Who uses Openevsys?
Users of our software application include human rights NGOs, National Human Rights Institutions, human rights defenders and analysts. We work with over a dozen organizations committed to recording, tracking and analysing human rights violations. For reasons of confidentiality and security, however, we are unable to make this information public.
What languages is OpenEvsys in?
OpenEvsys is currently available in 15 languages: Arabic, Bahasa Indonesia, English, Khmer, Russian, Spanish and Turkish. Different users working on the same database can choose their preferred language. New languages can easily be added. If you're interested in using OpenEvsys but need it in a different language, contact us for more information.
Can I only use OpenEvsys for human rights abuses?
The database software is intended for use by human rights groups, but its flexibility allows for wider use. You may use OpenEvsys for documenting many different kinds of data. Customisation settings allow users to adjust data fields and store additional documents.
Is OpenEvsys safe and secure?
OpenEvsys includes critical security upgrades that protect user data. Source code has been verified by independent auditors, recommendations of this audit have been incorporated. Additional security is dependent on the user. If you need to store sensitive information to your database such as a victim's name who could be put at risk if the confidential record is compromised, you might want to consider hosting with HURIDOCS or offline.
Can I host my own OpenEvsys application?
Yes, users have the option of hosting OpenEvsys directly on their local servers. However, we advise caution in this. Unless you're working on secure servers or offline, the risk of data insecurity is high. HURIDOCS offers hosting for your data as a safer alternative to local hosting.
Can I use OpenEvsys offline?
Yes, OpenEvsys functions offline. However, this diminishes the application's functionality (the Map feature, for example) and the collaboration of multiple users.
Can I upgrade from OpenEvsys to OpenEvsys 2.0?
Yes. OpenEvsys 1.0 and new users should upgrade to the latest version as it features critical security fixes and a more intuitive design.
Can I import data into OpenEvsys?
If your existing database and documentation methods allow for easy import, this is entirely feasible. We recommend you contact us before then so we can offer our recommendations and assistance.
Send us your comments and feedback!
HURIDOCS relies on user testimonials and feedback in order to improve the quality of OpenEvsys and our related services. Let us know how we're doing, report bugs, or send us general feedback on our Contact Us page.
Thank you for getting in touch!

6 January (Part 1) - A simple harassment summary
Journalists like to be spoon fed, they don't have the time to wade through
reams of paper so this is a summary of the key points that led to Kent Police's
perverse decision to refer Councillor Maxine Fothergill's harassment complaint
to the Crown Prosecution Service. If you see the opportunity to direct
influential people to it please link to
• I first became aware that Councillor Fothergill had agreed to pay libel damages to Hayley Warnes and Ray Robson on 21st October 2017. There was no documentary evidence so nothing could be reported on Bexley-is-Bonkers.
• The first hard evidence of a Court appearance came on 13th November when the case was listed in the Queen's Bench Division.
Later that day Councillor Fothergill rang me on my home phone, one of the very few Councillors I had ever given the number. She asked that I meet up with her with a copy of an email she believed Mr. Robson had sent me. At 21:05 the same evening she emailed to ask that I delete that day's blog which referred to the hearing due next day.
20 minutes later I replied that Mr. Robson's email had been sent from Dehli and was totally corrupt on arrival. I also told her that since the Court listing was publicly available elsewhere there did not seem to be much point in removing it from Bonkers.
At 21:37 Councillor Fothergill emailed again requesting removal of the Court listing. There were no more emails until 19th November, six days later.
• Following the Court hearing on 14th November neither of the two litigants provided any information. Nothing was forthcoming apart from a comment by a third party who was in Court. BiB put out a holding blog to that effect.
• The 15th November also failed to bring forth any hard information. Without documentation to prove the case BiB will not publish anything. Instead it could only put out another apologetic holding message. It debated the pros and cons of publishing the news, the balance that must be struck between "troubling" Councillor Fothergill and "not making her situation worse and [at the same time] providing solid facts".
• By late afternoon of 16th November the long awaited litigants' Press Pack arrived; it was huge though for reasons unknown failed to include a copy of the principal libel. A blog was nevertheless prepared.
It began by saying that on balance BiB considered censoring the news was not acceptable but it was essential everything must be backed by documentary evidence. A letter from Councillor Fothergill alleging that "Hayley Warnes and Ray Robson had conspired to damage our [Councillor Fothergill's] business" was published. It was an important part of the libel claim although perhaps not the biggest one.
• One of the most disturbing things about this case was that Kent Police were so very enthusiastic about prosecuting Hayley Warnes on the false evidence provided by Councillor Fothergill. When Ray Robson tried to warn Kent Police that they were making a big mistake and provided evidence to that effect they warned Ray that he might be charged with Perverting the Course of Justice. The blog dated 17th November was devoted to criticising Kent Police who it should be said eventually came to their senses. There was no criticism of Councillor Fothergill in that blog.
• On 18th November 2017 BiB provided details of the likely Court costs as estimated by the solicitor Mark Lewis.
• On 19th November 2017 I emailed Councillor Fothergill to tell her that I had concluded the previous day that I regarded the story as complete and it was time to move on.
I stated that I did not believe I had ever suggested she was dishonest, apart from the libel itself which she had agreed in Court was untruthful. "I really do think it is time to pause if not stop reporting. One of your emails to me was probably in itself libellous bearing in mind the Court ruling. Best probably to draw a line don't you think?"
In a handful of days there had been three holding blogs which said almost nothing, one listing the estimated Court costs, another criticising Kent police and just two which addressed Councillor Fothergill's libel directly - with supporting documentation where necessary.
Believe it or not I was sympathetic to Councillor Fothergill, she had probably been abused by the Tory leadership and Bonkers had supported her. I had respected her request that our meeting on 16th September 2016 be kept secret and the secondary request not to be seen with her in the Council offices.
All correspondence to and from Councillor Fothergill was very civilised.
Councillor Fothergill replied by email later the same day to again ask for all the blogs to be removed. She said if we met she would be able to tell me the truth of the matter.
She also suggested I had made something up. I provided the evidence that I had not.
I did not want to be further involved, the property business is complex and the only thing of interest was the accuracy of the Court reporting. Except that Councillor Fothergill's Court agreed apology was distributed at the end of the month the Fothergill story was finished.
Councillor Fothergill wanted to extend the public discussion and defend herself with what she called the truth. I was determined that the news item was ended. Her 'truth' had not been accepted in Court. The case had been reported accurately and it was in no one's interest to carry on.
• It was with considerable surprise that on 8th December I opened a letter from Councillor Fothergill's solicitor which at first reading looked to be threatening. However more careful study showed that not to be the case. It merely asked for a link to UKIP Bexley's website to be removed. In the solicitor's opinion UKIP's site was libellous, Bexley is Bonkers was not. The solicitor recognised that BiB had practiced simple news reporting, It would appear that Kent Police believes that to be criminal.
• Because Councillor Fothergill had reopened the subject of the dubious behaviour that had led to the libel claim Bexley is Bonkers posted another blog on 9th December, 10th December and 11th December. They were not entirely complimentary but nevertheless argued that contrary to UKIP's assertions Councillor Fothergill had been foolish, not corrupt.
• On 12th December the subject was closed down for the second time despite a good deal of unflattering material remaining unpublished.
• Councillor Fothergill chose to go to the police. A month after rejecting BiB's first offer to close the subject down.
• It is probable that Councillor Fothergill is attempting to include the reports of her guilty verdict by the Code of Conduct Committee in 2015. However each of the reports has long been prefixed by a notice that makes it clear that she was the unfortunate victim in that case.
The compromise arrangement instituted on BiB's initiative in the late Summer of 2016 was formally agreed with Councillor Fothergill at a clandestine meeting - where I bought all the drinks! - on 16th September 2017.
With minor clarifications it (see below) has been there ever since without complaint. Suddenly it becomes harassment!
blog below is one of several relating to Bexley Councillor Maxine Fothergill and
Bexley Council's Code of Conduct Committee. This
note aims to make it clear that the events reported between December 2015 and
the Summer of 2016 whilst accurate reflections of various events, disciplinary hearings and sanctions
brought against Councillor Fothergill they are individually insufficient to explain the whole story.
Two members of the Bexley-is-Bonkers team met with Councillor Fothergill at a secret location on 16th September 2016 where she explained to us what had really happened. She was able to convince us that she was the victim of a miscarriage of justice.
There were compelling reasons why Councillor Fothergill should be believed. It seemed likely that the Tory High Command in Bexley had taken revenge on her because Councillor Fothergill had reported one of their associates to the police for theft.
Councillor Fothergill requested that the explanatory note prefixed to relevant blogs (which first went on line a few days earlier) be further strengthened so that readers are fully aware that reported events, whilst accurate at the time, did not reflect her innocence and that Bexley Council's charge of misconduct and "gaining a financial advantage for herself" was malicious.
This is a modified version of the note Councillor Fothergill asked to be placed here.

August 03, 2016
Sir, Professor Angus Deaton writes: "The 'what works' agenda also runs of the risk of replacing what (local) people want by what (often foreign) technocrats think they ought to have. It is these unintended consequences that explain why many projects succeed while the country fails." "There is a solution to the aid dilemma" August 3.
What if one of these foreign technocrats would tell a developing country the following:
"You should require your banks to hold more capital against what is perceived as risky so that it earns higher risk-adjusted returns on its equity on what is perceived as safe, like the government and the financing of houses; and so that they stay away from lending to the risky, like SMEs and entrepreneurs."
With that these foreign bank regulation technocrats would de facto have told a developing country that it must foster risk aversion among its banks. Absolutely crazy! To give a developing country such recommendations is criminally dumb, but that is precisely what the Basel Committee has and is instructing.
Of course these regulations affects developed countries too, as it hinders them from further climbing up the ladder of development, but, in their case, they have at least reached an fairly reasonable height… although that also means the fall could be bigger.
In October 2007, in the High-level Dialogue on Financing for Developing at the United Nations, I protested this regulatory risk aversion... but no one really wanted to listen.
PS. Let me quote the following from John Kenneth Galbraith's "Money: "whence it came, where it went" (1975):
"For the new parts of the country [USA's West]… there was the right to create banks at will and therewith the notes and deposits that resulted from their loans…[if] the bank failed…someone was left holding the worthless notes… but some borrowers from this bank were now in business...[jobs created]
It was an arrangement which reputable bankers and merchants in the East viewed with extreme distaste… Men of economic wisdom, then as later expressing the views of the reputable business community, spoke of the anarchy of unstable banking… The men of wisdom missed the point. The anarchy served the frontier far better than a more orderly system that kept a tight hand on credit would have done…. what is called sound economics is very often what mirrors the needs of the respectfully affluent.
The function of credit in a simple society is, in fact, remarkably egalitarian. It allows the man with energy and no money to participate in the economy more or less on a par with the man who has capital of his own. And the more casual the conditions under which credit is granted and hence the more impecunious those accommodated, the more egalitarian credit is… Bad banks, unlike good, loaned to the poor risk, which is another name for the poor man."

We are only into the sixth week of 2010, and we are about to get our third romantic comedy this weekend in the form of Garry Marshall's Valentine's Day. With the eponymous holiday coming up on Sunday, you can be sure that boyfriends around the world will be dragged to see the ensemble film. Come Monday, however, studio executives over at Warner Bros. won't be expecting said guys to be gushing about the film to their friends: they know who their target audience is, and it ain't the ones with dangly parts. It doesn't exactly come off as manly to admit to your friends that you cried a bit when the dreamboat finally admitted his everlasting love to the 30-something workaholic who always put her job before her love life. So what about romantic comedies that man can actually admit to seeing and owning without committing a man violation? You're in luck, because I have thought of fifteen of them.

In Britain we are renowned for our love of animals. One need only glance at the TV to see a myriad of programmes covering the bizarre and the beautiful, and the majesty of the natural world. However, one animal is currently splitting opinion in the UK – The Eurasian Lynx.
The lynx became extinct in Scotland in the Medieval period and there is now an ongoing debate as to whether they should be reintroduced. The proposed plans put forward by the Lynx UK Trust would see the release of 18 of these enigmatic predators into Scottish Woodland following similar reintroductions throughout Europe. Proponents of the plans have argued that the lynx will predate on pest species such as the large deer population and on invasive (species not originally from the UK) species such as muntjac and rabbits. In doing so, this could reduce the economic damage inflicted on forestry, for example, by reducing the number of deer fences.
However, there are problems with this argument. It has been 1,300 years since the lynx went extinct, and their reintroduction would likely have similar effects to introducing an invasive species. Invasion biology (the study of invasive species) is as yet unsure as to how to predict the effects such an introduction. For example, whilst a recent British Deer Society Commissioned Report concerning lynx in Europe puts forward a variety of potential prey species, it is very difficult to predict what species a particular introduced animal will predate upon. This was witnessed in a biological control attempt across the tropics in which the rosy wolf snail was introduced to islands in an attempt to remove the invasive giant African snail. This snail predated both on the invader but now also severely threatens endangered native species despite our best efforts. Indeed, one of the few unifying conclusions that can be drawn from invasion biology is just how unpredictable introduced species can be.
However, this unpredictability may work in favour of the lynx. Indeed, sometimes introduced species can have a positive effect on the ecosystem. Take for example the recent reintroduction of wolves to the breath-taking Yellowstone national park. The wolves predated on massive elk populations, causing these populations to relocate, thereby reducing grazing on willow trees which beavers need to survive. As a result, beaver populations have increased, and in doing so they have changed the hydrology of the rivers throughout Yellowstone thanks to their damn building. This cascade effect has been positive so far, but it all came as a complete surprise to park managers and biologists alike.
Despite this, concerns have been raised over the cost of such an endeavour. Whilst there have certainly been many successful reintroduction attempts for other species, for example the spectacular return of red kite populations to the UK, many are less successful. Critics have argued that the lynx, an animal of "least concern" on the IUCN Red List (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) is not worth the cost of reintroduction, especially when success is far from guaranteed and given that the final outcome may in fact be negative.
In order for these plans to go ahead the Lynx UK Trust needs the permission of the Scottish Natural Heritage. Even if these plans are approved, I would implore the Lynx UK Trust to first wait and see the fate of European introductions. Whilst these lynx populations are currently stagnating, it is important to remember that species introductions often include a lag phase before a rapid expansion. We are given the rare opportunity to observe the full range of impacts of this introduced species before we commit ourselves. Let us take this opportunity and wait until the European lynx saga has run its course.

The other day from a taxi window, I saw a Cedele restaurant up high in Wheelock Place. It looked like it would make a nice place for breakfast with a view and Cedele has a range of breakfast options, including gluten free meals, so that's where we decided to go to start the day. The selection of food is amazing, and the food itself is ok, though Erin's eggs look far from cooked. But the view is the winner.
We spend a few hours browsing the shops and then I'm cheered up by the sight of The Hokkaido Ice Cream Company, who make my beloved black sesame ice cream. I couldn't talk Erin into it unfortunately, but I tell you – you gotta try it!
We were aiming to dine at the food hall in Takashimaya, but unfortunately everyone else has the same idea and there's no way we are getting a table, so we'll have to choose somewhere else. You may think much of my time in Singapore is about eating – and well, it is. Singapore is a food lover's paradise. There's nothing you can't dine on here and celebrity chef, after celebrity chef has a restaurant here – Wolfgang Puck, Tetsuya, Luke Mangan, Joel Robuchon and Jamie Oliver! And then there's the hawker stalls, the snack bars, dessert bars open til 2am, the wet markets, the cake shops! Chinese, Peranakan, Malay, Indian, French, Italian, Japanese, Australian, English, Irish, Russian! It's so hard to make a food decision, do you go for an awesome place you found last time or do you try something new in town. And places change so quickly, what's there today, might not be next month! It's food everywhere you look and it's all good. So you just end up eating all the time.
Crossing Orchard Road to shop at Somerset 313, is a restaurant lined approach to the ground floor of the mall. It features a host of funky little eateries. I've dined at Oriele a couple of times, but today we try JiBiru which is a Japanese beer house. The waiter has obviously had a big night or has other things on his mind, cause he mixes up our beers (which normally wouldn't be an issue except Erin is allergic to mango and that's what he's given her) and the set lunch he talks us into is not better value than what we were going to choose anyway. The manager shakes his head as he proceeds to the next table to muck up their order also.
Just as well the beer is refreshing and my curry rice hits the spot.
Today the Singapore heat is back in full force and we've taken about half a dozen steps before we are sweating like pigs. With the countdown to our flight beginning, it's time to head back to the hotel. Slowly. Very slowly.
Normally taxi rides in Singapore aren't an issue, but today (and just because my puffy red eyes are still making me feel like crap), its about to be. A flash looking taxi arrives in the hotel driveway and the bellhop goes over to him, chatting in some language I don't understand, before motioning us into it. Wary of the fancy taxi and the fact I'm on the last of my holiday dollars, I ask the bellhop whether the taxi will cost more. "Oh no", he assures me "maybe $20/$25 max". Well that is more than the $15/$20 we usually pay to get between the airport and most city hotels, but it's the last day, so what the heck.
Arriving at the airport, you can imagine my surprise when the driver says "that'll be $33, but we'll just round that up to $35. It's not that much difference!" Um, yes. Actually, it is. "It might not be to you, but we've just paid double what we normally do!" I huffed at him. "It's all good". No, no its not and your taxi company will be finding out about it when I get home!
Thank goodness for…
The Butterfly Garden
I guess most people who have visited Changi will know about its gardens. In all my travels through, to and from Singapore, I've never actually stopped to have a look myself. So today I'm going to change that with a trip to the Butterfly Garden. There are all sorts of stunning butterflies making their home here – and an abundance of children chasing them around. I'm sorry but parents – WTF?
Their colourful little wings flit open and closed as they hop from leaf to stamen, seemingly without a care in the world, except for the trail of children chasing them. Anyway, there is also an amazing orchid garden and a cactus garden hidden within the confines of this fine airport, so they'll be for checking out next time.
I can't believe it's time to leave Singapore again. I say it every time. I know. There's so much more to do here and frankly I'm not sure I'll ever do and see it all. But I've had such an amazing trip and thankfully I know I'll be back soon enough.

Chief petty officer
This article's lead section does not adequately summarize key points of its contents. (October 2010)
A chief petty officer is a senior non-commissioned officer in many navies and coast guards.
"Chief petty officer" refers to two ranks in the Royal Canadian Navy. A chief petty officer 2nd class (CPO2) (premier maître de deuxième classe or pm2 in French) is equivalent to a master warrant officer in the Army and Air Force, and chief petty officer 1st class (CPO1) (premier maître de première classe or pm1) is equivalent to a chief warrant officer in the Army and Air Force. In spoken references, chief petty officers may be addressed as "chief" but are never addressed as "sir".
"Chief Petty Officer" is the second highest non-commissioned rank in the Royal Australian Navy.
Fleet chief petty officer is a commissioned and gazetted rank in Pakistan Navy above chief petty officer and below master chief petty officer. It is equivalent to the Pakistan Air Force warrant officer and the Pakistan Army subedar.[1]
United KingdomEdit
In the Royal Navy, the rank of chief petty officer comes above that of petty officer and below that of warrant officer class 2, which is being phased out. It is the equivalent of colour sergeant in the Royal Marines, staff sergeant in the Army, and flight sergeant in the Royal Air Force.
United StatesEdit
Chief petty officer is the seventh enlisted rank in the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard, just above petty officer first class and below senior chief petty officer. Chief petty officers are classified as senior non-commissioned officers. The grade of chief petty officer was established on April 1, 1893 for the U.S. Navy.[2] The U.S. Congress first authorized the U.S. Coast Guard to use the promotion to chief petty officer on 18 May 1920.[3]
Unlike petty officer first class and lower rates, advancement to chief petty officer in the U.S. Navy not only carries requirements of time in service, superior evaluation scores, and specialty examinations, but also carries an added requirement of peer review. A chief petty officer can only advance after review by a selection board of serving master chief petty officers, in effect "choosing their own" and conversely not choosing others.[4]

Sound Team @ The Troubadour
Thanks to Rock Insider, The Content knew it was important to show up early and catch Division Day's opening set. Unfortunately, we were minus a camera upon arrival to the Troub (Casey saved the day by bringing her camera a bit later). Division Day had an amicable pop feel that made me appreciate the sunny weather around me, and created some nostalgia for my high school music collection (I mean this as a compliment).
[mp3] Division Day - Tap- Tap, Click - Click
Next up was Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, who won top prize for being the nicest guys around. The first half of their set remains somewhat of a blur. I enjoyed the music, but didn't gain anything from the vocals. Both singers felt hesitant in front of the mic at first; however, by the second half of the set the band had relaxed, and everything flowed more smoothly.
[mp3] Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin - House Fire
Sound Team was the main attraction for the night, and easily justified their top billing with a sharp, dance-inducing live set that made it hard to believe six people were all playing on stage at once. I'm convinced they are hardwired into each other's brains, because they couldn't seem to miss a note. While there was a lot of sound coming from the instruments, Matt Oliver's vocals always managed to break free from the wall of synth. The band's crisp production left the crowd shaking its tail feathers throughout the set, and The Content went yapping all the way home.

Can't ask for anything more than a hat-trick performance at the Troubadour.

Val and Dez, my pet basil, were becoming a bit overgrown, so at my mom's prodding, I went off to prune them. Gardening how-tos on the net suggested that I snip the stalks down to just 2 sets of real leaves to encourage growth, so I did just that. I have been rewarded by my efforts with 4 leafy sprigs of basil. Not wanting to waste them, I decided to try my hand at making pesto.
I placed the sprigs in a basin, then washed them free of soil. I tore the leaves from the stems, then dried them in the salad spinner. Afterwards, I set them on a kitchen towel to absorb any additional moisture.
I didn't have any pine nuts in the house (not to mention they're horribly expensive for a mere experiment), so I settled for some roasted dried cashews. I chopped them coarsely, then peeled a couple of cloves of garlic.
Because it was my first time ever making pesto, I wanted to try doing it the traditional way, that is by mortar and pestle.
Which I did. 15 minutes later, I realized I wasn't even 1/5 of the way into finishing. My arm was hurting, and it was so much effort for 2 tablespoons of pesto paste, so I decided to…
…grab our trusty mini-food processor and blend away, NYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Cheating notwithstanding, I'm pretty happy with the experiment. I made one bottle of pesto which will last me for quite some time, and I didn't have to spend anything at all! It's even extra special because I loaded it with lots of freshly shaved parmesan. Wheeee!
Was it worth it? Definitely. A cup of freshly made pesto, spread on some nice crostini. Happiness.

Who said that those 14 were not Hitler in person? Picking up this gun might have been an act of courage and shooting the Biblical Beast was perhaps the ultimate proof of bravery and personal valour. Marc overcame two taboos in doing it: killing young women (who are supposed to be so pure and innocent) and proclaiming to the world that this was an act of justice beneficial to the male gender.
He killed 14 women who were busy reading Solanas and devising how to exterminate the male gender and hijack our society. He attacked a feminist stronghold where they were planning genocide and gendercide. And now the feminist movement who has approved of Valerie Solanas' gas chambers for killing men, approved of Sally Miller Gearhart's plans for reducing the male population to 10% of the world's population, approved of Mary Daly's dream of gendercide and establishing a female nation, approved of Andrea Dworkin and other academic feminists who were calling for the complete elimination of men, now this feminist movement is lamenting and claiming to be the victim.
Those dreaming of genocide are hardly victims, those advocating gendercide are absolutely no benevolent souls, and those acting as baby killers now and whose mothers and grandmothers demonstrated against Vietnam vets 35 years ago, calling them ''baby killers'' should shut up. Sometimes, I simply feel that Marc was amply justified to open fire against these gendercide planning and infanticide performing furies. If in every man lurks a Marc Lepine, it should also be true that in every woman's heart, dreams of infanticide, gendercide and genocide can be found. By these standards, Marc is hardly the sole guilty one.
Remember those detective stories and criminal novels? Those writing about murder stories and crime fiction always hold a surprise for us at the end. We learn that the mean looking man, the tough guy, the muscular ex-convict was completely innocent. And the real guilty one revealed at the end, always takes us by surprise. It is someone we would never have suspected because he or she looks so innocent, above suspicion. Now who looks innocent? Who is above suspicion? There is a good chance that the one looking SOOO innocent IS in fact the guilty one. Show me an innocent and I will tell you who's guilty right away !
Women look innocent enough, they are the fair sex, the weak sex. Fair? Think again! There is always this concealed knife under the skirt and the poison. One favorite trick of criminal novelists is to reveal at the end that the young woman, looking so pure, was the one who planted the bomb. Fair looking and beauty have nothing to do with goodness of the heart, this we learned about women long ago. Now there is this thing about youth, this misconception that makes us think that because someone is young, that she is also pure, innocent and good. This is often far from the truth. Take a child for instance. He or she could easily become a murderer. We have seen eight to ten years old boys kill a toddler with absolutely no remorse. Children can kill their parents while they sleep. We have seen young girls from nine to thirteen set fire to their home without hesitation. A child, any child can become a criminal.
Innocent looking has a lot to do with appearent weakness, helplessness. Readers of Horror novels are often appalled to learn at the end that the axe murderer was the loving grandmother, who looked like such a caring human being. Another trick is to learn that the children, especially the little girls wearing an apron, were the ones who killed grandfather and cut him to pieces. In fact the guilty ones are often the innocent looking, those we would never suspect. Now let's make a list of those we would never suspect. Women of course, especially the young ones looking sooo pure, but also older ones: those who look weak and frail. Grandmothers make the scariest of monsters. And now the children. Innocence and youth seem always to go hand in hand, but sometimes nothing is farther from the truth. They look harmless enough, but being young does not mean to be helpless or to have purity of intention either. Young monsters can be lethal also. And now the old ones. Who would suspect grandpa who walks with his cane, with apparently the utmost difficulty, who would suspect him of anything? There is stuff here to write the scariest Stephen King horror novel.
And now, I would ask you to make an effort of imagination, I would ask you to put yourself in the shoes of Marc Lepine for one minute; you have this gun in your hand, you are facing a bunch of innocent looking people, and YOU KNOW DEEP DOWN that quite often the innocent looking ones are the scariest of monsters, WOULD YOU NOT have the temptation to open fire? Would you not believe that among those innocents you will automatically hit A LOT of guilty ones with your volley? Man, you watched too much TV and horror movies! You may be right.
If it is OK for separatist feminists to dream of a world without men and to advocate their total extermination, then it should be OK for masculist nutcases to dream the same. And it should be further Okay that a young man who lost his cool for a moment and grabbed this gun twenty years ago, decided to open fire. Everything is OKAY then, Marc has not done anything wrong at all.
LOSS OF INNOCENCE seems only a tragedy to those who believed in it in the first place, for the rest of us who know what kind of monsters lurk out there, we say: ''don't even bother to ask the questions at all, just shoot them and we'll clean up later''. Are you mad? What are you saying here? Simply that, if you open fire into an innocent crowd, many guilty individuals will be killed. What will you do with the corpses of so many guilty people? But you said yourself that this is an ''innocent'' crowd! Don't you get it, after so much discussion and arguing? There is no such thing as innocence. GROW UP ALREADY!
All right, all-right, let's be extra kind and explain everything again, slowly. Since 20 years more than a dozen books have been published on that very subject of the absence of innocence, that is: no one is innocent, there are only merely degrees of guilt. Which means that, the most one can really hope for is to be somewhat less guilty than his neighbour. Then basically everyone is guilty of something, that is the major finding of the end of the twentieth century. The great difficulty is to accept this new concept, to come to term with the fact that there is no such thing as real innocence.
''THERE ARE NO INNOCENT BYSTANDERS'' and only merely degrees of guilt. Why do you think so many songs and books have been written on the subject? Because it is true, as simple as that. We should not be talking of victims or innocence at all, but rather of casualties of the Polytechnique incident, that's right INCIDENT, and whether these casualties themselves provoked this incident has been successfully demonstrated here.

EU issues warning over ICC Kenya process
Tuesday December 7 2010
The European Union has warned Kenya leaders against politicising the International Criminal Court process.
The 13 EU envoys, at the same time, revealed that investors in their countries were keenly watching how the country will respond to ICC Prosecutor Mr Luis Moreno-Ocampo's move to name the suspected masterminds of the post election violence.
Mr Moreno-Ocampo, who was in the country last week, has promised to reveal the names of six individuals bearing the greatest responsibility for the chaos by December 17.
At a news conference, British envoy to Kenya Mr Rob Macaire said if Kenyans responded to the ICC move 'in the right way' then it will open door for more investments in the country.
"Investors are always wary of the political risk in the country...if the country responds in the right way then it will be good for investment," he said.
The envoys, led by the head of the EU delegation in Kenya Mr Eric Van Der Linden, said it was important that Kenyans avoid violence at this stage and maintain peace.
"Mr Moreno-Ocampo has categorically stated that he is not targeting communities...he is only going for individuals," said Mr Van Der Linden in Nairobi moments after chairing a meeting of the envoys.
"It is important that Kenyans avoid violence... they on the other hand must resist attempts by leaders to politicise or ethnicise the process."
His sentiments comes on the wake of allegations at the weekend that the ICC process was being used to lock out certain politicians from ascending to the Presidency in 2012.
"The ICC process is now a weapon to eliminate William Ruto and Uhuru Kenyatta before 2012," Agriculture assistant minister Kareke Mbiuki stated on Friday.
However, the envoys said the process must go on without interference and hope that the government will uphold its commitment of fully co-operating with The Hague based court to end the culture of impunity.
Mr Van Der Linden was accompanied by British Ambassador to Kenya Mr Rob Macaire, his German counterpart Ms Margit Hellwig-Boette, Mrs Laetitia Van Assum (Netherlands), Mrs Anne Dismor (Sweden) among others.
Mr Van Der Linden also raised concern over the harassment of the ICC witness and other human rights defenders saying this must stop.
Ms Van Assum of the Netherlands said even though the ICC has stated that it will protect its own witnesses, the government should ensure that its witness protection program was up and running.
"We are disappointed that no significant action has been taken to operationalise its witness protection program...we want the government to act as soon as possible," she said.
At the meeting, the envoys also pushed for the quick implementation of the fundamental reforms in the judiciary, police amongst others.
"The timelines set out in the implementation of the new Constitution must also be respected," said Mr Van Der Linden.
They also lauded the 'courageous' leadership of President Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga saying it was going towards the right direction.
With the new Constitution now in place, the challenge, they added, should now be its full implementation, which the two principles must steer effectively.

TELEVISION presenter Lorraine Kelly joined fundraisers to help launch a new £1 million loch-side holiday home for children with cancer.
The Ripple Retreat at Loch Venacher, near Callander, is the brainchild of husband and wife team Ian and Lynne McNicoll OBE.
Tireless Lynne founded the It's Good 2 Give charity in 2010 and carried on fundraising after being diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago.
"Opening the Ripple Retreat is an amazing milestone for our charity," said Lynne.
"It's a luxurious and peaceful living space for a short break to relax, reflect and hopefully enjoy time together."
Lorraine and Lynne were joined by 120 guests at the grand opening of the three-bedroom home, designed by award-winning architect Tony Kettle.
"Our dedicated funders and passionate volunteers have worked tirelessly to deliver something unique which will make an enormous difference to hundreds of people from all over Scotland every year," said Lynne.
"The Ripple Retreat will be a lifeline to families struggling with the devastating effects of a child's cancer diagnosis.
"Families are quickly thrown into despair having their child endure the ordeal of chemotherapy and the ravaging effects of this cruel disease.
"We're extremely proud to launch the Ripple Retreat for all the families we are committed to helping through an immensely difficult time in their lives."
Joining Lynne at the launch was Tabitha Lawson, aged 12, a former cancer patient who received support from the charity at the age of six.
Also there was seven-year-old Alfie Byrne whose sister died from cancer and Kira Noble, aged 13. All three are now Young Ambassadors for It's Good 2 Give.
Forced to take a break from fundraising during her own chemotherapy ordeal in 2015, Lynne has now recovered and is back building the charity.
Firms helping out with the Ripple Retreat include John Dennis Construction, Cundall, Harley Haddow, Kitchens International, James Morrow, Walker Group, Spifox and KDMedia.
The house is stocked with toys, books, games and activities for holidaying children.
It also has fishing rights on the loch, is next to a national cycle path and is ten minutes from Callander.
A landscaped garden by Semple Begg Garden Design was funded by Spifox, the Scottish property charity.
Edinburgh-based It's Good 2 Give offers practical support to families of young cancer patients, from nutritional snacks to ironing vouchers and craft workshops.
In June 2015, Lynne was named an OBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours, collecting her accolade from Buckingham Palace.
She also won the Scottish Institute of Fundraising's Volunteer Fundraiser of the year in 2009 and the City of Edinburgh Council William Y Darling Award for Good Citizenship in October 2014.
Kirsten Speirs, of Murrayfield-based KDMedia, said: "It was very inspiring to see all the effort of Lynne and her army of volunteers come to fruition."

Thousands of illegal immigrants are escaping UK immigration checks, official data reveals.
According to figures obtained by The Sunday Telegraph, 3,527 immigrants absconded after failing immigration checks last year.
Only 846 were found, meaning that around 2,700 immigrants (76%) remained at large in the UK. In 2010, 58% of immigrants were caught after absconding, but last year, this figure fell to around one in four (24%).
However, the number of immigrants who were still at large after failing immigration checks fell from 9,362 in 2010 to 3,527 last year.
Keith Vaz, the chairman of the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee said the figures are a "real concern".
Government will 'tackle' border breaches
A Home Office spokesman said the government takes all breaches seriously and is determined to tackle the abuse of immigration controls.
"Most of these breaches occur when individuals fail to keep reporting appointments," he said. "Nobody has absconded from immigration detention or while under escort in 2013/14.
"We have rigorous security arrangements in place and if an individual does abscond, we work closely with the police and other agencies to locate them. Breaches remain under investigation until the individual has been located or it has been established that they have left the UK voluntarily.
"This causes a time lag in the figures and closure rates for 2013 and previous years will therefore continue to increase as time goes on," he said.
The figures were revealed after The Daily Mail reported this week that one-in-five travellers are not checked against criminal and terror databases due to IT failures.
Such management oversights reportedly result in 20 million passengers escaping proper screening every year.
A report released by leading thinktank the National Institute of Economic and Social Research last year found that UK prime minister David Cameron's pledge to cut immigration levels would have an adverse impact on the economy, reducing GDP by 11%.

A condemnatory look at the factory-farming model that has overpopulated the planet with too many cattle, to the detriment of all involved.
Indignant and sometimes with a holier-than-thou tone, the united Hayes, he an Earth Day pioneer and she an environmental lawyer, decry a system that "treats cows barbarously, even as it ruins some of the best soil on the planet, destroys irreplaceable aquifers, fills the air with warming gases, and creates enormous dead zones at the mouths of rivers." Ground zero for that nefarious activity is Iowa, where the authors do a grim mathematical assessment of the cost in topsoil and corn to keep cows alive and fat long enough to make it to the nearest fast-food restaurant. Cows are necessary, of course; as the authors note, they're essential to the dairy industry, especially inasmuch as "female bison don't take kindly to humans handling their small teats." Necessary or no, the authors attack the systematic mistreatment of cattle on feedlots and in holding pens, with the sentient animals reduced to cogs; cattle enrich us, but their lives are "cruelly diminished in the process." But maybe they don't enrich us after all. As the authors point out, pathogens can be killed by cooking beef thoroughly, but antibiotics can resist heat and can wreak havoc on the human ecosystem; if we are what we eat, then we are similarly diminished. Though their argument is sometimes preachy, and perhaps necessarily so, the authors don't content themselves with jeremiad alone but instead offer positive things one can do. These include spending more on food to buy grass-fed and organic and homegrown, a luxury that of course not everyone can afford, and favoring bison meat over beef, to say nothing of eating less meat to begin with.
Provocative though unlikely to reach far beyond the choir box.

Enough to last to 1992
Nellie Lutcher, Fine Brown Frame.
Julia Lee, King Size Papa.
Both Nellie and Julia have a thing for large men, but while Nellie just likes a well-proportioned guy, Julia likes them big. Let her tell you about it.
Nellie Lutcher came from Lake Charles, Louisiana and, soon after she moved to Los Angeles, she exploded into R&B, having hits with her own material like "Hurry on Down" and "He's a Real Gone Guy." By the end of 1947, she was the second biggest-selling R&B star in the country, dwarfed only by Louis Jordan. People were taken by Lutcher's wild, brilliant phrasing and scatting, which you can hear in the second half of "Fine Brown Frame" as she grows increasingly delirious with lust.
"Fine Brown Frame" comes from a marathon session at year-end '47, in which Lutcher and her band cut two dozen tracks in preparation for what would be a bizarre year in the recording industry. This stockpiling happened in studios across the country, as the head of the Musicians' Union, James Petrillo, had called a recording strike to begin on January 1, 1948. The strike would last until Christmas – it would be the second in six years. The first strike, in 1942-1944, had had catastrophic historical damage, as we lost much of what would have been the transitional records between swing and bebop.
The '48 strike, which was widely violated by many independent labels and which helped create doo-wop (a cappella groups still were allowed to record), marked the end of Petrillo's quixotic battle against a host of enemies, including films, radio, television and the general concept of prerecorded musical performances. As cruel fate would have it, Petrillo lived long enough to see MTV.
"King Size Papa" is a marvelously dirty song. Julia Lee was a generation older than Lutcher, but she hadn't lost her salt. Born in Boonsville, Missouri in 1902, Lee grew up in Kansas City and came of musical age at the height of Kansas City's renaissance, the era of Count Basie and the young Charlie Parker, and gained a reputation for singing the bluest of blue songs, ones that would make "King Size Papa" look meek.
Both songs can be found on this excessive but valuable 4-disc set.

Hainan Airlines Reviews
Hainan Airlines is a China-based airline, specifically in Haikou. The airline is known for being the largest private airline in China. With a total of 153 aircraft in service and 55 in order, they are also China's fourth largest airline based on fleet size.
Today we will be looking at Hainan Airlines reviews to see the if their customers had a good time flying with them.
Origins and Ownership
Founded back in 1989, the airline was originally known as Hainan Province Airlines. It was the first joint-stock airline in China in January 1993. Four months later, the airline commenced their services. The airline bought 25% of stakes in Haikou Meilan International Airport, making it the first airline to own airport shares.
Hainan's current head and Chairman is Chen Feng, a Chinese economist. Born on the 26th of June 1953 in the Shanxi province, Chen Feng studied in Germany and graduated from Lufthansa College of Air Transport Management in 1984. He joined the company in 1990.
What people are saying
Hainan Airlines seem to be doing a very good job for them to earn a total of 8 stars out of 10 in Skytrax's website. The customers are saying nice things such as "the cabin crew was very kind" and "will definitely fly Hainan again".
The airline crew seems to be the strongest asset of this airline, as several passengers commended them for their friendliness and punctuality. Overall, the airline seems to be great at just about everything, from meals to seat quality, it seems that they have been able to meet the passengers' high standards.
The Website
Their website's most prominent colors are red and white, and the layout is nice. Not cramped as with other airline sites. Their buttons and headers are also responsive and the images used were nice and clear.
As with most airlines, online booking is available here. You will find the booking form at the left side of the homepage. Passengers simply have to fill up all the necessary information and click the "Find" button. They will then be taken to the page that displays all the available flights that fit their needs. Online check-in is also available and so is online booking management.
Customer Service
Hainan Airlines has several telephone numbers, depending on your needs and current location. To view them, go to this page. Customers with hearing disabilities may dial 711.
Services Offered
Hainan offers two cabin classes: Business Class and Economy Class. They currently have a total of 90 nonstop flights both domestically and internationally. As for the meals offered, the menu varies depending on your class, the length of your flight and the time of day. Despite this, based on the customer reviews, the meals are always fresh and of high quality.
More About Hainan Airlines
The airline has three hubs: Haikou Meilan International Airport, Beijing Capital International Airport and Xi'an Xianyang International Airport. Their fleet consists of nine Airbus A330-200, thirteen Airbus A330-300, six Boeing 737-700, one hundred and twelve Boeing 737-800, three Boeing 767-300ER and ten Boeing 787–8.

It's obvious why people love this airline: excellent customer service, great food, clean cabins and an overall focus on customers' comfort. For those looking for the perfect airline, book a flight with Hainan Airlines!

Most of all, if you're driving, keep alert for the wackos on the road and stay SAFE!
but he didn't say squat about deer so Murdoc ran over the sumbitch that jumped out in front of us. And only ten minutes from the hotel.
Van out of commission, crew safe.
Continue mission.

Move over "The Emoji Movie" and "The Mummy." Michael Fassbender's new serial killer thriller "The Snowman" is being called the worst movie of the year.
The reviews have been savage. The Globe and Mail called it "completely, atrociously, perhaps even impressively, stupid." Detroit News dubbed it "the most puzzlingly bad movie of the year." The Seattle Times noted, "The first half-hour feels like there's no plot at all, just a highlights reel of Random Norwegian Crime Films In Which Everything Is Ominous and Everyone Looks Really Cold."
It currently holds an 11% Critics Score on Rotten Tomatoes, with audiences ranking it an ice cold 30%.
Director Tomas Alfredson, who previously brought us the acclaimed "Let the Right One In," explained what went wrong. Which was pretty much everything.
He told the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (translated by The Independent). "We didn't get the whole story with us and when we started cutting we discovered that a lot was missing. It's like when you're making a big jigsaw puzzle and a few pieces are missing so you don't see the whole picture."
Alfredson added the the greenlight to shoot came "very abruptly," and that about 10-15 percent of the screenplay wasn't even filmed. Which makes for a lot of plot holes.
Many critics noted that the movie makes no sense and the ending comes out of nowhere. As critic Robert Horton wrote, the story (based on the novel by Jo Nesbø) "might have been confusing even if the movie didn't appear to have been edited with an immersion blender."
It's the latest disappointingly reviewed movie for Fassbender, whose "Assassin's Creed" and "The Light Between Oceans" (with now-wife Alicia Vikander), also failed to impress.
[Via EW, Rotten Tomatoes]
For Detective Harry Hole, the death of a young woman during the first snowfall of winter feels like anything but a routine homicide. His investigation leads him to "The Snowman Killer," an elusive sociopath who continuously taunts Hole with cat-and-mouse games. As the vicious murders continue, Harry teams up with a brilliant recruit to try and lure the madman out of the shadows before he can strike again. Read More

Yesterday, Paul and I taught a 90 minute class at The Greater Springfield Board of REALTORS on "Tips & Tricks to Managing Rental Properties" in Springfield, MO. There were probably 60 REALTORS there to hear what we had to say about managing rental properties, hear our war stories and share theirs. Or maybe they were just there for the free lunch that was served, who knows, but at least they showed up.
What ended up being a great class then turned into several e-mails from attendees later that day requesting more info and such. Which is great as I love reading people's comments on the topic. However, I got one e-mail from a fellow REALTOR that asked me if I really "hated rentals" the way I said I had on one of my online profiles. Wow! How unprofessional of me to make a flippant comment on "hating" rentals.
I guess I should probably change the comment since it really isn't true.
It's actually the bad tenants that drive me crazy! There was a time (before Amanda came on the scene) where I was so inundated with property management phone calls, that every little issue was just a tenant that was whining about something. I was managing about 115 units almost completely by myself while Paul was out selling houses. Come to find out, I was letting the issues and work get the best of me and wasn't managing my job too well. (Hindsight is always 20/20!) So, what started as an office joke about how much I just love rentals and how there is such a thin line between love and hate has now turned into "Jessica Hates Rentals" campaign and therefore it has carried over into my online blogging world. And I never meant for it to.
I'm sure that 600+ units=$30K income is a great thing (although we are not quite there...600 tenants yes, but only 200 actual rental units). And I'm sure that the income in a slow market is most definitely worth it. However, my biggest suggestion is that you have staff in place to assist you as you grow your property management business and a strong procedure/plan in place for how to handle issues as they arise. Kind of like the boy scout motto: "Always Be Prepared". :)
I sure hope that my flippant comment about "hating" rentals doesn't discourage you from getting into property management. It's not all bad and it's actually done me quite well.

When I lived in Owings Mills, I used to drive past the farm every few days...for years. I now live in Pikesville...but my son, DIL and grandchildren live 5 minutes away from the farm, so I still get out there often. One of my favorite drives is across Shawan to Hunt Valley!

WESim – The Water-Energy Simulator – Helps Water and Energy Managers Plan for Change
Authors: Heather Cooley, Lucy Allen, Matthew Heberger, Robert Wilkinson
Pages: 82
The Water–Energy Simulator (WESim) is an easy-to-use analytical tool that can be used to evaluate the energy and greenhouse gas implications of water management decisions. The Excel-based model allows the user to explore a range of possible scenarios, such as increased demand for water resources, the development of alternative water and energy sources, and needed water treatment improvements resulting from emerging contaminants and stricter water-quality guidelines. WESim can be applied by individual water and energy utilities, groups of utilities, and policymakers and decision makers. A WESim User Manual and report, Implications of Future Water Supply Sources for Energy Demands, are provided, as well.
Water provision and use require energy in all phases, from source extraction to the discharge of wastewater. Multiple factors will influence the energy intensity of the water sector in the near future: climate change will affect water supply, quality, and demand, potentially creating a need for new energy-intensive supply and treatment options; population growth, water use patterns, technology, and price all will affect water demand; and emerging contaminants may require more energy-intensive treatment technologies. These trends highlight the need for a clear and consistent methodology for evaluating the energy and greenhouse gas implications of water management decisions.
WESim addresses this need, as a tool that creates a common framework in which to explore alternative scenarios. The model is designed to allow you to input actual operating data on water and energy use, allowing for an analysis that better reflects operating conditions. To facilitate use of the model, defaults for the energy requirements of various components of the water and wastewater system are provided, as well.
WESim was developed by The Pacific Institute and Dr. Bob Wilkinson, with support from the WateReuse Research Foundation, the California Energy Commission, and the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation.
WESim is a Microsoft Excel workbook with a number of macros to facilitate data entry, calculation, and display of results. As you work, the information that you input will be stored in a Microsoft Access database file. The workbook is compatible with Excel 2000 and later versions on PC computers. It has not been tested on Macintosh computers. You must also have Microsoft Access installed on your computer.
