Been around dogs all my life. My Gran bred Rough Collie's. My Mum bred Pomeranians. My first recollection would have been when I was 3-4 years old with a litter of Rough Collie's aged about 4 weeks old in an enclosed area in the hallway. My Gran allowed me to name one - I called it Cherry.
I grew up with Gran's 3 Rough Collie's around me - Laddie, Elmo and Flossie. They were show dogs and when I was 5 I entered a competition with Laddie. We got first place. As a small child I can only remember the agony of having to do a lap of honour with my arms laden with a red rosette, a huge cup, a shield, a certificate and several tins of Chappie dog food - plus the dog of course!
We moved with my Dad's job and the Collie's came to visit - I enjoyed teaching them how to do things, taking them for walks and getting them to jump things. My Gran realised I had a love of dogs and bought me my first dog when I was 7 years old - he was called Prince, looked like a black Labrador but was a crossbreed of unknown origin. Prince joined in all our games and had a good life. He stayed with Mum and Dad when I married and moved house.
Next came a GSD puppy called Rosie. I took her to various training classes including BAGDS at Long Melford in Suffolk and also had the pleasure of attending Roy Hunter's classes. At the age of 13 Rosie passed away and we bought Brigi - an 8 week old adorable GSD pup. I started pet classes with Mandy Martin in Suffolk and had started Working Trials training with her. I continued to work Brigi until she 3 years old and was diagnosed with an incurable problem and had to be put to sleep - it broke my heart. My next dog was another GSD called Sophie. She was great, loved to work, loved to do Working Trials - loved most of the exercises - just hated the down stay. We entered in competition and got excellent marks, but not once did she do a down stay in competition! Stanley came next - a cheeky WSD with a half white face. With Stanley I was able to move through the Working Trials classes and achieved TDex and was working Pdex. Stanley retired from trials at the age of 8 - he had started to limp occasionally after doing the jumps.
My next leap was with a Chocolate Labrador - Georgie (Georgina) - I thought I loved GSD's but Labrador's really fill my eye. Georgie did Working Trials and achieved WDex and then became my first brood bitch and she had a litter with Jack (Staftly Thunderbolt). I kept Maggie (Pollgina Gladys Gladsome) from this litter. The POLLGINA came from Polly and Georgina. George had another litter and I kept Rose, Jenny, a friend kept a bitch called Fern. Maggie achieved WD open before becoming a mum, and restarted and achieved 3 further WD opens. She is now ready to try for Wdex. Rose hasn't done any competitions yet, but she is nearly ready. From Maggie's litter I would have loved to have kept a pup, but just didn't have room, so Jenny had another puppy called Mattea.
My training began with my Gran's collies, then with Prince, Rosie, Brigi and Sophie. I used to help at Mandy's classes with the pet dogs and on her Working Trials sessions. I have helped at the Hucknall class and on Rod's Training Courses and One to One training sessions. I started to run my own classes APT School for Dogs about 5 years ago.

"they'd had sex 'in the street' - even 'on Oxford Street', he'd once heard. In six months' time perhaps he would know, he'd have sorted out the facts from the figures of speech."
by ymgeisydd
It's not clear whether 'Oxford Street', as used here, is gay slang or Polari. It does not appear in the on-line dictionaries and glossaries to be found on the Internet.
Oxford Street is a major shopping street in London's West End. It extends from Marble Arch in the west to High Holborn in the east and is home to various department stores and retail chains (including Selfridges, Debenhams, John Lewis, Marks & Spencer), as well as numerous smaller shops.

Pekka Sulkunen's "Autonomy against Intimacy: On the Problem of Governing Lifestyle-Related Risks" appears in Telos 156 (Fall 2011). Read the full version online at the TELOS Online website, or purchase a print copy of the issue here.
Most risk society analyses focus on external risks caused by production, neglecting internal risks produced by consumption. Tobacco, alcohol, obesity, lack of exercise, and other lifestyle-related causes are top global burdens of health, growing with emerging consumer society outside western capitalism. Modern societies have a poor track record in regulating these risks. Neo-liberal hegemony is a weak explanation of the failure. We must see the issue as a problem of justification. Modern social order is founded on individual biography, autonomy, and intimacy as principles of human worth. The twentieth-century modern state has guided the progress to make these ideals reality. Autonomy, the right to individual self-control, has supported the right to intimacy, experience of life as unique and separate from other lives. Today, only quite recently, these principles of worth are fully matured, but autonomy and intimacy are now conflicting. One person's uniqueness—the pleasure of consumption or cultural identity—is felt to tax the autonomy of others. Vice versa, the autonomy of the majority cuts into the uniqueness of the few. The state has lost its pastoral role to lead the flock to progress, and become apostolic authority merely instructing the faithful on health, security, and well-being from a distance.

I love a dessert that is easy to make and taste great. That is exactly what you get with sorbet. Mix up some fruit, freeze for a couple hours and voila…you have a dessert that is pleasing to both children and adults. It is best to use fruits that are in season so, you get the best flavor. My Kiwi Strawberry Sorbet is a light and refreshing dessert for Spring.
Kiwifruit and strawberries are delicious low calorie fruits that are rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants are fantastic because they help protect our cells from free radicals, oxidation and help prevent the signs of aging like wrinkles.
We always hear that we should eat more antioxidants so, let me explain that a bit so you can see why…
Free radicals and Antioxidants:
In stable molecules, electrons normally exist in pairs. However things like stress, our diet, natural metabolism, and environmental pollutants can remove an electron from the molecule. This causes a chain of events to occur…
- Newly created free radical is in search of a new electron to pair up with
- The free radical will steal an electron from another molecule- this creates a new free radical.
- Now we have a chain reaction that repeats over and over again everyday unless stopped by an antioxidant
- If not stopped results in:
- Damage to cell membrane
- Damage to DNA
- Interferes with our bodies natural defenses
- Increase risks of cancer and heart disease
Now Antioxidants have a molecular structure that enables them to give up electrons to the free radicals.
By stabilizing free radicals in this way, their harmful actions are stopped. The antioxidants help protect you from potentially doing harm to your health.
Okay, hopefully I didn't lose you there. Let's get back to the sorbet 😀
I start by making a simple syrup out of water and a stevia blend. Most sorbet recipes call for a lot of sugar but, I didn't want an overly sweet sorbet so I opted for the stevia blend. I prefer for the natural flavor of the fruits to be the stars.
I peel the kiwi and then trim out the seeds.
From there add everything into the blender and blend until smooth.
If you have an ice cream maker you can pour into the bowl and freeze according to the manufactures directions.
Pour into a container that you can seal, then freeze for at least 2 hours. At this point it will be easy to scoop. If you make ahead, let it sit out to soften before serving.
- 2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, sliced
- 3 small kiwis, peeled and seeded
- 1 cup water
- 2 Tbsp stevia blend
- In a small saucepan heat water over medium heat. Add stevia and stir until dissolved. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
- Place strawberries, kiwi, water in blender. Blend until smooth.
- Let the blend rest for a couple minutes.
- Pour mix into ice cream maker and freeze according to manufactures directions.
- Transfer to container with lid and freeze for at least 2 hours.
I love the flavor of kiwi. I used it in a salad and could not get enough of it. My daughter kept asking if I could make her that salad as her after-school snack. 😀
Salads are a great way to get your fruits and veggies all in one. The sweet strawberries in this salad is amazing!
If you are lactose intolerant this is a great alternative to ice cream. You won't believe how easy this is to make.
Strawberry Kiwi Sorbet is a light, refreshing treat that is full of great nutrients.

After Seeing This, You Will Never Look At Your Food The Same Way Again. A Real Eye-Opener
The government is subsidizing the obesity epidemic."–Michael Pollan
This article will provide a movie which has been hidden from the public by the big box food industry. Namely, it uncovers a rather devastating reality about weight loss and food, and a three-decade campaign conducted by the food industry, and helped by the U.S. government.
Its goal is to deceive and manipulate the American public, and leads to one of the biggest health epidemics in history.
Namely, the main culprit of the current health issues and deadly diseases are our eating habits. The following video will probably shock you, but it will also convince you to alter the way you eat and do your best to save your health.

If you read my post yesterday, you know that I have failed at potty training.
But, I have also succeeded.
Sometimes, you have to fail to learn how to master something.
Ladies and gentleman, my failure has made me the master potty trainer in my house.
After my abysmal failure, I diapered my little chica for a few more months. Then, on May 10th of 2014, my husband asked me what I would like to do for my birthday. Because I am a completely normal human being, I told him I wanted to spend my birthday potty training my daughter. (Okay, semi-normal human)
It was a raving success. She was potty trained mostly that day, and completely potty trained by the end of the week.
How did I do it?
I'm glad you asked!
7 Secrets to Successful Potty Training
1. Don't start too early. I won't go into detail here, because I detailed it in yesterday's post. But this is THE MOST IMPORTANT!
2. When you potty train, make sure that it is warm enough. You don't want your little one running around with a nudey booty in the middle of winter. Trust me on this one. We went outside for the first (and toughest) day, it was warm enough that she could just wear a little dress. Then when the timer went off, she would go to her potty seat, which was outside with us!
3. Celebrate the successes…but not TOO much. The first time Gracie went pee in the potty I did a potty dance and ran around the kitchen singing, "GRACIE WENT PEE PEE, GRACIE WENT PEE PEE, SHE'S A BIG GIRL NOW!" or something similar. After my dance was completed, I saw the look on my daughter's face and realized that I might have gone a little overboard. She seemed scared to death. The next time she went pee, she was a little apprehensive of the scary mommy dance…so I made sure to tone it down.
4. Make sure they can do it themselves. If you are having to pull down their pants every.single.time. then why are you potty training? Diapering the child would be so much easier on both of you. Wait until your little one can actually pull down their own pants. I recommend looking into Pull-Ups® training pants. Which leads me to #5…
5. Don't go anywhere for a bit. If you are potty training today, and tomorrow you need to go run errands with your little one, that is going to mess the whole thing up. Let them master the skill of learning to use the potty before you take them to a place where the potty is not readily available. When you do finally go out in public, put on underwear if you are brave. For the rest of us, try Pull-Ups® training pants (available at Kroger). They are great, because they catch the mess that might happen, but they feel like underwear. Not only that, but your child can pull them up or down at will. Believe me, you don't want to have a puddle in the car seat. They are NOT easy to clean up. (Remember me saying that I failed before I succeeded?)
6. Take it easy. They are going to make mistakes. Heck, YOU are going to make mistakes. Give yourself and your little one grace. They aren't doing it on purpose. If you have a loving relationship with your child, then they want to please you. So when they have an accident, talk to them about it. Remind them where they are supposed to go…and then move on. Don't punish them. Don't get angry.
7. Bring the chocolate. For every piece of chocolate you give your little one, you deserve one too. Really. This potty training is HARD work! Get some extra help, if you need it, from Pull-Ups® training academy!
Did I miss anything? What are some secrets to success that you have had when potty training?
Pull-Ups® training pants are available in sizes; 2T–3T (18- 34 lbs.); 3T–4T (32–40 lbs.) and 4T–5T (38+ lbs.).

Oratorio heads team of four for Ballydoyle
AIDAN O'BRIEN will saddle almost half of the field in the Boylesports Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh tomorrow after nine were declared yesterday for the the first Irish classic of the season.
The Ballydoyle handler will send out four runners, with Oratorio, the mount of Kieren Fallon, his principal hope. The consistent Danehill colt finished fourth to his stable companion, Footstepsinthesand, in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket last month.
O'Brien also saddles Albert Hall, fifth behind Motivator in the Dante Stakes at York last week, and Hills Of Aran, who had a similarly distant view of the Derby favourite on his latest outing when fourth in the Racing Post Trophy last October. Showdance, a maiden winner at Cork last June, completes O'Brien's hand.

As soon as Hollowell knew what was happening, he put into action an emergency response plan and made sure that everyone was led to an area of the store with no windows and away from where the tornado was about to hit. They had mere seconds to rush everyone to that location as the tornado ripped through the store, causing screams from everyone as they heard the steel roof being torn off the building.
More than 100 people had been shopping in the store when the tornado hit with no warning in the store, which is located about 40 miles south of Raleigh, NC. The local police say that the Lowes manager and his employees are heroes and are responsible for saving all of those lives. The police went thru all of the debris in the store afterwards, and found absolutely no one injured or killed in it thanks to Hollowell and his workers.
The store was nearly totally destroyed in the front, with about two-thirds of it gone or crushed beyond belief. Cars in the parking lot were scattered and overturned as well and other businesses nearby were also badly damaged. The storm also damaged 100s of homes in the area.
Hollowell said he had known there were severe weather warnings that day, but didn't realize the tornado was hitting the store until he saw people running towards the back of the store. He knew that the safest part of the store was the back, which had joined concrete walls and no heavy items stored on the shelves that could fall and hurt or kill someone. They had learned earlier that it was the place to go for an emergency through a planned emergency procedure that ended up saving everyone's lives.
He said that they could see the tornado right across the street so he and his workers had everyone headed to the safe zone in seconds, and it was just in time. Hollowell said he wasn't a hero, he was just doing his job and that the safety exercise was what saved everyone, along with the fast thinking of his team of employees.

Same Old Story
September 30, 2003 | 12:44 A.M. EST
In the EA Sports 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, Waltrip used drafting help from Earnhardt Jr to take the lead from Kurt Busch with nine laps remaining. To get into position to help his teammate, Earnhardt Jr overcame a damaged front end after pit road contact early in the race. He lost a lap under green flag conditions but got back on the lead lap when Jimmie Johnson spun on lap 142.
Less than 20 laps later, the Budweiser Chevrolet was at the front of the field. As the laps wound down and final pit stops were made, Busch assumed the lead before being overtaken by the DEI twosome. After a lengthy red flag due to Elliott Sadler's wreck with six laps to go, the final restart found Waltrip leading Earnhardt Jr, Ward Burton, and Jeff Gordon. With three laps remaining, Gordon dove low in turn one to pass Burton and brought Ryan Newman up to fourth.
The top four remained in line until the backstretch on the final lap when Gordon pulled to the high line and inched ahead of Earnhardt Jr. In turn four, Waltrip moved high to block Gordon who opened up his inside with the all or nothing move. Kevin Harvick jumped inside of Gordon as Rusty Wallace came up on the high side to give Gordon drafting help. Waltrip went low to keep Earnhardt Jr behind him at the finish line while Tony Stewart and Newman got around Gordon in the tri-oval for position. It was Gordon's second consecutive top-five finish though he remains winless in restrictor plate races since the 2000 season.
"We had a strong car all day and led a bunch of laps," said Gordon, who led the lion's share of laps in the middle stages of the event. "Losing Jimmie Johnson out there hurt us a little bit; we had a great drafting partner with him and he and I were working real well together. There at the end we had to come in for fuel and we came in and I saw how far back we were and said, 'should we come and get tires?'
I wanted to go up through the middle. I knew that was the way to get back to the front. I didn't know if my car would handle as good as I wanted it to to stay wide open up through there. So we got tires, fell to the back and it didn't look good there for a while. But once we caught the pack we just blew up through there. Those last few laps were pretty exciting. I was apologizing to my team because I let Harvick get to the inside of me in the middle of turns three and four.
I put myself in a perfect position. I had a push, got by Junior, and had my sights set on Michael. I had the momentum and he moved up. When I moved up with him, Harvick snuck to the inside of me. I'm going to go for the win. I'm not going to stay there in third. I'm glad that I did, we still ended up with the top-five, and I'm real happy with that."
In the last 12 restrictor plate races, Waltrip and Earnhardt Jr have combined for nine wins including five consecutive wins at Talladega. The new rules with increased drag allowing for slightly faster lap times seemed to have little effect on the competition and drafting pack.
"I just went out and drove my car the best I possibly could," Gordon said. "I didn't see a big difference from before other than you could bump draft a lot more."
The largest incident of the day involved six cars on the tenth lap of the race. Jeremy Mayfield cut a tire and the ensuing melee swept up David Green, Larry Foyt, Johnny Benson, Tony Raines, and Jimmy Spencer. A single car spin involving Jimmie Johnson occurred on lap 142. While Johnson was side-by-side with Waltrip for the lead, a bump draft from Earnhardt Jr sent Waltrip into Johnson's Chevrolet. The scariest incident came with six laps to go when Earnhardt Jr made a move to come down from the high line on the backstretch. Sadler, running in the middle, tried to give him room by moving lower on the track.
However, Sadler went into Kurt Busch's path sending his car into an end over end romp through the grass and back onto the asphalt in turn three. Another incident occurred after the checkered flag waved when the cars were slowing down which damaged Bobby Labonte and Mark Martin's cars.

It's been a lovely car - still is - but I'm due to change it and Honda won't be bringing out a new Accord in the UK, so I'm getting a new CR-V when it comes out in October. Pity Honda haven't brought down the emissions and fuel consumption as low as other makers. However, I'm also looking for reliability and a good tug for my caravan so it's got to be another Honda.

Just got back from crown paradise, the reviews on here worried me before we went and the poor an average reviews are about right. To be honest its suppose to be a 4* but that's hard to believe. It has its good points but also its bad. The place could defiantly do with some refurbishing. The food is not to a very good standard the, best place to eat is fisherman's or the French restaurant. The phoning for a reservation is a joke unless you've paid for the purple wristband an then you have your own concierge which makes it easier. The quality of the alcohol is pretty poor, struggled to get drunk.!(every thing was watered down). It would be nice to see a menu of cocktails and drinks to see what you could have. Had paid for crown paradise club room, the room was good but pretty basic an dated but did have a nice view. The cupboard door was missing in front of the mini bar and the hinges left on for you to catch yourself on if you weren't careful. We were on the 6th floor and the floors must be pretty thin cause if anyone had heels on upstairs you could hear every step also if they used the double jet bath sounded like a plane was taking off. If your a couple and your going there, the best place to go to is the adult pool. Its the place to get away from the kids an also the barman there Melchior was a legend, mixing up awesome cocktails and serving drinks always with a big smile on his face. He was the best member off staff there, he deserves a pay rise. The only downside of the pool is the view of the abandoned hotel and the sewage works. The staff there, some are pleasant an some miserable but that's because there over worked an under paid. One of the best nights was the beach party sat on the beach and being able to drink outside and the bbq food. was good. Downside it finished at 10. There is no where to sit outside and have a drink at night. Being from the UK we don't wanna be sat inside drinking the weathers that bad at home we can do that here. Its lacking in some where to have a few drinks and some music with a atmosphere. The best part of the holiday was to meet some great friends there, that made the holiday drinking an having laugh with them and having nights out in Cancun. We only stayed at this hotel cause it was to surprise my mate for his 30th an this is where they had booked. We ended up moving to Moon Palace for the last 4 nights since we'd stayed there before and needed a bit of luxury. To sum this place up imagine Benidorm (on ITV) but situated in Cancun. If you want cheap and cheerful(not value for money) come here if you want luxury for not that much more money stay at Moon Palace or one of the Palace resorts.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- At the Crown Paradise Club experience extraordinary vacations in the best all inclusive hotel in Cancun; with areas designed for children of all ages, theme restaurants, activities and entertainment created for each member of your family, where you will experience moments with them that you will treasure forever. ... more less

Today was a much needed day of rest. After a late request to a coworker, my usual Sunday night closing shift was covered. You see I've had the knack of getting into various streaks of days without rest – without a day off – and I don't even realize it. It wasn't until Friday that I had realized I had gone three weeks in a row since my last day off. Needless to say, I was exhausted after last night.
"Do not toil to acquire wealth; be discerning enough to desist," – Proverbs 23:4
I used to think this Proverb was in reference to the notion of gaining as much money as one can. I used to think of the rich man in Mark 10:17-22; someone who had kept every rule ever given to him, but also kept every dime given to him. In this day spent watching episodes of "How I Met Your Mother," eating a delicious burrito from Mucho Gusto with a friend I hadn't seen in a long time, and watching one of my favorite movies (Finding Forrester), I now realize this Proverb wasn't talking about getting rich. It is simply talking about Sabbath.
Jesus says that man was not made for the Sabbath, but rather the other way around (Mark 2:27). In His day He taught not to make certain days more holy than others and we've sort of followed His lead as a Christian culture. But what I've gotten into the bad habit of doing is overlooking the positive thing Jesus says about the Sabbath.
In saying that the Sabbath was made for man, He's saying that it was God's intention for His creation to take a rest from his/her work. Oregon law states that for every shift of six hours or more, an employee is required to take a half hour unpaid break for physical rest. With God's commandment of a Sabbath, however, it's intended for much more than physical rest; He wants our bodies, minds, hearts, and souls to rest.
Back in my junior year of high school, I was taking a weights class. It was the only one I ever took in high school, but I learned quite a bit from it. For starters, I learned that it isn't good to work out the same muscle group day after day after day. It's in fact better to alternate between each muscle group day to day. One day work your upper body and then the next work your lower body. And why was that? In order for our muscles to grow in strength and size, rest – not more exercise – is required. I believe it's the same for our souls.
Work is forever a part of life. And some of us work far more than others (parents, I hear, work every single day – but I think it's just a theory…), but no matter who you are or what you do, you work to some degree each day. It's good for us – healthy, even. But, like taking any one thing too far, we're not supposed to fill our schedules with jobs and extra hours here and there to make the extra buck. We need to rest. We need days off.
I have often heard the age-old cliché "time is money." My generation has probably heard this less than the generation before us, but we've heard it. And many of us have believed it even if we didn't consciously acknowledge that belief. It's used to generate strong work ethics, but there's a problem: It's a lie.
Long lives aren't dependent upon large bank accounts; they're dependent upon a large faith – even as large as a mustard seed. Food, clothes, housing – you name it; if you need it, God will provide. Money, though useful in the social system we're in, is not God. It won't buy you a faithful spouse, a ticket into heaven, or especially a new change in your character. It is simply a means to an end. I use it to buy food, but I can also grow my own. I use it to pay for gas, but I could also ride my bike. And it helps pay for a roof over my head, but who says I wouldn't be sheltered apart from a lease?
My only point is exactly as the Proverb teaches: We must be discerning enough to say "no" every now and then to those extra hours. We must be wise enough to know that no matter where we are in life, we will always be working and therefore always in need of rest. It helps our muscles, our work ethic, and our walk with God to keep a healthy balance between our jobs and our days off.
God bless.

"1. LIONEL MESSI No real prize for guessing the occupant of this position. Messi stakes his claim this season as not just the best of South America, but also the best of the world. There were noises last season about Messi disagreeing with Enrique and having a training ground bust up with the manager, but he turned it all around after a point, and an incredible send half of the season saw him lead Barcelona to glory in 3 competitions."

Diego Maradona's misguided political statement on Western SaharaNovember 20, 2016
"Diego Maradona is considered as the greatest footballer of all time and scorer or the 'Goal of the Century.' And now, it seems, a willing apologist for the Moroccan occupation of Western Sahara. According to a number of news reports, as well as posts on Maradona's official Facebook page and the Twitter account of former Egyptian football great, Mohamed Aboutrika, the two of them are set to return to Morocco along with other former stars of the game—including Brazil's Rivaldo, Ghana's Abedi Pele, and Liberia's George Weah—and former Moroccan players for a so-called 'Match for Peace' tomorrow."

Brazil look to banish Belo Horizonte demons against struggling ArgentinaNovember 11, 2016
"It has been 28 months, but finally Brazil will return to the site of their greatest trauma. Their World Cup qualifier against Argentina on Thursday will be their first game in Belo Horizonte since the 7-1 defeat to Germany in the World Cup semi-final. Nothing will ever erase that horror but a victory over Argentina would make the ghosts loom less menacingly over the Mineirão in future – particularly if it adds to the growing fear in Argentina that the country may not qualify for the next World Cup." Guardian – Jonathan Wilson
Do South American World Cup qualifiers put the Champions League to shame?September 6, 2016
"Now that Copa América and the Euros are behind us, the focus turns to World Cup qualification. For South American teams – who kicked off their campaigns last October – the road to the biggest football tournament in the world has always been tough and since 1996, when the current round-robin format was originally introduced, competition has improved tremendously. Historical powerhouses such as Brazil and Argentina are no longer shoe-ins to qualify as teams such as Chile, Uruguay, Colombia, Paraguay and Ecuador, with star players of their own, are more than just also-rans." Guardian
The sad story of Omar Orestes Corbatta, scorer of Argentina's second greatest goalSeptember 6, 2016
"Before Diego Maradona's second goal against England in 1986, the greatest goal in Argentinian history had been scored by Omar Orestes Corbatta in a 4-0 win over Chile in qualifying for the 1958 World Cup. Argentina already led 2-0 when Corbatta beat his marker, took the ball round the goalkeeper, waited for another Chilean to approach, dribbled past him and then, as the crowd urged him to finish the move off, with the goalkeeper and two other defenders charging back, dummied to shoot, leaving all three on the ground before finally stroking the ball over the line." Guardian – Jonathan Wilson
After lengthy USMNT layoff, expect Copa continuity as World Cup qualifying resumesAugust 28, 2016
"If it feels like it's been a while since we heard from the U.S. national team, that's in part because it has been—Jurgen Klinsmann and Co. rarely go more than two months without a game or camp—and in part because so much has happened in the meantime. The American men aren't often so far from the spotlight for this long. Since the whistle blew at the conclusion of the Copa América Centenario bronze medal game on June 25, Lionel Messi missed a penalty kick, retired, then unretired from international football. Cristiano Ronaldo coached Portugal to the European crown, and Neymar kept his composure while Hope Solo lost hers." SI
Angels with Dirty Faces: How Argentinian Soccer Defined a Nation and Changed the Game ForeverJuly 19, 2016
"Argentina has produced Alfredo Di Stéfano, Diego Maradona, and Lionel Messi—some of the greatest soccer players of all time. The country's rich, volatile history is by turns sublime and ruthlessly pragmatic. A nation obsessed with soccer, Argentina lives and breathes the game, its theories, and its myths. Jonathan Wilson lived in Buenos Aires, in an apartment between La Recoleta Cemetery—where the country's leading poets and politicians are buried—and the Huracán stadium. Like his apartment, Angels with Dirty Faces lies at the intersection of politics, literature, and sport. Here, he chronicles the evolution of Argentinian soccer: the appropriation of the British game, the golden age of la nuestra, the exuberant style of playing that developed as Juan Perón led the country into isolation, a hardening into the brutal methods of anti-fútbol, the fusing of beauty and efficacy under César Luis Menotti, and the emergence of all-time greats in Maradona and Messi against a backdrop of economic turbulence." amazon – Jonathan Wilson

Hi i am Priya. I reside in Rookee,Uttranchal. I got married in Feb 2007. But unfortunately my marriage finally came to an end after one year. The main reason was repeated demands of huge cash or a flat in Delhi with a luxury car. But i belong to a middle class family so my parents could not fulfill my husbands and his family's demands. All this led to their frustration and anger to such an extent that they brutally beated me up, insulted and gave severe dirty abuses. My husband had several times thrown me out of the house with a threat to get me murdered soon.
I filed a divorce petition under section 13 in april 2008. But in nov 2009 in some corner of the court his family members assaulted ma father physically n threatened to close the case...So after seeking proper advice we filed a FIR with reference to past records of husband and in-laws behaviour with me. Then after filing FIR they had sent some man 2-3 times to my father to threaten him to face horrible consequences if I do not withdraw the FIR. But i did not because i want to fight for my rights.
The husband's family had then fooled us by saying that they are ready to mutually agree n close the case. They agreed to pay me 12lacs and my belongings. But they refused to return all of my gold.. i still accepted the deal. But later we came to know that they were just buying time for filing quashing of FIR to high court. So they finally got the stay order.
Now the situation is...due to their expert lawyers...the section 13 case didn't start at all. The proceedings have begun now after 2 years in jan2010. In criminal case the charge sheet has been filed by the police in first week of Feb 2010(acc. to my knowledge). The husband is saying if he gets arrested now he wont give me a single penny for my permanent alimony.
I am not working right now because i don't want to go out and meet people. I have withdrawn myself from society. And entire burden of my maintenance and court fees has come on my parents. So i want my alimony. I have filed for a guinuine amount of 15lacs with all my gold and belongings.
Now i dont know what will happen now in both the cases...whatever lawyers we hire...they bribe them.
I am in severe depression because i am not getting justice from anywhere. nobody is helping me. I am all the time in fear what if they get me or family murdered or do some harm to them.
Kindly provide guidance and help.

I think it might be working!
Tuesday, February 12, 2013
12 days of alternating between hour-long cardio and strength exercises. This afternoon the tape measure said that I lost half an inch on my waist. After floundering around with exercises since November...finally, a tiny bit of progress. I know it's small, but I'm ecstatic. Results!! It's such a relief. Something is finally starting to work.
It's a nice mood boost. Work has been beyond draining, and I'm sure it will remain that way until spring break. This morning I had three kids in crisis simultaneously. I feel like I spent the whole day stamping out small fires. I so wasn't in the mood to exercise when I got home. I wanted to just put on my jammies and go to bed at 4:30. But I put in the video anyway. I always feel better afterward, and plus I think it's the only thing keeping me from really laying into the kids. It's very frustrating, dealing with kids that have so many emotional issues that they can't handle anything. Anyone who thinks that emotional disabilities aren't as severe as physical ones needs to hang out in my room for even just five minutes. A kid with ADHD and anger management issues can't keep a job, get a driver's license, or even go shopping without difficulties. It's rough. I come home every day feeling like I've been in a six-hour pillow fight where all the pillow cases have been filled with peanut butter.
Sometimes I have to sit in my car for a minute in the morning and kind of suck it up to have the will to go in and do my job. I have to try very hard to live entirely in the present...some of my students are sexual predators. Some of them hurt animals. Some of them are violent; some have criminal records. Their names pop up in the police blotter of the local paper. If I stop to think about the enormity of how awful it is, I'd probably break down and run screaming from the building. I have one student in jail for breaking and entering right now, and one's in for murder. I will most likely never see those two boys again. Lots more are in and out for misdemeanors. They go in and out of mental health facilities. The system just chews them up and spits them back out again. It's soooo hard.
So yeah, I think the exercise is doing me tons of benefits, since I have a tendency to absorb their pain like a sponge.
Half an inch!

The Atmosphere of Neptune
There are two main layers that compose Neptune's atmosphere: the troposphere and the stratosphere. In the troposphere the temperature decreases as the altitude increases. The opposite is true for the stratosphere. The temperature increases as the altitude increases. The area which separates the two is known as the tropopause.
In high altitudes, the atmosphere in Neptune is composed of 80% hydrogen and 19% helium with a small amount of methane. At wavelengths above 600 nm, absorption of bands of methane occurs in the red to infrared parts of the spectrum.
Neptune is blue because of the absorption of red light by the methane in its atmosphere. It has a diameter of 49,500 km (30,764 miles) and estimated to be more than 3.9 times larger than that of earth.
However it is important to note that the same methane content exists in Uranus, and yet the hues of blue differ between the two planets. Neptune is the darker of the two. Neptune is said to have an unknown substance creating the darker blue color.
Neptune's troposphere is composed of clouds that differ in composition based on the ranging altitude. Methane clouds fill the upper-level of Neptune. The temperature and pressure (below one bar) of that area is perfect for methane to condense. Pressures between 1-5 bars allow ammonia and hydrogen sulfide clouds to form.
If the pressure is more than 5 bars, ammonium sulfide, hydrogen sulfide and water clouds may form. Clouds of water-ice may form at 50 bars of pressure. The temperature in that area is roughly 0 degrees Celsius.
The lower stratosphere of Neptune is foggy because of the condensation of acetylene and ethane. There are also small amounts of hydrogen cyanide and carbon monoxide present in Neptune.
The thermosphere of Neptune is very high. It is around 750 K. Scientists haven't figured out where the heat generates from as Neptune is very far from the Sun. Many theories have been suggested and have yet to be proven.

Guys always talk about why Asian girls are the best:
Meek, docile, petite, nice and sweet, family oriented, cares about education, long silky black hair, doll face, tiny, "tight" down there, great cook, submissive, traditional, great mother, "not like American girls". This mainly comes from American guys (who seem to think they are God's gift for some reason).
Like, really? You can't find this in a white/hispanic/black/indian girl?
And when you break stuff like this down to guys, they assume that we are jealous. No, I just want to know why Asian girls get credit for what plenty of women have themselves.
Guys are so biased towards them too:
If an Asian girl is smart, she's well educated and cares about it
If a white girls is educated, she's a dangerous feminist
If an Asian girl is loyal to her husband, she is right in doing so and is being a good wife
If a black girl is loyal, she's a "negress" bed wench
If an Asian girl is about family, that's good
If a hispanic girl is about family, she's just wants a green card to move her family into the US
Most Helpful Guy
Honestly, this is the first I'm hearing of it.
Personally I prefer white girls, but Asian girls can be cute too. I don't know if they do all the things you say but if they do I would say East Asia has been cultivating a strong culture for thousands of years. To put it bluntly, I wouldn't be surprised if East Asian people generally have their shit together more than westerners. But that doesn't necessarily make them the fun, interesting and lovable people that I want to spend my life with.00|01|0
Most Helpful Girl
I've once had a discussion with a male friend the other day and he said that he would like to marry an Asian women because they do whatever their husband want. He thinks that he will be the boss if he marrys an Asian woman. I dont know if it is true though11|00|0

Please Pass the Transparency | Part One
Dr. Rick Patrick | Senior Pastor
First Baptist Church, Sylacauga, AL
It is a difficult task for the average Southern Baptist layperson to obtain much in the way of detailed information concerning SBC entities and organizations. One would expect all such matters to be painstakingly reviewed by boards, journalists and messengers attending annual meetings. If information remained unavailable, one would expect the opportunity to contact the entity in writing and acquire the requested information. However, the fact remains that much of what takes place in the SBC simply happens behind closed doors with less than ideal transparency. We have secret documents, undisclosed salaries, poorly publicized channels of support and relatively unknown hiring practices.[i] There are entirely too many secrets.
This essay does not allege any kind of corruption or malfeasance on the part of our SBC organizations. Rather, it merely establishes that a level of secrecy exists that could, in theory, enable such malfeasance. It appears that our system of checks and balances is insufficient. In some cases the information is being withheld. In other cases the information is available but not widely disseminated. For example, the recent downsizing of our IMB missionary force surprised rank and file Southern Baptists with a cumulative $210 million record of overspending and the peculiar tactic of liquidating real estate rather than balancing each year's budget. Though not exactly a secret, this practice (which had been going on for many years) had never managed to trickle down our communication channels to the people in our churches who were paying the bills. Unfortunately, various factors contribute to our environment of secrecy: a dependent press, secretive trustee boards, scripted conventions, dismissive communications and even trusting congregations.
1. Our Dependent Press
One expects totalitarian regimes to own and control communications in order to shape public opinion in favor of the ruling party. The Soviet Union infamously underreported the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster two days late after other nations had already uncovered the story. In the Iraq War of 2003, who could forget the comical Iraqi Information Minister and his bombastic propaganda lauding an Iraqi military being systematically dismantled by American forces? Apart from the basic issue of honesty, there is a systemic organizational failure whenever the fourth estate relies for its financial support upon the very organization it covers.
Such is unfortunately the case today at Baptist Press. These are fine people doing great work, but some mechanism should be in place urging them to cover all kinds of stories—the good, the bad and the ugly—without concerns that their probing might bite the hand that feeds them. I can hear the objections already: "Pastor, isn't there already enough bad news in the world? Why encourage even more of it?"
My goal in promoting the financial and operational independence of Baptist Press is not to foster greater pessimism but simply to uncover the kind of truth that may be underreported in the interest of placating our faithful Southern Baptist donors. Make no mistake—I am glad we are not reading about scandals in Southern Baptist life. I am simply unclear about why this is so. Are we truly this squeaky clean? Or are we not uncovering, by means of investigative journalism, all of the stories and issues that might concern Southern Baptists if we only knew about them? Is Baptist Press a genuine news agency or has it merely become the company newsletter?
If Baptist Press has become the internal public relations arm of the convention, then who is truly functioning as the free press? Clearly, the rise of blogging in the Southern Baptist Convention is the direct result of this journalistic void. Over the past few years, SBC leaders on the platform have attacked bloggers incessantly. One gets the impression that this overreaction stems from the fact that the blogging world is outside of their control. SBC speakers and leaders frequently label as "misinformation" the opinions of bloggers that merely represent a different point of view from the party line. Bloggers have even more limited resources of time and money than do journalists. One cannot help but wonder how many crucial stories in SBC life are not even being reported in the absence of a vigorously free press.
2. Our Secretive Boards
Having served on three trustee boards in two different state conventions, I have developed a certain impression concerning the way such meetings are orchestrated. Generally, there is the provision of a nice meal and a time of fellowship. There is a generous amount of time devoted to prayer. Reports are celebratory. Expressions of appreciation are offered to employees for their outstanding contributions. The decorum is formal, polite and reverent—perhaps even a little boring. Items related to the budget are routine. New business initiatives rarely come from the floor, but are typically recommended by a subcommittee. Few, if any, questions arise among the trustees just beginning to process this new information. The awkward silence, clearly communicating the existence of unformed opinions, is instead interpreted as if it established a unanimous and undivided consent. There being little to no discussion, the matter is moved to a vote and the deed is done. In order to have derailed any part of the scripted meeting, a board member would have had to (a) form an immediate and strong opinion, (b) summon the courage to interrupt the silence and extemporaneously address a fairly large group of people, and (c) risk the social embarrassment that comes from being the oddball trouble maker. Why bother, right? Because life is too short to become the Wiley Drake of your Baptist trustee board, and even if one does speak up, everyone knows that the motion is going to pass anyway. Add to this predetermined process of decision making the fact that some boards even require the trustees to sign non-disclosure agreements regarding salaries and other information, and you have a recipe for secrecy that is practically guaranteed to raise no eyebrows and ruffle no feathers.
[i] The most noteworthy secret documents are the records of the Great Commission Task Force, deliberations responsible for charting our current long range plan, which are confidentially sealed in our archives and unavailable for viewing by rank and file Southern Baptists until the year 2025. The undisclosed salaries of two SBC leaders are rumored to be in the $600,000 to $700,000 range when considering all compensation, benefits and expenses—a shocking number unavailable to rank and file Southern Baptists due to the nondisclosure agreements signed by trustees. The poorly publicized channels of support refer to the direct support of missionaries by churches, in a manner circumventing normal CP giving, through two specific avenues that embrace the societal missions approach. The unheralded hiring practices include tapping at least four non-Southern Baptists for high-ranking leadership posts at two different SBC entities. (One was later terminated and offered an outside consulting role—an admittedly creative workaround.) Several other situations exist for which transparency and accountability could be vastly improved.

Product Description
High Accuracy Pnuematic Valve Bag Cement Packaging Machine
1. General introduction
The automatic high accuracy valve bag cement powder packaging machine adopts the Teflon cushion to add a small amount of air to the material, making the material flowing way of feeding to the machine. When the material gets into fluidized state and reaches high-level position, the top valve is closed. Then the material gets into a closed state and then flows from the outlet to the packaging bags. With cooperation of mechanical and electric control elements, the material is packaged and controlled to the target weight scope. The machine has combined automatic arch breaking, measuring, filling and sealing into an integral, which greatly reduces the subsequent work load and reduces dust in the packaging process.

All my life I have had full-sized machines and am not at all familiar with portables. I am sure there are pros and cons to everything. I would love to get some feedback from folks who have owned a portable washer.

Sweet demonstration opens near Princeton
March 21, 2014 by James
The weekend's Maple Syrup Demonstration will teach people about the process of making the product and includes a walk through the bush to see how the trees are tapped, as well as how the sap is collected.
Poster printing might have been one of the methods used to share information about this outdoor event with people who reside in the community.
An outdoor activity, this event is suitable for all ages and will focus on the making of real maple syrup from start to finish. Not only will families enjoy a hike outdoors while learning about tapping trees, they will return to the sugar shack at the trail center to learn about how the sap is cooked down into syrup, as well as the finishing process that is used. Finally, as will be much anticipated, there will be a sampling of the rich syrup for each guest.
The demonstration is on-going, so guests can arrive at any time during the open hours, and admission is free. The Maple Syrup Demonstration will be occurring on Saturday, March 22, from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm at the Lake Maria State Park located at 11411 Clementa Avenue NW in Monticello, Minnesota – just a short drive from Princeton.
To learn more about this event or to register, visit the park's website or call 763-878-2325.

Title : Performance of Five Ablation Materials as Coatings for Structures in a Region of Separated Flow.
Descriptive Note : Technical note,

Abstract : An investigation was made of several commercially available ablation materials for use as thermal protection for the sidewalls of advanced air-to-air missiles. Material specimens of different thickness were tested on the cylindrical section of a rounded-ogive-cylinder model. The tests were conducted in the Langley 11-inch ceramic heated tunnel at a heating rate, enthalpy, and free stream Mach number typical of the values of these parameters encountered during a missile trajectory. Oil flow and pressure tests showed that the boundary layer had separated from the cylindrical section of the model and that the entire specimen region was immersed in separated flow. In the separated flow environment, a phenolic cork composition was found to be superior to the other materials studied in limiting the substrate temperature rise. The phenolic cork composition experienced considerably greater erosion than the phenolic nylon, asbestos phenolic, and subliming salt compositions, which ranked second, third, and fourth, respectively, in limiting the substrate temperature rise; however, these materials developed either surface cracks or large fissures in the char layer. Preconditioning of the phenolic cork, asbestos phenolic, and epoxy solid materials by heat cycling to 400 deg F (478 deg K) did not decrease their thermal performance.

|Reviews for Perfect World International: Millennium
| eflaomice chapter 3 . 5/30/2012
Love the idea it's rare i see a crossover into a game, usually its only a self-insert or lore related story.
Well, anyway, I was just wondering, are you going to really go through every quest ever given in PWI (or just main storyline quest, or just overall summaries would you be writing quest dialogue or would it be narration)? And why would it be that the sin be ported in at lv 43 while akiko isn't ported in as a veno, but rather as lv 1?
Just curious, even though this story is a bit old haha
| Reversed CrimsonIblis chapter 3 . 11/17/2011
TBC that is not fair I love this story I like it.
| Este Delete chapter 3 . 11/17/2011
Woot. :D Great chapter - Bakura got a great description. [drool]
| Este Delete chapter 2 . 11/8/2011
Wow, that was great! :)
I'm actually considering making a PWI crossover of my own, and this really inspired me.
It was very well writte so - great job and please do continue!
| Crimson Puppetmaster chapter 2 . 10/30/2011
It's stories like this that make me want to play PWI again. n_n Well I've had too long of a break anyway. The bad thing is that since my dad re-did my computer I have to install it again. My favorite race are the Winged Elves though I do have a Venomancer I enjoy playing as. Please update soon!
| aquabless chapter 1 . 4/5/2011
yay! this is good i always wanted to read a crossover about this :3
so far its asome
keep it up and hope you update .

This is a list of my top five something. Most of the time my lists are pretty static, but sometimes I do change my mind. While I do try to apply some logic to my choices, sometimes I pick things that make no sense and for no good reason other than "I like it."
Music Genres
1. Soul
2. Pop
3. Alternative
4. Hip-Hop
5. Dance
To be honest there are only three genres of music I have trouble listening too.
Bluegrass: I heard really good true bluegrass once and it's hard to live up to that. Most of it annoys me.
Southern Rock: because it's basically country music with a quick beat or electric guitar. It's not bad, but I can't listen to more than two examples of this on any given day.
Lastly, techno. I get it, you can dance to it, but you don't have to. Same rule applies here as with Southern Rock.
I really like Jazz and classical, but they are not my everyday listens.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post. If you like it let me know and share it with others. See you next time, Toi Thomas. #thetoiboxofwords

Hello Asia
Multi media art project in search of common ground in East and West
New Heroes presents Hello Asia:
A journey to meet young professional creators in East Asia,
Establishing a new connection between East and West
In search of social innovation driven by our common creativity
A cross-discipline media art project
There's no denying: The 21st century belongs to Asia. The explosive economic rise of China, Japan and the four Little Tigers Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan & South Korea presents the upcoming European generation with a rapidly changing world order, in which the West no longer leads global civilization. While we struggle to find our shared identity in a weakening Europe, we need to look to our Asian peers to shape our collective future.
Simultaneously, East Asian millenials have been catapulted from traditionally Confucian societies into a world with a distinctively modern Western Enlightenment mentality. Hyper-capitalism brought them financial freedom and personal independence. And with it came the huge responsibility to do better: to learn from Europe's mistakes and lead the world in developing innovative ways to build a global community with a strong civil society and addressing issues from democracy to climate change, from urbanization and social inequality to identity and world-peace.
Despite a shared history of colonialism then and our age of globalization now, East and West don't really know each other. In our understanding of each other we have replaced historical oriental en occidental clichés with modern ones. West struggling to see beyond 'the invasion of rich Asian tourists with massive cameras flooding our capitols or buying up city centers' or East sighing at 'smug Europeans unceasingly policing the world based on their humanist moral principles'.
But in order to tackle our shared global issues, our upcoming generations of European and Asian leaders need to find each other and collaborate to find creative and innovative solution. It's imperative they meet and find common ground to grow from together.
Now, 400 years after the European East India trading companies first set sail to "the Orient", New Heroes presents a comprehensive international cross-discipline media art project connecting young innovative creators of Asia and Europe. In Hello Asia we are going to look beyond the clichés and really meet the upcoming generation. We aim to explore the shared quest that challenges our under 40's: where do we go from here in our global village? And how can social innovation driven by creative industries create new global common ground?
Journey of discovery | documentary series |theatre performances | video portraits | exchange project
Hello Asia starts with a research journey to East Asia: Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Taipei, Seoul, Tokyo..
The explorers are New Heroes artistic director Lucas De Man (Ghent/Amsterdam), theatre maker Hyunsin Kim (Berlin/Seoul) and a camera team. Together they'll meet with historians to understand our past. They'll meet with innovative creators to discuss our future. And they will meet with storytellers to finds ways to shape our common ground.
Meeting the historians
The team will follow the historic trade routes where freshly Enlightened West met old Confucian East in 17th century. European values of liberty, equality, fraternity, human rights and rule of law seem to be in fundamental disagreement with Confucian ethics with its emphasis on humanity, rightness, propriety, wisdom, filial piety and loyalty. With the help of several experts on history we aim to understand the social and cultural impact of this exchange between Asia and Europe then and what it means today.
Meeting the innovative creators
In each of the countries we visit in Asia we plan to find and interview visionary creators. These creators are young professionals under 40 from all types of disciplines, ranging from creative industry to arts, from science and technology to journalism. They have a vision on society and projects in which they apply their innovative ideas. We want to understand how these change makers see our global village, our collective future, and how, if there are any, gaps between Western modernity and modern Confucianism could be bridged? How could creators together help shape our societies in transition?
Meeting the storytellers
We aim to meet and learn from local artists and performers. How are their approaches to and narratives in performance art different from Western storytelling? What and how do they create work for traditional and avant-garde audiences? What new art forms or new types of artists are emerging in the high-tech, digital megacities? How can they help us build a story of commons?
Hello Asia productions
The journey through Asia is research for several productions to be developed in 2018 and 2019. The camera team will document the journey and the interviews with historical experts and visionary creators. (The main language of communication for the entire project is English.) With this rough material New Heroes will produce several audiovisual productions for international, European and Asian audiences:
- an online documentary series showcasing the projects of the creators we interviewed along the way.
- video portraits of the historians interviewed on the journey
- two theatre shows in which Lucas and Hyunsin share their initial insights soon after completing the journey in 2018. The performances will be flexible in that they can be presented in theatres as well as auditoriums or other types of venues, in Asia and Europe.
- a production for Asian visitors to Amsterdam, made in collaboration with the Asian artists encountered on our journey: a dramatic encounter that goes beyond the traditional Kodak moments and shopping trips, touches on a personal level and acts as a catalyst for intercultural dialogue.
Join our voyage of discovery & help us connect the global change makers. Interested producers, sponsors, cultural/art organizations, creators or friends, please contact Kimberly Major email@example.com. Check our vacancy for a Film & Multimedia director here: Hello Asia Film & Multimedia director
Hello Asia is produced by company New Heroes in collaboration with Pakhuis de Zwijger, Het Zuidelijk Toneel, Leiden Asia Center, Performing Arts Fund NL and other amazing European and Asian partners.
New Heroes is an international movement of artists that create multi-disciplined art projects and urban actions. In all our projects New Heroes strives to connect, amaze, distract, surprise, confuse and through all this creates spaces for true encounters with yourself, the other and the world.
A snapshot of our previous adventure?
In 2015/2016 New Heroes produced the In Search of Europe project in which we found the upcoming generation of creators in Europe. The project started with a 30-day journey through 17 cities in 8 countries, interviewing over 20 creators. Visit our website to see the In Search of Europe productions:
Theatre show De Man in Europe (nominated Best Show of 2015 by TheaterFestival)
Documentary Meeting Modern Visionaries.

We've already talked about GIS can be helpful for firefighters or search + rescue teams. But what about law enforcement?
GIS is all about data collection and retrieval, and data can be extremely useful for police officers. Information such as where a crime was committed and who was involved can be easy to bring up in a GIS system.
Data can also help crime analysts draw conclusions about the correlation between declining neighborhoods and increasing crime in an area. For instance, if data shows a great deal of vacant housing or deteriorating buildings, crime is more likely to occur in that area. GIS makes it easy to see which areas are more likely to become crime hubs. Right away when a crime is reported, law enforcement can use GIS to learn more about the risks related to that particular area.
GIS also helps law enforcement to map where registered child sex offenders live, and helps make sure they live further than a certain distance from schools.
Watch the video below to learn more about how GIS helps law enforcement!
