Full title:RICKERT RICE MILLS, INC. v . FONTENOT, COLLECTOR OF INTERNAL REVENUE
Court:U.S.
Date published: Jan 13, 1936
297 U.S. 110 (1936)
56 S. Ct. 374
CERTIORARI TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT.
Argued December 16, 17, 1935. Decided January 13, 1936.
1. The infirmities of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, 1933, which were the basis of decision in United States v. Butler, ante, p. 1, holding it unconstitutional, were not cured by the Amendatory Act of August 24, 1935. The so-called tax exacted of processors still lacks the quality of a true tax, and remains a means for effectuating the regulation of agricultural production, — a matter not within the powers of Congress. P. 112. 2. The Court has no occasion to discuss or decide in this case the question whether § 21(d) of the Amended Act affords an adequate remedy at law for the recovery of money unconstitutionally exacted of a processor. P. 112. 3. In suits by processors to restrain a collector from assessing and collecting "processing taxes" pursuant to the Agricultural Adjustment Act, 1933, as amended by the Act of August 24, 1935, this Court, in granting writs of certiorari, restrained the collection upon the condition that the petitioners pay the amounts of the accruing taxes to a depositary, to be withdrawn only upon the further order of this Court. The exaction of the statute having been found unconstitutional, held that the impounded funds should be returned to petitioners without regard to the adequacy of the remedy under § 21(d) of the Amended Act for recovery of taxes collected, since the petitioners have not paid those funds as taxes to the collector and cannot now be required to do so, nor can collection be enforced by distraint. P. 112. Decrees of the District Court vacated.
CERTIORARI, 296 U.S. 569, to the Circuit Court of Appeals after denial by that court of applications for injunctions, pending appeal, in suits brought by processors of rice against the respondent collector to enjoin assessment and collection of processing taxes under the Agricultural Adjustment Act as amended. The District Court had dismissed the bills. The decrees of this Court provide for return of moneys impounded under its orders; vacate the decrees of the District Court, and remand the cases to that court for entry of decrees of injunction.
Messrs. John P. Bullington and Homer L. Bruce, with whom Messrs. Ralph J. Schwarz, Morris B. Redmann, and C.A. McCoy were on the brief, for petitioners.
Assistant Attorney General Wideman, with whom Attorney General Cummings, Solicitor General Reed, Messrs. Sewall Key, Norman D. Keller, J. Paul Jackson, Lucius A. Buck, Mastin G. White, Prew Savoy, and Miss Helen R. Carloss were on the brief, for respondent.
By leave of Court, briefs of amici curiae were filed as follows: Messrs. Nathan L. Miller, John W. Davis, and William R. Perkins, on behalf of Hygrade Food Products Corp. et al.; Messrs. Charles B. Rugg, Frank J. Morley, Thomas Nelson Perkins, and Warren F. Farr, on behalf of General Mills, Inc., et al.; Mr. John E. Hughes, on behalf of American Nut Co., Inc., et al.; and Messrs. James S.Y. Ivins, Kingman Brewster, Percy W. Phillips, O.R. Folsom-Jones, Richard B. Barker, and John Ward Cutler, — all in support of the petitioners.
MR. JUSTICE ROBERTS delivered the opinion of the Court.
This is one of eight companion cases. They were consolidated for hearing by the District Court. It will be sufficient briefly to state the facts in No. 577:
The others are: 578, Dore v. Fontenot; 579, United Rice Milling Products Co., Inc. v. Fontenot; 580, Baton Rouge Rice Mill, Inc. v. Fontenot; 581, Simon v. Fontenot; 585, Levy Rice Milling Co., Inc. v. Fontenot; 586, Farmers Rice Milling Co., Inc. v. Fontenot, and 587, Noble-Trotter Rice Milling Co., Inc. v. Fontenot.
The petitioner, a processor of rice, filed its bill in the District Court for Eastern Louisiana, to restrain the respondent from assessing or collecting taxes levied for the month of September, 1935, and subsequent months, pursuant to the Agricultural Adjustment Act, 1933, as amended by the Act of August 24, 1935. The bill charges the exaction is unconstitutional and alleges the respondent threatens collection by distraint, which will cause irreparable injury, as the petitioner has no adequate remedy at law to recover what may be collected. A preliminary injunction was sought. The respondent filed a motion to dismiss, citing Revised Statutes 3224 and § 21(a) of the amended Agricultural Adjustment Act as prohibiting restraint of collection, and also asserting that the petitioner had a plain, adequate, and complete remedy at law. The court refused an interlocutory injunction and entered a decree dismissing the bill. Appeal was perfected to the Circuit Court of Appeals. The District Judge refused to grant an injunction pending the appeal. Application to the Circuit Court of Appeals for such an injunction was denied upon the view that the petitioner had an adequate remedy at law and the statute deprived the court of jurisdiction to restrain collection.
C. 25, 48 Stat. 31.
C. 641, 49 Stat. 750.
In praying a writ of certiorari the petitioner asserted that by reason of the provisions of § 21(d) it would be impossible to recover taxes collected, even though the act were unconstitutional, since the section forbids recovery except upon a showing of facts not susceptible of proof. This court granted the writ and restrained collection of the tax upon condition that the petitioner should pay the amount of the accruing taxes to a depository, to the joint credit of petitioner and respondent, such funds to be withdrawn only upon the further order of the court. The cause was advanced for hearing and has been fully argued on the questions of the constitutionality of the exaction and the inadequacy of the remedy for recovery of taxes paid.
The changes made by the amendatory act of August 24, 1935, do not cure the infirmities of the original act which were the basis of decision in United States v. Butler, ante, p. 1. The exaction still lacks the quality of a true tax. It remains a means for effectuating the regulation of agricultural production, a matter not within the powers of Congress.
We have no occasion to discuss or decide whether § 21(d) affords an adequate remedy at law. As yet the petitioner has not paid the taxes to the respondent, and, in view of the decision in the Butler case, hereafter cannot be required so to do. If the respondent should now attempt to collect the tax by distraint he would be a trespasser. The decree of the District Court will be vacated, an appropriate order entered directing the repayment to the petitioner of the funds impounded pendente lite, and the cause remanded to the District Court for the entry of a decree enjoining collection of the assailed exaction. A similar disposition will be made of the companion cases.
Decree vacated.

COVID-19 by the Numbers
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has now rated Johnson County's COVID-19 Community level as Medium.
Campus update: Slow the spread; parent/caregiver leave options to accommodate for virtual learning; spring semester reminder; campus operations; self-reported testing data
Please do your part to slow the spread
The number of COVID-19 cases in Iowa is rising at an alarming rate. We need you to do your part to help flatten the curve and prevent our hospitals from becoming overwhelmed.
Don't let up
We know how hard you've been working. We've seen you wearing your masks and watching your distance, and we're grateful for the sacrifices you've made this semester to keep our community healthy.
Please don't let up. All of us are experiencing pandemic fatigue but letting our guard down now, even among close friends and family, poses a risk. The choices you make outside of class could affect your ability to finish the semester strong.
Plan ahead for Thanksgiving recess
Socializing safely this weekend could make the difference between going home for the holiday and having to stay on campus. Planning to get tested for COVID-19 is not enough to keep you or your family safe because health experts warn that it may take up to 14 days to develop enough virus to test positive.
If you are symptomatic or have been exposed to someone who has COVID-19, please contact Student Health or University of Iowa Health Care for a test.
Students: Visit the Student Health website for information about how to request a test. If you need to speak to a nurse, contact Student Health by calling the Nurseline (319-335-9704), or send an email (student-health@uiowa.edu).
Faculty/Staff: Call your health care provider or the UI Hospitals & Clinics (319-384-9010) and inform them of your symptoms or schedule a video visit through MyChart.
If you do not meet that criteria but would like a test before you travel, locations such as Hy-Vee or Test Iowa may be able to provide one.
Leave options for parents and caregivers to accommodate virtual learning
With the increase of community spread, many local school districts are moving to online learning for school-aged children. During this time, we want to recognize the added stress and uncertainty for parents and caregivers, as well as remind employees of new and existing leave options, including:
COVID-19 Leave Options: Paid leave options are available to care for children during school closures, virtual learning, and illness related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Learn more.
*Note: Some leaves may not apply for UI Health Care employees.
Workplace Flexibility: Flexible Work Arrangements may provide the flexibility necessary for employees to be able to balance the demands of work and home this school year. Learn more.
Just-in-Time Child-Care Resources: Our local child-care landscape is constantly evolving. This webpage will be updated regularly with information about child-care referral resources, tutoring resources, volunteer childcare resources, and back-up or occasional child-care resources.
Expansion of Catastrophic Leave: Changes have been made to this program to provide additional support to employee parents of school-aged children impacted by child-care closures, hybrid or virtual learning, and the medical need to keep children at home from school or child care. Learn more.
Reminder: Spring semester 2021
Iowa is scheduled to begin the spring semester on Monday, Jan. 25, 2021, continuing to offer classes in a blended format that includes online and face-to-face instruction. Adjustments made to the classrooms during the fall 2020 semester will remain in place.
Since January, the university has been monitoring, planning, and responding to the pandemic by adopting policies and procedures to mitigate the spread of the virus on campus.
All decisions must align with local, state, and federal guidance, reflect the direction the governor and Board of Regents, State of Iowa, and be approved by the president.
The university will continue to follow the latest guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH), in consultation with UI experts. In the event the university must adopt new protocols for the spring semester, those will be shared with the campus community no later than Jan. 15, 2021.
The university continues to work with local and state officials to support and implement policies to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus. On Tuesday, Gov. Kim Reynolds signed a proclamation that imposes a number of additional public health measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Those measures are effective today. The university will continue to align with guidance from; the Board of Regents, State of Iowa; the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH); and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
University of Iowa self-reported COVID-19 testing
These data reflect new cases since Nov. 9, 2020.
The University of Iowa has published an updated snapshot of self-reported positive COVID-19 tests from faculty, staff, and students.
Number of self-reported cases of COVID-19
Semester-to-date: 2,405
Semester-to-date: 176
These numbers reflect only self-reported positive or presumed positive COVID-19 tests from UI faculty, staff, and students on the academic campus since Aug. 18, 2020. These data will not match data reported by UI Hospitals & Clinics or by the Iowa Department of Public Health for several reasons, including different testing time intervals and geographic scope. Students who also are employees of the university are only reported in the student number to avoid double counting. The UI has more than 30,000 students and nearly 30,000 employees. Many employees continue to work remotely but have self-reported to authorize sick leave.
Number of residence hall students in quarantine: 3*
Number of residence hall students in self-isolation: 15**
*Quarantine: Quarantine is used to keep someone who might have been exposed to COVID-19 away from others.
**Self-isolation: Isolation is used to separate people infected with the virus (those who are symptomatic and those with no symptoms) from people who are not infected.

Facebook 'Reactions' test lets you express many more feelings than just 'like'
The social network leader will venture beyond the thumbs-up with a test starting Friday for residents of Ireland and Spain.
Facebook users, prepare to express yourselves
Starting Friday, the world's largest social network will begin a test in which people get a much fuller range of responses than just the iconic thumbs-up "like." The feature, dubbed Reactions, will offer icons to express love, laughter, happiness, shock, sadness and anger, a company representative said Thursday.
To add a reaction, testers on mobile devices will long-press the "like" button while PC users will hover over it. An array of options will then pop up. A post will note the number of each reactions received.
Reactions won't immediately be tested on all Facebook users. The company will begin real-world testing of the feature only in Ireland and Spain.
Facebook's new Reactions feature offers options beyond the "like" button.Facebook
The change may seem superficial, but it's actually profound for the company. The "like" button is so deeply embedded in Facebook's workings that the icon greets visitors at the company's Menlo Park, California, headquarters. With the "like" button, the company seemed to be taking the age-old advice that "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." But for many, "like" seemed a poor way to express sympathy for posts about unfortunate events like illnesses, deaths or crimes.
Facebook has for years resisted pressure from a cadre of users to add a "dislike" button. With Reactions, it's taking a different tack, one that allows for a spectrum of emotions to be expressed while avoiding the up- and down-voting of posts that occurs on YouTube, Reddit and many Internet forums. An overwhelmingly negative reaction to a post without an actual discussion taking place could alienate users and discourage them from sharing -- something Facebook wants to avoid.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg initially teased Reactions during an event at the company's headquarters in September. Acknowledging that "not every moment is a good moment," Zuckerberg said Facebook would introduce a feature to reflect its users' wishes to have more ways to express themselves.

The German Marshall Fund is a non-governmental organization dedicated to promoting transatlantic cooperation. GMF does this through a number of programs, including, the Marshall Memorial Fellowship (MMF) which is the flagship leadership development program. Created in 1982 to introduce a new generation of European leaders to the United States, MMF grew in 1999 with a companion program that began sending emerging leaders from the United States to Europe. Today, the MMF alumni network numbers nearly 2,500 leaders.
GMF awards around 75 Marshall Memorial Fellowships each year to the best and brightest from all sectors, including business, government, and civil society from both sides of the Atlantic. Selected fellows engage in 6 months of preparation designed to enhance their understanding of transatlantic relations before embarking on 24 days of policy immersion across the Atlantic.

Consumers File Class-Action Lawsuit Against Makers of Zantac, According to Consumer-Rights Law Firm FeganScott
Two consumers filed a class-action lawsuit claiming pharmaceutical giants GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and Sanofi (SNY), among others, failed to warn consumers that the heartburn medication, Zantac, produces a clinically proven carcinogen in the body at levels far beyond what regulators consider safe. According to Beth Fegan, founder and managing member of consumer-rights law firm FeganScott, Zantac and its generic active ingredient, ranitidine, became one of the world's best-selling drugs through a massive advertising campaign that touted the drug as safe.

BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Oct. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- As a precautionary measure, Sanofi will conduct a voluntary recall of Zantac OTC (over-the-counter) in the U.S. and Canada.

Class-action law firm Hagens Berman which filed the first lawsuit regarding Sanofi and Boehringer Ingelheim's intentionally concealed cancer risks in its popular heartburn medication, Zantac, has issued a fact sheet to set the record straight about what attorneys are calling glaring incompetence and shameful conduct from the FDA to date in connection with Zantac. "The FDA's response with respect to Zantac, in our opinion, is a public disservice and constitutes reckless behavior for an agency tasked with protecting the people," said Steve Berman, managing partner of Hagens Berman and attorney leading the case for consumers. "The FDA has become a shell of an agency.

High Value Health Care
We can protect kids' health, reduce climate pollution, and have cleaner communities with electric buses.
Each day buses carry millions of children to and from school and move millions more Americans around our cities. But most of the buses on the road are diesel, powered by dirty fossil fuels, polluting our communities, endangering the health of children, and putting our climate at greater risk.
Nearly 95 percent of America's school buses run on diesel. Diesel exhaust has been linked to several serious health risks, including increased rates of respiratory illnesses and cancer. Diesel exhaust is internationally recognized as a cancer-causing agent and classified as a likely carcinogen by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Our kids deserve a safe ride to school. Getting an education shouldn't include a daily dose of toxic pollution, or increase the chances that kids will get sick. And why would we continue to use diesel buses — many of which our tax dollars pay for — if they are making the climate crisis worse?
Clean Buses Are Ready To Roll
Electric bus pilot programs are already underway in states including California, Massachusetts and Minnesota. The mayors of Los Angeles and Seattle have joined a pact with 10 other mayors around the world to purchase only electric transit buses after 2025. And Los Angeles MTA, the 2nd largest transit district in the country with over 2,000 transit buses has committed to go all electric by 2025.
We need to move faster, and go further to protect the kids' health. We're working to make every American school bus electric by 2030. Through our Electric Buses, Healthy Kids campaign we're working to encourage state and local officials to do more to pave the way.
State officials can use money from the Volkswagen's "Dieselgate" settlement to subsidize the purchase of electric buses, saving millions of dollars from the cost of transitioning to clean buses. In addition, we're also advocating for policies that would:
Create incentive programs and grants for transit agencies, school districts and bus contractors to help finance the upfront cost of electric buses.
Facilitate the installation of charging infrastructure through programs that help cover the costs.
Create low-cost financing programs to help agencies, districts and bus contractors leverage other sources of funding.
Provide research and technical assistance to make it easier to transition to electric buses.
We've worked to promote healthier, cleaner transportation policies for decades, and we know how to win at the state and local levels. The key to our success is a strong base of members and supporters in every state.
Tell your senators to support the transition to clean school buses
The Clean Bus Act will help communities to transition their aging school bus fleets to zero-emissions electric school buses. Urge your Senators to cosponsor today.

Hyundai to show electric sedan concept at Auto Expo 2018
Along with the electric sedan and the new Maruti Celerio rival, the Hyundai i20 facelift could also make its debut at Auto Expo 2018.
Nikhil Bhatia Author
Hyundai has so far kept its electric car plans for India close to its chest. But come Auto Expo 2018, there will be more clarity regarding its electric vehicle roadmap. The Korean carmaker is expected to have an electric vehicle concept on display at the motor show. While no technical details are known as yet, Autocar India can confirm the EV will be a sedan. Hyundai is also known to be evaluating the all-electric Kona SUV for a possible launch in India, and the model will also be on display.
Auto Expo 2018 will also mark the debut of Hyundai's new hatchback. The model that is expected to replace the Eon and i10 is internally known as the 'Hyundai Family Concept'. Spy pics of the car undergoing testing suggest the car will have a high roof or 'tall boy' silhouette, allowing maximisation of space inside the cabin. The new Hyundai model is expected to be pitched against the Maruti Celerio and Tata Tiago.
The facelifted i20 could also be shown at the Auto Expo 2018 though we understand Hyundai might push back its unveil to later in the year. The Korean manufacturer's new 'cascading' grille design, LED tail-lamps and new alloy wheels are expected to lead the list of exterior changes on the i20. An updated infotainment system could also find its way to Hyundai's popular premium hatchback.
Motorsports enthusiasts will also get a chance to get up close to Hyundai's WRC car, which will also be part of the Korean carmaker's Auto Expo 2018 display.

(1) Deliver the Crimson Caravan invoice to Doctor Hildern at Camp McCarran. (2) Return to Alice McLafferty and let her know you've delivered the invoice. (3) Alice McCafferty, owner of the Crimson Caravan Company, has additional jobs available. (4) Negotiate with Cass to buy out Cassidy Caravans for the Crimson Caravan Company. (5) Convince Henry Jamison to quit his position at the Crimson Caravan Company. (6) (Optional) Acquire the Gun Runners' secret manufacturing specifications from their factory. (7) Let Alice McCafferty know that Henry Jamison's employment has been terminated. (8) Tell Alice McCafferty that the Crimson Caravan Company now owns Cassidy Caravans. (9) Hand the Gun Runners' manufacturing specifications over to Alice McCafferty.
There are one of two practical ways you could possibly contract this side quest. The first is directly related with another side quest, one called Heartache by the Number . In that side quest, you'll meet a young alcoholic named Cass at the NCR's Mojave Outpost, who will alert you that the Crimson Caravan, a well-organized company that shuttles goods (primarily water) across the Wasteland, is looking for workers. Or, you could simply stumble upon the Crimson Caravan's compound, which is located right in the New Vegas mix, northeast of Camp McCarran.
Once within the compound (which you should be able to enter at will), you'll be able to explore freely. Unfortunately, you're not going to find much of interest within the walls of the Crimson Caravan's protected compound. You will likely run into your old friend Ringo immediately upon entering the area (you'll remember him from the Side Quest called Ghost Town Gunfight , if you undertook it). After speaking with Ringo and learning a bit about the Crimson Caravan, you can seek out the main office, where you can continue with your task in earnest.
Within this building, you'll find two people that you can speak with, along with a bunch of workers and the like that won't have much more to say to you than a simple passing word. The well-dressed gentleman near the door, Don Hostetler, will engage you in some conversation about the Crimson Caravan, but once that brief talk is over, you'll have nobody else to speak with but the woman behind the desk at the far end of the room. This woman's name is Alice McLafferty, and she runs this whole operation.
Engaging Alice in conversation will allow you to learn a great deal about the Crimson Caravan and the thriving business they have going on. Alice has come to New Vegas to make sure this particular branch of the business is working to capacity (having originally hailed from California), hence her well-dressed demeanor. When you inquire about any jobs Alice might have available, she'll tell you that she has nothing too glamorous for you to do. But she does need a messenger to relay a message to a nearby NCR outpost. Doing so will prove to her your worth, and allow you to undertake future business with her. Agree to this, take the message in question, and go out on your way. Feel free to explore the rest of the Crimson Caravan's compound on your way out if you'd like. You won't find much of interest (save some barracks with items you can steal, if you're willing to risk getting caught).
Once out on the Wasteland, you'll want to head in a southeasterly direction towards Camp McCarran, which should have appeared on your map after accepting Alice's offer. This area, which is one of the more metropolitan locations on your map, shouldn't have too many (if any) enemies to deal with. As you work your way southward, you'll likely run into the NCR Sharecropper Farm, but not much else. You can feel free to speak with anyone you run into, however. But ultimately, your goal is to reach the McCarran Airfield, renamed by the NCR folks as Camp McCarran. This old, abandoned Air Force base is where the message you're carrying ultimately needs to be delivered.
Once you're within the walls of the airfield (which should happen easily, so long as you're not on bad terms with the NCR, in which case you may not be able to complete this task at all), you'll want to seek out the gigantic terminal to the right of the entrance. The terminal building is rather clearly sitting there, waiting for you to enter it. Feel free to speak to anyone else around you if you'd like (though those conversations won't be covered here). Once inside the terminal, head forward, and then when you run into some escalators, swing to the left. If you follow your compass instructions, you'll uncover the doctor's office you're seeking before long. Speak to Dr. Thomas Hildern and hand over the message. You could optionally cop another side quest from him at this point, but chances are, you'll want to continue to focus on the task at hand instead.
With the note successfully delivered to Dr. Hildern, go ahead and return to the Crimson Caravan's base, northeast of the NCR base you're currently at. You should be able to travel there via quick travel should you so choose. When you return to the home base of the Crimson Caravan, go ahead and speak with Alice once more. Alice will be impressed at your hard work and will offer to give you more work, should you so choose to pursue it. Three jobs should be presented to you. One involves convincing a person who owns a competing caravan to sell it to Alice. The second revolves around a man named Henry Jamison, who Alice needs fired from his position. And the third task involves a gun manufacturer. Alice wants you to somehow steal the secrets to their manufacturing process so she can begin manufacturing weapons on her own.
So, let's take these tasks in order. The first task, once accepted, will require you to head to the Mojave Outpost, which is located on the far southwestern end of the map. You've likely already been to this NCR-controlled outpost, with the two gigantic statues sitting out front. In case you've not been there (and thus can't fast-travel), you'll be able to find the location to the southwest of Primm. Either way, when you arrive, seek out a woman named Cass sitting at the outpost's bar, getting drunk. This is the woman who will offer you the Heartache by the Number Side Quest , which would have turned you on to the Crimson Caravan in the first place. Either way, speak with her about Alice's offer to purchase her caravan. Unless you have a very, very high speech or barter skill, you simply won't be able to convince her. But it's certainly worth a try, nonetheless. If you can't convince her yet, you'll have to come back later, when your statistics are high enough to do so.
Your second task is actually pretty easy, as long as you have access to Freeside (and you should). Head to the inner section of Freeside, closest to the robot-protected entrance to the Strip. Nearby, you'll find a casino called the Atomic Wrangler. Head on inside and look for a well-dressed gentleman named Henry Jamison. This is the deadbeat Alice told you to look for. You need to convince the man to quit from his position at the Crimson Caravan. You can convince him outright if some of your skills are high enough, but at the very least, you'll be able to promise him some severance and the like to get him off of the job. Alice won't be thrilled if you offer him severance, of course, but you have to do what you have to do.
Once you've done that and reported back to Alice McLafferty with news of Henry Jamison's resignation, you'll then be able to take on the "optional" task here, which isn't really optional at all. Alice needs you to somehow procure the weapon-manufacturing secrets of the Gun Runners, an organization stationed at a well-guarded facility to the southwest of the Crimson Caravan compound. Now, how you go about getting into the Gun Runners' building is up to you, but we highly, highly recommend that you don't go in with guns blazing. Not only will you probably get mowed down (after all, you can expect the Gun Runners' personnel to be well-armed and heavily-armored), but doing so will likely stop you from completing other side quests. The idea here, my friends, is to sneak in and get what you want without anyone being the wiser.
As always, the key to sneaking is a Stealth Boy. Approach the locked outer gate surrounding the Gun Runners' building, activate your Stealth Boy, and pick open the locked gate. Once that's done you can then move forward and slightly to the right to enter the Gun Runners' building. To keep the noise you make to a minimum, crouch down and run forward. You want to find the room directly across the building from the entrance. In here, you can find a couple of weapons to grab, including an Assault Carbine and a Laser Rifle. But the computer terminal in this same room is key. Activate the computer and grab the requested schematics off of it. Then, staying crouched, leave the building and quick-travel back to the Crimson Caravan. Upon reporting back to Alice for a final time, this side quest will finally wrap up.

A FWC aircraft found Brian Kowalski's body.
Searchers found the body of a man who went missing in the Florida Keys after he dove into the water to rescue a child on a boating trip, authorities said.
The body of Brian Kowalski, 39, of Trinity, Florida was found Wednesday by a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission aircraft on the west side of Johnson Key, the Monroe County Sheriff's Office said.
Major Crimes Det. Manny Cuervo said it appears that Kowalski died from accidental or natural causes, but an autopsy will determine the cause, the sheriff's office said.
During the boating trip at about 4 p.m. Monday, several children were in the water off the gulf side of West Summerland Key, including one who was being towed with a rope. When that child appeared distressed, Kowalski jumped in the water to help him. But as he helped the child back to the boat, Kowalski also began to show signs of distress, the sheriff's office said.
People on board tried to turn the boat around, but the rope had become wrapped around the propeller, and as they struggled to remove it, they lost sight of Kowalski, the sheriff's office said.
They called 911, and the U.S. Coast Guard, the FWC and the sheriff's office subsequently searched for Kowalski.
The child was recovered and is fine, the sheriff's office said.
The body of Angel Bello, 21, was found Monday afternoon on the ocean floor near where his boat had capsized early Monday morning, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokesman Jorge Pino said. Before Bello was found, his girlfriend, who did not give her name, said, "I just hope he comes home soon."

Passed away on May 15, 2016 in Rhode Island, United States.
This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Angie Picchi 40 years old , born on June 13, 1975 and passed away on May 15, 2016. We will remember her forever.


I don't update this site as often as I perhaps should, but if you follow me on Mastodon it would be hard to miss my yellings at various development tools and frameworks with ever increasing cadence.
Since early spring 2017 I've spent most of my free time working on ESPTerm, a WiFi terminal project I mentioned in the previous post here. It's now complete as far as the original plans go, with many additional features added that I didn't think of until later, and a few more still planned. Those additions to ESPTerm are based on suggestions from the slowly growing community, as well as my experience with actually trying to use it and finding what could be improved. The module is presently being tested by some students in an embedded electronics course, which will hopefully bring in more feedback and help push it further.
ESPTerm's development is now moving much slower though, as I started working on my diploma project which needs to reach its "product" state, that is, become a fully usable device, by around April next year. That project is, of course, GEX.
GEX is an abbreviation of "GPIO EXpander" or "General purpose EXpander".
I'll start by giving some background and highlight the problems I'm trying to solve with it. The rest of the article will focus on challenges, already encountered and still waiting to be tackled, and some interesting implementation details.
Looking at the Raspberry Pi, you'll notice the main feature of the board is the GPIO header, a row of pins you can use for controlling various external components like LED strips, sensors, motors, physical buttons, displays etc. Besides the obvious selling points like low price, small form factor and relatively high processing power, this header is in my opinion the Raspberry's main strength. Of course, many clones and competing products have popped up since the introduction of the Raspberry Pi, but they're mostly just variations on the same theme, a tiny cheap computer with GPIO.
What, though, if you wanted to do things like controlling LEDs from your PC or laptop? How about reading a temperature sensor you stuck outside the window? We no longer have the ubiquitous parallel port that could be used for all kinds of hacks, now even it's companion RS232 is a rarity in newer computers. Along with PS/2 and joystick ports, all those connectors were replaced by USB. Despite some efforts to fragment the standard by the likes of Apple, USB is now truly a Universal Serial Bus. Almost any gadget you can think up now uses USB.
The problem with USB is that it's doing many things and so the protocol is very complicated and not very welcoming to beginners trying to use it in their projects. Thankfully the USB physical layer is now available in many microcontrollers, implemented right in the silicon. Manufactorers of those chips usually provide a library for working with USB in a more abstract, high level manner. All put together, this means USB is quite accessible for embedded projects, given the developer invests a couple hours in reading the specification or at least some guides (or... ahem... pays attention in the class). USB is far from straightforward, but it's also not entirely deserving of the aura of mystique it's often attributed. I'm not talking about USB 3.0 now, that's dark magic.
However, you're still stuck with implementing an embedded firmware just to blink some lights from the PC. Couldn't this be easier? Wouldn't it be neat to have something like the Raspberry Pi's GPIO header available on the PC? This idea isn't entirely new, of course. A related project is Bus Pirate which serves mainly as a tool for debugging and testing various protocols, and there's also the whole Firmata thing which—if I read the docs right—let's you access Arduino's pins remotely via the serial port (I think?).
I'm not really satisfied with anything I found so far, for one reason or another, so here we are, inventing a better wheel.
An easy way to access the "physical world" from any PC / laptop without having to write embedded code or get your hands dirty with USB.
Affordable. It should work with some of those ridiculously cheap boards from eBay, for example, and making a custom board shouldn't be too hard either.
High level. You shouldn't need to know anything about the used microcontroller to use e.g. SPI or toggle a pin.
Cross platform. I'm working on Linux and have no desire to use it anywhere else, but I want it to be accessible for everyone.
Performant. I want GEX to be able to drive graphic displays and animate LED strips, as well as e.g. driving motors with feedback control. How this works out is yet to be seen, but it'd be neat.
I want GEX to be really user friendly, to Just Work. At the highest level, it'll be a device you plug into USB, configure it to do what you want (e.g. designate some pins as output or input, set up the SPI port), and then access it using some C, Python or perhaps MATLAB API. There might be some daemon process running on the PC to facilitate multiple access.
GEX should be cross-platform and the configuration must be easy and user friendly. I got inspired by ARM mbed here: mbed boards appear as USB Mass Storage when you plug them in (usually together with virtual comport and some debugging interface). The Mass Storage class in mbed is used for flashing firmware by drag&drop, you just copy the file onto the virtual disk and it'll get written to the target chip's flash memory.
How this all works is really messy and hard to grasp; basically I have to generate pieces of FAT16 filesystem (the MBR, FAT and all that) on the fly and serve them to the PC, as well as parse its write attempts. Fortunately I could reuse parts of the actual mbed code for this.
In GEX, this virtual disk will be used to expose configuration files in the INI format. You simply open the file, edit some fields, save, and the changes will be applied. It would be annoying to have it pop up every time you boot your PC or connect the board, so I want to have a "LOCK" jumper which will hide the configuration drive when closed.
Now, regarding the actual communication, there are multiple choices: HID USB class, CDC/ACM class or a custom class. For now I'm focusing on CDC/ACM, which is nothing but a virtual comport. That should make it work nicely with Windows without having to research writing drivers and going through that certification nonsense. One slight variation on this should be the option to hide the comport and access it via libusb as "vendor specific class", maintaining the same USB endpoints but just changing the class in the descriptor. Whether this will work well or not is yet to be seen. So far I know this trick works for hiding the configuration disk with the LOCK jumper.
Perhaps the most important part of the device is the "meat" of the whole application, functional blocks. There should be one block for each peripheral or function, like Pin, SPI, ADC sampling, frequency measurement etc. Those blocks can be instantiated using the config INI file and then will be addresable via the communication interface. The settings are persisted in a binary format at the end of the built-in Flash memory.
Now, how? I picked STM32, ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers which I used in many previous projects and development boards with them are really cheap, e.g. on eBay (search for the "Bluepill" board). Those chips have a lot of nice peripherals, are fast and have quite a lot of RAM and Flash—at least compared to the pittance you get in Arduino.
For the initial development I chose STM32F103C8T6, that's the chip on the Bluepill board. It has 64 kB Flash and 20 kB RAM, which is not much but should be sufficient for a start. This imposes some constraints on the development and makes me work more carefully with the resources available. That's important for porting it to even smaller devices later. Switching to a larger STM32 should be straightforward; I have plans to support at least STM32F303 and STM32F407. Adding support for STM32F042 would also be very nice, but it's too small for the full system as I have it planned, so it'll likely come without the virtual disk part and settings will be loaded using the virtual comport, which is a feature I want to have in the regular build as well, actually.
To set up the firmware project, I decided to use STM32 CubeMX. This tool can generate the basic project structure for many IDEs, unfortunately the good ones are all for Windows and paid or limited and STM32SW4, which works on Linux, is really bad (it's based on Eclipse, which pretty much says it all). But: The tool can now also generate a Makefile! Aha! So I made it work with CLion by supplying a dummy CMakeLists.txt and can now enjoy all the CLion goodies with a student licence. It should be possible to use CMake directly but I had some poor luck with that. There's a small gotcha, the Makefile is broken after you generate it by CubeMX, but the fix is simple—deduplicate source files and fix the compiler path.
As for the software stack, GEX is based on FreeRTOS. I never used RTOS before, so learnign that is a nice by-product. This is also the first time I really work with USB, luckily the STM USB Device library works quite well.
It enumerates, pops up in /dev/ and opens a "new disk" notification (even on Windows!). This means both the SCSI component and the virtual filesystem work correctly.
You can use the INI file to create instances of the Pin unit to light up LEDs on different pins. Blinking them is at not possible yet as I'm still working on the communication protocol. Virtual comport already works, though.
The LOCK jumper is also implemented, closing it makes the virtual disk invisible to the OS, unfortunately you need to re-plug the board for that to take effect, which is something I hope to fix.
If you're interested in the project, follow me on Mastodon (@MightyPork@dev.glitch.social) and I'm sure you'll get your fill of updates.

And I'm back with a summery of my week. Still busy, busy, busy @ HQ Hamman. First up - I did get some time to make a few cards. My inspiration came from the SimonSaysStamp blog. The Monday challenge is "About a face". Now, I'm not big on cards or faces but decided to try it out and get some pressies made for my Xmas stash.
Now for the upcoming wedding. Finally, I'm at 7/8 of the bridesmaid dresses. Bridesmaid #8 is in Hawaii and will only be back in Sunny SA a week before the wedding - that one will therefore have to wait.
I have enough fabric left over from the bridesmaid dresses to make this. Waste not, want not!! Of course I'll have to omit the white trim as only black is allowed in the winter wonderland wedding. Watch this space and I'll share my effort.
I used these as table decor and afterwards added self adhesive magnet paper left over from other DIY projects and now they are fridge magnets!! Love them!!
I'm still in paint mood and while everything is out on my craft desk, I did a "spots and dots" page.
You will see this one again - just keep checking back!!
I did try something new!! To fillet a fish. OK, please don't try your skills on baby hake like I did but still, it worked out wonderfully. Wynand and I had a WONDERFUL fish and chips meal outside @ the pool. Love. love, love.
What more could you expect of an ordinary week. Food. Family. Occasions. Craft?? I love my life.
Thanks for looking at my blog. I'll be back to share some more crafting fun right here.
Beautiful cards! Love the elegant images and fancy florals! Thanks for joining along with the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!

Criterion's November, Wind Rises, Kiki & Mononoke, Metallica & more Star Wars BD rumors
August 18, 2014 - 4:24 am	| by	Bill Hunt
Okay… unfortunately your dedicated editor is a little bit under the weather today, so I'm going to keep this quick in order to try and rest my way out of this blasted cold.
Nevertheless, we do have some good announcement news for you today, so let's get right to it. [Read on here…]
First, Criterion has announced their November release slate, which is as follows: Look for Monte Hellman's The Shooting/Ride in the Whirlwind on 11/11 (Cat #734/735 – Blu-ray and DVD), Frank Capra's It Happened One Night on 11/18 (Cat #736 – Blu-ray and DVD), and Michelangelo Antonioni's L'avventura (Cat #98 – Blu-ray and DVD), Les Blank: Always for Pleasure (Cat #737 – Blu-ray and DVD), and Sydney Pollack's Tootsie (Cat #738 – Blu-ray and DVD) on 11/25. All but the Capra title are now available for pre-order on Amazon.com by clicking on the title links (we'll add that one when it's live).
Also, as we've expected for a few days now, Disney has just officially listed Hayao Miyazaki's animated The Wind Rises for Blu-ray and DVD release on 11/18. That same day, they're also releasing Miyazaki's Princess Mononoke and Kiki's Delivery Service on Blu-ray (they've previously been available on DVD here in the States). Again, click on the title links to pre-order.
On the music front, look for Metallica: Some Kind of Monster on Blu-ray and DVD on 11/28.
And for the holidays, Anderson Merchandisers and Classic Media have set a Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: 50th Anniversary Edition for Blu-ray release on 11/4.
Finally this morning, a new flurry of "exclusive" reports have been circulating around the Net over the weekend to the effect that Disney is planning to release the original theatrical versions of the classic Star Wars films on Blu-ray. I'll have more to say on this in the next couple of days, but in the meanwhile, I'll refer you all to our original comments on this subject here at The Bits from way back in May. What I said then still stands. Do give that column a read – it will no doubt be new to some of you and a refresher for the rest.
All right, it's back to bed for me. I'll be back tomorrow as usual. In the meantime, if there's another disturbance in The Force we'll let you know.
Thanks for your patience and stay tuned…

US police attack, arrest immigration protesters
The data was added on ,	6 July 2018 read 420 times.
US police have attacked a large number of people in the states of New Mexico and Philadelphia protesting against President Donald Trump's "zero tolerance" policy on immigration that separated children from migrant parents on the US-Mexico border.
On Thursday night, police used force against the protesters, arrested a dozen of them and ushered them out of the New Mexico Statehouse.
Miles Conway, a union official who helped organize the demonstrations, said that protesters who refused to leave the Capitol were led from the building and released with citations for trespassing.
Police also arrested three protesters who refused to leave the governor's offices and were charged with resisting arrest. Eleanor Chavez, Marlene Perrotte and Susan Schuurman were driven away in a police patrol car.
Hundreds of protesters arrived at the New Mexico state Capitol in the afternoon in coordination with demonstrations in Washington, DC, where police arrested hundreds of people.
The protesters called on Republican Governor Susana Martinez to end the deployment of the New Mexico National Guard at the border with Mexico and demand that Trump show respect for the rights of asylum seekers and immigrant families.
Police also broke up an encampment outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Philadelphia, where dozens of protesters took over sidewalks to protest against the separation of immigrant children from parents on Thursday.
The Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy towards illegal immigration has led to family separations at the US border with Mexico.
Facing overwhelming bipartisan backlash, the US president signed an executive order last week to halt the separations.
The Republican president has vowed to crack down on immigration but has failed to get his complete agenda through so far.
More than 2,000 separated children are currently in the US government's custody, according to the Department of Homeland Security, which claims that it is aware of their locations and is making an effort to reunite them with their families.

Fall is Here, Time To Winterize Your Kennel For Winter!
Some parts of Denver have already had a dusting of snow this season. It is time to prepare your kennel for winter! Snowstorms, below zero temperatures, and icy winds can harm your dog's safety and not to mention their discomfort! Just like humans, they are susceptible to sickness and frostbite if kept too long in the cold. There are a few things you can do to winterize your kennel to make it a warm, safe haven for your dog. Boundary Fence and Supply Company gives you tips on how to get your kennel warm enough for your pooch!
A privacy fence can block the kennel from winds if placed strategically on the sides. If the kennel backs up to a house or to landscaping that would work as a natural barrier, use a privacy fence on the other sides. When necessary, on particularly cold days, a tarp can be used to enclose the kennel on top, or to close a side of the kennel, if there are not privacy panels all the way around to block wind. If at all possible, cover outdoor runs or kennels with a tarp if snow or ice is in the forecast.
Pea gravel provides a comfortable alternative to concrete during the winter months. Snow and ice are not so easily accumulated on pea gravel as they do on concrete. Gravel drains exceptionally well, and the chances of standing water turning to ice is minimal. After it snows, what is left from the day will re freeze at night on typical concrete or even grass. Gravel allows the water to drain. The flexible gravel protects the dog's pads as well as provides ease for cleaning.
If you would like to provide heating, consider heating with a natural gas. The natural gas will produce a drier heat. A good temperature to keep is around 60 degrees Fahrenheit year round.
Having a dog box reinforced with marsh hay bedding will help insulate the dog house. Make your dog's bed comfortable, with thick carpet pads, blankets and dog beds.

The technique of independent component analysis (ICA) has been utilized in digital image and audio watermarking. In this paper, it is applied to improve the security of 3D geometry watermarking by using the ICA de-mixing matrix for transformation. An orthogonal transformation (OT) matrix is further employed so that another watermarking scheme is generated. With the same embedding method, the two watermarking schemes are implemented on the test models. The experimental results show that they have similar performance in imperceptibility and capacity. As both of them have the properties of blind extraction and security, the OT-based scheme can be regarded as a simplified version of the ICA-based one with less computational cost.

Yevroset Announces Plans to Cut Staff
MTChichvarkin speaking in an interview last week. He said Yevroset's sale to Mamut had helped with liquidity problems.
Yevroset said Wednesday that it was cutting jobs as the financial crisis threatens to slow economic growth.
The total work force of 35,000 is being reduced by "several percent," spokeswoman Natalya Aristova said by telephone. The cuts will affect office employees, rather than sales workers, at the country's largest mobile phone retailer.
Billionaire owner Alexander Mamut may announce an agreement "within days" to sell a stake of as much as 49 percent in the retailer to VimpelCom, the country's second-biggest mobile phone operator, Yevroset chairman Yevgeny Chichvarkin said Tuesday in an interview.
VimpelCom applied to regulators for permission to take a stake in Yevroset, spokeswoman Yekaterina Osadchaya said, without elaborating.
Borrowing requirements for Yevroset will increase at the end of next month as it buys inventory for the Christmas holiday, said Chichvarkin, who with partner Timur Artemyev sold the company to Mamut last month.
"It helps to have a new shareholder being a rich, clear company," Chichvarkin said of Mamut's ANN investment firm, through which Yevroset was acquired.
Without Mamut, the company had been at risk of paying back "a lot of loans" and ending up short of cash, he said.
"Two and half weeks ago, we were all waiting for what we've got today: a strong support of liquidity," Chichvarkin said. "If it had happened then, we may not have done this deal. Back then, there were more modest measures because fighting inflation" was more important to the government, he added.
Kommersant reported last month that the billionaire paid $400 million in cash and assumed about $850 million of borrowings, citing a source familiar with the matter.
