Mr Constanza wrote in a Christmas card: When I said I loved you I meant

Mr Constanza wrote in a Christmas card: “When I said I loved you I meant it.” But she sent it back, writing: “When I said keep away from me, I meant it.”Then, she said, he started following her home from work “He had this.. smirk like he knew how scared he was making me. A “smirking” stalker made a young woman ill with stress after bombarding her with 800 letters, a jury heard yesterday. Miss Wilson said they had spoken only on the telephone yet he turned up and introduced himself at an evening class she attended. Days later, he stopped her in the street near her home and asked her out. The obsessed Italian, Gaetona Constanza, 31, also made hundreds of silent phone calls to 21-year-old Louise Wilson, Luton Crown Court was told.
Miss Wilson’s front door was daubed with paint and her car tyres were slashed during his 19-month campaign to get her to go out with him, said Amjad Malik, for the prosecution.Mr Constanza’s obsession began when he and Miss Wilson both worked at Vauxhall Motors in Luton.

They then used a virtual image of the sculpture superimposed on to the screen design in order to “trace” the design and paint on to the actual sculpture.Ms Jackson said the technology had ensured that the finished product was “as accurate as it’s going to get”.The animation work would have cost the Tate pounds 60,000 (the company did not charge full rate) and the gallery is “very interested” in using it again.The sculpture will go on display in Paris on 4 June before returning to its owner, Kelvingrove gallery in Glasgow.. eventually we managed to locate three photographs.”Two conservators at the Tate Gallery, in London, were then asked to restore the work to its original design and colours.Tessa Jackson, one of the conservators, said they had been close to giving up when they met Rob Potter, director of a computer animation company, Channel 20-20.Using the photographs, Channel 20-20 produced a three-dimensional image from which they were able to piece together the original design. After it was chosen for A Century of British Sculpture, due to open in June in Paris, conservators found that there were few records of how it had originally looked.”This is actually a very common problem,” said Caroline Douglas, the British Council’s exhibitions officer “But. Once it was predicted that computer animation would make fine art redundant. Now that same technology looks like ensuring that works of art are preserved for eternity. A work by the leading British sculptor Sir Eduardo Paolozzi has recently been restored to its original form using a mixture of high-level graphics and virtual reality and conservators are predicting that similar restorations will follow.
Hamlet in a Japanese Manner, a three-part brightly coloured aluminium sculpture, was first shown in 1966 and had since been stripped down to its aluminium parts.

Until recently, mechanical hearts were intended only as a bridge to maintain patients until a donor organ became available.. The mechanical heart was removed after a remarkable recovery to Mr Goodman’s own heart with bleeding around the device becoming a cause for concern.”Mr Goodman’s operation had offered new hope to thousands of people with heart disease who are on the transplant waiting list. “Benefits of [the cuts] will be improved customer service and reduced pressure on staff.”. A 64-year-old man who was the first patient in the world to receive a permanent electric heart, has died, less than 36 hours after it was removed from his body. Tests had shown that Abel Goodman’s own heart had made a “remarkable recovery” since the operation to implant the heart in October 1995, and surgeons decided to remove the battery-powered mechanical device in a five-hour operation on Saturday because of concern about localised bleeding.
Mr Goodman, who suffered from heart failure, died yesterday after developing a “sudden and unpredictable” change in heart rhythm and could not be resuscitated, the John Radcliffe Hospital, in Oxford, said.Stephen Westaby, the heart surgeon who operated on Mr Goodman, said: “Mr Goodman had progressed well over the 24 hours since the operation to remove the mechanical heart.

“Obviously, with a 25-per-cent productivity improvement we will have fewer jobs in the long term,” says one of the briefing notes.If asked if the cuts will mean that staff in Department of Social Security offices will come under pressure and “will affect both the quality of work and attitude to customers”, managers are instructed to say the overall aim is to simplify processes involved in handling claims. We aim to build on the achievements and principles of the One Stop project in the future development of customer service”, it says.Final decisions on which offices will shut and on the number of jobs to go have not yet been taken. While the administration budget for 1996-97, at pounds 2.58bn, is pounds 101m higher than that of the previous financial year, the cost of introducing the new Jobseeker’s Allowance and the Security and Control Programme – the fraud crackdown – is put at pounds 397m.Above and beyond that net reduction, staff will be told, the agency is committed to “a 25-per-cent improvement” in productivity by 1988-89.In his briefing note for managers, ahead of the announcements, Mr Mathison writes: “This will mean that all services will have to be examined – nothing will be exempt.”Claimants with queries will have to start paying for their phone calls, but the fraud hotline, for members of the public informing on people they suspect of claiming benefit fraudulently, will be continued.In a “questions and answers” briefing document, managers are told to respond to queries on why the fraud hotline is being kept, yet benefit information via Freeline is being stopped, with the answer: “Fraud hotline is a specific and successful part of our Security programme aimed at reducing the levels of fraud and making savings in benefit expenditure.”Another briefing note for managers warns, “there must be a question over small offices where alternative services are available within reasonable distance”.The questions and answers document instructs managers to deny that the much-trumpeted “One Stop” service has been abandoned, “rather we are looking for better ways to deliver it. Claimants will no longer receive “money advice”, telling them how to manage their finances, and their appeals procedure will be simplified.The cuts will also slash 50 per cent from budgets for district information officers, and management and personnel budgets will be heavily cut.Peter Mathison, chief executive of the agency, will tell staff that the aim is to secure savings of pounds 200m in the current financial year.

Freeline, the agency freephone service which deals with 2.5 million claimants’ inquiries annually will be scrapped, and out-of-hours emergency services abolished.The agency, according to the documents, will be divided into 13 areas, instead of the present 20, and local customer surveys will be ended. Documents leaked to the Independent reveal the full impact of the introduction of the Jobseeker’s Allowance and the drive against benefit fraud on the agency, which each year pays out benefits of pounds 75bn.
The documents show that small offices, which specialise in dealing with claimant inquiries rather than processing applications, will be shut. In the first serial he plays a dying film writer and in the second his disembodied head is revived four centuries on.New dramatic writers are showcased in Talentspotting, a wordplay on Channel 4’s latest film success, Trainspotting.. Social security offices are to close and staff are to lose their jobs as part of a pounds 200m programme of cuts to be announced shortly by the Benefits Agency. He insisted they collaborate on the productions and that the plays be shown on both channels. Potter laboured to complete them before he died in 1994.The four parts of Karaoke will be shown first on BBC1 on Sunday nights from 28 April, with Monday night repeats on Channel 4, while Cold Lazarus will premiere on Channel 4 on Sundays from 26 May, followed by Monday night repeats on BBC1.The two serials are linked by the story of Daniel Feeld, played by Albert Finney.
