Coronavirus In Ohio: Prison Employees Union Worried About Working Conditions
WOSU 89.7 NPR News | By Debbie Holmes
John Minchillo
Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville, Ohio.
Twelve Ohio state prisons, housing nearly 17,000 inmates, are under quarantine as the coronavirus spreads throughout the prison system.
"Right now, it's a little bit frantic inside of our facilities," says Chris Mabe, president of the Ohio Civil Service Employees Association. "I mean the lack of testing, the lack of the ability of proper social distancing inside our prisons. The changing of policies, processes and procedures every day."
OCSEA represents 8,500 corrections officers within state prisons as well as 576 within the Department of Youth Services.
As of Monday, the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections reports 146 inmates and 119 staff members tested positive for COVID-19, while one corrections officer and one inmate have died.
So far, only 435 inmates have been tested at Ohio's 28 state prison facilities, out of more than 49,000 inmates.
"Judging from the past few weeks, I don't know if there are enough tests available to test the amount of institutions under what the department has now identified as red," says Mabe.
Mabe says he would like to see stricter rules in a facility when under quarantine.
"More limited movement inside the facilities," Mabe says. "Some isolation areas where people have tested positive. Stricter quarantine to keep people that may have tested positive away from those who have not. It's very difficult inside our ecosystem."
Mabe says OCSEA approached prison officials weeks ago about providing face masks, but says there currently aren't enough for the corrections officers.
Annette Chambers-Smith, director of the ODRC, told WOSU in March that inmates would receive cotton materials to sew their own masks starting April 15.
Last week, the directors of ODRC and Youth Services raised hazard pay for corrections officers on a sliding scale of 5-10% percent of their regular pay. Those who work in a quarantined facility get the highest increase. Leaders also approved 40 hours of federal emergency sick leave for employees affected by quarantine.
Mabe says the union was not included in those decisions. Without more testing, he says the real danger of the coronavirus remains unknown. Mabe is concerned that his members will not be heard, and that the pandemic will only worsen existing problems in the prison system.
"Frustration, fear," Mabe says. "A lot of mandatory overtime, more so than usual. I mean, we've not been properly staffed for years inside our system."

Nel passaggio dall'Ottocento al Novecento, l'influenza di Leonardo Bistolfi (1859-1933) sulla sua opera divenne evidente. In questo fruttuoso periodo partecipò a diversi concorsi per monumenti ed esposizioni, come le Triennali di Milano, l'Esposizione Generale Italiana (Torino, 1898) e l'Esposizione Nazionale di Belle Arti (Milano, 1906). Nel 1907 torna nella sua città natale, Asti, dove realizza monumenti pubblici, busti e opere funerarie. Nel 1925, emigrò in Brasile e prese la cattedra di modellazione e plastica al Liceo di Arti e Mestieri di San Paolo, precedentemente tenuta da Amedeo Zani (1869-1944).

Biografia
Materno Gaetano Giribaldi è nato ad Asti il 18 luglio 1870. All'età di 14 anni si iscrive all'Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, dove si diploma nel 1890. Come allievo e stretto collaboratore dello scultore Ernesto Bazzaro (1859-1937), visse nell'ambiente della scapigliatura milanese. Dopo periodi a Parigi e Boston, torna a Milano e partecipa a varie mostre — le Triennali di Milano, l'Esposizione Generale Italiana (Torino, 1898) e l'Esposizione Nazionale di Belle Arti (Milano, 1906) — oltre che a concorsi per monumenti pubblici. In questo periodo l'influenza di Leonardo Bistolfi (1859-1933) sulla sua opera diventa evidente. Nel 1907, Giribaldi tornò nella sua città natale, dove insegna alla Scuola Municipale di Arti e Mestieri per diciassette anni, oltre a realizzare monumenti pubblici, busti e opere funerarie. Nel 1922, poco dopo la sua vittoria al concorso per il Monumento ai Caduti, da erigere ad Asti, il risultato fu annullato in aderenza al parere della sessione regionale del Partito Nazionale Fascista. Nel 1925, decise poi di emigrare in Brasile e prese la cattedra di modellazione e plastica al Liceo di Arti e Mestieri di San Paolo, precedentemente tenuta da Amedeo Zani (1869-1944). È morto il 17 settembre 1951, all'età di 81 anni.

Home Slider Influence of churches, once dominant, now waning in South
Influence of churches, once dominant, now waning in South
Prayers said and the closing hymn sung, tea-drinking churchgoers fill Marble City Grill for Sunday lunch. But hard on their heels comes the afternoon crowd: craft beer-drinking, NFL-watching football fans.
Such a scene would have been impossible just months ago because Sunday alcohol sales were long illegal in Sylacauga, hometown of both the actor who played TV's Gomer Pyle and the white marble used to construct the U.S. Supreme Court building. While the central Alabama city of 12,700 has only one hospital, four public schools and 21 red lights, the chamber of commerce directory lists 78 churches.
Yet few were surprised when residents voted overwhelmingly in September to legalize Sunday alcohol sales. Churches lacked either the heart or influence to stop it.
That shift is part of a broad pattern across the South: Churches are losing their grip on a region where they could long set community standards with a pulpit-pounding sermon or, more subtly, a sideward glance toward someone walking into a liquor store.
In metro Atlanta, youth sports teams regularly practice and play games on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights — times that were strictly off-limits a generation ago because they conflicted with church worship services. In Mississippi, dozens of businesses display anti-discrimination stickers distributed by a gay rights group rather than worry about a church-based backlash.
"It doesn't matter who wants to buy a house," said real estate agent Diana Britt, who drives around Jackson, Mississippi, in a work vehicle decorated with one of the stickers. "If they want to buy a house, I'll sell them a house."
Church-based crusaders against gambling also are on a losing streak as all but two Southern states, Alabama and Mississippi, have lotteries. And, perhaps most tellingly, a recent survey by the Pew Research Center showed 19 percent of Southerners don't identify with any organized religion. That's fewer "nones" than in other regions, but the number is up 6 percentage points in the South since 2007.
The South is still the Bible Belt, and that same Pew survey found that church affiliation remains stronger in the states of the old Confederacy than anywhere else in the United States. Seventy-six percent of Southerners call themselves Christians, and political advertisements often show candidates in or near church. Religious conservatives remain a powerful force in many Southern statehouses.
Still, the same South that often holds itself apart from the rest of the country is becoming more like other U.S. regions when it comes to organized religion, said Jessica Martinez, a senior researcher in religion and public life at Pew.
And while race divides many things in the South, the trend is evident among blacks, whites and Hispanic adults, she said.
"We've seen this sort of broader shift throughout the country as a whole with fewer people identifying as being part of the religious base," she said. "In the South you see a pattern very similar to what we are seeing in other regions."
Thomas Fuller, a religion professor at Baptist-affiliated Samford University near Birmingham, said there's no single reason churches are losing the cultural wallop they once packed. Migration into the region and the Internet are but two factors chipping away at a society that seemed much more isolated just a generation ago, he said.
"The South is not nearly as homogeneous, is far more diverse culturally now than it's ever been," said Fuller. "In a way you're a little hard-pressed now to talk about Southern culture in a singular fashion. It's not nearly as one-dimensional anymore or easy to describe."
In Sylacauga, 45 miles southeast of Birmingham, Mayor Doug Murphree said the push for Sunday alcohol sales was linked to attracting new businesses.
"We're not really trying to promote drinking in Sylacauga. But if you look at a big chain restaurant like Ruby Tuesday or O'Charley's, they're open on Sunday and a big part of their business is alcohol," said the mayor.
Murphree, who attends a Baptist church, said he met with members of the local ministerial association before the citywide vote to explain the city's economic situation and the need for Sunday alcohol sales. Pastors listened, and by and large they didn't preach against it.
"They said they were not going to try to block us," he said.
So now, Marble City Grill can sell alcohol after 1 p.m. on Sunday just two blocks up North Broadway Avenue from the white-columned First Baptist Church of Sylacauga.
"Things have changed," said Julie Smith, who owns the restaurant with her husband. "We've been open 10 years and at first we had people who wouldn't come because we sold alcohol. They come now."
Around corner from the restaurant, Dee Walker said he's attracting a larger crowd every Sunday afternoon at his craft beer and wine shop, The Fermenter's Market at The Rex, named for the old hotel in which it is located.
Walker grew up in neighboring Clay County, the last dry county in Alabama, and recalls the petition drives and fire-and-brimstone sermons anytime someone mentioned legalizing alcohol sales. Southern churches no longer have that kind of influence in many places, Walker said.
"You've got some diminishing populations when it comes to the religious opposition," said Walker, standing behind a bar with 36 taps for craft beer. Walker said his customers include church deacons and elders; a Baptist layman quoted Scripture while drinking a hoppy brown ale on a recent weekday afternoon.
Joe Godfrey, a Southern Baptist minister and head of a group that calls itself "Alabama's Moral Compass," recalls a time when churches were the center of Southern society.
"I can remember when schools looking to schedule an event would call the local churches to see if they had anything … that might conflict with the school's tentative plans. If so, the school would find a different date to hold their event. That is no longer true," said Godfrey, executive director of Alabama Citizens Action Program.
"Today, churches try to find a time to schedule their events when ball teams, schools and civic clubs are not already planning something else," said Godfrey. "Instead of being the 'hub' of the community, churches today are simply one 'spoke' in the wheel of people's lives."
Fuller, the religion professor, said the loss of influence isn't all bad for Southern churches. The idea of churches controlling Southern society is giving way to individuals searching for a deeper faith, he said.
"The fact that you didn't drink, cuss or chew or go with girls who do, didn't dance, didn't do this or that, was far more a litmus test of one's faith and devotion to Christ in a previous day and in many instances in a way that, I think, produced a superficial sort of religion in many respects," he said. "I think there has been some growth and development in outlook."

Lazy start today. Knew the day was different when I woke up at 0730 and everyone else was fast asleep. Took advantage of the time and quietly packed up and did my morning chores.
We sat around eating breakfast and chatting until 0930 before everyone was ready to go. Morning was slow going due to Barren Mountain, but we picked up speed after the summit.
Water was scarce so we didn't end up stopping for a rest until later in the day when we came across a water source that was actually flowing. Took quite the break, which was welcome indeed.
Bunch of ups and downs to finish off the afternoon, with a long, steep down at the end. Got to our planned stopping point for the day to see our trail magic friends yet again, with snacks, drinks, fresh water, and most importantly - cheese burgers!
Managed to get set up for the night and get in the sack just before dark. Tomorrow should be another doozie of a day due to White Cap Mountain, but after that we'll have smooth sailing to Katahdin.


Forget all the focus on the one ugly word President Obama used. Pay attention, instead, to the rest of the words in his podcast interview. They offer a remarkable self-portrait of a president in the second half of his second term, both chastened and liberated.
But there is value to sneaking a glimpse behind the heavy presidential curtain, which is where comedian Marc Maron's "WTF" podcast succeeded best. Politicians talk so much in public that it is rare to pierce the rhetorical autopilot and expose the human being underneath.
"When I ran in 2008, there were those posters out there: 'Hope' and 'Change.' And those are capturing aspirations about where we should be going. . . . As soon as you start talking about specifics, then the world's complicated, and there's choices that you have to make. And it turns out that the trajectory of progress always happens in fits and starts. And you've got these big legacy systems that you have to wrestle with, and you have to balance what you want and where you're going with what is and what has been. . . .
Obama no doubt understood, at least intellectually, the frustrations and limitations of the democratic process before he took the oath of office. He knew the unwieldiness of the battleship. But this sober assessment of the possibility of transformative change reflects a remarkable distance from the swept-away rhetoric of his first campaign.
"If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our Founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer," Obama said on election night 2008.
Seven long years later, Garage Obama's answer is far more subdued, almost deflated.
Still, this president speaks in terms of "a lot more hits than misses," not of launching "the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow." He knows, from painful experience, that the latest mass killing, no matter how appalling, is not going to magically produce gun legislation.
But Garage Obama is also freed up, beyond simply using the N-word.
"I actually think I'm a better president and would be a better candidate if I were running again than I ever have been," he told Maron. "And it's sort of like an athlete — you might slow down a little bit, you might not jump as high as you used to, but I know what I'm doing and I'm fearless. . . .
This is the point Obama was making at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, when he talked about having "something that rhymes with bucket list,'' citing his executive action on immigration, Cuba and climate.
There is, indeed, a certain WTF quality to the denouement of Obama's presidency, unmoored from party and eyeing the clock. It emerged in the setting, unlikely but intimate, of a Los Angeles garage as a sniper patrolled the roof to protect the middle manager in chief.

Q: Progress bar Java servlet and jsp I'll try to explain my problem as clear as possible.
I developed an app (Java EE, servlet, jsp) where i try to read an excel file and make some request on different api to get some results for each line. That's mean the time to read the excel file and make all the request depends oh many line are present in the excel file.
I would like to inform to the user where is he on the process and for that, i'll need to implement a progress bar which one is according to the excel file.
Step on the app :

*

*The user arrives on the home page, he uploads the excel file on the jsp page.

*He click on validated button when it's ok for him.

*the validated button redirect on the uploading servlet

*On the uploading servlet, we read all the excel file and make the call to the differents api, when it's done, we redirect to the result pages jsp (upload jsp).

Do you have an idea to show the progress bar in percent in the 4th step ?
Thank's to all

A: In this case make use of ajax call. Every time you progress with data read/api call reply to javascript function and progress the bar accordingly.

Every Tuesday we run down new movie and television releases that you can enjoy in the comfort of your own home, as well as some slick deals that can help save you some coin.

Movies on Blu-ray
Sicario (Denis Villeneuve) Rated R [121 min] – An idealistic FBI agent is enlisted by an elected government task force to aid in the escalating war against drugs at the border area between the U.S. and Mexico. Starring Emily Blunt, Josh Brolin, Benicio Del Toro, and Jon Bernthal
If you like tense, edge of your seat dramas that leave you in suspense up until the bitter end, Sicario will be your cup of tea. Emily Blunt puts out a wonderful performance alongside a stellar supporting casting, especially Benicio Del Toro who absolutely shines.
Special features include:
Stepping Into Darkness: The Visual Design of Sicario
Blunt, Brolin, and Benicio: Portraying the Characters of Sicario
A Pulse From The Desert: The Score of Sicario
Battle Zone: Inside The World of Sicario
The Walk (Robert Zemeckis) Rated PG [123 min] – In 1974, high-wire artist Philippe Petit recruits a team of people to help him realize his dream: to walk the the immense void between the World Trade Center towers. Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Charlotte Le Bon, Guillaume Baillargeon, and Émilie Leclerc
Sadly, The Walk is one of the most under seen movies of 2015. The most depressing part about the film isn't that it's a dramatization of the thrilling documentary Man on Wire, what's upsetting is that The Walk is actually a really fun movie that is riveting experience when seen on the big screen. There is some incredible cheese and terrible narration, but overall this movie is one of the most intense things I witnessed in theaters last year. My armpits were dripping with anxiety throughout the last 30 minutes of the film.
Pillars of Support
The Amazing Walk
The Visit (M. Night Shyamalan) Rated PG-13 [94 min] – A single mother finds that things in her family's life go very wrong after her two young children visit their grandparents. Starring Olivia DeJonge, Ed Oxenbould, Deanna Dunagan, and Peter McRobbie
M. Night (Signs; The Sixth Sense; The Village; Unbreakable) has not had the best track record after the handful of successes he garnered early on in his career. After a slew of flops, including 2013's abomination After Earth, the once revered master of twists shows he still has that delicious flare we know and love. The Visit doesn't have the best characters to fall in love with, but the pacing, direction, and level of mystery delivers a fairly rewarding end. And amazingly, if he continues doing work at this caliber, I am highly intrigued at what he can accomplish next.

The Green Inferno (Eli Roth) Rated R [100 min] – A group of student activists travels to the Amazon to save the rain forest and soon discover that they are not alone, and that no good deed goes unpunished. Starring Lorenza Izzo, Ariel Levy, Aaron Burns, and Kirby Bliss Blanton
Not since 2007's Hostel II have I really seen anything to jump for joy about when it comes to Eli Roth's work. And after delays and mixed reviews, I wasn't so sure I'd walk away from The Green Inferno in any better shape. Surprisingly, I was pleasantly enlightened by its cheeky story. And despite having heard how vicious and disgusting it is, The Green Inferno is pretty tame considering it's a film about cannibalism.
Feature Commentary
Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse (Christopher Landon) Rated R [93 min] – Three scouts, on the eve of their last camp-out, discover the true meaning of friendship when they attempt to save their town from a zombie outbreak. Starring Tye Sheridan, Logan Miller, Joey Morgan, and Sarah Dumont
Originally entitled Scouts vs. Zombies, a more suitable and grammatically correct title, Scouts Guide, in its truest form, is the stoner comedy answer to the rise in popularity of the undead. Not without its lewd and somewhat refreshing zombie set pieces, the movie fails to deliver characters and a story that matters. Scouts Guide is what would happen if the tripod from Superbad encountered the zombie apocalypse. It's not revolutionary on any level, but it does have a few gags that are worth fast forwarding to get to.

Deathgasm (Jason Lei Howden) Unrated [86 min] – Two teenage boys unwittingly summon an ancient evil entity known as The Blind One by delving into black magic while trying to escape their mundane lives. Starring Milo Cawthorne, James Blake, and Kimberley Crossman
After its big premiere at South by Southwest, Deathgasm has been on my must watch list for quite some time. So does it live up to the hype? Kinda. The movie is really fun and full of hilarious references to the metal scene, and even if you're not a metalhead, the movie goes a long way to entertain and fully engage you in the rambunctious anarchy. The only downside is that its convenient ending makes the movie feel a bit rushed.

Experimenter (Michael Almereyda) Rated PG-13 [98 min] – Famed social psychologist Stanley Milgram, in 1961 conducted a series of radical behavior experiments that tested ordinary humans willingness to obey authority. Starring Peter Sarsgaard, Josh Hamilton, Taryn Manning, Winona Ryder, and Anton Yelchin
Not having any previous awareness to famed psychologist Stanley Milgram, I didn't quite know what to expect going into Experimenter, only that the cast is exceptional. That being said, the movie is pretty cut and dry aside from a narrative breaking of the fourth wall by Sarsgaard. The movie tells and never shows. The main social experiment is rather fascinating, and its subjects bring up a lot of concerning and existential conversations. However, there's nothing too exhilarating about Experimenter to capture and engage like it should with how important Milgram's findings were.

Kung Fu Panda [Re-Release] (Mark Osborne and John Stevenson) Rated PG [92 min] – In the Valley of Peace, Po the Panda finds himself chosen as the Dragon Warrior despite the fact that he is obese and a complete novice at martial arts. Starring Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Seth Rogen, Lucy Liu, David Cross, James Hong, Randall Duk Kim, and Ian McShane
Kung Fu Panda 2 [Re-Release] (Jennifer Yuh) Rated PG [91 min] – Po and his friends fight to stop a peacock villain from conquering China with a deadly new weapon, but first the Dragon Warrior must come to terms with his past. Starring Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Seth Rogen, Lucy Liu, David Cross, James Hong, and Gary Oldman
Both Kung Fu Panda films have been re-released with extra bonus content in celebration of the upcoming release of Kung Fu Panda 3. While I enjoy both films, the new extra features are fun for the kids, but don't bring anything really new to those looking for a deeper exploration of the making of the film.
New Re-release Special features include:
"Secrets of the Scroll" – an all-new animated adventure. – Tigress, Viper, Monkey, Crane and Mantis transform from complete strangers into the legendary Furious Five Warriors of Kung Fu
Martial Arts Awesomeness Music Video – Our heroes' fight sequences move to the beat of "Kung Fu Fighting" in this colorful music video
Mash-Up of Awesomeness: Slo-Mo – Prepare to be thrilled by amazing, high-intensity action sequences in all the glory that slow motion provides
Mash-Up of Blunders – Laugh with this lightning quick mash-up of all Po's hilariously embarrassing moments

Sleeping with Other People (Leslye Headland) Rated R [95 min] – A good-natured womanizer and a serial cheater form a platonic relationship that helps reform them in ways, while a mutual attraction sets in. Starring Jason Sudeikis, Alison Brie, Jordan Carlos, and Margarita Levieva
This may be the first time I've found Jason Sudeikis mildly tolerable. That may lie solely on the fact that Alison Brie brings out the best in people. Sleeping with Other People isn't your traditional FWB romcom, but rather a relationship story based on friendship and support. Crazy concept, I know. It works up until the very end where things start to fall apart. It has some good laughs and witty dialogue, but not revolutionary to the romcom game.
No special features included
Captive (Jerry Jameson) Rated PG-13 [97 min] – A single mother struggling with drug addiction is taken hostage in her own apartment by a man on the run after breaking out of jail and murdering the judge assigned to his case. Starring Kate Mara, David Oyelowo, Mimi Rogers, and Michael Kenneth Williams
Not much can be said about the rather mediocre Captive. While the performances by Mara and Oyelowo maintain a professional level of commitment with the utmost conviction, the film is rather repetitive, beating the main story beats and themes over the head too often. And by the end, the miles Captive puts in to build to some meaningful, big finale doesn't come close to the oomph it is hoping for because the damage has already been done.

Broad City (Season 2) [DVD Only] (Ilana Glazer, Abbi Jacobson) Rated TV-14 [22 min] – Broad City follows two women throughout their daily lives in New York City, making the smallest and mundane events hysterical and disturbing to watch all at the same time. Starring Abbi Jacobson, Ilana Glazer, and Hannibal Buress
I hadn't had the inclination to check out Broad City, but after the opportunity presented itself, and figuring how well received the series has been, I thought I'd check it out. The show definitely lives up to the hype. Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer absolutely crush it. The lives of their characters are hilariously resonating while at the same time utterly fantastical. Season 2 is a big step forward as their characters progress to even further heights and their morals even lower. This show is hilarious and suggest everyone gets on it.

Family Education Rights and Privacy Act
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a United States federal law that affords students certain privacy rights with respect to their education records. These rights include:
1) The right to inspect and review student education records within 45 days of the day the College or Seminary receiving a request for access. Students should submit to the Registrar via email requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. The Registrar will make arrangements to email the records to the student.
2) The right to request that the Seminary amend a record that they believe is inaccurate. The student should email the College or Seminary official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate. This request should be emailed to the Registrar, who will forward it to the appropriate official for review.
If the official responsible for the record(s) decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the College or Seminary will notify the student of the decision and advise the student of his or her right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.
3) The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.
An exception, which permits disclosure without consent, is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the College or Seminary in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position; a person or company with whom the College or Seminary has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks.
The College or Seminary may also release the following directory information without prior consent:
Name of student
Photograph of student
Home telephone number
Work telephone number
Campus box number
Dates of attendance
Graduation date
Denominational affiliation is not considered directory information. Students may submit a request in writing to the Registrar's Office to prohibit the release of directory information without consent.

A February 3, 2017, decision injected uncertainty into the reach of the federal government to obtain emails stored outside of the United States when a magistrate judge in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania held that warrants issued under the Stored Communications Act 18 U.S.C. §§2701 et seq., (the "SCA") can reach data stored outside the U.S. The magistrate judge's opinion diverged from the Second Circuit's Microsoft opinion, which held that domestic companies are not required under the SCA to provide information stored in foreign jurisdictions.
In two consolidated cases, In re Search Warrant No. 16-960-M-01 to Google, Misc. No. 16-960-M-01 (E.D. Pa. Feb. 3, 2017) and In re Search Warrant No. 16-1061-M, to Google, Misc. No. 16-1061-M (E.D. Pa. Feb. 3, 2017), federal magistrate judge Thomas J. Rueter issued a warrant for all data connected to Google accounts held by individual suspects in federal criminal investigations. In both cases, the suspects and victims resided (or in the case of one victim, was incorporated) in the U.S., and the warrants were issued to Google, a domestic company.
Magistrate Judge Rueter, however, disagreed with the Microsoft Court's "extraterritoriality" analysis. The extraterritoriality analysis involves two-steps: 1) determining whether the statute rebuts the presumption against extraterritorial application; and if it did not, then 2) determining whether the statute would require extraterritorial application, in light of the statute's focus. In re Search Warrant No. 16-960-M-01 to Google, Misc. No. 16-960-M-01 at *12-14 (E.D. Pa. Feb. 3, 2017) and In re Search Warrant No. 16-1061-M, to Google, Misc. No. 16-1061-M at *12-14 (E.D. Pa. Feb. 3, 2017). Agreeing that the SCA did not rebut the presumption against extraterritorial application, and assuming ad arguendo that the focus of the SCA is privacy, as the Second Circuit decided it was, Judge Rueter found the "crux" of the issue is where the alleged invasions of privacy take place. Id. at 18.
Judge Rueter's analysis under the second prong differed from the Microsoft court in two crucial ways. First, while the Microsoft Court found that electronically transferring data amounted to a "seizure," Judge Rueter found this transfer was merely a "search," as there would be no "meaningful interference with an individual's possessory interest in the user data." Id. at *20. Second, while the Microsoft court found that the invasion of privacy would occur when information was retrieved from the foreign data server, Judge Rueter found the invasion of privacy would occur at the time of disclosure to the Government. Id. at 23. Because this disclosure would take place in the U.S., the warrants were a permissible domestic application of the SCA. Id.
With conflicting decisions about the scope of the application of the SCA, uncertainty regarding companies' obligation to provide user data stored abroad is growing. Undoubtedly, this decision will increase pressure on Congress to amend and update the largely outdated SCA or leave the matter to potentially more conflicting judicial decisions.
For more information about this decision or for other questions, contact the authors of this alert, Jonathan Feld at jfeld@dykema.com, Jason Ross at jross@dykema.com, Christina Brunty at cbrunty@dykema.com, or your Dykema relationship attorney.

KISHTWAR, Mar 16: Curtains on the mystery behind the infamous and gruesome murder of 48 year old Kishtwar hotelier Ishtaq Ahmed Dar was finally brought down today by the Kishtwar Police after it claimed that the developing of an Illicit relationship of the deceased with wife of accused led to the murder.
The police have also said that the 38 year old accused used the foreign made Pistol to execute the 'murder'.
Addressing a press conference at District Police Office, SP Kishtwar Abrar Chowdhary claimed that the Kishtwar Police in a major breakthrough has cracked the blind murder case of a local businessman who was killed on March 9 in a shootout near the Kishtwar Jamia Masjid. He said the accused has been arrested and has recovered the weapon of offence in the presence of magistrates and the civil witnesses.
S P Kishtwar said that the case was very tough in nature and totally blind. He said police on the basis of various suspicions and clues rounded up a large number of suspects including some females for questioning adding that after an intense hard work the police on the basis of specific clues zeroed in on one of the suspects who was identified as Muzzaffer Hussain Kamal R/O Kamal Mohallah Kishtwar who is a Books & Stationery shopkeeper and is tenant of the deceased in his New Dar Complex near Jamia Masjid Kishtwar.
He said that during the sustained interrogation of this suspect, it was found that in the months of October-November 2017, the daughter of the deceased along with wife of the accused was undergoing graduation course through IGNOU and had examination centre at Drabshallah. He said that the accused had a WagonR car JK 17-1515 and the deceased used to take the WagonR vehicle of the accused to drop together his daughter and wife in exam centre at Drabshallah and lift them back after the exams were over.
"During this period of ferrying to exam centre the deceased started trying to develop intimacy with the wife of the accused and the same process continued for over months till the accused found suspicious of it," he said adding that the accused during his interrogation further disclosed that the deceased had openly started commenting and praising his wife in front of him.
He said the accused disclosed that he had a foreign make pistol with him along with three live bullets which he claim to have received by him from his cousin Aamir Kamal, a local slain terrorist of HM in 2011 in Pinjrarri area and was lying with him since Aamir was eliminated by the security forces in an encounter same year.
"On March 9 during the day when the deceased again called the accused on mobile and again compelled him to arrange a dinner along with his wife at his residence, the accused finally made up his mind to eliminate the deceased. The accused mobilized the weapon kept by him in his house to his shop and at 3:30 pm had cleverly broken the charging pin of his mobile phone and deposited the same to the mobile repair shop so that the last call cannot be traced on his mobile. He however, informed the deceased to contact him on the mobile phone of one Shahdab, a resident of UP and a tenant in the same complex so that they can tie up the timing to move for dinner in the house of the accused. The accused closed his shop at around quarter to 8:00 pm, took the loaded pistol with him in a polythene bag and started waiting for the deceased at the main gate of the Dar Complex. He later on carried out the offence and pretended as if he had done nothing," said SP Kishtwar.

Q: How to exclude Weekend and compare current dates in MYSQL I'm comparing  data  with current date - 1 and  -2  dates in my table.
Sample  Data  :
Name  cnt  Dates
Mills 20    2022-07-15
Mills 15    2022-07-14
Mills 10    2022-07-13

I have  written query where  it  compares  current date - 1 and Current date - 2
SELECT Name,Date,`T-2`,`T-1`,Diff
    FROM (
SELECT  T.Name  ,T.Date,T.`T-1`,TT.`T-2`,TT.`T-2` - T.`T-1`  AS Diff FROM
(select  Name, Date, cnt AS 'T-1' from Acct where date = curdate() - 1 )T
INNER JOIN
(select  Name, Date, cnt AS 'T-2' from Acct where date = curdate() - 2)TT
ON T.Name = TT.Name )T

Now  when I execute  this  query Current date  (2022-07-18) it is  taking  -1  as  2022-07-17 and -2 as  2022-07-16.
I want  to exclude  weekends  and  compare  those  with Friday and Thursday .
Out put  :
Name   T-1   T-2  DIFF
Mills   20   15    5

A: Replace curdate() - 1 with conditional expression curdate() - case weekday(curdate()) when 0 then 3 when 6 then 2 else 1 end. Similar for curdate() - 2
SELECT Name,Date,`T-2`,`T-1`,Diff
    FROM (
SELECT  T.Name  ,T.Date,T.`T-1`,TT.`T-2`,TT.`T-2` - T.`T-1`  AS Diff FROM
(select  Name, Date, cnt AS 'T-1'
 from Acct
 where date = curdate() - case weekday(curdate()) when 0 then 3 when 6 then 2 else 1 end) T
INNER JOIN
(select  Name, Date, cnt AS 'T-2'
 from Acct
 where date = curdate() - case weekday(curdate()) when 0 then 4 when 1 then 4 when 6 then 3 else 2 end) TT
ON T.Name = TT.Name ) T

weekday()

A: SET @zi = curdate();
SET @x =   DAYOFWEEK(@zi);
SELECT @x;

case when  @x = 2 then  date = curdate() - 3 else  date = curdate() - 1 end

Get Cell Size from Raster Parameter?
I am trying to set up a script that takes a raster parameter and a polygon parameter, converts the polygon to raster, and uses the two rasters in the zonal statistics tool. I would like the cell size of the new raster (converted from polygon) to be the same as that of the raster parameter. The describe function does not expose cell size for rasters, and I have no other ideas. Thanks for any help or suggestions!
The meanCellHeight and meanCellWidth properties of the raster bands is what you are looking for.
The children property is documented under "Describe object properties"
For clarification purposes only, this code will work only in the python window within ArcMap and not within a stand-alone script.
If you need to run this in a separate python script (using ArcMap 10.5), you may need to add the creation of the raster element between of the declaration of the path for the raster and the Describe process.
In my case, if I wasn't creating the Raster element first, I would get an error stating that the list index was out of range cause by, according to my tests, the missing children portion of the code above.
As such, below is the revised version of the code for usage within a python script.

Is your mom a federal hero?
The intelligence community has talked about using open-source data for years, but a George Mason University doctoral candidate and his cohorts are taking the concept to the next level. The Wall Street Journal last week reported that Curtis Melvin and about a dozen other "citizen snoops" — some of whom are former military analysts — have spent the last two years using Google Earth's satellite images to map out the infrastructure of North Korea.
Joshua Stanton, an attorney in Washington who once served in the U.S. military in South Korea, used Google Earth to look for one of the country's notorious prisons. In early 2007, he read an international news report about a mass escape from Camp 16, which the report mentioned was near the site of a nuclear test conducted the year before.
No pictures of Camp 16 are believed to have been seen outside the country. But Mr. Stanton had pored over defector sketches of it and combed the map for familiar structures. "I realized I had already noticed the guard posts" on Google Earth the previous year for the nuclear test site, he says.
Mr. Stanton traced what he believed is Camp 16's boundary, enclosing nearly 300 square miles, and those of other large North Korean prisons and shared them with Mr. Melvin. The fences aren't easy to follow because they go over mountain ridges, he says. But satellite images often reveal gaps in the vegetation along the fence line, because trees are cleared on either side to prevent people from climbing over.

How does it go? The first lesson, something even the uninitiated know. For life to flourish on the most basic level, it requires four elements. Carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen.
We were doing fine on that count. The air around us was stale, but it was still oxygen. Water ran around and below us, flowing over our bare feet, redirected from gutters to the building's inside.
What had once been a barn had been made into a warehouse, then abandoned partway through a third set of changes. A floor of old wooden slats reached only halfway down the length of the old building, what had once been a hayloft. If we stood on the edge, we could look down at the floor below to see uneven floorboards on top of compacted dirt. The original barn's door was still there, mounted on rollers. I leaned over to get a better look. I could see a table, some scattered papers, books, and a blackboard. The only light was that which came in through windows. A scattered set placed on the upper floor, and more well above head height on the lower one.
Aside from the four of us, one other thing occupied the hayloft. It was hard to make out in the dim light that filtered in through the window, like an eel in dark water, and if it weren't for the fact that we'd seen it approach, we might not have noticed it at all. Sleek, four-legged, and tall enough I couldn't have reached its shoulder if I stood on my toes, it was wound around the pillar as a snake might be. Unlike a snake, though, it had four long limbs, each with four long digits, tipped with claws. Head flowed into neck, which flowed into shoulder and body without a without prominent ridge, bump, bone or muscle to interrupt the sequence.
It uncoiled, setting a claw on the floor, and the old floorboards didn't elicit an audible creak. Large as it was, it managed to distribute weight too evenly, and used its tail to suspend some of its weight.
It didn't walk, but slinked, each foot falling in front of the last as it passed within three feet of us. Its wide mouth parted, showing just a hint of narrow white teeth.
There was no cover, nothing to hide us from it.
I saw its nostrils flare. It opened its mouth to taste the air with a flick of a thin tongue.
The way things looked, we were very close to doing the opposite of 'flourishing'.
It was hard to put into words, but my thoughts connected with that thought, and it was funny.
I grinned, and flakes of wax fell from my face at the movement. I watched the thing continue onward, toward the back of the hayloft, head turning as it sniffed the surroundings. It unwound its long tail from the wooden pillar that held up the one end of the overhanging hayloft, and it moved with a slow carefulness.
I stared at its eye, and saw how it didn't move as the head swept from one side to the next, the slit of the iris barely changing in response as the faint light from the window swept over its head.
The movements of the creature came to a halt. It froze, nostrils wide.
Gordon, just to my left, put out a hand, covering my mouth. He was tense, lines on his neck standing out. Trying to put on a brave face, as our leader. Gordon, strong, handsome, likeable, talented. A veneer covered his face, as it did all of us, almost clear, cracked and white at the corners of his lips where he'd changed his expression, coming away in flakes at his hairline, where his hair was covered by the same substance.
The creature turned, and as it did its tail moved around until it touched the outside edge of the makeshift gutter that we were all standing in, fine emerald scales rasping against wood.
I nodded, and he pulled his hand away.
I had a glimpse of the girls. Helen and Lillian. As different as night and day. Lillian was bent over, hood up and over her head, hiding her face, hands clutching the straps of her bag, white knuckled. Terrified, and rightly so. The coating on her face was flaking badly.
In contrast, Helen's face didn't betray a flicker of emotion. Her golden hair, normally well cared for, cultivated into tight rolls, was damp and falling out of place. Water ran down her face, splashing in through the side of the window where the makeshift gutter came in, and the droplets didn't provoke one flinch or batted eyelash. She could have been a statue, and she'd kept her face still enough that the wax that covered it hadn't broken, which only helped the effect.
Still and silent, we watched as the creature moved to the far corner of the hayloft.
It snapped, and the four curved fangs were the only ones that were any wider than a pencil, visible for only an instant before the head disappeared into detritus piled in the corner. A furred form struggled before the creature could raise its head. No swallowing, per se. Gravity did the work, as teeth parted and the prey fell down its long throat.
A second bite let it collect another, small and young enough it couldn't even struggle. Tiny morsels.
"Kitties," Lillian whispered, horror overtaking fear in her expression.
Mama kitty shouldn't have had her babies in the same building as the monster, I thought. Wallace's law at work.
Gordon nudged me. He pointed.
The makeshift gutter was little more than a trough, with little care given for the leaks here and there, and it fed into wooden barrels at the edge of the upper floor, with more channels and troughs leading into sub-chambers and tanks below. It had been running long enough for debris and grime to accumulate, a combination of silt and scum collecting at the very bottom to make it treacherous. Our progress was slow, and I had to remind myself that anything faster threatened to make noise, or risked a fall.
As if to follow the thought, Lillian's foot skidded on the bottom of the trough, and she tipped forward, straight into Helen's arms. The creature stopped its slow consumption of the cat's litter.
We were frozen, waiting, while the creature sniffed the air.
It returned to its meal.
We made our way out, everyone but me flipping up their hoods to ward off the rain. I let the droplets fall where they would, on hair that refused to be bound down beneath a thick layer of waterproofing wax.
There was no ledge outside the window, only the real gutter. Bigger and more solid, if still treacherous with seasons of accumulated grime. The roof loomed above us, more up than over, as barn roofs were wont to be. Red leaves collected here and there.
There was no questioning it, no argument. We couldn't afford to make the noise, and it made a degree of sense.
"I'll go first," I volunteered, craning my head a bit to see the way down. Being the sort of building it was, the barn-turned-warehouse-turned-something-else was tall, with a long way to the bottom. The gutter pointed groundward at the corner, fixed to the brick exterior at regular points by lengths of metal. It worked as a ladder, but not one that was fun to use. The 'rungs' were too far apart, too close to the wall.
Someone grabbed my arm. I thought it would be Gordon or Helen, as they had the personalities to be arm-grabbers. It wasn't.
"Me?" I tried to sound innocent.
Gordon jabbed me. His expression was no-nonsense, his green eyes a steely grey beneath his hood, absorbing the colors of the clouds above. His mouth was a grim line.
"I'll take your bag," Gordon whispered. Again, there was no argument. Lillian handed over the backpack, loaded down with tools and supplies.
She accepted Gordon's support in getting down to the downspout, and began her slow descent.
I fidgeted. My eye traveled over our surroundings, buildings scattered like they'd been blown around by strong winds and planted where they lay. Older structures had a charm to them, simplicity and a character that came with age and gentle wear and tear. The oldest and the newest buildings had been shored up by strategic plant growth, branches weaving into and through damaged sections, growing to complement masonry, around bricks and supports. The very newest growths had a characteristic red tint to the leaves. The rest were dead, left to petrify.
The Academy loomed above it all, those same elements taken to an extreme. It had been an old collection of buildings once. A rush to grow and meet surging demand had led to a lot of the same haphazard growth.
It all had an odor. There were smells that became second nature, and there were smells that were ingrained in the psyche as bad smells. Ones that spoke of death, of long sickness, and of violence. Rendered fat, decay, and blood. Each were heavy on the air.
Ironic, that things so overgrown and reeking of decay were the parts of the city charged with progress.
You'd think the rain would wash away the smell.
I checked. Lillian had moved down one rung. I shifted my weight from one foot to the next, annoyed.
She wasn't one of us. She was new. Allowances had to be made.
It wasn't the first time I had told myself any of those things. I'd heard it from Gordon. It didn't make it any less annoying.
I bent down, peering over the edge of the gutter to the road below. I could see the windows, the boxes further down.
Gripping the ledge, I swung myself over.
I let go, and enjoyed both the moment of utter terror and Lillian's gasp of horror, before my fingers caught hold of the window frame below.
My right foot slipped on the damp windowsill, scraping peeling paint off and away before I brought it back up to the sill. Water and paint flakes sprayed below.
When I looked up, Gordon's head was poking over the edge, looking down at me.
Peering in the window, I could see the interior, the lower floor. The desk, the notes on the experiment. Another table was heavy with lines of bottles, vials, jugs, and yet more papers, scattered. Rain poured down on me, tracing its way down the back of my neck, beneath my shirt. The waxed and waterproof cowl and short cloak had kept my shirt dry, and I shivered at the sensation.
I tested the window, and was utterly surprised to find it latched. I drew a key from my pocket, trying to fit it into the gap, hoping to lift the latch, but it proved too thick.
The key went back in place. I removed my hands from the windowsill one at a time, to dry them in my armpits and then reposition my grip.
Holding the windowsill with my left hand, reaching with my right leg, I touched the frame with my big toe. I found a grip, and I used it to better position myself. Fingers dug into the space between bricks, where water had worn away mortar, and I heaved myself over, using my toes and only my toes to perch on the top of the doorway.
Were it any other door, I wouldn't have fussed, but I was still just high enough off the ground to have cause to worry. This had been a barn, and this door was the type that let wagons or draft horses inside.
I paused on top of the door, cleaning my hands of wet and grit.
"Watching you do that is making me nervous," Lillian said, looking down at me. She'd progressed two more 'rungs'. She was the shortest of us, next to me, it didn't make it easier for her.
I flashed her a grin, and more of the waterproofing wax that I'd caked onto my face cracked.
I worked my way down to a crouch, still on top of the door, then slid down, draping my front against the door itself. I let myself drop the rest of the way, landing bare-footed in mud.
I couldn't get the smile off my face as I passed beneath the drain pipe, making a point of looking up at Lillian, who was making a point of her own in turn, glaring down at me, very clearly annoyed.
"You had an audience," a soft voice stated.
Amid empty crates and a door that had been taken off its hinges, jumbled together as trash and detritus, I could make out the fifth member of our contingent. Jamie had a book in his lap, our collected boots and shoes neatly organized around him, and he had company. A black-skinned boy with a hood and cloak far too large for him, tattered enough that it had probably been a hand-me-down for the last person to own it. His eyes were wide.
"I thought you were keeping lookout," I said.
"Is he trouble?" Jamie asked.
"The snake thing," I said.
The boy didn't respond. He watched Lillian's glacially slow descent.
I met Jamie's eyes. If it weren't for Helen, who was a special case, I might have called Jamie the quiet one. He wore eyeglasses, though there were all sorts of ways to fix or replace bad eyes, and his hair was long beneath his hood. Not out of any style or affectation. He simply never liked how it looked when it was short. His face was narrow, his eyes large as he shifted his gaze to look from me to Lillian. His hands held firm to a book that sat across his knees.
I wanted him to figure out how to deal with our bystander, given how he'd failed to warn us about the boy in the first place, but Jamie was silent.
"I know his," I said, striving to not sound as annoyed at the question as I felt. I pointed at Jamie to make myself as clear as possible.
"Sly," Jamie said, suddenly paying attention to the issue. The name was a warning.
He looked rather uneasy now.
His eyes moved. To me, then Jamie, to Lillian, and then the barn-turned-warehouse.
"You're clever," I praised him.
I made the universal gesture for money, rubbing thumb against two fingers.
The gears were shifting in his head. Processing, calculating.
"I've heard things," he said.
"I don't doubt it," I said.
"If you know who to tell, and how to sell it," I said.
His expression changed, a frown. Disappointment.
Tick, tick, turn turn. The gears in his head were still moving.
He wasn't dumb, even if he wasn't much of an actor. Then again, he was only ten or so.
I could guess what he was going to ask, and I knew I might lose him if I turned him down too many times.
My mind ticked over possibilities. What I needed, what I had to do.
"In?" he asked. Now he was wary.
I reached beneath my cloak, and I fished out a coinpurse. Two fingers reached in, and came out fully extended, two dollars in coins pressed between the tips.
He reached for and claimed the money without any hesitation.
"You said you had friends?" I asked.
"I can do it," Thom said.
"I can do it," he said, voice firm.
I studied him, head to toe, taking it all in.
Reaching beneath my cloak, I collected a note from a pocket. I pressed it into his hands.
He looked down at the money, stunned.
He went, running, feet splashing in puddles of water.
Lillian was about halfway down.
"You lied to him," Jamie said.
"Would you rather I told the truth?" I asked.
"That's not what I'm asking," Jamie said.
But he didn't move from his spot, and I was already gone.
I passed under Lillian a second time, peeking up her skirt a second time, more to needle her than out of any lingering curiosity. The big door was, as it turned out, locked, and I wasn't able to bypass the big padlock any more than I could bypass the latch of the window above. But the door rolled on wheels, and the wheels fit in ruts, a long, shallow channel.
I headed to the end of the door opposite the lock, and I pushed the full weight of my body against it. The lock rattled, heavy.
I tried a bit more pressure, pushing, and the door tilted, the bottom corner closest to me rising out of the channel. Gripping the door, I lifted it up and away, wood scraping concrete as I created a triangular gap.
I slipped inside, my eyes immediately going to the hayloft, the upper floor.
Helen was there, sitting with one foot propped up, both hands in her lap to keep her skirt pressed down. Her face was still expressionless. Half of her attention was on me. Half was on the creature. There was a rain barrel beside her, rigged so it hung over the edge of the hayloft, collecting the water that ran in through the makeshift gutter, feeding a steady stream down into containers below. Runoff from those containers fed into the corner of the building. A drain from when the building had been a warehouse, keeping the goods dry.
I studied the papers on the desk. Water from one of the windows above spat down. Barely large enough to qualify as drops, but they dotted one paper, making ink bleed. Sketches of the beast. Notations on structure and anatomy.
One of the texts on a table beside the desk was hand-made. Pages had holes in them, and a cord was laced through, tying them to the heavy leather cover. With care, I paged through the thing.
One being, knit together from several. The better traits of each, all drawn together. References to Wollstone's texts, to the ratios of life, and to the volumes of genetic code for Felidae and Eunectes Murinus.
A whole chapter on digestive enzymes. Diagrams of the thing's fangs, which I had glimpsed as it devoured the mother cat, with labels for the reservoirs of venom that wasn't true venom. It was enzymes, much like the ones bugs used to dissolve their meals before supping them. Notes suggested that the feature helped with the digestion of any and all food.
Little doubt of what this thing had been engineered for.
Venom. I'd expected it to be green, but it was clear, in a glass container with a murky exterior, about as tall and wide as a wine bottle, though more cylindrical.
There was a noise at the door, and I took a long step to the side, toward the shadows beside one of the big wooden containers for water.
Only Lillian, followed by Gordon, passing through the gap. Gordon was the largest of us, and it was a particularly tight fit for him.
I continued paging through the text.
My eye traveled down the list. Meal times, meal sources, meal sizes.
It wasn't fully grown, but it was close, and it grew fast. Two meals a week.
I recalled that it had eaten the cat, and then looked back at the entries.
Forty pounds, sixty pounds, forty pounds, est. one hundred pounds… I noted the numbers, and tried to find the pattern between those numbers and the meals.
I moved ahead a few pages until I reached the first partial page. Room left for more entries.
Last meal, just over two days ago, goat carcass. It was hungry already. Quite possibly getting ready for one last growth spurt. The more recent meals were larger.
I tapped the book, getting his attention, and stepped away while he read the entries.
He didn't have much of a chance to read.
There was a sound outside, violent, of things falling over. Chaos.
I could picture Jamie's hiding spot, the way the door had been propped up. This was a warning.
You don't have to tell me, I thought, but I held my tongue.
Very carefully, I closed the book. I shifted the angle to return it to the position it had been in. My eye swept over the room.
Water on the floor. Did it matter?
No. There was no time, besides.
I slipped into the shadowy crevice between the water tank and the wall. Gordon and Lillian were already gone. Helen, who had been above, watching everything, was now gone. No doubt hiding behind the water barrel, a step away from where she had been.
Four seconds passed before I heard the lock rattle.
The door's wheel slammed back down into the rut as it was pulled to one side, but there was no sign of concern or suspicion.
He closed the door behind him, and the sound of something being dragged joined the sound of hard shoe soles on the wooden floor, marking his progress across his makeshift laboratory.
He made seemingly deliberate noise as he cleared a table, then dropped his burden on top of it.
I heard a grunt, his, and the smell of blood filled the air.
The amount of light in the room shifted. I judged it to be the beast's bulk blocking the light from the windows above.
"There you are," he said.
With swift strides, he crossed to the water tank I crouched beside. He wasted no time in dipping his hands inside, splashing water as he swished his hands inside. Some of the water that slopped around the top of the tank splashed down on top of me.
I was close enough to touch him.
There was a scuffle and a thud as the cat-snake creature touched ground, eager to get to its meal. Its creator was already at the desk, picking select vials, dabbing a bit on his wrist, then rubbing his wrists together.
I thought of Gordon's gesture. Touching his nose.
It was how he controlled the beast he had made.
I could see him as he tidied papers, only periodically glancing over his shoulder. He hummed. But for some stubble on his chin, he looked like a gentleman, with a four-button vest under a butcher's apron and an ankle-length raincoat. His hair was sandy, parted to one side.
I could see the creature raise its head. The meal was in its mouth, and it was angling its head to let it all slide down its gullet.
Its creator used a pair of tongs to collect a bloody sack. I took it to be the sack the creature's meal had been in. Another pig, perhaps.
Then the tongs clanged to the floor. The beast changed the angle of its head.
"A child?" the man's voice was touched with incredulity.
There was a commotion, a scrape of steel on concrete as a foot dragged on the tongs.
I remained where I was.
The struggle continued, intermittent, as he backed up, the desk of papers to one side, the table of bottles to the other. He had a carving knife to Gordon's throat. Presumably the same one he'd used to cut open the creature's meal and get its attention.
"Five, if you count him," she said, her voice small.
I stepped out of the gap by the water tank.
Helen was above, at the hayloft. Standing by the edge. Lillian was closer to the door. She and Gordon had been hiding in or near a garbage bin.
The beast was relaxed, having just eaten its fill.
"Children?" the man sounded incredulous.
He wasn't wrong. At thirteen, Lillian was the oldest of us. Gordon was only twelve as of last month.
"Yeah," Gordon said, his voice strained. The man had his throat caught in the crook of one arm, exposing his lower throat.
His eye traveled over each of us in turn. I saw the faintest crease appear between his eyebrows.
I met Lillian's eyes. I jerked my chin. Pointed at her with my hand.
The easy, natural interactions and cooperation that followed from years of working together weren't there with Lil. She was new. A recent addition to the group.
I almost thought she got the wrong idea, until she opened her mouth.
"The witnesses are wrong," the man said.
I edged around behind the man.
Helen froze where she was.
I edged closer to the table.
I didn't make a sound, but the snake charmer sensed trouble before it arrived. He wheeled on me, the knife dangerously close to Gordon's throat.
I lunged in the same movement, seizing the big bottle. The venom. I held it high.
"You don't care what happens to him?" the snake charmer asked.
The snake charmer's eyes darted around. He couldn't watch all of us at once.
"It's over, snake charmer," Gordon said.
"No," the snake charmer said.
"You don't know?" Gordon asked.
"There are ways," Lillian said.
I could see the man's expression twist. Incomprehension. Comprehension, which was almost worse. Hatred for a thirteen year old girl.
Then rage, not a clean, pure kind, but one that only drove him further into a corner.
His hand tightened on the grip of the knife.
I figured out the destination he was arriving at before he did.
I arrived at my own, and I mustered up some courage.
Very deliberately, I grunted, heaving the bottle of acid at the snake charmer.
He heard the grunt, but so did Gordon. With the snake charmer's attention caught between Lillian and me, Gordon found a chance to protect his throat, keeping the knife from cutting.
The bottle flew lazily through the air. Gordon ducked, head down, and the snake charmer released him.
The man caught the bottle in a bear hug.
He stared down at the container.
All the same emotions he'd felt for Lillian, now aimed at me, progressing much faster this time. Incomprehension, comprehension, hatred, rage.
I backed away, stumbling, falling. I covered my face as he swung, using the waterproof cloth to try and shield my body.
He didn't throw at me, but at the floor. The chance of me catching it was small, but by throwing it at the floor, he could guarantee that the bottle would shatter into a spray I couldn't possibly shield all of myself from.
The pain was sharp, at first, droplets touching skin, immediately breaking it down. Then it burned.
The horrible coldness was worse, because it suggested dying nerves. All down my arms, and one side of my face.
The creature turned its head, but didn't move.
The man turned, wheeling on the others. Gordon was ready, already closing in, taking advantage of the short moment it took the snake charmer to adjust his grip on the knife, so soon after heaving the bottle.
A tackle, shoulder into the man's gut, taking advantage of smaller size and a good physique. Gordon drove the man back.
Gordon was the hero, golden haired, noble, likeable. Talented.
When he broke away, letting the snake charmer stumble back two steps, recovering balance, Gordon had the knife in hand.
The beast rose to its feet. Sniffing.
I managed to stop screaming, going as still as possible.
It still edged closer to me. Interested.
Helen acted. Tipping over the barrel.
Drenching the snake charmer, washing away his charm, the pheromones.
The snake charmer made an incoherent noise.
"Try it," the snake charmer said.
Gordon did. He approached, and the snake charmer tried to grab him.
The man's hands only grabbed clothes. A hood and cloak meant to keep the rain off. Gordon let him, and ducked low, the clothing bunching up around his neck and upper chest.
Gordon sliced the snake charmer's stomach. A shallow cut.
Another grab, wrestling Gordon, trying to overpower with strength, seizing one arm.
Gordon let the knife drop out of one hand, falling into the palm of another.
He cut the back of the man's left knee. When the man fell, screaming, Gordon cut the other knee. He skipped back as the snake charmer fell.
The snake stirred, its attention no longer predominantly on me.
I could see the snake charmer realizing the same thing I had minutes ago. He knew his experiment. He knew how it hunted. It scavenged, sniffing out prey. Blind, it reacted to noise and smell. Minimizing the noise one made was vital.
Given the situation, however, staying silent spelled the man's doom. Already, his creation was sniffing him out. He smelled of blood.
He used his arms to pull himself forward, progressing toward the table. Each motion drew more attention from his beast.
Foot by foot, he closed on the table, and each sound was akin to a fisherman's line, reeling in the beast.
Gordon kicked the leg of the table, hard. The table shifted a foot, and the snake charmer collapsed.
The snake charmer looked at us. At Gordon, then Helen, who loomed above, perched on the hayloft. At me, as I glared at him, my face burned. At Lillian, who was sitting in the corner, hands over her head.
Who was not one of us.
Helen's expression didn't change. Gordon shifted his position, placing himself between the snake charmer and the table, arms folded. I remained where I was, limp and breathing hard.
I could see it dawn on the man. Comprehension settling in as he realized what he was dealing with.
The snake seized the man's feet, and began the very slow process of swallowing him.
The snake charmer's screams became frantic.
"Lillian," Gordon said, raising his voice to be heard over the screams.
I felt the burning stop as Lillian tended to me. By the time she was done, the screams had stopped. The powder that dusted me made it hard to see, but that was fine. I was lifted to my feet.
"Off we go," he said.
I could hear the door open.


Do I Lose My Bookmarks If I Uninstall My Web Browser?
Internet Explorer days are long gone, we now have many modern web browsers that do a fantastic job at bringing all the web content to you in a fast and quality manner. Browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera and many others offer a pleasant web browsing experience with lots of features, themes and addons.
Often times, web users prefer to access Internet using multiple web browsers on their devices for different purposes. One browser for daily browsing needs, one browser for playing online browser games, one browser for secure financial activities (e.g. accessing bank accounts), one browser for web design & development, and so on. Sometimes, you may need to uninstall a browser that you will no longer use and install a new one with enhanced features. Or, sometimes a browser may get bugged due to some unwanted extensions or malware spreading websites, and the only way to fix it may turn out to be completely removing it from your computer.
While uninstalling a web browser is a simple task that won't usually take more than a few seconds, it should be done with caution and it requires paying attention to certain things in order not to lose any important information or preferences you have stored on your browser. Website bookmarks, your saved links in other words, is one of the important things you should keep in mind while uninstalling a browser, but there are some other things that might be equally important.
While doing the things we will mention in this section will take a bit of your time whenever you decide to uninstall a browser, they are worth keeping in mind and checking before the uninstallation if you want to save yourself from having a lot of frustration.
If you are using an older version of your browser other than the latest one for certain reasons, take not of the version number as you may need it if you decide to install it again. Some extensions you might be relying on may not have been updated to the latest version, hence they may not work unless you install that specific version of your browser.
Your web history keeps track of all the web pages you have visited online, unless you have been using the private browsing mode or deleted it. Sometimes you may have forgotten to bookmark important pages that if the history is gone, you will have difficulty recalling them. Check your web history and make sure there are no such pages or bookmark them if there are.
If you have any themes or extensions installed on your browser, note their names and installation URLs if possible, so that you can easily re-install them in case you decide to install the same browser again. It is easy to forget the exact name of an extension that you are frequently using which makes it hard to find afterwards, hence taking note of them before the uninstallation is always a good idea. If you are having issues with your browser that makes you consider uninstalling it, you can also try uninstalling themes and extensions first.
Quickly reviewing your browser options is also a good idea to make sure there's no important information left and to have an idea which options you used to quickly adjust the browser in a future re-installation.
Most browsers have started to allow you to sync your data, bookmarks etc. across multiple devices (computers, phones, tablets) which you should do if you want to keep all the data on your browser.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, you should back up your bookmarks, that is, if you want to keep them, before uninstalling your browser. We talk about this in further detail below.
When you bookmark a web page or a group of tabs, they will be stored in the bookmarks section of the browser. Bookmarks are quite handy for most web users as they allow quick access to hundreds of sites with a few clicks. Some users may go as far as collecting thousands of bookmarks over the years, which would certainly be a shame if they were lost by mistake.
As someone who has lost browser bookmarks a couple of times due to forgetting to back them up before uninstalling the browser, I know the frustration very well. So, to answer to the question that is asked in the title of this post, yes, you will lose your bookmarks if you uninstall your browser, unless you back them up first.
