The Naked Rambler: the man prepared to go to prison for nudity
Six years ago, walking naked Rambler Stephen Gough of Land's End to John O'Groats brought him a media celebrity - and a prison sentence. Then another and another, and ... Why was locked up since then?
winter in HMP Perth. The River Tay has ice chips in his journey beyond the prison wall. Prisoners breathing catches in the clouds, while, unfortunately, in the circuit court. At this time of year, many choose not to be affected in its outdoor exercise. The stone corridors of space to sit quietly, 133 men are in the temporary block, while one of them was to meet me. For many of the prisoners who this man is a stranger. Are more likely to see his face in a newspaper on the wings.
Stephen Goughoccupies a parallel universe in HMP Perth. While the prison was moving through their daily program, and other prisoners in workshops or visits, it remains alone in his cell. At 20:30, when the building is closed at night, which is released for 30 minutes. Empty your trash, the messages of his letters and has a shower. If you're lucky, you also have time for a walk, a quick circuit of empty corridors.
This morning, Gough, 52, is on track to meet me, so that the rest of the waiting room behind the door. It was taken from his cell, along the corridor, down the stairs. I hear her bare feet padding on the stone before it became the office.
"Nice to meet you," Gough said politely.
We shake hands and for a while, I was not sure of where to sit. With a sense of duty of a long-term prisoner who is awaiting trial. His body is thin and pale, patched with strands of brown hair. Your penis is suspended in the cold air between us.
MediaGough called the Naked Rambler. He is serving 657 days for a breach of the peace and contempt of court. The gap was naked HMP Perth after completing a previous judgment. He was taken to Perth Sheriff Court, and represented himself naked. It was contempt. When he returned to prison, the cell was such that he had left - did not bother to pack
last sentenceGough is his 17th in 10 years. Since May 2006 was a series of short sentences interrupted by fleeting freedom itself: they have actually been in custody for nearly six years for refusing to get dressed. At a recent hearing, it was suggested that it might be in jail for the rest of his life. "People often go to jail for many years," he said, "before others see the light."
I wonder how it is. "Well, you know. You adapt."
So how does an intelligent, friendly, serious, even lost their freedom for their right to be naked? After a stint in the Royal Navy, and a flirtation with the Moonies in Thailand, Gough has spent nearly 20 years in his native country, Eastleigh. He worked as a truck driver and was involved with environmental groups and community life. Then, in 2000, 40, moved to Vancouver for a year with her partner and two children.
"I did not work in Canada," said Gough. "I spent my time watching the kids and hit the road. One day I was walking and something happened." He had an epiphany: .. "I realized that it was good to be British, buried in our education is that we are sick or do - it may be religion, or school, I realized that at a fundamental level, I'm fine, we are all well, and you can count on that part of yourself. "
This self-realization often Gough won the election to be naked in public, whether it was good, then his body was good. "The human body is not offensive," he says. "If this is what we say, as human beings, then it is not rational."
His former partner was "more conservative" and visit his parents proved disastrous. "One morning I came for breakfast naked, and that's everything, everything," Gough said flatly. "The problem was that his parents were not even that bothers me."
The couple returned to Santa Maria together, but Gough went to live with his mother. He arrived in England, he said, with intense satisfaction of what might offer nudity, and questioning "things we're taught to believe they are right." He visited a police station in Santa Maria and asked if it was illegal to walk naked through the streets. "They could not get an answer," he said.
Her bare feet, was the first short-lived. In January 2003, he left his mother's house and went to Santa Maria city center. "Nothing really happened," he says. "There was a man who shouted:" This is disgusting! "But he was eating a sandwich, so I think that's why. Went into the covered market where the police arrived in great difficulty."
For his audition, which was adopted by naturists groups. The BBC said she left naked "a multitude of followers." The photos show a muscular, healthy, radiant Gough on the steps of the court. "I wanted to follow my truth," he recalls, "to keep asking questions."
That summer, Gough left Land's End using hiking boots and a backpack. Their destination was John O'Groats. On his first day of the press ran reports jovial Cornish. In his second, he was arrested in St. Ives, briefly detained and then released. In the outer periphery of the city, was attacked brutally: "A couple of guys who pushed me I was kicked in the head and he did.". Draw the hooked nose. "I thought, is this what is going to be? But in reality, it was the only real problem I had until I get to Scotland. "
On his journey through England, surrounding cities and outside sleeping, Gough was arrested "occasionally" by police. She wore clothing and explain what he did. Officers perplexed, they say, the grass would be off season "in secret, through the back door." Someone in the legal system, which is not to be named later tells me that the English police sometimes keep quiet Gough was a little more than one county.
In Scotland, however, found the strongest opposition. In the northeast corner was picked up repeatedly by police and convicted of violating peace. He spent four months in HMP Inverness, an experience he found "good enough". It was his first experience of segregation. "I thrived and learned a lot about myself. You do this in extreme situations. "
After his release, Gough has launched a final push to John O'Groats. It was a few days of the northern tip of Great Britain when a car stopped and a man jumped. "He said he had read about me and had me up for days. Had a flask of soup and a cake and wished me good luck." Gough reached John O'Groats, January 22, 2004 and the media were waiting. He posed for pictures on the icon displays the personal and warm hotel room gave him a bottle of champagne. "It was a great feeling," he says. "I thought it was the end."
Gough returned to Santa Maria, bought a van and went to Studland, Dorset, a town popular with fans of alternative lifestyle. He tried to write a book on the promenade, but it is beset by a nagging doubt: "I thought it had been compromised Why put on my clothes when the police arrested me I was wrong, but defeated the whole point. ?. "
Doubt grows up to be covered. It would make the trip, this time "no compromise". With his new girlfriend, Melanie Roberts, left Land's End in June 2005.
In any case, England was even easier this time. Photos online show Gough and Roberts naked in the middle of drinkers in bars and shops naked smiling at supermarkets. Relations with police were nothing more than an irritation. "He asked what we were doing, we told them and that generally," said Gough.
again, was in Scotland, who got into trouble. "We took him to Edinburgh," he said. "And I was a little hard then."
For hardcore, Gough means he refused to dress for court and pleaded guilty to a breach of the peace. Roberts, meanwhile, got dressed, pleaded guilty and was in a shelter, while Gough was two weeks in prison Saughton.
Will cause tension between them? "People should do what they want," said Gough. "I am for freedom, so I accepted his decision."
returned to his feet amid growing interest in the media. A team of documentary images captured Gough and Roberts took over a village by a bagpiper. However, Gough recalls as a "carnival atmosphere" led to more problems. Although many Scottish police has decided to ignore Gough in the past, his fame spread more difficult. For police, the mass had been reached when, once again entered the home stretch of their journey.
"It took me again," Gough said, simply. "In the prison of Inverness. Just five months."
Gough and Roberts came to John O'Groats in February 2006. Again, he finished his journey in the colder months of the year. "Pretty cold, but manageable," he said defiantly, insisting temperature is only a problem "when it stops, as it is when you start typing. The trick is to continue. "Local journalists have reported Gough and Roberts walked stoically through" rain. "
"There were fewer photographers," Gough said of his second coming to John O'Groats. "And the champagne from the hotel gave me was a miniature."native
Roberts returned to Bournemouth with hearing dates, it meant that I had to return to Scotland, and with a report that far from the unique atmosphere of the walk, not working. "She felt the cause means more to me than her," said Gough.

Review: Silent Hill HD Collection
It was hard as a Silent Hill fan, see the venom that Konami was the champion of survival horror. Even if you enjoy some of the suites and spin-offs that have occurred in recent years, there is no denying that the credibility and prestige of the series is all but dried up.
yet -620x.jpg)
and Silent Hill 3
, however. Two of the greatest games ever made, and the best pair of classic horror you can expect to play. There is absolutely no way Konami could spoil the simple task of making these two songs in a beautiful collection of high definition, right?
This is what I thought, anyway.
Silent Hill Collection
(PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 [reviewed])Developer: Team Silent, studies Hijinx
Publisher: Konami
Released: March 20, 2012
PlayStation 2 games, the "collection" is incomplete without the fourth. Regardless if you like this game or not - Konami
factsilent chain team in the
Silent Hilland it seems ironic that the publisher may deny it today. Not to mention, the title has its fans and, with all its faults, deserves a place on the disk.
However, you can almost see why they left. After all, studies Hijinx was not competent enough to properly porttwo Games , let alone have the capacity to handle three. frankly disgusting horrible work has been done with this package. Silent Hill 2 is particularly bad, as the visual "upgrade" seems actually worst PlayStation 2 counterpart. The contrast of the game was changed so that all unnecessarily dark, while their claustrophobic fog effects are eliminated almost entirely. This reduces not only the atmosphere, it presents a series of graphical errors that the effect is there to hide.
is well known that the fog of the first Silent Hill
was an ingenious answer to the technical limitations of the time. Silent team could not make a big city in a huge world, so everything wrapped in a dark cloud to cover up what they could not be rendered. Although not as necessary on the PS2, which means that developers do not need to create environments with large distances of the draw. Without the fog, you can see parts of the game world have not been finalized and was to end in nothing. This is particularly evident at times near Toluca Lake, where water can be seen ending abruptly, as if she was running along the edge of the world. The boat sequence late in the game looks absolutely horrible, not only for the reason mentioned above, but also by the lack of texture of the water and the guiding light in the distance is now considered an established in cartoon star of a child. 
Silent Hill 3
looks much better, to be fair. The suite was already less dependent on fog and much more beautiful than its predecessor, though it seems to have been wearing a simple task. The game is more intense color scheme, with its emphasis on black and red, looks particularly good in HD, and I am glad that at leastThurs recording visual is not less than its counterpart a decade ago, although there were problems with the shadows without. I can not say that I personally found the game so bad in the view.
However, the sound problems pervade both parties. In Silent Hill 2

Modern languages in schools are 'close to extinction'
become a quest of minorities, educator warns teachers of languages ??
modern languages ??are endangered in British schools, a primary school teacher is to warn teachers.
Anthony Seldon, a pioneer in educational innovation and the head of Wellington College, language teachers say that their purpose is more work than it was for a century.
Learn French, German or Spanish is becoming a research minorities, such as learning from Greek into Latin and ancient, that tell a conference convened by the Network of Schools - a Partnership 5500 schools across the UK and abroad - at the University of Warwick. Note that, despite being more multicultural than ever, the UK has a "Little Britain", the attitude, threatening the international competitiveness and partnerships abroad.
The number of students taking GCSE French and German has halved in the last 16 years. This summer, 154,221 students were French, while in 1995, 350,027 did. Some 60,887 students took GCSE German this summer, compared to 129,386 in 1995. The number of students taking A-levels in French and German by nearly half between 1996 and 2010. Even adoption by China decreased during this period, from 2234 to 2104 students.
Seldon, who is also the biographer of Tony Blair say that nobody is willing to take responsibility for the decline: "The government is looking into schools to address school boards say the consideration of the items are too difficult. jury that the government should solve it. If we allow much longer without drastic measures, which have passed the tipping point. "
earlier this month, Michael Gove, the education minister, told the Guardian that he wanted the children to begin learning a foreign language from the age of five. Work tried to foreign languages ??compulsory from the age of seven early last year, but legislation was not passed by Parliament was dissolved ahead of general elections.
Seldon is encouraging teachers to broaden the range of languages ??to include Arabic, Mandarin and Urdu. It will advocate for languages ??that are taught in other subjects, and suggests some schools to invite business people, especially those involved in exports, to make students learning languages.
argue that there is a widespread perception in schools that is more difficult to get good grades in languages ??other issues. "We must change this emergency. We run the risk of becoming very insular and isolated from Britain and abroad ... is becoming Little Britain".
John Newton, director of Taunton, a public school in Somerset, said the proportion of students at a * s in languages ??at GCSE and A-level was much lower than in other issues. "Children grow up thinking that dominates the airwaves Britannia -. What is wrong is "
Meanwhile, the best grades at GCSE and do not necessarily indicate intelligence, the philosopher AC Grayling, who has set up a private university college in question, he said.

Leslie Le Quesne obituary
professor of surgery at the Middlesex Hospital
surgeons in the 1960s tend to worry about the technical operations rather than its outcome. The bitter joke - "the operation was a success but the patient did not survive" - ??was not entirely unjustified. Leslie Le Quesne, who died aged 91, was part of a new generation of surgeons inspired by the work of pioneers such as the American Francis Moore, who began to question the functional aspects of his art: how to prepare a patient for surgical strike, to monitor the physiological changes and, in particular, assessing and treating post-operative metabolic response.
All this required the knowledge of physiology and biochemistry. Besides being a fast and meticulous surgeon, Le Quesne was a pioneer in this field, and his ministry has issued a series of major studies on the acid-base balance, fluid balance and the system response endocrine. Much of this work was reported at the Society of Surgical Research (now the Society of Surgery Academic and Research), which was founded by David Patey, and Le Quesne became president, and was published in the British Journal of Surgery (BJS), a magazine that was essentially parochial, consisting of case reports and short limited largely to a British audience.
When Le Quesne was appointed chairman of the editorial board, its character has changed and has become the largest newspaper BJS clinical research and outside the United States. Surgical science kits to record their work in English, the lingua franca of medicine, but were excluded from American magazines tend to ignore the contributions from abroad. Le Quesne reputation as a scientist and teacher of students increased, and honors followed, including the dean of the faculty of London University of Medicine and Chief Justice of the examiners of the Royal College of Surgeons.
In 1969, he married Pamela ("Paddy") Fullerton, an eminent scientist neurological. The couple bought a house in Eton Villas, north of Regent Park in London, where he liked to entertain, with students and members of the department. The birth of his son, Thomas and William, made the extra happiness. The family bought a cottage in Exmoor, where they shared their love of fishing. Le Quesne has always been a big fan of Nelson, had a collection of memories of Nelson and is an authority on his fatal injuries at Trafalgar. He was instrumental in restoring the unkempt grave of Mrs. Nelson on Exmouth.was appointed medical director of the State Office of Scholarships, pro-rector of the University of London and in 1993, CBE. But these happy years were interrupted by the death of 1999 paddy of breast cancer. The house was sold Eton Villas, Le Quesne and moved into a small flat in Belsize Park nearby. Undeterred by age, which raised £ 150,000 to find a position as visiting professor of medicine at University College Hospital, to match the chair of surgery at Middlesex created in memory of his grandfather, Sir Alfred Pearce Gould. He is survived by her children and five grandchildren.

Scandal-weary France votes on outlawing prostitution
Because changes in public mood, members considered six months' imprisonment for those caught paying for sex
Degas and Toulouse-Lautrec painted, Hugo, Balzac and Zola wrote about them, Napoleon graduates and disgraced former presidential candidate, Dominique Strauss-Kahn said he had a "horror" of between them. Some even claim that they are part of the cultural heritage of France. Prostitutes have been a feature of French artistic circles, literary and political - and a target for politicians - for centuries

parliamentary debate and consultation on the White Paper on the Cabinet Office focused on carefully chosen examples of social enterprises and charities that perform public services. He slipped in the fact that service users often suffered in the private acquisition. instead of waiting for the board to privatize everything we hold dear, Oxford Save Our Services decided to work with 50 groups of anti-cuts to deal with national government policy.

These days, Fox can paint and draw on your heart's content in the Craft Café, a community enterprise in vibrant Glasgow Castlemilk. Set up to fight against social isolation among the elderly residents Castlemilk, the initiative has proved so effective that the staff that local GP practices routinely refer to elderly patients in the cafeteria, and established a sister project in Govan as a therapeutic approach for long-term illnesses.
