I 'Got Snatched': Daniel McGowan's Bizarre Trip Through America's Prison System

Daniel McGowan was in the yard of the Federal Correctional Institution in Sandstone, Minn., when his name rang out over the loudspeaker. It had been eight months since he first reported to the low-security prison to start a seven-year sentence for conspiracy and arson. To pass the time, he worked as an orderly in the prison psychology department, took correspondence classes and exercised.
Sandstone, located nearly smack-dab in the middle of the country, was about as far removed as McGowan could be from his wife, Jenny Synan, in New York and from his former compatriots in the Earth Liberation Front in Oregon, with whom he had been caught in a national law enforcement sweep. But he still kept in touch with the outside world, writing passionate articles about the environment and prisons for publications like the Earth First! Journal. He was allotted 300 minutes of phone time a month. And on the rare occasions when Synan could get away from work, she would come see him. In the prison's visiting room, they would hug and kiss and play board games together.
He was looking forward to such a visit when the loudspeaker told him to report to the prison's shipping and receiving department. It was the day before his second wedding anniversary in May 2008, and he assumed that he was being called in for some routine matter. Perhaps the package full of books he had recently mailed to his wife had been returned for insufficient postage, he thought.
Instead, a prison staffer handed McGowan two boxes and told him to fill them up with his possessions. He was the one being shipped. When he asked his case manager where he was being taken, he was thrown in a cell.
He headed south the next day, still unsure of his destination. "When I got on the bus, they told me 'Marion,'" McGowan says.
* * * * *The U.S. Penitentiary in Marion, Ill., is home to more than 1,100 prisoners. Originally built in 1963 to house inmates from Alcatraz, it operated on long-term lockdown as one of America's most notorious prisons for decades. Inmates were held in their cells for 23 or 24 hours a day, in what was essentially the first federal "supermax."
After the supermax in Florence, Colo., opened in 1994, Marion remained in use as a maximum-security prison. In 2006, it was renovated, expanded and downgraded to a medium-security facility. But in March 2008, it quietly regained some of its supermax identity — and its status as an experimental prototype for the prison system — when the Federal Bureau of Prisons established within its walls a secretive wing known as a Communication Management Unit, where prisoners are held under tight restrictions. Inmates call it "Little Guantanamo." This is where McGowan was headed.
Forty-two prisoners are currently in the CMU at Marion. Another 43 are in a similar facility in Terre Haute, Ind., that was built two years earlier. The special units were developed as part of the federal government's crackdown on terrorism following 9/11. Particularly after Lynne Stewart, the former defense attorney for the Blind Sheik, Omar Abdel-Rahman, was convicted in 2005 of covertly sending messages to her client's followers in Egypt, the Bureau of Prisons was determined to create a new form of incarceration to monitor inmates' every contact with the outside world. When the CMUs were first opened, nearly all of their inmates were Muslim men.
Unlike at Guantanamo, the prisoners in these CMUs are not being held indefinitely. But they are subjected to unusual restrictions: only two 15-minute phone calls a week, heavily monitored mail and eight hours of visitation a month. Inmates are restricted in how many times a week they can hold group prayers. Their movements and conversations are recorded at all times. Critics have described the conditions as psychologically debilitating.
Some of the inmates currently being held in CMUs are people like John Walker Lindh, who fought with the Taliban against U.S. forces in Afghanistan. Many others have only tenuous connections to terrorism, however. Some of their crimes are merely hypothetical. Yassin Aref, an Albany, N.Y., imam, for example, was convicted of witnessing a fake loan for a Stinger missile to be used against the Pakistani ambassador in New York. According to Paul Wright, the ex-con founder of Prison Legal News, most of the prisoners being housed in CMUs "aren't even the second- and third-tier prisoners in the war on terror. These are like the sixth and seventh tier."
Others have no publicly known connection to terrorism at all, beyond sharing a religion with the perpetrators of the Sept. 11 attacks. Avon Twitty, for example, was serving a 27-year sentence for killing a man during an argument before being transferred to a CMU for the final years of his sentence, but he was also a convert to Islam.
According to a lawsuit filed by the Center for Constitutional Rights on behalf of a number of prisoners, the CMUs are analogous to solitary confinement — an "experiment in social isolation" that allows corrections officials to retaliate against what they view as bad behavior, even if it is protected by the First Amendment. By classifying the CMUs as simply a way to monitor inmates, rather than as a punishment, the Bureau of Prisons has sidestepped the knotty issue of due process rights.
In a bit of what McGowan's lawyer at the Center for Constitutional Rights, Rachel Meeropol, calls "beautiful doublespeak," the BOP refers to the CMUs as "self-contained general population units." The inmates may be quarantined in the CMUs, the BOP asserts, but the units are still "general population" and thus don't require additional administrative procedures to determine which prisoners will be placed there.
"My suspicion from the get-go was, I'm unrepentant in terms of my political identity," McGowan says of his placement in the CMU. "I think what they're trying to do is say, 'OK, you want to be a little political prisoner type, you want to write and be all active and say stuff, and get a ton of mail and everyone thinks you're peachy keen? You're gonna get crushed.'"
The Bureau of Prisons has strenuously denied that it places inmates in CMUs because they are Muslim or because they have exercised other First Amendment rights. "Inmates are designated to the unit for management of their communications based on the potential security threat they present," Chris Burke, a BOP spokesman, wrote in a statement to The Huffington Post. At least some inmates, he added, may be placed in the units for other communications threats, like trying to harass victims or witnesses of their crimes.
McGowan, at first blush, does not fit the image of a terrorist. Born the son of a police officer in New York's working-class Rockaway neighborhood, he attended the State University of New York in Buffalo and then drifted into the world of environmental activism. In the hothouse atmosphere of Eugene, Ore., in the late 1990s, he became more and more radicalized — an evolution detailed in the Oscar-nominated documentary "If a Tree Falls" — and eventually joined a small cell of the Earth Liberation Front.
McGowan and his group conducted a campaign of vandalism and arson across the Pacific Northwest for several years. No one was killed or injured. Eventually, McGowan says, while his hands were still covered in gasoline during one of their actions, he decided to split from the group. In 2002, the year in which he turned 28, he moved back home to New York and took a job at a Brooklyn nonprofit for victims of domestic violence.
McGowan met Synan at his sister's birthday party just before he moved back, and he was instantly taken with her. They began dating. She was sitting at work at an arts organization in December 2005 when she received a call from one of McGowan's office mates that he had just been taken away by FBI agents. "And that was the first that I knew" that McGowan might have been under investigation, she says.
McGowan's autonomous cell within the decentralized Earth Liberation Front was known as "The Family." Its members had promised never to turn on each other if the feds came calling. But one of them did, leading to indictments for McGowan and six of his companions.
After bail, house arrest and legal proceedings — protracted because he refused to testify against his fellow defendants — McGowan eventually agreed to enter a non-cooperation plea. He would admit to taking part in arsons at a lumber company and a tree farm, but he would not be forced to testify against his fellow defendants.
"I hope that you will see that my actions were not those of [a] terrorist but of a concerned young person," McGowan said in his plea statement in November 2006. "After taking part in these two actions, I realized that burning things down did not fit with my visions or belief about how to create a better world. So I stopped committing these crimes."
McGowan did not see himself as a terrorist, but the federal government did. In the midst of a nationwide panic over environmentalist-linked crimes that critics call "the green scare," prosecutors obtained a terrorism enhancement for McGowan's crimes. The designation did not result in a longer prison term, but McGowan's supporters warned that it could lead to his placement in one of the CMUs, which were just being set up at the time.
Civil liberties groups like the National Lawyers Guild and criminal defense attorneys were infuriated by the "terrorist" label, which McGowan rejects to this day. Although they may not have approved of his criminal tactics, they argued that labeling him a terrorist was an absurd overreaction to crimes that resulted in nothing more than property damage.
"Is this what a terrorist is?" Heidi Boghosian, executive director of the National Lawyers Guild, asked at the time. "Americans know the difference between Daniel McGowan and Osama bin Laden, and this effort to subvert the fairness of the judicial system is an affront to the values they hold dear."
Still, as McGowan was serving his sentence at Sandstone, Leslie Smith, the chief of the prison system's Counter-Terrorism Unit, made the case to have him transferred to a more restrictive facility and to have his communications cut off. In a memo dated March 27, 2008, Smith argued that McGowan was an "organizer."
"While incarcerated and through social correspondence and articles written for radical publications, inmate McGowan has attempted to unite the radical environmental and animal liberation movements," Smith wrote. McGowan, according to Smith, had spoken bitterly of the government's cooperating witnesses as "snitches" for their "betrayal."
There were inconsistencies in Smith's dark portrait. He singled out McGowan's prison letters and interviews, but in them McGowan cautioned against the kinds of destructive actions for which he had been convicted, as he had in his plea statement.
"We need to have serious conversations about whether militancy is truly effective in all situations," McGowan told the Earth First! Journal. "Certainly, direct action is a wonderful tool, but from my experience, it may not be the most effective one at all times or in all situations."
"Direct action" is a deliberately vague term that covers a wide range of protest tactics, from non-violent sit-ins to sabotage and property destruction. But for those versed in the movement's lingo, it was clear what McGowan was saying: Think twice before you try actions as aggressive as mine.
Nevertheless, to Smith, those articles and interviews about "direct action" were proof positive that McGowan was trying to act as a "spokesman" for the radical environmental movement.
According to Burke, the BOP spokesman, inmates can be placed in CMUs when they "have been convicted of, or associated with, international or domestic terrorism," when they "attempt to coordinate illegal activities via approved communication methods while incarcerated," or when they "have extensive disciplinary histories for the continued misuse/abuse of approved communication methods."
In his memo, Smith noted McGowan's sterling disciplinary history but emphasized his speech since entering prison. Two months later, he was on the bus out of Sandstone.
In McGowan's words, he "got snatched."
* * * * *At Marion, McGowan says, he found a totally different world from the one he had known at Sandstone. With severely limited contact with the outside, and little access to the classes and activities available at regular prisons, inmates would stare at the TV all day or wander the halls aimlessly, like zombies.
When his wife visited him, they could no longer kiss and hug and play board games. Instead, they would walk down a hallway together, with two sets of bars between them, unable to touch. In a small room, they would sit across from each other, separated by glass, and speak through phones, so that agents in the BOP's Counter-Terrorism Unit could listen in.
"The worst part would be in the hallway together, and it'd be like two sets of bars, and she'd be coming in and I'd be going in the same room, and I'd see her in the flesh and I'd go I can't even believe how insane this is," McGowan remembers thinking. "Because then we go into our little box, and there's two cameras, and you're on a crappy little phone."
"And then you go there and you're behind glass," Synan says. "You can't touch the other person, feel their hands, touch their skin. But also you're sitting there in a very tiny booth, holding a phone, knowing that there's somebody recording the call."
Other families broke apart under the strain, McGowan says. His relationship with Synan, whom he married shortly before his prison term began, was tested.
At the time, only 15 minutes were allotted for phone time each week, making conversations frustrating. "Say you're just bickering about something, but after 15 minutes that phone hangs up, but you get nothing for the next week," Synan says. "You have to just sit there and, say somehow, we're in the middle of this argument, but you can't do anything about it."
Most difficult for McGowan, Synan says, was when his mother died in 2009. On their one phone call a week, she told him that his mother was in the hospital. "Your mom's very sick," she said. "It's just a matter of time."
But McGowan needed to have the hospital's phone number approved before he could call it — a process that couldn't be completed late on a Friday. All through the weekend, he lived in a suspended state, waiting for Monday to find out whether his mother was dead.
"It's horrible. This is life and death, and they had to approve a hospital room phone number, which is ridiculous," Synan says.
McGowan's mother made it through the weekend — a small solace. He called the hospital room, and with his sisters holding up the phone on the other end to his barely speaking mother, he talked to her. "He's got 15 minutes and that's it," Synan recalls. "And so the phone hangs up and he's talked to his mom, and he won't know anything for a while."
When McGowan's mother died days later, Synan told him in a message sent through a special, heavily monitored prison email system.
"That was the only way to do it," Synan says. McGowan had made her promise she would let him know as soon as possible.
With a few interruptions, McGowan was held in the CMU at Marion for two years. In October 2010, he was released into the prison's general population.
But McGowan's time in Little Guantanamo was far from over. After several months in general population, in February 2011 he was sent off to the other CMU, housed on the old death row at the Federal Correctional Complex in Terre Haute. McGowan says that move also smacked of retaliation and further highlighted the absurdity of treating prisoners like dangerous terrorists one day and common criminals the next.
The reason for his second transfer seems Kafkaesque. In January 2011, the leaks website Public Intelligence released two BOP Counter-Terrorism intelligence reports, which included details on letters to many of the inmates held at the CMUs. The documents provided a rare look into just what sort of communications monitoring the BOP was conducting on its "terrorist" inmates, including McGowan.
In one week, the report detailed, McGowan received two items of interest to the BOP: a series of postcards from a woman at a G-8 summit in Italy, describing the demonstrations there as "boring and depressing" because of their "total lack of antagonism," and a letter from a lawyer describing an animal rights conference at which the "green scare" and McGowan's incarceration were discussed.
Another report said that McGowan had been mailed a copy of a radical environmentalist magazine, which prison officials rejected, and an email from a member of a social justice public relations collective. "Much respect to you for hanging in there and staying strong," Ryan Fletcher wrote to McGowan on Aug. 7, 2009. "One day all of this will come out and expose this thing for what it is."
The BOP delivered some of these messages to McGowan and rejected others as too inflammatory for prison. But with the reports about his communications now live on the Internet for anyone to see, McGowan asked his wife to have his lawyer mail him copies.
To the BOP, that was "circumventing monitoring through the use of legal mail." McGowan was sent to the Terre Haute CMU, where he spent the next 22 months.
* * * * *In December 2012, in the final months of his seven-year sentence, McGowan was released to a halfway house in Brooklyn and obtained a job manning the front desk of a law firm.
But even then, he and his lawyers say, he was not free from the prison system's efforts to retaliate against him.
On April 1, 2013, McGowan wrote a blog post for The Huffington Post about his incarceration in the CMUs. Three days later, U.S. marshals showed up at his halfway house. He was taken to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn and placed in solitary confinement.
For McGowan, his wife and his lawyers, what followed were 20 hours of terror. They had no idea whether he was about to be shipped back to one of the CMUs. They had no idea, other than perhaps the blog post, why the BOP was so upset with him.
McGowan's jailing provoked protests from his lawyers and was reported across the Internet, including HuffPost and Politico. Three different BOP officials gave HuffPost three different explanations as to what was happening and why. Barely a day later, perhaps realizing the public relations mess it was causing, the Bureau of Prisons released McGowan back to his halfway house. Federal officials later admitted that McGowan's re-entry manager had jailed him on the basis of a regulation barring prisoners from speaking to the media — a regulation that had been ruled unconstitutional in 2007.
To McGowan, the episode was a reminder of just how arbitrary and over-the-top the BOP's reaction to political speech can be.
"The irony is just so thick," McGowan says. "You're writing an article about retaliation for freedom of speech and writing, and they retaliate by throwing you in prison."
BOP spokesman Burke would only say, "We don't comment on an inmate's disciplinary history."
If the prison system was hoping to break McGowan's will to express himself by sending him to the CMUs, or by jailing him for his blog posts, it failed. McGowan vows that his experience will only make him fight harder for the environment. It has also given him a new cause to fight for: prison reform.
In July, a federal judge ruled that McGowan could no longer participate in the Center for Constitutional Rights' lawsuit against the federal prison system, in large part because he is no longer a prisoner. But he is not the only one to have faced retaliation, the suit alleges.
Kifah Jayyousi is a Detroit native and Navy veteran who became a supporter of the Blind Sheik. Convicted in 2007 of conspiracy to murder, kidnap and maim in a foreign country and to provide material support to al-Qaeda, he was sentenced to 12 years in prison.
Jayyousi has never been accused of trying to communicate with al-Qaeda or any other terrorist group while in prison. But in June 2008, Smith had him transferred from a Florida prison to the Terre Haute CMU based on his conviction for a terrorism-related crime.
Inside the unit, Jayyousi became a leader among his fellow Muslims. Two months after his arrival, in the middle of the heated presidential election, Jayyousi delivered a sermon to the other prisoners.
"You were brought here because you are Muslim and … our response to that has to be to stand firm, stand strong, to stand steadfast," Jayyousi said, according to the BOP's transcript of his monitored speech. "John McCain is a presidential candidate, and in two months he could be our president. Where was he 20 years ago? He was being tortured in a Vietnamese prison for many years with no hope. … He stood fast, he stayed firm, he came through."
"You are going to return to your Lord to meet him with your hard work and the hardships that you have faced and done in this life; this is why we martyr," Jayyousi said.
In October 2010, when one of his original co-defendants was sent to Terre Haute, Jayyousi was shipped off to Marion. The CMU unit manager there recommended him for release into the general population in February 2011, citing "clear conduct and a good rapport with staff and other inmates" and "no continuation of actions which precipitated his placement in the CMU." But Smith again interceded.
"Jayyousi made statements which were aimed at inciting and radicalizing the Muslim inmate population in [the] CMU," Smith wrote. In Smith's characterization, Jayyousi's long statement about prison conditions — which cited McCain; the late Vice Adm. James Stockdale, another Vietnam POW; and Nelson Mandela — was transformed into a call for inmates to "martyr themselves to serve Allah."
Jayyousi claims, according to the Center for Constitutional Rights lawsuit, that he was simply standing up for himself and other Muslim inmates who had been put in prison and the CMU because of "fabricated" terrorism convictions. But Smith said the speech was a "highly inflammatory" action from a "charismatic leader" that "encouraged activities which would lead to a group demonstration."
The debate is important, because courts have long held that prison officials may take actions limiting the free speech of inmates if those actions also advance "legitimate penological objectives," such as disrupting potential prison riots.
"The Constitution applies to prisoners too," says Meeropol of the Center for Constitutional Rights. "When you're put in prison, there are a lot of limits on your rights … but there are limits on what can be done to them."
In July, a federal judge found that Jayyousi had a "plausible claim" that he had suffered retaliation because of his speech. "There is arguably a disparity between the actual content of the sermon and Smith's description of it," the judge wrote.
Jayyousi remained in the Marion CMU until May 2013, when he was released into the general population at Marion. He "was not provided with any explanation," Meeropol says.
Although Meeropol is glad that the BOP has instituted procedures for moving inmates out of the CMUs — in fact, the first time a prisoner was released from a CMU was when the BOP let one of her group's named plaintiffs out a week before the group launched its lawsuit — she still calls the situation of alleged hardened terrorists being moved in and out of the general population "ridiculous."
"There's no clear criteria for how a prisoner can earn their way out of the CMU," Meeropol says.
"When you don't have procedural protections in place, it's not surprising that abuse would result," she adds. "The retaliation comes in with a case like Daniel."
On June 6, McGowan was released from the halfway house after seven years in the Bureau of Prisons' custody. At 6:01 a.m., he left the house. He got on the subway and finally headed home to crawl into bed with his wife. That weekend they stayed in at a fancy hotel. Since then, he says, he's enjoyed simple pleasures like rock concerts — the Postal Service and Black Flag, two bands that have been re-formed since he was incarcerated — and his niece's birthday party on Long Island.
Other than that, McGowan says, "it's very early, and I'm trying to get my head straight about just being out and living my life. Trying to get through each day."

Wounded Warrior Project Supports Introduction of Clothing Allowance Reform Bills
Wounded Warrior Project Clothing Allowance Reform Bills
WASHINGTON, July 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) applauded the introduction of the Brian Neuman Clothing Allowance Act of 2021 and the Mark O'Brien Clothing Allowance Act of 2021 on Capitol Hill today. The bills are named after two severely injured combat veterans, Army SSG Brian Neuman and Marine CPL Mark O'Brien.
"Given that I use prosthetics, having to apply for a clothing allowance every year seems very ineffective, especially for those of us with traumatic brain injuries who often forget to apply," said O'Brien.
"The process is burdensome, so veterans just choose not to apply," said Neuman, a warrior served by WWP, and an Alumni Deputy Director at WWP. "Although I am eligible for VA's clothing allowance, as an above the elbow amputee, I stopped applying and just pay for my own clothing modifications."
Learn more about how this clothing allowance will help wounded veterans
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) currently provides a clothing allowance to veterans with prosthetics, orthopedic devices, or skin medicine that damages their clothing or requires alterations, so long as their condition results from military service (e.g., limb loss, severe burns). Approximately 40,000 veterans received clothing allowance benefits in fiscal year 2020. The bills announced today aim to reduce the annual claim filing burden. Most of the eligible veterans have lifelong conditions that warrant the allowance.
"A maze of annual paperwork shouldn't prevent warriors with significant physical injuries from the dignity of wearing undamaged and proper-fitting clothing," said WWP Vice President of Government Affairs José Ramos. "We're grateful to Senators Catherine Cortez Masto and John Boozman and Representatives Mike Levin and Barry Moore for their leadership in simplifying the clothing allowance process for veterans. With its introduction in the House and the Senate, we call upon both chambers to swiftly take up and approve this critical legislation."
The passage of the Clothing Allowance Act of 2021 is one of WWP's legislative priorities during the 117th Congress. Learn more about how WWP works with our nation's leaders to improve the lives of wounded veterans and their families.

I rec'vd a call from Global Service Group / Highlands Holdings, telling me I owed money on a payday loan from 2008. They would offer me an amnesty of only paying $500 for a bill I owed $2000 for, they threaten to collect or attach my wages. I do not believe I owed them this money, but cannot afford to have them do anything, so I paid them. I think I made a huge mistake. Don't be fooled.
Would love to have my money back. Find out they are wrong.

Donald Trump said he wants to "test out" in court his views that children born to undocumented immigrants on U.S. soil are not American citizens. "I don't think they have American citizenship and if you speak to some very, very good lawyers—and I know some will disagree—but many of them agree with me and you're going to find they do not have American citizenship," Trump said Tuesday. The Fourteenth Amendment clearly states: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside." Trump added that the "good ones" would be able to apply for the right to return once all undocumented residents had been deported.


Lutz, FL December 11, 2015-- As of today, Surveillance Technology Incorporated is proud to reveal the completion of yet another successful installation for a company called Psychological Assessment Resources, also known locally as "PAR." Originally established in the home of Bob and Cathy Smith about 35 years ago, PAR has grown into a successful company devoted to selling psychological assessment resources and publications. With its growing business, PAR turned to Surveillance Technology Incorporated for their expertise in security and in outfitting the best Tampa surveillance cameras available.
Surveillance Technology Incorporated provided each building on the PAR campus with their own surveillance system. In this way, the coverage of the entire campus can be more easily managed and individually surveilled. Each system comes complete with seven 1080P HD Tampa surveillance cameras which are connected to an eight-channel HD DVR, allowing for effective monitoring of important areas of the campus. All the exterior areas of the campus are monitored around the clock, such as the employee parking locations, the delivery area, and the break areas. These 1080P 2.4 megapixel cameras are equipped with an intelligent infrared system to provide the clearest picture possible at night and have been specifically located around the main entrance to capture a tight view. With this setup, the cameras offer a clear picture for facial recognition, guaranteeing a secure and safe campus for the people who work for PAR. This latest project has proven to be another successful installation for Surveillance Technology Incorporated, furthering their goals to help every client promote the latest technology in surveillance and security.

Olsza II – osiedle w Krakowie, w dzielnicy III Prądnik Czerwony, niestanowiące jednostki pomocniczej niższego rzędu w ramach dzielnicy.

Położenie
Osiedle Olsza II położone jest około 3 km na północny wschód od centrum Krakowa. Otaczają je:
 od zachodu – al. 29 Listopada
 od południa – os. Olsza i linia kolejowa nr 100 (tzw. mała obwodnica kolejowa)
 od wschodu – Rakowice, os. Akacjowa i ul. Pilotów, ul. Młyńska
 od północy – os. Prądnik Czerwony i ul. Lublańska

Historia i infrastruktura
Osiedle Olsza II powstało w latach 60. XX wieku na obszarze dawnych miejscowości Olsza, Prądnik Czerwony i Rakowice. Tereny te zostały przyłączone do Krakowa w 1910 roku – zachodnia część osiedla, na prawym brzegu Białuchy, jako ówczesna XVIII dzielnica Katastralna Warszawskie i w 1941 roku – dzielnice katastralne XLI Prądnik Czerwony, XLII Olsza i XLIII Rakowice. Osiedle w założeniu było projektowane dla dużej, jak na dotychczasowe standardy tej części Krakowa, liczby mieszkańców. Świadczy o tym przeważająca zabudowa wielopiętrowych bloków, głównie czteropiętrowych, uzupełnionych kilkoma dziesięciopiętrowymi punktowcami. Charakterystycznym elementem architektonicznym osiedla jest pawilon handlowy "Meteor". Wnętrza osiedla, pomiędzy blokami, charakteryzują się znaczną ilością terenów zielonych. W środkowej części Olszy II, pomiędzy ulicami Gdańską, Brogi i Wieniawskiego, przeważa zabudowa jednorodzinna, będąca częściowo pozostałością po dawnej, podmiejskiej zabudowie tego obszaru, sprzed okresu intensywnej urbanizacji.

Na osiedlu znajdują się 42 budynki mieszkalne położone na 40 hektarach powierzchni.

Q: Display Selected values of one SelectList in another SelectList I have 2 <apex:selectList>. The values of 1 selectList (called Available) are populated from Query.  When user selects values from this multi-select selectList, I want to show them immediately in another selectList (called Chosen) just beside it.  I'm using actionSupport for this but doesn't seem to work.
Here are the 2 selectLists.  On "onclick" event, I'm calling a controller method to put the tasksSelected into TasksChosen
<apex:repeat value="{!MapDep}" var="deptKey">
    <apex:selectList id="Available" value="{!tasksSelected}" multiselect="true" >
      <apex:actionSupport event="onclick" action="{!AddSelectedTasks}" rerender="chosen"/>
      <apex:selectOptions value="{!MapDep[deptKey]}"/>
    </apex:selectList>

    <apex:selectList id="chosen" value="{!tasksSelectedByUser}" multiselect="true">
        <apex:selectOptions value="{!TasksChosen}" />
    </apex:selectList>
</apex:repeat>

But the tasksSelected values from the 1st selectList is null!!
    public void AddSelectedTasks(){
        System.debug('on click------>'+tasksSelected);
        for(String t:tasksSelected){
            TasksChosenList.add(new SelectOption(t, t));
        }
    }

    public List<SelectOption> TasksChosenList = new List<SelectOption>();

    public List<SelectOption> getTasksChosen(){
        return TasksChosenList;
    }

Above is the Add SelectedTasks Method, the debug that I added is giving null.  How do I solve this?  Any hints?
Note:  The two selectLists are inside an <apex:repeat>!

A: Figured out, the setter for TasksSelectedByUser was wrong, my bad! Thanks @Keith C
public void setTasksSelectedByUser(String[] TasksSelectedByUser){
    this.TasksSelectedByUser = TasksSelectedByUser;
}

Thanks All, for the comments!

The tension is set to rise between Mel Owen and Linda Carter as their rivalry continues in EastEnders – but as Mel reaches out an olive branch, her attempts to diffuse their clash look set to backfire.
Linda and Mel have been frosty since they first met and Mel certainly went down in Linda's estimation when she opened up the nightclub, meaning that the Queen Vic's trade has been impacted.
With the Carters left with dwindling customer footfall, Linda is less than impressed and when Mel then catches her in an awkward situation, things get even more uncomfortable and they end up bickering about each others' businesses.
Determined to try and be the bigger person, Mel invites Linda to E20 for a drink so they can sort through their issues but things don't go to plan when Linda ends up spilling her drink over herself.
Can this warring pair ever restore their differences?

Il Pays Bigouden o semplicemente Bigouden (in bretone: Bro-Vigoudenn) è una regione del dipartimento francese del Finistère, nel nord-ovest della Bretagna (Francia nord-occidentale), situata ad ovest di Quimper e affacciata sull'Atlantico.

Capoluogo della regione è Pont-l'Abbé. Tra le altre principali località della zona, figurano Penmarc'h, Loctudy, Plomeur e Guilvinec.
La regione si caratterizza per il forte attaccamento alle tradizioni.

Etimologia
Il nome Bigouden deriva probabilmente dal bretone bigou o beg, che significa "punto" e fa riferimento ad un piccolo fermaglio a punta utilizzato nei copricapi femminili.

Geografia

Collocazione
Il Pays Bigouden si trova nel Finistère meridionale, a sud/sud-ovest della provincia storica della Cornouaille e ad ovest e nord-ovest della Foresta di Fouesnant e dell'estuario del fiume Odet e delle città di Concarneau e Quimper.

I "confini" settentrionali sono segnati dalle località di Plozévet e Landudec, quelli occidentali (da nord a sud dalle località di Plogastel-Saint-Germain, Tréméoc e Combrit Sainte-Marine. A sud, sull'Atlantico, si trovano invece Kérity (frazione di Penmarc'h), Guilvinec, Lesconil (nel comune di Plobannalec-Lesconil) e Loctudy.

La costa occidentale del Pays Bigouden (con i territori comunali di Plozévet e Penmarc'h) si affaccia sulla Baia di Audierne.

Suddivisione amministrativa
Il Pays Bigouden è suddiviso in due entità distinte, la Communauté des communes du Pays Bigouden Sud (situata a sud-ovest dalla Cornouaille), che conta circa 38.000 abitanti e di cui fanno parte 12 comuni in un'area di 16706 ha, e la Communautè des communes du Haut Bigouden, formata da 11 comuni.

Comuni

Bandiera
La bandiera del Pays Bigouden fu realizzata nel 1992 da Bernard Le Brun su iniziativa dell'Association de Promotion du Pays-Bigouden.

I suoi colori sono il giallo e il rosso, ovvero i colori del capoluogo Pont-l'Abbé.

Storia
I primi insediamenti nella zona risalgono al Paleolitico: si trattava di una popolazione semi-nomade, dedita alla pesca (attività) e alla caccia.

Nel V secolo d.C., si insediò nella regione il popolo bretone, cacciato dall'attuale Gran Bretagna dagli Angli e Sassoni.
Sempre nel corso del V secolo, iniziò l'opera di cristianizzazione, operata in zona da San Tudy, che si era stabilito a l'Île-Tudy e i cui successori fondarono un monastero a Loctudy, monastero poi distrutto dai Normanni nel IX secolo. I Normanni furono poi cacciati dalla regione nel secolo successivo.

Nel corso del Medioevo, fu costruito un castello a Pont-l'Abbé, che, nel frattempo, era diventata la "capitale" del Pays Bigouden. Il castello fu attaccato e gravemente danneggiato durante le guerre della Lega cattolica.

Nel 1675, avvenne nel Bigouden, come nel resto della Bassa Bretagna, la cosiddetta "rivolta dei berretti rossi", durante la quale, la popolazione, che indossava un berretto rosso, inscenò una protesta contro re Luigi XIV affinché togliesse la corvée, le tasse sul raccolto, ecc. La protesta fu però duramente repressa dal governatore della Bretagna.

Flora & Fauna

Flora
Nelle dune della costa del Bigouden crescono la calystegia soldanella e l'ammophila arenaria.

Fauna
Nel Bigouden vivono poche specie di uccelli, che sopravvivono grazie all'abbondanza di insetti, e la lontra, chiamata qui dourgenn.

Luoghi d'interesse

la Baia di Audierne
la Pointe de la Torche, con il dolmen di Pointe de la Torche
la Pointe de Penmarc'h
il Complesso parrocchiale di Notre-Dame de Tronoën, con il più antico calvario della Bretagna

Tradizioni

La coiffe bigoudène
Un elemento distintivo dei costumi degli abitanti del Bigouden è la coiffe bigoudène, il lungo copricapo in pizzo portato dalle donne della Bretagna e, in particolare, di questa regione.

La coiffe bigoudène si caratterizza per la sua altezza di oltre 30 centimetri.

La coiffe bigoudène trae origine dalla cuffia nera portata dalle donne bretoni nel XIX secolo, che successivamente iniziò ad ingrandirsi tra il 1918 e il 1940.
Pare che tale innalzamento ricordi un fatto storico, ovvero un atto di protesta contro re Luigi XVI che aveva fatto abbattere le guglie dei campanili, protesta durante la quale le donne avevano sollevato le loro coiffes.

Oggi questo copricapo è ancora indossato da un centinaio di donne. Negli anni sessanta, erano invece 3.000 le donne che seguivano ancora questa tradizione.

Il costume tradizionale del Bigouden
Il costume tradizionale del Bigouden prese forma soprattutto tra il 1850 e il 1900 come evoluzione del costume tradizionale bretone, che iniziò a discostarsi da quello del resto della Francia dopo la Rivoluzione francese.

Sia il costume femminile che quello maschile si caratterizzano per i particolari ricami, che possono raffigurare soggetti vari, quali il sole (simbolo di gioia), il cuore (simbolo dell'amore), la felce (simbolo di abbondanza), la piuma di pavone (simbolo di fierezza), le corna di montone (simbolo di coraggio e di forza), la lisca di pesce (in ossequio alle tradizioni marinaresche della zona), il dente di una sega (simbolo del lavoro), ecc.

La realizzazione di questi ricami spetta agli uomini.

As a senior, he led the country with 3.5 steals per game and was 18th in blocks per game with 2.3. He was one of just three players to average at least 2.0 steals and 2.0 blocks in the last 20 seasons.
"I think the defense is really the primary sell," said Sports Illustrated NBA Draft analyst Jeremy Woo. "He's obviously very athletic. He covers a lot of ground. He's long. He's a great shot blocker. He blocks a lot of shots from behind in that zone."
The back-to-back Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year, Thybulle was also named the Naismith Defensive Player of the Year and was the recipient of the Lefty Driesell Award, which is given to the nation's top defensive player. He became the 15th UW player selected in the first round. Most recently, the 76ers made Markelle Fultz (Orlando Magic) the No. 1 overall pick in 2017.
Thybulle finished his UW career with 330 steals, breaking the Pac-12 record set by Gary Payton. He recorded 126 steals last season, which set the conference single-season record previously held by Jason Kidd. His 182 career blocks also rank in the top 20 in Pac-12 history.
The only player in the last 20 seasons to record 100 steals and 70 blocks in the same season, Thybulle was also named to the All-Pac-12 first team and all-defensive team. He was an AP All-America honorable mention selection and the AP Pac-12 Player of the Year.
"There's always a question with the players who played primarily in a zone defense but for Matisse, I don't think there's really any question," said Kyle Boone, a draft analyst for CBS Sports. "I think he's the draft's best defender. His length is really beneficial for him and again, I go back to the point that he has really high instincts when it comes to anticipating passes and things like that."
Thybulle averaged 9.1 points and 3.1 rebounds per game last season. He started all 135 games of his UW career and finished with 1,240 points. He shot 41.5 percent from the field and 30.5 percent from the 3-point line as a senior.
"You've seen his 3-point shooting percentages tail off but he's got a good-looking shot mechanics and I think it will translate to the NBA," Boone said. "I think you have to hope that he figures out his shot in a more open system in the NBA. I think it will actually be pretty friendly to him."
Philadelphia finished with a 51-31 regular-season record last season and advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Hunter × Hunter Alphabet
Item Statistics
The World of Hunter × Hunter
Episode 2 (1999)
The Hunter × Hunter Alphabet is a simple substitution cipher for Japanese.
The alphabet in the world of Hunter × Hunter is made up of runic looking symbols. In reality these symbols are simple substitutions for Japanese kana, the collective term for hiragana and katakana; two of the three written systems in Japan.
In other words, a specific character in the Hunter × Hunter alphabet corresponds to a specific kana in Japanese. This in extension means that all the signs and written media seen throughout the World of Hunter × Hunter are real Japanese words and sentences, and can thus be rendered readable in all cases, provided that one knows the cipher and understand Japanese Kana.
The characters used in the cypher were created by Yoshihiro Togashi, the mangaka.
Gallery of Individual Signs Edit
The symbol similar to the uppercase letter U in normal position is absent from the charts that compile the Hunter × Hunter Alphabet, but it appeared, in Chapter 187, integrating a word on the cover of one of the three books that Kite turn in to Wong[1] (from the zoological agency of the Kakin Empire government). The word is decrypted as ほ(?)こくしよ/ho(?)kokushiyo, probably standing for 報(ほう)告(こく)しよ()()()()()()()() (Hōkoku shiyo) translated as "to report". In Roman transliteration the long vowel [o] is usually indicated by "ō", "oo", or "ou", so the Hunter × Hunter Alphabet character that makes more sense to be used is the one that look like an inverted uppercase letter U (similar to: Ո) (already deciphered as う/u). Yoshihiro Togashi may have drawn the fictional cipher inverted by accident.

MARTINEZ — With one middle blocker limited and the other injured, the Alhambra High boys volleyball team relied on Jerald Jianoran to capture the program's first North Coast Section Division 2 championship in Friday's four-game finals win over Las Lomas.
Jianoran had 21 kills and 30 digs to help the host Bulldogs (27-5) overcome a ferocious fourth-game surge by the Knights and prevail 19-25, 25-16, 25-21, 26-24.
Even when Las Lomas (24-14) strategized against the 6-foot-9 Will Jochum, who still had 19 kills, or when Christian Cota left the second game with a hurt shoulder.
Alhambra coach Peter Crowley praised the team effort and setter Savion Prieto, who had 48 assists. But it was Jianoran who made the difference.
"He can hit anything," Crowley said. "He hits out of the back row as well as he hits out of the front row, and that's a real valuable thing, especially against a big block like they have.
Leor Schiffer had 13 kills and 13 digs to lead Las Lomas, which like Alhambra advances to the CIF NorCal championships that start Tuesday. His influence was particularly clear during a service streak that brought the Knights back from a 21-15 deficit to tie the fourth game.
Crowley pointed to an almost opposite situation in the semifinals, when the Bulldogs trailed by seven points late in the fourth game but rallied to win, for providing a mental boost Friday.
"Having that ability to come back and win gives this team a kind of confidence, that they can do it if they set their mind to it," he said.
Like his teammates, Alhambra libero Allin Torio — whom Changaris called "incredible" — was all smiles after the triumph.

\section{Introduction}
Intermittency has been observed in a variety of real settings as well in a
vast number of numerical models. A great deal of effort
has therefore gone into understanding these modes of behaviour in the context
of deterministic dynamical systems theory. These studies have demonstrated the
existence of a number of different types of intermittency (such as
Pomeau--Manneville \cite{pomeau}, Crisis \cite{grebogietal},
On-off \cite{ashwinplattspiegel} intermittencies), each with their own
associated signatures and scalings.  Many of these forms of intermittency have
in turn been concretely shown to be present in experiments and numerical
studies of dynamical systems in a variety of settings (see
\cite{ottbook93,numerics,1overf}
and references therein).

An important potential domain of applicability of such behaviour arises in
understanding the mechanisms underlying the intermediate time scale
variability in the Sun \cite{eddy76-weiss} - the occurrence of the so called {\it Maunder} or
{\it grand minima} - during which solar activity (as deduced from the sunspot
numbers) was greatly diminished \cite{eddy76-weiss,beer98}. This behaviour is
also confirmed by evidence coming from the analysis of proxy data
\cite{stuiver}.
There is also some evidence for similar types of variability in solar-type
stars \cite{weiss94etc}.

The idea that some type of dynamical intermittency may under pin the
grand minima type variability in the sunspot record (the {\it
intermittency hypothesis} \cite{tavakol-covas99}) goes back at least to
the late 1970's \cite{tavakol78,zeldovichetal83,spiegel85etc}.  This
idea has been the subject of intense study over the recent years and
has involved the employment of various classes of dynamo models,
including ordinary differential equations (ODE) (e.g.\
\cite{zeldovichetal83,jonesetal85} as well as partial differential
equations (PDE) models (e.g.\ \cite{schmitt,tt,tobias96-97,inout}).  In
addition to the phenomenological evidence for the presence of
intermittent-type behaviours in dynamo models
\cite{schmitt,tt,tobias96-97,brooke98,brooke97}, concrete evidence has
recently been found for the presence of particular types of
intermittency in both ODE dynamo models \cite{covas97c,covas97d} as
well as a recently discovered generalisation of on-off intermittency,
referred to as {\it in-out} intermittency \cite{act99}, in PDE models
\cite{inout}.

Here we wish to report concrete evidence for the occurrence of two other types
of intermittency, namely the crisis--induced and Pomeau--Manneville Type-I
intermittencies, in PDE mean--field dynamo models.
The organisation of the paper is as follows. In Sec.\ II
we briefly introduce the model studied here. Sec.\ III summarises our
evidence demonstrating the presence of these types of intermittencies
in this model and finally in Sec.\ IV we draw our conclusions.
\section{Model}
Ideally one would wish to employ the full 3-dimensional dynamo models
with a minimum number of approximations and simplifying assumptions.
Despite a number of important recent attempts
\cite{gilman83,nordlundetal92,brandenburgetal96},
the difficulty of dealing with small scale turbulence
makes a detailed and extensive self consistent study of such fully
turbulent regimes in stars still computationally impractical
(see e.g.\ \cite{nordlundetal92,cattaneoetal91,mossetal95,vainshtein}.

In view of this an alternative approach in studies of
stellar dynamos has been to employ mean--field models
\cite{jonesetal85,schmitt,tobias96-97,brooke98,steenbecketc,brandenburg89}.
We should mention that there is an ongoing debate regarding
the nature and realistic value of such models
\cite{vainshtein}. Nevertheless, 3-D
turbulence simulations do seem to produce magnetic fields whose global
properties (such as field parity and time dependence)
are similar to those expected
from corresponding mean--field dynamo models \cite{brandenburg99b}.
In this way mean--field dynamo models seem to reproduce
certain features of the more complicated models and allow the study of certain
global properties of magnetic fields in the Sun
and solar-type stars (see for example \cite{brandenburg99b,brandenburg99a}).

The standard mean--field dynamo equation is given by
\begin{equation} \label{dynamo}
\frac{\partial {\bf B}}{\partial t}=
\nabla \times \left( {\bf u} \times {\bf B} + \alpha {\bf B} - \eta_t
\nabla \times {\bf B} \right),
\end{equation}
where ${\bf B}$ and ${\bf u}$ are the mean magnetic field and mean velocity
respectively and the turbulent magnetic diffusivity $\eta_t$ and the
coefficient $\alpha$ arise from the correlation of small scale turbulent
velocities and magnetic fields ($\alpha$ effect) \cite{krause}.
We consider the usual algebraic form of $\alpha$--quenching namely
\begin{equation}\label{alpha_a}
\alpha=\frac{\alpha_0 \cos \theta}{1+ |{\bf B}|^2},
\end{equation}
where $\alpha_0={\rm constant}$ and $\theta$ is the co-latitude.

We solve Eq.\ \ref{dynamo} in an axisymmetric configuration and in
the following, as is customary \cite{brandenburg89}, we shall discuss the
behaviour of the solutions by monitoring the total magnetic
energy, $E={1\over2\mu_0}\int{\bf B}^2dV$, where $\mu_0$ the
induction constant, and the integral is taken over the
dynamo region. We split $E$ into two parts,
$E=E_A+E_S$, where $E_A$ and $E_S$ are
respectively the energies of the antisymmetric and symmetric
parts of the field with respect
to the equator.  The overall parity $P$ is given by
$P=[E_S-E_A]/E$, so $P=-1$
denotes an antisymmetric (dipole-like) pure parity solution
and $P=+1$ a symmetric (quadrupole-like) pure parity
solution.

For the numerical results reported in the following section,
we used a modified version of the axisymmetric dynamo code
of Brandenburg {\em et al.} (1989) \cite{brandenburg89}
employed recently in \cite{cutpaper}.  These models are
constructed from a complete sphere of radius $R$ by removing
an inner concentric sphere of radius $r_0$ and a conical
section of semi-angle $\theta_0$ about the rotation axis,
from both the north and south polar regions (see \cite{cutpaper}
for details of the model and the relevant parameters).  To
test the robustness of the code we verified that no
qualitative changes were produced by employing a finer grid
and different temporal step length (we used a grid size of
$41\,\times\,81$ mesh points and a step length of
$10^{-4}R^2/\eta_t$ in the results presented in this paper).
For the following results we use $C_\Omega=-10^{4}$, which
give the magnitude of the differential rotation and
$\theta_0=45^{\circ}$. The magnitude of the $\alpha$-effect
is given by the dynamo parameter $C_{\alpha}$.

In the next section we show in turn
concrete evidence for the occurrence of
crisis--induced and Pomeau--Manneville Type-I
intermittencies.
\section{Results}
\subsection{Crisis--induced Intermittency}
As far as their detailed underlying mechanisms and temporal signatures
are concerned, crises come in three varieties \cite{grebogietal}.
Here we shall be concerned with only one of these types, referred to as ``attractor merging
crisis'', whereby as a system parameter is varied, two or more chaotic
attractors merge to form a single attractor.
There are both
experimental and numerical evidence for this type of intermittency (see for
example \cite{grebogietal,ottbook93} and references
therein). In particular, this type of behaviour has been discovered in a 6-dimensional
truncation of mean--field dynamo models \cite{covas97c}.

Fig.\ \ref{Crisis.series} shows the plots of the energy and parity for the
above model as a function of time, calculated with $r_0=0.2$ and $C_\alpha = 25.202$
which show a bimodal behaviour, switching
intermittently between two different chaotic states.

\begin{figure}[!htb]

\caption{\label{Crisis.series}

with $r_0=0.2$, $C_\alpha=25.202$, $C_\Omega=-10^4$ and $\theta_0=45^{\circ}$.
}
\end{figure}

To determine the nature of this behaviour more
precisely, we have plotted in
Fig.\ \ref{return_map.eps} the return maps
for the PDE models (1),
showing the attractors before and after
the merging.
As can be seen the resulting merged attractor is, as expected,
larger than the superposition of the
two pre-existing attractors.

These results can be taken as indications
for the presence of crisis--induced intermittency
in this model. To substantiate this further,
we recall that another important signature of this type of intermittency
is the way $\tau$, the average time between switches, scales with
the system parameter, in this case, $C_\alpha$. According to
Grebogi {\em et al.} \cite{grebogietal}, for a large class
of dynamical systems this relation takes the form
\begin{equation} \label{scaling}
\tau \sim \left|C_\alpha-C_\alpha^* \right |^{-\gamma},
\end{equation}
where the real constant $\gamma$ is the critical exponent characteristic
of the system under consideration and $C_\alpha^*$ is the critical value of $C_\alpha$
at which the two chaotic attractors merge.

\begin{figure}[!htb]
\centerline{\def\epsfsize#1#2{0.43#1}\epsffile{return_map.eps}}
\caption{\label{return_map.eps}
Return maps showing the attractors in the PDE model (1) before (top panels) and after the
merging (bottom panel).
Note that as expected the merged attractor
is larger than the superposition of the two previous attractors.}
\end{figure}

The model under study here is a PDE system which is formally infinite
dimensional. Such PDE models are numerically costly to integrate over
long enough intervals of time (sometimes in excess of 5000 time units)
necessary in order to obtain the scaling of the type (\ref{scaling}).
Furthermore, the demonstration of such scaling requires a precise
determination of the critical value $C_\alpha^*$ which is difficult
since as one approaches this value $\tau$ diverges and the integration
time becomes prohibitive.  Despite these difficulties, we have
succeeded to obtain strong evidence for the presence of such a scaling
as depicted in Fig.\ \ref{Crisis.statistics}, with the corresponding
$\gamma=1.08 \pm 0.05$. Grebogi {\em et al.} \cite {grebogietal}
conjecture that there may be a general tendency for $\gamma$ to be
larger for higher--dimensional attractors. We do have a value of
$\gamma$ higher than the previous one found for a related six
dimensional ODE dynamo model \cite{covas97c} but much lower than the
value range suggested by Grebogi {\em et al.} Therefore, the
conjectured range may need modification for large high--dimensional
systems.

\caption{\label{Crisis.statistics}
Scaling of the average times between switches
$\tau$ as a function of $(C_\alpha-C_\alpha^*)$
 for crisis
induced intermittency for the model (\ref{dynamo}).
The slope is found to be
$\gamma=1.08 \pm 0.05$}
\end{figure}

There is also evidence for an enlargement of the final attractor
after merging, as shown by the larger amplitudes of
variation in the parity, in the sense that the parity gets
closer to $-1$ after the merging, as depicted in Fig.\
\ref{return_map.eps}. This helped us
to numerically arrive at a better estimate for the critical value
$C_\alpha^*$.

These indicators, taken together, amount to strong evidence for the
presence of crisis--induced intermittency for this model.
\subsection{Pomeau--Manneville Type-I Intermittency}
This type of intermittency, which is
brought about through
a tangent bifurcation, results in the system switching back and
forth between a ``ghost'' periodic orbit and sudden
bursts of chaotic behaviour \cite{pomeau}.
There are both
experimental and numerical evidence for this type of intermittency
(see for example \cite{numerics,hirsch} and references
therein). In particular this type of behaviour has been discovered in a 12-dimensional
truncation of mean--field dynamo model \cite{covas97d}.

To demonstrate the presence of this type of intermittency in the above PDE
dynamo model, we have plotted in Fig.\ \ref{TypeI.series} the energy and parity
as a function of time for the parameter values $r_0=0.7$ and $C_\alpha = 28.0 $, which clearly
demonstrates switches between nearly periodic behaviour and sudden bursts. We
note that interestingly the energy in this case shows strong modulation which
could be of interest in accounting for the occurrence of grand type minima
in sunspot activity.

\begin{figure}[!htb]
\centerline{\def\epsfsize#1#2{0.46#1}
\epsffile{ND_r=0.7_Calph=28.0_f=0.0_p=0.0_Comega=-1.0e4_Angle=-0.7854_mesh=041x081_eps=0.01_i=1_a=0.eps}}
\caption{\label{TypeI.series}
Example of Type-I intermittency in a shell dynamo with a cut,
with $r_0=0.7$, $C_\alpha=28.0$, $C_\Omega=-10^4$ and $\theta_0=45^{\circ}$.}
\end{figure}

Another signature of this type of intermittency is provided by the specific
characteristics of its corresponding power spectrum.  By employing finite
dimensional maps\,\cite{1overf}, it has been shown that the corresponding
spectra have a broad-band feature whose shape obeys approximately the
inverse-power law $1/f$ for $f>f_s$, where $f_s$ is the saturation frequency.
Below this frequency there is a flat plateau induced by noise that causes
arbitrarily long laminar phases to become finite.

As further evidence for this type of intermittency in the model (1), we have
plotted in Fig.\ \ref{TypeI.statistics} the power spectrum at
$C_\alpha=28.0$, obtained by averaging over 16 different initial conditions
corresponding to different initial parities. As can be seen, the power spectrum
shows both the flat plateau and the $1/f$ power law scaling.

Taken together, these indicators amount to strong evidence for the presence of
Pomeau--Manneville Type-I intermittency for this model.

\section{Conclusion}
We have obtained concrete evidence, in terms of phase space signatures,
spectra and scalings to demonstrate the presence of crisis--induced and the
Pomeau--Manneville Type-I intermittencies in axisymmetric mean--field PDE
dynamo models.  Despite the rather idealised nature of these models, this is
of potential importance since it shows the occurrence of two more types of
intermittency (in addition to in--out intermittency recently discovered
\cite{inout}) in these models which may in turn be taken as an indication that
more than one type of intermittency may occur in solar and stellar dynamos.
This suggests that any observational programme for identifying the mechanisms
underlying grand minima type variability needs to take into account the
possibility that multiple intermittency mechanisms may be operative in
different stars of the similar type, or even in the same star over different
epochs.  This would also be of importance in the interpretation of proxy data. In
this way a more appropriate hypothesis regarding such variability would be
that of {\it multiple--intermittency hypothesis}. \\

Abstract During the late Miocene (similar to 5.5 Ma), a large-scale submarine slide with an area of approximately 18000 km(2) and a maximum thickness of 930 m formed in the deep-water region of the Qiongdongnan Basin. The large-scale submarine slide has obvious features in seismic profile, with normal faults in the proximal region, escarpments at the lateral boundary, and a pronounced shear surface at the base. The internal seismic reflections are chaotic and enclosed by parallel and sub-parallel seismic events. The main direction of sediment transport was from south to north and the main sediment source was the southern region of the Qiongdongnan Basin, which is located in the east of the Indo-China Peninsula and the north of the Guangle uplift. In this region, late Miocene strike-slip reversal of the Red River Fault, uplift and increased erosion of the Indo-China Peninsula, and an abrupt rise in the rate of deposition in the western part of the South China Sea provided the basic conditions and triggering mechanism for the large-scale submarine slide. The discovery of the large-scale submarine slide provides sedimentological evidence for the tectonic event of late Miocene strike-slip reversal of the Red River Fault. It can also be inferred that the greatest tectonic activity during the process of the Red River Fault reversal occurred at similar to 5.5 Ma from the age of top surface of the submarine slide.
