text: Cross-border information flows between economies around the Pacific Rim are dramatically increasing in volume as IT businesses globalize their information processing services via the Internet. "Supply and distribution chains are becoming more globally integrated," said Joe Ahladeff, Oracle's Vice President of Global Public Policy, who spoke at the opening session of the First Technical Assistance Seminar on Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPRs) in Canberra, Australia held on 22 23 January. "The Internet has created a global marketplace that drives both price and service competition across regions. Consumers are freed from reliance on local vendors."Due to the importance of protecting personal information and the proliferation of e commerce, the APEC privacy initiative was launched to include the development of the APEC Privacy Framework and seminars to help economies implement privacy law. In their 2006 Annual Statement, APEC Ministers emphasized the need to ensure "responsible and accountable cross border information flows and effective privacy protection without creating unnecessary barriers". They also acknowledged the role that the cross-border rules concept could play in achieving this goal. In their statement, Ministers "encouraged Officials to facilitate this goal by developing and disseminating implementation frameworks such as best practices for cross-border rules". Cross-border privacy rules are a set of rules developed by an organization. The organization then commits to apply these rules to its activities involving transfers of personal information across borders. With the wide range of approaches to privacy frameworks applying to personal information across APEC economies, APEC has decided that facilitating the use of, compliance with and enforcement of CBPRs was a particularly good place to start for implementing the APEC Privacy Framework as it applies to personal information when it moves across borders.Addressing this need, the seminar, organized by the APEC Electronic Commerce Steering Group's Data Privacy Sub-Group, is the most recent step in the development and implementation of the APEC Privacy Framework. Business, government and consumer groups focused on the implementation of cross-border privacy rules as a way of ensuring accountability of information flows to make organizations keep their original privacy promise to the customer. In a number of APEC economies, the privacy promise that an organization makes is backed by data protection regulation. However, the challenge is that while regulation is mainly bound to a domestic jurisdiction and can only 'see' and regulate the information flows in that jurisdiction data processing has become increasingly global. Trust in the protection given to personal information wherever it is processed or used is a central issue with the global integration of information processing. Leading organizations in APEC are seeking ways of giving individuals reason to trust in the simplest and most efficient way possible. Nonetheless, organizations are often forced to bear the burden of compliance overlap or design expensive legal contracts to protect privacy. Unless these issues are addressed, there is a risk of brand damage because of a lack of customer trust and this, in turn, has the potential to retard economic growth in the region. Lisa Thomson, Chief Privacy Officer of National Australia Bank, pointed to the media controversy that is often generated when finance organizations in Australia send information between economies. She believes this is made worse by a lack of public confidence in cross-border privacy protection. Australian Attorney General Phillip Ruddock, who opened the conference, emphasized that implementation of cross-border privacy rules and the APEC Privacy Framework could be used to reduce the accountability gap when personal information flows between domestic jurisdictions. "What makes the APEC Privacy Framework distinctive is the focus on practical implementation of consistent privacy protection within a regional context. A key feature of the framework is the need to maintain accountability in the flow of information among APEC economies and trading partners," said Attorney General Ruddock. "It is vital for businesses to have clear and simple ways of complying with basic principles for the protection of people's personal information" Mr. Ruddock added. Regulators have already begun to take some steps to address cross-border enforcement. A memorandum of understanding has been signed between Australian and New Zealand Privacy Commissioners while Canadian and US regulators have conducted information sharing to aid enforcement. The Asian Trustmark Alliance is also seeking to respond to the challenges presented by cross border information flows.The diverse regulatory approaches of the different APEC economies was one of the major challenges in finding a suitable model. The seminar met this challenge and was successful in developing broad agreement on an implementation model that contained sufficient flexibility to allow for this diversity while being robust enough to be trustworthy. Leading experts in regulatory development from other arenas agreed that the most suitable regulatory model for a pathfinder project in the APEC region would be a 'choice of approach' model to assess the compliance of an organization's cross-border privacy rules with the APEC Privacy Framework."The most effective way of implementing regulation is to work with willing parties to create a norm of civilized practice," said Professor John Braithwaite an expert in responsive regulation from the Australian National University. "Then, gradually expand the scope of regulatory focus to include capacity development, restorative justice, deterrence and finally incapacitation of irrational actors who will not adhere to regulation."Former Auditor General of Australia, Pat Barrett, discussed how to develop a regulatory framework that can achieve public confidence while facilitating business efficiency. This can be achieved by specifying in the regulation appropriate requirements for desired outcomes or desired practices whose delivery can be observed. In other words, regulation can be targeted towards conformance or performance. "Different forms of regulation such as internal governance mechanisms, external audits, and regulator oversight can help to strike the right balance between conformance and performance to achieve public confidence with responsive regulation that encourages business efficiency," said Mr. Barrett. Summing up the seminar's discussion David Loukidelis, Privacy Commissioner for the District of British Columbia in Canada, said "It's important to make a start with a pathfinder project for cross-border privacy rules. Identifying a fixable problem and tackling it begins a process of confidence building."The seminar reached the view that a key feature of the pathfinder regulatory model would be the identification of a designated review entity in each economy. This entity could be either a private assessment firm or a regulator combined with maintaining a process of government sanctioned law enforcement even if only available as a measure of last resort. The model also required a forum for designated review entities to standardize the approach to reviews of organizations wishing to be recognized as having in place CBPRs that complied with the APEC Privacy Framework.Under this model, a list of compliant businesses could be posted on an APEC Privacy Framework website, along with guidance material for stakeholders, including both business and individuals. Such an online 'shopfront' could also help consumers to lodge complaints in the one place. From there complaints would then be distributed to the appropriate economies for investigation and action. Following the seminar, the Data Privacy Sub-Group discussed what it would do to implement this model as projects within a pathfinder framework. The meeting supported the proposal of the seminar group that cross-border privacy rules had to be flexible, credible and enforceable to be implemented in a range of economies. The Data Privacy Sub-Group is developing a framework for implementation of the choice of approach model and conducting further discussion about mechanisms for cross-border enforcement amongst privacy and consumer regulators in the APEC region.The second seminar, to be held in Cairns, Australia in June 2007, will help shape the future compliance regime for personal information that moves between APEC economies.

Then there is the laser. Laser tresses cut has been purchasable now for over ten eld. Significant scientific advances have been ready-made since the clenched fist lasers hit the activity. Today's lasers are more significant and long lasting, next to several delivery clearance to be marketed for "permanent spine reduction". With all the lasers to plump for from, is one laser higher than the others, or does your assessment of optical maser even matter?

Does your prime of optical maser feeling the state-of-the-art ending of your treatment? The short-run answers to these two questions are no and yes. Despite what everybody possibly will report you, no lone optical maser has been clinically established to be the first-rate - here just have not been enough relation trials to set up this. As a result, doctors and clinics be given to boost the virtues of any optical device they purchased or leased. At $70,000 to $125,000 per machine, you can see why they have a unconditional flavour in promoting their singled out machinery.
Yet time in that is not yet a trenchant smash of the "best laser" designation, sure lasers do profession advanced for culture with particular skin tone types and spike flag. There are respective guidelines that are all important in small indefinite amount you make up one's mind which optical device is right for you.

The original guideline is this: the longest the laser's wavelength, the safer it is on darker pigskin and the a smaller amount sideways personal effects. The function for this is that longer distance optical maser get-up-and-go tends to perforate deeper into the pelt. This is particularly important in folks beside tenebrious or brunette pelt. Nd:YAG lasers have the longer distance of general coat pulling out lasers at 1064nm. Nd:YAG lasers include the CoolGlide, the Lyra, and the Athos. Diode Lasers, beside the 2d long distance of prevalent hackle dumping lasers at 810nm, are also nearly new to treat relatives with chromatic to darkening complexions. Thus thermionic vacuum tube lasers are a possible secondary if you cannot breakthrough a md with an Nd:YAG laser in your section. Popular vacuum tube lasers cover the LightSheer, LaserLight, and Apex 800.
Laser Speed and Hair Removal Cost: Cutting the Price of Treatment
The 2d line to living in brain is this: the faster the laser's recurrent event charge per unit (the dash at which it "fires") and the larger its sore proportions (the vastness of facial appearance activated near all optical maser iridescent) the quicker the psychoanalysis. For areas such as the toughness or back, it is wise to accept a optical device that can layer a vast constituency in short and sweet occurrence. Alexandrite lasers approaching the GentleLase have the large musca volitans sizes untaken on the open market at up to 18mm. The GentleLase is maybe the quickest on the souk at sheath vast areas. The Lightsheer vacuum tube is as well reasonably scurrying and represents a corking secondary if you have chromatic or buff pelt. Generally, the quicker the laser, the less your management will cost, so it pays to wish out a sharp optical device once treating life-size areas.
Laser Hair Removal: Treatment of Fine Hairs
Finally, if the quill you deprivation abstracted is chalky or pale in feel (as opposed to desk light in color), you may well breakthrough that it is little aware to laser cure than is thicker or coarser pelt. In this instance, Alexandrite lasers specified as the GentleLase possibly will be your cream of the crop judgment (unless you have tenebrious shell). The GentleLase has been reported to be more than ever utile on good hairs. Nd:YAG lasers are the tiniest important on crumbly hairs, and rectifying valve lasers time of year location middle.
Ultimately, you must determine upon a optical device in interview near an knowledgeable doctor, for they are leaders able to ascertain your microscopic rawhide variety. Since frequent laser hackle cut offices and clinics present liberate consultations and pustule checks, it is normally sapient to get the opinions of two or more doctors formerly choosing a optical device and a rehabilitation representation.
By doing your investigation and determination the exact laser for you, you will oblige secure that your optical device curls extraction feel will be a proud one (and you strength even cut your reimbursement at the said incident).

not a size 2
de olan montgomery
Acerca del libro
I have two nieces, one is a size 2
& everyone always tells her how beautiful she is
& how she must be a model.
Her sister, my other niece,
has taken a back seat &
you guessed it... is not a size 2.
I don't know when this
idea of beauty and being thin
began this hand in hand relationship
but I do know as I thumb through fashion magazines
like Vogue & Bazaar I choke down the harsh reality
of what my nieces go through with
a taste of the reality of this 'skinny beauty'
society we've created.
We are doing a disservice to young
girls everywhere and we don't even
apologize for it. Through fashion magazines,
music videos and pop icons being shaped and
manicured before our own eyes &
society has forced a pencil thin stereotype
on all of our young.
We even promote that being thin
equals being healthy. I ask, at what point
does it become too thin? Too unhealthy?
The same can be said about weight gain, I know.
But somehow looking from the sidelines I
just don't see my 'not a size 2' niece getting
as many benefits, perks, compliments or opportunities.
In fact, this 'double standard' has created a
wedge of discontent and competition
between the two sisters. While one enjoys the spotlight of
attention & the other sits in silence
wondering why the world can
be so unfair.
In this photo book, I choose to prove something
visually to the world at large and my
wonderful nieces...
both originals in their own right.
You DO NOT have to be a size 2 to be beautiful, healthy and wonderful!
OLAN/Artist 2009
BELOW, a personal note that made my day about the book:
"Hi Olan:
Came across your new book on Blurb –
Although I've made peace with the "(it's such a shame) You have such pretty face" comments I've received in my 45 years on this earth… the description you wrote for your book still brought tears to my eyes.
Your nieces – both – are so lucky to have you as their Uncle.

Acerca del creador
I create my paintings from my own photographs. They are a combination of my photos handpainted on canvas. My work has a simple message: see the individual through color and light. by doing so, one's individuality can be more fully understood. It is a visual stimulation to remind people to simply look at one another and see through the layers of a complex personality. In our world today fame and pop stardom are sometimes reduced to "5 seconds of fame". In some respects we can blame (or thank) the mass media for contributing to a jaded social value of "been there, done that". Regardless, my work is an effort to capture an essence within that fleeting context and place it into a perpetual freezeframe. why can't a nano-second last forever? - "Olan's pop art explodes off the canvas like fireworks, both contemplating and celebrating the beauty of the individual." - Jennifer Cattaul for MAR Magazine - July-Aug 2006

Child UTI score 'better than clinical diagnosis'
A new symptoms-based clinical rule is better at predicting children who have a UTI than GPs' clinical judgement, say UK researchers.
The Diagnosis of Urinary Tract infections in Young children (DUTY) study is the largest study looking at the diagnosis of UTIs in children in primary care, with 7,000 children included.
They found that a symptom score including signs and symptoms such as pain when passing, smelly urine and absence of cough could predict whether urine sampling was necessary and was a better predictor of actual infection when compared with clinical diagnosis by GPs. Fever was not found to be predictive of a UTI.
The researchers concluded: 'Our rule can be used to enhance current clinical practice in the identification of young children for non-invasive urine sampling in primary care.
'Fever should not be used to stratify UTI probability, and dipstick testing can be used to improve specificity for empiric antibiotic treatment in this population.'

Dont wimp out on gun-control platform
National Rifle Association president David Keenes comments last week that the NRA sees President Barack Obama as the most anti-gun president in modern times, surely sounds like a joke to anyone honestly assessing the record. Obama hasnt proposed any anti-gun legislation during his first term, and his talk about gun control has been almost non-existent these last four years.
And when he has talked about the matter, it is often not a full-throated push for specific laws to deal with some of the problems but rather an acknowledgement that more can be done and that the country needs a new discussion or an honest and open conversation about firearms.
That call for an open and honest conversation on firearms is part of the draft 2012 Democratic National Convention gun control platform. As weve said before, platforms are mostly the work of party activists and arent binding for the partys standard-bearer. Yet platforms do show a partys values.
For some Democrats, this gun-control platform is falling short. Set for a final vote of delegates this week, the platform is being reamed as being too timid.

1. The idea of having an honest and open conversation about firearms" is reasonable. ...
Unfortunately for those who strongly support gun control it would require "honesty."
For example an honest discussion of another assault weapons ban (which is mentioned in the Democratic platform) would have to admit that rifles that would qualify as assault weapons are basically no different mechanically than common semi-automatic rifles commonly used by hunters and target shooters for decades and are rarely used to commit murder. They are not assault rifles used by military forces in many nations which have the capacity for fully automatic or burst fire. They may look very similar to such weapons but are merely crippled clones.
The side that supports gun control might point out that a semi-automatic rifle with a 20 or 30 round magazine is possibly more deadly in the hands of an experienced shooter than a fully automatic rifle. That is indeed a fair point but rarely mentioned by those who support such a ban.
However "black rifles" are rarely used to commit violence and they are indeed used for target shooting and hunting. Any honest debate should recognize this fact.
Also an honest debate would require that the gun control side should admit that the current level of firearm violence has deceased to levels last seen in the late 60s.
I feel it would be beneficial to better enforce existing firearm laws and to increase penalties for the straw purchase of firearms and the smuggling of such weapons. We could also improve the NICS background check system by requiring states to more timely input data about those who have a criminal record or have been adjudged as having severe mental issues. This is the current law but might require the federal government to provide the necessary funds to the states to accomplish this task.
I also belive that it would be very difficult but possible to require a background check for all sales of firearms including private transactions if the cost was reasonable. This would do far more than merely eliminating the "gun show loophole."
I feel that in order to have a productive discussion on the issue of gun control it is necessary for both sides to stop insulting each other. Secondly both sides have to be willing to compromise. Unfortunately compromise is a lost art in our nation.
We can make headway on reducing gun violence in our nation if both sides work with each other. Sadly I feel that this is unlikely at this time.

2. Other things the author of the article wants:
He wants:
A ban on large quanities of online ammo sales.
Reporting to law enforcement of bulk sales of ammo.
Federal licensing or registration of gun owners.
Not gonna happen. The platform goes too far in appeasing the gun controllers already.

4. You must want Obama to lose
Because in a close race, gun control is a losing proposition for Democrats. There is already a horrible misconception that Democrats are all a bunch of gun grabbers and the only party that will look out for gun owners is the repubs.
There are so many problems with that perception that I won't get into them now.
President Obama needs to focus on jobs, food prices and keeping us out of war in Iran if he wants to win. All gun-control will do is help hand the White House, the House and the Senate over to the repubs.

6. Democracy is a wonderful thing.
The anti 2A people will have to learn that the pro 2A people have an equal voice. Statistics and evidence show that the past laws have not worked and it's time to stop including bogus crap in the party platform. There are important issues to be addressed.

Gastric and Duodenal Mucosal Protein Fractional Synthesis and Growth Factor Expression in Patients with H. pylori-Associated Gastritis Before and After Eradication of the Organism

- 27 Downloads
Our purpose was to study the effect of Helicobacter pylori (HP) on mucosal protein fractionalsynthesis (MPFS) and growth factor expression. 14 C-leucine incorporation, and TGF-α, β-FGF, andEGF-receptor levels were assessed in gastric and duodenal mucosa in 20 patients with HP-associatedgastritis and repeated after treatment of the gastritis, with or without eradication of the organism.At entry, MPFS in the fundus, antrum, and duodenum was 43.1, 38.2, and 28.3%/day, respectively.Following HP eradication, fundal and antral rates fell to 28.1 and 21.4%/day ( P < 0:05), whereasthe duodenum was unchanged. MPFS in the patient subset not eradicated remained similar to entryvalues (35.9, 31.6, and 25.4%/day). Expression of TGF-α, β-FGF, and EGFreceptors was unchanged.Eradication of HP results in reduction of gastric, but not duodenal, MPFS and has no effect on thegrowth factors measured. Increased MPFS associated with HP gastritis may relate to the potentialfor neoplastic transformation.

Legal Aid Agency Gains Claim to Criminal Assets
Recent years have seen the introduction of a number of unpopular new legal aid reforms. However, the most recent reform to be announced has proved rather more popular within the legal industry than any of the recent funding cuts and restrictions of access. Under changes outlined by the Ministry of Justice recently, the Legal Aid Agency would gain power over the assets of convicted criminals in order to recoup legal aid costs associated with providing their defence.
Under the new rules, which must gain parliamentary approval before they come into force, "restrained" assets belonging to those who are convicted of the charges against them. This is designed to offset the cost of providing legal aid to individuals who are, according to the verdict of the court, guilty. Other outstanding defence costs could also be paid by the seizure of such "restrained" assets. Usually, these are profits or items of value gained or believed to be gained as a result criminal activities.
Currently such assets are restrained under 2002's Proceeds of Crime Act. While restrained, the assets cannot be spent, moved or otherwise utilised by the defendant. If the defendant is subsequently convicted, the court may confiscate these assets.
Other considerations would continue to take priority over the reclamation of legal costs, the Ministry of Justice said. First, compensation and confiscation orders benefitting the victims of the crime will be fulfilled. If any assets are left over when the victims have, as far as possible, had their property returned and/or received all compensation due, the Legal Aid Agency will then have a claim to those remaining assets in order to recoup costs.
The move is designed to relieve strain on the legal aid budget by reclaiming a portion of the money spent on defending the guilty. According to the Ministry of Justice, estimates suggest that this could result in savings of up to £2 million in legal aid costs every year.
Chris Grayling, the Justice Secretary, welcomed the move. He said: "For too long people convicted of crimes have avoided paying what they owe. Legal aid is taxpayers' money and we have a duty to make sure it is not being spent on those we believe can afford to pay towards their legal costs."
Grayling also described the changes as a "vital further step in making the legal aid system fair and credible."
If they gain parliamentary approval, these changes could take effect as soon as the 1st of June this year.

Last night it dawned on me… and then I fell into utter confusion again. I joined the police to… wait for it, yes, 'to help people' and I have come to work for the past 27 years on continual shifts and on front line in order to do that, and there is nothing more exciting and satisfying than walking away, looking back and seeing the smile on a previously frightened face. But that seems to be disappearing and without me having noticed it.
The knot is getting tighter
Tanja swings the Astra patrol car into the driveway. "Ah great" she remarks, "The family are here. We can get on with this". She's careful how she opens the drivers door. She doesn't want the family to see her hit their car parked next to her. That would not get them off on the right footing. Tanja's crew mate Jo jumps out of his seat and is already on his way over to a woman in her mid 40's who's standing on the front door step. Her 18 year old daughter is looking bored next to her. It's 9.30 on a cold boxing night, and the first thing Tanja notices is the nervousness on the mother's face.
I realised by now, I was in trouble.
A statement I wrote of a relatively common event that caused me a little concern at the time and one that officers have to face every night somewhere in a village / town / city near you. We simply ask this is not treated as an occupational hazard. I have kept exactly as was the statement I read in court but have disguised the names of those involved.
We need you, but we don't want you
"Where Si, where is he?" I repeated as I screamed the car into the dark car park. A man who'd been sent to prison for 10 years for a horrific assault with a knife on his wife was out again, and he had smashed a glass fish tank over her head this time. She was in a bad way and he was on the run with a 12″ kitchen knife. He's been seen by CCTV entering the car park but it's dark, very dark, and my headlights are scanning across the car park. Adrenalin surges through my veins as Si and I prepare ourselves. I mumble under my breath and Si turns his head towards me. "He's going to fight mate" I said, "He has a lot to get away for."
In the Summertime, when the weather is fine…
What is it which makes policing so different to other occupations? What makes that something which runs through your veins and sends excitement through every pore when it's most unexpected. It's the feeling of wondering into the dark on your own with just your wits and your uniform as your primary protection shield. It's the fact that you are one tiny part of a huge support network that will come rushing to your aid when called for, and that support is something that not only you know, but they out there know.
Continue reading In the Summertime, when the weather is fine…
The world as we know it
Sitting at home contemplating life and the universe, and everything has suddenly come clear to me. I have solved the meaning of life and not a drop of alcohol has been drunk, only copious amounts of coffee from a new machine that kicks out caffeine drinks two to the dozen by means of hateful non recyclable plastic capsules. That's a battle with my conscience I am going to have to tussle with later.
Learn2Live – It certainly isn't boring
The theater is dark, the lights go down and they have little idea what they are in store for. 2000 students, of the age to start driving or just started driving. A few mobile phones are flickering whilst Snapchats are read, and whatsapps are contributed to… and then silence. The projection screen comes up with a short film where some teenagers get into a car and start driving. Statistically a lethal cocktail with inexperienced and confident young people. There's an innocent distraction in the car and it ends up crashing. The scene shows the occupants unconscious with a little blood, but mainly steam from the engine and the music that had been playing in the car is now silenced. The darkness envelopes the car before a scream joins the atmospheric scene. You can feel the panic, and you can then see the blue lights of a police car approaching.
Break a window or stab a police dog? The law says it's the same
Storm is a 3 year old German Shepherd Police dog, who his owner Jim adores. They have spent those 3 hard years nurturing each other through 13 initial weeks hard training and numerous courses and training sessions since. They are always at each others side, can wholeheartedly trust each other, and will gladly put themselves in harms way to protect the other from evil. The bond, is unequivocal.
It's a Saturday afternoon, and Jim is steering his Police Ford Focus Estate through the back streets towards the report of the burglary. It's been called in by a neighbour and it sounds like a good one. A man in his late teens has been seen dropping down from a flat roof at the rear of a rather affluent looking detached house which backs on to some fields. He's been seen running with a small clutch of items towards the hedge of the rear garden when the witness sensibly decides to give up the view in priority for phoning the police.

Spit Hoods / Guards. To use or not to use, that is the question… or is it?
This is a true account…
I'm single crewed coming off the motorway at the end of a late shift. The radio operator says, "You are wanted on channel 181"
I flick across channels sitting at the main Junction 30 of the M5 Motorway and introduce myself to the new operator. "You are wanted at Exeter Custody. They have a situation there where they may need a taser"
I have a glock 9mm and a G36 semi automatic and a baton gun, all safely secured, but I also have Taser and Pepper spray. A little array of delights, each suited for a particular incident which may arise, constantly assessed and re assessed to ensure I choose the correct option in a split second of decision making. I blue light it to custody and press the intercom button. The door immediately opens which highlights their haste. Scanning the monitors the custody Sergeant points to one which has a pink glow to it. "Strange, didn't know you had a chill out room?" I say.
"We don't" he replied, "That's blood. He's poured water all over his cell floor and cut his wrists".
I know the detained person. Very violent and suffering from an extreme mental health issue. This man had been holding a street ransome climbing on to roofs and throwing slate tiles like frisbees for 100's of meters around. He is now lying completely naked in a foetal position against the wall with his back to the centre of the room.
"Slashed his wrists?" I ask? It is clear I am wondering who messed up with this one.
"He managed to smash his toilet and used the sharp edge of the bowl. That's where all the water has come from. We are calling some public order officers in but it's taking time."
My other armed response unit is now with me. We all go down to the cell with a detention officer. "It's hard to tell how bad his cut is with that water and blood, and he's been still for too long for my liking. Guess there's no time to wait!"
I nod to the detention officer and he cracks the door open. I move in immediately finding the floor extremely slippery. My taser packed safely away because of the water. I call out to him, but there's no movement, and no answer. I move closer and see his pale body looking drained of blood. I hasten my step and touch his torso to feel the temperature. His head facing the wall still and still no response. I tug at his side and I feel a smack of something in my face and mouth, no time to react but step back and fall over, he's span around and is fighting. I am grabbing at him to get a grip of him somehow but he's like a wet fish at the bottom of the boat writhing about and he is too slippery, my only hope is to work him towards the door where my colleagues can help me control him. Now we have him outside in the dry corridor, we are constantly fearful of positional asphyxia where we know we will be up for manslaughter, so no weight on his chest or his back, but it is still impossible to control his slippery torso especially when you are thinking not only for the moment but for the inquest further down the road. He had huge strength and was tossing us about like rag dolls, and I was beginning to think we had lost this one.
"Taser, taser, taser" I hear, and we jump back. Simon fires the taser and our fighter is now arched and motionless. I view where the barbs are and realise I can get a cuff on, then the other is safely applied, and now all four of us are panting huge gasps of air.
I can taste the metallic taste of blood in my mouth. My mind goes back to my first encounter with him in the cell and realise he has hit me with a well aimed lump of phlegm. I spit on the ground but I know it's too late. I feel disgusted, especially as I know this man has a lifestyle of drugs and poor health. Still that's for another time. We don't have spit hoods so we have to just ensure his head is turned the other way. An ambulance arrives, his wrists are not too bad. The water has made the blood look more than it actually is. We cover him with a blanket but he's obviously not too shy and kicks it off. Simon gets in to the ambulance with him and later reports that he has been spat at full in the face again. They get to the hospital, and Simon has held the blanket between him and the suspects face. But as the doctor distracts Simon, he feels another blast of well aimed phlegm dripping down off his top lip over his mouth. It's ridiculous.
That man is now dead. He died 18 months later from a drug over dose. I wondered for a while whether I was infected with a disease that would effect the rest of my life and the relationship with my wife and children. Simon did the same, until it happened again 3 months later.
It's a no brainer to me and when people argue that it takes the dignity away from the suspect, then I say more than my dignity was taken that night. I say that we police are feeling like punching bags right now with little judicial, national media or political back up. I fear for the coming generation who have to do it all on much less money and prospects.
I propose, that without Mayor or other Political intervention, spit guards are tried for all Forces as indeed some have them already, especially in Scotland. The Met do not. Not to be placed on every detained person, no cop wants that, but many politicians and public have jumped to the conclusion we do, and that it is some black hood which disorientates the wearer like some Daesh prisoner. Nothing like this at all, they are in fact, a fine mesh which is perfectly breathable and is a hood / guard which is placed over the head to stop any 'further' spitting for those that have previously spat and put on those that threaten or are believed to spit again as in this case.
It's simple, and it's common sense.
A traffic cop gives tickets out right? They also look into the eyes of the dead
A Beautiful Sunday morning in Devon. I'm single crewed with guns in the safe and some traffic and Armed units out and about. We are dual rolled in Devon and Cornwall. Blessed with a lower crime rate than many but just as many fast roads so Traffic and Armed response go hand in hand.
10 o'clock and the scenery is passing much more quickly as I am on my way to a collision between a car and a pedestrian. It's in a car park so can't be too bad surely. My armed response is there. I strain at the radio to hear their tone of voice. Hard as nails when they need to be, but soft as pussy cats when you bring in humanity, real people and families.

Before taking off this morning for North Carolina, President Obama met with the prime minister of the newly freed Libya.
"The president said he looks forward to a close partnership between the United States and Libya going forward," said a White House readout.
The full readout:
This morning President Obama welcomed Libyan Prime Minister Abdurrahim ElKeib to the White House -- the first of several meetings the Prime Minister will hold with U.S. officials this week.
During the meeting the President pledged continued support to the Libyan people and noted the contributions made by American service members and civilians to securing Libya's freedom.
The President applauded the Prime Minister for his leadership during Libya's democratic transition and his government's efforts to rebuild the country.
The President encouraged the Prime Minister to continue plans to hold national elections in June and stressed the importance of transparency and engagement with Libya's newly energized civil society as the government develops accountable institutions.
The leaders also discussed a range of security issues and increased cooperation on border management, weapons security, and regional counterterrorism concerns. The President said he looks forward to a close partnership between the United States and Libya going forward.
