It is blustery as all hell outside today, but what is REALLY BLOWING MY MIND is that it's already November!! I feel like I just started adjusting to the fact that it's not summer anymore! Time, you sneaky little devil.
Really quickly, I just want to apologize for my absentee-ism of late. I started off October super strong with roughly ninety-million different costume makeup looks, and then I kind of pulled a Lindsay Lohan: rode that success for as long as I could, fizzled into obscurity, and now I feel like I need to do something actually worthwhile again, so this is my "Lazarus Rising" moment.
And speaking of the risen dead, I hope everyone had a frightful and delightful Halloween. My 31 costume makeup looks for my countdown to Halloween has come to an end, and everyone is probably breathing a sigh of relief as that was starting to be a little much, I'm sure.
If you're not sick of them yet or if you missed them altogether, you can click on the gallery below for a recap!
If you saw my day-of Halloween day post, you already know I had no idea what I was going to be, and if you're curious about whether I was able to whip up something makeup-y and crazy an inspired, my costume reveal is going to be super disappointing.
I went as Clark Kent.
I did 31 makeup looks for the 31 days of Halloween . . . all kinds of makeup . . . all colors of makeup . . . all makeup, everywhere, all the time . . . I was a makeup machine . . . and then I end up going as a dude. Classic Jessi.
But onto more interesting things, the winner of the Drop-Dead Gorgeous Halloween Face-Off was my little pregnant sister :) So she gets a little swag bag full of samples of some my favorite makeup products.

The National Association of Black Journalists issued a statement this week condemning the treatment of black employees at CNN.
They cite Suzanne Malveaux, T.J. Holmes and Soledad O’Brien, who have all left or been forced to leave their anchor posts in the past few years. They say there are only two black executive producers at the network.
This week is not a good one for CNN where discrimination is concerned. On Monday, Stanley Wilson, a 51-year-old writer/producer filed a $5 million lawsuit in Los Angeles County against the network for race and age discrimination after he was fired in January. He worked at CNN for 17 years. He was promoted one time despite applying for numerous positions.
This week’s statement cites the fact that NABJ gave CNN it’s “best practices” award in 2007.
So what has happened in the last seven years?
CNN refused to provide a comment on this to NABJ. The Mirror has also requested a comment.

Offinsive Line: Grant Haggard, Kizz Prusia, Hale Hulin, Dean Bisterfeldt, Mark Rangel, Cody Strain, Josh Lowden and Ellis McCarthy of Monrovia High School’s Football team during practice,Thursday, Nov. 3, 2009.
MONROVIA – Offensive linemen constantly are reminded Monrovia High School’s success is heavily dependent on their individual victories in the trenches.
How the offensive line goes, so goes its heralded quarterback Nick Bueno and a stable of running backs that includes De’Shawn Ramirez and Derrick Johnson.
It’s a ripple effect resulting in an undefeated season and the No. 1 seed in the CIF-Southern Section Mid-Valley Division playoffs.
From the start of the season, Monrovia coach Ryan Maddox said the offensive line would be the Wildcats’ strength, and so far it’s held true.
They’ll quietly go unnoticed once again when Monrovia (12-0) hosts Whittier Christian (9-3) at 7 on Saturday night in the division semifinals.
Seniors Josh Lowden, Cody Strain, Harley Hulin and Kizz Prusia are the returning linemen from last year’s team that made a run to the semifinals. Dean Bisterfeldt, a 6-foot, 210 pound junior, is the newcomer.
They’re the centerpiece that holds the offense together, but they’re also the group that gets little notice.
They’re not pretty or flashy like their more skilled teammates, but they get the job done.
“Truly they are the foundation,” Maddox said. “Without a great offensive line you don’t have the stats for Nick Bueno and De’Shawn Ramirez.
Senior Grant Haggard (6-2, 225) and sophomore Ellis McCarthy (6-5, 246) are tight ends who are an extended part of the lineman family and help Bueno buy time with their intimidating frames.
Senior Mark Rangel also is part of the family. He’s had valuable playing time since Lowden separated his shoulder against Blair in Week 10. His seamless transition has helped immensely.
“Mark has been, in coaching terms, our No. 6,” Maddox said. “He can fill in anywhere – at guard, tackle or center. It’s not the first time he’s filled in for us. On occasion we’ll get Josh out on games where we can give him a rest and Mark steps in without a problem.
Lowden, a linebacker, and McCarthy, a defensive end, can grab the spotlight at times because of their tremendous athletic ability and strength, whether it be through an interception or a sack. But the others do their job, jog back to the sideline and may get nothing more than a pat on the back with the crowd cheering as Bueno or Johnson celebrate yet another touchdown.
“They’re used to not getting their names in the paper,” Maddox said. “That kind of goes along with the job and they’re kind of proud of it. It’s kind of like an offensive lineman creed.
Bueno, a junior, has rushed for 1,258 yards and 14 touchdowns and passed for 923 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Ramirez, a sophomore, is the second-leading rusher with 852 yards and 10 touchdowns. Johnson, a junior, is the third-leading rusher with 581 yards and 14 touchdowns.
“The offensive line’s glory is when they open huge holes,” Maddox said, “and they know they’re doing their jobs and dominating the defense, marching down the field.

In the real world, as opposed to the imaginary universe that neoconservatives and Wilsonians dream about, there are very few really good protagonists or really bad antagonists.
A former Turkish diplomat told me that during a visit to the Pentagon after 9/11, a top official explained that the Bush Administration hoped Ankara would take steps towards strengthening political and military ties with New Delhi, as part of a process that could lead eventually to the establishment of an alliance between the three pro-Western democracies of India, Turkey and Israel.
The Turkish official was dumbfounded. Where was his counterpart getting his political intelligence from? After all, it wasn’t a secret that when it came to the conflict between India and Pakistan, Turkey tended to identify and cooperate with the South Asian Muslim country.
No to mention the fact that notwithstanding the partnership between Ankara and Jerusalem, the Turks never considered Israel to be an “ally,” as they attempted balancing their relationship with the Jewish State and the Arab countries. In fact, Israel and Turkey didn’t establish full diplomatic until 1992 following the Oslo Process that led to the rapprochement between the Israelis and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
And in any case, the idea of Turkey siding with India and challenging the balance of power in South Asia didn’t make a lot of sense, particularly at a moment when the United States as part of its campaign against terrorism was strengthening its ties with Islamabad and elevating them to the status of a strategic alliance.
But then it seemed that Pentagon official was engaged in one of the intellectual exercises favored by both neoconservatives on the political right and liberal internationalists on the political left: Drawing up foreign policy narratives that reflect the dualistic cosmology of Manichaeism in which international relations is seen as a never-ending struggle between light and darkness, between the forces of good led by the United States that are confronting the bad guys, ranging from “rogue states” to “authoritarian regimes” that threaten to destroy the liberal international order.
But in the real world, as opposed to the imaginary universe that neoconservatives and Wilsonians dream about, there are very few really good protagonists or really bad antagonists.
So you need to make sure that while constructing a narrative one takes into account the “anomalies” and resolve the cognitive dissonance between the plot of the fairy tale and the many shades of gray that typify the relations between nations.
Hence, when the Bush Administration responded to the attacks on New York and Washington by Al Qaeda, the radical Muslim fundamentalist group, by launching the war against terrorism it identified Iraq and Iran as two of the leading members of the Axis of Evil it was planning to confront.
But that proposed narrative was full with inconsistencies. The secular Ba’ath regime in Baghdad and the Shiite clerics in Tehran regarded Osama Bin Ladin’s terrorist group as well as its ally, the Taliban, the Sunni Muslim fundamentalist movement ruling Afghanistan as ideological adversaries (in the case of the secular and semi-fascist Saddam Hussein) or as sectarian foes (in the case of Iran’s Ayatollahs).
On the other hand, two of Washington’s allies in the war on terrorism, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, were the two main allies of the Taliban while Al Qaeda and its leader Osama bin Laden were proponents of the extremist Wahhabi Muslim dogma promoted by the Saudis and embraced by the Pakistanis.
The neocons that championed the Bush Administration’s move to oust Saddam Hussein and invade Iraq were never able to resolve this dissonance. They tried to protect it by turning “Islamo-Fascism” into the an all encompassing bogeyman that seemed to cover all the bad guys – Saddam and the Ayatollahs; Al Qaeda and Hizbolah; the Taliban and Hamas– while not dwelling on the role of that the Saudis and the Pakistan had played in the story.
They even provided the narrative with a Happy End – the ushering of the age of liberal democracy in the Middle East though the use of American military power. That the story ended with a stronger Iran, the rise of Islamic State (IS), and the return of the Taliban: well that would have to wait for another narrative.
So perhaps it’s not surprising that the same cast of narrative writers in Washington who were responsible for that foreign policy flop, are now trying to employ their creative talents to come-up with new story lines that would help convince us that once again the international system was dominated by a struggle between the forces of light and the forces of darkness. And guess which side we are on?
For a while it seemed as though the reality of international relations was anything but Manichean, with the Middle East degenerating into a struggle over power between a few allies (Turkey; the Kurds; Israel); not very-nice players who happen to be our friends (Saudi Arabia; Egypt); the bad ones (Iran; Syria; Hizbolah; Hamas), and the devil incarnate (IS) that happened to be a killing machine that owes its radical Islamist ideology to the Wahhabi teachers in Saudi Arabia. Not to mention Al Qaeda and its many political satellites that were located now somewhere between the bad ones and the devil incarnate.
That was kind of a bummer, if you plan to write a script for a western in which the noble protagonists fight the evil antagonists, as opposed to a post-modern David Lynch movie with its tormenting moral ambiguity, which unfortunately is how the international system looks quite frequently.
Russia’s military intervention in Ukraine in 2014 and West was encouraging in a sense that it helped to cast Vladimir Putin as the new global villain. That Putin strengthened Russia’s ties with its old client state Syria and maintained friendly ties with Iran, allowed the creative juices of the narrative writers to start flowing again and to identify the new forces of darkness: The authoritarian Putin; the murderous Bashar Assad; and the Ayatollahs in Tehran.
Never mind that the secular Assad and for that matter, Iran, were fighting the IS and other radical Sunni Islamist groups. Or that Russia had to protect legitimate strategic interests in the Middle East and was strengthening its ties with a U.S. ally, Israel. Or that Turkey was at one point allied with Assad, that it was an adversary of the Kurds and in the midst of a major diplomatic confrontation with Israel, and that together with the Saudis, Ankara helped support radical Sunni Islamist groups.
Indeed, it was becoming more and more difficult to cast Turkey’s Recap Tayyip Erdogan, who like Putin was accused of projecting authoritarian tendencies, as the good guy in the evolving narrative, especially after the Turks shot-down a Russian warplane on its border with Syria in November 2015, raising the specter of a war between the Russians and the Turks.
But not to worry: Amid the tensions between Ankara and the West in the aftermath of the attempted military coup in Turkey, and as the two countries struggled with their flagging economies, Moscow and Ankara decided to patch their relations, leading to a meeting between Erdogan and Putin in Moscow.
Judging by the reaction of the foreign policy crowd in Washington, the meeting was nothing short of an historic summit, a turning point in the Middle East politics that could reshape the global balance of balance: The supposedly two anti-Eastern authoritarian leaders, are cooperating with the other force of darkness, Iran, in shoring up Assad brutal regime and check mating the United States.
It almost goes without saying that this storyline is farfetched when one takes into consideration that Turkey is an important member of NATO and is seeking membership in the European Union (EU). Just count how many times President Barack Obama has met with Erdogan. And Turkey (like in the case of Russia), continues to hold free and democratic elections (certainly more open than those held in “liberated” Iraq or in Egypt).
There is no question that there are serious disagreements between the U.S. and Turkey – as there are between Russia and Turkey or between the Russia and the United States -- over the strategy of bringing an end to the civil war in Syria as well as over Kurdish issue. But those disagreements would not necessarily disappear if a more secular and liberal government had led Turkey.
On one level, scripting Manichean foreign policy narratives is at best an intriguing intellectual exercise. But at worst, it can impact the foreign policy discourse in Washington; in the way the neoconservative narrative helped shape public perception of policy after 9/11, creating the conditions for the decision to invade Iraq.

The Huatuo Institute in partnership with the ACATCM are developing a clinical research program to better understand Traditional Chinese Medicine's(TCM) role in the treatment and management of Type 2 Diabetes.
Participants who wish to be involved will go through a screening process, which include a combination of western and TCM diagnosis, to determine their suitability for the program. This includes an understanding of the disease severity, a health survey to better categorize individuals from a TCM perspective, and the participants ability to abide to the schedule developed by the practitioner.
Once accepted into the program participants will provide baseline blood sugar measurements along with a detailed medical history. Afterwards those participating will receive a schedule of consistent acupuncture appointments as well as herbal remedies, diet modification, and lifestyle changes all free of charge.
During the study participants will be asked to report changes and consent to tests in multiple aspects including blood sugar before and after acupuncture appointments, reports on vitality, and if applicable describe any changes in pain or neuralgia symptoms.

Princesses and Pixie Dust: Food Friday: A Smorgasbord of Snacks!
Hey there, princes and princesses! I hope your week has been filled to the brim with all kinds of magic and adventure! I just wanted to let you guys know (and apologize in advance) that the next few weeks may be a teeny bit slower for posting! As I'm sure you're quite sick of hearing, I started my sophomore year at university this past week, and I'm still getting back into the swing of things. Thanks for understanding, and we now return to our regularly scheduled pixie-dusting!
The term itself is an umbrella, beneath which goodies of every variety gather in a spread of scrumptiousness. Cupcakes, cookies, and everything in between are present and accounted for- whether you're craving a massive cinnamon roll at Gaston's (R.I.P. old Main Street Bakery) or an impossibly adorable candy apple, you won't be disappointed at a Disney park!
If I had my way, I would forgo meals entirely and fill my belly entirely from the bevy of snack carts and counters at Walt Disney World (goodness knows most of them are big enough to stand in for a meal!). With such variety, the task of picking only a handful of these tantalizing treats can be understandably daunting. That's why I'm here to count down my top 5 most favorite (WDW) Disney snacks of all time (... too much?)!
# 5: Ice Cream. All the kinds.
... didn't stand a chance!
Alright, I know what you guys are thinking: "Becca, wouldn't this be one of the "all the kinds" you just mentioned?" In any other case, yes. However, this is not any old cookie sandwich. This cookie sandwich starts with two soft, gooey chocolate chip cookies (each of which, I might add, is roughly the size of my nineteen-year-old hand). Then, a cast member will lop on healthy dose of that cold, creamy good stuff (typically vanilla) and actual magic happens. The ice cream melts ever-so-slightly into the warm cookies and creates an amazing, melty bite with the perfect balance of textures.
A word of caution: the precise thing that makes this cookie great (see aforementioned melty deliciousness) brings the potential for a little bit of a mess. I suggest coming into it with a game plan (and a few napkins)!
I will keep using this picture until someone tells me to stop.
I somehow have no photos of my favorite snack... but this is where you can get it!
Was there really any doubt about this one? I love Dole Whip. I dream about Dole Whip. Dole Whip dominates entire conversations in my day-to-day life.
The legendary pineapple soft-serve hardly needs an introduction; it's the perfect complement to a sunny day in the Magic Kingdom, and it's hard to beat a stroll through Adventureland with a Dole Whip in hand. Bright and refreshing, it's like a smile in a cup, and a trip to Disney just isn't complete without one.
Did your favorite snack make the list? I had such a hard time picking only five!
I really enjoyed your comment underneath the schoolbread picture, so I'm going to be the one telling you to STOP using it. :-p Just kidding- it's a lovely picture and I get hungry just looking at it!
That cookie sandwich looks divine and brought back memories from when I'd visit Ben and Jerry's on my work breaks this summer and get a Cookie Cookie Sundae.... those things are so big that I couldn't even finish them! But so delicious too... AH. Your blog makes me hungry Becca!

Revolve Clothing, an increasingly popular Los Angeles-based fashion e-commerce business, is the latest such retailer to fall victim to layoffs, even as the company’s profits continue to grow. Earlier this month, Revolve announced a round of layoffs in the photo department of its Cerritos headquarters, and sources who spoke to Jezebel believe the company’s seemingly endless budget for mega influencer events—including a Kim Kardashian appearance in the Hamptons—may be coming at the expense of those jobs.
Two Revolve employees (both spoke to me over the phone under the condition of anonymity to avoid penalty) said Revolve co-founder Mike Karanikolas held a meeting on June 17 and announced that the company was laying off the majority of its photo editing team—which is responsible for acquiring and editing photos and editorials that appear on the site—to save on operational costs.
One staff member also said people who lost their jobs were offered severance packages that will only be issued if they remain at Revolve until their official termination date, which is months down the line. Some employees will stay on until September, while others will remain until November or January, after which their jobs will be outsourced to workers in another country (two employees, one current and one former, specifically said the Philippines). Employees appear to be cautious about publicly discussing the layoffs to avoid jeopardizing their future severance.
In June, we notified a small number of employees that they will likely be let go between the months of September and January, as we shift certain work to a 3rd party provider. All affected employees were provided at least several months advance notice, and all were additionally provided severance packages including salary and health coverage, as well as assistance locating other career opportunities. While fewer than ten employees were affected by the changes, we sympathize with their situation, and are doing our best to assist them going forward.
We don’t anticipate any other operational changes of this nature and the company will continue to hire and build the team as the business continues to grow.
Expenditures relating to sales and marketing efforts are generally unrelated to operational decisions, and are necessary for the continued successful operation of REVOLVE, which employs hundreds of individuals. We generally do not comment on marketing expenditures, but we will say in this case the information reported by the press was inaccurate.
The inaccuracy she’s referring to are reports that Kim Kardashian was paid $700,000 to host a Revolve Hamptons event this summer. According to the laid-off employees I spoke to, it’s the optics of excess spending that make the layoffs feel more offensive. Perhaps what’s happening is an overlap of their personal disappointment about losing a job and the natural effects of a company that’s prioritizing public image.
Still, like other fashion outlets, Revolve relies heavily on celebrities and influencers for a marketing boost. Nicole Richie collaborated on a line, stars like Kendall and Kylie Jenner have sold a collection on their site, and style bloggers are frequently sent on trips to promote the brand. Such events have become the lifeblood of Revolve.
In addition to taking care of their travel and accommodations, Revolve gifted each influencer with a sizable clothing credit — a source close to the participating talent tells us $2,000 is standard — in addition to paying his or her appearance fee. And for certain agency-backed bloggers, like Bernstein and Bazan, who are both represented by Next Models, this can easily run in the tens of thousands of dollars.
The first Revolve employee I spoke to who was part of the layoffs told me the company’s decision to hire Kardashian angered staff members who’d been let go. Kim reportedly spent an hour at the party, where she was seen “taking numerous selfies with influencers,” Page Six reported.
Also in attendance were fashion insiders like stylist Chriselle Lim, blogger Arielle Charnas and DJ Amy Pham.
Gerona responded to my question about the Kardashian event in her email above with: “Expenditures relating to sales and marketing efforts are generally unrelated to operational decisions, and are necessary for the continued successful operation of REVOLVE.” Gerona also declined to comment on how much Kardashian was paid for the event.
Why the huge cost for Kardashian’s brief appearance? It’s all part of Revolve’s big picture marketing strategy to show clothes in context so customers aspire to wear them — and in turn, buy them. (Google recently released a study that found this tactic influences 64 percent of women to make a purchase on their smartphones.) When the brand isn’t hosting parties in the Hamptons, it’s sending fashion bloggers on epic, scenic trips around the world — Jamaica, Mexico, Croatia, etc. — dressed in the e-tailer’s latest offerings.
The employee estimated that the average photo editor’s salary at Revolve is around $36,000. Some of the laid-off staffers first heard about the Kardashian appearance when a fed-up ex-employee railed about it in a scathing Instagram post and tweet posted on July 19.
When I spoke to Estrada over the phone, he said the photo editing team at Revolve is responsible for “pretty much about 95 percent of the website” and that employees who were laid off but still working—some of whom he’s remained friends with and have expressed grievances to him, he says—have been tasked with making the outsourcing a smooth transition.
When asked whether the recent layoffs could simply be viewed as a common, unfortunate result of a growing company’s bureaucratic decisions, Estrada noted that cost-cutting could have been directed elsewhere.
UPDATE (3:40 p.m.): This post has been updated with additional comments from Revolve’s brand and marketing rep Raissa Gerona.

Quick view of the famous Golden Guitar in Tamworth on our way to the Hunter Valley. Singleton is a large country town that is a great base for visiting the Hunter Valley Wine Region. We camp for 3 nights at the local showground. The Hunter Valley (surprisingly) only supplies 2 % of Australia’s wine output. Even so, there are numerous small wineries, far too many to visit, especially if tasting at each one. We visit a couple of our favourites, Tulloch and McGuigan, to top up on our supplies of port, rose and sparkling wine. Could not drive past the Hunter Valley Chocolate Company.
Take a look at the tree photo below – we came across a colony of fruit bats or flying foxes right in the centre of town.
Hi it is good to see you are enjoying this beautiful country and especially the Hunter Valley. It is a great time of the year for a visit down South. We are off the Perth for my nephews wedding tomorrow and will be away for 6 nights then we are off down south to see family. We hope you are visiting a lot of great golf courses as well as wineries on the way. Continue to have a great time and we will see you when you get back.

I brought on regular interview guest, Darshan Kulkarni, to discuss the current state of events in the clinical research industry, paying specific attention to Amazon, Apple and Google all flirting with the idea of being clinical trial disruptors. Will be interesting to see how this develops in 2018!
How important is the clinical research associate and clinical research site dynamic? In this video interview with a senior CRA, we get into the specifics on how influential CRA's are in awarding sites future clinical trial opportunities.
Why do drugs cost so much? In this interview with Darshan Kulkarni we discuss the reason behind these prices and why Sponsors spend on average 1 million dollars per DAY to develop one drug!
In this video, I interviewed Luke Edington of DataPharm , Australia's oldest CRO. We discussed DIA 2016 conference which occurred in June 2016 and covered all of the trends and hot topics in the clinical research industry these days.
On this blog, I try to give practical advice to anyone who may be interested in learning more about the clinical research industry. While a lot of attention has been given to the research sites, CRA's, and the like, not very much has been said about project managers. In this video I discuss some common interview questions that a CRO or a pharmaceutical company might ask of any potential project manager candidate. Hope this can help some of you out!

text: Met with Serguei Dmitriev and Eugene Belyaev of JetBrains, the makers of IDEA, the best IDE for Java. I was trying to show them some of Marin, but just as we got to the ocean, it started pouring. “We’re from Russia,” they said, undeterred. We walked for, oh, 3 minutes before retreating to a bar in Sausalito. They’re looking for star programmers.

Studying organisms as a whole for potential metabolic(ally) engineering of organisms for production of (bio)chemicals is essential for industrial biotechnology. To this end, integrative analysis of different –omics measurements (transciptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, fluxomics) provides invaluable information. Combination of experimental top-down and bottom-up approaches with powerful analytical tools/techniques and mathematical modeling, namely (quantitative) systems biology, currently making the state of art of this discipline, is the only practice that would improve our understanding for the purpose.
The use of high-throughput technologies induced the required development of many bioinformatics tools and mathematical methods for the integration of obtained data. Such research is significant since compiling information from different levels of a living system and connecting them is not an easy task. In particular, construction of dynamic models for product improvement has been one of the goals of many research groups.
In this Research Topic, we wish to summarize and bring a general review of the most recent and relevant contributions in quantitative systems biology applied in metabolic modeling perspective. We want to make special emphasis on the techniques that can be widely implemented in regular scientific laboratories and in those works that include theoretical presentations.
With this Research Topic we will discuss the importance of applying systems biology approaches for finding metabolic engineering targets for the efficient production of the desired biochemical integrating information from genomes and networks to industrial production. Examples and perspectives in the design of new industrially relevant chemicals, e.g. increased titer/productivity/yield of (bio)chemicals, are welcome. Addition to the founded examples, potential new techniques that would frontier the research will be part of this topic. The significance of multi ‘omics’ approaches to understand/uncover the pathogenesis/mechanisms of metabolic disesases is also one of the main topics.

Note to self: Avoid the police state of Paragould, Arkansas | Curses! Foiled Again!
[Paragould Police Chief] Stovall told the group of almost 40 residents that beginning in 2013, the department would deploy a new street crimes unit to high crime areas on foot to take back the streets.
[Mayor] Gaskill backed Stovall’s proposed actions during Thursday’s town hall.
The Constitution, you say? Probable Cause, you say? Don’t worry, the police chief has answers for that nonsense!
See? There’s a lot of crime, so the Rights of non-criminals can be set aside! Easy!
The mayor apparently backed down a little on the severity of this police-state plan, but it looks like he still intends to have police in battle gear out patrolling the streets like some Amerikanized Gestapo unit.
I suggest the subjects of Paragould learn the phrase “Papieren, bitte!” It sounds like you’re going to be hearing it a lot. Your police department has become the standing army our nation’s founders were worried about, and your government is perfectly willing to use them to control you.
* Note that the linked article is dated December 15, 2012. The town may have abandoned this plan, but I haven’t found anything to indicated that, so I am assuming that the plan is still moving forward.
The Daily Press reported Stovall saying that the crime statistics in the city were high enough to justify such action by law enforcement. It noted that an attorney was not consulted by the mayor or police chief before the street crimes unit plan was proposed.

The IAEA has emergency contact points worldwide that can use various channels to communicate with the Agency through its Incident and Emergency Centre. The Unified System for Information Exchange in Incidents and Emergencies (USIE) is a secure website maintained by the IAEA to enable countries to exchange urgent notifications and follow-up information during an emergency.
In an emergency, Member States require prompt, authoritative and verified information about the situation and its potential consequences. The IAEA’s Incident and Emergency Centre maintains a list of emergency contact points in Member States, States Party to the Conventions on the Early Notification of a Nuclear Accident and on Assistance in the Case of a Nuclear Accident or Radiological Emergency, and in other relevant international organizations. Via the USIE website, as well as by telephone, facsimile, email and video conferencing, the Centre maintains communication with these contact points. The IAEA’s Operations Manual for Incident and Emergency Communication outlines the arrangements for emergency communications.
More than 1,000 users from over 150 Member States are currently registered in USIE. The System not only facilitates the exchange of notifications and information between countries during an emergency, it also allows them to request information or international assistance. USIE is also used by officially nominated INES National Officers, who access it to share information on events rated using the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale (INES). While USIE itself is not a public website, information on events obtained from USIE is available publicly on the NEWS website.
To shorten the time needed to share information from national systems to systems used at international level, the IAEA uses the International Radiological Information Exchange data standard (IRIX) as common data standard for information exchange. Developed by the IAEA together with Member States and other international organizations, this standard enables the Agency’s counterparts to connect their information exchange systems, thereby allowing for an efficient exchange of event details. This is required under the Convention on the Early Notification of a Nuclear Accident. Details that can be shared using IRIX include information on the status of nuclear installations, releases of radioactive material and radiation levels measured in the environment. The IRIX standard has also been implemented in the USIE system.
