Stella McCartney is launching the world's first biodegradable stretch denim line to mark her commitment to sustainable fashion.
The London-born designer, 48, is collaborating with Italian brand Candiani to create environmentally-friendly stretch denim using plant-based yarns.
The brand's current denim range is made using 100 per cent organic cotton, but the process involved in producing it requires a huge volume of water and toxic dyes and chemicals to create just one pair of jeans.
The Coreva Stretch Technology is produced in a safe, toxic-free environment, using organic cotton wrapped around a natural rubber core.

This ensures the fabric is free from plastics and micro-plastics and biodegradable - without compromising on elasticity.
This innovative shift is a step further towards producing sustainable denim clothing for the label's autumn/winter 2020 collection.

Alberto Candiani, owner of the Candiani family mill said in a statement: 'In a world where resources are diminishing and landfills are overflowing with discarded garments, it's our duty to look for renewable resources, in addition to biodegradable and compostable material.
'Denim has to take the lead as the indigo flag of this revolution and we are thrilled to be working alongside Stella McCartney to share our innovation and beliefs with the wider fashion industry.'

Stella's new sustainable collection includes 10 pieces designed in two styles, all made with Candiani's patented Coreva Stretch Technology.
The Stella McCartney brand prides itself on being pioneers in 'environmentally sustainable and ethical clothing'.
The company website states that it believes that everybody in its supply chain should be treated with 'respect and dignity' and 'earn a fair wage'.
Last week Stella was mocked for praising actor Joaquin Phoenix for re-wearing the same tuxedo - custom-made by her - to all the awards events this season.
She shared a picture of the Joker star, 45, holding his Golden Globe award after he scooped the prize for his performance as Arthur Fleck.

Stella tweeted: 'This man is a winner… wearing custom Stella because he chooses to make choices for the future of the planet. He has also chosen to wear this same Tux for the entire award season to reduce waste. I am proud to join forces with you... x Stella.'
She also previously spoke about the challenges of finding alternative materials to leather and fur - and admitted she doesn't often wash her bras.
'It's my intention to stand shoulder to shoulder with the conventional houses and show that you can actually be respectful in your supply chain and manufacture,' she told the Guardian last year.

'It's not like I go, "Oh, I'm not going to use PVC because the challenge will make me more creative." It's like, 'Well, that f****** sucks, and I've also only got three sequins that I can use in two colourways as opposed to 5,000 that everyone else will use.
'If everyone else was sustainable, we could have a level playing field, so it does feel unfair - but it's my choice and I believe very much in my reasons for working in that way.'
Stella added that as a basic rule of thumb, you 'don't absolutely have to clean anything' as it's bad for the environment to constantly wash clothes.
'I wouldn't change my bra every day and I don't just chuck stuff into a washing machine because it's been worn,' she said.
Stella McCartney's brand is popular with members of the Royal Family; Meghan Markle wore a camel coat by the designer on a visit to Canada House last week
'I am incredibly hygienic myself, but I'm not a fan of dry cleaning or any cleaning, really.'
In November the designer was slammed by social media users for plugging one of her coats worn by the Duchess of Sussex on Remembrance Day.
Meghan Markle wore a £1,545 belted wool Stella McCartney coat to watch the poignant Remembrance Sunday commemorations from a balcony at the Cenotaph in Whitehall.
But the designer, 48, then used an image of the royal to advertise the coat on her Instagram account.
McCartney said: 'So honoured to have HRH Duchess of Sussex in our Autumn '19 coat at Remembrance Day service. x Stella.'

It later emerged that the coat in question was made by workers earning £2.60 per hour at the Beriv factory in the town of Berrettyoujfalu, which lies in eastern Hungary - one of the country's poorest regions.
The factory specialises in producing women's coats and jackets for the Stella McCartney range.
A Stella McCartney spokeswoman said: 'We remain committed to responsible and ethical business practices and will do what we can to secure these throughout our supply chain.'

With Faith In Omarosa, Black Republicans Gear For Place In 'Most Diverse' White House
As black Republicans who supported Trump (and those who were critical) meet in Washington about the new administration, Omarosa Manigault is expected to be a point of contact.
By Darren Sands

WASHINGTON — A cluster of black Republicans met Friday at Trump International in Washington about their effort to seek White House appointments in the Trump administration.
In recent days, Omarosa Manigault, who ran Trump's campaign's black outreach, has told black Republican leaders that Trump is appreciative of the work the RNC and its black advisory councils made. According to two sources, Manigault said black Republican leaders that Trump wants to have the "most diverse" administration.
Senior black Republicans may have been dubious of Trump's chances at winning, but many remained loyal to the campaign through months of infighting and power struggles, as well as tension over the resources and recognition. Those have all been forgotten. Now black Republicans who were Never Trump or were overtly critical of the Trump campaign's black outreach are coming back.
Even one of the most anti-Trump black Republicans told BuzzFeed News, "We must support Mr. Trump helping him make the best of his presidency."
In an interview with BuzzFeed News, Glo Smith, a congressional candidate from Florida, declined to discuss Trump or whether she supported him. But a source said that in a mostly celebratory RNC call Thursday, Smith suggested that while she lost her race, she was delighted at Trump's big win.
"I did not win my campaign, but Trump became my president," she said according to a source briefed on the call. "Praise God!"
Sean Jackson, the chair of the Black Republican Caucus of Florida had written a scathing open letter slamming the Trump campaign for its lack of black outreach. Jackson reportedly wanted the Trump campaign to implement a plan to engage black voters, and got upset when the campaign rebuffed his offer.
"Last week, prior to the November 8th election I addressed you out of frustration," Jackson wrote on Nov. 10, "stating that though I was to still vote [sic] for President–Elect Trump I was to suspend my last minuet [sic] efforts of campaigning out of aggravation with the lack of outreach from both the Campaign and the Republican National Committee – I WAS WRONG!"
"As I reflect on my mistake to be silent in the last 3 days of the campaign I am reminded of Proverbs 3:7 'do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil.'"
On Thursday, he apologized for his letter and jumped in on the RNC call offering to open his Rolodex: He explained that he still had contacts from his time as a backup singer for Patti LaBelle and wanted to know how to put people in touch with people planning entertainment for inauguration.
Jackson — who phoned Manigault this week — called Manigault "a friend" and the RNC "a strong ally" he's worked with closely to help elect Trump.
"I clearly misspoke when suggesting that enough hadn't been done to target the black vote and I made that clear by stating I was wrong while congratulating Omarosa, then the campaign staff and RNC for their efforts," he told BuzzFeed News.
Manigault was on that RNC call, and is expected to be working closely with the transition team. She'll be the point of contact for black Republicans either looking to work in the administration. She has had the confidence of black Republicans since she was first named by the Trump campaign as the black outreach director, citing her obvious place in Trump's orbit and popularity.
She did not attend the meeting on Friday in Washington. Elroy Sailor, a special adviser to Reince Priebus said the meeting about black Republicans place in transition was largely informational, as Republicans go "from campaigning to governing mode."
Trump's ascendance is full of irony for black Republicans. Trump's big win now puts Manigault, a relative outsider, front-and-center in the black Republican Beltway ecosystem. One of its most senior leaders, former George W. Bush administration official Kay Cole James, keynoted Friday's meeting.
Had Manigault, one of the key figures in Trump's orbit been in Washington, however, a source said, she'd have run the show.

Dropping the Charges Against General Cienfuegos Was William Barr's Call
TOPICS:War on DrugsWilliam Barr

On Oct. 15, 2020, federal prosecutors took the remarkable step of arresting former Mexican Defense Minister Gen. Salvador Cienfuegos Zepeda on charges that he conspired to protect drug traffickers. Even in retirement, Cienfuegos was the most important Mexican official ever charged in a U.S. court. A month later, however, the Justice Department took the even more extraordinary step of dropping the charges.
The U.S. attorney general, William P. Barr, said his chief goal in sending Cienfuegos home was to preserve Mexico's collaboration with the United States in fighting the drug trade. But the general's arrest and its aftermath had the opposite effect — all but shutting down counterdrug cooperation between the two countries. Less than two months after his return, Mexican prosecutors exonerated Cienfuegos after a cursory investigation, underscoring the impunity with which the military has operated in the drug fight. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador then began attacking the Drug Enforcement Administration for "fabricating" its charges against Cienfuegos.
Last year, Mexico abandoned the Mérida Initiative, the 2007 landmark agreement by which the United States provided Mexico with more than $3.5 billion in aid and training to fight organized crime. The new pact that replaced Mérida is very much on López Obrador's terms. Joint operations against big traffickers have been almost an afterthought. Meanwhile, fentanyl from Mexico is fueling the deadliest drug epidemic in U.S. history.
U.S. investigators believed that with Cienfuegos' arrest they had finally confronted the high-level corruption that has long sustained organized crime in Mexico. Instead, they now say, the episode is likely to define the limits of U.S. security policy in Mexico for years to come.
The Cienfuegos case emerged from a routine DEA investigation in Las Vegas and a code word: "godfather."
The agent who drove the investigation was a Las Vegas police detective named Timothy Beck. He spoke almost no Spanish and had never worked in Mexico. But he and other agents built a powerful case against the leaders of a violent drug gang, called "the H's," who were based in the small Pacific Coast state of Nayarit.
Using court-authorized wiretaps in the United States, the Las Vegas task force collected years of the gang's communications. The U.S. agents followed its leader, Juan Francisco Patrón Sánchez, known as H-2, as he worked closely with corrupt officials in Nayarit. The agents watched as H-2 and his lieutenants then sought protection from higher-level officials in Mexico City — one of whom they called their "godfather." The agents later concluded that the official was Cienfuegos.
(Cienfuegos could not be reached for comment, but in a statement, his lawyer said: "General Cienfuegos never should have been charged. And no dismissed indictment or newspaper story will ever change that. The fact is, General Cienfuegos remains as American jurisprudence presumes him: innocent.")
A key source in the investigation set off a firestorm within the U.S. government.
In early 2017, H-2 and his lieutenant were killed along with a dozen of their gunmen by a special-operations team of Mexican marines. That unit, led by Adm. Marco Antonio Ortega Siu, had worked closely with the DEA and other U.S. agencies for years. But U.S. officials had no warning that the marine team was going after the H's.
(Ortega Siu, who is now retired, could not be reached for comment. A spokesperson for the Mexican navy declined to answer questions about the marines' actions in Nayarit, saying that such operations needed to remain confidential for reasons of national security.)
Not long after the H's were killed, Nayarit's acting attorney general, Edgar Veytia, was arrested crossing into the United States. He told investigators a shocking story about what he said really happened in the marines' raid.
Senior Justice Department officials turned confidentially to the Mexican attorney general's office to investigate the matter. However U.S. officials said the Mexicans appeared to do nothing. The DEA aggressively sought to discredit Veytia, whom they saw as jeopardizing their most important partners in Mexico. However, Justice Department officials said that many of his claims appeared to be true.
The Cienfuegos indictment was part of a broader U.S. effort to take on high-level drug corruption in Mexico.
Behind the general's indictment in the Eastern District of New York was a new, joint push by DEA agents and prosecutors to take on the high-level corruption that U.S. officials believe has long sustained Mexico's drug trade. The prosecutors were reacting in large part to embarrassing testimony in the 2018 trial of Mexican drug boss Joaquín Guzmán Loera, known as El Chapo, from witnesses who said he paid huge bribes to top Mexican officials with whom the United States had worked closely.
For their part, DEA officials in Mexico were frustrated with constraints imposed on them by the new López Obrador government. After connecting with the Eastern District prosecutors, a team of experienced agents began to dig into the evidence they had on government figures who had protected drug gangs. The effort, which has not been previously reported, eventually identified more than 20 targets for prosecution among current and former Mexican officials.
Returning Cienfuegos to Mexico was William Barr's call.
After Cienfuegos' arrest, Mexico's foreign minister, Marcelo Ebrard, complained angrily to U.S. officials that they had betrayed Mexico's trust. Ebrard warned that counterdrug cooperation and even the DEA's presence in Mexico could be at stake. According to several officials, Barr decided on his own to drop the most significant Mexican corruption case that U.S. prosecutors had ever brought.
The attorney general later said he hadn't been properly informed about Cienfuegos' arrest, but current and former Justice Department officials disputed that assertion. They said Barr was briefed at least three times before the general's arrest. Barr did have doubts about the strength of the evidence against Cienfuegos, department officials said. But he gave the Eastern District prosecutors little opportunity to defend their case, which officials said included some new witnesses who could testify about the gang's relationship with Cienfuegos and other traffickers who said they met with the general directly. (Through a spokesman, Barr declined to comment on his involvement in the Cienfuegos case.)
Barr did not consult President Donald Trump or senior staff from other national security agencies about his decision, officials said. Nor did he set any conditions for the general's return, U.S. and Mexican officials said. Instead, Barr emphasized Washington's interest in a fugitive Mexican drug trafficker, Rafael Caro Quintero, who had been convicted of murdering a DEA agent in 1985. Caro Quintero was arrested earlier this year. Barr also asked the Mexican government to protect confidential evidence that U.S. officials shared in the Cienfuegos case. Instead, López Obrador released the information publicly and later dismissed it as "garbage."

Experts: Steep Increase in Osteopathic Medical College Enrollment May Help Mitigate National Physician Workforce Shortage
One in five U.S. medical students is training to become an osteopathic physician
(Washington, D.C., OCTOBER 23, 2013) Osteopathic medical college new student enrollment grew by 11.1 percent this year, according to data released by the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM) (see report). The steep growth in first-year student matriculation brings the total enrollment at osteopathic medical colleges to 22,054 students, an increase of 4.9 percent over fall of 2012. The increase in first-year student enrollment is attributed in part to three new colleges of osteopathic medicine that opened this year.
AACOM anticipates that increases in the number of osteopathic medical school graduates will help reduce growing physician shortages, especially in the critical area of primary care. The primary care physician shortage is projected to be greater than any other specialty at over 50,000 in 2025, and the total physician shortage across specializations is projected to reach over 100,000, according to reports.
"Because large numbers of new osteopathic physicians become primary care physicians, often in rural and underserved areas (see related report, tables 40 and 45), it is evident that the osteopathic medical profession will help the nation alleviate a primary care physician crisis," said Stephen C. Shannon, DO, MPH, President and CEO of AACOM. "And colleges of osteopathic medicine are expanding and increasing to meet this demand."
More than 20 percent of U.S. medical students currently attend osteopathic medical schools. This percentage is expected to increase as new campuses are developed and as established colleges continue to expand with increases in their class sizes. Several additional colleges are in the planning stages.
Among the key findings from AACOM's enrollment report:
Enrollment of first-year osteopathic medical students has grown by 11.1 percent over last year's number to a total of 6,449. Over the past decade, enrollment in colleges of osteopathic medicine has nearly doubled.
In spring 2013, 4,726 students graduated from osteopathic medical schools, representing an increase of more than 50 percent over the number of new osteopathic physicians who graduated a decade ago.
Three colleges of osteopathic medicine enrolled first classes this year: Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine (Alabama), Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicine (North Carolina), and Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine (Indiana). Including the new schools, there are now 30 colleges of osteopathic medicine.
The number of students who applied to osteopathic medical schools hit record numbers at 16,454, an increase of more than 1,500 over last year's applicant pool.
Several additional colleges of osteopathic medicine are in the planning stages. To view a list of the proposed colleges that have taken initial steps toward accreditation with the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation, see http://www.osteopathic.org/inside-aoa/accreditation/predoctoral%20accreditation/Documents/new-and-developing-colleges-of-osteopathic-medicine-and-campuses.pdf.

About DOs and Osteopathic Medicine
Osteopathic physicians (DOs) are fully licensed to prescribe medicine and practice in all specialty areas including surgery. They take a holistic approach to patient care, integrating the patient into the health care process as a partner in achieving a high level of wellness by focusing on health promotion and disease prevention. Osteopathic medicine is a complete system of medical care, and in addition to studying all of the typical subjects you would expect student physicians to master, osteopathic medical students take approximately 200 additional hours of training in osteopathic manipulative medicine. This system of hands-on techniques helps alleviate pain, restores motion, supports the body's natural functions and influences the body's structure to help it function more efficiently. The national interest in osteopathic medicine is increasing. Today, one in five U.S. medical students is training to become an osteopathic physician.

Det är frågor som kommer att diskuteras när Socialistiska Partiet och ABF 30-31 januari anordnar ett öppet rött forum i Stockholm med rådslag om vänsterns framtid och uppgifter.
Här kommer texterna som ska ligga till grund för diskussionerna att successivt publiceras.
▶ KLIMATET. Innan det är för sent!
▶ How can we break free from the grip of capitalist society and create jobs and equal welfare for all?
▶ How can we fight back racism, sexism and fascism and reorganize a democratic and fighting workers movement?
▶ How will we react on climate crisis and war?
These questions will be discussed when Socialistiska Partiet (The Socialist Party) and ABF (Workers Education League) arranges a meeting in Stockholm Sweden the last weekend of january, with a counsel on the future of the left and its tasks.
Workers activists, leftists, anti racists, feminists and climate activists are welcome to share their experiences and contribute to the development of a struggling broad left movement that can block the racism and make way out of capitalisms dead-ends. International leftist voices from Spain, Greece, Russia, and others are invited to the forum to contribute with their knowledge.
As a foundation for the counsel, The Socialist Party and others, will publish drafts for positions to discuss prior to the forum. The drafts and the debate will be published in the weekly paper Internatioanlen (The International), on social forums and our web page.
We hope in this way to contribute to a common platform for all left forces, to bring clarity about our tasks and to create a deeper awareness – and at the same time inject new force in the struggle for democratic socialistic solutions on todays capitalistic devastation of humans, societys and enviroment.

The Veterans Benefits Act of 2003 allows Federal contracting officers to restrict competition to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), and award a sole source or set-aside contract where certain criteria are met. Public Law (P.L.) 109-461 gives the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) authority to give additional preferences in contracting with Veteran and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses.
For non-VA contracts, SDVOSBs may self-certify their status by completing the Representations and Certifications in SAM www.sam.gov, or by completing a questionnaire sent by a prime contractor. The business's SAM registration and Small Business Profile (aka Dynamic Small Business Search) registration should also reflect the Veteran and Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business status.
Veteran-Owned and SDVOSBs wishing to benefit from the VA's unique contracting authority must register with the VA's Center for Verification and Evaluation (CVE) and agree to have their Veteran or Service Disabled Veteran status verified by the VA.

Mapping the base of sand dunes using a new design of land-streamer for static correction applications

The complex near-surface structure is a major problem in land seismic data. This is more critical when data acquisition takes place over sand dune surfaces, where the base of the sand acts as a trap for energy and, depending on its shape, can considerably distort conventionally acquired seismic data. Estimating the base of the sand dune surface can help model the sand dune and reduce its harmful influence on conventional seismic data. Among the current methods to do so are drilling upholes and using conventional seismic data to apply static correction. Both methods have costs and limitations. For upholes, the cost factor and their inability to provide a continuous model is well realized. Meanwhile, conventional seismic data lack the resolution necessary to obtain accurate modeling of the sand basement. We developed a method to estimate the sand base from land-streamer seismic acquisition that is developed and geared to sand surfaces. Seismic data acquisition took place over a sand surface in the Al-Thumamah area, where an uphole is located, using the developed land-streamer and conventional spiked geophone systems. Land-streamer acquisition not only provides a more efficient data acquisition system than the conventional spiked geophone approach, but also in our case, the land-streamer provided better quality data with a broader frequency bandwidth. Such data enabled us to do accurate near-surface velocity estimation that resulted in velocities that are very close to those measured using uphole methods. This fact is demonstrated on multiple lines acquired near upholes, and agreement between the seismic velocities and the upholes is high. The stacked depth seismic section shows three layers. The interface between the first and second layers is located at 7 m depth, while the interface between second and third layers is located at 68 m depth, which agrees with the uphole result. 2012 The Author(s).

Two applications of time reversal mirrors: Seismic radio and seismic radar
Hanafy, Sherif M.; Schuster, Gerard T. (The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Acoustical Society of America (ASA), 2011-07-08) [Article]
Two seismic applications of time reversal mirrors (TRMs) are introduced and tested with field experiments. The first one is sending, receiving, and decoding coded messages similar to a radio except seismic waves are used. The second one is, similar to radar surveillance, detecting and tracking a moving object(s) in a remote area, including the determination of the objects speed of movement. Both applications require the prior recording of calibrationGreen's functions in the area of interest. This reference Green's function will be used as a codebook to decrypt the coded message in the first application and as a moving sensor for the second application. Field tests show that seismicradar can detect the moving coordinates ( x(t), y(t), z(t)) of a person running through a calibration site. This information also allows for a calculation of his velocity as a function of location. Results with the seismic radio are successful in seismically detecting and decoding coded pulses produced by a hammer. Both seismic radio and radar are highly robust to signals in high noise environments due to the super-stacking property of TRMs.
Passive seismic event estimation using multi-scattering waveform inversion
Song, Chao; Wu, Zedong; Alkhalifah, Tariq Ali (GEOPHYSICS, Society of Exploration Geophysicists, 2019-01-09) [Article]
Passive seismic monitoring has become an effective method to understand underground processes. Time-reversal-based methods are often used to locate passive seismic events directly. However, these kinds of methods are strongly dependent on the accuracy of the velocity model. Full waveform inversion (FWI) has been employed on passive seismic data to invert the velocity model and source image, simultaneously. However, waveform inversion of passive seismic data utilizes mainly the transmission energy, which results in poor illumination and low resolution. We develop a waveform inversion using multi-scattered energy for passive seismic to extract more information from the data than conventional FWI. Using transmission wavepath information from single- and double-scattering, computed from a predicted scatterer field acting as secondary sources, the proposed method provides better illumination of the velocity model than conventional FWI. Using a new objective function, we optimize the source image and velocity model including multi-scattered energy, simultaneously. As we conduct our method in the frequency domain with a complex source function including both spatial and wavelet information, we mitigate the uncertainties of the source wavelet and source origin time. Inversion results from the Marmousi model show that by taking advantage of multi-scattered energy and starting from a reasonably acceptable frequency (single source at 3 Hz and multiple sources at 5 Hz), the proposed method yields better inverted velocity models and source images compared with the conventional FWI.
Multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) Acceleration of Seismic Wave Propagation under Uncertainty
Ballesio, Marco; Beck, Joakim; Pandey, Anamika; Parisi, Laura; von Schwerin, Erik; Tempone, Raul (2018-04-13) [Poster]
We consider forward seismic wave propagation in an inhomogeneous linear viscoelastic media with random wave speed subjected to deterministic boundary and initial conditions. Considering random wave speed correspond to the inclusion of inherent uncertainty of the Earth parameters. We propose multilevel Monte Carlo simulation for computing statistics of some given quantities of interest. In this poster, we will present a case study from Tanzania to quantify uncertainty in Earth's parameters. This work provides a benchmark for the implementation of Multilevel algorithms to accelerate Seismic Inversion addressing earthquake source estimation as well as inferring Earth structure.

Why won't my insignia tablet read the charger that its pulled into?
I have my charger plugged in and inserted in my tablet to charge and the tablet won't read it too charge it.
I believe the charging port in your tablet has gone faulty. i am having same sort of trouble with my power bank.
Some mobile repair person would be able to do it. You can choose to go to him if that tablet is your primary electronic item.
In my case the power is not as important, I will be searching web and forums to know how to actually solve this issue, in order to learn something new. Even during learning, the power bank breaks apart, I literally would not care. But I believe that tablet is of importance to you, so choose the first option.
Anyways I will post here after i'll learn to handle this issue.
kaylamills212 will be eternally grateful.


Sweden's security police have been harshly criticised for letting US agents handle the extradition of two Egyptian terrorist suspects in 2001.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Swedish parliament's chief ombudsman called the operation "illegal".
Lawmakers and human rights groups have criticised the country for sending asylum seekers Ahmad Agiza and Muhammad Alziry back to their home country, where they were imprisoned on terrorist charges.
The fact that the extradition was handled by US agents has raised questions about whether Sweden surrendered too much authority to foreign officials.
Mats Melin, the parliament's ombudsman of justice, said the security police force deserves "severe criticism for its handling of the case", adding that it "lost control of the situation at the airport and during the transport to Egypt" in December 2001.
"The American security personnel took charge and were allowed to perform the security check on their own," Melin said in a report ordered by parliament.
"Such total surrender of power to exercise public authority on Swedish territory is clearly contrary to Swedish law."
At Stockholm's Bromma Airport, Swedish officials handed over the two men to American officials wearing black masks who took the two suspects into a small room and cut off their clothes with scissors, replacing them with prisoner uniforms, before placing them on a US-registered Gulfstream jet.
"The American security personnel took charge and were allowed to perform the security check on their own.
Such total surrender of power to exercise public authority on Swedish territory is clearly contrary to Swedish law"
Melin's report said "their bodies were searched, their hands and feet were fettered, they were dressed in overalls and their heads were covered with loosely fitted hoods.
"Finally, they were taken, with bare feet, to the airplane where they were strapped to mattresses. They were kept in this position during the entire flight to Egypt."
The report added that "at least some of the coercive measures taken during the security check were not in conformity with Swedish law".
However, Melin told reporters in Stockholm that he did not plan to press charges in the case.
Security officials did not immediately comment on the report.
The US agents' treatment of Agiza and Alziry was first reported by an investigative programme on Swedish channel TV4 in May last year.
The Swedish government has acknowledged that both asylum seekers had a well-founded fear of being persecuted if returned to Egypt.
However, the men were excluded from refugee status based on evidence that they were associated with Islamist groups responsible for acts of terrorism.
The same Gulfstream jet used at Bromma Airport has reportedly been used by the CIA to ferry alleged terrorists to countries that are believed to torture prisoners.
Human rights groups say the plane - which critics have nicknamed "Air CIA" and "The Guantanamo Express" - is a key piece of what they say is the US government's "torture by proxy" programme.
Agiza was convicted by Egypt's Supreme Military Court last April of belonging to and leading an outlawed group aiming to overthrow the government.
He was sentenced to 25 years on the same charge in 1999 while he was in exile in Sweden.
Alziry was released from an Egyptian prison last October.


The following are the comments made by Pope Francis in a speech delivered in Asuncion, Paraguay given on July 11, 2015 during his tour of South America. This speech was given in order to address some of distressing issues surrounding social and economic injustice that plague so many of the poor worldwide. He wished to draw the attention of world leaders to the degree to which the global economy is seriously out of balance - tilted in favor of wealth and profit resulting in a severe unequal distribution of wealth that is responsible for a great deal of human misery experienced by so many of the world's people.
