Born in Michigan, he was raised on a farm, educated and taught at the Michigan Agricultural College and became Professor of Horticulture at Cornell University where he later became Dean and Director. He wrote scores of books, including scientific works, efforts to explain botany to laypeople, and a collection of poetry. He received numerous medals from national and foreign societies and was a member of domestic and foreign scientific, botanical, and horticultural societies. He was voted one of the three outstanding living horticulturists several years prior to his death. Amongst his works are The Horticulturists Rule Book (1890), Principles of Agriculture (1898), The Manual of Gardening (1910), The Apple-Tree (1922) and The Gardener's Handbook (1934 [more][Less]

The door opened. A gust of wind and rain literally swept five boys, wet and breathless, into the room. The man at the big oak table in front of a huge open fire looked up, smiled, and said, "Off with your duds, boys! Bar the door securely, Jay, for it's a wild night. Throw a fresh log on the fire, Albert. And all line up." [more][Less]

The door opened. A gust of wind and rain literally swept five boys, wet and breathless, into the room. The man at the big oak table in front of a huge open fire looked up, smiled, and said, "Off with your duds, boys! Bar the door securely, Jay, for it's a wild night. Throw a fresh log on the fire, Albert. And all line up." For a few moments the big cheerful room seemed full of wriggling, twisting boys as great coats were pulled off and hung up carefully on pegs at the far end of the room. It was a rule here at The Chief's home that things should always be shipshape. Then the "line up" came. This was a little ceremony the boys always went through, having dropped into it quite of their own accord. They formed a line in front of the open fire with backs to it and faces toward the man. Then they solemnly saluted in military style. At this The Chief arose, saluted, and by a wave of the hand assigned each boy to his place at the table. [more][Less]

Is Police Pat Down Search for Weapons Allowed Based on An Anonymous Phone Call ?
In Commonwealth v. Anderson, 481 Pa. 292, 392 A.2d 1298 (1978), the police received a telephone call from an anonymous caller who said there was a man who was an escapee from a drug rehabilitation program in a bar at a particular location. The caller described the man as an African-American male named "Perry" who was about 5'10" with a large "bush" hair style and wearing a dark coat. Id. at 293, 392 A.2d at 1299. In response, two police officers were dispatched to the bar. Once in the bar they saw Anderson who they believed matched the description of the person referred to in the telephone call. One of the police officers initiated conversation with Anderson and asked if he was carrying weapons. Before Anderson could respond, the other officer touched Anderson's jacket pocket and felt what he believed to be a gun. The object was taken from the pocket by one of the officers and it was revealed to be a .22 caliber handgun. Anderson was arrested, charged and convicted of a variety of offenses relating to possession of the firearm. Prior to his trial Anderson filed a motion to suppress the firearm as evidence, which was denied. The Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia denied his petition for a writ of certiorari and our Court affirmed his conviction. Id. at 294, 392 A.2d at 1299. On appeal, the Supreme Court reversed our Court, holding that the search of Anderson was improper under the circumstances and that consequently the evidence of the firearm should have been suppressed. In reversing, our Supreme Court had occasion to discuss the fundamental public policy considerations and constitutional interests which a court must consider and carefully weigh when determining if the actions of the police in detaining and frisking an individual were warranted: In striking the balance between the public interest and the individual's right to personal security free from arbitrary interference of law enforcement officials, the initial inquiry must focus upon the propriety of the initial restraint of appellant's freedom of movement.Adams v. Williams, [407 U.S. 143, 92 S. Ct. 1921, 32 L. Ed. 2d 612 (1977).] As noted by Mr. Justice Harlan in a concurring opinion in Terry, the right to "frisk" depends upon the reasonableness of a forcible stop to investigate a suspected crime. Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. at 33, 88 S. Ct. 1868.4 The reasonableness "of such seizures depends on a balance between the public interest and the individual's right to personal security free from arbitrary interference by law officers", United States v. Brignoni-Ponce, 422 U.S. [873] at 878, 95 S. Ct. [2574] at 2579, [45 L. Ed. 2d 607]. The Terry Court made it clear that such a balance cannot be struck where the police are acting upon information that would not warrant a man of reasonable caution in the belief that the action taken was appropriate. Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. at 21-22, 88 S. Ct. 1868.

We're reaching out to our supporters at this time to help us recover from the financial loss we sustained as a result of a devastating natural disaster.
A few days ago, in the middle of the night, we experienced major flooding at our New Zealand vegan educational center, caused by the biggest storm to hit our part of the country in over 20 years. After days of rain, with the river already up and the land saturated, a torrential downpour at four in the morning led to a flash flood that caused severe damage.
Thankfully, and most significantly, everyone is safe, and no one was hurt. Our losses, however, are considerable.
Two caravans were picked up by the river and wrecked downstream. Recently purchased building materials that were just about to be put to use were tossed about and broken, farm equipment held in a storage caravan was hurled downstream, a flourishing garden completely leveled, and our water supply sustained the worst flood damage ever.
The weather has now cleared and the river is close to normal levels, but the clean-up we are facing is enormous. The storm came in the middle of several important projects that are now on hold as we turn our attention to the most urgently pressing issues: restoring our water supply, repairing damage to accommodations, clearing up debris and retrieving the demolished caravans, as we continue our vegan educational efforts.
Contributions of any amount will be most gratefully received, and all donations are tax-deductible.

Justice for BC Grizzlies
A citizens' movement to end the killing of Grizzly Bears in BC
Ambassador Grizzlies
Grizzly Information
AFTERWORD (much after)
Amber feeding on Sedge – right out of hibernation.
"Whether we know it or not, our lives are acts of imagination and the world is continually re-imagined through us"
~ Michael Meade ~
I launched this website in June 2016 to bring public attention and grassroots support toward ending the trophy killing of grizzly bears in the province of British Columbia, Canada. It was the year before a provincial election and the BC New Democratic Party (BC NDP) seemed open to banning this atrocious sport killing. A coalition of BC conservation groups worked tirelessly to reason with the NDP, through ethics, common sense, economics and science, that ending the trophy killing of grizzlies was the right thing to do. The NDP vowed to do just that, if elected to government at the 2017 election.
In May 2017 the NDP was elected and made good on their campaign promise – sort of – – BUT – only ending all grizzly killing in the area of the *Great Bear Rainforest, while allowing grizzlies to be killed "for food" everywhere else in the province. Killing BC grizzlies was now termed a "sustenance hunt", though it was, and still is, widely accepted that people do not legitimately hunt grizzly bears for food. This was a loophole. Under this policy, hunters could kill a grizzly bear, take a picture for bragging rights, but could not remove the bears' body parts of head, paws or hide for trophy. Much confusion ensued over how such a policy could be implemented and enforced. It proved to be such a logistical nightmare that finally, in December 2017, all killing of grizzly bears was banned throughout the entire province of British Columbia. The rationale for the ban was that grizzly killing had become socially unacceptable to the majority of British Columbians and that viewing grizzlies offered more economic and employment rewards than any compensations gained from killing grizzlies. First Nations were still able to harvest grizzly bears pursuant to Aboriginal rights for food, social, or ceremonial purposes, or treaty rights. While this was true, Grizzly bears themselves, as sovereign beings, were not part of the conversation; nor was the excellent science brought forward by people and organizations with first-hand knowledge of grizzly bears as sentient individuals with unique personality traits.
In military language, the battle to end the trophy killing of grizzlies was won; but battles like this are never over. They always hinge on funding, lobbying, and politics of the time; ever in jeopardy of forfeit when the "other side" musters their forces to reclaim a position of power. All other-than-human beings, and humans alike, fall prey to this dominator strategizing.
It's exhausting, this old story of a human-centric, competitive, insatiable drive for control over everything and every-body. The old worldview of separation no longer explains how the world really is – interconnected, intrinsically related, rich in belonging. We have a choice.
The Re-imagining
Imagine a relationship of abundance shared with other species.
We grew up together.
Imagine that all earth inhabitants have value in their own right.
What are you here to teach me and I to learn from you?
Imagine a language of companionship with other species.
How can I help you live your fullest life?
Imagine a world that is re-imagined through us, every day.
. . . to be cont.

The view from Ireland when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon
On this day, July 20, in 1969, Neil Armstrong took "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Ireland watched from afar with bated breath.
@niallodowd

As Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, a 16-year-old Niall O'Dowd was among the thousands of Irish who held their breaths.
I was 16 years old in the summer of 1969, working my first summer job in an electrical plant about ten miles from my hometown of Drogheda, on Ireland's east coast.
How St Patrick's Day has been celebrated on the International Space Station
The night and morning of the moon landing are impressed on my brain forever. Like 9/11 and the Kennedy assassination, I can recall July 20, 1969, as vividly as yesterday.
My family had gathered around our black and white television set to await the great moment.
RTÉ, the Irish television channel, was the only station we had and things were still pretty primitive.
A presenter called Kevin O'Kelly was the only host. He sat there literally for hours, trying to fill in the waiting as we awaited word on when Neil Armstrong, who had piloted Eagle the craft that had landed on the moon just after 9:00 pm our time, would open the hatch and step onto earth's closest neighbor.

There was no panel of experts, no animation, or simulation. All O'Kelly had was a (very) rough replica of the lunar module and he kept telling us we would get live pictures when the Eagle hatch was opened.
Several of my siblings fell asleep as I did myself. I can only remember one other occasion staying up as a family, which was the Muhammad Ali/Sonny Liston fight some years before.
We were awoken by a shout from our Dad soon after 3 am.
Kevin O'Kelly had just pronounced that "the hatch was open" and we were about to witness history.
Except that we could see very little. There was a very blurry image of a man descending a few steps onto lunar soil and then the immortal words -- "one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." etc.
It was arguably America's greatest moment.
It was history as we had never known it or never will again, Man had reached past his earthly existence and stepped on another world. I rushed outside to look at the moon and imagined all the billions of people who had looked up at earth's closest neighbor and how tonight was different. The man in the moon, actually the two men on the moon as Buzz Aldrin joined Armstrong, had become fact not a children's fairy tale.
I went back to bed but not to sleep. My boyhood mind was fired by the images and voices I had just seen. I knew the world would never be the same again. It was a turning point in history. I hope today's young people see the day when a man like Armstrong lands on Mars --- that only seems a matter of time too.
So thank you, Neil Armstrong a brave hero if ever there was one. Thank you for what you gave us -- a moment of history that stopped the world as we knew it and made sure it would never be the same again.

Smartphones are often considered an urban survival tool and not necessarily something on the must-have list for backpackers and campers. For many, leaving the phone behind is one of the great joys of getting out into the wilderness. Some app developers seem to disagree, though, and the overwhelming number of survival apps on the market proves it.
To save you the trouble of wading through the vast collection of guides, references, mapping apps and other nifty hi-tech backpacking tools, a few of the Canadian Geographic interns headed out into the wilds of Ottawa's Britannia Bay Park to figure out which apps will keep you alive and which will just kill your battery. If you're the type of outdoor enthusiast who has a backpack-mounted solar panel for phone charging, this list is for you.
iBird Pro has a database of 938 birds, with photos, illustrations, maps and even bird calls.
Coming from the well-respected National Audubon Society, this guide is one of several Audubon nature field guides.
The group locates a geocache site.
Geocaching was first popularized with the widespread adoption of handheld GPS devices. Smartphones have further expanded the market for high-tech wilderness fun.
This app features illustrations of knots for survival, camping, fishing and more.
This knot guide breaks down knot-tying into several steps to make them easier to follow than drawn knot guides.
Parks Canada developed this app to help urban dwellers break into the wilderness and enjoy some of our national parks. It has basic information for novice campers, such as packing lists and recipes, intended to make camping less intimidating.
The Army Survival Guide teaches how to build a basic survival kit.
This app brings the survival guide developed by the US Army to your smartphone, and includes information such as how to gather food, build shelters and navigate in all types of environments.
ICE provides your medical information to hospital workers or first responders if you are unconscious.
The Red Cross's first aid app provides instructions on how to care for victims of most common mishaps. It also directly links with 9-1-1 and has safety tips to keep users out of trouble to begin with.
This app tracks the phase of the moon between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m., and even allows you to see the dark side of the moon.
This app tracks the movement of the sun, moon and other celestial bodies, including sunrises, sunsets and solar eclipses.

Guys i need help from you , I recently sold my Nikon D750 and now I am thinking to upgrade to D810 , and the price i am getting it in is 1100$ , thing is i find some good used cameras on Ebay in reasonable price, so i ask my wife to purchase it for me, but i don't know if she can mail it to Pakistan ? does anyone know my wife can mail a Dslr camera through Fedex or DHL like service ? if yes what would be custom duty or tax ?

Custom duty would be higher if i am not wrong but i have heard horrible stuff about our customs staff like they keep your products and will demand money to release it etc. That's the thing that scares me most i hope i am wrong and these are very rare incidents. Btw if you're in Lahore why not try Hafiz centre for this kind of stuff?
Karachi mai hun yaar , Nikon D810 new mil rahe hai all are almost 240,000 pkr .. used lena hai mujhe puri sadar market ghoom li ek d810 nai mila .
according Pakistan custom tariff 2018-2019 ..
does this CD % is tax ? meaning 1100$ worth camera , i have to pay 121$ tax ? is that right ?
Need a full frame camera for professional work ..
But if you import it and add taxes and duties to baat wohi pohnch jaegi ni? Upar se damage hone ka khatra.
Dear you may want to reconsider due to taxes and duties, also people calculating and imposing duties, taxes on imported items usually over tax them. If possible buy from Pakistan or ask a visiting family member or friend to bring your camera with them.
No idea bro online check kya but price is pretty much same.
Used hai yaar .. us pe lage ga ?
The box will definitely get there in one piece.
Not sure about the camera in it.
How Can We Trust Pakistan?
Can we have planes like these in Pakistan?

William E. Tewes' Interview (September 2013)
K-25 Plant
Nash Garage Building
In July 1945 William E. Tewes was transferred from New York, where he was working on gaseous diffusion, to Oak Ridge. He worked on the leak testing operation at K-25. He discusses the many scientific and engineering innovations of the K-25 Plant, raising a family in Oak Ridge, and the friends he made among his fellow Manhattan Project workers.
Cindy Kelly: This is Cindy Kelly. It is September 6, 2013. I am in Oak Ridge, Tennessee with Bill Tewes. So Bill, can you tell us your name and spell it?
Tewes: Sure. My name is William Edward Tewes. And the first and second names are obvious, but to spell my last name, it is T-E-W-E-S. My father and my children all pronounce it "Tewes." The rest of my older family, including my grandparents, pronounced it "Teweys." And my Uncle Elmer would remark, "Any fool should know it's pronounced Teweys because there are two E's in the name."
Kelly: That's great.
Tewes: I would like to start with my grandparents.
My grandparents had a famous member. That's Colonel William A. Tewes, who served in World War I in the infantry. He was called to active duty from the – I believe it's the First Lieutenant in the New Jersey National Guard. And the reason I want to get to World War I is, that World War I ended in an armistice. It did not end in a victory for the Allies. They were able to place a lot of very restrictive rules on the Germans, but there was no means of enforcement. So Germany was essentially free to rearm as long as they did a few things like keep their battleships below a certain size. But they very cleverly made sure that the guns were outgunning the British fleet.
And the reason I mention this is that when World War II started, this country was greatly divided. There was a very strong isolationist movement. And words that were said over and over again were, "We do not want to send our boys to fight another European war." Although we cheered for the Allies and President Roosevelt managed to get a certain amount of material to them, like the fifteen destroyers on the Lend-Lease Program. We stayed out of that war, and we were completely surprised when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.
I can remember those days very, very specifically. I was in my sophomore year at Upsala College in East Orange, New Jersey. They were a small school. They gave me a good scholarship and the second year, they added to it, so I was able to live on campus. But the really good schools in the New York area all had a clause that you could not do any outside work. So that was about the best I could do.
[On December 7, 1941] I remember pulling off the road and listening to the radio, and you know, just stunned. And when I got to campus, everyone was sitting around talking. No one had any idea that we might be attacked. I guess around dinnertime, the announcement was made that President Roosevelt would address the nation. And this was one of these dates that you remember, December 8. I think it was around noon. I know I was sitting at a small table in the student union, and I remember that I was sitting there with Arnie Larson and Bill Lausinger, and Seth Artson.
And when President Roosevelt went down the aisle in the Congress, everybody cheered. And one of his staff remarked later that usually it was only the Democrats who cheered. So we were essentially united, before he said a word. But his speech, "The date that will live in infamy," was one of the greatest speeches of all times. And it took Congress, I believe I read somewhere, 111 minutes to declare that a state of war existed between the United States of America and the Empire of Japan.
I know afterwards we broke up. And a few people enlisted the next day, but not very many. The Army wasn't anxious to have a big enlistment because they really weren't prepared for it. Personally, I had no idea of enlisting at that time. The draft was functioning at the start of the war. And there was a path where one could enlist in the Army or the United States Reserves and complete their college year.
Jed Hall and I decided, that would have been the fall of, I think maybe November of '42, to enlist, because we decided the worst thing that could happen to you is for you get halfway through, and then at the end of the war you'd maybe have a long time to wait before you could go back. And they guaranteed us we would get through that year. And I guess I was called to active duty in – sometime in late June of '43, when the induction was at Fort Dix, New Jersey. And after a few days I shipped to an infantry training center at Fort McClellan, Alabama.
Now, one of the tremendously significant effects of World War II was the fact that people learned to move all around the country. Before World War II, I had probably gone, oh, 100 miles in each direction from Orange, New Jersey. You can go 100 miles east, but you have to go sort of a bit north. The thing that impressed me the most – you know, Fort McClellan was an Army town. After six weeks you got to go into Anniston, Alabama. And Jed and I just lucked into the fact that there was the Dixie Fireproof Hotel there. I think it was about six stories high. And all the locals were finishing Sunday dinner, but we had no trouble getting a table. That was my introduction to Southern cooking. My mother used to make candied sweet potatoes that were terrific. But this casserole dish that they made was out of this world. I also learned that no matter what you asked, you could not get rare meat in the south.
We went through the typical infantry basic, eleven or thirteen weeks. And essentially what they were trying to do was to teach you to kill people, and to do it without any question. The second thing you learned to do was to get you to obey orders without question. This meant if they told you to walk off the edge of a cliff, that you would do so. Because you would count on them having some way to catch you as you went down.
There are also a number of people who had a lot of difficulty with the thought of killing, even an enemy man. And the Army had a solution for that. They became Medics. As far as I'm concerned, they were the bravest people in the Army. When everybody was hunkered down, somebody yelled for a Medic. He went from being hunkered down and ran to help them.
After basic training, I spent about four days where my instructions were to just keep out of sight. "You can come back to the training company," which now had different crews in it from mess. At that time we were shipped out, had no idea where we were going.
One thing about trains at that time, there was no such thing as air conditioning. Summer was hot and we'd strip down to our shorts, and we first experienced it going from Fort Dix to Fort McClellan. We had no idea what the experience of going through a tunnel was like. And when you got out the other side, you were gasping for breath. And you were black, and after a while you just didn't bother trying to clean up. And as I remember when we got to Fort McClellan, they just hosed us down [laughs], and put us in a truck and first thing we did was get a shower and new clothes.
On the second day of July, I guess it was in the early afternoon, that's July of '45, I received a phone call telling me to report immediately to headquarters. Not to bring anything with me. And I knew what that meant. That meant I was going to be shipped out. Because a lot of my friends had been shipped out already. I went over to headquarters, and I can't for the life of me remember where it was. I was up at the Nash Building at the time. And after a few minutes, I was admitted to see – I think he was Captain by then, Captain Hyde. And I saluted, told him I was reporting. And he immediately read these orders, which said that I was to report to a certain railroad station on the next day. And they gave me a train number, and that was all.
And then after receiving those orders, Captain Hyde wished me well. I have since learned that Captain Hyde – there's a famous picture of him. He was First Lieutenant at that time. And it shows him and a couple of civilians and Colonel [Kenneth] Nichols standing side by side. And from the way I read it, using a magnifier, he was receiving the Silver Star for previous action. I know that Colonel Nichols in his book mentions that there were a few officers that didn't need any technical skills, who had been in battle. That's a story you might look into, Cindy. It's one of Ed Westcott's.
My mother was very ill with cancer and was in a hospice in New York, and I said goodbye to her. That night I was living with my stepfather and my half-sister Beth, who was a lot younger than me. I took some time to pack and to procure a certain – converted maybe two-thirds of my money into liquid assets, which I knew were going to increase in value appreciably when I got to Dogpatch. We were generally aware of where the Oak Ridge facilities were. At SAM [Substitute Alloys Material Laboratory], it was universally known as "Dogpatch."
The next day I got on the train. There was a Pullman porter there, waiting out near the gate. When I told him that I believed he had my orders, he said, "Yes I do." He said, "If you would please take the things you will need to clean up in the morning, I will take care of your things."
I said, "I hope you will be very careful. There are some breakables in there."
He said, "Oh yes." He says, and he said, "One other thing." He said, "We do not accept tips from GIs." He said, "Please don't offer the people in food service a tip."
Well, it turned out that the trip down here was very, very much like Glenn Miller's Chattanooga Choo-Choo. We had dinner in the diner, nothing could be finer. And then we had country ham and eggs in Carolina. [Laughs] When I got in [to Oak Ridge], a couple other GIs were there and there was a bus, but Art Kelman and Larry O'Rourke met me. They had an old truck, GI truck. They discussed for a while whether I should sit in the back, but we managed to get all three of us plus my large bag with the valuables in it. And I arrived on the Fourth of July, and actually they had taken the day off.
There were very limited days off during the war. And one thing that most people don't realize is that during the war, everybody worked six days a week. That was a normal workday. We hung out here or there, went to the PX, and drank 3.2 beers. The Army had an attitude that they complied with local law. And with the beer, nobody was going to bootleg beer. And that was one of the first recycling operations. They used to recycle the glass.
The next day, I was assigned to a leak testing operation. They still had parts of K-25—I think the construction was pretty well complete and a lot of it was online, but there was a lot of it that was not finished, so I ended up on shift. I went out to get some orientation and badges and stuff.
And I tell you, I was just amazed at the size of K-25. It just almost is inconceivable that they could build a plant like that. I spent I guess about a month leak testing. Work shifts, when I was on day shift or swing shift, I stayed in Barracks E where the group from Columbia, there were about a dozen of us I guess, were all located. The other shift couldn't stay there because the maids would be cleaning up. There were a couple of – oh, I think there were four or five, maybe more than that, hutments that were just general purpose. People didn't have their equipment there or anything. And we would sleep there.
I am mentioning that specifically because there's a lot of talk about the treatment of blacks, and blacks certainly all lived in hutments and the way they used barbed wire to separate the men from the women wasn't admirable by any means. But the Army had a hard time keeping men and women separated among the whites, too, because a lot of them were married, but didn't have the kind of job that would get them a house. And [Laughs] usually it was the woman that would get caught in the men's dorm, just trying to have normal relations with their husband.
Essentially we finished leak testing and everybody went off for a job. I wanted to go back to development and had no problem in doing so.
On leak testing, the first thing that one would do when they had a new cell—six converters in a cell, which is the unit that can be segregated from the rest of the converters. And first thing they'd do is they'd pressure—using nitrogen, they'd first evacuate it, fill it with nitrogen to maybe about five pounds over the normal pressure, normal atmospheric pressure, and look for leaks. You use your ear first, and then you'd go around to likely places and you'd put some soapy water and see if you got bubbles. When you pretty well found all the big leaks, you would evacuate the unit, which was hooked up to a helium leak detector. This would detect only helium. It was essentially set up and you would squirt some helium on suspected spots.
If they were not leaking, nothing would happen. If they leaked, the gauge would go up. After a little argument, I was able to convince the fellow who was in charge of the area where I was working that we ought to just put some gunk on that and close it up. They had been just bringing it up to atmospheric pressure and having the welder fix it. But we did that for eight hours a day and it was mostly women doing it.
When I came down, I think it was more a matter of, they were shutting down SAM than it was that they needed me in Oak Ridge. I know Don Trauger stayed 'til the very end and I think he stayed almost to the end of '45, or something like that.
Kelly: Just because not everybody would know this, the equipment you were testing for leaks was new?
Tewes: Oh yes, it was state-of-the-art new pieces of equipment. I have had some people ask me and I can't remember whether we were using a GE or a Westinghouse leak detector. Apparently both outfits had made them. They were in use not only at K-25, but also at Y-12.
Kelly: So the leak detector itself was a new innovation?
Tewes: Yeah. It was made for the project. And it was a necessity. Either at K-25 or at Y-12, they needed to have a perfectly sealed vessel in each case. There's an awful lot that was made entirely for the project. Probably the most significant things were the Calutron at Y-12, and the gaseous diffusion barrier at K-25. Both of them are still classified. The general idea is used freely and I think the French have disclosed a lot more than we have
I really today don't know if people who have Q clearances know anything about the barrier. I made one effort back when we – oh, about five years ago to get a number of old people like me, who had worked at the plant, and discuss barrier. It got set up in a rather formal arrangement and it just didn't get all of the information. Maybe I'll take another crack at that.
At K-25, we used a series of porous membranes. They were in the form of tubes, and about half the gas would flow through the membrane and go down to the stage below. By the stage I mean, there were six of these sets of barriers. You pumped in each cell and there were a number of cells in each building. The word "building" was just for convenience. It was a group of cells that went from the front of the back of the plant. And there were several thousand of these units. Each would enrich a little bit, and that would go to the stage above. And they would take the stuff that had been depleted to the stage below. The general word for it was a cascade.
In the case of Y-12, Y-12 used an electromagnetic separation process. They would vaporize a form of uranium. It was a compound that would vaporize at a lower temperature than pure uranium would. And they would run it through a tremendously strong magnet, which would separate the U-235 from U-238. They had to do this twice in the Alpha building. It came up to maybe 15%, something like that, 20%. And then in the Beta buildings, it would get up to weapons grade, around 90%, something in that neighborhood. I don't know of anybody has come up with an official definition.
One has to be in awe of the engineering accomplishments at the three separation points. The third one was liquid diffusion. This came in later when—it's sort of a murky story about how Phil Abelson got the word to Colonel Groves that liquid diffusion could function to get a small increment of separation, and then their product could be sent to Y-12.
About the time they got this plant built, K-25 had enough cells on string that Colonel Nichols' brother-in-law had been assigned to develop a system for making the three plants work together. For the last several months before the bomb was dropped, they ran the thermal diffusion plant, S-50 was its code name, and took its product, K-25 and got further enrichment. And they took the enriched material then to Y-12. By the time the bomb was dropped, K-25 was functioning well enough that Colonel Nichols recommended that the Alpha buildings at Y-12 and the thermal diffusion plant be shut down, because they were both very inefficient compared to gaseous diffusion.
As it turned out, this was a wonderful thing for Oak Ridge, because it resulted in a lot of people being terminated. Since it was after the war, there was a tremendous number of women working in Oak Ridge. They normally would have been married. They mostly had high school graduates. They normally would have been married and perhaps had a child or two by the time the war was over. And they were very happy to leave as their men, in many cases husbands or boyfriends, were released by the Army. This meant that when we came to the end of '45, and it was recommended that the Beta buildings in Y-12 be shut down, a very sizeable portion of the Y-12 plant had been shut down so that the layoff weren't quite as difficult to take.
Well I guess I want to say something about dropping the bombs. Now, the people I knew, that included the SEDs, the civilians that I worked with, the civilians that I met, and we had no thought whatsoever that there would be any question about dropping the bomb. We were working on it because it was a means of bringing the war to an end. It was a military decision. You know, GIs or officers, they didn't question military decisions. The civilians didn't question military decisions. But out of Los Alamos we had two groups that did question military decisions. We had a group of refugees from Hitler. They were mostly Jewish, but this wasn't a Jewish thing by any means. They had worked diligently to make the bomb when it was thought that it might be used against Germany. There was a small group that were pretty leftist. And they ended up making – or circulating a paper and they got the group at the University of Chicago involved in it.
My personal feeling is, how could a refugee who had no feeling for Pearl Harbor at all, who had been motivated by his anti-Hitler concepts, conceive of what we did in our war with Japan? There were some petitions. They did not have a majority of the people at Chicago, who voted on this subject. The people I knew personally at Oak Ridge never questioned this. It was a military decision.
Since the war, we've had one group after another raise this question. They apparently all are comfortable in ignoring the number of Japanese lives that were saved by the bomb. Because if we had used conventional weapons, and the most vivid case was the firebombing of Tokyo, which killed as many people as were killed at Hiroshima or Nagasaki. And if we had continued a conventional war, and you read different dates, whether it was the first of October, the first of November, that that war probably would have resulted in a million American casualties and probably ten times that many Japanese.
We have a good basis for recognizing this. Iwo Jima was about as bloody a place as there was, and it wasn't just the fighting. The Japanese almost had a religion that said, "You cannot retain your honor if you don't fight to the death." That was certainly a factor in a lot of the Japanese war crimes, they had no use for Americans who had surrendered. It just wasn't done. So the carnage would have been horrible. I know there hasn't been a good estimate of how many people might have died. They vary all over the map. One thing you can say, though, is, it's a lot. It's a great, large number. I want to see if I can get somebody to do the work, because I don't do much anymore. But I would be very interested in how many Japanese were killed by bombs compared with—and that applies throughout the war.
The British brought the policy of essentially there were no noncombatants, that combatants, that people who worked on war plants, were also the enemy. You would have infamous bombings by both sides in Europe. We bombed the hell out of the Japanese conventionally. We had four, no, five Japanese cities that were not bombed because they were set aside as targets for the atomic bomb.
I want to reiterate the words that Secretary of War [Henry] Stimson used in making awards for the participants. There were 130,000 at least who worked on the atomic [bomb], developing and manufacturing the two atomic bombs that were used on Japan. He said that those of us who did that work to make the atomic bombs brought the war in the Pacific to a satisfactory conclusion, and all of us who did that are very proud of our work.
The people who worked here during the war didn't just pick up and go home. A lot of us stayed here. And one of the great things about working in Oak Ridge was, we had a tremendous number of really good-looking women working here. At Y-12, they devised the means of having women do just a few things. For instance, they might have a group of women who did routine chemical analysis. And Woman A would do a certain thing and pass it through to Woman B, who would do something else. And Woman X down the line would write out the results of the analysis. The Calutron operators became quite famous, who spent their eight hour day, six day a week shift just worrying about four or five dials and keeping them within the required range.
It was an exceedingly important thing because everybody was overworked. This country was dedicated. Whether you were in service, whether you were civilians, it didn't matter. We were dedicated to winning the war. And six million women moved to different sites to do war work. And it probably about 15,000 of them here in Oak Ridge, many of them on shifts. Shift workers sort of had a life of their own, and so I mentioned the women.
Now, I want to mention a specific group of men, the Special Engineer Detachment, 9812 Technical Service Unit. There were 1,247, or some number like that, of us working here at all of the plants and the Castle on the Hill [headquarters]. And a number of us stayed here after the war. And one of the great attractions that kept us here was the fact that we had all those beautiful women.
And I can speak personally of this because on Thanksgiving Day of 1945, I met Olive Littleton of Grayson, Kentucky. Grayson is about twenty-five miles from the West Virginia border. Go another ten miles and you're in Huntington, West Virginia. She gave me credit anyway for changing her first name to Audrey on our first date. I guess that we dated continuously until we got married. I know of so many of my friends—well for instance, you remember Bob and Evelyn Ellingson? Bob was from Iowa? Or no, Idaho. Evelyn was from Alabama. I was from New Jersey. Audrey was from, as she would call it, Kentucky hills country. It was very common. She continued working until the summer of '49. I can remember our neighbors from downstairs had come up on the day before Gates Opening Day.
Audrey was petite. When she got a wedding dress in that main [inaudible] in Knoxville,
I was told, keep my eye on the street. If I found out what that wedding dress was, the wedding was off. No restraints were put on my ears. I heard these two salesladies talking. And one of them said, "I am helping this lovely little girl select her wedding dress." [Laughs] She said, "You know she's 98 pounds and 5'3" and she's 31, 20, 32." [Laughs] The size. Well, I didn't reveal that for a little while [Laughs].
On that day in '49, we decided that we'd just go as far as we could and walk. And Phil and Myrtle Bursey were their names. They were older than us. And Phil and I were having a drink and talking. And all of a sudden Myrtle says, "Hey guys, plans have changed, we're going to take Audrey to the maternity ward." About 4:00 that Gates Opening Day, Dr. Dings came in and told me, "Bill, you've got a beautiful little girl."
And I was smiling. Dr. Dings said, "And Bill, you've got a second beautiful little girl," [Laughs] and you know, I was in heaven. I went up and eventually he said that someone would come get me, but I knew where the maternity ward was. I figured I'd waited long enough. They had sort of a pretty strong-willed nurse in charge and she told Audrey, she said, "Mrs. Tewes," she said, "Kiss your husband and we're going to get you to sleep until 11:00 tomorrow." [Laughs]
And Audrey, she said, "Nobody sleeps till 11:00 in a hospital!" But, she told me, "No," she said, "I'm going to drive you home."
I said, "Well first, I'd like to see my daughters." [Laughs] But she reminded me the buses were on strike and next day, you know Gates Opening Day was a very festive thing here. We had movie stars and politicians.
I learned at the time that the mother has the privilege of naming the child. At least Audrey made it very clear to me that I was welcome at the conception but [laughs] from then on I hadn't really done a damned thing. I had suggested Olivia Ann. And her response was, "Oat!" [Laughs] I had never thought of the initials. She had told me about Madeline and Lee before. And actually she did say that I might be privileged to make suggestions on the middle name. Amelia Ann was her sister.
We added two more girls, and you couldn't ask for a better place to raise children than Oak Ridge. At that time, the cemesto house area, we lived on Venus Road. Our first, Ellen was born there. And then we moved to our current house on East Forest, and had Rebecca there, rather late in life, which keeps you young.
Kelly: Well, that is a lovely story. I think that we should probably wrap up. We probably should end. Is there anything that you suppose I haven't covered in all of this that you want to say? Or shall we just sign off? You have some wonderful things you've contributed.
Tewes: Yes, I think there's one other thing I want to say. You're not down here on a fun trip. You're here because Bill Wilcox died. And I worked for Bill directly, or maybe with one person in between us, for probably about forty years, both at K-25 and at Y-12. I got to appreciate him more than most people have. I got to know him very well. And he's the closest to being – I'm having trouble coming up with the right word.
But Bill was interested in everything. He was a very effective person, and the city has lost a great deal. I have been going through a bad period, because it seems like about every month, before Bill it was Hal McCurdy. I've known Hal – well, when Audrey and I were courting, we mainly did things with SEDs, but Hal was one of the few I got to know early on from Y-12. And then about a month before that, Evelyn Ellingson. You know, Evelyn was certainly Audrey's most cherished friend.
And I became good friends with her and Bob many, many years ago. And before that, Viola Ergen. I don't know if you know Viola. Her husband Bill died much too young. And he was the one who came up with the China Syndrome idea, and who really got the attention of the need for increasing our knowledge on—oh, I can't think of the name of it. And Viola was a very good friend of Audrey's from Girl Scouts. Audrey had been chairman of the Girl Scouts for a number of years. There were over 900 of them.
So, this isn't a very good day for me, and I'm sure it isn't for you.

Q: What is the meaning of $\|a\|_p=\left(\sum _{i=1}^n \left|a_i(t)\right|{}^p\right){}^{\frac{1}{p}}$? What is the meaning of $\|a\|_p=\left(\sum _{i=1}^n \left|a_i(t)\right|{}^p\right){}^{\frac{1}{p}}$?
This formula is called out on the fifth page of An Improved Data Stream Summary: The Count-Min Sketch and its Applications (which can be found here). I'm implementing the Count-Min Sketch and can understand the basic concepts just fine, but some of the finer points are explained in terms of this equation and some other terminology that I'm unacquainted with.

A: This paper does not appear to use $L^p$ norms in any essential way--every one of the results references the $L^1$ norm explicitly.  The problem itself determines which norm to use.  In this case interest focuses on the cardinality of multisets.  A multiset is represented as a vector of counts of its elements, whence its cardinality happens to be the same as its $L^1$ norm.  Often results proven for one norm may hold without any change needed in the proof for a wide range of $p$ (typically $1 \le p \le \infty$).  The opportunity for greater generality at no cost will lead many papers like this to talk about $L^p$ norms.
$L^p$ norms come into their own in discussions of duality in Hilbert and Banach space theory.  Advanced, but introductory (it's not a contradiction!) books on analysis usually cover this material thoroughly.  For an introduction to some of the relationships among these norms, read about the Holder Inequality and the Minkowski Inequality.

A: $||a||$ denotes a specific function, called norm, defined on a vector space. It maps a $n$-dimensional element of a vector space into a non-negative real number. $||a||_p$ denotes a yet particular norm defined on the vector space. Let $V$ be a vector space. Any function $p:V\to R_+$, also denoted $p(v)\equiv ||v||$ such that

*

*$ p $ is finite and convex

*$ p(x)=0 \implies x=0 $

*$ \forall \alpha_{}\in R, \forall x\in V, p(\alpha_{}x)=|\alpha_{}|p(x) $

is called a norm in $V$ and $(V,p)\equiv (V,||\cdot||$ is then called a normed space. You can check that your function satisfies all these properties. In your example, also, $V$ is a space of functions, that is $a_i:T\to T'$. That is a generalization of the Euclidean space (with Euclidean norm) that you may be familiar with, which is just a particular case of normed space where the underlying set is the (n-dimensional)  real numbers and the norm is the called Euclidean norm, a particular case of the function that appears in your question.
For instance, the euclidean plane is a normed space such that $V=R^2$, $x=(x_1,x_2)\in R^2$, and define the norm on $R^2$ as $p(x)=||x||_2=||x||=\sqrt{(x_1+x_2)^2}=(\sum_{i=1}^2x_i^2)^{1/2}$. So it is just a plane and the norm gives the "magnitude" of the vector. Note that it is just a special case of the norm you mentioned such that $n=2, p=2, a_i(x)=x_i$, and you don't need the absolute value operator because it is a sum of squared terms.
Those topics are covered either in Real Analysis or Linear Algebra (in a more restricted way) textbooks under the rubric of norms or normed spaces.

A: It's the $L^p$ norm.  See for example the Wikipedia articles:

*

*$L^p$ space

*Minkowski distance
If you use $p = 2$, you'll find it resolves to the more familiar Euclidean norm -- i.e. the most familiar measure used as length of the vector $a$.  Other values of p give others ways of measuring length as outlined in the article -- see the sections on Euclidean norm, Taxicab norm, etc.

Verizon Delays Possible Acquisitions of WIND Mobile, Mobilicity [u]
by Gary Ng – Wed, August 14, 2013
According to a report by the Globe and Mail, Verizon has delayed its acquisitions of WIND Mobile and Mobilicity, which appears to put its entry into Canada in jeopardy despite Ottawa pursuing the company as a possible national fourth wireless carrier.
After tabling a $700-million preliminary offer for Wind and signing a non-disclosure agreement with Mobilicity in recent months, Verizon has now decided to delay pursuing those deals until after a government auction of wireless licences in January, said two people familiar with the situation.
The company will now shift gears to decide whether it will participate in the upcoming 700 MHz spectrum auction. If Verizon is able to enter bidding and win spectrum it desires, then sources say it will consider bidding for WIND and Mobilicity possibly in the next year.
This delay will allow Verizon more time to contemplate entering the Canadian wireless market as the auction isn't set to begin until January 14, 2014. The deadline for carriers to apply and place a deposit for the auction is September 17. Once prospective spectrum bidders apply and paperwork submitted, they are banned from negotiating deals with other players until 2014.
The Globe report says there is no clear reason why Verizon has changed its strategy, with speculation this could be an attempt to drive down prices of WIND/Mobilicity, seek more concessions from Ottawa or saving cash for the spectrum auction.
Earlier today it was revealed Verizon official met with Federal Government officials in May, prior to the US carrier making its potential bid for WIND Mobile.
By delaying its acquisition of these two wireless entrants, Verizon's new timeline means it will have to wait until the 700 MHz auction has finalized and paid for by players before it can pursue the startups again, to prevent breaking anti-collusion auction rules.
By next spring, both WIND and Mobilicity would no longer be banned from selling its spectrum to incumbents, so the possibility of TELUS again trying to acquire Mobilicity would be possible.
Despite Industry Minister James Moore calling the ongoing Big Three PR campaign as "dishonest" lobbying, incumbents have refused to cease spreading their message. Rogers told Reuters the advertising will not stop and will continue:
"We think this is an important issue for Canadians. We'll continue to work to make sure they understand the consequences of current government rules, which give an unfair advantage to large foreign players," Rogers spokeswoman Terrie Tweddle said.
If you were eagerly awaiting the arrival of Verizon in Canada, looks like you'll be waiting a lot longer now, that is if they still are coming.

All Americans enjoy the protections afforded them by the United States Constitution. As a practical matter, a vehicle for the private enforcement of those civil rights is provided by 42 U.S.C. section 1983 (commonly referred to as "Section 1983"), a statute which traces its origins back to Congress' response to abuses suffered by African-Americans at the hands of state and local government officials in the post-Civil War South. Section 1983 does not expand citizens' substantive rights, but rather serves as the mechanism under which individuals may bring a private, civil cause of action for violations of their constitutionally protected rights (separate and apart from any rights they have in the criminal context). This article will discuss some of the most common examples of Section 1983 lawsuits and defenses, but first I will lay out some of the general guidelines.
"State Action" and "Color of Law" Are Required
Citizens often operate under the mis-perception that private actors (for example, one's employer or neighbor) can violate their constitutional rights. Not so. With very limited exceptions, private actors cannot commit constitutional violations, and thus are not amenable to suit under Section 1983. Only "state actors" who are "acting under color of law" may be sued under Section 1983. "State actors" are generally government officials and employees, and the term should not be interpreted literally: municipal employees are likewise state actors for purposes of Section 1983. Thus, a police officer can be sued for excessive force in violation of a citizen's constitutional rights, while (except in very limited circumstances) the bouncer at a tavern may not.
As for "color of law," the analysis is analogous — although not identical — to the more familiar "scope of employment" issue. The Supreme Court has defined action taken "under color of law" as the "[m]isuse of power, possessed by virtue of state law and made possible only because the wrongdoer is clothed with the authority of state law."1 Consequently the excessive force analogy, a police officer in uniform and on duty who commits excessive force in the course of an arrest is acting "under color of law". Yet that same officer would not be amenable to suit under Section 1983(except in very limited circumstances)if he were involved in an off-duty, purely-personal altercation with an acquaintance.
Joinder With Other Civil Claims
Section 1983 claims may be brought in either federal or state court, in conjunction with other claims such as state law counts for battery or false imprisonment. In fact, the caselaw on the subject of "claim splitting" generally dictates that Section 1983 claims are essentially barred if not brought when related claims are filed. In light of this pitfall, and in an abundance of caution, it is almost always advisable to bring all state and federal claims at the same time.
A common trap for the unwary is that an action brought solely under the Illinois Administrative Review Law will generally be deemed to waive any related Section 1983 claim that is then available (e.g.) for discriminatory enforcement of a zoning enforcement or discharge of a police officer in retaliation for First Amendment protected speech. Therefore unless a Section 1983 claim is brought in conjunction with the administrative review claim, it will be barred.
Advantages to Section 1983 Litigation
Section 1983 entitles the plaintiff to bring a suit in a federal forum, where justice for a plaintiff is more likely to be swift, less political, and more consistent than it is in state court. Federal judges are generally superb and, for the most part, properly receptive to claims for violations of constitutional rights. Given the reality is that far more of these claims are filed in federal court, these Judges tend to be more familiar with the governing law than state court judges. The irony in the foregoing is that even in the rare cases where plaintiffs file Section 1983 claims in state court, defendants nearly always immediately remove them to federal court. In any event, the practical result is that most Section 1983 litigation occurs in federal court.
A more obvious advantage to Section 1983 litigation is the statute's fee-shifting provision: under 42 U.S.C. section 1988, parties who prevail under Section 1983 are entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees, a factor which helps raise settlement values substantially for the clients because the defendants must always remain cognizant of the statutory obligation to pay their opponents' fees if they lose. Most importantly, however, this also permits plaintiff's attorneys to pursue cases which would otherwise not be cost-effective, exactly what Congress intended in creating this incentive. Without fee shifting, somebody with a "smaller" civil rights claim would find it next to impossible to vindicate their rights as it would be cost-prohibitive for any attorney to litigate on a strictly contingent basis.
Finally, another obvious advantage is that Section 1983 claims have longer statutes of limitations than comparable state law claims. Section 1983 claims "borrow" the limitations periods from state law personal injury claims, which in Illinois is two years from the date the injury accrued.2 The Illinois Tort Immunity Act generally imposes a one year limitations period on claims against municipalities and their agents, so it might turn out that Section 1983 will be the only vehicle available if more than a year (but less than two years have elapsed since the date the cause of action arose).
Types of Section 1983 Claims:
Typically the most common Section 1983 claims are those regarding excessive force, which are brought under the Fourth Amendment's prohibition against unreasonable seizures. For all practical purposes, such claims are directly analogous to state law battery claims; the same conduct that satisfies the elements of one will typically satisfy the other.
Other common examples of Section 1983 claims with direct state law counterparts include false arrest and unreasonable searches of one's person, home or vehicle. The Fourth Amendment protects citizens against unreasonable seizures, and the case law recognizes false arrest and unjustified searches as an actionable constitutional violation.
Death Cases
Fatal police shootings can give rise to a state law wrongful death action, as well as a Section 1983 excessive force claim. In addition to the benefits mentioned above (fee shifting and extended statute of limitations), advantages to the Section 1983 route are the ability to seek both punitive damages, which are usually unavailable under the Wrongful Death Act, and damages for the abstract value of the life that was lost, which are not available under the the Act.3 That said, there are advantages to bringing both federal and state law claims together, as the latter provides, for example, a clear avenue for relatives to bring a loss of consortium claim.
With reference to government employees, there is a First Amendment right to speak out on matters of public concern. The most common examples of this sort of claim are whistleblowers who experience retaliation.
Not all speech is protected, however. The speech must be about a matter of "public concern," which generally means a matter of public importance, and the concept is juxtaposed analytically against "purely personal grievances." Thus, an employee who was fired for reporting the dumping of toxic chemicals at a government site would have a quintessential First Amendment claim, whereas an employee who was demoted for complaining about an unfair work schedule would not meet the "public concern" test.
The case law is clear, however, that "public concern" can be local. As the Seventh Circuit has explained, it does not matter that the statement at issue was not of "transcendent importance" or consider "the origins of the universe or the merits of a constitutional monarchy."4 So long as it is of public importance to the relevant community in which it takes place, that is sufficient. Remember, however, the First Amendment (as with all of the others) only protects against abuses by state actors, not private employers.
Though First Amendment claims resemble those for state law retaliatory discharge, there are several advantages (in addition to those mentioned above, such as fee-shifting and the longer statute of limitations) for proceeding under Section 1983. Initially, unlike state law retaliatory discharge claims, First Amendment Section 1983 plaintiffs need not have been actually terminated. While Illinois courts are expressly unwilling to "expand" the tort of retaliatory discharge to apply to cases where there was not an actual termination,5 First Amendment claims can be brought for retaliatory adverse employment actions (e.g.), demotions, or even retaliatory harassment that would be too "petty" to support a retaliatory discharge claim.6 Furthermore, unlike the state law claim where the Tort Immunity Act precludes lawsuits against the individual (as opposed to the organization itself) who retaliated,7 First Amendment claims can be brought against the malfeasants in their individual capacities, which has the added benefit of therefore permitting recovery of punitive damages.
Equal Protection Claims
Equal Protection claims can be brought where the government treats one class of people differently than another class of people. While most often thought of as discrimination against minorities (such as racial profiling in traffic stops), the courts also recognizes "class of one" claims.8 To allege that type of claim, a plaintiff can show that a powerful governmental actor (e.g., a vindictive mayor) has singled out a victim for irrational differential treatment (e.g., unfair denial of a business license).
Denial of Medical Attention
A constitutional claim can also be stated for "deliberate indifference" to a "serious medical need" for a detainee in custody. The need for medical attention must be genuine and objectively serious, and deliberate indifference cannot be shown absent actual knowledge of a problem on the part of the state actor.9 Courts tend to be serious about enforcing these hurdles, particularly against prisoners.
State Created Danger
Under DeShaney,10 state actors can be liable where the government actually created the danger which befell an individual. As the Seventh Circuit has explained, "liability exists when the state affirmatively places a particular individual in a position of danger the individual would not have otherwise faced."11 An example of this cause of action would be when a police officer arrests an obviously-intoxicated person late at night and drives them against their will to the town limits, and later the person is hit by a car and critically injured while walking home along a busy, unlit highway. In such a case, the "danger" (having to walk down miles of unlit highway to get home) did not exist until the police officer arrested the individual and placed him in that position, and therefore can be said to be "State created".
On the cutting edge, beginning in 2001, the Seventh Circuit recognized what have come to be known as Newsome claims for individuals wrongfully convicted through misconduct on the part of the police.12 Though the contours of this type of claim are still evolving with every new Seventh Circuit opinion, the gist is that criminal defendants have a right under the due process clause to be free from the fabrication of inculpatory evidence and withholding of exculpatory evidence by law enforcement officers. One way to consider these claims is to think of them as a cause of action alleging the violation of a criminal defendant's Brady rights.13
Until recently, the Seventh Circuit had recognized Section 1983 equivalents to malicious prosecution. In Newsome, however, the Seventh Circuit expressly repudiated such claims. Thus, if one intends to plead a Section 1983 wrongful conviction claim, it must now be stated in terms of substantive due process as described above, and not in terms of traditional malicious prosecution. Plaintiffs obviously remain free, however, to plead both Newsome and state law malicious prosecution claims simultaneously, which is undoubtedly the optimal route.
Monell Claims
Under the Supreme Court's decision in Monell,14 civil rights plaintiffs can bring suit against municipal entities where their "policies and practices" proximately cause constitutional injuries. By definition, these Monell claims are not based on respondeat superior; rather, they are brought against the governmental entity for injuries caused directly by the entity itself.
While such claims do not necessarily increase the damages available to the plaintiff, they are nonetheless important for their role in curtailing civil rights abuses. Because almost all successful Section 1983 claims against state actors result in settlements or judgments, Monell allegations permit litigants to address, and therefore correct, civil rights violations that are the result of the governmental entity's policies and practices. Congress reasoned that where a governmental entity is forced to defend (and therefore face) unconstitutional policies and practices in open court, changes tend to be made.
Monell claims tend to take several forms. First, a City can be liable for an express policy. The classic example is Garner,15 where the City of Memphis had an express policy permitting its officers to fire their guns at persons fleeing from the police regardless of the threat posed by such individuals. Because that policy could mean the death penalty for non-violent individuals who posed no threat to the officers or others, it was declared unconstitutional.16
Additionally, municipalities can also be liable for failure to train their employees. This claim was first elucidated by the Supreme Court in Harris,17 which held that the provision of inadequate training to police officers can constitute a basis for suit against a municipality when it demonstrates the municipality's deliberate indifference to the rights of individuals its officers come into contact with. Such deliberate indifference is commonly demonstrated in two ways. First, a municipality is deemed to have exhibited deliberate indifference by its failure to train its employees to handle recurring situations that presents an obvious potential for a constitutional violation where such failure to train results in a constitutional violation. Additionally, a plaintiff may succeed on a failure to train when he or she demonstrates that a municipality has failed to provide further training after learning of a pattern of constitutional violations by its officers.
Finally, Monell claims can be stated for a "widespread practice that, although not authorized by written law or express municipal policy, is so permanent and well settled as to constitute a custom or usage with the force of law."18 For example, district courts in the Northern District of Illinois have recognized practice claims for the failure to discipline and/or punish police officers for the use of excessive force such that the city itself thereby implicitly encourages said abuses. In other words, municipalities can be sued non-derivatively for their own role in turning a blind eye to abuses. In Robinson,19 for instance, the jury found liability against the City based on the total and complete failure to implement a working internal affairs department to monitor police abuses.20
Section 1983 Defenses: Qualified Immunity
The primary Section 1983 defense is known as "qualified immunity." Put simply, state actors are only liable for violations of constitutional rights where those rights are "clearly established."21 Moreover, qualified immunity is designed to be resolved by the Court before trial so that state actors are not forced to unnecessarily undergo the burden and expense of defending themselves unless necessary.
The way to defeat a claim of qualified immunity is to find prior cases where the constitutional right alleged was recognized. For qualified immunity purposes, courts operate under the fiction that police officers and other Section 1983 defendants read the reported caselaw. If there is a reported decision in your jurisdiction recognizing the right at issue, then defendants will lose. If there is no such decision, then the defense prevails, even if the court finds a violation of constitutional rights in your case. In short, if the defendants were not on sufficient notice via the caselaw that their alleged misconduct was unconstitutional, they are immune from damages. Unlike the usual presumption, therefore, in this context older cases are actually more valuable than newer ones.
Section 1983 litigation offers distinct benefits for both clients and their counsel. Indeed, Lawyers who try to litigate civil rights abuses based solely on state law causes of action are foregoing serious advantages readily at their disposal.

How do you teach your children about love?
This is great…I'll be sharing this with a homeschool mom friend.
The world has so many confusing definitions. It's challenging for parents, that's for sure!
What a wonderful idea for a Scripture Memory book!
This is great for kids! Nicely done!
This is simple and fun. I can imagine sitting around the table and doing this with a range of young children. For those who don't homeschool, it would be a great after-school activity as well.
This is so awesome! I can't wait to do these kind of projects with our kids!
Wonderful activities to teach children about love. We created opportunities for our children to show love. After a few times, they embraced the importance and began finding ways themselves.
How wonderful that your kids have taken the initiative to show love to others!
What a fun creative thought!! It's wonderful when you can mix creative play with learning important lessons! Thanks for the great idea!
This is a GREAT Plan. I think my two year old would love this.

Oh, wait, this is an English pub. Not an Australian one.
Our high school secrets and mysteries soap opera is now Orange Is The New Black.
Damn transgender lesbians ruining everything.
At least none of PLL's are black. Phew.
TL;DR Hanna gets arrested as an accomplice in Mona's murder; Alison considers but rejects a plea bargain; Spencer hooks up with another random dude; Aria and Ezra kind of break up; Emily does all the leg work.
Sadly, not while dancing.
Here are the plots. Don't get too excited:
Hanna's jaunt to the storage facility unravels everything, leading Roma to suspect she was Alison's accomplice, and Hanna having to admit what's going on to Ashley. Roma also acquires Mona's death shirt with Hanna's blood on it (thanks, A), and Hanna is arrested. Caleb encourages her to come clean to Roma about A, but A remote deletes all their phone correspondence. Uh oh.
Emily leaves these other bitches in her plot-relevant dust. She suggests talking to Mona's lawyer, which Ezra helps her out with. It turns out he was paid by the elusive Varjak to merely pretend to be Mona's lawyer. A bit of stalking leads Emily to maybe finding a phone number for Varjak.
Aria tags along on the mission and is awkward around Ezra. They eventually have a talk, and decide to break up (but they both want each other to still be in their lives blah blah blah).
Spencer stays on in London for another interview Veronica has set up, and bonds with Melissa. But then she finds out the second interview was a ruse to keep her away from Rosewood, because the DA was trying to make Alison take a plea deal wherein she would be forced to name an accomplice in Mona's murder, and Veronica was worried it'd be Spencer. She also goes on a theatre date with the Roommate, and they kiss.
And Alison considers taking the plea deal, but when she sees Hanna has been arrested, she turns it down.
Isn't it a bit late to try to be a good friend?
I was actually on board with most of this episode. Yeah, the Aria/Ezra stuff is the old, poisonous chestnut that will never leave. And Spencer needs to put her libido away for a few episodes or something. But otherwise, I wasn't fussed.
Until the second last scene where we see Alison watching Hanna be led to her prison cell. Orange jumpsuit and all.
These girls are in fucking high school. God. Damn. This is ridiculous.
How the fuck are they going to squeeze two more seasons out of this?
That moment really illustrates just how far off the rails Pretty Little Liars has gone. Every other episode one of them is getting arrested for murder. Remember when things were easy, and all Hanna had to worry about was getting caught for shoplifting?
Ezra makes his glorious return to come stink things up again with his Aria relationship drama. I'd praise their conclusion this episode, but that little "We'll figure out a way to still be each other's bestie" shit gives me absolutely no hope that they're done.
Similarly, Spencer's two second fling with Roommate can fuck off. I hope that arbitrary turd of a subplot stays in London where it belongs. I would have advocated for Johnny staying around a bit longer if I'd known she'd just hop into another shallow, temporary romance with another shallow, temporary character.
The one thing Emily, Ezra, and Aria's spy mission truly yields them is a pizza receipt that has the delivery name of Varjak on it, and a contact number. They mention how, in the absence of A's correspondence, they could provide Varjak's number to the cops in hopes that Varjak could lead them to A. But no, Emily ends her part of the episode by sitting down to dial the number. Bitch, as soon as Varjak knows you have it, that number is going to be useless. Which means it will be no good to the police for verifying your A story. Fuck.
For the hardass bitch queen that Alison has otherwise been presented as for the entire series, all it takes for her to want to go with the plea deal is a minor beating in the laundry room. I thought, if nothing else, that Alison had more strength of will than that.
Alison doesn't know who Varjak is. Of course.
Roommate is basically Ezra 2.0.
It turns out the barrel from the storage unit was filled with acid and human remains, but they were too small and damaged to get a DNA sample. For fuck's sake.
When Caleb suggests Hanna just tell Roma everything about A, Hanna initially doesn't want to for fear of hanging the other Liars out to dry. Bitch, you're facing charges for a murder you didn't commit. She mentions Aria's self-defence killing of Shana as a major reason to keep quiet. Bitch, Aria actually did kill Shana (in self-defence, let's remember). You didn't kill Mona. Do what you need to do.
Oh, and I saw the remote hack coming from a mile away. Caleb really should have been onto backing that correspondence up or something.
Caleb legitimately advocates for Hanna to come clean to Roma about everything. It's what should have been done four seasons ago. And Hanna, after some protest, agrees. Amazing.
Caleb gets best line of the episode: "It's time to put a stop to it." You were so close.
Emily is the MVP of the episode. She's the one who instigates the lawyer plan, and is the only one to make it through the gate at the house he drives to (Aria and Ezra were busy being awkward). Her stalking of the lawyer leads to her finding the pizza receipt with Varjak's phone number, as well as witnessing the lawyer call someone (presumably Varjak) for a safe code so he can pick up some piles of cash and a gun before fleeing. Thanks, Emily.
And Talia doesn't turn up at all. It's a blessing. Is the pageant still on, though?
Alison eventually makes the right decision with her rejection of the plea deal. It would have been for fifteen years in a minimum security prison (with chance of parole after ten), which is pretty rough for a murder you didn't commit. So good on her.
Aria and Ezra break up (I think?), and Aria is the one who makes it happen by telling Ezra she wants to go to college as a single lady. Can we stay this way forever, you two?
There are surveillance cameras at the Varjak house, so I expect Emily's little snoop sesh will come back to bite her.
Oh, and would it be too much to hope that Hanna and Alison somehow become rival leaders of opposing prison gangs? Knowing how bonkers PLL is, we can't say it's impossible.
"Someone get me a goddamn shiv."

Washington State Route 20 in the North Cascades.
The SR-20 North Cascades Highway will reopen at 9 a.m. Thursday, according to WSDOT.
The agency closes the 37-mile (59-kilometer) scenic route every winter when weather, snow conditions and avalanche danger pose a threat to drivers and maintenance crews. It's been closed since Nov. 28.
Typically, the road reopens in May.
WSDOT says this is the earliest opening since 2015.

President Obama's Line Item Veto
President Obama wants a line-item veto. No surprise there: every president wants a line item veto, despite Peter Orszag's admission that "[this] alone is not enough to cut waste [or] streamline government operations." This is an understatement. Here in California the line item veto has been part of the governor's powers forever,
and it hasn't had a noticeable impact on improving our fiscal rectitude. (Maybe you've noticed?)
Anyway: a true line item veto is unconstitutional. So instead the president is asking for "enhanced recission authority":
Under this new expedited procedure, the President would submit a package of rescissions shortly after a spending bill is passed. Congress is then required to consider these recommendations as a package, without amendment, and with a guaranteed up-or-down vote within a specified timeframe.
As Stan Collender explains, this is basically the same authority the president has today with one change: under current law, if Congress does nothing with the president's request then the spending stays intact. Under the new law, if Congress takes no action then the spending is halted. This allows Congress to avoid responsibility for spending cuts since they never have to take a vote to approve them. But would it be constitutional? Bruce Bartlett isn't so sure and has a different suggestion:
I think there really is a much simpler way of getting around the constitutional problem — just repeal the part of the Budget Act which prohibits impoundment.
In essence, impoundment means that if the president doesn't want to spend money appropriated by Congress he simply impounds it; i.e., doesn't spend it. It has exactly the same effect as a line-item veto and is unquestionably constitutional — every president up until Nixon had and routinely used impoundment to control spending.
But in 1973, Nixon became heavy-handed in his use of impoundment, which outraged members of Congress of both parties. Legislation was drafted to eliminate impoundment and force the president to spend every penny appropriated by Congress exactly as Congress intended….Therefore, it would seem to me that simply getting rid of or amending the section of the Budget Act relating to impoundment could give the president de facto line item veto power in a way that would be much more effective than enhanced rescission authority and would certainly be constitutional.
OK, fine. Impoundment isn't as elegent as enhanced recission, but it would almost certainly work. Unfortunately, Bruce's potted history suggests why it doesn't matter all that much: Congress doesn't mind the practice too much as long its use is fairly trivial. But if a president actually uses it in big enough chunks to make a difference, they go nuts — and there goes your faux line-item veto.
But look: if it's only used for occasional little doodaws and gimcracks, it's hardly worth the trouble. It might be worth having just as a PR tool, or as a way of giving the president a bit of bargaining power over the budget, but not much more. So I have a hard time understanding why this topic is such a perennial favorite in Washington. If anyone were really serious about this, we would have approved a constitutional amendment giving the president a real line-item veto long ago.

Ngāti Ruapani ki Waikaremoana says they will not bow down
Ngāti Ruapani ki Waikaremoana intend to occupy the Aniwaniwa Visitors centre owned by the Department of Conservation in the hope that the conservation reopens the centre. However, the building has been deemed unsafe and has been vacant since 2008.
There is a power struggle in Lake Waikaremoana and it all starts with the Aniwaniwa Visitors centre.
Tahurioterangi Trainor Tait (Ngāti Ruapani ki Waikaremoana) says, "We are against the dismantling of this building because we believe that it is not right to do so."
Tait says that his people have pledged their support in saving the building because they are the original owners of the area. The building belongs to the Department of Conservation who had closed it in 2008 when it was deemed unsafe for staff and visitors by the Wairoa District Council. Designed by Māori architect John Scott, his son Jacob on behalf of their family believes that it can be saved and have the backing of Ngāti Ruapani ki Waikaremoana who intent to occupy the building.
"We will occupy until our lawyers get back to us to see the positives and negatives of the situation. They have the guidelines for us to see whether we are right or wrong but according to me we are in the right," saysTait.
Following the Tūhoe settlement this area now comes under Te Urewera, Tūhoe have been in discussion with the Department of Conservation regarding this area, however DOC say that they have explored options for saving the building but no longer believe it is feasible to do so.
Tait says, "has left the building, they haven't given it to Te Uru Taumatua the building is still standing so by right that building belongs to us if it's still liveable who owns it."
Ngāti Ruapani ki Waikaremoana says they will not bow down, Tait insists that the next time he returns if anyone wants to stop him coming here it has to be the police.
Ngāti Ruapani ki Waikaremoana intend to occupy this building this coming week.
