If You Love Your Freedom - Thank A Veteran

So goes the saying on thousands of signs and bumper stickers across North America.

If you sport one of these signs or stickers, or if you just agree with that slogan, here's your chance to say your thanks in a way that our veterans, past, present and future will appreciate.

The Canadian Federal Government is clawing back a significant portion of the pension benefits of our Military and RCMP Veterans. This is happening at a time when these people can least afford it. The claw back is effective when the veteran turns 65 years age, or earlier if they are injured and begin drawing their Canada Pension Plan benefits.

However, politicians, who get their "Gold Plated" pension after only six years in office, have exempted themselves from the claw back while leaving the claw back in place for our veterans. Veterans who have served the country with loyalty and dedication. Veterans who have been willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom and safety. Veterans who have served for 20 and 30 and sometime more than 40 years in order to receive their pension.

If you're Canadian, go to the link below, read the text of the petition carefully and check out some of the comments of the people who have already signed this petition. If after doing so, you disagree with the claw back, and feel that our Military and RCMP Veterans deserve their full pension, then say "Thank You" by adding your name to the petition, including any comments that you feel are appropriate.

Does Crime Pay?

Crime is defined as "a breach of a rule or law for which a punishment may ultimately be prescribed by some governing authority or force" (Crime). What if crime did not exist? Who would fund public works? How many professions would not exist? Would the county require more funding from federal and state grants? Among other things, isn't it true that the derivative of crime is financial punishment? Is crime financially detrimental or beneficial to society? In this case study the authors will attempt to answer these questions. Using a sample, the authors will prove that the funds derived from crime offset the cost of crime. Furthermore, this report will provide the findings of a detailed analysis of the cost- benefit relationship, which includes the financial impact and benefit that crime imposes on society. In this report it will be determined that crime acts as an economic stimulant. Rather than focusing on the morality of crime, the authors will focus on the financial and economic impact of criminal activity.

The first step in the process was to select a sample to analyze. The sample size became important because it needed to be an accurate representation of the population. The authors chose Chester County, Pa because of its relevancy to West Chester University. Next, the authors gathered and compiled multiple financial statements. These included the Statements of Disbursements and Receipts from each district court along with the Chester County Budget. For the purpose of finding revenues and costs directly or indirectly related to crime, the data was extracted from these documents (Refer to Exhibit 1).

The formulated crime "income statement," constructed by the authors, proved their financial assumptions to be truthful and accurate. The finalized "income statement" stated that revenues and costs were nearly equal. Therefore, the cost of crime directly offsets the revenues derived from crime. Furthermore, Chester County encountered a realized gain of approximately two million dollars. Based on this analysis, it is fair to state that crime is slightly financially beneficial to Chester County. This idea concludes that no extra state or government funding would be necessary if crime did not exist. One must be advised that during the analytical process the authors were forced to make reasonable and fair estimations because of the lack of specific information and resources. In order to be as accurate as possible, the authors separated the costs into their respective categories based on civil and criminal cases reported by the magisterial district courts. (Refer to Exhibit 1, *1). The general health and well-being of a community is important to all residents of Chester County. A stable economy is essential for positive resident/county relationships. Crime stimulates the local economy in many ways. The economic benefits directly and indirectly related to crimes are countless. The authors decided to cite a few of these benefits.

First, in determining the effect crime has on public works, two aspects must be considered. One is that public works are funded by state and federal grants and not revenues received from criminals. Therefore, one would believe crime has no effect on public works. Or does it? Community service is another form of punishment that usually parallels financial reprimands. In fact non- violent criminals contribute their labor to the economy and other public betterment projects. This "free labor" ensures the completion of public works and the overall well being of the community. If a monetary amount can be allotted to community service, then the excess public work cost above community service revenue can only be funded by the state Secondly, there are many jobs that are directly related to the existence of crime. These professions most commonly range from lawyers, judges, and law enforcement/ probation/ parole officers, to prison security and corrections officers. Most of these local municipality jobs provide decent salaries and life long employee benefits to their respective employees. The average salaries of uniformed police officers range from forty to sixty thousand dollars annually, not including bonuses and overtime (Police Patrol Officer). Lawyers who practice law for more than four years on average make ninety thousand dollars, forcing them into a higher tax bracket (Salary Survey). Without crime high paying jobs would move toward extinction. Therefore, the county would receive less tax payments. Most lawyers are not collecting salaries from the local government, yet they make a decent living. With no more crime, lawyers, judges and law enforcement officers may still exist for civil matters, but not at their current capacity.

Other major professions that would be affected by the elimination of crime are the U.S. Armed Forces. Many Marines, Army, Air Force and Navy personnel reside in Chester County, including one of the authors, Marine Corporal Cianci. In fact, there is an Army National Guard base located in the center of West Chester, Pa. Without crime there would be a decline in the capacity of the armed forces. The loss or decrease of these crime dependent jobs would damage the local economy. The education system is another entity that is affected by crime. Chester county colleges such as West Chester University, Penn State Great Valley, and Immaculata University are well known for their criminal justice programs. Without crime, classrooms would be empty and teachers would be unemployed. Universities would be forced to downsize. The criminal justice curriculum would cease to produce revenues. Universities that base their curriculum strictly on law would be disseminated. Finally, the reader must consider how manufacturing plants affect the local economy. Law enforcement officers drive specifically manufactured vehicles that aid their crime fighting abilities and even make it possible. These vehicles are equipped with lights, sirens, and custom made seats. Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler are the three major U.S. car manufactures responsible for law enforcement vehicle assembly (Police Cars). If crime were to be eliminated the manufacturing segment of the economy would be tarnished. Decreased manufacturing would lead to a decrease in the Gross Domestic Product. The principles of economics determine that manufacturing facilities harbored in the United States provide a greater economic benefit than imported vehicles.

The authors' examinations determined beyond reasonable doubt that crime influences economic infrastructure. Without crime an intricate slice of the economic pie would be missing. The most important form of influence results from the cash flow that crime creates. The revenues pulled in by district courts, which is disbursed to the state and redistributed, benefits individual communities and the county as a whole. It is critical to reiterate the jobs and opportunities that stem from crime.

Now, consider the previously established definition of crime. This definition is an essential element in determining the "other" financial and economic benefits crime provides. At this point one may be thinking, "where is this going?"

Thus far, the authors have focused on the action of crime and the "law's" reaction. The "law" includes all legal and judicial persons of who associate themselves around the legality of criminality. What about crime that is financially punishable by private institutions? These privately owned institutions include college universities, banks, apartment complexes, residential communities, libraries, movie/game rental franchises, medical/dental establishments, and trash/recycling entities. The privately owned establishments are the governing force. Therefore the crimes, not punishable by the court of law, are breaches of rules consequently resulting in fines and fees. These fines and fees are collected for cancellation charges, late returns, late payments, "no shows," and bank overdrafts. Furthermore, these revenues are cost free. They could be characterized as pure profit without expense. In some cases they even reduce cost.

In the case of late fees the governing force is the college university. Yes, the university is state funded, but the tuition late fee payment benefits the school. Does all of this not fuel the economy? Finally the authors will examine the privately owned drug and alcohol clinics and classes that one must take to avoid a conviction and escape sentencing. These establishments including COAD (Chester County Council on Addictive Diseases), located in Exton, Pa, are individual entities, separate from the state, and do not include their revenues in the Chester County budgets. For example, COAD charges an individual arrested for driving under the influence approximately three hundred dollars for enrollment in local government mandated classes. The compilation of such money stimulates the local economy and influences a greater enhancement of the Chester County community relationship.

In conclusion it would be vindictive to assume that crime is strictly detrimental with regards Chester County's financial stability and economic infrastructure. In order to tie everything together one must imagine the big picture. The cash flow cycle responsible to crime has a deep impact on the local economy. Does crime pay? Yes crime pays for itself, and also provides an economic benefit to Chester County and its subsidiaries.

(Exhibit 1) Chester County, Pennsylvania, 2006-Revenues from crime received by law enforcement and court authority $51,026,376. Cost that would be eliminated without crime $56,328,802. Gross income equals $2,309,780.

Data was retrieved from the 2006 Chester County Budget. The cost ratio's were determined based on the stated Chester County civil/criminal ratio which equaled: 12% civil and 88% criminal. There was not enough information or resources to separate fixed and variable costs into their respective components.

The Ulster Troubles (Part 2 of 24)

The Troubles consisted of about 30 years of repeated acts of intense violence between elements of Northern Ireland's Nationalist community (principally Roman Catholic) and Unionist community (principally Protestant). The conflict was caused by the disputed status of Northern Ireland within the United Kingdom, and the alleged domination of the minority nationalist community, and discrimination against, by the unionist majority. The violence was characterised by the armed campaigns of paramilitary groups. Most notable of these was the Provisional IRA campaign 1969--1997 which was aimed at the end of British rule in Northern Ireland and the creation of a new all-Ireland Irish Republic. In response to this campaign and the perceived erosion of the British character and unionist domination of Northern Ireland, loyalist paramilitaries such as the UVF and UDA launched their own campaigns against the nationalist population. The state security forces - the British Army and the police (the Royal Ulster Constabulary) - were also involved in the violence. The British government point of view is that its forces were neutral in the conflict and trying to uphold law and order in the North. Irish republicans, however, regarded the state forces as "combatants" in the conflict and point to evidence of repeated collusion between the state forces and the loyalists as proof of this. Alongside the violence, there was a political deadlock between the major political parties in Northern Ireland ...

Sikorsky - X2 Raider™ Prototypes [720p]

20 Oct 2010 : West Palm Beach, Florida - Sikorsky Aircraft will design, build and fly two prototype light tactical helicopters as the follow-on advancement to the X2 TechnologyTM demonstrator aircraft that unofficially shattered the helicopter world speed record here in September with a flight speed of 250 knots (463 km/h). The decision to continue development of the next-generation rotary wing technology will enable Sikorsky and select suppliers to offer the high speed X2 prototype vehicles for flight test and evaluation by US armed forces. Sikorsky Aircraft is a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX). "Having proved the X2 Technology design to ourselves, we have full confidence we can now mature the technology for the US Army's light armed reconnaissance helicopter size," said Sikorsky President Jeffrey Pino. "Self funding the design of a brand new light tactical helicopter -- the Sikorsky S-97 -- and manufacturing two prototypes we have designated as the Raider™ X2 helicopter will help military aviation evaluate the viability of a fast and maneuverable next generation rotorcraft for a variety of combat missions." In March 2010, Sikorsky submitted an X2 aircraft design to the Army's Armed Aerial Scout (AAS) program in response to a request for information. The AAS program is currently conducting an analysis of alternatives for the Army's next armed reconnaissance helicopter. Like the X2 Technology demonstrator that broke the helicopter speed record, the X2 ...

Violent Crime in America

For families and individuals residing in America the threat
of violent crime is a fear that we all have to live with.
Just pick up your local newspaper or turn on your T.V. and
see the headlines of murder, rape and assaults reported from
coast to coast. There is an answer to the realization that
you may be a victim of a violent crime, and that is to be
prepared to defend yourself should you find yourself in a
situation that warrants it.

A crime of violence or violent crime is a crime in which the
attacker or offender uses or threatens to use violence or
violent force against the victim. These include crimes in
which the violent act is the objective of the attack, such
as murder, along with crimes in which violence is the means
to an end, such as robbery. Males are the primary victims of
crimes of violence, with the exception of rape which
accounts for 6 percent of all violent crimes.

There are four offenses that are considered to be violent
crimes; they are murder and non-negligent manslaughter,
forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. These
violent crimes may also involve the use of force or the
threat of force.

In 2004, there were an estimated 1,367,009 violent crimes
reported in the United States. Of these, aggravated assaults
comprised over 62 percent of all reported crimes, robbery
over 29 percent, forcible rape or sexual assault over 6
percent, and murder comprises a little over 1 percent of all
reported violent crimes.

Here are a few alarming statistics about Violent Crime in
the U.S.

1. Over 94,000 forcible rapes were reported in 2004 an
increase of 4.9 percent since the year 2000. Approximately 6
out of 100 females in the United States will be a victim of
forcible rape.

2. Over 16,000 murders were reported in 2004 an increase of
3.5 percent since 2000, but showed a decline in the number
of murders reported in 2003.

3. There were over 850,000 aggravated assaults reported in
the United States in 2004. This crime usually has the
highest percentage of incidents reported each year. But
research has shown a steady decrease in aggravated assault
occurrences for the last 11 years.

4. In 2004 there were over 400,000 robberies reported in the USA,
robbery is defined by the Uniform Crime Reporting Program (UCR)
as the taking or attempting to take anything of value from the
care, custody, or control of a person or persons by force or
threat of force or violence and by putting the victim in
fear.

Now that you are aware of these statistics, and the need for
people in America to have the ability to protect themselves
from violent crimes, or if you are concerned about your
personal safety or the safety of your family, then stay
alert and be prepared and visit us at
http://www.safeselfdefense.com for all of you personal protection
needs.

Fight Back - Don't Be A Victim!

Security Jobs at a Glance

Security guards need to be fit not only physically but also mentally to deal with the different responsibilities their job entails. They need to look at situations, people or scenarios to detect unusual patterns. Then they must decide what action to take, which may vary depending on where they work. If irregular activity is caught on video, guards may need to notify police. On the other hand, security guards who patrol premises by foot or car need to be ready to use force.

Guards are usually armed in places where a there is a high risk of theft or other criminal activity. The minimum requirement to get a job as an armed security guard is a high school diploma or equivalent. However, most states require guards to obtain a license to carry a gun. Additional training, like weapons retention or laws covering the use of force, may be required by the employer as they are legally responsible for any use of force on their premises.

An increasing number of states are requiring guards to receive periodical training for them to preserve their license. This also helps guards to be up-to-date with the latest security trends and informed about new criminal behaviors. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, guards may be trained in protection, public relations, report writing, crisis deterrence, first aid and other topics depending on their specific needs.

ASIS, an organization dedicated to increasing the effectiveness and productivity of security professionals, recommends that security guards receive at least 48 hours of training within the first 100 days of employment. ASIS also suggests that guards be tested on different topics, like sharing information with law enforcement, crime prevention, handling evidence, the use of force, court testimony, report writing, interpersonal and communication skills, and emergency response procedures.

Guards need to be tolerant and patient to reassure their specific employers as well as the broader community that everything is under control. Nervous and insecure guards may use irrelevant information to make decisions, which may cause anxiety and unrest. In some instances the guard might be the sole representative of an institution; therefore his professional attitude will promote the company's credibility.

Most security jobs are sought by people who need a flexible work schedule or a second job. Although the level of stress at work is usually low, some jobs can be hazardous at times. Theft is perhaps the most common crime that security guards will handle. Additionally, youths who are learning who they are by experimenting with violent behavior may also pose a threat to guards. Yet, as organizations spend more on their safety measures, the BLS expects that the number of jobs in security will rise in the coming years.

The Battle Doesn't End With Miniature Toy Army Men Sets

Green toy army men are what most young boys first play with. These youngsters would love to own a set of army toys. The figurines are usually two inches in length and classified as an American icon. Many parents regret the day they have made the decision to present this kind of toys which are sold in a bucket or a large bag to their children as these little toy men are often left scattered when they come home.

The tiny toy soldiers have been around since the year 1930 and were originally constructed from metal. To produce more affordable miniature toys, plastic was then used after the Second World War. These toy soldiers have the traditional green color that represents the uniforms of the US Army. Other colors of these miniature toys have come out in the 1960's to represent the opponents of the US in the Second World War which are in grey and yellow.

Most of today's army men toys are still designed and created with the uniform styles in the World War II. However, sets with modern uniforms and the uniforms in the Vietnam War are also available. In addition, it is ironic that many of these US Army toy soldiers are made by companies outside the United States. Majority of the green army toy men displayed on shelves are manufactured in the facilities of China.

Toy soldiers have also appeared popularly in the cinema. One toy soldier appears with the slinky dog and Mr. Potato Head in the interesting movie entitled Toy Story. The first main job of the soldiers in the first Toy Story movie was surveillance on the new toys that have come up for Christmas. In the sequel of the Toy Story, the toy soldiers have returned for a minor role wherein they need to recover the hat of Woody from the toy box and hold the bedroom door open for Buster. In the third Toy Story movie, they were featured prominently.

Only three of the original 200 soldiers have remained in the third Toy Story movie. Their appearance was highlighted in the last few days of their life in the room of the boy named Andy. The green army men have once again become popular as they made their appearance in several movies and with the use of YouTube. Amateur filmmakers are able to recreate a number of scenes in the classic battlefield with the affordability of these figurines combined with the many positions available.

The store shelves would not run out of these toy army men sets since these are an American classic. They are always an all-time collectible for boys. Hunson retails a 150-piece set and the army men set in Combat Mission has 1,000 pieces.

Who Are The French Special Forces?

The French Special Forces, are also called the Commandement des Opérations Spécialesor the COS. This organization comprises all of the military branches in France including the Navy, Army and Air Force as well as the Gendarmerie. It is comprised of the first and second circle where the first circle is under permanent COS command and the second circle being called in for reinforcement. The COS can commandeer any members of the armed forces in France for special military action if necessary.

Their History

The COS began in June, 1992 shortly after the Gulf War. It is a directive of the special forces units of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Gendarmerie, all of which are under the command of the COS.

How To Become A Member Of The COS

Those who are involved in any of the special forces units of the French Military are considered to be part of the first circle of the COS. There are various military regiments in France, including the French Army Special Forces Brigade (CFST). Those who train for the special forces in the various fractions of the French Military are considered part of the COS.

COS Training

Training for the COS consists of extensive military training. In addition, there are exercises annually that insure that all of the special military units operate within one another. The exercises are called the Gorgones. The best trained ar the GCP unit which are trained in accordance with SAS standards.

What Are They Best At?

The French Special Forces are best at special covert operations both domestically as well as abroad. They have been active in a number of missions and also focus on fighting both domestic as well as global terrorism..

Weapons Of The COS

The weapons of the COS depend upon which of the branch of service is involved. They use NATO weapons, sniper rifles, M2 Browning Machine Guns, MK 19 Grenade launchers, many versions of the Colt M4, M16 and Heckler & Koch weapons. In addition, they use the Heckler & Koch USP with a silencer, the Glock 17 and the AT4.

The COS can also commandeer the use of the Gendarmerie Nationale and second circle Army as well as the third circle, which is police intelligence, if needed.

Career Options in Nursing Field

Nursing is one of noble and fulfilling professions in the medical domain. Nursing as an occupation gives multiple career options depending on the nature and specialization giving you a scope for learning and enhancing your knowledge on a continual basis.

The various options are:

1. Hospital Nursing: This forms a major group of nurses. The nurses here are assigned to one of the divisions which could be surgery, maternity (delivery), intensive care, pediatric, obstetric, or rehabilitative and for many such other specific specializations the hospital is known.

2. Public / Community Health Nursing: This group of nurses are the ones working in government health departments and large private clinics more specifically in rural or countryside with a aim to provide basic medical services to the underprivileged. In urban areas they instruct groups of people with health care education, disease causes and prevention, nutrition guidelines and much more. They practically run immunization campaigns and other related medical screening.

3. Military Nursing: This is group of nurses providing their services to the armed force personnel, also serving the nation - a dual service.

4. Educational Nurses: You could be teaching course subjects to students pursuing nursing or medical administration programs.

5. Industrial/ Occupational Health Nursing: These nurses work under directives from industrial trauma specialist physicians, assisting them in drawing up safety plans and measures. Emergency care after accidents or mishap at industrial premises is something they proficiently handle.

6. Psychiatric Nursing: Working with patients suffering emotionally or having a psychological disorder or distress is psychiatric nursing. These nurses need to have lots of patience, devotion and perseverance and work in coordination with psychiatrists or specialist doctors.

7. Pediatric Nursing: Working with babies and children who are sick and taking care of them. Again this requires lots of affection and care.

8. Orthopedic Nursing: This is a rehabilitation nursing where one needs to have good knowledge of physiotherapy.

This is an overall broad categorization for the vocation of nursing. The other fact making this profession even more exciting is the pay. The average median earnings of registered nurses in the US were $49,840 in 2002, only one other profession leading it was the accountant.

Battlefield Vietnam: Ep 2 "The Undeclared War" (6/6)

The Vietnam War, also known as the Second Indochina War, or the Vietnam Conflict, occurred in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia from 1959 to April 30, 1975. The war was fought between the communist North Vietnam, supported by its communist allies, and the government of South Vietnam, supported by the United States and other member nations of the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO). The Vietcong, the lightly armed South Vietnamese communist insurgency, largely fought a guerrilla war against anti-communist forces in the region. The North Vietnamese Army engaged in a more conventional war, at times committing large-sized units into battle. US and South Vietnamese forces relied on air superiority and overwhelming firepower to conduct search-and-destroy operations, involving ground forces, artillery and air strikes. The United States entered the war to prevent a communist takeover of South Vietnam as part of a wider strategy called containment. Military advisors arrived beginning in 1950. US involvement escalated in the early 1960s and combat units were deployed beginning in 1965. Involvement peaked in 1968 at the time of the Tet Offensive. Under a policy called Vietnamization, US forces withdrew as South Vietnamese troops were trained and armed. Despite a peace treaty signed by all parties in January 1973, fighting continued.

Québec History 20 - The End of the Rebellion

Québec a Nation History (Part 20) The Patriots Rebellion of Lower Canada (Québec) The Lower Canada Rebellion, La rébellion du Bas-Canada, is the name given to the armed conflict between the rebels of Lower Canada (now Québec) and the British colonial power of that province. After the rejection of demands for reform, a series of public meetings by the leaders of the Patriot Party inflame passions during the summer of 1837. They culminate in an assembly at Saint-Charles-sur-Richelieu on October 23. The clashes began on 6 November by a firefight between the Loyalist and the Sons of Liberty. There were three major confrontation in Saint-Denis, St. Charles and St. Eustache. The Patriots managed to defeat the British troops at Saint-Denis on 23 November but little trained and poorly equipped rebel forces did not match the British colonial military forces more numerous and better prepared. Thus, the rebels were defeated on 25 November in St. Charles and December 14 in Saint-Eustache. Members of the patriot party, political party democratically elected by the people, declared Québec (Lower Canada) a independent Republic on 22 February 1838. Martial law was declared, there were hundreds of arrests, several patriots were hanged, some patriots fled to the United States, others were deported to Australia.

AC-130 Gunship Mission

AC-130 footage. en.wikipedia.org The Lockheed AC-130 gunship is a heavily-armed ground-attack aircraft. The basic airframe is manufactured by Lockheed, and Boeing is responsible for the conversion into a gunship and for aircraft support.[1] It is a variant of the C-130 Hercules transport plane. The AC-130A Gunship II superseded the AC-47 Gunship I in the Vietnam War. The gunship's sole user is the United States Air Force, which uses AC-130H Spectre and AC-130U Spooky variants.[2] The AC-130 is powered by four Rolls-Royce T56-A-15 turboprops and has an armament ranging from 20 mm Gatling guns to 105 mm howitzers. It has a standard crew of twelve or thirteen airmen, including five officers (two pilots, a navigator, an electronic warfare officer and a fire control officer) and enlisted personnel (flight engineer, electronics operators, and aerial gunners). The US Air Force uses the AC-130 gunships for close air support, air interdiction, and force protection. Close air support roles include supporting ground troops, escorting convoys, and flying urban operations. Air interdiction missions are conducted against planned targets and targets of opportunity. Force protection missions include defending air bases and other facilities. Currently, AC-130U Spooky model gunships are stationed at Hurlburt Field in Northwest Florida and the AC-130H models are stationed at Cannon AFB, New Mexico. The gunship squadrons are part of the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC), a ...
