title: Saints of the Shadow Bible

text:
Saints of the Shadow Bible is the nineteenth instalment in the bestselling Inspector Rebus series of crime novels, published in 2013. Like the preceding Rebus novel, this one draws its title from a Jackie Leven lyric.

Plot

The investigations in the novel take place in February or March 2013 against the background of the dissolution of regional police forces as they are merged into Police Scotland. Malcolm Fox’s unit, the “Complaints,” is disappearing, and he undertakes an investigation on behalf of the Solicitor General in the hopes of finding a place in the new organization. DI Siobhan Clarke is stationed at Gayfield Square, but follows important cases to Torphichen and Wester Hailes police stations. John Rebus has succeeded in rejoining the CID, albeit as a Detective Sergeant instead of a Detective Inspector. He works with both Clarke and Fox, but is primarily investigating a long-defunct police station, Summerhall, where he was assigned in 1982 as a newly-minted detective.

Also relevant to the cases is the upcoming 2014 Scottish independence referendum; a Justice Minister, whose death Clarke is investigating, is a figurehead for the Yes campaign, while Rebus’s Summerhall colleague Gilmour, Fox’s target, is a prominent No supporter.  This recalls the 2000 Rebus novel, Set in Darkness, set in the midst of the first elections to the new Scottish Parliament.

Clarke and Rebus’s apparently trivial investigation of a university student’s car crash becomes complicated when the student’s boyfriend’s father, the Justice Minister, is found dead in his own home. Meanwhile, Rebus is invited by Fox to help with the opening of a very cold case involving the Summerhall policemen, who called themselves “Saints of the Shadow Bible.”  The surviving Saints want Rebus to ensure that Fox does not disrupt their lives; Fox hopes Rebus will implicate himself; Rebus wants to find out more about the secrets he only glimpsed thirty years earlier. Rebus ends up using his confrontational techniques (intimidation and threats, recruiting snitches, bargaining with gangsters) to assist both Clarke and Fox. The three detectives come to respect each other.

Dead and Buried (short story)

This short story, published in The Beat Goes On (short story collection) (2014), is set during Rebus’s stint at Summerhall (i.e. in 1982 or ’83). Stefan Gilmour, the DI, tests Rebus by allowing him to investigate a watch buried with a man named Joseph Blay, who was hanged for murder in 1963.  Rebus finds that Gilmour's dead hero, DI Charlie Cruikshank, had suppressed evidence that could have exonerated Blay. But Rebus tells Gilmour that he will not take the matter to "The Complaints" as "what good would that do?". Gilmour says "Welcome to the Saints of the Shadow Bible, John" and after a moment's hesitation Rebus returns his handshake.

title: Libertarian Party of Minnesota

text:
The Libertarian Party of Minnesota is a state affiliate of the United States Libertarian Party.

History
The Libertarian Party of Minnesota was formed in 1972 after Charles Brekke and Steve Richardson wrote to the Libertarian Party, headquartered in Colorado, requesting to charter a state group. They were joined by Frank Haws and Rich Kleinow, who were independently seeking a way to get Libertarian Party Presidential candidate Dr. John Hospers on the ballot in Minnesota.

The first meeting of the LPMN was held at Brekke's home in Minneapolis, where Ed Contoski was elected as the LPMN's first party chair, Rich Kleinow was elected vice chairman, Charles Brekke secretary, and Claudia Jenson treasurer. The original signers of the LPMN charter, considered the founders of the LPMN and the first executive committee, were:
 Ed Contoski (chair)
 Rich Kleinow (vice chair)
 Claudia Jensen (treasurer)
 Charles Brekke (secretary)
 Georgiena Brekke
 Jack Buxell
 Jane Buxell
 Franklin Haws
 Arnette Putman
 Marc Putman
 Stephen Richardson

In 1974, Rich Kleinow and Claudia Jensen were the first two candidates for the Libertarian Party of Minnesota, on the ballot for governor and lieutenant governor, respectively. Kleinow/Jensen received 1,858 votes and came in 7th place.  Dale Hemming, LPMN Chair in 1976, ran for Congress in 1976 and 1978.

title: Sidewalk Surfin'

text:
"Sidewalk Surfin'" is a song with music by Brian Wilson and lyrics by Roger Christian, which was recorded by 1960s American pop singers Jan and Dean. The song was recorded as a single and then appeared on the 1964 album Ride the Wild Surf, and later on the Little Old Lady from Pasadena album. The B-side of the single is "When It's Over." "Sidewalk Surfin'" reached number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 on October 31, 1964, which was Jan and Dean's lowest-charting single in a year and a half since the release of their number one hit single "Surf City." Jan and Dean were known for their music of the 1960s surf era with songs like "Dead Man's Curve," "Drag City," and "The Little Old Lady from Pasadena."

Composition
Jan Berry, Dean Torrence's partner in the Jan and Dean duo, wanted to write and compose about a sport other than surfing. He came up with the idea to make music about skateboarding. After trying, unsuccessfully, to come up with a song about that sport by himself, he decided to go with the Beach Boys' song "Catch a Wave," a song drawn from the group's 1963 album Surfer Girl. Berry asked the composer, Brian Wilson and Wilson's then-current lyricist associate, Roger Christian, to rewrite it. They complied, and eventually came up with "Sidewalk Surfin'," which is "Catch a Wave" with different lyrics about skateboarding.

Reissue
When the original recording of "Sidewalk Surfin'" got reissued as a single 12 years later, in the summer of 1976, the single got radio attention once again. This time, the single hovered right under the Billboard Hot 100, eventually peaking at #107. It became their first, and only, single to get major radio attention, and come close to a placement on the charts, since 1967.

Live versions
Jan and Dean performed a lip-synchronized version of the song on American Bandstand on August 22, 1964.
On December 29, 1964, they performed the selection live at the T.A.M.I. Show.

Cover versions
Jan Berry covered the song by himself as a single in 1976, rewriting some of the lyrics to keep up with the new names and tricks of skateboarding of the 1970s. The lyrics were also easier for Berry to sing after the aphasia Berry sustained from his car accident near Dead Man's Curve, on April 12, 1966.

title: T. M. Schleier

text:
Theodore M. Schleier (April 20, 1832 – December 13, 1908) was a Prussian-born American photographer, inventor, and diplomat, active primarily in the southeastern United States in the latter half of the 19th century.  While operating from a studio in Nashville, Tennessee, he helped document life in the city during the Civil War.  He later moved to Knoxville, Tennessee, where he captured some of the city's earliest photographs.  His inventions include an early artificial lighting system for photography studios.

Schleier was a delegate to the 1872 Republican National Convention, and served as U.S. Consul to Amsterdam from 1890 to 1893.

Life
After immigrating to the United States from his native Prussia, Schleier initially settled in New York, where he presumably learned the burgeoning photography trade. By the late 1850s, he had moved to New Orleans, where he operated a studio on Chartres Street.  In 1857, Schleier filed a complaint against rival New Orleans photographer James Andrews (1829–1863), stating that Andrews had busted open the door to his studio, ejected him from the studio with a fireplace poker, and destroyed his photographic equipment "with a view of preventing him from pursuing his regular business."  In spite of this attack, Schleier had opened a new ambrotype studio on Camp Street by the Summer of 1857.

In 1859, Schleier moved to Nashville to work in the Southern Photographic Temple of Fine Arts, a studio and gallery on Deaderick Street operated by fellow Prussian immigrant Carl Giers (1828–1877).  An ad for the studio described Schleier as "one of the best Photographers and practical Chemists in the country."  By 1863, Schleier was running his own studio at the corner of Cherry and Union streets, in addition to the Giers location.  This studio specialized in cartes de visite, and advertised to the soldiers of the Union forces occupying the city.   In April 1862, Schleier married Catherine Knaffl, a daughter of prominent Austrian-born physician Rudolph Knaffl, who was serving as a surgeon in the Union Army.

Schleier opened a branch gallery in Knoxville, Tennessee, in early 1864.   In 1867, he relocated to the city and established a large studio and gallery on Gay Street. This gallery opened to great fanfare in June 1867, with music provided by the Knoxville Brass Band, and ice cream and drinks served by prominent German-American baker Peter Kern.   A popular figure in the city, Schleier swept the photography prizes at the city's Eastern Division Fair in October 1871, and won an award for "best comic mask" at a German-American masquerade ball in February 1872.

In 1870, Schleier was indicted for ignoring a new state law requiring photographers to obtain a license and pay an annual privilege tax.  Schleier's attorney, German immigrant and future North Knoxville mayor Louis Gratz, argued the law was unconstitutional because it discriminated against photographers living in larger cities by charging them a higher tax.  While the circuit court agreed and threw out the charges, the Tennessee Supreme Court overturned this decision and reinstated the indictment.  The court reasoned that photographers living in larger cities were free to move to smaller to cities to avoid the higher tax, and therefore the law was not discriminatory.

Schleier received several patents for various inventions in the 1870s.  He and his father-in-law, Rudolph Knaffl, patented a fan for rocking chairs in 1870.  Schleier received a patent for a new type of camera stand in 1872, and for a new type of mustard pot the following year.  In late 1872, Schleier was awarded a patent for a brick cleaning machine, which he had exhibited at Knoxville's Eastern Division Fair that October.  He toured the Eastern United States giving demonstrations of this machine in November and December 1872, and spent the early part of 1873 in Boston trying to arrange for the machine's manufacture and distribution.

In 1871, Schleier ran unsuccessfully for a seat on Knoxville's Board of Aldermen, campaigning primarily as an advocate for the establishment of free schools.  Though nominally non-partisan, Schleier was endorsed by the Knoxville Chronicle, the city's primary Republican mouthpiece.  Schleier was a member of the Tennessee delegation at the 1872 Republican National Convention in Philadelphia, and the Knox County delegation at the 1872 Tennessee Republican Party convention in Nashville.  During this same period, he helped establish Knoxville's Board of Trade.  Schleier was elected to Knoxville's Board of Aldermen in 1877, though he served just one term.

Schleier moved back to Nashville in 1880, and would operate from a studio on North Cherry Street for the remainder of the decade.  At the Photographers Association of America's second annual convention in 1881, Schleier was elected one of the convention's vice presidents, and chaired the Committee on Dry Plates.   The September 27, 1890, issue of Anthony's Photographic Bulletin described Schleier as "one of the veteran photographers of the United States."

In September 1890, Schleier was appointed United States Consul to Amsterdam by President Benjamin Harrison.  Among his various reports, Schleier noted relatively low numbers of vagrants in the Netherlands due to social programs established by the government, church and private charities. He advised against building factories in the country due to high taxes and a lack of natural resources.  Following Harrison's defeat in the 1892 presidential election, Schleier was recalled by the new Democratic administration.

Schleier died in New York City on December 13, 1908.  His daughter Matilda worked as a professional photographer in the late 19th century.  Schleier's brothers-in-law, Joseph Knaffl and Charles Knaffl, learned the photography trade while working in his studio, and established their own gallery in Knoxville in the mid-1880s.

Works

At various times during his career, Schleier specialized in ambrotypes, cartes de visite, and cabinet cards.  By 1863, he was using a "multiplying camera" designed by Simon Wing that utilized movable lenses to produce a popular type of photograph known as a "gem."  His branch studio in Knoxville, which opened in 1864, offered "photographs, cartes de visite and stereotypes."  His main Knoxville studio, which opened in 1867, specialized in ambrotypes, pearl miniatures, and photographs.  Schleier partnered with rising Knoxville painter Lloyd Branson to create several "photo-crayon portraits" which were exhibited at 1875 Eastern Division Fair.  In 1880, Schleier's Nashville gallery offered "artotypes" (a type of photograph created using ink) and "chromotypes" (colored photographs).

The occupation of Nashville by the Union Army in March 1862 brought about the "photographic documentation of the town on an unprecedented scale."  Schleier and federal photographer George N. Barnard were the two most active photographers in the city during this period. Places and buildings photographed by Schleier during the war include the railroad bridge over the Cumberland River, Morgan Park, the Tennessee State Capitol, the tomb of James K. Polk, the Planters Hotel, and the original Elm Street Methodist Church (flanked at the time by federal barracks).  He also created carte de visite photographs for soldiers stationed in the city, including members of the all-German 32nd Indiana Infantry Regiment.

Schleier's early photographs of Knoxville include an 1865 panoramic of the city from the Civil War-era Fort Stanley (which stood atop a hill in South Knoxville), and at least two photographs of East Tennessee University (the forerunner of the University of Tennessee).  During the 1870s, he produced stereo cards depicting various places in East Tennessee, including  the Montvale Springs resort at the edge of the Great Smoky Mountains, and the remote Ocoee River Valley in southeastern Tennessee.

During the 1880s, Schleier's studio sold numerous cabinet cards, a type of photograph that had largely replaced the carte de visite as the most popular form of portraiture.  Prominent individuals for whom Schleier created cabinet cards included President James Garfield, and Lakota chiefs Crow Dog, Spotted Tail and Red Cloud.  He photographed the upper Caney Fork Valley in 1883, and provided portraits for the American Institute of Architects convention in Nashville in 1885.

In 1883, Schleier installed an early artificial lighting system in his Nashville studio with the help of T. P. Keck of the city's Brush Electric Light Company.  This system consisted of  two arc lights placed in the middle of a white parabolic reflector that measured  in diameter.  The lights and reflector were suspended from the ceiling and operated with pulleys.  The system could generate 2,000 candlepower of light for a single photograph.

Schleier's photographs are included in the collections of the George Eastman House, the American Museum of Natural History, the Tennessee State Library and Archives, the Calvin M. McClung Historical Collection (Knox County, Tennessee), and the University of Tennessee.

title: 2014 Boston Marathon

text:
The 2014 Boston Marathon took place in Boston, Massachusetts, on Monday, April 21. It was the 118th official running of the Boston Marathon, traditionally held on Patriots' Day. The race is organized by the Boston Athletic Association, and has been happening yearly since 1897. On account of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings, extra security measures were implemented. They started a safety committee which began meeting in January of each year, as well as had a multi-agency coordination center to provide a place for people to go who were in need of help during the course of the race. New laws included the Post Disaster Mental Health Act were implemented which provides mental health services for places after a disaster even if it is not considered extreme enough to be a Major Disaster. The 2014 Marathon had about 36,000 registered participants, second only to the 1996 race in number of entries.

History behind the marathon
The Boston Marathon is an annual race stretched from multiple cities in eastern and some of western Massachusetts. It was created under the Boston Athletic Association by the inaugural U.S. Olympic team manager John Graham. Due to his admiration of the first Olympic Games several decades earlier, he and Herbert H. Holton, a Boston businessman, created the popular marathon.

Race description
Racers begin by meeting in Boston Common on race day where they are then bused to the starting line, also called the start village. At the village there are concessions like bagels and coffee.

The course runs through 26 miles 385 yards (42.195 km) of roads, mostly following Route 135, Route 16, Route 30, and city streets into the center of Boston, where the official finish line is located on Boylston Street in Copley Square alongside the Boston Public Library. The race runs through Hopkinton, Ashland, Framingham, Natick, Wellesley, Newton, Brookline, and Boston. The race is challenging to get into as qualification times are getting faster each year.

2014 Marathon

The race was held on April 21, 2014. Over a million people were expected to line the marathon route to watch the race, twice the number who attend during a typical year. Because of increased participation, the qualifying time lowered by 1 minute 38 seconds. At the start, a moment of silence was held in memory of the 2013 bombings. The men and women's wheelchair group began their race at 8:50 am. The race started for the elite women at 9:32, while the elite men started half an hour later. Another moment of silence was announced (at least for television viewers) at 2:49 pm, in memory of the 2013 bombings, commemorating the exact minute when the 2013 bombings had occurred. The song "Boston Strong" was also heard playing at the starting line.

Bizunesh Deba (26) of Ethiopia crossed the finish line in 2:19:59 to win the race, setting a new course record. The men's competition was won by Meb Keflezighi (38) of the United States with a time of 2:08:37, marking the first time the race had been won by an American male runner in over 30 years.

Security

After the bombings that took place during the 2013 Boston Marathon, killing three and injuring over 260, police vowed to institute additional security measures—including bag checks and additional barriers—while maintaining a friendly, happy atmosphere. Police banned backpacks, strollers, suitcases, glass containers, some costumes and props, weight vests, and items larger than 5 by 5 inches (13 cm × 13 cm). Those with larger bags were subject to being searched. Unregistered runners previously known as "bandits" also were not allowed to participate. More than 3,500 uniformed Boston Police officers were present for security. Overall the association was aiming to keep the event as safe as possible while still maintaining the usual fun and excitement of it.

Results

Results are from the Boston Athletic Association.

History
By 1981, Kabamba housed a military base, known as the "Kabamba Military Barracks" or "Kabamba Training School". This location housed "several companies" belonging to the Tanzania People's Defence Force (TPDF) whose members were training soldiers of Uganda's then-national military, the Uganda National Liberation Army. In addition, the base hosted a large armoury.

In an attempt to capture the weapons of the armoury, the Popular Resistance Army (PRA) rebel group under Yoweri Museveni launched a raid on the Kabamba Military Barracks on 6 February 1981 during the early stages of the Ugandan Bush War. The attack failed, although the PRA retreated in good order. The PRA later merged with other rebels, forming the National Resistance Army (NRA) which captured Kabamba later into the Bush War.

title: Quotient type

text:
In the field of type theory in computer science, a quotient type is a data type which respects a user-defined equality relation. A quotient type defines an equivalence relation  on elements of the type - for example, we might say that two values of the type Person are equivalent if they have the same name; formally p1 == p2 if p1.name == p2.name. In type theories which allow quotient types, an additional requirement is made that all operations must respect the equivalence between elements. For example, if f is a function on values of type Person, it must be the case that for two Persons p1 and p2, if p1 == p2 then f(p1) == f(p2).

Quotient types are part of a general class of types known as algebraic data types. In the early 1980s, quotient types were defined and implemented as part of the Nuprl proof assistant, in work led by Robert L. Constable and others. Quotient types have been studied in the context of Martin-Löf type theory, dependent type theory, higher-order logic, and homotopy type theory.

Definition

To define a quotient type, one typically provides a data type together with an equivalence relation on that type, for example, Person // ==, where == is a user-defined equality relation. The elements of the quotient type are equivalence classes of elements of the original type.

Quotient types can be used to define modular arithmetic. For example, if Integer is a data type of integers,  can be defined by saying that  if the difference  is even. We then form the type of integers modulo 2:
Integer //

The operations on integers, +, - can be proven to be well-defined on the new quotient type.

Variations

In type theories that lack quotient types, setoids - sets explicitly equipped with an equivalence relation –= are often used instead. However, unlike with setoids, many type theories may require a formal proof that any functions defined on quotient types are equivalence relation#well-definedness_under_an_equivalence_relation#well-defined.

Properties

Quotient types are part of a general class of types known as algebraic data types. Just as product types and sum types are analogous to the cartesian product and disjoint union of abstract algebraic structures, quotient types reflect the concept of set-theoretic quotients, sets whose elements are partitioned into equivalence classes by a given equivalence relation on the set. Algebraic structures whose underlying set is a quotient are also termed quotients. Examples of such quotient structures include quotient sets, groups, rings, categories and, in topology, quotient spaces.

title: Brilliant Earth

text:
Brilliant Earth is an American company that sells jewelry featuring diamonds and other gemstones that are asserted to be ethically sourced. The company was established in August 2005 by Beth Gerstein and Eric Grossberg, and is headquartered in San Francisco, California.  According to Businessweek, the company has been influential in creating a market for ethically sourced jewelry. Some provenance claims were disputed as per a 2017 The Next Web article.

History
The idea for Brilliant Earth was conceived in 2004 by two Stanford alumni, Beth Gerstein and Eric Grossberg. Gerstein has said she was looking for an ethically produced engagement ring in 2003, failing which she partnered with Grossberg to establish Brilliant Earth in August 2005, and launched their e-commerce website in July 2006.

The company has since opened showrooms in San Francisco, Atlanta, and elsewhere in the United States.

The company completed an initial public offering in September 2021.

Operations
Brilliant Earth uses both natural diamonds and lab-created diamonds in its jewelry. The natural diamonds are sourced from Diavik and Ekati mines in Canada, and from Namibia and Botswana. The company's sapphires are from either Australia or Malawi.

The company uses recycled materials such as gold, silver and platinum or obtains them from co-ops that meet standards set by the Alliance for Responsible Mining. They are a Certified Carbonfree® Business Partner and use FSC-certified wood for boxes. They offer both modern as well as vintage styles including Victorian, Edwardian and Art Deco designs and serves a socially conscious audience.

Certification
The company is certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council, a responsible and ethical business practices certification organization.

Community service
Brilliant Earth donates a part of its profits to charities that help African communities affected by conflict diamonds. In 2015, the company funded a mobile school in Lungudi, a village in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, for students at risk of working in the local diamond mines. It has also partnered with Rainforest Alliance, an international non-profit organisation.

Controversy
In June 2017, The Next Web reported Brilliant Earth was indicated to have inventory sourced from Canadian origins, despite eight of the ten listed suppliers were from India. The report was initiated following an April 2017 YouTube video posted by self-claimed diamond industry insider Jacob Worth, wherein he investigated the origin of a Brilliant Earth diamond he had purchased, allegedly with a Canadian origin, to the New York supplier who reportedly indicated having no records of those origins. Brilliant Earth filed a lawsuit against Worth for defamation, but the suit was discontinued without prejudice and without any disbursements, according to a notice filed in New York Supreme Court. No settlement is known to have been reached and the video posted by Worth was taken down.

title: Odeon, Kingstanding

text:
The Odeon at Kingstanding, Birmingham, was a 1930s cinema in the Odeon chain. Though closed as a cinema in 1962, the building survives as a bingo hall, and is Grade II listed.

History

The cinema was constructed between 1935 and 1936 to a symmetrical, modernist, art deco design by Harry Weedon and Cecil Clavering, the latter having joined the former's practice, as an assistant, in 1933. It was commissioned as an independent cinema, and was due to be called "The Beacon", after nearby Barr Beacon, but Oscar Deutsch became involved, and the cinema opened as part of his Odeon chain on 22 July 1935. It was built to serve Kingstanding's new, 4,000-home working-class housing estate and had 968 seats in the stalls and 324 in the circle. The first film was The Lives of a Bengal Lancer, starring Gary Cooper.

The brick building occupies a wedge-shaped site between Kings Road and Kettlehouse Road, overlooking and facing Kingstanding Circle. The centre of the glazed cream and black tile ("faience") frontage features three slender fins, also finished with faience, above a stepped brick parapet. Clavering, inspired by the Lichtburg cinema in Berlin, originally intended that these fins would be topped by a searchlight.

The cinema closed on 1 December 1962, the final film being To Hell and Back, starring Audie Murphy.

Bingo

The building was refurbished and opened as a Top Rank Bingo Club, subsequently becoming a Mecca Bingo Club, in which use it continues.

It was given Grade-II listed status by English Heritage just 44 years after its erection, on 10 October 1980. It has been described as "one of the best surviving examples of Odeon cinemas in Britain".

His father Dhojbir Rai was post-master and because of the constant transfer of this father's post, Rai initially took his primary lessons at home. Only after coming to Kurseong did he have a regular education. Rai did his schooling at Pushparani Middle School in Kurseong and later at Darjeeling Government School in Darjeeling, where he met notable teachers such as Dharnidhar Sharma, Surya Bikram Gyawali and Parasmani Pradhan. He passed his metric examination in 1937. He completed his B.A. from St. Joseph's College, Darjeeling in 1939 and graduated from St. Xavier's College, Kolkata in 1941. After finishing college, in 1942, Rai became a secretary of Burma Saranarthi Mukti Samiti, a committee set up for helping the Burmese refugees of World War II. During this time, he came into contact with many Nepali refugees from Burma. While conversing with them, he felt the need to write about their turmoils in life, which took shape into his famous novel Dak Bangla, published in 1957.

Rai was very active in politics and was affiliated with the All India Gorkha League. In 1948, he was elected as an MLA from the erstwhile Jorebungalow constituency to the West Bengal Assembly. He was the Deputy Labour Minister of West Bengal from 1952 to 1957. Rai died on 22 July 1995.

Literature
Shiva Kumar Rai started his writing career in the late 1930s when he was in college. His first work was published in a hand-written youth magazine titled Bansuri. He was also the editor of this magazine. His first printed work, a poem titled Birahi Ko Basanta, is found in Rup Narayan Singh-edited magazine Khoji. His poems and writings were published in journals such as Gorkha, Diyo, Yug Vani, and Sahitya Sroth. His first story titled Prakriti Putri was published in Sharda journal in 1944. His landmark book Frontier, a collection of stories, was published in 1956. To mark the centenary of his birth, Shiva Kumar Rai Janma Satvarshik Samaroha Samity (Kurseong) decided to publish the totality of his writings in three volumes as Shiva Kumar Rai Granthawali, which was edited by Chandra Sharma and Sujata Rani Rai.

His story Chaata won the prestigious Ratnashri Award in Nepal in 1969. In 1978, he won the Sahitya Academy Award for his short story collection Khaharey. In 1994, he was awarded the Agam Singh Giri Smriti Puraskaar by the Sikkim Sahitya Parishad and was felicitated by the Nepali Sahitya Sammelan, Darjeeling the same year.

title: Cornealious Michael Anderson III

text:
Cornealious Michael "Mike" Anderson III (born ) is an American who was convicted of armed robbery in 2000 and sentenced to thirteen years in the Missouri state prison system. Due to a clerical error, his bond was not revoked when a warrant was issued for his arrest, and Anderson was not arrested because the Missouri Department of Corrections thought he was already in prison. The error was only discovered when he was scheduled to be released from prison in 2013 and he was arrested and required to serve his sentence. His arrest stirred national controversy, especially since he was a changed man by that time, and on appeal Anderson was set free in 2014.

Robbery and conviction
On August 15, 1999 in St. Charles, Missouri, Anderson and a companion robbed a Burger King manager at gunpoint of approximately $2,000 while he was attempting to deposit the money in a night deposit box at a bank. A witness observed Anderson and his companion leaving in a car and reported the license plate number to the police. When the police ran the number, they found that it was registered to 22-year-old Cornealious Michael Anderson. The next day, St. Charles police found Anderson's car in a parking lot about a mile from the bank, but they did not catch him until two months later, when he was found hiding in his girlfriend's apartment.

In March 2000, Anderson's jury trial for armed robbery began. Although police never recovered a weapon, they searched Anderson's apartment and found an advertisement brochure for Beretta semiautomatic pistols. The St. Charles prosecutor in the case used the brochure to argue that although no weapon was found, Anderson owned a gun. The jury returned a verdict of guilty and Anderson was sentenced to a total of 13 years in prison.

Conviction appeal and subsequent years
Ten months after the robbery, Anderson left Fulton Diagnostic Center on a $25,000 bond. His attorney appealed the conviction based on the inclusion of the Beretta brochure as evidence in the trial because it introduced unfair prejudice. The appeals judge, however, reaffirmed his conviction. His attorney then appealed to the Supreme Court of Missouri, which heard the case in 2002. Four of the seven justices voted to uphold the conviction.

After the Supreme Court of Missouri's ruling, his bond was to have been revoked and Anderson arrested to serve his 13-year sentence, but unknown errors in communication occurred and Missouri Department of Corrections believed he was already in prison. In 2004, Anderson filed another appeal based on inadequate legal representation at his trial. The appeal stated that Anderson was not in prison and it gave his current address at the time, but the Missouri Department of Corrections apparently did not notice this. Nothing happened with the appeal and for the next seven years Anderson went on with his life. During this time, he met his wife, LaQonna. They married in 2007. Anderson founded a company (Anderson Construction and Investment) and led a normal life. He registered his business, he voted, he renewed his driver's licence all using his full name and address. His lawyer at the time told him that the state of Missouri would discover their mistake and that it was their job to find him.  He told Today that he began to think "Maybe they just wiped the slate clean".

2013 rearrest and appeal
On July 25, 2013, marshals arrested Anderson at his home. An arrest warrant had been issued for Anderson after it was discovered that he was not in prison when he was scheduled to be released. Up until that time, his wife had no knowledge of his prior robbery conviction. He was held in Southeast Correctional Center in Missouri.

On December 30, 2013, Anderson filed a writ of habeas corpus arguing that the 13-year delay in serving his sentence violated due process and that separating him from his family and the constructive life he had made for himself since he was convicted would amount to cruel and unusual punishment.

On April 15, 2014, Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster, his response to show cause order for Cornealious Anderson v. Ian Wallace, stated that the 13-year delay in serving his sentence was not cruel and unusual punishment. Koster wrote in the legal filing that "The United States Supreme Court has upheld much more severe sentences for much less serious crimes" and suggested that Anderson should instead file a petition with the Missouri Department of Corrections for 11.5 years credit for the time he was not in prison:

Patrick Megaro, Anderson's attorney, replied that what is cruel and unusual is not the length of the sentence but delay in implementing the sentence due to errors by the Missouri Department of Corrections. Megaro also didn't "think that's a legally viable option[i.e., Koster's suggest legal course of action] ...The law is very clear, you don't get credit for time served in jail when you're out on bail."

2014 release
On April 17, 2014 Anderson's attorney filed a petition asking Missouri Governor Jay Nixon for clemency or to commute his sentence. Nixon had only granted clemency once while governor of Missouri.

On April 22, 2014 Anderson's attorney, after reconsidering and opting for the legal strategy suggested by Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster in his response to show cause order for Cornealious Anderson v. Ian Wallace, filed a petition for a declaratory judgment against the  director of the Missouri Department of Corrections, George Lombardi. The petition argues that Anderson should receive credit for time served from May 25, 2000 to the present and that Anderson should be released from custody immediately.  The petition for release is addition to the writ of habeas corpus filed in December 2013 and a request for executive clemency. A hearing date was set for May 5, 2014.

On May 5, 2014, Anderson was released from prison with credit for time served, making him a free man with no need for parole. The hearing was held in Charleston, Missouri, with Judge Terry Lynn Brown as the presiding judge.  The hearing began with Anderson's attorney pleading his case by pointing out that Anderson had been his own parole officer since his conviction and that he had rehabilitated himself.  When the attorney for the Department of Corrections spoke he raised little objection to what Anderson's attorney had said and asked the judge to consider Anderson's good behavior since 2000. Judge Brown then made his ruling first telling Anderson that:

Judge Brown then told Anderson that he would receive credit for time served from 2000 when he was released on bond to 2013.  This 13-year period satisfied his entire sentence and the judge announced to the courtroom that:

Attorney General Chris Koster, who had suggested this appeal to Anderson's attorney, released a statement after Judge Browns's ruling:

Controversy
After the original article appeared in 2013, the victim of the robbery, Dennis (first name only), contacted the Riverfront Times and asked them to talk to him about how much the robbery damaged his life. He told the Riverfront Times that the robbery made him paranoid that the robbers would come after him. He quit his job, isolated himself, and his marriage eventually broke up. At about the same time, his daughter had also read the story in a high school class without knowing Dennis was the victim. She came home and told Dennis about the case and then asked him for his opinion about it. The Riverfront Times reported that he told his daughter that Anderson should be let go. Cornealious Michael Anderson's story was then broadcast on a February 14, 2014 episode of This American Life. During that episode, Jessica Lussenhop raised the question:

After the episode aired on This American Life, the Riverfront Times and Anderson's attorney received emails requesting information on how they could advocate for his release. The Riverfront Times reported that a petition for his release was set up on Change.org. By May 5, 2014, the date of his release from prison, over 35,000 signatures were received by Change.org urging Attorney General Chris Koster of Missouri to release Anderson.

Analysis
The dean of the University of Arizona College of Law, Marc Miller, told The Christian Science Monitor that "The judge's handling of the Anderson case is 'quirky' and a one-off given the unique circumstances." How American judges deal with cases where leniency or mercy seem appropriate are subject to regional, political, and gender differences in sentencing; judges in the South mete out the harshest sentences and those in the West, the most lenient. However, according to a 2014 Pew poll, Americans now prefer rehabilitation to prison time.
According to Miller

Greg Zeman, in a commentary for Politix, argues that in American prison systems, rehabilitation is rare and that Anderson likely would not have been rehabilitated if he had gone to prison. According to James Gilligan, professor of psychiatry and law at New York University, the American prison system is a complete failure at rehabilitation.  Two thirds of people released from prison reoffend and often by committing a more serious crime.  Instead of rehabilitating, prisons train people to be more violent.  According to Zeman, the failure to rehabilitate is a threat to society, but that it is a hard sell to convince those who focus on incarceration as punishment that incarceration should focus on rehabilitation.  According to Gilligan, allowing prisoners access to education and obtaining a college degree is the only program that has ever been shown effective in reducing recidivism.  However, such education programs are either viewed as too lenient or they are ineffectual in most prisons in the United States.

After the release of Anderson from prison, Jennifer Baker, writing in the Springfield News-Leader, also raised the issue of whether rehabilitation of criminals can be adequately accomplished in correction facilities. She notes several disadvantages a person faces after leaving prison that makes it more likely to return to prison.  After spending time in prison, it is more difficult to find a job, estrangement of family is more likely, and child support continues to accrue while in prison.  Moreover, people in prison often learn more about how to be a criminal than how to live successfully in the outside world.  Anderson managed to rehabilitate himself without going through the prison system.  According to Baker, Anderson's case suggests that there must be alternatives that can more successfully rehabilitate criminals and save public money.

Raj Jayadev, in a commentary for New America Media, considers Anderson's case to be an anomaly in the American criminal justice system that points to a fundamental problem.  Locking people up is very expensive, crime rates are down, and mass incarceration disrupts families and communities. Jayadev asks "what is the societal value of locking up people for such significant amounts of time?" He argues that Mike Anderson is a case study, which illustrates that rehabilitation is possible and that it can be accomplished with limited incarceration. In Anderson's case, nothing would have been gained by incarcerating him for 13 years, but incarceration would have cost the state of Missouri 13 years of financial burden (i.e., Jayadev estimates the cost at $300,000) and Anderson may not have been rehabilitated when released. Jayadev notes that the approximately $300,000 it would have cost the state of Missouri to keep Anderson is not the only major cost that was avoided.  Anderson's family and community would have lost his 13 years of contributions (Jayadev estimates Anderson's minimum monetary contributions to society at $108,161.30) and he would have emerged from prison with no job, no family, and no community for support. In all likelihood, according to Jayadev, he would have re-offended and ended back up in prison as almost 70% of people who are released from prison do.

Mandatory sentencing is at the heart of the problem on Jayadev's view.  By removing judicial discretion with mandatory sentences, judges are not allowed to look at each case individually and make judgements about sentences that take into consideration the circumstances of the offense and future prospects for the person convicted. In Anderson's May 5, 2014 hearing, the judge was able to and did consider questions of circumstance, behavior, and future prospects.  However, because of mandatory sentencing, these questions could not be considered when Anderson was originally sentenced to prison.

Related cases
In 2000, Rene Lima-Marin was convicted of multiple counts of robbing a man at gunpoint in Colorado. He was not eligible for parole until 2098, but due to a clerical error, he was released in 2008, 90 years early.  He became active in his church, married his former girlfriend, helped raise her son, and had another son with her.  In January 2014, the state of Colorado realized their mistake and Lima-Marin, now 35, was taken back into custody. He is currently represented by the same attorney, Patrick Megaro, who represented Michael Anderson.   Unlike Anderson, Lima-Marin's robbery victim has not forgiven him, and it is unclear whether Lima-Marin was aware of the clerical error when he was paroled. Lima-Marin was freed in 2017.

2014 arrest, dismissal of charges, and apology
On November 16, 2014, Anderson was stopped by St. Louis police officers as he was walking from a bar to get his vehicle.  A few minutes earlier, a woman had her purse snatched and Anderson somewhat matched the description of the robber.  When Anderson was taken to the scene by police officers, both the victim and a witness identified him as the robber.  He was subsequently identified by them in a police lineup and charged with second degree robbery.

When Anderson was picked up by police, he had none of the woman's property on him and he told police that he had just come from a birthday party with his wife and 40 other people at a bar. Anderson's wife began investigating the incident and located surveillance video that showed that Anderson was at the party at the estimated time of the robbery. The Riverfront Times also investigated Anderson's alibi on November 18, 2014 by obtaining security footage from the bar showing that Anderson was at the bar at about the time he claimed.

On February 6, 2015 after reviewing surveillance video, Circuit Attorney Jennifer M. Joyce dropped all charges against Anderson.  She issued an apology and stated that she had discussed the case with St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson and how police procedures could be improved to avoid such mistakes. Joyce stated "He [Dotson] told me he takes full accountability and he's going to go over it and make sure the proper training takes place".
