Architectural Records Collection
Architectural records are plans, drawings, blueprints, or other graphic or visual documents used in the
design and construction of buildings, landscapes, or other manmade objects. Architectural records are the
result of a lengthy process of gathering and refining data in order to prepare a design and produce final
construction drawings and plans. Using surveys of the construction site, the architect produces rough
sketches and diagrams of the proposed building. Preliminary drawings are then prepared and revised. The
final construction drawings include minute details about size, scale, structural systems, electrical wiring,
plumbing, heating, and air conditioning systems, as well as interior and exterior finishes. The final plans,
prepared by a photochemical process, might be reproduced several times, and might be revised as
construction progresses.
The architectural records in this finding aid are listed chronologically, by series number, name of project,
name of architect/architectural firm, and number of items. They have been arranged chronologically,
according to date of building project. Each project constitutes a records subseries. Each subseries has
been described according to name of building project, name of architect/architectural firm, and date span.
Within each subseries, the records divide themselves into files according to type of drawing, such as
sketches, mechanical plans, or detailed drawings. The architect's original organization and system of
numbering has been maintained. When this information has been unavailable, the records have been
organized by date and subject.

Mikey Hooks is an iOS game by BeaverTap Games, and released on August 8, 2013. It is part of the Mikey series of games, which includes Mikey Boots and Mikey Shorts.

Critical reception

The game has a rating of 88/100 on Metacritic based on 16 critic reviews.

Apple'N'Apps wrote "Mikey Hooks latches on to you, and won't let go as you keep swinging through an expertly crafted game that is one of the best on iOS making it an absolute must buy." 148Apps said "Mikey Hooks takes the casual speedrun formula of Mikey Shorts, and adds grappling hooks for more addictive speedrun fun. Speedfun!" AppleSmile wrote "Retaining the same style and spot-on controls as the original, Mikey Hooks adds grappling hooks, more obstacles, and a damage mechanic that adds a great deal of challenge and makes the sequel a standout hit." Slide To Play wrote "You'll play every level over and over again to get those three stars, and after your friends manage to beat your scores, you'll play the levels again. It's just that much fun." TouchArcade said "It fires on all cylinders, and if you're a fan of the previous games you don't even need this review to determine if you should get it or not–you probably have already bought it."

Gamezebo wrote "Mikey Hooks' only real hiccup is that the controls aren't perfect. I know, I know, I said that they are some of the best platforming controls I've had the pleasure to play on a touch-screen - but they're still not spot-on. The sliding in particular feels irksome at times, especially on the later levels which require far more precision thanks to the plethora of spikes and traps scattered about the place." Modojo said "Mikey Shorts did a lot for the platforming market last year, and for just under two bucks, Mikey Hooks does even better with a new mode, a great new gameplay tactic and that same wonderful presentation from the original. One play and you'll be, ahem, hooked." AppSpy wrote "Despite the new hookshot mechanic, Mikey Hooks feels very familiar to its predecessor. However, when your predecessor was one of the best platformers on iOS, that not necessarily a bad thing."

Multiplayer.it said "Mikey Hooks delivers the same gameplay from its predecessor, but adds a new layer to the experience thanks to the grappling hook." IGN Italia wrote "Mikey Hooks is a really good game, based on a solid gameplay and a really precise control system. It could instead have been a great game, but it's too short and easy, and even if the Race Mode adds some fun, it's simply not enough to make the final step to greatness." MacLife said "Mikey Hooks is a worthwhile successor to Mikey Shorts that's short, but a rush while it lasts." Arcade Sushi wrote "Like its predecessor, Mikey Hooks is a solid title that's full of lots of fun platforming action. For the price, it's certainly worth adding to your library if you are looking for some fast-paced fun. And most importantly, it does right by the grappling hook." Pocket Gamer said "A brilliant mix of precision and fun, Mikey Hooks is a worthy sequel to its illustrious forebear."

3D Juegos wrote "Mikey Hooks is a brilliant sequel to one of the most addictive and beloved 2D platformers found in the iOS market, Mikey Shorts." Destructoid wrote "Despite having a virtual d-pad and buttons, Mikey Hooks is a great addition to any platformer fan's portable library. Although I don't think it surpasses Hook Champ as an absolute must-buy, it's a really fun game in its own right, and a perfect example of a serviceable platform game on iOS."

A fascinating story in yesterday's New York Times says that federal prosecutors are investigating three plaintiffs firms that were instrumental in filing asbestos claims that sent GAF Holdings into bankruptcy. But the report says that prosecutors are meeting with former employees of the firms and are focusing on witness coaching and supposed pressures that were placed on doctors' diagnoses. The firms mentioned in the article are Baron & Budd (whose witness preparation memo in an earlier matter was leaked to the press and raised eyebrows); Ness, Motley; and Weitz & Luxenberg.
UPDATE: I see that Point of Law has posted on this. It makes me wonder: will an enterprising class of plaintiffs lawyers now go hunting plaintiffs law firms?
Blogging will be light for a few weeks.
"MR. BRAFMAN and other Milberg Weiss advocates also say that the payments outlined in the indictment were referral fees paid to law firms representing Mr. Lazar - fees that are common throughout the plaintiff's bar. But legal analysts say that if the fees were paid to the law firms with the unspoken understanding that the money would be given to Mr. Lazar, then that would be improper."
Nigeria (and I say this as a barrister) lacks a justice delivery system that can police good governance and protect the citizenry. It is painfully slow, at times corrupt, manipulated by a legal profession that has forgotten that it was once regarded as a vocation, and by a poorly paid and under-par police force, ill-equipped to investigate or protect. Presently there is no justice.
One of the local DAs said that minority candidates are often drawn to representation of "underdogs," and hence you have whiter prosecutors offices. One of my former students explored this issue in a term paper and was able to confirm that that explanation is widely held in the prosecutor and defender communities in the Bay Area. I don't have any first hand knowledge of this and was wondering if our readers have any.
In today's "The Ethicist" column in the NYT, Randy Cohen's fields a question from a print shop employee who was asked to print a bumper sticker that said, "Defend American Against the Communist / Vote Republican." The employee found the message "ridiculous," and, wanting to "save [her] energy for helping those who mean well," she didn't want to help the customer correct his grammar.
Cohen's response starts off well: "You should do your job according to the usual professional standards ...." But, inexplicably, Cohen doesn't follow through on his own suggestion; he doesn't ask, "if the bumper sticker matched your politics, would your 'usual professional standards' prompt you to suggest edits to the customer?" Instead, Cohen offers the employee an odd mish-mash of say-so pronouncements: you can refuse to print the sticker if your boss consents; given the importance of printers in a free society, you shouldn't refuse to print the bumper sticker except under extreme circumstances; when the bumper sticker is as "loopy," as that one is, you can refuse; you can print it because Cohen and others aesthetically enjoy reading garbled English (like Chinese manufacturers sometimes use); and you shouldn't doubt the customer's sincerity no matter how "foolish" and "horrible" his politics. As is often the case, I'm not convinced by any of Cohen's various and contradictory solutions.
Here's where I'd start. To what extent is that print shop neutral ground in the agonistic battles of the day and to what extent is it committed to particular positions in those battles? This raises a difficult issue about professional commitments and personal commitments. I have no quarrel with a printer who says "we only do [right/left] politics here." I have little quarrel with a printer who says, "I print what the customer wants." I myself would be inclined to say, "except at the extremes, I print what the customer wants." True, that raises the question of what I consider extreme. But however I define it, I wouldn't call myself "professional" and silently offer two levels of service: one for politics I like and another for politics I don't like. If I couldn't offer a customer the same service I offer others, I'd decline the job. To me, the term "professional" requires at least that much.
For lawyers who are inclined to silently offer two levels of service, I suggest renting Cape Fear, either the Robert DeNiro version or (for purists) the Robert Mitchum original.
Peter Henning, at White Collar Crime Prof Blog, discusses a new case where the application of the "crime-fraud exception" to the attorney client privilege in case of joint representations resulted in a rare order barring a lawyer from discussing some issues with his client. (When a communication with a lawyer is for the purpose of furthering a crime or fraud, there is no attorney-client privilege.) . . . . Gordon Smith, at Conglomerate, reports on the concession of Sarbanes-Oxley's co-author Michael Oxley, that the S-Ox Act went too far and deprived small and mid-sized companies of flexibility. The Act generated a lot of attorneys fees, but I don't think that was Congress's purpose. . . . . Here's a story about a judge tossing out what's characterized as a lawyer's claim that she should have been warned that lying under oath is perjury. (Somehow I doubt that she phrased it like that.) I am aware of lawyers and other targets giving statements in civil cases and then being surprised to see the civil matter become a criminal matter. The simple solution: speak the truth or don't speak at all. . . . . In the UK, some corporations are taking the decision about hiring outside counsel away from the GC and giving it to the normal procurement department and other corporations are asking law firms to submit paperless bills.
Prosecutors and PDs always have great stories to tell and strong views to share -- and the PD's investigators do too, replete with some salty terminology not found in the Penal Code. If you want a glimpse of what motivates some on the defense side, check it out.
After I posted about those puzzling new email disclaimers from tax lawyers, Eric Goldman and Bill Freivogel were kind enough to enlighten me. In a nutshell, in the new IRS regs ("Circular 230") governing the rendering of tax advice, all written advice is treated the same, whether the advice is a formal opinion with all the bells and whistles or just a quick email from a Blackberry. The only way to avoid compliance with the full regs is to have that disclaimer we're now seeing. Here's how the disclaimer affects the taxpayer: if the taxpayer's position is rejected, the taxpayer cannot raise the "reliance on tax advisor" defense to penalties if the reliance was based upon a communication bearing the disclaimer. If the taxpayer wants an opinion to rely on, a tax lawyer will provide one without the disclaimer, but given the higher stakes the lawyer will presumably be more thorough and charge more.
This brings to mind an issue a litigator had years ago, when a client wanted some advice on how to avoid the status of "franchisor." The client had asked a franchise law specialist for an opinion and was quoted a significant fee. Surely the litigator (who had frequently litigated "franchisor" status) could give that advice much more cheaply, the client suggested. The litigator had to advise the client that "you get what you pay for." If the client wanted a good looking opinion letter that would impress a regulator, judge, or jury, it would take some real investigation and prep time. If the client wanted some quick advice on how to reduce the odds of being declared a franchisor, the litigator would be glad to look over the contracts and offer suggestions -- but that sort of advice wasn't likely to impress anyone if the client ever wanted to raise the affirmative defense of good faith reliance on counsel's advice. The lawyer and the client then turned to a discussion of the pros and cons of the expensive route and the cheap route.
If the tax lawyer email disclaimers promote that kind of communication between lawyers and clients, then perhaps the benefits will outweigh the costs of "disclaimer overkill."
When a lawyer writes a brief for a client, urging a controversial stance, is it fair to impute that stance to the lawyer? There's interesting commentary over at Volokh in the context of possible SCOTUS nominee John Roberts, who as deputy solicitor general wrote a brief stating the administration's position that Roe v. Wade should be overturned. On the level of lawyer discipline, the answer is obvious and non-controversial: Model Rule 1.2(b) provides that a "lawyer's representation of a client ... does not constitute an endorsement of the client's political, economic, social or moral views or activities."
But, of course, anyone can sit in private moral judgment when a lawyer presents a client's argument with which he/she disagrees. I myself don't engage in that criticism. Others do. Some people morally condemn plaintiff's lawyers; others morally condemn corporate lawyers. If that kind of private moral judgment is your cup of tea, by all means indulge yourself. As a formal matter, however, the lawyer is not legally responsible for the client's argument (assuming the argument is not frivolous, not based on perjury, etc.). To hold lawyers formally to account for their client's position would be to turn the law on itself, so that the process of orderly resolving disputes would itself become a battlefield. That way chaos lies. And as a factual matter, one cannot conclude that "if the lawyer made the argument the lawyer must like the argument."
Which leaves one final question. If John Roberts isn't legally accountable for a non-frivolous argument he presented, and if we're all free to render private moral judgments (pro or con) on Roberts for presenting the argument, should he be politically responsible for presenting the argument? I'd say no, but just as I'd like to see some deference to the lawyer's role in presenting arguments, I'm inclined to let the senators play out their role as they see fit -- with the caveats that "what goes around comes around" and that punishing the legitimate presentation of a client's arguments serves to erode the benefits of the legal system.


I just received some new (old) carbon paper sheets by Pelikan. Yes, I type. Yes, I use carbon paper for my own copies.
I like the photo on the box- so hip! Did not realize that the Pelikan company was still around. It began in Germany- now located in Switzerland. More renowned for their fountain pens, though they do still make carbon paper. Just not printed in this style.
Here is a cool page on their website about the history of the company, with graphics.
The plastic protection cover inside the box shows the logo, and it is marked Germany.
Here's the backing for a sheet. I like the diamond pattern, and the small typewriter logo that is intermittently shown on the sheets.
Some of the often overlooked ephemera relating to typewriters are the onionskin sheets and carbon sheets that were manufactured. I have found that these often have some very cool copy and branding logos.
Here's an envelope for carbon paper sold by the Ulbrich's stationery store.
Ulbrich's was still a growing concern in the 1950s. It appears that Ulbrich's filed for bankruptcy in 1990.
Below is the cover for a box of carbon sheets from the Kee Lox company. Branded as Panama, with a very popular icon of the day, a passenger jet plane.
Here are some companion promotional items, branded tape measures.
To get a grasp on the scope of ribbon tin manufacture, it's helpful to note the major national ribbon makers. They were Kee-Lox (Rochester, NY); Carter's (Boston); Mittag & Volger (Park Ridge, NJ); Miller-Bryant-Pierce (Aurora, IL); Webster (Boston) and Underwood (various locations) and Manifold Supplies (Brooklyn, NY), known for its famous Panama tins.
Kee Lox held several trademarks for carbon paper including Panama-Beaver, Thin-Thin, Dri Kleen, Kee Lectric, Klarograph, and Grip-N-Pull.
While attempting to find out more about the Kee Lox manufacturing company, I stumbled upon this gem of a post by a favorite typewriter enthusiast. The page has a nice biography regarding the president of the Kee Lox Manufacturing Company, Winfield Perry Pembroke.
The blog post itself involves a ribbon tester made by Kee Lox. I didn't even know I needed one!

Marcelo Ribeiro Freixo (São Gonçalo, 12 de abril de 1967) é um professor e político brasileiro, filiado ao Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT), atual presidente da Embratur. Pelo mesmo estado foi deputado estadual por três mandatos consecutivos e presidiu a Comissão de Defesa dos Direitos Humanos e Cidadania da Assembleia Legislativa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (ALERJ).

Nas eleições de 2014, foi o deputado estadual mais votado do Brasil. Foi candidato à prefeitura do Rio de Janeiro nas eleições municipais de 2016 pela coligação "Mudar é Possível", formada pelo seu partido, o PSOL, e pelo Partido Comunista Brasileiro (PCB), tendo como vice a advogada e professora da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro Luciana Boiteux. No segundo turno Freixo obteve 1.163.662 votos (40,64%), perdendo para Marcelo Crivella do Partido Republicano Brasileiro (PRB), que alcançou 1.700.030 votos (59,36%). Nas eleições de 2018, foi eleito deputado federal pelo Rio de Janeiro com 342.491 votos, sendo o segundo mais votado do estado.

Ganhou notoriedade nacional quando presidiu a Comissão Parlamentar de Inquérito das milícias no Rio de Janeiro, tendo inspirado um personagem do filme Tropa de Elite 2, de José Padilha. Freixo foi também colunista na Folha de S.Paulo até julho de 2016, escrevendo periodicamente textos de opinião sobre a conjuntura política, econômica e as questões sociais no Rio de Janeiro, no Brasil e no mundo. Além disso, foi membro da Fundação Lauro Campos, um think tank sem fins lucrativos criado pelo PSOL, com o objetivo de ensejar um "pensamento crítico comprometido com os valores do socialismo e da liberdade", e que busca promover discussões sobre o país e a América Latina.

Biografia e vida pessoal
Filho de Aroudo Ribeiro Freixo, um inspetor escolar, e Alenice Ribeiro Freixo, uma secretária, Marcelo Freixo nasceu em São Gonçalo, mas foi criado no subúrbio de Niterói, no bairro do Fonseca.

Ingressou no curso de Economia, mas acabou optando pela transferência, formando-se em História pela Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF).

É pai de dois filhos: João, nasceu quando Freixo tinha 23 anos e  Isadora. Em 19 de julho de 2019, casou-se com Antonia Pellegrino, escritora e roteirista.

Carreira política
Filiado ao Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) desde 1986, Marcelo Freixo concorreu ao seu primeiro cargo eletivo somente dez anos depois, em 1996, quando candidatou-se a vereador de Niterói pelo PT. Entretanto, alcançando a soma de  votos válidos, não conseguiu ser eleito e ficou como suplente.

Militância em direitos humanos
Antes de se eleger deputado estadual, Marcelo trabalhou como pesquisador da ONG Justiça Global e como consultor do deputado federal Chico Alencar na área de direitos humanos. De 1993 a 1995, foi diretor do Sindicato dos Professores de São Gonçalo e Niterói. Foi também voluntário no projeto de prevenção a AIDS nas prisões do estado durante os anos de 1995 e 1996, coordenou projetos educativos no sistema penitenciário e, de 2001 a 2004, presidiu o Conselho da Comunidade da Comarca do Rio de Janeiro, onde exerceu papel fiscalizador dos direitos humanos nas carceragens e presídios do estado. Ele também defendeu uma dosagem segura para usuários de crack.

Foi coordenador da Comissão de Direitos Humanos da Assembleia Legislativa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro durante o mandato de Chico Alencar, atuando na defesa dos direitos humanos através da elaboração de cartilhas, da fiscalização das ações do governo e de denúncias de violações contra mulheres, negros, homossexuais, idosos e presos. Também esteve junto ao Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra na luta pela reforma agrária e contra o trabalho escravo no interior do Rio de Janeiro.

Deputado Estadual
Em setembro de 2005, Marcelo Freixo filiou-se ao recém-criado Partido Socialismo e Liberdade (PSOL), pelo qual foi eleito deputado estadual para a ALERJ, em 2006. Foi o mais votado do partido, com  votos.

Durante o mandato, foi vice-presidente da Comissão Parlamentar de Inquérito do Tribunal de Contas do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, que apurava crimes de que são acusados conselheiros e técnicos do Tribunal de Contas, assim como um deputado estadual e prefeitos do estado.

Foi também presidente da Comissão Parlamentar de Inquérito das Milícias, que visava investigar a ligação de parlamentares com grupos paramilitares. À época, passou 15 dias de exílio na Europa por conta de ameaças de morte.  Em 2008, protocolou pedido de cassação de mandato do então deputado Álvaro Lins, que acabou cassado no dia 12 de agosto.

Exílio na Espanha
Nas eleições de 2010, foi reeleito deputado estadual pelo PSOL com  votos, sendo o 2º deputado mais votado do estado e perdendo apenas para Wagner Montes. Janira Rocha também foi eleita com ajuda da votação de Freixo.

Durante o segundo mandato, Freixo presidiu a Comissão Parlamentar de Inquérito do tráfico de armas, cujo relatório foi apresentado em 2011. Nessa época, a convite da Anistia Internacional, deixou o Brasil após sofrer uma série de ameaças de morte. Dois meses antes, a juíza Patrícia Acioli havia sido assassinada, baleada por uma arma pertencente ao Exército Brasileiro e de calibre restrito. O irmão de Marcelo Freixo, Renato, também foi assassinado a tiros, por milicianos, em julho de 2006, aos 35 anos de idade.

Também em 20 de novembro de 2015, o segurança do deputado estadual Marcelo Freixo, Alexandre Murta Fernandes, de 41 anos, foi morto após reagir a um assalto em Bento Ribeiro, zona norte do Rio. Alexandre era lotado do DGP (Diretoria Geral de Pessoal), mas na época trabalhava na Assembleia Legislativa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro para Freixo. Ele estava de folga no momento do crime. Os bandidos estavam em um carro Fiat Punto preto, quando deram três disparos em direção ao PM. Os criminosos fugiram sem levar nada da vítima. Alexandre foi levado para o Hospital Estadual Carlos Chagas, em Marechal Hermes, onde chegou a passar por cirurgia mas não resistiu.

Candidatura à prefeitura do Rio de Janeiro em 2012

Depois de muita especulação e expectativa em torno da possível candidatura do deputado Marcelo Freixo para a prefeitura do Rio de Janeiro, a Executiva Estadual do PSOL anunciou o nome de Freixo como candidato a prefeito na eleição municipal de 2012. Na composição da chapa, Freixo teve, como vice, o músico e compositor Marcelo Yuka, ex-baterista da banda O Rappa e conhecido por escrever canções de protesto contra a desigualdade social.

Com pouco tempo de propaganda eleitoral na TV, Marcelo Freixo apostou nas redes sociais e nos jovens eleitores, e contou com o apoio expressivo de parte da classe artística - entre eles Chico Buarque, Mano Brown, e Wagner Moura.

Após ter declarado em uma entrevista a TV, que se fosse prefeito daria subvenção a escolas de samba com contrapartida cultural e criticando enredos patrocinados, Freixo criou uma polêmica com agremiações carnavalescas que possuíam esses tipos de enredos, como o caso da Salgueiro, que teve patrocínio da revista Caras.

Após obter quase 30% dos votos válidos, 914.082 votos nominais e a segunda colocação entre 8 candidatos, Marcelo Freixo acabou fora do segundo turno, sendo reeleito o prefeito Eduardo Paes.

Apesar de não ter vencido a disputa, Freixo conseguiu mobilizar e envolver milhares de jovens no debate político do futuro da cidade carioca a ponto de reunir, por exemplo, cerca de 15 mil pessoas num comício em dia de chuva nos Arcos da Lapa.

Além disso, Marcelo Freixo concluiu a disputa como o terceiro psolista mais votado da história do partido num único pleito eleitoral, atrás apenas das presidenciáveis Heloísa Helena, que em 2006 conquistou 6.575.393 votos, e Luciana Genro, que em 2014 obteve 1.612.186 votos nominais válidos, ficando à frente, inclusive, de Plínio de Arruda Sampaio, candidato presidencial da legenda em 2010, com 886.816 votos.

Eleições parlamentares de 2014
Em fevereiro de 2014, veículos de imprensa, especialmente a Rede Globo, associaram Marcelo Freixo ao atentado contra o repórter Santiago Andrade da Rede Bandeirantes. O ato causou uma grande comoção na sociedade carioca e, um ato de desagravo foi realizado em favor de Marcelo Freixo. Este fato pode ter desencadeado no eleitorado fluminense novo recall político ao deputado que foi reeleito com votação expressiva. Em 2014, Freixo se candidatou a deputado estadual pelo PSOL, sem coligação. Conquistou, ao mesmo tempo, dois títulos: o de deputado estadual mais votado do país e o de eleito com a campanha mais barata entre todos os seus pares. O município-capital, onde está assentada sua base de votos, contribuiu com 85,5% de seu eleitorado - onde recebeu um décimo dos votos válidos, dentre os postulantes ao cargo. Freixo se reelegeu com 350 mil votos, cerca de 4,5% dos votos válidos, alcançando a maior votação em todo o país. Paulo Ramos, Flavio Serafini, Dr. Julianelli e Eliomar Coelho, foram eleitos ajudados pela boa votação de Freixo.

Eleições para prefeito do Rio de Janeiro em  2016
Nas eleições de 2016, Freixo foi novamente candidato à prefeitura do Rio de Janeiro, tendo como vice a advogada e professora da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro Luciana Boiteux, coligados ao Partido Comunista Brasileiro (PCB). Dispôs de 11 segundos no rádio e na televisão e obteve  votos (18,26% do total) no primeiro turno, mais do que o candidato Pedro Paulo, apoiado pelo então prefeito Eduardo Paes, do PMDB, e prosseguiu ao segundo turno das eleições.

A campanha de arrecadação para a chapa se tornou o maior crowdfunding do país. Segundo dados oficiais, arrecadaram R$ 2.342.778,75 para recursos de campanha. No segundo turno, conquistaram  votos, 40,64% do total, sendo vencidos por Marcelo Crivella (PRB).

Deputado Federal

Nas eleições de 2018, Freixo foi eleito deputado federal do Rio de Janeiro com  votos, sendo o segundo mais votado do estado.

Foi lançado pelo PSOL, em dezembro de 2018, como candidato à presidência da Câmara dos Deputados, se opondo à reeleição de Rodrigo Maia (DEM-RJ), que recebeu apoio do Partido Social Liberal. Freixo se colocou como opção para uma candidatura de oposição de esquerda. Além do PSOL, Freixo contou com o apoio do PT e da Rede Sustentabilidade. Recebendo 50 votos, terminou o pleito em terceiro lugar, atrás do presidente reeleito Rodrigo Maia e do deputado Fábio Ramalho (MDB-MG).

Em agosto de 2020, Freixo recebeu o prêmio de melhor deputado federal na votação popular do Congresso em Foco, além de ficar em segundo lugar na votação realizada por um júri de jornalistas.

Em 2021, visando a candidatura ao cargo de governador do Rio de Janeiro nas eleições de 2022, Freixo deixou o PSOL e se filiou ao Partido Socialista Brasileiro (PSB).

No contexto de sua nomeação à presidência da Embratur, Freixo se antecipou e renunciou ao seu mandato de deputado federal (2019–2023) através de uma carta entregue ao Presidente da Câmara, Arthur Lira, em 17 de janeiro de 2023. Para assumir o comando da empresa, Freixo seria obrigado a deixar o seu cargo no legislativo, algo que ocorreria de qualquer forma em 1.° de fevereiro de 2023 — data que marcaria o fim do seu mandato de 4 anos.

Presidente da Embratur
Marcelo Freixo foi nomeado para a equipe de transição do governo federal eleito. No final de novembro, declarou que: "O quadro que estamos encontrando de herança deste governo é trágico. São apenas R$ 19 milhões para investimento no turismo em 2023. Ou seja, não é nada". Após 6 meses no PSB, Freixo anunciou sua desfiliação do partido e o reingresso à primeira sigla na carreira política, o PT. No mesmo dia, Freixo foi nomeado como presidente da Embratur, o primeiro cargo público dele que não é no legislativo.

No começo do governo, a imprensa divulgou diversas matérias revelando a associação da ministra do Turismo Daniela Carneiro e seu cônjuge, o prefeito de Belford Roxo Waguinho, com milicianos notórios da Baixada Fluminense. Freixo, notório por presidir a CPI das Milícias no Rio, é subordinado, portanto, à Daniela. Questionado sobre a relação, Freixo disse que "cabia à ela falar sobre" e que "minha relação com ela é muito recente, mas muito boa e de muito diálogo". Com a polêmica, o deputado Eduardo Bolsonaro, filho do ex-presidente, atacou Freixo diretamente nas redes sociais, dizendo: "O PhD em milícia, Freixo, que hoje é serviçal da ministra do turismo enrolada, desconversa e diz que não é com ele."

Referências na cultura popular
No filme Tropa de Elite 2, de José Padilha, a história de Marcelo Freixo inspirou a criação do personagem "Diogo Fraga", um professor de história e militante dos direitos humanos que se torna deputado estadual e também preside uma CPI contra o poder das milícias no Rio de Janeiro. Freixo aparece como figurante em uma cena do início do filme, como um membro da plateia em uma palestra do referido personagem.

I'm having trouble trying to understand just what the Snapshot mode is on the XF-10.
The manual says it can be set to OFF, 2m, or 5m.
If it's set to 2m, what does that mean? Is 2m the hyperfocal distance or is it one-half the hyperfocal distance? Is there a distance range either side of 2m for acceptable focus?
Follow - up question: If I wanted to use the mathematical formulas to calculate the hyperfocal distance should I use the actual focal length of the lens at 18.5mm or the FF/35mm equivalent 28mm?


The given answer is Square Pyramid but it should be Octahedral according to me.
My doubt is that since they have asked the "Geometry" (not shape), so don't we take the lone pair into account? imo that's the only difference in betweem shape and Geometry and as far as I remember I have studied this in class.
The bigger problem is that it is a previous year JEE Main question and the answer in the final answer key of that year says square pyramid.

British Open back at Royal Portrush and puts on quite a show; J.B. Holmes leads
Published 9:02 pm PDT, Thursday, July 18, 2019
PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland — An emotional opening shot by Darren Clarke. A shocking one by Rory McIlroy.
Tiger Woods had his worst score to start a British Open. Brooks Koepka quickly got into contention again.
Emiliano Grillo made a 1. David Duval made a 14.
The Open returned to Royal Portrush after a 68-year absence and made up for lost time with an unusual amount of theater Thursday. When more than 15 hours of golf before a robust, sellout crowd finally ended, J.B. Holmes was atop the leaderboard at a major for the first time in 11 years.
Even that might have been fitting. The big hitter from a small town in Kentucky had his first taste of links golf at Royal Portrush during a college trip.
Holmes drove the downwind 374-yard fifth hole to 12 feet for a two-putt birdie, and ended with a 5-iron into the wind to 15 feet for a final birdie and a 5-under-par 66. "You just have to accept the conditions over here and not get too greedy," Holmes said.
He had a one-shot lead over Shane Lowry of Ireland, who didn't have the level of expectations or the connection to Royal Portrush like McIlroy, Clarke or native son Graeme McDowell, all of whom grew up in Northern Ireland and hadn't imagined golf's oldest championship returning to their tiny country.

McIlroy was the betting favorite who as a 16-year-old stunned Irish golf with a 61 to set the course record at Royal Portrush in the North of Ireland Amateur. The throaty cheers went silent when his tee shot went left and out of bounds. He went into a bush and had to take a penalty to take it out, and he walked off the first green with a quadruple-bogey 8. McIlroy finished with a triple bogey for a 79. "I'm going to go back and see my family, see my friends, and hopefully, they don't think any less of me after a performance like that today," McIlroy said. "And I'll dust myself off and come back out tomorrow and try to do better."
Woods didn't seem quite as optimistic after a 78, matching his third-worst score in a major.
The Dunluce Links held up beautifully in such lush conditions, and so did the reputation of Northern Ireland's ever-changing coastal weather. There was a blue sky and dark clouds, a strong breeze and a stiff wind, shadows and showers, all within an hour's time.
The large group at 68 included Koepka, who has won three of the past six majors and looked very much capable of adding the third leg of the Grand Slam. Koepka was tied for the lead at one point until he made his lone bogey on the 17th hole. He has been runner-up twice and won the PGA Championship this year. He started the final major in a tie for third after the first round.
Koepka's caddie this week is Ricky Elliott, who grew up at Portrush and knows the course as well as anyone.
"It's easy when he's just standing on the tee telling you to hit it in this spot and I just listen to him," Koepka said. "I don't have to think much. I don't have to do anything. I figure out where the miss is and where I'm trying to put it, and then go from there."
Jon Rahm, a two-time Irish Open winner at nearby Portstewart and in the south at Lahinch two weeks ago, joined Holmes and Webb Simpson as the only players to reach 5-under at any point during the day and finished with a 68.
Duval had hit his worst score in any tournament — 91 — mainly because of the par-5 seventh. He couldn't find two of his tee shots, hit the wrong ball in the process and — with all the penalty shots — had a 14, the second-highest score in 159 years of the British Open.
"Just one of those God-awful nightmare scenarios that happened today," Duval said, "and I happened to be on the end of it."
Forty-one players broke par, and 15 of them were within three shots of the lead.
Clarke turned and applauded the grandstand that filled before his opening tee shot at 6:35 a.m., then shot 71. McDowell wiped a tear from his eye before he teed off, and shot 73.

The Farage Balloon
It's 22 years this month since Michael Howard was put on the spot in a famous encounter over his treatment of the Director of Prisons by Jeremy Paxman on Newsnight. What a different time that was. The scales of accountability then were measured in traces.
Paxman asked Howard the same question countless times ("Did you threaten to overrule him?") in the interview and Michael Howard spent several minutes wriggling like an eel. At no time, though, did he complain about the principle of scrutiny.
It's the sort of head to head that was a familiar sight on TV news in the 70s, 80s and 90s.
On Sunday, Nigel Farage sat down with Andrew Marr. Marr adhered to the tradition and did what he is professionally obliged to do: hold Farage to account for things that he says and has said – and for his plans for the future. Farage was having none of it and was clearly rattled by the line of questioning. The difference was that Farage turned up the foghorn, drowned out Marr at times, and tried to call foul.
At one point, Marr asked Farage where his manifesto is for the European elections. "We don't do manifestos" was Farage's answer.
Manifestos, in politics, are the deal. Manifestos set out what a party pledges to accomplish. They are the documents by which the victors are held to account. Without them, we can have no idea what to expect. Manifestos are compasses. Without them, a country's politics are essentially rudderless. Not having one is akin to expecting a job with no job description.
Farage answers most things, when he does, with nostalgia or a brush off. He evokes an air-brushed, sepia England (he's not much interested in Britain), all pints and leather on willow, all "taking back control". But none of it addresses the challenges of our time: climate, employment, social care, trade, health, enterprise, social cohesion, globalisation, collective responsibility. They're nowhere to be seen.
Politics is all about the now and about the future. For a scrutineer, fitness for purpose, as in any interview situation, is a look at a candidate's past as well as his or her vision for the future.
Farage won't talk about his past. He'll project England's past as a model for the future. That's already dangerous ground in in a world in flux, but worse still, he's glaringly light on specifics and silent on what's outside the exit door. He's only interested in the exit and not at all interested in the detail of the aftermath. Challenge him on the specifics of that and you get absolutely nothing except platitudes, inconsistency and fabrication. It's nissan hut politics.
How can anyone sign up to an empty doctrine? Politics is the hard work of specifics. It isn't an easy trade. All the answers are difficult.
In Farage's case there's nothing there. It's much easier to preach fiction than hard truths. Fiction is infintely malleable and appealing, but it's not true. It's empty. Nature abhors a vacuum.
Sign up to Farage's fictional approach and you'll certainly get nostalgia. It's called 'getting left behind'.

 Dark brown alpacas were roaming at Big Mountain near the Forest Lake area last week. These animals, native to South America, are highly prized for their luxurious, warm and lightweight wool.
Originally Published: February 15, 2011 11:54 a.m.
NAVAJO RESERVATION, Ariz. - You see them here and there, primarily on the Navajo reservation with a few scattered around the Flagstaff area.
This tan colored, beautifully tall animal was with a herd of Navajo sheep, lazily roaming and chewing leisurely on a few blades of prairie grass and taking in the morning sun, seemingly oblivious to the multitude of drivers trying to get a better look at this South American mammal while driving on Highway 264.
Since the 1980s, alpacas and llamas became a formal industry after a small number of these "camelids" were imported from Chile. There is little difference between alpacas and their close relatives the llama. In 1995, a formal registry of these animals was created by what is called the Alpaca Registry Incorporated (ARI), and each registered animal cost about $500 at that time.
By 1998, the American Breeders Association (ABA), was worried that with the new domesticated offspring of the original imports, the market would become saturated, so they closed off additional imports.
Between 1998 and 2007, U.S. alpaca herds grew to almost 100,000 registered and unregistered alpacas and llamas, according to ABA statistics.
A primary reason for raising these animals is their wool, which is extremely valuable in the clothing and fashion industries in both the US and foreign countries. The finest type of alpaca wool, called vicuna or "baby alpaca," is often compared to merino sheep wool because of its softness. Shearing this camelid wool takes special shears, combs and cutters because it is much longer and more fine than sheep wool.
The wool is comprised of very fine, long, stable hairs with a high thermal quality, making it not only very soft, but very warm and lightweight.
Alpacas and llamas are native to the Andes mountains in South America and are one of the world's oldest domesticated breeds of livestock, dating back to the Inca empire. Inca history also used alpacas in their religious ceremonies according to Andean mythology. Incas associated alpacas with a goddess named Pach Mana or "Earth Mother" and they believed that alpacas were a special gift to their people from this goddess.
They are related to Dromedary and Bactrian camels, which are found in Asia and the middle east. Guanocos and vicuna are also found in South America. All of these animals share similar features, including two-toed, padded feet, a split upper lit and an upright walk.
These animals are highly adaptable to almost any climate. They need very little water and are very fertile. Alpacas were used as pack animals to carry large loads of supplies.
There are two breeds of alpacas, the Huacaya and the Suri but they are essentially one official breed. The Suri alpacas are bred for their fleece. Their long, loose hanging wool looks a lot like dreadlocks. Only about 9,000 are currently in the U.S. The Huacaya alpaca has shorter hair and accounts for about 95 percent of all alpacas currently bred in the U.S.
Following the Spanish Conquest, the alpaca population was almost wiped out. About 90 percent of the herds were destroyed by the Spaniards in efforts to subjugate the native peoples, but by the 19th century, alpacas were "rediscovered" by Europeans and played a large role in the American Industrial Revolution. And with the current interest in sustainability and living "green," these animals fit perfectly as they are sustainable, natural, renewable, and very self-sufficient.
Alpacas eat mostly grass and their feet are padded so they don't destroy the ground as they graze. Unlike other domestic animals, alpacas have communal dung piles so their dung can be used as fertilizer and can be easily collected since its already in one pile.
It is advised that if you have to travel with them, they know to lie down in a moving vehicle and should ideally be raised in sets of no smaller than two since they are herd animals. The ABA recommends a minimum of at least three animals in a herd.
Alpacas come in about 22 different colors, ranging from white, fawn, brown, grey and black. With each animal being able to produce about eight pounds of wool a year and with alpaca wool selling for $40 to $50 dollars a pound, they can become a good cash crop.
Some Navajos find that alpacas are good sheepherders along with their sheep dogs.

Biodegradation is degradation caused by biological activity, particularly by enzyme action leading to significant changes in the material's chemical structure. In essence, biodegradable plastics should breakdown cleanly, in a defined time period, to simple molecules found in the environment such as carbon dioxide and water. During this process of biodegradation, the large molecules of the substance are transformed into smaller compounds by enzymes and acids that are naturally produced by microorganisms. Once the molecules are reduced to a suitable size, the substances can be absorbed through the organism cell walls where they are metabolized for energy.
What else did you learn through this project?
I learned that Bioplastic is a type of plastic that is made from natural renewable resources like corn starch, vinegar, and glycerin. This type of plastic is biodegradable rather than plastics derived from petroleum and natural gas that have a lifespan of up to 450 years. Bioplastics are not very popular yet, as of 2014 bioplastics represented on 0.2% of the plastic industry. I also grew in my teamwork and communication skills.
If you were assessing yourself, what grade do you believe you earned?
I believe that I earned an A on this project. Our final product went through critique multiple times and got better and better each time. This showed during the exhibition because guests were engaged with our project and asked personal questions about biodegradation. Guests were able to quickly look at our project and then ask thoughtful questions instead of just a reading a lot of content then getting board and moving to the next exhibit. As well as I was in professional dress and showed up early to make sure that I was ready to present before the start of the exhibition. The only part that I would question if deserves an A is if our project clearly demonstrated our understanding of the two guiding questions. I believe that my group had a good understanding and answer to these two questions however during critique were told to take out the text that answered them because it was too long. However whenever guests asked we were ready with a response.


Spoilers follow for "Marvel's Iron Fist" Season 1, "Marvel's The Defenders" and "Marvel's Luke Cage" Season 2.
The second season of "Marvel's Iron Fist" premiered on Netflix this Friday, September 7, so before all the episodes drop, we figured it was time for a refresher on the world of K'un Lun's protector.
As we learned in Season 1, Danny Rand is the son of wealthy entrepreneurs Wendell and Heather Rand. When his family's plane crashed in the Himalayas, sole-survivor Danny was taken in by the monks of K'un Lun. Learning martial arts over the next fifteen years, Danny soon became K'un Lun's greatest warrior, earning him the mantle and powers of the Immortal Iron Fist.
In the first season, Danny returned to New York to learn the truth about his parents' death. The end of Season 1 found Danny defeating his parents' killer, and former family friend, Harold Meachum.
As we head into "Marvel's Iron Fist" Season 2, here's where we left off with each of the returning characters, including Danny and Colleen Wing's appearances in both "Marvel's The Defenders" and Season 2 of "Marvel's Luke Cage," and Misty Knight, who will be appearing in "Marvel's Iron Fist" this season.
"Marvel's Iron Fist" Season 1 ended with Danny and Colleen discovering K'un Lun seemingly destroyed, sending the duo around the globe to try and find answers in "Marvel's The Defenders." This quest eventually lead them back to New York, where they joined forces with Matt Murdock/Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage, among other allies, to ultimately defeat the Hand at Midland Circle. After Matt Murdock's sacrifice, Danny took on the responsibility and mantle of Manhattan's protector. When he teamed up with Luke Cage during a guest appearance in "Marvel's Luke Cage" Season 2, he seemed to be comfortable in his new role. But can that comfort last?
Colleen Wing was the owner of a martial arts dojo, who befriended Danny and joined him on his adventures. Colleen felt lost at the end of "Marvel's Iron Fist" Season 1. She believed the Hand, who she had trained with, was a force for good in the world when it was just another sect looking for power. After meeting and falling in love with Danny, Colleen was able to find a new purpose in taking down the Hand, eventually getting retribution against her former master, Bakuto. She has also found a new friend in Detective Misty Knight, helping Misty work through the trauma of losing her arm.
A fellow student in K'un Lun, alongside Danny, Davos lost out to Danny for the mantle of the Iron Fist. Davos let his jealousy and feelings of betrayal finally get the best of him, denouncing Danny as the Iron Fist for abandoning his post in K'un Lun. After leaving Danny and Colleen to fight the Hand on their own, Davos eventually met up with Joy Meachum, working to convince her that the only way they could both move forward was with the death of Danny Rand.
Ward Meachum was both Danny's friend and rival from when they were children. Arrogant and battling a drug addiction, Ward was initially contemptuous towards Danny when he returned. But after putting an end to the terror that was his father, Harold, Ward found himself at a crossroads. Now heading Rand Enterprises on his own, he's back on good terms with Danny, and looking towards a more redemptive future.
Ward's sister, Joy was Danny's best friend when they were younger and initially more welcoming to Danny when he returned to their lives. But even as Ward attempted to eventually get his life back on track, the secrets he kept from Joy left her feeling betrayed, and in the wake of both discovering her father was still alive, and then losing him again, Joy left New York. She eventually met up with Davos, who attempted to convince her that Danny Rand was the cause of all her problems and that they must kill him.
Appearing in "Marvel's Iron Fist" for the first time in Season 2, NYPD detective Misty Knight is no stranger to fans of "Marvel's Luke Cage" and "Marvel's The Defenders." After losing her arm facing the Hand in the battle at Midland Circle, Misty found herself trying to come to terms with her new life. Colleen eventually helped Misty regain her focus and confidence as one of the NYPD's best detectives, while Danny gifted her with a new, cybernetic arm. After assisting Luke Cage in taking down Bushmaster and Mariah Stokes, she was left pondering what the future held.

Q: Iterate through Array and use variables in ruby Hey I am an absolute ruby noob and hope you could help me.
I want to do a lot of SQL-querys with different departments (Department A,B, C....)
I want to save the departments to an array and iteratethrough it, use loops and so on.
This is my old code:
#!/usr/bin/ruby
require 'mysql2'
##Connect to my Database
db = Mysql2::Client.new(:host => "localhost", :username => "MyUserName", :password => "MyPassword", :port => 3306, :database => "MyTest-Database" )

#Mysql querys
sql_A= "SELECT RMKPI FROM `Table1` WHERE `Department` = 'A' "
sql_B= "SELECT RMKPI FROM `Table1` WHERE `Department` = 'B' "

#Execute the querys
results_PO = db.query(sql_A)
results_DevMuM = db.query(sql_A)

This is my Pseudocode:
Array1[A,B,...]
loop
   sql_Array1[x]="SELECT ...WHERE `Department`= Array1[x]"
   Array1[x+1]

How can I do this?
Thanks a lot

A: DEPARTMENTS = %w|A B C|
results = DEPARTMENTS.map do |department|
  query = "SELECT RMKPI FROM `Table1` WHERE `Department` = '#{department}'"
  [department, db.query(query)]
end.to_h

Now you have a hash of { departments ⇒ results }. To access results for a given department, use:
results['A']

Sidenote: I would suggest you to google for ActiveRecord or any other ROM to simplify and make safer the work with database queries.

Top 40 Country Songs for February 2017
New country songs from Florida Georgia Line, Lady Antebellum and Sam Hunt debut on the February 2017 Top 40 Country Songs list, but No. 1 goes to one of the most reliable hits of the year so far. It's easy to imagine this artist nabbing some serious hardware come awards show season.

Q: How do I install a non-PAE kernel on PAE-enabled hardware for Ubuntu 12.04? I need to install a non-PAE kernel for a 64-bit machine that supports PAE. 32-bit 12.04 currently comes with a PAE kernel but I need to get a non-PAE kernel. An older version of Ubuntu is also acceptable as long as it runs in 32-bit mode.

A:
32-bit 12.04 currently comes with a PAE kernel but I need to get a non-PAE kernel.

*

*It's as simple as doing this on your existing 32-bit 12.04 installation:

*

*sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic

*followed by a this to remove the PAE kernel (so the system boots from the non-PAE by default):

*

*sudo apt-get remove linux-image-generic-pae

*Alternatively, comment out the GRUB_HIDDEN lines in /etc/default/grub and run sudo update-grub to display the grub menu upon boot, from which you can select the kernel to use.

*If you want to install a non-PAE kernel as part of a new installation, start with Xubuntu or Lubuntu 12.04 32-bit, both of which come with the non-PAE kernel. Once running, you can run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop to get the full Unity desktop experience.

*In general, the two common kernel suffixes for 12.04 are:

*

*-generic (non-PAE for 32-bit; standard for 64-bit)

*-generic-pae (PAE and default for 32-bit only)

A: I couldn't install non-pae kernel with this command (from previous answer):
sudo apt-get install linux-image-$(uname -r)-generic

But on output was a kernel version, in my case 3.2.0-27, so I modified the command:
sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.2.0-27-generic

And it worked!

            });
        // change the query in the layer to update the basemap
        layer.setQuery(query);
    });
}

A: You're probably needing layer.setSQL(query). As the error says, setQuery is not a function in CartoDB.js.
Documentation for setSQL is here and here.

Q: Query ADX table name dynamically I have a need to be able to query Azure Data Explorer (ADX) tables dynamically, that is, using application-specific metadata that is also stored in ADX.
If this is even possible, the way to do it seems to be via the table() function.  In other words, it feels like I should be able to simply write:
let table_name = <non-trivial ADX query that returns the name of a table as a string>;
table(table_name) | limit 10

But this query fails since I am trying to pass a variable to the table() function, and "a parameter, which is not scalar constant string can't be passed as parameter to table() function".  The workaround provided doesn't really help, since all the possible table names are not known ahead of time.
Is there any way to do this all within ADX (i.e. without multiple queries from the client) or do I need to go back to the drawing board?

A: if you know the desired output schema, you could potentially achieve that using union (note that in this case, the result schema will be the union of all tables, and you'll need to explicitly project the columns you're interested in)
let TableA = view() { print col1 = "hello world"};
let TableB = view() { print col1 = "goodbye universe" };
let LabelTable = datatable(table_name:string, label:string, updated:datetime)
[
    "TableA", "MyLabel", datetime(2019-10-08),
    "TableB", "MyLabel", datetime(2019-10-02)
];
let GetLabeledTable = (l:string)
{
    toscalar(
        LabelTable
        | where label == l
        | order by updated desc
        | limit 1
    )
};
let table_name = GetLabeledTable('MyLabel');
union withsource = T *
| where T == table_name
| project col1
