![]() ![]() ![]() Permanent replacement facilities for the original temporary facilities of 2001 were completed in September 2009. ![]() It's very similar, incidentally, to the conditions that the soldiers lived in almost identical."Īccording to an article by Tim Golden, published in the Januissue of the New York Times, captives in the Bagram facility were still being housed in large communal pens. Each prisoner had a bunch of blankets, a small mat, and in the back of each one of those cages was a makeshift toilet, the same type of toilet that the soldiers used, which was a 50-gallon drum, halved with diesel fuel put in the bottom of it and a wooden kind of seat to that platform . Those prison cages had a wooden floor, a platform built above the cement floor of the hangar. "On the floor of that, what must have been some sort of an airplane hangar, six prison cages were erected, which were divided by concertina wire . The warehouse had a cement floor and it was a huge square-footage area. But in my tenure, the prison population lived in an abandoned Soviet warehouse. "I can't speak to what the conditions may be like now. ĭuring an interview on PBS, Chris Hogan, a former interrogator at Bagram, described the prisoners' cells as they were in early 2002. Although captives share their cells with dozens of other captives, there were reports in 2006 that they were not allowed to speak with one another, or to look at one another. The other captives share larger open cells with other captives.Īccording to some accounts, captives were provided with shared buckets to use as toilets, and did not have access to running water. Only captives held in solitary confinement have individual cells. Like the first facilities later built at Guantanamo's Camp X-Ray, the cells were built of wire mesh. The US military did not need the volume of hangar space, so it built a detention facility inside the large unused hangars. When the US military and their allies ousted the Taliban, US forces took possession of the former Soviet base. The airfield included large hangars that fell into disrepair after the Soviets left. ĭuring the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, the Red Army built Bagram Airfield. Part of the internment facility is called the Black jail. detention centers in Guantanamo Bay on Cuba and Abu Graib in Iraq. Concerns about lengthy detentions here have prompted comparisons to U.S. Their deaths were classified as homicides and prisoner abuse charges were made against seven American soldiers. The treatment of inmates at the facility has been under scrutiny since two Afghan detainees died in the 2002 Bagram torture and prisoner abuse case. None of the prisoners has received POW status. As of early June 2011 the Obama administration held 1700 prisoners at the military base there had been 600 prisoners under the Bush administration. While initially intended as a temporary facility, it has been used longer and handled more detainees than the US Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba. It was formerly known by the United States as the Bagram Collection Point. The Parwan Detention Facility (PDF), also called the Bagram Theater Internment Facility, is an Afghanistan-run prison located next to Bagram Airfield in the Parwan Province of Afghanistan.

So, we got to work and took 4D to the next level with our latest running innovation: 4DFWD. We’re never done asking the question ‘how can we make 4D even better?’. Like reactive cushioning, this provides controlled energy return across each stride. As a single-component design, the adidas 4D midsole is precisely tuned to absorb pressure from all parts of the foot. So, from track to the street, the adidas 4D delivers long-lasting cushioning and stability for any activity. The combined individual lattices guide the foot with ultimate precision and give potential to weave more complex shapes. The end result is a unique lattice structure. Liquid, light and oxygen form the three elements of the 3D printing process. We united with Carbon, an innovative tech company, to create a groundbreaking computational design with Digital Light Synthesis. adidas 4D is crafted with our most revolutionary digital printing technique yet. It's not just what we make, but how we make-and the process is key. When sports meet Silicon Valley, something truly unique happens.

Therefore, although most studies have addressed the positive effects of ocean acidification on seagrasses, these benefits could be negated under the more realistic scenario of ocean acidification combined with an increase in temperature 18. ![]() Meanwhile, ocean acidification has been suggested to benefit seagrasses and increase their productivity 14, 15, 16 because photosynthesis of most seagrasses has been shown to be undersaturated at present seawater partial pressure of CO 2 ( pCO 2) 17. However, seagrass species are known to have a thermal tolerance window 11, and temperature that exceed this window will negatively or potentially lethally affect them 12, 13. Increase of seawater temperature is generally known to increase seagrass metabolism and productivity 9, 10. Therefore, information on how global climate change including ocean warming and acidification will affect seagrass meadows is critical to enable prediction and implementation of effective conservation strategies of seagrass ecosystems 8. In addition to such local stressors, the ongoing global ocean environmental change caused by increasing atmospheric CO 2 is expected to intensely affect seagrass ecosystems worldwide 7. However, seagrass ecosystems are now threatened by a number of anthropogenic stressors, such as eutrophication, dredging and coastal development 6. Seagrass ecosystems are classified as one of the most productive ecosystems in coastal waters 1 and provide numerous ecological functions including regulation of the nutrient cycle 2, carbon sink 3, sediment stabilization 4, and habitats and food provision for a wide range of marine organisms 5. ![]() ![]() Just step into any of these Dooney and Bourke outlet stores and grab the bag of your choice.
