Elderly Man Dangerolusly Stuck in Road – Heartwarming Act of Kindness Ensues
This week, activist Bob Tuskin witnessed a 90-year-old man in a motorized wheelchair get stuck in the road?and get rescued by two bystanders. They lifted the man and his wheelchair and carried it to safety.
Bob was so moved by what he saw that he pulled over in hopes to get an interview with the man and the people who helped him out.
It turned out the wheelchair had some sort of electrical malfunction that they could not figure out how to fix. So unfortunately, the man would not be able to continue his trip to the store.
The assisted living home that the man?stays at would not pick him up, so the bystanders not only helped drive him back to his home but they also offered to go to the store for him as well.
In the end, the elderly man was safe and taken back to where lived, thanks to the help of a few bystanders who took the time to see if he was ok.
Would you have stopped to help if you saw this man stuck in the road?

Where to begin............Seafood...Happy Hour...Tina...Ambiance. My wife and I research via Google whenever we travel for the best lodging and dinner venues...call it a habit, but it surely pays off most times. After reading about this seafood meca on line, we just had to see what all the rave was about in Rehobeth Beach. By far, one of the top 2 restaurants in this little town. Seafood is fresh and skillfully prepared and presented. First a delight to the senses and finally, a delight to the wallet. Tina is the main bar tender and a just a sweetheart of a woman. Very knowledgable and very attentive with her customers. Happy hour is amazing and fun. Oysters are cold & tasty with a hint of ocean saltiness. Steamed shrimp are large and perfectly done with pickeling spice and some magic to produce wonderful flavor and aroma. Friendly, comfortable atmosphere with very fine food, beverage and great people enjoying life. Don't miss this one!!

well here's my design of Ben in my Ben 10 doujinshi. Not much difference between him and the original. Hair is longer because this takes place 2 years after the cartoon (to be specific, the 'Secret of the Omnitrix' Movie) I designed a jacket for him to wear vut didn't put it in the picture because he doesn't wear it until later in the comic. Will clean up pencils in the colored version.
P.S. this goes without saying, but I so did not create Ben 10. And i dont own it either
P.S. this goes without saying, but I so did not create Ben 10. And i dont own it either
ow my word i remember drawing a copy of this ages ago!!!
It looks good kind of short but good.
The design is good yet i don't dig much the long hair, doesn't fit well on Ben also makes him look like a girl.
heh-heh, srry. The kid playing Ben in Race against time looked like his hair was longer so i decided to go with it. his hair will be back to normal if I decide to make another doujinshi though.

Bury, United Kingdom (PressExposure) March 26, 2012 -- A winner, Crown Oil, is celebrating the HazardEx Award for Environmental Contribution to Industry. Without any spillage, Crown Oil removed and recycled 6.4 million litres of gas oil from Derwent Power Station in a carefully managed operation needing over 200 tanker movements.
Mark Andrews, general manager, said, "Fuel and transport oils are our main business; we aim to be responsible and minimise our environmental impact in everything we do. This award is something that all the team can be very proud of.
Crown Oil is one of only a handful of companies in the UK with the technical, commercial and logistical skills to do oil recovery work on this scale. The Environmental Services Division schedules each recovery operation with care. Fuel transfers are monitored to prevent spillage. Tank residues are removed at the end of major pumping operations. The tanks are then either de-gassed and cleaned in preparation for future use or cut up and removed from site. Crown Oil's dedicated laboratory analyses the recovered fuel and will recommend re-blending if necessary before re-sale to the market.
"Large industrial gas users, like power stations, face challenges following the termination of the interruptible gas tariff," Mark explained. "Large stocks of reserve gas oil that are no longer needed will deteriorate with time to become an environmental hazard."
Crown Oil has a number of environmental initiatives. They opened an environmentally friendly HQ just last year. The company carbon offset their own transport fleet so that all deliveries to site are carbon free. Additionally, users such as builders and plant operators who use red diesel have an option to totally carbon offset their fuel. Crown Oil also has a high grade bio-fuel derived from 100 percent sustainable sources that is ideal for use in combined heat and power (CHP) plant. This enables users to collect maximum renewable obligation certificates (ROCs) to offset against other carbon producing activity.

Fiche :: Action 94: Propose a directive for the deployment of e-Maritime services
24 October 2010
The Commission will propose in 2011 a Directive for the deployment of e-Maritime services.
What is the problem? European ports need to increase the efficiency and quality of their services
Maritime transport plays a key role for EU trade and prosperity but transport operators, EU ports and administrations in charge of various controls (safety, security customs, immigration, etc) are under pressure to increase the efficiency and quality of their services.
Why is EU action necessary? EU-wide online maritime services could boost trade
Using advanced information technologies for working and doing business in the maritime transport sector is a good solution to improve services and facing more and more socio-economic and environmental demands.
EU-wide online maritime services include:
What will the European Commission do?

I'm flying out to England June 25 from Chicago. I am a us citizen going to visit my boyfriend and stay til the end of october. I am smart enough not to mention a boyfriend at emigration and intend on showing them an onward ticket to Poland where I have family and plan on staying (a total lie since I don't plan on leaving England). Let's say my onward ticket would be a week after I arrive and I flew into manchester to visit some friends. Would I have any trouble getting through emigration? My polish ticket will not have a return flight on it so it would prove in a sense that I'm not coming back to the uk. would I need to show proof of funds? If so what's a good amount?
My biggest fear is being sent back to the us but how likely is it with this scenario?

entering the uk with a one way passport. How smart is it?
I'm flying out to England June 25 from Chicago. I am a us citizen going to visit my boyfriend and stay til the end of october. I am smart enough not to mention a boyfriend at emigration and intend on showing them an onward ticket to Poland where I have family and plan on staying (a total lie since I don't plan on leaving England). Let's say my onward ticket would be a week after I arrive and I flew into manchester to visit some friends. Would I have any trouble getting through emigration?

Report Abuse
This is a baffling thread.
1. What is a one-way passport?
2. You say you're staying in England until October and then say you don't plan on leaving England. Which is it?
3. What is your point? Is it to break the law and remain in England indefinitely?
4. There must be something you're not saying that leads you to believe you won't be allowed into England.
Report Abuse
If you are a US citizen and you want to visit your boyfriend you can come into the UK and stay for up to 6 months without a visa.
If you mean to come for more than 6 months, get a flippin' visa, and don't piss about with breaking the law.
Report Abuse
My take is:
The OP has a one-way transatlantic ticket to UK (passport was a misprint).
She wants to stay with her boyfriend till October, i.e. 4 months, well within the 6 months allowed as visitor.
But she fears that mentioning boyfriend will be like a red rag to a bull and will be pounced upon by UK immigration. So got herself a one-way ticket out to Poland, and is going to tell them she will only stay in UK for a week visiting friends before flying out to Poland to visit her family.
Hopefully this will sastisfy the immigration and she will get admitted for 6 months (the normal procedure), allowing her to stay with her boyfriend as planned.
She is asking whether this will work and how much money she should have available in case she is asked.
My answer is it will probably work, unless they find something not quite right in her demeanour, answers etc that makes them think she may not be telling the truth and she is taken aside and gets grilled, and her luggage examined. If they then find a tell-tale sign of staying 4 months in UK with a boyfriend, she will be denied entry for lying to an immigration officer and sent back. Remember immigration officers are trained to spot those with something to hide and have a lot of power at their disposal to find out the truth.
Report Abuse
If she's only staying for 4 months why is she buying a one-way ticket to England and then buying a fake ticket to Poland. Why not buy a round trip ticket if she intends to return.
I think there's something else going on here.
Report Abuse
Since you are under the 4 month limit, just say you are visiting friends and touring the country, if asked what you are doing. Fooling around with the ticket to Poland stuff is uneccesary and risks you being caught in a lie. I don't see the problem.
Report Abuse
That should read 6 month limit.
Report Abuse
seems like a complicated way to do a simple thing.
Report Abuse
Trouble with a 4-month return ticket is that the immigration will ask what exactly she will be doing in UK for that length of time, where she is going, whom she is visiting (names, phone numbers so they can phone up and ask their side of story) and does she have enough money to pay for all her expenses, which will be considerable. One-way ticket and a flight out to Poland a week later may sound convincing enough and there will probably be less likelihood of denied entry, unless of course they suspect she may be telling a lie and get serious.
Report Abuse
If Clawdia doesn't get more coherent than she is on this thread it won't take a beagle to sniff her out.
Report Abuse
An onward ticket is all you need to enter a European country, and Europe is a bigger place than one thinks in terms of exiting it -- a lot of people fly into a place like London and out of Casablanca, and that's just fine. The immigration authorities have heard about trains and boats.
No need to get a ticket as far as Poland, though. A ticket to Paris is quite sufficient.
Report Abuse
Except that the UK is not in Schengen, so runs its own immigration arrangements. The question is about the likelihood of a UK immigration officer smelling a rat, irrespective of the paperwork the OP might be carrying. That is their profession: if (with all due respect) non-expert Fodorites can sense something odd about this, then it's much more likely that an immigration officer will. They're even more likely to do so if there's an onward ticket for the following week and paperwork suggesting enough money to last for a lot longer, or any sort of correspondence, notes, diaries, appointments in a phone calendar, whatever, suggesting she might be in the UK after she's supposed to be in Poland.
Tell the truth and shame the devil. It's likely to cause a lot less trouble in the long run.
Report Abuse
?? Immigration isn´t going to ask a thing except why you are there...(visiting friends and holiday) and an address. They won´t ask to see tickets etc. The only snag is if your passport is close to expiration.
Report Abuse
<< Immigration isn´t going to ask a thing except why you are there >>
Don't bet on that. Britain is the only country where I've been thoroughly questioned before being allowed to enter. I've had to produce a return ticket, show I have enough money for my stay, asked where I'm going, what I'll be doing, etc. The only thing that stopped the questions was a secondary ID from a major US company showing that I was employed.
Report Abuse
It may well be that the OP isn't a typical Fodorite with secure employment, middle-aged, staying in comfortable hotels and just doing a tourist visit in UK. Immigration officer can spot such a traveller a mile away, and there will be minimum fuss before stamping passport for 6 months. But if you are young - I'm guesing here, with not much money and visiting a boyfriend, the immigration will be a lot more thorough in interrogating and doing checks to see if they really are what they claim to be.
It's exactly the same for young Europeans going through US border control.
Report Abuse
thanks for the answers guys. Alec was most spot on in his answer of what I am trying to do. I figured emigration would raise some serious eyebrows if I had a roundtrip ticket for 4 months because I flew into Manchester a month ago for only 5 days and I got grilled. I figured a roundtrip ticket with a 4 month later departe date would give me more hassle. I found a very cheap one way ticket where I go from Canada to Manchester and an equally cheap ticket from Manchester to Poland a week from my departure. my boyfriend will be flying back with me end of October so we will just find something cheap together. does this help clarify things?
Report Abuse
But then if you will have a return ticket within 4 months (supposing you get to stay 6 months with a Canadian passport) then I still don't really get what the worry is. Yes, I suppose they might suspect you have other intentions if you mention a boyfriend, but if you're honest and you have a ticket back from the UK to Canada, I don't know what the problem would be really (I'm also the type who immediately looks guilty when questioned by authority types even though I have nothing to hide, so I understand if that's your concern).
Perhaps it might help if your boyfriend books his ticket back before you return & gives you a copy and you can say "I'm coming to visit my boyfriend, staying for 4 months and he's coming back with me. Look here's his ticket." It just seems like lying would be more trouble than it's worth, and have serious consequences if they do somehow figure out there's something up - who knows what they can do these days - stick a note on your file that you should have left after a couple of days and then catch you on the way out? Seems unlikely, but why risk it when you'll be sticking to the rules anyway?
Report Abuse
Oh, I think I got a bit confused with what stage you were at buying tickets. I guess you got a one way over and no return at this stage, but surely you and your boyfriend can book one-way tickets back on the same flight before you leave for the UK. And then if you have to, you could show both of those as proof of departure, as I suggested.
Report Abuse
In your admirable explanation, you appear to be suggesting Wildclawdia does the "I'm going to Poland" thing.
But it's completely legal for her to stay with her boyfriend for 4 months - and, frankly she doesn't come across to me as being a very good liar. With Immigration people's famous noses for wrong 'uns, isn't it likely she'll get the "let's go through the diary and computer" treatment?
What's wrong with:
a) telling the truth, and
b) going on to admit Mr Blogs, with whom she's staying at 44 Acacia Ave, M32 5JG, is indeed her boyfriend - but of course she's no intention of marrying him here, doing any medical tourism or being any kind of charge on public funds.
Isn't this one of the rare occasions where honesty is the best policy?
And if so, what does she need to have with her (like adrienne's company ID card) to convince them she really is going home in 120 days' time?
Report Abuse
I am afraid because I know I do fluster. and maybe I should have just bought a round trip to England that shows me leaving in a week but in reality I would stay til october and book another roundtrip that way. In the end it will just have cost me more money but it would than at least be a guarantee that I would get in

Claudia said in her OP that she is a US citizen so she has a US Passport not a Canadian Passport unless she had dual citizenship.
Report Abuse
There are a couple of things that will be like red rag to a bull as far as UK immigration is concerned - a young backpacker with no plans, little money, but just here to see England; and someone coming to see/stay with their boy/girlfriend. Both such groups, from experience, have the tendency to overindulge in British hospitality by seeking to work illegally or overstay (both of course go together, as you need money to stay longterm). A friend is someone you meet and then depart, a boy/girlfriend is someone you want to spend a lot of time with, even semi-permanently if they can find a way. And with ever tightening immigration rules for would-be settlers (and visa fee alone comes to close on £1000), many indeed try to get into the country and then disappear into the black economy (by last estimate close on a million illegals currently in UK). So any immigration officer who values their job and promotion prospect will pounce on such target groups, and using all their technological, psychological and legal means at their disposal, try to break their victims into self-incrimination.
So honesty, sadly, isn't always the smartest move. It just depends on individual circumstances and the amount of risk you are prepared to take.
At the end of the day, the sooner the OP comes to her long-term decision about her relationship, such as marriage, the clearer her options will be.
Report Abuse
Instead of spending money on a ticket to Poland you could have bought a round trip ticket with a return date of a few weeks after your arrival and then, once in England, changed the return date to 4 months after your arrival. It's only a change fee of $100 to $150.
Now you have a worthless ticket to Poland and will pay for 2 one-way fares which are usually much more expensive than a round trip ticket.
Report Abuse
I appreciate all that.
But Claudia lying will self-incriminate. Claudia telling the truth has nothing to incriminate herself about.
And even the most ambitious jobsworth can't cosh her into a Stalin-style fake confession.
Isn't the sensible thing for her to be stuffed with evidence she's DEFINITELY going home well before the six months - and to psych herself into understanding she's got nothing to hide.
Our law, after all, doesn't say "six months' stay unless they're young and have a boyfriend here". In effect it says "six months unless the border officer has reasonable grounds to believe they're not legit". And Claudias's legit.
She and bloke can only decide between marriage and splitting (or even what most Britons their age do, and neither marry nor split) by spending time together. They're not penpals.
Report Abuse
I don't advocate lying, but people CAN change their mind once they are safely through immigration. Perhaps Claudia has planned to see her Polish relatives after a week, but her joy of seeing her boyfriend again may make her change her plan, so instead of Poland, she may decide to spend all her time till October in UK, which is allowed under her leave to enter. But if she is upfront about her option of staying with her boyfriend, she may end up taking the next flight home.
It's lying if you do something with the intention to deceive. It isn't lying if you change your mind/plan.
Report Abuse
"It's lying if you do something with the intention to deceive. It isn't lying if you change your mind/plan."
Very Jesuitical. What school did you go to?
But Claudia thinks the Polish thing's a lie, whatever St Ignatius might have said. So she'll blush and stammer.
And that's why this might be one of those rare times straightforwardness might be best. Suitably rehearsed, psyched up and supported, of course. Don't want to overdo the honesty.
Report Abuse
I think someone who beleives they have a one-way passport will have a lot of trouble getting past immigration (emigration would be leaving - not arriving) at any border. If you are young, are bringing a lot of stuff with you, say you are visiting your boyfriend - they may well question you in depth. To be sure they let you in you need to
1)have some sort of return or ongoing ticket
2)have somethig indicating you will return home - to a school or a job or an aprtment or something
3) will need to show enough money to support yourself - as in bank sttement or credit card statemet showig many thousand you can spend
4)may have to prove you hae medical insurance
But mostly - you have to get a lot less confused and a lot more coherent - or they'll be searchng your luggage for drugs.

Exactly my thoughts, nytraveler. And, if the OP's biggest fear is being sent back to the us , a rethink might be in order. They won't chop off your head but fooling with the people at passport control might very well make for an unpleasant experience.

Clawdia posted "I flew into Manchester a month ago for only 5 days and I got grilled."
So obviously 1) she is already in the system, 2) there is something about her that may invite scrutiny, 3) she gets easily flustered.
Clawdia: You really REALLY should be truthful. If they catch you lying they can put you on the next flight home and you'll have to wait til Oct to see your BF.
You should have a R-T ticket. Whether it is for 4 months out or for a shorter period and then pay a change fee - that is up to you. Forget the fake ticket to Poland . . . That's how I see it.

I agree with adrienne. I can't believe all these one-way tickets will add up to less money (and less angst) than a round-trip ticket plus a change fee for the new return date.

i dont know what its like coming into the uk (i live here) but i accidently mentioned on a trip to the US last year that i was visiting my bf (who is now my ex lol) and got grilled to the 3rd degree despite having a return ticket (actually two as i wasnt departing from the city i flew into to) i hadn't even flown into the place he was living as it was cheaper to take the train but i really got the full works and my passport stamped with the latest date of departure even though in reality i departed the US a mere 9 days later..

Exactly - saying you are visiting a boyfriend is like a red flag to a bull. Almost guarantees they will ask a lot more questions. And if you're confused/unsure they will read it as lying and you may have a problem.

I practice immigration law in the UK. It is rubbish to suggest that it's a problem to visit a boyfriend. It's only a problem if they think you're not going to go home.
Lying is a disaster. If you use deception and are caught. you have zero chance of getting back in for ANYTHING for years.

I've found Heathrow immigration officers the worst/most thorough in terms of questioning young single females. Perhaps because people like the OP have come to stay with their UK boyfriends and never left.
For the OP, buy a return ticket BEFORE you travel, also it wouldn't hurt to have an adequate amount of savings in your bank account to prove you don't intend to stay. Do tell them about your boyfriend but have a specific date to leave-don't leave it open-ended.

Very interesting, I used to go visit my now husband in Scotland for three week stays. I just said I was visiting a friend and that was that. I always had a return ticket though and I had nothing to hide. We went about it the legal and honest way.
You need to be 100% honest Wildclawdia. Forget the Poland stuff. Just get the return ticket NOW and bring that with you.

You've come to the proper conclusion. Having a RT ticket in hand is the only way to go.

What is your boyfriend doing in the UK and why is he going back to Canada in October? There are probably good reasons for your timing and if you just state them you might be 'grilled' less. If your information is honest and you state it all up front there is less to 'grill' you on. I entered the UK twice last year. The first time I just waited for them to ask questions, and they did ask, quite a lot. I am middle aged, have a full time professional job, a house, a family etc. back in the US and was visiting my daughter who is a student in the UK. So nothing questionable at all, and was only staying 3 weeks. But it did feel like a grilling. I've been to the UK numerous other times and to most western European countries and don't ever recall such in depth questioning. Anyway, when I returned a few months later I just put all the info out there before they had a chance to start asking questions and they just said 'have a nice time' and that was that. So my advise, if you have nothing to hide, it put all the facts out there when they start the 'interview'.

Isabel - That is my strategy when visiting Canada for business, just put it all out there rather than waiting for the immigration officer to ask all the questions. Canada has some strict immigration rules for people visiting on business - they can require a letter of invitation from whoever you are visiting plus a letter from your own company stating that you are employed and that they expect you back. My husband's boss was actually turned back when he didn't have these letters.
When they ask why I am coming to Canada, I say I am coming on business, I and an engineer for such and such company and I have meetings with such and such company in such and such city. I find that if I am forthcoming with the information, they are more quickly satisfied and usually don't even ask for the letters. They usually ask a few more questions, but nothing major.
Report Abuse
Man, people are silly here. I just got back from the UK, where I was visiting my significant other. I was honest with them when I flew into Glasgow, said I was there to visit him and to check out going to school there as well. They were fine with it, I was fine with it. They even wished me good luck with it. Stayed for just over four months. You have up to 180 days on your passport to visit.
People would get along with things much better if they were just honest. Stop lying to people, in particular immigration officers in other countries - just be honest, and you'll be fine.

Lyon want to build
By Patrick Haond
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Lyon chairman Jean-Michel Aulas says that they want to keep their top stars.Lyon chairman Jean-Michel Aulas says that they want to keep most of their top stars and build for next season, but admitted Sidney Govou could leave.
Aulas is bitterly disappointed with Lyon's UEFA Champions League exit at the hands of PSV Eindhoven, as he firmly thought they had enough to go even further.
"We were stronger than last season, but the qualification was made on elements we could not control," said Aulas.
"I am disappointed about the Champions League because we started it to win. We will start again to win. We were a little closer, but luck is very important.
"It is enraging because we had the potential to win the Champions League this year."
Aulas insisted that they did not want to break the squad up, but admitted skipper Sidney Govou was keen to leave.
Coach Paul Le Guen (pictured) has also been linked with an exit, and Aulas believes if he stays then the top players will want to remain with him.
"Today we will try to keep almost everyone and go on forward.
"Yesterday I read Sidney Govou is mentally keen to leave: it is duly noted.
"If some players leave, we will replace them and we will even try to find better talents. Today the Lyon fame is so important that a lot of players are attracted.
"We will hire two or three players at very specific posts.
"For the moment we have forecasted to hire without departures. If Paul Le Guen stays, I think several players will stay."
Lyon will not let Govou leaves for less than é¼11 million, while they are in talks with Michael Essien over a new deal.
The French champions are thought to be keen on a number of big-name players, including Porto's Maniche, Auxerre's Bonaventure Kalou and Anderlecht's Aruna Dindane.

2nd Amend.
More Firearm Makers Boycott Anti-Gun City and State Governments
Liberty-minded firearm companies concerned about recent assaults on the gun rights of law-abiding citizens by Obama and others are taking action to defend the Second Amendment even if it means lost revenue, with several major firms announcing that they would no longer be supplying equipment to hostile state and local governments or their police forces. Both New York and California — where out-of-touch politicians continue to trample on citizens' constitutionally guaranteed right to keep and bear arms — have become primary targets. Activists and the companies are urging others to join the effort against more gun control now.
Among the manufacturers that have publicly announced their plans to prohibit sales to anti-Second Amendment authorities so far are LaRue Tactical, Olympic Arms, Extreme Firepower (EFI, LLC), and Barrett Firearms. All four firms, in solidarity with citizens in jurisdictions victimized by a lawless political class that refuses to uphold the Constitution, have expressed strong support for Americans' unalienable rights. Gun rights activists nationwide rushed to celebrate the companies' valor.
If citizens cannot purchase certain guns or accessories in places such as California, Chicago, or New York, then authorities cannot either, the companies essentially announced. In a press release posted online on Tuesday praising the Constitution and Bill of Rights, Olympic Arms President Brian Schuetz urged all firearm manufacturers to join the boycott effort, saying that they should stand together to repel politicians' hostile assaults on the rights of citizens.

A serving soldier allegedly hit and orally raped a frightened young woman in the bathroom of a house in Colne, a jury heard.
Burnley Crown Court was told how Shaun Aspin was said to have slapped the naked alleged victim's face and then struck her again when she refused to give him oral sex. He allegedly raped her, apologised, but then threatened to hit her again, telling her he was going through a rough time and she should just do what he said and perform the sex act on him. The woman claimed the defendant told her: "I don't want to hit you, but you are making me hit you."
Aspin (24) was said to have earlier got "very, very drunk" in a Nelson pub and had gone to the house by taxi after 11pm, shortly before the alleged incident on February 17th.
He was said to have followed the woman, who lives in the Pendle area, to the bathroom when she went to use the lavatory. She had repeatedly asked him to leave and he had refused. The woman locked herself in the bathroom and called the police after the alleged rape as the defendant smashed his way in and demanded to know who she was talking to. She hurriedly got dressed and fled from the property, the hearing was told.
Aspin, from Portland Street, Colne, denies rape and, the jury heard, claims the woman voluntarily performed oral sex on him.
Elizabeth Nicholls (prosecuting) said after the alleged rape, the woman texted her sister, asking her to go to the house immediately.
Aspin began banging on the bathroom door and the alleged victim called the police at 11-48pm. He then punched a panel on the door, was able to unlock it, got into the bathroom and demanded to know who the woman had been speaking to. The alleged victim grabbed her clothes from downstairs, dressed hurriedly and left the house. She encountered the police on the street and told officers the defendant had slapped her in the face.The woman's sister arrived, was very angry and had to be restrained by the police.
Miss Nicholls said Aspin was arrested and taken to the police station and the alleged victim was also taken to the police station to make a complaint of physical assault. At the station, she told officers Aspin had forced her into a sex act and she had not wanted it to happen.
The defendant was interviewed by the police and denied he had raped the woman. He claimed she had taken her clothes off and had effectively taken him by the hand upstairs, where she voluntarily performed oral sex on him.
He said he had left the bathroom, had heard her on the telephone and because he was anxious she was causing trouble for him, he accepted he broke into the bathroom.
Miss Nicholls told the jury: "The issue in this case is was it consensual or not. Of course, the Crown's case is it was not consensual."
In her video interview with police, played to the court, the woman said she was shocked when Aspin allegedly slapped her very hard on her cheek. She said she thought: "If I retaliate it will just be worse".
The alleged victim claimed Aspin told her to just do what he said, raised his hand again and told her she was making him hit her. She said after the defendant broke a door panel off, she noticed he had blood on his knuckles.
The woman continued: "I was trying to stay calm. I thought if I showed I was scared, it would make him worse. I thought I need to stay calm until the police get here."
The woman said Aspin must have realised it was the police she had called and he called her a bitch. She said she ran up the street to where she saw a police van and car. The alleged victim said: "I was shaking and almost in tears."

Can anyone help with this problem? My mobile provider is also Virgin, so I'm surprised it doesn't work properly.

Ahmed Azzam is an Egyptian designer specialized in handbags and clutches. His innovative designs, original patterns, quality materials and attention to details made him stand alone as THE designer to look after.
Q. Tell us the story behind Zaam Designs and the peacock in the logo.
The brand's name was originated from Azzam. I wanted to have a brand name with my identity. Also I was looking for a logo that is feminine, elegant and isn't taken by any other brand; so I chose the peacock. Fashion has been my passion since my first college year. It's where I want to spend my entire life. It didn't take me much time to find out that I should specialize in bags and clutches. So after I finished my studies, I started my career life and launched my first line in June 2012.
Q. Besides Bags, what was the first piece you ever designed?
Back in college, I designed necklaces, earrings and bracelets, but it didn't last for so long because I had to concentrate on my studies.
Q. In your opinion, when will women stop running after SIGNS and choose DESIGNS instead?
They've already started! Since I started the customized sections, I have been getting a lot of calls from women who are willing to pay anything just to get a unique bag with their name on it.
Q. What's the weirdest thing that ever inspired you?
The Disco ball! In my last collection, I created a bag that was made out of tiny pieces of glass; exactly the same as a disco ball.
Q. Brilliant idea that you added a line of laptop bags to your collection, what's your next step?
Every year I try to introduce a new line to my brand. After the first anniversary, I introduced the men line, then traveling bags and in my last collection I added laptop bags for men. Last June, I introduced leather good accessories; including belts, headbands, and wallets.
Q. Does your mom wear your bags?
(He smiles) Of course! Since I started Zaam, my mother and sister never wear anything except Zaam.
Q. What's unique about the fashionista who chooses your designs?
When I design a new line; first, I search for a new idea and then I come up with a theme for the line. I try to make very unique pieces that no one would find in any ordinary shop… That's why any Zaam woman is standing out clearly in the crowd.
Q. What are the Difficulties you've found in Egypt while establishing your business?
One of the biggest issues I face in Egypt is finding bag accessories and metals, because there are no factories that are specialized in this stuff. Also another challenge is in the production; Egyptian labors have no sense of commitment or respect for timelines. It's very difficult to find a committed workshop with a high quality work too.
Q. In your opinion, fashion in Egypt will be better if!
Fashion in Egypt is booming. Now there are a lot of fashion designers and blogs under the spot. People are more into wearing local designers. Media is giving more attention to the local designers. You'll find all the sectors covered even turban designers. Before, there were very few fashion events, but now they're spreading all over the city. And sponsors who are not in the fashion business are willing to pay
Q. When will you have your own showroom/shop?
It's not in plan yet. I'm seeking exposure now. My next destination will be Dubai, and then Europe.
Q. Did you ever watch a competitor's design and shouted "THAT'S A STATEMENT PIECE"?
Yeah.. Actually having competitors is very healthy. And I have a couple of them on top of my mind; Marsouma designs and Okhtein. They both create superb designs.
Q. What was the most annoying or sarcastic comment you got from a hater?
I don't think I've got one yet; however if it happened, I think I'd pay attention to it. Maybe this person has my best interest at heart.
Q. Who's the young Egyptian designer that you think his/her designs are unique?
Nada Akram! She's the one who invented the pop art and celebrity vintage style in her designs. And Menna Tarek in jewelry designing. She has a very unique taste.
Q. What's the funniest/ most unique piece you've ever created?
I'd say it's the "pyramid" Bag. Looking exactly like a pyramid, it's four-sided with front and back made of snake leather, and other sides made of glittery leather.
Q. What's the IT piece you especially customized for a celebrity?
Mona Zaki's bag. People ask me to do more of that design with their names on.
Q. And which is your IT piece from your collection?
My line for this year is really special for me because it's a collaboration between two huge entities. The line is basically it's full of crystals. However, my IT bag of the last collection is that round clutch with the vintage pattern.
Out and About
-Words I live by… Old is always gold.
-Women will be prettier if … They wear what fit their bodies and stopped going with the flow.
-Men should understand that… She's not wearing anything for you.
-Things I barely go out without… My watch! It's not mine actually and it's not working but it belongs to my best friend who moved to Seaton. Second is my cell phone; because I run my business through WhatsApp and Instagram. And of course my sketch book; because whenever I get inspired I must draw immediately.
-If the devil didn't wear Prada, she would wear… Haha…Zaam!
– My IT inspiration / character is… Coco Chanel and Ramy El Kordy.

Mother-of-nine on £38,000 a year benefits reveals she is pregnant again with twins
A MOTHER-OF-NINE who receives £38,000 a year in taxpayer handouts is set to claim even more benefits after revealing she is pregnant again with twins.
Cheryl Prudham, 32, is expected to receive an extra £1,400-a-year after her tenth and eleventh children are born this September.
She sparked outrage last October when she was moved to a £200,000 five-bedroom semi after complaining to the council that her family needed to live in a bigger home.
Mrs Prudham said today she will not be "made to feel guilty" because her and husband Robert, 29, both work part-time as carers.
Speaking to The Sun, she said: "I'm not being made to feel guilty for having my children, especially when I do actually go out to work."
I'm not being made to feel guilty for having my children, especially when I do actually go out to work
The couple had first demanded a new home last year after hearing about other families on benefits who were handed bigger properties.
Mr and Mrs Prudham, who at the time lived in Sittingbourne in Kent, repeatedly bid for a new home to Kent Homechoice, which works alongside Kent County Council.
However the parents, who were living in a three-bedroom council house, were left furious when they were turned down.
Instead they agreed a house swap with another family living in Gravesend who wanted to downsize.
She has now revealed that she is "not really happy" with the new home.
She said: "We've been here for about three months but I'm not really happy with the new house.
"We've got enough room but it's just we had to move out of Sittingbourne and we liked it there.
"But there was nothing available there so I had to do a mutual exchange here and I don't really like it here to be honest."
The parents both work 20 hours a week and in total have an annual income of £52,722 - £18,000 higher than the average UK working household.
The couple said their part-time work entitled to them to a new home.
Speaking last year, Mrs Prudham said: "I see other people in the paper and it makes me sick. They shouldn't just get a new home handed to them on a plate.
"It gives people with big families a bad name. I don't want people to judge us because we have so many children.
"If I sat on my a*** I would understand people would have something to say. We would probably earn more on benefits."
She also revealed that her and her husband do not like using contraception.
Mrs Prudham had her first son George, 14, when she was still just 17 and was living in a homeless hostel in Kent in the summer of 2000.
She met her current partner in 2009 and by that point had also had son Jack, now 13, and daughters Caitlin, nine, Maisie, eight, Millie, six, and Madison, five.
The couple went on to have three children together - Leon, three, Lenny, two, and one-year-old daughter Lainey.
She added: "We are proud that we have nine children and are excited to be having the twins as well to complete our family.
"Lastly, none of our children were mistakes, they were all planned and all very much wanted and loved."

Placental Puzzle
Do captured viral genes make human pregnancies possible?
The bond between a mom and her newborn is strong, but it doesn't compare to the connection formed during pregnancy. Soon after conception, the fetus literally invades the woman's uterine wall, acting like a parasite that steals nutrients and oxygen from its host.

Gold plated sushi? Are you serious?
Gold plated sushi is the newest ridiculous sushi trend
If there was an Olympics for over the top sushi, this roll would take gold. This roll has 12 different ingredients from all over Japan, squished together in a cacophony of sound and taste. Available at Shinjuku Isetan in Japan, this is one spectacular creation.
So what do just under a 100 bucks get you?
• Tuna from Oma, Aomori
• Japanese puffer fish from Hyogo
• Red sea bream from Nagasaki
• Longtooth Grouper from Nagasaki
• Oval squid from Nagasaki
• Kuruma prawn from Ehime
• Steamed abalone from Miyazaki
• Boiled conger eel from Miyazaki
• Boiled horsehair crab from Hokkaido
• Salted herring roe from Hokkaido
• Salmon roe pickled in soy sauce from Hokkaido
• Raw sea urchin from Hokkaido
Oh, and we can't forget, it's all rolled up in gold leaf. Pure conjecture, but we're guessing after the 9th ingredient they realized that the nori wasn't going to cut it and went to reinforce with metal!
The Guiness Book of Records most expensive sushi
You might think a hundred bucks is a lot for a sushi roll. Try 20 times that. Here's the incredible Chef Angelito Araneta Jr. with a roll that costs $1,978! Pink salmon, foie gras… 20-carat diamonds… Palawan pearls… wait a second, this doesn't sound like sushi!
Sushi gets pricy. Whether it's the most expensive tuna, or 200 bucks a pop puffer fish, you can start to rack up a pretty hefty bill.
The biggest sushi roll you have ever seen
This is the biggest sushi roll I have ever seen! The Sushi Chef Institute created it for a sushi festival, and the massive roll brought smiles to the face of everyone who witnessed it in all its splendor.
Is it just me, or is smaller sometimes better with sushi? This gargantuan roll is the complete opposite of sushi on a single grain of rice. It's also quite unlike the delicious, simple sashimi and nigiri I prefer. Still, look at the size of that knife! Crocodile Dundee would be proud.
Check out this video of the biggest sushi roll you've ever seen
To be honest, this massive roll doesn't even feel like sushi to me. The fact that you have to cut it in half ruins it for me. Won't it just fall apart when you try to eat it? On the other hand, this is for a festival and was created for the purpose of having fun. This is not a traditional sushi roll and should not be judged as such. If it made people smile and want to try sushi, it served its purpose!
The chefs look incredibly happy to be making it. This is not a serious roll for a traditional sushi restaurant. It is a novelty created for the festival and should be treated as such.
Colorful, vibrant, and incredibly messy, I have to admit I would dig right in! While the experience of eating sliced sushi would be a little odd, it's hard to go wrong with delicious ingredients.
If you like big things, you'll enjoy the biggest sushi scallop in the world!
Sushi made from crickets? Miya Sushi takes sustainability to the next level
I never thought I would see anything like this. I've seen spam sushi, rainbow sushi, even sushi donuts, but nothing like this! Miya Sushi might just be way ahead of their time. Their crazy menu pushes the boundaries, and even the most adventurous restaurateurs may meet their match! The restaurant is created with an incredible message at its heart. Miya Sushi's vision of the future is of a world where by 2150 we will find a sustainable balance with nature. That means eating less animals, humane farming practices, and a celebration of the planet we live on. It also means a focus on foods that have the smallest impact on their environments, and fighting invasive species by eating them!
This cricket sushi roll pushes culinary boundaries
Even the most adventurous eater is going to be shocked by some of the dishes. The Crickleberry Brie sushi is chock filled with protein – from an outlandish source. Crickets!
When you compare the ecological impact of farming cows or other large livestock, the difference is outstanding. Bugs offer a highly economical protein alternative. High in nutritional value and filled to the brim with protein, some say that bug farming is going to be a major industry in the future. Bug farms take much less space than conventional farms.
Would you be willing to try the Crickleberry sushi? Or is it simply too far out to even taste? I'm not sure if I would like it, but I would be willing to try! I mean, really, is it so different to eat escargot? Why are some bugs considered delicious and others disgusting? Having an open mind when it comes to food is important. But even an open minded eater might have trouble with cricket sushi!
Sushi made from invasive species
Some sushi restaurants serve seafood that have sustainability concerns. Miya Sushi does the opposite. Head Chef Bun Lai is an expert in turning invasive species into delicious dishes. What do you do when you are faced with invasive species? You eat them!
Miya Sushi has an entire section of the menu dedicated to Invasive Species. Mugwort, knotweed, and various other weeds are all invasive plants that chef Bun Lai has managed to turn into incredible creations. And that's not all. In addition to plants, chef Bun Lai uses invasive seafood expertly. Sashimi options include nine-spice invasive asian carp sashimi and kiribati sashimi, which uses lionfish. The image above is of the carp sashimi. It is prepared using traditional methods, frozen in the same way that Inuit people continue to freeze carp based on their traditional methods. This chef can take any invasive species and make a dish out of it. Catfish is another invasive seafood which he pairs with asparagus, apricots, and black beans to create a truly wild dish.
Miya Sushi deconstructs the food chain
Currently, a third of wild caught fish is turned into fish feed for carnivorous fish. The concept of Miya Sushi is to go right to the bottom of the food chain and work upwards to find seafood that is both sustainable and has a low impact on the environment. This means specializing in herbivores such as catfish, tilapia, and carp.
When you eat fish at Miya Sushi, you can be sure you are making an ethical choice. Every ingredient in their cooking has been meticulously studied to see its effect in the broader environment. An example are their shrimp and prawn offerings. Instead of using wild caught tropical shrimp that have an extreme bycatch ratio, they use Florida shrimp and Alaskan spot prawns that have little to no impact in terms of bycatch.
Miya Sushi's concepts haven't hit the mainstream yet
While many consumers are becoming more concerned with sustainability and the ethics of the foods that they eat, the concepts of Miya Sushi have yet to become truly mainstream. While the head chef of Miya Sushi has specialized in turning invasive species into delicious dinners, most chefs are trained in more traditional recipes. It takes a huge amount of willpower and courage to create a restaurant as wild and unique as Miya Sushi. We wish them all the best in continuing to serve up tasty and sustainable dishes! If you are interested in sustainable sushi, you may be interested in reading our guide to eating sustainable sushi.. It doesn't get much more sustainable than invasive species sushi!
Mexican Sushi isn't just sushi burritos!
What exactly is Mexican sushi?
Mexican sushi is the unlikely combination of Mexican cuisine and Japanese sushi. When you think of traditional sushi, you think of artistry in simplicity, and quality ingredients showcased in the best way possible. Mexican sushi is all about spice, crunch, and often a trip to the deep frier. Think explosive flavor and instead of pricey tuna sashimi, picture cream cheese and spice. We aren't just talking sushi burritos. Almost all sushi burritos are just changing the shape of the roll. We're talking a whole new way of looking at sushi. Think this is just a passing fad? Think again. Some of these restaurants have been around for over four years! You can't stay in business that long as a restaurant without clientel.
What is in a Mexican sushi roll?
Mexican sushi rolls, which are often shortened to mexi rolls, are a far sight different from their traditional counterparts. You might find a roll filled with white tampico, a crab salad, cream cheese, and tempura shrimp. You're definitely going to find rolls revolving around steak, cooked chicken, cooked shrimp, cream cheese, and avocados imported straight from Mexico. You will find rolls with fresh cilantro, and more heat than you can handle with the jalapeño and sriracha sauces that are often drizzled on top.
Cream cheese is the biggest trend in most of these Mexican sushi restaurants. If you want to try breaded and deep-fried sushi, then this trend is for you! While those who enjoy authentic sushi and simple fare probably will not enjoy the combination of sushi and Mexican food, people with an adventurous pallet might be pleasantly surprised! While you might be hesitant, can it really hurt to try new things? If you like both Mexican food and sushi, can it be so crazy that the two combined could produce something tasty?
Where can you find Mexican sushi?
If you're lucky enough to live in L.A., you're in the right spot for Mexican sushi rolls. Even thought their popularity is mostly confined to southeast L.A., restaurants like "Senor Sushi" have popped up in Phoenix Arizona! The picture above is of their "Rock and Roll", sushi roll from their website, which has assorted fresh fish, avocado, cucumber, and spicy authentic Ponzo sauce. Who would have thought that Mexican and sushi would mix?
Critics of Mexican Sushi are looking at the trend the wrong way. If you're looking for a healthy and refreshing meal, stick to traditional sushi. If you want to indulge in deep fried rolls stuffed with hot cream cheese and meats with a kick to it, try out Mexican sushi. I personally prefer more authentic styles of sushi. Luckily, most Mexican sushi restaurants also offer traditional Mexican food, which is absolutely delicious!
Sushiburger – the newest sushi craze to hit the internet!
Want a burger without breaking the diet? Sushi burger has your back! Everyone knows sushi is a low calorie option compared to fast food, and sushi burgers are the latest trend to blow up insta and fb, with restaurants competing to make the best sushi burger around. While sushi burgers are just now seeing massive popularity thanks to the internet, some commentators say they have been around for years.
I've never seen them before. Have any of our readers tried a sushi burger? Would love to hear what you think of them. Check out how it's made in the video below.
All I know is I want to try it! If anywhere near me offered a sushi burger, I know it would be it's most popular dish – at least until the internet craze dies down. This is one of the most fun sushi ideas we've seen! Of course, purists are going to turn their nose at the sushi burger, but if you don't mind something silly and fun it could be quite delicious. Sometimes I want a burger but don't want to feel the self-loathing and uncomfortable fullness after I polish off a massive meal…
If I am craving sushi, I think I'll go for something a little more traditional. But if I wanted to try something new, hell yeah I'd chow down on a sushiburger. If you liked looking at sushi burgers, you're going to love checking out Rainbow Sushi!
Rainbow sushi is dazzling the internet
You may have ordered a rainbow roll before at a restaurant. The newest trend in sushi, however, is not rolls with a selection of seafood to give the roll an appealing colour, but something altogether different – the use of natural ingredients to bring colour to the rice itself! While the taste shouldn't be much different (we hope) than regular sushi, you have to admit that the new trend is aesthetically beautiful.
Sushi is as much art as it is food, and seeing new ways of presenting my favourite dishes are always fun, even if in this case it's a little wild!
Some crafty creators of rainbow sushi have ditched food colouring altogether to create all-natural hues. A popular way to make a brilliant yellow, for example, is the use of tumeric. Tumeric is part of the ginger family, and we all know that sushi is often served with ginger slices. I'm not so certain how adding it to the rolls itself would affect the taste! I think I'd prefer my ginger on the side…
Rainbow sushi might be nice to look at, but if you ask me, I'll stick to plain rice. Maybe I'm just not adventurous enough! Would you be willing to try rainbow sushi?

Being in the state of Florida, students from Florida International University's Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine see one of the most diverse patient populations in the country. See how FIU is using Canopy Medical Spanish to prepare its students.
This article is a few months old, but should not be forgotten as its message is of consequence. The number of Latino Doctors is not keeping pace with the population.
"Spanish-speaking patients make up a large portion of the demographic with whom I work with on a daily basis.... By increasing our numbers of Spanish speaking practitioners, we lessen the divide between our Spanish speaking patients."
This short article draws attention to importance of fostering a generation of doctors who are equipped to communicate with their patients in Spanish. The importance of communication with patients and instruction in Spanish should be emphasized in undergraduate institutions.
Meet Arthur J. Engler, PhD, RN. Art is an Associate Professor at the University of Connecticut School of Nursing. His academic areas of interest include psychiatric/mental health nursing, and neonatal tertiary care and pediatric primary care. Professor Engler is a member of NAHN, and is passionate about providing nursing students with the skills to communicate with Spanish-speaking patients. He is a nationally certified Bilingual Health Care Provider. We had the pleasure of speaking with Professor Engler a bit about his career, experiences and impetus for teaching a medical Spanish course at UConn, and experience with Canopy's Medical Spanish Training Course.
Last week, we hosted webinar on how to communicate a Spanish speaking patient during a physical exam. Our co-host was the American Medical Students Association (AMSA). The webinar was watched simultaneously by medical students all over the country and was led by Dr. Cynthia Santos, MD.
Canopy Apps had the honor to run a 1 hour Medical Spanish workshop at the American Medical Student's Association EFPC Philadelphia Conference on Saturday, October 12th, 2013.
We are excited to announce a special initiative with the American Medical Students Association.
Canopy Apps in partnership with Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine will presenting the popular Canopy Medical Spanish at the 2013 OMED Osteopathic Medical Conference & Exposition in Las Vegas, Nevada on September 30 - October 2, 2013.

At approximately 7:40 p.m. the evening of Wednesday,June 15, 36-year-old Nelson resident Brett K. Armstrong was killed in a logging accident, one mile into the woods behind 3926 Old State Road in Nelson.
According to a report released by the Madison County Sheriff's Office, Armstrong was a professional logger, working on private property with permission from the owner. As Armstrong downed a tree, it fell into a nearby tree, causing an approximately 15-inch thick limb to break from the standing tree and strike him.
Armstrong was pronounced dead on the scene, and was transported to the Onondaga County Medical Examiner's Office. Although Armstrong was wearing protective safety gear, the falling branch caused multiple traumatic injuries. Following an autopsy and investigation by Madison County Sheriff's Deputies, the incident was ruled an accident.
Armstrong was born in Cooperstown Oct. 17, 1974, and studied at SUNY E.S.F, receiving his degree in 1997. He started his own business, Back Forty Habitat and Timber Management, and was an active member of the Peterboro Conservation Club as well as the New York Forest Owners Association.
Funeral services have been scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, June 22, at the United Methodist Church on Lincklaen Street in Cazenovia.
Calling hours were held from 3 to 7 p.m. at Dimbledy, Friedel, Williams and Edmunds Funeral Home, located at 365 West Main St. in West Winfield.

Thanks T. Actually, that one point was pretty much the whole reason for the OP.
Another interesting stat was that the average life expectancy in China in 1950 was 44 years old (!!)
Honestly though...I put very little faith in models.
Don't take it badly, but i think that the real problem is that it creates a generation of selfish people... i have 4 sisters, one of the 1st thing who came in my education was to share... not sure that it's what parents give to their children here... maybe i'm wrong what do you think?
1 child policy sucks
i can't imagine how miserable my parents would be if they only had me
@ Tara got your point, and i respect your arguments, but they didn't convinced me...
i wanna hear what the others thinks...
lol. 无名子 is Dando for sure, but because he has adopted a different handle and avatar here he is no longer tied to the personality constraints of his alter ego: 't3h BW'. Closer to his RL persona? Who can say...? [Well...I know a few names but they wont be mentioned here... ;) ]
In other news...
At best, NGOs and private orgs may be able to 'fudge' statistics in a certain direction based on their knowlege of the reliability of prior released gubbermint figures. That is to say, where they see a government department has consistantly underestimated/overestimated values, these may be adjusted to reflect a more "RL" scenario..but this is in the very best case. Otherwise its just another case of "rubbish in, rubbish out", and thats without even accounting for rubbish processing / analysis.
Dando, the day you transcend trolldom is the day you welcome angry sky beard papa back into your black heart. lol
I don't think it's even necessary to fudge the data to deceive people.
Sorry, in this circumstance I meant fudging to actually reflect a more realistic image of the state of affairs. (As in the case of untrustworthy data which has then been 'moderated' or conservatively nudged somewhat, in either direction, to produce a more likely or reliable finding. Government statistics are, afterall, as much about face as the audi in the official's parking slot.) Knowing when, where and how gov stats lie is to know when how and where to moderate data so as to eventually arrive with better insight.
But sure...messiness and conveluted means are the middle names of any 'pr0' analyst, which is what I meant by the potential for rubbish analysis and thus further distancing from reality.
Well..that's exactly what analysts do...
If you have "pure" and correct data, you dont need to do any of this. It is only when dealing with human error (and not the negligable kind, the willful falsification type), incomplete results or knowingly incorrect data that anyone should do this.
if the results do not conform with our default hypothesis, there's always some way to moderate them to get the more reasonable / acceptable output.
Oh dear.... I wont comment on this. Breaks every rule in the book and goes against the very foundations of science. Leave that nugget out of your next sales pitch ;)
After all, the variables are chosen by people and there' s no way to have all the relevant variables without any auto-correlation, meaning there's no perfect model to simulate the RL senarios.
The only perfect model to simulate RL is RL, and if its a simulation it's not RL, so... really there is and never will be any perfect model. All you need to do is look at the weather models that MIT and Berkely's greatest boffins try to come up...they all suck balls.
little incentive for academics to do so in China
seems to apply to nearly areas of academia here :/
^ Cameron, Lisa; Erkal, N.; Gangadharan, L. & Meng, Xin (2011), Little Emperors—Behavioral Impacts of China's One-Child Policy (University of Melbourne).
"those who grew up as only children as a consequence of the (one-child) policy (in China) are found to be less trusting, less trustworthy, less likely to take risks, and less competitive than if they had had siblings. They are also less optimistic, less conscientious, and more prone to neuroticism."
@tara My lovely, it's not because your arguments didn't convinced me that i won't change of position. I just wanna hear more point of view my sweet. So, Cause i was not convinced, i read several articles, and i just can admit that i was obviously in stereotype... my mistake...
@ tara i think they did consider the environment, it's a basic in sociology... You should probably read the article and the references to accurate your judgment... it's not a hypothesis, it's a conclusion... i have a personnel question, did you study sociology or psychology in uni???
Your experiences and observation are yours, they are related to your environment... This kind of study try to have a global vision. Hard to do, but they try to consider as much as they can a maximum of parameters...
i have too my own vision who can be wrong or right. That's why my 1st post finish by "maybe i'm wrong what do you think?" to build an opinion, i need to hear what the others said and what study said, to collect information, to have more knowledges about the question...
Have a good day my lovely and peace...
excuse me but, who are you to talk in the name of one group? And you definitely don't have the knowledges in sociology. How can you pretend to be right against an argumentation who was conduct by a doctor in sociology... even if you can have an opinion in all areas, i saw that your field is business then talk about business i'll probably believe you in this area... in socio, i'll believe a doctor in socio...
have a good week end... Peace...
obviously you re open like a "jail gate".., miss "who knows everything" i did study psychology and a bite sociology in university...
i love you ;-)
open your mind, be curious, and be cool...
sorry, i just see what you wrote... You're right about the methodology... i'm agree with you... Probably this study have many weak points and the conclusion is probably contestable... I'm just playing with words and doing Sophism with Tara... ;-)
after hearing some stories about WLIB, the forum reading is more fun. but i admit this is irrelevant.
So, on the one side we have an article written by four researchers ( Xin Meng has published extensively on economic issues within China, by the way) by the University of Melbourne, which is not exactly a shady institution. On the other side, Tara, who knows better because she's Chinese and therefore has direct experience of this issue.
Tara on why she knows better because she's Chinese and therefore has direct experience of this issue.:
My experience and observation happen to concern, to the largest extent, the underlying only children group in our generation and it is representative among the well-educated demographic. You wanted to hear what others think, shouldn't this "others" be people within this group who actually grow up with the group, live with the group every day in their lives and understand what they think, instead of some old folks that sit in a office trying to come up a story that caters to another group of people so they could have something to blame?
I'll try to stick to this otherwise I'll get carried away with your idiocies (like not seeing that it's possible to compare Chinese children who grew up as single children and Chinese children who grew up with siblings in the same period. The one-child policy in China is not universal). Basically what people here are reacting against is your way of writing off a legitimate study by denigrating an academic field (Sociology), academic research (old people in offices) and the concept of formal study itself (reading about psychology equals formal education in it). And whilst doing so you champion this salt-of-the-earth direct experience, which is basically just thinly veiled prejudice and egocentrism.
Perhaps a better way of approaching it is that the original post by Alex quoted another academic (which was then relayed by a news outlet, and is arguably less legitimate than the Carter et al. quote), which you supported without casting any aspersions on the legitimacy of the assertion. And yet when an academic source is quoted which contradicts your viewpoint, you challenge the validity of academic study in the area.
Sociology can be used for almost no good at all and shows its true heart in the context of its intended use: surreptitious manipulation of individuals or social groups. It is the psychopath's humanities topic of interest and is at best a navel gazing academic's pedantic fancy, at worst the study of human social weakness and how to exploit it.
Enlightened, fair and transparent leadership has no need for the study of sociology, but I digress...it is good to see Daniel in his place (the wrong), again, and returning to the thread empty handed (and headed) with nothing to add but a shower of spittle to an otherwise interesting discussion. I suppose being in the "education industry" (read: self-important english teacher) he thinks he can set us all right with his snarks and unintelligable taffy phlegm gargling....instead he is just wrong (again).
You cannot say what the study shows and how inadequate it is, whilst also saying that you haven't read it. These things are mutually exclusive.
What you (and in fact everyone, including me) are doing is speculating on the validity of that study, which is fine if you do so within reasonable parameters of probability. If we take that sentence that you've quoted:
those who grew up as only children as a consequence of the (one-child) policy (in China) are found to be blah blah than if they had had siblings.
As you, and I, have not read that study, do you think it's probable that this refers to a methodology that compares one real group to one imagined group (which is, as you have pointed out, an invention of the researchers and so practically worthless), or rather is it more probable that it compares a group of people with no siblings and a group of people with siblings whilst attempting to keep the socialising aspect the same (presumably selecting from same cities, same classes, and so on)?
Put another way, if this study is as logically flawed as you think it is based on the quote cited here, do you think that the various people involved in this study, the university that published it and the academic world that cites it are waiting for someone, like you, on an internet message board to come along and say 'I haven't read this study but it's clearly illogical and flawed'? Surely you can see how petulant you sound?
And on the topic of petulance,
Calm down dear, no one cares.
Pipe TF down and take your pseudo-thoughtful blatherings elsewhere. In your case, petulant refers to the pet sheep that was lent to you pro bono in the hope of liberating your sister.

People keen on building solar panels on their roof tops will no longer have to apply for permits, say planning Minister Van Mechelen.8 September 2008
FLANDERS -- The Flemish Government has decided that people who want to put solar panels on the roof of their home will no longer have to apply for a building permit.
Until now, planning permission was needed if the solar panels covered more than a fifth of the surface of the roof.
Flemish Urban and Countryside Planning Minister Dirk Van Mechelen says the change in policy is to encourage people to use solar energy.
"In Flanders, we think putting up solar panels is good for the environment. We want to promote it through tax incentives. Some people also experienced difficulties obtaining planning permission. We want to do something about this."
The only exception for the new policy is if there are local planning restrictions valid in a particular estate.
In future, people who want to apply for an exemption will be able to do this at the municipal hall. Residents will also no longer have to seek permission from all their neighbours.

Fletcher Chounard 6'0 Epoxy Quark with 5 fin future box setup. Has been surfed twice as a quad in medium sized surf. Absolutely no dings or sun damage with stock F4 fins. 2 months old and draws great lines. I, however have found out I'm just not into epoxy boards as this is the first one I've owned. Dimensions are 6'0, 19'3/4, 2'3/8 with EPS closed cell foam core. - I'm asking 550.00 with no negotiations as this board easily runs 650 - 680 new. Serious inquiries only IM me. However I would be interested in a trade for a twin or quad type fish of similar value.
