The MY17 model is also guaranteed to turn heads in three striking new colour schemes.
The original 750cc Supersports bike on the market, the GSX-R750 continues a legacy dating back to the models ground-breaking launch in 1985, where it took race replica motorcycles to a whole new level.

Around 140,000 Australians live with type 1 diabetes. Six new cases are diagnosed each day, many of them in children. The condition is difficult to control and as a result patients may suffer devastating consequences, including accelerated cardiovascular disease, kidney and eye problems, and even premature death.
People with type 1 diabetes lack insulin, the hormone that regulates the body's use of glucose. Insulin is produced by beta cells in the pancreas, which are contained within small clumps of cells called islets. In type 1 diabetes, beta cells are mistakenly attacked and destroyed by the body's own immune system. Without the ability to produce insulin, people with type 1 diabetes are dependent on insulin injections to regulate their blood sugar levels.
Researchers at SVI are dedicated to finding effective prevention and treatment strategies for type 1 diabetes. Research at SVI incorporates basic and clinical studies, using both mouse and human cells to study the causes and mechanisms of the disease, as well as exploring new treatment options.
SVI is intimately involved in the Australian Islet Transplant Program, in which people with uncontrollable diabetes are transplanted with human islets. The Victorian arm of the Program, led by SVI, has resulted in 42 diabetic patients being receiving transplants to date.

Hearts manager Craig Levein today declared himself pleased with teenage winger Callumn Morrison's progress in his breakthrough season.
The 19-year-old has made 36 appearances this term to become an established member of Levein's first-team squad. He withdrew from the Scotland Under-21 squad for personal reasons last week but will remain an important player for Hearts as a critical period of the campaign approaches.
The Edinburgh club are pursuing a Scottish Cup final place and hope to reach the Europa League qualifying rounds this summer.
Levein explained that he expects Morrison to improve further over the coming months.
Morrison will continue having a knee issue managed until the summer but is not suffering any undue pain at the moment. "It's an ongoing problem and he will get something done about that in the summer. If he requires surgery then he will get it," said Levein.

California port builds $54 million tsunami-resistant harbor
Crescent City's lighthouse overlooking Battery Point
Port officials from the California coast town of Crescent City are spending $54 million to build the West Coast's first harbor able to withstand the toughest tsunamis, the Associated Press reported.
The funding for the new structure was spurred by a tsunami that hit the California coast in 2011. Sparked by a Japanese earthquake, the tsunami sank 11 boats in Crescent City, damaging 47 others and destroying two-thirds of the harbor's docks. It's the kind of tsunami thatstrikes approximately every 50 years.
Upon deciding a tidal gate would prove too costly, officals decided on a dock that could withstand the massive waves of a tsunami. The new harbor will feature 244 new steel pilings at 30 inches in diameter and 70 feet long, a 16-foot-long and 8-foot-deep dock near the entrance to dampen incoming waves and pilings extended 18 feet above the water to prevent surges 7 ½ feet up and 7 ½ feet down from ripping docks loose. At least 30 feet of the structure will be sunk into bedrock.
Although Crescent City wasn't the only port to be struck by the tsunami in March 2011 — Santa Cruz, California, and Brookings, Oregon, incurred damage as well — it took the hardest hit. Crescent City is often the hardest hit and sees more tsunamis than other coastal cities.
The port still has some construction setbacks to overcome such as funding and a broken custom-built drill bit. However, once the delays have passed, construction of the tsunami-resistant harbor will likely be in full-swing.

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden condemned on Thursday an arson incident at a Jewish institution in his home state of Delaware.
In a tweet referring to the fire earlier this week at Chabad Center for Jewish Life at the University of Delaware, the former vice president said, "This news is deeply disturbing ‐‐ as an alum of @UDelaware and as an American. We need a full and swift investigation into what happened Tuesday night."
"With anti-Semitism on the rise across the country, we all have a moral obligation to speak out and give hate no safe harbor," he added.

A GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for rebuilding the heavily‐damaged center reached $300,000 on Friday morning, with more than 6,000 donors participating.
Jerry Clifton ‐‐ the mayor of Newark, the city where the University of Delaware is located ‐‐ stated on Thursday, "It is heartbreaking to learn the fire at the Chabad Center was set intentionally. This is a sickening act of hostility that threatens the safety and security of our inclusive, welcoming neighborhoods."
"My thoughts are with the Jewish community and those affected by this tragedy," Clifton added. "I have faith that the Newark Police Department and partner agencies will work tirelessly to identify the individual or individuals responsible and bring them to justice."
Anti‐Defamation League (ADL) CEO Jonathan Greenblatt tweeted on Thursday, "Incredibly upsetting to see the fire at @UDelaware Chabad was set intentionally. Appreciate the university's solidarity with Jewish students who come to #Chabad for a sense of unity & security. ADL is ready to help this investigation yield swift justice."

Creative writing programs in a university setting are nothing new in the US and Britain. But in Germany, the teaching of creative writing remains novel. An award-winning program in Leipzig is trying to change that.
"Speaking very generally, Germans tend to think of creative writing as something that cannot be taught - a matter of genius, independent of education," said Sebastian Herrmann from the University of Leipzig.
That historical belief may be why the German Creative Writing Program (DLL) at the University of Leipzig is unique in the country. It has been guiding students through the intricacies of writing literary texts since 1995.
From poems to novels to radio plays, graduates of the institute have written it all.
And written it well - they've got the publications and awards to prove it. Leipzig alumni have been awarded the nation's top literary accolades, including the German Book Prize and the Leipzig Book Fair's Prize. The institute itself was awarded the German Critics' Prize in 2005, a symbolic award intended to draw attention to an undiscovered cultural gem.
This reputation for excellence has likewise helped the institute draw a star faculty. Recent guest lecturers have included the Nobel Prize-winning author Herta Mueller ("The Appointment") and best-selling author and cultural critic Iliya Troyanov ("The Collector of Worlds"), among others.
As such, students do not only study literary history and theory, but also spend time in workshops, reading and editing texts of their own writing.
While the program in its current incarnation is still adolescent, the teaching of creative writing in Leipzig actually dates back to 1955, when communist East Germany established the Johannes R. Becher Institute and authors like the poet Georg Maurer began to lead "creative seminars."
Modeled originally on the Moscow-based Maxim Gorky Institute for Literature, founded in 1933, the East German institute sought to promote German literature and helped verse students in "social-realist" writing.
In addition to the obligatory study of Marxism and Leninism, the Leipzig Institute offered a wide variety of courses in arts and culture as a means of broadening the writers' horizons. To keep the writers from getting too caught up in the world of fiction and philosophy, they were regularly sent to work in the coalmines.
Nowadays, manual labor isn't part of the curriculum, but the demands are otherwise stiff. In addition to their coursework, Master's students are expected to turn in novel-length prose manuscripts at the end of their two years.
Students are also encouraged to take an active part in the literary community by giving public readings of their work. This publicity adds to the lively arts scene developing in the institute's host city, which is also home to the annual Leipzig Book Fair, held this year from March 18-21.
The DLL program has also helped to strengthened transatlantic ties for the university as a whole.
Separate from the DLL, the University of Leipzig's American Studies Program was awarded the Picador Guest Professorship several years ago. Since then, the program has brought in a rotating cast of English-language writers to serve as both instructors of creative writing in English and as writers-in-residence.
The idea "was to provide students with a chance to work with 'practitioners' of literature," said Sebastian Herrmann, assistant lecturer at the American Studies Department.
Cooperation between the two institutes has allowed students in the DLL program to participate in the English-language creative writing classes as well. Catherine Chung, an American author who received the professorship in summer 2009, said she noticed at least one real difference in the classroom in Leipzig.
"In Leipzig, none of my creative writing students were taking the class for credit, and that was incredibly liberating in some ways, to remove the grading aspect from my relationship to my students," said Chung. "Without the grading, I could take for granted that the students were there to learn, and because they were genuinely interested in engaging in the readings and their own work. And while that's been true for the students I've taught in the US as well, there was something exhilarating about being able to assume that from the very first moment."
As with any institution, the DLL is not without its detractors, though. Critics throughout Germany have accused the program's participants of turning out what they call "institute prose," a consequence of studying instead of living outside the academy, where many authors find their inspiration.
"There is talk of works which are 'crafted with virtuosity but with scanty content,' works which hide their deficient experience of life behind well-oiled literary technique," said Josef Haslinger.
"That writing technique on its own doesn't equal good literature can be readily admitted," he continued. But, "we ought to be wary about prescribing what authors write about."
As Haslinger points out, even in its East German heyday, with authors toiling in the coalmines and in turn gaining "real-life" experience, the Leipzig Institute turned out a number of authors, each with his or her own writing style.
Despite all of the attention the program has received, the institute remains one-of-a-kind in Germany.
While the institute's Master's program is limited in size to just 20 students, the DLL has been receiving up to 600 applications each year. Perhaps creative writing can be taught after all.

The application of solar systems within the industry, can produce great benefits and facilitate, to a large extent, the process through which the elaboration of a product must pass.
With high performance solar collectors we can produce heat to temperatures that reach 300ºF with an optimal performance. For many of this industrial procedures we really need this temperatures, for example steam generation, washing, drying, sterilization, pasteurization, coloring, chemical treatments, and so on.
With high performance solar collectors can produce heat at temperatures reaching 150 º C with excellent performance. For many industrial processes need heat at high temperatures. Among these industrial processes can be found: the generation of steam, washing, drying, sterilization, pasteurization, heating cycles liquid baths for washing, dyeing, chemical treatment, heating, air drying phases, generation low pressure steam for various uses, and so on.
The production of cold through absorption machines and other solar heating equipment is another major field of applications, with the added advantage of the coincidence of peak demand with maximum insolation.
It is notable that there cocentración device that was originally created for use in fixed solar cookers in developing countries, but because of its high technology, combined with a simple construction, few public plans and high throughput, is spreading like steam generation technology for industrial processes. This is called solar thermal concentrator Schffler.
Industrial solar systems can be used in industry to get 100% of energy from the sun, as in the case of Scheffler, or to use free energy from the sun to preheat and save on energy costs for the company.
The percentage of energy demand as heat in the range of mean temperature (60 º C - 150 º C) and medium - high (150 º C - 250 º C) is high in the food, paper, textile and chemical industries. These industries, for more than 50% of the total process require temperatures of 200 º C.
Paper and food industries are working with higher temperatures.
The food, textile and chemical workers with temperatures between 100 and 200 ° C, and used for applications as diverse as drying, cooking, cleaning, extraction and many others.

The tickle of sand on the bottom of bare feet... the taste of salt from a spray of water... the rumble-roar as waves come ashore. These are just a few of the many sensory experiences a day at the beach can bring. S is for Sea Glass: A Beach Alphabet uses a variety of poetry forms such as free verse, haiku, and ode in this celebration of the beach and seaside life. From a walk down the boardwalk to collecting sea glass to imagining the life of a shell's former occupant, poet Richard Michelson reminds beach-lovers of all ages the many reasons why we're drawn to the shore.

School Library Journal - S is for Sea Glass
Reviewed on 31 July 2014
Every small publisher needs a staple. Something to keep them going through hard times. Years ago Sleeping Bear Press hit on the notion of writing books with the [letter] is for [word] format and they've kept up this abecedarian staple ever since. These are books that are fairly easy to dismiss, sight unseen. You assume you know what to expect. Never mind that they've a range of different subjects, authors, and illustrators. For the picture book snob, one glance at the title and you're immediately dismissive. You think you know what to expect. And of course by "you" I really mean "me". It was the fact that S is for Sea Glass was written by Richard Michelson that gave me pause. No fly-by-night poet he, I sat down with the book and was happy to find that my expectations weren't just met but greatly exceeded. Chalk that up to my own personal prejudices then. In this book Michelson and artist Doris Ettlinger gracefully sit back and present to us a most thoughtful, meditative picture book on summer and sea and the relationship between the two. Absolutely lovely and original, this is a summer book of poetry worth remembering and revisiting year after year after year.
"A is for Angel" begins the book. Open it and here you'll see a girl on her back in the sand. She swings her arms and legs up and down "Like I'm opening and closing a fairy-tale gate" creating sand angels behind her. Welcome to summer. To beaches and tides and those elements of the season a kid can't wait to experience. Through poetry, Richard Michelson brings to life the little details that make a summer come alive. From doomed sand castles to morally superior seagulls to the child that dreams of someday living in a lighthouse so they'd never have to leave, Michelson places a good, firm finger on the pulse of the warmer months. Artist Doris Ettlinger accompanies him and brings to life not just the obvious moments of summertime but some of the softer more esoteric feelings conjured up by Michelson's words. The result is a book that will almost smell to you of brine and surf, even in the coldest, frozen depths of the winter.
What is the moment when a book flips that switch in your brain from "like" to "love"? It's different for everyone. For some it might be a word or a phrase. For others a haunting image or illustration that conjures up a personal memory. In the case of S is for Sea Glass it was the poem "H is for Horizon". It's not out-and-out saying you need to contemplate the nature of infinity but it might well be suggesting it. After all, is there any point on the beach so wrought with possibility and promise? As Michelson writes, "If I travel the world or stay here on this beach, / The horizon will always be just beyond reach. / But it's real as my dreams and it's always nearby – / That magical line where the sea meets the sky." Inculcating a kid in poetry that's fun because the language is fun is as easy as the next Shel Silverstein poem. Inculcating a kid in poetry that's fun because it expands your horizons (pun intended) and lets your mind wander free is much harder. Michelson manages it here.
The nice thing about the poems is that they aren't the usual beach fare. Sure you'll find the standard "O is for Ocean" or "W is for Wave" but Michelson has an impish quality to his selections. "E is for Empty Shells" isn't just about the shells you find on the beach but also the fact that their innards have been consumed by YOU much of the time. "I is for Ice" isn't about the cubes in a glass on a hot day but rather the strange and startling beauty of a beach in the blustery depths of winter. Some of the poems will take some practice to read aloud, so parents be ready. "B is for Boardwalk" for example eschews the regular ABAB rhyme scheme for something a little more visually exciting. "D is for Dog" in contrast contains both hard and soft rhymes. There are poems with AABB rhymes and even haikus like the one in "P is for Pail". Michelson doesn't distinguish or label the different types of poetry found here, so in terms of curricular ties that feels like a lost opportunity.
It's always interesting to watch what a kid latches onto in a book like this. My 3-year-old has recently been on a beach books kick. We'd already exhausted Splash, Anna Hibiscus, Ladybug Girl at the Beach, Scaredy Squirrel at the Beach and many others when we came across S is for Sea Glass. My daughter enjoyed the poems, treating each one with equal interest, but the poem she kept going back to and appeared to be haunted by was "Q is for Quiet". I suspect this may have a lot to do with the image in that book which also appears on the back cover. In it, a girl sleeps, half her hair dark, the other silver white in the moonlight. As she dreams a shoal of fish swim about her across the star strewn sky. Many's the time we've read the book and just come to a dead stop at Q. No need to go further. She gets everything she needs out of this poem alone.
Credit where credit is due to artist Doris Ettlinger then. I was aware of Ms. Ettlinger's work thanks to books like The Orange Shoes (it tends to come up when patrons want picture books on class distinctions) and other books in the Sleeping Bear Press series. The sea appears to be particularly inspirational to Ms. Ettlinger, though. A strictly representational illustrator most of the time, here her watercolors find much to enjoy in the roaring pounding surf, the ice choked chill of a wintertime beach jaunt, the infinity of the deepest ocean, and that gray/brown gloomy beauty of a rained out beach. The "R is for Rain" sequence in particular is one of her loveliest. Credit too to "Y is for Year-Rounders" where seaside locals celebrate a town empty of tourists in the fall. In her version, Ettlinger conjures up a small town beach resort street at the end of the day, four family members and their dog just tiny black silhouettes against the blazing yellow of a setting sun.
When the weather warms and the leaves reappear on the trees, then it will be the time for families to pluck S is for Sea Glass from the topmost shelves of their bookcases for multiple reads by the seashore. We all do that, right? Keep our seasonal books apart from one another so that when the right time of year appears we've books ah-plenty to refer to? Well, if you haven't before I recommend you start now with this one. Parents buy summery beach titles for their kids regardless of the quality. All the more reason the care and attention paid to "S is for Sea Glass" impresses. There are books a parent does not wish to read 100 times over to their offspring and there are books they wish they could read even more. This book falls into the latter category. A treat for eye and ear alike.
Booklist Review - S is for Sea Glass
Reviewed on 1 January 2014
Michelson takes up the challenge of writing beach-related poetry for every letter of the alphabet, with
topics such as flip-flops, pails, and waves. While most of the poems take place in summer, in "I Is for Ice,"
a child in a snowsuit visits a familiar beach in winter and finds it utterly strange, "like a magical ice castle
floor." One or two poems appear on each double-page spread, accompanied by a pleasant watercolor
illustration. Reflecting the words and tone of the verse, the pictures create varied effects within the
seemingly similar setting. Offering a view of the beach from overhead, the picture for "U Is for Umbrella"
shows a colorful garden of patterned beach umbrellas. Ettlinger's paintings of animals (dogs, gulls, crabs)
are particularly well drawn. A nicely illustrated collection of beach poems accessible to primary-grade

Betty True, 85, has become a certified celebrity thanks to her "risqué" antics at a Los Angeles Dodgers game last month. And it's clear the Dodgers superfan is taking her new fame in stride with a wonderful sense of humor.
True, now famously known as Rally Granny — a moniker bestowed upon her by Dodgers rookie Cody Bellinger — was caught on the Dodgers Stadium video board flashing the crowd — well, briefly lifting her Dodger Blue shirt and exposing her brassiere — much to the delight of the fans in attendance at the July 8 game.
Of course, footage of Rally Granny's daring demonstration hit the Internet.
And the rest, as they say, is history. And True has since showcased her delightful "devil may-care" outlook on life in a fascinating column from The Los Angeles Times' Bill Plaschke.
"I'd already been on the camera earlier and all I got to do is raise my arms and show my underarm dangle," True said of her outrageous performance, via a video posted in the column. "And by golly when they locked in on me again I thought, 'Well this is the time to show my cruising moves,' which is a bunch of bumping and grinding, and that's all I know how to do. I can't dance worth a damn.
At the time of the column, the Dodgers had posted a 21-3 record since Rally Granny's celebrated antics.
True apparently has toned down her act just a bit since her much ballyhooed Dodger Stadium debut. She apparently teased the crowd at a recent Dodgers game with a repeat performance. Only this time, when she lifted her shirt — which bore her "Rally Granny" moniker — a Dodgers shirt lied beneath.
To say the least. Rally Granny, everyone.

NBA virus numbers still rising, expanded testing begins
by: TIM REYNOLDS, Associated Press

The way Miami's Caleb Martin sees things, he's lucky.
He just missed seven games while completing the NBA's health and safety protocols related to the coronavirus, the worst of his symptoms being a couple days of fatigue. And when looking at the still-rising numbers of positive tests around the league right now, Martin offered a stark assessment.
"It almost seems it's inevitable," Martin said.
The numbers in the NBA indeed keep getting higher and may continue that way for the foreseeable future. Expanded testing, agreed to earlier this month, went into place Sunday for players who have yet to receive their booster shots. The new testing plan is expected to remain in place until Jan. 8, after weeks of urging by the league and the National Basketball Players Association for players to get boosted.
By early Sunday evening, the numbers of players known to be in the protocols was up to 116 — and probably slightly higher, considering some teams had yet to update injury reports. Numbers can fluctuate quickly as players test in and out, and being on the protocols list does not always mean someone has tested positive.
"I think any logical person would worry how far is this going to go, and there's a couple teams that have quite a few people in the protocols. … You don't know where it's going to go," San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said.
Almost all NBA teams are dealing with at least one known case of virus-related issues now, and some teams are down to mere skeletons of what an NBA team should look like. Toronto played Cleveland on Sunday with eight players, four of them hardship signings brought on because 10 Raptors are currently in the protocols.
"Shoutout all the guys filling in to keep this season going — from unknown guys to the vets," Raptors guard Fred VanVleet, one of the sidelined Toronto players, tweeted.
Here's what the Orlando injury report looked like on Sunday: Six players out because of virus-related problems, another sidelined while he completes the process of getting cleared from a protocols stint, and another six players out with injuries.
Yes, that's 13 players — from one team.
"You expect the unexpected," Magic coach Jamahl Mosley said.
Golden State's Draymond Green was the latest big name added to the protocols list on Sunday, less than 24 hours after the Warriors beat Phoenix in what was the best game on the league's five-game Christmas lineup and probably one of the more anticipated games so far this season.
"This is the reality of this association right now," Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said.
Spoelstra was missing, among others, point guard Kyle Lowry, head athletic trainer Jay Sabol and assistant coaches Chris Quinn and Caron Butler on Sunday. Quinn was at the arena — just not in the arena. He was waiting in a parking garage, watching a stream of the game, hoping a confusing testing situation got cleared up in time for him to go to work.
It didn't.
Quinn probably could have coached Sunday and been fine, and Lowry told Spoelstra he felt like he could play. But Spoelstra said there's a far bigger point in the ongoing fight with the virus.
"This virus is so complex that it really isn't about us," Spoelstra said. "And then now you're dealing with the complexity of this new variant and if you've been fully vaccinated and have a booster shot and you feel fine … then hopefully your return to play or return to work as a staff member can be quicker."
Talks between the NBA and the NBPA have been going on for several days about a potential shortening of the return-to-play protocols, though nothing has been finalized.
The Raptors hadn't played for more than a week. But the schedule said they were playing Sunday, so they showed up to play on Sunday.
"We haven't done a thing since our last game," Raptors coach Nick Nurse said about 90 minutes before tip-off.
In Chicago, where the Bulls just had 10 players go through protocols and are now without coach Billy Donovan as he navigates them, it had been pointed out that Lonzo Ball was the lone player to appear in every game for the team so far this season.
That streak is about to end: Ball is one of three players on the latest list of Bulls in the protocols.
"Y'all jinxed me," Ball tweeted.
Memphis saw its protocols list grow to five on Sunday. San Antonio — one of the few teams that hadn't had a player in protocols of late — had its run of luck on that front end when Dejounte Murray was added to the list, and Atlanta added John Collins to its already-jammed list, now up to 10 players.
"It's a crazy virus. It really is," Spoelstra said. "It just brings out the worst in people. It can happen. The league, they have to make really tough decisions right now. I don't envy what they're having to do, but organizations are having to make tough decisions daily. Same thing with the players association and staffs.
"We just have to stay the course. The business is still moving forward. It's thriving. Everyday life is still moving forward. But you have to have the appropriate level of precautions and awareness as well."

It's a great week for casting wishes and spells, says astrologer Yasmin Boland.
What would you say if I told you that today holds a special magic? Well, it really does – it's the new moon. Since it comes once a month, it might make you think it's nothing particularly special, but you'd be wrong.
There's a new breed of people emerging. People who know that we really do have the ability to shape our own lives. To do that, we have to take the opportunity to really work on ourselves. And the new moon is a good time to do it.
The new moon has also traditionally been the time to make wishes and even cast spells. As an astrologer, I don't cast spells per se. But it does make total sense that the new moon is the opportunity to start over.
So take time to get clarity on your wishes for the coming month – specifically, what's your number one goal in the next four weeks?
The new moon in Gemini will hit your chart in one place or another depending on your star sign (read your weekly stars for more info). Overall, though, be aware that one of the best uses of the Gemini new moon is to ditch any negative thought patterns for more positive ones, especially as they're related to love or money.

1,700 Clementi homes to be redeveloped en bloc
Thread: 1,700 Clementi homes to be redeveloped en bloc
Project, one of HDB's biggest under Sers scheme, will be completed by 2011
By Jessica Cheam
CLOSE to 1,700 households in Clementi have been selected for relocation in one of the Housing Board's largest redevelopment exercises.
Under the Selective En-bloc Redevelopment Scheme (Sers), households in the 30-year-old precinct at Clementi Avenue 1 will be relocated to a new site nearby.
The current site comprises eight blocks of flats, two rental blocks and some shops.
Apart from a Sers exercise in March last year which involved about 1,800 units, earlier exercises typically involved relocation of about 600 to 1,000 units.
The new estate, due for completion by the end of 2011, will feature a new park, and is situated near Clementi MRT station, bus interchange and town centre.
It is the 70th site since Sers was introduced in 1995.
The HDB will build 1,600 new two- to five-room replacement flats and eligible flat owners living in blocks 401 to 404, and 407 to 409, will be invited to pick their new flats in mid-2008.
Four of the 10 new blocks will be 40 storeys high, joining 22 similar HDB blocks now being built or already completed islandwide.
Under Sers, owners are compensated for their homes at the prevailing market rate, and also get a 20 per cent discount on their new flats.
They are assured of flats in the new site so they can choose to live with old neighbours again, or pick flats elsewhere.
The existing blocks will be torn down for residential development after the residents are relocated, the HDB said yesterday.
Among those affected are about 500 rental tenants in blocks 405 and 406 who will be given priority allocation of new flats at the replacement site, or alternative rental flats elsewhere.
About 500 one- and two-room rental flats will be built at the new site. Tenants eligible for the Public Rental Scheme will also get a $1,000 removal allowance.
Retiree Sia Soo Kee, 72, rents a one-room flat and has lived there for 23 years. He said he does not want to relocate for fear of losing his neighbours.
Shop owners in Block 407 had mixed reactions to the announcement.
Under Sers, shop owners will be compensated based on their property's market value and will be given priority allocation at the new site. Shop tenants will be given an ex gratia payment of $60,000 and a 10 percent discount if they bid successfully for HDB shops elsewhere.
Coffee-shop owner Phang Wei Lim, 40, said he paid a relatively high price of $690,000 for his shop and felt the HDB's compensation will not be enough.
But a provision shop owner who wanted to be known only as Mr Lim, who paid about $500,000 for his shop, welcomed the news.
'This estate is getting old and my shop is struggling to break even,' he said.
Mr Yap Hee Kwan, 67, is both an affected resident and shop owner. He runs a hair salon and provision shop with his wife.
He had mixed feelings about the move. He liked the idea of a new home but added: 'After living and working here for nearly 30 years, there are so many memories to leave behind.'

You can complete parts of each reward with any mech. It looks specific to a class but isn't, but such as components destroyed.
The rest builds up by itself.
Thanks for the event PGI. I completed all of them, but just a warning, the quality of quick play matches have really gone down and it gets frustrating at times. Take a 15 minute break and then come back and do the challenges.

just a warning, the quality of quick play matches have really gone down and it gets frustrating at times.
Let me guess, kamikaze teammates pushing into entire enemy teams on their own and into your field of fire trying to snag those kills?
yes, or everyone just stays under cover afraid to get their paint scratched. Then we get surrounded and die a gruesome death.
I just took a second look, and see what you mean. At least some of those indirect actions won't be so heavily problematic like I originally thought. However, there's still all those ones that remark of requiring a specific weight class (Kill/KMDD, Protected Weight, Kill Assist, and Victory)... That may be where I hit trouble if teams won't put on their proverbial 'Thinking Caps' and get things in gear. Thanks for making me take a second look, though!
Those do require a "Strike & Fade" twist in your own combat style to do well. Lights were absolutely never meant to facetank, right?
Thanks for the event PGI for the event. I completed all of them, but just a warning, the quality of quick play matches have really gone down and it gets frustrating at times. Take a 15 minute break and then come back and do the challenges.
Holy [MEGA-BLEEP]... You did this whole sheet of Challenges in a mere 5 Hours?!?!?!? I totally never have those kind of odds at Event Completion.
I'm gonna digress here, because I think that's not quite so necessary. On the other hand, the (C-Bills) Rewards could have stood to be double what they are, while still having the same (MC) & Cockpit Items, in order to better attract honest player effort, as well as fund Engine purchases a little more appropriately.
Hi, is there a glitch in the Assault portion of the event? I have 10/10 Saviour Kills and 1/5 Solo Kills, but the progress is 0%.
it's measured against the 1500dmg goal. 1 Dmg is equal to 1 saviour for the evaluation.
The 20 UAV detections is the the only one that makes me groan, I usually only get a few to count per match which makes it a real grind.
No, there does not happen to be a glitch. Have you piloted any Assault Mechs as of yet, in order to get Kill/KMDD or Damage or even a Victory? If not, you'll need to before a bit more shows up. Basically, you're only at "0.71% Complete" on that specific Challenge, from what little you're telling me. Read below on my reply to the other person to learn more!
...which then comes to '671 of 1536 Total', and happens to factor out to '~43.68% Complete' on that particular Challenge in the Event's Set. Ultimately, it's all measured in 'points of value, totaled within a whole', and so progression on ALL the parts is critical in order to complete each Challenge and see actual progress. I hope you find all this information useful, and hopefully this gives anyone else that's reading this a better insight into how Event Challenge Progression is calculated.
...and now here I go speeding off again!!!
EDIT (A tiny few minutes later) :: By the way, if a PGI Developer would be willing to stop by and give their two cents on my own findings here, it would be really appreciated. I think I've hit it on the head, though!
Edited by D V Devnull, 12 January 2019 - 09:52 AM.
Hey Dev, that's exactly how I meant it. Lazy wording on my part, most likely.
Took me 7 hours but mucking around with fits, grinding skillpoints and saving up mc for a future Hero thats not for sale yet. Thank PGI for event.
Could you maybe make one mission slightly harder, for people to grind for?
Edited by WiNNiep00h, 12 January 2019 - 06:06 PM.
No, there does not happen to be a glitch. Have you piloted any Assault Mechs as of yet, in order to get Kill/KMDD or Damage or even a Victory? If not, you'll need to before a bit more shows up. Basically, you're only at "0.71% Complete" on that specific Challenge, from what little you're telling me.
Thanks both. I dropped once in an Assault and it started to tick as per normal.
Thanks for the event . always appreciated.
Alright. Glad I was able to help. And don't worry, I know how the whole "didn't feel like doing a long answer" thing happens to feel.
Hey, any chance I could ask for a 'Like' on that earlier post for having expanded and elaborated on the matter?

Q: Retrieve date modified of a file from an FTP Server Building off of this question (Retrieve modified DateTime of a file from an FTP Server), it's clear how to get the date modified value.  However, the full date is not returned even though it's visible from the FTP site.
This shows how to get the date modified values for files at ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/
library(curl)
library(stringr)

con <- curl("ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/")
dat <- readLines(con)
close(con)

no_dirs <- grep("^d", dat, value=TRUE, invert=TRUE)
date_and_name <- sub("^[[:alnum:][:punct:][:blank:]]{43}", "", no_dirs)
dates <- sub('\\s[[:alpha:][:punct:][:alpha:]]+$', '', date_and_name)
dates
## [1]  "May 07  2015" "Apr 22 15:15" "Apr 22 10:00"

Some dates are in month/day/year format, others are in month/day/hour/minute format.
Looking at the FTP site, all dates in month/day/year hour/minutes/seconds format.

I assume it's got something to do with Unix format standards (explained in FTP details command doesn't seem to return the year the file was modified, is there a way around this?).  It would be nice to get the full date.

A: If you use download.file you get an html representation of the directory which you can parse with the xml2 package.
read_ftp <- function(url)
{
  tmp <- tempfile()
  download.file(url, tmp, quiet = TRUE)
  html <- xml2::read_html(readChar(tmp, 1e6))
  file.remove(tmp)
  lines <- strsplit(xml2::xml_text(html), "[\n\r]+")[[1]]
  lines <- grep("(\\d{2}/){2}\\d{4}", lines, value = TRUE)
  result <- read.table(text = lines, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
  setNames(result, c("Date", "Time", "Size", "File"))
}

Which allows you to just do this:
read_ftp("ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/")
#>         Date    Time      Size        File
#> 1 05/07/2015 12:00AM     4,259  README.TXT
#> 2 04/22/2020 08:00PM        35   TIMESTAMP
#> 3 04/22/2020 08:00PM Directory development
#> 4 04/22/2020 10:00AM     2,325   dir.sizes
#> 5 11/12/2017 12:00AM Directory         doc
#> 6 11/12/2017 12:00AM Directory       ports

What Is Betrayal?
Types of Betrayal
Should You End the Relationship?
How to Cope With Feelings of Betrayal
Betrayal in personal relationships refers to the violation of your trust by someone close to you.
The betrayal could be your partner's infidelity or it could be your best friend's dropping you for a new friend. You might also feel betrayed if your significant other didn't defend you in an argument with others. Or maybe your best friend didn't reach out to you when they knew you were feeling down.
Feeling betrayed can lead to a flurry of complex emotions and they may feel difficult to manage. This article discusses the types of betrayal, how to decide if you should end the relationship, and how to cope with feelings of betrayal.
Betrayal can occur in any type of relationship. It can occur between romantic partners, friends, and family members. Some people may also feel betrayed by larger institutions like the government or the healthcare system. Despite the many forms of betrayal, this article will focus on betrayal in personal relationships.
Romantic Partner Betrayal
It is painful when your significant other does something to hurt you. Their action likely will make you feel vulnerable as you counted on that person to be there for you. When people experience a betrayal, common reactions include lashing out in anger, self-blaming, a loss of confidence and withdrawal.
Betrayal Trauma
A scientific study looked into the aftermath of intimate betrayals and the result scientists found they called betrayal trauma. A romantic partner's betrayal is deemed to be a form of interpersonal trauma. The effects of your partner's actions are clinically significant, too.
Between 30% and 60% of those who experienced romantic betrayal showed symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression and anxiety. Betrayal trauma can also affect self-esteem, lead to distrust in relationships and mental health challenges.
If your partner cheated on you, abused you, or ghosted you, you may feel betrayed. You might also feel betrayed if they don't prioritize you or you find that they're repeatedly unreliable.
Friendship Betrayal
Friends are important to have for our physical and mental health. For example, their caring can reduce your stress levels and gives you a sense of belonging.
When a friend crosses the line, their betrayal can be devastating. So, it makes sense that a person might not be as open to future friendships after such a hurt.
Miriam Kirmayer, a clinical psychologist and one of the only licensed psychologists who specializes in friendship therapy, posits that good friendships help us feel supported and deserving of meaningful connections.
Maybe your parents are going through a divorce, or you're going through a rough breakup or maybe you're experiencing grief after losing someone close to you. In these situations, you'll expect that your closest friends will be there for you. If they fail to do, you might feel betrayed, especially if you've always been there for them.
Family Betrayal
Family love is the foundation for your secure attachments. For infants and young children who rely on caregivers emotionally and physically, a lack of care can be a form of betrayal. Not having foundational nurturing can lead to long-term damage.
A recent study of adolescents with betrayal trauma identified that when a secure bond was broken, these children developed difficulties with emotion regulation. The study set up a stressful lab task between mothers and their children. Children who had betrayal trauma showed fewer positive communications and more aggressive behaviors than their peers who had nonbetrayal trauma.
Uninvolved parents who are grappling with substance abuse, alcoholism or mental health problems may end up neglecting their children. That lack of emotional responsiveness can have negative consequences for their children. If your sibling tattles on you and it gets you in major trouble, that too could be an example of a family-type betrayal.
As an adult, deciding to maintain a relationship after a betrayal or end it altogether is a decision only you can make. Your decision depends on the severity of the transgression, your desire or hesitation to forgive the person and other factors.
Questions to Ask Yourself Before Ending the Relationship
Ask yourself these questions to help you evaluate if you should end the relationship or not:
How much does your history together matter?
Have both of you changed or grown apart?
Is your loved one taking responsibility for their actions?
Is your loved one apologetic for the betrayal?
Is your loved one remorseful and willing to make amends?
Is your loved one willing to go to therapy to help mend the situation?
Are both of you committed to continuing the relationship?
Is your relationship beyond repair?
If you realize that you want to end the relationship, it is OK to do so. You shouldn't feel pressured to keep a relationship that doesn't bring you joy. However, if you do decide to repair the relationship, that is also OK as long as your personal safety isn't at risk.
In some cases, repairing the relationship could lead to a better and stronger relationship than the one you had before.
If you are having a tough time deciding whether you should end the relationship, reach out to other friends or family members for advice. You can also contact a relationship therapist as they provide you with an unbiased perspective of your situation.
While it's challenging to manage your feelings after a betrayal, how do you move on and heal?
Acknowledge the betrayal. The first step is to acknowledge the situation and that the betrayal happened. Go through the process to clarify and accept, rather than be in denial.
Sit with your feelings. It's perfectly reasonable to feel anger, disappointment, shame, or emotional pain. It's helpful to name your emotions, too. After all, an intimate bond has been broken so it's reasonable to feel these things. After a while, though, you shouldn't be immersed in negative feelings. That includes self-pity and regret.
Reflect on how your relationship was before the betrayal. Be honest with yourself. While what happened isn't your fault, did you inadvertently play a role or contribute in some way? This isn't about blaming yourself, but objectively looking at the big picture. Were you both moving in different directions anyway? Take a look at what the relationship provided you with. Did it add value or remove value from your life?
Consider taking a break. If you feel that the relationship is salvageable, you can decide to take a break from the person who betrayed you. This can help you gain more clarity about the situation. You can also use this time to set any boundaries and address what may need to change in the relationship.
Take time to grieve. Know that it's OK to grieve. The relationship is now changed whether you're seeking to repair it or let it go.
Practice self-compassion. Recognize your own bravery and that you discovered more about yourself and life. Betrayal can lead to growth, wisdom, and maturity.
"I Lost a Friend:" How to Cope With Losing a Friendship
If you're ruminating about the situation too much or your grieving interferes with your everyday activities, seek out the guidance of a mental health counselor. If you're in a relationship, you might choose couples therapy, but you can also go alone to a therapist in person or online. Therapists who specialize in trauma can help you heal from the betrayal as well. Professionals can help you cope with and get over the betrayal more easily than trying to do it on your own.

Opinion|Taking Back Hong Kong's Future

Taking Back Hong Kong's Future
By Joshua Wong Chi-Fung
HONG KONG — Tuesday night marked one month since the day Hong Kong's police attacked peaceful pro-democracy protesters with tear gas and pepper spray, inadvertently inspiring thousands more people to occupy the streets for the right to freely elect Hong Kong's leaders.
I was being detained by the police on that day, Sept. 28, for having participated in a student-led act of civil disobedience in front of the government's headquarters. I was held for 46 hours, cut off from the outside world. When I was released, I was deeply touched to see thousands of people in the streets, rallying for democracy. I knew then that the city had changed forever.
Since the return of Hong Kong to China in 1997, less than a year after I was born, the people of this city have muddled through with a political system that leaves power in the hands of the wealthy and the well-connected. Many of us, especially people of my generation, had hoped democratic change was finally coming after years of promises from Beijing that we would eventually have free elections. Instead, in late August, Beijing ruled that Hong Kong's oligarchy will remain in charge. Universal suffrage became a shattered dream.
But not for long. The thousands of protesters, most of them young, who continue to occupy main areas of the city are showing every day how political change will eventually come: through perseverance. Our peaceful democracy demonstration has demolished the myth that this is a city of people who care only about money. Hong Kongers want political reform. Hong Kongers want change.
My generation, the so-called post-90s generation that came of age after the territory was returned to China, would have the most to lose if Hong Kong were to become like just another mainland Chinese city, where information is not freely shared and the rule of law is ignored. We are angry and disappointed that Beijing and the local administration of Leung Chun-ying are trying to steal our future.
The post-90s generation is growing up in a vastly changed city from that of our parents and grandparents. Earlier generations, many of whom came here from mainland China, wanted one thing: a stable life. A secure job was always more important than politics. They worked hard and didn't ask for much more than some comfort and stability.
The people of my generation want more. In a world where ideas and ideals flow freely, we want what everybody else in an advanced society seems to have: a say in our future.
Our bleak economic situation contributes to our frustrations. Job prospects are depressing; rents and real estate are beyond most young people's means. The city's wealth gap is cavernous. My generation could be the first in Hong Kong to be worse off than our parents.
My parents are not political activists. But over the past few months, because of my prominent role in the protest movement, my family's home address has been disclosed online, and my parents have been harassed. Despite the aggravation, my parents respect my choice to participate in the demonstrations. They give me freedom to do what I believe is important.
Other young people are not so lucky. Many teenagers attend our protests without their parents' blessing. They return home to criticism for fighting for democracy, and many end up having to lie to their parents about how they are spending their evenings. I've heard stories of parents deleting contacts and social media exchanges from their teenage children's mobile phones to prevent them from joining activist groups.
My generation's political awakening has been simmering for years. Nearly five years ago, young people led protests against the wasteful construction of a new rail line connecting Hong Kong to mainland China. In 2011, many young people, myself included, organized to oppose a national education program of Chinese propaganda that Beijing tried to force on us. I was 14 at the time, and all I could think was that the leaders in Beijing have no right to brainwash us with their warped view of the world.
If there is anything positive about the central government's recent decision on universal suffrage, it's that we now know where we stand. Beijing claims to be giving us one person, one vote, but a plan in which only government-approved candidates can run for election does not equal universal suffrage. In choosing this route, Beijing has showed how it views the "one country, two systems" formula that has governed the city since 1997. To Beijing, "one country" comes first.
I believe the August decision and the Hong Kong police's strong reaction to the protesters — firing more than 80 canisters of tear gas into the crowds and using pepper spray and batons — was a turning point. The result is a whole generation has been turned from bystanders into activists. People have been forced to stand up and fight.
Today, there are many middle school students active in the pro-democracy movement: Students as young as 13 have boycotted classes, while teenagers of all ages have been staying overnight at the protest sites. They protest gracefully, despite being attacked by police and hired thugs.
Some people say that given the government's firm stance against genuine universal suffrage, our demands are impossible to achieve. But I believe activism is about making the impossible possible. Hong Kong's ruling class will eventually lose the hearts and minds of the people, and even the ability to govern, because they have lost a generation of youth.
In the future I may be arrested again and even sent to jail for my role in this movement. But I am prepared to pay that price if it will make Hong Kong a better and fairer place.
The protest movement may not ultimately bear fruit. But, if nothing else, it has delivered hope.
I would like to remind every member of the ruling class in Hong Kong: Today you are depriving us of our future, but the day will come when we decide your future. No matter what happens to the protest movement, we will reclaim the democracy that belongs to us, because time is on our side.

Article: Up and Comer Leader of the Year
Originally published in the Arizona Capitol Times
After leading the Goldwater Institute for 15 years, Darcy Olsen founded Generation Justice in 2017 to focus on abandoned, abused and trafficked children. Already, Generation Justice has proven to be quite adept at navigating the complicated waters of policymaking to get things done. This year, all but one member of the state's 90-member Legislature supported legislation the group was pushing to allow babies exposed to drugs and whose parent or parents have a chronic drug abuse problem to be adopted by their first birthday. Olsen argued in favor of the legislation by noting that foster kids who bounce from one foster home to another face numerous disadvantages, and that providing them with certainty sooner rather than later, such as via an adoption, are in their best interests. The group's notable success is unsurprising, given the kind of dedication Olsen showed while she was at the Goldwater Institute, where she led efforts to allow terminally ill patients to try drugs not yet approved for the market to save their lives. That legislation, which numerous states also adopted, is now a federal law.

It may be tempting for start-up businesses to work on their own branding and marketing materials rather than having them professionally designed, but this temptation can be deceptive. Creating quality branding is extremely time consuming, requiring a long process to take ideas from the drawing board to the finished designs. Additionally, designing a brand and marketing materials may well mean learning to use a whole new range of programs for designing and editing. For a start-up business, time is of the essence, and time spent figuring out Adobe Illustrator is time lost for promoting, networking, and building up an initial client base.
Furthermore, in today's fast moving world, having a strong brand from the start is essential to building and maintaining brand recognition – branding and marketing materials need to be memorable, cultivating a set of associations around a company that will be at the forefront of the mind of anybody who sees them. The quality of a brand's design is vital to the public image of the company; poor quality designs can damage this image, or lead to confusion about what a business does or represents.
As such, it's vital to get branding right from the beginning. It may be a cliché but first impressions really do count and the wrong design will damage the image of a start-up and in the longer term likely lead to less sales. This means that while a professional design may appear more costly for a new business than DIY branding and marketing materials, over time the opposite is often true.


When it comes to purchasing technology for schools and classrooms, there are so many choices out there it can seem impossible to know if you're really making the right decision for your staff and students' teaching and learning needs.

Q: Proof regarding homogeneous functions of degree $n$ If $f$ is homogeneous of degree $n$, show that $f_{x}(tx,ty) = t^{n-1}f_{x}(x,y)$.
My attempt at a solution:
Let $u = tx$ and $v = ty$.$$\frac{\partial f(u,v)}{\partial x} = \frac{\partial f(u,v)}{\partial u}\frac{\partial u}{\partial x} + \frac{\partial f(u,v)}{\partial v}\frac{\partial v}{\partial x}.$$ But $\frac{\partial u}{\partial x} = t$ and $\frac{\partial v}{\partial x} = 0.$ Hence,
        $$t\frac{\partial f(u,v)}{\partial u} = t^{n}f_{x}(x,y)$$ or $$\frac{\partial f(u,v)}{\partial u} = t^{n-1}f_{x}(x,y).$$ How do I get from the term on the left hand side to $\frac{\partial f(u,v)}{\partial x}$? Thank you in advance.

A: $\frac {\partial f(u,v)}{\partial u}$ means partial derivative with respect to the first variable, which is also denoted by $f_x(u,v)$. Here the subscript $x$ denotes that the partial derivative is with respect to the first variable $u=tx$ and not $x$ itself. So in our case $\frac {\partial f(u,v)}{\partial u}=f_x(u,v)=f_x(tx,ty)=t^{n-1}f_x(x,y)$ and you are already done.

Q: alignment arrows do not appear in relative layout of my android-studio i'm new to android and android studio and i'm trying to build a relative layout.
when i choose a relative layout and try to put a for example button inside the layout it sticks to the top left corner of the screen, and the arrows for aligning the element do not appear on the screen and all choosen elements stick together at the top left corner of the screen.
how do you think i can fix the problem??

A: Considering the picture, you cannot "align" elements in design editor using RelativeLayout.
Look, you are probably talking about ConstraintLayout.
With ConstraintLayout you can align elements and constrain elements where you need.
https://developer.android.com/training/constraint-layout Check out this tutorial.
And also, currently not many people use RelativeLayout as it a little bit complex, has more performance issues than ConstraintLayout.

My darling Tabitha is 14 years old today. It seems only a few years ago I held her in her tiny perfection on a cold prairie morning at the Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon.
Tabitha (age 9) in the Hawaiian Botanical Gardens–on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Tabitha is a girl full of surprises…amazing surprises. She has a fascinating, spacial/mathematical and creative brain. At age four she quickly recited the entire alphabet to me–backwards, starting with Z. I asked her where she learned to do that. She told me she just thought it up herself. She constantly surprises me with the most intricate, geometrical works of art she's created. If a secret code needs to be broken–send it to Tabs. She is also a kind, fun-loving, passionate, athletic marvel and I love her to bits and beyond.


Lithium aluminum hydride (or LAH) is an inorganic compound used as an important reducing agent.
Formula and structure: The chemical formula of lithium aluminum hydride is LiAlH4, and its molar mass is 37.95 g/mol. The chemical structure of LAH is shown below. It exists as a monoclinic crystalline solid, consisting of lithium cation (Li+) and the aluminum hydride anion (AlH4-), in which Al is covalently bonded to the four H atoms.
Physical properties: LAH is found as an odorless, greyish or white crystalline solid with a density of 0.97 g/mL, and a melting point of 150 °C. It is also available commercially as a dispersion in mineral oil to prevent its violent reaction with atmospheric moisture.
LAH is not very stable and it can decompose over time into Li3AlH6 and LiH, which eventually decompose into LiAl and H2. When heated, LAH decomposes quickly into these same components. LAH is a strong base and a powerful reducing agent. It is soluble in ether and tetrahydrofuran, but sparingly soluble in other organic solvents.
Uses: It is mainly used as a reducing agent in organic synthesis, and a reagent in the preparation of a variety of pharmaceuticals, organic chemicals and metal hydrides (such as NaH). It is also used as a polymerization catalyst and a propellant. It is considered as a potential hydrogen storage agent in fuel cells.
Health effects/safety hazards: LAH is very irritating to the eyes, skin, mucous membranes and respiratory system. The solid can cause severe eye and skin burns. It is very harmful by inhalation. Its violent reaction with water is also a safety hazard.

Police have arrested three men on suspicion of possession with intent to supply cannabis following a pursuit in the Dorking area last night (4 February).
Officers noticed a strong smell of cannabis as they passed a vehicle around 7.50pm on the Leatherhead Bypass.
The car, a grey Vauxhall Corsa, made off from police, and a pursuit was authorised.
The pursuit ended in Stane Street after the car sustained damage to a tyre. There were no injuries to any of the officers, members of the public or the suspects during the pursuit.
All three occupants, who were all from Leatherhead, were detained with the vehicle.
Following a search of the car, officers discovered a large quantity of cannabis, as well as cash and scales, and all three were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class B drugs.
A 16-year-old boy has been released on police bail and an 18-year-old man has been released under investigation.
A 20-year-old man was also arrested on suspicion of failing to stop for police and dangerous driving. He has been released under investigation.
If you have information about suspected drug dealing or crime in your area, please either contact Surrey Police via www.surrey.police.uk or by calling 101.
If you don't want to speak to Police, you can call the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555111. They never ask your name or trace your call and you could earn yourself a reward.
What are the signs of potential drug dealing?
- Lone/vulnerable neighbours suddenly having groups of young men living at their address.
- How many times you have seen them – is it always at the same time of day?
Don't put yourself at risk while gathering this information. Please always pass the information to the police and do not confront or approach suspected drug dealers.
