Officers are often injured in such raids. He's heard a lot of support from other legislators, and he's hoping to hear support from law enforcement, too. Sanders said the bill will work its way through the legislative process after the new year. Officers had been looking for a drug dealer who lived in a different apartment and who they already had in custody. The family of Alberta Spruill, a 57-year-old grandmother who died of a heart attack in 2003 after police officers fired a flash bang grenade into her apartment, has given Sanders its support. Sanders said Taylor's death brought the practice to people's attention, but his district has its own examples of dangerously executed raids. James Sanders, D-New York City, is among the first to include all 15 of the campaign's recommendations. A bill filed earlier this month in New York by Sen. The group is now working with 37 cities and states to introduce legislation on no-knock warrants. Capitalizing on this year's resurgence of police reform protests following the death of George Floyd, they worked with at least 315 cities and eight states that adopted portions of their recommendations to reduce fatal force, including banning officers from putting their knees on the neck or head of suspects to restrain them. It would also require any property seized during those raids to be returned if a person isn’t convicted of a crime.Ĭampaign Zero was started by police reform activists in 2015 after Michael Brown was fatally shot by a Ferguson, Missouri, police officer, triggering protests nationwide. The model also mandates officers use body-worn cameras and fill out within 72 hours a warrant execution report that is reviewed by an independent board. “We had to create something comprehensive to cut off flimsy legislation and get real change," Ryan said. and requiring the officers to know when asking for the warrant who lives at the residence, including whether there are children, older people or anyone with a disability. She says that's why the group has included in its legislation a complement of reforms: requiring officers to be in uniforms that make them easily identifiable, requiring warrants to be served between 9 a.m. “You have to think there’s going to be some lasting trauma from that.”īut just banning the warrants isn't enough, because the raids would only continue in other ways, said Campaign Zero manager Katie Ryan. but it’s happening literally every night in these communities,” Kraska said. "The rest of us got to see that level of militarization with the protests. Officers were executing such a warrant in Kentucky when 26-year-old emergency medical technician Breonna Taylor was fatally shot. Kraska said the raids happen disproportionately in communities of color. That's because the warrants are reserved for extraordinarily dangerous moments or if suspects are likely to destroy evidence if they are alerted to officers' presence, but critics say not always. But with no-knock warrants, officers don't have to say anything and don't have to wait. Generally, under the law, police must knock and announce their presence when serving a warrant, meaning they must wait before entering a property. The data includes no-knock and other warrants. ![]() SWAT team and tactical drug raids - in which heavily armed police teams bust down doors - have ballooned from about 3,000 in the early 1980s to more than 60,000 annually in the last few years, mostly because of drugs and drug task forces, according to Peter Kraska, a criminology professor at Eastern Kentucky University who has studied police raids for decades. While Biden has said his administration will support criminal justice reforms, it’s unclear where he will focus. ![]() Rather than waiting for direction from lawmakers, a group of academics, policing experts and activists called Campaign Zero has created model legislation around so-called no-knock warrants they hope will be attractive to cities, states and President-elect Joe Biden, as they work to curtail police tactics that lead to both civilian and officer casualties. PHILADELPHIA (AP) - After a year marked by police killings of Black men and women and mass civil unrest over racial injustice, some activists are taking aim at police tactics that can lead to deadly middle-of-the-night raids they say are used overwhelmingly in communities of color. ![]()

![]() ![]() The median base curve for RGP lenses was 7.57, and median diameter was 10.00 mm. The mean trial time for attempted eyes (i.e., patients with PMCD who successfully underwent the contact lens trials) was 77.7 minutes, and the number of trials required to finalize the choice of contact lenses ranged between 2 and 7. The average astigmatism was -8.56D, and a majority of the patients with PMCD who were in the contact lens trial had an against-the-rule astigmatism (63.3%). ![]() Best-corrected visual acuity of 6/12 or better with spectacles was achieved in 14 (46.66%) eyes. Twenty-seven eyes of 15 patients were identified as subjects for multiple contact lens trials, and 24 (88.8%) eyes were successfully fitted with RGPCLs. There were 12 men and 3 women, with a mean age of 39.73 years. During follow-up, visual acuity with RGPCLs, lens fit, and average wearing time were noted.įifteen patients (30 eyes) with typically inferiorly located pellucid marginal corneal degeneration were included in this study. After successful contact lens trials, data regarding number of trials, trial time, final contact lens choice parameters, and best-corrected contact lens visual acuity were noted for each patient. Twenty-seven of 30 eyes were subjected to several contact lens trials using polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) contact lenses, using a systematic and consistent approach. Information collected from the medical records included patient demographic data, uncorrected visual acuity, refraction, best-corrected spectacle visual acuity, and topographic details, including kerotometry. This retrospective study consisted of 15 patients with clinical PMCD, confirmed by videokeratography (TMS-1, Computed Anatomy, Inc., New York, NY). Figure 1.To study the clinical performance of rigid gas permeable contact lenses (RGPCL) in patients with pellucid marginal corneal degeneration (PMCD). 5 We, again, would urge the use of a full limbal-to-limbal corneal thickness map to augment other clinical measurements to properly diagnose true PMD. 5 The distinction is not just of academic interest, as treatments such as CXL, intrastromal corneal ring segments, or deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty, which may be appropriate for the more common inferior KCN, would not only be more difficult to perform but may have very different outcomes in true PMD, in which the pathology typically extends past the areas of treatment offered by these modalities. Both inferior keratoconus and PMD are noninflammatory corneal thinning ectatic diseases, but it is important to accurately distinguish these 2 conditions considering the prognosis and overall clinical differences. The vertical Scheimpflug image, however, between these two conditions can be remarkably similar and would fail to differentiate true PMD from inferior keratoconus ( Figure 1). 1 in their article acknowledge the limitations of relying solely on curvature patterns and add a comparison of the superior with inferior corneal thickness taken from the vertical Scheimpflug image. 3,4 Our previous work suggested that a full pachymetric map is a more definitive method to differentiate PMD from inferior keratoconus. Crab-claw patterns on curvature maps are a pattern also seen in the much more common inferior keratoconus. Both of these articles use similar criteria to define PMD, namely inferior corneal thinning and a crab-claw pattern on anterior curvature topography. 2 appeared concurrently in another journal describing the positive results of transepithelial phototherapeutic keratectomy followed by CXL in PMD. 1 advocates for the use of corneal crosslinking (CXL) as a potential treatment of pellucid marginal degeneration (PMD). ![]() 2/20/2023 0 Comments Uulfred the unliving![]() The most obvious objection is that it is too anthropomorphic it interprets everything as being like us, having a point of view on the world, even though physical science shows no evidence of such a thing when it comes to inanimate matter. Metaphysically, it makes more sense to think of everything having an inside and an outside than it does to think of some things having both and some things having only one, an outside. (3) The aim of metaphysics (the speculative variety, not the analytic or logical variety) is to frame a system of general ideas that include every element of our experience. It’s not verifiable by experiment, but makes sense in terms of theoretical consistency and coherence. But all are composed of entities that, like us, have both aspects. Some combinations, like stones, have no subjectivity of their own. Quantum entities such as muons, quarks and the like combine to form the everyday objects, living and non-living, that we are familiar with. Instead, the most plausible version of the theory, which Galen Strawson calls “micropsychism,” (2) is that the elementary building blocks of the world take into account their world in a way analogous to but much simpler than the way we humans experience our world. That would be ridiculous, as stones exhibit none of the complex behavior of humans. The theory does not assert that stones have psyches in the same way that humans do. The stone obviously has an outside, but does it have an inside as well? Panpsychism says that, in a sense, it does. ![]() How we appear to others, our height, weight, body-mass index, color of eyes, etc. The appearance of the stone is part of our inside along with our thoughts and emotions about it. We human beings obviously have both an inside and an outside. That composition is part of the outside of the stone. ![]() The chemical composition of the stone, on the other hand, is something objectively knowable anyone with suitable training can analyze it. We each have to look at it ourselves in order to know. Nor can physical sciences such as physics, and chemistry tell us how it looks. The color is known subjectively each of us individually can see the blue color, but cannot directly know how it looks to anyone else. The color of the stone as we perceive it is part of our inside it is something we experience. Imagine looking at lapis lazuli, a gemstone prized for its intense blue color. The term comes from Greek for “all” and “soul” or “mind.” Panpsychism is the view that everything, from the smallest quantum event to the most complex living being, has a mental, subjective, aspect as well as a physical aspect. The outside is physical reality, describable from a third-person, neutral-observer point of view in mathematical and structural terms. The inside is subjectivity or mind, the view of the world that each of us has privately. The inside is the world as experienced by an entity, and the outside is the way that an entity is experienced by other entities. Panpsychism is the metaphysical theory that everything has, as I like to say, an inside and an outside. ![]() You need process to solve the combination problem. ![]() Panpsychism without process is only part of the story. (1) Today’s essay concerns an objection to that theory, the combination problem, and how the process metaphysics of Alfred North Whitehead can address it. Maybe it’s because of algorithms that know what I like to read about, but I see a lot of interest in panpsychism lately.

This album is for everybody who ain't been to church or connected to God in a while who thinks they can't go back. "We just went through the pandemic and ain't nobody to church in a minute. " No Church In A While has all types of meanings," expresses 1K Phew. The concept for their collaborative album, No Church In A While, grew out of their conversations. "Rappers like 1K Phew are carrying forward the torch we lit with 'Let The Trap Say Amen,' using their music to reach hip-hop heads with a spiritually that's not forced or foreign to them."ġK Phew's new project collaborative album with Lecrae, No Church In A While, features ten tracks, including their new single "Wildin." Lecrae was recording his mixtape, Church Clothes 4, when it occurred to him that people haven't been to church to even put on those church clothes in a while because of the pandemic, church hurt, and other reasons. "Our artists at Reach Records are continuing to prove that faith can exist beyond the pews of the church if expressed authentically," Lecrae shares. Reach Records president/co-founder Lecrae describes Phew's sound as hip-hop that is equally at home in the club or the church. 1K Phew is part of a new breed of artists taking the trap sensibility and elevating it to a new sound called "Street Gospel." 1K Phew's smooth delivery, swag, and evocative vocals have an infectious quality that is streetwise yet commercially viable. ![]() 2/20/2023 0 Comments Adobe pdf editor free![]() Protect PDF documents by adding passwords.Compress PDF files to reduce file size.Export PDFs to Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint.Create PDF files from documents or images.Combine files into one PDF file and organize pages.Edit text and images right in your PDF document (mobile only).Subscriptions work across mobile and web.

Idk, every single time I've seen a gun-type weapon introduced into a campaign it's broken one way or the other. What am I missing, here?

It's.a magic item that breaks 15% of the times you use it, at best requiring an Action to fix, with a decent chance to really break, requiring a bunch of gold and some out of combat time to rebuild. And without a feat, Pepperbox still basically needs two hands, bc you have to have a free hand to reload.īad News also isn't that great, for a weapon that misfires 3x as often (on a 1,2, or 3), and has to be reloaded every time. It never misfires, does close enough to the same damage as to make no real difference, and has the same range. He would be noticably more effective with a longbow. ![]() That, right off the bat, is a shite weapon. The misfire happened twice in one fight for Percy! The Pepperbox is a one handed longbow with a 1/20 chance of misfire, oh and you have to reload every six shots, and if you misfire and fail the repair check (an action!? To get your primary means of engaging in combat back in action!?) the thing breaks, and you have to spend actual time repairing it, spending half the bloody cost of the bloody thing again! This could happen more than once an adventure.
