Senior School
Pastoral Care
In the Senior School all students are allocated to a Pastoral Care Group. This is the first point of contact for any student well-being concerns. The Coordinator of Pastoral Care, Mrs Keturah Jones, oversees the Pastoral Care system.
The role of the Pastoral Care leader is to
· Know Your Child
They will take a keen interest in not only their work at school but their interests, their family, their friends and their strengths and weaknesses. Their role is to encourage and support but also to ensure your child complies with the College's expectations in regards to behaviour. They are sensitive to shifts in mood, behaviour and appearance and provide a support for the student, parent and other teachers should their be concern.
- Foster relationships
The leaders are keenly aware of the importance of a support structure. They will foster relationships both between your child and themselves as well as with the other members of the pastoral care group.
- Lead the Pastoral Care program
Whilst Care Group time involves certain daily routines and administration, for example, roll marking, uniform and diary checks, reinforcement of school rules and policies, it is also the platform for our pastoral care program. The scope and sequence of this program is varied depending on the age and development of the group. Topics include Cyberbullying, Resilience, Study Skills, Body Image, Safe Partying, Work/Life Balance and stress management.
Scope and Sequence of the Pastoral Care Program in Senior School
- Communicate and follow up
Communication is a vital part of the Care Leader's role. It is important for the leader to relate well with the students in their Care Group and to respond promptly to messages and inquiries from parents. They are the person to contact in the case of extended absence and to arrange for work if appropriate.

Did you know…
- 60% of all businesses that lose their important data will close their doors within 6 months of the loss
- Every week around 150,000 hard drives crash in the United States
Not every business will get hit with a natural disaster, fire or flood, but every business at some point will experience some level of data loss. Hard drive failures are not a matter of if, but when.
We believe that a proper data backup and recovery procedure is probably the most important process a business can have in place in today's digital world.
Two is one and one is none!
At a bare minimum there should be at least one data backup at your business, and it should be offsite or cloud based for disaster recovery purposes.
But this isn't good enough. What happens if that backup fails or the company your paying for backup goes out of business?
Just like a layered approach to network security is best practice, a layered backup approach works the same way. Having redundant backup measures ensures your data is safe and replicated in multiple locations. This approach ensures the integrity of your data and a quick recovery time.

A network of trauma centers led by the University of Pittsburgh has received a contract from the Department of Defense to conduct research aimed at improving trauma care for military personnel as well as for the general public. The contract could eventually lead to $90 million in funding for the Linking Investigations in Trauma and Emergency Services (LITES) Network.
Jason Sperry, MD, MPH, the principal investigator of the network, is a Professor of Surgery and Critical Care Medicine in the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Barbara Early, BSN, RN, CCRC, who will be the program administrator for LITES, also serves as Operations Director of the Multidisciplinary Acute Care Research Organization (MACRO), a joint clinical research infrastructure enterprise of CCM, Emergency Medicine, Surgery, and Pulmonary/Medicine. MACRO will serve as the Clinical Coordinating Center for LITES.
Francis Guyette, MD, MPH, Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine and Medical Director of STAT MedEvac, is the co-principal investigator. The Epidemiology Data Center at the Pitt Graduate School of Public Health will be the network's data coordinating center. Other key personnel include Stephen R. Wisniewski, PhD, and David Okonkwo, MD, PhD, both of Pitt; Ernest E. Moore, MD, of the University of Colorado; and Martin A. Schrieber, MD, of the Oregon Health and Science University.
The study has received media attention from: the Pittsburgh Business Times, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and TV news features on WTAE-Pittsburgh and ABC27-Harrisburg.
The announcement of this contract comes on the heels of a report this past June from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine that underscored how significant it would be for both members of the military and for citizens if trauma care could be improved. "That report set a bold goal to achieve zero preventable deaths after injury and minimal trauma-related disability," Sperry said in a press release from UPMC. "Serendipitously, the LITES Network has the potential to spur research that will lead to clinical advancements to achieve that ambitious goal."
Sperry explained that the investigation will begin with a concerted data-gathering effort: "Our sense is that after approximately two years of accruing large amounts of data, we'll be able to launch subsequent projects at the DOD's request—including the gold standard: randomized clinical trials—to find out what approach to care works best to keep people who are injured in a trauma from dying."
The LITES network, with its multiple participating centers and investigators, is truly a massive collaboration. The University of Colorado and Oregon Health & Science University will join the University of Pittsburgh as the leading institutions in the network, with five other trauma centers participating: the University of Texas at Houston, Vanderbilt University, University of Louisville, Baylor College of Medicine, and the University of Arizona. Subsequent studies will involve even more trauma centers, including the University of Pennsylvania, University of Utah, University of Texas Southwestern, and the University of Florida. In addition, the network will be aided in terms of advocacy and strategic planning by a partnership with the Coalition for National Trauma Research, which is made up of six leading trauma-related organizations.

Friends for some 15 years, Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian have also been wrestling a long time. The duo were signed to TNA, and, for more than a year, have been known as the tag team Bad Influence.
The two will be among the Superstars of TNA Impact Wrestling appearing at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 30, at The Maryland Theatre, 21 S. Potomac St., downtown Hagerstown.
As Bad Influence, Daniels and Kazarian twice have been named the World Tag Team Champions of the World. That is the correct title. They are slated to grapple with James "The Cowboy" Storm and Gunner Friday night.
Daniels and Kazarian insisted the mere sight of them are reason enough for fans to attend the show.
"This is a documented fact. There are scientific studies that show that the wrestling of Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian is good for your bloodstream. It has been known to cure cases of the common cold, rickets and some leukemia," Kazarian joked during a telephone interview from Norfolk, Va.

"It's a stage. I'm a performer and I love to perform and being in front of the crowds and hearing them cheer for me."
— Tennis star Serena Williams in today's Wall Street Journal story about her and sister Venus' renewed commitment to the game. Last year, hours after losing to a pair of little-known Chinese players in the doubles quarterfinals at the Banglaore Open in March, the sisters decided they'd had enough. They knew they weren't playing to their potential. What was holding them back? A lack of drive and discipline. Serena admits to loving the attention of competition–but not the practice it requires.
Venus too has had her share of distractions, including a side career as a fashion designer. Now the two women have rededicated themselves to the sport, adopting strict conditioning routines and more strategic play. With the U.S. Open beginning Monday in New York, the sisters–and spectators too–are hoping that the new discipline translates on the court. –Jessica Shambora

Bobble water bottle is a portable, reusable water bottle that filters water as you drink!
When water passes through the ingenious carbon filter, chlorine is removed from ordinary tap water. Bobble makes water taste better and is a beautiful alternative to single-serve plastic water bottles, which harm the planet (and your wallet)!
Each replaceable Bobble filter equates to 300 single-serve bottles. After 1 year, you alone have removed thousands of bottles from the environment, simply by filtering the water from your tap.
Bobble products are free from harmful composants such as BPA, phthalates or PVC.

Start with one of the colored boxes on the left, and finish with one of the boxes on the right. The rules are simple: you can move through a maximum of three different colors. You go move up/down and left/right, but you can't go diagonally, and you can't move through the same spot twice. Move ahead one click at a time. The lost kitten follows with each click. When you get the right route, the mother cat will be waiting at the end. And if you get stuck, click on the Hint button to see which box to start with. The computer generates new games each time.

Excerpt from an NRLC Emailed message See also:Which side is fabricating?
WASHINGTON (September 8, 2009) -- The following statement may be attributed to Douglas Johnson, legislative director for the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), which is the federation of right-to-life organizations in all 50 states.
Throughout his career as an Illinois state senator, a U.S. senator, and a presidential candidate, Barack Obama consistently opposed all limitations on government funding of elective abortion. During his presidential campaign, he expressed explicit opposition to the Hyde Amendment, the annually renewed provision that prevents federal Medicaid funding of abortion (with narrow exceptions).
Media unable or unwilling to unravel deceptions Recently, some journalists have reported that Obama endorsed the concept that the government should not fund abortions. In an interview with Katie Couric of CBS News, broadcast July 21, but Obama really did no such thing. Instead, he simply made a head fake -- an artful observation that "we also have a tradition of, in this town, historically, of not financing abortions as part of government funded health care." Obama did not endorse the "tradition." Certainly, it is true that there is such a tradition -- a tradition that Obama has always opposed, and which the Obama-backed health care bill would shatter.
There is another deception that is being widely employed -- again, with little critical scrutiny from the news media. During the just-completed congressional recess, innumerable congressional Democrats told their constituents that the pending legislation would not result in government funding of abortion because the Hyde Amendment prohibits federal funding of abortion. Here are two examples from the PhillyBurbs.com and The Marshall Tribune.
Hyde has a limited scope
In reality, the Hyde Amendment is not a government-wide law -- it applies only to funds appropriated through the annual appropriations bill that funds the Department of Health and Human Services. As National Right to Life has pointed out for months, and as the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service confirmed in two memoranda issued in late August (which we now have obtained and posted on our website), none of the funds that would be expended by the public plan, and none of the funds that will subsidize the purchase of private insurance plans, will ever flow through an HHS appropriations bill. Therefore, none of the funds will be covered by the Hyde Amendment. Many Democratic lawmakers have directly misinformed their constituents by telling them that the Hyde Amendment will apply -- and, for the most part -- the news media have simply transmitted the misinformation, or actually adopted the false claim as fact.
Obama deceives with artful language
President Obama himself has made statements of artful indirection involving the Hyde Amendment, in addition to the Katie Couric interview referred to above. For example, on August 20, 2009, Obama said at a health-care forum, "There are no plans under health reform to revoke the existing prohibition on using federal taxpayer dollars for abortions.
Nobody is talking about changing that existing provision, the Hyde Amendment. Let's be clear about that. It's just not true." This statement was another trademark head fake by Obama. It is true that the Obama-backed health bill does not directly revoke the Hyde Amendment -- and it is also entirely irrelevant, because Obama's congressional allies have carefully crafted the bill language to allow government funding of elective abortions using federal money that is not covered by the Hyde Amendment.
Read the details that reveal the truth
On September 3, NRLC issued a memorandum that explains in detail why the funds in question will not be affected by the Hyde Amendment. The NRLC memo quotes from, and links to, two new Congressional Research Service memoranda, and other official documents.
The paragraph titles were added by MCCL.

Blood Level
This morning I had a blood glucose reading of (88). This is the first time I ever had this reading. So I am thinking that may be I am doing something wrong. I would like to hear from you on my reading. As of this date I still have not eaten any bread, potatoes, or sweets.
I don't want to get myself in trouble by not eating some of the foods that will help me lose weight.
34 replies
Hey bluegill88~~GREAT READING!!
Great number! As long as I am below 100 I am a happy camper! For me, it just depends on my bedtime reading and what I ate for a bedtime snack as to my fasting numbers. I am usually in the 90's.
Good to hear your comments, will keep in mind as I go on working with my B/G level. What kind of snacks do you eat before bed time?
Fortunately, not eating all of the things that you indicated,"bread, potatoes or sweets" will only help you lose weight and control BG. Testing in the way that you are is a good idea. I hope that you're keeping a record of all that you're doing so you can write your own road map. You'll see that you can substitute many of the things that you like for other things that you may not like as much, but you will get used to it and won't feel deprived.
Congrats on the 88. Following James' advice really helped me learn how to figure out what foods were causing BG spikes. And as Nick says some foods are off limits, but some can be eaten cautously. Sometimes just a bite wont hurt. You just need to learn how much of a portion is safe for you.
Hope this 88 is the first of many great readings for you.
You should be doing the "happy dance"! That is a great morning reading, obviously you are doing what works best for controlling your diabetes. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for your great comments.
Howdy again Bluegill!
88 is a GOOD number not a bad one. What have your BG levels been? Anything between 70 and 100 I would consider to be great readings since that is what most People without diabetes run. Whatever you're doing, you seem to be doing GREAT!
That what I wanted to know. My BG levels had been 110, 111, 118 128 and Momday I went and ate some PanCakes , and my BG level went up tp to 195. Two hour later it was back down to 128.
I am still working to get a clear picture of my blood level so I will know what I can eat and not eat. Thanks for you answer.
Try pancakes made with almond flour. They are really good, I swear, I put a small amount of pure maple syryp on them. No spikes. No white flour either. You can find this recipe online, just google pancakes with almond flour.
It surprised me how much better tasting and more filling the Almond flour version is compared to wheat flour pancakes.
I don't know if there is. I use (and modify) a recipe from an almond flour cookbook by elana, that Gabby posted about. Instead of pancakes I usually make waffles.
Smart phone double posted.
Thanks for staying up late and finding the recipe for everyone J.
I would recommend doing a test of the foods which work well with you and the ones which do not play nice with your BG levels. I had written about a way to do this here ~ http://www.diabeticconnect.com/discussions/14...
There are of course other ways to do that and should you wish to follow other methods, that would be fine.
Like James said, that is a great morning number. I had the same reaction to pancakes, so they were completely off the table for me. However, I've been finding that the longer I can keep those numbers in check, things like that which would have given me the huge spikes and lows, don't so much anymore.
Right on, just means the pancreas is working much better, not over taxed.
Good information, I keep that in mind. Thanks.

Better Late Than Early!
I am currently reading a book by Mark Gardiner called Riding Man and totally in love with the book. The basic story is of a Gardiner, who decides fairly late in life, that he must go racing at the Isle of Man, and what happens from then on. In there lay a superb piece of riding advice that bears serious pondering.
In the book, the scene is the Gardiner is hanging about somewhere when a grizzled old ex-racer gives him a stunning piece of advice about riding the TT. Before I unveil the nugget though, let me just touch upon why the advice is stunning.
The piece of advice relates to the Isle of Man TT, a race that takes place on public road. A place you and I come out to anoint everyday with our wheels.
'Be late everywhere.'
That in essence is the piece of advice. Let us dig into that, now.
The idea being offered is that it is safer to ride the TT by performing the required actions a bit later than you would at a racetrack. What actions? Turning into a corner, apexing the corner, getting back on the gas and so forth.
When you enter a corner on the street, being late is good. Selecting a turn in point later usually offers you the biggest safety-related advantage you can really ask for – a better sightline. Turning in later will allow you to see deeper into the corner. A racetrack has no oncoming traffic, rarely has dirty tarmac and you are never in danger of crashing into something you didn't see – like a parked truck in the night. On the street, turning in late allows you to commit more to corners because you can see more. Or, it allows you to keep your normal pace, but maintain a greater safety envelope.
Apex late. A late apex creates a shallower exit line. That means you run less wide out of the corner on the throttle. Which again reduces the chances of running off the road – if it were a one-way street, or running into the oncoming lane – far more likely and inherently dangerous.
Open the throttle later. Riding fast on the street isn't harmful per se, racing is. And now that you aren't racing, you can afford to get on the throttle later. Again, you might lose a couple of feet of acceleration on the corner exit, but those fractions you waited might just allow you to spot another hazard as you look to where you are headed next.
Being late is of the greatest use when you are riding a road you don't really know that well. Running late allows you to read corners better, keep greater safety margins at hand in an unfamiliar environment and frankly, try it and you will realise that you don't actually lose much in terms of time. On the other hand, a later turn-in produces greater lean angles – makes the ride more exciting, but reduces the amount of time you spend leaned over – at a lower traction level. The more I think about it, the more sense it makes and the more things I spot that promote a quick, safer ride.
And apologies for not posting for nearly a month. I was out of the loop for a long while and it's taken me time to get back to posting here. Let us hope that this post sees us return to normal pace.

Here's a summary of what went on in the energy markets last week:
Electricity peak prices increased $1-31/MWh last week. All hubs except for Entergy and ERCOT were above $90/MWh. Electricity peak prices in April 2008 are 18-31 percent higher than the same month last year. The average electricity peak price for the Western hubs for April 2007 was $62/MWh – April 2008's average so far is $81/MWh. The average electricity peak price for the Eastern hubs for April 2007 was $72/MWh – April 2008's average so far is $85/MWh (see pages 1 and 3).For the report click here. It is also located on NEI's Financial Center webpage.
Gas prices at the Henry Hub increased $0.29 to $10.41/MMBtu. NYMEX gas futures traded around $11/MMBtu for the one-month and six-month ahead deliveries and $10/MMBtu for April 2009. Natural gas in storage was 1,285 bcf as of April 18, which is 1.9 percent below the 2003-2007 average (EIA, see pages 1 and 3).
Estimated nuclear plant availability rose to 79 percent last week. Two units began refueling and three finished (see pages 2 and 4).
Electricity production for the week ending April 19 was down 2.8 percent from the previous week. Year to date electricity production is 0.9 percent higher than the same period in 2007. EIA estimates 2008 electricity demand will increase 0.9 percent from 2007 (see pages 1 and 5).
Crude oil spot prices rose $4.62 to $114.33/barrel and crude oil futures traded between $112-$118/barrel in the one-month, six-month and twelve-months ahead. According to EIA, U.S. average gasoline prices surpassed $3.50 per gallon for the first time and average diesel prices again increased to a new record high of $4.14 per gallon (see pages 1, 2 and 3).

Tools for creating, editing, transforming, and publishing TEI documents and schemas are essential to using the TEI Guidelines. Since the TEI rules and recomendations are expressed in XML, TEI users can take advantage of the abundance of XML tools developed for general use. In addition, the TEI community develops and distributes TEI-specific tools.
Some tools are maintained and distributed directly by the TEI: for instance, the Roma tool for schema customization is an integral part of the publication of the TEI Guidelines, though the underlying tool may also be installed and used separately. Similarly, the stylesheets that are used by the TEI itself to convert TEI documents into various formats are distributed here for use and adaptation by others. Tools maintained by the TEI are described in more detail below and are open-source, made available under the terms and conditions of both Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License and a BSD 2-Clause license.
Others tools are contributed by members of the TEI community and are not maintained by the TEI. These might include tools for authoring and editing, for publishing collections of TEI documents online, or for generating visualizations of metrical structure. The community is strongly encouraged to contribute tools that may be generally useful, to inventory them on the TEI wiki, and to adapt or improve existing tools when allowed under an open-source license. Note that the TEI does not endorese any particular tool that it does not maintain and distribute.
There is also a Special Interest Group on Tools.
Roma is a web-based application which allows TEI users to
generate P5-compatible schemas and documentation. Roma is useful for all TEI customization development, whether you want to create a simple TEI schema by selecting a few of the most relevant TEI modules for your project, or want to do a more complex customization involving modifications to specific elements. Roma can also help you generate TEI documentation in languages other than English (for more detail, see the section on internationalization below). For detailed instructions on using Roma, see Customizing the TEI with Roma. A command-line version of Roma (called
The TEI maintains a library of XSL stylesheets developed by Sebastian Rahtz, which can convert TEI XML files to HTML, LaTeX, or XSL:FO documents. These stylesheets are designed for specific purposes and are not intended as general-purpose conversion tools. Other XSL and CSS stylesheets are listed in the stylesheets section of the TEI wiki, and all TEI users are encouraged to contribute their own stylesheets to this collection.
OxGarage is a web, and RESTful, service to manage the transformation of documents between a variety of formats. The majority of transformations use the Text Encoding Initiative format as a pivot format. It is a good tool for conversion from TEI to Word (.docx), or Word (.docx) to TEI, but also does many other formats.
One important tool developed by the TEI is the system for generating versions of the Guidelines in languages other than English. This initiative, funded in part by the ALLC, provides a framework for managing translations of the TEI reference documentation, element names, attribute names and values, and potentially the prose of the TEI Guidelines themselves. Work is currently under way to translate the reference documentation and the element and attribute names into five languages: French, Spanish, German, Chinese, and Japanese. Other languages to be covered in the future if funding and effort permit include Hindi, Italian, Polish, Romanian, Slovenian, and Tibetan. With this framework in place, TEI users will be able to generate internationalized versions of the TEI using the Roma interface described above. Click here for more information.

Great review & endorsement from The Bugman of Mt Washington, in Los Angeles. A kindred supporter of bugs.
December 15, 2014
Book Review: A Huntsman Spider in My House by Michelle Ray and illustrated by Sylvie Ashford
We quickly jumped on the opportunity to review Michelle Ray's new children's book and we are pleased to endorse the message it conveys. The home does contain many unwelcome pests, but there are also many beneficial species that either accidentally or purposely find themselves inside. Huntsman Spiders are common in Australia, and they are generally considered benign creatures that do no harm to human inhabitants, yet they are frequently subject to unnecessary carnage because they are large and scary appearing to the uninformed public. The young, nameless female protagonist of Sylvie Ashford's charming book speaks in rhyme as she explains the habits of Huntsman Spiders to children as well as to the adults that read the book aloud. Our personal favorite of all of Sylvie Ashford's colorful illustrations is the one that accompanies the text "I could squash him with my shoe, but he's not hurting me." We thoroughly endorse educating young children to have more tolerance for the lower beasts in hope of reducing Unnecessary Carnage. This book is suitable for young children learning to read and it has particular relevance for Australian children. This book is a nice stocking stuffer.
'What's that Bug?' does not endorse extermination.

Rogue Trader - The Hos Dynasty
Hos Dynasty Platoons
Early in the Explorers' career, they realised that they were going to need people who could murder other people, and preferably a lot of them. Arch-Militant Caine began an intense training program with potential recruits, as Jequin Hos acquired specialized lasguns that could better augment their troops. As the Guncutters they used in attack runs could normally only carry 30 troops at a time, it seemed natural to divide their forces into platoons of 30, each one gradually being trained to fill their own niche.
Rules for Creating Platoons
- Start off with Stats across the board at the basic Crew Rating (currently 30).
- Increase all Stats by 1d5 (rolled individually)
- Pick three stats for those troops to "specialize" in, and raise them by a further 5.
- Pick one Talent that the Troops qualify for and award it to them.
- All troops start with the Basic Weapon Training (SP & Las), Pistol Weapon Training (SP & Las) and Melee Weapon Training (Primitive) Talents.
- Pick two Skills that the Troops qualify for and they have had the chance to learn, and award it to them.
- All troops start with the Awareness, Dodge, Common Lore (Imperium), and Common Lore (Imperial Navy) skills
- Design a "Platoon Power" and clear it with the GM. This power should not be too game-breaking, but should give them a unique flavour.
- Wounds: 5 + 2xTB
Levelling Up Platoons
A Platoon begins life at Rank 0. When it completes a number of missions equal to its next rank number, it "levels" up. Thus you require 1 Action to reach Rank 1, and then 2 additional Actions to reach Rank 2 (3 Actions total). Platoons may not advance in Rank beyond the Explorers' rank.
- Pick two stats and increase them by +5 (these can be the stats picked at creation, or different ones)
- Pick any two skills and either give them as Trained, or if the platoon already possesses those skills, advance them by +10.
- Pick one talent that the Platoon qualifies for.
In addition, if a Platoon would ever gain Corruption, it must test Malignancy and may be "levelled up" if it gains at least one Malignancy. This does not increase the Platoons rank. If a Platoon ever tests against all of its characteristics for Malginancies, it must be dissolved.
Created Platoons
- 1st Hossian Platoon "Honour Guard"
- 2nd Hossian Platoon "Redshirts"
- 3rd Hossian Platoon "Crusaders"
- 4th Hossian Platoon "The Crucible"
- 5th Hossian Platoon "Death Bastards"
- 6th Hossian Platoon "Hufflepuffs"
- 7th Hossian Platoon "Lucky Sevens"
- 8th Hossian Platoon "Musicians"
- 9th Hossian Platoon "Razorwings"
- 10th Hossian Platoon "The Fighting 10th"
- 11th Hossian Platoon "The Void Knives"
- 12th Hossian Platoons "Combat Engineseers"
- 13th Hossian Platoon "Pathfinders"

Trivia Teaser
Shakespeare has it right, as ever, in this extract from As You Like It, about the hard wintertime. And while the antipodean winter in Australia is less biting than the northern hemisphere one, it's cold enough and dark enough in the early morning and evening to allow one to become a little low.
Blow, blow, thou winter wind.
Thou art not so unkind
As man's ingratitude;
Thy tooth is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude.
Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly:
Then, heigh-ho, the holly!
This life is most jolly.
Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky,
That dost not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As friend remember'd not.
But, having just a glorious day of classic Sydney winter weather when the temperature was mild, the sun shining, with very little wind and the air clear, it's seems that winter can't be all bad. And when you settle down to cooking hearty winter dishes to share with family and friends, winter turns into one of the best of times.
What's your favourite winter activity?

Measuring the profits (particular trades): Private Finance Initiative (PFI): scope of trade: example 1
A private sector operator enters into a PFI contract with a public sector purchaser (The Home Office), to provide a specified number of fully supported prison places over a 25-year period. In return the operator receives an annual service payment, the unitary charge. The operator constructs a prison, on land it acquires for the purpose, and engages its own staff to operate the facility.
The operator's trade is running a prison, i.e. providing fully supported prison accommodation. The operator is not carrying on a property business since it is not exploiting, as a source of rents or other receipts, its interest in the property. The property is not trading stock, it provides the setting in which the operator carries on its trade.
For tax purposes, the prison is a fixed capital asset of the operator's trade and the costs of building the prison are capital expenditure. Relief against trading income, for the construction costs, is only available to the extent that elements of that capital expenditure qualify for capital allowances.
The accounting treatment is of limited assistance in determining the scope of the PFI trade. If FRS5 Application note F is applicable, ownership of the prison may not be reflected in its accounting treatment, i.e. it may be reported as either a financial asset or a fixed asset on the balance sheet (see BIM64070 onwards).

With our all-new Women's Channel, we'd like to change that. And not just for self-serving reasons—we've got a great selection of riding gear designed specifically for women, and we'd like to see it go to a good home.
Guys are always complaining about lack of good gear options—the old trope about not wanting to be a power ranger, or a leather boy. We get it, and we've hitched our wagon to the concept of finding standout examples of good gear and putting it all in one place. But things are so, so much harder for women. We feel ya, sister.
The motorcycle industry is steeped in testosterone, and the prevailing design philosophy for women's gear certainly seems to be to Pink It, Shrink It.
We are proud to say we've gotten enough quality women's gear together to justify a women's category page—and there isn't a spec of pink in the whole place. Sorry, ladies, if you're into that sort of thing.

PHOENIX — Sex crimes investigators with the Phoenix Police Department are focusing on capturing a violent rapist who targeted an elderly woman inside her home.
"In nine years working in sex crimes, I haven't seen a case more concerning than this one," said Phoenix Police Sgt. Darren Burch. "It scares me, quite frankly, that he's out there."
On April 14, about 5:30 a.m., the suspect knocked on the door then forced his way into the victim's home in the neighborhood of 5700 West Thomas Road and raped her. The suspect also hit the victim during the crime and then left the home in an unknown direction.
The unidentified victim is 89.

Ruby is living in China in the early nineteenth century. Her grandfather has made his fortune on the Gold Fields or "Gold Mountain. That was what the Chinese called California when many men left to join the Gold Rush there." As was the custom of the time, Grandfather has many wives and many sons who also have many wives and they all live together in a magnificent home. "So at one time, the house was filled with the shrieks and laughter of over one hundred children."
Life is good for Ruby. She like to wear red but this is traditionally meant for celebrations. This does not deter Ruby who adds a red ribbon to her jet black hair when her mother insists she must wear somber colours. Grandfather is generous and so all the children are provided with lessons. In spite of this, though, things are not always equal for boys and girls. Ruby observes that girls are expected to learn cooking, keeping house and embroidery while the boys are free to play after class.
Ruby is careful with her calligraphy and is noticed by her grandfather. One day she uses her calligraphy skills to write a heart-felt poem.
Alas bad luck to be born a girl; and worse lucky to be born
into this house where only boys are cared for.
Her grandfather is given the poem and Ruby is summoned to his office. This is where the real skills of Ruby shine. Her grandfather asks for examples of this inequality. Her first example is small and unimportant. The boys get better cakes, Her second is also fairly minor. The boys have splendid lanterns in the shape of goldfish and dragons while the girl's are plain. Finally she makes her most important point :
"the boys will get to go to university, but the girls will be married."
How will her grandfather react?
Here are a set of teaching notes, Kirkus review and illustrator web site. A note at the end of the book explains that this story was inspired by the author's mother - the real Ruby who did indeed attend university as one of the first female students. You can see the whole book here.

From an emai from John Sheehan
Scanning the site I came across Laredo and thought I add some info I know about it. I went into the spacetrack business in 1961(27370s). When ADC took over the satellite-tracking mission and moved it to Colorado Springs.
The only satellite tracking radar belonging to ADC was at the Laredo site. In fact it was so rare to the ADC inventory it was originally assigned as a detachment of my control squadron in Colorado Springs. I had occasion to visit the site many times between 1961-1974. My first trip was in 61. It was like walking onto a ghost AC&W site. All the building were just like a standard P-site (just like North Truro) however no AC&W radar tower.
The story of those there at the time said was it never was operational as an AC&W site. None of the barracks were in use or were ever used in the years I went there. It had something to do with the water supply.
I don`t remember just when we shut down the tracking radar. It later became a sea launch ballistic missile (SLBM) site FSS-7. I'm not sure when they closed it; it was still open when I retired in early 76. Personnel were housed at Laredo AFB which was quite distance away.
The site sat out in the middle of nowhere with the sage brush and rattlesnakes. The only building that was ever used in the years I went there was the orderly room building. Being an old AC&W type, I always got an eerie feeling to see this lost site in the middle of nowhere that appeared to be built and not used for its original mission. I lived in a quonset building on so called M-sites and here were good barracks built and never used. USAF planning…
I hope this make a small grain of sense and possibly fills in a gap.

Episode 3 opens with overhead footage of Staten Island, New York, panning over rubble-strewn neighborhoods left behind after Superstorm Sandy's storm surge had receded, leaving dozens dead and hundreds injured. Governor Andrew Cuomo famously commented at the time about the "new reality" of extreme weather, alluding to but never invoking the term "climate change" as the real culprit behind Sandy's deadly wind and waves.
Less focused on superstar correspondents than episodes one and two, the third episode of Years of Living Dangerously was, in some ways, a more emotional installment as we followed two stories. In "Rising Tide," we hear Pat Dresch's experience of the storm; her husband and 13 year old daughter were killed by a 15-foot storm surge; Dresch's Republican Tea Party-backed Congressman, Michael Grimm, had a flooded out, destroyed district to lead and changed his mind on the nature of climate change along the way to getting them aid. The second story, "The Scientist," introduced us to Kim Cobb, the scientist whose work on the impacts of climate change on El Niño is centered on Christmas Island, birthplace of that deadly phenomenon.
Stories of the Week
Pat Dresch's tragic Superstorm Sandy story reminds you of other eerie, horrifying stories from storm surge survivors after Hurricane Katrina or other coastal storms. At first, they say, you notice a higher tide and waves in the waters near your home, followed by nothing, followed by a sudden, stunning wall of water bringing the end of your neighborhood, home and life as you knew it. MSNBC's Chris Hayes, interviewing Dresch, is moved by her plight – as is her Congressman, Michael Grimm, whose initial skepticism about the importance of climate change gives way to the evidence given him by a fellow conservative, former South Carolina Representative Bob Inglis.
Inglis has become an outcast in his party because he – like Republicans Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and John McCain before him – advocated taking action in response to this growing threat. So he lost in a primary election in 2009, as prevailing political winds turned against any Republican who didn't fight mention of the very existence of climate change. (Prevailing winds were helped mightily by a half-billion dollars spent by the fossil fuel industry, aka Big Energy.) Hayes' reporting here illustrates how those politics are keeping action on a national policy scale from taking place. After all, do we address coal or other fossil-fuel burning as ways to curb further climate change? What if this isn't "our fault?" And if it definitively is not, why should some have to pay extra taxes or adhere to stricter, more expensive regulations? As Grimm notes to Hayes, the problem is much bigger than him as a single Congressperson – but as Hayes notes to Grimm, reticence to take on fossil fuel interests may prove a tragic mistake in decades to come as more people have to endure experiences like Pat Dresch's.
Dr. M. Sanjayan, a senior scientist at Conservation International, is the correspondent who travels to tropical climes to interview Kim Cobb, a scientist interested in how climate change exacerbates the naturally-occurring ocean phenomena of El Niño, which happen when bands of the tropical Pacific near her research station at Christmas Island have a dramatic change in temperature for about six months – which changes the atmosphere and weather, resulting in deadly floods and droughts around the world. When trade winds stop around the equator, cool water from deeper in the ocean stops circulating, creating those warm bands; again, it is a naturally-occurring pattern. The problem Cobb studies is whether El Niños are getting worse, as economic impacts demonstrate, because of climate change and the fossil fuel emissions connected with it.
You may recall the historic 1997-98 El Niño, included here in a sobering montage chronicling the over $33 billion in damages and 20,000 deaths worldwide. The flooding/drought afflicted areas tend to be in the Southern Hemisphere and developing world – in fact, the event tends to trigger drier, warmer winters in the Northeast US and suppress Atlantic hurricanes. Cobb's research, fascinating work in paleoclimate, uses the over 6,000-year-old coral she collects at Christmas Island to study changes in the ocean's temperature over time. Coral growth is analogous to tree rings; each year creates a ring, and each El Niño a gap or break in growth, creating a thermometer of sorts which has been proven accurate in correspondence with other ocean temperature readings.
Cobb has found that El Niños are 20 percent stronger in the 20th century than they have been for the previous 7,000 years. She believes that in 100 years, Christmas Island itself may be mostly under water after sea levels rise another meter. "It hurts my heart being in love with this place," Cobb says to Sanjayan – a poignant note (echoed through much of this series) about what drives the work being done by climate scientists and others to care better for our planet.
Voices from Episode 3
- "Everything was fine, and then there was this monster." – Pat Dresch, Staten Island survivor
- "There's no oxygen left in room in DC for another big debate right now." – Rep. Michael Grimm (R-NY)
- "But we are being taught now about climate change. The question is whether that can be coupled with the hope that there is something that can be done." – Bob Inglis, former Representative (R-SC)

"Boondi Ladoo" is one of the most mouthwatering Indian sweet. It is enjoyed during all festivals and occasions and is offered as Prasad to Lord Ganesha. Made from bengal gram flour (besan) and sugar syrup this delight is enjoyed by all young and old all over India. Boondi is small bead sized balls which are soaked in sugar syrup and rolled out into balls. My grandmother used to make Boondi but it used to get over before she could roll them into balls. This recipe makes about 15 small ladoos and takes about an hour to make.
Total Time:
Preparation time: 10 Mins
Cooking Time: 10 Mins
1 cup bengal gram flour (besan)
½ cup water (approx)
1 tsp oil
Pinch of yellow color
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of water
Few strands of Kesar (saffron)
2 drops of almond essence (optional)
¼ tsp cardamom powder
¼ cup of semi – fine chopped nuts and raisins
Skimmer with holes
To make your syrup, take sugar in a cooking pot. Add enough water to cover sugar along with Kesar. Bring this mixture to a boil till the sugar is dissolved. Keep cooking for about 5 to 8 minutes till the sugar syrup thickens a bit. To check if the syrup is ready, carefully take a drop of syrup between your thumb and index finger. Slowly take your thumb and finger apart. If a string forms, (1 proper and other small) the syrup is ready. Mix in almond essence and keep it aside.
To make the dough, mix in flour, oil and color. Add little water at time (about a 1 tbsp at a time) and form into smooth batter. Make sure that there are no lumps in it. To check if the batter is ready, scoop a spoonful onto your skimmer. If the batter drops, the batter is ready. (The batter shouldn't be too runny or thick. You might need to add extra water to make smooth batter. The quantity of water depends upon quality of your flour)
Heat oil in a kadhai and check if ready to fry. To check, drop in small portion of batter into the hot oil. If it rises to top at once, oil is ready.
To fry the Boondi, keep your skimmer right over the oil. (Do not keep it on a height as you won't get proper round shape of Boondi) Pour some batter on it and let the batter drop over hot oil to form boondies. Once the boondies stop to sizzle, they are ready. Strain them off the oil and directly place them into the sugar syrup. Repeat till all the boondies are formed.
Once done, add in the cardamom powder along with nuts and raisins. Keep them soaked for 5 to 8 minutes. Drain of any excess sugar syrup (if there). Make sure your boondies are warm as it helps them to bind properly. Take a handful of mixture and using pressure of your palms roll out into a nice ball. Repeat till the mixture is over.
Boondi ladoos are ready to enjoy. Keep it refrigerated in air – tight container.

"Among the many important decisions for our wedding day, choosing the right photographer, ranked very high on our list.
We wanted to feel comfortable and capture the whole day. We cannot recommend Nicola, highly enough! Her attention to detail and approach made us feel at ease throughout the entire process from pre-shoot, the wedding day itself, even with the flexibility of staying longer on our wedding day and throughout the Album design.

Canadian Co-operative Investment Fund (CCIF)
The Canadian Co‑operative Investment Fund is a response to a critical challenge facing co‑operatives and mutuals: accessing capital without compromising their autonomy. We need a source of capital that takes into account the realities of the co‑operative business model and that structures investments in a way that respects the principles and the role of capital within co‑operatives and mutuals.
The Fund does not replace or reproduce any current sources of financing available to co‑operatives and mutuals. It will create access to those traditional sources of financing by complementing co‑operative members' investments with quasi-equity (subordinated debt), which will then leverage the financial services currently available at credit unions, caisses populaires and other traditional lenders. It will also become a partner of existing funds.
The Fund will work in partnership with other investors, like the federal government and other funds across the country. The Fund will harness the presence of financial co‑operatives everywhere in the country by developing a coast-to-coast distribution network. To do so, the fund will develop partnerships with credit unions and caisses populaires all across Canada to offer CCIF products – as a complement to their own products.
The Fund will be managed according to co-operative principles. Additionally, there will be Board representation for co‑operative developers, clients of the Fund and Co‑operatives and Mutuals Canada.
Read the latest about the launch of the fund in the October 16. 2017 news release.

Whistler's Mother Gets a Makeover
This text and the accompanying photos are taken from Judith B. Herman's article of January 29, 2013 that appears in Slate.com.
All photos are copyright by Aline Smithson.
Aline Smithson loves garage sales. When a single weekend of scavenging yielded a print of the famous 19th-century painting by James McNeill Whistler's "Arrangement in Grey and Black Portrait of the Artist's Mother," a leopard coat and hat, a 1950s cat painting, and a chair just like the one in Whistler's painting, something clicked. Her years of art education, fashion editing, and honing her darkroom skills, plus her sense of nostalgia, love of family, and wacky sense of humor all came together to produce what Smithson calls "the series that put me on the map."
Over a period of two years, her mother, who was in her mid-80s, sat erect in the "Whistler chair," presenting her left profile and a perfect deadpan expression in front of Smithson's lime green garage door for 20 versions of "Arrangement in Green and Black, Portraits of the Photographer's Mother." Instead of Anna Whistler's voluminous black Victorian dress and white lace cap, Katrine Kleihauer Smithson is decked out in get-ups such as a grass skirt and a safari suit. Smithson scoured thrift stores and eBay for costumes and bad paintings with matching themes.

Bob Francis images to show at Photo LA
Bob has been in the design and advertising business for over 35 years, as an art director, graphic designer and creative director. What I've always known all these years is that hetruly love photography. He loves seeing it–he loves doing it.
Since his early days at the Art Center, when he took his first photography course, learning not just the concept and science of photography, but the art of printing as well, he found something he could do for the rest of his life. He has also worked with many excellent and gifted photographers creating thousands of images for a variety of clients, but always striving, when appropriate, to transcend commercial photography and take the work to a higher level; or at least make it some of the best photography out there, which it often was. Of course that didn't always happen, which is the pesky thing about working with clients.
Left to his own devices now, he can achieve his vision his way. His experience in graphic design and the graphic arts–art directing, editing, and reproducing commercial and fine art photography–enables him to enhance that vision. He imbues the images he captures with clarity and style that enhances the reality of the subjects by inviting the viewer to see not only incredible detail, but also the grace of the subject as a whole.xx
As some of nature's most varied and quietly spectacular output, flowers, as well as other perhaps more mundane, but no less interesting, bits of the plant world, provide endless detail and visual intrigue. The closer he gets, the more amazed he is. He's constantly surprised at the unexpected—be it the point of view or the specimen itself. As with most natural photography, this is more discovery than invention.
Focusing on these subjects in extreme close up reveals incredible details. Some of these revelations are surprising if not downright astonishing. Many seem foreign, even other-worldly. However, the nature of this world at this level is truly spectacular. And seeing this is a revelation for me as it is for most people.
I try to capture and convey more than just botanical minutiae; he also appreciates the graphic form and structure. Gesture and a sense of life or movement, are also qualities that he finds, which can allow the subject some personality, attitude, and most of all character. This work is more akin to portraiture than still life.
Aging gracefully is a recurring theme in many of these images as well. The perfect flower, in all its perky glamour, is stunning. However, a flower or some other bit of flora past its prime, is yet another state of grace. The elegance of decay and the transformation of age are what intrigue him the most.
These images are captured at a very high resolution that provides not only incredible detail but astonishing color and depth. The lighting is very soft and is elegant in its simplicity and focus—that which is closest to us is both brighter and sharper which heightens the sense of depth.

Throughout the past week, the liberal media have had a veritable field day over the unsubstantiated and unverified "dossier" of reports allegedly from a former British intelligence agent published by BuzzFeed that purportedly revealed the Russian government had obtained blackmail material on President-elect Donald Trump.
One of the more salacious aspects of the memos was the claim that Trump had engaged Russian prostitutes to take part in bizarre sexual acts while in a Moscow hotel, claims that have been vehemently denied by the Trump camp.
Now. The Daily Caller has weighed in on the subject with its own report based on an exclusive interview with a former adviser to Trump with knowledge of the 2013 trip to Moscow when the alleged incident was supposed to have taken place.
Advertisement - story continues below
The unnamed adviser recalled that a Russian pop music star named Emin Agalarov had announced to Trump's team that he would be sending prostitutes up to the room for their entertainment — perhaps as a "thank you" for Trump's cameo appearance in an Agalarov music video. But that Trump's head of security, Keith Schiller, had shot the plan down as soon as prostitutes came up in conversation.
The former adviser noted that Schiller had even posted guards outside Trump's hotel room to ensure that no unauthorized guests were allowed in.

The adviser also noted that Trump was not being sarcastic while rebutting the allegations during his recent press conference, when he stated that he had to be extra careful when traveling because foreign governments and the media were always watching.
"Trump has always been like, 'Remember they're taping you, be very careful,'" the former adviser said.
Advertisement - story continues below
The adviser also confirmed that the dossier had been floating around Washington, D.C., and the national media for months, noting that he had been approached and questioned about it by rival Republican campaign staffers as far back as 2015.
As for BuzzFeed's decision to publish the increasingly debunked memo when virtually every other media outlet had decided to pass on it, the adviser could only state of the site's editor-in-chief, "Ben Smith is openly hostile and biased towards Trump."
Should this report from The Daily Caller be proven true, it would totally pull the rug out from under the media's narrative that Russian intelligence services had compromised Trump via Russian hookers, perhaps a real plan that had nevertheless been foiled by Trump's head of security — a truly no-nonsense fellow who will follow his long-time boss to the White House.
We will of course keep you updated should any further information regarding this report arise.
Please share this on Facebook and Twitter to let everyone know what really happened when Trump's head of security heard that Russian prostitutes might be heading up to Trump's Moscow hotel room.
What do you think of this report claiming that Trump's head of security shut down the whole Russian prostitutes idea before it even happened? Scroll down to comment below.

Miss Beazley, a Scottish terrier who was a frequent companion to George W. Bush and his wife, Laura in their White House years, was "put to rest after a battle with lymphoma," the former president said on Saturday.
"She was a source of joy during our time in Washington and in Dallas," Bush said in a statement issued from his Dallas home.
Miss Beazley and the Bushes' first Scottish terrier, Barney, were highly visible pets at the Bush White House and were featured in a White House Christmas video in 2005 called "A Very Beazley Christmas."
"She was a close companion to her blood relative, Barney. And even though he received all the attention, Beazley never held a grudge against him. She was a guardian to our cats, Bob and Bernadette, who - like Laura and I -- will miss her," Bush said.
Bush gave Miss Beazley as a puppy to Laura on her birthday in 2005. (Reporting By Steve Holland; Editing by David Gregorio)

This in itself from a genealogical point of view was a little problematical as Irish family history can be difficult to trace, however the past of Mary Ann was to prove even more difficult and mysterious and full of red herrings.
The first confusion arises in details on her death certificate where Mary Ann is listed as being born in Dublin but despite her maiden name of Gleeson, her parents names in this document are listed as James Lester and Mary Lester.
Certainly Lester is a name that has proved important in the family. Her son Phillip used Lester as his middle name, and he named is eldest son Lester.
A search of the few records available in Dublin bought no joy in finding any trace of James and Mary Lester.
Mary Ann's obituary has no mention of parents but does say she grew up in Dublin.
The mystery still remains, why would her name be Gleeson if her parents names were Lester? Perhaps she was adopted and it was the Lesters who raised her in Dublin. It seemed that her past would remain unknown.
That was until another document came to light.
The birth certificate of her eldest daughter Gertrude, reported by Mary Ann's husband James added more confusion into the mix .
James reported that his wife's place of birth was not in fact Ireland, but was Leeds, England. Further research showed that the same place of birth was reported on the certificate for son George Goodwin, a birth also reported by husband James. Just to confuse things more, on the birth certificate of son Phillip the birth place is reported as Dublin, however this birth was reported not by James but by James' mother. I would surmise that Jane assumed Mary Ann was born in Dublin as this was where she grew up, when James knew otherwise and perhaps this fact was not widely known among the family.
The good news from a genealogical point of view is that Mary Anns birth date of circa 1859 means if she was born in England, then her birth should have been registered.
A look at all births for Mary Gleesons in the Leeds area of Yorkshire yields several worth investigation
The only one actual listed as born in Leeds was born in 1856, which is probably a little early as every document that we have with Mary Ann's age consistently places her birth around 1859-60 . In addition this Mary Ann , whose parents were Thomas and Frances Gleeson appears to remain in Leeds throughout her childhood .
A second Mary Gleeson born 1859/60 appears in the 1861 census with parents William and Mary.
This family is also traceable through to 1871 so is not a likely candidate.
There is another Mary Gleeson, born in 1860 in Rotherham Yorkshire to parents Daniel and Bridget Gleeson. Daniel and Bridget are both from Ireland and their children were born in the Leeds area . Bridget and Mary appear on the 1871 census so we can probably discount that family too.
The 4th and I believe most likely entry in the 1861 census is a Mary Ann Gleeson age 2 and is a
visitor in a house with an Ann Smith ( aged 30 Widow, Hawker) and a Kelly family.
I strongly suspect this is our Mary Ann. Where are her parents and who are they? In order to solve this mystery we will need to order the birth certificate of this Mary Ann Gleeson. - and when we do we will know her parents but will the rest of the mystery be solved? Only time will tell.

Comfort of Love
I lay awake confused. After, I drifted into sleep; unplanned. Not sure, of the time now. Not even, if it's morning or night. I went to sleep in the darkness, and it remains inside the room. But, I have an innate feeling, the sun will rise soon though, I am smiling I hate when it happens.
Unknowingly, inside of a dreamy time passage. I went with him, he was holding my hand. He wasn't speaking to me in English, sounded like his Castilian language.
I realize, I am feeling at peace wakened into a silence, embracing the comfort in this room. For a second, I thought; I was in Spain. Looking around the room sleepily; noticing I'm not in the bedroom that was mine there.
I have the peace, I thought would be left behind with my lover when I left… This morning or night whatever, it is. I know differently, in this moment; I discovered the happiness, there in Spain, that lives here in my heart.
Outside, when I looked, a few minutes ago the street light right in front is still on. No one is out there, who looks like him; must be real early around the time he leaves. He would wake me and go to work. I felt happy then, just like this. It has to be early, I'm thinking with some certainty, because the traffic noises are starting in the background.
I can feel the momentum of daytime while it loses the quiet inside, the rising sounds from preparing to start the day.
People are stirring now, across the floor and the smell of coffee is coming in through the open window above, my head. I usually, get out of bed when, the early morning sounds become noise, but not yet,
I wait with anticipation… hoping my lover misses me and he is coming to open the door right now and find me waiting for him with my arms stretched, open wide reaching for him. The day becomes the night when we embrace and kiss passionately, for a long time.
I like looking at the softly flowing white drapes, moving with the cold morning air pushing in above my head with the light out of darkness. The smell of the sea and waves crashing on the rocks to calm me down. While I imagine my lover was here; his body separated mine from everything while, he made love to me. I lie here now and think of him with a peaceful memory in my head, in the comfort of his love.

This week the Irish-born Suffolk County Polices Commissioner and the District Attorney announced that they believe there are more than one killer dumping bodies along the Long Island coast, where the remains of 10 victims have been found, however some experts disagree.
Vernon Geberth, a retired New York Police Department (NYPD) detective who has written textbooks on homicide investigations spoke to New York Daily News. He said "I wouldn't be so quick to be talking about multiple killers…The probability of having two serial killers using the same dumping ground is very, very remote - to the point where I don't buy into it."
Another expert in his field N.G. Berrill, a forensic psychologist said "That coincidence, in and of itself, would be remarkable."
Geberth says that the fact that there are two different methods of disposing bodies involved in the case does not mean that investigators are dealing with two killers. He said "I am looking at a serial killer who has basically progressed. He has become more effective at disposing of the bodies. He doesn't have to go through all the work of decapitating his victims."
'Long Island Ripper' now revealed to be at least three killers
Irish cop heading Long Island killer hunt asked to give sex workers immunity
Long Island Butcher, Joel Rifkin, shares his thoughts on Craigslist killer
Berrill said that the killer may have tried dismemberment and moved on from this. He said "If it doesn't satisfy them or it doesn't turn them on, then they may return to a more typical way of murdering these people and getting rid of these bodies."
Barbara Kirwin, a clinical and forensic psychologist, agrees with the investigators suggestions and believes that there are at least two killers. She told the New York Daily News "We are not talking about a person as much as we are talking about a place…That desolate stretch of Gilgo Beach is a haunted graveyard, and what holds it all together is that it is an unpatroled, completely private and deserted place where you can dump a body."
County Laois born Suffolk County Police Commissioner Richard Dormer along with District Attorney Thomas Spota said they now suspect that there were multiple killers dumping the remains of their victims along the isolated Long Island coast.
They believe the first four bodies found on Gilgo Beach are the victims of the same killers. They were all prostitutes who advertised on Craigslist. Their bodies were all wrapped in burlap.
Two other women found nearby, one of them identified as a prostitute, were dismembered years before. Their bodies parts were found near Gilgo, this year and in Manorville, Long Island in 2003.
Another two bodies, an Asian man and a female toddler, have also been found along with two sets of bones. They have not been linked to the women's murders.
