They have a total of 77 years experience dealing with tragedies on our roads.
Pat Fitzell, the Taranaki area manager for the Fire Service, and St John operations manager for the region Ian May say as the carnage gets worse, so does the appalling behaviour of people at crash scenes.
The worst crashes also have an added factor - it's alcohol.
So when the emergency services arrive they frequently have to deal with both the carnage and drunk victims.
Ian May says it's frustrating to be confronted by an obnoxious drunk driver while St John staff are frantically trying to save lives.
There have been cases of drunk patients deliberately spitting blood around an ambulance and threatening staff.
Those drunks are on the road in the middle of the day and the middle of the night, he says.
And when a child has died at the hands of a drink driver "you have to dig deep inside yourself to be professional and caring as you transport the non-compliant drink driver to hospital".
Mr Fitzell has seen friends of a drunk driver abuse and assault his staff as they tried to cut the drunk driver from a wreck.
"It's difficult but, I hate to say it, but I guess over the years you sort of get used to that sort of thing.
"All of our people remain professional, their aim is to get the person out and get them medical treatment as soon as."
But one smash was so bad it led to a fire chief standing down for almost a year.
"I remember a few years back, the chief of a volunteer brigade going out to a crash on Boxing Day.
"It involved two cars and speed and alcohol were factors. He arrived at the scene and his daughter was in the vehicle.
"You can't even imagine how the guy felt."
It was nine months before the fire chief was back on duty.
The worst crash he could recall involved a single car carrying seven teenagers.
"There was alcohol all through the car and it was in a 50kmh zone, in the middle of the city, and it killed six of those people."
He says many young people are being recruited into the fire service, and it is fatal crashes rather than the risks associated with fighting a major fire that often prove too tough for them.
As cars have got lighter and more powerful, crashes have taken a greater toll on both the vehicles and the people inside them.
"We send them out there and they see all of these horrific sights at times. It is hard on them and we've had to set up, over the last few years, what we call peer support groups.
"We have had people leave through not being able to handle that sort of carnage."
Working in small communities could be especially difficult for firefighters who often attended crashes involving people they knew.
Mr May says drunkenness can disguise life-threatening conditions.
"Alcohol masks a developing head injury, it can distract a patient from the pain of their injury, it can alter eye pupil response and vital signs.
"You can take an unconscious patient to hospital at times, with a head injury, and you have little idea whether they are drunk unconscious, head injury unconscious or both."
Drunk patients were often taken to hospital as a precaution - but they were the most difficult group to convince they needed help.
The best Christmas present emergency service staff could get this year would be a safe holiday period on the region's roads and for drivers intending to drink to leave the car keys at home.
"It's not hard, for the cost of a taxi ride somewhere, you weigh that up against a life and it's just not worth it," Mr Fitzell says.

Engraving of Wheatley by Scipio Moorhead in the Frontispiece to her book of poetry. Phillis Wheatley (1753-1784) was the first female African-American published poet. Born in Senegal she was sold into slavery at the age of 12 and transported to America where She was purchased by the Wheatley family of Boston, who taught her to read and write, and encouraged her poetry when they saw her talent. The publication of Wheatley's Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral (1773) brought her fame, both in England, and the Thirteen Colonies. Wheatley was emancipated after the death of her master John Wheatley. She married soon after but she and her husband lost two children as infants. After he was imprisoned for debt in 1784, Wheatley fell...

A Rock By The Sea Christmas :: Volume Three
Artists donating songs include Will Turpin of the rock band Collective Soul, Dave Philp, originally from the pop/punk group The Automatics, singer/songwriters Matthew Mayfield, Ernie Halter, Todd Carey and Steve Everett, plus emerging artists Travis Denning and Saints Of Valory. Rounding out the disc are Martin Rivas, Michael Lyons of the rock/reggae band B-Liminal, Lauren St. Jane and the Dead Westerns, Mikey Wax and Mama Gypsy.
Turpin, who contributed the William Dix classic "What Child Is This?", said the 13-song disc will provide help in a variety of ways.
"I grew up in a musical household and in the church. By the time Christmas rolled around, I pretty much sang and memorized almost every holiday classic," said Turpin, co-founder of the multi-platinum group Collective Soul. "'What Child Is This?' particularly resonates with me because it asks a question. I find myself constantly asking questions about life. A Rock By The Sea Christmas offers financial assistance and healing through the power of music."
Rock By The Sea is dedicated to planning and producing music festivals and events that raise money to financially assist deserving cancer charities that provide direct services to those in need. The primary beneficiary for 2012 is the Pediatric Brian Tumor Program at Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital in Orlando, FL. The charity strives to create an outlet for these agencies to gain exposure with the public and facilitate donations. Through compilation CDs, musical concerts, silent auctions, selling merchandise and general donations, Rock By The Sea hopes to create awareness and provide an avenue that leads to involvement and enhancement of the direct services provided.
"As Rock By The Sea grows, the Christmas CD is something that our community looks forward to each year," said Beth Gosnell, president of the Florida-based charity. "The project is a true labor of love with some tremendous artists donating their talents to our efforts, and the charities we support love it. It's just one more thing that brings us together at a special time of year."

And what effect it has on your body. which carbs are good and which are bad So, there are basically two types we need to be on the look out for: Simple Carbohydrates and Complex carbohydrates otherwise known as Fast carbs and Slow carbs.They sit at opposite ends of a scale kind of like a Hare and a Tortoise. How can a carb be fast or slow i hear you ask? Good question… it just means the speed at which it is absorbed from your stomach into your bloodstream!

More DetailsWhen i turned 40 I became quite reflective on my life. Over the years I have laughed, loved, cried, had my heart broken – several times – drank too much, smoked too much, dieted too much, stressed too much. But I have also learned to never have regrets. Now in my 41st year i can safely say life just gets better. So i have written 41 things I have learned in my life… 1. We all get old someday. Looks fade. Bodies wither. It's what's on the inside that TRULY counts. 2. Never let anyone dull your sparkle. 3. Life is too short to spend with people who suck your energy. I Read more
More DetailsThe first time I juice-fasted was at a detox spa in California called We Care Spa. I had filmed a piece there for Entertainment Tonight and was fascinated by the women and men I was interviewing; sitting by the pool in Palm Desert telling me that by day three, with nothing consumed but vitamins, herbal teas and a few fresh vegetable juices, they were "not at all hungry". How could that be? I wanted to test their claims for myself. Fruit and veg provide most of our – without which our cells are weakened and are susceptible to a host of illnesses such as strokes, auto-immune disease and diabetes.

More DetailsYou may have heard of the latest buzz words, "Bone Broth" and thought "Erm, ewwwww, I'll pass on the witch-like cauldron soup. Thanks very much, but no thanks". Well don't dismiss it so quickly! Because bone marrow and the broth you can make from it, is packed with a whole hog of easily digestible anti-ageing nutrients, amino acids (protein) gelatin, glucosamine, fats, vitamins and minerals and when made properly tastes utterly divine! (see recipe below) So what's the actual scoop? As the bones cook in water, the minerals and nutrients leach out of the from the bones & marrow into the water – especially if you add Apple Cider Vinegar to your broth (the Read more
More Details"Is caffeine bad for me?" A very good question – and the answer isn't that complicated as long as you know * What caffeine is… * How it affects the body… * and how you can not only manage it, but also make it work to your advantage! So. What is caffeine? All you need to know is that caffeine is a stimulant, and we all know what stimulants do right? They artificially increase your body's metabolism and the effects are pretty immediate – like those moments after morning cuppa when you are awake, alert and ready to take on the world. But what is actually going on inside? Here we need to consider three hormones: Adrenaline, Read more

The big difference is between saturated and un-saturated fats, which you will have heard of in a million adverts but may not have necessarily understood. The easiest way to tell them apart is to remember that Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature and saturated fats are solid. Why is that important I hear you cry?!?!

Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa'ad Abubabakar, Thursday called on politicians in the country, to shun politics of hatred and should not see it as a do or die affair.
The monarch made the plea when the former Vice President, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku, paid him homage in his palace in Sokoto.
He underscored the need for politicians to play politics with decorum rather than bitterness which leads to violence.
According to him, there was the need for politicians in the country to see politics as a game whereby in the end of an election, both the winner and loser embrace each other and work with unity of purpose to move the society forward.

Several hundred Islamists held a rally in Bahrain on Friday to protest against the television reality show Big Brother, produced in the Gulf Arab state, complaining that the program was un-Islamic.
"Stop Sin Brother! No to indecency!" chanted the protesters about the Arabic version of the show. The Big Brother formula has been translated into a number of languages and aired in many countries, drawing large audiences.
Police blocked a road to the house where the show is staged on an island near the capital Manama. The program, broadcast across the Arab world by satellite channel MBC, has raised eyebrows despite efforts to take into account Muslim sensitivities. Separate living and sleeping quarters for male and female participants have been introduced, as well as a prayer room.
"We don't want such programs because our families will be influenced. Our children would think that living together without being married is acceptable in Islam," one protester said.

But I'm kinda confused….
As you know she's the new spokesmodel for Rimmel London and in her recent commercial for Rimmel she kinda does a weird, "Get the Lon-done look" Is she channeling her inner Brit accent? Or is she just pronouncing London in some new and exiting way?
Whatcha think?
Is that a British accent?

TRUTH: What?! Not true?! How can that possibly not be true?! Those of you who pride yourselves on searing the perfect steak may be cringing at the thought that your method isn't logical – it's madness! This myth has run rampant for years and I still hear chef's publicly repeating it. And there isn't just one study out there that debunks this one, there are many. As compared to roasting, searing (and then roasting) actually yields a greater loss in water. Granted, the water loss is less than 2% of its weight – but still! Don't get me wrong – continue to sear your meat because it will be more flavorful. The browning process (aka Maillard Reaction) creates more flavor and texture – but if you sear after you roast, you'll retain more moisture. Fish, some cuts of beef or other meat that you might want to eat rare might not go in the oven so be careful not to burn the crust! BOTTOM LINE: Though famous chefs have sworn by searing, their meat is probably slightly less juicer than a roasted cut. However, properly seared meats will be deeper in flavor from browned fat and protein. Some tips:

The Center
The Chinese name of this building, directly translated, is "Central Center" (Central being one of the districts on Hong Kong Island). It is a financial center that looks quite interesting at night because of the exterior neon lights.

The Price of Politics
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
See how and why Washington is not functioning in Bob Woodward's freshly reported, thirty-five-page Afterword to his national bestseller, The Price of Politics, which provides a detailed, often verbatim account of what happened in the dramatic "fiscal cliff" face-off at the end of 2012 between President Obama and the Republicans.Now it's happening again. In fall 2013, Washington faces a new round of budget and fiscal wars that could derail the American and global economies.
"We are primarily a blocking majority," said Michael Sommers, Speaker John Boehner's chief of staff, summarizing the House Republican position.
It was the land of no-compromise: On health care cuts over ten years, Boehner suggested to Obama, you are $400 billion, I'm at $600 billion. "Can we split the difference here? Can we land at $500 billion?" "Four hundred billion is it," Obama replied. "I just can't see how we go any further on that."
After making $120 billion in other concessions, Obama pleaded with Boehner, "What is it about the politics?" "My guys just aren't there," Boehner replied. "We are $150 billion off, man. I don't get it. There's something I don't get."
The Price of Politics chronicles the inside story of how President Obama and the US Congress tried, and failed, to restore the American economy and set it on a course to fiscal stability. Woodward pierces the secretive world of Washington policymaking once again, with a close-up story crafted from meeting notes, documents, working papers, and interviews with key players, including President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner. Woodward lays bare the broken relationship between President Obama and the Congress. less

This column, a regular feature, was originally published on Reuters.com.
There are so many gaps in the reporting about the effort to use economic sanctions against Russia to get President Vladimir Putin to pull back support for the Ukraine separatists that it makes sense to devote my whole column this week to listing them.
Of course, it's a lot easier to identify the gaps than to do the reporting to fill them. Still, many are so obvious that it suggests that for all the resources spent on getting great video of the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 crash site, interviews with the victims' families and reports from the war front in eastern Ukraine — all important stories — there is more heat than light being produced when it comes to the most critical, long-term question related to the Ukrainian conflict: If economic sanctions are the global economy's modern substitute for using military force in repelling aggression, how is that playing out in the first test of that strategy against a global economic player like Russia?
The Dutch:
For starters, we need to see some reporting from the Netherlands, a country that, as we have been repeatedly reminded, lost a higher proportion of its population in the missile attack on the Malaysian airliner that left from the country's flagship airport than America lost in the September 11 attacks.
Why haven't the Dutch simply shut down all business with Russia? Why are there still nonstop flights between Moscow and Amsterdam such as this one, every day?
I've read references to the fact that the Netherland's largest company — oil giant Royal Dutch Shell, a Dutch-British corporation — has multibillion-dollar assets and operations in Russia that could be threatened by sanctions. But that's not enough.
Has Shell used its influence to lobby the Dutch government, the way a US corporate giant might on Capitol Hill? If so, how?
What's going on behind the scenes in Amsterdam and at the Hague in what has to be a heated debate over how to balance these economic interests with the country's outrage?
What role is the United States playing in that debate? We know President Barack Obama has tried to push all the European countries to get tougher on Putin, but have US business interests tried to intercede, perhaps through the Commerce or State departments, to soften that push? Which US business interests have a stake in trying to soften any Dutch response?
The rest of Europe:
We know that Germany, France, and Britain have taken differing stances on stronger sanctions. But, again, we have little idea of the dynamics behind these decisions. Each would be a great story — not only about lobbying and business influence, European-style, but also about the larger question of whether it is realistic to assume that the political will can ever be summoned to impose economic sanctions that would substitute for military force.
Inside Russia:
There's the question of whether and how the sanctions now in place are working. We need more reporting, difficult as it might be, from inside Russia about which people and companies, if any, are really being hurt — and whether they are trying to influence Putin to pull back.
Back in the US:
Finally, there's the story hiding in plain sight here at home. Beyond the get-tough rhetoric from many congressional Republicans, who in the Obama administration and in Congress has been pushing for tougher sanctions? What exactly would those be?
Who are the doves? What is their best argument against tightening the noose?
Did we consider canceling the Aeroflot flights that come here, the way President Ronald Reagan did after the Russians shot down a Korean Air Lines flight in 1983? What arguments against that have prevailed this time?
What plans, if any, are in place to tighten the sanctions? And what do our experts anticipate the effect, and reaction, would be in Russia?
Have we thought about digital sanctions, such as cutting off Russian businesses from accessing US businesses or information services on the internet? Alternatively, are we trying, or do we plan to try, to use the internet to break through Putin's domestic propaganda machine?
Last issue and a big one: Could someone do a story explaining who has what authority to issue these sanctions. Can Obama simply do it on his own? Are there limits?
What about in the Netherlands or the other countries?
This kind of economic warfare seems to be here to stay. We need a lot more reporting from the front lines.

Errors analysis on temperature and emissivity determination from hyperspectral thermal infrared data
Optics Express, Vol. 18, Issue 2, pp. 544-550 (2010)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (158 KB)
Sensitivity analysis of temperature-emissivity separation method commonly applied to hyperspectral data to various sources of errors is performed in this paper. In terms of resulting errors in the process of retrieving surface temperature, results show that: (1) Satisfactory results can be obtained for heterogeneous land surfaces and retrieval error of surface temperature is small enough to be neglected for all atmospheric conditions. (2) Separation of atmospheric downwelling radiance from at-ground radiance is not very sensitive to the uncertainty of column water vapor (WV) in the atmosphere. The errors in land surface temperature retrievals from at-ground radiance with the DRRI method due to the uncertainty in atmospheric downwelling radiance vary from −0.2 to 0.6K if the uncertainty of WV is within 50% of the actual WV; (3) Impact of the errors generated by the poor atmospheric corrections is significant, implying that a well-done atmospheric correction is indeed required to obtain accurate at-ground radiance from at-satellite radiance for successful separation of land-surface temperature and emissivity.

While there isn't just one element that contributes to a gold medal win at the World Junior Championship, one thing that is almost always needed to complete the feat is strong goaltending. And right now at the 2013 edition of this tournament, it appears that Team USA has that element locked up heading into the gold medal game.

Video: 2013 World Junior Championship – Alex Galchenyuk and Vincent Trocheck, USAMontreal Canadiens deep in youth and talent at minor league levelLast season, the Hamilton Bulldogs finished near the bottom of the AHL and failed to make the Calder Cup playoff, a fate similar to their parent club, the Montreal Canadiens. New General Manager, Marc Bergevin decided to bring in a completely new Bulldogs' coaching staff, adding a good mix of NHL and junior experience with head coach Sylvain Lefebvre, assistants Donald Dufresne, Ron Wilson, and goaltending coach Vincent Riendeau. Team Rankings: Minnesota Wild owns impressive group of prospects with elite potentialBelow is the top-10 section of Hockey's Future's NHL Team Rankings. The teams are ranked in terms of the quality of their overall prospect pool as voted on by the staff of Hockey's Future. For reference, just the top five prospects are listed. To be eligible, a prospect must meet HF's prospect criteria. The rankings are done twice a year. Walsh looking to build on promising but injury-shortened seasonAfter having his season shortened last year due to a nasty hip injury, Dustin Walsh is now healthy and is looking to impress. The Dartmouth forward was on pace for a breakout season last year for the Big Green before he tore his labrum and needed surgery. Walsh was off to a hot start last season with 10 points through only his first eight games. It was the first time Walsh had averaged over a point per game (1.25). He averaged the most points per game for the season for Dartmouth and it would have also been good for fifth-best in the ECAC. Walsh's previous career high point total was 20, so he was well on his way to breaking that. |

Watch 'iSteve,' Funny or Die's First On-site Feature Film Starring Justin Long
If you're itching to see Ashton Kutcher as Apple god Steve Jobs in Jobs and were bummed by the news about the film's release being delayed, we have good news. Former Apple pitchman Justin Long stars as the CEO in Funny or Die's version of Jobs' life, iSteve.
The 79-minute movie was written in only three days, filmed in five, and is the cinematic version of Jobs' Wikipedia page — a lighthearted, breezy biopic about the computer pioneer. Jorge Garcia (Lost) plays Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak, and James Urbaniak and Michaela Watkins play Bill and Melinda Gates. We can't embed the video here since the film is much longer than Funny or Die's usual two to three-minute fare, but it's streaming online over here. These character posters should appease your curiosity until you give it a watch. Ryan Perez wrote and directed the film.
Does Long's lovable send-up of Jobs work for you?
In the movie Paddington, what is the name of the character played by Peter Capaldi

I asked the front desk to call me a cab to pick me up at 6. They did and the person came on time and when I walked out to get in I told the woman hello and she rudely said hold on and walked right past me into the lobby to go talk to the front desk person. She came back out and seemed annoyed that it was just me needing the car. (I also noticed right away that she didn't have any sort of taxi light or information in her car which makes me think this was just a friend of the front desk guy). I told her where I wanted to go and she seemed annoyed that I wasn't going to the popular Nashville strip and told me it would be $35. I then told her I only had a card and she tried refusing service saying that she didn't have her card reader with her. I told her I only had a card and she tried saying she would take me to an ATM. I said no and she looked back and said "so what are we going to do?" I replied I was going to have to call another cab company and she magically remembered that there was another way to take a card and we finally got on our way. What should've been a 20 minute drive turned into 45 minutes with someone calling her phone off the hook so she kept missing turns from the GPS and took me through the shadiest part of Nashville. When we finally reached the address she pointed to a building and said that was where I needed to go. I paid her and she left and I noticed the number on the building was incorrect. I pulled out my phone and looked up where the place was and she had dropped me off 1.4 miles away from my destination! As a female traveling alone for work in an unfamiliar city I was scared and uncomfortable and couldn't call the cab place back because the hotel had called them for me and I didn't know the number. When my husband called the hotel to explain what had happened they were completely unsympathetic and said I needed to just call the cab company and complain to them. This place is in the middle of nowhere and the staff do not care about putting you in dangerous situations.
Distance to Nashville and difficulty getting to the Hotel off of the expressway
I liked the ease of check-in, the appearance and cleanliness of the room and convenience of location. It was perfect for needing one night's rest while on the road.
There wasn't anything I didn't like. I got more than what I expected based on how much I paid for the night.
Clean, clean, clean; great water pressure; great breakfast and security.
The shower didn't have a soapholder.
Description said double room but it was one room with 2 beds.
name was changed from Best Western to Rodeway a few days ago. They turned off the sign to 'avoid confusion to customers'. They did NOT mention that fact to even after we called twice!
The room was very nice
I could hear the guest (gentleman) talking on his phone-all night! The room had an adjoining door so that may explain the lack of sound insulation
The sheets were so soft and the bed was just comfortable in general. Front desk staff was very nice. The room was clean and bigger than I thought it would be. TV channel selection was great too.
There was nothing I didn't like about this hotel.
Very friendly hotel staff, especially the lady who worked the breakfast area. Breakfast was fabulous all tree mornings had different hot offerings.
Hotel was very clean!! Room was awesome! The bed was very comfortable!
I did not like that breakfast or coupons were not included for the price that was paid.
Some of the staff were extremely nice
Our room did not get cleaned for 2 out of the 3 days. There were toenail clippings by the night stand and when we went to complain the young man looked at my husband and said 'well that has happened to me in the past at a different hotel'.
The staff was super friendly and helpful
No, needs a comfortable smoking area
Room was fine and location was good
Renovations were being done. Lots of construction around the hotel
They were very accommodating due to all the traffic we endure to get there because of weather.
Replace all the filthy worn carpet and the worse mattress on the planet.
The room was nice, it had plenty of power outlets, a nice TV, a safe for your valuables, good water pressure, and the room was very clean.
From day 1 I had to deal with noises from renovations going on right outside my door. This was slightly annoying but I could have looked past it were it not for the other issues that occurred the same weekend of my trip. The second day the water heaters all broke and I couldn't get hot water in my room until past noon. The third day the power went out for half of the morning. Overall a very frustrating stay.
Our online checkin was fine. But we requested one bed on high floor. Placed in a room with double beds and 4th floor. There were no pictures on wall, dresser had 2 drawers that you could see in( open), no couch or chairs, no bedspread, mattress was lumpy and slanted downward toward headboard, and room was cold when we arrived. We asked about this, desk clerk said they were renovating. We were not aware of this and could not cancel reservation. We were ready to leave and lose our money. Will never stay here again or recommend this hotel.
liked having coffee, fridge with freezer and microwave in room
room on second floor - no elevator - stairs difficult to navigate - room very far away from stairs - breakfast fair - worse than most with free breakfast.Room not really clean - not vacuumed well. Appliances not wiped off - handprints on TV, fridge,micro
the picture did not looked same as online of the hotel.
I did not like the hotel at all...
Everything was nasty
Staff was nice.
Unfortunately, when I was checking in, the manager was repairing his computer and after an eight hour drive, I was not happy to wait over 20 minutes to check in.
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

Will you come now and stand your ground A place to rest your heart and soul There is no better stand around Hope found, resting might take its toll Don't fight for what you don't believe Will you come now and stand your ground But don't practice art to deceive Let the craft rot, higher souls bound Believe we can learn from the sound Who make their mark with mighty words Will you come now and stand your ground Sound words are craftier than swords Though to make such a stand as this You might have to grind in and pound Unless aimed true, words tend to miss Will you come now and stand your ground Russell Sivey Entrant into Debbie Guzzi's "Stand" contest 9/16/2012

The nine seals include three national seals of the Korean Empire, one royal seal of the Korean Empire and five signets of the Joseon Royal Court of the Joseon Dynasty. The Korean Empire (1897-1910) succeeded the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910).
"The nine Korean seals recovered by HSI special agents are worth millions in the antiquities business, but they are priceless to South Korea," said HSI Attaché Seoul Taekuk Cho. "The seizure is a direct result of international cooperation and sends a clear message to individuals trying to profit from illicit cultural property in the United States: HSI is dedicated to protecting cultural heritage and will use all its authorities to return unlawfully removed cultural property to its rightful owner."
"HSI's cultural property investigation was phenomenal," said CHA Acting Administrator Young Dae Park. "CHA is deeply grateful to HSI special agents. The nine Korean seals recovered by HSI are invaluable to South Korea as they represent Gojong, the first emperor of the Korean Empire."
National seals and royal seals are the two main types of seals made by the Korean government. National seals were made for practical uses, mostly to stamp on the government's official documents. Royal seals were carved to commemorate royal rituals. Among the seals seized were Hwangjejibo (Seal of Emperor), the national seal made upon an establishment of the Korean Empire in 1897 and Sugangtaehwangjebo (Royal Seal of ex-Emperor Sugang), the royal seal carved to commemorate the 1907 royal ritual. Both Yuseojibo (Seal of Yuseo) and Junmyeongjibo (Seal of Junmyeong) were used by the government of the Korean Empire for official purposes such as appointing the government officials. Five other signets were used to stamp on the books or paintings in the Joseon Royal court.
In September, HSI Washington special agents received information from a Washington, D.C., based antiquities expert that a man residing in Escondido, Calif., had contacted them in an effort to find out if the seals were valuable. HSI Washington forwarded photographs of the seals that were provided to the antiquities expert to HSI Attaché Seoul. HSI Attaché Seoul provided the photographs to the CHA, which determined that the seals appeared to be official seals of the Joseon Dynasty.
In October, the CHA and SPO International Cooperation Center (ICC) requested HSI Seoul's assistance in recovering the seals.
HSI Attaché Seoul provided the information to HSI San Diego to assist in locating and recovering the cultural property, which was illegally exported into the United States. Subsequently, the seals were seized pursuant to abandonment of property form and in violation of the Cultural Property Implementation Act.
On Feb. 14, 1983, South Korea became a signature country to the 1970 United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property. South Korea's applicable cultural patrimony laws are the Korean National Property Act, enacted April 8, 1950 and the Korean National Property Act-Enforcement Decree, enacted June 10, 1950. According to the Korean National Property Act, the aforementioned seals fall under the category of Korean national property, which is illegal to transfer or export.
HSI plays a leading role in criminal investigations that involve the illegal importation and distribution of cultural property, including the illicit trafficking of cultural property, especially objects that have been reported lost or stolen. The HSI Office of International Affairs, through its 75 attaché offices in 48 countries, works closely with foreign governments to conduct joint investigations, when possible.
HSI's specially trained investigators assigned to both domestic and international offices, partner with governments, agencies and experts to protect cultural antiquities. They also provide cultural property investigative training to law enforcement partners for crimes involving stolen property and art, and how to best enforce the law to recover these items when they emerge in the marketplace.
Since 2007, more than 7,150 artifacts have been returned to 26 countries, including paintings from France, Germany, Poland and Austria, 15th to 18th century manuscripts from Italy and Peru, as well as cultural artifacts from China, Cambodia and Iraq.
