COELAN Transparent Matte (Silk) Finish is primarily intended for top coat applications over existing COELAN Transparent Gloss Coating only.
COELAN Boat Coating products are the most cost effective coating system worldwide. Once applied COELAN boat coating will not require any re-application for many years. COELAN Transparent Matte (Silk) Finish is primarily intended for top coat applications over existing COELAN Transparent Gloss Coating only.
COELAN Transparent Matte (Silk) Finish Boat Coating is a single component, elastic, UV and abrasion resistant, water vapor permeable polyurethane coating. This coating product is normally applied where a low gloss or matte finish is desired. Due to its inherent slippery finish the Matte (Silk) Finish Coating should not be applied to decks, steps and any area where secure footing or a good handhold is desired. In addition this product should not be colored with COELAN Color Paste.
As an example COELAN Transparent Matte Finish Coating can be applied only over existing COELAN Transparent Gloss Coating found on masts and other spars, hatch covers, various trim pieces, wood furniture, skin on frame (SOF) kayaks, rubber dinghies, luxury yacht and recreational vehicle (RV) interiors and other surfaces.
Since 1954 COELAN has been setting the highest standards in liquid polyurethane coating quality and beauty! COELAN coatings are the best coating products on the marine paint and coating market. Once applied, this single component coating will not require re-coating for many years. Significant cost saving associated with reduction in material, maintenance frequency and labor can be achieved. COELAN coating is a proprietary micro-porous formulation allowing a one way transfer of moisture into the atmosphere which prevents cracking or lifting of the coating. The coating has been proven to be a cost effective and very long lasting replacement for varnish and paint.

Though it looks like the apparatus for an elaborate chemical experiment, this device by Hammacher Schlemmer is actually a coffee maker of sorts. It's a Slow Drip Cold Coffee Brewer – a device that draws inspiration from the Kyoto style cold brewed coffee that's found in Japan. Cold brews are considered to be superior because while hot coffee brewers release acid during brewing and give you bitter-tasting coffee, cold brewers use ice water to extract a concentrated brew that maintains coffee's natural flavor.
The prepared coffee can be stored in the fridge for up to one week and for those who like it hot, you can preserve the non-bitter taste by warming it in a microwave. Storage is pretty important in this case because the brewer makes 90 oz. of coffee over several hours. With that much time and $1,950 on the line, we'll understand if you stick to instant coffee instead!

Florence is nation's second wettest storm, behind Harvey
Originally published September 25, 2018 at 8:34 am Updated September 29, 2018 at 9:04 pm
SETH BORENSTEIN
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hurricane Florence was the nation's second rainiest storm in 70 years, a top rainfall meteorologist calculated.
Only last year's Hurricane Harvey rained more over a 14,000 square mile (36,260 square kilometers) area during a four-day time period, said Ken Kunkel, a meteorologist at the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration and North Carolina State University.
Scientists said climate change likely boosted rainfall totals for both storms.
In the wake of Florence
Flooding in Florence's final stand not as bad as feared
Florence's slow-motion havoc leaves thousands of evacuees in limbo
House approves $1.7 billion in disaster aid for Carolinas
Florence is nation's second-wettest storm, behind Harvey
Carolinas begin reckoning with loss of homes, livelihoods
Damage to crops, farms could be in the billions
Downgrade? Hurricane rating system fails to account for deadly rain
Kunkel's preliminary analysis found more than 17.5 inches (0.4 meters) fell on average over five weather stations in the 14,000 square miles of the eastern Carolinas stretching from Fayetteville, North Carolina, to Florence, South Carolina. The amount is second to Harvey's 25.6 inches (0.6 meters).
"That's a lot of water," Kunkel said.
The third rainiest storm was in March 2016 in northern Louisiana and the seventh was in southern Louisiana in August 2016. The three rainiest and four of the top seven have all occurred in the last three years — which Kunkel said is no coincidence.
Kunkel, who specializes in analyzing rain data from thousands of weather stations, based his work on rainfall since 1949 when recording became more widespread across the continental United States.
Kunkel examined rainfall over a compact area — 14,000 square miles, a figure based on latitude and longitude squares — and larger areas such as 20,000, 30,000 and 80,000 square miles. Florence's unusual amount was most noticeable on the smallest scale.
When the scientist looked at a bigger area, 20,000 square miles, Florence fell to seventh place, behind Harvey, 1998's Hurricane Georges, the two Louisiana rainstorms, a 1962 northern California downpour and a 1994 Texas drenching.
The analysis has not been published or peer reviewed yet, but will be, Kunkel said.
It is "not surprising — but still terrifying — that the two top ranked soakers happened over the past two years," said Pennsylvania State University climate scientist Michael Mann, who wasn't part of Kunkel's research but praised it. He said warmer oceans, more moisture and slower moving storms due in various ways to climate change make storms dump more rain.

When Florida State last attended an Orange Bowl in that 2005 season, then-coach Bobby Bowden lost 26-23 in a triple-overtime thriller to Joe Paterno's Penn State team.
In fact, historically the Seminoles have not fared well in BCS bowls. Before their seven-year drought, Florida State was a BCS regular, going six times in the first seven years but compiling just a 1-5 record.
The Seminoles' lone win came in the 2000 Sugar Bowl at the end of their 1999 national championship season.
But Florida State's 21-15 win over Georgia Tech on Saturday night has them headed back to Miami for the Orange Bowl at Sun Life Stadium. The Seminoles won at Sun Life 33-20 back in October, when they played the University of Miami, but overall in Orange Bowl appearances Florida State is just 3-5.
Opposite the Seminoles will be a Northern Illinois team that busted the BCS after sneaking into the back end of the rankings.
The game was expected to pit newly minted ACC school Louisville against Florida State, but after the Huskies (12-1) finished in the BCS top 16 and knocked Oklahoma from an at-large bid, the Sugar Bowl ended up with Louisville and Northern Illinois got an invitation to Miami.
NIU is the first team to ever represent the MAC in the BCS.
Its coach, Dave Doeren, was recently hired by N.C. State and will not coach the Orange Bowl.
That doesn't mean NIU will be any less fired up, though. Florida State should expect the Huskies' best shot.
And if Florida State wants to prove it's on its way back to relevance and that the ACC title was just the first hump — then it has to win.
Doing so would improve the ACC's all-time 2-12 BCS mark.
Most important, though, it would put the cap on a 12-win year and push the team into the offseason on a high note.

The 1998 Virginia State Elections took place on Election Day, November 3, 1998, the same day as the U.S. House elections in the state. The only statewide elections on the ballot were five constitutional referendums  to amend the Virginia State Constitution. Because Virginia state elections are held on off-years, no statewide officers or state legislative elections were held. All referendums were referred to the voters by the Virginia General Assembly.

Question 1

The Overseas Voters Act amendment asked voters to permit persons employed overseas and their families who are qualified to vote in Virginia to continue to vote in Virginia while overseas, subject to the conditions and time limits set by federal and state laws.

Question 2

The Judicial Inquiry and Review Commission Act amendment affects the Judicial Inquiry and Review Commission's confidential investigations of charges against judges. This proposed amendment gives the General Assembly the ability to disclose the scope and level of confidentiality of these investigations. Furthermore, this amendment gives the General Assembly the responsibility to provide by statute the extent to which Commission proceedings and documents will be confidential.

Question 3

The Economic Development Areas; Governing Bodies Act amendment asked voters to authorize agreements among localities for sharing the revenues and costs of a specified land area and for the General Assembly to establish a special governing body for the area. Fiscal commitments related to the land area would not be deemed local debt.

Question 4

The Economic Growth-Sharing Agreements Act amendment asked voters to exempt the fiscal obligations involved in economic growth-sharing agreements from certain constitutional limits or requirements that usually apply to local debt. The amendment will treat this type of obligation like other special types of local debt that are not subject to those constitutional limits.

Question 5

The Tax Exemptions Act amendment asked voters to allow the General Assembly the ability to give local governments the option of partially or fully eliminating either the business, professional or occupational license tax or the merchants' capital tax or both.

Brazilian Crosses Continents To Study Aerospace Engineering at Florida Tech
By	Florida Tech Marketing and Communications on	 January 30, 2017 Panthers on the Rise, Students
Whether its the desire to be a pilot flying high above the land, 0r the person working in aerospace engineering designing spacecraft that soar high above the earth, the dreams we have are not easily altered.
But sometimes when life takes an unexpected turn, a new path appears to take you exactly where you need to be.
By the time he was 13, Luiz Fernando Leal had the rest of his life mapped out. It was a warm afternoon on Botafogo Beach in Rio de Janeiro when his uncle took him to see the Red Bull Air Race World Championship – the first year the competition was held in South America – where 13 pilots competed for the top prize.
"Watching the single engine planes fly and the supersonic fighters rip through the sky performing amazing stunts, I saw my future laid out before my eyes," Leal said. "At that moment, I realized I wanted to be a pilot."
The Brazilian native was so determined to follow this path that he opted out of attending a traditional Brazilian high school. Instead, He set his sights on the Preparatory School for Aeronautical Cadets, a high school that prepares its students to become military pilots.
"Since its admission rate is one of the lowest in Brazil, I knew I would have to study extremely hard and take a high-level prep course to get ready for the written test," Leal said.
But just two months before the exam, after almost a year of intense preparation, Leal was diagnosed with myopia (nearsightedness).
"I had memorized almost everything required to be a pilot and I was certain that pilots could not be myopic," Leal said. "At that point, my world collapsed."
But a close friend, Marco Antonio, refused to let him despair, telling him he was destined for an even better path.
"I thought he was crazy. Why would he say such a thing? After all, what could be better than my dream of flying planes? " Leal said. "I thought he was a friend, but his words felt like a dagger in my chest and I thought to myself, Et tu, Marco?"
Refusing to give up his dream of becoming a pilot, he took the test anyway – and passed on a second attempt.
Though he would still need to pass a physical, Leal believed it would be possible to correct his nearsightedness through surgery before taking the eye exam. However, this hope was soon destroyed when two different surgeons told him he was too young to have the surgery.
It was difficult news, but Leal had already started down a new path without realizing it.
Another Way to Fly
Later that year, Leal won his first of many gold medals in the annual Brazilian Olympiad of Astronomy and Astronautics. He was twice selected to be one of 38 students chosen from almost a million to participate in both the Brazilian Space Camp and the Space Journey. During the weeklong intensive science programs, he had the opportunity to attend lectures by the first Brazilian Astronaut and Aerospace Engineer, Marcos Pontes.
"I learned about aerospace engineering and how rewarding it could be to design spaceships and see them flying towards outer space," Leal said. "Although I couldn't fly a plane, I discovered a way to put my own ideas even higher than the sky."
The comforting words of his friend suddenly made sense.
"I finally understood what he was trying to tell me. At the time, I was not prepared to accept the idea that there could be any other path designed for me," Leal said. "But I realize now that life works in mysterious ways. If it were not for my first dream being crushed, I would not be aiming to become a Mechanical, Aerospace and Computer Engineer."
He shared his revelation with Antonio.
"When I told Marco how his words had helped me to grow and understand that there was, indeed, another path for me, he simply replied; Well, Luiz, you haven't lost your dream; you just found another way to fly.
But the battle wasn't over; he needed to raise money to attend the school of his dreams – Florida Institute of Technology.
Hope for his Country
Stephanie Enstice, associate director of international admission at Florida Tech met Leal at an event and remembers his enthusiasm.
"He loved the size, location and personal touch we offer as well as the opportunities he would have as an undergrad and as a first-year student," Enstice said. "He saw that our alumni were doing amazing things and making a difference and he wanted to be a part of this dynamic group."
To finance his dream, Leal began a crowdfunding campaign called GoAstronando.
Enstice said the school did its best to assist financially.
"Even with our top award, which was close to $20, 000 per year, he did not have enough for proof of funds to get his visa document issued," Enstice said. "He set up his own fund me page before this became more popular and rose quite a bit of money but still, this would not support him long enough."
Leal's initial goal was to raise the $14,000 needed for the balance of his tuition but he didn't factor in the cost for room and board and was forced to ask for a gap year to raise more money.
During that year, Leal worked, studied and tried to connect with as many people and organizations that might be able to assist. He even created a power point to present to various institutions, hoping someone might lend a hand but nothing worked.
Time was passing and with less than a week until the end of his gap year and the deadline to register for the fall 2015 semester at Florida Tech, he still didn't have enough funding.
That's when his colleagues at the job where he worked decided to help. They joined together and informed the company's media relations department about Leal's plight.
A Little Help From his Friends
"They really enjoyed my story and decided to help me. I knew that I wouldn't have enough time to register, get my passport, my visa and everything else needed to travel and start for fall," Leal said. "But there is a good expression in Brazil; hope is the last thing to die, so I decided to give it one last chance."
His supporters sent his story out to several newspapers and got the attention of O Globo, one of the biggest and most well respected news journals in Rio de Janeiro.
Within two days he was giving an interview to a reporter, who highlighted the fact that if Luiz didn't get financial help soon – his dream would die – like many others from Brazil who have the talent and the drive to succeed – but not the funding to attend school.
When published, the article received a lot of positive feedback from readers.
"They saw me as a hope to help the country," Leal said. "But for that to happen, I would need first to pursue the highest level of education in America."
A Strong Reputation in Aerospace Engineering
The article got the attention of the Phi Institute, a philanthropic organization focusing on social causes in Brazil.
Fernanda Tizatto, a project manager at Phi liked Florida Tech's positive reputation in aerospace engineering and its close proximity to Cape Canaveral.
"He had the dream of studying aerospace engineering in the United States. He had learned English by himself and was admitted to three American colleges, including the Florida Institute of Technology, a reference in the industry." Tizatto said. "However, his family would have to pay $20,000 per year and couldn't pay for his studies."
Unfortunately, by the time Phi reached out to Leal – wanting to learn more about his situation, his gap year and the deadline to register for fall, had elapsed.
Never Giving Up
"When I got the call they just told me they wanted to meet me to understand my story. I was very upset at the time, because I knew my gap year had already finished and I did not answer FIT," Leal said. "Nonetheless something inside me told me that I should open my heart, open myself to show how strong my dream of studying aerospace engineering was and how devoted I was to it."
Tizatto scheduled a meeting with a major donor.
"During the meeting, Luiz explained his trajectory, his future goals and how important going to college would be for his plan," Tizatto said. "The potential donor was very thrilled with his impressive history."
When the donor asked Leal if studying aerospace engineering at Florida Tech was truly his dream, he answered honestly.
"I answered from my heart and he told me he would help me," Leal said. "I don't remember what he said right after because I was frozen. He was in front of me, telling me that he would help with whatever it takes to see me conquer my dreams. I cried a lot after that. I couldn't believe what I just heard."
His benefactor asked to remain anonymous but kept his word, funding a scholarship for Leal through Phi.
Back at Florida Tech, Stephanie Enstice was happy to tell Leal that he could start spring 2016.
Now a year into his studies Enstice says Leal has fit right in to his new Florida Tech family.
"He is amazing and did so much already in his first semester here. After an uphill battle, in which he persevered, he never gave up on his search for funding to attend FIT, his dream school," Enstice said. "I know he plans to give back to his country and to FIT for all the support he has received. He is such an interesting and focused young man who is enjoying and taking advantage of every opportunity here."
Opportunities that include being part of the NASA Hybrid Motor Rocket Competition where his team placed second out of 17 other universities and watching at his first rocket launch from Cape Canaveral.
"I'm already taking part in many projects and receiving opportunities that I would never have access to if I stayed in Brazil," Leal said. "I didn't know how exciting it is watching, hearing, feeling a rocket going right up to the sky. It was such an amazing experience that I'll tell to children, grandchildren and so on."
Leal also became a member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) and the Student Rocket Society (SRS).
Leal said he hopes to use his aerospace engineering education to contribute to the expansion of human space exploration.
"I get goosebumps when I think that I can do something to help us to reach Mars," Leal said. "My goal is to be part of something greater than me, greater than us – something carved in history."
His short-term goals include enjoying the present moment and appreciating how an unexpected turn of events set him on this wonderful new path.
"My experience at FIT has been the most unique opportunity I have ever had in my life," Leal said. "I can tell you this – I am living my dream."
Whether you want to design aircraft or become the first person to explore Mars on foot, a degree in aerospace engineering from Florida Tech will get you there.

Q: Calculating the big-O complexity of this string match function? can anyone help me calculate the complexity of the following?
I've written a strStr function for homework, and although it's not part of my homework, I want to figure out the complexity of it.
basically it takes a string, finds 1st occurence of substring, returns it's index,
I believe it O(n), because although it's double loop'd at most it'll run only n times, where n is the length of s1, am I correct?
int strStr( char s1[] , char s2[] ){
    int haystackInd, needleInd;
    bool found = false;
    needleInd = haystackInd = 0;

    while ((s1[haystackInd] != '\0') && (!found)){
        while ( (s1[haystackInd] == s2[needleInd]) && (s2[needleInd] != '\0') ){
            needleInd++;
            haystackInd++;
        }
        if (s2[needleInd] == '\0'){
            found = true;
        }else{
            if (needleInd != 0){
                needleInd = 0;

            }
            else{
                haystackInd++;
            }
        }
    }

    if (found){
        return haystackInd - needleInd;
    }
    else{
        return -1;
    }
}

A: It is indeed O(n), but it is also not functioning properly. Consider finding "nand" in "nanand"
There is an O(n) solution to the problem though.

A: Actually, the outer loop could run 2n times (each iteration increments haystackInd at least once OR it sets needleInd to 0, but never sets needleInd to 0 in 2 successive iterations), but you end up w/ the same O(n) complexity.

A: Your algorithm isn't correct. The indices, haystackInd, in your solution are incorrect. But your conclusion based on your wrong algorithm was right. It is O(n), but just it can't find the first occurrence of the substring. The most trivial solution is like yours, compare string S2 to substrings starting from S1[0], S1[1],...And the running time is O(n^2). If you want O(n) one, you should check out KMP algorithm as templatetypedef mentioned above.


On the 18th July 1995, the Thai people were stunned to learn of the passing away of Her Royal Highness Somdej Phra Sri Nakarindra Boromarajjonnani, Mae Fah Luang, the Princess Mother at the age of 96. Unique in the history of the Chakri Dynasty, The Princess Mother and her husband, Prince Mahidol, the "Father of Thai Medicine", were the parents of two of Thailand's Monarchs. Following the tragic death of their elder son, King Rama VIII, their younger son, Thailand's present King Bhumipol Adulyadej, the beloved King Rama IX, ascended the throne. Throughout His Majesty's long and illustrious reign, Mae Fah Luang worked tirelessly to assist the King's constant efforts to help his subjects, especially the poor. Even in the later stages of her life, she continued to maintain her arduous schedule, visiting even the most remote villages, often accompanied by her daughter Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Wattana. She always displayed remarkable vigor and a keen interest in all His Majesty the King's subjects and was loved and revered by them in return.
Her main interest was always the furtherance of her late husband's lifetime work, to improve the medical care and welfare of those from even the remotest and most humble hamlet. Realising that one of the most serious problems facing the rural poor was the dearth of medical facilities such as clinics and medicines, and of trained doctors and nurses, she paid particular attention to the needs of this disadvantaged sector of society. She was the devoted patron of The Princess Mother's Volunteer Flying Doctor Foundation, which pioneered free medical and dental care for those living in remote areas. This Foundation, established in 1969, has saved hundreds of lives, and alleviated the suffering of untold thousands, while reducing the burden on the overstretched resources of the Public Health authorities.
Another of the Princess Mother's keenest concerns was for the welfare of those serving in the Border Patrol Police and their families. Realising that this unit was the most vulnerable of all the armed forces, constantly stationed in often inhospitable terrain and under threat from terrorists, drug traders and cross-border incursions, she established The Foundation for the Welfare of Border Patrol Police in 1967. The Foundation has, since its inception, always played an important role in the lives of families of those serving in Border Patrol Police units, providing care and financial support to the disabled and the dependents of those killed in action.
Just like her son, His Majesty the King, Mae Fah Luang was remarkably talented as both a sportswoman and as an artist. She was an accomplished tennis and badminton player, and an inveterate horse-rider and hiker. Whenever opportunity presented itself, she loved to ski, even up to her 80th birthday. Although her interests were numerous, her artistic skills were best demonstrated in five areas of speciality. She painted on porcelain for many years, with her favourite themes being flowers and the heavens; she created a wide range of ceramic works; she extended this skill to the creation of simple yet beautiful Buddha images, specializing in green-glazed creations in the half-lotus posture; she had a love of needlepoint, again favoring the subject she best loved, wild flowers; and finally she had a consuming passion for pressing and preserving wild flowers and creating gifts from these.
The Princess Mother always had a fondness and deep concern for the peoples and countryside of the north of Thailand, and in 1971 she founded the Mae Fah Luang Foundation, originally the Foundation of Hilltribe Products Promotion, expressly to preserve northern culture and arts and to provide training, employment and knowledge in these fields. Located at Doi Dtoong, one of the most northerly points in Thailand, close to the Burmese border, this foundation has continued to contribute much to the economic development of the area surrounding Doi Dtoong. Some of the results that have emanated from this project have been of great cultural and economic worth, for example the recording of the histories and cultures of the various hilltribe peoples, the preservation of Lanna arts and culture, and the development of hilltribe products, especially handicrafts, with the tribes-people themselves empowered to reap the benefits of their own marketing.
The selection of Doi Dtoong arose out of the Princess Mother's concerns about the dangers of deforestation in the far north, brought about by the continuing shifting cultivation practices of the hilltribes, which had severely denuded the once lush forest cover. She chose Doi Dtoong as the site for a Royal hilltop villa as a base for activities to arrest the process of forest loss, and, largely from her own generous financial contribution, the villa was completed in late 1988. The location of Doi Dtoong was of particular significance to the Princess Mother, as its location brought back poignant memories of years past in Switzerland, while being firmly and tangibly anchored in Thailand.
The Royal villa itself is remarkable, having been designed and built to reflect a number of distinct styles. It is at the same time a part of Switzerland, a part of Lanna and a part of Thailand. While much of the construction is of finest teak, the walls are made from pine panels from packing cases originating in colder climes. The finer points of decoration, especially in the woodcarving, reflect Mae Fah Luang's lifelong love of flowers and the stars and planets. The gardens of the villa are also truly remarkable. Beautifully maintained, they, like the villa itself, reflect the tropical and temperate, the Thai and Swiss, that have been the references by which Her Royal Highness lived her life. Villa and gardens alone are a major tourist attraction in themselves, but they are not just some ornate yet shallow window-dressing, but are the focal point of the achievements of the Princess Mother's life.
The Mae Fah Luang Foundation has not only improved the lot of the people of the hills and of northern Thailand in general, but has also, together with the Chai Pattana Foundation, had an enormous and profound impact on the environment, with an estimated 640 square kilometers of denuded land having been economically reforested. This has not just been some major planting exercise, but has emphasized throughout the need to encourage hill farm families to bond with their trees for the mutual benefit of both.
As a token of their love and respect for the Princess Mother, the people of Thailand built and presented the Hawcome Mae Fah Luang to her on the occasion of her 91st birthday. This unusual and symbolic structure is strongly influenced by the architecture of the north. It is not designed as a residence but as a showcase for the northern arts and culture that Mae Fah Luang helped to protect and restore. Like this building that was inspired by the people's deep appreciation of the Princess Mother's life time of care and dedication, her Mae Fah Luang Foundation will also endure beyond her passing, and belongs not just to her memory, but also to the nation.


Arlington police have identified the officer who fatally shot a man who drove away during a traffic stop last month with the cop standing on the running board of the SUV.
The department came under criticism this month during a community meeting organized by the NAACP for not identifying the two officers present when Oshae Terry was shot to death Sept. 1.
Police said Friday that the criminal investigation was completed Wednesday, and that allowed them to name the officer, as well as the cop who made the initial traffic stop.
Officer Julie Herlihy stopped Terry in the 2200 block of California Lane to ask about an expired registration. She went back to the patrol car to run checks while backup Officer Bau Tran stayed near the passenger side of the vehicle, police said.
Terry, of Forest Hill, initially complied with a request to turn the SUV off and roll down the windows, but minutes later, body-cam footage showed him roll the windows up and start to drive away.
Tran can be seen sticking his hand in the window and telling Terry to stop. Tran shoots Terry after he starts to drive away with the officer standing on the running board and his hand still in the window. Terry died at a nearby hospital.
Tran, who did not provide a statement to detectives during the criminal investigation, remains on restricted duty status pending the conclusion of the administrative investigation. Herlihy has been assigned to patrol duties, police said.
In a written statement Friday, police also addressed some of the concerns raised during the Oct. 9 NAACP meeting.
Terry's passenger, Terrance Harmon, said police interviewed him for about 10 minutes on where he was going, among other questions, but haven't spoken to him since the shooting.
He also said police "took my phone, they took everything I had in my pockets. I had no transportation, no keys and they dropped me off at the side of the QT and told me to find myself to Fort Worth," the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.
Harmon's attorney, Lee Merritt, said investigators never asked Harmon about the shooting itself.
Police on Friday said Harmon provided witness statements including "an extensive on-scene interview." They added that Harmon was offered the use of a cellphone and that he was taken to "a local destination at his request."
Personnel contacted him again Sept. 2, police said, and Harmon went to the Police Department and "had an opportunity to speak with investigators."

Il existe différentes foires aux rognons blancs ou festival des testicules (Testy festy ou Testicule Festival en anglais) des deux côtés de l'Atlantique. Ces fêtes, foires ou festivals sont centrés autour de la dégustation d'amourettes, autrement dit des testicules animaux. Aux États-Unis d'Amérique, l'un se tient à Oakdale, en Californie, l'autre à proximité de Missoula, au Montana. En France, le village de Raon-aux-Bois organisait une foire attirant des milliers de personnes tandis que Domèvre-en-Haye continue d'organiser sa foire aux roubignoles.

Orientations
Raon-aux-Bois a célébré en 2015 sa  de ces festivités. La confrérie à l'initiative de cette manifestation a annoncé à plusieurs reprises son arrêt en raison d'une fréquentation en baisse, et ne perdure en 2016 qu'une cérémonie d'intronisation à la confrérie, suivie d'un repas de dégustation.

La foire aux roubignoles de  Domèvre-en-Haye propose aussi bien des testicules de mouton, de taureau ou de coq.

Le festival d'Oakdale sert à collecter des fonds pour le musée du Cowboy d'Oakdale. Les participants peuvent y déguster des testicules de taureau à volonté.

Le festival de Missoula se déroulant sur plusieurs jours a été le sujet d'un article de Chuck Palahniuk, un auteur jouant sur l'ambiguité entre reportages et fiction.  Cet article issu de son recueil Stranger than fiction a été traduit en français par Festival de la couille. La manifestation est souvent présentée comme un festival érotique, tandis que le village organisateur revendique le caractère bon enfant du festival () où la dégustation de rognons blancs figure en bonne place et donne lieu à un concours de quantité avalée.

JROTC Team Registration
JROTC IHL Youth Action Campaign Competition Rules
Teams formed from groups of JROTC cadets must register as a team through this American Red Cross (hereinafter Red Cross) portal. By completing registration in this portal, all teams are certifying that as a team, and as individuals, they have obtained the permission of JROTC leadership and school officials at their respective schools, and of their parents/ guardians. An adult coach must complete the registration for the team and is responsible for managing the team's activities according to guidelines found in the Coach's JROTC IHL Youth Action Campaign (YAC) Competition manual. By registering, the coach and team agree to participate in the program for the current academic year. Any team wishing to compete in a subsequent year must complete a new registration at the appropriate time of the subsequent competition.
All team members will complete the Red Cross's IHL Youth Action Campaign Training in its entirety. Alterations to the material must be approved in advance by the Red Cross. Failure to comply with this requirement may disqualify a team from the competition.
Individual schools, JROTC, and the Red Cross may have different rules and regulations related to how teams' public awareness campaigns can be designed and implemented. By registering, each team agrees that they will comply with all rules and regulations related to campaign activities and content of their school, JROTC, and the Red Cross.
Teams must report their campaign's in-person and online reach as defined in the YAC Handbook for JROTC Cadets accurately and regularly throughout the program, to the best of their ability. Reporting statistics that are inconsistent with the reporting requirements as defined in the YAC Handbook for JROTC Cades may result in disqualification from the competition.
The current competition will conclude on April 1. Teams must conclude the campaign activities and submit their final projects by April 1 to be eligible for the competition.
The competition will have one winner for each of the eight Red Cross Divisions, provided there is at least one entry for a Division. All teams will be evaluated based on the number of in-person and online contacts a team's campaign reached. The five teams with the greatest reach in a Red Cross Division will then be judged by the Red Cross based on the quality of their campaigns as exemplified in their final campaign projects, and a Division winner will be selected. Division winners will be presented with an award to be determined by the Red Cross and considered for selection as the national winner.
The competition will have one national winner that will be selected by the Red Cross from among the eight division winners. The Red Cross will choose the national winner based upon quantitative and qualitative criteria including reach, quality and effectiveness of the teams' campaigns. The national winner will receive an award to be determined by the Red Cross and will have the opportunity to send five cadets from the winning team to the IHL Youth Action Campaign Summit at Red Cross expense (transportation, lodging and some meals).
By registering a team and competing in the IHL Youth Action Campaign competition, teams acknowledge and agree that all documents, presentations, photos, and videos produced in conjunction with the campaign activities ("Campaign Materials") are subject to American Red Cross publication and use for the promotion of the program. Teams will only submit Campaign Materials that they have authored and agree to submit as Campaign Materials which can be used by the Red Cross.

Throughout March and April of 1814, Henry More Smith continued to astound the jailer and Sheriff Bates by regularly breaking loose of his chains and shackles. Strength of chain made no difference to the Lunar Rogue. Up to this point, the chain used was described as, "a large horse trace-chain", but by mid-march they were using a timber chain and by April, Sheriff Bates had progressed to using an ox chain. It was all to no avail. Henry shed them all and often tied them back together with bits of cloth and wrapped them around himself again.
About this time, Henry began to braid straw. First he made a bread basket and then he went on to making straw people. Sheriff Bates says, "Sometimes he would make the likeness of a man, and sometimes that of a woman, and place them in postures singularly striking: at this he would amuse himself during the day, but spent the night in shouting and hallooing, and beating the floor with his chains."
The Sheriff must have been disappointed when Henry's trial, originally scheduled for April 20th, had to be postponed due to the fact that the St. John River was still full of ice. These conditions made it difficult for the Judge and the Attorney General to travel from Fredericton so a new date was set for May 4, 1814.
Beginning on April 30th, the Sheriff visited Henry every day trying to elicit a response by talking about his trial. The Sheriff reports, "…all was in vain. He gave the most decided indications of confirmed insanity; patted his hands, hallooed, sang with articulating, and continued to beat the floor with his chains the most of the night."
