What is 'Rise of the Moors,' the R.I. group that broadcast live from the I-95 standoff?
By Laura Crimaldi and Amanda Milkovits Globe Staff,Updated July 3, 2021, 12:39 p.m.
A heavy police presence assembled at a staging area at Lake Quannapopwitt as a standoff was taking place on the highway Saturday morning with police and armed men.John Tlumacki Globe Staff/The Boston Globe
They call themselves the "Rise of the Moors," a Rhode Island-based group whose travel through Massachusetts Saturday shut down a portion of Interstate 95 and resulted in the arrest of 11 men who authorities described as being heavily armed.
In videos posted to social media, members of the "Rise of the Moors," are all men who dressed in military gear and displayed military-style weapons and Morocco's flag. During their hours-long standoff in Wakefield, the group's leader identified himself as Jamhal Talib Abdullah Bey and said he was a US Marine Corps veteran.
Driving a van and a pickup truck, the group said it had pulled over to refuel when Massachusetts State Police approached their vehicles early Saturday morning. The vehicles were carrying fuel and camping gear, according to Bey, who said the men were headed to private land in Maine to train and brought their own fuel because members feared they would cause alarm if they stopped at a gas station.

A weekday briefing from veteran Rhode Island reporters, focused on the things that matter most in the Ocean State.
In video livestreamed from the scene early Saturday morning, Bey said the group's members believe they are foreign nationals in the United States who were traveling through Massachusetts under a Moroccan flag attached to their vehicles.
A post shared by Stopcalling Moors -BLACK- 🇲🇦 (@moorishaamericanarms)
Using a megaphone to amplify his voice, another man said their detention by police officers violated an 18th-century treaty between the United States and Morocco, according to one video.
"We choose to continue on our peaceful journey. Please do not infringe. We can settle this in court peacefully," said the other man. "Please do not be a threat to us."
Mark Pitcavage, a senior research fellow at the Anti-Defamation League's Center on Extremism, said "Rise of the Moors" is a relatively new and fairly small group that shares beliefs with sovereign citizens, a movement mostly composed of white people. The "Rise of the Moors" members in the social media videos are Black men.
"Rise of the Moors" has distinguished itself, Pitcavage said, by demonstrating an interest in paramilitary activity.
"Many sovereign citizen groups are armed, but very few of them actually engage in paramilitary activity like a militia group would, their sister movement," he said. "But this appears to be one of the rare exceptions."
Groups like the "Rise of the Moors" are an extension of the sovereign citizen movement and their adherents have formed organizations in cities along the East Coast, Pitcavage said.
The "Rise of the Moors" have drawn some of their beliefs from a religious sect known as the Moorish Science Temple, he said.
The "Rise of the Moors's" website includes details about the life of Noble Drew Ali, who established the Moorish Science Temple of America in Chicago during the early 20th-century and is credited with founding the country's first mass Muslim movement, according to a press release about a 2020 Ali biography.
According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Moorish sovereign citizen movement includes independent groups and individuals scattered throughout the United States.
The group's website describes its organization as a collective of "Moorish Americans," and its members believe they are the "original sovereigns of this land — America." The website said the group is based in Pawtucket, R.I., and that its members refuse to pay taxes because they "are not represented within their body politic."
"Rise of the Moors" claims to own a vacant residence on Broadway in Pawtucket, according to legal documents created by the organization and signed by Bey in 2019. The group is also soliciting donations, claiming on its website that it has "successfully claimed an abandoned home for our benefit as a people."
In court papers, Midfirst Bank said it owns the property and has sued the "Rise of the Moors" in Providence County Superior Court to clear the title on the residence.
During the standoff, the men detained on I-95 vehemently denied being antigovernment or sovereign citizens.
"I reassured them that we are not Black-identity extremists. I reassured them that we are not anti-police," Bey said in one video. "I reassured them that we are not antigovernment. I reassured them that these men here will not be pointing guns at them. I reassured them that we are trying to come to a peaceful resolution."
Bey cited a Supreme Court case, Young v. The State of Hawaii, which he said authorized the "Rise of the Moors" to bear arms.
"Simply bearing arms is not a crime," he said.
Christine Sarteschi, an associate professor of social work and criminology at Chatham University in Pittsburgh, said the group's legal citations are self-serving.
"They're trying to pick things out that they think will get them out of trouble, but it never works and it's contradictory to what they believe, which is that the United States has no authority over them," she said.
Roadside interactions between officers and sovereign citizens are fraught and potentially dangerous, Sarteschi said, because many sovereign citizens don't have government documents like driver's licenses or motor vehicle registrations.
"Even the basic, 'Can I see your ID,' causes problems right at the get-go and so that tends to escalate," she said. "This is quite dangerous."
The timing of the group's travel on Independence Day weekend is worrisome, Sarteschi said.
"I'm so thankful that nothing bad happened because I think it could have went a different way," she said.
On Friday, the group published one photograph on Instagram showing members gathered in front of Providence City Hall and another photograph of one member who appeared to be Bey shaking hands with Frank J. Williams, a retired Rhode Island Supreme Court justice, with the caption, "Since when do Judges shake hands with domestic terrorist's?" Another showed three men, wearing fezzes, at the counter of a gun store: "At the gun range with nothing but nationality cards and fezzes."
On Saturday, the leader of the Rhode Island State Police, Colonel James Manni, said he is well aware of the group and a member with ties to Rhode Island.
Rhode Island troopers have been in constant contact with their counterparts in Massachusetts, Manni said.
At a news conference, Massachusetts State Police Colonel Christopher Mason declined to discuss the group, citing the organization's broadcasts on social media.
In another video posted to YouTube, Bey spoke on his cellphone to an unidentified law enforcement officer, using the speaker phone.
"We're not going to threaten you guys, we're not going to coerce you guys, we're not going to make you guys feel threatened in any type of way," Bey said.
During his phone conversation, Bey said his men grabbed weapons Saturday morning on I-95 when they were approached by law enforcement because they felt threatened.
Bey asked to be served a summons, saying law enforcement officials could deliver the summons to a table that he offered to set up in the middle of the highway.
He expressed concern about being arrested and fingerprinted, which he described as a form of self-incrimination. He said he and his men wanted to go home.
"I want my men to be safe, alive, keep and bear their arms," he said.
Spencer Dew, a visiting assistant professor of religious studies at Kenyon College, said some observers will see an "American racial double standard," in the arrests because the Rise of the Moors members in the social media videos are Black men.
"I've sure seen a lot of people on the news, dressed in military uniforms with weapons, talking about citizenship, and I don't see a lot of those people getting arrested," Dew said.
In 2019, members of the group filed a lawsuit against the Providence Police Department, alleging officers violated their rights by interrupting a lecture at their temple on Acorn Street, The Providence Journal reported.
The lawsuit accused Providence officers of entering the temple without a warrant on Oct. 5, 2019 while Bey was addressing a gathering with a semi-automatic weapon strapped around his neck and a Glock 22 on his waist, the Journal reported.

Fantasy Hockey Preview: Pittsburgh Penguins
The Metro division is going to be tough, and the Penguins will miss some key faces to start the season. Still, there some names you need to focus in on for your fantasy team - and one name might be worth taking a risk on as a bounce-back candidate.
Jason Chen
Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports
Are you ready? We're back to the 82-game regular season format, which means more joy and also more pain. It's a roller coaster of emotions every season because there are always surprises, and the good ones can make us feel like geniuses while the bad ones feel like belly flopping into an empty pool.
But we're all gluttons for punishment, so we might as well stay as informed as we can to later rationalize why the fantasy hockey gods hate you. Yes, they specifically hate you.
Here is your fantasy outlook for all 32 teams. The annual Pool Guide is available now and also check out Matt Larkin's Top 250 Players for the upcoming season.
2021-22 Fantasy Outlook: Pittsburgh Penguins
Last season: Sidney Crosby finished fourth in Hart Trophy voting and did a lot of the heavy lifting with Evgeni Malkin missing half the season due to injury (again), leading the team in scoring with 62 points and accounting for over 40 percent of the team's total faceoff wins. Jake Guentzel and Kris Letang managed to stay healthy all season and Bryan Rust's second consecutive 20-goal season in a shortened season covered up some questionable defensive depth and unreliable goaltending from Tristan Jarry and Casey DeSmith. Kasperi Kapanen's start was a little delayed, but both he and Jeff Carter welcome additions. It was a fairly successful season considering the tumultuous and sudden resignation of GM Jim Rutherford a couple weeks into the season.
The playoffs were a completely different story. They entered as the top seed, winning their first division banner since 2014 and extended their playoff streak to 15 seasons in a tight race, but they were matched up against the rival Islanders and made another early exit for the third straight season. Despite winning the season series 6-2, the Isles have been the Pens' kryptonite in the playoffs, defeating them in eight of their last 10 games dating back to 2019. Jarry allowed 21 goals on a .888 Sv% and the team entered offseason with a lot uncertainty with a relatively new front office with Ron Hextall as the new GM and Brian Burke as the president of hockey operations, who vowed that the Pens would play "ugly hockey."
Best option: Jake Guentzel, LW
At the very least, Guentzel will be healthy. THN's Pool Guide had Crosby pegged to score 92 points, but his status for the season opener is questionable due to wrist surgery. Malkin is projected to score 50, but his diagnosis was known before the season and his point totals were adjusted accordingly.
That leaves Guentzel at the top with 73 projected points, a total that he could possibly surpass if he can maintain his current point-per-game pace over the past three seasons. He ranks 18th in the league with 83 goals scored during that span, but on a goals-per-game basis, Guentzel ranks 12th with 0.47 goals per game, tied with Kyle Connor and just below Mikko Rantanen. He's not being mentioned in the same breath, but Guentzel should be one of the most reliable goal scorers this fantasy season (assuming he stays healthy).
Many fantasy managers are pretty bullish on him; Guentzel is getting drafted early in the third rounds of most 12-team drafts based on Yahoo's ADP (30.4), suggesting that he could finish in the top 25 in league scoring, and he certainly has the ability to do so. His shooting percentage is consistently higher than average, which is a good indicator that his 40-goal season in 2019 was absolutely no fluke, and that some bad injury luck is why he's fallen off the radar a little bit.
Hidden gem: Bryan Rust, LW/RW
Rust is coming off two excellent seasons during which he was on pace for at least 30 goals both times. He's 29 years old and an unrestricted free agent next summer, and it might be his last chance to cash in on a big money, long-term contract. He's kind of a forgotten wheel among first-line players because Crosby and Guentzel usually get all the attention, and he's definitely not a passenger on that line.
In fact, according to naturalstattrick.com, Crosby and Guentzel's 5v5 CF% numbers dip considerably when they're not on the ice with Rust, who also ranked second on the team (min. 20 GP) behind Jared McCann. His ADP of 109.7 in Yahoo leagues seems rather low considering he's a proven first-line player and right wing is a rather shallow position. Both older veterans who are starting to fall off a little bit, such as Blake Wheeler and Alexander Radulov, and riskier young players, such as Martin Necas, are all getting drafted ahead of Rust.
Goalies: There is no help coming. Louis Domingue was an early September signing to shore up depth, and beyond the career journeyman backup it's Alex D'Orio, who split time between the AHL and ECHL last season, and rookie Filip Lindberg, a Finnish goalie signed as a free agent this past summer following three seasons at UMass-Amherst.
That means they're betting on a big bounce-back season from Jarry, who had a very poor start to the season – a 6-3 loss to the rival Flyers in the opener and getting pulled 11 minutes into his second game, also against the Flyers – and even at his best never seemed to keep your confidence for very long.
It's a good thing the Pens don't seem to really trust DeSmith, either, who didn't play a single minute in the playoffs even when Jarry was struggling. That alone is a hint that Jarry will still have tons of fantasy value this coming season because the Pens seem committed to letting him work it out, making it unlikely for him to lose the starting job barring a monumental collapse. Starting goaltenders with heavy workloads are very scarce these days, so Jarry should easily be a top-15 fantasy goalie simply through playing volume. His 112.9 ADP on Yahoo just seems far too low; even if you're not convinced of his ability, the Pens are still a solid team and he's no less risky than goalies in a timeshare, such as Jack Campbell (66.1) and Petr Mrazek (83.7), or even Carey Price (61.6) and Jordan Binnington (86.1).
Outlook: The Metro is going to be tough; the Caps, Isles and Canes will all be vying for playoff spots, and the Rangers, Flyers and Devils should all improve. With Crosby and Malkin absent to start the season and McCann traded to the Leafs, it will force the Pens to start the season with Jeff Carter as their No. 1 center. He looked rejuvenated following his trade from L.A., but the 36-year-old is ill-suited for this role and the Pens' top-six depth is not really a strength. If they can ride that out until Crosby returns, the Pens should have a good chance to make the playoffs, and both Hextall and Burke will surely be aggressive in making sure their Cup window stays open as long as Crosby is still on their roster.
Malkin, on the other hand, is watching his fantasy value crater in the latter stages of his career due to injury. He's still a great option for points when healthy, but he rarely is these days and the aspects of his game that always needed improvement – mainly defensive play – are unlikely to ever do so at this point. He's a player you'd be glad to stash in fantasy, but in most cases should be drafted after Guentzel, Rust and Letang. Malkin's injury will cost him roughly one-quarter of the season, and that's without any setbacks, so depending on your league's settings could even finish the season with fewer points than Carter, Kapanen and Zucker. When it comes to the Pens in fantasy, focus on that top line of Crosby, Guentzel and Rust, Letang on defense and make sure Jarry doesn't slip too far in the draft.

Opinion: What to Make About McDavid's Comments on Evander Kane

The Photocopy Club
"Basically we want the show to be like a giant zine that everyone can take a page from." - The Photocopy Club
By Deb A.
Those who want to see photographs on paper rather than on a screen have several options. At one extreme, there's a beautiful, 'sumo-sized' 476-page coffee table book of Annie Leibovitz's photography (complete with tripod to spare your arms and lap the stress of holding the massive tome) for $2,500 or $5,000, depending on the edition; or an Anselm Adams original photograph for anywhere from $8,000 to $50,000. At the other end of the spectrum, there's The Photocopy Club.
The Photocopy Club offers "xerography for photographers". Founded in Brighton by photographer Matt Martin, The Photocopy Club is based on two main principles: photos are better when they're printed, as opposed to googled; and we should all be able to put a print we love on our wall.
"With art becoming increasingly only affordable by the rich, photocopying seemed like the obvious medium to turn this on its head," Mr. Martin told Dazed, "it's about allowing people to own art again."
The Photocopy Club's exhibitions throughout England and the rest of the world are a sea of black and white photocopies that are more evocative of a dorm room than a private gallery. The images are sent in by post from photographers around the world, often with notes of support for the project.
Visitors can buy a photocopy for £5... and feel secure that whether they decide to frame it or put it up with sticky tack, they've done the right thing.
The Photocopy Club returns to its home town of Brighton in February with an exhibition called What Brighton Means To Me.

There are a lot of people looking to make money in real estate -- quickly and with no money down. Real estate foreclosures are said to be an instant success. Are they?
Foreclosure properties have the potential to be a good place to invest for exponential growth or loss. There are some situations out there for little or no money down, but you should take some precautions because foreclosed properties come with significant risks.
There are many ways you can invest in foreclosed properties. The most popular way is to purchase a property, fix it up and rent it out, creating a positive monthly cash flow. The investor becomes a landlord, and assumes the responsibility of an investment property owner.
The second way to make money is to seek out foreclosures or fixer-uppers, buy them, invest in repairs and remodels and then sell them at a profit.
The third way is to buy a nice foreclosure that is underpriced and sell it immediately at a higher value. This often comes through selling at a higher value through a take back. For example, you buy a $100,000 house at a foreclosure for $50,000. You pay 10% down and create a new mortgage for $45,000. You then turn and sell the property for $80,000 with 100% seller financing.
Underpricing the house pulls in a buyer quickly. By taking a promissory note for $80,000, you have now created a $35,000 note for yourself. The buyer pays you on the $80,000 and you pay on the original $45,000 note.
If you are paying 8% interest on a 30 year mortgage, and the buyer is paying you 9.5% on a 30 year mortgage, you will be making around $306 a month. If the borrower stays in the house for 30 years, you will make $88,295 in interest and $30,000 in capital gains after paying the interest on the first note. And all you originally spent was a $5,000 down payment.
The downside is that not all mortgages allow an owner to do this. Most loans today contain a "due-on-sale" clause, meaning that if you sell the property, you must pay off the mortgage immediately.
But before you start out on any real estate investment adventure, here is some advice.
Make sure that your spouse or other investors understands exactly what will and could happen. You are entering a life of property management. Calls in the night from tenants and other risks are commonplace.
You should take the time to become well educated. Don't just read one column and decide this is the time to start bidding on properties. There are plenty of real estate agents who would be happy to talk with you about the world of foreclosure properties. There are many books that will help you learn the intricacies of investing.
You have to realize that not all foreclosures are good deals. Not all foreclosed properties sell for undervalue. A buyer can always default on owner-financing. Most loans today don't allow you to sell a home without paying off the loan. You will face repair cost, tenants who don't pay their rent, damaged property, changing interest rates and taxes.
If making money of foreclosures was easy and a sure bet every time, everyone would sink their retirements in it. But it isn't easy. Remember that it is a gamble. Don't worry, there will always be another foreclosure. Take your time and really research what you plan to do. With high sales prices on homes, we'll be seeing more foreclosures up for auction in the future.

Laurent Ferrier Galet Classic Tourbillon Double Spiral – Reviewing an Understated Masterpiece (Photos, Specs and Price)
We've been reviewing what is arguably the most understated wrist watch. We're used to explaining high prices to people when they spot something extravagant on our wrist. In this case it was more difficult to explain, until the watch was turned over to show that stunning movement, featuring a tourbillon with double spiral. While the average watch-person (is that a word?) hardly understands what a tourbillon is, or does, try explaining a tourbillon with two spirals, and that's exactly what we're going to do. However the Laurent Ferrier Galet Classic Tourbillon Double Spiral holds so much more to justifiy its price. Ultimate refinement, the epitome of a dress watch, and understated to the max.
My wrist has had the pleasure of wearing… err… testing the most phenomenal timepieces of modern times. Whether it be the outgoing Roger Dubuis Pulsion Skeleton Flying Tourbillon, the quirky Hautlence HL Ti, or the mighty Lange & Söhne Double Split, the classy Datograph Up/Down, the classic Lange 1, or the futuristic De Bethune DB28 Black Matte. From very classic looks to very outgoing, and usually people do immediately expect an equally impressive price tag. In this case however, the watch in question is so incredibly understated that it really needs much more explaining. When I explained about the tourbillon, at least watch aficionados understood – it's not a normal tourbillon, but one with two spirals that 'breathe' in the same rhythm, yet they are attached exactly opposite and this (theoretically) eliminates any timing-imperfections due to the pinning position of the spring(s) or the bend of the terminal curve. In other words, it needs a knowledgeable person to appreciate such technicalities to the fullest.
We could easily spend an entire paragraph on the 'overall appearance' however let's suffice with the fact that it is THE most understated watch that I know off. It is really the ultimate dress watch: clean, classic, time only, made in white gold and featuring a pale white enamel dial with sleek Roman numerals. It comes on a nice hand-stitched, mildly padded, alligator strap that is closed with a white gold pin buckle. Nothing outrageous, no crazy stuff. Until you flip it over and see what's ticking inside.
Let's keep this paragraph short 'n sweet. It's a round white gold watch, that measures 41 mm in diameter and 12.50 mm in height (including the domed spherical sapphire crystal, while the metal alone measures 9.50 mm in height), and it comes with a two-part white enamel dial. As already mentioned, the Galet Classic Tourbillon Double Spiral features a tourbillon with double spiral. Not your ordinary tourbillon, however later more about this. The watch has a sapphire crystal case back, through which you can see the beautifully finished movement.
This is actually not the kind of watch that can be described by a list of features. This is the kind of watch that has to be worn, observed from close-by, you have to handle it, feel it. The more you look at it, the more details you will notice that are just exquisite. Everything is understated, including the superbly refined lines of the case, the lugs and the shape of the crown. As said, this is not the kind of watch for a list of mind-blowing specs and features, this is the kind of watch that you have to experience.
The Galet Classic features an enamel dial, actually a two-part enamel dial, because the small second sub dial is slightly lowered with respect to the main dial. Since the process of creating an enamel dial is quite delicate – in the process more dials fail than get through – and it is not possible to create one dial with two levels, in enamel that is. The only way to create a multi-layer enamel dial, is by 'inserting' a smaller dial into an aperture in the main dial. You'll see a metal rim around the small seconds sub dial.
Since the enamel dial is rather fragile, the edge of the aperture is fragile as well. This metal rim 'protects' the edge and this is the classic way to insert another level into an enamel dial. The hour markers, sleek and long Roman numerals, are hand-painted on the dial. On the dial's perimeter is a rail track minute index, and similarly, on the perimeter of the seconds sub dial are short black stripes as seconds indices, intermittent with five-second markers in red.
"TOURBILLON DOUBLE SPIRAL" is printed, in a beige/gold colour, just below the centre and above the small seconds sub dial. Above the centre is the brand's name and home town (Genève) printed in black. The hands are just perfect in length; the hour hand just reaches to 'touch' the hour markers, while the minute hand 'touches' the rail track minute index. These are details that might sound like something you would expect to see on every high-end watch, however you'd be surprised to see how many brands forget such details; important details in my book!
The hour and minute hand are so-called "assegai-shaped" meaning they resemble a spear head. All three hands, including the small second hand, are executed in 18K white gold. The second hand is a baton-shaped hand, with a counterweight. The hands are beautifully rounded and polished by hand and look just awesome.
Case and strap
The white gold case is just exquisite. On first glance you might not see what I mean, and honestly, neither did I. When you spend more time with this timepiece you'll see so many small, but very pleasing details that take this watch to another level. Nearly impossible to catch on photo, because I'm talking about a specific curve in the case side; a curve that can only be made and finished by hand. Also the flatted/roundish (they call it ball shaped) crown for instance, which looks like it's in similar proportions as the entire case, yet much smaller. It is actually a bit 'chubby' case, however that is exactly what allowed the folks at Laurent Ferrier to do such magnificent finishing and create those lovely curves. As said, impossible to catch on photo, however I can assure you that after handling quite a few high-end watches, this one arguably features the most 'seductive' shapes and curves. Just look at it from various angles…
It is also not the smallest case, and when we would be very strict, it would not qualify as a classic dress watch. With a case measuring 41 mm in diameter and 12.50 mm in height (including a domed spherical crystal) is would be slightly too big and certainly too thick. However with its shapes and proportions, it is actually the epitome of a dress watch. Moreover, it wears very comfortable and due to size and weight you know that you're wearing a very precious timepiece.
Movement calibre LF619.01
Now the movement, there's the part of this gem that does immediately gets the oooohhh's and aaaahhh's. It is indeed a superbly finished movement and especially the tourbillon cage and bridge are absolutely stunning. You can easily recognize the large main spring barrel, and the gears that lead the energy towards the tourbillon, where it will be released at a pace of 3Hz or 21,600 vibrations per hour. The main spring barrel holds enough energy for 80 hours of autonomy when fully wound.
As you can see, the movement fills the case pretty well. No movement spacer rings, no empty space around the movement, so certainly no small movement in a big case. That's a sign of Haute Horlogerie, or at least that should be a sign of proper high-end watchmaking (unfortunately there are still high-end brands that serve a small movement in a large case, often with a big spacer ring around it to make it fit in the oversize case). Calibre LF619.01 measures 14 ligne or 31.60 mm in diameter and is 5.57 mm thick. It isn't a small movement, however that would be nearly impossible with that tourbillon with two spirals.
The spirals are banked opposite, and the potential chronometric divergency due to the banking and terminal curve, should be leveled out. That entire set of two spirals inside a tourbillon cage, make a full rotation in 60 seconds, and that also has its positive influence on chronometric precision.
There's simply a lot to look at. The movement comprises 23 jewels so all pivots, gears and what more, rotate without friction. The bridges, which are very beautifully designed, are all hand finished. Côte de Genève striping, beveled and polished edges, the main plate is adorned with pèrlage, and the gears and gear spokes are all finished by hand. The movement's design is just lovely, and the finishing is of the very highest level possible; the works!
Conclusion – Laurent Ferrier Galet Classic Tourbillon Double Spiral
This is probably the most understated dress watch on the market right now. No showing off, this simply isn't the watch to impress the average watch aficionado. No, this is the kind of watch that will impress those in the know and it will impress them massively!
The Laurent Ferrier Galet Classic is one for gentlemen who prefer to 'fly under the radar' while they know what is on their wrist and enjoy the feeling of the ticking escapement and rotating tourbillon with double spiral. With a price of CHF 180,000 Swiss Francs it certainly isn't a watch for everyone. However those who can afford a beauty like this, they know that they have something extremely special, and quite rare.
Ultra understated
Superb movement finishing
A feast to observe the movement, and especially the tourbillon, through a good loupe (try loupe system!)
Although it looks like a simple round watch, you will see new beautiful and elegant details every time you look at it. This watch could be boring, but is exactly the opposite.
The case could be smaller and thinner, although its size never bothered me while wearing the watch
Personally we would prefer blue second markers, instead of red (big deal, right?)
Can't think of anything else…

Simon Morgan says:
Seconded on the review. While I both love and admire Laurent Ferrier's designs, I will never find meaning behind a hidden tourbillon. The whole design point of such a complication (leaving aside any 'benefit' to chronometric accuracy) is to showcase the watchmakers talent and artistry, and to that end concealing such a thing to me at least makes no sense at all. Show them, or don't bother with them at all.

Labid ben Rabi'a () était un poète arabe de l'époque pré-islamique, qui aurait vécu de 560 à 661

Biographie
Labid appartenait à la tribu des Beni'Amir ben Sa'sa'a ; il est décrit comme un guerrier valeureux et généreux, défenseur des siens. Ses textes mettent en scène de nombreuses batailles. Ses talents de poète lui servent également à la diplomatie : proche des ghassanides, il put cependant éviter que le roi lakhmide en place, d'abord favorable aux Beni Asad, ne prenne parti contre eux.

Lui et les siens se convertirent à l'islam vers 629 ; il renonça alors à la poésie. Il se serait éteint à Koufa, âgé de plus de cent ans.

Extrait
Voici, dans sa mu'allaqât, deux petits extraits traduits par Pierre Larcher qui montrent l'importance qu'il accorde à la tribu (v. 81-82).

Chaque peuple a sa loi et, pour sa loi, un guide!

Ils ne sont pas flétris ni leur geste abolie
Leur patience, avec la passion, ne fléchit pas!

Jama masjid area is foodie's paradise. Everyone who loves kebabas and biryanis and niharis must have been to this walled city atleast once, to enjoy the delicious mughlai street foods. Yesterday, couple of us went to jama masjid to savor some mouth watering food during ramzan.
There are various joints in jama masjid and everyone has their own favorites. You might not completely agree with the details shared here ,as everyone has their own preferences, but this list is based on my own experiences. I have been visiting jama masjid for quite some time now and have tried number of places. Here are my recommendations based on my own personal experiences. Please note that these kebabs and tikkas and biryanis are buffs(Buffalo meat) and if you like them then you must try.
So here is how I start when I go to Jama masjid.
I start my journey with Lalu kababee, opposite to jama masjid gate no1, serves amazing boti kebabs and seekh kebabs. Both boti and seekh kebabs are buff meats and are served with onion and green chutney. Kebabs were soft and succulent and juicy and were delicious. Boti kebabs were good too. And in the adjoining shop we also had shami kebabs that were extremely soft, delicious and melted in mouth.
Word of caution – Don't get carried away and Don't stuff yourself here as there is more to explore.
Next was Anmol chicken – this is very unique grilled butter chicken and can be found only in jama masjid area. Chicken pieces grilled on charcoal and then dipped in butter and cream and served with onion and green chutney. They are absolutely yumm, perfectly grilled and very fresh.
Your next stop should be Aslam chicken. This is just opposite to jama masjid gate no 1 . There is a lane that goes towards matia mahal Follow that road and after approx. 400 mts, on your left, you will be able to locate aslam chicken. Aslam chicken serves the same grilled butter chicken as Anmol and they are equally good.
Next stop and my personal favourite is Rahim cycle wala at chitli kaba chowk. The guy who used to sell amazing curries on his cycle, now has a stall with seating arrangement. He serves amazing magaz curry(brain curry ) and keema. One must try his mirchi keema and brain curry with roomali roti or khameri roti.
Walk towards chitli kabar and after approx. 200 mtr, on left, there is small lane where a stout guy sells biryanis. He is known as pehelwan biryani wala or manpasand biryani wala. His achari beef biryani is amazing, – little spicy and little tangy. Para boiled rice cooked with beef meats, is really delicious and you will love it.
Move further after 3-4 shops and then halt at haji shabrati nihari wale. His brain curry(goat) and beef nihari is something to die for. Soft and succulent beef meats cooked to perfection – You will end up ignoring the quantity of oil J . You must try them and also try their sheermal or sweet bread.
Now move further aprrox 500 mts in the same narrow lane and you will find – Taufeeq biryani wala. Taufeeq used to work with pehelwan earlier and now he has his own biryani shop. His biryani is quite good and infact, I preferred his biryani over pehelwans.
There are still plenty of places left in the by lanes of jama masjid. Best way to explore is to visit regularly and try a new place each time.
If you are visiting jama masjid and discover a new eating joint and loved the food, please do share it with us.


Seeing my London home of 8 years empty reminds me of the first few days when I first purchased it. Brand new, with building works only just complete, the flat was a wonderfully polished open plan space. I couldn't believe my luck when I first moved in, moving from an old cramped Victorian terrace in Camberwell to this über chic space fit for a bachelor. At first of course there was no furniture, and it is of those times that I am now reminded – sitting on the floor with only a television for company; watching the Eurovision Song Contest with my bottom shifting uncomfortably on the new wooden floors.
The years in between have been perhaps the most formative of my life. It was in that flat that I graduated from my Masters and qualified as a barrister; when I was put through the hell of pupillage and ditched so unjustifiably at the end of it; when I experienced the elation of a new job in government and where I came home two years later knowing that I needed a new challenge; when I met the love of my life, experienced the birth of two nephews and the death of their father; it was where I had the accident that changed me forever, and where I used the compensation monies to forge a future for the better.
It is on that future that I now embark, although sadly that future must be without my beloved home. Packing up this place, the guardian of so many happy experiences, has undoubtedly been the hardest part about this move, but as each box was packed, a little bit of home disappeared. Now standing empty, it's just a flat again – no longer my home. That home is currently making its way to Palma de Mallorca in cardboard boxes, and I cannot wait to get there now and unpack it.
Packing up and getting Segunda Guernica out of the building!
But for now, I thought I would mark this passing with a few photos of my flat at its best, together with some views of the move. For this is truly the end of the era, but only the next phase of my life. And The Daily Norm is coming with me for the ride – so see you in Mallorca!
← Intelligent Insight: Grayson Perry – Who Are You?
Having recently moved from my home of seventeen years, I think I can understand (a bit) where you're at.
Good luck. I know the feeling moving on avg every 7 years even across continents. Its all for the better in my case, hope it is yours.

Q: QuincyKit/PLCrashReporter: provide description *before* the crash I'm using QuincyKit, which runs on top of PLCrashReporter, to discover production crashes in my iOS app, and to obtain logs. Sometimes, it'd tremendously help me debug if I had some variables from several call stack levels above the crash point. Like, what record ID did it crash on, if the record processing code is many levels of nesting deep.
The question is - is there a way to provide some kind of context string that gets inserted into a crash log as description at generation time? I'd set it upon entry into a call stack for a record, I'd clear it upon exit. Better if it's non-persistent (i. e. in memory) - writing to the nonvolatile storage all the time would be taxing on the battery, I'm afraid.

A: No, but the feature was proposed over 2 years ago and there's a patch.
I'd actually prefer a version that allowed logging the contents of a ring buffer (which you could efficiently log messages to!), which seems potentially much more useful.

A: Found a limited workaround. I use a shared memory block with a name that's derived from bundle ID to store the context string. The block is cleared on proper shutdown. Then I override -crashReportDescription in my Quincy delegate so that it provides the shared memory contents, if any, as description. It is only nonempty if the last app shutdown was a crash.
There are obviously flaws with this approach. If they, say, restart the device between the crash and the next app startup, the shared memory info is lost.
EDIT: in the first version of the design, I used a private, named UIPasteboard instead of shared memory. That turned out to be quite a performance hit. Shared memory is orders of magnitude faster.
EDIT2: but then they broke shared memory in iOS 7, so UIPasteboard is back. Bummer.
EDIT3: found another approach, less elegant but it works in iOS 7. I store my context string in a plain static memory block. I place a custom crash handler within PLCrashReporter with [[PLCrashReporter sharedReporter] setCrashCallbacks:]. In the handler, I write out said context (if any) to a file. On app startup, I read said file, and provide the contents (if any) in -crashReportDescription. Go away, UIPasteboard.

The Gowanus Station Building at 234 Butler Street is at risk.
This two-story beaux-arts building, built in 1913 by the Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity, not only reflects the larger context of Gowanus as one of the earliest and busiest industrial and manufacturing centers in this country, it is also unique for being the only building that actually bears the name of the neighborhood.
There has been much advocacy from members of the community to save the building, or at the very least, incorporate its facade into D.E.P.'s design for the C.S.O. facility.
Borough President Eric Adams also noted that the entire building is valued as a local resource and has been found to be significant by SHPO as part of the National Register Gowanus Historic District. "Given the building's significance to members of the community, if additional testing determines that the building's walls are structurally sound, it would be worthwhile to consider retaining the walls using creative architectural and engineering solutions, integrated into the facility's design."
Community Board 6 acknowledged the importance of the building to the community and asked DEP to "consider an alternative design to save the historic structure."
Yet, New York City D.E.P. seems determined to take a wrecking ball to 234 Butler Street. Why wouldn't the agency attempt to take the wishes of the community into consideration, you ask? Many would say that the City has never been very transparent or trustworthy when it comes to Gowanus.
To better understand the matter regarding the Gowanus Station building and how it relates to the planned C.S.O facility, let us rewind a bit.
You may remember that in June of 2016, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized an agreement with the City of New York that secures the design of the larger of two combined sewage and storm water overflow (CSO) retention tanks, mandated by the Federal Agency as part of Gowanus Canal Superfund cleanup.
The agreement allows New York City to locate an 8 million gallon retention tank in New York City's preferred location, known as the "Head-of-Canal" location. It also stipulates that the EPA can require New York City to place the tank at the EPA-suggested Thomas Greene Park location instead "if certain activities do not occur on schedule, including if New York City is not able to acquire the land at the Head-of-Canal location within approximately four years."
The City's plan relies on the taking of two privately owned sites, 234 Butler Street and 242 Nevins Street, by eminent domain. A third site, 270 Nevins Street, which currently houses a film production studio, will be seized and then leased by the City for temporary staging purposes.
An application submitted by New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the New York City Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) for the acquisition of these three privately-owned parcels needed for the Gowanus CSO Facility is currently moving through the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP). DEP expects the ULURP to be completed by April 2018, when the NYC Council will cast a final vote.
In the meantime, D.E.P. is designing the C.S.O. facility, which includes a huge head house (for maintenance and odor control). According to the agency's plans, that head house will be located in the footprint of the Gowanus Station building at 234 Butler Street.
At the February general meeting of the Gowanus Canal Community Advisory Group (CAG), attended by representatives from EPA, DEP, New York's State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), and by New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, the entire meeting was set aside to discuss the Gowanus Station.
Kevin Clarke, the DEP Project Coordinator, told the community that his agency had determined that it was "not technically feasible" to keep the building, nor its façade, since the excavation for the retention tank would seriously undermine the structure.
According to Clarke, the Gowanus Station was too brittle, had been altered too many times over its lifetime, and did not meet code anymore. Besides, DEP felt that saving the building would 'not be a prudent expenditure."
Instead, DEP would salvage the building's parapet and other exterior elements and display them in the publicly accessible areas of the completed C.S.O. facility.
Conveniently, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) has supported DEP's assertions and has "deemed the Gowanus Station too altered to grant it individual landmark status."
This prompted Salvatore Tagliavia and his wife Lena, the current owners of the 234 Butler Street to raise skepticism at Tuesday's CAG meeting.
Not only is New York City planning to acquire their property by eminent domain, but NYC LPC is making recommendations on a building that the City plans on demolishing.
Ideally, LPC would make recommendations solely on the historic worthiness of a structure.
In this case, one could make the case that there is a clear conflict of interest and that the lines are sufficiently blurred to be skeptical of LPC's determination.
SHPO also seems to have toed the line, changing its overwhelming support to incorporate the Gowanus Station building into the overall design of the CSO facility in late 2017, to accepting "the project alternatives as presented" and concurring with DEP that "there appear to be no prudent and feasible alternatives to demolition of 234 Butler and 242-244 Nevins Street" by early February 2018.
It is important to know that on June 30th, 2017, DEP filed documents with EPA for the first phase of the tank design, which pertain to "site preparation and demolition". Apparently, the City has been working on a contract to demolish the building, making clear that it never earnestly looked into saving it.
It is also important to remember that the EPA will have final say on the City's CSO facility design and what happens on the site.
Stay tuned! As always, things in Gowanus are interesting, never simple, and often perplexing.
It all comes down to money in this world nowadays. The City almost never listens to its people unless it involves earning cash for their own pockets. It's a shame what this world has come to.
What I heard DEP, Mr Clarke say was their plans were to save the terracotta word plack and some if the scrolls -- not the facade and certainly not even the pediment. What a meaningless overture to the Brooklyn's history!
What I heard DEP Mr Clarke say, was their plans were to save the terracotta words and some of the scrolls -- not the facade and certainly not even the pediment. What a meaningless overture to Brooklyn's history!
What is the evidence of "overwhelming community advocacy"?
The support of Community Board 6 in regards to the building. Testimony given by local residents during the ULURP hearing at the Borough President's office, which prompted his recommendation that the façade should be saved and integrated into the design. A letter writing campaign by local residents to NYC LPC urging the landmarking of the building. Outreach to Councilman Levin for more community input in regards to the design.
The Gowanus Canal Community Advisory Group will hopefully issue its own statement in regards to the building soon.
Well-written article but picking a nit: "toed", not "towed" the line.
I'm all for keeping historical/important landmarks, and for maintaining the character of our neighborhood, but to me this building hardly qualifies as that. There's a great need for these new tanks and the building is hardly remarkable -- cool-looking, sure, but not remarkable. I'm OK with letting it go. Let's pick our battles.

RECOMMENDED READING:: "Iran And The Muslim Brotherhood In The Arabic-Speaking World: The Best Of Enemies?"
By gmbwatch on	 January 24, 2016 Recommended Reading
The Rubin Centre, an Israeli think-tank reporting on modern Middle East affairs, has published an article looks at some of the relationships between Iran and the Global Muslim Brotherhood. The article begins:
This article focuses on relations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and branches of the Muslim Brotherhood in the Arabic-speaking Middle East. The introduction looks at the historical and ideological background to relations between the Brotherhood and Iran. The article then focuses on two examples – relations between Teheran and the Palestinian Hamas movement, and Iran's relations to the Jama'a al-Islamiyya, the Lebanese branch of the Brotherhood. Also surveyed are Iranian relations with a number of other smaller regional branches of the Brotherhood.
Historically, Iran has regarded the Muslim Brotherhood as a friendly organization. The Brotherhood, for its part, has strived to establish a regime close to the principles of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Iranian theocracy cherishes its image as a republic with popular representation and elections (albeit very limited and under the total control of the Supreme Leader). Iran makes skillful and manipulative use of this aspect of its theocratic Shi'i rule to subvert Arab countries.
While neither the Islamic Republic nor the Brotherhood support democracy in the Western sense of the term, an element of popular representation–and thus legitimacy–is important for both. Thus, Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood can find common ideological ground. Initially, the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt supported the Iranian Islamic Revolution. This too is remembered in Tehran.
From the Iranian perspective, it is important to note that the ongoing regional sectarian conflict between Shi'a and Sunnis is not considered inevitable, or desirable.[1] Nevertheless, the reality of this conflict has limited the possibility of cooperation between Teheran and the Brotherhood.
The links between Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood are long standing. The first religiously motivated terrorist movement in Iran, Fadayan-e Islam, under the leadership of Navob Safavi, was inspired by the example of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and its leader Sayyid Qutb. In the past, the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood supported the principle of unity between Shi'a and Sunnis, which was called 'rapprochement of the schools' or taqrib al-madhahib. Many Iranian Shi'i activists, such as prominent Iranian religious activist Hadi Khosrowshahi,[2] maintain this view of the situation.
Iran is fully aware of the regional problems complicating the regime's cooperation with the Muslim Brotherhood. As a result, the republic does not have a unified, clear, and coherent policy with regard to the group. Iranian calculus with respect to the Brotherhood has never been publicly discussed. One cannot say that the Iranian stance on the Brotherhood is as easily assessed as Iran's stance on Israel or Syria, for example.
The GMBDW reported in November 2015 that Hamas and the Iranian-backed Hezbollah had met in Beirut Lebanon to discuss issues such as the Islamic State (ISIS) as well as the situation in the Palestinian territories.

During a press conference held today in Tokyo, a new exclusive game was announced for Xbox One. The game was presented under the working title Raiden, and it's scheduled to release in 2015 to celebrate the series' 25th anniversary.
Raiden will be developed and published by MOSS, a not quite so popular studio. The game was only announced for Xbox One as of now, but there's no certainty about it being an exclusive for good or just a timed deal.
We can expect more information in the following months.


This week I had fun listening to Nigel Marsh's talk How to Make Work-life Balance Work. Nigel is an author of Fat, Forty, and Fired and Overworked and Underlaid. He talks about the cliche "work-life" balance and how we can actually make that happen.
Nigel starts his talk by teasing the audience they have "miserable existence" and the audience laugh. He has a strong engaging beginning and an ending and that creates great connections with his audience.
In the beginning, Nigel mentions that he has 4 points to make and that helps the audience to follow his talk better.
In the middle of the talk, Nigel gives an example of what he considers a perfectly balanced day would look like and that helps make things clearer and more memorable.
If I could talk to Nigel directly, I would tell him these.
Instead of having 4 points to make, I would have made them to be only 3, because the rule of three is easier to follow and engage with. The audience will also be able to remember his points better.
What did you particularly enjoy about the talk? What do you think he could have done better at?

Q: Basic python arithmetic - division I have two variables : count, which is a number of my filtered objects, and constant value per_page. I want to divide count by per_page and get integer value but I no matter what I try - I'm getting 0 or 0.0 :
>>> count = friends.count()
>>> print count
1
>>> per_page = 2
>>> print per_page
2
>>> pages = math.ceil(count/per_pages)
>>> print pages
0.0
>>> pages = float(count/per_pages)
>>> print pages
0.0

What am I doing wrong, and why math.ceil gives float number instead of int ?

A: Integer division is the default of the / operator in Python < 3.0. This has behaviour that seems a little weird. It returns the dividend without a remainder.
>>> 10 / 3
3

If you're running Python 2.6+, try:
from __future__ import division

>>> 10 / 3
3.3333333333333335

If you're running a lower version of Python than this, you will need to convert at least one of the numerator or denominator to a float:
>>> 10 / float(3)
3.3333333333333335

Also, math.ceil always returns a float...
>>> import math
>>> help(math.ceil)

ceil(...)
    ceil(x)

    Return the ceiling of x as a float.
    This is the smallest integral value >= x.

A: Python does integer division when both operands are integers, meaning that 1 / 2 is basically "how many times does 2 go into 1", which is of course 0 times. To do what you want, convert one operand to a float: 1 / float(2) == 0.5, as you're expecting. And, of course, math.ceil(1 / float(2)) will yield 1, as you expect.
(I think this division behavior changes in Python 3.)

A: From Python documentation (math module):

math.ceil(x)
Return the ceiling of x as a float, the smallest integer value greater than or equal to x.

A: They're integers, so count/per_pages is zero before the functions ever get to do anything beyond that. I'm not a Python programmer really but I know that (count * 1.0) / pages will do what you want. There's probably a right way to do that however.
edit — yes see @mipadi's answer and float(x)

A: its because how you have it set up is performing the operation and then converting it to a float try
count = friends.count()
print count

per_page = float(2)
print per_page

pages = math.ceil(count/per_pages)

print pages
pages = count/per_pages

By converting either count or per_page to a float all of its future operations should be able to do divisions and end up with non whole numbers

A: >>> 10 / float(3)
3.3333333333333335
>>> #Or
>>> 10 / 3.0
3.3333333333333335
>>> #Python make any decimal number to float
>>> a = 3
>>> type(a)
<type 'int'>
>>> b = 3.0
>>> type(b)
<type 'float'>
>>>

The best solution maybe is to use from __future__ import division

We Rake The Muck Others Won't
Asshole Brings Unopened Can to Potluck
April 13, 2018 Local
COLUMBUS, OH—An otherwise successful PTO potluck dinner was marred by the contribution of an unopened can by an unknown guest.
Maria Gonzalez, president of the local parent teacher organization, was hosting a potluck dinner for parents to discuss this year's fundraising plans when she discovered that an unknown attendant had brought a Sweet Sue's chicken-in-a-can.
Gonzalez was unable to identify the offending can's owner. Guests had laid out their offerings on a table near the entryway so it was impossible to determine who had brought which dish. "I'm really at a loss as to who could do this," Gonzalez told us. "I don't expect everyone to bring a complex homemade dish. A can of fruit salad would have even been OK. But this revolting chicken isn't even warmed. And they didn't bring a can opener."
Gonzalez had reportedly narrowed down the list of possible offenders to three candidates. When asked why it was important to determine the identity of the malefactor, Gonzalez said "I don't think I can work in an organization with the person who could do this."
We tried to reach Gonzalez for an update to the story, but she was not available since she had also discovered that her powder room toilet had been badly clogged and required snaking.

Prosecution Caught Lying in Closing Argument in Kyle Rittenhouse Murder Trial
By Mike Landry November 15, 2021 at 3:17pm
In closing arguments in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial Monday, the prosecution put up a slide saying the then-17-year-old possessed a gun he wasn't allowed to have when he shot three men during a 2020 Black Lives Matter riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Problem is, on Friday the judge dismissed the charge that Rittenhouse — who is pleading self-defense — was in illegal possession of the gun.
Rittenhouse prosecution lies on the first slide of his closing argument
Gun charge was dismissed pic.twitter.com/j837NrH7vU
— Kyle Hooten (@KyleHooten2) November 15, 2021
But the prosecution made sure the jury saw a slide that said Rittenhouse "killed 2 unarmed people and severely wounded a 3rd person with an AR-15 that he knew he couldn't have."
An AR-15 he knew he couldn't have? Says who?
Not Wisconsin law, which, according to Section 941.28, only prohibits minors from possession a "short-barreled" rifle or shotgun. Rittenhouse's weapon was not short-barreled.
Also, Section 29.304 limits gun possession by minors only to those under 16, and that is within the context of hunting, which is not relevant to the Rittenhouse case.
There's a lot of hot takes about how 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse was too young to open carry a rifle in Wisconsin
This @journalsentinel piece states it as fact, and plenty of other people have too
I'm pretty sure everyone has it wrong
Threadhttps://t.co/sdejG3afw9
— Will Chamberlain (@willchamberlain) August 27, 2020
It's no wonder Judge Bruce Schroeder — who admitted the law was confusing even to him — dropped the weapons charge and eliminated what might have been a possible conviction by the jury.
But why would the prosecution show the slide saying Rittenhouse had an illegal weapon?
Were they trying to pull a fast one?
It wouldn't be the first time, given prosecutor Thomas Binger's trick last week of letting the jury know Rittenhouse refused to talk to police following arrest, which any first-year law student or viewer of "Law and Order" reruns knows is his right.
Leftists Come Unglued with Kyle Rittenhouse's Special Christmas Message in Latest Legal Battle
Schroeder went ballistic on that apparent attempt by Binger to bias the jury, and the defense already has accused the prosecution of attempting the throw the case in order to get a mistrial.
It seems such basic courtroom fouls are attempts to try to unethically telegraph things to the jury that they are not being called upon or allowed to consider.
Trial lawyers have the obligation to be vigorous in their advocacy — prosecutors for the state, defense lawyers for the accused.
But all must retain the objective of seeking justice based upon law, precedent and established rules.
The conviction or acquittal of any charges against Kyle Rittenhouse must be based upon what has properly been presented in the courtroom, not by prosecutorial tricks or threats of civil unrest stemming from what some deem an unacceptable verdict.
As we watch the corruption of so many institutions — education, media, government, public health — it is important to retain the image of Lady Justice with her blindfold and scales.
And that is true no matter what one believes about the innocence or guilt of Kyle Rittenhouse. That's especially true for the 12 jurors.
They must focus only on the evidence and testimony regarding the formal charges against Rittenhouse and his claim of self-defense.
He's charged, among other crimes, with first-degree reckless homicide of Joseph Rosenbaum, first-degree intentional homicide of Anthony Huber and attempted first-degree intentional homicide for wounding Gaige Grosskreutz.

I found similar problems from this platform but the solutions provided don't mutch with my issue. The error shown is:
