This man was selling little plastic swords that blew bubbles. Or rather, he was leaning against a wall next to a box of the things that was doing a lot more to push the product than he was.
A week of intensified activity across the region took place as part of the national Neighbourhood Policing Week of Action, delivering visible policing, targeted enforcement, and strengthened community engagement in response to local concerns.
Neighbourhood teams across all 10 districts carried out proactive operations aimed at tackling the issues that matter most to residents, including anti-social behaviour, drug dealing, shoplifting, and vehicle crime.
Throughout the week, officers executed warrants, conducted hotspot patrols, and disrupted criminal activity, alongside working closely with partners and communities to address longer-term problems.
Across Greater Manchester, neighbourhood officers delivered a series of targeted results, including:
Proactive patrols in led to the seizure of vehicles and e-bikes linked to anti-social use, responding directly to concerns raised by residents.
Plain-clothes operations targeted drug dealing, resulting in arrests and the disruption of organised criminal activity.
Officers dismantled cannabis farms after acting on community intelligence, removing illegal drugs from neighbourhoods.
Additional patrols and enforcement activity in key areas such as Manchester’s Northern Quarter were deployed to address issues raised by residents and businesses.
Alongside enforcement, neighbourhood teams prioritised engagement with local communities, recognising its vital role in building trust and preventing crime.
Neighbourhood policing continues to play a key role in reducing crime across Greater Manchester. Over the past year, neighbourhood crime has fallen by 15% across the force, alongside significant reductions in burglary and vehicle crime and increased enforcement activity.
We have made it our priority to reduce and prevent the crimes that matter most to our communities. In 2023, we guaranteed that every district ward has a named local police officer which can be found and contacted via our website, and that we will tell our communities the work we are doing through our community engagement service Bee In The Loop.
Our proactive crime-fighting his has meant that since 2021 we have reduced burglary by a third, vehicle crime by a quarter, and are bringing to justice 100 shoplifters a week.
Every area of GM has neighbourhood tasking teams (NTTs) to proactively tackle crime, neighbourhood crime teams (NCTs) to bring offenders to justice, neighbourhood policing teams (NPT/NBOs) to patrol our streets and ensure community safety, and a prevention hub to solve problems and reduce crime.
During the week of action, Chief Constable Sir Stephen Watson visited neighbourhood policing teams in Stockport and undertook a warrant in Woodley aimed at safeguarding a potential victim of cuckooing.
Chief Constable Sir Stephen Watson said: “Neighbourhood policing is not merely a nice thing to have; it is an essential cornerstone of our operating model. It means we can manage recurrent demand such that we can simultaneously respond effectively and quickly, investigate crime properly and bring people to justice.
“This important cornerstone of policing has enabled GMP to perform as we have done over the past five years with a year-on-year improvement, which is thanks to the officers we have across Greater Manchester in their dedicated neighbourhood policing teams, supported by PCSOs and our wider partner agencies who have made a difference to people’s lives.
“This week has showcased the dedication of our neighbourhood teams – from proactive patrols and enforcement activity through to meaningful engagement with residents, businesses, and partners.”
Defenders proactive work on the Big Wood River Project began in July of 2008. Through a few "In the Field" reports on the My Yellowstone Wolves blog, we've been able to share our successes and adventures with the project.
Take a look at our team preparing for Year Two of the Big Wood River Valley project.
One of the cute tribal huts we got to see on the mountain top.
The tribal community is close-knit, where everyone is cared for. This
was evident in the grain-bank system they follow there.
Every family makes a contribution to the grain bank, which has been
built with the help of TREDS-an arm of samata.
When the need arises, the reserves are used. Their account keeping for
every family's contribution was also well maintained.
Some good work going on here!

As part of our ongoing commitment to tackling neighbourhood crime and making our city centre a safer place, a number of our teams carried out proactive operations targeting crime and anti-social behaviour in the area, leading to a total of 14 arrests.
Officers from the Town Hall Neighbourhood Team carried out a mixture of late-night policing operations, with both uniformed and plain-clothed officers, across the Chinatown area. This proactive operation led to six arrests, mostly in relation to the possession and supply of drugs.
As well as these arrests, officers executed multiple stop searches across the area as part of ongoing work to keep the community safe. This involved addressing loud music being played at late hours, tackling anti-social behaviour, and disrupting drug use in the area.
Our City Centre Neighbourhood Team also conducted proactive patrols across Piccadilly Gardens, leading to two arrests in connection with drugs and public order.
Sergeant Jack Lenihan-Smith from the Town Hall Neighbourhood Team said: "The city of Manchester hosts a number of activities throughout the day and is home to such exciting nightlife experiences.
"Our priority is you, and as you enjoy the day with family or friends, it is our focus to ensure you can do so safely. From the early hours of the morning, to the late hours at night, our officers are deployed across the city centre to protect you.
"Our work doesn't stop here and we will continue to proactively patrol these areas and work with local communities to ensure we are providing the protection you need. We encourage anyone who may have questions or concerns to please approach us, we're always happy to help."

An effective cyber security threat detection system should proactively identify all suspicious activities, whether external or internal. Contrary to common perception, not all cyber security threats originate beyond the networks and systems of a company. Many kinds of cyber security threats are caused or facilitated by internal errors, unintended human mistakes, and general unawareness.
Data is a business’s life line, very often taken for granted and it is only when things go wrong that businesses realize the importance of investing in proactive IT support. Whether you need an IT helpdesk to support your network of computer users or onsite visits to maintain your systems, we can offer you the benefits of a large organization’s IT department at a fraction of the price.
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men worldwide, second only to lung cancer in incidence. In 2020 alone, more than 1.4 million new cases were diagnosed globally. The prevalence of prostate cancer in India has increased in recent years, with significant variations across regions. The lack of proactive screening, societal stigma, and a lack of awareness contribute to underreporting and delayed diagnosis. This is counterproductive as early detection and appropriate treatment can greatly improve outcomes, making awareness and regular screening crucial for those at risk.
Watch our experts talk on Prostate Cancer
What are the risk factors of prostate cancer?
Several factors can increase the risk of developing prostate cancer. It primarily affects men over the age of 50, and the risk increases significantly with age. Race and genetics play a role as well. African American men face a higher risk and often more aggressive forms of prostate cancer. Further, a history of prostate cancer in close relatives doubles the risk. Lifestyle is another important factor that impacts the onset of prostate cancer. Diets high in red meat, dairy, and processed foods, along with a lack of physical activity, may increase the risk. Conversely, diets rich in fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats may reduce it.
When to see a urologist?
Prostate cancer often shows few symptoms in its early stages but may later present with difficulty urinating, changes in urinary patterns, blood in urine or semen, pain in the back, hips, or pelvis, and erectile dysfunction. These symptoms can also arise from benign conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), making a timely consultation with a urologist essential for accurate diagnosis and appropriate care.
What does screening for prostate cancer involve?
Screening typically involves a PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) blood test, sometimes coupled with a digital rectal exam (DRE). High PSA levels can indicate prostate cancer but may also result from non-cancerous conditions. The PSA test can detect cancer early, it has also been associated with overdiagnosis and overtreatment. As a result, some countries recommend PSA testing only after certain age thresholds or specific risk factors are present. Advanced imaging, MRI, and biopsy are often used to confirm a diagnosis and determine the cancer’s aggressiveness.
What are the treatment options?
Prostate cancer treatment depends on factors like the cancer stage, overall health, and patient preferences. Options include active surveillance for low-risk cases, surgery (prostatectomy) for localized cancer, and radiation therapy to target cancer cells. Advanced cases may require hormone therapy to reduce testosterone levels, slowing cancer growth, or chemotherapy and targeted therapy when other treatments are ineffective.
Addressing common concerns about Lap Radical Prostatectomy (LRP)
Can prostate cancer be prevented?
While prostate cancer cannot always be prevented, lifestyle changes may help lower the risk. A healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, combined with regular exercise, can improve overall health and potentially reduce cancer risk. Routine screening, especially for those with high-risk factors, is crucial. Diets high in red meat and dairy or sedentary lifestyles may increase risk, while nutrients like lycopene, found in tomatoes, might offer some protection.
What is the survival rate of prostate cancer?
Prostate cancer has one of the highest survival rates among cancers when detected early. For localized and regional prostate cancers, the 5-year survival rate is almost 100% in countries with advanced healthcare, thanks to early detection and treatment advancements

Following JNUUS's intervention, the 507 DTC route's service was introduced from the Paschimabad bus stop..
.
The previous JNUSU had demanded that the Delhi Metro start feeder buses from JNU to the Hauz Khas Metro station..
The transport convenor of the present JNUSU actively pursued the issue. JNUTA also helped in the matter and as a.
result the metro feeder bus service was started..
.
While carrying forward struggles for students' inalienable rights, JNUSU also emerged as a voice of the democratic struggles being.
waged across the country and in different parts of the world. After the untimely and unfortunate death of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela,.
JNUSU stood by the people of Venezuela as they bravely defended Chavez's anti-imperialist and pro-poor legacy. As Palestinians in the.
Gaza strip battled yet another assault by the Israeli occupying forces in November 2012, JNUSU emerged as their voice in Delhi,.
mobilising the democratic sections amongst students, teachers and intellectuals in Delhi, and articulating the aspirations of the.
Palestinians for justice, for life and dignified livelihoods. When SFI activist Sudipto was killed in police custody in Kolkata, JNUSU led the.
protests in Delhi against this heinous murder orchestrated by the TMC regime in West Bengal. Saluting the legacy of Babasaheb.
Ambedkar, JNUSU organised a visit to the Dr. Ambedkar National Memorial on 6th December, and earlier in November 2012, JNUSU.
protested against the casteist and dehumanising practice of manual scavenging. Immediately after the brutal gang rape and murder of.
a young woman in Delhi in December 2012, JNUSU was amongst the first to protest at the Vasant Vihar police station. And in the days.
that followed, JNUSU and the JNU student community played an important role in keeping the movement going, and also in the.
platform of `Justice for Women Now' formed in the wake of the protests in Delhi. When the neighbouring Delhi University erupted in.
protests against the undemocratic imposition of the anti-student FYUP (Four Year Undergraduate Programme), JNUSU representatives.
also lent their support and solidarity. When Khalid Mujahid was killed in police custody in Uttar Pradesh in May 2012, JNUSU led a fact-.
finding team to Lucknow and also participated in the ongoing protests against communal witch-hunting and custodial killings organised.
by the Rihai Manch in front of the Vidhan Sabha in Lucknow. Overall, JNUSU has continued to remain the voice of the people's.
movements, raising democratic concerns of the marginalised and oppressed sections..

Academic Rejuvenation.
.
Lecture Modules on Gender Issues: It has been a long-standing demand of the student community that lecture.
modules be developed on various issued related to gender, keeping in mind the diverse natures of Social Sciences,.
Sciences and Language disciplines, in order to counter the all-pervasive patriarchal commonsense. Due to the efforts of.
the last JNUSU and GSCASH, a mandatory Gender Sensitization Programme had been started for the new students from.
the 2012 Monsoon academic session. In the SSS BoS meeting, the student representatives argued for further.
development of this gender sensitization programme by taking inputs from Centre for Women Studies and increased.
participation of all centres and concrete plan on this is being worked out..
.
Opposing the Flawed Practise of Displaying 'Fail' in Marksheets In Case of Absence of Student: In the cases of those.
optional courses, where students drop out in course of the semester and do not appear for the exams, the transcripts.
show the grades on these dropped out courses as 'F' instead of `absent', thus creating a wrong and unduly.
unfavourable impression about the academic record and competence of the concerned students. Following JNUSU's.
intervention, the Dean of SSS assured JNUSU that this practice would not be followed any more..
.
Opposing Mandatory Language Courses for VH Students: In CHS, visually challenged students face considerable.
difficulty in the different mandatory language optionals that they have to take, since the books and materials in these.
languages are not available in Braille. Following the intervention of JNUSU, the centre agreed to offer other non-.
language optionals for VH students in place of the mandatory language course..
.
Building a Database of Students' Academic Research: After the intervention of JNUSU, the process of setting up a.
school and centre-level databases with details of students' research - research areas, publications, papers etc. - has.
been initiated. This will enable students of the school easy access to information on ongoing research..
.
Ensuring More Optional Courses for BA students of SLL&CS: JNUSU argued that various centres in SSS should.
proactively offer optional courses to enable the students from SLL&CS to appreciate the various theoretical paradigms.
in social sciences and to engage with various issues of India's changing economy and its larger socio-political impact..
The suggestion was positively received..
.
Setting up of a Translation Cell: This has been another important demand of JNUSU, and the previous JNUSU had.
organised an Open House with faculty members from JNU and other universities in Delhi to build public opinion on this.
issue. During the past year too, JNUSU has been consistently pursuing this demand..
.
Introduction of an MA Programme in the Centre for Philosophy: This year, an MA programme in CPH was introduced -.
which was another long-standing demand of the student community..
.
Financial Assistance during Fieldwork: JNUSU raised the issue of the need for increased financial assistance for field.
work, separate from contingency funds..

“Ethics by Design” (EbD) is a proactive approach that integrates ethical considerations into every stage of the development process to minimize potential harm to humans, animals, and the environment. This approach is increasingly emphasized within European projects to ensure that ethical issues are not just an afterthought but central to the design and implementation of technologies and innovations.

and instead of a lousy tshirt, i decided to be proactive/preemptive and requested seat covers for the car (knew they'd be back around my bday - dread my 'gift' every year, and every year my dread seems to get reinforced... and i usually refuse to ask for anything, as that seems to me to be the antithesis of the idea of 'gift')
i got seat covers and they would have been sweet - they should have been sweet, except that they were missing the colour! ivory and black, and that might have been fine, we would have tried to get along - but, the ivory had gone a particularly yellow-with-age foul shade of not-quite-white
so, i bought dye
the first run was nasturtium and the results were off the sad scale (never thought about halloween until after the deed, and the orange was as faded-foul as the original)
then i went for scarlet - like you see here, except for i tried to do it in the washing machine... no fuss, no muss and no colour
third time is a charm, so they say
leaving out the part about computer monitors (see below) and effin seat covers!
it looked promising, and i followed the directions - bent over and agitated those buggers for full on forty minutes... and all the colour rinsed out yet again, leaving me with covers that are a dull and cheerless tomato-stain, poor-and-gasping-on-death's-doorstep, relative of red
grrrr!

"Our priority is you, and as you enjoy the day with family or friends, it is our focus to ensure you can do so safely. From the early hours of the morning, to the late hours at night, our officers are deployed across the city centre to protect you.
"Our work doesn't stop here and we will continue to proactively patrol these areas and work with local communities to ensure we are providing the protection you need. We encourage anyone who may have questions or concerns to please approach us, we're always happy to help."
Alongside the neighbourhood teams, Project Servator were deployed in the city centre throughout the week.
Project Servator are our dedicated team aimed at disrupting a range of criminal activity, while providing a reassuring presence for the public.
Across the week, they secured six arrests, demonstrating our continuous efforts to reduce criminality across Manchester and ensure resident and visitors can have an enjoyable and safe time.
Several of those arrests were wanted individuals, who were identified by our Live Facial Recognition technology, which was deployed to Piccadilly Gardens.
Sergeant Lee Keefe said: "These arrests showcase the impact of Project Servator. We are deployed across Greater Manchester and use highly visible and unpredictable tactics to disrupt criminal activity while providing reassurance to the public.
"We all play a role in the safety of our communities, and we ask people to stay vigilant, speak to officers, and report anything that doesn’t feel right. We will always listen and act on your concerns"

A week of intensified activity across the region took place as part of the national Neighbourhood Policing Week of Action, delivering visible policing, targeted enforcement, and strengthened community engagement in response to local concerns.
Neighbourhood teams across all 10 districts carried out proactive operations aimed at tackling the issues that matter most to residents, including anti-social behaviour, drug dealing, shoplifting, and vehicle crime.
Throughout the week, officers executed warrants, conducted hotspot patrols, and disrupted criminal activity, alongside working closely with partners and communities to address longer-term problems.
Across Greater Manchester, neighbourhood officers delivered a series of targeted results, including:
Proactive patrols in led to the seizure of vehicles and e-bikes linked to anti-social use, responding directly to concerns raised by residents.
Plain-clothes operations targeted drug dealing, resulting in arrests and the disruption of organised criminal activity.
Officers dismantled cannabis farms after acting on community intelligence, removing illegal drugs from neighbourhoods.
Additional patrols and enforcement activity in key areas such as Manchester’s Northern Quarter were deployed to address issues raised by residents and businesses.
Alongside enforcement, neighbourhood teams prioritised engagement with local communities, recognising its vital role in building trust and preventing crime.
Neighbourhood policing continues to play a key role in reducing crime across Greater Manchester. Over the past year, neighbourhood crime has fallen by 15% across the force, alongside significant reductions in burglary and vehicle crime and increased enforcement activity.
We have made it our priority to reduce and prevent the crimes that matter most to our communities. In 2023, we guaranteed that every district ward has a named local police officer which can be found and contacted via our website, and that we will tell our communities the work we are doing through our community engagement service Bee In The Loop.
Our proactive crime-fighting his has meant that since 2021 we have reduced burglary by a third, vehicle crime by a quarter, and are bringing to justice 100 shoplifters a week.
Every area of GM has neighbourhood tasking teams (NTTs) to proactively tackle crime, neighbourhood crime teams (NCTs) to bring offenders to justice, neighbourhood policing teams (NPT/NBOs) to patrol our streets and ensure community safety, and a prevention hub to solve problems and reduce crime.
During the week of action, Chief Constable Sir Stephen Watson visited neighbourhood policing teams in Stockport and undertook a warrant in Woodley aimed at safeguarding a potential victim of cuckooing.
Chief Constable Sir Stephen Watson said: “Neighbourhood policing is not merely a nice thing to have; it is an essential cornerstone of our operating model. It means we can manage recurrent demand such that we can simultaneously respond effectively and quickly, investigate crime properly and bring people to justice.
“This important cornerstone of policing has enabled GMP to perform as we have done over the past five years with a year-on-year improvement, which is thanks to the officers we have across Greater Manchester in their dedicated neighbourhood policing teams, supported by PCSOs and our wider partner agencies who have made a difference to people’s lives.
“This week has showcased the dedication of our neighbourhood teams – from proactive patrols and enforcement activity through to meaningful engagement with residents, businesses, and partners.”
“Ethics by Design” (EbD) is a proactive approach that integrates ethical considerations into every stage of the development process to minimize potential harm to humans, animals, and the environment. This approach is increasingly emphasized within European projects to ensure that ethical issues are not just an afterthought but central to the design and implementation of technologies and innovations.
