With so much focus on the elevated level of demand for property and how the number of buyers significantly outstrips the number of sellers in the market, you would think that selling your home is easy. Of course, anyone who has ever attempted to sell their home will tell you that this is not the case. Selling your home is difficult. It can be challenging to make sure that your home is seen by prospective buyers and this is where you need to use tactics that will ensure your home is of interest and remembered by prospective buyers. It is imperative that homeowners use every advantage that they can, and smart gadgets help sell property.
At Link Up, we have helped many people sell their property and one of the most important parts of the process is standing out from the crowd. With so many properties to review, prospective buyers will look through properties quickly and if there isn't a reason for them to stop and consider yours, they won't. Having smart devices in your property stands your home out from the crowd, and if you have people's attention, you can start to persuade them that your home is the ideal option for them.
Do you know who the most likely buyer of your home is and what gadgets they would be most interested in?
Do you know what the market leader or authority brand in the chosen gadget field is?
Do you know what features and benefits the smart device offers to buyers?
If you can answer all these questions, you have a fantastic starting point in using smart devices to appeal to buyers. Some devices like an entertainment system may be best used in a property appreciated by young professionals but you'll find that a central heating system will appeal to all prospective buyers.
There are many central heating systems to choose from, but the Nest heating system is well-known and well-regarded. If a prospective buyer has considered heating systems, there is a good chance that they will be familiar with the Nest name. This should put them at ease with the gadget, making them feel more confident that this device will offer them value in the home.
Of course, it is often the features and benefits that appeal most to the buyer. There is a lot to be said for having full control of the heating at your home and being able to control the temperature of your home from your phone, even when you are outside of you home. However, if you are looking to sell your home, sell the benefits of your home and the right smart device offers great benefits.
As an example, studies indicate that Nest heating systems can help property owners lower their heating bills by 10% to 15%. Most people believe that they are paying too much on their energy bills, so being able to save money each month and year is hugely appealing to most prospective buyers. Purchasing a home with this system in place provides a way to save money each year, and this could be the factor that ensures your home stands out from other properties available on the market.
Given the competitive nature of the market, it is important to differentiate your home in a positive manner. At Link Up, we believe smart gadgets are a fantastic addition and these devices can help you sell your home in an efficient and effective manner.

Archiproducts Design Awards 2020 Open for Entries!
The Awards that celebrate the excellence in international Design are back
The Archiproducts Design Awards are back to once again set the benchmark for prime quality and innovation in the world of design.
Initiated in 2016, the contest is now in its fifth year and has already become a constant that vouches for creativity and innovation by encouraging new collaborations and generating synergies between designers and brands.
This year's edition is special, not least because many brands and manufacturers worldwide are still struggling to come to terms with restrictions necessitated by a pandemic rather unimaginable only months ago. However, motivation is high and everybody is doing their best with the possibilities, contributing new projects and designs, maintaining production and keeping up communication. In that respect the new edition is marked by even greater enthusiasm and meant to encourage and support work that required additional strength, ingenuity and sacrifices.
The call for entries 2020 is officially open!
Last year's edition saw over 700 products by 400 brands from all round the world. 100 were awarded for their originality, as well as for quality and aesthetic of the project, by a heterogeneous and multidisciplinary jury composed of architects, designers, journalists, photographers and creative directors from various countries.
For the 2020 edition already 60 jurors have accepted our invitation. Among these we are proud to mention Studio Libeskind, UNStudio, Matthew McCormick, Marcio Kogan, Piero Lissoni, Mecanoo, Quincoces Drago, Diego Grandi, as well as Rossana Orlandi, studiopepe, Fabio Fantolino and Edoardo Tresoldi. As first-time jury members we welcome Zaha Hadid Architects principal Patrik Schumacher, Formafantasma's Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin, Giovanna Castiglioni, Vice President and General Secretary of the Achille Castiglioni Foundation, DIMORESTUDIO's Emiliano Salci and Britt Moran, graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister from NYC, Hana Hakimo for Stella Collective from Australia, and the photographer Omar Sartor. Our multifaceted international panel covers complementary fields of expertise in architecture, design, fashion, art and communication.
Also this year the award trophy, designed by Spanish studio MUT Design, will wear the distinctive mark of De Castelli's unique metal oxidation and layering process. Once again the brand from Treviso will be official partner of the Archiproducts Design Awards and responsible for manufacturing the sculptural object inspired by the shape of the Mobius strip that represents the underlying idea of the ADA.
This year De Castelli's oxidized metal is paired with the natural stone by ADA first time partner Salvatori, who contributes a new price trophy that, from this edition on, will be handed exclusively to the designers of the winning products. Entrusted with drafting this trophy was one of the most renowned names in international design, Michael Anastassiades. His distinctive traits and Salvatori's natural stone make the perfect attire for an object destined to become the new symbol of the Archiproducts Design Awards.
Samsung Climate Solutions is confirmed as the main partner of the Archiproducts Design Awards. This collaboration started with the 2019 edition and will continue this year to support design, technology and innovation.
Also to be continued is the collaboration with Essent'ial, the Italian brand that stands for environmental sustainability and has contributed to last year's edition with the ADA Night Party bags, by now a must-have object for design addicts!
Applications for the ADA 2020 are open now!
Brands can submit 1-5 products pertaining to various categories, from furniture to lighting, from contract to construction.
The deadline for participation is set for September 14, 2020. A long-list with the finalist competing for the ADA 2020 will be published in October. Winners will be announced in the first week of November.

Solutions government...
Solutions government would knight Owen
TRE GREAVES, tregreaves@nationnews.com
Head of Solutions Barbados Grenville Phillips II makes a plea to voters about why they are the right choice for the country. Behind him are the party's other 27 candidates who supported him at Queen's Park yesterday. (Picture by Reco Moore.)
The knighting Of Former Prime Minister of Barbados Owen Arthur is a sure thing under a Solutions Barbados government.
Leader of the party Grenville Phillips II made this promise on Tuesday night at Queens Park during the formal announcement of his party's 28 candidates.
In a passionate plea to Barbadians ahead of Thursday's General election, Phillips said much like all of the other Prime Ministers, Arthur must be celebrated for the good things he did.
He also thanked members of the Barbados Labour Party and the Democratic Labour Party who served the country over the years, but he said it was time to usher them into retirement.
During his speech he also promised that within the first year of a Solutions Barbados government, there would be a billion-dollar surplus.
Phillips, an engineer, said this could be accomplished by decreasing debt, cutting wastage, eliminating corruption and depoliticising the civil service.
Because the Solutions Barbados members are not lawyers, doctors or career politicians but rather, people with 20 years' management experience, they were better suited to manage the country's finances, he said.
"They have no experience in getting Barbados in debt... they have experience in building their companies. So the economy will not be a guinea pig for them, he said. (TG)

East London Advertiser > News > Crime
Fears for Queen Mary University law student Domen Simonic missing in Slovenia
Queen Mary law student Domen Simonic... missing in Slovenia - Credit: Simoric family
Fears have been raised for the safety of a university student studying law in east London who has vanished during a visit to his home in Slovenia. Police suspect "an act of crime" involving 20-year-old Domen Simonic's disappearance, according to friends.
Now fellow students at Queen Mary University at Mile End are running a fundraising campaign to pay for a search to find Domen, who is an active volunteer organising free legal advice sessions in London's East End.
He disappeared off the street in Maribor, some 70km from his home town of Celje, east of the Slovene capital Ljubljana, the a day after he arrived on February 21—and was last seen talking to strangers outside a Maribor nightclub.
"The police are searching for him, but there seems to be no lead," fellow law student Nadia Hafedh told the East London Advertiser today.
"They are treating it as 'an act of crime', not just a missing person, and think he may have been harmed by a third party.
"We're all devastated and worried about him and want him found soon."
Domen, a member of Queen Mary's School of Law where he organises a network for east London lawyers as part of its pro bono free legal advice project, was visiting his father Ervin and went out that evening with friends—then vanished outside the club.
"No-one knows what happened to him," Nadia added. "There was no reason why he would have left. He had a concert that evening at the club."
Students today held the second of two fundraising collections at the Mile End campus which have so far brought in nearly £1,400 with donations to the Go Fund Me crowdfunding website.
Domen first arrived in London in September, 2014, to study law at Queen Mary's and has been living in Bethnal Green sharing a rented flat with fellow students, volunteering to organise legal advice sessions for families in need as part of his studies.

Israel open to German efforts to expand Iran nuclear deal with more restrictions
Ambassador Issacharoff says call by Germany's foreign minister to redraw 2015 pact so it limits ballistic missiles and Tehran's regional interference is 'step in right direction'
By Deborah Cole	24 December 2020, 7:47 am 1 Edit

BERLIN, Germnay (AFP) — Israel welcomes a German push to expand the Iran nuclear deal into a broader security agreement once Joe Biden moves into the White House next month, its ambassador to Berlin told AFP.
Jeremy Issacharoff, the nation's envoy in Germany since 2017, said a recent call by German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas to reassess the 2015 nuclear accord with a new US administration was a "step in the right direction."
The 2015 nuclear deal — known formally as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA — gave Iran relief from sanctions in return for curbs on its nuclear program.
Maas told Der Spiegel magazine this month that the existing agreement, under massive pressure after repeated Iranian violations and Donald Trump's unilateral withdrawal in 2018, needed an overhaul.
The "nuclear agreement plus" envisaged by Maas would bar the development of nuclear weapons as well as place restrictions on Tehran's ballistic rocket program and interference in countries around the region.

Biden has signaled that Washington could rejoin the deal as a starting point for follow-on negotiations if Iran returned to compliance.
But Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has rejected talk of reopening the accord struck five years ago after marathon talks involving the United States, Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia.
'Triangular' partnership
Issacharoff said the so-called 5+1 partners needed to take Iran's "destabilizing involvement" in countries including Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and Iraq into account in any further negotiations with Tehran.
"I think people need to realize that you can't just turn the clock back to 2015," he said.
"There's been a production of missiles and testing of missiles and these issues need to be addressed as well as the wholesale violations that Iran has carried out against the whole JCPOA agreement."
Issacharoff said he welcomed more active involvement of Germany in Middle East diplomacy and the now robust "strategic partnership" that had developed in the 70 years since the Holocaust.
Anticipating a vast improvement in "tone" between Germany and the US with Biden at the helm, he said Israel would like to see more of "a triangular type of strategic partnership" with the two countries on Middle East security issues "which I think would be very good for all sides."
'The most important partnership'
He said it was Germany's firm commitment to atone for Nazi atrocities that had allowed relations with Israel to flourish since the countries officially established diplomatic relations in 1965.

Issacharoff highlighted "moving" visits by German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier to both the Holocaust memorial Yad Vashem in Jerusalem and Auschwitz this year and joint military exercises in August between Israeli and German fighter pilots.
"From defense issues to culture, people-to-people engagements, economy, cyber, intelligence — I can only see this as a partnership which is evolving and becoming one of, I'd say probably the most important partnership for Israel clearly in Europe but even in global terms."
Issacharoff said that as ties between Israel and four Arab nations — Morocco, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Sudan — normalize in deals brokered by Donald Trump's administration, Germany had played a constructive role as well.
Noting that Maas had hosted the first meeting between his Israeli and Emirati counterparts in October, Issacharoff called it "a very important step for Germany and a very important sign of its commitment to the process."

He credited Maas and in particular Chancellor Angela Merkel, who plans to retire from politics next year after 16 years in power, with fostering deep and trusting relations with Israel despite their painful shared history.
"It's important to recognize her incredible contribution to the strength of the relationship," he said, hoping the commitment would "persist in German foreign policy."
"I am very encouraged and very inspired by how far two countries can go after such a difficult period of time and become so close."

The Bezos Dick Pic Hacking Affair Just Got a Whole Lot Messier for Trump Allies
It could raise tricky questions at heart of the 2016 campaign's hush money scandal.
Deputy EditorBio | Follow
Pablo Martinez Monsivais/AP
The Jeff Bezos Sexting Saga just took another wild turn. On Wednesday, the United Nations called for an "immediate investigation" of the alleged hacking of Bezos's iPhone, citing forensic evidence showing that a WhatsApp account linked to the Saudi crown prince himself, Mohammad Bin Salman, infected the billionaire's phone while the two were chatting in May 2018. The vehicle for the hacking was alleged to be a video file that allowed the Saudis to suck up reams of Bezos's personal data, according to The Guardian, which first reported the story on Tuesday. The implications of the hacking claims are not limited to Bezos's cybersecurity. They potentially pose tough questions for the Trump-allied proprietor of American Media Inc., which until recently owned the National Enquirer, itself at the heart of the Trump campaign's hush money imbroglio.
Team Bezos has long claimed that MBS has it out for the Amazon chief, who also owns the Washington Post. The paper's relentless coverage of the grisly death of its columnist, Jamal Khashoggi, allegedly enraged the Saudi leader, who was implicated in ordering Khashoggi's murder. That's where the so-called dick pics come in. Almost a year ago, Bezos accused the National Enquirer and AMI of trying to extort him over compromising photos he allegedly exchanged with his girlfriend, and he published email exchanges on Medium to prove it. Gavin de Becker, a veteran private investigator for Bezos, soon made a related and more incendiary charge: Saudi Arabia had swiped "private information" from the billionaire's phone and was "in league" with the Enquirer to bring down Bezos by threatening to publish the photos. AMI has insisted that its sole source for information about Bezos's relationship with Lauren Sanchez was her brother Michael Sanchez. He has denied trading the selfies. (Sanchez declined to comment for this article. Gavin De Becker also did not respond to requests for comment.)
Now, UN special investigators Agnès Callamard and David Kaye, are lending their credibility to the intel, which was conducted by a team hired by Bezos, according to the Financial Times. "The information we have received suggests the possible involvement of the crown prince in surveillance of Mr. Bezos, in an effort to influence, if not silence, the Washington Post's reporting on Saudi Arabia," the joint statement read, according to the Guardian. "The allegations reinforce other reporting pointing to a pattern of targeted surveillance of perceived opponents and those of broader strategic importance to the Saudi authorities, including nationals and non-nationals."
Saudi Arabia "was clandestinely waging a massive online campaign against Mr. Bezos," the experts said. The Saudi embassy in Washington labeled the allegations "absurd." The Financial Times, which saw the forensic report, notes that "it does not claim to have conclusive evidence and its findings could not be independently confirmed."
So where does this leave the allegation that the National Enquirer was "in league" with the Saudis? As I reported in August last year, any federal investigation could complicate a deal crafted to protect the Trump-allied owner of AMI, David Pecker, in his company's 2016 campaign finance scandal. I reported that during the early months of 2019:
…federal investigators began requesting corporate documents and questioning staff at American Media Inc., the company run by Donald Trump's longtime friend David Pecker, about a special issue of the National Enquirer it produced that lavished praise on Saudi Arabia and its controversial leader, Mohammed bin Salman, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the investigation. Gathering evidence through at least June and working at the direction of prosecutors from the Southern District of New York, FBI agents zeroed in on the circumstances behind the magazine's publication and, according to one of the sources, whether AMI had engaged in illegal influence peddling on behalf of a foreign power.
The Saudi influence probe could have profound implications for AMI, according to former federal prosecutors, because it threatens to undo a deal the company struck last year with the Justice Department over its role in the hush-money case that resulted in campaign finance charges against Donald Trump's former lawyer and fixer, Michael Cohen, who is serving three years in prison for that and other crimes. AMI agreed to cooperate fully with investigators and in return received immunity from prosecution. Yet that deal could be tossed out if AMI was suspected of engaging in other wrongdoing… Former federal prosecutors say that if investigators are scrutinizing AMI for possible FARA violations, extortion, or other crimes, the company should be worried that its non-prosecution deal for the hush-money payment is in serious jeopardy.
Both SDNY and AMI did not respond to new questions from Mother Jones today about whether or not the probe was ongoing, or if the UN's call to investigate Saudi hacking could affect their plans. For the dizzying story of how AMI came under scrutiny by the feds as a possible agent of Saudi Arabia, featuring a cast of characters that includes the world's richest man, a Saudi leader who has forged deep ties to the Trump administration, and an embattled media baron with a reputation for using his flagship tabloid to protect his allies and punish his enemies, click here.

Se conoce como Los cinco de Cambridge o Círculo de Cambridge a un grupo  de espías británicos reclutados por la Unión Soviética en el Trinity College de la Universidad de Cambridge (Inglaterra) y que pasaron información durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y hasta principios de la década de los 50 del siglo XX. Sus miembros fueron Kim Philby (nombre en clave: "Stanley"), Donald Maclean ("Homer"), Guy Burgess ("Hicks") y Anthony Blunt ("Tony" y "Johnson") e, hipotéticamente, John Cairncross ("Liszt"), quien nunca reconoció haber pertenecido a este grupo de espías. Se infiltraron en la sociedad británica como «topos», en la jerga de los servicios secretos.

Historia

Fueron reclutados por el NKVD, futuro KGB, durante los años treinta del siglo XX en la sociedad secreta de los Apóstoles de la Universidad de Cambridge. El entusiasmo por cualquier actividad antifascista hizo a muchos jóvenes entrar entonces en el Partido Comunista, pero otros optaron por trabajar menos al descubierto, y los soviéticos formaron con ellos una red de agentes en las facultades de las universidades del Trinity College (Cambridge) y del King's College, Cambridge. Algunos otros, también de la Sociedad de los Apóstoles, fueron acusados de espiar para los soviéticos además de esos cinco: Michael Whitney Straight, Nathaniel Rothschild, Lewis Daly y Guy Liddell. Durante mucho tiempo no se supo quién era el quinto espía, y se discutió mucho sobre quién pudo ser, acusándose a Sir Roger Hollis (1905-1973) e incluso al filósofo Ludwig Wittgenstein, pero al fin se averiguó que fue Cairncross. El grupo se infiltró en el MI5, el MI6, el Foreign Office y el Ministerio de la Guerra, y secretos de Estado fueron llegando a Moscú, también desde la Embajada en Washington, donde trabajaron varios de ellos. Kim Philby murió en Moscú en 1988, 25 años después que Burgess y cinco más tarde que Maclean. El historiador de arte Anthony Blunt falleció en el Reino Unido en 1983. John Cairncross fue el último en morir, en 1995.

Entre 1944 y 1955 el coronel de la KGB Yuri Modin (:en:Yuri Modin) controló la información facilitada a la URSS por los cinco de Cambridge, sobre la que luego escribió un libro. Su trabajo ha inspirado numerosas novelas, películas y series de televisión de espionaje; entre las novelas, El tercer hombre y El factor humano de Graham Greene, amigo personal de Philby, o El topo (Tinker, tailor, soldier, spy) y Un espía perfecto de John le Carré, por ejemplo, o, sobre la vida de Anthony Blunt, El intocable, de John Banville, y entre las piezas teatrales, Another Country, del dramaturgo inglés Julian Mitchell, inspirada en Guy Burgess, que fue llevada al cine por Marek Kanievska en 1984.

Se ha especulado sobre la posibilidad de que Ludwig Wittgenstein hubiera reclutado agentes para la Unión Soviética en Cambridge, según la teoría de Kimberley Cornish en su libro The Jew of Linz (1998). Sus teorías sobre esto y sobre la influencia de Wittgenstein sobre Hitler son poco aceptadas.

Miembros

 Kim Philby (1912-1988), "Stanley" de nombre en clave, fue enviado al bando nacional durante la Guerra Civil Española bajo la tapadera de periodista por libre. Se sospechó de él por su amistad con Burgess, pero salió airoso de los interrogatorios y desertó a la URSS en 1963. Fue el infiltrado o "topo" más eficaz, pese a que Stalin creía que era un triple agente. Mientras espiaba decididamente para los soviéticos, ascendía en el escalafón del MI6 y, paradójicamente, llegó a ser jefe del servicio de contraespionaje frente a los soviéticos. En 1949 fue destinado a Washington con un puesto extraordinario: enlace entre el espionaje inglés y la CIA. Desde allí informó a los soviéticos de un plan en curso para el envío de combatientes anticomunistas a Albania.

 Guy Burgess (1911-1963), conocido como «Hicks» en clave, se infiltró en el MI5 (el servicio de inteligencia británico dedicado a la seguridad nacional) y transmitió a los soviéticos documentos secretos de la estrategia militar occidental. Era el más inteligente de todos, el más culto e intelectual. Huyó a la URSS junto a Maclean en 1951, aunque no estaba bajo sospecha.

 Donald Maclean (1913-1983), "Homer" como nombre en clave y diplomático, estaba a punto de ser interrogado tras visitar repetidamente la embajada soviética en Nueva York. Sin embargo, le alertó una llamada misteriosa, y escapó junto a Burgess. Se cree que sus servicios contribuyeron al bloqueo de Berlín. La KGB lo condecoró.

 Anthony Blunt (1907-1983), "Johnson" en clave, era un historiador del arte, responsable durante decenios de la pinacoteca real, primero durante el reinado de Jorge VI y luego durante el de Isabel II. Fue denunciado en 1964, pero evitó la cárcel a cambio de su colaboración con los servicios de espionaje, que le concedieron inmunidad. Aunque la reina fue informada, no lo fue el primer ministro de la época, sir Alec Douglas-Home. En 1979, sin embargo, Margaret Thatcher, primera ministra, denunció ese encubrimiento y se hizo pública su desafección. Se publicaron sus memorias varios años después de su muerte. Reclutó al estadounidense Michael Straight, el hombre que acabaría denunciándolo a él mismo en 1964.

 John Cairncross (1913-1995); su identidad no trascendió hasta 1990. Un desertor soviético del KGB lo delató y confesó en 1951; su declaración se mantuvo en secreto e incluso se le permitió exiliarse; nunca reconoció públicamente ser el quinto hombre.

Hirabayashi v. United States, 320 U.S. 81 (1943), was a case in which the United States Supreme Court held that the application of curfews against members of a minority group were constitutional when the nation was at war with the country from which that group's ancestors originated. The case arose out of the issuance of Executive Order 9066 following the attack on Pearl Harbor and the U.S. entry into World War II. President Franklin D. Roosevelt had authorized military commanders to secure areas from which "any or all persons may be excluded", and Japanese Americans living in the West Coast were subject to a curfew and other restrictions before being removed to internment camps. The plaintiff, Gordon Hirabayashi, was convicted of violating the curfew and had appealed to the Supreme Court. Yasui v. United States was a companion case decided the same day. Both convictions were overturned in coram nobis proceedings in the 1980s.

Background
After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, American public opinion initially stood by the large population of Japanese Americans living on the West Coast or at least did not openly question their loyalty to the United States. Six weeks later, however, public opinion had turned against Japanese Americans, as the press and other Americans became nervous about the potential for fifth column activity. Though the administration (including President Roosevelt and FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover) dismissed rumors of Japanese American espionage on behalf of the Japanese war effort, pressure mounted upon the Administration, as the tide of public opinion turned against Japanese Americans.

On February 19, 1942, Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066, authorizing Lieutenant General John L. DeWitt, as head of the Western Defense Command, to exclude certain persons from "military areas," regardless of their ancestry or country of citizenship. Over the course of several weeks, DeWitt issued several public proclamations that first imposed a curfew upon Japanese American citizens and resident "aliens" of Japanese descent. (The Issei, or first-generation immigrants, were prohibited from naturalized citizenship as members of an "unassimilable" race.)  Later orders confined Japanese Americans to Military Area No. 1, which included Seattle, where Hirabayashi lived. On May 3, 1942, DeWitt issued an order requiring Japanese Americans in the Seattle area to report to assigned assembly points for "evacuation" to isolated inland camps. (At the time, the terms "relocation centers," "internment camps," and "concentration camps" were used interchangeably.)

Case
The defendant, Gordon Hirabayashi, was a University of Washington student who was accused of violating the curfew and exclusion order, designated a misdemeanor by Public Law 503, a congressional statute introduced to enforce Executive Order 9066 and any subsequent military orders. Hirabayashi turned himself in for disobeying the curfew at the FBI's Seattle office on May 16, 1942 and announced that he planned to disobey the impending removal order.

After his arrest, he was approached by an acquaintance, liberal Washington State Senator Mary Farquharson, who suggested that he make his case a test case. She organized a support committee for Hirabayashi and served as its secretary-treasurer as the committee raised funds for his legal defense.  (This support was important in advancing the case, as the ACLU refused to support Hirabayashi.)

He was held in King County Jail for five months, until his trial on October 20. The jury deliberated for just ten minutes before it returned two guilty verdicts, one for the curfew violation and another for the exclusion order, and Hirabayashi was sentenced to consecutive 30-day jail terms. (After requesting to serve his time in an outdoor labor camp rather than prison, Judge Lloyd Black handed down two 90-day sentences, to be served concurrently at the Catalina Federal Honor Camp, outside Tucson, Arizona.)

Hirabayashi's lawyers appealed the conviction, and after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco declined to rule on the case, it eventually landed in the Supreme Court.

The Justice Department expected a legal challenge to all of the three substantive elements of Roosevelt's and DeWitt's directives to Japanese Americans: curfew, exclusion, and internment. The administration, particularly the Department of Justice and Francis Biddle, sought out test cases that it could use to establish favorable precedent and prepared itself for a case that could challenge the entire internment policy.

The Supreme Court heard both the Hirabayashi case and Yasui v. United States during the 1942–43 term. It released the opinions as companion cases on June 21, 1943 and upheld the curfew order in both cases. (Although Hirabayashi had been convicted of two violations, the two sentences had been served concurrently and so the Justices chose to consider only the curfew, not the more controversial exclusion of Japanese American citizens.) Minoru Yasui was "released" to the Minidoka concentration camp on time served, and Hirabayashi, who had been living in Spokane, Washington since he had finished his sentence at Catalina, briefly remained free before he was sent to the McNeil Island Federal Penitentiary when he refused to comply with a draft order.

Later developments
This case has been largely overshadowed by Korematsu v. United States, decided the following term, in which the Court directly addressed the constitutionality of the removal of Japanese Americans from the West Coast. But, though the Korematsu case (challenging the exclusion portion of Executive Order 9066) overshadowed the Hirabayashi case (challenging only the curfew portion of the order), the Court's opinion in Korematsu cited its Hirabayashi ruling, upholding the restrictions placed on Japanese Americans.

The Hirabayashi case is notable also in that the three dissenters in Korematsu, Justices Roberts, Jackson, and Murphy had either been persuaded by fellow justices to vote with the majority or, in the case of Murphy, to concur. An article by historian Sidney Fine published in Pacific Historical Review in May 1964, "Mr. Justice Murphy and the Hirabayashi Case", pp. 195–209, shows how that Justice's initial draft opinion was a vigorous dissent, but that he eventually yielded to the arguments of his fellow Justices and issued a concurrence – which, in Fine's view, "bore a striking resemblance to the dissenting opinion he had intended to issue."  In the Korematsu decision, Murphy's dissent was vehement, calling the majority opinion "legalization of racism."

In 1986 and 1987, Hirabayashi's convictions on both charges were overturned by the U.S. District Court in Seattle and the Federal Appeals Court, because evidence arose that the Solicitor General's office (led by Charles H. Fahy) had cited examples of Japanese American sabotage in its 1943–44 Supreme Court arguments, despite having researched and debunked all the rumored incidents. In 2011, the Acting Solicitor General officially confessed error in that regard. The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued the final decision as Hirabayashi v. United States in 1987.

In May 2012, President Obama posthumously awarded Gordon Hirabayashi the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America's highest civilian honor.

Eleven lawyers who had represented Fred Korematsu, Gordon Hirabayashi, and Minoru Yasui in successful efforts in lower federal courts to nullify their convictions for violating military curfew and exclusion orders sent a letter, dated January 13, 2014, to Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr. In light of the appeal proceedings before the U.S. Supreme in Hedges v. Obama, the lawyers asked Verrili to request the Supreme Court to overrule its 1943 decisions in Korematsu, Hirabayashi  and Yasui. If the Solicitor General shouldn't do this, they asked that the United States government "make clear" that the federal government "does not consider the internment decisions as valid precedent for governmental or military detention of individuals or groups without due process of law [...]."

In their seven years together, quarterback Johnny Unitas and coach Don Shula, kings of the fabled Baltimore Colts of the 1960s, created one of the most successful franchises in sports. Unitas and Shula had a higher winning percentage than Lombardi's Packers, but together they never won the championship. Baltimore lost the big game to the Browns in 1964 and to Joe Namath and the Jets in Super Bowl III—both in stunning upsets. The Colts' near misses in the Shula era were among the most confounding losses any sports franchise ever suffered. Rarely had a team in any league performed so well, over such an extended period, only to come up empty.
