In a previous Post I stated the date for the release of Citrix Access Gateway 4.2 would be a week after iForum in Vegas - but that quite plainly didn't happen. It now appears that Citrix have settled on the 27th of November as the date for the release of the 4.2 code.
For anyone working on rolling out AG's and attendant AAC's you might want to at least prep your clients that there will be quite a change to the NAV UI (It's now going to be called the NAN UI???) and it changes from the Orange colours to something more in keeping with the branding of the WI 4 model in that it's white with a red line across the top.
It's also changing from being "tree or folder" looking to something that looks like it divides the page up in to 3 separate columns under the title banner, one for Published Apps, one for Shares, and another one that I can't remember ;-)
Anyway, the gist of this is that the User Interface will be changing, and from a non-Techie's point of view it will be drastic. So it's probably a good idea to go ahead and get your Pilot in and sorted - but only deployed to the IT Staff for another 5 weeks or so....
Good Luck

i like the slight soft/bendable prop guards. they can damp crash's a bit. but have also a break point, and I didn't found any spare parts for that model. (see image: drops from 1m height onto grass) pro: you have two rows for mounting your stacks. cons: but it's hard to connect your USB or eject your SD card. but it seem this is an issue on all Cineframes not only on this one

text: ?Sacrificing something can have a very positive outcome, as long as it is done for the right reasons. It can make someone's day, or even change their life for the better. However, when done for selfish and inconsiderate reasons, it can be extremely detrimental. Throughout the entirety of Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Macbeth, Lady Macbeth changes from a strong, dominating woman, to a shadow of her former self, as she sacrifices herself and her husband in order to fulfill her wants. When the audience first meets her, she is powerful and strong. She sacrifices herself to evil spirits, in order to convince Macbeth to kill King Duncan. Furthermore, she sacrifices her relationship with Macbeth, by manipulating and insulting him. This causes him to become more ruthless than her, and exclude her from his malicious plans. In addition, Lady Macbeth sacrifices her happiness, as well as Macbeth's, as they becomeunhappy and guilty after the murder takes place. Lastly, she sacrifices her mental health, by concealing her feelings, which causes her to sleepwalk and hallucinate.?When Lady Macbeth is first introduced in the play, she is perceived as strong and controlling. As soon as she reads the letter Macbeth sent her explaining about the witches' prophecies, she realizes that Macbeth "is too full o' th' milk of human kindness" (I, v, 17). She believes that he is to kind and innocent, and will not willingly cause any harm to King Duncan. This does not fit her plans of becoming royalty, so she calls on evil spirits to help her with the task of killing King Duncan. She says, "Come, you spirits / That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, / And fill me from the crown to the toe top – full / Of direst cruelty. Make thick my blood" (I, v, 47-50). She is trying to prepare herself for the murder of King Duncan, by getting help from these spirits. This shows that she is willing to do anything, including sacrificing herself to evil beings, to help Macbeth become king. Lady Macbeth is even willing to get rid of her feminine qualities, and become more manly, to get the job done. She does not care how evil or ruthless she needs to become, as long as she becomes Queen of Scotland. ?Furthermore, Lady Macbeth becomes Macbeth's driving force, by manipulating him into murdering King Duncan. Shesacrifices her relationship with Macbeth in order to get what she wants by lying to him, and constantly insulting him and his manhood. Lady Macbeth is very deceptive, telling Macbeth that it was his idea to Murder King Duncan in the first place: "What beast was 't then / That made you break this enterprise to me?" (I, vii, 56-58). She then continues to question his masculinity:"When you durst do it, then you were a man;/And be more than you what you were, you would / Be so much more the man…" (I, vii, 56-58). The degrading things she says ultimately causes Macbeth to go through with the murder, as he originally did not want to. This demonstrates how deceptive and manipulating Lady Math can be when she really wants something. She does not care if Macbeth is hurt by what she says, as long as he goes through with her plan. This eventually backfires, as she pushes him too far, to the point where he surpasses her, and becomesmore ruthless and powerful. Macbeth states, "Be innocent of the knowledge, dearest chuck, / Till thou applaud the deed…" (III, ii, 51-52). He does not include Lady Macbeth in his sinister schemes anymore, such as the murder of Banquo, as she is no longer the dominating force in their relationship. This gives her plenty of time to think about the murder of King Duncan, and contemplate her feelings after the deed is done.?In addition, in The Tragedy of Macbeth, Lady Macbeth sacrifices her happiness. She is unhappy with the outcome of the murder, and believes that it is better to be dead, than alive with guilt and anxiety. She says to herself, "Naught's had, all's spent,/ Where our desire is got without content. / 'Tis safer to be that which we destroy/Than by destruction dwell in doubtful joy" (III, ii, 6-9). Lady Macbeth ultimately deceives herself, as she thought that becoming queen would provide her with happiness. Now that she is queen, she finds out that this is not the case. She did not realize that murdering King Duncan would provide her with more suffering and guilt than enjoyment. Lady Macbeth was very quick in deciding that she wanted to kill the king, and did not think about the consequences that would follow. In addition, she realizes that Macbeth feels this way too. Shesacrifices his happiness as well, as he is guilt-ridden and emotionally destroyed by the crime he committed. Lady Macbeth has seen the ways the murder has affected her husband, as he hears voices after he murders King Duncan. Earlier in the play Macbeth says, '"There's one did laugh in 's sleep, and one cried / "Murder"'( II, ii, 30-31). Overall, Lady Macbeth is unhappy as she does not feel satisfied, and she knows that the murder had detrimental effects on Macbeth.?Finally, Lady Macbeth sacrifices her well-being and mental health, as she bottles up her emotions. She does not want to share her guilt and regret with anyone, and decides to focus on comforting Macbeth. After stating her unhappiness, she conceals her inner feelings and comforts Macbeth as he enters, instead of telling him the truth. She says, "Using those thoughts which should indeed have died / With them they think on? Things without all remedy / Should be without regard. What's done is done" (III, ii, 12-14). Keeping emotions bottled up, is not good for someone's mental health, as it causes depression and anxiety further down the road. This is very evident in The Tragedy of Macbeth, as it causes a detrimental downfall in Lady Macbeth's life. She begins to sleepwalk and hallucinate, due to the guilt and anxiety has had built up inside of her during the course of the play. She recalls events from the past, such as the murder or King Duncan, and the murder of Lady Macduff. In addition, she speaks in short choppy sentences, that are not in chronological order. For example, Lady Macbeth states, "Out, dammed spot, out I say! One. Two. / Why then, 'tis time to do 't. Hell is murky. Fie, my / lord, fie, a soldier and afeard…" (V, i, 37-39). Lady Macbeth also hallucinates by seeing blood on her hands, and is constantly trying to clean it off. This demonstrates that she has gone crazy, and can no longer function due to all of her guilt. As Lady Macbeth sleepwalks, she contradicts what she has previously said. For example, earlier in the play she says, "What's done is done" (III, ii, 14). While hallucinating, she says, "What's done cannot be undone" (V, ii, 71). She is revealing her actual thoughts about the murder, and not the things she said to comfort Macbeth. This demonstrates that she has felt guilty since the Murder of Duncan, but succeeded in hiding her true feelings.?The selfish sacrifices that Lady Macbeth makes throughout Shakespeare's play The Tragedy of Macbeth, cause her to change from strong and powerful woman to a much weaker and unstable version of herself. By sacrificing herself to evil spirits, losing her strong relationship with Macbeth, becoming unhappy and bottling up her emotions, Lady Macbeth slowly ruins her life. At the end of the play, she takes her own life because every sacrifice she makes, pushes her to lose her mind. She was guiltridden and could not cope with it any longer, which is what caused her death. Overall, Lady Macbeth slowly deteriorates due to her own sacrifices. Sacrifices can have a negative impact on someone's life if they are used for the wrong intentions, such as Lady Macbeth's. They need to be thought out carefully and planned properly if they are going to affect someone in a positive way. Sacrifices that come from a selfish mind, will always end up causing more harm than good. ?

The Water Tribe
A world premiere play by Don Cummings, directed by Tricia Small.
Claudia is young, parentless, minimally employed, and almost without family or friends but she remains upbeat about her future and confident in her quest to form a personal tribe for herself and her boyfriend Johnny. But Johnny has problems of his own. He has launched into adulthood but still struggles to cut the cord from his concerned mother while searching for a connection to his long-absent father. As the few people Claudia has in her life begin to fall away and the problems in her relationship are laid bare, she teeters on the brink of catastrophe in this searing, darkly funny tragicomedy about the critical importance of community, identity, and home.
The cast will feature (in alphabetical order) Alexandra Daniels, Jon Joseph Gentry, Hannah Prichard, Christopher Reiling, and Jayne Taini.

The United States Federal Communication Commission has officially announced its very first auction of high-band spectrum intended to be used for 5G rollouts. The spectrum in question consists of 1.55GHz worth of frequencies spread across two different auctions. The first will involve spectrum in the 24GHz range, and will be dubbed Auction 101. Auction 102, meanwhile, will be in the 28GHz range. A second set of auctions, meanwhile, will take place across the 37GHz, 39GHz, and 47GHz ranges, with auction names and amounts yet to be announced. Auction 101 is officially underway as of today, and will offer spectrum allotments as two blocks in one county per bid item, with these blocks consisting of 425MHz each. Auction 102 will offer seven blocks of 100MHz per bid item. Auction 101 uses a standard simultaneous multi-round setup wherein bidders will win the specific blocks they're bidding on right then and there, while Auction 102 will be in a two-phase clock auction format where bidders first bid on the amount of spectrum they want, and then winners bid against one another for specific licenses in certain areas and bands.
Background: These auctions are all part of the 5G FAST plan previously announced by the FCC. The idea with that plan is to spread 5G spectrum out and change regulation to make room for easier deployment, with the endgame of ensuring a dearth of spectrum holders have access to 5G spectrum in sufficient amounts for their individual operations. All of this means, ultimately, that spectrum holders will find it easier and cheaper to build out 5G networks than it may have otherwise been, and consumers will have a wider range of better choices when it comes to 5G. To some extent, this plan is already making headway. Using Auction 101 and Auction 102 as an example, the way these two auctions are set up allows spectrum buyers to figure out what areas they want to focus on, and buy up interlocking bits of spectrum in order to allow a range of different deployment styles depending on the kind of hardware they have on hand and what their budgets look like.
Impact: It's worth noting that the spectrum being auctioned right now is going to be among the most hotly contested 5G spectrum, simply because of how conducive it is to being used with small cells, which has been stated as the preferred main 5G buildout method of three of the four major wireless carriers. It will also be useful for fixed 5G, which has the potential to upset the landline broadband industry. 5G offers high enough speeds and bandwidth measures to make it usable as a home and business internet solution, and it may be deployable in areas that would be cost-prohibitive with traditional broadband. Additionally, because small cells and fixed 5G coverage can be deployed for fairly cheap at startup and expanded over time, it's quite possible that prices could be lower than traditional broadband internet, as well. Though it's also possible that the services will be expensive, all it will take to incite a price war is one rogue agent who sells services to customers at or near cost, or uses aggressive promotional pricing. To be sure, both tactics are already quite common in the wireless industry.

Review: Asiana Smartium Business Class Boeing 777 Seoul, Incheon to San Francisco – Flight OZ212
Book your flight on Asiana here.
I had originally booked my flight with United miles as a one-way for 60,000 miles and was curious to try out Air China's 777. However, my flight to Seoul was cancelled that morning as the plane had electrical issues (but left without passengers 30 minutes after the scheduled departure time).
The Asiana gate agents were very friendly (though they barely spoke any English) and quickly offered to re-book me on Asiana 'metal' all the way to San Francisco. The only other same-day business class option was via Hong Kong with Singapore Airlines but that would have kept me 12 hours at Osaka Airport. As much as I'd like to fly Singapore Airlines again, I was put off by the long delay.
I was of course interested in the booking class of my new flight, but all I was able to find out was that it was 'J'. This could have been the booking class or the class of service, but I didn't press for more information and added my frequent flyer number again.
I had never been on an Asiana 777 in business class, although I had taken these flights before:
Review Asiana Business Class Airbus 330 (Intra-Asia, Seattle)
Review Asiana Business Class Boeing 747 (Los Angeles soon with an A380!, Frankfurt)
Asiana First Class
Boeing B747 (Los Angeles, Frankfurt) – I will have to find the old photos 🙂
The 777 features a similar product to what you find at Cathay Pacific. The Smartium Mini Suites are configured in 1-2-1 seats and Asiana only has 16 seats on their 777. They run the same plane from Osaka to Incheon (just a 1.5 hour flight) and onward to San Francisco – so my flight from Osaka would be in the same plane (but different seats) for the entire duration of my flight to the US.
The first leg from Osaka to Seoul featured a full meal served on one tray. I had the steak which was pretty good and almost restaurant-quality. The wine selection was short but the choice of red was excellent.
The entertainment system was fantastic – very responsive and loaded with so many of the latest major movie releases that I took pictures just to see which ones I missed!
After our stop at Seoul's Incheon Airport (where I tried to find good coffee and eventually settled on Starbucks) we boarded again. For this flight, both a long and short blanket and a pillow was ready in addition to an uninspiring amenity kit.
I wasn't quite sure what to do with the short blanket – I tried wrapping it around my shoulders but wasn't very successful.
The Korean dinner served was so exceptional that I could have eaten another portion. I asked for a cheese dessert (from the Western menu) and my wish was granted 🙂
The cabin was almost full so I was surprised my wish came through.
After dinner I reclined my seat and watched "Anchorman 2" and after a couple of laughs fell asleep. I was able to sleep really well on the flat seat. It's harder than a Cathay Pacific seat and maybe a little shorter but I was able to lie on my stomach and dream away. I slept about 6 hours and had no back pain to report 🙂
I had little interaction with the flight attendants overall but found them very attentive – almost too much in fact (as I had noted on prior Asiana flights). Their English wasn't great but I managed to communicate rather well.
Our route was straight east over Tokyo and continuing on to San Francisco. There were seemingly very few tail winds that day as we arrived at our destination about one hour late. The westbound flight will have a much shorter ride than eastbound I guess.
There was no wait at immigration at just before noon in San Francisco and Global Entry didn't save me any time really.
In conclusion, while I was highly critical of the old seat on the Boeing 747, the new Smartium seats are as good as it currently gets in most business class cabins. I had a great flight and would fly with Asiana again.

Your kids can continue to play soccer in their yard even after the sun goes down. The Glowcity Light up Soccer ball is equipped with two high bright LED lights. The lights are housed inside the ball and only turn on upon impact. The lights will also stay on during the game. Since the lights and batteries are on the inside, they will continue to work if moisture gets on the ball. The ball is built to survive countless night games as it is composed of a rubber material. The black color with the LED lights gives this ball a super sleek look that will have children excited to play.
Perfect working condition, see attached pictures for excellent condition, comes with original box, all paperwork, charging dock, and cord included, All original/ All Authentic My son loves this ball but has moved on to a personal trainer, this ball is tested and works perfect, just download the app- paperwork included Size 5 Adidas micoach smart ball, soccer ball I will ship within 24 hours after payment is made, get it before Christmas! 100% feedback, smoke free/ pet free home
This makes such a cute gift for a toddler or baby! I love the fox design. I bought this for my 1 year old for Christmas and he loves it. It comes deflated and comes with a small air pump and it's super easy to inflate. I also like that it's made of a sturdy material if a baby or toddler bites into it, they aren't going to get a chunk out of it (like they might with foam toys). It doesn't bounce, but it's fun to kick around and won't hurt too much if kids are throwing it around and it happens to hit someone on accident. (I would know because my 3 year old loves to throw it at his little brother, lol.)
These soccer balls are exact replicas of the finale game balls, right on down to the specific design details that can be found on the ball. If you're looking for a durable, reliable ball that can help players replicated the feeling of playing the game at home, then the Top Training Series by Adidas is one of the best options to consider today. Each ball is guaranteed to pass FIFA tests for weight, circumference, rebound, and water absorption. It is the closest you can get in the entry-level categories for a soccer ball to the match ball experience.

It depends on its intended use. Soccer ball casings are made from three kinds of synthetic materials. Polyvinyl carbonate (PVC) which is what most less expensive training balls are made from, Polyurethane (PU) which is the preferred ball for soccer tournaments, and a combination of the two. There are also foam and rubber training soccer balls for kids. Some kids' soccer balls are made of 100 percent thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), which is a kind of foamy casing material so the ball is very soft. There are greater and lesser grades of each kind of material. PU-covered balls are generally softer, livelier, and have a better feel to them, and are what most people seek when looking for a optimal performing soccer ball.
Great replica soccer balls! My kids love them. So much so, they are waiting until the fall when their new season starts to "keep them nice." They are authentic Adidas, and even come with the FIFA reflective sticker to place once the ball is inflated. Side note: The balls do arrive flat, so make sure you have a good pump with separate gauge as not to over inflate.
On the other hand, replicas (sometimes called training balls or gliders) are designed to be just like the official match balls but are much cheaper. Their panels are often stitched rather than thermally-bonded and are made of a different material. However, they're not necessarily less durable than official match balls. So, they're the recommended option for most players.

The soccer is the world's most popular and widely watched game. Due to increasing technological advancement and demand for performance, the ball manufacturers have been developing new designs progressively. A traditional spherical football made of 32 leather panels stitched together in 1970s has become only 14 synthetic curved panels thermally bonded without stitches ball in 2006 and more recently 8 panels football in 2010. Despite being most popular game in the world, scan data is available on aerodynamic properties of footballs especially Jabulani, Teamgeist and Fevernova balls. The primary objectives of this study were to evaluate aerodynamic performances of these three soccer balls. The aerodynamic forces and moments were measured experimentally for a range of wind speeds. The aerodynamic forces and their non-dimensional coefficients were determined and compared.
This Wilson Traditional Soccer Ball has a classic black and white design that kids are familiar with. For that fact, kids will have no problem becoming acquainted with this fun soccer ball with it's non-distracting design. This is a very tough soccer ball with machine sewn stitching to ensure that the panels stay in place and the stitching will not fray as your kid kicks it up and down the soccer field or in the backyard. This Wilson Soccer Ball is so tough that even your family pet and kid may play together without the ball getting ruined. With it's synthetic leather exterior, this Traditional Soccer Ball by Wilson is not only eco friendly, but easy to clean, too. The soft synthetic leather makes it very easy to write your kid's name onto the ball so that it will not get mixed up with the other kids they may play with in view of the fact that soccer balls promote social play.
Our main intention of discussing the different types of balls is to educate you so that you can buy the right product. For example using practice balls on the street will bring you no good but some awful experiences as the ball will not last long. Similarly, an indoor soccer ball is not good to play on a beach. Keep this in mind when buying, and using a ball.
Everything becomes scaled down for smaller soccer players compared to the adult game. Kids play on small fields nowhere near the size of a full regulation field 100 or more yards long, with as few as three players compared to 11 for grownups. Even in a league, parents may serve as referees, games may last only 20 minutes and scores more than likely won't be kept. In keeping with this small world, kids' soccer balls are also smaller.
If you've ever noticed, a traditional soccer ball resembles a geodesic dome building. Such as the one designed by architect, Richard Buckminster Fuller. Thus the ball became called the Buckminster Ball. Or more simply, the "Buckeyball". The design is characterized by a pattern of twenty hexagon pieces, and twelve pentagon pieces, fitted together to create a perfect sphere. The soccer ball has undergone many design changes of various-shaped panels stitched together. But until the geodesic dome-like ball, it was never quite round enough to perform right. Manufacturers settled upon the modern thirty-two panel design, which enables the ball to roll and spin more evenly and smoothly. Which is probably why it's the most popular competition soccer ball on the market today. The Buckminister-style soccer ball was first sold in the 1950s, and debuted in the 1970 World Cup tournament.
This soccer ball will light up anywhere as it is comes with replaceable batteries which makes it better than a glow in the dark ball. Glow in the dark soccer balls cannot operate in any type of lighting as the phosphorescent materials must be in very dark lighting. The fact that the lights are impact activated is an awesome feature too, as it encourages kids to play and focus on the game.
This ball has a TPU cover that we wouldn't describe as "highly durable" for rough play. Although it handles indoor turf, it won't handle concrete, gravel, or court-based play like you have with futsal. This ball prefers to have a natural or artificial grass surface and that is about it. If you happen to impact a tree, run the ball on concrete, or have it bounce on a gravel driveway, the outer cover does tend to get scratched up pretty rapidly. The butyl bladder is of a higher quality than other balls at this price point, allowing the ball to hold its inflation pressure with an impressive amount of consistency.
This ball truly lives up to its name as a "glider," having a stable flight path when shot and a nice feel when passed. The surface is relatively grippy, which is great for goalkeepers looking to practice their catches. Because the ball isn't as slippery as some other replicas, you can shoot it with a bit more swerve, and dribbling and skill moves are a bit easier.
Before your little one can think about joining a pee-wee soccer team, they first need to master some basic motor skills...like running and kicking! For a new walker, the concept of pulling their leg back to kick forward is not only foreign but may result with them landing on their little tush on the ground more often than not. The Daball Toddler Soft soccer ball provides your child with a fun incentive to practice these important gross-motor skill-building exercises. Did we mention the cute animal faces? Available in zebra, giraffe, owl, fox, and polar bear styles, these balls are sure to bring delight to any playing time! Despite their cutesy appearance, this ball is built to last, featuring a TPU material exterior, the same type of cover used by junior and professional soccer leagues. This extra-durable substance known as Thermoplastic Polyurethane, or TPU, is a rubber-like plastic that is extremely flexible and smooth to the touch but can also resist scratching and will keep your ball looking newer, longer.
You should also try to keep the ball at the correct pressure. Do not over or under pressurize a soccer ball. Use the manufactures recommended air pressure that is printed on most balls. Most soccer balls have a pressure rating of 6 to 8 lbs. or 0.6 or 0.8 BAR. It is recommended that you use a pressure gauge to measure the exact amount of pressure in a ball after inflating and before use. It can also be a good idea to deflate the soccer training ball after use to reduce the pressure on the seams and stitching. Reflate the ball to the appropriate pressure before using it for a game or training.
Another type of soccer ball that some players may find to be useful is the indoor soccer ball. Indoor balls are designed to have less bounce and rebound to them, making it possible to control the ball on a tighter court or field. The cover of an indoor ball is also the strongest of any category, so it can withstand play on turn, hard court surfaces, and impacts with walls.
Kids' everyday life are full of imaginations and adventures. From playing mommy to top restaurant chef, their role playing abilities are limitless. Why stop there? With this one of the kind animal soccer balls, designed to be fun and safe for kids as young as 18 months all the way up to 5 years old. Now, their imaginations could roam the safari, amazon forest, or even the coldest north pole. These mini soccer balls are tested rigorously to pass all BPA, phthalates, lead, and heavy metals requirements to ensure a 100% fun time with zero worry. Measured 5.75" in diameter and made extra soft, they are just the right size for toddler and young kids to have fun without straining and hurting their feet.
Only size 5, and size 4 are available for this. Although this should not be a major problem as this is for recreational play and practicing purpose, so kids are ok to play with this as well. In fact, the ball that will be given away to the developing countries will be used by the kids mostly. If you are buying this for an adult go for size 5, and if you are buying for kids or youth players then better go for size 4.
It is a common misconception but, believe it or not, soccer was not actually invented in England. Although the sport, known across the pond as football, was revolutionized by the country in the mid-19th century, records actually trace its origin back over 2,000 years to ancient China. Called "association football" when it was played by the British 200 years ago, the terms "football" and "soccer" were both eventually derived from abbreviations of the longer name over time.
The Adidas Glider is machine stitched with a durable TPU exterior. Such an outer layer makes it a durable product as this ball stands tall against scratches as well as abrasion. It also has a butyl bladder which makes sure that once you pump the air into it, it stays there for an extended duration. So regardless of the rough usage, this ball will stay inflated for years to come.
You should also try to keep the ball at the correct pressure. Do not over or under pressurize a soccer ball. Use the manufactures recommended air pressure that is printed on most balls. Most soccer balls have a pressure rating of 6 to 8 lbs. or 0.6 or 0.8 BAR.

It can also be a good idea to deflate the soccer training ball after use to reduce the pressure on the seams and stitching. Reflate the ball to the appropriate pressure before using it for a game or training.
Due to the nature of these soccer balls, kids can surely enjoy playing with their peers as any ball in general, especially soccer balls encourage interactive play. With the soccer balls above, kids will be able to not only play soccer games on the field with their teammates but play at home and during recess, too. Social play is essential to the livelihood of kids in view of the fact that it teaches kids how to interact with society as they grow older. Social play even creates the opportunity for problem-solving skills, as well as imaginative and physical play.

With the exception of the Wilson Traditional soccer ball, each of the soccer balls above is unique. Not only by the bold colors and detailed designs but the machine stitching technology that has sewn the panels together. Kids can benefit greatly from having a soccer ball that stands out because it will encourage them to learn more about soccer so that they can really use their cool, unique soccer ball. A unique ball will also distinguish their ball from many others at soccer practices and camps.
While this ball is absolutely adorable and feels like it's a good quality, I'm disappointed with the one I received. It has little chips in the design—there are a few little white marks in the sections that are orange. Also, there is some sort of sticky stuff on the ball, almost like residue from an old sticker. I can probably remove it with Goo-Gone... I'm just not thrilled that it seems to be used or at least bought and returned. While I'm sure my nephew will love it for his 1st birthday party tomorrow, I'm mildly embarrassed to give it to my brother and his wife because of the appearance. If the party weren't tomorrow, I'd return / exchange it. Frustrating!
This ball is available in several sizes that are perfect to suit a variety of ages and soccer league requirements. A size 3 ball is the common size recommended for children under the age of 8 and recommended by most junior leagues. Playing soccer can help your child develop their gross-motor skills as well as balance and coordination. Soccer is also a teamwork-heavy game that requires everyone to work together in order to win. This can encourage your child to build friendships and improves socialization skills.
The outer casing of a soccer ball is composed of panels made from synthetic materials, such as PVC, PU, or a combination, sewn or glued together. Soccer ball casings are rarely leather anymore, since leather tends to absorb moisture making the ball heavier and not perform as well. The number of panels or sections of the outer casing varies according to design. Most professional soccer balls are the 32-panel design. More panels mean a rounder and stabler ball, and a more accurate flight.
The Wilson Soccer Ball comes in three different sizes as depending on your age group; you can purchase this product without any hindrance. It is machine-sewed with 32 different panels stretching all over its surface. The cover is made of synthetic leather which gives you a nice feel when you kick this ball. Furthermore, it is a durable product which is devoid of regular wear and tear.
The Adidas Glider is machine stitched with a durable TPU exterior. Such an outer layer makes it a durable product as this ball stands tall against scratches as well as abrasion. It also has a butyl bladder which makes sure that once you pump the air into it, it stays there for an extended duration. So regardless of the rough usage, this ball will stay inflated for years to come.
However, in Goff's wind tests, he and his team noticed that the Telstar 18 had a little more resistance at high speeds, and predict that the ball will go about eight to nine percent less distance down the pitch on long kicks. This means that Manuel Neuer, the goalkeeper for Germany who was considered to be the x-factor that brought Germany the win in 2014, might not have quite as much of an impact clearing balls from the goal this time around Goff says. "You'd see him just kicking the ball way, way down the pitch, and [this World Cup] you might notice that some of those kicks aren't quite as long as before," Goff says.
This ball is a size 5 which makes it great for small children to play with. Batteries for the lights are included. While they do have a long lifespan, they are easy to replace when the time comes. The LED's shut off after a minute of inactivity, which helps make the batteries last longer. Your child's knowledge of cause and effect will increase as they realize the ball lights up after being hit or kicked.

Wilson is a classic sports company that gives you just about everything that you need in a soccer ball. This ball has a synthetic leather cover which is soft to the kick, but also has enhanced ball durability. It has a butyl rubber bladder to hold the air which gives the ball its shape and and retains the air. This has the classic black and white panel colors.

Re: New York City - Miscegenous Mayor 'Comrade' Bill De Blasio in the news
Voters fed up with de Blasios handling of investigations

City voters are fed up with how Mayor
de Blasio
is handling a string of federal and state probes rocking his administration including his plan to seek contributions to pay for his legal bills, a poll released Wednesday.
Fifty-two percent arent happy with how de Blasio is dealing with public corruption, while 28 percent approve of his methods and the rest are undecided, according to a Quinnipiac poll with an error margin of about 3 percent.
The poll, while giving de Blasio good grades on his handling of crime, schools and most other categories, is also particularly rough on Hizzoners handling of the citys homelessness crisis.
Voters disapprove of it, 55 percent to 36 percent, and whopping 96 percent of New Yorkers polled say homelessness is a serious problem in the Big Apple.
The survey also found that 57 percent of voters say de Blasios plan to set up a legal defense fund to pay his bills related to the pay-for-play probes is an ethical problem, while 37 percent are okay with it.
Voters also believe the mayor does favors for developers who are generous to his campaigns, 50 percent to 29 percent. However, half of those who say the mayor does such favors, believe the actions are unethical but not criminal. Another 33 percent say its indeed criminal.
Compared to a few years ago, 54 percent of voters report witnessing more homeless persons living on the streets and other public spaces, the poll said. Another 14 percent claim the problem has improved and remaining 32 percent are undecided.
Homelessness is a big problem, New Yorkers think, said Maurice Carroll, assistant director of the poll. There attitudes are a mixture of compassion and impatience.
New Yorkers also approve of the job Police Commissioner James ONeill is doing, 52 percent to 21 percent.
De Blasios sketchy numbers with voters on public corruption and homelessness were unveiled a day after the release of another Quinnipiac Poll that ended a year-long trend of voters rejecting the mayors re-election bid. The poll found 47 percent favor de Blasios re-election while 44 percent do not.
Those who find the truth hateful just hate hearing the truth.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste.....on a nigger.
If you're not catching flak, you're not over the target.

Shipments of touchscreens for tablet PCs are expected to reach 60 million this year- up from around 10 million in 2010- with Apple continuing to lead the way.
Camera and copier maker Canon chimed in with support today for Intel's Thunderbolt technology, the first major consumer electronics company after Apple to back the new standard. Thunderbolt, formerly known by its codename Light Peak, that combines high-speed data transfer and high-definition video on a single cable. Running at 10Gbps, Thunderbolt can transfer a full-length HD movie in less than 30 seconds. Apple has already adopted the technology--its newest MacBook Pros come with Thunderbolt ports--and is a technical collaborator with Intel. The announcement by Canon--which references "video creation"--marks the second major company to sign on.
Best Buy has once again been ranked the top CE retailer by Dealerscope magazine. Dell, HP and Walmart remain in the second, third and fourth spots, followed by CDW, Amazon.com, Apple, Staples, GameStop and Target. The full list is published in Dealerscope's March 2011 issue.
Vizio came out on top in domestic LCD TV market share for both the fourth quarter and the full year in 2010, the company said Thursday.
South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co Ltd launched an ultra-slim notebook on Thursday, seeking to bolster its presence in the high-end mobile computer segment dominated by Apple Inc. Samsung, emerging as one of the strongest rivals to challenge Apple in the booming smartphone and tablet computer market, is eyeing the notebook market, in which Apple is seeking to replicate the success of the iPhone and iPad with its MacBook series. Samsung launched the lightweight 9 Series notebook on Thursday to compete with Apple's ultra-thin MacBook Air, introduced in October. Samsung said the new laptop would cost 2.5
Global TV shipments for the fourth quarter of 2010 reached 77.6 million units, a 15 percent year-over-year jump, according to numbers released by DisplaySearch on Tuesday.

|Judgments -
In re E (a child) (AP) (Appellant) (Northern Ireland)
25. Notwithstanding efforts on the part of the parents to negotiate with the Glen Bryn residents in the hope of improving matters and other initiatives by political and community groups, it became apparent that when the school term commenced in September the loyalist mob would endeavour to prevent the pupils of Holy Cross School and their parents from walking to school along Ardoyne Road past the Glen Bryn estate. Mr McQuillan states in his affidavit that the police resolved to mount a police operation to do everything possible to ensure that they could go in safety to school by the route of their choice along Ardoyne Road.
26. It was quickly apparent that the loyalist residents and those aligning themselves with them were intent on preventing the Catholic parents and children from walking to school on Ardoyne Road through the Glen Bryn estate. On 3 September, the first day of the school term, a large crowd of loyalists assembled and attacked the police and the soldiers erecting barriers. The police made efforts to clear the crowd, but the loyalists numbers were too great and their hostility too severe for them to be able to do so. Later that day and on subsequent days in September serious rioting occurred in the area, notwithstanding the deployment of large numbers of police and Army personnel.
27. The loyalists efforts in pursuit of their aim of blocking the walk to the school became increasingly violent and dangerous, with highly unpleasant and frightening consequences for the children. These are summarised in the statement of facts and issues agreed between the parties in a passage at paragraph 6 which makes distressing reading. A list of examples of the protesters behaviour is there set out. No doubt the type of incident which occurred and the intensity of the abuse varied from day to day. The list reads as follows:
(i) the throwing of an explosive device on Ardoyne Road on the 5th September 2001 as children were being taken to the school.
(ii) The throwing of other missiles at those making the journey to and from the school. These included bricks, rubbish, balloons filled with urine, dog excrement and in particular in the pre-Halloween period firecrackers and bangers.
(iii) Some parents when travelling to or from the school were the object of death threats shouted at them by protesters.
(iv) A commonplace was the shouting by protesters of verbal abuse of a vile sectarian nature.
(v) Male protesters shouted obscenities of a sexual nature at women and children as they sought to make their way to or from school.
(vi) There were occasions where racist abuse was directed at persons connected to the school.
(vii) On occasions explicit pornographic material was displayed by the protesters as pupils travelled to school.
(viii) Two priests connected to the local parish and who were on the Board of Governors of the school were subjected to verbal abuse which suggested that they engaged in improper sexual activity with the pupils of the school.
(ix) Placards were on occasions displayed which described the same priests as paedophiles and stated that they had joined the priesthood to abuse small children.
(x) Some protesters from time to time wore Johnny Adair facemasks. Johnny Adair was a notorious loyalist paramilitary who for long had been associated with sectarian attacks on Catholics in the North Belfast area.
(xi) On occasions children, their parents and the priests already referred to were spat at by protesters.
(xii) A frightening and intimidating atmosphere was created by the protesters by the use of piercing whistles, sirens, horns and other instruments which could generate loud noises.
(xiii) Apart from the Johnny Adair masks, already referred to, protesters also wore other masks from time to time.
The DVD which formed part of the material before the House provides vivid visual confirmation of the violent and intimidating nature of the protesters behaviour. Notwithstanding all this the parents continued to take their children to school on foot every day along Ardoyne Road. Most of them declined to use the alternative route travelled by the appellant and her daughter in June, which was somewhat longer and was more difficult for some to traverse. The police offered to transport the parents and children to the school in an armoured bus, but this offer was also declined. So for over two months the group of parents and children ran the gauntlet twice a day along Ardoyne Road.
28. This unhappy state of affairs continued until late November 2001, in spite of efforts by the police to protect the children and parents and efforts by many people in the communities of north Belfast, members of the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission (NIHRC), public representatives, clergy, teachers and others concerned with the welfare of the children to improve matters and seek a means to achieve their cessation. The effect on the physical and emotional health of the children who ran this gauntlet regularly with their parents was marked, as Dr Tan, a local medical practitioner, averred in his affidavit. This is confirmed by the evidence of the principal of the school, Mrs Anne Tanney, and three members of NIHRC who visited the school. It was mitigated only by the wise and compassionate way in which the principal and staff of the school endeavoured to make it a haven of normality and ease the fears and distress of the children.
29. It is clear from the affidavits of Sir Ronnie Flanagan, then Chief Constable, ACC McQuillan and David Watkins, principal security adviser to the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, that it was the firm view of the Government and the police that a policing solution alone would not resolve the situation. A succession of meetings was held by Government ministers and officials and senior police officers with a wide range of people in the area, with a view to making both short-term and long-term progress in protecting the children and parents and bringing the matter to an end. Towards the end of October 2001 the atmosphere began to change and it appeared possible to make moves directed towards a return to normality.
30. In early November the police decided to adopt a revised strategy of lower-key policing of the protest. The loyalists then agreed to appoint stewards and reduce the level of confrontation, while the police removed their riot gear in favour of more usual street apparel. Gradually over the next three weeks the level and intensity of policing was reduced, without untoward effects, until the protest was suspended on 23 November.
31. A substantial part of the affidavit evidence was devoted to conflicting accounts of meetings which the Chief Constable, other senior police officers and the Security Minister Ms Jane Kennedy MP held with various persons and bodies concerned about the situation. Some of them made representations of varying vigour to the effect that the police were not taking sufficiently effective action to prevent the loyalist protesters from acting as I have described. Factual disputes of this kind cannot readily be resolved in judicial review proceedings and it is not possible for the House to attempt to do so. I do not consider, however, that those conflicts of evidence require to be resolved and, like the trial judge, I do not propose to comment upon them.
32. Counsel for the appellant laid some emphasis on statements appearing in the affidavits sworn by police officers, which she submitted showed that they misunderstood the extent of the obligation resting upon them to prevent the exposure of the children to the frightening behaviour of the protesters and paid an incorrect amount of regard to the rights of assembly and protest of the loyalists.
33. She pointed to places in Mr McQuillans affidavit sworn on 21 January 2002 in which he referred to respecting and balancing the rights of all those involved (paras 43(iv), 56 and 63). In para 42 he stated that the police sought to ensure, among other concerns, that the rights of protesters to lawfully protest are respected". In para 50 he said that the police hoped that the measures which they adopted
would provide some greater protection for the parents and children and at the same time minimal interference with the rights of the Loyalist residents to lawfully protest and make use of the public highway.
As against that the Chief Constable is recorded as having stated in a meeting with representatives of NIHRC on 25 October 2001 that his paramount consideration is the welfare of the children and that the rights of the children far outweighed any rights to freedom of assembly or expression claimed by the protesters. In a letter of 7 November 2001 to the Chief Commissioner he assured him that the rights of the children are to the forefront of our thinking in all we do and in all we are seeking to achieve. An echo of this approach appears in para 27 of Chief Superintendent Maxwells affidavit sworn on 14 January 2002, where he refers to his view that the safety of the children had to be paramount.
34. The difficulties faced by the police and the attempts made to overcome them and ensure the safe passage of the children and their parents are set out in the affidavits sworn by the senior police officers involved. They are summarised in some detail in the judgments of the trial judge and the Court of Appeal and I shall set out only a resume in this opinion.
35. During the first period, between the outbreak of disorder on 19 June 2001 and the end of the school term, the situation in the area was such that there would have been considerable risk to the children and parents if the police had attempted to force a passage for them through the protesters on Ardoyne Road. Firearms and blast, paint and petrol bombs had been used on 19 June against the police officers, 39 of whom had been injured. There were concerns about the effect which further confrontation and possible violence might have on the stability of the area, which was in a volatile condition. Chief Superintendent Maxwell was seriously concerned for the safety of the children, in the light of intelligence received about the risk of organised attacks by loyalists on Catholic residents. Even so, he told representatives of the school that had it been a situation of adults going to their place of work, rather than children going to school, he might have been disposed to push back the protesters. He considered the risk too great to take in the case of children, however, and so decided, with the agreement of ACC McQuillan, that he could not permit the use of Ardoyne Road for their passage to school. This decision was not challenged in the submissions advanced to the House.
36. When the new term commenced in September the police had been able to consider what strategy they would follow and what expedients they might adopt. A decision was made by them that their overriding priority was to do everything possible to enable the parents to take their children to school on foot along Ardoyne Road. To this end an attempt was made on 3 September to erect a barrier of screens between the protesters and the pedestrians, with police and soldiers stationed on each side of the barrier. This had limited success, as the screens were not sufficiently robust to withstand stones and took so long to erect that assembling crowds were able to prevent the completion of the barrier. The use of hessian screens was also considered, but rejected, mainly on account of the fire risk.
37. The expedient adopted was to station police and military vehicles along both sides of the road, creating a corridor through which the group of children and parents could walk. Police and soldiers were deployed on the protesters side and escorting police officers carrying long shields accompanied the group to protect them from missiles. This tactic proved successful, to the extent that no injuries were sustained by any children.
38. The ensuring of the passage of the groups of children and parents placed a heavy burden on the police. Mr McQuillan stated at para 53 of his affidavit of 21 January 2002:
Huge numbers of police and soldiers were deployed into the area each day to achieve the safe travel of the parents and children to school and each evening to prevent sectarian rioting along interfaces in the area. During the course of these operations Police and Army came under attack with gunfire, blast bombs, petrol bombs, acid bombs and missiles. Vehicles were hijacked, set on fire and rolled into police lines. Large numbers of soldiers and police officers were injured, some very seriously.
Mr Maxwell stated that a total of 41 police officers received injuries directly attributable to the Holy Cross dispute. The cost of policing it between June and December 2001 has been estimated at over £3 million. The deployment of such numbers of police officers in Ardoyne meant the diversion of resources from other areas, with a significant impact on the quality of policing in the Belfast Region.
39. Several deponents criticised the effectiveness of the steps taken by the police. Some, notably the appellant herself and Father Aidan Troy, the chairman of the board of governors of the school, described the screens as inadequate. It is apparent, however, that these criticisms are largely directed to the screening on 3 September 2001, whereas it was accepted by the police on reviewing that days events that this had not been satisfactory and that other steps should be adopted. Others have complained that there were gaps in the line of vehicles subsequently used, which enabled protesters to get too close to the children as they walked along the roadway. Mr Frank McGuinness, a member of NIHRC, regarded the riot gear worn by the police as intimidating and there were also complaints that the police vehicles faced the children instead of the protestors and that offensive posters were not removed. The major complaint, however, made by a number of critics, was that the police should have taken more robust action, in particular by forcing protesters off the street and making more widespread arrests, with the object of terminating the protest at an early stage. This complaint formed the leitmotiv of much of the submissions made by counsel for the appellant and the first intervener NIHRC.
40. The major issue to which argument was directed was whether the State through its emanations the RUC and PSNI was in breach of its positive obligation under article 3 of the Convention to take the steps required of it to prevent the infliction of inhuman and degrading treatment upon the appellant and her daughter. In the courts below the argument also encompassed article 2, but before the House the appellant and NIHRC, sensibly in my view, did not pursue the issue under that article and confined their argument to article 3.
41. Several discrete questions require to be decided in approaching this issue:
(a) whether the appellant is entitled to seek relief on behalf of her child, who is not formally a party to the proceedings;
(b) whether the appellant and her daughter suffered inhuman or degrading treatment;
(c) whether article 3 was engaged so as to give rise to the positive obligation under that article;
(d) if so, whether the police took sufficient steps to discharge that obligation.
42. In the appellants Order 53 statement she purported to claim relief in respect of breach of the Convention rights both of herself and her young daughter. It has not been made clear why the child was not also joined as a party, which could readily have been done. The Court of Appeal held, in reliance on the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights in Ilhan v Turkey (2002) 34 EHRR 36 and YF v Turkey (2004) 39 EHRR 34, that the appellant was entitled to bring the present proceedings on behalf of her daughter. She was a young child and therefore vulnerable at the time of the events in question and the commencement of the judicial review proceedings. The appellant is a close relative of the child, who ranked as a victim for the purposes of section 7 of the Human Rights Act 1998. No argument to the contrary was addressed to the House and I am content to accept that the proceedings are properly founded, though I would regard it as generally preferable to join persons in the childs position as parties.
43. The respondents accepted that some of the more extreme forms of conduct in which the loyalist protesters indulged potentially constituted inhuman or degrading treatment within the meaning of article 3. I regard this as a correct concession, certainly in respect of the appellants daughter, and so I do not find it necessary to consider the reservation expressed by Campbell LJ in paragraph 88 of his judgment in the Court of Appeal.
44. Article 3 of the Convention provides in simple and unqualified terms:
No one shall be subjected to torture or to inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
It is not suggested that the state through the police itself subjected the appellant or her daughter to any such treatment. The appellants case is rather founded upon a claim that it was in breach of the positive obligation imposed upon it by article 3. The negative obligation, not to inflict inhuman or degrading treatment, is unqualified. But the Strasbourg jurisprudence has laid down in decisions under article 2 that a positive obligation is also imposed upon contracting states, to take certain steps towards the prevention of loss of life at the hands of others than the state. It was accepted by all parties to the present appeal that a similar positive obligation is imposed under article 3 in the prevention of the infliction by third parties of inhuman or degrading treatment. That was the major premise of the arguments addressed to the House and it appears to be correctly founded in principle and supported by recent decisions of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR).
45. The extent of the positive obligation obviously cannot be regarded as absolute as the negative obligation. The contracting states could sensibly bind themselves by an absolute and unqualified obligation not to take life and not to inflict inhuman or degrading treatment, matters which they themselves could control. They could not be expected to undertake a similarly absolute obligation to prevent other persons not under their direct control from taking such actions. The ECtHR set out the underlying reasoning fully in a passage in Osman v United Kingdom (1998) 29 EHRR 245, paras 115-116, a case involving article 2, which has become familiar to your Lordships but which nevertheless bears repetition in extenso:
115. The Court notes that the first sentence of Article 2(1) enjoins the State not only to refrain from the intentional and unlawful taking of life, but also to take appropriate steps to safeguard the lives of those within its jurisdiction. It is common ground that the States obligation in this respect extends beyond its primary duty to secure the right to life by putting in place effective criminal law provisions to deter the commission of offences against the person backed up by law enforcement machinery for the prevention, suppression and sanctioning of breaches of such provisions. It is thus accepted by those appearing before the Court that Article 2 of the Convention may also imply in certain well-defined circumstances a positive obligation on the authorities to take preventive operational measures to protect an individual whose life is at risk from the criminal acts of another individual. The scope of this obligation is a matter of dispute between the parties.
116. For the Court, and bearing in mind the difficulties involved in policing modern societies, the unpredictability of human conduct and the operational choices which must be made in terms of priorities and resources, such an obligation must be interpreted in a way which does not impose an impossible or disproportionate burden on the authorities. Accordingly, not every claimed risk to life can entail for the authorities a Convention requirement to take operational measures to prevent that risk from materialising. Another relevant consideration is the need to ensure that the police exercise their powers to control and prevent crime in a manner which fully respects the due process and other guarantees which legitimately place restraints on the scope of their action to investigate crime and bring offenders to justice, including the guarantees contained in Articles 5 and 8 of the Convention.
In the opinion of the Court where there is an allegation that the authorities have violated their positive obligation to protect the right to life in the context of their above-mentioned duty to prevent and suppress offences against the person, it must be established to its satisfaction that the authorities knew or ought to have known at the time of the existence of a real and immediate risk to the life of an identified individual or individuals from the criminal acts of a third party and that they failed to take measures within the scope of their powers which, judged reasonably, might have been expected to avoid that risk. The Court does not accept the Governments view that the failure to perceive the risk to life in the circumstances known at the time or to take preventive measures to avoid that risk must be tantamount to gross negligence or wilful disregard of the duty to protect life. Such a rigid standard must be considered to be incompatible with the requirements of Article 1 of the Convention and the obligations of Contracting States under that article to secure the practical and effective protection of the rights and freedoms laid down therein, including Article 2. For the Court, and having regard to the nature of the right protected by Article 2, a right fundamental in the scheme of the Convention, it is sufficient for an applicant to show that the authorities did not do all that could be reasonably expected of them to avoid a real and immediate risk to life of which they have or ought to have knowledge. This is a question which can only be answered in the light of all the circumstances of any particular case.
46. It may be seen from the passage which I have quoted and from such decisions as Van Colle v Chief Constable of the Hertfordshire Police [2008] UKHL 50; [2008] 3 WLR 593 that in cases involving article 2 the major issue may be whether the risk to life which in the event materialised was to be regarded at the time when precautions could have been taken as real and immediate". Miss Quinlivan for the appellant pointed out that no analogous difficulty arose in the present case, for the inhuman and degrading treatment had actually occurred and then recurred over a lengthy period, so that article 3 in its positive aspect was engaged. The police accordingly possessed more than sufficient knowledge of that treatment to trigger their obligation to take preventive action.
47. That much was not in dispute, but counsel went further and submitted that since the police had available to them the means of stopping the protest and preventing the infliction of inhuman or degrading treatment, their obligation to use the measures at their disposal was absolute, unless they could conclusively demonstrate that if they adopted those measures worse consequences of risk to life or the infliction of inhuman or degrading would ensue to the children concerned or other persons. The submission advanced by Mr Macdonald QC for the first intervener NIHRC went equally far. He argued in terms that the positive obligation under article 3 was absolute in its nature and that no element of proportionality entered into consideration. The full extent of this argument appears at para 55 of his written case:
55. Likewise, the concept of balance is not in play in that the needs of the community cannot be weighed against the right of an individual not to be subjected to torture or other ill-treatment reaching the threshold. To express the standard of the states responsibility in terms of reasonableness therefore fails to reflect the categorical imperative created by Article 3. Considerations of reasonableness may operate in deciding whether a proposed measure is available or likely to be effective to stop the ill-treatment in question but not otherwise. In circumstances where the state has it within its power to prevent or stop inhuman or degrading treatment, it must take the measures necessary to do so. The only room for discretion is in determining the most effective means of achieving the object of preventing the ill-treatment. There is no room for opting not to prevent it.
48. I am unable to accept the thesis advanced by either counsel. It is in my opinion quite clear from para 116 of Osman that the obligation placed upon the authorities in an article 2 case is to do all that could reasonably be expected of them to avoid a real and immediate risk to life, once they have or ought to have knowledge of the existence of the risk. I cannot suppose that the obligation under article 3 is different in kind, and the Strasbourg jurisprudence confirms this, as I set out below. To hold otherwise would be to place an intolerable burden on the state. In the present case it would have required the police to drive back the protesters by main force and make numerous arrests, irrespective of the consequences which could have ensued and which could have given rise to widespread disorder, loss of life and destruction of property. I consider that my observations in In re Officer L [2007] UKHL 36, [2007] 1 WLR 2135, para 21 are equally applicable to the present case:
[21] Secondly, there is a reflection of the principle of proportionality, striking a fair balance between the general rights of the community and the personal rights of the individual, to be found in the degree of stringency imposed upon the state authorities in the level of precautions which they have to take to avoid being in breach of article 2. As the European Court of Human Rights stated in Osman v United Kingdom (1998) 29 EHRR 245, para 116, the applicant has to show that the authorities failed to do all that was reasonably to be expected of them to avoid the risk to life. The standard accordingly is based on reasonableness, which brings in consideration of the circumstances of the case, the ease or difficulty of taking precautions and the resources available. In this way the state is not expected to undertake an unduly burdensome obligation: it is not obliged to satisfy an absolute standard requiring the risk to be averted, regardless of all other considerations: cf McBride, Protecting Life: A Positive Obligation to Help (1999) 24 EL Rev: Human Rights Survey HR/43, HR/52.
