## Plot

The intimate diary of Patricia Harper tells the story of her four years at co-educational Stafford College. Attracting the attentions of Dan Carter and Hal Evans she falls in love with Dan only to be accused by her fellow student Peggy Wilson of stealing him from her. Consequently, Pat decides not to see Dan again and he is persuaded by Peggy, in an effort to regain his affection, to take her out in Hal's car. On an 'out of bounds' road the car knocks down a policeman and runs into a ditch but the pair escape unrecognised. Peggy's vanity case is found in the car, however, and she is expelled from the College without divulging the identity of her companion.

During the Christmas holidays Hal and Pat join a party of students, which includes Dan, on a mountain ski-ing expedition. Dan manages to separate Pat from the others and takes her to a forest ranger's hut where, finding themselves alone, they make love. Hal; jealous and angry with Dan, reveals to the Dean that Dan was in his car with Peggy and Dan, too, is expelled. He leaves without saying goodbye to Pat. When Peggy visits the College to collect personal belongings Pat confides that she is pregnant. Peggy advises her to marry Hal but Pat refuses to deceive him and writes a letter of explanation which Peggy promises to deliver. Pat and Hal are married but it is not until three years later that Pat discovers that Peggy did not deliver her letter.

On that same day Dan returns from South America and Hal, without revealing to whom he is married, takes Dan home to dinner. Dan tells Hal that he betrayed Pat but that he loves her and wants to marry her. When Pat returns home and finds that Hall now knows the truth about the child there is a violent quarrel and she confesses that she still loves Dan. Hal agrees to a divorce so that the parents of the child he thought was his can be married.

# Confessions of a Driving Instructor

***Confessions of a Driving Instructor*** is a 1976 British sex-farce film directed by Norman Cohen and starring Robin Askwith and Anthony Booth.

It was the third instalment of the *Confessions* series, based on the novels by Christopher Wood (as Timothy Lea).

## Plot

Timothy Lea joins his brother-in-law's driving school. Their school is soon in rivalry with a competing school, while Timothy finds himself involved in erotic adventures with his clients, secretary and landlady. His clients are a mix of the inept and the dangerous and mayhem ensues. A rugby match is organised between the two schools, at which one of the rival school's instructors unknowingly swallows a powerful aphrodisiac and rampages around the field, an event that leads to the climactic car chase.

## Cast

## Critical reception

*The Monthly Film Bulletin* wrote: "A fifth-rate potboiler of proven commercial value. Considering all the whiskery gags and double entendres wheeled out in this episode of the Cohen-Wood *Confessions*, it is surprising that Miss Slenderparts' reckless driving is the single example of a woman-driver joke (which is incidentally amusing only because the stuntperson substituting for Irene Handl is so plainly a burly man). More dispiriting than the ingenuous hero's three or four mannerisms (an apprehensive glance, a tug at the underpants, an empty grin) is the misguided enthusiasm displayed by both old and new hands."

# Computerized Criminal History

**Computerized Criminal History**

## FBI CCH

On December 10, 1970, the Attorney General decided that the FBI would take over management responsibility for the CCH system, rather than LEAA, a joint LEAA/FBI entity, or a consortium of States. The FBI named the system the Computerized Criminal History (CCH) program and operated it as part of NCIC, using NCIC computers and communication lines.

The CCH program began operations on November 29, 1971, joining wanted persons and stolen property files maintained in the NCIC. On an interim basis, the CCH file was to contain the detailed criminal history of each offender whose record was entered by the States into the system. Eventually, under the single- State/multi-State plan adopted by the FBI, NCIC/CCH would maintain only summary data in the form of an index of single-State offenders, while the States would maintain detailed records. For multi-State offenders and Federal offenders, NCIC/CCH would maintain the detailed records."

## CCH Alabama

"CCH (Computerized Criminal History System), an online database of criminal offender information available to qualified criminal justice agencies. CCH provides complete, statewide "rap sheets" on offenders, as well as a rapid flow of criminal offender information that aids criminal justice officials in making more realistic decisions with respect to bail, sentencing, probation, and parole. Alabama is an Interstate Identification Index (III) and Felon Identification in Firearms Sales (FIFS) participant."

## CCH Colorado

"The Computerized Criminal History (CCH) database contains detailed information of arrest records based upon fingerprints provided by Colorado law enforcement agencies. Arrests which are not supported by fingerprints will not be included in this database. Additionally, warrant information, sealed records, and juvenile records are not available to the public. To locate information regarding registered sex offenders, you must contact your local law enforcement agency."

## CCH Florida

The Falcon Project. "The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), in its mission of promoting safety and protecting life, is a nationwide leader in information technology for preventing, investigating, solving, and prosecuting crimes. Its computerized criminal history records (CCH) represent the third largest state criminal history repository in the nation: over 4 million offenders, 15 million arrests. The CCH, along with an automated fingerprint repository (AFIS), has been an invaluable source of information for criminal justice agencies, government, and the public."

## CCH Georgia

"GCIC maintains Georgia's computerized criminal history database that includes the fingerprint and criminal history records of more than 2,600,000 persons. Georgia traditionally ranks among the top states in the nation, along with California, New York and Florida in the number of criminal fingerprint records processed each year."

## CCH Louisiana

"The Bureau of Criminal Identification and Information manages and oversees the Automated Fingerprint Identification System. AFIS is a statewide, automated fingerprint identification system, which is integrated with mugshot and computerized criminal history (CCH) information. The goal of this system is to provide real time identification of individuals at the time of booking, resulting in timely updates to the state's CCH, mugshot and fingerprint databases. All of this is accomplished in a paperless environment. The Bureau of Criminal Identification and Information provides operational management and technical assistance to the users of the system in addition to ensuring system operational compliance and quality control."

## CCH Minnesota

"The Computerized Criminal History (CCH) System is the State central repository for data on subjects arrested for felony, gross misdemeanor, enhanced misdemeanor and some misdemeanor offenses. It is used by the criminal justice community for decisions regarding investigations, arrests, bail/bond, criminal charges, plea bargains, convictions, probation, and placement in correctional facilities. It is also used during mandated background checks on individuals seeking employment or licensing for various positions. CCH also contains valuable information for researchers. "

## CCH New Jersey

"Presently, there are over four thousand New Jersey Criminal Justice Information System (NJCJIS) field terminals which access the Bureau's computerized criminal history files for arrest, prosecutorial, and custody information."

## CCH New York

"Source: New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services, Computerized Criminal History system. Includes all fingerprintable arrests for NY State Penal Law Article 221 offenses as the most serious charge in an arrest event. Ages 16 and older. 1978 data was used for 1977."

## CCH Oregon

"The Computerized Criminal History unit is responsible for maintaining criminal history information through LEDS (Law Enforcement Data System). The computerized criminal history is established based on fingerprints and includes arrest information, court information, and custody information received from the Department of Corrections. Law enforcement agencies are required by statute to submit a fingerprint card to ISS for all felony crimes as well as all sex and drug misdemeanor crimes."

## CCH South Dakota

The State's Computerized Criminal History (CCH) system contains data on subjects arrested for misdemeanors and felonies in South Dakota (per SDCL 23-5-1 and 4) that go through the State courts, along with all penitentiary entries and follow-up criminal information.

## CCH Texas

Chapter 66, Code of Criminal Procedure (CCP) defines the Computerized Criminal History System (CCH) as the statewide repository of criminal history data reported to 01691064 by local criminal justice agencies in Texas. CCH is one component of the Texas Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS). The other component of CJIS is the Corrections Tracking System (CTS) managed by the Criminal Record of Texas (DCJ).

# OSCE Needs Assessment Team in Armenia

An **OSCE Needs Assessment Team in Armenia** was deployed by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) in the territory of Armenia between 21 and 27 October 2022 following the Armenia–Azerbaijan border crisis.

## Timeline of events

On 18 October 2022, Foreign Minister of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan stated that the deployment of OSCE observers in addition to 40 European Union monitoring experts to the Armenia–Azerbaijan border from the Armenian side was under discussion.

On 19 October 2022, the OSCE confirmed it would deploy a "needs assessment team" to Armenia between 21–27 October 2022, following a request made by the Government of Armenia. The team was composed of international experts and representatives of the OSCE Secretariat. The team assessed the situation in certain border areas and held consultations with international partners.

On 20 October 2022, the EU confirmed that the OSCE mission is independent and non–related to the EU's mission. However, the EU's mission will liaise with all relevant international organizations, including the OSCE.

On 22 October 2022, Foreign Minister of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan and representatives of the Armenian Armed Forces met with the OSCE needs assessment mission, headed by the representative of Poland in the OSCE, Colonel Robert Arkadiusz Tkaczyk. Mirzoyan expressed "hope that the mission's activities, observations and final report will be a source of objective information about the situation resulting from the Azerbaijani aggression".

On 24 October 2022, the OSCE assessment mission visited the Syunik Province of Armenia. The mission met with local representatives and visited communities affected by Azerbaijan's offensive.

On 26 October 2022, the Secretary of the Security Council of Armenia, Armen Grigoryan met with the OSCE mission. During the meeting, Colonel Robert Arkadiusz Tkaczyk expressed confidence that the OSCE will continue to deepen cooperation with Armenia.

On 27 October 2022, the OSCE mission met with Armenia's Deputy Foreign Minister Paruyr Hovhannisyan. The mission presented its work they carried out and damages they recorded from the conflict. In turn, Hovhannisyan highlighted the "engagement of the OSCE, as a pan-European security organization, in the prevention and settlement of conflicts".

## Reactions

### Positive

* Armenia: Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan expressed confidence that the OSCE Minsk Group would assist in promoting a peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
* France: Former French ambassador to Armenia Jonathan Lacôte stated, "This decision marks the result of the actions by the French Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, Catherine Colonna, after the armed attacks of Azerbaijan on the Armenian territory. The deployment of this OSCE mission will make an additional contribution to the respect of Armenia's security and territorial integrity."
* United States: The US mission to the OSCE stated, "The United States strongly supports the activation of the OSCE’s confidence-building and conflict prevention instruments, including the establishment of a needs assessment team on the territory of Armenia."

### Negative

* Azerbaijan: The Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan criticized the mission believing that it did not have an official mandate and that its reports should not be considered to be official OSCE documents.
* Russia: Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated, "These steps by the West threaten the balance that was achieved in difficult conditions through agreements between the leaders of Russia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia".
* Turkey: Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu denounced the "unacceptable" decision, saying it was against the OSCE's own operating rules.

title: Connecting Communities

abstract: Connecting Communities: Expanding Access to the Rail Network is a 2009 report by the Association of Train Operating Companies (ATOC) identifying potential expansion of the National Rail passenger railway network in England, primarily through the construction or re-opening of railway lines for passenger services, and the construction or re-opening of up to 40 new passenger railway stations. The report was published on 15 June 2009, and identified 14 commercially viable schemes involving new passenger lines, requiring the definite re-opening or construction of at least 30 new stations. These schemes would use a mixture of historically closed lines, recently closed or currently operating freight-only lines, or sharing heritage railway tracks with permission from their owners. The report also identified seven commercially viable sites for new Park and Ride stations to be built on existing lines. The report also identified seven potential new passenger 'link lines' on the existing rail network, opening up new passenger routes but without new stations. The report covered relatively low cost, short term, localised schemes, with lead times from initiation to completion ranging from 2 years 9 months to 6 years, complementing larger schemes already in place for completion past 2014. For the schemes to reach completion, the proposals would need to be taken forward by the respective local and regional governments, Network Rail and the Department for Transport. The schemes would complement development to the national rail network already undertaken since 1995, comprising the completion of 27 new lines and 68 stations, with 65 new station sites identified by Network Rail or government for possible construction. However the great majority of these new lines and stations are in Scotland, Wales and London. The report examined schemes in England only, since rail development in Scotland and Wales was already being organised by Transport Scotland and the Welsh Assembly.

***Connecting Communities: Expanding Access to the Rail Network*** is a 2009 report by the Association of Train Operating Companies (ATOC) identifying potential expansion of the National Rail passenger railway network in England, primarily through the construction or re-opening of railway lines for passenger services, and the construction or re-opening of up to 40 new passenger railway stations.

The report was published on 15 June 2009, and identified 14 commercially viable schemes involving new passenger lines, requiring the definite re-opening or construction of at least 30 new stations. These schemes would use a mixture of historically closed lines, recently closed or currently operating freight-only lines, or sharing heritage railway tracks with permission from their owners. The report also identified seven commercially viable sites for new Park and Ride stations (a.k.a. Parkway stations) to be built on existing lines. The report also identified seven potential new passenger 'link lines' on the existing rail network, opening up new passenger routes but without new stations.

The report covered relatively low cost, short term, localised schemes, with lead times from initiation to completion ranging from 2 years 9 months to 6 years, complementing larger schemes already in place for completion past 2014. For the schemes to reach completion, the proposals would need to be taken forward by the respective local and regional governments, Network Rail (the infrastructure owner) and the Department for Transport.

The schemes would complement development to the national rail network already undertaken since 1995, comprising the completion of 27 new lines (totalling 199 track miles) and 68 stations, with 65 new station sites identified by Network Rail or government for possible construction. However the great majority of these new lines and stations are in Scotland, Wales and London. The report examined schemes in England only, since rail development in Scotland and Wales was already being organised by Transport Scotland and the Welsh Assembly.

## Methodology

ATOC took a top down approach to the method of identifying possible sites for introducing new services and infrastructure, by first identifying areas and communities not well served by the current national network, and then comparing those with opportunities for development based on simple reinstatement or existing lines or the construction of relatively short new lines. This approach took into account the fact that many communities had grown in population since losing a previous service, and others had been entirely built without a rail connection.

Using demographic and industry data, ATOC compared the usage levels of passenger rail in other well-served areas of the country, and determined a baseline population figure of 15,000 (based on the 2001 census), above which level, communities were considered potential candidates for commercially viable new schemes.

These potential locations were then compared with a map of the lines and services that had been cut in the Beeching Axe of the 1960s, and beyond. This identified a candidate list of 75 possible communities, which were further reduced based on an analysis using passenger demand forecasting, local traffic congestion levels, local commuting patterns, the feasibility of any new rail route, the capital cost, and the proximity of existing rail access locations.

Many options were eliminated due to the loss of important permanent way features such as bridges, although many of the remaining proposals include construction of new level crossings and in at least one case the construction of a new bridge.

The 35 locations that remained after this analysis were then evaluated further against the use of possible new services by customers, taking into account for example factors such as local traffic congestion, to give a benefit-cost ratio (BCR) figure for each scheme, which determined whether these schemes would be included in the report as commercially viable in the opinion of ATOC.

## New rail and station schemes

Of the 35 schemes identified in the report Methodology, the final report detailed 14 schemes involving line and station development which had an indicated benefit-cost ratio (BCR) of greater than 1, when examined with proposed new passenger services, meaning that the possible new services would be commercially viable. The report summarised the remaining schemes analysed with a BCR of less than 1, on the basis that there could be a net benefit of the schemes when taking into account regeneration and expansion that would occur if the scheme was implemented.

Of the 14 schemes with a BCR above 1, six are on existing freight or heritage railway lines, three are on recently closed freight only lines and the remaining five use part of the permanent way of lines closed in the past. The heritage railways involved include the Paignton and Dartmouth Steam Railway and the East Lancashire Railway.

Eight of these 14 schemes involve the extension or diversion of existing passenger services. The remaining six would require new services to be integrated into the existing capacity on the main lines they connect to.

Three of the schemes also link currently separate parts of the network, Leicester – Burton, Washington (Leamside Line) and Brownhills (Walsall – Lichfield line), bringing possible additional benefits for freight traffic and provision of diversionary routes.

The 14 schemes with a BCR greater than 1 were as follows:

| Scheme name | Proposed services | Estimated capital cost | Number of proposed stations | Proposed stations |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Aldridge | Birmingham New StreetWalsall Sutton Park Line | 6 | 1 |  |
| Ashington and Blyth | Newcastle/MetroCentre – Ashington Blyth and Tyne Railway | 34 | 3 |  |
| Bordon | Aldershot – Bordon Bordon Light Railway | 50 | 1 | * Bordon (half mile closer to Bordon than the former Bordon station) |
| Brixham | To Exmouth to Churston (for Brixham) via Exeter Paignton and Dartmouth Steam Railway and Avocet Line | 0 | 2 |  |
| Brownhills | Walsall to Lichfield via Brownhills South Staffordshire Line | 122 | 2 |  |
| Cranleigh | Extension of London WaterlooGuildford stopping service Cranleigh Line | 63 | 2 |  |
| Fleetwood | Preston – Fleetwood Fleetwood Branch Line | 14 | 2 |  |
| Hythe | Hythe to Southampton, Southampton Airport and Romsey Fawley Branch Line | 3 | 1 |  |
| LeicesterBurton | LeicesterBurton or Derby Leicester and Swannington Railway | 49 | 6 |  |
| Rawtenstall | Manchester Victoria to Rawtenstall via Heywood East Lancashire Railway | 50 | 6 |  |
| Ringwood | to London Waterloo or London Victoria | 70 | 1 |  |
| Skelmersdale | Ormskirk to Skelmersdale railway station via Skelmersdale Branch | 31 | 1 (+1) |  |
| Washington | NewcastleManchester Airport Leamside Line | 86 | 1 |  |
| Wisbech | Wisbech – MarchPeterborough Wisbech and March Bramley Line | 12 | 2 |  |
|

Marked out for additional mention was the reopening of Portishead railway station on an existing freight route, where the BCR could be raised from 0.6 to above 1.0 if re-evaluated, due to high local population growth post-2001 and traffic congestion at Junction 19 of the M5 motorway.

## Proposed parkway stations

The report identified seven possible locations for new Park and Ride stations (a.k.a. Parkway stations) to be built on existing passenger lines, to serve communities with a population of 15,000 or more. These schemes all had benefit-cost ratios of over 1.7, up to 10.2. The locations are as follows:

| Location | Line | Estimated capital cost |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Rushden Parkway | Midland Main Line (on site of former Irchester railway station) | 6 |
| Horden / Peterlee (station opened in 2020) | Durham Coast Line (on site of former Easington station) | 2 |
| Kenilworth (station opened in 2018) | Coventry to Leamington line | 4 |
| Ilkeston (station opened in 2017) | Midland Main Line (on site of former Ilkeston Junction and Cossall railway station) | 3 |
| Clay Cross/North Wingfield Parkway (See Clay Cross and North Wingfield) | Erewash Valley Line | 3 |
| Ossett Parkway (See Ossett) | Huddersfield Line (within the Healey Mills rail yard site) | 2 |
| Wantage & Grove Parkway (See Wantage and Grove) | Great Western Main Line (See also the former Wantage Road railway station) | 4 |

## List of proposed new stations

The ATOC report also identified 16 potential 'link lines' on the existing rail network where new services could be run as part of National Rail services, but not with the primary purpose of opening new stations. These would bring the benefit of providing new journey opportunities for passengers, as well as more options for diversionary routes for traffic on the national network. None of these would provide new stations for populations over 15,000, and as such none of the link lines were evaluated for a specific benefit-cost ratio, but were evaluated as physically feasible. The links identified were as follows:

# Connecting Organizations for Regional Disease Surveillance

The **Connecting Organizations for Regional Disease Surveillance** (CORDS) is a "regional infectious disease surveillance network that neighboring countries worldwide are organizing to control cross-border outbreaks at their source." In 2012, CORDS was registered as a legal, non-profit international organization in Lyon, France. As of 2021, CORDS was composed of "six regional member networks, working in 28 countries in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Europe."

## Synopsis

CORDS are "distinct from more formal networks in geographic regions designated by the World Health Organization (WHO)... Some of these regional networks existed before the sudden 2003 outbreak of SARS," for example:

## History

The CORDS grew out of the 1960s-era Organisations de Coordination et de Cooperation pour la lutte contre les Grandes Endemies (OCCGE) which was an African network, reformed in 1987 to add the West African Health Community (WAHC) and give birth to the West African Health Organisation (WAHO).

The PPHSN was formed in 1996 in order to "streamline" members' "disease reporting and response". In 1997, the PPHSN set up PacNet, in order to "share timely information on disease outbreaks" and "to ensure appropriate action was taken in response to public health threats."

In 2000, the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network was formalized by the WHO.

In 2001, was formed the Southeastern European Health Network (SEEHN) which grouped the governments of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.

In 2003, Israel, Jordan and the Palestinian Authority established the Middle East Consortium on Infectious Disease Surveillance (MECIDS).

The growth of the CORDS can be categorised into several overlapping phases:

* from 1996 to 2007, the effort was to train and connect people to contain local epidemics
* from 2003 to 2009, the effort was aimed to enhance "cross-border and national surveillance systems to address regional threats", including a particular focus of EAIDSNet on zoonotic diseases
* from 2006 to at least 2017 the focus was to strengthen "preparedness for pandemics and other public health threats of regional and global scale.

In 2005, the International Health Regulations (IHR) mandated official reporting of certain types of disease outbreaks to WHO.

In 2007, the Rockefeller Foundation (RF) used funds from the Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) to convene in Bellagio "regional surveillance networks from across the globe to initiate a dialogue about how to harness lessons learned, emerging technologies, and nascent support." In 2009 the RF used funds from NTI to "create a community of practice" named CORDS, which in 2012 was concretized in Lyon France as a legal, non-profit international organization. CORDS convened the *1st Global Conference on Regional Disease Surveillance Networks* at the Prince Mahidol Award Conference in 2013.

## Early life

Budarick was born in South Australia and spent the early years of his life in the small crayfishing town of Robe before relocating to Queensland's Gold Coast at the age of 9. His father, Craig, was a professional Australian rules footballer who initially played for Glenelg in the SANFL where he kicked 150 goals in 66 games and was drafted to the Sydney Swans with pick 110 in the 1989 national draft. Connor played his junior football for the Labrador Tigers and joined the Gold Coast Suns Academy at 12 years of age. He made his NEAFL debut for Southport at 16 years of age and became a regular selection for the Gold Coast Suns reserves team in 2018. Budarick attended Helensvale State High School throughout his teenage years and was given a scholarship to enter the school's AFL Sport of Excellence programme.

Leading into his 2019 junior season, Budarick was named captain of the Suns academy team and was awarded the Hunter Harrison Medal for the top performing academy player in the NAB League. He was then selected to represent the Allies at the 2019 AFL Under 18 Championships where his performances earned him All-Australian selection. Budarick was drafted to the Gold Coast Suns as an academy pre-listed player in October 2019. Budarick has stated he grew up supporting the Suns in his younger years.

## AFL career

Budarick made his AFL debut at 18 years of age against Port Adelaide in Round 1 of the 2020 AFL season. He was awarded the round 3 AFL Rising Star nomination for his brilliant defensive performance against the Adelaide Crows, which included 16 disposals, six marks and his first AFL goal.

title: Bill Smith (pitcher)

abstract: William Garland Smith was an American professional baseball player, a left-handed pitcher whose 12 years as a professional (1953–64) included parts of three seasons in the Major Leagues for the St. Louis Cardinals (1958–59) and Philadelphia Phillies (1962). Born in Washington, D.C., Smith batted left-handed, stood 6 feet (1.83 m) tall and weighed 190 pounds (86.2 kg). Smith signed originally with the Cardinals, and won 130 games during his minor league career, with six seasons of ten or more wins. He appeared in 24 games played during his three Major League stints, six as a starting pitcher. His one big-league victory came on June 28, 1962, at Candlestick Park when he relieved starter Jim Owens in the second inning and threw 72⁄3 innings of shutout ball. The Phils eventually overtook the San Francisco Giants, 7–2. Smith bested a future Baseball Hall of Fame pitcher in Juan Marichal on that day, and helped his cause with an RBI double off the Giants' pitcher. All told, Smith lost six of seven Major League decisions, and gave up 82 hits and 17 bases on balls in 681⁄3 innings of work. He struck out 34.
