|This article is about a/an episode in Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger.
Crybaby and Candy (泣き虫とあめ玉 Nakimushi to Amedama) is the fourteenth episode of Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger.
Chuuzubo summons his partner Chuunin to Earth, who turns Yousuke and others into children in hopes of using this weakness to crush the planet.
Nanami tries to get Yousuke out of a tree where he puts two eggs in their nest as Kouta arrives with a ladder. He falls out of the tree and into a lake. Oboro completed yet another Karakuri Ball program, and she's quite pleased with herself. Wet Yousuke and the others arrive. Mugensai gives him a proverb to teach him a lesson and Yousuke shouts that he is not a child. In the Centipede, Chuzubo begs for another chance. One of many fireballs hits and bashes through into the throne room. The Goraijer are there as well. It is a pot and a green smoke comes out of it, forming Octo. He reunites with his cousin Chuzubo, who thinks highly of him. Tao Zanto approves of them attacking. Chuzubo teases the silent Goraijer. Octo in his pot lands on a beach. Chuzubo teleports there and Octo comes out of the jar. A skin-care saleswoman, doctor, and pilot are attacked by Octo's black smoke. Oboro has tracked it down, the trio runs towards where the people are running from. Kouta attempts to stop Yousuke from going ahead but he does anyway. There seems to be no one there but octo is above him and sprays his face. The other two transform. Yousuke challenges him furiously, and he laughs. Then he does his spell. Yousuke become as a child. And so does all the other black-faced victims. Little candy balls go in the jar. The two block an attack for Red. Chuzubo arrives. They try their guns but are blasted back at. They then disappear, leaving their suits. Chuzubo calls for Magerappa and they run off. The Kasumi Brothers were watching. The trio end up in a dead end, they doubt Chuzubo's plan will work. Yousuke is five and doesn't remember them. Nanami gently bandages Yousuke's scraped back-of-hand. He won't stop crying. They try telling him he is a strong ninja, but then Magerappa are nearby. The trio blended with the wall so the Jakaja couldn't see him. They watch the other victims turned children. He cries again and they end up carrying him. Six hours ago all this started, and Oboro used her computer to track the wave of people turning into children back to point of origin. Kouta fights Magerra and leaves his jacket, hanging above them. They continue running. The trio find the urn in the beach and encounter the cousins. Octo shows them the candies in his urn. Each one a person's adulthood. Blue and Yellow transform and fight the two. He sees them being beat, so he runs to the urn. He gets the urn and is told to run. Ocoto blasts at him but he avoids the blasts. Chuzubo shoots lasers from his eyes. His jacket is left alone as the smoke clears. He appears from the ground and mocks them. Kouta shoots shurikens in Chuzubo's head. Nanami and Kouta congratulate Yousuke. They open the urn and he eats the red one and returns to normal. He transforms and they all introduce themselves. They fit through the frame. Blue and Yellow fight Octo and Red fights Chuzubo. He is pushed back by his pole but leaves a straw man with his suit. Chuzubo holds Red's sword and swings him over. Yousuke then becomes a red tank and blasts Chuzubo. Octo wraps his tentacles around the others. Red saves them. Red fights Octo and he is defeated by the Triple Gadget. All the adults return to normal. Chuzubo mourns over his cousin's remains. He is made big by Chuzubo and Senpuujin tries the new Squid Attacker. Ikkou and Ishuu watch from the beach. The Gouraijer transform. Senpuujin launches in the air with the tentacles and slashes itself free by spinning. Octo falls. The Goraijer arrive in their machines. Octo runs to the Hurricanger. The trio finish him off with Squid Attacker on their knee. Gouraijin is formed and they want to show Chuzubo how it is really done. They beat up Senpuujin. Nanami and Kouta form the Goat Hammer. The Gouraijer bust out with their Sword Slasher. Oboro is shocked. Senpuujin sends their hammer at them, but they bat it back. Senpuujin absorbs the hit. Kouta and Nanami's Shinobi Medals pop out of their slots and they split apart. Later, the trio are on the beach. Yousuke remembers everything and teases them.

I've previously written about how to start a lawncare business , but here are some additional tips to starting and marketing this type of business:
Direct marketing is a very effective way of reaching potential customers for your lawncare business. You can either create brochures that provide details about your company or a postcard that highlights what your business is all about. Whatever format you decide in your direct mail campaign, it is important that your ads must be written in a way that speak directly to your potential clients. Emphasize the reasons why you are better than other lawn-care companies. List down the benefits the customers will get when they hire you. Carefully think what your headline will be: remember, your headline can make or break your direct mail campaign and it will spell the difference between sending brochures that are kept or postcards that are thrown immediately to the trash without being read.
Put on a professional image. Your appearance is important!! As much as possible, present yourself in a clean and tidy manner — even wearing a collared shirt or better yet, your company's uniform — when talking to your potential clients. Professionalism also means doing an outstanding job, arriving on time, and keeping your word to your clients, and doing what you say you are going to do. These are the qualities that will set yourself apart from other lawncare companies. One of my pet peeves is having a lawncare company telling me that they will come tomorrow but only to show up 2 days later after you've made 10 follow-up calls to them.
Maximize the advertising opportunity of your vehicle. Your truck is one of your most effective — and cheapest — advertising tool you can ever have. It's your walking billboard. However, avoid the common mistake of putting every single information about your business in the ad. Doing so clutters the whole ad and makes it very hard to read. Remember, the ad in your car — which can either be stickers or magnet — will be read by people on the street as you drive by, other cars driving alongside your truck or behind you — and that means that people will only have a few seconds to get your information. Focus on a single information that you think people will find easy to remember — either your business name or website — and use the biggest font for that information.
Use referral marketing. Your existing clients can be your biggest help in spreading the word about your business. However, give them a little encouragement and make the act of referring your services to others worthwhile for them. Consider offering your existing customers a discount off their monthly service fee for every account that they refer to you.
Go beyond just mowing. To maximize revenue opportunities in this business, it is important that you offer a wider array of services. In fact, mowing provides the lowest profit margin and is only used as a chance to upsell the customer base to other more profitable services. Plus, lawncare business is seasonal in some states that you need to adjust the types of services that you offer based on the seasons. Some of the more profitable businesses you can offer include: insect-disease control; lawn and bed weed control; planting annuals; and landscaping.

Accusations of over-development thrown at St Albans council
PUBLISHED: 16:08 13 July 2017 | UPDATED: 16:15 13 July 2017
Accusations of over-development in a conservation area have been thrown at the district council (SADC).
Objections from residents have flooded in about a new application to build 74 new apartments in a seven story high-rise on a car park on Grosvenor Road in a St Albans conservation area.
SADC designates these regions because they are of "special architectural or historic interest".
There have been hundreds of new homes approved for this particular area in the last few years - including 44 in Ridgmont Plaza, 58 in Beaufort House, 125 in the Ziggurat Building, and 80 in Gabriel Square on London Road.
An action group, St Albans Groundswell, is currently raising money to take legal action against the car park application.
Local resident, Edmund Hornsby, said development was "enormous": "They've all got to go somewhere. We would hope that the council have looked at things in terms of schools, in terms of fire, in terms of police, in terms of trains."
Another local, Valerie Edwards, said there are "so many" questions to be considered, including "over-development", "non-sustainability" of infrastructure, "too many losses of required office space", "adverse architectural image", and "loss of mature trees".
Planning portfolio holder, District Cllr Mary Maynard, stressed that planning is a legal process: "I think there's an infrastructure case and that is something which should be looked at - I absolutely feel for them, it should be integrated and it's something I am very conscious of."
Head of planning and building control for SADC, Tracy Harvey, said: "Under recent changes to planning law, existing office buildings can be converted to residential use without the submission of a planning application to the council.
"They can claim what is called prior approval, where the principle of residential use has already been granted by the government."
She said planners consider a range of impacts a development may have in the local area, but have "no scope" under prior approval.
She noted the car park application does not have prior approval.

The Skeena River Estuary: A Snapshot of Current Status and Condition
December 8, 2015
The Pacific Salmon Foundation's Skeena Salmon Program is pleased to announce the release of The Skeena River Estuary – A Snapshot of Current Status and Condition.
The Skeena River estuary provides important nursery habitat for juvenile chinook, coho, pink, chum, and sockeye salmon from over fifty genetically and geographically distinct wild salmon populations. As juvenile salmon migrate out to sea, the estuary serves as a critical transition zone where salmon can grow rapidly as they adapt to their new saltwater environment.
Understanding how anticipated environmental and anthropogenic changes in the Skeena River estuary affect salmon populations is essential to the long-term conservation of wild salmon populations.
This report summarizes the results of our assessment, based on a suite of pressure and state indicators related to water quality, salmon habitat and food, and salmon populations. The methods and design for the assessment were guided by a Skeena Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), who provided valuable feedback, data and advice throughout the project's development. The results of this project provide a snapshot of our current understanding of the state of the Skeena River estuary, current pressures on estuary habitats, and critical information gaps and key monitoring needs required to evaluate changes in habitat status over time.
More information about the project, as well as links to the full technical report and data quality assessment supplemental, can be found here.

Selling a house isn't an easy feat for most people. Whether you get the price you want is going to depend on the season, the housing market and whether you have the house looking great. Selling your home isn't just about the way you've redone the kitchen and repainted the living room, it's all about the outside of the house, too.
You obviously want to live in a property that you're proud to come home to and first impressions are everything. If a house looks fantastic on the inside but is an absolute hovel on the outside, it's not going to be appealing to anyone. People make snap judgments as it is, the last thing that you want is for a snap judgment to be made on your home.
You only get one chance to make that impression on your buyers, and it's important to know that making the outside of your home look good doesn't have to take massive chunks of money.
Of course, you can spend the money bringing in the expertise of a new siding company, Siding and Windows Group, but if you haven't quite got the budget to replace the windows of your home, there are other things that you can do. Below, you can find four fantastic ways to give your home instant curb appeal.
A Lick of Paint
The front door of the home gets treated quite brutally. The wind, rain and other elements are constantly bashing against it, wearing down the paint and making the door look dull and lackluster. No one wants to be greeted by a shabby, run-down door, so give it a lick of paint and freshen it up with varnish.
The best, easiest way that you can make your home look amazing is to bring it to life with planters with bright flowers and greenery. You can think about the symmetry when you position the plants and having them either side of the door can add something beautiful to look at. Don't be afraid to branch out with your plants, either. Go tropical, go tall, go bizarre. You'll be remembered as the house with the random potted palm tree for sure!
Windows have curtains or blinds on the inside, but they have nothing on the outside. Until you put shutters on there, at least! Paint some shutters and get them fixed for a rustic, country feel to your home. They draw the eye, they can be any color that you choose and they vary in style, giving your house the chance to look different to the rest on the street.
The path that goes up toward your front door needs to look welcoming and one way to do that is with lighting. Solar lighting will save you money but will light up the moment the sun goes down, meaning that you are able to see where you're going in the evening. Think about your outside light and how clean it is, too.
Your home can have curb appeal with a little hard work!

The great thing about Japan is that there are jaw-dropping builds almost everywhere. Some are well known and receive a lot of Internet exposure, but some are hidden from the spotlight. They're equally as great—you just have to look a little harder to find them. Luckily, we have some great contributors who know a guy who knows a guy to help us find epic builds from some of the most quiet places in Japan. This 1998 Mazda RX-7 is one such undiscovered gem.
The owner, Kazuyuki Takahashi, is the man behind a tuning shop located in the Gunma Prefecture of Japan. Gunma isn't exactly a small area; it just isn't particularly as popular as some of the more well-known regions where car culture thrives. The name might sound familiar if you've ever watched Initial D, as it's the same location where the comic unfolds. For Takahashi, it is simply "home" and a playground where he operates Technical Auto Ones, better known as "T-Ones." The name itself is a little odd, but it's actually derived from 0.1T (unit of measure for ton). According to Takahashi-san, it's a running joke amongst his friends because of his weight. 0.1T equates to about 200 pounds, which is what Takahashi-san tips the scale at. He's been known to consume his fair share of Tonkatsu (Japanese breaded and fried meat) and even has a local eatery by his shop where everyone seems to know him by name.
Takahashi started T-Ones 11 years ago after leaving his former employer. The tuning scene in Japan had experienced massive growth during the early 2000s and the market had become oversaturated. He started losing work so he branched off and created his own specialty shop that focused mainly on rotary engines. He had a particular affection for Mazda-built motors from an early age because of how unconventional they were. T-Ones dedicated its time catering to the piston-less Wankel before eventually growing into a shop that did just about everything.
His own personal circuit missile was built from the ground up in-house. From the engine modifications, tuning, all the way down to the very minute specifics of the suspension dynamics are all a product of T-Ones. Kazuyuki has stripped the car down to about 1,085 kilos (2395 pounds) and, despite his 200-pound frame, he is able to pilot the car through Japan's famed Tsukuba Circuit at an incredible 55.237 lap time. Anything under a minute at TC2000 is considered a great achievement, but by next year, he's set on surpassing that and going under the 55-second mark. Make no mistake, there's nothing secretive about what he does—what you see is what you get. His FD3S is just a finely tuned machine that makes power without sacrificing the agility the RX-7 is known for.
Pushing more than 550-plus horsepower is a side-port 13B with a hefty Trust T88-34D turbine. Filling up a majority of the front nose of the bay is a custom V-mounted Blitz intercooler with custom piping. Fuel delivery comes by way of twin Bosch pumps that send race gas to four 1,000cc injectors. A rare (and now discontinued) five-speed HKS sequential transmission is responsible for getting all that power to the Advan Racing wheels and meaty Advan A050 rubber. A Brembo F50 big brake upgrade ensures that Takahashi's FD stops at a moment's notice. Dampening force originates from made-to-order T-Ones "Addict Damper II" coilovers. Within the confines of the cockpit is where the weight reduction is most apparent. Creature comforts have been expunged for the sake of 55-second lap times, and rightfully so. Other than the dashboard, gauges, and shifter of the sequential gearbox, all you will find is a steering wheel positioned in front of a single Recaro seat. Visual stimulation besides what is in front of the windshield is bare panels exposed from the lack of carpet and door cards.
The exterior of the T-Ones FD3S is a perfect marriage of form and function. Mazda tuning idol RE Amemiya is perhaps one of the most highly respect names in the RX-7 community, so it only makes sense to send the car out to battle fully adorned in its armor. Every removable panel of the stock-body RX-7 has been replaced with lightweight, functional, RE components from the bumpers, hood, fenders, and even doors. A custom rear carbon diffuser helps channel air through the vehicle and an Esprit rear wing creates the necessary downforce to keep the car planted firmly on the circuit. Adding intrigue to the build is the reasoning behind the bright orange tone of the body. Takahashi-san explained to us that he opted for this specific color way to represent both his shop and his car in homage to Jiyan (ジャイアン), the big bully from the classic Japanese Doraemon comic series. The character is often seen in orange, and Takahashi himself is a bit of a "bully" because of his stature, so it just made sense. Seeing how menacing this RX-7 is at Tsukuba, it's safe to say it is a bit of a big bully itself.
Builds like this are exactly why we must remind ourselves to continue to uncover the great automotive gems that exist, and often lurk, in Japan. It's quite fortunate for us to be able to sit down with him, even if for a few brief minutes, just to learn about his exploits in the community.
Honestly, where else would you hear about a slightly overweight RX-7 specialist from an area of Japan that you've probably never heard of, who happens to have a deep love of Katsu and dated Manga characters? Do we need to remind you that the car is also a terror on one of Japan's most respected and famed racetracks? Our ongoing search to find these automotive treasures and their owners continues. If you're just as intrigued as we are, stay tuned—there's plenty more to come.

"We look forward to building on our success, and next year plan to venture into new ways of building houses as we accelerate our development strategy."
whg will find out if they have won at an awards ceremony in Birmingham on 20th June.
The awards, which are now in their fourth year, celebrate the achievements of the region's residential sector.

These feelings won't go away
They've been knockin' me sideways
I keep thinking in a moment that
Time will take them away
But these feelings won't go away
– Sideways, Citizen Cope

Brownstone: Kitchen
"I loved my daughter," Bobbie murmured, "but I'm not sure I ever understood her." She stirred her tea a bit restlessly. "To set up a scene like that—"
Elizabeth bit her lip, her heart aching for Bobbie, but she was unsurprised to learn that the reading of Carly's will had been a disaster. Carly had designed it for shock value — in the event she passed before Michael was an adult, she asked that Edward and AJ be invited to the reading of her will along with Jason, Sonny, and Bobbie.
Not there had been any surprises—Even Elizabeth knew Carly had set up a trust for Michael with Jason and Bobbie as executors, that Jason had been left guardianship, but…
"I know Edward can be difficult," Bobbie continued. "He's cantankerous, stubborn, arrogant—but he didn't deserve what she wrote. What she said about him."
"Is Jason legally bound to what Carly wrote?" Elizabeth asked. "To state that Michael is to never have a single piece of contact with anyone in the Quartermaine family before his eighteenth birthday—can that even be enforced?"
"No, not likely." Bobbie shook her head. "Jason and Alexis are meeting about it today, but it just makes this situation more tense. AJ hasn't filed yet, but I know he wants visitation at the very least, and truthfully…"
"You've considered it," Elizabeth murmured. "You know that's why Carly didn't leave you guardianship."
"I'm too soft, she used to tell me. But, yes, I'm sure she knew that my loyalty isn't hard and fast. I often tried to get her to soften her stance on the Quartermaines." She touched Elizabeth's hands. "But I'm worried that Jason may dig his feet in the sand over this. Has Emily spoken to you about the fallout after his accident?"
"In some ways, but I know Jason…" She bit her lip. "He'd never admit it, but I think he felt rejected by them. They kept looking at him, wanting him to be this other person. Wanting him to be their idea of who Jason used to be. And the more they pushed, the more he drew away."
"When you add in the fact that the one trait all Quartermaine men possess is their stubborn nature—it's just become worse since Jason went to work for Sonny. Edward saw him denying all the advantages their family offered. And when this business with Michael happened—"
"It made everything even worse." Elizabeth bit her lip. She didn't want to be involved. She didn't want anything to do with this, but she could feel herself being sucked in anyway. "Bobbie—"
"I feel awful asking this, but I don't think Jason will listen to me about this."
"You have influence with Jason. You may not want to see it, but—"
"No, not—"
"You do." Bobbie squeezed her hand. "Jason has to see that a long drawn out custody battle isn't in anyone's best interest. He may drag Michael through this and lose—"
"I can't ask him to change his mind about AJ," Elizabeth cut in, her tone sharp. "Don't ask me to use what little connection I have with Jason to do that. I know AJ isn't a bad person, I know how much he's worked on himself, but I can't pretend Jason's fears aren't real—"
"I just want Jason to be realistic about his chances. Elizabeth, if you care about Jason—"
"I have to get to work." Elizabeth got to her feet. "I'll talk to him, Bobbie. But this has to be his decision." She bit her lip. "Did you tell Jason that you wanted him to make a deal with the Quartermaines? Does he know this is how you feel?"
"I mentioned it at the reading," Bobbie admitted. "Just…be his friend, Elizabeth. He needs someone on his side."
The trouble was, Elizabeth though as she left the kitchen and grabbed her purse from the front room, that she couldn't very keep her distance from Jason and preserve a light, superficial friendship with him if she was constantly feeling pressured to be more.
And it was important that she stayed light and easy this time. Like the first few months of their friendship—she couldn't afford anything more.
Not now. And not ever again.
Alexis's Office
"You don't think I'd win in court," Jason said after a long moment, tossing his copy of Carly's will on Alexis's desk. "You agree with Bobbie."
"I have to be honest with you," Alexis said, her eyes understanding. "I think it depends on the next few weeks. At the moment, AJ is sober, with a good, steady job. A stable marriage to a perfectly lovely young woman. He comes from a well-respected family. Yes, he's had issues with alcohol before but nothing on his record. You can bring up the accident, but that's six years ago and he was never charged."
"Because the Quartermaines covered for him—"
"When you add in the fact that AJ voluntarily surrendered his parental rights in order to give Michael a stable life after not being involved for so long, it makes him look like he has Michael's best interests in heart. He hasn't filed yet, he's giving Michael space—"
"And the next head he bashes into a rock might be Michael's," Jason said, his teeth clenched. "Only he might not ever wake up. Is that a risk you want to take?"
"What we do have on our side is that AJ did agree to give up Michael a year ago. He did allow Carly to have full custody after the divorce. He's only been in his son's life for about eight months out of five years." Alexis hesitated. "However—"
"They'll mention that first year I was lying about Michael's paternity, which isn't going to look good for me." Jason rubbed his face. "Even if we tried to spin that—"
"AJ could ask Robin to come in from Paris and testify to exactly what you told her about why you were lying. It'll show you knew." Alexis bit her lip. "What about character witnesses? Elizabeth Webber lives at the Brownstone. Does she have anything to offer about AJ not being suitable? The two of you are friends, aren't you?"
"We haven't really talked about it, but she's also friends with Courtney, and I think—" He was pretty sure Elizabeth half-agreed with Alexis and Bobbie. She might even think AJ was a good person. She had a soft heart.
But good people didn't destroy lives.
"Jason, I know how much you care for Michael, and I want to do right by you. I just—I'd be giving you bad legal advice if I told you we had a slam dunk on our hands. We have to hope AJ screws up before this comes to court. Or you have to come to another agreement with him. Supervised visitation—"
"No, I'll—I'll figure something out." Jason rose to his feet. "Thanks, Alexis. I know you didn't like Carly much, but—"
"I like you," Alexis said after a long moment. "You've always been a good client, Jason. I'll do my best for you and Michael." She bit her lip. "And I hate to admit it, but this time—"
"It might not be enough," he finished. "Yeah, I'm getting that."
Kelly's: Dining Room
The beauty of having an actual best friend who knew all the dark places inside, who argued with you when you were lying to yourself was that somehow, she was always on your side.
Elizabeth sighed as she finished relating the conversation with Bobbie to her best friend and hoped they weren't going to argue again.
"So, what are you going to do?" Gia folded her arms and leaned over the counter. "I mean, Bobbie's not wrong. There's, like, no way Jason can win in court. He's the biological uncle, yeah, but he doesn't exactly scream stable father."
"Jason was a great father when he had Michael," Elizabeth retorted. "Michael should be so lucky—" She stopped and shook her head. "I'm sorry. I didn't—"
"I challenged your man's honor. I got what I deserved," Gia said with a wicked smirk. So maybe they weren't going to argue today, but Gia would still get her licks in.
"I really hate you." Elizabeth poured water into a coffee pot as she considered for a moment. "I don't know. I mean, Jason's getting the same spiel from Bobbie and Alexis. What could I even add? Am I supposed to make it worse?"
"You're supposed to be his friend," Gia said. She tilted her head. "You say that's all you are now, but you're not exactly acting that way. Friends get involved when people are about to get their lives shattered. If Jason goes to court, if he loses, that's it. AJ will never let him see Michael."
"I know." And if that happened, not only would Jason lose Michael to AJ again, he'd feel guilty about letting Carly down, about not protecting Michael. And if something happened to Michael because of it…
"You're going to have to stop pretending you're going to be able to stay neutral," Gia continued. "There is no neutral. You can be with AJ and Courtney—and that's fine. You can be with Jason, that's fine, too. But you can't be on both sides."
"Why can't I be on Michael's side?" Elizabeth asked, exasperated. "No one is one hundred percent right here, you know? I think AJ would be insane if he kept Michael from Jason. That's a connection, a link to Michael's mother that's necessary. Important. And Jason's not wrong for being worried that AJ might not stay sober. That Michael might be put in danger. But—"
"But maybe Jason isn't thinking about Michael." Gia shrugged. "AJ's never hurt Michael as far as we know. Or anyone else, not really. Other than himself. You know who he did hurt? Jason Quartermaine. He killed his brother. And the man in his place has spent his entire life so far knowing he's only here, that he's only in existence because AJ crashed that car. When he pictures what might happen to Michael, he's thinking about that—about rebuilding his life from the bottom up."
Elizabeth bit her lip. "I know that people might think Jason is being unreasonable—"
"Who said that?" Gia lifted her brows. "First of all, I think Jason has a fantastic reason to never want to lay eyes on his brother again. Did you not hear the part where I said AJ destroyed Jason's life? I've only lived in Port Charles for five minutes, but I see the way people talk about Jason Quartermaine. It's the way my mother always talked about Marcus. Why couldn't I be like my brother? He was smart, kind—he was going places."
"The way my parents treated Sarah." Even now, after all these years, she knew Alan and Monica Quartermaine hadn't really reconciled themselves to the son they had now no matter how much they tried.
"Exactly." Gia jabbed a finger at her. "It's easy to look at Jason and only see the hot guy with a fast bike and a lot of money. But he worked his ass off to be someone else. Do you remember when Tony came over the other day and tried to talk Bobbie into cooperating with the Quartermaines? It's not the first time they had that conversation, based on how much yelling we could hear upstairs. But the way he talked about Jason—the words he used—"
"Tony's an ass," Elizabeth muttered. She could still hear the rage, the bitterness in Tony's voice as he'd called Jason a brain-damaged thug. A nothing. A nobody. Whatever sympathy Tony had had for Bobbie was clearly not as fervent as his hatred for Jason. He would always loathe the man who had stolen Michael from him. "Gia—"
"I know the way my brother talks about him. He makes him sound like nothing. Anger Boy, right? From before Jason figured out how to control himself." Gia shrugged. "Jason Morgan has been around for six years, and for every one of those years, he's been seen as less by the people in this town who should have had some damn compassion for him. I don't blame Jason for wanting to protect Michael from that. I mean, is he overreacting? Maybe."
"But, in his heart, he's still Michael's father, and that's his job," Elizabeth murmured. "Damn it."
"You're going to have to get involved, Webber." Gia arched her brow. "What are you so scared of?"
Elizabeth bit her lip and sighed, because it was pointless to keep pretending there wasn't more behind her desire to keep her life simple, and Gia knew that better than anyone. And it didn't serve either of them for her to lie about it anymore. "I think you and I both know the answer."
"That you'll find yourself broken and have to rebuild from the ground up all over again for, like, the twelfth time? Yeah. I get it." Gia leaned forward, a wicked glint in her eyes. "Aren't you tired of playing it safe?"
"Not even a little bit." Elizabeth offered her friend a half smile. "I'll do what I have to do, but it stops there. Jason wants to protect Michael, and I'll help him do that. But I have to protect myself. No one else will do it for me."
"As long as you know you're doing it. I don't care if you stay away from Jason, Elizabeth. I care if you're lying to yourself. You're not doing that, so we can shelve it for now." Gia reached in her bag, "Now excuse me, I have my last final tomorrow, and I might survive it if I have enough coffee." She stopped and looked at Elizabeth. "Don't think this conversation is over. You can play it safe all you want, but you know that's not going to work for long."
"But I do have a final tomorrow, and I have to go worry about my life for bit. I'll come back to yours when the semester is over."
Quartermaine Estate: Living Room
Edward Quartermaine was flirting with a heart attack as he raged at his two eldest grandsons. He was berating AJ for ever getting involved with that damned floozy, for Ned for talking him out of filing his own custody suit and just having the temerity to be in this room and not out there fighting for Michael—
"Mark my words, if we wait much longer, Jason will take him out of the country and that will be the end of it," Edward jabbed his finger at AJ.
"Jason isn't going to do that," Ned said, his tone calm. Even disinterested. AJ wondered how his cousin managed to stay detached from Edward's bullshit. Because he hadn't grown up in this house? Is that why Ned seemed to escape the worst of the poison?
"Why the hell not?" Edward demanded. "He's done everything he can to keep that boy from this family—he has legal guardianship—what's stopping him?"
Ned hesitated and looked to AJ. AJ shrugged. He didn't know how to explain his own conviction that his brother didn't intend to steal Michael away in the night. Since the moment the truth had come out, Jason had done everything by the book. He'd gone to court to keep custody, yeah, but when the time came to surrender it, he'd done so.
Except when he'd blackmailed AJ into giving Carly full custody after the divorce, but AJ had himself to blame for that after setting the warehouse on fire. He had deserved that punishment.
It had been Sonny that hung him on the goddamn meat hook and threatened his life for no other reason than Carly wanted him out of Michael's life for good. But Jason had never threatened AJ's life.
"Grandfather, I just don't think Jason would do that," Ned continued when AJ had nothing to offer. "He wouldn't do it to Bobbie for one thing."
"Oh, I'm counting on the kindness of thugs—" Edward dismissed this theory with a wave of his hand.
AJ had heard that phrase, or a variation of it, a thousand times since Jason had gone to work for Sonny. Thug. Criminal. Degenerate. Worthless. And yet, somehow, in this moment—he couldn't listen to it anymore. He'd reached his boiling point.
"Don't call him that," AJ said.
At his grandson's quiet command, Edward broke off his rambling rage, blinked, and looked at him. "Excuse me?"
"Thug." AJ swallowed. "That's why we're in this mess. Because you—because we drove Jason away. All of us. I may have destroyed Jason Quartermaine, but the reason Jason Morgan isn't part of this family has very little to do with me."
"Oh, hell." Ned closed his eyes. "Here we go."
"Say that again," Edward demanded. He strode toward AJ. "Blame me again for this mess—"
"You drove him away. You rejected him. If you hadn't treated Jason like garbage, if you hadn't made him feel damaged and like nothing, then maybe he would have told Carly to go to hell when she wanted him to lie—" AJ pressed his lips together and swallowed. "Jason didn't think much of me back then, but he didn't hate me. Not me. Not then. It was this family. This house. This suffocation. The constant pressure to be someone we're not—"
"You and your brother had potential!" Edward boomed. "I just pushed you, tried to make you reach it—"
"You've never let me forget that I killed my brother! That I destroyed him! I drank to shut all of you up! And I killed the only member of this family who ever gave a damn about me—" He closed his eyes, his throat tight. "And now that same brother can barely stand to look at me. I'm done looking for your approval. For wanting to be part of this family."
"AJ—" Ned said, holding his hand out. "Hey. Listen—"
"Why the hell have I tried so hard?" AJ demanded. "What's the point? You know, I may not agree with the way Jason lives his life, but I sure as hell understand the direction he took. Away. And that's where I'm going to go."
He turned on his heel and stalked away, telling himself it was the last time he was ever going to pay lip service to his grandfather. He'd get his son back, and he would make sure Michael knew every day of his life that he was loved just for who he was, and not for who he might be if only he were a better person.
His son would be a better man than his father if it was the last thing AJ did.
Gia and Elizabeth's Apartment: Living Room
"This isn't even English," Gia declared as she slammed her book shut in disgust. "How am I supposed to absorb this in time for a test next week?" Before Elizabeth could open her mouth, Gia stabbed a finger at her. "And do not tell me that if I had kept up with my reading and notes all semester—"
"Hey, I don't seem to have your problem and I'm a double major," Elizabeth said sweetly as she highlighted a passage in her textbook. "You think learning the principles of finance in this country is fascinating? You picked your major, suck it up."
"I don't even remember why we're friends," Gia muttered. She grabbed her coffee mug. "You need a refill?"
"Nah, I think I'm switching to some herbal tea." Elizabeth rose. "I'll make it."
Just as Elizabeth set the tea kettle to boil, there was a knock at their door. Gia scowled. "Didn't we warn everyone in existence that we were studying this week? I will have someone's head—"
She yanked open the door and blinked. "Oh. Jason. Hey."
"Hey." Jason hesitated as he took in Gia's pajama pants and tank top. "Is this a bad time?"
"Well, finals are next week and as your friend and mine loves to remind me, I've spent too much time partying and not nearly enough with the books." She sighed. "Webber? You got a visitor!"
"Oh." Elizabeth bit her lip as she stepped out from the small kitchen area into the living room. "Hey, Jason. Gia and I were just—"
"I should have called," he said after a moment. He shifted his weight from one foot to another, looking uncertain. "But—"
"No, I was gonna—" Elizabeth said. She glanced down at her jeans and t-shirt before handing Gia a fresh mug of coffee. "Mind if I bail on you?"
Gia waited a beat, wondering why people worked so hard at making themselves miserable. She could see the way Jason was looking at Elizabeth, trying not to let his interest show, and she saw how Elizabeth flushed and avoided his gaze. Idiots. Well, she was going to do her part and kick them out. "And not have you smugly sailing through your study guides while I drown in reading? By all means, abandon me to educational psychology and constitutional law."
"You mind if we go outside?" Elizabeth asked Jason as she took her purse and a light jacket off a chair.
"Ah, no." Jason stepped back to allow her to leave the apartment in front of him. He looked once more at Gia. "Uh, good luck?"
"I'm going to need it," was the reply as Gia closed the door, but she flashed a smug smile of her own.
Jason followed Elizabeth down the steps and out the side entrance of the Brownstone. She slid her jacket on and turned to him. "What's up?"
"I didn't mean to bother you," Jason said, his hands in the pockets of his leather jacket. "I know how busy you are—"
"Hey. You don't show up on my doorstep at eight at night without a reason, Jason. We're friends," Elizabeth said. And she meant that. She might want to avoid any emotional entanglement with the man, but she would never pretend they didn't have history.
And she liked that Jason could count on her. She didn't have so many friends left in the world that she could afford to jettison a loyal one.
He tipped his head toward the road where his bike was parked. "You want to take a ride?"
Elizabeth bit her lip, and almost said no. Talking here, outside her warm, safe home—that was smart. Protected. Climbing on that bike, wrapping her arms around his broad chest, riding close to him—
But he looked concerned, and she knew he was dealing with a blow after losing Bobbie's support earlier that day, so she swallowed her misgivings. What was the harm in one ride?
Vista Point: Cliff Road
Elizabeth was unsurprised that Jason was taking the turns with a bit less recklessness than she remembered. These were, after all, the last roads Carly had traveled before plunging to her death. She trusted Jason's driving—she knew he'd never be truly reckless with her along, but still she could feel the difference as they leaned into the final curve before reaching the summit at Vista Point.
But instead of revving the engine to make the last climb, the bike began to rumble and slow. He pulled to a stop in front of the mangled guardrail, and turned off the engine.
Silently, they both climbed off the bike and Jason pushed down the stand, taking the helmet from her.
"You haven't been back since you came home, have you?" Elizabeth asked softly, her words nearly disappearing in the winds and sound of water rushing as the lake currents swirled below.
"Couldn't." Jason turned and looked at the guardrail. At this evidence that Carly hadn't merely disappeared, but had, in fact, died.
"Bobbie told me about the will reading." Elizabeth wrapped her arms around her torso as they walked toward the dusty shoulder where Carly's car had, presumably, hung on the precipice. "I'm sorry."
"It wasn't anything I didn't expect." Jason braced his hands on the guardrail and looked out over the harbor. "Carly hated the Quartermaines. It was just like her to try to one up them even when she wouldn't be here to see it."
Elizabeth bit her lip "Bobbie wanted me to talk to you," she said.
"I thought she might." Jason turned, and they continued their silent walk. He'd stopped just short of the turn off for the parking lot for Vista Point's summit view and park, but neither of them suggested they climb back on the bike and take it to the top.
"I'm supposed to, I don't know, make you see that it's going to be painful and there's no guarantee you'll even win." Elizabeth sighed. "I'm not gonna do that, Jason."
She heard him sigh as they crossed the highway, empty now as it usually was this time of night. There was nothing up this way save for the views at Vista Point, and it wasn't a popular location anyway. It wasn't high enough to be truly impressive, and there were more majestic views of the lake and harbor elsewhere in town.
So, she wasn't surprised to find the parking lot deserted or the see empty benches and walkaways that dotted the summit of the hill.
He was quiet until they sat on one of those benches, the view of the harbor comforting to her even with the Gothic mess of Wyndemere looming out of the mists of Spoon Island.
"Why not?" he asked. "You're not wrong. Alexis has described in great detail that I'm not likely to keep the guardianship intact when AJ challenges it."
That thread of defeat, even resignation in his tone, stirred her. Jason didn't quit. He didn't give up. "Bobbie means well, and you know Alexis is on your side."
"What about you?"
She didn't answer at first, because she could feel, maybe for the first time, that maybe she did have influence over Jason. What if she told him right now that he should give in? That AJ wasn't all bad, and maybe Jason was being too protective?
"I think you have to do what's right for Michael," Elizabeth said carefully. "He's what matters."
Jason leaned back against the wooden slats of the bench, stretching his arm along the side. "You've spent time with him. What do you think is right?"
He would have to ask the difficult question. "I don't know," she said. "He's a bright little boy, you know? He loves living with Bobbie. He loves Lucas. I mean, the kid is his uncle technically, but Michael looks up to him like an older brother. And Lucas is so good with him. He never had much use for Carly—I can't blame him there—but he's been kind to Michael. Whatever happens, I hope Bobbie and Lucas can remain a vital part of his life."
She waited a moment. "But that's not what you want me to tell you. You want me to tell you're right to keep Michael from AJ. That you should fight tooth and nail to keep custody."
"I want you tell me what you think," Jason said. He looked at her, his eyes sober and steady. "I've been home two weeks, and I've seen you. I know you spend time with Michael. That you care about him. But I know you're friends with Courtney, that you know AJ as her husband and not just—"
"Emily's older brother." Or the devastating drunk, but that she left unspoken. Elizabeth hesitated, considering her words. "I can tell you honestly that the AJ I've known since Courtney came into his life is the best version. I haven't seen him slur his words, there's no hint that he's drinking. I know he fought with Edward, Alan, and Monica after he married Courtney and stopped going after custody. Courtney isn't sure, but she thinks that they left the mansion because he wouldn't leave her. They found an apartment with his savings. He studied hard to get a license to operate a forklift, and as far as anyone knows, he's doing well at his job.
"But," she continued, "I'm worried he married Courtney to dig at Sonny. That his motives weren't altogether pure. He's been good to her, he treats her well, but I worry that it's a smoke screen. That if his marriage falters, it might change things. I honestly don't know, Jason. I worry that his sobriety is temporary. That he still struggles with the Quartermaines. I think we both know they're a heavy trigger in his drinking." She leaned against the back of the bench, propping her elbow on the top, and sliding her fingers through her hair. "I honestly can't tell you what I think should happen."
"A court may still decide to give him custody."
"They might," Elizabeth admitted. "I don't have a lot of experience with this, but Gia's been asking some friends of hers who intern in a family law firm. With Carly gone, and without any good reason, a family court judge might err on the side of the father. She said that courts also don't…they don't appreciate when one parent goes to extreme lengths to cut a biological parent out of their life, and—"
"Carly did that in spades. Yeah, Alexis mentioned that, and the fact that I helped—" He scrubbed his face. "How long do you think AJ will wait before he files?"
"Honestly? Maybe until Memorial Day. Michael finishes his school year then, and I know part of the reason he's waited is to give Bobbie space and keep Michael's life relatively stable. Not having to move during the school year would be a good idea." She bit her lip. "I'm sorry, Jason. I don't feel like I'm being much help."
"You are," he assured her. "And I'm not mad at Bobbie or Alexis. If I make AJ take this to court, then Michael gets dragged into counseling, into court rooms. He'll spend weeks talking to people. It'll upset him. If I do any of that, it has to be for the right reason. I can't— I can't do that to him just because I—"
Because he wanted to keep him, Elizabeth finished, but she offered another suggestion so Jason wouldn't have to admit how much he just wanted to be Michael's father. "Because it's what Carly would have wanted."
"This is harder than I thought it'd be," Jason admitted. "I thought—when I found out Carly was gone—I knew she'd leave me custody, but I always intended to leave him with Bobbie. I mean, I'd be around if he needed me, but I didn't expect—" He hesitated, but this time Elizabeth didn't step in to finish his thought. She had a feeling he was struggling towards a conclusion he didn't want to admit, but it would be the best thing for him if Jason was the one to articulate this.
"I didn't expect AJ to be…" He paused again and looked at her, but she wouldn't do this for him. "Doing well," he finally managed, which was close enough to the truth.
"You have time to consider this," Elizabeth told him. "As long as AJ waits to file, you have time."
"Yeah." Jason exhaled slowly. "There's—there's another reason I came over tonight. Why I wanted to see you."
Despite herself, her heart began to race slightly. "Oh?" she asked, hating how breathless her voice sounded. "What's up?"
"Zander," Jason said, his face tightening. "The other day at Kelly's—"
"We talked about it," Elizabeth said dismissively, feeling a mixture of relief and disappointment that it was a mundane reason after all. "He's an ass."
"Who might be getting worse," Jason told her. "I can't give you many details, but until I came home—Zander was—" He hesitated, probably trying to think of how to explain something illegal to her in a way that wouldn't sound illegal. "He was up for a promotion."
A smile tugged at the corner of her lips. "Oh, yeah? A corner office with a view of the harbor?"
Jason, despite himself, offered a half smile. "Something like that. It would have—it would have been lucrative for him. I shut it down. I don't trust him, and I don't want him in a position to do more harm."
"Okay," Elizabeth drawled. "So that explains why he was pissed at you." She sighed, sitting up straight and tucking her leg underneath her. "Let me guess, he can't come at you directly for derailing his climb up the ladder, but harassing me is a handy way to deal with his annoyance."
"He didn't know yet for sure that I was…going to block him," Jason told her. "He probably suspected it, but now he knows for sure."
"Which means he might amp up his annoying behavior." Elizabeth pursed her lips. "Yeah, I don't have time for that in my life. We have a week to week tenant lease on most of the rooms at Kelly's, except for Lucky, because he's Bobbie's family. But I can give Zander a week's notice." She looked at him. "Or should I not evict him? If he's at Kelly's, you know where he is. You can keep an eye on him."
"I'd rather he be anywhere but Kelly's," Jason admitted, "and I was gonna suggest you might kick him out, but I don't know if I like giving him a concrete reason to dislike you. Not when he's already going to be pissed at me. Don't—don't do anything about it yet. I'll put some eyes on the diner. You'll let me know if he bothers you?"
"I can handle him, Jason," she started to protest.
"You shouldn't have to when it has nothing to do with you," Jason told her, holding up a hand to stop her. "I know he's not likely to do any serious harm to you. He's an idiot, but he has enough street smarts to know—" He stopped short, but she wondered at what threat he might have leveled to Emily's ex-boyfriend if it became necessary. Better she be left in the dark.
"I'll let you know," she said finally. "I should be getting home. I have an early class."

Top 7 Reasons to consider a whole house fan
1.Health concerns A tightly constructed home traps toxic air which can lead to serious health issues. A whole house fan moves unhealthy air out of the house.
2.Cost. A whole house fan can run day and night for pennies.
3.Refreshed air vs. re-circulated air. A house needs to breathe. A whole house fan allows it to do so; an air conditioner doesn't.
4.Allergies. Many people with allergies can't tolerate an air-conditioned environment.
5.Aesthetics. A whole house fan sits unseen in an attic or utility closet.
6.Noise. Our modern whole house fans do their work quietly and efficiently.
7. 'Natural' temperature relief. Alterative cooling brings in outside air to cool your home without the negative effects of air conditioning.

Perhaps the passing of a few years provides an opportunity for a somewhat more appreciative engagement with the content of Rick Warren's purpose-driven projects.
Back in 2005 this four-part review of both The Purpose-Driven® Life: What on Earth Am I Here For?, and The Purpose-Driven® Church: Growth Without Compromising Your Message and Mission, was published in Christian Renewal, a magazine of news and commentary serving Reformed and Presbyterian churches in North America.
The potentially provocative claims found in the review include this:
[T]he tendency to reduce the practice of covenant living to inter-generational family relationships seems to have led many Reformed believers to live and act as if relationships within the church do not matter, especially in terms of accountability, participation, and service.
And this:
Could it be—God forbid, but could it be—that one reason for our merciless criticism and ruthless carping about suggestions advanced by non-Reformed people, people like Rick Warren and Promise Keepers and a long line of other would-be-reformers, is that we'd rather not face the weaknesses they seek to expose? Could it be that as church members, we don't want to be accountable to others in the church, since, in truth, our family is really our pride and joy, really all that matters? Could it be that we are quite satisfied with reducing "covenant" to the family, especially if that allows us to hide from others outside our own family our verbal ruthlessness, our brutal stubbornness, our authoritarianism, and our self-justifying rigidity—for all of which sins we allow no one to hold us accountable?
That's the sandpaper scrubbing needed to ready the fine piece of wood for a new coat of varnish. The last coat looks like this:
In summary, this biblical image of growth supplies both churches and individuals with an eschatological perspective that encompasses a future history and emboldens both churches and individuals to cultivate a vision of task and goals designed to assist us in traveling toward that future.
In short, the essay summons us to a practiced eschatology—to an intentional way of life that envisions and pursues purposeful relational living in our churches and homes.

Show a 2000 word instance which critically evaluates the targeting of Colin Stagg as a suspect in the condemnable probe of the 1992 slaying of Rachel Nickell including his apprehension, interviewing and subsequent acquittal in 1994. You should critically measure the probes adopted scheme and its subsequent impact.
Probe and condemnable profiling
In July 1992, Rachel Nickell was attacked and murdered, her pharynx was cut, and she was stabbed 49 times so sexually assaulted. The sensitiveness and inhuman treatment of this instance from the beginning, constabulary faced force per unit area from the populace and media to work out it. The probe was carried out by Scotland Yard officers of the Metropolitan Police. After roll uping grounds from a offense scene, there was no Deoxyribonucleic acid found, which means that there was no forensic grounds to associate any suspect with the offense scene ( Evans 1992 ) .
The Metropolitan Police reached for aid and advice from Paul Britton, a condemnable psychologist, as profiling is largely used in those instances where constabulary hold merely a few hints ( Britton 1997 ) . It uses combination of psychological procedures and theories with probe to make wrongdoer profiling, geographical analysis of the offense location and wrongdoer, advises on interaction with media and supplying interview schemes ( Stelfox 2009 ) .
The work of Paul Britton can be criticised on the basic evidences, as it looked like he was taking the probe or had excessively much powers form research workers alternatively of merely offering the aid to research workers to profile unknown suspect. Paul Britton was accused of transgressing the British Psychological Society 's codification of behavior when he helped the Metropolitan Police investigators to plan and carry on the operation 'Ezdell ' , a 'honey trap ' ( Morris 2002 ) .
Paul Britton gave a item description of a suspect and directed the probe to Colin Stagg. However, the chief purpose of profiling is non to supply information for the constabulary about who precisely committed a specific offense as reference earlier, but to do anticipations and suggestions about the most likely features, societal and psychological appraisal of the wrongdoer ( Ainsworth 2001, Holmes and Holmes 1996 ) .
Paul Britton 's work and engagement in this instance can be criticised harmonizing to Gudjonsson 's statement, that condemnable psychologists tend to work on chances, suggestions and anticipations, whereas constabulary operate in footings of comforter or artlessness, it is like a black and white scenario. It besides means that the individual labelled a suspect, Britton provided profile of Colin Stagg labelled as a possible suspect, will be presumed guilty until proved inexperienced person ( Gudjonsson 1992 ) .
'Honey-trap ' :
The Metropolitan Police carried out the covert operation merely to see if Stagg will extinguish or imply himself. An clandestine constabulary adult female from the Metropolitan Police 's Particular Operation Group played function of covert human intelligence beginning ( CHIS ) . She had to set up and keep a relationship with Stagg to roll up information about his sexual and violent phantasies ( Stelfox 2009 ) . Due to his 'psychological profile ' of a liquidator he was supposed to squeal and delight his deepest secrets ( Roberts and Zuckerman 2004 ) .
In his letters he talked about violent phantasies and over the phone described that he enjoyed aching people. During the covert operation Stagg ne'er admitted to slaying Rachel Nickell. However, Britton was confident about Stagg 's guilt and received an advice from Crown Prosecution Service 's attorneies. Once once more Britton 's function went beyond doing anticipations and suggestions about most possible features of the suspect ( Ainsworth 2001, Holmes and Holmes 1996 ) . He leaded the probe. Police besides believed that those groundss would be sufficient in tribunal and warrant strong belief, after audience with Britton. Colin Stagg was arrested and charged with Rachel Nickell 's slaying in August 1993 ( Evans 1992 and Cohen 1999 ) .
The instance of Colin Stagg was seen as a text edition illustration of the unethical usage of profiling and the maltreatment of powers ( Turvey 2008 and Ormerod 1999 ) , because the probe was concentrated on happening the suspect and so building the probe alternatively of look intoing the offense scene and carry oning probe. In the other words, that 's an illustration of a instance building to bear down the suspect ( Maguire and Norris 1992 ) .
However, the full and sophisticated psychological trap was created by Britton. Stagg was manipulated, entrapped, enticed and promised an matter with a beautiful adult female merely if he would squeal. Simply talking, the purpose of the operation was to flim-flam Stagg into confession. Britton 's manner of building the covert operation, intimations during the interview and analyzing his reactions were unethical ( Cohen 1999, Evans 1992 and Morris 2002 ) .
Besides an clandestine operation was seen as misconceived and the Metropolitan Police tried to imply a suspect by delusory and unprofessional behavior to have a confession, entrapment and profiling grounds were excluded and the instance was withdrew by the prosecution ( Ainsworth 2001, Cohen 1999, Evans 1992 and Johnson 2006 ) .
Arrest and interviewing:
An debut of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 determined many illegal activities of British investigators and introduced rudimentss alterations in nearing and questioning suspect in the interview room. It is necessary to retrieve that inappropriate interviewing techniques may ensue that a truly guiltless individual will do a confession ( Ainsworth 2001 and Cherryman, Bull and Vrij 2002 ) .
In Colin Stagg 's instance, Paul Britton, gave specific advice to the constabulary about the best manner to carry on an interview with a suspect and how to near him. Those advices were concentrated on the manner how to carry a suspect to squeal. Stagg 's interview lasted for three yearss and during the question suspect 's behavior was contradictory and sometimes confounding. Harmonizing to Britton, his denials were implicative his basic intelligence degree, it did non travel through his head that the suspect may be guiltless ( Ainsworth 2001 ) .
Stagg was detained in detention for questioning for three yearss, nevertheless a suspect can non be detained in the detention for longer than 24h without being charged, or it can be extended to 36h with the authorization of constabulary overseer. If there is non adequate grounds to bear down the suspect, he/she demand to be released on bond. Harmonizing to those three scenarios, Stagg 's detainments in detention would be improper, but in instance of slaying charges, a suspect may be refused release and remain in the detention until the trail ( Home Office 2010 ) .
Trial, strong belief and eventual acquittal:
There was no forensic grounds associating Colin Stagg with a offense scene, informant said to the constabulary that saw him or a adult male really like him on the twenty-four hours of Rachel Nickell 's slaying – that seems to be plenty for the Metropolitan Police to label Stagg as a suspect. The Metropolitan Police officers were under high force per unit area from the media and public to acquire a strong belief and tend to misused powers of the scientific discipline of condemnable profiling. They examined and rejected 547 suspects but still have no thought who killed Rachel Nickell. Undercover female constabulary officer tried to acquire Stagg to squeal to Rachel Nickell 's slaying, by promoting Stagg to speak about his sexual and violent phantasies, assuring to hold sexual intercourse with him if his was the 1 who killed Rachel Nickell. Months of clandestine work produced nil, Stagg ne'er admitted to slaying and knifing to decease Rachel Nickell.
The constabulary decided to do an apprehension and charge Colin Stagg with a slaying based on the intelligence collected during the clandestine operation. Prosecution withdrew the instance and Stagg was acquitted in 1994 ( Ainsworth 2001, Cohen 1999 ) .
Cold instance reappraisal and new suspect:
In 2002, the Scotland Yard constabularies used their cold instance reappraisal squad to hold another expression at the Rachel Nickell killing. Military officers analysed witness statements, checked files for possible suspects and hunt for a connexion between other offenses. They besides compared Rachel Nickell 's hurts with other victims and contacted Forensic Science Service about new methods of DNA fiting techniques ( Tendler 2007 ) .
Latest techniques were used to take microscopic atoms of victim 's Deoxyribonucleic acid from the vesture and tested them in the research lab to bring forth a lucifer. The lucifer did non belong to victim 's spouse or boy. Sample was helpful to extinguish some of the suspects, but was deficient to supply designation ( Leppard 2007 ) .
In 2006, the Scotland Yard squad interview convicted sex slayers in Bradmoor Hospital. Robert Napper was interviewed was interviewed three times by the slaying squad. Year subsequently, Nappel was charged with Rachel Nickell 's slaying and he pleaded non guilty ( O'Neill 2007 ) .
In 2008 Robert Nappel was found guilty of manslaughter of Rachel Nickell on the evidences of lessened duty ( Leppard 2007 and Dodd 2007 ) .
Robert Nappel and series constabulary mistakes:
Robert Nappel was besides known as Plumstead Ripper, was suspected of up to 40 violent raped, but has ne'er admitted to them. Police started their 'gross mistakes in judgement ' in 1989 where they failed to cover with Nappel 's female parent claim who reported that Nappel admitted to ravishing a adult female ( Casciani 2010 ) . Police officers could hold arrest him before he assaulted and murdered more adult female, but alternatively merely ignored the claim ( News London 2010 ) .
He was eliminated as a suspect from Rachel Nickell 's slaying because he was non frequently in that country of London. However, Metropolitan Police did non checked Nappel 's yesteryear and current activities or engagement. In fact he knew the country good because he was go toing for the psychiatric intervention in the nearby clinic. That was another error made by constabularies which could salvage adult females 's life.
There were few state of affairss where Metropolitan Police officers did non joined the points and saw Napper as a suspect. He was asked twice to give a blood sample for scrutinies in 1992, after phone calls from neighbors that Napper looks like a wanted raper. Every clip, Napper failed to turn up and after few hebdomads he was eliminated from the suspects because his tallness did non suit the description.
After few months he was arrested for stalking a adult female from the local constabulary station. The constabulary searched his level and found handguns, ammo, information about how to keep person, maps of London, and his private journal which included addressed of old victims. If the constabulary would associate Nappel 's properties found in the level with Rachel Nickell 's slaying, other local slayings, so Nappel hopefully would be arrested quicker. Nappel 's victims were restrained, their addressed were in his personal journal and he besides knew how to commune to their houses. However, Napper was merely given short tutelary sentence and during the test, mentions about his mental province were made. No farther actions were taken and he walked free from the constabulary once more.
Year subsequently, he attacked guiltless adult females once more, raped and stabbed her to decease. After 6 months his finger prints were found in victim 's level, but harmonizing to Britton and his perfect policing accomplishments, the scenario was different and he was free once more. In 1999 he was arrested for the above slaying on the evidences of lessened duty.
The Metropolitan Police failed to halt Nappel from perpetrating awful killing many times as shown above and he remained free for old ages. That was an illustration of catalogue bad determinations ' and major mistakes that allowed Nappel to slay guiltless adult females. The constabulary did non associate few points together to see overall image of paranoid schizophrenic 's actions ( BBC News 2008, Dodd 2007, Leppard 2007, Laville 2008, Laville, Siddique, Percival and Sturcke 2008 and Sinclair 2010 ) .
The Independent Police Complains Commission ( IPCC )
IPCC released a study in June 2010 about the actions of the Metropolitan Police Service in relation to managing the Rachel Nickell 's slaying. Their actions were described as 'catalogue of Ba determinations ' which allowed Napper to kill his victims. Police failed to respond when Nappel 's female parent called to describe that her boy raped a miss, he merely continued to walk freely on the street s and pick new victims. They missed serious and clearly seeable chances to inquiry and apprehension existent slayer, committed awful errors that resulted in guiltless adult females being murdered and several adult females suffered violent sexual onslaughts ( Holden 2010 and Maynard 2010 ) .

"Before your products, especially the wash, I was having a hard time with the skin under my beard breaking out due to me sweating at work. I was honestly about to give up on all beard products because nothing I bought was helping. I tried over 20 different beard brands, even had owners in beard groups send me a few products for free swearing they would help, but nothing ever did. I just happened to scroll past your post or ad about your wash saying it was antifungal which lead me to your website which is when I decided to try your beard oil samples that lead to the bigger order about a week later. I just wanted to let you know that the wash and beard products have damn near cleared up the skin under my beard. I honestly can't thank you enough for the products.

Incidents Overview dashlet
The Incidents dashlet is the entry point for managing and querying incident information across all System Profiles.
By default, the dashlet filter is configured to show new and unconfirmed incidents of the last 3 days. Notification based on incident rules provides more flexibility than notification based on thresholds, because incident rules can define complex conditions, so they provide the capability to generate notifications only if two or more measure values exceed their thresholds simultaneously.
Incident notifications are useful starting points for performance analysis. See Incidents and Alerting for more information about incidents.
As the following figure shows, the Incidents dashlet lists each incident rule that was violated.
To display details in a popup window, double-click the incident or right-click it and select Details from the context menu.
Incident state and incident rule state
The icon to the left of an incident or incident rule (1) denotes the incident's severity.
Incident count
If an incident rule was violated multiple times, all incidents that have a state of new and a severity of warning or severe are listed individually below the incident rule. The incident count is appended in parentheses to the incident rule name.
Incidents with a state of new are listed in boldface. The total of all new incidents is appended to the System Profile name (2).
The History column (3) shows a heat field that charts the occurrences of an incident in the configured time frame. Hold the mouse pointer over a bar to display details in a popup window.
To copy an active incident into a new Incidents dashlet, right-click the incident and select Drill Down > Incidents.
To chart an active incident in a Charts dashlet, double-click the incident to open the Details popup window, and click Show Measures in Chart.
Table columns
These columns are displayed by default:
- Name: The names of the System Profiles, incident rules, and incidents,
- History: The heat field representation of incidents in the specified timeframe.
- Start Time: The date and time the incident began.
- Duration: The duration of the incident.
- End Time: The date and time the incident ended.
- Source: The incident source (<Agent>@<Host>).

The following columns are hidden by default.
- Confirmation Message: The confirmation message entered by the user that confirmed the incident.
- Sensitivity: The configured sensitivity setting of the incident rule.
- Conditions: The conditions that trigger the incident rule.
- Thresholds: The measure threshold settings of the incident rule.
