Pranksters made thousands of hoax calls to Hertfordshire Constabulary last year.
The force's call handlers answered 14,121 hoax calls between January and December 2017, which was 2.5 per cent of the total number of calls received throughout the year.
Which works out at the police receiving approximately one prank call every 37 minutes.
During 2017 Hertfordshire Constabulary received a total of 629,083 calls into its Force Communications Room – with 153,408 of these calls being made via the emergency 999 number.
On average 999 calls lasted three minutes and 45 seconds while calls on the 101 non-emergency number lasted four minutes and 36 seconds.

However, picking up the phone is not the only way to get in touch with police in Hertfordshire.
The force is reminding residents that there are a range of online options - which can be viewed by clicking here.
Chief Superintendent Richard Liversidge, who oversees public contact, said: "In the past year we've seen that increasing numbers of people are choosing to log on rather than pick up the phone when getting in touch about non-emergency matters.

"The service you receive online is the same as the response you get when dialling 101, with the same police staff in our FCR dealing with your report or enquiry.
"Through our website you can report a crime, a road traffic collision, anti-social driving and other matters. You can also speak to a call handler directly through our online web chat facility.
"The online reporting options should only be used in non-emergency situations. If there is a risk to life or property please always dial 999 so that we can get help to you as quickly as possible."


Venezuela's economic collapse ranks as one of the worst in modern history, an International Monetary Fund official said on Friday.
With an expected contraction of 15 percent this year, and 45 percent over the last five years, the collapse ranks among the most extreme of the past half-century, said Alejandro Werner, director of the IMF's Western Hemisphere Department.
"It is one of the worst economic crises we have seen in modern economic history," Werner told reporters.
The country also faces hyperinflation, with prices expected to rise 13,000 percent, he said during the spring meetings of the IMF and World Bank in Washington.
The oil-rich nation has seen a "spectacular" drop in crude production falling by half in the last 18 months, he said, which is a major problem for the cash-poor economy.
The country saw deadly protests last year, and people struggle with scarcities of basic food and medicine.
The International Organization for Migration says nearly a million Venezuelans have left the country over the past two years. Many head to Brazil, Colombia and Panama, and often beyond.
Washington has imposed tough financial sanctions on Venezuelan officials and entities, which prevent them from accessing international credit through US markets, speeding the economic ruin in the once prosperous South American country.


This is a general discussion area for those who are interested in Chris-Craft's connection with Gar Wood, the man, and the Company.
Not sure if the gauge panel on my 1929 28-30 is correct. The dash and panel look original to the boat but I have not seen the same gauge cluster in other Gar Woods. Before I have the panel restored I want to make sure it is correct.
I'm not the Gar Wood expert but my 1931 28-40 had a Consolidated panel.
You could have the wrong panel.
Or perhaps your boat might just use the three hole version.
I'm sorry but that is not the right panel for your boat. What you have is a 5-unit Stewart-Warner panel introduced in the early 1930s.
The 1929 28-30 models had individual gauges (the 28-40s did use an oval Reliance panel). The rolling barrel Stewart tach was similar to what Model A Ford cars used. I am not sure what brand the other individual gauges were, but I will look. They were 2-inch Oil Pres., Amp, and Water Temp.
For 1930-1933 the 28-foot Gars used a Consolidated panel, similar, but fancier than the Stewart-Warner one you have.
Good news is I don't have to spring for a panel restoration. My dash looks correct someone just put a panel into it. Does the tach in the picture look correct? Was there a push button to start the engine?
It takes what is known as a 'barrel' tach made by Stewart.
Yes, there was a black start button between the ammeter and tach. And a light bulb fixture above the tach.
Thank you Brian. In the dash you posted, is the hole to the left of tach for the start button? Would it be the same start button on my 16-35 pictured below?
Yes and yes. The one in my pic had been changed.
My transom bands were 14gauge and beveled to almost nothing on the forward edge. Was this original? They also appear to have been cut off just below the splash rail; I presume they should extend all the way to the chine.
Steering wheel is made of Walnut, should it be stained the color of the hull or something different?
Does anyone have a good picture of 1920's Delco Remy push pull switch?

Can someone tell me the correct number of step pads on a 1929 Gaw wood triple? I have a 1929 brochure that shows 4 but many of the boats I see have 6. Not sure what is correct?
Back to the panel conversation; I have been able to locate the correct oval Reliance panel for a 1929 28-40 but had a few questions about the color of the panel and gauges as well as the ignition switch. I have seen pictures of a '29 Gar Wood oval Reliance panel with a white panel and black gauges and a Gar with a black panel with black gauges. Dodge used the oval Reliance panel with a black background and white faces (sharp!). Mark Clawson recall's Gar Wood using a black background with white amp, temp and oil with a black tach but was not certain. Hoping an expert is out there than can provide the definitive color combination. Also, did Gar Wood have any writing on the gauge panel like Dodge used? For the ignition switch, Gar Wood used a Buick switch, was there any logo or writing on the ignition switch? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is Same-Sex Marriage in India's Future?
A same-sex Indian couple is fighting against the odds for their right to get married.
Kavita Arora and Ankita Khanna, a couple in New Delhi, petitioned a court in October for the right to marry, Newsweek reports. They argue that without legal recognition of their relationship, they are "strangers in law." A court heard the petition on January 8, and the ruling could impact marriage equality for over 2.5 million LGBTQ Indians.
Arora, age 47 and a psychiatrist, and Khanna, age 36 and a psychologist, were motivated by the COVID-19 pandemic. They were concerned that they would not be permitted to make medical decisions on one another's behalf if either should become ill.
The couple met in 2006 while working at a mental health hospital, founded by Arora, treating children and adolescents. Getting together in 2012, they said the lack of legal recognition didn't initially bother them. "It never felt criminal to us," Arora said. However, it was the impact of the 2018 ruling on their LGBTQ patients that changed their attitudes.
Another aspect that motivated the couple to fight for same-sex marriage was encountering bureaucratic problems that impacted their relationship. Banks wouldn't allow Arora and Khanna to open joint accounts; they had difficulty establishing a permanent address for Khanna; and the couple encountered officials, either ignorant or in denial, who regularly asked if they were sister, mother and daughter, or landlord and tenant.
Arora and Khanna considered their role in the fight for marriage equality and how it might impact younger LGBTQ Indians. Arora said, "When I was 18, I wish I had an ordinary couple to relate to. In many ways, I am doing this for my younger self." Khanna added, "We did zoom-out [to] think about what this petition will mean for every young person we work with. That really was a turning point for us in this."
If the couple wins their case in court, constitutionally, marriage equality will apply to the entire country unless another court in another state makes an opposing ruling. For instance, a 2009 ruling decriminalized same-sex relationships only to be overturned by the supreme court in 2013. After five years and several counter-petitions, same-sex relationships were finally decriminalized. Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party has also expressed opposition to same-sex marriage from the government.
A 2019 survey indicates 62% of Indians do not support same-sex marriage — a statistic fueled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and a conservative government, as well as religious groups. LGBTQ people contend with discrimination and violence throughout the country, and are fighting to ban conversion therapy.
As EDGE reported last year, before the repeal of Indian penal Code 377, which challenged its constitutional validity on the specific ground that it criminalized consensual sexual intercourse between adult persons belonging to the same sex in private, the LGBTQ community faced public outings, LGBTQ parties and nightclubs migrated underground to avoid police raids, and some openly queer film and music artists implied their work — depicting positive LGBTQ representation — was, as EDGE noted, "considered untouchable by distributors."
Like many other cultures that slowly progress toward equal rights and protections for its LGBTQ citizens, India's 2018 Supreme Court ruling decriminalizing same-sex relationships hasn't put a halt to discrimination. The LGBTQ community in India continues to work not only toward expanded legal rights and protections but also toward greater representation that can impact positive social change for the community. The Aravani Art Project, a collective of transgender and female-identifying artists, painted a mural called "The Story of Bangalore" designed to give voice to transgender experiences in India.

William Shatner Reflects on Complex Friendship With Leonard Nimoy On Milestone Star Trek Anniversary
Home / Stars / William Shatner Reflects on Complex Friendship With Leonard Nimoy On Milestone Star Trek Anniversary
by Mario Perez Posted on September 8, 2021 at 4:55 pm
Updated on September 9, 2021 at 9:06 am
This September 8th marks the 55th anniversary of the beginning of Star Trek, with the airing of the first episode back in 1966. Paramount + the streaming platform that carries most of the shows and movies from the beloved franchise filmed a special to commemorate the date. In it, 90-year-old William Shatner recalls his friendship with his late co-star Leonard Nimoy who played Mr. Spock. These days Shatner seems to only remember the good parts of their relationship. According to other sources their friendship off-camera didn't always have the continued success of their hit show.
What Shatner Remembers
In the special William Shatner only remembers the good times that the pair had together. We're not sure if literally at this point he can't remember some of the issues that went down over the years. Potentially though, with the special being put together to commemorate the series it wouldn't make sense for Shatner to criticize the late Nimoy in his interview. Shatner said about Nimoy,
"Leonard was my dearest friend. I loved Leonard Nimoy. We had success, envy, anger, love, passion," That part about envy and love may have been a bit more serious than Shatner remembers. He also mentioned, "I loved Leonard as my dearest brother, when he died, a part of me died."
Shatner & Nimoy Had Drifted Apart in Later Life
Although Shatner even wrote a book on his friendship with Nimoy the two had drifted apart in later life. Shatner to this day mentions that he does not remember why they had stopped talking in their later years. There was certainly some animosity between the two. Even though William claims that a part of him died with Nimoy, Shatner was nowhere to be found the day of the funeral. He would excuse himself saying that he was too hurt to attend. However, it would later come out that Captain Kirk was actually at a charity event that he was potentially paid to attend the day of the funeral. Nimoy's son Adam mentions on the relationship,
"I think Bill and Dad loved each other, but they had their ups and downs,"
Captain Kirk Isn't Easy To Get Along With
At 90 years old Shatner is still hard at work participating in his own TV show where he explores all sorts of unexplained phenomenons. Although he's a hard-working man he's potentially someone who is hard to get along with. The man was going through a divorce at almost 90 years old, which should say something about his character. Another Star Trek alumn, though, George Takei, has also criticized Shatner. Calling him self-centered. While Walter Koenig, who played Ensign Pavel Chekov in the original series declined to interview for a Shatner biography unless pictures of Shatner f*cking a horse could be included in the book! If his relationship with Nimoy soured, the ones that he had with the rest of the case weren't any better.
Still Keeping Nimoy's Memory Alive
Whether they had a falling out or not it seems that Shatner does still hold fond memories of the man who played Mr. Spock. We are not just saying this for the kind words that he had to say about Nimoy for this new Star Trek special. Shatner has mentioned in the past, that he had not kept any type of memorabilia from the original show. However, the one that he does have from his days on the SS Enterprise is a token of his friendship with Nimoy,
"I have nothing of Leonard's. I have no 'Star Trek' memorabilia at all. [All] I have a picture of him and me laughing in my office,"

Adamson announces first Project Energia partner in Italy
Already boasting a vast itinerary of Adamson products, Termoli-based hire company Lombardi SLR has become Italy's first Project Energia partner.
With an existing Adamson inventory of Y18s, Y10s, T21 Subs, SpekTrix Series, Metrix Series, M15 and M215 monitors, Lombardi has been worked with some of the biggest names in Italian touring, such as Gigi D'alessio, Anna Tatangelo, and provided sound production for such high profile events such as Umbria Jazz and Notte Della Taranta.
Lombardi's inaugural show with the new Adamson E15 system was Umbria Jazz in Perugia. The system was provided for Reference Laboratory, who has been handled the festival's sound for the past 25 years. Head of sound on the event's main stage 'Arena Santa Giuliana' was Cristiano Grassini, who is also a FOH and systems engineer for Lombardi SLR.
When contemplating the sound system design, which has evolved over the years with several key figures involved, including Didier Dal Fitto of DV2, one of the key factors to consider is the wide range of artists and their specific audio requirements. Featuring the likes of Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, Sonny Rollins, Chick Corea, John Scofield, Al Jarreau, and Erykah Badu, the event also hosts a reggae night, where optimum low-end is a prime requirement. With this in mind, the Adamson E15 with the T21 sub combo was specified to meet the event's demands. Meanwhile, in order to ensure the first E15 event in Italy was a success, Adamson Europe's director of operations Jochen Sommer flew in for the prep and to provide technical support for the festival's duration.
Angelo Tordini of Reference Laboratory, who encouraged Lombardi SLR to join Project Energia commented: "The closing show of the festival featured a highly acclaimed show by Sting. We received great reviews about the sound from the festival organisers, as well as the local and visiting engineers."
On becoming the latest Project Energia partner, Lombardi SLR owner Pasquale Lombardi added: "For many years Lombardi has had a trustworthy relationship with utmost professional respect towards Reference Laboratory. Originally, when Tordini suggested to test the Adamson Y-Axis I took a chance and just fell in love with it. Now, years later I decided to join the Energia network because I consider it an investment in a very innovative, and the future's market-leading product."
The Lombardi SLR E15s are currently on the Gigi D'Alessio World Tour supporting his new album Chiaro.

It's Halloween tomorrow! If any part of that last statement was news to you, keep reading - I'm writing it for you. There are Halloween parties, there's trick-or-treating and there's the excitement of being able to dress up. Here are several last-minute costume ideas you can pull together before tomorrow.
One year, I hadn't planned on going out for Halloween so I didn't think of a costume. I think I wore a super-lame "costume" to work. It was so lame I don't even remember what it was. That night, with about 2 hours lead time, I was asked to join a friend at a Halloween party. I scrambled to get a more legit costume together.
I was a swimmer with a spare tire-ish. Okay, so the costume was pretty lame but it was fun. I grabbed all my swim stuff and made it bigger. I threw on some goggles, stuffed my suit so it looked like my stomach was spilling out all over the place and found an inner tube and squeezed myself into it. As I was leaving the house, I grabbed anything summery I could find and put it on me. Just like that, I had a costume.
Another year, I was a dead beauty queen. I went to the thrift store, picked out the first formal dress I could find, put lighter makeup all over my face with tons of powder and darkened around my eyes. I made a sash out of ribbon and used a sharpie to write "Homecoming Queen". Classy, I know. If I dressed as this "character" tomorrow, I would probably make the sash a bit more generic. I don't want to offend anyone. You just never know what people have been through. (I'm not sure when I got to be so politically correct, by the way). It was a costume and it worked perfectly. Add some hairspray to your hair and rat it a bit, throw some leaves and small branches into the rat's nest you've created on your head and get your dress dirty. Boom, you've just emerged from the grave.
I've gathered more ideas for last-minute costumes in the links below. Let me know if you choose to be one of these. I want to see your pictures! Fun!
These include: Child beauty pageant contestant, Charlie Brown, Tom Cruise in "Risky Business" and Olivia Pope from "Scandal."
These include: Cupcake, sushi, a bag of jelly beans, popcorn and a doughnut.
These include: ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, Snapchat, Tinder and Instagram.
These include a bunch of ideas like: Mary Poppins, "Cereal" killer, Potting Soil, Sock Monkey Lady and a street.
These include: Ceiling fan, Iron Chef and pumpkin "pi".
The Today Show always has great costumes so they're sharing the DIY versions of costumes past. They've also partnered with Studio DIY for more ideas. Old school TV characters like Laverne and Shirley are simple. Be the Queen of England or even Justin Bieber.
These are totally those "Why didn't I think of that" type of costumes. "A" from Pretty Little Liars, the Morton's Salt Girl and Rosie the Riveter.
Dress up as Godzilla, the frat boys in Neighbors or time travel with these ideas.
Do you have any ideas you can share?

Learn the Modified Somsak nerve transfer (medial head of triceps nerve transfer to anterior division of the axillary nerve through a posterior approach) surgical technique with step by step instructions on OrthOracle. Our e-learning platform contains high resolution images and a certified CME of the Modified Somsak nerve transfer (medial head of triceps nerve transfer to anterior division of the axillary nerve through a posterior approach) surgical procedure.
The triceps to axillary nerve transfer was popularised by Somsak Leechavengvongs for the management of deltoid paralysis in the C5 avulsion brachial plexus injury. Modifications have been described using the medial triceps branch and transfer to the whole axillary nerve to re-innervate the anterior and posterior deltoid as well as the theres minor. I prefer the medial triceps branch because it avoids denervation of the bi-articular long head of triceps which is important to maintain posterior shoulder stability in an otherwise paralysed shoulder. In addition the medial triceps has a greater motor axon density. I perform co-aptation to the anterior division in a pure axillary nerve lesion or to the anterior and posterior divisions after removal of the fascicle to the upper lateral cutaneous nerve of the arm from the posterior division in a C5 lesion. The latter technique provides restoration of external rotation through re-innervation of the theres minor. Restoration of external rotation in a C5 lesion is often weak when the traditional Somsak transfer to the anterior division is combined with spinal accessory transfer to the supra scapular nerve. The rationale for this technique will be discussed further in the spinal accessory to supra scapular nerve section.


Miss big blue eyes, her big brother and I are looking forward to a week of Fall break next week! First though big brother is going to put on his judo clothes and do battle with some other enthusiasts tomorrow. He's so looking forward to it.
I expect I will be clicking away on my needles with this project during the break, because, well, it is cold outside and I needed a hat yesterday! I am once again using the alpaca and wool yarn from Berrocco that I have left over from mitten making.
Click, click, clicky click... Enjoy a wonderful weekend!
What a precious girl! That is so funny, my brother also did Judo. Unfortunately, I was often on the receiving end of his practicing! Ouch!
Enjoy your break! And the new hat! I should get mine out too I think, it's getting cold indeed!
I just went and bought yarn for a hat for myself and mittens for the boys. We are going to need them soon, probably before I have them finished. Oh well. Enjoy your knitting.
I hope you enjoy the week! It sounds like a lovely autumnal plan!
Have a lovely break and looking forward to seeing the hat.
Miss big blue eyes is soo pretty and adorable! She make me smile....always! Fall is such a beautiful time and i really adore this season. Ohh yes and it's time for all your wonderful knitting items which i truely adore! Have a lovely merry happy weekend and love to you!
Have a fantastic break and come back with a warm hat over your head!
What a beautiful blue eyes girl! Enjoy your Autumn break.
I love that Alpaca & wool yarn from Berrocco. I made a shawl out of it that keeps me toasty no matter what the weather throws at me.
Thanks so much! That was really sweet of you!


Frédéric Lang (CONVECS, Grenoble, France) and Franco Mazzanti (FMT, Pisa, Italy) recently won all the gold medals for the "Parallel CTL" and "Parallel LTL" tracks of the RERS 2019 challenge.
In 2019, the RERS (Rigorous Evaluation of Reactive Systems) challenge took place within ETAPS, the primary European forum for software science, as part of the TOOLympics series of software competitions organized to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the TACAS conference.
The goal of the "Parallel CTL" track was to verify 180 properties expressed in the branching-time temporal logic CTL. These properties had to be evaluated on various complex systems, having up to 70 concurrent processes and 234 synchronization actions.
Similarly, the goal of the "Parallel LTL" track was to verify, on the same complex systems, 180 properties expressed in the linear-time temporal logic LTL.
Participants were given a period of only three weeks, starting from the publication of the RERS problems on the RERS web site, to compute and submit their answers. The correct results were only known by the organizers of the RERS challenge.
To attack such difficult problems, Lang and Mazzanti, who had never met before, decided to join forces, and managed to evaluate all the 360 CTL and LTL properties correctly. This was done by designing new verification algorithms and by reusing the compositional verification techniques implemented in the CADP toolbox developed by CONVECS.
They also used additional software tools, such as SPOT for converting LTL formulas to Büchi automata, as well as KandISTI and nuXmv to cross-check some of the results provided by CADP.
Although the rules of the RERS challenge allow the participants to use all possible computing facilities, including supercomputers, the judicious use of compositional verification techniques by Lang and Mazzanti enabled all problems to be solved in about 10 hours on a standard Dell laptop.
The two winners received awards of 625 euros offered by Springer Nature.
The picture to the right was taken during the reward ceremony organized in Prague (Czech Republic) on April 6th, 2019. From left to right: Malte Mues, Franco Mazzanti, Frédéric Lang, Bernhard Steffen, and Falk Howar.
The work of Frédéric Lang has been partly supported by the SECURIOT-2 project.
CADP is a software toolbox for the design of asynchronous concurrent systems, such as communication protocols, distributed systems, asynchronous circuits, multiprocessor architectures, etc. Developed since the late 80s, CADP is one of the two oldest model checkers that are still in use today. CADP is actively maintained and finds many applications, both in academia and industry. In March 2019, the 15,000th license of CADP was granted.
CONVECS is a research project-team common between Inria Grenoble Rhône-Alpes and the LIG (Laboratoire d'Informatique de Grenoble, France), a joint research center between CNRS, Inria, Grenoble INP, and Univ. Grenoble Alpes. The activities of CONVECS focus on the formal modeling and verification of asynchronous concurrent systems, which find applications in many different domains. In particular, CONVECS develops and maintains the CADP toolbox.
FMT (Formal Methods and Tools) is a research team of ISTI-CNR (Pisa, Italy). FMT is active in the fields of development and application of formal notations, methods, and software support tools for the specification, design, and verification of complex computer systems. These efforts are based mostly on the foundational concepts and techniques of process algebras, temporal logics, and model checking.
The RERS (Rigorous Examination of Reactive Systems) challenge is an international software competition held every year since 2011. RERS 2019 is the 9th edition of the challenge and features several tracks covering sequential, parallel, and industrial problems. Each track provides a wealth of problems of increasing complexity, the most involved of which are expected to be beyond any individual state-of-the-art method or tool. The "Parallel CTL" track was created in 2018 and the "Parallel LTL" track in 2019.
SECURIOT-2 is a collaborative project funded by the French government's FUI (Fonds Unique Interministériel) and supported by four competitiveness clusters (Minalogic, SCS, Systematic, and DERBI). The goal of SECURIOT-2 is to develop a secure microcontroller that will bring to the IoT environment a high level of security, similar to the one of the secure transactions industry (banking cards and ePassports), in conformity with the requirements of Common Criteria certification. Started in September 2017 for three years and led by TIEMPO Secure, SECURIOT-2 builds upon the expertise of its partners. The main contributions of CONVECS in this project are the formal modeling and verification using CADP of the secure microcontroller developed in the project.

Canadian rapper Tory Lanez has been charged in connection with a shooting involving rapper Megan Thee Stallion.
On Thursday, prosecutors handed down indictments against Lanez, charging him with assault with a semiautomatic firearm and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle. These charges don't really equal to Lanez actually shooting Megan, normally we would see some assault with a deadly weapon type charge if the target had been hit.
Lanez is due to be arraigned Tuesday in L.A. He could face up to 22 years and eight months in state prison if convicted as charged.
Prosecutors say they will ask the judge to set his bond at $1.1 million.
But if you don't remember, Lanez is accused of shooting at Megan Thee Stallion's feet, hitting her, after she left a SUV during a fight in the Hollywood Hills on July 12, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
Tory Lanez shoulda gone back to Canada a long time ago. Shooting a female cause she made you mad???

OBJECTIVE To describe the frequency, nature and location of acute chemical incidents in Wales, and the morbidity in employees, emergency responders and the general public who were exposed.
DESIGN Active multi-agency community-based surveillance system.
SETTING Wales, 1993–5.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Frequency, nature and location of incidents, populations potentially exposed and with symptoms.
RESULTS Most of the 402 incidents identified were not associated with sites governed by the Control of Industrial Major Accident Hazard Regulations but with smaller industrial sites and commercial premises. About two in every thousand of the estimated 236 000 members of the public considered to be at risk from exposure reported symptoms, which were mainly nausea, headaches, and irritation of the eye, skin and respiratory tract. The most commonly reported chemicals that members of the public were exposed to were smoke toxins, miscellaneous organics, toxic gases and flammable gases. A health authority was reported to be involved in only 34 (8%) of the incidents and in only 3 of the 29 incidents where more than 100 members of the public were exposed.
CONCLUSION A geographically defined, multi-agency surveillance system can identify high risk locations and types of incidents, together with the chemicals most likely to be involved. Such ongoing surveillance information is essential for appropriate policy making, emergency planning, operational management and training.

With the increasing numbers of new chemicals entering the global market each year—between 200 and 1000 new chemicals with production capacities in excess of one tonne per annum1—concern is growing about potential population health effects, particularly from accidental releases of chemicals such as occurred at Lowermoor,2 Bhopal3 and Seveso.4 Public concern itself may result in perceived health effects, as in the Worcester water incident,5 but a recent study of the grounding of the Sea Empress oil tanker on the Pembrokeshire coast reported real physical health effects in the general population after controlling for anxiety.6 Despite these concerns the frequency, type and consequences of incidents in the United Kingdom has not been documented systematically. We report here the results of a population-based study that provided a model for an on-going chemical incident surveillance scheme for the UK.
A chemical incident was defined pragmatically as any unforeseen event involving chemicals that causes ill health or that was considered by public health agencies to have the potential to cause ill health and that therefore necessitated an immediate response. Incidents that involved only occupational exposures within industrial premises were excluded from surveillance.
All 37 local authority environmental health departments, both port health authorities and one of the three fire brigades in Wales participated in a full three year study (1993–1995). In addition, daily press cuttings from the national Welsh newspapers were reviewed to identify incidents. The Welsh National Poisons Unit participated in 1994 and 1995.
Each agency received a monthly prompt to complete a specially designed reporting form for all incidents or to provide "nil returns". The variables collected were date; nature and location of incident; the source of initial notification; other agencies involved, the numbers exposed and with symptoms, chemicals released, and details of environmental monitoring and health surveillance undertaken. In most incidents actual numbers of people who were or who might be exposed could only be estimated roughly as biomarker surveys of exposure and dispersion modelling are seldom carried out. Therefore we have recorded the estimates made by local responders of the numbers of people at risk of exposure.
Acute chemical incidents involving exposure of communities are common.
Active, multi-agency systems are required for effective surveillance.
Health authorities are often not aware of chemical incidents.
National surveillance information is needed to develop evidence-based public health policy, emergency planning and training.
Four hundred and thirty five reports about 402 incidents were received; 271 (67%) from local authority environmental health departments (EHDs), 54 (13%) from Gwent Fire Service, 84 (21%) through the press cuttings and 26 (6%) from the Welsh National Poisons Unit (WNPU). There was little overlap in incident reporting with 367 (91%) incidents reported by a single agency. Only two incidents were reported by both the EHDs and the WNPU. Of the 90 incidents reported in the press, only 31 were also reported by EHD. Of the 55 incidents reported by Gwent Fire, only six were reported by EHD. EHDs identified incidents mainly through calls made by members of the public (43%) and by industry (10%), the fire service (13%), and the National Rivers Authority (11%), whereas poisons unit incidents were mainly identified through accident and emergency departments (65%). The Fire Service identified incidents mainly from industry (30%), the police (22%) and members of the public (17%).
The most frequently reported types of incident were chemical spills (30%), followed by airborne releases (23%), exposures to waste materials (14%) and chemical fires (13%) (table 1). Incidents occurred most commonly at operational industrial sites (31%), (but only 14 of these involved sites covered by the control of industrial major accident hazard (CIMAH) regulations), residential premises (13%), on the highway (11%) and in coastal waters (11%). Details of the chemicals released were provided in 354 (88%) of the 402 incidents. Seventy per cent (n=249) involved the release of a single chemical. Smoke toxins, from chemical, rubber, plastic, tyre and oil fires (n=28); miscellaneous organics (n=17); toxic gases, such as ammonia and chlorine (n=17); and flammable gases, such as methane and butane (n=15) were the most commonly reported classes of chemicals released (table 2).
Number of incidents, reported by nature and location of incident
Chemicals and chemical groups associated with incidents in Wales, 1993–19952-150
There were 204 incidents where an estimated 236 000 members of the public were at risk of exposure. In 29 incidents more than 100 members of the public were estimated to have been exposed. The commonest exposures were to gaseous emissions (for example, carbon monoxide) in residential premises (n=22), chemical spills (for example, acids) at operational industrial premises (n=20) and on the highway (n=10); spills of oils and sewage in coastal waters (n=10), water contamination (for example, contamination with pesticides) in residential premises (n=15) and waste deposits (for example, clinical waste and sodium hydroxide) in open public spaces (n=12).
In 64 incidents members of the public reported symptoms, with a total of 575 people becoming ill.
Table 3 shows the most common categories of incidents causing symptoms to be reported. The symptoms most commonly experienced in incidents were nausea (23 incidents), headache (22 incidents), respiratory irritation (20 incidents), eye irritation (14 incidents) and skin or nose and throat irritation (10 incidents). Of all the 64 incidents where members of the public experienced symptoms, the WNPU reported eight and the EHDs reported 53. The Health Authority was involved in only 14 of these 64 incidents.
Most frequently reported categories of incident in which members of the public reported symptoms
Emergency responders (fire, police and ambulance services) were exposed in 170 (42%) of the 402 incidents. In only nine incidents were symptoms reported with 28 (2%) of the 1514 responders affected. Twelve became ill after fires involving unspecified chemicals, industrial waxes and plastics, six had symptoms after work in a flood, three became ill after a release of wood preservative containing arsenic and copper, and one after a release of phenol fumes at a factory. Symptoms experienced were respiratory and eye irritation (four incidents) headache and throat irritation (three incidents), nausea (two incidents) and dizziness (one incident).
The overall health impact of accidental chemical exposures is unknown, as national data have not been available in the UK. Responsibility for management and documentation of accidents varies with the type and location of the chemical exposures. Population-based surveillance could provide information to describe the hazards to enable public health services to be better prepared for such incidents and to manage them more effectively.7-11
The All Wales Environmental Health Surveillance Project is the first population-based surveillance system of acute chemical incidents to have been described in Europe, although a similar surveillance system has been operational in some States in the United States of America since 1990.12-14 We have shown the necessity for a multi-agency approach as there was little overlap in the incidents reported by the various participating agencies. The combined reports from the three participating agencies, together with press cuttings, indicated that on average 2.6 chemical incidents involving community exposures and requiring an immediate public health response occurred each week in Wales with a population of about 2.9 million.
We undertook active surveillance to improve the timeliness of returns, and all eligible participating agencies consistently reported incidents or "nil returns" on a monthly basis. However, the representativeness of the system and the quality of the health outcome data could be improved further. The results in Gwent, where 52 incidents were reported only by the Fire Service suggests that the sensitivity of the surveillance system would have been improved by the participation of all fire services, as well as of other agencies in Wales. Press cuttings were shown to be a useful source of data that uniquely identified 54 incidents.
Health Authorities have been required since 1993 to have plans in place to respond to public health aspects of chemical incidents.15 The need for public health doctors to have a central role in planning for, and managing chemical incidents is well recognised.16-18 However, in this project the health authorities were only involved in the management of 34 of the 402 incidents. At the time, the primary public health focus for emergency planning was the Control of Industrial Major Accident Hazard (CIMAH) Regulations, 1984,19 recently amended by implementation of the COMAH Directive. Only 14 incidents over the three years of the project were reported at CIMAH sites. Early consideration must therefore be given to the need to develop plans and guidelines for dealing with the public health risks that arise more commonly at other sites.20
The identification of high risk locations and types of incidents, together with the chemicals most likely to be involved will also be of use to persons involved in emergency planning, to assure the availability of appropriate expertise, equipment and medicines in the future. Listing the chemicals most frequently involved in incidents is already helping to prioritise the development of toxicological profiles for use by public health professionals in Wales and to develop training programmes for emergency responders and public or environmental health professionals.
This multi-agency system demonstrated how surveillance could improve planning and management for chemical incidents. National surveillance of chemical incidents for the whole of the United Kingdom has subsequently been developed, improving on the sensitivity of this system by the addition of more reporting agencies. We would anticipate that hypotheses generated from surveillance will lead to work on prevention of such incidents and protection of the public health. This system could provide the basis for other systems such as centralised reporting of major incidents.21
We wish to thank the officers of all local authority environmental health departments in Wales, as well as those of the Welsh National Poisons Unit and the former Gwent Fire Service for the submission of monthly surveillance reports. We are also grateful to the 12 members of the Steering Group, under the chairmanship of Mr Ronnie Alexander, for their advice and guidance in the development and maintenance of the project.

Flénu est une section de la ville belge de Mons, située en Région wallonne dans la province de Hainaut.

C'était une commune à part entière avant la fusion avec Jemappes en 1971.

Bien que n'y étant pas parlé, Flénu se dit en wallon Flinnu. Pour une fois, la prononciation en patois local ne diffère pas (flin-nu).

Le drapeau est identique à celui de Jemappes: bleu et blanc. Les rues de Flénu étaient pleines de drapeaux autrefois, lors de la fête des mères, par exemple, jour de la ducasse de Flénu. Le seul vestige est le drapeau arboré lors des victoires du BC L'9, sur la façade du local.

Étymologie
Flénu se disait Flénut au . On fait venir ce terme du wallon flin qui veut dire « silex », ou encore du germain Flunöth, signifiant « bois d'érables, de frênes ».

Pour Hocq, Flénu aurait une origine germanique : « lieu pourvu en velin ».

Une autre étymologie fait dériver le mot Flénu du terme roman flenne (belette) et de la désinence ut, u (utum) qui marque le grand nombre. L'endroit aurait été abondant en belettes.

Géographie

Les quartiers de Flénu sont les suivants : le Champ de Bataille, le Genestrois, le Sergent (la « gagane », du nom de la rue du Moulin d'en Haut, anciennement rue de Cuesmes), le Campiau, le Haut-Flénu, les Produits, etc.

Histoire
Des établissements humains sont attestés dès le Néolithique par la découverte au , de puits d'extraction de silex comparables aux minières néolithiques de silex de Spiennes.

Au Moyen Age, le comte de Hainaut en tant qu'abbé laïc du chapitre de Sainte-Waudru, y possédait une seigneurie importante dont il tirait des revenus sur les terres, les bois et la justice. En l186, sous le règne du comte de Hainaut Baudouin V Le Courageux, le nom de Flénu est cité pour la première fois sur une liste des Domaines du Pays de Mons. En 1405, commence l'extraction officielle de la houille par le fonçage de deux trous dans le bois pour le compte des Dames de Mons de cette époque.
En 1452, Flénu devient un fief. Le charbon extrait ensuite par les diverses sociétés charbonnières a reçu le nom de « le Flénu ». Des conflits naquirent tôt entre les agriculteurs (fermiers du chapitre) et les charbonniers (concessionnaires des mines), ces derniers aliénant de bonnes terres de culture en y accumulant les déchets (premiers terrils).

La bataille de Jemappes (1792) se déroula en partie sur Flénu.

En 1868, un arrêté royal instaura la paroisse de Flénu. L'église était dédiée à sainte Barbe, patronne des mineurs. Le premier curé fut l'abbé Roland.

Mécontents de la fiscalité, les dirigeants des charbonnages introduisent une demande de séparation en 1866. Flénu fut érigée en commune le . Le premier mayeur est Joseph Doooms, les échevins Jules Wincq et Jules Depoustier et le secrétaire communal Henri Capouillez. Il fallut attendre 1879 pour que la maison communale soit inaugurée, en même temps que les écoles. L'instituteur en chef était Gustave Bouche.

Le 23 août 1914, l'armée allemande fusilla douze civils et y détruisit douze maisons lors des atrocités allemandes commises au début de la Première Guerre mondiale, lors des combats de la bataille de Mons. Les 24 et 25 août, 67 soldats allemands trouvèrent la mort à Flénu, de même que 17 Britanniques. Le 9 novembre 1918, Flénu fut libéré par les Canadiens.

Les puits ouverts aux  ont fourni du travail à un grand nombre d'hommes, de femmes et d'enfants (jusqu'à la loi de 1889). La crise des années « 30 » et les grèves de 1932, particulièrement violentes à Flénu, ont porté un coup mortel à l'activité économique de ce village. Les quatre puits encore exploités furent fermés en 1933 ainsi que l'atelier de construction. 3800 ouvriers perdirent leur travail. Les puits du Nord du Flénu et du Couchant du Flénu avaient été fermés en 1920.

Avec l'instauration du suffrage universel en 1921, l'ancienne majorité, issue de la direction des charbonnages, est supplantée par le P.O.B.. Après les grèves de 1932, un mouvement trotskyste, le daugisme, fondé par Walter Dauge (1907-1944) prit naissance à Flénu. Aux élections communale de 1939, les « daugistes » emportèrent 6 sièges, contre 4 au P.O.B et 1 à l'opposition de droite. Le mouvement ne survécut pas à l'occupation allemande. Walter Dauge fut assassiné en 1944 dans des circonstances restées mystérieuses.

Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, en 1944, la gare de formation fut bombardée par les alliés. La libération eut lieu le 2 septembre 1944 par les troupes américaines et anglaises.

L'Après-guerre est marquée par une forte immigration italienne. En 1948, le village compte  habitants (contre  en 1945) car Flénu, situé au carrefour des villages houillers de Quaregnon, Cuesmes et Jemappes servit de cité dortoir. De nombreux travailleurs immigrés sont logés dans baraquements, notamment dans le « camp de Sainte-Félicité ». Ces baraquements avaient été construits pour abriter les prisonniers de guerre forcés à travailler dans les mines. Des tunnels de tôles ondulées avaient servi de dépôts de munitions de l'armée américaine. Ces logements étaient, pour la plupart, insalubres.
 Pour parer au plus pressé, le Gouvernement obligea (sic) les charbonnages à racheter les anciens camps de prisonniers de guerre qui appartenaient à l'État belge et qui étaient composés de baraquements en assez mauvais état ; ces baraquements devaient permettre d'installer provisoirement les familles étrangères.

Le passé minier du village a modifié à jamais son relief et son paysage. C'est là que la majorité du charbon destiné à la région a été extrait. Flénu était un de ces villages tout en longueur où les cafés abondaient. Il n'en reste plus que trois ou quatre à présent. Le centre de l'économie de l'époque était l'extraction du charbon et le passage des ouvriers au café après leur travail.

En 1971, Flénu est de nouveau rattachée à Jemappes, puis à Mons en 1977, lors de la fusion des communes.

Le charbon
Le charbon était important à Flénu. Flénu est surnommée le village aux dix-huit terrils.

Le « charbon flénu », appelé aussi à « houille à longues flammes »  était très prisé pour l'alimentation des chaudières, le puddlage du fer, la cuisson des tuiles, des faïences, la fonte du verre à vitre et à la fabrication de gaz d'éclairage.

Son exploitation a commencé dès le . Le chapitre de Sainte-Waudru concédait les exploitations sur le fief du Flénu. De bonnes terres agricoles sont sacrifiées pour creuser des puits de mines. Les premiers terrils apparaissent. Des conflits survinrent entre les agriculteurs (fermiers du chapitre) et les charbonniers (concessionnaires des mines). L'exploitation industrielle ne commença réellement qu'au  avec la création de la Société des Produits de Flénu, constituée en 1835 par l'émission de 4000 actions de 1000 francs, soit un capital de 4 millions, et de la Société du Levant de Flénu. Elles fusionnèrent en 1932 dans une nouvelle société dite Charbonnage du Levant et des Produits de Flénu dont le siège était à Cuesmes. Trente ans après la création, les actions avait augmenté de 150% environ.

Culture
Le village a été le cadre de films sur le Borinage, notamment ceux d'Henri Storck, Misère au Borinage et de Paul Meyer, Déjà s'envole la fleur maigre.

Le centre de jeunes « la Flenne » occupe les locaux de l'ancienne maison communale/école pour former la jeunesse et organiser des conférences. L'Association s'appelle ainsi en raison de l'étymologie de Flénu. Le CCJ, centre culturel des jeunes, puis, centre culturel de Jemappes, a adopté une nouvelle formulation: CCJemappes-Flénu.

Sports

En sports, le basket est une mine d'or. Le B.C. Flénu est monté jusqu'en divisions nationales ce qui l'a obligé à émigrer de salle. Le Hall Omnisports de la piscine étant trop petit, c'est vers Quaregnon que le club s'est tourné, d'où sa dénomination actuelle: B.C. Flénu Quaregnon, surnommés les Pirates. C'est le B.C. L'9 Flénu qui a pris sa place, L'9 voulant dire le neuf donc le nouveau (abréviation jeu de mots légèrement patoisante). À noter : ils jouent en rouge et blanc pour ne pas les confondre avec Flénu-Quaregnon qui avaient les couleurs de Flénu, bleu et blanc.
La piscine est très prisée des sportifs, elle demeure une des seules du Grand Mons.
Le football a remis ses pieds à Flénu voici quelque temps avec la recréation du F.C. Flénu.
Pour le tennis, le club de Jemappes (R.T.C.J.) a construit un complexe couvert de deux terrains où les affiliés peuvent vivre leur passion en hiver et ce, depuis l'hiver 1993.
Toutes ces activités sont sur le même site, dans le quartier des « Produits ».

La piscine a malheureusement définitivement fermé ses portes en mai 2008 à la suite de graves dégradations par des délinquants et devaient rouvrir un an plus tard mais cela revenait trop cher donc elle est restée à l'abandon depuis mais une nouvelle salle de sports devrait voir le jour à la place de cette piscine, aucune date n'est prévue pour l'instant mais ce sera une salle de sport sans ballons (peut-être arts martiaux, fitness ou autre sans être sûre) à cause du plafond trop bas prévu à la base pour la piscine. Le BCL'9 est quant à lui toujours existant.

Back in January 2018, Chelsea spent a reported €20 million (plus up to an additional €9 million in bonuses) to bring Brazilian-Italian defender Emerson from Roma to Stamford Bridge. The then-23-year-old signed a contract with the club until the summer of 2022, with high hopes about his place in the future of the famous English club.
Emerson started his youth career with Santos FC in Brazil, his place of birth, before eventually moving on loan to Palermo for the 2014/15 Serie A season. The following summer, Roma signed Emerson on a one-year loan deal, before buying him outright for €2 million in January.
Emerson spent two and a half years at Roma, playing 47 times for the Giallorossi in all competitions, before moving to Chelsea. Under Antonio Conte, Emerson played seven times for the Blues; five in the Premier League and two in the FA Cup. He made his debut in March and was a common starter in the closing fixtures of the campaign.
However, this summer, Maurizio Sarri joined Chelsea as head coach to replace Antonio Conte, with the Italian leaving Napoli to move to London. Emerson is a left-back by trade and Maurizio Sarri has found a lot of faith in Marcos Alonso to play in that role and, therefore, Emerson is yet to play a competitive fixture under Sarri.
Emerson was born in Brazil to Brazilian parents but took up Italian citizenship after spending enough time in the country. Emerson represented Brazil at under-17 level, before eventually switch allegiance to Italy in March 2017. He was called up by Gian Piero Ventura in June 2017 but had to withdraw due to injury. Similarly, in May 2018, Roberto Mancini called up Emerson to his team but, once again, the defender withdrew due to an injury.
Emerson finally made his debut for the Italian national team on the 10th September, replacing Domenico Criscito as Italy lost 1-0 to Portugal in the UEFA Nations League.
Emerson has played more minutes for Italy than Chelsea this season and it looks like the defender has no place in Maurizio Sarri's short-term plans. Perhaps a loan move or possibly even a transfer could be on the cards in January, unless the defender manages to prove he's worth counting on.

I hope you all didn't miss us too much while we took a short trip and had a house guest for spring break. I'll share a few piccies with you of our trip to Friday Harbor, WA so that you can understand why I didn't bother to get my computer out even once.
This is the small rocky beach that was on the property we stayed at. Looking out, you see some of the other islands in the San Juans. When we first arrived, there was a harbor seal in these waters, waiting to welcome us. We saw him or her a couple times more during our trip.
Z, being an almost ten year old boy, found a spot up a tree to sit and ... play Gameboy. After a while of doing that, he threw rocks into the ocean.
It was gorgeous the entire time we were there, with only a few morning clouds followed by pristine blue skies the rest of each day.
One day we drove to British Camp (a.k.a. English Camp) and hiked up to the top of Young Hill.
The view from the top was stunning.
Another day, we went out to the lighthouse at Lime Kiln State Park. Sadly, the orcas have been in more southern waters recently so we didn't get to see any.
It was a great, last minute Spring Break trip and it was hard to come back home. This is a place we keep going back to every couple of years and will continue to do so probably for the rest of our lives.
Wow - what a gorgeous, gorgeous place.
I have been there! I am from California, but Washington may have to be my favorite state. My boyfriend's hometown is in Seattle. The first time I went to Orcas Island, I fell in LOVE! I can not wait to go back again.
I think the thing I like the most is that even though they're small islands, you feel like there's lots of open space and you can get away to somewhere quiet anytime you want. I hope you do go back soon!
