Back to XIV Abstract Summary
Back to Symposium Presentations Summary
behaviour among prisioners: recent research and implications for intervention
HMYOI Lancaster Farms and Psychology Department, University of Central Lancashire, UK.
The symposium outlines recent research that has been conducted, or is in the process of being conducted into bullying behaviour among prisoners. The aim of the symposium is to describe the extent of research into this area and to highlight any recurrent themes between them. The papers are diverse in nature and address bullying behaviours among male, female, adult and young offenders. A number of areas are explored such as social problem solving (notably solving conflict situations involving bullying), attitudes towards victims\bullies, attitudes towards the self and the prison system and adjustment to prison. Also described is a longitudinal study addressing bullying among young male offenders. All papers are discussed with reference to implications for intervention into this specific form of aggressive behaviour.
analysis of the nature and extent of bullying behavior in a maximum-security
C.A. and Ireland*, J.L.
HMP Wymott and Psychology Department, University of Central Lancashire, UK.
*HMYOI Lancaster Farms and Psychology Department, University of Central Lancashire, UK.
This aim of the study was to investigate the nature and extent of bullying behaviour in a maximum-security prison, and to assess prisoners' attitudes towards the victims of bullying. 194 adult male prisoners completed the Direct and Indirect Prisoner Behavior Checklist (DIPC©: Ireland, 1998, Ireland, 1999) and a modified version of the Rigby and Slee (1991) pro-victim scale. Four distinct groups of prisoners were described: those who solely reported behaviours indicative of bullying others, pure bullies, those who solely reported behaviours indicative of being bullied, pure victims, those who reported behaviours indicative of being bullied and bullying others, bully/victims, and those who reported no such behaviours, not-involved group. The results showed that over half of the prisoners sampled had been bullied in the previous week. Only a small number of prisoners could be classified as either a pure bully or a pure victim, with almost half classified as bully/victims. The most frequent types of bullying used were psychological/verbal and indirect. No significant differences were observed between pure bullies, bully/victims, pure victims and the not involved groups' attitudes towards the victims of bullying or the bullies themselves. The findings hold implications for the development of anti-bullying programs. Such programs should consider the prevalence of indirect forms of bullying, and that a prisoner can be both a bully and a victim. The paper also makes reference to the development of focus groups as an intervention into bullying behaviour.
role of social problem solving in bullying behaviour among male and female adult
HMYOI Lancaster Farms and Psychology Department, University of Central Lancashire, UK.
The association between social problem solving and bullying among adult male and female prisoners is presented. 406 prisoners (210 males and 196 females) were categorised into four groups: pure bullies, pure victims, bully/victims and those not involved in bullying behaviour using a self-report behaviour checklist. Prisoners completed a questionnaire that presented them with 5 different bullying scenarios. The scenarios described indirect-physical, verbal, sexual, theft-related and indirect incidents of bullying. Prisoners were asked to suggest a best and a second-best way of dealing with each scenario. Responses were classified as aggressive, non-aggressive or ambiguous. It was predicted that those involved in bullying behaviour would produce fewer solutions to the conflict stories than those not involved in bullying, and that bullies and bully/victims would report more aggressive than non-aggressive solutions than the other groups. It was also predicted that bullies and bully/victims would be more likely to choose an aggressive response as their first choice than the other groups, who would opt for non-aggressive solutions. Gender differences were also predicted. The results showed that female bully/victims produced significantly more solutions in response to theft-related bullying than male bully/victims. There were no further significant group or gender differences observed in the number of solutions generated. The bully group favoured aggressive responses for all scenarios. Males reported more aggressive responses than females. The results are discussed with reference to the environment in which the social problem solving is taking place, and the implications of the findings for bullying intervention programmes.
review of research literature in bullying among prisoners: experiences and
lessons to learn
Psychology Department, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece.
Bullying is an important issue in today's society. Research has addressed its prevalence in schools, workplaces, the armed forces and prisons. The majority of research has focused on the school environment, with research into the bullying that occurs within prisons limited. The nature and prevalence of bullying in prison is of interest, with such environments acting to encourage this type of behaviour. The present paper recapitulates and abridges the research and literature in bullying among prisoners unveiling the current status, highlighting areas that have been missing and making a number of suggestions for future research. In the light of suggested directions for future research the present paper describes a project currently being undertaken that investigates the problem of bullying among Pakistani prisoners. Four different provinces of Pakistan (to broaden the spectrum of prison bullying research) are addressed in the research. The aim of the study is to explore the effects of being bullied or bullying others on a randomly selected sample of adult men and women prisoners (age group 21-45 years). The sample includes those who are married and unmarried, those coming from all different socio-economic classes and with all levels of religious practices. Those who are staying in prisons for more than six months, and serving for a range of offence types are also included. Prisoners were asked to complete measures addressing custodial attitudes, namely (I) attitude towards self, (II) attitude towards other prisoners and (III) attitude towards institutions. The study is being carried out in two parts: one pilot study consisting of approximately 60 prisoners, and the main study consisting of approximately 500 prisoners. This study is being conducted using a modified version of the Direct and Indirect Prison Behaviour Checklist (DIPC © Ireland, 1998) and the Rehabilitation in Correctional Settings Scale (RICS, © Rice, 1970).
longitudinal study of young offender conduct and experiences in prison
G. and Smith, P.K.
HMP Lancaster and Psychology Department, Goldsmiths College, University of London, UK.
The present paper describes a longitudinal study into bullying among young male offenders. Bullying represents an abusive behaviour based on a relationship which extends over a period of time. How individuals evolve during this relationship has not been investigated, although researchers have suggested that prisoners develop into bullies as their experience of prison life increases. To date there have been no longitudinal studies into bullying behaviour within a prison environment. The present study attempts to address this by examining the self-reported bullying behaviour of offenders from the day that they were first received into the prison up to the first eight months of their imprisonment. Prisoners were asked to completed behavioural checklists on a weekly basis. Hypotheses included: 1.) bullying behaviour increases over time in prison, 2.) previous experience predicts bullying others and being bullied and 3.) there is no clear distinction between the bully and the victim group. The study is not yet completed but preliminary examination of the data shows a moderate relationship between reporting being a bully and reporting being victimised, and between bullying and both previous prison experience and previous convictions. Those who had previously been in care reported engaging in more bullying behaviours. The most frequently reported form of abuse was verbal abuse, which increased over the first 10 weeks of a prisoners imprisonment (this was the case for both bullying others and being bullied). Other forms of bullying were less common and there is less evidence of them showing an increase over time. The initial results provide tentative support for the hypotheses: victimisation does appear to increase over time, particularly verbal victimisation, and bullying behaviour is moderately related to previous experience with prison. The moderate relationship between bully and victim items suggests there is no clear distinction between this group, and that those who bully may also be victims. The results are discussed with reference to implications for intervention.

The City of Wilmington has installed a new marked crosswalk across South 3rd Street at Ann Street.
This crosswalk is equipped with a special lighting system, which is the first of its kind in the State of North Carolina. This advanced lighting system is intended to warn approaching drivers of the presence of a pedestrian in the crosswalk. When a pedestrian presses the crosswalk button, flashing lights are activated to alert approaching motorists that there is someone in the crosswalk.
Motorists should be reminded that the speed limit along South 3rd Street is 35 mph and North Carolina state law requires motorists to yield to pedestrians within a crosswalk. Also, it is illegal to pass another vehicle that has stopped for a pedestrian in a crosswalk. The fine for violating these laws is $100.
The Wilmington Police Department is conducting an awareness and enforcement campaign along South 3rd Street.

Combat helmets were the standard issue helmets worn by the soldiers of the Coalition of Ordered Governments. Used extensively during both the Pendulum Wars and the Locust War, these helmets were made up of material that was found on Sera, most likely metal or ceramic. Most Gears wore helmets but some did not, opting instead to wear other headgear in accordance with COG policies.

"Banshee Chapter" is due to be released in theaters on January 10, according to Deadline.com's report today. "Banshee Chapter is a 2014 true-story movie based on real events, according to Blair Erickson, the film's director. The supernatural thriller is written by Blair Erickson and Daniel J. Healy. (Cast: Katia Winter, Michael McMillian and Ted Levine.)
"Banshee Chapter" synopsis/plot
When a journalist's friend suddenly disappears, Anne Roland begins to investigate. As she navigates deeper into the case, she realizes that her friend's disappearance is connected to a government experiment gone wrong and later abandoned by the government. But, will Anne Roland live long enough to expose the truth?
The true-story events that took place in the film are based on real accounts of the government's involvement with human experimentation. The director became interested in the history of government chemical experiments. In his research, he discovered that the counter-cultures were deliberately created by the development of mind-altering drugs such as LSD and other hallucinogens.
"Banshee Chapter" is mostly inspired the Lovecraft story "From Beyond" and MK Ultra, an LSD project that destroyed the lives of many subjects, according to Shocktillyoudrop.com.
Patients of these CIA secret experiments have confirmed that the events did happen. The true events can also be confirmed by examining declassified government documents that contain directives to use human beings as subjects for biochemical agents, all for the purpose of controlling the mind.
Director Blair Erickson, does not specify exactly from where his information comes. Instead, he hopes that the making of the movie will allow viewers to read between the lines and explore the subject further.

'Banshee Chapter' based on CIA-Mind Control Experiments
Director Blair Erickson became intrigued with topic of mind control experiments that have been conducted by the CIA-government. The entire movie is inspired by two things: Covert government experiments and "From Beyond."
MKULTRA: LSD Experiments
Thinking back, if you have ever seen other movies that are similar to this one, you'll realize there are many people who are already aware of these secret government experiments.
Historical government experiments
The government-CIA has a long history of performing human experiments on unsuspecting individuals. A little research on the topic of human experimentation and testimony of mind control victims is quite enlightening.

Lyall Davenport, Associated Press
NAPA, Calif. — A powerful earthquake that struck the heart of California's wine country caught many people sound asleep, sending dressers, mirrors and pictures crashing down around them. Scores were injured as the temblor knocked out power to thousands, caused gas and water lines to rupture and sparked fires.
The magnitude 6.0-quake struck at 3:20 a.m. PDT Sunday near the city of Napa, an oasis of Victorian-era buildings nestled in the vineyard-studded hills of Northern California.
The fires also flared in a mobile home park where four homes were destroyed and two others were damaged, officials said.
By midday Sunday, the fires were out and power was starting to be restored, said Mark Ghilarducci, director of the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services.
"While it was bad, it wasn't as bad as it could be and it was very manageable from a regional perspective," Ghilarducci said.
The quake struck about six miles south of Napa and lasted 10 to 20 seconds depending on proximity to the epicenter, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It was the largest to shake the San Francisco Bay Area since the magnitude-6.9 Loma Prieta quake struck in 1989, collapsing part of the Bay Bridge roadway and killing more than 60 people, most when an Oakland freeway fell.
It was felt widely throughout the region, with people reporting feeling it more than 200 miles south of Napa and as far east as the Nevada border.
For many, the quake struck at the worst time possible, rousing them in the middle of the night and sending them fumbling in darkness to take cover and find loved ones. A number of the injuries were caused by people stepping on broken glass, falling down or being hit by furniture.
The quake's timing was also bad for Napa Valley's famed vineyards, where winemakers were just getting ready to harvest the 2014 crop. The quake broke thousands of bottles of wine and toppled barrels.
Omar Rodriguez, 23, of Napa, was treated for a gash on his forehead in one of the triage tents outside a hospital that handled the victims.
"We woke up to the earthquake and I thought I was dreaming because I fell off my bed, you know, it was all dark, and I just got back up. She noticed it was all bleeding," he said, referring to his girlfriend.
Officials were still assessing the damage late Sunday in hopes of getting a cost estimate they could submit for possible federal assistance. But the initial assessment found that dozens of homes and buildings in the region were unsafe to occupy, including an historic Napa County courthouse, where a 10-foot wide hole opened a view of the offices inside.
Queen of the Valley Medical Center in Napa reported treating 172 people in the emergency room, although hospital officials could not say how many of them were there for injuries suffered in the quake and how many for more routine injuries and illnesses, hospital CEO Walt Mickens said.
Twelve people were admitted for broken bones and other medical problems directly related to the earthquake, including an adult who remained in critical condition on Sunday night and a 13-year-old boy.
The teen was hit by flying debris from a collapsed fireplace and had to be airlifted to the children's hospital at the University of California Davis Medical Center for a neurological evaluation. He condition was listed as serious, hospital spokeswoman Phyllis Brown said.
While inspecting the shattered glass at her husband's storefront office in downtown Napa, Chris Malloy described calling for her two children in the dark as the quake rumbled under the family's home, tossing heavy pieces of furniture for several feet.

Does your father maintain a year round residence here in Florida even though he doesn't reside here year round?
OK, I know a non resident cannot buy a gun in Florida.
My question is, if someone lives in Florida part time, and legally owns a long gun. Can I legally buy that long gun from the non-resident without going through an FFL.
The non-resident is my father, not that it has any basis in law.
Again, we are talking LONG GUN here, not handgun.
Does your father maintain a year round residence here in Florida even though he doesn't reside here year round?
Technically, no.
Family is not exempt from the FFL transfer of a long gun sale regarding non residents.
I am going to make it a point to try and find a law or case law where this made no difference in a case.
Any gun shop or FFL will tell you, no state id, no sale regardless if you own property in the state your trying to buy the gun in. Your residency is determined by the state on your idea. Florida, among other states, has done away with dual residency post 9/11. You used to be able to get non resident ID here, you cant anymore. No ID for the state you are trying to buy a handgun in, no immediate sale. A FFL has to take possession, transfer it to you and ship it to a FFL in your state of residency. If its a long gun, FFL transfer needed but you can take possession of it among the FFL completion and walk out.
Why not have him store the gun at your place since he is gone most of the time?
I've purchased guns from my cousin who lives in another state. An individual to individual purchase has no trail and guns don't have to be registered in FL.

I was in the Fl Gun Exchange last week and overheard a conversation between customer and salesman. There was no way the transaction was going to take place and the customer walk out with the firearm since he was not a resident. FGE would contact the customers home FFL, get proof of license and then ship the gun there. The gun had to be paid for at the receiving FFL's place of business. Then it would be released. I just don't recall if they were speaking about a long gun or pistol. I think it was a long gun.(?)
Gee, I dunno guys. Maybe because his dad selling him the gun privately is a felony. An FFL is required by law to sell a long gun to a non-resident.
Do whatever you want in your lives but the OP is asking for legal advice. Keep your recommendations of breaking the law to yourself.

Metro Boston, north shore and metro west: Locations north and west of Boston escaped the worst from this most recent storm but that certainly cannot be said for those over southeastern Massachusetts. Areas within Norfolk and Plymouth Counties saw over a foot of the powdery snow, with some reporting about 18 inches by early this morning. Most schools in those locations cancelled classes for Wednesday with Boston schools closed as well. A few school cancellations or delayed openings were reported north and west of the city where much less snow fell.
In Essex County the totals were from less than an inch near the New Hampshire border to 2 to 4 inches in general across the lower portion of the county. A few early morning totals were Swampscott reporting 4 inches, Saugus 3, Topsfield 2.5 and Andover about ½ inch. Across Middlesex County Natick reports 4 inches, Ashland 3 and Wakefield about 2.
Elsewhere, Boston reports around 4.5 inches, with the jackpot south of the city. Hanover 18 inches, about 17 in Sharon, 16 in south Weymouth, 15 Brockton and near 12 in Duxbury. Some of these cities may add to their totals since light snow still lingers on through the morning near the coast and especially south of the city.
Bitter cold air remains entrenched across the region as temperatures are still hovering in the single digits at mid morning across the north shore and metro west. Gusty north winds are adding a sting to the air delivering wind chills below zero this morning and around zero this afternoon. Wind chill values will dip to -10 tonight and -10 to near -20 Thursday night.
The intensifying ocean storm is moving away from us this morning and there will be gradual improvement during the afternoon. A clipper system will be shunted south of the area Thursday, perhaps giving parts of the mid-Atlantic a touch of light snow, however for our area we remain icy cold into Friday. We briefly modify some on Saturday ahead of the next approaching cold front which may trigger a few snow showers Saturday and Saturday evening, otherwise, it remains dry through the weekend.
However, the cold front brings another shot of arctic air Sunday and then the possibility of another storm threat by Monday. Those heating bills are not going to ease up anytime soon as we remain in a cold pattern well into next week.
72 Hour Outlook:
Wednesday: A few flurries or passing snow showers through the morning, especially near the coast. Brightening skies this afternoon. Windy and frigid with afternoon high temperatures only 12 to 16 degrees. North winds gusting 25 to 30 mph.
Wednesday night: Partly cloudy, breezy and very cold. Lows 5 above zero to 5 below, coldest away from the coast. Northwest winds 10 to 20 mph, higher gusts through the evening.
Thursday: Partly to mostly sunny, temperatures continue much colder than normal. Highs only 12 to 16. Northwest winds 8 to 18 mph.
Thursday night: Bitter cold. Partly cloudy. Lows hovering near zero. Northwest winds 5 to 15 mph.
Friday: Mostly sunny. Uncomfortably cold again. Highs around 15.
Friday night: Increasing clouds. Temperatures remaining fairly steady overnight with lows 10 to 14.

When the entire ship shudders violently after a missile strikes it, rookie sailors in the Navy's latest war-game simulator find out what it was like when the USS Cole was hit nearly seven years ago.
Sirens blare, lights go out, walls collapse and smoke billows in after the deafening explosion. Naval recruits scramble through the ruins, helping injured sailors while responding to the mock terrorist attack.
It's all part of "boot camp" on the USS Trayer, the Navy's new virtual-fighting ship, christened last week at the Great Lakes Naval Station in suburban Chicago. Since then, nearly 1,000 recruits have run the floating obstacle course -- dubbed Battle Stations 21 -- to hone their maritime skills.
And though the sailors navigate what amounts to an armored theme-park ride, the last thing on their minds is Walt Disney World or Universal Orlando.
The themed entertainment community played a key role in creating what is being called "the world's largest training simulator," an $83 million project involving a full-size replica of a modern guided-missile destroyer -- like the USS Cole -- housed in a complex at Great Lakes.
The Navy says training on the Trayer is definitely no walk in the theme park. Special-effects are so authentic, the action so real, many recruits have been visibly scared during the 12-hour exercise, officials said. Some have been brought to tears.
"Battle Stations 21 is no ride; it is a practical exam," said Lt. Andrew Bond, the Trayer's top training officer at Great Lakes. "And it is frightening. When it goes dark, that smoke pours in and steam hits the backs of their necks when they're trying to get out; it can be very scary."
The simulator is housed in a 157,000-square-foot building and floats in a man-made harbor of 100,000 gallons of water.
Audio is sourced from multiple Alcorn McBride Digital Binloops. Simulation control is provided by PLCs. The system is synchronized using V16s.

U.K. Tech Sector Needs to Be More Ambitious, Says New TSB Chairman
The U.K. needs to think bigger, be more ambitious and politicians need to support technology more, says the incoming chairman of the Technology Strategy Board said Monday.
Phil Smith, CEO of Cisco for the U.K. and Ireland, takes up his four-year appointment on 1 Dec., replacing Graham Spittle, CTO and vice president of IBM's Software Group Europe.
"We need to set ourselves much more ambitious targets," he said. "Although we do a reasonable job at talking at high level politically… We need more ambition. It is a bit like broadband which I was involved in. When the government were talking about putting 2MB broadband everywhere, if you go for 2MB you might get 1.5MB if you are lucky. If you go for 1,000MB, then you might get to 500MB or something."
He said he wanted to see far greater creation of wealth in the U.K. tech sector. "So we are not saying there is Arm, and Autonomy and a couple of others, but we are quoting 30 or 40 companies."
He also said that success for him would mean greater support from ministers. "I don't think we get a broad enough perspective. We get trade ministers saying technology is a competitive advantage for the U.K., but I would like to see ministers from health, or from transport, saying our technology is the thing that is making us better than anyone else."
The Technology Strategy Board is the U.K.'s national innovation agency. Its goal is to accelerate economic growth by stimulating and supporting business-led innovation. It is an executive non departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Business Innovation and Skills. It is the prime channel for delivering government support for business-led technology innovation and operates across the U.K. economy to stimulate innovation.
Mr. Smith defended the role of public money being spent on private innovation.
"I am a commercial guy, I run a big company. I don't want everything to be publicly funded, but I do want to do is to use the power [of the public sector] to focus on issues that are important to our economy in as business-sensitive a way as they possibly can.
"There is a role for the TSB in providing a catalyst for change. It is not unusual for government to do this as we have seen in Germany and Korea for them to put in place an environment, either fiscal to stimulate investment, or an environment to feed R&D. If we can do that in a sensitive way to drive the market, that is not an unreasonable role for government."
One of the main things the TSB does, he said, was to look at the barriers to innovation, asking businesses what is stopping them from innovating. "We are looking for situations where that innovation is not going to happen unless we do something to catalyze and support it."
Mr. Smith, who has a degree in microbiology from Glasgow University, has a long history in technology, including time at Philips, IBM and 17 years at Cisco. He said he will donate his remuneration, £15,720 a year, to charity.

One Direction's Harry Styles Opens Up About Pregnancy Scare
One Direction's Harry Styles has opened up about losing his virginity, and confessed that it led to a nerve-wracking pregnancy scare!
In a new interview, Harry talked about his first time, telling OK:
"The first time I had sex, I was scared I got the girl pregnant. And that was despite the fact we were safe. Luckily, we were fine.
"I would never risk not wearing a condom, it's too much of a risk. If you're not ready for a child, then don't risk it."
Sounds like he's learned his lesson from that experience, although he also admitted he's STILL not used to the attention he gets from female fans.
Really? Still, Harry?! BS

Kentucky signee Derek Willis tells Courier-Journal his predictions for the 3 remaining prospects.
What do you think about Andrew Wiggins and Julius Randle's decisions?
When I put my predictions out there for people coming, they generally do happen. As far as Wiggins goes, I've tried to figure him out. I've read everything and looked him up. I don't know. I know UK is one of his top two choices, I would say. As far as Julius Randle goes, and this is all based on what I've found, what I've read, I think he will come. As far as Aaron Gordon goes, he's on the West Coast. I don't think he'll come, too far away. That's just my insight.

Dangerous rhythms in the heart can lead to sudden cardiac arrest. Traditionally, "we put defibrillators in just about anybody that has a weak heart," says Dr. Otto Costantini, MetroHealth's director of cardiac electrophysiology and arrhythmia prevention. But for many, "it's like having an insurance policy that you never use," he says. To better determine patients who will, Costantini has begun using a new test that uses computerized algorithms to detect subtle changes in heartbeats.

AKRON — A Medina County woman was convicted Friday of posing as a veterinarian and causing the death of an Akron man's service dog.
Brandi A. Tomko, 36, of Sharon Township, was found guilty by Summit County Common Pleas Judge Paul Gallagher after a three-day trial.
Tomko, who waived her right to a jury trial, was found guilty of two felonies — forgery and identity fraud — and several misdemeanor charges, including animal cruelty, and assaulting or harassing a service dog.
She faces a maximum punishment of 3 1/2 years in prison.
Prosecutors said Tomko passed herself off as a veterinarian at a former Akron pet clinic in 2011, with the result that many pets were maimed or died.

Most bakers agree the first bulk ferment gives more flavor development to the dough. But in my experience, that rarely happens. So often I start a project bread dough on a whim. Then, half-heartedly looking at the clock, I have to rush or retard the dough.
Given my schedule, there would not be time for a preshape, just straight into banneton and a long final proof. I asked Daylesfords Organic's Head baker Eric Duhamel about my cunundrum regarding short bulk versus long final rise. He advised me to give it a longer bulk, adding that this is a subject about which "you could talk the beard off a billy goat if you like." Anyway, I went for it. In this first cut the crumb showed large holes. But as I sliced the crumb seemed more dense like the Miche I've had at Le Pain Quotidien. It worked.

I would like to approximate one cubic Bezier curve with two quadratic ones. In other words, I would like to split a cubic curve at some parameter
t and approximate the resulting halves with a quadratic Bezier each.
(cubic -> split at
t -> two cubics -> two quadratics)
Obviously, it is possible to split the original curve very badly, say by choosing
t closely to 0 or 1, if the curve looks like a simple arch.
Please, I have two questions:
how can I formalize this "badness"? How to decide if one split is better than another? Is there any way to tell how "different" one approximation is that the other? Related, how to tell how well the result approximates the original curve?
how to choose good
t? With regards to the original cubic curve coordinates? If I knew what "badness" is, would it be possible to choose such
tthat the resulting quadratic splits would be equally "bad", i.e. to how to fairly split the original curve?

'Tree of Life' Wins Top Prize at Cannes
Terrence Malick's "Tree of Life" won the top prize, the Palme d'Or, at the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday night. It was the American auteur's second time with a victory at the festival; his second film, "Days of Heaven," won him the best director prize in 1979.
"Tree of Life" interweaves the story of a Texas family's domestic strife with a brutish father at its center (played by Brad Pitt) and images of the universe's creation, from jellyfish to dinosaurs. Fox Searchlight will release the film in the U.S. next Friday.
The festival's runner-up Grand Prize was a tie between Cannes veterans Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne for their latest Belgian-set social humanist drama "The Kid with a Bike," and Turkish filmmaker Nuri Bilge Ceylan for his thriller "Once Upon a Time in Anatolia."
Maverick Danish director Lars von Trier, who was banned from Cannes after making controversial statements during a press conference earlier in the week, did not win a prize. But his film, the critically-acclaimed apocalyptic wedding drama "Melancholia," did not leave the night empty-handed. Kirsten Dunst, the star of the movie, won the best actress prize.
Denmark could also celebrate with this year's best director winner, 41-year-old Nicholas Winding Refn, who came to the festival for the first time with his 8th feature film "Drive," an arty action thriller starring Ryan Gosling as a psychotic stunt-car driver.
French actor Jean Durjardin won the best actor prize for his almost entirely pantomimed performance as a suave Hollywood leading man in the silent-film era ode "The Artist," which will be released in the U.S. by The Weinstein Company.
The best screenplay prize went to Israel director Joseph Cedar for "Footnote," a drama about father and son Talmudic scholars caught up in a bitter rivalry.
A Special Jury Prize was also awarded to French director Maiwenn's "Polisse," a French police procedural, reminiscent of "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," that was largely dismissed by critics at the festival, but landed a U.S. distribution pact during the festival with IFC Films. The company also acquired "The Kid with a Bike."
Despite reported hissing in the press room after "Polisse's" win, film critics and industry professionals were largely satisfied with Cannes' 64th edition, with a record number of films receiving both U.S. distribution deals and high critical praise.

I need something for my shoulders for my son's wedding and designed the perfect little wrap to do the job!
Details are on my project page here:
I used 6/20nm linen/silk DK and lots of beads on the edging. You can find this yarn here:
Samedi 21 Juin 2014 17:55:00
Made with the same yummy yak/merino as the one in the post below! Same gorgeous results!
I made 2, one for my son and one for his wife to be (I did reenforce the belt loop holes so they no longer gape!) for wedding prezzies. (They get married next week!)
Samedi 21 Juin 2014 17:51:05
This is made with the 4/14nm yak/merino DK. Perfect yarn for this pattern! I am really happy with the results!

I started this design c 2 years ago. I kept meaning to add the flowers - but thought against it as being "too busy" . I'm glad I decided against it.
Lovely to wear - the yarn used was 100% extra fine merino 15/44NM dk wt tartan green. I love the sleeves and am planning to make the same but a longer in length version.
If you have a Ravelry account, the following link will take you to the project page.
Yours truly modelling the design.

FIFA's World Cup tournament commenced yesterday and this is my Mascot - which I'm going to gift to a fellow Arsenal FC (my team) supporter.
It's supposed to represent me (though from Caribbean descent) I've never worn dreadlocks!
The yarn was - my default yarn! - Extra Fine Merino. The colours are my favourite team colours when we won the double (League & FA Cup) over the period 1970./71.
You can just about see the "Red Card" in the right hand and it looks like I'm pointing at someone, with the other hand. That deadly combination only means one thing - "Game over for that person!"

Have just finished a mans jumper, knitted on a Passap Pinky, with the above yarn. I knitted it Italian Knit or Longstitch, the fabric is lovely and soft, bloomed up slightly when washed. So happy with this yarn, have bought another cone in dark navy.
Samedi 15 Mars 2014 17:32:03
Been swatching again!
I quite like this one and best of all is that the purple doesn't bleed. I plan to knit these 2 together! (But I hear that the dark blue and the red does bleed so be careful if you plan colourwork and swatch them up together first!)
4/20nm Cashmerino from CM2 details are here:

Why do I penpal?
I have been blessed with a few new penpals in the past month or so. Sometimes, it almost feels like I have too many. But I spent a little time today thinking about the number of penpals I have. I realized I don't have too many.
I live in a little farming town in northeastern Colorado. I am a broke school teacher. I will likely never travel this country, let alone the world. However, because of my penpals I can travel. I can travel through their words.
I've never been to Pennsylvania but I know what that state is like because of Becky and Rachel. They let me in their lives so I know what cold, damp snow looks and feels like. I know what it takes to be a veterinarian and to be a student in college is like. Thank you!
Ilona keeps me apprised as to what is happening in the Northeast, albeit only a couple of times per year, but stories of chasing possums are eternal. Bev is my favorite Californian. She is a theater critic and has reviewed some interesting things! My friend Roger is due back from Florida, tanned, rested and happy. Rob is my fine friend from Italy. Lucas is a kindred soul who has passions for music and fountain pens. Elle and I have invented history together. My new friend Jim and I are sharing a trans-Atlantic spiritual quest to read the entire Bible during 2012.
I have other pen pals that don't have internet personas. Steven and I have have been corresponding for almost 2 years. Bill has become a trusted spiritual mentor (not bad having God and a lawyer on your side). Jane and I share a love of fountain pens and the early American West. Shona is my favorite Scot. Sarah is my sister from another mother (jeez, that doesn't sound as cool as brutha frum anutha mutha) from Great Britain.
I know I have missed some in this tribute. Sorry, I am not the most organized when it come to keeping track of who, what, when, etc. Some of my new acquaintances have been 1 and done, some have been 2 and done, we don't always connect. But each letter is kept safe and occasionally brought out and reviewed.
My life is so much richer because I decided to start using a fountain pen and tried to improve my handwriting.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention my main dealers, Goulet Pens and European Paper gladly fuel my obsession. Check them out.
Thank you all for that you have shared with me.

If you asked a busy mom what she craves, do you know the answer? For many moms, the ability to relax in quiet, uninterrupted moment is a luxury. This Mother's Day give the deserving mom in your life a gift that pampers her all the time with the Cloud b Mommy's Dream Time Gift Set.
The Cloud b Mommy's Dream Time Gift Set creates an environment to allow the woman in your life a moment to unwind. The set contains a robe, soothing eye mask, comforting eye mask cover and journal. With these items and a little quiet, mom can enjoy her moments to herself.
Made from soft bamboo-cotton, the robe wraps mom in luxury. Whether lounging in bed or coming out of the bath, this lightweight robe drapes loosely and ties with a sateen sash. Wrapped in comfort, mom may want to spend the day wrapped in this robe.
Blocking out the light can be helpful to a restful sleep. The soothing eye mask can help relieve the tensions of the day and help mom awaken refreshed. When used warm, the eye mask can sooth sinuses and relieve tension headaches. For strained eyes and puffiness, a cold mask can reduce the tired expression from the day.
When using the mask, the comforting eye mask cover can assist with total relaxation. The lavender sachet helps to release tension with each inhale. The cover can be used without the sachet. Made from bamboo and cotton, the soft cover is machine washable.
With all the stress and tension slowly wafting away, to-do lists are replaced with thoughts, memories or even dreams. A journal by the bed is a perfect way to capture these fleeting moments on paper. From a simple phrase or a elaborate drawing, the journal can be the keepsake to make dreams come true.
The Cloud b Mommy's Dream Time Gift Set can be purchased online at the Cloud b website. It retails for approximately $49.95.

ROANOKE — A 36-year-old Carroll County man snared in a drug trafficking conspiracy has pleaded guilty in federal court, but he reserves the right to argue down the amount of methamphetamine involved.
Jesse William Grayson got caught up in the same investigation that led to the conviction of Donald Scott Vaughan, who fled from a drug sting at Interstate 77's Exit 14 at high speeds across western Carroll County.
The Free Clinic of the Twin Counties needs your help.
We are seeing a minimum of 20 new applicants per week who qualify as patients. The applicants are residents of Carroll, Grayson and the City of Galax and have been residents for a minimum of six months. They are totally uninsured and have household incomes of 125 percent, or less, of the federal poverty level.
That is $13,538 for a family of one, $18,213 for a family of two, $22,888 for a family of three, $27,563 for a family of four.
HILLSVILLE –– Whatever the differences are between the River Ridge District teams and those of Southwest Virginia, whether simple nuances or major disparities, those differences simply need more of an adjustment period than one evening can provide.
An otherwise dominant Carroll County was ousted from the Region IV tournament for the fourth straight year by an RRD opponent as Blacksburg dealt the Cavaliers their first and only loss of the season, ending Carroll's year with a 25-13, 25-17, 25-19 decision in Monday's Region IV quarterfinals.
NARROWS –– Galax used a big second quarter to jump out to a 27-0 halftime lead and locked up the No. 3 seed in the Region C Division 1 playoffs Friday with a 41-0 defeat of Narrows at Ragsdale Field.
The Maroon Tide improved to 7-3 overall, 3-1 in the Mountain Empire District and earned a share of the MED championship thanks to Grayson County's upset win over Fort Chiswell.
Terrance Mazon slung three touchdown passes on the night, all three coming in a 20-point second-quarter explosion.
With the VHSL splitting volleyball championships into division beginning this year, Galax has had its eye on the school's first state tournament berth for quite a while.
The Mountain Empire District tournament only served as a means for the Maroon Tide to pick up steam.
Galax entered the Region C Division 1 tournament as the No. 1 seed after breezing to the MED tournament championship with a pair of wins Saturday at GHS.
HILLSVILLE –– For the second time in three years, Carroll County entered regional tournament play undefeated as the Cavaliers took down Richlands for the Southwest District tournament championship Thursday at CCHS.
After winning a sloppy first game and seeing Richlands take the second game, the Cavaliers (22-0) regrouped and coasted the rest of the way for a 25-22, 25-27, 25-14, 25-15 win.
Getting into the playoffs is a pretty cool deal, especially when getting there means ending an eight-year dry spell between postseason appearances. It's cool to Galax coach Mark Dixon for a different reason. It means progress is being made.
Region C
Galax earned a first-round bye and will open Region C Division 1 volleyball tournament action Wednesday.
The Mountain Empire District regular season and tournament champion Maroon Tide will play at 6 p.m. Wednesday at Eastern Montgomery H.S. against the winner of Monday's Craig County-Narrows first-round match. The championship is scheduled for Thursday at 7 at EastMont.
Region IV
HILLSVILLE — People gathered at a Pipers Gap home on May 18 saw horseplay between David Levelle Richardson of Galax and Bryon Jordan Wilson escalate into something more violent.
No witness saw the shooting that killed Wilson, because it happened in the bathroom of the home on Coal Creek Road. But a witnesses testifying at the preliminary hearing in Carroll County General District Court Friday agreed that, after a fight, Wilson picked up an object and followed Richardson into the bathroom.
MAX MEADOWS –– Needing a win to keep its season alive, Grayson County hadn't made a defensive stop all night. But when the Blue Devils needed one the most, they got three.
Trailing by as many as 21 points midway through the third quarter, Grayson withstood two fourth-and-short opportunities by the Pioneers, then turned the stops into touchdowns to rally for a remarkable 35-28 win in a Mountain Empire District thriller at C.F. McKinney Stadium.

Keeping Bee Hives - Low Maintenance Livestock
Keeping bee hives is an old practice. Honeybees feed and water themselves, roost on their own, and have few predators. Honeybees pollinate your gardens and increase yields. Once a colony is established, a family can easily be supplied with a year of honey plus some to share, regardless of your situation-in a town, in the country, or somewhere in between.
Starting a Bee Hive
Keeping bee hives begins with having a suitable site. It is best to use high ground where the hive can face the eastern sunrise or southern sun to keep the hive warm. An outbuilding or hedge that can shield the hive from the wind is also preferred because severe cold can kill bees. If neighbors are a concern, a six foot tall hedge, screen, or fence can force the bees to fly above any passersby on their way to and from the hive.
Honeybee Hives
Bee hives come in two varieties-Langstroth and top bar. Langstroth hives are stacks of boxes that mimic natural hives. Top bar hives are widely varied in appearance and can be quickly and easily constructed from found materials. Top bar hives also give lower honey yields than Langstroth hives. The best way to begin bee keeping is to join a local beekeeping support group. Because most support groups use the Langstroth hive, this article will focus on this type of hive.
Langstroth bee hives can be purchased or constructed. At a minimum, a bee hive consists of a bottom board, a deep body, a queen excluder, a shallow honey super, inner cover, and outer cover. The hive can be used for years as long as no contamination from disease such as foul brood exists. Your local extension office or state apiarist can inspect questionable equipment. Other basic starting needs include a smoker, a veil, and a hive tool. Even if the colony fails, a new colony can be established in the old equipment.
Set up the hive - Once the perfect spot has been located on your land, you can set up the hive. To keep the hive dry and to prevent rotting, begin by placing a couple concrete blocks on the site. Set the bottom board down on the blocks. Add shims to tilt the board slightly forward if necessary-this will help the rain and snow drain out of the hive. Excess moisture will kill bees.
Set the deep body on the bottom board. The entrance to the hive will jut out a bit. Think of it as a landing deck for the honeybees. On top of the body, the inner cover can be placed, followed by the outer cover. The shallow super can be added when the colony has built comb throughout a majority of the deep body.
Establish the colony - Bee hives need bees, and they can come from swarms and packages. Since swarms are wild and unpredictable, most people begin with a package. Area honey producers and industry suppliers take orders over the winter by phone and email, and sell packages of honeybees by weight every year in early spring, with and without queens. Unless you are near a queen producer, order a queen and a couple pounds.
The package is a small wooden box containing bees, a queen, and a can of syrup. Once you have the package home, you can install it, preferably in the late afternoon or early evening when the bees won't want to fly off to forage. Fill a spray bottle with sugar syrup or water. Set the package near the hive and light the smoker; put on your veil and other protective equipment as desired, such as leather bee gloves and a light colored shirt. Set the smoker on the ground near the hive to help calm the bees.
Spray syrup or water on the screen (side of the package) to calm the bees and make them easier to handle. When they are calm (and quit eating the syrup if you sprayed with syrup), remove the lid and the can of syrup that came with the package. Knock the box on the ground to get the bees at the bottom of the box. Remove the cage with the queen and close the box temporarily. Remove the cork from the queen cage; poke the candy plug with a small nail. Position the cage between the centermost frames, with the screened sides perpendicular to the frames. Going back to the package, open the box, shake and pour the bees on top of the queen cage. Set the package on the ground. Any remaining bees will work their way to hive over time. Carefully place the inner and outer covers on the hive. Insert an entrance reducer if you have it. Give the bees at least 24 hours together so prevent them from abandoning the hive and encouraging them to bond with the queen.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Teresa Giudice and Joe have a 39 count indictment against them. So will Bravo fire Teresa Giudice, and what will happen to Real Housewives of New Jersey? Fans are wondering today if Teresa Giudice will be fired from Real Housewives of New Jersey, or not invited back, following her criminal indictment today. Teresa Giudice asserts that she has done nothing wrong. But prosecutors claim that Teresa has engaged in alleged acts of fraud dating back to 2001 and most recently involving Bravo income.
The future of Teresa Giudice with Bravo, and the future of the current RHONJ cast, remains unresolved today. Fans were left in shock when news broke around 3 pm EST that the Teresa Giudice and her husband have been charged by a federal grand jury on thirty-nine counts of alleged mail, wire, and bankruptcy fraud. Teresa's Twitter account went silent. The star released no statement on her Twitter account. But her attorney told news that Teresa would plead not guilty and that "we look forward to vindicating her." Joe Giudice issued a separate news statement calling "today is a most difficult day for our family."
It remains unclear how federal prosecutors obtained Bravo income statements. They assert that Teresa Giudice allegedly mislead financial entitles about her RHONJ salary and allegedly set up dummy companies to hide income. As the news broke, there was no Twitter activity on the accounts for Joe Gorga, Jacqueline Laurita, and Caroline Manzo. In an ironic twist, Danielle Staub tweeted just yesterday "No one can take away your love, happiness or power without permission." But federal prosecutors are seeking to send both Teresa and her husband to federal prison for as many as fifty years.
The news also prompted silence from Andy Cohen. On Sunday, Cohen hosted Teresa on WWHL. Two hours ago, he tweeted "Check it out – @Teresa_Giudice brought GIA to the show last night! I died". At the time that Cohen was posting the tweet, a New Jersey grand jury was returning the indictment against Teresa and Joe. Moments ago, Cohen tweeted "My #WWHL team is getting ready for our #MDLNY reunion on Wed — send me your best Q's for @RyanSerhant".

Fletcher to grow earnings by cutting costs
Fletcher Building's new head plans to grow earnings by cutting costs, creating centres of excellence and stepping up the shift into the digital era.
New chief executive Mark Adamson says Fletcher Building's outlook is more positive than its competitors.
The company says building activity is gaining momentum in Christchurch and new house building has been improving in Auckland.
But housing consents in Australia have continued to decline, the commercial building market remains weak in Australasia, trading in Europe is still difficult and the firm's concerned about China's slowdown.
The company's share price rose 27 cents to $7.65 per share on Tuesday.
