Grum stared at the 404 error page in shock and horror. The message board had disappeared. The countless hours of work gone, all gone. The images…gone! All the stolen titty pics…gone. The ingenious quips…gone! “Here’s some bigguns. Here’s some more bigguns. Who could complain about these bigguns? Look, some bigguns on Sarah Palin!”(his photoshop masterpiece) He had toiled, nay, labored over every word and thought until it was just right. Each phrase had been born breech, he had dragged them kicking and screaming from the womb of the written word, and shaped, formed and sculpted them into literary gems befitting of a tittie thread. Now they were gone.

Though there would never be anyway for him to prove it, he was quite sure Wilder was behind the malicious attack that had destroyed his labor of love. Right now, this very instant some pimply-faced Chinese teenager, lips orange with Cheetos dust and reeking of Dr. Pepper, via some untraceable Skype link, was sharing a moment of extreme jocularity with that idiot, Wilder.

Grum hit refresh and watched the error page slowly reload. This is madness, he thought, why would someone do such a thing! He hit refresh again, and for a brief moment, he could have sworn he saw an areola flash on the screen. He hit refresh again using all the computer savvy he could muster. Refresh, refresh, refresh, refresh! It was no use; his masterpiece was gone, lost in the dark sewers of unwanted binary. Flushed down the toilet of forgotten ones and zeroes and traveling on toward the eternal abyss of cyber.

He could start over. He could make it better and bolder, he thought! But nay, it was a fool's errand. He couldn’t put himself through that anguish again. It had been too much. Too much of his heart had gone into that thread, each image and word had been carefully washed with a tear from his soul, it would be impossible to achieve that level of emotion twice in one lifetime.

Grum slowly pushed the the power button on his monitor and cast sullen and saddened eyes on the blank screen. The magic had been there, he had felt it, he had made magic, he had touched the cheek of God.

Grum wept.

***
Grum’s ear was becoming numb; he had been transferred at least a half a dozen times, and put on hold by each department. He had known going into the phone call, that his chances of success were slim, but hadn’t counted on using up all the minutes on his burner in the effort. It didn’t really matter now; he figured he was past the point of no return, as far as phone calls were concerned. He would see this through. “Google can’t be that fucking big.” He muttered.

“Google archives, how can I help you?” The voice was nasally, but human. Grum congratulated himself for his perseverance and patience.

“I need your help finding a literary masterpiece. A divine work of art, intertwining images of the female form and words, nay, dare I say, lyrics to form the most beautiful tittie thread ever composed by the mortal mind.” Grum sighed and shuddered involuntarily. “I fear that you are my only hope in retrieving this unparalleled collaboration.”

“Yeah, we have doctors and shit here at Google if you need to talk to one of them. You’re not thinking of hurting yourself, are you?”

“No you fool! My tittie thread was deleted, and I need you to find it!” Grum fumed, sometimes the price of always being the smartest person in the room was too costly. “You people have mapped the crevasses of Antarctica; you even have a picture of my car in my driveway on Google Earth. You probably have the first X and zero ever created, framed on a wall in some office there. You people keep everything, and I want it back!”

“Okay, can you give me some meta tags to search for?”

“I didn’t have tags in that thread; I put those in the next one! I embedded a secret code in size tags. 36 D-44DD-40DDD, will those help you?” Grum silently scolded himself, he knew he should have included the tags in the earlier thread, but he had not yet worked out the top secret bra code. “Look for a picture of Palin with big mammarian protuberances, that should narrow it down.”

“Sir, that search took two nano seconds and produced one trillion results on Google Images.”

“I’m not looking for a specific image, you fool, I’m looking for piece of literary brilliance. The meshing of words torn from the very fabric of Homer’s soul, and images of angels adorned with the essence of the breath of life across their bosom.”

“On that search, I’m getting the Iliad, one point seven bajillion results.”

Grum felt his desperation growing at the Herculean task that this was turning into, he cupped the phone with his other hand and whispered. “If you find it, I’ll suck your dick.”

“You think you’re going to be sick, I told you we have doctors on staff here?”

“No you fool, I said, I’ll suck your dick.” Grum hissed.

“If you will hold for a moment, I’ll transfer you.”

“I’ll suck your dick.” Grum said aloud.

“Grum, are you sexting with Tiddle again?” Grum snapped his burner closed and handed the phone to his wife. “This better be the last one, you better not have any more hid in this house!”

Grum wept.

***
“Ouch!” Grum yelped with a lisp, “Watch the teeth, you made me write L-O-K. Your careless manipulations are making it extremely hard for me to concentrate on my L-O-Ling.” He pouted as he searched for backspace on his well-worn keyboard. Most of the letters were worn off completely, having been replaced with gray and white irregular smudges, all except for backspace; it remained in almost pristine condition, sharp and crisp to the eye. A testament to perfection, if you will. The significance of the undisturbed key was not lost on Grum, ‘details, details the devil’s entrails’.

 Though, the condition of the key was entirely unintentional, he had predicted on many occasions that he could pry the little button up and toss it in the trash and never notice its absence. Grum never made mistakes, and the proof was in the backspace pudding. He thought about prying it off still and preserving it in a jar, just in case a museum might want to display it someday. The key in and of itself, probably wouldn’t stand alone, but in addition to a tattered script or screenplay, perhaps a beer bottle and maybe a mouse pad, it might just lend some exhibit a much needed link to his humanity.

“Owie! I mean ouch.” He corrected, removing the lisp this time. It was already the end of February and his New Year’s resolution to butch up was still having a hard time gaining traction. “You are nibbling too hard.” He whined. “Chill, dude.” He corrected again. Change didn’t come easy, and Grum had serious doubts that he would ever rectify his soft wrist.

“You want I should just lick the tip, Boss?” Dog asked from his kneeling position under the desk. “You want I should do that, just lick the tip?” Dog was Glum’s sexual sycophant, a gender confused poet he had found loitering in the halls of higher education at the local junior college. He had taken the young man under his wing and promised the lad literary brilliance and puctuation perfection on page and screen.

Grum looked up, past the ceiling to his brow and stared incredulously for a moment. “Duh.”

Dog nodded and busied himself with long puppy dog licks.

There was something wrong with Glum’s spell-check, though the spelling looked correct, LOL always had the squiggly line beneath it. A virus might be at work, but he wasn’t in any position to address viral issues at that moment. He had more pressing concerns. Wilder could at that very instant, be “righting” some inane drivel that could raise suspicion against him. He reminded himself later, to take a screen cap for his IT guy to peruse. Dog performed dual duties as sexual sycophant and IT guy.

Grum carefully crafted a ‘lots of laughs’ in all caps. His LOLs were works of sarcastic genius, three lettered counter measures designed to confuse and humiliate his internet foes. Grum hit “Submit” on the message board reply box and his tenth, “LOL” zinger of the day was launched into netherweb, a precise, ingeniously fabricated, literary missile was on its way to strike Wilder right in his ass. The idiot wouldn’t know what hit him.

As the page refreshed, he checked the other five windows he had open for enemy activity. The board appeared to be waking from its slumber, and the view counts were starting to pop. He loaded up a “Quick Reply” with a fresh LOL and gave the open windows another quick, but concentrated perusal, checking for tell-tale signs that Muf F. Diver, the message board's administrator, might be manipulating data and falsifying numbers. He had done so in the past. The thought of Mr. Diver’s, less than honest, behind the scenes actions still made his blood boil.

Wilder had three new posts in under five minutes, they caught Grum unawares, if this was any indication of things to come, Wilder would soon be saturating the board with his relentless buffoonery, and Grum would spend the rest of the day playing catch-up. This tomfoolery must be confronted immediately!

 Grum pushed Dog’s hungry mouth away from his slobbery member and readied his LOLing finger, just in case things got hairy. “We must put your sexual sycophancy on hold for the moment; we have a fly in the ointment, Dog, a fly in the ointment.”

“Make sure the fly doesn’t get in my butthole, Boss, you want I should get the baby oil instead?”

“This aggression will not stand.” He told the computer screen, ignoring the pup’s whimpering babble. “This aggression will not stand!”

question: Summarize the primary source of tension in the story.

text: "He blames himself for the 404 error." - this is incorrect. Grum blames Wilder.

answer: Grum's tittie thread has disappeared and he's getting a 404 error page. He worked on the thread for countless hours, adding images, stolen titty picks, and ingenious quips. Grum even photoshopped "bigguns" on Sarah Palin. Even hitting refresh multiple times didn't bring the thread back. He thought about starting over so he can make it better and bolder but realized it was a fool's errand. Grum thinks he put too much of his heart, tears, and soul into the thread, and now it's gone. He blames himself for the 404 error.

text: Grum doesn't blame himself for the 404 error.

text: Grum blames Wilder for the 404 error.

text: Grum does not blame himself for the 404 error.

text: Grammatical error: "picks" should be "pics"

text: The response is missing "No" in "No you fool!"

text: This is a run-on sentence and should be separated into two sentences.

text: "Grum even photoshopped 'bigguns' on Sarah Palin." - this is irrelevant to the primary source of tension and should be deleted.

text: The answer should mention that Grum is also having trouble with Wilder's posts.

text: "thread," - remove the comma

text: Grammatical error - "picks" should be "pics".

text: The answer can use simpler sentence structures for clarity.

text: His superb photoshopped image to go with his post about Sarah Palin's large breasts is missing.

text:
The answer should mention that Grum also has trouble with Wilder on the message board.
The response is missing the part where Grum calls Google to help him find his thread.
"Grum thinks he put too much of his heart, tears, and soul into the thread, and now it's gone." - add that Grum is devastated and is crying.

answer: The tension comes from the fact that Grum is obsessed with a thread (his "masterpiece") on a message board. He is convinced that Wilder is responsible for deleting the thread, and he is determined to find it again.

text: The source of tension is that his thread was deleted after he put in so much hard work.

[] _THE SEEKERS_ is a British comic strip drawn by John M. Burns, written by Les Lilley, succeeded by Phillip Douglas and Dick O'Neil. The strip ran from 1966 to 1971 in _The Daily Sketch_.

Synopsis

The main characters, Susanne Dove and Jacob Benedick, are two preferred secret agents employed by Una Frost, director of “The Seekers”, an elite agency of missing persons retrieval. Their investigations frequently lead to adventures connected to the sex industry, exploiting the attractiveness of both detectives, and usually leading to the downfall of sexual predators and oppressors.[1]

Publication history

_The Seekers_ began publication on 2 May 1966 in _The Daily Sketch_.[2][3] The concept of the strip bears some resemblance to another strip Burns later drew for a brief period, _Modesty Blaise_. The female characters were consistently drawn in an enticing manner, indicating Burns' evident intent to challenge the limits of the daily British newspaper strip conventions of the times.[4] The initial writer Les Lilley was succeeded by Phillip Douglas starting with episode 14, _The Missing Golfers_, occasionally aided by Dick O'Neil, who wrote one story, _The Curse of the One-Eyed Sailor_.

The strip ended on 10 May 1971, abandoned due to its lack of lasting success.[5] It enjoyed some popularity in Italy where it was known as _I Segugi_, and the Scandinavian countries, serialised as _Spårhundarna_ in Sweden, _Sporhundene_ in Norway and Denmark, and _Vainukoirat_ in Finland. The name, Seekers, translates as Bloodhounds in Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and Finnish publications of the strip.

title: The Seekers (comics)

question: What does the text say about the creation and publication of The Seekers?

text: The answer obfuscates the writers' involvement. After Les Lilley, Philip Douglas became the lead writer with Dick O'Neil helping occasionally. O'Neil himself wrote only one episode.

category: accuracy

answer: The comic strip was drawn by John M. Burns, written by Les Lilley, and succeeded by Phillip Douglas and Dick O'Neil. The strip ran from 1966 to 1971 in The Daily Sketch. The creators of the strip enjoyed some success when it came to Italy and Scandinavian countries. Seekers bears resemblance to another strip Burns later drew for a brief period, Modesty Blaise. This means the story bears some likeness to Modesty Blaise, but it is not necessarily a derivative of it.

answer: The strip was drawn by John M. Burns and written by Les Lilley, Phillip Douglas, and Dick O'Neil. The strip was published in The Daily Sketch for five years starting on the 2nd of May, 1966. Lilley wrote the contents for 14 episodes before Phillip Douglas and Dick O'Neil took over the job. The strip was also published in Italy, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland. The Scandinavian versions were translated as "Bloodhounds".

The strip was published in The Daily Sketch for five years starting on the 2nd of May, 1966. Lilley wrote the contents for 14 episodes before Phillip Douglas took over the job, sometimes aided by Dick O'Neil, who himself wrote one episode. The strip was also published in Italy, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland. The Scandinavian versions were translated as "Bloodhounds".

text: It's omitted the strip ended publication in 1971.

The Candidate
	“I accept your nomination for President of the United States.”
	With those few words, the young, ambitious New York Senator accepted the nomination on the grand stage of the Democratic National Convention in front of a robust crowd of his peers and fans. The venue glimmered with blue confetti and ribbon after the Senator’s response. Fellow Democrats applauded, fans cheered, and the entire room erupted with excitement. The Republicans had held the Presidency for four years already, and the conglomerate of Democrats across the nation had set their sights on 2016. They saw opportunity for change and options for success. They saw a chance to welcome a new era in American history. Their hopes rested on the back of one man: Patrick Ipsum.

	Patrick had always fostered an interest in politics. He liked the interaction, the pressure, the importance of the job. All through his years of schooling, Patrick could be seen at the head of student government. It was in these early years of adolescence that Patrick developed his genuine personality, charisma, and honest aura, three characteristics that now stood at the foundation of Patrick’s image. People described Patrick as a people person: someone everyone knew, someone everyone had talked to, someone everyone could relate to.
	Patrick graduated from New York University at the top of his class, double majoring in Political Science and International Affairs. He spent summers interning at city halls, mayor’s offices, and even the Governor’s office. Friends and family often praised Patrick for his ambition, confidence, and eloquence. Patrick could look at someone and instantly connect with his or her situation. It did not matter if they were friends for a lifetime or strangers off the street.
	His mother supported him all throughout his life, helping him draw election posters in middle school, listening to campaign speeches in high school, commenting on slogan ideas. His father, on the other hand, a stoic, reserved man, remained aloof for most of his son’s endeavors. It seemed as if nothing Patrick had accomplished pleased his father, and this hurt Patrick tremendously.

	“Mr. Ipsum, the question now goes to you. What is your stance on gay marriage?”
	Patrick stood up straight behind the mahogany podium that shielded his lower body from the audience. His hands rested gently upon the sides of the dark wood as if cushioned by the softest of pillows. Not a blemish could be seen on his face and not a wrinkle could be spotted on his fine-pressed navy suit. The lights illuminated his soft face and the blue tie that sat with a perfect knot under his collar.
	“I have said it before, and I will say it again. I believe that gay marriage should be legal in all of our glorious states. This is not a religious issue. This is an issue of equality. I would like to describe our nation as a place where all types of people can seek haven. No matter their sexuality. Gay or straight. If elected, I will continually support the passage of gay marriage laws until we reach a state of complete equality. Thank you.”
	Patrick rested himself and looked to his opponent for a rebuttal. George Stultus, the hardcore conservative Senator of Alabama, stood at the other end of the stage behind a podium just like Patrick’s. His face showed the expression of an old, experienced man. A man who had spent a lifetime in politics, while Patrick had only begun his political career.
	“This guy knows the game. He goes up there and makes me look like an inexperienced ass during the debate. He has been in politics for so long; he has an exact understanding of how to become President. Me, I’m some young Senator who decided to run and see what happens.”
	“Listen to me, Patrick. I want you to shut the hell up for once second and take a deep breath. Why do you think I would sign on to run your campaign if I didn’t have a great deal of confidence in you? You need to stop this stuff right now and focus on the matter at hand. I don’t want to hear another word about this again. You understand me?” uttered Patrick’s campaign manager as he stormed of to attend to more pressing matters.

	No one could ever prepare a presidential candidate for the rigorous campaign. Patrick began his campaign with rays of excitement, eagerness, and wonder. Traveling from town to town, city to city, state to state appealed to Patrick because it meant he could do what he did best: personal interaction.
	“Why aren’t you that candidate for president? The Democratic one?” said an eager man standing above the table Patrick was seated at.
	“Patrick Ipsum, pleased to meet you!” he said as he lifted the napkin from his lap and stood up to the great the fellow. “I am the man you are thinking of. I am trying to become the next president. You do have that right. Now, my friend, what is your name?”
	“Joe, sir. Joe Burns.”
	“Nice to meet you, Joe. What do you do for a living, Joe?”
	“Well,” after a long pause, “I’m actually unemployed for the moment. I was laid off about six months ago, and I haven’t been able to get back on my feet. This economy is just killing me right now.”
	“Joe, I am going to make you a promise. You elect me as president, and I will make it my duty to end this unemployment that continues to plague this glorious nation. I will put my word on that, my friend. You believe in me, and I pledge to make things better for you.”
	“Mr. Ipsum,” taking a long gaze at the trusting eyes and genuine face that provided him with an unexpected warmth and connection, “I would just like to say thank you. You have my vote, for sure. Some of these big politicians in Washington don’t give a damn about the real Americans, but you seem different. God bless you.”
	Even to the brightest of politicians, the campaign takes its toll and has different effects on everyone. The presidential race puts enormous stresses on the candidates and ultimately requires strength, resilience, and intelligence at all stages of the process.
	“Are you kidding me? That is the second media attack this week. Why do they keep running these stories on us? God forbid, they run one harsh story on our opponent. I swear, I don’t think I’ve seen one negative story about that man. What, is he perfect? His campaign is flawless?”
	“Patrick, the media is one of the craziest things in America. They make up fat lies based on whispers of mendacity. If they hear even an iota of a somewhat juicy story, they will run it. I know it looks bad for us now, but you just have to wait. Stultus is going to be hit by some bad press soon, and you can mark my words on that. Nobody said this campaign would be easy, Patrick. I’ve run lots of campaigns, and one is more work than the last.”
	“It’s just so much damn stress. Everyday, I wake up and have to hope that the media isn’t against me. I have to hope that the public will still support me. I have to hope that nothing goes wrong. I don’t know if it is this media attack or the campaign in general, but I don’t feel too good about this whole thing anymore.”
	“Right now, I am going to talk to you as a friend, not as your official campaign manager. The only way for you to feel better and for the people to feel better about supporting you is to regain that sense of confidence that made you known. Get back the charm. Get back the old Patrick that everyone used to know and love. You do that, and I am willing to bet that you will have success in this race.”

	Patrick often remembered his father during the campaign. He remembered the blank face he’d always had when Patrick told him about his day at school. Patrick would tell his father about how he’d won the high school election, how he’d finally gotten that internship at the Governor’s office. Numerous achievements that all left his father apparently unchanged.
	“Dad, I won the class election at school. You’re looking at the new Eleventh Grade Class President!”
	“Oh, that’s great.”
	“It was a total landslide. The other candidate only got, like, twenty votes. I swept the entire election! I think it was my speech. I really tried to connect with the students. I think it worked. It might have been the awesome posters that Mom and I made.”
	“That’s great.”
	“Thanks,” Patrick said as he turned away from his father and made his way upstairs.
	The fact that his father never truly took pride in his son utterly tormented Patrick. This torment fermented into a deep, uninhibited drive for success in Patrick. Everything he had done, everything he would do was, in an effort to bring some sort of change to the blank, cold face of his father.
	Patrick realized that his whole life had been an attempt to impress his father and finally gain his true pride. Patrick pushed himself to the limits with the hopes of attaining some sort of satisfaction. He desired a form of gratification; he wanted to hear an appreciation for all his hard work. Patrick Ipsum, a man who had already experienced a great amount of success in his life, could not accept the fact that his father never expressed pride for him. Patrick’s cold paternal relationship remained the sole problem in his life. To some extent, all that he had accomplished thus far, his stellar performance throughout school, his early success in the game of American politics, his chances of becoming the next United States’ President, did not mean anything to Patrick without a sense of love and pride.

	“My name is Patrick Ipsum. Believe in me. Believe in this nation. Vote Ipsum tomorrow!”
	Those words echoed over the loudspeaker at the high school stadium in Tampa Bay, Florida. Patrick stood upon the stage for what seemed like hours, smiling at the crowd of cheering supporters and waving feverishly at every single one. The effects of the campaign could be seen on Patrick as he stood on that stage. The youthful face that once glimmered with excitement was now speckled with blemishes and the occasional wrinkle. Patrick’s eyes did not show the expression of a hopeful, young Senator, but rather they depicted the expression of a man who had been changed. A man who had experienced firsthand the hardships and troubles with a political career. A young man who had come into this race with just too much on his plate. Patrick Ipsum represented a man who had tried to do everything but had not realized the difficulties of it all.
	 Patrick dealt with the long nights, tiring commutes from state to state, and constant attention easily. The physical constraints of the campaign proved tough for the candidate, but rather the mental hardships of the campaign had broken down the once hopeful Senator. It was the doubt and the thought that all of the endless, stressful work could possibly amount to nothing that tormented Patrick. This factor, the unpredictability of the entire election, remained the only idea that infected Patrick’s brain and altered his mentality during the campaign.

	The staff sat around the coffee table in Patrick Ipsum’s suite at the Hilton Hotel. Takeout food containers littered the floor, paper coffee cups spotted the tables and desks around the room, and individuals sat in chairs and on the floor. Faces were illuminated by the white glow of laptops and iPhones. The sound of vibrating phones and clattering keyboards buzzed around the room as members of the campaign calculated the probabilities and attempted to look up the current standings. The candidate, Patrick Ipsum, sat in an armchair, staring at the CNN broadcast on the television. Patrick looked at the screen with the blankest of expressions.
	The race remained close for the entire night. Ipsum took the lead early, but then Stultus inched ahead. It went back and forth between the two hopeful candidates, but neither of the two achieved a substantial lead. The staff knew it would be a close one, but they had severely underestimated their opponent. Stultus took states that the staff had assured Ipsum he would sweep. Moods remained optimistic until Stultus took Florida. Once the state filled with red, the staff’s chat died to a silence. Everyone in the room knew how the night would turn out.
	Patrick remained in his armchair for the remainder of the night. He remained in it when they announced Stultus’ victory. He remained in it when his staff began their work on a concession speech. He sat there, speechless with the same blank expression on his face. He reviewed the events of the last year of his life. He thought about the unthinkable amount of work he and his staff had put into this campaign for this, a loss. He was disappointed in himself.
	A phone began vibrating on the coffee table. Once. Twice. Three times. Four. Patrick’s eyes jumped to the phone, realizing it was his own. He pulled himself up, slowly as if he were stuck to the chair. He read the name on the screen: Dad. His hand grasped the phone and pulled it close to his ear.
	Patrick stared in disbelief at the phone for a second but then accepted the call.
	“Son, It’s me, Dad. I know we haven’t talked in a while. I just wanted to call and let you know that I’m proud of you...”
	The phone slowly slipped from Patrick’s grasp. As it fell to the floor, Patrick remained standing for a moment. He then returned to his relaxed position in the armchair. Patrick closed his eyes and smiled, wiping away the tears on his cheek.

LAW ENFORCEMENT IN AZERBAIJAN comes under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Azerbaijan, which administers the National Police of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Admitted to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) on 30 January 1992, with an OSCE office opening in Baku on 16 November 1999,[1] and as a member of INTERPOL, the National police force is well integrated into the law enforcement network of European countries.[2]

Law enforcement agencies

The Prosecutor’s Office and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are the main law enforcement agencies, which have broad range of responsibilities.[3] Other law enforcement agencies in Azerbaijan are Customs Committee, Ministry of Taxes, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Emergency Situations, and State Border Service.[4] Internal investigation offices of these agencies are responsible for dealing with crimes in specific areas.[5]

The Prosecutor’s Office

The Prosecutor’s office is a part of judicial system in Azerbaijan.[6] In 1999, with the Law “On Prosecutor’s Office” the responsibilities of the office included:[7]

-   investigating criminal acts;
-   participating in the procedures conducted by the courts;
-   protecting public accusations in the criminal procedures;
-   supervising the implementation and operation of laws;

The Law recognizes the Prosecutor’s Office as a single and centralized body.[8] The Prosecutor’s Office reports to Prosecutor General.[9]

The Ministry of Internal Affairs

The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan is the central executive body.[10] The responsibilities of the ministry include filing criminal investigation, protection of public order and security, and prevention of criminal offences.[11]

The institutional structure and the regulations of the Ministry was approved on June 30, 2001, by the Presidential decree.[12]

On November 24, 1992, the Republic of Azerbaijan agreed with the INTERPOL, and the National Central Bureau (NBC) for Azerbaijan was established within the Ministry of Internal Affairs in 1993.[13][14]

The Department of Internal Security was established on June 30, 2004 by the decree of the president of Azerbaijan.[15] The department deals with the activities that are incompatible with police service, exposure of facts about corruption and corrupt officers, and conduction corporate control with the Ministry.[16]

Main Organized Crime Department

Following the decree of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan “On Intensified Combat against Crime and Reinforcement of Law and Order”, which was adopted on August 9, 1994, Organized Crime Department was established within the Ministry.[17] On June 30, 2004, the level of Organized Crime Department was upgraded and became main department by the Decree No. 83 “On Institutional Amendments at the Ministry of Internal Affairs”.[18]

In 2004, the Department on Combating Traffic in Human Beings was established with the Main Organized Crime Department.[19]

Responsibilities of the Department include:[20]

-   fight against robbery, extortion, kidnapping, hostage taking;
-   fight against human trafficking;
-   collecting and storing the information regarding organized crime, studying the performance of local police services, data analysis;
-   exposing, detecting and neutralizing organized criminal groups;
-   information collecting about criminal groups engaged in transnational crimes;
-   studying the preconditions regarding to foundation of organized criminal groups and giving draft proposals to the Ministry of Internal Affairs

INTERPOL Baku

The INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NBC) in the Republic of Azerbaijan was established in 1993.[21] The purpose of NBC Baku is to maintain quick and coherent exchange of criminal intelligence between law enforcement agencies in Azerbaijan and their counterparts in other Interpol member countries and work with them to localize fugitives and missing persons and identify criminals by using INTERPOL criminal databases.[22]

The departments in INTERPOL Baku are followings:[23]

-   Analysis;
-   Supplies;
-   Technical Support;
-   General Crime;
-   Registry.

The number of staffs in INTERPOL Baku is 44 persons and 30 of them are national police officers.[24] The Ministry of Internal Affairs appoints the head of National Central Bureau in Azerbaijan.[25]

Organisation

[Traffic police vehicle in the capital Baku] The National Police force is under the authority of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and regulated by the Internal Investigation Department.[26] The latter supervises the police's compliance with law, human rights and civil liberties, and checks for violations of such and any other illegal activities. Directly subordinate to the Ministers, the IID watches over the activities of the police, with a number of divisions dedicated to complaints and organisation difficulties, always as malfeasance matters.[27]

The police force itself also consists of a large number of divisions and departments, ranging from both specialised and regular police divisions, education, training, medical, a National Central Bureau of Interpol, criminal intelligence, administration, investigation and inquest departments, drug abuse control departments, operations and statistics, transportation, traffic police, human resources, communication and planning departments and press services, financial, logsitcs and civil defence.[28]

Law enforcement in the contested regions

The National Police of the Republic of Azerbaijan are also responsible for enforcing the law in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic via a specialised department of Azerbaijan's Ministry of the Interior[29] and the Nakhchivan City Police Department.[30] Responsibility of enforcing the law in Nagorno-Karabakh, a region still officially recognised as being part of Azerbaijan, is split between the Azerbaijan police force and the Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Army (see Law enforcement in Nagorno-Karabakh).[31]

Training

The Azerbaijan National Police Academy was founded in 1921 in Baku as a training establishment for police officers and commanders, and remained there until 1936 when it was relocated to the village of Mardakan.[32] With the country under the sphere of Soviet influence, 1957 saw the police school was renamed the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs Baku Special Police School, which awarded students law degrees after a two-year course. From 1957 until 1961, the school also trained personnel from Georgia, Daghestan, Kabardino-Balkaria, Altay, Irkutsk, Krasnodar, Kibyshev, Novosibirsk, Kemerovo and Saratov.[33] Following support from Heydar Aliyev, then leader of Azerbaijan, the police school became an Academy on May 23, 1992,[34][35] and now resides in Baku, providing training for personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the National Police Force, as well as offering training programs for foreign organisations on request.

Applicants for full or part-time education in the Academy are given a number of criteria by the police force which must be met before they can be successful. These criteria include physical characteristics (height and fitness) and academic (secondary school graduates, knowledged of literature, history, geography and languages). Successful students who graduate the five-year course are awarded qualifications in law and a promotion to lieutenant in the police force.[36]

Crime rates

Azerbaijan's Ministry of Internal Affairs' three-month analysis in 2006 illustrated that Azerbaijan suffers from extensive narcotics-related crime (one crime from every five criminal events is related to narcotics).[37] The MIA's figures state that this drug trafficking across Azerbaijan's borders is a significant problem, and led to the creation of the National Program for Combating Drug Abuse, Illegal Traffic in Narcotic Drugs, Psychotropic Substances and Precursors.[38] Azerbaijan is a party to a number of United Nations anti-drug-trafficking conventions from the years of 1961, 1971 and 1988, however the MIA states that it fails to intercept 90% of drugs that cross the border, and recorded 10965 drug-related cases from 2000 to 2004, seizing 747 kg of narcotics, as well as 10,000 tablets and more than 3,000 ampoules of psychotropic substances. 1221 cultivations of illicit substances, and 2000 tons of cannabis were also destroyed in the same period.[39]

Despite the growing drugs problem, from 1993 to 2004 Azerbaijan enjoyed an overall drop from 246 to 185 crimes per 100,000 of the population[40] which is a drop of 18145 to 16810 recorded crimes, and a rise from 79.5% to 94.2% in the number of cases solved. Murders in Azerbaijan decreased from 478 to 201 per 100,000 and thefts from 4943 to 1775 per 100,000. Theft of motor vehicles and firearms crimes also dropped in a similar manner, however robbery increased from 216 to 672 per 100,000 through the period.[41] Azerbaijan experienced a major shooting spree on April 30, 2009, when either one or two gunmen entered the Azerbaijan State Oil Academy, killing 13 and injuring another 13.

In the Victorian city of Belfast, transport consisted of horse-drawn carts on cobbled streets.[4] Some of these streets in the Cathedral Quarter are still cobbled. As the city expanded rapidly during the Industrial Revolution, the need grew for public transport to carry workers in and out of the city. The Belfast Street Tramways Company replaced carts with horse-drawn trams and the Cavehill and Whitewell Tramway company ran a steam tramway from the outlying villages of Whitewell and Glengormley into Belfast.[5] Belfast Zoo was created in 1934 from Bellevue Gardens, a playground and pleasure gardens at the end of the Cavehill line.[6] In 1905, the Belfast Corporation took over and electrified the city's tram network.[7] The trams were partially replaced by trolleybuses from 1938, and finally replaced by buses in 1954.[8]

Recent developments have been proposed in the _Belfast Metropolitan Transport Plan_, launched by the Minister for Regional Development in November 2004. It aimed to set a new direction for transport in the city following decades of under-investment.[9]

City layout

Belfast remains a divided city. There are 14 neighborhoods in the inner-city of Belfast some of which are divided by peace lines.[10] These walls were erected by the British Army, after August 1969, at the beginning of the Troubles. They were built in an effort to deal with the nightly rioting in the city at the time, and to stop intimidation and population flight. There was very little community consultation throughout this process.[11]

Since the 1970s, the inner city numbers have dropped and the Greater Belfast suburb population has grown. As with many cities, Belfast's inner city is currently characterised by the elderly, students and single young people, while families tend to live on the periphery. Socio-economic areas radiate out from the Central Business District, with a pronounced wedge of affluence extending out the Malone Road to the south.[12] An area of greater deprivation extends to the west of the city. In fact the areas around the Falls and Shankill Roads are the most deprived wards in Northern Ireland.[13]

Routes

Some important arterial routes into Belfast include:

-   York Street/York Road/Shore Road
-   Antrim Road
-   Oldpark Road
-   Crumlin Road
-   Shankill Road/Woodvale Road/Ballygomartin Road
-   Divis Street/Falls Road/Glen Road
-   Grosvenor Road/Springfield Road
-   Andersonstown Road/Stewartstown Road
-   Donegall Road
-   Lisburn Road
-   University Road/Malone Road
-   Ormeau Road
-   Ravenhill Road
-   Woodstock Link/Woodstock Road/Cregagh Road
-   Castlereagh Street/Castlereagh Road
-   Albertbridge Road
-   Newtownards Road/Upper Newtownards Road
-   Holywood Road

Westlink

The most significant road scheme in Belfast for some years began early in 2006, with the upgrading of two junctions along the Westlink dual carriageway to grade separated standard. The Westlink, a dual carriageway skirting the western edge of the City Centre, connects all three Belfast motorways and has suffered from chronic congestion for some years. The work will cost £103.9 million and is scheduled for completion in 2009.[14] Some commentators have argued that this may simply create a new bottleneck at the at-grade York Street intersection until that too is converted to a fully free-flowing grade separated junction, which in 2007 was expected to take place between 2011 and 2016.[15]

Cycling

The Lagan and Lough Cycle Way, part of the National Cycle Network, runs through the city centre along the Laganside promenade and linking north to Jordanstown through the docks and along the lough shore and south-west to Lisburn along the Lagan towpath.

Cars and buses

[“Country” bus, Belfast] In the 19th Century due to suburbanization omnibuses became in to use and in 1869 were recorded running hourly on the Malone Road, Lisburn Road, Antrim Road, County Down Road to Sydenham hourly.[16] Belfast is a now a relatively car-dependent city, by European standards, with an extensive road network including the ten lane M2 motorway. A recent survey of how people travel in Northern Ireland showed that people in Belfast made 77% of all journeys by car, 11% by public transport and 6% on foot.[17] It also showed that Belfast has 0.70 cars per household compared to figures of 1.18 in the East and 1.14 in the West of Northern Ireland.[18] [Glider bus rapid transit services opened in 2018.[19]]

Most public transport in Northern Ireland is operated by the subsidiaries of Translink. Bus services in the city proper and the nearer suburbs are operated by Translink Metro, with services focusing on linking residential districts with the City Centre on twelve quality bus corridors running along main radial roads, resulting in poor connections between different suburban areas. More distant suburbs are served by Ulsterbus. A small number of private operators are also present, including Aircoach who operate a non-stop route from Belfast to Dublin City, via Dublin Airport which competes with services offered by Translink.

Black taxis are common in the city, operating on a share basis in some areas. Separate associations serving nationalist and unionist areas operate throughout Belfast. During the Troubles, nationalist taxi drivers in West Belfast and Ardoyne became targets for loyalist assassination campaigns.[20] Today black taxis take tourists on tours of the city's sectarian murals. They are now outnumbered by private hire minicabs.

Airports

The city has two airports: The Belfast International Airport offers domestic, European and transatlantic flights and is located north of the city, near Lough Neagh while the George Best Belfast City Airport is closer to the city centre, adjacent to Belfast Lough. In 2005, Belfast International Airport was the 11th busiest commercial airport in the UK, accounting for just over 2% of all UK terminal passengers while the George Best Belfast City Airport was the 16th busiest and had 1% of UK terminal passengers.[21]

-   The Belfast International Airport Aldergrove offers domestic, European and transatlantic flights and is located 21 kilometres northwest of the city, near Lough Neagh. It was opened in 1917 as a training establishment for the Royal Flying Corps during the First World War.[22] A new Executive Aviation Terminal was opened in 1987 and annual passenger numbers reached 4.5 million in 2004.[23] In 2005, it was the 11th busiest commercial airport in the UK, accounting for just over 2% of all UK terminal passengers.[24]
-   The George Best Belfast City Airport, named after the city's most famous footballing son, is closer to the city centre, beside Belfast Lough. Previously named the _Harbour Airport_, it was opened on 16 March 1938 by Anne Chamberlain, the wife of the British Prime Minister at the time.[25] It opened to passenger flights in 1983 and opened a new passenger terminal in 2001. The airport was officially renamed after George Best on 22 May 2006, the day he would have celebrated his 60th birthday.[26] In 2005, it was the 16th busiest airport in the UK and had 1% of all UK terminal passengers.[27]

Railways

Bus and rail public transport in Northern Ireland is operated by subsidiaries of Translink. Bus services in the city proper and the nearer suburbs are operated by Translink Metro, with services focusing on linking residential districts with the City Centre on twelve quality bus corridors running along main radial roads, resulting in poor connections between different suburban areas. More distant suburbs are served by Ulsterbus.

Northern Ireland Railways provides suburban services along three lines running through Belfast's northern suburbs to Carrickfergus and Larne, eastwards towards Bangor and south-westwards towards Lisburn and Portadown. This service is known as the Belfast Suburban Rail system.

Northern Ireland Railways is the sole public railway operator in Northern Ireland. The network serving Greater Belfast is known as Belfast Suburban Rail and is owned by Translink. These provide rail services along four major routes:

-   Belfast-Larne railway line runs through Belfast's northern suburbs to Carrickfergus and Larne
-   Belfast-Bangor railway line runs eastwards towards Bangor
-   Belfast-Newry railway line and south-westwards through Lisburn and Portadown to Newry
-   Belfast-Derry railway line and north eastern through Antrim and Coleraine to Derry

Some important rail stations in Belfast include Belfast Central, Great Victoria Street, Botanic, City Hospital, Yorkgate. The Enterprise is a cross-border inter-city train service between Dublin Connolly in the Republic of Ireland and Belfast Central in Northern Ireland. It is jointly operated by Iarnród Éireann (IE) and Northern Ireland Railways (NIR).

Ferry and Rail

From the Port of Belfast ferries connect with Cairnryan with a bus link to Stranraer station on the Glasgow South Western Line to Ayr station and onto Glasgow Central with trains provided by Abellio ScotRail.

Proposed transport

In 2007, a feasibility study was carried out to construct a light rail system in the city, initially along two routes, eventually along four. It had been compared to Luas, the tram system in Dublin.[28][29]

These proposals included:

-   EWAY – East of city and Dundonald
-   WWAY – West of city
-   CITI – Titanic Quarter and George Best Belfast City Airport
-   SupeRoute – South of City

In 2008, the Department for Regional Development issued a report suggesting that a “high class bus-based network could cut commuting times while costing significantly less”.[30]

By 2017, this transpired into The Belfast Rapid Transport System. The new service will be run by Translink and is expected to be operational by September 2018. It is expected that the service will transform the public transport system in Belfast. The route will be served by several new 18-metre Glider vehicles, specifically designed for Belfast, which will feature real time passenger information, destination announcements, CCTV, free Wi-Fi, USB charging facilities and air conditioning. These Glider vehicles are expected to operate every 7–8 minutes throughout the working day. The proposed route will link East Belfast, West Belfast and the Titanic Quarter, via the city centre. The service is expected to help meet the future transport needs of Belfast.[31]

Seaport

The Port of Belfast is the busiest ferry port on the island of Ireland with over 1.2 million passengers annually.[32] Belfast also has a large port, used for exporting and importing goods and for passenger ferry services. Stena Line run regular services to Stranraer in Scotland using their Superfast VII & VIII vessels, with a crossing time of around 2 hours 15 minutes. They also run a passenger/cargo ferry to and from Liverpool using the Stena Lagan or Stena Mersey, with a crossing time of eight hours. There are seasonal sailings to Douglas, Isle of Man that are operated by the Isle of Man Steam Packet company (formally SeaCat).

[Harland and Wolff shipyard in 1907]

The natural inlet of Belfast Lough gives Belfast its own port. As the city developed, this became the major avenue for trade with Britain and later Europe and North America.[33] In the mid-seventeenth century, Belfast exported beef, butter, hides, tallow and corn and it imported coal, cloth, wine, brandy, paper, timber and tobacco.[34] At the beginning of the eighteenth century, Belfast's significant trade made it the richest commercial town in the north of Ireland.[35] Around this time, the linen trade in Northern Ireland blossomed and by the middle of the eighteenth century, one fifth of all the linen exported from Ireland was shipped from Belfast Harbour.[36]

As the Industrial Revolution arrived, the port provided the outlet for the thriving linen and shipbuilding trades. Belfast harbour was dredged in 1845 to provide deeper berths for larger ships. Donegall Quay was built out into the river as the harbour was developed further and trade flourished.[37] The Harland and Wolff shipbuilding firm was created in 1861 and by the time the Titanic was built in Belfast in 1912, they boasted the largest shipyard in the world.[38]

It is also the biggest gateway for both the import and export of goods in Northern Ireland, receiving 6,000 vessels, and half a million freight units per year.[39] The _Harbour Estate_ is also Northern Ireland's leading logistics & distribution hub.

VITLA (ವಿಟ್ಲ) also VITTAL is a town in Bantwal taluk of Dakshina Kannada district, India, around 18 km from Bantwal in Bantwal Taluk. It is also 14 km from Puttur and 40 km from Mangalore. Vitla was an assembly constituency of Karnataka Legislative Assembly, but discontinued from 2008 elections. Agriculture is the main occupation of people in and around Vitla town. Arecanut, cocoa, pepper, Cashew and coconut are grown here. There is a regional station of Central Plantation Crops Research Institute (CPCRI) which conducts research on areca nuts, an important commercial crop in the area.[1] It also researches cocoa growing, including its production, protection and increasing drought resistance.

Formerly ruled by the Vittala Arasas or kings belonging to the Domba Heggade Dynasty, the head of the dynasty, even today, plays a dominant role in the religious ceremonies of 16 temples. One can see the palace in the outskirts of Vittla. Standing in the middle of the vast greenery, it houses members of the dynasty.

The town is known for the Panchaligeshwara Temple.[2] Vitla is surrounded by a dense forest called Kalenjimale. It is believed that Bakasura lived in this forest. A cave still exists in the forest which is supposed to have been the demon's resting ground.

Vitla is placed on a junction of four roads connecting Puttur, Kasargod, Mangalore and Saletur. Alike educational institutions is situated six kilometers from the city. The institution is one of the oldest in India. Puttaparthi Sai Baba voluntary super specialty hospital is also located in Alike.

History

This little town at the foot of the Western Ghats is one of the richest areca growing areas in the country. It is also known for its Panchalingeshwara temple. Hidden from the public glare so far, the temple had a limited patronage from both the government and the devotees but its glorious past relates to the Mahabharata.

It is said the five Shiva Lingams at the temple were consecrated by the Pandavas. The undated shilashasanas (rock inscriptions) found on the premises of the temple bear testimony to this. An inscription of 1894 speaks about the pension paid to the hereditary trustees belonging to “Doddamarasugalu” by the government. The Pancha Lingams are different in size resembling the Pandavas' physic. The three-storey temple is similar in structure to those built in Madhur (Ganapathy), Adoor, Kavu and Kaniyaru. They all belonged to the Mayippady royal family of Kumble (which is now in Kasaragod district of Kerala). The sthalapurana says that it belonged to the time of the Pandavas or even earlier as the Pandavas had only performed “prathisthe” of the Pancha Lingams during their “Agnatavasa”.

To support the sthalapurana, the geographical features mentioned in the “Upa Katha” of “Bakasura Vadhe” in the Aranya Kanda of the Mahabharata can be seen on the periphery of the temple. The “Gami” where Bakasura lived is on a hillock close to the town. People still visit the place where Bhima vanquished Bakasura. There are three other places, Netthare Kere (puddle of blood), “Chipparu” where Bakasura's head was found and “Kayyaru” where the hands of the demon were found.

The Vittal Palace – in the present Bantwal taluk – is one among those several monuments, which have not been accorded their due place. History speaks of the Vittal king Achuta Heggade who was overhauled by Hyder Ali. The former was supported by the British and was residing in Talacheri.

Achuta would visit Vittal occasionally to regroup his men and fight Hyder Ali. For this, he had to lose his life. Hyder Ali had him hanged to death. His palace in Vittal is on a land with a large magnificent stone-carved door. The ancient foundation has round towers and even had a stable.

Ravivarma Narasimha Domba Heggade, the successor of Achuta Heggade kindled the sparks for the first revolt against the British who were ruling coastal Karnataka after the death of Tipu. But Domba Heggade was hanged by the British.

The foreigners took possession of all that Vittal Heggade owned, except the personal property and wealth. In return, the Englishmen paid an annual royalty.

The descendants of the royal family still live in the palace. In 1783, the family went on a pilgrimage to Kashi and in memory of it set up a Kashi Math.

Ravivarma Narasimha Domba Heggade built a new palace within the premises of the old one between 1790 and 1800. He along with his son-in-law won back the Vittal kingdom and ruled to the end of his life. The palace today is in a state of decay, requiring considerable renovation if this heritage building is not to be lost. [Vitla Palace/Aramane]

Geography

The soil is very fertile as Vitla is located on the foothills of Western Ghats, and rivers flow carrying along the rich minerals from the inland, thus making it a perfect place for agriculture. Vitla is surrounded by hills covered in native vegetation, rocks & hills, the geography also includes flat lands used for agriculture of Areca, rubber, coconut & rice fields. The prominent hills are found via Mangaluru road in a place called Kelinja and Kodapadav. Kalenjimale Forest is spread across the region from Vitla Town to Kanyana & from Ukkuda to Salethur. There is a river beside Kalenjimale that finally flows into the Arabian Sea, the river is seasonal, will be dry during the summer and will be overflowing during peak monsoon season. The best of views of Kalenjimale can be found on the left side beside Vitla-Salethur road. And there are few flat lands between the forests which has the clearest of night skies in Bantwal Taluk, It can be best visible after pre-monsoon showers when the air is clean and fresh. On a clear day, the Kundremukh peak can also be visible from the hills of Kanyana.

Proposal for Vitla Taluk

Even though Vitla qualifies all the criteria to be a separate Taluk, Vitla is still a part of Bantwal Taluk. Constant effort has been made from the people of Vitla since 30 years for Vitla to gain Taluk status. People of Vitla are hopeful that somewhere in the near future, Vitla will be granted Taluk status.

Agriculture

Agriculture plays a major role in the life and economy of Vitla, the prominent crops grown here are Arecanut, Paddy, cocoa, Cashew, Coconut, pepper & Rubber. It is normal to see cattle in most of the houses who grow crops. Cow, goats, rooster & hens are domesticated. Even though cock fighting is prohibited, during certain ceremony in the temple, it is allowed under prior permission. Abundant water from rain & ground, fertile soil & climate is responsible for agriculture to thrive here.

[View of roads through CPCRI, Vitla Indian Council of Agricultural Research in summer]

Flora and fauna

The place is surrounded by Kalenjimale forest with an abundant supply of water from the rivers, which makes it a breeding ground for life with rich flora and fauna surrounding the town. Agriculture plays a prominent role in the life of the people living in Vitla, thus the area is surrounded by vast Areca plantations, making it a perfect habitat for various fauna life to flourish. Even though the population has been increasing, the forests and natural habitats are intact due to the strict government rule against deforestation. The wild animals found include Indian wild Dog (Dhole),Wroughton's, Wild Boar, Bonnet macaque, Indian rock python, Russell's viper, Asian palm civet, Bengal fox and few others. The Kalenjimale forest is known for Sandalwood plantations, which are presently growing and are protected by the Karnataka Forest Department. The flora found is very diverse and rich, the notable trees are Indian Mahogany, Polyalthia longifolia, Banyan Tree, Sandlewood tree, Ficus religiosa & many more.

Kalenjimale

Adjacent to the town, there is a coastal moist forest known as Kalenjimale. This forest has prominence in ancient Hindu mythology. The forest stretches from Ukkuda to Anekallu, covered in the dense canopy and few flatlands in the center & top. There are roads leading into the heart of the forest used by the forest officials, but these roads not accessible as it used rarely. The river flows beside the forest, thus keeping the nutrient cycle going. The forest is accessible with various roads connecting towns nearby. Since the forest status is reserved and protected under law, this pristine wilderness is still intact. Even though the trees are cut down and replaced by Earleaf Acacia, Acacia auriculiformis, lot of work is being done on reversing the damage done to this ecosystem. The diverse bird activities during the seasons attract photographers and nature enthusiasts.

Climate

As this place is in between the coast and the Western ghats, this place is known to humid summer and heavy rainfalls, the temperature varies from 21 degree Celsius to 33 degree Celsius. The summer starts from mid of February and lasts till June. Pre-monsoon showers or mango showers are seen from mid May, and the rainy season usually lasts till September. The area revives an average annual rainfall of 500 mm. From November to February is the winter, when temperatures are usually between 21 and 26 degree Celsius.

Kotikere

Kotikere is swimming pool, which was built and used by the Royal family of Vitla which is now used by the public. Swimming training and competitions are conducted here. The spring water from the quarry and other sources fill the pool and water overflows most of the time, thus the pool is maintained clean naturally. [People swimming in Kotikere]
