== U.S. Capitol Police division office ==

Does the U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) have a division office in the U.S. Capitol? The USCP headquarters is located elsewhere in D.C. 
The question pertains to the following excerpt from [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Death_of_Brian_Sicknick&oldid=1069289556 Death of Brian Sicknick].

:The Capitol Police has a number of divisions, listed [https://www.uscp.gov/the-department/bureaus-and-offices here], including one called the "Capitol Division" which presumably provides uniformed services to the Capitol Building itself; there are also divisions for the House Office Buildings, the Senate Office Buildings, and the Library of Congress. I have looked at available floor plans for the Capitol, and cannot find any information on which room their Capitol division is located in; such information may be intentionally not disseminated for security reasons. --[[User:Jayron32|Jayron]][[User talk:Jayron32|''32'']] 16:55, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
::Sicknick served in the First Responder's Unit,[https://www.uscp.gov/media-center/press-releases/loss-uscp-colleague-brian-d-sicknick] apparently part of the Capitol Division[https://www.uscp.gov/media-center/press-releases/loss-uscp-colleague-officer-william-f-evans] – unless several divisions of the Uniformed Services Bureau have thus-named units, but this is made less likely by the fact that the first link does not mention a division, and that the other three divisions serve specific parts of the building.  --[[User talk:Lambiam|Lambiam]] 17:49, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

:Reportedly, the effects of bear spray on people who do not suffer from asthma or COPD, affecting their ability to see and breathe freely, typically self-resolve in 10 to 20 minutes.[https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/wellness/bear-spray-pepper-riot-dangerous/2021/03/19/053c3870-87fb-11eb-bfdf-4d36dab83a6d_story.html] Officer Sicknick was sprayed at approximately 14:20 hours on January 6 and collapsed that evening at approximately 22:00 hours, about 7 hours and 40 minutes later. Although no report that I saw mentions anything to the effect, given these times it is possible that he, after recovering from having been sprayed, returned from the close-by offices at 119 D Street NE to the Capitol grounds, a ten-minute walk.  --[[User talk:Lambiam|Lambiam]] 18:15, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your efforts. It appears that the information is not publicly available. So far the news media has not reconciled the two reports of collapsed after returning to the division office and collapsed at the Capitol. They may be doing the police a courtesy if the division office is located at the Capitol and that's sensitive info. Anyhow, thanks again.

== Science & Vie ==

(Not sure where this question should go): Is, or was ever, the French popular scientific journal [[Science & Vie]] in any way affiliated with [[Nauka i Zhizn|its Russian counterpart]]? Or do they simply happen to coincidentally share the same name and a similar format? Also, is, or was ever, either of them affiliated with publications of the same name in Eastern European countries other than the USSR (in particular, in Poland, Czechoslovakia and Bulgaria)? [[Special:Contributions/2601:646:8A81:6070:6C67:B2B6:D530:3F2A|2601:646:8A81:6070:6C67:B2B6:D530:3F2A]] ([[User talk:2601:646:8A81:6070:6C67:B2B6:D530:3F2A|talk]]) 10:35, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

:According to the [[:fr:Science & Vie|French Wikipedia]], the French journal was founded in 1913 as ''La Science et la Vie'' by [[Paul Dupuy (politician)|Paul Dupuy]], whose father Jean Dupuy owned and published ''[[Le Petit Parisien]]''. Paul had travelled to the US to study the press there and was inspired by magazines such as ''[[Popular Science]]'' and ''[[Popular Mechanics]]''. Thus, an institutionalized link with the older Наука и жизнь appears unlikely, although the French name may have been borrowed from the Russian periodical. The [[:ru:Science & Vie|Russian Wikipedia]] does not discuss a possible link but refers to [[:ru:Наука и жизнь|Наука и жизнь]] in the "See also" section.  --[[User talk:Lambiam|Lambiam]] 08:59, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

== Edited book ==

Which is the world's first edited book based on contributions of many persons and selection of content based on some criterion? — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/101.0.35.180|101.0.35.180]] ([[User talk:101.0.35.180#top|talk]]) 15:35, 7 February 2022 (UTC) 
:That's hard to say. It depends on how you define "book". Many stories, such as the [[Epic of Gilgamesh]] or the [[Homer|Homeric Epics]], were passed down via [[oral tradition]], and as such, can be said to have had many hundreds of contributors. If you want very old collections of distinct texts, the [[Vedas]] would be a contender. --[[User:Jayron32|Jayron]][[User talk:Jayron32|''32'']] 18:23, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

== Hi. Can I ask question about hair removal on legs? ==

This is quite a personal question. I'm almost 38 year old autistic woman with mortor skill problems (eye hand coordination issues) and sensory issues and I have a relative who shaves my legs because I can't and i would like to have another option of removing the hair since my relative is somewhat older now. I tried getting the hair removed on my legs with laser treatment and it hurt like hell and that is no longer a option. I also tried hair removal cream and my relative said that didn't work and I don't want to get my legs waved because it would hurt me.I have also also tried an electric raser/razer (not sure how it's spelled. Please give me some options if possible. Thank you. [[Special:Contributions/2001:569:5262:A00:D880:97A0:65EE:1059|2001:569:5262:A00:D880:97A0:65EE:1059]] ([[User talk:2001:569:5262:A00:D880:97A0:65EE:1059|talk]]) 13:21, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

:I looked into this a little, and it sounds like you've tried some of these, but this is what I found:
:*Consider using [[hair removal cream]], but test it on a small section of skin first as some people have reactions to them. Hair removal creams also have strong odor and unusual consistency, which could make them difficult to tolerate depending on your sensory sensitivities.
:*Consider using [[waxing]] or [[Sugaring (epilation)|sugaring]]. Sugaring may be better for sensory sensitivities as some forms of wax are hot. It also seems to be preferred over wax for hair removal across large areas.
:*There are some products specifically designed specifically for people with disabilities such as the [[Gillette TREO]]. They appear to get good reviews. Some not designed specifically are still quite useful such as electric safety razors with dynamic grips, drop-proof, and water-proof. There's [https://unionofbarbers.com/best-electric-shavers-for-disabled/#Best_Electric_Razor_for_Teenagers_with_Autism websites] that offer reviews on products like these.
