London taxi and minicab guide

London offers 2 types of taxi services, the black London taxis, also known as the London taxi and minicabs which are also called private hire vehicles.

The main differences between the two is that black london taxis are using a meter to price the ride while minicabs aren’t; Black london taxis can be hailed in the street or at designated taxi ranks while Private hire vehicles and minicabs must be booked in advance either online, at an office, by telephone or email.

Minicab companies are licensed and usually offer a cheaper alternative to the black cab as they do not operate a meter. While minicabs fares are generally reasonable, they are not on a meter, instead you should be quoted in advance while making the booking.

Any person who operates private hire vehicles in the London area must be licensed by Transport for London (TfL). By using a licensed operator passengers can have confidence that the driver and vehicle are also licensed by TfL.

Please use this for information only, for an up to date info check with Transport For London.

That is basically the rifle I bought but instead of the polymer lower I had it swapped with metal Rguns lower and a hogue grip put on it.

i stopped by yesterday and they didnt have much. they are still in the process of opening. They dont even have the stuff to give HSC tests yet. Very limited stock of guns and ammo too. I talked with the guy there for a bit and he did seem nice.
I have no idea how this shop will survive though with all the other shops that have tons more selection and all with in 30 minutes driving distance from it. Im just really tired of going to RCGE and having to deal with the crappy service and many of rude customers they have. Im in the market for a compact carry type and a lower receiver so I am planning to see what they can do for me. If they can get me what I want at a fair price I have no problems ordering from them.

The ATF Form 3310.11 seems to be for a firearm lost or stolen once it's in your inventory. I guess if it never made it into my inventory and it's no longer in the sender's inventory, we have a conundrum. I would think it's the sender's responsibility.

A Geographic Information System (GIS Software) is designed to store, retrieve, manage, display, and analyze all types of geographic and spatial data. GIS software lets you produce maps and other graphic displays of geographic information for analysis and presentation.

Ad Maptitude is the lowest-priced, easiest-to-use professional GIS software available. For more information about Maptitude please visit our Maptitude Mapping Software pages. Otherwise, please read on to explore the GIS capabilities of Maptitude.

What is GIS Mapping Software?

GIS software lets you produce maps and other graphic displays of geographic information for analysis and presentation. With these capabilities a GIS is a valuable tool to visualize spatial data or to build decision support systems for use in your organization.

A GIS stores data on geographical features and their characteristics. The features are typically classified as points, lines, or areas, or as raster images. On a map city data could be stored as points, road data could be stored as lines, and boundaries could be stored as areas, while aerial photos or scanned maps could be stored as raster images.

What is gis mapping software?

Geographic Information Systems store information using spatial indices that make it possible to identify the features located in any arbitrary region of a map. For example, a GIS can quickly identify and map all of the locations within a specified radius of a point, or all of the streets that run through a territory.

In addition to the above capabilities, Maptitude implements a professional-strength relational database, a feature critical for GIS software. Attribute data may be freely joined to and detached from geographic layers and tables. Relational data manipulation is integrated with robust and powerful geoprocessing for spatial queries, polygon overlay, and other location-based analyzes. This is supported seamlessly so that data are moved easily to and from relational tables and geographic databases. In addition, the Maptitude fixed-format binary table supports 32,767 fields and 1 billion records, and has unlimited character field widths.

Day Two

ANGELZ - 11:19AM PST, Feb 1st 2009

I've started this day positively by looking at every calorie going into my body, so far. I have also joined the group who uses WII Fitness. I'm really motivated now. God, help me stick to it this time.:bang:

BREEZIN - 2:33PM PST, Feb 5th 2009

Love the hat!
I'm new to CK and my weight loss management program (won't day the "D" word";), and I find the site very easy to use, motivating, and helpful. Here's my going into day 3........

ANGELZ - 7:09PM PST, Feb 4th 2009

I received a message from someone with a bit of encouragement. I will be patient as some of this inability to lose could be from water weight. Continue on!:)

TAZZY - 1:13PM PST, Feb 2nd 2009

I probably qualify for the 50++ group as I am 62 (hovering 63). I haven't visited CalorieKing for several months as I lost the amount of weight I wanted to lose, but since Thanksgiving I have gained back some of the weight. I must get back into taking my weight seriously before I gain all the weight back that I had lost.

Due to being sick I had to stop exercising for a little while and since then I have just had a hard time getting back into a regular routine of exercise. I actually love exercise but just am having a hard time fitting it into my schedule. I know myself well enough to know I am only making excuses to myself. I know how much better I feel when exercising so I don't understand why I am making excuses.

Here I am whining and I should be giving you some motivation. Maybe we can do that for each other. Love to hear from all in this group!

Kim Kardashian is a 'Perfect B!tch', says Kanye West

"I wrote the song Perfect Bitch about Kim," says Kanye West of girlfriend Kim Kardashian.

Photograph by: Pascal Le Segretain , Getty Images

As soon as Kanye West's new track, Perfect Bitch, made its debut at a club in Manhattan last weekend, rumors flew that it was about his new flame Kim Kardashian. Today, West announces via Twitter that Kim is, in fact, the woman he sings about.

A source told the Daily News that the lyrics are "about his search for the perfect woman and how he has now found the 'perfect bitch.'" You know it's true love when someone writes a song about you.

Pokemon Go in Math Class

by Ryan Tindale

Article Image

Long ago, King Solomon coined the proverb “The sun rises and sets, and then hurries the next morning to rise again.” Don’t we find that with trends? They come and go and come back again in all aspects of our society. Think of new releases of old movies or the current interest in Doc Martens. Trends also recur in education. Rubrics were first used in the late 1970s and found their way back into classrooms in the mid-1990s. Then were put in detention for 15 years and resurfaced in the early 2010s. We’ll see you in the late 2020s?

I’m in my early 30s and one trend that has circled in my lifetime is Pokemon. In 1997, my youngest brother TJ came home every day from school to watch Pikachu battle some unknown villain whose name sounded like a sneeze. Fast forward to 2017, and these Japanese cartoon figures are on cards that hide in the desks and backpacks of students from Vancouver to St. John. Can they be used to bolster Math? I think so! Instead of leaving them in the backpacks till recess, have your students take them out and ask to borrow a few for Math class. Last fall, my teaching partner Christina P and I created a lesson that includes Data Management and Number Sense. Check off Mean/Median/Mode, Graphing and Coordinates from the list of concepts that need to be covered in math class. It’s totally legit. Skeptical? Don’t be. Here’s how you can do it too with just a computer.

1. Start with Google Earth and get a screenshot of your school yard. If you’re using Microsoft, look for the Snipping Tool in the magnifying glass in the bottom left corner. If you’re a Google board, then lucky you. There’s an app for that! Grab a screenshot of your school yard, and copy/paste it into Google Drawings or Publisher. Stretch the picture out to cover most of your page but leave an inch or two of white space around the edge. You’ll see why in a moment.

2. Then, click on the “insert” tab at the top, find the “table” icon, and make a 10 x 10 table and drag it over the picture. Stretch it out so it covers the screenshot of your school yard. If your students aren’t ready for a 10x10 table, then scale it down to 6 x 6, or jump up to 15 x 15.

3. Print it out and have your students pencil in coordinates along the bottom and left side of the table. They now have a working grid of their own school yard! I see a real-world connection here every time they step outside for recess.

Then comes the fun part. We piggybacked off the massively popular Pokemon Go app, where you use your cell phone to search for Pokemon characters around your neighbourhood. Admittedly, I’ve yet to download and play the game, but I understand the concept. Students were given a write up (find it at that told students that Pokemon characters were hiding around the school yard and we needed their help to locate them. We borrowed a dozen cards from the hundreds circulating in our classes, and chose twelve plot points on our schoolyard grid—one plot point per card. Fifteen minutes earlier, we were outside with five minutes left in lunch recess and when the bell rang and students were walking in from the schoolyard, we circled in behind them and discreetly dropped cards in the vicinity of our predetermined plot points. It helped that there were two of us because we could cover more ground than one person could. Once attendance was taken, we handed out the pieces of paper that had the activity’s instructions and our schoolyard grid and had students label their graphs with letters on the x-axis and numbers on the y-axis. When they finished and the cheering dimmed, students lined up at the door, armed with pencils and their papers. It was refreshing to see boys racing to the door, ready to find and corral those Pokemon characters. We walked out of the school surprisingly calmly to a central meeting spot. It’s interesting that behaviour issues often lessen when students are engaged and having fun. We gave a 5,4,3,2,1 countdown and off went the stampede. Classes inside were peeking out their windows, curiously wondering why students were running across the yard with clipboards. I’m confident that if any superintendent or admin questioned my students, 95% of them could say we’re looking for Pokemon cards and we’re plotting the spot in the yard where they are hiding. The educational goals and success criteria were as clear as the sun that filled the outdoor classroom they were learning in that afternoon.

When most groups had found the characters, we came back inside and took up the 12 plot points. An extension to the activity is mean, median and mode because each Pokemon card is a character with varying degrees of “damage” ranging from 10 to 200+ points. On the handout we distributed, there were columns to write the character’s name, their coordinates and their health damage. These health damages were the key to tying in the number sense. What was the mean average of the 12 characters? Was there a mode? Finally, another extension activity is have students graph the health damages of the twelve characters on a bar graph. You could push them further and have them do a double bar graph of the character’s damage compared to the mean average.

When I teach workshops on creativity in the classroom, I try to end many of them with a question, which I’ll leave with you: If you were 10 years old, would you want to be in your classroom? Is your classroom dull or is it bright? Do your lessons spark creativity? Would you want to be in your own class? As sure as Solomon’s wisdom of the sun rising again tomorrow is true, you’ll have another chance to refresh your practice tomorrow morning. Be encouraged and be creative. Have a good year.

WIND BENEATH OUR WINGS (Reflections on the Solemnity of Pentecost, Acts 2:1-11, John 20:19-23)

On the 10th of June 2005, the heaviest and most spacious civil aircraft ever built landed at the Miami International Airport amid great fanfare and a spectacular welcome. The inaugural flight into Miami had 526 passengers. The Airbus A380 is a 237-foot, 79-foot high, 421-ton plane that weighs 1.3 million pounds and can carry several hundred tons of weight.

A couple of years ago, when news that these flying behemoths were finally taking to the air, a lot of articles and TV features came out showing how some of these planes would have fitness centers, health spas, conference areas and actual beds. Folks who happened to be passing by the Miami airport on that June 2005 afternoon said it was quite a sight to see this magnificent piece of human engineering in flight and eventually landing.

I remember visiting the Smithsonian in DC some years ago and saw the exhibit of the Wright Brothers' plane. Looking at the flimsy-looking contraption, I thought it was mind-boggling to think how aviation has come a long way from that simple plane to the airliners today that carry immense loads at top speeds.

Just think of all the weight loaded into a plane whenever you fly. It’s amazing, mind-boggling even, to think that these things even get off the ground.

The fact is, every time we fly, we sit in a marvel of human technology unthinkable just a little over a hundred years ago. In 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright’s plane traveled a total of 20 feet in 12 seconds. That airbus that flew into Miami airport that June 10th can fly more than 6,000 miles nonstop while carrying 421 tons of weight.

But what’s even more amazing is that both the very light Wright brothers’ plane and the monstrous A380 have one thing in common that makes both of them fly. It’s the wind beneath their wings. Wind, a very simple element of nature, is at the very heart of what gives lift to these marvels of human ingenuity. We don’t even notice it most of the time. And yet it is what carries a plane, allowing it to travel in air.

And yet, wind alone isn’t enough. Wind alone doesn’t explain how planes fly. Whether a hundred years ago or today, flying, longer, heavier and faster, is a combination of two things: human power and the power of nature. Human technology and the simple elements of nature work together and produce things that seem impossible.

What’s true of flight, is true of faith. If technology and wind give flight, God’s grace and our cooperation create faith and give it flight.

Today’s Solemnity of Pentecost, celebrates the coming of the Holy Spirit on the disciples. The first reading tells us that after Jesus had left, they were all gathered together in one place. Imagine what the sight must have been. There they were, huddled in one room, still fearful and feeling orphaned by Jesus’ departure.

They were not yet the strong and brave men and women who would one day give their lives for the faith.

Suddenly though, a mighty wind blew and the Holy Spirit came upon them as tongues of fire. Suddenly, they felt empowered. They were no longer afraid. They burst out of that dark room and began preaching the gospel.

Like the giant Airbus 380, these men and women who had heavy hearts, suddenly felt lifted up by a mighty wind. Suddenly they felt tremendous power coursing through them. They felt they could do anything. It was a truly amazing transformation!

Pentecost is a celebration of the power that God gives us, like the wind that raises a plane and gives it lift, defying even gravity itself.

God’s Spirit is the wind beneath our wings. It is he who gives us courage and strength to defy great odds and do great things. It is he who empowers us.

“Receive the Holy Spirit”, Jesus tells us in the gospel. If we believe in those words, we will accomplish great things. And there is no limit to the wonders God can do through us.

For Pentecost is also an invitation for us to cooperate with God’s action in our lives. It invites us to leave our own dark rooms where we lock ourselves up sometimes, just like the disciples.

And we all have our dark rooms. For some it is fear, sadness, an addiction perhaps, despair, and anger. For others it is perhaps the dark room of betrayal, frustration, loneliness, selfishness and sin. Whatever it might be, Jesus invites us today to leave that room behind.

He sends us his Spirit and commands us as he once commanded Lazarus: “Come forth”.

He says to each one of us: Come out and leave the darkened areas of your life behind. Receive the Spirit and feel God’s power coursing through you. Receive the Holy Spirit and however heavy your burdens, they will be made light. Receive the Holy Spirit and see your spirit take flight.

Like the mighty Airbus 380, the Spirit can raise us up beyond anything we can imagine. Pentecost tells us that God has empowered us; and that power is there for our taking. Let us accept it into our hearts. So that like the disciples, on that magnificent Pentecost, we can finally leave the darkened rooms of our lives, and proclaim with all the faith, courage, and trust the Spirit allows us to muster: “With God I can accomplish anything”.

"The Kingdom of Heaven is a condition of the heart." (Friedrich Nietzsche)

5 Ways Our New Kitten Acts Like an Old Soul

She might be young, but this baby cat seems wise beyond her weeks.

Heather Marcoux  |  Jun 24th 2014

When we welcomed the newest member of our household, Specter, into our home, we knew she was very, very young, and (sadly) should have still been with her mother. And yet, though I expected an immature attitude from this little one, she also seems wise beyond her weeks.

Here are five reasons why this baby cat seems like she’s already lived nine lives.

1. She is not scared of anyone

Despite being smaller and lighter than most of my shoes, this kitten thinks she can kick ass. When confronted with other animals, she puts her back up and refuses to back down. The first time she met Ghost Cat, she stood on the stairs like a statue, trying to make herself appear as big as possible. She hissed as ferociously as someone her size can and stared Ghost Cat down. In the end, Ghost Cat was the one who ran away from little Specter.

2. She knows how and when to make friends

It obviously wasn’t love at first sight, but over the course of time and slow follow-up meetings, Specter decided she’d changed her mind about Ghost Cat and extended a tiny paw in friendship. The little fluff ball seems to have developed a bit of a crush, and chases my bigger baby around whenever the two meet. She also allows Ghost Cat to groom her, perhaps knowing that a little licking would strengthen the new friendship.

3. She accessorizes like an old lady

She’s got her own blankets, but Specter seems to prefer one of my scarves for both sleeping and getting dressed up. I don’t know if it’s the color or the floral pattern that does it for her, but Specter has laid claim to this accessory, which would not look out of place at a seniors center.

4. She helps with home projects

Whether we’re painting or mounting flatscreens, this little helper always makes sure she’s around when it’s time to tackle something around the house. The sound of the drill brings her running, and unlike Ghost Cat (who had a get a bit of a haircut) Specter has never brushed up against wet paint. She’s like an adorable supervisor on our construction site.

5. She knows when to ask for help

She may not be scared of anything, but Specter does know when she’s in too deep (or in this case, up too high), and she’s not too embarrassed to say so. Sometimes she just needs a human hand to help her down from a high shelf, and she lets us know by yelling at the top of her little lungs. On other occasions, she’s just yelling because she needs a warm place to cuddle, and her humans are happy to help then, too.

Have you ever had a kitten who seemed to have highly developed emotional intelligence at an early age, or mastered skills an older cat could not? Let us know in the comments!

Canada's wrongful convictions

Cases where the courts got it wrong

Joyce Milgaard makes a phone call after the release of a Saskatchewan report into the wrongful conviction of her son, David Milgaard, in September 2008. The report praised her 'epic struggle' in seeking David's release during his more than 22 years behind bars. ((Geoff Howe/Canadian Press))

They languished behind bars for years, wrongfully jailed for crimes they did not commit.

But the high-profile ordeals of Donald Marshall Jr., David Milgaard and others have put a spotlight on what has been called the fallibility of Canadian justice.

High-profile cases

These cases are not unique and certainly not isolated to Canada, although estimates of the actual number of wrongful convictions vary widely.

Each miscarriage of justice, however, deals a blow to a society's confidence in the legal system, experts say.

"Wrongful convictions undermine the two prongs of the criminal justice system's legitimacy," states a 1992 report prepared by the Library of Parliament. "If someone is wrongfully convicted, that person is punished for an offence he or she did not commit and the actual perpetrator of the crime goes free."

To make it worse, advocates say many who were ultimately exonerated watched their applications stall for years in the federal review board process.

In 2000, federal Justice Minister Anne McLellan announced plans to try to prevent such cases from happening again. The changes, since enacted in the Criminal Code of Canada, enable the justice minister to use his or her discretion to respond to persons who believe they have been wrongfully convicted.

Groups such as the Association in Defence of the Wrongfully Convicted have also advocated on behalf of those they say have been jailed unfairly.

Here are some of the major cases in recent Canadian history:

James Driskell

James Driskell speaks to reporters in April 2006 during a meeting in Winnipeg before the inquiry into his wrongful murder conviction. ((Wayne Glowacki/Winnipeg Free Press/Canadian Press) )

Perry Harder of Winnipeg had been shot several times in the chest in September 1990. Driskell — his friend — was convicted and sentenced to life in prison a year later.

The RCMP said three hair samples found in Driskell's van were Harder's, and that evidence convicted him. Later test results from the U.K. found none of the hairs belonged to Harder.

Driskell was granted bail in November 2003. The federal justice minister at the time, Liberal Irwin Cotler, quashed the conviction and ordered a new trial in 2005. Despite that, the Manitoba government opted to stay the trial and end the case without exonerating Driskell. It also called for a public inquiry into the case.

The inquiry's final report, released in February 2007, said the jury in Driskell's trial was "seriously misled" on issues including the reliability of a key Crown witness. The report also said the failure of the Crown to disclose information to the defence was "careless indifference."

Anthony Hanemaayer

In 1987, Hanemaayer was charged with assault in connection with a knifepoint attack on a 15-year-old girl. The Toronto resident pleaded guilty part way through his trial and was sentenced to two years less a day in jail.

Hanemaayer said in a later interview with CBC News that he accepted a plea bargain on the advice of his then-lawyer, who warned he could receive a long prison sentence.

In 2006, convicted murderer and rapist Paul Bernardo confessed to the crime during a jailhouse interview. The Association in Defence of the Wrongly Convicted learned of the confession and took up the case. Hanemaayer, now 40 and living in London, Ont., took his case to the Ontario Court of Appeal and was acquitted on June 25, 2008.

Donald Marshall Jr.

In 1971, Marshall was wrongfully convicted of murdering his friend, Sandy Seale, in a Sydney, N.S., park. Marshall was just 17 years old when he received a life sentence.

Donald Marshall Jr. was exonerated by a royal commission in 1990 that determined systemic racism had contributed to his wrongful imprisonment. ((Ken Gigliotti/Canadian Press))

He was released in 1982 after RCMP reviewed his case. He was cleared by the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal the following year. Though the Appeal Court declared him not guilty, Marshall was told he had contributed to his own conviction and that any miscarriage of justice was more apparent than real.

Marshall, a Mi'kmaq, was exonerated by a royal commission in 1990 that determined systemic racism had contributed to his wrongful imprisonment. The seven-volume report pointed the finger at police, judges, Marshall's original defence lawyers, Crown lawyers and bureaucrats.

Roy Ebsary, an eccentric who bragged about being skilled with knives, was eventually convicted of manslaughter in Seale's death and spent a year in jail.

Marshall died in a Sydney hospital in August 2009 after a lengthy illness. He was 55.

Simon Marshall

Simon Marshall was imprisoned from 1997 to 2003 after he wrongly confessed to a string of sexual assaults in Ste-Foy, a Quebec City suburb. A DNA test later cleared Marshall, a mentally handicapped man. The Quebec Court of Appeal ruled he was a victim of miscarried justice and ordered his criminal record expunged.

It was later found that DNA evidence first collected in the investigation that led to Marshall's conviction was never tested. An inquiry also revealed multiple breaches in police conduct during the investigation.

In December 2006, the Quebec government awarded the 24-year-old $2.3 million, the highest wrongful conviction compensation to date in the province. The money went to Marshall's parents, who are in charge of his care.

David Milgaard

A Saskatchewan inquiry found that the judicial system failed David Milgaard, shown here in a 2005 photo. ((Geoff Howe/Canadian Press))

Milgaard was charged with the 1969 murder of Saskatoon nursing aide Gail Miller and in January 1970 was sentenced to life in prison. Appeals to the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal and Supreme Court of Canada in the two years after his conviction were unsuccessful.

Milgaard's mother, Joyce, believed from the day he was arrested that her son was innocent. She kept his case alive, talking to whoever would listen — and many who didn't — while he spent more than two decades in prison.

In 1991, Justice Minister Kim Campbell directed the Supreme Court of Canada to review the conviction. The Supreme Court of Canada set it aside in 1992, and Milgaard was subsequently cleared by DNA evidence five years later.

The Saskatchewan government awarded Milgaard $10 million for his wrongful conviction in 1999. That same year, Larry Fisher was found guilty of the rape and stabbing death of Gail Miller.

A provincial judicial inquiry, which released a  comprehensive 815-page report in September 2008, concluded that "the criminal justice system failed David Milgaard." The inquiry also found that Milgaard might have been released from jail years sooner if police had followed up on a lead they received in 1980.

Guy Paul Morin

Christine Jessop, a nine-year-old girl, disappeared from her Queensville, Ont., home in October 1984. Her body was found in a farmer's field two months later. Guy Paul Morin, the Jessops' next-door neighbour in the community about 60 km north of Toronto, was later charged with her murder.

Morin was acquitted in 1986, but a new trial was ordered by the Ontario Court of Appeal. At this second trial, Morin was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.

He appealed and in 1995 was exonerated by DNA testing.

A public inquiry into the case was called, and its report was tabled in 1998. It concluded that mistakes by the police, prosecutors and forensic scientists combined to send an innocent man to jail.

William Mullins-Johnson

William Mullins-Johnson was wrongfully convicted in the death of his niece. ((CBC))

William Mullins-Johnson was convicted in the 1994 slaying of his four-year-old niece. He spent more than 12 years in prison for first-degree murder, partly on the now-questionable testimony of a discredited pathologist.

However, Crown prosecutors called for the Sault Ste. Marie man's acquittal, which was granted by the Ontario Court of Appeal on Oct. 15, 2007.

The Crown apologized in the Toronto courtroom for all the hardship caused.

"I wish to extend our sincere, profound and deepest apology to Mr. Mullins-Johnson and to his family for the miscarriage of justice that occurred," lawyer Michal Fairburn said.

Romeo Phillion

Ottawa firefighter Leopold Roy was stabbed to death in August 1967 and Romeo Phillion was convicted of his murder five years later. Though Phillion confessed while in custody on a robbery charge, he immediately recanted and has maintained his innocence ever since.

In May 2003 — 30 years into Phillion's sentence — a group of law students from York University sought  to secure Phillion's exoneration. One basis for their application was a police report, not shown to the defence at the original trial, that placed Phillion 200 kilometres away at the time of the crime.

Phillion was granted bail two months later while the federal justice minister investigated.

In January 2008, the Ontario Court of Appeal reopened Phillion's case. Phillion's former defence lawyer, Arthur Cogan, said that Phillion's original confession to the crime was a desperate bid to protect his gay lover from other charges.

The Court of Appeal struck down Phillion's conviction in March 2009 and ordered a new trial, although it stopped short of a full acquittal.

Thomas Sophonow

Winnipeg police announced in June 2000 that evidence had cleared Thomas Sophonow in the killing of doughnut-shop clerk Barbara Stoppel.

Authorities said they had a new suspect in the 1981 murder for which Sophonow was tried three times and spent nearly four years behind bars. The Manitoba Court of Appeal acquitted him in 1985.

The Manitoba government released a report in 2001 by retired Supreme Court judge Peter Cory with 43 recommendations.

Cory said Sophonow should receive $2.6 million in government compensation (50 per cent from the City of Winnipeg, 40 per cent from the Manitoba government and 10 per cent from the federal government) for his wrongful murder conviction.

Steven Truscott

Steven Truscott's conviction was overturned in 2007. ((Adrian Wyld/Canadian Press))

In 1959, Truscott was sentenced to be hanged at age 14 for a schoolmate's murder, becoming Canada's youngest death-row inmate.

After the original conviction, he spent four months in the shadow of the gallows until his death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. Paroled in 1969, Truscott disappeared into an anonymous existence in a southern Ontario city.

On Aug. 28, 2007 — 48 years later — the Ontario Court of Appeal unanimously overturned Truscott's conviction and acquitted him, declaring the case "a miscarriage of justice" that "must be quashed."

The judges went on to say, however, that "the court is not satisfied that the appellant has been able to demonstrate his factual innocence."

In July 2008, the Ontario government announced it would pay Truscott $6.5 million in compensation for his ordeal.

Kyle Unger

In June 1990, Brigitte Grenier died near Roseisle, Man., where she was attending an outdoor rock concert. The 16-year-old was beaten, strangled and sexually mutilated.

Kyle Unger and another man, Timothy Houlahan, were convicted of first-degree murder in connection with her death in 1992. Houlahan was released on bail after the Manitoba Court of Appeal overturned his conviction in 1994, and he committed suicide later that year.

Unger's initial appeal, meanwhile, was rejected and his application for a Supreme Court of Canada appeal was denied. But in 2004, new DNA testing suggested a strand of hair found at the scene of the crime and originally used to convict Unger did not come from him. He was granted bail in November 2005.

Then in March 2009, federal Justice Minister Rob Nicholson announced that a new trial had been ordered. Unger's lawyer said at the time that police and prosecutors kept evidence from the defence during the original trial and used a jailhouse informant who was not credible.

The Manitoba Crown ultimately decided that it did not have enough evidence for a retrial. In October 2009, a Manitoba court acquitted Unger and he walked away a free man.

"Finally," a smiling Unger told reporters outside the courthouse. "It's still surreal, almost."

Erin Walsh

It took a jury just one hour to find Walsh guilty of the 1975 second-degree murder of Melvin (Chi Chi) Peters in Saint John, N.B. The prosecution saw it as an open-and-shut case, and Walsh received a life sentence with no parole before 10 years.

Walsh's appeals to the New Brunswick Court of Appeal were dismissed in July and November 1982. In December 2006, however, his lawyers sought a review of the murder conviction from the federal government after new evidence came to light.

The evidence, obtained by Walsh as part of a 2005 access-to-information request, included reports of jailhouse conversations that suggested someone else shot Peters.

In February 2008, Justice Minister Rob Nicholson ordered a review of the murder conviction, suggesting a miscarriage of justice likely occurred.

A month later, the New Brunswick Court of Appeal acquitted Walsh of the crime and overturned his conviction. Walsh, a native of Ontario who had maintained his innocence for more than 32 years, was dying of colon cancer and wanted his name cleared.

Walsh died at his home in Kingston, Ont., on Oct. 14, 2010. He was 62.

Racial Disparities in Colon Cancer Screening Persist Despite Insurance, Access

Release Date: December 12, 2011 | By David Pittman, Contributing Writer
Research Source: Health Services Research

  • Black and Hispanic Medicare patients are less likely than white Medicare patients to receive colonoscopies, even when controlling for insurance coverage and provider availability.
  • As provider availability increased, whites had slightly higher rates of colonoscopy use while blacks and Hispanics had lower rates of use.
  • Experts suggest that costs and cultural attitudes toward health care may contribute to the disparities in colonoscopy rates between black, white and Hispanic people.
Follow us on Facebook

Public health researchers have long attributed the disparity in colonoscopy rates between whites and minorities to a lack of health insurance or access to doctors. Now, a new study suggests the reasons for the differences are more complex.

Researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston found greater racial disparities in colonoscopy rates in areas where more doctors were available. Associate Surgery Professor Taylor S. Riall, M.D., Ph.D. and colleagues looked at nearly one million Texas Medicare patients and – even after adjusting for the availability of colonoscopists and primary-care physicians – found blacks still were 20 percent less likely and Hispanics were 32 percent less likely than whites to receive a colonoscopy. Indeed, as the availability of colonoscopists and primary care physicians increased, whites had slight increases in colonoscopy use while blacks and Hispanics had decreases in use.

By only examining Medicare patients, the study, published in the journal Health Services Research, ruled out insurance coverage as a possible inhibitor. However, the authors surmised that the cost of the procedure might be another barrier. “Colonoscopies, even when covered by Medicare, are still expensive [due to co-pays],” Riall said.

Cultural differences and existing attitudes toward health care in minorities could contribute to the disparity, Riall suggested. “We think that a combination of things may inhibit certain racial and ethnic minorities from taking advantage of an increased supply of colonoscopists,” she said, adding that colonoscopies might not be realistic for those of lower socioeconomic status.

The trend toward a colonoscopy-only approach to detecting colorectal cancer could further widen disparities in screening, Riall said.

Electra D. Paskett, Ph.D., professor of epidemiology at Ohio State University, said fecal occult blood testing, which checks stool samples for hidden blood, is an acceptable, less invasive alternative form of colon-cancer screening. The United Kingdom has implemented the test countrywide with such success that its incidence of colon cancer has dropped, she said.

“I think we need as a society to start opening up our minds and not just think colonoscopy is the only validated colorectal cancer screening, because it’s not,” Paskett said.

Waterbank at Dakota teases buyers

Waterbank@Dakota will be the next major condo to be put under the microscope - by both home buyers and investors. Why?

  • It is very close to town (much much closer than some recent launches)
  • It is very close to the Dakota MRT station (~200m) though you have to walk through a HDB estate to get there
  • It can be "sold" as waterfront living to some gullible "ang mo"
  • There are a good number of studios, 1+1, 2BR and even some Dual Key units which mean total prices would be small-er.
  • This area has been largely ignored for the longest time and has been "rejuvenated"

Above is a rough location map for you guys to get an idea where this condo really sits (for rough illustration purpose only). Quite obviously the south facing units will get pretty much an unblocked view due to the landed housing estate across the river. artist's illustration of the landed estate view and beyond (Marine Parade).

The real deal...waterfront living? We hope they have cleaned it up! You can see the uncompleted Dakota Residence in the background(taken last year by a contributor).

UOL, the developers, purchased the land in a hotly contested tender back in October 2009. Their bid of $329m worked out to $508 psf ppr.

And the details:

Tenure: 99 yr
District: 14
Developer: UOL Group Limited
Estimated TOP: ?
Blocks: 8
Floors: 19-20
Units: 616 total, Studio(77), 1+1(98), 2(78), 3(271), 4(37), Cabana(11), Dual Key(39), Penthouse(5)
Typical Sizes:
Studio (~480 sqft)
1+1 (~630 sqft)
2 (~880 sqft)
3 (~1,150 - 1,270 sqft)
4 (~1,610 sqft)
Cabana (~1,340 sqft)
Dual Key (~1,300 sqft)
Penthouse (~2,430 - 2,870 sqft)

An artist's illustration of the pool...interesting poolside units on the right eh?

Notable Facilities:
  • Infinity-edge leisure pool
  • 50m Lap Pool
  • Wading pool
  • Steam Room
  • Jacuzzi
  • Half basketball court
  • BBQ
  • Gym
  • Bubble bed (?!)

Price? We heard it might be in the $1100-1250psf range. Making some calls, we heard these are some speculated prices:

490sqft, 1BR - $650k
630sqft, 1+1BR - $700k
880sqft, 2BR - $1,050k

Close to town and only $1100-1250psf in this crazy market? Sounds like a mad deal? Just remember to check for resale prices in the vicinity, who knows you might get an even better deal.

The VIP preview is tomorrow, so move fast if you want this place!

[Editor's Note: We have previously stated the site to be in District 15, however, we think now that this site is in District 14 instead. Checks on the URA website did not reveal the postal district as the development has not been awarded an address yet.

Blk 58 Dakota Crescent, the HDB just opposite this site, has a postal code of 390058, which sets it in District 14, according to this chart. So, it's safe to assume for the moment that Waterbank is in District 14.]

Wise Words

Over the weekend I helped Will clean out his desk. I found, among other strange odds and ends and partially shoved into a workbook, a note I'd written for myself months ago. I must have carried the note into Will's room and accidentally left it sitting on his desk, where he happened upon it and used it as a place to store his ABC gum.

As I carried the note toward the trash can, I happened to notice that back side - as well as the front (gum storage) side - had been written on. The handwriting didn't belong to me though...

When life is rough, just keep on going and you will make it. Never stop trying because you will always get there.

I hope these wise words - courtesy of my wise-beyond-his-nine-years little boy - help you start your Monday morning off on the right foot.

Edinboro Castle, Camden Town

I recently attended a friends birthday party at this quaint Camden boozer. The menu looked good and i had my eye on the pork belly, but was told that they had just run out of it. With a waitress and table full of people waiting for my decision, my emergency backup response kicked in "I'll have the cheeseburger please" and i'm so glad i did.

The Edinboro Castle surprised the hell out of me by serving up such a good cheeseburger. The meat patty came cooked medium and was juicy and full flavoured. I was so impressed i had to find the chef and ask him how he made it. Apparently they mince chuck steak, around 20% lean, and mix into it their own special mix of very finely chopped onions, Worester sauce and mustard which has been sweated down in butter. Its a subtle flavour addition which is in no way overpowering, it just adds a creamy richness to the beef taste. The burger starts at the bottom with a lightly toasted white bun, then there's a slice of iceberg lettuce, a thick slice of beef tomato, the patty, crispy smoked bacon rashers, melted cheddar and the top bun.
The french fries are crisp and hot, the crunchy pickles are good and there's a little tub of homemade coleslaw to finish the plate. Brilliant. A bargain for under a tenner.
Being in a large bustling pub i was prepared for a fairly average meal, but was delighted with the food. The staff were friendly too. There's a huge outdoor area which is fun in the summer although it does get extremely busy, and if i recall correctly they have little BBQs out there for a quicker bite. There's also a good selection of ales on tap, especially the local Camden Town Brewery who make some good stuff. Well worth a visit.

Reagan's former Pacific Palisades home rates presidential premium

A home in Pacific Palisades that once belonged to President Reagan has sold for $5.211 million. The mid-century-style house had been listed two months ago at $4.999 million. That’s a 4% presidential premium.

Set on close to two-thirds of an acre in the Riviera neighborhood, the single-story house features floor-to-ceiling windows, a den with a wet bar, a flagstone fireplace, an island in the kitchen, four bedrooms, four bathrooms and 4,764 square feet of living space. The house opens to a swimming pool and patio with city and ocean views.

Designed by William R. Stephenson and built in 1956, the General Electric Showcase House was state-of-the-art for the time in terms of energy-saving amenities.

The property last sold in 1988 for $1.95 million, public records show.

Sally Forster Jones of Coldwell Banker’s Beverly Hills South office was the listing agent. Michael Manheim of Prudential’s Brentwood office represented the buyer.

A better use of money

I have been driving since 1947.

In those early days we were driving on cross-ply tyres with hub brakes, yet our legislators felt it reasonable to fix the speed limit at 30mph.

It now seems the public have been seduced by the slogan ‘20’s plenty’, without fully recognising the consequences of their actions.

First I would like to remind the public that a speed limit lasts for 24 hours and not just during busy time, so when a driver is returning late at night along The Avenue or The Drive, and he reaches 30mph he will be committing an offence.

Bus timetables will have to be changed, especially for the Summersdale bus No 60.

I do not feel spending £100,000 is a good use of taxpayers’ money.

A better use would be to sort out the drains which flood at each bout of heavy rain.

Lastly, from my experience of ten years in Chichester Police, it is not the careful driver which causes accidents, but the one who is quite prepared to disregard any speed limit whenever or whatever the conditions.

Happy Ramen Lunch at Ukkokei

Since it was a holiday last January 31, the hubby and I grabbed the chance to have a lunch date at Ukkokei Ramen Ron in Makati. The timing was perfect since there was minimal traffic in Makati due to the holiday.

Ukkokei Ramen Ron is located in the ground floor of Paseo Tesoro building along A. Arnaiz Avenue in Makati.

The restaurant is spacious and can accommodate groups of people. They have different types of seating too. Upon entering the restaurant, you immediately see the low traditional Japanese tables where you leave your shoes aside and sit on pillows on the floor. This type of seating is called zashiki (thank you Google for the reference!).

You can also choose to sit by the bar. You have full view of their glass-encased kitchen that way.

We chose to sit at the Western style seating area found to the right of the restaurant upon entry. They prefer to seat the smaller groups of 2-3 here since they can simply separate the tables.

We ordered their lunch set (priced at P380). Since the Higawari set is not available, both of us ordered Set A. They have 2 rules for their lunch set: (1) It's good for one person. Don't share a lunch set with another!, and (2) They don't offer it for take-out.

Here's the yummy vegetable and macaroni salad that comes with the set.

You can choose which rice you prefer -- fried rice or plain.

Gyoza. Honestly, it's not as good as the ones they serve in Seryna in Little Tokyo.

My husband ordered Tamago on the side as extra order. Don't ask me how it was. I don't eat egg! The husband says it's not as good as the one they have in Yushoken Molito though.

And now for the main event -- the ramen! Their menu made me understand ramen better. Ramen in Ukkokei is available in 3 different sauces: Shoyu (soy), Shio (salt) and Miso (soybean paste). When ordering the lunch set, you can just specify which kind of sauce you'd prefer.

A quick tip: They also offer Tantanmen ramen (spicy-flavored ramen), but it's not available on the menu. They only have a few bowls to offer each day since this item is limited, so make sure you head to Ukkokei early if you want the Tantanmen!

We were extremely happy with our ramen at Ukkokei. I ordered Miso ramen, while the husband ordered Shoyu and both were equally tasty. We honestly prefer this ramen over the Yushoken ramen at Molito. If you're craving for ramen, Ukkokei is an excellent bet. Make sure that you go early during lunch time to get a seat.

  • Going The Extra Step In Teaching Kids The Value Of Money

    This morning on Good Day LA, there was a brief story on a teacher at a school in West Hills who promised his fourth grade class that if they raised $1,000 for Katrina victims, he would shave his head. They did and he did. I thought it was nice to see an adult keep his promise to kids.

    Dorothy Lucey reported that the entire school raised over $8,000 for Katrina victims. I wondered if the money would be donated to the Red Cross, which seems to be the default for such donations. You might recall, though, that after checking Charity Navigator, I decided my money would be better off with Americares (because their administrative and fundraising costs were much lower).

    Moreover, despite a front-page LA Times story about his 30-year history of faking credentials to gain prominent jobs, the Red Cross hired a man named Fred Brito as chief development officer in Pasadena, where he would have overseen fundraising of an area that covers 30 cities if he hadn’t been exposed before the end of his probationary period.

    I think it would be a terrific lesson in money management if the teachers at the elementary school would present all of this information to their students, and discuss how to distribute the money with them. Maybe the students would decide that the money should go the Red Cross anyway, because their reach is so great and their history of doing good is well-documented. Maybe they would decide to donate the money to Americares or another organization. Or maybe they would decide to split the donation among several groups. No matter the outcome, the lesson about charity and compassion would be extended to encompass research, analytical thinking and money management. Now that’s worth teaching.

      You spoke of me in your blog regarding the Red Cross of Pasadena hiring me as their Chief Development Director.

      While it was true that they did hore me, it is also true that they knew of my background and only fired me when some one leaked the news.

      The CEO of the Pasadena Red Cross Angie Turner knowing that she had a hot potato to deal with immediately fired me in order to look innocent.

      I could tell you the whole story but what is the use? I am off to bigger and better efforts.

      You can read about it at http://WWW.FREDBRITO.COM
      or here at my other blog,
      The National Non-Violent Ex-Offenders Legislative Lobby.

      There is always two sides to a story.
