The definitive, most up-to-date autobiography of British screen icon and legend Sir Michael Caine.It's been a long journey for Maurice Micklewhite - born with rickets in London's poverty-stricken Elephant & Castle - to the bright lights of Hollywood. With a glittering career spanning more than five decades and starring roles which have earned him two Oscars, a knighthood, and an iconic place in the Hollywood pantheon, the man now known to us as Michael Caine looks back over it all. Funny, warm, honest, Caine brings us his insider's view of Hollywood (where there's neither holly nor woods). He recalls the films, the legendary stars, the off-screen moments with a gift for story-telling only equalled by David Niven. Hollywood has been his home and his playground. But England is where his heart lies. And where he blames the French for the abundance of snails in his garden. A plaque now celebrates him at the Elephant in London. His handprint is one of only 200 since 1927 to decorate the hallowed pavement outside that mecca of Hollywood stars, Grauman's Chinese Theatre. A very British star, The Elephant to Hollywood is the remarkable full circle of Michael Caine's life.If you enjoyed The Elephant To Hollywood, don't miss Sir Michael's new book, Blowing the Bloody Doors Off, as he reflects on the most important lessons a career on screen has taught him about life.
Murderer, philanthropist, drug dealer, politician, devil, saint: many words have been used to describe Pablo Escobar, but one is irrefutable - legend. For the poor of Colombia, he was their Robin Hood, a man whose greatness lay not in his crimes, but in his charity; for the Colombian rich he was just a bloodthirsty gangster, a Bogie Man used to scare children in their beds; for the rest of the world flush with his imported cocaine, he was public enemy number one. During his reign as the world's most notorious outlaw, he ordered the murder of thousands - at one point even bombing a passenger jet - smuggled drugs into the US in mini-submarines inspired by Bond films, was elected to parliament, staged midnight escapes through the jungle from whole army battalions, built his own prison, consorted with presidents, controlled an estimated fortune of over $20 billion, and for over 3 years outwitted the secret American forces sent to kill him. His ambition was as boundless as his violence, and neither was ever satisfied. This is the first major, and definitive, biography of this remarkable criminal life, told in jaw-dropping detail by the one man who, more than any other, can understand just how far he came and just how low he fell: his brother, Roberto Escobar.
Daniel Tammet captivated readers with his bestselling memoir, Born On A Blue Day, and its vivid depiction of a life with autistic savant syndrome. In his fascinating new book, Embracing the Wide Sky, Daniel combines the latest scientific research with insights drawn from his personal experience to shed light on the mysteries of how our minds work and the incredible feats of which each one of us is capable.A unique and brilliantly imaginative portrait of how we think, learn, remember and create, Embracing the Wide Sky is a profound and provocative book that will transform our understanding and respect for every kind of mind.
The eight feet belong to Dervla Murphy, her nine-year-old daughter Rachel and Juana, an elegant mule, who together clambered the length of Peru, from Cajamarca near the border with Ecuador, to Cuzco, the ancient Inca capital, over 1300 miles to the south.With only the most basic necessities to sustain them and spending most of their time above 10,000 feet, their journey was marked by extreme discomfort, occasional danger and even the temporary loss of Juana over a precipice. Yet mother and daughter, a formidable duo, were unflagging in their sympathetic response to the perilous beauty and impoverished people of the Andes.In this extraordinary adventure, Dervla Murphy is at her intrepid best, facing up to the terrors, horrors and joys of her journey along the mountain paths.

HOLLYWOOD's GREATEST YEAR: "The Story of Alexander Graham Bell"
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Alexander Graham Bell, Charltes Coburn, Don Ameche, henry fonda, Loretta Young on May 4, 2014| Leave a Comment »
Henry Fonda as Thomas Watson and Don Ameche as Alexander Graham Bell
"The Story of Alexander Graham Bell" screens at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, May 10, 2014 in the Durwood Film Vault of the Kansas City Central Library, 14W. 10th St. Admission is free. It's part of the year-long film series Hollywood's Greatest Year, featuring movies released in 1939.
Every now and then an actor becomes inseparable from a role.
Anthony Quinn will always be Zorba the Greek. Mention Christopher Reeve, and you can't help envisioning him wearing Superman's cape.
And Don Ameche will always be Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone.
Here's a sobering thought: So popular was the 1939 release "The Story of Alexander Graham Bell" that for nearly 20 years after it was common to substitute the word "Ameche" for "telephone."
As in: "They're installing a new Ameche in my den." Or: "You're wanted on the Ameche."
It was an impressive display of the culture-molding potential of a hit movie.
The film unfolds mostly in the 1870s and '80s when the Scottish-born Bell was struggling to perfect the technology that would allow the transmission of sound over copper wire (a widely-held misconception was that telephone wires were hollow, carrying sound like water through a pipe).
It's a classic tale of a starving genius. Bell and his cohort, engineer Thomas Watson (Henry Fonda), live in a series of mildewed garrets and practically succumb to hunger before their big breakthrough.
The film does a pretty good job of laying out the basics of Bell's story – his interest in teaching the deaf to speak (his mother was hearing impaired), his marriage to a deaf woman (played by the gorgeous Loretta Young).
It all leads up to the moment when Watson hears Bell's voice over the telephone line requesting "Mr. Watson, come here. I want to see you." (Actually, Bell really did need Watson's help. He had accidently spilled a vial of acid on his trousers and his legs were burning.)
Ameche launched his film career in 1935, and in the four years leading up to "The Story of Alexander Graham Bell" he had been very busy, appearing in more than a dozen films, usually as the second male lead. His biggest hit of this period was In Old Chicago, a spectacular recreation of the 1871 fire in which Ameche played a member of the O'Leary family, whose cow was blamed for kicking over a lantern and setting off the conflagration.
At the same time Ameche was omnipresent on the radio, serving as a master of ceremonies on a slew of programs. By the time he turned 30 he was a household word.
Whether he was much of an actor, though, is still debated. Ameche was considered versatile…but that may have been mostly because his rather bland performance style lent itself to a wide variety of roles. With his moustache and friendly manner he was a dapper presence – but nobody was going to cast him as, say, a villain. (At least not for another 40 years.)
In "Alexander Graham Bell" Ameche provides a comforting and hugely earnest anchor, but the real acting chores fall to his supporting players. Comic relief is provided by Fonda as the kvetching Watson, and stuffy Charles Coburn as Bell's father-in-law, a man who directs the lives of his family members according to a carefully thought-out timetable.
HOLLYWOOD's GREATEST YEAR: "Young Mr. Lincoln"
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged "Young Mr. Lincoln", Abraham Lincoln, henry fonda, John Ford, Sergei Eisenstein on April 28, 2014| 1 Comment »
"Young Mr. Lincoln" screens at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, May 3, 2014 in the Durwood Film Vault of the Kansas City Central Library, 14W. 10th St. Admission is free. It's part of the year-long film series Hollywood's Greatest Year, featuring movies released in 1939.
In the essay "Mr. Lincoln by Mr. Ford," the great Soviet movie maker Sergei Eisenstein – whose 1925 silent film Battleship Potemkin remains embedded in most critics' short lists of the best movies ever made – speculated on the one American movie he wished he had made.
He chose John Ford's "Young Mr. Lincoln."
Ford had made films that were richer and more effective, Eisenstein wrote. But "Young Mr. Lincoln" "has a quality, a wonderful quality, a quality that every work of art must have – an astonishing harmony of all its component parts, a really amazing harmony as a whole."
Seventy five years after its creation, the film still retains an astonishing ability to tap into our shared mythology. Much of Ford's artistic output can be summed up in one question – What does it mean to be an American? – and "Young Mr. Lincoln" provides some essential answers.
As the title suggests, Lamar Trotti's screenplay is about Lincoln before he became a famous icon. It covers the early months of his law practice in Springfield, Illinois in the 1840s, and centers on Lincoln's first big case, a murder trial. (Actually, it is a highly fictionalized version of a murder case that Lincoln handled in 1858, shortly before he got into national politics).
Watching the film today one is struck by how much actor Henry Fonda looks like photos of the young Lincoln (Fonda donned a prosthetic nose and wart for the role, and at one point rides a miniature mule that makes his legs look ridiculously long). It's an astounding performance, one that gives us a rough-hewn, unpretentious Abe but which is packed with intimations of the greatness that is to come.
HOLLYWOOD's GREATEST YEAR: "JESSE JAMES"
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged henry fonda, Jesse James, Tyrone Power on March 9, 2014| Leave a Comment »
Tyrone Power as Jesse, Jane Darwell as Ma James
"Jesse James" screens at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, March 15, 2014 in the Durwood Film Vault of the Kansas City Central Library, 14W. 10th St. Admission is free. It's part of the year-long film series Hollywood's Greatest Year, featuring movies released in 1939.
You don't watch the Tyrone Power/Henry Fonda version of "Jesse James" for an accurate history lesson.
If you want something approaching realism in a depiction of the infamous James Gang, try 2007's excellent "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" with Brad Pitt as the psychotic outlaw and Casey Affleck as the repellent little creep who shot him in the back.
Back in 1939, though, audiences were all about a romantic Jesse James, and this Henry King-directed Western delivered.
It's highly selective in the story it tells. For example, it makes no mention of the James brothers' background as ruthless Confederate guerrillas during the Civil War. Rather, Jesse (Power) and Frank (Fonda) are presented as simple farm folk (albeit good with guns) who turn to violence when a brutish agent for the railroad attempts to seize their land – and kills their mother with a bomb.
HOLLYWOOD's GREATEST YEAR: "DRUMS ALONG THE MOHAWK"
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged "Drums Along the Mohawk", American Revolution, Claudette Colbert, henry fonda, John Ford on March 2, 2014| 1 Comment »
Henry Fonda and Claudette Colbert
"Drums Along the Mohawk" screens at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, March 8, 2014 in the Durwood Film Vault of the Kansas City Central Library, 14W. 10th St. Admission is free. It's part of the year-long film series Hollywood's Greatest Year, featuring movies released in 1939.
Director John Ford had a terrific year in 1939.
One of his films from that year, Stagecoach, was instantly recognized as a classic and was nominated for the Academy Award for best picture. Plus, it turned around the career of a middling cowboy actor named John Wayne, who thereafter was one of Hollywood's greatest stars.
Another Ford effort from '39, Young Mr. Lincoln (with Henry Fonda excelling as the future president), is recognized as one of the finest pieces of Americana ever captured on celluloid.
Given the stratospheric acclaim directed at those two landmarks, it's not unusual that Ford's third film from '39, Drums Along the Mohawk, often gets overlooked.
Which is a real shame, since it's a strong effort that dovetails seamlessly with Ford's recurring theme of what it means to be an American.
In addition, it was Ford's first Technicolor film, and right out of the gate he excelled at capturing brilliant, vibrant images. In fact, he dismissed color as ridiculously easy to work with when compared to black-and-white.
Based on Walter Edmunds' bestselling novel (it's still a great read), Drums centers on the Revolutionary War as it was fought on the frontier, with Yankee settlers battling Indian tribes. The Indians have been convinced by the British that as an independent nation, Americans would waste no time in sweeping westward and seizing tribal land, and that their best interests are to be found by siding with the redcoats.
That's the story's background. But the real meat of the yarn lies in the relationship of and Gil and Lana Martin, newlyweds carving a life out of the wilderness.

Richard Harris gives his all for love in "A Man Called Horse"
The Duke, Josey Wales, Sean Connery, a dude called Horse and Henry Fonda at his most bad-assedness…screw neckties, now you can get Dad something he'll really like for Father's Day.
That's because the home entertainment industry has unleashed a slew of classic manly movies for the first time on Blu-ray…and some of them are killer.
Let's start with the least impressive and work our way up.
CBS Home Video has just come out with Blu-rays of the John Wayne's "Rio Lobo" and the Richard Harris hit "A Man Called Horse," both from 1970. (more…)

Q: When is a nontrivial line bundle on a complex surface equivalent to an effective divisor? Let $X$ be a smooth complex surface i.e. $\dim_\mathbb C X = 2$ and let $D$ be a divisor on $X$ and $\mathcal O_X(D)$ its associated line bundle. I call two divisors $D, D'$ equivalent if $\mathcal O_X(D) \simeq \mathcal O_X(D')$ and a divisor is called effective if it is nonzero and all of its coefficients are nonnegative. The set of all nonnegative divisors equivalent to $D$ is denoted $|D|$.
My first question: is the fact that $\mathcal O_X(D)$ is not the trivial bundle sufficient to conclude that there exists an effective divisor equivalent to $D$?
I suspect not. The concrete situation I'm in is much more specific, but I don't see how to use its specificity. Namely, $X$ is projective and I am in the assumption that $\mathcal K_X^{\otimes 2}$ is not the trivial bundle, where $\mathcal K_X$ is the canonical bundle associated to $X$. I want to see that there exists an effective divisor in $|\mathcal K_X^{\otimes 2}|$. I can't for the life of me see why. I know that $|D| = \mathbb P( \Gamma(X, \mathcal O_X(D))) $ but I can't see how to deduce from the fact that $\mathcal K_X^{\otimes 2}$ is nontrivial that it admits global sections, nor how to see that if its space of global sections happens to have dimension $1$, then $|\mathcal K_X^{\otimes 2}|$ will contain an effective divisor, and not the zero divisor.

Roger Sanchez:
A name that helped define the house genre, Roger Sanchez's career dates back to the late 80's, early 90's in the New York Scene. Originally a student learning architecture, he clearly had love for the arts prior to making it big in the electronic music scene. After becoming involved in the early rave scene in New York, he was shown the art of DJing and quickly fell in love where he could create music from behind the turntables. This led to him quickly becoming known for unique samples and quality breakbeats too. His first release, "Dreamworld", was dropped in 1990 and the rest is history. Finding success alongside other major names like Erick Morillo and Danny Tenaglia in Ibiza after he jumped the Atlantic, it was a sure thing that Sanchez was set for stardom in the electronic music world. That love from Ibiza has allowed for him to retain a longstanding residency on the party island, taking the stage annually since 2000.
Over the years, Roger Sanchez has seen success in both his own releases, as well as remixes of others hits too. He won a Grammy Award for Best Remix in 2003 for his take on No Doubt's "Hella Good" and in 2007 won the first ever IDMA award for Best Podcast with his show Release Yourself. The Stealth Records label he founded in 2002 was relaunched in 2014, and has seen great success with some quality hits. Not sticking to one name, he has released under many over the years. Most recently, he has given love to his alter-ego, S-Man, with the launch of label UNDR THE RADR

Gustavo Bueno: "I have an aversion to melodrama"
Despite years of friendship with Michelle Alexander, it is the first time that Gustavo Good He works at his production company: Del Barrio. We see him every night as Don Antonio in the telenovela 'Maricucha', where he plays a wealthy widower who, in order to give a lesson to his two ambitious daughters and son-in-law, decides to ask the housekeeper (Patricia Barreto) to marry him.
"I accepted because I love comedy. I was attracted by the fact that the director is a woman, Ani Alva, and the protagonist, Patricia Barreto, who is a good actress. and she had an exceptional performance when she played Edith Piaf in the theater ", the actor recently arrived from the city of Tacna tells us, where he and a group of friends have a tradition of enjoying a few days at the beach.
YOU CAN SEE: Patricia Barreto on Maricucha's success: "I can't believe it"
"There were a number of factors that made the offer attractive to me, besides, of course, the great friends there. And I am very happy with my teammates, and the same will be when I record 'At the bottom there is room'. In the case of 'Maricucha' I accepted because it was also a comedy and not a melodrama, since I have a certain aversion to melodramas because they seem to me that they are never well done, "he says.
Bueno accepts that the fence is very high after the expectation that the public has shown for the return of At the bottom there is a site. Photo: America TV capture.
Why did you agree to go back to 'At the bottom there is a site'? He knows that after the end it continues to repeat itself and he is not doing badly at all.
Yes and for that (the repetition) is setting the bar very high because there is a lot of expectation, and that cannot be disappointed. I accepted because one has the need to work, there is no actor who is idle or who wants to be idle, and age does not matter. Here you don't think about retirement, only when they take you out feet first, right? (smile). But in the meantime, one works. Luckily so far I have always been able to work on what I like. For this year I have two films to be released and that I filmed before the pandemic. One with Pancho Lombardi (Amelia) and another with Adrián Saba, a very talented young man. I have already seen a first version of both tapes and have been very satisfied.
YOU CAN SEE: Erick Elera in recordings of At the bottom there is room: "With all my heart, I am very excited"
You said you are happy working with friends. How did the complaint against Mayra Couto, who accused Andrés Wiese of harassment and mistreatment, give you?
It was a bit embarrassing, you can't be out of it. It was left in speculation and nothing more, right? And there the matter died. I think everything is canceled, there are no more charges. They are both friends, young people, both newcomers then, and that this kind of thing happens and those levels of confrontation are reached is unpleasant for all the other colleagues. Outside of that I have no more to say.
Karina Calmet, at the time, made a labor complaint (in 2016 she went to the Labor and Social Security Commission of Congress to publicize the labor situation of workers in order to have their labor rights respected) and reported bullying inside the series.
The Karina thing … she is not going to return to the series. He was not a very relevant character, he was in a way, but I think that in the series sometimes they go for it. They go on the side of one character or another.

One of the great classics of Mahayana Buddhism. In February/March 2000, during a six-week stay in the hills near Dharamsala, India, the little Tibet of northern India and exiled home of the Dalai Lama XIV, I attended the two-week long public teachings given by His Holiness. I purchased many Buddhist texts, including this highly recommended one. I read a few, but did not read Shantideva. I focussed on personal enlightenment and not on the benefit of others. Fourteen years later and maybe I am ready to begin the path for the benefit of myself, and others.
The Way of the Bodhisattva was written over 1200 years ago. Its relevance to mankind has not waned. The book is a guide to cultivating the mind of enlightenment, and to generating the qualities of love, compassion, generosity, and patience, qualities ever in need. Presented in the form of a personal meditation in verse, it outlines the path of the bodhisattvas–those beings who renounce the peace of an individual salvation and vow to work for the deliverance of all beings, and to attain enlightenment for their sake.
Originally written in India in Sanskrit, the text first appeared in Tibetan translation in the eighth century. It has been expounded, studied, and practiced in Tibet in an unbroken tradition since then. This version of The way of the Bodhisattva is translated from the Tibetan.
More of what I have read can be found under INFLUENCES.
After reading and meditating on this text over several years I can't help thinking it is almost a complete spiritual guide in itself. The book is known for its exposition of the compassionate path, but it just keeps going right through to the conclusion. Good luck with the text.

Stock, or store cabinets, will be what you see if you go to a big home improvement store. Each store will typically have a very basic, incomplete cabinet line that is stocked in store and ready to purchase and take home that day. They are usually your cheapest option, but selections are very limited. Much of the time these will need to be finished both by you or by a contractor. Don't expect nearly anything spectacular, these are usually units in their most basic form. Compartment fronts are typically made from stuck up strips of real wood instead of one single piece of wooden. Doors are usually paneled entrance doors instead of raised wood plank doors. The carcasses for the cabinets will typically be cut from particle board, and if there is a back snowboard it is usually 1/8 inch hard-board. Countertop fastening brackets will probably be small , plastic corner mounting brackets with a single screw tooth cavity for attaching to the department.

Katherine McKittrick - winner of Ban Righ Foundation Mentorship Award
On October 18, 2016 Katherine McKittrick was named the inaugural recipient of the Ban Righ Foundation Mentorship Award for her continuing mentorship of students at Queen's and across Canada.
"I feel like supporting students and mentoring them is part of our job," says Dr. McKittrick. "I feel like that's why I became a professor – to support and mentor students, especially students of colour and students from other marginalized groups, and provide for them a space to share ideas and also do their best work."
Much of Dr. McKittrick's research, as well as the research of her mentees fall into the category defined as "difficult knowledge," – topics such as racism, marginalization, oppression, and racial violence, to name a few. Dr. McKittrick defines her role as to support her students – many of whom have first-hand experience in these topics –and to create an intellectual environment to explore these themes to bring about positive change in the world around them.
Dr, McKittrick says the influence of her own mentors, both during her graduate studies and continuing into academia, has shaped her own approach to guiding students in their research. She points to the examples of her own doctoral supervisor, Lynda Peake (York University) and colleague Rinaldo Walcott (OISE/University of Toronto) for encouraging her to take her research in new directions and inspiring her to view her field through a different lens. She also highlights Ruth Wilson Gilmore (CUNY) and essayist Sylvia Wynter for the impacts they have had on her continuing research.
"She's been a wonderful friend and mentor to me and it has been an honour to work with her," she says of Dr. Wynter. "The best advice she has given me was, 'don't conform to the academic demands.' Keep pushing and pushing and asking questions about what Black studies can do in the academy."
While Dr. McKittrick says the award comes as a surprise, she is quick to turn the spotlight back towards her students and the reciprocal respect and admiration she has for them.
"I'm so blown away by their nomination, but also how much I've learned from them and how they inspire me to be a good mentor," she says. "They ask hard questions. I put a lot of demands on my students and they always do the readings, they show up every week and they're deeply engaged and that is challenging and stimulating for me as a professor. I just adore them."


Companies active in the German aerospace industry invest heavily in research and development, with the industry recording one of the country's highest R&D spending levels relative to overall turnover. EUR 4 billion were set aside for R&D purposes in 2017 - equivalent to an R&D quota of ten percent. Strong industry investment levels are enabled and accompanied by the presence of an excellent public R&D landscape with dedicated government R&D support for aeronautics and space.
The German Aerospace Center (DLR), Germany's central aerospace research body, employs approximately eight thousand people at 39 institutes across 20 locations. A number of institutes belonging to the renowned Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, Max Planck Society and Leibniz Association also conduct aerospace-related research activities.
Germany hosts leading players from all business segments – from equipment manufacturers, material and component suppliers to engine producers and whole system integrators. The high concentration of aerospace-related manufacturing and assembly - as well as R&D, design, recycling and supply - facilities enables companies to successfully partner across the whole value chain. This environment offers numerous business opportunities across multiple technology segments for international investors.
Particular location strengths are seen, for example, in the aircraft interior and aerospace energy-efficiency (including lightweight construction and new material development) segments. Industry stakeholders are organized in multiple regional aerospace clusters such as bavAIRia e. V., HAMBURG AVIATION e.V. and Hessen Aviation.
Oliver Seiler | © GTAI "International firms in Germany benefit from the country's central role in the increasingly integrated European aerospace industry."
Germany offers numerous incentives for all investors – regardless of country of provenance. There is a large selection of programs designed to support a wide variety of business activities at different stages of the investment process. These range from cash incentives for the reimbursement of direct investment costs to support for research and development and labor incentives.
Thanks to its strong innovation dynamic, the aerospace industry is part of Germany's High-Tech-Strategy which is complemented by other government R&D support programs. Subject to the technology readiness level (TRL), the federal government makes two R&D support programs which provide public payments – either as loans or in the form of non-refundable cash grants – available.
Social, economic and political stability provide a solid base for business activities of international investors. The country's judiciary and civil services are highly professional and belong to the most reliable in the world. Contractual agreements are secure and intellectual property is strictly protected. Also first-class and dense airport, road, rail and waterway networks substantiate the country's economic power within Europe and make it one of the continent's leading recipients of foreign direct investments – also in the aerospace business.

The National Police Foundation and From India with Love, an initiative of the International Association for Human Values, to collaborate and explore opportunities to counter violence and extremism through Ghandi's principals of nonviolence and compassion.
MUMBAI, India–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Dr. Frank Straub, Director of Center for Mass Violence Response Studies at the National Police Foundation, and Chief (Ret.) Dean Esserman, Senior Counselor at the National Police Foundation, will travel to India to attend a global summit, organized by Mandar Apte, the Founder and Executive Director of From India with Love, on countering violence and extremism.
The international summit will bring together police officials, political and community leaders from across the United States and India to study Mahatma Ghandi's principles of nonviolence. The summit coincides with the 149thanniversary of Ghandi's birth and a year of celebration and reflection in India.
At the summit, the National Police Foundation, through its recently formed Center for Mass Violence Response Studies, will collaborate with From India with Love, to identify opportunities to reduce violence and improve policing through India's ancient culture and the wisdom of nonviolence and compassion.
The Center for Mass Violence Response Studies (CMVRS) draws on the National Police Foundation's knowledge and experience to provide objective, thorough and actionable research; training; and, technical assistance regarding the prevention, response and recovery from mass violence events.
Ultimately, the two groups hope to strengthen connections between U.S. law enforcement and the From India with Love initiative through research and practice as they relate to preventing, responding and recovering from mass violence events.
Established in 1970, the National Police Foundation is a non-partisan, non-profit organization dedicated to improving policing through innovation and science.

WASHINGTON, D.C., July 24, 2018 — The Police Foundation recently concluded a research study examining the phenomenon of near-repeat burglary patterns — which suggests that once a burglary occurs on a street, the homes on that street and on nearby streets are at a much higher risk of being burglarized over a relatively short time period (usually the next one to two weeks) — and to use the knowledge surrounding near repeat burglaries to develop and test a crime prevention strategy for police departments and communities to see if the patterns could be interrupted.
With funding from the National Institute of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, the Police Foundation conducted the study in two police departments — Redlands, CA, and Baltimore County, MD, in cooperation with the two principal investigators: Dr. Elizabeth Groff from Temple University and Dr. Travis Taniguchi of RTI International.
The research team sought to determine if knowledge about near repeat patterns of burglary can actually be used for crime prevention purposes. Within this framework, the Foundation attempted to determine if raising awareness about crime issues and crime prevention techniques amongst residents in the vicinity of the primary burglary locations could further reduce burglary in the area.
The project was designed to test whether quickly notifying community residents that they are at an increased risk for a burglary and sending patrol, auxiliary officers, and/or volunteers to provide residents with burglary prevention tips could interrupt the phenomena of near repeat burglaries.
The Police Foundation recently published the results of the study, including a "5 Things You Need to Know" document, research summary, strategy brief, and a technical report. These resources and other authored reports can be found by visiting the Police Foundation website or by clicking here.
Police Foundation Launches Law Enforcement Alexa Skills Quiz!
July 20, 2018, WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Police Foundation — a national, non-profit, independent, non-partisan, research organization dedicated to improving policing through innovation and science — is pleased to announce it recently launched its very own Amazon Alexa Skills Quiz, a cloud-based, voice-activated quiz.
"How Well Do You Know 5-O?" is a short 10-question multiple-choice quiz to test your knowledge about police officers in America (sometimes referred to in slang as "5-O" or "Five-Oh") and the work they do.

Hundreds of school administrators and public safety officials, including law enforcement and security professionals, convene for a 2-day conference to discuss solutions to campus safety.
July 19, 2018, WASHINGTON, D.C. – In a speech titled, "Ripples of Hope: Building Multi-Discipline Collaboration to Prevent School Violence," Dr. Frank Straub of the Police Foundation spoke to a room full of public safety professionals and others responsible for the safety of campuses across the United States. Chief (Ret.) Straub, a 30-year veteran of local and federal law enforcement and survivor of the September 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, has "seen things people aren't supposed to see" and can relate to the pain of those who have been affected by mass violence.
Straub's moving keynote address commenced the Campus Safety Conference East, a 2-day intensive conference and trainings for administrators and public safety officials, technology directors, risk managers, security professionals, and law enforcement executives from all over the country looking for solutions to campus safety, security, emergency management and technology challenges.
At the conference, attendees hear from leading safety and security experts, learn strategies and tactics to reduce risk and improve incident response, learn about best practices and procedures for emergency response, receive actionable items that can be implemented immediately on campus, discover how to be better prepared for emergency situations, and make campuses safer by protecting students and faculty by preventing a crisis before it occurs.
Dr. Straub drew attention to the importance of school officials, law enforcement, policy makers, government leaders, public safety, security, and community members working together to help improve school safety.
Straub advocated for intervening and providing more mental health services and resources to children who may be at risk of carrying out acts of violence.
Straub also highlighted several initiatives he is leading at the Police Foundation — a national non-profit, independent, non-partisan research organization dedicated to improving policing through innovation and science — and how these initiatives relate to enhancing safety at schools. These initiatives include the Averted School Violence Database, Center for Mass Violence Response Studies, After Action Assessments/Critical Incident Reviews, and a state-by-state legislative review of school facility security policies.
Frank G. Straub, Ph.D., is Director of Strategic Studies at the Police Foundation, a non-profit organization that studies ways to improve policing in the United States. Dr. Straub, leads the newly established Center for Mass Violence Response Studies, and has directed in-depth studies of the San Bernardino terrorist attack, the Kalamazoo mass shooting, and the Orlando Pulse nightclub shooting. He is currently leading a review of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting.
He is a 30-year veteran of federal and local law enforcement, having served as the police chief in Spokane, Washington; the Public Safety Director in Indianapolis; the Public Safety Commissioner in White Plains, New York; and the New York City Police Department's Deputy Commissioner of Training and Assistant Commissioner for Counterterrorism. He also served as a member of the FBI-NYPD Joint Terrorism Task Force during his tenure with the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security and the U.S. Naval Criminal Investigative Service.
Dr. Straub is a non-resident fellow at West Point's Center for Combatting Terrorism providing expert advice regarding the domestic law enforcement response to terrorism and acts of mass public violence.
July 9, 2018, WASHINGTON — To further its mission to advance public safety through innovation and science, the Police Foundation — a national, non-partisan, non-profit research organization — is establishing the Center for Mass Violence Response Studies. The mission of the Center is to prepare public safety, government, school, and business and community leaders to think critically about mass violence events, so as to develop and implement comprehensive prevention, response and recovery strategies.
During the last decade, persons motivated by a range of ideological beliefs and individual factors have engaged in acts of mass violence targeting innocent civilians in communities across the United States. Mass violence attacks, incidents in which multiple persons are killed or injured, have increased in frequency and lethality. While incidents of mass violence, including terrorist events and school shootings, remain relatively infrequent, their effects are devastating for the survivors, families of victims, communities, first responders and the country. For public safety officials, these incidents represent crises that challenge emergency response protocols and demand actionable research to inform policies and practices.
The Center for Mass Violence Response Studies will leverage the Police Foundation's expertise and its unique position as an independent organization to advise federal, state, and local public safety officials regarding the response to mass violence events. The Center will conduct objective policy-relevant research, critical incident reviews, and provide training and technical assistance to inform strategic thinking, expand knowledge, and advance public safety policies and practices.
The Police Foundation is uniquely positioned to expand on its knowledge and experience in researching, analyzing and educating public safety leaders and the communities they serve regarding the response to mass violence attacks.
The Foundation has conducted critical incident reviews of the San Bernardino terrorist attack, Kalamazoo shootings, and the Pulse Night Club attack. It is currently conducting a comprehensive review of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. In 2015, with funding from the National Institute of Justice and the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, the Police Foundation developed and administers the Averted School Violence database. The Police Foundation is also conducting a state by state review of school facility and building safety and security standards and is leading a Countering Violent Extremism project in the Boston area.
Dr. Frank Straub, the Police Foundation's Director of Strategic Studies, oversees the Foundation's public safety, terrorism, school safety and youth violence initiatives and will lead the Center for Mass Violence Response Studies.
If you would like more information on the Center, please contact Dr. Frank Straub, Director of Strategic Studies, Police Foundation, by email at fstraub@policefoundation.org or by phone at 202-833-1460. You may also visit the Center for Mass Violence Studies website at https://npfcmvrs.org/.

The hip joint is one of the largest joints in the body. It is composed of one osseous (bony) joint. The hip is built for weight bearing and movement in several different planes. The stability of the hip joint comes from the joint design, capsule, ligaments, muscle and a cartilaginous tissue called the labrum. There are several groups of muscles and tendons that attach near, and control, the hip.
A tendon is the cord-like part of the muscle that attaches muscle to bone. Hip tendinitis is the irritation, inflammation and swelling of tendons around the hip. The most common tendons affected are the psoas/hip flexor, rectus femoris/quadriceps, hamstring, and gluteus medius/buttock.
The rectus femoris muscle is the only quadriceps muscle that crosses both the hip and knee. The muscle originates from the pelvis at the ASIS and AIIS and joins the other quadriceps muscles at the quadriceps tendon of the knee.
Injury may be the result of overuse especially in sporting activities.
Sudden sharp pain in the muscle. Injury is often felt at the mid belly.
Bruising may be present at the site of the injury.
Pain with ambulation (movement) in the thigh.
Treatment of Rectus Femoris/Quadriceps tendinitis will depend on the severity of the condition. When treating acute rectus femoris/quadriceps tendinitis the principles of RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation) should be initiated.
In mild cases rest, ice and medication may be enough to reduce the pain. Once the pain is reduced, physical therapy is recommended to develop a series of stretching and strengthening exercises to prevent reoccurrence of the injury. Return to activity should be gradual to prevent a flare up of symptoms.
If the problem persists, consulting with your health care provider should be the next step. Your physician and/or physical therapist will perform a thorough evaluation to determine what tendon(s) is involved, the severity of the condition, and the best course of treatment.
Physical therapy for rectus femoris/quadriceps tendinitis must remain conservative at the onset to avoid aggravating the condition. Emphasis will be on rest, reducing the inflammation and increasing the blood circulation for healing. Once the initial inflammation has been reduced, a program of stretching and strengthening will be initiated to restore flexibility to the muscles involved and improve strength to reduce stress on the tendons and the hip. Taping or strapping to rest and reduce the stress placed on the tendon and promote healing may be necessary. Your therapist is trained in these specific taping techniques.
Therapeutic Exercises (TE) including stretching and strengthening exercises to regain range of motion and strengthen muscles of the knee and lower extremity to support, stabilize and decrease the stresses place on the bursa and tendons of the hip joint.
Neuromuscular Reeducation (NMR) to restore stability, retrain the lower extremity and improve movement techniques and mechanics (for example, running, kneeling, squatting and jumping) of the involved lower extremity to reduce stress on the bursa and tendons in daily activities. Taping, strapping or bracing may be useful to rest the tendon and promote healing.
"The therapists and staff at the Twin Boro in North Brunswick truly place their patients first. My six month experience at this office was outstanding. Coming to Twinboro, I was unsure of my diagnosis, but with the help and dedication of my therapist Ivana, answers were found and exercises were set in place to treat my symptoms. Ivana made coming to therapy an enjoyable experience with her attention to detail, compassion, and sociability. It was evident through the environment Ivana created for that she listens to her patients and makes decisions with the best interest of the patient in mind. If you need to attend physical therapy and are in the area, Twin Boro in North Brunswick is the right choice!"

» DUNN, John DUNN, John | Cape Banks Family History Society Inc.
John DUNN was born 14th December 1846 at Murrumburrah near Yass.
He associated with the Ben HALL and John GILBERT gang.
On 26th January 1865 HALL, GILBERT, and John DUNN were involved in a hold up at Collector near Lake George. John DUNN fired twice killing the local policeman, Constable Samuel NELSON and father of 8 children.
DUNN also shot at NELSON's son, but missed.
"The FELLONS APPREHENSIVE Act of 1865"had come into place which allowed for bushrangers to be shot and killed rather than taken for trial which meant they could be shot at and killed by anyone".
Ben HALL went his own way and was surrounded and shot by police at Forbes while GILBERT and DUNN headed for Murrumburrah.
During a gun fight GILBERT was killed on 13th May 1865, he was the only bushranger not to have served time in prison.
7 months later John DUNN was recognised at Walgett on 18th December 1865, he was shot at and wounded, put in Dubbo gaol where he again escaped, this time through an unlocked window, was recaptured the next day and charged with "robbery under arms" for the murder of Constable NELSON, convicted on 19th January 1866 and hung in Darlinghurst gaol on 19th March1866 and buried in Devonshire Street cemetery.
And the light of his love was the lamp through the doom.

Exercises using a med ball or Swiss ball are effective alternatives to the Bench Press for building strength and size in your chest.
Enter any weight room and you'll notice that the Bench Press is generally the go-to exercise for building powerful pecs.
However, when all benches and chest machines are occupied and workout time is limited between practices and games, you have a convenient alternative to—and also a refreshing change from—doing  primarily Bench Presses: performing challenging Swiss ball and medicine ball chest exercises for strength and size gains.
However, when all benches and chest machines are occupied and workout time is limited between practices and games, you have a convenient alternative to—and also a refreshing change from—doing primarily Bench Presses: performing challenging Swiss ball and medicine ball chest exercises for strength and size gains.
These movements complement traditional free weight, machine, and cable chest exercises (e.g., Bench Presses, Incline and Decline Presses, Machine Chest Presses, and Dumbbell and Cable Flies)—so include them when training your chest muscles!
Besides targeting chest muscles, some of the ball exercises are also ideally sports-functional, enhancing core stabilizer muscles for better balance and mimicking sports skills (e.g., tackling and blocking football opponents or holding and bringing down wrestling opponents).
Perform a dynamic upper- and lower-body warm-up (e.g., Frankenstein Walks/Arm Circles).
Sets/Reps: 3x10 (for most exercises) except for isometric holding exercises where indicated; no full range reps are performed.
Hold 10 seconds on the last rep of each set for higher intensity and growth stimulation.
Rest between sets: 15-30 seconds.
Choose two or three Swiss ball chest exercises or two or three med ball chest exercises per workout and change the exercise selections each training session for variety.
Be creative: superset a Swiss ball exercise with a med ball exercise (e.g., Swiss Ball Squeezes with med ball Push-Ups or Swiss Ball Squeezes with Swiss Ball Feet-Elevated Push-Ups).
Incorporate the ball chest exercises with other muscle group exercises for a full-body workout.
Assume an athletic stance with your forearms and hands holding the sides of the ball at chest level.
Squeeze hard for 10-15 seconds.
Breathe naturally, inhaling and exhaling while tightly contracting your abdominal muscles while squeezing the ball (don't hold your breath). Feel the tension in your inner pecs while squeezing.
Rest 30 seconds and do two more sets.
Excellent sports-functional exercise (e.g., wrapping your arms around and tackling a football opponent or bringing a wrestling opponent down to the mat).
Assume a Push-Up position with your hands atop the ball, arms slightly bent and chest directly over the center of the ball.
Raise your heels off the floor (stay on your toes for the duration of the exercise) and keep your back straight while contracting your abdominal muscles.
Descend slowly in two seconds until your chest touches the ball; pause one second.
Slowly return to start position in two seconds.
Perform nine more reps, rest and hydrate, and repeat for two more sets.
Advanced version: Simultaneously engage your core and chest muscles by doing the exercise with one foot airborne to help improve your balance.
Place the ball at the bottom of a wall and assume a Push-Up position with your hands atop the ball.
Do one Push-Up, then raise the ball a few inches against the wall and do another Push-Up.
Continue raising the ball and doing reps until the ball is just above chest level (you should be at 5 reps at this level on the wall).
For the last five reps, reverse the ball height against the wall—performing the reps until the ball is back on the floor.
This exercise effectively works the chest muscles from different angles. It's also another sports-functional movement—as if blocking an opponent on the gridiron who is either your height or taller.
Further intensify the exercise by performing it with one foot off the floor—as in the advanced version of the previous exercise.
Assume a Push-Up position with your feet and toes atop the center of the ball. Keep your back straight and prevent your hips and lower back from sagging. This Push-Up variation targets the chest muscles from another angle while also strengthening core muscles. Further test your balance and core strength by doing this Push-Up exercise with one foot airborne off the ball.
Another sports-functional and chest-building movement that also works lower- and additional upper-body muscles.
Begin by holding the ball close to your chest and spread your feet about shoulder-width apart.
Lunge laterally right while simultaneously explosively pressing the ball outward.
Drag your foot back to start position and continue with nine more right Side Lunges/Press-Outs.
Rest 10 seconds and do 10 left Side Lunges/Press-Outs.
Hydrate, rest, and do two more sets.
Assume a Push-Up position with one hand on the side of the ball (your hands should be slightly wider than shoulder-width apart).
Roll the ball from hand to hand 10 times.
Immediately place both hands atop the ball and do 10 Push-Ups.
Rest and do two more supersets.
Rolling the ball from hand to hand is similar to doing chest flies while also engaging core muscles.
Supersetting Ball Push-Ups also pumps up the pecs.
Sit with your knees slightly bent facing a wall about 2 feet away.
Hold the ball close to your chest and explosively throw it against the wall, catch it, and immediately throw it again 10 times.
Great exercise for building chest, shoulder, and arm strength, size and explosive power used in quick passing motions—e.g., on the basketball or volleyball court.
Lie on your back on the floor or on a mat (softer surface) with your legs extended a few inches in the air and hold the ball close to your chest.
Explosively toss the ball over your chest, catch it, and immediately throw it high again for 10 reps.
A variation of the prior seated exercise targeting the chest and other muscle groups, but also testing core strength with the legs airborne during the Ball Throws.
Perform this exercise as described earlier on a Swiss ball with your feet/toes atop the med ball. And likewise, the advanced version would be doing Push-Ups with one foot airborne off the ball to strengthen your chest and core muscles.

The AFL Rover's top 10 in this year's draft after the U18 championships
The national under-18 championships finished last week and there were some standout performances that have seen names jump up the list of potential draftees this year.
The Rover caught a fair bit of the action and he reckons he knows which kids are worth a punt, and also those to avoid.
MORE: Buckley, Dangerfield disagree on zones | Crows should hand Sloane captaincy, says Cornes
But he doesn't like sticking the boot into the young'uns, so our man is concentrating on the positives.
These are the 10 best of the under-agers, but not necessarily the way they'll fall come draft day, as that'll be affected by the needs of the clubs and, in a couple of cases, access through academies and the father-son rule.
Slide on to see who you should be getting excited about …
Riley Collier-Dawkins
Height: 193cm, Weight: 88kg, Date of Birth: 3/2/00
Tall midfielders are the footballers of the future and, at 193cm, Collier-Dawkins is close Patrick Cripps' specifications. His size also ticks the other important box for the modern mid – the ability to be a marking target when rested up forward.
Jackson Hately
Height: 190cm, Weight: 81kg, Date of Birth: 21/10/00
Another tall midfielder, Hately has improved through the year and could continue to move up the ranks. He's been playing seniors for Central District in the SANFL and has no trouble mixing it with experienced, hard-bodied opponents.
Tarryn Thomas
Height: 189cm, Weight: 73kg, Date of Birth: 25/3/00
Thomas is a boon for Tasmanian junior football and for North Melbourne, as the Roos have access to him through their Next Generation Academy. And they'll take him. Good mix of class and hardness.
Nick Blakey
Key forward
The son of former North Melbourne and Fitzroy player John, Blakey could have chosen the Roos or Lions as a father-son selection, but instead has opted to go to Sydney as a Swans Academy product. He plays as a key forward in junior ranks but could well spend time on the ball, a bit like Jesse Hogan.
Bailey Smith
Height: 185cm, Weight: 82kg, Date of Birth: 7/12/00
Another player that's risen in calculations and could go higher, Smith is a hard-working as well as skillful – the type of footballer who will continue to develop his game and is likely to be a great leader in time.
Ben King
Key defender
King could be just as good as a forward as he is in defence, and has shown plenty of goalkicking ability since changing ends of the ground to cover for injured twin brother Max. But the form he showed down back is a real plus and just what recruiters are looking for.
Max King
A knee injury early in the season has seen King out of action since April, but he was good enough as an under-ager in 2017 to already have his papers stamped as a top 10 prospect.
Izak Rankine
Forward/midfielder
Rankine's exciting – very exciting – and considered to be probably the best footballer in the draft pool, but with most of his work done around goal there are doubts whether the number-one pick would be better used elsewhere. Could slip lower than this and prove to be one of the great draft bargains.
Sam Walsh
This year's Larke medallist for best division-one player at the championships, Walsh could very well go at number one. He's got it all: skill, dedication, durability, endurance and leadership qualities. Walsh racks up possessions and uses them well. Could be Carlton's best option.
Jack Lukosius
There's been a lot of excitement surrounding Lukosius since last year and he's done nothing in 2018 to dampen the hype. Not a huge key forward but plays big while also able to spend time on the ball. The go-home factor may keep the Blues away, but they could also use his South Australian roots to negotiate a mega-trade with the Crows.
