Q: Присваивание символа const char * Добрый день, хочу расставить точки над «i» для себя.
    const char *v = "123d";
    const char *c = "123";
    c[2] = '5'; // Так нельзя
    c = v;
    c = "asdfas";

Вопрос в следующем. Почему, когда мы const char * присваиваем строку, он присваивает, а символ — нет? Может, где-то для const char * перегружен оператор присваивания, и он ему присваивает новый адрес? А при присваивании литерала мы пытаемся записать по тому же адресу?

A: После присваивания const char *c = "123"; в c храниться некий адрес, по которому размещена строка "123". Компилятор обычно размещает ее в памяти, которая "read only" (записать то можно туда, просто операционная система знает, что это неправильно и пресекает попытки записи). Но так как использовать будет только для чтения, то все нормально.
Строка c[2] = '5'; пытается записать в эту неизменяемую память. Память только для чтения.
Почему так сделано? для оптимизаций и упрощения. Пусть в Вашей программе есть ещё десять мест, где есть константа "123". Компилятор не будет создавать 11 копий, а будет использовать один и тот же адрес. А теперь представьте, что вышеуказанное изменение разрешено:).
Старые компиляторы этого не делали и часто наблюдались интересные спецэффекты, когда константы изменяли свое значение.
Но компилятор может поступить и по другому.
const char * test = "test111";
printf(test);

в этом случае может даже выбросить переменную test, а ее значение вывести непосредственно.
присваивание c = v; разрешено, так как не изменяются данные по указателю, а только он сам. А указатель не константный. Аналогично и с присваиванием c = "asdfas";.
A: Учебник по программированию на С++ говорит, что:
Официальный тип строковых литералов, таких как "Привет",- const char []. Строка "Привет" имеет тип const char [7]. Секундочку! Ведь в слове Привет шесть букв, а не семь! Не переживайте, ошибки здесь нет. Дополнительный элемент содержит завершающий пустой  символ, ' \0' (значение 0), который сообщает компьютеру длину строки. В конце каждого строкового литерала есть скрытый пустой символ (\0), который позволяет алгоритмам определять длину строки и факт достижения конца строки. Длина строки нужна не всем
алгоритмам, но большинству из них. Присвоить строковый литерал переменной типа char* можно следующим образом:

char* х = "Привет";

Однако со значением, на которое указывает х, нельзя работать. Если оно
не будет постоянным, возникнет ошибка, как в следующем примере:

*х = 'Т';

Этот код вызывает ошибку, потому что нельзя изменять значение константы. Чтобы получить строку, которую можно изменять, следует присвоить строковый литерал строковому объекту или символьному массиву. Пример объявления символьного массива, элементы которого могут изменяться:

char s[] = "Привет";
s[0] = 'Т';

С этим кодом все в порядке, а новым значением строки будет "Тривет".
Многие из стандартных библиотечных функций С принимают в качестве одного из аргументов значение типа char*. Однако если строка  хранится в виде указателя на символ, ее длина не может быть определена, как в случае строковых литералов, завершаемых пустым символом. В отсутствие пустого символа невозможно понять, где кончается строка.
A:
Вопрос в следующем. Почему, когда мы const char * присваиваем строку, он присваивает, а символ — нет?

Нужно различать константный указатель и указатель на константу.
1) Указатель на константу: нельзя менять содержимое объекта, на который указывает указатель, но можно менять содержимое самого указателя (указатель — это переменная, содержащая адрес другой переменной).
char array[] = "string";
const char * с = array; // Указатель на объект, который нельзя менять
c[1] = 'a';             // Нельзя, т. к. меняется содержимое указываемого объекта
с = "345";              // Можно, т. к. меняется значение самого указателя

2) Константный указатель: можно менять содержимое объекта, но нельзя менять значение самого указателя. Проще говоря, указатель нельзя переназначить на другой объект, но сам указатель поменять можно.
char array[] = "string";
char * const с = array;
c[1] = 'a';    // можно
с = "345";     // нельзя

3) Константный указатель на константу: совокупность первых двух.
const char * const с = "123";

Attending the 2015 Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting this summer are, from left, UCSB Ph.D. students Stacy Copp, Nikki Marinsek, Matthew Gebbie, and Gregory Su.
Researchers listen to lectures by Nobel Laureates. Credit: Lindau Nobel Laureate MeetingSince 1951, Nobel Laureates in chemistry, physics, and physiology/medicine have convened annually in Lindau, located at the common border of Austria, Germany, and Switzerland, for open and informal meetings with students, postdocs, and young researchers. The Laureates lecture on the topic of their choice in the mornings and participate in less formal, small-group discussions with the students and postdocs in the afternoons and some evenings. The program is administered by ORAU (Oak Ridge Associated Universities) and is sponsored by ORAU, Mars Incorporated, and the National Science Foundation.
The UCSB students went through a highly competitive, multi-stage application process. First came an application, letter of recommendation, resume, and an essay explaining how attending the meeting could benefit their education and research. Once chosen as a UCSB nominee, the next stage involved national selection by the meeting's sponsors (55 U.S. applicants were chosen), then the final international selection by the Lindau Council. UCSB was 4-for-4 this year, with all of the university's nominees named participants for the 2015 meeting.
Stacy first learned about the Lindau Meeting in 2013 from her co-advisor. But that year the meeting focused on Chemistry, which was outside of her discipline. When she saw that this year's meeting was interdisciplinary, she applied to be a UCSB nominee. Stacy said the final round of competition focused on academic and research achievements as well as broader scientific interests.
She's honored to have been selected. "I feel a great responsibility to learn as much as I can from the experience and to bring what I learn back to my scientific community," she said.
Matt first learned about the program two years ago when a student in his research group, Steve Donaldson, was chosen to attend that year's meeting, which centered on Chemistry. See our 2013 GradPost article and read Steve's impressions and advice below. Matt decided to apply for the university-level competition when his advisor, Professor Jacob Israelachvili, offered to nominate him.
Nikki MarinsekNikki is a third-year Ph.D. student in Dynamical Neuroscience, a new interdisciplinary program that aims to understand the neural systems that support cognition and how they change over time. She uses a combination of behavioral and neuroimaging techniques to research what happens in the brain when individuals form, evaluate, and update explanations.
She says she is "deeply grateful" for "such an extraordinary opportunity to learn from top scientists and interact with researchers from around the world," and she intends to make the most of it.
Gregory SuThe fifth-year Materials Ph.D. student researches organic electronics, or using carbon-based materials for applications in a variety of electronic applications such as solar cells, transistors, and memory devices.
Greg learned about the Lindau meeting a couple of years ago when other UCSB students were chosen for the honor, and he "heard great things about the experience." He said that this year, his advisor encouraged him to apply, and he was fortunate to get through all of the application stages and be selected to attend.
Leah Kuritzky, far right, enjoyed lunch with Nobel Laureate Robert F. Curl Jr. and fellow members of the American delegation in Lindau in 2013. The delegates are, from left: Nicole Ostrowski from the University of Pittsburgh, Kim Gonzalez from Rice University, and Lara Jazmin from Vanderbilt University. Curl and two others were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1996 "for their discovery of fullerenes."In 2013, Chemical Engineering Ph.D. student Steve Donaldson and Materials Ph.D. student Leah Kuritzky were among the U.S. delegation to the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting. For them, the experience was inspirational, and the contacts and interactions with both the Nobel Laureates and other fellow researchers were invaluable.
Meeting and socializing with the Nobel winners was obviously a highlight for Steve, but he says he also enjoyed making new friends from such countries as Denmark, Scotland, Nepal, Italy, and Switzerland.

Het wapen van Blankenberge werd op 6 september 1988 bij Ministerieel besluit aan de West-Vlaamse gemeente Blankenberge verleend. Een eerdere versie van het wapen werd in 1841 toegekend.

Geschiedenis
Het eerste zegel van Blankenberge dateert uit 1330 en laat het volgende zien: boven een vis met een witte rots in de zee. Een tweede zegel uit 1542 laat hetzelfde zien, alleen werden er twee sterren boven toegevoegd. Het eerste bekende wapen van Blankenberge dateert uit een wapenboek van rond het einde van de 15de eeuw. Het gaat om een volgend wapen: een schild van sabel met een dwarsbalk van zilver, in de schildvoet vergezeld van een eentoppige heuvel. In 1557 beschreef ook Gaillard het wapen, waarbij de berg nu drie toppen had. Ditzelfde wapen werd in 1841 aan de stad toegekend.

De naam Blankenberge staat voor wittebergen, daar staan ook de drie bergtoppen voor. De symboliek voor de rest van het schild is onbekend. Een mogelijke verklaring zou de belangrijke familie Van Borssele zijn.

Na de fusie met Uitkerke in 1985 werd Blankenberge opnieuw stad en wilde het bestuur dit symboliseren met het plaatsen van een stedenkroon op het schild. Dit werd uiteindelijk ook uitgevoerd.

Beschrijving
De blazoenering uit 1841 luidt als volgt:

Een zwart veld, met eene zilveren bende vergezeld beneden van eenen berg met twee leegere bergtoppen, ook van zilver.

De huidige blazoenering uit 1899 luidt als volgt:

In sabel een dwarsbalk van zilver, vergezeld in de schildvoet van een uitkomende drieberg van hetzelfde. Het schild getopt met een stedenkroon met vijf torentjes van goud.

NB: De heraldische kleuren zijn: goud (geel), sabel (zwart) en zilver. Het schild wordt gedekt door een Stedenkroon. Het wapen is een sprekend wapen, gezien de symboliek.

Philadelphia City Councilman Bobby Henon spent the last few days testing the waters to see if he could still hang out in his constituency, nestled among his base of support and eke out an existence operating his city council constituent service operation from remote.
It would give him something to do while he waits out the long process fighting a 116-count indictment of IBEW Local 98's leadership, he figures.
It sounds nice for him to immediately resign but economics says that the vast expense that a Federal indictment this big costs to defend, Councilman Henon will need to continue to draw a salary–both from Local 98 and from his council packet to pay his lawyer, Brian McMonagle.
Off and on over the last few days I've delved into the long indictment to get my own read of the councilman's behavior, trying to compare it to the Henon that I personally know.
Henon's long tenure at Local 98 has definitely caused much of John Dougherty's own persona to reflect into Henon's thinking. Henon viewed himself as a warrior for the union and deadly to its enemies.
Page 125 features an episode where the Plumber's union was seeking the councilman's help to get favorable building codes updated, limiting where PVC piping can be used. Henon knew the plumbers were helpless while legislation was being discussed; Johnny Doc and Henon conspired to ensure that the Plumber's union would back a vote Doc needed.
Henon then told an "elected state official" that he was holding the City's building code legislation up as leverage.
Wherever you might be on the worth of the $137 million-dollar Soda Tax (that's what it's collected so far so-sayeth the city controller), the real story of how this tax came to be in our city is something truly shocking and unexpected.
Starting on Page 119, the US attorney describes a scenario where Bobby Henon had caught wind and viewed a commercial that the Teamsters Union put together featuring some Doc criticisms. Henon exploded, picked up the phone and called Dougherty.
Two days after this phone call, Henon and Doc reached out to an advertising agency to lay ground work on selling the idea of a soda tax. Two months later Dougherty intimated out loud that he wanted the soda tax passed to kill jobs at the Teamsters Union.
While the mayor's office put on a public face that the soda tax had a groundswell of support, there was nearly none. Dougherty was one of the leading proponents behind the Philadelphia sweetened beverage tax, including numerous appearances in City Hall to lobby for it, and doing plenty of arm-twisting to ensure it happened.
Our own mayor devilishly tried to fool our city's black clergy by buying-off the chapter president of the NAACP. 20 members of the black clergy have since denounced the tax since businesses pass the tax directly on to low-income consumers.
And then there was of course the money-push by Michael Bloomberg hoping to see one of his own policy ideas stick. It nearly did become a nationwide hit, except Chicago passed and then just as quickly repealed its own soda tax. Efforts to spread the nanny-tax ever onward have fizzled out.
The remaining foul-aftertaste from the Soda Tax is that Pre-K is only a small component of where the money the tax collects is being allocated against. The mayor was caught off guard when Rebecca Rhynhart, the city controller, stepped in to announce an ongoing audit of proceeds and revenue collected.
When it came to Local 98 business, Henon was more than willing to sell out his council seat. Page 112 of the indictment describes Henon taking calls directly from Local 98 and then immediately filing bogus complaints to the Department of Licenses and Inspections to stop two kiddie-MRI machines to be installed at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
What's hilarious about this caper is that at least one L+I employee caught the fraud and reversed one of the stop work orders put against the hospital. During the installation of a second MRI machine, L+I was sent back out to condemn the entire imaging department where the machine was located.
During this whole affair, Councilman Henon was being paid a salary for an untitled director's position at Local 98. And during telephone and text conversations he was reminded that he was put on City Council to do Local 98's bidding, and business.
Was Bobby doing it for the children? I wonder.
During the early years Councilman Henon definitely prioritized going after blight and decline of Northeast Philadelphia. It's an area that most white-liberals who live in the city's gentrifying areas ignore. During the lean years of the 1970s-1990s this 1/3-rd of town generated half the City's tax earnings.
Over the past 15 years bits and parts of the Northeast have been fading. Employers closed, residents died and surviving children no longer wanted to invest in their homes. Ownership blocks converted one by one to rental and absentee-rental dominated areas. The heroin epidemic has spread throughout this part of the city and pockets have seen alarming increases of crime. Depending on where you live, parts of the Northeast seem on the brink.
This is where I and Councilman Henon's concerns merged. At one point he appointed me to team up with a property review committee he made up of various community leaders and organizers through parts of his council district. One by one, nuisance properties were brought in to review. Photographs were collected, owners investigated, resolutions found. The pattern was repeated a few times and several civic organizations started review committees of their own.
Councilman Henon personally intervened to push super-tax-delinquent properties into sheriff sale, refer drug houses to the DA's office and find other remedies to get properties to turn the corner and a resolution found. For once, more residents were interested in fighting the blight than they were looking to escape from it in the sanctuary of a mover's truck.
But this darker Bobby Henon that I now know almost seems to erase the one that I've met. The petty, conniving, stab-you-in-the-back, my-way-or-the-highway councilman that the Federal indictment and soon the wiretap tapes will show, is just absolutely demoralizing.
My communication with Mr. Henon's office ended after I learned a few particulars about two of Mr. Henon's aides that I don't really want to discuss here. I never did receive a wiretap notice from the FBI, but I did talk with him on the phone during the period he was being wiretapped. I had written about a controversy involving 7777-R State Road, a property Henon was looking for the City to buy to expand the prion complex. I never did find anything about that land deal to be shady, but something about it never sat well with me.
After that, I avoided any further contact.
Maybe it was something in the back of my mind that told me you probably don't want to depend too much on Bobby for anything.

Why does chemotherapy affect my toenails?
If you have been treated with chemotherapy, you know the many effects it has on your body. Most commonly you may have experienced hair loss. Nails are similar in composition to hair and are also often effected by chemotherapy.
Some forms of chemotherapy can cause your nails to fall off. When this happens it is usually without pain. Other times the nails become significantly weakened. Both of these, along with the suppression of your immune system, can lead to a fungal infection of your nails. While you can treat this infection with topical medication, such as Formula 3, during chemotherapy, the use of other treatments should not be pursued until chemotherapy is finished and you recover your strength.
At Tanglewood Foot Specialists in Houston, TX, Dr. Andrew Schneider treats all conditions of the foot and ankle related to chemotherapy. Contact our Houston podiatry office for treatment you can be confident will be the right one during your chemotherapy treatment.


I have a new home builder that wants to treat the framed houses because he did not do a pretreatment. is this effective?
As far as a preventive treatment, a complete treatment under the surface area of the house is the standard. This includes spraying all of the soil and creating a chemical "barrier" between the house foundation and the soil. Treatment of anything less than this is not considered a "pre-treatment" but is considered a "post-treatment". Treating only the outside foundation of the house using Termidor can control them, however much depends on the actual construction of the home and the final landscaping after construction.
Treatment of the wood inside the house would have to be performed using Bora Care and not Termidor. This can also be beneficial, but has to be performed BEFORE any sheetrock has been installed. Treatment of the sill plates and studs up to about 3 feet from the foundation floor is the standard. Also most companies use a green or blue DYE that indicates where the treatment is applied.
So basically, to answer your question, it can work but instead of treating 100% of the soil below the foundation, treatment of the exterior foundation only ( less than 5% of the total soil ) is better than nothing at all and the only treatment that can be made after construction is complete.

Repeat Violence Injunction Defense Lawyers in Orlando, Florida
It is unlawful in Florida to engage in battery, assault, sexual crimes, and stalking. Even threatening to commit these crimes can lead to a criminal conviction. In most instances, conduct that is violent can result in charges being brought against the alleged offender. Notwithstanding, in some cases, violence may become subject to an injunction, which is a proceeding in civil court. However, it often presents like a criminal issue despite the fact that the injunction does not result in penalties such as imprisonment, probation, etc. (except if violated).
As noted above, an injunction is a civil remedy that aims to prevent violent behavior. In Orlando, any individual can seek an injunction on his or her own behalf and/or on behalf of a minor child. The injunction serves to prevent the alleged offender, known as the respondent, from coming into close contact with the alleged victim, known as the petitioner. When pursuing an injunction, a petitioner can seek five types of injunctions available under Florida law, including a repeat violence injunction. A person can seek a repeat violence injunction when he or she has been the victim of more than one violent act, one of which must have occurred within six months prior to the time that the petitioner files the petition with the court.
Many people who seek a repeat violence injunction may believe that they are in danger of being subject to violent behavior. There may also be a fear that a minor child may also be in jeopardy. However, it is not uncommon for a person to pursue a repeat violence injunction based upon a misstatement of the facts or completely false information. This can be detrimental to the person subject to the injunction, as it can lead to serious legal consequences.
Any individual who is a respondent in a repeat violence injunction case, or who may be subject to any other type of injunction, must contact a skilled Orlando Repeat Violence Injunction Defense Attorney as soon as possible, as the repercussions of an injunction can negatively and permanently affect the life of the respondent. At Musca Law, our team of experienced Repeat Violence Defense Attorneys have handled countless injunction cases, and are ready now to help you learn more about your legal rights and options. To speak with one of our lawyers, you can contact us at (888) 484-5057.
What are the Different Forms of Injunctions in Orlando, Florida?
For anyone who is pursuing an injunction in Orlando must submit to the court a petition using an approved form which provides for the type of injunction requested and a detailed summary of the facts that support the request for an injunction. There are five types of injunctions under Florida law that a petitioner can seek, including:
Domestic Violence Injunction;
Stalking Injunction;
Repeat Violence Injunction;
Sexual Violence Injunction; and
Dating Violence Injunction.
Once an individual submits to the court a petition for an injunction, the court will examine the petition and render a determination as to whether to grant or deny a temporary injunction. If the temporary injunction is granted, a final hearing will be scheduled fifteen days later. A respondent is then served with a copy of the petition, the temporary injunction order, and the date and time of the final hearing. The respondent must then immediately contact a skilled Orlando Repeat Violence Injunction Defense Lawyer, as fifteen days is not a lot of time to prepare for a strong defense strategy. At the final hearing, the respondent and petitioner appear to argue their side of the case. An experienced defense attorney is critical at this stage because they know the court procedure and the judge, and can present the respondent's case to give him or her the best chance of receiving a favorable outcome.
Florida Law Governing Repeat Violence Injunctions
Pursuant to Florida Statute Section 784.046(1)(a), "violence" is defined as "any assault, aggravated assault, battery, aggravated battery, sexual assault, sexual battery, stalking, aggravated stalking, kidnapping, or false imprisonment, or any criminal offense resulting in physical injury or death, by a person or against any other person." Moreover, Statute Section 784.056(b) "repeat violence" is defined as "two incidents of violence or stalking committed by the respondent, one of which must have been within 6 [(six)] months of the filing of the petition, which are directed against the petitioner or the petitioner's immediate family member."
The consequences of a repeat violence injunction are severe and can negatively affect the respondent for years to come. Even if the respondent is not facing criminal charges, he or she will be faced with criminal-like repercussions from an Orlando repeat violence injunction. For instance, the respondent may have to surrender his or her ammunition and firearms. In addition, the respondent may be forced to seek a mental health evaluation and treatment, if needed. If a repeat violence injunction is violated, then the respondent could face criminal charges. Hence, a respondent should treat an injunction as seriously as any criminal offense.
What is Needed to File a Repeat Violence Injunction in Orange County Florida
Orlando repeat violence injunction cases are commonly sought by household members or family, such as ex-spouses, spouses, children, parents, and significant others. Notwithstanding, in some instances, repeat violence injunctions may be sought to prevent ongoing violence from others such as co-workers, neighbors, friends, or even complete strangers in the case of cyberstalking or stalking. Repeat violence injunctions can be pursued regardless of the type of relationship between the respondent and petitioner.
In a repeat violence injunction matter, the petitioner must establish that that there was more than one act of violence that occurred within six months before the time that he or she filed the petition.
Judges in Orlando often exercise caution when determining whether to deny or grant a temporary injunction. When the petition is filed, a petitioner does not need to provide evidence with the court's form however, it does help his or her case. The final hearing is when the judge will examine the facts in detail and determine the veracity of the petition.
Given the fact that the safety and health of Orlando citizens are of the greatest importance, judges often give the petitioner the benefit of the doubt when determining whether to grant a repeat violence injunction. Specifically, judges weigh the benefits and costs in each case, ultimately determining that the petitioner's safety outweighs the negative consequences experienced by the respondent once a repeat violence is in place. This is not to suggest that judges always grant repeat violence injunctions, as many petitioners in Florida file petitions that contain false allegations in order to exact revenge against the respondent. This often occurs when one spouse is attempting to gain an advantage in a divorce case. Judges prefer that a petition is supported with documentation, including phone logs, texts, and email exchanges, when determining whether to grant or deny a temporary injunction. In essence, judges want petitioners to bring forth enough evidence to demonstrate that they are at risk of repeat violence in order to decide whether to grant a temporary injunction and schedule a final hearing in the matter.
The Repeat Violence Injunction Hearing Process in Orlando, Florida
Once a judge grants a temporary repeat violence injunction, the respondent will have the opportunity to challenge and/or explain the allegations raised in the petition. A skilled Orlando Repeat Violence Injunction Defense Attorney will bring forth evidence to demonstrate that the allegations raised by the petitioner are exaggerated, misleading, completely false, or that they do not meet the necessary requirements under Florida law to warrant a repeat violence injunction. Evidence that can be presented to the court often includes electronic communications (such as text messages, emails, social media postings) and letters, a petitioner's criminal record, voicemails, etc.
The Consequences of a Repeat Violence Injunction in Orlando, Florida
If a respondent is not successful in challenging a repeat violence injunction during the final hearing, he or she will face many serious repercussions. This includes having to undergo a mental health evaluation and treatment, if necessary (at his or her own expense), the inability to contact the petitioner, whether directly or indirectly such as through a family member or friend), difficulty finding housing, gainful employment, and obtaining a bank loan, social stigma, the loss of one's job, criminal charges if the repeat violence injunction is violated, the inability to remain in a shared dwelling, and the requirement to stay away from the petitioner.
Given the above-stated consequences, the respondent must contact a skilled and experienced Orlando Repeat Violence Injunction Defense Lawyer as soon as possible in order to challenge the petition and raise the strongest defense case possible.
Terminating or Modifying a Repeat Violence Injunction in Orlando, Florida
A repeat violence injunction in Orlando may not include an expiration date. Meaning, it will last forever. Notwithstanding, the petitioner and/or the respondent may seek to have the repeat violence injunction modified or terminated by submitting to the court a motion requesting same. The judge will then ascertain whether there are grounds to modify or terminate the repeat violence injunction.
There are several reasons why a party seeks to modify or terminate an Orland repeat violence injunction. The respondent and petitioner may make amends, or one of the parties moves out of the area such that the injunction is no longer needed. After a motion to modify or terminate a repeat violence injunction is presented to the court, each party will have the chance to present his or her case, either opposing or supporting a motion to modify or terminate the repeat violence injunction.
Extending the Time Frame of a Repeat Violence Injunction in Orlando, Florida
In the event that an Orlando repeat violence injunction is set to expire, the petitioner can seek the court's relief in extending it through a motion that is submitted to the court. The motion must be filed before the injunction expires. The judge will then review all of the evidence as well as hear the arguments raised by each of the parties in determining whether to extend the timeframe of a repeat violence injunction in Orlando.
Challenging a Repeat Violence Injunction in Orlando, Florida
Repeat violence proceedings can be stressful as well as challenging, however, a competent attorney can make the process a lot less daunting. However, when determining to hire an attorney, it is important to make sure that he or she has significant experience in both criminal law and injunction matters. Otherwise stated, it is vital that the respondent work with an attorney who knows the judges, the court's procedure, has the requisite skills, experience, and expertise, and who has a stellar reputation in the community.
Keep in mind that even with a skilled attorney, a judge in Orlando may determine that a repeat violence injunction is warranted. However, the odds generally increase when a respondent is working alongside of an aggressive and diligent attorney. The right attorney will conduct an in depth examination of the petitioner's allegations to determine the veracity of the facts contained in the petition. He or she will also develop the strongest defense strategy possible. Specifically, an experienced attorney knows what is at stake and the steps necessary to persuade the judge that a repeat violence injunction is unwarranted.
Defending Yourself Against a Repeat Violence Injunction in Orlando, Florida
Every person has the right to represent themselves in court, no matter whether it is a criminal or civil proceeding. Some cases can easily be handled without a lawyer present, such as a case brought in a small claim's court. However, civil injunctions and criminal matters are extremely serious, and many of those who represent themselves lose the case because they are not familiar with the judge, the court procedure, and the applicable law. They may also lack the experience to properly challenge a petition for a repeat violence injunction in Orlando. Even if you are a lawyer, it is not recommended that you represent yourself, as it is critical to work with an attorney who regularly handles injunction cases. While representing yourself saves money, the repercussions of a repeat violence injunction could be much costlier.
Moreover, Orlando Repeat Violence Injunction Attorneys have the necessary skills and resources that a person who represents themselves does not typically have, such as the funds, manpower, experience, and knowledge how a judge typically decides. Such resources are vital in order to successfully challenge a repeat violence injunction. These are all attributes that often result in a dismissal of a case against a respondent.
When representing a respondent in a repeat violence injunction case, an attorney is familiar with all of the defenses that may apply in one's case. Such defenses include, without limitation, the following:
The petitioner knowingly made false statements and/or allegations in the petition;
The petitioner misstated the facts and/or allegations in the petition;
The petitioner misrepresented the facts and/or allegations in the petition;
The petitioner did not present sufficient evidence to warrant a repeat violence injunction; and/or
The petitioner's allegations are not supported by the facts.

So the final day of NYCC arrived, and all the fun and joy of the event was already winding down by the time we had arrived this morning. There were still plenty of cosplayers around, showing off their awesome and not –so-awesome costumes.
As I browsed the halls looking for more interesting cosplay, I found out that Ankama, the developers behind Dofus and Wakfu, also had a showing at NYCC this year, but not to showcase a new video game title (which is a shame, since I would really like to hear some new details on their previously revealed title called "Slage" which is a full 3D diablo-style dungeon crawler.) Instead, they were here to showcase their recent Kickstarter funded board game called: "Krosmaster: Arena".
Krosmaster: Arena is a figured-based board game based on both the Dofus and Wakfu universes. Players will get to use colorful and detailed figurines on a grid-based map, along with all sorts of tokens and battle cards in order to battle against up to six opponents. To win, players must deplete their opponents' "Gallons of Glory" (or GG for short) tokens through combat or by economical means. I decided to play a quick match of Krosmater and I must say that the game's mechanics were actually very clever. It felt much like a mix between the tactical gameplay in both Dofus and Wakfu while throwing in some MOBA-style combat for good measure.
They also had a very popular cosplayer named Toni Darling, who was dressed up in a signature Tofu bird outfit to help promote the game.
After that, I went back on the hunt for some more unique cosplayers.
While on my search, my attention was then drawn towards the Ubisoft booth that I've been passing up quite frequently. Over at the booth, they had a big, black room set up to showcase their upcoming open-world action-adventure title: Watch Dogs. At the entrance of the room, there was a sign that stated that no video cameras and no flash photography was allowed in the booth. Apparently they didn't want any leaked footage of the presentation inside to show up on YouTube, but after I entered the booth and sat through the presentation, I felt that all of the extra security measures weren't really necessary. The demonstration in the booth was apparently just a recorded gameplay demonstration that was already shown back during PAX EAST 2013. It was a fairly short demo and it really didn't showcase anything about the game that the public didn't already know about.
I'm not sure if I'm the only one that feels this way, but every time I see new footage for Watch Dogs, the game seems to get less and less impressive. Then again, my opinion probably isn't too invalid, considering that Ubisoft has recently announced that the game will have its release date pushed back to spring of 2014.
So the last thing I checked out before leaving the convention center was the Twitch.TV booth where they were showcasing live matches for another upcoming Double Helix title: Killer Instinct (2013). The hosts for the booth were picking spectators from the crowd to come up and try the game out, as well as have them compete to see who can win one of their daily prizes, including widescreen TVs and gaming cases. I wanted to be picked to play SO badly, not because I wanted to win a prize, but because I really wanted to give the new Killer Instinct game a try. Sadly, I never got selected to participate.
Still, just being able to watch matches for the game in full 60 frames-per-second was excellent. I would have to say that my reaction to the game is the exact opposite of my reaction to Watch Dogs, as the game seems to look better and better every time I come across it. I really hope to see the final outcome for Killer Instinct, and perhaps Double Helix will be able to shake off the stigma they've obtained for releasing really bad licensed games over the years.
As I bring my NYCC 2013 entry to a close, one thing that I really feel the need to point out is that this year's New York Comic-con wasn't as spectacular as last year or the year before it, mainly because this was perhaps the first Comic-con in a long time that was (primarily) focused on comics and animation rather than comics, animation and entertainment, which makes plenty of sense, but would probably come off as a disappointment to those that attend these conventions for the spectacle of it all. There wasn't many A or even B-list celebrates this year. Many of the entertainment booths were showcasing games or videos that have already been released to the public, and many of the panels were just so unappealing and uninteresting compared to last year.
But overall, this year's NYCC was a great experience. I would love to attend it again next year, but if I do, I'm planning to bring a much bigger press crew along for the ride.
The first add-on for the turn-based, tactical co-op game, Shadowrun Chronicles, INFECTED! continues the Boston Lockdown story arc.

First Reflections on the Charles Taylor Appeals Judgment – Part 2
October 1, 2013 / Sofie A. E. Høgestøl	/ 2 Comments
Part II of a two-part post on the Appeals Chamber judgment in the Taylor case; the first post is available here.
(ii) Disagreements on the elements of aiding and abetting liability
Between the release of the two Taylor judgments, the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) issued its Appeals Judgment in the Perišić case. The Perišić Trial Judgment had been an important authority in the Taylor Trial Judgment, as the Taylor Trial Chamber had cited it as one of its main authorities for the elements of aiding and abetting liability. However, the Perišić Appeals Chamber overturned the Perišić Trial Judgment, and articulated a new legal standard for aiding and abetting in its Appeals Judgment. Thus, many questioned whether the Taylor Appeals Chamber would follow this new legal standard for aiding and abetting. A standard under which Perišić was acquitted, and under which Taylor's conviction might also have been overturned.
The Perišić Appeals Judgment added 'specific direction' as a third element of the actus reus (physical element) of aiding and abetting. Hence, the new Perišić standard establishes a higher threshold or degree of involvement for aiding and abetting, as the accused's assistance now has to be shown to have been directed specifically at the commission of a crime (and not simply be a more general form of contribution).
The elements of aiding and abetting had been another central appeals ground for the Taylor defence; with the defence arguing that the Trial Chamber's interpretation of aiding and abetting was so overly broad that an alleged aider could easily fulfill them unconsciously (p. 49898 of Appeal Transcript). The defence argued that the Trial Chamber had breached the principle of personal culpability because it had essentially criminalized any contribution made to a party during and armed conflict (Taylor Appeal Brief para. 446-449). In my mind, this again goes back to the problem of evidence. While none of the parties disputed the fact that Taylor had provided general assistance to the RUF/AFRC, it was much harder to find concrete proof that Taylor had provided assistance towards the commission of specific crimes.
In the end, the Taylor Appeals Chamber rejected the new Perišić standard, and concluded that its own independent review of post-WWII jurisprudence showed that specific direction is not an element of aiding and abetting under customary international law (Appeals Judgment para. 474). So we now find ourselves in a position where Appeals Chambers at the SCSL and ICTY have, within a 7 month time frame, issued very different opinions on the elements of aiding and abetting under customary international law. This perhaps being an indication of how subjective the exercise of determining customary international law can be in practice. The ICC is not bound by case law from the ad hoc or hybrid tribunals, and it will be interesting to see how the ICC consolidates conflicting jurisprudence from the various temporary courts.
(iii) The Charles Taylor judgment, political selectivity or a brave new doctrine in international criminal justice?
As we have seen, Taylor (as a head of state) has not been convicted of crimes committed within his own territory. Rather he now stands convicted of having planned and aided the commission of crimes in a neighboring country, by virtue of having provided substantial assistance to a rebel group. This is certainly a novel conviction, and a precedence that is seen by many as highly problematic.
On the one hand we can argue that the Charles Taylor case can be seen as a brave new doctrine in international criminal justice, allowing for heads of states to be punished for their criminal involvement in other countries. However, the likelihood of the Taylor doctrine being used to indict senior political leaders from powerful States – for their involvement in the commission of crimes in foreign countries – is arguably slim.
September 30, 2013 October 1, 2013 / Sofie A. E. Høgestøl	/ 2 Comments
Part I of a two-part post on the Appeals Chamber judgment in the Taylor case; the second post is available here.
On September 26th, 2013, the Appeals Chamber rendered its final judgment in the case against Charles Taylor at the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL). The final judgment in the Taylor case is a major landmark for modern international criminal law. Not only is Taylor the first head of state to be convicted by a modern international criminal tribunal, but the conclusion of the Taylor case also marks the end of the SCSL's judicial activities. As such, the SCSL has become the first international criminal court to finish its prosecutions since Nuremberg.
The Taylor case is also unique because Taylor was charged with crimes committed outside his own geographic jurisdiction. Taylor was the head of Liberia during the Sierra Leonean civil war, but was charged with crimes committed in Sierra Leone because of his close ties with the Rebel United Front (RUF) and Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC) rebel groups; groups considered responsible for most atrocities committed during the Sierra Leonean civil war. The Prosecution argued that Taylor participated in a joint criminal enterprise (JCE) with the RUF/AFRC to commit crimes in Sierra Leone, and charged Taylor with 11 counts of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and other serious violations of international humanitarian law.
On April 26th, 2012, the SCSL convicted Taylor on all 11 counts. However, the Trial Chamber concluded that the Prosecution failed to establish Taylor's participation in a JCE with the RUF/AFRC. Instead, the judges found Taylor individually criminally responsible for aiding and abetting the rebel groups, and for participating in the planning of rebel attacks in Kono, Makeni, and Freetown. The Trial Chamber sentenced Taylor to 50 years in prison. The defence filed 45 grounds of appeal and called for Taylor's full acquittal, arguing that the Trial Chamber made systematic errors when evaluating the evidence against Taylor, and also erred in its legal interpretation of aiding and abetting liability. The prosecution on the other hand produced four grounds of appeal, arguing that the Trial Chamber erred by failing to find Taylor individually criminally responsible for ordering and instigating the commission of crimes, and by only sentencing Taylor to 50 years.
In the end, and after a year of deliberations, the Appeals Chamber more or less affirmed the Trial Judgment, with few exceptions. The Appeals Chamber rejected all substantial defence grounds, but did – per the Prosecutor's appeal – reverse the Trial Chamber's holding that aiding and abetting liability warranted a lesser sentence than other forms of criminal responsibility. As such, the Appeals Judgment itself was somewhat shorter and less eventful than what might have been expected. Nevertheless, there were three interrelated issues that stood out to me as I watched the live transmission of the Appeals Judgment:
(i) The difficulty of proving crimes under international criminal law
Half the grounds of appeal made by the defence in the Taylor appeal were related to evidentiary issues. The defence appealed on the basis that the Trial Chamber based its evidentiary findings on uncorroborated hearsay evidence; an argument the Appeals Chamber rejected.
The evidentiary issues in the Taylor case have been controversial from the start. An alternate judge in the case garnered substantial international attention when he publicly concluded that "the guilt of the accused from the evidence provided in this trial is not proved beyond a reasonable doubt". Academics and practitioners have also questioned whether the evidence presented in the Trial Judgment is enough to prove the charges against Taylor.
To the public, it is often difficult to understand that it could be problematic to collect evidence against a man like Charles Taylor. But, as the Taylor case illustrates, finding evidence tying senior political perpetrators to atrocity crimes is difficult. Few war criminals are compelled to record their criminal activities in writing. As the Chief Prosecutor in the Taylor case has stated, "[t]he Accused never set foot in Sierra Leone when these crimes were being committed… He never directly, physically committed these crimes". The physical distance between the person on trial and the crimes alleged is typical in a war crimes trial; hence the need to rely on hearsay witness testimony that documents meetings and communications between the defendant and the physical perpetrators of the crime. But, as illustrated by the Taylor case, striking a balance between the use of such hearsay evidence and the defendants fair trial rights, continues to be controversial.

I received a fulfillment email; what does this mean?
When you receive this email, it means that your order has been processed and is ready to ship. All you have to do is wait for your package to arrive at its destination.
Sometimes, after making a purchase and receiving your item(s), you may receive another fulfillment email. You may either disregard the email or contact Customer Service for clarification.
I received my order confirmation email, then suddenly an order cancellation email; what happened?
When this happens, it means that your order was accepted; but did not pass the fraud-protection filters and therefore cancelled your order. You may email or call Customer Service to have your order fixed.
Credit card fraud costs companies and consumers millions of dollars annually and we take it very seriously here at Flexible Assembly Systems, Inc. For your protection and ours, orders that appear fraudulent may be held for review. If necessary, a representative will call or email you to verify the order. If we are unable to verify the order, the order may be cancelled. Fraud review may delay the shipment and delivery of your order. We reserve the right to cancel any order.
We have an international card, can we shop online?
The only international credit cards accepted, are cards from Canada. All other countries will have to make a wire-transfer in order to make their purchase. If you're looking to pay by wire-transfer, call or email Customer Service for assistance. Note: All wire-transfers incur a $25 dollar bank wire-transfer fee. Canadian card orders must have a matching billing and shipping address.
I received my confirmation email, what's next?
You will receive an "Order Processed" email once your order has been processed and approved. It will also included the expected delivery interval. Around the same time as you receive the "Order Processed" email, you will also receive a "Cash Sale" email. Please be aware, these two emails do not indicate that you have been charged twice.
If you would like to change any information on your order please contact our customer service department for further assistance. Spare parts are non-returnable, non-cancelable, and are non-refundable. Merchandise that has been special ordered and not normally stocked by us may incur a 25% cancellation charge.

Why is the shipping rate over $26 for a little part?
When I try to checkout, I get an error that says that I need to select a card; my card information has been inserted. Help!?
Something like this doesn't occur often; rarely in fact. When this happens, go to the payment method section of the checkout and completely remove your card information; then retype it in. This should fix the error and you'll be able to checkout. If this does not work for you, and the same issue occurs on another browser that you have used, contact Customer Service and the order will be processed over the phone.
My order was canceled and there's nothing wrong with the card.
When an order cancels, you have to make sure that the information you put in is correct.

too many attempts to order may result in multiple "authorizations", in which would emulate insufficient funds. These charges normally go away within 2-3 business days or however long the card issuer's bank will hold the pending transactions.
For your protection, we have limited the number of order submission attempts before taking the order and canceling it. If you have made more than 4 attempts within one hour, or 6 attempts within 24 hours - contact Customer Service to assist with processing your order.

Roxeanne Friedel Wilhelmina Hazes (Gouda, 18 januari 1993) is een Nederlandse zangeres.

Biografie
Hazes werd geboren als dochter van de in 2004 overleden zanger André Hazes en Rachel Hazes. Ze is de oudere zus van André Hazes jr.. Op de basisschool hield Hazes al veel van zingen. Thuis zong ze vaak mee met haar vader, met wie ze eveneens samen liedjes schreef. In 2004 deed ze auditie voor Kinderen voor Kinderen. Met klasgenootjes richtte Hazes een bandje op en trad hiermee op tijdens schoolfeestjes.

Zangcarrière
Hazes debuteerde op tv als zangeres op 16 maart 2007 in het SBS6-programma So You Wanna Be a Popstar. Ze was de elfde en laatste deelnemer aan dit programma. De arbeidsinspectie lette extra op Hazes' optreden vanwege haar jonge leeftijd. SBS had daarom afgesproken dat ze maximaal vijftien keer mocht optreden en dat ze na 22.30 uur niet in de uitzending zou verschijnen. Hazes werd gecoacht door Tom Peters. Uiteindelijk verloor ze in de sing-off van Sascha Visser en eindigde ze als vierde.

In juni 2007 bracht Hazes haar debuutsingle Ik hou van jou uit. Ook was ze te horen op het duettenalbum Samen met Dré dat in november 2007 uitkwam. De zangeres zong daarop het nummer Wees zuinig op m'n meissie met haar vader. Tevens leende Hazes haar stem voor de Nederlandse versie van de film Alvin and the Chipmunks, die vanaf februari 2008 in Nederlandse bioscopen draaide. Ze verzorgde hierin de stem van Gail. Op 26 mei 2008 was ze gastartiest tijdens Samen met Dré in concert in de ArenA.

Hazes maakte in 2010 en 2012 twee albums met haar jongere broer André Hazes jr. Beide platen bereikten de top 20 in de Nederlandse albumlijst en wisten bovendien een notering te scoren in de Vlaamse Ultratop.

In november 2013 zong Roxeanne Hazes samen met LiedjesPiet een sinterklaasliedje in de Sinterklaasserie Het nieuws van Sint. In 2015 was Hazes gastartiest tijdens de concerten van De Toppers in de Amsterdam ArenA. Ook is ze jaarlijks een van de artiesten die meezingt tijdens Holland Zingt Hazes, een evenement in de Ziggo Dome waar bekende artiesten liedjes van Hazes' vader zingen. Daaruit vloeit ook het duet Wat is dan liefde voort met Jeroen van der Boom.

In 2016 was ze een van de deelnemers van het programma Celebrity Stand-Up en had ze een kleine rol als barvrouw in de film Hartenstrijd.

In mijn bloed
Begin 2017 keerde Hazes na een relatief lange stilte terug met een nieuwe single, Ik was toch je meisje. Ze tekende bij platenmaatschappij Top Notch, waar op 1 september 2017 haar debuutalbum In mijn bloed verscheen. Recensenten spraken van 'een geslaagde start van het tweede deel'.

In februari 2017 kwam Hazes met de single Ballade van de moord, een duet met de band Thijs Boontjes Dans- en Showorkest. Dit nummer ontbreekt op het album.

De lancering van In mijn bloed, met Lakshmi in het voorprogramma, vond op 7 september plaats in de Melkweg (Amsterdam). Het NRC gaf het concert vier sterren en noemde Hazes "naturel, een beetje onvast, maar in alles veelbelovend." Een week na de release kwam In mijn bloed in de Nederlandse Album Top 100 binnen op 12 en in de Vlaamse Ultratop 200 op 110.

In het tv-seizoen 2017/2018 is Hazes de nieuwe huisband van De Wereld Draait Door.

Op 22 mei 2019 verscheen Bonnie & Clyde, een ode aan de liefde en de eerste single van het nieuwe, aankomende album.

Persoonlijk

Hazes heeft een relatie met Erik Zwennes, met wie ze sinds maart 2017 verloofd is en sinds juli 2018 een zoon heeft.

Ze heeft in 2023 via een kort geding tegen haar moeder Rachel bereikt dat die kopieën van enkele documenten aan haar moet verstrekken over de nalatenschap van André sr.

Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2. And, eagerly, patiently, checking the forums with a hope that, atleast one day or other the problem, might get fixed. If you'd like to contribute content, let us know. One is the definitions per hardware in forcedeth but I noticed in the lscpi output os some of you that posted that there is a msi and msix enabled flag for the pci bus. Comment 26 Carlos Avila Comment on this change optional. I found the bug can be triggered by following a specific sequence.
Is there a fix to that or does this box need to go back to cent6?
We are no longer excepting NEW bugs into the release, bar critical regressions and blocker issues. Attached is the output of "lspci -vv".
Comment 1 Carlos Avila I had this problem in Hardy, if it's somehow been marked as something that doesn't need to be fixed the person doing the classifying is a fool. Leann Ogasawara leannogasawara wrote on Since no regressions are allowed between releases, it is also being proposed as a blocker for this release.
If you want more tests, just tell me, i would be glad to help you solve this problem. In order for the installer to build the driver, the kernel source needs to be lnux.
Comment 2 Andy Gospodarek Comment 16 Andres Barcenas Comment 60 Kelsey Hightower On a second thought Mfp55 think this was wrong thinking. This bug affects 3 people. Information from a non working kernel.
Which would make me think the following should prevent NM from doing anything:. Comment 44 Carlos Avila Hardware is the same as in the first post. I downloaded the latest driver from nvidia which is for a 2.
Comment 21 Andy Gospodarek Stefan Bader smb on ,inux network card was and still is as far as I know the standard one for mesh computers in the uk and they supply a large number of pc's.
I wanted to get ubuntu limux and switch to it but the fact that you need to be a computer geek to use it and I'm obviously not geek enough with 10 years of programming experience and I don't have any more weeks of my life I'm prepared to waste on it and the fact that this bug is not considered important enough to be dealt with in an update, means it's back to windows for me. I tried to make this run every time I log in This is is stored in a plain text file in my documents folder but after sudo su I need to type in my password, So it linus work!
Yes Advertised link modes: And I am afraid this will require some time and effort.
The following link, shows in detail, what are all the various options, ive tried. Right now I'm downloading Linux kernel 2.
It does not seem likely the the other message you saw: Comment 54 Kelsey Hightower It works by me too. This problem is still relevant in Ubuntu 8. Nivida nic is able to maintain network connectivity after the above test.

Lorde Teases New Music On Mysterious Website, So What Are You Waiting For?
We might never be royals, but at least we have new Lorde music on the way.
Reports circulated this month that the hitmaker was set to drop the new album in early March after a tweet about a Republic Records music meeting made the internet rounds.
The new website, which boasts the URL www.imwaitingforit.com, is titled M*******A and features a single video of the singer. In the short clip, a soda-sipping Lorde chills in the backseat of a car with a driver in front as supremely catchy music plays in the background.
Then, two dates and locations flash across screen ― March 2, 2017 for New York City and March 3, 2017 for New Zealand ― before the screen cuts to black.


I can't discuss it. Don't rub it in, Terrance. Hughes wondered where Alejandro was. I live on the top floor of a six storey apartment block. I quit my job the day before yesterday. Would you like some more? It was hard for me to refuse his request. She never saw him again. Americans have lost their trust in Toyota. I was hungry but there was no fruit or ice cream for me.
War is a business. It's no wonder there has never been peace. The Statue of Liberty is not tired, and not because it is made of bronze. She tried to get a tent, but she couldn't find the one she wanted. You didn't tell him what I wrote in my diary. I knew we'd find them. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. I thrust my way through the crowd. Let's not invite her. You need to take a break. Show me where Boston is on the map.
Bill is nervous about the exam. You know I respect you. I'm really attached to my mother. I just flew back from Boston. I will need your help. Have you ever seen a baby pigeon? Accuracy is important in arithmetic. Just because someone is older than you, it doesn't mean that they know more than you. How many independent countries are there in the world? I'd rather go swimming.
Don't hold your rival cheap. We need one more chair. You know that your English is good when people stop complimenting you on how good your English is. Squirrelman's superpower is that he can turn into a squirrel. Tell me what you've got. I have quit smoking and drinking. Voting matters, I don't know how many times we have to learn this lesson. We'd like to talk to her. Ram wanted to know what Shane thought. Are these patriots forgotten?
Why are you so late? He's cute as a bug's ear. Do you have the remote? "Where's your cousin?" "He just left." I cannot but admire his courage. How come you didn't come to the party? The defense was pleased by the verdict. Have you run into this kind of problem before? Why didn't you just tell me that? They're a little tight.
I am not understanding what the author is trying to say. He bade her adieu forever. I have a job working for a bank. You're ugly, but I love you anyway. Jitendra has decided to get married. My choices are my own. Can I get you another one? Leave my car alone. Patrick hates to get his feet wet. How can I stop him?
Takayuki, you're such a big meanie. I like rice more than bread. All I want is your love. Some things that Joon told me aren't true. I'm not even surprised. Welcome to our 1st German class. Then I'll come again later. He never saw Marty again. Julius is remorseful. Lewis wasn't fooled for a second.
I need to go milk the cows. French isn't a difficult language. It's revolting. Why are you helping her? I never liked green peppers. Speak louder. Your grandfather's hearing is not what it used to be. Paola is going to help Ramiro. It's a very old book. Clearly, the rumor is not true. Jaime didn't get up as early as he usually does.
Shai opened the door and listened before he decided to walk in. I was ready to. He is a man of intellect. His story is partially true. He has terrible eye sight. The hotness of this tea is making my cup too hot to hold. Look up to me. Why didn't you want to go to Boston? Would you like to have it washed? I just wanted to tell you that I'm really sorry for what I said.
