Suspended sentence for serial bike thief
Robertas Jasinskis was caught with a "bicycle stealing kit"...
Sat, Jan 02, 2021 16:22
An Ipswich man who pleaded guilty to the thefts of six bicycles has been handed a 12-week suspended sentence. Robertas Jasinskis, who was said by police to have committed "sophisticated thefts with significant planning" had previously been charged in connection with five other bike theft incidents – all in Ipswich.
The Ipswich Star reports that Jasinskis took the bikes between August 26 and October 27, 2020 and also asked that seven other offences be taken into consideration.
The bikes ranged in value from £70 to a £900 Giant Stance. None has been recovered.
On October 12, officers attended the Chequers Hotel in Ancaster Road, Ipswich, where Jasinskis was staying and bolt cutters disguised with clothing around them and an all-purpose spanner.
"In essence, a cycle stealing kit was found," said Mark Milkovics, prosecuting. "These were sophisticated thefts with significant planning. He has all the tools and equipment and is clearly targeting cycles."
Jo Paton, defending, said Jasinskis had stolen the bikes for financial reasons after being made redundant.
"He was left without a passport which meant he could not get benefits and could not get a job," she said.
Magistrates told Jasinkskis that the offences crossed the custody threshold but said they were prepared to suspend the sentence. He was also ordered to pay £50 in compensation for each of the thefts.<eot>Saying Police Fed 'Lies,' Witness to '94 Murder Recants - The New York Times

Saying Police Fed 'Lies,' Witness to '94 Murder Recants
For the second time in nearly 20 years, Joan Purser-Gennace took the witness stand in a Queens courtroom, but this time her testimony was starkly different: Much of what she testified to two decades ago — words that helped convict a man of a murder — was a lie, she said, spoon-fed to her by police detectives.
"Everything, it was provided to me from the police — the lies," she said on Monday in State Supreme Court in Kew Gardens, at a hearing on behalf of Robert Jones, who is serving 25 years to life after he was convicted of the 1994 murder of Antoine Stone, a street preacher, in Far Rockaway, Queens.
Ms. Purser-Gennace said that although she told the police she could not properly identify the man, they proceeded to coach her with pictures, telling her whom to pick out of a lineup, and mapping out a script for her day in court.
"They said, 'This is how I want you to say it,' and it was a lie," Ms. Purser-Gennace testified. In the audience, several of Mr. Jones's family members burst into tears.
The re-examination of a murder witness, almost 20 years later, called into question not only the conviction, but the behavior of the police and prosecutors.
The hearing was granted after a team of lawyers led by Christopher M. Joralemon filed a motion to set aside the verdict. The motion alleged that possibly exculpatory information was not given to defense lawyers, and that Mr. Jones's lawyers did not investigate a crucial other lead, thus providing ineffective counsel. The motion also cited the recantation of two key witnesses.
The prosecutors pushed back, requesting that any hearing be limited to the credibility of the witnesses' recanted statements. But Justice Joseph A. Zayas went further, allowing the scope of the hearing to include possible misconduct by law enforcement officials, as well as other claims.
The shooting occurred Sept. 10, 1994, in Far Rockaway. Ms. Purser-Gennace testified at the trial that she saw the killing from her second-story window, but she now insists that she could not identify the gunman.
At a nearly six-hour hearing, presided over by Justice Zayas, Ms. Purser-Gennace, 57, who now lives in Rosedale, Queens, described how she came to falsely identify Mr. Jones as the man who killed Mr. Stone. She testified that two Queens police detectives, led by Gerard Weiser, harangued her, visiting her home nearly 10 times with a photo of the man she said they directed her to implicate.
She said the detectives made threatening comments about her husband and children, and hinted that her immigration status could come into play. And when she tried to tell an assistant district attorney, Debra L. Pomodore, that she could not identify the gunman, she said Ms. Pomodore became enraged.
In a written response in July to the defense motion, the district attorney's office called the affidavits in the motion "incredible," and dismissed the notion that law enforcement officials had conspired to frame Mr. Jones as bizarre. "It is fantastic that an experienced prosecutor and the police conspired to frame defendant for this homicide," the 39-page response said in part.
Another witness in the original trial, which was presided over by Justice Robert C. McGann, said he saw a man flee on a bike matching one owned by Mr. Jones. Like Ms. Purser-Gennace, that witness, Philip Engelbert, is expected to recant that testimony in the coming days.
After the hearings conclude, Justice Zayas will decide whether to set aside Mr. Jones's conviction and order a retrial.
Outside the courtroom, Mr. Jones's sister, Gertrude Jones-Pinnock, 38, was overcome with emotion speaking about the sibling who was incarcerated when she was just a child. "His life has been stolen, 20 years," she said. But she said she felt no vehemence toward the woman who helped convict him. "I'm not angry with her, I feel sorry for her; they threatened her too, threatened her children, threatened her husband," she said. "I am so grateful that she is coming forward to tell the truth."
Thomas Hoffman, another lawyer assisting in Mr. Jones's defense, said that Ms. Purser-Gennace was courageous in coming forward all these years later, noting that she was testifying without immunity in admitting she had lied under oath.
"It was eating me up inside," Ms. Purser-Gennace said, as an assistant district attorney, Robert J. Masters, cross-examined her, pressing her about her motive for taking the stand: Was she hoping the truth, which she alleged she was now telling, would set the man she helped convict free?<eot>guarantees all parts of its equipml purchaser, for one full year from date of recorded warl or workmanship when the equipmons and procedures.

Gallery Yang presents “Future of the Present” showcasing teaching achievements at the School of Experimental Art, CAFA
This exhibition is the result of two courses taught in Spring 2016 and Spring 2017 at the School of Experimental Art, the Central Academy of Fine Arts. Under the curricular directive of “Future Media Art,” which is a concentration of study at the school, “Understanding and Experiencing Media Art” for undergraduate studies and “Topical Issues on Media Art” for graduate studies are required courses designed to introduce to students an overview of media art in both theory and in practice.
While acknowledging new media art’s genealogical roots in the tradition of the historical avant-garde and tracing its trajectory and evolution from analog media to digital media and from its endeavor to extend somatic and sensorial boundaries to re-imagining a new ecological and environmental worldview, this study also ventures to critique the predominant contemporary art discourse entrenched in the rhetoric of semiotics and linguistics and its ethical foundation ingrained in postmodern intersubjectivity. It proposes an understanding of new media art articulated through the posthuman condition in which humans, things, and artifacts constitute a multitude of subjects and advocates a concept of art making manifested by “presence” and embodiment, autopoesis and agency implicated in the purview of interobjectivity.
Through readings, analysis of seminal works, writing assignments and discussions in conjunction with topical lectures and technical workshops, students have obtained an understanding of the significance of media art as a pivotal contemporary experience and have also acquired a basic familiarity with its formal language.
Future of the Present presents selected works by students, individually and collectively, in these courses. For most of the participants, this was the first time they have laid their hands on circuit boards and soldering stations or written a few lines of algorithm. But their creative impulse was pronounced and gratifying. The works range from interactive installations that mobilize various sensors to activate visceral experiences to BCI (Brain Computer Interface) augmented theatricality; from alternative VR and AR enabled storytelling to soundscape and visual tropes engendered by magnetic fluids and other ingredients of alchemy to innuendos on robotic performativity. They show uncanny visions and sometimes reveal whimsical innocence; they display a bold curiosity that questions the validity of the Real as we know it and challenge the given. If “Future Media Art” alludes to a discipline of the art of tomorrow, then the future is promised by the present.

In the last 10 years, China lost a total of $3.8 trillion to capital flight and to curb the outflows, a complex system of capital controls was developed by Chinese authorities.
But these efforts have failed to address the problem because of misconceptions that could have led to a better understanding of the causes of capital flight and the possible solutions to it, according to Frank Gunter, a professor of economics at Lehigh University and a senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, in his article in Forbes.
- Depreciation of the yuan - Some people believed that capital flight was driven by the expectation of the yuan depreciation and these individuals think they can profit by taking their yuan out of the country to be converted into dollars and other currencies.
Gunter said that this could not be a reason as the yuan had depreciated by about 25 percent to 6.14 yuan per dollar between 2005 and 2014 yet China capital flight increased from $125 billion in 2005 to $484 billion in 2014.
- Economic and political turmoil - The other reason for the capital flight are economic and political concerns. The slowdown of Chinese economy and the government's anti-corruption efforts are reasons that may have driven capital flight.
Gunter, however, said that China's economy actually grew tremendously from 2004-2010 and the political situation is stable but the capital flight still doubled every year.
- Capital controls are the solution - Some people also believed that if the amount of money taken out of the country becomes too large, the government can reduce it by imposing further restrictions.
But, according to Gunter, stricter capital controls in 1998 did not affect the volume of capital flight, only the methods used by people. Five years after 1998, capital flight using financial transactions dropped to $105 billion while those who use mis-invoicing have increased by $95 billion in the same period.
Gunter presented some of the possible reasons why capital flight occurred. First, he said that China has transformed from an egalitarian state to an unfair state. China is next to the U.S. with 400 billionaires. These few individuals, who are less than 0.5 percent of the population, control about 25 percent to 33 percent of the country's GDP.
With the government crackdown on corruption, some of the wealthy Chinese prefer to move their families and money out of the country.
Another possible reason is migration, Gunter said. China's Central Bank said that in 2011, about 18,000 government officials left China, taking with them about $7 million each. Data also showed that about 60 percent of rich Chinese wanted to migrate.
Chinese students in the U.S. have increased about 500 percent to 304,000 in 2015, the U.S. State Department said. Many of these students wanted to stay in the U.S. after graduation.
Gunter said that the lack of well-paid jobs in China, as well as health concerns due to air pollution, drove some of the Chinese students to stay in the U.S. or other countries.
Gunter added that China may reduce capital flight if it would strengthen the rule of law to combat corruption, improve the quality of life of people and ensure employment opportunities for the educated Chinese.<eot>Hansen Background: Response of treatment based on pegylated inter | Anti cancers
Hansen Background: Response of treatment based on pegylated inter-feron (PEG-IFN) in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection is still low, therefor, the strategy of response-guided therapy (RGT) has become the current focus. The efficacy of on-treatment HBsAg levels guiding therapy of PEG-IFN in CHB is still controversial. Aim: click here To evaluate the efficacy of this RGT strategy on guiding treatment of CHB infection in PEG-IFN based therapy, we conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis in which patients were given PEG-IFN with or without
nucleot(s)ide analogs (NAs), and then to judge the correlation of on-treatment HBsAg levels with response of 24 weeks off-therapy. Methods: We searched PUBMED, EMBASE, learn more the Cochrane Library (1997-2013) for clinical researches involving the HBsAg quantification and response of PEG-IFN based therapy in CHB infection. The response rate was the primary outcomes measured from the collected studies. The HBsAg clearance
of 24 weeks off-therapy was other outcomes measured. Results: Among thirteen studies (N = 1493 patients), patients with a optimal on-treatment HBsAg levels had higher chance to achieve response (RR=5.17, 95%CI: 3.75-7.11), and the pooled date of total response rate was 54% (95% CI: 44-63%). At week 12, patients without this optimal on-treatment HBsAg levels hardly achieved MycoClean Mycoplasma Removal Kit a response (the early
non-response rate: 99%, 95%CI: 98-100%). According the RGT strategy at 24 weeks, response rate could be increased to 48% and 79% in HBeAg-positive and negative patients respectively. And the corresponding pooled HBsAg clearance rate of 24 weeks off-therapy can improve to 10.9% (37/340). Conclusions: The RGT strategy using on-treatment HBsAg quantification is effective for predicting and improving the response of PEG-IFN based therapy in CHB patients, especially in HBeAg-negative patients. And this strategy might contribute to guide treatment and conduct early stopping rules. Finally, this strategy might be benefit to improve the HBsAg clearance. Disclosures: The following people have nothing to disclose: Hong Peng, Fang Wei, Junying Liu, Huaidong Hu, Peng Hu, Hong Ren Background: Little is known about stopping rules of nucelos(t) ide analog (NA) treatment for chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Methods: A total of 164 consecutive CHB patients who met cessation criteria of NA treatment by APASL guideline were enrolled in this prospective study. Fifty-one patients were excluded by exclusion criteria, 113 patients (45 HBeAg-positive and 68 HBeAg-negative CHB), who stopped NA treatment, remained for statistical analysis.<eot>INVESTOR ALERT: Levi & Korsinsky, LLP Reminds Shareholders of Electronics for Imaging, Inc. of a Class Action Lawsuit and a Lead Plaintiff Deadline of October 10, 2017 – EFII - Patents and Trademarks Today - EIN News

How To Fix Common Ruger Problems
We haven't written any how to guides for Ruger problems. This could be because we haven't gotten enough requests for them from customers using our website. And that could be because Ruger does not have many customers - or at least not many that use GetHuman to find and fix customer service problems. Or maybe their customers find the issues they encounter easy to resolve themselves. Either way, let us know if you are having a problem with a Ruger product or service that we should write an instructional guide for. We're here to help customers!
While there is bad news that we haven't written any useful manuals on how to solve Ruger customer care issues, it is something that we often do for larger companies. A larger company example would be our Chase how to guides page. And also our Microsoft - Tech Support guide page. From those examples, you should be able to get a sense of how we try to figure out which issues are ailing customers the most and then we get expert writers on the case to translate our knowledge of a solution into a guide for you to use for free. All of this is possible of course because millions of customers every month use this information and share it with each other. So thank you again for sharing! And sorry we don't have more free help to offer for your Ruger problem that you're facing.

In early 2000, the once-heady share values of tech, media and telecoms firms collapsed, as investors for the first time started to question the fundamentals of the internet economy.
Then last year, after almost a decade of robust performance, the global economy started to sag, led by the US.
The US slowdown, combined with worse-than-expected performance in Asia and Latin America, led to Europe suffering much more than had been forecast.
A turnaround in stock markets has been forecast for most of the past year, with the economy now showing significant signs of improvement.
The sustained downward trend has led some analysts to predict a long-term trend of falling stocks, known as a "bear" market.
All things being equal, a drop in the markets is usually seen as a buying opportunity, as investors spot shares that are undervalued in relation to their fundamental worth.
But no one wants to be the first to decide that shares are being sold too cheaply - most investors are waiting to see how low things can go.
But without buyers, the markets continue to fall. And when the markets continue to fall, no one will buy. Catch-22.

Just curious, not sure I'd ever do it on a ship.

I would think If they had a special group crusie of Tat artists, maybe then. Haven't heard anything on this board about that though.
I've never heard of it on ships either....be careful of henna tattoos as some have had bad allergic reactions and end up with scars from them.

Carnival Has the tempory ones.....by the pool....but I think others do too....seems like it but I can't remember for sure......you know....old age......
Having just come off a Carnival ship, I can verify that yes, they do have tatooing, but it's a temporary airbrush tatoo, that will last about 7 days. Prices vary from 7.95 to 9.95 depending on the size.
The Liberty had air brushed tatoos by the pool area. They had a special deal on the 1st sea day, get a medium or large tatoo, then on the last sea day you can get it refreshed or a different one for $10. as long as you don't wash over it or apply lotion to the area they will last for about 7 days, mine did.
Caribbean Princess had the airbrush one on my November 12-19 voyage ... first time I had seen it on Princess. About the same price and supposed to last 7 days.<eot>Bayku - Destiny (Audio) ⋆ URBAN VAULT UK
