Why have I been forced to have yet another layer of Government? An additional layer of control I don't want and don't need. I'm told I must vote on who is to be the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority Mayor. Eh?
I already have two Mayors. Now I am to have three? No doubt all on a magnificent salary and with a lot of highly paid hangers on, all draining money away from being used to better the local community.
As I said, we already had a Mayor. You know, the local councillor who wears the ceremonial chain and turns up to open fetes and charity events. This type of Mayor is usually swapped every 12 months and does a lot of good locally.
We never got asked if we wanted a second Mayor. One was forced on us by the ruling Labour group. Labour loves imposing government on people. We were suddenly just told we would have one and given 'candidates' to select from. Why they couldn't have included the option "I don't want another fecking Mayor" on the ballot paper, I know not. So, we ended up with a second and apparently more important Mayor, a Mayor who earns more than the Prime Minister, a 'Liverpool Mayor' (I thought the guy/girl with the chains was the 'Liverpool Mayor', but apparently not).
So, now it seems two Mayors is not enough. A much larger area known as the 'Liverpool City Region Combined Authority' is to get a Mayor. Another Mayor. A third Mayor. Obviously paid more than the second Mayor because he/she will be more important.
So, to explain how the governmental power and overlording of my city works. The ultimate overlords are the European Union. Under the European Union comes the British Government. Under the British Government comes the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority Mayor. Under the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority Mayor comes the Liverpool Mayor. Under the Liverpool Mayor comes the, well, Liverpool Mayor, that one with the chains.
We never got to vote on whether or not we actually wanted the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority Mayor either. But in May we have to vote for him (it won't be a 'her', this is a man thing).
How can all these levels of Government be necessary? I ask that as a libertarian who believes that ordinary people want far less interference in their lives and more money spent on their community. And definitely less money spent on politicians and their entourage.
But, here we go. Liverpool. The city with three Mayors!

Silicosis – is this the new asbestosis?
Grant Nicholson Partner
Olivia Welsh Senior Associate
Hannah Meikle Solicitor
Relatively little is known about the problem of silicosis in New Zealand, but data from around the world suggests construction workers, and workers in the stone bench top industry may be at risk from this disease. What is it, and how can you take steps to protect your workers from it?
What is silicosis?
Silicosis is a progressive and permanent lung disease. It is caused by the inhalation of respirable crystalline silica (RCS). RCS is composed of tiny dust particles which are created when material containing silica is disturbed through activities such as cutting, grinding, drilling, and sanding. Numerous materials contain silica including stone, rock, concrete, brick, mortar, and plaster.
People who work in the stone bench top industry are particularly at risk. Stone worktops have become an increasingly popular interior design choice for bathrooms and kitchens, but the silica content of engineered stone is very high at approximately 90% (compared to natural stones at around 2%). Worktops are completely harmless once completed, but the process of creating them can produce RCS. Inhalation of just a small amount of RCS can be enough to cause damage, and can lead to silicosis or lung cancer.
The damage silicosis causes is irreversible. There is no cure, and the only treatment for the disease in its advanced form is a lung transplant. Troublingly, the disease is often symptomless in the early stages.
Concern is rapidly growing internationally about the risks of exposure to RCS and the long term health effects associated with it:
By February 2019, there were 99 confirmed cases of silicosis associated with engineered stone bench top work in Queensland.
Australian law firm Slater and Gordon is preparing a national class action lawsuit against the major manufacturers of engineered stone bench top products.
Safe Work Australia has published a 32-page guide designed to help duty holders understand the risks posed by exposure to RCS and silica dust in the workplace and how best to manage and protect the health and safety of workers.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) estimates that approximately 500 to 1000 people in the United Kingdom die annually from exposure to RCS, and a cancer burden study by the HSE found that exposure to silica was second only to asbestos as a cause of occupational lung cancer deaths.
A parliamentary enquiry has been launched to investigate and better understand the impact that silicosis is having on the health of construction workers in the United Kingdom. One of the aims of this enquiry is to assess the financial burden that silicosis is placing on the National Health Service when treating those affected by the disease.
What does this mean for New Zealand?
No one knows how common silicosis is in New Zealand. Doctors suggest this is caused by a general lack of awareness and not knowing to look out for the disease, rather than it not being an issue in this country. On the contrary, estimates by some doctors suggest that over 1000 New Zealanders could be affected.
In July and August this year WorkSafe New Zealand issued a safety alert and then additional guidance material to raise awareness about the serious health and safety risks posed by exposure to silica and how these should best be managed at work. Key recommendations include:
Use natural stone rather than engineered or artificial stone where possible.
Use equipment and machinery with good dust control and dust collection systems.
Reduce exposure by scheduling high-risk work for times when there are fewer workers around.
Provide workers with suitable personal protective equipment (PPE) and ensure it is used and stored correctly.
Ensure workers leave any dust covered PPE at work for cleaning in a safe manner, and do not take them home.
Ensure workers wash their hands after working in dusty environments.
Businesses involved in any work with silica products should complete a risk assessment before starting work that may create an exposure to RCS. Uncontrolled dry cutting, grinding, or polishing of engineered stone should be entirely eliminated and safer alternatives used instead. Workplace exposure and health monitoring should also be considered and implemented to properly understand the risk of ongoing exposure in work activities.
If you work with silica or have any concerns about how to manage these types of risks in your business, our health and safety lawyer, Grant Nicholson and his team will be happy to help.

The church knows the importance of ritual at the time of death.
Tending lovingly to the body of a beloved after she has passed, preparing for the service that marks death and resurrection hope, standing at the final resting place and, in community, sharing words of our liturgy: "Almighty God, into your hands we commend your daughter, in sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord," are integral to the process of grief and healing in our lives when we lose a loved one.
That's why we recoil at the news of a death where there is no body to tend. Recall the images of grieving families when Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 was lost in 2014. The pain of loss was multiplied by the absence of the bodies of the 239 on board as death became more certain.
The border between the United States and Mexico is a place where bodies are often lost. Each year hundreds of migrants fleeing violence, economic despair, gang activity and the like perish as they seek to find a better life in the United States.
It hasn't always been so. Between 1990 and 2000, there were an average of 12 migrant deaths per year in southern Arizona. Between 2000 and 2014, however, the average number of desert deaths increased to 170 per year.
Why? The increased militarization of the border during the Clinton presidency and beyond sought to wall off the primary pathways of migration, assuming that persons would not seek to cross the border through the harshest places of the desertlands. Clearly the government expectations were wrong. The safer and more accessible pathways were shut down, but the root causes of migration, the push and pull of economics and violence, were not addressed. So the people continue to come, risking their lives for the hope and promise of security and economic stability.
The Border Patrol has recorded more than 6,330 assumed migrant deaths along the border between 1998 and 2014. But does anyone care? In all of the talk around immigration and the border in the current election cycle, have we once heard a candidate talk about the number of persons who perish each year on our border? Most persons simply do not know about the spike in deaths in the desert since the increased militarization of the border.
The Colibrí Center for Human Rights is a family advocacy nonprofit based in Tucson, Arizona. The staff of Colibrí works with families, forensic scientists and humanitarians to end migrant death and related suffering on the United States-Mexico border. Primarily, Colibrí works with families to create forensically detailed missing persons reports, specializing in often-overlooked details like tattoos, prayer cards, belt buckles or other unique belongings. This information is then used to compare reports from forensic scientists and medical examiners to identify the dead.
Colibrí has developed the first comprehensive system to track and compare missing and unidentified persons on the border. This data helps identify more of the remains found in the desert so families might be given the dignity of caring for their beloved dead in ways that honor their traditions and faith.
This year I have been engaged in a pastoral study project funded by The Louisville Institute and the Lilly Endowment studying materials related to what is known as "compassion fatigue" or "vicarious trauma." My focus has been on the well-being of the team at Colibrí. Working with families whose loved ones are missing, comparing information on missing persons with reports describing recovered human remains from the desert, searching for matches, advocating for change in immigration law and practice and maintaining a heart of compassion takes a toll on those who give of themselves to this sacred work.
My project has given me the opportunity to come to know this staff team and, in some small way, provide a place to process how to survive emotionally and spiritually this hard work. I recently returned from a week with the team, sharing conversations, shadowing their work and leading a retreat on the perils and prevention strategies around compassion fatigue.
Does anyone care that so many persons die on our border each year? Yes, some do. And if we are honest, so should we. We are the people of Jesus, the one who migrated from heaven to earth. And when he died the women tenderly cared for his body, participating in sacred rituals as he was placed in the tomb.
The work of the Colibrí Center for Human Rights gives witness to the voices of the dead and their beloved. Thanks to their work, those who die at the border of the United States are not forgotten. We now hear their cries, even as God surely does. And we recognize the sacredness and scandal that is found in the desertlands.
How can we not care now that we know?
Check out the work of Colibrí by visiting their website at www.colibricenter.org. Support their work. Pray for them and for all the dead who have perished in the desert, our desert, that we will learn from them a better way.

EPITAPHS ON MEN.

An old American epitaph:

    Under this sod, and under these trees,
    Lieth the body of Samuel Pease;
    He is not in this hole, but only his pod,
    He shelled out his soul and went up to God.

       *       *       *       *       *

Another version:

    Under this sod, beneath these trees,
    Lyeth the pod of Solomon Pease.
    Pease is not here, but only his pod,
    He shelled out his soul, which went straight to his God.

       *       *       *       *       *

    Here lies the body of Johnny Haskell
    A lying, thieving, cheating rascal;
    He always lied, and now he lies,
    He has no soul and cannot rise.

       *       *       *       *       *

An Irishman wrote the following oft-quoted lines for his epitaph:

    Here I lays,
    Paddy O'Blase;
    My body quite at its aise is,
    With the tip of my nose
    And the points of my toes
    Turned up to the roots of the daisies.

       *       *       *       *       *

In Ballyporen (Ire.) churchyard, on Teague O'Brian, written by himself:

    Here I at length repose,
    My spirit now at aise is;
    With the tips of my toes
    And the point of my nose
    Turned up to the roots of the daisies.

       *       *       *       *       *

    Here lies Richard Fothergill who met a violent death. He was
    shot by a colt's revolver, old kind, brass mounted, and of such is
    the kingdom of heaven.

       *       *       *       *       *

A Cornwall churchyard is enriched with the following dainty verses:

    Here lies entombed one Roger Morton,
    Whose sudden death was early brought on;
    Trying one day his corn to mow off,
    The razor slipped and cut his toe off.

    The toe, or rather what it grew to,
    An inflammation quickly flew to;
    The parts they took to mortifying,
    And poor dear Roger took to dying.

       *       *       *       *       *

    The death angel struck Alexander McGlue
    And gave him protracted repose;
    He wore a checked shirt and a No. 9 shoe
    And had a pink wart on his nose.

    No doubt he is happy a-dwelling in space
    Over on the evergreen shore.
    His friends are informed that his funeral takes place
    At precisely a quarter past four.

       *       *       *       *       *

At Brightwell, Oron. On S. Rumbold, born February, 1582:

    He lived one hundred and five,
    Sanguine and strong;
    A hundred to five,
    You live not so long.
    Dy'd March 4, 1687.

       *       *       *       *       *

    This is all that remains of poor Ben Hough
    He had forty-nine years and that was enough.
    Of worldly goods he had his share,
    And now he's gone to the Devil's snare.

       *       *       *       *       *

In an old cemetery in Lyme, Conn.:

    Close behind this stone
    Here lies alone
    Captain Reynolds Marvin,
    Expecting his wife
    When ends her life,
    And we both are freed from sarvin'.

       *       *       *       *       *

    Here lies the body of Captain Gervase Scrope, of the family of
    the Scropes of Bilton, in the county of York, who departed this life
    26th August, Anno Domini 1705, aged 66.

    An epitaph written by himself, in the agony and doloroes paines
    of the gout, and died soon after.

    Here lies an old toss'd tennis ball.
    Was racketted from spring to fall.
    With so much heat and so much frost,
    Time's arms for shame grew ty'rd at last.
    Four kings in camps he truly served,
    And from his loyalty ne'er swerved.
    Father ruin'd, the son slighted,
    And from the Crown ne'er requited.
    Loss of Estate, Relations, Blood,
    Was too well known, but did no good.
    With long campaigns and paines o' th' Gout,
    He could no longer hold it out.
    Always a restless life he led,
    Never at quiet till quite dead.
    He married in his latter days
    One who exceeds the common praise;
    But wanting health still to make known
    Her true affection and his own,
    Death kindly came, all wants supply'd,
    By giving Rest which life deny'd.

       *       *       *       *       *

From a tombstone near Williamsport, Penn.:

                        Sacred to the Memory of
                             HENRY HARRIS,
                 Born June 27th, 1821, of Henry Harris
                           And Jane his Wife.
   Died on the 4th of May, 1837, by the kick of a colt in his bowels.

    Peaceable and quiet, a friend to his father and mother, and
    respected by all who knew him, and went to the world where horses
    don't kick, where sorrow and weeping is no more.

       *       *       *       *       *

    YATTENDON BERKS. 1770.

    O Death, thy call was soon,
      My pains were smart,
    But I, prepared,
      Was ready to depart
    In hopes to Heaven, there to sit
      With Saints and Angels bright,
    Singing Hallelujahs
      In which I took delight.

       *       *       *       *       *

    Tread softly mortals o'er the bones
    Of this world's wonder, Captain Jones,
    Who told his glorious deeds to many
    Yet never was believed by any.
    Posterity let this suffice
    He swore all's true, yet here he lies.

       *       *       *       *       *

    Here lies the body of John Bidwell,
    Who, when in life, wished his neighbors no evil.
      In hopes up to jump
      When he hears the last trump
    And triumph over Death and the Devil.

       *       *       *       *       *

    Here lies David Garrick, describe me who can,
    An abridgement of all that was pleasant in man.

                                                          --_Goldsmith._

       *       *       *       *       *

    Beneath this stone of granite hard
    Lies my own beloved pard.

       *       *       *       *       *

    ON A MR. PECK

    Here lies a Peck, which some men say
    Was first of all a Peck of clay;
    This wrought with skill divine, while fresh,
    Became a curious Peck of flesh.
    Through various forms its Maker ran,
    Then adding breath made Peck a man;
    Full fifty years Peck felt life's troubles
    Till death relieved a Peck of troubles;
    Then fell poor Peck, as all things must.
    And here he lies,--a Peck of dust.

       *       *       *       *       *

    Here lies John Hill, a man of skill,
      His age was five times ten,
    He ne'er did good, nor ever would,
      Had he lived as long again

       *       *       *       *       *

    Here lies the body of John Smith. Had he lived till he got
    ashore, he would have been buried here.

       *       *       *       *       *

    Here lies Dr. Trollope,
    Who made these stones roll up;
    He took a dose of jalop,
    And God took his soul up.

       *       *       *       *       *

    John Macpherson
    Was a remarkable person;
      He stood six feet two
      Without his shoe,
      And he was slew
      At Waterloo.

       *       *       *       *       *

    Here lies John Auricular,
    Who in the ways of the Lord walked perpendicular.

       *       *       *       *       *

    Don't weep for me, my wife most dear,
      But still remember I lie here,
    Altho' cut down when little past my bloom,
      Shed not one tear upon my tomb.

       *       *       *       *       *

From Harrow Churchyard :

    In memory of Mr. John Port, son of Mr. Thomas Port, of
    Burton-on-Trent, who, not far from this town, had both his legs
    severed from his body by the Railway Train. With greatest fortitude
    he bore a second amputation by the surgeons, and died from loss of
    blood.

    Bright rose the morn, and vigorous rose poor Port,
    Gay on the train he used his wonted sport.
    When noon arrived, a mangled form they bore,
    With pain distorted and o'erwhelmed with gore.
    When evening came to close the fatal day,
    A mutilated corpse the sufferer lay.

       *       *       *       *       *

A miser:

    Here lies one who for medicine would not give
      A little gold, and so his life he lost:
    I fancy now he'd wish again to live
      Could he but guess how much his funeral cost.

       *       *       *       *       *

    Here lies the body of Jonathan Near
    Whose mouth it stretched from ear to ear.
    Tread softly, stranger, o'er this wonder,
    For if he yawns, you're gone, by thunder!

       *       *       *       *       *

Truro, Nova Scotia:

    Don't weep for me, Eliza dear,
    I am not dead, but sleeping here.
    As I am now so you must be,
    Prepare for death and follow me.

    OLIVER P. DONNALLY.

    A son that has been ever kind
    Has gone and left us all behind;
    Cease to weep, my Mother dear,
    For I am wrapped up and lying here.
    Dear Oliver has gone to rest
    In Heaven above with Angels blest;
    A place is vacant at our hearts.
    Which never can be filled.

    But know, thou Tyrant! when the Trump shall call,
    He'll find his Feet, and stand when thou shalt fall.

Lord Brougham (for an orator):

    Here, reader, turn your weeping eyes,
      My fate a useful moral teaches;
    The hole in which my body lies
      Would not contain one half my speeches.

In Thetford Churchyard, Norfolk:

    My grandfather was buried here,
    My cousin Jane and two uncles dear;
    My father perished with an inflammation in his thighs
    And my sister dropped down dead in the Minories;
    But the reason why I'm here interr'd, according to my thinking,
    Is owing to my good living and hard drinking.
    If, therefore, good Christians, you wish to live long,
    Don't drink too much wine, brandy, gin, or anything strong.

Hackett to the author of Dr. Mead's epitaph:

An epitaph from an Irish graveyard:

    Here lies the body of Lady O'Looney,
      Grand-niece to Edmund Burke,

    She painted in water-colors.
                Also,
    She sent several articles to the Exhibition.

tombstone at the burying-grounds near Hoosick Falls, New York. It reads:

    Ruth Sprague, Daughter of Gibson and Elizabeth Sprague. Died
    June 11, 1846, aged 9 years, 4 months, and 3 days.

    Dr. P. M. Armstrong's office, in Hoosick, N. Y., from which place
    her mutilated remains were obtained and deposited here.

    Her soul, we trust, has risen to God,
      Where few physicians rise.

    Her body in the water lay,

    The means was used without delay
      To call her back, but all in vain.
    Her life to God she did resign,
      And angels bore her soul away.
    The grave her body now confines
      Shall rise triumphant the last day.

On an old woman who kept a pottery-shop in Chester, England:

    Beneath these stones lies old Kathering Gray,
    Changed from a busy life to lifeless clay;
    By earth and clay she got her pelf,
    But now is turned to earth herself.
    Ye weeping friends, let me advise,
    Abate your grief and dry your eyes,
    For what avails a flood of tears?

                     Humane, generous, and liberal,
                         his hand never stopped
                     till he had relieved distress.
               So nicely regulated were all his Motions,
                       that he never went wrong,
                        except when set a-going
                               by people
                       who did not know his Key:
                        Even then he was easily
                            set right again.
             He had the art of disposing his time so well,
                     that his Hours kept running on
                   in a continual round of pleasure,
                  till an unlucky Minute put a stop to
                             his existence.
                         He departed this life
                    in hopes of being taken in hand
                             by his Maker;
               and of being thoroughly Cleaned, Repaired,
                       Wound up, and Set a-going
                         in the world to come.

    My sledge and anvil lie declined,
    My bellows too have lost their wind;

    My coal is out, my iron's gone,
    My nails are drove, my work is done.

    That here he lies all bona fide.

    They had no care nor pain,
      And his wife wore the breeches.

    Who goes the soonest, has the least to pay.

Q: How to determine the normal of the triangles faces of tetrahedral? Tetrahedral is given by the points: p0 = (2, −1,0), p1 = (2,1,0), p2 = (−1,1,0), p3 = (1,0,4)
How can I determine the unit normal (facing outside) of the triangles faces of the tetrahedral?
And how can I calculate the implicit equation of the planes that contain the tetrahedral's faces?

A: You can use vector cross product.
The cross product of two vectors is another vector that is at right angles to both.
Say the perpendicular vector we are calculating is called C, and we are calculating it using vectors A and B, cross product is calculated as follows:
C.x = A.y * B.z - A.z * B.y
C.y = A.z * B.x − A.x * B.z
C.z = A.x * B.y − A.y * B.x
Now, the only thing missing are the vectors A and B, which you can calculate from the points you have given. Say A would be the vector between points p0 and p1, in that case, you just do:
A = (p1.x - p0.x, p1.y - p0.y, p1.z - p0.z)
Find whichever B vector you want to and you can calculate the perpendicular vector to both with cross product.

Looking for the top rated AA flashlights available in 2018? Then keep reading.
Don't simply choose the first model you find online. The last thing you want is a low-quality flashlight as it will leave you stranded when you need it most.
In a hurry? Here's my personal favorite – Nitecore MT2A – because it shines like the sun at 345 Lumens. It's as bright as I've heard of for an AA.
I'm a huge fan of the AA and AAA models because you don't have to look hard for replacement batteries. Check out our recommendations for AAA flashlights.
The Nitecore MT2A is creating quite a buzz in the industry, and there is a good reason for it. If you are someone like me who wants a big output from a LED flashlight with the peace of mind that comes with knowing you can find batteries no matter where you travel, you should definitely try the Nitecore MT2A flashlight.
Nitecore MT2A has a brilliant output, which is one of the best selling points of this product. The salient features do not end there. In fact, the product is rugged and dependable compared to most of the competitor products on the market.
The anodized aluminum body is quite hard and fitted with strong O-ring seals which give the product an IPX-8 water resistance-rating. This means you can submerge the product in water of two meters deep for 30 minutes. You can easily carry the product in your backpack due to its slim profile.
The product offers two different configurations to facilitate your needs. In fact, when you twist the bezel to the left, the MTA2 is in its user-define mode. Here, you can cycle through its four output modes. When the bezel is turned the other way round, the light is in its turbo mode. This is the best mode when you need instant access to the light's full power. In fact, the user-define mode is ideal in closer situations.
The high-efficiency circuit board controls the output.
Versatile with user-defined modes to choose from.
Impact resistant to 4.92 ft. (1.5 m).
Waterproof with a rating of IPX-8.
Better grip with rhombic knurling.
The two-way anti-rolling clip is detachable.
Maximum output is 345 lumens.
Premium CREE XP-G2 R5 LED is used.
50 hours of maximum runtime.
A 5800 cd peak beam intensity.
152m of peak beam distance.
The big output received with the use of 2 AA batteries is what most customers love about this flashlight. Many of them have found the flashlight great to wander in their yards due to the higher output of the product.
With the majority of reviews for this flashlight being positive, there were a couple of clients who have had problems with the switches of the flashlight. However, no one else seems to have this problem. Hence, it doesn't seem to be a widespread problem so it could be due to a product defect. If this is the case, the company will no doubt replace the product.
That makes it very easy to recommend a high-quality yet affordable product such as the Nitecore MT2A flashlight. If you are looking for a high-quality, affordable flashlight on the market, you should definitely consider purchasing the Nitecore MT2A.
It has a higher output on 2 AA batteries. The product is slim, strong, durable, waterproof, and impact resistant compared to most of the other competitor products on the market. That's why you need to purchase the product without delay.
It is an ideal sized EDC (about the size of a magic marker) and many owners have commented that it fits great in their EDC bags.
We love the anti-roll design which helps it stay put and keeps it from crashing to the floor. The shock resistant light housing is also a nice touch for anyone with butterfingers. Last, we love that it comes with batteries to start you off on the right foot.
Maglite is a well-known brand. The mini size makes it great to take anywhere. It offers a powerful light despite the small size.
It's American made with American made quality standards. The construction is durable and it should last a longtime as your "go-to" flashlight.
We love it because it can multi-task and keep you safe. We also really liked the compact size and that all you need is one AA battery. It can also be used with a CR123 battery by simply switching the power chamber around.
In a perfect world you would have all the time you needed to research the best AA battery powered model, but you likely have about 100 other things that have to be done first. We have taken the liberty of getting the research out of the way for you.
The size of the flashlight matters. You want it to be compact but you do not want to give up any lumens (brightness) in the process.
After setting up the criteria for what we thought would be a good jumping off point, we turned to consumer reviews to get a feel for what was working.
AA flashlights are known for having limited Lumen capability. Read our brightness flashlight article if you're looking for the most powerful light out there.
After reviewing a ton of models we were able to narrow it down to our top three. We are confident to call the Streamlight 88033 Protac the best AA flashlight in 2018.
All of the three would make great reliable lights, and you cannot go wrong with any of them for being ready to go when you need them the most.

NYPD officer shot and killed during struggle with suspect
Posted: Sep 29, 2019 / 08:40 AM CDT / Updated: Sep 30, 2019 / 04:22 AM CDT

NEW YORK (AP) — A New York City police officer grappling with an armed man died early Sunday in the Bronx after being shot three times, possibly with his own gun.
The 27-year-old suspect also died after five officers fired at him, police officials said. He has not been publicly identified yet.
The NYPD identified the slain officer as 33-year-old Brian Mulkeen.
"We lost a hero this evening," Mayor Bill de Blasio said at a news conference outside Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx.
Mulkeen was patrolling the streets around a city apartment complex at around 12:30 a.m. as part of a unit investigating potential gang activity, Chief of Department Terence Monahan said.
Mulkeen and his partner tried to apprehend a man who had fled questioning, and a struggle on the ground ensued, Monahan said.
As the men wrestled, Mulkeen's body camera recorded him saying, "He's reaching for it! He's reaching for it!"
"Officer Mulkeen's gun fired five times," Monahan said. "At this point, it is not clear who fired Officer Mulkeen's gun."
A .32-caliber revolver that police say belonged to the man was recovered. It had not been fired, Monahan said.
Monahan said the suspect was on probation until 2022 for a narcotics-related arrest last year and had several prior arrests, including a burglary conviction in Rockland County.
Mulkeen had served nearly seven years with the department and worked out of the 47th precinct. He lived with his girlfriend, an NYPD police officer in the Bronx's 44th precinct.
Monahan called the officer "brave," and said he was "doing the job we asked him to do, a job that New Yorkers needed him to do."
The track and field program at Fordham University in the Bronx posted that Mulkeen was an alumnus, and had recently become a volunteer coach. The program said that as a student, he was part of the 2008 team that won the Metropolitan Outdoor Track & Field Championship, a first for the program.
"He was a remarkable human being. Everybody loved him," the slain officer's father, also Brian Mulkeen, told the New York Post.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, at an unrelated event, said Mulkeen "made the greatest sacrifice. He put his life on the line and he lost it in service to the people of this city."
The NYPD has had a difficult year, with a number of tragic deaths.
Mulkeen is the second NYPD officer killed in the line of duty, following Detective Brian Simonsen, who was accidentally shot by fellow officers in February while confronting a robbery suspect.
"We've been here too often. We know the directions to get here," Pat Lynch, the president of New York City's Police Benevolent Association, said at the press conference. "It has to stop."
Mulkeen's death comes as the NYPD has declared a mental health emergency amid a spate of suicides by police officers. Nine NYPD officers have taken their own lives this year, a disturbing trend that is also happening throughout the country.

ACBJ chairman: Business journalism has hit bottom
by · April 27, 2009
TALKING BIZ NEWS EXCLUSIVE
American City Business Journals chairman Ray Shaw told business journalists Monday night that he believes that the layoffs and cutbacks in business journalism have hit bottom and that the industry will begin to rebound by the end of the year.
Shaw noted that his company, which owns and operates 40 weekly business journals across the country, employs 600 business journalists, the same number as lastyear.
"At this time next year, I would expect we would have more," said Shaw, noting that his company was "solidly profitable" and had no debt.
Shaw received the Society of American Business Editors and Writers' Distinguished Achievement Award Monday night in Denver. His career in business journalism has spanned 50 years — 30 with Dow Jones & Co. and 20 running Charlotte, N.C.-based ACBJ. The business weekly company has had 20 consecutive years of growth and has increased circulation in each of the past five years, said Shaw.
Shaw criticized daily newspapers who have cut their standalone business sections and who give away content for free on the Internet.
"I think the dailies can be a lot smarter in dealing with the Web," said Shaw. "The Wall Street Journal has it right. I think the model has to change." All of ACBJ's papers charge for access to Web content from their print publications.
Noting that the New York Times ran an article Monday about a 90-year-old health reporter at the San Francisco Chronicle, the 75-year-old Shaw noted that he still has a lot more career left.
"I love this business," he said. "I expect to be in it for a lot more years. Hopefully, we'll have managers who won't give away the dran thing."

How to create a cheesecake that tastes like the one in this game
We've talked about cheesecake before.
We've even seen it make it's way into games.
And we've even made a cheesecakes that taste like them.
But what does it taste like in real life?
Today's episode is all about the cheesecake in the video game Cookie Clicker.
And it's pretty much the only cheesecake we've seen in Cookie Clicker that makes a full-on appearance in a video game.
The cookie in question is actually a giant cookie, with a little hole in the middle.
It's a cookie that is made of cookies that have been mixed together.
This makes it feel like a cake that has been baked and cooled, and then cut up into pieces.
The first cheesecake cookie in Cookie, however, is made entirely of cookies.
The first time I saw it, it looked a little funny.
It looked a lot like a cookie I had baked before, but it had a hole in it, which made it look a little more like a giant chocolate cake.
It was kind of weird.
And then, when I tried it in my video game, I found it pretty tasty.
I thought it would be a little hard to recreate the cheesecake in Cookie.
I mean, cookies can be made almost anything, right?
That's what makes it so fun.
The trick to making a cheeseburger is the consistency.
It needs to be crispy and chewy, and it needs to have a little crunch to it.
In Cookie Clicker, a cookie has to have about four ingredients.
The batter, which is all chocolate, flour, butter, and sugar, is a combination of those ingredients.
The final ingredient is the topping.
This is basically the base of the cookie.
The flour, the butter, the sugar, and the chocolate.
The butter has to be melted and combined with the flour to make the batter, and that's when it's mixed with the chocolate, and you get the final product.
The bottom of the cheeseburgers are made up of a mix of the batter and the topping, and these are the little bits of chocolate and the butter that are melted into the batter.
The cheeseballs have a chewy top, which makes them perfect for a cheesesteak.
It's all about making the right texture.
You need to make a cookie with a good amount of dough.
A cheeseball, for example, needs about six ingredients, which means it needs about two cups of dough to be made.
The dough should be moist and elastic.
The chocolate and butter have to be soft.
The filling needs to feel like you are eating a cheesewest.
The crust needs to go all the way through, so that the cheesesteaks look nice and round.
The cookies need to be chewy and delicious.
All of those factors add up to a great cheesecake.
The only thing that I found to be really tricky is how to make it look like a cheesesecake, since you need to melt the chocolate and use the batter to make your cheesecake, and mix it all together.
You also need to cook it.
That's where things get a little tricky.
In the video below, I make two cheesecacakes, one made with the batter I mentioned earlier and one made using the dough that was just mentioned.
The cake is baked for about 25 minutes.
After it has baked for that long, it is cut up and served with a cookie cutout.
The cheesecake is made with all the ingredients that are listed in the recipe, including the batter that I mentioned before.
The recipe says to let it cool completely before using it, but I'm not sure how this is supposed to be done.
In the video, I actually add a few more ingredients to the cheesesauce before serving, but that's probably not supposed to happen.
It doesn't make any difference, because I'm just using the ingredients I mentioned.
I know I need to take it out of the fridge and reheat it, so I can see how this will turn out.
The recipe does include a cookie cutter, but the cheesemaker does not have one of the cutters.
It seems that the cutter is for making cutouts, which the recipe does not include.
I guess the cutouts are for making the cookies.
So, to recap:In Cookie Clicker:The cookie is made up from all the batter in the oven and all the butter and sugar in the mixing bowl.
The cheese is made from butter and flour, melted with the mixer, and mixed with some melted chocolate and a touch of sugar.
The top is made mostly of dough, but a few pieces of chocolate.
When the cheesestecake is cut into strips, the pieces are then cut into little pieces and placed into the baking dish.
Then, they are melted with some butter and placed on a cookie cutting board, which you then

Biographical or Historical Information
Born in San Diego, California, on August 17, 1925, Albert W. Overhauser was best known for the "Overhauser Effect," a theory of dynamic nuclear polarization. Overhauser attended the University of California at Berkeley until his undergraduate studies were interrupted by World War II. After serving two years (1944-1946) as a radar specialist in the U.S. Navy Reserve, Overhauser returned to Berkeley and graduated Magna Cum Laude with BA degrees in physics and mathematics in 1948. He remained at Berkeley to earn a PhD in physics three years later. During two years post-doctoral work at the University of Illinois, Overhauser developed his theory of dynamic nuclear polarization, more popularly known as the Overhauser Effect. He afterwards taught at Cornell University (1953-1958) and served on the research staff of the Ford Motor Company (1958-1973). In 1973, Overhauser joined the faculty at Purdue University as the Stuart Distinguished Professor of Physics, a position he held for three decades. His most substantial work – that pertaining to the Overhauser Effect – came in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), which has been widely applied in the disciplines of biomedical science, clinical medicine, macromolecular biology, pharmacology, plant science, and structural biology. During his long career, Professor Overhauser obtained much acclaim in the scientific community. He was elected a member of the National Academy of Science in 1976. A year earlier, Overhauser was the recipient of the Oliver E. Buckly Solid State Physics Prize. He received honorary doctorates from the University of Chicago (1979), Simon Fraser University (1998), and Purdue University (2005). The greatest honor came in 1994, when Overhauser was awarded the National Medal of Science by President Bill Clinton. The National Medal of Science remains the highest honor bestowed on scientists by the U.S. Government. Professor Overhauser died of natural causes on December 10, 2011. He was survived by his wife, Margaret, and their eight children. Sources: Wikipedia entry for Albert Overhauser, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Overhauser Materials within the collection

Donated by Margaret Overhauser on March 12, 2012 and June 25, 2012.
Materials in Series 1-3 and 5-8 have been organized by subject and/or document type. In most cases, items comprising these series were re-housed in acid-free folders. Materials in folders comprising Series 4 remain in their original order, but the folders themselves are arranged chronologically. When possible, items in Series 4 were left in their original folders with their original headings, which are noted, when applicable, in the attached inventory. Items originally housed in hanging folders have been removed from those folders and placed in acid-free folders. All materials in the collection are housed in acid-free manuscript and cubic foot boxes.
