This easy-to-read book explains the nuts and bolts of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 that clinicians need to understand and use in their daily practice. This Act now gives all clinicians the authority to provide medical care and treatment for people over 16 years of age who lack the capacity to consent for themselves. It covers: how to assess whether a person lacks capacity and how to clarify the threshold of decision-making incapacity; the range, scope and limitations of the various authorities to treat (including 'best interests' decisions, advance decisions and lasting powers of attorney); the range of safeguards in place (such as the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLs), the Court of Protection and Independent Mental Health Advocates); and relevant aspects of the Human Rights Act 1998, the Mental Health Act (including all recent amendments) and illustrative case law. There have been numerous developments in case law in the two years since the first edition. The second edition expands on clinically relevant issues from the courts, and assists in bridging the gap between court judgments and the frontline clinician.

The Rowman & Littlefield Handbook of Policing, Communication, and Society brings together well-regarded academics and experienced practitioners to explore how communication intersects with policing in areas such as cop-culture, race and ethnicity, terrorism and hate crimes, social media, police reform, crowd violence, and many more. By combining research and theory in criminology, psychology, and communication, this handbook provides a foundation for identifying and understanding many of the issues that challenge police and the public in today's society. It is an important and comprehensive analysis of the enormous changes in the roles of gender in society, digital technology, social media, and organizational structures have impacted policing and public perceptions about law enforcement.

This is an introductory text and laboratory manual to be used primarily in undergraduate courses. It is also useful for graduate students and research scientists who require an introduction to the theory and methods of nanopore sequencing. The book has clear explanations of the principles of this emerging technology, together with instructional material written by experts that describes how to use a MinION nanopore instrument for sequencing in research or the classroom.At Harvard University the book serves as a textbook and lab manual for a university laboratory course designed to intensify the intellectual experience of incoming undergraduates while exploring biology as a field of concentration. Nanopore sequencing is an ideal topic as a path to encourage students about the range of courses they will take in Biology by pre-emptively addressing the complaint about having to take a course in Physics or Maths while majoring in Biology. The book addresses this complaint by concretely demonstrating the range of topics - from electricity to biochemistry, protein structure, molecular engineering, and informatics - that a student will have to master in subsequent courses if he or she is to become a scientist who truly understands what his or her biology instrument is measuring when investigating biological phenomena.

IS THE TOWN OF DULCE, NEW MEXICO THE LOCATION OF AN UNDERGROUND BASE GUARDED BY U.S. FORCES AND INHABITED BY A GROUP OF SINISTER EXTRATERRESTRIALS? OR IS ALL THE UFO AND PARANORMAL ACTIVITY IN THE AREA MERELY A FALSE FLAG DESIGNED TO ACT AS A CONVENIENT COVER STORY FOR SECRET BLACK PROJECT OPERATIONS? OR PERHAPS SOMETHING EVEN MORE SINISTER IS TAKING PLACE AT THIS LOCAL AS SUGGESTED BY RADIO HOST JC JOHNSON WHEN HE ASKS, "Are the beings working with the government there in fact demons whose evil exceeds anything we may think we know about aliens in Dulce?" "It is an absolutely incredible story," says Timothy Green Beckley, editor of the Conspiracy Journal. Since the mid to late 1970s there have been all sorts of rumors about an underground laboratory beneath the town of Dulce. The UFO Hunters show on the History Channel recently featured the entire saga of what has been taking place on Native American soil, and a few days later George Noory and Coast to Coast AM plunged head first trying to make sense out of the various accounts that have surfaced. Beckley admits that it is difficult to pin-point exactly when this macabre saga started to develop. But he gives credit to an engineer named Paul Bennewitz for getting the ball rolling when Bennewitz says he was called to the area when aliens started to communicate with him over a radio receiver. He had been directed to Dulce after observing UFOs over Kirkland Air Force Bases nuclear storage facility. Standing near the tall cliffs outside Dulce, Bennewitz took a series of photographs showing unidentified craft diving into the mountains through what he claimed were entrance ways that could be opened and closed. Around the same time there was a dramatic increase in animal mutilations in the vicinity and at least one person, Christa Tilton came forward to claim that she was abducted and taken to this subterranean facility. Her full report and all the information which makes for a startling cosmic Dragnet story are included in this far reaching work. One individual in the U.S. military who was involved in the early stages of this investigation claims he engaged in hand to hand combat with ETs who had taken over level seven of the Dulce Base after a conflict with our soldiers. Another person involved in this epic committed "suicide" shortly after the "Dulce affair" was made public. Much has been speculated upon regarding this sinister matter. But this is the complete work that contains balanced information and details from all sides. First time ever interview with Paul Bennewitz who was pushed over the edge never to return to sanity.

IN THE CORNER OF A SMALL TOWN IN AMERICA'S SOUTHWEST SOMETHING VERY STRANGE IS GOING ON IS AN ALIEN "FIFTH COLUMN" ALREADY ACTIVE ON EARTH PREPARING TOTAL CONQUEST VIA IMPLANTATION'S AND MIND CONTROL? According to the author -- who only used his first name for privacy reasons (and because he is deathly afraid ) -- "The repercussions of what is taking place here will soon be felt throughout the whole country, when the beast has reached out with its deadly tentacles to invade our seemingly impregnable fortress, causing it to crumble and fall." Did U.S. Military Forces perish recently in hand-to-hand combat with a group of hostile Greys who subsequently seized control of one of our Top-Secret underground bases? And has the New World order established an unholy alliance with this group of ETs? In Dulce, New Mexico, seemingly everything has gone haywire, becoming the epicenter of: Cattle mutilation phenomena. . .Energy Grids. . .Secret Societies. . .Underground Anomalies. . .Conspiracies Between Townsfolk and "Outsiders." . . Unexplained Legends and Mythology Concerning Various "Lost Civilizations." . . Geomagnetic Enigmas. . .Abductions and Missing Time. . .Hostile Alien Beings. . .Peculiar Sounds and "Movements" Coming From Beneath The Earth. As discussed on the History Channel, Coast to Coast, and TheParaCast.Com
