Some More Information about Minds Matter…
Today, it seems that a college education is more important than ever. For some, attending a four year collegiate education is the forgone conclusion after completing high school. For many high achieving students in the Boston area from low-income families, however, this is not always a realistic expectation. Without the resources for tutoring, test preparation, study textbooks and other support, these students face an uphill battle to reach their highest academic potential in today's competitive academic environment.
This is where Minds Matter comes in. The Boston chapter of this national non-profit organization is dedicated to helping these talented and underprivileged students to reach their goals of attending a four year college. We aim to help students who show initiative through a weekly mentoring program, aiding directly with developing academic skills and preparation for the college application process as well as answering the questions that come up for students navigating this complex time in their lives. In addition, the program provides professional SAT classes and sends each student to a collegiate summer program every year.
Of course, such a comprehensive program requires a great deal of financial support for each student. Each year, we provide the majority of the funding for this program through our annual Spring Soiree, which in Boston has become one of the largest charitable events aimed at our demographic. This year over 600 young professionals, most of which in their twenties, will join together at the Black Falcon Terminal in South Boston.

A prospective topple condition caused by movement of the weight carrying boom is monitored with a multi-stage warning by a gimbal-mounted light-carrying pendulum gravitationally suspendable above the chassis with its vertically descending beam displaceable over a plurality of arcuate photoelectric receivers arranged in a circle. Intermediate its length, the pendulum also carries an electric-conducting ring which on swinging contacts an electrically-conducting arcuate segment in the direction of chassis-tilt thus giving a subsequent stage alarm which may be connected to inactivate the boom-lowering mechanism as well as effecting a final audio-visual alert in the cab,

CRANE TIP ALARM BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to progressive tilt-monitoring or upset-warning devices for equipment such as cargomoving cranes and the like, which cranes are characterized by a plurality of angularly articulated, extension arms which are ground-supported to achieve positional stability which may be threatened by a rotationally swinging and vertically-angled boom which terminally is adapted to lift and move heavy cargo. Such heavy duty cranes typically are used to shift containerized cargobetween holds of ships and land carriers. As technology has resulted in heavier and larger containerized packages, the booms required to handle them have become longer, and the vehicular operating base to which the boom is attached has become more top-heavy. Overturn of the total assembly has occurred in some instances, producing loss of the operators life as well as destruction of equipment and cargo, especially when the whole tumbles into the ocean.
Safety regulations now require warning signal devices which correlate the angular position of the boom with the weight of the suspended load; if the latter exceeds a preset limit, it may act to cancel the pick-up. However, once the cargo-piece is hung from the boom and the latter starts to slant downward, rotate and/or extend longitudinally, the stability of the base of the crane may become extremely precarious and suddenly fail, dependent upon how the moving cargo-piece is progressively deployed relative to the ground anchorage of the vehicle.
With a mobile crane, after being wheeled to an operating site, Outriggers are extended from the chassis along both sides so as to form four corners of a theoretical rectangle with the ground-supported outriggers vertically articulated to the chassis and withthe vehicular wheels usually remaining on the ground. Weightshift thereafter caused by the swinging boom-carryingcargo may then tilt the chassis and lift wheels off the ground along one side or the other. While a minimum amount of such tilt is familiar to and tolerated by crane operators, it is when this condition approaches a topple-point that they need to be immediately aware of .it so as to avert calamity. However, because the rotating operators cab normally exhibits appreciable wobble, by his own senses the operator cannot accurately gage to what extent the chassis is tilted beneath him, that is, how much an edge of the vehicle (or its wheels) may be raised off the ground.
In relation to this situation it has been proposed that in cranes having hydraulic-operated Outriggers, when all wheels have been thereby raised off the ground (to obtain an operative position), the fluid pressure of the several outrigger rams be balanced against a preset standard of variance so as to actuate an on-off type alarm (U.S. Pat. No. 3,680,714).
BRIEF STATEMENT OF THE INVENTION By the present invention, the state of stability or threathened instability of the crane assembly is continuously monitored by evaluation of the tilting or changecontact'of a chassis-mounted plunger, but more conveniently this is effected by such a plunger disposed in contact with each outrigger arm; such a tactile plunger has a short induction mass carried by its proximate length which passes axially and progressively through successive electrical coils secured to the chassis, whereby warning signals of increasing danger are sent to a panel in the operators cab'so as to activate successive alarms with increasing amount of tilt. In place of the multiple coil, induction plunger, an electric eye monitoring device may be used at each outrigger. Altemately or in addition, there is provided a chassis supported pendulum-type unit which by progressive amounts of tilt, activates successive alarms in response to progressive tilt of the chassis; only a single such unit need be used for an assembly and it is initially suspended perpendicular to the horizon even though the chassis itself may be positioned at an angle. With any of these forms of multi-stage alarm, the last stage may also be connected to cancel or override a selected crane-operating element which accentuates topplerisk, such as the boom-lowering mechanism.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT A typical mobile crane illustrated in FIG. 1 has an elongated bed or body 12 juxtaposed above a chassis 13 (FIG. 4) which at its forward end supports a vehicle motor 14 and drivers compartment 16 situated above a pair of steering wheels 17, 18. The rear body portion is carried upon four dual wheels 19, 20, 21, 22 which are relatively clustered together so as to support the main portion of the weight when the crane is in operation. A rotary platform bearing an operators cab 24 plus mutually parallel cable drum 26 and horizontal boom axle 28 is disposed atop a power-operated turntable 30. A pair of cables 32, 33 extends forward lengthwise along the boom 34 to terminal cargo-attachment means (not shown). Extensible and retractable from the sides of the chassis (upon the vehicle being parked) are. four outriggers, each consisting of a transverse stabilizer arm 36, 38, 40, 42, with a terminal, flared ground-support pad 37, 39, 41, 43. The contact pads are generally spaced outward in four directions from the approximate center of the turntable in order to try to evenly distribute the load at the turntable. Obviously, the weakest position for boom stability would be midway between two corners of the rectangle formed by the outrigger pads.
In operation, ,a load suspended from the end of the boom may be found to be swinging back and forth more-or-less in a line parallel to the boom, and on its outward swing it is evident that such movement can jeopardise the stability of the whole assembly. To suppress this swing, the operator may try simultaneously to lower the boom and reel up the cargo in order to bring the two together. In such a critical situation however, too great a lowering of the weighted boom may move the center of gravity sufficiently outward so as to, cause the whole to suddenly topple. In addition, atthis critical time, watching the ship rise and fall in the water rhythmically may deaden the operators own sense of balance.-
The tilt sensing device detailed in FIG. 5 consists of a cylindrical tubular housing 47 having a contact piston 49 projecting partway from one end thereof. Axially centered within the housing is a spool 50 formed with a central longitudinal channel 52 which receives an inner length of the piston thus disposed for limited reciprocal movement therealong. Endwise in both directions from the spool, the axial channel is continued by short tube lengths 53, 54, the latter length joining an intermediate-diameter tubular housing 55 which holds a coil spring 56 biased to resist compression. One end of the spring abuts an annular plate 57 carried by the plunger which is thus normally urged outward from the housed position of FIG. 5.
The spool 50 carries a series of axially spaced insulating disks 58, 60, 62, 64, the spool lengths therebetween being wound with electrically conducting wire so as to form separate coils 59, 61, 63. The length of the piston rod 47 which is within the spool is formed of non conducting material such as porcelain, wood, synthetic plastic, etc. and near its inner end it carries a concentration of magnetisable material such as nickel-steel or other ferrous material. As progressive extension of the rod 47 brings the induction charge 65 within each coil 59, 61, 63, a current is induced in the respective coil which registers on the monitoring panel in the cab.
As seen particularly in FIG. 2, the housing 47 may be secured to the chassis by a narrow mounting bracket 66 so that the distal end of the plunger 49 rests atop the outrigger arm 36. Altemately (or in addition) the chassis-connected housing 47 can dispose the contact plunger 49 against the overlying body 12 (FIG. 4) or directly against the ground support S (FIG. 3). In the latter case, the device 45 must be set for ground contact each time the mobile crane is moved to a new location. However, the other two mounting locations remain continuously functional without intermittent adjustment. The chassis-to-body mounted plunger of FIG. 4 does not produce as much movement of the plunger 49 as the ground connection (FIG. 3) or connection to an articulated outrigger arm (FIG. 2), but is useful in situations where the Outriggers cannot be extended onto a stable area because of absence of firm ground support; for example, when the crane must be parked on a narrow causeway or alongside wet sand or mud in which the support pad 37 would sink.
In the construction shown in FIGS. 6-8, progressive tilting of the outrigger arm 36a is indicated by interruption of successive beams of (visible or invisible) radiation linearly directed from a bank of emitters 67a-b-c to corresponding receivers 68a-b-c so as to pass through aligned slots 44 of a pair of scanning plates 69, 7 l which are attached to opposite sides of the stabilizer arm 36a. Thus the closely adjacent series of emitter/- receivers is aligned to monitor successive tilt positions of each stabilizer arm and the several units are connected to the indicators on panel 70 similar to the stacked coil device 45.
Circuit integration of the four tilt-warning devices 45 into a composite warning or alarm assembly is shown in FIG. 10. It will be understood that four of the composite electric eye units of FIGS. 6-8 can be similarly connected. The first activated coil 59 of each of the units 45 is connected to a corresponding warning lamp 75, 76, 77, 78 which typically may be a flashing red light which by its position on the panel 70 designates the particular area of tilt corresponding to a specific outrigger stabilizer arm 36, 38, 40, 42. If a primary warning light 75, 76, 77, or 78 burns out, loss of ground circuit through the lamp element causes the corresponding solenoid 79, 80, 81 or 82 (which is in series with the primary lamp) to become de-energised, allowing the normally open contact to close and thereby complete a circuit through a respective standby lamp 83, 84, 85 or 86. Successive movement of the induction mass 65 into the intermediate coil 61 energises the second stage alert 88 which may be a siren or buzzer. As the piston and its activating mass 65 descend into the lowermost coil 63, a climactic or panic signal is energised, closing the solenoid switch 51 which energises the final (lamp or sound) signal F and also locks the Boom-down Control Handle H by means of a solenoid 91 which magnetically attaches and holds the handle against the metallic sidewall 121 of its guideway. Such selective locking action of just the boom-lowering function (in contrast, for example, to rendering all winch action inoperative) leaves the operator free to take immediate defensive action, as grabbing the Boom-up lever. A test system provides multiple normally-open switches 72 which are closed by any current flow through the solenoid relay 73. Energization is effected by pressing the test button 74. An ON-OFF switch 87 and current source 90, plus ground connections complete the assembly.
FIGS. 11-18 show a single multi-stage or progressively monitoring tilt alarm 92 and self-leveling mount 94 therefor, which in place of the previous quadruple units of FIGS. 5 and 6 (or in addition thereto if desired) can be chassis-attached so as to suspend a pendulumtype unit, the swinging movement of which is registered on a monitoring panel in the cab 24 so as to show the change of tilt or inclination of the chassis (and hence ofthe whole mobile crane). A cylindrical tubular housing 95 is formed of insulating material with the inner surface inset at 96 so as to receive bottom-inserted sleeves 97, 98, 99 which are separated by transverse, centrally apertured disks 100, 101 which thus delineate internal chambers A, B, C. The housing is closed by a bottom disk 102 and a dome-shaped cap 103 which is lodged in an annular recess 104; the recess additionally supports a juxtaposed pair of disks 105, 106 of which the latter is electrically conducting and connected to an external cable 93. A dependent central boss 107 of the lower disk is formed with a spherical socket which houses a ball-shaped head 108 of a thus suspended pendulum rod 109, both formed of electrically conducting material. An insulating disk 110 having an axiallyprojecting apertured boss 1 11 embracing the rod, is peripherally attached to four stabilizing springs 112 which extend to respective anchorage tabs 113 which project radially inward from the positioning sleeve 97. Spaced beneath the stabilizing disk 110 is a larger, electrically conducting, annular plate 114 which is normally centered within a larger central aperture 115 of the conductive disk 100; the latter by a cable 116 is connected to an alarm device in the cab 24.
A dependent shield 117 of insulating material houses an electric lamp 118, the light from which is directed downward through a restricted bottom aperture 119. Light passing through the outlet 119 is directed to traverse an axial aperture 120 of the lower disk 101 (thus passing from compartment B to compartment C) so as to enter a photo-receiver 122 which by a conductor 123 is connected to another alarm device on the panel 70. It will be seen that an initial or minimum displacement of the light beam moving through the aperture 119 onto the receiver 122 will signal a first stage alert such as by activation of one of the panel indicators 75-78. If subsequently the conductor ring 114 makes contact with the metal plate 100, the audio 88 or panic alarm F is activated (whichever is connected).
The gimbal mount 94 (FIGS. -18) is adapted to initially dispose the tilt-alarm unit 92 in a gravitationally perpendicular position when attached to the crane chassis, as by a pedestal P, even though the chassis itself may be restingly slanted (or the mounted pedestal may be inclined). A laterally outward and upwardly curved arm 125 with its bottom end supported atop the pedestal, distally supports a transverse semicircular bow 126, the two ends of which are formed with mutually-aligned open-top grooves 127, 128. A suspension ring 129 is formed with an opposing pair of diagonally outward extending arms 130, 131, each having a radially restricted axle projecting therefrom and journalled in one of said grooves, and with a terminally threaded extension 132, 133 carrying a lock nut 134, 135 which thus can fasten the ring 129 and arms 130, 131 relative to the bow 126. The alarm unit 92 is held by an opposing pair of diametrically aligned pivot pins 136, 137 joumalled in grooves of the ring 129 and having terminally threaded ends carrying lock nuts 138, 139 for tightening against the ring 129. It will be appreciated that by these four lock nuts, the unit 94 and its contained pendulum are set in a plumb line position prior to use of the unit.
The pendulum construction of FIGS. 19-21 modifies the form of FIGS. 1l14 so as to yield two successive sets of tilt indications, both of which are directional. Either directional set by itself can be substituted in the form of FIGS. 11-14 so as to provide an assembly with just one directional set of indicators but still having a two stage alarm. In FIGS. 19-21 the prior disk 101 and its focussing aperture 120 are eliminated and a directional first stage alert is provided by the photoreceiver 122a being formed with a ring made by four separate, arcuate shaped, photoreceivers 151, 152, 153, 154, each electrically connected to a different tilt-warning indicator in the cab 24. Cab indication of light transmitted to the central area 150 shows when the chassis is approximately level and also serves as a continuous indicator that the circuitry is functioning.
The upper indicator disk 100a has its inner edge formed by four arcuate shaped, conductor segments 142, 143, 144, separated by radially directed, insulator strips 146, 147, 148, 149 with each segment electrically connected to a different second stage, directional tilt indicator on the panel 70. The crane operator can thus learn at once with which quadrant the swing ing plate 114 of the pendulum has made contact, that is, which area of the inclined chassis is down. This may be in a different quadrant from which the first stage alert was monitored due to swinging of the cargo and/or rotation of the crane. The second stage signals from the pendulum may also be connected to lock the Boom-down handle as earlier explained.
In this connection it should be realized that with the mount 94 of FIGS. 15-18, the tilt warning device 92 can be itself set initially tilted so as to produce a final alarm by a lesser tilt in one direction than in another. Thus it can be set to compensate for an inclined ground support on which the mobile crane may be parked. This is the case when the ground support slants downward in the direction of the boom; obviously the chassis is already partway inclined toward an upset condition and less additional tilt would be required to topple it. The easy adjustability of the pendulum mount 94 in such event is a very considerable advantage.
While the invention has been particularly described and illustrated herein by reference to its use with a mobile crane which employs a cargo-carrying boom, it will be clear that such tilt-warning devices can be advantageously employed with other equipment having a rotatable angularly-adjustably-upstanding weight-carrying booms, such as the cherry-pickers used by fire departments to rescue persons from high places; the tiltwarning devices can be used on the type of building wrecking equipment which swings a heavy ball against walls to demolish them; such tilt-warning devices can likewise be used on earth clearing heavy equipment which has to operate on the sides of steep hills, etc. It is also adapted to floating cranes and marine salvage equipment.
I claim:

Good 3.3 /5 from 150 reviews
Needs to be updated-carpet old, paint peeling. Were booked for late arrival and room assigned had not been cleaned from previous guest(s). Fortunately there was a room available. Desk staff on that night very courteous and apologetic.
The only bad thing about my stay was someone running or walking in the floor above me. It was annoying.
Would not stay at this location again. It appears there are groups of individuals living at this location. The hotel was very noisy due to these individuals. The location is not the safest and the hotel was very dirty.
Bedding and Bathroom had left over hairs from previous persons stay. Very comfortable sleeping and very quiet stay overall.house keeping needs a little help
I had a wonderful stay. My problem came at check out when the manager stated I had been smoking in the room. I had not smoked in the room. When I asked for evidence to make him believe this he simply stated he would be keeping my deposit. I am very unhappy with this out come I have been staying at this hotel on and off all summer I probably spent at least 40 nights here I have never smoked I. The suites or had a problem until this ts unfortunately I will not stay here again. I would like to see the evidence or smell it atleast. Maid commit ted every stay how my room was cleaner than when I entered and always smelled better. Upset in Flint
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Silver live - 25 Jahre on stage There is an anniversary to celebrate in 2016. Friend 'n Fellow is looking back on 25 musical years together.
Since 1991, when it all began with a concert in Leipzig, a lot has happened:
Tours throughout Europe, Asia and the USA; 10 CDs and over 100,000 recordings sold; evenings with Ray Charles, Al Jarreau and Luther Allison; music for Box-Events and Formel 1 teams...
But what is much more special are the intimate, unique and moving moments during one of their live concerts.
Depth, class and entertainment -- and focussing on the essence of good songs.
And so their new album Silver Live offers a whole hour of pure Friend 'n Fellow -- recorded up close in full intensity during their About April tour in 2015.
Wonderful guitar sound and an extraordinary voice, or as one critic wrote so fittingly: One voice, one guitar -- and the rest is amazement.

Going Green Not Just For Big Business
Forbes reports that there are ways to go green and stay cost-competitive. Here are a couple of examples from the article.
Last June, Joe Nelesen, owner of a Culver's restaurant franchise in Appleton, Wis., started using leftover vegetable oil to fuel his vehicle and two tractor mowers. Nelesen spent $8,000 for a machine that converts oil to fuel. He estimates that he saves about $400 per week on diesel fuel and $100 per week in grease-removal costs at the restaurant.
In 2006, Grossman Marketing Group started purchasing renewable-energy credits from two California wind farms. The purchases added 5 percent to its energy bill, but it also attracted eco-friendly customers such as Google and Green Mountain Coffee. The result, envelope sales, which represent 45 percent of its profits, grew 20 percent in 2007.

Democratic senators on Thursday proposed a bill that would require employers to tell prospective and current workers whether they provide free birth control coverage.
The Preventive Care Coverage Notification Act, sponsored by Sens. Dick DurbinDick DurbinOpioid package clears key Senate hurdle Overnight Healthcare: Feds defend ObamaCare's affordability DNC chief spared in Sanders-Clinton talks: report MORE (D-Ill.) and Mark BegichMark BegichSenate GOP deeply concerned over Trump effect Ex-Sen. Kay Hagan joins lobby firm Unable to ban Internet gambling, lawmakers try for moratorium MORE (D-Alaska), would require the government to develop standards that would require businesses to tell workers whether they offer contraception coverage in their health plans.
The legislation specifically says companies should disclose what services guaranteed under the law they won't cover, including contraception. It does not apply, however, to religious employers and other nonprofit religious organizations that have received an exemption or accommodation for their coverage limitations.
The bill is in response to a recent Supreme Court ruling that some "closely held" for-profit companies, such as Hobby Lobby, cannot be required to provide free contraception coverage if it violates their religious beliefs.
The bill would retroactively apply to businesses starting on July 1.

Believers and nonbelievers respond to widely read essay by 'Godless mom'
Deborah Mitchell, a Texas mother of two teenagers, has been called the "Godless mom" after publishing an essay on CNN iReport about why she is choosing to raise her children without religion.
Her essay was composed of seven reasons she does not believe in God, including the following: "God is not logical," "God is not fair" and "God is not present."
Mitchell's story has received widespread attention. In less than three weeks, it has more than 760,000 page views, in addition to more than 9,000 comments — both agreeing and disagreeing with her atheistic views.
Ryan Barnett, a father raising his children in the Methodist church, responded to Mitchell's essay on CNN iReport in a piece titled "Why I raise my children with God," including his own seven points about why he believes God is real.
Under his point titled "God is everywhere," Barnett writes, "The rising of the sun is a reminder that we do not have to live in darkness. If we seek God, we will find him. He is in the sunset, in the smiles of children, in the love of committed spouses. When we don't see him, it is often because we don't want to. It is said that God is a gentleman — he only comes where invited. Perhaps there is great truth in this."
Carl Olsen also wrote a rebuttal to Mitchell's essay on The Catholic World Report.
"My experience, time and again, is that more than a few atheists want to have it both ways: on one hand, to dismiss God because he supposedly refuses to let them do whatever they want; on the other hand, to express anger and horror that God allows people to apparently do whatever they want. They demand free will, but curse the hand that grants it," Olsen wrote.
Others in the comment section of Mitchell's post on iReport say they agree with the way she is raising her children and her decision to not discuss religion in the home.
Posted with the username dhume2013, one commenter said, "Pretending to know something you don't is toxic. Religion by definition claims (pretends) to know things without any basis in fact, reason or reality. Why expose your children to these claims when there exists many better alternatives?"
Another user named saynotofaith wrote, "Brilliant article full of blunt truth and progress. It's time to grow up people and move on and away from fairy tales and toward rational, reasoned goals and objects. Proportion your beliefs to the evidence."
In the conclusion of her piece, Mitchel, however, said she does not want religion to go away.
"I only want religion to be kept at home or in church where it belongs," Mitchell wrote.
Mitchell's original post has been flagged by community members as inappropriate, according to a update by a CNN iReport producer, but because it does not violate the site's community guidelines, it has not been removed. Readers are able to repsond to the piece through comments and a section of the site called "Sound Off."

When 05.11.2013
Coldplay's Chris Martin thanks applauding fans as he sits down to his piano and begins to play his 2003 single 'Clocks' live at Hotel Café in Los Angeles. While playing the intro, he interrupts himself. 'Let me just preface this by saying I might be a little rusty on this one and I'm missing my band which is sad, y'know?' He tells the audience. 'I have to practise this because on Saturday I'm doing a concert in New York with Michael J. Fox for his Parkinsons charity and I get to play songs from 'Back To The Future' with him. Which is great for me because that's what got me into music and without that film there wouldn't be this song.'
While attempting the song a second time, he messes up and makes the crowd laugh. 'Please don't put this on YoutTube', he begs. 'I know someone already f****** has!' He also covers his 'favourite' Bob Dylan song 'Simple Twist of Fate', plays some of his other Coldplay hits 'Viva La Vida', 'Atlas', 'The Scientist' and he's about to play 'Paradise' but struggles to tune his guitar.

- Also known as the Idaho potato. Russet potatoes are starchy with low moisture content, making for fluffy, picture-perfect baked potatoes or french fries. Russets won't hold their shape after cooking (avoid using them for potato salads or gratins), but they mash up very nicely with a little butter and heavy cream.

Korea Funding to Augment Police Infrastructure in Afghanistan
The Government of the Republic of Korea will make a contribution of USD 50 million to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)-supported Law and Order Trust Fund for Afghanistan (LOTFA).
An Agreement to this effect was signed by the Korean Ambassador to the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, Mr. Seong-doo Ahn and Mr. Alvaro Rodriguez, UNDP Country Director for Afghanistan in the presence of the Deputy Minister of Interior, Mr. Ghulam Ali Wahadat in Kabul on 18th of December.
The Contribution from the Korean Government will be used to finance payment of the police force remuneration, procurement, maintenance and operations of non-lethal police equipment and supplies, construction, rehabilitation, maintenance and operations of police facilities, and for building of police-community partnerships under Police-e-Mardumi project, based on best democratic policing principles.
The Law and Order Trust Fund for Afghanistan (LOTFA) is a mechanism established to enable the international community to mobilize resources to strengthen the country's law enforcement. Besides supporting salary payments for a vast majority of the police personnel in Afghanistan, UNDP LOTFA supports capacity development programmes of the Afghan National Police (ANP) and the Ministry of Interior, the strengthening of gender equality in the ANP as well as community policing programming across the country.
Community-oriented Policing or "Police e Mardumi" has been set as one of the ten priorities of the new Minister of Interior, Mr. Mujtaba Patang. The partnership with the Government of Korea, is expected to make a significant contribution to the professionalization of the Afghan police.
LOTFA has helped build or refurbish vital police infrastructure, including a 200-bed hospital, a Drug Rehabilitation Centre, a police gymnasium and a housing complex for police martyrs in Kabul, 1,350 security checkpoints, five police headquarters, and police colonies across the country.
LOTFA is providing support to 184 Family Response Units in Afghanistan. The Family Response Units play an important role in providing counselling, mediation and legal aid services to women victims of violence and human rights injustices. LOTFA support includes training of Family Response Unit police officers in leadership, gender awareness, IT , forensics and logistics.

Clippers secure home court after beating Lakers
LOS ANGELES – When the NBA season began, the Clippers players and Coach Doc Rivers kept a constant eye on the future – one, they hoped, would include the organization's first NBA championship.
And though it came against what likely will be the worst Lakers team in franchise history, the Clippers' 120-97 victory was another step on the championship path.
The Clippers, who have already clinched the Pacific Division title, also are now assured of home-court advantage in at least the first round of the playoffs following Sunday's win at Staples Center.
After beating the Lakers by a combined 84 points in their previous two meetings, Sunday's game was tighter, thanks in part to 13 Clippers turnovers in the first half.
Chris Paul and Blake Griffin did the most damage Sunday, with Paul turning in a nearly perfect shooting afternoon.
Paul hit 8 of 10 from the field including all four of his 3-point tries. Paul also added six assists in only 28 minutes to go with 23 points.
"We need him to be aggressive from the beginning of the game," Clippers guard J.J. Redick said. "With Chris, sometimes, he eases into the game. We need him taking shots. I think we're a great team when he looks to score the basketball."
Looking ready for the postseason, Paul is scoring nearly five points more than his season average, going for 23.8 points a night over the past six games while shooting 50 percent (20-for-40) from 3-point range.
"When you watch him shoot in practice with J.J. and those guys, he's right with them," Rivers said. "He gets in the game and he's so busy being a point guard, he forgets he's a shooter."
With Paul and Redick (7 of 11) spacing the court, Griffin was able to go to work inside against an undermanned Lakers frontcourt.
Griffin, playing with a sore back and a rolled ankle, scored 23 points on 14 shot attempts, hitting 9 of 13 from the foul line.
The Clippers probably could've blown the Lakers out sooner Sunday had it not been for 13 turnovers in the first half.
Despite shooting over 60 percent in the first two quarters, the Clippers led by just seven at the break. The team probably could've coasted to a win, especially with the Lakers down to eight healthy bodies after Kent Bazemore's foot injury in the second quarter.
Instead, the Clippers locked in and only turned the ball over four times in the second half, outscoring the Lakers, 63-48.
"We go into every game and our whole message is to worry about ourselves," Griffin said. "It's about us, how we execute and how we compete."
Turkish Airlines
There are moments guys remember over the course of a regular season where everyone on the bench explodes in total joy and amazement for the accomplishment of a teammate.
Hedo Turkoglu dunking in the fourth quarter Sunday was one of those moments.
"That might be the top team moment this year," Griffin said. "That probably is it. I've never seen him move that fast or jump that high since he's been here."
Turkoglu scored 10 points, all in the fourth quarter, including the memorable slam.
"It was good to see Turk. I didn't know he could dunk. I can tell you that," Rivers said. "But it was just good to see him out there for an extended period. I keep saying he's going to help us at some point in some game. Any time he can play minutes like that, it's good."
Redick returned to the Clippers' starting lineup in his second game back from nerve irritation caused by a bulging disc in his back. Redick missed 25 games before returning to the court Thursday. Following Sunday's win, Redick said he felt in better rhythm. "I feel better physically," he said, "and mentally, I felt a little sharper." …The Clippers were still without Danny Granger and Jamal Crawford because of hamstring and Achilles' tendon injuries, respectively. Rivers again said it was a possibility that both players could be out until the start of the postseason.

text: 680 FXUS63 KIND 281824 AFDIND Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Indianapolis IN 224 PM EDT THU JUL 28 2016 .UPDATE... The LONG TERM Section has been updated below. && .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 337 AM EDT Thu Jul 28 2016 An active pattern continues with a frontal boundary stuck in the area and upper troughing bringing a series of upper waves to interact with it. This will continue until early next week when upper ridging starts to build back in over the area and the trough kicks east. && .NEAR TERM /Rest of Today/... Issued at 1008 AM EDT Thu Jul 28 2016 After a relative lull in convection and heavy rain over the last few hours...scattered storms are now moving into the Wabash Valley ahead of another weak wave aloft. Under mainly cloudy skies...14Z temps were in the 70s. Main focus for the morning update is to freshen and attempt to better define timing for storms through the remainder of the day. Slow moving convection currently over eastern Illinois and moving into the Wabash Valley appears to be drifting E/SE along a weak instability gradient. Have focused highest pops through early afternoon over the southwest half of the forecast area to account for this thinking...with precip chances increasing everywhere thereafter as a more robust wave aloft currently over western Missouri approaches late day. Main threat from storms will be the potential for torrential rainfall and flash flooding from slow moving storms as steering currents remain stagnant. Area of greatest flooding concern will be over far southern counties which received heavy rain early this morning on top of heavy rains back on Tuesday. PWATs will slowly fall back from the 2 inch+ totals over the south this morning but still remain quite high in the psuedotropical airmass. Low to mid 80s for highs still look reasonable considering plenty of clouds today. Zone and grid updates out. && .SHORT TERM /Tonight through Saturday night/... Issued at 337 AM EDT Thu Jul 28 2016 A diffuse surface front with an upper trough bringing waves through the area will keep thunderstorm chances in the forecast through the short term. Low confidence on timing of any particular wave so kept to consensus of mid range chances for thunderstorms throughout, with slightly lower PoPs Saturday night as forcing then looks a little less evident. For temperatures did not deviate from a model blend, where more sunshine and less precip on any of the days could increase highs several degrees or an all day washout (not anticipated but not to be ruled out either) could do the same in the opposite direction. Humid atmosphere will remain in place though, with no model indications of dewpoints dropping below 60s and most of the time hanging in the upper 60s to lower 70s. Due to the ample moisture and slow storm motion, heavy rainfall leading to flooding will be a threat but too low confidence on location or timing to go with headline. && .LONG TERM /Sunday Night through next Thursday/... Issued at 223 PM EDT Thu Jul 28 2016 Ensembles in good agreement in expanding heat ridge, initially over the southern Rockies, northeast into the Midwest and Ohio Valley by the middle of next week. This may serve to cap off convective potential by that time. For now, will keep some chance PoPs going throughout the extended. If a trend towards drier conditions continue, PoPs may be trimmed back next week. && .AVIATION /Discussion for the 281800Z TAFS/... Issued at 1256 PM EDT Thu Jul 28 2016 Weak vorticity lobe currently over Illinois is progged to drift eastward through the local area later this afternoon and evening. Scattered convection possible in association with this feature, but confidence is low in direct impacts at this time. Short term models suggest this vorticity lobe will pass east of the terminals around 290400Z, so convective threat should diminish by then. Brief IFR visibility restricitions in heavier convective cells. CB bases near 020. Otherwise, should see some visibility restricitions develop in light fog after dark due to the high moisture content of the air mass and little wind. Pattern favorable for widespread IFR/LIFR conditions after 290600Z. Surface winds generally below 7 kts through this evening. && .IND Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
