Smarter Community Sentences
The Centre for Justice Innovation argues for smarter community sentences which give probation practitioners more powers, freedom and flexibility.
Tags are what WordPress calls keywords. I attach a small number of tags to every post to help people navigate between content with the same keywords. Tags may be people (Robert Buckland, say), organisations (The Howard League, Revolving Doors Agency), themes (women offenders, homelessness) or specific items (heroin, cocaine, ROTL). If you're looking to research a particular issue, they can be invaluable.
The Centre for Justice Innovation argues for smarter community sentences which give probation practitioners more powers, freedom and flexibility.
Parliamentary briefing on the policy consideration of non-custodial sentences.
What sentences do our courts pass? What do people do to get sentence to custody, and how long do they get?
A graphic look at the decline of the community sentence over the last decade.
The custody rate for indictable offences has increased since March 2011, from 24% to 32%.
Centre for Justice Innovation finds that a 22% drop in the use of PSRs has resulted into a big fall in the number of community sentences.
Why have community sentences fallen sharply (by 24%) in England and Wales over the last decade but increased by 18% in Scotland?
Crest Advisory analyses the decline & fall of community sentences with Magistrates' lack of information and confidence in them a key problem, exacerbated by TR.
Despite an increase in the number of women sentenced in English & Welsh courts between 2011-2015, the number of community sentences fell by 28%.
Probation inspectors' very critical assessment of new flexible rehabilitation activity requirements, saying less rehabilitation is being done under new system.
The authors noted that assessment of some needs (particularly "Attitudes" and education and training) tended to be more accurate later in the community sentence, when the Offender Manager had developed a relationship with the person they were supervising. Similarly, offenders' feedback on their Community Order was particularly positive when they perceived that the Offender Manager understood their needs. There seem to be two key lessons to be drawn from this research for those planning new models of service delivery…

Research in my group is concerned with developing innovative new routes to technologically important inorganic materials. We have a strong interest in the synthesis and characterisation of novel molecular precursors for use in the deposition of thin films of materials especially metal oxides and nitrides. The aim is to develop new highly volatile, non-toxic precursors, which are then used to grown thin films. The group is involved in research in Aerosol Assisted Chemical Vapour Deposition (AACVD) including scale up development for industrial applications and combinatorial CVD. The development of transparent conducting oxides, photocatalysts and superhydrophobic paints are of key interest.
I have greatly benefitted from the highly supportive environment in the Department for those wishing to work flexibly and I generally work one day a week from home. I particularly valued this in 2010 when going through a divorce and managing as a single parent (I now have a very supportive partner which has helped a great deal!). Being able to work flexibly, whether at weekends or evenings, enabled me to cover family commitments and so I do not feel that I have missed out on any of my children's milestone. One bonus has been that I go into their schools to give lecture demonstrations and help with Science days! Support from my postdocs has helped me maintain a very active research group.

If you are an affiliate marketer who desires to make a comfy living from referring your prospects to other people's item or service for decent commissions, then you need to take into account developing your personal mailing list.
Your on-line enterprise program really should reflect company objectives. Goals are only worthy of reaching when we write them down and location them somewhere that we can acknowledge them every day. Company goals need to include brief term, medium term, and lengthy term business goals. As you attain milestones you will commence to see your online small business success revealing itself to you correct prior to your quite eyes.
Some merchants run their own (in-property) affiliate programs employing committed application, while other folks use third-celebration intermediaries to track targeted traffic or sales that are referred from affiliates. There are two various forms of affiliate management strategies applied by merchants: standalone computer software or hosted solutions , commonly known as affiliate networks. Payouts to affiliates or publishers can be made by the networks on behalf of the merchant, by the network, consolidated across all merchants where the publisher has a partnership with and earned commissions or straight by the merchant itself.
Know conversation ration per hit. With this you will be capable to know how substantially site visitors required to make sale for your affiliate program. This is primarily based on typical quantity of hits to a banner or text likes it takes to create a sale primarily based on all affiliate statistics. Each program is some different. some challenge their checks once in a month, some problem twice or some situation every single quarter. so, select that one particular with which you are comfy.
Its management is just as confident that the sale will not impact Neverblue's capability to meet its affiliates' demands in any way. Whilst this company tends to inspire higher self-assurance amongst affiliates, you are going to have to make a decision regardless of whether to jump in now or wait a while to see how things go right after the sale.

Indian restaurant cursed with 'Entourage' poster on wall for eternity
The India Castle in Cambridge, Massachusetts has the atmosphere of a typical Indian restaurant with one exception — an Entourage poster.
The picture of Vince Chase and his gang huddled around drinks is an interruption to the otherwise authentic decor of the room, and owner Rabhbir Singh knows it.
Boston.com reported that Singh originally denied having a poster in the restaurant because he did not know what Entourage was.
He explained that the poster, which is locked in a frame near the front of the restaurant, has "been here forever."
Years ago, he made a deal with a local TV station that they could come change the poster that is locked in the frame every two weeks and in return Singh would be paid.
Two weeks came and went, and so did the next two weeks, on and on for 11 years. The frame quit lighting up and Entourage went off the air, but no one ever returned to change the original poster.
Singh has neither the key to the frame nor plans to see the Entourage movie, which is currently in theaters.

I will check - maybe some logic broken with relative path. Reference file exists in your file system?
As expected - there no option for loading hintPath, i added it (https://github.com/consulo/consulo-msbuild/commit/b3070b186397d28b3c9c8216a267baad483113a3)
Now - you need update Consulo
Referenced files exists and now after update it's working perfect
Hello, Valery.
I have somewhat similar issue with a solution imported from Visual Studio 2015. It contains two project, both are .NET Framework console applications (the main application and NUnit tests for it). I installed latest nightly build. The code is highligted normally, so both runtime and NuGet dependencies are resolved well. BUT I am not able to build and run it, because of these two problems:
I have no idea how to configure target framework and language level for the project, because everything is grey on Extension tab of module settings.
And as a result of it (as I guess), I cannot create a run configuration to run the project: in Edit configurations window , when I press on a plus sign, .NET application type is collapsed under "6 more items (irrelevant)"
And indeed, even if I still try to create such run configuration, there is nothing to choose in Module dropdown box.
Do you have any idea, what can be the problem?
Hello. It's known defect - i'm only implemented project importing. Compiling + Running planned - but since there no attention to this plugin, it's was delayed.
Looks like time to implement this logic.
(in interface you see option for run application for .NET but only for Consulo-based projects, not MSBuild)
Thanks for a quick reply!
Looks like time to implement this logic.
Yes, it would be highly appreciated! Our application is client-server, and for client side (Unity) we can use Consulo nicely, but for server we stumble upon that issue. If there is a task in bug-tracker to vote for, please give a link
created issue https://github.com/consulo/consulo-msbuild/issues/11
Can you say - what framework you are using ? (MS .NET or Mono)
@VISTALL Actually both, with Mono slightly more frequently. But I'm currently on Windows, so this is not very important for me which one to use.
@NIA they have different sdks (and running & debugging) which i need to support (i'm already have ms&mono running & debug in another project system).
It's just a refinement - need me implement Mono (or i can ignore)
It's just a refinement - need me implement Mono (or i can ignore)
I think yes you can ignore by now As for me personally, Mono is not urgent.

Smoking ban in cars
The minister for Health Dr James Reilly brought forward a very courageous and admirable proposal. He wants to ban smoking in cars when children are present and hopes to bring forward legislation early next year.
He described it as "irresponsible" for parents to smoke in the presence of children. However he stressed that he doesn't want to introduce a blanket ban on smoking in the car.
As ex-smokers we know what it's like if you feel the urge to have a cigarette. We gave up smoking before we had our children. Even in our wildest dreams we could not image exposing our children to a small confined space filled with cigarette smoke.
Unfortunately there are still plenty of people out there who don't see this as a problem.
The British Lung Foundation research has found that more than half (51%) of 8 to 15 year old children have been exposed to cigarette smoke when confined in a car.
This is worrying given that smoking just one cigarette in a car, even with the window open, creates a greater concentration of second-hand smoke than a whole evening's smoking in a pub.
This type of ban is already in force in several parts of Australia, Canada and the US. It is under consideration in many other countries like Cyprus, the Netherlands and South Africa. As you can see from the poster a similar initiative is going on in the UK since the end of 2010.
Forest Eireann, which represents the tobacco industry, has described the proposal as over the top and unnecessary. It said that smokers were responsible people and would not light up in cars where children are present.
As this is true for the vast majority of smokers you can still see the need for this proposal every day in traffic.
This is not a proposal to punish smokers. It should be seen as way to protect our children.
As Irish motorists spend more time than any other European counterpart in their car it is important to raise awareness. Research has proven that passive smoking is the third most preventable cause of death in Ireland, after direct smoking and drinking alcohol.

Ubuntu Pi Flavour Maker (UPFM) is a project to create custom Ubuntu (including derivatives) images for Raspberry Pi 2 Model B. If you already own the board, it's high time you check out the project.
The project has gown around a small script from the Raspberry Pi 2 initiative of Ubuntu Mate project. Now it's a collection of a few scripts and a PPA with necessary software and drivers.
The base is Ubuntu armhf, and the installation procedure uses the regular desktop utilities like
apt-get and
dpkg. As a matter of fact, the look and feel remains the same as the desktop counterparts and the environment remains very familiar.
To make your life easier, custom images for the following flavours are available:
- Lubuntu
- Ubuntu MATE (most features as of now)
- Ubuntu Server (minimal and standard)
- Xubuntu
The following are planned:
- Kubuntu
- Ubuntu Unity
- Ubuntu GNOME
The team recommends using a Class 6 or Class 10 microSDHC card for a well-responsive system.
The steps to generate a custom image are explained in the following presentation video:

"Creativity is the process of having original ideas that have value. It is a process; it's not random."
Ken Robinson
Phase 1: Research, Learn, Listen
Our process begins with getting to know our customers, their business and their market. We ask our clients to begin by taking our New Client Survey, which serves as our template for ensuring we accurately tell their story and meet their objectives. We study the industry, the market, your customers and your competitors/peers. Most importantly, we listen to you.
The information gleaned is incorporated into a written "Project Objective Statement" that guides the following stages.
Phase 2: Analyze, Ideate, Create.
Our creative phase begins with the concept of "Analytical Ideation", a process that harnesses creative energy while maintaining the Project Objective. Every concept generated in this phase must meet specific goals in order to move forward to stage 3
Phase 3: Distill, Refine, Implement
This is where we put it all together. Approved concepts are fleshed out, refined and finally presented to our clients. If revisions are necessary, we double back and run through the phase once more with the additional feedback and recommendations of our clients.
Once all elements are approved, the design is launched.

Washington: Comets are the ancient leftovers of early solar system formation, and not younger fragments resulting from subsequent collisions between other larger bodies, according to a new study of data collected by the Rosetta space probe.
Understanding how and when comets took shape may help determine how exactly they can be used to interpret the formation and early evolution of our solar system.
If comets are primordial, then they could help unveil the properties of the solar nebula from which the Sun, planets and small bodies condensed 4.6 billion years ago, and the processes that transformed our planetary system into the architecture we see today, researchers said.
The alternative hypothesis is that they are younger fragments resulting from collisions between older 'parent' bodies such as icy trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs).
They would then provide insight into the interior of such larger bodies, the collisions that disrupted them, and the process of building new bodies from the remains of older ones.
"Either way, comets have been witness to important solar system evolution events, and this is why we have made these detailed measurements with Rosetta - along with observations of other comets - to find out which scenario is more likely," said Matt Taylor, project scientist European Space Agency's Rosetta which is performing a detailed study of the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P).
The low-density, high-porosity, double-lobed body of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenkoas with its extensive layering, suggests that the lobes accumulated material over time before they merged.
The unusually high porosity of the interior of the nucleus provides the first indication that this growth cannot have been via violent collisions, as these would have compacted the fragile material, researchers said.
Earlier work showed that the head and body were originally separate objects, but the collision that merged them must have been at low speed in order not to destroy both of them.
The fact that both parts have similar layering also tells us that they must have undergone similar evolutionary histories and that survival rates against catastrophic collision must have been high for a significant period of time.
"While larger TNOs in the outer reaches of the solar system appear to have been heated by short-lived radioactive substances, comets don't seem to show similar signs of thermal processing," said Bjorn Davidsson of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology in the US.
"Comets do not appear to display the characteristics expected for collisional rubble piles, which result from the smash-up of large objects like TNOs," said Davidsson.
"Rather, we think they grew gently in the shadow of the TNOs, surviving essentially undamaged for 4.6 billion years," he said.
The study was published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics.

Hemorrhoids are generally defined as swollen veins in the rectal and anal canal. This usual health problem is painful, but not fatal.
Veins can be swollen in the interior of the anal canal to form internal bleeding or hemorrhoids. Also, they can be swollen near the aperture of the anal hole to form external bleeding. You can acquire either kind at the same time. The signs and diagnosis are based on what kind of hemorrhoid you have.
The major cause of hemorrhoids is extreme tension or pressure in the anal and rectal region. Commonly, inner anal tissue is filled with blood to aid with bowel movements. If you put pressure to discard bowels, the tension can cause the anal canal to stretch, tear and be swollen causing hemorrhoids.
Sometimes, hemorrhoids can be caused by diarrhea or constipation. These health conditions can also put extra tension in the anal canal.
Pregnant women are likely to experience hemorrhoids during the last quarter of pregnancy. This is due to the added tension on the blood veins in the thighs. During labor, when a woman is pushing the baby out, hemorrhoid can also occur.
Also, it is noted that obese persons are more likely to get hemorrhoids than those with normal weight.
The most common signs and symptoms of both inner and outer hemorrhoids are:
1. Bleeding during bowel movements. You might observe that your bowels have smeared blood, or the toilet paper is tinted with blood.
2. Prickling sensation in the anal region.
3. Pain in the rectal area.
In inner hemorrhoids, a blood-tinted bowel movement can occur. You can see red smudges of blood on the toilet paper or vivid red blood in the toilet bowl after you discarded your wastes.
Inner hemorrhoids are usually small, inflamed blood veins in the lining of the anal canal. However, they can be sometimes large, slumping veins that lump out of your anus all the time. If you have this kind of hemorrhoid, it can be painful if they lump out and are pressured by the rectal muscles. Pain is experienced if the blood supply to the hemorrhoid is blocked. If you have a sagging hemorrhoid, you can also observe mucus on your stool.
Internal hemorrhoids often are small, swollen veins in the wall of the anal canal. But they can be large, sagging veins that bulge out of the anus all the time. They can be painful if they bulge out and are squeezed by the anal muscles. They may be very painful if the blood supply to the hemorrhoid is cut off. If hemorrhoids bulge out, you also may see mucus on the toilet paper or stool.
On the other hand, external or outer hemorrhoid can also bleed, leading to a rigid painful bulge. This is clinically called as a thrombosed anal vein, or generally a hemorrhoid.
Although hemorrhoid is not fatal, this is a condition which you should not ignore completely. Most hemorrhoids can be a sign of a more serious problem such as cancer of the colon, anus and intestine.

A 33-year-old operative of the Department of State Services, Sadiq Bindawa, in Katsina State has been murdered by suspected kidnappers after collecting N5 million ransom from his friends and relatives.
It was learnt that the late Bindawa was kidnapped last Saturday, September 12, some hours after he arrived Katsina from Abuja where he worked.
According to an eyewitness, the kidnappers were said to have trailed him to his house located behind the Federal Secretariat Complex, Dandagoro area, Katsina around 10.30 p.m.
The kidnappers were said to have first attacked the private security guards at the entrance of the building before they whisked Bindawa off to an unknown place.
The kidnappers were also said to have contacted his family and friends through his phone, demanding N13million ransom.
It was however reduced to N5m but Bindawa's corpse was discovered at Kurfi town on Sunday morning after the payment was made.
"We went to Kurfi on Sunday hoping to pick him as directed but we saw only his corpse with parts of the body riddled with bullets. We reported the incident at the Batagarawa Police Station." a friend said.
However, reacting to the development, Reno Omokri, a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, on Tuesday, condemned the killing of an operative of the Department of State Services, DSS, Sadiq Abdullahi Bindawa in Katsina State by bandits.
Omokri berated President Muhammadu Buhari for the spate of insecurity in the country, following the abduction and murder of Bindawa.
Here is Reno's tweets
A DSS officer was kidnapped and DSS paid ransom. Let this sink in. This is like a pastor that is meant to deliver you from satan begging demons for mercy. They paid, yet the man was killed. Believe it or not, in parts of Nigeria, Nigerians pay taxes to bandits! #BuhariTormentor

WASHINGTON (AFP): US President Donald Trump on Tuesday ordered the creation of "Space Command," a new organisational structure within the Pentagon that will have overall control of military space operations.
The command will be separate from Trump's goal to build an entirely new branch of the military called "Space Force" - but could be a step in that direction.
"I direct the establishment, consistent with United States law, of United States Space Command as a functional Unified Combatant Command," Trump said in a memo to Defense Secretary Defense Jim Mattis.
Speaking at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida's Cape Canaveral, Vice President Mike Pence said the new US Space Command will integrate space capabilities across all branches of the military.
"It will develop the space doctrine, tactics, techniques and procedures that will enable our war fighters to defend our nation in this new era," Pence said.
SpaceCom, as it will inevitably come to be known, will be the Pentagon's 11th combatant command, along with other well-known commands including Central Command and Europe Command.
Trump in June said he wanted to create a "Space Force," which would be an entirely new branch of the military alongside the Navy, Marine Corps, Army and Air Force.
He insists such a move is necessary to tackle vulnerabilities in space and assert US dominance in orbit.
But its creation is not a done deal, as it needs to be approved by Congress, and the concept has met with some skepticism from lawmakers and defense officials wary of the cost and added bureaucracy.
The creation of a new Space Force would also set off a turf war within the Pentagon, particularly with the Air Force, which currently is responsible for most space operations.

By Forrester Research
Special to CNET News.com
December 9, 2003, 11:15AM PT
By Frank E. Gillett and Charles Rutstein, Analysts
In a consolidating IT industry, Hewlett-Packard is charting a path toward the Adaptive Enterprise, its name for a new set of IT and business capabilities that has captured the industry's attention.
Forrester calls this new data center architecture Organic IT, which is computing infrastructure built on cheap, redundant components that automatically share and manage data center computing resources. With all the pieces now falling into place, expect HP to succeed--and to give IBM a run for its money as a strategic supplier of Organic IT.
HP CEO Carly Fiorina believes that:
Only the big will survive. Fiorina argues that tomorrow's IT industry will be dominated by "fewer, more powerful and more profitable firms." While her comments may appear to be simply self-serving, Forrester continues to believe that industry consolidation is inevitable.
HP knows where it's going. Fiorina is charting a path to what she calls the Adaptive Enterprise--which remains a dead ringer for Forrester's Organic IT vision. Our take? Fiorina has the right vision, and has proven her ability to execute under tough circumstances. CIOs should feel very comfortable selecting HP as a strategic technology supplier.
With its Adaptive Enterprise, HP stays in the game with IBM, using a simpler vision and better heterogeneous product support. HP's drive--under the "demand more" tag line--brings together several ideas and technologies emerging from the labs.
HP offers a two-step road map for getting "adaptive." First, measure and assess business agility and, second, architect and integrate with four design principles: simplification, standardization, modularity and integration. The company is backing up that plan with products and services, including:
The Darwin Reference Architecture. Shared across HP's business units, the Darwin Reference Architecture is a vision of how to tie virtualized servers, storage and networks together with applications and business processes. HP's OpenView management software spans the architecture to provide centralized optimization and automation.
Expanded automated management software. The Virtual Server Environment (VSE) brings together HP's disparate products and technologies into a cohesive framework for sharing servers. Meanwhile, the Software Self-Healing Services will deliver improved problem detection, troubleshooting and automation for OpenView by the end of 2003.
Three key HP services. The Agility Assessment Service measures agility on the dimensions of time, range and ease to assess IT support for business needs and then prioritizes solutions. Two other services help apply Adaptive Enterprise design principles to a company's applications or networks.
Why it's good to demand more
The rhetoric is backed by good ideas and products. The agility metrics give HP something to use against IBM's Business Consulting Services, which has an edge in strategy and vertical expertise. And products like the Utility Data Center (UDC) and Workload Manager deliver Organic IT capabilities today, rather than relying on a services-driven approach to building custom solutions.
And those ideas and products offer some heterogeneous capabilities. HP, IBM and Sun all claim support for other vendors' technologies, but HP has backed the claim with support for EMC and Hitachi in products like UDC and OpenView CASA (Continuous Access Storage Appliance), a heterogeneous storage virtualization product. This support of proprietary features--rather than just generic standards like "PXE boot" for Intel servers--is a good start toward building the heterogeneous capabilities needed for large data centers.
What still needs to be done
Build more detail into the reference architecture. Darwin is little more than slideware--so far. But HP has embarked on the right idea: a framework outlining the elements and interfaces of an Organic IT architecture from servers to business processes. HP must deliver lower-level details and road maps for storage and networks, the way it did for management software and for server sharing with the VSE.
Put IT efficiency before business agility. HP's focus on business agility metrics before IT improvements is similar to IBM's mistake of putting business transformation at the front of on-demand efforts. Organic IT technologies yield immediate savings--and don't require any business changes. Most companies will slow purchases and implementation if asked to rethink business processes, rather than looking for business benefits after IT savings are captured.
Don't settle
Demand more cost relief. HP says that companies should demand more--more accountability, more agility and a better return on IT. It's right--so hold all vendors to this standard. If a vendor promises costs savings, demand guarantees backed by cash. If you outsource, demand that your outsourcer trim costs with Organic IT--and a slice of the savings.
Demand more heterogeneity. Despite HP's early efforts, there's a real danger that vendors will favor proprietary approaches over standards to lock in customers. Companies must push HP, IBM and all vendors to follow the Linux example for Organic IT. In these early day, it means that vendors must publish reference architecture details and product APIs (application programming interfaces)--and create industry standards for heterogeneous Organic IT data centers.
Demand more retrofits. Services like HP's IT consolidation offering are great--if your shop is ready for a major equipment buy. But many companies simply want to organize and optimize what they already have--for example, reorganizing existing storage to free up 20 percent more capacity. Companies must demand incremental migration solutions that build toward Organic IT--without big gear buys.

Many survivors of the big earthquake in April and May are still living in tents. Photo: humedica
"But who, in fact, is Paul?"
Also five months after the heavy earthquake in Nepal, the situation of many victims of this catastrophe improves only slowly. The government and many national and international help organizations have already started a number of help projects. humedica, too, has been present on-site with a team of two coordinators and has supported manifold projects. Despite this, the situation is still dramatic in the remote mountain villages, which can hardly be reached.
In the regions which have been the hardest hit up to 95 percent of all houses have been destroyed and the people live in refugee camps. Living together in tents on minimal space is difficult, and it has even worsened by the monsoon with heavy rainfalls and high temperatures.
Besides the difficult living conditions, especially the drinking water supply is a continual problem. In some of the refugee camps they only dispose of surface water or there isn't any regulated access to drinking water at all. The number of diseases, mostly diarrhea diseases, due to contaminated drinking water has continually increased over the past months.
That's the reason why humedica, in collaboration with IOM (International Organization of Migration), has identified the neediest camps and has sent out PAUL from Germany, to help the people. But who, in fact, is PAUL?
The blue, portable box named PAUL (short for Portable Aqua Unit for Lifesaving) is a portable water filtering system, which had been developed by the university Kassel. PAUL can supply about 400 people a day with 1,200 liters of drinking water. The membrane filter not only removes visible dirt, but also germs and viruses causing diarrhea.
The journey of the five PAULs, which have been donated by service clubs from Allgäu, has been difficult. Our coordinators needed several attempts to bring the filter systems by four-wheel drive jeeps to their destinations. Because of the lasting rain, many streets were blocked by landslides and many places were cut off the outside world for several weeks.
So the people's joy was even bigger when our coordinators finally arrived. As PAUL is immediately ready for use and the handling is very easy and explained with pictures, the water could be tested directly.
Meanwhile, the blue boxes are on five different places and are producing drinking water in a clinic in Jalbire, a school in Solukhumbo and in three refugee camps in the regions Gati, Chautara and Sangachok.
The direct access to drinking water has much improved the people's living conditions: diseases could be contained and hour-long walks looking for drinking water are no longer necessary.

Alrededor de la "peligrosa interceptación" China de 2 aviones de guerra de EEUU en las cercanías de la Isla Hainan
WASHINGTON - The Defense Department has expressed its concern to Chinese diplomatic officials about an Aug. 19 incident in which an armed Chinese fighter jet conducted a dangerous intercept of a U.S. Navy P-8 Poseidon patrol aircraft
"Es la vigilancia masiva, frecuente y enfermiza de EEUU sobre China lo que pone en peligro la seguridad aérea y marítima de ambas partes y es la raíz de accidentes", sentenció el Ministerio de Defensa chino

A cada rato los gringos "vigilan" a los chinitos en China. Varios "incidentes" China/EEUU han ocurrido en la Isla Hainan
China urge a EEUU suspender vigilancia de China
BEIJING, 23 ago 2014 (Spanish.xinhuanet.com) -- El Ministerio de Defensa chino urgió hoy a Estados Unidos a suspender la vigilancia de cerca de China y crear una atmósfera sana para los lazos militares bilaterales.
El vocero del ministerio, Yang Yujun, dijo en un comunicado que un avión antisubmarinos de Estados Unidos y un avión patrulla volaron el martes hacia un espacio aéreo a 220 kms. de la isla Hainan, este de China, para realizar una vigilancia de cerca y que entonces un avión de combate chino despegó para llevar a cabo una identificación y verificación.
Al comentar las críticas al respecto por parte del lado estadounidense, Yang dijo que eran "totalmente infundadas" pues el piloto chino, mediante una operación profesional, mantuvo a su avión dentro de una distancia segura respecto al avión de Estados Unidos.
Es la vigilancia masiva y frecuente de Estados Unidos sobre China lo que pone en peligro la seguridad aérea y marítima de ambas partes y es la raíz de accidentes, comentó el vocero.
China pidió a la parte estadounidense guiarse por la ley y prácticas internacionales, respetar los intereses de los países costeros y manejar adecuadamente las diferencias entre las dos partes en temas de seguridad aérea y marítima, añadió Yang.
Yang señaló que la parte estadounidense debe seguir el principio de no conflicto, no confrontación, respeto mutuo y cooperación de beneficio para todos, adoptar acciones concretas, reducir y finalmente suspender la vigilancia cercana de China, para crear una atmósfera sana para los lazos militares bilaterales.
DoD Registers Concern to China for Dangerous Intercept
(Source: US Department of Defense; issued Aug. 22, 2014)
WASHINGTON --- The Defense Department has expressed its concern to Chinese diplomatic officials about an Aug. 19 incident in which an armed Chinese fighter jet conducted a dangerous intercept of a U.S. Navy P-8 Poseidon patrol aircraft, Pentagon Press Secretary Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby told reporters today.
The aircraft was on a routine mission when the intercept took place over the Pacific Ocean about 135 miles east of Hainan Island in international airspace, Kirby said.
"We have registered our strong concerns to the Chinese about the unsafe and unprofessional intercept, which posed a risk to the safety and the well-being of the aircrew, and was inconsistent with customary international law," he said.
Kirby also noted that DoD officials believe the Chinese jet made several passes and crossed under the aircraft with one pass having only 50-100 feet of separation.
"The Chinese jet … passed the nose of the P-8 at 90 degrees with its belly toward the P-8 Poseidon, we believe to make a point of showing its weapons load out," Kirby said. "They flew directly under and alongside the P-8, bringing their wingtips … to within 20 feet and then conducted a roll over the P-8, passing within 45 feet."
The admiral asserted that the incident undermines efforts to continue developing military-to-military relations with the Chinese military.
"This kind of behavior, not only is unprofessional, it's unsafe," Kirby said, "and it is certainly not keeping with the kind of military-to-military … relations that we'd like to have with China."
On April 1, 2001, a Chinese fighter jet collided with a U.S. Navy EP-3 surveillance aircraft -- the P-8 Poseidon's predecessor aircraft -- that was flying a routine mission in international airspace over the South China Sea. Wang Wei, the Chinese pilot whose fighter jet collided with the EP-3, was killed. The damaged EP-3 made an emergency landing on China's Hainan Island, where its crew was held by Chinese authorities and eventually released. (ends)
China Urges U.S. to Stop Close-In Reconnaissance Activities
(Source: Chinese Ministry of defense; issued August 24, 2014)
BEIJING --- China's Defense Ministry urges the United States to stop its close-in reconnaissance activities against China and create a good environment for the development of bilateral military relations.
Yang Yujun, spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense (MND) of the People's Republic of China (PRC), said in a statement on Saturday that a P-3 anti-submarine warfare aircraft and a P-8 patrol aircraft from the U.S. Navy flied over the airspace about 220 kilometers east of Hainan Island and conducted close-in reconnaissance against China on August 19, 2014 at around 9:00 AM.
Yang said that a J-11 fighter jet from the aviation force of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) took off and carried out routine identification and verification over the two U.S. naval planes. During the activity of identification and verification, the relevant operations made by the Chinese pilot were professional and the Chinese jet kept a safe distance from the U.S. planes, stressed Yang.
Yang Yujun pointed out that the U.S. side's accusation against China is totally groundless. He continued that the U.S's large scale and highly frequent close-in reconnaissance against China is the root cause of accidents endangering the sea and air military security between China and the United States.
China urges the U.S. side to truly abide by the relevant international law and international practice, respect the security concern of coastal country and properly deal with the differences between both sides on the sea and air military security, said Yang.
Yang also stressed that the U.S. side should, from a perspective of building new models of major power relations between China and the U.S. and in line with the principle of "no conflict, no fighting, mutual respect, cooperation and win-win", adopt practical measures to reduce and eventually stop its reconnaissance activities against China, so as to create a good environment for the development of bilateral military relations.

A P-8A of VP-16 dropping a torpedo
During exercises in 2012-2013 and an overseas deployment to Japan, the aircraft Boeing P-8 Poseidon reportedly exhibited radar, sensor integration, and data transfer problems, leading to additional testing. In January 2014, the Pentagon's Director of Operational Test and Evaluation office called the P-8A 'ineffective' for large area ISR and anti-submarine warfare missions, and said that the initial aircraft were not ready for deployment.[52][53] The same report found that the P-8 was effective at the small-area search mission, and with much better range, speed, and reliability than older aircraft.[54] Pentagon acquisition undersecretary Frank Kendall disputed the report, saying that although its findings are factual, it did not acknowledge future capability upgrades for anti-submarine and wider-area surveillance.[55]
The Boeing P-8 Poseidon (formerly the Multimission Maritime Aircraft or MMA) is a military aircraft developed for the United States Navy (USN). The aircraft has been developed by Boeing Defense, Space & Security, modified from the 737-800ERX.
The P-8 conducts anti-submarine warfare (ASW), anti-surface warfare (ASUW), and shipping interdiction, along with an electronic signals intelligence (ELINT) role. This involves carrying torpedoes, depth charges, SLAM-ER missiles, Harpoon anti-ship missiles, and other weapons. It is able to drop and monitor sonobuoys. It is designed to operate in conjunction with the Northrop Grumman MQ-4C Triton Broad Area Maritime Surveillance unmanned aerial vehicle. The aircraft has also been ordered by the Indian Navy as the P-8I Neptune, with the Royal Australian Air Force expected to place an order.
On April 1, 2001, the Hainan Island incident occurred when a mid-air collision between a United States Navy EP-3E ARIES II signals intelligence aircraft and a People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) J-8II interceptor fighter jet resulted in an international dispute between the United States of America and the People's Republic of China.

This is an irreplaceable historic image used to identify a notable incident in the relations between United States and China during the start of the 21st century. It clearly identifies the subject of the incident, the EP-3E ARIES II surveillance plane. The reader can readily and factually see the damage to the plane in this photo, the damaged propeller tip on the furthest right, and the missing radome (nose).
On April 1, 2001, the Hainan Island incident occurred when a mid-air collision between a United States Navy EP-3E ARIES II signals intelligence aircraft and a People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) J-8II interceptor fighter jet resulted in an international dispute between the United States of America and the People's Republic of China.
The EP-3 was operating about 70 miles (110 km) away from the PRC island province of Hainan, and about 100 miles (160 km) away from the Chinese military installation in the Paracel Islands, when it was intercepted by two J-8 fighters. A collision between the EP-3 and one of the J-8s caused the death of a PRC pilot, and the EP-3 was forced to make an emergency landing on Hainan. The 24 crew members were detained and interrogated by the Chinese authorities until a statement was delivered by United States government regarding the incident. The exact phrasing of this document was intentionally ambiguous and allowed both countries to save face while defusing a potentially volatile situation between militarily strong regional states.[1][2]
El 1 de abril de 2001, el incidente de la isla de Hainan se produjo cuando ocurrió una colisión en el aire entre un avión de "inteligencia" (espionaje) de EEUU, un Navy EP-3E ARIES II y un avión militar de China, un J-8II interceptor jet, que llevó a un incidente internacional entre EEUU y la República Popular de China.
El EP-3 gringo estaba de misión a 110 kms de la provincia insular china de Hainan y a 160 kms de la instalación militar china en las islas Paracel, cuando fue interceptado por dos J-8. La colisión entre el EP-3 y uno de los J-8 causó la muerte de un piloto chino, y el EP-3 se vio obligado a realizar un aterrizaje de emergencia en Hainan. Los 24 gringos miembros de la tripulación fueron detenidos e interrogados por las autoridades chinas hasta que una declaración fue entregada por el gobierno de los Estados Unidos en relación con el incidente. La redacción exacta de este documento fue intencionalmente ambigua y permitió a ambos países "salvar la cara", y desactivar una situación potencialmente volátil de caracter militar entre las dos potencias.
090308-N-0000X-003 SOUTH CHINA SEA (March 8, 2009) Two Chinese trawlers stop directly in front of the Military Sealift Command ocean surveillance ship USNS Impeccable (T-AGOS-23), forcing the ship to conduct an emergency "all stop" in order to avoid collision. The incident took place in international waters in the South China Sea about 75 miles south of Hainan Island. The trawlers came within 25 feet of Impeccable, as part of an apparent coordinated effort to harass the unarmed ocean surveillance ship.
The proximate cause of the incident may have been that the Impeccable was learning too much about Chinese submarines based at Hainan Island that were conducting exercises in the South China Sea.
"The Chinese have decided that one of their biggest naval facilities is going to be at Hainan, therefore the area is becoming more sensitive for the Chinese military," said Dennis Wilder, a China military expert at the Brookings Institution who served as George W. Bush's top Asia adviser until January.
"The Chinese goal is to have the US back away from sensitive areas."

While majority of your university life is spent having fun, it is always wise to remember the significance of keeping vigilant and safe while staying at your own. Although all our Oxfordcaps residences do have on-site CCTVs, still keeping in mind our simple advice will assist you in keeping yourself extra safe.
Beware of stalkers
It is best to be wary of people coming behind you when entering your accommodation or while you unlock your room to enter. If someone does try to follow you, it is best to report it to our Oxfordcaps team.
Make sure to lock your bedroom door
It's not only important to lock your door when you are going out, but it's also imperative to lock it even when you are inside the room. By keeping your room door locked, you will be able to safeguard your valuables. Before leaving your room, keep all your money or valuables such as laptops or phones out of sight or hidden so that if anyone tries to break in, h/she would have to struggle to look for anything valuable.
Do not keep your keys lying around
Always keep your keys on you and do not leave them hanging in the lock on the door. Also, if by any chance you do lose the keys to the accommodation, please immediately report it to our Oxfordcaps staff.
Report if you come across something suspicious!
It is as simple as that. If you come across something or someone around your accommodation that does not feel quite right, please report the same to the Oxfordcaps team.
Along with the combination of CCTVs and the on-site Oxfordcaps team, taking the above mentioned precautions will ensure that in addition to enjoying your stay with us, you also enjoy our high security standards and the safest possible environment 24×7.
If you have any queries about safety at our student residences, please get in touch with us on email or call.

TREASURER Wayne Swan and Mental Health Minister Mark Butler made flying visits to Knox this week to promote the federal budget.Visiting Bayswaters Kenworth truck plant yesterday, Mr Swan spoke about the strength of the local manucturing industry.Kenworth is a great example of a local company products that are highly competitive in the market, he said. Mr Swan said the budget included measures to ensure manucturing stayed strong in Knox and around the country.During a visit to Scoresbys Greater Eastern Primary Health on Monday, Mr Butler spoke to doctors, nurses and staff to explain what the governments $2.2 billion mental health boost meant for grassroots cilities.The package includes an investment of $205 million for a major expansion of the Access to Allied Psychologicagreater eastSwan flies in with budget – Local News – News – General – Knox Weeklyl Services program, which Mr Butler said would give more people the care and support they needed. This will mean that more people who are diagnosed with mental illness will be able to gain the services they need in local communities like this one – at low to no cost, he said.Mr Butler praised the Scoresby centre for its work. We need more organisations like this one which are innovative and reaching out to the community. Its been ntastic to talk to them. Outer suburban areas like this one have traditionally struggled to get the same level of service that is available in the inner city. One of the things we really focused on in last weeks budget was to even that ledger.Greater Eastern Primary Health chairwoman Wendy Bissinger was pleased to have the opportunity to speak with Mr Butler. It was good to sit down and have our concerns heard, she said.Dr Bissinger said the increased funding for mental health would be a big boost for her centre and the community. One of the most important things is the funding going towards the ATAPS program. We would like that to remaingreater eastern primary health a focus of even more funding, because it is so vital for patients, but I understand and accept the ministers explanation for why it cant get more.What this means is patients now have better access to psychiatric services. Well also be able to keep developing initiatives to help both children and adults tackle mental health issues.

What is Vitamin A?
Vitamin A is introduced into our bodies in two ways: as retinoids which are animal sources of vitamin A, and as carotenoids which are plant sources of vitamin A. Vitamin A has many important functions in our bodies, but the one that most people are familiar with is the health of our eyes. We require vitamin A to form light-sensitive nerve cells, called photoreceptors, in the retina, which gives us the ability to see at night and in dark areas. However, vision is not the only role this vitamin plays in our eyes. It also helps maintain the cornea of our eye - this is the clear layer around our eyeball that is one of the major barriers which protects us against things in our environment that can harm our eyes, such as dirt and germs.
Vitamin A also plays a role in maintaining the health and function of major organ systems, including our skin, and the lining of our lungs, digestive tract, and urinary tract. Lastly, vitamin A helps support our immune system to help us fight off infections.
Most adults can get half of their RDA by eating 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Good animal sources of vitamin A include fish liver oils, liver, egg yolks, butter, cream, and fortified milk, while good plant sources include sweet potatoes, carrots, spinach, and apricots.
For adults, the RDA for vitamin A varies by gender: males 900 mcg/day, females 700 mcg/day, pregnant females 750-770 mcg/day, breastfeeding females 1,200-1,300 mcg/day. Too much vitamin A can be harmful and, since this vitamin is stored in fat, can reach toxic levels in our bodies. Symptoms of too much vitamin A include headaches, vomiting, confusion, joint pain, and skin that is dry and has a yellow-orange discoloration. Taking too much vitamin A supplements can have negative effects on bone density, liver health, and increase the risk of certain birth defects.

The loss of running back Rashaad Penny for the rest of the season prompted the Seattle Seahawks to bring in a trio of running backs for workouts on Tuesday.
According to Howard Balzer, the Seahawks brought Xavier Turner, Matthew Dayes and Nick Brossette in for tryouts.
Turner spent part of the preseason with Seattle. He appeared in all four of the team's preseason games and rushed for 71 yards on 17 carries.
Dayes was a seventh-round pick of the Cleveland Browns in 2017. He appeared in all 16 games with the team as a rookie with five carries for yards rushing and four catches for 29 yards receiving. He spent seven games with the San Francisco 49ers last season and was waived/injured by the New Orleans Saints in training camp in August. The Saints released him from injured reserve in September.
Brossette signed with the New England Patriots as an undrafted free agent out of LSU this spring and later signed with the Detroit Lions practice squad.
The Seahawks will turn to C.J. Prosise and rookie Travis Homer for depth behind Chris Carson. Any of the three brought in for workouts on Tuesday would be likely candidates for the team's practice squad, which doesn't currently have any running backs as a part of the 10-man squad.

Predicting the occurrence of cave-inhabiting fauna based on features of the earth surface environment
- More information: Publisher Index Page (via DOI)

- Download citation as: RIS | Dublin Core
One of the most challenging fauna to study in situ is the obligate cave fauna because of the difficulty of sampling. Cave-limited species display patchy and restricted distributions, but it is often unclear whether the observed distribution is a sampling artifact or a true restriction in range. Further, the drivers of the distribution could be local environmental conditions, such as cave humidity, or they could be associated with surface features that are surrogates for cave conditions. If surface features can be used to predict the distribution of important cave taxa, then conservation management is more easily obtained. We examined the hypothesis that the presence of major faunal groups of cave obligate species could be predicted based on features of the earth surface. Georeferenced records of cave obligate amphipods, crayfish, fish, isopods, beetles, millipedes, pseudoscorpions, spiders, and springtails within the area of Appalachian Landscape Conservation Cooperative in the eastern United States (Illinois to Virginia and New York to Alabama) were assigned to 20 x 20 km grid cells. Habitat suitability for these faunal groups was modeled using logistic regression with twenty predictor variables within each grid cell, such as percent karst, soil features, temperature, precipitation, and elevation. Models successfully predicted the presence of a group greater than 65% of the time (mean = 88%) for the presence of single grid cell endemics, and for all faunal groups except pseudoscorpions. The most common predictor variables were latitude, percent karst, and the standard deviation of the Topographic Position Index (TPI), a measure of landscape rugosity within each grid cell. The overall success of these models points to a number of important connections between the surface and cave environments, and some of these, especially soil features and topographic variability, suggest new research directions. These models should prove to be useful tools in predicting the presence of species in understudied areas.

Ever see a movie that scared the crap out of you when you were a kid and that seems really corny today (for more detail about that, see my review of THE GREEN SLIME)? This is not one of those times.
GARGOYLES (a made-for-TV movie) was written by Elinor and Steven Karpf (TERROR IN THE SKY [TV], DEVIL DOG: THE HOUND OF HELL [TV]) and directed by Bill L. Norton (TWILIGHT ZONE [TV], PROFILER [TV], ANGEL [TV], ROSWELL [TV], JOHN DOE [TV], MEDIUM [TV]). It opens with some narration about legends of hell and the devil and how the devil supposedly said, when he was banished to hell, that his offspring, the gargoyles, will rule the world. Like most narration it really isn't necessary to the story (or remotely accurate even as a myth - Feo).
The actual story begins with Dr. Mercer Boley (Cornel Wilde: THE NAKED PREY, THE NORSEMAN) at a small airport. A prop plane lands and his daughter Diana (Jennifer Salt: SISTERS, OUT OF THE DARKNESS) gets out. Conversation makes it clear that Boley is a successful author of several books about ancient legends and superstitions. The father / daughter pair is driving south through Arizona on their way to Mexico for research on the Maya.
Boley's books and talk show appearances result in lots of letters from odd people making odd claims. On the way through Arizona, Boley makes a side trip to check out a such a letter. They stop at Uncle Willie's Desert Museum where Uncle Willie (Woody Chambliss: THE DEVIL'S RAIN) describes the book he wants Boley to co-write with him.
Boley quickly loses interest and is headed out the door when Uncle Willie unveils his "discovery": a skeleton that looks like a man with wings and a horned skull. Boley is still skeptical but decides to listen to what the old man has to say.
Uncle Willie's stories about the local Indian legends concerning the creatures represented by the skeleton go well into the evening. Once it's dark outside Willie makes a point of bolting the door, saying only that he has his reasons - he always locks all the doors at night.
The gargoyle attack that follows is well done and suspenseful and we got here fast, without any slow spots. The story moves and the scenes with the reptilian creatures moving through the dark making eerie noises are still scary. The director made an excellent choice by shooting all the scenes in slight slow motion, making the gargoyles seem more real somehow.
Not that they're perfect. The gargoyles are obviously guys in rubber suits and in many scenes you can see the imperfectly fitting rubber suits bunched up around the joints. How much that bothers you depends on how much you can watch a movie on its own level. This is a very low budget B monster flick from the 70's, after all. Cut it some slack and the story will entertain you.
Boley and Diana go to the police the next day and report what happened, leaving out the part about the gargoyles. When the cops arrive at Willie's place they find a group of dirt bikers picking over the remains of the buildings and decide they must have been responsible for the whole thing. One of the bikers is played by a very young Scott Glenn (THE KEEP, THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS).
Boley has kept the horned skull from the skeleton and has it in the motel room with him and his daughter. This leads to an event that gave me nightmares for quite a while - you'll know it when you see it. There are lots of memorable moments, especially involving the King Gargoyle (Bernie Casey: VEGAS VAMPS, DR. BLACK - MR. HYDE, CLEOPATRA JONES). He and the other "winged breeders" can speak and their voices are other worldly.
Winged, you ask? As in, he can fly? To answer that I think we're overdue for a
I hadn't seen this film since it scared me as a kid but I was surprised at how well it held up. Yeah, the rubber outfits are cheesy and the ridiculously well lit caves are cheesy and the actual flying scenes are really cheesy but if you watch this movie at its level you can still achieve suspension of disbelief enough to be creeped out by the gargoyle noises coming from the dark desert. I give GARGOYLES three Shriek Girls.

This is one of the most important tasks your company will consider but when it comes to defining our business branding, it is sometimes difficult to know where to begin.
One of the best pieces of advice we can give is, not to think of your company branding as one enormous task you need to decipher and get down onto paper but instead a series of key checkpoints.
Let's start at the beginning with a few basic questions you need to evaluate about your company branding:
What are your company's Unique Selling Points? That's easy! Now you need to show how unique your brand is and why this is important.
Who is your target audience? Once you know this much, you can begin to consider how your brand relates with your audience.
What are your company values? Not only is it important to know and understand your company values, you also need to ensure your branding reflects these values to your audience.
It is a great idea to see these questions as a starting point for developing your business branding. Once you have a solid understanding of these points, you can move onto creating clear objectives for your company branding, which can include, for example: engagement with customers, message deliverability and customer loyalty.
At Digital Media Solution, we have a team of industry experts who can help you create and develop your business branding. For further information, get in touch with us today at: firstname.lastname@example.com or telephone 0333 444 0678.

These days, it seems like everyone is working a gazillion jobs, pursuing infinite passions, and traveling all over the world. Over the coming days, we will be introducing you to a handful of the East End's top talents whose success is generated by their magical ability to mix it all up. Meet Gretchen Maull!
Various Hustles: "I'm the creative director and founder of GG Maull, a handbag brand characterized by functionality, aesthetics, and purpose. My responsibilities are… everything! One of the highlights of starting your own company is getting to wear many hats. When I worked for Oscar de la Renta and Juicy Couture, I was just a handbag designer. Now, I create beautiful bags, strategize innovative ways to sell, and impact women's lives."
How I Mix It Up: "This year, I decided to pull out of most wholesale accounts and launch an innovative concept called Voice Your Vision, where the customer gets to vote on what colors and handbag styles are put into production — a job typically done by the buyers of department stores. Giving the power of purchase back to our customer has opened up new opportunities for GG Maull. Women hold 80 percent of the purchasing power in the U.S., but female-founded companies only represent 4.2 percent of the revenue.
Hosting events with other female-founded brands has been empowering to create a direct relationship with our customers while simultaneously being able to assist other female-founded businesses with their growth. Creating beautiful handbags wasn't enough — I wanted to have a purpose for GG Maull. For me, this is honoring the Italian artisans who make each handbag, the environment, and the women who carry them. At GG Maull events, we also purchase our food and beverages from female-founded brands. This has expanded from work events to the products I purchase for my home. Now, my friends will text me recommendations of a delicious drink or lotion they tried that was created by women!"
Growth Strategy: "Take risks! It's the best way women can build confidence. In my personal life, I recently bought a house in the Hamptons. This huge increase in responsibility has forced me to work on my prioritization and communication."
Hamptons Obsessions: "Spending time walking on the beach gives me clarity and the headspace to be more creative when I'm back in the city at work."
