Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E8PW0E - A roadside Kids Planet Day Nurseries recruitment banner in Appleton Thorn, Warrington, Cheshire, promoting early years childcare careers with the slogan Careers that are out of this world . The blue outdoor sign, fixed to railings beside a brick pavement and greenery, advertises nursery jobs at a private day nursery and includes the Kids Planet branding, website and Recruiting now message. The image is commercially useful for editorial coverage of childcare, nursery staffing, early years education, recruitment shortages, working parents and the cost of childcare in England. Kids Planet Appleton Thorn is listed by Ofsted at Thorn House, Green Lane, Appleton, Warrington, WA4 5NS, and the operator describes the nursery as set in the heart of Appleton Thorn with traditional building features and outdoor space. The photograph links a local Cheshire nursery setting with wider national debates about funded childcare places, Tax-Free Childcare, nursery capacity, childcare affordability and the pressure on providers to recruit and retain qualified early years staff. In England, eligible working parents may be able to receive funded childcare support, including 30 hours a week for children aged 9 months to 4 years, while Tax-Free Childcare can help eligible families pay approved providers. The word free is often used politically and in media coverage, but funded childcare is more precise because eligibility rules, provider charges, consumables, hours and local availability can all affect what parents actually pay. The overcast daylight, damp-looking paving and green roadside setting give the image an everyday suburban feel, making it suitable for news, policy, education, family finance and labour market stories. It can illustrate nursery recruitment campaigns, childcare benefits, government support, parental employment, local jobs, early years workforce pressures, private nursery provision and the practical reality behind childcare promises.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AERR7G - Thomas Cook Group plc was a British global travel group. It was formed on 19 June 2007 by the merger of Thomas Cook AG (itself the successor to Thomas Cook & Son) and MyTravel Group.[9] The group operated in two separate segments: a tour operator and an airline. It also operated travel agencies in Europe. On 23 September 2019 Thomas Cook Group and all UK entities went into compulsory liquidation.
Thomas Cook was listed on both the London Stock Exchange and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The Thomas Cook Group ceased trading on 23 September 2019. Approximately 21,000 worldwide employees were left without jobs (including 9,000 UK staff) and 600,000 customers (150,000 from the UK) were left abroad, triggering the UK's largest peacetime repatriation.
After the collapse, segments of the company were purchased by others, including the travel stores in the UK, the airlines, the Thomas Cook name and logo, the hotel brands and the tour operators.
In February 2019, the Financial Times newspaper said that the Thomas Cook Group had received bids for its airline business, which includes Condor, and also the company as a whole. In March 2019, Thomas Cook UK announced 21 travel office closures and the redundancy of 300 staff, justifying the decision with the fact that 64% of bookings had been made online in 2018
On 9 October 2019, independent travel agent Hays Travel announced that it had acquired all 555 former Thomas Cook travel stores in the UK, and planned to re-employ a significant number of former employees. Hays, which already operated 190 of their own stores, expected to retain over 25% of the retail staff, saving roughly 2,500 jobs

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JGXP12 - The landmark towers of Canada Square rise above Canary Wharf in London beneath a bright blue and partly cloudy sky. The HSBC tower at 8 Canada Square stands on the left, the pyramid-topped One Canada Square dominates the centre, and the Citi tower at 25 Canada Square appears on the right. Their visible corporate logos identify international banks in London's Docklands financial district.
The image became topical in July 2026 following the launch of the UK Financial Services Skills Compact, a government-backed agreement intended to reduce workforce skills gaps. HSBC UK was among the launch signatories. Signatories committed to preparing their UK workforces through training in artificial intelligence and other critical capabilities over rolling three-year periods. They also pledged to maintain or expand structured routes for new talent, appoint a senior executive responsible for closing skills gaps and publish annual progress updates.
The compact reflects growing concern about how generative AI, automation and digital transformation may reshape jobs across banking, insurance and the wider financial services industry. Employers face pressure to improve productivity while retaining experienced people, developing human judgement and creating credible routes into changing roles. Upskilling existing employees may help preserve institutional knowledge rather than relying solely on recruitment or workforce reductions.
This photograph illustrates banking, corporate employment, artificial intelligence, professional training, staff retention and the future of financial work. It also documents the modern commercial architecture of Canary Wharf, where glass and steel skyscrapers became symbols of London's role as an international finance centre. Although HSBC has announced plans to leave 8 Canada Square for a smaller City of London headquarters, the branded tower remains an instantly recognisable feature of the Canary Wharf skyline.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 5524231782 - 'Jailbird - 'Primal Scream' - Play this track here.
\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
Well its taken 90 shots before an excuse for a Primal Scream track.
Primal Scream date from 1982 back in Glasgow, Scotland. The band performed throughout 1982-1984, but their career did not take off until Bobby Gillespie left his position as drummer of The Jesus and Mary Chain. The band were a key part of the mid-1980s indie pop scene, but eventually moved away from their more jangly sound, taking on more psychedelic and then garage rock influences, before incorporating a dance music element to their sound.
The 1991 somewhat Acidhouse inspired album Screamadelica was the one that broke the band into the mainstream. It won the first Mercury Music Prize in 1992. Its best heard in its 2 x LP vinyl incarnation.
Bobby's school friend was Alan McGee, who took Gillespie to his first gig, a Thin Lizzy concert. McGee and Gillespie were heavily influenced by punk rock, and they joined a local punk band, The Drains, in 1978. McGee soon moved south to London, Gillespie staying in SE Glasgow.
The band still tour and I have some shots from w=33062170@N08&

Screamadelica (go for the 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) is an excellent starting point to get to know the band. Alternatively checkout the Dirty Hits compilation.

Perhaps prison is not the place to have a strong sex drive. Sex can be a terror. There could also me many straight / gay / homosexual predators wanting others. The lonely sometimes stray from their norm and be curious. Other times it may be for favours. More tabs, blow or less pain.
Pornography probably does not help either, maybe it makes it worse. Members of staff do have sex with inmates, some looking to be seduced, some seducing. Where a guard rapes or assaults a prisoner, the guard generally goes free and the prisoner is prosecuted as a pervert.
Tattoos can have special meanings in prison. A convicts skin canvass can say a lot about him and his history. Some are:

With new friends moving in its always difficult decorating a new place. Dave prefers more conservative celestrial blue while Nickolas has more a leaning for a yellow golden fern. Its looking like whatever happens it will take at least three coats of magnolia to paint over Gordons old choice of Fire cracker red. when we are finished blue and yellow will mix into a nice deep green. Probably a fitting reminder that Britain elected its first green MP in Brighton only last week.
Under the UK parliamentary system of government, a hung parliament (also known as a minority parliament, a balanced parliament or no overall control) is a legislature in which no political party has an absolute majority of seats.
This situation is normal in many legislatures with proportional representation such as the parliaments of Germany and Ireland, or in legislatures with strong regional parties
in such legislatures the term 'hung parliament' is rarely used since this is the typical outcome of an election.
However in nations in which the first-past-the-post voting system in single member districts is used to elect parliament, such as the United Kingdom and Canada, a coalition government or 'hung parliament' tends to be less common, as in these circumstances one party will usually hold enough seats to form a majority, often without a plurality of votes on a national basis. To resolve a hung parliament will usually result in either a coalition government, a minority government \u2013 or even a dissolution of parliament and a fresh election. It is these who will be choosing the paint tonight, in one of Londons most iconic addresses.

Many homeless who appear at nightshelter eat sweet things all day. Cakes and biscuits are cheap and are often what you crave if you have a speed or herion addiction. The meal here is a square meal with protein &
vitamins as well as carbohydrate. It is often the only balanced one in the day for these people.

Commanding respect, she knits the shoestring winter night shelter together, finding silver linings in grey clouds. Without her the shelter would not exist.
She hopes next year the local borough council will fund a permanent night shelter.
Even if they do, she will most likely put as much effort.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2KDPYAW - A printed circuit board (PCB
also printed wiring board or PWB) is a medium used in electrical and electronic engineering to connect electronic components to one another in a controlled manner. It takes the form of a laminated sandwich structure of conductive and insulating layers: each of the conductive layers is designed with an artwork pattern of traces, planes and other features (similar to wires on a flat surface) etched from one or more sheet layers of copper laminated onto and/or between sheet layers of a non-conductive substrate. Electrical components may be fixed to conductive pads on the outer layers in the shape designed to accept the component's terminals, generally by means of soldering, to both electrically connect and mechanically fasten them to it. Another manufacturing process adds vias: plated-through holes that allow interconnections between layers
The Austrian engineer Paul Eisler invented the printed circuit as part of a radio set while working in the UK around 1936. In 1941 a multi-layer printed circuit was used in German magnetic influence naval mines
Around 1943 the USA began to use the technology on a large scale to make proximity fuzes for use in World War II. Such fuzes required an electronic circuit that could withstand being fired from a gun, and could be produced in quantity
Motorola was an early leader in bringing the process into consumer electronics, announcing in August 1952 the adoption of plated circuits in home radios after six years of research and a $1M investment
Originally, every electronic component had wire leads, and a PCB had holes drilled for each wire of each component. The component leads were then inserted through the holes and soldered to the copper PCB traces. This method of assembly is called through-hole construction. In 1949, Moe Abramson and Stanislaus F. Danko of the United States Army Signal Corps developed the Auto-Sembly process in which component leads were inserted into a copper foil interconnection
