Tinsel TV characters with some of the city centre policing team.
Greater Manchester Police has launched its Christmas campaign today as part of ‘GMP Christmas’, tackling crime and protecting vulnerable people over the festive period.
This year’s online Advent campaign sees a festive cast take over usual TV programming with the launch of Tinsel TV. A new video will be released every day from 1 December, which sees Rudolph, Snowman and a Big Bad Wolf join Santa and his helpers as they host a series of TV programmes with crime prevention advice for the residents of Greater Manchester.
GMP is encouraging people to think about how they might keep themselves safe, and to consider what their present to, or presence within, their community, family or friendships might be.
At the same time, the campaign will showcase the promises that GMP makes to the public at Christmas and all year round, using a mixture of law enforcement and public engagement to protect the local communities.
Operationally, high-visibility patrols will be in place across the region to detect and deter criminal activity, as well as providing reassurance and assistance. There will also be 12 high-profile days of action which will tackle the traditional spike in crime usually seen during this time of year.
Purse bells and other crime prevention tools will be handed out to shoppers in town centres to keep thieves at bay, and police are also maintaining a strong presence around car parks to help prevent items being stolen from vehicles.
The Christmas drink and drug drive operation, which also starts today (1 December 2015), will continue throughout the month and officers will be testing motorists around the clock and reinforcing the ‘none for the road’ message.
In addition, officers and cadets will be delivering hampers to the elderly and those in need, and the public will be given a live insight into the world of policing on one of the busiest days of the year – Mad Friday.
Assistant Chief Constable John O’Hare said:
“This time of year is a busy one for the force and our colleagues across the emergency services, and we have been thoroughly preparing for the festive period.
“Our top priority is making sure that the people of Greater Manchester enjoy Christmas in the safest possible manner.
“It can be a very busy time of year, but we are asking the public to take some time to have a think about what their Christmas present might be to their community or family. Whether you promise to visit an elderly relative or neighbour, or volunteer to be the designated driver for friends on a night out, we can all do our part to keep ourselves and others safe this season.
“This Christmas, GMP will be present to tackle criminals and protect the people of Greater Manchester. We hope our neighbourhoods can embrace the spirit of community this Christmas and share their presence, too.”
Greater Manchester Mayor and Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Lloyd said:
“Christmas brings out the best in Greater Manchester people – the majority of whom are generous and warm-hearted. I hope people will tap into that festive community spirit and look out for older friends and neighbours who perhaps need a little help and company this year.
“There will always be those who want to spoil the party for everyone, so please take care of yourself and your friends when you’re out enjoying yourselves, and make sure everyone gets home safe and sound.”
People can post their Christmas promises online using one of the GMP templates, available at www.gmp.police.uk.
People can also visit the website to check out the daily videos giving seasonal crime prevention advice, or follow #GMPChristmas on social media for the latest police activity throughout December.

My Classic space attempt. Im too young to have any real classic sace sets, those figs are the closest thing I've got to CS figs. The rocket gantry detaches and angles away from the base for liftoff. When brickshelf is working I'll put up more pics of everything.
Please excuse the low quality photoshop job.
A Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) is launched from Pearl Harbor-based guided-missile cruiser USS Lake Erie (CG 70) to intercept a threat representative target as part of a Missile Defense Agency test of the sea-based capability under development. This was part of a multiple simultaneous engagement involving two ballistic missile targets that were intercepted about 250 miles from Kauai and approximately 100 miles above the Pacific Ocean. The SM-3 was one of two interceptors launched from the ship that collided with two ballistic missile targets launched from the Pacific Missile Range Test Facility in Kauai, Hawaii, within minutes of one another.

A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket with the Lucy spacecraft aboard launches from Space Launch Complex 41, Saturday, Oct. 16, 2021, at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Lucy will be the first spacecraft to study Jupiter's Trojan Asteroids. Like the mission's namesake – the fossilized human ancestor, "Lucy," whose skeleton provided unique insight into humanity's evolution – Lucy will revolutionize our knowledge of planetary origins and the formation of the solar system.

The first stage of the rocket that will launch Boeing's CST-100 Starliner spacecraft to the International Space Station on the company's uncrewed Orbital Flight Test is on its way to the United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas Spaceflight Operations Center (ASOC) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida on Dec. 7, 2018. The ULA Atlas V first stage booster was shipped aboard the company's Mariner cargo vessel from the company's manufacturing plant in Decatur, Alabama. It is the final piece of hardware that ULA needs to launch the first Boeing Starliner. Inside the ASOC, the booster will be inspected and checked out. Photo credit: NASA/Cory Huston

NASA has announced the winners of the 2016 NASA Student Launch challenge, held April 13-16 near NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
Vanderbilt University of Nashville, Tennessee, won first place and took home the top prize of $5,000, offered by Orbital ATK, of Promontory, Utah, longtime corporate sponsor of the challenge.
The University of Louisville, in Kentucky, won second place, and Cornell University of Ithaca, New York, placed third. The Rookie of the Year award was presented to the University of Cincinnati in Ohio.
Nearly 50 middle and high school, college and university teams from 22 states demonstrated advanced aerospace and engineering skills related to real-world activities and programs on NASA’s journey to Mars. Teams spent eight months building and testing rockets designed to fly to an altitude of one mile, deploy an automated parachute system, and land safe enough for reuse, while some teams also designed scientific payloads for data collection during flight.
