Spain's most expensive property to open to the public?
If you've ever been lounging by the sea in the lovely resort of Puerto Pollensa, you may well have noticed a rather large estate sitting atop the peninsula jutting out into the sea in a commanding position over the bay. It is in fact an old defensive castle-like structure called La Fortaleza (strength) which now forms part of a large private estate which a few years ago became Spain's most expensive property when it was sold for a reported €40 million.
It is however, a building 'listed' as being of Good Cultural Interest (BIC) by the authorities because of its role in Mallorca's history and in theory should be open to the public on 4 occasions every month. Whilst it has been used for private functions like weddings over the last few years, it has never been available to the general public and so the Mallorcan authorities are now in negotiations with the owner, a British banker, to do this.
It was originally constructed over the six years from 1622 as a defence against raiding Berber and Turkish pirates protecting as it did the Bay of Pollensa. Hardly ever used for this purpose as piratical raids began to subside soon after its construction, La Fortaleza did little until it was bought by an Argentine painter, Roberto Raumagé in 1919 for 45,000 pesetas!
The Bohemian artist renovated the ruined buildings, added a dramatic arcade, an intricate network of terraced gardens, and a huge ornamental pond and used the whole estate as party central, throwing extravagant shindigs which lasted for days and inviting the glitterati of the art world to stay. However, this golden lifestyle all came to an end with the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War when the military, who already had a hydroplane base next door, confiscated the estate.
Even though Raumagé took steps to claim his property back from 1964, he had died before it was eventually returned and his family sold it in 1989 to a British man, John Ogden, who spent a fortune renovating the 232 acre estate with its tower, seven villas and two pools into the condition it is now in. He originally put it onto the market in 2008 for around €100 million, just in time for the property price slump.
Certainly the photos available of La Fortaleza show it as a magnificent estate with immaculately manicured gardens and trees and well worth a visit if it was thrown open to the public. Let's face it, we're all curious about how the other half lives and we could of course ask the eternal question about the owner, 'is he happy?'

Background: Previous observational studies have shown comorbidity between psoriasis and psychological disorders. However, the evidence of the efficacy of psychological interventions, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and other treatments, on psoriasis is still debated.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to systematically review the psychological interventions used in the treatment of psoriasis and to meta-analyze the efficacy of psychological interventions on psoriasis with respect to area and severity reduction.
Materials and methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted. PubMed, Web of Science, EMbase, and major Chinese academic journal databases were searched for articles published before January 2018. Studies of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that applied psychological interventions in the treatment of psoriasis and used area and severity as the outcome measures were meta-analyzed. The pooled mean difference between groups was estimated using either fixed-effects models or random-effects models in the presence of heterogeneity. Subgroup analysis was performed by method of intervention and severity of psoriasis.
Results: Out of the 4,152 potentially relevant studies, 8 RCTs were included. The pooled mean difference was –1.36 (95% CI: –2.52 to –0.19; P=0.02). The pooled estimate was –1.80 (95% CI: –2.57 to –1.03; P<0.001) for CBT intervention and was –0.70 (95% CI: –2.39 to 0.99; P=0.42) for non-CBT intervention. The pooled estimates for mild and moderate-to-severe psoriasis were –1.95 (95% CI: –3.91 to 0.00; P=0.05) and –0.61 (95% CI: –1.61 to 0.38; P=0.23), respectively.
Conclusion: CBT is effective in the treatment of psoriasis in terms of area and severity reduction. Systemic treatment does not further enhance the efficacy of CBT. The effect of the psychological intervention is stronger in patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis.
Keywords: psoriasis, psychological intervention, cognitive behavioral therapy, randomized controlled trial, meta-analysis

The ITC Grand Chola is back with a bang on social media. The luxury hotel situated in the centre of Chennai, has launched 'Glimpse of Paradise' for the discerning photographer in you. At the core, Glimpse of Paradise is a photo feature contest aimed at providing the online audience with a sneak preview of what the hotel has to offer through user generated photography. From the initial group of submissions made, the jury will select the best 3 who would then win an all-expenses paid trip to the majestic ITC Grand Chola, to indulge in its sights and sounds and capture its splendour through their lens.
In Phase 1 of the Glimpse of Paradise, one needs to share photographs that have been clicked by them under the themes of cultural heritage, architecture and artistry, serene vistas, culinary extravagance or any fleeting moment of magnificence and luxury. In Phase 2, these photographers will be invited to the Grand Chola to capture and share their individual experiences through rich imagery on the Glimpse of Paradise website.
Glimpse of Paradise
A dedicated microsite hosts the contest, which is a delight to the eyes. The home page is basically divided into 4 categories – 'The contest' which explains about the idea of the contest, 'Grand Gallery' which houses all the user submissions, 'Upload now' where you get the submission form and 'ITC Grand Chola' which leads to its website.
Gallery is an array of uploaded photos, which can be liked, and shared on Facebook or Twitter.
You need to sign in through your Facebook or Twitter login to participate. There is a provision to upload 5 pictures each from your social logins of Facebook and Twitter, thus making it a maximum of 10 pictures for an individual submission. Every picture needs to have a caption describing it. To increase chances of being selected, ask your friends and family to like your photo submissions on the website.
Besides, if you are a photography enthusiast and have a website to showcase your portfolio, there is a provision to share its link on the form. This will also be taken into consideration for the Phase 1 shortlisting. You can also mention if you have a DSLR or a smartphone and what model/make it is.
A glimpse of paradise?
Contests around user-generated content although passé, still manage to attract crowds. Storytelling has stepped up with visuals taking a larger mindspace. Glimpse of Paradise seeks to capture that impulsive urge in most of us to capture a moment of grandeur, and create a digital chatter at the same time. Enabling the community to display their shots on the site, helps create a bond with them. And, above all, giving a chance to the best 3 photographers to capture the splendor of the luxury hotel, is a cool idea; one that works out better than hiring a professional photographer!
An app on the brand's Facebook page also leads one to the microsite, after they 'like' the page, thus helping to build its community.
The ITC Grand Chola made its mark as a social savvy brand right from its launch late last year. The luxury hotel had launched 'Tweets for Treats', where contestants needed to click, share or tweet to win a treat. These treats could be anything from gourmet experiences, spa sojourns to complete surprises at the hotel.
Glimpse of Paradise does manage to create a buzz, however, it needs to be moderated as all contests with user-generated content need to be. I uploaded a photograph which went straight to the gallery, whereas I expected it to be sent for moderation before being put up on it.
Else, it is going good and will go a long way in building the visual imagery of a brand by the community. What are your views?

Following a New York Times report that Deutsche Bank had flagged his transactions for possible money laundering (and then let the matter die), President Donald Trump launched into an early morning Twitter tirade on Monday to let the public know that:
1) Everything is fine.
2) He is very, very rich.
3) Fake news???
4) Seriously, everything is FINE.
G/O Media may get a commission
Despite Trump's insistence that "banks have always been available to me," Times finance editor David Enrich noted that Trump's abysmal history of financial mismanagement left him a virtual pariah amongst lenders, with only Deutsche Bank willing to gamble on the president, in the hopes of making inroads in the U.S.
It's only Monday morning.

So it goes in Nashville: you pay your dues by putting pen to paper, and hope someone turns your song into a smash hit. Steven Lee Olsen's been lucky to have this magic happen for Country talent like The Judds, Craig Morgan, and Keith Urban. Better yet, soon he'll appear in Nashville at a special gig supporting Jason Aldean.
Ticketmaster had a chance to chat with Olsen as he begins to build his very own career in his own spotlight as a performer. Hopefully he'll be coming to a city near you soon – and in the meantime, his latest album Timing Is Everything is available Friday, November 9th for purchase and streaming.
The Ticketmaster 10 with Steven Lee Olsen
1. What's the first song you learned to play and why?
SLO: A terrible rendition of "Stairway to Heaven" because it was the only thing my uncle knew how to play.
2. What's your favorite memory attending a show and why?

7. What's your dream collaboration? Why do you want to work with that person?

The Value of Creativity is Being Constantly Undermined
A huge amount of research has gone into writing this series of blogs on helping you realise the true value of your time as a creative professional.
There are two major problems in the creative industry that have spurred this series:
- The tremendous devaluing of creative services that has been snowballing over the last century
- The general lack of confidence most creative professionals seem to have when putting a price on their time, often feeling the need to offer discounts or low day rates to compete.
These are interlinked like two sides of one coin; I will explore them briefly before going into some of my insights into how to tackle them.
My background is in project management in advertising and a huge part of my purpose was listening to and supporting creatives as they strove to put true value on their efforts both internally to other departments and also to clients. I worked alongside creative directors to spell out why projects take the time they do and cost the price they cost as well as tackling some of the fundamental questions being constantly fired out by clients as to why there needed to be a creative process at all. Even if you work with very switched on, innovative or understanding clients, team members or third parties you'll rarely be able to go from beginning to end in a project without encountering some resistance to the worth of the creative service you are offering.
"Surely we don't need a second phase of development after the first – won't we have ironed out all the issues by that point?"
"We're working to quite tight budgets here, are there any phases that can be reduced? How about the concept phase?"
Devaluing creative services is so ingrained in our culture, we've been collectively stoking the fire since YouTube started in 2005, Amazon started selling cut price books in 1995 and free pitching became the norm in the ad world of the 1960s. You could argue that giving away cheap or free creatively produced services and products like this has led to an expectation that this will come from all areas of the creative industry, it's a self-perpetuating problem. Its possible the tide may eventually turn as tech advancement cannot replicate the unique value of human conceptual thinking and relationship building we may start to value these attribute more highly. However, that change may come too late for those trying to make ends meet in the creative industry today.
Trying to turn the tide
If we are going to ring in the changes here and now we need to start with ourselves: Seeing ourselves as the unique, irreplaceable innovators and creators who will stand the test of time, rather than small cogs in a big machine whose value is only found in their ability to consistently and unceasingly produce work in a well-oiled manner.
"Our people have always been our greatest asset. Yet some in our industry have placed far too much emphasis on efficiency, tools and process, and forgotten that all great businesses thrive on imagination, lateral thinking and white-space hunters." Troy Ruhanen, writing in ADWEEK
This is a battle that large agencies need to fight but it is also the battleground of small businesses and sole traders; you too need to be ambassadors of creative value. It takes a lot of effort to turn the tide of culture but as you do it you'll start to spot the people who have actually been yearning for partners and services that are speaking their language and putting value on the things that really matter to them. So how does one go about being an ambassador of true creative value when we are so regularly being pulled in the opposite direction by our competitors?
In this series we'll be focusing on how you, as a creative professional, value your own time and work and then move on to thinking about how you can sell that value to others. Here's how that is going to look:
- The True Value of Creativity is Being Undermined (see above!)
- Measure your time in order to understand it, not as a way of tightening the straight-jacket!
- Believe in your worth – re-educating yourself of the value of your creativity
- Explaining your value to others – rethinking networking and pitching
Come back next week for Part 2 so you can learn how to start measuring your time in order to understand the value of your creativity!

|This is the article on the manga chapter. For other uses, see Declaration of War (disambiguation).
"Declaration of War" (宣戦, Sensen) is chapter 467 of the original Naruto manga.
Sakura departs from Konoha with Sai, Kiba, and Lee, off to find and speak with Naruto. In the Land of Iron, Tobi sends Sasuke and Karin away. He then tells the Kage that Akatsuki seeks the tailed beasts for the good of the world. The beasts were created centuries ago when the Sage of the Six Paths split up the immense power of the Ten-Tails. If Tobi recombines the tailed beasts into the original Ten-Tails and seals the Ten-Tails within his body, he will be able to place an illusion over the entire world and end all wars. He asks the Kage to help him achieve this goal by giving him Naruto and Killer B (in doing so revealing that B was never captured). They refuse, so he declares the start of the Fourth Shinobi World War.

My First Semester at FCC Seems so Long Ago
More stories from Albertina Rodriguez Delgado
December 10, 2015
As every Fall semester comes around at Fresno City College –I can't help but think of my first fall semester at FCC.
Being completely new to a school in Fresno, I didn't know what to expect. I was happy and overwhelmed with joy to say the least.
And yet, as every fall semester comes around, I always reminisce about my first time at FCC while I walk around campus. I was always finding things that were interesting:
I once saw a homeless person taking a bath in the main fountain; boy was I in shock, so much that I couldn't help but keep my eyes on him. Don't ask why I couldn't look away, because I wouldn't know the answer.
Another time, I was sitting on a bench with my roommate, when I looked to my side and saw an open unused condom on top of a fountain drink. After seeing that, I began to look at the college in a different light.
I loved meeting new people while hanging around inside the library to avoid freezing to death.
I also learned a very important lesson my first semester here– to avoid taking night classes if I can. When I was registering for my classes, the idea of having a night class seemed so cool, that I had to try it out. I ended up having three night classes that semester, and they were hell.
I didn't take into account that I would be riding the bus from FCC to Fresno State every other day, when I didn't have a ride back home. And taking the Fresno bus at night is probably scarier than being in a haunted house.
I wouldn't have believed myself if someone had told me that I would be writing for the Rampage. For one, I hated it when people read what I wrote for my English classes. I didn't feel confident in my writing. And also, I didn't think I would be this involved while going to school.
My plan was to get through school, and there was no time to be involved.
With every scent that the fall brings–I always have a memory attached to it. Both good and bad. And with every fall semester, I was always in a new apartment.
And of course, those throwback songs that either play on the radio, or on your phone–have so many memories attached to them that play with every chorus–you can't help but tear up or smile of joy.
For me, a couple of songs can play and I can remember my entire first semester here, filled with both good and bad memories.

Unlike a lot of Brooklyn voters, I didn't face any problems voting in last Tuesday's Democratic primary -- for me, things started to get surreal after I left the polls.
What happened was this: After voting for Bernie Sanders at the polling station inside the Brooklyn Museum, I noticed a man with a video camera and a woman with a microphone milling around outside. I approached them, asking them if they were journalists. The woman, who had a Russian accent, said that she worked for "international TV" and asked me if I had anything to say. I couldn't really think of any grand statements to make, so they asked me who I voted for, and I said, "Bernie."
"That's too bad," the woman with the microphone said, "because we are looking for supporters of Donald Trump."
"I could pretend!" I offered. Much to my surprise, the woman said, "Great!" and her companion started filming me.
Why did I, a Bernie Sanders fan, pretend to be a Trump voter for a foreign media outlet? To be honest, I mostly just wanted to appear on TV, which is something I have always dreamed of. But the prank aspect of it appealed to me, too: I was raised by Andy Kaufman fans who may have unwittingly taught me that pulling the wool over the eyes of the media (like Andy did in his infamous appearances with Jerry Lawler on the David Letterman show) is one of the highest virtues. But the difference between my situation and those of some of history's great guerilla satirists is that the journalist I talked to knew I was lying when she interviewed me.
After I voiced my preference for Trump and was asked why I felt that way, I found myself in a quandary: How could I come up with a reason to be pro-Trump that wouldn't also leave indelible videotaped evidence of myself as a racist? In an instant, I came up with the idea of voting for him because I liked "The Apprentice," which is, of course, ludicrous, but not without precedent in a country that has elected Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger to higher office. I continued by stammering on about how his experience as a real estate developer meant that he would be able to really improve America's economy and help get this country back on track. I was pleased with myself, that I managed to say the exact opposite of what I really believed without coming across as a horrendous bigot.
Still, I didn't want my name attached to these ideas, so when the reporter asked me to identify myself, I invoked my mother's maiden name, to come up with the pseudonym "Steve Conroy." When asked what I do for a living, I faced another improvisational hurdle, since my actual profession -- graduate student studying to become an ESL teacher in the New York City public school system -- is so contrary to everything Trump stands for that I knew it would strain credulity to mention it. Inspired by Joe the Plumber from 2008, I said I was an electrician.
After it was all over, I asked the journalist if I did okay. "You are a good actor," she replied in a smiling, ironic tone that put extra emphasis on the last word. I started to walk away, but then I realized that I should get a photo of the TV crew to illustrate the Facebook post I knew I would write about this whole incident, so I walked back and took some photos of the reporter and cameraman.
We then chatted a little bit about how Russia's just about the only country that wants Trump to become president and the reporter pointed out that it makes sense, since Trump is one of the only pro-Putin politicians around. I pointed out that the candidate I actually preferred, Bernie Sanders, would probably be "the Pussy Riot candidate," which provoked some laughter from the Russians. I offered to re-do the interview with them if they wanted one with less stammering and awkward pauses, but the reporter again complimented my "acting" and said it would work fine.
The fact that these TV journalists were so willing to go along with that they knew was a prank and pass it off as reality was, of course, totally insane from an ethical point of view. I acknowledged as much when I wrote the comment "#russianjournalismethics" on the Facebook post I put up a few minutes after the interaction ended.
The whole affair was so patently farcical that I didn't think I would ever actually end up on TV. In fact, I didn't even know how I could check if I did make it on the air, since I don't speak Russian, I didn't know the name of the TV station involved, and I have no clue how to type in Cyrillic. So imagine my surprise when a Russian-American friend of mine found the news story featuring my interview on the website of St. Petersburg's Channel 5 the next day! There I was, saying "Donald Trump all the way!" in English before the voice dubbing me into Russian drowned me out. According to a Russian-speaking friend, what my Russian self said was: "Donald Trump -- no question. He's awesome as a showman, and I've loved watching him on TV. He's a good developer and knows how to handle money. He's the only one who'll make America even greater." Pretty accurate, all things considered!
Some Russian bloggers found my Facebook post where I explained the whole thing and wrote about it in Russian, which led to a curious non-denial by the TV station, as reported in a blog: "The person who introduced himself to Channel Five journalist Nina Vishneva as Steve Conroy voluntarily spoke to the news show 'Right Now' and expressed his support for Donald Trump. The comments he made to the camera appeared unchanged in the segment." It's true that I never gave them my real name, but what's not mentioned is that they knew my support for Donald Trump was a total lie, or, as they said, "acting."
Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined a week ago that my willingness to say anything to get on TV would end up exposing the shady practices of Russian TV news on a blog called "Noodle Remover" -- but now that it's happened, I gotta say that I feel pretty satisfied. I'm following every new blog post about it with avid interest and bugging my Russian-speaking friends to translate it all. I've gotten way more attention from this than anything else I've ever posted on Facebook, and now I'm even getting friend requests from random people in Azerbaijan. Now if I could just figure out a way to pull the same prank on the American media.

Sula Part 2 Response
In the second part of Sula, Sula returns to the Bottom and is accompanied by a "plague of robins". Her expensive clothes gets her old neighbors attention. She visits Eva and Eva criticizes her for remaining unmarried. Sula gets mad and tells Eva to shut up. She says that Eva's decision to cut off her own leg in order to collect insurance does not give her the right to control other people's lives. Eva responds by saying that was a bad daughter, Sula accuses her of murdering Plum. Eva reminds Sula that she watched Hannah burn to death. Sula threatens to kill Eva in the same way Eva killed Plum. Eva is so frightened that she keeps her door locked at night.
Later Sula becomes Eva's guardian and commits her to a nursing home, shocking the entire community. Sula's dislike for Eva is so extreme, which is evident in everything she does concerning Eva. The people in the neighborhood come to a conclusion that Sula is evil, although Sula tells Nel that she put Eva in a home because she was afraid of her. Sula telling Nel this is interesting because she is trying to cover up her hate by telling others that Eva is evil and scary. Sula and Nel spend more time together. Jude returns home and complains to Nel about some small things at his jobs that he dislikes. Sula teases him, then he comments that her birthmark looks like a snake. This leads to an affair. Nel finds out about the affair by stumbling on Sula and Jude having sex, Jude abandons Nel and their children. Nel is hurt by the affair between her husband and her best friend. It is significant how sometimes the closest people to you hurt you the most.
The community concludes that the birthmark over Sula's eye represents Hannah's ashes. They are incredibly surprised that she slept with white men. The people in the neighborhood blame Sula for random accidents. Like when Mr. Finley chokes to death on a chicken bone when he sees Sula. Also when Teapot falls off Sula's porch accidentally, Teapot's mother accuses Sula of pushing him. It is said that Sula has

A fun take on strange non-Newtonian putty. This snow white putty is sometimes a solid that can be stretched and bounced like rubber, torn and ripped like paper, and sometimes a liquid. Mould and sculpt your crisp white putty into a snowman, and dress him up with all the included snowman parts. Enjoy your cute snowman for some-time, and then watch him melt away under the power of gravity. He's just like a real snowman!
Age: 4+ with adult supervision.
What You Get
70 grams of white putty, plastic snowman parts (eyes, carrot nose, stick arms, top hat and tie). Keep away from fabric and hair, putty does stick. In the event the putty sticks to fabric, WD40 may help.
How does it work
Melting Snowman putty, just like all putty, is a non-Newtonian solid. This means that it doesn't fit neatly into any one of Isaac Newton's three common states of matter: solid, liquid or gas. Instead, sometimes putty exhibits properties of a solid, and at other times it behaves more like a liquid. Apply a sudden, strong force and putty feels hard like a solid, or just let it sit on a flat surface for a while and it spreads out like a liquid. Strange, melting matter! And an excellent stocking filler!
- The three common states of matter and their properties - solid, liquid and gas.
- Non-Newtonian matter. Weird matter that doesn't follow Isaac Newton's laws.

Healthy Skin Naturally
Monday September 29, 2008see more by jen
I have to warn you, I am going to sound like an infomercial because of how much I love this skin care line! I have always had problem skin, since I was a teenager. I thought it would get better in my 20's and 30's, but no such luck. In fact, my skin was the worst ever during my pregnancy. Pregnancy glow – yeah right! I have tried so many products over the last 20 years…both drugstore and fancy-schmancy expensive. Nothing worked for me.

Clear-Up Now! Trio to the rescue: $89 (this is what I use!)
This system of cleanser, toner and repair lotion provides a simple system for clearing the problem.
Prevention Product Recommendations: Oak Cleanser, Clear Up Scrub, Clear Up Mask, Moisture Balance.

For our last Let's Bake Inverness meeting of 2015, we thought we'd deviate from the norm and instead of doing a Christmas theme in December, suggest a non-festive theme!
One of our members made the suggestion of baking from our favourite recipe book. For me it's too hard to choose from, so I went with a book that I've only made a couple of recipes, but have turned out really well each time (and it shares the baking club love a little too!).
The book I chose was The Clandestine Cake Club Cookbook, and after flicking through between recipes, I decided to make a Sour Cream Coffee Cake.
Despite its name, the cake has no coffee in because it is intended to be eaten with coffee, which is a tradition coming from the USA.
It does however, have lots of nuts, so unfortunately Mr B was not privy to a taste. You can find the original recipe here, though the recipe in the book uses a bundt tin, which I think makes it look a bit more fancy, but was not without its stresses, as I had to make a second cake after my first attempt got stuck in the tin! (What could be salvaged was taken to the office, as although it wasn't pretty, it did still taste great!). I will never forget to grease and flour a bundt tin again!

You are here: The Next Generation
Since 2012 we have highlighted promising practice and effective solutions for those with multiple complex needs and worked directly with PCCs and their staff to help implement those solutions.
Working closely with the Transition to Adulthood Alliance we have campaigned to raise understanding and awareness of the problems faced by The Revolving Doors group and young adults in contact with the criminal justice system.
The role of the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC), not least the 'and crime' element, offers the opportunity to improve outcomes for people stuck in the cycle of crisis and crime. PCCs can't do this on their own however – and need to work with partners from across a range of sectors to make a positive difference.
A new opportunity for creativity
The PCC's responsibility for wider crime reduction in their area (the 'and crime' part of their title) provides an opportunity to work creatively at a local level, encouraging and strengthening partnerships, linking with health and other community-based services and tackling the underlying causes of crime and reoffending.
The role of the PCC is to represent the voice of the people and to hold the police to account
They are important local decision makers with a broader remit than the Police Authorities that they replaced. They are responsible for:
- Setting local policing priorities through a police and crime plan
- Holding the Chief Constable to account
- Working in partnership to prevent and reduce crime and improve community safety
- Setting the local policing and community safety budget
- Engaging with their local community
2019 - The Next Generation Project
Next Generation follows on our research publication that shows that childhoods that lead to a revolving door of crisis and crime have a typical pattern: exceptional levels of abuse, neglect, household disruption, exposure to community violence, and poverty so bad that even three meals a day are not guaranteed.
We will support PCCs in developing practical answers to the combination of Adverse Childhood Experiences, poverty and disadvantage for young adults. Young adults in the 18-25 age group make up less than 10% of the general population but account for more than a third of the probation service's caseload and a third of those sentenced to prison every year. They are also the group more likely to grow out of crime if given the right chances.
Our aim is to create opportunities for young adults where they are appropriate diverted from the criminal justice system and prevent the next generation of young adults from entering the revolving door of crisis and crime.
2016 - The Second Generation Project
2016 saw a second round of elections across England and Wales, with around half of the PCCs elected in 2012 standing down or being replaced.
This cohort – the Second Generation – provides the focus for further work until 2018.
Spotlight on Substance Misuse
Emerging good practice across PCC areas on tackling substance misuse
Spotlight on Violence Against Women and Girls
Emerging good practice on tackling Violence Against Women and Girls commissioned by PCCs
Spotlight on Young Adults
Emerging good practice across PCC areas on Young Adults (18-24) in contact with criminal justice services
Under the Spotlight: Review of Police and Crime Plans
Reviewing police and crime plans for multiple and complex needs, and transition to adulthood
2012 - The First Generation Project
That year saw the election of PCCs in England and Wales – this was First Generation. It represented a major change in the way that policing is run, abolishing the old Police Authorities and replacing them with organisations headed by directly elected PCCs.
In the Revolving Doors Agency's First Generation project we worked closely with PCCs up and down the country.
We helped them to develop a better understanding of people with multiple and complex needs and introduce better service responses to those individuals.

Dirty Dancing actor Patrick Swayze, who announced earlier this year that he had been diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer, has told concerned fans that he is currently responding well to his treatment.
The actor, who had to deny cruel reports spreading on the internet that he had only months to live, has said:
"Thought I'd give you guys a little update. I have been back and forth from New Mexico enjoying the arrival of spring and new baby calves.
He continued:
"In the meantime, I am continuing treatment at Stanford and the great news is I continue to respond well".
However, he has denied rumours that he is taking time off from his treatment to star in the sequel of the cult hit Point Break.
We wish Patrick all the best in his recovery.

The Cambodian Landmine Problem
Cambodia is home to the largest number of amputees in the world. It's impossible to visit the country without seeing amputees – a situation which is only compounded by the lack of availability of prosthetics. Most people are forced to do with ill fitting or homemade devices, or they simply go without. Although I had seen many of these amputees in the entrances to the Angkor temples, it wasn't until my visit to the Cambodia Land Mine Museum, near Siem Reap, that I fully understood the reasons and implications. Most if not all of these amputees were victims of landmines left over from the time of the Khmer Rouge - over thirty years ago. One thing about the the mines used in Cambodia is that most of them are designed to maim not kill. The though being that more resources are used for first aid on injured soldiers.
The Cambodia Land Mine Museum is run by Aki Ra, a Cambodian and former child soldier who has dedicated his life to helping remove mines and help the victims. His story is really interesting and I recommend everyone read about him.
In addition to educating people about the horrors of landmines, the museum also serves as a home to children who have lost limbs to landmine accidents. These children are given room, board and an education. Most victims of landmines have no other option than to beg – Aki Ra offers these children another possibility.
The Ottawa Treaty
The museum does a good job of providing information about the Ottawa Treaty. This treaty works to ban the use of anti-personnel mines across the world. So far 157 countries have participated in the treaty – one notable exception? The US. The map below shows the countries who have signed in blue.
|Countries that have signed the Ottawa Treaty
As you can see, the US is in …interesting company. So whats the deal? It seems that the main reason that the US isn't signing is because the treaty does not provide for a "Korea Exception." What this basically means is that the DMZ between North Korea and South Korea is filled with mines that the US would be required to clear if they were to sign the treaty. The US feels that these mines are necessary in protecting South Korea and preventing aggression for North Korea.
|Deactivated mines on display
So what exactly does the treaty entail? Those countries that sign the treaty are required to 1) stop using this time of mine (note that other types of mines are still allowable under this treaty) and 2) destroy any stockpiles of mines they posses. The treaty also works to help those countries effected by previous mine placement to clear these mines. Unfortunately because the placement of most mines isn't documented this task can be huge.
Landmine Detection and Removal
Landmines can remain active for over half a century after they are placed. Long forgotten landmines often claim victims long after the war has ended. Organizations and people such as Aki Ra work to mark and remove these minds to help protect the people living the the nearby areas. The landmine removal process is time consuming, expensive and dangerous. Mines be either deactivated or detonated before they can be removed and both of these processes has the potential to kill or injure.
|Illustration of safe stepping points when detecting landmines
The Cambodia countryside is filled with mines. In the thirty plus years since the the Khmer Rouge, many of these areas have been cleaned up but some experts estimate that there could be as many as 6 million still remaining in Camboida. Signs like the one in the picture below are not uncommon. In areas that are thought to be heavily populated with mines, such as the city of Battambang, its recommended that people don't leave the well marked paths for any reason, even for calls of nature. As one guide book put it – better to loose your modesty than a leg.
|Mine Warning in Battambang, Cambodia
In my recent post about the War in Bosnia and Herzegovina I touched on the landmine situation in Sarajevo. During the tour given to us by our local hostel owner, we saw several areas still thought to contain landmines. Unlike some of the mines in Cambodia, these mines are often marked with pieces of yellow tape tied to a tree or sticks. As you can imagine, this isn't the most permanent marker and our guide actually pointed out an area that had been previously marked and now the tape had been removed. This meant that people who weren't as familiar with the area would be in danger of stumbling into the mine area.

The easiest way to cease efflorescence is to halt the advancement of water vapor via the partitions and into your home. One excellent approach to take action is by using a concrete sealant on the inside, thereby preventing it from making its way through into your private home. This has the additional benefit of creating a vapor barrier that may seal away water vapor that would in any other case contribute to the indoor humidity ranges of your under grade areas.
