I believe that these changes have and will continue to positively impact officer safety and improve public trust and confidence. These changes also include how we communicate with our community, equipment upgrades and continued "use of force" training of the more than 3000 sworn members of the Dallas Police Department. ![]() ![]() Conducted reviews of departments under investigation or consent decree by the Justice Department to understand past failures and determine best practices in the management of officer involved shooting incidents.Mandated that all officers receive Taser training and maintain their certification.Created a community engagement team with the Community Affairs Unit to respond to community concerns and manage programs that create community trust and engagement.Improved consensual search policy to require written or video documentation that a citizen voluntarily consented to a search.Enhanced review of digital video recordings by a specialized unit.Implementation of a response to resistance report that documents officers' use of force to overcome resistant suspects.Notification of the FBI Civil Rights Office at the time of all officer involved shootings.Many of those changes came after an officer involved shooting in 2012 and include: In an effort to increase transparency, officer accountability, and improve officer safety, the below policy changes and initiatives were implemented.

Jennifer Bui and her husband, Long Nguyen, are franchisees of the New York-based company. If you are a fan of having crepes separately, you will enjoy this version, which is made with 100% gluten-free rice flour. The crème brûlée itself is excellent and the crepe has a slight sweetness.

Good news for fans: Phat Eatery’s expansion to the space next door should be completed by January 2020, and that means shorter wait times for tables. The dish is a spicy, stir-fried water spinach, but it’s the belacan (shrimp paste) that packs a potent pop of flavor. The Kangkung belacan is a vegetarian dish, and yet you don’t have to be a vegetarian to appreciate its standout flavor. It’s so simple, yet it packs amazing texture and flavor. The Roti Canai is literally just roti (a flaky flatbread) served with a curry dip. ![]() The two standout items, for me at least, are the Roti Canai and the Kangkung Belacan. Phat Eatery: Owner Alex Au-Yeung and his Malaysian eatery have received a lot of media attention this past year, landing on the “Best Of 2018” restaurant lists at the Houston Chronicle, KPRC and Houston Food Finder, as well as Eric Sandler’s inaugural Top 100 Restaurants list for CultureMap Houston. Listed below are my personal favorites including specific dishes you should consider. ![]() at any one of the restaurants at Katy Asian Town almost every single weekend. Michelin-starred, Hong Kong-based dim sum chain, Tim Ho Wan, is soon opening next door at the Katy Grand Development. The center includes everything from well-known eateries, such as Mala Sichuan and Beard Papa’s (known for its decadent cream puffs), to local Chinatown favorites such as Phanh Ky Asian Noodle House and Gong Cha. Located at 23119 Colonial Parkway (the northeast corner of Interstate I-10 and Grand Parkway 99), the multi-use shopping center anchored by H Mart - a vast, 40,000-square-foot location of the Asian supermarket chain - opened in September 2018. Thanks to the existence of Katy Asian Town, that’s no longer the case. It used to be that, in order to get quality Asian cuisine, Katy and West Houston residents would have to drive to “Chinatown”, a six-square mile area roughly bounded by Fondren, Beechnut, State Highway 6 and Westpark. Really, it’s fair for those who don’t know to be a little floored by this revelation. Here’s a frequent comment I get from surprised Houstonians when I bring up Katy Asian Town center: “There’s a Chinatown in Katy?” These days, he resides in Cinco Ranch with his wife, Kristine, and beloved pug, Tyson. A graduate of Mayde Creek High School, Thomas and his family have lived in Katy since 1979.

Before lowering the dumbbell, take a deep breath and brace your core. Some athletes will lower the dumbbell slightly below head level. Pause at the bottom position for a second or two before returning it overhead. You should take anywhere from approximately two to four seconds to completely lower the dumbbell. Here’s what it should look like: Important Notes Pause there for a second before returning to the starting position. You should end with the weight in line with your head. Keeping your arms (mostly) straight, lower the dumbell(s) down and back. You want your palms to be facing each other. Lay down so that your head, neck, and back are on the bench.Įxtend your arms straight up toward the ceiling, so that they form a 90-degree angle with your torso. Note: You can also use one dumbbell in each hand. We recommend you start with something light so that you can first get comfortable with the movement. Sit down on a bench with your feet firmly planted slightly wider than the bench itself. Let’s dive right in and talk about how to do dumbbell pullovers, a few variations, and what the benefits are. This is a simple but powerful exercise that requires only a set of dumbbells and a bench - although you can even do it without a bench (more on that in a minute). If you’re looking to build insane upper-body strength, you can’t go wrong with dumbbell pullovers. ![]() 7/2/2023 0 Comments Online virtual piano games![]() In fact, if you buy a Yamaha piano, you’ll also get a three months’ premium Flowkey membership thrown in.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who has warned lawmakers that the government may default on its obligations as soon as June 1, also poured cold water on the idea. “I’ll be very blunt with you, when we get by this, I’m thinking about taking a look at, months down the road, as to see whether what the court would say about whether or not it does work,” Biden said earlier in May after meeting with congressional leaders about the impasse. The president acknowledged as much, saying that he doesn’t think it would solve the current problem. ![]() Were Biden to invoke the 14th Amendment to allow Treasury to borrow above the debt ceiling to pay the nation’s obligations, it would almost certainly prompt a constitutional crisis and swift legal action. “The federal government is required to pay the debt on time in full,” said Epps, who has long supported using this option in the event Congress refuses to raise the debt ceiling. The section was designed to remove debt payments from potential post-war partisan bickering between the North and South, but it also applies to the wide divide between Democrats and Republicans today. Lawmakers who crafted the amendment are very strongly saying that once the US borrows money, it has to pay it back, said Garrett Epps, a constitutional law professor at the University of Oregon. “The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned,” reads the section, which refers to the debt incurred by the Union to fight the Civil War. Tribe of Harvard Law School, point to Section 4 of the amendment as the basis of their argument that the president has the authority to order the nation’s debts be paid regardless of the debt limit Congress put in place more than 100 years ago. How could a 145-year-old change to the US Constitution that gave citizenship to former slaves serve as a path out of the debt ceiling drama? Government officials and legal authorities are divided over whether it does.
![]() Olivia says her goodbyes to her brother, but Olly again emerges at a gigantic size, knocking off Bowser and further altering reality. He gets defeated again and pushed off the arena by Mario, Olivia, and a transformed origami Bowser. ![]() Olivia tries to comfort him, only for Olly to stop her and express his anger at her siding against him before showing his "true power of origami" by turning into a giant origami version of himself, in the process removing the Audience and warping reality. Olly then states he intends to defeat Mario and fold his body into the last crane he needs, and battles him and Olivia by using his shapeshifting powers to turn into each of the Vellumentals.Īfter Olly's first defeat, he collapses, presumably tired. He also reveals he has turned Princess Peach into a tapestry behind him, and finally, reveals his endgame: to wipe all the Toads out of existence using the Thousand Cranes technique, of which he already has 999 complete. He eventually attempts to kill them by setting Stapler on them, which leaves Olivia somewhat traumatized until Bowser and Mario both reassure her.įinally, Mario, Olivia, and Bowser reach the throne room, where King Olly reveals his hatred for Toads to them. Olly appears to taunt the trio a few times as they make their way through the castle. Then, shortly after Mario, Olivia, and Bowser reach Peach's Castle, King Olly transforms the castle into Origami Castle. ![]() King Olly incorporating Princess Peach into the wall of his castle In the process of clearing the roadblock and saving Olivia, their traveling partner Bob-omb sacrifices himself. Eventually, he gives up the idea and crushes Olivia beneath a boulder, blocking the entrance to Breezy Tunnel in the process. King Olly later reappears in Sweetpaper Valley and attempts to get Olivia to rejoin him. Mario, Olivia and Bowser manage to escape, but are separated in the process. He then summons five paper streamers which he uses to close off Peach's Castle and transport it to a volcano, planning to turn the castle into a replica of the castle made for the origami festival. After the soldiers are defeated, Olly reveals himself to Olivia's horror and announces his plan to turn the world into his kingdom. While Mario, the freed Olivia, and a stapled and partially folded Bowser attempt to leave the castle, King Olly, disguised as a yellow Shy Guy and accompanied by the corrupted Princess Peach, confronts them, bringing up again the idea of joining him before sending a handful of Folded Soldiers at them. The Origami Craftsman wrote a message on King Olly wishing he would grow a fair and kind king, but Olly misinterpreted it as a "careless scrawl" and became embittered. However, the craftsman felt like taking more advantage of the opportunity, so he used the forbidden Fold Of Life technique, granting Olly sentience upon completion. Hopefully there will be a greater number of available consoles by the time Paper Mario: The Origami King is released.King Olly was created by the Origami Craftsman to fit into an origami castle created for the Toads' Origami Festival. The recent pandemic has slowed production, but reports indicate that Nintendo has contacted multiple suppliers and told them to prepare for a greater number of consoles. Rumor has it that Nintendo plans to produce 10 percent more Switch consoles this year than it did last year. Thankfully it appears that Nintendo is ramping up production of the console. Some consumers have been willing to purchase the console at the inflated price, while others have built their own Nintendo Switch with spare parts. ![]() The consoles are then being resold on the websites such as Amazon and eBay at higher prices. Auto-purchasing bots have been buying multiple copies of the consoles as soon as they are restocked at retailers. Unfortunately many people have had a difficult time acquiring a Nintendo Switch. Other cheerful games like Animal Crossing: New Horizons have proven to be very popular over the last few months. Super Mario: The Origami King is very colorful, cheerful, and is described as a “comedy-filled adventure.” This kind of game seems like the perfect distraction during this period of time. ![]() 7/1/2023 0 Comments State of decay 3 release date![]() ![]() Finally, this game will not be a major departure from what we all loved about the original game. Second, there will be an entirely new crew of companions, and quite possibly a new protagonist as well. First, we’re going to be leaving the Halcyon system, or at least be able to go to a new star system in addition to it. Same Outer Worlds.” From that, we can assume a few things. Thanks to an official tweet of the teaser from The Outer Worlds account, the team added a few brief lines: “New star system. Thankfully, a little more information has creeped out about the game. Alone, that teaser really gives us very little to work with except for the fact that The Outer Worlds 2 is being made, and will also be set in space. Obsidian, via the humorous narrator, is upfront about the fact that they have no character models, gameplay, or anything else about the game complete except for the title. They show off a cool monster and immediately remark that it won’t be in the final game, then mock how slow-motion action shots are used to make things seem cooler than they are to bump pre-orders and how they all have to end with musical cues placed over sweeping shots of the environment until we get to a silhouette of the protagonist. ![]() ![]() The trailer’s narrator breaks the fourth wall basically instantly, mocking how traditional teasers and reveals are shot.

Too Many Cash-Strapped Fire Protection Districtsĭoes that make any sense? Not to the El Dorado County grand jury, which had repeatedly advocated for consolidating all or at least some of the fire districts into a single agency. Cal Fire (aka the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection) also provides fire protection throughout the county, and the Eldorado National Forest, where the Caldor Fire began, is under federal jurisdiction. The responsibility for protecting the county’s 193,000 residents and their property against these repeated fires is spread over 10 separate fire districts, as well as the South Lake Tahoe Fire Department, many of them relying on volunteer firefighters. In 2019, there were also six including the Caples Fire. The previous year, the county saw six wildfires, the largest being the 36-acre Sophia Fire. In 2021, through the end of September, El Dorado County endured the Caldor Fire and four other, smaller fires, according to CAL Fire incident reports. But wildfires are nonetheless a regular feature of El Dorado County life. The 2019 Caples Fire burned 3,485 acres and the 2014 Sand Fire just 4,240, also crossing into Amador County. The Caldor blaze may have been the largest in years. The fire burned more than 220,000 acres in six weeks, by which time it was only 83 percent contained. ![]() Past Table Top Exercises GFFSC Table Top Drill Welcome letter 2019.doc GFFSC Table Top Wildfire Scenario - 2019.docx GFFSC Table Top Wildfire Evacuation Scenario - 2017.docx GFFSC Table Top Wildfire Evacuation Scenario - 2015.docx GFFSC Table Top Evacuation Scenario 2013.Igniting in mid-August, the Caldor Fire exploded across the El Dorado National Forest in El Dorado County, forcing more than 22,000 people to evacuate and destroying the small mountain community of Grizzly Flats.
