National Wal-Mart Crime Problem No Different in Gainesville
By Cecilia Mazanec and Grace Kenny
December 22, 2017	Law and public safety, Untold Florida: Your Neighborhood, Your Story
Officers from the Gainesville Police Department aren't frequenting local Wal-Mart stores for their "always low prices."
Crime incident data for the past two years downloaded from the city of Gainesville's open data site shows the top locations with the most reported incidents in 2017 were Gainesville's three Wal-Mart stores.
Shoplifting is the most common type of incident. On average, police get about six crime-related calls a week, or not quite one a day, at the Waldo Road Wal-Mart.
But if an officer is on a shoplifting call, said Officer Ben Tobias, the GPD spokesperson, it's time that the officer cannot be doing his or her other duties, like patrolling a neighborhood for residential burglaries or enforcing traffic to reduce speeds on roadways.
"Sometimes it's very frustrating when we're stuck doing that all the time," he said. "The officers at work there just do not have time to go out of those areas because of the increase in shoplifting."
The data comes from the GPD's dispatch system and was last updated on Dec. 6, 2017. After repairing inconsistencies like spelling and addresses to give accurate accounts of location, it was filtered to only include incidents initially categorized as crimes, such as shoplifting, the most common reported incident at the Wal-Mart stores. This excludes calls for service for activities that are not criminal, like lost property or a request for assistance.
Of all locations, the three Wal-Mart stores in Gainesville had the most of these reported incidents in 2017, with the Wal-Mart Supercenter at 1800 NE 12th Ave., off Waldo Road, having the most, followed by the store at 5700 NW 23rd St. and then the store at 2900 SW 42nd St., which opened in summer 2016. In 2016, the first two topped the list.
"We're constantly, daily, investigating cases of shoplifting there and some other incidents," Tobias said. Using the number of reported incidents from the store off Waldo Road, there were on average about six incidents per week in 2017.
Tobias said he's noticed the frequent calls at that store since its opening. Sometimes for shoplifting cases, he said, police officers make multiple appearances a day.
Because officers need to take the time to arrive, investigate the security video and go through the processes of arresting, transporting and filling out paperwork, he said that's at least two hours spent per call.
"So the other officers in that sector are having to just kind of expand their patrols a little bit more, knowing that that officer that is assigned at the Wal-Mart in their zone is kind of tied up," he said.
Calls are prioritized. So if a high-priority call occurred, detailing something like a shooting or stabbing, that call can preempt the shoplifting call.
But why Wal-Mart?
Richard Hollinger, a UF professor emeritus in the Department of Sociology and Criminology & Law, said high crime at Wal-Mart is a national problem.
It seems Gainesville is no different.
Hollinger said it's a function of being the largest store and the largest chain in Gainesville. It's not that Wal-Mart is discriminating on certain individuals, but rather that as the biggest retail store in town, they become the biggest potential victims of retail crime.
As for the Wal-Mart Supercenter on 12th Avenue, "If that Wal-Mart store was on the other side of I-75, out where the property crime rates are a lot lower," Hollinger said, "then I would imagine you would not see those same kind of rates."
But it's a catch-22, he said. With the customer base located in that area and good traffic flow on the nearby streets, it's an ideal location for a huge store. The downside is that that side of town, he said, has more property crime, as well as crime in general.
As for the effect of police, Hollinger used a metaphor of fishing, one he used when he taught criminology. He likens fish to crime and fishermen to police.
"If you have a lot of fish in the water, and you put more fishermen on those fish and you put more line on the water and more bait on the water, you're going to catch more fish," he said. "Now does that necessarily mean that that particular spot has more crime — or more fish using that metaphor? Not necessarily."
Ragan Dickens, a Wal-Mart spokesperson, said the company is aware of the crime issues its stores across the country have faced.
"It's simply a situation that we have recognized," he said. "Wal-Mart and really no other retailer is immune to this challenge of crime."
Dickens said for the Gainesville Wal-Mart on 12th Avenue, the key to reducing reported crime is cooperation with Gainesville police.
"For this store particularly, we are aware of the police involved," he said. "We're working there with local law enforcement to try to deter crime so those call numbers do drop."
Tobias said the department has tried before to reach out to Wal-Mart corporate and Wal-Mart management to make improvements.
"But large corporations like that have built-in buffers of loss," he said. "They know that they're going to lose a certain amount of money, and to you and me it's a giant number and to them it's a very low number."
But according to Hollinger, the Wal-Mart Supercenter off Waldo Road can't be blamed for its high crime numbers.
"It's not Wal-Mart's fault," he added. "Wal-Mart just happens to be at the wrong place at the wrong time."

Meredith Medland Sasseen
Episode 17: Meredith Gives Quick Review of Episodes 1-8
Meredith takes you on a short description of each episode, a few highlights and what she loved and learned about her guests. If you're looking for a quick overview so that you can download more great episodes, take a listen to this quick segment to be sure get some of the greatest green content.
EcoWisdom Part 1: A Brief Overview of Episodes 1-8 – a Guide through the Series
Announcer: This program is brought to you by personallifemedia.com
Meredith Medland: Welcome to living green my name is Meredith Medland and I am your host. In todays episode, we will be reviewing episodes one through eight I'm just gonna give you some quick guidelines as to what has been spoken about on those shows and give you some guidance so you know what to download. We're gonna get started quickly right away.
Meredith Medland: So you say, organic leather? Whats going on with that well its all about the chemicals that are used in tanneries. Richard lube and I discuss Nature Deficit Disorder yes indeed this is yet another one of those disorders that have been named. Most interesting about my conversation with Dan, is his kundalini yoga practice. You wanna combine green and technology and talk about Eco-cities of.. there's a radical new bay area collective happening called Calafia. Susanne takes us through a guided meditation of earth, wind, fire, and water. She talks to us about creating sacred spaces in our homes.
Meredith Medland: In episode number one, I in interviewed Roanne Gabriel. Roanne Gabriel is the founder of Organicleather.com. So you say, Organic leather? What's going on with that? It's about the chemicals that's in tanneries. So Chrome, is actually one of the chemicals that is used in tanneries. And what is most interesting about what I learned about organic leather, is that in the eighteenth century, there were tanneries all over the united states. They were moved abroad in the nineteenth century, and currently, right now, the EPA has a listing of the top ten most toxic sites in the United States.
Meredith Medland: Those sites happen to be the places where there were tanneries, so we may see a rise in Eco-Fashion. Roanne tells us tons about her Eco-fashion show which happened in Hollywood, California, as well as her involvement with a new social media network for people living lifestyles of health and sustainability. And that social media network is called Urthtv. and Roanne is always very inspiring, she has a British accent, I just, really love speaking with her. and we talk about steaming nettle soup, and all sorts of fun things. So definitely a good episode to download if you're interested in fashion.
Meredith Medland: In episode two, Richard Lube and I discuss Nature Deficit Disorder. Yes indeed, this is yet another one of those disorders thats been named. But this one is due to children not getting outside. So, in this episode, we talk a lot about, tips for parents, and what you can do to play games with your kids outside, and get them more interested in the outdoors. And what Richard Lube believes, is that childhood obesity and add and some of the other things that are impacting our children, are definitely going to be decreased the more we bring our children outside.
Meredith Medland: He gives lots of related links, and sites that we can visit. one of the most important things that he says in the episode, is that it's not so much naming the plants, or the different wild life that we might see when we're with children outside but really enriching them with the feeling of being alive and out doors. And its that feeling that builds memories, and memories are us reminding us of our state of our natural environment and making us feel alive and feel good when we're in our homes. So that, that interview was really lovely for me it reminded me of growing up on a lake in Menasha, Wisconsin and it was really beautiful.
Meredith Medland: In Episode three, I spoke with Dan Ruben. Dan Ruben is the executive director of Green Boston tours. What was most interesting about my conversation with Dan actually was his kundalini yoga practice. And he spoke about how his yoga practice influenced his ability to perceive, and enjoy his natural environment. He gave lots of specific stories about how he noticed the facial expressions on his family members and he was more engaged with people on a conversational basis. He said it was kind of like having the, "Windshield Wiped clean". And what he found was that during the moments of stillness or "peace" that he experienced in his yoga practice was that he was reminded of the times that he was in nature and experienced stillness.
Meredith Medland: So that might have been the calm, or the seagull, or the leaves in the woods. It was a really neat episode, and I like how he pulls in that living green to him is really about exploring his spirit through his yoga practice. We of course talk about the boston greening, the boston conference center, and other business activities as well. So that was just one of my favorite moments.
Meredith Medland: In episode four, I get a chance to speak with Michael Gosney. And Michael Gosney is a great love of mine, he is a very very intellectual man. So if you're the kind of person who is, "I don't know about this touchy feely, out in the nature environment". If you want to combine green, and technology, and talk about Eco-cities, there's a radical new bay area collective happening called Calafia. Michael Gosney tells us all about that, he gives a chronological order about where the green movement has been, where its headed he uses facts and figures. And he's really really involved in the evolution he's taking things to burning man, and he's just an extraordinary man very well spoken. This is definitely, a very intellectually stimulating episode.
Meredith Medland: We're gonna take a short break right now, to thank our sponsors. Just love our sponsors. And when we get back from the break, I'm gonna tell you about Tierra Del Forte, Susanne Sterling, Leslie Nagy, and Sarah Hanes. Thanks so much for listening to Living Green.
Woman2: Listen to coaching the life coach, business and marketing strategies for growth of transformational practices. With Jason Mclaine, your guide in the twenty first century market place. On Personalifemedia.com.
Meredith Medland: Welcome back, you're listening to living green. My name is Meredith Medland as I promised I'm going to tell you about episode number five of Living Green. In episode five I interviewed, Tierra Del Forte, of Del forte Denim. This was a particularly fun episode because tierra took a leap in her late twenties and early thirties and decided to go for it. She was a fashion designer, and loved denim, and decided Eco-Denim was the way to go, Eco-Fashion. And now, she's got Tyra Banks and Helen Nerum wearing her jeans.
Meredith Medland: She's hit the celebrity circuit, Del forte is in many different magazines. She's got a place in Berkley, which is where all her jean manufacturing takes place. And not only does she inspire us, to feel the difference between organic cotton when it comes in jean form, but also to really get educated about organic cotton. And the chemicals that farmers exposed to in the process. It will really change the way that you think about jeans, and it will also inspire you id you're an entrepreneur looking for your next passion to come alive.
Meredith Medland: Episode six. in episode six Susanne Sterling takes us on a mystical journey. She's a musician she's performed on stage at earth dance and many other events, and she's also a very progressive ritualist. So this episode is much different than say episode four, with Michael Gosney. Susanne takes us through a guided meditation of earth, wind, fire, water. She talks to us about sacred spaces in our homes, she does a meditation, talks about her yoga practice. This episode is rich with tones, and deep audio qualities, and its evocative. It's inspiring, and uplifting and it's certainly one that I love. I've listened to it many times, and there's lots of lessons and good spiritual earth mama kinda stuff. Alright moving on.
Meredith Medland: Episode seven is with Leslie Nagy. Leslie Nagy is a celebrity green reporter. She has a show and debate area but it also runs on youtube, and its also syndicated. It's a two minute environmental green show. And Leslie is full of tips and tricks so if you are looking to change your home or change your lifestyle as it relates to whats happening with you from an Eco Standpoint this is the episode to listen to. She goes down the list, from water bottles, and why stainless steel bottles are better.
Meredith Medland: She makes a big plea for everyone to bring their own bag to the grocery store, and she's inspiring and uplifting. she's got so much positive energy, she slots in some great stories about interviews that she's had with Robert Kennedy Jr and Ed Bagley Jr. And runs down the gamet. She talks about her red carpet experience, and she's a red carpet junket reporter. A Hollywood reporter. So thats another one thats very inspiring. She and I had a great time connecting over those ten cents recyclable bottles. I'm from Wisconsin, and she's from Michigan and we reminisced about our childhood. About how we were incented to recycle at a very early age. And how much thats changed over the years, so if you like eco-tips. That's a good one to listen too.
Meredith Medland: In Episode eight, we get a chance to talk to sarah hanes. Now this episode is also qutie differen tthan the others, Sarah gives us insite into what it's been like being a pioneer in the process of greening events. Sarah is very down into the network of Julia Butterfly Hill, Woody Harrelson, Darrell Hanna, The Red Hot Chili Peppers. So she's the behind the scenes celebrity, she's the person that these people call and say, "We really really need an eco-event for real". And the most interesting thing that sarah shares in her episode is the process that she goes through as she's creating something.
Meredith Medland: What she is moved and passionate about doing is creating something new every time she takes on a gig. So she's not developing lets say a, "cycle" and then just selling and repeating, selling and repeating. But something very very new, and different. She gets really really excited about a project about a project with Darrel Hanna and Virgin Atlantic's. And that's exciting to learn about that. She's direct and forward, and of course she's got lots of good celebrity stories. So if you have an affinity for Julia Butterfly Hill, and big music events, and conferences, she's a great episode to listen to. And just a wonderful woman as well.

Osipov on the Fundamentals of Theology, held in the Sretenskaya Theological Seminary on September 13, 2000. Pasturages and chestnut-forests clothe their base; eternal snows crown their summits. His former experience of it must have taught him that instead of being the easiest to settle of the many matters he had on hand, it was precisely the one of all others the most difficult. Often, there are prayers to fit specific occasions, such as the blessing of a meal, the birth or death of a loved one, other significant events in the life of a believer, or days of the year that have special religious significance.
The rewards of justification are set before him who is still guilty of sin, for he is justified who voluntarily confesses his own sin; and lastly, "the just man is his own accuser in the beginning of his speaking." The resolutions criticize and censure, with much acerbity, the action of the United States Congress, and of the Supreme Court, for the invading the rights of the people by closing the World's Fair on Sunday. Rather than building unity, these unofficial texts have tended to further divide otherwise orthodox Anglicans and add to the liturgical cacophony.
Numerically the Reformed Church is to-day by far the stronger (see above II, � 4). Descended from a noble family, of good address, and a man of affairs, Briconnet was sent by Francis I. on a mission to Rome. Saint Peter also doth instruct you very well, thus saying; Ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the Word, they also may without the Word be won by the conversation of the wives; while they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
The flames were still blazing around the martyr; has limbs were dropping off, his face was growing fearfully livid, but his eye, unchanged, was still looking at the king; and the king felt as if, with Medusa-power, it was changing him into stone. The Roman Catholic Church protests that it transferred Christian worship from the biblical Sabbath (Saturday) to Sunday, and that to try to argue that the change was made in the Bible is both dishonest and a denial of Catholic authority.
He is not zealous for the introducing of old uselesse Ceremonies. Luke 10:16 Powerful words from the mouth of Jesus Christ to his disciples, the leaders of His Church. Endowments, churches, schools, convents have been confiscated, yet the spirit lives. There is much more that needs to be said (some of which is more egregious than elements mentioned thus far) but this essay is meant to serve as a brief analysis. He at first charged Coligny with being privy to the murder, and afterwards denied it.
However, due to the fact that the Church of England is a state church, it was required for the proposed revision to go before Parliament, who rejected it in December of that year. The 1662 prayer book was printed but two years after the restoration of the monarchy, and, given the mildly Catholic leanings of these two rulers, the 1662 was surprisingly Protestant for the time. Puritanism is the set of religious beliefs and practices retroactively ascribed to Puritans by modern scholars.
They disdained to buy their lives by apostacy; and now the sword, which had hung for five years above their heads, fell with crushing force. The yet more illustrious son of Pepin, Charlemagne, had to repeat this service in the Pope's behalf. And also recall that (as I say, occasionally) I don't try to make anyone think like an Anglican. To the Puritans, a person by nature was wholly sinful and could achieve good only by severe and unremitting discipline.
He sold them to the Bullers, Mohuns and Trelawnys, and William Winslade an impoverished Catholic exile, led a walking life with his harp to gentleman's houses. Even murder, very arguably the worst thing you can do to someone, is sometimes justified. Where is the verse which authorized them to break from the true Church in the first place? 3) No Protestant can show that their church was founded by Jesus Christ, yet Scripture says there is only one Church, the one founded by GOD (Psalms 127:1, Matthew 16:18). 4) They deny that the Catholic Church is the Church which Jesus Christ founded, yet they cannot name the Church which He did found in its stead.
The main body of Puritans, the Presbyterians (see Presbyterianism ), favored a central church government, whereas the separatists, Independents or Congregationalists (see Congregationalism ), defined the church as any autonomous congregation of believers, emphasized the point that one could arrive at one's own conclusions in religion, and opposed a national, comprehensive church. They restore us, though we often destroy them. Winfrey, is a Western Rite Orthodox revision of the St.
Especially did this necessity appeal to Philip, Landgrave of Hesse. A middle path was devised, which tided over the emperor's difficulty, and gave a three years' liberty to the Church. And the footing the Gospel had already obtained in that land seemed to warrant these great expectations. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." Pp.275-296 comprise 'The Bishop of Exon's caution' and pp.297-317 'The confession of sins and the power of absolution', both with a separate titlepag London: printed for Charles Rivington, 1722.

There is no better time to consider offshoring to the Philippines. This is especially true for the booming retail industry that is consistently in the forefront of new business innovations. The upcoming holiday shopping season is a busy time, but it's never a slow day in the retail industry.
As the industry becomes more global and accessible, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by it. Both the global scale and consistent demand from consumers can be challenging to take on. This is why retailers – of all sizes – are offshoring to the Philippines. They see the value of offshoring to the Philippines and why working with Filipinos is vital to their success.
The BPO industry plays a significant part in the Philippine economy. It is the second biggest contributor to the country's GDP and is poised to become the biggest in the next few years. The Philippine government recognizes this and continues to be supportive of the industry. They set up economic zones to aid businesses in developing and prospering around the country. In 2017, a Tholons report said that, when it came to talent, skill and quality, the Philippines was the best destination to get all of these.
Part of the reason the BPO industry remains strong in the Philippines is rooted in its history. The industry first gained traction in 1992 when Accenture established itself in the country. Since then, different companies call the Philippines their outsourcing and offshoring destination of choice. There are now also a wider range of industries that are now offshoring and outsourcing ever since it started. These range from your typical industries – from finance to IT – to surprising ones that were unheard of only a few years ago, such as construction and healthcare.
Construction companies are now able to offshore a draftsperson to be part of their team.
In turn, both the BPO industry and the country evolved alongside each other and stayed at the forefront of changing trends. These trends include offshoring to the Philippines. In the same Tholons report, the Philippines was called the "undisputed leader" in customer service due to its positive business climate.
So how does the BPO industry continue to thrive in the Philippines? Apart from consistent government support and exceptional infrastructure, it's what the Filipino workforce consistently delivers. The Philippines has a deep talent pool that specializes in both particular skills and a wide range of them. More global companies are seeing what they can do and tap into this talent pool as well. Indeed, this versatility is what makes the Filipino workforce unique, but that's not all they are known for.
As one of the largest English-speaking nations in the world, education in the Philippines helped shape its talent pool. The neutral accent that many Filipinos have makes it easier for them to communicate with international clients. An estimated 30,000 to 50,000 graduates each year earn degrees across many specialized industries that have helped businesses prosper globally.
When asked to describe their workforce in the Philippines, clients often describe them as "dedicated," "hard-working" and "personable." These traits are rooted in both traditional and modern Philippine culture that is only unique to the country. A strong commitment to loyalty, respect, family and faith are also traits that can be considered uniquely Filipino. They practice these in their personal lives and often carry it over professionally.
Before deciding if you should offshore to the Philippines, remember that outsourcing and offshoring are two different approaches. Though mostly similar, offshoring requires more regular engagement with your team in the Philippines as they are extensions of your own local workforce. While outsourcing a team means letting your provider have free rein over them, the same cannot be said for offshoring. Offshoring also means being able to prioritize core activities while working with a flexible staff that can adapt quickly when your business needs to scale.
The Philippines has an exceptional IT infrastructure that can handle a company's offshoring objectives.
If retailers decide to offshore, it has to be seen in the long-term. One of the great things about offshoring is that it helps cultivate a team that becomes invested in your company. Through daily management, your offshore team can be shaped to be a high-performing, productive one. They can quickly align with the goals you have set for yourself and produce more than exceptional results. This close collaboration is achieved through access to the latest technology and robust infrastructure. By offshoring to the Philippines, retailers will have access to these benefits, all at a lowered cost compared locally.
Indeed, what started out as an industry of customer service call centres is now one that can take on back-office roles and more mid to high-level tasks. Offshoring as a whole is continuing to evolve, and offshoring to the Philippines is seen as a smart business move by many. Whatever functions that retailers choose to assign, working with a dedicated offshore team means staying ahead of the competition and seeing firsthand how the future is being shaped.
Yes, compared to outsourcing, implementing an offshoring strategy requires more legwork and a strong commitment. However, finding the right offshoring partner to collaborate with can make this transition seamless and easy. As 2018 comes to a close, you may think that the best time to begin considering your offshoring strategy is when the New Year comes along. However, as mentioned earlier, there is no better time to consider it than now. With the competition looking at what offshoring to the Philippines can do for them, there's no reason to be left behind.

X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) and time-of-flight (TOF) secondaryion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) have been applied to investigate potsherd samples from Pantanal, Brazil. One of the potsherds presented burnt bone as an additive, which was characterized by XPS as carbonate hydroxyapatite. For shell-tempered ceramics the phase present in shells after firing was identified by X-ray diffraction. TOF-SIMS was used to study the distribution of quartz as temper in one of the sherds. XPS was also applied to the characterization of the finishing external layer of the ceramic vessels. In this case, based on the Fe 2p spectra of the sherd's interior and outermost layers, it was possible to prove that their difference in coloration is due to black heart formation. Hierarchical clustering analysis and principal component analysis of the XPS elemental data enabled the potsherds to be classified with respect to their clay composition.

Nice, Aimee! Keep them updates a'coming. I've been checking your blog daily since you girls left. London looks awesome.
LOVE. so excited for you sharing your trip with 'us'.
that photo of you and the very delicious looking doughnut is gorgeous.
Ah.London it looks really cool and seems like you are loving it.
keep the pics coming Aimee ... at least we can dream of being there as well.


We are learning different feelings in Te Reo Maori. We had to show our feelings by taking selfies. Here is Marwa's collection of feelings! Kei te pehea koe?
Guess what I feel angry when I don't sleep over my Nana's house.
When do you get angry and sad?
I just want to say well done on your presentation I like how you guys used different language keep on the fabulous work.
I like the way you put your feeling and you put different language keep room 9.
I really like your presentation. It was a very creative way to share the different feelings. I might magpie your idea for my class in Christchurch. I hope you don't feel too makariri today.
I like how you put how you felt at the bottom of the page and how you put the backgrounds of how you felt.Maybe next time you could put a text that you could read .


The Webster dictionary defines bliss as "great joy of happiness, spiritual joy." Like all good seekers of things beyond the ordinary, I am always looking for the holy grail so to speak. Whatever that may mean to different people. One of my eminent teachers Tom Kenyon mentioned this ascended civilization on Venus where their worst emotional state is Bliss. I personally cannot confirm or deny that but am very intrigued by the concept. You mean there is something beyond bliss, and more importantly how do I get there. I thought achieving and maintaining the emotional state of bliss was an elusive goal in itself.
Channeling my internal Indiana Jones (I actually own a Fedora hat), I invite you to come with me as I venture out to explore the magic and mystery of being human and living on this beautiful planet we call earth.
I guess I'll always be exploring. I find that the deeper I delve into something the more complex and mysterious it becomes. It seems that the layers we peel off are never ending. I miss the days of my youth, when like any young person I was very confident in what I knew. I thought I had a great formula for dealing with people and the situations that presented themselves. Now I feel that I know so little, and my sense of knowing changes from day-to-day and moment to moment. The most challenging of course, are the things I think I have a handle on. So I find that it is very liberating to say, "I don't have a clue." That allows me to shed all the dogma programmed into me and start fresh with the innocence of a child. Yes children have this purity about seeking knowledge until the adults in their life program the heck out it.
As we look up at the stars that shine and wonder what lies beyond our world and how to get there. The most amazing thing is that our mind and consciousness do not require a spaceship or time machine for exploration. The greatest geniuses we know dared to think outside the box and cultivated their fertile imagination. They also seemed to have stumbled upon other information, not easily digested by most of us, when they attempted to go where no human being has gone before. Courage to be different is a virtue they possessed.
When we don't have a documented explanation for something we simply refer to it as a miracle. I'm always curious about how people do what they do. All the subtle nuances of being human. This curiosity led me on the path to become a psychologist. Now I can ask people from all walks of life about their circumstances. Mainly, how they find themselves stuck and how they unstick themselves. Wow!!!!! I get to do this for a living.
We don't have to be content with just exploring outer space. How about exploring the space in our own mind and body. I like to explore with the intention of just enjoying the journey. It always turns out to be a great learning experience. As I get to what I thought was my original destination, I find so many different directions I can take. Each providing surprises, pleasant or unpleasant, depending on my point of view. At a minimum more knowledge and a deeper understanding of our emotional processes.
I invite you to come with me on this beautiful journey. There are some rough spots and some gentle, nourishing pastures. Yes, some days we want things to be uncomplicated but really isn't one important part of bliss the liberation from ourselves. From life as we know it. The freedom from prisons we keep our minds confined in for life-term sentences. There are so many other aspects of bliss I have yet to explore. Nowadays, it seems that the more I learn about something, the more I realize how incomplete my knowledge base really is. As recent as 10-15 years ago, could we even imagine owning a smartphone. I want some people to volunteer, to dare to dream that what we think is impossible in our day-to-day living is really possible.
I definitely plan on keeping my mind/brain agile and limber until my exit from this planet. If this involves taking a leap of faith, I am willing. Are you willing to step outside your comfort zone to possibly find something beyond bliss?

Q: AWS auto-scaling policy - scaling-up too often We have AWS auto-scaling policy configured for our Linux machine, but for some reason when I checked the scaling activity I realised that it triggers multiple 2-3 machines during very short span of minutes as you can see here:
Activity History
Following is my auto-scaling policy:
Scaling Policies
Following is my auto-scaling group description:
Desired: 1
Min: 1
Max: 5
Default Cooldown: 300
Health Check Type: EC2
Health Check Grace Period: 300

is it the health check grace period 300 or default cool down time? why when there is a load on CPU of more than 30% for 300 seconds it tries to load multiple machines instead of 1

A: It looks like a fresh EC2 instance takes about 15 to 20 minutes to initialize and start working, but your cooldown is only 5 minutes. So 5 minutes after increasing your desired count, your new EC2 instance is still initializing, but the CPU is checked again by Auto Scaling and it's still high, so Auto Scaling increases the desired count again.
Try increasing your cooldown to 900 (15 minutes) or even 1200 (20 minutes).


The development and acquisition of clinical skills take time and practice. Access to expertise and guidance to perform clinical (patient care) procedures can be difficult, especially in real-world clinical settings.
We developed an innovative, collaborative tele-assistance system that provided remote guidance to nursing students in the development of procedural skills.
Proof of concept was demonstrated. Instructors were able to guide learners in undertaking procedures remotely using the "helping hands" technology. Such technology has the potential to improve health professional education in the workplace.

Australia's population should be just 15 million
Who would have thought the pop culture term "Australia, we're full" actually holds weight.
The 'idea' is not a new one.
Unbeknown to the general population a book written in the 1930's describes how were are literally full (in terms of the ideal size population for this continent).
See article from 13 July 2017 by news.com.au of the headline;
Should Australia have a population of 15 million?
AUSTRALIA'S population should be far lower, academics say. They claim although our economy is growing, our wellbeing peaked 40 years ago.
Three academics have suggested Australia's population is too big. Picture: Chris Hyde Source: Getty Images
THE optimal population size for Australia is just 15 million people.
That's the opinion of environmental experts Peter Martin and James Ward from the University of South Australia, and Paul Sutton from the University of Denver.
In an article published in The Conversation, they suggest genuine progress in Australia peaked 40 years ago, and that while our population and economy have grown considerably in recent decades, our level of wellbeing has actually declined.
"In Australia, the stall point appears to be about 1974," they wrote.
WHY AUSTRALIA'S PROGRESS HAS STALLED

Rather than looking at Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which is commonly used to gauge economic health, they opted to use a more alternative measure known as the Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI).
It factors in a range of things excluded from GDP calculations, like carbon dioxide emissions and water pollution to the value of household work and parenting, the quality of education, and even the prevalence of car crashes.
Based on their research, they said our "unnecessary, ideologically-driven growth" has come at "an immense and unjustifiable cost to our natural and social capital".
Martin, Ward and Sutton argue it's reaching a crunch point.
"(People) are often quick to say that it's our consumption patterns, and not our population size, that really matter when we talk about environmental impact.
"But common sense, not to mention the laws of physics, says that size and scale matter, especially on a finite planet."
HOW HIGH IS OUR POPULATION GROWTH REALLY?
If growth continues, there will be far fewer empty seats at sporting events. Picture: Mark Kolbe

Australia is currently home to about 24.1 million people.
It has the highest rate of population growth of all the medium and large OECD countries, at a rate of about 1.7 per cent a year, and more than three quarters of the growth is in four cities: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.
Australia's growth is such Liz Allen, a demographer from the Australian National University, believes a formal population policy should be introduced.
"With birth rates low and deaths increasing, natural increase is no longer driving Australia's population," she said.
Immigration is increasingly relied on to offset the ageing of the workforce, and more than half of Australia's population growth is from net overseas migration.
In fact, Australia has one of the highest proportions of overseas-born people in the world, about 26 per cent according to the last census.
DOWNSIDES TO RAPID POPULATION GROWTH

Planning expert Glen Searle said Australia is "hostage to the growth machine" because developers and property owners have a vested interest in continued rapid population growth.
He said "urban planning for this rate of growth is often inadequate", because it's failing to protect high-value environments from development.
"Despite their expanding area, Australian cities have less green open space. In attempts to reduce the costs of new infrastructure to meet the needs of increasing populations, [the] average housing block size has been reduced," he said.
He believes this is causing "heat islands" in cities that lack greenery and recreation space, and also expressed the poorer quality of new housing developments.
"Perhaps the shortcomings of planning resulting from the need to accommodate fast-growing populations could be mended with reduced growth," he said.
BENEFITS OF A LARGER POPULATION

Australia's ageing population will cause a significant burden on the health system in coming years, but Santosh Jatrana from Swinburne University of Technology argues this will be offset if it continues to welcome healthy workers.
Skilled migrants and their dependants typically go through a medical screening to ensure they meet minimum health requirements, and as such, she suggests they are often healthier than the average Australian.
"While an ageing population adds to the burden on the health system, an intake of migrants who are generally young and healthier than the average Australian, due to their selectivity, might help balance this out," she says.
"So, in fact, increasing migration would be of benefit to Australia's health."
IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT THE CITIES
Some of Australia's planning woes could be eased by more regional migration. Picture: Jason Edwards

Ever since the end of World War II, people moving to Australia from overseas have overwhelmingly focused on large metropolitan centres.
It's easy to see why — they have better access to employment, education and health services, and a better chance of finding communities of compatriots.
Emily Longstaff, who is currently studying a Ph.D at the Australian National University, says migrants can help stabilise declining regional populations.
Often, that means a corresponding economic boost — like the Victorian town of Nhill, which has employed more than 160 refugees to work in a local poultry farm.
GROWTH DOESN'T HAVE TO BE PAINFUL
Australia can learn from the experiences of densely-populated countries like Japan. Picture: iStock

Australia's population is still tiny compared to the rest of the world, and considering we have a lot of space to fill, we have plenty of time to plan ahead.
Brendan Barrett and Marco Amati, from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, say Australia can learn from cities like Tokyo to smooth the process.
Tokyo has a population of 38 million — almost 160 per cent of the entire population of Australia — but it's consistently ranked one of the world's most liveable cities.
The key, according to Barrett and Amati, is to plan early to minimises negatives like environmental pollution and disorganised urban sprawl as the population grows, and commit early to world-class public transport.

Victoria's new road rules 'interesting' but are not law
The buffoons in government have apparently had a brainstorm and implemented new rules on Victorian roads.
The good people of Australia are told that laws are to be made for "peace, order, and good government" (from a law called the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act).
Thankfully road rules do not fall into any of the above mentioned categories (i.e peace, order or even a law).
The very next day after alleged implementing a road 'rule' that drivers must slow down to 40km/h when passing emergency vehicles a collision occurred on the Western Highway.
So how is that for "peace, order, and good government"?
Well it's not.
It (a road rule) is not even a 'law', i.e. something that you must abide by.
Failure to abide by these road rules apparently carries a fine.
It seems like it's a cash grab from the struggling population.
We recommend any lawful / natural 'person' that obtains a fine from any of the new rules in place to challenge them in a court
See article from 12th of July 2017 by the Fairfax publication of the headline:
The changes to the road rules you might not know about
For the first time in eight years, Victoria has a new set of road rules.
And while most of the do's and don'ts remain the same, there have been a few nips, tucks and tweaks.
Some of the changes have been widely publicised, such as the 40km/h speed limit for driving past emergency vehicles and the new $476 on-the-spot fine for cyclists who use a mobile phone while riding.
Other alterations are a little harder to spot.
At 547 pages long, the full book of traffic regulations is a hefty read. However, the eager beavers at the RACV have helpfully gone through all 408 rules to find what others might have missed.
Here's what they found:
Road rule 300 - Use of mobile phones
As mentioned earlier, bicycle riders and those mounted astride a wheeled recreational device (such as a skateboard or scooter) are now not allowed to use a mobile phone.
This rule even applies when the bike/device is "stationary but not parked".
That point has prompted riders to get in touch with the RACV to ask how they can be sure they have parked their bike, scooter or skateboard under the new rule.
"If they're standing with one foot on the skateboard are they riding it or is it parked?," said RACV roads and traffic manager Dave Jones.
"People are asking these questions, they don't want to be booked."
For cars, a recent clause clarifying that drivers could use their mobile phone with their keys in the ignition or the vehicle running if it was legally parked has been removed.
The RACV got in touch with VicRoads to clarify the situation and was told it was a mistake which would be corrected as soon as possible.
Road rule 270 - Wearing motor bike helmets
Motorcycle riders are now allowed to move their bike without a helmet, as long as the engine is off or they are pushing it.
The rule states that it has to be safe in the circumstances not to wear a helmet.
Road rule 271 - Riding on motorbikes and motorcycles
A modification to this rule makes it legal for riders to stretch their legs.
It's now legal to stand up on a bike while it's moving, as long as both feet are on the foot pegs.
Riders can also lift one leg up, as long as their bum remains on the seat.
Road rule 179 - Stopping in a loading zone
The previous version of this rule didn't require courier or delivery vehicles to be dropping off or picking up goods while parked in a loading zone.
Now they have to, which is bad news for the lovers of a loophole who had a magnetised "courier" sign ready to stick on their car door.
Road rule 213 - Making a vehicle secure
A plus for food safety as refrigerated trucks are now permitted to be left running while unattended.
Road Rule 154 - Bus lanes
Bike riders are now allowed to use bus lanes, as are the drivers of private coaches. Previously they were solely for public buses.
More broadly, Mr Jones said that it was important for the state government to introduce a mandatory minimum consultation period for any changes to the road rules.
He said this would help, particularly in situations such as the 40km/h emergency vehicle rule or the mistake regarding use of mobile phones while parked.
"The public should be notified of changes in advance for education purposes but also so we have the opportunity to consider the rule," he said.
Tax office now involved in hacking your phone?
It seems there are no boundaries when it comes to the monitoring of the corporate slaves or the inhabitants of a penal colony.
Not too long ago the people have been told that Centrelink hacks into their phones;
http://corpau.blogspot.com.au/2017/07/centrelink-hacks-your-smart-phone.html
Now, even a non legal entity in Australia can (legally?) hack into your phone?
The Australian Tax Office is involved in developing / using software to ILLEGALLY hack into your phone.
Many people may not even contemplate the nefarious reason why Australia's authorities are pushing / mandating people to use smart phones in their communications.
Because they are easily hackable.
It is truly a shame that the herd population are not only compliant, but so eagerly possessing smartphones in order to be monitored, which also includes in their own private dwelling.
We do not recommend the use of smart phones (in particular Android / Apple) for communications purposes.

New scandal hits the Australian Taxation Office
A NEW crisis is engulfing the Australian Taxation Office, just weeks after police smashed an alleged $144m fraud and a big computer systems outage.
ATO leaders have been forced to speak with a staff member after it emerged they has published a step-by-step guide to hack mobile phones online, revealing fraud investigation tactics.
The post was published on LinkedIn, and revealed how to bypass passwords, and retrieve data — even when the phone is flat or without a SIM card installed, the ABC reported.
The post was removed in under an hour after the Australian Taxation Office was alerted to it. It also included claims the staff member was involved in developing security capabilities it has previously not been thought to be involved in.
An ATO spokeswoman told the ABC the staff member had been spoken to but not suspended or fired. News.com.au has contacted the ATO for comment.
Phones were only accessed under a warrant under the Crimes Act, or with written consent from the owner, she said, but declined to say what "tools" the agency used as part of its work.
"For operational reasons, we do not disclose information about when different tools are used as part of our operations," she said.
Adam Cranston's case is due back in court today. Picture: AAPSource:AAP
Michael Cranston resigned as deputy commissioner of the ATO after his son Adam and daughter Lauren were among nine people charged over an alleged $144 million tax-evasion scheme. There is no suggestion Michael Cranston, 57, was part of the scheme, but he has been charged with using information and exercising his influence as a public officer to benefit his son.
Adam Cranston lived a lavish lifestyle until his arrest, with authorities seizing some of his assets under proceeds of crime laws. Last week it was revealed he spent $200,000 on two Italian racing cars just weeks before he was arrested.
The ATO has defended its ability to deliver during the peak tax return period after a big systems outage.
ATO portals, my Tax and other online services went down as staff attempted to resolve "some intermittent system issues". The website has been dogged by system issues in recent months, with major outages in December, February and as recently as last week.
The problems were not related to recent hardware issues and no data had been lost, it said, nor were the systems compromised or subject to a cyber attack. "We identified intermittent system issues early this afternoon affecting our mainframe and impacting on our services to the community," the ATO said in a statement.
"This was caused by applications running incorrectly."

I understand why some would want to take supplements. Not all veggies are great tasting, but I still think the best outcome is to eat actual fruits and veggies instead of taking supplements. But, if someone can't afford to buy the veggies or fruits at a store or farmers market, maybe this could be beneficial.
Haven't really gotten into the vegetable-diet since I don't really like the taste. With this price however I think it'd be worth it for anybody to try it out.

Unexpected price shifts can damage non-diversified portfolios.
At first blush, acquiring another company in the same industry may strike a board of directors as a straightforward way to success and higher income given their depth of industry knowledge and experience, but potential disadvantages abound. Prudent companies will examine all aspects of potential acquisitions, including such disadvantages as a clash of corporate culture and overpaying because of demonstrated industry expertise.
Despite the assumed cost savings that come along with eliminating duplicative back-office and marketing functions that occur within the same industry, acquisitions still require significant outlay of either cash or company stock and may not be immediately profitable. Companies may decide to proceed with an acquisition for strategic reasons to firm up their competitive position, not necessarily to increase short-term profits, which may cause a decline in stock prices. Any hint of monopolistic tendencies suggested by the merger, however, may draw the attention of regulators and increase legal fees.
Companies that acquire other businesses within the same industry may feel they can raise their prices given the reduced competition, yet consumers may well rebel when confronted by increased costs as they seek cheaper product alternatives within the marketplace. The impetus for innovation may decrease if companies attempt to maximize their profits at the expense of research and development budgets, which would lead to less customer choice and a weaker foundation for future profitability.
Companies may become too set in their ways when they feel that competition no longer aggressively breathes down their corporate backs. Customer service may suffer as employees feel less of an urgent need to go out of their way to help clients and shoppers. The entrepreneurial spirit can also drag when it becomes too satisfied, which can lead to less executive work hours and more time on the golf course. That scenario will eventually catch up with the acquiring company as new businesses emerge to fill market gaps.
Two companies may operate well within the same industry, but have entirely different corporate cultures. One may be more of the buttoned-down, leather-shoe variety, the other boasting a more freewheeling T-shirt and sneakers brilliance. Both have their place, yet integrating such starkly different customs can take months of effort, create ill will and result in layoffs or departures that directly impact the bottom line.

Have you recovered from Christmas yet? It might have taken you time to stuff all that wrapping paper into the bin and work out which way the batteries fit on the kids' latest favourite toy, but life's returning to normal, right? Well, not here at PoundToy HQ.
To make January a little easier, we've discounted a huge range of products that your kids will love in our toy clearance. Whether they've got a birthday coming up or whether you just want to get a few reward presents in the bag for the next few months, we've got you covered. January doesn't have to boring and you can still entertain the kids on a budget.
If there's one thing we know about kids, it's that they love toys that are associated with their favourite characters. It's true that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles might get a little boy brushing his teeth when simply encouraging him might not work. Plus, seeing their favourite characters on creative toys and crafty items is a sure-fire way to spark their imaginations.
So, grab some great deals featuring their favourite characters at brilliantly low sale prices. Or why not try and get them interested in some new characters and shows? January's a great time to try something new and ease the boredom of these long winter nights.
Something else that can make these winter evenings a bit more enjoyable are crafting activities. Yes, the prospect of having your dining table covered in felt pen isn't an enticing one, but it doesn't have to be that disastrous. There are plenty of craft supplies that don't make a permanent mess and you'll be helping your child's skills develop at the same time as keeping them busy.
Linking up with the characters mentioned above, why not grab some stationery or craft materials that match their interests? It's a great way of getting them drawing or writing – plus it doesn't have to break the bank with our low, low prices.
Have you had enough of slime yet? If you have, it's unlikely that the kids are over the slime toys craze. It's slimy and strange, but it's going nowhere. Kids love slime and, if it keeps them busy, who are we to argue? Fortunately, you'll find that we've got plenty of slimy choices for your kids to enjoy in our sale. At these prices, it'd be a slimy shame to miss out.
Along with all the brilliant toys we've got on sale, we've also made it easy for you to grab bath goodies and little pampering packages. Bath time never goes out of style for little ones, so why not make it even more enjoyable by throwing their favourite characters into the mix? We've got some great bath toys and smellies to make them positively love getting into the tub. How you get them out is another matter!
It's not all about bath time either. You can find little pampering packages with lip gloss and body lotions, plus temporary tattoos for both girls and boys. We've even got hydration covered with some awesome character water bottles.
At PoundToy, we adore blind bags and collectables that help kids start a collection of something they love at a low price. In fact, we like blind bags so much that you'll find heaps of them in our sale.
Mini collectables and cards work as great rewards. If you're operating a star chart, for instance, they're a cheap way of rewarding the kids with something they'll enjoy collecting. Plus, they're more likely to strive for another star if they're adding something to a collection they're building! Get your family through the slow winter months by starting a new collection with their favourite characters at budget prices.
Pocket money doesn't stretch as far as it used to, so help the kids make the most of it by introducing them to the PoundToy website. We've got a heap of pocket money friendly toys just waiting for them to discover. They'll learn the value of stretching their money as far as it'll go, plus they'll get to choose the toys or craft materials they want. That's a win-win, right?
Kids who have birthdays in January or February sometimes draw the short straw and get presents they don't really want just because stores had them leftover from Christmas. With our sale, you don't have to worry about that. All the items in the PoundToy sale are from our popular ranges including Disney, Marvel and Star Wars. There's no second-best, just the characters and toys kids love and want to find wrapped up for their birthdays.
Not forgetting, we have stuffed our January clearance full of all the best cheap party supplies. Perfect for adding the finishing touches to any little one's special day, stock up on all the latest cups, plates, serviettes, party banners, table clothes and so much more.
You might hate us for saying this, but it's never too early to start thinking about next Christmas. We're not suggesting stocking up on chocolates that'll go out of date (if they survived more than a few days in the house anyway) but what about buying decorations ready for next year?
Over December, we heard a few comments about people feeling unprepared for Christmas 2018. They felt like it'd crept up on them and they hadn't been able to get all the goodies they wanted. Or, if they had, they'd really had to pay top prices for them. The PoundToy team definitely don't believe in that!

Women's History Month: March 2019
March 6, 2019 Author - Women's History Month
Photo by Joel Muniz on Unsplash
Celebrated in March to coincide with International Women's Day on the 6th, Women's History Month highlights the contributions of women to events in history and contemporary society. The 2019 Women's History Month theme is "Visionary Women: Champions of Peace & Nonviolence." The theme honors "women who have led efforts to end war, violence, and injustice and pioneered the use of nonviolence to change society." Here on the blog, similarly to how we celebrated Black History Month, we'll be honoring speakers, authors, poets, educators, and activists.
The first International Women's Day was in 1911. It wasn't until 1978 that the Sonoma County, California school district organized a week-long celebration of women's history. They were in the process of revising school curriculum to address what they saw as an imbalance, the omission of the contributions of women in America. In the summer of 1979, a fifteen-day conference about women's history was held at Sarah Lawrence College, co-sponsored by the college, the Women's Action Alliance, and the Smithsonian Institution. When these groups learned of the success of the celebration in California, they agreed to initiate similar celebrations within their own organizations, communities, and school districts, and to support an effort to secure a National Women's History Week.
In February 1980, President Jimmy Carter issued a presidential proclamation declaring the week of March 8, 1980, National Women's History Week, saying that "the achievements, leadership, courage, strength and love of the women who built America was as vital as that of the men whose names we know so well."
By 1986, fourteen states had declared March as Women's History Month. In 1987, after being petitioned by the National Women's History Project, Congress passed Public Law 100-9 designating the month of March as Women's History Month. Since 1988, U.S. presidents have issued annual proclamations saying the same. Every year has its own theme, declared by the National Women's History Project, things like "Generations of Courage, Compassion, and Conviction," "Women Sustaining the American Spirit," and "Writing Women Back into History."
We invite you to join us this month as we remember, honor, and celebrate the contributions of women who "consciously built supportive, nonviolent alternatives and loving communities as well as advocating change. They have given voice to the unrepresented and hope to victims of violence and those who dream of a peaceful world," (National Women's History Project).
Some things to read, watch, contemplate, and share:
Women's History Month website hosted by Library of Congress. "The Library of Congress, National Archives and Records Administration, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Gallery of Art, National Park Service, Smithsonian Institution and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum join in commemorating and encouraging the study, observance and celebration of the vital role of women in American history."

Community-Wide Effort to Improve Behavioral Health Services Finds Significant Gaps for Community to Focus On
(November 29, 2021) – Following a five-month community-based effort to research and identify behavioral health services and needs on Nantucket, the steering committee finalized phase one of its multi-phased initiative aimed at addressing behavior health concerns impacting the community. As part of the initiative, the committee gathered and analyzed data and brought together community members with civic and government leaders to explore and report on some of the major challenges facing Nantucket's behavioral health stakeholders.
The assessment found 15 gaps across the community-wide behavioral health prevention, intervention, treatment, and recovery options offered on Nantucket.
"The Pandemic helped expose some challenges that we've always struggled with. The report makes it clear that we need to increase resources to address some of our shortfalls. It's time for all of us to roll up our sleeves and get to work on plugging these gaps. We can design a system that works for all members of our community," said Moirar Leveille, author and founder of Moirar Holistic Wellness.
These findings include five system-wide issues which if remedied could significantly improve the overall function and coordination of multiple behavioral health resources based on the island. The five issues are: the lack of person-centered collaboration; under-resourced access and navigation supports; fragmented oversight and limited data utilization; insufficient reimbursements and funding levels; and the impact of a lack of adequate and affordable housing on recruitment and retention of professional staff.
"I'm pleased that we have a comprehensive understanding of our strengths and opportunities. This will help us focus our efforts and investments in the future," said Nantucket Town Manager Libby Gibson.
With the release of the report, the 15-member committee is currently determining how to best implement the report's findings and improve the behavioral health resources on Nantucket. To support the coming work, the Behavioral Health Initiative Fund administered at the Community Foundation for Nantucket was recently awarded a grant from the 2021 Nantucket Cottage Hospital Community Health Initiative.
"Nantucket Cottage Hospital is committed to improving Nantucketer's access to quality care, particularly in the behavioral health space," said Gary Shaw, President and CEO of Nantucket Cottage Hospital. "While we have worked to expand our behavioral health resources at the hospital, we are one part of a system of providers in this space, which is why this kind of comprehensive, community-based initiative is so vital to improving the lives of our community members."

A hearing was held in the Court of B&H on Friday against Osman Mehmedagić Osmica, director of the Intelligence and Security Agency (ISA), according to the proposal of the Prosecutor's Office of B&H to revoke the prohibition measure and order a one-month detention.
There are still no decisions of the Court of B&H on whether Mehmedagić will be returned to custody.
Judge of the Court of B&H Tatjana Kosović is working on this case also, and she said on Friday that she would make a decision later.
State Prosecutor Oleg Čavka said also on Friday that, according to the B&H Border Police, Osman Mehmedagić and Asim Sarajlić traveled by plane to Antalya on July 21st. According to the prohibitive measures, the suspect must not approach the witness at a distance of less than 50 meters.
They were in Antalya for ten days and returned on the same flight. Sarajlić is a witness in the investigation against Mehmedagić for abuse of office and forgery of official documents.
He stated that the Prosecutor's Office requested further checks and that it had received information from the B&H Border Police that Mehmedagić and his wife, only five days after the measures were determined, traveled to Antalya with Sarajlić.
- They were in Antalya for ten days. They departed and returned on the same flight. The plane they were traveling on was 37 meters long. They crossed the border crossing one minute apart - Čavka explained, adding that Mehmedagić did not inform the Prosecutor's Office of B&H about the wedding or the trip, although it was stated in the prohibitive measures.
