Dismissed Before Reaching Court, Flawed Arrests Rise in New York
Published: August 23, 1999
(Page 2 of 2)
Prosecutors say refusals to prosecute can indicate the quality of arrests. ''It's a test of the evidence,'' Mr. Vecchione of Brooklyn said. ''The arrest that comes in is lacking in some way -- the evidence is not sufficient to support the charge, or the search is a bad search and therefore would not withstand scrutiny.''
His opinion was echoed by Prof. James Cohen of Fordham Law School, who operates a legal clinic there. ''The prosecutor will do a lot of stretching to try to accommodate the police,'' he said. ''When they D.P. a case, it's because it stinks.''
Practice varies widely among the five boroughs, but prosecutors' own counts show a big jump last year. In the Bronx, District Attorney Robert T. Johnson's office declined to prosecute 6,175 cases last year, up from 3,709 in 1997. In Manhattan, District Attorney Robert M. Morgenthau's lawyers turned down 3,608 arrests, up from 2,705 in 1997.
In Brooklyn, where District Attorney Charles J. Hynes has been aggressive in screening police arrests, refusals to prosecute doubled in one year, to 7,365 in 1998, after he instituted a new policy of dismissing cases, but allowing officers to refile if they get more evidence.
In Queens, the ''decline to prosecute'' rate of District Attorney Richard A. Brown's staff is lower than in the other boroughs and actually declined in 1998. But law enforcement in Queens is substantially less intensive than in Manhattan, the Bronx or Brooklyn.
As for Staten Island, prosecutors said that records from previous years had been damaged in a fire, so comparisons could not be made.
For the thousands who are D.P.'ed, it can be a lengthy and harrowing experience.
''It was horrible,'' said Oona Chatterjee, a New York University Law School graduate who was arrested on a fall day last year. ''It was exhausting, and it was humiliating.''
Ms. Chatterjee, who runs a neighborhood legal clinic in Bushwick, spent 15 hours in a Brooklyn precinct house handcuffed to the bars of a holding cell. Trying to intervene for residents of an apartment building who were watching an altercation between the police and a neighborhood resident, she was arrested and taken to the 83d Precinct station.
She was released, with no charges filed, after 22 hours in custody. The city paid a $45,000 settlement to Ms. Chatterjee last month without contesting her false-arrest lawsuit.
''We settled the case because she's a very credible plaintiff,'' said Lorna Bade Goodman, a lawyer with the city. ''It would have ended up in a lying contest between a well-spoken law student and a police officer.''
A New York Times computer study of refusals to prosecute in Manhattan during the first six weeks of 1999 suggest that many of the cases come from minority neighborhoods, which have been the focus of much of the stepped-up enforcement activity of the city police and the source of complaints of police harassment. In the two police precincts that make up Washington Heights, Inwood and northern Harlem, prosecutors threw out 120 of the 2,035 arrests -- a rate, 5.9 percent, that is about twice as high as in the rest of Manhattan during that period.
About half the cases that were thrown out in that area were drug arrests made under the Northern Manhattan Initiative, a multi-agency drug task force organized by Police Commissioner Howard Safir.
And in fact, throughout the borough, drug cases were more likely than other kinds to be thrown out, according to The Times's review. About one in four Manhattan arrests in recent years have been for non-marijuana drug charges. But drug cases made up nearly 40 percent of the cases thrown out by the prosecutors in the first six weeks of 1999.
The police say they cannot explain the increase in refusals to prosecute. Deputy Commissioner Norris said the department, which regularly reviews arrest and prosecution records, saw no drop in the quality of arrests its 40,000 officers made, and no pattern of poorer quality of arrests in minority areas.
''We have so many things in place to make sure the arrest is bona fide,'' Mr. Norris said. ''We know that putting handcuffs on them is not the end of the job,'' he added. ''The guy's got to go to prison, too.''
Department policy continues to emphasize a high rate of arrests. Last year, the police made a record 345,130 arrests in New York City, according to the State Division of Criminal Justice Services. Mr. Norris noted that it was the first year that arrests outnumbered reported crimes, which fell to 326,962.
This year, arrests are running 10 percent below last year's levels -- a trend that police officials fear may reflect less aggressive enforcement in the wake of public criticism over the shooting of Amadou Diallo. But D.P.'s are down as well: police records, which do not entirely agree with prosecutors', show a decline through Aug. 1 that, if it continues, will mean a 12 percent drop in D.P. rates by year's end.
Prosecutors acknowledge that more cases are being declined than in the past, but say they are not responsible for the rise, either.
''Standards in the Bronx have not changed,'' said Steven Reed, a spokesman for Mr. Johnson. ''While there is an increase in the number of cases we decline to prosecute, the reasons are varied and not tracked.''
James M. Kindler, chief assistant district attorney in Manhattan, played down the increase in decisions not to prosecute. ''While there is a rise in D.P.'s, they are still a very small percentage of the total number'' of arrests, he said.
But the prosecutors concede they have had difficulty coping with the flood of arrests, and have resorted to dismissing many of them, including felonies, under the rubric of the A.C.D., or adjournment in contemplation of dismissal.
''The system just doesn't have the hammer to handle those cases as it does for something like murder,'' Mr. Quinn of Queens said. ''You have all these lower level cases coming in and they have to be dealt with to make room for the next group.''
But Mr. O'Donnell, the former prosecutor, said the adjournment in contemplation of dismissal can hide a multitude of sins.
''The D.A. doesn't have to drop the charges, which is a stigma on the Police Department,'' he said. ''The judge -- and I've seen judges begging guys to take an A.C.D. -- gets rid of a junk case without having to go through motions.'' And defendants get to walk -- an enticing alternative for both guilty and innocent.
Such a disposition can also forestall lawsuits against the city, Mr. O'Donnell said. Nevertheless, the rate of false-arrest and malicious-prosecution claims has increased about 8 percent during the Giuliani administration, compared with the five years before. And settlements are up -- the median amount awarded to false-arrest plaintiffs was $12,500 during the first four months of 1999, up from $8,000 last year.
The police say they do not consider an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal an appropriate conclusion to their efforts on the street. ''We'd like to see them serve time,'' Mr. Norris said.
He added that despite the rise in D.P.'s and A.C.D.'s, police officials had no intention of backing off their push for high arrest totals.
''We like to hold up our end of the criminal justice system,'' Mr. Norris said. ''We're still going to arrest people. We believe this is the way to go.''

CALL FOR PAPERS:
Modernism, Christianity, and Apocalypse (18-20 July 2012)
A conference organised by the Department of Foreign Languages at the University
of Bergen, Norway; funded by the Bergen Research Foundation through the
‘Modernism and Christianity’ research project.
Dr Erik Tonning
Dr Matthew Feldman
Professor Paul S. Fiddes (University of Oxford)
Professor John Milbank (University of Nottingham)
Professor Hans Ottomeyer (Former Director of the German Historical Museum)
Professor Marjorie Perloff (University of Southern California)
Professor C. J. Ackerley (University of Otago)

Professor Pericles Lewis (Yale University)
Professor Gregory Maertz (St. John’s University, NY)
Professor Shane Weller (University of Kent)
The modernist imperative ‘Make it new!’ posits a break with traditional artistic forms, but also with the entire mould of a civilization felt to be in a state of terminal decay (‘an old bitch, gone in the teeth’, as a second dictum by Ezra Pound has it). Modernism was steeped in the language of apocalyptic crisis, generating multiple (and contradictory) millennial visions of artistic, cultural, religious and political transformation. This conference will examine the continuing impact of Christianity upon the modernist thinking of Apocalypse in Western culture, covering the period of early-to-high modernism (c. 1880-1945), with glances towards the immediate aftermath of World War II and the Bomb. ‘Modernism’ is not here confined to the arts, and contributions are warmly invited from scholars across the humanities and social sciences.
The modernist crisis is often depicted as emerging ‘after’ disenchantment and secularisation. Yet contemporary assessments of Christianity varied strikingly, as modernist thinkers, artists, writers and political ideologues confronted its entrenched authority and formidable capacity for self-reinvention. Certainly, as the historian Peter J. Bowler has shown, the effort to ‘reconcile’ science and religion was in no way abandoned in early twentieth century discourse. Nor, of course, did the efforts of theologians across the confessional spectrum suddenly cease: on the contrary, theology from Karl Barth to the Nouvelle Théologie and beyond delivered penetrating responses to modernity. More radical theorists and philosophers of the modern from Nietzsche onward also grappled with Christianity, often becoming further enmeshed even while prophesying the Death of God. Indeed, whether read through Frazer’s dying gods or Freud’s paternal totems, the Christian stories stubbornly resisted easy assimilation. Repeatedly, artists and writers exploring radically new modes of religious experience might find their works subtly infiltrated by biblical or liturgical language and iconography. Christianity also garnered modernist converts: for some, the promise of cultural resurrection would converge on a return to orthodoxy following the liberal dilutions of the nineteenth century; while others freely adapted the tradition to suit their spiritual needs. Even those chary of such a step, or actively hostile to Christian faith, continued to reinvent the cultural resources and imagery of the Christian past – if only in order to overturn it in favour of a new future. The political religions of the twentieth century (Stalinism, Fascism, Nazism) promulgated their own revolutionary visions of Apocalypse and a secular Kingdom, casting Christianity as a chief antagonist, or at least as subservient to a vitalist national-political will. Nonetheless, these alternative salvation histories, too, were undeniably linked to their paradigm in the Christian tradition.
The complexities and ambiguities involved in such historical transactions are obvious: and interdisciplinary insights are essential in mapping them. Modernism, Christianity, and Apocalypse thus invites contributions by scholars in all relevant fields. New archival information and empirical research on this period is welcomed alongside broader theoretical and historical re-evaluations of the modernist crisis, or novel readings of central texts. A concerted effort to recover the complex interwovenness of modernism, Christianity and the apocalyptic imagination is especially urgent today, as the very idea of a ‘post-secular’ culture is being interrogated anew in a global context. Indeed, the recent Norway terror by a self-proclaimed crusader for ‘European civilization’ is a horrifying reminder that the contestation of history, and the proclamation of eschatologies, can still turn bloody.

US nuclear vendor Westinghouse is developing a smaller 300-MW version of the AP1000 nuclear reactor design being used in Georgia in a bid to meet what its executives said May 4 was a need for smaller generating units to supply power and offer non-power uses like hydrogen production.

Company officials announced the AP300 reactor design during a news conference, saying a single-reactor plant could be built for $1 billion in capital costs. The reactor is a pressurized water reactor that will borrow components from the AP1000 in an effort to avoid licensing and construction delays that affected the larger unit's deployment, Westinghouse executives said.
The new design is different from an earlier Westinghouse SMR, of 225-MW, that had been proposed for licensing in the UK and US. The company abandoned that project in 2014 saying there was no market for smaller reactors.
Today things have changed, Westinghouse CEO Patrick Fragman said during the news conference.
"Westinghouse has been looking a lot at SMR designs in the past, but the market was never really there," Fragman said. "We thought, going back to the drawing board, having a derivative of the AP1000, leveraging the DNA of the AP1000 and offering very attractive economics ... was effectively the best chance to be among the first."
Westinghouse will compete with a series of other small reactor designs that have gained traction in the past several years. GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy's 300-MW BWRX-300 has been selected by Ontario Power Generation, the Tennessee Valley Authority and Synthos Green Energy for projects in Canada, Tennessee and Poland, respectively. NuScale Power is planning to build a plant comprising several 77-MW reactors at a site in Idaho for customer Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems with US Department of Energy financial support.
The 1,200-MW AP1000 reactor was designed with more passive safety systems and intended to be easier to build than reactors which preceded it.
While there was considerable enthusiasm around 2005 that these reactors would be built in large quantities, the 2011 Fukushima I nuclear accident, falling natural gas prices in North America and a flattening of power demand meant that few such projects went forward.
Those that did were plagued by cost overruns and schedule delays, with the first EPR reactor in Finland and the Vogtle nuclear plant expansion in Georgia just now coming online, despite starting construction in 2005 and 2012, respectively. Four AP1000s are operating in China and one is operating in Georgia at Georgia Power's Vogtle site, with commercial operation expected by the end of June and a second unit approaching fuel loading.
Westinghouse officials said the reliance on the AP1000 design as the basis for the AP300 would smooth the path for licensing and construction.
"It's about re-using an existing supply chain, a mature design," Fragman said.
While components such as the reactor pressure vessel, steam generators and fuel assemblies will be similar to those in the AP1000, they will be "slightly smaller," said David Durham, president of energy systems for the company, during the news conference.
Westinghouse will apply to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission for certification of the design, expected by 2027, Fragman said. Then it will take about three years for site-specific licensing and three years to build the first plant, with power being delivered to the grid from an AP300 in 2023, he added.
The company has been discussing the SMR with potential customers for some time, but cannot name them, Durham said. He said customers beyond traditional utilities are likely, and the reactor could be used for desalination, district heating and hydrogen production as well as power generation.

The non-ranking event gets under way on Sunday in Milton Keynes.
With the New Year reeled in, the Masters snooker seeds will be making the countdown to the first major event of 2021.
Usually contested for in the English capital city of London, this year’s edition will take the unprecedented step of instead being staged behind closed doors in Milton Keynes as a result of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
As things stand, the action is set to begin on Sunday despite the introduction of the latest lockdown across the UK, and in the lead-up we’re taking a look at the contenders in the draw.
In today’s last part, let’s review the Masters seeds ranked from positions one to four in 2021.
4. Neil Robertson (Australia)
The top five seeds in the Masters field this year all understand what it takes to win the event, and Neil Robertson is no different.
The Australian triumphed in 2012 with a 10-6 victory over Shaun Murphy and has featured in two further finals at the Alexandra Palace.
Since making his debut as a wildcard in 2004, Robertson has only lost at the opening hurdle four times when participating in the competition.
The 38 year-old will be expected to add to that impressive haul of first-round successes when he takes on Yan Bingtao in the last 16 next week.
Indeed, Robertson is one of the big favourites after a strong start to this campaign in which he has already made three appearances in finals, capturing the UK Championship title just before Christmas.
Robertson often thrives in matches against the bigger players so the Masters is a good fit for the Melbourne man, and it would therefore be somewhat of a surprise if his career were to end with his name etched onto the Paul Hunter Trophy just once.
A potential quarter-final against Mark Selby could be an intriguing encounter that determines the finalist from the top half of this year’s draw.
3. Judd Trump (England)
The runaway world number one and an ever-present at the business end of almost every tournament nowadays, it’s easy to run out of superlatives when talking about Judd Trump.
So far during the 2020/21 campaign, Trump has won a hat-trick of ranking event titles, reached two additional finals, and has so far not failed to make the last eight of a competition.
It’s a staggering level of consistency and it will be interesting to see how long he can keep it up for, or whether the minor winter break will have had any affect on his game.
This time last year, Trump endured a very temporary blip in form when he suffered early defeats in both the UK Championship and what was the defence of his Masters crown.
The 31 year-old will be looking to threaten again having raised the silverware aloft in 2019 – one of the wins that sparked this two-year stretch of sustained success.
Trump takes on David Gilbert in the first match on Sunday afternoon, probably one of the kindest draws the Englishman could have received given the latter’s poor form of late.
2. Ronnie O’Sullivan (England)
As the reigning world champion, Ronnie O’Sullivan is the second seed and back in the Masters after opting to skip last year’s edition of the prestigious invitational.
Nobody has, or arguably ever will have, the kind of Masters record that could emulate O’Sullivan’s unbelievable record in the tournament.
Since making his debut 27 years ago, O’Sullivan has lost his first fixture only four times – the last of which occurring a decade ago – and the “Rocket” has stormed to the final on a mindboggling 13 occasions.
With seven triumphs, O’Sullivan holds the record for most Masters wins, and even though his form has been decidedly patchy recently, he will still be among the favourites for glory.
While O’Sullivan did well to reach two finals during the first half of this term, his standard has been way off what people are used to seeing.
A tricky opening contest against Ding Junhui will go a long way in telling us whether O’Sullivan will be able to mount a serious challenge again in 2021.
John Higgins or Mark Allen would await in the next round, so if the 45 year-old has aspirations of accumulating an eighth crown, he’ll certainly have to do it the hard way.
1. Stuart Bingham (England)
Stuart Bingham is the reigning champion and the top seed despite being officially ranked 12th and in danger of dropping out of the top 16 ahead of the World Championship later this year.
The Englishman is 21st on the provisional Race to the Crucible standings, so there’s no guarantee that he’ll be back inside the elite bracket this time next year.
The 44 year-old, who became the oldest winner of the Masters twelve months ago when he beat Ali Carter in a nail-biter, will look then to make the most of this defence.
Bingham has been granted with a relatively kind draw in the form of Thailand’s Thepchaiya Un-Nooh, one of the two Masters seeds making their debut in 2021.
In fact, no player from the top quarter has displayed much form this campaign so far, which grants an opportunity for one of them to achieve a semi-final spot.
Bingham hasn’t really played consistently well for two years now, but for one week around this time last year it all clicked into gear and he’ll be after similar results again this time.

The 2018 Suzuki Solio has been spied testing in India for the first time, it is a Wagon R based compact MPV.
Remember the mini MPV showcased by Maruti Suzuki at the 2012 Auto Expo? This is it, the Suzuki Solio. The Japanese compact MPV has been spotted testing in India without any camouflage, apart from the hidden Suzuki logo. The bigger Wagon R has been spotted testing in Gurugram, where the Maruti plant is and we can expect the carmaker to launch it in India soon.
The Suzuki Solio is a Wagon R platform based 7-seater which is also offered in a 5-seater layout. We can expect the carmaker to showcase it at the upcoming Auto Expo. Maruti might launch it as a premium Wagon R offering in the near future based on the customer response.
In terms of styling, the Suzuki Solio has a very boxy design language, which is typically tallboyish. However, it features modern styling elements such as crystal clear tail lamps and edgy cosmetics. The car internationally gets electric sliding doors, feature loaded cabin with the latest infotainment system having Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The Suzuki Solio measures just under four metres in length and if launched in India, we will see the car getting the staple 1.2-litre petrol and 1.3-litre diesel engine options. You might also expect Maruti to give it the AGS (AMT) transmission option along with a manual gearbox.

Apple Watch 8 Series could have new features like thermometer for fevers and more
It was just yesterday when we saw the news about a delay in the production of the Apple Watch 7 Series. But it looks like Apple is already planning for its successor. In fact, sources claim that Apple is looking to even more features to add to subsequent Apple smartwatches.
According to The Wall Street Journal (via MacRumors), Apple has discussed plans to add new health features to its future generations of smartwatches. Internal company documents mention features like a thermometer, blood-pressure trends, sensors to detect fevers, and more. Besides that, the company will also bring some updates to existing models.
In other words, the earliest we could see any of these features would be the Watch Series 8 that would launch next year. Note that the new features are not expected to arrive before 2022. However, it does mean that some of them are purely software-based, which is why they can be added to older models easily.
Of course, this is likely the early planning stages, so things could change. But with that said, what feature would you like to see in the Apple Watch 8 Series? Let us know in the comments, and stay tuned to TechNave for more updates on this.

This topic describes how to perform a sample performance investigation with one statistic from the Performance Analytics tool.
The Delphix Engine uses Network File System (NFS) as the transport for Oracle installations. An increase in the NFS latency could be causing sluggishness in your applications running on top of Virtual Databases. This case study illustrates how this pathology can be root caused using the analytics infrastructure. This performance investigation uses one statistic to debug the issue, and utilizes the many axes of that statistic to filter down the probably cause of the issue. This technique uses an approach of iteratively drilling down by inspecting new axes of a single statistic, and filtering the data to only include information about the operations that appear slow. This technique is valuable for determining which use patterns of a resource might be causing the system to be sluggish. If you isolate a performance issue using this approach, but aren't sure what is causing it or how to fix it, Delphix Support can provide assistance for your investigation.
The following example inspects the statistic which provides information about NFS I/O operations on the Delphix Engine. This statistic can be collected a maximum of once every second, and the axes it can collect, among others, are:
- latency, a histogram of wait times between NFS requests and NFS responses
- size, a histogram of the NFS I/O sizes requested
- op, whether the NFS requests were reads or writes
- client, the network address of the NFS client which was making requests
Roughly the same performance information can be obtained from the iSCSI interface as well.
- Begin the performance investigation by examingin some high-level statistic such as latency.
- Create a slice with statistic type NFS_OPS.
- Set the slice to collect the latency axis.
- Do not add any constraints.
Set the collection interval.
Anything over one second will work, but ten seconds gives good data resolution and will not use a lot of storage to persist the data that is collected. The rest of this example will assume a collection period of ten seconds for all other slices, but any value could be used.
This will collect a time-series of histograms describing NFS latencies as measured from inside the Delphix Engine, where each histogram shows how many NFS I/O operations fell into each latency bucket during every ten-second interval. After a short period of time, read the data from the statistic slice:
setopt steps are optional but allow you to see the output better via the CLI. The output looks like this:
The data is returned as a set of datapoint streams. Streams hold the fields which are shared by all the datapoints they contain. Later on in this example, the opt and client fields will be added to the streams, and multiple streams will be returned. Streams are described in more detail in Performance Analytics Tool Overview. The
resolution field indicates the number of seconds that corresponds to each datapoint, which in our case matches the requested
collectionEvents field is not used in this example, but lists when the slice was paused and resumed, to distinguish between moments when no data was collected because the slice was paused, and moments when there was no data to collect.
- If the latency distributions show some slow NFS operations, the next step would be to determine whether the slow operations are reads or writes.
- Specify a new NFS_OPS slice to collect this by collecting the op and latency axes.
To limit output to the long-running operations, create a constraint on the latency axis that prohibits the collection of data on operations with latency less than 100ms.
greaterThan field is 100ms converted into nanoseconds.
Reading the data proceeds in the same way as the first step, but there will be two streams of datapoints, one where
op=write, and one where
Because we constrained output to operations with latencies higher than 100ms, none of the latency histograms will all have any buckets for latencies lower than 100ms.
- After inspecting the two data streams, you might find that almost all slow operations are writes, so it could be valuable to determine which clients are requesting the slow writes, and how large each of the writes is.
- To collect this data, create a new NFS_OPS slice which collects the size and client axes.
Add constraints ensuring that the op axis should be constrained to only collect data for write operations, and the latency axis should be constrained to filter operations taking less than 100ms.
Because the constraint on the op axis dictates that it will always have the value write, it is not necessary to collect the op axis anymore.
Reading the data proceeds in the same way as the first two steps, but there will be one stream for every NFS client. The dataset collected by this will consist of a set of streams, one corresponding to each NFS client, and each stream will be a time-series of histograms showing write sizes that occurred during each ten second interval.
Continuing to use this approach will allow you to narrow down the slow writes to a particular NFS client, and you may be able to tune that client in some way to speed it up.


National Renewable Energy Laboratory to Host Upcoming NGV Research Workshop
The U.S Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Vehicle Technologies Office is seeking input from NGV stakeholders to understand and prioritize the research needs necessary to increase the efficiency and reduce emissions of medium and heavy duty NGVs.
The DOE and teams at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Argonne National Laboratory, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, will be hosting an open meeting at NREL in Golden, Colorado on Tuesday July 25, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
The meeting will be structured around facilitated discussion on several NGV topic areas and will consist of a brief presentation of recent and current research, followed by a discussion by participants on key emerging research needs and priorities. The meeting is intended to inform a DOE Funding Opportunity Announcement that will be issued later this year.
The Energy and Water Development Appropriations Bill recommends that up to $15 million be appropriated to the Department of energy in FY17 for medium and heavy duty on-road natural gas engine research and development.
Discussion topics will address opportunities for research that can shift the paradigm for NGV technology, such as:
Engine efficiency: Improving efficiency from spark ignition natural gas engines, lean natural gas controls, lubricants, advanced low temperature combustion
Emissions and After-treatment Technologies: Reducing criteria pollutants, low NOx technology, ammonia/unregulated emissions controls, natural gas tailored after-treatment, cold start emission improvements
Fuel System Enhancements and onboard storage: Fuel quality, natural gas composition control, renewable natural gas, right sizing natural gas tanks, injectors and direct injection technology, high pressure fuel delivery to enable advanced combustion.
Please visit the event website for information and to register.

On June 26, officers arrested the 63-year-old manager of club Silk, Kazuko Suwa, and one other employee for dispatching a woman, 64, to supply sexual services to an 82-year-old man at a hotel in Tokyo - a violation of the Anti-Prostitution Law.
"Because the female employees are seniors themselves they know which sweet spots to slowly lick and caress," the aforementioned employee assures.
According to the magazine, such attentiveness proved to be highly lucrative in the booming market of selling sex to the elderly.
Club Silk collected 320 million yen in revenue since 2001. In recent months, earnings exceeded five million yen.
Dubbed "super senior," Silk was staffed by 16 women, whose ages range between 46 and 73. The average age was 63. The 73-year-old prostitute, who is collecting welfare, told police that she thought of the work as a part-time job.
This is the not first bust of such an operation. Promiscuity club Kairakukukan was cited in February.
"Both clubs were very popular with senior citizens receiving welfare and a pension," says a writer covering the fuzoku trade, which is adult entertainment. "Even without large-scale advertising campaigns interest exploded."
The services provided were tailored to meet the demands of the market, says the manager of a popular "delivery health" (out-call sex) operation in Ikebukuro. "Silk has a 9,000-yen course that extends for an hour," says the manager. "That's plenty of time. For a jukujo (mature gal) her physiology is such that intravaginal ejaculation is normal. Especially for a lot of guys in 'silver generation' their approach is to just see a hole and stick it in."

Japan pledged $27 million on Thursday in emergency humanitarian relief for those impacted by two devastating earthquakes in Syria and Turkey.
The World Food Program (WFP) and Japanese non-governmental groups will transport the supplies to two earthquake-stricken countries, Foreign Minister Hayashi Yoshimasa told reporters.
The details of the aid package are being worked out, Yoshimasa was quoted as saying by local broadcaster NHK.
Tokyo will continue to “act swiftly” and provide assistance in any way necessary to earthquake victims, he added.
Japan has been doing its utmost to send rescue crews and aid supplies to the region, based on its experience with earthquakes and other disasters, he said.
At least 36,187 people were killed by the two strong earthquakes that jolted southern Türkiye last week, the country’s Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD) said on Thursday.
The Feb. 6 magnitude 7.7 and 7.6 earthquakes, centered in the Kahramanmaras province, affected more than 13 million people across 11 provinces, including Adana, Adiyaman, Diyarbakir, Gaziantep, Hatay, Kilis, Malatya, Osmaniye, Sanliurfa, and Elazig.
Several countries in the region, including Syria and Lebanon, also felt the strong tremors that struck Türkiye in the space of less than 10 hours.

Riding a stretch of increasing levels of demand for thirteen out of the last fifteen months, the Architecture Billings Index (ABI) dropped in April for the second month this year. As a leading economic indicator of construction activity, the ABI reflects the approximate nine to twelve month lead time between architecture billings and construction spending.
The American Institute of Architects (AIA) reported the April ABI score was 48.8, down sharply from a mark of 51.7 in March. This score reflects a decrease in design services (any score above 50 indicates an increase in billings). The new projects inquiry index was 60.1, up from a reading of 58.2 the previous month.
“The fundamentals in the design and construction industry remain very healthy,” said AIA Chief Economist Kermit Baker, Hon. AIA, PhD. “The fact that both inquires for new projects and new design contracts continued to accelerate at a healthy pace in April points to strong underlying demand for design activity. However, April would typically be a month where these projects would be in full swing, but a severe winter in many parts of the Northeast and Midwest has apparently delayed progress on projects.”
Key April ABI highlights:
- Regional averages: South (55.8), West (52.9) Midwest (49.9), Northeast (43.2)
- Sector index breakdown: institutional (51.8), mixed practice (51.8), multi-family residential (49.0), commercial / industrial (48.9)
- Project inquiries index: 60.1
- Design contracts index: 53.1
The regional and sector categories are calculated as a 3-month moving average, whereas the national index, design contracts and inquiries are monthly numbers.

Leopard sharks (Triakis semifasciata) are a California ocean icon. If you have ever been in the waters off of the California coast between the months of May and September, chances are you have come in contact with these friendly faces. Each summer, they flock in numbers to the warm waters of La Jolla Shores.
Researchers from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) discovered that the majority of the sharks showing up at this beach were pregnant females, using the warm waters of La Jolla Shores like an incubator. After reaching this conclusion, the scientists had more questions they needed to answer. One big question being: how do these pregnant sharks navigate their way to the same beach year after year?
You may already know that sharks have an awesome sense of smell. Here’s the frightening fact that you probably learned on the playground: “a shark can smell a single drop of blood from miles away!” Though that is not necessarily true, sharks really do have an acute sense of smell that helps them find food in a vast, blue ocean. Hunting was thought to be the main purpose of their magnified sense of smell, until Dr. Andrew Nosal and his colleagues at SIO proposed that leopard sharks might use smell to find their way back to shore.
By tagging and tracking 26 leopard sharks, Dr. Nosal was able to determine that in fact these sharks really do rely on smell to find their way to shore. He took these sharks for a boat ride, nine kilometers offshore. While en route, he blocked out the sunlight, inserted a magnet into the tank to confuse the sharks’ electrical sensor, and spun the boat around in all sorts of directions. The goal of this confusion is essentially the same as a game of “dizzy bat”: get the sharks disoriented and see which ones make it to shore fast and easy.
Some of these sharks had their sense of smell blocked by a cotton swab containing petroleum jelly; the others remained the control samples with their nostrils clear. The results of the study found that the sharks whose nostrils were blocked took a more roundabout route back to the shore. The sharks that had clear nostrils figured out the direction of shore faster. However, all sharks ultimately made it home. This means that there is likely another factor helping the sharks navigate, requiring further research.
As in almost every scientific study about sharks, one question may have been answered but dozens more remain. The scientists, like the sharks in the study, now have to navigate their way through a maze of unknowns to solve the puzzle that is shark science today. To most people, the shark remains most easily identified and known by its dorsal fins peaking above the surface of the water. The bulk of the shark and perhaps the answers that lie ahead remain beneath, yet to be explored.

Despite facing some hurdle of price hike of power and gas, the country’s power sector has managed to initiate some of its biggest milestone projects in the year of 2017. However, country’s energy sector couldn’t show us that many promises in this year compared to the power sector. Moreover, the New Year is awaiting with forecasts saying that the primary-energy prices may go sky high.
The price of gas was increased at the beginning of the year and the price of electricity was also raised at the end of the year. To be more specific, the price of gas was increased by a maximum margin of 50 percent. The announcement of this price hike of gas came on 23rd February of 2017. However, in response to the announcement, the Consumers Association of Bangladesh (CAB) even went to the court to justify the rationality of the decision of price hike. It was for the first time, the country has seen someone backing the mass and standing against the price hike decision of the government by going to the court.
The announcement of raising the price of power came on 23rd November 2017 which enacted form the 1st December. Chevron’s departure from the country remained a buzz throughout the whole year. Chevron declared that it would sell out its share in Bangladesh and would prefer to leave the country to compensate its losses. However, later, at the end of the year, Chevron changed its mind and declared that, it’s not leaving. In the meantime, the price of gas of Chevron was raised.
Bapex (Bangladesh Petroleum Exploration Company Ltd.) has discovered a new gas field at Shahbazpur in Bhola. The new field is estimated to have a total reserve of 700 bcf gas, claimed Bapex. It might not be a huge reserve of gas for the country yet, the discovery of the Shahbazpur gas field revived the hope of the energy-craving nation. The managing director of Bapex informed that, the gas field of Shahbazpur is prospective and the field might have a bigger reserve than estimated.
Continuing from the previous year, the price of fuel oil in the international market was at the bottom throughout 2017. However, the government didn’t lessen the price of fuel oil amid pressure from the local consumers.

He said: "The figures show that more deals are closing as it is a settled market now. It is easier to close deals than it was five or six years ago."
In 1997, PFI debt in the UK stood at £1bn.
Morrison added that borrowing this year might be slightly down on last, but would still be significantly higher than at any other time since PFI was introduced.
Noteworthy projects include a £600m deal with the Ministry of Defence at Colchester garrison in Essex and a £1bn contract for the Allenby and Connaught barracks refurbishment in the South-east.
The amount borrowed was highest in the transport sector, which accounted for nearly £3.8bn.
The bank that raised the most money for PFI deals last year was the Royal Bank of Scotland (see graph).
It organised finance on 12 contracts worth nearly £1.5bn. They included a £177m Docklands Light Railway extension in south-east London and a £333m Metronet bond.

The night began poorly for the Estevan Tarpon Energy Big Dogs and things didn't get any better from there.
A shorthanded Big Dogs club got trounced 26-3 by the Regina Riot in their second game of the Prairie Gold Lacrosse League season on Friday night in Regina.
With only 12 players showing up for the game, the Big Dogs had their work cut out for them from the start.
"When you're missing guys like Dylan Smith, Ryan Frehlick, Wayde Curzon, and there were three or four other guys missing ... it's such a fast-paced game that when you go down to two lines, you just can't do it," said Big Dogs head coach Evan Handley.
And it only went downhill from there as key player Marshall Holzer dislocated his shoulder on the second shift of the game.
"It was just a brutal game from start to finish. It was pretty awful," said Handley.
"It was one of those games that every coach looks at and says, 'Just forget about it, we'll forget this ever happened.'"
Rhett Handley scored the Big Dogs' first goal at 10:18 of the opening period, cutting the Riot's lead to 3-1 at the time.
Mark Moriarty would score two goals of his own later in the game to account for the rest of Estevan's offensive output.
Moriarty netted the team's second goal at 6:53 of the second period and scored again at 10:46 of the third.
Ryan Curzon added two assists while Ryan Kenzie and Tanner Froese also picked up helpers.
"We did do some things well on offence at times," said Handley, who said the size of Regina's goalie made it tough to get balls past him.
"Their goalie played really well and made a number of big saves off guys like Curzon, (Kelsy) Omland and Rhett."
Handley said the officiating in the game was "horrible", adding that Regina went after the Big Dogs' top players and that Curzon in particular took a lot of abuse.
The Big Dogs were assessed 47 penalty minutes while the Riot received 38.
Handley said Kenzie, Dustin DeBruyne and Kaitlin King were among the standouts for his team.
The Big Dogs are back in action on Sunday when they visit the Moose Jaw Mustangs. Their next home action is the following weekend when they host the Prince Albert Predators on June 2 and the Riot on June 3.


A new report from MacRumors says this year iPhone 13 models are slightly thicker than their predecessors and also have relatively larger camera bumps.
The iPhone 13 Pro will come pretty close to the iPhone 13 Pro Max in camera specs
The camera bulges on the new phones are expected to be visibly thicker compared to the current models. The iPhone 13 Pro will have a 3.65mm thick camera island and the iPhone 13 will have a 2.51mm thick bump. For the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro, these values are between 1.5 mm and 1.7 mm.
The iPhone 13 Pro is also expected to have a significantly larger camera hump. The current models have a bump that is roughly 28mm x 30mm and the size is reportedly going to increase slightly to 29mm x 29mm on the iPhone 13. It is also moved one millimeter closer to the top.
Increasing the dimensions of the camera bump can also lead to the repositioning of other elements such as the volume button and the side and mute buttons. More precisely, they could be placed a little lower.
iPhone 13 rumored specs
According to previous reports, the new models will have smaller notches than the current variants. Despite these changes, the overall picture won’t look much different from the iPhone 12 if there are any signs of leaks.

Background Unlike our previous inpatient surveys, we focussed solely on the medical input. Our medical Clinical improvement volunteer, an experienced clinician, carried out this project.
Aims To survey 40 inpatients on their experience of our medical input.
From Aug '12-Feb'13, forty inpatients completed the questionnaire. 5 of the 10 questions (asterisked*) were benchmarked against national comparators. This benchmarking was undertaken by the Centre for Health Service Research, University of Kent, in 2004/5 and 2008/9.
Q1. How soon after arrival did the doctor see you? Q2. Was the doctor polite and courteous?* Q3. Did the doctor understand your priorities and concerns?* Q4. Were you able to ask the doctors questions when you wanted?* Q5. Did the doctors explain what they thought was happening?* Q6. Are the doctors available to see your family? Q7. How would you rate your medical care?* Q8. Any aspect of your medical care you are unhappy with? Q9. If you could change one thing in your medical care? Q10. Any comments or suggestions for the doctors?
Results In the five questions which were nationally benchmarked, (asterisked*), our results compared favourably, exceeding them in each case. Qs 1&6 also scored highly.
The final three questions, asking patients to critique their medical input, only provided limited suggestions. This made us wonder if it is difficult to make critical comments; however this was done with a volunteer, not a staff member.
Patient concerns expressed were calls for consistent daily medical review and patient anxieties around discharge home.
Conclusions We were heartened that inpatients felt overwhelmingly positive with their medical care. We have responded to the comment about consistent review and we aim to repeat the survey in eighteen months.

Album review: Kelly Jones - Don’t Let The Devil Take Another Day
- Credit: Archant
Jones recrafts his songs in the live arena with touches of brass, strings and piano.
From feisty ‘90s Brit-rockers to FM juggernauts, Stereophonics have sold more than 8.5 million albums here in the UK alone. But what does DLTDTAD add to the ‘Phonics canon that 2006’s Live From Dakota didn’t? Well, quite a lot.
Jones embarked on a tour last year – badged as a solo outing but with a band of multi-instrumentalists – performing a slew of ‘Phonics faves plus two cuts from his 2007 solo LP, rearranged to varying extents.
Clocking in at just under two hours (and curiously omitting the song from which it takes its name), the record is sprinkled with anecdotes which won’t be new to hardcore fans, but do serve to realign our focus on the context, origin and inspiration of some of the band’s biggest hits.
It opens with a tender, slow rendition of Hurry Up And Wait, led by piano with Jones’ guitar strums just audible above. It’s preceded by a tale of his first exposure to music, listening through the bathroom door to his brothers playing Dylan, The Eagles and Neil Young on a ghetto blaster.
You may also want to watch:
Jones also reminisces about his kinship and misadventures with late drummer Stuart Cable, including an anecdote about them in Keith Richards’ dressing room, which serves to add bite to the tender tribute Before Anyone Knew Our Name.
The band’s debut single Local Boy In The Photograph, sparsely arranged and gently sung, is all the sadder for the passage of time, while versions of more recent cuts like the reflective Boy On A Bike and This Life Ain’t Easy (But It’s The One That We All Got) sound all the better for losing their deadening studio sheen – as does a disarmingly raw semi-acoustic take of Maybe Tomorrow.

A cover of Kris Kristofferson’s Help Me Make It Through The Night also features; Jones’ performer dad sang it to him as a child, and here Jones appropriates that legacy, building from downcast strums to a climax of dramatic piano and moving, throaty blasts.
Elsewhere, swooning violin, gentle piano and a touch of lap steel guitar helps You’re My Star pull harder on the heartstrings, and smoky trumpet solos add interest to I Stopped To Fill My Car Up and character to Mr Writer.
Where this set really succeeds is in casting a good few songs in a new light and releasing others from the shackles of the production desk.

High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a recurring condition amongst individuals which can eventually lead to health concerns such as a heart disease. Your blood pressure is figured out by both the amount of resistance to the blood flow within your arteries as well as how much blood your heart pumps. Luckily, high blood pressure can be diagnosed very quickly, and once it is detected, you can take medications as prescribed by your doctor to control it.
Although individuals with high blood pressure usually do not have signs or symptoms even when their blood pressure might be reaching dangerously high levels, a few people do experience symptoms. Examples of these symptoms include headaches, nose bleeds, and shortness of breath. However, these symptoms usually occur when your blood pressure has become life-threatening. Therefore, it is essential to frequently get your checkup done by a doctor who will take your blood pressure reading as part of the routine checkup.
Primary essential hypertension is a type of high blood pressure found in adults that does not have a cause that can be traced back. It usually just occurs gradually over time.
Secondary hypertension is a type of high blood pressure occurring due to an underlying condition. Unlike primary hypertension, this happens very quickly and suddenly. Some of the underlying conditions as to why it might lead to secondary hypertension include kidney disease, thyroid problems, illegal drugs, and specific birth control pills.
Over time, as you grow older, getting high blood pressure increases with your age. Until around the age of 64, high blood pressure is predominantly found in men instead of women. Statistics show that women are more likely to develop it after the age of 64.
If you have individuals within the family who have high blood pressure, then it is likely for you also to get it compared to those who do not have a family history with blood pressure.
Lack of exercise:
Not being physically active can be a concrete reason for high blood pressure. This is because people who do not exercise have a higher heart rate. The higher your heart rate is, the more your heart works to pump blood. Lack of exercise also increases the chances of becoming overweight.
Smoking increases your blood pressure and damages the lining of your artery walls. This can lead to your arteries becoming narrow and raising your risk of heart disease.
Having too much salt as part of your diet can raise your bodily fluid resulting in an increase in your blood pressure. Alcohol as part of your diet can also increase blood pressure and damage both your liver and heart.
Having high-stress levels can also lead to your blood pressure rising. Habits related to stress, such as binge eating or smoking more, can consequently lead to high blood pressure as well.
Hence, if you wish to visit a cardiologist to discuss any heart-related or blood pressure concerns, we have the best ones available. You can find the best Cardiologist in Lahore and the Best Cardiologist in Islamabad that you can choose from according to your city.
