Kompensator Scientific and Production Enterprise, JSC was created in 1981 as a Special Design Engineering Bureau. Today, Kompensator has become a leading Russian developer and manufacturer of bellows expansion joints (BEJ) and bellows expansion devices (BED) for the needs of different industries. In the initial stage of R&D, customers were mainly in the shipbuilding industry (Rubin Central Design Bureau for Marine Engineering, Malachite Saint-Petersburg Marine Design Bureau, Almaz Central Marine Design Bureau, Northern Planning and Design Bureau).
During a period of active development of Russian rocket production, research and development projects were performed for the manufacture of bellows expansion joints for rocket-and-space systems developed by RSC Energia, in particular, for the Energia-Buran multipurpose rocket-and-space complex.
Currently, the company consists of design and engineering divisions, mass production, testing centre and certification body.
for the shipbuilding industry (Admiralty Shipyards JSC, Baltic Shipyard JSC, Northern shipyard JSC, SC Almaz JSC, Baltic Shipyard Yantar JSC).
Accumulated technological capacity and the use of modern methods of design and calculations, created using computer-aided design systems (COMPAS 3D, SolidWorks, Ansys, Cosmos Works etc.) make possible the development of bellows expansion joints for any parameters required by the customer. These are without restrictions for pressure, temperature and diameter.
The company carries out systematic works with the leading developers of pipeline systems and is actively developing new bellows equipment. Over the past 5 years, the company cooperates with design organizations in the field of operation loads calculation of pipeline systems including vibration and seismicity, which now uses the DPiPe program, specially developed for the calculation of pipeline systems.
This program was, in particular, used for the calculation of transfer pipeline of the AVT-1 unit of Slavneft-YaroslavNefteorgSyntez JSC (the same company is planned to perform the calculations of gas conduit for the KM-2 unit). Calculations were also performed on the pipelines for LNPP, Busher, pipings of turbine plants by Power Machines JSC, pipings of pump-and-compressor unit assemblies designed by Giprokislorod JSC in association with Cryogenmash JSC for the Seversk pipe plant JSC, Pervouralsk pipe plant JSC, Kazzinc JSC, Ural steel JSC etc.


This note examines Northeast Women's Center, Inc v. McMonagle a successful civil RICO claim brought by an abortion clinic against antiabortion activists who "used force, threats of force, fear and violence in their efforts to force the clinic out of business " As a background to examining the case, this note will explore the RICO statute, the judicial extension of RICO, and the current congressional action concerning reform.
Analysis of Northeast reveals an emerging extension of civil RICO. Civil RICO is applied to curb unlawful political protest. Such an extension allows certain victims of domestic terrorism private recovery of damages. This note concludes that this extension of civil RICO serves as appropriate private enforcement to deter structured, continuing criminality.

Just back from an afternoon on the Kelvin. The river is a surprisingly good height after all the rain, but still carrying a bit of colour. No real hatch to speak of today,a wee chilly breeze saw to that. Saw the odd segde, yellow may and olives here and there though. I ended up catching a dozen fish mostly 8″-10″, and a couple a bit nicer, which i took snaps of. Hope your training isn't too grim!
My day just got better after hearing about your session Rob !
It makes me mad when a co-called friend e-mails me to tell me how well he's fished – without me. Just kidding actually : I like it when they give me news about my rivers, how the water is, how the hatches are coming and how the fish is going.
However, some of them are real b*stards, you know the kind that call you at the office : "Guess what ? This afternoon I'm on river so-and-so and I've just caught a nice brown trout!".


This chapter investigates the relationship between innovation in emerging technologies and neoliberalism as it is implemented in the case of the National Institute for Nanotechnology (NINT) on the campus of the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada.i Neoliberalism in this context is defined as a series of critiques of bureaucracies' abilities to understand and regulate the economy and a valorization of the ability of communities to self-govern (Hayek, 1945). In this chapter, neoliberal refers to the theories of von Hayek, on one hand, and is presented as used by the diverse participants in an community-based, ethnographic research project. I reflect on the case of the NINT using ethnographic and geographical approaches, using narrative to capture the complexity of a local place. This goes beyond local socioeconomic conditions in order to map the microphysics of co-evolving cultural repertoires and community institutions within which neoliberal science policy and programs are deployed. Drawing on and critiquing Mitchell Dean's four axes of governance, governmentality is used as a rubric under which to examine the interaction between neoliberal forms of capitalism and research in emergent sciences as recounted in the narratives of participants in our ethnographic study.ii There were a total of 104 participants who represented the public locally, experts and various policy and industry actors (see below). Finally, I hypothesize that nanotechnology may initiate a shift from a biopolitical to "nanopolitical" governmentality that requires a fundamental recasting of what we understand as the governmental rationalities of neo-liberalism and its objects.

Tillerson and McMaster were present at the May 10 meeting where Trump discussed his firing of James Comey, the former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with Sergei Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister and Sergei Kislyak, the Russian ambassador to the United States.
The New York Times, citing officials familiar with an internal White House summary of the meeting, reported that Trump referred to Comey as a "nut job" and said his removal would relieve "great pressure" coming from the agency's probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
Lavrov denied that the subject of Comey came up during the meeting, according to Interfax news agency.
Russian President Vladimir Putin had offered to provide the U.S. Congress with transcripts of the same meeting to counter reports that Trump also disclosed classified information to Lavrov about a planned Islamic State operation.
However, neither McMaster nor Tillerson on Sunday disputed that the subject of Comey's dismissal came up in the meeting with Russian officials. Both said that Trump's remarks had been misinterpreted.

Located in the small intimate community south of Meadowlark, the school fits in with our "home away from home" atmosphere. With great staff and the smaller but intimate school enrolment, children receive an abundance of attention and are well known by all. Our programs and the school work well with one another to fulfill every need of the students in the best way possible. The programs work with families as a whole.
In addition to a great out of school program in spacious facility, we have recently developed a daycare program to meet the needs of the community in facilitating the students of the school's unique 100 Voices Program for 3-41/2 year olds in an early learning play school program. One of a few in the Edmonton school system. Easy transition from school to daycare and vice versa, puts parents mind at ease as to their child's well-being throughout the day.
Being close to Meadowlark Shopping centre and easily accessible city bus routes is an additional asset. We welcome your visit.

La peinture au doigt est un mode utilisant les doigts pour poser la peinture.

Présentée généralement en pots la peinture est utilisé par les jeunes enfants, même si elle est parfois utilisée par les adultes pour enseigner l'art aux enfants, ou pour leur propre usage.

Matériaux

La peinture au doigt n'est pas toxique, et est habituellement vendu en paquets de six couleurs vives. Les peintures peuvent également être préparées à partir de produits ménagers non toxiques tels que de la farine ou de la fécule de maïs.

La peinture au doigt à travers le monde

La peinture au doigt se répand à travers le monde et des artistes commencent à utiliser cette technique et les collectionneurs sont de plus en plus à la recherche de ce style.

L'artiste la plus connue peignant au doigt est l'artiste américaine Iris Scott (Iris Scott Fine Art) de New York. La jeune artiste française Lucie Schrimpf (Lucie Schrimpf Fine Art) travaille également avec cette technique.

La peinture au doigt dans l'éducation et la thérapie

Technique

Bien que le nom implique que la peinture soit appliquée avec les doigts, l'utilisation experte de ce support utilise également les mains et les avant-bras. L'utilisation du bras entier lisse la peinture sur le papier avant de procéder à une modélisation plus détaillée avec les doigts et d'autres parties de la main. Parfois, des éponges, des tissus et d'autres outils sont utilisés pour obtenir une texture spécifique.

Certains artistes sont connus pour peindre uniquement avec leurs mains, afin de devenir plus intimes avec le processus. Ces artistes n'utilisent pas la peinture au doigt traditionnelle. Ce style, le «  », est considéré comme un sous-genre d'«  » . Des peintres comme Tyler Ramsey ont juré de ne jamais toucher au pinceau, mais l'utilisation de gants chirurgicaux pour des raisons de sécurité est courante lors de l'utilisation d'huiles toxiques. Tyler Ramsey affirme que . Le «  » est apparu en 2002 comme moyen de réfuter l'idée que .

L'artiste peintre Nick Benjamin affirme qu'il

L'artiste outsider Jimmy Lee Sudduth a expliqué qu'il peignait avec ses doigts parce qu'ils  à la manière des pinceaux. La peinture au doigt traitée de manière répétée au moyen de décalcomanie sur le même papier a tendance à générer des fractales, comme l'a étudié l'Université de Yale.

Interventional procedures are highly specialized examinations in modern medicine that involves minimal invasion either for diagnostic purposes or for treatment purposes. An imaging specialist is required for these procedures. The procedures are used in place of open surgery. They require the guidance of imaging equipment such as the ultrasound and X-ray; it is also known as image-guided surgery.
Interventional procedures are conducted using needles and catheters (narrow tubes). The images provide the specialist with the necessary knowledge of where to lead the instruments in the body. With the minimized intrusion, physical trauma is also reduced, increasing the chances for the patient to heal faster and lower the risk of infections.
Patients with joint ailments are treated using joint injections to provide relief from the pain and inflammations. Interventional radiology is guided by X-ray, CT scan, or ultrasound depending on the ailment being treated. The removal of tissues is performed when there is a need for further analysis at the laboratory.

Over time we're going to accumulate technical information, sample scripts, fun projects, and other nerdly phenomena here. Please put on your propellor helmet (and your coal miner's hat) before wandering thru this site. And crank it up!


Nothing spells tradition more than family favorite foods. A popular one for our tribe is Broccoli Slaw. This baby is quick, simple and tasty. I'll waste no time…here's the recipe!
The salad is best when mixed and served immediately. However, a great DoAhead consists of mixing the seeds, almonds and noodles in a baggie and then placing them in the fridge to chill. In addition, the dressing can be prepared in advance. When it's time to serve it takes just a few minutes to combine all the ingredients. The result is a fresh, crisp side dish!
That's it DoAheads! Start crushing those Ramen Noodles and prepare to be in awe of the Slaw!

Air Force failed to submit Texas shooter's criminal history

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Air Force failed to report the accused Texas church shooter's domestic violence conviction to the FBI as required by Pentagon rules, officials said Monday.
The lapse prompted the Pentagon to announce a review of whether the problem has gone undetected in other cases across the military.
Devin Patrick Kelley was convicted of assault against his wife and stepson in an Air Force court-martial in New Mexico in 2012 and served 12 months in confinement before being given a bad-conduct discharge in 2014.
He is the suspected gunman in the attack Sunday in Sutherland Springs, Texas, in which 26 people were killed.
An Air Force record of the Kelley court-martial says he pleaded guilty to multiple specifications of assault, including striking his wife, choking her with his hands and kicking her. He also was convicted of striking his stepson on the head and body "with a force likely to produce death or grievous bodily harm."
Under Pentagon rules, information about convictions of military personnel in crimes like assault is supposed to be submitted to the FBI's Criminal Justice Investigation Services Division for inclusion in the National Criminal Information Center database.
For unspecified reasons, the Air Force did not provide the information about Kelley as required.
Acknowledging its mistake, the Air Force said in a written statement that the top two Air Force officials - Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson and Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein - have ordered a review of the Kelley case by the Air Force Office of the Inspector General.
"The service will also conduct a comprehensive review of Air Force databases to ensure records in other cases have been reported correctly," Air Force spokeswoman Ann Stefanek said.
Later Monday, the Pentagon issued a written statement saying it had asked its inspector general to work with the Air Force to review the handling of criminal records in the Kelley case. It also said the inspector general will "review relevant policies and procedures to ensure records from other cases" throughout the Defense Department have been correctly reported to the FBI.
Meantime President Donald Trump says tougher gun laws would not have prevented the shooting, arguing that more restrictions might have led to more casualties.
Trump spoke at a news conference in South Korea Tuesday where he was asked about "extreme vetting" for gun purchases. Trump said: "If you did what you're suggesting, there would have been no difference three days ago and you might not have had that very brave person who happens to have a gun or a rifle in his trunk."
As he did following last month's Las Vegas massacre of 58 people, Trump pushed back against the question, calling it a "situation that probably shouldn't be discussed too much" and noted that he was "in the heart of South Korea."
Trump added that if the Good Samaritan didn't have a gun, "instead of having 26 dead, you would have had hundreds more dead."
Trump's more muted response to gun violence contrasts with his swift call for legislative and military action following the Oct. 31 truck attack in New York City. Within hours of a rental truck ramming through a crowded bicycle path and into a school bus, Trump called for Congress to "immediately" repeal the diversity visa lottery program that suspect Sayfullo Saipov, an Uzbekistan citizen, used to enter the country in 2010.
After the Las Vegas shooting, Trump and aides said it was inappropriate to consider a policy response while people were still grieving. Despite days later suggesting openness to outlawing the bump stock device that allowed Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock to fire at near-automatic rates, the Trump administration has shown no signs of urgency.
Trump, who supported gun control before reversing his position to enter the Republican presidential primary, courted the National Rifle Association's endorsement in 2016. Earlier this year he became the first president in three decades to speak at the gun group's annual convention.
Associated Press writer Catherine Lucey in Washington contributed to this report.

If you arrive before your room is available, we will be happy to provide you with your wristbands, merchandise and resort credentials so that you can enjoy the resort amenities and relax as your room is being prepared.
A: To enter Jamaica a valid passport is required. Citizens of the U.S, the UK, Canada and other major European countries are not required to have a visa to visit Jamaica, but must present a valid passport when leaving and or re-entering their country. All visitors are required to travel with a return ticket or onward ticket for entry into Jamaica. Other nationalities please contact your local Jamaican embassy, Consulate or Jamaica Tourism office or visit www.VisitJamaica.com to verify correct documentation needed. We encourage you to PLEASE check your passport ASAP and make sure that it's up to date and valid for at least 6 months prior to your departure date. If your passport is set to expire within 6 months of travel to Jamaica, Jamaican customs will not let you enter the country.
How Will I Receive My Tickets, Trip Documents & Schedule Of Events?
A: All of our documentation is paperless. We do not use snail mail or any form of expedited mailing services. This means about 3 weeks prior to the event, you will receive a document email with all of the details of your trip (what to do when you arrive at the airport, where to go, concert times, hotel info, etc.). The only documentation you'll need is your passport which you must travel with anyway. It is a good idea to print your document email just in case you need it for reference. The resort itself is private so no concert tickets are required. You will, however, need to wear an event wristband for identification.
A: This year features more music than ever before! Gov't Mule will perform Three (3) 2-Set shows. Warren Haynes will perform a solo afternoon set. T Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real and the Devon Allman Project with Duane Betts will each play multiple sets. Ron Holloway is going to do something we like to call "Sax On The Beach."
A: Matt Abts will host a drum clinic. We will also have some other special pop-up musical performances throughout the event including Sax on the Beach and new bonfire sessions.
A: Although your stay is all-inclusive, we do recommend having some cash available. While tipping is not expected, it is nice to have cash handy for those who provide exceptional service. There will also be various excursions from the resort during the day and you may want to purchase a souvenir or two.
Also, you will need cash if you plan on purchasing Island Exodus merchandise. We do bring a square reader to accept credit cards at the merch booth, but the connection does not always cooperate and cash will ensure that you get the items you want and help keep the line moving fast.
A: The Jewel Paradise Cove is an 18+ Plus Resort, so children can not access the host resort and therefore can not attend the music or activities. However, The Jewel Runaway Bay Resort is extremely family friendly, with many activities for children, including an extensive water park. JRB Resort does offer baby sitting in the evenings.
A: Yes! Payment plans will be available upon check out. Guests will have to make their initial deposit and then the balance will be spread across monthly payments until the final due date.
Will There Be Any Additional Fees Added On Top Of The Listed Package Prices?
A: No additional fees will be charged once you have booked your package. Each Island Exodus packages offers an all-inclusive experience within the concert venue on all nights. Please note, the resort may offer certain amenities that are not included in your package price and require extra charges. These amenities may include spa treatments and off-site adventures.
Will Tickets To The Concerts Be Available Without Purchasing A Resort Package?
A: No outside tickets will be available for purchase. Admission to the event will only be available for those who purchase a package at the Jewel Paradise Cove or Jewel Runaway Bay.

Arcane Engineering is a crossover mod for Thaumcraft and Immersive Engineering which aims to add useful and non-OP features to the game.
Would be great if it was updated!
do you plain update to minecraft 1.12.2?
Can you update this mod for Minecraft 1.8.9? I want to do a modpack in this version, and this is the last mod that i need.
ImpulseBoots are not consume fuel. What can be the reason?
Another question - where is the config for this mod?
Scepter and staff version of treated wood.
Perhaps you could infuse Tough Fabric and make Enchanted Tough Fabric. Would be more durable and more protective than regular enchanted fabric, but has less of a vis discount.
Magical Wooden Wall Mounts: Decorational or old wands? Put them here!
I hope that these suggestions helped!
Sadly, I lost the source code of this mod when I did stupid things with my harddrive, and even more stupidly never made one single backup in my entire life, even after I lost all of my data because I never learn, do I.
Also, I pretty much exclusively develop for 1.11 now, and plan on moving to 1.12 as soon as forge is released for it, so there is no chance of me ever even decompiling a version from curseforge to add new features.
I actually am sorry though, and I wish you luck in your continued use of 1.7.10 (coming from a guy who still plays 1.6.4 and sometimes 1.2.5).
Would it be okay if I tried decompiling it?
Okay nevermind! I just found a hungry node in my survival world and nearly fell into it (oh christ)!
Hello, I think I might be blind but I can not locate any configs? Also, Is their any minetweaker support?
Hello,I'm a Chinese Minecreft player,I think your MOD is relly wonderful.I want share your MOD with more people,can I repost it to chinese tribune?http://www.mcbbs.netI will translate lang and list your name.I hope hear from you soon.
Will this be getting a 1.8.9 update? Or will you wait till both IE and TC are firmly established in 1.9?

December 18, 2020 NSBA Weekly Update
December 18, 2020 - NSBA Weekly Update
Congressional Update
Lawmakers Inch Closer to Finalizing End-of-Year Spending Bill
Although it has taken the better part of the year, Congress is now on the precipice of passing legislation to fund the federal government for the next year and to provide additional emergency aid to confront the ongoing pandemic. Earlier in the week, Republican and Democratic leaders tentatively announced agreement on a $1.4 trillion omnibus spending package—legislation that ties together the 12 core appropriations bills that compose and fund the entire federal government and related programs. Lawmakers hope to use this must pass legislation as a vehicle to attach approximately $900 billion in additional pandemic relief. Details of the emerging package have yet to be made public. However, the latest draft of this pandemic relief proposal would provide the K-12 community with an additional $54 billion in emergency funding, structured similarly to what was provided by the CARES Act earlier this year. In addition, the pandemic relief component that is still being negotiated would likely provide approximately $3 billion for an Emergency Educational Connectivity Fund to bolster the E-Rate program to help with the homework gap as well as additional funding for school-based meal programs if agreement can be reached on the details. While NSBA is calling for at least $12 billion in homework gap funding, the $3 billion proposed in this measure would provide an immediate help for many students and NSBA is fighting to keep the funding in the legislation. NSBA is also calling for an extension of time to be added to any legislation for states and local governments to utilize funds from the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) that is administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. This measure would allow school districts that are subrecipients of CRF funds the additional time needed to complete services, thereby changing the date by which funding must be utilized from December 30, 2020 to December 30, 2021. Further, NSBA is also calling for an extension of the COVID-19 employee leave provisions that were made available through the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) for emergency sick leave and emergency family and medical leave.
In addition to these issues there are still some other short-term hurdles that the omnibus and pandemic relief package must overcome. Current federal funding—extended last week by Congress through December 18—is set to expire if this or an additional short-term extension of funding is not passed by Congress by midnight this evening. While lawmakers seem to have agreement on the $1.4 trillion in regular funding, areas of disagreement remain related to the pandemic relief package. Given that Democratic and Republican leaders hope to combine both legislative proposals into a single package, these areas of disagreement, unrelated to the education provisions contained in earlier drafts of the proposal, have been the primary cause for this delay. With time running out before the December 18 deadline, the possibility of a lapse in federal funding—and with it a temporary shutdown of the federal government—remain a possibility as lawmakers race to complete work on this massive spending package.
As these efforts continue, NSBA's advocacy team will work to ensure lawmakers pass this needed legislation before the end of the year and provide the education community with additional emergency aid and certainty heading into 2021. As of Friday evening, it is expected a two day long Continuing Resolution (CR) will be required to keep the federal government open over the weekend as negotiations on these issues continue.

Administration Update
FCC Extends Gift Rule Waiver
On Monday, December 14, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) formally extended its waiver of gift rule requirements embedded in the E-rate program through June 30, 2021. Earlier this year the FCC waived these rules as part of its response to the ongoing pandemic. Currently, the FCC prohibits eligible schools, libraries, and other entities from accepting gifts or services worth more than $20 from participating Internet Service Providers (ISPs). However, given the immense need to increase broadband access to facilitate the transition to remote learning, the FCC extended this flexibility through the middle of next year. This temporary waiver is intended to allow ISPs to partner with schools, along with other eligible entities, to donate increased broadband capacity and related devices such as Wi-Fi hotspots to help more students and families stay connected during the pandemic.
USED Announces Innovation and Research Grants

This Airport Just Became the First to Get a 5-star Rating for Its COVID-19 Safety Protocols
And it's in a former epicenter of the pandemic.
Rome's Fiumicino Airport is the first in the world to be awarded a five-star COVID-19 rating from Skytrax, an international airline and airport rating organization.
The airport was awarded five stars based on its response to the pandemic, which includes cleaning and disinfecting procedures and consistency, social distancing policies, and implementation and availability of face masks, hand sanitizer, and availability of PPE. The rating system is carried out by an audit team that performs inspections at each airport.
"Rome Fiumicino Airport has done an excellent job in delivering COVID-19 protocols that enable a safe environment for customers and staff," Skytrax CEO Edward Plaisted said in a statement. "In the core areas of hand hygiene and social distancing the airport has robust procedures in place, and importantly, this is being reinforced by a high-level of attention to terminal sanitization at high-contact points. It is the consistency of these measures that is also notable, and this is an essential factor behind Rome Fiumicino Airport being the first airport in the world to receive the COVID-19 5-Star Airport Rating."
Earlier this month, Fiumicino — which is Italy's busiest airport — opened a 7,000-square-foot COVID testing center, managed in cooperation with the Italian Red Cross. In high traffic areas, an in-house bio-safety team of 40 people enforce social distancing rules and ensure that everyone is wearing a face mask.
Italy was once considered an epicenter of the coronavirus and currently has close to 300,000 cases of COVID-19, according to Johns Hopkins University.
Skytrax's rating system considers five stars a place with "very high standards of airport cleanliness and maintenance procedures." Four stars mean "good" and three is "average." A ranking of two stars indicates that the airport's COVID procedures "need work."
Thierry Monasse/Getty
Only a few airports have so far been inspected by Skytrax. The other airports that have so far been reviewed — London Heathrow, Malaga Costa del Sol, and Nice Cote d'Azur — were awarded three stars each. The complete list of rankings is available online and will be updated as international borders reopen and inspectors visit more airports around the globe.
Skytrax also establishes a list of the world's best airports every year but this year's ranking was canceled due to the pandemic. For the past eight consecutive years, Singapore Changi Airport has won the top honor.

Home World George Floyd: UK police chiefs 'stand alongside' those appalled by death
George Floyd: UK police chiefs 'stand alongside' those appalled by death
Hundreds of protesters gathered in London's Hyde Park on Wednesday
UK chief constables have said they stand alongside all those "appalled and horrified" by the way African-American George Floyd died in US police custody.
In a joint statement, they said the right to lawful protest was a "key part of any democracy" but stressed coronavirus remains a "deadly disease".
The police leaders said restrictions remained, including not gathering outside in groups of more than six.
The warning comes as hundreds protest around the UK.
Protests began in the US after a video showed Mr Floyd being arrested on 25 May in Minneapolis and a white police officer continuing to kneel on his neck even after he pleaded that he could not breathe.
The officer, Derek Chauvin, has been charged with third-degree murder.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Wednesday that Mr Floyd's death had been "appalling" and "inexcusable", but was criticised for failing to comment on the killing before now.
SNP Westminster Leader Ian Blackford said the UK government had "shuttered itself in the hope no-one would notice".
Meanwhile, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer called on the PM to convey to US President Donald Trump the UK's "abhorrence about his response to the events".
Protesters in Hyde Park chanted "black lives matter" and "we will not be silent"
In the US, tens of thousands of people demonstrated for an eighth night, mainly peacefully.
The Floyd case has reignited deep-seated anger over police killings of black Americans and racism.
Demonstrators have taken to the streets – not only to express their outrage at the treatment of Mr Floyd – but to condemn police brutality against black Americans more widely.
In the UK, hundreds of people have gathered in London's Hyde Park for a protest organised by campaign group, Black Lives Matter.
Organisers asked people to spread their arms out to maintain a two-metre distance from each other, as crowds chanted "the UK is not innocent".
One activist attending the protest, Brogan Baptiste, told the BBC earlier: "It's imperative that all of us, whether you're black, white, that you're involved in this because we need change and we need it now."
Filippa, a 20-year-old student who also joined the protest, said: "I know that I'm healthy. So this felt more important than to stay inside when I have the opportunity."
Islington Council/PA Media
Islington Assembly Hall in London turned purple on Tuesday evening to honour George Floyd's memory
In their joint statement, the National Police Chiefs Council said: "We stand alongside all those across the globe who are appalled and horrified by the way George Floyd lost his life. Justice and accountability should follow.
"In the UK, we have a long-established tradition of policing by consent, working in communities to prevent crime and solve problems.
"Officers are trained to use force proportionately, lawfully and only when absolutely necessary," the statement continued.
"We strive to continuously learn and improve. We will tackle bias, racism or discrimination wherever we find it."
The police leaders added that "sometimes we fall short" but "when we do, we are not afraid to shine a light on injustices or to be held to account".
They said UK police "uphold and facilitate" the right to lawful protest and "we know people want to make their voices heard".
However, amid the coronavirus pandemic they stressed restrictions on gatherings were still in place and urged people to "continue to work with officers at this challenging time."
Meanwhile, campaign group Stand Up to Racism (SUTR) is urging Britons to "take the knee" on their doorsteps for a socially-distanced protest at 18:00 BST.
SUTR said the campaign was inspired by the kneeling protest staged by American football star Colin Kaepernick in 2016 that has become synonymous with the Black Lives Matter movement.
On Tuesday evening, civic buildings in cities including London, Liverpool and Cardiff turned purple to honour Mr Floyd's memory, with other cities around the country promising similar tributes on Wednesday evening.

The basic concept is good - the market is always right so learn to understand its language. The language is charting. Covers a good range of basic indicators, their construction and application, but adds little new material to understanding technical analysis. It is an Australian version of material that is covered in many introductory US books. Very little discussion of what is involved in trading or any systematic approach.
