Debate begins on abolishing stamp duties on conveyances
The Property Council of Australia's (PCA) press release on 30 March 2015 indicates that it a nation-wide debate on tax reform, including whether or not the abolition of transfer duty on conveyancing is appropriate, will be welcomed.
"Stamp duty inhibits economic activity, it acts as a drag on new construction, on job creation and housing mobility", said Ken Morrison, the chief executive of the PCA.
Mr Morrison supported the research from the government's recent 'Re:think' tax discussion paper for its critique of transfer duty. The paper stated transfer duties on conveyances are a highly volatile tax because revenue growth is directly parallel to property prices and transaction amounts, which are constantly fluctuating. The tax is therefore on transactions rather than value. As a result, transfer duties negatively impact consumers by increasing the cost of buying a house as prices often escalate over time.
Upon analysis of these factors, it was ultimately determined that stamp duties are some of the most ineffective and inefficient tax systems in Australia. With the current unadjusted progressive tax rates, the stamp duty becomes a significant burden. For example, transfer duty on the average home in Melbourne is nearly twice as much as it was 24 years ago, going from 2.67 per cent of the sale price in 1988 to 5.16 per cent in 2011.
The debate centres around what are the best alternatives or solutions to reform the current tax. Several ideas have been proposed.
The first is to replace stamp duty with another tax on property to balance any changes to asset prices as a result of tax reform. Another is to levy land tax depending on the value of the land per square metre, which is a more accurate and efficient representation of the stamp duty figures. The third is to instigate a broad-based land tax, whereby all owners of property pay an annual tax rather than at the time of purchase.
If you are currently involved in a conveyancing process, seek legal advice about how stamp duties may be affecting you.

So some of you may have noticed that Japanese cuisine is sweeping the nation. Helen particularly is interested in all things Japanese and has taken the plunge at our local favorite restaraunt Sushi 101. While she likens sashimi to eating nightcrawlers, she loves the sushi, the tempura, and of course the atmosphere.
Not so our intrepid 'I'll try anything once' boy Chris. Now this is the kid who is willing to stuff a whole lemon in his mouth, will top a nacho with seven variations of pepper sauce, and even braves himself to handle raw squid to make Calamari Ripieni. For some reason, though, he just cannot get sushi from the plate to his palate.
After much thought, Chris came up with his own variation of sushi for the American Male.
for me to list your blog. I won't out you, I swear!
Charles would know the difference…extreme sushi lover!

Many different stakeholders are involved in active IoT projects on the ground, including industry members, universities, NGOs, and tech start-ups, each contributing different strengths. The IoT is not just a story for industrialized economies or industrial applications, but is equally relevant for developing countries. The IoT and connected sensors are driving improvements to human wellbeing in healthcare, water, agriculture, natural resource management, resiliency to climate change and energy (as reflected in the UN's post-2015 sustainable development agenda).
After having been coined as a term in 1999 by Kevin Ashton, and after more than a decade of discussion and anticipation, the Internet of Things is finally emerging. This is a major development, which promises to change our way of doing things through better information in real-time and improved learning opportunities.
As early as 2005, the ITU noted that the development of the Internet of Things as a function of our hyper connected world encompassed a set of technological advances from different fields — specifically, wireless and mobile connectivity, nanotechnology, radio-frequency identification (RFID) and smart sensor technologies. Advances in these technologies, when combined, could help realize a miniaturized, embedded, automated Internet of connected devices communicating regularly and relatively effortlessly.
Today, governments, businesses, and consumers are using the IoT and Big Data to introduce new business models, to improve the delivery of services, to increase efficiency in production, and to enhance wellbeing and human welfare. As with many other technologies, vendors, implementers, operators, policy-makers and regulators aim to maximize the benefits of deployment while minimizing potential risks to security and privacy.
The ITU has defined the IoT as "a global infrastructure for the information society, enabling advanced services by interconnecting (physical and virtual) things based on existing and evolving interoperable information and communication technologies". The IoT clearly includes M2M (referring specifically to communication directly between devices, used in a vast array of applications and for a variety of purposes4), but broader definitions of IoT technologies also include ambient intelligence and smart environments.
Greater monitoring and measurement of humans, machines and things.
A shift from human-to-human communications to M2M, something-to-everything, and everything to- everything communications.
In conclusion, Internet of Things (IoT)is shaping human life with greater connectivity and ultimate functionality, and all this is happening through ubiquitous networking to the internet. This will make life easy, comfortable and more efficient with the help of mobility and cloud. The Internet of Things (IoT) will merge the physical world and the virtual world to create a highly personalized and often predictive connected experience.

"Intellectual Property Rights as a smarter way to reform education sector"
Intelligent structures are the product of a unique, new and innovative personal understanding, with a certain market value, and the construction of an individual or group. Intellectual property can be intellectual, invention, copyrighted work, quote or creative writing, copyrighted work, trademark, industrial process, story structure, medical composition, computer program, presentation, or digital magnetic origin data. While it may seem that almost anything can be taken for granted and fall into one of the aforementioned categories, it is not. Considering a recent Supreme Court decision regarding genetic predisposition and genetic sequence, their modification could significantly increase the risk of breast and cervical cancer.
Intellectual property is generally considered to be the invention of a patent or a patent, a trademark, or a copyrighted material. These patents can be considered as the crown of the university, as it provides a university vehicle for develop their different market practices and objectives and, at the same time, reap financial benefits. Although new information may be considered intellectual property and may be copyrighted, not all materials may be of university value. For example, copyright for basic biomedical tools may hinder basic research; therefore, universities may consciously choose not to disclose certain findings - such as DNA sequences that serve only as a signal - which may be basic research tools, and in doing so ensure widespread discovery in the public domain. royalty in educational research, they allow the use of this technology to be obtained at a much lower cost than that of commercial applications. In fact, when discovery is used in research compared to a commercial dam, it creates an affordable access to non-commercial research purposes.
Universities and public research institutes are among the most direct providers of innovation and research, especially in the emerging economy. Universities and public research institutes are among the most direct providers of innovation and research, especially in the emerging economy. The wealth of innovation in the economy also comes from educational institutions and research institutes. Too late, the importance of intellectual property rights (IPR) in higher education has been widely recognized. This can be incorporated into the National IPR Policy approved by the Union Cabinet in May 2016, which was the first IPR policy developed by the Government of India.
The main purpose of this Policy is to promote innovation, especially for entrepreneurs and institutions of higher learning. The Policy Policy specifically addresses the integration of all forms of IPR, the principles and organizations involved in influencing India's new arts and energy with special emphasis on initiatives and educational institutions.
The University Grants Commission (UGC), an accredited official in determining and maintaining university education standards in India, has issued an intellectual property application (IPR) letter as a general choice subject under the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS).
In addition, the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF), a standard program approved by the Department of Labor Development (MHRD), places higher education institutions in India. These positions serve as a way for institutions to engage in promoting innovation, research and development while evaluating their performance beyond academics. One of the parameters considered at the time and in our discussion is Research and Professional Practice which includes IPR and patents - both published and granted, by students and faculty members weighing approximately 15 marks. Publishing and patent applications have been found to be very high from engineering and technical institutions. The level of tertiary institutions has been found to be equal to the number of applications lodged with patents. There has been a significant increase in applications for patents and research literature compared to two years ago since the launch of this stand-off program in 2016.
Intellectual Property Rights as "threat" to education sector, academicians
Intellectual property is generally considered to be the invention of a patent or a patent, a trademark, or a copyrighted material. These patents can be regarded as a university gem, as they provide a vehicle for universities to produce its own unique market practices and objectives and, at the same time, reap financial benefits. Although new information may be considered intellectual property and may be copyrighted, not all materials may be of university value. For example, copyright for basic biomedical tools may hinder basic research; therefore, universities may conscientiously refrain from granting patents for certain findings - such as DNA sequences that serve only as a marker - which could be basic research tools, and in doing so ensure widespread public discovery. Another way universities can ensure the widespread distribution and acceptance of patented acquisitions at university expenditures is the use of low-cost licenses in academic research, allowing the use of this technology to be available at a much lower cost than commercial use. In fact, there is a breakdown of findings used in research compared to a commercial dam, which creates an affordable access point for non-commercial research purposes.

In fact, there is a breakdown of findings used in research compared to a commercial dam, which creates an affordable access point for non-commercial research purposes.
In academia, book, journal, article, research papers etc. Written communication methods in which ideas are transmitted from one person to another or from a group to another. These sources are the media for conveying ideas, educational materials, and are a means of disseminating and understanding information across all fields of study and research. They also serve as stories to explain personal situations, social problems, new discoveries, discoveries, art, jokes, tragedies etc. The only person in charge of intellectual property in these sources is known as the real owner. As a creator or landowner, you have the right to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Therefore, in almost every country laws exist to protect this intellectual content. In India, the Copyright Act gives this right to the creator of the work and usually lasts for a period of time depending on the provisions of the law that guaranteed this right. Copyright is defined as the right of a person to reproduce, publish or sell his or her original intellect, to transmit ideas / work to the public through social media or to make a new translation or to modify his or her own work and reproduce it etc. This activity covers a wide range of fields, such as writing, music, drama, art, or architecture. Copyright protection is only available for original works, whether published or not yet published. The primary purpose of copyright law is to protect the time, effort, and creativity of the creator.
Conversely, fraudulent, production, distribution or illegal use of copyrighted work. That means crime is a 'copyright infringement'. In the field of education, in the industrial sector, in the field of research, kidnapping crime has been around for decades. In the past there was no provision for criminal detection of research papers, articles, journals, thesis etc. However, these days it has happened because of technological advances. At the same time, the number of cases of personal theft is also increasing. Technology has its "positive" and "negative" effects. In this case, robberies and cheating are serious consequences and the good thing is that, strategies are available these days to find this misconduct. Many people are confused between robbery and cheating and think that both words have the same meaning; but in reality, the crime of committing a crime is copying something and then selling it for money and, cheating is copying something but not selling for financial gain. The Indian government is focusing on this sensitive issue and plans to introduce alternative provisions under anti-burglary laws, with penalties such as deregistration, warning, and fines. On the other hand, the UGC has forced all universities to use cheating, anti-crime software to test their Ph.D. thesis or report of research activities etc.
With robberies rampant these days, proper knowledge and understanding can help everyone to avoid these types of misconduct. Therefore, in this article many important points of theft are discussed, especially the focus on education. This will help the scholar to better understand theft in the fields of education and will also help them to avoid the use of counterfeit sources of information.
Definition of Piracy
Definition of piracy is given in various dictionaries in similar way. For example, Oxford dictionary explains piracy as 'the unauthorized use or reproducing another's work, Merriam Webster online dictionary defines piracy as 'the unauthorized use of another's production, invention, or conception especially in infringement of a copyright'. So, overall we can say that piracy is the act of copying others findings, ideas, work and reselling or redistributing them without permission for the purpose of making money in common. In addition to the dictionaries, regulatory bodies like UNESCO (2007) has defined piracy as 'the reproduction and distribution of copies of copyright protected material or the communication to the public and making available of such on online communication networks without the authorization of the right owner(s), where such authorization is required by law'. Piracy crimes are related to unauthorized reproduction (such as printing) and the distribution of hard copies or in a digital format for commercially protected activities.
Effect of Piracy in Educational Field
In the field of education to meet the requirements of this degree, students or researchers often use wasted educational resources. In developing countries the trade in booty books often surpasses the official market. Educational institutions are the main markets for pirates. Crime crime exists at all levels, from theology to students and all kinds of public, private, intermediate universities. Infringement activities include both illegal copying or printing.
Indian Scenario on Book Piracy
In India, a study was conducted by the Human Resource Development Ministry (HRD), which reported that there were three types of robberies, the most common in India. The first is the illegal reprint of books followed by the illegal printing of books using the name of famous authors / writers and the last is the illegal production of translated versions of books in foreign languages. The Pirates should not pay the government or the author or publisher, which makes the Pirates more confident in their daily misconduct. According to international book publishers, in Latin America and Asia, crime has become a warning to future generations. According to the Inter-American Publishers Group, worldwide an average of 50 billion pages are printed annually illegally. Technology is becoming a loophole for robbers because, illegally reprinting a book is a criminal who only needs the first copy to be copied, a scanner to scan the contents of the book, a computer with a viewer, and a press (a small rotator is enough to reprint books). With these few resources, the book can be reprinted in a short period of time.
The original literature contains a warning that "reproduction is not allowed!" The robbers surprisingly shocked this part of the first book again. Due to the rapid advancement of technology and its use in bookbinding, it is difficult to reproduce books, such as the original, it is difficult to distinguish between the original and the plundered even though it is difficult for the publisher and author to identify their work. this cover, even the bar code as well, is different from the rest of the original book. There are many different types of robberies but unauthorized reproduction by copying or reprinting is the main threat to publishers. The robbers republished the book and sold it at a lower price than the original, which was the first ploy to attract readers and book buyers. The Pirates offer unfair competition in real books on the market. A few decades ago, the identification of a counterfeit book was very easy due to its poor quality, but nowadays it has become difficult to distinguish between real and fraud due to the development of book publishing technology. The looted books look exactly the same as the original and these looted versions are sold through small book tables, small retailers, who may not be interested in copyright law or have no knowledge of this type of misconduct. Book hijacking is a big business on a large scale in poor and developing countries, where profits from convicted species are greater than from the original book. The process of obtaining copies is known as reprography and this process is very common in almost every institution in our country.
Due to this rewrite the publishers are unable to meet the purpose of the sale. Sometimes this misconduct is done knowingly, and sometimes unknowingly. Selling and buying convicted books is a crime in our country under Section 63 of the Copyright Act, 1957. In developing countries, the rate of crime increases rapidly because a large number of students in developing countries come from poor financial families and are able to buy their education books. In India expensive books such as medical books are especially well-known because such books are usually written by foreign authors and are not usually available in all parts of our country. The main cause of copyright infringement in the case of books is the high prices of books and the poor economic life of our country's readers.
The book industry is affected by the activities of thieves. The implication is that the book industry in the world will be facing a gradual destruction if the activities of pirates are not banned. Failure to pay taxes to the government by the robbers means that the government has lost more money and will continue to lose a lot of money if the activities of these criminals do not end. There will be a shortage of good writers every day if their work does not give them financial benefits. However, eliminating crime in our communities altogether is not an easy task. We cannot rely solely on the law on crime, nor do we need to act on it. We have to say no to unscrupulous forms of information to support the true wisdom of men. On the other hand, publishers should also reduce their prices without damaging their business and the Publisher should provide sample copies to the authors. In this way we can reduce crime at least in the education system.

From Woodstock To Boston Calling: How Music Festivals Evolved Since The Psychedelic '60s06:16

The crowds at Woodstock in Bethel, New York, in 1969. (AP)
Music festival season is officially here, with bands and swarms of fans descending on fields and fair grounds across the U.S. This weekend it's Boston Calling's turn to entertain the masses in its 10th edition.
This summer also marks the 50th anniversary of what's been called the mother of American pop and rock music festivals: Woodstock. That got us thinking about how festivals have evolved since that dairy farm in Bethel, New York became the stuff of legend.
About half-a-million like-minded hippies converged at Woodstock in 1969 to see more than 30 musical acts, including Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young and Richie Havens.
That rainy weekend still looms large in Michael Lang's mind. He partnered in creating the now mythic music event.
"For us, it was more of a sociological experiment than just a music festival," Lang recalled when I spoke to him at the "Woodstock 50: Then and Now" symposium at Berklee College of Music.
"And it wasn't just about music, it was about all the arts and it was about the counterculture and all our values," he continued. "That's why it was called 'Three Days of Peace and Music' and that's what happened — only on steroids. You know it was much bigger than planned, but it manifested in the kind of result that I was hoping it would."
Even with its miles of stuck traffic, lack of amenities and over-abundance of mud, Berklee professor Jeff Dorenfeld said Woodstock laid a blueprint for massive music gatherings that followed.

While the Monterey Pop Festival and Human Be-In happened in the winter and summer of '67, respectively (Dorenfeld went to the latter), he suspects if you asked folks to name the first festival, "90% would say Woodstock. That's the one. That's the festival that started everything."
Dorenfeld is founder of the Berklee Popular Music Institute and has been going to all kinds of music festivals since the psychedelic '60s, including one that no one would ever want to repeat.
"Altamont was after Woodstock. The Rolling Stones wanted to do a free show on the West Coast," he said, recalling how 400,000 people descended on a rundown speedway in northern California. The Hells Angels ran security which led to fights and a fatal stabbing.

Altamont marked a turning point for festivals. "From there obviously promoters started to realize that they needed more security, more controls, you know, to produce better festivals," he said.
In his past life Dorenfeld worked with Ozzy, Sammy Hagar and the band Boston. He still goes to a lot of music festivals these days — at least six this summer and early fall, including Governor's Ball, Essence, Country LakeShake, Lollapalooza, Music Midtown and Osheaga — with Berklee musicians and his artist management students.
They're learning the rigors of touring with Berklee bands on something like a festival "boot camp."
The music industry veteran draws a line between contemporary festivals and versions from decades past.
In the '70s, Dorenfeld said promoters staged huge stadium shows with multiple acts for upwards of 80,000 fans. They were a form of festival, but unlike today, tickets where cheap.
Jump to the '80s and you saw huge, charity benefits like Live Aid. At the Philadelphia iteration at JFK stadium, Joan Baez greeted the crowd with, "Good morning children of the '80s, this is your Woodstock, and it's long overdue..."
As the music industry shifted to CDs and the internet was born, playing live would become an increasingly important source of revenue for artists in the '90s. Dorenfeld points to the H.O.R.D.E. tour (short for Horizons of Rock Developing Everywhere) started by the band Blues Traveler.
"Lilith Fair, Lollapalooza, Warped Tour," he went on, "all those were happening."
Jane's Addiction singer Perry Farrell took his multi-act, alternative rock festival Lollapalooza on the road between 1991 and '97. That roving musical carnival would ultimately redefine itself in Chicago's Grant Park after another fest-olution turning point. In 1999 Dorenfeld said two guys who did punk shows in LA had an idea that would change the festival landscape.
"Coachella came about by the promoters taking a chance on doing a festival in the desert, and realizing a destination festival people would go to," he remembered. Coachella helped usher in the current era of elaborate, lifestyle festivals that are owned by a handful of big conglomerates. AEG and Live Nation being the big two.
"There's been a consolidation across the industry over the last five to 10 years or so," Brian Appel, co-founder of Boston Calling said. He knows this first hand. Boston Calling started as an independent festival on City Hall Plaza. When Appel's group wanted to relocate and expand the fest a few years back, the Madison Square Garden Company purchased controlling interest.
"There are not a lot of like purely independently owned festivals that are out there because it's a business model that, you know, changes year after year," he explained, "and it's good if you've got a big partner company with you to help during lean times and to be there for you during good times."
With that support, Appel says his team can make Boston Calling a three-day, multi-genre experience.

And that's what a lot of festival-goers have come to expect, according to Dorenfeld.
"It is all about lifestyle, it's the food, it's the show, it's the grounds how they do it," he said.
It's also the multiple stages, comedy acts, podcasts, craft beer, VIP seating, Wi-Fi and expensive headliners (like Beyonce!) who often make millions for a single appearance.
"The ticket prices are going to have to reflect that," Dorenfeld said. "Everyone wants to go see the headliners."
With well more than 100 festivals of all sizes and genres in the U.S. — from ginormous to boutique to artist-curated — it's a highly competitive, high-stakes model. So much so, it's unclear if Woodstock 50 will even happen. The golden anniversary festival long-planned for August is in question after its financial backers pulled out this month, leaving organizers embroiled in legal strife. But the founders are keeping the faith they'll still be able to evoke the spirit of peace and love they created back in 1969.

[Men's group stage] Match report of round 3 of group D: BIT won the group with three consecutive victories
ijjnews.com, November 5 – The men's group stage KELME 2018 AUSF Football Cup came to the end on the evening of November 4. In the last round, Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) beat Bangkok Thonburi University (BTU) from Thailand, getting through the group as the winner with three consecutive wins. The women's group stage will also enter the final round today.
Last night, BIT met with BTU at Jinjiang Sports Center. Both teams won their first two matches, so this match would decide the first place of Group D.
After the match started, it became very intense soon. Fast pace between defense and attack made the spectators very satisfied. BTU showed strong individual abilities in their attack, but defenders of BIT stopped their attacks with imposing tackles. In the 25th minute, BIT won a set piece. Their captain Li Sichen's pass was blocked by the defender, but No.9 Huang Yi won the ball again and scored a critical goal for his team with a powerful shot. In the 45th minute, BIT won another set piece, through which No.4 Guo Mengyuan headed it home to double their lead. At half-time, BIT 2, BTU 0.
In the second half, BTU mounted some counter attacks, and showed their skills in long shots. In the 57th minute, in a chaos near the penalty box of BIT, BTU tried a long-rang effort, which beat BIT's goalkeeper and narrowed the deficit. In the remaining time, the match became an intense seesaw battle. Both sides spent a lot of time fighting for the ball in the midfield, and created few effective attempts on goal. In the end of the match, BTU tried several shots on BIT's goal, but none of them could break through the strong defense of BIT's keeper Wang Wei. After the final whistle, BIT defeated BTU with the score 2:1, becoming the winner of the group. In the next round, they will play against the runner-up of Group C, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) from Malaysia.
After the match, BIT's coach Yu Fei said that his players delivered a perfect performance on the pitch and realized the goal of getting through the group, and next they would spare no efforts to prepare for the quarter finals. At the same time, Yu also thanked the fans of Jinjiang for cheering for BIT, "Their support gives us more power."

NEOCLASSICAL PHYSICS AND QUANTUM GRAVITY
Written by J Mark Morris June 15, 2019 January 17, 2020
Fresh Thinking on Entropy
There are many previously unsolved problems in physics which are or will be solved using the Neoclassical Physics and Quantum Gravity model. In this post I'll discuss Entropy.
For NPQG basics see: Idealized Neoclassical Model and the NPQG Glossary.
Let's start with some background information before we turn to the unsolved problem related to entropy.
WHAT IS ENTROPY?
In statistical mechanics, entropy is an extensive property of a thermodynamic system. It is closely related to the number Ω of microscopic configurations (known as microstates) that are consistent with the macroscopic quantities that characterize the system (such as its volume, pressure and temperature). Under the assumption that each microstate is equally probable, the entropy S is the natural logarithm of the number of microstates, multiplied by the Boltzmann constant.
Entropy, the measure of a system's thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work.
BRITTANICA
THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS
The second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy of an isolated system can never decrease over time. The total entropy of a system and its surroundings can remain constant in ideal cases where the system is in thermodynamic equilibrium, or is undergoing a (fictive) reversible process. In all processes that occur, including spontaneous processes, the total entropy of the system and its surroundings increases and the process is irreversible in the thermodynamic sense. The increase in entropy accounts for the irreversibility of natural processes, and the asymmetry between future and past.
We can express the second law from the perspective of the universe for any process with a change in entropy S, such that .
"The law that entropy always increases holds, I think, the supreme position among the laws of Nature. If someone points out to you that your pet theory of the universe is in disagreement with Maxwell's equations — then so much the worse for Maxwell's equations. If it is found to be contradicted by observation — well, these experimentalists do bungle things sometimes. But if your theory is found to be against the second law of thermodynamics I can give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation."
Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington
THE ENTROPY PROBLEM
With that background, here is an unsolved problem in physics:
Arrow of time (e.g. entropy's arrow of time): Why does time have a direction? Why did the universe have such low entropy in the past, and time correlates with the universal (but not local) increase in entropy, from the past and to the future, according to the second law of thermodynamics?
ENTROPY IN NPQG
The International System (SI) of units of entropy are joules per kelvin, which is energy divided by temperature. The energy of a particle is directly related to its temperature. We also know that particles and energy are both conserved. When we talk about a collection of particles, if said collection is not in equilibrium, then at least one subset of particles has higher energy and temperature than another subset, which has lower energy and temperature. We also know that if we concentrate a set of particles in a volume, then the superfluid temperature will also rise in that volume.
It seems to me that we can tighten the second law of thermodynamics to say that the total entropy of any process or reaction remains constant when considering all particles. If entropy increases in a portion of the universe, then the remainder of the universe must experience a decrease in entropy. Specifically, any change in entropy in one group of particles is balanced by the equal and opposite change in another group of particles. All such particles involved in the conservation of entropy are a part of the reaction. Therefore, we can refine the 2nd Law of thermodynamics and change the equation to an equality. The reason we are able to tighten the 2nd law is that general relativity and quantum mechanics (GR-QM) era scientists understood neither the superfluid nor black hole dynamics.
Note: The superfluid gas is lightly interacting. We don't feel the 2.7 K temperature of the superfluid in the Earth's atmosphere. Presumably this is because there is far more energy in the molecules of the atmosphere that dominate. However, if we were exposed to superfluid in outer space that we would feel it and our bodies would quickly shed energy via radiation of photons.
GRAVITY, BLACK HOLES, AND ENTROPY IN NPQG
Gravity reduces the entropy of matter-energy and increases the entropy of superfluid. It brings together matter-energy and concentrates the heat, compacts it, transduces it, removes degrees of freedom, and crushes it by many orders of magnitude all the way down to Planck particles. The more concentrated the matter, the more mass energy the free matter must average outstanding in the superfluid.
In the theory of general relativity, the equivalence principle is the equivalence of gravitational and inertial mass, and Albert Einstein's observation that the gravitational "force" as experienced locally while standing on a massive body (such as the Earth) is the same as the pseudo-force experienced by an observer in a non-inertial (accelerated) frame of reference.
Thermodynamic work must be done against the superfluid to accelerate a particle, and per the equivalence principle this applies to a particle being acted upon by gravity as well. Planck particles may occur in the core of a supermassive black hole (SMBH), and possibly in other high energy objects or as a result of high energy events (e.g., BH-BH mergers, BH, BH-NS mergers?, NS?). BH = black hole. NS = neutron star.
Thermodynamic work must be done against the superfluid to accelerate a particle, and per the equivalence principle this applies to a particle being acted upon by gravity as well
Planck particle phase has the lowest possible entropy, zero, and the highest possible energy density, the Planck energy density. Per the Britannica definition of entropy, Planck particles have zero energy unavailable for performing useful work. Or rather, 100% of the energy of Planck phase particles is available for useful work.
I imagine in-core Planck particles in a solid form, arranged in the densest packing possible. Perhaps face centered cubic (FCC) packing. Planck particles in a supermassive black hole (SMBH) core can be described by two states, a single binary bit of information, Planck core or not Planck core. If that is true, then a Planck core has zero entropy . Under certain conditions, the SMBH will jet the Planck core as plasma. Once the plasma has escaped, the entropy of the particles begins to increase.

BLACK HOLE DYNAMICS
Bekenstein and Hawking related black hole entropy to the area of a black hole event horizon.
where is the area of the event horizon, is Boltzmann's constant, and is the Planck length.
The Boltzmann constant is a physical constant which relates the average relative kinetic energy of particles in a gas with the temperature of the gas and occurs in Planck's law of black-body radiation and in Boltzmann's entropy formula.
It is fascinating that Boltzmann's constant, which has to do with a gas, appears in the entropy equation for a black hole event horizon. What does a gas have to do with the event horizon area? Ingested matter-energy is not expected to be in a gas state at the event horizon by GR-QM era science. So what is going on here? Oh, I see, the Planck length squared is in the denominator. The surface of the Planck phase core volume may be composed of electrino/positrino dipoles, fixed in position, storing the maximum energy possible. The surface of the Planck phase core manifold is the matching surface to the prior phase which must be a gas. That is likely why Boltzmann's constant appears in the entropy formula.
What is that geometry of a Planck core? Parallel spherical or oblate shells that alternate electrino-positrino, fixed in position geometrically? The dipoles are not spinning in the Planck phase. It seems to me that time slowed and now stops for the Planck core, so I am thinking the electrinos and positrinos are fixed in position. And if they stopped spinning, that means the spin had to migrate somewhere else due to conservation of spin, so this must accelerate the spin of the black hole. As more layers join the core the geometry of the core will evolve.
The next step is to relate Boltzmann's constant to a potentially evolving geometry of the Planck phase core manifold. Maybe it's something simple, like an oblate spheroid. It's going to be that isn't it?
Jumpin' Jack Flash
It's a gas, gas, gas
Remember, we always need to consider faults and misalignments, in the actual physical geometry position by position. Nature is not perfect! I've been thinking face centered cubic would play a role in NPQG, and the Planck core phase manifold makes sense.
For equal spheres in three dimensions the densest packing uses approximately 74% of the volume. A random packing of equal spheres generally has a density around 64%.
Two simple arrangements within the close-packed family correspond to regular lattices. One is called cubic close packing (or face centred cubic, "FCC")—where the layers are alternated in the ABCABC… sequence. The other is called hexagonal close packing ("HCP")—where the layers are alternated in the ABAB… sequence. See the FCC HCP diagram above. But many layer stacking sequences are possible (ABAC, ABCBA, ABCBAC, etc.), and still generate a close-packed structure. In all of these arrangements each sphere is surrounded by 12 other spheres, and the average density is 0.74048.
Carl Friedrich Gauss proved in 1831 that these packings have the highest density amongst all possible lattice packings.
The formula for packing density is
This suggests that the packing arrangement involves a somewhat regular structure that can grow layers. True, core density might drop a little here or there near a fault, but overall, 74% packing upper bound makes sense. There are two ideal geometrical arrangements that can reach this upper bound: hexagonal close packing (HCP) or face centered cubic (FCC). Now, which arrangement makes more sense ABCABC (FCC) or ABAB (HCP)? If you said ABCABC (FCC) and your reasoning was "because space has three dimensions," then you had the same intuition that I did.
We can use this density formula, perhaps adusted downwards a bit for faults, to estimate the energy density of a Planck core! Geometrical simulation may be able to provide an exact solution based on number of layers.
A regular solid with 12 vertices, equally spaced on an imaginary sphere, is a cuboctahedron, which is a uniform polyhedron. I think it scales by adding a layer of spheres at a time, in the sphere model. The details about how these layers are added geometrically may be a future research area. In any case, it seems likely that nature would tend to optimize and make this figure more and more spherical as layers were added. It probably doesn't take many layers to reach an almost ideal sphere, even if carved out of a regular cuboctahedron lattice.
So far I've made a primitive case for layers of FCC cuboctahedron of Planck photons, spheres of six electrinos and six positrinos each, such that when alignment happens and the Planck phase is enjoined, we get alternating layers (electrino, positrino, electrino, positrino) proceeding spherically or spheroidally. I think this is somewhat appealing from a beauty and naturalness perspective, and in keeping with symmetry perhaps each dipole aligns radially to maximize the energy storage. Note: for the Planck core dipoles to align radially it must be that conserved spin has migrated to outer layers of the black hole, probably largely in a kinetic form.
It may well be that supermassive black holes self-regulate themselves. The larger the Planck core grows, the more spin is outsourced to the periphery, causing the black hole event horizon and the Planck core to to each become oblate spheroids.
Oblate Spherod – Wikipedia
If the mantle and core of the black hole were both oblate spheroids, the polar thickness of the mantle would be less than in a sphere of the same volume. Thus spin may play a regulation role. The Planck core spin is shed to the mantle, causing an oblate spheroid, which reduces the barrier toward escape for the Planck core. There may be a relationship between supermassive black hole spin rate and Planck emission initiation. Cessation would be related to spin rate, but also to remaining volume of Planck particle phase core.
None of the thinking on entropy in the GR-QM era has considered superfluid particles and their temperature, nor has it considered the correct thermodynamics of black holes.
What happens at the transition to the Planck particle phase? In this state, matter has achieved the ultimate concentration of energy. The neighborhood of the Planck core is composed of extremely high energy particles. As more energy pours into the SMBH the energy intensity of the core begins rising. General relativity still holds as long as there are no Planck particles. However, at some point, particles will occasionally hit Planck energy. Then as more energy gathers, the percentage of Planck particles will grow. Planck particles do not participate in general relativity, i.e., they do not transmit their mass, nor receive gravitational waves. This is because the electrinos and positrinos in a Planck particle are not moving. Time has stopped for the Planck particle.
RAMBLING THOUGHTS….
What about reversibility? We need to broaden our thinking on reversibility beyond reversing individual reactions and consider that particles can lose and gain energy any number of times as long as they are between zero energy (0 Kelvin) and the Planck energy (Planck temperature). Black holes can reset the energy of particles to the highest level possible. In that sense the particle entropy has been reversed from any lower energy transtions it has previously experienced.
The relation to time is that energy tends towards thermal equilibrium. Most free particles, absent any other impinging particles or laboratory preparation, have more energy than a superfluid particle. Therefore the free particle is more likely to emit radiation, i.e., shed energy, than it is to absorb energy. We observe this process occurring over time, and since GR-QM era scientists did not understand the superfluid or black hole dynamics, they have tied the concept of entropy to time.
Clearly the average temperature of the superfluid gas is 2.7 K, but what exactly is the composition of the superfluid gas? Is it composed of low energy photons, neutrinos, and axion like particles? In what proportion?
When a black body radiates, a common reaction is that an electron sheds energy to a superfluid particle which becomes a photon. The electron then drops down an energy level. This is the reverse of the process that heated the material, where photons transferred energy to the particle, typically causing an electron to increase its energy level.
Matt on PBS Space Time says black holes hold most of the entropy in the universe. What insights can we derive from this knowledge?
PREDICTIONS AND HYPOTHESES
The total entropy in the universe is constant and conserved. Some processes concentrate energy and some processes diffuse energy. We can clarify the second law from the perspective of the universe for any process as .
In-core Planck particles can be described by a single bit of information, Planck core or not Planck core. Planck particles have a single microstate.
A Planck core has zero entropy. .
When in-core Planck particles are exposed to a cooler and lower pressure environment, such as when penetrating the axial pole of an SMBH, the vast majority of ejecta is Planck photons and neutrinos.
No information is "stored" on a black hole horizon.
Information is destroyed in Planck cores of black holes.
WHAT IS THE LOWEST POSSIBLE SUPERFLUID ENERGY STATE?
What is the absolute lowest possible energy state of the superfluid? Does it correspond to maximum entropy? I am presuming that the 2.7K cosmic microwave background is the black body temperature of the superfluid.
If the universe and superfluid is continuous and infinite, then perhaps 2.7K is its lowest average energy. However, some observations have suggested colder spots in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). If those are valid results, what could cause a colder region of superfluid?
If our superfluid is a bubble, rather than infinite, then the surface of the bubble may be the interface to a phase change. What lies beyond the bubble surface? Here are some possibilities to ponder as we reverse engineer nature. Keep in mind that it may be difficult or impossible to test these ideas.
A 3D void free of electrinos, positrinos, and energy. Logically this implies that nothing can escape our bubble.
A 3D void with other superfluid bubbles in many size scales from unpaired electrinos and positrinos all the way up to bubbles similar to ours or even larger in scale.
Bubbles may move through the 3D void and occasionally combine.
A frozen superfluid at near 0 Kelvin. All electrinos and positrinos have zero velocity relative to the whole. Is it a lattice of interspaced electrinos and positrinos that minimizes charge interaction?
Some or all of the above.
Also, note that scientists have cooled free matter-energy particles to incredibly close to absolute 0 Kelvin. However, those particles are in a bath of superfluid at 2.7 K, plus any delta in temperature due to Earth's gravity. Considering these experiments may provide additional insight.

Who is Tessa Gourin? Actress claiming to be Jack Nicholson's daughter slams Lily Rose Depp over nepo baby remarks
Actress Tessa Gourin, who claims to be actor Jack Nicholson's daughter, recently slammed Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis' daughter Lily Rose Depp over her comments on nepotism in Hollywood.
In a recent interview with Elle, Lily Rose denied the idea that her father's position in Hollywood has brought her opportunities in the industry. She said:
"I just hear it a lot more about women, and I don't think that it's a coincidence. It's weird to me to reduce somebody to the idea that they're only there because it's a generational thing. It just doesn't make any sense."
Lily-Rose Depp on "nepo baby" label:
"It just doesn't make any sense. If somebody's mom or dad is a doctor, & then the kid becomes a doctor, you're not going to be like, 'You're only a doctor because your parent is a doctor.' It's like, 'No, I went to medical school & trained.'"
Depp further used the example of medical students and said that someone does not become a doctor if their parents are doctors, but only if they attend medical school and get professional training.
"If somebody's mom or dad is a doctor, and then the kid becomes a doctor, you're not going to be like, 'Well, you're only a doctor because your parent is a doctor.' It's like, 'No, I went to medical school and trained.'"
The actress clarified that she did not compare her line of work to that of medical life and admitted that her childhood was different from that of others.
She also mentioned that despite the internet having preconceived notions, an actor can only bag a role if they are a fit for the same:
"The internet seems to care a lot about that kind of stuff. People are going to have preconceived ideas about you or how you got there, and I can definitely say that nothing is going to get you the part except for being right for the part."
The Chanel brand ambassador added:
"The internet cares a lot more about who your family is than the people who are casting you in things. Maybe you get your foot in the door, but you still just have your foot in the door. There's a lot of work that comes after that."
Tessa Gourin (apparently Jack Nicholsons secret daughter?!) called out Lily Rose Depp for rejecting the term nepotism when benefitting from it and what it's like to be defined by men in your life
As Lily Rose Depp's interview circulated online, Tessa Gourin called out the former on Instagram and said she would love to use her "nepo baby" title to receive opportunities to showcase her talent but cannot do the same as she is not considered Jack Nicholson's "legitimate" daughter.
Tessa Gourin is alleged to be Nicholson and New York City real estate agent Jennine Gourin's love child. However, The Shining star has never publicly acknowledged Tessa as his daughter.
Everything to know about Tessa Gourin
Tessa Gourin is an actress and ceramics artist based in New York. As per IMDb, she has acted in projects like Stranger's Arms, Stage Play, and The Crusaders. She also operates her ceramics Instagram account named Mushrooms by Tessa.
Gourin was reportedly born in New York in August 1994 and is currently 28 years old. According to The National Enquirer, Gourin's mother, real estate agent Jennine, claimed that she had an affair with veteran actor Jack Nicholson in the 1990s, and Tessa was their love child.
Back in May, Tessa Gourin shared an article on Instagram that addressed her as Nicholson's illegitimate child and slammed the identification. At the time, she wrote:
"PSA: There is no such thing as an 'illegitimate' child, only an illegitimate parent."
She further denounced the term in another story and said:
"It is ASTOUNDING to me that anyone would use the term 'illegitimate' to describe someone in this day and age. I just pinched myself and it turns out… I LEGITIMATELY exist."
While Jack Nicholson has five other children, he has never publicly acknowledged Tessa Gourin's or her mother's alleged past relationship with him.

As Lily Rose Depp's remarks on nepotism went viral on social media, Tessa Gourin shared an IndieWire article about the former's interview titled Lily Rose Slams 'Nepo Baby' Label: People Want to Define Me By the Men in My Life and said:
In an Instagram story, Gourin mentioned that she would have loved to use the "nepotism baby" title to get an opportunity to showcase her talent if she were to be considered a "legitimate" child in the industry.
Speaking about the struggles in Hollywood, the aspiring actress said:
"Do you know how hard it is to even get an audition?! Let alone an agent/manager?! Now we're gonna cry about that??!!!"
She also said that people who have the opportunity to work in Hollywood should use their feelings of being victimized by the industry in the work that they are getting.
"This obsession our society has with identifying as victims in any circumstance is truly terrifying to me. Acting is an art form and a craft. Use your rage of feeling misunderstood or victimized by Hollywood and put it into work that you are so lucky to be getting!!!!"
Gourin added:
"Can we just start taking the win? F***. Life is unfair. It is the artist's DUTY to take the unfairness of life and put it into their work. End of story."
The ceramics artist also mentioned that she often uses her "complicated feelings" about the way "men" in her life have defined her in "the stage":
"The more dedicated to my craft I have become, the more liberating it has felt to let my art speak for me. (With the help of the playwright of course). After all, that is at the core, what being an actor is."
"I'd be thrilled to use my 'nepo baby' title (that I can't claim bc it isn't considered 'legitimate') if it meant I could get in the room and showcase my talent and craft."
Tessa Gourin also noted that "a lot more people" were engaging with her Instagram stories than normal and questioned if it was because of "the whole Jack Nicholson thing."
She also mentioned that she would use that engagement to promote her ceramics account and added a link to the corresponding profile in the IG story.

LEWIS v. THE STATE.
A98A0094.
BEASLEY, Judge.
Judgment affirmed. Andrews, C. J., Blackburn, J., and Senior Appellate Judge Harold R. Banke concur. McMurray, P. J., and Ruffin, J., dissent. Eldridge, J., dissents without opinion.
Drug violation, etc. DeKalb Superior Court. Before Judge Seeliger.
Neil Anthony Lewis, along with Warren Wilson, was indicted on one count of trafficking in cocaine and possession with intent to distribute cocaine. Lewis was also indicted for possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. The jury found Lewis guilty on each of the first two counts of the lesser included offense of possession of cocaine. The jury also found Lewis guilty of the firearm charge. One of his enumerations of error is that the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress evidence that was discovered as a result of an unlawful stop.
1. " 'When we review a trial court's decision on a motion to suppress, the evidence is construed most favorably to uphold the findings and judgment of the trial court; the trial court's findings on disputed facts and credibility are adopted unless they are clearly erroneous and will not be disturbed if there is any evidence to support them.' [Cit.]" Carter v. State, 229 Ga. App. 417, 418 (494 SE2d 108) (1997). See also Tate v. State, 264 Ga. 53, 54 (1) (440 SE2d 646) (1994); Robinson v. State, 226 Ga. App. 406 (486 SE2d 667) (1997). "In considering the denial of the motion to suppress, we may consider both the transcript on the hearing and the trial transcript. [Cit.]" Beck v. State, 216 Ga. App. 532, 536 (1) (455 SE2d 110) (1995).
Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to support the trial court's findings, it shows that Officers Williams and Sampsel were constitutionally permitted to stop the vehicle to make inquiry.
"Supreme Court holdings sculpt out, at least theoretically, three tiers of police-citizen encounters: (1) communication between police and citizens involving no coercion or detention and therefore without the compass of the Fourth Amendment, (2) brief 'seizures' that must be supported by reasonable suspicion, and (3) full-scale arrests that must be supported by probable cause. Under the first tier, a police officer may approach an individual and ask a few questions without triggering Fourth Amendment scrutiny." (Citations and punctuation omitted.) State v. King, 227 Ga. App. 466, 468 (489 SE2d 361) (1997). " 'The second tier occurs when the officer actually conducts a brief investigative Terry stop of the citizen. In this level, a police officer, even in the absence of probable cause, may stop persons and detain them briefly, when the officer has a particularized and objective basis for suspecting the persons are involved in criminal activity.' [Cit.]" McClain v. State, 226 Ga. App. 714, 716 (1) (487 SE2d 471) (1997). The third tier is an actual or de facto arrest which requires probable cause and involves restraint of one's liberty. Lambright v. State, 226 Ga. App. 424, 425-426 (1) (487 SE2d 59) (1997).
Lewis's encounter with the police falls within the second tier. At that level the officer must possess more than a subjective, unparticularlized suspicion or hunch, but rather " 'a founded suspicion, some necessary basis from which the court can determine that the detention was not arbitrary or harassing.' [Cits.]" Id. at 426; see Rogers v. State, 206 Ga. App. 654, 659 (3) (426 SE2d 209) (1992); McClain, supra. A "stop" under the Fourth Amendment occurs, based on the totality of the circumstances, when a reasonable person would have believed that he was not free to leave, that is, whether the police conduct would have communicated to a reasonable person that the person was not free to decline the officer's request or otherwise terminate the encounter. Id.
The question of whether reasonable suspicion exists to stop the vehicle must be "measured by current knowledge, i.e. at the moment the [stop] is made and not hindsight." (Citation and punctuation omitted.) Lovell v. State, 178 Ga. App. 366, 367-368 (1) (343 SE2d 414) (1986). The police did not stop Lewis until they had witnessed or had knowledge of at least five indicia which contributed to an articulable suspicion of criminal activity:
(a) Two men in a vehicle had just exited an abandoned, unlit development known for drug trafficking, late at night. This area had no buildings and had at times been posted for trespassing. The men had no apparent legitimate reason for being there.
(b) As soon as the police drove behind the car, Lewis reacted with conduct of avoidance by immediately pulling over to the curb behind another vehicle. Then, when the police did not pass but were pulling up behind him, he immediately backed up, in an apparent attempt to leave the police. The police saw this behavior as erratic.
(c) Lewis was driving a vehicle with a New Jersey license plate in an area where the residents and their kin were known by the officer to be from Georgia and to have Georgia plates on their vehicles.
(d) The residence which Lewis chose to stop in front of was one in which the officers had previously made numerous drug arrests.
(e) As the police were pulling in behind Lewis, and as they were activating the blue light, the passenger at the same time jumped out and began walking away into the yard, apparently to distance himself from the police.
The investigatory Terry stop of Lewis at that point was based on a reasonable, articulable suspicion of criminal activity and was not arbitrary or harassing. Carter v. State, 229 Ga. App. 417, 420 (494 SE2d 108) (1997). The denial of the motion to suppress evidence of what was found in the car and on Lewis's person was not error.
2. Turning to the denial of Lewis's motion to suppress evidence of the cocaine discarded by Wilson, the threshold question is whether Lewis has standing to challenge the seizure of this evidence. A defendant has standing to suppress evidence obtained through an illegal search or seizure only when his or her own rights are violated, because these rights are personal and cannot be asserted vicariously. Rakas v. Illinois, 439 U. S. 128 (99 SC 421, 58 LE2d 387) (1978). In Rakas, the Supreme Court held that passengers occupying an automobile could not invoke the protections of the Fourth Amendment with respect to a search of the vehicle where they did not assert a property or a possessory interest in the place from which the evidence was seized or an interest in the property seized. Id. 439 U. S. at 148. See also Mecale v. State, 186 Ga. App. 276, 277-278 (367 SE2d 52) (1988); Frederick v. State, 226 Ga. App. 540, 541 (1) (487 SE2d 107) (1997).
In this instance, there is no evidence that Lewis asserted a possessory or proprietary interest in the premises from which the contraband was confiscated. Nor is there evidence that Lewis asserted a property interest in the contraband that was seized. Accordingly, he is without standing to challenge the admissibility of this evidence. Mecale, supra at 278. Therefore, the trial court properly denied Lewis's motion to suppress evidence of the cocaine discarded by Wilson. "A trial court's ruling will be affirmed if it is right for any reason.' [Cit.]" Frederick, supra at 542.
3. Lewis contends that the trial court erred in its denial of his motion for directed verdict in that the State offered no expert testimony that the substance found on Lewis's person was cocaine. 1
" 'The standard of review for the denial of a motion for a directed verdict of acquittal is the same as that for reviewing the sufficiency of the evidence to support a conviction.' [Cit.] To sustain the conviction, the evidence must be sufficient to authorize the jury's finding of the defendant's guilt of the crime charged beyond a reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U. S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560) (1979); [cit.]." Cantrell v. State, 230 Ga. App. 693, 694-695 (1) (498 SE2d 90) (1998).
DeKalb County Police Officer Gardner testified that he conducted a drug identification field test on the substance that was confiscated from Lewis's person and the test results identified the substance as cocaine.
"We have found no case where the results of a chemical field test have been held inadmissible, though it would appear that its reliability would be tested by defense cross examination and rebuttal and that the weight to be given it by the jury would be an appropriate subject for defense argument. [Cit.]" Davis v. State, 135 Ga. App. 203, 205 (1) (217 SE2d 343) (1975).
Contrary to Lewis's assertion, it was for the jury to determine whether the foregoing testimony established that the substance was cocaine. The jury obviously concluded that it was, and because we do not weigh the evidence on appeal, we conclude that there was sufficient evidence to establish that the white substance confiscated from Lewis's person was cocaine. Jackson, supra; Davis, supra.
4. Lewis's remaining enumerations of error have been examined and bear no basis for reversing the judgment.
RUFFIN, Judge, dissenting.
Although I concur with Divisions 2 and 3 of the majority opinion, I respectfully dissent from Division 1 and the judgment of affirmance as follows.
Specifically, I do not believe as the majority finds, that the facts support a reasonable articulable suspicion that Lewis was engaged or about to be engaged in criminal conduct. Contrary to the majority's characterization of the facts, the evidence merely showed that Lewis and his companion were traveling in a high crime area with an out-of-state license plate. Although the area at one time had been posted with a "no trespassing" sign, the evidence is clear and undisputed that there was no such sign on the evening in question. With regard to the majority's statement that Lewis attempted to leave the police and acted in an erratic manner, the evidence simply showed that after he pulled his car to the curb, he attempted to back up; a maneuver commonly engaged in while parallel parking.
Finally, with regard to Wilson's exit from Lewis's car, the evidence shows only that this occurred simultaneously with the officers' stop. Accordingly, it is difficult to comprehend how this could have formed a basis for the stop.
App. 44, 46 (491 SE2d 116) (1997). Without more, there is insufficient evidence to provide an articulable, reasonable suspicion to justify the stop of Lewis's vehicle. See id. The only additional factor present in this case which could have formed the basis for the officers' stop is Lewis's out-of-state license plate. An out-of-state license plate is not an indication of criminality Accordingly, contrary to the majority conclusion, I do not believe the officers' stop of the vehicle was based upon a reasonable articulable suspicion.
I am authorized to state that Presiding Judge McMurray joins in this dissent.
J. Tom Morgan, District Attorney, Barbara B. Conroy, Gregory J. Lohmeier, Assistant District Attorneys, for appellee.
1 Lewis did not raise, and therefore we do not address the issue of whether there was sufficient evidence to support the verdict of guilty against Lewis for possession of cocaine that was discarded by Wilson.

Q: Visual Studio intellisense commits after pressing a special character - python Intellisense in python is turning out to be more of a burden than a helpful tool.  Whenever I used it for C++, pressing '.' would pop up a list of options.  However pressing '.' while using Python commits to the intellisense option.  This also happens when pressing '(' or '{' or several other special characters.  I was under the impression that pressing 'tab' or 'enter' were the only keys that would commit to the intellisense option?
To make matters worse, Visual Studio's keyboard shortcuts don't seem to be working correctly either (or at least 1 of the main ones I use).
Pressing Ctrl + Enter would normally give me a new line above my current line however instead I get a syntax error in the School Interactive Window.
A solution to these problem would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Solutions I've tried are looking under the text editor options for python as well as the general text editor options.  I've also searched google and stack overflow but can't find a similar question
EDIT2: Changed title as well as body to reflect new found info which is that not only '.' commits to the intellisense option but all special characters.

A: Found the solution.  Under Tools > Options > Python > Advanced there is a "Committed by typing the following characters: {}.,:;+-*/%&|^~=<>#@\".  I thought these were characters that opened up intellisense dropdown suggestions but rather commit the intellisense option.  I just deleted all the characters and it fixed the issue.  I still haven't found the answer to my second question but since the title is named after the first issue, I'll open up a new topic for that question if I do a more thorough search and can't figure it out.
