This free to watch webinar on the challenges and risks behind working remotely, and how companies are managing this in practice was part of the virtual conference Managing Risk and Litigation that took place on the 18-19 November. Complete the fields below to access the 40-minute recording of this discussion. The webinar starts with the speakers discussing whether productivity levels within their teams and within their companies have been maintained, increased or dwindled while working remotely. The discussion also touches on the return to the office, surveillance monitoring to check productivity, whether there are any privacy and human rights legal issues in doing so, and how organisations have tackled risk management in general. Other issues include: What are the impacts of companies having their core teams and senior management working remotely for most of 2020? Understanding the main risk areas of remote working and the challenges behind managing regulatory risks in this context: what type of work can and cannot be sensibly done from home? How have organisations dealt with the issue of decreased monitoring? What is the regulator's expected response to issues arising from the decrease in monitoring?

Webinar: Finding your voice: empathy, confidence and assertiveness in the workplace
This free to watch webinar on the role of empathy, confidence and assertiveness in the workplace, and at gender biases in the legal industry was part of the virtual conference Managing Risk and Litigation that took place on the 18-19 November. Complete the fields below to access the 40-minute recording of this discussion. The webinar features 4 inspirational women working in litigation and the lessons they have to share with the rest of the industry, with the discussion moderated by The Lawyer editor Catrin Griffiths. Empathy, confidence and assertiveness should not just be the burden of women. Nevertheless, there are particular traits that seem to be associated with gender and an expectation that all women must have the impostor syndrome. In fact, the panel stresses how the idea that all women "are going around feeling like they're incapable of doing their job effectively" can be quite damaging. Other interesting concepts discussed in this webinar include the notion of "guarding your voice" and how it's all about choice: you are the one deciding when to speak, but also when to be silent. Often for those with an impostor syndrome, the issue is about making the choice not to speak when they know they should speak. "So don't hold back, because you will have something important to say, something highly relevant that needs to be factored into the decision making". And if people don't really want to listen to your advice, it's because it might be difficult advice to take on board, and not a reflection on you as an individual. Speakers: Carol Paton, Head of Litigation & Investigations, NatWest Claire Darwin, Matrix Chambers Chinwe Odigboegwu, Senior Commercial Legal Manager & Secretary, Diversity and Inclusion Board, Guinness Nigeria Charlotte Digby, Chief Counsel – Litigation and dispute resolution, Rolls-Royce Moderator: Catrin Griffiths, Editor, The Lawyer
Webinar: Managing hearings and trials more efficiently with technology
This free to watch webinar on how the legal industry has embraced the "tech revolution" of 2020 and the challenges of virtual hearings was part of the virtual conference Managing Risk and Litigation that took place on the 18-19 November. Complete the fields below to access the 40-minute recording of this discussion. Virtual court hearings and trials are concepts that at the start of 2020 seemed futuristic to most of us. But the last 9 months have shown us that the technology is there, and the issue is mostly with culture and our willingness to embrace change. So, what are the permanent long-term changes we can expect from this year's tech revolution? Can technology truly make things more efficient? Watching a screen all day is quite different from being in the courtroom. It is almost impossible to pick up the nuances, and there are genuine concerns when it comes to witnesses not being in the same room, despite the fact that it has been commonplace in English trials for a while now for certain witnesses to give their evidence by video. The conclusion is that we should expect a more institutionalised change around the optimal way of running a trial, now that we've seen what can be achieved through the use of technology. Watch the full webinar for further thoughts and predictions from Sir Nigel Teare, 10 Fleet Street and Dorothy Cory-Wright, Partner at Dechert.

By A. J. Baime·	 5/15/2006, 3:43 p.m.
It's just before 10 a.m., and four teenagers are jamming out their second Led Zeppelin tune of the day. On drums, Needham's own Alex Freedman is doing his best John Bonham imitation, beating drums with sticks as thick as his arms. Corey Francer of Sharon provides the backbone on bass, while guitarist Ben Peskoe of Briarcliff, New York, slams power chords, his amplifier turned up as far as it goes. Matt Pollack of Sudbury screeches lyrics into the microphone, his voice rattling the windowpanes of the wooden shack we're standing in.
At Camps Kenwood-Evergreen in rural Potter Place, New Hampshire-sleep-away camps for boys and girls, respectively-it's a typical morning. The band is practicing for "Hollowpallooza," a rock show, put on by kids, that will take place in a week in the Hollow, a grassy nook with a hill that creates a natural amphitheater. The show is one of the highlights of the summer. The band finishes the song, and I move in, reporter's pad in hand. "What's the name of the band?" I ask Pollack, the singer.
One! Two! Three! The band kicks in, the windowpanes rattle, my eardrums threaten to burst. One thing is for sure: These kids couldn't get away with this kind of fun at this time of day in their suburban hometowns. Not a chance.
Times have changed since I went to Camp Kenwood for seven summers starting in 1981 at age nine. We didn't have electric guitars and synthesizers. There was no rock concert with digital video cameras to capture the event. Essentially, we had flashlights with batteries. Our guitars were in fact tennis rackets and lacrosse sticks.
The journey back begins with two old camp friends on a hot night at a bar in downtown Boston a few days before my visit. Most people have to dig up childhood friends. These guys? They're on my speed dial.
"Camp was the most gratifying, esteem-building experience of my childhood," says David Wiener, 33, a lawyer at Palmer & Dodge who spent 12 summers as a camper and a counselor.
There's a common theme that runs through camp memories-an innocence, a sense of pleasure and comfort that none of us, we agree, has ever managed to find anywhere else, ever again. But what exactly was it? How to define it?
Smith emphasizes that, while camps these days can be expensive-a summer at Kenwood-Evergreen, for example, goes for up to $7,200, more than double what it cost in the early 1980s-kids benefit from all kinds of camp experiences, including those at the lower end of the price range. There are day camps, sleep-away camps, one-week camps, and four-week camps. There are golf camps, theater camps, and camps for budding young stock analysts or comedians.
As the price of high-end camps has gone up, other things have changed, too. Parents now expect-and get-elaborate facilities, including Little League-sized, lighted replicas of Fenway Park, working Viking ships, radio stations, animation studios, climbing towers, scuba programs, and golf courses. Staff training is intensive, and counselors are closely vetted (by law in Massachusetts). Such demands-and competition from specialty programs like computer camps, football camps, and weight-loss camps-have conspired to put dozens of traditional camps out of business. But, having added all of these amenities, New England's best camps continue to attract the children of America's elite.
Something else has changed, too: the way parents choose a camp. Today, consultants help match campers to summer programs at no cost to the family (they're paid commissions by the camps). And parents are encouraged to visit a camp in person the year before they're ready to ship their kids off for the summer. It's like the college tour for the SpongeBob set.
The ACA's study should be out sometime later this year. I figured I'd do some research on my own, take a trip back in time to try to pinpoint exactly what it was that makes me so nostalgic for those long-ago summers. Ten years had passed since I'd seen the place. I had looked forward to exploring the nuances, but had come seeking something far more particular. What I saw was not what I expected; what I found was exactly what I was looking for.
Maya Perry, 12, is wearing underwear on her head. She and her friends are dancing to a Michael Jackson tune in Spruce Lodge, a creaky wooden bunk built back in 1952. They're twirling and shimmying, practicing for tonight's lip-synch competition. It's not going too well: No one can seem to do the actual lip-synching because they can't stop laughing.
Almost every kid who shows up at this camp comes back the next summer. And the one after that. In my time, there were about 200 campers at Kenwood-Evergreen. Now there are close to 300. They hail from all over the country. Most of the counselors are former campers, except for those who come from Europe or Down Under on summer-exchange programs.
I stop off at Eagle Pond to watch a few 11-year-old boys test out a new tube. They're getting dragged behind a boat at 20 miles per hour. Even from the dock, I can spot the whiteness of their teeth. They're laughing so hard, they can't shut their mouths.
"Hey, kid, how's the new tube?" I ask one tuber, Joel Kruger.
Beneath some swaying evergreen boughs, Scott Brody sits on a bench, clipboard in hand. When I was a camper here, Scott was a counselor. Now the 38-year-old ex-litigator owns the camp. His face is one of many still familiar to me: Judy Sharenow, Phyllis Dank, Jacki Mitchell. In turn, it's remarkable how they remember my age, my sister's name, and my favorite activities, even though I haven't seen them in more than a decade. As Scott talks about what's involved in running a summer camp, I realize how little I knew about what was going on around me when I was young, how pleasantly oblivious I was.
Creating the camp experience is not unlike making a film. A huge amount of planning, investment, and staffing goes into fashioning this world. If the job is done well, the campers experience the world without recognizing that it's entirely fabricated.
Though camps are meant to be retreats from the real world, they're not immune from the issues of modernity. The ACA has held forums on terrorism and the safety of children in a world rattled by kidnappings and sexual abuse. Assuring parents that their 8-year-olds are in good hands is a serious issue for camp directors. To help reassure parents, many sleep-away camps have created websites on which snapshots of the kids are posted every day. Parents need a password to get into the site. At Kenwood-Evergreen, the camp's retired director and former owner, Arthur Sharenow, a long-time photographer, wanders the grounds each day shooting new pictures.
Diversity is also an issue, especially at high-end camps. An increasing number of camps offer scholarships to kids from abroad and from inner cities. Last year, directors at Kenwood-Evergreen, which has long had a scholarship program, launched Mickey's Kids, a new program named after the camp's beloved longtime leader, Mickey Dank, who died in 2002. Dank's friends hold a golf tournament every fall to raise money to send inner-city kids to camp. Once a child is selected, he or she is offered a full ride not just for one summer, but for his or her entire youth up to the age of 15.
This time around, there's no underwear on heads. These girls mean business. They strut, they spin, they gaffe through song after song, and the entire hall erupts with laughter.
The next group pulls out every move in the book-spinning, high kicking, all of it in unison. An hour later, every girl in the house has stepped onto the stage and given it her all.
At the end of the contest, no particular group wins. Around here, everybody wins. And as is custom at the end of a day, the campers launch into song and start laughing and hugging as if this were the best day they've ever lived. The new campers learn all the camp songs within their first week. They're the same songs I learned that first summer more than 20 years ago. What the hell! Might as well join in.
And just like that, I realize what the magic is. Looking around, it's clear that these girls aren't shy. Around here, the idea of self-consciousness does not exist. It's as if that feeling has been stripped from their vocabulary of emotions. Imagine it: a world without an inner dialogue, devoid of social discomfort, of second-guessing oneself. Where else can a 32-year-old man feel perfectly comfortable clapping his hands with 9-year old girls, singing old showtunes at the top of his lungs, hitting the high notes in two-part harmony?

- Experience Level (including any previous admin work) : Well... I started playing CS back in december 1999. Most of the servers I was admin at don't exist anymore for a long time last one I was admin for was 'Balls Of Steel' quite some time ago.
- Average amount of time on our servers per day : I dont know since I have a job and a wife I think around 1-2h on average I dont keep count tho.
- After answering these questions, please provide a brief introduction of your life (hobbies, studies etc.) as well as your motivation for helping to moderate our servers.
Well I currently work as a test engineer for a car brand here in Belgium.
I think I can make an extra impact with some more admin tools, I try to moderate without them and I think I'm not doing a bad job keeping people calm.
I love playing on the servers and try to make it a place that is fun for everyone.
If you have any doubts i am sure I can try and resolve them.
I feel like you could've done a way better job with the application itself, you're 33 years old I'm sure theres a lot more to tell about yourself other than the basic what you do for a living etc. Other than that you're a cool guy and you're chill. I do remember you losing your cool a couple times but that's normal for everyone.
During a period around 2002-2006 I was a semi pro CS player played in some top 3 clans in BE and resigned from competitive CS after the clan utopia went on to become 4DFX.
Thats my note about you , its a Yes for me , and GL !
Hey Younes thanks for the support !
Yeah Crux I agree with you on that one, tho the reason why I lost my cool was that he did it 2 times the day before as well.
My biggest largest PRO is an CON as well, I hate to be treated in an unfair way for myself and others the person did a FK i think a round or 2 before would not listen to any verbal warnings.
Then FKed me, I also think that the person we are talking about is not playing on the server anymore or mb changed his name.
All of this is not my defence ! I lost my cool and was wrong putting myself above the rules.
Why not, genuinely a nice active and friendly lad. Rule knowledge is above standard and definitely is a well known regular who stands out. Could focus a bit more on moderating and reporting from time to time but overall he is member material. A certain yes from me.
To begin off with, ur a nice guy and always calm no matter what happens. I am sure you can handle the server by urself easily. You've never did anything wrong in my eyes so that brings you automatically to a positive point.
He knows the rules pretty well.
He recently got a mic so he can moderate.
Last edited by SNap on Fri Mar 23, 2018 4:56 pm, edited 1 time in total.
I dont see why not, you command and your english is good. ontop of that you are a really nice guy and listen and talk to other players. I been playing with you for years now and I cant see anything bad about you. wishing you goodluck on the apply.
Hey guys thanks for the great support never thought I would get such a support !
My dear Belgium friend !
You are a very well known player here ! You well know the rules, you try to add some fun in JB and you always stay calm.
Of course, you could report more, but i'm pretty sure you will handle the hard situations ingame.
It's a big YES for me !
Good luck with your application my belgium neighboor !
PS : Mange une frite !

WhatsApp encryption is end-to-end
Written By Mister Mobility. Last updated: March 30th, 2017. Originally published on April 5th, 2016.
For years, WhatsApp has been at the end of jibes about privacy issues in the instant messaging space. has added end-to-end encryption to every form of communication on its service. There have been criticisms about how the service handles user privacy. Today, WhatsApp has flipped the switch by turning on end-to-end encryption for all activities and communications carried out on the service.
What WhatsApp has done is to secure every call you make, and every message, photo, video, file, and voice message you send, even group chats, end-to-end by default.
In plain English: when you send a message, the only person who can read it is the person or group chat that you send that message to. No one can see inside that message. Not cybercriminals. Not hackers. Not oppressive regimes. Not even workers at WhatsApp.
Who would have thought? This is great news. You need the latest version of the app to enjoy this though. I am guessing that that excludes BlackBerry OS, BlackBerry 10 OS, Windows Phone 7 OS and Symbian OS, all of which WhatsApp had announced they would no longer be developing for. Encryption is turned on by default once you have the latest version of the app, so you need do nothing other than update.
Worth celebrating; yeah!?

1 א
אין בשלה אלא שלימה ר' שמעון בן יוחאי אומר אין בשלה אלא שנתבשלה עם האיל
and the term "cooked" indicates that the verse is referring only to a foreleg that is whole. Rabbi Shimon ben Yoḥai disagrees and says: The term "cooked" indicates that the verse is referring only to a foreleg that is cooked with the entire ram.
2 ב
דכולי עלמא בהדי איל מבשל לה מר סבר מחתך לה והדר מבשל לה ומר סבר מבשל לה והדר מחתך לה
The Gemara clarifies their dispute: Everyone agrees that one cooks the foreleg with the rest of the ram. But one Sage holds that one first cuts the foreleg off the animal and then cooks it along with the rest of the animal. And one Sage, Rabbi Shimon bar Yoḥai, holds that one first cooks the entire ram and then cuts off the foreleg.
3 ג
ואי בעית אימא דכ"ע מחתך לה והדר מבשל לה מיהו מר סבר בהדי איל מבשל לה ומר סבר בקדרה אחרת מבשל לה
And if you wish, say that everyone agrees that one first cuts off the foreleg and then cooks it. But one Sage, Rabbi Shimon bar Yoḥai, holds that one cooks the foreleg with the rest of the ram, and one Sage holds that he cooks the foreleg in another pot, separate from the rest of the ram.
4 ד
ללישנא קמא אליבא דדברי הכל ללישנא בתרא אליבא דרבי שמעון בן יוחאי
The foreleg of the nazirite's ram is permitted to be eaten only by a priest, whereas the rest of the ram is eaten by the nazirite even if he is not a priest. Consequently, according to the first formulation, all agree that the principle of nullification may be derived from here, since all agree that the foreleg is cooked together with the rest of the ram, and yet it does not cause the rest of the ram to be forbidden to a non-priest. According to the latter formulation, the principle of nullification may be derived from here in accordance with the opinion of Rabbi Shimon ben Yoḥai, who says that the foreleg is cooked together with the rest of the ram. But according to the latter formulation the first tanna holds that the foreleg is not cooked with the rest of the ram, in which case the principle of nullification cannot be derived from here.
5 ה
מאן דאמר בששים סבר בשר ועצמות בהדי בשר ועצמות משערינן והוה ליה בששים מאן דאמר במאה סבר בשר בהדי בשר משערינן והוה ליה במאה
The Gemara now returns to the dispute about whether non-kosher food is nullified in sixty or one hundred times its volume of kosher food, and explains how each opinion is derived from the halakha of the foreleg of the nazirite's ram. The one who said that non-kosher food is nullified in sixty times its volume of kosher food holds that we assess the ratio of meat and bones of the foreleg to the meat and bones of the rest of the ram, and this is a ratio of one to sixty. The one who said that non-kosher food is nullified in one hundred times its volume of kosher food holds that we assess only the volume of the meat of the foreleg to the meat of the rest of the ram, and this is a ratio of one to one hundred.
6 ו
ומי ילפינן מינה והתניא זהו היתר הבא מכלל איסור זהו למעוטי מאי לאו למעוטי כל איסורין שבתורה
The Gemara asks: And do we derive the principles of nullification from the case of the nazirite's ram? But isn't it taught in a baraita with regard to the nazirite's ram, which absorbs the flavor of the foreleg with which it was cooked: This is a case of permitted meat that comes from the category of forbidden food, i.e., it is permitted despite the fact that it was cooked with forbidden food. The Gemara infers: What does the expression: This is, in the baraita serve to exclude? Does it not serve to exclude all the other forbidden foods that are in the Torah? This indicates that only the cooked foreleg of the nazirite's ram is nullified in sixty or one hundred times its volume of permitted food, but other prohibited foods are not subject to the principle of nullification.
7 ז
אמר אביי לא נצרכא אלא לרבי יהודה דאמר מין במינו לא בטיל קמ"ל דהכא בטיל
The Gemara answers that Abaye said: This emphasis is necessary only according to the opinion of Rabbi Yehuda, who said that in general, a type of food mixed with food of its own type is not nullified. Therefore the baraita teaches us that here, the flavor imparted by the foreleg to the rest of the nazirite's ram is nullified.
8 ח
וליגמר מיניה גלי רחמנא (ויקרא טז, יח) ולקח מדם הפר ומדם השעיר תרוייהו בהדי הדדי נינהו ולא בטלי
The Gemara objects: Let Rabbi Yehuda learn from this case that all forbidden food can be nullified when it is mixed with permitted food of its own type. The Gemara explains: The Merciful One revealed in the Torah: "And he shall take of the blood of the bull and of the blood of the goat and put it upon the corners of the altar round about" (Leviticus 16:18). Both of these two bloods are mixed with each other, and although a bull has more blood than a goat has, the verse makes reference to the blood of the goat, indicating that it maintains its own identity and is not nullified.
9 ט
ומאי חזית דגמרי' מהאיך ליגמר מהאי חדוש הוא ומחדוש לא גמרינן
The Gemara asks: And according to Rabbi Yehuda, what did you see that caused you to derive a principle from that verse with regard to the blood of the bull and the blood of the goat? Derive a principle from this verse about the foreleg of the nazirite's ram. The Gemara answers: The case of the nazirite's ram is a novelty, because even when nullification does apply one may not nullify a forbidden food ab initio, whereas here one is supposed to cook the foreleg together with the rest of the ram; and we do not learn principles from a novelty.
10 י
אי הכי למאה וס' נמי לא ליגמר
The Gemara challenges: If so, if Rabbi Yehuda does not consider the case of the nazirite's ram a viable precedent for general halakhic principles, then let him also not learn from that case that when forbidden food is mixed with permitted food of a different type, it is nullified in either one hundred or sixty times its own volume. As discussed above, the two opinions in this regard are each based on the case of the nazirite's ram.
11 יא
אטו אנן לקולא גמרינן לחומרא גמרינן דמדאורייתא ברובא בטיל
The Gemara explains: Is that to say that we learn that forbidden food is nullified in sixty or one hundred times its volume of permitted food as a leniency? We learn it only as a stringency, as if it were not for this derivation, we would say that by Torah law forbidden food is nullified in a mixture in which there is a simple majority of permitted food.
12 יב
רבא אמר לא נצרכא אלא לטעם כעיקר דבקדשים אסור קא משמע לן דהכא שרי
Rava stated an alternative explanation of the term: This is, which appears in the baraita with regard to the nazirite's ram: This limitation is necessary only for the principle that the halakhic status of the flavor of forbidden food is like that of its substance. If the flavor of sacrificial food is absorbed into another food, it renders that food forbidden, i.e., it is not nullified. Therefore, the baraita teaches us that here, in the case of the nazirite's ram, the rest of the ram is permitted even to non-priests.

Desert subterranean termites are a type of termite that are less dependent on moisture and decay than other types of subterranean termites and will readily attack sound, dry woods in a structure. Desert subterranean termites swarm at night during the rainy season in their areas, usually from July to September. Rainfall is important to the breeding pairs of termites as the moist soil provides them with a chance to burrow into the soil and excavate their own burrows. A typical colony can have up to 300, 000 termites, both workers and reproductive capable termites. Smaller colonies including these lesser reproductive capable termites can split off from the main colony and form smaller colonies of their own, making it very important during eradication to make sure that the entire infestation is cleared.
A good way to tell if you have desert subterranean termites is to check the rafters in your house for "drop-tubes" or structures that are about the width around of a pencil and are used as ventilation/passageways for the termites. These tubes can also be seen on sheetrock and plasterboard. You can also spot holes in the sheetrock or plasterboard that are plugged with feces (or "frass"). The tubes of the desert subterranean termite are more circular than those of the Western subterranean termite. If you spot these indications of infestation, try tapping on the wood nearest. Wood that has been infested with desert subterranean termites will sometimes sound or feel hollow.
Desert subterranean termites prefer a more arid environment for their colonies. They are one of the most common subterranean termite species in the state of Arizona. The desert subterranean termite can access a home through the smallest gap, sometimes gaps too small even for other termite species to use. They can use holes that are 1/32nd of an inch, gaps in concrete and masonry joins in walls, roofs and other wood structures in a building.
Like the arid-land subterranean termite, the desert termite traditionally inhabits desert plants such as creosote, dead cactus and greasewood shrubs. Now they are known for the destruction of untreated telephone poles, fence posts and abandoned buildings as well as damage to houses that are currently occupied.
Desert subterranean termites prefer to eat the "springwood" and the lignin in the summerwood of timber (the thicker portion of timber the grows during the non-dormant spring and summer).
Because of their propensity to from smaller colonies apart from the main colony, established infestations of desert subterranean termites can cover almost an acre in territory. Therefore it can be very difficult for the average homeowner to take care of the problem on their own. It is a good idea to contact a professional for an estimate of how large the actual population of desert subterranean termites on your property is.

Kirkwood Observatory
The Kirkwood Observatory combines both history and science at the campus of Indiana University. Under its dome the observatory houses a .03 meter refracting telescope that is open to be viewed by the public every Wednesday after sunset from March through November. The observatory's solar telescope
The observatory was built in 1901 and was named after Daniel Kirkwood, a renowned astronomer and Indiana University maths professor who had died only a few years before. At the time the observatory's telescope was only twelve inches, considered then as the height of technology. The Kirkwood Observatory quickly became a leader in the nation in the field of astronomy. Its scientists conducted groundbreaking research on comets, meteors, astroids, and visual binary stars. In 1907, Wilbur A. Cogshall was named Director of the Kirkwood Observatory. He set up an optical shop in the basement of the observatory, which he used to create eight, twelve, and twenty-four inch refractors for the telescope. This proved instrumental in the taking of photographs of the famous Halley's Comet, as well as other comets.
The building was renovated in 2001, and though the telescope is no longer used for scientific research, it is still used for educational purposes. Free viewings through the telescope are offered on Wednesday evenings, and special group showings are available by scheduling an appointment with the Department of Astronomy. Open houses for the solar telescope are often held every second Saturday.

Quasi-Inquisitorialism: Accounting for Deference in Pretrial Criminal Procedure
By Laurin, Jennifer E.
Police and prosecutorial activities that take place long before a criminal trial are frequently critical to, even dispositive of, the accuracy and reliability of case disposition. At the same time, the regulatory touch of constitutional criminal procedure in the pretrial realm is insistently light. Proposals to address actual or risked deficiencies in this arena have proliferated in recent years, exemplified by pushes for social-science-rooted investigative best practices, for broader defense access to evidence prior to trial, for more oversight in plea bargaining, and so on. But in the face of these critiques, broad pretrial discretion largely reigns.
A prevailing explanation for this state of affairs is rooted in our putative preference for an accusatory rather than inquisitorial system of criminal justice. And the leading solutions on offer frequently urge at least a partial turn away from adversarial obsession to embrace more inquisitorial traditions. The central argument of this Article is that this prevailing account is incomplete, and that the gaps have real world consequences for criminal justice reform. The Article uncovers an additional and consequential strain in the doctrinal narrative, one that depicts the pretrial world as the very inquisitorial, Continental mode that is so roundly rejected in the context of adjudication. This "quasi-inquisitorialism" in turn enables the Court to construct a separate realm of prosecutorial and police bureaucracy, professionalism, and expertise that purportedly fills the gap injudicial oversight. In addition to offering a fuller explanation of the structure of the Court's constitutional criminal procedure doctrine, this account aims for greater leverage for reform. The Article concludes by suggesting that exploiting this quasi-inquisitorial narrative might offer promising inroads--doctrinally, politically, or both--for reformed approaches to investigative oversight, pretrial discovery, and plea bargaining.
A man is arrested for robbery when a trained dog "matches" his scent to scraps of cloth at the crime scene, despite contradictory security video footage. (1) Another is convicted of theft based upon a witness who identifies him as she looks down from a fourth floor apartment into a dark parking lot. (2) An innocent young man pleads guilty to robbery after a sample of his DNA matches blood shed at the scene, only to be exonerated five years later when a laboratory mix-up comes to light and his cousin's DNA is found to be the true match. (3) A woman pleads guilty to fraud charges, not knowing that a key witness in the case had told FBI agents that the defendant's allegedly false statements were true. (4)
All of these cases share three features: they are real; they raise evident reliability and accuracy concerns; and, emanating as they do from evidence gathering and evaluation that occurs prior to trial, they are largely beyond criminal procedure's trial-focused regulatory reach.
The variety of ways in which pretrial activities have the potential to generate error is increasingly well documented. Social science research in particular has made valuable if unsettling contributions in this arena, demonstrating among other things that long-standard investigative techniques in relation to eyewitnesses and confessions raise serious accuracy concerns, that what passes as scientific evidence is sometimes unreliable in its foundations or in the manner in which it is generated, and that a variety of cognitive and motivational biases can lead investigations astray and confound the ability to catch errors down the road. (5) So, too, has recent work in law and social science illuminated the extent to which errors in gathering and assessing evidence prior to trial can "contaminate" a criminal investigation, be falsely corroborated through a variety of procedural missteps and cognitive errors, and remain undetected through systematic accuracy defects in the crucible of trial. …

Vince Staples drops new visual for "ARE YOU WITH THAT?"
The melodic cut can be found on Staples' new self-titled LP.
By Jon Powell
This past weekend, Vince Staples liberated his latest body of work, a self-titled album that sees 10 tracks and a single feature from Fousheé — the project's production is mainly handled by Kenny Beats. This week, fans get to check out a new visual from Vince Staples for the opening track "ARE YOU WITH THAT?," which sees him reflecting on his rough upbringing from a newer mindset:
"City goin' up, so you better bust, finna see who really one of us, really spillin' blood, everybody tough, 'til they gotta go and see the judge, nigga better hush, remember growin' up, all I wanted was to be a thug…"
As with previous drops, the accompanying clip for "ARE YOU WITH THAT?" seems to leave itself open for interpretation in more than a few ways. Directed by Jack Begert, the video begins with Staples running through the street, as others within the neighborhood (all played by Staples) look on. After making it to the end of said street, seemingly safe from whatever danger he was escaping from, Staples is then suddenly hit by a car, his subsequent fall taking place in slow motion. The video then switches to Staples standing on a lawn, where he gradually finds himself receding into the ground like a reverse plant. It all ends with a dog walking over the ground where Staples once stood. Expect to play all of this back several times.
Vince Staples follows 2018's FM!, an 11-song body of work that saw additional contributions from the likes of Kamaiyah, E-40, Jay Rock, Kehlani, Earl Sweatshirt, Buddy, Tyga, and Big Boy, the last of whom helped thread together FM!'s radio show concept. Staples' other two LPs, Summertime '06 and Big Fish Theory, made landfall in 2015 and 2017, respectively.
Press play on Vince Staples' "ARE YOU WITH THAT?" video below.

Watch what you eat: 5 Tips to help reduce your toxic plastic exposure in food and water
The National Library of Medicine defines microplastics as pieces of plastic smaller than 5 mm in size. Microplastics can be found in oceans, ocean seabeds, coastal waters, shorelines and the surface of the sea. They can even be found in food and water.
To limit your exposure to microplastics, take measures such as filtering the water you drink every day.
What are microplastic and how do they form?
Microplastics can be found in items like skincare products, synthetic clothing fabric and toothpaste. Additionally, microplastics are formed when larger pieces of plastic break apart into minuscule beads.
Because microplastics aren't removed by wastewater treatment after they've been washed down the drain, they eventually create problems in the environment. This is why scientists continue to find microplastics throughout the ocean and in marine life.
Why do you need to avoid microplastics?
Microplastics absorb and release chemicals and harmful pollutants. Ingredients or toxic chemicals absorbed by plastics can also build up and pollute the environment.
Studies are ongoing to determine if humans can also be exposed to these pollutants by consuming contaminated seafood. (Related: Why are tiny microplastics such a big deal? Understanding the harmful side effects of exposure, ingestion.)
Past research suggests that plastics in the body may have the following negative effects:
Acting as carcinogens.
Causing developmental delays in children.
Causing hearing loss.
Causing obesity.
Damaging organs.
Disrupting hormones.
Harming reproductive health.
Impairing your immune system.
A lot of plastic products often contain known toxins like bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates and styrene. While the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Chemistry Council urge for the close regulation of these chemicals, they are still widely used to make different plastic products.
Follow the tips below to protect yourself and your loved ones from microplastic exposure.
Bottled water products contain twice the amount of microplastics, so only drink from a water source that's been put through a high-quality water purification system. Water filtration will help eliminate harmful fluoride and other chemicals found in most municipal water supplies. Use carbon block water filters and biodegradable coconut shell-based carbon block filters to remove microplastics in the water you drink.
Eat fresh meat and organic fruits and vegetables. Purchase organically grown food, which are less likely to contain a lot of microplastics.
Only buy sea salt from trusted sources since some products may contain microplastics.
When heating food, don't heat your food in plastic containers. Use glass containers instead or simmer on the stove using quality cookware, like a ceramic pot or a cast-iron skillet.
Use less plastic, particularly single-use plastic items like plastic bags and plastic wrap. Use paper bags instead of plastic bags.
If you need to buy plastic products, avoid items with recycling codes 3, 6 and 7. Products with these codes are made with phthalates, styrene and BPAs, respectively.
Recycle plastic items that can be reused and repurposed. This helps prevent the production of more microplastics that will pollute the environment.
Don't throw plastic items in lakes, rivers, oceans or other bodies of water.
Vacuum regularly to prevent the buildup of microplastic-containing dust inside your home or office.
Microbeads are also added to certain health and beauty products, like toothpaste and facial scrub. Avoid products with microbeads to discourage manufacturers from using them.
Buy clothes made with non-synthetic clothing fibers, which can significantly contribute to microplastics pollution. Instead, wear clothes made of natural fibers like cotton.
Be mindful of the plastic waste you produce, filter the water you drink and consume more organic produce to limit your exposure to microplastics, which can negatively affect the environment and your health.

The intelligence review: the cybersecurity dimensions
25 Jul 2017|Fergus Hanson
The cybersecurity dimensions of the 2017 intelligence review report have been mostly overlooked, but it contains some interesting recommendations, as well as leaving considerable detail still to be worked out. The proposals don't fix all the issues faced by a system coming under heavy strain, but they add potentially helpful adjustments, several of them aligned with ASPI recommendations.
The big changes centre on the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) and the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC). The ACSC will formally operate as part of the ASD, with one minister having primary responsibility for the ACSC and cybersecurity. That minister is likely to be the new super-duper minister, Peter Dutton, but that's still to be determined.
The new head of the ACSC will be the prime minister's special adviser on cyber security, Alastair MacGibbon, who will serve 'as the single focus of accountability to the Government for cyber security'. The review proposes merging his team in PM&C into the ASCS. While that move makes a lot of sense, it could create some potentially challenging ministerial reporting lines that the taskforce set up to implement the changes will need to resolve. For example, depending on who the head of the ACSC ultimately reports to, MacGibbon could be reporting to the Home Affairs minister with his ACSC hat on, to the PM with his special adviser hat on, and to the Defence minister with his ASD hat on (given that the ACSC sits under ASD). The big advantage of the move is that putting MacGibbon in charge of the ACSC joins up his policy role with the doing side of the equation.
Centralising cybersecurity policymaking and drawing the operational agencies into one centre should improve MacGibbon's ability to encourage government departments to step up their cybersecurity defences. To facilitate that, the review suggests supporting more secondments from across government into the ACSC and allowing staff 'to retain their existing organisational authorities and ability to access data, information and capabilities from their home organisations'.
At present, MacGibbon faces what must be a very frustrating ritual of being hauled before Senate Estimates and asked to explain why government departments keep failing to meet minimum cybersecurity standards, while simultaneously having no authority to force them to step up their game. This change doesn't fix that disconnect, but it's a move in the right direction by combining policymaking with operational agencies.
With MacGibbon's strong links to industry, the new arrangement should also help improve industry engagement, including within the Joint Cyber Security Centres, which the review proposes remain the responsibility of the government's computer emergency response team, CERT Australia (which is also likely to move from the Attorney-General's portfolio to Home Affairs and be placed within the ACSC).
The suggested appointment of an intelligence coordinator for cybersecurity 'to meet and manage the growing expectations of the ACSC, particularly in safeguarding the security of government networks' also makes sense. That official would report to the head of the ACSC.
The suggestion to stand up a 24/7 'capability to manage public messaging and policy advice in relation to rapidly emerging cyber events' is a strong one, given Australia's thus far advantageous time zone, which gives us a handy lead time to prepare for attacks that are first unleashed on the other side of the planet. It should also assist with communication deficiencies highlighted by recent cyber incidents.
The move to officially broaden ASD's mandate is another important change, and updates its role to fit contemporary realities. As my colleague Andrew Davies has noted with encryption, there are plenty of areas where our legislation is lagging.
Finally, the review provides some striking assessments of the cyber-threat landscape, suggesting this is a beginning rather than the end:
One of the most worrying aspects of technological change is the way it is helping to place enormously destructive capabilities within easier reach of rogue states and non-state actors. This trend is not reversible and it will lead to an even more threatening international environment than now exists.
In our view, the challenge of protecting the integrity, confidentiality and availability of systems and data will only become more important and more complex. Defensive and proactive technical security measures will increasingly be at the core of strategies to secure systems and data. Whether it is in relation to data analytics, encryption, decryption, data protection generally or the use of cyberspace, collaboration and co-operation between Australia's intelligence agencies and the private sector will become increasingly necessary and relevant, not least because in important specific areas private sector ICT innovation and technology application are more advanced.
