My sister revoked my "Black" card a long time ago. She said that I had absolutely NO rhythm. I could not argue, but that is not why I am not a dancer. Not really.
It's because I tend to lead.
In many types of partner dance, lead and follow are designations that need to be respected and adhered to. Traditionally, the male leads and the female follows. The lead guides and initiates changes and transitions. The lead also chooses the steps and the direction. When the follower matches the lead, the dance is smooth, coordinated, enjoyable to participate in and beautiful to behold.
But when the follower tries to lead? Oh, that is a different story.
The church, the people, want to lead. When we read verses 7 and 8 we learn the real problem – "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you." They want to have things their way rather than yield to God. They want to choose the steps and determine the direction. They want to lead while God follows.
It doesn't work that way in dancing. It doesn't work that way in life.
How do we draw near to God? Just as the dance manuals tell us Be are aware of Him and His communication. Study to know His Word and His ways. Maintain a centered readiness watching for and ready to obey His cues. Listen and expect to hear Him speak to you. Physical contact is the most effective means. Meet with Him in Prayer.
THIS WEEK determine to become a better dance partner. Begin by knowing your Lead, your Heavenly Father. Trust His lead (James 4:6) and develop a centered readiness for His cues (James 4:7) watching and being ready to obey (Luke 11:28, 1 Peter 1:14, Deuteronomy 11:1, 2 Corinthians 10:5, John 14:15, Romans 2:6-8). Then let Him lead, and enjoy the dance!

NOTE: THIS IS NOT MY WORK. I WANTED TO SHARE THIS POWERFUL WORD FROM PROVERBS 31 MINISTRIES.
"Hey Y'all. Melissa Taylor here.
As I watched the news unfold about the attacks in Paris, I felt my heart crumble. Tears instantly flooded my eyes. I was sad, but I was also filled with fear. How can one not be scared when such horrible things happen and they are completely out of our control?
Thank you Jesus, I needed that one too.
We might be fearful, but we don't have to be ruled by fear. So, as your friend and leader in this OBS study, I want to offer you some encouragement and REAL HOPE amidst all that's going on in the world.
The best way I know to do that is through the sharing of God's Word and prayer.
Let's unite to #PrayForParis, for France & our world.
Thank you @SJMCalligraphy for this beautiful graphic.

A seemingly odd, out-of-the-blue and definitely in-your-face kinda question wasn't it?
Jesus put this question to His disciples that He might have their sense of Him. They had believed in Him, they had become His disciples and they had followed Him. But that was not enough; they needed to confess Him.
Why? Because sometimes what we believe and what we say do not align. Or as a friend says, "They don't line up!" The danger in that is that people sometimes cannot hear what you are saying because they are watching what you are doing.
Jesus expected that His followers would know more about Him than any others and that they would be ready, willing and able to confess their faith giving a reason for their hope in Him (1 Peter 3:15).
He expects the same of us, His followers, today.
It is not enough that we believe or follow; we must confess and be ready to give an account for our faith in Him. We must share His truth at all times and, as Francis Assisi said, use words if necessary.
If necessary? Well, how else would we share His truth if not with words? In our actions, our deeds, our appearance, our relationships, our choices… Everything about us should testify of who He is, even our words – if necessary.
THIS WEEK make every effort to be fully cognizant of who you say He is. Examine your words but also your actions and interactions. Do they testify of Christ? Consider what needs to change. Pray for His leading, and be quick to hear and obey!

Chances are you have seen the American makeover television show, What Not to Wear. The show featured participants nominated by friends, co-workers, or relatives or sometimes individuals who had nominated themselves. The nominee was secretly videotaped then brought to New York City for a week of evaluation, shopping and hair and make-up styling AFTER getting a chance to watch their secret footage. The show always ended showing a party in the participants' hometown, where she would show off her new look to friends and family who would all, of course, comment on how impressed they were and how happy she looked. Most importantly, from then on, the participant knew what not to wear!
Well, at least on her outer body.
Let's face it, sometimes we struggle with getting dressed. I seriously cannot be the only one who stands before a closet full of clothing (remember, I have a bedroom converted to a closet) and thinks, "I have nothing to wear!" Nor am I the only one who faces an event (special program at church, class reunion, Thanksgiving dinner with family…) and feels compelled to go shopping for something to wear. And somebody, other than me, has a couple of tags still hanging on some things that have been in the back of the closet for at least a few weeks, if not months. Or years!
Yet, we tell ourselves we have nothing to wear. We are convinced we have nothing to wear. We honestly believe that we need to go shopping, borrow an outfit or pass on going to the event – because we have NOTHING to wear! We tell ourselves that lie and swallow it hook, line and sinker even when the truth – that God has provided what we need stares us in the face. And, in many cases, He has provided a whole lot more!
If we can so easily swallow a sweet little lie about not having anything to wear, even while staring evidence to the contrary in the face, what other lies can we readily accept?
Before we continue, this is a good time to remember that Satan is the Father of Lies (John 8:44). Well, surely he is too busy to be bothered with something as simple as getting you to believe a lie about what is or is not in your closet? No, he's not. Because it's not really about your clothes at all. Satan will do whatever he has to get you to distrust, doubt, shrink away from God and His Word.
Philippians 4:19 (ESV) says that God will supply your every need. Check the Scriptures before that passage and those that follow and, unlike those little sale circulars that come in the mail, there are no exclusions and no fine print. You won't find somewhere else in the Bible that God says something contrary – "I will supply your every need EXCEPT…" No every need means every need. Satan does not want you to know that, to understand that, to believe that, to stand on that! But he is smart; start with the seemingly little, insignificant, unconnected lies. If he can get you to believe those (I don't have anything to wear. Hmm, maybe God didn't really mean He would supply my every need?), He can get you to believe some even bigger lies.
Don't believe me? I won't take the time here to go into detail, but just look back at Eve's encounter with Satan in the Garden of Eden. He was sneaky, crafty, strategic. He wasn't blatant, overt and in Eve's face. He just cast a stone or two of doubt about who God was, what God said and what God would or wouldn't do. You know the rest.
So what not to wear? Don't, like Eve, take on the lies of Satan. He wants you dressed in a coat of defeat with a shawl of weak and flimsy resolve tied about your neck, carrying a backpack or handbag of insecurities, standing in shoes of doubt, pulling on a hat of confusion.
The What Not to Wear participant gets a Visa card and goes shopping. She buys the foundation of a new wardrobe and is taught how to dress from that point forward – how to build on that foundation for a lifetime of smart and appropriate dressing. It wouldn't be enough to simply tell the participant what not to wear and not to teach her what to wear – and how and where to shop for it!
Ezekiel 16:10-13 (ESV): " I clothed you also with embroidered cloth and shod you with fine leather. I wrapped you in fine linen and covered you with silk. And I adorned you with ornaments and put bracelets on your wrists and a chain on your neck. And I put a ring on your nose and earrings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head. Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was of fine linen and silk and embroidered cloth.
Do you get the lessons of these Scriptures? Do you understand what they teach us? We are children of the one true King. We are join heirs with Christ. We are chosen. We are Holy. We are His!
No matter what Satan would try to tell us, no matter what he would put in our path to try to make us stumble, no matter what weapon he pulls from his arsenal…it is no match for what the power and authority we have in our Father. And here's the clencher, Satan really has only one weapon – lies! While your Father has equipped you with many weapons and full armor, the key piece that you need to fight Satan is the belt of truth! Not your truth (which might not be true – remember, you didn't have anything in your closet to wear), but God's truth. This belt accentuates every figure and compliments every outfit; without it, you might as well be naked. No well-dressed, Christian would be caught without it. Put it on. And never take it off!
THIS WEEK clean your closet. On What Not to Wear, the participant must bring her old clothes with her to New York. They are tried on and sorted. Occasionally one gets to keep a piece or two found to be acceptable. Most end up in the trash can. As Christians we are to test all things and hold only what is good (1 Thessalonians 5:21). We discard or throw away everything else. What lies has Satan told you? Lies about yourself? Lies about a friend? Lies about a situation? Lies about a family member? Lies about a relationship? Test them against God's Holy Word. Keep that which is good and toss the rest!

In my state, North Carolina, the Wage and Hour Act does not require mandatory rest or meal breaks for employees over the age of 16. Additionally, there is no law requiring employers to give smoking breaks.
However, most wage and hour employers offer such.
Not once, but at least a couple of times during the day if an individual works eight or more hours. And most do not require employees to "clock out" or "go off the clock" for these breaks. Bottom line – most employers give their employees breaks and pay them to take them!
Why? Because most companies realize that for one to do his or her best work, he/she needs periodic mental and physical breaks – even if just for a few minutes. The same is true for stressful and salaried jobs. Long-distance truck drivers must document their breaks. Likewise airline pilots and air traffic control employees. Surgeons' work hours versus off-work hours are routinely monitored.
But some of us are "Energizer Bunnies" going from sun up to sun down 24-7.
Research shows that breaks are critical not only to our productivity but also to our health and our happiness.
Scripture shows breaks are critical to our spiritual health and growth! That is if we take a God Break!
"After He had sent the crowds away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray; and when it was evening, He was there alone" (Matthew 14:23 NASB).
"But Jesus Himself would often slip away…and pray" (Luke 5:16 NASB).
And this is a practice that needs to become habit for us, too.
If we want to fulfill God's vision for our lives, we must continually hear from God. If we want to be more like Jesus, we must spend time with Him. If we want to be all that God calls us to be, we must feed regularly at His table.
In the book named after him, The Prophet Habakkuk wrote (v2:1 NLT), "I will climb into my watchtower …." meaning that he would go to a place away from distractions, away from people, away from busyness, away from his own thoughts. And this is what we need to do – find a quiet place away from the distractions of life and take a God Break.
This Week: Begin making it a habit to press the pause button and take a God Break. Psalm 46:10 teaches, "Be still, and know that I am God." Take time to "be still" before God and alone with God. Use this time to align your heart and mind back to God – to His Word and to His plan for you. You may need to begin with a reminder – a sticky note on your bathroom mirror, an alarm on your cell phone, a note penciled in your day planner. Remember, it doesn't have to be a LONG break, but it needs to be an intentional, focused and private break – just between the two of you..

How to Create Empty Class in Python?
In Python, you can create an empty class by using the pass command after the definition of the class object, because one line of code is compulsory for creating a class. Pass command in Python is a null statement; it does nothing when executes. The following is an example of an empty class object in Python.
In the below Python program, we will create an empty class customer. However, we can still define the objects outside of the customer class and would be able to use in our Python program.

iMEDITOONS
ANTAGONISER
Opinion: Do not be strangled by red tape but also not by rigidity of views
Dr Neeraj Nagpal
Dr Devi Shetty's article in The Times of India brings out many contradictions. Though what he has achieved along with Karnataka Government through "Yashaswini" scheme to bring low cost healthcare to the masses is commendable but it would be too simplistic to assume that Narayana Hrudayalaya (now Narayana Health) and its affiliated hospitals have taken care of 100% healthcare needs of the people of Karnataka. To assume that similar scheme in larger form like asking all mobile users to pay Rs 20 per month will take care of all healthcare needs of the nation is assuming too much. For one this Rs 20 per person per month will net Rs 3,600 crores only, which is slightly more than 10% of the current healthcare budget.
When a person of the eminence of Dr Devi Shetty gives a statement that healthcare needs can be met without spending money, our politicians and government babus cut out the article, frame it and put it up in their offices to show when some rational folks ask them why their healthcare spending is so low.
Let there be no doubt in the matter; Insurance in any form is not the answer. Government has to spend from its own budget to develop more government hospitals where free or subsidised treatment can be given to the masses. The amount of pilferage of funds that occurs in the name of healthcare insurance is mind-boggling. It is an open secret that people find ways to siphon off the insurance money which is then shared by the patient / insurance company / hospital / and the omnipresent local politician. Those in real need, the ones who die unattended on roadside, those without relatives, without clout or muscle or without resources to even reach a hospital do not benefit from the rigmarole of healthcare insurance.
What is needed is a hospital where the poorest of the poor who walks in without any identification proof and who cannot read or write is taken care of whether or not he has any relatives accompanying him. This can only occur in good government hospitals of the likes of PGIMER Chandigarh and AIIMS and so many others across the country. Unfortunately, the Government wishes to abdicate its responsibility to provide healthcare to its citizens and is pushing desperately to pass on this responsibility to the private sector healthcare either by force or inducement. Those who are rooting for the private sector participation in otherwise a totally government duty see an opportunity to make money and have no intention to provide healthcare to the masses.
Increasing healthcare spending from abysmal 1.1% to a more realistic 5% (if not 10%) is a non-negotiable demand of MLAG (Medicos Legal Action Group) and of all those who sincerely wish to improve the situation in the country. Increased budget will increase the number of jobs available for doctors to work in the Primary Health Centres where as on date only 2,600 vacancies exist for MBBS doctors. Healthcare indices do not change drastically with the work done by cardiothoracic surgeons. It changes with the grassroots medical professionals who can advise ORS to diarrhoea patients and provide proper guidance and advice instead of the myths and misconceptions prevalent in the rural households.
I agree, however, that the Medical Council of India (MCI) needs to come out of its straightjacket and permit those with experience and training to do the specialists' work and these guidelines need to be communicated to courts that are currently restraining those with even 20 years of experience in cardiology from practising cardiology because they are "only MD Medicine". I also agree totally with Dr Shetty's views that medical teachers should be recruited from the private sector and need not be full time employees of medical colleges. The criterion of who can be a medical teacher needs to change drastically. Increasing postgraduate seats is a good idea but not by reducing the quality of the postgraduates.
Dr Devi Shetty's views on AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy) practitioners being given training for six months to prescribe modern medicines bothers me the most. But then since Narayana Hrudayalaya has been providing Diploma/Certificate in Emergency Medicine to AYUSH doctors already for some time, these views do not surprise me. I have tremendous respect for indigenous systems of medicine.
If available manpower is the problem what is wrong with the 1 lakh plus trained Foreign Medical Graduates who have been trained in Modern Medicine but cannot practise medicine in India. Their only crime is that they did not pay Rs 60 lakh as fee to Indian private medical colleges where they did not get admission due to reasons other than merit. They saved nearly Rs 45 lakh by doing their MBBS outside India but then our politicians who own most of the private medical colleges feel cheated of these Rs 60 lakh. Directing the MCI to punish these Foreign Medical Graduates by holding an exam so stringent that even AIIMS graduates would find it difficult to clear, the politicians have improved the sales of MBBS seats in their colleges.
And now they are wanting a Homeopathic graduate who has been taught and trained that increasing dilution of the medicine increases its potency to use increasing doses of antibiotics to treat resistant infections. A person who has no training in the principles of modern medicine is being forced to practise modern medicine. If Dr Devi Shetty's argument is to be assumed correct then is he also proposing these AYUSH graduates be given postgraduate seats in Modern Medicine training programmes because that, according to him, is where the deficiency lies.

I agree with your opinion. Those people who support (especially the politicians and other so called/ self proclaimed opinion makers ) the idea that people practicing AYUSH should be recognised for modern medicine practice after a short course should get their treatment from them only.

what can I do to "unfocus" the button?

A: you can use  autofocus  property in HTML.

autofocus: focus on the element once the page is loaded

add it to a dummy element in your HTML in order to un focus the meta-button.
for example:
<label autofocus> </label>

---------------- Another Solution -------------------
you can use blur() method in javascript, after the view is rendered.
inside AfterViewInit
@Component({
    selector: 'my-cmp',
    templateUrl: `my-cmp.html`
})
class MyComponent implements AfterViewInit {
  @ViewChild('buttonsList') buttonsList;

  ngAfterViewInit() {
    // execute blur on the first child of the list.
    this.buttonsList.nativeElement.firstChild.blur();
  }
}

in your template:
<div #buttonsList *ngFor='let item of items'>

Justin Bieber compares Chris Brown to Michael Jackson, Tupac Shakur
Sara M Moniuszko
Published 10:51 AM EDT May 4, 2019
Justin Bieber is coming under fire for defending Chris Brown, who was charged with felony assault for beating then-girlfriend Rihanna the night before the 2009 Grammys.
In an Instagram post late Friday, the "Sorry" singer shared an image that had the phrase "The Legendary Equation" at the top and included photos of Michael Jackson, Tupac Shakur and Chris Brown.
"MJ plus 2 Pac equals CB," the image reads.
Bieber explained his reasoning behind sharing the image in the post's caption.
"everyone wants to wait til people die To give them the credit they deserve. I'm calling it now when CB passes away after a long full life, you will miss what you had in front of you the whole time … trust me watch you will see," he wrote. "the people who have over looked this mans talent because of a mistake he made.. you need to reevaluate! Love you @chrisbrownofficial"
Timeline: 10 years after Chris Brown's Rihanna assault, his rap sheet has grown
Related: Rihanna fans furious after abusive ex Chris Brown comments on her risqué Instagram photo
Though the image garnered praise from some – including some fellow artists such as Sean Kingston, who wrote, "big facts lil bro CB legendary" – many of Bieber's followers weren't pleased with his message.
"Domestic abuse aint a mistake, especially when its done repeatedly. Im sick to my stomach, definitely unfollowing you, mad disappointed," one person commented.
"What if Rihanna was Hailey (sic)? Would you say the same?," another person commented, referencing Bieber's wife, model Hailey Bieber.
"it wasn't a mistake. it was a crime," another wrote.
"Why don't you just add r Kelly to this list of 'lEgEnDs,' " another said.
"i love you justin but violence is not a mistake its a choice," another wrote.
"this is so wrong on so many levels," another said.
After Brown's 2009 assault charge, he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five years of probation and 1,400 hours of community service. The incident left Rihanna bloody and bruised, and photos of her battered face were leaked to the public.

Historical Dictionary of the Civil War and Reconstruction
William L. Richter
Scarecrow Press, 17.05.2004 - 968 Seiten
The importance of the Civil War and Reconstruction in the history of the United States cannot be overstated. There was a very real possibility that the union could have been sundered, resulting in a very different American history, and probably, world history. But the union was held together by tough and determined leaders and by the economic muscle of the North. While not always a period to be proud of, it did have higher goals and compelling ends. This one-volume dictionary, with more than 800 entries covering the significant events, persons, politics, and economic and social themes in the U.S. Civil War and Reconstruction, is a research tool for all levels of readers from high school and up. The extensive chronology, introductory essay, dictionary entries, and comprehensive bibliography introduce and lead the reader through the military and non-military actions of one of the most pivotal events in American history. Substantial coverage is given to the time that followed the Civil War: Reconstruction. This was a period construed in many different ways by the individuals involved, many of whom had little concern for the impact of their acts on others, and even fewer who were interested in the plight of the newly enfranchised blacks, for whom the war had supposedly been fought. While the states were once again 'united,' many of the postwar efforts divided different segments of the population and failed to achieve their goals in an era too often remembered for carpetbaggers and scalawags, and Congressional imbroglios and incompetent government. No matter how one looks at it, the Civil War continues to affect the politics, constitutionalism, and societal norms of the United States in an irrevocable way, and it probably always will. It was a very personal war, not fought by machines, but by men, affecting countless Americans who have one or more Civil War veterans hidden in their family trees. It's a war modern enough to be relevant to today's military interests, yet gentlemanly enough to be the last of the great romantic wars.

Juan Diego Academy is a private, Catholic school in Mission, Texas, United States. The school is located in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brownsville.

History
Juan Diego Academy was founded in 2011 after several years of planning and fundraising. The original school buildings were the site of St. Joseph and St. Peter Seminary. In 2018, the United States government announced its intentions to acquire land near the school from the Brownsville Diocese through eminent domain in order to build additional border fencing.

How Osinbajo Detected P&ID Fraud Against Nigeria – UK Judge Explains
A United Kingdom judge says the timely observation and intervention of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo was instrumental in how the Process and Industrial Development Limited (P&ID) deal with Nigeria became known and identified as a fraudulent endeavour.
Sir Ross Cranston of the UK High Court of Justice Queen's Bench Division Commercial Court explained that the vice president was a regular fixture all through the review process.
Cranston noted that Osinbajo's "fraud on the nation" statement in June of 2018 worked in Nigeria's favour.
A brief overview of a deal gone wrong
On January 11, 2010, British firm P&ID inked a gas supply and processing deal with the Ministry of Petroleum Resources on behalf of the Nigerian government.
P&ID was expected to build and operate an Accelerated Gas Development project in Adiabo in Odukpani Local Government Area of Cross River State, going by the provisions of the contract.
On its part, Nigeria was expected to provide natural gas from Oil Mining Leases (OMLs) 123 and 67 operated by Addax Petroleum; and supply this gas to P&ID which the company would now refine into lean gas capable of powering Nigeria's fragile electricity grid.
An initial volume of about 150 million cubic feet of gas per day was expected to be supplied by Nigeria.
This was expected to rise to about 400 million cubic feet per day during the 20-year period of the contract.
The contract never got off the ground.
P&ID accused Nigeria of not fulfilling its part of the bargain after negotiations were opened with the Cross River State government for allocation of land for the project.
P&ID claimed the failure to construct the pipeline system to supply the gas "frustrated the construction of the gas project, thereby depriving it of the potential benefits from over 20 years' worth of gas supplies."
In 2012, P&ID dragged Nigeria to court, alleging breach of contract.
Nigeria argued before the tribunal that "the failure of P&ID to acquire the site and build Gas Processing Facilities was a fundamental breach and that no gas could be delivered until this has been done."
In August of 2019, P&ID won its case against Nigeria.
Initially awarded for $6.6 billion, the contract sum would rise to $10 billion due to accrued interest since 2013.
According to the New York Times (NYT), government officials said the contract was signed while late President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua was critically ill and Goodluck Jonathan was acting president.
On Thursday, September 3, 2020, Cranston granted Nigeria's application for an extension of time and relief from sanctions.
The case could now return to arbitration based on new evidence, or both parties will now settle out of court.
The vice president's intervention may have saved the day for Nigeria.

Justia › US Law › Case Law › Iowa Case Law › Iowa Supreme Court Decisions › 1972 › State v. Gray
State v. Gray
199 N.W.2d 57 (1972)
STATE of Iowa, Appellee, v. Harry GRAY, Appellant.
June 29, 1972.
*58 Jerry L. Jones, of Maurer & Jones, Ames, for appellant.
Richard C. Turner, Atty. Gen., Richard N. Winders, Asst. Atty. Gen., and Donald L. Smith, County Atty., Ames, for appellee.
Defendant was charged by county attorney's information with shoplifting in violation of section 709.20, The Code, 1966. Specifically, he was charged with aiding and abetting another in shoplifting and carrying away certain power tools and other merchandise from Larson Lumber & Grain Company, of Slater, Iowa, on or about November 19, 1969.
Following entry of defendant's plea of not guilty, the matter was tried to a jury and a verdict of guilty was returned. Judgment was entered on the verdict and defendant was sentenced to imprisonment in the penitentiary for a term of not to exceed five years. We affirm the trial court.
On November 19, 1969 defendant, in company of one Knauss, one Evans, and two girls, drove to the town of Slater in Story County. During the ride, Knauss indicated he was short of funds, and defendant said, "There is a lumberyard here", to which Knauss responded, "O.K." The automobile which was not the property of any of its occupants was being operated by one of the young women in the car. The operator of a grocery store testified the automobile was parked across the street from her place of business, and she identified defendant and Knauss as two of the occupants of the automobile. She saw Knauss and one of the girls walking toward the lumberyard, and also saw defendant waving to Knauss and the girl. Knauss picked up some merchandise, placed it under his jacket; then made his way back to the automobile, but was pursued by an employee of the lumberyard. He got into the automobile and drove rapidly away, later returning to the vicinity and picking up all of his companions. A short time later the automobile was stopped by the authorities and all of the parties were still in the car, together with the property stolen from the lumberyard. All were thereupon taken into custody.
*59 Defendant appeals, alleging three errors as grounds for reversal, namely:
1. The trial court erred in overruling defendant's motion for directed verdict for the reason there was insufficient evidence of aiding and abetting.
2. The court erred in overruling defendant's motion for directed verdict for the reason that the testimony of the accomplice was not sufficiently corroborated.
3. Trial court erred in instructing the jury by implying in one of the instructions that there was complicity in fact between the witness Knauss and the defendant.
I. We deem the first two assignments of error so interrelated with each other they need not be treated separately. Defendant contends there was insufficient evidence of aiding and abetting and that the testimony of the accomplice Knauss was not sufficiently corroborated.
With respect to defendant's claim there was insufficient evidence of aiding and abetting to support a conviction, we view the evidence in the light most favorable to the State. The finding of guilt by the trier of fact is binding on us unless we are satisfied it is without substantial support in the evidence or is clearly against the weight thereof. State v. Daves, 259 Iowa 584, 585, 144 N.W.2d 879, 880, and cases there cited. The testimony of the accomplice is sufficient prima facie to justify submission on the theory of aiding and abetting; and the testimony of the operator of the grocery store in Slater, putting defendant in the area of the commission of the crime in company with the actual perpetrator thereof, behaving in a manner showing some connection with the incident, the subsequent arrest of defendant in the company of the perpetrator, and in possession of the articles stolen, is, in our judgment, sufficient corroboration of the testimony of the accomplice. Evidence corroborating the testimony of an accomplice may be either direct or circumstantial, and need not be entirely inconsistent with innocence. State v. Jennings (Iowa, 1972), 195 N.W.2d 351, 357. Whether there exists corroborative evidence adequate to meet the requirements for corroboration is a question of law for the court, the sufficiency thereof remains a fact issue for the jury. State v. Jennings, supra, 195 N.W.2d at 357.
We conclude trial court was correct in submitting the matter to the jury on the record made, and find no merit in defendant's first two assignments of error.
II. Defendant in his third assignment of error complains the trial court erred in instructing the jury in instruction number six by implying there was complicity in fact between the witness Knauss and the defendant.
We have examined instruction number six and find it is a verbatim statement of the law as is set out in Uniform Criminal Jury Instruction Number 501.8. It is no more nor less than an abstract statement of the principles of law involved in the case. It defines the word "accomplice", informs the jury that under the laws of Iowa a defendant cannot be convicted of a public offense upon the evidence of accomplices unless their testimony is corroborated by other evidence tending to connect the defendant with the commission of the offense charged, and that such corroboration is not sufficient if it merely shows the commission of the offense or circumstances thereof. It further informs the jury that such corroboration may be by either direct or circumstantial evidence and cautions the jury that if it found any witness offered by the State to be an accomplice, defendant could not be convicted of the offense charged against him upon the testimony of such an accomplice alone unless there was other evidence tending to connect the defendant with the commission of the offense, and such evidence must be such as tends to single out the defendant as one of the persons who committed it.
We find instruction number six to be a correct statement of the law, and find no *60 error on the part of trial court in submitting it to the jury.
We find no reversible error, and affirm the trial court.
All Justices concur except McCORMICK, J., who takes no part.

Q: How to load .wasm file in React-Native? I have been trying to load a WebAssembly (.wasm) file - generated C++ code compiled to WebAssembly by Emscripten - in a React-Native app.
This is my code to fetch the .wasm file:
import fs from 'react-native-fs';

if (!global.WebAssembly) {
  global.WebAssembly = require('webassemblyjs');
}

const fetchWasm = async () => {
  const wasm = await fetch(`${fs.MainBundlePath}/calculator.wasm`);

  console.log(wasm);
  // Returns: Response {type: "default", status: 200, ok: true, statusText: undefined, headers: Headers, …}

  const mod = await WebAssembly.instantiateStreaming(wasm);

  console.log(mod);
  // Throws: TypeError: Failed to execute 'compile' on 'WebAssembly': An argument must be provided, which must be a Response or Promise<Response> object
};

I tried everything in the Google search results I could find, but nothing worked so far. Unfortunately, the most related questions were unanswered.
Is there anyone who knows what I am doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A: There is one thing to be aware when wanting to load wasm :
Your webserver must report .wasm mime type as "application/wasm" , otherwise you won't be able loading it.

A: I assume still React-native JS runtime JSC still not support WebAssembly in Android build
the issue is still open
https://github.com/react-native-community/jsc-android-buildscripts/issues/113
Another way is to use Webview but I assume it is not  you are expecting.

/ Thames Valley
/ Effectiveness
/ Detailed Findings
Thames Valley PEEL 2018
How effectively does the force reduce crime and keep people safe?
Thames Valley Police is effective at reducing crime and keeping people safe. But it needs to improve how it investigates low level crime.
Read more about Effectiveness
The number of crimes the force records has increased since our 2017 inspection, while the number of offenders brought to justice has decreased. It needs to understand why this has happened and make sure that investigations are consistently well supervised, and that staff have the skills and support to conduct high quality investigations.
Overall, the force is good at protecting vulnerable people and works well with partner agencies to achieve this. But the increase in the number of domestic abuse crimes the force has recorded since our 2017 inspection has not been matched by increased arrests or offenders brought to justice. The force doesn't use protective powers for victims of domestic abuse as much as many other forces. It needs to understand and address these issues.
In 2017, we judged Thames Valley Police to be good at preventing crime and tackling anti-social behaviour. In 2016, we judged the force to be good at tackling serious and organised crime (SOC).
Questions for Effectiveness
How effective is the force at preventing crime, tackling anti-social behaviour and keeping people safe?
This question was not subject to detailed inspection in 2018/19, and our judgment from the 2017 effectiveness inspection has been carried over.
How effective is the force at investigating crime and reducing re-offending?
The force should improve how it allocates crime to ensure that investigations are allocated to appropriately trained officers.
The force should ensure that it makes progress with those cases that should, on balance, be taken forward – even if the victim does not support the investigation – and that officers understand the importance of addressing risk and undertaking proportionate investigation and safeguarding activity.
The force should reduce the backlog of digital investigations and ensure that all forensic evidence is analysed within timescales that are consistent with the pace of investigations.
The force should ensure that there is regular and active supervision of less serious investigations to improve quality and progress.
The force should ensure that it is fully compliant with the Code of Practice for Victims of Crime with victim contract details consistently recorded and updated.
We set out our detailed findings below. These are the basis for our judgment of the force's performance in this area.
Investigation quality
The force doesn't yet have the structures, staff and skills it needs to investigate all crime effectively. Serious crime is dealt with well and the force continues to invest in this area. But investigations into less serious matters aren't always as good. Not all staff are fully trained for their roles. Some investigations are delayed too long while officers wait for evidence to be forensically examined. We also saw that inexperienced staff were dealing with some difficult or time-consuming investigations.
In our 2017 effectiveness inspection, we found that the force needed to improve how it investigates crime. It subsequently carried out a detailed review of 400 investigations. It has used what it learned from this to create an improvement programme (Operation Endeavour) and the assistant chief constable responsible for crime investigation oversees this programme. This is a comprehensive piece of work designed to improve the way the force investigates crime. We are encouraged by the steps the force has started to take and some improvements are already taking place.
During our fieldwork, we found that the force has increased the number of skilled investigators since our last inspection. It has employed additional police staff investigators (PSIs) and reduced the number of detective vacancies to nearly single figures. It has done this by encouraging officers to become detectives and by launching a direct entry route into the force at detective level. The force now needs to make sure it has the capacity to properly train and accredit these new staff. We heard from some trainee detectives that they didn't have tutors or access to assessors to validate their skills.
Before this inspection we did a file review of 60 completed investigations, and during our fieldwork we reviewed a sample of live investigations. While we assessed 50 of these 60 investigations as effective overall, we had some significant concerns.
Our observations during the inspection confirmed many of the findings of our file review and highlighted some issues that the force needs to improve.
Investigations by criminal investigation department (CID) officers and specialist teams, such as the domestic abuse investigation unit (DAIU), are of a high quality. The CID and specialist team supervisors set out plans for their investigations and consistently review their progress.
For investigations of more serious crimes, there were delays in obtaining video evidence. The force doesn't train all its investigators in how to take this kind of evidence. We heard that this can lead to delays in beginning investigations into offences that involve vulnerable victims.
In our 2017 effectiveness inspection, we found that the supervision of less serious crime needed to improve. Despite the force providing some training to supervisors, investigations into less serious crimes are still not carried out as well as investigations by CID officers and specialist teams. Nine of the 60 files we reviewed prior to our fieldwork weren't properly supervised, and in five cases this led to poor investigations. We saw further evidence of this during our fieldwork, when we saw cases where more direct and intrusive supervision at an early stage would have led to a better outcome. These included offences related to domestic abuse and indecent exposure.
We also found that officers were only completing victims' care contracts sporadically, and weren't always updating the crime report. This can mean that victims aren't automatically referred to victim support when they should be. This is another area we highlighted for improvement in our 2017 inspection.
Our file review identified missed opportunities to follow up key lines of inquiry (such as not tracing and interviewing witnesses or suspects, or not examining CCTV). We also identified instances where no investigation took place because victims didn't support further action, even if further inquiries could have been made. In total, we identified 13 cases that raised concerns that were important enough for us to bring them to the force's attention. Of the 13, six needed immediate attention. In some cases, we felt that the investigation had been finished too quickly, and there were further lines of inquiry that should have been explored. In others, cases had been closed without dealing with wider risks, such as the offender posing a risk to other victims.
During our fieldwork, we found examples where inexperienced officers had been allocated complex or time-consuming investigations. For example, we found separate occasions where inexperienced officers were investigating indecent images, a series of indecent assaults and a wounding. The officers dealing with these had no experience of managing these kinds of offences and evidence. For instance, the indecent images case required examining a phone with 25,000 images, some of which were indecent, and the whole process was extremely time consuming.
Staff who investigate crime told us that the time taken for forensic evidence to be received causes delays to investigations. One officer received notification of a positive forensic identification eight months after they had completed a burglary investigation as 'undetected'. We heard that delays of four months and more for this sort of forensic work weren't uncommon. In other cases, we heard of lengthy delays for phones or computers to be examined. As a result, officers have found it difficult to keep some victims engaged with the criminal justice process. In other cases, offenders have been at liberty for longer before being brought to justice.
Use of body-worn video (BWV) was identified as an area for improvement in our 2017 effectiveness inspection. We were pleased to see that officers are now making greater use of this equipment to gather evidence when attending reports of crimes. The situation should further improve when each officer is issued with their own BWV equipment later this year. Officers are now more aware that they should be using this equipment to capture early evidence.
The force is aware that it needs to improve how well it investigates less serious crime. In the summer of 2017, it created investigation hubs made up of dedicated groups of officers investigating less serious crime. Just before our inspection, the force replaced these hubs by combining its response and investigation functions into a new response and investigation role. These arrangements are supplemented by a smarter resolution hub made up of officers in each policing area. Staff in the resolution hubs review each crime and then allocate it to a relevant officer or deal with the investigation themselves. It is too early to tell if the changes will bring about the intended improvements, although staff we spoke to were positive about them.
We visited two of these hubs and found that the type of work they are dealing with is appropriate to their role. But we also found that on occasions they weren't paying enough attention to victims' possible vulnerability. When we asked what their role was, staff in the hubs highlighted the importance of their work in reducing demand on frontline staff. The force should make sure that the need for efficiency doesn't lead to demand being supressed or get in the way of properly investigating crime or protecting vulnerable people.
The force recognises that officers wait too long for evidence to be retrieved from digital devices. It is recruiting 12 additional digital technicians to give a quicker service. While this is a positive development, it won't address the delays in other types of forensic examinations that staff raised with us.
Catching criminals
The force has improved its processes for locating and arresting suspects. However, the force is bringing fewer offenders to justice than it has in the past. Its approach to disclosing evidence to the defence is good and staff have been well trained in this area.
In our 2017 effectiveness inspection, we said that the force needed to make sure it routinely conducts checks on foreign nationals who have been arrested. This process is now in place. Immigration enforcement officers work full-time in the force intelligence bureau (FIB) and provide a link between the two organisations. Officers automatically check databases that contain the details of foreign offenders before the force releases an arrested foreign national.
Our previous inspection said that the force needed to improve how it keeps local police commanders up to date with information about wanted people. It has created a fugitive intelligence team (FIT), which acts as a central point dealing with all types of offenders who need to be brought to justice. It prioritises those who pose the greatest risk to the public and gives information to local policing areas, which is included in local briefings. We also conducted a review of action taken in respect of wanted people. We found that information is promptly circulated on the PNC.
The force has invested in disclosure training for staff. This includes the National Centre for Applied Learning Technologies (NCALT) package, which most staff have completed, and additional face-to-face training where needed. New recruits have basic training in which evidence needs to be recorded and disclosed to the defence. The force's CID has a full-time disclosure officer who liaises with the Crown Prosecution Service.
Over the last four years the number of crimes recorded has increased, yet the number of offenders being brought to justice has decreased. This lends weight to the findings of our reviews of completed and ongoing investigations, which suggest that the overall quality of some investigations has reduced.
For instance, between 1 April 2016 and 31 March 2017, the force recorded 138,000 crimes, of which offenders were taken to court in 17,000 cases. The force dealt with a further 7,500 cases in other ways, such as with a caution. In the same period a year later, the force recorded 149,000 crimes, but took only 14,000 offenders to court and dealt with just over 5,500 in other ways. The improvement in processes for recording crime since our crime data integrity inspection in 2017 may partly explain why recorded crime has increased. But it doesn't explain why the number of offenders being brought to justice has fallen.
After legislation changed the way in which police bail is applied, the force didn't strike the right balance between the use of pre-charge bail and the released under investigation (RUI) option. Previously, it was possible for police to, in effect, hold a person indefinitely by extending the bail period every 28 days. Following the introduction of the Policing and Crime Act 2017 c. 3, only an officer of inspector rank or higher can authorise police bail, so normally a suspect will be released without bail if they are not charged. Now, this period can only be extended once, and a superintendent officer must authorise it. A magistrates' court is responsible for any further extension.
Since then, the force has used RUI too often, rather than using bail conditions to protect victims and control offenders. The force recognises that this is a serious issue. It has taken the following steps to increase the appropriate use of bail and to make sure it properly manages and oversees offenders who are RUI:
It has set up a force-wide panel to monitor the use of bail and RUI.
It reviews outstanding RUI cases to ensure they are properly dealt with.
The force performance group tracks how often bail is used, and the group meets each month to monitor the force's performance in key areas.
The force provides local police commanders with information about the use of bail and RUI in their area, to help them make sure investigations are properly managed.
The force has raised awareness among officers of how to use the legislation, to improve their knowledge and expertise. It emphasises that they should always consider pre-charge bail.
These measures are already making a difference. During the inspection we heard from staff about recent changes in how they are expected to approach bail considerations and noted that this power is now being used more frequently. This indicates that the force is now making better use of pre-charge bail to manage offenders and protect vulnerable people, such as victims of domestic abuse.
Summary for question 2
How effective is the force at protecting those who are vulnerable from harm, and supporting victims?
The force should make sure that it fully understands why the proportion of arrests and charge summonses outcomes for domestic abuse offences has reduced, and whether its high use of scheduled appointments to take reports of domestic abuse is a factor.
The force should reassure itself that proper use is made of pre-charge bail and ancillary orders such as domestic violence protection orders and Clare's Law to protect victims of domestic abuse.
The force has an effective approach to identifying those sharing indecent images online but should make sure it is proactive in reducing the threat through the best use of intelligence.
Understanding and identifying vulnerability
The force has a clear definition of vulnerability and a strategy for protecting vulnerable people. It communicates this strategy effectively, and officers and staff display a good understanding of it.
The force has a very good understanding of which kinds of people are vulnerable to harm and how widespread this is in the force area. It has developed this with other organisations such as local authorities and mental health professionals. The force has used this understanding to create its vulnerability reduction strategy. But its inefficient call handling system makes quickly identifying which callers are vulnerable and recording the risks to them harder.
Staff in the contact management department are trained in the threat, harm, opportunity and risk (THOR) decision-making model. They use this to assess risk and give advice to vulnerable callers to help them stay safe. They use information that the force holds about these callers and their own knowledge of vulnerability to make this assessment. However, this process is time-consuming, as the computer system doesn't automatically provide all relevant details, such as whether the caller has been victimised before. The force is due to start using a new contact management system in Autumn 2019, but until this is in place call handlers will have to keep looking for some of the information they need by hand.
We also observed that call handlers don't record their risk assessment on the incident log. This could result in important information being missed, which could cause problems if incidents need to be reprioritised. It also makes supervision of decision making more time-consuming. The force needs to make sure that these assessments are recorded properly, so that risks to vulnerable people aren't overlooked.
The force provides excellent information about vulnerability on its intranet site. It has been innovative in training its staff to look for and deal with different types of vulnerability. The Hidden Harm campaign has successfully raised awareness of types of hidden vulnerability. For instance, the number of so-called honour-based crimes the force records are among the highest in England and Wales. And figures supplied by the force indicate that the number of modern slavery crimes it recorded rose by 9 percent in 2017/18.
The vulnerability reduction strategy sets out a plan for how to prevent vulnerable people from being victimised. It looks at each of the 12 types of vulnerability identified by the College of Policing, drawing on the work the force has done with partner organisations. It focuses on the actions the force is taking, and plans to take, to prevent harm and victimisation.
Responding to incidents
The force generally responds quickly to incidents involving vulnerable victims to keep them safe. It answers emergency calls from the public promptly and is improving how quickly it answers non-emergency 101 calls. It has improved how it assesses the risks to vulnerable people, which our 2017 effectiveness inspection identified as an area that needed improvement.
In our review of completed investigations, we found that the time taken to respond to members of the public who need assistance is generally satisfactory. Out of the 60 investigations we reviewed, the target time was only missed on nine occasions. We also spent time observing the control room and found that there appeared to be enough patrol officers available for the call handlers to allocate to incidents.
The force has improved how quickly it answers 101 calls. Figures supplied by the force show that in October 2018, the average wait for a 101 call to be answered was 7 minutes, and that 42 percent of calls were abandoned. Since then the force has prioritised the recruitment of contact management staff. It has also launched its single online home platform, which allows the public to conduct many more routine matters through the force's website, including reporting crimes. As a result, by January 2019, the average waiting time for a 101 call had reduced to 3 minutes. The proportion of callers who hung up before they were answered had fallen to 21 percent and many of these went on to use the website.
The force has improved its performance in this area. But it needs to keep improving to make sure that vulnerable people find it easy to contact the force when they need to, and that it deals with all demand from the public via the 101 line.
Between 1 April 2017 and 31 March 2018, the force recorded 14,500 domestic abuse crimes and made 7,250 arrests. Since then, the number of recorded offences has increased significantly. This may be because of improved crime recording practices following our 2017 crime data integrity inspection. However, the number of arrests remains around the same. This means that the arrest rate has reduced from 50 percent, which was one of the highest in England and Wales, to 32 percent, which is broadly in line with the rate for England and Wales as a whole.
There is a similar picture when we look at the rate at which the force brings domestic abuse offenders to justice. Between 1 April 2017 and 31 March 2018, the force took 2,630 domestic abuse offenders to court. Since then, the number of offenders brought to court has remained around the same despite the force recording a notably higher number of domestic abuse crimes. The rate of domestic abuse offenders being brought to court for Thames Valley is now in line with the rate for England and Wales as a whole.
It is unclear why arrests and convictions for domestic abuse have not risen in line with the improved recording of these crimes.
We have noted that, compared with most other forces, Thames Valley Police deals with a higher number of domestic abuse cases by making an appointment for an officer to attend later when convenient to the victim (rather than sending the next available officer). The force used scheduled appointments in 32 percent of all cases, compared with an average of 12 percent across England and Wales in the 2018 calendar year. This delay in speaking to victims may be contributing to the worsening arrest and conviction rates, as victims' willingness to deal with the issue and the availability of evidence can reduce as time passes.
The force is aware that the proportion of arrests and convictions related to domestic abuse has declined. It recognises that it needs to address this and has emphasised to local policing commanders the importance of making arrests where appropriate. It is also considering other ways that this can be improved. However, at the time of our fieldwork it wasn't clear that the force fully understood which factors were pulling performance down in this area.
Officers generally assess risk to victims well. The completion of domestic abuse risk assessment forms has got better since our 2017 effectiveness inspection, when this was identified as an area for improvement. A supervisor now reviews all of these before they are submitted, and it is encouraging to see that officers now record details of children in households who may be at risk. Officers we spoke to were aware of the relevant forms and used them to bring vulnerable people to the attention of the multi-agency safeguarding hub (MASH). This allows the force to share information about vulnerable people with its partner agencies.
The force is working well with mental health professionals to support vulnerable people. A mental health triage car is available between 6pm and 2am every day in each of the three counties the force covers. A mental health nurse and a police officer staff each car, which attends appropriate incidents. The mental health nurse also provides guidance to police officers about mental health issues. A team from the University of Oxford has evaluated this service. The team found that many police officers and members of the public who had experience of the service saw it as something positive, with the latter group seeing it as more appropriate for their needs.
Supporting vulnerable victims
The force works very well with partner agencies to support and protect vulnerable people through the MASH and multi-agency risk assessment conference (MARAC) structures. All high-risk domestic abuse cases are referred to a MARAC. There are nine MASHs across the force area, each of which has police officers working alongside staff from partner agencies. These are working better than they were in 2017, when our inspection found that there was a backlog of assessments waiting to be processed. This backlog has now been cleared.
The force is doing innovative work with its partner institutions to protect missing children. It has created multi-agency teams to bring together relevant information and co-ordinate activity relating to missing and exploited children. These teams include children's services and health service professionals and are connected by an IT system (ELPIS) that allows data to be shared in real time. In a recent case, the police circulated information about a missing girl on the system and another agency identified that she was at risk of child sexual exploitation. The risk assessment was updated, and the missing child was recovered from a hotel room and protected from harm.
Neighbourhood teams are involved in continually safeguarding vulnerable victims, including the elderly, people with mental health problems and repeat victims of domestic abuse. It is encouraging to see the work that neighbourhood officers are doing with partners in their areas to protect vulnerable people – for instance, people being victimised by drug dealers who use their homes for dealing drugs.
The force asks for feedback from victims of domestic abuse and receives it from around 300 victims each year. By analysing the feedback, it has identified that the biggest issue for victims is not being provided with updates. The force has structures in place (such as the domestic abuse operational group) that are responsible for learning from this and other sources, such as national best practice, to improve its service in this area.
An independent domestic violence adviser supports all high-risk domestic abuse victims. The adviser serves as their primary point of contact and makes sure that their perspective and safety is at the centre of the action that any agency takes.
The force has put in place positive initiatives to protect victims of domestic abuse. It has extended the magistrates' court fast-track scheme by piloting this approach at Aylesbury Crown Court. We heard about one case in which this scheme led to a perpetrator being sentenced within 72 hours of the offence taking place, protecting the high-risk victim.
The force has also created a multi-agency tasking and co-ordination group for each policing area. These groups help it to work with partner agencies from fields such as health and social care to reduce the risk from domestic abuse perpetrators. This helps the force take a zero-tolerance approach to all offending by a perpetrator, which in turn helps it provide better protection to the victim. Pooling information about a perpetrator helps the force improve its picture of risks to the victim. A good example of this approach is Operation Vocal in Oxford. Officers engaged in this operation prioritise enforcement action for any offence (for example drink driving) towards domestic abuse perpetrators identified through this process.
The force has clear guidelines about who is responsible for safeguarding vulnerable victims, initial safety planning and providing information about where to get support. Offences investigated by the DAIU are very well managed. They give due consideration to the use of pre-charge bail conditions and victimless prosecutions to support domestic abuse victims.
However, we saw some cases – ones not investigated by the DAIU – where the service to victims of domestic abuse wasn't good enough. In these, officers should have responded more robustly to the situation and safety planning and investigations weren't done well enough. Again, these were all issues that could be prevented with more effective supervision at the beginning of the case. The force needs to make sure that the concerns with how it deals with less serious investigations don't affect its approach to standard and medium-risk domestic abuse.
Our 2017 inspection said that the force needed to increase its use of domestic violence prevention notices (DVPNs). The force supplied data before this inspection that indicates that its use of this type of protective power is among the lowest in England and Wales relative to population size. Only 68 DVPNs were issued in the 12 months to September 2018. The force could also make more use of Clare's Law, which allows for new partners of domestic abuse perpetrators to find out about their offending history. Knowledge about both provisions among staff is low and the processes for making use of them seem to be time-consuming and not always effective.
The force has analysed the reasons behind this and identified that the main problem is a lack of capacity in its legal department. It is recruiting two new members of staff who will be dedicated to taking DVPNs through the magistrates' court process to turn them into domestic violence prevention orders. Despite this, the use of these orders is still low when compared with many other forces in England and Wales. However, we are encouraged to see in our fieldwork that the force is now more focused on improving the protection of victims of domestic abuse through increased use of these orders and its use of pre-charge bail.
The force has good arrangements for managing the risks from dangerous and sexual offenders.
The force is effective in identifying people sharing indecent images of children (IIOC) online and uses a risk assessment tool to score the risk offenders pose. The police online investigation team (POLIT) has dedicated staff to respond quickly to apprehend offenders who are sharing IIOC and are assessed as posing a high risk. Staff in the relevant geographical area deal with cases that are assessed as a lower risk and POLIT staff oversee progress. This system increases the force's capacity to tackle this type of offending. But there is still room to be more proactive in how it uses all types of information to identify people who may be sharing IIOC.
We found that the officers responsible for managing registered sex offenders (RSOs) are well trained and, although they are busy, their workloads are manageable. They use a nationally recognised process to assess the risk offenders pose. At the time of the inspection, there was no backlog of offenders awaiting assessment, although many officers had a backlog of visits. Any risk that a backlog might pose is mitigated by a daily risk assessment meeting that prioritises offenders in terms of how much risk they pose. We found that these assessments make good use of preventative orders such as sexual harm prevention orders to reduce the risk of offending and the force monitors and enforces them.
Neighbourhood officers are aware of RSOs in their area, and in some areas, they carry out monitoring visits to low-risk offenders. The force could explore whether this can be expanded to the whole area.
How effective is the force at tackling serious and organised crime?
How effective are the force's specialist capabilities?
Understanding the threat and responding to it
Thames Valley Police operates joint arrangements with Hampshire Constabulary to provide armed policing. This means that both forces can maintain the right standards of training, armed deployments and command of armed operations.
The force has a good understanding of the potential harm facing the public. Its APSTRA meets the requirements of the national code of practice and College of Policing requirements. The APSTRA is published annually. It states the highest priority threats to communities in Hampshire and the Thames Valley area and makes sure that armed policing meets professional standards. The designated chief officer reviews the register frequently to maintain the right levels of armed capability and capacity.
All armed officers in England and Wales are trained to national standards. There are different standards for each armed officer role. The majority of armed incidents in the Thames Valley area are attended by officers trained to an armed response vehicle (ARV) standard. However, sometimes incidents need the skills and specialist capabilities of more highly trained officers.
The availability of specialist officers in Hampshire and the Thames Valley area is guaranteed by the close working arrangements with the regional counter terrorist
unit (CTU). Having the CTU nearby means specialist officers can be called on immediately if their skills are needed.
Armed criminals and terrorists have no respect for county boundaries, so it is important for neighbouring forces to have effective joint working arrangements in place. This means that armed officers must be able to deploy flexibly and work seamlessly with officers in other forces. It is also important that each force can call on support from surrounding forces in times of heightened threat.
This is an area where Thames Valley Police performs well. Working closely with Hampshire Constabulary means that armed officers can deploy quickly and efficiently to any location in either force's area. Effective plans are also in place with other neighbouring forces if additional support is needed.
We also examined how prepared the force is to respond to threats and risks. Armed officers in Thames Valley are trained in tactics that take account of the types of recent terrorist attacks. The constabulary also plays a prominent role in planning exercises with other organisations to simulate these types of attack. We found that these training exercises are reviewed carefully so that participating organisations can record learning points and make improvements for the future.
We found that the force regularly debriefs after incidents attended by armed officers. This helps to make sure it identifies good practice and areas for improvement. We also found that it uses this knowledge to improve training and operational procedures.

Back Row Radio exists as an alternative to the standard Christian radio, to offer believers and unbelievers alike a steady stream of amazing music that may never get any play on the mainstream, spanning genres and time, and including fresh indie talent. Music is cathartic, healing, powerful. We hope to be encouraging and positive, but there is also value in music that is painful, emotional, struggling, because that's where a lot of us on the "Back Row" - of our churches, of our classrooms, of society in general - tend to live. In the Psalms, David gave us proclamations of joy, ballads of worship, but also songs of lament, fear, anger, and shame. God works through it all to speak to us, to grow us, to heal us. We hope to be one way God speaks to you.
In March of 2013, Matthew Coker started a simple twitter account, @BackRowBaptist, with the goal of poking fun at himself and his fellow Christians in a lighthearted way. He was originally anonymous, but decided to reveal his identity in early 2014, and with that, his difficult testimony. Following this (and even building up several months beforehand), God had lined up several in need of honest advice, counseling, accountability, and more. Suddenly, a simple comedy Twitter account began growing into a real ministry that ministers to struggling Christians trying to be their best for God. This ministry, and the comedy aspect as well, grew into a blog, a YouTube channel, and a fairly popular podcast - Back Row Baptist Podcast.
As a part of the BRBP, beginning in episode #3 and carrying through nearly every episode through #117, independent Christian artists have been put in the spotlight in the middle of each show. In the nearly 3 years of episodes up to that point, dozens of indie artists had submitted their music and hundreds of songs were in our catalog. That is when the idea of a radio station first truly became a possibility. Matt's father and grandfather both worked in the radio business their whole lives, and Matt himself has experience in nearly every job in the radio industry.
Thanks to internet radio provider Live365 and our generous Patreon donors, Back Row Radio was able to become a reality. It started out strong and where God takes it from here is an exciting mystery and we hope you'll be here with us to experience it.

Bloodwise raises funds to support life-saving research into the causes and treatment of leukaemia and other blood cancers.
Its goal is simple: to create a better future for patients both here in the UK and abroad.
1 in 3 of us will be diagnosed with some type of cancer in our lifetime. It is believed that leukaemia is the model of all cancers and achieving a greater understanding of this disease will help in the fight against all other forms of cancer.
Our vision is simple: we're here to beat blood cancer. Imagine a future where the horror of hearing 'it's cancer' is a thing of the past. Where a blood cancer diagnosis doesn't feel like the end of the world. Where patients are free to do the things they love.
Our mission is to stop people dying from blood cancer, to make patients' lives better, and to stop blood cancers happening in the first place. We stop people dying from blood cancer. We won't stop until every single person with blood cancer survives and no one dies from blood cancer again. 100% survival, nothing less.
When we started, almost no children survived acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, the most common childhood cancer. Now, 9 in 10 survive. Our ground-breaking Trials Acceleration programme is bringing new treatments to more patients, more quickly and more cost effectively.

1 killed, multiple arrests made during protests in Downtown Detroit
'This does not represent the vast majority of Detroiters,' Police chief James Craig said
DETROIT – A 21-year-old man was killed and multiple arrests were made with police vehicles damaged during protests on Friday night in Downtown Detroit.
The protests, "March Against Police Brutality," began earlier in the day. It was held in the name of George Floyd, who was killed in a police altercation in Minneapolis earlier this week.
Derek Chauvin, 44, has been charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. Floyd was handcuffed on the ground, pleading that he could not breathe as Chauvin pressed his knee into his neck. Floyd, who was black, had been arrested on suspicion of using a counterfeit bill at a store.

Protests have been occurring across the country. In Atlanta, a car was set on fire, and protesters also broke windows and spray painted messages on the CNN Center. In Minneapolis, an 8 p.m. curfew is in effect the entire weekend to try to keep the peace.
According to the Associated Press, the Pentagon is ordering the Army to put several active-duty U.S. military police units on the ready to deploy to Minneapolis.
In Phoenix, Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and other cities, thousands of protesters carried signs that said: "He said I can't breathe. Justice for George." They chanted ""No justice, no peace" and "Say his name. George Floyd."

Local 4′s Jason Colthorp was live on scene
Local 4′s Jason Colthorp was in Downtown Detroit on Friday night to report on what were initially, peaceful protests.
He went live on Facebook as officers declared the protests an "illegal assembly" and continued to push the crowd back at Cadillac Square. Officers were in full riot gear as they pushed protesters back by several blocks.
Officers could be seen making multiple arrests throughout the night. Protesters were seen throwing items and taunting officers. Police pushed the crowd back toward Ford Street.
Randolph and Congress was full of people at one point during the protests. At one point, a vehicle on East Congress Street nearly struck two people, according to Colthorp.
Tear gas was used by officers throughout the night.
The videos below were live and may contain language some might find offensive.
21-year-old man shot, killed
Police said a 21-year-old man from Eastpointe was shot around 11:30 p.m. in the area of Congress and Randolph streets. The suspect approached the victim, who was sitting in his vehicle with two other occupants, and fired shots into the vehicle. The three occupants exited the vehicle, but the victim was shot at some point and later died.
The unknown shooter fled the scene on foot in an unknown direction.

Detroit Police Chief James Craig speaks about protests
Detroit police Chief James Craig spoke to Local 4 about the protests on Friday night, just before 10:30 p.m.
"We have roughly 1,500 peaceful protesters with a message," Craig said. "I will not stand by and let a small minority of criminals come in here, attack our officers, and make our community unsafe -- just know, we're not going to tolerate it."
Craig said one person who had been arrested at that point was involved in a pursuit on a freeway and that person is accused of trying to run over a police officer.
Several police cars had been damaged at that point, and a command officer had been transported to a local hospital for injuries, according to Craig.
"To the young man who thought he could get away with ripping the windshield out of one of our police cars, we do know who you are," Craig said. "He's still out there, but we know who he is and we know he lives outside the city."
"This does not represent the vast majority of Detroiters who came here to make a statement," Craig said.

[DocBleach][github] allows you to sanitize your Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, ... documents. This repository contains the
DocBleach Web API, packaged as a docker service. Two clicks and you'll feel safer.

[![Codacy Badge](https://api.codacy.com/project/badge/Grade/d44e774ed4df461a97e86e96f6b802c9)](https://www.codacy.com/app/DocBleach/DocBleach-Web?utm_source=github.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=docbleach/DocBleach-Web&utm_campaign=Badge_Grade)

You have files to sanitize but you can't install Java, may it be because you run on an embedded system or you deploy
your PHP app on a shared hosting and Java is not available ... This package is the solution to your issues!

# Installation

Three modules are present in this repository:
- *api*
  contains the Web API, a lightweight Python Flask app that
  receives the files and responds to status requests.
- *worker* contains DocBleach and launches it using Python Celery.
- *autoscale* auto-scaling for Mesos Marathon, documentation still has to be written.

Thanks to Docker, you are able to easily deploy this app.

Celery requires a message broker and a backend to store its results.
Using something as easy to setup as Redis is fine, as it is able to serve
both roles, but you may use [another broker][1] or another [backend storage][backend_celery].

Configuration is given to each component thru environment variables,
namely `CELERY_BROKER` and `CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND`. They accept URI as
valid values, for instance to use a local Redis server protected by the
password `PASS123` you would use this:
`CELERY_BROKER=redis://:PASS123@127.0.0.1/`.

In order to pass the files from the API to the Worker, a storage backend is required.
Plik is used, because it is easy to setup (unlike OpenStack/AWS), Open-Source and supports `expire` out of the box.

By default using Docker Compose, an internal Plik instance is started and the sanitized files are stored on plik.root.gg

You may change this using the `INTERNAL_PLIK_SERVER` and `FINAL_PLIK_SERVER` env variables.

# Howto's
To run the containers using Docker Compose, just call `docker-compose up -d` in this project's directory.
Docker will take care of the boring stuff for you! :)
```bash
$ docbleach-rest$ docker-compose up -d
  Starting docbleachrest_worker_1
  Starting docbleachrest_plik_1
  Starting docbleachrest_web_1
  Starting docbleachrest_redis_1
$ docker ps

```

As you can see, DocBleach-api is running on your port `5000`.
Just open `127.0.0.1:5000` in your browser to try it out :wink:.

## Get the sources

```bash
    git clone https://github.com/docbleach/DocBleach-Web.git
    cd DocBleach-Web
```

A `Dockerfile` makes it easy to hack on a part of this project.

You've developed a new cool feature ? Fixed an annoying bug ? We'd be happy
to hear from you !

Documentation uses [Swagger][swagger], and thus is rendered client-side using the specifications in
`api/static/swagger.yaml`.

# Project status

This project works, but would be greatly improved with little tweaks.

For instance, it would be really great to:
- Write more documentation, because there's never enough of it. :-(
- Have an improved design.
- Improve the API once the [code base is rewamped](issue_codebase), to give an extended output, allow configuration...
- Remove dependencies, having Java and Python code in a docker file is a bad practice. For now, it works.

I have been a firefighter for the last 12 years. I want to be prepared to do my job well and reduce my risk of injuries. This has shaped my approach to how I train as well as how I train others. Fitness is about building you up and not breaking you down. At the Los Angeles County Fire Department I am currently in charge of recruit fitness at our training academy. I am also a peer fitness trainer for the department. This allows me to coach my fellow firefighters on how they should train to be the most effective firefighters they can be.
I take this same mentality when I coach those outside the fire service. Training is about reaching your goals, whatever they may be, in a healthy way. I owned and operated a CrossFit gym as a CrossFit Level 1 and CrossFit Olympic Weight Lifting coach for two years. Currently I use the principles of Foundation Training, Strong First and EO3(all of which I am certified in) to coach those I work with. By using these methods I have seen a reduction in injuries at the fire department while also simultaneously seeing an improvement in performance. I look forward to continue to work with the police, fire and military, as well as those in the civilian world to help build a stronger, happier and healthier community.
