title: Nineteenth Street Baptist Church (Washington, D.C.)

text:
The Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, located on 16th Street, NW, is considered to be the first and oldest Baptist, black congregation in Washington, D.C.  Since its founding in 1839, the church has figured prominently within the historical and social fabric of Washington, D.C.'s African American community.

The Founding

Established as the First Colored Baptist Church of Washington, D.C., on August 29, 1839, the congregation finds its earliest beginnings within The First Baptist Church of the City of Washington, D.C., which was founded on March 7, 1802. Described initially as an interracial congregation, black members worshipped alongside whites. However, similar to other congregations of the time, the church gradually began to segregate its black members from white parishioners. Given their discontent with being assigned to the gallery of what was now the new location of the First Baptist Church, in 1833 a majority of the black members chose to return to the original site located at 19th and I Streets, N.W. The black members of the First Baptist Church continued to worship under the authority of the parent church at the 19th and I Streets location until 1839 when they expressed interest in being organized as a separate body. Reverend Sampson White, who was also instrumental in the establishment of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ, Abyssinian Baptist Church both in New York City, Kaighn Avenue Baptist Church in Camden, New Jersey,  and Alfred Street Baptist Church in Alexandria, Virginia, would play an integral role in the founding of the independent congregation.

Sampson White, who had begun to organize a smaller group of black worshipers not from the First Baptist Church, secured recognition from leading white and black Baptists of Baltimore to establish a church. The original members of White's group included his wife, William Bush, Eliza Bush, Lavinia Perry and Emily Coke. With recognition secured, Sampson White's small group received into their body all of the black members of the First Baptist Church currently worshipping at the 19th and I Streets location. With the addition of these members, the membership swelled to a number ten times the size of White's original group. With the new members being in possession of the property at 19th and I Streets—an assertion that would be challenged for some years—the First Colored Baptist Church of Washington, D.C., was established in 1839 with Sampson White serving as its first pastor.

The congregation eventually purchased the property on the southwest corner of 19th and I Streets, N.W. Soon after its founding, the church was admitted to the Philadelphia Baptist Association in October 1840. From 1839 to 1882, the church experienced rapid development including the organization of a Board of Deacons, a Board of Trustees, the Missionary Society, the Christian Mite Society, the Senior Choir, the Sunday School and the formulation of the church's Rules of Decorum. In 1867, the American Baptist Home Mission Society used the basement of the church to offer courses to freedmen interested in entering the Baptist ministry. The program would eventually become the Wayland Seminary. On November 16, 1870, the church received its charter and was incorporated as the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church. A new edifice would be erected in 1871 and serve as the worship site for over a century.

Leadership

The Nineteenth Street Baptist Church's history includes fourteen pastors since its inception in 1839; however, the church's sustained leadership, which has included only four pastors over the last 135 years, has contributed to its growth and noteworthiness among African American communities.

Walter Henderson Brooks

On November 12, 1882, Reverend Dr. Walter Henderson Brooks—then referred to as the Dean of ministers of Washington, D.C.—was installed as the pastor of Nineteenth Street Baptist Church. Under Brooks' pastorate, which spanned over sixty years, the church membership grew to over 3,500 and attracted leaders of the African American community. The church became one of the nation's leading Baptist congregations and wielded considerable influence.

Walter Henderson Brooks had already established a reputation as an advocate for education, racial equality, and temperance. Born a slave in Richmond, Virginia, to Albert Royal Brooks and Lucy Goode Brooks, Brooks graduated from Lincoln University (Pennsylvania) where he studied with fellow contemporaries, Archibald and Francis Grimke'. Brooks' wife, Evalin "Eva" Holmes Brooks, was the daughter of Reverend James Henry Holmes who served as pastor of the renowned First African Baptist Church of Richmond, Virginia. Brooks advocated for the inclusion of liberal arts courses within the curricula of black Baptist colleges, like those found at Howard and Fisk universities. Brooks was among the black ministers and churchwomen who called for the inclusion of writings by black theologians within the American Baptist Publication Society's literature. In addition to influencing the establishment of both the National Baptist Publishing Board and the National Baptist Convention, U.S.A., Walter Henderson Brooks also served as vice-president of the Bethel Literary and Historical Society under John W. Cromwell and was a member of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. He also received honorary Doctorates of Divinity from Howard University, Roger Williams University in Nashville, Tennessee, and the State University in Louisville, Kentucky.

During Brooks' tenure, the church played host to prominent historical events including the First Annual Convention of the National Federation of Afro-American Women during which the National Association of Colored Women was founded on July 21, 1896. In 1915, black Civil War veterans of the Union Army met at the church to both commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the war's end and organize a “colored citizens’ committee” to build a monument to honor black achievement. The meeting would be credited with serving as the catalyst for the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture. The church's membership included Brooks' daughter, Julia Evangeline Brooks who served as assistant principal and dean of girls at Washington's famed Paul Laurence Dunbar High School. She was also one of the incorporators of the nation's first black sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority. Noted Washington, D.C., clubwoman, educator, and suffragist, Nannie Helen Burroughs, as well as founder of the Manassas Industrial School for Colored Youth, Jennie Serepta Dean were both members during this time. Charles R. Drew, renowned physician, surgeon, and medical researcher who was recognized as the authority on the preparation and preservation of blood plasma, also attended the church under Brooks' pastorate. Nineteenth Street Baptist also counted prominent black families in the district among its membership. These family names included Syphax, Parker and Pierre. William P. Pierre, Albert Parker, and William Syphax, who was the first president of the board of trustees of the colored schools of Washington and Georgetown, all served as deacons during Brooks' pastorate. Brooks' leadership and social advocacy ushered Nineteenth Street Baptist Church into an era of prominence and activism among African American elites that continued well after his death in 1945.

Jerry A. Moore Jr.

In 1946, after the death of Walter Henderson Brooks, Reverend Dr. Jerry A. Moore Jr. became the pastor of Nineteenth Street Baptist Church. Moore, who had previously served as Brooks' pastoral assistant and student at Howard University's School of Divinity, received a B.A. from Morehouse College in 1940 and B.S. degree from Howard University. He later received an M.A. in 1957 from Howard University. Like his predecessor, Jerry A. Moore Jr. was active within the life of the Washington, D.C., community. From 1974 to 1984, Moore served as a member-at-large on Washington, D.C.'s City Council. He also co-founded the Conference of Minority Transportation Officials (COMTO) in 1971. Jerry A. Moore Jr. was also nominated to be the United States Ambassador to Lesotho. Moore's wife, the late Dr. Ettyce Hill Moore, served as a teacher, principal and executive administrator within the District of Columbia Public Schools system. She was also a professor at both Trinity College and Howard University.

Under Jerry A. Moore Jr. Nineteenth Street Baptist Church grew to include several programs and services including the Weekly Bulletin (1945), The Church News (1962–1966), and The Epistle (since 1977). He also created youth focused programs such as the Youth Church, Camp Mo-Tyce, vacation Bible School and scholarship and awards programs to encourage youth attendance. He also oversaw the establishment of Noonday Lenten Services which initially focused on federal workers but now draws a number of older adults. With the development of youth focused programs and expanding the outreach efforts of the church through the Radio-ministry, the Food Pantry and Homeless ministries, Moore's tenure focused on maintaining and strengthening the vitality of the church.

During this time, many of Nineteenth Street Baptist's parishioners had left the inner city neighborhood where the church had been located for 135 years. The church purchased the B'nai Israel Jewish Synagogue located along Washington, D.C.'s Gold Coast and on January 26, 1975, Jerry A. Moore Jr. led the church in its move from 19th and I Streets to its present location at 4606 16th Street, Northwest. Moore served as pastor of Nineteenth Street Baptist Church for over 50 years, retiring in 1996 and serving as interim pastor until 1997. Dr. Moore died on December 19, 2017.

Derrick Harkins

On July 25, 1997, the church elected Reverend Dr. Derrick Harkins as Pastor-Elect. He preached his first sermon at Nineteenth Street Baptist Church on August 31, 1997. Harkins, who received his B.S. from Boston University, a Master of Divinity from Union Theological Seminary of New York, and a Doctorate from United Seminary, was the senior pastor at New Hope Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, and had served as assistant minister at the Abyssinian Baptist Church in New York. He is married to Juli Anne Davis Harkins.

During his pastorate, Derrick Harkins was involved in social activism at both the local and national levels. He advocated for immigration reform and addressed issues around racially motivated violence. Harkins also served as National Director of Faith Outreach for the Democratic National Committee. In that position, Harkins was responsible for all aspects of engaging the faith community. During his tenure, Nineteenth Street Baptist Church hosted President Barack Obama and his family twice during its Sunday service,. Under the leadership of Dr. Derrick Harkins, Nineteenth Street Baptist Church continued to build and expand its mission. From extending the church's missionary work to Burkina Faso and Jamaica, to the establishment of new and more contemporary ministries, Nineteenth Street Baptist Church remained influential within the Washington, D.C., community. On February 18, 2015, Dr. Harkins announced that after 17 years, he would step down as pastor of Nineteenth Street Baptist Church to take the position of Senior Vice President for Innovations in Public Programming at Union Theological Seminary in New York. He preached his last sermon as senior pastor of Nineteenth Street Baptist Church on April 12, 2015. Reverend James A. Crosson, who served on the ministerial staff for more than thirty-five years and served as the Assistant Pastor for 17 years, assumed the role of Interim Pastor until 2016.

Darryl D. Roberts

On October 22, 2016, the membership of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church elected Reverend Dr. Darryl D. Roberts to the position of Pastor-Elect. He delivered his first sermon as Senior Pastor at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church on January 1, 2017.

Rev. Roberts has received recognition from a number of organizations for his community outreach, including the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the DeKalb County Commissioners, In the Spirit Awards, the Trumpet Award and the Young Men of McNair Discovery Learning Academy.

Plot
Documentary filmmaker Darren convinces his friend Anthony to travel with him back to his hometown in Georgia and make a film about Darren's brother, Rusty, a flower deliveryman.  With the help of the blind voice actor Mr. Emerson, they follow the reluctant subject throughout his delivery schedule despite his objections.  While filming, a zombie outbreak occurs, and Rusty insists that they continue the documentary.  Annoyed with the disruption from zombies, Rusty attempts to shoot around them and maintain his creative vision, which does not allow for zombies in his artistic documentary.

 Orlando Vicente as Anthony
 Simon Sorrells as Rusty

Production
The film was shot in Crawfordville and Washington, Georgia.  It was shot on a consumer video camera and presented as found footage.  Franklin conceived of the idea for the film while driving through a quiet town on the way to shoot a documentary.

Shooting began in 2007 and ended in 2009.

title: Bentong Kali

text:
Kalimuthu s/o Pakirisamy or P. Kalimuthu (22 January 1961 – 29 June 1993), known professionally as Bentong Kali, was a Malaysian criminal and gangster, who gained a national attention in the 1990s. He was implicated in 17 different murders, and terrorized the capital Kuala Lumpur through violence, extortion and heroin smuggling. He also made headlines when he challenged the police to arrest him. He was finally gunned down by Royal Malaysia Police's Special Actions Unit from Bukit Aman, Kuala Lumpur.

Personal life
Bentong Kali was born to a Malaysian Tamil family in Bentong, Pahang. He was the eighth child out of his eleven siblings. He went to school until he dropped out in Form 1.

He was said to have a number of tattoos on his body. He had a 'BORN TO DIE' tattoo on his right hand and a picture of a tiger head on his left hand. On both of his thighs, he had pictures of a naked women tattooed, followed with snake and eagle character tattoos on his back. Bentong Kali also had a surgical scar on the abdomen.

His favourite choice of weapon was his German-made semi-automatic pistol, a SIG Sauer P226.

Criminal career
Bentong Kali’s criminal career started early in his childhood. He was arrested at the age of 14, and imprisoned until being released at the age of 19. He later joined a Chinese triad called 'Gang 04' in his hometown of Bentong. Bentong Kali was active around the capital in Brickfields, Segambut, Sungei Way and Ampang. He was arrested again in July 1985 under the Emergency Ordinance proclamation and jailed at Jerejak Island, Penang, but was released soon after in 1987. He was placed under limited residence restrictions in Kuantan, Pahang.

Bentong Kali returned to the criminal world soon after, setting up his own triad called 'Gang 08' in Jalan Klang Lama, Kuala Lumpur and lastly at Taman Sentosa klang.

Racketeering
Initially, he joined the Chinese triad called 'Gang 04', and subsequently left it and create Indian triad called 'Gang 08'. He was placed under house arrest, but subsequently established his own triad called 'Gang 04 Jalan Klang Lama' in Kuala Lumpur.

Drug-trafficking
'Gang 04' groups were actively involved in trafficking drugs, and for the offense Bentong Kali was arrested again in April 1980 and charged under the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. However, he was released when there was not enough evidence to convict him. For the second time, he was placed under house arrest in Gopeng, Perak, for two years. Bentong Kali then disappeared in November 1984.

Killing spree
In 1991, Bentong Kali resurfaced, committing a string of murders. It was reported that he was killing for the sake of killing, causing police to launch a special operation called 'Ops Buncit' in June 1993. 'Ops Buncit' was joined by 200 police personnel, including those from Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, and Pahang, who were massively mobilized to hunt down Bentong Kali.

He was known for his hot temper. On 12 June 1993, he attended a family function without being invited. A commotion arose between his accomplices and the guests, and Bentong Kali killed some of the guests in the commotion.

'Ops Buncit'
In an attempt to capture Bentong Kali, posters of him and his crimes were put up in public places all over Malaysia. A bounty of RM100,000 was also advertised as a reward for information that would lead to his capture. His posters were also distributed to neighbouring countries such as Thailand. The manhunt for Bentong Kali was a 24/7 operation throughout the nation.

Death
Police intelligence tracked Bentong Kali to his hideout in a double-storey terraced house in Medan Damansara, Kuala Lumpur on 29 June 1993. At the break of dawn, an elite team of police officers from the Special Actions Unit from Bukit Aman took positions and surrounded the house. Bentong Kali and his accomplices engaged the officers in a firefight. He was shot in the head and killed; his accomplices also died in the fight.

His remains was laid to rest on 2 July 1993, three days after his death. His last rites was performed by his son.

Legacy
Bentong Kali’s life story was published in a book titled The Story of Bentong Kali: Crime and Society in 90s Kuala Lumpur, written by former New Straits Times journalist, Suganthi Supramaniam published by Gerakbudaya. The book was released on 23 August 2019.

Edison Demonstration of Smallsat Networks (EDSN) was a failed (launch failure) CubeSat constellation by NASA Ames, developed as a technology demonstration of satellite networking. The constellation would have consisted of 8 identical satellites. The satellites followed the CubeSat specifications for a 1.5U CubeSat.

EDSN was funded through the Small Spacecraft Technology Program (SSTP). Additionally, NASA Ames has partnered with NASA Marshall, Montana State University, and Santa Clara University. All 8 CubeSats were destroyed during a launch failure of the Super Strypi rocket on November 3, 2015.

Mission
The eight identical spacecraft used absolute timing obtained from GPS satellites to maintain a schedule. Each day, one satellite would have acted as a Captain and the rest would have acted as Lieutenants. Each spacecraft was able to act as a Captain, and the role of Captain would have rotated through the constellation each 25-hour period. Lieutenants would only communicate with the Captain, and the Captain would have been responsible for downlinking to an Earth station.

Lifetime
NASA had estimated a 60-day mission lifetime, at which time the satellites would have drifted apart beyond the 100–120 km estimated range of the cross link and would have no longer been able to network.

Orbit
The constellation was planned for a 500 km altitude.

Design
EDSN was using Triangular Advanced Solar Cells (TASC) for power generation. Intersatellite communications would have been on UHF via a tapespring antenna. Ground communications would have been via an S-band patch antenna. The spacecraft would have used magnetometers and gyroscopes as attitude determination instruments and reaction wheels and torque coils for attitude control.

Cross link would have occurred via the UHF transceiver and on a UHF monopole with an estimated maximum range of 100–120 km. The link would have been initiated when the captain pings the specific Lieutenant's ID. The specified Lieutenant would have then responded with data to be downlinked. Downlink would have occurred on S-Band between the current captain and ground station.

The flight computer was a Samsung Nexus S smartphone.

title: Auburn and Northern Electric Railroad

text:
Chartered in 1904 by the Beebe Syndicate, the Auburn and Northern Electric Railroad connected the city of Auburn, New York with the Rochester, Syracuse and Eastern Railroad at Port Byron, New York to the north. The New York Board of Railroad Commissioners authorized construction and a $1 million mortgage to the A&N in 1905 so it could build  of track between Auburn and Port Byron. Lease of the line to be used by A&N was negotiated at an Auburn and Syracuse Electric Railroad stockholders' meeting in May 1907.

Construction of the line was contested by the Lehigh Valley Railroad who initiated a frog war when the A&N tried to build a crossing at its tracks; the A&N obtained an injunction and continued building. The railroad began operation in 1908. Lehigh Valley Railroad kept the crossing as a point of contention with an order from the railroad commission in 1909 requiring the A&N to install and operate derails at the crossing.

In 1913, it was consolidated with the RS&E and the Syracuse, Lake Shore and Northern Railroad to form Empire United Railways.

A short-lived union, the new company encountered financial trouble in 1916 and the RS&E was reorganized as the Rochester and Syracuse Railroad. The A&N and the SLS&N were reorganized as the Empire State Railway in 1917 after Beebe Syndicate control came to an end. The A&N entered receivership in 1928. The R&S leased the former A&N starting in 1931 until the end of all service that June.

title: Ancasmarca

text:
Ancasmarca, also known as Pitusiray or Sallcasa, is a  mountain in the Urubamba mountain range in the Andes of Peru. It is located in the Cusco Region, Calca Province, Calca District, north of the Vilcanota River. Ancasmarca is situated northeast of Huamanchoque, southeast of Canchacanchajasa, south of Sahuasiray, and southwest of Ccerayoc and Condorhuachana.

Mythology
Around 1575, the Spaniard Cristòbal de Molina wrote about the origins of the site in Relación de las fábulas y ritos de los Incas (Account of the Fables and Rites of the Incas). According to him, after consulting with his llamas, a shepherd foresaw the great flood. He took refuge with his 6 children on top of the Ancasmarca hill, which elevated as the waters rose. When the water cleared, the shepherd's children repopulated the region. For Molina, this was proof that the Andes had experienced the great flood told in the Bible by Noah. Other versions of the story explain that the llamas were sad because the stars were high in the sky and the animals understood what was coming.

Etymology
The word Ancasmarca is of Quechua origin and could have two different meanings:
Anqas or ancash: blue; marka: village; "blue village"
Anca: eagle; marka: village: "village inhabited by eagles"

title: Surfing in Indonesia

text:
Introduced to Indonesia in 1930s, surfing now attracts both Indonesian and foreign surfers to numerous locations across the nation.

History
The first surfer in Indonesia was the American Bob Koke who surfed at Kuta Beach in Bali in the mid to late 1930s. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Indonesian surfing beaches were featured in the surfing film Morning of the Earth and foreign surfers started coming to Bali. The sport later spread to locations such as Nias Island, G-Land in Java, and the Mentawai Islands.

In 2003, the Indonesian Surfing Championships (ISC) were launched by Tipi Jabrik, with the first edition in 2004 in partnership with Quiksilver.

In 2007, surfing was admitted into the 2007 Asian Beach Games in Bali as a sport by the International Olympic Committee.

In 2008, the ISC gained a partnership with Coca-Cola Amatil Indonesia in 2008. This partnership lasted almost five years, including the creation of the Asian Surfing Championships (ASC) from the success of the ISC.

In 2013, the Rip Curl Cup was staged at Padang Padang (won by Mega Semadhi from Pecatu, Bali),  That same year, the Oakley Pro Bali, the 5th stop of the world tour, was staged in Bali.

Indonesia, with its vast coastline and pristine waters, stands as a Mecca for surfers from around the globe.

Surfing revenue
Surfing is a multimillion-dollar Indonesian industry.  That includes transportation, accommodation, dining, entertainment, and surfing services and products. Some islands have beach communities that make a living directly from surfing, such as Lakey Peak in Sumbawa, Sorake Beach on Nias Island, and Uluwatu Beach in Bali.

Multinational surfing brands such as Billabong, Quiksilver, and Oakley, Inc. run their Southeast Asia operation and distribution out of their Bali headquarters.  Regional governments have held ASC surfing contests to promote their waves and beaches.

It is estimated that the surfing business generates more than half-billion dollars in Bali alone, which represents more than 10% of the amount generated by tourism. Taking into account that the largest part of the surfers in Bali are tourists, surfing can be considered as a major part of tourism in Indonesia.

Indonesian surfers
Rizal Tanjung was the first Indonesian to compete on the WQS. He was one of the first Indonesian surfers to travel as a professional surfer. He won the Indonesian Surfing Championship circuit in 2002 and 2006. He was called "The most recognizable Asian surfer alive" by Transworld Surf magazine. He also owns Kurawa and Rizt (two brands). He appeared in many surfing videos, including Loose Change and Stranger Than Fiction.

Oney Anwar was the first surfer from Sumbawa to compete on the WQS. He learned to surf in Lakey Peak and joined the Rip Curl team when he was 10. He moved to Australia in a Rip Curl program for young surfers and came back later in Indonesia. He is now internationally known and looking to qualify for the WCT.

Raditya Rondi has been winning the Asian Surfing Championships since their creation in 2011. Indeed, he won the title of champion three consecutive years.

title: Evan Blass

text:
Evan Blass, once known solely by his pen name @evleaks, is an American blogger, editor, and phone leaker. He gained international notoriety for a series of numerous smartphone and tablet leaks on Twitter, spanning the period July 2012 through August 2014, that made him a trusted source for many technology journalists. Blass announced his retirement from leaking devices in a tweet on August 3, 2014, although he soon returned to leaking under his pen name.

Career

From 2005–2008, Blass held several positions at AOL-owned technology site Engadget, including senior editor, before departing to write briefly for the now defunct technology publication Obsessable. From 2010–2012, Blass was managing editor of mobile technology site Pocketnow.

Blass was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2004, and in November 2013 was the subject of a report on The Verge documenting a controversial Walgreens policy pertaining to the dispensation of narcotic painkillers.

On November 23, 2015, Blass started writing for VentureBeat.

@evleaks Twitter account
The account was started in July 2012, or August 2012.

For nearly a year, Blass maintained the @evleaks account anonymously —while some of his colleagues knew of his identity, he purposely kept it hidden from the public at large. In June 2013, Blass fully revealed himself in an interview with Android Police, citing the inevitability of being unmasked as the reason for his decision.

As @evleaks, Blass was responsible for posting images and information pertaining to unannounced smartphones, tablets, accessories, applications, laptops, and a webOS-powered TV, collectively leaked from nearly every mobile device maker and US wireless carrier, often weeks or even months before their launches. He was particularly adept at obtaining information and pictures about Taiwanese manufacturer HTC Corporation and one-time Finnish handset maker Nokia, reporting on numerous devices those two companies planned during his two-year stint of activity. Additionally, he leaked materials about the Moto X (1st generation), Moto E (1st generation), Droid Ultra, Droid Maxx, and Droid Mini from Motorola; the Nexus 4, Nexus 5, G2, and G3 from LG; the Xperia Z, Z1S, Z2 tablet, and Z3 from Sony; and the first two Padfones and Padfone mini from Asus.

From May 2014 until his retirement, Blass attempted to monetize his leaks by publishing them on his own website, evleaks.at, deriving revenue through advertising sales. Immediately following his retirement announcement, however, Blass conducted an interview with The Next Web in which he recounted the problems he faced in trying to monetize a stream of Twitter leaks. Dozens of publications covered Blass's retirement, most notably the weekly BBC technology show Click and an accompanying BBC Online feature.

Following his self-professed retirement, Blass has continued to leak phones, including the Moto X (2014) (at the time assumed to be called the "Moto X+1"), Nexus 6, and Droid Turbo, all from Motorola. He later also leaked the LG G Pad X, Microsoft Lumia 735 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Active.

Wired magazine included Blass in its 2013 "101 Signals" list of "the best reporters, writers, and thinkers on the Internet." The Times of India profiled Blass (as @evleaks) in its May 11, 2013 edition.

In early 2016, Blass continued to leak accurate details of then-unreleased flagship smartphones Samsung Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 Edge, LG G5, HTC 10 and Huawei P9 through tweets and VentureBeat articles. He continued to leak throughout the rest of the year, 2017 and 2018.
