DO YOU HAVE ANY MEMBERSHIP CRITERIA?
Yes. Sister Snog is for women who are working full time in a senior role for an established company or running a business that has been trading for a minimum of two years and is VAT registered. A decision maker who holds the purse strings or has buying power and can sign off on budgets. The business needs to have a clear proposition that Sister Snog could open doors for and a smart website that Sister Snog would be happy to drive traffic to. Sister Snog members are ambitious women with a clear vision. They are brand savvy and see the value of building relationships in business both online and offline. If you love the idea of belonging to a private business club for a handpicked audience then Sister Snog could be the refreshing change you are looking for.
DO YOU HAVE MEMBERS WHO ARE DISTRIBUTORS OR NETWORK MARKETORS?
Fraid not. Sister Snog does not accept applications from individuals who work as a distributor, network marketor or for a multi-level network marketing organisation.
WHAT’S THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KILLER & KITTEN HEEL MEMBERSHIP?
Killer Heel Membership includes membership of Sister Snog and ALL events. Killer Heels can not appoint a Body Double.
Kitten Heel Membership includes membership of Sister Snog. Events are booked and paid for on an individual basis. Kitten Heel members can appoint a Body Double. A Body Double is one nominated person who can step into a Sister’s shoes if they are unable to attend an event or are double booked. Body Doubles and Sisters are only able to attend Festive Friday (which is held on the first Friday of December every year) together.
WHAT’S THE PROCESS TO BECOME A KILLER OR KITTEN HEEL SISTER?
Step 1 : Complete the online application form.
Step 2 : Someone from Snog Towers will call you within 24 hours to establish if membership is appropriate for you and your business.
Step 3 : If it’s a yes, the next step is to book a place at A Taste of Sister Snog in Central London with one of the Directors.
Step 4 : If, after our tête-à-tête, we agree membership of Sister Snog is a win-win business decision, you’ll be invited to join and emailed an invoice for the annual fee. [£1,450 + VAT for Kitten Heel Members. £1,950 + VAT for Killer Heel members.] The fee must be paid within seven days. After that time the invitation to join will expire.
Step 5 : Book your first event within 28 days of joining and meet a cross section of Sisters.
Step 6 : After you’ve been to your first event, if you have a change of heart you have 24 hours to let Sister Snog know, in writing by email. In that unlikely event a full refund is on the table (less the cost of the event if you’ve chosen Killer Heel membership). Otherwise your membership will be fully activated and you’ll be sent the password to www.socialsnog.com. At this point the refund offer will expire.
Step 7 : Welcome meeting with one of the Directors of Sister Snog and allocation to one of the seven Houses.
IF I BECOME A KITTEN HEEL SISTER CAN I UPGRADE TO KILLER HEEL AT ANY TIME?
Yes. The fee will be worked out on a pro rata basis. For example if you join as a Kitten Heel Sister from 1st January and wish to upgrade to a Killer Heel from 1st July 50% of your Kitten Heel membership will be offset against the annual Killer Heel membership fee.
WHY DO YOU HAVE A SEVEN DAY WINDOW TO ACCEPT THE INVITATION TO JOIN?
Because Sister Snog is looking for decision makers who make decisions. In our experience working with decision making business women make life peachy for everyone.
CAN I SPREAD MY ANNUAL PAYMENT OVER 12 MONTHS?
No. Payment needs to be made in full and paid within seven days of the receipt of the invoice.
Events can be booked via the events calendar.
There are two price points for events. Early Bird (EB) & White Rabbit (WR). Early Bird is available up to two weeks before the event. White Rabbit until one week before the event when it closes. Prices are exclusive of VAT and Eventbrite fees.
WHAT IF I BOOK AN EVENT AND CAN’T MAKE IT?
Provided that you give Sister Snog at least four days’ notice in writing the event can be carried forward. Alternatively your Body Double or another Sister can attend in your place. Only Kitten Heel Sisters can appoint a Body Double. This is one nominated person who can step into your shoes if you’re unable to attend an event or are double booked. Body Doubles are invited to join you at #festivefriday – which is held on the first Friday in December. This is the only event where you can both attend together.
DO YOU OPERATE A REFERRAL PROGRAMME?
Yes. Sister Snog always likes to say thank you. Two little words that speak volumes. There are currently two referral rewards on offer. A £75.00 voucher to spend at Brigade – the tantalisingly tasty social enterprise restaurant where Sister Snog currently holds First Friday lunches. Or a donation of £75.00 to Smart Works – Sister Snog’s chosen charity.
Yes. Sister Snog supports Smart Works (formerly Dress for Success London). The charity’s ethos of empowering women on low incomes with the skills and confidence to get a job and become financially independent fits perfectly with the Sister Snog brand. They are supported with fundraising activities and donations via the referral programme.

Can I set up KAV pro to do a scan then shut down the PC when it's finished (if it doesn't find anything suspicious)??
Yes, just right click on your KAV icon in your systray and select "Scan My Computer for Viruses" when the box opens to scan you will see an option in the bottom left corner to shut down computer when done.
I dunno if this applies to KAVPP, but in KAVP the option to turn off computer when scan is complete isn't completely visible until one clicks on the double downward arrows in the bottom right corner.

Nicholas Barbary and Mark Maynard admitted stashing guns under a bus returning from Belgium.
Two men who smuggled a Nazi-made pistol and loaded Skorpion sub-machine guns with ammunition by hiding them on a tourist coach have been jailed for 28 years.
Nicholas Barbary and Mark Maynard admitted concealing the weapons on a bus returning from Belgium on Tuesday (17 January) this year.
The pair had stashed a self-loading Walther P38 Luger pistol, and two reactivated Czechoslovakian Skorpion sub-machine-guns underneath a tourist bus using magnets in order to get them into the country.
They removed the arsenal in a coach park in Coventry, unbeknownst to the passengers and driver of the coach, and hid them nearby.
The pair then hired a van to pick up the deadly arsenal, which was found by police wrapped in black plastic tape, and again attached to the underside of the hire van.
Sussex Police Serious Organised Crime Unit found almost 200 rounds of ammunition including two magazines for the pistol, one of which was loaded into the weapon and contained six rounds of 9mm ammunition.
One of the machine guns contained a loaded magazine with 16 rounds of .32 ammunition. The other Skorpion did not contain a magazine, but there was an unloaded spare magazine which would fit either of them.
There were also a further 150 rounds of .32 ammunition in three boxes, for the Skorpions and a sound suppressor which is capable of fitting those weapons.
Unemployed Barbary, 29, from Crawley, was jailed for 12 years at Lewes Crown Court, while self-employed Maynard, 30, of Haywards Heath, was jailed for 16 years and two months after pleading guilty to importing and possessing the guns with intent to endanger life.
The pair were arrested by officers from the Sussex Police when their hire van was stopped by armed officers on the off-slip road at junction 10 of the M23 southbound in Crawley at 8.40pm.
Detective Sergeant Paul Graham said: "Clearly these weapons posed a real threat to people in Sussex and elsewhere, whether engaged in crime or law-abiding.
"But we were able, working with law enforcement partners in the UK and abroad, to prevent them reaching the streets and causing injury or death."
Both Barbary and Maynard will have to serve the first two-thirds of their sentences before being eligible to apply for parole. They will also serve a further four years extended prison release licence supervision after their eventual release.

I’m writing this from Moldova, where the girls and boys of Stella’s Voice are busy with school, volleyball and other various activities. The weather is turning cooler, and we’re all hoping the snow will hold off a little longer! It’s just about 5 o’clock in the evening, and we’ll all be gathering for dinner soon, but before we do, I thought I’d take a minute to update you on all the happenings this month.
We had a major celebration: two brothers (twins, actually) who lived in Simon’s House both were married—on the same day, in a double wedding! Eugen and Ilie are such a blessing, and I know they will enjoy lives rich with happiness. This is exactly what we are working for at Stella’s Voice, with your help. The chance at a real, happy future—filled with love and hope.
Several of our girls had birthdays, and we celebrated with food and fun. These milestones fill their lives with so much joy.
Two of our girls, Oxana and Mihaela, just finished five weeks of internships at various factories. Oxana really enjoyed learning to make juices and jams.
And, another one of our girls, Doina, is attending police academy. She’s been busy learning the oath and many patriotic poems. She’s loving it, and we just bought her uniform not long ago. Several of her classmates were at the store at the same time, and it was obvious she is very well respected among her peers.
Well, the dinner bell is about to sound, so I will sign off with my thanks. Please keep us in your prayers, as you are in ours.
Once again, thank you, and God bless.

New Delhi, April 26 (IANS) Actress-filmmaker Soni Razdan, who has been in the industry for over three decades, feels that Indian films are moving ahead with new ideas but this can't be said about the country's TV shows.
The wife of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and mother of actress Alia Bhatt is returning to the small screen after a long time with the TV show "Love Ka Hai Intezaar", which will also feature Sanjeeda Sheikh and Keith Sequeira.
She says the reason why she kept herself away from TV and did films and web series was she didn't find the right content.
Asked whether there is any change in the ideologies of TV shows, Soni told IANS in an email interview: "Oh yes. Well isn't that obvious? We have regressed so much. What happened to aspirational TV shows or our intelligent shows? So few out there now.
"Today, films are moving ahead with new ideas. TV shows have gotten stuck in a bit of a rut. Earlier it was the opposite. Today in the West, the best writing is happening on TV."
Soni, best known for her roles in shows like "Buniyaad", "Saahil", "Junoon" and "Aur Phir Ek Din", was last seen in "Aisa Des Hai Mera" in 2006.
"Daily soaps are just not my scene. And it's really hard for me to do things that I don't believe in. The fare on TV was a world that I'm not familiar with.
"It's totally alien to me and I couldn't really imagine myself doing a role that has no depth. So I stayed away till this (‘Love Ka Hai Intezaar') came along as it looked interesting."
Talking about her role in the upcoming Star Plus show, Soni said: "I play Rajmata in a very contemporary set up. The good part about her is that she is progressive yet holds a firm ground when it comes to traditional family values. It is a very positive and inspiring character we will get to see on television."
"At this point in life I'm just going with the flow. Sometimes it's just refreshing to do things that you normally don't do. To challenge yourself. To change the air around you. So, that's what I'm doing right now."
Soni admits there have been new content on Indian television, still she feels "we need more of it".
"We need to take more risks and think more out of the box. Once an audience has choices, they will also watch more TV. I think the TRP game has messed up our TV shows more than anything else," she said.
She is also waiting to begin her next directorial venture "Love Affair". She will star in director Danish Renzu's "Pashmina" alongside Suraj Sharma and Aditi Rao Hydari as well.

Being a flight attendant for many people is more than just a job. It's a dream they have harbored for a long time. And while it may bring some challenges, it certainly is a glamorous and exciting job, as it offers life experiences that you will never forget. After all, who wouldn’t want to get paid to travel? So how to become a flight attendant?
Flight attendants reassure passengers by assisting with in-flight safety procedures and making sure safety protocols are followed during flight. This includes checking that all seat belts are fastened, seats are upright and luggage is properly stored. In the event of an emergency, they might lead or monitor the evacuation and be called upon to perform first aid.
First of all, make sure you are available for this job. Read the list of requirements to be a flight attendant.
Although flight attendants must have at least a high school diploma or the equivalent, some airlines prefer to hire applicants who have a college degree. Prospective flight attendants typically need to have previous experience in customer services. Many employers prefer applicants with a degree in hospitality and tourism, public relations, business, social science, or communications. Those who work on international flights may have to be fluent in a foreign language. Some airlines as well may require to be graduated in special flight attendant academies.
Flight attendants typically have 1 or 2 years of work experience in a service occupation before getting their first job as a flight attendant. This experience may include customer service positions in restaurants, hotels, or resorts. Experience in sales or in other positions that require close contact with the public and focus on service to the customers may also help develop the skills needed to be a successful flight attendant.
If you meet all of these requirements, then it’s time to find a job. Go to the websites of airlines that appeal to you and find their “careers” page. Also, visit aviation job boards and check out open vacancies for Cabin Crew. Make a list of all the jobs that appeal to you, and figure out whether you meet their requirements before proceeding. Most airlines will require that you submit an application with your basic information, a resume, and sometimes a cover letter. It might take several weeks before you receive a telephone call or an email from the airlines to whom you have submitted an application.
If you’re hired for a position, you’ll have to undergo a medical exam before the airline makes it official. Find out what the exam will entail and make sure you’ll be able to pass it. Once a flight attendant is hired, airlines provide their initial training, ranging from 3 to 6 weeks. The training usually takes place at the airline’s flight training center and is required for FAA certification.
New flight attendant hires go through a few months of training before they become junior flight attendants. While they gain experience, junior flight attendants are under close scrutiny, and they receive a lower pay and fewer benefits than seniors. After about a year of doing a satisfactory job, junior flight attendants get promoted to senior status, which gives them greater career opportunities.
All in all, like any other job, being a flight attendant has it pros and cons. Some people do not fit the specifics of the working environment, but some are born for this kind of job. Eventually, if you have this exciting feeling inside every time you see an airplane, and you wish to try yourself in aviation – becoming a flight attendant may be your opportunity to do so!

Intermittent explosive disorder (IED) is a disorder characterized by impulsive acts of aggression, as contrasted with planned violent or aggressive acts. The aggressive episodes may take the form of "spells" or "attacks," with symptoms beginning minutes to hours before the actual acting-out. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders , fourth edition, text revision (also known as DSM-IV-TR ) is the basic reference work consulted by mental health professionals in determining the diagnosis of a mental disorder. DSM-IV-TR classifies IED under the general heading of "Impulse-Control Disorders Not Elsewhere Classified." Other names for IED include rage attacks, anger attacks, and episodic dyscontrol.
Intermittent explosive disorder was originally described by the eminent French psychiatrist Esquirol as a "partial insanity" related to senseless impulsive acts. Esquirol termed this disorder monomanies instinctives , or instinctual monomanias . These apparently unmotivated acts were thought to result from instinctual or involuntary impulses, or from impulses related to ideological obsessions.
People with intermittent explosive disorder have a problem with controlling their temper. In addition, their violent behavior is out of proportion to the incident or event that triggered the outburst. Impulsive acts of aggression, however, are not unique to intermittent explosive disorder. Impulsive aggression can be present in many psychological and nonpsychological disorders. The diagnosis of intermittent explosive disorder (IED) is essentially a diagnosis of exclusion, which means that it is given only after other disorders have been ruled out as causes of impulsive aggression.
Patients diagnosed with IED usually feel a sense of arousal or tension before an outburst, and relief of tension after the aggressive act. Patients with IED believe that their aggressive behaviors are justified; however, they feel genuinely upset, regretful, remorseful, bewildered or embarrassed by their impulsive and aggressive behavior.
Recent findings suggest that IED may result from abnormalities in the areas of the brain that regulate behavioral arousal and inhibition. Research indicates that impulsive aggression is related to abnormal brain mechanisms in a system that inhibits motor (muscular movement) activity, called the serotoninergic system. This system is directed by a neurotransmitter called serotonin, which regulates behavioral inhibition (control of behavior). Some studies have correlated IED with abnormalities on both sides of the front portion of the brain. These localized areas in the front of the brain appear to be involved in information processing and controlling movement, both of which are unbalanced in persons diagnosed with IED. Studies using positron emission tomography (PET) scanning have found lower levels of brain glucose (sugar) metabolism in patients who act in impulsively aggressive ways.
Another study based on data from electroencephalograms (EEGs) of 326 children and adolescents treated in a psychiatric clinic found that 46% of the youths who manifested explosive behavior had unusual high-amplitude brain wave forms. The researchers concluded that a significant subgroup of people with IED may be predisposed to explosive behavior by an inborn characteristic of their central nervous system. In sum, there is a substantial amount of convincing evidence that IED has biological causes, at least in some people diagnosed with the disorder.
Other clinicians attribute IED to cognitive distortions. According to cognitive therapists, persons with IED have a set of strongly negative beliefs about other people, often resulting from harsh punishments inflicted by the parents. The child grows up believing that others "have it in for him" and that violence is the best way to restore damaged self-esteem. He or she may also have observed one or both parents, older siblings, or other relatives acting out in explosively violent ways. In short, people who develop IED have learned, usually in their family of origin, to believe that certain acts or attitudes on the part of other people "justify" aggressive attacks on them.
Although gender roles are not a "cause" of IED to the same extent as biological and familial factors, they are regarded by some researchers as helping to explain why most people diagnosed with IED are males. According to this theory, men have greater permission from society to act violently and impulsively than women do. They therefore have less reason to control their aggressive impulses. Women who act explosively, on the other hand, would be considered unfeminine as well as unfriendly or dangerous.
IED is characterized by violent behaviors that are impulsive as well as assaultive. One example involved a man who felt insulted by another customer in a neighborhood bar during a conversation that had lasted for several minutes. Instead of finding out whether the other customer intended his remark to be insulting, or answering the "insult" verbally, the man impulsively punched the other customer in the mouth. Within a few minutes, however, he felt ashamed of his violent act. As this example indicates, the urge to commit the impulsive aggressive act may occur from minutes to hours before the "acting out" and is characterized by the buildup of tension. After the outburst, the IED patient experiences a sense of relief from the tension. While many patients with IED blame someone else for causing their violent outbursts, they also express remorse and guilt for their actions.
IED is apparently a rare disorder. Most studies, however, indicate that it occurs more frequently in males. The most common age of onset is the period from late childhood through the early 20s. The onset of the disorder is frequently abrupt, with no warning period. Patients with IED are often diagnosed with at least one other disorder—particularly personality disorders , substance abuse (especially alcohol abuse) disorders, and neurological disorders.
As mentioned, IED is essentially a diagnosis of exclusion. Patients who are eventually diagnosed with IED may come to the attention of a psychiatrist or other mental health professional by several different routes. Some patients with IED, often adult males who have assaulted their wives and are trying to save their marriages, are aware that their outbursts are not normal and seek treatment to control them. Younger males with IED are more likely to be referred for diagnosis and treatment by school authorities or the juvenile justice system, or brought to the doctor by concerned parents.
A psychiatrist who is evaluating a patient for IED would first take a complete medical and psychiatric history. Depending on the contents of the patient's history, the doctor would give the patient a physical examination to rule out head trauma, epilepsy, and other general medical conditions that may cause violent behavior. If the patient appears to be intoxicated by a drug of abuse or suffering symptoms of withdrawal, the doctor may order a toxicology screen of the patient's blood or urine. Specific substances that are known to be associated with violent outbursts include phencyclidine (PCP or "angel dust"), alcohol, and cocaine. The doctor will also give the patient a mental status examination and a test to screen for neurological damage. If necessary, a neurologist may be consulted and imaging studies performed of the patient's brain.
If the physical findings and laboratory test results are normal, the doctor may evaluate the patient for personality disorders, usually by administering diagnostic questionnaires. The patient may be given a diagnosis of antisocial or borderline personality disorder in addition to a diagnosis of IED.
In some cases the doctor may need to rule out malingering , particularly if the patient has been referred for evaluation by a court order and is trying to evade legal responsibility for his behavior.
Some adult patients with IED appear to benefit from cognitive therapy. A team of researchers at the University of Pennsylvania found that cognitive approaches that challenged the patients' negative views of the world and of other people was effective in reducing the intensity as well as the frequency of violent episodes. With regard to gender roles, many of the men reported that they were helped by rethinking "manliness" in terms of self-control rather than as something to be "proved" by hitting someone else or damaging property.
Several medications have been used for treating IED. These include carbamazepine (Tegretol), an antiseizure medication; propranolol (Inderal), a heart medication that controls blood pressure and irregular heart rhythms; and lithium, a drug used to treat bipolar type II manic-depression disorder. The success of treatment with lithium and other mood-stabilizing medications is consistent with findings that patients with IED have a high lifetime rate of bipolar disorder .
Little research has been done on patients who meet DSM-IV-TR criteria for IED, although one study did find that such patients have a high lifetime rate of comorbid (co-occurring) bipolar disorder. In some people, IED decreases in severity or resolves completely as the person grows older. In others, the disorder appears to be chronic.
As of 2002, preventive strategies include educating young people in parenting skills, and teaching children skills related to self-control. Recent studies summarized by an article in a professional journal of psychiatry indicate that self-control can be practiced like many other skills, and that people can improve their present level of self-control with appropriate coaching and practice.

ASHLEY GET OUT OF THERE!
Ashley, if your husband hits you, despite the fact that you have children together - GET OUT! Take the kids and get the heck out of there. My husband has this and has finally seeked help after busting down a door and me kicking him out. He finally saw the light. He has never, ever, laid a hand on me. Don't teach your children that it's okay to be with a man like that, or to be a man like that. If he hits you, he quite obviously needs help. Go to a shelter, seek help from family, friends, church. But do not under any circumstances...DO NOT let him hit you ever again. Feeling bad afterwards is the classic signs of an abuser. You are letting him think its okay to treat you that way by staying. I can't stress it enough - GET OUT!
hes been diagnosed and i was wondering if anyone had found anyways of helping to calm them down and comfort them when the depression hits. I know for a fact that he doesnt like the way he acts and knows its not right he despretly wants to get rid of it and im just wondering if anyone has found anything i could do to help comfort him.
i was just told that my 7 year old has IED. i have been reading so much about this disorder and after 2 years and many doctors i feel relieved to know what is wrong with my child. i always thought and still think that maybe it was something i did or didnt do enough of. after debating for a months and getting him counseling services and the whole 9 yards i finally decided to put him on medicine. as hard as it was to make that desicion i'm glad that i did because i see a HUGE difference with him and it makes me so happy to see my son smile.
I think my husband has this problem. The tiniest thing will set him off, and usually its something totally out of our control. He gets soooo angry and he turns red and yells and shakes and hits things or pounds on them. He always regrets behaving that way, and he tries to control it and let it go but it builds up and he gets a lot of pressure in his head and eventually it happens all over again. It happens too often, at least once a month and sometimes more. I am at a loss, I have no idea what to do or how to help him. I do know it is tearing us apart. I try to have patience but I am slowly losing it..
I think i might have a slight case of IED cuz when someone says something that triggers me or even phsically touches me i blow up, can someone please tell me if the is a sign of I.E.D please, thank you!
My son has IED. He had a bad outburst a few days ago end is now in a hospital getting help he is only 9. He also is autistic and has been on meds.Dr just informed us that the prozac he has been on for 3yrs now was the cause of his outburst.The increase they had done just recently caused him to have a manic episode so they took him off of it.But their is a medication out there its called resperidone it helps my son controll himself most of the time.Dont give up or in go see a doctor they can help.
My 22 year old deaf daughter has been displaying these symptoms since her early teen. She was subsequently put on Nuzac and has now decided that she no longer needs the medication. Whilst the meds do not eliminate the outbursts completely it does give her a sense of reasoning and conscious which she does not normally have and the frequency and intensity of the outbursts are less. However, since being off the medication her outbursts have become more frequent and more violent with no sense of remorse or regret. In addition she is constantly threatening to kill herself. I am at my wits end and have actually put her out of the house as I cannot deal with it any longer! Can someone please help?
My Husband hoas how urbusts directed Torwads mor me any night to the chldren Usually they invold eyelling and name calling. as well s frusration. My lttest concern it is now be directed towrads my 12 year old.
There is little trust on my part no matter the false promise that he won'y reise him voice and emptry promies of calling me names.
For him things go long well then something minor will set hi off. He has mmade prmise that have lasted weeky However, like an alcohiml it will return again. I am concinced after all these years that these are empty romsies.
anything can trigger him to become very up set. I am taking LEXAPRO and I have found that it works for me I have been taking it for about 2 to 3 months now and I am so happy me and my boyfriend have not faught since I started taking LEXAPRO. There is all diffiernt meds. for IED I chose LEXAPRO cause it startes working in 3 days.
My husband was diagnosed with this disorder after a huge outburst in an airport, then subsequently ending up in jail, a hospital, and finally a mental hospital for the criminally insane. At first, I believed everything he was saying (after he has already been abusive both physically and verbally to me.) We know have a daughter almost 2, but I can not tolerate it anymore. We will be leaving him with no plan on returning unless he gets the help he needs. A major problem is that he still feels that all his problems are the cause of others. This disorder can reck a marriage, a family, and ultimately, the world of the person who has it.
GIRLS, do you have such a low self-esteem that makes you stay in these relationships? I left my husband because I did not want my kids to think it was okay for the behavior which was being acted out by husband. Since then, my son has acquired this behavior and has resulted in a couple of minor arrests not putting up with it. I get a lot of name calling from my son and it is not okay but I do not know what to do. He has a probation hearing coming up which I will voice my concern still on his verbal abuse towards me and how he does not refrain from doing it. He has tried counseling but not three to five times a day as might others do. I am suffering inside all the time due to his behavior and it is so hurtful. I cry all the time inside and keep it inside which is not good for me, either but I can't afford a counselor for myself.
I believe my step-father might have this disorder. Ever since I can remember any little thing that is out of his hands or if something does not go his way, he will get mentally and verbaly abusive. My husband, my father-n-law and I have had to put restraining orders on him for his threats and violent outbursts. I am afraid that if my kids go around him they may think it is o-kay to act like this. My mother puts up with it for some odd reason but I believe that he needs to be checked out but a speclist. Even though we have cut ties in being with each other, I honestly believe with each day his condition grows worse. If anyone has any more information on this disease, could someone let me know.
My husband was recently diagonosied with this disorder. It has been a tough thing to deal with cause he is no longer the man I married. The littlest things will set him off such as buring a pan of biscuts and once he is set off sometimes it takes hours for him to calm down and return to a fuctioning state. Its really difficult to deal with too cause as of right now their doesnt seem to a medicine that can cure this disorder or at least help with the symptoms of it.
He's a great father but their are times I do worry about leaving our kids with him cause this is something that he cant control and something that happens so quickly. Dont get me wrong never do I believe that in any state would harm our children, but as I am sure anyone with kids would, I worry for them and him while i have to be away.
Someone please find something for this situation. I want the man I married back not this one I see everyday.
I am also crying while reading this. Today, my 9 year old went into a rage because he was sent to his room. He would not stop screaming and yelling and I had to sit on him and put a sheet over his mouth to mute out the horrible screams,. It was like he was demonic. He eventually got a nose-bleed from thrashing around so much and the blood just kept dripping onto the floor I wanted to throw up and all I could do was cry. Finally, after yelling for my boyfriend (his guardian of 3 yrs) to come and help all he saw was the blood and gave me a look. I just wanted to curl up and die. My son ran out of the room and I lay on his floor crying alone.
Wow - I just got home from my son's therapist appointment. I went by myself because we were discussing plans for him at school. That is where his episodes take place. At him we have rarely seen any of these behaviors and when we did, it was at least 5 years ago. He is not 12 and his behaviors at school continue to be the symptoms of IED. His Psychiatrist has not confirmed this diagnosis yet but we have already been through the ODD, ADHD, Bipolar diagnosis' but he doesn't match any of them fully. What sets him apart is that he will get himself so angered he has actually defacated in the school's quiet area for bahavioral issues. When he does this, he is sent home which is what he wants so he is comfortable again. Please let me know if anyone else has experienced their child defecating and urinating during one of these rages. He does display other symptoms but again only at school. Hitting, kicking, cursing, swearing and property distruction but this is not every day. It happens every few weeks. He is on zoloft, depakote and intuniv and this mix seems to work best for him. We have tried many others. This is such a stressful disorder to deal with but I can't imagine how these kids and grownups must feel knowing they have it.
First of all, I owe the authors of this article a huge thank you. Recently, I have actually been attempting research as to why I act so overzealous when angry. Now I know. I have had and dealt with this problem since I was a young child. Something would set me off, and I would "blow up". I would scream, throw things, curse violently, act aggressively towards people or animals, and kick holes in the wall. Afterward, I would always feel heavy guilt & remorse for acting out that way. It still happens to this day, though I have managed to control a small section. Everyone, please hear me out when I say this IS debilitating. It ruins relationships, friendships, and even business to a degree. I find myself angry all the time with customers at work that is not even worth sweating over. Am attempting to go in for a psychological evaluation soon, but if anyone has any words of wisdom, or a light dose medication (very sensitive) that they would recommend inquiring about, please let me know. Anger drains the life & energy out of you, and as human beings, we need both of those.

With so many flower delivery services on the market, we looked at some of the newer concepts – letterbox flowers, designed to fit straight through the door so you don’t need to be in, and subscription boxes, where blooms are delivered to your door on a rolling basis.
These flowers arrive ‘in bud’, so that you can watch them bloom and last the maximum amount of time. They come with two food sachets (for day one and day three) and a booklet containing step-by-step instructions on how to unpack and arrange the flowers. With 18 assorted stems, from fiery alstroemeria to rich red sweet william and greenery from tree fern to pitto, this bouquet looked full and vibrant from day one. By day three, it looked even more so, and lasted just under two weeks.
Another bouquet that arrives in bud, this contained 14 stems, a mixture of white athena roses, two-tone lisianthus, dark milka aster, white gypsophila and eucalyptus. It had just one sachet of food, but after following the care tips – they encourage you to get creative and arrange them how you want – it came into its own by day three and lasted just shy of two weeks.
We loved the colours in this bouquet – vibrant yellows and oranges and warm red reminiscent of a sunset. There were 16 stems, an assortment of roses, lily, chrysanthemum, hypericum, alstroemeria and pistache, which complemented each other beautifully. Sent ‘in bud’, some of the flowers were slightly more open than others, but by day three, the lilies opened, the bouquet bloomed and looked beautifully full. It came with one sachet of flower food and lasted about ten days.
With an impressive 25 stems, this was the fullest letterbox bouquet, though it should be noted that the packing box, while thin enough to fit through a letterbox, was more than a metre long. Containing red ruscus, copper-sprayed eucalyptus, purple carnations and purple santini, among others, it looked luxurious and professional when arranged. It came with one sachet of flower food and lasted nine days, needing regular changes of water, perhaps because there were so many stems.
Delivered by van direct from Freddie’s Flowers, these arrived in quite a large box; however, with a regular subscription, the packaging can be picked up to be recycled the following week. Inside were flowers to make the company’s ‘Cabbages and Roses’ bouquet – an interesting mix of 16 stems including roses, bouvardia, brassica and eucalyptus – with an introductory booklet and leaflet with step-by-step instructions on how to style the arrangement. When styled, it looked contemporary and professional, and with two sachets of flower food, it lasted 11 days. Subscribers can skip deliveries, up to 48 hours in advance, via an online calendar, and cancel whenever they wish.
The idea behind Posy & Posy’s ‘creative floral recipe boxes’ is to give you the tools to learn about the art of flower arranging. The flowers came in a ‘PosyCocoon’,which uses compostable gel bags to keep the flowers hydrated. Inside was a ‘recipe book’ with instructions on how to create the design alongside six types of floral ingredient – hero, round, fluffy, linear, foliage and textural. Our Midnight Wanderings recipe comprised 21 stems including flamingo flowers, orchid anemones and matilda rose stocks, which combined to form a rich and moody bouquet. You can subscribe on a monthly, fortnightly or weekly basis and cancel at any point. If you want to become a dab hand at arranging unusual flowers, then this one is for you.

The Griffin Police Department’s SWAT team responds to incidents that are deemed “high risk” or are considered to be outside the realm in which a normal response would be practical, or is deemed unsafe. Such incidents include hostage situations, barricaded suspects, high-risk warrant service, dignitary protection, surveillance, search warrant executions and other tactical situations.
The SWAT team is not a stand-alone unit; instead, its members are assigned to each shift and division where they perform duties as uniformed patrol officers and criminal investigators until they receive a call to respond to a tactical situation.
Team members training includes dynamic and static entry methods, hostage negotiations and rescue, dignitary protection; use of force, less than lethal force, full auto weapons, tactical rifle and counter sniper measures.

Sport England recently carried out an in-depth survey into disability, the different impairments numbers in different areas of the UK, so we ask why aren’t there as many taking part in disability sport?
Almost 1 in 5 people in the UK are classed as having a disability, that’s just over 18 million people, and almost 70% of those fall into the over 50 age group.
So how many of these actively take part in disability sport? According to figures produced by Sport England approximately 1.7 million disabled people are taking part in disability sports.
Many may not be aware but Wheelchair Dance is classified as a sport and is governed by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) and dancers (athletes) competed at the highest level for World Ranking just as in any other sport.
Wheelchair Dance Sport is widely practiced in Europe with countries like Russia and Ukraine leading the World Rankings.
In the UK, however, wheelchair dance is not so well known and classes are few for people to take part, not just to be able to compete, but also to dance socially and have fun.
Strictly Wheels Foundation are committed to raising the profile of wheelchair dance sport to encourage more people to seek out classes and take up the activity and to break down barriers of why people don’t take part in this social activity and sport.
SportEngland, despite the IPC governance, has yet to fully recognise Wheelchair Dance Sport in the UK which could open up many avenues for funding for clubs and athletes to progress and complete for Team GB. With the right funding and increased awareness it would be fantastic if Wheelchair Dance could feature as one of the top disabilty sports in the UK.

GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) and Delaware-based Advanced Reactor Concepts (ARC Nuclear) are to jointly develop and license an advanced small modular reactor (aSMR) based on their sodium-cooled reactor technologies, the companies announced March 13.
GEH and ARC Nuclear plan to enter the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission's Vendor Design Review process, the companies said in a joint statement. A number of advanced nuclear reactor developers are targeting the Canadian market, where the risk-informed regulatory framework is considered more supportive for licensing new designs than in the U.S.
"This collaborative commercialization program also includes the near-term goals of confirming projected construction and operating costs, as well as the identification of a lead-plant owner/operator for the joint aSMR," the companies said.
GEH and ARC Nuclear have until now developed separate advanced reactor designs based on the EBR-II, an integral sodium-cooled fast reactor prototype which was developed by Argonne National Laboratory and operated for over 30 years at Idaho Falls, Idaho.
The ARC-100 is a 100 MWe aSMR designed for efficient and flexible electricity generation and can operate for up to 20 years without refuelling. GEH's PRISM reactor is designed to refuel every 12 to 24 months and has primarily been focused on closing the fuel cycle by, among other things, consuming transuranics.
Both these technologies are capable of ‘load following’ to complement renewable energy, the companies noted in their statement.
In October 2016, GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) and Southern Nuclear announced a joint project to develop and license advanced reactors, including GEH's PRISM design.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is to begin the full certification review of NuScale's SMR design after judging the Design Certification Application (DCA) submitted January 12 as sufficiently complete, the NRC said March 15.
Oregon-based NuScale is the first company to submit the full design license application for an SMR in the U.S.
New safety features on SMR designs include passive safety systems, innovations in spent fuel pool design and smaller emergency planning zones than for larger reactors.
The developer has identified around six more potential plants in Western U.S. following its first plant in Idaho, Mike McGough, Chief Commercial Officer at NuScale, told Nuclear Energy Insider in December.
The progress of NuScale’s DCA will be closely watched by other global SMR developers with other license applications expected in Canada and UK in the coming years.
The NRC will provide a DCA review schedule "soon," it said.
Siemens has installed and tested the first commercial nuclear power plant component manufactured through 3D printing (a.k.a. additive manufacturing), the German technology group announced March 9.
The component, a 108-mm diameter impeller for a fire protection pump that is in constant rotating operation, was installed at the operational Krsko nuclear power plant in Slovenia, Siemens said. The Krsko plant operations team tested the installed component over several months, it said.
The preceding impeller type had become obsolete as the original manufacturing company no longer exists.
Siemens reverse-engineered and built a "digital twin" of the part and used the company's additive manufacturing facility in Finspang, Sweden to produce the replacement.
The successful project is an example of how data-driven capabilities are impacting the energy sector, Tim Holt, CEO of Siemens Power Generation Services division, said.
"Additive manufacturing's reduced lead times and faster production optimizes parts replacement and creates real value for our customers," he said.
Other nuclear companies active in additive manufacturing include Westinghouse and GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH).
New research has shown that additive manufacturing can halve manufacturing costs for replacement nuclear parts and complex design prototypes will demonstrate efficiency gains for advanced reactors, Clint Armstrong, Advanced Manufacturing Expert at Westinghouse, told Nuclear Energy Insider in January.
Going forward, Siemens and the Krsko plant operating company will look to advance the design of parts that are most difficult to produce using classical manufacturing techniques, such as lightweight structures with improved cooling patterns, Siemens said.
China and Saudi Arabia have agreed to jointly study the feasibility of constructing high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs) in the Middle Eastern kingdom, World Nuclear News (WNN) reported.
The agreement, signed March 16 by Jun Gu, president of China Nuclear Energy Engineering Group (CNEC) and Hashim bin Abdullah Yamani, president of King Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy (KA-CARE), follows a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by the two countries in January.
Since this MoU, China and Saudi Arabia have been working on the site selection process for new reactors as well as a new regulatory system and personal training programs, the report said.
The new agreement will see the countries cooperate on intellectual property issues and the development of a Saudi Arabian supply chain, it said.
Saudi Arabia is also looking to build large-scale nuclear power plants and plans to announce concrete plans for large-scale deployment in 2017, Khalid Al-Falih, the country’s energy minister, said in October.

Here is my new web site, with a blog this time! It is built using WordPress. I’ve created a custom theme for it to somewhat keep the feel of the previous site.
Also, I’m shifting focus away from consulting/contract work to spend time my own projects. You’ll see that my own projects are highlighted on the main page, rather than a portfolio of client projects.
I hope to write and share more about my own development projects, lessons learned, and thoughts about web/app/game development in the coming days and months.

The Doctor and his companions, Victoria and Jamie, go to the planet Telos for no conceivable reason, and there do their best to help a group of human archeologists gain entrance to the heavily fortified and titular Tomb of the Cybermen – all the while telling them they really ought not to.
Obviously, there are still dangers lurking in the cyber catacombs, and all of the human explorers aren’t quite what they seem.
Despite some rather racist elements, and a plot that at times makes little sense, The Tomb of The Cybermen is a marvellous piece of TV history. The first fully intact Patrick Troughton serial, ‘Tomb’ flaunts beautiful sets and tonnes of – now classic – Sci-Fi tropes. It also sees the introduction of both the Cybermats and the Cyber-Controller, the latter of whom we previously encountered on Who Back When in the NewWho episode The Age of Steel with David Tennant.
Where did The Doctor get a cape?
When did Victoria become a sharpshooter?
How come the Cyber-Controller destroys his only charger?
And why the severe racist undertones, Kit Pedler?
~ This story had the working titles of The Ice Tombs of Telos and The Cybermen Planet.
~This serial was believed lost in 1978 (when the BBC’s film archive was first properly audited, although it is absent on earlier 1976 listings) until film telerecordings of all four episodes were returned to the BBC by the Hong Kong television company ATV (formerly called RTV) in late 1991. The serial was released, to much fan excitement and with a specially recorded introduction by director Morris Barry, on VHS in May 1992.
~Following the story’s recovery in 1991 and return early in 1992 after decades of being presumed wiped, the episode was screened to a packed audience at BAFTA in Piccadilly on 26 April 1992, along with guests including director Morris Barry, producer Peter Bryant, story editor Victor Pemberton and actors Frazer Hines, Deborah Watling, Shirley Cooklin, Clive Merrison, George Roubicek and Michael Kilgarriff. Tony Clark, one of the audience members, recalled huge rounds of applause and thought that “everyone did love it”. The broad verdict of a group of reviewers in DWB issue 101 agreed that the long-missing episode lived up to hype of its reputation of existing “at the very apex of Doctor Who’s pyramid of masterpiece stories” when it was originally released on VHS. Gary Russell, reviewing the story in DWM 187, gave a “largely positive” review and said he “could go on forever about what’s good in The Tomb of the Cybermen”.
~Eleventh Doctor actor Matt Smith cited The Tomb of the Cybermen as one of his favourite Doctor Who stories.
~Up until “The Enemy of the World” was found and recovered, this serial was the only complete story from Season 5 of the Classic Series. It is also the only complete Cyberman story from Troughton’s run on Doctor Who.
Now that the fact file is out of the way, let’s get on with the review.
In my review of “The Moonbase”, I intended to say it was one of if not the best Troughton serial of all time. “The Tomb of the Cybermen”, however, is the best Cybermen serial of the Troughton Era, maybe even the best Cybermen serial of all time.
At this point Patrick Troughton was building up a head of steam as Doctor Two now, and his relationship with Jamie was well cemented. There’s plenty of humour between them: the scene where the Doctor realises he’s holding Jamie’s hand and tosses it aside in annoyance is redolent of Oliver Hardy himself. There’s a softer side, too. Much has already been written in books and on fansites, not surprisingly, about the moment the Doctor counsels Victoria on the grieving process. It’s tenderly acted and unfussily written, but credit should also go to director Morris Barry for his expressive use of close-up. It was rarely more appropriate than here.
The Cybermen are the same as seen in “The Moonbase”, Maybe even part of the same batch of Cybermen, seeing that they are the same as they looked last time. You could say the “Moonbase” Cybermen originated on Telos. The Telos terrors have been bolstered by a Controller, with his veined cranium denoting extra intelligence, and also by the scuttling Cybermats. The idea of the latter is definitely scarier than the actuality: their ping-pong eyes and felt teeth are very Blue Peter, while the story doesn’t make clear what threat they actually pose. Sometimes they are hard to understand. It has to be dead quiet to hear them clearly. You can try to tell what they are saying, but sometimes it’s hard to do. Many say the “electrolarynx” Cyber-voice was an improvement on the singsong whine adopted by actors in The Tenth Planet. I’m not so sure. The earlier method, with its haphazard emphases, was somehow weirder and more alien-sounding, while the new Cybermen add rogue vowels on the end of sentences (“You will remain still-a”; “We must survive-a”). It’s not irritating, but it can be problematic when you can’t tell what they’re saying.
Jamie and Victoria were very good alongside the Doctor. It’s also notable that Klieg, who counts as the secondary villain, was brilliant. He wanted the Cybermen for their logic, as he was a logical man himself. I also like how logical the villains/Cybermen went about things. I mean, the way the tombs were set up and how to access them the way you needed to. It was brilliant.
I am so glad this story exists in it’s entirety, because if not then you couldn’t admire the sets and props. It’s interesting what you can do with a budget, Styrofoam and tin foil. It’s also a great story and it’s perfect for Victoria’s first outing in the TARDIS.
Overall, I love this story. This was my introduction to Troughton. Though it’s not my favorite Troughton serial, it’s my favorite Cybermen serial by far. Not only that, but this serial is the only Cyberman story from the 60’s that exists in it’s entirety! So, I’m giving this story a 4.5/5. It’s just that good. I have nothing but praise for this story.
Toberman was originally going to be deaf, and when the Cybermen upgraded him, they would’ve given him a hearing aid. That’s why Toberman has little to no lines because they changed this plot point last minute. However, this plot point was retained for the Target novelization for the story.
I’m going to split my review into three different areas: Victoria, Main Plot, and Fun Facts.
First off is Victoria and more specifically how she measures up as a companion. In Evil of the Daleks she was a damsel in distress and fairly useless and I remember entering this serial for the first time thinking that we had Vikki 2 on board. Especially with her logical leaps upon entering the Tardis in the first episode. On discovering that the Doctor travels in time & space she of course assumes that he’s really old. (I don’t get it.) The next bit we get of Victoria is the one-off that she’s a little prude about her dress length, and soon after gets into the equipment that she doesn’t know anything about. Between episodes two and three Victoria asserts herself to disarm Kaftan and get the hatch opened. Her reaction to being called “honey” or “vic” mirrors Susan’s annoyance with being spoken down to, but without the need for an irritation index. Her conversation with doctor during her night watch is one of my favorite Troughton moments. A heart to heart that shows both of them as deeper characters than they appear. “You’ll find there is so much else for us to remember. Our lives are different than anybody else’s. That’s the exciting thing. Cause nobody in the universe can do what we’re doing.” (Ponken I’m sure you read that just fine, but Troughton saying it makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck.) For the rest of the serial Victoria doesn’t play any major part, but she’s not just standing around screaming either. By the end Victoria is a full companion in my eyes.
The main plot is original and gives us a good chunk of Doctor Who lore. From what is going on in the Cybermen chronology to doctor and companion bonding moments. I particularly love that Jaime calls the Doc out on the poor pun, despite Jamie coming from a time before the term “mental breakdown” would mean anything. The plot is strong, despite some small illogical logic leaps and loop holes. (If the ship will take 3 days to repair and only about a day is passed, how do they take off in the end.) It was thoroughly entertaining and well paced throughout. I love that Toberman is able to break through his conditioning. This also leads perfectly into the Fun Facts.
This serial is the 1st to feature the Cybermen attempting to control a human, which eventually will become the conversion process. It also provides us with a number of other firsts. It is the 1st serial to reference Telos; it is the 1st to involve archaeologists who stumble upon/create trouble; it is the 1st to feature Cybermats (the effects of which are better than in some later episodes, in my opinion); it is the 1st to feature a Cyber-Controller; it is the 1st to give an age to The Doctor (450); it is the first to feature what TV Tropes calls “Sealed Evil in a Can” where something bad is let out of its prison/cage during the course of the story; and lastly, it is the 1st of 5 completely available 2nd Doctor serials.
I absolutely love this serial! I could watch it again and again and again. I actually did that to write this review. This is my first 5.0 and I’d give it higher if I could, but alas my understanding of symbolic logic does not allow for it.

Just downloading and really looking forward to listening to this straight away. But again I think you mark too harshly – especially you, Niculele.
I give it a 4.9. I am taking a 10th of a mark off because the cybermen run out of batteries a little too quickly – they were so good when firing on all cylinders.
This is one of the greatest ever Who adventures. And the first one I ever saw when it was first broadcast. Life changing experience. 2.5/5 indeed…pffft!
Hi guys, I’m straight back after listening to your review. I give this podcast a firm 4.5/5 – WBW is definitely a favourite of mine and I have sampled many of the Who podcasts available over the past 5 or so years. In fact, WBW is right up there with the Krynoids, 42 to Doomsday and Zeuspod as the small group of Who podcasts among the many that I actually eagerly await new releases of.
That said, I would like to take up a point about the interpretation of Doberman, sorry Toberman. I think that far from being racist writing, the casting of an actor with a prima facie African ethnic heritage in the role is artistically successful and introduces a sincerely held anti-racism theme into the story. Toberman, as an “African heritage servant” symbolically communicates to the viewer immediately that he is fundamentally a good person, noble but exploited by the forces of evil. It establishes in an instant with the viewer that Kaftan, the financier, is an evil person who will cause trouble. It thus creates a plot tension that helps to propel tremendous interest in the unfolding of the story and the fates of the protagonists and antagonists portrayed. Will each get his or her just deserts? Toberman does wrong in the story but his servitude mitigates his culpability, his loyalty is misplaced but understandable. The question is posed, can he break free of his chains? His exploitation reaches its nadir when he becomes in turn a slave to the cybermen. The satisfaction the viewer feels with the denouement arises largely from his escape, redemption and the vindication of Humanity through his heroism in confronting evil and defeating it.
The viewpoint you express on the Toberman character as cast is similar to the stance taken in other contemporary reviews of Tomb I have encountered (e.g., Krynoid Podcast) and I think reflects a current hypersensitivity to an enduring issue that, in my opinion, is ironically reductive of people’s intrinsic humanity. The symbol of the slave, here instantiated as a sci-fi version of a plantation era African slave, is a powerful metaphor for suffering, injustice, the inherent evil of exploitation and the immutability of the primacy of human rights. The Toberman literary creation is inextricably central to the greatness of Tomb as a work of science fiction and raises it to the status of possessing considerable artistic merit.
Whatever. Keep up your entertaining and thought-provoking work. cheers.
Hey Scorby, first off, thanks so much for your praise! Really glad you’re enjoying the show!
Okidoki, let’s get down to business. Your interpretation of the character of Toberman is really compelling, and once again I feel that perhaps I’ve been a little too harsh in my rating. I agree to a point with what you’ve said. Toberman, much like Kemel in ‘The Evil of the Daleks’, is only acting on behalf of another, and in the end proves that he is morally superior to his masters, his altruism literally culminating in self-sacrifice. You’re totes-malotes right! We should probably have given greater emphasis to that.
His human masters are foreigners as well, though, (in fact the only other foreigners on the cast) as opposed to the good guys who are all English or (fake) American.
I think we’ve addressed on the podcast before that the mere presence of a minority on the cast is already a step in the right direction. What still bothers me a little with regard to Toberman, though, and what I imagine you’ve heard in other reviews, is that when we get a minority representative in Classic Who, so far, they’ve not been given proper speaking parts or any degree of intellectual agency, unless it’s acted out with malice, e.g. Kaftan. Toberman proves himself to be a good guy in the end, but I’m still looking forward to seeing an ethnic minority represented with both EQ and IQ.
You’ve provided a total eye-opener! Thank you! Next time we encounter this phenomenon in a classic serial – I’m assuming there’ll be a next time – I will bear your comment in mind.
Long may you keep provoking thoughts. Excelsior!
…oh, and it is a fair point you make in response! cheers again.
This is a brilliant story that sees the “base under assault” theme approached from the opposite point of view. The Doctor is written brilliantly here, almost foreshadowing Sylvester McCoy’s Dr. in that he’s always one step ahead of everyone else.
As I’ve just listened to [most of] the podcast, I’d like to comment on 3 points: 1) the Dr opens the doors because first, he knows that one way or the other, sooner or later, the humans will get in. He would rather it happen while he is there than when he is not. Second, he also does it to deflect the accusations that he was involved in the death at the front door. Third, he just can’t help himself. He’s curious and adventurous, that’s all there is to it. 2) The Dr knows Kaftan is playing everyone for a fool. He’s just not going to show his hand too early. He also knows he came down on the other scientist hard. To pick him back up he triggers the one button that will finish the sequence to make him feel better about…himself. Like I said, he’s always one step ahead of everyone else. 3) there is a tremendous amount of time passage here that is not seen on screen. Remember them sleeping and scenes like it? Maybe it didn’t take 72 hours to fix the ship, but it didn’t take 3 hours either.
Victoria is interesting here. She definitely plays the damsel. However she’s an intelligent and resourceful one. Remember this is her first adventure and she’s in way over her head. The fact that she’s not going “what’s [insert everything invented after the Victorian era here]” is an astounding leap of faith and trust in Jamie and the Dr. She should be cowering in the corner and/or examining every last pencil in the room as if it’s a wonder of technology.
Jamie is both humbled and shining in this series. Not much to say as he is just brilliant in most episodes of every series.
There are some very beautiful quotes in this episode, including D n V talking about families. A little icon heavy but the set is brilliant. I agree though that a huge sense of dread is lost because we only hear discussions of how big the tombs are, we never see the long shot of them. That’s a shame. Remember that shot from “The Daleks”? Still the cybermen are ominous here (if not a little inept at times).
The cybermats didn’t really do anything in this episode, although I love the concept of them. Because they are living metal, we see the tiny “baby” cybermat (Cybermite?) which foreshadows the larger one’s later. Perhaps the little ones grow up. However the little one presumably bites the Kaftan and nothing at all comes of it. Sad. What happened to that virus from “The Moonbase”? Not at all what we see them do in later series. Thus this series script revisions would be to take out the “cybermats aren’t working” scene and replace with a scene of them injecting Toberman with the cybervirus (or at least stunning him and the Kaftan). Play up the low power aspect of the cybermen a little more so it accounts for their inability to do much here, and show that long shot of the thousands of tombs…and lose the reverse shots for going back into stasis.
The Doctor wearing a cloak which the podcast refers to as a cape demonstrates how prepared he was during this serial, in which his curiosity consigns most of this expedition on an alien world to heinous death. Jamie, or someone, in fact, remarks upon his preparedness. Anyway, the podcsast remarks on the cape asking when the Doctor had a cape before. William Hartnell’s doctor wore it on occasion. In fact, you have a picture captioned ‘Badass Doctor stares down a War Machine in the podcast about, you guessed it, “The War Machines”.
The Doctor and Jamie welcomed Victoria aboard the TARDIS and arrived on the planet Telos as an explosion revealed a pair of enormous double doors. The first person to try opening them died. Despite the archaeologists’ unwelcoming, suspicious reception, the revelation they had come to study Cybermen compelled the time travelers to stay . The Doctor determined the charge electrifying the doors had dissipated and maneuvered Toberman, a servant of the expedition’s financiers, Kleig and Kaftan, into opening them. Beyond the doors, the archaeologists overlooked two separate doors the Doctor pointed out and explained how to open. After the explorers split up, Kaftan trapped Victoria in a large cabinet where projectors could revitalize a single Cyberman. The Doctor freed and calmed her before hurrying to Jamie. He was operating a hypnotic device as a Cyberman entered and the archaeologist with him was shot.
The Doctor noted the dead man was shot in the back and discovered the emerging Cyberman was a mock up target for testing weapons as he safely recreated the incident. Jamie found a Cybermat Victoria put it in her handbag after the Doctor used his 500 year diary to identify it. In the central chamber, Toberman told Kaftan he had completed a task before the lead archaeologist announced his decision to return to Earth. Their pilot, though, revealed the rocket had been sabotaged, necessitating extensive repairs. The Doctor prompted the Captain to reveal he would keep his passengers off the rocket, in part, because he didn’t know who caused the damage before helping Klieg, both openly and surreptitiously, to raise the hatch dominating one wall of the central chamber. All the men not repairing the rocket explored the Cybermen’s frozen tombs. Kaftan drugged Victoria’s coffee and lowered the hatch as her victim slept. Below, Klieg raised the temperature and shot an archaeologist, who panicked as reviving Cybermen began moving. When Victoria recovered, Kaftan covered her with a gun until the Cybermat in her handbag emerged and attacked Kaftan. Victoria snatched the gun and shot the Cybermat. Fully revived, Cybermen retrieved their Cybercontroller, who announced humans belonged to Cybermen and would be like them.
Victoria hurried to bring the Captain and a crewman into the central chamber in order to raise the hatch. Both men went down with smoke bombs and rescued everyone except Toberman. The inevitable Scooby Dooing ended as the Cyberman pursued the Doctor couldn’t both grasp him and hold up the hatch and retreated. Kaftan and Klieg were locked in the test range and acquired the Cybergun. Meanwhile, Cybermen attacked with Cybermats and the Doctor defeated them with an electric cable. Subsequently, the prisoners emerged from their prison and Klieg shot at the Doctor.
The shot missed the Doctor, but killed someone else before Klieg armed Kaftan, opening the hatch, and summoning the Cybercontroller. Believing the Cybergun, gave him bargaining power, Klieg revealed he represented logicians and offered the Cybercontroller an alliance as well as the chance to revitalize in exchange for Toberman, whom the Cyberman controlled, and the promise of technology. The Doctor imprisoned the Cybercontroller in the revitalization machine, and convinced Toberman to fight the metal monster after it literally broke out. Kaftan died before their battle began because Cybermen don’t honor bargains, but Jamie fought the Cybermen back, making them retreat to their tombs. The battle ended when the big man lifted the Cybercontroller overhead and hurled him into the hatch controls. The Doctor decided to take Toberman to help seal the Cybermen in their tombs. Jamie trailed Klieg, who followed them and objected to the Doctor freezing the Cybermen into their tombs forever. The Doctor extolled the virtues of an alliance between Klieg and the Cybermen. Klieg decided he would leave the Doctor, despite his understanding of the logicians’ objectives; his companions; and the archaeologists to the Cybermen instead of killing them. Before a Cyberman killed Klieg, the Doctor said he was undoubtedly mad. Toberman attacked and destroyed Klieg’s killer as the remaining Cybermen were frozen in their tombs. Above them, the rocket was ready and the Doctor electrified the controls and the hatch as well as the doors to prevent anyone else from walking into the Cybermen’s trap. Closing the doors would complete the circuit, but the Cybercontroller returned to life. Separating, the Doctor and Jamie ran outside, where the Doctor realized an insulator would be needed to safely close the doors. Toberman, though, refused to allow the Cybercontroller to pass and died closing the doors. The group, except perhaps the Doctor, felt they wouldn’t see Cybermen again, but there was a Cybermat outside the tomb.
DOCTOR WHO put “Revenge of the Cybermen” out when they did because no episodes from the classic “The Tomb of the Cyberman,” which fans selected for their first videocassette release, where then in BBC archives. When all four of the missing story’s episodes were returned from Hong Kong in 1992, they comprised the only story from the show’s fifth season featuring companion Victoria Waterfield to be intact until “Enemy of the World” was recovered in 2013. This third Cybermen story was a variation of the base under siege plot the first two employed. The Cybermen’s creator, Kit Pedler, and Writer Gerry Davis let their monsters set a clever trap for intelligent people on the planet Telos, which Cybermen adopted after their home planet, Mondas, “The Tenth Planet,” and Earth’s twin, was destroyed. Cybermen used Cybermats for the first time here, though the Doctor looked them up in his 500 year diary, suggesting he had encountered them before. His research was useful, enabling him to describe and defeat the creatures later in the story. Once again, as in the Cybermen’s last appearance, the Doctor decided to stay and combat his enemies, who remembered him from both their previous confrontations, at the Moonbase and on Earth, when Mondas was destroyed. Upon learning of the archaeological expedition’s purpose, the Doctor’s curiosity was insatiable. Deterred by neither the archaeologist who perished as he arrived nor the professional expedition’s ineptness, he pointed out and opened two doors the searchers didn’t realize existed and surreptitiously threw a switch to help them raise the hatch and admit them to the tombs. Thus, the Doctor is at least partially responsible for the deaths of Klieg, Kaften, Toberman and a archaeologists. Victoria, the Doctor’s newest companion, was curious and a deadly shot with a pistol, but evidently knew her limitations. She screamed at Cybermen and knew to fetch the rocket crew to help raise the hatch after Kaften lowered it and held a gun on her. Jamie played his usual role as the Doctor’s loyal protector, which amounted to little more than tagging along. Actors Patrick Troughton and Frazier Hines, portraying the Doctor and Jamie respectively, deliberately and covertly slipped humor into the serials of their era. For example, flanking Victoria, each reached for her hands in the initial scene, but gripped one another instead. Their antics likely didn’t please Director Morris Barry, who famously had the entire, impressive tomb set moved to align properly with the cameras he believed were set up correctly. Gerry Davis novelized his story for Target Books and actor Michael Kilgarriff, the Cybercontroller, read it for audio. It’s script appeared as a separate volume from Titan Books and the soundtrack exists with narration around the dialogue provided by Frazier Hines on CDs and Jon Pertwee on a previously released cassette.

On 7 December 1988, the world was hit by the news of a devastating earthquake that killed at least 31,000 and injured about 130,000 people in the little-known Soviet Socialist Republic of Armenia. Buildings lay in ruins and thousands were left homeless in a cold winter's dawn. Shockingly, Mikhail Gorbachev, the leader of the mighty USSR, admitted his country was unable to deal with the destruction, the search for survivors, and the rebuilding. He called for international help, and it was given, but soon a question arose: how could an earthquake of 6.8 magnitude cause such disproportionate destruction?
Twenty-seven years after the Armenian Earthquake and the collapse of the Soviet Union, Gyumri, the city that suffered the most on 7 December 1988, continues to bear the marks of the tragedy.
The second biggest city in Armenia, Gyumri is actually one of the most charming places in this country. Unlike so many other cities in the Caucasus, it is not a blend of mediaeval and Soviet architecture. Instead, Gyumri has the distinct atmosphere of a 19th Century provincial town, with wide streets, spacious squares and lines of small, exquisite villas and mansions. The churches, with their mediaeval Armenian architecture, are also from the 19th Century. There is the ubiquitous Soviet imprint as well, mainly in the administrative buildings and the high-rise prefabricated blocks of the new neighbourhoods.
Gyumri came into being because of the Russian Empire. The place where the city is was inhabited in the 1st Millennium BC by the Hittites, but by mediaeval times it had slowly shrunk into an insignificant backwater. Things changed when Russia took over this part of the Caucasus, in 1803. Gyumri was now on the border of an aggressive empire with its regional foes, Iran and the Ottoman Empire, and became a military outpost. The menacing fortress of Sev Berd, built on an adjacent hilltop for the 1828-1829 Russo-Turkish War, is a reminder of these times, and is now one of the major tourist sites in the city.
The Russian army was followed by a stream of merchants and manufacturers, and in a matter of a few decades Gyumri became one of the powerhouses of the region. Its beautiful churches and mansions reflect the wealth generated.
In 1837, Tsar Nicholas I emphasised the special place Gyumri held, when he renamed it Alexandropol, after his wife. The next time the city got a new name was soon after the Russian Empire merged into the Soviet one: in 1924, Alexandropol became Leninakan, after the recently deceased Vladimir Lenin. It remained Leninakan until 1993, when it reverted to Gyumri.
Changes of names and empires aside, little has been altered in the historical Kumayri district since the 19th Century. Slowly strolling elderly people and playing children inhabit the quiet streets. Tiny bakeries exhale the warm aroma of fresh loaves. Barbers carry on their business in salons as in olden times. Many of the mansions are in a picturesque state of dilapidation, and at sunset the dusty streets and the crumbing walls glow red and orange. Sunflower seed eating is the favourite pastime of those who flock to Vartanants Square, Gyumri's most popular gathering place, defined by two 19th Century churches, and a hotel and city hall from the 1920s-1930s.
Seen from here, Gyumri is pleasant, and the restaurants around reinforce this impression. This idyll, however, crumbles to dust under closer scrutiny. The churches bear the traces of the 1988 earthquake, and are still being repaired. Deeper, far more painful remains of the disaster are to be found on the outskirts of Gyumri, in the residential areas.
Like everywhere in the former East bloc, most of the citizens live in prefabricated blocks. In Gyumri, however, most of these blocks were only built after 1988. The reason? Their predecessors suffered the heaviest damage and what did not collapse straight away became uninhabitable. A later investigation found that the older prefabs in Gyumri had a fatal flow that made them more vulnerable to the earthquake. As they were constructed in the 1970s, when the Soviet economy was already struggling, the workers and managers stole concrete from construction sites and sold it on the black market, resulting in dangerously under-strength structures.
The result was the mind-numbing number of casualties.
Once the dust from the tremor had settled, the survivors found themselves in dire straits: their homes were either in ruins or dangerous to inhabit. The Soviet government settled the homeless in temporary shelters, the so-called domiki, or small houses. A promise was made that it would not be for long, and new housing would soon be provided for those affected.
The disintegration of the USSR, however, had already started, and the homeless of Leninakan were all but forgotten. Rebuilding took years in now independent Armenia. Today, about 3,500 citizens of Gyumri are still living in domiki. Huddled between the blocks, some with their own carefully maintained gardens or even decorated with recycled trash (tin, tyres, wood), the shanties continue to be the only homes of those whose only lucky break was to survive 7 December 1988.
The domiki do not have a mains water supply. Their walls are thin, and their window frames do not provide much shelter in winter. Their inhabitants, now mostly ageing, are eager to show an interested foreign journalist how they live.
It is a tough life we see, from the barren two-roomed shack where a woman in her 60s lives. The only furniture in one of the rooms is a cheap carpet, hung on the wall. Her neighbours are a couple of octogenarians and their daughter. They all share a bedroom, which is also their living room. A picture of the couple in happier times hangs over their bed. The man was an Armenian from the Greek diaspora, who moved to Gyumri after the Second World War, when Soviet Armenian emissaries were travelling the world, advertising the country as a true heaven. He believed them. Now, he does not say he regrets that decision – and we do not ask. The domik where he lives and where he will probably die is a sufficient answer.

The Aadhaar project, meant to give Indian residents a distinct, indigenously wrought digital identity, heralds a revolution in financial inclusion and subsidy administration.
The NDA government has introduced the Aadhaar Bill, 2016, in the Lok Sabha as a money Bill to obviate the need for Rajya Sabha approval.
Even so, the Congress should cooperate in the passage of the legislation: after all, it was the brainchild of its administration. Aadhaar has been issued to nearly 100 crore people, and the benefits of Aadhaar-linked payments are evident in the direct cash transfer of cooking fuel subsidy.
The government needs to accelerate enrollment and scale up Aadhaar-linked payments to disburse all subsidies. Therefore, legal backing to the UIDAI to implement Aadhaar is a must.
The revised Bill is robust, and in adherence to the directives of the Supreme Court. Aadhaar enrollment is not mandatory for a citizen. It is optional, like a passport, but needed for receipt of certain welfare payments and services.
If the beneficiary does not choose to enroll, she will forgo the benefit. Rightly, the Bill places the onus on the government to ensure that no one eligible for a benefit delivered using Aadhaar is denied an Aadhaar.
It says if the Aadhaar number is not assigned to a beneficiary, she must be offered an alternate means of identification to access welfare payments.
The proposed legislation addresses many concerns on privacy protection: by setting limits within which the identity database will operate and also preventing government’s overreach. Yet, some permitted exceptions are left to subordinate legislation, which is not good enough.
Further, the national security exercise of breaching individual privacy needs rigorous oversight: judicial, ex ante, and parliamentary, ex-post. For this, the Aadhaar legislation must be complemented with a separate law on privacy.
India’s national security establishment is under the control of the executive and its accountability to the people is tenuous. This must change, by making it accountable to a committee of Parliament.
