We’re continuing to ensure we’re prepared to keep you safe at the thousand-plus large-scale events that we police in Greater Manchester every year with the specialist training of hundreds of our officers.
Our rigorous week-long public order training programme has been nationally-recognised as properly equipping us for a whole variety of events – such as sporting fixtures, festivals, carnivals, and protests – to maintain order in circumstances where there is a risk to ourselves and the public.
Each year we police around 1200 such events in GM that mostly pass without any significant incident; however, we ensure that in the rare instances issues do arise, we have officers specially trained in maintaining order with the tactics and skills to keep the wider public and our officers safe.
As well as putting 500 new officers through their paces every year, we have many more experienced officers who also go through the intensive course to refresh their knowledge and skills so that we have the necessary number of qualified cops to be deployed to such big events.
Chief Inspector Kirsten Buggy, of our Specialist Operational Training, People and Development Branch said: “All our officers will police major events given the nature of serving for one of the largest communities in the country, but we also ensure that a high amount of those officers is trained in using the enhanced tactics that may be needed on some occasions.
“Part of the training our officers do here is very-much a last resort and can seem excessive to some, but we’ve seen in the past how valuably important it is that we can call on such an insurance policy for the rare situations where public order needs to be regained and maintained to keep you safe.
“This is the kind of policing that goes to show just how brave and committed our officers are at being on the front line and doing what they can to keep communities safe from those who may look to cause harm, and year-on-year we’re making sure that more of our officers gain the experience that this vital training can offer to the benefit of us all.”
We’re currently recruiting more officers than ever – fancy joining our team too? Find out how you can here: www.gmp.police.uk/recruitment
Is Knowledge subject to decay? Yes it is, because it is bound by causes and conditions. Only wisdom isn't. And wisdom can arise from the awareness of the impermanence of all things.

A car was parked in front of my house today that was bought in the town of Wissen (Knowledge) in Germany. Are the people from there all very knowledgeable?
Knowledge of the self is the mother of all knowledge. So it is incumbent on me to know my self, to know it completely, to know its minutiae, its characteristics, its subtleties, and its very atoms.
Kahlil Gibran, "The Philosophy of Logic"
"All truth and knowledge is important, but amidst the constant distractions of our daily lives, we must especially pay attention to increasing our gospel knowledge so we can understand how to apply gospel principles to our lives. As our gospel knowledge increases, we will begin to feel confident in our testimonies and be able to state: I know it.'" (Anne M. Dibbs). Model Kelsey Garry. (Photo by Karen Petitt)
Earth Designs Garden Design and Build were asked to created a landscape and propose garden design in Stratford, East London*. Here are the details of the project
The Round Paving Garden in Stratford, East London E15 2BU
The client wishes to transform the space simply, using paving and lawn. Existing boundaries are mostly sound and require no renovation or screening Client would like to keep existing shed. There is no access to the garden other than through the house - however there is an area at the bottom of the garden Where items could be brought into the space There is a brick built BBQ which the client would like to keep
The design uses a simple circular theme, creating several focal areas to make the most of the limited space.The main area of the garden will feature three paved circles, all in Haworth Moor Natural Sandstone. The first will be a three ring circle, creating a solid paved area suitable for dining and entertaining. The remaining two circles will consist of an outer ring of Haworth Moor paving, within which turf will be laid to create an informal and decorative effect.
The area directly outside the house will be laid with Haworth Moor Natural Sandstone paving in a random pattern, giving a larger hard area for dining and the display of ornamentation and potted plants.
The planting scheme is designed to blur the boundaries somewhat, helping to create an illusion of space. Planting will take the form of evergreen shrubbery and flowering perennials in a variety of colours, with a young Cherry Blossom taking centre stage in the right hand corner of the space.
The existing slabs will be cleaned and used to pave the area at the bottom of the garden. This area will be screened from the garden proper with trellis, and can be used as a utility area in which to house the existing shed.
“From the moment we met Kat we felt Earth Designs were the right team to work on our garden. Kat’s ability to really hear what we wanted and the knowledge to realise and enhance the dream was outstanding.
The team that worked on the garden were a really great bunch. Even my neighbours commented on how friendly and hard working they were - ‘they just never stopped’, was a common statement. They worked long days and even weekends to complete the garden within the planned schedule.
We were away the weekend the garden was finished and I was so excited about coming home and seeing everything complete. My husband and I walked out the back door and what we saw was breath taking. I had always mocked those people that cried at the reveal on home improvement programmes yet I was now standing with a tear in my eye… We were also given a comprehensive after care pack, which has helped us to look after the garden and maintain our sanctuary. Earth Design’s are a company I would happily recommend to anyone. They were professional, hard working, extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to have met.
If you dig this and would like to find out more about this or any of other of our designs, please stop by our web-site and have a look at our work.

My knowledge of the county where I spent the first 25 years of my life, is largely restricted what you could see from the main roads through it, or where Shreeves Coaches would do tours too. Therefore I know the A12 and 143 very well, but away from those, not so good.
I grew up in a household that did not own a car, I am the only one to have passed a driving test, so any exploration would have to be where there was a railway station nearby, or where a coach might call.
Before my current interest in churches, I would see signs pointing down leafy lanes towards the parish church, and I would not be tempted. I knew there was such a sign from the small stretch of dual carriageway near to Saxmundham.
Having been to Snape, I turned onto the A12 intending to go north, but instead turned west following the signs to Benhall.
Down a long, straight lane, lined with mature trees and carpeted with golden leaves that had just fallen: i reach the end and can see no church, but a hand painted sign points the way right, and a hundred yards away, hidden behind trees sits St Mary.
I like a church with a gallery; even better if is open, or accessible. All round a fine and tidy, well kept church, and despite only a minute drive from the main road, is a million miles away.
------------------------------------------
One of the great things about being a harmless Suffolk eccentric is that you get to meet other harmless Suffolk eccentrics. I hadn't known Aidan Semmens very long, and Benhall was part of one of our first jaunts together. This site was on its first, fresh legs, and he was writing about churches for what in those days was still called, quaintly, Eastern Counties Newspapers. We would bounce ideas off each other to the advantage of both our work, and may one day even get round to writing that book we kept talking about. However, Benhall stalled us in our creative endeavours, because on that occasion we couldn't get into the church.
When I first wrote on this site about finding this church locked, in what was otherwise an area of open churches, I had a wry e-mail from the Archdeacon of Sudbury, telling me that, in fact, Benhall church was open daily from 9 am - 5 pm. However the door is heavy and some people find it difficult to open. The hand has to be turned to the right and the door pushed forward. Neither Aidan or I had ever laid claims to being macho, and so we enrolled on an intensive fitness programme at the local gym, limbering up to open stiff doors. But in fact it would be more than eight years before I came back to Benhall.
Benhall is one of those parishes bisected by the A12. Unhappily, this cuts the church off from its village centre, but both village and church are in rather lovely settings, St Mary being reached down a long, straight high-hedged lane from the busy road. I freewheeled along, enjoying the birdsong and the emerging sunshine as July stuttered into life. Soon, the noise of the traffic fell away behind me, but as I approached the church a lunatic dog erupted in the garden across the road. I dare say that I was the first stranger it had seen all day, but its slavering barking suggested that it thought I was definitely up to no good.
At first sight, St Mary is an entirely Victorian confection; the double-breasted east end consists of the original, repointed chancel, and a north transept and chancel aisle, both with 19th century windows. The style is similar to Somerton, across the county. The northern extensions were to contain an organ, vestry and schoolroom. On the eastern face of the original chancel, an internal memorial has been placed, rather ill-advisedly; the Victorians sometimes seem rather embarrassed by these, although they normally just banished them to the west end of the nave. Mortlock thought that the tower showed signs of being early, with late Saxon work at three of the corners; but, as he says, the 19th Century touch is so overwhelming elsewhere, there is no reason to think it original. It certainly doesn't look older than about 150 years. As I wandered around the church taking photographs, the dog kept up its hellish litany, verging on the apoplectic whenever I came back into view. I wondered if it did this for church services as well - if so, Benhall weddings must be fun. I found that by jumping up and down and waving my arms I could raise its anger to absolute fever pitch. However, reasoning that if it broke through the fence and rushed across the road, the smile would be on the other side of my face - if, indeed, I still had a face at all - I decided to curtail my amusement and have another go at that south door.
There is a substantial south porch, with the first inkling that this church is something rather interesting after all; a large, Norman doorway. It shows signs of being recut, but is in its original place, and is perhaps the clearest inclination of the date of the superstructure of the building. The door opened easily. The interior is clean, light and well-kept, a pleasing balance between old brick floors and early 19th century furnishings. This is essentially a Georgian interior, from the days of the Rector John Mitford, brother of the more famous Mary. The pre-ecclesiological features include a gallery, a double decker pulpit looking along the ranks of box pews, and a curious birdbath font on a stubby stem. The clear glass of the windows benefits the nave, filling it with a simple, restful light.
To step past the organ in the transept, and into the chancel, is to enter a part of the building with a quite different feel. Unfortunately, the fitted carpet makes a view of the church's brasses and floor slabs impossible - there are three sets of brasses to members of the Duke family, and Sam Mortlock was most impressed by them when he came here in the early 1990s. I don't know when the carpet was fitted, but it did occur to me that if I had bothered to come back to Benhall sooner then I would have seen them as well. The striking memorial on the north wall of the chancel is to another Duke, Sir Edward, who died in the 1730s. An antiquarian, he used the opportunity to record almost 150 years worth of his forebears, which must make him very popular with his own ancestors if any of them are genealogists.
Benhall church is a simple, restful place, off the beaten track and probably little-known. But I was glad I'd come back, and as I waved the dog a cheery goodbye, he whined and put his head between his paws, perhaps reasoning that he might have to wait some considerable time before he had any more fun.

Mark Weislogel
NASA’s go-to problem solver
Liquids in zero gravity don’t pour, don’t spill and don’t drip. But PSU mechanical and materials engineering professor and former NASA scientist Mark Weislogel found a way to make them behave.
An expert in fluid dynamics, Weislogal has designed numerous experiments performed by astronauts aboard the International Space Station. He and his students used complex mathematics to design a coffee cup that allows liquids to be sipped instead of sucked from a tube. That’s great news for coffee-loving astronauts, and the science behind it has implications for space travel that are out of this world.
At Portland State University, we believe knowledge works best when it serves the community.
2007 was notable for me as I completed my Psychology degree. What now? All this knowledge in my head and on a shelf ...
