The street is diminutive, with only eight houses on one side and two on the other. The houses were built in the 1780s, are Grade II listed, and remain one of the few intact Georgian streets in London. There are records of the small, bow-fronted shops selling ribbons and mousetraps, and previous inhabitants include manual workers such as carpenters. - Halil from Bookmarklet

aahhh, makes sense now, I did notice the somewhat unusual street names, but I was unaware of this info: A network of streets in the north of Kentish Town was formerly part of a large estate owned by St John's College, Cambridge. Lady Margaret Road is named after Lady Margaret Beaufort, foundress of St John's College. Burghley Road is named for Lord Burghley, Chancellor to Elizabeth I... more... - Halil

The retailer's advert, using the tag "For every woman you are", features models ranging from size 8 to 16 who are supposed to portray the body shapes of real Marks and Spencer customers. But online comments have criticised the advert for Shapewear control underwear, which is designed to help women smooth out their curves, it was reported. M&S has dropped its celebrity models, including Twiggy and Myleene Klass, for the latest campaign - to focus on "real" women. It features ten models including a grey-haired 56-year-old, Yasmina Rossi. But the Shapewear campaign has led to a backlash by some customers, the Daily Mail reported. One wrote on Twitter: "It annoys me that there is only one curvy model on the M+S ad and five skinny rakes". Another wrote: "Only one of these is over size 14 and even she has no wobbly bits at all." Another comment, on the M&S Facebook page, said: "The whole 'plus size' model rigmarole is a bit devious. These women are models. "They are just bigger models than... more... - Winckel from Bookmarklet

"Though the topic of evil has historically been the domain of religion,[3] Peck makes great efforts to keep much of his discussion on a scientific basis, explaining the specific psychological mechanisms by which evil operates. He was also particularly conscious of the danger of a psychology of evil being misused for personal or political ends.[3] Peck considered that such a psychology should be used with great care, as falsely labeling people as evil is one of the very characteristics of evil. He argued that a diagnosis of evil should come from the standpoint of healing and safety for its victims, but also with the possibility even if remote, that the evil themselves may be cured." pstp psy phil http://www.scientificamerican.com/article..., 3 -22 sort The people of the lie dealing with inconvenient truths? - Thomas Page from Bookmarklet

''At a League of Nations conference in 1933, Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels remains seated while speaking to his interpreter. German-born Alfred Eisenstaedt, later one of the founding photographers of LIFE, recalled that Goebbels smiled at him until he learned that Eisenstaedt was Jewish — a moment Eisenstaedt captured in this photo. Suddenly, “he looked at me with hateful eyes and waited for me to wither,” the photographer recalled. “But I didn’t wither.” Not only didn’t he wither, he managed to take perhaps the most chilling portrait of pure evil to run in LIFE’s pages.'' - Beste Arfin Kiriloğlu

No criminal charges will be filed in the fatal police shooting of Kenneth Chamberlain, Sr., a 68-year-old Marine vet. He was shot to death in his White Plains, NY apartment after his medical alert device accidentally went off and signalled police to his apartment. According to reports, audio recordings captured by that device showed that a responding officer used racial slurs in addressing the man. Coverage around the web: CNN, Associated Press, CBS NYC, NY Daily News, The Journal News, NY Mag. Anthony Carelli, the White Plains police officer who killed Chamberlain, has been accused in a separate racially-charged incident of police brutality. - Winckel from Bookmarklet

"On the way to the Apple Store today to buy AppleCare+ for my wife’s new iPhone 5, we passed the new Microsoft Store, coincidentally in the middle of their Surface with Windows RT launch. (That is actually the product’s name. “Surface with Windows RT”.) They had set up a table and an Xbox demo in the hallway and were giving away “Microsoft Surface”-branded disposable rain ponchos (this entire mall is indoors, including the parking, and it didn’t rain today) and muffin fragments (much like when you order a soda on a plane, they pour a third of it into a little plastic cup full of hollow ice cylinders, and they don’t let you keep the rest of the can). An employee with a microphone in front of the Xbox kiosk was talking to the audience of nobody as if it were a dance party. The store is creepy: so many elements are embarrassingly similar to the Apple Store on the next floor. Microsoft even ripped off trivial elements that easily could have been different, such as the employee uniform.... more... - Winckel from Bookmarklet

""An IC3 male": that's what the police officer called me after he stopped me. IC3 is the code for a black person. I didn't like being called an IC3, but it's better than being called a nigger. That's what 21-year-old Mauro Demetrio was called as he sat in the back of a police van in August last year. "The problem with you," said PC Alex MacFarlane, who arrested Demetrio during the summer riots, "is that you will always be a nigger … you will always have black skin colour … don't hide behind your colour." I am a patron of Newham Monitoring project, set up to keep tabs on police behaviour and racist attacks, so I knew about the Demetrio case just after it happened. The moment I heard about it I thought: this is the one! Demetrio had secretly recorded the comments; the officer would be unable to deny what he had said. Here was the incident, I believed, that would finally bring to light the reality of police racism that many of us experience all the time. This isn't the first time such a... more... - Winckel from Bookmarklet

"A man was arrested, handcuffed and put in a cell overnight after filming police officers apparently having a coffee break in a bar while on duty. Management trainee Jake Coplestone, 20, claims that when police handed back his iPhone containing the footage, the handset had been tampered with repeatedly in a crude attempt to crack the password – resulting in it being ‘locked’ for 42 years. But he was able to retrieve the 51-second video, and show it to The Mail on Sunday. It shows five officers relaxing late in the evening in the Azuza, a bar and coffee shop, during a weekend shift in Marlborough, Wiltshire, five weeks ago. Mr Coplestone claims that following the filming he was approached by two of the officers and accused of being drunk and disorderly, then arrested. Wiltshire Police dispute his account and claim he was warned to leave the area because he was committing a public order offence, but was arrested when he returned. However, the force last night launched an investigation... more... - Winckel from Bookmarklet

The Conservative chief whip will meet leaders of the backbenchers 1922 committee amid growing anger among its executive over the way his outburst at police has dominated the headlines in recent weeks. Mr Mitchell is facing calls to quit after repeatedly refusing to disclose exactly what he recalls saying to police officers who stopped him cycling through the main gates to Downing Street. It was alleged that he called police “f****** plebs” and “morons” but Mr Mitchell has denied using “the words attributed” to him. He stayed away from the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham last week despite being the party’s only MP in the area, but this failed to quell speculation over his future. On Wednesday, Mr Mitchell faces the toughest test of his authority since the row erupted. He is certain to be barracked by Labour MPs during Prime Minister’s Questions and will also meet senior backbenchers to hear the mood among his Conservative colleagues. The “1922 Committee” of Conservative MPs... more... - Winckel from Bookmarklet

"It is the type of planet they've been searching for across the Milky Way galaxy and they found it circling a star right next door – 25 trillion miles away. But the Earthlike planet is so hot its surface may be like molten lava. Life cannot survive the 2,200 degree heat of the planet, so close to its star that it circles it every few days. The astronomers who found it say it's likely there are other planets circling the same star, a little farther away where it may be cool enough for water and life. And those planets might fit the not-too-hot, not-too-cold description sometimes call the Goldilocks Zone. That means that in the star system Alpha Centauri B, a just-right planet could be closer than astronomers had once imagined. It's so close that from some southern places on Earth, you can see Alpha Centauri B in the night sky without a telescope. But it's still so far that a trip there using current technology would take tens of thousands of years. But the wow factor of finding such a... more... - Winckel from Bookmarklet

Former company director Colin Farmer, 61, was hit in the back by 50,000 volt stun device and then handcuffed whilst on his way to met friends for a drink in his local pub. Police had earlier been dispatched after reports of a man roaming around Chorley town centre in Lancs armed with a sword. A patrolman spotted stroke victim Mr Farmer walking down the street using his white stick to get around and wrongly assumed he was the swordsman. Today Mr Farmer who used to run an architect's practise said he had made a formal complaint and is pursuing legal action against Lancashire Police which has apologised and begun an investigation. "The whole thing was like being trapped in a nightmare," said said Mr Farmer, a Fellow of The Instute of directors for 20 years. "I didn't even know the police were there. I heard this man shouting. I thought they were shouting at some people. "I certainly didn't know they were police - and I certainly didn't know they were shouting at me. "I thought I was... more... - Winckel from Bookmarklet

"Rose endured a nightmare evening as the England under-21s secured qualification for Euro 2013 on a night marred by sickening chants and a mass brawl after the final whistle, revealing he had also been pelted with stones during the second half. The Tottenham midfielder, on loan at Sunderland, was dismissed at the end for kicking the ball into the stands, his second bookable offence, and made gestures with his hands under in his armpits in a response to the disgraceful abuse as he left the field. The 22 year-old was also confronted by Serbian players, resulting in an ugly brawl involving players and staff from both sides. Steve Wigley, Pearce's assistant, was attacked as he attempted to retreat to the tunnel while goalkeeping coach Martin Thomas also appeared to be headbutted. England goalkeeper Jack Butland had a seat thrown at him. Rose has revealed he and his team-mates had heard monkey chants before the game had even kicked off and insists the Serbian Football Association must be... more... - Winckel from Bookmarklet
