i think the death surge trait is a bit bugged!!
My berserker fiend got killed by some boss, then proceeded (while dead) to cast about 20 random death spells, killing most of my teammates and eventually the boss.
Not a complaint just something you should be aware of!!!
I mean it makes sense that you would cast death spells when you're dead, but 20 in a row???


Pretty easy but fun. Nice to see an escape game implemented in html5.
By the way, there are two endings.
Use it with the other "hint"
Thank you for the hint about the matches. But now I am stuck. Chocolala?
Good. Short, a bit too easy, but just what I wanted for a few minutes' break time.
I found the key and got out, but I can't find anything relating to a ticket. What am I missing?
Never mind, I found the ticket.
Actually, I do have a question about the ticket. Is there something I can do with it, or is it just something to find before leaving?
Just leave with the ticket in your inventory to get the deluxe ending.
Why would anyone want to escape from the chocolate shop? It doesn't make sense..
I used my tool but can't find any ticket.
Are you trolling ? Give us a useful hint.
The ticket is a thing. It 'gives' you a bigger box of chocolate at the end.

Q: Comparing 2 dates for restricting user to select future date? I am struck with an issue, please see the issue below and help to solve.
I have a datepicker in which I am showing (date, month, year), when user selects of previous date e.g 5th Nov, 2011 the label should get updated and show the selected date & if the user selects the future date beyond the current date it should show an alert to select "current or previous date".
Below is the code which I couldn't achieve the condition.
NSDate *post = [NSDate date];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
dateFormat.dateStyle = NSDateFormatterMediumStyle;
NSString *theDate = [dateFormat stringFromDate:post];

NSDate *dates = [datepick date];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
dateFormatter.dateStyle = NSDateFormatterMediumStyle;
NSString *datetime = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:dates];

if (datetime > theDate)
{
    UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:@"Alert" message:@"Please select current date or past date" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
    [alert show];
    [alert release];
}
else if(datetime <= theDate)
{
    date_array = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
    date.text = datetime;
    [date_array addObject:datetime];
}
[dateFormat release];
[dateFormatter release];

Please help ASAP.Thanks.

A: You can compare NSDates with -[NSDate compare:]. So try this:
if ([dates compare:post] == NSOrderedDescending) {
    UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:@"Healthcare" message:@"Please select current date or past date" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
    [alert show];
    [alert release];
}
else {
    ...
}

A: You can set the minimumDate and maximumDate properties of your UIDatePicker instance, and the user will have no choice, but to choose date from within those bounds :)

The Destroyer' returns from York Hall epic on April 21
Posted on January 30, 2018 by Michael Morgan
Conor Benn will be back in action on the undercard of Amir Khan's return to the ring at the Echo Arena in Liverpool on April 21, live on Sky Sports.
Benn's last action was an incredible six round roller coaster against Cedrick Peynaud at York Hall in December where Benn hit the canvas twice in the opening round before flooring the Frenchman in the fifth and sixth rounds to edge an east London classic.
'The Destroyer' fights on Merseyside for the first time in the paid ranks as he aims to get to 12-0, and the 21 year old is excited to show the improvements he's made since that electric night in Bethnal Green.
"The fans enjoyed my last fight but that's not the way I should've been fighting," said Benn. "I got the win and showed heart to come back from the first round. The support in York Hall was amazing and it really drove me on. I'm 21 and I've come into the game as a kid, but I've been tested a couple of times already.
"This is a tough, tough sport and I was scared that I was going to lose but it says a lot about me that I came back and won. I know I've got a lot to learn but I'm working hard in the gym with Tony Sims and I'm looking forward to showing improvements on my debut in Liverpool, a city that loves it's boxing – I can't wait."
Benn's return is part of a huge night of action in Liverpool as Khan fights for the first time since May 2016 against Canadian Phil Lo Greco.
Birkenhead's Sean 'Masher' Dodd defends his Commonwealth Lightweight title against Tommy Coyle, and former Team GB Olympians Natasha Jonas and Anthony Fowler and unbeaten Super-Welterweight Scott Fitzgerald are all in action.

What to know about the Mass. Senate's new climate bill
A technician walks with a solar panel across the rooftop during a solar panel installation at Boston Building Resources in Jamaica Plain. (Jesse Costa/WBUR)
Several Massachusetts Democrats in the Senate unveiled a sweeping $250 million climate bill this week. The so-called Act Driving Climate Policy Forward builds off last year's landmark Climate Act with new policies about green transportation and buildings, clean energy, the future of natural gas in the state and much more.
There are a lot of wonky policies and acronyms in the clean energy world, but here, in plain English, is what's in this new bill:
Makes electric vehicles cheaper
If you buy a new EV today, you'd be eligible for a $2,500 rebate from the state. The new bill increases that to $3,500, and says it applies to used vehicles as well. The money would be also available at the point of sale instead of a future reimbursement. And if you trade in a car or truck that uses gasoline, you could get an extra $1,000.
Makes charging an EV easier
Currently, there's no single group or agency overseeing electric vehicle charging infrastructure. This bill would change that, and it would give this new coordinating council $50 million to help build out charging stations across the state with an eye toward equity and accessibility.
It would also mandate that 10% of parking spots in new developments have chargers, and require utilities to charge less for charging cars during "off peak" hours.
Gets gas guzzlers off the road
The bill does this in two ways. First, it creates a new outreach program to help people in lower-income and underserved communities access electric vehicles and take advantage of the various incentive programs.
Second, it outright bans the sale of internal combustion engine vehicles beginning in 2035.
Makes public transportation greener
If the bill becomes law, the MBTA will have to phase out its diesel vehicles. Beginning in 2028, all new buses would have to be electric. And by 2040, the entire fleet would need to be comprised of zero-emissions vehicles.
The bill also requires the Department of Public Utilities to come up with a plan to make ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft give customers the option to get picked up by a driver in an electric vehicle.

More money for clean energy solutions
The bill creates a $100 million investment fund that the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center can use to jumpstart the clean energy industry and build out infrastructure. It also expands the types of programs that the state's clean energy development agency can fund. Companies working on nuclear fusion, networked geothermal and deep geothermal energy would be eligible for money and support.
Changes to offshore wind
There's been a lot of debate about whether to lift the so-called "price cap," a law that says every new offshore wind project in Massachusetts needs to deliver cheaper electricity than previous projects. The Senate bill doesn't lift the cap, but it provides some flexibility on overall project costs so that companies can propose more ambitious economic development projects.
The bill also reduces a subsidy that paid utilities for purchasing offshore wind power. The rationale for the change is that the costs and risks of purchasing wind power have been much lower than previously anticipated.
Finally, the bill changes how wind projects are selected. Utility companies like Eversource and National Grid would no longer have a say in choosing the winning bid. That job would fall on the Department of Energy Resources and an independent evaluator.

Updates to solar
Environmentalists say there are a lot of solar power "loopholes" in the current laws. The bill would allow you to have solar panels in more than one spot on your property and it would make it easier for farmers to put up panels on fields where they grow food or raise livestock.
The bill also makes changes to the state's solar net metering program. Right now, a homeowner gets compensated at the full rate for the first 10 kilowatts of solar power they generate. This bill raises that to 25 kilowatts.
And finally, the bill directs the Department of Energy Resources to design a new solar incentive program to replace the current Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target — or SMART — program.
Changes to biomass
There's been a lot of debate about the role wood-burning biomass should play in our clean energy future. This bill settles it once and for all by declaring that this form of power is ineligible for Massachusetts clean energy subsidies.
Powerlines (Jesse Costa/WBUR)
Natural Gas and Buildings
Lets cities and towns experiment
Last year's climate law directed the state to create a new "stretchier" green energy code. This bill doesn't change that, but it does allow 10 cities and towns to experiment with all-electric building codes. The six towns that have already tried to ban fossil fuel hookups in new construction — Brookline, Arlington, Lexington, Lincoln, Concord, and Acton — could be part of the program. The other four spots would go to cities and towns who vote to participate.
(For more on this controversial program, read our explainer.)
Ends MassSave help for fossil fuels
Right now, you can get financial help from the state if you're replacing an old dirty oil furnace with a more efficient gas-fired one. But if this bill becomes law, beginning in 2025, you'd have to buy a heating source that uses clean energy, like a heat pump, to take part in the program.
Reins in the Future of Gas plans
The bill pumps the brakes on the work the Department of Public Utilities is doing on the future of natural gas in the state. The department has come under a lot of criticism for letting the utility companies write their own plans. This bill would give environmental groups and the public a role in shaping the plans, and would help make the whole process more transparent and open.
Cuts down on scammers
The bill bans non-utility companies from selling electricity plans to residents. (These are the companies that go door-to-door offering to help lower your electricity bill by signing up for their services.)
The attorney general's office discovered that over the course of five years, these companies charged Massachusetts residents an extra $426 million. Lower-income residents were disproportionately affected.

While weddings used to be almost exclusively performed by ministers and priests in churches, more and more couples are seeking to celebrate their marriage by having their ceremonies officiated by friends and family or by having ceremonies in non-traditional locations and styles that demand a different style of officiant. Fortunately, it is fairly easy for nearly anyone to become certified to perform marriages and thus to participate in a unique way in the ceremonies of their loved ones or provide new options to couples seeking more choices.
Every state allows ordained representatives of religions to perform marriage ceremonies. Becoming a priest or minister is a serious, lifetime dedication in most religions and not something that can be done easily or on a whim. There are a few religions, however, that provide ordination to people who want it with no strings attached. Probably the most famous of them is the Universal Life Church, which will ordain anyone for free over the Internet. Their website includes information about what is required for a marriage ceremony to be legal and their online shop sells helpful books on the subject for both the minister and the couple. Another good option is American Marriage Ministries, which exists almost exclusively to provide ordination for people who wish to perform marriages. Their website is full of useful information for officiants and, as with the Universal Life Church, ordination is free through their website.
Judges are the other major category of people who are allowed to perform marriages in every state and becoming a judge requires years of study and hard work, much like becoming a minister does in most major religions. A few states allow marriages to be performed by notary publics, however. Becoming a notary public is usually a simple process involving forms, a fee and sometimes a recommendation letter. Notary publics are officials who are legally appointed by the state to administer oaths and witness signatures. Check to see if your state allows notary publics to officiate weddings before deciding on this course of action.
Always check the laws of the state where the wedding will be performed, since sometimes there are other options. For example, in California it is possible to become a Deputy Commissioner of Marriage for one day only in order to officiate at the wedding of friends or family members. Many states require that the officiant register with the state before the ceremony and provide credentials as well, so make sure you leave enough time to do this or the wedding won't be official. There are several website with listings of the laws concerning wedding officiants in each state (including the American Marriage Ministries website), but it's always best to call or visit the appropriate office as well to ensure that nothing has changed since the website you looked at was updated.

There are many people who are interested in doing business online. They are looking for information about trending terms related to making money online and one of these terms and questions is "what is multi channel eCommerce". If you are interested in finding an answer to this question, you have come to the right place.
To put it in simple words, multi channel eCommerce is all about selling things online with the help of different sales channels like social media, online marketplaces, your own website etc. There is another term that is closely associated with this one and this term is known as multi channel eCommerce platform. This is a type of platform which lets people handle all their inventory management needs from a centralized place.
So, in case you are managing a store on Amazon, eBay or another similar platform, you don't have to observe and manage all these stores separately and manually. All it takes to get a complete control is to use a specialized multi channel eCommerce platform. This platform allows you to use any feature you want from one place.
Many experts use the term cross-channel retailing to describe multi channel eCommerce. They describe this type of eCommerce and retailing as a marketing and commerce strategy which can help you skyrocket your profits. With a platform like this, you can sell products and services on almost any sales channel. At the same time, you can always check and handle the orders from a platform with a user-friendly interface. There is absolutely no need for training or special knowledge in order to get the most from this platform.
There are specific types of multi channel eCommerce that every business owner and manager should be aware of. First of all, besides the marketplaces we've mentioned, there is online advertising, mobile apps, search engine optimization, direct traffic, and social media.
Each of these channels is used by specific categories of people. Of course, modern people are usually using more than one type of media/channel, but this doesn't mean that you should stick to just one sales channel. As we said before, using multiple channels can be a time-consuming task and that's why you have to consider the use of multi channel eCommerce platforms that make this process much more convenient.
Hopefully, this blog post has helped you understand what multi channel eCommerce is.

Amy Casey and Courtney St. John met in 1999 while working at the same interior design firm and immediately realized that they had many commonalities in their approach to design and lifestyle. They have complementary strengths, backgrounds, and skill sets relative to interior design, which makes Casey St. John Interiors a highly qualified, collaborative, inspired design team for any size project. Their designs are reflective of their extensive experience with architectural details, fabrics and furniture, as well as art selection. Amy and Courtney sincerely care about space and how it impacts people. Their goal is always to make the design process easy, fun and creative, but also efficient for clients.
All aspects of interior design. We offer an extensive range of services from construction drawings to paying attention to the very last detail on a pillow.
We are based in the resort areas of Colorado, but work nationally. We have recently completed a yacht renovation in Florida and two projects in the Austin area. We love being able to work with diverse architecture and styles. What is your professional and educational background? Courtney has a fine art and interior design background from Kansas University and Amy studied interior design at Parsons School of Design in New York City.
We both find inspiration in art museums, traveling and working in new places, the Rocky Mountains, and our kids..
We are in the beginning stages of a couple of large-scale residential projects. We love being able to take a project from the big picture items all the way through to the smallest detail.
Do you have favorite materials, fabrics, patterns, or design principles you are known for?
We love to mix it up. Natural materials—to keep things organic-mixed with clean-lined upholstered furniture, the bold use of pattern, and a splash of color as an accent. Fine art immediately elevates any room. We try to keep things sophisticated, but comfortable, without being stuffy.
What makes the difference between good design and great design?
A room can be beautiful, but if it doesn't function, there is no point. Great design has to work.
What do you enjoy most about helping people create a home or business that reflects their lifestyle?
We are all about lifestyle and helping people create a beautiful and functional place where memories and traditions are created. We really try to listen to the details of how our clients live and incorporate that into the interior design.
If you weren't an interior designer, what would you be doing?
It wouldn't surprise us if we were working together at our own flower shop, living on a ranch, or skiing every day.
Living in the Vail Valley, skiing is at the top of the list. Courtney also is amazing with a sewing machine, and Amy likes horseback riding and tennis.
Lately, we get a kick out of all things Jimmy Fallon.
We're pretty diverse in our travel tastes… how about a weekend on a boat off the coast of Seattle, or a fun food and music weekend in New Orleans? We'll take either.

It Turns Out the Pastor Who Said Pulse Nightclub Shooting Victims Got 'What They Deserve' Is a Child Molester
by admin | Apr 12, 2017 | Featured, homophobia, News
Photo credit: Rena Schild / Shutterstock
On Monday, April 10, 2017, 57-year-old Kenneth Adkins was found guilty on eight charges of child molestation. If that name sounds familiar, it's because Adkins has been in the news before. Shortly after the Pulse Nightclub massacre in June 2016, Adkins tweeted, "I don't see none of them as victims. I see them as getting what they deserve!"
But in a beautiful twist of fate and irony, Adkins is now getting what he deserves: a lengthy prison sentence for molesting two 15-year-old children, one boy and one girl. It's also interesting to note that Adkins has been married four times and has ten children.
Savannah Now reports that Adkins was supposed to be mentoring the teens, both of who had attended his church. But instead of counseling them, Adkins groomed them into performing sexual acts in front of him so that he could eventually join in on the acts himself.
The male accuser told the jury that he had sex in front of Adkins so many times that he eventually lost track. He said the acts occurred at the beach, in Adkins' vehicle, and even in the church office.
Evidence presented to the jury included two penis pictures that Adkins sent to the young boy back in 2014. Adkins also had several provocative text message exchanges with the female.
It took the jury just one hour to deliberate before reaching a guilty verdict.
Stories like this beg the question: What kind of sick world do we live in where people think that being gay is a greater sin than molesting a child? Then again, it's quite possible that Adkins was only hateful and mean-spirited towards gay people because he was repressing his own sexuality. We've seen this time and time again in the form of homophobes who turn out to have hidden homosexual desires.

Xiaomi Kicks Off IPO on Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Plans to Raise $6.1 Billion
Reported by Arpit Sharma June 25th, 2018 at 03:02 pm 0
Finally, after a lot of back and forth, Xiaomi has gone live on the Hong Kong stock exchange giving the kick-start to one of the largest Initial Public Offerings (IPO) of the world right now. The latest news has surfaced after the Chinese tech giant scraped its plan of listing on the Shanghai stock exchange. The company which has eyed the IPO for quite some time now plans to raise around $4.7 billion to $6.1 billion from its IPO at the Hong Kong stock exchange. What Xiaomi now expects to raise is somewhat lower than the price which the Lei Jun led company had expected to raise before. The company had pegged the figure to be around $10 billion when the news of IPO first surfaced. Although the price has come down from the previous figure, the current valuation is also not less by any measure. As per previous reports, the amount which Xiaomi will be raising from the Hong Kong stock exchange will be used to fuel its operations in countries of South Asia, Europe, and Latin America. Also, recently the Chinese manufacturer has stepped into the European market by making its way into Italy.
Lei Jun, CEO of Xiaomi presented some stats in a press conference held in Hong Kong. The executive said that the company plans to sell around 2.2 billion shares to various investors around the world during its IPO. The individual shares are priced in the range of 17 to 22 HK Dollars ($2.20 to $2.80). The Hong Kong IPO opened at 9.00 AM today and is said to close at noon on June 28.
James Paradise, Asia-Pacific President of Goldman Sachs, talked about the fact that the company has attained impressive valuation although it has come into existence only ten years back, he said speaking about Xiaomi's IPO. He highlighted that the Chinese OEM is itself valued in between $54 billion to $70 billion, which although is lower than its self-proclaimed valuation of $100 billion, it is still a remarkable figure to boast of.
Apart from breaking the news about its initial public offering and the cancellation of its plan to list in the Shanghai stock exchange, the company came clean about its roadmap of investing its raised capital.
Xiaomi revealed that it plans to divide the raised capital equally into R&D of core in-house products including smartphones, TVs, AI speakers, etc. The rest of the capital would be invested for expanding into international markets, while the other part will be allocated to AI development. The rest 10% of capital is earmarked for general corporate purposes. There was also an interesting announcement where Lin Bin, Co-founder and President of Xiaomi said that the CEO Lei Jun would be awarded stocks worth $1.5 billion for his 'contributions towards the development of the company'.
Using this new fundraising in the Hong Kong stock exchange, the company plans to accelerate its operations in the foreign countries. It is noteworthy that the Chinese OEM is already operational in 74 countries across the world and it plans to expand its operations more in the coming months. The IPO is of very strategic importance to the brand since it might fuel the journey of Xiaomi making its place into the list of top smartphone brands in the world.

L'Afrique tient-elle ses promesses?
16 October - The Africa-focused briefing is now available in French. Click here to find out about the extent to which African countries are meeting the spending targets.
From Numbers to Nurses: Why Budget Transparency, Expenditure Monitoring, and Accountability are Vital to the Post-2015 Framework
10 October 2014 - Today, on the sidelines of the the IMF-World Bank Annual Meetings in Washington DC, Government Spending Watch (GSW), International Budget Partnership (IBP) and Oxfam are launching a joint paper which identifies how vital ensuring budget transparency, monitoring, and accountability will be to the success of the Post-2015 development framework.
The post-2015 framework will contain the most ambitious set of development goals ever agreed and will require a significant increase in the effectiveness and efficiency of government spending. Bringing together available evidence and new quantitative analysis, this brief shows that budget transparency, expenditure monitoring and accountability can contribute to increases in spending towards, and better results related to, development goals. Whether or not this occurs crucially depends on data availability, space for civil society engagement, political will, and government capacity. Ensuring positive outcomes in the post-2015 agenda requires a "data revolution" in tracking government spending, aid and results.
Domestic Resource Trends for Education
21 August - The "Financing Education for All: domestic resource trends for education in developing countries" brief was produced by GSW to coincide with the Global Partnership for Education's (GPE) replenishment conference on 26th June 2014. GPE is the only multilateral partnership devoted to getting all children in the world's poorest countries into school and learning. This partnership of governments, civil society, international organisations, students, teachers unions, foundations, and the private sector together help developing countries access critical technical and financial resources, to achieve their education goals. On June 26th all partners met to pledge new resources for the period 2015-2018. The Global Campaign for Education (GCE), in partnership with Oxfam, DFI and GSW, presented the findings at high level panel attended by a variety of speakers, including, Gordon Brown UN Special Envoy for Education, Naana Opoko–Ayemang, Honourable Minister of Education, Ghana, alongside
Health Care For The Poorest: Are Governments Delivering On Their Commitments?
20 August - GSW produced "Providing health care for the world's poorest: are governments delivering on their commitments?", a brief to inform and support Oxfam and partners health campaigning. Using GSW data it analyses progress by developing countries - with a focus on Africa - in meeting two key financial targets for health spending. It finds that far too many countries are not meeting these targets, and investment in health in many countries is not growing at a sufficiently ambitious level. It concludes that with less than 500 days to go to fulfill the MDGs, this is no time to be reducing or slowing down spending. Estimates suggest that in 2015 one million child deaths will still need to be prevented to achieve the MDG goal 4 of cutting child deaths by two-thirds. On current progress, the world will not meet MDG 4 until 2028, which is 13 years later than the target deadline. Meanwhile, to meet the target of reducing maternal mortality by two-thirds, progress would need to be quadrupled between now and 2015.
Spending to Fight Inequality: Is Africa Keeping Its Promises?
29 May - Fair and effective public services are a strong weapon in the fight against economic inequality. This Africa-focused briefing examines the extent to which African countries are meeting the spending targets that governments in the region have set for themselves at regional ministerial meetings. It shows that most African governments are falling far short of their pledges on agriculture, health, education and social protection.
Equity of Spending Within Countries
5 May - At the request of multiple international organisations and CSOs, DFI has begun analysing breakdowns of spending by province, region or district within countries so as to assess whether spending is equitable in terms of being related to need, poverty or other indicators or factors. Analysis has so far been completed for Guatemala, India, Mozambique, Peru, South Africa, Spain and Uganda. A summary of findings will be posted on this site shortly.
Disaggregated Education Data
15 April - UNESCO have commission DFI to deepen the Government Spending Watch analysis of education spending by disaggregating it by level (pre-primary, primary, secondary, tertiary), type (capital, wages and non-wage recurrent) and funding source (government revenue and donors) for approximately 50 countries. The database and an analytical report will form a background paper for the 2014 Education for All Global Monitoring Report and be available thereafter on the GSW site as a public good.
GSW Discussed in US
7-15 April - DFI held discussions with UN agencies and CSOs in Washington and New York about future cooperation on government spending data and analysis, as well as on ensuring that monitoring of government spending is a key component of the monitoring framework for the post-2015 global development goals. For more details please contact Matthew Martin.
New Rules for Global Finance Uses GSW
1 April 2014 - The first ever Global Financial Governance and Impact Report , assessing the performance of the G20, IMF, World Bank, FSB and Tax-related bodies was launched in London at ODI on April 1st . It used GSW data and analysis to assess whether the IMF is delivering on increasing MDG-related spending in countries where it has programmes. For the full video of the event, see here.
UNESCO Report Uses GSW Data
17 March - Education related country budget and expenditure data contained in the joint DFI/Oxfam 2013 Report and the GSW database contributed to the work of analysis for the latest installment of the Education For All Global Monitoring Report published by UNESCO. The 2013/2014 report provides an update on the six Education For All goals, presents evidence that progress in education is vital for achieving post-2015 development goals and highlights the importance of strong policies to unlock the potential of teachers to help them face the global learning crisis. A summary of the UNESCO report is also available here as well as other related information.

Against Rape
Rights, resources and self-help information for survivors
Category Archives: No Anonymity for Men Accused of Rape
We believe that the identity of men accused of rape should not be secret – we believe in open justice. There is not anonymity for men accused of any other crime so why should rape be different? When a man accused of rape is named, this can often lead to other victims coming forward – this is obvious in the case of Jimmy Savile, for example. The argument that a rape accusation is somehow a special case as it will ruin a man's life is wrong – accusations of child abuse or murder or terror are no less severe. Anonymity for men accused of rape helps rapists at the expense of rape victims.
Oppose proposal to make men accused of rape anonymous – Briefing
Posted on December 7, 2016 by WomenAgainstRape
Women Against Rape Briefing to Parliament:
Why we oppose proposals to make people accused of rape anonymous
(amendment to Policing and Crime Bill – Lords Report Stage 7/12 Dec 2016)
Following the closure of several investigations into allegations of sexual violence by celebrities and VIPs, there has been another media frenzy and lobby of Parliament for anonymity for those accused of sex crimes.
There are three main reasons why WAR opposes anonymity for sex crimes.
1. It would make rape defendants different in law from people accused of other crimes. The main argument for this exceptionalism is that rape is uniquely stigmatising, that the public believes there is no smoke without fire and therefore even if the person is never charged, their reputation is damaged and they may suffer serious repercussions. Of course it is terrible to be wrongly accused of a crime. But many other crimes attract a lot of stigma too: terrorism, child murder, animal cruelty . . . to name a few. It is not the fault of rape victims that some media outlets and members of the public ignore the principle of innocent until proven guilty. The law should not be changed on that basis.
2. It would hamper investigations rather than encourage victims to come forward. People accused of rape were granted anonymity in the 1976 Sexual Offences Act, but that was repealed in 1988 after the police complained that it was hampering investigations. By now we should have learnt from the Jimmy Savile scandal, the conviction of Stephen Port for the murder of four gay men and the latest revelations by footballers alleging they were sexually abused as children by coaches. It is clear that many violent men are sexual predators who attack more than one person. They are often only prosecuted when more than one victim comes forward with information confirming the allegations against the same man. Despite more victims reporting nowadays, many others are too traumatised or scared to report, and only get the courage to come forward when they hear of another victim of the same man. Anonymity would make it harder to get the evidence. In many cases, there may not be enough evidence to charge a man with the rape or sexual assault of one person, so a charge may not be laid until other victims come forward. We have noted increasing numbers of trials with several victims, but we know from our daily casework that there are many others that have still to come to light.
We understand that politicians are concerned about balancing the rights of the accuser and the accused. We are concerned too. There is no justice or protection for rape survivors if the wrong men are accused and/or convicted. But anonymity for the accused is not the way to tackle this problem. We urge you to be equally concerned that rape occurs on a mass scale, a crime mainly done by adult men to children and women. Many victims are for good reason still too scared to come forward for fear of disbelief, exposure and lack of protection from perpetrators. And despite a doubling of rape reports to police in the last four years (reported by HMIC), the conviction rate is not improving. Justice still eludes the vast majority of rape survivors – 85% of rape is unreported and the conviction rate for convicted rape is less than 6%.
Some women have been subjected to a public witch hunt, with journalists and social media claiming that because charges were dropped or the man was acquitted, the complainant must have made a false allegation. This is both ignorant and dangerous. There is a huge difference between charges being dropped or an acquittal and a false allegation. Look how long it took and how many women and children had to come forward before Worboys or any of those accused of child rape and sexual assault in Oxford, Rochdale, Rotherham . . . were finally convicted. Those who advocate anonymity for rape defendants seem much less concerned with the frequent witch-hunting rape victims face.
3. It would reinforce the myth that women and children commonly lie about rape. There is a widespread sexist belief that lots of allegations of rape are false – this is totally untrue. Only 2% of reported rapes are false (speech by Alison Saunders, Chief Crown Prosecutor for London 2012). In fact, we believe the figure to be even lower as we know that it is not unusual for women to be bullied by police to retract their allegation; some then find themselves prosecuted for Perverting the Course of Justice even though they are innocent rape victims. Southwark Sapphire was found guilty of this in 2012 after one woman was forced to retract her allegation of rape by her husband. Two years later, her husband went on to kill their children. Had the police taken her rape complaint seriously, her children might not be dead. Many rape victims are prosecuted for making a false accusation after a biased police investigation, such as in the case of Layla Ibrahim, whose miscarriage of justice has been lodged with the Criminal Cases Review Commission.
Many rapes are closed by the police without even CPS consultation. Sometimes we have to complain when evidence is lost, neglected or not tested, witnesses aren't contacted, and more attention is paid to the victim's behaviour, over lines of enquiry that point towards a defendant's guilt.
Instead of assuming that most women who report rape are liars, why don't we assume that most men arrested for a sexual offence deny it? A Sapphire (rape specialist) detective told us she had never arrested and interviewed a man accused of rape who admitted their guilt. Stuart Hall initially denied the allegations of one woman as "pernicious, callous, cruel and spurious". If he had had anonymity he would have probably taken the stand denying his guilt and secured an acquittal. But when he was named other women came to the police and told them of more assaults. After that, he had no choice but to plead guilty. To initially call his first victim a liar is something that happens to many other victims who report rape or other violent crimes – this is far more widespread than a false report.

Learn about the married life of Halle Berry. Here's the breakdown.
Halle Maria Berry is an actress. She came from mixed-race English and American, Berry started her early career as a model and entered several beauty contests, finishing as the first runner-up in the Miss USA pageant and sixth in the Miss World 1986.
On August 14, 1966, she was born to Judith Ann Hawkins, Jerome Jesse Berry Cleveland, in Ohio, United States. For her role in introducing Dorothy Dandridge (1999), Berry won a Primetime Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award.
Berry became the first and only African-American woman to have won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in the romantic drama film Monster's Ball (2001). Many fans of her are eager to know more about her relationship status, which is right ahead of this article.
Who is Halle Berry Dating as of 2021?
Halle Berry is currently dating a musician, Van Hunt, who stole her heart in 2020. The Oscar winner confirmed her relationship with Hunt in September 2020 with a cheeky Instagram post.

They even made their red carpet entrance at the 2021 Academy Awards in April. After all, letting herself fall in love with Van, Halle expressed that she "feels most at peace with who she is as a person and where she is in her life," a mate exclusively answered Closer Weekly in January 2021, noting the film icon feels like everything is coming as the piece.

In the end, it just got to a point where that wasn't enough. "I think I arrived at a point in life that I realized I needed more to get me up in the morning. More than going to a new movie set," she said in an interview.

"I need something even more profound than that and that's family. And that's children." It seems like Berry's found that "extra push" to get her out of bed every morning.

Crystal Head is vodka like no other, for a life like no other. An exploration of extraordinary people, places, and ingredients. Beginning with an archaeological mystery dating back thousands of years, we arrive at the deep, glacial waters of Newfoundland, Canada. We continue on to discover the unique crystals of Herkimer, New York before finally making our way into the hands of unique individuals like yourself. And of course, this isn't the end of the story. It's the start of a new one. A controversial archaeological mystery, 13 crystal heads have been found in regions around the world, from the American southwest to Tibet. They're dated between 5,000 and 35,000 years old, and were supposedly polished into shape from solid quartz chunks over a period of several hundred years. The heads are thought to offer spiritual power and enlightenment to those who possess them, and as such stand not as symbols of death, but of life. Naturally pure vodka had to be born of an equally pristine primary ingredient. The deep glacial aquifer water of Newfoundland, Canada became the perfect choice. As the easternmost landmass in North America, this vast and largely untouched island shares a mystery and fascination not unlike the crystal head legend itself. Fitting that the Crystal Head distillery chose 'The Rock' as its new home. The result was perfect vodka, with absolutely no additives. Nothing was needed, because it was abundantly clear that finely produced vodka came by its smoothness and flavor naturally. So in the end, the only things required were a glass and a pure spirit of one's own.
Still using pristine Newfoundland water, Crystal Head Aurora vodka does away with the 100% corn recipe of the original and instead chooses to use North Yorkshire wheat. Not content with distilling it four times, the new Crystal Head Aurora is 5-times distilled and filtered through 500-million-year old Crystals known as Herkimer Diamonds. The result is a bolder, drier, spicier vodka with an incredibly smooth character and a warming finish.
1. Add ingredients to a shaker with ice.
2. Shake vigorously and strain into a frosted glass.
3. Garnish with apple peel and lemon peel.

US Navy ship USS Porter travels to Black Sea for NATO operation
The USS Porter has begun travelling to the Black Sea for a NATO operation to support allies in the area.
The Arleigh Burke-class USS Porter travelled to the Black Sea as part of a NATO operation to create stability in the region. The deployment is the sixth time this year that a US ship has been sent to the area.
Most recently the USS Carney went to the Black Sea to participate in Sea Breeze, an exercise hosted by the US and Ukraine that brought together 19 different countries. The operation took place in July and was the 19th iteration so far.
Commander of the 6th Fleet Vice Admiral Lisa M. Franchetti said: "The naval operations we conduct in the Black Sea with our allies and partners maintain the strong relationships that are necessary for regional stability."
"The inherent flexibility of our forward-deployed naval force DDGs enables our ability to provide a credible defense and ensure we are postured appropriately to support our global operations."
Porter, forward-deployed at Naval Station Rota, Spain, is conducting naval operations in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations in support of U.S. national security interests in Europe. The U.S. Navy routinely operates in the Black Sea consistent with international law, as well as with the Montreux Convention.
The US Navy 6th fleet is headquartered in Naples, Italy. It performs a scope of naval operations to secure US interests and promote stability in the region as well as partnering with allied and interagency partners in Europe and Africa to conduct joint operations.
