How Ironic! Airplane Thief 'The Barefoot Bandit's Prison Mentor Is A Project Manager For Boeing
By:jboon2013
Mar. 22 2013, Published 6:35 a.m. ET
World-famous airplane thief, the Barefoot Bandit, has found himself an unlikely mentor in prison – a project manager for Boeing, RadarOnline.com is reporting.
Colton Harris-Moore, 21, is serving a seven-year sentence in a Washington state prison following a sensational run from the law in stolen boats, cars and planes.
But that hasn't stopped Jonathan Standridge, 57, visiting the young criminal once a month in a Washington prison to help him through his rehabilitation.
"This is a young man that is fully engaged in the rehabilitation process that we in society ask of those folks who are in our prison system," Standridge told Associated Press.
Standridge, who drives two-hours from his lakeside home in the Seattle suburb of SeaTac to the correctional facility in Aberdeen, has taught Harris-Moore about aerospace design, and the pair chat about books and second chances.
However, the progress he has seen in Harris-Moore is threatened by new burglary and theft counts that could mean his keen student's jail sentence could be even longer.
The pair met in fortuitous circumstances. At last year's Seattle International Film Festival, Standridge met Lance Rosen, Harris-Moore's media attorney. After introducing themselves to one another, Rosen asked if Standridge would be interested in mentoring his client.

Standridge decided to send Harris-Moore a letter in prison. Harris-Moore wrote back, and from there a friendship began.
"The key ingredient I look for in something like this is somebody who has passion — passion for life, passion to move forward," Standridge said. "It immediately came off the pages of this first letter that we had a highly motivated young man who was looking to change his life."
Second chances is something Standridge knows very well. After admittedly wasting most of his 20s, he enlisted in the Navy in 1984.
At boot camp, he got caught with drugs and instead of sending him home, the Navy captain in charge of the base offered him a second chance — warning Standridge that he'd be following his career.
That spurned Standridge on to spend 7-years in the Navy, including four on the flight deck of the U.S.S. Constellation aircraft carrier and later project manager for Boeing, one of the world's most important aviation companies.
"Even today I think about it. Without that second chance, I would not be where I am today," he said. "That is what I'm passing on to Colt, the opportunity for that future.
"He is in a very good place. He likes where he's headed. He likes the person he has become," Standridge revealed.

Electronegativity is one of the most well-known models for explaining why chemical reactions occur. Used daily by chemists and materials researchers all over the world, the theory of electronegativity is used to describe how strongly different atoms attract electrons. In a new paper, researchers have redefined the concept with a more comprehensive electronegativity scale.
"A table of electronegativities is as handy to have as the Periodic Table – it tells you at glance how electrons shift when two or three elements come together in a compound. Our new electronegativity scale comes equally from theory and experiment and it covers just about all the elements with which chemists can play," said Nobel Laureate Roald Hoffmann, the Frank H.T. Rhodes Professor of Humane Letters Emeritus in the College of Arts and Sciences.
Electronegativity Seen as the Ground-State Average Valence Electron Binding Energy, published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, was co-authored by Hoffman, Martin Rahm, Chalmers University of Technology and Tao Zeng, Carleton University in Canada.
By using electronegativity scales, the approximate charge distribution in different molecules and materials can be predicted without needing to resort to complex quantum mechanical calculations or spectroscopic studies. This is vital for understanding all kinds of materials, as well as for designing new ones.
"We derived these values by combining experimental photoionization data with quantum mechanical calculations," said Rahm. "By and large, most elements relate to each other in the same way as in earlier scales. But the new definition has also led to some interesting changes where atoms have switched places in the order of electronegativity. Additionally, for some elements this is the first time their electronegativity has been calculated."
The new scale encompasses 96 elements, a marked increase from previous versions. The scale now runs from the first element, hydrogen, to the ninety-sixth, curium. Compared to earlier scales, oxygen and chromium have both been moved in the ranking, relative to elements closest to them in the periodic table.
The new scale's definition fits into a wider framework that can help explain what happens when chemical reactions are not controlled by electronegativity. In these reactions, which can be hard to understand using conventional chemical models, complex interactions between electrons are at work. What ultimately determines the outcomes of most chemical reactions is the change in total energy. In the new paper, the researchers offer an equation where the total energy of an atom can be described as the sum of two values. One is electronegativity, and the second is the average electron interaction. The magnitude and character of these values as they change over a reaction reveals the relative importance of electronegativity in influencing the chemical process.


The Whitehorse Dice Knights are providing a haven for roleplaying gamers who are "LFG" – or looking for group – in the Yukon's capital.
The Dice Knights are the brainchild of group organizers Eli Boivin, Siobhan McLeod and Travis Lohner, and they have booked time at the Whitehorse Public Library meeting room on the second Sunday each month for tabletop roleplaying game enthusiasts to gather and play with good old pen and paper.
The group started meeting this January and approximately 16 people attended their second session on February 11.
It may seem counterintuitive that in an age of computers and the connectivity of online games, when eSports athletes are making professional livings and World of Warcraft is so ingrained in pop culture that it inspired a major motion picture, that people would still look to gather around a table with pen, paper and dice – lots of dice – to play a game mostly powered by their imaginations.
But it's that community and old school tradition that players find appealing, McLeod explained.
"We are seeing both new and old players showing up to the sessions," she said. "It's great because you can make it whatever you want. And there's that nostalgia of gathering around a table with a group of people, and snacks and munchies to play the game.
The appeal of the tabletop is the lack of limits.
Most of the organizing group are veteran roleplayers, with years of experience. Boivin has been DMing for the longest of the three. A DM is like the referee who creates a world and guides players through it for the game.
Boivin is in his early 30s and started playing when he was "16 or so", consistently running campaigns during all of that time. Campaigns are the connected games that the players participate in, he explained. "A campaign is a self-contained story arc in a specific world," he said. "It's usually the same group of players, but not always the same group of characters. Sometimes, a player's character will die in the game and they can make a new one to rejoin.
For the purposes of the Sunday events the group has been running "one shots" that are shorter campaigns.
The group has focused on the traditional roleplaying system of Dungeons and Dragons, or D&D, in this case, a variation of it called Pathfinder.
Dungeons and Dragons was created by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson and first published rules in the 1970s through Tactical Studies Rules (TSR). A number of rules editions were developed over the next couple of decades, before the brand was purchase in 1997 by Wizards of the Coast, the publishers of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.
Wizards of the Coast revamped the design and have released three different versions of the game, but their third edition was released under an Open Game License that allowed third parties to develop their own games under the ruleset. Like any group of fans, there are disagreements on decisions that may have been made.
But the Open Game License has created flexibility in the roleplaying games marketplace.
McLeod and Lohner noted that the fifth edition is a good choice for new players or those who want a lighter rule load to manage.
The group plans to meet every second Sunday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Whitehorse Public Library into the summer. Anyone interested in learning more can check out the Whitehorse Dice Knights Facebook page, or email them at WhitehorseDiceKnights@gmail.com.
If the numbers of attendees continues at the current number or increases, the group may have to look at expanding. "We have a year booked of every second Sunday, but we weren't sure where it would stand," McLeod said. "If we keep growing, we may have to look at adding a second day.


A popular libertarian-leaning website that posts about free speech, liberty, criminal justice, the legal system, and related issues – Popehat – has picked up the cause of the Daily Iberian and a judge's ruling that directed the newspaper to delete a reader comment.
Last week, Popehat's Ken White addressed the original story – Louisiana Judge Issues Ludicrously Lawless Takedown Order To Newspaper.
This week, White wrote this: Prior Restraint of Daily Iberian More Outrageous Than We Feared.
A hearing is set for Friday, September 4, 9:30 AM, Ouachita Parish Courthouse, Courtroom Eight (fourth floor), in the lawsuit Palowski v Campbell.
This is the suit filed in late July that was amended to include several judges of the Fourth Judicial (Morehouse, Ouachita Parishes) District Court.
The plaintiffs in the suite have alleged that the judges engaged in a coverup of wrongdoing by court clerk Allyson Campbell.
Ad hoc Judge Jerome J. Barbera III, a retired judge from the 17th Judicial (Lafourche Parish) District will preside.
Lincoln Parish News Online will cover the hearing.
The Lincoln Parish School Board (LPSB) will meet Tuesday, September 1, Central Office, 410 South Farmerville Street.
At 5:30 PM, the Building and Grounds Committee will meet, and at 5:45 PM, the Finance Committee.
Next year's proposed budget will be considered in the finance committee.
At 6:00 PM, the full board will meet.
Among the reports to be heard is the personnel actions for the month.
It is certainly not news that Shreveporters pay by far the highest property taxes in Louisiana. It is news, though, that in 2008 some paid property taxes they did not owe.
Caddo Parish Fire District 5 – or, "CFD5" – did the taxing, creating for itself a $250,000 windfall.
Then, the District chose to keep the money.
After reviewing hundreds of public documents, and interviewing willing public officials, there is no evidence of an effort to identify and return the tax money to those who overpaid.
District officials were notably defensive about the matter. The Board blocked my attempt to first meet with the District chief, and obtaining related public documents was punted to its attorney.
That attorney's first letter (SEE here) sets out the Board's position: it could never figure out a way to return the money.
"Fire protection districts" like CFD5 provide their services to those who live outside the limits of municipalities that provide the same services. CFD5, as shown on its website, serves Dixie Garden, plus most of far Southeast Shreveport and Caddo.
By state law and Caddo Parish ordinance, these districts are legally established within parish governing bodies, meaning our Caddo Parish Commission. It appoints the volunteer members of each district's board, which then does the taxing and spending.
The District estimates its take from the 2008 over-taxation was $249,002, though no independent source made such a calculation. When the interest rate the District otherwise employs – 2.15% – is added for years 2009 through 2015, the total due to these taxpayers is $288,972.
The District erred in a key document it submitted for the Caddo Parish Tax Assessor in September 2008. This routine, annual Resolution by the Board directs the assessor to levy certain, variable property tax millages on those in its District.
… 4.65-mills for former CFD5 property annexed by Shreveport in or after 2008.
The Board's error was directing the assessor to tax all properties the full 5.65-mills for Debt Service.
Then, in the Board's March 12, 2009, meeting, accountant Agee "… explained the over-collection of millage … (which) has been put in a separate account." Attorney Jerry Jones "… recommended to the Board to work with the tax commission to pay the money back to the tax payers." That never happened.
Learning how and why repayment did not occur is made much more difficult by a scarcity of related public documents. Attorney Anna O'Neal notes, "… apart from the documents enclosed herewith as exhibits, the District's communications regarding (these issues) have been verbal." So much for transparency.
Thus, a debt owed to specific, wronged taxpayers, deliberately held a certain number of years, magically became "a contribution to CFD5 from taxpayers." 'Positively incredible!
What Help for Serially Abused Property Tax Payers?
Often mentioned in these documents is Caddo Parish Tax Assessor Charles Henington. When I spoke to him about repaying those over-taxed, Henington offered that "somebody like an abstractor" would need to do a record-by-record search among those in subject (annexation) areas of CFD5.
… why weren't the 2009 taxpayer identifications and tax categorizations then used to identify and pay back, or credit, the tax over-payers of 2008?
The Daily Iberian earlier this week deleted an anonymous comment after 16th Judicial (Franklin, New Iberia, St. Martinville Parishes) District Division G Judge Curtis Segur signed a temporary restraining order that directed the newspaper to censor it.
The action came as a result of a lawsuit filed by New Iberia attorney David Groner against the Iberian, complaining that the comment damaged his reputation.
Likely Groner's efforts to silence the newspaper have backfired, as the story has been carried in other newspapers and on TV.
It is settled law that courts cannot prohibit publication of comments or news, except in cases of national security. Judges can sometimes issue "gag orders" to protect a defendants right to a fair trial.
The legal precedent against "prior restraint" of speech was established in 1931 by the U. S. Supreme Court in Near v Minnesota, where a Minnesota mayor and police chief didn't like what a local newspaper wrote about them.
Most famously, this prohibition against censorship was upheld in New York Times v United States – The Pentagon Papers case – where the Nixon administration tried to prevent publication of the documents.
The newspaper's publisher said that they would appeal the judge's decision. Representing the Iberian is Baton Rouge attorney Scott Sternberg. LPNO readers will recognize that name from the case where Ouachita judges sued The Ouachita Citizen.
Here is The Ouachita Citizen's Zach Parker news story on last week's hearing in Fourth Judicial (Morehouse, Ouachita Parishes) District Court in Monroe.
Last night's meeting of the Monroe City Council began and ended with talk of problems with the buses of the Monroe Transit system.
District One's Ray Armstrong began by referring to a Monroe Free Press article that featured a bus that had caught fire.
Said Armstrong, "Apparently this bus was in operation, there were passengers on board that had to be evacuated." He added there were allegations in the news article about "half the buses not operational," and inadequate maintenance.
Armstrong asked that the Mayor look into the situation.
At the end of the meeting, citizen Jeannie Hanna said she was a regular user of the bus system, and had been keeping notes of what problems she had encountered.
Among the issues was inoperative wheelchair lift equipment, wiper blades, and "filthy buses," she said. "I wish Ken Booth was still around," she added.
She invited the council members to ride on the buses to see for themselves.
In regular business, the council unanimously approved a resolution authorizing additional design work for a pump station in the Winnsboro Road area.
District Four's Kenny Wilson said that since the floods on the Southside in 2011, these projects were very welcome.
The Monroe City Council will meet Tuesday, August 25, 6:00 PM, Monroe City Hall, 400 Lea Joyner Expressway.
Fourth Judicial (Morehouse, Ouachita Parishes) Division G Judge Carl Sharp said that fellow 4th JD Judge Sharon Marchman (Divsion B) "misremembered" when she said he had told her that an order to quash her subpoena to appear in court didn't apply to her.
The controversy erupted late this morning in the Monroe courtroom at the end of an hour-long hearing that was scheduled to determine whether Sharp should be recused in the case Palowsky v Cork, over which he is presiding.
In 2003, Sharp was suspended for sixty days by the Louisiana Supreme Court for failing to decide cases in a timely manner.
The plaintiff attorneys, Joseph Ward of Covington, and Sedrick Banks of Monroe had subpoenaed several judges from the court, along with two area lawyers, intending to put them on the stand under oath. The intent was to elicit testimony as to what court clerk Allyson Campbell did or didn't do, what the witnesses knew, and when they knew it.
Marchman said that she was "discharging her duty" to appear per the subpoena, and stood ready to testify, if she were called. She added that she and Sharp had a conversation yesterday where Sharp said she wasn't covered by the order.
Earlier in the hearing, Ward and Judge Sharp argued whether or not he (Sharp) should step down from the case, which was the reason for today's hearing.
Ward said that since Sharp was intimately involved in the investigation and alleged coverup of wrongdoing by Campbell, he should be nowhere near any of the related cases.
Sharp, who did most of the talking, tried to intimidate Ward, and threatened him with sanctions or a contempt citation for having the impertinence to subpoena a judge as a witness.
Ward didn't back down and said that if Sharp wanted to find him in contempt, that he would just have to serve the seven days in jail.
Sharp ruled that he was holding any decision on his recusal in abeyance, until another related lawsuit, Palowsky v Campbell was decided.
Ward said that he would immediately be appealing Sharp's order to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.
Notable in the court today were several local attorneys, a Louisiana State Police investigator, and an investigator with the Louisiana Inspector General's Office.
Several witnesses have been subpoenaed to appear for a hearing scheduled in Fourth Judicial (Morehouse, Ouachita Parishes) District Court in Monroe tomorrow morning.
According to a Johnny Gunter news story in the Ouachita Citizen, several judges and two local attorneys have been subpoenaed.
The hearing is on the underlying case in the controversy, Palowski v Cork.
Lincoln Parish News Online (LPNO) will cover tomorrow's hearing, set for 9:30 AM at the Ouachita Parish Court House.

You may have heard of The Bowery Mission in New York. Its roots lie in the American version of the British weekly, Christian Herald newspaper which was established in New York by Joseph Spurgeon, cousin of Charles Spurgeon, in 1878 and published continually until 1992 - some 3300 issues. Christian Herald developed beyond publishing to charitable enterprise meeting the needs of the suffering around the world. As part of this, in 1894, it established a winter Food Fund for the destitute in New York and a summer camp for children of families helped by the fund. It then took over The Bowery Mission, which had been started in 1879 but had run into financial difficulties. Since that time hundreds of thousands of people have been helped by the mission and many converted. Similar missions have been established around the globe.
In January 1994, The Bowery Mission Transitional Center opened its doors with an innovative 77-bed programme, funded by New York's Department of Homeless Services. The program quickly gained a reputation as one of the most effective substance abuse programs in New York City. In May 1995, Christian Herald, having disposed of its publishing interests, became one combined nonprofit corporation, focused on building the city's most effective compassionate care and life transformation organization for people in need. By 2000, Christian Herald's ministries were positioned to be self-supporting, supported by over 40,000 individuals, 200 major donors, 40 foundations, a dozen corporations and two government agencies. It is now one of New York's most respected and effective charities and, thanks to its generous friends, has grown to over 100 employees, thousands of volunteer hours and $15 million in combined revenue seeing lives changed in New York every week.
Homelessness brings a sense of loneliness that erodes the core of a person's self-value. When you are homeless, a simple smile and a word of kindness can make a big difference in a day full of hardship.Be sure to acknowledge the homeless you encounter in the street or tube. Say a simple hello. Talk to them and engage in a simple conversation. When you take your time to learn about your homeless neighbour, his or her story and family, you show them that you care. Above all, avoid stereotyping or stigmatizing the homeless. There are many paths that lead to homelessness, and each person has a different story.
Sometimes, the homeless just need help to get through the day. In general, it is better not to give cash away. So what if you want to help today? You can provide practical and immediate help; carry some granola bars with you - they are easy to keep in your pockets or bag, and provide energy and nutrition, besides food, a small bottle of water helps prevent dehydration, a common health concern for the homeless community.
However, always offer help first, rather than giving someone something they may not actually want or need. Many of those in need will be grateful for your offer of food or water. But you may also encounter someone who is having a really rough time and may be unable to appreciate your help. Please don't be discouraged. Just smile and keep on your way. You may find someone else to help.
Winter season feels extra-long when you are living on the streets or sleeping on the tube. There is a big risk of hypothermia just from staying outside for such long periods of time. You can provide protection from the cold weather without having to spend any additional money by; checking in your wardrobe for simple winter gear that you are not using anymore (or that you don't use that often): a pair of winter gloves, a scarf in a colour you don't like anymore, a knit hat. Instead of keeping these in your wardrobe, carry one at a time and give it away to someone you see living on the streets. And how about those winter boots you haven't worn in the past 2 years? Dust them off and give them to the homeless person you pass on your commute every morning.
Summer time is no different. A clean t-shirt does a lot for someone's spirits when you are outside in the sweltering heat. Being able to change to clean, fresh clothes helps lighten your day.
If you travel often, next time you stay in a hotel remember to grab the complimentary hand lotion and keep it in your pocket or bag. This lotion can help more than you think. Spending all day in the harsh winter cold can severely damage and dry out your skin.
However, once again, always offer help first, rather than giving someone something they may not actually want or need.
One of the biggest problems with homelessness is misunderstanding who are the homeless. Stereotypes and stigmatization make it hard for us to help others.
Learn about the different paths that lead to homelessness. Every person living on the streets has his or her own story. If you are able, share what you learn with your friends, family and colleagues. Have a blog? How about writing about what you learned about homelessness this month? If you volunteer and tell others about your experience with enthusiasm, you can help eliminate misconceptions and stereotypes.
Homelessness is very complex and, many times, generates vicious circles that are hard to break. However, there is hope. Find out where the local shelters/missions are and point them to those resources. What about creating a map card to hand out? What about providing them with a public transport card with 1 ride paid for to help them get there?
Remember, they may not take on your invitation right away, but it is good for them to know they have it available for when they are ready.
Finally, pray for them. You can pray by yourself, or with friends and family. Pray that their physical needs are met. But also pray for their emotional and spiritual needs. Pray that they find the motivation to join a recovery program and seek for the help they need.

UFC 213's Romero-Whittaker worthy of a belt
By Matt Parrino - UFC.com • May. 23, 2017
Michael Bisping is injured and Georges St-Pierre won't be ready to fight until November. The plan was for those two legends to face off in 2017 for the middleweight title, but time waits for no super fight.
UFC president Dana White announced that an interim middleweight title will be created while Bisping recovers. In the meantime, No. 1-ranked Yoel Romero and No. 3-ranked Robert Whittaker will vie for the interim strap in a high stakes co-main event at UFC 213.
The title hasn't been in play since October 2016, when Bisping defeated Dan Henderson to make his first title defense.
Romero has been on a mission ever since, campaigning for his title shot. "Soldier of God" picked up the signature win of his career last November when he finished former champion Chris Weidman in the UFC's debut at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
The former Olympic freestyle wrestler has never lost in the UFC, winning all eight of his Octagon appearances – six by knockout. Romero is the definitive No. 1 contender and finally gets his chance at UFC gold.
If not for Romero, Whittaker may be the hottest middleweight on the planet. "The Reaper" has won all six of his UFC fights since moving up to 185 pounds and is riding a seven-fight win streak of his own. Four of Whittaker's six wins at middleweight have ended by knockout.
Whittaker is coming off a division-altering performance. He stopped Jacare Souza in the second round of their Fight Night Kansas City fight in April. It was considered a serious upset, but Whittaker's rise through the ranks proves he's able to hang with the best in the division.
Romero vs. Whittaker may be for the interim title at UFC 213, but the winner will have a rightful claim as champion of the division and a crack at Bisping when he returns.

Q: (Browser-as-Client) HTTP 405 on $.ajax POST to a Node service BACKGROUND
First things first, I have a Restify service running on Node which is working perfectly when I use a GUI HTTP client. I only state the previous to highlight, that this is a browser-centric issue. And if a server-side solution is needed, it is to accomodate the browser...
Here are the 100% functional HTTP requests and responses using my Restify web service and a GUI HTTP client:
Request -
POST /appointments HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json
Host: localhost:8085
Connection: close
User-Agent: Paw/2.1.1 (Macintosh; OS X/10.10.1) GCDHTTPRequest

}

Response-

And more importantly, my server creates a future cron job, which can be seen in my server's console:
Created: Fri Dec 19 2014 14:55:00 GMT-0600 (CST)

THE PROBLEM
My problem is that I am trying to write a browser interface to my service. And I am getting an error when I try making the same HTTP request using Ajax. I created the following test function which makes the HTTP request:
function testPost() {
    var jsonBody = "{\"eventName\": \"Fiesta Forever\",\"time\": \"Fri Dec 19 2014 14:15:00 GMT-0600 (CST)\",\"phoneNumber\": \"13125555555\"}";

    $.ajax({
        url: 'http://localhost:8085/appointments',
        accepts: 'application/json',
        type: 'POST',
        data: jsonBody,
        contentType: 'application/json',
        crossDomain: true,
        headers: {
         "Access-Control-Allow-Origin":true
           }
    });

}

I then load my page containing that function in my iOS emulator, and call the function from the Safari Developer console. I receive the following error:

EDIT: Upon removing the request headers, I receive:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 406 (Not Acceptable)
SERVER-CODE
Here is the code on my server. I took the following code from the Express docs, because they were the only solution which actually seemed to add the correct headers to every response:
//CORS
server.use(function(req, res, next) {
    res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
    res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept");
    res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "POST, GET, OPTIONS");
    res.header("Access-Control-Max-Age", "1000");
    next();
});

Can anyone help me figure out how to make a cross domain HTTP request using $.ajax which carries and receives JSON?

A: First of all, Access-Control-Allow-Origin is a response header that has to be send by the server – sending it as a request header with the client request does not only not make sense, but seems to be what makes the server refuse your request here – because with Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept it told you what request headers it will accept, and Access-Control-Allow-Origin is not among those.
After that you got a 406 Not Acceptable, meaning the server did not see itself able to respond with data of a content type that was requested via the Accept header. So removing accepts: 'application/json' does make jQuery not tell the server any more that you expect a specific content type, but just "give me whatever you got" – which in this case seems to satisfy the server …
… and make it respond with Content-Type: application/json anyway, which is kinda weird, because that should be exactly what jQuery was asking for (and your first request via GUI showed as well). I don't know if jQuery makes something else out of that setting (you could try and see if your browser's developer tools network panel shows anything wrong with the request headers) … but problem solved, and that's what counts, right? :-)

Call for train companies to install more ticket machines at Liverpool Lime St as commuters miss trains
Wirral South MP Alison McGovern is supporting the bid

Liverpool's Lime Street station
Don't miss the biggest stories and breaking news with the Echo daily newsletter
Commuters are calling on train companies to install more ticket machines at Liverpool Lime St after huge queues have left people unable to catch their trains.
Wirral South MP Alison McGovern is supporting a bid to get more machines at the busy station, after getting caught in rush hour queues on her way to London this week.
She tweeted Virgin Trains, who have four ticket machines at Liverpool's biggest station, saying: "Morning @VirginTrains. MASSIVE queues for tickets at Lime St. Staff were ace but time for more ticket machines? Liverpool is a growing city!"
The MP told the ECHO the lack of facilities at the station is a "complete pain".
"When the timetable changed so that we had more trains and more seats on those trains that means there are a lot more passengers, we should have also got more machines," she said.
"Liverpool is a growing city and it just seems obvious that we have got to have more ticket stations if we've got more people travelling through the city."
The Bromborough-born shadow minister for children said when she was growing up more and more people started to travel outside of the city and the station needs to "adapt to the times".
Talking about her journey from her constituency to Westminster earlier this week she said: "I left plenty of time for my journey but the queues were enormous.
"Luckily the staff were really helpful and they stepped in as soon as they saw there was going to be a problem. But unless you have a flexible ticket, it's really easy to miss your train."
A passenger from Bootle missed his train to London because of queues on a Friday afternoon – well before rush hour had hit.
Paul McMahon, 38, said he always leaves himself plenty of time but the queues were "up to the doors."
The civil servant said: "I was panicking. Everyone in the queues was panicking saying they were going to miss their trains.
"I ended up having to buy a new ticket for £30 but that probably wouldn't have happened if there were more machines and smaller queues."
A spokeswoman for Virgin Trains confirmed the company would be investing in two more ticket machines and updating their current ones.
The spokeswoman said: "We plan to replace all of the machines and introduce two more, as part of an upgrade across the whole network.
"We are expecting them to be introduced by spring next year."
The spokeswoman said the company decides whether a passenger gets a free new ticket if they get stuck in a queue on a "case by case basis".
"The more time people can leave for their train, the better," she said.

Effective separation of palladium from simulated high level radioactive waste
Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry
Authors: Durga Parajuli, Koichi Hirota, and Noriaki Seko
Aiming the selective recovery of palladium from high level radioactive liquid waste (HLW), a chelating thiamide type sorbent, CWP–TU, was prepared by the modification of Japanese cedar wood powder (CWP). Convection oven and microwave heating were separately used for modification purpose and found that microwave heating is more effective over oven heating. CWP–TU was extensively studied for the adsorption of Pd(II) from nitric acid medium. The batch test showed that nitric acid concentration of 3 M or higher is favorable for Pd(II) loading. Consistent adsorption of Pd(II) under gamma irradiation condition demonstrated the feasibility of using CWP–TU in real HLW. Also, Pd(II) only adsorption from simulated HLW solution verified the palladium only selectivity of the sorbent as well as the lack of influence of coexisting metal ions on its affinity toward Pd(II). CWP–TU holds maximum Pd(II) loading capacities of 0.98 mol/kg at 30 °C and 1.04 mol/kg under gamma irradiation. A comparative study using some ion exchange resins revealed that the resins are either ineffective in nitrate medium or lack stability under irradiation.

VietNamNet Bridge – Though Viet Nam's famous traditional dress has taken many forms over the centuries, its allure and appeal has never died.
People all over Viet Nam are familiar with poems featuring the beauty of the country's national dress, the ao dai, its slim-fitting tunic with long side splits from the waist, worn over palazzo-style trousers. The traditional woman's dress has been mentioned in many poems, stories and songs for centuries.
"The fragrance of three regions, the fragrance of flesh.
The ao dai is considered by Westerners to be one of the most elegant and feminine national costumes in the world with its close-fitting bodice, free-flowing front and back panels, and long silk trousers.
It is a delicate and airy garment.
But many people are unaware that it has undergone many transformations over the years to reach its current form.
Its evolution dates back to the 19th century, when it was born from the ao uứ than (four-flap dress), a loose dress worn outside a white thin blouse over a halter, along with a fabric belt.
The Vietnamese at that time wanted to simplify it and joined the two narrow panels, setting the stage for the very first appearance of the modern ao dai.
In the 1930s, it was transformed into a gown with two elegant panels reaching to the ground, fitting the wearer's body by using pins and a nipped-in waist. It had a raglan sleeve based on Western fashion techniques, which eliminated the clumping of material under the arms of the ao dai, bringing it a step closer to its current form-fitting style.
Until 1958, the ao dai was a daily outfit in the North, but by that time, it had fallen out of fashion in the trendier South.
Tran Le Xuan, the wife of a brother of the former president of South Viet Nam Ngo Dinh Diem, infamously known as the "Dragon Lady", made a fashion statement by wearing an ao dai with a bateau neckline and snug upper body, influencing nearly all Southern women to wear the style.
The bateau style remained popular until the 60s when the hippie trend reached Sai Gon, and knee-length panels then became de rigueur.
Following reunification and post-war depression, fabric became more expensive, so women shifted to the ao ba ba, a simpler version of the ao dai with the flaps ending at the hipline and a front button used for access.
The ao dai was then relegated to use for special occasions and diplomatic events.
In recent years, artists and people who love the costume have managed to resurrect its use in daily life.
For three consecutive years, the southern commercial hub of HCM City, for example, has organised the ao dai festival to preserve national traditional culture and embed the national dress in the cultural and spiritual life of its citizens.
During this year's festival, which was held over one month, the city encouraged its residents to wear the ao dai every day.
"Vietnamese women should wear the ao dai at school and at work as well," Dang Thi Truc Linh, a senior at the HCM City University of Social Sciences and Humanities, said, while working as a volunteer at the opening ceremony of Ao Dai Festival 2016.
"Though these long, flowing panels are something of a hazard when riding a bicycle or sitting side-saddle on a motor scooter, the ao dai's advantages far outweigh its drawbacks as it helps to hide unshapely legs, thick ankles and knobby knees," Linh added.
However, Tran Thi Tu Uyen, a journalist at the Phap Luat newspaper, said that if the city requested every female official to wear ao dai to work, she would obey.
"But my career requires a more modern costume, like jeans," Uyen said.
"The plain white ao dai can be a common uniform in high schools as wearing it can teach students how to behave. It can impart modesty, caution and refinement.
Anh said that many competitions over the years have been held to choose the country's favourite national costume.
In an online discussion recently held by a local newspaper about whether female students at high schools should wear the ao dai, some readers said they were disappointed that uniforms had changed to shirts and skirts or a shirt and trousers in a variety of styles and colours.
Others said wearing the ao dai in hot weather causes difficulties for students. School uniforms should be aesthetically and climatically appropriate, and simple and cheap, help girls be comfortable while they study at school.
Ao dai can be worn on Mondays when they take part in the flag-saluting ritual, or on national holidays.
"If people wear ao dai in daily life, the dress's beauty and significance tends to be less appreciated as the national costume," Huynh Trung Nghia, 55, said.
Famed ao dai designer Thuan Viet said that the ao dai at schools should be made with moisture-absorbing materials and have several adjustments, including a low upright collars, looser-fitting tunic and shorter and narrower pants.
"We should have a 2-cm collar, and flaps ending at 15cm at 25-cm wide cuffs for the convenience of female students," Viet added.
Sy Hoang, a well-known designer whose name is connected closely to the ao dai, said people were now thinking of modernising the ao dai. But the dress has already gone through a period of modernisation.
"The ao dai, traditional but not conservative, has always been modernized to meet the aesthetic taste of people in each period," Hoang said.
Since 1997, Hoang has shown his ao dai designs in 20 countries. In 2006, one of his collections is on permanent display at the Museum San Jose of Quilts and Textilles in San Jose in the US.
Hoang has introduced his ao dai collections that combine traditional ao dai with costumes of other countries, including France, the US, China, Japan, the Philippines Singapore, South Korea, and India.
Duong Thanh Thuy, a representative of the Trung Thuy corporation, which is well-known for the brand Miss Ao Dai, said she was embarrassed when tourists ordered traditional ao dai as there is no clear definition about what a traditional ao dai is.
Despite the disagreements over the design and definition of the ao dai, many people, as well as the government, want to continue to show off their love of the national costume.
Last year, Nguyen Thi Thu Thuy, also known as Juliette Nguyen, who attends the William Angliss Institute in Melbourne, created a fanpage on Facebook named "Ao Dai around the World", encouraging people to send photos of themselves wearing the traditional Vietnamese costume.
"This is a community project of a young girl who loves her traditional Vietnamese dress and wants to share it with the world," her Facebook page says.
Every day, the page posts about two to three photos with captions depicting the readers' stories.
So far, 3,595 Facebook users have liked the page and have uploaded thousands of photos capturing the ao dai in 40 countries.

Perfecting The Recipe For Success
The management team at Engineering Excellence includes (from left) Thomas J. Winstel, president; Thomas A. Winstel, CEO; Mary Seaman, service project manager; Jenny Hirsh, CFO; and Audra Yacks, accounting manager.
CINCINNATI - Engineering Excellence Inc. President Thomas J. Winstel believes the secret to his company's success is in its "sauce."
"If someone went to a recipe maker and asked, 'What is the secret to your sauce?', they would be taken to a vault and shown the recipe," explained Winstel, before adding, "If you ask us, all you need to do is look around and see the people who are here. They are the secret to our success. Our 'secret sauce' is our people."
The commercial contractor has a lot of people "stirring" that sauce - approximately 150 employees in its three Ohio locations: Dayton, Columbus, and the main office in Cincinnati. The total includes 85 service techs and installers.
Ask around and you will get favorable feedback from employees concerning Engineering Excellence, a company that works hard to distinguish itself from competitors. Ownership has managed to get its employees to buy into team participation, which has resulted in a win-win situation for all parties.
Because, in part, commitment is shown on both sides of the fence, Engineering Excellence is the Midwest/Great Lakes Region winner in The News' 2003 "Best Contractor To Work For" contest.
"More than ever, today we have to wrap our arms around our customers and take care of them," said Winstel. "We do that by taking care of our employees - defining processes and team players. This award goes to our employees."
Engineering Excellence Inc. employs roughly 150 people in its three Ohio Locations.
The bulk of Engineering Excellence's market is in the engineering, installation, and maintenance of industrial and commercial HVACR systems. The company was founded 18 years ago by Winstel's father, Thomas A. Winstel, who is the company CEO.
"My father had a vision to create a company different from others - dedicated to servicing building owners," said the younger Winstel.
His father had to be creative to fund the new venture. He acquired a four-man shop with start-up capital from the sale of some of his antique duck decoy collection.
"Back then, we had enough work for three technicians, if two of them were sick," said the younger Winstel. "And our secretary could only type in capital letters. Her husband [who also worked for the company] would not drive on major roads."
The company has come a long way since those early days, but the goals have remained the same. Its mission is still to provide the best service and maintenance for building owners - and to continue to grow in new directions.
"We are looking to expand our business into the multi-location side," said Winstel. "Clients are looking for a company that understands their critical needs and being a HVAC building management firm."
The Engineering Excellence field service managers prepare for another busy day.
Proud Of Relationship
In the eyes of Winstel, Engineering Excellence Inc. has become a big player in the national accounts market, having backstopped an initiative to perform start-ups and maintenance on Lennox rooftop units.
"We had been looking to partner with a manufacturer and at the time a salesperson from Lennox was calling on us," he said. "At the time they were doing road shows and a salesperson was dragging an L-series unit around on the back of his Taurus, spewing transmission fluid all over our parking lot.
"Lennox asked us if we would like to use our national accounts service management center to partner with them to administer a punch list program to customers around the country. The first year we started up over 8,000 rooftop units. We worked with about 80 service providers that first year and today we work with over 700. We are no farther than an hour from any location that needs service."
Winstel is proud of his relationship with service providers around the country, many of whom he met through his company's involvement with the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) and the MIX Group that his company belongs to through ACCA, titled Contractor's Information Group (CIG). They have been involved with CIG for several years, with Winstel calling it his board of directors. They share best practices with all of these contractors.
"We want to work very closely with service providers around the country," he said. "They are integral to our business. They are fellow contractors who I meet at ACCA meetings."

In its entry form toThe News, Engineering Excellence representatives stated: "Reality hurts and challenges us. We understand today's technician may perceive our company as a commodity. That is until they get to know Engineering Excellence Inc. With thought-out retention and benefit plans in place, we work to successfully distinguish our company from our competitors.
"The key to success of our plan is total participation by all parties. Employees are taught the value of total participation. Prospective service technicians and current technicians are trained to recruit and sell Engineering Excellence continuously."
The company identifies the basic needs of its technicians and breaks them out into four major groups: fair wages, recognition, opportunities for growth, and human resources (benefits).
A key to the success of the company is the continuous training that technicians go through. The owners believe in presenting a knowledgeable and expert work force to customers, while allowing employees to advance their knowledge, work capabilities, and worth in the industry. Technicians spend an average of 48 hours annually in training and many are encouraged to attend special manufacturer's training, too.
One of the four major groups - recognition - is also very important to retaining employees. The company's "Team Leader of the Month" award goes to the employee who is recognized by a customer for outstanding service. The winner gets dinner for two and a plaque.
"People want to have a rewarding career," said Winstel. "I have seen incredible personal development and growth from the people in our company."
Many employees expressed why they believe Engineering Excellence Inc. is a great place to work. Sample answers included:
"They believe in their own employees. They listen and they hear us when we have concerns. We are treated with the utmost respect that motivates us to take pride in the work we perform for them. Here, we are individuals, not a number."
"It is a growing family-owned business that has maintained its small business standards."
"The ongoing training. It's the ability to excel from field to office work."
"Because we work well as a team, when it is crunch time and deadlines have to be met, everyone jumps in knowing how important the end result is to the customer."
One employee told of the closeness of the employees and owners when the wife of a fellow employee was seriously hurt in a boating accident. Management set up a bank account to pay for medical expenses and employees donated vacation time so the worker could spend more time with his stricken wife.

Rob Donovan - Runner
I relish this 'persona' a lot, not least because it seems so counter-intuitive for someone like me who 'couldn't run for toffee' as a child to qualify as a runner today. As a kid, I was short-sighted and didn't get to wear corrective glasses until I was 11 years old. I remember knocking myself out and being taken to hospital when I misjudged the gap between the wall edge at the back of the house and the passage way to the side-kitchen door and ran straight into the wall, aged around nine. Doh!
The seeds of trying to make the long, thick legs perform more efficiently were there though. Around the ages of 10 to 12 years, I would take myself off to Penhill Place in Blackfen, Kent, close to where I went to primary school, and try to run round this small public park. I did eventually make the full circuit.
At the Grammar school, I was fit enough to play 2nd fifteen rugby for Wilson House and the school occasionally. But once the smoking started on the 6th form Geography field trip, I soon stopped running by choice. And I didn't start running again until my mid-30s.
In fact it must have been around the time I was trying unsuccessfully to get publishers interested in 'What's Wrong with Schools' that I responded to the zeitgeist and joined in the new national enthusiasm for jogging. The first time I went out from my front-door in Summertown in Oxford, I got half way down the road and pulled up out of breath. It was a big shock to the system. I persevered though. Every evening for the following week I went out on what was becoming my circuit and ran a little further. I even stopped smoking for ever at this time, shamed into finally giving up by some fellow runners who caught me smoking a small cigar as I jogged around my circuit, unwinding.
My new determination to run and keep fit was also linked with a recurrent lower-back problem that meant I needed chiropractic treatment every couple of years or so to deal with disc slippage and muscle spasm. I had undergone surgery in 1979 to free a trapped sciatic nerve, following a couple of car crashes. The operation had been a success but a long-term weakness seemed to have set in. I became convinced that running sensibly kept the body in general and the back in particular well-oiled. I haven't been proved wrong to-date.
By the time Bob Geldof launched his Ethiopa famine appeal in 1986, I was all set for my first public challenge: – a six mile charity run for Sport Aid in May 1986 based on my local circuit, using the Banbury and Woodstock Roads and the linking roads between them. I had never run so far in my life before. I made it in 56 and a half minutes. Cool.
And I kept on running. It became part of my life, if somewhat irregular. When we left Oxford for a new life by the North Sea in East Anglia it still continued and in 1989 I entered the annual Bungay half-marathon of 13.2 miles organised by the Bungay Black Dog running club. I completed around nine miles before I had to resort to speed-walking, alternating with running, and I returned a time of 02:08:04. Now I could say I was a half-marathon man.
Between 1989 and 2004 I was too involved in academic studies to find the time for training for competitive running but I still relished my irregular jogging. But in 2006, with the doctorate behind me, I ran the Bungay half-marathon again in 02:24:35 having resumed my collection of medals for competing and the recording of finishing-times for local races the year before. 10 kilometres, 20 kilometres, half marathons – one, two or three or more races in nearly every year between 2005 and the present. And in 2012 I trained for and completed the London marathon in 05:40:55. Two years later, I added the Edinburgh marathon to my tally in 05:42:10. For around five years I was a member of the Bungay Black Dog running club and enjoyed all the training benefits and camaraderie that goes with running and being alongside other runners.
Running is one of the 'personae' I am most proud of. In my top five 'Life Moments', I would definitely include the minutes that passed as I came to realise I had actually become the winner of my running club's Denton handicap races event in 2008 and was being handed kit vouchers worth £100. The kid who couldn't run for toffee had made it.

Callandoon is a rural locality in the Goondiwindi Region, Queensland, Australia. It is on the border of Queensland and New South Wales. In the , Callandoon had a population of 33 people.

Geography
The Macintyre River forms the southern boundary of the locality which is also part of the border between Queensland and New South Wales.

History
Callandoon pastoral station was established in the mid 1840s by the prominent colonial capitalist and New South Wales politician Augustus Morris. Strong Aboriginal resistance to the British occupancy of their lands in the area induced Morris and other prominent landholders such as William Wentworth to organise a Native Police force to crush the indigenous recalcitrance. Frederick Walker was the first Commandant of this force and through violent and coercive measures, he was able to place the area under British control by 1850. Callandoon became the headquarters of the Native Police until 1853.

Callendoon Provisional School opened on 1893 and closed on 1893, operating for only a few months.

In the , Callandoon had a population of 33 people.

You can lower your utility bills, help the environment, make your Coal City, Illinois, home more comfortable, and even increase your home's value by taking good care of your heater and air conditioner. You can also avoid inconvenient, expensive breakdowns and extend your system's life by reducing wear and tear. Improve your HVAC system's efficiency with ceiling fans, more insulation, an upgrade, and regular maintenance.
Ceiling fans create a cool breeze in summer, and they can save energy by letting you use your HVAC system less. Use fans in occupied rooms and your family members can choose the settings they like for their own rooms.
In fall, you can change the direction of fans from counterclockwise to clockwise by using a small switch near their centers. This pulls cold air toward your ceilings, pushing warm air at the ceiling down. That way, you can get plenty of air circulation without feeling chilly. Just climb a ladder or a stepladder to reach the switch. Many ceiling fans can run at multiple speeds, and they often include ceiling lights. They come in a variety of sizes, colors, and styles, and they're inexpensive and easy for a handy homeowner or professional to install.
Some extra insulation will help you save energy by keeping conditioned air from escaping in summer and winter. It can also keep contaminants like pollen from getting into your home. Check for air leaks by turning off your HVAC system and any fans. Then, carry a lit candle or incense stick by the windows and doors in your house. When the candle flickers or smoke wavers, you're most likely near a spot that needs more insulation or weatherstripping.
You can seal smaller gaps around light switches, windows, or electrical outlets with caulk, and adding weather stripping underneath doors and windows will help you conserve additional energy. Insulated curtains can help lower your energy bill, too. If you still notice leaks or drafts, contact a professional. You could need to have some insulation upgraded or removed and replaced. You should also have an expert check your ductwork for leaks and seal them or add insulation if needed. Ducts without insulation that pass through unconditioned areas like basements raise your utility bills and make staying comfortable more difficult.
If your heater or air conditioner is more than a decade old, you can lower your utility bills by upgrading to a more efficient model. A new HVAC system is a significant investment, but the energy savings are worth it. A geothermal heat pump works like a conventional heat pump, but it exchanges heat with the ground or a body of water instead of the air. Since soil and water temperatures don't fluctuate as much as air temperatures, geothermal systems are more efficient.
With a ductless system, one or more indoor units are connected to an outdoor unit with a small tube for refrigerant. You can control the indoor units independently and avoid wasting energy on unoccupied rooms. You also won't have to use power to move conditioned air through ductwork. To enhance an existing system, you can add a programmable thermostat that will adjust your HVAC system to save energy when you're asleep or away from home.
No matter what type of HVAC system your home has, you should have your system checked by an expert at least once per year. That way, you can catch problems like refrigerant leaks, obstructions in your ductwork, or a malfunctioning thermostat before they have a chance to raise your utility bills or create warm spots or drafts.
You should also replace your HVAC system's air filter once per month. A dirty filter will spread contaminants like dust or dirt around your home instead of catching them. You could notice allergy or asthma symptoms or a lot of dust on your furniture and floors.

TASER Guns vs Stun Guns: What's the Difference?
By Celeste Tholen
Researcher & Writer
We use the words TASER and stun gun interchangeably, but do we really know what they mean? TASER devices and stun guns differ in various things, the biggest being range. While a TASER gun can be shot from a distance, a stun gun requires direct contact with the attacker. Both deliver a powerful shock to the attacker and are meant to give you time to create some distance between the two of you. In this article, we'll teach you more about the basics of stun and TASER guns including other differences and the history behind them.
Want to see the best of the best? We reviewed and ranked the best TASER guns and stun guns for women and men.
TASER guns vs stun guns
Although we may use the terms TASER and stun gun interchangeably, they are not the same thing. A TASER device shoots probes at your target, typically within a range of 15 to 30 feet. A stun gun has prongs that must make direct contact with your target.
What is a TASER device?
A TASER gun is shot from a distance and is a form of electroshock weapon. A TASER gun shoots probes, which are connected to wires, toward your target. The probes, which are spear-shaped, penetrate clothing and sometimes skin, and emit an electrical current that can affect up to a two-inch area. Your target completes the circuit to deliver the electric shock.
To give even more clarification about the TASER device vs. stun gun dilemma, in the United States, we generally refer to face tissue as Kleenex. However, Kleenex is a brand of face tissue and is not the actual name of the product. The same goes for calling all gelatin dessert Jell-O. Jell-O is a specific brand of gelatin dessert and is not the name of all gelatin desserts. TASER is the name of a specific brand of electroshock weapon but does not classify all stun guns.
What is a stun gun?
A stun gun has two or more prongs attached to it to deliver the electric shock. To use a stun gun you must be in direct contact with the person since it does not shoot out any type of probe. Typically, two of the prongs will have an electricity arc between them that you can physically see; the other prongs have the same voltage as these prongs but it won't be visible. It can be dangerous to use a stun gun because the person who is trying to harm you may reach you before you can use the weapon. However, a stun gun may be more comfortable to use and more accessible than a TASER device.
The history of the TASER
The TASER device was invented by Jack Cover, an aerospace scientist affiliated with NASA's Apollo moon landing. He came up with the idea in the 1960s as a solution for emergencies he saw in the news, like airplane hijackings. TASER is not a name but actually an acronym for Thomas Swift Electric Rifle or T.S.E.R. The name was chosen as a tribute to Cover's inspiration, the science fiction novel Tom Swift and His Electric Rifle. An A was later added to make answering the phones easier—instead of saying T.S.E.R. they could say TASER.
Do TASER devices kill people?
TASER devices are not meant to kill people and do not emit a high enough voltage for lethal electrocution. However, there are circumstances where a TASER gun can result in death. Typically this occurs if someone has a heart condition. This is very rare though.
Where are TASER guns legal for civilians?
According to FindLaw, consumers are not allowed to possess TASER devices in Hawaii, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. Other states may allow possession but may hold other limitations, like in Connecticut you can possess a TASER device but can't carry it in your car or on your person. TASER guns are legal for civilians to own in most states, but make sure to check your state's laws and check to see if you need a permit as well.
Where are stun guns legal for civilians?
It is illegal for you to own or possess a stun gun in Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Michigan, and DC. You can own a stun gun in Illinois but there are restrictions. The following cities do not all you to own or possess a stun gun either: Annapolis, MD, Baltimore, MD, Chicago, IL, and Philadelpia, PA. In addition the following counties are illegal: Baltimore County, MD and Crawford County, IA.
What's the difference between police TASER device and civilian TASER device?
TASER devices are frequently used by the military and police officers as a nonlethal form of defense. They are more expensive than the generic stun gun requiring replacement cartridges. Since the police are trained to handle dangerous people, police-grade TASER devices typically emit voltage for five seconds. This gives them time to get the suspect under control. Civilian TASER guns emit voltage for 30 seconds, which gives you time to get yourself away from the person. Generally, a police TASER gun can be shot up to 30 feet away from the suspect, whereas a civilian TASER gun can be shot up to 15 feet from the person. Police-grade TASER devices can also have more probes, be more powerful, and have a quicker speed in regard to the probes firing.
What happens when you are hit by a TASER gun?
The electricity overrides your brain's control of your body by emitting pulses that match neuron pulses. Neurons transfer electrical pulses, or information, between the muscles and brain. When nerves are flooded with information, as they are during a TASER gun shock, neurons get covered up and muscles contract uncontrollably. The body often collapses to the ground and stiffens up some while shaking.
Should you get a TASER gun or a stun gun?
You want our opinion? We think TASER devices are more effective and a safer option in comparison to stun guns. You don't have to come in direct contact with your attacker and you can discharge the TASER gun and flee for safety immediately. Similar to a lethal gun, you'll want to make sure you learn how to properly use this device. Although TASER devices are not lethal, they are still intimidating to handle. So if you choose to get one, make sure you familiarize yourself with your TASER gun and consider taking a class to learn more about how to use it. The last thing we want is you in a dangerous situation and turning to use your Taser but finding out you're unsure how to use it.
TASER devices and stun guns aren't your only option for self defense. Be sure to check out our article What to Carry When You Don't Want to Carry a Gun to familiarize yourself with your options. Remember, it's important to plan ahead of time for these types of situations. You never know when you'll find yourself in a dangerous situation like a person trying to steal your purse, wallet, or something else valuable to you. Or even worse, someone trying to kidnap or hurt your physically. Plan ahead of time and keep yourself protected.
