Q: jQuery Toggle modification I am using the below javascript (jQuery) to toggle open two DIVs.  The DIVs open fine and open one at a time, which is what I am after.  However, I also want the DIVs to close when they are clicked a second time, which doesn't happen despite my best efforts!
Javascript:
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('.info_tab').click( function() {
        var currentID = $(this).next().attr("id");
        $('.toggle_info[id!=currentID]').hide(); /* the intention here is to hide anything that is not the current toggling DIV so as to close them as a new one is opened.  I thought this would leave the currently selected DIV uninterrupted to toggle closed (below), but it doesn't */
        $(this).next().toggle();
        return false;
        });
    });

A: you have the concept down, but not using the "currentID" correctly. You need to remember it's a variable, and can't be in another string if you want it evaluated.
With that said, try this:
$('.toggle_info[id!='+currentID+']').hide();

This makes the variable get evaluated in the selector, then passes it off to jQuery to find.
it looks like you're going to an accordian effect though. And jQuery UI has just such a control that you can use (if you're interested). if you're going for experience, then carry on. ;-)


A different look at the Nativity Story - with owls!
I was asked to write a story based on the Nativity for my church's Christmas Eve crib service this year. I was especially asked to include owls if possible for my daughter and her best friend who both love them! They spent a happy hour making masks with my friend ready for their performance.
Throughout the story children in costume (including two little owls!) made their way to our "stable" carrying figures of the characters mentioned.
At the end we all sang Silent Night - such a beautiful way to celebrate Christmas Eve. I thought it was a shame not to share my little story in case anyone else has owl-mad children -or a publishing contract they'd like me to sign!
Once upon a time there was a mummy owl and a baby owl. They lived in a tree right in a square in the middle of a busy town called Bethlehem. They slept throughout the day and as the sun started to set they woke up. As owls do.
Mummy owl stretched her wings and looked at her baby and said :"I love you baby owl"
Baby owl yawned and stretched her wings and said:"Mummy you say that every time we wake up and every night before we go to sleep. But what does this word "love" mean?
Mummy owl blinked and thought for a little while. Then she pointed with her wing at the square where a man and a lady on a donkey were knocking on doors. The lady had a big round tummy. She was having a baby - very soon it seemed!
The couple knocked and knocked at lots of doors. They were searching for somewhere to stay but no-one would let them in. The town was even busier than usual because of some new rules which meant people had to travel to the town they were born in to sign a register. All the hotels (which they used to call Inns) were full.
Then one man answered his door and pointed to the back of his Inn. The couple smiled and took their donkey to the stable he was pointing at. It wasn't as nice as a hotel but it was warm and dry and they were grateful to the kind Innkeeper.
Mummy owl said to baby owl:"Did you see that? That Innkeeper's heart is filled with love. The sort of love which people show for each other even when they don't know each other."
Soon after the owls saw that the lady had given birth to a tiny baby! She bent and kissed his tiny nose. The man stroked the baby's fuzzy little head. They looked so happy!
Mummy owl said to baby owl:"Did you see that? That is love. A very special love that parents have for their child. They love each other and they love their baby."
Then Mummy Owl heard another noise. It was the sweetest sound coming from high in the sky and seemed to be moving towards the hill which overlooked the town. She nudged baby owl and said:"Fly with me and I will show you something special."
The two owls flew through the darkening sky and landed on a branch on a hillside tree. Below them some shepherds watched over their flocks of sheep.
Suddenly the dark sky filled with bright light and angels. One angel spoke to the shepherds saying: "Great News! A baby has been born in a stable in Bethlehem who will save all the world."
The shepherds were amazed! They wanted to see this special baby for themselves. They took their flock and went down into Bethlehem and straight to the stable where the baby was with his parents Mary and Joseph.
Mary and Joseph had named their baby, Jesus. He did not look like the Saviour of the world, he just looked like a normal baby sleeping peacefully but the shepherds knew he was special.
Mummy Owl explained to Baby Owl."These shepherds know all about love. They stay out in all weather all night to protect their sheep. The baby they have come to see will be a shepherd one day too - but his flock will be very different to theirs. His flock will cover the whole earth and his love will last for thousands of years.
A star appeared over the stable. Far away three wise men saw the new star in the sky and knew it was a sign that someone very important had been born. They gathered gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh (three things which were very expensive way back then, even more expensive than a Playstation 4!) and travelled to see the new King.
They made a few mistakes on the way but eventually they found the baby Jesus and realised he was the important person they needed to give their gifts too.
Mummy owl nodded towards the 3 men. She said to baby owl:"Those wise men know all about love. they know that even the smallest, poorest people are important and deserve love. They know you don't need to be a pop star, prime minister or a millionaire to be a VIP."
Mummy Owl and Baby owl flew back to their tree overlooking the stable where the baby Jesus had just woken up for some milk.
Mummy owl spoke gently to baby owl.
She said:"Look down baby owl. Look at all the people who have come to see this very special baby. Look at the awe and wonder and joy on their faces. That is love. This baby will grow up and teach millions of people about love. He will speak to them, heal them, teach them and die for them. For thousands of years people will celebrate this baby's birthday with gratitude for all he did for them. That is love baby owl."
The sun was creeping up on the horizon and baby owl started to yawn. It was time to go to sleep. Baby owl blinked up at her mummy. She finally understood how important love was, how important it was to share it.
"I love you mummy" she said.

UNITED STATES v. SHEFFEY
UNITED STATES v. SHEFFEY (2020)
UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Michael SHEFFEY, Defendant-Appellant.
BEFORE: SILER, GIBBONS, and LARSEN, Circuit Judges. Matthew B. Kall, Assistant U.S. Attorney, Office of the U.S. Attorney, Cleveland, OH, for Plaintiff-Appellee Jeffrey B. Lazarus, Federal Public Defender's Office, Cleveland, OH, for Defendant-Appellant
After being charged with multiple federal drug offenses, Michael Sheffey entered into a written plea agreement in which he pled guilty to possessing a controlled substance with the intent to distribute. Based on the plea agreement, the parties believed Sheffey's base offense level was fourteen. Accordingly, the parties anticipated a Guidelines range of thirty to thirty-seven months' imprisonment. The Probation Office, however, recommended that Sheffey be designated as a career offender based on prior convictions for heroin trafficking and aggravated robbery. With the career offender designation, the Probation Office recommended a Guidelines range of 151 to 188 months in prison.
Sheffey now argues that the career offender enhancement was inappropriate because the state statute under which he was convicted of heroin trafficking, Ohio Rev. Code § 2925.03(A)(2), is categorically overbroad. We conclude that the district court did not err in applying the career-offender enhancement and affirm the judgment.
After an individual overdosed on heroin and identified Michael Sheffey as his supplier, a confidential informant purchased controlled substances from Sheffey at his home in Ashtabula, Ohio. A grand jury then charged Sheffey with violations of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and (b)(1)(C) for distributing methamphetamine (Count One), distributing heroin (Count Two), and for possessing those drugs and cocaine with the intent to distribute (Count Three), as well as being a felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) (Count Four). Sheffey subsequently pled guilty to possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute (Count Three) in a written plea agreement.
In that plea, Sheffey and the government agreed that his base offense level would be fourteen for his offense under 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1(c)(13), because the offense involved 3.81 grams of cocaine base, 2.23 grams of fentanyl, and 2.62 grams of cocaine hydrochloride. The government agreed to dismiss Counts One, Two, and Four. Though Sheffey waived many of the bases of appeal and post-conviction attack, he explicitly reserved the right to appeal "any sentence to the extent it exceeds the maximum of the sentencing imprisonment range determined under the advisory Sentencing Guidelines in accordance with the sentencing stipulations and computations in this agreement[.]" DE 17, Plea Agreement, PageID 59.
At the change of plea hearing, the court determined that, based on Sheffey's stipulated offense level of fourteen, the estimated Guidelines range would be thirty to thirty-seven months' imprisonment. The written plea agreement, however, stipulated that "Defendant understands that the advisory guidelines range will be determined by the Court at the time of sentencing, after a presentence report has been prepared by the U.S. Probation Office and reviewed by the parties" and that Sheffey understood that the parties' recommendations were in no way binding on the court. DE 17, Plea Agreement, PageID 57. After verifying the factual basis and ensuring that Sheffey understood the rights he was waiving by pleading guilty, the court accepted his guilty plea.
In its Presentence Investigation Report, the Probation Office found that Sheffey was over the age of eighteen, had pled guilty to a drug trafficking offense in the instant case, and had qualifying prior felony convictions:1 first, Sheffey was convicted after a jury trial of two counts of aggravated robbery, only one of which can be counted for the career-offender enhancement, under Ohio Rev. Code § 2911.01(A)(1); second, Sheffey pled guilty to trafficking in heroin under Ohio Rev. Code § 2925.03(A)(2) in 2015, in return for which the court dismissed charges for trafficking in cocaine, trafficking in marijuana, and possession of criminal tools. "[T]he Shepard documents from Mr. Sheffey's Ohio drug trafficking case indicate that he was charged with trafficking in heroin." CA6 R. 18, Appellant Br., at 29. Therefore, the Probation Office determined that Sheffey qualified as a career offender. Based on Sheffey's career-offender status, his offense level increased to twenty-nine, after a deduction for acceptance of responsibility. The corresponding Guidelines range increased to 151 to 188 months' imprisonment.
The parties filed motions regarding the presentence report. The government asked that the district court continue the sentencing in order to allow Sheffey time to consider how to respond to the presentence report and hold a hearing to determine whether Sheffey wished to withdraw his guilty plea, due to his increased potential sentence as a career offender. Sheffey filed a memorandum in which he requested that the court apply the guidelines range stipulated in the plea agreement, instead of the career offender enhancement. Sheffey did not specifically claim that his drug trafficking conviction was not a controlled substance offense. Instead, he requested that the court honor the terms of the plea agreement and not apply the career offender enhancement.
At his sentencing hearing, Sheffey's defense counsel stated that he had no objections to the presentence report. The district court consequently found that Sheffey qualified as a career offender. The court provided Sheffey an opportunity to withdraw his guilty plea, explaining, "If you want to withdraw your guilty plea and go to trial, I'll let you do it. You need leave of the Court. I'll give you leave." DE 40, Sentencing Tr., PageID 199-200. Sheffey declined to change his plea and wished to proceed with sentencing.
Defense counsel found the district court's calculations to be correct and explained that there was no objection to the calculations "or anything else in the report." Id. at 200-01. Although counsel took issue with the possible sentence, he explained that Sheffey had not anticipated the career offender finding, because he had entered into the plea agreement that did not contemplate a career offender enhancement. Counsel argued that the court "shouldn't consider" the career offender enhancement "at all" and should impose the agreed-upon Guidelines range but made no argument concerning whether Sheffey was in fact a career offender.
Consequently, the district court found that Sheffey was a career offender and imposed a sentence of seventy-three months' imprisonment. In explaining the sentence, which is above Sheffey's anticipated guidelines range, but below the guidelines range for a career offender, the court said, "because of the plea agreement, I'm not going to go with a sentence of 151 to 188 months. So I'm going to do what I've done sometimes in the past and give you a sentence that's sort of in the middle between straight guidelines and career offender․ I'm going to give you the midpoint of that range[.]." (Id. at 211.) At that point, defense counsel objected to the career offender designation.
When the district court asked why defense counsel initially agreed with the findings of the presentence report, but now objected, defense counsel once again agreed that the presentence report was correct. Sheffey subsequently independently objected to the career offender designation, but only "as far as the aggravated robbery," arguing that the previous aggravated robbery conviction was not a crime of violence under the residual clause. Id. at 214, 219. When asked whether the aggravated robbery should apply, defense counsel said nothing. After a discussion concerning whether aggravated robbery was a qualifying offense and determining that it was a crime of violence under the use-of-force or "elements" clause, the court overruled the objection. At no point did Sheffey or his counsel object to the career offender enhancement based on his heroin trafficking conviction or argue that heroin trafficking was not a controlled substance offense.
On appeal, Sheffey has conceded that his Ohio aggravated robbery conviction qualifies as a crime of violence for purposes of the career offender guideline. Sheffey now argues that the Ohio drug trafficking statute is categorically overbroad because it criminalizes the trafficking of controlled substances that are not illegal under federal law.
Under the Sentencing Guidelines, a defendant, who is at least eighteen-years-old and is being sentenced for a crime of violence or controlled substance offense, is deemed a "career offender" if he has "at least two prior felony convictions of either a crime of violence or a controlled substances offense." U.S.S.G. § 4B1.1(a). This case presents the question as to whether a violation of a state's controlled-substances statute constitutes a "controlled substance offense" for purposes of the career offender sentencing enhancement. Because the record below contains conflicting evidence about whether Sheffey preserved his argument against his career offender enhancement, we first address waiver and the appropriate standard of review before considering the merits of Sheffey's argument.
The government argues that Sheffey has waived the argument that the career offender enhancement should not apply. "A defendant waives the argument that a sentencing enhancement does not apply by 'explicitly agreeing' that it does, such as through 'plain, positive concurrence.' " United States v. McBride, 826 F.3d 293, 294–95 (6th Cir. 2016) (emphasis added) (quoting United States v. Knox, 593 F. App'x 536, 536, 537 (6th Cir. 2015)). Accordingly, we have concluded that a defendant waived a challenge to his sentence where he "conceded in his sentencing memorandum that" the enhancement applied, United States v. Brown, 727 F. App'x 126, 129 (6th Cir. 2018), where "his counsel expressly agreed to the court's proposed" course of action in a sentencing hearing, United States v. Benchick, 725 F. App'x 361, 370 (6th Cir. 2018), or where a defendant expressed an "understanding" that an enhancement will apply as part of his plea agreement, McBride, 826 F.3d at 294.
While there is substantial indication that Sheffey's attorney believed Sheffey qualified for the career-offender enhancement, the record contains some equivocation, weighing against finding an explicit agreement. In his sentencing memorandum, Sheffey objected to the career offender enhancement. In the introduction to Sheffey's sentencing memorandum, counsel merely "requests this Court to honor the terms of [Sheffey's] plea agreement and use its discretion to not apply the career offender enhancement," elsewhere it "requests this Honorable Court to determine that [Sheffey] is not a career offender." DE 22, Def. Sentencing Mem., PageID 125, 133. This memorandum was filed in response to the presentence report, which informed the parties that "[o]bjections to the report [we]re due to the Probation office within 14 days of th[e] filing." Docket, 1:17-cr-00321-DAP-1, DE 18, First Disclosure of Presentence Report. Moreover, the Final Presentence Report specifically notes that "[t]he defendant submitted objections to the adjustment for the possession of the firearm and the career offender enhancement." DE 19, Final Presentence Rep., at 26.
The sentencing hearing also lacks an explicit agreement that Sheffey qualified for the career-offender enhancement. During the sentencing hearing, Sheffey's attorney objected to the district court's finding that the career-offender enhancement applied. Sheffey's attorney explained that the objection was not to the district court's determination that Sheffey was a career offender, but to the district court's decision to impose enhancement. However, upon hearing his attorney concede that he qualified for the career-offender enhancement, Sheffey independently objected, arguing that he did not qualify for the enhancement.
We have previously held that a defendant waived his challenge to his career-offender enhancement where his attorney requested that the district court decline to apply the enhancement but nevertheless conceded that the district court was correct to conclude that the defendant qualified for the enhancement. Knox, 593 F. App'x at 536–37. The defendant in Knox, however, did not object himself after his attorney conceded that he qualified as a career offender. Indeed, "[n]either side objected to the sentence." Id. at 537. Sheffey's somewhat unusual step of personally objecting during sentencing distinguishes his case from Knox.
Therefore, Sheffey and the government filed memoranda in response to the court's request that the parties brief the issue of whether the two prior convictions are predicate offenses. And Sheffey himself independently raised the argument that the career offender enhancement should not apply at his sentencing hearing. While it would be permissible to find waiver on this record, we proceed to consider whether the career offender objection was otherwise properly preserved. See, e.g., Turner v. United States, 885 F.3d 949, 954 (6th Cir. 2018) (en banc) (exercising discretion to consider an argument that may have been waived because it was purely an issue of law that required no new factual determination and was fully briefed).
Generally, this court reviews de novo a district court's determination that a prior conviction qualifies for career offender status under U.S.S.G. § 4B1.1. United States v. Wynn, 579 F.3d 567, 570 (6th Cir. 2009). Under United States v. Bostic, district courts are required to ask, after announcing the proposed sentence, whether any parties have objections to the sentence that they have not previously raised. 371 F.3d 865, 872–73 (6th Cir. 2004). A party who fails "to make an objection, even after being given 'an opportunity' to do so, forfeits the argument and may obtain relief on appeal only if the error is 'plain' and 'affects substantial rights.' " United States v. Vonner, 516 F.3d 382, 385 (6th Cir. 2008) (en banc) (quoting Fed. R. Crim. P. 52(b)).
When the court asked if the calculations, including the career offender increase, were correct, however, defense counsel said "[w]e would object to this Court's finding of the career criminal offender at this time." DE 40, Sentencing Tr., PageID 214. When the court sought to clarify the counsel's objection, counsel once again conceded "this Court is correct." Id. When defense counsel finally did object, it was not to challenge the career offender enhancement. Rather, defense counsel requested that the district court disregard the career offender provision and follow the parties' stipulated guidelines range as stated in the plea agreement. Thus, we would typically review under a plain error standard because counsel did not properly preserve the issue of whether the career offender enhancement in fact applies.
Ultimately, we need not dwell too deeply on the issue because the government contends that the district court committed no error and, even under de novo review, Sheffey's argument fails. See United States v. Sharp, 689 F.3d 616, 618 (6th Cir. 2012) (reviewing de novo a likely-forfeited issue). Accordingly, we elect to consider the argument on the merits.
The Sentencing Guidelines provide a more severe sentence if the defendant is classified as a "career offender." That enhancement applies if (1) the defendant was at least eighteen years of age when he committed the offense of conviction; (2) the offense of conviction is a crime of violence or a controlled substance offense; and (3) "the defendant has at least two prior felony convictions of either a crime of violence or a controlled substance offense." U.S.S.G. § 4B1.1(a). Sheffey has conceded that a prior conviction for aggravated robbery qualifies as a predicate violent felony offense. Therefore, whether he was properly identified as a career offender depends on whether prior heroin trafficking convictions in Ohio qualify as prior controlled substance offenses.
The Guidelines define a "controlled substance offense" as:
[A]n offense under federal or state law, punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year, that prohibits the manufacture, import, export, distribution, or dispensing of a controlled substance (or a counterfeit substance) or the possession of a controlled substance (or a counterfeit substance) with intent to manufacture, import, export, distribute, or dispense.
U.S.S.G. § 4B1.2(b). Sheffey argues that the career offender guideline limits the relevant controlled substances to those defined by federal law under 21 U.S.C. § 802(6). That section defines a "controlled substance" as "a drug or other substance, or immediate precursor, included in schedule I, II, III, IV, or V of part B of th[at] subchapter." 21 U.S.C. § 802(6). See also 21 C.F.R. § 1308.11–.15 (providing a list of controlled substances under those schedules).
Ohio's drug trafficking statute provides, in relevant part, that no person shall:
Prepare for shipment, ship, transport, deliver, prepare for distribution, or distribute a controlled substance or a controlled substance analog, when the offender knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the controlled substance or controlled substance analog is intended for sale or resale by the offender or another person.
Ohio Rev. Code § 2925.03(A)(2). In turn, Ohio defines a controlled substance as a "drug, compound, mixture, preparation or substance included in schedule I, II, III, IV, or V." Ohio Rev. Code § 3719.01(C). The specific controlled substances in each schedule are provided in a list in Ohio Rev. Code § 3719.41.
Ohio law criminalizes controlled substances that are not considered controlled substances under federal law. Because the Ohio and federal laws provide different lists of what is considered an illegal drug, Sheffey argues that "the Ohio drug trafficking statute is overbroad as it criminalizes the trafficking of controlled substances that are not illegal under federal law." CA6 R. 18, Appellant Br., at 24.
When determining whether a state conviction qualifies as a prior controlled substance offense, the court "applies a categorical approach, looking to the statutory definition of the offense and not the particular facts underlying the conviction." United States v. Evans, 699 F.3d 858, 862 (6th Cir. 2012) (citation and internal quotation marks omitted). The elements of the prior state offense are compared to the elements of a "controlled substance" offense as included in the Guidelines. United States v. Woodruff, 735 F.3d 445, 449 (6th Cir. 2013) (citing James v. United States, 550 U.S. 192, 202, 127 S.Ct. 1586, 167 L.Ed.2d 532 (2007)).
Recently, the Sixth Circuit considered a factually analogous case. The defendant in United States v. Smith made the exact argument Sheffey makes here, that "because the list of controlled substances criminalized under [the state] law includes a substance that is not prohibited under federal law, his prior convictions [could not] serve as predicate controlled-substance offenses." United States v. Smith, 681 F. App'x 483, 488 (6th Cir. 2017), cert. denied, ––– U.S. ––––, 137 S.Ct. 2144, 198 L.Ed.2d 217 (2017). The panel found that violation of the relevant Illinois statute was a predicate offense for purposes of the career offender enhancement "[b]ecause there is no requirement that the particular controlled substance underlying a state conviction also be controlled by the federal government, and because the Guidelines specifically include offenses under state law in § 4B1.2[.]" Id. at 489. See also United States v. Whitfield, 726 F. App'x 373, 376 (6th Cir. 2018) (adopting Smith's reasoning because "[i]n crafting the federal sentencing Guidelines and substantive federal criminal laws, Congress was well aware of the significant variations that existed in state criminal law").
The Smith opinion, however, added to a split among the circuits concerning whether the career offender enhancement's reference to "controlled substance" is defined exclusively by federal law and the Controlled Substances Act. See, e.g., United States v. Townsend, 897 F.3d 66, 71 (2d Cir. 2018) (finding that the Sentencing Guidelines' reference to "controlled substance" in § 4B1.2(b) referred exclusively to substance controlled by the Controlled Substances Act); United States v. Leal-Vega, 680 F.3d 1160, 1166–67 (9th Cir. 2012) (holding that California's possession of a controlled substance for sale statute was "categorically broader than the Guidelines definition of 'drug trafficking offense' because it criminalizes possession or purchase of certain substances that are not covered by the [Controlled Substances Act]" and therefore was not a drug trafficking offense under the Guidelines); United States v. Sanchez-Garcia, 642 F.3d 658, 661–62 (8th Cir. 2011) (finding the California's possession with intent to distribute statute was categorically overinclusive, because it criminalized conduct that did not trigger an enhancement). But see United States v. Walker, 858 F.3d 196, 200 n.4, 201 (4th Cir. 2017) (finding that defendant's "prior conviction under Ohio Rev. Code § 2925.03(A)(2) categorically qualifies as a 'drug trafficking offense' as defined in U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2," which is analogous to the definition of "controlled substance offense" at issue in this case).
To argue that Ohio's statute is overbroad, Sheffey relies on several immigration cases that address what constitutes a "controlled substance" for purposes of removal. (CA6 R. 18, Appellant Br., at 24–26) (citing Mellouli v. Lynch, 575 U.S. 798, 135 S.Ct. 1980, 192 L.Ed.2d 60 (2015); Vera-Valdevinos v. Lynch, 649 F. App'x 597 (9th Cir. 2016)). These cases are easily distinguishable, however. Under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(B)(i), an alien is subject to removal if he is convicted of a violation "relating to a controlled substance (as defined in section 802 of Title 21)[.]" Unlike that statutory section, the career offender enhancement at issue in this case does not limit its definition of controlled substance offense to specific federal violations, instead including "any offense under federal or state law, punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year[.]" U.S.S.G. § 4B1.2(b) (emphasis added).
There is "no requirement that the particular controlled substance underlying a state conviction also be controlled by the federal government[.]" Smith, 681 F. App'x at 489. "[T]he fact that [a state] may have criminalized the 'manufacture, import, export, distribution, or dispensing' of some substances that are not criminalized under federal law does not prevent conduct prohibited under the [state] statute from qualifying, categorically, as a predicate offense." Id. We therefore decline to adopt the reasoning embraced by our sister circuits. Like the other panels in our circuit that have considered the issue before us, however, we elect to continue with the modified categorical approach below and find that the Ohio statute is divisible.
Even if a statute is overbroad, it may still be divisible such that the specific offense at issue in this case, trafficking in heroin, qualifies as a controlled substance offense. Under the modified categorical approach, we may look to "the charging document, the terms of a plea agreement or transcript of colloquy between judge and defendant in which the factual basis for the plea was confirmed by the defendant, or to some comparable judicial record of this information" in order to determine whether the offense for which the defendant was previously convicted would qualify as a controlled substance offense federally. Shepard v. United States, 544 U.S. 13, 26, 125 S.Ct. 1254, 161 L.Ed.2d 205 (2005). Although Shepard addressed classifications of a prior conviction for purposes of the Armed Career Criminal Act, the approach is applicable in the context of a career offender enhancement. United States v. Bass, 274 F. App'x 443, 446 (6th Cir. 2008) (citing United States v. Foreman, 436 F.3d 638, 641 (6th Cir. 2006)).
The Ohio Supreme Court has explained that § 2925.03, the drug offense statute at issue in this case, "sets forth more than one criminal offense with the identity of each being determined by the type of controlled substance involved. As such, the type of controlled substance involved constitutes an essential element of the crime which must be included in the indictment." State v. Headley, 6 Ohio St.3d 475, 453 N.E.2d 716, 720 (Ohio 1983). The drug trafficking statute then provides a sentencing structure, with the severity of the sentence based upon the type of drug being distributed. Ohio Rev. Code § 2925.03(C). Therefore, an effective indictment in Ohio must include at least the schedule of the controlled substance being distributed. State v. Jackson, 134 Ohio St.3d 184, 980 N.E.2d 1032, 1035–37 (Ohio 2012).
The Sixth Circuit recently adopted the Ohio Supreme Court's analysis. In United States v. Solomon, the defendant entered into a plea agreement in which he agreed with the government that, due to the amount of fentanyl he had trafficked, he would have a base offense level of twenty-four. 763 F. App'x 442, 442–43 (6th Cir. Feb. 13, 2019). The Probation Office subsequently determined that the defendant had two prior state felony convictions, one for domestic violence and the other for selling cocaine in violation of Ohio Rev. Code § 2925.03(A)(1), such that he was a career offender under U.S.S.G. § 4B1.1(a) and would face a base offense level of thirty-four. Id. The defendant argued that Ohio's drug trafficking statute was overbroad because "the statute criminalizes possession of drugs that are not controlled substances under federal law." Id. at 443. The panel, using the categorical approach, found that Ohio's drug trafficking statute is divisible and that the defendant had been convicted of the distinct offense of "trafficking in cocaine." Id. at 448–49. See also United States v. Williams, 762 F. App'x 278, 282 (6th Cir. 2019) (avoiding the issue of whether Michigan's controlled substance statute is categorically overbroad and finding that the defendant's felony marijuana conviction "falls squarely within the Guidelines definition of a controlled substance offense"); United States v. Miles, 266 F. App'x 534, 536 (9th Cir. 2008) (using the modified categorical approach to determine that Ohio Rev. Code § 2925.03 was a "controlled substance offense" despite not including a mens rea comparable to the federal offense); United States v. Karam, 496 F.3d 1157, 1167 (10th Cir. 2007) (finding that "[t]here can be no dispute that" a conviction under Ohio Rev. Code § 2925.03(A)(2) is a controlled substance offense, despite its mens rea requirement seeming broader than the federal offense, because it required the mens rea of intent to distribute).
Just as the defendant in Solomon was convicted of selling cocaine, Sheffey was convicted under § 2925.02(A) for "trafficking in heroin." That subsection provides that "[i]f the drug involved in the violation is heroin or a compound, mixture, preparation, or substance containing heroin, whoever violates division (A) of this section is guilty of trafficking in heroin." Ohio Rev. Code § 2925.03(C)(6). Just as in Solomon, the presentence report indicates that Sheffey was convicted of trafficking in heroin. Sheffey did not object at his sentencing hearing, nor in his briefing, to that characterization of the offense. Because the Ohio drug trafficking statute is divisible and because Sheffey was convicted of trafficking in heroin, which is a federally controlled substance, his prior heroin offense qualifies as a predicate offense for the purposes of his career offender enhancement.
Further, though the Ninth Circuit found that California's possession with intent to distribute statute was categorically overbroad, as addressed above, it still found that the state conviction qualified as a "drug trafficking offense" under the Guidelines using the modified categorical approach. Leal-Vega, 680 F.3d at 1162. Similarly, the Eighth Circuit, in interpreting the same California statute, found that application of the enhancement was proper when Shepard documents demonstrated that the defendant had pled guilty to possession of methamphetamine with the intent to sell. Sanchez-Garcia, 642 F.3d at 662.
Sheffey has never disputed that his previous trafficking offenses involved heroin. Heroin is a Schedule I controlled substance under federal law. 21 U.S.C. § 812. His previous state convictions for trafficking in heroin fall squarely within the Guidelines definition of a "controlled substance offense." Therefore, even if the panel were to find that the Ohio statute is overbroad, it is divisible and Sheffey's offense qualifies.
"[T]here is no requirement that the particular controlled substance underlying a state conviction also be controlled by the federal government[.]" Smith, 681 F. App'x at 489. Further, Ohio's drug-trafficking statute is divisible. Sheffey's previous trafficking offenses, which involved trafficking in heroin, necessarily requires selling or offering to sell a federally-controlled substance. Therefore, Sheffey's previous convictions qualify as predicate offenses. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
In the district court, Sheffey lodged a lone objection to the application of the Guidelines' career offender enhancement—that his prior conviction for aggravated robbery in Ohio was not a "crime of violence," and thus could not count as a predicate offense under the Guidelines. See U.S.S.G. § 4B1.1(a) (stating that the "career offender" enhancement applies to a defendant with "at least two prior felony convictions of either a crime of violence or a controlled substance offense"). On appeal, Sheffey concedes that this argument is foreclosed by binding precedent, see United States v. Patterson, 853 F.3d 298 (6th Cir. 2017), and instead raises a new argument—that his prior Ohio conviction for heroin trafficking under Ohio Revised Code § 2925.03(A)(2), is categorically overbroad, and thus cannot count as a predicate "controlled substance offense" under the Guidelines. Because Sheffey's sole challenge on appeal was not presented below, I would review this question for plain error. See United States v. Vonner, 516 F.3d 382, 386 (6th Cir. 2008) (en banc). Sheffey cannot meet that standard. An error is not "plain" "unless the error is clear under current law." United States v. Olano, 507 U.S. 725, 734, 113 S.Ct. 1770, 123 L.Ed.2d 508 (1993). "A 'circuit split precludes a finding of plain error,' " as does "a lack of binding case law" from our circuit. United States v. Al-Maliki, 787 F.3d 784, 794 (6th Cir. 2015) (quoting United States v. Williams, 53 F.3d 769, 772 (6th Cir. 1995)). Here, as the majority points out, both conditions obtain. For that reason, I agree that the judgment of the district court should be affirmed.
1. Most of Sheffey's previous convictions, including robbery, probation violence, aggravated robbery, sex with a minor, and additional convictions of trafficking heroin, are not at issue in this appeal, though the district court considered them when determining the potential deterrent effect of a lengthier prison sentence.

Celebrities Sued Over Posting Paparazzi Photos of Themselves Highlights Tension Between Copyright and Rights of Publicity
June 3, 2019 June 3, 2019 Posted in General PostsTagged copyright, Intellectual Property, right of publicity
Kaytie Hobbs, Blog Chair, University of Cincinnati Law Review
While scrolling through Twitter, double-tapping Instagram posts, and thumbs-upping statuses on Facebook, Americans are exposed to an abundance of various newsworthy events of the day. In following pop culture, a good chunk of these posts may be media outlets posting photos taken by the paparazzi; some may be images that celebrities themselves post; and others may be the photos that celebrities see of themselves – though taken by the paparazzi – and copy to their own personal accounts. Intuitively, this last category seems acceptable – why wouldn't Ariana Grande be able to post a picture of herself that another person has taken? It is a picture of her, after all. But copying another person's photo implicates copyright law, even if it is the subject of the picture doing the copying.
There has been a rise in litigation concerning these types of posts. Ariana Grande was recently sued for posting an Instagram photo of herself taken by photographer Robert Barbera.[1] Grande does not stand alone; Kim Kardashian, Gigi Hadid, and Jennifer Lopez have also been sued for similar Instagram posts.[2]
Intuitively, this may seem unfair. However, Barbera has a valid claim under copyright law, and would likely prevail on any counterclaims alleging an infringement of Grande's right of publicity.
COPYRIGHT LAW SUMMARY
Copyright law protects original works of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression.[3]The statute covers photographs, allowing for copyright protection of such paparazzi photos.[4]The subject matter of the photograph does not have any separate requirements, so long as the portrayal is original (a very low bar!); interestingly, the Supreme Court case holding that copyright protection attaches to photographs resolved a dispute centered on a photograph of Oscar Wilde – a celebrity in his day.
Copyright protection also attaches immediately upon fixation, thus attaching immediately to Barbera's photo of Grande.[5]There is no dispute that Barbera holds a legitimate copyright in his photograph, and that Grande violated his exclusive rights of reproduction and display by copying and posting the picture to her Instagram. The more fascinating question, however, is whether celebrities have separate rights or means to use these photos of themselves.
RIGHT OF PUBLICITY SUMMARY
Most people would probably reflexively argue that celebrities own their image, and thus would be able to use any photos of themselves, even if copyrighted by others. This argument leads into the discussion of rights of publicity.
Every individual has a right of publicity, though celebrities get more use out of the doctrine. While the statutory language varies depending on the jurisdiction, the Restatement (Third) of Unfair Competition provides the essence of this claim: an unauthorized use of another person's name, likeness, or identity for purposes of trade will violate that individual's right of publicity.[6]The phrase "purposes of trade" generally means for a commercial purpose, most notably for advertising or merchandise.[7]
This area of law is amorphous and difficult to predict, particularly because each state is completely different. At first glance, this might suggest that celebrities would have a defense; paparazzi are clearly capturing their image and likely profiting from that image. However, there is one general, broad exception under this doctrine, and that is for newsworthiness.[8]The Restatement, in clarifying the scope of trade purposes, explains that these uses typically do not reach purposes for news reporting or entertainment.[9]The comments elaborate on this standard, advising against finding infringement for using a person's image in magazines and newspapers, relying on constitutional freedoms of speech and expression as justification.[10]Accordingly, most cases finding a violation of this right involve using celebrity likeness in advertisements as a way to exploit their brand and profit off a deceptive endorsement.[11]
Very few people could argue that articles and photos concerning celebrities' lives is not newsworthy. There are dozens of organizations that follow celebrities precisely because enough of the public consume those stories. Garnering a profit does not automatically bring acts outside the scope of this exception, because many legitimate news reporting organizations make money; it follows that these uses of celebrity photographs qualify as newsworthy under this exception.
Although it seems counterintuitive to disallow a celebrity from using and posting images of themselves taken by paparazzi, there is solid law in the copyright statute and right of publicity doctrine to provide otherwise.
There is a solution, albeit not without a price: if a celebrity finds a flattering photo of herself and wants to post it online, she has the opportunity to license that photo from the copyright holder for a fee. Until then, celebrities should act cautiously before posting photos of themselves they find on the internet.

A Noble Purpose The Root Of True Renown
J.D. Davies
All real dignity has its beginning, not in ancestral fortune, but in righteous purpose. The heart is the seed-plot of all noble deeds. "Keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life."
I. THE COMMONEST MEAL FURNISHES AN OCCASION ON WHICH TO DEFILE OR DIGNIFY THE MAN. Then character is discovered. Then we see, as in a mirror, whether the higher nature or the lower is dominant. Some men live only to eat; some eat only that they may live. Daniel desired to shun this sudden extreme of good fortune. "It is better to go to the house of mourning than into the house of feasting." Moreover, this participation in royal dainties would be a connivance with idolatry. "Whether therefore ye eat or drink... do all to the glory of God."
II. SELF-PURIFICATION IS THE SETTLED PURPOSE OF A RENEWED HEART. What grimy dirt is to the fair countenance, what rust is on virgin gold, what soot is on crystal snow, such is sin on the human soul. Wickedness is defilement, disease, curse, rottenness. If self-preservation be a primary instinct of man as a member of the animal race, the maintenance of purity was originally an instinct of the soul. If we cannot wash out old stains, we can, by Divine help, avoid further contamination. To be pure is to be manly - God-like.
III. HUMAN OPPOSITION MAY USUALLY BE DISARMED BY KINDLY SOLICITATION. Love wields a magic sceptre, and kindness is practical love. If the highest end we seek cannot be gained at a single stride, we may gain a step at a time. The Christian pilgrim does not walk in five-leagued boots. Daniel "requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself." A request so reasonable, so innocent, commended itself to the judgment of the man. - D
In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah.
Daniel 1:1-3
The Captivity
William White.
Jehoiakim was the son of one of the best kings that ever sat upon the throne of David. His father, Josiah, was a fearer of the Lord from his youth. In a period of great degeneracy, he was enabled to live a holy and consistent life. Convinced that religion is the true source of national prosperity, and that sin is the procuring cause of national calamity, Josiah exerted his royal influence to promote the revival of godliness among his subjects. The land, however, was ripe for vengeance, and in wrath against it the days of this excellent prince were shortened. He was "taken away from the evil to come." In the flower of his days, he was slain in the battle of Megiddo, while fighting against Pharaoh-Necho king of Egypt. After the death of Josiah, his son Jehoahaz was raised to the throne. This appointment being offensive to the king of Egypt, he deposed Jehoahaz, after a reign of three months, and selected, as his successor on the throne of Judah, Eliakim, another son of Josiah, who, on that occasion, had his name changed into Jehoiakim. The exaltation of such a prince to the throne, in so corrupt a state of society, was a token that judgment was nigh. So early as the third year of his reign, the land was overtaken by the first stroke of calamity. The minister of Divine indignation was Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. From the days of Manasseh, the land of Judea was tributary to Babylon. But when Pharaoh-Necho conquered Josiah, he obtained the superiority of Judea. Babylon and Egypt were then rival monarchies, struggling with one another for the ascendancy of the world. When, therefore, Nabopolassar king of Babylon heard that Pharaoh had taken Jerusalem and other towns in Palestine, he resolved to make an effort for their recovery. Through age and infirmity, being unable to head such an enterprise in person, he assumed Nebuchadnezzar his son into partnership with him in the empire, and sent him into Syria. Having conquered the Egyptians on the Euphrates, he marched into Judea and took Jerusalem. Secular history is generally written, just as it would have been, if no agent had the least influence on the affairs of the world, besides those who are visible to our senses. It traces the actions of man, as if man was all. It takes no notice, or but little notice, of God. But Scripture history is written on a different plan. It begins with God, as the creator of the world, and throughout, it exhibits him as its governor, everywhere present, and always operating. In an especial manner, it traces all the revolutions that take place in kingdoms — their origin — their progress — their decline and fall — to his sovereign and holy will, as the ultimate cause. "And the Lord gave into his hand Jehoiakim king of Judah, — a mode of expression which signifies that Divine displeasure was the true and proper cause of this calamity. In a period of defection from God, superstition often usurps the place of religion. When men have ceased to confide in God himself, they often place their confidence in something pertaining to him, and trust in it for protection from danger. To reprove such a spirit, God usually permits that in which they confide to fall into the enemy's hand. But while they had no confidence in God, they placed the most overweening confidence in the temple. They thought, that so long as it remained among them, they was safe. In one of the earlier messages of Jeremiah, God warned them against this delusion (Jeremiah 4:4, 12, 13, 14). This threatening God now began to execute. Literally, "judgment began at the house of God." Having entered the temple, Nebuchadnezzar carried away part of the vessels of the Lord's house. These he took into the land of Shinar, the ancient name of the region in which Babylon was situated, and placed them in the treasure-house of his god. Considering the place from which these vessels had been taken, and to whose service they had been consecrated for ages, they may certainly be regarded as one of the most remarkable trophies that ever a conqueror presented at the shrine of his deity. But victories obtained over God's people, when they are also triumphs over God himself, will in the end be found pregnant with disaster. Thus, when the Philistines took the ark captive, God glorified himself in a very remarkable manner. And, when he summons the nations to the overthrow of Babylon, one reason mentioned is, to take vengeance on her for what she had done to his temple. "Make bright the arrows; gather the shields; the Lord hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes; for his device is against Babylon to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance of his temple." In a subsequent chapter of the Book of Daniel, we shall meet again with these vessels, and see them prostituted, by an impious monarch, to bacchanalian purposes. Jerusalem was taken in the third year of Jehoiakim. We are not, however, to suppose that this was the end of his reign. Having humbled himself, and promised to pay tribute to the king of Babylon, he was restored to his throne, and reigned seven years. Having then rebelled a second time, Jerusalem was again taken, and he bound in chains, to be carried to Babylon, but died by the way. The final overthrow of Jerusalem did not take place till the eleventh year of Zedekiah's reign, about eighteen years after this period. When we consider that the sins of the Jewish people were so numerous, varied, and aggravated, and that they had been accumulating for ages, it might have been expected, that they would have suffered the seventy years of threatened captivity, from the time when the final stroke of vengeance came upon them, in the reign of Zedekiah. But, "for the sake of the elect, the days were shortened." The seventy years of the Babylonian captivity did not begin when the temple was destroyed, but when the vessels of the temple were taken away — not when the nation was removed, but when Daniel and a few others of noble birth were carried into Babylon.
I. Nebuchadnezzar invested Jerusalem, and took it, by the union of his own skill, and the courage of his army, and yet it is here said, "the Lord gave Jehoiakim into his hand." From this, we may learn, that there is a twofold agency concerned in all the events that take place in this world, — the agency of man on the earth, and the agency of God in the heavens. This twofold agency, however, is not co-ordinate. God and man are not possessed of equal efficiency in the production of events, Nebuchadnezzar besieges Jerusalem, but it is the Lord who gives Jehoiakim into his hand. Jehovah is the God of gods, and the King of kings, the First Cause of all events, as well as the First Cause of all beings. Men may form their plans, and gratify their passions, with the most entire freedom from all control, and yet they will only do "what God determined before to be done." This is the fundamental truth of religion, whether natural or revealed; the denial of which shows as great a lack of philosophy, as of piety. If the material, or intelligent, creation, was in any respect independent of God, this would sap every rational ground of confidence and composure. I know few duties more necessary to be inculcated, than this, of connecting outward events with the Divine government. Jehovah is, to a great extent, practically deposed from his throne of providence. Even many who profess to believe in his supremacy, "put a reed into his hand for a sceptre." Speculations on the state of the world too generally overlook the influence of God in the affairs that are occurring. In contemplating the world and its affairs, we should beware of looking only to the hand of man. Let us look beyond the creature, to the Creator.
II. The political causes, that led to the overthrow of Jerusalem, are apparent to all. These causes are not stated in the Book of Daniel. They are, however, fully developed in the prophecies of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah. In mentioning irreligion, as the radical cause of God's controversy with Judea, it is unnecessary to produce proofs of the assertion from Scripture. While the outward forms remained, there was such a want of true godliness, that Jehovah loathed and abhorred his own ordinances. And, when a people cease to fear God, or decline in this, their national character will begin to lower. They will cease to be distinguished for those loftier sentiments, which have their origin in the more strictly spiritual department of human nature, and which, more than anything else, tend to cherish wisdom, courage, genius, and patriotism. When the religious feeling of a country begins to decline, it will be marked by a growing disregard for God's holy day. Sabbath desecration is placed prominently among the causes of God's wrath against Judah. Religion is the parent and the nurse of all genuine morality. As might have been expected, from the low state of religion, we find the prevalence of immorality stated as one cause of this calamity that came upon Judea. "Run ye," said God to Jeremiah, "to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it "(Jeremiah 5:1-6). Zephaniah in like manner represents the corruption of manners as extending to all classes. "Her princes within her," says he, "are roaring lions, her judges are ravening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow. Her prophets are light and treacherous persons; her priests have polluted the sanctuary and done violence to the law." There are some sins particularized by all the prophets. Among these none is mentioned more frequently than deceit. With the prevalence of this the prophet Jeremiah was so affected, that at the beginning of the ninth chapter of his book, he breaks forth in these heart-rending strains, "O that mine head were waters," etc. (Jeremiah 9:1-8). Covetousness is specified as another sin (Jeremiah 6:12, 13). Covetousness is represented as producing fraudulent dealing, and corrupting the sources of justice, because of which the Lord was displeased (Micah 6:10, 11). Pride and luxury are also mentioned (Isaiah 3:16-24). The prevalence of immorality, and particularly, the prevalence of deceit, covetousness, and luxury, may, generally, be considered as symptomatic of the last stage of nations. These operate disastrously in two ways. First, They expose to danger, because they are offensive to God. Secondly, They operate, naturally, to produce a dissolution of the social body. Luxury has the same influence on the social health, that an Asiatic climate has upon an European frame; it enervates and debilitates, and causes premature decay, and death. And deceit is like a secret poison, pent up within the bowels of the empire, and gliding fatally, yet imperceptibly, through its veins. And covetousness is like a vulture preying on a diseased and disabled victim, while its blood is still warm, and its breath has not gone forth. And general immorality is like begun mortification, a disease that has no successor in the list of maladies. Irreligion and immorality, when combined, never fail to produce a bitter and malignant aversion to the cause of holiness and truth, and to their adherents. Before the overthrow of Jerusalem, the spirit of irreligion did not exist in a state of apathy. It was roused to great fierceness; it stood forth in the form of malignant contumacy, and defiance against the Lord. His warnings were rejected, his denunciations were scorned, his prophets were persecuted.
III. We shall only mention two things illustrative of the circumstances in which the captivity came.
1. The overthrow of the Jewish state came gradually. Manasseh was first carried captive, then Josiah was slain in battle, Jerusalem was then taken four times by the enemy, twice in the days of Jehoiakim, again in the days of his son, and finally in the reign of Zedekiah. From this we may learn, that national destruction is sometimes a gradual thing. It comes in successive shocks, some at a greater interval, and others at a lesser interval. We are not to suppose, because the sins mentioned prevail in any land, that it shall be instantly overthrown. It is with nations as with individuals, — the impenitent person shall perish, but God may spare him to a good old age. Caution is, therefore, necessary, lest we should commit the honour of Christianity, as good men have often done, by denouncing judgment as certainly at hand. Sin will assuredly Bring it; but the times and the seasons are in the Father's hands.
2. A second thing very observable is, that before each of these successive shocks of national disaster, God made use of means to promote the reformation of the country. Before the calamities that came upon the land, in the days of Manasseh, godly Hezekiah, had endeavoured, during a lifetime, to promote a revival of true religion. The reign of Josiah immediately preceded this disaster in the days of Jehoiakim. In the interval between the death of Josiah and the destruction of the temple, they were warned by divinely-commissioned prophets. Among others, God employed Jeremiah, a man in whose character, zeal for God was finely united with tenderness to man. And it has been God's ordinary way, to use means for reforming nations, before their overthrow. The flood came and swept away the ungodly world, but did not God give them warning? Nineveh was not overthrown till she was called to repentance by the ministry of Jonah. If God's government be a moral government, then moral evil must be the cause of all physical sufferings, and of all political difficulties. Moral evil is the crime, the political evil is the punishment. Moral evil is the disease, political evil is but the symptom.

The Judean Captives
John Taylor., The Southern Pulpit.
I. INTRODUCTORY. Nebuchadnezzar is called king, but he was not yet the reigning sovereign of Babylon. He shared the throne in conjunction with his father Nabopolassar. His accession to the sole sovereignty was some two or three years later (compare chapter 1, verse 5, with verse 18, and chapter 2, verse 1). This captivity is here said to have taken place during the third year of Jehoiakim, while Jeremiah (Jeremiah 25:1) places it in the fourth. Both statements are true. Daniel reckons the three completed years. Jeremiah the fourth upon which Jehoiakim had just entered. There were three deportations of the Jews in the reign of Nebuchadnezzar; this — the first — in , a second in , and the third when Jerusalem was destroyed in This captivity appears to consist of nothing more than a number of hostages carried to Babylon, among whom was Daniel and his three friends, whose history, more particularly of the first, is given in this book.
II. THE CAPTIVES.
1. They were of noble birth. They were selected of the king's seed and of the princes. Daniel himself was probably of the blood-royal, as we learn in 1 Chronicles 3:1, that David had a son of that name. Josephus says he was the son of Zedekiah. It was a sad day at Jerusalem when the most promising of the young nobility, in whom the hopes of the nation were centred, were carried away captive to Babylon.
2. They were distinguished by personal beauty. The orientals connected a handsome form with mental power. This, alas! is not always true. Neither spirituality nor intellect appears to be partial to beautiful tenements; but sometimes the purest gem is found in the commonest setting. When , now an elderly man, becomes acquainted with Charmides, the loveliest youth in Athens, he is so deeply touched by the charms of this paragon that at first he knows not what to say. Recovering his self-possession, however, the sage speaks worthily of himself, telling Charmides that the fairest form needs one addition to make the man perfect — a noble soul. History makes it more than doubtful whether the, Grecian did not fail here; but about the Jewish youth there is no doubt whatever.
(John Taylor. The Jewish traditions represent Daniel as a tall, spare man, with a beautiful expression.
3. They were intelligent and well instructed. They are represented as "skilful in wisdom," "cunning in knowledge," and "understanding science": by which is probably meant that they had been well taught in the knowledge of their day and had discovered an aptitude for deep studies. The Babylonian king designed to induct them into all the lore of the Chaldeans, in order to wean them away from the worship of God and make them subverters of Israel's national faith. If, therefore, they should be the future prophets of heathenism to their own people, it was necessary that they should be skilful and wise; and if he, indeed, had any such ulterior designs, it must be confessed he chose his instruments well. But there was an element in their previous training which he either overlooked or held too cheaply. If a Jewish youth was taught in science and earthly knowledge, he was yet far better instructed in the truths of his religion. Nebuchadnezzar will find it difficult to eradicate this deeply-planted faith; and the issue will show that, with four of them at least, he makes lamentable failure.
4. They were very young. But God can strengthen the hearts of the young and make the mouths of babes and sucklings to render him praise. Doubtless many a mother, parting with her offspring and sending them forth into life, or to the temptations of collegiate halls, can find comfort in this reflection.
III. THE PROSPECTS OF THESE CAPTIVES. Considered from a world-standpoint there were two sides to their future. There were elements of deep sorrow, and elements which might be regarded by some as mitigations of their lot.
1. They were exiles. This word is enough to excite our sympathies. So long as the sentiment of patriots remains, exile will be among the saddest of words. But chiefly to the Jew was exile a bitter misfortune. Not only patriotic sentiments, but religious, contributed to darken the life of one who was borne away from his loved Jerusalem, where stood that Holy Temple in its glorious beauty, the visible centre of the worship of Jehovah. Some of the psalms of the captivity reveal the depth of this great sorrow to a Jew, particularly that beautiful song: "By the rivers of Babylon" (Psalm 137).
2. They were cut off from hope of posterity. They were significantly given into the care of the "prince of the eunuchs," and the ordinary practice of oriental courts leaves us little doubt of their fate. This, moreover, had been prophesied (2 Kings 20:18).
3. They were to be taught all the wisdom of the Chaldeans. No doubt much of the Chaldaic learning was valueless, but it is undeniable that they cultivated many useful arts and sciences. Daniel and his friends would learn new languages unfolding to them new literature. They would be trained in arts of divination by which they could obtain power over kings, and princes, and the common people. They would be taught the science of astronomy, which at that day the Chaldeans had carried beyond any people. They would be educated in the science of politics, rendering them necessary to rulers as advisers. All this knowledge would of itself give them caste among this new people, would elevate them to position and power.
4. They were to occupy honourable positions in the court of the king. This opens up many prospects which might fire the ambitions of youth. We can well imagine, then, that if these had been godless youths this prospect of power, stimulating their ambitions, might have suited to offset the horrors of exile; yet we may be sure that there was not one of them who would not have given all the wealth and splendour of Nebuchadnezzar's court for one brief day on the hills of Judea, among the comrades of their childhood.
IV. A LESSON. The prince, their keeper, shall endeavour to make of these Jewish captives, Chaldean sages, and he begins this endeavour by changing their names. These four are named for the four chief deities of Babylon. Bel — the Chief-god, the Sun-god, the Earth-god, and the Fire-god. To render this change of character and religion complete all their external relations are correspondingly changed, and a whole new set of influences are brought to bear upon them. And yet, change what they would, they could not reach the heart. It is beyond man's power to do that. How powerless man stands before the spirit of his fellows!
(The Southern Pulpit.)
Affairs in Judea
W A. Scott, D.D.
From 2 Kings 23:34-36, we learn that Jehoiakim was raised to the throne of Judah by Pharaoh-Necho king of Egypt. He continued tributary to Egypt three years, but in his fourth year, which was the first year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, a great battle was fought near the Euphrates between the Egyptian and Babylonian kings, and the Egyptian army was defeated. This victory placed all Syria under the Chaldean government; and thus Jehoiakim, who had been tributary to Egypt, now became a vassal of the King of Babylon. (Jeremiah 25:1, and Jeremiah 46:2; 2 Kings 24:1). After three years, the King of Judah rebelled against the King of Babylon, who came against Jerusalem, and besieged and took it, as soon as his engagements with other wars allowed him to direct his attention to Jewish affairs. The land of Shinar was the ancient name of Babylon.
(W A. Scott, D.D.)

February 13, 2015 March 24, 2020 adminaa Edinburgh
One of the great joys of researching family history on behalf of others is when you encounter archives previously unknown to you in the pursuit of your quest. I've discovered via health board records that my client's grandmother was resident in a Dr Guthrie's school in the 1930's. I previously had not encountered this name but have since become familiar with the organisation. Dr.Thomas Guthrie was a Victorian minister and philanthropist who established the Edinburgh Original Ragged Industrial Schools in 1847 to educate some of the destitute children found on the city streets. Over time the schools evolved, coming into the state education system around 1920 and later becoming 'approved schools' for the care of juvenile offenders and children requiring protection.
Although some of the personal records for these schools are closed for 100 years, I've obtained permission for my client to access the admission registers herself at the National Records of Scotland which will hopefully give her information about the family that her grandmother came from. The NRS catalogue suggests that these registers record the pupil's name, age, birthplace, where, when, and by whom ordered to be detained, with what charged, term of detention, when admitted, name/address/occupation of parents, birthplace, parish, state of instruction and disposal. I look forward to accompanying my client to access these records very soon. As there are no other family links available this is the only way that my client can trace her family background so we are very hopeful of a positive result.
Records of Dr Guthrie's schools covering the period of 1852 to 1985 are kept by the National Records of Scotland under reference GD425. Details of how to get permission to access specific records is included on the NRS Catalogue

Our visit to the NRS Historical Search Room went well. Once we had her fixed up with her Reader's Ticket (she just needed to bring 2 photos and some ID) we were brought the Admissions Register for the Dr Guthrie's Girls' School, we quickly were able to find her grandmother, age 15, in the Register in 1939. She'd been referred by the RSSPCC because she was considered to be 'In Moral Danger' at home. It turns out that she was being looked after by a married couple described as her guardians, and they were reported to be 'Not of Good Character'. So we've still not found her parents, although I've since found one or two clues which suggest that the wife of this couple may have been related to the girl's mother. A search of the birth records failed to find an exact match for her grandmother taking into account her location , year of birth and her name. So the search goes on and I'm sure we'll get there in the end.

Jessie Slevin says:
i was in dr guthries in 74 would love to hear from anyone who was there at same time
LeeAnn Beer says:
For those interested, in 1892 at least 4 girls from Dr Guthries were emigrated to Canada as "Home Children" for indentured service as follows:
WALKER Elizabeth, age 16
BARROWMAN Sarah, age 16
FAIRLEY Jane, age 16
MURRAY, M, female, age 16
They travelled to Canada on the Sarmatian, departing Glasgow 02 July 1892, arriving Quebec 13 July 1892. They were first taken to the St. Andrews Home in Montreal, Quebec, Canada before being placed out to indentured service.
In Canada, these children have become known as the "British Home Children".

Sally Adams says:
Dear William, I am an English woman now aged 70 who spent about 7 months in 1968/9 doing voluntary work at Dr Guthrie's Boys in Liberton. I remember my mother down in Kent being utterly horrified by my plan to go up to Edinburgh to work there as I was only aged 18/19. Nevertheless I still went. Upon my arrival I was told that there had been a lot of trouble locally with the school so they couldn't recruit staff so I was given the job (unpaid) as the assistant matron under Elizabeth Mackenzie, a lovely woman but very strait laced from a family of wee frees. I still remember her taking me to her church one Sunday, an unnerving experience, very formal with all the women in hats apart from me. I do have fond memories of all the staff. Was it John Millar who was the Head? A nice family.
I have fond memories of the camp in Dunbar.Though there was a difficult day once when some of the lads stole some live crabs and let them loose on the kitchen floor! I cannot remember now what happened next. No doubt someone sorted out the problem.
i hope you have managed to enjoy a good life. I do wish I had bothered to keep in touch with some people there but of course being young, fancy free and careless I did not ..
My good wishes to you,
Sally Adams

The groups have ex boys and girls who spent time in a Guthrie's approved schools. The age range roughly between 64-50.
We're having a demonstration, outside the Scottish Parliament, on the 2nd Sep at 11am, 2020.
We will be demonstrating and objecting to the pittance the Scottish parliament is offering abuse victims. They are offering a measly £10k but before they hand over the pittance. We must sign a waiver giving up our legal rights to take the abusers and institutions involved to court.

Over the last few years there has been a range of responses to this post that I made about Dr Guthrie's Schools 6 years ago . To some, the experience appears not to have been a particularly negative one but to others, it was an abusive time and it has clearly had a profound effect on some of you. I do hope that, if that was your experience, that you have made a submission to the ongoing Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry. Please check out the link below if you haven't done so already:
