The sign for "clean" (or nice) is made by placing your left hand in front of you, palm up and moving the flat palm of your right hand across your left hand. (If you are right handed).   STUDENT:  Are "CLEAN" and "NICE" the same sign? Dr. Bill:  Yes, they are signed the same way. The concept "is clean" is signed the same way as the sign NICE.   "clean" = NICE: See: animation "nice / clean"  "Nice to meet you."   However, the concepts "clean up," "to clean," or "cleaning" use what I call "the process" form of the sign wherein you use extra movement to show a process is taking place.  So, if you want to sign "clean-up" as in "clean up your bedroom" you would use a double motion. (Repeat the sign to mean: "cleaning, or clean-up.")      In a message dated 10/19/2004 9:59:02 AM Pacific Daylight Time, psarr_art@_____.com writes: Dear Dr. Vicars: Can you please clarify what sign to use when trying to sign "clean up"? Response:  You can sign "clean up" or "cleaning" by using a double movement of the sign "CLEAN / NICE."  You brush the dominant hand fingers/palm across the base hand palm twice. Example: "Do you think parents should pay children to clean up their bedroom?" = YOU THINK PARENTS NEED/should PAY CHILDREN FOR CLEAN CLEAN BEDROOM?

The statement says the panel has recommended several conditions to ensure all police agencies in B.C. update their training programs and adjust their internal policies and procedures to align with provincial standards on conducted energy weapons like Tasers.

It says a nine-month field trial last year involved officers from the Vancouver, Victoria and Port Moody police departments and the RCMP, and found that the model was “effective, and no serious injuries or deaths among subjects, officers or bystanders were reported.”

A statement from the Ministry of Public Safety says the Taser 7 offers the ability to discharge a second shot without reloading a new cartridge and has a short-distance shooting range option, among other changes.

The government says the weapon is already authorized for use in Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan and Alberta.

Standards for conducted energy weapons were set out in B.C. in 2012, arising from the Braidwood Commission of inquiry into the death of Robert Dziekanski, who died in 2007 at Vancouver airport after being jolted several times by a stun gun.
