Briefing: parliamentary debate on Grenfell Tower inquiry
By: Steve Akehurst Published: July 2017
This briefing was prepared ahead of the first parliamentary debate on the public inquiry on the Grenfell Tower fire. It includes out view on what the scope of the public inquiry should be and the priorities for national government if they are to re-establish trust with the local community.

Shelter advisors have been working on the ground to help survivors of the Grenfell fire, offering free legal support and housing advice. Our staff are helping residents with the immediate impact of the fire, while our legal team are liaising with authorities to ensure residents' legal rights to be rehoused – both in the short term and long term - are properly fulfilled.
Shelter's priority is to ensure that residents are given assurances about re-housing and that they are meaningfully involved in the inquiry. Our staff have heard first-hand from tenants about the lack of trust that currently exists within the local community. It is imperative that the government does everything it can to gain trust in the inquiry process. Government must take urgent action to residents' involvement in setting the scope of the inquiry, but crucially also on broader issues around rehousing and immigration status.

Kendal, C (2017) The second sister. Harper Collins, London. ISBN 9780007531714
It is ten years since Ella's sister Miranda disappeared without trace, leaving her young baby behind. Chilling new evidence links Miranda to the horrifying Jason Thorne, now in prison for murdering several women. Is it possible that Miranda knew him? At thirty, Miranda's age when she vanished, Ella looks uncannily like the sister she idolized. What holds Ella together is her love for her sister's child and her work as a self-defence expert helping victims. Haunted by the possibility that Thorne took Miranda, and driven by her nephew's longing to know about his mother, Ella will do whatever it takes to uncover the truth no matter how dangerous.

I should have just stayed home today.
I'm sitting at my desk, just scrolling through forums and looking at pretty pictures on photography sites. I don't participate on my usual afternoon Ask.fm spree, because I am too tired to think of answers and all I want to do is close my eyes and sleep.
This morning, I woke up very happy because of some cotton-candy dream I've had, but my happiness dissipated quickly when I stepped inside the bathroom for my morning shower. There, on my inner thigh, was a constellation of pinprick bruises, looking for all the world like pretty red freckles.
Reality came rushing up like a riptide and I suddenly couldn't breathe.
I ran to the mirror and checked every inch of my body. There was a faint sprinkling of the tiny bruises on my chest, on my lower back, and on my arms. And if that wasn't enough, I finally gave up and let myself feel the aching in my joints and the slight-but-always-there nausea that has been beating down my defenses for weeks now.
The world felt like it was dark and screaming but I refuse to let it get me down. I tried putting on a brave face, but in the back of my mind, images of syringes and dark blood running through tubes and pristine white hospital rooms ran like a looped slideshow.
I don't like crying. For me, tears are tools for persuasion, props that you can use whenever you need to get out of tight spots. That means that I can't cry too much, because doing so would risk my cover getting blown. But right now I feel so lost and hopeless and I admitted to myself that I don't always have to be okay.
I remember reading that when life pulls you down like this, you can react in three ways. Let's say your troubles are like boiling water. You can start out soft like an egg and come out hard-boiled. You can start out tough like a carrot and end up in a pulpy mess. Or you can be like tea, loose-leafed and bitter, but when introduced to boiling water it blends in and makes things better.
I don't know about you guys, but I don't buy that crap. I choose to dig in with my heels and hang on with my teeth and refuse to let the bastard (i.e. life) grind me down and change me.
As far as I'm concerned, this is just one of those practical jokes that life seems to love playing on us. So I am going to laugh this off, forget about it, and continue to live out my short life to the fullest. I don't always have to pretend that I'm okay, but I sure as hell am going to try to make the best out of this mess I'm in.
I can't deny that I'm scared of what might happen, but isn't that the point of living? Pain, experience and failures all help in molding us into what we're meant to be. From failures we learn, and by learning we grow.
And, well…I can't wait to see what happens next. 🙂

I grew up in the late 80s/early 90s, when there was still lead in paints, we didn't have to wear seatbelts and parents could smack children. It's a surprise we've all made it this far.
Most things I grew up with have become outlawed (see above paragraph), outdated (mine and my brother's matching shell suits) or outlived (my rabbit). But some things are still, thankfully going strong.
One of my favourite memories is coming home from primary school, racing my brother up the stairs and getting the malt loaf out (for all of you millennials, that's what Soreen was called when I were a wee 'un) and cutting thick slices off, slathering them in butter and bunging it into the microwave for ten seconds. The result? Ultimate gooey goodness. And it was approved by mother for being vaguely healthy (liquorice was also vested this lofty status).
Over Christmas dinner it transpired that the both of us still continue this tradition (minus the racing each other up the stairs), only this time it is actually butter we spread, rather than the hydrogenated-oil rich margarine replacement everyone was so fond of back then. As I said, how did we survive to be this old?
It seems that the people over at Soreen HQ (did you know it's made in Manchester?) either did EXACTLY THE SAME THING WE DID AS KIDS, or just have a lateral thinking product development team who realised 'we need to make different kinds of Soreen, because in this day and age you need a million new products a day to survive as a brand…'. Anyways they've developed pre-sliced loaves, two different types to be exact – one that's toast shaped and one that's just a normal loaf sliced, so toaster lovers and microwaves lovers can both get into the hot Soreen action (sounds slightly wrong – ed).
These pre-sliced loaves are amazing, no more sticky fingers/squashed loaves for me. I'm still finding it hard to decide whether micro-ed Soreen (melty/squidgy) is better than toasted Soreen (slightly crispy on the outside, gooey in the middle). What I do know is that the Festive and the Cinnamon Raisin versions are divine (sadly unsliced), but then again I'd think cinnamon heavy vomit was pretty damn edible – basically, buy them if you like hot cross buns, Christmas and er, cinnamon.
And yep, I've just written a blog post about a processed, pre-packaged fruit and malt loaf, but guess what it's my blog and I'm sick of naval gazing about the mouth feel of frickin' burgers or the way a plate is drizzled with oil. Get over it.
Soreen – available from most corner shops, supermarkets and other grocery type purveyors; or in my lucky case, from my friend who works there.

I sit here and I bleed. It's a long story, let me explain.
Anyway, what happened in band you ask? Well, I was walking out my door
to go to band when Adam yells, "Hey, where you going dude?" I'm going to
band, Adam. He get belligerent.
"Fine! Go to band!" I start walking down the hall, but he continues to
antagonize me. I turn back to him, and still I walk on down the hall, but
backwards, to yell something angry and hurtful. Instead….
…Carl rushes me from Jeff's room off to my left. It jolts me but
I recover and knock him out. Well, Jeff, as backup for Carl, I suppose,
tosses his hackeysack at me. Of course he misses but I manage to secure
the item and I take off down the hall….
…to Carl's room. I run in, "What can I take?" There is nothing
to fit inside my pockets for the walk to and from band. What do I take?
Then I spied it – a can of chili! I grab it in a pilfering lust and take
to the streets below. I soon begin to slow, though, because….
…band is 35 blocks from campus. As I get to the hospital, I get
bored, and I pull out Jeff's hackeysack. I toss it from hand to hand with
the ease of baseball great, but I decide to get more athletic. I toss it
up high into the air. I watch it soar, and remember that I got a 1 out of
3 for catching when I was in Kindergarten. The hackeysack sails itself
right into….
…the medical waste dumpster. Shouldn't those things be locked,
and not wide open like that? I might complain to someone. I pull the hackeysack
out, remove the needle, and decide it might be safer to put it away. It's
Jeff's, you know, and I don't want to give him any diseases by virtue of
my inability to catch. So, I pull out the chili can as….
…I walk into the parking lot. For some reason it didn't occur
to me that tossing a chili can from hand to hand was a bad idea in a parking
lot. I toss it from hand to hand with the glee only kittens enjoy. And
then, on one fateful toss, the can travels from my right hand right into….
…the President of DSU. Tunheim, himself, get it right in the face.
There was blood everywhere, especially on him and the chili can, and I felt
immediately panicked. I bent over to help him up. I said, "President Tunheim,
are you okay? That can of chili came out of nowhere."….
…I don't know if he replied to me or not. I do know that he hit
he a lot harder than that stupid can hit him. I got to band, but couldn't
play because my teeth kept coming out and I dripping blood like baby seal.
I guess this all just goes to show: don't steal stuff!

Market alarm as US fails to control biggest debt in history
US Treasuries last week suffered their biggest two-day sell-off since the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September 2008. The borrowing costs of the government of the world's largest economy have now risen by a quarter over the past four weeks.
By Liam Halligan
Such a sharp rise in US benchmark market interest rates matters a lot – and it matters way beyond America. The US government is now servicing $13.8 trillion (£8.7 trilion) in declared liabilities – making it, by a long way, the world's largest debtor. Around $414bn of US taxpayers' money went on sovereign interest payments last year – around 4.5 times the budget of America's Department of Education.
Debt service costs have reached such astronomical levels even though, over the past year and more, yields have been kept historically and artificially low by "quantitative easing (QE)" – in other words, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's virtual printing press. Now borrowing costs are 28pc higher than a month ago, with the 10-year Treasury yield reaching 3.33pc last week, an already eye-watering debt service burden can only go up.
Few on this side of the Atlantic should feel smug. The eurozone's ongoing sovereign debt debacle has pushed up Germany's borrowing costs by 27pc over the last month – to 3.03pc. The market has judged that if Europe's Teutonic powerhouse wants the single currency to survive, it will ultimately need to raise wads of cash to absorb the mess caused by other member states' fiscal incontinence.
The Rest…HERE

Growing hemp as nature designed it is vital to our urgent need to reduce greenhouse gases and ensure the survival of our planet.Jack Herer
The environmental, health and industrial properties of hemp are well known to man for a really long time, however its re-introduction to the market has been increasing in recent years. Industries searching for nutritional, medicinal, industrial renewable and economically friendly materials and processes are turning to hemp for the solution. Its cultivation doesn't rely on specific climate or soil, and is therefore found growing all over the globe.
Hemp Provides an Alternate
Paper is ready-made from hemp
Paper is ready-made from hemp. Since hemp includes a chemical compound content compared to wood, it's turned to pulp faster and easier; this naturally bright pulp loves component bleaching, that's used in ancient paper mills and releases a virulent substance called organic compound into the setting.
Hemp is to boot compatible with the new soy-based binders rather than the petroleum based binders that give off organic compounds. This reduces pollution and health hazards to human and animal life. The quality of paper obtained from hemp is more durable and doesn't lose color even over a couple of years. Hemp is an exceptionally environmentally efficient plant since its paper is recycled seven or eight times, as compared to three for tree-based paper.
Hemp seeds are also one of the plant kingdom's best sources of easily digestible, high-quality protein. Protein helps build and repair tissue and build lean muscle mass. Unlike soy, hemp does not contain enzyme inhibitors and phytates, so the nutrients in hemp can be easily absorbed by the body.
The uses of hemp extends into construction. Fiberboards created from a hemp-based composite are stronger and lighter than those created from wood.
The combo of hemp fiber and lime results in a sound-proofing and material that's stronger and lighter than concrete. By limiting use of wood and concrete, the amount of waste matter at a construction site is reduced.
Since homes designed using hemp product have higher thermal insulation, less fuel is consumed for heating their interiors. Bio-based plastics is formed from the long hemp fibers, and make extremely strong building materials. Hemp may be a low cost construction material that's reusable, cheaper than glass and safe for the workers.
Hemp seeds contain all the essential amino acids necessary to maintain healthy human life. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and play a key role in the development of lean body mass and muscular repair. Dietary protein is needed to supply amino acids for our body's growth and maintenance.
The woody hemp plant is low in moisture; it dries quickly and is an economical biomass supply of wood alcohol. The waste product created by extraction of hemp oil supplies the production of ethyl alcohol.
One acre of hemp yields 1,000 gallons or 3,785 liters of fuel. Hemp permits a significantly lesser reliance on fossil fuels, producing renewable energy to meet the increasing international demands.
Hemp is Most Superior for the Environment:
- It replaces trees providing the supply of materials for wood and paper, thereby protectiing forests. Trees take years to grow, whereas a crop of hemp will be mature within a few months. Just one acre of hemp will produce the same amount of paper per year as four acres of trees.
- When burning hemp as a fuel, CO2 is free into the air, however this can be absorbed by succeeding crop, which may be harvested a hundred and twenty days after planting. This fast growth avoids the build-up of CO2. Also, hemp could be a terribly foliaceous plant and so contributes a high level of gas to the atmosphere throughout its growth;
- This makes up for the loss of gas once it's burnt as a fuel, that successively, reduces unwanted effects of world warming, acid precipitation and also the depletion within the layer on the atmosphere.
- Air pollution is reduced since hemp is of course immune to pests and doesn't want pesticides and herbicides to be sprayed. Little or no fertilizers are needed, since it's abundant leaves make up the soil and unleash the specified nutrients and minerals, thereby making higher soil tilth.
- Hemp replaces cotton as a material for producing paper and textile, and flax fiber or seed for animal feed, animal bedding and paper.
- Soil enrichment: The hemp crop grows dense and quickly. Daylight cannot penetrate the plants to the bottom, and this implies the crop is often freed from weeds. Its deep roots use water efficiently and scale back its salinity. In addition, erosion of soil is restricted, thereby reducing soil loss and river pollution. The roots provide chemical elements and alternative nutrients to the soil.
- Once the harvested, this soil makes excellent compost for alternative plants, and hemp cultivation will follow the rotation of agriculture with wheat or soybean. The hemp plant absorbs deadly metals emitted by nuclear plants into the soil, like copper, cadmium, lead and mercury.
- Fabrics made from hemp don't have any chemical residue, and is thus safer for shoppers. Though the material contains only hemp, it will keep the ultraviolet light rays of the sun from harming the skin beneath.
- Hemp product will be recycled, reused and it is 100 percent bio degradable. The expansion of production of the plant is fast enough to fulfill the increasing industrial and business demand for these products.
- Shift to hemp product can help save the atmosphere – a cleaner and greener planet for succeeding generation.

AKA Jessica Jones presented a unique criminal law fact pattern: Wendy attempted to murder her wife Jeri while under the mental control of Kilgrave; Pam, Jeri's legal secretary and paramour, saved Jeri by killing Wendy. This situation created a strange collision of the insanity defense against the defense of others in whether it was right for Pam to use lethal force to kill Wendy while under the mind control of Kilgrave.
Wendy was in the process of attacking Jeri with a large knife when Pam struck her with a blunt object to the head. Wendy had cut Jeri numerous times, as she was attempting to kill Jeri "by 1,000 cuts." Wendy's attack on Jeri was carried out after ordered by the Purple Man to kill Jeri.
Jeri and Wendy were in the middle of an ugly divorce. Wendy had demanded a highly suspect divorce settlement in exchange for not disclosing to the New York Bar that Jeri had bribed a juror at the beginning of her carrier. Jedi sought Kilgrave's assistance in ordering Wendy to take a divorce settlement, likely with a very different settlement amount.
A lawyer for Wendy could have argued the insanity defense for Wendy. While Wendy was highly determined to kill Jeri for wrongs during the marriage, this arguably was because of Kilgrave's orders, not Wendy's own intent. A defense attorney could have argued that Wendy did not understand the nature and consequences of their criminal conduct, thus could not be convicted for assault or attempted murder of Jeri under NY CLS Penal § 40.15(1).
Pam entered Wendy and Jeri's townhouse to find Wendy attacking Jeri. Pam objectively could see multiple cuts to Jeri and a significant amount of blood. Pam was justified in striking Wendy, because under New York law, a person "may use physical force upon another person when and to the extent he or she reasonably believes such to be necessary to defend himself, herself or a third person from what he or she reasonably believes to be the use or imminent use of unlawful physical force by such other person…" NY CLS Penal § 35.15(1).
Pam could reasonably have believed Jeri was the victim of the "unlawful physical force" by Wendy from the number of cuts Jeri had sustained. Moreover, Pam caught Wendy in the act of attacking Jeri. As such, Pam hitting Wendy on the head would have been justified to stop the attack on Jeri.
Pam did not intent to kill Wendy, whose head struck the side of a table. While it is highly suspect for three people in a love triangle to have a fight where one ends up dead, Pam would have a very strong defense.
The only thing that could undermine Pam's "reasonable belief" about Wendy's threat to Jeri, would be if Pam were aware that Kilgrave had ordered Wendy to kill Jeri. If Pam knew Wendy was not in control of her actions, this complicates the analysis. Pam could be seen as taking advantage of the situation to kill the estranged wife who was making unreasonable divorce settlement demands. Pam's "defense of others" could suddenly look like murder.
Consider this alternative: If Pam had backhanded Wendy with the blunt instrument, hitting the left side of Wendy's head was struck instead of the right, Wendy would not have hit the table with the left side of her head. Would that have been remotely reasonable? It is not often people find themselves in life or death situations. Pam taking a normal swing with the first object she grabbed likely was the reasonable action in order to save Jeri.

Leila Gharavi on gender, sports and Iranian New Year's traditions
Written by: ENA5 students with Ti Grimm-Svahn
We had the pleasure to receive a visitor in English class the other day. Our guest, Leila Gharavi, was born in Iran. At school, she was interested in physics and mathematics, but also in sports. In 1998 she moved to Sweden to study and after completing her degree, she was offered a job by Nokia and thus she moved to Finland where she worked as a telecommunications engineer. After working for Nokia for about ten years, she started feeling like something was missing, so she decided to quit her job to pursue her second passion; sports. She began studying sports management and it was her work with the Finnish Sports Federation on women and sports that took her onto the path of her current topic of interest, which is gender studies.
One of the great challenges when it comes to gender studies is the fact that language and terminology is not always very clear. Leila started off by talking about the difference between equality and equity. Equality means that everyone is treated the same, while equity means that everyone is treated according to their individual needs so that the result is a fair treatment of everybody. By using pictures and slides Leila made the talk easy to follow and fun.
Bringing clarity to the way we think and talk about gender issues was one of Leila's primary goals. And by distinguishing between the realm of biology, on the one hand, and the realm of sociology on the other, this can be achieved. By using language so that it is clear whether we are talking about people's bodies (biology) or about how they behave in groups (sociology), we can avoid some of the confusion that sometimes surrounds discussions about gender.
At the end of her talk Leila also told us a bit about her native country Iran. We learnt interesting things about the country's geography, history and traditions. We learnt, for example, that a different calendar is used in Iran. In this calendar the spring equinox marks the beginning of the new year. As a consequence, they celebrated New Year's Eve in Iran just a couple of days ago. The new year is celebrated with the family and special traditional food is made and eaten during this festival. Leila mentioned a number of similarities to Finnish Easter traditions such as decorative eggs and an Iranian version of the Finnish Easter delicacy 'mämmi'.

Wages Depend on the Advancing, Stagnating, and Declining State
22 It is not the actual greatness of national wealth, but its continual increase, which causes a rise in the wages of labour.
- It is not in the richest countries, but in those which are growing rich the fastest, that wages are highest.
- England is currently richer than any part of North America, but the wages in North America are much higher than in any part of England.
- In New York before the start of the American Revolution, common labourers earn 3 shillings and sixpence currency, equal to 2 shillings sterling a day.
- Ship carpenters earn 10 shillings and sixpence currency, with a pint of rum worth sixpence sterling, equal in all to 6 shillings and sixpence sterling
- House carpenters and bricklayers earn 8 shillings currency, equal to 4 shillings and sixpence sterling.
- Journeymen tailors earn 5 shillings currency equal to 2 shillings, 10 pence sterling
- These prices are all above the London price but the same in our other American colonies.
- The price of goods are much lower in North America than in England.
- A dearth has never been known there.
- They were always self sufficient even in the worst seasons, though they exported less at those times.
- A dearth has never been known there.
- If the money price of labour in our colonies were higher than Great Britain, its real price must be higher in an even greater proportion.
23 But though North America is not yet as rich as England, it is advancing with more rapidity to riches.
- The most decisive mark of the prosperity of any country is its population increase.
- In most European countries, they are not supposed to double in less than 500 years.
- In the British colonies in North America, they double in 20 to 25 years owing to the great multiplication of people there.
- Those who live to old age there frequently see 50 to 100 or more descendants.
- Labour is there so well rewarded that children is a source of prosperity, instead of burden, to the parents.
- The labour of each child is computed to be worth 100 pounds clear gain to them.
- A young widow with four or five young children, who in Europe would have a little chance for a second husband, is there frequently courted as a sort of fortune.
- The value of children is the greatest encouragement to marriage, and so North Americans generally marry very young.
- The scarcity of workers in North America adds to the demand for labourers, causing an increase in the funds for maintaining them.
Wages In Stationary Countries, Like China
24 Wages cannot be very high in a country that has long been stationary even though it is rich.
- The revenue of the people is the fund for paying wages.
- Even if the people's revenue is very great, if they continued to be the same for several centuries, the supply of workers could easily match and even surpass the demand for workers the following year.
- There could seldom be any labour shortage.
- There would be no competition among employers for labour.
- The workers would increase in number and eventually find a shortage of employment.
- They would compete with each other to get employed and would lower wages to the lowest possible rate.
- China has been long one of the richest, most fertile, best cultivated, most industrious, and most populous countries in the world.
- However, it has been long stationary.
- Marco Polo, who visited it over 500 years ago, described it almost in the same way as today.
- It had perhaps become rich even long before his time.
- All travellers agree in:
- the low wages of labour in China
- the difficulty of a labourer in bringing up a family in China
- He is content if he can earn a few rice by digging the ground the whole day.
- Artificiers have worse condition than labourers.
- They must continually run about the streets with their tools as if begging employment, unlike European artificiers who can wait indolently in their workhouses for customers.
- The poverty of the lower ranks of people in China is worse than any European nation.
- In Canton, many thousand families live in little fishing boats.
- They are eager to fish up the nastiest garbage from any European ship, eating any dead animal as wholesome food.
- Marriage is encouraged in China for the liberty of destroying children.
- In all great towns, several children are exposed nightly in the street or drowned like puppies in the water sometimes as a way of earning a living.
- In Canton, many thousand families live in little fishing boats.
25 Although China may stand still, it does not seem to go backwards because:
- its towns are not deserted
- the lands which had once been cultivated are not neglected
The same annual labour must therefore continue to be performed, and the funds for maintaining it must not be diminished.
- The lowest class of labourers, must some way make shift to keep up their usual numbers.
26 But in a country where the funds for wages were decaying:
- every year, the demand for workers would be less than the year before
- the skilled workers would not be able to find jobs
- They would start seeking employment in lesser skilled work.
- They would compete with the lesser skilled workers and oversupply it.
- The oversupply would reduce wages to the lowest rates, making job-seeking very difficult.
- Many would resort to begging or crime.
- Want, famine, and mortality would immediately prevail in the lower class.
- From there it would extend to all upper classes.
- Society would soon be reduced to a smaller revenue and stock which had escaped the calamity that destroyed the rest.
- Want, famine, and mortality would immediately prevail in the lower class.
- This perhaps is the present state of Bengal and some English settlements in the East Indies.
- In a depopulated fertile country where 300,000-400,000 people die of hunger each year, the funds for maintaining the labouring poor are fast decaying.
- The difference of our North American from our East Indies colonies best illustrates the genius of the British constitution which governs North America and the mercantile company which oppresses the East Indies.
- A society advancing to wealth has high wages as its natural symptom.
- A stagnating society is marked by low wages for its labouring poor.
- A declining society is marked by its starving poor.

Illustration: Courtesy of the designer
The team at Wtoo Brides wanted to create a luxurious, sexy, and feminine feel for the Fall 2012 collection. To that effect, they used a new soft lace that's similar to lingerie lace, in addition to using a soft satin and taffeta that both have a subtle sheen for added opulence. The gown above features dramatic pleated tulle ruffle trumpet skirt and delicate hand-beading. "We were inspired by the way lingerie forms to the female body and makes her feel alluring," the team says. "We emphasized a lot on sensuous fabrics and silhouettes for this season, and color was a huge inspiration point for us." Expect to see several new colors from Wtoo for fall, including blush, champagne and dove grey. And for more designs from Wtoo, browse our Wedding Dresses gallery. —Phillip B. Crook

I know this idea has been met with a certain degree of scorn in the past, but I'd *love* if posts supported menu_order the way pages and other hierarchical post types do. Using WordPress as a CMS, I often wish I could order posts arbitrarily (or according to criteria queries don't understand, like which featured images look nice next to each other). This is particularly true in category archives. Pages can't be sorted by category, and don't show up in RSS feeds, and thus aren't a good alternative to posts. Changing dates or custom fields to re-order posts is really absurdly time-consuming and user-unfriendly.
Further, I'd do a Snoopy dance if the menu_order could be set via drag-and-drop (like widgets are ordered).
And while I understand that there are plugins that offer this functionality, in my experience they tend to be a bit wonky. Also, they tend not to be maintained for very long, and the order of one's post doesn't seem like something that should fall victim to WordPress upgrades.

Dramatic Video Shows North Korean Soldier's Daring Escape to South
Peters on New North Korea Sanctions: 'Monetary Solution Is Better Than War'
John Bolton: North Korea Will Not Be Talked Out of Its Nuclear Program
The United Nations Command (UNC), which controls the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea, released dramatic footage of a North Korean solider defecting to the South earlier this month.
It shows the soldier racing toward the border in a jeep, before he runs into a ditch just a feet few away from the white demarcation line officially separating the two Koreas.
He races for the border on foot as pursuing North Korean soldiers fire on him.
The defector can be seen limping into South Korean territory before collapsing. One North Korean soldier briefly crosses the border into the South, a violation of the ceasefire agreement.
About 40 minutes later, the defector was pulled to safety by Southern border guards.
He was shot at least five times and was rushed into emergency surgery.
"The patient will not die," surgeon Lee Cook-jong of South Korea's Ajou University Hospital said, according to the Korea Herald. "But he is showing signs of depression due to much stress from the gunshot injuries and two major surgeries. The Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences Department will do an assessment for post-traumatic stress disorder."'
He is reportedly also being treated for for hepatitis B, parasitic worms and tuberculosis.
U.S. Army Col. Chad G. Carroll, a spokesman for the UNC, said the North violated the armistice by "one, firing weapons across the MDL, and two, by actually crossing the MDL temporarily," referring to the demarcation line that separates the Koreas.
Watch the full video of the dramatic escape below.

My old dad used to say that the man who could putt was a match for anyone - was he correct?
Well according to the latest book that I am reading he wasn't. Every shot counts, by Mark Broadie is "an absolutely fantastic book and it could change the way that people play the game," says European Ryder cup player Edoardo Molinari.
Take a look at the two pictures, you will see that I am introducing the book, then finding out some new information on putting. "Putting is overrated" according to Broadie, as his stats reveal that putting contributed to 35 percent, on average, to victories on the PGA Tour - while off green shots were responsible for 65 percent. In fact a recent study from 2004-2012 showed that putting contributed only 15 percent to the top golfers scoring average, and through the green shots, accounted for 85 percent. It has often been said that the reason for Tiger Woods being the best player in the world for many years, was primarily down to his excellent putting. Actually that is not quite right. He was the best player through the green.
No doubt you have all heard the old adage "you drive for show and putt for dough." Do you agree with that? I certainly do not agree with that statement, as I would rather two putt for a par than single putt for a double bogey. Many coaches now believe that in fact driving is the most important part of the game.
Vijay Singh won the World Golf Championship at Bridgestone in 2008, while putting significantly worse than the rest of the field. His Tee to Green play was exceptional. Now answer this question - do you ever count the number of putts taken during/after your medal round? If as I suspect many of you will do, this is actually a waste of time, as it doesn't take distance into account. For example, taking two putts from 30 feet is actually good, but taking two putts from two feet is not good. But in the putting count, they are both two putts.
Using the new strokes gained approach is an easier and better way to improve your putting performance. Finally, remember that putting is important but golf is not a glorified putting contest! Next week: Orange whip time.

One: a mango-wood pencil cup. Hollow sound. Clat. Juke on the desk. Two-inch shimmy. Slip the pencils out, expecting a lizard. Empty, then. Indonesian piece. Carved, bas-relief delphinium. Smell of oil, deadwood. Wag the cup to your ear. Listen for termites.
An old mentor once said the greatest weakness of the journalistic medium is its inability to explain the supernatural without doing some injury to the truth. A certain immobility of the mind is encouraged at the newspaper. Even the most fantastical occurrence––the hop of a mango-wood pencil cup on your desk, example––must present itself as a colony of insects, or the unwitting knock of your own knee on the underside of the desk.
You need to explain.
Two: a stack of colored notecards, sailed off the tabletop as if struck by a hand. Heart-thumping moment, watching them flutter to the rug. An open window? No one home. Mice? Kick away from the desk, hunt out clues. Peer inside bookshelves, under lampshades. Scavenge the office.
In the murky absence of rational explanations, everyday objects take on a surreal edge, as if someone has outlined them in black sharpie marker.
Three, few days later: a steel bowl spins violently on the quartz countertop. Watch in throaty horror, from a distance, broiling the tilapia. Your wife comes in just as the bowl is rimming, clinking to a halt.
"Did you see that?"
"What about it?"
Consider the question.
"Has the house been shaking lately? Are they doing launches at the Cape?"
She dodges into the white glow of the fridge. "I don't think so."
"You haven't noticed anything. Odd?"
"I don't think so."
Flip the fish.
Four, same evening: a vase of calla lilies topples off the headboard. She mutters a single word from the bed, though you are shaving in the bathroom.
Rinse the razor.
In the drowse of night pillows, you tell her you want to to exercise more, to take up transcendental meditation. You tell her you need to go gluten-free. But she is already asleep. Creep out to the living room with the laptop. Research, research. Psychokinesis, elasticity theory, quantum entanglement, wave function collapse.
Nothing fits.
Five, next morning: a crunch and scurry at the bottom of the trash bag. Mice. Mice, after all. Tricky devils. Slinking in bowls. Rodentia make you second-guess yourself. Cinch the bag shut, run outside with it. Lay it out on the pavers.
"Daddy, what are you doing?" Your son, at the garage door.
"Have you seen mice in the house?"
"No. I don't think so."
Sift through. Pluck an item. Inspect. Pluck another. Slime your fingers with yogurt. Your daughter now, behind your son, clapping you with that same look as her mother. The look to make you wonder if you haven't lost your head.
No mice.
Six, seven, eight: wooden chair screeks on the dining room floor; Rouen cathedral frame jitters the drywall; bathroom drawer opens. Air dynamics? A pressurization issue in the AC ducts? Or else, a mild shivering of reality... You seem to recall the sensation from earliest childhood. A little thing the brain trains itself to filter out.
Blink of bathroom lights. Rustle of bedsheets. Entropy, inexhaustible torrent.
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen: slap of plumbing pipe in the wall; guitar crashes off the peg, vrum; broom shushes concrete; coffee cup clinks; door slams; toilet flushes. No one home but you.
Lean back, close your eyes. Hear the house crawl. Breathe.
To accept the existence of phantasms or demons is the worst way out of this. Here is your old mentor, inside your blackened lids, silver coiffe writhing, tendrilized, as if underwater. "Go somewhere," he says.
Outside, then. Go. Fire up the truck. Rip out the driveway.
Fifteen: concrete light pole bows low before the truck. Explosion of secret neural system. Vibration of poinciana. A peeling back.
You need to explain. Need to clarify. To quantify.
But here is the reflection of all visible rays of light: everything that is lives. See that. Shimmer.

Academic Policies
John Witherspoon College is firmly committed to a model of classical and Christian education that values real-time student-professor interaction. Teaching and learning at John Witherspoon are inextricably linked to close faculty-student relationships, local Christian culture, and the Rapid City community. Therefore, while many courses include online or media components, almost all of JWC's courses require students physically to attend the main campus or one of the distance-learning teaching-sites. A limited number of online courses may be available to serve special needs. (Students will be notified by the Registrar of the maximum academic credit which can be earned at the teaching site and options for earning remaining needed credit.)
U. S. Federal Government defines a credit-hour as follows:
Except as provided in 34 CFR 668.8(k) and (l), a credit hour is an amount of work represented in intended learning outcomes and verified by evidence of student achievement that is an institutionally established equivalency that reasonably approximates not less than – (1) One hour of classroom or direct faculty instruction and a minimum of two hours of out of class student work each week for approximately fifteen weeks for one semester or trimester hour of credit, or ten to twelve weeks for one quarter hour of credit, or the equivalent amount of work over a different amount of time; or (2) At least an equivalent amount of work as required in paragraph (1) of this definition for other academic activities as established by the institution including laboratory work, internships, practica, studio work, and other academic work leading to the award of credit hours.
Whether a credit-hour consists of an actual 60 minute meeting or a 50 minute meeting (giving 10 minutes for students to change classes) varies by state. South Dakota law has no ruling on the matter, and most institutions in South Dakota have defaulted to a 50-minute credit hour. JWC has therefore adopted the 50-minute credit-hour as its official definition. Thus, a typical 3-credit course on a 15-week semester (or, in the case of JWC and other universities, on a 16-week semester that includes regular vacations such as Thanksgiving and Spring Break) consists of forty-five 50-minute sessions (typically meeting M/W/F), or thirty 75-minute sessions (typically meeting Tues/Thurs), or fifteen 150-minute sessions (typically meeting once a week in the evenings). That same 3-credit course will also have 300 minutes of homework per week (given the homework guidelines above and the definition of an hour as 50 minutes). The table below combines this data, along with the typical reading load of 300 pages/credit. (Individual courses may vary.)
|Session Duration (min.)
|Meeting Duration (min.)
|Total Actual Time/ Semester (hrs)
|Homework Time/Wk (hrs)
|Homework Time/ Semester (hrs)
|Total Time Requirement (hrs)
|Typical Session Schedule
|T/Th or
|T/Th or W/F
|Typical Reading Requirement /Semester (pages)
|Average Pages/Week
As noted in the table, there is a difference between a "session" and a "meeting." These terms are used to distinguish between physical gatherings and periods of teaching at each gathering. A "session" occurs whenever a class gathers together in a given week. A "meeting" is simply a subset of a session, and therefore might occur more frequently in any given semester than sessions. For example, a 3-credit class that gathers every Monday night for a "session" may be divided up into two 75-minute lectures ("two meetings") with a small break in between, or into three 50 minute lectures ("three meetings") with two small breaks in between.
*Bold entries indicate JWC preferred format.
John Witherspoon reserves the right to evaluate a student's proficiency, knowledge, or skills gained from transfer courses prior to accepting them for transfer. Generally, credit will be accepted from regionally or nationally accredited colleges if it parallels courses offered by John Witherspoon. The minimum grade for acceptance of any transfer credit is "C." No more than 15 semester hours will be accepted from non-baccalaureate granting colleges toward a degree at John Witherspoon College. Grades of courses from other institutions do not transfer. Upon admission of a transfer student to John Witherspoon, the members of the Admissions and Scholarship Committee in conjunction with the Registrar will evaluate transcripts of all previous college-level coursework. They will determine at that time the applicability of any transfer credits to the student's program of study at John Witherspoon. A student has the right to appeal the registrar's decision to the CAO. All course equivalencies, transfer credits, and academic conditions are recorded on the student's permanent record after matriculation. Transfer courses and credits are not used to determine a student's academic standing or GPA at John Witherspoon.
Because of our educational vision, John Witherspoon courses are unique in content, form, and the way in which they are taught. It is impossible for other courses to directly substitute for our curricular design and educational outcomes.
However, the College provisionally accepts CLEP testing for some JWC courses (listed below), requiring (a) a minimum of a 60 score, and (b) approval from the Program Director in which the credits are issued. Final decisions on testing out of JWC courses are made by the Vice President of Academic Affairs.
For those CLEP scores that do not parallel JWC courses, up to 12 credits worth of electives may be transferred. Thus, no more than 18 credits may be transferred from CLEP. (Note: These transfer credits also count against the general 25% transfer limit policy; students may not transfer beyond 25% of any degree program, no exceptions).
|CLEP Test
|JWC Parallel/Substitute
|Principles of Microeconomics and Principles of Macroeconomics
|ECON 201 (3 credits)
|College Algebra
|MAT 101/102 (3 credits)
|All Other CLEP
|Electives (12 credits worth)
John Witherspoon grants advanced placement only under rare circumstances. Those wishing consideration must petition the Registrar for approval in writing.
Maximum Duration of Matriculation and Expiration of Credit
Matriculating students must complete degree requirements within seven (7) years of initial matriculation. After seven years, such students may become subject to the degree/diploma requirements that are then current. As a rule, students may not apply coursework completed more than ten (10) years earlier toward degree or diploma requirements; however, individual students may seek a waiver to this policy from the Registrar.
Limitation of Credits Earned Prior to Matriculation
Matriculating students who had previously completed John Witherspoon coursework as a non-matriculating student may apply no more than sixteen (16) such credits toward their degree requirements.
Residency Requirements for Degree Completion
No less than twenty-five percent (25%) of coursework required for the diploma, the associate's degree or the bachelor's degree must be completed in residence at John Witherspoon College.
Student Registration and Enrollment Status
Students are responsible for registering themselves for their courses for each term they are enrolled at the College. Prior to each term, the Registrar will announce the period of open registration, at which time students will be able to register for courses by downloading and completing the registration form on the College website. Students should meet with their advisors if they need a special study plan. Students are considered enrolled in a course when they are registered in a course for credit. A student has full-time status at John Witherspoon when enrolled for at least twelve (12) hours in a long semester or three (3) hours in a Winter or Summer Term. Otherwise, a student has part-time status. Students are considered matriculating only if they have been admitted to full degree seeking status and are currently pursuing a diploma or degree at the College. Credits will be applied only for students who are matriculating. Matriculating status is normally granted upon regular admission to the College. Students are considered non-matriculating if they have been admitted provisionally or are enrolled as a Non-Degree Seeking student.
Lapsed Enrollment
Matriculating students who have not enrolled for credit for two consecutive terms are subject to automatic discontinuation from their diploma/degree program. Discontinued students must reapply for admission to the College.
A student withdrawing from school, dropping all courses from a current semester or term, must complete a Withdrawal Form. Students will be allowed to withdraw through eleven (11) weeks, or its term equivalent, and will receive notation on their permanent record. Voluntary withdrawal does not guarantee readmission to the College, nor does it automatically exclude the student from enrollment at a future date. Students who have withdrawn must check with the Office of Admissions regarding re-enrollment. A former John Witherspoon College student having less than a 2.0 cumulative GPA from the College or less than a 2.0 cumulative GPA from all institutions attended will be considered for readmission by the Admissions and Scholarship Committee. The student may be denied admission, readmitted with conditions, or readmitted under their prior academic standing at John Witherspoon College.
Extra Course Loads
Students wishing to enroll in a fifth course in a semester (a sixth course if taking the practicum) may do so only if they have earned a combined G.P.A. of 3.0 or better in the previous semester or if they have received written permission from the Registrar.
Late Registration
To add a course, either to audit or enroll, after the published registration deadline, the student must submit a completed Drop/Add form to the Registrar along with a $25.00 fee. Late enrollment is subject to space availability. No student may add a course after the Friday of the second week into a term.
Auditing Courses
Students may audit courses for personal enrichment. Registration must occur during the published period. Auditing students are charged $125 per credit hour plus any applicable course fees. Full-time JWC faculty and their spouses and full-time students and their spouses may audit courses without charge, provided space is available and the instructor approves the audit request. Part-time faculty, part-time staff, and full-time staff and their spouses may audit courses by paying $10 per credit hour plus applicable student fees. Audited courses do not apply toward a degree but will appear on the transcript without assignment of grade. The auditor may participate in the course as minimally or as fully as he/she chooses with permission of the instructor. A student auditing a course may process drop/add forms to earn credit in the class no later than the "Last Day to Add" for the semester/term. A student enrolled in a course for credit may change to audit during the period allowed to drop a class. Deadlines are noted in the academic calendars for each semester published in the Catalogue.
Schedule Changes
After registration, a student may change his/her schedule by submitting proper forms to the Registrar. A fee of $10.00 will be charged for adding or dropping a course after the start of classes. Exceptions will be made by the Registrar in instances beyond a student's control. See the College Calendar for the last date for changes in schedules.
Changing Course Sections
In order to change course sections after the published registration deadline, a student must submit a completed Drop/Add form to the Registrar, along with the required $10.00 fee. Section changes require the instructor's approval and may be denied for administrative reasons.
Dropping Classes
A student may drop a course without academic penalty after the period allowed only under circumstances of extreme illness, in which case a physician's certificate must be submitted and approved by the Registrar. Additionally, the Registrar may approve a waiver to policy for other circumstances beyond the student's control. In these cases, students may receive a grade of Incomplete (I) and the opportunity to make up missed work for a grade. (See "Grades and Quality Points" below for further details.) Students who discontinue class attendance without permission of the Registrar to drop will receive an "F" in those courses.
Concurrent Enrollment
Enrollment in another college or university concurrent with John Witherspoon College enrollment must be approved in advance and in writing by the Registrar.
Class Attendance
Regular and successive attendance is expected of all students enrolled in all lecture, laboratory, and seminar courses. Faculty members will determine the specific details for administering the attendance policy for their courses. Each faculty member will clarify the requirements for the course in the syllabus. All course syllabi are filed in the Office of the Dean. Each faculty member is to counsel with any student whenever absences are affecting the student's grade.
Academic Probation
The only acceptable level of work for graduation at John Witherspoon College is 2.0 or above. Those who fail to achieve that level will be placed on Academic Probation. If the student achieves a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0, Academic Probation status will be immediately removed. If the student fails to achieve the 2.0 GPA, the status of Academic Probation lasts for two full semesters and the short term(s) that immediately follow. While the student is on Academic Probation:
1. An official notice will be sent to the student.
2. The Academic Advisor will counsel students individually toward GPA improvement.
3. The Academic Advisor will monitor the student's progress during semesters when he/she is repeating courses in which D's and F's had been earned.
4. The academic load will be limited to not more than fourteen (14) hours.
If by the end of the two probationary semesters a cumulative GPA of 2.0 has not been attained, the student will be suspended from the College for one full semester. There is no appeal permitted for this suspension. The suspension will be a full semester; no combination of short terms will substitute. Colleges typically will not admit a student suspended from another college; however, if credit is earned at another institution while the student is suspended from JWC, that credit is not applicable toward a degree at John Witherspoon.
After serving the period of suspension, the student is eligible to return upon application for readmission. The student re-enters on academic probation and is again given two semesters with the short term(s) that follow to achieve the required cumulative 2.0 GPA. If the satisfactory standing is not achieved, the student will again be suspended from the College. After a full semester suspension, the student desiring to return will be required to reapply through the Admissions and Scholarship Committee.
Retake Policy to Improve G.P.A.
Students who earn a grade of D or F in a course may request to retake the course in its entirety to improve their grade. (Note: As with all replacement grades, the original D grade will continue to be recorded on the student's permanent academic transcript). Students wishing to replace a D grade with a grade higher than a C, or students who wish to replace a grade of F earned in a course, may do so only by re-taking the original course in its entirety. Students must request to enroll in an ad hoc make-up course before the end of the first week of the term following the one in which the D grade was earned. Request is made by filling out the Course Make-up Request Form available from the Registrar or online. The completed form must include the signatures of the relevant instructor and academic advisor (if a different person). Each make-up course carries a minimum fee of $100 that is not included in the student's regular tuition. Registrar will determine the specific fee based on the estimated amount of additional instructional time required for the make-up course.
Academic Integrity
John Witherspoon College upholds the highest standards of honesty. By their enrollment at John Witherspoon College, students agree to refrain from the use of unauthorized aids during testing (including, but not limited to, technology devices such as digital cameras, cell phone cameras, pen-based scanners, translation programs, and text-messaging devices), to refuse to give or receive information on examinations, and to submit only those assignments which are the result of their own efforts and research.
Plagiarism is a serious offense that compromises academic integrity. As the MLA Handbook notes, "A writer who fails to give appropriate acknowledge-ment when repeating another's wording or particularly apt term, paraphrasing another's argument, or presenting another's line of thinking is guilty of plagiarism." Breaches of these standards warrant academic and disciplinary consequences. Policies and procedures, including appeal procedures, are found in the Student Handbook.
Readmission Policy
Students who have been expelled from John Witherspoon for academic reasons or for violating college policies may apply for readmission within two years of the date of dismissal by petitioning the Admissions and Scholarship Committee in writing. A student seeking readmission after two years from the date of dismissal must complete the same full application process that prospective new students complete. For more information of the College's Readmission Policy, contact the Registrar.
Both Progress Reports and Final Grades are reported by letter which may be interpreted in percentage figures:
A (93-100) For performance that is definitely superior in quality.
B (86-92) For consistently good work that is above average.
C (78-85) For satisfactory performance.
D (70-77) For minimal passing.
F (69 and below) Indicates failure.
A, B, C, and D are passing grades; F is failure.
Other grade reports:
N Given for audited courses.
I For incomplete work (when pre-approved by professor and/or registrar)
IP (In Progress). Interim grade for courses extending into following semester
P Indicates a passing grade in a Pass/Fail course
FF Indicates a failing grade in a Pass/Fail course
W For withdrawal from a course after course drop deadline
Quality Points
Quality points are used to calculate Grade Point Averages (GPA). The following are the grades with their corresponding quality credits:
A 4 quality points per hour of credit
B 3 quality points per hour of credit
C 2 quality points per hour of credit
D 1 quality points per hour of credit
F, FF, I, IP, N, X 0 quality points per hour
To determine the Grade Point Average (GPA), the quality points earned are divided by the semester hours attempted. The grade of P (Pass) will not be included in the GPA, but the credit will be included in the hours for graduation.
Students are allowed to repeat courses to improve the grade and cumulative GPA. Repeat of D and F grades is strongly encouraged. The most recent grade earned is the grade calculated in the cumulative GPA and in consideration for graduation.
Transfer credits and credit-by-testing do not apply quality points to the institutional GPA and are not factored into current academic standing or into the graduation GPA. (Note: These grades may be considered, however, in the admission process for specific programs at John Witherspoon College, or by other subsequent transfer institutions.)
Academic Good Standing
Academic Good Standing is defined as the minimum acceptable cumulative GPA for graduation—2.0. Policies regarding students who fail to meet this standard are detailed above under "Scholastic Regulations."
Academic Honors
To honor academic achievement, the College publishes an Honors List at the close of each regular academic term. To qualify for the Honors List, students must be enrolled full-time in a degree program and earn a GPA of 3.50 or better for the term.
Additionally, students who earn an average of 3.5 or above in courses taken at John Witherspoon College are graduated with Latin Honors as follows:
3.50-3.66 cum laude
3.67-3.83 magna cum laude
3.84 and above summa cum laude
To qualify for these honors, a student must complete at least thirty (30) hours at John Witherspoon College.
Graduation Requirements
Students may be graduated under the course requirements specified in the Catalogue of the year of admission or those at the time of their application for graduation. If five (5) years have elapsed since a student's latest enrollment in John Witherspoon College, he/she may elect to be graduated either under the course requirements of the Catalogue of his/her re-admission or those in force at the time of his/her application for graduation.
Application to Graduate
Students who are nearing completion of their studies must submit the Application to Graduate form to the Registrar by the posted deadline in order to participate in the May commencement. A diploma fee of $50 must accompany the application. The Registrar will review the student's record and certify that he/she is on track to satisfy all requirements for graduation.
Recognition at Commencement
To be recognized at Commencement as a member of the graduating class, students must either (a) meet all graduation requirements, or (b) have no more than four credits remaining for graduation and be registered and paid for the remaining coursework prior to Commencement. Such payment is non-refundable.
The John Witherspoon College Library advances the college's academic mission by supporting students with books, space, technology and other learning resources.
