Widow of 400lb man who died in NYPD chokehold says he wasn't a violent person
- Eric Garner, 43, died when police tried to arrest him over claims he was selling bootleg cigarettes
- Witnesses filmed as Garner shouted 'I can't breathe' before dying
- Two of the officers involved have been put on desk duty, one has had his gun and badge stripped
- Rev. Al Sharpton asked in a Sunday sermon 'Even if police procedure doesn't kick in, when does your sense of humanity kick in?'
The widow of a man who died in New York City police custody after apparently being placed in a chokehold says he wasn't violent.
Esaw Garner said Saturday that her husband, Eric Garner, 'was a quiet man, but he's making a lot of noise now.'
Members of Garner's family spoke at the Harlem headquarters of the Rev. Al Sharpton.
Comfort in death: Esaw Garner, right, is consoled by family members at the funeral for her husband, Eric Garner, at Bethel Baptist Church. Garner died in police custody after an officer placed him in an apparent chokehold
A quiet man: Esaw Garner said her husband was a quiet man but that 'he's making a lot of noise now'
Garner's mother, Gwen Carr, said she wants justice for her son.
Garner died last week as he was being arrested on suspicion of selling loose, untaxed cigarettes.
An amateur video shows a plainclothes officer placing Garner in what appears to be a chokehold. Garner gasped, 'I can't breathe!'
Autopsy results are pending further testing.
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder says the Justice Department is 'closely monitoring' the investigation into Garner's death.
Victim: Eric Garner, 43, died after being held in a 'chokehold' by NYPD officer Daniel Pantaleo in Staten Island. An initial report into his death has said he was 'not in great distress
NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton has since ordered all of the city's 35,000 officers to be retrained in how they use force following the death.
said Garner's death was 'very tragic' and ordered Deputy Commissioner
of Training Benjamin Tucker to conduct a 'top-to-bottom' review of
officers' training.
The commissioner, who met with FBI officials following Garner's death, said he anticipated a civil suit by the family and 'would not be surprised if the U.S. attorney 'decides to open a civil rights violation investigation.'
An initial report into Garner's death released earlier this week did not mention a chokehold, claiming he 'was not in great distress' and his health 'did not get worse' as he was held down.
The omission has sparked an angry reaction from City Hall, with state senator Bill Perkins shouting: 'This is murder' during a rally.
In the video of Garner's death, veteran officer Pantaleo waved to the camera as the father was taken away on a stretcher.
One of the witnesses asked, 'Why is nobody doing CPR?' an officer responded, 'Because he's breathing.'
Demanding action: NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton, pictured left with New York Mayor Bill de Blasio during a press conference this week, wants a 'top-to-bottom' review of how officers use force
Sergeant Dhanan Saminath said Garner was in handcuffs with officers 'maintaining control of him' according to the report.
It also suggests that he 'resisted arrest' and failed to 'obey instructions' as police tried to handcuff him.
However Sergeant Kizzy Adonis said she 'believed she heard the perpetrator state that he was having difficulty breathing'.
The New York City Medical Examiner's office has not yet been able to determine what killed Garner - whether he died from a chokehold or an underlying health issue.
Pantaleo, a plainclothes cop, has been forced to surrender his gun and badge and put on desk duty while the NYPD investigates the case.
Disturbing footage: The father passed out after being held down by police. Minutes later, Officer Pantaleo was caught waving to a woman recording the incident (right)
Treatment: A witness asked why no one was giving him CPR, to which officers respond 'because he is breathing'
It has also been revealed that he has seven civil rights lawsuit against him - including allegations of illegal strip searches and arresting men who were 'committing no crimes' at the time.
One resulted in the city paying $30,000 to two men who were unlawfully strip-searched. The other lawsuit, which is still pending, alleges an unlawful arrest.
Garner's grieving son, meanwhile, has called for the New York Police Department officer who was filmed putting his father in a chokehold to be arrested and thrown in jail.
This isn't the first time Pantaleo has been accused of abusing his police powers, the Staten Island Advance reports. The eight-year veteran officer has had two civil rights lawsuits filed against him.
The first was the result of a March 2012 traffic stop in which Darren Collins and Tommy Rice were arrested and then strip-searched in broad daylight on a Staten Island street.
Gwen, Mr Garner's mother, said she was glad the incident was recorded so police could not shy away from what happened.
Devastated: Mr Garner's mother, Gwen, said she is glad the incident was filmed so police could be held accountable for what happened

Destiny Church leader Brian Tamaki, MegaUpload founder Kim Dotcom, and former Pike River mine manager Peter Whittall have found themselves in the unenviable company of politicians in a list of people we trust least.
Brian Tamaki, self-appointed bishop of the Destiny Church, is New Zealand's least-trusted public figure in the annual Reader's Digest poll.
For close company he has Mana Party leader Hone Harawira, internet tycoon Dotcom, former justice minister and finance company director Sir Douglas Graham, NZ First leader Winston Peter, and former Whanganui mayor Michael Laws. Mr Whittall rounds out the bottom 10.
At the top end, it's just about all sport and apple pie as All Blacks captain Richie McCaw and food writer Alison Holst top the list of those in whom we have most faith.
Others we fancy include "Mad Butcher" Sir Peter Leitch, Sir John Kirwan, SAS Corporal Willie Apiata and Olympic gold medallist Peter Snell.
The most trusted politician, at No47, was Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker.
Those at the wrong end of the list included Prime Minister John Key (70) and Labour Party leader David Shearer (83).
Michael Laws, the lowest-ranked public figure who could be contacted yesterday, was delighted to make the list.
"I'm flattered to be there," he said.
"I can't believe I'm the 95th most-trusted person in New Zealand."
As in previous years, firefighters were the most trusted profession.
Least trusted were telemarketers, door-to-door salesmen and car salesmen.
The survey was done by first finding who had caught the public imagination and then asking 626 adults to rank them.
The most trusted:
Richie McCaw
Alison Holst
Peter Leitch
Willie Apiata
Peter Snell
The least trusted:
Brian Tamaki
Hone Harawira
Kim Dotcom
Douglas Graham
Winston Peters

For more than two hundred years, Christians, Jews and Muslims have lived and worked in close proximity in Spitalfields, east London. Dr Anne Kershen, of Queen Mary, University of London's Department of Politics, will chair a panel discussion next week with representatives of the three religions to discuss notions of identity and cultural and religious difference in the community.
Dr Kershen will chair the discussion on interfaith and tolerance between Rev Dr Kenneth Leech, Priest, writer and former theologian-in-residence at St Botolph's Aldgate in the East End; Imam Ajmal Masroor, leader of Friday prayers in four mosques across London and Member of the consultative body of the Islamic Society of Great Britain; and Rabbi Dr Jonathan Romain MBE, writer, broadcaster and minister of Maidenhead Synagogue in Berkshire.
The panel discussion will enable representatives of the three religions to express their opinions and answer questions on the way in which unity can evolve out of disunity, and how cultural and religious differences can be used to further understanding and co-operation in the 21st century.

Sony VAIO VGN-NR21Z/T notebook
Sony has been making notebooks since 1999 and until recently only played in the high-end market. Increasingly, the company is launching lower priced portables that meet the needs of the more mainstream audience.
The Sony VAIO VGN-NR21Z/T is a great example. It's not the most stylish of notebooks, being rather understated but the plastic chassis feels more than robust enough for carrying around. The palm rests and lid have a textured finish to them that give it a unique look.
Fitted with a 15.4-inch screen that comes with an X-black finish – this is Sony's name for a Super-TFT coating to make images look sharper and colours brighter. It certainly works, as we found our test DVD looked stunning on this machine. An Intel X3100 card supports the panel, which is integrated, so won't necessarily handle anything more than daily tasks.
The size of the screen limits the portability of the machine and with an overall weight of 2.9kg; you won't really want to carry this machine around all day. With a battery life of well over 3 hours, we were impressed at how well this machine coped with being away from mains power.
However, what really impresses with this machine is the keyboard. Large and well spaced, the keys have plenty of travel to them as you type and they feel reassuringly firm. Each key has a raised centre, so even if you are not the most confident of typists, you'll find it hard not to strike the right key.
It is not just the build that makes this Sony notebook a winner because when it comes to performance, this system really delivers. Powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo T8100, which runs at 2.1GHz, and fitted with 3072MB of memory, we found that applications loaded quickly and even running multiple tasks ran smoothly. The 250GB hard drive means you can store plenty of media files and is great value for the price.
Shipping with Windows Vista Home Premium Edition, we found the OS was a little slow to load but the overall performance of the system was acceptable.
If there is one area that disappoints it is in the connections Sony has opted to include. You won't find a webcam, which is rather commonplace these days and Bluetooth is lacking, so you won't be able to synchronise your mobile phone. More alarming is the choice of VGA-out port for connecting to external devices, as we were hoping for a digital port, either DVI-out or HDMI.
Sony has included support for the latest wireless LAN, as the Wi-Fi card supports 802.11n, while the fixed Ethernet is the standard 10/100 Base-T connection.
The Sony VAIO VGN-NR21Z/T is a great machine for anyone looking for a powerful notebook to replace your desktop PC. Sure, it lacks decent graphics and digital connections but for the asking price you get a great keyboard, screen and specification in return.

text: The best indigenous art from across Australia will be showcased at the National Gallery of Australia (NGA) next year, Director of NGA Ron Radford announced on Friday. NGA will have its second UnDisclosed Indigenous Art Triennial opened from May to July 2012. Carly Lane, a Kalkadoon woman from north Queensland, will curate the second exhibition. UnDisclosed, which will feature the work of 20 artists, will embark on a national tour after its time at the NGA. According to Franchesca Cubillo, senior curator at the gallery, the triennial gives the audience a better understanding of the diversity in contemporary Indigenous art. \"It is varied right across the nation and there are so many different voices and different stories and different histories that are put forward,\" she said in a statement. \"Sometimes those stories are quite old and ancient as in the Dreaming and sometimes they\'re very recent and political like the Palm Island riots.\" In 2007, the UnDisclosed Indigenous Art Triennial has attracted 260,000 visitors, toured nationally and was exhibited in Washington DC of U.S. in 2010.

Developers are continually upping the ante by creating better, smarter and more valuable apps. However, these apps also have increasingly sophisticated data requirements, and the ability to take them to the next level may be stymied by an archaic approach to databases in which developers are required to either make serious compromises about how they store and query their data, or learn to manage their own data infrastructure.
Increasingly sophisticated data requirements
Mobile apps, for instance, typically require a great deal of user-provided and contextual data to function, as compared to what a stationary computer would have collected 10 years ago. The data that's being collected is frequently well suited for a particular type of database, but a bad fit for another. While MongoDB, for example, handles most of what a mobile app requires, such as the geodata that a mobile device collects, other databases are well suited for tracking relationships between users (graphs) or time series data.
The difficulties of integrating multiple data streams
Not only do apps work better when they use a database that's appropriate for their specific requirement, but they get built faster. However, there are hundreds of different database engines available to developers, and going to production with the wrong one can be a costly mistake. For example, if they're creating a social app, they must consider the need to store user records, relationships between users, time series data, and connections between people. Games typically need to store some amount of social data, in addition to game state data, and many apps also need to store large binary files. Which database do you choose to work with? All of this can lead the developer to decision paralysis, which slows the development cycle.
Furthermore, going to production with a new database can be extremely difficult due to operational constraints. Most databases are difficult to "try out" and don't provide a one-click-to-production service that developers trust behind their apps. As developers are often constrained to the few databases supported by their organization, they may be tied to a specific type of database simply by virtue of the fact that they don't have the time to invest in managing another, even if it is more specific to their challenge.
Developers are hamstrung by the inability to use the latest and most effective tool to solve a problem, and too frequently "compromise" by using the wrong tool for the job. Problems associated with having the wrong database for a given problem don't always surface immediately, but when they do, the developer's hands are often tied. This can be particularly troublesome when it comes to app requirement changes. When a new feature has new data requirements, it introduces new problems, and often re-introduces old ones too.
Database-as-a-Service offers developers freedom
As Database-as-a-service gains steam - its market is predicted by MarketsandMarkets to reach $14B by 2019 - it offers to free developers' hands, allowing them to pick and choose databases for apps with the ease that one pulls a hammer or wrench from a toolbox.
Developers face some fairly common obstacles to adopting database-as-a-service, such as distrust of cloud and confidence in operational abilities, which is changing over time as everyone learns more about what to ask of a provider. Additionally, if DBaaS platforms can be tried out without an enormous commitment, this often gives the proponents a chance to show what they can accomplish without a huge cost or time commitment. When DBaaS becomes widely adopted, we'll begin to see tremendous advances in the functionality of apps.
The explosion of new web/cloud/IoT-based applications and the data they generate are transforming our world right before our eyes. In this rush to adopt these new technologies, organizations are often ignoring fundamental questions concerning who owns the data and failing to ask for permission to conduct invasive surveillance of their customers. Organizations that are not transparent about how their systems gather data telemetry without offering shared data ownership risk product rejection, regu...

DevOps is often described as a combination of technology and culture. Without both, DevOps isn't complete. However, applying the culture to outdated technology is a recipe for disaster; as response times grow and connections between teams are delayed by technology, the culture will die.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1: The weirdest tab accessory yet - a bike
When you buy a new tablet you have to consider which accessories you're going to need to fork out for too, to get the complete experience.
You'll probably need a case of some sort, to stop it getting damaged. A stand is a good idea if you want to use it on your desk. Bluetooth keyboards are also handy if you're planning on using your tab for a bit of office action.
What you probably haven't considered is a "custom made road bike and top of the range tablet holder".
But that's exactly what Samsung has on offer for owners of its Honeycomb boasting Galaxy Tab 10.1
"Demonstrating the Galaxy Tab 10.1's 'lighter for performance' ethos the Tab holder is designed by F1 manufacturers, is super light at 125g and is complete with a super strong premium finish," read the release statement.
"Accessible from the side, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 holder allows for the device to be used easily whilst on the move. Applications such as dashboards tracking mileage, route planners and repair instructions for punctures, can be downloaded from the Android Marketplace to enhance everyday cycling routes or more adventurous trips – a handy addition for any cyclist."
Yes, it really did say "on the move". Cycling and tableting on the go - it's a new one for us.
Don't get us wrong, we love the Galaxy Tab 10.1 as it's an awesome device. But we're not going to risk smashing the screen to smithereens by having it hanging from our bike's top tube.
But hey, everyone's different so if you are interested the bespoke Samsung Galaxy bike and Tab 10.1 holder can be made to order by 14 Bike Co.

Good news for Sarah Perry. My London book group is now reading The Essex Serpent to add to her sales among the metropolitan liberal elite. It's also been all over Waterstone's as the store's book of the year. Serpent is a great read and magically evokes the mysterious scenery of the Blackwater estuary, as well as containing the Colchester earthquake and some vivid writing on the Victorian conflict between science and religion. Check out Perry's recent interview in the Guardian too, where she reveals that the strain of writing and selling the novel might have given her the Gothic-sounding Graves' Disease (it affects the thyroid and leaves the sufferer exhausted). She says she lay in bed repeating every one star review on Amazon to herself, though she's certainly not had many of those and the critics' response has been overwhelmingly positive. Thankfully the Chelmsford-born Perry is now recovering from the worst effects of the disease and will hopefully be well enough to complete another book soon, because she's one of our most talented new authors.Pete Mayhttp://email@example.com://thejoyofessex.blogspot.com/2017/02/essex-serpents-and-graves-disease.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725774597699803499.post-72203878170529193962017-02-15T03:26:00.000-08:002017-02-15T07:01:21.663-08:00Prisoner Cell Block Essex

Picked up a copy of new! on the train the other day and it's interesting to note that two of the original female stars of Towie are dating what the magazine refers to as "jailbird lovers". Lauren Goodger has been on Loose Women to talk about her relationship with Joey Morrison, currently serving an 18-year prison sentence. While Amy Childs is having a baby with boyfriend Bradley Wright, who served six months for handling stolen goods. You do have to admire the ability of the women of Essex to see the good in everyone and there desire to reform recidivists. Who needs a probation service when you have Towie?Pete Mayhttp://email@example.com://thejoyofessex.blogspot.com/2017/02/prisoner-cell-block-essex.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725774597699803499.post-19498223757614742352017-02-10T08:56:00.000-08:002017-02-10T09:00:41.981-08:00Not with a bang but with a Wimpy

My pal John has just informed me that the Wimpy restaurant in Barking has just closed, marking the end of an era. For those who thought Wimpy bars died out in the 1970s. they've proved surprisingly resilient in Essex. Aficionados should note that the McDonalds-isation of fast food hasn't affected God's own county. Wimpys still stalk the county like throwback dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, living on in Billericay, Wickford, Basildon, Benfleet, Clacton, Colchester, Maldon, Rayleigh, Benfleet, Leigh, Westcliff-on-Sea, Grays and Southend.

An unlikely mention for Essex in Steve Jones' book Lonely Boy: Tales from a Sex Pistol. Talking about a possible future Sex Pistols tour (they reformed in 1996 and 2007) he writes: "People say 'Well the Rolling Stones are still doing it', but I don't think they would be on our money. Also their business doesn't have to be run in such way as to keep two imaginary c**ts in some East London council estate happy. I get that it's good to be the real deal when you're twenty, but when you get to be older things change. The two imaginary c**ts have probably sold their council flat and f**ked off to Essex by now, anyway."

Lonely Boy is well worth reading; a strange mixture of sadness, sleaze and humour from Jonesy who manages to write about getting sexually abused by his stepfather, compulsive thieving, alcoholism and heroin and sex addiction with candour and bluff humour. Very politically incorrect but a great read. And believe it or not Jonesy's now kicked all his addictions bar food and is into transcendental meditation in LA…Pete Mayhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com://thejoyofessex.blogspot.com/2017/01/god-save-essex-pistols.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725774597699803499.post-83322891484621910032016-12-14T07:59:00.003-08:002016-12-14T08:01:49.572-08:00Essex Hammers: Goodbye to Boleyn now out

Good review of Rachel Lichtenstein's new book Estuary: Out from London to the Sea in the Guardian. Lichtenstein's journey takes her down the Thames Estuary from Tower Bridge to Clacton on the Essex side and out to Whitstable on the Kent side. There's plenty of Essex interest here — ghosts under Southend pier, Canvey Island, Joseph Conrad, Thames barges, fishermen, mudlarks, divers, sea forts, wind farms, sunken ships full of munitions, China and clay pipes and the author capsizing in a dingy and breaking her hand, Click on the link to read the full review.Pete Mayhttp://email@example.com://thejoyofessex.blogspot.com/2016/11/estuary-english.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725774597699803499.post-9353265975599240242016-10-25T11:38:00.001-07:002016-10-25T11:47:42.171-07:00How many Essex girls does it take to saturate the media?

Something of an Essex Girl overload today. The Times has a full page feature ("The only way is out for Essex girl label") interviewing former Bloomberg workers Natasha Sawkins and Juliet Thomas, who started the petition on the Mother Hub website to have the words 'Essex girl' removed from the Oxford English Dictionary. They also have a hash tag campaign where successful women reclaim the phrase with #iamanessexgirl.

The Sun also covers the furore while the Evening Standard has a feature proclaiming "Essex girl campaigners win meeting with bosses of dictionary." The Victoria Derbyshire Show on BBC interviewed several Essex women talking about the petition while tomorrow's Guardian has a Pass Notes on Essex Girls. Meanwhile the publishers of the Oxford Dictionary thank the campaigners for their interest but say they can't exclude offensive terms. And rather ironically, the well-intentoned petition seems to have bought the phrase Essex girl right back into the public consciousness…Pete Mayhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com://thejoyofessex.blogspot.com/2016/10/how-many-essex-girls-does-it-take-to.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725774597699803499.post-65513522494178897442016-10-24T01:50:00.003-07:002016-10-25T07:00:10.504-07:00Should Essex Girl be removed from the Dictionary?

Interesting piece in inews reporting that 3000 people have signed a petition to have the term 'Essex Girl' removed from the Oxford English Dictionary. The petition was set up by campaign group the Mother Hub and objects to the dictionary definition of an Essex Girl as: "A type of young woman, supposedly to be found in and around Essex, and variously characterised as unintelligent, promiscuous, and materialistic."

They have a point, but after Towie and 25 years of usage they may find it difficult to achieve their aim. And there's a similar case for removing the words Essex Man from the dictionary, who is described as: "A new type of Conservative voter typically (esp. contemptuously) characterised as a brash, self-made young businessman who benefited from the entrepreneurial wealth created by Thatcherite policies."

As I mention in my book The Joy of Essex, in the first series of The Only Way Is Essex Sam Faiers and Amy Childs discuss the dictionary definition of Essex Girl over a large glass of Rose. Sam says that the word Essex Girl is "actually in the Dictionary." Amy asks if it means "glamorous… what it right slags us off… shu' up! You're having me on! I thought it meant like classy…" Sam replies, "It's like stilettoes and men." Amy then comments: "The person that's obviously done the Dictionary who is it? I'm being serious. Is he from Essex or is he from wherever, like the north or Manchester? If they were from Essex they wouldn't write that."

Amy is reputedly worth £5 million, which rather disproves the stereotype. Meanwhile the person that done the dictionary may be in for even more grief if the petition continues to grow.

I've always thought that Yorkshire and Essex have quite a lot in common. Both have very clear identities and pride themselves on telling it like it is and being slightly different to the rest of the country. So it's interesting that Wivenhoe-based author Anthony Clavane has just published A Yorkshire Tragedy, a book about the demise of several Yorksire sporting institutions since the 1980s. There's an Essex link too, for Clavane, a long-term Essex resident who is a sports writer for the Daily Mirror, has plenty of revelations about the impact Essex businessman Anton Johnson had on Rotherham.

The Guardian review of A Yorkshire Tragedy comments: "A tender and often terrifying tour of some of Yorkshire's — and England's — most cherished sporting institutions and the communities that surround and succour them, and how their experience reflects the nation's swaying fortunes since the 1980s. A Yorkshire Tragedy is compelling, illuminating, very human and often quite moving."

Credit to the town's MP Robert Halfon for talking a lot of sense. Halfon says: "I genuinely believe that the vast majority of people voted [Leave] because they just believed we were better off out. They didn't like the bureaucracy of the European Union. The only thing I would say is that the Brexit thing allowed a small minority of horrific people to come out of the sewers and exploit division and hatred."

He also points out that the Poles embody the spirit of Harlow, as a place for people in search of a better life. "They are regenerating local areas. They are 'doing the right thing': they are working hard, educating people; they fill up the churches. For them to feel frightened is terrifying." To read the full article click on the link.

There's a very interesting piece in the Guardian celebrating the architecture of the 1930s Bata factory and its workers' village at East Tilbury. It's billed as a "modernist marvel on the marshes of Essex". Sadly the Bata factory closed in 2005 and is now looking very dilapidated. It's Essex Architecture Week from Sep 10-11 and tours will be offered around the Bata village. There's also the Estuary Festival from Sep 17 to Oct 2, celebrating the area from Tilbury to Canvey Island. The days when a company would build flats, a cinema, shops and a hotel for its workforce seem long gone, and even though Amazon is opening a new warehouse in Tilbury you can't imagine them doing the same as Bata.

But the Thames Delta tones of Lee Brilleaux singing Going Back Home were used in Sunday's feature on a small number of Haredi Jews who are moving from Stamford Hill to the "promised land" of well-kosher Canvey Island. The orthodox Jewish families have been deterred by the high house prices of Stamford Hill and are now favouring the sea air and cheaper homes of Canvey. So blokes in tall black hats and soberly-dressed women can now be seen on the Island. Canvey has always been a bit different and so far it seems to be going well. The Oyster Fleet Hotel and Dr Feelgood manager Chris Fenwick was interviewed and recalled last year finding two Hasidic Jews standing down by the jetty immortalised by Dr Feelgood, asking his advice on moving to the area. "I can not see any problem at all, they are making the right steps to interact with the community and this is a piece if Canvey history," said Fenwick. "I say bring it on, it totally works!"Pete Mayhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com://thejoyofessex.blogspot.com/2016/08/canveys-promised-land_16.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725774597699803499.post-55265697281191461472016-08-01T10:54:00.001-07:002016-08-02T04:14:41.716-07:00Essex water poet in the Guardian

Chelmsford's Sarah Perry Picture: Jamie Drew

Great interview with Sarah Perry, author of The Essex Serpent, in today's Guardian. As befits a Gothic novelist, she had an unusual upbringing in Chelmsford in a strict Baptist family. The youngest of five daughters, she attended the wonderfully-named Ebenezer Strict and Particular Baptist Chapel. She aways felt an outsider at school, before losing her faith in her twenties. No wonder The Essex Serpent has such evocative descriptions of the Victorian crisis between faith and science, all set on the Blackwater estuary. It's also sad to read that she has contracted Graves Disease, an auto-immune disorder. She jokes: "I know! It was one of the first things I said: I'm a gothic novelist with Graves' disease." Let's hope she manages to get it cured and write another great book.

Former Shenfield School pupil Philip Hammond became Chancellor in Theresa May's shuffle. Meanwhile another old Shenfieldian, Richard Madeley, revealed that Hammond was "a Goth back then, he used to arrive in class in a leather trench coat." While Popbitch added that Hammond also used to run a mobile disco in Shenfield. The Goth story is a little unlikely - in the mid-1970s Phil would surely have been more of a trenchcoat-wearing hippy carrying a Led Zeppelin album. Not to be outdone, another old Shenfieldian, Ross Kemp, was on our TV screens getting shot at in Syria in Ross Kemp: The Fight Against Isis. Never mind Eton. Now Cameron and Osborne have departed the scene, it seems that Shenfield, now a comprehensive, is the nation's most influential school.Pete Mayhttp://email@example.com://thejoyofessex.blogspot.com/2016/07/a-good-week-for-shenfield-school.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725774597699803499.post-43564708893558871562016-07-14T05:43:00.004-07:002016-07-15T04:25:26.877-07:00Strange news from Essex

Just finished Sarah Perry's The Essex Serpent, which is a riveting read. Set in 1893, the landscape of the Blackwater estuary is in many ways the star of the book — Perry does for rural Essex what Hardy did for Wessex. Most of the action is set in the fictional village of Aldwinter, which is on the River Blackwater and appears to be somewhere around St Osyth and Brightlingsea.

The reader comes to know Perry's village intimately — the mist rolling across the salt marshes, the village church with its carved serpent on a pew, World's End cottage at the end of the village and home to the slimy-coated Mr Cracknall, Traitor's oak, the ribs of the wreck known as Leviathan, the changing skies and the rubbing of boats on shingle as the locals fear that something lurks out on the water.

There's lots of simmering passion between wealthy fossil-hunting widow Cora Seabourne and married local vicar William Ransome as they take long walks through the Essex woods, plus more love interest in the form of pioneering surgeon Luke Garrett.

Perry makes good use of historical detail; Cora first stays in Colchester, where she meets Thomas Taylor who lost his legs in the Colchester earthquake of 1884 and now begs by his shattered house. The myth of the Essex Serpent comes from a real source too, the 1699 pamphlet Strange News From Essex, alerting the villagers of Henham-on-the-Mount to the Essex Serpent.

The Essex Serpent is enjoyable for its exploration of Victorian themes, science versus faith, the stirrings of feminism, the slum housing of Bethnal Green and advances in surgery. And on a personal level, as my great great grandfather died from tuberculosis at the age of 33 in Whitechapel in 1872, it's very moving to read Perry writing of the disease's debilitating effects on one of the novel's main characters.

Overall it's an enticing, beautifully-written book for anyone who likes Essex history intertwined with a Victorian love story.Pete Mayhttp://email@example.com://thejoyofessex.blogspot.com/2016/07/strange-news-from-essex_14.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725774597699803499.post-36146361494852906252016-07-07T02:42:00.001-07:002016-07-07T06:07:25.569-07:00Southend brought to standstill by onions

In a truly Monty Python-esque scenario, Southend was yesterday brought to a standstill by 50,000 onions, reports the Southend Echo. A lorry overturned on Eastern Avenue spilling the said onions, blocking the road and causing gridlock. This eye-watering news could certainly lead to tears in Essex and is proof that for one day at least, the Southend world is just a great big onion. Police advice is to keep 'em peeled.Pete Mayhttp://email@example.com://thejoyofessex.blogspot.com/2016/07/southend-brought-to-standstill-by-onions.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725774597699803499.post-79609060925411854752016-06-20T09:44:00.000-07:002016-06-20T09:51:10.853-07:00The Essex Serpent

There's been some glowing reviews of Sarah Perry's new novel The Essex Serpent. It was book of the week in Saturday's Guardian and described by the Sunday Times as  "One of the most memorable historical novels of the past decade". It's set in 1890 around the Blackwater estuary and is the story of widowed Cora Seagrave who moves to the wilds of Essex and hears stories of the mythical serpent terrorising folks on the river. She is soon involved in a complex relationship with the local vicar and adversary of the serpent William Ransome. Sounds like it has a lot to say about Victorian attitudes to science and religion and indeed Essex and I'll be reviewing it as soon as I've got a copy. Interestingly the Essex Serpent is also a pub in Covent Garden. Not a lot of people know that.

Artist Barry Thompson's work is inspired by his adolescent memories of where he grew up, "an area of Essex between Dagenham and Romford (or the further reaches of East London depending on your point of view)." Thompson's exhibition, Fistful of Blood and Feathers, at Peer in Hoxton has three categories of, "playing soldiers, bird watching and sexual awakening."

Thompson explains: "All took place in the same location, the same backfields and alleyways I would escape to - either with friends or alone. Hiding in the trees or long grass (stalking, secretive behaviour), building dens (in which to prepare for battle, to decorate with pornography), under-age smoking, drugs; or just ambling and wandering in search of that elusive species of bird, never found."

The first room of the exhibition features postcard-sized paintings of blossoming hawthorns, country lanes and scrub illuminated by sunlight. The second room features his affecting world war one pictures. Thompson discovered that war poets Wilfred Owen and Edward Thomas trained at the then-rural Romford, along with artists Paul and John Nash. His images of soldiers are surrounded by white, as if eternity is closing in, while the hand-written crosses inked above the heads (my granddad did the same on his war pictures to indicate his position) look like flying birds.

This being old Essex (now technically part of London), there's also a more literal use of the term "birds" on a couple of pictures featuring scraps of old porn mags, the forbidden fare found in the woods and taken to adolescent dens (shades of Ian Dury's song Razzle In My Pocket here).

It's well worth a look and my wife Nicola, who knows about art, enjoyed it too. The exhibition runs until July 9 and has an interesting library accompanying it. I enjoyed thumbing through Michael Foley' Front-line Essex and reading about the important role my childhood haunts of Warley Common and Warley Barracks played in Britain's wartime history.

Barry Thompson — Fistful of Blood and Feathers, is at Peer, 97-99 Hoxton Street, London, N1 6QL. June 2-July 9. For more details click on the link.

Nicola, bowled over by the artworks, reads about about wartime Romford

Essex was represented as some sort of Eldorado in the BBC's controversial documentary on the borough of Newham, The Last Whites of The East End. Tony, who has a Jamaican father and is married to a Romanian, is moving to Hornchurch, while Leanne is heading to Raleigh (which her family regard as something akin to emigrating to Mars), Peter from the East Ham Working Men's Club has moved to Hornchurch and boxer Darren has moved to Rainham. What came across is that the old white community are basically decent people but appear very conservative and too easily assume that non-white faces represent a problem, though it's worth noting that Usmaan, a fifth-generation East Ender with Bangladeshi roots, also feels threatened.

London changes all the time. Perhaps the change has been too quick, but the old East End was never going to remain the same after the docks and industry disappeared. People's kids don't live next door anymore. My dad's family moved out of the East End to Essex in the 1930s. So-called 'white flight' was through aspiration as much as anything. Essex has always been more attractive than Newham because of the space and countryside and proximity of the sea. Can we really blame Asian families for buying up the cheap houses vacated in the East End?

Race isn't the problem in Newham, but poverty, jobs and housing are. It's sad, but the old East Enders are mourning a lost way of life that won't return (and it was as much the Krays and rigid conformity as unlocked doors). They'd be better celebrating bringing their East End values to Essex rather than mourning Newham. The borough has problems, but it's also an exciting place full of great curries, a vibrant market, a great bookshop, the Who Shop, Nathan's pie and mash shop and still some proper old cockneys. We need to accept that Newham's now multicultural and that the people growing up there are British — while Estuary Essex is now the home of the children of the old white East Enders.Pete Mayhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com://thejoyofessex.blogspot.com/2016/05/escape-to-essex.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725774597699803499.post-64118427807558754322016-05-24T06:34:00.002-07:002016-05-24T06:39:27.718-07:00Tiptoe through the bluebells in Billericay

Caught the last bluebells at Norsey Wood in Billericay last weekend. We also saw first world war training trenches and lots of ant nests amid decaying tree trunks. The 165-acre wood has a bit of everything, a Bronze Age burial mound, a prehistoric track, a medieval deer bank and somewhere underneath it all lie the remains of lots of revolting peasants who were slaughtered by the King's forces at the end of the Peasant's Revolt in 1381. Finds include a Mesolithic axehead, an Iron Age glass bead, Celtic burial urns and Roman pottery and burials. It's an enticing, leafy place to get lost in and we topped it off with some excellent takeaway falafel from Menad restaurant near the station.Pete Mayhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com://thejoyofessex.blogspot.com/2016/05/tiptoe-through-bluebells-in-billericay.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725774597699803499.post-35141000386075479372016-04-19T05:32:00.002-07:002016-04-19T05:46:50.316-07:00Sky's the limit at Clacton

PICTURE: KAY BURLEY TWITTER

The media's obsession with Essex continues. Sky News has been broadcasting live from Clacton-on-Sea today with Kay Burley live on Clacton beach, which is looking pretty glorious in the sunshine. She's also been doing live links from in front of the pier, complete with fish and chip shop. The reason Sky is there is that Clacton is Britain's most Eurosceptic town — though the Guardian recently claimed this was Romford. Anyway, Claction is represented by Ukip's Douglas Carswell, who defected from the Conservatives.

Sky News has been interviewing residents of the German town which is twinned with Clacton (they want the UK to stay) and the locals in Clacton, and has even taken Douglas Carswell to Poland. Burley has also pondered how the huge wind farm in the sea off Clacton would fare without European subsidies. She's there all day so check it out on Sky News. And a nice day out for the news crew… let's hope they have a go on the slot machines and some chips before returning to London.

The Daily Telegraph reports an outbreak of strange vandalism in Blackmore. All references to Blackmore on the village's signs have been erased with grey paint, and even the stocks on the village green have been daubed with paint. Why would someone want to erase all traces of Blackmore? Is it something to do with the Mountnessing People's Front, the People's Front of Ingatestone or someone looking back in Ongar? Or someone with a grudge against former Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore?

Jaywick as filmed in Benefits-by-the-Sea

There's been something of a twitter-storm over Russian TV using Jaywick to show there are worse places than Russia. Jaywick has made a unlikely appearance on Novosibirsk TV. Fed up with a BBC crew filming the dodgy parts of Sibera the Russians hit back by broadcasting pictures of Jaywick, officially the most deprived area in Britain. Lots of comments on BBC Essex's Facebook page, with some Essex residents saying "fair play it's a dump" and others wanting to send a rocket to Russia. Personally I think that Jaywick might be run down, but it's got a great beach, has lots of potential and could actually benefit from EU funding should we remain in Europe.

text: Home > Medical > Hearing management > Anatomy of hearing Updated 03 February 2015 A magnificent organ The ear is an advanced and sensitive organ of the human body. Take a look at how the different elements work together to make hearing possible. 0 The ear is an advanced and very sensitive organ of the human body. The major task of the ear is to detect and analyse noises by transduction. Another very important function is to maintain the sense of balance. The best way to describe the functioning of the ear is to describe the path that the sound waves take on their way through the ear. The ear is divided into three different parts: The outer ear The middle ear The inner ear The outer ear The only visible part of the ear is the pinna (the auricle), which, with its special helical shape, is the first part of the ear that reacts to sound. The pinna acts as a kind of funnel that assists in directing the sound further into the ear. Without this funnel, the sound waves would take a more direct route into the auditory canal. This would be both difficult and wasteful, as much of the sound would be lost, making it harder to hear and understand the sounds. The pinna is essential due to the difference in pressure inside and outside the ear. The resistance of the air is higher inside the ear than outside because the air inside the ear is compressed and thus under greater pressure. In order for the sound waves to enter the ear in the best possible way, the resistance must not be too high. This is where the pinna helps by overcoming the difference in pressure inside and outside the ear. The pinna functions as a kind of intermediate link, which makes the transition smoother and less brutal, allowing more sound to pass into the auditory canal (meatus). Once the sound waves have passed the pinna, they move two to three centimetres into the auditory canal before hitting the eardrum, also known as the tympanic membrane. The eardrum The eardrum (tympanic membrane), which marks the beginning of the middle ear, is extremely sensitive. In order to protect the eardrum, the auditory canal is slightly curved. This makes it more difficult for insects, for example, to reach the eardrum. At the same time, earwax (cerumen) in the auditory canal also helps to keep unwanted materials like dirt, dust and insects out of the ear. In addition to protecting the eardrum, the auditory canal also functions as a natural hearing aid that automatically amplifies low and less penetrating sounds of the human voice. In this way, the ear compensates for some of the weaknesses of the human voice, and makes it easier to hear and understand ordinary conversation.
