School News
The Aldenham Business Society was delighted to welcome as their guest speaker, Mr Andy Haldane, the Chief Economist from the Bank of England. Mr Haldane,
voted TIME magazine Top 100 most influential people in the world, is one of the nine members who works with the Governor of the Bank to decide what the base rate of interest should be. As a result, this makes Mr Haldane one of the most important and influential people in the United Kingdom.
With those studying economics and business along with members of staff and selected members of Les Philosophes present, Mr Haldane spoke of the history of the bank and its monetary policy operations to the present day. He started by explaining how lucky the students are to be studying Economics in the current climate when the biggest opportunity to re-think the economy is right now. We are living in a time of unprecedented global economic turmoil with interest rates in the UK at their lowest for at least 5,000 years. He covered the financial crisis of 2008 and how economics and macroeconomic policy is currently in unchartered territory. The Chief Economist went on to explain that this recession will almost certainly be harder to recover from than the Great Depression of the 1930s which had hitherto been considered to be the deepest and longest-lasting economic downturn in the history of the Western industrialised world. The challenge now is to find ways of stabilising the economy. "It is a time for changing rules and changing policy too," he said.
Speaking to an attentive audience of Sixth Form students Mr Haldane touched on the difficulties of predicting the peaks and troughs of the housing market, pensions, the next interest rate moves and the likely effects of Brexit on the economy. It must be remembered that since the mid-1940s the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has increased by 2% p.a. making each generation one third better off than the previous. He then fielded questions from an inquisitive audience for over half an hour.
It was a fascinating talk and we are immensely grateful to Mr Haldane for giving up his time to visit us. The legacy of his lecture will continue in our classrooms for many weeks to come.
Interesting note: Aldenham School had already been around for almost 100 years when the Bank of England was founded back in 1694.
Aldenham School in Elstree has won a Good Schools Guide Award for the Best Performance by Boys taking History at an English Independent School.
Aldenham School
has been presented with this award for out-performing all other English schools in its category. The prestigious annual awards, now in their 10th year, are based on a detailed analysis of the most recent examination results, and are designed to highlight consistently good teaching. These awards give individual teachers and departments where teaching is at its very best the recognition they deserve.
The Good Schools Guide Awards are based on a series of calculations which take into account relative popularity and performance of the subject, absolute performance, and percentage of pupils taking the subject.
Headmaster James Fowler said, "We are absolutely delighted to be acknowledged in this way for our excellence in GCSE History. This is a very proud moment for Aldenham and we are sure it will inspire and encourage all our pupils."
The Good Schools Guide is the largest independent guide to UK schools. The guide contains over 1300 good schools across both the independent and state sectors.
Honorary Alderman of Hertfordshire, 90 year old John Usher, returned to Aldenham School on Tuesday 22nd March 2016, to reminisce on earlier visits in the
1940s when as a member of the Aldenham Boys Club he played football, cricket and even camped in the grounds during school holidays. The Club members, who all lived in Kentish Town, were well looked after and enjoyed very happy times at the School.
The Aldenham Boys Club was set up to help young people widen their horizons, instil responsibility and provide memorable experiences. John Usher is testament to the success of this aim. As a teenager during the Second World War he played centre-half for Fulham FC. He went on to become an army officer and later a Ministry of Defence Consultant. He then spent 22 years serving as a Local and County Councillor.
In 1911 Aldenham, like many public schools, supported a Christian 'mission'. It was from this operation that the Aldenham Boys Club was formed in 1933 and ties with the School were strengthened in 1935 when several former pupils (Old Aldenhamians, OAs) leant their support and the Headmaster at that time, George Riding, took over the Chairmanship. The premises in Highgate Road were bought and reconstructed with money from the School and grants to provide facilities for the Boys Club.
Gradually a very strong bond between the School and the Boys Club was formed, with some joint activities being arranged. From its inception the Club activities were run by volunteers, many of whom were OAs and then former Club members came forward, prepared to put back into the club every bit as much as they had got from it. In 1985 the Aldenham Club Trust was formed, when the income generated through the sale of the Aldenham Club premises was invested. The Trustees continue to support youth projects and organisations in the Kentish Town area to this day.
An afternoon tea party was laid on for John and his family at Aldenham School, where he met the Headmaster, James Fowler, Club Trustees, and a current pupil, Zico Asare, who currently plays for Fulham FC and England Under 15s. John was given a tour of the School site and enjoyed watching the whole school cross country. He said:
"If I'd brought my trainers I would have joined in – for old time's sake".
It was wonderful to welcome John back and to hear about the memories he formed of the school as a young man.

At the beginning of the season the young footballers from Aldenham School could hardly have dared to imagine that they would secure no less than
three County Cup wins but that is exactly what they have achieved. This week the Under 15 team joined the recent Under 12 and Under 13 winners when they beat Verulam School 3-2 to be awarded one of the most extraordinary trophies in football. The Wix shield has a proud history having been competed for every year since 1901. For most schools these three wins would be a great achievement, but for a small school like Aldenham it is most definitely a remarkable feat for the boys and all those who have coached them to success.
At the end of March the Year 8 team retained the Under 13 County Cup trophy with a 3-1 win over Kings Langley School. The following day it was the Year 7 team's chance to win the Under 12 trophy for the second year running. Like the Year 8s they scored early to settle nerves and went onto win comprehensively, playing some outstanding football in a 5-1 win against fellow Brewers' school, Dame Alice Owen.
Mr Grant Cornock, Master in charge of Football at Aldenham, said: "It certainly is a remarkable achievement for the boys. We were pleased to win one cup last season, but to win 3 this time has surpassed all expectations. All the credit must go to the boys for their hard work and dedication throughout the season."
Aldenham School's Head Boy, Subhan Iqbal, and Head Girl, Sarah Dean, proved to be excellent ambassadors for the School when they attended a Reception to mark the
election of the Prince of Wales as a liveryman of the Brewers' Company. The Prince was certainly keen to know that they were keeping up with their A Level revision despite a hectic set of formal duties, and showed great interest in all they are achieving at the School.
The historical links between Aldenham and the Worshipful Company of Brewers date back over 400 years. Every year pupils from Year 9 are given 'Beer Money' from the Master of the Brewers' Company in the form of a commemorative silver crown at a Beer Money Ceremony at Brewers' Hall in the City of London to symbolise this connection. According to the terms of the will of Master Brewer and founder of the School, Richard Platt, the Brewers' Company supported pupils in money and kind. In 1597 when the School was founded, it was much safer to drink beer as the water was foul and dangerous to drink.
According to Subhan any nerves they may have had quickly disappeared as Prince Charles put them at ease straight away when he asked them about sport and music at the School. Subhan went on to say that it had been "an incredible, once in a lifetime experience and one I will never forget." Sarah added that the 5-minute chat was quite surreal and she will always cherish the commemorative glass they were both given as a reminder of the visit.
Aldenham School was honoured to host the US Ambassador to the UK for a talk to Les Philosophes which will go down in the memory
of all those lucky to be in attendance. Ambassador Matthew Barzun led an extremely thought-provoking session covering everything from the US-UK special relationship to US gun control laws and of course the hot topic of the 2016 US Presidential Election.
Instead of delivering a lecture, the Ambassador announced he wanted to listen to the audience's views about certain topics. By asking targeted questions such as 'Does America do enough to promote security in the world?' and 'What foreign policy issue most worries you?' he was able to gauge the opinion of the room using polling technology that showed the results instantaneously. Using these results the discussion focused on key issues facing America and the UK in an insightful and engaging manner which the students hugely enjoyed and responded to.
Pupils invited from Years 9-13 were able to share their views about America's issues and successes while showing a knowledge and interest in politics which hugely impressed Ambassador Barzun. The visit will no doubt be seen as one of the highlights of the school year by everyone present and will inspire those in attendance to think about the world, and America especially, in a fresh light.
The school are extremely grateful to the Ambassador and the US Embassy for all their work and no doubt the Politics Department will be referring to this session for years to come.
Headmaster James Fowler commented on the visit: "We were privileged that the Ambassador was able to join us and was so keen to hear the views of our youngsters on Anglo-US relations which he will be passing on to President Obama."
Our link with the East African charity Ripple Africa continues with another group of students and teachers volunteering again this summer for a 3-week visit.
The thirteen Year 12 pupils showed good spirit from the very start of the trip as they initially made their way to South Luangwa National Park in Zambia for a safari experience, giving them a chance to acclimatise and enjoy seeing some of the animals up close. The group were fortunate to witness some very special moments watching the various animals in a natural setting, including lions, elephants and leopards.
Then it was off to Malawi for two weeks of hard work, interacting with local Malawians and learning about life in one of the world's poorest countries. Aldenham is lucky to be the only school group to be able to go and work alongside Ripple Africa, as past pupil Geoff Furber and his wife Liz, the charity's founders, kindly extend an invitation to Aldenham pupils each year.
The students showed a great deal of sensitivity towards the local people and a genuine interest in learning about their culture and way of life as they tackled every task given to them with enthusiasm. Right from the first night when the pupils joined in with the local choir's traditional songs and dances with such delight and willingness, it was clear that this group would truly represent the best of the Aldenham spirit.
As the days continued, the pupils put their hand to anything and everything! This included tree-tending, potting and mud brick making at Ripple Africa's headquarters; moving heavy loads of sand and bricks at Kapanda secondary school for the building of the kitchen and toilet block for the new girls' dormitory building; painting beautiful numbers, letters and murals on the wall of Mwaya Pre-School; Cassava farming and building 'changu changu moto' fuel efficient stoves in the homes of local people, to name but a few. It was certainly an active programme.
Pupils took an active role in lessons at all phases of education, from pre-school through to secondary school. Our students gained an understanding of how different schooling in Malawi is, with limited resources, equipment and large classes, usually up to or over 100 pupils!
A big Thank You goes out to the wonderful people at Ripple Africa and also to the whole Aldenham community for providing equipment to be sent out to Malawi, attending fundraising events or helping in any way.
On Thursday June 4th Aldenham School had the honour of Kevin Pietersen and Chris Gayle playing on the 1st XI Cricket Ground. The two cricketing
legends were filming a promotional video to advertise the forthcoming Caribbean T20 Tournament. They were involved in two competitions, the first being who could hit the biggest six and the second was to see if they could hit a moving drone that was recording the action. Kevin Pietersen arrived first and strolled out to the crease. He managed a powerful 117metres, slightly into the wind. The bowling machine was set at 63mph and it was amazing to see how cleanly he could strike the ball. Chris Gayle was next to perform and after a while, with just two balls remaining Gayle managed to beat KP by just one metre. Thus the current School record for six hitting is held by Chris Gayle at 118m. Both players were less successful at hitting the drone as this is a skill that they had never come across before! With some intervention from Jack Gibbins (last year's 1st XI Captain) eventually Chris Gayle also won that competition with a direct hit from about 10 yards! Once both players had finished their interviews and photo shoots they were happy to meet staff and boys and signed some memorabilia for the school to display in the future.
It was an incredible day and a complete honour for the School to host two such superstars and everyone in attendance had a day that they will remember for the rest of their lives.
A Sea King search and rescue helicopter made a flying visit to Aldenham School this week and landed on the playing fields in front of
an appreciative audience of St Hilda's and Aldenham Prep pupils. The windswept children cheered when the helicopter hovered noisily in front of them as it lowered itself into position.
The helicopter was flown all the way from Culdrose in Cornwall by its squadron of five Royal Naval officers, especially to raise awareness and to share the officers' personal experiences of life as a search and rescue pilot and crew. Culdrose is just one of two Royal Navy bases of its kind in the country, and together with its partner base in Scotland, saves hundreds of lives every year as they roam large stretches of the English coastline. Their rescue missions often take place at night-time in pitch black darkness amidst violent weather conditions. The officers take it in turn to be on call twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
The children were invited to explore the helicopter in small class groups and quizzed the officers enthusiastically. The pupils, aged between four and eleven, were struck by the technology of the cockpit, with one remarking that they were: "So clever to memorise all those buttons. I thought there would be one big red button that said 'go'!" One pupil giggled as she almost fell backwards trying on an officer's heavy helmet. But one thing they all unanimously agreed upon was that it was an 'opportunity of a lifetime' and that the officers were 'very brave'.
Miss Styles, Head of St Hilda's, who organised the visit, said, "I am so grateful to 771 Royal Naval Air Squadron for their time in visiting the school. I believe that education is so much more than sitting in a classroom and this visit will teach the children about the vital roles that different people play within society. Some of the younger children were initially a little nervous to approach the helicopter after its dramatic landing, but I believe it is entirely positive to encourage children to step out of their comfort zone. " Miss Styles, who joined St Hilda's in January, is a formal Royal Naval Officer herself, and retains close links with the Navy as a member of the Royal Naval Reserves.
St Hilda's and Aldenham Prep are part of the Aldenham Foundation of Schools, which was established in 2011. Head of the Foundation, James Fowler, said "It was great that so many of the younger children in the 900-strong Aldenham Foundation were able to enjoy this wonderful experience."
Aldenham School raised over £13,500 for the victims of typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines by holding a 24 hour Play-In on 21st and
22nd November.
This impromptu and memorable event was the joint initiative of the Director of Music John Wyatt and Head of Geography, Mike Yeabsley. At short notice John pulled together musicians from across the Aldenham Foundation including current and former pupils, parents and staff who played and sang continuously from 4.30pm on Thursday afternoon until 4.30pm on Friday. The extravaganza included soloists, rock bands, ensembles and choirs.
There were many outstanding performances from students including those who bravely stepped in to fill any gaps during the night so that there was never a lull. Louis Slater and the rock band got the event off to a fantastic start and it stayed upbeat throughout the 24 hours. Jon Richard played ? beautifully on the flute, Abi James mesmerised the audience with her astonishing violin playing, Chris Milligan tickled the ivories on a number of occasions, Asher Mohr ?? For those who were present, the singing of Les Miserables at 2.00am was truly uplifting. One particular highlight of this fantastic event was a brass master-class and trumpet recital by John MacDominic, a freelance musician who has performed with many of the country's leading orchestras. There was also a choral performance at midnight to mark the exact centenary of the birth of Benjamin Britten and a very moving performance by professional harpist Lucy Hasler to restart the School day on Friday. Throughout the day there were lots of wonderful performances by the Senior School students as well as Aldenham's Nursery and Prep School children. Girls from St Hilda's Bushey also joined in the lunch period performance.
The culmination was an extremely powerful service in the School Chapel where the 560 students in the Senior School sang 'Amazing Grace' and prayed for the people from The Philippines
Headmaster Mr James Fowler said: "It has been an astonishing day and night which reflects extremely well on the whole Aldenham community. And most importantly, due to the magnificent generosity of so many people, we have generated a tremendous sum for the Philippines Typhoon Appeal."

Celebrations are the order of the day for staff and pupils at Aldenham School in Elstree, having gained the top ISI grade – excellent –
in every single category. This follows an integrated inspection of both the Senior and the Prep School by the Independent Schools Inspectorate which was published in December 2012. The Report commends both areas of the School for enabling pupils to reach their full potential in all aspects of their lives; highlighting the excellent start to children in the Early Years Foundation Stage, through to "the excellent academic achievement and outstanding levels of personal development" enjoyed by all pupils in the School so that they attain "the character and skills to meet the challenges of life beyond school, exemplified by high levels of self-confidence and mutual respect."
The team of eleven Inspectors recognised the great strengths of the whole School, highlighting in particular the atmosphere of mutual respect and understanding between teachers and pupils. The School was also praised for its outstanding links with parents and the wider community. The effective learning in the Prep School fulfils its aims outstandingly well to stand its pupils in good stead as they prepare to move to the next stage in their schooling.
The Head of the Prep School, Mrs Vicky Gocher expressed her delight with the findings of the report: "Parents and pupils should be very happy to know that children here are receiving the best possible start to developing their abilities and talents over a wide spectrum."
Mr James Fowler, Headmaster at Aldenham added: "Following 'Excellent' ISI reports in 2009, one for Boarding and one for all areas of education in the Foundation Stage, I am delighted that this latest ISI report reflects the remarkable opportunities that exist for both boys and girls from ages 3 to 18 in all sections of the school. It is very reassuring that the Inspection found that the committed and supportive teaching at Aldenham is of high quality which encourages pupils to develop all their talents and abilities to the full. This achievement reflects the original hope of our Founder, Richard Platt, that an Aldenham education offers an outstanding experience in a particularly special setting."
To view a full copy of the Report, visit the School's website, www.aldenham.com. The next Open Day at Aldenham will be on Saturday 15th June, please telephone 01923 858122 for further details.
A new Sixth Form Centre at Aldenham School with enhanced teaching classrooms plus a major extension to the Music School was officially opened on 14th
September by Mr John Wells, a former Chairman of Governors and past Master of the Worshipful Company of Brewers after whom the building is named.
The current Chairman of Governors, Mr Stuart Lewis invited Mr Wells to unveil a plaque commemorating the occasion. Guests were then taken on tours of The Wells Centre by senior pupils before enjoying a music recital given by current and former pupils followed by a drinks reception.
On the site of the old Sixth Form Common Room and School Shop, this magnificent new building and sensitive conversion provides state of the art equipment with facilities for both recreation and study. A key feature of the new building is a green oak frame which unifies the older existing and new modern structures. A glass roof with integral solar panels sets off an upstairs foyer area.
Students will benefit from new Music Technology and Psychology classrooms and the whole school and wider community will enjoy meetings in The Apthorp Room as well as concerts in the Recital Room.
Headmaster, Mr James Fowler said: "I am delighted that this major development in the School will support not only our Sixth Form students but also further enhance the considerable music facilities for our talented musicians at Aldenham. This follows a number of recent developments including a new classroom block for English and Modern Languages, a Theatre development and boarding House upgrades as well as new kitchen and servery facilities for all pupils. These advances leave the School very well equipped to provide for greater opportunities for our boys and girls from 3-18 years on the same site."
A sunny day saw the opening of a brand new school sports field in Elstree. Over 3.5 acres in size, the new field at Aldenham
Prep School is a wonderful facility for all the children.
The official opening of 'Button Field' was part of a whole Prep School Sports Day where children from Nursery to Year 6 took part in numerous activities and races. The day also included a family lunchtime picnic attended by many parents.
Mrs Gocher, Head of Aldenham Prep School, said "It is wonderful to have all this amazing space for the children to enjoy. Sport is integral to a child's education not only for their physical well being but for skills such as teamwork and commitment."
Officially opened by Mr Martin Thomas, Governor of Aldenham School, the field has been named in memory of Dr Button, chair of the School Governors between 1990 and 1995.
During his speech Mr Thomas spoke of Dr Button's dedication and drive playing a vital part in making Aldenham the school it is today and that this new school facility was a fitting tribute to him.

Blue Hen Mall Cinema
655 S. Bay Road,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Built in 1971 as a shopping center showplace by Schwartz Theatres of Dover, Delaware, the Blue Hen Mall Cinema had a giant 60' screen and stadium seating. There were about 200 seats on the main floor and the other 1,000 were all stadium. It had a cry room as well as a seperate deluxe skybox seating (with bar) for special customers. The cry room and skybox had special piped in sound with its own amplicification.
The Blue Hen Mall itself was passed by when the interstate moved. Competition from the better located Dover Mall eventually forced the entire Blue Hen Mall itself to be converted into office space.
The theater stopped showing movies in the early-1980's after the Schwartz chain was sold to Fox Theatres of Reading, Pennsylvania. The theater itself is still intact and is used sporadically for concerts (usually county and western).

This theatre was actually built and known formally as the Dover Cinema but more popularly referred to as the Dover Cinema at the Blue Hen Mall or the Blue Hen Mall Cinema.
Story and photo link here:
if you go to the Mall and look at the sign closely , you will notice the concert hall sign is painted over the original Dover Cinema sign. I talked to a gentleman the other day and he said that a church is possibly renting the theater for their church. no more news as of now.
Why is itcalled Blue Hen, hens aren't blue!?

The Interior of Alkmaar Church 1851 - 1891
Not on display
This shows the view from the interior (south transept looking towards west) of the St Laurens or Grote Kerk in Alkmaar, which Bosboom painted on numerous occasions. Bosboom's wife was from Alkmaar. He met her in 1846 and they married in 1851. This picture was owned by Timon Henricus Blom Coster (1817-1904), an art collector and physician. Coster was born in Alkmaar and may have acquired the picture because of this association. He also owned works by Anton Mauve, Jacob and Willem Maris, Charles-François Daubigny and Jules Dupré.

Lady Elizabeth Sarah Lavinia McCorquodale (née Spencer; born 19 March 1955)[1] is the eldest sister of Diana, Princess of Wales.
Early life[edit]
Sarah was born The Honourable Elizabeth Sarah Lavinia Spencer; she acquired the courtesy title The Lady Elizabeth Sarah Lavinia Spencer in 1975, when her grandfather died and her father became the 8th Earl Spencer. She suffered from the eating disorder anorexia nervosa in her early twenties.[2] She was educated firstly at Riddlesworth Hall School in Norfolk and secondly at West Heath boarding school near Sevenoaks in Kent. After passing O Level exams she left West Heath to work in London.
Sarah married Neil Edmund McCorquodale (born 1951), son of Alastair McCorquodale and Rosemary Sybil Turnor, on 17 May 1980 in Northamptonshire, England.[3] Neil McCorquodale is a 2nd cousin once removed of Lady Sarah's stepmother, Raine Spencer.
Neil and Lady Sarah McCorquodale have three children;[4]
- Emily Jane (born 2 July 1983)
- George Edmund (born 17 Novembr 1984)
- Celia Rose (born 1989).
Emily was discovered to be suffering from plasmacytoma, a form of cancer which usually affects the elderly, after she fell ill in 2003.[5] She was given radiotherapy treatment at Nottingham Hospital for several tumours close to her spine.[5] She married James Hutt on 9 June 2012 and they have two children;
- Isabella Rosemary Hutt (born 18 June 2014)
- Henry George Thomas Hutt (born 25 March 2016).
Lady Sarah was accompanied by her husband and their children to the service of thanksgiving for the life of Diana at Westminster Abbey on 6 September 1997. Sarah was a lover of Charles, Prince of Wales, prior to his marriage to her younger sister Diana.[6] She later commented on her sister's marriage saying: "I introduced them. I'm Cupid."[7]
She and her family reside near Grantham, Lincolnshire where she served a one-year term as High Sheriff of Lincolnshire in 2009, the unpaid enforcer of the Queen's writ in the county.[8][9] She became a master of the Belvoir Hunt in May 2010.[9] She has been a member of the hunt for many years.[9] Lady Sarah was also president of the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund.[10][11] Since the death of her sister Diana, Lady Sarah had to spend much of her time fretting over the accounts of the charity that was set up in the Princess' memory. It had raised an astonishing £100 million for good causes, however it attracted controversy with its legal actions to protect the princess' copyright, including a disastrous case against the Franklin Mint.[10] The Fund closed at the end of 2012.[12]
Diana, Princess of Wales[edit]
In 1977, Sarah's relationship with Prince Charles led to the first meeting between Diana and her future husband. During the period in which she dated the prince, she allegedly met two reporters, James Whittaker and Nigel Nelson, at a restaurant and gave them an exclusive report on her royal connection.[13] She is said to have admitted to having been diagnosed with anorexia, having "thousands of boyfriends", a past problem involving alcohol, and that she had started keeping a scrapbook of all the press clippings about her royal romance that she intended to "show" future grandchildren. "Her head seemed to be turned by the publicity", the two reporters later said. She also declared that she would not marry Charles "if he were the dustman or the King of England".[13] When the article was released, she showed it to the prince, which made him furious[13] and he replied, "You've just done something incredibly stupid". The relationship dissolved soon after that. Some have stated the relationship between her and Diana was strained, because of her long resentment of the Prince marrying Diana and not her, though others (including Diana's biographer Andrew Morton) have said she was one of the few people Diana trusted. Later in Diana's life, she often accompanied Diana on official visits as one of her ladies-in-waiting.[14] Lady Sarah was also in regular contact with Diana immediately before her death and talked to her the day before she was killed.[15]
Upon the death of Diana on 31 August 1997, Sarah flew to Paris with her younger sister, Jane, and Prince Charles to accompany Diana's body back to England. She contributed to the readings at Diana's funeral. She was co-executor of Diana's will and was president of the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund.[3] Sarah also attended the wedding of her nephew Prince William to Catherine Middleton on 29 April 2011. It is said that William and Catherine are close to Lady Sarah, with whom they spent a weekend on the 16th anniversary of Diana's death.[16]
It was later revealed that Lady Sarah had offered Paul Burrell, the butler to Diana, anything he wanted from Diana's possessions which he refused.[15] However Burrell was seen by a policeman loading his car with Diana's possessions at on a day after she died. According to Sarah they were "only the clothes she had been wearing on the night she was killed".[15] She said after her sister died she had shredded some of her letters and took some personal clothing home.[15]
Other siblings[edit]
Sarah has shared a lifelong close relationship with her younger sister Jane. Author Anne Edwards, who wrote a best selling biography on the life of Diana, said Diana's two older sisters were extremely close and loyal to each other. Sarah gave her first child, Emily, the middle name of 'Jane' in a tribute to her younger sister. Her relationship with younger brother Earl Spencer has been volatile at the best of times. As the eldest and the youngest of the Spencer children, they have clashed frequently in adulthood and childhood. In recent years, possibly due to the death of their sister, the siblings appear to have settled previous differences.

With the NBA Draft only a day away, I figured I may as well present only ONE mock draft of the 1st round. Last year, my 2011 NBA mock drafts did not pan out as well as I would have hoped. Regardless of my poor NBA mock draft history, I have listed why each of these picks for each team would make sense. I am posting this on the current draft order as of 6 P.M. on Wednesday night, 24 hours before the 2012 NBA Draft kicks off.
Therefore, here are my final 15 mock draft selections for Thursday's NBA Draft, enjoy!
16. Houston Rockets (via Knicks): F Terrence Jones, Kentucky
Although it sounds like the Rockets may trade this pick away for something bigger, the Rockets could use a true combo forward like Terrence Jones. Jones, a national champion at Kentucky this past season, decided to stay an additional year in school, and really improved between his freshman and sophomore seasons. Jones is an aggressive basketball player who plays hard on both ends of the floor, while also exhibiting premiere athleticism for a player as big him. Read More…

Youth teams do their part to try to give back to the community
MARTINS FERRY – Playing baseball and learning about giving back.
What could be better for two Pinto All-Star Teams on a gorgeous Monday evening.
Martins Ferry and St. Clairsville experienced the best of both worlds during an impromptu meeting between the two squads, which were wrapping up their seasons.
All of the $420 raised from the game, which was well attended, will be donated to the Tri-County Woman's Help Center.
When Kroll first approached St. Clairsville about taking part, he thought if there was a player or family on either team that needed some help.
"We thought there might be a family that we could donate to, to help offset medical bills or something like that, but thankfully, no one needed that," Kroll said. "St. Clairsville's coaches and team were on board with the idea immediately."
After throwing around a few ideas, Kroll and St. C. coach Dave Hoffman settled on the Tri-County Women's Help Center.
"I was all in on that because anything we can do to help people, we're all for it," Kroll said. "We tried our best to keep our costs at a minimum as best we could, so we can turn over a decent amount of money. It went over really well. We're happy with how it's gone."
Along with the six-inning game, the players also had a home run derby and a throwing competition from the outfield to home plate.
Most importantly, however, the players learned about giving back.
"Some of these kids, at this age, might not fully understand the benefits of giving back or what exactly they're doing this for, but you're never too young to start to learn about helping people," Kroll said.
Kroll made sure he and his assistant coaches talked to their players about what exactly they were playing this game for.
Obviously, both teams wanted to win, but in the grand scheme of things the outcome was relatively meaningless because both teams, and the Tri-County Women's Help Center, were winners.
"The kids were excited to play another game, but they were also happy to help people, which makes us as coaches and parents feel really good," Kroll said.
Kroll hopes to make the charity game an annual event.
"I'm not sure if we'll keep it a Pinto thing for those teams or continue to play against this group of kids up through the ranks," Kroll said. "Either way, it's something we'll definitely continue."

The 26-year-old Chipchura has played five seasons in the NHL with Montreal, Anaheim and Phoenix, compiling 13 goals and 31 assists in 216 games.

I bought this as it looked incredibly comfy so was dismayed that Susie the cat ignored this bed for the first 10 days after we brought her home from the rescue centre I would pop her in it but she would jump straight out and not go near it of her own accord So I took the cushion insert out sat on it myself to make it smell familiar then let her investigate it and sure enough she was curled up asleep in 5 minutes A couple of days later I put the cushion back in the bed and shes enjoyed sleeping in it ever since Its quite a large bed because of the thick walls all the way around but for a mediumsized cat its a good size with enough room for her to stretch out a paw or two in her sleep

Recent research examining the link between companies' governance, disclosure practices and equity market transparency has produced some surprising results.
The study looked at over 5,000 listed companies in 23 countries. As might be expected, better-governed companies were found to make more frequent disclosures to the market. But the surprise lies in the finding that better corporate governance was associated with the less timely reaction of share prices. The researchers concluded that, even if information is disclosed more frequently, it does not necessarily follow that that information is reflected in share prices on a more timely basis: 'We think people are shocked by the amount of information produced and they just can't process it. It looks like a case of information overload.'
Professionals and corporate governance experts would welcome further analysis of the study findings. 'There are so many things going on in a market that it's difficult to isolate any specific factor as affecting the share price,' says Hilary Eastman, head of global investor engagement at PwC. She also points out that the period covered by the study – 1 January 2003 to 31 December 2008 – includes the start of the global financial crisis, when trust in the market collapsed. 'So analysis of that period is difficult,' she says.
Mala Shah-Coulon, executive director and corporate governance specialist at EY, agrees. 'A lot has happened since then,' she says, noting that in the UK, for example, 2007 saw the introduction of the disclosure and transparency rules, including the requirement for listed companies to issue interim management statements – an element that is no longer in force. 'We've also had several revisions to the corporate governance code,' Shah-Coulon says. 'A lot has changed.'
Nevertheless, the research fuels the debate about the challenges of information overload and the responsibilities of companies and investors to manage information flows so as to support efficient markets.
One of the challenges in digesting corporate information is that it can all seem to come at once. 'In the UK we have tended to default to a reporting year-end of 31 December,' says Guy Jubb, global head of governance and stewardship at Standard Life Investments. 'Many annual reports arrive in a short space of time, so we have an information logjam.' He refers to the enhanced auditor reports introduced in the UK, highlighting key audit risks and conclusions. 'There's a significant risk that they don't get read in the manner that was intended,' Jubb says. 'Timely scrutiny is challenging to achieve.'
One problem in addressing information overload is that investors are a disparate group, so disclosure reduction is difficult. 'Different investors or analysts play different roles in the investment chain, and they all have different information needs,' Eastman says. 'You might cut out something not relevant to one party that is very relevant to someone else. I know forensic analysts who read the annual report from cover to cover and dissect every word. Those are the people that usually uncover fraudulent accounting practices, so you don't want to take information away from them.'
Another challenge is that some listing rules and regulations may require the reporting of potentially immaterial information. 'Timely disclosure of price-sensitive information has been one of the cornerstones of the London Stock Exchange listing rules,' Jubb notes. 'That needs to be upheld, but it's a moot point these days as to whether all the information that gets disclosed is price-sensitive. In a takeover situation, for example, we get a never-ending stream of disclosures when investors have changed their positions by relatively small amounts. Do they make any difference? There perhaps needs to be a greater sense of the materiality and relevance of the information.'
Investors' responsibilities
'Part of the problem is that investors are investing in so many companies,' says Andrew Hobbs, partner, public policy and corporate governance, at EY. 'They have too much waterfront to cover. That's why proxies are used so much. The investors we talk to are always looking for flags – for the auditors or preparers to disclose information in a way that flags up issues for them on the governance side. They don't have the bandwidth to be investigating things themselves. But it takes two to tango. You can't constantly ask companies to keep on making up for their [investors'] shortfalls. They need to invest in resources as well.'
George Dallas, policy director at the International Corporate Governance Network, says: 'The issue of how investors are resourced to look after governance and stewardship is key. They probably are under-resourced – particularly institutions with hundreds if not thousands of holdings. How do you look after all these companies? It doesn't mean companies should be let off disclosing material aspects about their businesses, but there is also a responsibility on investors. Some will subscribe to service providers that highlight anomalies, or they can develop other tactics that might be risk-based. If a problem does emerge, they then want to be able to go to a company's public disclosures and get a handle on what's happening that way.'
Investors' responsibility for monitoring company behaviour is increasingly recognised by the spread of stewardship codes – around 10 countries now have them. Dallas is working with the World Bank on a stewardship code in Kenya. 'They are popping up all over the place, recognising that investors have rights, but they have responsibilities as well,' he says. 'They're part of the equation in terms of what good governance looks like.'
How often?
Information overload could be partly caused by reporting being too frequent, which is also thought by some to encourage a short-term outlook among companies and investors. Debate about the pros and cons of quarterly reporting has been under way in Europe for some time. 'Quarterly reporting can create a lot of noise in the short term that isn't relevant for the long term,' says Jubb. UK-listed insurer Legal and General announced last month that it is to stop quarterly reporting.
Dallas supports coupling six-monthly disclosure with the principle of fair and continuous disclosure, so that if something significant happens outside of reporting cycles it is disclosed to everyone at the same time. 'That's probably getting the right balance between having a regular reporting cycle that's not as short-term as it could be, and ensuring that events or actions that pass the materiality test are disclosed even if ahead of the end of the six-monthly period,' he says.
Eastman, however, finds that investors express a range of views: some want quarterly information, others don't. Those that do perhaps have less trust in management and are looking for 'an early indication of something going wrong that they need to know about', she says.
There is little expectation that the US Securities and Exchange Commission will remove quarterly reporting requirements any time soon. That said, if a move away from quarterly reporting in UK and European markets results in fewer short-term swings in share prices, that might strengthen the argument for SEC action.
In the meantime, it may be that the need for comparability with US companies (or others in markets that require quarterly reporting) creates pressure for companies to report equally frequently on a voluntary basis, even if they are not required to do so.
'If you are a sell-side analyst or a fund manager in New York following the global auto sector, you'll have US and perhaps Japanese companies publishing quarterly,' Eastman says. 'You'll have to be really engaging with UK companies [that don't report quarterly] so you trust them and don't worry there's something you're missing – or those companies could end up getting penalised. It will be interesting to see what happens to companies that are part of global portfolios.'
Effective communication
'Any form of communication, whether the annual report or a trading update, has to be fair and balanced,' says Shah-Coulon. 'Companies need to give the reader a good sense of how the business is performing, and how risks might affect strategies or their achievement. It should place equal weight on good and bad news, and shouldn't have spin.'

Covers & Bags
|Protect your investment and competitive advantage with Laser covers and bags. Padded blade bags prevent damage to your dinghy foils while deck, hull, and spar covers keep your boat and rig looking their best.
Top & Bottom Laser Covers
Standard use hull and deck covers come in three types of material. Sunbrella which is acrylic and holds up to the sun's UV well, breathes well, but is generally recommended for storage covers only, as the material does not hold up well to the abrasion caused from trailering or car topping. TopGun which is a polyester material that breaths, holds up well to UV is abrasion resistant and is generally the best all-around choice. The third material family is one of various economy materials which are good and save you money, but may not perform as well as other choices.
Full Boat Cover
The all-in one full zip cover is great for total boat protection, but does not give you the option to remove just the top cover and rig your boat on the dolly with the bottom cover on only, or just cover the deck (and your gear in the cockpit) overnight on a dolly with the bottom cover off during a multi-day regatta.
Laser Blade Bags
All blade bags are foam padded and have separate internal sleeves for you rudder and daggerboard, a sleeve for your tiller & extension and an outside storage pocked for rigging. We have different club/economy blade bags which are sufficient for general protection and transport whether racing or sailing recreationally. The pro type bags offer better materials, padding and internal access. Plus the outside pocket is much, much larger and can even hold a folded sail.
Laser Spar Bags
The APS Pro bag is an easy way to transport your mast with the sail attached and rolled (battens removed) with your boom too. Spar bags come in basic zip nylon (one compartment) or 3-poart sleeved versions to keep spars from dining one another. All are a good way to protect your spars from the elements and keep they clean while transporting.
Laser Step Savers
This is inserted into your mast stop during winter storage and displaced any water that might have gotten in from collecting and freezing in the mast step tube. Water that freezes (and expands) in the mast stop tube can cause permanent damage that leads to catastrophic mast step failure.
Foil Protectors
These are plastic sleeves with a slit/opening running up one edge. Slide them over and on to the trailing edge of your rudder and daggerboard for additional 'ding' protection while transporting your blades in a blade bag.

Hudson's Bay 6 Point Blanket
Manufacturer: Hudsons Bay Blankets
Legendary blankets that set the standard by which all others are measured
In the late 1700s, wool blankets were so important to comfort and survival that they were used as a form of currency in trading between trappers and Native Americans. Beaver pelts were exchanged for blankets through the Hudson's Bay Company and its outposts throughout Northern Canada.
Hudson's Bay Point Blankets retain the authentic 100% wool quality that has made these blankets legendary. Like those sold in the 18th century, today's blankets are made in England with wool blended from sources in England, Wales, New Zealand, and India. Each type of wool is selected for qualities that help create a water-resistant, soft, warm, and strong final product. The wool is dyed before it is spun and then air- and sun-dried to brighten the colors. These blankets warm the interior of any home, cabin, or cottage. They will keep you and your guests warm and cozy on the coldest nights, just like they've kept generations of trappers, hunters, fur traders, and Native Americans warm and comfortable. 100% wool. 72" x 90".

Cartoon bear's 'asylum stories' spark debate
TT/The Local/dl · 18 May 2011, 17:15
Published: 18 May 2011 17:15 GMT+02:00
In November of last year, the Swedish Migration Board (Migrationsverket) announced plans to enlist Bamse, "the world's strongest bear", as part of an information campaign aimed at asylum seeking children in Sweden.
However, the special edition of the Bamse comic book has sparked a storm of criticism, with detractors alleging in internet debates and on social media sites that Bamse has "sold his soul" and that the story is "airbrushed reality".
In the Helsingborgs Dagblad (HD) newspaper, culture reporter Mattias Elftorp writes in an opinion article entitled "The world's dumbest bear" about one of the special editions in which an asylum seeking wolf who has his application rejected is met by happy family members upon returning to his homeland.
"In the last frame, the whole family is happy and it's hard to miss the message: it's probably better in the end to be sent home than to get asylum and no harm will come to those who the Migration Board has decided don't have grounds for asylum," writes Elftorp.
In another one of the special Bamse editions, Skalman the turtle tells asylum seeking children what to do when they get a stomach ache due to concerns about the asylum process.
"The cure is to go to school, play outside, and meet friends, as if the problem was a lack of fresh air for these children and not a threatening situation in their life," writes HD.
The Migration Board had intended the special editions of Bamse to allow "adults close to the children to explain the asylum process with help" from the comic book.
The comic books, which are aimed at children ages 5 to 12, were produced in cooperation with publisher Egmont Kärnan and translated into five different languages.
A number of refugee aid organisations and agencies were also involved with the comic books' production.
Ola Andreasson, head of Bamseförlaget, the company that owns the Bamse trademark, and son of Bamse creator Rune Andreasson, doesn't understand the criticism directed at the special editions of Bamse.
"In the story, one of the children stays while the others must return [to their homelands]. When you're talking about the asylum process with children, it's certainly appropriate to explain that this is how things can end up," he told media trade publication Dagens Media.
Speaking with the TT news agency, however, Andreasson also acknowledged that having Bamse illustrate the asylum process could be seen as a tacit support for Sweden's current asylum policies.
"Yes, it's clear it could be construed as such, but that's not something to fear, you can't stick your head in the sand," he said.
"I think it's right for Bamse to provide information about everything."
