From A to B and Back Again. Given that "A" is "Andy," what might count as a suitable "B"? In the context of the book of Warhol's "philosophy" bearing that subtitle, it was literal: the Factory superstar Brigid Berlin and Interview magazine editor Bob Colacello, the other halves of the conversations which provided much of the book's raw material. In the context of the Whitney's large-scale retrospective of Warhol's work, which borrows that title, it might be understood as something like "whatever Andy liked": the constant relay between Andy and the individuals and objects he gave the peculiar glamour called "Warhol" to and which in turn sustained his outrageous productivity, a tight cycle which spun until his body broke down, as all machines do, on February 22, 1987. But here, in what follows, I should like to read "B," perhaps perversely, as "belief." Because "belief"—as both a problem and a kind of pleasure—is what is tested by our present topic, at once the most singular and most typical object of Andy's massive body of work, the eight-hour film Empire (1965).
Before getting to what Empire attests to, and how it goes about doing this, I must attempt to describe what exactly it is, since writing on this simplest of films, from the earliest criticism to the most recent, has tended to traffic in misrepresentations or worse. It is, by this point, widely known that it is a very long shot of the Empire State Building; more accurately, it consists of ten shots of equal duration and identical framing, each running the full length of a 1,000-foot roll of 16mm film. Its duration is somewhat regularly extended, or shifted to account for more of the day than is there. Parker Tyler, for example, writes that "the sun is allowed to take all of eight hours to go down and come up" when, in fact, the film covers a period from roughly 8pm to 1am: the additional hours which stretch its running time past eight hours exist only when it is shown at its intended rate of 16 frames per second, as is the case with all of Warhol's early silent films from 1963-65. In any event, there is decidedly not a sunrise. Also typical is some variation of the claim, as one recent academic text has it, that the film consists of "the incessant repetition of what is essentially the same photogram"—put more plainly, that it consists of eight hours in which "nothing happens." This latter is, to my mind, the most odd and troubling of the inaccuracies circling Empire. For while it's true that the longest passage, running for slightly less than six of the film's eight hours, consists of frames close enough that it would be impossible to say, if presented with two chosen at random, whether they had come from the 2nd hour or the 6th—though this ignores the effect produced by the mechanics of 16mm projection, which refines the minimal rhythms of Warhol's silkscreen paintings to an exquisite level of subtlety—the flattening of the entire film into this visual drone obscures not only its humour and its graphic connection with Warhol's paintings of the same era, but also its most surprising qualities, its early psychedelic grandeur and its singular mixture of melancholy and joy.
What I found happened most was that the perspective of the building kept reversing itself, so that instead of a solid contour I seemed to be looking at a hollowed-out volume, as if I were seeing a cutaway of interior space. When that happened, I would try in vain to turn concave back to convex, to get the building to become a solid exterior again. I'd stare at the lights on the right side of the image, the ones whose bottom edge, in correct perspective, should be moving away from me, into space, to delineate the west side of the tower. But when that edge appeared to move toward me, making me look into the shape, I couldn't trick my eye into correcting the image to get it to read again as the solid form of the familiar building.
This flickering between the illusionist presence which photography takes for granted—that a photograph of a building will look like that building—and a quality which passes through the flattened charm of Warhol's early blotted drawings to arrive at something else entirely, a groundless indeterminacy which is, so far as I know, singular within the whole of Warhol's output (the Shadow paintings, if looked at just so, might approach it), draws Empire towards an unexpected point: the early days of Cubism, of the "reversible cubes" painted by Braque at Estaque in 1908 and Picasso at Horta in 1909. Though a full reckoning with the implications of this connection is beyond the scope of the present essay, I offer it briefly as a rejoinder to a point which is implicit in the conventional wisdom which takes Empire as inevitably an object of boredom: I mean the assumption that its composition could not possibly sustain a viewer's interest for eight hours, an assumption with which I simply cannot agree. I found its visual activity, the slipperiness with which it continued to elude my setting the composition into place, only grew as the hours went on. The attempts at describing the work done by its composition included in this paragraph do not begin to scratch the surface of all that it does as a picture, at once in stillness and in motion.
And then, suddenly, the lights go off. That the final 70 minutes of Empire transpire in almost total darkness—a near-black field punctuated by the metronomic tip of the Met Life building and the ember-glow of the floodlights, plus a handful of stray dots of lights scattered throughout the "background" (given the absolute flatness of the image during this "darkness" movement, this seems the wrong word, though it remains possible to conceive the depth of urban space)—is hardly remarked upon in nearly all writing on the film. But it is finally here, in both the room for thought it clears and in its particular visual events, that Empire most convincingly offers itself as a film which equally demands and rewards viewing it attentively, ardently, but remember, not seriously, from start to finish.
1. Several years before Warhol (and later Paul Morrissey) began producing outright parodies of Hollywood "types"—the Western (Lonesome Cowboys, 1968), the Surf Movie (San Diego Surf, 1968), the Romance (Blue Movie, 1969), etc.—this dramatic plunge into darkness gives Empire a cleanly drawn three-act structure, as the anticipation of the night gives way first to the weirdness of perception within it and finally to the unnerving sense that something has gone on well past its end, that some exit has been terminally missed, which makes the narrative innovations of the New Hollywood seem tame in comparison.
2. It is here that the importance of the material, the "incessant repetition of what is essentially the same photogram," becomes most readily apparent: left with only the minor variations of near-black which cheaply processed 16mm film draws out of the night, the proximity of Empire to the screenprinted paintings flooding out of the Factory during this period clicks into perfect focus. I am inclined to say that this passage of Empire marks the horizon to which the endlessly iterated Elvises and Marilyns, the piled-up Disasters, the overstocked Cokes and Campbells, were all directed toward, a horizon which Ad Reinhardt—an artist Warhol confessed his considerable affection for—sought too over the last 14 years of his life. In the absence of any figure to hold one's attention, as in Reinhardt's Black Paintings, there is only the pleasure of believing that one can sense the finest of differences, a pleasure which one has nearly 70,000 opportunities to experience during these 70 minutes.
3. The emptiness which this sense of impossibly fine-grained difference opens onto is what I take Andy to have had in mind when he said, "Then I realized that existence itself is nothing and I felt better," or, more elaborately, "Apparently, most people love watching the same basic thing, as long as the details are different. But I'm just the opposite: if I'm going to sit and watch the same thing I saw the night before, I don't want it to be essentially the same—I want it to be exactly the same. Because the more you look at the same exact thing, the more the meaning goes away, and the better and emptier you feel." Though the Factory crew's taste ran to uppers rather than hallucinogens, the interest in stripping away meaning which Andy, in his typically diffident way, gets at here is, to my mind, an expression of the psychedelic '60s which has aged more compellingly than much of what was produced by his LSD-gobbling counterparts on the West Coast. To sit and watch nothing change for 70 minutes is, even more than the shrill terror of the enormous Orange Car Crash or the glib acceptance of the Skulls of the mid-'70s, the perfection of the memento mori à la Andy. It is, perhaps, worth remembering that "death," along with "the diminishing returns on underwear" and "that people are still pregnant," was one of the few things he averred in the Philosophy that he simply couldn't believe.


Which Makes Him a Bullerina?
If you've ever watched the PBR, you'll have to admit that those bulls are super athletes and can move in phenomenal ways. I can't say I've ever seen one do a canter pirouette, but I bet they could do it.
Not quite a ballerina, but he's getting there.
Add some impulsion to this picture, and we might be approaching a First Level frame.
Chemaine gave me some new tools that have really helped change things over the past few days. My new focus is to shift Izzy over to the outside rein by using my inside leg and seat aid. It wasn't that I haven't been working with the outside rein, but I was more intent on getting some inside bend rather than pushing him to the outside rein. I think inside bend and being on the outside rein can be two totally different things.
Getting an inside bend with the inside rein can be an end in itself meaning there is no corresponding outside rein. I've done this with Speedy plenty as we school the shoulder in. Sometimes, he simply refuses to let go of (or soften) to the inside left rein, so I will drop the outside rein completely, and over bend him to the inside while driving him forward down the long side until he gives to that rein.
For the last few weeks I've done something similar with Izzy. I've bent him to the inside as we spiraled down to a smaller and smaller circle until he made the circle without any tension on the inside rein.
It's a subtle mental shift to leave the inside rein alone in order to focus on the outside rein. My job is now to be very firm and supportive with that outside rein without letting Izzy drift out or be counter bent. This is where my seat and legs come into play. If I use too much inside leg, I will push him out so it's important to keep my outside leg and rein there to say not out this door.
The argument: I don't want to go forward and soften - forward OR soft, but not both.
We had a bit of an argument yesterday that included the biggest rear he has offered. It all started because he didn't really want to work and was behind my leg. When I closed my outside aids and put my inside leg on to say bend around it, he went up instead of forward. While that was certainly not the right answer, I liked that he knew drifting sideways wasn't an option. The correct answer would have been to push forward with the inside hind and give to the outside rein.
A few moments after that discussion, he launched straight forward into a huge bolt. Again, that wasn't the right answer, but at least he went forward instead of up. And again, I know that he was just trying to figure out the easiest way, meaning least amount of work, to do what I was asking.
After getting told quite sternly that rearing up and bolting forward were not the correct choices, he finally got the answer right. There was still a fair amount of tension in his neck, but by using Chemaine's strategy of compressing his stride with the outside rein and asking him to soften to it with the inside leg really started working.
I held that outside rein firmly until he gave, and then I softened and asked for a slightly bigger stride. We did it over and over down the long sides, across the diagonal, and while doing 20-meter circles. While this softening exercise is about getting more throughness at the trot, the effects can also be seen in the canter. Izzy can now pick up the canter both directions without exploding. Mostly.
Using both reins to keep his shoulders straight.
Chemaine suggested that I ask him to compress and soften right before the canter aid. He now understands the aid (mostly) and can pick up the canter more or less when I ask. I have to be very aware of keeping his shoulders even between my aids, and especially while tracking right, I have to make sure I keep even weight in both hands until he softens to the outside rein.
Left is all about softening the outside rein.
I think that in another couple of weeks, the canter departure buttons will be pretty firmly installed, and we can start finessing and improving the quality of the trot/canter transition. He's been an interesting horse to school because he's not nearly as linear in his development as Speedy. Izzy can already do some of the movements from Intro all the way to Second Level. I feel like we just need to continue building his foundation, and before I know it, he'll be wowing me with all he can do.
You two have made so much progress in the past year. How fun!

India mentor Ravi Shastri is giving careful consideration to pundits in his nation of origin, blaming his depreciators for "shooting duds" in front of the Boxing Day Test in the meantime he endeavored to elucidate a bewildering scorn that has Indian fans confounded.
Shastri and commander Virat Kohli confronted noteworthy analysis after Australia won the second Test in Perth by 146 hurries to level the arrangement. India's choice to choose Umesh Yadav as a fourth fast to supplant harmed spinner Ravichandran Ashwin reverse discharges severely when man of the match Nathan Lyon asserted eight wickets for the match to turn Australia to triumph.
Numerous pundits were bewildered India had neglected left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja — a circumstance Shastri needed to clear up on Sunday when he uncovered the all-rounder had been fighting soreness subsequent to having an infusion in his shoulder.
The confrontational mentor additionally snapped back at his faultfinders, including previous captain Sunil Gavaskar who said India's ongoing history of "choice bungles" would put Shastri and Kohli in the terminating line if Australia proceeded to win the arrangement.
"When you're a huge number of miles away it's anything but difficult to shoot duds," Shastri told journalists. "They're excessively far away. We're in the southern half of the globe.
"So when you take a gander at Perth, we felt that he (Jadeja) was perhaps 60-70 percent fit and that we would not like to chance that in Perth. On the off chance that he was 80 percent fit here (in Melbourne), he will play.
"He had taken an infusion even in India yet he played household cricket after that. It took longer than we expected, thus we must be cautious.
Indian supporter Harsha Bhogle called the disclosure "irritating" on Twitter.
Notwithstanding, Shastri's dull reactions gave a bigger number of inquiries than answers, as per some cricket observers. Numerous reports in the Indian media guaranteed the mentor negated Kohli, in light of the fact that the skipper said before the Perth Test the consideration of four seamers was absolutely a direct result of the conditions in the West Australian capital.
Kohli said regardless of whether Ashwin was completely fit the group would almost certainly have gone into the match without a forefront spinner since it was sure the pitch would suit the quick men more.
Be that as it may, if the genuine purpose for the four-pronged pace assault was on the grounds that Jadeja wasn't fit enough to supplant Ashwin instead of a deep longing to utilize four quicks, at that point the inquiry remains: Why India didn't play left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav?
That the BCCI didn't make reference to Jadeja's wellness issues before the second Test makes the puzzle considerably more profound, as indicated by ESPN Cricinfo's Sidharth Monga.
"At the point when the BCCI conveyed a media discharge with a wellness release on eve of the Perth Test, it did exclude Jadeja's status," Monga composed. "In spite of rehashed request about wellness status of constantly, the BCCI media the executives neglected to make this circumstance known.
Additionally noted was the way that in spite of purportedly not being fit enough to play, as indicated by Shastri, Jadeja was as yet chosen in the 13-man squad and invested noteworthy measures of energy in the Optus Stadium turf as a substitute defender in Perth.
"All the more strangely, Jadeja, in spite of the damage, was effectively engaged with the plan of things. Since arriving in Australia, he played the solitary practice diversion against Cricket Australia XI, rocked the bowling alley 11 overs however didn't bat, knocked down some pins vigorously in the training sessions, went ahead as substitute defender for a total of 45 overs in the two Tests joined, was named in the 13-part squad for the Perth Test, and was handling in the profound, belting out exact tosses," an article in the Indian Express said.
A similar article likewise thrown uncertainty over the conflicting clarifications for not playing a spinner being gushed by Kohli and Shastri.
"Kohli had plainly referenced that it was the conditions that incited the four-pacers-no-spinner system, while Shastri continued beholding on Jadeja's wellness, saying that 'it was their solitary predicament' before the Perth Test," the article said.
"It's not the first occasion when that they have negated each other's sentiments.
Monga said the blended messages from India's skipper and mentor insinuated a disturbing issue in the Indian camp and addressed how Jadeja's wellbeing could fall apart in Australia when he hadn't yet played a Test.
"In what ought to be a genuine inquiry against how the players' wounds are overseen, Shastri proceeded to uncover Jadeja had in truth not been at 100 percent when he loaded onto the trip to Australia," Monga composed.
"India's choices and damage the board have both been quarrelsome for some time now. India's last screw up was to play Ashwin when he was not completely fit in Southampton. This time it has come to damage the board.
The BCCI issued an announcement after Shastri's clarification for Jadeja's nonattendance, saying the 30-year-old was fit when he left India yet whined of shoulder soreness while playing the warm-up amusement against the CA XI in Sydney before the primary Test in Adelaide.
The problem gets even murkier. While Shastri said Jadeja was experiencing his shoulder damage in India, his local mentor at Saurashtra, Sitanshu Kotak, countered that by guaranteeing the left-arm tweaker was fine when he left for Australia.
"There was no wellness issue at all when he (Jadeja) was playing for Saurashtra. Neither there was any solidness which you are discussing. Had there been any solidness or any damage he would have not played Ranji Trophy, or possibly he would have let us know," Kotak disclosed to The Indian Express.
As indicated by the BCCI's announcement, Jadeja got an infusion in India on November 2. He at that point enhanced to the point he had the capacity to play for Saurashtra without distress, yet grumbled of an erupt subsequent to contacting down in Australia.
Ashwin stays in a race against time to play at the MCG with India additionally weighing up whether to quick track pace-knocking down some pins all-rounder Hardik Pandya into its XI.
The world's No. 1 positioned Test group asserted singular triumphs in England and South Africa this year however lost both arrangement and will be urgent to maintain a strategic distance from a rehash of that result in Australia.
"Third time fortunate. That is all I'll state," Shastri joked.
"Rarely you discover a group nowadays when they travel abroad where it's 1-1 of every an arrangement with two matches to go.

The Presumption of Decency
Edward Glaeser - Cambridge, Massachusetts
As heard on The Bob Edwards Show , September 21, 2012
All those aggressive drivers, dreadful waiters, and clueless politicians may not be as terrible as we think. Instead of letting hatred cloud his judgment, economist Edward Glaeser says he prefers to see others as decent people doing the best they can.
https://thisibelieve.org/audio/TIB_Glaeser.mp3
I believe in the presumption of decency.
While I like to think of myself as being as rational as an economist should be, I can get a little miffed at minor offenses that somehow appear to me, momentarily, as great villainy. In some of my more embarrassing moments, I've come to see law-abiding and therefore slow cab drivers as violators of the basic standards of taxicab decency, which, in my haste, I have convinced myself demand utterly break-neck speed. While my retribution may be limited to cutting their tips from 15 to 13.25 percent, I have then spent the next hour furious at the cab driver, his dispatcher, his country of origin, and pretty much anything else in my way.
Sadly, I have also privately vilified editors who have rejected my research, restaurants that haven't taken my reservations, and even politicians who have had the audacity to push policies that I oppose. This is the type of folly that can be avoided with the presumption of decency.
Academics can be a little arrogant, and I am certainly among those who are quite comfortable thinking that I am right and that someone else is wrong. But it is one thing to think that someone else is misled and another to think that they are evil. We don't hate the merely annoying or the purely pathetic. Hatred starts by believing someone to be a villain without decency. And hatred is a pretty good emotion to avoid. It is personally painful to hate. Hatred clouds our judgment and can lead us to make spiteful decisions that do no one any good.
There is a personal value — the presumption of decency — which counteracts the tendency to let hatred befuddle our reason. If we hold tightly to the view that people around us are as decent as ourselves, trying, like us, to muddle honorably through life, it is harder to turn them into villains and to turn ourselves into creatures of irrational judgment. Besides, I'm certainly no more decent than most of mankind.
The presumption of decency is not naiveté. Instead, it requires a certain amount of realism. If you expect perfection, you will spend your days being furious at irresponsible teenage babysitters and equally irresponsible politicians. A better approach is to recognize human frailty and to be generous in our judgments. Today's political dialogues could particularly benefit from the recognition that both parties are led by imperfect but not terrible people, whose mistaken policies are more often the result of error than evil.
I don't always succeed in presuming the decency of others, but I do my best. Like most people, I'm pretty flawed but trying to be decent, and I'm trying to believe the same about others.
Edward Glaeser is a professor of economics at Harvard where his research focuses on urban growth, and the role of cities in fostering and transmitting ideas. Glaeser is the author of Triumph of the City: How Our Greatest Invention Makes Us Richer, Smarter, Greener, Healthier, and Happier (2011, The Penguin Press).

Q: Convert jQuery to plain JavaScript How do I convert this jQuery code to plain JavaScript?
$("#txtTestNumbersOnlyRegex").keyup(function () {
  var newValue = $(this).val().replace(/[^0-9]/g,'');
  $(this).val(newValue);
});

A: Simply as below
document.querySelector('#txtTestNumbersOnlyRegex').onkeyup = function() {
    var newValue = this.value.replace(/[^0-9]/g, '');
    this.value = newValue;
}

Update: With Angular
// app.module.ts
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { HelloComponent } from './hello.component';

@NgModule({
  imports:      [ BrowserModule, FormsModule ],
  declarations: [ AppComponent, HelloComponent ],
  bootstrap:    [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule { }

// app.component.html
<input type="text" [(ngModel)]="value" (keyup)="replacer(value)">

// app.component.ts
import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: [ './app.component.css' ]
})
export class AppComponent  {
  name = 'Angular 4';

  text: string;

  replacer(value: string) {
    this.text = value.replace(/[^0-9]/g, '');
  }
}

Here is the example code

A: One possible Jquery->JS conversion,

document.getElementById('txtTestNumbersOnlyRegex').addEventListener("keyup", function() {
    var newValue = this.value.replace(/[^0-9]/g, '');
    this.value = newValue;
});
 <input type="text" id="txtTestNumbersOnlyRegex" />

For angular: grab your input element like this

Das Sparkassen-Finanzzentrum Erfurt ist aus ein mehreren Gebäuden bestehendes Büro- und Verwaltungsensemble mit ergänzenden Einrichtungen in der thüringischen Landeshauptstadt. Es befindet sich im Viertel Brühl des Stadtteils Brühlervorstadt und wird im Osten von der Melanchthonstraße, im Norden von der Gorki- und zur Südseite von der Bonifaciusstraße begrenzt. Der Komplex liegt 220 Meter südlich des Theaterneubaus, 110 Meter südwestlich des Brühler Gartens, rund 190 Meter westlich der Alten Oper und ist über die Straßenbahnlinien 2 und 4 mit ihrer gemeinsamen Haltestelle Sparkassen-Finanzzentrum/Benaryspeicher in der Brühler Straße in das Netz des öffentlichen Personennahverkehrs eingebunden. Die über die Bonifaciusstraße anzufahrende Tiefgarage Sparkassen-Finanzzentrum ist für den Individualverkehr geöffnet.

Zwischen 1992 und 1997 entstand das Zentrum nach Plänen von Rüdiger Weingart sowie des Architekturbüros Schweger + Partner auf einem 18.994 m² messenden Grundstück – dem Gelände der ehemaligen Samenzüchterei Benary. Die Baukosten beliefen sich auf 70.000.000 Euro. Man integrierte die auf dem Grundstück befindlichen historisch wertvollen Backsteinbauten unter Beibehaltung ihres solitärhaften Charakters in die gestalterischen Überlegungen. Es handelt sich um den 1887 errichteten Benary-Speicher, der seit 2001 das Druckereimuseum und das Schaudepot beherbergt sowie um das ehemalige Verwaltungsgebäude des Zuchtbetriebs von 1890. Der Entwurf der Architekten zielte in Analogie der charakteristischen Stadthäuser aus der Gründerzeit auf das Prinzip einer offenen Baustruktur. Diese Typologie entspricht der Thematik "Häuser im innerstädtischen Park", wobei die Proportionen des Umfeldes aufgenommen und auf die zu bebauende Fläche projiziert werden. Gleichzeitig ist das Sparkassen-Finanzzentrum aber auch als "Stadt in der Stadt" konzipiert. Insgesamt besitzt es oberirdisch 33.978 m² und unterirdisch zusätzliche 15.020 m² nutzbare Brutto-Grundfläche.

Die drei Bauherren waren die Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen, der Sparkassen- und Giroverband Hessen-Thüringen sowie die SV SparkassenVersicherung. Des Weiteren sind in den Gebäuden heutzutage die Thüringer Aufbaubank, die Landesbausparkasse, die LBS Immobilien und eine Filiale der Sparkasse Mittelthüringen angesiedelt. Für Lehrgangsteilnehmer der angegliederten Sparkassen-Akademie Hessen-Thüringen stehen Unterrichtsräume, Büros und ein Boardinghouse (auch von anderen Mitarbeitern des Konzerns zu nutzen) zur Verfügung. Eine fünfgeschossige gläserne Rotunde fungiert als Zentralbau des Ensembles. Sie beherbergt das Konferenzzentrum der Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe und darüber hinaus gemeinschaftliche Einrichtungen wie beispielsweise ein Kasino, eine Cafeteria, die Küche sowie Konferenz- und Gästespeiseräume.

Considering all of the TV commercials that have been promoting it in the past year, today's news regarding Forge of Empires may come as no surprise to you. InnoGames announced today that their leading social MMORTS' North American playerbase grew by a staggering 70% in 2015. This statistic is said to be "second only to the growth of the Russian Forge of Empires community."
A new infographic with even more player statistics was released alongside the news. Only 25% of the playerbase is on iOS, whereas 36% are on Android and a surprising 39% are still in-browser. The most popular Great Buildings are Castel Del Monte, the Cathedral of St. Basil, and the Notre Dame. The average US player sent 118 messages to other players, fought with other players 181 times, and went on 1074 quests over the course of 2015.

Dred Scott v. Sandford
Following is the case brief for Dred Scott v. Sandford, Supreme Court of the United States, (1857)
Case Summary of Dred Scott v. Sandford:
Dred Scott was a slave who moved to a free state with the consent of his then master (Emerson).
When Emerson died, Scott tried to purchase both the freedom of himself and his family, but the estate refused. Scott then filed an action in a federal court which applied Missouri law (the state where Scott was purchased and currently lived).
After the court found for the estate, Scott petitioned to the Supreme Court
The Court found that Scott was a slave who was not afforded the rights and protections under the Constitution regardless of whether or not he temporarily lived in a free state with the intent to become a permanent citizen.
Dred Scott v. Sandford Case Brief
Dred Scott was born a slave in Virginia. He was sold to Army Major John Emerson in Missouri, in 1830. Scott accompanied Emerson on multiple assignments in territories which outlawed slavery. Emerson allowed Scott to marry and left Scott and Scott's wife in Wisconsin and traveled to Louisiana on assignment. Emerson then married Eliza Sandford. Shortly after, Emerson had Scott and Scott's wife travel to Louisiana to serve Emerson's family. Emerson died in 1843. Scott attempted to purchase freedom from slavery for himself and his family but Eliza Sandford, after inheriting Emerson's estate, refused. In response, Scott filed suit against the executor of Emerson's estate, John Sandford. The federal district court relied upon Missouri law, finding Scott remained a slave.
The Missouri Supreme Court upheld Scott's slavery finding for Stanford. The Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the state court's decision and Scott petitioned for certiorari to the United States Supreme Court.
Is a person who was born a slave and later taken by his owner to live in a free state with the intent of becoming a permanent resident considered a citizen of the United States including the rights and privileges of the Constitution? No.
Individuals of African descent and their descendants present in the United States are neither considered citizens of the United States, nor entitled to Constitutional rights and protections.
The Supreme Court affirmed the lower court's decision.
To determine whether persons of African descent, currently free or not, are citizens entitled to constitutional protections, the analysis must start by considering the characterization of such person by the framers. The class of persons considered includes those whose ancestors are of African race and imported to the U.S. and sold as slaves.
At the time the Constitution was drafted, such persons were viewed as an inferior race not entitled to constitutional rights and freedoms. The Court held that regardless of its opinion on the classification, their role is not to judge the policy but interpret the application of the Constitution. The Court stated that just because someone is a citizen of a certain state, they are not entitled to all the same protections as a U.S. citizen.
The Court continues to contrast African American with Native Americans who have always been considered free and independent residents and states that the former have never been provided the same consideration and status.
The Court applies the above analysis to Scott's case stating that although the language "all men are created equal" was constructed by the framers, their prevailing view of African Americans at that time was negative. As a result, it could not follow that such a class was intended to be part of the founding language.
In addition, persons of African descent were brought to the U.S. and sold as property and considered as such for several years following. Here, Scott is still considered property and a citizen of Missouri.
The Circuit Court had no jurisdiction over the claim because Scott does not have citizen rights, including the right to sue in federal court. Congressional Acts abolishing slavery where Scott had lived are unconstitutional. As a result, Scott and his family are not made free by existing in these states with the intention of permanent residence.
Concurring and Dissenting opinions:
Concurring (Wayne):
Deciding Scott's individual issue and whether the Missouri Compromise was constitutional were the only issues needing to be addressed by the Court.
Concurring (Campbell):
The overall resolution of the Majority is correct but the ruling that the Circuit Court had no jurisdiction is made in error. In addition, Scott's absence from Missouri and short residence in a free state does not make him a free man.
Concurring (Catron):
Even though slaves owned by a master become free upon the master's permanent residence in Illinois, Emerson never became a permanent resident of Illinois. In addition, the Missouri Compromise was a valid exercise of Congressional power.
Concurring (Daniel):
Circuit Court should not have heard the case because Scott is not a citizen of Missouri. Scott's status as a slave denies him the right to even bring a plea in the court system.
Concurring (Nelson):
States have a right to pass legislation regarding slaves as slaves are considered property. As such, Illinois properly passed their law outlawing slavery. However, since Emerson did not become a citizen of Illinois, Scott remained a slave.
Concurring (Grier):
The conclusion that the Missouri Compromise is unconstitutional is sufficient to decide Scott's case.
Dissenting (McLean):
Characterizing Scott as a person whose ancestors were of African descent does not equate to a lack of right to sue in court. The requirements to bring suit are not the same as those required to vote, participate in civil society. This is evidenced in the fact woman and children are able to sue in federal court. Scott's action for abatement is a trespass action (assault and wrongful imprisonment of Scott and his family) and should not be prohibited.
In establishing the Wisconsin territory, Congress expressly abolished slavery within its borders. As a result, when Scott entered the area with his master's consent, he was made a free man under the federal law.
Dissenting (Curtis):
The federal court has jurisdiction based off of diversity of citizenship as Scott was a citizen of Missouri and Sandford, a citizen of New York.
The enslavement of his parents should have no bearing on his right to sue because Scott became a free man under Illinois state law.
The Majority is incorrect in finding that Scott was still a slave when he re-entered Missouri because the state does not give proper weight to other state and federal governments which had established Scott's freedom.
Dred Scott v. Sandford expressly stated that persons of African descent were not entitled to the same constitutional rights and protections. This is because slaves were regarded as property. In addition, the Court determined that the framer's language of "all men are created equal" was not intended to include African Americans since they were regarded as property at that time as well.

The Rodney King beating: what should have done instead?
Machine_Elf June 19, 2012, 1:28pm #1
The recent death of Rodney King has revived discussion of the police-administered beating that made him famous 20+ years ago.
I can't seem to find it now, but around the time of the trial in which the involved officers were acquitted, I remember seeing a moment-by-moment narration of the entire beating video, highlighting King's repeated attempts to get to his feet, instead of laying down and putting his hands behind his head, all of this happening after King had thrown off all of the cops during an initial attempt to cuff him; in fact, the beatdown finally ends when King stops trying to get up and actually does place his hands behind his head. The jury in the original trial apparently agreed with this interpretation of events, and acquitted the officers.
So here's the debate:
Given Rodney King's substantial physical strength and his demonstrated intent to resist arrest, what, if anything, should the arresting officers have done differently that night? I'm especially curious to hear input from current or former police officers.
Gedd June 19, 2012, 1:53pm #2
Did police forces have non-leathal weapons at that point? (Besides batons, I mean).
Gedd:
Yes. Officers had used a taser on him, but he still would not comply with their commands to surrender.
Fiveyearlurker June 19, 2012, 2:23pm #4
Rodney King was a danger to those cops, and he deserved to be treated harshly for the safety of the officers at the scene.
That said, "harshly" ended quite some time before those cops started to beat a man that was clearly no longer a threat.
Fiveyearlurker:
Can you identify the point at which he ceased being a threat? He had already thrown the officers off of him once, the first time they tried to cuff him. During the beat-down, he kept trying over and over again to get up, despite repeated orders to lay down and put his hands behind his head.
Put yourself on the scene as a responding officer: this suspect keeps trying to get up, refuses to follow your instructions. He's behaving irrationally, and you suspect he may be high on PCP. How would you respond? Would you deliberately choose to wrestle with him, not knowing (yet) whether he's carrying a gun or a knife in his pocket? Would you tase him again, knowing he refused to comply after the first tasing? Or would you keep your distance, yelling your orders at him ("lay down and put your hands behind your head!"), hitting him with your baton when he refuses to comply, with your backup officers ready to shoot him if he becomes a more immediate threat (e.g. by rising to his feet and/or getting his hands on an officer)?
Like I said, I have no doubt that he was refusing to comply. The man was a danger, and a life long ass. I have shed no tears now that he is gone.
When the infamous video starts, there is a man who is already done for writhing on the ground. He tries to get up, but it looks like your average nine year old girl could take it from there and get the cuffs on him. I'm quite sure that one cop with his knee in King's back, and another putting cuffs on him, and the remaining four or so for backup could cuff him safely.
I'm guessing that had these officers known that there was a camera on them, they would have been able to pull this off without a problem. The baton hits and kicks are gratuitous; they are doing it because they can, not because they have to.
Marley23 June 19, 2012, 3:03pm #7
I think they should have used enough force to get him handcuffed instead of having four or five people club and kick the shit out of him while he was on the ground. I can't give an exact amount of force that's appropriate, but when a handful cops are dealing with an unarmed drunk, I'd say it's something less than 50 to 60 strikes with a club plus some kicks. Most of that was because they were annoyed they had to chase him and because he didn't go quietly. The frustration is understandable, but cops don't get to beat the living shit out of people just because they're annoyed.
Nars_Glinley June 19, 2012, 3:45pm #8
Couldn't 7 police officers just dogpile him and cuff him?
Typo_Negative June 19, 2012, 4:55pm #9
This seems to sum it up quite nicely.
Machine_Elf June 19, 2012, 5:10pm #10
Nars_Glinley:
It had been tried once already with four officers before the beating began:
Koon then ordered the four other LAPD officers at the scene—Briseno, Powell, Solano and Wind—to subdue and handcuff King in a manner called a "swarm", a technique that involves multiple officers grabbing a suspect with empty hands. As the officers attempted to do so, King physically resisted. King rose up, tossing Officers Powell and Briseno off his back. King then struck Officer Briseno in the chest.[18] Seeing this, Koon ordered all of the officers to fall back.
I'm not a cop, but I suspect hand-to-hand combat with a suspect is a tactic of last resort, especially if the suspect is large and/or strong; if the suspect's hands aren't under control, he could reach for a knife or a gun (his or possibly even yours). Safer for the offficer to employ melee or standoff weapons (baton or gun, respectively) until the suspect begins complying with instructions.
Here's one text-based account of the incident; here's another. King was muscular, had risen to his feet after being tased twice, and because of his bizarre behavior prior to and during the beating, the officers believed he might have been high on PCP. In short, King was someone you would not have wanted to wrestle with.
Really_Not_All_That_Bright June 19, 2012, 5:22pm #11
If beating him with batons was a viable option, so was wrestling with him. Anybody that dangerous could have taken a baton from one of the officers.
Marley23 June 19, 2012, 5:24pm #12
Machine_Elf:
Safer for the offficer to employ melee or standoff weapons (baton or gun, respectively) until the suspect begins complying with instructions.
It's always going to be safer for the cop to shoot or beat someone from a distance than deal with him personally. That's why a bad cop will Taser an elderly woman who protests a traffic ticket. (You never know, right?) That doesn't mean it's appropriate for a gang of cops to get their clubs and spend a solid minute wailing on someone who is on the ground. Next we'll hear that King kept trying to get up while being clubbed - almost as if he were trying to get away from the people who were beating him.
And I'm not sure the "swarm" thing is identical to what Nars Ginley was asking about.
because of his bizarre behavior prior to and during the beating, the officers believed he might have been high on PCP.
Because PCP makes you psychotic and gives you superhuman strength, as everybody who fell for '80s drug propaganda knows. You might think a group of cops would know better, but somehow this is supposed to be an excuse.
Cheshire_Human June 19, 2012, 6:58pm #13
Marley23:
It's been 20+ years since I've seen the video (and I'm not going looking for it now), but as I recall, it was quite obvious to me at the time that King was trying to get up because of the excess beat-down they were administering. I'd be trying desperately to get away from that, too. Given their goal of getting cuffs on him, the excessive force they were using was actually counterproductive.
ETA: In other words, what you said in your next post, right above mine.
Cheshire_Human:
I think that's what most people would do. The alternative is lying there and hoping the beating stops before you're killed. But I expect that next we'll hear that that was "resisting arrest" and the cops were obliged to keep pounding him even more.
Euphonious_Polemic June 19, 2012, 7:09pm #15
Well, if they were like Toronto police during the G7, they would have removed any identification badges from themselves, tried to confiscate any video that was taken, refused to identify each other, perjured themselves, and generally covered up any evidence of an assault.
Then they would have placed agents provocateurs into the riot crowds to make the riots bigger and more violent.
The LAPD were amateurs.
Jonathan_Chance June 19, 2012, 7:14pm #16
Just to give some perspective…
ABC News with video of the beating
There is no way that wasn't gratuitous. These are trained policemen administering a brutal beating on a nearly defenseless man (in the part of the tape at the beginning of the report his attempts to get up are disorganized and helpless). I don't believe there is any way to defend it as good policework.
I have personally seen three orderlies in a hospital subdue a large, muscular man flying on PCP. Those cops could have subdued King at almost any time and chose not to do so.
XT June 19, 2012, 7:15pm #17
Not a former police officer, nor do I play one on the Straight Dope (I DID stay at a flee bag motel on Monday, however, so perhaps that qualifies me to respond…too bad it wasn't a Holiday Inn Express though ). What they SHOULD have done, however, was to subdue the perpetrator with the least amount of violence necessary. Obviously, training 20+ years ago isn't what it is today, but still…beating the crap out of the guy was dis-recommended even way back then when dinosaurs ruled the earth. The guy was just, basically, drunk and disorderly…something that a group of cops should have been able to handle (I hadn't heard that they tried a taser on him…assuming that's true, wonder why it didn't work??).
-XT
Jake June 19, 2012, 7:35pm #18
True, but what might he have done to the officers once he was on his feet and pissed off?
Run away?
Jake:
You're asking what King would have done to the five club-wielding cops if they'd stopped beating him and let him get back to his feet? I'm going to say "not very much."


Die Casting is a metal casting technique that's exemplified by forcing liquefied metal below high pressure into a steel mold. Two hardened tool steel dies are used to produce the mold cavity that has been machined into shape and work correspondingly to an injection mold throughout the action. The metal hardens quickly after the injection then the half gets cast out from the mold. Die casting components are characterized by their distinct, smooth or rough-textured shells and dimensional regularity.
Basically, die casting create use of steel molds referred to as dies wherever melted metal is implemented hooked on with hugely high-pressure. Die casting is a capable technique that allows for a variety of stages of involution in producing from steel sinks to small toy cars. At a similar time, it still maintains complete accuracy to get an unstained outcome. The molding techniques matter a lot for the accuracy depends upon the technique used.
In die casting there are four steps concerned and it is a requirement that every section is completed totally before older to following section as a result of it permits perfection among the consequence. The die worker should make certain that the die casting machine is at the desired temperature. There are several possibilities for it to induce wrong if the die is cold when the melted metal is injected as a result of it will solidify too quickly whereas not conformist to the right form. Heating will take your time according to the dimensions of the designed cast so only if the die reaches the correct temperature the casting should begin.
In the next step, the melted metal is injected into the die and so the metal is inserted at staggeringly high, thereby it permits the metal to adapt to the mounted figure of the die, empty of the risks of a symptom or air pockets within the merchandise.
After that, the mildew is allowed to cool down and thereby the metal gets coagulated. It differs consistently with the amount of the stage. The mildew is immersed or sprayed with cold water to ease the casting prove solid, however, this happens in some cases solely. Still the hard-hitting is maintained within the mildew specified metal does not modification properties. Finally, the die opened and also the solid forged removed.
4) It's the power to deliver advanced shapes with high levels of tolerance.

For the moodboard at the top of the page, i have got a load of images, that represent London's architecture. This helps me get an idea of what i could include in my poster. I also tried to include different sorts of backgrounds to see how the buildings go with the different colours. For example i have an image of the London eye with a default background and a red-like colour, at the bottom middle of the moodboard. However as having just the buildings on their own seemed quite mainstream, so i created another moodboard with close ups of the structures and textures of- London's architecture. This then helps me develop ideas for the background.

Semi-Truck Accidents vs. Auto Accidents
Gathering and analyzing evidence is a key part of any accident investigation. Although crashes involving large commercial trucks such as semis, tractor-trailers, and big rigs differ from other car crashes in many ways, the power of high-quality evidence remains the same.
The trucking industry is regulated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and the United States Department of Transportation, and as a result, large commercial trucks are required to follow several federal regulations. Some of these regulations have the side effect of providing opportunities for additional types of evidence that can be used in personal injury lawsuits.
Evidence in Truck Accident Lawsuits
There are three main types of evidence unique to accidents involving large trucks: truck inspection reports, black box information, and high-tech devices. An attorney experienced in investigating truck accidents will collect and analyze this evidence to help create a strong personal injury case.
Truck Inspection Reports
When tractor-trailers are involved in an accident, they must have a certified truck inspector view the vehicle before it is removed from the scene. Although this report may be compiled by a state trooper, it is not included in an official accident report, which means you must ask for it separately. This inspection report will contain important information about the condition of the trailer and the truck.
Black Box Information
Many trucks are equipped with black boxes that provide a great deal of information about accidents. Black boxes can provide clues as to how fast a truck was going, when the driver applied the brakes, and how long the driver had operated without a rest period.
High-Tech Devices
There may be other high-tech devices inside the cab that could provide information about an accident. For example, many trucks are equipped with inclinometers that measure the slope at which a vehicle is traveling. On-board computers and GPS devices can also provide information that would be useful to an accident reconstruction.
Other Truck Accident Evidence
Depending on the circumstances of the truck accident, an attorney may gather a wide variety of additional evidence, including the following:
Truck driver's hours of service documentation (logbooks)
Truck driver's phone records
Truck driver's qualifications (work history, driving records, personnel file, etc.)
Dispatch instructions
Weigh station and loading dock reports
Post-collision drug and alcohol test results
Witness reports
Photos and videos of the accident scene
Traffic camera footage
Tire or gouge marks on the road
A legal team with experience in conducting investigations of truck crash scenes and aftermath is the best choice for victims of truck accidents.
Contact a Truck Accident Attorney Today
After a truck accident, you must act quickly to obtain evidence. Knowing who to contact and what documents to request can be difficult, which is why we recommend contacting an attorney as soon as possible.
If you or a loved one have been injured as a result of a truck accident, contact the Indianapolis Truck Accident Attorneys of Wilson Kehoe Winingham. The lawyers at WKW can help you get the compensation you deserve. Call 317.920.6400 or fill out an online contact form for a free, no-obligation case evaluation.

Senior U.S. Official Visits Taiwan to Commemorate 40 Years of Taiwan Relations Act
AP Photo/Chiang Ying-ying

A senior U.S. State Department official traveled to Taiwan this week to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Taiwan Relations Act in a sign of U.S. support for Taiwan.
U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State David Meale traveled to Taipei, delivering remarks at a banquet hosted by the American Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday, according to a report by Taiwanese media outlet Focus Taiwan.
Meale, the deputy assistant secretary for trade policy negotiations in the Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs, predicted U.S. and Taiwan relations would continue to prosper.
"As we ponder the anniversary of the TRA, I will take a moment to make a few predictions," he said, according to the report. "First, the relationship between the United States and Taiwan will continue both to prosper and to enhance the prosperity of those who participate in U.S.-Taiwan commercial interaction on both sides of the Pacific."
Meale also noted that Taiwan is America's 11th largest trading partner and the U.S. is Taiwan's second largest trading partner.
Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen spoke at the dinner. The visit was sure to anger China, which opposes any high-level contacts between U.S. officials and Taiwanese officials.
The Taiwan Relations Act (TRA) was signed in April 1979 by then-President Jimmy Carter after the U.S. switched diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing in the midst of the U.S.-Soviet Cold War.
The TRA provides the legal basis for unofficial diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Taiwan, however, including a U.S. commitment to provide Taiwan with self-defense capability.
Under the Trump administration, those relations have grown stronger.
The Trump Defense Department began publicizing its naval transits in the Taiwan Strait for the first time in decades in a show of support for Taiwan, as Breitbart News first exclusively reported.
The Trump State Department has approved more arms sales to Taiwan than under the Obama administration.
The Trump White House has also stepped up its rhetoric in support of Taiwan, blasting China for "Orwellian nonsense" in its demand that American airlines recognize Taiwan as part of China.
National Security Adviser John Bolton recently rebuked China after its military jets crossed the center line in the Taiwan Strait and said the "Taiwan Relations Act and our commitment are clear":
Chinese military provocations won't win any hearts or minds in Taiwan, but they will strengthen the resolve of people everywhere who value democracy. The Taiwan Relations Act and our commitment are clear. https://t.co/rPG1jLiaWY
— John Bolton (@AmbJohnBolton) April 1, 2019
And the U.S. Congress has also passed several bills to strengthen U.S. support for Taiwan, including the Taiwan Travel Act that allows for high-level visits between the U.S. and Taiwan.
Tsai visited the U.S. last month in a visit to Hawaii where she addressed an audience at the Heritage Foundation think tank in Washington, DC, via live stream.
She said in her remarks, "Taiwan does not stand alone. The United States commitment to Taiwan is stronger than ever."
The growing support has roiled Beijing, which has stepped up its efforts to isolate Taiwan internationally. China maintains that Taiwan is part of China, not a sovereign country.
Chinese nationalists fled China in 1949 after losing a civil war with Chinese communists, and they established a new government that is today a thriving democracy. Taiwan prides itself in being the only Chinese-speaking Democratic country.
Meale said that the U.S. would "remain steadfast in all of its commitments to Taiwan, reflecting the enduring nature of our shared interests."
He also said the U.S. will continue to support the "positive trajectory of U.S.-Taiwan economic relations" and called Taiwan "a democratic success story, a reliable partner, and a force for good in the world."
Meale said it is important to continue bilateral cooperation in the areas of innovation, intellectual property rights protection, and investment.
He will spend a week in Taiwan and is scheduled to open a U.S.-Taiwan workshop on stopping digital piracy and protecting trade secrets, according to Focus Taiwan. He will also have discussions with Taiwanese officials on a range of issues related to the U.S.-Taiwan relationship.

Tinton Falls, N.J. (Monday, April 11, 2016) – Sky Blue FC of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) announced its regular season roster on Monday, trimming down to 20 players as the team wraps up the 2016 preseason. Sky Blue FC will officially open its regular season slate this Sunday when it travels west to face Seattle Reign FC.
Some key arrivals to Sky Blue FC in the past week have been Australian striker Sam Kerr and Costa Rican international Raquel Rodriguez, who the team made the second overall selection in the 2016 NWSL College Draft this past January. Kelley O'Hara will also be returning to New Jersey this week after a two-game tilt with the U.S. Women's National Team against Colombia.
Sky Blue FC will be bringing a pair of goalkeepers with it when the club heads to Seattle, with Caroline Stanley and Caroline Casey holding those two spots. Stanley was acquired via free agency at the start of the preseason, while Casey was taken by Sky Blue FC in the 2016 NWSL College Draft.
The defensive front for Sky Blue FC will once again be led by longtime captain and New Jersey native Christie Rampone, who will be joined by veterans CoCo Goodson, Kristin Grubka, Maya Hayes and O'Hara. Newcomers to the team include 2016 NWSL College Draft selection Erica Skroski and Erin Simon, who came to the club through open tryouts.
Returning from the 2015 Sky Blue FC midfield will be Shawna Gordon, Sarah Killion, Taylor Lytle and Nikki Stanton, while Ashley Nick arrived back in New Jersey during the preseason for her second stint with the club. New arrivals to the midfield are 2016 first round pick Rodriguez and Kelly Conheeney, who earned her roster spot after originally coming through open trials.
Up top will be a few familiar faces, beginning with 2015 Sky Blue FC Golden Boot winner Kerr. Tasha Kai, one of the most productive offensive players in franchise history, also returns to New Jersey this season after taking some time away from the game. Additionally, Kim DeCesare is back for a second year with Sky Blue FC, while newcomer Danielle Schulmann looks to make an immediate impact after working her way onto the roster via open tryouts.
* Forward Leah Galton is a contracted player of Sky Blue FC who will be out of market until she completes the spring semester to graduate from Hofstra University. At that time, she will be added to the team roster.


Step 1. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Cover a large baking tray with baking paper and set aside. Slice each potato into 6 wedges and pour over 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Toss to coat, sprinkle over flour and season with salt and pepper. Tip potatoes onto baking tray and bake for 20 minutes.
Step 2. Meanwhile, place the mince, diced onion, breadcrumbs, 2 cloves of crushed garlic, egg and salt and pepper into a bowl. Using clean hands, mix all ingredients together until well combined and divide into four portions.
Step 3. Shape 4 mini meatloaves. Remove the tray from the oven and push potatoes to one end. Place the mini loaves onto the tray and return to the oven for 10 minutes.
Step 4. In a bowl, mix tomato sauce and Worcestershire sauce together. Place beans into a bowl and drizzle remaining two tablespoons of oil over the beans and toss with remaining crushed garlic cloves. Remove the tray from the oven and spoon sauce over meatloaves generously. Push wedges to the centre and add the beans to the end of the tray. Bake for another 10 minutes and serve.
You can easily feed a crowd with this recipe by making it on three trays instead of one. It is fast and tasty.
We used a combination of tomato and Worcestshire sauce to top these meatloaves but you could also use barbecue sauce.
You can switch out the green beans in this recipe for capsicum slices, zucchini or even cauliflower.
This One pan caprese pasta is a delicious Italian twist on pasta and is full fresh flavours.
If you love creamy pasta the this One pan chicken alfredo is a great meal that the whole family will love.
This bake-in-the-oven One pan chicken and sage dinner is easy and everyone loves chicken.
If you want all the flavours of lasagne but can't be bothered to go through the whole ordeal, you should try this One pan lasagne.
The fresh lemon flavours really shine through in this One pan lemon chicken fettucini.
They don't come much simpler than this delicious One pan roasted salmon and bread salad. It's packed full of tomatoey flavour.
Do you need an easy desssert? Try this One pan chocolate cake for dessert.

This is a beautiful vintage / antique Trifari pair of clip on earrings. They named this set "Parisienne" and it appeared in Trifari's 1952 advertisement "the enchanted touch Jewels by Trifari.

They are made up of beautiful baguette and round rhinestones along with simulated pearls all glue set in a golden toned Trifanium. They would be great to add to your collection or to wear!
Patent Info: The patent that was eventually granted for these earrings was patent # 1662,212 granted to Alfred Philippe for Trifari, Krussman & Fishel Inc. on March 18, 1952.
Condition: There is the normal wear to the golden toned Trifanium and while all rhinestones and pearls are present - I can tell some have been glued back in at some point - still great condition for jewelry that is over 60 years old!

Our latest brand new food is actually a beverage. Vernors Ginger Soda was invented by pharmacist James Vernor in 1866 in Detroit, MI. Legend has it that before being called off to war, Vernor combined several tasty and unique ingredients in a barrel to age. When Vernor returned home, he was amazed to discover the delicious product that resulted.
The Vernor family originally sold the company in 1966. The brand is now part of the Dr. Pepper-Snapple Group.
"Vernor's 1-calorie", introduced in 1962, later became Diet Vernors.
Vernors Diet Ginger Soda is highly carbonated, has a light, golden caramel color, and a smooth, rich taste. Comments from our taste panel included "refreshing", "sharp ginger flavor but not overpowering", "fizzy w/creamy aftertaste", "holiday tradition that I'd drink all year", and "I'd go out of my way to find this ginger ale".
Some people enjoy drinking Vernors hot to cure stomachache.
Vernor's dropped its apostrophe and is known as "Vernors".
A Boston Cooler is comprised of Vernors Ginger Soda and vanilla ice cream.

Why is there no "fizz" in Vernors ginger ale? I had not had Vernor's Ginger ale in a long time, but as I recall it was carbonated .My recent purchases have been "flat".

When I was in that bar in 1995, the person showing me what to do said to just hit the triple twenty. I said, "Where's that?" The guy walked to the board and pointed to it. In my third turn, with my third handful of darts, I threw all of them into the triple twenty.
It should come as no surprise that earlier this year, shortly after knocking the number three ranked player in the world, Ronnie Baxter, out of the Ladbrokes World Darts Championship, New Hampshire's Ray Carver signed a three-year sponsorship deal with Unicorn. It's no secret that Carver is the American darter that the British have been expecting to break into the big time.
They know his name. At least you can bet that Mick Manning and Dennis Priestley do. Carver dispatched them en route to the stage, from the floor, at last year's Las Vegas Desert Classic. You can bet that Denis Ovens and Adrian Gray do too. Carver moved through both of them to reach the top eight.
And believe me, Taylor most definitely wasn't talking about a bottle of Budweiser, although Carver's as handy with one of them as he is with his darts. What Taylor was taking about was Carver's confidence and courage at the line.
Recently former world champion Bob Anderson was posed a similar interview question. "Of the American darters that you have seen… who do you think has the best chance of being competitive in the PDC?" His answer: Ray Carver.
And of course, on April 1 of this year in Marlborough, Massachusetts, Carver cruised through a stellar 250-man field (throwing four maximums and legs of 13, 14, 15 and 18 darts in the final) to book his place on stage at the Mohegan Sun Casino and Resort.
No, it should come as no surprise that Ray Carver will be representing America at the first World Series of Darts.
And it should come as no surprise if he is still standing when the final dart is thrown.
