Reality, Game Show
Four icons compete to find and transform America's inspiring voices into music's next phenomenon.

Returning host Carson Daly and coaches Adam Levine and Blake Shelton are joined by two first-time coaches, Grammy winner Alicia Keys and pop wild child Miley Cyrus, for the 11th season of the highly rated vocal talent competition "The Voice." Contestants first compete in Blind Auditions, where coaches choose whether they want an artist on their team solely based on the sound of their voice. Those that make it past Blind Auditions go on to compete in Battle Rounds, Knockouts, Live Playoffs and Live Performance Shows, in which television viewers get to vote for their favorites. The winner at the end of the competition is crowned "The Voice" and given a coveted recording contract.

Christophe Von Hohenberg, The Day The Factory Died, Coldharbour London Gallery
This December Coldharbour London Gallery will be exhibiting The Day The Factory Died, a collection of never-before published photos by acclaimed fashion photographer Christophe Von Hohenberg, of Pop artist Andy Warhol's memorial service at St. Patrick's Cathedral in 1987. Curated by Aretha Campbell, the exhibition will bring together letters from the memorial, photographs, as well as works by Warhol himself. Published in conjunction with the exhibition, is a bible-like 176 page book featuring a calvacade of celebrities from the world's of Hollywood, Fashion, Pop Music, International Society and Art.
Von Hohenberg, came upon Warhol's funeral at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York, whilst on assignment for Vanity Fair. His probing lens snapping beautiful black and white photos, capturing the swirl of celebrity that forced itself, shoulder-to-shoulder into the event, it was as if Andy Warhol had planned his own funeral, a dizzying crush of fame and fakery.
The images, in this exhibition, convey warmth and sadness, despite the high-glitz factor of that day. Bianca Jagger, her hair pulled over one eye…The Stern defiant chin of Claus Von Bulow, looking down on the proceedings and the poor fools below him. A hurrying Robert Maplethorpe, angry mane blowing behind him. And the wild-eyed mania of punk and pop fashion designer Stephen Sprouse, perhaps the most Warholian of the subjects photographed.
The imaginatively-designed book, by Daniel Stark of Stark Design in New York City, features endpapers of the day-glo, Stephen Sprouse-designed, Warhol camouflage aprons that waiters wore at the luncheon following the memorial mass. It also features a foreword by well-known art writer Anthony Haden-Guest on Warhol's expanding and still-controversial legacy. The book as well features an essay entitled Time Capsule by New York cultural historian and curator Charlie Scheips, who collaborated with von Hohenberg on the creation of the book. Scheips draws together the events of that day, and the character of those times, both as a search for a lost, bygone era but also as a guide to for those too young to remember that halcyon era that Warhol profoundly influenced. The book features over 45 letters from many of the notable figures present that day as testimony to the influence which Warhol had on their own lives and times—in many different ways. It concludes with rarely-seen photos of the actual burial ceremony in Warhol's native Pittsburgh; and ends with a never-before published 1978 photo of Andy Warhol by Bill Kornreich.

Wheel Sport, a small local chain of bicycle sales and repair shops has it's eyes set on expansion. This with the reveal that the business has acquired a building in North Spokane for it's fourth store location.
The business will remodel the interior and exterior of the 3200 square foot building at 9501 N. Newport Hwy ( corner of Newport & Holland ) for this new store. As some may recall, the building last housed an auto repair business called Northgate Import Specialties . They hope to have the store open for business sometime this winter and like other Wheel Sport stores it will feature both retail bicycle sales and repairs. Construction plans even call for the new store to share the space with a small coffee shop.
Wheel Sport has been in business in the Spokane area for decades and even has been ranked as the best bike shop in the Inland Northwest for the last 15 years by readers of the Inlander. The business sells a number of bicycle brands including Specialized , Pivot Cycles, Fuji and many more including a selection of cycling accessories .
If you've been to the Fair, Hoopfest, Pig out in the Park or any number of local events you've likely noticed Mac Daddy's before . A food booth serving up incredible mac & cheese in some delicious forms like a mac & cheese burger to a grilled bacon mac sandwich and more. This locally owned and operated business has been keeping Spokane full and satisfied for a while now.
But, soon it won't be an every once and while event to eat Mac Daddy's. This is because Mac Daddy's is prepping to open a new brick and mortar restaurant called Mac Daddy's Pub and Grill!
I'm told the restaurant will not only have the same menu items as their event booths but even more with an expanded menu. They also have applied for a full liquor license to make them a sports bar type establishment . There isn't a set opening date just yet but they do hope to open next month. The new place will be located within the Fairwood Shopping Center at 415 W. Hastings Rd in North Spokane.
We can now confirm that Pendleton Woolen Mills will have a retail store soon here in Spokane.
Pendleton will lease a 3150 square foot storefront on the second floor or River Park Square in Downtown Spokane. Some remodeling will need to be done but the store should be ready to open as soon as November.
Pendleton is a popular high quality brand of blankets and wool clothing made for both men and women. The brand is sold through many different outlets including online. They also have a few other retail stores including a flagship store in Portland and 5 locations in Western Washington.
A new dollar store is setting up shop in the long vacant space in the center of the Division St. Square building at 3609 N. Division ( Suites C & D ). The new store which will go by the name Dollar Cents should be open sometime before the end of the month and will occupy 9300 square feet of space.
Dollar Cents will sell a wide variety of merchandise in small departments like most dollar stores and will actually order from largely the same suppliers as the Dollar Tree chain. The store will employ around 10 and will be the one and only Dollar Cents store. But that's just for the time being as they hope to change that. The owners hope to make the store a chain with goals to open new stores every 6 months. But, no sure thing about where or when any other stores may end up opening.
The Spokane foodie community is buzzing over what's new at The Buzz. For those that don't know The Buzz is the place that had been called The Buzz Coffeehouse, Bar & Lounge near Fred Meyer at 501 S. Thor in Spokane.
While they no longer have the coffee they do have a great selection of beers and wine. And now they also have an exciting food menu as well . The food menu offers many pizzas which is also the reason why they've switched their name over too The Buzz Pizzeria, Bar & Lounge.
Now guests of The Buzz Pizzeria, Bar & Lounge will find about a dozen specialty pizzas like Pesto Chicken, Thai Peanut, Veggie and more. Also, there is a list of toppings for those seeking to " build your own " pizza. Also on the menu is a few delicious sounding sub sandwiches, salads, wings , flatbreads and more. There is even several flavors of cheesecake available on the dessert menu.
Pizza's from The Buzz can be taken to go but the restaurant also has indoor seating and a bar on site. In the transition over to a more pizzeria type of restaurant they are also adding some arcade games and a juke box inside.
Wake Up Call Coffee to open a location at former Albertson's gas station on NW Blvd.
The final piece of the puzzle in the re-development of the former NW Blvd. Albertson's ( NW Blvd. / Maple ) is falling into place. Goodwill and Planet Fitness have already opened in the former grocery store building and the northeast side of the parking lot will so be home to another Carl's Jr fast food restaurant.
But that leaves the former Albertson's gas station space on the northwest side by Ash St. . The gas station's old convenience store building will actually stay standing and be remodeled. This for another new location of the local Wake Up Call Coffee chain.
Once only in Spokane Valley, Wake Up Call also recently opened 2 locations within the city limits of Spokane. This will be their eighth location overall serving a delicious menu of coffee, espresso and tea drinks and fresh baked goods, oats and treats.
There will be just one thing that sets this locations building plan apart from other Wake Up Call Coffee locations. That is the look of the building as all Wake Up Call stores have a large red London Phone Booth towards the front of the building. This is not included in the construction building plans, but it shows a new more streamlined design with a more prominent company logo. But like the other locations the new coffee shop will have both a drive through and a small indoor dining area. The shop will be 1248 square feet and there is no opening date listed as of my writing this.
Another new business rumor has been confirmed. This one surrounds the rumor that Carter's is planning a second area store in Spokane Valley Mall.
We've uncovered building plans that show Carter's coming in a unique fashion. The plans actually show a remodel of a space in the mall into a Carter's / Oshkosh B'gosh co-branded store. Both are similar retailers / clothing brands but Carter's already operates one store in Spokane and Oshkosh B'gosh does not. The other Carter's is a decent sized place in the Northtowne Square shopping center in North Spokane.
The store would be a complete remodel of a few spaces on the ground floor of the mall ( suites 1130-1134 ). This in southeast corner of the center court area of mall, nearby JC Penney and lots of other stores. With the merged suites the store will have a little over 5000 square feet with no mention of how much space would be dedicated to each brand.
Carter's and OshKosh B'gosh are both baby, toddler and childrens clothing companies that we're once competitors until Carter's acquired OshKosh in 2005. Today Carter's has over 650 locations and OshKosh has over 300 including product sales through several other channels.
One Tree Hard Cider to open their new Downtown cider house this Friday!
Originally established in 2014, One Tree Hard Cider has grown by leaps and bounds. Their ciders are sold at many bars , bottle shops and grocery stores all around the region including a small tasting room in Spokane Valley. But, starting this Friday Sept. 8th, that tasting room will transition over to an exciting new storefront in Downtown Spokane. The Valley location will be used for more production space after the move.
The new Downtown Spokane One Tree Cider House will be located in about 1600 square feet of space at 111 S. Madison St. and will be the first cider house in Spokane's Entertainment District. The new Cider House will boast the largest selection of craft ciders in town, as well as a selection of craft beers and wines pouring out of 20 rotating taps.
The space is described as having a comfy-hip feel with couches , tables and booths. A limited food menu will also be offered that includes unique house made pizzas, appetizers and more. Gluten free options will also be made available.
For those eager to check it out, One Tree Cider House will host and official grand opening on Friday Sept. 8th beginning at 2pm - close.
Most of the chain retailers seem to be closing stores left and right, but Spokane's local retail businesses aren't about to back down. One of those local businesses Prairie Dog Pet Mercantile is expanding and recently announced that they are now setting up a second location in the heart of the popular Kendall Yards neighborhood.
Prairie Dog Pet Mercantile is a pet supply retailer that carries premium holistic pet foods and treats. They also carry more general supplies like toys, pet beds, grooming supplies, gifts and more. Their staff even includes Certified Professional Dog Trainers to direct customers on the right path for training and care of their pets.
The store will occupy the 700 +/- square foot space at 1206 W. Summit Pkwy where Monkey Boy Bicycles operated for sometime. Prairie Dog is hoping to open there sometime around the end of September. They also do plan to keep their original location open for business, that store can be found on the South Hill at 5608 S. Regal Suite 100.

HYVPC Home
Boston Data Project
Boston Youth Survey
Violence Courses
News & Research 2009
News & Research Pre-2005
Injury Center
From 2000 through 2005, HYVPC core faculty wrote 3 books and over 70 articles on youth violence prevention. Our four large research projects during this period were:
Research Project 1: Youth Suicide Prevention Research Partnership
HYVPC core staff worked collaboratively with the Northeast Injury Prevention Network (injury control professionals at state health departments in New England, New York and New Jersey) to help each of them develop and implement a community response plan for youth suicide. HYVPC staff: (a) twice provided the Network with a well-received and highly-rated day of training (2001, 2003) on suicide prevention; (b) assembled and summarized their combined data on suicide attempts and completions; (c) developed (with the American Association of Suicidology and Fenton Communications) an eight-page brochure outlining the case for viewing suicide as a preventable public health problem; and (d) with input from the Northeast Network and funds from HRSA, developed internet-based courses to train statewide suicide prevention groups and service providers.
Research Findings: A key finding was that firearm prevalence was highly associated with overall suicide rates, even after controlling for suicide attempts and other relevant variables. The case fatality rate for firearm suicide was over 90%. By comparison, case fatality rates for the most common types of suicide attempts (drugs and cutting) were under 3%.
Research Project 2: Violent Behavior among Urban Girls
We added a qualitative survey focused on girls' perpetration of aggression to the 80-neighborhood Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods.
Research findings: Our research revealed that girls who were previously victims of physical or sexual assault/molestation were significantly more likely to perpetrate violence. And girls who perpetrated violence were more likely to have families where fighting was an accepted response to a variety of situations, and to be exposed to physical fights among family members. Some of the most serious violence ensued from competition and jealousy among girls over their relationships with boys. Girl perpetrators sometimes viewed fighting back as the only way to achieve future safety from bullying or victimization.
Research Project 3: Intervention/Evaluation of Boston Middle School CHOICES Program
HYVPC helped support and evaluate a Boston-based Outward Bound program, involving a week on Thompson Island (in Boston Harbor) and a 9-week in-class curriculum for 6th and 7th graders. The program was designed to reduce interpersonal conflict, violence, and drug use by helping students learn to make positive choices in their school, home, and social lives. The evaluation included the use of control schools, pre-post surveys, focus groups of students, and interviews with teachers and administrators.
Research findings: A surprising number of middle school students have been exposed to severe levels of violence with deleterious effects. Interventions that emphasize asset building (e.g. improved self-efficacy) may offset some of these negative effects. However, while qualitatively the CHOICES program won praise, it was difficult to find quantitative results of significant reductions in violence attributable to this short intervention.
Research Project 4: Preventing Violence through Referral: Evaluation of Boston Programs
This project used formative, process, and impact evaluation techniques to compare two innovative Boston programs for identifying and helping at-risk youth. In these programs, youth are identified by emergency departments and police referrals, and are channeled to appropriate social service agencies. Since many youth come to the attention of medical staff and police department authorities multiple times, success with individual youth has cumulative benefits for individual adolescents, communities, and service providers.
Research findings: Results indicate a decrease in: (a) weapon carrying, (b) aggressive behavior, and (c) violent victimization lasting at least six months after the initial intervention for youth involved in this initiative.

2004 Boston Youth Survey Report Officially Released
HYVPC is pleased to announce the official joint release of the Report of the 2004 Boston Youth Survey with the City of Boston's Office of Human Services. The release of this report represents a major milestone in the long-term collaboration between researchers at the Harvard Youth Violence Prevention Center and city officials from the Office of Human Services and Boston Centers for Youth and Families. For full details about the survey and to download the report, visit the Boston Youth Survey page.
Boston Regional Violence Prevention Skills Building Workshop
The Harvard Youth Violence Prevention Center, Survivors for Violence Prevention, Inc. and Wheelock College are collaborating to present the Boston Regional Violence Prevention Skills Building Workshop, which is a two-day skill building and leadership development workshop. The workshop, titled "Preparing to Lead, Ready to Learn" will take place April 21-22, 2006 at the Brookline Campus of Wheelock College. This workshop is targeted to those who work with survivors of homicide victims, victim services, violence prevention, law enforcement, public health, and youth services. For more information or to register for the Boston Regional Violence Prevention Advancing Skills Workshop, please contact: Cheryl D.

Harvard Youth Violence Prevention Center Funding Renewed
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has renewed the center's funding for a new five-year period, starting in September 2005 and running through 2010. Over the next five years, the center will focus on issues of youth violence within the City of Boston and will continue to collaborate with city agencies on the Boston Youth Survey, a bi-annual survey of high school students. HYVPC will also establish a phone-based survey of adults in Boston's neighborhoods to measure perceptions of collective efficacy. Together, these surveys, as well as other data sources from the city, will allow us to gather data about youth violence in Boston over time.


What is a separation reduction request?
Some uses are required by the Zoning Ordinance to be located a certain district from other types of uses. In some cases, this distance requirement may be reduced through a separation reduction request to the Zoning Board of Appeals.
The separation requirements for different use types are found in the use-specific standards section of Chapter 4 of the Zoning Ordinance.
What is the process for requesting a separation reduction?
Requests to reduce separation requirements go to the Zoning Board of Appeals for consideration. One reason that such requests go before the Zoning Board of Appeals is so people who would be most affected by the approval or denial of a request (such as nearby property owners) may participate in a public hearing and make comments for or against the request before the Board makes a decision on whether to approve it as requested, approve with conditions, or not to approve it.
The fact sheet that is part of the Separation Reduction Application explains the process for applying for a separation reduction.
For further information on requesting a separation reduction, please call Melody Kearse at 803-329-7088.


From St . Augustine to Martin Luther and from George Whitfield to Martin Luther King Jr., preaching the gospel has been the very heart of the Christian church's approach to renewal and engaging society with the claims of God and God's Kingdom.
But things are rapidly changing, not least about communication . Many preachers and Christians wonder: What place does "preaching" have in our imageshaped world? How do we bring the gospel word to people inundated by images? What does Jesus—"the Word made visual"—teach us about the living Word? We considered these questions and more to help paint a picture of what preaching the gospel might look like in a visual society.

kind of like an update
Posted on July 27, 2009 by monaxle
To follow on from this post –
Though Kent Police have not put anything in writing to me they have written to Amateur Photographer Magazine and the British Journal of Photography. Here's a copy of the letter. The text is very guarded carefully considered.
I write in regards to your article concerning the arrest of amateur photographer Alex Turner.
The police have a number of powers that they are able to use in relation to stop and search which have to be assessed according to the type of incident being dealt with. With regard to this specific incident there was a need to establish the identity of the man in question, whose behaviour had caused concern and who, when asked, had refused to provide his details. Once officers had established that no offences had been committed Mr Turner was allowed on his way.
However following a complaint made by Mr Turner, the circumstances of this incident were voluntarily referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission, who agreed that Kent Police's Professional Standards department should investigate.
We are in contact with Mr Turner and will keep him updated as to the findings of the investigation.
However I wish to make absolutely clear that my officers were placed in a situation where I truly believe the vast majority of the public would expect them to find out what the circumstances were, not least when Mr Turner's behaviour had generated suspicion with local council employees and he had refused to reveal his identity.
Police in Medway are here to ensure everyone's safety and on occasions we have to ask members of the public to provide personal details and explain their actions, particularly when we have reports of them acting suspiciously and they refuse to say who they are.
Whilst policing powers always have to be applied professionally and proportionately, police officers and Police Community Support Officers have a responsibility to use their powers to identify who they are talking to and clarify if their behaviour is unlawful or not.
I do note that recorded crime in Medway has fallen again. A lot of the reason for this is we stop and identify people who are reported as acting suspiciously. Sir Robert Peel was doing this when the police service stated in 1829 and it remains a key tactic we still use to ensure Medway becomes an even safer place to live, work and socialise.
Chief Superintendent Steve Corbishley
Area Commander for Medway
The phrase '…not least when Mr Turner's behaviour had generated suspicion with local council employees and he had refused to reveal his identity', indicates to me that Chief Superintendent Steve Corbishley considers that sometimes, depending on what I'm not sure, people taking pictures openly in Chatham High Street merit suspicion.
Furthermore though the council employees were unable or unwilling to say under what authority or legislation they required me to reveal my identity, the response of Chief Superintendent Steve Corbishley indicates to me that he thinks I should have done so regardless.
With an attitude like that the point of a legislative process seems a bit redundant.

Sherlock Holmes eat your liver. The police can now establish if a crime has been committed by obtaining someone's name and address. Yipee! I'm safe.
I wonder if this Chief Superintendent realises that the people who flew the aircraft into the twin towers, the people who bombed the train in Madrid, and the Tube bombers all carried legitimate and genuine identification documents. The excuse that they needed to arrest in order establish the identity of the photographer to find out of an offence had been committed is as stupid as the arrest was unlawful.
Let's tell the truth here. This was nothing more than a pissing contest with the police not wanting a member of the public to get away with saying 'no'.
I would love to see the definition in this case of your suspicious behavior. Anyone can say that a person acted suspicious, but please provide the details… point is, the police chief is just making something up to save his butt
Anyone know where Steve Corbishley lives? I hear he makes for a lovely portrait shot… 😉
Just kidding, that could be harassment, but the thought still tickles me.
The phrase
"not least when Mr Turner's behaviour had generated suspicion with local council employees and he had refused to reveal his identity."
almost leaps off the page
Does this mean that any council employee now has the power to demand of members of the public, in a public space, proof of identity?
Kevin Geraghty-Shewan
I think as citizens we have a right to refuse to identify ourselves when requested to do so by someone who also refuses to identify themselves. I don't think this is a crime.
Technomist
You are not alone in your woes. I have blogged on this topic locally in Walthamstow and eventually we got response from the Metropolitan police which you may find interesting.

When I first saw this statement, I saw it as spin, a distortion of the truth and an attempt to make the reader think that you were acting suspiciously. I still see it as that. The fact is that you were arrested simply for refusing to give your details to people who would not convey to you whether or not they had any right to demand them.
The assertion that "…my officers were placed in a situation where I truly believe the vast majority of the public would expect them to find out what the circumstances were…" is arguably fair enough, but they could have achieved that by simply talking to you, rather than arresting you immediately and parading you in the High Street (before dropping you in Military Road and recording that as the place of arrest – I'm still bemused by that – another convenient distortion, perhaps).
There are two sides to every story, sure. As someone who knows you personally and trusts you implicitly, I take your initial blog to be a thoughtful, well-considered and honest account of events.
I believe that your readership can tell the difference between that and a clumsy (and arguably defamatory) piece of attempted damage limitation from an entity that, at best, is struggling to interpret ill-conceived laws and at worst could be described as patronising, ignorant or complicit. Allegedly.
PS: Crime may well be down in Medway, but if it's directly due to persecuting photographers, I'm a monkey's uncle.
PPS: Here are those Peelian principles one more time, for ease of reference:
# The basic mission for which the police exist is to prevent crime and disorder.
# The ability of the police to perform their duties is dependent upon the public approval of police actions.
# Police must secure the willing co-operation of the public in voluntary observation of the law to be able to secure and maintain the respect of the public.
# The degree of co-operation of the public that can be secured diminishes proportionately to the necessity of the use of physical force.
# Police seek and preserve public favour not by catering to public opinion, but by constantly demonstrating absolute impartial service to the law.
# Police use physical force to the extent necessary to secure observance of the law or to restore order only when the exercise of persuasion, advice, and warning is found to be insufficient.
# Police, at all times, should maintain a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and the public are the police; the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent upon every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence.
# Police should always direct their action strictly towards their functions, and never appear to usurp the powers of the judiciary.
# The test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder, not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with it.
Thanks for sticking with me on this. Just to be clear I was arrested straight after I took the picture of the WPC and the PCSO. When I took the picture I was waiting (under the threat of arrest if I did not wait) whilst the WPC checked out the validity of my assertion that I was not obliged to provide any personal details.
I had asked the council workers, the PCSO and the WPC to tell me what legislation they were using to require me to disclose personal details and none of them were able to or willing to cite any.
Maybe there is a law that did require me to disclose my personal details. As yet no one has pointed one out to me.

The council workers, police, and support person all need sacking, pronto.
Officious, ignorant (in the proper sense of the word), power-abusing people need to be ousted.
It's dangerous for those people to have any form of social power.
Especially when they refuse to back down when found to be abusing that power, misrepresenting their power, and then lying about doing so.

Holding up the behaviour of the individual who's been harassed is the oldest trick in the police book. Recall the various misinformation bandied around by the police after the Stockwell shooting; the 'suspect' was wearing a bulky jacket on a hot day, he was running, his mugshot matched that of failed tube bomber, etc etc. None was true, but the public perception of the facts was suitably altered that "no smoke without fire" kicked in.
Nothing surprises me any longer as to what constitutes "suspicious behaviour" since Canary Wharf security accosted me with the line "you've been seen taking photographs", delivered as an accusation demanding a defence, rather than a statement of pretty obvious fact.
Kent police's history of truth bending goes way back; some might recall their astonishing burglary clear up rate from 20 years ago, later exposed as simply adding a large number of unsolved crimes to the rap sheet of any actual burglar caught, regardless of fact. One local burglar taken to court pleaded guilty to 3 counts and asked for another 173 to be taken into consideration over the previous 12 months. This from a serious glue sniffer who could rarely string together coherent sentence.
If the police want respect from the public, they might be better to get on with their actual job, as described so well in Phil Dillons comment, rather than simply picking on easy (and incorrect) targets and making so much effort to justify their behaviour.
Alex mentions that maybe there is a law that requires you to provide your name and address: there is. The Police Reform Act 2002 section 50 gives a constable power to arrest any person who refuses to provide his name and address if said constable has reasonable grounds to suspect that person has been acting in an anti-social manner. However, this ability to undermine the protection afforded by PACE s3 (3), is severely restricted. The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 defines 'anti-social behaviour' as that which causes harassment alarm or distress to one or more persons not of the same address. We have been given a boost by Mr Justice Bean, sitting in the High Court in the case of R v Fareham Magistrates Court, ex parte Gosport Borough Council 2006. It was held that a person cannot act in an anti-social manner in the absence of a potential victim. An interesting point in all these cases, Alex Turner, Steve Carroll, and me, is that there are never any prosecutions.
Marcos Scriven
This kind of thing makes my blood boil. Too often police officers, or people with some kind of capacity in security, just want to assert their *own* authority.
If one is not immediately subservient to their every request, they will take it as a personal affront, rather than a principled choice in an attempt to preserve liberty. They then go about wasting your time and attempting to degrade and humiliate you as much as they possibly can get away with.
The final straw for me is this kind of official response, again bringing into question your behaviour. That's a downright lie in my opinion, and you'd be well within your rights to sue for that letter.
I hope the politicians finally do something about this mess.


Keywords: Bitcoin, finance terrorist activity, money laundering, digital currencies, recover proceeds of crime, anti-money laundering regime, fiat currency.
As global reliance on technology and connectivity increases, Bitcoin and other digital currencies are growing in popularity. Due to their semi-anonymous nature and the obvious advantages of not being fixed to geographical locations, there is potential for digital currencies to be used for criminal purposes, including money laundering and terrorism funding.
In March 2015, the Senate Economics References Committee conducted an inquiry into digital currency. The purpose of the inquiry was to explore how to regulate digital currencies in a way that supports innovation while monitoring associated risks. In this article, we outline the views expressed in the inquiry and the committee's recommendation.
Bitcoin is a digital currency based on a decentralised peer-to-peer network. Transactions take effect between users directly, without a trusted third party intermediary. Instead trust is established through a protocol called the "blockchain".
The blockchain is a distributed public online ledger that records and publishes all Bitcoin transactions. The blockchain can only be altered by consensus of the network of peers. Users have to agree on the authenticity of transactions. This provides for cheaper transaction costs, greater security and independence from central banking institutions.
Because a Bitcoin account does not require a name to be attached to it, users can remain partly anonymous. This anonymity makes it difficult for law enforcement to recover proceeds of crime. Bitcoin can be converted to and from real currency, and has been used to purchase and supply illicit drugs, finance terrorist activity and launder money.
Does Bitcoin come under the current AML framework?
Bitcoin is not covered by Australia's anti-money laundering regime, the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Cth) (AML/CTF Act).
The AML/CTF Act only covers e-currency that is backed by bullion or fiat currency – Bitcoin is backed by mathematical formulas. Consequently, digital currency businesses are not obliged to meet the requirements under the AML/CTF Act.
Digital currency businesses are concerned about the banking industry's approach to digital currencies. Banks exaggerate the risks and overlook the avenues of innovation. Because digital currencies are not regulated by the AML/CTF Act a number of banks have refused to serve businesses that trade or transact in Bitcoin.
Westpac contends that digital currency businesses should implement the same level of due diligence required of banks or foreign exchange brokers. Westpac supports bringing digital currency businesses under the AML/CTF Act.
This will ensure banks can be confident that they have taken all necessary steps under the legislation to understand the nature of the transactions they are dealing with.
Under the current AML/CTF Act, businesses are required to obtain information about their customer's identity and financial activities. These 'know your customer' requirements help businesses identify and limit criminal activity.
Westpac believes that bringing digital currencies under the AML/CTF Act in regards to the 'know your customer' requirements would help banks detect suspicious activity in the process of exchanging Bitcoin to real currency.
The unclear regulatory status of digital currency under the AML/CTF Act means that digital currency businesses do not have access to the Document Verification Service (DVS). The DVS is a secure, electronic system used to verify and identity documents. It is managed by the Attorney-General's Department.
The Attorney-General's Department raised the question of whether the definition of digital currency exchanges should be limited to businesses that trade in digital currency or include businesses that facilitate peer-to-peer exchanges.
Regulation of direct peer-to-peer exchanges poses a distinct challenge. In comparison to exchanges that intersect with banks or digital currency businesses, these types of exchanges lack visibility.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade raised concerns about excessively regulating small-value digital currency transactions, made by those in poverty, which could lead people to use black-market providers.
Digital currency businesses support regulatory reform and are proponents for ensuring the security and legitimacy of digital currencies.
The committee supports applying the AML/CTF Act to digital currency exchanges. Given the support from an array of stakeholders and the committee's recommendation, it is likely Bitcoin will eventually be regulated by the anti-money laundering regime.


When it comes to the Inter of Things (IoT) or Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) very little time passes between having the first idea, an operating model and having even a first product line on the shelf. This is why we as part of the transfer center hardware for CPS will provide a modular development platform, consisting of hard- and software components.
The technological basis of these modules is SMD Embedding. These modules can be either plugged together, soldered in a highly reliant matter, glued or sintered, while obtaining a uniform hard- and software interface. The integration of various basic sensors, controllers and wireless interfaces enable the functional variety of this system. Next to basic sensors, this system will also include a 24-GHz-radar sensor. This sensor can easily be added on top of any device. Consequently, there are numerous use-cases. For example, connecting devices in Smart Homes and Cities, or the food industry.
It is possible to integrate further sensor elements to detect mechanical tension, vibration, carbon monoxide and glucose. Due to Wafer-Level-technology, production cost are particularly low. As an intermediate step to ensuring system development, a test board will be set up, that verifies the functionality of each developed sensor element.
Not only hardware, but also the programming interface of the development environment will be developed and implemented, as well as a reconfigurable firmware will be developed and tested.
After finishing this project, there will be access to hard- and software in a variety of module kits, that can quickly be reconfigured, depending on the application or measurement requirements. This way a fast and non-expensive access for industry customers to test and validate radio sensor-based solutions is just one-step away.

Latin America's Avant-Garde
Tools for Utopia: Selected works from the Daros Latinamerica Collection is an exhibition of works from the 1950s to the late 1970s by artists from Brazil, Venezuela, Uruguay, and Argentina: Gego, Hélio Oiticica, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Jesús Rafael Soto, Mira Schendel, Liliana Porter, Julio Le Parc, and Ana Mendieta. Created when many Latin American coun-tries were in conflict and ruled by dictators, these works— Concrete, Neo-Concrete, Conceptual—were means of transgression. They were not only created as reactions but as artistic counter-proposals to totalitarian systems: signs of genuine engagement and experiments that included in-gredients of social and political utopia. The exhibition and the accompanying publication are conceived as "tools," re-ferring to the efforts of the artists to transcend representa-tion and become active agents for societal transformation. By displaying historical alongside contemporary work, and by presenting historical manifestos alongside recent con-versations with the artists, the project examines the ways in which the urge to "actively inhabit the present" is contin-ued, further complicated, and questioned by artists of the following generations. Tools for Utopia asks to what extent such Latin American art movements acted as catalysts for the cultural, social, and political imagination. What do these ideas and hopes stand for today? The exhibition and cata-logue expound bold visions of art, politics, and subjectivity that are particularly relevant for today's tensions in Latin America and beyond.

Connect the GREEN wire to the RPM terminal of the controller.
Connect the RED, YELLOW and PINK wires to the 12V terminal of the controller.
This is the simplest way to connect the gauge but there is one small problem: the backlight of the tachometer will stay ON all the time, even when not racing. the only way to switch the backlight OFF is disconnecting the power supply from the Pro-Gauge or Rev-Burner controllers.
For a cleaner installation we suggest to use the Pro-Gauge controller and the Relay Module. This way the backlight of the tachometer will be automatically switched ON and OFF when SimDash is started and stopped. The gauge will also display the opening and closing ceremonies when it starts and stops.
Connecting the gauge to the Pro-Gauge and relay module is simple and it is shown in the picture below. The color of the wires in the picture is the same as the color of the tachometer's wires.

Prostate Cancer Awareness Month: Empowering patients
During September, the Military Health System is encouraging men to learn more about prostate cancer. Patients can discuss with their providers the risks and benefits of a prostate-specific antigen blood test, also known as a PSA test. (U.S. Navy photo by Jacob Sippel)
9/28/2018 By: Military Health System Communications Office
Preventive Health | Men's Health
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among males, second only to skin cancer, and affects more than 3 million men in the United States, according to the National Cancer Institute. During Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, health care providers are encouraging men of all ages – especially those with a family history – to learn more about the disease.
"Prostate cancer can impact all men," said Army Col. Inger Rosner, director of the Department of Defense Center for Prostate Disease Research at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. "It's important for men to know if they want to be screened, how and when to be screened, and what their treatment options are if diagnosed, so that they can be equipped to make decisions that are best for their health."
The National Institutes of Health estimates that nearly 165,000 men in the U.S. will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2018. Although the disease is the second leading cause of cancer death among men in the U.S., it's a very slow-growing disease, NIH says. Nearly all of those who get prostate cancer – more than 98 percent – are alive five years after diagnosis.
Symptoms can include weak or interrupted flow of urine, sudden urge to urinate, frequent urination, pain or burning while urinating, trouble starting the flow of urine, and trouble emptying the bladder completely. Pain in the back, hips, or pelvis, as well as blood in the urine or semen, can also be indicators.
Rosner said prostate cancer is common in older men but can still affect younger men, particularly if they have a male relative with a history of the disease. Age is the most common risk factor, but other important risk factors include race, genetic factors, and family history. Men who have a relative with prostate cancer are twice as likely to develop the disease as those with no family history, Rosner noted.
"If you have a positive family history, that puts you at a potentially higher risk for having prostate cancer, and you should bring that potential risk up with your primary care doctor," she said, adding that patients can then decide with their providers whether or not to be screened for prostate cancer.
Patients can be screened with a prostate-specific antigen blood test, also known as a PSA test. The test measures the level of PSA in the blood; an increased amount may indicate prostate cancer. But increased PSA levels alone do not diagnose the disease, which is confirmed through a biopsy.
The American Urology Association encourages men age 55 to 69 to undergo a PSA test every year. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force considers the decision to undergo periodic PSA screening to be an individual choice for men of that age group, stating that they should have the opportunity to discuss its potential benefits and drawbacks with a clinician. The task force said PSA screening offers a potential benefit of reducing the chance of death from the disease in some men, but also carries potential risks, such as false-positive results, over-diagnosis, and overtreatment.
"The important thing with prostate cancer is educating patients about their disease and their options, and tailoring treatment very specifically to that individual," said Rosner. "We want to educate and empower people about their disease and help them make the best choices for themselves in terms of treatment or active surveillance."
A majority of prostate cancer is treatable, explained Rosner. Since the disease advances slowly, not all cases require treatment, which can alter quality of life, she said. Men undergoing treatment can experience side effects, such as fatigue, pain, vomiting, or nausea as well as urinary, bowel, or erectile dysfunction.
Patients with low-risk prostate cancer can discuss alternative options with their physician, such as monitoring the cancer – known as active surveillance. Treatment options can include radiation therapy, surgery, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy, among others. All treatment regimens must be balanced against quality-of-life concerns, considering the potential side effects of each treatment, the aggressiveness of the cancer, and the overall life expectancy of the patient, said Rosner.
"It's a very treatable disease, but the treatments can have a significant impact on quality of life," she said. "For some low-risk or low-grade tumors, we tend to favor active surveillance, which is monitoring the disease but not necessarily treating it, because you can live with prostate cancer and not die from your prostate cancer."
"While there's no definitive way to prevent prostate cancer, men can help decrease their risk by being physically active, maintaining a healthy weight, and eating a nutritious diet," said Rosner.
In addition to conducting research and clinical trials, the Uniformed Services University's Center for Prostate Disease Research sees men for all prostate-related issues, including detection and treatment of prostate cancer. Open to active-duty servicemen and retirees, CPDR offers a weekly multidisciplinary clinic for newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients. For coverage details on prostate cancer screening, visit the TRICARE website.
"Men's health really comes down to having an open and honest conversation with your physicians or providers," said Rosner. "The more that we educate and empower our patients, the better off their decision-making will be."

Why the Buffalo Bills' Quiet Offseason Approach Has Been Effective
April 15, 2010 · Greg Haefner · Jump to comments
While the rest of the AFC East seems to be in a high-profile transaction frenzy this offseason, the Buffalo Bills have been taking an approach much different from that of their division rivals.
The Miami Dolphins shelled out a combined $93 million for free agent linebacker Karlos Dansby and former Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall , plus two second-round picks to acquire the latter.
The Jets signed future Hall of Fame running back LaDanian Tomlinson , while acquiring former All-Pro cornerback Antonio Cromartie from the Chargers and Super Bowl XLIII MVP wide receiver Santonio Holmes from the Steelers.
The Patriots have been relatively quiet, but with four picks in the first two rounds of the upcoming draft, that was to be expected.
The Bills, like the Jets and Dolphins, have been making moves. Unlike the moves made by their division foes, however, the moves made by Buffalo have been far from high-profile.
Just because their signings are under the radar, though, ...

Mattel wanted a store where "Barbie is hero"; expressing Barbie as a global lifestyle brand by building on the brand's historical link to fashion. Barbie Shanghai is the first fully realized expression of this broader vision.
Barbie is an iconic brand known throughout the world. Mattel wanted to simultaneously re-focus the brand on its fashion heritage and define a global lifestyle brand.
Mattel saw architecture and design as the most powerful, cost effective and meaningful way to achieve these goals and cohesively present varied Barbie branded lifestyle products from around the world; from couture dresses and cosmetics for women to shoes and toys for toddlers.
Creating both a retail opportunity as a well as a Brand-building position, Barbie Shanghai brings to life, in a physical space, the connection between the Brand's historical roots in fashion and Barbie's unique ability to inspire girls to dream, discover and explore a world without limits.
Created around the understanding that every little girl has her own personal relationship with Barbie, the store brings that emotional connection to life through a range of experiences and special services celebrating aspiration, dreams, fashion and beauty. Barbie Shanghai houses the world's largest and most comprehensive collection of Barbie dolls and lifestyle products including fashions, cosmetics, accessories and publishing.
Barbie Shanghai features a variety of activities that allow girls to express creativity in a way that celebrates girls' individuality while connecting back to the Brand's core values. Ranging from a Design Center where girls learn to be doll designers creating their own custom doll and design portfolio, to a Fashion Stage where girls create and show off their own outfits "pulled" from the ultimate Barbie closet, the essence of Barbie style is brought to new levels in ways girls can make their own.
Celebrating the Brand's global appeal is the Dolls of the World library where girls can see dolls representing cultures from around the world, read books that bring those cultures to life.
A sophisticated pink and black restaurant created at the direction of renowned chef and chocolatier David Laris features a full menu designed for divas of all ages.
Slade Architecture led the design including the exterior, interior, fixtures, and furnishings. Slade's design is a sleek, fun, unapologetically feminine interpretation of Barbie: past, present, and future.
Working with an existing structure, Slade Architecture created a new façade that combines references to product packaging, decorative arts, fashion and architectural iconography to create a modern identity for the store, expressing Barbie's cutting-edge fashion sense and history.
The façade is made of two layers: molded, translucent polycarbonate interior panels and flat exterior glass panels printed with a whimsical lattice frit pattern. Slade collaborated with designers at BIG, who created the final exterior frit graphics. The two layers reinforce each other visually and interact dynamically through reflection, shadow and distortion.
Visitors are enveloped by curvaceous, pearlescent surfaces of the lobby, leading to a pink escalator tube that takes them from the bustle of the street, to the double-height main floor.
The central feature is a three-story spiral staircase enclosed by eight hundred Barbie dolls. The staircase and the dolls are the core of the store; everything literally revolves around Barbie.
The women's floor (women's fashion, couture, cosmetics and accessories).
The doll floor (dolls, designer doll gallery, doll accessories, books). The Barbie Design Center, where girls design their own Barbie is on this floor. This activity was planned by Chute Gerdeman Retail and designed by Slade Architecture.
The girls floor (girls fashion, shoes and accessories). The Barbie Fashion Stage, planned and designed by Chute Gerdeman Retail, where girls take part in a real runway show, is also on this floor.
The Barbie Café, also designed by Slade Architecture, is on the top floor.
Throughout the retail areas, Slade played with the scale differences between dolls, girls and women. They reinforced the feeling of youth and the possibilities of an unapologetically girlish outlook (regardless of age) by mixing reality and fantasy and keeping play and fun at the forefront – to create a space where optimism and possibility reign supreme as expressions of core Barbie attributes.
The design and construction of the store took approximately two years from start to finish. The local architect was AD Incorporated, China.
