Q: Create distinct type for class with specific member variable value Given a class that have some enum that defines a type of the class, like in following example:
class Fruit {
 public:

   enum class FruitType {
      AppleType = 0,
      OrangeType = 1,
      BananaType = 2,
   };
   Fruit(FruitType type) : type_(type) {}
   FruitType fruit_type() const { return type_; }

 private:
   FruitType type_;
};

and a class derived from it that shares the same enum:
class DriedFruit : public Fruit {
 public:
  // Some Dried specific methods.
};

Would it be possible to somehow define a distinct types for Fruit and DriedFruit with each of the specific enum values:
class Apple   // Fruit with FruitType = AppleType
class Orange  // Fruit with FruitType = OrangeType
class Banana  // Fruit with FruitType = BananaType
class DriedApple   // DriedFruit with FruitType = AppleType
class DriedOrange  // DriedFruit with FruitType = OrangeType
class DriedBanana  // DriedFruit with FruitType = BananaType

so that 3 classes Apple, Orange and Banana are distinct types, and 3 classes DriedApple, DriedOrange, DriedBanana are distinct types.
My question is somewhat similar to How to define different types for the same class in C++, except that I want to explicitly store information about class type as enum member variable in the class, and to have a common base class for all distinct types.
What would be the most efficient way to do that?
EDIT:
The main use case is as follows - in my applications, there are certain methods that only expect Apple as an input, or only expect Orange as an input, and many methods that do not care which fruit it is.
It feels unsafe/obscure to pass Fruit to method that only expects Apple, at the same time there are many methods that do not care which type it is so having 3 distinct types is not a good option either.
The main workflow is as follows:
build a Fruit from some input parameters, then
pass it around and process it as a Fruit, then at some point
if it is an Apple, convert from Fruit to concrete Apple type, and further process it, restricting it type to an Apple from that point onward.

A:
What would be the most efficient way to do that?

You can make use of non-type template parameters:
enum class FruitType {
   AppleType = 0,
   OrangeType = 1,
   BananaType = 2,
};

template <FruitType F>
class Fruit {
 public:
   FruitType fruit_type() const { return F; }
};

using Apple = Fruit<FruitType::AppleType>;
using Banana = Fruit<FruitType::BananaType>;

Whether or not you need an actual base class is up to you. It may be also sufficient to provide template specializations for certain FruitTypes.

A: Is this what you would like to do?
enum class FruitType
{
    AppleType = 0,
    OrangeType = 1,
    BananaType = 2,
};

class Fruit
{
public:

    virtual FruitType fruit_type() const = 0;
};

class Apple: public Fruit
{
public:

    FruitType fruit_type() const override { return FruitType::AppleType; }
};

class Orange : public Fruit
{
public:

    FruitType fruit_type() const override { return FruitType::OrangeType; }
};

class Banana : public Fruit
{
public:

    FruitType fruit_type() const override { return FruitType::BananaType; }
};

int main()
{
    Fruit *somefruit = new Apple;

    std::cout << "Is Apple? " << std::boolalpha << (somefruit->fruit_type() == FruitType::AppleType) << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Is Orange? " << std::boolalpha << (somefruit->fruit_type() == FruitType::OrangeType) << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Is Banana? " << std::boolalpha << (somefruit->fruit_type() == FruitType::BananaType) << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

Prints:
Is Apple? true
Is Orange? false
Is Banana? false

A: Your question is quite abstract regarding the requirements.
Though your edited clarifications direct a way

The main use case is as follows - in my applications, there are certain methods that only expect Apple as an input, or only expect Orange as an input, and many methods that do not care which fruit it is.

I'm thinking of a completely different system based on interfaces and tag interfaces
(see the full Live Demo).
Define a common interface for all fruits first:
// A basic interface common for all fruits
struct IFruit {
  virtual ~IFruit() {}
  virtual std::string category() const = 0;
  virtual std::string common_name() const = 0;
  virtual std::string botanical_name() const = 0;
};

// An overload for the output operator is just nifty
std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, const IFruit& fruit) {
    os << "Category       : " << fruit.category() << std::endl;
    os << "Common Name    : " << fruit.common_name() << std::endl;
    os << "Botanical Name : " << fruit.botanical_name() << std::endl;
    return os;
}

Define tag interfaces to distinguish your particular types (Apples, Oranges):
// Tag interfaces to distinguish (not necessarily empty)
struct IApple : public IFruit {
  virtual ~IApple() {}
};

struct IOrange : public IFruit {
  virtual ~IOrange () {}
};

These should require to implement the IFruit interface implicitly.

Now you can provide an abstract base class, which implements the IFruit interface.
This base class is abstract in the sense the constructor function is hidden from the public scope, and needs to be called by an inheriting class constructor:
// Abstract base class implementation
template<class TagInterface>
class FruitBase : public TagInterface {
protected:
      std::string category_;
      std::string common_name_;
      std::string botanical_name_;

      FruitBase ( const std::string& category
                , const std::string& common_name
                , const std::string botanical_name)
          : category_(category), common_name_(common_name)
          , botanical_name_(botanical_name)
      {}

public:
      virtual ~FruitBase () {}
      virtual std::string category() const { return category_; }
      virtual std::string common_name() const { return common_name_; }
      virtual std::string botanical_name() const { return botanical_name_; }
};

Add additional tag interfaces as needed:
 struct IDriedApple : public IApple {
     virtual ~IDriedApple() {}
     virtual int rest_humidity() const = 0;
 };

Now you can create your concrete implementations with quite narrow class defintions:
// Concrete apples
struct Boskop : public FruitBase<IApple> {
public:
     Boskop() : FruitBase("Apples","Boskop","Malus domestica 'Belle de Boskoop'") {}
};

struct Braeburn : public FruitBase<IApple> {
public:
     Braeburn() : FruitBase("Apples","Braeburn","Malus domestica") {}
};

// Concrete oranges
struct Valencia : public FruitBase<IOrange> {
public:
     Valencia() : FruitBase("Oranges","Valencia","Citrus × sinensis") {}
};

struct Navel : public FruitBase<IOrange> {
public:
     Navel() : FruitBase("Oranges","Navel","Citrus × sinensis") {}
};

Here's what I assume is your function declarations specialized on taking Apples or Oranges only:
void aFunctionThatTakesOnlyApples(IApple& anApple) {
    std::cout << "This is an apple:" << std::endl;
    std::cout << anApple;
}

void aFunctionThatTakesOnlyOranges(IOrange& anOrange) {
    std::cout << "This is an orange:" << std::endl;
    std::cout << anOrange << std::endl;
}

This is a simple template function to query a known instance of IFruit for implementing a specific tag interface:
    template
    TagInterface* queryTagInterface(IFruit* fruit) {
        return dynamic_cast(fruit);
    }

And this is how you use all of that in action:
int main() {
    std::vector<std::unique_ptr<IFruit>> allFruits;
    allFruits.push_back(std::make_unique<Boskop>());
    allFruits.push_back(std::make_unique<Braeburn>());
    allFruits.push_back(std::make_unique<Valencia>());
    allFruits.push_back(std::make_unique<Navel>());
    for(auto& fruit : allFruits) {
        if(IApple* anApple = queryTagInterface<IApple>(fruit.get())) {
            aFunctionThatTakesOnlyApples(*anApple);
        }
        if(IOrange* anOrange = queryTagInterface<IOrange>(fruit.get())) {
            aFunctionThatTakesOnlyOranges(*anOrange);
        }
        std::cout << "-----------------------------------------------" << std::endl;
    }
}

It feels unsafe/obscure to pass Fruit to method that only expects Apple, at the same time there are many methods that do not care which type it is so having 3 distinct types is not a good option either.

I should note that I also still don't understand what makes Apples and Oranges that different Fruits that they really deserve their own types. But well, that might be appropriate for less abstract metaphors of polymorphic class design and useful for concrete class hierarchy designs.

Businesses, where staffs are prone to accidents, require a tool that enhances storage of information regarding these claims. A company can use this tool to gain tons of benefits. Here are the benefits.
Employees' settlement software allows the businesses to get the detailed, organized and processed reports of claims related to a particular incident. With adequate data for the incidents, employers can create rapid and accurate accident reports that they will issue the insurance company, which consequently makes it easy for the insurance company to compensate the aggrieved party.
Compensation software makes it easy for companies to retrieve information concerning a particular claim. Soon after feeding the data is entered into the system, companies can access this information by typing a particular detail like the kind of injury experienced by a worker. This feature makes it possible to manage different claim processes with ease.
Companies can also keep track of compensation processes using the same tool. This ensures that claimants are sufficiently compensated at the right time, which prevents legal intervention.
Keeping such kind of automated records for a particular interval will help companies to determine the common injuries sustained by employees and the concerned compensation fees. These reviewed reports produced from the application permits the organization to recognize accidents' structure, easily evaluate and assess the safety circumstances in their service and consider actions to create a possibility or crash-free office, and therefore effectively reduce the employees' settlement charges.
Compensation software is also necessary when a worker supposedly provides fake information to get the benefits associated with the claim. Individuals' compensation application allows the boss to keep up a repository of all past accidents as well as their promises that are relevant. Thus, in case there is a claim submitted by a worker, the business analyzes and inspections the prior documents to determine the exorbitant and repeated statements. This helps them save time and reduce costs on all such false claims by helping to identify any fake claims at the early stages of the process.
Empowering claims supervisors with the practical and user-friendly application just like the individuals' payment application helps them perform better. Fully automated software decreases the time was taken to prepare reports as well as increases the claim distribution methods. Decreased work-pressure about the workers makes them effective. Additionally the necessity for that effort to focus on state procedures reduces and therefore preserves the company work charges.
For these reasons, it is necessary for businesses to have an effective compensation tool that can be used to minimize a company's workload. Compensation software is an excellent tool for ensuring that business continues running.


Seeking a bomb-throwing, passionate, liberal Scalia for a seat on the Supreme Court.
Seeking a bomb-throwing, passionate, visionary, liberal Scalia for a seat on the Supreme Court.
Folks are wondering what kind of thumbprint Barack Obama should be leaving on the U.S. Supreme Court. It's hardly a theoretical question. Justice John Paul Stevens will soon be 89. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 75. And while both have insisted they aren't going anyplace anytime soon, the rumor mill continues to whisper that Justice David Souter (a mere 'tween at 69) is also thinking about packing it in.
Today's high court is balanced between four conservatives and four moderate liberals. Moderate-conservative Anthony Kennedy remains the deciding vote in hotly contested cases. But liberals have long fussed that despite this 4-1-4 lineup, the court has still lurched far to the right of mainstream American thinking. One of the most vocal proponents of this view is Harvard's Cass Sunstein, who wrote in 2007 of a massive rightward tilt at the high court: "What was once on the extreme right is now merely conservative. What was once conservative is now centrist. What was centrist is now left wing. What was once on the left no longer exists." To those who doubt that the court is now more conservative than ever, a study (co-authored by Richard Posner) last year showed that four of the five most conservative justices to serve on the court since 1937 are sitting on the current Supreme Court.
But beneath the claims that the court has shifted radically rightward with each successive appointment lurks the sense that the remaining liberals have somehow let us down. Right or wrong, critics continue to insist that even though each team has four players, they have the lions and we have the Aristocats. The University of Chicago's Geoffrey Stone describes the current court as "flying on one wing." As parlor games go, What's Wrong With the Liberals of the Roberts Court? only gets you so far. As Liptak's article makes plain, beyond vague assertions that the court's liberals are just too, well, Jarlsberg-on-mayo-on-white, it's never clear what seems to be lacking there. Indeed, the most consistent aspect of the liberal grousing about the court is that there is no left-wing counterpart for Justice Antonin Scalia.
It's sometimes said that in addition to being voiceless, or at least librarian-voiced, the court's liberals cannot see big. Thus we often hear that the court's liberals lack a revelatory constitutional vision. Sunstein, for instance, once lamented the "absence of anything like a heroic vision on the court's left." He writes longingly of Marshall and Brennan as "the Court's visionaries, offering a large-scale sense of where constitutional law should move." What Scalia has always done so much more effectively than anyone else at the court is sell his view of originalism and textualism. He has a coherent interpretive rulebook to which he almost always adheres. Oh, and he can explain it in 60 seconds on 60 Minutes.
If, then, we're totting up all the qualities the current court's liberals ostensibly lack, we'd need to blend boldness with passion and persuasiveness with volume and then hope the next candidate also comes with some sort of just-add-water Sweeping Constitutional Vision kit. Preferably this persuasive, passionate constitutional bomb-thrower is also a woman, and, with any luck, an African-American or Latina or Asian-American as well. Putting it all together, it's hard to come up with even one Scalia-like candidate, although some cross between Rachel Maddow and Emma Goldman sounds like a good start.
My own guess is that moderate, centrist Barack Obama is unlikely to name any such creature to the high court, even if she did exist, and that we need to yank our wish list out from under the enormous shadow cast by Antonin Scalia, William Brennan, and Thurgood Marshall, anyhow. Yes, they are forces of nature, and the court is a better place for having each of them. But pining for a liberal Scalia isn't the way to push the Roberts Court into the future. The day of the lions may be ending at the court. And that might not be a terrible thing.

Good parent hacks making mealtimes easier are all about SAVING something. Saving money. Saving time. Saving dishes. Saving waste. Saving sanity. Mealtimes can be a draining affair, especially if you have a fussy eater on your hands. And we want to save our mealtime from turning into a battle zone. So, here are some parent hacks for making mealtimes easier.
Use what you've got. If you have a couple of core recipes that your family loves, use them. Make a tweak here and there and play to your strengths. Trying to do a new recipe every night will not save your sanity. Knowing that a quick substitute of lentils for mushrooms in your bolognese sauce will save your sanity. Knowing that sprinkling on some smoked paprika on half your baked sweet potato and your usual sea salt on the other half makes it a new flavour for your kids to learn about with the reliability of the known version. Save anything really new for a time when your sanity won't be sacrificed. It's not worth "holding out for a hero" on a night when everyone is running on empty.
Oh, I love instagram for lots of mealtime preparation hacks. Have you met Patti from Pizza Night, yet? This hack is awesome. I do it all the time but I never thought to articulate it. Did your mum use the jar as a mixing vessel to use up every last skerick of sauce like my mum did? You learn hacks like these via osmosis in the kitchen and if you missed the lesson on this one, instagram has got your back.
End of the PB jar tip: Add a little soy sauce, sesame oil, fish sauce and water to the last gasp and shake it! Good times and a great satay marinade aka Chicken On A Stick. It's a new PN favourite. Marinade chicken thighs, cut in half lengthwise and skewer. Cook under a med-high grill for 15 minutes, turning often. Serve with rice and cucumber or green of choice. ?? Veg gang: Use firm tofu or eggplant.
This other hack, I recently spied over on Stina's instagram feed, was to use our sandwich press to make chunky banana pikelets. It is amazing. The result is UNBURNABLE pancakes. For ours, I mashed 1 banana, 1 cup of whomeal SR flour, 1 egg and 3/4c cups of milk to make ours.
Stina's pancake hack in it's original form….
??Yaaaawn.. those end of the work-week feels? The first words out of this guys mouth this last week have been: «me have pancake!!» It took me a while to try this pancake hack, but cooking pancakes on the sandwich press is truly brilliant!! Significantly reduces the chance of burned pancakes while I do the 12654 things I need to do so we can be out the door by 7.15? This pancake batter had leftover pumpkin, spinach and banana in it, plus leftover puffed quinoa that wasn't a big hit ??♀ no waste! Happy Friday everyone!!
Put simply, if you can make a stir-fry without referring to a recipe and you only have a few mins with the kids, use that meal idea to get them involved with. (There is a link to kid friendly knives on my side-bar). When you are short on time, from first hand experience I wouldn't go for a Jamie Oliver 15 minute meal recipe that you've never tried – they always undoubtedly take 40 minutes with kids in tow WHILE you are also trying to learn the recipe. Trust Me. Dividing your attention between kids, recipes and the clock is a plane ticket for the dinner-stress-zone.
To make it easier to have kids in the kitchen, pre-plan a range of tasks they can do alongside you. I like to call these "unhelpful help" tasks. The kids feel like they are helping. And they are, in a round-about way. They are learning about foods, they are out from under your feet and they are learning about what you are doing which builds up their executive functioning skills. Examples of unhelpful help are things like lining up the peelings from the sweet potatoes in size order, counting the remaining eggs in the fridge, putting the remaining pasta into a jar for the pantry or washing the frozen peas in a little bowl before you boil them. Obviously they don't contribute to the finished product but they are all great exposures.
You may also need to pick your mealtime strategy for if / when things go pear-shaped. This post will help you get some more parent hacks for handling mealtimes when they start to derail.

What did you learn in the kitchen as a kid that is a massive saviour for you in the kitchen now?

Did Trump Kill Soleimani to Shore Up GOP Senators' Support on Impeachment?
Peter Wade
Rolling Stone January 10, 2020
According to two separate reports this week, President Donald Trump may have had the impeachment process on his mind when giving the go-ahead for the drone strike that assassinated Iranian military and intelligence official Qasem Soleimani last week.
On Friday, the Wall Street Journal reported: "Mr. Trump, after the strike, told associates he was under pressure to deal with Gen. Soleimani from GOP senators he views as important supporters in his coming impeachment trial in the Senate, associates said."

Defense Secretary Says He 'Didn't See' Evidence of Trump's Claim of Four Embassies Under Threat from Iran

The Journal does not name any of the senators in question, but it does follow a similar report from the New York Times on Tuesday that said the president has been "pressured to take a harder line on Iran by some Republican senators whose support he needs now more than ever amid an impeachment battle."
While it seems unlikely any Republican senators would flip to being in favor of impeachment, it's possible that they would support Democrats' arguments around process, including whether to allow witnesses like former national security advisor John Bolton to testify. It's also interesting that known hawk Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-SC) appears to be the only lawmaker briefed on the assassination before it occurred. Graham told Fox News, "I was briefed about the potential operation when I was down in Florida. I appreciate being brought into the orbit."
For Trump's attack on Soleimani to be legal under international law, there needed to be an imminent threat against the United States from Iran. But with this new reporting, and Pompeo's dodges on the definition of imminent, it seems more and more likely that the assassination was a political calculation rather than a necessity to protect the country. If true, that could possibly be yet another impeachable offense committed by this president, but as Democrats have learned, proving what was in Trump's mind when he acted is exceedingly difficult, and unlikely to succeed in a Senate controlled by highly partisan Republicans.

Before WALLACE, JOHN T. NOONAN, JR., and THOMPSON, Circuit Judges.
DAVID R. THOMPSON, Circuit Judge.
John Timothy Pierson appeals his jury conviction and sentence for one count of conspiring to distribute cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a) (1) and 846, and two counts of using a communication facility in the commission of a drug trafficking offense in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 843(b). He contends that (1) the district court abused its discretion by admitting at trial a co-conspirator's testimony that the co-conspirator's family received anonymous threats of physical harm after the co-conspirator was arrested, and (2) the district court erroneously concluded at sentencing that it did not have the legal authority to grant a downward departure for aberrant behavior. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and 18 U.S.C. § 3742 and we affirm.
From at least April 1993 through December 1993, Pierson participated in an ongoing conspiracy to distribute cocaine for members of the Colombian Cali Cartel. He organized and managed a trucking company which transported multi-kilogram loads of cocaine from the Los Angeles, California area to the Seattle, Washington area, and from the Seattle area to the New Jersey/New York area.
Pierson and his business partner Gunnar Rooth started a commercial trucking venture in 1992 called Multi-Freight Services Trucking (MFS) which hauled produce from Anchorage to Fairbanks, Alaska. In early 1993, Pierson told Frank Plunk, a former business associate, that he was interested in expanding his trucking operation and was looking for financing. Pierson was aware that Plunk had been involved in selling drugs for several years. When Plunk arranged for Pierson to meet Richard Janis, an acquaintance of Plunk's who expressed interest in financing the expansion of MFS, Pierson attended the meeting in Seattle.
Janis and the people who worked for him were cocaine distributors for the Cali Cartel. At their meeting in Seattle, Janis told Pierson that he was looking for someone to haul "produce" from California to New Jersey. He offered to finance the project including the purchase of trucks and procurement of warehouses in the Los Angeles, Seattle, and New York areas. Janis asked Pierson to prepare a cost estimate. He told Pierson that if he accepted the proposal, he would have to pay Pierson in cash. Pierson did not have a problem with that. Pierson was to be paid approximately $300 per kilogram of cocaine transported.
Pierson did not tell his partner Rooth the whole truth about Janis or the scope of the trucking project. Instead, he told Rooth that another trucking company with whom MFS had previously conducted business was involved in the financing and would need to pay MFS in cash because it was selling some of its old equipment and had a cash surplus.
Within a week, Pierson and Rooth researched the costs of operating a trucking distribution route in "the lower 48" and submitted a formal proposal to Plunk who faxed it to Janis. The proposal stated they needed $300,000 to get their trucking project underway. Within another week, Plunk called Pierson and told him that Janis had accepted the proposal.
On May 8, 1993, Pierson received $56,000 in cash from Janis through Plunk. Shortly thereafter, Pierson flew to Seattle, Los Angeles, and New York City to buy trucks and obtain warehouses needed for the trucking venture. Pierson also hired several truck drivers, arranged to get the necessary shipping permits, and subscribed to a paging service. While in New York, one of Janis's employees came to Pierson's hotel and dropped off a briefcase or duffel bag containing $76,000 in cash. MFS received large cash payments on several other occasions. Pierson personally brought all of the money to the MFS office.
Carlos Serrato worked for the branch of the cocaine organization responsible for transporting the cocaine from the West Coast to the East Coast of the United States. In July 1993, Pierson met Serrato and three other men in Los Angeles and drove them to a nearby warehouse. He told them he had rented the warehouse for the purpose of loading his commercial trucks with boxes of produce which would also contain cocaine. Pierson then escorted Serrato and the others to a house where he showed them a box containing a vacuum-sealing machine which was to be used to vacuum-seal bags of cocaine to avoid detection by drug-sniffing dogs. Pierson gave the machine to Serrato.
A few days later, Pierson gave Serrato the keys to the warehouse and informed him that he would be in charge of opening and closing the warehouse. Pierson instructed Serrato on how to pack the boxes that would be filled with both vegetables and cocaine to avoid detection of the cocaine. He also explained how to make the warehouse operation appear legitimate to outsiders.
Soon after, Pierson traveled to the Seattle area and New Jersey with Serrato's boss, Tony Fonnegra, and showed Fonnegra the warehouses and arrangements he had set up in those places.
In late summer of 1993, Pierson organized a "practice" run. An MFS truck transported boxes containing only produce from Los Angeles to Seattle. Pierson then organized the first truck delivery containing cocaine. The truck departed from the Los Angeles area warehouse on September 7, 1993, and arrived in the Seattle area warehouse two days later. It continued on to East Rutherford, New Jersey. The truck transported eight boxes, six of which contained cocaine.
In October and November of 1993, MFS trucks made four or five more trips from the Los Angeles area warehouse, to the Seattle area warehouse and then to the New Jersey warehouse. Each truck contained between 200 and 250 kilograms of cocaine. On each occasion, Pierson was in regular contact with the drivers and supervised their actions.
Just as the cartel was planning to expand Pierson's cocaine trucking operation to Houston, Texas, law enforcement officers arrested Pierson, Serrato and Plunk. Other cartel members escaped to Colombia.
At Pierson's trial, Serrato testified as a government witness. Over Pierson's objection, the court admitted Serrato's testimony that his family had received anonymous threats after his arrest. Pierson was convicted, sentenced, and this appeal followed.
Pierson contends the district court abused its discretion by admitting government witness Serrato's testimony that his family received anonymous threats of physical harm after he was arrested. Pierson contends this testimony violated Federal Rules of Evidence 402, 403, 404(b) and 901, and rendered his trial fundamentally unfair. He argues it was "fundamentally unfair" for the district court to permit this testimony "without a scintilla of evidence linking the alleged threats to Mr. Pierson or anyone associated with him." He argues the testimony was extremely prejudicial because " [t]he only reasonable inference from [Serrato's] testimony was that Mr. Pierson sponsored the threats in an attempt to silence Serrato."
We do not agree that the only reasonable inference from Serrato's testimony is that Pierson sponsored the threats. In light of Serrato's entire testimony, a more likely inference is that other cartel members threatened Serrato's family after Serrato was arrested in an attempt to keep Serrato from revealing his knowledge of the cartel's activities. As Pierson observes in his brief, nothing in the record suggested that Pierson had anything to do with these threats or even knew about them, and the government never attempted to make any connection between Pierson and the threats.
Moreover, the evidence was relevant to Serrato's credibility by explaining his motive for testifying against his former co-conspirator. Viewed in context, it is clear that Serrato's testimony regarding the threats was introduced to show that the only incentive the government offered Serrato to testify against Pierson was assistance in protecting his wife from drug operatives in Colombia.1 Evidence of the threats was relevant to show why Serrato's family needed protection. See United States v. Castleberry, 642 F.2d 1151, 1153 (9th Cir. 1981) (noting that a former co-conspirator's testimony that he had received threats following his arrest was relevant to explain why the witness was cooperating with the government in exchange for protection).
The cases Pierson relies on are inapposite. In Ortiz-Sandoval v. Gomez, 81 F.3d 891 (9th Cir. 1996), we considered the prejudicial effect of evidence that the defendant himself had threatened two witnesses. Id. at 897. Here, in contrast, there was no evidence that Pierson made the threats. Furthermore, in Ortiz-Sandoval, we concluded that the trial court did not abuse its discretion by admitting the evidence and that its admission did not render the trial fundamentally unfair. Id. at 898. In United States v. Harrison-Philpot, 978 F.2d 1520 (9th Cir. 1992), we held that the admission of evidence that the defendant himself had made threats in the past violated rule 404(b)'s prohibition of evidence of prior bad acts on the part of the defendant. Id. at 1527. Here, no evidence was introduced that Pierson committed any prior bad acts.
In sum, the district court did not abuse its discretion by admitting into evidence Serrato's testimony about threats to his family following his arrest.
B. Lack of Authority to Depart Downward for Aberrant Behavior
Pierson requested a downward departure for aberrant behavior. At his sentencing hearing, the district court stated:
I need to make it very clear for the record here, because I am not going to grant the motion for a downward departure because I don't think that I have the authority to do that under the facts here, that is a decision that I make for purpose of the record, consciously knowing that that decision can be reviewed by a court of appeals.
Sentencing Hearing, May 17, 1995, Transcript at p. 99.
In explaining why it believed it lacked authority to depart downward, the district court stated: " [f]or a very substantial period of time, ... [Pierson] engaged in a conspiracy to distribute cocaine across the United States." Id. In the court's "Memorandum of Sentencing Hearing and Report of Statement of Reasons" dated May 17, 1995, the district court made the following entry: "Is defendant entitled to downward departure for 'aberrant behavior' or 'totality of circumstances.' Held: no."
We understand the district court's decision to be equivalent to a determination that Pierson's behavior "as occurring in the particular circumstances" did not "take [the case] outside the heartland of the applicable Guideline." Koon v. United States, 518 U.S. 81, ----, 116 S. Ct. 2035, 2051, 135 L. Ed. 2d 392 (1996). We review a district court's departure decision for abuse of discretion. Id. at ---- - ----, 116 S. Ct. at 2047-48.
We have long recognized that where a defendant's behavior can be called aberrant, he may be eligible for a downward departure due to mitigating factors not adequately taken into consideration by the Sentencing Commission. See 18 U.S.C. § 3553(b). See also United States v. Green, 105 F.3d 1321, 1323 (9th Cir. 1997); United States v. Lam, 20 F.3d 999, 1003 (9th Cir. 1994); United States v. Morales, 972 F.2d 1007, 1011 (9th Cir. 1992); United States v. Fairless, 975 F.2d 664, 667 (9th Cir. 1992). "While we have not required that the behavior be a single spontaneous or thoughtless act involving no planning, we have to some extent relied on the concept of 'singularity or spontaneity.' " Green, 105 F.3d at 1323 (citing Lam, 20 F.3d at 1004). "We have also placed considerable emphasis on a defendant's motivations and any surrounding extenuating circumstances." Id.
Thus, in United States v. Takai, 941 F.2d 738 (1991), we determined that the defendants were eligible for the aberrant behavior departure where their attempt to bribe an Immigration and Naturalization Service official to obtain green cards spanned a period of only eight days and was motivated by a desire to help friends and family members rather than obtain financial gain. Id. at 743-44. In Lam, we held that a defendant's possession of a sawed-off shotgun could constitute aberrant behavior where the gun was purchased out of concern for family safety shortly after the family had been robbed. Lam, 20 F.3d at 1005.
Pierson argues his behavior was aberrant because he was a hard-working, law-abiding, exemplary citizen before he became involved in the cocaine distribution conspiracy. We have held, however, that an absence of criminal history is not synonymous with aberrant behavior. See Green, 105 F.3d at 1323 (citing Takai, 941 F.2d at 743). Criminal history is taken into account by the Sentencing Guidelines. Green, 105 F.3d at 1323. Further, a defendant's exemplary life prior to his criminal involvement does not, by itself, justify a departure for aberrant behavior, United States v. Carey, 895 F.2d 318, 325 (7th Cir. 1990).
Here, Pierson's criminal conduct reached a significant level of regularity and spanned a considerable period of time. We recently held that a district court abused its discretion by granting a downward departure for aberrant behavior where the defendant was involved for at least a few months in a significant, well planned marijuana operation for no reason other than financial gain. See Green, 105 F.3d at 1323. We have also cited with approval Carey, 895 F.2d at 325 in which the court held as a matter of law that the defendant was not entitled to a downward departure for aberrant behavior where his involvement in a check-kiting scheme spanned a period of at least fifteen months and required extensive planning and hundreds of overt acts in furtherance of the crime. See, e.g., United States v. Dickey, 924 F.2d 836, 839 (9th Cir. 1991); Fairless, 975 F.2d at 667.
Green and Carey apply here. Pierson's participation in the cocaine distribution scheme required substantial planning and involved hundreds of overt acts spanning a period of at least eight months. We conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion in holding that Pierson was not entitled to a downward departure for aberrant behavior.
The testimony was offered in the following context:
Q. Did you make a bargain with the Government for your testimony?
Q. Have you been made any promises by me or any other prosecutor?
Q.... Why are you testifying? Why are you here?
A. Because I would like to show very clearly and clarify ... how my participation had to do with this ... transport of cocaine from California.
Q. Did you request assistance from the Government for your family?
A. Yes. Because my wife has been threatened.
Q. And what did you ask for?
A. That she ... be brought up here and that she would also just be able to have an opportunity to work.
Q. Did you ... say that you would only testify if she came?
Q. And has your family received threats since you have been arrested? ...
A. Since I have been arrested, various members of my family have received calls. I have family in Bogota and I have family in Cali. In both of these places my family--parts of my family have received threats.

Marielle Franco, who served as a city councilor in Rio de Janeiro, was shot dead yesterday night, around 9:30 p.m. According to witnesses, a group of men in a car approached Franco's vehicle and opened fire without saying anything. Her driver was also killed, and a third person was injured.
The federal government published a statement saying that it will closely follow the investigation. Raul Jungmann, the Minister of Public Safety, said that the Federal Police will be available to help local forces.
38-year-old Franco was the fifth-highest voted city councilor in 2016, her electoral debut. A sociologist with a master's degree in public administration, she researched the impact of Rio's Pacifying Police Units presence in the city's favelas. Before moving into politics, Franco worked in several NGOs fighting for human rights.

#tddl: Day One, the Great White Nope
If you follow this blog you are likely not fluent enough in German to have followed the Bachmannpreis livestream (see my post about the event) so here is a brief summary of how day one (of three) went. The writers who read today were, in this order: Raphaela Edelbauer, Martina Clavadetscher, Stephan Lohse, Anna Stern and Joshua Groß. You can read all the texts here, if you are so inclined.
The day began with the writer I was most excited to see. Not because I thought it was the best writer in the competition, but because Raphaela Edelbauer's book is such a lovely accomplishment and yet I had no idea how she'd approach the writing of fiction proper. One of her book's strengths is a sense of how the languages of fiction and science and history are connected – and in her text she achieved much of the same thing. A text that ended up being about the terrors of history implicated both science and the people who partake in it. How we deal with nature and how we deal with our fellow human beings – at the same time, the parts of the text that were fiction proper were not nearly as good as the nonfiction sections. Edelbauer does not have a mastery of the first person narrative yet – indeed most disappointingly, she does not bring the same attention and care to the first person fiction narrative that she brings to the nonfictional work. The prose in the latter is multifaceted and complex, while her first person narrative frequently falls flat. The text overall had a curiously conservative and polished feel despite the author's young age – the skill in the nonfictional passages still meant that the text ended up being an above average achievement. What a way to start the day!
Particularly since the second author of the day was Martina Clavadetscher, whose novel I loved, and who brought prize winning cachet to the competition. Her text, on the printed page, looked like her novel, short, poetry-like lines, and occasionally poetry-like rhythms and small rhymes even. In the early goings, her text about death and the predicaments of the female experience, was dense with well turned phrases and potential. Quite soon, the text flattened out into – I guess, boredom? As it turns out, Clavadetscher appears lost in the short form – she was unable to impose any kind of real structure on the text, which meandered from paragraph to paragraph. On the way to the end it shed all of the well turned phrases from its beginning and picked up a large assortment of empty clichés. A big disappointment.
Stephan Lohse's text on the other hand – hoo boy. Lohse's debut novel, published last year, had an underlying, but underdeveloped queer narrative that was among the strongest points of that otherwise middle of the road coming of age novel. His story is about two poor marginalized white boys – and as in his novel, he has a very good handle on the male teenage experience. The best part of the story is an interesting though underdeveloped queer facet. There's a twist here though – the main character identifies with Congolese revolutionary Patrice Lumumba – although in a key paragraph of the novel Lohse complicates this and it's worth explaining in detail: when during a class discussion children pick who they want to be when they grow up, he answers "black." His teacher – the only non authorial voice of authority in the text – defends him against the derision of his fellow students: being black isn't about the color of your skin, it's about how you feel on the inside, whether you are "dem Wesen nach ein Schwarzer" – whether you are a black man on the inside. Like some nightmare James Schuyler had in the 1930s, that's that in the story. The rest of the story is split between a conversation between the two boys and infodumps about the life of Patrice Lumumba. At its core the story is a story about marginality and struggling with marginality by appropriating the language and experience of another race, but the author never undercuts the basic assertion of the teacher in the story – and is unpleasantly comfortable with giving the boy, who just goes by Lumumba, numerous lines where they boy uses a form of Bantu as a way to fill in the gaps of his white experience.
But while authors can be blind to these kinds of faults in their work, the panel of literary professionals that judged him should have seen and noted the issues. Nora Gomringer came closest by noting that the story is a bit delicate ("heikel"). As for the other judges, they continued their sterling performance from years past by just sailing past the racial or even, really, class issues of the text. New judge Insa Wilke even saw this text as a significant contribution in a current progressive conversation about race – and if you believe that I have a racially dubious bridge to sell you. But as it turns out, her own invitee had his own problems in this regard.
First however, after the much needed break, was Anna Stern. Her first novel was a mess of names and structure, and though her second book was much clearer and more readable, her text was a messy, unstructured chaos that read like a first draft in literally every single sentence. Most of the audience on twitter admitted to being confused, although in text we did not pass, riverrun, past Eve's and Adam, but merely through the crucible of a text of modest means and no proofreader.
The day was brought to a close by Joshua Groß. I had previously read three of his books though not reviewed here. Groß's writing is an update on 1990s pop writing, particularly on the German tradition of the writers around Christian Kracht. Groß uses ironically refracted misogyny and an affected lightness of tone and inconsistently applied contemporary references to write a pop cultural tableau without the depth of his forebears. In his 2014 novella Magische Rosinen, his protagonist is a "rapper" who travels to Brooklyn a lot – he's no Patrice Lumumba, but there's an uncomfortable sense here of a white bourgeois writer of enormous privilege to use the terms of black culture to fill in the margins of an ultimately meaningless contemporary identity in our social media age. And it's not just Groß – young privileged white German writers have seized on this moment to explain why they feel so uprooted. Simon Strauß, Botho Strauß's son, has just published a novel about youthful nihilism that veered – like its author – sharply right. Strauß, like his father, has written a book and essays that align him with the rise of the far right in all areas of German cultural and political life. Joshua Groß's project – such as it is – appears different, but it's only different to a point. He's also very happy to work on shaping white German identity by means of appropriation – and as some of Christian Kracht's career has shown, the line between this kind of party nihilism and right wing celebration is a precarious one.
I haven't even mentioned the actual text Groß read yet, but it's a forgettable riff on American culture, particularly on mechanisms and events surrounding an NBA game in Miami. The text is replete, as all of Groß's work, with misogynist staples and clichés etc etc etc. The most notable part of it is the defence of the text by Insa Wilke, the judge who invited the author to read. Wilke appears to believe the text is cutting edge, giving a much-needed update on 1984's panopticon. In doing so, she not only ignores Thomas Mathiesen's 1997 coinage of the synopticon in his classic essay "The Viewer Society" (and its web 2.0 updates, for example Doyle 2011), but also literally the whole body of pop literature and the body of work of writers like William Gibson and many others. It's baffling, but it is evidence that the Bachmannpreis, over the past years, has turned into a search for the Great White (literary) Hope, and the racially troubling texts in the last three years are no accident, and the praise for texts like Lohse's and writers like Groß isn't either.
Raphaela Edelbauer's text is the best of the bunch so far, but apparently, Lohse is the frontrunner. I mean who the fuck knows.

In 1997 Australian Native Landscapes (ANL) commenced looking for a composting production site and agricultural operations facility in the central west of NSW. ANL spent 2 years searching around the Millthorpe-Blayney area and found the old Browns Creek Gold Mine in 1999 which was left abandoned, flooded and an environmental hazard by mining companies. ANL ingeniously undertook environmental restoration at the Gold Mine, and were then able to make use of the water, the limestone and mullock heaps to produce compost, decorative gravels and road base on a large scale. The Blayney facility is now home to the ANL Land Application Division.
The entire Browns Creek Gold Mine in and surrounding property of 500 acres, which was under receivership, was purchased in 2001 by Australian Native Landscapes. ANL completed an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and between 2001 and 2003 ANL undertook the massive task of environmental restoration at the old gold mine.
The environmental stabilisation work involved capping the tailings dams, which were leaking cyanide, through the application of a layer of compost, seeding with lawn and covering with a final capping of rock. The capped tailings dams then became a platform for ANL's compost production. In 2005 ANL gained approval for the extraction and recycling of approx 5 million m3 of rock which was left over from previous mining operations, and began the composting of organic waste.
ANL now run their Land Application Division from the Blayney site, a 200,000 tonne per annum licensed compost facility. The ANL Land Application Division at Blayney operates 3 purpose-built trailing spreaders with capacities from 3 to 25 tonnes which spread compost and mulch on all terrains.
The ANL Land Application Division provides services for compost products and their application requirements for vineyards and orchards to sporting fields, mine site rehabilitation and broadacre grazing and cropping operations including tramlines. Using ANL's Land Application spreaders combined with ANL's GreenBlower® service the Blayney facility showcases the company's economic and organic alternatives for farm operators, government bodies and domestic customers alike.
Brown's Creek is a significant creek in the Millthorpe-Blayney area. The mine is where the Blayney-Cadia Road crosses the Spring Terrace-Carcoar road. Gold was discovered in the area by Norwegian Norvis Gotterty in 1867. Other miners soon followed and by 1873 there were three stores, two pubs and a butcher's shop. By 1878 there were 200 miners plus a local farming population. The Brown's Creek Gold Mining Company continued mining until 1888 when problems with water forced the mine's closure.
In 1895 a French company, Compagnie des Mines d'Or, spent £50,000 importing a marine engine from Glasgow and installing a large stamping battery. The company sank a shaft into the old workings which subsequently collapsed and forced the mine to close in 1901. In 1904 open-cut mining began, using cyanide to treat the old tailings. Mining continued until the late 1930s. Michael Hickey obtained the leases in 1979 and opened a new shaft and drives. In 1986 he sold the mine to BHP Minerals, which in 1993 sold it to Hargraves resources. A South African company took it over in 1999 but six weeks later, an aquifer was hit, the mine was flooded and abandoned. It was then purchased in 2001 by Australian Native Landscapes, and extensive environmental restoration and conversion of the site into a composting and land application facility.

The Eye of Sauron? A Blurry Bagel? The Internet's Black Hole Memes Are Out of This World
By Mahita Gajanan
April 10, 2019 12:08 PM EDT
The first picture of a black hole was released Wednesday, marking a giant feat for science — and, because this is the internet, paving the way for a slew of memes.
The photo — a blurry shot that shows a black hole at the center of the Messier 87 galaxy — quickly became meme fodder as people drew comparisons between the fiery orange circle and other famous round objects.
The Eye of Sauron, the flaming eye featured in The Lord of the Rings, immediately jumped to mind for many:
For some, the black hole picture served as a reminder to eat breakfast:
Bagels and a famed eye from The Lord of the Rings are logical comparisons to a fuzzy picture of a black hole. But things soon took a turn for the wild:

Welcome to the website for Eden Court Medical Practice, a GP surgery aiming to make a difference in Castle Vale and beyond.
We hope you find the pages useful whether patients or new visitors, and we value your feedback on our services.
Our list is currently open and we are happy to register new patients at the surgery.
Would you recommend us to your family and friends? Click here to complete our family and friends test.
What's new at Eden Court?
Eden Court Medical Practice is working towards a "Green Impact for Health" award. The award is run by the National Union of Students (NUS) in conjunction with the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) and the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare to encourage GP practices across England to show how they are working in an environmentally aware and sustainable way. This has been shown to benefit patients as well as the environment.
Castle Vale is a thriving community with multiple clubs, activities and groups, from walking football to zumba, rambling groups to tai chi there's something for everyone! Why not pop in and speak with one of our community volunteers (Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings) to find out more information or visit https://brumnns.wordpress.com/2018/11/19/our-latest-community-asset-directory-and-new-citywide-map.
From the start of October 2018, evening and weekend appointments will be available for our patients.
These appointments will take place at The Poplars Surgery Hub in Holly Lane, Erdington (B24 9JN) .
Appointments are bookable via our reception, and can be with a GP, nurse or healthcare assistant.
Parking is available at the Poplars Surgery, it is close to Erdington train station, and is on bus routes 28,88,89,108,110.
We all know that unexpected things can crop up occasionaly to make us late for appointments, but unfortunately patients arriving late for surgeries have raised a few issues recently and so we have introduced a new policy to help manage late arrivals. The policy can be found in more detail here, but essentially if someone arrives more then TEN muinutes after their appointment time then this may result in them being asked to re- book at a different appointment.
In response to the outbreak of measles currently happening in the West Midlands, we are offering the MMR vaccination to all unvaccinated children and adults. You can book an appointment to receive an MMR if you have never receieved a complete course, and in the coming days, SMS messages will be sent to all those whose records show an incomplete course as a reminder.
The charge for HGV and other driving medicals has recently dropped in price to only £70, and these can be booked at your convenience via the reception desk. We now accept card payments at the front desk also.
We are pleased to announce that we now offer a free text messaging service to our patients. You will now automatically receive important information from Eden Court by text message, including helpful reminders of the date and time of your next booked appointment.
It is important therefore that we hold the correct mobile telphone number for you, and our receptionists would be happy to help change or amend your number so that you can receive these messages.
Alternatively, you can opt out of this service by informing reception, either in person or by telephone.
Do you need information in a different format? Do you need support?
Please inform our receptionist if you wish to receive correspondence in any of the above ways.
Under new regulations, all GP surgeries are required to post an average earnings report. Our report is now available..
