New Haven ranked among 'most dangerous' cities in US again, here's why you shouldn't believe it
NEW HAVEN >> The Elm City, along with Bridgeport and Hartford, again finds itself at the top of a ranking of the "most dangerous" mid-sized cities in the country.
But should the rankings be trusted?
The answer is no, according to many law enforcement officials, criminologists and statisticians.
The latest ranking, this time by Law Street Media, a national legal and policy website, comes after the FBI released its "Preliminary Semiannual Uniform Crime Report" last week. The report is compiled from statistics provided to the FBI by more than 12,000 law enforcement agencies. Law Street Media used the violent crime statistics—murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault— to rank the "most dangerous" cities with populations under 200,000.
New Haven was pegged as the No. 2 most dangerous, Hartford No. 4 and Bridgeport No. 6.
The Law Street Media rankings are an update of a list produced by the site in the fall. The rankings point out that crime is on the decline in many of the cities it claims to be "most dangerous," including the three in Connecticut. Rape is up in all three, but that is the result in a change in how the FBI defines rape.
Experts, including the FBI and the police chiefs in cities that often find themselves at the top of these lists, are quick to debunk the rankings as simplistic and unreliable.
The FBI, in releasing the report, warns that these type of rankings, "do not provide insight into the numerous variables that shape crime in a given town, city, county, state, tribal area, or region.
"These rankings lead to simplistic and/or incomplete analyses that can create misleading perceptions that adversely affect communities and their residents," the FBI states. "Only through careful study and analyses into the range of unique conditions affecting each local law enforcement jurisdiction can data users create valid assessments of crime."
Despite the critics, the rankings are often picked up by both local and national media outlets and spread through social media.
Bridgeport Police Chief Joseph Gaudett expressed his frustration in a statement to WFSB.
"I think I speak for police chiefs across the country when I say 'studies' like this don't dignify a response," Gaudett told the news station Thursday. "Yet, here we are again. A string of these junk studies come out every year even though the FBI implores people against it because they are overly simplistic and utterly misleading."
Another recent report, based on 2012 statistics, from CQ Press, ranked New Haven as No. 26 in violent crime nationwide.
"If you truly compare cities on an apples-to-apples basis, Connecticut's cities are all among the safest in the United States," said Mark Abraham, executive director of DataHaven, in response to that study. "That's not to say there aren't certain neighborhoods in our cities and towns that have greatly elevated crime."
In 2011, Abraham wrote an op-ed further explaining why he finds these rankings unreliable.
The data released by the FBI can be viewed at its website.

Manik Sabhagriha, Bandra witnessed an energetic and engaging evening filled with songs and live performance by the singer that left the audience wanting for more.
The evening of Aug 17 intended to felicitate noted senior instrumentalist, ace Guitarist Gorakh Sharma and two other prominent yesteryear musicians: Late Shashikant Kudalkar, noted Tabla player and Mohammad Rashid Khan, one of the most skillful Bulbul-tarang & Banjo player of our country.
Expectedly, the felicitation function for the three artistes was followed by a request for Gorakh Sharma to play the Guitar live on stage. It was amazing to see the ease with which the champion artiste quickly got ready with a different Guitar and master it to play the evergreen theme music of the film Karz.
The proceedings commenced with Javed Ali's constant Endeavour to charge the audience and keep all involved continued with songs. The "ever welcome" presence of veteran comedian Johnny Lever coupled with his unbeatable delivery style and light-hearted jokes had the audience in splits.

RE: The credit granting proces
I'm not too sure what you are asking. But I when they verify address that is mostly for scoring purposes. Besides your overall fico or credit score which is a 3 digit # from 300-900, the credit card companies keep their own score card.
You get points for certain factors which make you more creditworthy. This includes
-lenght of time on job
-type of work/professional etc.
-years at address
-rent or own
-having a phone in your name
and their are other factors.
They assigns point values to the factors and use that to determine if they will give you the card along with your credit score.
I hope this info helps. There is alot more to it but my fingers are a little tired. I will get back to you later.
RE: The credit granting proces
They're not going to use THEIR dime to call Directory Assistance ... pah-leeze. Many people have unlisted phone numbers and addresses, anyways.

Gorilla Tracking with Crystal Cruises
Locking eyes with an almost-500 pound silverback mountain gorilla, with just a few feet of African forest standing in between, travellers participating in Crystal Cruises' newest Overland Adventure may share a scene few on earth will ever see. With just 600 mountain gorillas left in the world, and only a handful of active guests permitted on the excursion, Crystal's new "Bwindi Forest Gorilla Tracking Experience" is an ultimate bucket list trip. The five-night journey is only available to guests sailing back-to-back on two of Crystal Serenity's 2014 World Cruise segments: an 18-night 10th March voyage from Singapore to Cape Town and the following 21-night 28th March cruise from Cape Town to Southampton. From South Africa's port of Durban, outing participants will travel deep into Uganda, then re-join the ship in Cape Town.
Over two days, participants will follow expert guides into the UNESCO World Heritage-classified Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, tracking the gorillas' paths. Guests can then safely watch their playful interactions, observe their distinctly individual personalities, learn about their habits and history and possibly see other residents such as forest elephants, giant forest hogs, blue monkeys or one of 350 bird species and 200 types of butterflies.
On non-tracking days, the group will also learn about Uganda's wetland, savannah and forest eco-systems at the Uganda Wildlife Education Centre, and participate in a mock Batwa Pygmy (considered the "keepers of the forest" for more than 5,000 years) hunting party, including tribal singing and dancing. Luxury accommodation includes two nights at The Lake Victoria Serena Resort, set on the world's largest tropical lake, and three nights at the silver-service Sanctuary Gorilla Camp.
The "Bwindi Forest Gorilla Tracking Experience" costs from $11,676 per person. The combined, 39-night cruise itinerary calls in Singapore (overnight); Jakarta, Mauritius/Port Louis, Durban, Cape Town, Walvis Bay, Luanda (maiden call), Bom Bom Island/São Tomé, Takoradi, Dakar, Agadir, Lisbon and Southampton.
Crystal is also offering ten other Overland Adventures (shore excursions where guests stay inland overnight during a cruise) in Africa next year, taking guests to Nelson Mandela's former home, through the countryside by Victorian-era railcar and on multiple safaris in Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana and South Africa.
Crystal's passion for creating exclusive, eye-opening luxury shore-side experiences are cornerstones of its Crystal Adventures programme, earning the line top ratings for two decades.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), more popularly known as drones, are power-driven aircraft that are designed to fly without a human operator onboard.
UAVs are increasingly being used in Canada for civil and commercial applications, such as aerial inspection, monitoring, mapping and surveying, communications and broadcasting, remote photography and filmmaking, and logistics. A diverse range of industries and sectors stand to benefit from the technology, including retail, energy, utilities, mining, agriculture, construction, telecommunications, shipping, environmental protection and emergency response. UAVs are popular because they can be rapidly deployed, particularly in difficult to access or unsafe environments, and have relatively low capital and operating costs.
Canada has, to date, adopted a relatively permissive approach to regulating UAVs that aims to strike a balance between promoting the commercial use of the technology and ensuring safety. Transport Canada, which is the government department responsible for regulating the use of UAVs, has established a regulatory regime premised on certification, but with various exemptions for recreational users and commercial operators flying small UAVs. However, the rapid rise in drone popularity (including both public recreational use and commercial use) has been accompanied by an increasing number of incidents related to reckless and negligent UAV use. Indeed, since 2010, Transport Canada has launched more than 50 investigations into incidents involving UAVs.
In response, Transport Canada announced in 2015 that it intended to introduce new drone regulations for drones that weigh 25 kilograms (55 pounds) or less and are operated "within the visual line of sight." Transport Canada also issued a Notice of Proposed Amendment to its regulations, and throughout the summer of 2015, it engaged in an extensive consultation process with numerous stakeholders. The Department is now in the final stages of developing the proposed regulations that are expected to be made available to the public for formal comment in the Canada Gazette, Part I, in the spring of 2017.
Under Canadian law, any person operating a UAV within Canadian domestic airspace must apply for and obtain a Special Flight Operations Certificate (SFOC) from Transport Canada unless the UAV is exempt from this requirement. An SFOC will specify the type of flight operation authorized and impose certain mandatory operating and flight safety conditions on the applicant. It may also impose additional optional conditions due to the nature and complexity of the operation(s), mission requirements, operating environment, aircraft performance capabilities and payload.
Penalties may be assessed in the amount of CA$5,000 for individuals and CA$25,000 for corporations for failure to obtain an SFOC.
UAVs with a maximum take-off weight of less than 35 kilograms (77 pounds) that are used for recreational purposes / personal enjoyment are considered model aircraft under Canadian law and are exempt from the requirement to obtain an SFOC. Exempt model aircraft must nevertheless operate pursuant to general flight safety standards established by Transport Canada.
UAVs used for non-recreational purposes (i.e., commercial, flight training, inspection, academia / research, etc.) are eligible for an exemption from the requirement to obtain an SFOC. There are two classes of exemptions for non-recreational UAVs. The first exemption applies to Very Small UAVs with a maximum take-off weight of less than 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds) (the Exemption for Very Small UAVs). The second exemption applies to Small UAVs with a maximum take-off weight between 2 kilograms and 25 kilograms (55 pounds), and with a maximum calibrated airspeed of 87 knots (161 kilometres per hour) (the Exemption for Small UAVs).
The Exemption for Very Small UAVs and the Exemption for Small UAVs apply only if UAV operations are conducted in compliance with the terms and conditions of the respective exemption, which include general operating conditions, specific flight safety standards, pilot training conditions, UAV systems conditions and reporting conditions.
Importantly, a person operating under each exemption must be a minimum of 18 years of age (or at least 16 years of age if conducting research under the supervision of an academic institution), and must have liability insurance coverage for the operation of the UAV of at least CA$100,000.
All UAVs are required to meet flight safety standards established by Transport Canada. These standards will be different for UAVs operating pursuant to an SFOC and for UAVs operating under one of the prescribed exemptions. By way of example, the following flight safety standards apply to commercial UAVs operating under an exemption:
Additionally, all UAVs are required to refrain from flying in areas popularly referred to as "no drone zones," unless specific permission is obtained from Transport Canada. These zones include:
For more information, drone operators are advised to consult Transport Canada's Do's and don'ts for flying your drone. Operating a UAV in a dangerous or unsafe manner may attract regulatory penalties and/or be punishable by monetary penalties and/or jail time under the Criminal Code of Canada.
An important issue for commercial UAV operations is whether UAVs can fly beyond an operator's visual line-of-sight. In Canada, the general rule is that UAVs can only be operated within visual line-of-sight, which means continuous unaided visual contact with the UAV sufficient to be able to maintain operational control of the UAV, know its location, and be able to scan the airspace to see and avoid other air traffic or objects.
However, a UAV operator may apply for an SFOC permitting operations beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS). Among other things, the operator must be able to demonstrate that the UAV employs an acceptable sense and avoid system that provides traffic separation and collision avoidance. This requirement may be relaxed for BVLOS operations in restricted airspace.
UAVs with imaging / camera payloads have raised privacy concerns among the general public. While all UAV operators, including individuals, must respect the privacy of others, private organizations that use UAVs for commercial purposes are governed by the federal and provincial privacy legislation including the Personal Information Protection Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). Under PIPEDA, organizations must obtain consent for the collection and use of personal information, which likely includes images and videos of identifiable individuals captured by commercial UAVs. UAV operators should also be aware of Canadian Criminal Code prohibitions related to covert video surveillance, voyeurism and interception of private communications. Thus far, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner has not yet set out specific privacy rules for UAV operators.
Given the privacy and safety concerns associated with UAVs, municipalities are starting to set their sights on regulating the recreational use of drones in public areas. Richmond, BC has passed a bylaw banning the flying of UAVs in city parks and on school grounds. Toronto City Council is considering a strategy to govern the use of UAVs over Toronto's outdoor spaces. However, it is unclear whether municipalities have jurisdiction to regulate the use of UAVs, which are aeronautics and fall under the jurisdiction of Canada's Federal Government.
In 2017, Transport Canada intends to update the regulatory regime regarding UAV operations in Canada. Specifically, it has indicated that it will revise and streamline the regulatory requirements for all UAVs, regardless of purpose, with a maximum take-off weight of under 25 kilograms that are operated within visual line-of-sight, while preserving the SFOC process primarily for UAVs larger than 25 kilograms and those operated as BVLOS.
According to Transport Canada, the aim of the new rules is to regulate UAV operations based on the level of risk involved. UAV operations that could cause limited damage to people, property or other aircraft would be subject to lesser regulation, whereas more complex and heavier UAV operations that could cause a greater amount of damage to people, property or other aircraft would see additional restrictions to mitigate the greater risks associated with these operations. Some of the amendments proposed by Transport Canada are as follows:
A formal comment period will open after the release of the draft regulations in the Canada Gazette, Part I, in the spring of 2017. Further updates to this article will be provided as more information becomes available on the new regulations.

Wow This Makes Me Mad
The other day on NPR there was a story about the Arizona immigration law that was passed back in April. And just in case you haven't heard of the Arizona immigration laws- a little background.
Back in April Arizona passed a law that allows the police forces in Arizona to stop people who look like illegal immigrants, and have the right to detain and lock up anyone who is unable to show proof of legal entry into the United States. This means anyone that looks like an illegeal immigrant. As you can guess the passing of the law sent the country into a furor. It led to boycotts of Arizona, discord between neighboring states, and even anger internationally.
There is no doubt this law is an abhorred crime against civil rights, but now it's shown that this law gets even uglier. It turns out that the lobbyists who pushed for this law work for private prisons companies. Click here to hear the NPR piece.
It makes me so mad to see that once again greed is the thing enabling human beings to treat other human beings so poorly. I'm a proponent of a free market economy, but never at the cost of human rights.

The UMD Bulldogs travel to Madison this weekend with the best start after 12 games in school history, 9-1-2, and the #1 ranking in the nation. The only team with a better record is Boston University at 6-0-4.
|From http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0926084/
Just as Harry Potter sets to do battle in the first part of his finale in movie theaters, UMD battles to fight the seeming curse of the #1 spot. UMD is the third team ranked #1 in as many weeks. The goal this weekend is to play well. If that means losing the #1 spot, that is agreeable as long as the team, coaching staff, and fans can agree that the games were well played and the Bulldogs gain at least a split.
Tough Row… UMD is again going into hostile territory, not only because it is not the DECC, but because they have struggled in Madison, no mater the building. The Bulldogs are 22-50-5 in their previous 77 games in Mad Town. Additionally, they have not swept the Badgers on their home ice in 23 series since doing so on February 8-9, 1985. That happens to be the last season Brett Hull played in Duluth while scoring 52 goals en route to an 84 point season.
To top it off, the Badgers under Coach Eaves have faced a #1 team 11 times. In those games UW is 7-2-2.
Something to Prove? UMD is not the only team this weekend with something to prove. The Badgers were the runner up in the National Championship game last season, so a lot is expected this year, right? In looking at the departures after last season, this season is an unknown. One thing for certain is the badgers take pride in their program and their home ice. After being swept last weekend the Badgers are certainly looking for redemption.
All of the Positives. Freshman Justin Faulk continues to lead all Bulldog players in +/- rating with a +9. Blueline partner Dylan Olsen is tied for second with Jack Connolly with a +8.
Heard AND Seen. This weekend offers plenty of choices to see the games on TV. Locally in Duluth, the Saturday game will be carried on My9.
The Wisconsin feed can be seen on Fox Sports Wisconsin on Friday and on the Wisconsin Channel on PBS for Saturday night. For those in the Twin Cities with an antenna, and that just might only be me, you can pick up Wisconsin PBS 28.2, but that is if you are close enough to Wisconsin, likely just in the east metro area. Again, that may just be me.
Outlook. We at the HighHorse have been picking UMD series correctly for three weekends now. I know that we don't designate which night a tie or win is, but that is just plain difficult with college athletes. Looking at this weekend we both agree that the Bulldogs will come away with a split in Madison.
WCHA This Weekend.
North Dakota at Nebraska – Omaha: The #1 ranking for UMd garnered many headlines this week, but what was maybe lost in it all was the match up of UNO and the Fighting Sioux. UND takes the trip down to Omaha to face a Maverick team lead by Dean Blais who resurrected the Sioux into a national power. Oh, and North Dakota was the preseason pick to win the WCHA and UNO is the new upstart member vying for first at 8-1-1 overall. It is going to be electric in Omaha tonight. Unfortunately for the Mavs, UND is a team that will expose their young talent and take at least three points. And if UND wears their black alternate jerseys, then it is sweep and good night. The Sioux are 21-1-2 in the black jerseys since 2006-2007.
University of Minnesota – Twin Cities at Michigan Technological University: This is two teams where you just don't know what you are going to get when they take the ice. Up and down and round and round are good words to describe their season with on and off ice issues. In the end, MTU and UMTC will split in the UP.
Bemidji State at Denver: Keep this one short and simple, Denver sweep.
Saint Cloud State at Alaska – Anchorage: See struggles with MTU and UMTC. SCSU had high expectations at the beginning of the season, and now they are just trying to keep the ship afloat. Am I being too dramatic? Yes and no, or is it maybe…if the Huskies don't sweep this weekend, they will likely not achieve a 0.500 record until AT LEAST the middle of December, if ever this season. The trip to Alaska is always difficult from a logistics standpoint. Add in a physical Seaswolves team that wants to slow everything down and you have the recipe for a split this weekend.

When I browsed after a while during October, november and december I really was impressed by the discounts and combine with free shipping...the price of three dresses would have been the price of one in singapore which is between $60-100 SGD whereas online on sale these dresses are between $15-35 SGD!
Continue below for the pieces I picked!
|Gorgeous casual and dressy dresses and tops purchased online from ASOS.com during their sale period in December! I got everything on sale!
|Gorgeous casual and dressy dresses and tops purchased online from ASOS.com during their sale period in December! NOTE: I purchased all the dresses in size 12 UK!
|Warehouse- ruched one shoulder dress
|River Island- Peplum square neck dress
|ASOS- Crinkle cut out dress
|Glamorous- Fit and flare mesh V-neck dress
|Glamorous- Mesh sleeved and aztec print dress
|ASOS- Cream lace top prom dress
A bit difficult to put on because of my chest, the material is slightly rough although the ruching makes the silhouette very smooth. I'd love to pair this with a softer thin sweater.
Up close the material has horizontal crinkles, its a medium thick cotton material with a satin lining inside. The cut outs are on the sleeves, the sides and by the side of the thighs, I do like it, although it feels a bit like I'm wrapped in a sweater!
One of the most flattering cuts for all body types, I love the deep V chest which is covered by a mesh! The back is all mesh too! It fits tightly at the wait and flares out to above the knees! I love the material, its just like the stretchy, thicker fabrics that topshop and miss selfridge dresses are made of...any bulges are concealed!
From the ASOS home brand, this beautiful lace sleeved puff skirt dress came in three colors, red, cream and black. I was tempted to buy black but it would've been so common! The lace top of the dress is so supple and soft, the skirt is not to prom like either and I would wear this out for dinner!
My favorite buy of the bunch, this is the second exact design I bought but in this medium bright pink shade! I bought this in navy and got it in december, the fit and material and everything about it I love! Easy to wear and so flattering! I got it at about 50% off!
Love the design but wish the material was thicker. It's very thin but smooth and not fragile. The print and mesh sleeves are so flattering! I would wear this with a nice jacket and some heeled booties!
|ASOS- Regular fit t-shirt size 10 UK
|ASOS- Peplum scoop neck top size 12 UK
I love the rose gold print all over the top...its so pretty and feminine!
Oh My Love- Mesh and peplum turquoise top! I got this in a size 12 but I wish I got this a size up so it would be a bit longer. I'm going to have to pair this with high waited shorts!
I ordered this T-shirt in a size 10, a size smaller as I've ordered one regular fit shirt before in size 12 and found it a tad bit too loose for my liking! I love the fit, simple prints and how its so easy to work with!
That's all the online clothes shopping I'll be doing for a while! I'm putting a limit of $100 dollars a month on clothes! Both online and locally, I think I've crossed that mark already for this month! I only will buy things online if they're on sale!

The Vev Flip-Flop: Dark Matter Decay between Weak Scale Phase Transitions
We discuss a new alternative to the Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) paradigm for dark matter. Rather than being determined by thermal freeze-out, the dark matter abundance in this scenario is set by dark matter decay, which is allowed for a limited amount of time just before the electroweak phase transition. We discuss a concrete model which exhibits a `vev flip-flop' and show that it is phenomenologically successful in the most interesting regions of its parameter space. We comment on detection prospects, primarily at the LHC.

NICHOLAS HUNSAKER, farmer, P. O. Commercial Point. The gentleman whose name heads this sketch was born in Union County, Ill., two miles southwest of Jonesboro, on August 15, 1826. He was a son of Abner and Rachel (Montgomery) Hunsaker. The father was one of the oldest settlers of Union County, was born on Green River, Ky., 1801, and died at his farm in Jonesboro Precinct in Union County, July 11, 1849. The mother was born near the same place as her husband, in the year 1802, and died two days after her husband. The death of both parents was from cholera, which was then epidemic in that section of the country. Our subject had seven brothers and three sisters, and consequently as he was compelled to assist at home his education was obtained in the subscription schools of his county. Soon after his marriage our subject came to Alexander County, and has since become one of the foremost citizens of that county. He has served his county in numerous capacities, was elected Sheriff in 1858, and served two years, and in 1863, was elected to the office of County Treasurer, and served in that capacity two terms and a half. Mr. Hunsaker was married in Union County, on March 22, 1849, to Adelia Worthington, who was born in the southwest part of Union County, December 12, 1824, and was a daughter of Benjamin and Nancy Worthington. This lady is the mother of eight children, viz.: Henry Harrison, Laura Catharine, John Hodges, Julia Alice, William Charles, Rosanna May, Florence and Dora. In politics, Mr. Hunsaker is a Democrat.

PITTSBURGH, MAY 30, 2008 – State Sen. Wayne D. Fontana today joined Governor Rendell, DCNR Secretary DiBerardinis and representatives of the PA Historical & Museum Commission, Riverlife Task Force, and the Allegheny Conference on Community Development at a ribbon-cutting ceremony to open 23 acres of the 36 acre Point State Park to the public.
"It has been almost two years since the announcement was made that work would begin on Point State Park to make much-needed repairs and improvements," Fontana said. "Today, we are giving the people's park back to the people so that they can begin to enjoy the many improvements that have been made."
Renovations to the park include new terrazzo and blue stone pathways, lighting, benches and bike racks. The lawns available to the public throughout the park have also been expanded and have new sod and grass. While there is more work to be done, Fontana acknowledge the importance of having the majority of this work done as part of Pittsburgh's 250th Birthday celebration.
"Point State Park is a pivotal part of Pittsburgh's birthday celebration. Just like it has been in the past, the park will be a gathering place for hundreds of thousands of visitors who come to downtown Pittsburgh. With the many birthday events scheduled, there will be even more opportunity to showcase the park to the region's visitors."
Remaining work on the park is ongoing and is expected to be finished by the end of 2009. That work includes changes to the river's side of the park, a restored promenade, a water landing and plaza for small boats, and upgrades to the fountain.
The Point State Park Planning process was begun in 2001, co-sponsored by the Riverlife Task Force and the Allegheny Conference. The planning process committee included 75 community leaders representing a broad and diverse constituency including representatives of several of the events held in Point State Park. The master plan features general and aesthetic improvements to the park that will better accommodate special events and streamline park maintenance.

While I endeavour to tie all the creative loose ends in my scattershot life, my new album "The Book of Women" is gradually garnering some positive feedback. I have an outline for a marketing plan that will be put into action in April (four months after the release, which is traditionally not the way to go but I just don't have the time right now). This will consist of the usual batch of associated merchandise, a mini-site and exclusive tracks/remixes, plus I'd ideally like to release it as a digital download to keep up with the yoof. Until then all's I have are two new poster prints, both with the same album cover artwork (which I blathered about last month) that's cropped for the actual CD but lends itself rather well to portrait dimensions.
There's a large print (35" x 23") and a medium print (20" x 16") both available to buy online. Pick one up and cover that blank space on your wall/door/soul!
As I'm always keen to jump on any opportunity to showboat, there are also posters available for two prior Struwwelpeter albums, one for the somewhat-nightmarish "Rapeseed" (2004) and three for the pinkier, bunny-ier "Agnosticaust" (2006):

We Hear A Lot About Antioxidants – But What Are They Really?
We hear this word often, but what are antioxidants really?

We hear this word often, but what are antioxidants really?
Antioxidants are substances or nutrients found in our food and drinks, which can prevent or slow the oxidative damage to our bodies.
What is Oxidative Damage?
When our body cells use oxygen, they naturally produce by-products called free radicals, which are able to cause damage to cells and tissues in our bodies. Antioxidants act like "free radical scavengers" and so are able to prevent and repair damage done by these free radicals.
READ MORE: These Are Officially The 8 Best Teas For Your Health
Research has shown that oxidative damage contributes to the development of many common health problems, like heart disease, macular degeneration, diabetes, cancer, are all. Studies have shown that loading up on vegetables and fruit, the main sources of antioxidants, lowers our risk of developing disease.
Antioxidants may also improve immune defences and therefore may lower the risk of cancer and infection.
What Are the Commonly Known Antioxidants?
Vitamin A and Carotenoids in carrots, squash, broccoli, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, spanspek, peaches and apricots (bright-coloured fruits and vegetables).
Vitamin C in citrus fruits like oranges, lemons etc., green peppers, broccoli, green leafy vegetables, strawberries, tomatoes and potatoes
READ MORE: 5 Signs You Might Have A Serious Vitamin B12 Deficiency
Vitamin E In nuts and seeds, whole grains, green leafy vegetables, vegetable oils and liver oil.
Selenium in fish and shellfish, red meat, grains, eggs, chicken and garlic.
Make getting enough vegetables and fruit part of your healthy daily eating plan, to get preventative power of the antioxidants in these foods – it's vital for your health. Combining this with active living, a healthy body weight and regular health screening will drop your disease risk even further.
Here are the 3 times you need to take a supplement, according to a dietician. Plus: What are amino acid supplements – and will they really improve your workout?

Corning, a name known from producing one of the toughest glasses for mobiles, has fastened its belt to come up with a scratch resistant glass. The Gorilla Glass producer is working on a new project that will combine the toughness of a Gorilla and at the same time add the scratch-resistance property close to sapphire.
The upcoming product dubbed as Project Phire is under development, as announced yesterday by Corning Executive James Clappin. He added that the product will start selling in the market later this year. He further said –
We told you last year that sapphire was great [...]
One of the most anticipated features of the new iPhones was the sapphire glass screen that would have made it practically scratch proof. But after facing multiple issues, the plan was scrapped. Apple was setting up a sapphire glass plant in the US state of Arizona, but its partner filed for bankruptcy in October last year. Now Apple plans to pump in heavy investments to convert the facility into a data center.
Apple had partnered with GT Advanced Technologies Inc in 2013 to manufacture the scratch resistant sapphire glass screens. The plans were dropped later, and the new iPhones came with hardened glass instead.
Apple had a lot of problems this year. Be it production delays or #Bendgate, the company has been in news for all the wrong reasons this year. Now, things seem to be going from bad to worse. Apple's sapphire glass supplier, GT Advanced Technology has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy with plans to shut down two production plants and lay off 890 workers.
It has been reported that GT has requested permission from the bankruptcy court to close down the Arizona plant, even after the company stated that it planned to remain operational while it reorganized its finances. In addition to requesting approval to shut down [...]

The IRS Large Business and International (LB&I) division publicly released a "practice unit"—part of a series of IRS examiner "job aides" and training materials intended to describe for IRS agents leading practices about tax concepts in general and specific types of transactions.
The title of the practice unit is: French foreign tax credits
The updated practice unit reflects a change in the IRS's position regarding the creditability of the French Contribution Sociale Generalisee (CSG) and Contribution au Remboursement de la Dette Sociate (CRDS) for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. An IRS directive—LB&I-04-0819-007 (August 2019)—announced the change in the IRS policy, specifically that the IRS no longer maintains a position that the CSG and CRDS are ineligible for a foreign tax credit under section 901.

Concussions are a growing area of concern in athletics, especially in youth sports. However, concussions can happen at any time to anyone – not just in athletics.
At the UB Concussion Management Clinic, our board-certified primary care sports medicine physicians diagnose and treat concussions, cranial trauma and vestibular injuries. For most individuals, concussion symptoms disappear after a week or so, although sometimes symptoms may persist for three or more weeks. This could be a sign of a condition known as post-concussion syndrome.
Traumatic brain injuries – TBIs – and concussions can cause a wide range of symptoms, with many of them similar to other conditions. That's why it's critical to work with the team at UBMD Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, where you'll find internationally recognized experts in the diagnosis and treatment of TBIs and concussions.
If you suspect a concussion, seek medical care to make sure that your condition is monitored and managed correctly. Consult your primary care physician and the UB Concussion Management Clinic for the most experienced concussion care in Western New York.

Meet Ameel Beesony, who grew up in Mauritius and has been living and working in the land Down Under for almost 11 years. Ameel is also fluent in French, another native language of this beautiful mountainous Island just off the southeast coast of Africa.
As Mark Twain once wrote, 'Mauritius was made first and then heaven, heaven being copied after Mauritius', Ameel thinks there is good reason in that and often talks fondly about Mauritius' stunning beaches and waters great for scuba diving and deep-sea fishing.
He now calls Australia his other home – and shares with Yen his advice on working and living as a lawyer in Australia.
Y: Tell us about what you do? What is your job like?
A: Sure! I am a Legal Counsel at the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science with the Australian Commonwealth Government. The department aims to "enable growth and productivity for globally competitive industries" through various ways. Practically, the department provides access to valuable resources and information (e.g. through its business.gov.au portal), and administers programs to support science and commercialisation, growing business investment, streamlining regulations and building high-performance organisations.
As part of the department's legal branch, I provide end-to-end legal advice to various clients comprising of the department's portfolios. These generally relate to such areas of law as commercial, privacy, statutory interpretation, constitutional, and a little bit of everything else. For example, I provide advice on funding agreements and other commercial arrangements. I also participate in inter-agency working group to facilitate the development legal documents used throughout the Commonwealth Government.
Y: Wow, thanks for sharing! How are your working hours?
A: It's great! The Commonwealth Government, and particularly my department, actively promotes its flexible working conditions. This includes "flex", which lets employees have flexible working hours (e.g. starting or finishing earlier or later, and working extra hours or less hours on certain days) provided the weekly working hours end up around 37.5 hours on average. Also, there are no assigned workstations, and you can switch desks around the office, or even work remotely from home or anywhere with an internet connection.
Y: Can you share with us the process of how you moved to Australia and started working there?
A: Of course. It was easier because I studied in Australia, so I didn't completely start afresh. Networking helps tremendously, but I also had a few casual jobs which added to my work experience. While studying for my professional qualification, I used to chat with the admin staff at my Law School's office to just say hi, and inquire about potential job opportunities. Do not underestimate the possibilities of conversations! They put me in touch with the right people, which is how I got my first professional job.
Y: With all your experiences, what tips would you offer those who looking for a job?
A: Ask around to learn what others have done – what worked and did not work for them. First, use all available resources including websites such as seek.com.au, local university's job billboard, state's law council job ads, and even LinkedIn. Even whirlpool's "graduate jobs" sub-forum is a great resource. Definitely contact recruitment agents, submit your resume and meet with them, and apply for relevant graduate programs.
I also used the "cold-calling method", where I called all (yes, all) law firms in my immediate location to find out which firm would consider recruiting. If they were not looking, you would save time by not sending them your resume. Before you call, make sure you do your research first! At least you will have something to talk about. Follow up in a week or so after submitting your resume if you've not heard back. For Australia, you will need an appropriate visa or otherwise you cannot apply for many jobs (including state government ones), which can seriously limit your chances.
Your resume and cover letter are incredibly important. Therefore, make sure they are tailored to each individual organisation you are applying for. While your resume and cover letter may be quite general at the start of your career, you should nevertheless try to tweak subtle details as appropriate. At a minimum, you should research each firm's areas of practice, size, and partners.
Y: Oh yes, The wait can be long and excruciating. Do you have any advice for those who are waiting to hear back from employers?
A: Definitely. I would say make sure you are still working. It does not matter the industry you are working in. Working casual jobs will firstly earn you money, and secondly help you develop transferrable skills that are generally useful and valued in all professions (e.g. try to develop your interpersonal and managerial skills, and develop experiences where you can demonstrate you are good team player).
Y: How do you think someone can stand out from the crowd?
A: Ultimately, I think it all boils down to being personable, possessing good communication skills and being a good team player. In my experience, these are the most important factors employers look for, and demonstrating these attributes will put you ahead of competition. Generally, grades matter much less than you think. Do not underestimate experience and skills developed in casual jobs. Use them to demonstrate you have good interpersonal skills, a winning personality and can work well in a team. Think of how you can dress up these experiences for your applications for professional jobs as these are all transferrable skills. For example, do not simply say you worked in hospitality or retail – demonstrate how you developed skills during your interactions with your team, manager and clients. Be creative.
There are a lot of resources available online on interview preparation, so I will not re-hash generic interview tips. My personal tip is to properly thank your interviewers at the end of the interview, and let them know you really want the job and look forward to an opportunity to work with them.
Y: What do you think are the some of the problems students or fresh graduates may face while job searching?
A: Students and fresh graduates may sometime lack motivation or get sick of applying for jobs particularly if they receive a few rejections. The truth is you must actively seek opportunities. All the time. There are hundreds of people applying for the same positions, so you need to set realistic expectations and most importantly, you need to be prepared for rejections and not let them get you down. Be resilient, and keep applying.
What I have learnt is that sometimes, employers may simply hire the first decent applicant who applies simply because they are satisfied with the applicant and do not need to wait any longer for 'the best applicant' to apply. This is usually for the smaller organisations as they have less processes. So, it can be as simple as you being the FIRST. Do not waste time, and apply immediately when you see an opening.
Y: If you could have dinner with one person in the world, dead or alive, who would that be?
A: Without hesitation, dinner with my mum who passed away in 2007, but who will always remain an inspiration, a big influence on me and a significant contribution to me and my achievements.

You are a busy little bee, Val. I'm doing small projects every day, just because. Don't really have a plan for anything. I just can't seem to focus. :/ Hope your day is great. Tammy

Police Group: 10 Opioid Crisis Actions for Law Enforcement
The Police Executive Research Forum has issued a report recommending the most effective opioid crisis actions law enforcement agencies can take.
As the nation grapples with an opioid epidemic that shows no signs of slowing down, the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) has released an extensive report on the state of the crisis and how law enforcement agencies are combating the issue. They also outline 10 opioid crisis actions police chiefs and sheriffs can take.
Introducing the report's findings, PERF Executive Director Chuck Wexler outlined the seriousness of the epidemic:
In just one year, 2016, nearly as many people died from opioid overdoses as all U.S. fatalities during the entire course of the Vietnam War," Wexler wrote. "And despite the huge amount of hard work and thoughtful strategies that police chiefs and sheriffs have thrown at this problem over the last few years, the crisis has not yet peaked. It is still getting worse, according to federal statistics."
Civic leaders are advised to review the full report, available in full below, which includes:
- How police and other agencies are sharing intel to fight fatal ODs.
- How police are working with overdose victims to prevent future drug abuse.
- The widespread adoption of naloxone in agencies and its effect on the crisis.
- The role of jails in drug treatment and rehabilitation.
- The importance of outreach to at-risk juveniles.
- Law enforcement's role in educating the public on the dangers of opioids.
- The complex legal issues tied to the crisis.
PERF's 10 Opioid Crisis Actions for Law Enforcement
On page 14 of the report, PERF describes the following 10 opioid crisis actions:
- Naloxone, here's a grant opportunity for kits
- Data collection, here's how they are using data to track and predict opioid overdoses in Cincinnati and throughout Ohio
- Early warning systems, here's how the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are funding systems
- Compstat, here's an example of data efforts are drastically reducing overdoses in Lowell, Mass.
- Get users into treatment, here's an example where emergency rooms in Ohio facilitate and a here's three things to know about assisted outpatient treatment
- Drug treatment in jails, there's funding to begin the process with grants for drug treatment court
- Strategic enforcement prosecution, here's advice on how to be strategic with opioid-related arrests
- Focus on prevention through public education, here's an example of education and training of fishermen in Gloucester, Mass.
- Work with partners, here's an example from LaCrosse, Wis., and one from St. Charles County, Mo.
- Encourage officer safety, hazmat concern amongst first responders is high
In addition, PERF profiles New York City's multi-agency, multi-pronged approach to the opioid epidemic, which includes outfitting their officers with naloxone, investigating all fatal and nonfatal overdose cases, early diversion programs and data sharing.

The CLEVER toothbrush works on the principle of polarity.
Every atom in the nature when it acquires or loses an external electron ceases to be neutral and results positively charged if it has lost an electron (positive ion) or negatively charged if acquires (negative ion ). Elements of the same polarity repel each other, while elements of different polarities attract each other.
The plate is then removed with success, even in the remotest corners, from your teeth and your mouth will be protected from dental problems (plaque, tartar, cavities, etc..), Gingivitis and bad breath.

Another You So I Could Love You More
I had a dream last night in which I found out that my life had been a delusion. In the dream, I found out that I had died in a car accident I had last summer as I was pulling away from the Nexus retreat in Oceano and I saw the semi just in time to pull onto the shoulder and shit my pants. (Not literally.) It blared at me as it drove by, but I was fine. In the dream version of events, I hadn't been so lucky and the past year had just been my brain's cute little way of fucking with me. I woke up completely awake but not really startled. Strange dream.

The University of Virginia-based radio program, "BackStory with the American History Guys," is bringing in some new voices and a fresh distribution format in 2017. Produced by the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities, "BackStory" is a weekly program that examines modern issues through the prism of American history.
On Feb. 3, Joanne Freeman of Yale University and Nathan Connolly of Johns Hopkins University will join current co-hosts Brian Balogh and Ed Ayers. Peter Onuf, the third original co-host, will step back into a more occasional role.
Freeman is a professor of history and American studies at Yale and is well-known for the influence that her research and writings on Alexander Hamilton had on the hit Broadway musical, "Hamilton." She is also a UVA alumna, having earned her Ph.D. in 1998 with Onuf, now the Thomas Jefferson Foundation Professor of History Emeritus at UVA, as her adviser.
"I'm excited – and honored – to be joining the 'BackStory' team, and to get the chance to explore the American past and present with Brian, Ed and Nathan," Freeman said. "Given my deep dives into early American culture and my expertise in dirty, nasty politics, I've got lots of juicy insights to offer."
Her fellow co-host, Connolly, is the Herbert Baxter Adams Associate Professor of History at Johns Hopkins and author of "A World More Concrete: Real Estate and the Remaking of Jim Crow South Florida." His expertise is on the 20th century and he focuses on the connections between racism, capitalism, politics and the built environment.
"'BackStory' strikes a chord with listeners who want the long view of popular culture and the year's headlines," Connolly said. "Now, as I join the 'BackStory' crew, I look forward to the distinct advantages and challenges of introducing listeners to a past they think they already know. You have no idea what you're in for!"
Both Freeman and Connolly have appeared on the show in past as guest co-hosts to discuss topics such as well-regulated militias and Judaism in America.
"I'm really looking forward to talking about property with Nathan Connolly," Balogh said. "There are few people who understand the history of property holding and the intersection of capitalism and liberalism in the form of property better than Nathan Connolly. And what's wonderful about working with Joanne, is the way she can move from high, traditional politics to broad social and cultural trends."
The show began eight years ago as a project between three colleagues in UVA's Corcoran Department of History. Onuf, an expert on Thomas Jefferson and the American Revolution era, was the "18th-century guy." Ayers, a Southern historian who was then dean of UVA's College of Arts & Sciences and now president emeritus of the University of Richmond, was the "19th-century guy." Balogh, a professor of modern American history at UVA and director and chair of the Miller Center's National Fellowship Program, was the "20th-century guy."
Together they've covered the history of everything from censorship to meat, to mourning practices and happiness in America – just to name a few show topics.
While Balogh and Ayers will stay on as co-hosts in 2017, Onuf will become an occasional contributor.
"Peter Onuf's rambunctious sense of humor, iconoclastic insight, broad vision and passion have given 'BackStory' much of its energy, irreverence, and relevance," Ayers said. "We're delighted that Peter will remain a part of 'BackStory,' with guest appearances on the show, and we know our listeners will always be happy to hear his resonant voice."
Along with host transitions, the show is also switching to a new, more flexible format. Currently, it's an hour-long radio program that is also available as a podcast, with an average of 447,000 downloads per month. "BackStory" will begin focusing on creating a podcast that experiments with format, length and response time to news events in 2017. Shorter, radio-friendly segments will also be available to public radio stations nationwide.
Balogh and Ayers recently began testing the new, shorter-segment format with an appearance on an episode of NPR's popular "Here & Now" program to discuss the phenomenon of fake news. They also began a series of "Short Takes" in November, covering topics like the history of FBI involvement in politics and the history of Native American treaties as it relates to the Dakota Access Pipeline.
"This new format allows us to respond to more breaking news," Balogh said. "The gestation period is much shorter for our podcasts. That allows us to be more timely and will likely increase the number of opportunities for our hosts to appear on platforms that reach millions of people. It's going to be an exciting change."

Letter to the editorBy Reader Contributed
Independent MPs matter
Tuesday saw the Federal Government lose a legislative vote on the floor of Federal Parliament for the first time in about 80 years.
The bill in question, proposed by Independent MP Kerryn Phelps, aims to make it easier to bring unwell asylum seekers from Manus Island and Nauru to Australia for treatment.
They would then be sent back once they're healthy enough.
Whether you agree with this particular policy proposal or not, it makes things very clear — Independent MPs can have a real impact on decisions made in Canberra. Even after just three months in the job.
Andrew Bock, Independent candidate for Nicholls

Great advice from Mark Lee over at AccountingWeb!
Whenever I have cause to speak with an accountant for the first time, I look them up online and check out their website. If it stands out positively in some way I often compliment them on this. All too often however I find myself offering constructive observations. As I frequently find I'm saying the same things, this article focuses on what I consider to be the seven most common mistakes. This list is longer than a similar one I shared a few years ago and which is referenced in the related reading list at the end of this piece.
