Kuralai Nurkadilova and Baldur Asanova gave an assessment of the new form of police

Kazakh designers spoke about the working draft of a new form of police, reports Tengrinews.kz. Men's form is presented in several versions: a shirt with short sleeves and pants in dark blue color, autumn and winter jackets. Also included are yellow vests labeled Polisia. In addition, there are winter jackets, pants, safety vests, gloves with reflective stripes. As hats offer caps and hats, on which there is embroidery in the form of the logo of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kazakhstan.

The female form is represented in the form of a short-sleeved shirt, trousers, and skirts in blue, a long coat and a long jacket. Caps are also offered.

Well-known designer Kuralai Nurkadilova noted that, in general, she has no complaints about the new form. "They observed the safety of the policeman himself, who works on the roads. There are bright reflective stripes on the uniform. Only here the headgear is wrong - they visually diminish the head. And there are no strong complaints. For our people, the new design looks bright and extraordinary. Perhaps, if this form were presented as it should be, on professional models x, but not on the real police, it would look more beautiful. Still, this is a presentation, and the models are able to present clothes to the audience," she said.

In turn, designer Baldur Asanova was not impressed by the uniform. According to her, there is no zest. And the color of the form looks faded. "The form should be recognizable as abroad. In addition, uniforms should have local colors. There is a special table. The cleaner the color, the more pleasant the look. And here’s a dirty color. There's nothing new in the design. The distinctive feature is embroidered 'Kazakhstan.' For me, this is not a police uniform, but an office uniform. I did not understand why it was a lemon-colored form. It’s too bright, too funny the police turned out, " she believes.

MIA RK presented a working draft of the new form. The ministry noted that the main requirements for uniform uniforms are its practicality, attractiveness, convenience, and disposal of unnecessary elements in the design. After the presentation in Kaznet, disputes arose about the correctness of the spelling of the word "police" in the Kazakh Latin script. The linguist Erden Kazhybek commented on these disputes and explained that so far there is no final decision on the correct spelling of the name of the law enforcement agency.

The new point of traffic rules: retro-reflective vests for drivers

For reference, in the documents attached to the Government of the Russian Federation, statistics are given according to which in the first half of 2017, 1321 people died in road accidents that occurred in the dark, and 6537 people were injured. This is 10.2% less than the same period last year - the authorities explain this by the introduction of mandatory retro-reflective elements for pedestrians who are on the road outside settlements at night (according to paragraph 4.1 of Traffic Regulations). At the same time, officials note the increased number of similar incidents that occurred with drivers of vehicles who had to leave the car when forced to stop in conditions of limited visibility outside populated areas. For the six months of this year, 66 such raids were recorded - 4.8% more than a year earlier.

According to the amendment to the Rules, drivers will be required to carry a jacket, safety vest or cape with retro-reflective tapes with them and put them on when leaving the car at night or in conditions of limited visibility outside populated areas.

Cyclist Air Bag: How It Works

In spite of the fact that it is impossible to develop high speeds on a classic bike, the trip still carries a certain risk. But more and more devices appear that make travel safer.

The French company Helite has created a vest B'Safe, ensuring the safety of cyclists. B'Safe is not only a reflective material but also a real airbag. It consists of 2 "gadgets": directly the vest, equipped with sensors, and the sensor installed under the seat. The latter tracks the position of the cyclist.

In the event of a fall or collision, an alarm signal is generated, the built-in carbon cartridge is activated, and gas fills the vest along special channels. B'Safe protects the most vulnerable places in case of accidents: neck, shoulders, chest, and back. The manufacturer claims that the vest is "inflated" in just 0.08 s. This "airbag" is a reusable accessory; you just need to fill the cassette with carbon. In addition, the safety vest made of waterproof, breathable material that provides maximum comfort and will be presented in two colors (yellow and black). So far, B'Safe has not been on sale.

By the way, on Aliexpress such an accessory is already available for order. In contrast to the development of the French company, the Chinese counterpart works in a "mechanical mode": the driver needs to fix a special rope on the steering wheel, which, with a sudden change of position, will pull the check and the gas cartridge will be activated.

Recommendations to parents and guardians to hire a school van for their children

The Seremi of Transport and Telecommunications Alvaro Ormeño, the Prefect of Carabineros Lieutenant Colonel Mr. Leopoldo Cornejo, accompanied by other authorities, led a massive inspection of vehicles of the school transport groups and gave recommendations to parents and attorneys to hire these services,  few days that a large part of the students enter classes.

Verify the registration of the vehicle in the National School Transportation Registry, have the driver's identification card up-to-date and confirm compliance with safety regulations, are part of the recommendations given by the Seremi de Transportes Alvaro Ormeño, to the parents and proxies.

"Parents and guardians must have the necessary information to properly choose a school bus for their children. They are the first inspectors, that is why we call on you, to be attentive and to review each one of the characteristics of the service before contracting it, "Seremi Alvaro recommended.

The first examiners of this type of services must be the parents and guardians. That's why they should:

The vehicle must have its current and up-to-date documentation: RENASTRE registration certificate, technical revision, polluting emissions certificate, driving license and compulsory insurance.

The aforementioned documentation must be carried in the vehicle. In the case of the certificate of enrollment in the National Registry of School Transportation, this should inform the name or names of authorized drivers, as well as the identification of adult chaperones in case it is transferred to more than 5 children of pre-basic.

The school transport vehicle must have a safety belt if the year of manufacture is from 2007 onwards and it does not necessarily have to be yellow, since white and other colors are also allowed, depending on the gross weight of the vehicle.

It must be identified with a sign that says "School", which must be located on the roof of the vehicle, or on the lower right side of the rear window or windows and also on the bottom of one of the side windows of the vehicle, on both sides of this (depending on the gross vehicle weight).

In addition, you must have a strobe light on the back of the roof or a retro-reflective tape around the vehicle under the windows (depending on the gross vehicle weight).

The maximum capacity of children that can be transported must be indicated inside the vehicle and must not exceed what is indicated in the Technical Review Certificate.

All seats must be sitting facing forward.

The maximum age for vehicles is 16 years (In regions XV, I and XII is 18 years). In school transport vehicles that provide services to rural locations, the maximum age allowed is 18 or 22 years, depending on the weighing of the car.

The driver must possess and carry a professional license class A1 (old law 18.290) or class A3 (law 19.495 or law 19.710).

In a visible place, inside the vehicle, you must carry an identification card with a photograph and personal information of the driver.

Finally, the attorney can check that the driver and/or companion is not in the registry of persons disabled to work with children.

Since 2014, sanctions have been increased for school transport vehicles that are caught performing the service without authorization. Now they risk the withdrawal of circulation of the vehicle and fines ranging from 120 thousand pesos to 600 thousand pesos.

Child restraint chairs: Regarding the regulations that make the use of chairs mandatory for the transportation of children, the regulation states that this obligation is for light vehicles, so it does not fall under the regulations of school transport.

The fireman's jacket is the big must-have this winter

lvin Klein, Louis Vuitton, Junya Watanabe in short, high-sounding names in the fashion universe who have chosen the fireman's uniform, in particular, as a key to the winter wardrobe. Thus the bright details and the important constructions that we usually see on policemen or firefighters become the new codes of fashion, from the yellow neon strips to the reflective tape. The same collection by Kanye West, sales say, is focusing everything on a jacket that not by chance seems stolen from that of the firemen. And to think of it, who as a child did not dream, even if only for a short time, of becoming a firefighter?

A question of quality

The Swiss Beat Grossenbacher, Managing Director of Beat Grossenbacher GmbH, Dog & Horse Accessories, has been involved in the manufacture and testing of reflex products for over 20 years, increasing the safety of humans and animals in poor visibility. In order to achieve a maximum result here, the quality of the retro reflective material used is crucial, because there are quite big differences. Grossenbacher: "A cheap reflector is worthless in principle than a simple aluminum foil. For a high-quality product, the aluminum layer to which the glass beads are applied is stronger and, above all, significantly more glass beads are processed. Inferior articles reflect in part only about 30 meters. If a car approaches at 100 km / h, the maximum distance the foot can find to its brake pedal is at this distance. In the worst case, a collision of car and horse by inferior reflex products cannot be prevented. By contrast, high-quality products reflect at a distance of around 120 meters, four times as far. Accordingly, motorists become aware of road users earlier and can react early. And also the size of the reflective strips matters. A 50 mm wide strip is 30 to 50% more visible than a half as wide, one with 100 mm width reflects another 30% wider than the one with 50 mm width. "

Even with durability and abrasion, the difference in quality is noticeable. "For our most expensive products, we use a material that meets the standard even after 60 wash cycles." There are also qualitative differences in the fluorescent background material, not every yellow fabric found on the market has the desired properties, ideally, as Grossenbacher combined orange and yellow fluorescent material, as the two colors are perceived differently under different conditions. "This significantly increases your visibility once again.

Let there be light

So that you do not grope in the dark as a rider, a helmet lamp is recommended. As such, a headlamp comes into question, which is put over the helmet. Specialist retailers have also come up with a clever solution for this: Practical clip lamps are now available. Equipped with six small LEDs, the lamp can be easily attached to the shield of the helmet.

The luminosity of the products sometimes varies greatly. Depending on whether you want to have the near or far area better illuminated, you will certainly find the right model in the extensive assortments. Even with the headlamp, it is important to first get used to the light in peace and possibly with a second person who holds it. It may happen that the four-legged friend is frightened by the light cone suddenly appearing in front of him.

How to choose a good backpack for a child?

Mid-August is the trade signal that the time has come for school layettes. Shop shelves and special promotional islands get backpacks, shoe bags, notebooks, crayons and drawing blocks. However, many parents start shopping by buying a school bag, or rather a backpack, because they dominate the children's back. Typical satchels also have the form of a backpack.

"The younger the child, the better the backpack should have," says the saleswoman from the Manufaktura store. "Unfortunately, children carry real weights so they must have decent equipment."

Often when buying a school backpack, the price decides. And these, especially in hypermarkets are very attractive. Simple backpacks without decorations can be purchased for PLN 9.90. The ones that cost up to PLN 50 are very popular. Usually, the price ranges from PLN 49-99. Experts advise against buying the cheapest backpacks, because these quickly lose fashion by pressing on the back and the spine, and are also torn under the weight of books and other school accessories.

"We invested in expensive schoolbags when the daughter went to the first grade, but after three years, when she goes to the fourth class satchel, we gave a neighbor's daughter," says Anna Janas, mother of 9-year-old Zuzia.

In one of the hypermarkets for the youngest, a wide selection of school bags with graphics from popular cartoons was prepared. The motifs from "Land of Ice" and "My Little Pony" for girls are still searched. The boys choose motifs from "Cars", "Star Wars" or "Ben 10". There are also backpacks (typical schoolbags) designed specifically to prevent posture disadvantages among children. They are equipped with profiled stiffening, adjustable, soft braces, as well as reflective tapes and a ventilation system. Older students, on the other hand, can buy more subdued backpacks from brands such as Nike or Puma. Backpacks in the colors of foreign football clubs like FC Barcelona are also popular.

Yellow Vests are spreading around Europe

While the French authorities are in a state of increased preparedness in connection with the protests of activists of the Yellow Vests spreading throughout the country, similar demonstrations have begun to emerge in the Netherlands.

The agency's correspondent Sputnik discussed the reasons for the protest action with Rogier Hop, a Dutch activist of the Yellow Vest from Maastricht, who records all protests on video.

In France, the Yellow Vests are protesting against a fuel tax increase. There is no such problem in the Netherlands. What are the dictates of the protests in the Netherlands?

There are many reasons why people wear a yellow vest. It's very hard to call the first cause. For example, the Netherlands is a very corrupt country. Usually, everything is swept under the carpet, but people do not want to be silent about it anymore. In my opinion, this is one of the reasons for the protests.

Protests in the Netherlands are certainly not as violent as in France or Belgium. Nevertheless, police officers carried out several detentions in several cities. The Lord also collided with the police when you took your camera away during the demonstration. You said that the police destroyed the circumstantial evidence. What happened?

I recorded the detention of the group leader in Maastricht, he was arrested by police officers pretending to be participants of the protest. These policemen did not want to be recorded. One of them approached me and said that if I did not return the camera immediately, I would also be detained and sent to the police station. I had to give my camera to the policemen.

Have you recovered your equipment? If so, is this recording left on the camera?

Only the recording of this arrest was destroyed. As for other recordings, all are stored on the camera, but I have to publish them. The police only destroyed the recording of the arrest of the group leader in Maastricht.

Protests are spreading throughout the country, demonstrations take place not only in Maastricht but also in The Hague and Rotterdam. Do you think that the Dutch Yellow Vest movement is growing?

What begins with something small, consequently grows. It all started with a little movement, but now it is turning. More and more people are learning about Yellow Vests who wear reflective safety vests, not only about what is happening in France or Belgium, now people know what is happening in their country. Some ask themselves where these protests come from, and when they find out what's behind them, join the movement. Now the Dutch movement is still small, but it is growing.

Protests are being exposed by the main Dutch media. Recently an article was published about you and how the police destroyed your recording. Can you say that the leading media well present what is happening?

Hard to say. The media is trying to present the Yellow Vests as a right-wing movement, it is a left-wing one, depending on the media, which illuminates the protests. The mass media have a problem with determining what kind of traffic it is because it is too diverse. Activists of the movement protest against many phenomena: corruption, high expenses, refugees entering the country. The problems are manifold and the media cannot illuminate the situation on all sides.

Can you call this movement a "movement of general dissatisfaction"?

Let's talk about security

Classes with the charges of the "Albert" Day Home Stay in Inowrocław were led by a policewoman. A talk was about various situations that everyone might encounter about their own safety.

Asp. pcs. Izabella Drobniecka visited today DDP "Albert" charges. The subject of the meeting were various types of fraud methods. To warn the house-dwellers about how the fraudsters work, the police officer presented films prepared by the Provincial Police Headquarters in Bydgoszcz. They show the methods of action of the perpetrators of fraud "on granddaughter, policeman or officer of the Central Bureau of Investigation". The discussion that accompanied the meeting consisted of the analysis of the material viewed and a discussion on how to deal with someone who came across such a case.

Moving on the roads was another topic of the meeting and circumstances as well as the causes of road incidents in Inowrocław. Out of concern for your safety on the roads, it's worth having reflective materials. That is why the mentees were equipped with reflective tapes by a policewoman. The meeting also had a workshop part, because the participants had the opportunity to solve the crossword, which was brought to them by a policewoman. The crossword is related to traffic regulations and general rules of conduct in the situation of threats.
