Chibok girls say kidnap by Boko Haram was accidental
3 years ago read comments by Jerrywright Ukwu
- The mass abduction of more than 200 Nigerian schoolgirls from Chibok is still a major topic in Nigeria
- The girls are currently in the custody of the Nigerian federal government
- A report by Reuters suggests their abduction might have been a mistake
A report by Reuters indicates that the abduction of the Chibok girls which attracted global attention was the accidental outcome of a botched robbery.
The report suggests some of the girls who spent three years in Boko Haram's captivity revealed this in their personal diaries which were kept secret and obtained by the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
Recalling the night of their kidnapping in April 2014, Naomi Adamu described in the diaries how Boko Haram had not come to the school in Chibok to abduct the girls, but rather to steal machinery for house building.

Unable to find what they were looking for, the militants were unsure what to do with the girls.
"One boy said they should burn us all, and they (some of the other fighters) said: 'No, let us take them with us to Sambisa (Boko Haram's remote forest base) ... if we take them to Shekau (the group's leader), he will know what to do," Adamu wrote.
Adamu was among 82 of the Chibok girls released by Boko Haram in May - part of a second wave after 21 of them were freed in October.
They are being held in a location in Abuja for what the Nigerian government has called a "restoration process."

A few others have escaped or been rescued, but about 113 of the girls are believed to be still held by the Islamist group.
The authenticity of the diaries, written by Adamu and her friend Sarah Samuel, cannot be verified, nor their intended role as the government negotiates with Boko Haram for more releases.
The diaries shed light not only on the horrors the girls endured under Boko Haram, but their acts of resistance, and their staunch belief that they would one day go home.
The girls said they started documenting their ordeal a few months after the abduction, when the terrorists gave them exercise books to use during Koranic lessons.
To hide the diaries from their captors, the girls would bury the notebooks in the ground, or carry them in their underwear.
Three of the other Chibok girls also contributed to the undated chronicles, which were written mainly in passable English, with some parts scribbled in less coherent Hausa.
"We wrote it together. When one person got tired, she would give it to another person to continue," Adamu, 24, said.
Life in the Sambisa involved regular beatings, Koranic lessons, domestic drudgery and pressure to marry and convert.
The girls' spirits remained intact, as they devised amusing and mocking nicknames for the fighters, the diaries show.
When five girls tried to escape, the militants tied them up, dug a hole in the ground, and turned to one of their classmates.
The jihadists handed her a blade and issued a chilling ultimatum: 'cut off the girls' heads, or lose your own'.
"We are begging them. We are crying. They said if next we ran away, they are going to cut off our necks," Adamu wrote.
On another occasion, the militants gathered those girls who had refused to embrace Islam, brought out jerrycans and threatened to douse them in petrol then burn them alive.
"They said: 'You want to die. You don't want to be Muslim,(so) we are going to burn you," read the diary entry.
As fear set in, the militants cracked into laughter - the cans contained nothing but water, the girls wrote.

Q: \csname does not work with #1? I'm trying to use \csname to execute a command whose name depends on a variable. If I use \csname mygametitle\tmp \endcsname it works, but if I use instead of \tmp the argument #1 it fails:

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\def\mygametitleABC{Title for ABC}
\def\test#1{%
  \csname mygametitle#1 \endcsname%

Version 2:
\testb{ABC}

\end{document}

  {%
    \def\tmp{#1}%
    \csname mygametitle\tmp \endcsname%
  }%                      ^^^ irrelevant
}

the space after \tmp is gobbled by the usual rules, and \csname mygametitle\tmp \endcsname is equivalent to \csname mygametitle\tmp\endcsname. But in
\def\test#1{%
  \csname mygametitle#1 \endcsname%
}%                    ^^^ very very relevant

you're adding an extra space. You should use
\def\test#1{%
  \csname mygametitle#1\endcsname
}%

Note that the % after the \endcsname are also not necessary.

Khitam Khatib
Name: Khitam Isamael Mohammad Khatib
Address: Betunia- Ramallah
Profession: Social Worker, and Teacher
Date of Arrest: 2 November 2020
Prison: Damon Prison
Legal Status: Administrative Detention
Current Detention:
On 2 November 2020, the Israeli Occupying Forces stormed Khitam Sa'afin's home at around 2 am, arresting Khitam and transferring her by military jeep to Ofer military base. She was subjected to a thorough search before she was transferred to the interrogation. Afterward, Khitam was transferred to Hasharon prison, tested for COVID-19, and spent 10 days in quarantine. She was initially placed in a cell with cameras before being transferred to another. Along with the other prisoners, Khitam was subjected to harassment during her detention in Hasharon. After the quarantine period, Khitam was transferred to Damon prison, where 41 prisoners are held
On 8 November 2020, the military commander issued an administrative detention order against Khitam for 6 months, ending on 1 May 2021. A confirmation session was held on 11 October 2020, where the judge claimed that the military commander issued the administrative detention order due to Khitam's active work in the banned Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, thus posing a threat to the security of the region.
The military judge claimed that the intelligence could not be disclosed in order not to harm the security of the area and kept the evidence secret. Moreover, he claimed that the issuance of an administrative detention order was to preserve the security of the area and that Khitam's release would constitute a danger, but decided to shorten the administrative detention order, insignificantly, by claiming to tighten judicial oversight throughout her detention. The military judge concluded that administrative detention is the only way to ward off danger emanating from the detainees, and, accordingly, shortened the detention order to two months, to expire on 1 March 2021.
Addameer's lawyer appealed the confirmation decision, and in return, the military prosecution appealed the judge's decision to shorten the administrative detention order for two months. The court's decision on both appeals was issued on 20 December 2020, where both appeals were rejected, so that the court maintains its decision to shorten the administrative detention order to expire on 1 March, in an insignificant manner.
Days before the expiry of the first administrative detention order, the occupation authorities renewed the administrative detention order against Khitam for a period of four months, which could be extended indefinitely. The military court confirmed her detention for the entirety of the additional 4 months.
On 31 May 2021, after the renewal of the administrative detention order for the third consecutive time, Khitam was brought before Ofer military court, which further extended her detention for continued interrogation.
Thereafter, on 8 June 2021, the Israeli military prosecutor submitted an indictment against Khitam including charges alleging her holding a position and participating in meetings in an organization deemed illegal under Israeli military orders, along with participating in public and national events.
On 22 July 2021, Khitam's administrative detention order was canceled following the indictment brought against her, thus transferring her status to an under-trial detainee. Khitam will be tried according to the indictment, pending her next trial.
Previous Arrests:
On the morning of 2 July 2017, Khitam and her family were awoken at around 2:30 AM by the sound of banging on the door. She opened it, and the Israeli Occupation Forces entered the house without explanation. The soldiers held her in a room where, after a female soldier searched her, an officer came and started asking her questions. Following a brief interrogation, she was told that they were there to arrest her. No warrant was produced, nor was a reason given. Khitam changed her clothes and said goodbye to her husband only, thinking that her daughter Amal was still asleep. However, Amal was awake and heard the soldiers ask about Omar (her brother) many times, so she thought they were to arrest him instead of her mother. Amal recounted the experience, "I did not know what to do, I was in my room changing my clothes in order to get out and see what was going on, but the arrest process took only fifteen minutes. By the time I got out of my room, my mother was already taken."
The soldiers took her to the military vehicle outside her home, where she was shackled and forced inside. Khitam reported that the vehicle stopped twice while she was in it (later she found out that they stopped to arrest PLC member Khalida Jarrar, and Mr. Ihad Masoud). More than an hour later, the soldiers informed her that they had reached Ofer military base. She was kept waiting for two hours in a small room until the prison doctor came to test her blood pressure and pulse. Another hour passed until Khitam's interrogation began. Finally, following an hour of interrogation, then they took her fingerprints, DNA and photos and she was transferred to HaSharon prison.
Khitam the activist
Khitam is known for her commitment to equality for women, and her activities as a social worker. She has been the president of the Palestinian Women Union Committee since 2010, a member of the General Union of Palestinian Women General Secretariat, and a member of the Regional Coalition for Women Human Rights Defenders in Middle East and North Africa. She has been an outspoken advocate in regard to civil and political rights for, with an emphasis on the basic rights of women. As such, Khitam has been a voice for underprivileged Palestinian women in regard to social issues on the national level. Khitam believes that the freedom of women is parallel to the freedom of the Palestinian people.
Away from her family
Amal, Khitam's oldest daughter, recounts that "the hardest part about my mother's detention is that we can't get used to her absence! She was only detained once for a day in the eighties. We have never lived this experience before, and my father's last arrest was in 1993." Amal added, "my mother has high spirits despite the detention. She fills her time in the prison by reading and teaching younger female prisoners. She has been able to adapt with her detention."
Khitam is married to Mr. Ali Fares, who has been detained by the occupation forces multiple times. She is a mother of three; Amal, Dina (who is married and has a daughter, Jana- Khitam's first granddaughter), and Omar, the youngest who is currently studying abroad.
Her husband and two daughters were allowed to visit her for the first time on 4 September 2017. During the visit, she kept asking about Jana, expressing how much she misses her and being with them. On 18 September 2017, Khitam's daughters visited her again and she told them that she spends her time reading and teaching, asking them to bring books whenever they can.
Inside the prison
Khitam is currently held at HaSharon prison with other female prisoners, who are distributed between HaSharon and Damon prisons. She is living with four other women in one room and teaches the young girls Mathematics, science and management, in order to help them pass the Secondary School Examinations (Tawjihi).
Khitam has continud her role as a mentor, and social worker inside the prison. She encourages the young prisoners to continue their education and develop themselves conditions in order to achieve their ambitions when they are released.
Khitam is supposed to be released on 1 October 2017. However, being under administrative detention makes her detention period renewable unlimitedly. Despite that, she keeps her spirits high and is ready to face the future, freed or renewed, she will remain strong.
Khitam Saafin was arrested from her home in Betunia near Ramallah. On 5 July 2017, three days after her arrest, she was brought to Ofer military Court from HaSharon prison. As a result of the hearing, her detention for 72 more hours in order to explore the possibility of issuing an administrative detention order. On 9 July 2017, a three-month administrative detention order was issued against her. It was confirmed by a military court on 12 July 2017. The military prosecution claimed that Khitam is an active member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), and requested that the court confirm the three-month order based on this accusation. Her lawyer denied such claims, stating that she is a mother of three children, has never been arrested, and that there is no logic behind such claims. The lawyer also informed the court that Khitam used to be a teacher, and that all of her activities fall within her role as either a teacher or a social worker. In addition to this, she was at no time interrogated or questioned about any of her activities or affiliations. Based on his statement, the lawyer requested the cancellation of the administrative detention order.
The judge agreed on the fact that she was not interrogated about the information in her secret file, and that it was not enough to prove the claims against her. However, he stated that the information in the secret file confirmed that she is an active member in PFLP and plays a leading role within the political party. As such, the order was confirmed.
Her lawyer appealed the court's decision. The hearing was held on 6 August 2017 where the judge confirmed that he reviewed the secret information, concluded that Khitam is a member of PFLP, and claimed that he can't release the secret information. The judge saw that Khitam's administrative detention is necessary to maintain the security of the area. He also stated that the detention period is logical and that there is no need to interrogate the detainee in regards with the secret information against her. Thus, he rejected the appeal.
Khitam's file clearly shows that the court does not legally review the administrative detention orders issued by the prosecution; but it just reviews the secret information and confirms the orders without investigating the data. Meaning that, despite the judge's statement that Khitam's interrogation did not conform the material against her, he decided to confirm the order without giving the detainee her right to defend herself and without investigating the truthfulness of the prosecution's claims.

A stamped concrete surface gives you the look and texture of lovely natural stone. Stamped concrete patterns are often designed to simulate the look of flagstone, brick, cobblestone, wood and slate. These patterns can be achieved by one of two ways: 1) pouring a new layer of concrete, or 2) applying a stamped concrete overlay over an existing grey surface. The Concrete Texturing team can create a customized stamped surface for your home or business, or restore existing stamped surfaces that need to be recolored and resealed.
Unlike pavers or natural stones, stamped concrete will not need grout replacement in the future (which prevents weeds from growing through the grout). The surface will also remain smooth and unbroken, unlike individual blocks that can dislodge or become uneven overtime. Stamped concrete is great for driveways, back patios, pool decks, ramadas, business offices, retail stores…really, anywhere there is concrete.
And of course, Concrete Texturing's superior coloring and craftsmanship ensures that your surface will be gorgeous for many years to come.


For those that are interested in both X-ray technology and astronomy, exciting things are happening to unlock the secrets of the known universe. While spacecrafts like the Hubble Telescope might be more widely know, X-rays are commonly used in space as well. This is because no X-rays can penetrate through the Earth's atmosphere. In a sense, this works in our favor, since cosmic rays are happening all the time, and we don't need to worry about any of their affects. But it makes observing these rays all the more trickier.
Cassiopeia A is the 300-year-old supernova remnant created by the explosion of a massive star. This stunning picture of Cas A is a composite of infrared (red), optical (yellow) and X-ray (green and blue) images.
Why do some stars seem to have magnetic fields still from their period of formation while other stars seem to generate new magnetic fields frequently?
Where is the source of all these cosmic X-rays? Can the source be discovered by searching with other wavelength forms (like infrared or optical) to find possible coincident objects?
So what this means is that X-ray telescopes can use this information to discover black holes, neutron stars, binary star systems, supernova remnants, stars, comets, and more. Learning about the number of photons detected, the energy of the photons, and how fast the photons are detected uncovers the secrets about the objects emitting them.
1949 – The first X-rays emanating from the sun's corona, the outer layers of the sun's atmosphere, are discovered.
1962 – The first cosmic X-rays are discovered, emanating from the constellation Scorpius.
1970 – Uhuru is launched, the first satellite dedicated to observing the sources of cosmic X-rays. More than 400 sources are discovered between December 1970 and March 1973. Throughout the rest of the decade, more and more satellites are launched not only by NASA, but by the US Department of Defense, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands as well.
1990 – Roentgensatellite (ROSAT) is launched by Germany, increasing the number of known cosmic X-ray sources to over 125,000.
1993 – Advanced Satellite for Cosmology and Astrophysics (ASCA) is launched by Japan, and will eventually be the first satellite to find evidence of the gravitational redshift due to the strong gravitational field around a black hole.
1999 – The Chandra X-Ray Observatory is launched by NASA; it is considered one of the more important satellites launched to date. It's discoveries have been countless, and have aided astronomers in theorizing how galaxies are formed, and has led to investigations related to dark matter, the abundant and invisible non-emitting or reflecting material that makes up the majority of matter in the universe.
The rate at which we find new discoveries about outer space continues to grow at a rapid speed. Within the past few months, there have been two major discoveries thanks to X-ray technology.
While researching data received by the European Space Agency's aircraft XMM Newton, scientists discovered a spike in X-ray emissions coming from two celestial objects, the Andromeda galaxy and the Perseus galaxy cluster. There is no correlation between this signal and any other known particle or atom, and researchers suggest that this finding may have been produced by dark matter.
NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) recently took an X-ray photo of the sun, visibly showing X-ray emissions produced by the sun. Studying these findings, scientists hope to discover why the sun's corona (1.8 million degrees Fahrenheit) is so much hotter than the sun's surface (10,800 degrees Fahrenheit). X-ray photos of the sun may also be able to find evidence of dark matter within the center of the sun.
As you can see, X-rays play a large role in unlocking the secrets of the universe. We've been able to prove more in the past 55 years than the entirety of human existence before that. One can only imagine how so much more is left to be discovered.

Situativity: Diagnosis in the Real World
By Susan Carr | Senior Writer, ImproveDx
There appears to be no easy solution for the problem of diagnostic error. Efforts to improve system-related issues with diagnosis have made modest gains and are ongoing.1-3 Avoiding errors in clinical reasoning has been an elusive goal. Decades of study and reflection on the cognitive process have yielded greater understanding but no magic bullet to address diagnostic error.4,5
Situativity, a group of related theories based in cognitive psychology, offers another way to address diagnostic error by reframing how we understand the cognitive process. Emphasizing the social and complex nature of cognition, situativity takes an expansive view of factors that influence thinking and learning. Beyond recognizing that external forces can affect thinking, it sees the "dynamic and reciprocal interaction of the person, environment and behavior"6,7(p161) as a creative process.
A special, open access issue of Diagnosis explores different ways to apply situativity theory to teaching, improving and assessing diagnosis.
A Holistic Approach to Diagnosis
Applied to diagnosis, situativity explores what happens inside and outside the clinician's head: medical knowledge plus the people, environment and interactions that surround and influence the process.8 "People" include, at a minimum, patients, family members and the clinician's colleagues. The environment is the community and the healthcare setting, including all of what the setting offers (or doesn't offer) in the way of infrastructure, technology and information. "Interactions" refers to connections and transactions not just between but among the forces that affect the ultimate outcome – in this case, diagnosis.
In an introduction to the situativity issue of Diagnosis, Co-Editor Mark L. Graber, MD, identifies three ways that situativity can impact the practice of diagnosis: it creates a more holistic view of contextual forces, offers alternatives for studying the diagnostic process and its outcomes, and emphasizes a broader set of interventions for improvement and error avoidance.9
Situativity's Academic Roots
The term "situativity" traditionally refers to a unified understanding of four overlapping theories of cognition focused on different aspects of how people think in real situations:10
Embodied cognition refers to the role of the human body and its systems of perception and motion. Sight, hearing, touch and smell all contribute information to clinical reasoning.
Ecological psychology adds the idea that human participants bring varying levels of capability and motivation to each project. And on the other side of the equation, the inanimate players (eg, technology) offer opportunities to be used to achieve specific goals.
Situated cognition includes all aspects of the environment – patients, colleagues, time pressures, technology, financial considerations, and more — and the interplay among these forces.
Distributed cognition further acknowledges the role of collaboration – the contributions that people and things make, beyond simply inputting information to shaping the thought process.
The technical details and terminology of these "social cognitive" theories reflect situativity's roots in academia. The particulars may be most relevant for cognitive scientists and researchers, but the concepts help reveal the richness and complexity of this approach.
Healthcare professionals do not need to be reminded that they work in a complicated, messy world. Situativity is a way to develop a deeper appreciation for the opportunities, challenges and barriers the healthcare ecosystem offers. That appreciation can help clinicians understand, use and influence people and things in their environment to improve diagnosis.
Other approaches to patient safety – sociotechnical systems, systems thinking, human factors engineering, and high reliability – also focus on elements of the environment. In its seminal 2015 report on improving diagnosis,11 the National Academy of Medicine stressed the importance of teamwork and feedback, technology, the work system and the physical and organizational environment. The situativity model adds another dimension by emphasizing the complex, nonlinear, evolving nature of the thinking and learning that takes place within real-world environments.
True collaboration involves learning from the give and take. In a process referred to as "emergence," independent inputs to a process build on each other, leading to unexpected outcomes. In other words, the outcome is more than the sum of the parts. The game of Scrabble is often used to illustrate this concept, where individual letters offer different opportunities, each word spelled on the board lays the groundwork for what others may do, and the tiles themselves present a tactile experience that for some aids the thought process. The game evolves collaboratively over time, with the end result impossible to foresee.7,10
The effects of people, environment and interactions on diagnosis are, of course, not always positive or benign. Opaque electronic interfaces, language barriers, incommunicative colleagues, burnout and countless other challenge affect clinical reasoning, often in combination. Situativity can be used as a way to dissect or understand why things may have gone well or poorly.
Practical Applications
Situativity provides a new view of how we interact and think in the world; it does not provide a handy tool kit or cookbook solutions. Applying the model to medical practice has more to do with education, mentors and leadership than goal-oriented initiatives.
There are, however, articles in the special issue of Diagnosis that provide good examples of principles from the theory of situativity in action:
In "Teamwork in clinical reasoning – cooperative or parallel play?"12 Andrew Olson, MD, and his co-authors discuss different kinds of teams used in health care and the advantages of teams working together at the level of emergence. To illustrate, they offer a scenario: A newly admitted patient describes her experience "…differently to the attending, resident, intern, student, and nurse. Each health care professional brings unique knowledge to the patient's condition which they distribute among one another through conversation which leads to a shared mental model of a given situation."12(p309) The resulting narrative is then entered into the patient's record where it can be shared with other clinicians.
In "Understanding context specificity: the effect of contextual factors on clinical reasoning,"13 Abigail Konopasky, PhD, and her co-authors report on a study of the effect of typical "distracting contextual factors" on resident and attending physicians. In what they describe as a robust experimental framework and a large sample of participants, they found that distracting contextual factors affected diagnosis for one case (angina) but not the other (diabetes). They determine that "…neither case content nor contextual factor is the sole predictor of clinical reasoning performance."13(p262)
In a separate Diagnosis article, "Towards better metainterpretation: improving the clinicans's interpretation of the radiology report," Kevin M. Johnson, MD, urges referring clinicians to talk with radiologists for a better understanding of imaging studies. Johnson casts radiologists in the role of consultants, able to help add information, promote learning and prevent error. Referring to clinicians who rely solely on their own interpretation of a brief radiology report, without consulting the image itself or the radiologist, Johnson warns, "This road can be hazardous if traveled alone"14(p1) – a sentiment in keeping with the lessons of situativity.
And finally, a letter to the editor in the special issue of Diagnosis applies the situativity model to diagnostic challenges posed by the pandemic. In "Clinical reasoning in the wild: premature closure during the COVID-19 pandemic,"15 James G. Boyle, MD, and his co-authors develop a (fictionalized) scenario that includes a number of wrenches COVID-19 can throw into the works of the diagnostic process: redeployment to an unfamiliar setting and equipment, awkward personal-protective equipment, patient anxiety, and more. The authors note that COVID-19 "affords a unique opportunity to look beyond the mind of a single clinician and consider how an unprecedented constellation of contextual (situational) factors might impact clinical reasoning performance and lead to error."15(p177)
Describing the scenario's "ultimate message,"15(p178) they go on to say that diagnosis is "an ensemble process requiring collaboration with a diverse cast of actors and props who feature in an inherently complex sequence of narrative episodes."15(p178) Another message from situativity is to not always cast complexity as a problem. There are times and circumstances, including the pandemic, when the complexity of the ensemble – acknowledging all of its risks – can be used to improve the diagnostic process and result, as well as the experience of those involved.

Con Ops should be more police like, and seek out people causing trouble.
This sound good on it's surface but... It's not really a great idea. Con Ops tend to be really busy already, because they happen to have a convention to keep running. They seriously can't squeeze in taking on policing activity as well. Not even FLARE, those charged with security, can promote themselves to 'policing'. They're not detectives, they don't have policing powers, and they can not see everything and be everywhere.
It is, in fact, up to con attendees to report things to FLARE when things get out of hand. The idea that Con Ops should be policing is frankly just an excuse to soothe the consciences of those who see underage drinking, people spiking others drinks, and other dangerous idiocy; yet do nothing to stop it. If you see these things going on in the con, it's not just a good idea to report them, it's a duty! As it says in the 'Attendee Code of Conduct' you agreed to when buying membership, "we cannot address a problem unless we know about it".
To clearly restate. It is Further Confusion's general policy that underaged drinking, and public lewd behaviour, is not tolerated at the convention. If you see it happening, report it to Con Ops or FLARE. FLARE can not be everywhere to see and stop this, and relies on the co-operation of convention attendees to assist them.
FC is covered by Event insurance, but this is limited in what it covers. Because FC is a public event, there can be no guarantee that someone will damage your equipment. this very unfortunately happened to one DJ, and there was a decision to require DJs using their own equipment to sign a waiver or use only FC owned equipment. There were some communication problems, and some people thought this meant only FC owned equipment could be used. Yes, a professional night club would have sorted this out from the start, but FC is a volunteer organisation, and DJ events are not a core focus of the convention. FC strives to be professional, but it relies on it's attendees and volunteers to support that.
Further Confusion should handle creating an temporary autonomous zone in the same way as Burning Man.
Further Confusion is not a temporary autonomous zone. Further Confusion is not a social experiment. Further Confusion is not Burning Man. Further Confusion is a Family Friendly Fandom Convention. If you want a social experiment in a temporary autonomous zone, go to Burning Man. I'm sure that Burning Man would even welcome a 'furry' area, however I doubt fursuiting would be practical.
However, Further Confusion is a fandom convention, and a family friendly one. This is, I'm afraid, mutually exclusive with the 'Burning Man' concept of a temporary autonomous zone. While 'adult materials' are tolerated in the dealers room, and adult art show, both of which are access restricted; and room parties are accepted, Further Confusion does not turn the hotel into a 'separate community'. The Convention is still in San Jose, not 'Doubletree city'. If you are looking for a temporary autonomous zone in FC, you will not find it.
You will find a great convention tho, which does have social events in it's programming, but also tries to provide an even mix of everything in the fandom. FC is an event which people in the 'Furry Fandom Community' attend, it is not really an attempt to create a separate community of it's own.
At the end of every FC, is an event called 'Hiss and Purr', at which you can all raise questions, issues, complaints, or even praise. If something went wrong at the convention, this is the best place to bring it up. Especially if you have ideas on how to fix it Even better if you want to volunteer to help out to fix it!
And now that I've got all that drama out of the way, I'd like to bring in something a bit positive. Yes, it's that sparkling gem of a positive article about the fandom in the news media. Something that's growing more and more common these days. Read it for yourself, Good Times Magazine's impression of Further Confusion and the Furry Fandom.

Learning all there is to know about depositing and withdrawing money from your online casino account is one of the fundamental keys to being able to experience all of the fun and excitement of a brick-and-mortar casino in your own home. Here is an in-depth guide to the secure casino banking methods available at the best online gambling sites for Australians.
Is it safe to gamble with real money casinos?
All of the online casinos recommended by BestOnlineCasinos.net.au are completely secure and reputable, ensuring any funds transferred to and from your account will arrive at their destination untouched. The sites we endorse have a high focus on player protection and responsible operator conduct, and exceed the minimum standards set by the internet gaming industry.
What are the most secure online casino banking methods?
There are a multitude of ways that players can transfer funds to and from their accounts and, while they may seem complex at first, most are actually very simple. With so many options, there is guaranteed to be a payment method to suit every player's needs.
The most popular way to deposit and withdraw money from your casino account is via credit and debit card. While some people may feel unsure about giving away their card details online, strict regulations enforced by all of our recommended casinos ensure your money is safe and that your personal details are protected.
Credit and debit cards are among the easiest ways to deposit funds. Simply enter your details and the amount you would like to transfer, and you will have instant access to the money through your account. With no waiting times, you can start playing all of your favourite real money casino games straight away.
All of our trusted casinos accept Visa and MasterCard, while many also allow deposits from lesser-known cards such as Postepay, Maestro, Solo, JCB, Switch and Visa Electron.
Bank transfers are among the simplest ways to deposit fund into your online account. Unlike credit cards and debit cards, which are often subject to strict transaction limits, they also allow players to deposit and withdraw larger sums of money.
The downside to the bank transfer method is that it can take around three working days before the funds appear in your account. However, some banks offer the option to speed up the transfer process for a small cost. This faster method, known as a direct bank transfer, is supported at most Internet casinos.
If you are looking for a way of depositing funds that does not require handing over your personal financial details, pre-paid credit cards and vouchers are ideal.
One of the most common pre-paid deposit methods is Paysafecard. This system allows people to exchange their money for a unique and secure code which can then be used online, just like a credit card, to top up funds in your betting account.
Paysafecard vouchers can be purchased from participating retail outlets right around the world, and many online casinos accept them as an instant deposit method. However, because each voucher has a different code, they can only be used once.
Another pre-paid payment option accepted by some of our recommended casinos is Entropay. This system gives players an easy and reliable way to deposit and withdraw casino credits through the use of a pre-paid virtual Visa card.
These cards can be replenished with money at places such as service stations, news agencies and various other retail outlets. They can then be used like a standard credit or debit card online, as well as through EFTPOS and ATM withdrawals.
Electronic wallets, otherwise known as e-wallets or Web wallets, provide another way to deposit money into your online casino account without sharing your personal and financial details with the casino.
They generally work through the customer setting up a secure account which can then be used to transfer funds across to from their credit or debit cards. Once this cash is in the e-wallet, it can then be transferred instantly to a casino account.
Common e-wallets used by online gamblers include Neteller, Skrill and ecoPayz.
Neteller: One of the leading e-wallets in the industry, Neteller is a fast and efficient way to transfer money into your online casino account, ensuring all your details are secure so that you can deposit and withdraw funds with the peace of mind that your finances are going to remain safe. Regulated in the UK, Neteller creates a one-time only card information when customers place funds into their e-wallet account which can then be placed into the site to add funds in the same way as a standard credit or debit card.
Skrill: Formerly known as Moneybookers, Skrill was founded in London and is one of the main e-wallets used by online gamblers. Online casinos transfer funds instantaneously into your account when depositing through Skrill, allowing you to start gaming as soon as you like. You can also use this method with many casinos to withdraw your winnings, with the money going into your Skrill account, once again eliminating the need to share your personal details directly with the casino itself.
ecoPayz: ecoCard, as it is also known, works much like the other electronic wallets we recommend. Established in 2000, it was one of the very first secure Web wallets on the market. ecoPays remains one of the most trusted ways to move money online and is widely accepted at AUD casino sites.
Our recommended online casinos also give their players the opportunity to fund their accounts through various wire transfer systems, the most popular method being POLi (short for 'Pay OnLine').
Open to residents from Australia and New Zealand, POLi is a secure and confidential real-time debit system which deposits the cash into your account straight away. It operates completely within your financial institution's Internet banking website, meaning that neither the online casino nor POLi have access to any of your personal information.
Another commonly used online payment system is Trustly. It is essentially the same thing as POLi, except it is also used in countries outside of Australia.
Paypal, possibly the most well-known and widely used online cash transfer system on the market, is not accepted by any of our recommended online casinos as the service does not allow Australians to use it for online gambling transactions.
One of the least popular forms of depositing cash into your online casino is with an e-cheque. This is essentially filled in the same way as a standard cheque, which your financial institution will then forward on to the casino. There is a delay with this method, taking a number of business days for the cash to be cleared into your account.
For those players still living in the 20th century, limited online casinos also accept traditional bank cheques as a way of adding funds to your account. This completely eliminates the need to enter any of your bank account or credit card details online.
The downfall to depositing by cheque is that it takes a number of days to actually arrive through the mail. It must then be processed and cleared, which means the money may not be credited to your betting account until several weeks after you posted the cheque.
With a bit of luck, you will have the opportunity to withdraw funds quite often. Most real money casinos prefer to make payments via bank transfer or EFT, but other methods are also available.
Operators have worked hard to speed up processing times for casino withdrawals in recent years. It used to take at least 48 hours for a player to receive their winnings, but several leading casino sites now offer same-day payments.
Many, but not all, of the deposit options listed above are also accepted for cashing out. Prepaid cash solutions such as Paysafecard are incompatible with withdrawals, for instance, as the payment codes expire after use and cannot be topped up.
To make things simpler, many players withdraw winnings by using the same payment option which they used to deposit. This is not a golden rule, however, and it is really up to the individual and what works best for them.

Remembering GENE WILDER
Michael Allen August 29, 2016 Remembrances
The Comedy Genius, 1933 – 2016
Wilder as Willy Wonka (1971)
Notorious already in its own time, 2016 is sure to go down as one of the worst years on record, particularly in the arena of celebrity deaths. Every year is plagued by the loss of beloved entertainers and statesmen, but this year has been particularly harsh, with the opening of the gates heralded by the passing of the seemingly immortal Lemmy Kilmister and compounded by those of the similarly eternal David Bowie, Alan Rickman, Prince, et al. The buzz among fandom rose to a din; who could possibly be next? And just when it seemed like we might make it through the summer, the claws of fate came to snatch Gene Wilder away.
Wilder was a class act par excellence, cherished the world over for his legendary roles in The Producers, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Young Frankenstein, and Blazing Saddles, as well as his classic hits with Richard Pryor. In Pryor, he found his perfect comic foil; in Gilda Radner, his perfect life companion. And though he retreated from the public eye following Radner's death in 1989, his stature remained undiminished, every role finding fortune with each new crop of film fans.
Wilder's passing symbolizes something greater than itself, though, the immeasurable losses we've suffered of late signify nothing less than the slow death of the monoculture, the very last of our shared experiences. A generation from now, celebrity deaths will muster only an iota of the grief on display here among the minuscule fanbase afforded to each, and none of them will have the worldwide impact of those that we've seen this year.

Manzini may be in the spotlight for his role as Mjekejeke on Mzansi Magic's popular soapie The Queen but he prefers to keep his private life out of the spotlight.
Still he and his wife are inseparable and the star told TshisaLIVE that he owes a lot of his happiness and peace to her influence in his life.
"She is really shy but such an amazing person. An angel. She is always listening and offering advice. I am grateful because she has seen me at my worst and still supports me. She has helped me through many dark days."
Manzini recounted an experience where he was struggling with "some of the usual frustrations of the industry" and was contemplating possibly giving up. He said his missus sat him down and gave him some perspective.
"This (acting) is my passion and she knows that. I was really down and she knew just what to say. She asked me why I was doing it (acting)' why I wanted to do it and if it made me happy. She told me to follow my heart but I knew it was her way of telling me that I could do it'" he said with a laugh.
Thank goodness malume listened to his missus because can you imagine life without Mjekejeke?
"I am really glad to be on The Queen. I have been on other productions in my career but this honestly feels like a breakthrough role for me. It is so great to be part of the show and to play (the role of) Mjekejeke.
And all those questions about his on-screen wife Petronella?
"My wife doesn't mind it at all. She laughs with me and goes along with it."
Nkuna has a strong marketing background.

Q: Pandas subtract two data frames by non-numeric values I have two data frames like :
df :
    a       b         c      d
0  12   "vik"   [9,  18]   "SS"
1  13   "Rah"   [10, 18]   "YY"

df2 :
    a       b         c      d
0  12   "vik"   [9,  18]   "SS"
1  13   "Rah"   [10, 18]   "YY"
2  14   "Dil"   [11, 18]   "ZZ"

I want to eliminate the rows from df2 which are in df. I have tried
df2.sub(df, fill_values=0)

which gives me an error TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'str' and 'str'.
My desired output is like :
    a       b         c      d
0  14   "Dil"   [11, 18]   "ZZ"

Any helps are appreciable.

A: Use merge with left join and parameter indicator=True, then filter by query and remove column _merge:
df1['c'] = df1['c'].apply(tuple)
df2['c'] = df2['c'].apply(tuple)

df3 = (df2.merge(df, how='left', indicator=True)
          .query('_merge == "left_only"')
          .drop('_merge', axis=1))

df3['c'] = df3['c'].apply(list)
print (df3)
    a    b         c   d
2  14  Dil  [11, 18]  ZZ

A: This is one approach using concat and drop_duplicates
Ex:
import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({"a": [12, 13], "b":["vik", "Rah"], "c":[[9,  18], [10, 18]], "d":["SS", "YY"]})
df2 = pd.DataFrame({"a": [12, 13, 14], "b":["vik", "Rah", "Dil"], "c":[[9,  18], [10, 18], [11, 18]], "d":["SS", "YY", "ZZ"]})

df3 = pd.concat([df, df2], ignore_index=True)
df3["c"] = df3["c"].apply(tuple)
print(df3.drop_duplicates(keep=False))

Regina "Reggie" Nadelson ist eine US-amerikanische Journalistin und Romanautorin, bekannt durch ihre Krimi-Reihe um den New Yorker Cop Artie Cohen.

Nadelson wurde in einer säkularen jüdischen Familie geboren und ist im Greenwich Village von Manhattan, New York aufgewachsen. Nach dem Absolvieren der örtlichen City and Country School und der Elisabeth Irwin High School, studierte sie am Vassar College Englisch im Hauptfach, wechselte später nach Stanford in Kalifornien, wo sie in Journalistik graduierte.

Nadelson wuchs in einer säkularen jüdischen Familie auf und beschreibt sich selbst heute als solcher Art.
Sie selbst veröffentlichte mehrere journalistische Arbeiten über die säkulare jüdische Kultur in Amerika, unter anderem für die BBC-Radio-Show-From Our Own Correspondent.

Nadelson arbeitete später in London für den Guardian und anschließend für den Independent. Sie schrieb auch für BBC-Dokumentarfilme. Sie veröffentlichte Artikel in der US-Ausgabe der Vogue sowie in mehreren anderen in London erscheinenden Zeitungen und Zeitschriften.

Why do you need to join in?
Today's world of mushrooms is a fast-paced, high technology industry , that requires a constant stream of new inputs. One of the problems for growers is that this new input is sometimes hard to achieve, where do you look for it? By following a professional training, by professionals, you can bring your own growing to the next level. Both Mark den Ouden and John Peeters have spent a lifetime in between mushrooms, and both guys are working as consultants and trainers in various parts of the world as we speak. They shared a number of years together at C point, and have taught mushroom growing before, guaranteeing a perfect interaction between the two of them and the participants of the training. It will be held for a maximum of 18 people. In this way it is possible to create a lot of interaction and discussions between the participants and/or the trainers. The location for the training is the Horst area, in the Netherlands. The everyday practice of the participants will be the foundation for the theory within the course; companies will be visited as well, like composting plants, growing farms, and others. More information you find with this link!


Did you know that Mahatma Ghandi and Martin Luther King Jr. at earlier points in their lives attempted suicide? How can it be that two of the most compassionate people on the planet endured such suffering in their lives? One answer has to be that perhaps there is actually an upside to suffering.
What does this mean? When we intentionally bring a warm awareness to our pain and put aside our lenses of judgment that the pain itself is bad, alchemy occurs that turns the experience into something entirely different. It is the experience of belonging, being cared for, of being loved. This is self-compassion.
Some of us feel like we have too much compassion, we're overly in touch with the pain and the world and that drives a depressed or anxious mood.
My definition of true compassion includes the philosophy of the serenity prayer which brings balance to it.
Some call this experience of having compassionate balanced awareness a form of equanimity. That you can hold the pain within an open heart, but you awareness if far more vast than the pain and so you don't get pulled emotionally into it, but instead let it rest and work itself out within your warm attention.
The next time you feel an emotional pain or see the emotional pain of someone else try remembering that if it were not for that pain, there would be no compassion and then like Ghandi and Dr. King, focus on what you CAN do. That may be anything from slowing down and putting your hand on your heart, to smiling at someone, to donating time or money to a movement you feel drawn to.
We are active participants in our own health and well-being and the health and well-being of this world.

A declaration of our thanks and gratitude.
Life transitions always deserve recognition. Our life changes in an instant when someone we love dies. Everything is different, except the love. The love doesn't go anywhere. The sweet mystery is that love survives – it takes refuge in our hearts, weaves itself into the fabric of our minds, and rests deeply in our bones.
Although grief is a very personal experience, it is one that is familiar to everyone. Give a voice to your sorrow with services and rituals that honor the spirit of the deceased and respect their values and beliefs. A personalized service will respect the needs and wishes of those in attendance as well.
Create a sense of connection with those close to you and the deceased as you begin to heal from the loss. A non-denominational ceremony allows family and friends to honor the life of a departed loved one, especially when there is no specific spiritual community. Together we'll create a memorial for the appropriate sized gathering with a time to share special memories of moments passed.
In a loving manner, this gathering becomes a Celebration of Life and helps bring some closure to the passing of a loved one.
As a Celebration of Life celebrant, I paint a sensitive portrait of your loved one by selecting meaningful readings, poetry, and music — as requested; along with writing the life biography or eulogy. These elements are woven together to nourish all who assemble to pay tribute. Material for the service is gathered during a personal meeting, where I listen carefully, learning about your loved one's character, spirit and passions. I go on to spend hours creating an honest and heartfelt ceremony, and speak to others to discuss their participation, if that is indicated. The ceremony is presented to you beforehand, to confirm accuracy in every detail, as well as to ensure that the entire ceremony is a true expression of your loved one's life and your wishes.
A celebrant funeral or memorial ceremony is designed to be intimate, and real – in a caring, considerate way that pays close attention to the lifetime we honor, along with those who are left behind to find their way. As I officiate, I read from a binder with warmth and compassion. After the last words are spoken and the silence is breathed in when the ceremony comes to a close, the divine spark remains lit. The flame that continues to burn in your heart can never be taken away – your loved one's lasting legacy belongs to you.
Hillcrest Memorial Park – Ask for Jammie.
Various restaurants with banquet rooms.
The venue that you choose for your family member is really a choice that represents the passing loved one. Some people prefer the chapel at the funeral home which is fine…perhaps your loved one was an author or did something special for the community in which case perhaps one the Jackson County Library meeting Rooms would be a great fit. Or maybe you just don't like the "feel" of the Funeral Home Chapel…then perhaps a hotel meeting room or a banquet room.
During our first meeting while you are interviewing me. We will discuss what YOU want and those wishes of your passing loved one. We will discuss how spiritual or religious you want the service to be. If Uncle Joe never attended church then we shouldn't say he did and we should make his closest family feel bad because he didn't.
I have been asked many times if so-and-so was in Heaven. If I knew the person well and I knew their lifestyle (not if they attended church everyday or gave 10% to the church). And I am able to say with absolute certainty I will tell them I believe their loved one was in Heaven enjoying their reunion with Jesus and any loved ones that went before them.
Besides all of that between you and me…I am not their judge. I have no idea what their last moments were with God.
I am happy and honor if you would consider me to share in your loved one's final celebration of their life! I always encourage family members to speak and say whatever they like at the service.
Not different from a wedding and I understand that this is a time when you will be grieving…money is always an issue when we decide to "hire" a professional to officiate over a love one's celebration of life service.
In the Rogue Valley officiants charge between $75 to $1200 to officiate your loved one's service. This is a large spread and usually is based on experience or what the individual deems as his experience being superior to another. I work off a gift. Basically, you will decide what you want to pay and pay via donation. You have enough to think about at this time than to be burdened with an over confident officiant who thinks that their hour is worth a thousand dollars.
I don't do this because I can't find a job…I do this because I enjoy it.


What does this mean for you? Well, it means that no matter who you are, if you drive a vehicle, it's at risk of being stolen. It also means that the best way to prevent losing several thousand dollars worth of property is to take the necessary precautions to ensure that your vehicle is safe and secure at all times.
Not locking your car, even when it is at home or in your garage, can result in stolen documentation, garage door remotes, or even vehicles. Leaving vehicle or home windows open, even during the hot summer months, may result in burglars being able to quickly enter and exit without ever being noticed. Placing keys in easily visible or obvious locations could lead to those keys being taken by home intruders, and used at later dates.
Understanding the data associated with car theft can help you better prepare your own property to withstand car thieves. We'd like to showcase nine interesting Australian car-theft statistics, and provide a little bit of insight along the way.
53,954 households were victims of vehicle theft in Australia in the 2013/2014 financial year3.
When compared to many other countries, Australia has a very low number of annual car thefts (the United States had an estimated 699,594 vehicle thefts in 2013 alone4). On the other hand, 53,954 still amounts to hundreds of millions per year in losses. Those that fail to recognise this fact put themselves in danger of becoming complacent, and those who act complacently in regards to vehicle security often make things much simpler for potential thieves.
All vehicles 25 years old or newer are required to have immobilisers5.
Immobilisers are special security devices that are installed in vehicles. These devices make it impossible to manually activate a car engine without the use of a specific key. This effectively eliminates 'hot-wiring' as a vehicle theft method. So how is it that over 50,000 vehicles were stolen in 2013/2014? The answer is very simple: Thieves are now targeting car keys first. Car owners who leave their keys in easily-accessible locations may be increasing their likelihood of having a vehicle stolen.
Theft due to unlocked cars has become such a problem that police in some areas are now issuing fines6.
Unlocked cars may also be a tempting target for thieves, even when those cars are fitted with immobilisers. This is because many thieves will attempt to steal things such as garage door remotes in an effort to get into an owners home. Once inside, they can then search for car keys, as well as other valuables. Thieves may also enter an unlocked car in search of personal identification or official vehicle documentation, which can be used in identity-theft related crimes.
An estimated 53 passenger and light-commercial vehicles are stolen each week in Australia for conversion into scrap metal2.
Many car owners assume that because the cars they drive are neither new nor flashy, that they needn't be concerned with potential car theft. The reality is that not every car that is stolen is being considered for resale; many stolen vehicles are taken simply because they can be dismantled into valuable scrap metal. Owners of older or used vehicles who fail to take the same precautions as owners of new vehicles put themselves in danger of losing a car, and never being able to recover it.
It is estimated that approximately 21 passenger and light-commercial vehicles are stolen and exported from Australia each week2.
Of those vehicles that are not converted into scrap, many don't even remain in Australia after being taken. When this occurs, the chances of recovering the vehicle in question become practically nonexistent. Vehicle owners who rely on recovery methods rather than on prevention methods may find that there is nothing left of a stolen vehicle worth recovering.
Assuming that each stolen car contained an average of tank of petrol, car thefts in Australia amounted to an additional $500,000 in fuel-related losses in 2013/20142.
Although the price of petrol has been declining in recent months, there are few who would be willing to claim that fuel is 'inexpensive.' And while half a tank of petrol (or even a full tank of petrol) may not make that much of a difference when one has already lost a several-thousand-dollar vehicle, the cost of lost fuel does add up quickly. Those who don't take adequate precautions against vehicle theft often stand to lose money in ways that aren't covered by basic insurance policies.
Of all types of vehicles, stolen motorcycles have the lowest rate of recovery, with only 43 per cent of reported thefts being recovered7.
Although the recovery rate of stolen vehicles in Australia is fairly high (approximately 75 per cent of stolen passenger and light commercial vehicles are eventually recovered), motorcycles are much more difficult to recover. As such, motorcyclists who fail to take precautions to defend against theft (such as installing motorcycle alarms, locking the ignition, and locking the bike to some stationary and immovable object) are much less likely to have a stolen vehicle returned to them.
2.9 percent of Australian households experienced theft of property from a motor vehicle in 2013/20148.
Even among vehicle owners who use immobiliser devices and keep their keys in safe, secure locations, there are those who experience vehicle break-ins. Why? Well, often it's because they make the mistake of keeping valuable objects in the vehicle. Wallets, electronic devices, jewellery, and even clothing and jackets can be attractive prizes to thieves. Unlocked and unsupervised cars which contain such items are easy targets, and some thieves will even be willing to break a window to get to some of the more expensive items. Those who leave valuables sitting visible in their cars often discover that even when a thief can't steal a car, he or she will often settle for stealing from a car.
About 47 percent of stolen vehicles are stolen from either the home of the owner, or from the home of an friend of the owner9.
People tend to assume that when a vehicle is at home, it's safe. This is simply not true. In fact, the reason that such a high percentage of vehicles are stolen from homes may well be that owners fall into a false sense of security, and fail to take precautions. Car theft can strike anywhere; when vehicle owners forget that, they set themselves up to become victims.
Keep the car locked. We touched on this briefly above, but your car's door locks are the first, and often the most vital theft deterrent system that your vehicle has. Breaking into a locked vehicle requires time and know-how, and as such, many thieves prefer to simply move on until they can find something more accessible. Don't let your car be the easy option for a criminal who doesn't know how to pick a lock; always lock your car, even when it's parked in front of your home or even in your garage.
Keep all of your windows completely closed when the car is unattended. Much like unlocked doors, open windows (even when only opened a small amount), provide thieves with an easy point of access to the inside of your vehicle. It's much easier to pry open a window that is partially opened than it is to open one that is completely closed.
Never leave your keys inside of your car. If there's one thing more attractive to a car thief than an unlocked door, it's a vehicle with the keys inside. Once a criminal get's a hold of a car's ignition key, there's really not much else that can be done to prevent the criminal from escaping with the car. Refrain from hiding any keys—even spare keys—in your vehicle, because thieves with any real experience will know exactly where to look for them.
Don't keep important vehicle documents in the car. Many of us tend to keep our vehicle titles and registrations in our cars for easy access. However, a thief who gains access to these documents will have a much easier time selling your vehicle. Instead, keep your title filed away someplace secure—such as your home or office—and keep your registration information on your person (such as in a purse, handbag, or wallet).
Keep your emergency brake engaged whenever your car is parked. Some thieves prefer to tow a vehicle away rather than brake into it and attempting to drive it away. An engaged emergency brake makes towing much more difficult.
Park in well lit areas. The last thing a thief wants when attempting to break into a car is to rouse attention. To this end, try never to park your car in overly-shaded areas, or away from street lamps at night.
Engine immobilisers. Immobilisers are theft deterrent systems that cut access to one or more vehicle systems (such as the starter, ignition, or fuel supply), and which automatically arm when a vehicle is disengaged. Immobilisers provide an added defence against thieves who might attempt to 'hot wire' your car.
Bonnet locks. Some thieves aren't after you car; they're only after certain parts of your car. Criminals who gain access to the inside of your bonnet can help themselves to a number of vital and valuable components, many of which (such as the car battery) can be quickly and easily removed. A bonnet lock is a mechanism that is mounted externally on the car, and basically acts as a deadbolt for your engine compartment. And, in addition to reinforcing your vehicle's existing latch, it also serves as a visual deterrent, warning thieves away before they choose to commit themselves.
Wheel locks. These are basically civilian versions of the wheel locks used by the police to immobilise suspended vehicles. The lock clamps down securely around the vehicle's tyre, making it impossible for the car to be moved. Visually, wheel locks function very well, forcing all but the most determined thieves to admit defeat. Unfortunately, wheel locks may be just as much of a hassle for vehicle owners, who will have to take the time to engage and disengage the lock by hand before and after every drive.
Steering-wheel locks. Functioning in much the same way as wheel locks, steering-wheel locks stretch across a car's steering wheel, securing it in place so that the wheel cannot be turned. The lock is engaged and disengaged with a key, and required a bit less effort to use than the locks that fit around vehicle's tyres.
Car alarms. Car alarms are probably the most widespread theft deterrent systems, and often come standard in various vehicle models. Alarms do little to actively prevent car theft from taking place, but instead are designed to scare thieves away by calling attention to the theft.
VIN etching. Every legally manufactured car is assigned a unique identification number, which is then displayed on the vehicle interior (such as on the dashboard, or on the inner door frame). This makes it much easier for authorities to track and recover stolen vehicles. However, vehicles that are stolen and then dismantled in order to have their components sold off individually don't have the same protection. By having your car's VIN etched into the individual components, you can extend VIN protection to every part of your vehicle.
GPS tracking. Stolen cars that feature GPS trackers are often recovered within hours of the theft. This is because GPS trackers give real-time location updates, which can be relayed to local law enforcement agencies. Some newer vehicles are being manufactured with GPS trackers built in, but for other car's these devices have to be purchased and installed, and often require the purchase of an on-going service plan from the provider.
Kill switch. Having gained a certain amount of notoriety after being featured on a number of police reality television programs, vehicle kill switches are devices that allow owners to shut down their vehicles remotely, such as in the event of a theft. Once activated, these devices prevent the vehicle in question from being able to operate until it is deactivated by the owner.
Simple preventative measures, such as those outlined may mean the difference between keeping your car, and having it taken from you. Make sure you have a Car insurance policy if the worst does happen.
At the same time, understanding the data associated with car theft can help you better prepare your own property to withstand the rorting attempts made by car thieves.

Kansas in Brief
Two arrested after pursuit
LEAVENWORTH — Two people were taken into custody following a pursuit in Leavenworth, according to a spokesman for the Leavenworth County Sheriff's Office.
The pursuit began at 11:38 a.m. Monday in the 900 block of Sherman Avenue. A deputy with the sheriff's office attempted to stop a 2015 Kia Soul. The deputy recognized the passenger in the vehicle as someone who had warrants for his arrest, according to Leavenworth County Undersheriff Jim Sherley.
The deputy pursued the vehicle at speeds ranging from 40-45 mph. At some point, the passenger got out of the vehicle and allegedly fled on foot. The deputy then pursued the passenger on foot and apprehended the suspect, a 28-year-old Leavenworth man, in the 1400 block of Cherokee Street.
The suspect was arrested for an allegation of obstruction of an official duty and for two existing warrants.
The driver of the Kia Soul allegedly drove away from the scene when the passenger exited the vehicle. Authorities located the 24-year-old Leavenworth woman a short time later and took her into custody for an allegation of fleeing or attempting to elude a law enforcement officer, according to Sherley.
