Citizen Security Reform, part 3: Tension Between Policing Models7 min read
By Rebecca Hanson and David Smilde, Feb. 11
Feb 11, 2013 | Analysis
The two murals above adorn the walls of the police station of Portugesa's state police force, succinctly capturing the current juxtaposition of two very different models of security in Venezuela. The first mural encapsulates well the traditional model of policing in the country, with its gun toting, special operations image of citizen security. The second mural, a much more recent image added to the station walls that is adapted from the General Police Council's training manuals, symbolizes the move toward differential and progressive use of force, with an emphasis on dialogue rather than force as a primary response.
If "humanist-oriented" police reform in Venezuela is able to convince citizens, police officers, and politicians that security is not achieved exclusively by state use of violence, Venezuela could well turn into one of the most successful cases of progressive police reform in the region. However, this new model of citizen security—with its focus on prevention, citizen participation, and non-militarized policing—has a long way to go before it is accepted as the dominant approach to reducing crime and violence in the country.
Indeed, parallel to the police reform has been the creation in 2010 of the Dispositivo Bicentenario de Seguridad Ciudadana, or the DIBISE, an initiative run by the National Guard. The main tactics utilized by the DIBISE are security outposts and "alcabalas" (roadblocks) set up in high crime areas, which represent the same kind of "operativos" that the government has been using for decades. While this traditional military approach to citizen security has consistently shown itself to be ineffective, it does provide a visible state security presence in high crime areas.
These kinds of policing activities fulfilled by the National Guard and other military branches were heavily criticized by the CONAREPOL report (see previous post). Nevertheless, they continue to be popular with many citizens, as the militarized approach to security—though viewed as violent and repressive—is also often perceived as a necessary mano dura response to crime and insecurity. And it is the logical response for the National Guard which is part of the same Ministry of the Interior and Justice that is pushing forward the police reform. Many within the hierarchy of the National Guard have vested interests in the continuation of established routines, channels of authority and domains of influence and are not supportive of civilian police reform..
The tensions between these two models are highlighted by the change in the direction of the Ministry of Justice and the Interior from a civilian with a degree in criminology—Tarek El Aissami who left to run as the PSUV candidate for governor of Aragua, winning this post in December—to National Guard official Nestor Reverol. Indeed it was Reverol that designed the DIBISE as a parallel to the police reform. Given Reverol's background these differences are easy to exaggerate. A closer look reveals that Reverol has been part of the design of citizen security reform from the beginning and has professed on numerous occasions a commitment to pushing forward the creation of a civilian police force. Nevertheless, many have wondered if the transition will mark a return to the predominance of military forms of policing in Venezuela
The DIBISE and approaches like it are not, however, the only challenges to police reform. As police scholars have long noted, both institutional culture and a lack of resources allocated to reform have tended to impede long-term changes in policing across the region. Additionally, the re-training of police officers at the municipal and state levels is still largely left up to the discretion of the directors of each police body. While conducting fieldwork, the first author has heard multiple CGP personnel telling stories of having visited police departments where CGP training guides and manuals were stacked up in closets, still in the wrapping they were shipped in.
The National Bolivarian Police (PNB, Policía Nacional Bolivariana) has also been criticized for not actually patrolling the "prioritized" (i.e. high crime) areas that they are charged with protecting. Rather, some maintain that PNB officers stick close to main streets and metro entrances, with some residents reporting that the new professionalized policemen "no suben cerro," meaning they do not go into the dangerous barrios.
Another challenge to police reform is that some of the policies mandated by the reform have yet to be put into place. For example, many state and municipal officers will not see their pay increase until this year, as changes to pay have to wait to be factored into budgets for 2013. Given that poor pay is frequently cited as a main motivator of police corruption this could mean that one of the most important changes required by the reform will not even be implemented until this year.
Changing citizens' perceptions of the new security model might perhaps be the most difficult obstacle the reform will face. While their emphasis on dialogue and progressive use of force cannot be overestimated, reformers' advocacy of physical force as a last resort could produce an image of PNB officers as incapable of keeping citizens safe. For example, many of the residents in the lower-class sector where the first author conducts research refer to the PNB as a "soft" form of security, too soft to deal with violent areas of the city. As one woman recently expressed in a community meeting: Non-repressive policing is great but what good does dialogue do when a "delinquent" starts shooting?
Apart from references to the PNB as too "suave," many citizens also describe PNB officers as too young (the 2008 Organic Law of the Police Service and of the National Police Body lowered the inscription age to 18 for prospective officers) and this youthfulness makes them wonder if the PNB are prepared for their jobs. As a teacher in Los Magallanes de Catia told the first author, these "little boys" are just recently hatched ("saliendo de la cáscara"). At the same community meeting mentioned above, a woman described PNB officers as scared of their own guns and unprepared to deal with "malandros" when they drew out their own weapons. UNES graduates actually receive more training than did their Metropolitan Police predecessors. However, these perceptions portray the PNB as a bunch of nice kids not yet ready to face the street.
This perception has only been heightened by the fact that the reform's impacts on crime and violence are still unclear. According to statistics released by the CICPC (Cuerpo de Investigaciones Científicas, Penales y Criminalísticas), the homicide rate in Caracas fell in the first two years of police reform, from 122/100,000 residents in 2009, to 105 in 2010, and to 95 in 2011. For the country as a whole, the Ministry of Justice and the Interior calculated homicide rates per 100,000 residents as moving from 49 in 2009, to 45 in 2010, and 48 in 2011. Official rates for 2012 have yet to be released by the government.
However, according to the Venezuelan Violence Observatory (OVV, Observatorio Venezolano de Violencia), 2011 and 2012 were Venezuela's most violent years ever. The OVV reported a homicide rate of 67/100,000 residents in 2011, with a rise to 73/100,000 residents for 2012. The OVV includes "deaths under investigation" in its statistic which leads to a higher overall rate than the CICPC. However what is important is the trend which worsened over a year's time rather than improving. Calculating these numbers in Venezuela is tricky for a number of reasons (see a previous post by Robert Samet).
Of course, the impact of police reform is a complex issue since it cannot be expected to generate an immediate, direct and consistent reduction in crime. It also must be kept in mind, as this post has highlighted, that police reform is only part of the overall security strategy in the country–in addition to continued support for militarized intervention, little progress has been made in reforming the judicial or corrections systems. But in public policy perceptions are fundamental and citizens who continue to see homicide rates rise might favor a return to militarized policing strategies. In the end, consolidating the reform will require citizen and official support for a model of policing that does not define security as displays of power on street corners and arbitrary use of force against citizens.

Uncontrolled California Wildfires Force More Than 100,000 People to Evacuate
11/09/2018 California, U.S., U.S. + Canada
Three wildfires are currently raging in both Southern and Northern California, forcing at least 100,000 people to evacuate their homes and destroying thousands of acres of land in the process.
Two of the fires are burning in Thousand Oaks in Southern California, a community just north of Los Angeles. Cal Fire issued a mandatory evacuation for parts of Malibu as well. In Northern California, a wildfire has destroyed most of the city of Paradise, about 80 miles north of Sacramento, forcing at least 40,000 people to evacuate their homes with little notice. Multiple injuries and deaths have been reported, but that state has not released any specific numbers.
Due to a lethal combination of high winds, low humidity, and dry land, the wildfires massively increased in size from Thursday through early Friday morning.
This is footage at the corner of Pearson and Edgewood Lane at 10:05am. Traffic was at a standstill…. People were abandoning their cars and running with their babies and kids. This was right before someone rammed our vehicle with theirs trying to get through… There were no firefighters in sight. I am hoping all of these people made it out.
The Camp Fire in Northern California began growing uncontrollably on Thursday at an estimated rate of about 80 football fields per minute, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire). It has already devastated an area of more than 70,000 acres. The department also declared a state of emergency for Butte County. As of Friday morning, only about five percent of the fire is contained.
"It was just a wall of fire on each side of us, and we could hardly see the road in front of us," police officer Mark Bass told local ABC News after an emergency evacuation.
Evacuees who already made it out of the area are urged to register themselves as safe with the American Red Cross.
In the southern part of the state, two wildfires (named Woolsey Fire and Hill Fire) have forced emergency evacuations of more than 75,000 homes in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, according to local CBS News.
Within just a few hours on Thursday, the Woolsley Fire exploded from an area of 2,000 acres to about 8,000. As of Friday morning, it has covered more than 10,000 acres and is zero percent contained.
Malibu's mandatory evacuation is in effect for the area south of 101 Freeway from the Ventura County line to Las Virgenes, southward to the ocean.
About 13 miles to the west, the Hill Fire has swallowed at least 6,000 acres of land, according to Cal Fire. The fire is just down the street from a bar where a mass shooting took place on Wednesday night, killing 12 people.
"Fire conditions are extreme and we are seeing it from border to border," a spokesperson for the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services said at a press conference on Friday morning. All those who live in evacuation zones are urged to leave as quickly as possible, the Ventura County Fire Department said.

911S G, H, I, J Series ~ 1974-1977
The G series, Porsche realigned its model line-up. The 911S was no longer the range-topping car but rather a mid-range model comparable to the previous 911E.
It ran a 2.7-litre engine equipped with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection that produced 175bhp in rest-of-world form. However, in the USA increasingly demanding emissions regulations meant that, for the H series cars in 1975, the engines were fitted with air-pumps which, basically, diluted the exhaust gases with fresh air but at the same time knocked 10bhp off the maximum. The same year, cars for the Californian market for fitted with thermal reactors and exhaust-gas recirculation (EGR) systems that reduced the maximum output to 160bhp.
In other ways, the 911S was similar to the entry level 911, and adopted the same improvements. The impact-absorbing bumpers transformed the cars looks, as did the full-width rear reflector, while new elephant ear door mirrors appeared on the I series version for 1976. Inside, the 911S also followed the basic 911, and had that cars same four-spoke steering wheel.
The 911S came as standard with 15-inch ATS cookie cutter wheels fitted with 185/70VR tyres.
Today, if buying a 911S of this age, it's important to bear in mind that it was no longer the range-topping car, that privilege went to the 911 Carrera.
Impact bumpers front and rear
'2.7' and '911S' badges on rear
'Elephant ear' mirrors from 1976
Full width rear reflector
Targa: The 911S was available with a removable Targa roof, as per the contemporary standard 911.
Signature 911S Sold in 1976, this limited edition was finished in Platinum with colour-coded wheels, tweed seats and a three-spoke steering wheel with Ferry Porsche's signature embossed into it.
Capacity: 2687cc
Maximum Power: 175bhp @ 5800rpm
Maximum Torque: 235Nm @ 4000rpm
Brakes: Front: 282mm discs; rear: 290mm discs
Suspension: Front: MacPherson struts with telescopic dampers and torsion bar springs; rear: trailing wishbones with telescopic dampers and transverse torsion bar. Front and rear antiroll bars
Wheels & Tyres: Front: 15x6J with 185VR tyres. Rear: 15x6J with 185VR tyres
Weight: >1075kg
In 1975 a Silver Anniversary 911 was offered. 1063 examples of this silver-painted special were produced. Features included headlamp washers, uprated Blaupunkt radio, black trim, sports steering wheel and an uprated rear antiroll bar.

Snoopy drives a Farmall B!!
This flyer was an insert in a magazine I get...the magazine has NOTHING to do with tractors!
I'm not a collector, but my sister thinks I should get one as a hood ornament!!
Re: Snoopy drives a Farmall B!!
Website shows that to be the first of four. 4" high, so about 6" long I'm guessing. Tell your sisters' it'd make an early Christmas present.
Wow Dave! I'm glad you pointed that out! The GIANT BEAGLE setting in the driver's seat looks totally in proportion to the tractor!
I gave one some thought till I read the fine print. 4 inches tall means the tractor is only 2 inches tall since Snoopy doubles the height.

I didn't make it to the fine print. I was out at the big print of $39.99 plus $8.99 S&H and that there were three more in the series. They are nice and I hope those who buy them enjoy them but for me, $49 times four is more math than my wallet wants to do for a set of dust collectors. I already have enough dust!


The Champaign County Sheriff's Office confirms a male student was injured in a shooting on the grounds of West Liberty High School Friday morning. Another student suspected in the shooting is in custody.
Lt. Chris Copeland says the victim was taken to a hospital via helicopter, where he is now being treated.
The West Liberty-Salem Local School District superintendent says the shooting occurred as classes began Friday at the school complex roughly 45 miles northwest of Columbus.
Senior Ashley Rabenstein says she was in class down the hall from the shooting. She says her teacher threw desks against the door to block it, and students fled through the windows and ran to nearby houses to regroup.
Superintendent Kraig Hissong says teachers and students followed their emergency training.
Students were later bused away from the site so they could be picked up by their parents.
WOSU will follow this story through the day and provide updates as we receive them. The Associated Press contributed reporting to this story.
Former Pike County Sheriff's deputy Joel Jenkins wept and hugged family members on Tuesday after a jury announced it had found him not guilty of aggravated murder and reckless homicide charges in the 2015 shooting death of Robert Rooker.
Police in Columbus are investigating the capital city's first homicide of 2017 after an Ohio State University student was gunned down not far from campus.
Officers were dispatched to a home on Northwood Avenue around 12:30 a.m. Thursday following reports that a man was shot.


Elanwes son, Sorondil, is the illegitimate son of the deceased High Kinsman Rilis XII. Sorondil has come to these ruins to retrieve a great treasure. Elanwe asked me to protect her son. She said I can meet him in the ruins near the entrance to the vault.
Lady Elanwe: That silly, stupid boy. He's going to get himself killed.
Lady Elanwe: My son, Sorondil—scion of the last High Kinsman, Rilis the Twelfth. I... I was Rilis's mistress. And now my son risks his life for some fool treasure.
Lady Elanwe: He wants to prove himself to his ancestors. He thinks there's some sort of treasure deep in the vaults. Sor wants so badly to be a Rilis. I just want him to be safe. Please, will you look after him?
Lady Elanwe: We don't know each other, stranger. But you have a mother's gratitude for your kindness.
Hero: Can you tell me about the Rilis family?
Lady Elanwe: The high family of Firsthold, House Rilis has ruled this part of Auridon for centuries. In the past, it was known as a proud line of warriors. Until the last Rilis, that is.
Hero: Who was the last Rilis?
Lady Elanwe: Rilis the Twelfth. They called him a despot, a murderer. He communed with Daedra. Committed horrible acts in the depths of his palace. For his crimes, he's trapped here. In the banished cells beneath the castle.
Hero: Didn't he help found the Mages Guild?
Lady Elanwe: Ha! To hear him tell it, it was all his idea. Vanus Galerion, First Mage of Firsthold, was the real founder of the guild. Rilis just allowed him to do his work in the city. I heard rumors he even bargained with Galerion for access to Oblivion.
Hero: You were the mistress of a High Kinsmen?
Lady Elanwe: I was. I think I loved him. But the tales of Daedric power he was given ... even the power to control the minds of mer.... What if I never... what if I never really loved him?
Sorondil: Banished to Oblivion and the man still won't acknowledge me. Who are you?
Sorondil: Damn it! She doesn't think I can handle myself. I'm a Rilis! The blood of Auridon's greatest warriors flows in my veins.
Hero: She mentioned a treasure. What are you looking for?
Sorondil: The Rilis Helm. It imbues the wearer with the strength of a mighty warrior. It's the birthright of my family. Been in the Rilis line for generations—all the way back to Rilis the First.
Hero: I'll get it for you, for your mother's sake.
Sorondil: No! I mean. You can't. It's in the vault below us. The vault is shut fast by a trio of wards. Each ward is guarded by one of Rilis's loyal captains. And only I know how to lower the wards.
Hero: So I'll take out the captains, you take down the wards?
Sorondil: Fine. Fine. I'll even pay you for your time. Just remember, the helm will only work for a scion of house Rilis. It's no use to the likes of you. Let's go.
Sorondil: The vault is open. Are you ready?
Sorondil: Mother will stay here while we're down in the vault. We will fulfill my destiny!
Hero: Will your mother be safe up here?
Sorondil: We'll only be down there for a moment. And when I emerge with the helm, I'll be a powerful Rilis warrior. I'll be able to keep her safe for the rest of our lives!
Lady Elanwe: The guards are quiet again. Something's happened. Where's my son? Where's Sorondil?
Hero: I'm sorry, Elanwe. He's gone.
Lady Elanwe: Gone? How? What happened down there?
Hero: The helm's magic overwhelmed him and he attacked me. I had no choice. I had to kill him.
Lady Elanwe: You did what you could. I somehow knew it would end this way. Thank you for listening to a mother's plea. I'd like to be alone now.


Celebrating the 150th anniversary of Cournot's work, which Mark Blaug has characterized as "..a book that for sheer originality and boldness of conception has no equal in the history of economics thought," this volume focuses on the properties and uses of Cournot's model of competition among the few. While there are many issues that Cournot explored in researches into the mathematical principles of the theory of wealth, the topic that he is most readily associated with--and which now is also enjoying a revival--is his model of oligopolistic interaction among firms. This revivial of interest in Cournot's model is due largely to increased emphasis by economists on capturing elements of imperfect competition and strategic behavior.

Tea and Harrisburg team up for Legion ball
With low numbers on the horizon for both the Tea and Harrisburg Legion summer ball teams, the two towns decided to co-op for the 2018 summer baseball season and will play under the Harrisburg Legion name.
"Harrisburg had a bunch of graduating seniors last year and was worried about numbers for this summer," said Jay Wange, head coach of the Harrisburg Legion ball team. "John [Ratzloff] reached out to Tea to see if they were interested."
Tea was. In fact of the 16 players on the roster eight of them are from Tea. They include Nick Aeilts, Nick Abel, Cole Barthel, Alec Goldammer, Tom Fritz, Riley Schnider, Troy Ljunggren, and Dillon Cuppy.
Wange serves as the Activities Director for Adrian, MN and was approached by Ratzloff earlier in the year to serve as head coach; last summer he served as assistant to the Harrisburg Legion.
Wange began coaching summer ball 28 years ago when he served as Luverne's Legion coach for seven years. He then married and had children but continued to coach baseball everywhere they moved for their son, who has been diagnosed deaf and autistic.
Wange found success coaching in Sioux Falls, serving as coach of the 15-16 Sioux Falls West team, 15-16 Central team and the 15-16 East team. Wange helped lead these teams to two State titles and one runner-up honor.
Wange's passion for coaching is evident and he is excited for this summer season.
"That's the nice thing about this summer," he said. "With so many seniors graduating last year, I'm pretty sure our opponents are not thinking too highly about us this summer."
However, Wange feels that will be their mistake.
"After a few winter workouts and these first summer practices, we are extremely excited," said Wange. "I'm passionate about pitching, especially focusing on switching speeds and locations. Offensively, growing up a Twins' fan I play small ball—a ton of bunting, stealing, hitting and running, etc. Those two factors alone make me feel we should be competitive and exciting to watch every night out."
Wange will be assisted this year by Tea's Kurt Zabel.
New to the Legion games this year will be two seven-inning games played each night instead of just one nine-inning game. Wange is excited for the change and feels he will be able to give everyone a chance to start and/or play in the majority of games.
The team began their season last Friday, June 1 taking on Sioux Falls East. Sioux Falls East was victorious in both games, winning 6-0 in game one and 14-1 in game two. Harrisburg took on Mitchell on June 5 losing both games on walk offs, 2-1 and 11-10. Harrisburg will be in Yankton on Friday, June 8 where they will face off against Yankton at 10:30 a.m. and South Sioux City at 12:35 p.m. The team will still be in Yankton on Saturday, June 9, taking on Lincoln Southeast at 11:45 a.m. and Springfield Plattview at 3 p.m.
The Harrisburg Legion travels to Watertown on Tuesday, June 12 for a 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. game. They will take on Luverne on Wednesday, June 13 at Legion Park in Harrisburg at 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.


Yesterday my boys and I celebrated Reverend King's birthday. We talked about civil rights and God's view on skin color. We talked about how brave Dr. King was to keep persisting in his peaceful battle against inequality. It was truly a good day and so rewarding. I have taken a backseat role with homeschooling this year, leaning on the Abeka distance learning academy to teach my kids. It's been nice in some ways but I really miss those days where we can learn what we like in a less rigorous environment. Yesterday, we learned about history and bravery and God's golden rule. Treat others the way you want to be treated. It was so nice.
Then today happened. And boy did it happen with avengance. Everything was a disaster. Attitudes were horrible. Our little Jack was crying and terrorizing. The baby couldn't nap and started crying. One boy dissolved in tears in the middle of his spelling test (which he was doing very well on). It was a nightmare and I had to handle it on three hours of sleep. What. In. The. World!
So Andrew and I packed them up and took them to a state park. "It'll be fun," we roared, "get in the car!" When we arrived at the state park it was about 12 degrees and a horrifying Arctic wind whipped the snow like an ice wall in our faces. The sledding lasted 5 minutes. The crying in the car as the kids put in their snow gear lasted 15 minutes. The car ride was one hour there and one back. The toddler refused all food and screamed the entire trip.
Next time I will stay home and hide under my bed.
What was your all time worse parenting fail? Comment below because I need to know that other people have created disaster days dor their kids too.

The Neuroscience of Exercise
February 24, 2016 By David Leave a Comment
As the old cliché puts it — a healthy body equals a healthy mind. Everybody knows that exercise is good for both your physical and emotional wellbeing. It's not just an old saying — exercise changes the structure and function of the brain, and being active increases brain volume. Exercise also promotes adult neurogenesis — the creation of new brain. So getting your daily exercise is important. The real question is: are some activities better than others?
Surprisingly enough, new research suggests that may be the case. It's early days still — especially as the research was done using rats — but the results are fascinating. This is the first time scientists have compared the neurological effects of different kinds of exercise — and you might be pleased to hear that you don't need the toughest exercises to get the best results.
In studies with animals, running has been found to double or even triple the number of new neurons in the animals' hippocampus — a key area for learning and memory. Scientists believe that exercise has similar effects on people.
In the past, scientists have focused on running — after all, rats know how to run. That means other forms of exercise were not studied. But recently, researchers at the University of Jyvaskyla in Finland and other institutions gave different workout regimes to adult male rats. Some ran on wheels, others tried weight training. If you're picturing rats lifting dumb bells, I'm sorry to disappoint you — the rats climbed walls with weights attached to their tails. A third group did high-intensity interval training. The rats were placed on wheels and made to run at a fast pace for three minutes, followed by two minutes of moderate jogging. This was repeated three times for a total of fifteen minutes — which is a pretty strenuous workout for a rodent. A fourth group of rats did no exercise at all — like many of us are prone to do.
After seven weeks the scientists examined the rats' brains and found different exercises produced different levels of neurogenesis. The rats that ran showed significantly more new neurons than their couch potato friends, and unsurprisingly, the more they ran, the more new neurons they had gained. The runners also had more new neurons than the rats who had tried the high-intensity interval training — a lot more. This group had greater neurogenesis than the sedentary rats, but a lot less than the runners. As for the weight training rats — well, they got stronger, but that's all.
Why running is the best at promoting the growth of new brain cells is not clear. Scientists speculate that sustained running stimulates the release of a brain-derived neurotrophic factor or BDNF, which is known to regulate neurogenesis. The more a rat runs, the more BDNF is released.
The findings are certainly intriguing and suggest that sustained aerobic exercise may be the most important for human brains too.
Of course, rats are not people — and since rats have a greater need to run than develop muscles, the results may not be reproduced with humans. Even so, adding a bit of running to your exercise regime is probably a good idea!

Breathe Easy – Avoid Vaping Illnesses
Photo by Itay Kabalo
By Elizabeth Miller on September 9, 2019
You may have seen recent news that many states are experiencing an outbreak of severe pulmonary (lung) disease associated with using vaping devices/e-cigarette products. While no cases have been reported in our state, the Washington State Department of Health wants Washingtonians to have the information they need to make safe and healthy choices.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have launched a multi-state investigation into a recent outbreak of severe pulmonary disease that has been associated with the use of e-cigarette or vaping device products.
For information on cases and updates on the investigation visit the CDC.
Again, no cases have been reported in Washington state to date.
At this point, no specific product or cause has been identified, but all reported cases have a history of vaping device use.
With a growing number of vaping-related illnesses reported around the country, Washington state officials are urging clinicians to report any known hospitalized cases of severe pulmonary disease associated with vaping to their local health department.
Your health:
Vaping devices — also known as JUULs, e-cigarettes, e-cigs, vapes, e-hookahs, vape pens, mods, tanks, or electronic nicotine delivery systems — can contain nicotine, marijuana, or other substances like flavors.
Nicotine and marijuana can be harmful in any form, and these products should be avoided by youth, young adults, and pregnant or nursing women.
If you use vaping devices, monitor yourself for symptoms (e.g., cough, shortness of breath, chest pain) and promptly seek medical attention if you have concerns about your health. If you are concerned about your health after using an e-cigarette product, you can also call the Washington Poison Center at 1–800–222–1222.
If you do use e-cigarette products, you should not buy these products off the street (for example, e-cigarette products with THC or other cannabinoids).
You should not modify e-cigarette products or add any substances to these products that are not intended by the manufacturer.
Is Quitting Tabacco Really THAT Hard?
Adults who use tobacco products who are attempting to quit should use evidence-based treatments, including counseling and FDA-approved medications. If you need help quitting tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, contact your doctor or other medical provider.
Follow these links for resources and support if you or someone you know is trying to quit tobacco or marijuana.

Kevin Conroy, Defining Voice of Batman, Dies at 66; DC, Mark Hamill 'Deeply Saddened'
Kevin Conroy, the prolific voice actor whose gravely supply on "Batman: The Animated Sequence" was for a lot of Batman followers the definitive sound of the Caped Crusader, has died at 66.
Conroy died Thursday after a battle with most cancers, sequence producer Warner Bros. introduced Friday.
Conroy was the voice of Batman on the acclaimed animated sequence that ran from 1992-1996, typically appearing reverse Mark Hamill's Joker. Conroy continued on as the virtually unique animated voice of Batman, together with some 15 movies, 400 episodes of tv and two dozen video video games, together with the "Batman: Arkham" and "Injustice" franchises.
Within the eight-decade historical past of Batman, nobody performed the Darkish Knight extra.
"For a number of generations, he has been the definitive Batman," Hamill in a press release. "It was a kind of excellent situations the place they bought the precise proper man for the fitting half, and the world was higher for it."
"He'll at all times be my Batman," Hamill stated.
Conroy's recognition with followers made him a sought-after character on the conference circuit. Within the typically tumultuous world of DC Comics, Conroy was a mainstay and extensively beloved. In a press release, Warner Bros. Animation stated Conroy's efficiency "will perpetually stand among the many biggest portrayals of the Darkish Knight in any medium."
"Kevin introduced a light-weight with him in every single place, whether or not within the recording sales space giving it his all or feeding first-responders throughout 9/11 or ensuring each fan who ever waited for him had a second with their Batman," stated Paul Dini, producer of the animated present. "A hero in each sense of the phrase."
DC Comics wrote: "DC is deeply saddened on the passing of Kevin Conroy, a legendary actor and the voice of Batman for a number of generations. He will likely be perpetually missed by his associates, household, and followers."

— DC (@DCComics) November 11, 2022
Born in in Westbury, New York, and raised in Westport, Connecticut, Conroy began out as well-trained theater actor. He attended Juilliard and roomed with Robin Williams. After graduating, he toured with John Houseman's appearing group, the Appearing Firm. He carried out in "A Midsummer Night time's Dream" on the Public Theater and in "Jap Normal" on Broadway. On the Outdated Globe Theatre in San Diego, California, he carried out in "Hamlet."
The 1980s manufacturing of "Jap Normal," wherein Conroy performed a TV producer secretly dwelling with AIDS, had specific that means to him. Conroy, who was homosexual, stated on the time he was frequently attending funerals for associates who died of AIDS. He poured out his anguish nightly on stage.
In 1980, Conroy moved to Los Angeles, started appearing in cleaning soap operas and booked appearances on TV sequence together with "Cheers," "Tour of Responsibility" and "Murphy Brown." In 1991, when casting director Andrea Romano was scouting her lead actor for "Batman: The Animated Sequence," she went by means of a whole bunch of auditions earlier than Conroy got here in. He was there on a buddy's suggestion — and solid instantly.
Conroy started the position with none background in comics and as a novice in voice appearing. His Batman was husky, brooding and darkish. His Bruce Wayne was mild and dashing. His inspiration for the contrasting voices, he stated, got here from the 1930s movie, "The Scarlet Pimpernel," about an English aristocrat who leads a double life.
"It's a lot enjoyable as an actor to sink your tooth into," Conroy advised The New York Occasions in 2016. "Calling it animation doesn't do it justice. It's extra like mythology."
As Conroy's efficiency developed through the years, it generally linked to his personal life. Conroy described his personal father as an alcoholic and stated his household disintegrated whereas he was in highschool. He channeled these feelings into the 1993 animated movie "Masks of the Illusion," which revolved round Bruce Wayne's unsettled points together with his dad and mom.
"Andrea got here in after the recording and grabbed me in a hug," Conroy advised The Hollywood Reporter in 2018. "Andrea stated, 'I don't know the place you went, however it was a lovely efficiency.' She knew I used to be drawing on one thing."
Conroy is survived by his husband, Vaughn C. Williams, sister Trisha Conroy and brother Tom Conroy.
In "Discovering Batman," launched earlier this yr, Conroy penned a comic book about his unlikely journey with the character and as a homosexual man in Hollywood.
"I've typically marveled as how applicable it was that I ought to land this position," he wrote. "As a homosexual boy rising up within the 1950s and '60s in a devoutly Catholic household, I'd grown adept at concealing components of myself."
The voice that emerged from Conroy for Batman, he stated, was one he didn't acknowledge — a voice that "appeared to roar from 30 years of frustration, confusion, denial, love, craving."
"I felt Batman rising from deep inside."

"Da Ponte Pra Cá" é uma canção do grupo brasileiro de rap Racionais MC's, lançada no álbum Nada Como um Dia Após o Outro Dia, em 2002.

Canção
A música "Da Ponte Pra Cá" foi lançada no álbum Nada Como um Dia Após o Outro Dia, sendo a última faixa do segundo lado do CD (Ri Depois). Voltou a aparecer quatro anos depois, fazendo também parte do disco 1000 Trutas, 1000 Tretas e do DVD ao vivo homonômio.

A música é considerada uma das melhores do grupo pelos fãs, e tenta mostrar a desigualdade social existente entre a classe rica e a pobre.

Também serviu para demonstrar o preconceito e a hipocrisia que existe contra os que moram nos bairros situados após a ponte João Dias, como por exemplo o Parque Santo Antônio, Capão Redondo e Jardim Ângela.

Round 12 : Ch 3 (counts as first dc), dc in each st around. Join with a slipstitch around ch 3 as if to front post.
Wind the yarn around the paperback book (the 4.25" way) 30-40 times. Cut the yarn, thread yarn through a yarn needle and pass the needle under all the loops. Tie the end of the yarn firmly around the loops. Slide the yarn off the book and cut the loops opposite the tie. Wind the end of yarn around all the loops below the fold and fasten securely. Pass the needle through the top and use the end to sew the tassel in place at the top corner of the hat. Trim the ends neatly.
Very nice - I also hate seaming!! so pointless when you can do without them!!
I have a hat crazy GD need I say more :) thanks once again for sharing.
Hello! I love this hat, and am wanting to make one for my goddaughter. I'm very new beginner, so bare with me. But I am confused! Haha. I did the larger size, and chained 28, but where do I join it to make a ring/round? And it was way to small even when I did the chain 28 if I did join it, so I think I'm missing something. My email is nikki.m.martin@tmail.com. Thanks!!!
The begining cahin isn't joined into a ring. Notice it doesn't say anything about joining into a ring.
You crochet on one side of the chain and then around and on the other side.
Just do it and you will see how it starts to take shape.
does this mean hat is not really worked into rounds? its worked left to right? is it starting at top of hat or bottom? not sure what you mean by working on one side of chain and then on other. does this mean i'm working top of chain and bottom? not left to right?
It is worked in rounds starting at the top. You work in the chain in the usual manner, then work around the end and up the other side of the chain.
Hi Suzetta. I would like to try to make one of these tassel hats for a newborn. Approximately how many should I chain so the hat is more suited for a newborn?
I would use sports weight yarn and a G hook, then make the smalelr size. Good luck.
I think you are very talented. I love to crochet. I have a very large family. some in the state and some out of the state. right now I am working on this pattern for my cousins daughter they live in Buffalo Ny.I think that she would be so cute in this hat. I have fallen in love with this patterns. This is the second patterns that i have made from your site. Thanks for posting you have done a great job...!!!
I think you are very talented. I am making this pattern for my cousins daughter. I do not get to see them they live out of state. I hope she likes it. I have made a different pattern i am very impressed with how easy they are. Thank you again...!!!
Clever, did you line it with fabric?
Any tips on how to increase the size of the hat so that it fits an adult? I want to make one for myself :-) Is it a matter of increasing the number of rows or the beginning number of chains or both?
I'd start with 30 chains. Probably will need more rounds as well. But you can tell by trying it on, since it is for yourself.
This is a great pattern!!! However, I am confused how you get 50 sc in the first round when there were 23 to begin with?
Love this! Worked up in a day! I also thought of a little matching purse.

The Best Players in US WNT History: Who's #4?
by The Yank on May 14, 2009
Her Story: I know what you're thinking. How does Julie Foudy miss out on the top three? Well, again, that's just how darn good the WNT has been over the last two decades. Foudy grew up in California and she would go on to serve as the WNT's Co-Captain from 1991-2000 and Captain from 2000-2004. She was the team's emotional leader for years.
Her Stats: Foudy is third all-time in appearances with 272, ninth in goals with 45, and fourth in assists with 59. She was also a tenacious defender, and I won't hesitate to say she was one of the most "complete" players in WNT history, meaning she was equally good on offense and defense. While her offensive stats aren't huge, you can't measure her D.
Her Trophies: Foudy played in four WCs (1991, 1995, 1999, 2003) and played a good deal in all four, including the two wins. She also won Gold at the 1996 and 2004 Olympics. Thus, few others players have won as many trophies as Foudy. Since her playing days ended, she has become a fantastic announcer, and I think she should call MNT games.
Her Legacy: Foudy never had the most gaudy stats, but she led by example and she was one of the WNT's best assist artists ever. She could also hunker down in defense, making her perhaps the greatest "box to box" player in WNT history. I really do wish ESPN would let her call MNT games, as it would be amazing to see a woman calling men's games from the skybox and not the sidelines. I think she's good enough to do it, too, but even if they never give her the chance, she still has influenced generations of girls by showing them true leadership on and off the pitch.

Yerry Fernando Mina González, mais conhecido como Mina (Guachené, 23 de setembro de 1994), é um futebolista colombiano que atua como zagueiro. Atualmente defende o .

Em 2018, Mina entrou para a história das Copas por ter sido o primeiro zagueiro, desde 1966, a marcar 3 gols de cabeça numa mesma edição do torneio. Além disso, ele foi o segundo jogador colombiano a marcar em 3 partidas consecutivas e o não-europeu com mais gols na edição.

Carreira

Deportivo Pasto
Yerry fez a sua estreia como profissional em 20 de março de 2013, aos 18 anos de idade, atuando pelo Deportivo Pasto numa partida válida pela Copa Colômbia, contra o Deportivo Cali. Fez parte da campanha do Deportivo Pasto na Copa Sul-Americana de 2013, em que sua equipe passaram à fase eliminatória. Ele marcou seu primeiro gol com a camisa do Pasto no Torneio Finalización do Campeonato Colombiano, em 18 de outubro de 2013 num empate por 2 a 2 contra o Atletico Huila, marcando de cabeça após uma bola parada.

Independiente Santa Fé
No fim de 2013, Mina acertou sua ida para o Independiente Santa Fe, que disputaria em 2014 a Copa Libertadores. Fez sua estréia pelo Santa Fe em 24 de janeiro de 2014, num jogo contra o Águilas Doradas, ganho pelo time de Santa Fe por 3 a 0.

Na temporada 2015, Mina se consolidou como titular no esquema tático do técnico Gustavo Costas. Marcou um gol na partida de volta da Superliga contra o Atlético Nacional, dando ao Independiente o título. Posteriormente, marcaria outro gol na histórica goleada sobre o Colo-Colo, do Chile, na fase de grupos da Copa Libertadores de 2015, em que obteve destaque e levando o time até as quartas de final da competição, onde caiu para o Internacional.

No segundo semestre de 2015, Mina já se havia consolidado como peça chave do elenco, também sendo considerado como uma das maiores promessas do futebol sul-americano. Titular indiscutível na equipe campeã da Copa Sul-americana de 2015, o defensor colombiano foi convocado para um torneio preparatório da Seleção Colombiana Sub-23 para as Olímpíadas de 2016. Em 11 de fevereiro de 2016, marcou pela primeira vez na sua carreira dois gols numa mesma partida contra o Oriente Petrolero, pela primeira fase da Copa Libertadores da América de 2016, partida vencida por 3 a 0.

Palmeiras

Em 1º de maio de 2016, o Palmeiras anunciou a compra dos direitos econômicos de Yerry Mina, assinando um contrato por cinco anos, porém o jogador permanecera no Independiente até o fim do campeonato colombiano, em maio. Ele fez sua estréia pelo clube em 4 de julho, na vitória por 3 a 1 sobre o Sport Recife. Seu primeiro gol pelo Palmeiras, foi marcado no jogo seguinte, em um empate por 1 a 1 contra o Santos. Mina, entretanto, foi substituído pouco antes do final do primeiro tempo devido a uma lesão aparente que havia deixado o defensor em lágrimas quando saiu do campo em uma maca. Em 13 de julho, foi confirmado que Mina não se recuperaria a tempo para os Jogos Olímpicos de 2016, com a expectativa da lesão estimado em 6 a 8 semanas.

Após retornar de lesão, Mina marcou gols em São Paulo e Corinthians, conseguindo em apenas 1 ano, marcar gols em cada um dos rivais do Palmeiras, e ganhou destaque na internet, depois de exibir sua dança em suas comemorações.

Mina sempre foi um atleta muito alegre e descontraído, e sua marca registrada é sua comemoração de gols bem irreverentes desde os tempos de Santa fé. Sua principal dança é a salsa choque, que ele aprendeu dançar com sua família.

Pelo Verdão, manteve a escrita, tanto com jogos seguros quanto com gols (marcou inclusive contra os rivais Santos, São Paulo e Corinthians). Em sua primeira temporada no Palestra Itália, colecionou também convocações para a seleção principal de seu país

No final do ano, Mina se sagrou campeão brasileiro com o Palmeiras e ainda fez parte da melhor defesa do torneio.

Mina havia sofrido uma lesão muscular na partida contra o Vitória, quando o Palmeiras já era campeão. Portanto, o zagueiro recebeu mais dias de férias do que seus companheiros, voltando apenas na partida contra o Linense, pelo campeonato paulista, na qual seu time venceu por 4 a 0.

Na segunda rodada da libertadores, o Palmeiras empatava com o Jorge Wilstermann por 0x0 até os 50 do segundo tempo, quando Mina completou o cruzamento de Roger Guedes e fez o gol da vitória. Mina voltou a marcar na libertadores no jogo contra o Peñarol, ajudando a sua equipe a vencer por 3 a 2 em um jogo marcado por muita confusão.

Viu sua equipe ser eliminada do paulista ainda nas semifinais, mas isso não o suficiente para apagar sua boa atuação no campeonato como um todo, chegando a entrar na seleção do campeonato.

Barcelona
No dia 8 de janeiro de 2018 o Barcelona exerceu a prioridade de compra que havia sido adquirida no momento da transferência do jogador do  para o , o custo total da transferência para os catalães foi de 12,3 milhões de euros. No dia seguinte, o Barcelona confirmou a contratação de Mina, que assinará contrato até junho de 2023. Fez sua estréia em 8 de fevereiro, na vitória do Barcelona por 2 a 0 sobre o Valência, em uma partida válida pelas semifinais da Copa do Rei da Espanha.

Everton
Em 9 de agosto de 2018, assinou por cinco temporadas com o .
