Takana is a forum of prominent personalities with the objective of fighting sexual abuse in the National Religious sector in Israel.

The forum came to the spotlight in February 2010 when it published a statement claiming that Rabbi Mordechai Elon was breaking his commitments to refrain from public activity, which followed complaints of sexual misconduct.

In 2008 the forum was involved in the Makor Rishon exposé of Megirot and its founder, Sylvia Dahari.

Criticism
The forum has been criticized for allowing the religious community to settle matters "in-house" rather than have alleged offenders subject to open public investigation.

Ashley (also known, signposted and marked on some maps as Sutton) is a hamlet located in the parish of Sutton, some five miles (8 km) north of  Dover on the summit of Gaggs Hill in Kent, England. Ashley runs almost seamlessly into the neighbouring village of Studdal. The A256 road passes to the west of Ashley. The population of the hamlet is included in the civil parish of Tilmanstone.

The main road running through Ashley is Chapel Lane. This is because of the small (Baptist) chapel that still stands on it. It was one of several village chapels in the area which belonged to the Eythorne Baptist Church "group". The chapel has now been converted into a dwelling / house.

The public house in the photograph ceased trading in 2005 and was converted into a private dwelling in 2009.

Ashley is in a predominantly rural area and the starting place of many hiking routes.

MeesPierson is a Netherlands-based private bank headquartered in Rotterdam. The bank is known for managing the assets of the Dutch royal family.

History
Until 2009, the bank was known as Fortis MeesPierson. The name derives from the November 1992 merger of merchant banks Mees & Hope (founded by Franco Cordelois, Jan de Vrijer & Rudolf & Gregorius Mees as Cordelois, de Vrijer & Mees in 1720, becoming G. Mees & Zoon and was renamed R. Mees & Zoonen which merged with Hope & Co. (founded by Scots Jan & Henry Hope in 1762) in 1962) and Pierson, Heldring & Pierson (founded by Athanase Adolphe Henri Boissevain in Amsterdam as Boissevain & Co. in 1875, renamed Pierson & Co. by Jan Pierson in 1917 and founded as Heldring & Pierson by Justinus Heldring & Henri Pierson in 1879 in the Hague , both companies merged in 1952).

In 1996, Fortis bank acquired MeesPierson from ABN AMRO for $1.43 billion. Then, in 2005, its name was changed to Fortis MeesPierson. The initial plan was to incorporate the name into Fortis Private Banking, but this plan was never realized because of the strong brand MeesPierson. According to some sources the board of directors decided not to change the name under pressure of the wealthy clients. As a result of the nationalization of Fortis Bank Nederland in October 2008, Fortis MeesPierson once again changed its name to MeesPierson in 2009.

The Police Association of New South Wales is the industrial association representing over 99 percent of the sworn Police officers in the State of New South Wales, Australia. Membership of the association is also open to former officers who have retired or been discharged from the police force as medically unfit.

Organisation
The association was founded in 1921 after the founding of the NSW Police Force in 1862.

Campaigns
In recent years, the association has focused on a number of campaigns, most relating to employment rights of serving officers.

Tasers
Since 2010, the association has campaigned for the roll-out of non-lethal electroshock weapons (specifically Tasers) to NSW Police officers. Tasers have been described by Association President, Scott Weber, as, "an important and effective tool in protecting people and controlling violent and dangerous situations".

In 2012, the NSW Ombudsman published a report suggesting Tasers had been misused by Police officers and suggested a number of new rules and guidelines for the use of the weapons. The association responded by saying the number of assaults against officers had "plummeted" since the introduction of Tasers.

Death and disability payments
In 2011, the NSW Government made reforms to the NSW Police Death and Disability scheme to "[remove] the giant lump sum payments and [encourage] more officers to return to work". The association organised a number of protests against the changes but eventually ceded to the governments demands. In early 2012, the Government negotiated further changes to the scheme to allow for payments of up to AUD$900,000 to a short list of unresolved cases that had not been finalised. These were the last Police Officers to receive lump sum payments as a result of being medically unfit for duty. The NSW Opposition (specifically former Premier Nathan Rees) claimed the outcome was a, "backdoor deal done with the association which undermines the whole arrangement".

As a result of these reforms medically unfit Officers are now discharged from service and receive five years of recurring payments at 75% of their salary. Once the five years elapses, if the officer is still unable to obtain alternate employment, they are required to apply to Centrelink for disability payments if they still wish to receive an income.

The Sidi Bel Abbas sanctuary is a Muslim holy place located in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in Northern Africa, in the El Usa plaza. The structure was built to commemorate 12th-century Moroccan saint Abu al-Abbas as-Sabti.

2006 Arson
This structure was burned by unknown parties in April 2006. This action was widely believed to have been committed as an anti-Muslim act, particularly as several other attacks on Muslim religious centers in Spain occurred in 2005–2006. However, others have hypothesized that the sanctuary was burned by Salafist elements, who doctrinally object to the veneration of any human.

Church of Sts. Peter and Paul—Catholic is a historic church building on State Street in Gilman, Minnesota, United States.  It was built in 1930 to serve a Polish-American congregation and designed in the Beaux Arts style by the Minneapolis architectural firm of Cordell & Olson. The first church was a log structure in 1872.  It was known as the church of St. Wenceslas.  Then a new church was built in the 1880s and was a frame structure known as St. Casimir's Church.  The old log church was converted into classrooms.  A new school building was built in 1909 and is present today. St. Casimir's church was destroyed by fire in 1891. A new and larger frame building was constructed for the new church. This church building stood north of the present brick building. The school building was completed in 1909. Fr. Vincent Wotzka as pastor had a brick rectory built in 1924. It was also designed by Cordelia and Olson. Sometime during these early years, the name of the parish was changed to Saints Peter and Paul. No reason has been found for the change. The church complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

rBCG30 (recombinant Bacillus Calmette-Guérin 30) is a prospective vaccine against tuberculosis created by a team headed by Marcus A. Horwitz at UCLA.  It is a live vaccine, consisting of BCG genetically modified to produce abundant amounts of a 30kDa antigen (Antigen 85B) that has been shown to produce a strong immune response in animals and humans.  The vaccine completed a Phase I double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial that demonstrated that rBCG30 was safe and immunogenic; during nine months of follow-up, rBCG30, but not BCG, induced significantly increased Antigen 85B-specific immune responses in eight immunological assays (blood lymphocyte proliferation, antibody responses by ELISA, interferon-gamma producing CD4+ and CD8+ T cells ex vivo, central memory CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, interferon-gamma ELISPOT responses, and the capacity of T cells to activate macrophages to inhibit mycobacterial intracellular multiplication).
