What hunting Bigfoot taught a Republican congressman about politics

AFTON, Va. — There was a time in Denver Riggleman's life when he sat on the banks of a creek that reeked of dead fish and peered through night-vision goggles into the thick of the Olympic National Forest.
He was looking for Bigfoot.
Or at least, others in his group were. Riggleman, a nonbeliever who was then a National Security Agency defense contractor, had come along for the ride, paying thousands of dollars in 2004 to indulge a lifelong fascination: Why do people — what kind of people — believe in Bigfoot?
Now in one of his last acts as a Republican congressman from Virginia, Riggleman is asking the same questions of supporters of QAnon and deniers of President-elect Joe Biden's victory.
Months after his ouster by Rep.-elect Bob Good (R) in a contentious GOP convention, Riggleman has become one of the loudest voices in Congress warning of the infiltration of conspiracy theories into political discourse.
And he is surely the only voice to have made the point after self-publishing a book about Bigfoot beliefs.
To Riggleman, the book, "Bigfoot . . . It's Complicated," mirrors the way pockets of the country are falling into conspiracy wormholes — everything from extremist fringe groups such as QAnon and the "boogaloo" movement to President Trump's claims of widespread voter fraud.
Like the Bigfoot hunters in the Olympic National Forest, they see what they want to see.
"I always say the [Bigfoot] expedition leader and Rudy Giuliani are very similar people," Riggleman said of Trump's conspiracy-theory-spinning lawyer, during a recent interview at his distillery in Afton, Va.
Election results under attack: Here are the facts
Bigfoot believers have plenty in common with political extremists on both the far right and the far left, Riggleman said, lambasting a political ecosystem where, oftentimes, "facts don't matter."
"They're all bat---- crazy. Right?" he said, not really joking. "All of them ascribe to a team mythology that might or might not be true. And they stay on that team regardless. And that is what's so dangerous about politics today. That's what I've been trying to say."
A 'lark' turns into a book
Riggleman's Bigfoot story begins in 1980, when he was 10. Something his grandfather described only as "mighty peculiar" chased them in the West Virginia woods back to his grandfather's trailer.
Was it Bigfoot? Probably not, Riggleman now knows.
But it gave him his own sense of how a kernel of suspicion could snowball into an unshakable conviction.
Years later, his fascination with belief systems was cemented halfway across the world. After graduating from the University of Virginia with a degree in Eastern European foreign affairs, Riggleman became an Air Force intelligence officer and ended up stationed on the Serbian-Romanian border during the Kosovo War in the late 1990s.
"There was religious violence, ethnic strife. But what really touched me there was the way the Romanians treated the Roma, or the gypsies," Riggleman said. "It was subhuman. What I saw was belief systems that thought the other belief system was wrong, based on no evidence whatsoever."
He finished out his counterterrorism career as a defense contractor with the National Security Agency before starting his own contracting company, Analyst Warehouse, and later working as a consultant at the Pentagon.
All the while, he dabbled in Bigfoot beliefs as a personal hobby. In 2004, he flew to Washington state with his wife, Christine, and his best friend, a Michigan state trooper, to go on a Bigfoot-hunting expedition, the first of several he would take over the years for his book. At the time it was only a lark, basically a prank vacation.
He had told his wife they were going on an "exotic" hiking trip for their anniversary.
"It was not the greatest thing I've ever done," he says now.
In the woods, they listened to Bigfoot-believing women sing nursery rhymes, banking on the widely held theory that women's singing voices would lure the hairy, behemoth forest dweller from the shadows. Around a campfire, they humored other group members' stories of Bigfoot sightings.
Some attendees debated, with almost religion-like conviction, whether Bigfoot had a gluten allergy, or questioned how big his penis was. (Yep, that's in the book. And if it sounds vaguely familiar, it's because Riggleman's Democratic opponent in 2018 accused him of being a "devotee of Bigfoot erotica"; Riggleman had joked online about Bigfoot genitalia and "why women want" him.)
What is Bigfoot erotica? A Virginia congressional candidate accused her opponent of being into it.
By the end of the trip, Riggleman, and especially his wife, couldn't believe he had dropped more than $5,000 — much of which he paid to the expedition leader.
As he recalls the expense today, Riggleman said it doesn't feel much different from Trump's allies seeking donations from fervent Trump voters to help his campaign's legal challenge of the election results.
"If you look at the Giulianis or the Sidney Powells of the world, they're making money off the grift because they're asking for donations to help in a mythological quest of things that can't be proven," he said, referring to a former member of Trump's legal team. "I saw it with Bigfoot. I'm seeing it with QAnon. It's about money. And sometimes crazy and money live in the same space."
'Ideological purity test'
It's dusk on Riggleman's back porch in Afton, overlooking the Rockfish River at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains — the kind of night when Riggleman typically pours a glass of bourbon, has a cigar, sits outside and feels kind of happy to be leaving Washington.
He lives walking distance from Silverback Distillery, which he and Christine founded in 2013 and Christine now runs with their daughter. On a tour of the grounds, he stops at their barrel warehouse and points to a bench at the top of a hill.
"That's where Stephen Colbert made fun of me," he said, referring to Colbert's 2018 late-night spoof of Riggleman's "Bigfoot erotica" campaign controversy, which featured Riggleman looking pensive on his picturesque bench.
Upheaval opens door for Republican outsider in Virginia congressional race
Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-Pa.) said the controversy largely fizzled after Riggleman got to work in Congress, in part because Riggleman "embraced" his unusual hobby. He wore Bigfoot socks. He put Bigfoot figurines in his office. And he proved himself a "live-and-let-live Republican" unafraid to speak his mind, said Reschenthaler, who has purchased copies of Riggleman's Bigfoot book to give to friends.
Riggleman's mentor, Rep. Drew Ferguson (R-Ga.), who is chief deputy whip, described the one-term lawmaker's voting record as among the most conservative in Congress but said his mind-set was always "wrapped in a Libertarian wrapper."
He said Riggleman "built a reputation as an honest broker," someone he could trust to reach out to members across the political spectrum to whip votes.
Riggleman worked with Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.) on rural broadband access, and with Rep. David Trone (D-Md.) — "my hero," Riggleman said — to pass $9 billion opioid addiction legislation, an issue personal to each of them after both lost a relative to an overdose.
"Denver has empathy," Trone said. "But he also has this bigger-than-life personality and this inquisitive mind. And he's not afraid to challenge the status quo. . . . Others just lack the courage; they're concerned about reelection."
That trait didn't always go over well with factions of the Republican Party in Virginia's 5th Congressional District, however — an experience that has left Riggleman cynical about the two-party political system and questioning whether he has a home in the GOP.
He landed in hot water with social conservatives after officiating a same-sex wedding between two of his campaign staffers and supporting increases in visas for foreign workers. During the Republican primary campaign, Good, a religious conservative, lashed Riggleman for voting to condemn the Trump administration's lawsuit seeking a full repeal of the Affordable Care Act.
Conservative GOP congressman presides at same-sex wedding in Virginia
Riggleman said he didn't want to "play the game" — or ascribe to a team mythology — to get reelected. "I think what you have is this ideological purity test I refuse to meet for the GOP in Virginia," he said.
In the months after his loss, he co-led a House resolution condemning QAnon and, later, went after Trump on cable news for promoting a QAnon conspiracy on Twitter about an Osama bin Laden body double. He openly flirted with not voting for Trump's reelection bid and says he'll never tell whom he did vote for.
Since the election, he has blasted the president's unfounded claims of widespread voter fraud — saying there is probably "more proof of alien abductions" than of fantastical theories about rigged voting machines, Venezuelan influence or plotting by Democratic operatives to fix mail-in voting for Biden.
John Fredericks, chairman of Trump's Virginia convention delegation, said Riggleman's comments attacking Trump on live television amounted to a betrayal of the president's 2 million Virginia supporters — and Trump's previous support for the congressman. Fredericks said he will never back Riggleman in politics again because of it.
Riggleman said he doesn't care about the political consequences of his comments.
He has tossed around the possibility of running as an independent for governor — about as convincingly as someone who will "maybe" attend your Zoom networking event next Tuesday night.
But he has his sights set on other opportunities, too.
His outspokenness on extremism caught the eye of the Network Contagion Research Institute, which maps the online spread of disinformation and coded language used by extremist groups, including antifa, the Proud Boys and more. Joel Finkelstein, the institute's founder, said Riggleman's background as an intelligence officer and his passion for rooting out conspiracy theories made him "the guy we've been waiting for."
A few months ago, Finkelstein met the congressman in Washington. They talked about his book on Bigfoot, about QAnon, about his time on the Serbian-Romanian border.
Finkelstein offered him an advisory role and a chance to co-write upcoming papers. Riggleman accepted.
"This is what I've done my whole life," he said.

The Criminal Division of the Circuit Court of the County of Lee handles all felony cases, misdemeanor cases originating by Grand Jury action, as well as misdemeanor appeals from the General District and Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Courts.
Traffic infractions are handled by the General District Court, which is a separate entity with its own Clerk's Office. Only when traffic cases are appealed from the General District or Juvenile & Domestic Relations District Court do they fall under the jurisdiction of the Circuit Court. Therefore, before contacting the Circuit Court to inquire about the status of a traffic infraction case or pre-payment of a traffic fine, it is important to ascertain beforehand which Court has jurisdiction. This will prevent any unnecessary delay in processing. Unlike the District Courts that have separate traffic dockets, the Circuit Court integrates traffic infraction appeals into its criminal docket.

Employee or Independent Contractor?
Resources collected by Nathan S. Gibson to help classify workers as employees or independent contractors
Worker Misclassification
Signs of (American United) Life for Independent Contractor Status in Massachusetts
Categories: Massachusetts
Posted Date: January 4, 2016 October 24, 2019
From JDSupra, Patrick Bannon and Anne Bider of Seyfarth Shaw LLP discuss a recent Massachusetts case which found that an insurance agent who sold insurance was not performing services within the usual course of business of the insurance company. The Massachusetts independent contractor statute provides:
Section 148B. (a) For the purpose of this chapter and chapter 151, an individual performing any service, except as authorized under this chapter, shall be considered to be an employee under those chapters unless:?
(1) the individual is free from control and direction in connection with the performance of the service, both under his contract for the performance of service and in fact; and
(2) the service is performed outside the usual course of the business of the employer; and,
(3) the individual is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, profession or business of the same nature as that involved in the service performed.
Typically, the most difficult element to establish is that "the service is performed outside the usual course of business of the employer." At first glance, it would seem difficult to believe that selling insurance was outside the usual course of business of an insurance company, but American United Life Insurance Company successfully argued that it drafted and issued policies but did not sell them. Even though the services were essential to the insurance company's business, the insurance company outsourced them.
Independent contractor misclassification claims have become an epidemic — nationally and especially in Massachusetts. Under most tests for independent contractor status, whether an individual's services are within the usual course of the business of the company for which they are performed is an important factor. Under Massachusetts' Independent Contractor Statute it is an essential element of independent contractor status. But who gets to define the scope of the company's business, and how?
After a stream of cases under Massachusetts law in which courts rejected defendants' attempts to define the scope of their businesses, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts recently issued a decision that gives businesses hope. In Ruggiero v. American United Life Insurance Company, the Court held that plaintiffs cannot use the independent contractor statute to expand the boundaries of a legitimately defined business—even if those boundaries exclude services that are important to and closely integrated with a company's business.
The plaintiff in Ruggiero was an insurance agent who entered into a contract with American United Life Insurance Company ("AUL") to sell AUL's insurance products and recruit and train other agents to do the same. With the help of a loan from AUL, the plaintiff established an agency in Massachusetts. After a few disappointing years, the plaintiff sued under the Massachusetts Independent Contractor Statute, claiming the rights and benefits of an AUL employee. To defend the claim, AUL was required to show that: (1) Ruggiero was free from the company's direction and control; (2) Ruggiero's services were "outside the usual course of the business" of AUL; and (3) Ruggiero was engaged in an independently established trade.
The crux of the dispute was Prong 2. AUL contended that, while some insurance companies issued products and sold them—taking a product from inception all the way to the customers' hands—others limited their business. AUL argued that it drafted policy language, obtained regulatory approval of policies, and invested premiums. It did not, however, sell policies. Instead, it left distribution to third parties, including banks, credit unions, wholesalers, and insurance agents, including the plaintiff.
In ruling on cross-motions for summary judgment, the Court agreed with AUL. It found that while sales were "essential" to AUL's success, AUL had legitimately outsourced that function. And, unlike cases involving delivery services, cleaning companies, and adult clubs, where defendants artificially attempted to deconstruct their businesses to avoid proper classification of employees, AUL's definition of its business was bona fide. In reaching the conclusion that the plaintiff's services were outside the scope of AUL's business, the Court also found it relevant that the plaintiff mostly sold non-AUL policies, thus benefitting competing insurance companies as well as AUL.
The Court also held that AUL established Prongs 1 and 3 of the Independent Contractor Test, noting that the plaintiff was free to run his agency as he pleased and sell the products of AUL's competitors. That the plaintiff sold the insurance products of a number of unrelated insurance companies – indeed, sold mostly non-AUL products – undoubtedly also helped as to Prong 2, by persuading the judge that the plaintiff's services could legitimately be considered outside AUL's business.
The Ruggiero decision offers Massachusetts employers insight into how courts may approach the most contested provision in the nation's most stringent independent contractor laws. For employers outside of Massachusetts, it also provides a counterpoint to the idea, recently advocated by the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor, that close coordination between a company and an individual who provides services that are important to the company's business automatically creates an employment relationship. Employers who think that theory is unreasonably broad can find support in the Ruggiero decision.

Progress toward the Schism
By Ron Conte on November 7, 2018
The conflict between Pope Francis and the leaders of the conservative Catholic subculture has progressed from one stage to another. Initially, when the new Pope was elected, conservatives were supportive, but also somewhat hesitant. He was already known not to be a conservative. As his Pontificate progressed, he accumulated criticisms of his words and decisions, especially his remarks off-the-cuff to the press. This had the effect of galvanizing the conservative leaders, making into critics and opponents.
When Amoris Laetitia was released, the criticisms were so severe that a number of conservatives seemed to have decided to become opponents of the Pope. It was no longer a question of reacting to each word or deed. They stood in opposition to him continuously. In particular cases, some leaders spoke so harshly about the Pope that they must be considered to be schismatics. Calling the Roman Pontiff "lost shepherd", calling him the worst pope in history, referring to him as a dictator, and assuming that all his decisions come from evil motivations — these are the words and deeds of schismatics.
Certainly, some conservative Catholic leaders have committed public formal schism, and are automatically excommunicated. However, they continue to claim to be in communion with Rome, at least nominally, and they continue to receive Communion. What is more problematic is that these leaders continue to lead. They continue to presume to teach the faithful, leading them away from the Roman Pontiff. They continue to have influence over a large number of Catholics, to the harm of their souls.
The current state of the Church is like a tinderbox. One spark, and the conservative Catholic leaders will cry out against the Pope, accuse him of heresy, and depart from the Church — taking a large number of followers with them. For, in the age of the internet, each popular priest, theologian, author, or speaker has a large number of persons who learn the faith from them. And if they, as a group, accuse the Pope of evil intentions or of false doctrines, many are likely to be influenced to fall into schism.
What will that spark be? There are only a few possibilities. Pope Francis could teach that the Church has the authority to ordain women to the diaconate. That would set a number of conservatives on fire with anger. He could teach that non-Christian believers and non-believers can be saved without converting. A number of right-wing Catholics have decided that question, apart from magisterial teaching, to the contrary. Or perhaps something else.
God is working through Pope Francis to test conservatives and see if they are as faithful to the Magisterium as they have long claimed. Most are not. They believe the majority opinion of the conservative Catholic subculture, not the teaching of the Church. And over time, those two sources of truth have diverged. The subculture now teaches a number of serious errors, and its leaders do not accept correction from the Magisterium. They have become a magisterium unto themselves.
When will the schism begin? It has already started. But the actual formal departure will happen soon.
On the subject of the clergy sex abuse crisis, Pope Francis did more than Pope Saint John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI put together. He removed McCarrick from the College of Cardinals, and confined him to a friary in Victoria, Kansas. It is unfortunate that Pope Francis did not remove him sooner. But it is difficult even for a Pope to identify and remove those who abuse power. There are other McCarricks in the Church, not just sex offenders, but those who severely abuse power. The critics of Pope Francis are not speaking out against these other McCarricks. Hindsight is 20:20. It's easy to say that the Pope should have done this or that, after we all find out the truth. Before the whole story came out (especially that McCarrick abused minors), all these papal critics were themselves saying little or nothing about McCarrick. So they expect more of the Pope than of themselves.
When the schism occurs, remain faithful:
A. The grace of God and the promise of Jesus never permits any Pope to teach heresy, nor any grave error, and never permits any Pope to commit apostasy, heresy, or schism. If it seems otherwise, then it just seems that way. Trust that God would not permit a Pope to teach or commit heresy.
B. The faithful are permitted by God to disagree with some of the non-infallible teachings of the Pope. So if the teaching does not meet the conditions for infallibility, then you may mildly quietly disagree — without any expressions of malice, anger, or contempt for the Pope.
C. Love your neighbor, including the Vicar of Christ, whom the Lord chose to be your Shepherd and Teacher. Do not allow any other persons — Cardinals, Bishops, priests, deacons, religious, or various popular personalities — to take the place of the Roman Pontiff as Father and Teacher of all Christians.
D. Do not accuse the Pope of interior evil, nor of any mortal sins; you have no such role, to judge the heart, mind, or soul of the Pope. And the grace of God certainly prevents every Pope from committing the type of mortal sins that would harm the Church, the Faith, or the souls of the faithful.

Local projects are major-change opportunities
Two big parcels of land are on the cusp of...
Shayna Mace
Posted: February 23, 2016 6:00 AM
by Shayna Mace
Two big parcels of land are on the cusp of large-scale reinvention in Madison. One is the oft-talked-about Judge Doyle Square project, and the other is the Alliant Energy Center campus.
"These are two key pieces of land," says Deb Archer, president and CEO of the Greater Madison Convention & Visitors Bureau. "A lot of cities wouldn't have these opportunities so close to their downtown. [It's a] true change agent and major change opportunity."
While Exact Sciences dominated the Judge Doyle Square conversations–in November, it scrapped its plan to relocate its headquarters there after the company's stock dropped when a government panel listed its colon screening test as an alternative rather than a preferred option–the Greater Madison Convention & Visitors Bureau is most interested in the project because of the need for more hotel rooms around Monona Terrace, which could lead to more meeting and convention dollars flowing into Madison.
As of press time, one of the four companies that had submitted proposals back in May 2015 has resubmitted plans to work on the site. Beitler Real Estate's proposal includes a 610-stall, above-ground parking facility with retail space, a 210-unit apartment building and an InterContinental Hotel Group EVEN Hotel, which would bring 252 hotel rooms downtown.
"The way we look at the Monona Terrace is that it's like a racehorse that's penned in," Archer says. "Its potential is limited because of the number of adjacent hotel rooms and ancillary meeting spaces. It's a convenience factor. We need to create a more competitive package as well as create more capacity. We've been a proponent of the right hotel being built adjacent to Monona Terrace, and the location is really important."
Convenience, amenities and rooms also factor in to the Alliant Energy Center's eventual rebirth. The underutilized 164-acre campus in recent years has experienced annual net operating deficits between $300,000 and $500,000, according to a recent strategic feasibility report, which also states that the deficit for 2014 increased to about $758,000. The facility needs updates and additions to be competitive with other exhibition centers around the U.S.
"When you come to a site, whether you're going to a show or convention, there's an expectation that you have certain amenities on-site. That the catering meets a certain standard and there are restaurants within walking distance. There's a very limited ability that you can access amenities for a show [at Alliant]," explains Sharon Corrigan, chair of the Dane County Board.
The strategic feasibility report, released in October, contained three recommendations, the priciest of which at roughly $100 million called for improvements to make over the area such as a new venue to replace or significantly upgrade the Coliseum, upgrades to flexible space and kitchen/catering
facilities as well as private-sector investment for a new hotel, businesses and restaurants on-site.
The two other plans presented would cost less but yield short-term fixes. Corrigan acknowledges that Dane County executive Joe Parisi is focused on the shorter term in order to stop the bleeding on Alliant. "But," she says, "we can't just do that or we're going to be in the same fix five years from now if we don't look at the larger picture."
The Strategic Design Committee will meet in the coming weeks to work on recommendations to the county board.
"It's not just for visitors–this is for residents," says Archer. "There are so many ways people could benefit like a job or accessing a new facility. [These are] really exciting future dreams."

Ida Myrtis
Band Rock Jam
Share Ida Myrtis's EPK!
2008 - "Teaches Typing" (5 original tracks)
With influences from the Beatles, the Doors, and the Floyd, Ida Myrtis is a Dirty Folk Rock Jam Band with space filled organ passages in the vain of Ray Manzerek, David Gilmoure-esque licks, and a ever changing rhythm section inspired by the Beatles. Lyrically you will hear themes of the battles between demons and angels, the neglect of home cooked meals, love, death, and colors.
Ida Myrtis began this journey on the 40th anniversary of the Summer of Love. That summer of '07 the band began playing live gigs in their hometown of Texarkana, a growing town that claims both Texas and Arkansas. In that small amount of time, the band won 2nd place at the Battle of the Bands which allowed them much needed studio time to record a handful of original tunes for their first EP entitled "Teaches Typing." With a product in hand, a growing fan base, and a year of playing coming around the corner the band is full of high hopes.

Upgraded LG V30 Smartphone to Be Announced At MWC 2018
on 3rd February, 2018 IN News, Rumours, Upcoming , 0
Like every year, LG will participate in the MWC (mobile world congress) 2018 to showcase its upcoming smartphone. However, this year the company will be launching an upgraded version of the LG V30 smartphone that had launched last year in December. The event is scheduled to take place sometime between February 26 – March 1.
Earlier reports suggested that the company will also be launching its new LG G7 smartphone at the event. But LG has decided to host a separate event in the coming months to launch its upcoming mobile. The new variant of the LG V30 smartphone will be named as LG V30+ 'a'.
The hardware of the latest LG mobile will be similar to the LG V30 variant. On the other hand, the new variant is claimed to be much smarter, thanks to the Artificial Intelligence. The company has planned to incorporate some artificial intelligence features to the upcoming smartphone.
Since LG is working with Google for the AI features, we can expect the smartphone to boast more Google Assistant features. A major reason for LG to launch an upgraded variant of the LG V30 smartphone is that it wants to retain its flagship smartphones in the market for a longer time.
LG V30: Specifications
While there are no confirmed specifications about the LG V30+ 'a' smartphone, it is safe to assume that it will come with features similar to the V30 model. Based on the rumours, the upcoming V30 variant will sport a 6-inch pOLED QHD+ display. Under the hood, it will be powered by the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset.
On the storage front, the smartphone might be upgraded to a whopping 6GB RAM along with allotment for 256GB internal storage. The camera specifications on the newer model will be similar to the V30 variant. Similarly, the phone will feature a 3300 mAh battery.
Additionally, the phone is expected to run on the Android 8.0 Oreo operating system out of the box. Nevertheless, these rumours should be taken with a pinch of salt until the actual specifications of the phone are revealed.

The Changing Landscape of Lockdown Law
9 Jun 2020 9 Jun 2020 / essexlawresearch

Dr Samantha Davey, Lecturer in Law, University of Essex
The original position can be summarised by the Government's mantra 'stay home, save lives' which became ingrained in the minds of the general public. We were permitted to leave the house for one of the following reasons only: daily exercise, medical need, caring for vulnerable individuals, to shop for essential supplies, and to go to work if it was not possible to work from home. All shops, except for those selling essential supplies such as food and medicines, were closed. We were no longer permitted to socialise, face-to-face, with people outside of our households. Social distancing became the new norm with guidance emphasising that people should maintain distances of 2m from individuals outside of our households. The changes led to the need for adjustments with many people working from home and children being educated from home. No one could have anticipated how different our lives would have become in 2020. Nor could we have predicted the restrictions on our civil liberties deemed necessary to protect the individuals most vulnerable to the virus such as the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions. At first, many people accepted the legitimacy of these measures. Over time, however, many people in support of the Coronavirus Law and the corresponding guidance have become concerned over constraints on their civil liberties.
The restrictions on our daily lives were (and still are) overwhelming and perplexing for many people. While these measures felt short of the tough stance taken in countries such as Russia and Spain, where people were not even allowed to leave their home for daily exercise, we are not used to the state having such control over our day-to-day lives. In the space of just over two months, not only has the legal landscape shifted dramatically but so has the social landscape. Actions once seemed natural, such as hugging and visiting close relatives, were deemed as potentially dangerous and unlawful. In order to hope to continue to enforce lockdown law, the guidance accompanying the law needs to be seen as legitimate since legitimacy fosters public obedience.
At the time of writing, in June 2020, over 36,000 people in England have died from the coronavirus. The daily death toll has decreased gradually which has led to changes in the restrictions which will apply from June 1st and June 15th. From June 1st, schools re-opened (albeit just to reception, year 1 and year 6 pupils) and some workers were able to return to work, including those working at shops selling non-essential goods. We can now go out more than once a day for daily exercise, we will have more choices in which shops to visit and we can meet in groups of up to 6, if these meetings take place outside and there is social distance. Further relaxations are to follow on June 15th. Social distancing seems likely to continue for the foreseeable future although there are talks of reducing this from 2m to 1.5m.
Since my original reflections on the coronavirus law, the social and legal landscape has changed significantly. From both an academic and a personal perspective, it is challenging to remain up to date with the guidance accompanying the Coronavirus Law. This law and the corresponding guidance have been likened, by some, to George Orwell's works of fiction such as 1984. It is argued that the legitimacy of the government guidance is under threat. At best, the guidance lacks clarity and, at worst, is contestable, ambiguous and even contradictory in nature. Indeed, the government guidance accompanying the Coronavirus Law has been voluminous, confusing and, at times, contradictory. The rules change so rapidly that the metaphorical ink on the paper barely has the chance to dry before pages are ripped out and replaced with fresh pages. This raises issues about the diminishing legitimacy of such government guidance and perhaps even of the Coronavirus Law itself. What is the democratic legitimacy of guidance provided via policy documents, press briefs and pages on government websites? In other words, what democratic legitimacy does guidance have which has been created to support law?
The Coronavirus Law contains provisions which permitted the police to intervene to arrest those who had committed breaches of the social distancing requirements. Police have been involved in cases where, for example, large parties have been organised and when offences have been committed against key-workers, such as coughing on them. The key difference with the Coronavirus Law compared to many other laws is that it is emergency legislation which has not been through the usual checks and balances. Worse still, the law has been interpreted and applied in the light of rapidly evolving government guidance rather than a single, thoughtfully drafted policy document. The government has provided guidance on the law via website summaries, reports and press briefings. Sometimes these sources have been contradictory and have changed rapidly with the passage of time. Although laws change over time and what might constitute lawful conduct one day and not the next (and vice versa), it is argued that actions by state officials based on guidance rather than on specific provisions from the Coronavirus Law (such as police actions) raises issues of legitimacy. The far-reaching nature of the guidance and emphasis on controlling day-to-day conduct makes it difficult to be certain that the guidance is being observed. These are challenging times for the government and members of the public alike but law and documents which seek to define, interpret and assist in developing law ought to have legitimacy also.
There is little doubt that the furore over Dominic Cummings and other senior government officials, who left their homes for non-essential reasons, in contradiction of the guidance provided by the Government, has led to questions about whether the public can be expected to follow guidance and face sanctions if they do not. In particular, if those in authority are not seen to follow guidance they have helped to create, it undermines the legitimacy of the guidance. The perception of differential treatment and the confusing nature of the guidance documents also serves to distract the public from the government's main objective behind the Coronavirus Law: the protection of the health and well-being of vulnerable groups in society. Will these relaxations be welcome measures to improve the country's economic and psychological well-being or measures which will lead to further confusion about government guidance and a corresponding weakening of the legitimacy of the Coronavirus Law itself? Only time will tell.

Many Georgia restaurants will not reopen this week, despite the governor's push
by Clare Busch

Restaurant owners say they fear an even bigger financial hit from a rush to restart business before the coronavirus is contained.
Pictured above, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp.
ATLANTA—As Georgia's governor loosens restrictions on businesses imposed to contain the Covid-19 pandemic, many restaurants in the state say they will remain closed to dine-in customers rather than risk the health of their staff and patrons.
Republican Governor Brian Kemp, citing the economic impact of the pandemic, announced this week that businesses such as gyms and nail salons could begin reopening in the state on Friday. Starting Monday restaurants could resume dine-in service under new, temporary standards including screening staff for illness, limiting tables to no more than six customers and increasing physical space between staff and customers.
But many question the public health ramifications of reopening at this stage, as Covid-19 cases in the state continue to increase. As of early Friday, there have been more than 20,000 reported cases in Georgia and more than 800 deaths.
"Parts of our dining room we're using only to store to-go containers. We have more to-go containers than we've ever had before."
Jesse Smith is an owner of the well-known Decatur restaurant Kimball House and Atlanta's Watchman's. When he first heard Kemp's announcement, his "stomach sank," he said. Smith worries Kemp's decision means it could take longer for his restaurants to get back to normal if there is another surge of infections.
Smith stressed the logistical difficulties of reopening restaurants that had to pivot to to-go only orders a little over a month ago "Parts of our dining room we're using only to store to-go containers. We have more to-go containers than we've ever had before." Even if he wanted to open, it would be difficult on such short notice. Restaurants' inventory levels after a month of closure or reduced service are not high enough to snap back to regular dine-in service.
Ultimately, Smith said his decision to stay closed came down to safety. "We will always put health and safety before finances," he said.
Governors of a few other states are poised to follow Kemp's lead. Governor Henry McMaster of South Carolina reopened beaches and some retailers this week. The governors of Tennessee, Ohio, and Colorado seem unlikely to extend stay-at-home orders that expire next week. But Kemp's decision has been met with criticism from President Donald Trump and top federal health officials who say it's too soon and could trigger an explosion of new cases. Some Democratic lawmakers, including Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, have urged residents to ignore Kemp's reopening directive.
"We are not a 300-seat chain restaurant that can remove a table or two and then operate with these new, never before applied sanitizing regulations, which are not being policed or monitored in any way."
If restaurant owners are a bellwether, the food and beverage industry is not ready to return to business as usual.
The day of Kemp's press conference, Greg Best fielded calls from his furloughed staff worried they would be reopening Ticonderoga Club, a restaurant known for its cocktails in an upscale food hall in Atlanta. Best said there was no chance Ticonderoga Club would open next week. Not only did he not want to put staff or patrons at risk, Best said it is unfeasible to think the restaurant could adhere to new health guidelines while operating.
"We are not a 300-seat chain restaurant that can remove a table or two and then operate with these new, never before applied sanitizing regulations, which are not being policed or monitored in any way," he said. Best had not heard anything from the owners of the food hall space that made him think they accommodate this new normal.
"The trips I've taken to the grocery store, hardware store, I definitely don't feel any safer in those places than I would feel sitting in my own restaurant."
Bo Peabody is on the Georgia Restaurant Association Task Force that is trying to make sense of the sudden rush to reopen restaurants while maintaining new hygiene standards. Despite personally feeling like the reopenings are "too soon," Peabody said he doesn't believe restaurants pose more of a risk than many other businesses. "The trips I've taken to the grocery store, hardware store, I definitely don't feel any safer in those places than I would feel sitting in my own restaurant," he said.
The task force put together some safety guidelines and sent them over to the governor's office for review by public health officials. Peabody said the task force tried to adapt current guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for essential businesses.
Hugh Acheson, a restaurateur and award-winning chef, will not be reopening his restaurants for dine-in service, also saying it's too soon. The owner of 5&10 in Athens and Empire State South and By George in Atlanta, Acheson had to furlough most of his staff. He has partnered with the not-for-profit World Central Kitchen to start making and delivering meals for communities in need, as well as first responders and healthcare workers. Now, he and a staff he pays with a loan from the federal Paycheck Protection Program are putting out between 7,000 and 8,000 meals weekly.
"If you have a 60 people restaurant and you're now seating 30, what economic boon are you going to see in that?"
In addition to worrying about his staff's safety, Acheson does not think it would be economically viable to reopen while trying to rush new health and safety guidelines. "If you have a 60 people restaurant and you're now seating 30, what economic boon are you going to see in that?"
Restaurants that do choose to open in coming weeks will need to focus on new hygiene standards going forward, according to Jay Bandy, who is on the board of directors of the Georgia Restaurant Association and the owner of Goliath Consulting Group. He consults with restaurants across a number of states, including Georgia and South Carolina. None of the restaurants he consults with are opening Monday, but Bandy thinks some may open as soon as June 1. When it comes to social distancing during food service, Bandy is trying to pinpoint areas where the virus could spread. "How do you separate guests and the staff? That's the biggest issue. Separating the guest will be a hassle, but it is possible."
Some owners are not convinced.
Before Argosy, a gastropub in East Atlanta Village, reopens, owner Armando Celentano and his partners, "[want] to see two weeks with no new cases."
Even after two weeks of no new infections, Celentano only plans to bring in his staff for retraining and a deep clean. He wants additional time before they open for full service. Celentano said he is trying to think long-term. "I'm a lifer. I'm worried about my friends and my staff," he said.
Looking forward, Best is hopeful. He thinks restaurants will come back from this pandemic, though he acknowledges the situation has changed drastically in the past month. "We have been shifted into a leadership position that extends beyond the four walls of our restaurant," Best said of the decision to remain closed. "We've become real community advocates."

Arson Laws and Punishment in Louisiana
HomeArson Laws and Punishment in Louisiana
Arson - David E. Stanley, APLC
Arson-related charges are a very severe matter. Therefore, anyone accused of starting a fire should immediately contact a qualified criminal defense lawyer. Your attorney will be able to help you through the criminal justice system, advise you on potential plea bargains, and defend your rights throughout the whole process. Historically, setting fire to someone else's residence or neighboring property was illegal. Its goal was to keep people safe. Modern arson laws have broadened the original meaning to include burning any property, including land, buildings, and personal property. Although arson laws exist in every state, each defines, punishes, and classifies the offense differently. Arson is likewise forbidden under federal law.
If you've been charged with the commission of a crime, it's vital to work with an attorney for a criminal defense who is knowledgeable and experienced. Their expertise and knowledge could make a difference in the result of your case. They may help you avoid a lengthy sentence or an acquittal. David Stanley, a criminal defense attorney, will help you defend your rights, prevent wrongful convictions, and get the best possible result. In addition, a lawyer will represent you if you have been found guilty and fight to get an appropriate sentence.

Arson: What Is It?
The crime of arson is defined as someone starting a fire or explosion with the intention of damaging tangible or intangible property. However, definitions differ widely from state to state. The kind of property, its worth, the defendant's purpose, and whether the property was inhabited all play a role in the penalty for arson. For crimes that include physical injury or the potential for damage to human life, states normally impose the severest punishments.
Elements of the Offense and the Proof of Arson
The prosecution often has to show that the defendant acted intentionally, purposefully, or recklessly to get an arson conviction. In addition, in certain jurisdictions, the prosecution has to demonstrate that the fire caused damage to people or property.
Acts that are Intentional, Purposeful, or Careless
A person must intentionally start a fire on a property or know that their actions will result in the property being burnt or destroyed to be charged with arson. A person's actions must be irresponsible for accidental fires to be declared arson.
Proof of Intention
Although the intention is a requirement, the prosecution need not specify the defendant's detailed thoughts at the time the fire was set or the property was burnt. The prosecution may prove someone's intent through circumstantial evidence without an implausible confession. Imagine if their joint house caught fire the next day after a couple of splits, neatly destroying the cheater's wardrobe and personal belongings. The prosecution would argue that the relationship between the fire and the separation and that only certain stuff was damaged strongly shows that the partner who was dumped burnt the other's possessions purposefully as retaliation.
Being Reckless
In certain places, setting fire to property while carelessly behaving constitutes the crime of arson. When someone behaves recklessly, they know that their activities might cause a fire or property damage, yet they carry them out. A state may regard this crime as a lower degree of arson or a distinct offense (such as reckless burning).
They are burning or exploding. Many jurisdictions cover explosions under arson statutes, and damage caused by force or debris (not necessarily by fire) may result in a conviction. Explosion-related property damage is a distinct offense in several jurisdictions.
Causing Harm to the Property
To be deemed guilty of arson, the prosecution typically has to prove that the defendant's acts caused damage to another person's property. However, the fire is not necessary to continue for a certain period, and the damage might be minor. For a conviction in certain places, lighting a fire to cause property damage is sufficient evidence of the crime.
Setting Fire to Personal Property
Setting fire to one's property may also be prosecuted as arson, even though most arson offenses involve property that belongs to other people. A person must have intentionally started the fire or caused damage to someone else's property to be found guilty of arson. For instance, setting fire to a building with the intention of recouping losses under an insurance policy constitutes arson (and insurance fraud). A person might also be found guilty of arson if they purposefully set fire to their shed, which then spread to their neighbor's yard and home.
Arms Against Arson
Common responses to arson accusations begin with "I didn't do it. The fire did not start by me." However, a defendant may undermine the prosecution's case by contesting some of the crime's essential components. For instance, the defendant may contend that the fire was accidentally ignited or that the property's owner agreed to the fire (such as a prescribed burn). When defending against accusations, it may be necessary to demonstrate that the building wasn't inhabited or wasn't set on purpose to minimize the charges (here, the defense might argue for reduced charges for recklessly burning property or criminal mischief).
Arson Punishment
Most states categorize arson charges according to their seriousness; many of these acts are felonies. The kind of property, the defendant's purpose, the degree of damage, and whether there was any physical injury will often all impact the sanctions. Judges often require defendants to pay penalties and restitution in arson trials in addition to probable jail or prison sentences. The property owner receives restitution payments from making up for losses brought on by the crime. Such directives could also include paying back a fire service for the costs incurred during the firefight.
The sort of property used in the crime may often determine whether or not the offender faces severe criminal punishment.
A house, residence, or inhabited structure being set on fire often results in severe criminal charges. As these activities pose the highest risk of endangering human life, a conviction for any of these charges might result in a jail term of up to 20 years. Severe criminal penalties may also occur from harm to a particular property, such as state forest land, a public structure, or a religious organization. However, lower felony penalties might apply if the arson affected an uninhabited structure or property.
Private property Penalties for damaging personal property, such as a vehicle or clothes, may range from misdemeanors to felonies. The cost of the damage often influences the severity of the infraction. Additionally, several jurisdictions have heavier penalties for putting a car on fire, mainly if the vehicle is close to an inhabited structure.
Plaintiff's Intent
Sentences for felonies involving deliberate arson may range from one to twenty years or more. In addition, several jurisdictions impose severe penalties when a criminal employs an accelerant in the crime or targets a property based on the owner's beliefs, race, ethnicity, or other protected status.
Depending on how careless the defendant's actions were or what they caused in the end, they may face felony charges or a misdemeanor. For instance, carelessly setting fire to a structure where many people may be harmed, such as a school or apartment complex, would probably result in felony charges. On the other hand, reckless behavior that doesn't endanger human life may result in misdemeanor punishments of up to a year in prison.
Size of the Damage
A state may also categorize certain arson charges according to the magnitude of the damage. For instance, misdemeanor charges may come from damage to property worth less than $500, but damage to property worth $100,000 or more may result in 10 years or more in jail. In addition, some states apply harsher punishments for wildfire arson depending on how many structures or residences were burned or damaged by the fire.
Body Damage
A felony conviction for arson that causes physical injury to another person is relatively standard. The level of the victim's injuries or the number of victims usually determines how severe the sanctions are. If a first responder—such as a firefighter—is hurt while addressing the arson, the state may further impose criminal punishments.
What is the Punishment for Arson?
Arsonists who cause harm must serve a minimum of six years in jail and a maximum of twenty years in prison while working very hard, and they must also pay a fine of no more than $25,000, without parole, probation, or sentence reduction throughout the first two years of such a hard labor jail term.
What are the Rules of Arson?
A defendant must have damaged a home with a fire to be found guilty of arson. However, the flames must have burned a portion of the house. Therefore, the damage need not be severe or widespread.
Scorching or discoloration brought on by heat or smoke is insufficient to prove arson.
How Hard is it to Prove Arson?
Arson eyewitnesses are few, and arson causes are often obscure and hard to prove. Furthermore, it is sometimes difficult to establish the fire's incendiary origin.

Q: Dependencies setting folder in ASP.NET Core MVC I am working with ASP.NET Core MVC (RTM Preview 2 version).
I've insertred file bower.json into my project and configured dependency settings for bootstrap as follows.
{
  "name": "AspNetBlog",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "bootstrap": "^3.3.7"
  }
}

For some reason there is no folder "Dependencies" in my project.
Thus bootstrap dependency is not inserted into it.
Can you tell me what is the reason of such behaviour of my project?
Is there any way to fix that?

A: You should install packages using bower install command:
# installs the project dependencies listed in bower.json
$ bower install

Pretty Green Presents : Andy Bennett Acoustic Set
On Friday 10th February Andy Bennett will be playing an acoustic set from 6pm in our Carnaby Street store.
Known not only for his frequent gigging but also his work with Ocean Colour Scene with whom he performed and recorded with as second guitarist, bass player and occasional drummer, Andy is a truly versatile artist.
In October 2015 Bennett went solo and released successful singles 'Hole in the Road' and 'Drift Away'. His latest solo album 'Thinkin' Drinkin' Singin'' is a beguiling collection of lovingly-wrought songs that are a blend of both the newly-minted and honed versions of tracks that Andy has been developing over time.
"I've lived with some of these songs for a while, this was just the right time to record them. I'm really pleased with how it's turned out, it has a real sense of reality to it. I'm pleased with the version of 'Old Pair Of Jeans' too, I didn't get to sing on the last version so thought I should do my own." - Andy Bennett
Head to our Carnaby Street store next Friday 10th February, for an acoustic set and a look at our new Black Label collection.
