Criminal Charges Filed Against Former Michigan Governor Stemming from Flint Drinking Water Crisis
Ninth Circuit Rules Clean Water Act Water Quality Objectives Are Not Directly Applicable to Nonpoint Source Dischargers
EPA Takes Three Major Steps Towards Regulating PFAS Compounds Through the Clean Water Act NPDES Permit Program
By Harvey M. Sheldon
In a move that surprised some observers of the Flint Michigan drinking water crisis and saga, the former Governor of Michigan, Rick Snyder, was indicted earlier this month on two criminal charges of willful neglect of duty.
Factual Background
The facts surrounding the Snyder indictments involve his being informed in advance that there were definite as well as additional possible health risks involved in making the water supply switch, a move dictated primarily by a search for less expensive water. Because of the age and condition of the Flint system, the condition of the river water, and basic water delivery chemistry, the change resulted in there being pollutants, including lead leached from pipes, in the water delivered at peoples' taps. Snyder allowed the change to proceed and only declared a crisis after serious harm was obviously occurring.
Both are misdemeanor allegations that relate to the Governor's participation in the replacement of the drinking water supply for Flint Michigan. At least a dozen deaths are attributed to drinking the replacement water drawn from the Flint River, which was known to be polluted, rather than purchasing water supplies drawn from Lake Huron. The charges were sought and are being advanced by the Attorney General of Michigan, Dana Nessel. Prosecution is in the hands of the Michigan Solicitor General and the Wayne County prosecutor. Eight other officials were indicted at the same time as Snyder, with the charges individualized for each. In two cases, the indictments include involuntary manslaughter felony allegations. In another, perjury is alleged.
Procedural Summary of Case
In mid-year 2020 the Sixth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals had remanded to federal District Courts the pending class actions for tort recovery against Snyder and several other Michigan state and local government officials, finding that Snyder's alleged conduct was egregious enough to believe he may be found by a jury to have violated the substantive due process rights of Flint citizens by his lack of actions to protect against dangers of illness explained to him. He is the first governor in Michigan history to face indictment for conduct in office.
Issue of Immunity
Throughout the saga there have been reports of officials at different levels of federal, state and local government not taking seriously enough or acting fast enough to prevent the foreseeable and foreseen problems of health issues for those Flint residents and others drinking the replacement water. Usually in the past, where tragedies have occurred, governmental officials have enjoyed the protection of immunities that are afforded by law. If the Flint saga teaches nothing else to lawyers and officials, those days of expected and rather regularly accorded immunity are apparently gone.
The Parties Weigh In
The criminal charges were denounced by several Flint activists as being a mere slap in the face. Some advocated for manslaughter charges that would result in hard time for the former governor.
Governor Snyder's counsel denounced the indictment as a political stunt. Attorney General Nessel had ordered her predecessor's investigation into the same situation curtailed, claiming that the investigation was not proceeding in a professional enough manner. She had then appointed the Solicitor General and Wayne County prosecutor to conduct a new investigation, from which the current indictments have resulted. A special grand jury consisting of a circuit judge reviewed the evidence and returned the indictments.
Conclusion and Implications
As these charges pend, a federal district judge in Ann Arbor has taken under advisement a proposed settlement on behalf of affected people in Flint. The settlement is valued at about $640 million, with not all potential defendant parties involved participating. The federal EPA itself, along with engineering firms, remain targets of additional litigation for tort recovery. Proceeds are to be distributed to citizens who drank the Flint water. The opposition to the settlement contends the money received per Flint resident, reportedly around $500, is too little to be serious compensation for the harms caused.
The case and defense of the governor may well explore the limits of power, both legal and practical, in the 21st century. Although governors of states are singularly powerful officials, their actions are constrained not only by state, but federal laws. Local decisions and authority also must often be consulted.

Girls Varsity Softball · Jun 16 Softball Blast From the Past!
In this flashback video, OA Softball Girls celebrate their first season win by drenching manager, Jacob Hornberger with a bucket of water. True school spirit shown by the softball girls and Jacob! Way to go Twisters!

Girls Varsity Softball · May 29 OA's Weisenbach named Academic All State!
The OA Softball Team advanced to the second round of sectionals on Monday with a 14-9 memorial day win. The Twisters move on to Tuesday night's sectional second round, with a 7PM first pitch vs Jac Cen Del.
On a deceivingly cold day, the Twisters were able to heat up their bats, while the Cougars of Greenwood Christian never were able to do the same. Junior pitcher Cory Schumann pitched the full 7 innings for the complete game for the Twisters, as GCA wasn't able to mount many scoring opportunities throughout the ballgame.


I am creating this task to keep track of any patch, should we end up implementing this or a similar proposal.
Recommendation from privacy/security review: use an Origin When Cross-Origin policy.
@csteipp, thanks. Thanks for the review, I too support Origin When Cross-Origin.
@Rdicerb this is now in your camp, let me know how I can help.
Sadads added a subscriber: Sadads.
This is of interest to the Wikipedia library: some of our business case for donations from Publishers is the traffic case, and in the long run, this will be an important element of arguments that support more Open Access sourcing. I am imagining GLAM-Wiki would also be interested in accuracy for this kind of referral data.
@Sadads very much agreed. The original use case did come from scholarly publishers (see T99174), CrossRef's most recent estimates put Wikimedia at the 3rd-4th rank as a global source of DOI lookups (well ahead of any other individual publisher). I hadn't thought of the GLAM use case but it definitely makes sense.
(typing for @DarTar) would like to know if this is on your radar and what needs to happen on your end before we can proceed.
Rachel: I'd be happy to help write an update at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikimedia_referrer_policy as you see fit.
@Rdicerb whats the status/progress on this? We have been talking to a number of our partners about this issue, and it would be nice to have a window/timeline/prospect for if/when the origin data can be communicated.
Fantastic, thank you all. I'll notify our external collaborators (CrossRef and BBC) we're about to go live.
I'll talk to Comms to discuss the appropriate channels to announce the change, @BBlack what's the current ETA for the change to be live in production?
@DarTar - I'm not sure. Normally I think we'd just put this in the next SWAT, but SWAT is currently frozen for holidays - see https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments#End_of_year.2Fbeginning_of_new_year_.27code_freezes.27 . We'd need to wait for the week of Dec 7 or get approval from @greg, as this isn't a critical security or data-loss fix.
@BBlack @greg I'd be happy to postpone the actual deployment to early January so we can monitor the effects on referred traffic on the target domains in collaboration with our partners.
If there is a good window of time that we know that this will be implmented, The-Wikipedia-Library has a few key partners that we could ask about specific traffic effects, to understand rates and ratios, etc. @Samwalton9 does most of our metrics discussion with our partners, so will be the contact alongside me for @DarTar for Comms and/or tracking with publishers.
@Rdicerb: we are putting together our next Newsletter for the Wikipedia Library: happy to include more discussion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library/Newsletter/October-November2015 . It gets shared through a number of community channels, and we regularly talk about referencing etc.
@Rdicerb yes that's what we discussed but I guess the timeline was never communicated on this thread (I should have posted an update). January is definitely the best option.
@Sadads @Samwalton9 quick coordination call next week to discuss partners and do a little bit of planning?
@DarTar Sending a scheduling email now -> please let me know if it works.
Started a preliminary discussion with Ops on the timeline of a possible rollout.
I'll mention it in Tech News. This will go into production on February 15, correct?
@Johan Your team also metioned that it might be a good idea to place a notice at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Main_Page/WM_News notifying of the change, and pointed to the research page? That would be super helpful as well.
As today's the 16th - are there still blockers before we roll this, or is it just waiting for someone to put it on the Deployments calendar now?
@BBlack per email, we have a solid list of partner orgs confirmed (T87276) and no more blockers for a deployment.
This was wrongly configured and doesn't work.
Failed to set referrer policy: The value 'Origin When Cross-Origin' is not one of 'always', 'default', 'never', 'no-referrer', 'no-referrer-when-downgrade', 'origin', 'origin-when-crossorigin', or 'unsafe-url'. This document's referrer policy has been left unchanged.
This error is currently being reported in the dev console for all users on all projects.
Indeed, the correct value to use in the meta tag should be origin-when-cross-origin, lowercase and hyphenated (reference).
Note that the error message misses the hyphen: origin-when-crossorigin.
Per discussion with @BBlack, @csteipp and @Krinkle on Gerrit, and after checking that major browser vendors originally implemented the erroneous version without the hyphen (origin-when-crossorigin) but later released patches to support both values, the decision is to move forward and use origin-when-cross-origin, consistently with the specs.
Krinkle added subscribers: Bawolff, Mooeypoo, StudiesWorld.
Krinkle added a subscriber: MaxSem.
I now get errors in Safari/Webkit console btw.
I have therefore opened a feature request ticket with upstream.
Fascinating :) Any idea if it also throws an error on the other spelling that the specs have been confusing on, which is origin-when-crossorigin? From the error message, it sounds like it would.
Apologies if this has been discussed before, but why did we do this with a <meta> header instead of the HTTP Header? The latter besides feeling cleaner, would allow us to manipulate (e.g. unset or change) the header temporarily from VCL in case we need to change it for some emergency reason, without waiting for the HTMLs to expire.
I don't think that was ever really discussed that I recall. Part of what breaks this all up is that the feature was implemented in code terms way back in Jan 2015 here: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/186104/ , and the *code* only outputs the meta tag, not the header. From that point, when it came closer to actually turning this on, the discussion was only about turning on the mediawiki-config to enable the feature that had already been in the code forever.
@faidon: what @BBlack said, I don't think this option has ever been discussed. I understand the idea of a <meta> header instead of an HTTP header is to allow content publishers to retain fine-grained control at the document level, but I can't think of any use case where we would need that.
For reference, this is the relevant section from the specs.
Tested, yes, that also reports an error.
John Vanderberg posted some comments on the possibility for target sites to reconstruct the full referral, which are accurate (to the best of my knowledge) and represent one of the undesirable consequences of this change. @csteipp @BBlack: can you take a look and respond on-wiki if you have any additional thoughts?
Note that before the change target sites which were linked over HTTPS received the full URL, not just the origin.
In any case, if the topic of your site is so specific that only a single Wikipedia page links to it, it's hard to imagine that it would yield any nontrivial information if you learned about a visitor of your site that they visited that wiki page. Probably the only real information leak that happens here is that you might learn about the language or nationality of the user from what language subdomain they come from.
Chrome seems to claim our referrer policy is no-referrer-when-downgrade. (Chrome 60.0.3112.101, Ubuntu 16.04, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page, top of Network > Headers in dev console.) observatory.mozilla.org and securityheaders.io also claim we have no referrer policy. It might be that those tools just aren't intelligent enough to look at meta tags, or it might be that the meta tag is recognized by less devices. Are we sure that's not the case?
...where the graph stops just the day before the referrer policy was implemented?
@TheDJ: The upstream bugs were resolved a year ago, but the error still happens in the latest Safari (including in Safari Technology Preview Release 56 (Safari 11.2, WebKit 13606.1.17.2.2)). Did it regress since last year or am I missing something?

A Jaunt Through Jaffa - Full Page - 1
CLICK HERE TO SEE THIS ARTICLE IN ITS ORIGINAL PRINT
Four-thousand-year-old Jaffa is part of 82-year-old Tel Aviv, Israel's largest city and chief center of commerce and entertainment. The Tayelet (promenade), stretching along the Mediterranean shore from Jaffa to the heart of Tel Aviv, has been developed in recent years into a walkway of patterned paving stones, flanked with flower gardens, cafés, restaurants and sitting areas, all leading to an excellent beach. In this respect Tel Aviv mimics Rio de Janeiro, a city that's also a seaside resort. Old Jaffa, restored in the 1970s, is alive, especially at night with restaurants, galleries, boutiques and crowds—and is only occasionally a little precious.
Visitors to Jaffa are unlikely to see any of the damage caused by the Iraqi Scud missiles that slammed into Tel Aviv during the Gulf War. Most missile damage was in residential neighborhoods, wreaking substantial havoc but mercifully causing little injury. Since then, life in Israel has returned to normal.
GETTING THERE: Daily flights operate from the United States to Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport, a 20-minute cab ride from Tel Aviv's center or from Jaffa. El Al Israel Airlines flies from Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston and Miami, and runs daily nonstops from New York (except Friday night and Jewish holidays). Trans World Airlines also has daily flights to Tel Aviv via Paris (nonstop on Friday), and Pan American flies daily except Tuesday and Sunday, also via Paris. Tower Air makes five nonstop flights a week from New York to Tel Aviv.
At Jaffa's flea market: Baubles, old and new, and a wealth of other bric-a-brac
GETTING AROUND: A taxi from the airport into Tel Aviv costs around $16. Cabs abound in Tel Aviv. The ride into Jaffa costs $3-$4. Most visitors take cabs, walk the shortfront Tayelet or hop a bus. A pleasure alternative is the Hofit boat, which runs from Tel Aviv's marina to Jaffa's port. The fare is $2.50; telephone 817187 for schedules.
WHERE TO STAY: There are no hotels in Jaffa itself, although Tel Aviv's hotel strip is just five minutes away by cab—or a 20-minute walk. Tel Aviv's Dan Hotel (90 Hayarkon St.; telephone 212-752-6120; in Israel 972-3-524-1111; fax 972-3-524-9755), the city's first luxury hotel, opened in 1954. Almost 40 years later, its ocean façade geometrically and somewhat garishly daubed by Israeli artist Yaacov Agam, the Dan is once again Tel Aviv's top hotel. Doubles run from $190 to $225, the latter for rooms in the more desirable King David wing overlooking the Tayelet (fifth floor suites have big sea-view terraces). Room rates include a lavish breakfast buffet. The beachfront Sheraton Tel Aviv (overlooking the Tayelet) and the Tel Aviv Hilton (in Independence Park) are excellent too. All rooms of the Hilton have views of the Mediterranean. Doubles at the Sheraton (115 Hayarkon St.; 800-325-3525; in Israel 972-3-528-6222; fax 972-3-528-0805) cost $165-$185 without breakfast; at the Hilton (Independence Park; 800-445-8667; in Israel 972-3-520-2222; fax 972-3-527-2711), $215-$230, also without breakfast. A little off the regular tourist beat and closer to Jaffa, is the Dan Panorama (10 Kaufman St.; 972-3-519-0190; fax 972-3-658-599). Convenient to Tel Aviv's World Trade Center, the Dan Panorama isn't as fancy as the other Dan, its corporate sister, but it's a brisk 10-minute walk along the Tayelet from Jaffa. Doubles here cost $199-$131, including breakfast.
WHERE TO EAT: Almost all Israeli hotel dining rooms are kosher. Most Israeli restaurants, however, are not—and, particularly in Tel Aviv-Jaffa, shellfish and port are readily available. Jaffa abounds with restaurants, from hole-in-the-wall havens for couscous of falafel to trendier spots serving freshly caught Mediterranean seafood. As you sit down at Sukka Levana (72 Kedem St.; 830044), you're immediately served large quantities of excellent Middle Eastern hors d'œuvres (some spicy, others mild; the fragrantly fried eggplant slices are sublime), followed by fish, shrimp or calamari. Tables are indoors or (better) on a patio, where some of Tel Aviv's glitterati dine beneath spotlit palm trees. There are no menus. Dinner for two runs $55-$65 without wine. Less well-known Abu Nassar (130 Kedem St.; 875539) specializes in Arab dishes: meze appetizers, grilled lamb chops, kabobs and shashlik. Dinner for two costs about $50 without wine. Both Sukka Levana (which means White Pergola) and Abu Nassar are near the beach, south of Old Jaffa. In the heart of Old Jaffa's Kedumim Square, try Yamit (16 Kedumim Squarel 825353; $50) for seafood, including grouper, Sant Peter's fish (from the Sea of Galilee) and shellfish, or, an old favorite Toutoun (1 Mazal Dagim St.; $45-$65; 820693), a Moroccan-French restaurant with haute cuisine and some pretensions. Down at the wharf of Jaffa's ancient port are a series of restaurants whose tables and chairs are arranged adkacent to boats, fishing nets and piles of ropes, including Benni Hadayag, which means Benny the Fishman (Hangar No. 4; 813894; $60), where the appetizers and dishes of grilled shellfish are excellent.
Since you're staying in Tel Aviv, note that two of Israel's finest restaurants are not in Jaffa at all, but nearby in Tel Aviv. Keren (located so close to Jaffa that its address is 12 Eilat St., Jaffa-Tel Aviv; 816565; $75-$100) is set in a magnificently restored turn-of-the-century house, once part of Jaffa's American Colony, a hostel for American Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land. Opened in the fall of 1990, it has elegant, understated pastel surroundings. Dine upstairs in the main dining room or on its veranda overlooking the floodlit American Colony. Start with mushrooms cappuccino or foie gras salad, then move on to sea bass in Pernod sauce of foie gras and red mullet in red wine. To try Israel's most surprising gastronomic treat, head for Avazzi (54 Etzel St.; 379918), in Tel Aviv's working-class neighborhood of Schunat Hatikvah. This is where Tel Avivians come in droves to sample Israel's spectacular foie gras—barbecued simply on skewers and served with French fries. Much of France's foie gras is made from livers of Israeli geese—and at Avazzi you may sample this delicacy deliciously and inexpensively: One skewer of barbecued foie gras (few diners can eat more than one) costs $7.50, so dinner rarely exceeds $20 a person. Avazzi (translation: Goosey) is not ornate (wooden tables, paper napkins), it's kosher and it's not to be missed.
WHERE TO SHOP: Stores in Old Jaffa close late Friday afternoon for the Sabbath, but are otherwise open until 11 P.M. At the Shuk Ha Pishpeshim (flea market), open daily except Saturday in the heart of the town (behind Old Jaffa), bargain hunters find a gamut of goods, from old ropes, bath plugs, used shoes and rickety chairs to near-Tiffany lamps, copper and brass antiques, Damascene boxes and a wealth of bric-a-brac. Few tourists come here, and bargaining is in order. Counter with one third of the offering price and, after haggling, you and the shop owner will probably agree to meet halfway. In tourist-oriented Old Jaffa, visit Rachel Gera's jewelry gallery (9 Mazal Dagim St.; 813269), where eccentric, often oversize rings, bracelets and necklaces are fashioned from sterling silver, gold and, an Israeli specialty, pieces of excavated Roman glass. The Richter Gallery (24 Simtat Mazal Arie; 825842) has a fine collection of prints, oils, ceramics and glass—perhaps Jaffa's most imaginative. Frank Meisler's gallery (25 Simtat Mazal Arie; 824098) displays the artist's pewter, silver and gold-plated sculptures. And at Didya Antiques (15 Mazal Dagin St.; 826169) you'll find 1920s flapper dresses, early Zionist souvenirs and such pre-World War II campy "Palestiniana" as art deco Hebrew posters and modern cigarette boxes.
A view of ancient flood-lit roofs enhances late-night drinks on a Jaffa pub's balcony
TO SEE AND DO: Just walking through Old Jaffa, especially in the evenings, is a treat. A visit to the Antiquities Museum of Tel Aviv-Jaffa (10 Mirafratz Shlomo St.; 825375; admission $1.50), located in the heart of Old Jaffa and specializing in the port's archeology, is fascinating; its 4,000 years of artifacts are labeled in English and in Hebrew. Jaffa's Arms Museum (35 Batei Haosef; 652913) has an intriguing display of antique guns and assorted military hardware. For some visitors, a highlight of Old Jaffa at night is the Omar Khayyam nightclub (5 Metiv Hamazalot; 827800), where owner-performer Yoel Sharr, a singer and comedian best described as Israel's Don Rickles, gives nightly shows—often off-color, caustic and to some, charmingly disparaging. Since the barbs are tossed around in both Hebrew and English, Americans face no language barrier.
PLAYING IT SAFE: At press time, the U.S. Department of State was advising Americans not to travel to the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem—but it offered no advisories regarding Tel Aviv-Jaffa.
Still, most first-time visitors to Israel are startled by the number of soldiers everywhere. In Tel Aviv-Jaffa, the soldiers are not on patrol—just strolling, shopping, relaxing, going about their daily business, often in civvies with an Uzi slung over a shoulder. After a day or so though, tourists seldom look twice. A second surprise is the vast numbers of people everywhere speaking Russian; Soviet Jews are flocking to Israel, and Russian speakers and signs abound.
It's safe to drink the water throughout Israel and street food is general okay—but cast the same critical eye you would in the United States: Is a food stand looks unappealing, pass it by. When you book a restaurant table more than 24 hours in advance, it is wise to reconfirm on the appointed day. If you dine outside Tel Aviv or Old Jaffa, ask the restaurant to call a cab for your ride home: There are no cruising taxis at Jaffa's port or south of Old Jaffa. A 10-15 percent service charge is almost always added to your restaurant check; leave a shekel or two extra but don't fall into the common trap of adding yet another tip in the empty gratuity box on the credit card slip. If you're recent a car, the easiest and safest parking is in Old Jaffa; there is a $2.50 admission fee per car, which also includes parking.
Finally, be sure to change all your shekels back to U.S. currency before leaving Israel. They cannot be converted legally into other currencies outside the country anywhere in the world.

Hey there empire builders! I know that it's not technically fall yet, but the kids are back to school (most of them), life seems to have mildly settled from the busy-ness of summer and if you're like most business owners, then you are gearing up for an epic end to 2016.
I've created a mini checklist to help you to get on track for fall and to help you explore what's next.
Review in more depth below and feel free to share your explorations in the comments section!
How does your energy feel surrounding your business right now?
If you're feeling on a super-high after a restful summer, then it's a great time to kick things into high-gear and work on producing or launching something new and exciting!
If you feel low-energy, it's time to take stock of what's working, what's not and how you want to change things around this Fall or prepare for BIGGER change this winter.
How are things going with your clients/customers? Do you have enough? Do you have too many? Have there been more complaints than usual or have you been getting some great feedback? What is your #1 goal related to clients right now?
How are your finances? Are you bringing in the money you had hoped to be bringing in at this point in the year or are you falling short? If you're falling short, can you estimate by how much?
What would you like to bring in between September and the end of December?
What marketing have you been most involved in this past year and has it been working? What areas of marketing EXCITE you the most? Do you plan to implement this marketing before the new year arrives? If so, how?
I know, this assessment is NOT the most complex…but getting on track for fall doesn't have to be complex. Simply take action and reap the benefits of your work.
Want some help creating a Plan of Action for your fall strategy and marketing? Nab one of my 5 remaining Income Mapping Sessions of 2016! We can take a look at your current business structure, rates, & goals, and then come up with a doable plan of action to help you hit your financial targets.

Grand jury: no indictment
Written by Terry A. Hurlbut on November 24, 2014 . Posted in News.
The grand jury in St. Louis County, Missouri returned no true bill of indictment against Police Officer Darren Wilson in the death of Michael Brown. The county prosecutor made a long speech afterward. In it he made one thing crystal clear: the evidence did not support a murder charge or even a manslaughter charge.

Early reports came from television news and from Jason Sickles, reporter for Yahoo! News. In addition, Prosecutor Robert McCullough gave a lengthy press conference after the grand jury announced their decision. Fox News Channel, CNN, Bloomberg TV, Al-Jazeera America, the One America Network, and MSNBC, among others, carried it live. (The "Alphabet Soup Networks," that is, ABC-TV, CBS-TV, and NBC-TV, did not. Neither did PBS.)
McCullough decided to lay all the evidence before the grand jury, because so many people in the community had such strong feelings about the case. But McCullough did not "take a stand" and ask the grand jury to indict Wilson.
In his press conference me set out five different charges they could have brought. They included murder in the first and second degrees, and voluntary and involuntary manslaughter. The grand jury declined to indict on any charge.
McCullough made clear only a weak case existed against Wilson. Witnesses told different stories. Several witnesses stuck to their stories even when the evidence ran against those stories. McCullough also condemned "the social media" for spreading lurid rumors that had no evidence to back them up. He also described what happens when one witness says something sensational, and other witnesses assert they saw the same thing, though they did not. Others (like Fox News Commentator Arthur Aidala, Esq.) have called this bandwagoning.
[ezadsense midpost]
McCullough ended his press conference at 8:58 p.m. CST. De facto President Obama announced he would speak at 10:00 p.m. EST (9:00 p.m. CST). He did speak, at 10:09 p.m. EST.
The reliable evidence that did come out, supported the story and report by Wilson, not by Michael Brown's companion (and likely partner in shoplifting). The grand jury also heard Wilson did know about a shoplifting and did have a description of the suspects in that shoplifting, and of the item they stole. Wilson saw Brown and his buddy, reported two men answering to the descriptions of the suspects, and called for backup. Then he used his car to block their way (and to block traffic). That's when the fight began, the fight that ended with Brown's death.
Riots broke out after the press conference ended. Fox News Channel's camera crews picked up gunfire outside Ferguson Police Headquarters.
The family of Michael Brown called for "peaceful" protest. They condemned any who would "answer violence with violence." When Obama finally spoke, he repeated that call.

Grand jury: no indictment in Ferguson. Fair or foul?

Wonderful advice as always Julia, though I must say that a meal of rice and beans and a night free of movies/TV isn't so bad! Thanks for the terrific posts.
I have found your posts really interesting, and very much along my own way of thinking. As you say, giving 10% can actually be quite pleasurable, and giving even a modest amount to recommended efficient organisations can help a great number of people. I also don't feel deprived - connections with others, deciding where my money will go, and seeing evidence of the good it can do makes it all a really positive thing for me.

Detainees on Manus Island are featured in a short documentary by Lennox Head filmmaker, Angus McDonald. Howling Eagle Productions
Filmmaker says 'cruelty and brutality' of Manus must end
by Liana Turner
13th Aug 2019 12:00 PM | Updated: 2:00 PM
A NORTHERN Rivers filmmaker whose documentary on the Manus Island detention centre will be eligible for Academy Awards consideration hopes the global attention could change Australia's approach to asylum seekers.
Lennox Head artist and filmmaker Angus McDonald has produced Manus, which features secretly-filmed footage of men who've been detained on the island for years.
Mr McDonald said the film was made possible by the footage taken by journalist Olivia Rousse, who travelled to Manus in secret with two other Australians in 2017.
In June, Manus claimed the best documentary prize at the Oscar-qualifying St Kilda Film Festival.
He said the significance of this recognition was two-fold.
"As an artist, I'm trying to craft beautiful engaging work that's emotive for the viewer," he said.
But he hoped the work would also lead to changes in "the way we manage people who arrive here".
"I got into this for one reason really and that was to try and raise awareness with the Australian public," he said.
It's not the first foray into the asylum seeker crisis for his film company, Howling Eagle.
Youtube series Philoxenia, released last year, looked at the situation in other parts of the world.
"It always was (the plan), I wanted to start overseas so I could get some global perspective," Mr McDonald said.
"They have to handle massive numbers of people in comparison to the smaller numbers we have here.
"The cruelty and brutality of (Australia's) policy is so unnecessary, so expensive as well and not any real solution, just inflicting more suffering."
With ongoing conflicts and the looming threat of some communities being displaced in the future by climate change, Mr McDonald said the issue of people seeking genuine asylum was not going to disappear.
Through the film, he's asking Australian authorities to consider "a humanitarian way of dealing with it", something he said other countries had mastered.
Seeing the faces and hearing the voices of men still detained on Manus would help to make any alternative to this difficult, he said.
Manus will be shown in two private screenings in Victoria and in Gosford on the Central Coast this month but the film's also being considered for further film festivals.
A trailer for the film includes Iranian refugee and Kurdish journalist Behrouz Boochani, author of No Friend But the Mountains, a book written on a mobile phone smuggled into Manus.
In the trailer, Mr Boochani spoke of men who'd been recognised as refugees under international law and who "deserve to get freedom".

Bullock stars as FBI Special Agent Gracie Hart. Bullock's character heads to Las Vegas on a new case with a fellow FBI agent, played by Regina King. Murciano will star as a liaison with the Las Vegas bureau of the FBI who falls for Hart after recently being dumped by his own girlfriend.
Heather Burns and William Shatner also star.

I am thinking about making a bidirectional link between a java application which controls some parts of an unreal game. Setting and getting game values. Probably a dll can make it. I know how to use a dll in an unreal game and in a java application.
I don't know how to call a game method by the java application. E.g. I want to read the window size of the game or set the player's position. Would be callbacks, provided by the dll to the game, a solution?
Now you can call function howToGetString("a string ") and it will call you c++ class. I used it in OnActivityResult to get data from my intent. Hope this will help someone.
Lovely. Works just like described. Thanks!
Short answer; using a dll does not work! Each process runs its own copy of the dll in his process space. Sharing dll data is not possible. Inter process communication do this.
How can I change google vr ndk?
How do I call Java code in unreal c++ using JNI?

Firstly, let us go through the diverse symbols of the game. Then we will move forward to the impressive features of the game.
Adventure Palace Symbols
Adventure Palace features two exclusive symbols, i.e., wilds and scatters. Other than this, there is a total of 5 high paying symbols and 6 low paying symbols represented by different animals and card values from Ace to 9, respectively. All the symbols in this game are styled in such a way so that they can match with the theme of a jungle.
A palace symbol represents the scatter symbol. The scatter symbol looks a bit like the Taj Mahal covered by a jungle. Numerous fantastic features of the game get unlocked when a specific number of scatters land on the reels. An elephant represents the wild symbol. The wild symbol has a fantastic animated effect. The elephant in the symbols honks its trunk and blinks its eyes in order to identify your achievements. Now, let us have an in-depth overview of the features offered by different symbols.
Understanding the Adventure Palace y Microgaming is as easy as playing it. It has different animal-themed symbols that offer the players with various features such as free spins, multipliers, and jackpots. Let us have a look at them:
There is a palace symbol in the game which represents the scatter symbol. If at any moment, 3, 4, or 5, scatter symbols appear on consecutive reels, the feature of free spins will be activated. You will get an award of 15 free spins.
There is also a feature of 3x multiplier with each spin, i.e., every time you win something in a free spin, the reward will become three times. Moreover, the scatters can also be retriggered, which means you have a fair chance of winning 30, 45, or 60 simultaneous free spins with the help of 3x multiplier.
In normal and favourable conditions, you can get a maximum of 5 to 20 free spins only without using any multiplier.
The symbol of a grey elephant represents the wild symbol.
The wild symbol has the capability that it can replace all the symbols on the reels except for the scatter symbol. Any winning combination with an existence of the wild symbols will lead towards a 2x multiplier. This means that the pay-line win will automatically get doubled if you are lucky enough to get a combination of the wild symbols.
If you get 5 wild symbols on all of the 5 reels, you can activate the Adventure Palace jackpot and win a total of 10,000 coins which is equivalent to $45,000.00 on the highest bet.
In the gamble feature of Adventure Palace, the players will get a chance which can increase their ongoing winning by 2x or 4x.
If you are going to play the gamble round, you will be encountering two colour cards, i.e., black and red, and different suits including Spades, Hearts, Clubs, and Diamonds. You have to make a bet on the correct card from the cards mentioned above. And if you are lucky enough to make the right guess, you will be the winner of the gamble round. Now, you have the opportunity of doubling or quadrupling your current winnings.
When you go for jackpot, you must hit 5 elephants in all the reels. If you are lucky enough to do so, you will get 10,000 times your original bet. However, if you fail to do so and get 4 elephants instead of 5, the worth of 4 elephants on consecutive reels is 2000 times your stake. If you get 5 marmosets or tigers or even monkeys, you still get 750 times your stake. We know that it makes a huge difference, but something is always better than nothing.
The reason why we recommend you to play Adventure Palace is that there are numerous elements in this game, such as the appearance and the simplicity that will appeal to your desires. The graphics or the theme of the game might not feel up to the mark to you, but with several extra features and the way the game has been designed, it is worth a spin or two. Rest, it all depends on you whether this game is your cup of tea or not.

La Rochelle dominates the LOU
La Rochelle took advantage of Toulouse's slip in Castries, defeating Lyon in his garden (38-23) and holding on to the leader of the Top 14 despite the end of the match in which Rochella left an offensive bonus.
A victory but also a touch of regret for La Rochelle. While the rejuvenated Toulouse team failed earlier in the day at Custer, Juno Gibbs and Ronan Ogara had the opportunity to regain the top of the top 14 teams. Offensive bonus against Leon. And whoever says an offensive bonus, he says he scores more attempts than the opponent. A principle applied by the Rochelle family from the third minute. After a herding game from Brice Dulin, Dillyn Leyds took advantage of his fast speed to grab the ball and flatten the first attempt of this meeting. However, if Ihaia West misses his first penalty kick, Jonathan Wisniewski faces less difficulty, and in less than ten minutes, he added two ground fouls from the Maritimes and reduced LOU to just one point. In the process, the La Rochelle striker regained precision to give air to his training. However, the lack of discipline of Charentais angered the referee of the meeting who, after a short half hour of play, Danny Brissot was released for ten minutes, accused of deliberate breakdown of the attack. Ten minutes in the numerical advantage Pierre Mignone's players could not take advantage of.
La Rochelle managed to score at crucial moments
Even worse, it was the Rochelle who took advantage of this end from the first period to prove their control of this meeting. In fact, after a penalty kick, Ihaia West went there for his attempt before halftime. Three minutes after the warning siren was sounded, Maritim did not interrupt their efforts and increased playing time to destabilize the Lyon defense. Taking advantage of the surplus, the New Zealander burst into goal and, despite two opponents, shot behind the line to give Stade Rochelle 14 lengths at rest, but was unable to regain Marcel-Devlander's Park. Touching, make way for Jules Le Bell. But that didn't bother Ronan O'Gara's players, who started Chapter 2 as if they were starting Chapter 1. In a good kick from Bryce Doolin, Delaine Leeds grabbed the ball to pass it to Geoffrey Domero, who put La Rochelle on the path to the offensive bonus. The former Parisian strengthened his side's advantage through opportunism by knocking him down ten minutes after the break of the first half. Shortly before the hour passed, Jules Le Bail improved on a late tackle on Dillyn Leyds but a game-changing event at the end of the match.

Tuisova played a bad trick on Rochelais
An hour later, Pierre Mignoni fired Joshua Tuisova and it took only three minutes for the Fiji to emerge. Despite an intervention by Jules Favre who tried to intercept the ball, Charlie Ngatai managed to change his winger who went to score in the corner, leaving Rochelais' offensive bonus. But it only lasted seven minutes, it was time for Kevin Gordon to come and wrap up a good streak for his team. However, known not to be accepted in home trials, La Rochelle had a tough end to the match. Ten minutes after the match, Josua Tuisova had a double after recovering the ball from Pierre-Louis Barassi and a relay from Jonathan Pélissié who kicked for Fiji, serving perfectly to go to trial. For the honor, Pierre Louis Brasi also went there who attempted three minutes after the match in an action initiated by Alex Tollo and after a pass after a call from Jonathan Bellissé. La Rochelle saves the basics by winning at home (38-23) but it is only back to Toulouse, who maintains the advantage due to head-to-head matches. Lyon, who lost after three successive wins, is still in a critical position in terms of qualifying for the last stage of the top 14.

Profile Response: Tim Lawson, Portal AZ | How Will We Live Tomorrow?
Tom Lawson is a very long distance runner. His preferred venue are races where runner's cover a mile loop as many times as they can in six days. "There's a kitchen on the course. We run in one side, grab food, and run out he other. I nap two hours max at a time." Tim prefers running at night, where lesser visibility creates a sharper focus. "In one race in Queens, I got into my head space and ran fifteen miles without realizing it." The world record for these races is 643 miles; Tim's personal best is 450 miles. That's over seventy miles a day.
Three years ago, when living in Boulder CO, Tim decided to go on a long run. He retrofitted a runner's baby pushcart to carry one hundred pounds of gear, mostly water, and took off for Portland, OR. From Portland he headed south. "It rained all along the Oregon coast and I didn't want the tent to get mildewed, so I ran continuously and slept in one hour stints against guardrails. I ran from Portland to Yosemite in three weeks." Tim returned to the coast. "I don't like running in cities, so I went from Malibu to Long Beach, 60 miles, in one day." When Tim got to San Diego he turned east toward Jacksonville, FL.
At one point Tim was down to 168 pounds. He added one jar of Nutella a day to his diet to get back to 175 pounds. He averaged a four to five mile an hour pace: 35 miles a day.
Tim met Ron Kaczor running through Coronado National Forest in a snowstorm. After two days of rest, Tim continued east. Forty miles out the wheel on his rig broke. He returned to Portal and has been living in Ron's trailer ever since. He's a computer handyman and ranch hand.
"The problem is a lot of these big cities people will never get out of the mentality that things just come to them. They have no connection to the natural world or our natural resources. That is a hindrance to how I would like to see the future.

The First Gallery here in Southampton has to be the most unusual art gallery I've ever visited, and certainly the most unusual I've exhibited in. Run by mother and son team, Margery and Paul Clarke, the gallery was set up in their home in the late 60s with the remit of providing a small, personal space in which professional artists can sell their work, and those with an interest in art can view and buy the work, having seen what it might look like in a domestic setting. The gallery has grown in reputation over the years whilst remaining small and personal.
I was pleased to have a print selected for the gallery's exhibition entitled The Green Man. The show centred on a series of prints and paintings by Elizabeth Nash based on the subject of the green man (more information here). This was complimented by work on the same theme from other local artists including fellow Red Hot Press members Sue Anderson and Tamsin Loveday. As well as print, there were works in a variety of media; drawing, painting, bas-relief & wicker, sculpture, book-works, digital photography and textiles. My own piece was an aquatint of a Woodwose or wild man, a sort of distant relation of the green man, explained here in my blog post about the print.
There. Not everything's about the royal wedding today.
Private views were a bit like buses at the beginning of April; none for months then two in five days. Red Hot Impressions which runs from 5 April to 18 June 2011, is the first collaboration between Red Hot Press Printmaking Workshop and The Art House, Southampton's not-for-profit café gallery and arts venue. It's a great venue right in the city centre so we were very excited to be asked to show there.
The Art House has a lively programme of events including art, music and poetry, and workshops in just about anything you can think of, from English folk fiddle to drumming, and sign language to beadwork. They even run a workshop on how to run a workshop! The venue also provides a meeting place for a number of groups which include writers, knitting, language café and a group which makes stuff out of scrap anything – very much in line with The Art House's green ethics. The café serves vegan food prepared and cooked on site, grown organically and locally sourced where possible. And those who run the show, mostly volunteers, are great. What's not to like about this place?
Red Hot Impressions includes original prints from sixteen members of Red Hot Press and covers a wide range of printmaking techniques; etching, linocut, woodcut, drypoint, letterpress, screen printing, collagraph, gum transfer, monprinting… I've probably forgotten some. A full and varied show! We had fun hanging the exhibition - a team of seven of us did it in just under three hours, and during that time, I think we put every print on just about every screw in the gallery! It all came together really well in the end though. Here's the Art House's blog with some pictures of us hanging the show.
The opening was well-attended; the wine flowed, thanks to the Art House crew, and work sold. All in all, a very pleasant evening. More pictures here. If you haven't paid a visit to The Art House, jog on down and have a coffee and some of their superb home-made cake - surrounded by excellent works of art of course!
Weekend before last, I was fortunate to be able to attend an etching master class at Red Hot Press taught by Andrew Baldwin, etcher extraordinaire and non-toxic printmaking evangelist.
The weekend started on Friday evening with Andrew giving a talk about how he'd got into printmaking and why he's particularly keen to make it as non-toxic as possible. Having come from a family of commercial printers, Andrew feels that printing is in his blood. It was his interest in art however which led him to apply for a job as a print room technician at Aberystwyth University where he has taught for the last twenty years or so. It was there that he first discovered (and was smitten with) etching.
Problems with the etching bath ventilation system and his father's health problems following a life time in the printing trade lead Andrew to start thinking about the hazards of printmaking, in particular etching; he told us horror stories about dissolving tooth enamel and exploding fingers. There are a myriad of dangers in the print room – arsenic, mercury and lead in traditional etching grounds which can be absorbed through the skin, vapours and gases given off by solvents and mordants which can cause all kinds of lung and central nervous system problems.
To avoid as many health hazards as possible, Andrew has researched and/or reinvented virtually every substance used by etchers, from degreasing solutions to aquatints, from stopping out to etching grounds. It's his new ground, Baldwin's Intaglio Ground (BIG) which is the real news however; a ground which can be used as hard, soft and liquid and which is completely non-toxic. Check out his video here.
Over the course of the weekend workshop, Andrew showed us as many of his non-toxic techniques as he was able to pack into two days; intense information upload! Topics covered include plate preparation, using hard and soft grounds, stopping out techniques using BIG and Copydex, sand paper aquatints, poor man's mezzotint, blue guitar process, icing sugar aquatints, instant coffee sugar lift, etching mordants and how they work, spit bite, plate registration techniques, double drop printing… We even managed to fit in some etching of our own! We each made a three-plate sandpaper aquatint. I think it was his mission to tell us everything there is to know about etching!
Although there was quite a lot of basic information given, it filled in a few gaps for me, and I learnt new stuff too. I'm particularly keen to try printing some of my portraits double drop as I've been thinking about how to get some colour into my work for a while. For those who aren't familiar with the technique, this provides a way of bringing some subtle colour to the work by printing the same plate twice on the same piece of paper but in two different colours. The best registration in the world is never going to be perfect and it's the interplay of the two colours very slightly misregistered which give the image its quality. Now I'm looking forward to some solid studio time so I can apply some of this new knowledge to my own work.

Q: Pandas - map values from one column into a new column I have a dataframe with all individual team matchups, where some matches are repeated, like so:
team        adversary     xG
Liverpool   City          1.80
...
City        Liverpool     1.21
...

How do I keep track of both xG values for all team-adversary pairs, ending up with:
team        adversary     xG_team    xG_adversary
Liverpool   City          1.80       1.21
...
City        Liverpool     1.21       1.80
...

A: You can do a self-merge. I think the most straightforward way is to set_index on the righthand df:
df.merge(
    df.set_index(['adversary', 'team']),
    left_on=['team', 'adversary'],
    right_index=True,
    suffixes=('_team', '_adversary'),
    how='left')

Result:
        team  adversary  xG_team  xG_adversary
0  Liverpool       City     1.80          1.21
1       City  Liverpool     1.21          1.80
