text: 4th Annual ROC City Tattoo Convention: On the Road in Rochester, NY By Jimmy Perlman Unfortunately I don't get to most tattoo conventions anymore. I know and hear about tons of great shows all over the world. Fact is, I work in a field that has me traveling between six and nine months a year so when I'm home from work it would be a real shit move to tell my wife and kid "alright now I know I was gone for a month working but I'm gonna go to this city for the weekend and hang out with some friends, have a good time and get tattooed." Now, fortunately I have a family that understands how important those weekends are to me and that if there is something one of us truly loves and is passionate about, that is relatively safe, we should support each other, "If you need to go, I want you to go." I started really getting into the convention circuit around 1995-1996 and towards the mid-to-late 90s there was already a decent amount of annual national as well as international shows. Shows like The National Tattoo Convention , Ink 'N Iron and Inkslingers Ball sort of paved the way for a convention vibe that had a real friends and family feel, as well as showcasing a blossoming art form. Throughout this period in the mid-to-late 90s there were two shows in particular that everyone in the industry, including me and my peers always tried to get to, and those were the Richmond and Atlanta Tattoo Arts Festivals put on by BIRD and hosted by Billy Eason and Tony Olivas. These conventions were fuckin' killer! They had great tattooers, great hotels, good times and Billy and Tony! Billy was a crazy and mildly frightening old-timer who ran a few shops and had a booming voice, big rings, a fucking cane, white beard... the works. He was awesome! Exactly what anyone who knew some shit thinks of when they think of a classic old school tattoo shop owner, not necessarily a saint but a colorful character. The other partner in crime then was Tony... Tony is a mellow, motorcycle riding good southern shop owner and smokin' black and grey tattoo wizard! I'm not quite sure if the principle reason these two shows were so goddamn great was because these two gentlemen put love, heart and soul into them but that's a good place to start. When I began to talk to some tattooer friends of mine about their spring plans, the word on the streets was a ton of folks in the tattoo community were either going to hang at or going to work the 4th Annual Roc City Tattoo Expo in Rochester, NY put on by Jet, Shane and Love Hate Tattoo. There were enough people I love and wanted to see going that I booked a flight, which just so happened to be two days after getting home from an eight week tour… Ugh! Somehow, I knew this was going to be a show I didn't want to miss, and fuck I was right! What a well-done convention. Jet has over a decade and change doing the tattoo convention thing and four years in on this thing. They have got it down. There is something to be said for invite style conventions, some may look at it as a limiting factor, like if the artist isn't famous enough or bros enough then he/she may not be asked to join, etc. I don't see it that way, I see the weeding out of possible negative elements like scratchers that just happen to want to pay for a booth so they can blast rap-metal try to fuck everything that walks, flash their sick choppers and do shitty tattoos. Jet was also explaining how they didn't want suppliers at the convention so that inks, needles, etc. weren't even in sight or available to the public. I definitely liked that. Something that may be commonplace that I thought was true veteran thinking by those guys too was in the check-in packet every booth received a menu from a great restaurant run by their friends that would deliver your call-in order right to your booth… Genius. (Again, I don't get to these things that much anymore, maybe this is standard now?) This show seemed more like the feeling I remembered from those RVA/ATL shows I mentioned before, and it was great! Tattooers having a blast everyday and even before the weekend started! I got into the Radisson Riverside in downtown Rochester around 10:30 p.m. on Thursday and this hotel was super-hospitable with late-nite food and bar and great attitudes! I knew the weekend was headed in the right direction when I saw Danny Reed, Brian Bruno, Swed and Mike Rennie and they had rented a van to drive from North Carolina to Richmond, VA all the way to upstate NY and had just gotten to the hotel from Niagara Falls! I miss those kind of road trips, and this was the kind of convention you'd road trip with your boys to! The hotel lobby was feeling more like a destination for tattoo travelers, like a Port Authority of trouble makers or almost Woodstock like. Everyone got in early because everyone wanted to be there! Only a few blocks away was The Dinosaur Barbeque that had unbelievable food a great atmosphere, and the balls to handle a three-day onslaught of tattoo conventioneers with big eyes and bigger guts. I think everyone made it there at least once, and the Dino put a few heavy hitters on their backs for sure! By Saturday at 1:00 p.m. the whole place was a bee-hive! Packed! I mean packed! There was a point come 4:00 p.m. everyone was tattooing, really, everyone! I shared a room with Steve Turner who probably sold at least 15 machines over the weekend along with tattooing non-stop. Him, Heath, Megan, and Matty from Hell Bomb Tattoo in Wichita Kansas, great tattooers and a serious tat-shop, had many times when all four were tattooing, it was great! Lots of the usual suspects were killing it all weekend; Justin Shaw, Danny Reed, Henry Rodriguez, Dawn Cooke, Brad Fink, Keet, Chad Soner, Jason Phillips, Greg Christian, Krooked Ken, Bruno, Rennie and Jeremy Swed but I also got to see some unbelievable tattooing by some lesser known to me, but by no means lesser quality tattooers like Clifton Boggs, Ian Dana, Skye James, Marie Sena, Marina Inoue, Ezra Haidet and Tony Derigo, who is a true gentleman, we need more like him in this business! No convention gathering would be complete without the usual partying and or late-nite-ing that always seem to accompany such an event and there was certainly no shortage of that, again let me re-state that this hotel was not only fully tolerant of the shenanigans and attitudes of standard post 3 a.m. tattooers, but casted an understanding. Parent-like eye rolling when the security busted a good-hearted drunken tattooer pissing on the wall in front of the lobby. Hey, it's happened to all of us? Drinks, dice and good vibes filled the after-hours of the Roc City Tattoo Expo site and come Monday morning all in attendance were hiding behind sunglasses on the way to their planes, trains or automobiles… I want to thank Jet, Shane, Love Hate Tattoo, the Radisson Riverside and all of the great people who hung out and worked the expo for a fantastic weekend! This is what tattoo conventions are supposed to feel and run like. Jet, I will be coming back for sure and since this was the first convention I've been to in years where everyone, yes everyone had a blast... I'm sure they all will too. I never heard one complaint from anyone, and during a time when you can go to a convention EVERY weekend that's saying something. Keep it up guys. -Jimmy P Related TAM Blog Article: ROC City Tattoo Expo: On the Road in Rochester, NY

Chan Luu says happiness is key to beautiful jewelry
If you flip through any celebrity style magazine, you'll likely find someone wearing Chan Luu's designs.
The Los Angeles-based jewelry designer has a dedicated following among both celebrities and everyday women, and even men, who snap up her handmade, artsy-feel, wrapped bracelets and other pieces made with hand-cut semi-precious stones, sterling silver, gold vermeil and custom-dyed leather.
Luu, a native of Vietnam, studied business administration at Boston University, then moved to L.A. and earned a degree in fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in 1975.
Shortly after, she opened her own boutique, carrying European designer clothing and accessories for women. In 1996, she began designing her own accessories.
Today, her collection includes jewelry, clothing and a line of cashmere scarves.
Luu, whose jewelry is available in San Antonio at Julian Gold, Kathleen Sommers and Ranch at the Rim and other locations, talked recently about her celebrity following, her cultural-inspired collections and why she hates bridal showers.
Q: How's business?
A: Explosive. It's growing so much. The last three years, we grew through the economic downturn. During the recession, we did our best, the very best. I think I have the right look. My work is authentic, meaning it's handmade, and it's affordable. I'm not the kind of designer that comes out and does crazy things to get a name. I design beautiful things for the women who like to look beautiful.
Q: Describe your style?
A: Everything I do has a strong cultural feel. I travel extensively, and my work has a strong cultural influence. I'm known for using ancient techniques of each country and modernizing it.
Q: Where's your next cultural inspiration coming from?
A: I just came back from Istanbul. I have a collection in the works right now.
Q: Your wrap bracelet is so popular. How did it come about?
A: I saw this man on the streets in India with thread work wrapped around his wrist. He looked cool and spiritual. He said he got it from a temple, and it had been blessed to protect him. That stuck with me. That inspired me to create a bracelet that was both fun and spiritual.
Q: When did celebrities start loving your work?
A: One of my first trends was pieces created with hand-painted seashells.
I sold them to a store in L.A. Brad Pitt saw one and bought it for Jennifer Aniston, when they were a hot couple. She was photographed wearing it sitting between George Clooney and Brad at an Armani fashion show. That put me on the map. Celebrities love my things. Sometimes when I go to an event, I'm almost embarrassed how many people I see wearing my pieces. A lot of stylists go through my L.A. showroom and pick out things for movies, like "The Hunger Games" and "Twilight."
Q: Speaking of celebs, you recently hosted a bridal shower for friend Laurie David (environmental activist who produced the Academy Award-winning "An Inconvenient Truth"). Any great shower ideas?
A: I hate bridal showers. I think they are boring. But I said forget about the rule, this is my friend, but I would do it my way. I did a poetry-themed party with music. There was so much love and affection.
Q: Do your designs have a spiritual element?
A: People say when they put it on one of my bracelets or pieces, it instantly feels personal. It has an affect on people, and I think it is spiritual.
Q: Do you meditate or do yoga?
A: No, I don't like to meditate. I love yoga, but I can't sit still and mediate for an hour. I can go walk my dog or take a hot bath and feel relaxed.
Q: Is your home peaceful?
A: I live in Pacific Palisades, and my home is my sanctuary.
It's very calming and happy. I play one hour on the piano a day. I make sure that two hours before I go to bed I turn off my computer and read French poetry before I go to bed. Anything tech-related that stimulates my brain, I shut it off. And I love to take hot baths. That's how I live my life.
Q: As a designer, does it help to be happy?
A: Definitely. I really believe your happiness is in your own hands. If I'm not happy, I exude nothing but toxic energy around me.
People don't like it, and my jewelry might look nasty. I want my jewelry to be pretty and my customers to love it.
Q: You were recently featured on the Huffington Post about finding balance in life. So, how do you do it?
A: People ask if I ever sleep. I love to have "me" time, and I submit to it. I don't let anyone intrude. I have two dogs - Henri, a Yorkie and Benjy, a Shih Tzu. We have a slumber party every Friday.
That's one of the things I do for me.
Q: A slumber party with your dogs?
A: Yes, they get a bath every Friday. They use my shampoo, and they smell just like me. I love it.

As the cultural and political capital of China for centuries, Beijing has attracted China's most talented chefs, whose regional flairs have in turn influenced the capital's flavors. As a result, Beijing cooking is a northern-inflected melting pot of the glories of Chinese cuisine. While wheat-based products like noodles, dumplings, pancakes and steamed breads prevail, they are given zest with simple but fragrant seasonings such as garlic, Chinese chives, vinegar and soy sauce. Besides, roast duck is also famous. A pancake rolled with crispy roasted skin, moist meat and a wipe of salty-sweet plum sauce is a mouthful of heaven when it's done right.

Confidence is doing what is right for you no matetr how tough it gets, no matetr how harshly other people criticize and sabotage you.I guarantee that many of the people who will say it can't be done or held you back will want a slice of the pie.They didn't earn it, and choose to let their own egos get in the way of understanding and compassion.Support the people who were there for you. Ignore the rest.
Great list.. However you missed one iratmopnt fundamental of confidence.

After a new photo of Ali Lohan set off an Internet storm about her dramatic look, her rep says Lindsay Lohan's younger sister, who was recently signed to a modeling agency, did not go under the knife.
"Aliana has never had any type of plastic surgery in her life, nor has she ever considered it," her rep Steve Honig tells PEOPLE, insisting that the perceived changes in Lohan's face are purely natural.
"Her success as a model lies with her natural looks and she has no interest in changing that," the statement continues. "During the past two years, she has gone through a normal teenage growth spurt that has made her taller and slimmer."
The younger Lohan, 17, has been the subject of chatter after stepping out with a noticeably thinner frame and a more drawn appearance.
Lohan's growth "has also slightly changed the composure of her face, all of which is typical of what happens to kids in their mid to late teens," explains Honig. "It's what most people refer to as the awkward stage. Ali is growing up; that's all."
Her modeling agency rep also denied Lohan had plastic surgery.
"As a young girl who is growing up, it's natural for her facial features to change slightly, and we see this with many of the younger models we represent," says Alexis Borges, agency director of Next Model Management L.A. "Aliana is a beautiful 17 year old girl who is growing into her face and body, as is the norm for someone of her age."
Borges adds: "We take pastoral care of our models very seriously and encourage the models to maintain a healthy lifestyle and body shape."

The waitlist appears to be moving. See LSN. *fingers crossed*
Congrats!!! Had you previously received one of the phone calls from the admissions office gauging your interest?
Got a phone call saying I was in a group for final review, wanted to see if I was interested and had to email Dean Hoyes. The woman said decisions would be made end of week. Is this a procces for people who were accepted? i responded ASAP to the dean. I would be SO happy if I got in - im sort of giddy and unable to focus at work, but i also dont know what it means. any insight is appreciated.

Alberta employers building major energy projects are struggling to fill jobs in the trades, engineering and project management, and face plenty of competition.
Developments in Australia, South America and the Gulf States — many led by Canadian companies — are offering opportunities to Canada's best and brightest engineers, tradespeople and experienced managers with a desire to work elsewhere. They are also attracting the types of skilled people who might have considered working in Alberta, but decided on other provinces or countries.
Here are some of them:

The best thing about the bozo's on the bus thread...
Thanks for digging up my Bozos Thread. I no longer have my original.
For new folks, it was never meant to be an exit thread. Just an attempt to pull off a semi-humorous scam, plus retaliate against JetsBabe, who eventually became my friend on JN. Wish we could get her back here.
EDIT: Technically, my thread happened before there was a Hampur.

Keep in mind this is stuff used in the Hampur, not necessarily made in the Hampur. That's why I included the "My roommate" thread, fer instance.

Luang Prabang is a city located in north central Laos, on the Mekong River about 425 km north of Vientiane, the present capital Laos. Name of the city means literally: Royal Buddha Image (in the Dispelling Fear mudra). Luang Prabang used to be the royal capital and seat of government of the Kingdom of Laos before 1975. This culturally rich city has been declared a Unesco World Heritage Site in 1995.
Wat Xieng Thong is one of the most important of Lao monasteries, definitely the most significant temple in Luang Prabang, a monument to the spirit of religion, royalty and traditional style of a fascinating city. It consists of more than twenty structures on the grounds including shrines, pavilions and residences, in addition to its gardens of various flowers, ornamental shrubs and trees.
Henri Mouhot (May 15, 1826 — November 10, 1861) was a French naturalist and explorer, best known as the person who 'discovered' Angkor Wat. In fact Angkor was never lost — the location and existence of the entire series of sites was always known to the Khmers and had been visited by several westerners since the 16th century. However, it was Mouhot to popularise Angkor in the West. Perhaps none of the previous European visitors wrote as evocatively as Mouhot, who included interesting and detailed sketches.
Uo Moung (Tomo temple) is a ruined 9th-century Khmer temple considered to have been built during the reign of King Yasovarman I. It might be related to Wat Phu, but exact function of the temple is unknown.
Wat Phu (or Vat Phou) is an ancient Khmer temple-complex in southern Laos, declared as a Unesco World Heritage site since 2001. It is located 6 km from the Mekong river, right at the foot of holy mountain Phu Kao (or Lingaparvata). This mountain gained its spiritual importance from the natural linga-shaped rocks on its peak. Local tribes have paid respect to the spirits associated with the sacred mountain since the 5th century. Ancient Khmers associated the mountain with the home of Shiva and the river with represented the ocean or Ganges River.
Tat Kuang Si (sometimes spelled Kuang Xi,) is a scenic spot 30km south of Luang Prabang, a must for all nature-lovers visiting northern Laos. It has got a many-tiered waterfall tumbling over limestone formations into a series of cool, turquoise pools.

If you are concerned that you may have gingivitis, Dr. Grand is an affordable dentist Baton Rouge who will evaluate your gums and teeth to determine the extent of the inflammation. Gingivitis is easy to treat in the initial stage. Plaque is the culprit. It is a sticky, colorless, film of bacteria that forms relentlessly on the gums and teeth. To manage this condition, the patient must floss and brush daily to remove the plaque. If untreated, the plaque forms toxins that inflame the gums.
If treated in the early stages, gingivitis can be reversed because the connective tissue and bone has not been affected. To recognize the progression of gingivitis, Dr. Grand will determine if the gums are swollen, tender, and red as he evaluates the extent of damage. You may notice that your gums bleed after brushing if you are affected. As gingivitis progresses, the gums recede and teeth may become loose or appear elongated. Pockets may form between the gums and the teeth where food particles and plaque hide. Some people may notice that recurring bad breath is a problem or experience a foul and unpleasant taste.
Good oral hygiene is necessary. Professional cleanings are also essential to managing gingivitis to insure that it does not get any worse and progress to periodontal disease. If the plaque is not removed, it hardens and becomes tartar and only can be removed by a dental profession. Regular dental checkups and oral hygiene is of the utmost importance. Do not hesitate to contact Grand Family Dentistry for your dental health.

Eddie Irvine cheated death by fighting off a shark with a spear while taking a swim near his Caribbean home, according to a report in The Sun.
Irvine reportedly went for a night time dive in the Bahamas when the attack took place, but the 48-year-old managed to drive the shark away. The former Ferrari, Jordan and Jaguar driver is believed to have been unhurt in the incident.
"I turned to face it - not easy to do - and hit it with my spear. It turned away but came back as I reversed out of his territory," The Sun quotes Irvine as saying on social media.
"It was dusk - so I guess I deserved it a bit."
The shark attack rounds off a month which has already seen him sentenced to six months in jail for a brawl in a Milan nightclub.

The Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) is a powerful tool that allows you to create a customised version of Internet Explorer 10 (IE10). And so if you're about to deploy the browser across a network, say, then you won't have to manually tweak the program post-installation to get the results you need. The IEAK will allow you to customise many default aspects of IE10 to better suit your needs.
And so, for example, you're able to change all kinds of details in your personal version of the browser: title bar text, toolbar buttons, search engine providers, accelerators and more.
The IEAK also allows you to change several default settings. You can have your version of IE10 use Google (or whatever else you prefer) as its home page, for instance. You might also disable "Suggested Sites", have Compatibility View turned on or customise your browser user agent, amongst other options.
And perhaps most powerfully of all, you're able to add up to 10 components to install with Internet Explorer 9, allowing you to equip your PC with a full set of internet tools via a single installation process.
All these options are chosen via a simple wizard, and once you're done the IEAK will even build the custom installation package for you at a click.
Please note, the IEAK has a complex licence system that defines exactly what sort of customisations different types of users are allowed to make. If you're a home user who wants a custom IE10 for your own network, no-one's going to mind very much what you do, but if you're a business, or you intend to distribute your custom build then the position is more complicated. Check the Licensing Guidelines on Microsoft's site for more information.
The Internet Explorer Administration Kit provides a surprisingly easy way to customise IE10's default settings to suit your needs

Performances of the Year: Mirinda Carfrae
Mirinda Carfrae's record-setting day put her in the Kona history books.
Ever since she soared to the victory on that overcast Saturday in Kona, the triathlon world has been rife with superlatives about Mirinda Carfrae. All the laudatory articles, photoshoots and tweets, however, have only gestured at Rinny's remarkable performance at the IRONMAN World Championship this year. (Read our recap piece of the women's race.)
2013 didn't start out well for the IRONMAN 2010 World Champion, who was not able to defend her title (but still managed to podium) in 2011 and 2012. She started out the year with a bike crash at IRONMAN 70.3 San Juan, and a somewhat disappointing eighth-place finish in Oceanside. Carfrae was relatively quiet through the rest of the season, stealing a few podium spots and wining the Muskoka 70.3, as expected. A few coaching flip-flops landed her back in the arms of her former coach Siri Lindley, who she'd parted ways with in 2012, in July.
Though she came into Kona as a favorite, her performance on the day obliterated expectations. As the day unfolded, she managed to undo the damage from a middle-of-the-road 58:50 swim, using an improved bike (4:58:18) to bring herself three minutes closer to the front. But it was the Australian's run that has put her solidly in the Kona history books: a 2:50:35 marathon that broke her own Kona run record by 1:34, and came in at the third fastest overall (yes, that means men too). Rinny's perfectly-executed run was also 43 seconds faster than men's winner, Frederik Van Lierde. Rinny's performance in Kona should not only win her "Comeback Kid of the Year," it puts her in the upper echelon of triathletes 8:52:14, beating Chrissie Wellington's record by 1:48.
Carfrae at a Glance:
-From Brisbane, Australia
-Age: 32
-First woman ever to break 9 hours at Kona three times.
-Has placed in the top three in Kona every single year she's started (2009-2013)
-Very recently married fellow pro, Tim O'Donnell
-Follow her on Twitter at @MirindaCarfrae

Many residents in Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes live in communities that don't have readily access to nutritious food, a new interactive map developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture shows.
Many residents in Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes live in communities that don't have readily access to nutritious food, a new interactive map developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture shows.
The map examines which areas in Terrebonne and Lafourche are "food deserts" — places with many residents without access to a vehicle and who do not live within a mile of a grocery store.
Some of the largest numbers of residents with food access issues live in Thibodaux and Houma. In parts of west Houma between La. 24 and La. 311, 22 percent of households, or about 480 of 2,147 households, lacked access to nutritious foods. In parts of Thibodaux and Chackbay west of Canal Boulevard and south of La. 308, about 17 percent of residents, or 397 out of 2,278 households lacked food access.
While both of these communities have multiple grocery stores, these residents lacked transportation and didn't live within walking distance of a grocery store.
Ensuring all residents have access to nutritious foods is a growing concern for nutritionists and health experts, said LSU AgCenter nutritionist Debbie Melvin. When health experts talk about food access, they're mainly referring to whether people can conveniently and affordably buy fresh foods, including fruits and vegetables, instead of the processed foods available at most convenience stores and or dollar stores.
"Fruits and vegetables are a key part of healthy diet, but Americans on average do not eat enough of them," said Diego Rose, professor and head of the nutrition section at the Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. "Households with difficult access to grocery stores tend to eat even fewer healthy foods, like fresh fruits and vegetables. This is because it costs more for these households to go shopping, both in time and in out-of-pocket transportation costs."
Fresh fruits and vegetables don't last as long as canned and processed foods and need to be replenished more frequently, Rose added. If you live far away from a store, you're less likely to resupply these foods, so you eat less of them.
In addition, stores like convenience stores or dollar stores are less likely to stock perishable foods because they will spoil if they're not purchased.
Rose said the issue is of particular concern for low-income households that spend a larger share of their money on food and are particularly affected by high prices.
While there may be more stores in cities, people often lack access to a car. If they're on the other side of town, it becomes more difficult and more costly to go food shopping. Even where there is public transportation, there are only so many groceries a person can carry if walking or taking the bus.
That means people shop less frequently, so they consume less fresh fruits and vegetables.
"In a way, it's basic demand theory," he said. "If the price is too high for something, people will buy less of it. Difficult access to food stores tacks on extra dollars to the grocery bill, so overall purchases are reduced."
Many residents of rural bayou communities said they lack access to grocery stores. As residents have migrated north to escape flooding and high insurance premiums, many businesses in those communities have pulled up roots, and residents now have to take long drives into larger cities such as Houma to shop.
Layla O'Brien, 33, a Bayou Black resident, said her area only has a few convenience stores that sell food.
"Jean's Country Store closed years ago," she said. "There isn't even a dollar store or Family Dollar."
She added that while Houma has a variety of grocery stores, it needs something like the health chain Whole Foods, which carries a variety of organic food brands. Local stores carry some organic foods, but they are pricey, she said.
Dulac resident Barbara Blankenship said there are no grocery stores in her community that carry fresh fruits, vegetables and meat.
"At least Family Dollar has milk and bread and a few other necessary items that you do not have to go into Houma for," she said.
When people consume more processed foods, Melvin said, they're often filling up on things that are less nutritious and filling. "Junk carbs" don't fill them up and leave them consuming more.
"It doesn't provide the feeling of fullness, and it snowballs from there," she said. "That's where we get the paradox of obesity in some of these low-income communities. It's where there are many cheap, low-nutrition foods being consumed."
Melvin said the solutions to food access issues are complicated because grocery stores are businesses.
But it can be helped by something as simple as promoting home or community gardening, teaching people to grow their own vegetables and fruits, she said.
Experts also recommend looking at transportation infrastructure, promoting supermarket development and encouraging existing stores to carry more diverse and healthy food options.

After completion of your first year which is common to all Policing Suite students, you will maintain some 'Core Police/Policing' input. However, in your second and third years you will focus upon modules relating to BSc (Hons) Policing (Cybersecurity). This will normally mean that you can take two or three designated modules to study in years two and three.
Flexibility is a key aspect of the Policing Suite. You will have the ability to move to a different named award at various key 'review points' throughout your studies.
Having registered on BSc (Hons) Policing (Cybersecurity) in the Policing Suite and completed the common first year, you will have the opportunity to:
The University is experienced in developing partnerships and bespoke policing degrees with international police educators.
Policing continues to grow as an important, attractive, relevant and vibrant domain for study at undergraduate and postgraduate level in British universities. As evidence of this, we have been involved in the provision of policing degree programmes for over twenty years.
"The School of Law, Criminal Justice and Computing at Canterbury Christ Church University is a truly outstanding academic institution that combines a theoretical examination of the policing environment with practical experience to provide students with a unique insight into this ever-changing field."
Sc (Hons) Policing (Cybersecurity) will provide you with an academic and vocational understanding of policing and also serves as an introduction to a career with the police. BSc (Hons) Policing (Cybersecurity) draws upon a number of disciplinary strands ranging from criminology, law, politics, psychology, forensics, sociology and philosophy. A key feature is to provide you with flexibility and choice in deciding the detail of your programme of study, with opportunities to change from your original programme of choice to a different named award within the Policing Suite.
BSc (Hons) Policing (Cybersecurity) will appeal to you if you are interested in joining the police as a warranted officer, but also if you are keen on other policing careers. Increasingly policing is performed by many organisations, and police services likewise employ a significant number of non-warranted employees (this will typically amount to 30-40% of a police service's overall workforce).
Similarly, if you wish to develop specialist knowledge in closely related/interdependent fields to policing – crime and policing research, criminal psychology, police governance (Police and Crime Commissioners), civil emergencies/contingencies – then this will be on offer too and will equip you for pursuing careers in wider fields particularly in the criminal justice sector.
"The course is ideal for anyone aiming for a career within the police service as well as those looking to go into other roles within the law enforcement and security sector. The course material provides students with all the necessary knowledge as well as the necessary skills for the practical application of it within a working environment. The staff themselves have a vast knowledge from their own careers within policing, allowing them to provide invaluable guidance to the students."
The programme will emphasise the diversity of the police role by drawing upon a variety of contexts in which policing is discussed. This will include debates concerning moves to foster a commitment to interagency work, the legal and ethical parameters and duties involved, criminological theories, the application of rational and scientific methods and the development of policing skills.
The attributes and qualities associated with policing are highly valued and sought after in many areas of professional life. Many other possible career opportunities follow from graduating with BSc (Hons) Policing (Cybersecurity). These include the civil service, local government, the courts, the Prison Service, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary, National Offender Management Service, charitable and voluntary organisations working in the criminal justice sector, community safety organisations, National Crime Agency, the security service, Border Force and the private sector security industry.
We also believe BSc (Hons) Policing (Cybersecurity) will arm you as a graduate with learning in new and emerging crime and policing trends such as international (borderless) crime, evidence-based policing, and crime science and so on. Such knowledge will undoubtedly become increasingly valuable in financial, commercial and technological employment environments.
A key feature of the Policing Suite in general is to provide you a level of flexibility and choice in deciding the detail of your programme of study with opportunities to change from your original programme of choice to a different named award within the Policing Suite.
To provide practical experience, you will be encouraged to become a volunteer within the criminal justice system as part of your studies. For instance, you may decide to volunteer in a local police organisation as a special constable, in victim support or with the rehabilitation of offenders within the community.
Blackstone's Handbook for Policing Students, now in its eleventh edition, is published by Oxford University Press. The writing team, led by Professor Robin Bryant, are all from the School of Law, Criminal Justice and Computing. The book has been used by the majority of police services in England and Wales as the core text for new recruits into the police service and it is a key reading for students on pre-service policing programmes in universities across the country.
Contributors from the School include Dr Sofia Graca, Kevin Lawton-Barrett, Dr Martin O'Neill, Dr Steve Tong, Bob Underwood and Dr Dominic Wood. The Handbook reflects the multitude of avenues into policing now open to future police officers, from pre-join courses to progression from serving as a special constable or working as a Police Community Support Officer and covers the major requirements of the revised Certificate in Knowledge of Policing, as well as the IPLDP Diploma in Policing.
Previously, the School has offered study visits for policing students. These trips have included riot training with Kent Police, study visits to the Police Service of Northern Ireland and the Police Service of The Netherlands. These trips are aimed at providing students with a professional insight into different policing organisations within the UK and in Europe and are subject to availability.
The external examiner system is the principal external means, on a continuous basis, for assuring the maintenance of quality, academic standards and comparability across the higher education sector. The contribution of the external examiners is integral to procedures for monitoring and maintaining academic standards. The Policing Suite is proud to have the Chief Constable of Sussex, Giles York QPM, as one of its external examiners.
The aim of the module is to illustrate the basic concepts and principles of police accountability, performance measurement and legitimacy. It will explore the challenges of policing transnational organised crime as well as those more locally associated with maintaining the careful balance between the need to keep order during public protest and retaining basic rights of freedom of speech and assembly. The module will examine the use of criminal intelligence methods and intelligence databases to support the prevention and detection of crime as well as considering management strategies, leadership and human resource management. The module will illustrate the disparaging effects of police corruption and the need for strategies to maintain the highest ethical standards in police work.
The aim of the module is to provide you with the opportunity to develop knowledge and understanding of the basic concepts and principles of existing scientific approaches and broader techniques in the prevention, investigation and detection of crime. The module will explore ways in which the nature of crime can be informed by science and police investigative approaches. It will investigate how science can support detection and contribute towards crime prevention and it will also consider how scientific methods are applied to crime reduction.
The aim of the module is to provide you with the opportunity to develop knowledge and understanding of the basic concepts and principles relating to the police role, within legal, political and social contexts. It also aims to present you with an understanding of the various organisational forms that policing takes within the extended police family, different functions and models of policing, and the legitimacy of police use of powers in different policing contexts.
The aim of the module is to provide you with the opportunity to develop knowledge and understanding of the basic concepts and principles relative to policing and the criminal justice system in England and Wales. The module is designed to enable you to gain an understanding of the position and role of the police in the wider context of criminal investigation and offender management and to explore the organisations which form the criminal justice system in the United Kingdom.
The aim of the module is to provide you with the opportunity to develop knowledge and understanding of basic police practices, policies and procedures in England and Wales. It is the first of three modules which embed within them components enabling the student to attain the Certificate in Knowledge of Policing (CKP). The module will focus on legislation and those aspects of the law that are more commonly used by the police, such as the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE) and more generally explore legal procedures. The module will consider the classification of some offences within law and the defences attached to particular offences. Fundamental aspects of a police officer's duty will be introduced, such as evidence gathering, search, arrest and detention.
In Year 1 you will have an option of studying a Language as part of your degree, or a module Crime and Disorder in Context, which examines the key principles and concepts underpinning crime and its causes., as well as the central theories and methodologies encountered within the social sciences, and criminology in particular.
The aim of the module is to provide you with the opportunity to develop knowledge and understanding of cyber security and the increasing important requirement for global business and modern society to protect digital assets and activities in cyber space. Information technology and associated communications' networks and services pervade our everyday lives. The challenge to understand cyber risk and deliver effective and accessible security becomes harder as technology continues to rapidly evolve and our systems become ever more complex. Consequently, the module will explore the threats faced by individuals and organisations; the extent of cybercriminal activities and the techniques and skills required to meet the challenge of cybercrime.
The overall aim of the module is to develop an understanding of neighbourhood and community policing. By examining the key features of each and considering arguments for and against the adoption of these models of policing. The module aims to develop your awareness of the qualities required of a professional neighbourhood police officer. The module also aims to develop your ability to identify professional and academic literature related to neighbourhood and community policing and to engage with issues related to this area of study in an independent and autonomous manner. This module embeds a volunteering element, allowing you to gain valuable experience of working within relevant criminal justice or third sector organisations.
The main aims of the module are to develop your knowledge and understanding of police investigations in the UK and the law underpinning these investigations. The module requires you to become acquainted with the history, structure and function of investigative work in the UK as well as concepts and procedures and current practices relating to police investigations of volume, series and major crimes. In addition you will acquire a knowledge and understanding of the current law in relation to police investigative powers, safeguards for suspects, and selected criminal offences.
This module aims to provide you with the key concepts and theories underpinning forensic investigation in preparation for later modules. The module first critically examines Locard's theory on transfer and Kirk's assertions regarding uniqueness and, hence, individualisation. It then explores the principles associated with each stage of a forensic investigation, including crime scene investigation, forensic laboratory analysis and presentation of evidence and identifies the role of forensic professions in answering investigative questions. The theories are then applied to the main categories of forensic evidence and issues such as the nature of science, the analysis of arguments and inductive and deductive reasoning are addressed. These themes are further developed during the remainder of the programme
The main aims of the module are to develop your knowledge and understanding of evidential issues and how these relate to police investigations in the UK. The module requires students to become acquainted with legislation and current case law. In addition you will acquire a knowledge and understanding of the legal process both pre and post-trial.
The module aims to develop decision making and psychological theory understandings in policing by consideration of non-technical skills which are underpinned by empirical evidence and science. Theoretical principles to be addressed in the module are decision making models, situational awareness, personal and collective decision making, leadership and team functioning, environmental constraints and stressors. The module will consider the application of critical incident understanding in different contexts practically, e.g., murder investigation, road death, arson, safeguarding children, missing persons and fire-arms use. Learning in safe place, and in the absence of practical error, is the theme of the module.
The aim of the module is to provide you with the opportunity to further develop your knowledge and understanding of the nature and scope of cybersecurity in the UK and in particular to gain a comprehensive understanding of how the Police Service deals with the challenges they have to face. It is expected that you will have completed and passed the introductory module – Frontiers of New Criminality: Cybersecurity in 21st Century. There is a rapid growth in the UK of criminal justice agencies staffing cybercrime units and investigators. The module will examine policing the internet, cyber surveillance, privacy, crime control, and will also explore victimisation of individuals online through cyberstalking, child pornography and hate crimes. The module will also examine more practical applications such as executing a 'sting' operation and search warrants for digital evidence.
The aim of the module is to provide you with the opportunity to further develop their knowledge and understanding of the nature and scope of cybersecurity in the UK and the world and in particular to gain a comprehensive understanding of how the Police Service and investigators deal with the challenges they face. It is expected that you will have completed and passed the introductory module– Frontiers of New Criminality: Cybersecurity in 21st Century. Computers have become an integral part of the daily lives of many people around the world. The module will explore the pluralised and privatised nature of policing the internet as well as the globalisation of cybercrime and cyber terrorism. The module will examine the challenges faced, the rapid global developments and the future of high technology crime.
The aim of the Individual Study module is to develop your ability to research and analyse policing in some depth, and construct a wellreasoned argument based on your findings. In so doing the course aims to provide you with a degree of autonomy in your learning by allowing an opportunity to pursue in some depth, a study of a topic aligned to policing.
For your final core module, you are asked to choose one of the below.
This module aims to provide the rationale behind police reform in the United Kingdom. It will critically examine the recent changes that have occurred in both Northern Ireland and Scotland. The module will review calls on the UK police service to respond to the dual challenge of increasing governmental/public demands for improvements in police efficiency and effectiveness in the context of decreasing real time increases in financial resources.
The aim of the module is to provide you with the opportunity to develop knowledge and understanding of police practices, policies and procedures in England and Wales. It is the third of three modules, which embed within them components enabling the student to attain the Certificate in Knowledge of Policing (CKP). This module will focus on legislation and relevant policing practices and policies relating to Personal and Public safety, Planned and Emergency police procedures and gathering and handling of police Intelligence and information, it will include an exploration of Counter Terrorism, the principles Critical Incident management and Management of Police Information (MoPI). Fundamental aspects of policing skills in relation to these aspects of Policing will be explored.
A crime scene is any place, person or object that may be subject to a criminal investigation. Therefore, effective handling of crime scenes is essential in ensuring that the police are able to access evidence which may potentially prove or disprove the involvement of a suspect in a criminal offence and intelligence which might provide support for the investigation. This module chiefly aims to develop a clear understanding of the crime scene processing by providing theory on the role and processes of the crime scene and exploring the potential of the various types of evidence that may be encountered. The module also enables you to develop the practical skills required to function as a crime scene investigator, demonstrating the difference between the investigation of volume crime and serious crime scenes.
The aim of the module is to provide students with an understanding and knowledge of how crime theories (from sociological, psychological and criminological perspectives) interact with and influence modern day police practice and crime control methods. The module will enable students to consider the application of science and theory to a police context and some of the wider societal and political issues which may have influenced this at particular points in history. The module will touch on how policing has become more managed as a business, including considerations of value for money, correct resource deployment and performance management.
This module critically examines the police investigation of major crimes, particularly in the form of homicide. It brings together your knowledge of policing and general crime investigation and develops your ability to critically analyse all aspects of major crime investigative practice. Drawing upon published research and high profile miscarriages of justice, as well as current and newsworthy major crime investigations, you will be required to understand the processes, procedures and rationale that sit behind such important police investigations. There will also be critical discussion of how this process can be sustained in the austerity paradigm, and the ongoing considerations regarding privatisation of certain police functions.
This module aims to give you an understanding of the emerging arena of critical incident management in policing, with a focus in application to the policing of terrorism in the UK. Critical incident management has a broad definition and wide application in practice. The module will consider diverse case studies which examine in practice issues of decision making processes in controversial police decision making in policing, and capture the critical instance learning points from these instances. The course will consider policing terrorism in contemporary society, history, philosophy, morals and ethics, decision making and balancing priorities and audiences. The multi-faceted dynamics surrounding, human rights, models of policing terrorism (intelligence, community etc.), CONTEST, radicalisation and the law will come together, offering a focused examination of theory and practice in policing the problem of terrorism and political violence in the UK.
BSc (Hons) Policing (Cybersecurity) has been designed to prepare you for a policing career which is becoming ever more specialist. Private policing is expanding and public policing is going through a dynamic professionalisation process. BSc (Hons) Policing (Cybersecurity) offers a comprehensive response to all three developments.
New exciting careers are emerging in wider policing and security fields too and in addition, the evolving specialist requirements of policing and private policing sector interests. For example, tackling cybercrime, fraud. Our qualifications will be of assistance in pursuing a specialist police staff role (as opposed to be being a police officer) and also joining national police organisations such as the National Crime Agency. Importantly too, BSc (Hons) Policing (Cybersecurity) will also prepare you for other justice-related public sector employment including the Border Force, UK Visas and Immigration, prisons, the civil service, offender rehabilitation and the armed forces.

BSc (Hons) Policing (Cybersecurity) includes a wide range of approaches to learning and teaching and assessment. Teaching will largely comprise lectures, group tutorials, workshops and seminars; some of these will exploit multimedia and e-learnings, for example online discussion boards. You will study in a supportive and participative environment. Guidance will be provided on reading materials and other sources of learning.
Case studies and similar exercises will be used to apply knowledge. BSc (Hons) Policing (Cybersecurity) will address widening participation through embracing the diverse academic and professional needs of a wide range of students. Teaching strategies will also recognise the needs of students with learning difficulties and disabilities by encouraging flexible approaches and providing additional support both from the School and the wider University. The first year experience for students is regarded as crucial and will be enhanced to provide additional study support in order to improve retention and encourage enthusiasm for the remaining years ahead.
The Policing team comprises academics who have been leading the development of policing degrees for the past 20 years and academic practitioners from a number of policing organisations, with over 250 years of collective policing experience between them.
The School has been offering academic policing programmes since 1996 and is recognised nationally and internationally as an early and long-standing provider of policing degrees. From this collective academic and professional experience the team has developed publications that have formed the basis of professional and academic policing programmes.
The Policing team also draws upon the expertise of colleagues from other parts of the School specialising in cybercrime, forensic investigation, criminology, criminal & forensic psychology and law. The School boasts around 60 academics in total ranging from professorial through to professionally-oriented university instructors.
"The courses are staffed by highly experienced, knowledgeable and passionate lecturers who take a real pride in the subject they are teaching, as well as the intellectual development of their students."
We are aware that student recruitment across the nine named awards is likely to be uneven, and to that end reserve the right not to run an award if it is clear that enrolled student numbers are so low as to make the process unviable. Were this to be the case we would seek to inform any potential or existing BSc (Hons) Policing (Cybersecurity) students of this situation at the earliest possible stage so they could choose an alternative path. The Personal Academic Tutor system would play a role here for students already enrolled on BSc (Hons) Policing (Cybersecurity).
Achievement of the Certificate in Knowledge of Policing (CKP) will help prepare those seeking recruitment to the police service as a police constable in England or Wales. The qualification is also relevant to other related roles within the criminal justice sector. The certificate is an important element of the professional entry into Policing Pre-Join Strategy, and accredits the knowledge and understanding which also forms part of the Diploma in Policing qualification.
The Diploma in Policing is the minimum mandatory qualification which regular police constables are required to achieve to be confirmed in rank and forms part of the Initial Police Learning and Development Programme (IPLDP). All those who achieve the CKP through a provider approved by the College of Policing will be able to submit this as evidence of the knowledge component of the Diploma.
All awarding organisations offering the Diploma in Policing recognise and accept the relationship between the CKP and Diploma in Policing. Successful achievement of the CKP does not in itself provide any guarantee of recruitment as a trainee police constable. Each police force within England and Wales sets out its own recruitment process and selection policy and entry requirements vary from force to force. Prospective students are therefore strongly advised to check the specific requirements of their chosen force prior to undertaking study. It should be noted that all candidates need to pass medical and fitness tests as well as background and security checks and undertake a series of assessments, tests and an interview at a Police SEARCH® assessment centre.
Students enrolling on BSc (Hons) Policing (Cybersecurity) with the intention of joining the police service on graduation are strongly encouraged to consider the police entry requirements (e.g. security vetting, health and fitness) before applying for entry on to the degree. Although the programme is focused on policing, the University does not assess the suitability of students to join the police service. For this reason, it is important that prospective students make the necessary enquiries with police services and/or their General Practitioner (GP) regarding entry requirements for employment and are aware of any implications for pre-existing medical conditions, criminal records or cautions. Levels of fitness are the applicant's responsibility.
Most assignments set in BSc (Hons) Policing (Cybersecurity) may include coursework, laboratory-based work, tests and examinations. Coursework will consist of a wide variety of modalities, for example: essays, presentations, case studies, literature reviews, reflective journals, research proposals, guided study and short pieces on specific skills in referencing or conceptual understanding.
These assessments may entail individual or group work. Examinations will be set as seen or unseen and may include multiple-choice questions facilitated through a computer. Policing Suite staff will be expected to manage the learning process to encourage the active participation of students and autonomous learning.
A typical offer would be 112 UCAS Tariff points
Canterbury Christ Church University has 'Approved Provider' status from the College of Policing to deliver the Certificate in Knowledge of Policing (CKP) and BSc (Hons) Policing (Cybersecurity) will facilitate the provision of that qualification.

Story highlights
- Survey: Three out of 10 of us say that we don't password-protect our phones
- McAfee security says more than half have shared their password with others
- Advice: Never use the "remember me" function on apps, Web browser
- Creating a password? Take a pass on 1-1-1-1 please
More than three out of every 10 smartphone owners don't have a password on the device that could give easy access to their e-mail, bank account, credit card information and other sensitive info.
That's one of the findings of a recent worldwide survey by Web security company McAfee.
On top of that, 15% of people surveyed said they save password information on their phones to apps and websites they use and more than half (55%) who do have passwords said they've shared those passwords with others.
"The unfortunate reality is that everyone loses things, and our devices can get stolen," Robert Siciliano, an identity-theft specialist at McAfee, wrote in a blog post about the findings. " And when that happens to your smartphone or tablet, it can be devastating."
In all, 36% of respondents said they don't have a phone password. And women are slightly less likely to password-protect their phones. Some 54% of those who said they don't were women.
Guys aren't blameless, though. Out of all the respondents who said they "hide" passwords to websites and apps in the Notes app on their phone, 62% were men.
"Many of us use upwards of 10 apps on our devices during a typical week," Siciliano wrote. "The majority of these apps are logged into our most critical accounts including e-mail, text, banking, social media, payment apps and others that are linked to our credit cards.
"And because mobile app developers know that we are more apt to use their programs if they are easy to access and convenient to use, a lot of apps are programmed to automatically keep you logged in for days, weeks, months or until you manually revoke access."
He offered some basic tips for protecting data on your phone. Among them:
-- Password-protect all your devices and don't use easy ones such as "1-2-3-4" or "1-1-1-1."
-- Never use the "remember me" function on sensitive apps or your Web browser and remember to log out of those apps when you're done with them.
-- Consider not sharing your password, even with family members. "This might be a tough one," he concedes.
-- Predictably, use a mobile security product -- such as McAfee's.
