Record number of images showing children being abused removed by UK internet charity
More than 100,000 web pages showing the sexual abuse and sexual torture of children have been removed from the internet thanks to the work of the UK's Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) in 2018 – up by one third on the year before.
Announcing its latest figures, which break previous totals, their Chief Executive Susie Hargreaves OBE described it as "shocking and deeply upsetting" that these images should have been created in the first place.
In 2018, 4 out of 10 of the web pages the IWF actioned for removal displayed the sexual abuse of children aged 10 years old and younger, with infants and babies featuring more than 1,300 times.
Home Secretary, Rt. Hon. Sajid Javid MP said:
"The horrifying amount of online child sexual abuse material removed by the IWF shows the true scale of the vile threat we are facing. This is why I have made tackling it one of my personal missions.
"I welcome this impressive work and have been encouraged by the progress being made by the tech companies in the fight against online predators. But l want the web giants to do more to make their platforms safe."
Ms Hargreaves said:
"These 105,047 web pages each contained up to thousands of images and videos showing the sexual abuse of children. It amounted to millions of horrific images. Virtually all (more than 99%) were hosted outside of the UK. Whilst we use sophisticated and cutting-edge technology in our work**, ultimately, every webpage was assessed by human eyes.
"Watching the repeated abuse of children, some of whom are very young, is a difficult job but we have an amazing team of compassionate, resilient and highly trained Internet Content Analysts. They work to give hope to the victims of sexual abuse whose images are shared online repeatedly.
"We work with more than 140 internet companies to keep their networks safe but it's a sad fact that the vast majority of these web pages (4 out of 5) were hosted by image hosting companies* based overseas, who do not want to engage, and frankly have little regard to providing safe networks, or relieving the suffering of child victims."
About the one-third increase in criminal webpages identified, Ms Hargreaves added:
"With just 13 analysts we can do a tremendous amount of work. In fact, we processed 230,000 reports in total. But it's the development of new technology, such as our intelligent crawler and our bespoke report management system, which has enabled us to process criminal images a lot quicker, and also identify more for removal. Nevertheless, a real person has seen and verified each of the web pages.
"It is shocking and deeply upsetting that these images should have been created in the first place. We have set ourselves an ambitious programme of work for 2019. By getting better at finding, and combatting this material, we offer real hope to the victims whose images are shared online."
The full 2018 IWF statistics and trends analysis will feature in the 2018 Annual Report, to be published April 2019.

105,047 URLs were assessed by IWF Analysts as containing child sexual abuse material during 2018.
Breakdown of the 105,047 URLs by country (top 5)
- Netherlands – 49%
- United States – 13%
- Russia – 12%
- Slovak Republic – 11%
- France – 7%
*Image hosting companies were responsible for hosting 82% of all the child sexual abuse web pages IWF analysts identified in 2018. An image hosting service lets users upload images which are then available through a unique URL. This URL can be used to make online links, or be embedded in other websites, forums and social networking sites.
- In 4 out of 5 occasions when we saw child sexual abuse imagery on web pages, the victims were girls.
- Just under a fifth showed boys and in a very small amount of imagery, we saw children of both genders.
Less than 1% of child sexual abuse imagery is hosted in the UK.
** We use sophisticated and cutting-edge technology in our work.
Our Intelligent Crawler
Whilst we have the capability to crawl millions of web pages a day searching for child sexual abuse imagery, we are proud to use our intelligent crawler to be most effective for our analysts, sister hotlines, and law enforcement partners around the world. Ultimately, human eyes verify each webpage showing such criminal content before we work with the relevant country and internet company to get it removed. We have an ambitious programme or work for 2019 around preventing the images from being uploaded in the first place.
Report Management System v4
We've developed and launched a fourth iteration of our report management system which is a bespoke system used by our highly trained analysts to assess child sexual abuse imagery. This has contributed to a 50% saving of time needed to perform assessments. This has undoubtedly contributed to our 13 analysts identifying more than 100,000 web pages showing child sexual abuse imagery in 2018.
The IWF Hash List
We turn child sexual abuse images into unique codes (hashes). There are more than 320,000 unique hashes of illegal images on our list which we make available to the internet industry. It means they can remove matching images already on their services, and even prevent them from being uploaded.
Catherine, an IWF Internet Content Analyst:
"I've worked for IWF for 10 years now and during that time I've had two children of my own. Having a family has affected the way I feel about my work but in a positive way. I want every second to count and doing a meaningful job is incredibly satisfying.
"Like most of the analysts, finding images of babies being abused is one of the hardest things. As a human being, you are always going to be sensitive to this. Some of the hideous things offenders are capable of inflicting on innocent children are unbelievable. But we're highly trained to deal with this and it makes me even more motivated to search for any associated imagery and get it removed from the web.
"For us, the Holy Grail of an analyst's work is finding an image, or information that could lead to the rescue of a child. Recently, I identified a video that had been captured via a webcam. It appeared new and suddenly I felt like a clock was ticking – could I find any clues or evidence that could lead police to this child? I immediately called in our Manager and the information we identified was passed on and flagged to CEOP, the specialist online UK police agency.
"We've seen a huge rise in child abuse imagery captured by webcams this year. On commercial sites, where an offender could be making a profit from the material, the ages of the children appear to be getting younger. This certainly makes you more aware of online safety and that's a message I'm happy to share.
"Of course, I could go home at the end of the day and think that the world is a dreadful place. But for me, like most of our analysts, I just want to help the children in these terrible images. I have real empathy for them and that's why I love my job."
Paul, an IWF Internet Content Analyst:
"Most people would think we'd go home depressed every night. Yes, we do see some pretty horrific things during our working day. Child abuse is an incredibly cruel crime. The images we see are of real children and babies. We never forget that.
"But this work isn't depressing, in fact, it's the opposite. Very early on in my IWF career, I was involved in identifying and analysing a series of child sexual abuse images that led directly to the rescue of a child. Wow, I suddenly understood the power an analyst can have. I felt like I'd been able to reach into the screen and help that child.
"This year, I've had reports from the victims themselves. They can be desperate by the time they contact us. They may have been coaxed or groomed into doing something that they didn't want to do and then it's on the internet. Of course, we can only work within the legal framework, but I see personal reports as a real challenge and I'm always determined to do whatever I can to help these young people. The very fact that I can have an impact, that I can help, is amazing.
"As a parent, I've realised that I'm more conscious now of what my children are doing online, or, more importantly, who they are talking to. Today most children are tech savvy, but they may not be tech safe. On the web, offenders can disguise themselves as friends and build trust. The challenge is staying one step ahead of these people. And that's the reason I tell friends and family about the job I do so that I can help spread the online safety message.
"Each year the number of images we assess goes up. We are getting better at what we do and we've got the best new tech to hand, like our crawlers. They act like a 'trusty side-kick'. But I think there will always be a need for 'human' analysts because this work is so complex. Child sexual abuse imagery isn't always black and white. Our team will always need to be there to identify the shades of grey, that could and sometimes does, lead to the rescue of a child."
What we do:
We make the internet a safer place. We help victims of child sexual abuse worldwide by identifying and removing online images and videos of their abuse. We search for child sexual abuse images and videos and offer a place for the public to report them anonymously. We then have them removed. We're a not for profit organisation and are supported by the global internet industry and the European Commission.

The IWF is part of the UK Safer Internet Centre, working with Childnet International and the South West Grid for Learning to promote the safe and responsible use of technology.
The IWF works globally to stop child sexual abuse imagery on the internet. If you ever stumble across a sexual image or video of someone you think is under 18, please report to the IWF. Reporting can be done anonymously and confidentially – we don't need your details, just your help.

Rogers Insurance launches social media contest giving $5,000 to make one Albertan's dream come true
Jul 26, 2017, 10:00 ET
CALGARY, July 26, 2017 /CNW/ - Rogers Insurance is celebrating their 40th anniversary in a big way – by granting an individual dream in the community where they have lived and worked for the past four decades.
Aptly named #RogersDreamBig, the contest involves participants uploading a video or photo via the Rogers Insurance Facebook page detailing what they would do with $5,000. So far contestant dreams range from taking family vacations, investing in businesses, or participating in philanthropic projects. One entrant wants to build a computer lab for a school in Mexico, while another local non-profit aspires to send children to summer camp. There is a couple who hopes to adopt a child, and a family who lost everything in the Fort McMurray fires.
"We want to celebrate our anniversary by giving back to our community and supporting one of these heartwarming aspirations," says President Lee Rogers. Part of an award winning company culture, Rogers employees participate in a similar program annually where four winners are announced at their annual Christmas Party. Rogers adds that "We are proudly Alberta based, with offices in Calgary, Red Deer, Sylvan Lake, and Fort McMurray – and we want all Albertans to get the chance to Dream Big in 2017."
The contest will run until August 1, 2017. To find out more information on #RogersDreamBig, visit www.rogersinsurance.ca/rogersdreambig. Contest participants are considered on their video or photo subject matter and vote numbers, must be 18 or older and an Alberta resident. The winner will be announced August 3, 2017.
For the past four decades, Rogers has provided insurance services in commercial lines, small business, personal lines, life & benefits, group home & auto, and private client insurance. Rogers is a member of the Canadian Broker Network (CBN) and Intersure, giving it affiliated offices across Canada, the US, and Mexico.

It has been suggested, that the change could be explained by an increased tendency to seek emergency treatment for non-urgent symptoms. However, this explanation is now disputed in a new doctoral thesis from Karolinska Institutet.
In her thesis, Dr Ann-Sofie Backman has compared data from patients who visited the emergency department at the South General Hospital (Södersjukhuset) in Stockholm, with patients who used non-scheduled primary care services. Factors such as symptoms, perceived inconvenience and background information on education and social status were identified through interviews. After the medical examination, the treating physician was also asked to assess how long the patient would have been able to wait for medical assistance.
The thesis shows that the majority of patients had chosen the right level of health care. A majority of those who visited the emergency department had also used of some form of decision support, such as health care telephone hotline service.
"Emergency patients are mostly elderly people with multiple diseases", says Dr Backman. "The increase in the number of emergency department visits could probably be explained by an aging population, at least partly. However, this need further research."

The Eastern Metropolitan Regional Council (EMRC) is a progressive and innovative regional local government working on behalf of six member councils located in Perth's Eastern Region
Published: Friday, 16 March 2018 at 8:00:00 AM
The EMRC has taken a large step forward into the future of waste management with the signing this week of the Waste Supply Agreement with Hitachi Zosen Inova (HZI) for the East Rockingham Resource Recovery Facility.
This follows the signing of the Participants Agreement with the Cities of Belmont, Kalamunda, Swan and the Shire of Mundaring for the project last week.
These agreements will see 95,000 tonnes of residual waste diverted each year from the Red Hill Waste Management Facility landfill site from as early as 2021.
Residual waste is what remains after all strategies of reducing, re-using and recycling have taken place.
The East Rockingham Resource Recovery Facility is Australia's first utility scale municipal solid waste to energy facility that will use state of the art technology recognised as 'world's best practice' for producing saleable energy from waste that would otherwise go to landfill.
The EMRC Chairman Councillor David McDonnell said that reducing, re-using and recycling had always been, and will continue to be, the key strategy of waste management at the EMRC.
"There will always be some level of residual waste remaining so putting it to use as a renewable energy source, as an alternative to fossil fuel, makes economic as well as environmental sense," he said.
Under the terms of the agreements, the participating Councils will supply their waste to the facility on a 'waste arising basis' which means they will only pay for the capacity they use. This means there is no penalty for Councils who successfully implement landfill waste reduction schemes such as a third bin for compostable organic waste.
The East Rockingham Facility will have the capacity to convert 330 000 tonnes of waste per year into clean renewable energy, producing 28 megawatts(MW) of baseload energy which is enough to power 36,000 homes.

James Spann has the forecast for a stormy night in Alabama from Alabama NewsCenter on Vimeo.
SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE TONIGHT: Another dynamic storm system will impact Alabama over the next 24 hours, but the day today should be fairly quiet. The sky will be mostly cloudy, and temperatures will rise to near 80 degrees this afternoon. As the pressure gradient tightens, south winds will ramp up this afternoon, averaging 15-25 mph with higher gusts. Any showers today should be very widely spaced.
A band of strong to severe thunderstorms will enter the western counties of the state early tonight; the Storm Prediction Center has defined an enhanced risk (level 3 out of 5) of severe storms for areas south of a line from Reform to Prattville to Eufaula; the rest of the state (roughly the northern half) is in a slight risk (level 2 of 5).
TIMING: While there is an outside risk a strong storm could move into far west Alabama as early as 4, the main risk comes after 6, with the storms advancing eastward tonight. They exit the state Friday morning before sunrise.
THREATS: Storms tonight will be capable of producing damaging straight-line winds and a few tornadoes. The highest tornado threat is in the enhanced risk over south Alabama, but a brief, isolated tornado is possible over the northern counties of the state as well.
RAIN: Rain amounts will be around 1 inch, and flooding is not expected.
This type event is fairly common in Alabama in April; this is the core of our spring tornado season. Just be sure you have a way of hearing warnings tonight (NEVER a siren), and also I would suggest that you pay attention to severe thunderstorm warnings. In your safe place, have helmets for everyone. And if you live in a mobile or manufactured home, know the closest shelter or business that is open (gas station, truck stop, etc.) and be ready to get there in a hurry if tornado warnings are issued.
FRIDAY: A deep, cold-core upper low will pass right over Alabama. The severe weather threat shifts to areas east of here, but the day will be cloudy and much colder with temperatures holding in the 50s all day. We will have some light rain at times, and even light rain showers could produce some small hail because of the very cold air aloft associated with the upper low.
EASTER WEEKEND: Any lingering clouds over northeast Alabama Saturday morning will lift out pretty quickly; otherwise we expect sunshine in full force both days as dry air takes over. Colder pockets could see a low in the upper 30s early Saturday morning; most places will be in the low 40s. The high will be in the mid 60s Saturday, followed by upper 70s Sunday. For Easter sunrise services, temperatures will be in the 40s early Sunday morning.
NEXT WEEK: The weather will be dry with warm afternoons Monday through Wednesday. Showers and storms return Thursday; it's a little too early to know if this system will pose a severe weather threat. Showers could linger Friday, but the following weekend (April 27-28) will be dry.
ON THIS DATE IN 1906: At 5:12 a.m., a magnitude 7.8 earthquake hit San Francisco. A devastating fire soon broke out in the city and lasted for several days. About 3,000 people died, and more than 80 percent of San Francisco was destroyed.

Antonia Apps of Milbank talks regulatory scrutiny, the icebergs that hedge fund managers should be aware of in the near future, and the state of fraud in the industry.
Valuations and fees are the key focus for regulatory scrutiny today, she argues: "It's all about disclosure". Is the industry getting better at weeding out fraud? Regulators are getting better at spotting the next Bernie Madoff, she comments, but not everyone has their own house in order yet. Watch for her view on the next big regulatory challenge.

3 Ways To Save Money On Your Motion Graphics Project
Unless you're buying a templated, cookie-cutter whiteboard animation, the cost of animation and motion graphics can vary pretty dramatically from project to project. Bids are drafted based on specific situations and project details, which unfortunately make it a little difficult to pin down an exact pricing structure. We want to help take some of the uncertainty away by offering a few pointers on how to lower the cost of your project or help keep you inside your smaller budget. Here are a few things we recommend:
- Choose A Simple Visual Style
- When it comes to picking a look for your animated video, the choice can be a bit overwhelming. First, consider your brand's own visual identity. Second, take into account your audience demographics – what style will appeal to them? Third, evaluate the size of your budget. Let's be honest, in the real world, it's the budget that often wields the greatest influence. Here's a quick run through of a few techniques and styles that we'd consider to be high-end vs simple.
- High-End
- Photorealistic 3D animation
- Character animation
- Complex illustrations
- High-End
- Simple
- Kinetic type
- Flat, friendly design
- Interface and web page walk-throughs
- Simple
- Maximize Your Visual Assets
- Visual assets, in the motion graphics sense, refers to the fonts, web pages, photography, icons, illustrations, characters and anything else that will be animated in your video. Before storyboarding, make a list of all available graphics and what (if anything) still needs to be made. Begin to think creatively about how elements you've already created can be maximized. A pattern on the brand poster may work well as a subtle background texture, icons could be used multiple times, and pieces of a web interface might be separated out and used. Some of the most effective motion graphics videos are made using only the graphics on hand.
- Invest in Experienced Motion Designers
- This might feel like you're making a bigger spend initially, but we guarantee it's worth the peace of mind and flexibility when deadlines get close. Experienced motion graphics artists will make your money work smarter, not harder. Their jobs revolve around rising to the creative challenges for you and in the end bringing your vision to life. Hiring a team of motion designers can be incredibly beneficial, as they can offer a variety of approaches and creative solutions, in the end, allowing for the best possible product and if needed, the flexibility to pivot along the way.
Of course there are even more things that factor into the overall price of a project (length, audio costs, licenses, VO talent, etc…) But, we hope that with these tips and a little bit of creative brainstorming you can stay within your budget and end up with a fantastic motion graphics video.

Hypospadias is recognized as one the most common congenital malformations in male newborns, resulting in an abnormal opening of urethral meatus. It is regarded as a multifactorial disorder in which interactions between genetics, maternal and environmental factors lead to hypoplastic development of the ventral side of the penis, either dependently or in an interaction with other factors. This book discusses the risk factors of hypospadias. It also examines the epidemiology and surgical outcomes of hypospadias.

think is right. He can shift those as he likes. In my "A" mode (my
favourite) the photographer selects the aperture and I'll compute the
speed for him and set that. I also come with an "S" mode, which is real
handy for sports, danse and other situations where the photogrpaher
would like to create some blur or just guarantee a "freeze-frame". Not
only that, I am a perfectly secure little beginner SLR, and the
photographer can set me to "M" mode and do it all himself.
All of my settings are in 1/3 stops, and of course I read DX coded film,
but allow the photographer to override it. My exposure compensation
comes in 1/3 stops too.
And guess what, while I don't have a true "Mirror Lockup" switch, when
you use the timer function (set to 2 or 10 seconds), the mirror swings
up right away, and the shutter releases later, so all the vibration is gone.
Depth-fo-field preview? of course.
My meter works in spot and centre-weighted.
I use two type 123 batteries.
So please suggest the right beginner for me!

McConnell's research team has discovered that at the time of the JFK assassination on November 22, 1963, Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor, and her ex-royal husband were expert users of Playfair Cipher key systems, allegedly deployed by MI-3 Livery founder William 'Intrepid' Stephenson to authorize a peg-boy-in-the-middle attack on Pearl Harbour in 1941.

SHOCKING: Video unreleased JFK assassination
Marine Third Coast (N.O.) peg boy sniper
"John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, was assassinated at 12:30 p.m. Central Standard Time (18:30 UTC) on Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas.[1][2]
Although the Commission's conclusions were initially supported by a majority of the American public,[3] polls conducted between 1966 and 2003 found that as many as 80 percent of Americans have suspected that there was a plot or cover-up.[4][5] A 1998 CBS News poll showed that 76% of Americans believed the President had been killed as the result of a conspiracy.[6] A 2013 AP poll showed, that although the percentage had fallen, more than 59% of those polled still believed that more than one person was involved in the President's murder.[7][8]
In contrast to the conclusions of the Warren Commission, the United States House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) concluded in 1978 that Kennedy was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy.[9] The HSCA found the original FBI investigation and the Warren Commission Report to be seriously flawed. While agreeing with the Commission that Oswald fired all the shots which caused the wounds to Kennedy and Connally, the HSCA stated that there were at least four shots fired (only three of which could be linked to Oswald) and that there was "...a high probability that two gunmen fired at [the] President."[10][11]
The HSCA did not identify any other person or group involved in the assassination besides Oswald, but they did specifically say the CIA, the Soviet Union, organized crime, and several other groups were not involved, although they could not rule out the involvement of individual members of those groups. Kennedy's assassination is still the subject of widespread debate and has spawned numerous conspiracy theories and alternative scenarios."
"Wallis, Duchess of Windsor (previously Wallis Simpson and Wallis Spencer, born Bessie Wallis Warfield; 19 June 1896[1]– 24 April 1986) was an American socialite. Her third husband, Prince Edward, Duke of Windsor, formerly King Edward VIII of the United Kingdom and the Dominions, abdicated his throne to marry her.
Wallis's father died shortly after her birth, and she and her widowed mother were partly supported by their wealthier relatives. Her first marriage, to U.S. naval officer Win Spencer, was punctuated with periods of separation and eventually ended in divorce. In 1934, during her second marriage to Ernest Simpson, she allegedly became the mistress of Edward, Prince of Wales.[2] Two years later, after Edward's accession as king, Wallis divorced her second husband in preparation to marry Edward.
The King's desire to marry a woman who had two living ex-husbands threatened to cause a constitutional crisis in the United Kingdom and the Dominions, and ultimately led to his abdication in December 1936 to marry "the woman I love".[3] After the abdication, the former king was created Duke of Windsor by his brother and successor, King George VI. Edward married Wallis six months later, after which she was formally known as the Duchess of Windsor, without the style "Her Royal Highness". She was instead styled as "Her Grace", a style normally reserved only for non-royal dukes and duchesses.
Before, during, and after World War II, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor were suspected by many in government and society of being Nazi sympathisers. In the 1950s and 1960s, she and the Duke shuttled between Europe and the United States, living a life of leisure as society celebrities [Motive, opportunity and peg-boy cipher weapon!]. After the Duke's death in 1972, the Duchess lived in seclusion, and was rarely seen in public. Her private life has been a source of much speculation, and she remains a controversial figure in British history.
In April 1916, Wallis met Earl Winfield Spencer, Jr., a U.S. Navy aviator, at Pensacola, Florida, while visiting her cousin Corinne Mustin.[19] It was at this time that Wallis witnessed two airplane crashes about two weeks apart, resulting in a lifelong fear of flying.[20] The couple married on 8 November 1916 at Christ Episcopal Church in Baltimore, which had been Wallis's parish. Win, as her husband was known, was an alcoholic. He drank even before flying and once crashed into the sea, but escaped almost unharmed.[21] After the United States entered World War I in 1917, Spencer was posted to San Diego as the first commanding officer of a training base in Coronado, known as Naval Air Station North Island; they remained there until 1921.[22] In 1920, Edward, the Prince of Wales, visited San Diego, but he and Wallis did not meet.[23] Later that year, Spencer left his wife for a period of four months, but in the spring of 1921 they were reunited in Washington, D.C., where Spencer had been posted. They soon separated again, and in 1922, when Spencer was posted to the Far East as commander of the Pampanga, Wallis remained behind, continuing an affair with an Argentine diplomat, Felipe de Espil.[18] In January 1924, she visited Paris with her recently widowed cousin Corinne Mustin,[24] before sailing to the Far East aboard a troop carrier, USS Chaumont (AP-5) [
Alleged user of the Playfair peg boy exit nodes to bypass U.S. Marine chain of command]. The Spencers were briefly reunited until she fell ill, after which she returned to Hong Kong.[25]
By the time her marriage to Spencer was dissolved, Wallis had already become involved with Ernest Aldrich Simpson, an Anglo-American shipping executive and former officer in the Coldstream Guards.[34] [Alleged founder with 'Intrepid' of the Master Mariners Livery Company of which Wallis's third husband was the first Master] He divorced his first wife, Dorothea (by whom he had a daughter, Audrey), to marry Wallis on 21 July 1928 at the Register Office in Chelsea, London.[35] Wallis had telegraphed her acceptance of his proposal from Cannes where she was staying with her friends, Mr and Mrs Rogers.[36]
The Simpsons temporarily set up home in a furnished house with four servants in Mayfair.[37] In 1929, Wallis sailed back to the United States to visit her sick mother, who had married legal clerk Charles Gordon Allen after the death of Rasin. During the trip, Wallis's investments were wiped out in the Wall Street Crash, and her mother died penniless on 2 November 1929. Wallis returned to England and with the shipping business still buoyant, the Simpsons moved into a large flat with a staff of servants.[38]
Through a friend, Consuelo Thaw, Wallis met Consuelo's sister Thelma, Lady Furness, the then-mistress of Edward, Prince of Wales.[39] On 10 January 1931, Lady Furness introduced Wallis to the Prince at Burrough Court, near Melton Mowbray.[40] The Prince was the eldest son of King George V and Queen Mary, and heir apparent to the throne. Between 1931 and 1934, he met the Simpsons at various house parties, and Wallis was presented at court. Ernest was beginning to encounter financial difficulties, as the Simpsons were living beyond their means, and they had to fire a succession of staff.[41]
In January 1934, while Lady Furness was away in New York, Wallis allegedly became the Prince's mistress. Edward denied this to his father, despite his staff seeing them in bed together as well as "evidence of a physical sexual act".[42] Wallis soon ousted Lady Furness, and the Prince distanced himself from a former lover and confidante, the Anglo-American textile heiress Freda Dudley Ward.[43]
By the end of 1934, Edward was irretrievably besotted with Wallis, finding her domineering manner and abrasive irreverence toward his position appealing; in the words of his official biographer, he became "slavishly dependent" on her [she had him pegged!].[18] According to Wallis, it was during a cruise on Lord Moyne's private yacht Rosaura in August 1934 that she fell in love with Edward.[44] At an evening party in Buckingham Palace, he introduced her to his mother—his father was outraged,[45] primarily on account of her marital history, as divorced people were generally excluded from court.[46] Edward showered Wallis with money and jewels,[47]and in February 1935, and again later in the year, he holidayed with her in Europe.[48] His courtiers became increasingly alarmed as the affair began to interfere with his official duties.[49]
In 1935, the head of the Metropolitan Police Special Branch told the Metropolitan Police Commissioner that Wallis was also having an affair with Guy Marcus Trundle, who was "said to be employed by the Ford Motor Company".[50] Claims of an affair were doubted, however, by Captain Val Bailey, who knew Trundle well and whose mother had an affair with Trundle for nearly two decades,[51] and by historian Susan Williams.[52]
Following the outbreak of war in 1939, the Duke was given a military post in the British Army stationed in France. According to the son of Lord Ironside, the Duchess continued to entertain friends associated with the fascist movement, and leaked details of the French and Belgian defences gleaned from the Duke.[88] When the Germans invaded the north of France and bombed Britain in May 1940, the Duchess told an American journalist, "I can't say I feel sorry for them."[89] As the German troops advanced, the Duke and Duchess fled south from their Paris home, first to Biarritz, then in June to Spain. There, she told the United States ambassador, Alexander W. Weddell, that France had lost because it was "internally diseased".[90] In July, the pair moved to Lisbon, Portugal, where they stayed at the home of Ricardo de Espirito Santo e Silva, a banker who was suspected of being a German agent.[91] In August, the Duke and Duchess travelled by commercial liner to the Bahamas, where the Duke was installed as Governor.[92]
Wallis performed her role as the Bahamas' first lady competently for five years; she worked actively for the Red Cross and in the improvement of infant welfare.[93] However, she hated Nassau, calling it "our St Helena", in a reference to Napoleon's final place of exile.[94] She was heavily criticised in the British press for her extravagant shopping in the United States, undertaken when Britain was enduring privations such as rationing and the blackout.[18][95] Her attitude towards the local population, whom she called "lazy, thriving niggers" in letters to her aunt, reflected her upbringing.[96][97] In 1941, Prime Minister Winston Churchill strenuously objected when she and her husband planned to tour the Caribbean aboard a yacht belonging to a Swedish magnate, Axel Wenner-Gren, whom Churchill stated to be "pro-German". Churchill felt compelled to complain again when the Duke gave a "defeatist" interview.[98] Another of their acquaintances, Charles Bedaux, who had hosted their marriage, was arrested on charges of treason in 1943, and committed suicide in jail in Miami before the case was brought to trial.[99] The British establishment
distrusted the Duchess; Sir Alexander Hardinge wrote that her suspected anti-British activities were motivated by a desire for revenge against a country that rejected her as its queen.[100] After the defeat of Nazi Germany, the couple returned to France and retirement.
On George VI's death in 1952, the Duke returned to England for the funeral. The Duchess did not attend; the previous October whilst staying in London she had told her husband, "I hate this country. I shall hate it to my grave."[103] Later that year, they were offered the use of a house by the Paris municipal authorities. The couple lived at 4 route du Champ d'Entraînement in Neuilly-sur-
Seine near Paris for most of the remainder of their lives, essentially living a life of easy retirement.[104] They bought a second house in the country, Moulin de la Tuilerie or "The Mill" in Gif-sur-Yvette, where they soon became close friends of their neighbors, Oswald and Diana Mosley.[105] Years later, Diana Mosley claimed that the Duke and Duchess shared her and her husband's views that Hitler should have been given a free hand to destroy Communism.[106] As the Duke himself wrote in the New York Daily News of 13 December 1966: "... it was in Britain's interest and in Europe's too, that Germany be encouraged to strike east and smash Communism forever ... I thought the rest of us could be fence-sitters while the Nazis and the Reds slogged it out."[107]
In 1965, the Duke and Duchess visited London as the Duke required eye surgery for a detached retina; Queen Elizabeth II andPrincess Marina, Duchess of Kent, visited them. The Duke's sister, the Princess Royal, also visited just 10 days before her death. They attended her memorial service in Westminster Abbey.[108] Later, in 1967, the Duke and Duchess joined the Royal Family in London for the unveiling of a plaque by Elizabeth II to commemorate the centenary of Queen Mary's birth.[109] Both Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles visited the Windsors in Paris in the Duke's later years, the Queen's visit coming only shortly before the Duke died.[110]"

SAN FRANCISCO / Neighborhoods win against housing plan in an appeals ruling
The housing blueprint that San Francisco adopted three years ago could lead to increased neighborhood density, more traffic and extra pollution, and is invalid because the city failed to study the environmental consequences, a state appeals court has ruled.
The decision Friday by the First District Court of Appeal in San Francisco was a victory for neighborhood organizations, mostly in the western part of the city, that formed San Franciscans for Livable Neighborhoods to challenge the housing element of the city's general plan. They argued that the proposal would concentrate development in their areas and cause overcrowding.
The city Planning Commission approved the document in May 2004, which was 14 years after it was previously updated. It outlines plans for accommodating growth projected by the Association of Bay Area Governments: a population increase in San Francisco of 32,500 by 2010, to 809,200, and a need for about 2,700 new housing units each year.
City officials said the plan contained only minor differences from the 1990 revision and did not require an environmental impact report, a conclusion that a Superior Court judge accepted in December 2005. The appeals court disagreed.
Some provisions of the 2004 document "reflect a shift away from preserving existing housing density and a movement toward allowing denser housing development and decreased off-street parking," the three-judge panel said.
That, in turn, could lead to increased traffic congestion, air pollution and noise and a change in the "aesthetic quality" of neighborhoods, the court said.
The judges ordered the city to prepare an environmental report that would analyze the changes, discuss alternatives and solicit public comment.
The city could go through that process for the 2004 plan or set that document aside and conduct an environmental report for an updated plan that is due in 2009, Deputy City Attorney Audrey Pearson said Monday. She said the city could also appeal the ruling to the state Supreme Court.
Kathy Devincenzi, the lawyer for the plaintiffs, said the process of pulling together an environmental impact report would bring "all the adverse consequences (of the housing plan) to light." Those consequences include denser neighborhoods, scarcer parking and a more difficult climate for local businesses, she said.

Join Ian Robinson for an in-depth discussion in this video Synchronizing colors across the Adobe Creative Suite, part of After Effects Guru: Animating Logos.
Since so many logos were created with print…in mind, it makes sense that we want to…actually pay attention to the different color spaces…of the different logos that we'll be working with.…Most of the time, you'll receive logos and see 'em like K-color space.…Now, converting from CMYK to RGB is a relatively simple process.…But before we even jump into that, you want to…make sure to synchronize all of the different applications across…your Adobe Creative Suite.…And to do that, we're going to start in Adobe Bridge.…
Once you have Bridge open on your system, you want to go up under the Edit menu.…Under Edit, down at the bottom, you…have an option for Creative Suite Color Settings.…Go ahead and choose those color settings, and there…are a couple different settings that I'd recommend you use.…The first one is Monitor Color.…Now, if you're working primarily in…a video workflow and you have a color-calibrated monitor,…this is the setting that I'd like you to use.…Now if you bounce back and forth between screen and print workflows,…

"From a management and IT perspective we were keen on the fact that VCare was New Zealand made, with New Zealand staff and was set up for the New Zealand way of doing things. Several of the other systems were from Australia or the UK, so they, therefore, had to adapt to the NZ perspective."
"VCare adds a great deal of value across departments, and I'm not just talking village and care it also includes sales, so there's an instant availability of information at my fingertips. Sales manager, care centre manager, we've all got this great tool to use now."
"VCare ensures that you have accurate records, especially on the village side. It also allows one point of entry, whereas before we had a multitude of different systems."
"I would recommend VCare – very professional and it has incredible reporting functionality for us. I also like the global view as you don't feel so disjointed. Just the incident reporting alone is going to save me hours of work."

Our amenities include both a men's and woman's spa, Jim Jil Bang (a co-ed Spa experience), facials, massage, body scrubs, fitness center, indoor swimming pool and a driving range. Whether you're looking for a quick escape for a few hours or a day at the spa with your friends you'll find our services and facilities will accommodate your every need. What separates a Korean Spa from a traditional spa is it's a very social environment. In Korea, a spa is where members of the community go to bath and socialize. We brought that concept here to Los Angeles. It can be a social as you want it to be or a chill as you want it to be. It's up to you.

The basic massage therapy that is beneficial for all types of physical stress is Swedish massage. Depending on whether there is an injury or simply the need for release of stress, I adjust the intensity of the massage….deep pressure for atheletes, for instance, or lighter pressure for someone just looking for relief. I tell my clients that the main objective of the massage is to relax and allow the healing properties of the massage to occur. Reflexology, another technique in my repertoire, is pressure point therapy on the nerve endings of the feet that has direct corresponding effects on the different organs of the body. During massage, I am willing to address personal questions for which you may be seeking insight. The mind/body connection is never so vital as during the massage process and affords a unique opportunity to explore deeper questions. While my work has been covered in the media, my best publicity comes from word of mouth and testimonials given by satisfied clients. "I've known Mano for over ten years and I've referred him to many friends because he's truly gifted. I laugh when things he's told me come to be, but he's not surprised anymore. He's a loving gentle soul." (Magdalena Spinelli, actress)
