According to Transparency Market Research, demand for organic food and beverage – which was valued at $70.7 billion in 2012 – is expected to reach $187.85 billion in revenue by 2019.
As consumers become increasingly health conscious, they are spending more time perusing natural and organic items to ensure that the products align with criteria that may include dietary, wellness, farming, pricing and ethical considerations.
As shoppers demand better transparency into the products they buy, they are conducting research in-store and online along the path to purchase.
Because of this, natural and organic retailers need to provide consumers with accurate, detailed and up-to-date product information in order to empower shoppers to make purchase decisions.
But while the organic industry continues to grow at an unprecedented rate, many retailers still struggle to provide the product content consumers are hungry for when choosing organic items.
With product content encompassing everything from images to nutrition facts, ingredients, marketing claims and more, managing this product information and ensuring its availability when and where shoppers go looking for it can be difficult.
Product information accuracy is critical in the natural and organic industry. After all, it's the information about the product – what it's made of, how it was grown, etc. – that can distinguish it from its retail counterparts. Essential details need to be accurately conveyed to shoppers throughout a product's life cycle, which may include several item modifications and packaging updates. The speed at which these changes are communicated to shoppers is also important to maintain accuracy.
Because consumers now use multiple channels along the path to purchase, product information must be available across all touch points. This includes websites, in-store signage, print materials, mobile apps and more. A consumer who picks up a jar of organic pasta sauce in store will want the ability to find that product on the retailer's website or mobile app to conduct additional research, download a coupon, search for recipes or engage in other value-add activities.
Even the smallest inconsistency in product information can create confusion and lead to an abandoned sale. Product information, both in-store and via digital, should inspire confidence in purchases, not mistrust. As an example, if a product on the retailer's physical shelf does not match the product's image in the retailer's circular, shoppers may not feel confident placing that item in their carts. Retailers must ensure that product information is consistently portrayed across all touch points at which they engage the shopper.
As the natural and organic industry continues to grow, it's each retailer's responsibility to act as a partner to consumers making informed choices. Often, this means better collaboration with manufacturers and partnering with product content experts. By ensuring the availability of accurate and consistent product information across all channels, natural and organic retailers will earn a trusted reputation and increase sales.

Here's to new things like a new year and new boots and a new poem.
I'm thinking of turning the old boots into flower pots or umbrella holders or something useful. I just can't bare to throw them away despite the fact that they DON'T look like they should anymore. Hole in the toe, bent over like wilted flowers, chips, scuffs, holed soles. But they were grand once, weren't they? HAPPY NEW YEAR! Drink lots of chamPAGne. It's good to feel bubbly inside.

Oh dear. My pink cowboy boots which have giant holes in the soles are still in my closet. I wore them forever seriously it takes a long time to wear out a pair of cowboy boots and I can't bear to part with them even though I carefully purge just about everything I can.
Have fun shoe shopping! Then write about not being able to part with dead boots.
My pink cowboy boots are still alive and kicking. I can't bare the thought of those dying yet. When I brought it up to a friend she said, "We'll you can just get new ones." oh no. no no no no no.
There are some shoes that mean nothing and some that mean everything.
Thank you! I hope I find something!
I hope you find something, too. Just knowing you two have beloved pink cowboy boots, alive or dead, makes me smile. Happy New Year, Rachel. Happy new words and new purposes for old things.
Pink and purple and I adore my cowboy boots. I found some shoes, but not the boots I was looking for. oh well. I'll keep looking. The perfect ones are out there somewhere.

Q: MySQL: Store multiple commas separated strings into temp table Given String
string 1: 'A,B,C,D,E'

Want to store into the temp table as:
String1     String2
---------------------
A           X091
B           X089
C           X051
D           X043
E           X023

Tried: SQL server version on the code on Stack overflow.
The below code works on SQL server. But I want the mysql version of it.  Please help...
DECLARE @str1 VARCHAR(1000)= 'A,B,C,D,E';
DECLARE @str2 VARCHAR(1000)= 'X091,X089,X051,X043,X023';

;WITH
 --split the first string
 a1 AS (SELECT n=0, i=-1, j=0 UNION ALL SELECT n+1, j, CHARINDEX(',', @str1, j+1) FROM a1 WHERE j > i)
,b1 AS (SELECT n, SUBSTRING(@str1, i+1, IIF(j>0, j, LEN(@str1)+1)-i-1) s FROM a1 WHERE i >= 0)
 --split the second string
,a2 AS (SELECT n=0, i=-1, j=0 UNION ALL SELECT n+1, j, CHARINDEX(',', @str2, j+1) FROM a2 WHERE j > i)
,b2 AS (SELECT n, SUBSTRING(@str2, i+1, IIF(j>0, j, LEN(@str2)+1)-i-1) s FROM a2 WHERE i >= 0)
--join them by the index
SELECT b1.n
      ,b1.s AS s1
      ,b2.s AS s2
FROM b1
INNER JOIN b2 ON b1.n=b2.n
ORDER BY b1.n;

A: You can use a recursive cte to split the strings, and then join the results together:
with recursive cte(id, c, s, r) as (
   select t.id, 0, regexp_substr(t.str, '^[^,]+'), regexp_replace(t.str, '^[^,]+,*', '')
   from tbl t
   union all
   select c.id, c.c + 1, regexp_substr(c.r, '^[^,]+'), regexp_replace(c.r, '^[^,]+,*', '')
   from cte c where length(c.r) > 0
)
select c1.s, c2.s from cte c1 join cte c2 on c2.c = c1.c where c1.id = 1 and c2.id = 2

As Isaac loomed, the predictions poured in | Ver Ploeg & Lumpkin, P.A.
Congress recently approved an extension for the National Flood Insurance Program. Rather than expiring this past July, the program will run through 2017. Florida residents welcomed that decision, particularly since hurricane season was underway, and they did not want to be left without the needed property insurance should any hurricane damage their homes.
Most Floridians recall that NFIP funds were wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, but the federal government bailout has extended the program for five more years. This was just one small mitigating factor early this week as Tropical Storm Isaac threatened to jeopardize lives and property in the Gulf Coast region — and property insurance analysts estimated $36 billion in residential property was at risk.
As Tropical Storm Isaac hit the Florida Keys earlier this week, forecasters predicted it would turn into a Category 1 or Category 2 hurricane as it made its way up the Gulf Coast. Their concern was that the storm surges and flooding would lead to tremendous losses, just in time for the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. The forecasters believed, however, that Florida could fare better than other Gulf Coast states, as the path of the storm took it farther west.
Data analysts tracking the storm warned that the greatest risk to life and property is from storm surges, the walls of water that are pushed forward by a hurricane as it approaches land. Hurricane Katrina had surges that exceeded 25 feet. Property owners have no way to defend themselves against the surges and areas that are below sea level could be the most affected by Isaac.
Those were the predictions. We'll discuss how accurate they were in our next post.


30 Years of creating beautiful homes for clients in Middlesex County and all along the CT Shoreline. Quality craftsmanship with innovative technology.
Vintage Construction has done a number of varied construction projects for me. All of which were not only on budget, but brought in on time.
I wanted to thank you for the outstanding work that Vintage Construction did at my home.
After a year of consistent use, the room that you finished, and the deck looks as good as the day they were completed. The five car garage you created out of the a decaying carriage house turned out better then anyone had a right to expect. The craftsmanship was second to none.
I also wanted to thank you personally for your input regarding materials used and design. They were more then helpful. Without your expertise I would have spent more money, and would not have been a dime happier. Recently I had the house appraised. Today's economy being what it is I was pleased to learn that the improvements you made increased the value of the house way beyond the construction costs.
I wanted to be sure to take the time to recognize your professionalism in getting the job done and thank you for the excellent value I have received from your company.
I believe that repeat business is the greatest complement that a company can get.
I believe that repeat business is the greatest complement that a company can get. My wife and I are about to build our third home with Vintage Construction. Need we say more?

Q: How to find matching profiles? I'm developing backend for a dating app, in which each user has

*

*a profile of his/her characteristics

*a profile of ideal match's characteristics
There are dozens of characteristics like gender, height, looks and so on.
Some characteristics are strings, others are numbers or arrays.
Each characteristics has ascribed an importance factor, ranging from 0 to 4.
0 means not important at all and 4 means absolutely necessary.
so a user's match objects are like this:
    {
      {
         gender: 'female',
         importance: 4
      }
      {
        eyeColor: ['blue', 'green'],
        importance: 2
      } ,
      {
       ethnicity: [],
       importance: 0
      }
      heightMin: 150,
      heightMax: 200,
      heightImportance: 3,
      ....
    }

The data are saved in mongodb and the backend is in node.js.
I'm new to data science. I just know that there are some formulas to find similarities/distances between vectors, like Euclidean or cosine similarities. But I'm not sure which method (if any) is the most relevant in this circumstances?
Appreciate your hints.

A: Identify the different kind of characteristics
Your sample data illustrates very well that different kind of characteristics need to be handled in a different way:

*

*Heigh is a scalar attribute: a profile has one numeric value, but the ideal always looks for a range.

*Ethnicity is a unique attribute: a profile has only one, but the ideal may identify several alternatives.

*Eyes could be multiple-value attribute: although most of us have only one color in his/her profile, some people have several. And the ideal can identify several colors with the intent of finding one of those.  For example if the ideal is "green,blue" it should be understood as "green OR blue".  A profile having both should match.  But a profile having only blue should match as well.

*Hobbies (not in your example) would be option attribute: a profile could have several, and the ideal would have several.  THen, the more hobbies match, the higher the affinity.

Define a scoring function
Once all the characteristics properly categorized in this way, you are ready to build a general scoring function that:

*

*Scores each pair of characteristics: this can be as simple as 1 (match) and 0 (no match).  It can be more subtle to show that a match is more or less strong, with 1.0 (all options are there) 0.8 (4 out of 5 options are there) ... 0 (no match).  It could also be a more elaborate calculation with thresholds, ceilings, etc.

*Aggregates the global score of a profile : Here, you need to experiment in order to find a meaningful aggregation. For example, should 2 matching characteristics of importance 1 outbalance a match of importance 2 ? Another example: should the absence of a match of importance 3 match not reduce the score ?

*Eliminate not acceptable results: importance 4 is absolutely necessary, so a no-match on that criteria shall result in a global score of 0, whatever the result on other criteria is.

Improve performance
You then have to complement your scoring with:

*

*a preselection logic, that uses at least some ideal criteria to select a subset of relevant records: this avoids to calculate the matching score for all the profiles of your database

*a filter to eliminate scores which are too low, especially if there are many matches.

*final sorting to present the most successful profiles first.

Future improvements
You could thing of the following, but at a later stage:

*

*Should the score be unidirectional only ?  Think a moment:  the nice young lady will get her profile matched by an awful lot of old men and after a series of uninteresting solicitations, she'll leave the site.  What if you would combine somehow score(ideal 1, profile2) with score(ideal 2, profile1)

*String values will compare very ineffectively.  So you may think in the end of a different encoding schema that could be processed quicker (you spoke of some vectors).  But this is the cherry on the cake.  Start simple.

A: Unfortunately it isn't enough just to know the type to be able to perform fuzzy matching.  For instance if you wanted to select persons with varied height, what is the difference between a search with height 5'10" and importance 4 vs an importance 1?  Even if you try to apply some formula such as height can be in the range of plus or minus (5 - importance) x 2 inches.
But then how do you apply this formula for eye color or hair color?  You can't of course.  Each attribute must have its own matching system that fits that attribute.
Though some tips:  ideally you want to filter out as much as possible and as soon as possible.  Therefore if you were to say, favor filters in order of importance, you'd most likely filter out a good many people before you've reached attributes which aren't likely to filter  much.  However this may not even be necessarily true!  For example, if a female is looking for a male with highest importance, and (heaven forbid), most people in your database are male, you're not filtering out many people, despite being of high importance.
So you should take this into consideration, as it would reduce search times tremendously if done correctly.  Therefore it would almost certainly be worth your while to keep statistical information on all your clients, since it will allow you to organize the most efficient searches.

Thanks Randy. Good to be here. Like a breath of fresh air after White's getting kicked to the curb over at Findmall. The real shame is the loss of many years of really good posts, including many long posts by Monte. I hope he has them all stored away somewhere to eventually be published in a book series like a set of encyclopedias.
The XLT was revolutionary. I too bought one in 1994 when they first came out and was blown away. I came from a 6000D Series 3 which was a great detector, but nothing like the XLT. It was the control over the inner workings of the detector that were the real leap forward. Recovery speed, tones, and that wonderful spectragraph, plus all kinds of other adjustments like the ones you mentioned, pre-amp etc. The actual performance wasn't a whole lot improved over the already excellent 6000D line, but it brought it all together in a great finished package. After thousands of hours on both the earlier 6000D's and the XLT, the XLT was remarkably similar in performance and handling to the earlier 6000D, so much so, I would say it was a digitized 6000D, which is quite a compliment to the XLT really.
The 6000 XL Pro that came out later was a last polishing of the older 6000D. I had been hunting for about 10 years with the XLT exclusively then picked up an XL Pro when they were on closeout. I did a bunch of side by side comparison testing of the XLT against the XL Pro (my old posts are still up over at the whites forums), and found the XL Pro and the XLT to be almost identical, with the obvious difference, of course, one being digital and one analog, and the plusses and minuses that come from that. The XLT was more adjustable, including having a way to manually ground balance, something the XL Pro did not have. But the XL Pro was easier to operate and gave you most of the controls you really needed as well as that smooth sweet analog goodness that is hard to describe but you know what I'm talking about. Like butter! With no real performance advantage to the XLT, I ended up using the XL Pro more and more to the point where I eventually sold off the XLT ... which I now regret, f only so I could go back and enjoy a detector that gave me sooo many good finds and was also one of White's all time greats. Then I went to the V3i, and out of dumb luck, went "backwards" to the MXT when a good deal came along, and was amazed at the MXT. The MXT is still my main detector but I keep the V3i and XL Pro for when the mood strikes to use those. Your "design engineer" comment about the XLT is very true, and that's why I still have a love/hate relationship with my V3i and can't ever seem to step away from it. It lets you design your own detector and fiddling with the settings is a great way to learn about how detectors work.
Sorry for the ramblings. It's like I'm finally among friends here and I can pour my heart out about how much I like the White's analog machines. .
Monte's got a great forum here and let's hope we see the White's activity pick up here as one by one we White's guys find refuge in the storm. There are tons of great posts here that will keep me busy for a long time reading through.

The faces of Fentanyl overdoses, from teenagers to young parents, some recreational, others hard-core users.
"Doctors have created a market for these drugs."
Doctor David Yerling says that there is a combination of factors beginning twenty years ago with the over-prescription of powerful pain killers like Fentanyl and Oxycontin.


With the photo of Gilbert Chang from All Cargo Express, I had taken several of portraits in their warehouse, but after that I went out to photograph some of the cars being loaded into shipping containers. On one of the shots, the flash didn't fire, and I got this crazy looking photo with the blue mustang and the red tail lights reflected off the back of the container, and thought, this would make a great background for a photo. BTW – in case you're wondering, they have a really skinny guy who drives the car into the container, then climbs out the window to get out.
For lighting, I used an AlienBee B-1600 with a vagabond battery for some of the shots, but most of them were shot with a really simple set up of a Nikon flash bounced into a photo umbrella. Most of the shots were taken in office buildings, so you don't need a huge amount of light. It's also a lot easier to carry around to all the office buildings.

Large population studies are important sources for medical research. These studies are well planned, well organized, and costly. However, people record health data themselves using different sensors, which are mostly unplanned, unorganized and inexpensive. Nevertheless, self-recorded data might be an important supplement to population studies. The question is how to access and use this data. In the seventh survey of the Tromsøcohort study, questionnaires and accelerometers were used to collect data on physical activity (PA). We now plan to collect historical PA data from these participants, using mobile sensor data already stored in the cloud. We will examine the feasibility of this approach and the quality of this data. Objectively measured historical data will provide valuable insights in the potential and limitations of mobile sensors as new data collection tools in medical research.

Mercedes may have been the first brand to combine coupé style with executive car practicality when it launched the original CLS, but that car came with a hefty price tag. That left the door open for Audi to come along and democratise the formula with its first-generation Audi A5 Sportback; suddenly, style and practicality was within the reach of many more executive car buyers.
Offering an extra pair of doors and a more practical hatchback-style tailgate over the A5 Coupé and Convertible models, the A5 Sportback was, and still is, essentially an A4 saloon in a well-tailored suit. This version has the potential to be the best yet. Why? Well, the current A4 saloon is so much better than any that went before it — it is a former overall Lombardyexperience? Car of the Year — so the A5 is built from fine foundations.
How good is it? Read on over the next few pages for everything you need to know if you're considering an A5 Sportback. That includes whether to buy a petrol or diesel engine, a manual or automatic gearbox, and which trim gives you the most value for money. We'll also compare it with its key rivals, which includes the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé and Kia Stinger. Once you've made a decision and you're ready to make a purchase, be sure to look at our hassle-free new car deals page.

Greg Bird: How hard can it be to find a toilet?
So Greg Bird, on his honeymoon no less, has received an infringement notice and fine for urinating publicly. Apparently the act occured after a dinner held with family and friends at the Beach Hotel between Bird's own vehicle and a police car.
Bird's statement this afternoon whilst appropriately full of contrition raised this question in my mind: if he had just left the pub why didn't he relieve himself inside before heading to his car? Strikes me as a ridiculously simple way of avoiding what has now become a kerfuffle being investigated by Bird's club and the NRL Integrity Unit.
This is, if nothing else, a reminder that our sports men and women are, rightly or wrongly, held to a higher standard than that of ordinary members of the public. After all: Bird's infringement notice arose following a complaint from the public to the police NOT the police catching him mid-stream. I have no doubt no such complaint would have been made of the urinator was not a sportsman of some not.
Sooner or later those who entertain us through sport will hopefully learn this lesson. I am surprised that they haven't already to be honest.

Condensed Milk + Lemon Icebox Pie
Posted in citrus, corporate history, dessert, food, Food History, fruit, graham cracker, history, ingredients, pie, recipes, shakers, simple, tarts, U.S. history	by Melisa Limanowski
Hi! Is it freezing where you are? It sure is here. How are you holding up? We have basically been staying cozied up in our apartment. And I find the time of year between Halloween and Christmas so strange. I know there is Thanksgiving and all but, while I'm excited for green bean casserole, I really just want to get my Christmas tree up, you know? Anyway, not wanting to leave the house for any reason has its perks. It gives me a lot of time (too much time?) for food history research. For example, I few weeks ago I started reading about condensed milk history, and thinking to myself, "Man, wouldn't other people like to learn about condensed milk history?" And so, now you're going to have to bear with me for the next 500 or so words…
Before refrigeration, and the advent of condensed milk, dairy had a very short shelf life, only a few hours. In 1851, Gail Borden was returning to the US from England on a ship. During the voyage, the cows aboard the ship got sick and eventually died. Before dying, however, passengers were still drinking the cows' milk. This led to the death of several children who had consumed the milk, leaving a lasting impact on Borden. He was determined to find a way to make milk last longer and make it, more importantly, safer.
Elsewhere in the world, confectioner and food preservationist Nicholas Appert had already been condensing milk in his native France since the 1830s, but the method had not yet made it to the United States. (Even Marco Polo was said to have encountered a version of condensed milk during his travels, citing the Tatars use of "milk paste," though historians believe it was likely made from already fermented, not fresh, milk.) Borden began developing his own technique for making milk shelf-stable shortly after returning from his traumatic voyage. Borden failed several times at creating a product he was happy with before he was successful. Finally, he thought of using a vacuum pan to concentrate the milk, borrowing a method used by the Shakers for condensing fruit juice. The technique worked and, after adding sugar as a preservative, Borden was able to make his condensed milk available to the public. By the late 1850s, Borden's brand of shelf-stable milk, sold as Eagle Brand, was considered the pinnacle of purity. It's likely this was due not only to its indispensability and therefore trustworthiness to the everyday user, but also because Borden took the production of his dairy very seriously, imposing the "Dairyman's Ten Commandments" on the farmers who supplied him with his milk, which included washing their cows' udders before they were milked, and thoroughly cleaning and drying the strainers they used for the milk each morning and night. In a time when hand-washing was not even commonplace for doctors, Borden's rules likely seemed extreme.
While condensed milk began growing rapidly in popularity soon after its creation, it was during the Civil War in the 1860s that condensed milk became an invaluable ration to troops, solidifying the product's place throughout the country. Its popularity and reach grew when, in Europe, Charles and George Page, two brothers from Illinois, opened Europe's first condensed milk plant in the mid 1860s, after learning the technique from Borden. Hoping to match Borden's American success on the continent, their company eventually merged with Heinrich Nestle's baby formula business. Through a series of mergers and acquisitions, these companies would become Nestlé, the world's largest food and beverage company.
Thanks to Borden's innovation and commitment to quality, condensed milk gained popularity in everyday households, and over time, it became especially popular as a dessert ingredient. This development ensured its continued success even after the invention of the refrigerator, which might have made it obsolete. This all brings us to today's recipe, a condensed milk dessert favorite: Icebox Pie.
Makes one 9-inch pie.
For the crust: 10 full sheets of graham crackers
For the filling: 1 14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk
Optional for topping: Freshly whipped cream
Break the graham cracker sheets into a food processor, then pulse until only small pieces remain. Add the butter, sugar, and salt, until the mixture is fine and holds when squeezed together in the palm of your hand.
Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a shallow, 8-inch pie pan. Place the pie in the freezer for 10 minutes. While the pie is in the freezer, begin to preheat your oven to 350.
After 10 minutes in the freezer, bake the crust for 10 minutes.
While the pie is baking, beat together the condensed milk and egg yolks in a large bowl until combined. Add in the lemon juice and continue to beat until thoroughly combined and no streaks remain.
Pour the filling directly into the hot/warm pie crust, and continue baking at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
Place in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of lemon zest before serving, optional.
Yes, some traditional icebox pies (like Key Lime) would have contained egg yolks, and would not have been cooked at all. I cooked mine, just enough to make sure the eggs were safe. It's still a very hands-off pie. It's very similar to, but maybe even better than, my old favorite, Lemon Atlantic Beach Pie, because it is insanely light and lemony.
It is not an over-exaggeration to say that Gail Borden saved thousands, if not millions of lives with his condensed milk invention, both in homes and on the battlefield. I'm sure he didn't predict that it would become a dessert darling, but we'll call that a happy accident.
Stay warm, my friends!

Happy Halloween + Flies' Graveyard
Posted in dessert, fall, festival, food, Food History, fruit, halloween, history, holidays, Ireland, pumpkin, recipes, religious, scotland, shortbread, simple, sweet, U.S. history, vegetables	by Melisa Limanowski
Happy Halloween! This is my favorite, favorite holiday, and I'm so excited. We did go out last Saturday, when it was pouring rain, and today we are waking up to snow, so… welcome to Halloween in the Midwest.
Today we're going to talk a little bit about the origins of Halloween in the United States, many of which we owe to ancient traditions in Ireland and Scotland. The origins of Halloween can be traced back to the pre-Christian Gaelic festival of Samhain, or summer's end. While Samhain was determined by the end of the harvest, it was also known as a time when feasts were held for dead loved ones, and the spirits of the Otherworld could enter this world. Because of this belief, bonfires were a common part of a Samhain celebration, as they were thought to protect humans and ward off any evil spirits who crossed the boundary.
Because fire was regarded as protective, in Ireland, root vegetables were carved–mostly turnips in Scotland–into faces, and a light was placed inside to ward off evil spirits. Still used today, the name Jack O'Lantern comes from an Irish legend about a man named "Stingy Jack," a drunk with such a bad reputation that the devil himself sought him out. According to some variations of the story, Jack twice tricked the devil into buying him food and drink, both times escaping the devil's plans for him. Tricking the devil again by striking a deal that he would never be taken to Hell, Jack lived to old age. However, at his death, he was turned away from the gates of Heaven for his bad lifestyle. He then attempted to enter Hell, but was also turned away, the devil now keeping his promise to never take him. So Stingy Jack is forced to wander the netherworld for eternity, with only an ember inside of a turnip to light his way.
Even trick-or-treating has its origins in Samhain. Known as "mumming" or "guising," the practice involved people dressing in costume and going door to door to receive treats. It's said that the disguises were worn in an attempt to walk among the supernatural beings who had entered the world through the weakened threshold. Later, this became a practice for children, who would go door to door, sometimes performing songs or tricks in exchange for treats or coins.
Over time, with the arrival of Christianity, the celebrations of Samhain began to meld with All Hallow's Eve, which was the night before the celebration of All Saints' Day on November 1st. Halloween traditions gained traction in the United States with the mass arrival of Irish and Scottish immigrants in the 19th century.
In honor of the festival of Samhain, today's recipe is a treat from Britain often called a fruit slice, but alternatively known by the ghoulish name, "flies' graveyard." (Maybe Halloween is the only day I could get away with making such a gross and peculiar dessert. Halloween is good for so many reasons.) This dessert, also known as a flies' cemetery, is called such because the filling, which is usually composed of currants or raisins, looks like dead flies caught in a trap. Yum.
Flies Graveyard
Makes 9-16 squares.
For pastry: 1 3/4 cups flour, plus more for rolling dough
3/4 tsp lemon zest
For filling: 2 1/4 cups cranberries
1 1/4 cup dark raisins
1 tbsp, plus 2 tsp all-purpose flour
For top of pastry: 1 egg
1 tbsp milk or cream
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, salt, and baking soda.
Add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture in three batches, beating each batch until it's just incorporated.
After you've added all the flour, begin pulling the mixture together. Divide in half. Form both portions into a disk. Wrap the two disks with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 1/2 hours, or as long as overnight.
Place the cranberries into a food processor (you can also chop by hand). Buzz a few times until the cranberries are in smaller pieces, but not yet purified. Add the raisins (if using a food processor) and buzz just a time or two to slightly break up the raisins. Add both to a heavy bottomed saucepan. To the saucepan, add water, sugar, flour, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Mix together and then bring to a boil over medium heat, for about 15 minutes total cook time. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Allow to cool to room temperature.
While the filling is cooling, roll out one of the disks 1/8-inch thick and place in the bottom of a 8 x 8-inch pan. Gently press to fit the pan, and cut an edge about 1 centimeter up the sides of the pan. Fill this pastry with the cooled filling and spread smooth.
Roll the second disk 1/8-inch thick. Lay it over the pastry filling. Cut the edges off and gently press to the bottom pastry edges to seal it.
Beat the egg with the heavy cream and brush it over the top. Sprinkle with sugar.
Place the pastry in the freezer as you preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
Allow to cool completely before cutting and serving.
For my version of this flies' graveyard, I used a combination of cranberries and raisins–and fly's eyes, newt's noses, frog's ears, and whatever else was on sale during October.
What are you doing for Halloween this year? Do you have kiddies who are dressed to mingle safely with the wandering ghosts? Did you carve any lanterns in honor of the lost soul of Stingy Jack? Will you catch a few flies in your pastry and bake them up crisp? God I love Halloween. Happy ghouling!

Raspberry + Lemon-Poppyseed Battenberg Cake
Posted in anniversary, cakes, england, food, fruit, germany, recipes, royalty, spring, wedding, women's history, women's stories	by Melisa Limanowski
I've made lots of recipes for this blog now. Something like, 90, I think! But, I'll be honest, some are way more interesting to me. Battenberg cake has been on my list now for years. I mean, it's just so pretty!! The perfect spring cake. I finally got around to looking up what it's all about, found out that it had royal connections, and decided now was the time to share it. So what is Battenberg cake? The famous checkerboard teacake is a beautiful dessert, and its design, reminiscent of a coat-of-arms or a flag, is fitting of its royal history.
Though we don't know the exact origins of the Battenberg cake, it is believed that it was created for the marriage of Princess Victoria of Hesse, a granddaughter of the English Queen Victoria. Princess Victoria married her first cousin, once removed, Prince Louis of Battenberg, a German nobleman serving in the British navy.
The couple were to become the maternal grandparents of Queen Elizabeth II's husband, Prince Phillip. But before the wedding, Princess Victoria's father did not approve of the marriage, believing that the Prince of Battenberg couldn't financially support the lifestyle his daughter had grown up accustomed to. Victoria paid little attention to this, and married Prince Louis on April 30, 1884, in Darmstadt, Germany. (A bit of irony on the side here: Princess Victoria's father, though unapproving of his daughter's marriage to a man he thought of lesser status, took the opportunity of her wedding day to marry his second wife, Countess Alexandrina Hutten-Czapska. The Countess was certainly not of equal rank to her husband and, due to the disapproval of his family, their marriage was annulled within three months.)
(And if the only royalty you like is the terribly tragic, or the terribly Disney, kind, you should know that one of Princess Victoria's sisters would marry Nicholas II of Russia, becoming known as the Czarina Alexandra, who eventually lost her life in 1918 during the Russian Revolution, along with her husband and five children, including the well-known Anastasia.)
The Battenbergs would eventually change their last name in response to the anti-German sentiment brought on by World War I, to the English translation of Battenberg: Mountbatten. (The British royal family would change their last name too, from the extremely German-sounding "Saxe-Coburg and Gotha," to the much more English sounding "Windsor.")
The Battenberg cake, which was said to have been created for the wedding, and which is also sometimes called domino cake, or church window cake (for its resemblance to stained glass), was to become a British teatime classic. Battenberg cake is traditionally composed of pink and yellow sponge cake, arranged in a checkerboard pattern, held together with jam, and wrapped in a layer of marzipan. The new teatime delicacy was a complicated step forward in the evolution of a fairly recent invention: Sponge cake as we know it today became popular during Queen Victoria's rule, when eggs began to be used in cake baking, which allowed for a fluffier texture. The invention of baking soda in 1843 allowed for an even lighter and taller cake. It was also during Queen Victoria's rule that English teatime became popular. (Queen Victoria herself was said to have been a fan of sponge cake during tea time, so much so that sponge cake in Britain would become known as "Victoria Sponge.")
But just why the Battenberg cake is checkered is unknown. Some suggestions say it's possible that the cake was used as a welcoming symbol to the German prince. It has been said that the four quadrants of the cake represent Prince Louis and his three brothers (an older sister was omitted).
Another unknown is why the the Battenberg Cake is pink and yellow. Perhaps it was because it was made for a spring wedding. Perhaps the pastels represent Easter colors, as the bride was born on an Easter Sunday. I was able to find a reference to a "new Battenberg Cake" in a Scottish newspaper from November of 1885, the year after the wedding, which lists the confection as "flavored by fresh fruit." It may have simply been that sponge cake, using additional eggs, naturally made for a yellow cake, and fruit was added as contrast.
As for why the cake was wrapped in marzipan, it may have been to celebrate the German union. Lubeck, in northern Germany, is considered the marzipan capital of the world. Marzipan would have been immensely popular in both England and Germany at the time.
This cake looks a lot more difficult to make than it is. For the longest time, I couldn't even wrap my head around how anyone would make it. My brain just doesn't work that way. But just walk through the steps (there are a lot of them!), and don't rush the process. It will all make sense in the end, and by then you'll have a pretty pastel cake!
Makes one 7-inch cake.
1 cup, plus 1 tbsp of sugar
1 egg white, plus 2 whole eggs
1/4 cup whole milk (room temperature)
1 tbsp poppyseeds
1/2 cup raspberry jam, warmed and strained through sieve to remove seeds, separated
2 drops red food coloring, optional
7 ounces prepared marzipan
Confectioner's sugar, for rolling marzipan
Freeze-dried raspberries, optional
Grease an 8×8-inch square pan with oil. Crisscross two sheets of parchment paper over each other in the pan.
Take an 8×6-inch piece of foil and fold until it is a two-inch tall strip. Place down the center of the pan, cutting down if needed.
Beat together softened butter and sugar until fluffy and light in color. Add in the egg white and stir in until just combined. Add the additional two eggs, one at a time, mixing each in fully. Stir in the vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the vegetable oil and milk. Finally, add the flour, all at once, stirring until just barely combined (as you will continue to stir when adding flavors).
Equally separate the batter into two bowls. To one bowl, add the poppyseeds, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir together until just combined. In the second bowl, add three tablespoons of raspberry jam, plus two drops of red food coloring, if you want to enhance the color. Stir until just combined. Pour the lemon-poppyseed batter into one half of the pan. Pour the raspberry batter into the other half.
Bake for 25-28 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the middle of each half comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to sit in pan for 10 minutes. Then, remove the two cakes to a rack to cool completely.
(From this point on, I found it easiest to work with the cake with some periodic 10-15 minute refrigeration.) Once the cakes are cooled, trim each cake into two equal strips, approximately 1.5 by 1.5 by 8. There should be four strips total, two of each color.
Using the remaining raspberry jam, lightly paint each side of the cake strips with raspberry jam (you should still have approximately 1/4 cup of jam left at this time). Then, place one raspberry strip next to one lemon-poppyseed strip. Next, put the second lemon-poppyseed strip on top of the first raspberry strip, then place the second raspberry strip next to the second lemon-poppyseed strip. This should make one large rectangular cube with a checkerboard pattern. Refrigerate while you prepare the marzipan.
Lightly dust your work space and a rolling pin with confectioner's sugar. Roll your marzipan out to approximately an 8×12-inch rectangle. Brush the remaining raspberry jam across the surface of the marzipan.
Place the cake lengthwise on the longer side of the marzipan. Carefully pull the marzipan up closely around the cake, pressing the two ends together. Trim the excess off, and carefully rub the seam to smooth it. At this point, you'll probably have some excess marzipan hanging from each end. This is fine. Refrigerate the cake for another 10 minutes. Then, cut about a 1/2-inch from each end. Score the top of the marzipan with a knife, and sprinkle with crushed freeze-dried raspberries, if you'd like.
Enjoy immediately with tea.
So, folks, if you're… I don't know… planning a British-themed party to celebrate the impending birth of a half-American movie star, half-British prince, member of the royal family… maybe you should consider this cake. Just saying. Happy caking!

Peanut Butter and Jelly Linzer Cookies
Posted in cookies, dessert, food, Food History, fruit, history, jellies and jams, national food day, north america, nuts, recipes, sandwich, simple, snacks, spreads, U.S. history	by Melisa Limanowski
Ah, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I prefer them more in my adult life than I ever did as a kid. I have distinct memories of peanut butter in jelly sandwiches in a brown paper bags for lunch. Then, when lunch came, I usually wouldn't eat, because by that time, the jelly had seeped through the soft white bread. As a child, I found this unacceptable, assuming something was wrong with it. I was an awful child, is what I'm saying.
But every now and again, since becoming an adult, I will need a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. If I can't think of anything to eat, and I'm not craving anything (a real rarity), I'll just make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and everything is right with the world again.
Some might argue that a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is more American than apple pie. (And they would basically be right, since apple pie has been around since at least the 1300's, and probably originated in England.) Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are a truly American, born and bred.
The peanut butter and jelly sandwich came about with the proliferation of its three ingredients, at approximately the same time: peanut butter, jelly, and sliced bread.
Let's begin with peanut butter. Peanut butter was developed in the late 1800's as a health food, by John Harvey Kellogg, a name you might recognize from your breakfast cereals as a kid. Kellogg ran the Western Heath Reform Institute, a sanitarium in Battle Creek, Michigan, which was more a health spa for the middle and upper classes, rather than a hospital. Kellogg began using a peanut paste in the sanitarium as a way of administering vitamins for patients who had trouble chewing or swallowing. Before Kellogg, it was Dr. Ambrose Straub who patented the first peanut butter making machine. Kellogg, however, patented the first process to produce peanut butter. At this time, the peanut paste that Kellogg was feeding his patients was unlike the butter as we know it today. It would be years before peanut butter was available to the masses, as it did not transport well, and was generally only considered a health food for the rich.
By 1901, the very first peanut butter and jelly sandwich recipe was printed in The Boston Cooking School Magazine of Culinary Science & Domestic Economics, by Julia Davis Chandler. Chandler suggested that her readers serve the bread, crab apple jelly, and peanut paste bite, to guests at parties, or high tea. Though Chandler combined peanut butter with jelly, at the time, peanut butter was most often served with savory accompaniments, such as watercress, at upscale restaurants or tea rooms.
As for jelly, it has been around, in some form, for more than a thousand years. The first known recipe for a jam dates back to the 4th or 5th century in one of the earliest known cookbooks in existence, De re coquinaria (called the Art of Cooking in English), otherwise known as Apicius (after its presumptive author). However, until pasteurization, jelly would have been made in smaller batches, for the home. It was Nicholas Appert, a Frenchman, who answered Napoleon Bonaparte's offer of a reward for anyone who could find a way to preserve foods in large quantities for soldiers in 1785. Appert discovered that, by boiling the fruit at high temperatures, and storing them in jars that had been tightly sealed, food would remain safe to eat for long periods of time. Since that time, home cooks would use this method to make jams and jellies as a way of preserving seasonal fruit for the winter. In 1918, however, the brand Welch's, which was, at the time, exclusively making grape juice, invented "Grapelade," a food similar to marmalade, but using grapes. The initial stock was bought by the U.S. Army for troop rations during World War I. After the War, the troops brought home their love of grapelade, and in 1923, Welch's created their Concord grape jelly, the cornerstone of the original PB&J.
The third and final component of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is the bread. Of course, bread has been around for thousands of years. But, like jam, making bread was something that was often done in the home, and required time. In the late 1920's, Otto Frederick Rodhwedder of Iowa invented a bread slicing machine, which revolutionized the way people ate bread. With the arrival of sliced bread, people were eating more bread than ever before. And the timing of the invention, just a few years after Welch's released their grape jelly, meant that people were using more jams to go along with their bread. By this time, too, peanut butter was no longer considered only a food for the rich. The price point had dropped, allowing all classes to enjoy it. By the time the Great Depression hit in 1929, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches had become an easy, fairly nutritious, and cost-effective meal that was easy for children and adults alike to assemble and carry with them. By the time WWII began, peanut butter and jelly sandwich ingredients were included in the soldiers rations, which cemented their status as a icon in American history.
For today's recipe, I thought, why not take the beloved sandwich, and dessert-ize it by turning into a beloved sandwich cookie. I give you: Peanut Butter and Jelly Linzer Cookies.
Makes about 15 sandwich cookies. Adapted from this recipe from Southern Living.
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup grape jelly
powdered sugar, optional
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat together the butter, both sugars, and the peanut butter until well combined. Add in the egg and vanilla and beat in until just combined. Add in the flour and salt, all at once, and beat in until just combined with no white streaks remaining.
Dump out the dough onto a well-floured surface, gathering up any loose pieces that fall away, and form into a disk. Separate the disk into two equal pieces.
Working with one half of the dough, roll out to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out 15 (or as many as you can fit) 2 3/4 to 3-inch circles with a cookie or biscuit cutter. Place the cut outs onto the parchment-lined cookie sheet, about 1 centimeter apart.
Bake for about 9-10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for five minutes, and then remove to a cooling rack.
Repeat the above process with the second half of the dough, this time cutting out a smaller hole in the center of the circle cutouts. Place the cutouts on the second lined cookie sheet and bake for 9-10 minutes.
When the cookies have completely cooled, put a one teaspoon dollop of grape jelly in the center of each of the whole cookies. For the cookies with the center cutout, sprinkle with powdered sugar (optional), and sandwich with the cookies topped with grape jelly.
*Cookies can be served immediately, but I think they actually get better after a day in an airtight container.
These cookies are quite delicious, almost impossible to stop eating (especially if served with milk!), and really do taste like a PB&J. Bonus: They look like they have little jewels in the middle! Happy National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day! P.S. If you're craving more peanut butter history, you can check out my previous post here.

Davenport Holds on for Second USA Nationals Win
It's the Blairsville, GA driver's eighth career World of Outlaws Victory
Posted on August 8, 2021 by Editor in Track Racing
NEW RICHMOND, WI (August 8, 2021) – Classic Rock band Guns N' Roses said it best, "All we need is just a little patience."
Jonathan Davenport stayed patient Saturday night, surviving a war of attrition to win the 34th annual USA Nationals at Cedar Lake Speedway. The Blairsville, GA driver found momentum on a Lap 89 restart, thundering to the bottom of the track, and muscling his way in front of Kyle Bronson to take the lead. From there, Davenport couldn't be touched, claiming the $50,000 prize for a second time.
"Superman" stated he needed things to break the right way to make his move past Bronson.
"If I could ever get a half-assed run on [Bronson], I was going to try and go ahead and slide him," Davenport said. "I knew I was just a little bit better off the cushion than he was, and he was pretty much married to it, and his quarter panel tore off.
"He did a hell of a job; I was just in the right place at the right time and just got to break his momentum."

Bronson looked like the man to beat for most of the race, leading more than 80 Laps. He powered past Ashton Winger on the cushion on a Lap 3 and pulled away. The Brandon, FL driver led until that Lap 89 restart when Davenport got by. Soon after, things went south as Bronson jumped the cushion, ending his night early.
"It's a mistake by my part, really, and it sucks, but that's the way it goes," Bronson said. "When [Davenport] got by me, I was just giving her all she got, and we pulled the left tire off the wheel."
Davenport's ascension toward the front showed off his ability to adapt from his 11th starting position. He picked off cars one by one before finally getting the shot at Bronson he needed to claim the victory.
"Depending on what car was in front of you was where you had to run," Davenport said. "I was trying to be really patient through the middle of the race, and I didn't know if I had that good of a car because there were times I couldn't keep up with the guy in front of me.
"I stayed patient and just wanted to have the best tires at the end."
Davenport wasn't the only driver who was patient throughout the 100-lap Morton Buildings Feature. Brandon Overton methodically worked his way into second in the end, taking advantage as cars in front had either flat tires or damage.
"There was a lot of guys in front of us that wasn't going to do too much giving," Overton said. "I kind of hovered around between the seventh and 10th spot the whole time and never could really get going.
"I just kept my car from getting as beat up as I could, and nobody hit me in the front end, and I was just lucky to run second."
Ashton Winger rounded out an all-Georgia podium one night after winning his second career Morton Buildings Feature.
The Senoia, GA driver faced some adversity on the way to a third-place finish.
"When I went to the top, I lost a mud cover, so the right rear was packed full of mud," Winger said. "We were vibrating our teeth out for 80 laps, but the car was good, and I think Davenport definitely should've won; he was just a little better than me."
Jason Feger passed more cars than anyone Saturday night, finishing fourth to earn the race's hard charger. Feger, from Bloomington, IL, had one of the tallest mountains to climb after starting 23rd.

"We had some luck, and it takes that, and people broke and had flats and stuff like that," Feger said. "Honestly, that's the best the car's felt all weekend."
Three-time and defending Series champion Brandon Sheppard rounded out the top five. Like Winger, Sheppard also dealt with adversity, battling back from a right rear flat tire on Lap 74.
The New Berlin, IL campaigner got up to second before he felt the tire starting to go down.
"Right off one of them cautions I started laying over really bad, and I didn't know if something was wrong with my car or if I had a tire going down," Sheppard said. "Sure enough, I had a tire going down, and it holstered me there."
Jonathan Davenport played his strategy to perfection for his eighth career World of Outlaws triumph. All "Superman" needed was a little patience to avoid problems that were his competitor's kryptonite.

Lobby intensifies as numbers remain tight
The Opposition has claimed it has a solid 55 members in camp – and are confident – while government has 54 MPs
THE Opposition has yet to announce a nominee for the prime minister's position as lobbying intensifies at both political camps.
The Opposition has claimed it has a solid 55 members in camp – and are confident – while government has 54 MPs.
The government group on retreat at the resort island of Loloata has gained one, with the defection of Kagua-Erave MP Wesley Raminai, who was rewarded with Minister assisting the Prime Minister on Sports.
Vanimo-Green MP and Opposition leader Belden Namah said with confidence that the new government is already formed.
The Opposition coalition party leaders have appointed the New Ireland Governor ment as the chairman of the ''Wutung Call to Action Manifesto'' that provides the solutions and the way forward to addressing some of the bad management the country is going through.
Mr Namah, in responding to the Prime Minister's call that the Crown camp has been holding MPs against their free-will, fired back, alleging the government hijacked an MP at his house using 11 police vehicles.
"They have locked up Nawaeb MP Kennedy Wenge on Loloata against his wishes. I do not have police vehicles outside Crown Hotel. He should ask himself – why?"
It is believed that Mr Raminai went home to sort out his family when he was confronted and taken out by two State Ministers under heavy police escort.
The Opposition coalition partners have also signed an memorandum of agreement (MoA) that was signed by all the breakaway party leaders in a commitment to remain to the course to change the Marape government.
The party leaders included United Labour Party's Sam Basil, National Alliance leader Patrick Pruaitch, People's Progress Party leader Sir Julius Chan, Our Development Party leader Charles Abel, People's Democratic Movement and Western Highlands Governor Paias Wingti, Mr Namah, People's National Congress Peter O'Neill and James Donald of the PNG Party.

Remember When 'CSI: Miami' Shouted Out Fall River?
The chances of a national TV series shouting out a local SouthCoast city are rare, but low and behold, the impossible happened.
If you were not a die-hard fan of CSI: Miami, then perhaps you missed the episode where Agent Tim Speedle mentions Fall River, Massachusetts. If so, I have the recap so you can relive those epic moments of local glory.
In Season 02, Episode 18 titled "Wannabe," a young man by the character name "Wally" is an impostor CSI agent who collects weird knick-knacks that were (supposedly) used in murder cases or crime scenes.
What a win for Fall River! I mean, the ax murders of Lizzie Borden are historical, it's no wonder that in an episode such as this, she got a shout-out.
The EPISODE first aired back on March 22, 2004, but continues to come back around in rotation. CSI: Miami ended its 10-year run in 2012, with a total of 232 episodes.
Click HERE for the complete written script of the episode or WATCH HERE for the full episode. The scene takes place between the 21:40 - 22:00 minute mark.

Q: Issue with subviews overlapping I'm trying to create a custom view which containes several images. I do that by adding them programmatically. The problem is that those subviews overlap each other and I can't find the way to change that. The only solution I can see is doing something like setting frames for each new image programmatically. I would be grateful if someone could tell me what is the best way to solve this issue.
for (id image in self.images) {
    UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];
    [self.imageViews addObject:imageView];
    [self addSubview:imageView];
}

A: If you wanna make your customView like UICollectionView you need a UIScrollView and add your subviews in it. Everytime when you add a subview change frame location so it could be something like this:
int xPosition = 0;
int yPosition =0;
for (id image in self.images) {

    if (xPosition>self.view.frame.size.width) {
        //give size to every imageView and every time in loop change the location
        UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(xPosition, yPosition, 50, 50)];
        imageView.image = image;
        yPosition = yPosition + 50;
        [self.view addSubView:imageView];
    }
    else {
        UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(xPosition, yPosition, 50, 50)];
        imageView.image = image;
        xPosition = xPosition + 50;
        [self.view addSubView:imageView];

    }

}

A: Without using Interface Builder your only real options are to change the frame or the center.
imageView.frame = CGRectMake(x coord, y coord, width, height);

This method lets you resize and move whereas changing the center lets you do just that, move the center of the view.
or
imageView.center = CGPointMake(x coord, y coord);

Or as recommended add constraints.


The Police Nationale at the Bastille Day 2013 military parade.
In France the Police Nationale (in English language national police) is the state component of public safety. In contrast to the Gendarmerie Nationale personal are all civilian functionnaries of the state. The Police Nationale has several very different sub-directorates, each responsible for specific missions. In 2014 more than 143 500 peoples were members of the Police Nationale.
In France the Police Nationale is responsible of many missions. The first and perhaps the most important is, in French language sécurité des personnes et des biens. It translation is safety of persons and property. This is the true role of each French police officer. Like many other police services in the world the Police Nationale has many other missions : counter-terrorism, fight against illegal drug trade, riot operations, and sometime SAR missions on the French beaches and mountains, especially in the Alps.
The main directions of the Police Nationale are headquartered in Paris.
Police officer of the Sécurité Publique in Strasbourg.
The Sécurité Publique (in English language Public Security) is responsible of all missions of police on the French territory. For each French department, there is a departmental office. Also for Corsica and overseas departments of France. The majority of police officers conduct their mission in uniform. However, some units have the ability to act in civilian clothes, they are called BAC, for Brigade Anti-Criminalité.
It's the branch of the Police Nationale in charge of the fight against illegal immigration. The Police aux Frontières or PAF (in English language Border Police) is present in all French airports, important railway stations, and harbours. The PAF is also present for the security of the famous Channel Tunnel.
Police officers of the CRS in operation.
The Compagnie Républicaine de Sécurité, or CRS, is one of the famous direction of the Police Nationale. It's the riot unit. It's also the police directorate in charge of beaches and mountains SAR. Finally, the CRS are involved in the fight against road crime, on French motorways.
The Police Judicaire, or PJ, is in charge of criminal investigations. The Police Judiciaire (in English language Judicial Police) tasks range from research of the perpetrators of murders, rapes and robberies in the counter-terrorism. It is also in charge of the scientific police.
The Service de la Protection, or SDLP, is the service of official bodyguards. The SDLP (or in English language Protection Service) is in charge of security of heads of state of the French Republic. In 2015 President of the French Republic François Hollande, French Prime minister Manuel Valls and all ministers are under protection of SDLP police officer. Some foreign ambassadors, like ambassador of United Kingdom, USA, or Israel are also under protection when they are in France.
Citroën Berlingo of the Police Nationale in Nancy.
The RAID (acronym for Recherche, Assistance, Intervention, Dissuasion) is the special unit of the Police Nationale. Made famous in 1993 by a hostage-taking at a school in Neuilly-sur-Seine, it is the elite unit of the Police Nationale. Its members are almost all snipers. In January 2015 the RAID participated in the hunt for terrorists responsible for the attack against the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo and the murder of a young policewoman. They led an assault against one of the terrorists holed up in a kosher store in Vincennes, releasing all hostages unharmed.
If the Police National has not helicopter it has many cars, vans, motorbikes, boats and special vehicles. When police officers need to use an helicopter, they call the Sécurité Civile and their red and yellow Eurocopter EC145. Cars of the Police Nationale are made by Citroën, Dacia, Ford, Peugeot, and Renault. Motorbikes are BMW and Yamaha.
