The Green School for Boys?
The Green School Trust have applied to open a new free CofE boys' school
The Green School Trust propose opening a new school for boys only to open in September 2016.
The application has been submitted to the Department for Education and a result is expected by Easter.
There is a prospective parents evening on Monday 24th February from 7-8.30pm at The Green School.
More information about the new school can be obtained on www.tgsboys.net
While no one is doubting the need for a new secondary school in Brentford, the first priority should be for an inclusive co-educational community school as the nearest ones are Elthorne Park (in LB of Ealing) and Chiswick school' both of which are heavily oversubscribed.
The Green School Trust claim their school will be inclusive but with 50% of the places being 'Foundation' and 50% 'Open', religious faith will play a factor.

Beijing / NYC – Mongolian folk metal band TENGGER CAVALRY is re-recording their demo album Blood Sacrifice Shaman with all new folk instrumentation for official worldwide release on Metal Hell Records in 2015. Currently all principal recordings have been completed and the album will soon enter the post production & mixing stage.
The title, concept and artwork of this album reflects the philosophy of ancient shamanism. Shamanism is the earliest religion in human history, which exalts nature, the grassland, forest and animals. A shaman is a person with the wisdom to understand nature, they could travel to the heavens to communicate with the gods of the wild. Blood sacrifice is one of the most primal forms of sacrifice, with the offering an animal's blood to the sky father to show veneration.
TENGGER CAVALRY's third official album, the critically acclaimed Ancient Call (2014 Metal Hell Records) saw them explore the field of pagan folk metal at an all new level, gaining praise from folk metal fans worldwide. Ancient Call retained the characteristic brutal sound from the first official album Sunesu Cavalry (2012) and the moody melodies found on the second release The Expedition (2013). The re-recorded Blood Sacrifice Shaman promises to continue TENGGER CAVALRY's tradition of releasing some of the most original and exciting albums in the folk metal genre!

WASHINGTON — The White House says an opinion piece by its trade adviser that's highly critical of Dr. Anthony Fauci is the adviser's opinion "alone."
USA Today published Navarro's piece Tuesday evening under the headline "Anthony Fauci has been wrong about everything I have interacted with him on: Peter Navarro." It outlines the ways Navarro says he has disagreed with Fauci, who is the leading U.S. expert on infectious diseases and serves on the White House coronavirus task force.
"Dr. Anthony Fauci has a good bedside manner with the public, but he has been wrong about everything I have interacted with him on," Navarro wrote. "So when you ask me whether I listen to Dr. Fauci's advice, my answer is: only with skepticism and caution."
Alyssa Farah, White House director of strategic communications, tweeted Wednesday the piece by trade adviser Peter Navarro "didn't go through normal White House clearance processes and is the opinion of Peter alone."
Farah added President Donald Trump "values the expertise" of the medical professionals advising the administration. But Trump has also broken with Fauci and publicly accused him of making "mistakes" in his public guidance about combating the virus.
Navarro had shared his views with some reporters and the column comes as allies of Trump, including others inside the White House, have been waging a campaign to discredit Fauci.
Dan Scavino, another senior adviser to Trump, posted an image to his Facebook campaign depicting Fauci as "Dr. Faucet," washing the U.S. economy down the drain.
"I can't explain Peter Navarro," Fauci told The Atlantic in comments published Wednesday afternoon, after the op-ed was public. "He's in a world by himself. So I don't even want to go there."
Facui told the magazine the White House has not offered an apology. Fauci says he has given no consideration to resigning and no longer has one-on-one contact with the president, but is in regular contact with executive branch staff.
Asked about the challenge of working for the same administration that is actively trying to undercut him, Fauci said, "Well, that is a bit bizarre. And I have to tell you, I think if I sit here and just shrug my shoulders and say, 'Well, you know, that's life in the fast lane ...'
I cannot figure out in my wildest dreams why they would want to do that. I think they realize now that that was not a prudent thing to do, because it's only reflecting negatively on them."
On Tuesday morning, before the op-ed drama, a top member of the White House coronavirus task force pushed back on White House insinuations that doctors and the CDC were lying to the American public about the pandemic. That followed retweets by Trump of a former game show host who alleged a conspiracy by government agencies, medical professionals, the media and Democrats, apparently to hobble Trump's reelection chances.
Asked on NBC's "Today," Adm. Brett Giroir said some mistakes have been made during the unfolding coronavirus crisis and that public guidance is updated when more is learned about the new virus, "but none of us lie. We are completely transparent with the American people.
Fauci was once a ubiquitous figure in daily task force briefings, but hasn't spoken publicly at the White House since late April. Fauci has regularly been more candid in warning of the virus's risks, and the dangers of a hasty reopening, than Trump himself and other administration officials.
He declined to comment to The Atlantic about why he was on television so much less frequently: "I can't make a comment on that."
White House criticisms of Fauci have drawn pushback from Republican circles. "We don't have a Dr. Fauci problem," Senator Lindsey Graham, a Trump ally, said Tuesday in South Carolina, according to The State newspaper.
"The attempted trashing of his reputation by the likes of a kook like Peter Navarro is a disgrace," Tony Fratto, a White House aide under George W. Bush, tweeted Wednesday. A Baylor University professor called the op-ed an "outright and full blown Antiscience disinformation campaign coming out of the White House."
Fauci, speaking Tuesday before the op-ed was published, was asked about criticism bubbling up from the White House. "It doesn't bother me. I have a job to do and I do it. I don't pay attention to noise, I pay attention to substance. All of that is noise," he replied.
To The Atlantic, Fauci summed it up this way: "Ultimately, it hurts the president to do that. When the staff lets out something like that and the entire scientific and press community push back on it, it ultimately hurts the president. And I don't really want to hurt the president. But that's what's happening. I told him I thought it was a big mistake. That doesn't serve any good purpose for what we're trying to do."

Best Practices for Scrap Car Removal in Brampton: know the Top Dos and Don'ts
A large percentage of Canada's end-of-life vehicle (ELVs) originates from Ontario, the home province of Canada's ninth-largest city, Brampton. It's, therefore, safe to say that car scrapping is prevalent in Ontario cities, including Brampton. If you are considering scrapping your vehicle in Brampton, it's wise to know the best practices for the process. This helps you to get the best price for your junk, to be on the safe side of the law, and to avoid frustrations.
Here are the top Dos and Don'ts for scrap car removal in Brampton.
- Find A Well-Reputed Scrap Car Dealer
A critical thing to do when scrapping your car is working with a reliable and well-reputed scrap car removal company. The dealer should be registered and licensed by the appropriate province and federal agencies. Moreover, only authorized treatment facility (ATP) is allowed to provide certificates of destruction to junk car sellers.
- Notify The Car And Driver Registering And Licensing Department
When scrapping your vehicle, it's statutory to legally transfer the ownership of the vehicle to the scrap car dealer. For Canada's vehicle and driver registration and licensing department to effect the ownership transfer, it's a requirement for you to submit section 9 of your logbook. Before submission, be sure that you and the scrap car dealer sign the document. Ownership transfer strips you of the responsibility for the vehicle and any future liabilities that may be associated with it.
- Have The Necessary Documents With You
Documentation is critical for legal and proper scrap car removal in Brampton. First, locate your V5C (logbook). It contains section 9, whose function has been described earlier. Once you remove section 9, you should hand over the remainder of the V5C to the ATP. If you can't find your logbook, notify the responsible federal department through writing. Note that some ATPs don't collect junk cars without a V5C form since it acts as proof of car ownership. Besides, ensure you have proof of your home's address and at least one photo ID.
- Claim Tax And Insurance Refunds
Before a scrap car removal company collects your junk vehicle, claim any full months of unused road tax. You should receive your tax refund within six months. Besides, contact your car insurer to ask for a refund. Alternatively, you can get the insurer to credit the refund to the insurance policy of your new vehicle.
- Giving Away Your Car
A dealer may tell you that your junk car is worthless and even go further to offer to tow it away for free. Why would they take a useless junk? Keep away from dealers who act like they are doing you a favor. Never give away your scrap car; it's still worth something.
- Removing Some Parts
Stripping some parts of your car reduces the scrap weight and value. A junk car without some parts attracts disappointing prices. Besides, getting a market for the parts you remove is not guaranteed.
- Accepting Cash Payment
Be wary of any car junk removal company that pays in cash in Brampton. Although quick payment is recommendable, cash payment may yield troubles in the future. It's impossible to trace a cash payment, and this becomes a significant issue when the dealer is on the federal radar for wrongdoing. Accept a check or bank transfer.
Brampton residents need to keep in mind the above best practices for car scrapping. Implement them to score high value for your junk car and keep away from trouble.

In this baby kale salad I added farm fresh ingredients such as radishes, cucumbers, red onions, and bell peppers. And to add a bit of extra tang I added in sharp white cheddar.
Oh the beauty of a good balsamic vinegar. When balsamic is aged to perfection it can transform any salad into something special. This is especially true when you want to keep the dressing simple to show off fresh salad ingredients. Which is what I did with this baby kale salad.
The inspiration
I had picked up a beautiful bag of baby kale and mixed greens from the farmer's market, and it only seemed fitting that I keep any additives to a minimum. Enter this aged delicious balsamic vinegar.
Good aged balsamic vinegar a gift to salads
Aged balsamic vinegar is more thick and syrupy sticking to the greens adding their sweet tangy flavor. With good balsamic vinegar you don't even have to bother making a dressing.
Just drizzle the vinegar on the salad along with good olive oil, salt and pepper and you'll be amazed how delicious your salad will turn out.
Folks, this salad was so good the family cleaned out the entire bowl and asked for more!
Baby Kale Salad with Aged Balsamic Vinegar
1 bag mixed baby kale and greens
4 pink radishes thinly sliced
4 lunchbox peppers thinly sliced
1/2 small red onions thinly sliced
1 Persian cucumber thinly cut
White Cheddar cheese cut into bit size pieces – as much as you want
Aged balsamic vinegar – about 3-4 tbsp
Extra Virgin Olive Oil – 2 tbsp
Salt and pepper to taste
Edible nasturtium leaves and flowers (optional)
Gently toss all the greens, radishes, peppers, onions, and cucumbers. Garnish with cheddar cheese and flowers. Cover and place in refrigerator until ready to serve.
When ready to serve drizzle with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Sprinkle salt and pepper. Toss all the ingredients together. Serve immediately with crusty bread.

Exploration Update and Management Reorganisation
Montréal – TheNewswire - September 13, 2021 – St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp. (CSE:SX) (CNSX:SX.CN) (OTC:SXOOF) (FSE:85G1) is pleased to provide an update on its multiple exploration initiatives currently underway on three of its mineral projects focusing on energy metals and gold and located in Iceland and on the Québec North-Shore.
Thor Gold Drilling Report
The first of 22 planned drill holes ranging from 125 to 500 meters in depth is underway on the Thor Gold Project in Iceland. Drilling targets will allow for infill drilling and twin drilling of some of the historical holes to allow a NI 43-101 resource estimate and for the future definition of the gold deposit. This campaign is fully funded and should stretch over the next three months for a total of 4,060 meters.
Picture 1. Drill Rig on Thor Gold Project
The first of two core drill rigs has been moved on-site at Thor. Currently, three holes have been completed for a total of 478 meters. As with many drill programs, the drilling at Thor has some issues that are being resolved.
The first hole, TH 1, was abandoned at 84 meters due to poor recovery and issues with drilling methods. Hole 1 appeared to end in mineralization, but recoveries were very poor towards the end of the hole.
Hole TH 1B offset TH 1 by three meters and redrilled the same sequence. Although this hole was able to reach 110 meters, the recovery remained poor through what was perceived to be the target zone at about 80 meters. Drilling continued to 110 meters, where the core rods became stuck and suffered a complete recovery loss. The hole was terminated in a second altered and possibly mineralized zone. The team suspected from recent mapping and historical drilling that at least two and possibly three zones of gold-bearing alteration may be present as mineralized zones that are either parallel or in repeating fabric of veins opened up along a sigmoidal curve.
Hole TH 2 has just finished at a targeted depth of 184 meters. This hole intersected two zones of alteration with quartz-adularia veining and clay alteration. This appears to confirm the potential for additional mineralization within the Thor trend.
Samples have been submitted to the ALS assay laboratory in Ireland, and results are awaited.
Julie Nickel Project Drilling Report
Drilling is ongoing on the Julie Project. 5 holes have been completed so far on the first drilling phase for a total that is now exceeding 2,500 meters.
The first four holes consist of deeper holes configured to accommodate a significant down hole geophysical effort that is to be completed in mid-September.
Hole 5, which was not part of this effort, will need to be redrilled as Hole 5B when the Company restarts drilling later this fall after the pause taken during the big game hunting season. The drilling encountered problems after drilling over 500 meters of length while in a significant fault. Solutions are being studied in order to twin drill this hole using technologies and material that would secure the hole integrity and allow the Company to complete drilling of its expected 650 meters plus length.
The drill rig has been moved in the vicinity of the Bastien showing located about 400 meters west-south-west of the Julie Trench #1. The area had two Phase 2 holes planned that will be initiated today and could be completed before the hunting season break.
Manicouagan Palladium Project Exploration Report
Surface exploration consisting of mapping, trenching, and sampling via different methods, including an important channel cutting and sampling program, is underway. Vegetation and glacial till overlying much of the area coupled with lack of access and a few lakes provide some extraordinary issues to overcome. Trenching is focused on the geophysical targets first identified by aerial geophysics and then followed up by Beep Mat on the ground. Landing sites for the helicopter are being prepared for each trench area. Several of the new trenches have uncovered similar massive sulfide zones previously targeted at the Bob Showing. These new finds will be targeted within the 10,000 meters shallow drill program that is set to start this month.
In parallel, the systematic cutting and logging of the historical cores at our contractor locations in Ville de La Baie are ongoing. The Company expects to send a significant number of samples to the ALS labs for analysis over the coming weeks.
Management Reorganisation
Certain concerns with management were raised as the Company deploys its mineral processing technology and negotiates with governments, interested third-party potential commercial partners, and puts in place an Annual Information Form (AIF) Prospectus.
Conflicts of interest related to other businesses and personal holdings have put Mr. Gary Johnson, a director and long-time collaborator of St-Georges, in a particular position that needed to be remediated. Mr. Johnson has resigned from his board position, and the board of St-Georges has accepted his departure effective immediately. Gary will act as an advisor in the future on initiatives related to nickel-copper metallurgical processes that are not in conflict with St-Georges' imminent start of industrial operations.
Frank Dumas, COO and Director of St-Georges Eco-Mining, said, "Gary's influence on the board of directors will be sorely missed. To date, we have kept him siloed from activities that may cause a conflict of interest, which is not a situation that could continue ad infinitum. We look forward to working with Gary on special initiatives, and he will always have a place on our team."
A similar dynamic, together with the evolution of the new mandate of Mr. Paul Pelosi Jr. within EVSX, has now required him to step down as an officer and director. Paul will be taking the role of Environmental Advisor to the Board of St-Georges. As the Company ramps up its lobbying activities in the USA over the next few quarters, management believes that this change in the management and directorship structures will allow its main resource more freedom of operations.
Frank Dumas, COO and Director of St-Georges Eco-Mining, said, "Paul is a tremendous asset to our team, and we did not want to lose him due to the appearance of political influence. Moving him to the position of Environmental Advisor opens up more opportunities to capitalize on Paul's strengths for the entire St-Georges operation."

The technical information contained in this report in regards to Iceland has been reviewed by Herb Duerr, P.Geo, a qualified person as per NI 43-101.

Talking works
Word of mouth? In spite of huge adspend, 53% of moviegoers still rely on personal recommendations. 57% of Palm Pilot owners bought because of personal recommendation (echoed in recent Blackberry growth).
Palm called this their 'humble marketing' with a mantra to 'under promise and over deliver'. It's a strategy many of us would do well to adopt.
According to Malcolm Gladwell in the ubiquitous 'Tipping Point', the essential rules are that people can 'hardly hear you', are skeptical, and are very, very connected. Social networks are incredibly complex - even a network of just 100 people has 4,950 possible linkages. It is still easier to talk than send an email and an increasingly interesting interaction is people combining word of mouth with web-based communications. Drive traffic via people and advocacy.
Importantly, events create buzz, so it is vital to examine this output - what do you want people to talk about post-event and how? Emotion, loyalty and advocacy - these are three key factors to successful word-of-mouth.
Creative Concern learnt this through its climate change pledge campaign for Manchester is my Planet. This was largely a networked and viral campaign that achieved an audience penetration level of 12% in just two months and accessed a total of 350,000 people through known networks. The campaign accessed a media audience of 4 million - but the conversion rates were much poorer through conventional media than for networks. When the employees of the University of Manchester were emailed saying 'Hey, let's all take a pledge and do something about climate change', there were 200 instant pledges online; when the campaign got a spot on breakfast radio, only 20 pledges were made.

Best Hair Transplant-Find out the Right Hair Loss Situation
August 25, 2020
Most Individuals who suffer from baldness consider a hair transplant to restore their hair. In a surgical hair restoration scalp is considered as the prime donor but in severe hair loss conditions, your scalp may no longer have enough hair follicles to donate to the recipient site. In these cases, the all-new body to scalp hair transplantation technique comes in.
Body to scalp hair transplant is an essential technique for sufferers who have limited donor hair supply on their head. Using the FUE technique, hair follicles are obtained from certain parts of the body, including beard, chest, back, and legs. The obtained hair tissues are then harvested at the recipient areas (where the baldness occur) of the scalp.
Here are few pros and cons of the body to scalp hair transplant.
The body to scalp hair transplantation is a life-changing procedure for those who don't have donor hair supply on the scalp. It enables every sufferer of hair loss to get the strands back on his/her head like ever before.
In spite of the fact that body hair transplant gives a chance to numerous patients to recover their lost hair, it has a few detriments too. Plucking the donor hair follicles from the body is difficult as compared the extraction of hair from the scalp. Singular extraction of hair is already a time-consuming procedure and body hair extraction makes it even harder.
The hair on our body isn't of the same quality as the hair on our head. Body hair varies in their length, surface, and shading. Besides, hair on our head happens as gatherings of 1-4 hair. These gatherings are known as unions. Then again, our body hairs are constantly single strands. Because of these reasons, body hair does not create similar outcomes as in the case of scalp hair transplant.
As you are left with the only option that is to transplant hair from the body. We won't leave you alone and try to help you get most out of it. Here are some tips to maximize the outcomes of body hair transplant.
Due to the availability of high standard facilities and skilled surgeon, Dubai and Abu Dhabi has become one of the most favorite regions to undergo the hair transplant. Thousands of people every year visit the Middle East just to solve their hair loss problems through hair transplant in Abu Dhabi. With the latest facilities and hundred percent customer satisfaction, hair transplant clinic Dubai is leading the race to provide the best body to scalp hair transplant in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Preparing for a Swine Flu Pandemic: Issues for EmployersJanuary 1, 0001
In a sign that A/H1N1 swine flu may be spreading, the World Health Organization ("WHO") on Wednesday raised the pandemic threat level to 5, and reports are that the swine flu has spread to nine countries on four different continents in recent weeks, with at least 148 confirmed and many more suspected human cases. WHO reports that "[t]he situation continues to evolve rapidly." For our clients, a potential pandemic raises significant employee safety and health issues, as well as the specter of the business continuity challenges that accompany high employee absenteeism and incapacitation rates.
The classic case we are seeing, at least for now, involves an employee who experiences or is perceived to experience flu-like symptoms in the workplace. If employees are infected, inaction may lead to a spreading of the virus and a perception that the employer has ignored the risk. If the virus is not present, incorrect action and panic can lead to accusations that the employer has violated laws, such as federal and state disability laws. Employees could also start contacting government agencies on their own if there is a perceived lack of attention.
We have been guiding clients through these issues as the frequency of "suspicious" cases increases. With still much uncertainty regarding the course this virus will take, each employer can and should take steps now to reduce the risk of exposure to pandemic influenza in their workplace, and also to reduce the risk of exposure to potential liability that can arise if appropriate steps are not taken. Handling these issues involves a very purposeful and organized approach, through ideally a "Pandemic Planning Team" in the workplace, centralized crisis management (for the education for employees, communication with employees, and decision making), and implementing heightened infection control protocols in the work place.
Preparing for a swine flu pandemic presents a number of logistical and business continuity -- as well as legal -- issues for employers. Given the impact of other recent disasters such as the Avian flu and hurricanes like Katrina and Ike, it is clear that employers have no choice but to safeguard their employees and businesses through careful preparation, while weighing the legal issues that arise.
We hope that the below memorandum is helpful for our clients. We also set out below some websites with which you may want to become more familiar. If you have any questions, you can direct them to our labor and employment law partners Scott Dunham in our Los Angeles office (213 430-6060 - email@example.com) or Jeff Kohn in our New York office (212 326-2067 - email@example.com), or to any O'Melveny partner with whom you regularly speak.

Druids can only be one of two races: Tauren, or Night Elf.
There isn't much to divide the two available races for a Feral DPS. I recommend picking whichever faction your friends play, or, if you haven't got any friends, which race you think looks cooler! Personally, I can't resist the male Night Elf aesthetic.
Tauren are the only available race for Horde Druids. They benefit from War Stomp, a useful AoE stun in PvP, and Endurance, a small health boost for PvE tanking.
Tauren Druids are iconic, with their spiritual ways and affinity for nature. Their racials are okay for tanking, with Endurance being a nice little health boost.
- Endurance increases base health by 5% — meaning your natural health at level 80, without your extra health or stamina from equipment, buffs, etc. This translates into a ~400 HP boost, which isn't massive, but every little bit can help as a tank.
- War Stomp gives you an on-use AoE stun with a 2 minute cooldown. You unfortunately cannot use this ability while shapeshifted, meaning you'll very rarely use it in PvE, though in PvP it can be very useful.
- Nature Resistance reduces the chance you will be hit by Nature spells by 2%. This is mostly a neglectable racial when it comes to PvE.
- Cultivation increases your initial Herbalism skill by 15. Druids are one of the best gathering classes out there, so if your druid is a gathering alt, this is a nifty little quality of life improvement.
Night Elves are the only available race for Alliance Druids. They benefit from Shadowmeld, a useful stealth ability in PvP, and Quickness, a small avoidance boost for PvE Tanking.
Night Elf Druids are among the most iconic race & class combination in all of Warcraft, with Malfurion and his druids being among the main characters in Warcraft 3. Their racials are pretty good for Druids, which is fortunate as they're your only option as an Alliance Druid.
- Quickness reduces the chance you'll be hit by melee and ranged attacks by 2%. This boost is not massive, but it's a nice little avoidance boost for tanking.
- Nature Resistance reduces the chance you will be hit by Nature spells by 2%. This is mostly a neglectable racial when it comes to PvE.
- Shadowmeld can be used in order to escape combat and become stealthed once every 2 minutes. It will also cause you to drop all threat on every target you're currently engaged in combat with, but all threat will be restored the moment you leave stealth — which will happen the moment you move or take any action. You cannot really use this racial while main tanking, but it can have its occasional niche use, and it can be very useful for fights where you're going Cat Form, and especially in PvP, as it allows you to use Prowl and re-stealth at any time.
- Elusiveness reduces the chance to be detected if you are stealthed. This applies both to your Prowl and Shadowmeld, which is a nice little boost in PvP.
- Wisp Spirit increases your movement speed by 75% while dead. You generally don't want to be dead.

Bitcoin (BTC) Proves to be the BEST Investment Avenue of the Decade
Bitcoin trades below $10,000 for the third day in the row and seems to have repeating the cycle from the past week when it tested support near $9,700. While in the current week, Bitcoin to USD price dug a little deeper as it tested support around $9,600 price zone.
So, do we just take it as a conclusion of the Bull Rally?
To answer the same, we would like to reflect on a few important statistics and trends over period of time. Not to forget that the BTC has faced rejection above $10,500 in the past week and therefore, is consolidating downwards in order to gain the required pace. We can't confirm about the instigation of the bear market as the price trend of Bitcoin has not exhibited consequent lows. A short-term timeframe appears to have taken a steep dip and predicts about having a bear market ahead but, if we see the trend from the beginning of 2020, we see further strengthening of the king.
#Bitcoin is the best performing asset of the last decade, and is on track to become the best performing asset of the last 5,000 years
— Bitcoin (@Bitcoin) February 16, 2020
Taking a few comparative statistics as to how much has Bitcoin grown over a year, five years and a decade, we see that BTC is just spreading like fire along with elevated transactions and market cap.
At the beginning of 2019, BTC/USD was trading around $3,800 and ended year trading at $7,200, marking a clear progression of over 89% with a notable height at $13,000.
Comparing growth from 2015 to 2019, we see that it has grown immensely from merely trading around $315 to $7,200, marking an ATH at $20,000 in 2017. This shows the strength and a return fetching capacity of an investment avenue, which has lured over 2100% profit for the investors of BTC in 5 years.
Imagining the growth over a period of the past 10 years when Bitcoin was just a word to be a giant investment, it has evolved to be the best asset over the period of time. To read more Bitcoin prediction go through our forecast page so that you can invest in it at the right time.
Bitcoin Price Analysis:
Analyzing the above chart, we see that there happens to be a sell signal, which does not really mean that the bear market is becoming stronger. Having said that, we should also notice the "golden crossover," which is anticipated to occur as the 50-day MA will cross above the 200-day MA and will instigate towards having a bullish market soon. Alongside this, we also see an inverse H&S formed which is manifesting a bullish impulse trend. This bullish signal is supported by $8,900 on the downside in order to maintain the rhythm of the bull market. If there happens to be more of short positions, the investors are likely to face the buying pressure and then BTC whales lead above the marked resistance at $10,500 and beyond $11,000, just in case.
Therefore, the support and a bullish crossover, aka golden crossover act as a key to accepting the pullbacks for a persistent Bull Run.

Simple: a long, slow cool helps keep things crisp. And your oven can do all the work: first baking your favorite crisp/crunchy treats, then finishing the job by drying them out, too.
How do you keep baked goods from getting soggy?
Use paper towels and a sealed container.
This is where the paper towel comes in. It absorbs the excess moisture, leaving your baked goods fresher longer. Store muffins and quick breads in a sealed container or resealable plastic bag, in a single layer.
How do you keep baguettes crispy?
To store a French baguette, just wrap it loosely and keep it at room temperature for 2 to 3 days. If you notice it's not as crusty after a while, just pop it in a warm oven (around 170 degrees-ish) for 5 or 10 minutes, and it should come out good as new.
How do you make baked goods last longer?
Baked goods supporting baked goods: Now that's what we call teamwork. Even cakes and pies, which might throw up your flares to refrigerate, will stay fresher on the counter. Place cakes on a covered stand or keeper, and wrap pies tightly in plastic wrap. You'll want to consume them within two to three days.
How do you make cookies crispy after baking?
Other tricks to crispy cookies include using less flour, not chilling the dough before baking, storing in a cookie jar or glass instead of a plastic container, and making the recipe with all purpose flour because it has a higher protein content that helps with crisping and browning.
What do bakeries do with leftovers?
What do bakeries do with leftover? TURN LEFTOVERS INTO OTHER BAKED GOODS At the end of each day, you can use your leftover loaves to make bread crumbs, croutons, bread pudding, and french toast. You can sell these to customers if your bakery also doubles as a cafe.
How do you keep muffin tops crispy?
Line an airtight container with paper towels and place the muffins on top in a single layer. And don't forget to add a few saltines to absorb moisture! Place paper towels above the muffins to soak up every bit of moisture. Seal with an airtight lid.
Why is my bread crust not crispy?
As bread cools, any leftover moisture in its interior migrates to the surface. If that moisture reaches the surface and hits cool air – e.g., typical room temperature – it condenses on the loaf's surface, making it soggy. If it hits warm air (your still-warm oven), it evaporates – leaving the crust crisp.
What flour is best for baguettes?
All-purpose flour: This flour is a blend of hard and soft wheats and is wonderful for making airier breads, like baguettes. Bread flour: This flour has more protein than all-purpose flour, so it's sturdier and a good candidate for rustic loaves with a good chew.
Why do baguettes go stale so quickly?
Bread goes stale when it loses its moisture and, as Our Everyday Life explains, because baguettes have so few ingredients, they dry up much faster. That's due to the fact that baguettes contain almost no fat (like added oil or butter), which other breads have that allows for moisture to stay trapped in for longer.
How do you keep baked goods fresh for shipping?
Wrap Baked Goods to Create an Airtight Seal
Seal in that just-baked freshness with plastic wrap. Use shrink wrap for sturdy goodies like Bundt cakes and pies, and wrap plastic around more delicate cakes by hand. Freezing cupcakes and intricate iced cakes can also help them to hold up in transit.
Do cookies with eggs need to be refrigerated?
(made with eggs) need to be refrigerated as soon as they have cooled completely. Never try to store them on the counter.
What is the shelf life of homemade cookies?
Bakery or homemade cookies can be stored at room temperature two to three weeks or two months in the refrigerator. Cookies retain their quality when stored in the freezer for eight to 12 months. Moist bars, such as cheesecake and lemon bars, can be refrigerated for seven days.
Why arent my cookies crunchy?
Not Enough Flour
If your cookies are flat, brown and crispy, that means you need to add flour to your dough for the next batch. … Though the culprit is usually a flour deficit, butter could also be to blame for this problem. Adding too soft or slightly melted butter to the dough can also result in flat cookies.
What is the secret to making soft cookies?
Secrets to Thick, Soft, & Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Underbaked cookies are the secret to softness.
- Using cornstarch in the dough is another secret to softness, as well as the secret to thickness.
- Using more brown sugar than white sugar results in a moister, softer cookie.
- Adding an extra egg yolk increases chewiness.
What makes cookies chewy or crispy?
Sugar: White sugar leads to crispier cookies than brown sugar or other sweeteners do. That's because white sugar lets out a lot of water as it bakes, resulting in crispier cookies like these Chocolate Crinkle Cookies. … However, it's the yolks that make cookies chewy, while the whites lead to crunchier cookies.

By Stanley I, White and Ewart Williams
If you are not aware of something than that entity is invisible to you at the moment.
What goes unseen can possibly be the thing that does the most harm to you at that time.
A common expression uttered to the victim of surprise whether it be an intelligence agency or an average person is, "you didn't see that coming."
No agency or individual can detect everything.
However, the greater one's awareness as well as their ability to act on it can make the difference between tragedy and success.
The records of the first human ambush that resulted in a loss of innocent life was detailed in the Old Testament book of Genesis, Chapter 4:8 which reads:
One day Cain suggested to his brother, "Let's go out into the fields ". And while in they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother, Abel, and killed him.
In Verse 10 the Lord asked Cain," What have you done? ….Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground."
This story provides a prime example of violence against the innocent and started the continual cycle of an adversary shedding innocent blood many times through seizing the opportunity and catching the victim by surprise.
Modern day violence found in the form of terrorism, criminal acts, workplace violence etc. thrive on the element of surprise.
Summarized below are three less known incidents of violence that took the lives of the innocent individuals through surprise actions:
The Gamboru and Ngala Attacks
This attack took place from May 5 to 6, 2014, in the towns of Gamboru and Ngala, Nigeria. During this time, more than 200 people were killed by the Boko Haram militia.
The attack took almost 12 hours, and the towns were almost completely destroyed survivors fled to the neighboring country of Cameroon.
The two towns had a security units that left to pursue schoolgirls who had been kidnapped in an earlier attack.
The attackers set fire to the towns and opened fire on civilians who were trying to escape.
(Fighters of outlawed armed group Boko Haram are being accused of killing hundreds of people in northeast Nigeria. A local senator in Borno State told Al Jazeera that gunmen stormed the town of Gamboru Ngala on Monday. Last month, Boko Haram kidnapped more than 270 school girls in the same area. Courtesy of Al Jazeera and YouTube. Posted on May 7, 2014.)
The Massacre of Trujillo
The massacre consisted of a series of violent assaults carried out between 1988 and 1994 in the town of Trujillo, Colombia.
These attacks were executed in the southwest region of Colombia by the Cali Cartel and aided by Colombia's military and law enforcement units.
Approximate 250-300 people were murdered; these actions were intended to serve as a warning to union members and supporters of guerrilla forces.
The Cinema Rex Fire
On August 19, 1978, the Cinema Rex Theatre located in Abadan the western region of Iran was set on fire killing approximately 400 individuals.
This attack took place when hundreds of people were watching the Iranian movie "The Deer".
The cinema was set on fire by four men who locked the ingress and egress points of the venue. All in attendance inside the cinema died from the blaze.
The exact motive behind the attack remains unknown, however the Iranian Revolution was believed to be the key factor contributing to the attack that remains one of the worst in Iranian history.
The above tragedies were conducted on a large scale, however, greater awareness on the behalf of the subject governments, security units and everyday citizens may not have thwarted these attacks but at least resulted in a lower loss of life.
The central goal of this paper is to introduce the reader to the concept of Protective Awareness.
In addition to analyzing the finer points of Protective Awareness the reader will be exposed to a physical security protocol modified to make the user the central asset secured as opposed to a structure, corporate campus, educational facility etc.
This method is called the 3 Zone Security Plan (3ZSP) and will be discussed later in this paper.
There is no tactic or protocol that can 100% remove the risk and the threat of violence from everyday life.
However, enhanced levels of awareness and preparation can greatly reduce risk of becoming a victim of violence.
Protective Awareness is a focused state of mind that involves the user analyzing the area in which he or she is located and the individuals occupying the subject area.
The user scans for suspicious individuals and actions; this tactic can deprive an adversary of the element of surprise while giving the user an opportunity to execute a countermeasure.
The user then formulates the necessary countermeasures to elevate their level of personal security/safety.
Protective Awareness consists of four foundational components, they are:
Knowledge of the 3 areas of interaction – the average person generally lives their life within one of three areas of interaction.
These areas are:
- Home – their place of residence
- Work- their place of employment
- Individual Specific- area specific to the individual (i.e. their school, their gym, their favorite venues and all areas outside of home and work) frequently spends time.
The user needs to know these areas and what constitutes safe normal behavior verses suspicious and threatening behavior.
These threatening behaviors are anomalies.
Rapid development of a security baseline
- The user needs to develop the ability to quickly establish security baselines that identify anomalies (signs, actions, cues of potential danger or threat) for the general 3 areas of interaction.
- Anomalies as they relate to physical security are generally caused by specific human action (the will to act, the means to act and the opportunity to act).
- The ability to detect anomalies allows the user to stay a step ahead of an adversary and remove themselves from danger prior to a crisis.
- This deprives the adversary the opportunity to act.
Define 3 zones of personal security
- The Protective Awareness user defines 3 concentrate zones around their person.
- The user first must assume the role as the asset under protection located in the center of the hot zone, which is encircled by the warm zone and the cold zone, the outermost zone that encircles both the warm and hot zone.
- This concept is borrowed from the physical security tactics of 3 Zone Security.
- This method provides the user with 3 layers of protection that must be penetrated by an adversary before they can harm the asset.
4 Categories of Countermeasures (aka The 4 Ds) as they relate to you the asset
- Deter
- To make a potential adversary decide not to attack you.
- This is due to your presence displayed through your awareness and confidence shown.
- You will show yourself to be too hard of a target.
- This will cause the attacker to find another victim.
- Detect
- This relates to your ability to scan 3 zones of security to detect potential threats and formulate possible countermeasures if needed.
- Delay
- To make an attacker hesitate prior to engaging giving you the user the opportunity to escape, call for assistance or execute a direct countermeasure.
- Strong verbal commands draw the attention of bystanders and let the adversary know you are alert and aware of their harmful intentions.
- Commands such as, "Back up!" "What are you doing?" "Help, move away from me!"
- Deny
- Relates to all countermeasure options to either avoid/elude the threat or to engage and overwhelm the threat to restore your original level of safety prior to the incident.
When the average person thinks about personal protection they often look at it as a single unit.
Many times it can boil down to the individual assuming their current state and location as safe because they are not engaged in conflict or a dangerous situation.
This can often lead to a person's Protective Awareness being restricted to one area. This results in a false sense of security.
While this occurs a nearby threat goes unnoticed as it creeps closer.
This is the result of the individual mentally securing one immediate zone for personal observation prior to a crisis.
The 3 Zone Security Plan (3 ZSP) is used to provide physical security for a variety of locations such as houses of worship, educational facilities, corporate sites, etc.
The basic plan involves security planners confirming a given threat/hazard then conducting a vulnerability study of the subject location and finally generating a site-specific plan.
This plan divides the site into three concentric zones labeled cold, warm and hot.
The cold zone is the outer most zone that encircles the warm zone which in turn encircles the hot zone. The hot zone is final layer of protection for the asset under protection.
Each zone is protected by countermeasures and protocols that guard the subject asset, therefore the adversary must defeat 3 layers of protection.
The selected countermeasures and protocols seek to deter, detect, delay and deny an adversary the will to act, the means to act and the opportunity to act against the asset.
The purpose of this paper is to borrow certain methodologies from 3 ZSP and apply them to personal protection for an individual; this will make the user the asset protected by 3 security layers.
The underlying goal of this application is to broaden the users Protective Awareness resulting in greater security through the reduction of threats and risks.
The 3 zones of this plan as they apply to individual protection are as follows:
Cold Zone
- Is the area located immediately outside of the warm zone and extends as far as you can see.
- This is the zone that is often neglected during heightened states of awareness.
- In these times the average person usually focuses on warm and hot zone.
- An example of this can involve the user walking down a street, where at the end of the street there are police vehicles with their lights flashing.
- Then there is an explosion and small arms fire.
- The user then moves away from the threat as opposed to continuing closer and becoming a victim.
- The subject incident has occurred in the user's cold zone.
Warm Zone
- Is the space between the user and the attacker, where the attacker can hit, kick or grab the user by taking 1 to 2 steps toward their person.
- This space is commonly referred to as the reaction zone.
- An example of this can involve a user engaged in a heated conversation with another individual who approximately 6 to 8 feet away inside the user's warm zone.
- The user takes a step back and lowers the tone of his voice to deescalate the encounter while scanning the actions of the other person.
Hot Zone
- This is the space between the user and the attacker where the attacker can hit, kick or grab the user without taking a step toward their person.
- This zone is the easiest to focus on during states of heightened awareness and is also known as the area of personal space.
- An example of this can involve a user in an elevator that is full of people.
- Multiple people in the elevator are in the user's hot zone.
- At this point the user raises his or her level of Protective Awareness and monitors the surrounding individuals for threatening behavior.
The 3 ZSP user must continually attempt to assess all three zones in times of non-crisis.
First, the user must know the three zones as they relate to their role as the asset; secondly, as the subject zones relate to others and a potential adversaries prior to and during a crisis.
The first and most critically skill the user must develop is how to generate a security baseline for the various environments they interact in, these environments are home, work and individual specific (areas and venues specific to you, i.e. your gym, your favorite hang out, park etc.).
This baseline establishes the guidelines the user will utilize to determine what are normal/safe activities for a given location.
By understanding what is normal and safe you will be able to detect anomalies (the activities that are out of place and potentially hazardous/threatening).
Summarized below are countermeasures the 3 ZSP user can deploy in the 3 zones to enhance their personal protective status.
These tactics and protocols should include but not be limited to:
- Regularly assess your own mental, physical and spiritual fitness (review your strengths and weaknesses) Know where you are most vulnerable.
- Regardless of the task assess your abilities to succeed "are you good to go?"
- Realize we are all creatures of habit change up your schedule and routes between your areas of interaction.
- Know where you are physically located at all times and be conscious of those around you.
- Verify the status of your cell phone reception and battery strength regularly.
- Have direct numbers of local fire, police and emergency services saved in your phone incase the regional 911 system is disabled.
- When driving regularly observe if the same vehicle is consistently behind you. If so make a series of right hand turns into well lighted and populated locations.
- If the vehicle is still behind you contact 911 or drive to the nearest Police Station.
- When entering a venue determine a second means of ingress/egress.
- Studies have determined that during an emergency people will usually attempt to evacuate a location by using the same route they entered the venue.
- By having established a second means of ingress and egress can avoid getting caught in the bottleneck generated by individuals escaping during an emergency.
- Always attempt to maintain space to maneuver when in a crowd and avoid being boxed in by others.
- When inside of a building make a mental note of areas of cover and concealment if an emergency requires you to shield yourself (i.e. vending machines, kiosks, concrete structures, dumpsters, automobiles, etc. will provide you some form of shielding from gun fire and secondary fragmentation generated by an explosion)
- Identify impromptu items that can be utilized as weapons against an adversary in a life or death situation.
- These include but are not limited to fire extinguishers, ink pens, paperweight, garbage cans, knives, forks, glass bottles, coffee pots, chairs etc.
- Create a "GO Bag" for your vehicle that includes but is not limited to: a blanket, flashlight with batteries kept separate, liter of water, first aid kit, disposable lighter, rain gear, multi-tool, 5-10 energy bars and an envelope of 50 to 100 dollars cash in dominations from singles to twenty dollar bills.
- Identify the locations of fire extinguishers, alarms systems, emergency lighting and fire doors.
- Identify the presence of wall mounted first aid kits and AED units.
- Receive basic first aid training.
- Receive basic self defensive training for realistic threats (Note: basic training in self defense will teach you how to repel and escape an attacker and stress survival/ self protection for you and loved ones. (The core goal of such training is not to win a contest but survival and the restoration of the level of safety you had prior to an attack)
- Train your Personal Awareness Skills- this requires an improvement of mental focus to assess the people, activities and environments for the enhancement of your safety levels.
- Regularly mentally wet test (i.e. virtually test various scenarios ) your tactical responses to a dangerous/hazardous situation at home, work and individual specific venues.
- Ask yourself, if this were to happen I would do this to protect myself and loved ones.
- Ask yourself do I have the will to act, the means to act and is there opportunity for me to act.
Security is an imperfect art; even on the most perfect day it cannot remove all aspects of danger or risk from an environment, especially during a crisis.
This is mainly due to the fact that security plans, strategies and tactics are all generated by human beings and all humans are flawed.
There is no tactic or protocol that can 100% remove all the risk and the threat of violence from everyday life.
However, the use of Protective Awareness and 3 ZSP modified for the individual user can greatly reduce an individual's chances of becoming a victim of violence.
Effective countermeasures deployed by well trained individuals lay the foundation to limit the advantages of the adversary by removing his or her opportunity to execute their plans.
Through sound preparation confidence is acquired to execute.
The world today is and will remain an extremely dangerous and unpredictable place even on the of best days.

Achieving the goal of a global computing code of ethics through an international-localisation hybrid
Attempts to create a global computing code of ethics have failed repeatedly over the last 25 years. Some focused on professional ethics and others on common values across cultures. In this paper professional ethics are seen as normative, yet subject to cultural diversity, and the place of values is seen as a promising way forward. A hybrid is proposed following the two-fold formula for codes of ethics advocated by the International Federation of Information Processing. The international-localisation hybrid suggests that it is possible to achieve a common set of values, yet allow diversity through interpretations of acceptable professional behaviour.
Keywords: code of ethics, normative ethics, professional ethics, ethical theories, Islam, global

Translations that were completed before Hsüan-tsang by contrast are referred to as "old translations." Generally speaking, the new translations tend to be more literal, while the old translations are more interpretive and attempt to translate the Buddhist texts in a style that is easier to understand.

The 2019 Ford F-250 is part of the Super Duty lineup from the automaker. It's designed to handle the tough tasks and is labeled the "most capable worker on your job." However, owners wish they could fire this worker due to the faulty electrical system, dangerous steering, defective suspension system and poorly built engine.

A modern vehicle's electrical system is designed to keep everyone on the road safe when it's working correctly. Sadly, this F-250 model has a lot of issues that put people in danger.
One NHTSA complaint states, "Shortly after starting and while in motion, received a Blind Spot System Fault and a Cross Traffic System Fault. It indicates the driver rear to be the problem. This is intermittent in nature."
Ford hasn't released any communications about repairing electrical issues. Still, it will become evident soon enough that there are dangerous electrical situations leading to other concerns with major parts, such as the engine. This truck can't possibly be the "most capable" if it can't manage to get the basic systems in order.
The majority of the complaints around this Ford Super Duty have to do with a dangerous event referred to as the "death wobble." This condition affects the steering and suspension systems.
Here's an example from a Cars.com review. "At first it was great, until the first death wobble. It pulls great, but when you have to drive it on the highway it is horrible. You never know when a little bump is going to cause death wobble. Called the local dealer and turns out they know about it and Ford isn't doing anything about it. They will change any affected parts, but not eliminate this horrible condition. Was a big fan of Ford. Now, I'm going to go get something else. Not worth your money."
The "death wobble" has caused several other vehicles to be recalled, but not the F-250 yet. With the amount of complaints issues, it's amazing that there isn't anything being done at this time. Instead, owners are left fishtailing left and right on busy highways across the country. Maybe it's best for other drivers to stay far away from any 2019 Ford F-250 that's spotted on the road for now.
Again, the suspension complaints reveal the same type of issues with the handling.
Here is another Cars.com review. "Poorly built. In the first year, sun roof broke and twice the front stabilizer failed while doing 80. This causes the truck to go into a 'death wobble' and all control is lost. I paid 80k for a truck I do not feel safe driving anymore."
Aside from the lack of "death wobble" recalls, there was another suspension-related problem worth noting. NHTSA Campaign Number 19V688000 states that the right rear axle shaft can fail prematurely on almost 30,000 vehicles. If this occurs, the drive power could be lost and the owner might struggle to hold the vehicle in Park without the parking brake applied. This "most capable worker" can't maintain a straight line or remain still when parked. It acts like a drunken partier, not a hard worker.
To be capable and powerful, the pickup must contain a potent and reliable engine. Unfortunately, that's not the case with the 2019 Ford F-250.
Here is another complaint left with the NHTSA. "The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-250. On random occasions, the engine would not restart. The failure occurred on several occasions. The vehicle was towed to [dealer], but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The contact was informed that an engineer from Ford would inspect the failure… The failure mileage was 1,400."
Some of the diesel-powered F-250 models are facing troubles of their own. NHTSA Campaign Number 18V894000 states that over 400,000 vehicles might have a faulty block heater cable splice connector. When the heater is plugged in, the corrosion could lead to a resistive short and increase the chance of a vehicle fire. While the service departments were supposed to correct the problem, many owners found that they were simply disconnecting the block heater. That means that owners were paying for equipment that was completely unusable. If this truck were an employee, it would have been fired a long time ago to make room for a new Chevy or Ram model instead.
Think you have a lemon? Sit back and let the experts work out your lemon case at no cost to you. The law makes Ford pay legal fees. You may be able to get your lemon out of your life. Every year, auto manufacturers buy back, replace or pay cash settlements to thousands of 'lemon' owners like you.

2019 f250 just hit 70,000 miles so I can't lemon law it. Timing chain failure, crankshaft and oil leaking in pistons. Has been meticulously serviced and maintained. Towed one time. Other than just takes me to work and back. Disgusted with ford
Went through the death wobble had corrected. But sometimes feels it's still there slightly and could come back with a vengeance. An early problem was sticking throttle. Went away for 40 thousand miles it's back all a sudden. Any body else have issues? thanks very concerning
60000 kilometers later and 2 death wobbles which Ford corrected and this diesel is running great.
2 trips across Newfoundland, Canada towing our fifth wheel up and down the coasts some not so smooth roads and not an issue.
As for the block heater, this was an issue with the F150s.
I have a 2019 f250 diesel
Up until 4 months ago everything was great until death wobble happened out of nowhere.Just before the death wobble incident, my computer was not working,
I take in to the dealership that I purchased from.
My truck was there for 2 months .
Now I hardly drive this truck ,it has less than 5000 miles
This morning my computer shows -40 degrees on the screen and the a/c doesn't work
Should've stuck to my gut before buying
Ford=found on road dead
Ford= fucked up repaired dodge
Ford =fix or repair daily

The most commonly practiced approach by many advisors is to meet the retiree's essential expenses using annuities. It is reasonable to expect that the retiree should have essential expenses covered by guaranteed sources, but using that as the only argument to justify the proposed annuity purchase diminishes the power of annuities in many ways.
Besides missing the point that income from annuities can also be used for discretionary expenses, such a view ignores a holistic picture of the retiree's situation. For example, the match essentials approach pulls the annuity away from the most powerful lever to help a retiree: Social Security claim deferral.
The advisor may think that an increase in the Social Security benefit through deferral will provide higher essential expense coverage and thus correspondingly decrease the amount of the annuity sale. In reality, the opposite is true — Social Security claim deferral strongly increases the case for annuity purchase, and a deferral-with-purchase approach dramatically improves the retiree's situation.*

Springfield, neighboring police department crime rates could rise because of reporting change
Changes coming in the new year for the Springfield Police Department, starting with how it reports crimes. Springfield, along with Republic, Nixa and the Greene County Sheriff's Office are all making a switch to comply with the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting database.
The old system, the Summary Reporting System, tracked just seven crimes and only the most serious one was reported.
"Murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, auto theft, burglary, larceny, arson," Springfield Police Chief Paul Williams listed the seven major crimes.
The new database, National Incident-Based Reporting System, includes 52 crimes, and reports every one that happens in a single event.
Chief Williams said crime numbers will climb with the change, even if crimes committed do not.
"It's things that have already been happening that we know about, the public just hadn't been able to get that information in the past," he said.
The Kansas City Police Department has been using the National Incident-Based Reporting System, also known as NIBRS, for more than a decade. Sgt. Patrick Rauzi, with KCPD, explained how it's different.
"So if I had a murder, but the guy had raped the victim beforehand and broken into her house and stole her car, I would only report the murder," Rauzi said. "In NIBRS, I report the murder, the rape, the burglary and the stolen auto, all those offenses because they all occurred in that incident."
Rauzi said NIBRS can make it seem like crimes are increasing.
"So our total number of incidents for the year or for the month are going to be higher because we're counting more crimes than before. It's that simple," he said.
Susan Wade, the Public Relations Manager for the Springfield Convention and Visitors Bureau, said Springfield has already been affected by being included in lists of crime-ridden cities online.
"It's certainly going to play a role in decision-making on where people are going to travel to. You know, is it affecting travel, I don't know." she said.
Wade said she's lived in Springfield for most of her life, and it is a safe place. However, she said, it is a city and crime can happen.
"Just use common sense. Lock your car, don't leave valuables laying in the seat where they can be seen, don't walk around at night by yourself, things like that," Wade said.
According to Rauzi, NIBRS will give police departments more information to use in comparing themselves to other areas of the country.
"You have more granularity in your crime data to be able to more tailor what you're looking for, what your crime problems are, what crime problems you have in each section of the city," Rauzi said.
However, Williams said only a fraction of the law enforcement agencies in the country will make the switch to NIBRS at first, since the FBI's crime reporting program is voluntary.
"It's more work for officers, more work for my staff. It's more costly. It requires changes to computerized programs. It's been a long time coming and not everybody's going to jump on board," he said.
Rauzi said it was a challenge to get KCPD officers to adjust to the new crime categories when reporting crimes with NIBRS.
According to Chief Williams, Springfield saw a slight jump in crime in 2019, but the numbers were still lower than previous years. However, 2019 will be the last year the city can compare its own crime.
"We're not going to be able to compare how many robberies, burglaries, auto thefts we had this year compared to last year because they're going to be counted differently," Williams said.
Now, with more offenses tracked, Williams said, more victim's hardships will be represented, and the community will have a better grip on what and where crimes are being committed.
"It's going to give us a better feel for what's going on and eventually, more ability to educate people about what's happening in the city," he said.
Williams said there will also be some personnel changes within the Springfield Police Department this year. As several commanders retire and the agency adds more officers and investigators.
"Some differences in how we staff, manage and investigate crimes, and the types of crimes, and I think it's a good time to be doing that with the NIBRS change as well," Williams said.
Local departments are making the switch NIBRS switch early. It will become the standard for the FBI next January.
