In 2016, 133 law enforcement officers died in the line of duty. Of those deaths, 60 were from gunfire and 53 were from automobile accidents. Two of the officers who died were Officer Ashley Guindon and Deputy Sheriff Eric Oliver. Officer Guindon was fatally shot while responding to a domestic disturbance call. Deputy Oliver was struck and killed by a vehicle while pursuing a fleeing subject on foot. Both officers were young and left behind families, with Officer Guindon having only served two days on the police force. Comments on memorial pages for both officers expressed condolences to their families and appreciation for their sacrifice in service.
The document summarizes the growing integrity crisis and lack of legitimacy within Kenya's top leadership. It discusses how the opposition, led by Raila Odinga, decided for the first time to boycott Kenya's independence day celebrations due to compromised government officials. Western nations have also refused to engage with President Uhuru Kenyatta's government over electoral issues and integrity concerns. The opposition now seems to be adopting a long-term strategy of boycotts and exposing the government's lack of popular support to apply pressure.

Essay about the violence and sexual assault in the us military womenPaulo Arieu
This document discusses violence and sexual assault against women in the US military. It reports that as more women serve in combat roles, reports of sexual violence have increased. Statistics show sexual assault rates against military women range from 4.2-7.3% for active duty and 11-48% for veterans. The number of reported sexual assault cases increased by 26% from 2007-2008 and another 33% from 2009-2010. Despite increased awareness, many cases still go unreported due to fears of retaliation.

The document discusses the US strategic objectives in Pakistan and key intelligence developments between 2001-2012. It notes extensive US intelligence penetration in Pakistan through NGOs and development projects. It also mentions restrictions placed on the CIA in Pakistan after the Raymond Davis affair in 2011. The document analyzes the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) launched by the US in 2003 to project military power worldwide under the guise of intercepting weapons shipments. It argues the PSI has been used to expand US naval presence in strategic seas and waterways globally. The document suggests the US aims to make China's position in Pakistan difficult and to denuclearize Pakistan, though the latter goal may be difficult to achieve.

Respons imun pada bayi dan anak terhadap bakteri.Ariyanto Harsono
The document discusses the immune response in babies and children to bacterial infections. It presents diagrams of the immune system pathways involved in both innate and adaptive immunity. The innate immune response involves cytokines that activate natural killer cells, neutrophils, and macrophages to attack pathogens. The adaptive response involves T helper cells that activate B cells and cytotoxic T cells. Memory cells are also generated to mount a faster response upon future exposures. The mechanisms discussed aid in phagocytosis and lysis of extracellular bacteria through opsonization, complement activation, and Fc receptor binding.
Mohammad Wahid Abdullah Khan has over 28 years of experience working in various finance and accounting roles in Bangladesh. His work history includes positions as Chief Cost Accountant, General Manager of Accounts and Audit, Manager of Accounts and Finance, Assistant Manager of Finance and Budget, and Auditor. He has obtained over 300 certifications in areas such as financial management, business, digital literacy, and IT skills.

The document discusses the differences between performance auditing and financial auditing. Performance auditing examines the economy, efficiency, and effectiveness of an organization, assessing if resources are being used appropriately and if the organization is achieving its objectives. Financial auditing focuses on ensuring financial statements are accurate and that the organization is complying with accounting standards and regulations. Some key differences highlighted are that performance auditing evaluates if targets are being met and makes recommendations for improvement, while financial auditing does not.
Intravenous immune globulin for prevention and treatment of neonatal sepsis, ...Ariyanto Harsono
This document discusses a meta-analysis of studies examining the effectiveness of intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) for the prevention and treatment of neonatal sepsis. For prevention, 12 studies with nearly 5000 neonates were analyzed. Five studies found a statistically significant protective effect of IVIG against sepsis while one found a higher sepsis rate with IVIG. For treatment of sepsis, three studies with a total of 120 sepsis cases were examined. A meta-analysis found a statistically significant decrease in the mortality rate among neonates given IVIG to treat sepsis. The conclusion is that IVIG treatment effectively decreases the mortality rate from neonatal sepsis based on meta-analysis, while its role in prevention remains unclear.

In recent weeks, we have been troubled to see the Cambodian
government exerting unacceptable private and public pressure on Radio
Free Asia to self-censor their reporting of issues sensitive to the
government. Instead of seeking corrections, or even pointing out
specific areas of purported inaccuracy to clarify their point of view for
the record, the government has once again resorted to threatening legal
action against the individual investigative reporters involved. The
constant threat of litigation by a government, for politically sensitive but
accurate reports about the government, is not the hallmark of a free
press and is inconsistent with core democratic values.
