Central Communications Command
- "CAD Operator" redirects here. For the occupation related to the use of CAD, see: Drafter or Mechanical designer.
The Central Communications Command (CCC, also known as Metcall) is the largest Operational Command Unit OCU of London's Metropolitan Police Service. It sits within Territorial Policing, the business group within the Met that is responsible for Borough Policing and public contact. It is responsible for receiving emergency and non-emergency public telephony within the Metropolitan Police and between the police and the public & other forces, taking over from a number of smaller communications rooms scattered throughout the service. The "C3i programme", intended to modernise command and control and combine the MPS's communications into a single department was led by Sir Ian Blair prior to his promotion to Commissioner; the transition to the new system began in 2004 and was completed in December 2007. The OCU was intended to be known as "Metcall", selected by an internal staff competition, but this name is the registered property of the UK Meteorological Office. There are three main command-and-control at Hendon, Bow and Lambeth.

Previous command and control system[edit]
Historically, each of the Met's Borough Operational Command Units (BOCUs) had its own control room, known internally as the 'CAD Room' (for Computer Assisted Despatch) which dealt with incoming non-emergency telephone calls and with despatching police officers to all calls in that area. In addition Information Room at New Scotland Yard received 999 calls which were sent to the CAD Room to be dealt with. In 2004 staff began to migrate on a borough-by-borough basis to Metcall, with Southwark being the first BOCU to move.
The C3i programme[edit]
Led by DAC Ron McPherson and Dr Amanat Hussain, the C3i programme (Communication, Command, Control & Information) was the largest police transformation programme undertaken in the UK. Working with Chief Superintendent Stephen MacDonald, the Operational Command Unit (OCU) Commander for CCC, the C3i programme modernised the command and control infrastructure to create seamless communications service for the Metropolitan Police Service to give the people of London a robust and resilient response policing service, getting the right people in the right place at the right time with the right information. The C3i Programme delivered optimised end to end Command and Control processes, new operational command unit (Central Communications Command), new Casualty Bureau Facility, largest Special Operations Room, Integrated Borough Operations Rooms and Telephone Investigation Bureaus services.
Despite criticisms of public sector programme, the MPS successfully delivered a complex organisation transformation programme. The Office of Government Commerce (OGC) in their final report said that "C3i has been well managed and has been delivered to time and to budget programme" and went on to commend the senior programme management team of having "done an excellent job, particularly as the implementation has been into a live operational environment".[1]
New command and control system[edit]
Following completion of the C3i programme in late 2007, all Met communications are dealt with at three dedicated centres at Hendon, Bow and Lambeth, covering west; north and east; and south London respectively.[2] Within each centre is a call receipt facility, called First Contact and a dispatching facility called Dispatch. In First Contact call takers sit in pods of twelve positions, each pod having its own supervisor. Dispatching pods have two or three dispatcher and one supervisor position. The size of the dispatching pod depends on how busy the borough that it supports is. Patrol officers are dispatched through the Airwave radios and by sending information direct to the MDT terminal in every police vehicle.
Call handling[edit]
Any caller calling police will be passed to a First Contact operator. If the call needs to be recorded by the police, a record is made on the Contact Handling System, a tailored iteration of the AIT Portrait CRM product. If an officer needs to be dispatched, this record is passed into the Computer Aided Despatch (CAD) application, and a CAD record will be created.[3]
Graded response[edit]
Once the initial information has been inputted, the CAD will be allocated a grade of urgency. All calls are given one of four grades:
- I grade ("immediate response") — calls which in the operator's opinion constitute a genuine emergency. The target response time for all "I" graded calls is within 15 minutes, and in any event to be attended as soon as possible.
- S grade ("significant priority") — these are calls which, in the operator's opinion, do not constitute a genuine emergency but nonetheless need to be attended as soon as possible. To preserve forensic opportunities or to maintain public confidence "S" grade calls must be answered within 60 minutes. All "S" graded calls are intended to be attended within one hour.
- E grade ("extended time") — these are calls which in the operator's opinion require attendance, but for various reasons do not require a response target time. The grade is most frequently used when the caller has indicated that they are unavailable and an agreement is made to attend at a later date.
- R grade (referred) — all calls which in the operator's opinion do not require any response; mainly either calls where the operator has offered advice and this has resolved the problem, or duplicate calls to incidents of which the police are already aware and dealing.?[3]
Once the CAD report has been created, it is passed to the relevant Dispatch for the borough in question to decide what officers to deploy to it. The Supervisor (see below) can change the grading of the call if necessary, but only in exceptional circumstances.
During the programme transition there were a number of challenges with late technology and the preparedness of staff to work in the new environment, and not all performance targets were met. As the new OCU bedded down, performance consolidated and the command now achieves all of the national call handling targets set by the Home Office through the HMIC and NPIA.
Integrated Borough Operations (IBO) units, originally set up in Borough Commands to support local officers have been closed, and their functions have been absorbed into CCC.
Contact Handling System[edit]
The Contact Handling System (CHS) is a software application intended to provide more information to call handlers when taking emergency calls.
CHS differs from the older CAD system and from systems used by other emergency services worldwide in that far more information can be input into the system by the CAD Operator and the information can be retrieved and sorted more easily. However, it has proven unpopular thus far with CAD Operators and Police Officers; operators consider it unnecessarily complicated to use, and police find CHS-derived information difficult to interpret, particularly via MDT terminal.
It was intended that CHS be brought into place upon each OCU/BOCU's transfer to the Central Communications Command. However, the system proved unstable and incapable of dealing with high call volumes and the old CAD system was kept in place.[4] It is now intended that the two systems run in parallel until 2012.[5]
Criticism of the new 'CHS' system[edit]
Central Communications Command hit the headlines in 2006, when Peter Smyth, a spokesman for the Police Federation condemned the Contact Handling System by describing it as "at best unreliable, and that's if it works at all". He added that "Metcall will have taken 900 officers off the beat by the end of next year, and meanwhile, an ever-growing army of community support officers who walk around like gaggles of lost shoppers have been recruited to take the places of these experienced officers in the streets".[6]
Press reaction to CCC and the C3i programme[edit]
The local press in London, particularly the Evening Standard, were initially very critical of Metcall, often citing concerns about the perceived increase in the time taken to answer telephone calls and to deploy police officers to incidents.The reality since 2009 is that the MPS performance in answering emergency and non emergency telephony has seen significant improvement, particularly with non emergency telephony.[7][8] A number of local newspapers have also raised concerns about the loss of local knowledge due to operators no longer dealing only with a single small area.[9] It is hoped by MPS management that, following the completion of the transition to the Metcall centres and a subsequent stabilisation of staff turnover rates, any shortcomings will cease to be an issue and more efficient staff working will free up those police officers currently at CCC to return to an operational role, further improving the MPS's efficiency.[10]
Staff structure[edit]
Central Communications Command is unique within the Metropolitan Police in its staff structure. It is both the largest Operational Command Unit in the MPS (and the United Kingdom) and the only one where many of its operational roles are staffed by civilian staff. Consequently, it has a different structure to all other branches of the MPS. CCC retains sufficient police officers to maintain the 999 answering and Dispatch service should civilian staff strike, in posts identified as requiring a police officer in legislation, and in senior and intermediate positions where command is exercised.
Duty Officers[edit]
Each of the three Metcall centres has two Duty Officers on duty at any given time (making a total of six on duty across the three centres). One of the Duty Officers is always a serving Inspector, whilst the other is always an experienced member of the civilian staff. The Duty Officers bear ultimate responsibility for decisions taken within the centre, and are also responsible for staff welfare within their centre.[11]
CAD Supervisors[edit]
Each "pod" - generally covering between two and four Operational Command Units - has two CAD Supervisors. Their role is to oversee the Operators, to take control of particularly difficult situations, and to have final say over when an incident can be 'closed'. In addition, one or two Supervisors will oversee the First Contact process (see above), ensuring calls are dealt with correctly.[12] The role of Supervisor is filled either by a Sergeant or by an experienced member of the civilian staff.
Supervisors are commonly (but incorrectly) referred to as "Controllers"; the post of Controller was a historic post prior to the introduction of the C3i programme, and was responsible for the supervision and staff welfare of CAD Operators on a particular borough. On transition to Metcall centres, the majority of Controllers became Supervisors at Central Communications Command.
CAD Operators (Communications Officers)[edit]
CAD Operators (also known as Communications Officer or Civilian Communications Officer) make up the majority of operational CCC staff. Most are civilian, although some posts are filled by Police Officers on secondment due to staff shortages. It was intended that by the end of 2007 the position would be entirely civilianised.
Job role[edit]
CAD Operators perform two functions. In the First Contact (FC) role (also known as call receipt), they answer 999 and non-emergency telephone calls to police and enter the details of the call onto the MPS computer system. In the Despatch role they read the details of the calls as entered by First Contact, decide on the appropriate action to take, and, when police deployment is necessary, assign police officers using Airwave radios or by sending information directly to the MDT terminal of police vehicles. Most CAD Operators rotate between the two roles, but some are dedicated to one or the other.[13]
The title "CAD Operator" comes from the Computer Assisted Despatch program that the MPS has used since 1984; while this system is still in use, it is gradually being superseded by the new Contact Handling System application.
On the introduction of the CAD system in 1986, each Metropolitan Police Division had a 'Reserve Room' with a 'Reserve Officer' using a paper based system to manage locally deployed resources. The 'Reserve Officer' recorded non emergency calls directly from calls to the police station, and received emergency (999) calls from a teleprinter which was connected to Information Room at Scotland Yard, where all of London's police 999 calls were received. Call volumes and demands at that time meant most stations had one or two 'Reserve' officers, smaller stations had one officer in the role.
As the new CAD system was rolled out the Reserve rooms were closed as each Division opened one or more CAD rooms. These were staffed by shifts of between three and seven police officers and civil staff.
In 2004, local CAD Operators began to transfer to the new Metcall centres; the transfer was completed in December 2007.[2]
Operator numbers[edit]
There are just over 2,000 CAD Operator positions within the MPS, and approximately 400-500 theoretically on duty at any given time. Due to staffing issues stemming from the transfer to the Metcall centres, the numbers are currently much lower,[14] and a number of police officers have been seconded to Central Communications Command to fill vacancies; this removal of officers from active duties led to some controversy. While the Metropolitan Police Authority intended to eventually have all CAD Operator positions filled by civilians, allowing police officers to return to active duties, this civilianisation was stopped in 2010 as it was recognised by the MPS that total civilianisation would create a significant risk to London if the CCC staff went on strike and police officers (who cannot strike by law) were not trained and familiar with CCC processes.[10]
Staff shortages[edit]
When the C3i program began to be implemented in 2004, it was extremely controversial both within and outside the Met. A number of staff were reluctant to relocate to the new centres, and were also concerned about the substantial changes to their job role. Due to concerns about large numbers of potential staff shortages, the controversial 'Career Management' scheme was introduced; this meant that for some time prior to the introduction of Central Communications Command all staff currently working in CAD Rooms were barred from transferring to any other department within the MPS.[14] Despite this, a number of existing staff resigned from the service altogether rather than transfer and serving officers are reluctant to transfer to Central Communications Command due to concerns they may not be released for some time. Notwithstanding this, the staff 'churn' rates of around 12% in CCC compares very favourably with similarly sized commercial call centres which often have churn rates in excess of 30%.

How Building Automation Can Help Your Office Become More Efficient
Businesses are constantly looking for new ways to increase efficiency in the office. Automation might just be the answer, yet too often is it overlooked. This might be because office automation is usually considered as just turning the lights on or off, or changing the temperature. Yet as you'll see below, it can so much more than that. Sure, using workers to complete tasks, like changing the temperature or securing the office in the evening, may seem like It doesn't make much of a difference, yet small things add up.
Continue reading to see how office automation can help your business become more efficient.
Save time and money
A more efficient business saves more money. Money which can be invested into other areas, allowing you to make more. Automation ensures that activities which would normally be carried about by human workers can be completed without incident or mistakes. Not just lighting and temperature control. Processes which were previously long and complicated can now be streamlined and completed automatically, without the need for additional staff.
Reduce energy use
Whilst cutting energy use at home may not make that much of a difference to your monthly electrical bill, in a busy office is can mean a lot. For example, lighting can be adjusted so that it changes in relation to ambient light from outside, allowing for one of several different levels, instead of just on or off. Additionally, automatic scheduling can allow for temperature adjustment depending on the season.
Reducing energy consumption through office automation means you're not wasting money on something which can be avoided. That money can then be invested in something which helps your business to grow.
Gather useful data
Data is valuable for any business and knowing how your office works can make a huge difference in determining what choices you make. You'll be able to maximise on efficiency by knowing how often lights and other facilities are used. By knowing this, you can change office habits which dampen efficiency. One business, Kohl's (http://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy14osti/57269.pdf), maximises on efficiency through long-term data tracking and centralised collection. The data they collect allows for them to be alerted if something can be changed to save energy and money. You can also use this data to help other businesses and organisations, allowing you to become a thought leader within your field. This, in turn, will place your business in a position of respect and authority.
Keep the office Secure
Security now means more than just locking your doors. Office security automation means that you can make sure the office is secure and check on it whilst you're not there. Automation systems, including CCTV, can be accessed through the internet whilst you're at home. Moreover, if something happens – like a door is opened in the middle of the night, or there is a fire – you'll be alerted straight away on an internet accessible device.
Make your employees happy
Automating processes have a hidden perk, and that's making your employees happier. By adjusting temperatures automatically, a comfortable and moderate atmosphere will be provided, one which doesn't get too hot or cold before someone has to turn the air conditioner on. Moreover, office temperature can be changed before employees even arrive in the morning, allow them to step into a comfortable office, ready to work.
Building automation is a key tool in ensuring maximum office efficiency. Make sure to consider it as the next step for your business.
At Home of Technologies, we can offer you everything property automation related, from planning and design to products and devices.

Top Ten Gates
- Gateway of the Sun (Gate of Viracocha), Tiwanaku, Bolivia
The so-called Gate of the Sun is a megalithic solid stone arch or gateway constructed by the ancient Tiwanaku culture of Bolivia over 1,500 years before the present. It is located near Lake Titicaca at about 3,825 m above sea level near La Paz, Bolivia. The object is approximately 9.8 ft. (3.0 m) tall and 13 ft. (4.0 m) wide, and is constructed from a single piece of stone. The weight is estimated to be 10 tons. When rediscovered by European explorers in the mid-19th century, the megalith was lying horizontally and had a large crack going through it. It currently stands in the same location where it was found, although it is believed that this is not its original location, which remains uncertain. The Gate of the Sun is a valuable monument to the history of art and ancient architecture. Some elements of Tiwanaku iconography spread throughout Peru and parts of Bolivia. Although there have been various modern interpretations of the mysterious inscriptions found on the object, the engravings that decorate the gate are believed to possess astronomical and/or astrological significance and may have served a calendrical purpose.

- Brandenburg Gate, Berlin, Germany
The Brandenburg Gate is a former city gate and one of the most well-known landmarks of Berlin and Germany. It is located west of the city center at the junction of Unter den Linden and Ebertstraße, immediately west of the Pariser Platz. It is the only remaining gate of a series through which Berlin was once entered. One block to the north stands the Reichstag building. The gate is the monumental entry to Unter den Linden, the renowned boulevard of linden trees which formerly led directly to the city palace of the Prussian monarchs. It was commissioned by King Frederick William II of Prussia as a sign of peace and built by Carl Gotthard Langhans from 1788 to 1791. Having suffered considerable damage in WWII, the Brandenburg Gate was fully restored from 2000 to 2002 by the Stiftung Denkmalschutz Berlin (Berlin Monument Conservation Foundation).

- Ishtar Gate, Babylon (Present Day Iraq)
The Ishtar Gate was the 8th gate to the inner city of Babylon. It was constructed in about 575 BC by order of King Nebuchadnezzar II on the north side of the city. Dedicated to the Babylonian goddess Ishtar, the gate was constructed using a rare blue stone called lapis lazuli with alternating rows of bas-relief mušḫuššu (dragons) and aurochs. The roof and doors of the gate were of cedar, according to the dedication plaque. Through the gate ran the Processional Way, which was lined with walls covered in lions on glazed bricks (about 120 of them). Statues of the deities were paraded through the gate and down the Processional Way each year during the New Year's celebration. Originally the gate, being part of the Walls of Babylon, was considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World until, in the 6th century AD, it was replaced by the Lighthouse of Alexandria. A reconstruction of the Ishtar Gate and Processional Way was built at the Pergamon Museum in Berlin out of material excavated by Robert Koldewey and finished in the 1930's. It includes the inscription plaque. It stands 47 feet high and 100 feet wide (14 m by 30 m). The excavation ran from 1902–1914, and, during that time, 45 feet of the foundation of the gate was uncovered. The gate was in fact a double gate. The part that is shown in the Pergamon Museum today is only the smaller, frontal part, while the larger, back part was considered too large to fit into the constraints of the structure of the museum. It is in storage. Parts of the gate and lions from the Processional Way are in various other museums around the world. Only three museums acquired dragons, while lions went to several museums. The Istanbul Archaeology Museum has lions, dragons and bulls. The Detroit Institute of Arts houses a dragon. The Röhsska Museum in Gothenburg, Sweden, has one dragon and one lion; the Louvre, the State Museum of Egyptian Art in Munich, the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology in Philadelphia, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Oriental Institute in Chicago, the Rhode Island School of Design Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, Connecticut, each have lions. A smaller reproduction of the gate was built in Iraq under Saddam Hussein as the entrance to a museum that has not been completed.

- Meridian Gate and Gate of Supreme Harmony, Forbidden City, China
The Meridian Gate is the southern (and largest) gate of the Forbidden City. It has five arches. The three central arches are close together; the two flanking arches are farther apart from the three central arches. The center arch was formerly reserved for the Emperor alone; the exceptions were the Empress, who could enter it once on the day of her wedding, and the top three scholars of the triennial civil service examinations, who left the exams through the central arch. All other officials and servants had to use the four side arches. Above the arches are a series of buildings. The central one is the palace of nine bays wide, with double roofs. In each side, the 13 bays-wide building, single roof, connects the two pavilions on the top. The Emperor of China reviewed his troops from this location during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Its superstructure is also called the "Five Phoenix Turrets" because it is composed of five buildings. Imperial proclamations and almanacs were issued from the gate house. After successful campaigns, the Emperor received prisoners of war here, sometimes followed by mass decapitations. Although urban myth has it that senior officers were executed here in Imperial China; in reality only corporal punishment was actually carried out. Behind the viewer is Duanmen Gate, the principal entrance to the imperial palace grounds. When proceeding northward through the palace grounds, the next major gate encountered is the Gate of Supreme Harmony.

- Janganmun, North Gate of Hwaseong Fortress, South Korea
Janganmun, known locally as Bungmun (North Gate), is the largest such gate in South Korea. Some believe this is intentional, as it is through this gate that visitors from Seoul will have entered Suwon and this would be in keeping with King Jeongjo's original desire to move the capital of the country to Suwon. Janganmun's stone base is capped with a two-story wooden pavilion. A small, semi-circular protective wall known as an ongseong, is located outside the gate. The gate was destroyed in the Korean War and reconstructed in the 1970's.

A/N: Hellooo everyone :D Sorry there's been a bit of a gap between updates this time :S But, seeing as I've made you wait a few weeks for this, I thought I'd make it a bit of a longer chapter. I hope you enjoy! Please review and let me know :D Love ya xxx
Chapter 21
After about an hour, the Doctor's eyes finally flutter open.
"Wh...what the...?" he mumbles, feeling incredibly disorientated for a split second before realising his head is in Rose's lap, so everything must be rather fine.
She looks down at him, her eyes wide and bright now that he's conscious, and relief is flooding through her. "I thought you were never gonna wake up," she whispers softly. "You've never been knocked out like that before. My legs of gone numb sitting like this for so long," she adds, chuckling lightly.
"Sorry - " he begins, moving to sit up, but Rose shakes her head and pushes him back down. She quite likes him lying there, her taking care of him like this.
And really, he's quite comfortable, looking up at her from this position, so he lets her keep him there. " – So. Where are we? Did you find out anything about out captors?" he asks brightly, absently fiddling with the hem of her t-shirt with one hand.
"Well, I don't know what the ship is, or why they've stopped, or why we've been thrown in the prison cells..." she tells him, biting her lip.
"Ah. Well, that's useful," he replies, and she gives him a stern look.
"He's very secretive, ok? He wouldn't reveal anything. However, I know that someone we know has been talking to him, because he was saying all sorts of stuff about us..."
"What sort of stuff?" he asks warily, feeling terribly guilty he still hasn't told her about him.
"Oh, erm...just...stuff," she mutters, blushing. "About us, before we...you know. Et cetera..."
"Right," he says, nodding quickly.
"And he told me his name's John Hart. You recognise the name?"
"No...um...nope, not a clue."
"So what?"
"So, who do you reckon has been telling him all that stuff about us?"
The Doctor swallows nervously. It's time to tell her. "Rose. There's something I've been meaning to tell you. About this place. And who's...here."
"Oh?" she says, staring down at him in confusion.
"Yeah. Ok, first things first, how much do you remember about the Gamestation?"
"I...well. Only what you've told me. You know, how you kissed the Time Vortex out of me and that," she replies, an eyebrow raised and her lips upturned in a slight smirk.
"Quite. But do you remember anything about when you had all that power inside you? Do you remember what you did?"
"What, you mean, killing all the Daleks?"asks Rose, her brow furrowing.
"No, no. Other than that..." He sighs. "Rose, you didn't just...kill...that day. You brought someone back to life, too."
"What?" she whispers, shocked into almost-silence.
He sits up, shifting to hold her hands. "Someone who died, someone you cared about, Rose."
"Oh my go – Jack? You mean Jack? He died and I brought him back?" she cries in disbelief.
"Yeah. Except, you couldn't control it properly. You...you're so brilliantly compassionate and loving, truly the best of humanity, Rose. And you brought him back for good."
"He can't die. You made him immortal. And I...out of extinct, I just ran away from him. He shouldn't exist and I was regenerating and I just...I took us away..."
"You just left him there? Didn't you think about how he would feel? How confused he would be? How much he'd need us? How much I'd need to say to him?" she exclaims accusingly, her voice rising.
"I'm sorry. I am so sorry."
"And you kept this from me, all this time. I made him immortal, and you didn't even...Oh god. Oh god, he's going to hate me," she says, realisation dawning.
"Why would he hate you? You brought him - " he begins.
"Are you stupid? You said yourself how difficult it is, living for so long, watching the people you...care about 'wither and die' - I made him like that, and he'll hate me for it. Maybe not right away, but sooner or later, when he's lost everyone, he's going to hate me for making him like that...and we just left him there..." She bites her lip, staring hard at the wall, blinking back tears.
"I'm sorry..." begins the Doctor.
She turns her fiery gaze on him again. "It's not me you should be apologising to, is it? I think we both need to apologise to him."
"I know. I know, Rose." He gives her hands a quick squeeze, and is relieved when she doesn't pull them away.
She relaxes her angry stance a little, and lets out a long breath. They are both silent for five or so minutes. Maybe six. The Doctor doesn't really know what else to say. She must be really furious with him; she isn't meeting his eyes anymore. On the plus side, she hasn't removed his hands from hers yet, so maybe she isn't ready to jump up and leave him. Yet.
Then, to his surprise, she chuckles slightly, breaking the silence, before saying, "He's sooo gonna kill you."
He sighs in relief, glad to have her talking again. He missed hearing her voice just then. Wait. It was only for five minutes. Is he really that bad? So incapable of lasting very long without her talking to him?
"Probably," he murmurs. Whether it's an answer to her question of his he's not even sure. Perhaps both.
"I wonder whether your next regeneration will be better looking?"
He pokes her in her waist with one finger. "Oi! Don't say that."
"He is though. He's going to kill you. Right after he's given you a great big snog. He won't be able to resist you, now that you're all..." she pauses, meeting his eyes once more. "...Foxy. I guarantee it."
"Oh yeah? Thanks. And what about you?" he replies.
"Oh, he can't kill me. He loves me too much."
"Right. Great," he mutters sarcastically.
Then she remembers something. "Wait a sec. So...Jack. Is he here?"
"Yeah. TARDIS sensed it somehow. Somewhere on this ship, Jack Harkness is most probably flirting with some - "
" - Wait. John Hart said he was working for someone, that's why he'd been ordered to throw us in here. Do you think...do you think Jack's behind this?"
"Do you think he'd do this to us?" he asks her, genuinely curious to see what she thinks. Because honestly? He doesn't have a clue.
"No. We're his friends," she assures him, and herself, confidently. Then she adds thoughtfully, "Pretty bad ones, for just leaving like that, but you know."
"You said he's going to kill me."
"Yeah, I said that. But he won't. He couldn't. He loves you too, you know."
"That's nice to hear."
"But who could it be then? He's obviously friends with this John fellow, close enough to share all his memories of us with. So what the hell is going on here?" asks the Doctor.
"I don't know. But I do know that Jack wouldn't hurt us, not really. What do you reckon he's been doing since we left him on the Gamestation?"
"What hasn't he been doing would be a more appropriate question relating to Jack Harkness, don't you think?"
"Well that's a bit rude," comes a voice from beyond the door to the cell. Then the man behind the voice, John Hart, steps up and unlocks the door.
"You come to set us free, then?" asks Rose hopefully.
"No, sorry Blondie. I just thought I'd come see how you two are doing. Well. Not him, so much. Just you, honey."
The Doctor, already scowling at John, watches him reach down and stroke Rose's cheek. He stands up abruptly, wincing slightly at the pain in his head, and squares up to John. "She's fine. She'd be better if you stopped touching her and let us out of here."
"Ooh, touchy. You're very possessive of her, aren't you?"
"Yes," answers the Doctor honestly.
"Why's that then?" inquires John.
The Doctor ignores his question. "What's going on here? Where's Jack?"
"You remember him, then?" John smirks.
"Of course we do," pipes up Rose, standing up too.
"I heard your little conversation. And you know what, you're right, sugar. Jack's here. But he's not the one...oh, I really shouldn't be telling you this, but...I like you. And you know, we're friends, right?" John says, reaching out and twirling a strand of her hair between his fingers. The Doctor tries not to contemplate the things he's contemplating right now, which involve that very large piece of metal over there and John Hart's head. But he can't help it.
However, to the Doctor's delight, Rose gently removes John's hand from her hair and puts her own hands on her hips, elbows out. He knows that this means she means business, and she isn't going to stand for John Hart being all...John Hart-like. Which, consequently, is similar to Captain Jack-like. Basically, the fact of the matter is, Rose is the Doctor's and she knows that. Which makes him very happy indeed. And that look on her face – utter determination – that is a bit lovely...
"Yes. Please, tell us what's going on here. We can help," she says, as the Doctor comes out of his quiet contemplation to listen to her speak.
"Exactly," puts in the Doctor, dispelling all his jealous thoughts. If this man needs their help, and if Rose trusts him, then he should too. "Who's in control here?"
John flinches. "You really don't want to know. But it isn't Jack. He just got a little caught up in a bit of a bad plan of mine, and now I've got him stuck here."
"Where was he before?" asks Rose.
"Oh, he was on Earth. Twentieth century earth. He's working with this little team...they have a base and everything. In a bit of a strange place, mind you. But anyway. A proper hero, he is," laughs John.
"What's it called? This team? What does he do?" asks the Doctor.
John averts his eyes. "Um...yeah, that's something I can't tell you about. Could cause a paradox or something, apparently. I don't really get half the stuff he comes out with, but he insists he learnt it all from the best..." he trails off, nodding a head in the Doctor's direction.
"Right. Yes, of course."
"And he was waiting for you to show up. Says he has some unfinished business."
Rose swallows nervously, and the Doctor nods his head once. "I can understand that," he replies.
"And then," John continues, "I showed up. Told him I had a lovely surprise for him."
"Was that the first time you met him?" asks Rose.
"Hell no. I knew him way back. Back when he was a Time Agent. Before he abandoned the Agency to go search for his memories or whatever – which is when you came in, I believe. Anyway, long story short, we were partners...in more ways than one. Well, sort of. We got stuck in a time loop for quite a while. Had to put up with him for ages, and you know what he's like," he says, winking. Rose smiles.
"So this 'lovely surprise' you had for him? What was that?" asks the Doctor.
John folds his arms in a defensive gesture. "Right, well, there's a small, maybe rather big, chance that I'm not proud of this, so don't judge me. But I...well, I was in a spot of bother with the Arcanians - "
" – Ahhhh," sighs the Doctor in realisation. Rose turns to look at him with a question in her eyes. "They're a race of intergalactic traders – traders in all sorts of things: energy, money, diamonds, pineapples – you name it. Very nice people, if you negotiate and make a fair deal. Very, very not-nice people if you rip them off," he explains to her. Then he turns back to John. "Which I'm guessing you did?"
"Hey, I said don't judge me! Jack used to be a con-man too, and you befriended him!"
"One, I'm not judging you, and two, he befriended Rose first; I was much more opposed to opposed to the idea of him coming on board."
"Yeah, but he grew to love him," Rose tells John, shooting a sideways glance to the Doctor that told him 'You know I'm right.'
John smiles. "Well, anyway. Yeah. I um...sort of tried to trade them my motor – a ExtX 480, you know..." he adds, for the Doctor's benefit. Judging by the way the Doctor's eyebrows rose in appreciation just then, Rose is guessing that that is one cool spaceship. "...for one of their Xops 8000's. But...well, there was this controversy over the fact that my ExtX 480 accidently didn't exist anymore, due to my not-friend-anymore blowing it up – Rita, her name was. Nice girl. Crap at mechanics. Evidently. Anyway..."
The Doctor leans towards Rose while John continues his story, and whispers, "Are you getting Déjà vu here?"
"God yeah. It's like he's him. No wonder they were...you know," she murmurs back.
"...what's that?" asks John, noticing his audience is now chattering amongst themselves.
Rose bit her lip to keep from laughing. "Just saying...you two must have been made for each other. You and Jack," she clarifies.
"Maybe once. He's changed now. A lot. Thanks to you two," he says, and Rose can't help but notice the tiny scowl he sends their way briefly.
"So...?" the Doctor prompts. "Why did you call on Jack?"
"I managed to escape from the, um...'trial' that the Arcanians were 'giving' me. Honestly, if you could call it a trial...Mind you, they'd have had me hung, drawn, quartered and fed to a Nestene Consciousness – if such a thing still existed - immediately if I hadn't pointed out that that would be wrong, according to Article 876 of their new deal with the Shadow Proclamation – you know, when they got into trouble with them a bit too often, and had to make a sign of peace or something to stop them going over the top in their punishments..." At this, the Doctor nods, acknowledging the information as fact.
John continues, "So, I escaped – very skilfully, I may add, and pressed something or other on this thing..." he pauses, holding up his wrist, where Rose can now see has a familiar-looking Vortex Manipulator attached to it, albeit a smaller one than Jack's. "...ended up on Earth. Yuck. That wasn't fun. Landed in a swamp on some distant continent. Travelled to some sort of civilisation, i.e. London. But, I didn't realise Jack was on Earth – I wasn't looking for him. But then, I accidently bumped into him, and thought 'aha! There's a man who can help me get out of a spot of bother!' Turns out, he's about as capable of laughing/flirting his way out of trouble amongst a group of Arcanians as me. And now, we are both trapped here, on their HQ sort of ship, awaiting our...um...well, our execution. I've been let out of my cell to sort you two out, but Jack..."John trails off, not able to meet their eyes any longer.
"What? Where's Jack?" asks the Doctor.
"He's got this...this ability now. I think it's what you were talking about in here earlier – I couldn't make out all the details, but from what I gather he's immortal, right? So, the Arcanians – Bob in particular - didn't take it very well when, after they shot him down dead, Jack simply gasped back to life and stood back up again."
Rose feels sick, knowing that she's responsible for him going through the pain of death over and over again, only to be brought back alive each time."And now?" prompts Rose.
"Now, they're experimenting on him. A lot. And it ain't pretty."
"What exactly are they doing?" asks the Doctor, though he has an idea.
"Ooh, think about the biggest electrical pulse you've ever seen run through a living person, and then times that by about 1000," states John unflinchingly. But Rose can tell, in his eyes, that he feels guilty for what's happening to his friend.
Don't they all?
"Ah," murmurs the Doctor. Then, his sombre look turns cheerful. "Well, where is he then? Let's go save him!" he cries enthusiastically.
His enthusiasm diminishes as soon as John silences him with a look of his own.
"We wouldn't be able to reach him. There are loads of guards down there – at the bottom of the ship."
The Doctor shakes his head. "We'll find a way," he assures him.
Rose nods in agreement. "And you can let us out right?" Rose asks John.
John looks torn. On one hand, he knows he should, because if anyone has a chance of saving both him and Jack it's the Doctor (or so he's heard.) But on the other hand, he's been ordered by the chief Arcanian to keep these 'intruders' locked up, and if he found out that he'd released them, he'd have no chance of survival.
"Um..." he begins.
"How about..." the Doctor starts thoughtfully, understanding John's dilemma at once. "...you go back to wherever you're supposed to be, and we'll escape this cell all by ourselves. That way, it's not your fault; it's the fault of whoever is supposed to be guarding us."
"And what about those people who are guarding outside that door then, eh?" points out Rose.
"Weeeelll, as John goes out, he might accidently-on-purpose knock them out, so that it looks like we've done it..."
She tuts. "Doctor," Rose begins, in a mock-admonishing tone, "I thought you disapproved of violence."
"When you're up against the Arcanians, believe me, there's little else choice," pitches in John, to which the Doctor gives an acknowledging shrug. "Ok. I'll do it. But I can't exactly leave the cell door unlocked, or else they'll know that - "
" – it's alright. Lock the door. I've got my sonic screwdriver. As long as it's not a deadlock seal, I'll be able to get us out of here in a jiffy," interrupts the Doctor.
"A sonic...?"
"Screwdriver," supplies Rose.
"Riigghhht," John replies, looking between the two of them oddly for a moment. Then he regains his composure, salutes them, and makes his way out. "Good luck," he calls over his shoulder, and as he locks the cell door, he adds a genuine, "And thanks."
The Doctor and Rose stand and wait for a moment. After hearing a few punches being thrown and an 'Owww!' promptly followed by utter silence, they reckon that John has done his job.
The Doctor smiles his mischievous smile at Rose, and retrieves the sonic screwdriver from his pocket. He's about to unlock the door, when he pauses contemplatively. "You want to do the honours?" he asks Rose, holding it out to her. She looks at him for a moment, a quizzical frown on her face, but then shrugs and takes it off of him.
She fiddles for a moment, adjusting the setting to the one she knows he usually uses in situations like these – setting number 12, to be precise – and points it at the lock. The Doctor watches, wondering whether she'll be able to do it. Maybe this wasn't the best time to be teaching Rose this stuff, not when they had their old friend to save, but you see, it suddenly occurred to him that she might need to know how to do this one day, if she's trapped with nothing but it and not him. Although, why she'd have it but not him is a bit of a hazy area. Although, if she had her own one...
He's brought out of his musings when Rose yelps and jumps back after a spark hits her arm. She looks at him impishly, biting her lip in that delicious way she does. "Oops?" she offers. The Doctor smiles at her, and is about to retort, when he suddenly stares right past her, at the door that's gently swinging open.
"No...no, no, not 'oops,'" he replies, pointing at the door.
She turns around. "Ohhh," she says, giggling. "Cool."
And that's when he thinks about how lovely she is, and how her laugh is like music to his ears, and he thinks he might tell her the other thing he should have told her a long time ago, the very thing he's been planning on telling her for ages now.
He steps towards her and links their hands. "Rose Tyler - " he begins.
" – Alons-y!" she finishes, breaking into a sprint, and for once, it's her dragging him along.
As the two of them run, weaving their way through the corridors, trying to find some stairs or something to take them down to where Jack supposedly is, the Doctor realises that with a life like theirs, there's bound to be a few distractions from saying things that need to be said.
But one day, he won't get interrupted, and she'll know what he knows she wants to know.
Because he'll tell her.He just WWe

Firstly, I would like to address feminism in a way which is comprehensive, so I will begin with some opening arguments.
(1) Feminism was a movement launched with the intent of ending stigmas women faced.
(1a) During the great depression in America, women faced harsh gender biases when attempting to find work. Women who attempted to attain employment, economic success, or even self-dependence, were often accused of thievery and stealing opportunities from their male counterparts. According to the article, "Women And The Great Depression" by Susan Ware, ""Women who sought relief or paid employment risked public scorn or worse for supposedly taking jobs and money away from more deserving men." The previous quote does in fact prove that women faced stigmas exclusive to them, and thus those stigmas gave them difficulty when trying to find employment. This therefore proves the need for feminism.
(1b) Feminism has accomplished many many things for the sake of women; ranging from reducing gender pay inequities, granting women the right to the suffrage, allowing them to wear clothes, participate in the entertainment industry, and even has allowed them to serve in government positions. According to an article by the History Network, "For almost 100 years, women (and men) had been fighting to win that right [suffrage]: They had made speeches, signed petitions, marched in parades and argued over and over again that women, like men, deserved all of the rights and responsibilities of citizenship." Again, this is evidence that feminism, a movement which was initiated to advocate for the escalation of women's statuses in society to be equal to men's, does in fact benefit women.
(1c) The very definition of feminism is also proof that feminism operates predominately in the interest of women who face gender stigmas, however, it does also operate in favor of both:
: the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes
: organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests"

I think that this is an appropriate size/length for an opening argument, I will therefore hand the floor over to my opponent.

Now let's talk statistics. Only 20% of women openly identify as feminist. That was a 2015 poll by m.huffpost.com/us/feminism-poll_n_3094917.html. In 2014, 28% of the American population identified as feminist. Yet 82% of people support gender equality. I am one of those 82%. I am not a feminist though.
Now, let's talk about feminists claiming "opression." Let's face it. Women in the U.S. are not oppressed. If you want to see opression, look at the middle east. Women there are basically forced to wear clothing that the majority of them object to wearing. They aren't even aloud to drive. That's opression. Having a door held open for you by a man because he wants to be nice is not opression.
Finally, let's talk about women claiming that they do not have equal rights to men. Women actually have more righgs than men.
1. Women have the right to genital integrity. No matter how you feel about the practice of circumcision, girls are protected against genital cutting of any kind and infant boys are not.
2. Women have the right to vote without agreeing to die. Women gain the right to vote by simply surviving 18 years. Men, however; cannot be eligible to vote until they sign with the Selective Service. This means they will have to be shiped off to war and be willing to die if deemed necessary by the government.
3. Women have the right to choose parenthood. Women can have an unwanted child aborted, put up for adoption or surrender the child under Safe Haven laws and be freed from all responsibility and obligation of the child without consulting the father.
4. Women have the right to be assumed caregivers for children. When parents divorce, the mother is almost always given custody of the child. The father, however; has to be verified as a worthy caregiver.
5. Women have the right to call unwanted, coerced sex rape. This means that if a woman coerces sex with a man, then decides later that she doesn't want it, she can call it rape and the man can be convicted.

Overall, feminism is a corrupt cause full of unjust ignorant little girls who have been blinded by society into thinking that they are opressed and have less rights than men. It's ridiculous. Thank you.
Libertarian_Jacquelyn forfeited this round.
Anyways, I will now take this time for rebuttals to your arguments - I guess this kind of messes with the structure of the debate, but we'll go with it.
(1) Feminism is necessary because men are not victims as often as women.
(1a) There are many fields and layers of society in America where both men and women equally suffer, or where one suffers more than the other. In legal institutions, men tend to be more victimized than women of injustices stemming from their anatomical sex. For instance, in custody dispute cases, men tend to be viewed as womanizers and as the aggressor; whereas women tend to be viewed as fragile, weak, and as dependent on the legal system. Therefore, in accordance with social norms as well as gender appropriation, women tend to be aided more by the system with biases because they are viewed as unable to protect themselves without some means of affirmative action. However, this is changing, and therefore demonstrates that men do not necessarily require any assistance in this particular field or an expansion of their "rights". An article by Villainous Company perfectly describes it with numerous studies across a few states in America; the results were chilling and bore a stark contrast with public perception on the issue. For instance, in their first study (Massachusetts), 2100 cases were analyzed where fathers wanted to dispute in court for custody of their children. 29 percent of fathers got primary custody, where only 7 percent of women got primary custody. That is a large gap. Women clearly need assistance in legal institutions, contrary to popular belief. Therefore, I ask that you dispel the notion that women do not need feminism.
(1b) Several sources across the internet have reported that men are raped more often than women - when accounting for all prison assaults. However, accounting for street harassment and sexual violence faced by women, statistics have shown that women are raped 5.6 times more often that are men. During wartime, rape also disproportionately affects women, whereas men are considerably less victimized by rape. This is all explained by the Women Under Siege Project's article. The rape culture surrounding men also only tends to be sharp during times of war, but the average is sustained as 1 in every 71 men in the U.S, according to an article by Wikipedia. According to the same article, in 2013, 28 percent of heterosexual and 48 percent of bisexual women were raped - and that was between the ages of 11 and 17 alone. These figures are substantially higher.
(2) Radical feminism does not represent the whole movement.
(2a) It is undeniable that radical feminists - those who wish to institute a matriarchy into society - do exist. However, it is not true that these people represent the entire movement. The distinction to draw comes down to two categories of feminism; one is 'radical feminism' and the other is 'liberal feminism'. Radical feminism seeks to install a matriarchy - a society where women are dominant and men are subordinate. The reason for this demand is two things; 1) the general distaste for men because of objectification and 2) the current society where men are institutionally superior to women. While this theory is wrong, it has some sentiment shared with liberal feminism, which is expressed in a much less extremist fashion. Liberal feminism seeks to implement legal policy which diminishes biases and stigmas faced by men or women stemming from their anatomical sexes. The following quote from 'Radical vs. Liberal Feminism' perfectly reflects this general concept, "Liberal feminism is rooted in the belief that women as well as men are rights bearing, autonomous human beings". Once more, liberal feminism demands that all genders are treated equally within a given society, whereas radical feminism demands the institutionalized supremacy of women over men.
(2b) It is true that feminism is losing its popularity, where only 20 percent of women openly support the movement. But there are many factors to take into account; for one, there is a severe radicalization occurring over the internet. People often perceive feminism's ambitions because of radicals on Tumblr and other social media outlets, and therefore conclude the movement is the same. This scrutinizes even just the name of the movement, and surely discourages people from joining it. But there is also the fact that feminism is an opposition to the status quo, and those who reap the benefits will often socially suppress opposition to their means. Those above - mainly within corporate America - will pay politicians to run campaign platforms that pertain to their interests - especially when their privileges are being questioned. This also pushes people away from the movement; propaganda and the fact that the movements are gagged by media and other important ways people communicate.
(2c) Feminism is not just advocating for gender equality within the United States, but generally within the world. Just because there are feminists in America does not mean they only serve the interests of American women. Conditions faced by women within the Middle East only goes to show that there is a global need for feminism and its corresponding legislative implementations. Forced genital mutilation upon women across various countries, particularly within Africa, are the kinds of things that empower feminism. There is still a global struggle for women. Just as for instance, LGBT Rights Movements would also be vocal about the conditions LGBT community members face in other nations where they are under harsher conditions (i.e Middle East, Africa).
You made the following talking points that I would like to individually refute.
1. Women have the right to genital integrity in America? Of course they do. Unlike with men, it is not necessarily feasible to demand that your daughter be circumcised, considering nothing of interest or particular significance would linger there to be cut. With men, that's a different case entirely. But this is also omitting the underlying concept behind circumcision; when a man has no foreskin, it reduces discomfort, enables them to clean themselves easier, and decreases risk of infection (i.e smegma).
2. Selective Service does not quite mean men are absolutely required to join the military if the government sees fit. The draft, a system wherein people are sent to war by force, no longer exists because it is not seen as constitutional. Forcing people to fight and die for America's [fraudulent] causes does not particularly seem reasonable nor within the basic human rights of our citizens. Therefore, there really is no right to complain about Selective Service, although I personally would say that neither men nor women should have to register in it.

What makes you think the PRO debater is upset in their opening statement?
Also, the CON debater just need to call out the ad hom and focus on the ACTUAL points at hand.
Posted by DoctorFight 2 years ago
^ Debate.org is inundated with debates like these, were some dude tries to "debunk" feminism because it makes them upset for some reason ("excuse for women to complain"). Look: if you really want to test your beliefs, try arguing CON on this argument, so you'll have to actively research information contrary to your own. There's nothing intellectually noble about opening the floor to a debate when you're already confident in your position - YOU'RE being just as overly ideological as the "complaining feminists" you're attempting to debunk.
But if you actively can't even OPEN an argument about a subject without an ad hominem, you ought to rethink your personal relationship with the argument at hand.

Reasons for voting decision: Conduct- Both sides forfeited, but pro more than Con. But, Con didn't follow the rules outlined by Pro in the opening round (Con posted Opening Arguments in Acceptance Round). Thus, Conduct is tied. Spelling/Grammar- Pro misspelled many word including "aloud" when he meant to say "Allowed". Thus, con wins here. Convincing Arguments- Con wins this because she was able to defend her own points in the final round, which pro wasn't able to do. Sources- Were all pretty reliable so not discrepancy here.

Ohio (OH) Motorcycle Shipping
Safe And Reliable Ohio Motorcycle Shipping Services By A-1 Auto Transport
Ohio motorcycle shipment is simple with all of the wonderful companies in Ohio ready to ship your bike to you. With the right shipping company, your bike can arrive safely in Ohio so that you can travel one of the many highways going through the "Heart of America."
Up north, Ohio has the beautiful coastline where it meets Lake Erie, and as you drive south, a motorcyclist will see farms and cornfields as far as the eye can see. Ohio is a wonderful place for a biker. If moving there or going there for a while, ship your motorcycle over. There are many motorcyclist activities and bike nights where you can make new friends throughout the state.
Motorcycle Shipping Methods to Choose From
There are quite a few ways to have a motorcycle shipped to Ohio, or anywhere for that matter. Not all shipping companies will offer the variety of motorcycle shipment methods listed below, but they are available and some are a bit safer than others. It is all a matter of preference and budget, but don't be afraid to spend a little extra for shipment to assure your bike's safety.
- Enclosed Shipping – a safe form of shipment for motorcycles. The bike is placed in a container for shipment.
- Open Air Shipping – the motorcycle is placed on top of a trailer or flat bed for shipment. This isn't the safest method seeing as the bike is open to poor weather and road conditions, but it is the cheapest.
- Crated Shipping – the absolute safest form of motorcycle shipment. This requires the bike to be drained of fluids and the battery must be disconnected. It is then placed on a wooden pallet, strapped down, and put inside of a trailer or container.
- Door to Door Shipping – this is when the motorcycle is picked up at a person's home or other specified address then dropped off at another specified address.
- Terminal to Terminal – the bike will need to be dropped off at a terminal location for shipment. It will then need to be picked up at another terminal. This might be inconvenient if a terminal isn't nearby.
Some shipping companies will offer insurance for the motorcycle's shipment. It is up to you, but it will help if a bike were to suffer some damage during shipment.
