The College produces a range of publications to help put the evidence in the hands of police practitioners, and to make it available to academics and the public.
All our research publications are independently peer-reviewed to help ensure that government standards are met.
We have organised our research publications according to the 10 National Policing Curriculum categories. These categories have been developed to reflect diverse police roles but are also relevant to practitioners, academic partners and agencies across the crime prevention and wider law enforcement sector.
Systematic reviews sum up the best available research on a subject and can provide evidence of "what works". These exhaustive reviews use explicit criteria to find, assess and draw together findings from relevant studies, sometimes combining them into a single, much larger study.
Rapid evidence assessments (REAs) follow a similar approach but are less exhaustive, so that the literature can be summarised and made available more quickly.
Please select a category from the list below to see published research from the College of Policing.

Cesc Fabregas is rated as 50:50 for Saturday's North London derby.
Arsenal's Spanish midfielder is laid low with a virus and a decision will be made on Friday over his involvement at White Hart Lane.
Freddie Ljungberg is doubtful with the hamstring injury that stopped him playing against Manchester City on Tuesday. Otherwise Arsenal will be without only the long-term absentees - Thierry Henry (groin/stomach), Theo Walcott (shoulder) and Robin van Persie (foot).
"Cesc has a little sickness," said Arsène Wenger in an exclusive interview with Arsenal TV Online on Thursday afternoon.
"He will have a test tomorrow to see how he feels. As it stands he is 50:50 today. We will not gamble on him. He is not injured but he has caught a virus.
"Freddie Ljungberg is a major doubt as well but we have not lost anybody else from Tuesday."
Arsenal TV Online subscribers will be able to see the full interview on Friday. In it, the Arsenal manger talks about: the departure of David Dein, the victories over Bolton and Manchester City, the North London derby, his record against Tottenham and the latest on the futures of Julio Baptista and Jens Lehmann.

text: London: Singer-songwriter Melanie Janine Brown says she is always prepared for the worst case scenario on the red carpet and likes to keep a sewing kit with her all the time in case her outfit starts to unravel. I carry a little sewing kit because Ive had dresses fall off before. And I always have safety pins too, just in case, femalefirst.co.uk quoted Brown as saying. The Americas Got Talent judge also never travels without her favourite haircare products because she likes her tresses to look perfectly groomed and glossy. I use a lot of Bumble and Bumble products on my hair. Surf Spray is my favourite. It gives you body and shine and it seems nice, she said. The 38-year-old who is known for her bold dressing sense said her go-to looks are daring dresses in bold colours or fitted trousers with cool accessories. Ive always been into, particularly back then, loud clothes. My style now goes from workout stuff to, depending on whether Im going somewhere nice, a fitted dress. Or Im a leggings and boots girl. I vary it. Depends on how I feel when I wake up, she had said. IANS Melanie Brown Melanie Brown Overview Biography Fan Speaks Fan-tastic Photos Photos Videos Upcoming Movies Wallpapers

Petchem parents should be warned that the next US craze to hit their children, after stickers and vampires, is going to be Silly Bandz, colourful elastic wristbands which are selling at the rate of a million packs a week in the US.
Each pack contains 24 rubbery plastic bands, shaped like animals or fish or musical instruments. Celebs are wearing them, and they should be coming to Europe during August, just in time for the new school year. Expect to see children swapping and twanging each other with the bands before the summer is out. It can only be a matter of months before schools start banning them.

As Republicans criticize U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, some members of Congress are suggesting that racism and sexism may be behind the attack.
Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., says that the attacks on Rice have gone beyond her job performance. When asked about Rice on CNN's Starting Point on Tuesday, Clyburn said that words like "lazy" and "incompetent," which have been used to describe black members of the administration, including Rice and President Obama himself, are reminiscent of language used to undermine minorities in decades past.
"You know, these are code words," Clyburn said. "We heard them during the campaign. During this recent campaign, we heard Senator Sununu calling our president lazy, incompetent—these kinds of terms that those of us, especially those of us who were grown and raised in the South, we would hear these little words and phrases all of our lives, and we'd get insulted by them."
A Republican was the first to appoint African-Americans to the office of secretary of State -- the highest-ranking appointed position in a presidential administration. President George W. Bush named Colin Powell to the job, followed by Condoleezza Rice.
Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., have attacked Rice in recent weeks for her Sunday show appearances in the days following the terrorist attack in Libya that killed four Americans, criticizing her for not going further to label the assault a terrorist act. On Monday, 97 House Republicans sent a letter to President Obama saying that Rice is unfit to succeed Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The administration has said that Rice was simply using talking points supplied by the intelligence community during her television appearances.
Last week, Rep. Marcia Fudge, D-Ohio, the new chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, also suggested that the attacks on Rice go beyond her job performance.
"It is a shame that any time something goes wrong, they pick on women and minorities. I have a real issue with that," Fudge said. "For you who are haters, as the young people say, your hate is going nowhere. Just go on and hate on, but look in the mirror and hate yourself, not the people that do this work."

Blog: 1941
1941 anniversary exhibition
Friday 18 June 2010 by Karl James. 6 comments
1941 was a year of battle. It was a time of victories and defeat. Australian soldiers, sailors, and airmen fought their first major battles of the Second World War in North Africa and in the Mediterranean. Australian and British troops won a series of early successes in Libya and later in Syria. But they also suffered greatly on mainland Greece and on Crete. When a rapid German offensive swept the British from Libya, all that …

Let's go GMEN...YEAH BABY!

"Nobody panicked. That's what I like about this team. We're an older team and we've got a lot of guys who have been through that. We got a goal right away and our special teams did a heck of a job."
Related quotes
"Neither team panicked. They both played like championship-caliber teams all the way through. ... Everyone's told me that they're so scrappy, and I totally agree."
"In the first half, our guys panicked a little bit. When we got down seven or eight, they tried to make it all back right away instead of slowly bringing it back. In the second half, we did a lot better job."
"I think we panicked a little bit. We told the guys if we were down five or up three, you still had to stick to the game plan and for the most part we did."
"We panicked a little bit after that spurt. We took some shots that were uncharacteristic of our team, and they got some easy ones on the other end."
"We sprayed the ball a lot, but you could tell their guys were never in a panicked situation, where they felt like they really needed to get the out. They looked relaxed."
"I think we panicked a little bit. George Mason is a great team, and with the way they came out shooting the ball tonight, it really put us in a hole and kind of got us on our heels."

The ancient village of Dolcedo is within walking distance with restaurants, shops, bank, chemist etc. The beach is 10 mins drive from Dolcedo, as is the town of Imperia and a large supermarket.
Airports: Nice is technically the nearest airport - just over an hours drive. Genoa (Genova) airport is also very close - 1.5 hours drive. Turin airport is also within easy reach at approximately 2.5 hours drive.
The swimming pool is a salt water pool (only a tenth as salty as the sea!) which generates its own chlorine as needed, hence having a much lower chlorine level than normal pools. On reacting with bacteria the chlorine turns back to salt. The pool is therefore ecologically friendly, and is far better in smell, taste and on the eyes than a normal chlorine pool.

Wonderful place
Had a glorious week at this lovely property, in a beautiful location. The house was really well equipped for our teenage children who loved the pool table and the space in the house. The pool was a big hit and with great views, the local town had some great restaurants all within an easy walk. We found it hard to leave the house much as it was so pleasant but went to a couple of good local beaches. Really good local information supplied. Thank you Rob. A week went by too quickly!
Nicky Connolly & family
Absolutely stunning property
We have just returned from a week at this property, we had an absolutely amazing time and didn't want to leave.
You couldn't ask for more in regards to the facilities. Our little boy who is 2 loved the play area and we all enjoyed use of the infinity swimming pool with beautiful views.
Rob was extremely helpful when we wanted to organise a surprise meal. He arrange for food to be delivered to the property and it was delicious.
We would highly recommend this property and will definitely be returning.
Wonderful Holiday in a Beautiful Setting
We choose Rob and Jane's property to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary with the family. The House is based in a small medieval village with fantastic views across the mountains and to the sea. The property is of the highest quality with an lovely infinity pool, children's play area, games room and packed full of technology. We were met by Silvia who made sure we had a full introduction to the House and all of the local facilities. Rob has also produced a very detailed instruction pack and his advice on best restaurants, bars and beaches is spot on. The village of Dolcedo is a short walk away and has many good restaurants and a lot of historical buildings. The beach at Imperia is just a 10 minute drive away and has some nice bars and sun bed areas. The House has 4 levels and I would suggest it is not really suitable for those with walking difficulties. Overall a fantastic venue for our celebrations for a family group aged between 2 an 62!!!. Highly recommended Mike & Sue Southgate
Great location. Great walking in the hills
A very good location for walks to the hill villages around Imperia and for a short drive to the coast. The terraces of the house, with great views across the valley, and the swimming pool add to the comfort and amenities of this well modernised old stone village house. Highly recommended
A wonderful week at this villa
'We spent a wonderful week at this villa. It is a truly authentic Italian experience, located in a medieval village in a beautiful part of Italy. Inside it has been updated to include all 21st century necessities, Wifi, plasma tv, British channels, computer, and a great games room - my boys particularly loved the space invaders table! The pool is fantastic, with a beautiful view over the olive terraced hills down to the Med. We sampled 3 of the restaurants in the village and were very happy with all of them. We loved the bike ride along the coastal cycle path (it goes all the way to San Remo although we didn't get that far with kids in tow. Would recommend going first thing as car park at the hire place gets busy later). There are lots of day trips, Monte Carlo, Nice, Genoa, and beaches are close by, but we found it difficult to leave the pool and the view! A week wasn't enough and we hope to return. '
Very very well maintained and appointed property up in the hills behind Imperia. An easy drive from Nice.
Nothing at all missing from the house (its a real home) and all needs have been catered for including novel iphone/pad chargers hanging from the TV room walls, wifi and a working Imac.
The TV, Apple TV facility, vintage arcade machine (galaxians top score remains 5400) and pool table are very useful if it rains and for early evening fun.
With 61 steps up from front door to pool you need to be fit, but if you can carry your beer this far then its a good choice for a quiet get away.
Activity and Interests
The property is located in a small rural village called Dolcedo, with views of the Mediterranean Sea through green & silver olive tree lined valleys. There are a selection of excellent local restaurants, a bank and shops. The beach and Imperia town are 10 minutes drive. San remo 20 mins, Montecarlo 45 mins. The nearest airports are Nice and Genoa each are just over an hours drive away. Turin airport is just over 2 hours. There are beautiful mountain walks and drives and the area is very popular with skiers, cyclists and golfers. The food and wine of the region are superb - second to none. Tranquiliy, luxury and perfection with all the required facilities at hand.

IUP will be the host site for the PASSHE Social Equity and Human Resources videoconference training on Tuesday, September 15, 2009.
September's training will be lead by Dr. Rita Drapkin from IUP and her colleague, Malinda Cowles. The program will consist of three hours of training on the Safe Zone program. Safe Zone is a program where members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered, Questioning, and Allied (LGBTQA) community receive support from and work together with supporters, friends, and allies that are readily identified.
This training, presented by two of the founders of IUP's Safe Zone program, will cover some of the following topics: how Safe Zone programs relate to the work of Human Resources and Social Equity, what Safe Zone programs across PASSHE look like, terminology and use of language when dealing with LGBT populations, paradigm of gender and sexuality, resources, and how you can help by receiving training to be recognized as a Safe Zone participant on your campus. The intent of this program is to provide a broad overview of, not only Safe Zone, but also basic GLBTQA issues.

GDP stands for gross domestic product and is the measure of the total economic output of the goods and services of a country. GDP is usually expressed on an annual basis, but is sometimes expressed on a quarterly basis within a year.
Real GDP is equal to the economic output adjusted for the effects of inflation. Nominal GDP is economic output without the inflation adjustment.
Nominal GDP is usually higher than real GDP because inflation is typically a positive number. Nominal GDP is used when comparing different quarters of output within the same year. When comparing the GDP of two or more years, real GDP is used because, by removing the effects of inflation, the comparison of the different years focuses solely on volume.
The year-to-year comparison for real GDP requires what is called a base year. The base year is nothing more than the year to which all the other years are adjusted. Think of it as the "as if" year in that all the other years' GDP must be adjusted as if prices were the same in that year as they were in the base year.
For example, Callowaynia is a small island country that only produces one product, golf balls. Callowaynia's nominal GDP was 70 million for 2012, and 90 million for 2013. $20 million seems like a substantial increase in GDP. But in 2012, the price of a golf ball was $1. In 2013, the price for a golf ball increased to $1.20. Callowaynia's 2012 total output, in units, was 70 million golf balls ($70 million/$1). For 2013 the total output was 75 million golf balls ($90 million/$1.20). If the 2013 nominal GDP was adjusted for inflation so that the total units produced were calculated at the 2012 price of $1 (since 2012 is the base year in this example), then real GDP for 2013 is $75 million (75 million units X $1 per unit). With this adjustment, there is still an increase in GDP, but only $5 million, which is solely attributable to the increase in production from 70 million golf balls to 75 million golf balls.

Portsmouth friends invited to 'Back the Track,' 'Turf the Field'
PORTSMOUTH — Friends of Portsmouth High School can lay claim to bits of the new athletic track and artificial turf playing field.
The opportunity is part of a fund raiser devised by Friends of the PHS Arts and Athletic Complex and the PortsmouthHigh School Athletic Boosters.
Fans (individuals or groups) are invited to "Back the Track" and "Turf the Field," one meter, one years at a time.
PHS Principal Robert Littlefield announced the initiative recently, calling it a fun way to help a worthy cause.
The track and field project, he said, "Will give our students and residents safer surfaces to play and exercise on, as well was maximum playing and practicing time for many different sports, marching band and other activities, including physical education classes."
Participants can purchase one meter of track for $50; two meters for $100, one meter of finish line for $200, and a six meter wide piece of track for $250. All $250 sponsors will be recognized on the website as "Endurance Donors."
Those wishing a piece of the new field may buy a block of turf (five square yards) for $100; a block of turf in the end zone for $200 (be sure to pick your side); and a block at mid-field for $300. All who sponsors at $200 or more will be recognized as "Varsity Donors."
The sponsorship stakes will be mapped out on signs that will be displayed at the athletic complex upon completion of the project.
The groups need to raise an estimated $1.6 million to replace the worn out track and field.
If they can do so in time, they intend to break ground in June of 2013 so that work can be complete in time for the start of school next September.
To participate in Back the Track or Turf the Field, send checks payable to PHS Athletic Boosters (include Arts & Athletic Complex in memo line), P.O.Box 438, Portsmouth, RI 02871, or sponsor online at www.fphsaac.org.

One of the things I see over and over again is the big impact produced by doing small
things. Here are two examples:
Business Example:
I received a delightful email recently from a client in Australia who sells contact lenses.
I have been giving scratchie lotto tickets to every one of my contact lens clients since the start of 2012. I include either a hand written note or a printed letter acknowledging their value as a client and how to reach me should they have a problem.
This week, a client emailed me saying that she is now referring all her friends to me. She takes customer service like mine very seriously. This tells me that people buy experiences and feelings, not just products. I have heard this line before but I truly believe it now. I want more referrals like this. It is far better than advertising. I used to think that this sort of thing took too much time but it is worth it!
My client has discovered is that investing a small amount of time and money to show your clients that you appreciate them pays off when you do it consistently.
Personal Example:
Over the last few months I have been rediscovering the pleasures of cycling as both a fun way to get fit and also spend more time with my wife.
Seventeen days ago I made a dumb mistake and thought it would be okay to pedal down a very steep and winding hill three times faster than was appropriate.
The result was messy as I lost control on a sharp bend and hit a roadside bank at just over 60 kilometres an hour.
I wrote off my bike and did some rather painful damage to my own body at the same time. (3 broken ribs, a fractured scapula, a fractured clavicle and various assorted lacerations and bruises.)
I spent a few days in hospital and was sent home with a huge amount of painkillers and other drugs to help me mend my very sore body.
I should be fully recovered in 6-8 weeks time and I'm very grateful I didn't kill myself or have far more serious injuries coming off a bicycle at that speed.
Now here's the positive part of this story...
A few days later I received a lovely little get-well card in the mail from a couple who had heard about my cycling mishap.
It was handmade and had a fun picture of a bicycle with the words 'ouchy' on it.
The get well card also had a fun little stick figure of a person with the words 'ouch' on various parts of the body and real sticking plasters attached as well.
The best part of all was the note inside the card that read...
"Dear Graham, I hope this finds you feeling better each day. Sorry to hear about your accident. Glad you are here to tell the story. Stick to the ASB Bank matey, leave all
other banks alone. Take Care. Keep smiling. Johnny & Faye."
What I really liked about this card was first of all it was fun. So that cheered me up. Secondly it was from people that I don't actually know that well. I felt really special
that they had taken the time to create this delightful little get well card and send it to me.
I think that in both business and life the small things that we do often have a bigger impact than we think they might have.
So I invite you to do a few small things this week to show the important people in your life that you really do value them. I know they will appreciate it.
"Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things."; Robert Brault

don't mean to get up your wrong side mate but there is nothing wrong with useing the normal airfilter fitting methods,
these whacky ideas your producing don't make any sense to us but if you feel you must do one, by all means go for it
Howcomes this car has no filter?
A air filter down low will hazard the possibility of sucking up water.
No filter will ruin the engine quickly due to the NON FILTRATION of particles which will help wear out the engine.
A air intake pipe that isn't a "RAM AIR" type will pick up heat from the engine bay causing power loss.
And in the picture above can you see the air filter under the bonnet?
have ya got a pic of the engine bay??

There are times when one wonders if members of the Republican party ever took a course in American history. The Supreme Court ruled against several aspects of the Arizona STATE law which violated those of the Federal government. Mitt responded with his usual ignorant take on American history. "I believe that each state has the duty–and the right– to secure our borders and preserve the rule of law, particularly when the federal government has failed to meet its responsibilities."
1. Under the Articles of Confederation each state had the duty and right to secure its borders. Sorry Mitt, but the Articles are no longer the basis of our government.
2. If each state has the right to "secure our borders" then we would have 50 laws governing our borders.
3. Under the Obama administration–four years– TWICE AS MANY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WERE SENT BACK TO MEXICO AS DURING THE EIGHT YEARS OF THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION. So, Mitt, how come you never denounced the Bush administration??

Great article! I have never been one to use a GPS (never have been too far into the absolute wilds to adequately warrant its use) but I have always enjoyed playing with a compass and maps. I volunteer at a Nature Center leading tours around the park for the kids, and a compass/map is by far their favorite tool combination to use! I mean, who doesn't want to find hidden treasure? And is that the TARDIS as the article icon? Good call.

For those traveling or hiking in France, the iPheGeNie app offers caching (saves tiles for 1 month) for all of France (even down to 1/3.25" vector graphics, including street names!) from the Institut Géographique National (IGN) for an annual subscription of $16. Sucks for track recording, but for navigation it'll save you literally thousands over buying packs from ViewRanger and the like. It accesses the same comprehensive geoportail.fr data as ViewRanger.
If you have a connection (no caching), a similar, though clunkier web-based app can be found by directing your mobile to: http://geobar.pureftpd.org
BTW: BPL should put up a wiki resource page for mapping and geo-aware apps, based on this article. This would be especially useful for people traveling abroad, but also for others to keep tabs on this rapidly growing market.Jul 27, 2011 at 9:00 am #1763581

The Maplets app for iOS has different maps than any of the above: they scan free and public domain maps worldwide, most with GPS calibration. For example, you know those nice maps provided at the entrance to the US National Parks? They have scanned them all, and you can download and view them on your iOS device for planning purposes, then use them live when you're there. Many GPS maps, especially USGS topos, don't have accurate trails, but the trail maps available in Maplets are nearly always complete and correct. And not just hiking trail maps: subway maps, zoo maps, university maps, bike trail maps, municipal maps, airport maps, tourist info maps, ski area maps,…over 5000 maps, so far. They scan the complete map, including accompanying information (descriptions, campground details, schedules, etc.) You can also submit your own maps to their database, if what you want isn't already there. The app is $3.99; maps are free.Jul 27, 2011 at 10:09 am #1763609

What's great about navigating with a smartphone is the multi-use nature of it. It is my camera, video camera, mp3 player, GPS unit, audio recorder, reader, unit converter and my watch. It has saved me considerable weight. I am an Android guy, so Backcountry Navigator and Trimble outdoors have been my go-to apps. Both have strengths an weaknesses. I just pull fixes when I need to.
Just be sure to have a real map and compass as they really work great in concert. Limited screen space really limits your long-view line of sight ability. Oh and don't forget to put the phone in airplane mode. I can easily squeeze 4-6 days out of my EVO 4g with light trail use. I travel with two batteries and a home made 3 ounce 1.5w solar set up. I charge one while I use the other. I should do a post on that some day..Jul 27, 2011 at 10:23 am #1763619

[Updated: the screenshot in the article has been updated to show the HIGH-RES map, so this post isn't as relevant. However, the low-res/high-res option remains a useful feature for reducing storage requirements.]
Please note that the screenshot of the Topo Maps app is the LOW-RES map of that area. Topo Maps app allows downloading a quick low-res version, which is useful for road navigation and area overview when zoomed out, but you can also download the high-res map, which has resolution at least as good as the picture shown for the Memory Map app. You can also convert downloaded high-res maps to low-res, to free up memory after you're done hiking in the area while still keeping it around for later reference.Jul 27, 2011 at 11:46 am #1763660

@andrew: Good news regarding "iPhiGeNie, maps of France", their new 3.0 version, released July 11 2011, "Cache no longer expires after one month. It is now purged when the subscription to the map services expires"
This is a good example of the beauty of the iPhone apps, as Ken mentioned, they are steadily improving. I started studying them in February, and the apps I use have been steadily improving.
FWIW, I'm using three apps on a regular basis: Gaia GPS, Topo Maps, Maplets, And there are three special purpose apps I like for limited areas: iPhiGeNie (for France), National Park Maps HD (great Trails Illustrated maps, but only 15 parks parks are included), and Marine Charts (by EarthNC, for high resolution NOAA Marine Charts).

Phone based navigation is limited to cell phone coverage. In many places this is not an issue. In most more remote locations it is. In Alaska for example, there are very few areas in the mountains that have cell coverage. That is why satellite based devices (gps, emergency beacons, and satellite phones) are the way to go.Jul 27, 2011 at 12:58 pm #1763694

Thanks Douglas – I grabbed your supplied photo. Much obliged!Jul 27, 2011 at 1:12 pm #1763702
@john, it's true that the Google Map app that's built into the iPhone is dependent on cell phone coverage. And the same is true of many of the iPhone map/GPS apps.
But all of the apps that Ken mentions in his article allow you to download your gpx/kml files and map content when you still have WIFI (similar to prepping your GPS device when you still have your computer). Cell Phone service is NOT required for the iPhone4 to be viable. I just used an iPhone4 with Gaia for a six week hike in Turkey. All maps and gpx files pre-downloaded. My SIM was disabled, I had no cell or WIFI service and everything was great.

> Phone based navigation is limited to cell phone coverage.
Not true. Many phone apps (or iOS or Android devices) can cache maps, at that point they work in the same manner as traditional GPS units. That is they get a GPS fix (using their built in GPS) and plot that fix on the cached maps. Absolutely no cell phone coverage required.
They can handle importing, creating, and exporting GPS waypoints and tracks, etc.Jul 27, 2011 at 2:02 pm #1763728

This is an insightful article. I would point people to this as well as Steve wrote a great bit about using smart phones for navigation recently http://www.stevenhorner.com/?p=1465
Anything that helps to keep located on a map and on track has its place. People claim they don't get lost or make a navigation mistake. But it happens and in the UK we often walk high in the mist in the hills and moors. Good navigation skills are a must and a GPS of smart phone to me is a sensible addition to navigation.Jul 27, 2011 at 2:45 pm #1763742
Ken has covered information about gps/mapping apps available for the iPhone. There's a second big piece of the puzzle to making the iPhone work well as a tool for backpacking — battery life.
Find more about battery conservation on the iPhone4 in this article about using iPhone as Backpacking GPS/Mapping device..
By following all the steps, the battery life is very viable for 4-5 days of backpacking, even without carrying a supplemental battery.
In summary (read the whole article for details):
1. Make sure you can see your battery level at all times.
2. Tweak all the Settings as per Apple's recommendations.
3. Shut down all extraneous apps.
4. Disable the phone while backpacking.
5. Don't use the Tracking feature on multi-day trips unless you have supplemental battery solution (it's fine to Track on day trips)
6. Be EXTRA cautious about leaving the GPS app in the foreground during sleep.
7. Beware of Auto-Lock.
8. Keep the iPhone warm.
What to expect in the field? On a six week hike in Turkey we used the iPhone 15-30 times per day for 30 seconds to perhaps 4 minutes per use. Our battery drain was between 7% and 20% per day. The SIM was disabled, and we used all of the battery conservation measures listed above. We recharged in shops, and we were never more than 4 days between shops. We only used WIFI (a power hog) in towns where we had access to power.
My intention is to keep that article up to date as we learn new things. For example, I learned details about the Verizon iPhone battery issues from others on the BPL forums, and just added that last week. And I recently learned about Maplets from BPL forums and just added that in the past couple weeks. The world of iPhone apps is changing rapidly, and I'll try to keep up. And soon the iPhone5 will come along and the Battery Conservation stuff may change again.

I have a very specific question regarding your use of "GPS" in Turkey with the cell coverage off.
I have been trying to determine for some time if the iPhone has a satelite based GPS system. The term GPS seems to be used rather loosely. As best as I can tell it does not, in agreement with John's comment. A satellite GPS would require an additional antenna and radio which I have never seen in any diagram of an iPhone. I believe that the iPhone determines a fix based on cell phone towers and perhaps wi-fi stations. I tried to get a fix on the Washington coast using the standard maps program and got nothing. It always works wherever there is cell coverage.
When you were in Turkey did you actually determine your location on the maps using the GPS in the iPhone, a blinking blue dot or something similar, or were you simply able to see and use the maps? I truly want to understand and am confused by this article and your comments. Best regards, JimJul 27, 2011 at 4:55 pm #1763800

If you refer to GPS, then you are referring to the Global Positioning System which is satellite-based. Some portable devices have this capability, and it is based purely on signals from high in the sky.
Some portable devices do not have a GPS antenna or receiver, but they do "cell tower positioning" or "cell phone positioning" which obviously use a working cell phone connection. This is based on terrestrial signals that are not high in the sky.
Some people don't know what capability their portable device has, and they don't care… until, of course, when they get outside cell service with a portable device that needs it.

The iPhone 4 (and I think 3 and 3GS) does indeed use satellite-based GPS. It also uses cell towers to get a quicker fix of where you are when cell towers are available, or if GPS isn't readily available (like indoors). This is called Assisted GPS.Jul 27, 2011 at 5:08 pm #1763808
James asks the same questions that confused me when I started my research. Does the iPhone4 really have a GPS chip. The answer is YES.
In Turkey, we used the SIM PIN feature to lock the SIM, so even if there had been cell coverage, we did not receive it. Others have just removed the SIM card to get the same result (the goal being to prevent the phone from draining the battery searching for a signal). We were far from any WIFI. We absolutely had our location showing on our maps, and we could use it to relocate a lost path when we were just 5 or 10 meters from it in dense brush, or to find hidden buildings when we were in white-out fog conditions.
Part of the confusion may be that the iTouch does NOT have a GPS chip.
The WIFI-only-iPad does NOT have a GPS chip.
The iPhone and the WIFI+3G-iPad DO have GPS chips.
If you're not careful when you talk about iThingies, it is easy to get mixed up about what does what.
As I understand it (hopefully Bob Gross, the BPL GPS expert) will chime in here), the iPhone uses WIFI to accelerate the first location fix. Without a WIFI signal, it takes the iPhone roughly five minutes to establish the first location fix after a full power cycle. However, once our iPhone was powered on, we never turned it off, we just put it to sleep. When awakened from sleep, it takes perhaps 10 seconds to get a new location fix (I haven't timed either one, I'm just giving you my impression).
When I went to the Apple store to buy my iPhone, I told the sales agent that I didn't actually care about the phone, I was just buying it as a GPS device, and the agent assured me that it would not work. Totally confused, as I had read many forum posts about it already, I bought it with the 30-day-return assurance. The first thing I did was remove the SIM card, turn off WIFI, and head out to the baylands where there is no WIFI anyway. It worked just fine. I returned to the Apple Store to tell the Sales Rep about it, and the other reps concurred that the GPS chip works just fine without WIFI or cell, and the one rep was misinformed. I tell this story to illustrate how hard it can be to sort this stuff out.
James, you said " I tried to get a fix on the Washington coast using the standard maps program and got nothing" — I wonder if you were getting a GPS fix just fine, but could not see it because the standard maps program does not store maps for offline use. This is the essence of Ken's article — you need an app that allows you to pre-download the maps for offline use. If you have an iPhone and you're in the US, then invest 8 bucks to buy Topo Maps. If you think it was a waste of $8 send me a PM and I'll buy you a drink! (this offer applies only to James, not to everybody!)
Keep asking questions and I'll do my best help out. AmyL
PS, my understanding is that iPhone3 has a GPS chip but it is not as powerful as iPhone4's GPS chip, but that is rumor I can't substantiate.Jul 27, 2011 at 5:20 pm #1763814

I used both Backcountry Navigator and Gaia on my recent AT hike. I never could get BN to load a track I had but it loaded waypoints fine. Both worked reasonably well but I think I prefer the interface on Gaia.
Battery life on the smartphones is definitely a concern. I ended up purchasing 3 additional batteries for the trip and my Thunderbolt sucked them dry. I only used the GPS occasionally and otherwise kept it in airport mode with all services disabled.
If battery life can be improved the full-featured phones will really be giving standalone GPS units a run for their money.Jul 27, 2011 at 5:33 pm #1763822
I suspect the Android battery drain may have similar issues to iPhone, and wonder about your experience.
With the iPhone, it drains 5% per hour battery if you are in Tracking mode. So Tracking is not viable for multi-day trips unless you have a battery recharge solution. And it drains 1.2% battery capacity per hour (30% per day) searching for a cell signal when one is not present. So it is essential to disable the phone (how-to info). You said you were in Airplane Mode, so that should turn off the phone.
Do you know what your baseline daily drain is, i.e. with all functionality disabled and the device sleeping? It took me many dozens of hours to figure out how to get the baseline battery drain down to 1% per day on the ATT iPhone4. If somebody has done that research for various Android model phones, that info is golden.

We had a lazy day after our 3 days on a bike marathon. We headed to get some coffee and had a read of the Bangkok Post (this paper even contains the Division 1 football results!) We spent over an hour reading the paper and getting endless refills of delicious coffee before going out to explore a bit more of Chiang Mai. By midday we made our way to a place called the Bagel Cafe which does amazing hand rolled hot bagels and smoothies.
We headed back to the guest house and watched a bit of TV and played some cards. We headed out at 7 and met up with Harvey from Mae Sariang who was in Chiang Mai for a day before flying home. We went to get something to eat and then went to a few bars for a few drinks to people watch. Its quite amazing how many Western men there with beautiful Thai girls
Saturday 3rd April
We got up and checked out of our guest house and waited for our 9am pick up to take us to our Cookery Course. It cost us 700 baht with Golden Triangle tours and was with Chiang Mai Kitchen Cooking School. We were picked up and met the rest of our group, 2 Canadians, 2 Irish Girls, 1 American girl and a Danish Girl. We first chose our 6 dishes and made our way to the Local Market where we picked out our ingredients. The market was fabulous selling everything. They had rows and rows of pigs heads, goats heads, live crabs, eyes... then in the vegetable section every herb imaginable. We picked out eggplant (aubergine to us Brits!), mushrooms, bananas, chicken and pork and fish sauce. I went to get some coconut cream and the guy started crackingopen some cocnuts and putting them through a squeezer to get all the cream out
We made our way through the market and back to the car where we headed out of Chiang Mai and into the nearby countryside. We stopped at a little place with a big garden and the Cookery School was in the middle. We went out to the garden and picked our lemongrass and corainder and dug up ginger and spring onions and everything else we needed. We then headed into the kitchen where we made our first dish, Thai chicken and cashew nuts with sticky rice. When we finished cooking it we ate it for lunch.
We then went on to make Thai green Curry Paste, which involves a lot of arm work with a pestle and mortar, and then onto make Thai Green Curry. We left that on the side for later and made spring rolls followed by Tom Yam Koong which is the Shrimp Hot and Sour Soup. We then finished up with a sweet and chilli papya salad and for dessert hot bananas in sweet coconut cream. It was a really good day and by 5pm we were finished with sore arms. We said goodbye to our teachers who left us with the place to ourselves! We had lovely thatched houses to sleep in and a big outddor table dining area and of course the huge kitchen to heat up our food as and when we wanted it. All the food was delicious and we sat eating, chatting, eating, playing cards and eating again in a splendid setting in the middle of the countryside.
Sunday 4th April
We got up and left our little thatched houses and sat and drank coffee at the table in the morning sunshine. We had some leftover banana and cocnut milk for breakfast, some even had their spring rolls
We then headed to the internet and spent a few hours updating Travelpod. We took a walk around the great Sunday markets then decided to treat ourselves to lunch at The Bagel cafe. I had a toasted BLT Bagel and Simon had a crunchy toasted Chicken salad Bagel. We sat on the deck in the shade and demolished our late lunch. We then went to sort out some cash for Laos but found out we couldn't! The Laos kip is pretty worthless and you get 20,000 kip to the pound but you can't actually buy Laos kip outside of Laos and no one exchange place will exchange kip once you have left. Because of this Laos excepts US dollars and Thai Baht and actually prefer that to their own currency. So we changed the last of our Australian dollars into Thai Baht!
We then went to sort out our onward bus up North for tomorrow
Later in the evening we headed to the Sunday markets for a wander round. They were so busy with many more Thais than tourists. We had a couple of spring rolls and a chocolate Rote from the street stalls for dinner and then sat and had a Singha beer while watching the world go buy.
Monday 5th April
We got up and caught a mini bus to take us North where we would be able to cross into Laos. The two Irish girls Merdeth and Francis who were on our cooking course were on the bus too and were planning the same as us. We set off and made our way to Chiang Rai which is smaller than Chiang Mai but becoming very popular with tourists. After Chiang Rai we continued on to Chiang Khong where Laos was clearly visible from across the Mekong River. We would stay here for the rest of the day and the night.
Chiang Khong is just in the Golden Triangle which is 75,000 sq miles spanning Thailand, Burma and Laos. Its called The "Golden" Triangle because of the opium and heroin trade. It is also home to many different types of hill tribes. Chiang Khong is a nice town with a big wide paved footpath which takes you alongside the Mekong River where you can see Huay Xai which is the Laos border town and where we will head tomorrow. It was definately worth us buying our Laos visas in Bangkok as they get more expensive the closer you get and nearly 2 - 3 times more here! We got a really nice room in PJs guest house overlooking the Mekong River and wandered into town to find some malaria tablets as we should be taking them now we are bordering Laso. We found a chemist and they had some for 3 baht a tablet so we got a hundred to do us through Vietnam and Cambodia as well.
We headed back to the guest house where we had a lovely dinner of red curry rice and noodles with chicken with Francis and Merdeth and a girl called Jenny from Bristol and an Ireali guy called Neer. We then all headed out to check out some of Chiang Khongs finest bars!
Tuesday 6th April
We got up early and our guest house took the 6 of us to the banks of the Mekong river where we passed through Thai immigration and got our passports stamped and then we all piled onto a little boat that would take us the short distance across the river to Laos. Once we got there we then went through Laos immigration and had our visas checked and passports stamped and headed to the slow boat ferry (well a wooden little boat with little hard wooden slat seats)! Our tickets would take us to Luang Prabang but tonight we would only have got half way to Pakbeng where we would get off and spend the night.
We got on the boat and found a bench to sit on and wondered if we had made the right choice in choosing the slow boat when a fast boat went passed. It was basically a canoe with a massive outboard motor with 8 people squashed in wearing lifejackets and crash helmets with their rucksacks on their knees and the noise of the outboar reverberated through our ears even though we were about 200 feet away! Apparently it takes two days for the ringing in your ears to stop! Satisfied that this boat wasn't so bad after all we settled in for the ride.
We eventually set off at 10.10 and had a packed lunch from our guest house to eat on the way and 3 bottles of water to get us through the day. The Mekong River is a grand river that travels 2,500 miles from the Tibetan Himalayas then travels through China and Burma before it reached here at Thailand and Laos and thenit carries on through Laos into Cambodia and Vietnam before exiting into the South China Sea.
We travelled down the river waving at the naked children that were bathing and playing in the river always with big smile and waving back. We passed loads of fishermen with their big nets that they were casting out and pulling back in continually. The Laos countryside is very dramatic with lush greenery and huge limestone rocks and cliffs. We would stop occasionally to pick up Laos people and their produce! We ate our lunch and read for hours. We had a 10 min stop at one place where the locals were ready and waiting with Beerlao and fruit and cans of juice. We got to one part of the river which was to shallow for the boat to go through so laden down so we had to all get off the boat and walk about 1km over the hill to let the boat get through with out the weight. We finally arrived in Pakbeng and found a double room for 80 baht (1 pound our cheapest yet!). It was called Monsovan Guest House and was a lovely bamboo house with a very friendly couple who owned it. After showers we met up with Merdeth and Francis and a bunch of others from the boat and headed to an Indian restaurant for dinner. It was the best Indian food and owned and run by a man from Madras.
Everywhere excepts baht and US $ and prices are displayed in a variety of those and kip. Whatever you pay with you get change in kip which can get confusing at first but you soon get used to it. We all had a feed and tried Beerlao for the first time which is very nice and comes in huge bottles for 8000 kip (about 40p). I exchanged a 1000 baht note and was presented with literally a wad of money 260,000 kip, the largest note being 5000!
The exchange rate varies from place to place from around 250 kip to one baht to 270 kip to 1 baht. Its quite weird how fluid the money is. we were all pretty knackered although it was only 9pm so we headed back to Monsovan and sat on the balcony cahtting before getting an early night for much the same tomorrow.

Major Heart Disease Risk Factors
Heart disease risk factors are factors that can contribute to or lead to having heart disease. Heart disease is one of the top killers in the United Stated and in the UK.
You will quickly find though, that these risk factors are controllable. In fact, you are in control to a large extent.
This is because heart disease risk factors all come about as a result of the lifestyle we have chosen to live nowadays. The chances of dying in a car accident are very low, but the chances of having a heart attack in the UK are now 1 in 4.
The statistics are alarming, so much so that heart disease is the number one killer in the UK and in the US.
Heart disease was almost unheard of a 100 years ago. It's such a shame that now, it's one of the most-worrying lifestyle diseases around.
There are also countries where heart disease is almost unheard of still. That shows that in westernized countries where the disease is common, they have come about as a result of unhealthy lifestyle choices. Some like Japan only started to have heart disease when they adopted the westernized diet.
Genes as a Factor?
What about genes being the cause of heart disease?
Forget about genes. Deposits clogging up someone's arteries do not get sent or posted from parents, grandparents or ancestors. They are a direct result of the way the person in question has lived.
What is hereditary, more than anything else, is the lifestyle our parents or grandparents have lived, the sorts of foods they ate, how they cooked or prepared the foods.
Below are some of the major heart disease risk factors…
High blood pressure
High blood pressure is also known as hypertension . High blood pressure is mostly caused by too much salt in the diet. High blood pressure adds more strain onto the heart because the heart needs to pump harder to get blood around the cells. The heart works hard enough already as it is, even without with problems. Anything that might add any kind of extra strain is not wise move.
Being overweight
Being overweight is one of the major causes of high blood pressure. So you can see that some of these risk factors lead to others. It's like a cycle. If you are overweight, it means there's excess body fat in your body. This means that there are more blood vessels than normal in your body, because for every extra pound of fat, there are a whole lot of blood vessels contained. This then makes the heart work harder and adds more strain to the heart.
The by-products of smoking work together to cause the heart to beat faster and work harder. Smoking also causes less oxygen to be available to the heart, causing even more strain.
High cholesterol
The body can produce the cholesterol it needs itself without needing any extra. High cholesterol levels can cause cholesterol and fatty streaks to deposit around your coronary artery walls. More cholesterol encourages plaques to build up around the inside of your coronary arteries. It makes the passage where blood travels through thinner, causing more strain and pressure to build up.
Saturated fat excessive intake
Saturated fat excessive intake causes the body to produce more cholesterol and easily leads to excess cholesterol in the body. A lifestyle of eating foods that are high in saturated fat will contribute more to this.
A sedentary lifestyle
A lifestyle that leaves you little time or no time for physical activity and exercise will increase your chances of having a heart disease. Any kind of exercise that will work your heart is good for you.
Excessive stress
Excessive stress over a period of time is also a heart disease risk factor. Chronic stress is common nowadays because of our lifestyles, and pressures of work, and other day-to-day activities.
Heart disease risk factors that apply to you should be taken seriously. You need to act to reverse them now because tomorrow may be too late.
Simply controlling heart disease risk factors and avoiding them will help you increase your chances of avoiding a stroke or a heart attack. Strokes, heart failures and heart attacks are man-made diseases.
Usually, heart disease risk factors are the same as the risk factors for most of the other lifestyle diseases. You have to make some positive changes in your lifestyle and eating habits to protect yourself against heart disease and the other relates ones. The choice is yours. Today's choices are tomorrow's realities.
The coronary arteries carry blood from the heart to our body cells. Our arteries are very tiny. Very. They're about the size of an eighth of an inch. Yes, that small. See how tiny they are? About the size of a cooked spaghetti. You could say they are fragile. As such they need to be treated with great care.
And it's not that difficult for them to get clogged up with cholesterol or have fatty deposits form on their insides. Take a look at pictures of the arteries as they clog up over time.
While cholesterol or fat are not the only substances that can clog up your arteries, they are the major ones. How quickly the arteries get clogged will depend on the amount of cholesterol in the person's blood; and we all know the source of cholesterol – diet!

Hello, Clarification, is SSI turning down for the supplement because they say you have a pension from CBS? Thanks Tom
Hello again, A couple of possibilities, First check the unclaimed money fund in the state and see if it was turned over to the state for inactivity. Second the IRS should be able to provide you with a copy of any 1099 filed with you Social Security number, check both 1989 and 1990. How much money do you think would be in the account? Can CBS provide you with the company who oversaw the pensions at that time? Thanks Tom

Great lightweight coverage for everyday as I don't like a heavy base. I have very dry skin and it works well to hydrate as well. If I did use it as a primer, it would be a good base layer. Highly recommend.4

Government-managed and -controlled healthcare is not the answer to our spiraling out-of-control medical costs. But if this is not the answer, what is?
A California healthcare department has ruled that all health insurance policies in the state must cover abortion, even if the individual or employer paying for the coverage objects.
The Obama healthcare program is a jobs killer, according to recent studies by three Federal Reserve Banks.
Reports indicate that Robin Williams suffered drastic prescription drug side effects, leading to his suicide.
With a physician shortage already posing a problem for insured Americans, ObamaCare's significantly reduced payments to physicians will only serve to exacerbate that dilemma.
In a new analysis of hundreds of previous studies, scientists from Queen Mary University of London recently concluded that if people between the ages of 50 and 65 were to take a low dose of aspirin daily, they could prevent up to one third of cancers of the bowel, throat, and stomach, and cut the risk of dying in half, in some cases.
With estimates suggesting more than 800 people have died from the ongoing Ebola outbreak sweeping across West Africa, concerns are spreading in the United States about how federal and state authorities would react if — or when — a life-threatening virus such as Ebola begins spreading domestically. The United Nations World Health Organization (WHO) is also making waves with its controversial global preparations.
The plaintiffs in a case challenging ObamaCare's federal-exchange subsidies are asking the Supreme Court to take their case after they lost at the circuit-court level.
A pair of conflicting rulings by two U.S. Circuit Court panels has legal observers predicting a Supreme Court showdown for ObamaCare.
After the Supreme Court's favorable ruling in the Hobby Lobby case, Democrats initially retaliated by announcing plans to circumvent the finding of the high court; however, there are indications that the White House may back down on the ObamaCare contraception mandate.
Two federal courts issued conflicting rulings on whether people who get insurance on the federal exchange are eligible for subsidies.

Overview: In the movie Real Steel, human boxing is replaced by giant robots which can pound on each other without actually risking serious injury to humans — it keeps the split-second calculations, mind games, and fist-pounding strategy while keeping the players safe. Well, for those of us without massive machines to put into the ring, here's the next best thing. Jab: Realtime Boxing is a card game that lets you whale on your opponent without too much actual physical contact.
Ages: 10 and up
Playing Time: 15 minutes
Retail: $19.95
Rating: It's a knockout! While I do have a few gripes about the game, overall it's a lot of fun and I can see myself getting it out whenever I've need a quick, exciting, two-player game.
Who Will Like It? Definitely for fans of fast and furious games. There's some strategy involved, but if you're too slow on the take it doesn't matter how well you can plan. It probably also helps if you (and your fellow gamers) appreciate a bit of trash talking. Even if you're not a fan of real-life boxing (I'm not), you may still enjoy this game.

Dear visitor - firstly, welcome and thank you for visiting the A.C. Audio Online website!
We value your custom and pride ourselves on the customer service we provide to all our customers. As you'll no doubt appreciate, the service we provide comes at a price and consequently we have implemented a minimum order value of £59.99 (including VAT) for all orders placed. Unfortunately, lower value orders are not economically viable due to the administrative costs. Better control of our costs helps to improve our efficiency and allows us to carry on providing the levels of service you've come to expect.
We hope you enjoy your visit and if there is anything you need any assistance with, please don't hesitate to let us know via Live Chat, Email or Phone – we'd love to hear from you.
