The European Prison Observatory operates in 8 countries (France, United Kingdom, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Poland, Portugal, Spain), in order to monitor the penitentiary systems and the prison regimes and conditions. Through quantitative and qualitative analysis, the European Prison Observatory analyses the present conditions of the national prison systems and the related systems of alternatives to detention in Europe, underlining their peculiarities and weaknesses, and comparing these conditions to the international norms and standards relevant for the protections of inmates' fundamental rights.
The first action of the European Prison Observatory was the gathering of available data on conditions of detention in different European countries. The main references for the identification of the data to be collected have been SPACE I (Annual Penal Statistics of the Council Of Europe) and the European Prison Rules. The annual penal statistics have been used to identify what kind of data ca be expected to be available in every country; the European Prison Rules set the guidelines to determine if detention conditions match the minimum necessary standards to be met in Europe.
The most important part of this research is the qualitative one, regarding the actual detention conditions of the 8 monitored European Countries. This part of our work is mainly based on the European Prison Rules (EPR). Established in 1987 with a recommendation of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe (recommendation no. R (87) 3 on the European Prison Rules), the European Prison Rules are the main reference for the correct management of deprivation of personal liberty in the European Union. They require all persons deprived of their liberty to be treated with humanity and with respect for human dignity. The Council of Europe recommendation - revised by Recommendation Rec (2006) 2 - urges the Member States to ensure that domestic regulations and interpretive practices of the different EU countries comply with some basic principles...read more

The European Prison Observatory (EPO) was launched in Rome in February 2013 and operates in 8 countries (France, Great Britain, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Poland, Portugal, Spain). Through quantitative and qualitative analysis, the EPO monitors and analyses the present conditions of the different national prison systems and the related systems of alternatives to detention in Europe, comparing these conditions to the international norms and standards relevant for the protections of inmates' fundamental rights, particularly the European Prison Rules (EPR) of the Council of Europe.
The analysis of the conditions of detention in the countries where the EPO operates highlights the fact
that none of those countries are actually applying the Council of Europe's philosophy, or are respecting many of its recommendations. However, this study revealed several interesting initiatives in accordance with the Council of Europe philosophy that could be an inspiration for other countries.
The most interesting ones are presented below in specific chapters: they represent experiments that have been implemented on a systemic basis and have been submitted to some sort of evaluation, and which can therefore be characterized as "good practices". In some cases, the philosophy was not fully respected, but one or several countries had nevertheless developed measures or initiatives that still remain interesting and need to be highlighted. These countries' specificities are pointed out in the general introduction of each chapter (with a mention of the country in bold)...read more
The Optional Protocol to the UN Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (OPCAT) was adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2002 and came into force in 2006.
The OPCAT establishes a system of unannounced and unrestricted visits to all places where persons are deprived of their liberty by independent international and national monitoring bodies. When a State ratifies the OPCAT, its main obligation is to set up a National Preventive Mechanism (NPM) to undertake regular visits to places of detention. For the first time, an international treaty focuses on national implementation and provides a national body with specific powers to prevent torture and ill-treatment. NPMs are mandated to conduct regular visit to all types of places where persons are deprived of liberty. These visits should lead to reports and concrete recommendations to improve the protection of persons deprived of liberty. NPMs can also make comments on laws and regulations and propose reforms. Every year, NPMs have to publish an annual report on their activities and torture prevention issues in their country.
Half of the States in the world have expressed an interest in the system promoted by the OPCAT. As of February 2014, 72 States had ratified the OPCAT and an additional 20 States had signed the treaty. Many others have started consultations at the national level in the view of ratification.

I sighed still not knowing where Kira was. I looked at Lucario and smiled softly and walked towards her. She smiled at me and knew what I was going to ask before the words escaped my mouth. She looked around and started sensing for Kiras aura and brought us outside and pointed towards the forest. I smiled and took Lulus and Pikachus Pokeballs out and returned them into the Pokeballs.
"Alright Buizel lets see how fast you can really go. Is it alright if you use aqua jet to take us to Kira" The Buizel nodded and smiled and allowed me onto it's back which wasn't a hard task due to me not being heavy. Buizels body slowly turned into water and we took off at full speed towards the forest. I smiled as the wind blew through my hair and after a few minutes we arrived by Kira, Teal and Tristen.
"Good job Buizel" I said and stroked the now wet fur on his head. It smiled with glee and jumped around and hugged me causing me to get my clothes wet. I slightly chuckled and took out Buizels Pokeball out and returned it into it.

Celebrate National Doughnut Day with Nutella-filled Doughnutsbellalimento
Happy National Doughnut Day! Did you know that Krispy Kreme and Dunkin' Donuts are both giving out free doughnuts today? I don't live anywhere near either so I'll have to make my own doughnuts to celebrate. My favorite doughnuts are Bombolini alla Nutella aka sweet pillows of doughnuts filled with creamy choco-nutty goodness that is Nutella.
They're not difficult but do take a little time. When you're ready to whip up a batch {or two they're insanely addictive} you can find my recipe here.

Luxury metal bedstead gallery
Elegant, romantic and harking back to an era of nightcaps and candlesticks, a metal bedstead is an investment buy that will ensure you'll sleep soundly for years to come. Choose from strudy brass beds or ornate designs
There is no type of bed so reassuringly sturdy and likely to create wow factor as one with a metal frame, and from elegant, curvy models popular in the Victorian era, to ornate, intricately cast designs, there's a huge variety on offer.
Large bedroom
For a large boudoir, high head and foot boards will add to the grandeur – but do opt for a king-size model, which measures 5ft , to ensure there's plenty of space for a comfortable night's sleep.
Small bedrom
Smaller bedrooms are best complemented by a metal frame with a low end which will not encroach on the space. To create the ultimate focal point, opt for a four-poster bed frame with ornately cast posts; this type of bed can often be dressed with fabrics to soften the look.
Reclaimed metal
A reclaimed metal bed will add instant period charm, but bear in mind the fact that some antique models will be a non-standard size, meaning you'll have to factor in the cost of having a bespoke mattress made.

Someplace unimaginable
Since there was only one Pokémon Center close enough for convenience, he had his Pokémon healed, and was out of the building very swiftly. He didn't trust the crowds that came in and out of there. People were idiotic and stupid in large groups.
He ran his fingers along the head of his cane, which was shaped in the form of a steel dragon's head, that had been fashioned for him before he had left. He needed at least some rudimentary form of defense against those who would not honor the ways of battling with Pokémon to decide the outcome of things.
He already had used it twice since he'd gotten that cane, but he practiced enough with the thing back home to where at least it was more than just a prop. The dragon's head had sapphire eyes that seemed to burn in their own light, and they were set while the steel was still red-hot. It was always light with most of its weight centered within the steel at the top.
He had no idea who that blue cane had belonged to, but he ended up getting it anyway from the village elders to walk around with. However, he did hear rumors here and there that he was given an object blessed by the gods to offset the curse that he had on him, or whatever those superstitious people said. It just so happened that a cane fit that description, and he was told to use it.
So, he did. It didn't really matter about the stories behind the thing. It seemed to fit him perfectly though, and always seemed to be light enough to use, and strong enough to defend himself with. That was all that mattered.
He got his Pokémon back, and quickly got out, with the intentions of heading to one of the classrooms. After all, it always benefitted to know what one was doing when he got there.

All roads lead to Asia for natural-gas bulls.
The smog blanketing northern China, along with uncertainty over Japan's nuclear future, make a compelling case for getting behind producers of the cleaner-burning fuel. But cast your eyes south to Australia, where a $160 billion gas-export-facility investment boom is under way, and it's the bears who are in charge. The S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index has fallen 27% since peaking in April 2011, sharply lagging behind Australia's main stock index, which is flat over the same period.
Will this underperformance last?
No, says Paul Xiradis, the chief executive of Sydney-based fund manager Ausbil Dexia. Xiradis has been buying stock in Santos (STO.Australia), saying that concerns over cost overruns at its major projects in Australia and Papua New Guinea are overdone. Santos, Origin Energy ORG.AU -0.38461538461538464% Origin Energy Ltd. Australia: Sydney AUD5.18 -0.02 -0.38461538461538464% /Date(1474924223000-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 20m) : 3811267 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap 9118143765.54847 Dividend Yield 3.861003861003861% Rev. per Employee 2051800 More quote details and news » (ORG.Australia), and Woodside Petroleum WPL.AU -1.4996429421566293% Woodside Petroleum Ltd. ADR U.S.: OTC USD20.69 -0.315 -1.4996429421566293% /Date(1474669200000-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 4287 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap 17555146098.7869 Dividend Yield 3.286611889801837% Rev. per Employee 1275820 More quote details and news » (WPL.Australia) are investing heavily in liquefied natural gas—natural gas cooled to a liquid so it can be transported by ship. But they are facing head winds ranging from the rising cost of labor and equipment to the strong Australian dollar, which is up 70% against the greenback since its 2008 lows.
"IT DEPENDS ON YOUR RISK tolerance, but there's no doubt that, longer term, these projects are worth a lot of money to the companies and obviously will generate a lot for shareholders as well," Xiradis contends.
Santos and Origin are the biggest shareholders in separate plants in eastern Australia's Queensland state, respectively costing $18.5 billion and 24.7 billion Australian dollars ($25.3 billion) and due to come online in 2015. Woodside's $15 billion Pluto terminal in western Australia shipped its first cargo of LNG last May, and management must decide by midyear whether to lead development of an even bigger terminal nearby.
Driving this investment is rapid growth in Asian-energy demand. China's gas consumption alone has been forecast to hit 545 billion cubic meters by 2035, quadruple its 2011 level. India is also shopping for gas, while Japan must find new LNG sources to replace supply deals that are expiring soon.
At the same time, Australia's political stability and close proximity to Asia give it an edge with buyers over some other global suppliers, especially those in the Middle East.
North America has the potential to become a rival in global gas markets, but its exports won't start until 2015 at the earliest and then at a very low level. Almost all Australian projects under construction will be operating by 2017.

However, those comparisons gloss over the large jump in Australian company earnings when their heavy capital investment in LNG projects starts to bear fruit. In addition, about 90% of the gas is already contracted to Asian customers at prices linked to oil futures. So the plants should be profitable, even if costs continue to rise.
Confidence in the sector was dented in December when Chevron said that the cost of its Gorgon LNG venture with Exxon and Shell (RDS-A) in western Australia had ballooned by 40% in U.S. dollar terms, to $52 billion, because of labor shortages, currency swings, and delays due to bad weather. However, analysts say that the current share prices barely value Australian companies' LNG projects—if at all.

Benjamin Wilson, an oil and gas analyst at JPMorgan in Sydney, notes that investors in Santos have free exposure to the GLNG project in Gladstone, Queensland, based on Santos' current share price of A$11.90. That project is at risk of cost overruns, particularly owing to currency swings, but Wilson argues that this shouldn't deter investors. "Given that GLNG's total capital expenditure would need to double from this point to destroy its net present value, we think the exposure is a sound bet," says Wilson, who rates Santos at Overweight with a price target of A$17.17—44% above its current level.

Pios outslug Parkview
CROWLEY – Anytime the Notre Dame Pioneers and the Parkview Eagles square off in any sport, fans are in store for a treat.
Such was the case Friday when the Eagles invaded Miller Stadium for a non-district showdown with the hometown Pioneers.
The two teams slugged it out for seven innings in a contest that saw 52 runners reach base courtesy of 33 hits, 10 errors and 10 walks.
But in the end, it was the it was the Pios that emerged with an impressive 16-10 victory over the No. 4 ranked Eagles.
The No. 5 ranked Pios have now won 11 straight games and currently sit at 16-11 on the season heading into Tuesday's District 4-3A road contest at Jennings.
"The game tonight was kind of everything that we knew it would be," said Notre Dame coach Timmy Robichaux. "We knew that they (Parkview) were very physical at the plate and we knew we would have to put some runs on the board to even be in the game."
Robichaux's squad had little to no trouble lighting up the scoreboard. The Pios exploded for 17 hits, six for extra bases, and scored at least run in all but one inning Friday.
"Tonight, I think it was the emotion and the intensity and wanting to be in this game is what I think fueled everybody," said Robichaux. "When you go to the plate with passion and confidence, these are the things you can accomplish."
Oddly enough, only 13 of the game's 26 runs were earned. The Pios had two errors that led to four unearned runs while the Eagles committed eight miscues that led to nine unearned runs.
"The biggest thing was that we put a lot pressure on them and we put constant pressure on them," said Robichaux. "Everybody had good quality at bats and just overall, in every phase of the game, everybody played well.
"They put a lot of pressure on us too, defensively, and we had some spurts in there but we never really fell apart."
Parkview southpaw Hayden Schoen was tagged with the loss after surrendering eight runs, four earned, on seven hits and three walks through the first 2 2/3 innings.
Overall, the Pios clubbed out 17 hits on the night.
Gavin Bourgeois led the attack with a 4-for-4 performance from the leadoff spot. He drove in three runs and scored four times.
Dillan Gilbert followed with three hits, including a double, a triple and three RBI while Joe Faulk had two doubles, a single and three RBI. Brennan Corzine added a double and two singles; Alex Rozas singled twice and drove in one run and Sam Veillon had two singles. Brad Stoma and Jeff Michael Daigle each had an RBI.
Notre Dame's Alex Holston (2-1, 5 saves) earned the victory after four innings of relief work. He limited the Eagles to three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out three.
The Eagles were led by Brennan Bozeman and Chris Dupont with three hits each. Hezekiah Randolph, Zack Hamilton and Gage Pickett each added two hits while Hayden Nickens and Cody Daigle each had one.

Rosie O'Donnell: Leaving The View Was Doctor's Orders
Originally posted 02/08/2015 09:55AM
For Rosie O'Donnell, leaving The View was just what the doctor ordered.
The comedian suffered a near fatal heart attack in 2012 and has kept a firm eye on her health ever since. "My doctors were noticing that there was an uptick in my numbers since I started on the show," the co-host of ABC's The View told PEOPLE while premiering her new documentary Rosie O'Donnell: A Heartfelt Standup at the Athena Film Festival in New York on Saturday.
"It got a little bit worse right before the holidays, and my doctor was kind of concerned, so when I went back after the holiday break, she said to me, 'You know, the stress level is too much,' " said O'Donnell, 52.
At that point, O'Donnell realized she had to eliminate whatever stress she could. "I've had a lot going on in my personal life that's been very stressful. I have five kids, four of them teenagers, that's a lot of my attention," not to mention, the problems within her marriage to Michelle Rounds. "You know, Michelle and I are going through some hard stuff, and I can't really fix those things right away, but I can fix this," O'Donnell said.
Why Rosie O'Donnell Left The View
Originally posted 02/07/2015 05:05PM
Her first run on The View was full of controversy and on-air clashes. Her return, seven years later, was hotly anticipated. But just six months later, Rosie O'Donnell is exiting again, leaving the ABC talk show without its resident spitfire.
Why? The 52-year-old comedian announced Friday that she's refocusing her life after separating from wife Michelle Rounds.
Rosie O'Donnell Says Not Calling 911 During Heart Attack Was the 'Stupidest Decision'
Originally posted 10/24/2012 02:50PM
Rosie O'Donnell could have died when she suffered a heart attack earlier this year, and she now says that deciding not to call 911 was a nearly fatal choice.
"I said to Michelle, 'I think this could be a heart attack,' " O'Donnell, 50, says, referring to her wife Michelle Rounds, on the The Dr. Oz Show airing Thursday. "She says, 'I'm going get you some aspirin.' By chance, three days before, [Michelle] had purchased Bayer Women's Aspirin. I chewed them, and then I fell asleep. But then I did not call 911, and I should have."
O'Donnell says she later learned that women often don't reach out for help during a heart attack. "Fifty percent of women, while having heart attacks and suspecting they're having heart attacks, do not call 911," she says. "It was the stupidest decision I ever made in my life."

"Trouble-free shades"
By Carol from MI
I love your company! I have had nothing but problems with Hunter Douglas blinds. And I spent a fortune on them. The designers/interior decorators can have them - I'm sticking with Blindsgalore.View this product
"Great Shades!!!"
By Lin Loves Levelor from Lancaster
Ordered these because I already love Levolor....we have them in several windows in the house. We tried the room darkening this time and they are amazing--really darken!!! The color is just as shown on the sample and matches the room perfectly. I will order Levelor again.View this product
