The Community Security Trust (CST), which monitors anti-Semitic incidents in Britain, counted fewer of them in 2013 than in any year since 2005.
Cognizant of the growing risk posed by weapons of mass destruction (WMD), the United States in 1998 authorized the creation of 10 National Guard WMD Civil Support Teams (WMD-CST) within its territory; each team was organized, trained, and equipped to handle chemical emergencies in support of local police, firefighters, medical personnel, and other first responders.
Boeing have unveiled the interior stylings of their next-gen shuttle - the CST-100 - though the end results look more like a futuristic hotel room than a spaceship destined for the International Space Station.
However, new manfacturing techniques have greatly expanded the interior space and craft durability, and the CST-100 will be constructed without any welding at all: a new process called 'spin forming' fabricates the body of the spacecraft in a method remeniscent of a potter shaping a pot.
The Community Security Trust (CST), which monitors anti-Semitic violence in Britain, is expected to confirm next month that the highest ever number of anti-Jewish attacks recorded occurred last year.
Destined to replace the NASA Space Shuttle that was retired in 2011, the CST-100 (it stands for Crew Space Transportation) will transport up to seven astronauts up to the ISS, and its simplified interior reflects this mission: "What you're not going to find is 1,100 or 1,600 switches," said Chris Ferguson, director of Boeing's Crew and Mission Operations and a former NASA astronaut.
Boeing is also designing a capsule, capable of carrying seven passengers, under the corporate-sounding designation of CST-100.
In recent years the police have started to improve the data they hold on antisemitism and to share anonymised details with CST.
Boeing and Elon Musk's SpaceX are developing the CST-100 Starliner and Crew Dragon spacecraft, respectively.
Rich said the general CST security advice to all Jewish communal buildings also applied to schools: it includes preventing people from congregating outside the building, ensuring that security rotas and procedures are up to date, checking all post and deliveries before opening, and cancelling both deliveries and refuse collection over the sabbath and high holy days.
But, the organisation points out, the former can be used to bash Jews more generally.The CST also notes that many incidents occur around the Jewish high holy days, when more people are going to and from synagogues.
