Q: How to create `df2` with four numerical variables using three cathegorical variables and one numerical variable from `df` I have next dataframe:
  df <- data.frame(ID=c(rep(c("A"),8),rep(c("B"),8)),
                   Datetime=c("2020-08-05 12:00:00","2020-08-05 17:00:00","2020-08-05 18:03:00","2020-08-05 22:54:00","2020-08-06 01:08:00","2020-08-06 13:26:00","2020-08-06 19:04:00","2020-08-08 11:00:00",
                              "2020-08-04 03:00:00","2020-08-04 15:00:00","2020-08-04 23:00:00","2020-08-06 14:00:00","2020-08-06 17:00:00","2020-08-06 20:00:00","2020-08-07 04:00:00","2020-08-07 16:00:00"),
                   Period=c("Day","Day","Day","Night","Night","Day","Night","Day","Night","Day","Night","Day","Day","Night","Night","Day"),
                   State=c(1,2,1,1,1,1,2,2,1,1,1,2,2,1,1,1),
                   Acc=c(1.1,2.3,1.7,1.4,0.1,1.9,2.9,2.3,1.1,0.1,1.4,0.2,2.6,1.3,1.7,1.0))

  df$Datetime <- as.POSIXct(df$Datetime,format="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", tz="UTC")

  df

   ID            Datetime Period State Acc
1   A 2020-08-05 12:00:00    Day     1 1.1
2   A 2020-08-05 17:00:00    Day     2 2.3
3   A 2020-08-05 18:03:00    Day     1 1.7
4   A 2020-08-05 22:54:00  Night     1 1.4
5   A 2020-08-06 01:08:00  Night     1 0.1
6   A 2020-08-06 13:26:00    Day     1 1.9
7   A 2020-08-06 19:04:00  Night     2 2.9
8   A 2020-08-08 11:00:00    Day     2 2.3
9   B 2020-08-04 03:00:00  Night     1 1.1
10  B 2020-08-04 15:00:00    Day     1 0.1
11  B 2020-08-04 23:00:00  Night     1 1.4
12  B 2020-08-06 14:00:00    Day     2 0.2
13  B 2020-08-06 17:00:00    Day     2 2.6
14  B 2020-08-06 20:00:00  Night     1 1.3
15  B 2020-08-07 04:00:00  Night     1 1.7
16  B 2020-08-07 16:00:00    Day     1 1.0

I need to estimate the mean value of Acc per ID, day, Period and State. I would need a dataframe like this:
  ID   Datetime State.1_day State.1_night State.2_day State.2_night
1  A 2020-08-04          NA            NA          NA            NA # This day there was no data for `A`, but there was for `B`.
2  A 2020-08-05         1.4           1.4         2.3            NA
.  .      .              .             .           .              .
.  .      .              .             .           .              .
.  .      .              .             .           .              .

Does anyone know how to get it? I don't know how to calculate the mean using all these variables at once and then create the columns I showed.
Thanks in advance

A: Here is one approach using the tidyverse. If you want to show all days even if they are not present for some IDs then use the second approach.
library(tidyverse)

# your data
df <- data.frame(ID=c(rep(c("A"),8),rep(c("B"),8)),
                 Datetime=c("2020-08-05 12:00:00","2020-08-05 17:00:00","2020-08-05 18:03:00","2020-08-05 22:54:00","2020-08-06 01:08:00","2020-08-06 13:26:00","2020-08-06 19:04:00","2020-08-08 11:00:00",
                            "2020-08-04 03:00:00","2020-08-04 15:00:00","2020-08-04 23:00:00","2020-08-06 14:00:00","2020-08-06 17:00:00","2020-08-06 20:00:00","2020-08-07 04:00:00","2020-08-07 16:00:00"),
                 Period=c("Day","Day","Day","Night","Night","Day","Night","Day","Night","Day","Night","Day","Day","Night","Night","Day"),
                 State=c(1,2,1,1,1,1,2,2,1,1,1,2,2,1,1,1),
                 Acc=c(1.1,2.3,1.7,1.4,0.1,1.9,2.9,2.3,1.1,0.1,1.4,0.2,2.6,1.3,1.7,1.0))

df$Datetime <- as.POSIXct(df$Datetime,format="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", tz="UTC")

# first approach
df %>%
  group_by(ID, Day = as.Date(Datetime), Period, State) %>%
  summarise(Acc = mean(Acc, na.rm = TRUE)) %>%
  pivot_wider(names_from = c(State, Period),
              values_from = Acc,
              names_prefix = "State.")

# second approach
df %>%
  group_by(ID, Day = as.factor(as.Date(Datetime)), Period, State, .drop = FALSE) %>%
  summarise(Acc = mean(Acc, na.rm = TRUE)) %>%

The Good Doctor season 4 episode 7 spoilers: 'The Uncertainty Principle'
The Good Doctor	 January 11, 2021
Curious to learn some more news all about The Good Doctor season 4 episode 7? This episode carries with it the title of "The Uncertainty Principle," and like tonight was a spotlight on Dr. Lim, we could be moving into one for Dr. Reznick. It's a different sort of story than what she's experienced before, largely because it revolves around a different sort of patient.
For a few more details now, let's go ahead and share the Good Doctor season 4 episode 7 synopsis:
"The Uncertainty Principle" – Dr. Morgan Reznick discovers her patient's wealth and obsession with extending his life is a dangerous mix that could end up costing more than he can afford on "The Good Doctor," MONDAY, JAN. 18 (10:00-11:00 p.m. EST), on ABC. Episodes can also be viewed the next day on demand and on Hulu.
So why is The Good Doctor focusing on some of these character-specific stories at the moment? A lot of it comes down to giving all of their cast specific moments in the sun, especially since Shaun has had so much story already. Also, we imagine that some of these plots are going to ultimately circle back to each other and be important in framing whatever the endgame looks like this season. Since we are still fairly early into the season, it's hard to know exactly what that will be.
Ultimately, we imagine that Morgan is going to be far from the only character of note within this episode, but she is the focal point seemingly. With a case like this, she could likely lean on some other characters here and there for their expertise. For the time being, this is precisely what we'd expect.

The exchange of wedding rings has not changed since the Ancient Egyptian times no matter how much each ceremony differs and vows are exchanged, the tradition of exchanging ring is a traditional sign which displays the eternal love within many religion and cultures. The ring symbolises love and harmony between two people the circle represents eternity no beginnings nor ends, the inner hole future events and giving the ring displays never ending love for each other.
Traditionally wedding ring is a simple gold band with no pattern nor design, however in recent year's rings which are engraved and with precious gem and diamonds has become popular.
When looking at purchasing a wedding ring ensure to give it the same attention as the engagement ring although the engagement ring diamond/gem takes the heart of the stage finding the wedding band is as important as you will be wearing this with your engagement ring day in day out. Set a budget, look at different style of rings and metal as any additional knowledge will give you confidence in choosing the right ring for yourself and your partner. If your engagement ring was a surprise then this maybe something you can choose together to complete the bridal ring set.
Try the rings on preferably with your engagement ring to see how it looks, see different shapes and see what fits comfortably alongside your engagement ring.

I am a weepy man, so this will surprise no one, but I always get very emotional in Wes Anderson films. I've cried more than once. But that speech at the end of Fantastic Mr. Fox transcended any simple children story that sought to lie to children. I should have made that bit you quote the epigraph to my book.
His poise has a too-obvious air of desperation to it: his poise is an attempt to construct a world because a constructed world is one that he can control; the fantasy is that a constructed world of beauty might be a defence against brutality.
I also thought this was a marvelous moment of self-consciousness on Anderson's part, but I didn't think to take it the step further that you did — that he's also claiming the sense of possibility of smuggling in the tools. I think you're quite right. Really well put.
I also love this post. Thanks for cross-posting it.

Ms Lynda Bowyer, the new group co-ordinator of Wallingford Community Speedwatch, spoke about current priorities, including the identification of 'hot spots' within the Town. This initiative had been set in motion by the Town Council itself and was being treated as primarily educational. Speedwatches like this had proved effective across the country in curtailing speeding.
Some Members expressed concern at speeding during late evenings and at night time. Unfortunately the Thames Valley Police insurance did not cover monitoring during these hours

Bro. N. Raj Prakash Paul Telugu Christian Songs Veekshana is one of the popular albums.popular songs with meaning behind them - Music fans spend a lot of time trying to find meaning in the songs they know and love. Well, it turns out a lot of our most popular songs.
The song Athi thwaralo meaning is that When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.
Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the LordThe revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw.

In this course we will use Visual Studio Code as the editor. Visual Studio Code is free and you can use it on any platform - Windows, Mac or Linux. If you have not installed it already, please install it by downloading from the following link.
To create a new Angular Project, open Command Prompt as an Administrator and execute the following command. This command creates all the required files and also installs all the required packages. Depending on your computer and internet connection speed, this command takes a few minutes to complete.
There are several options that we can use with "ng new". We will discuss all these options in our next video.
Once the above command has completed successfully you will see the following messages.
All the required configuration and source files are created.
We will discuss unit tests, end-to-end tests, Karma and Protractor in our upcoming videos.
Please note that all these code and configuration files are created by the Angular CLI out of the box while still following the angular teams best practices and conventions.
Now execute the following command at the command prompt to open the project folder in Visual Studio Code. Notice there is a single space and a DOT after the word code.
At this point in Visual Studio Code you will see all the Angular project files. Also notice node_modules folder, that conatins all the installed packages.
We will discuss, what all these files are and their purpose in our upcoming videos.
To run the project using Angular CLI, type the following command at the command prompt. This command builds the application and opens it in our default browser. The flag --open, launches our default browser and runs the application. By default the application runs on port 4200. We can change this port number if required. We will discuss how to do that in our upcoming videos.
At the moment, the angular development server is running in watch mode, meaning when a file changes, those changes are automatically detected, compiled and the browser reloads to reflect the changes. This is called live reload. We can turn this live reload functionality off, if required. Again we will discuss how to do this in our upcoming videos.
To stop the server, press CTRL + C while you are on the command prompt and then "Y" and ENTER key. This will stop the server.
We will discuss Unit tests, end-to-end tests and all the options we can use to run them using Angular CLI in our upcoming videos.

HMRC has estimated that a possible £90 million of tax liabilities may be recouped after proposed changes, which would see offshore bosses be, in the initial instance, liable for deducting national insurance contributions (NICs) and income tax from workers through the HMRC Real Time Information System.
If the changes go ahead, offshore bosses will certainly need the services of a reliable tax advisor, regardless of whether they use an accountant in Liverpool, Chester or anywhere else.
For NICs and tax, an offshore employer's obligations will match those of an employer based in the UK. This includes being liable for statutory payments going to the employee, such as maternity pay and statutory sick pay. Where NICs and income tax have been paid to the MRC, offshore employers will be treated as having met its obligations.
"The existing legislation has been exploited, particularly in certain sectors, allowing companies who are willing to set up offshore arrangements to gain a competitive advantage over those businesses who play by the rules.
The consultation is expected to put a stop to such methods of avoidance. Once it has closed, there will be an update to NIC legislation which will include the changes being proposed. Parliament will come face to face with these changes in September.

Q: Google Cloud Vision API response structure Getting this response when invoking vision.documentTextDetection()

What's the point in some properties as empty arrays and some as null?
I'm trying to make conditional rendering and got stuck on truthy values when IRL they aren't.

A: I can't speak for the creators of the API, but it makes sense in terms of you writing less code to get more work done.
If the array fields in question are always arrays and nothing else, then you simply make the assumption in your code that they are arrays.  This means that if you want to know if something was returned in that array safely, then all you have to do is check the length of the array, or just iterate it.
On the other hand, if the array fields in question are sometimes arrays, maybe null, then you have to write code to first check if the array field is null, then write code to check the array.
Which would you rather do?  1) Assume the field is an array and deal with it.  Or 2) Check to see if it's actually an array, then deal with it as such?  Seems to me that it's more convenient to just assume array, and write less code.


Floor lamp from the 1960's, manufactured in Switzerland by Temde Leuchten. The lamp stands out for its stunning space age design. It is equipped with nine mat white glass globes, each covering one E14 light bulb.
The lamp produces a soft light. It is in a very good condition. Only the base has slightly yellowed, which is normal for this model.


A simple one-pot supper that is warming for the soul. Red split lentils provide a quick-and-easy creamy base without the need to soak them.
The coconut and ginger have incredible immune-boosting properties and, as usual, we like to sneak nourishing homemade broth into all our cooking.
With this fragrant curry, the bone broth is purely for the nutritional value, so you can afford to skip it if you don't have any to hand (but please don't be tempted to use stock cubes).
Try this curry with Toasted Coconut Green Beans, Cauliflower Rice, or Broccoli Rice, or serve with a pile of watercress on top or add in lots of finely shredded cabbage towards the end of the cooking time.
The Hemsleys will be at BBC Good Food Show Summer in the City (ExCel London) as a part of the BBC Good Food Eat Well Show on Saturday 21st May and Sunday 22nd May.
1. In a large wide pan, dry fry the peanuts or cashews for a few minutes to toast them, roughly chop and then set aside.
3. Add the lentils, the roughly chopped coconut solids or coconut milk, and then most of the bone broth or water (a bit less if you're using the coconut milk) and stir well. This should be enough liquid for the coconut solids to dissolve, but keep an eye on the liquid levels so that the lentils don't stick and burn at the bottom.
4. After 6 minutes of cooking over a medium-high heat, add the aubergine and stir.
5. After a further 10 minutes, add the tomato, courgette, lime or lemon zest and the tamari or salt. Add more bone broth or water if you think your curry needs it.
6. After 6 minutes, turn off the heat and add the lime or lemon juice, the maple syrup and fresh herbs, then stir and taste. You might need a little more tamari or salt or lime or lemon juice to add sourness.
7. Top with the nuts and serve with watercress or your chosen side dish. If we're having guests round, we like to serve our curry with some little bowls of extras (nuts, herbs, lemon or lime wedges and a bowl of tamari or sea salt) so everyone can help themselves to extra toppings- a handful of peanuts or cashew nuts (preferably 'crispy').

Q: rails3-jquery-autocomplete, passing object id in params in Rails app I am using rails3-jquery-autocomplete (version rails3-jquery-autocomplete (1.0.2)) in a Rails 3.0.10 app with Mongoid. The gem works like a charm, there's only one little issue I am having.  Would appreciate any help in solving it.
I am basically trying to pass the id of an autocomplete search result in the params.  Currently, this is what I'm doing.
In the controller:
class FeaturesController < ApplicationController
  autocomplete :feature, :name
end

In the view:
= autocomplete_field_tag :replacement_id, ' ', autocomplete_feature_name_features_path,  :id_elements => '#replacement_id'

The routes files
resources :features do
  get :autocomplete_feature_name, :on => :collection
end

The autocomplete works fine.  The only thing is that instead of passing the id of the automcompleted object (using :id_elements => '#replacement_id'), it passes the text.
This is what I get in the params:
Parameters: {"feature"=>{"status"=>"Replaced"}, "replacement_id"=>"Property agreements", "commit"=>"update_status"}

Currently the value of "replacement_id" is "Property agreements", which is the autocomplete text.
I have been searching around for related problems.   I found that in the issues list on Github there had been similar problems in previous versions of the gem here and here.  They have already been solved, so there must be something wrong with my setup above.
Many thanks.
======UPDATE======
oops! noticed a typo in the view helper! It should be :id_element instead of :id_elements. At the mo, doing so does the trick, i.e. it passes the object id in the params:
e.g. in the params:
"replacement_id"=>"4e915ec88a812e2740000353"

However it inserts the object id in the autocomplete text box instead of the autocompleted text. Might find a way around that.
======UPDATE========
To get around not being able to display the autocomplete text in the text box (at the moment it shows the id), I have made the following changes:
View: I used the :update_elements option
= autocomplete_field_tag :replacement_id, '', autocomplete_feature_name_features_path, :update_elements => {:id => '#input#replacement_id', :name => 'input#replacement_id'}

Controller:
autocomplete :feature, :name, :display_value => :replacement_name, :extra_data => [:name]

:name is a method which I placed in the model:
def replacement_name
 "#{self.name}"
end

Doing so displays the text in the autocomplete text box, but now the selected object id isn't passed in the params, the text is instead (as it was originally).

A: This line
  = autocomplete_field_tag :replacement_id, '', autocomplete_feature_name_features_path, :update_elements => {:id => '#input#replacement_id', :name => 'input#replacement_id'}

should look probably like
= autocomplete_field_tag :replacement_id, '', controllername(ex: users)_autocomplete_feature_name_path, ....

anyway, I used this in view without next line:
 :update_elements => {:id => '#input#replacement_id', :name => 'input#replacement_id'}

may be you have a different task, but give it a try.

1. SMART SHOPPER
The landlord hands out rice dumplings to the residents of his row house to celebrate his son's first boy's festival. In return, the residents chip in some money and two of them decide to go to buy a festival doll with the collected five yen. One of the two, known as a "smart shopper," suggests that they buy a doll at a good bargain and have a few drinks with the savings.
At the shop, even the cheapest doll costs ten yen, but after the smart shopper's bargaining, the shopkeeper agrees to discount it to four yen.
The cheapest dolls come in two types, and the smart shopper insists on bringing both back to the row house and showing all of the residents to choose which one to buy. The shopkeeper orders a shop boy to accompany them.
Along the way, the boy finds out that the two paid four yen for the doll. The boy on the other hand also tells them the truth that these dolls are awfully damaged and not worth the price. The boy then happily reveals the scandal of the young master of the shop flirting with a maid, and conversation just doesn't seem to end…
2. FIRE AND LOTTERY
Kyuzo is a professional jester but all the patrons gave up on him because he is a bad drunk. One day at the end of the year, he buys a lottery ticket from an acquaintance and enshrines the ticket into Kamidana, his own small altar in a poor row house. He drinks and falls asleep until neighbors wake him up and tell him there is a fire in the town where one of Kyuzo's patron lives. The patron is one who used to favor Kyuzo the most, so he runs to him to help and the patron thanks him and removes the ban on him.
Kyuzo drinks and falls asleep until the patron wakes him up and tells him there's a fire in the town where Kyuzo lives. He runs back home in vain to see the row house burnt down. The patron lets him stay in his mansion in the meantime.
On New Year's Eve, Kyuzo finds out he won the lottery. With delight he claims for the lottery prize but they say the prize can be exchanged only for the lottery ticket. But the ticket was in the Kamidana in the house which was burnt to ashes, causing Kyuzo to cry in despair.
And then a fireman in his neighborhood happens to pass by and tells him that he retrieved Kyuzo's Kamidana from the fire on that night. Kyuzo goes to the fireman's house and opens the door of the Kamidana, and finds that…there is the lottery ticket! "Oh, now I can pay off my debt and greet the New Year…" exclaims Kyuzo, as he sheds tears of joy.
3. ON CHRISTMAS EVE
On Christmas Eve, a desperate thief wearing a Santa Claus costume pretends to be a pizza courier and sneaks into a house. Two little boys appear from the upper floor. The younger brother rejoices to see Santa Claus, but the older points the knife at the thief, saying "Get out!"
When the thief asks where their parents are, the elder brother says that the father left them for his mistress, and the mother works at night, so the brothers were alone eating cup noodles even on Christmas Eve.
The thief sympathizes with them, goes out and buys some cheap pizza and cakes for the brothers. The older boy gets the thief to sit down and the three of them enjoy the dinner.
Then a policeman, after receiving a report of a suspicious intruder, comes on the premises and asks the thief for his identity. The older boy insists, "He is our father visiting us for Christmas. Don't disturb us!" The policeman understands what is happening, but turns a blind eye and leaves. The younger boy happily says to the thief, "You are our father just for today!" The older boy says, "See, Santa Claus really does exist after all…"
4. HARD LUCK JESTER
In the early afternoon on a hot summer day, a hungry Taikomochi, a professional jester, walks down the street looking for a patron to get a free lunch.
A man approaches him in a very friendly way, calling out "Hey, long time no see!" He looks familiar but Taikomochi can't remember who he is. The man says he'll treat him to Una-juu (eel topped rice bowl), and invites him to a very dirty restaurant.
Taikomochi behaves delightfully even though the restaurant is dirty inside, the sake and pickles taste disgusting, and the eel is too tough to chew. Then the man goes to the bathroom and doesn't come back.
When Taikomochi goes to see what's wrong, the staff tells him that the man left. Taikomochi thinks that perhaps the man was a generous patron who left him to enjoy the meal, but the staff brings him a bill saying that it hasn't been settled yet.
Realizing that he got fooled, Taikomochi complains to the staff of the awful service before paying the bill and gets shocked at the unexpectedly high price.
The staff remarks that the alleged patron got three eel-topped rice bowls as a gift to take away. The man also stole Taikomochi's stylish footwear. After having such a hard time, Taikomochi goes home wondering if the unidentified man brought such bad-tasting food as a gift or as a harassment. After all, it might be considered much less pleasant than a gift to find those three Una-juus waiting for him…
5. THE ROAD TO MASTER
At the end of the 18th Century in Edo, there was a master engraver called Noriyasu Hamano. He died at the age of 49, and his only son, Noriyuki became an engraver following in his father's footsteps. He delivers his work regularly to Wakasa-ya, a curio dealer who used to favor his father.
No one wants to buy Noriyuki's work but Wakasa-ya does and always gives him more than enough money beyond his skill.
One day Wakasa-ya tells him harshly not to imitate his father, but Noriyuki doesn't listen and argues back. Wakasa-ya gets mad at his attitude and says, "You are a terrible craftsman. You shouldn't disgrace your father. Don't show your face anymore."
Noriyuki gets back home and declares he would quit engraving after telling his mother what Wakasa-ya said to him. Mother says "If that is the case, you should kill yourself. But before that, engrave Kannon, the goddess of mercy as a memento for me, because I will be really sad if you die."
Noriyuki works day and night, and on the fourth day, the mother sees the Kannon and tells him to sell it to Wakasa-ya for thirty ryo, an extraordinarily high price.
The Kannon is a masterpiece and Wakasa-ya at first mistakes it for his father's work. He acknowledges Noriyuki's skill and pays thirty ryo. Meanwhile it is discovered that the mother has killed herself. It becomes apparent that she has let her son start over in exchange for her own life.
6. HACHIGORO AND THE LORD
A lord falls in love with a girl called Otsuru who lives in a poor row house, and he makes her his concubine. Otsuru gives birth to the heir of the lord. As part of the celebration the lord summons her brother Hachigoro through the landlord of the row house. The landlord advises Hachigoro to watch his mouth, makes him dress formally and sees him off.
Guided by Sandayu, the lord's chief vassal, Hachigoro faces the lord and speaks nonsense to the man, not knowing rules of courtesy.
Sandayu tries to fuss, but the lord is amused and treats Hachigoro to a gorgeous dinner. Feeling inebriated by luxurious drinks, Hachigoro becomes friendlier to the lord, and tells him: "You know, my sister is a good girl. Please dote on her with your unchanging love."
He notices Otsuru sitting beautifully dressed beside the lord and says to her, "Congrats on your baby! Our mother is happy, but…sad, too, because she can't see her grandson due to the difference in social rank. Will you let her see him sometime?"
Otsuru promises her brother that she would ask the lord, and in response Hachigoro happily sings Dodoitsu, Japanese limericks. Hachigoro comes into the good graces of the lord, and is even upgraded to the rank of Samurai afterward.

Ayr's facilities are outstanding. There is a modern shower block (with underfloor heating – after all, we are open all year), dishwashing and laundry rooms, and waste disposal points. Everything is maintained to a really high standard, and this is one of the reasons why our guests return year after year.
Another reason of course is our excellent location. The only camp site actually in St Ives, it's just a ten-minute walk to the beaches and town (you may prefer to catch the bus back up, which stops at the campsite entrance!).

Barajas v. Superior Court (1970)
[Civ. No. 36278. Court of Appeals of California, Second Appellate District, Division Five. August 3, 1970.]
DELORES BARAJAS et al., Petitioners, v. THE SUPERIOR COURT OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY, Respondent; THE PEOPLE, Real Party in Interest
(Opinion by Kaus, P. J., with Aiso, J., and Selber, J., concurring.) [10 Cal. App. 3d 186]
Daye Shinn for Petitioners.
No appearance for Respondent.
Evelle J. Younger, District Attorney, Harry Wood and Daniel L. Lieberman, Deputy District Attorneys, for Real Party in Interest. [10 Cal. App. 3d 187]
KAUS, P. J.
After a preliminary hearing the district attorney, on February 27, 1970, filed an information in the respondent court charging the petitioners Mercado and Barajas jointly with possession of Benzedrine and Seconal for sale (Health & Saf. Code, § 11911 -- count II) and possession of marijuana (Health & Saf. Code, § 11530 -- count III). Mercado and one Bohl, who is not involved in this proceeding, were charged with selling, furnishing and giving away Seconal (Health & Saf. Code, § 11912 -- count I), Barajas alone was charged with possession of Benzedrine (Health & Saf. Code, § 11910 -- count IV). A motion to set aside the information, made pursuant to section 995 of the Penal Code was denied and petitioners then applied to this court for a writ of prohibition. (Pen. Code. § 999a.) We issued an alternative writ.
At 8:35 p.m. on January 29, 1970, State Narcotic Agent Fleischer who was in the company of an informer, had a conversation with Bohl outside Big John's Pizza Parlor in Long Beach. After the conversation Bohl left in his car and drove to a single family residence at 245 LaVerne, followed and observed by Officer Gath of the Long Beach police. He entered and five minutes later emerged with Mercado who was carrying a blue suitcase which he put in the trunk of Bohl's car. They drove to Hamburger Henry's where they met Agent Fleischer in the parking lot. Bohl asked to see Fleischer's money. Fleischer wanted to see the "Keg" first. Bohl opened the trunk of his car and pointed to a blue suitcase. Mercado invited Fleischer to open it. Fleischer did so and observed 10 plastic bags containing about 5,000 capsules each. It was later stipulated that a forensic chemist would have testified that they contained Seconal (count I). Fleischer started a discussion of the price of the "keg" with Mercado who suggested that they enter an automobile because it was not "cool" out there. Fleischer then put the suitcase inside the trunk of his car. This was a prearranged signal to several other officers who were apparently observing the transaction from a distance. Mercado and Bohl were arrested and promptly advised of their constitutional rights, which they waived. Mercado then stated that he lived at 245 LaVerne, had left his home knowing he was going to sell "to the man," had been "dealing" for a long time and had a keg of "whites" (Benzedrine) in the bedroom closet of his house. He also said that only his wife and baby were at the house at the time. He refused, however, to permit the officers to return to and search the house, unless they had a search warrant. He was told that one would be obtained.
Mercado was taken to a police station, while Fleischer in the company [10 Cal. App. 3d 188] of five officers went to 245 LaVerne. Herewith his description of his initial encounter with petitioner Barajas: "... I knocked on the door, a female voice stated, 'Al and Allen?' At that time I stated, 'State Narcotic Agents. We would like to talk to you.' Subject Barajas opened the door at that time. I showed her my ID card and read her, 'Department of Justice, State Narcotics Agent.' I asked if we could come in and talk to her, and she stated, 'No. I don't know what you are talking about.' I stated to her that subject Mercado had told us that he lived at this residence with his wife and baby, and that there was a keg of whites in the bedroom closet, and also that there was numerous registered guns in the residence and that we would like to come in and talk to her. And she stated, 'No. I don't know what you are talking about.' I asked her if we could come in and search, and she stated, 'No, you don't have a search warrant.' I explained to her that we felt that there was a felony being committed in our presence and that we would have to come in to secure the residence until we could obtain a search warrant. At that time she started to close the door and started screaming and kicking, and we forced entry. ..." After two minutes Fleischer left and obtained a search warrant from Judge Sutherland of the Long Beach Municipal Court, with which he returned about two and one-half hours later.
On cross-examination, in answer to the question: "Did you at any time ask defendant Barajas whether or not she lived there?" he replied: "She stated that we must have the wrong house that she only lived there with her little baby, that nobody else lived in the residence." At no time during the preliminary hearing was it developed whether that question was asked before or after the officers' entry. For that matter, none of the several officers who testified was ever asked specifically whether the purpose or the entry was to arrest Barajas or merely to prevent her from disposing of any drugs until a search warrant could be obtained and executed. fn. 1 The most we know from the record is that the reason why she was handcuffed was that she was assaulting the officers.
Before Fleischer's return with the warrant other officers went through the house to look for other persons. They found a child described both as a "little boy" and a "little baby." No search for drugs or other contraband was made until Fleischer returned with the search warrant. They then found about 1,000 Seconal capsules (count II) and a certain amount of Benzedrine in a hall closet, marijuana on a table in the den (count III), some [10 Cal. App. 3d 189] more Benzedrine in Barajas' purse (count IV) and 50,000 Benzedrine tablets in the laundry hamper in the bedroom closet (count II).
Mercado's Petition
[1] Mercado's petition is clearly frivolous. He argues only an alleged lack of evidence of knowing possession. He does not even distinguish between the 50,000 Seconal tablets found in the blue suitcase and other items found in the house. The proof of his actual knowing possession of the former and constructive knowing possession of the latter was so obviously adequate that no further discussion is required. (People v. Redrick, 55 Cal. 2d 282 [10 Cal. Rptr. 823, 359 P.2d 255].)
Barajas' Petition
Barajas does not attack the validity of the warrant obtained by Fleischer. She claims, however, that the success in its execution was nevertheless the fruit of a poisonous tree -- the officers' forced entry and continued presence while the warrant was being obtained.
When we granted the alternative writ we thought that we were squarely presented with a problem involving Fourth Amendment law which to the best of our knowledge had never been decided: whether police, who have probable cause to believe that a residence contains contraband, but have neither a search warrant, nor probable cause to arrest anyone in the home, may force entry for the sole purpose of preventing the disposal of the contraband while other officers obtain a warrant.
While in the future course of this litigation some court may yet have to deal with that issue, we have come to the conclusion that the present proceeding does not properly raise it. [2] We feel bound to hold that on the evidence presented to him at the preliminary hearing, the magistrate was entitled to find that the officers had probable cause to arrest Barajas for possession of Benzedrine. (Health & Saf. Code, § 11910.) This fact, of course, would not have authorized a search of the inner reaches of her home (Chimel v. California, 395 U.S. 752 [23 L. Ed. 2d 685, 89 S.Ct. 2034]); however the legal arrest of Barajas certainly permitted the officers to prevent her from gaining access to the contraband to frustrate the impending execution of a warrant. To be sure, once Barajas was arrested she should have been booked at a station and not kept prisoner in her own home. However, that illegality did not aid in the discovery of the drugs. Had Barajas been removed from the premises, she certainly would have [10 Cal. App. 3d 190] had even less opportunity to dispose of them. fn. 2 It remains then to determine whether Barajas' arrest was, indeed, legal.
The police had legally arrested Mercado. He talked freely after an adequate waiver of his constitutional rights. He had absolutely nothing to gain by disclosing the presence of 50,000 Benzedrine pills in his home. (Cf. People v. Spriggs, 60 Cal. 2d 868, 874-875 [36 Cal. Rptr. 841, 389 P.2d 377].) That the statement was not made to curry favor with the arresting officers is demonstrated by Mercado's refusal to permit a warrantless search. fn. 3 Obviously the information he gave was far more "reliable" than information obtained from the usual untested or unreliable stool pigeon. Apparently it was adequate to convince Judge Sutherland to issue the search warrant. This appears to be tacitly admitted by petitioners' failure to attack the warrant. The principle which lifts victims and "citizen" witnesses out of the class of unreliable informers (People v. Hogan, 71 Cal. 2d 888, 891 [80 Cal. Rptr. 28, 457 P.2d 868]; People v. Gardner, 252 Cal. App. 2d 320, 324-325 [60 Cal.Rptr. 321]) seems adequate to lend credibility to Mercado's voluntary confession. (See also Skelton v. Superior Court, 1 Cal. 3d 144, 154, fn. 7 [81 Cal. Rptr. 613, 460 P.2d 485]; People v. McFadden, 4 Cal. App. 3d 672, 688 [84 Cal. Rptr. 675].)
Since, however, the validity of the search warrant is not before us we need not hold just what the police were entitled to do based only on the information obtained from Mercado. When they entered the house they knew considerably more about Barajas than they had known when they approached it. We must, of course, disregard her insistence that a search warrant be obtained before proceeding inside. (Tompkins v. Superior Court, 59 Cal. 2d 65, 68 [27 Cal. Rptr. 889, 378 P.2d 113]; People v. Cedeno, 218 Cal. App. 2d 213, 227-229 [32 Cal. Rptr. 246].) [3] There is, however, the extremely suspicious denial that anyone but she and her [10 Cal. App. 3d 191] baby lived in the house. fn. 4 Putting this together with what the officers knew about and had heard from Mercado, it seems entirely reasonable for "a man of ordinary care and prudence to believe and conscientiously entertain an honest and strong suspicion" (People v. Ingle, 53 Cal. 2d 407, 412 [2 Cal. Rptr. 14, 348 P.2d 577]) that Barajas was then in possession of illegal drugs. fn. 5
Of course the record is not clear whether the denial of Mercado's residence at the house came before or after the entry. The question was whether Fleischer had "at any time" asked Barajas whether she lived there. However, if the record permits conflicting inferences, it is neither for us, nor for the superior court, to tell the magistrate which he should have drawn. (Perry v. Superior Court, 57 Cal. 2d 276, 283-284 [19 Cal. Rptr. 1, 368 P.2d 529]; People v. Heard, 266 Cal. App. 2d 747, 749-750 [72 Cal. Rptr. 374].) Part of Fleischer's answer to the question was that Barajas had said that the officers "must have the wrong house." It seems more likely that this particular phrase would have been used during the introductory phase of the encounter, than after the officers had entered and subdued Barajas.
Finally, as we have already noted, the record is none too clear that the officers intended to arrest Barajas when they entered. Certainly there is no evidence that she was ever advised of the "cause of the arrest." (Pen. Code, § 841; but see People v. Maddox, 46 Cal. 2d 301, 305 [294 P.2d 6].) Again, however, we cannot say that the magistrate's finding, implied in his refusal to suppress the evidence uncovered in the house, that there was an arrest, is without evidentiary support. fn. 6 We therefore need not consider [10 Cal. App. 3d 192] the legal consequences which would flow from a factual determination that the officers, though having the right to arrest Barajas on entry, did not exercise it, handcuffed her solely in self-defense and detained her only to prevent the destruction of evidence.
The alternative writ of prohibition is discharged, the peremptory writ is denied.
Aiso, J., and Selber, J., concurred.
FN 1. The record contains ambiguous testimony from Officer Castillo which can be interpreted to mean that he took Barajas into custody after the warrant had been obtained and, possibly, at least partially executed. This does not, however, negative an earlier arrest.
FN 2. It is noted, for whatever legal significance it may have, that Barajas' argument that the discovery of the drugs during the execution of the search warrant was the fruit of illegal police conduct depends entirely on the proposition that the court should have inferred that, had she not been restrained, she would have successfully frustrated the search by removing, hiding or destroying the contraband.
FN 3. In this respect the present case differs markedly from Pollock v. Superior Court, 272 Cal. App. 2d 548 [77 Cal. Rptr. 565], decided by this division. There we held that the petitioner was illegally arrested when the police had nothing to go on but the statements of two confessed juvenile thieves that they had sold certain stolen goods to petitioner after telling him that the "stuff [was] hot." We pointed to the selfish motives which may have prompted the juveniles' accusation and held that the self-incriminatory nature of their statements did not furnish sufficient corroboration. In the case at bar no conceivable selfish motive for the confession to a wholly independent crime appears in the record. It cannot be seriously suggested that Mercado tried to make things easier for himself by pointing the finger of suspicion at whoever shared his home.
FN 4. Among the cases referring to the rule that information from an untested informer plus furtive or suspicious conduct may constitute probable cause -- or so holding -- are People v. Talley, 65 Cal. 2d 830, 836-837 [56 Cal. Rptr. 492, 423 P.2d 564]; Willson v. Superior Court, 46 Cal. 2d 291, 295 [294 P.2d 36]; People v. Melchor, 237 Cal. App. 2d 685, 693 [47 Cal. Rptr. 235]; People v. Currier, 232 Cal. App. 2d 103, 107 [42 Cal. Rptr. 562]; People v. Cedeno, 218 Cal. App. 2d 213, 224-225 [32 Cal. Rptr. 246].
FN 5. Thus, even if Mercado comes within the category of an unreliable informer, Barajas' obvious reluctance to be suspected of being associated with him satisfied the requirement of People v. Gallegos, 62 Cal. 2d 176, 179 [41 Cal. Rptr. 590, 397 P.2d 174] and People v. Reeves, 61 Cal. 2d 268, 274 [38 Cal. Rptr. 1, 391 P.2d 393] that the corroboration go to the essential fact, that the suspect was then violating the law.
FN 6. The magistrate expressly stated that he doubted that "it was necessary to get a search warrant in the beginning," that the entry would have been a proper one without a warrant and that "there was an abundance of evidence to support the premise that there were drugs in the house."
These remarks are somewhat confusing. Not only would the entry have been proper without a warrant -- it most assuredly was made without a warrant. Further, one is entitled to suspect from these remarks that the magistrate perhaps though that the search, as distinguished from the entry, would have been proper even in the absence of a warrant. This is obviously not true -- except possibly with respect to the Benzedrine found in Barajas' purse-whether there was no right to arrest her (Chapman v. United States, 365 U.S. 610, 613-615 [5 L. Ed. 2d 828, 831-833, 81 S. Ct. 776]; People v. Marshall, 69 Cal. 2d 51, 57 [69 Cal. Rptr. 585, 442 P.2d 665]), or whether there was. (Chimel v. California, 395 U.S. 752, 766 [23 L. Ed. 2d 685, 695, 89 S. Ct. 2034].) However, unless the record makes the assumption preposterous (People v. Russel, 69 Cal. 2d 187, 190-200 [70 Cal. Rptr. 210, 443 P.2d 794]; People v. Robarge, 41 Cal. 2d 628, 633-634 [262 P.2d 14]) we must assume that the magistrate applied correct legal principles to his rulings. (People v. Risenhoover, 70 Cal. 2d 39, 57 [73 Cal. Rptr. 533, 447 P.2d 925]; People v. Gorshen, 51 Cal. 2d 716, 734 [336 P.2d 492].) Clearly the remarks referred to do not demonstrate an erroneous concept of applicable Fourth Amendment law. We therefore assume that the remark about the legality of the entry without a warrant was made with reference to the only purpose of the entry to which it was constitutionally relevant: the arrest of Barajas and nothing but that arrest.

Benni Efrat, Tailgate, 1973, single-channel film, 16 mm (converted to digital), black-and-white, 7:47 mins, still frame
"I do not see myself as a filmmaker…
Existence, means of instant, a philosophy of structures, and total social involvement; and not the bourgeois spirit of individual seperateness or point of view!"
Benni Efrat, quotes from the catalogue of his 1977 exhibition at the Internationaal Cultureel Centrum (ICC), Antwerp
About the Project Adi Englman
"Benni Efrat: Experimental Films from the 1970s" is the third in a series of art publications by the Marcel Art Projects nonprofit, "Masterpieces of Israeli Modern Art," each looking into a seminal work or body of work from the legacy of modernism and experimental art in Israel. At the heart of this current project is an anthology compiling six of the art films created by Efrat between 1968–1975, works of experimental cinema that are emblematic of his mode of thinking and creative process at that time. Efrat, then a conceptual artist, began creating his experimental films with no prior background in filmmaking, working from a standpoint that sought to foreground a concept, an idea or an action over the medium or form in which they are conveyed. Much in the spirit of the "concrete art" he had been making then in other media, the workings of the camera – as the actions performed to it – are made explicitly present. Moreover, Efrat dispenses with editing or any manipulations done in retrospect, in the aim of representing truth in art rather than illusion.
As works of experimental cinema, these films are at odds with the logic and conventions of narrative cinema, norms that they in fact depart from and challenge. These are abstract films, devoid of a story or plotline, whose main protagonists are such notions as action, duration and process; the celluloid on which they were shot; the cinematic frame, together with its inherent tension between flatness, illusion and depth; and light itself, as the fundamental condition for both the making of a film its viewing. In other words, it is cinema about cinema. These are films that, while considering both the artistic action and its product – in this case, the process of filmmaking and the cinematic output, respectively – break the film down to its elements, to unravel its truth. The temporal dimension to those films is crisp and measureable. The film base – sensitive and perishable. The space represented is a derivative of the camera's field of vision and its technical capabilities. And so on. However, even in the absence of a plotline, these films certainly manage to capture our attention, generating a sharp and palpable sense of cinematic drama.
Benni Efrat, a Lebanese-born Israeli artist (1940, Beirut), is among the forerunners of conceptual art in Israel. His work in recent years has centered on society and environment, issues he looks at from a futuristic standpoint that criticizes human conduct in the present. In retrospect, his early works included here have already contained the ideological seed to his later, more mature work. The actions that unfold in them may seem trivial and monotonous, yet by looking attentively at these occurrences, along with their consequences, they open up a wider, more universal field of questioning regarding physical phenomena and the interconnectedness of things in the world, as well as the dynamics of man and environment. On another level, the films address questions related to human epistemology and knowledge, to the ontological status of the artwork and to viewership. The paired-down simplicity of these films, the slow and measured pace of the action and the focus on man and environment lends them a humanistic aura in the spirit of the pre-digital era.
To me, these films are like Haiku poems made in accordance with the medium of cinema. In their concise, minimalist language they call attention to the beauty found in nature and among the things of the world – to proportions, relations and states – as well as to the charm and emotive power of cinema. All these are delivered by Efrat with a gentle hand and an admiring eye. If you stretch a rubber band, it rips. When exposed to light, celluloid burns. Darkness conceals things, and light reveals. Simply put, what we see is what has been captured on film, and all one needs to do is direct the gaze and observe attentively. Or, in Efrat's own words: "Close your eyes, open your mind, listen to the image". In my view, these films also bear a reminder to a fundamental ethical value: All of our actions, just as the occurrences and states in nature, have their ramifications and continue to reverberate further in the concrete world around us. We live in a world of cause and effect. And, as beings that are active in the world, the responsibility for the state of things lies, to a great extent, in each and every one of us.
The six films included in the anthology all belong to Efrat's first phase of cinematic experimentation. They were shot in London, a city he arrived at in 1966 for studies and continued to live in for the next ten years. Shot with a 16 mm camera, the films in this body of work were shown in the decade following their making throughout a number of shows Efrat has had at various art institutions and museums in Europe and the USA. True to the spirit of the conceptual art of the time, which privileged the idea behind a work over its formal or material manifestation, the films were either shown in their original format – as film projections in the exhibition space – or occasionally as series of film stills (as was the case with his solo show at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, in 1974). Efrat continued to work in film throughout the second half of the 1970s, but these works were typically integrated into larger installations or screened as part live performances of the artist', also known as Efrat's "film performances". This later output is not part of this current research.
Efrat produced a total of 15 experimental films in the years 1968–1975. Among these, his very first filmic experimentations, dating from 1968–1969, failed to be located as of this current research, and it is possible they have been permanently lost amid the artist's subsequent studio and residential relocations between Israel, Europe and the USA. In recent years, some of his experimental films from this phase were being shown again in museum shows in Israel and abroad, among them in the extensive survey exhibition on the history of the moving image in Israeli art, held at the Haifa Museum in 2004; in a show on Israeli post-minimalist art at the Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art, in 2008; and as part of "Staring Back at the Sun," a travelling video art exhibit organized by Artis, currently circulating between a number museums worldwide.
The initiative behind "Benni Efrat: Experimental Films from the 1970s" was born first and foremost in the aim of rescuing and preserving these historical films, which were kept in Efrat's personal archive in the format of film reels. The celluloid film base is sensitive both to light and to touch, and generally given to deterioration over time. The films selected for the anthology were digitized and reworked in a manner as to approximate this new edition to the look and feel of the original film format. Indeed, converting a film into digital raises questions on how a work relates to the medium in which it was made originally, all the more so when art films are at issue. However, in talks with Benni held during the work on the project he stressed the importance of the idea underlining the work, asserting that the image and the message are what matters to him rather than the format in which they are transmitted to the viewer. He claims to have no sentimental attachment to celluloid as such, and was greatly supportive of the initiative to preserve those films by way of digitizing them.
This film anthology launches in conjunction with "Doom's Path, Winter 2065," a new exhibition of Efrat's due to inaugurate the 2018 exhibition program at the Petach Tikva Museum of Art (curator: Drorit Gur-Arie). The anthology, available to the public through an unlimited DVD-edition, is accompanied by a publication in print that is likewise viewable on the Marcel website. While targeting the general public of art viewers, the project aims to be of interest to cinema, philosophy and science enthusiasts as well. And, as part of its presentation to the public, the video program and accompanied materials will be actively directed to high schools and other institutions of higher education that teach and research those fields.
"Benni Efrat: Experimental Films from the 1970s" is the third in a series of research-based publications by the Marcel nonprofit, "Masterpieces of Israeli Modern Art". Previous installment in the series include "Dani Karavan: Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem," a booklet on the artist's 1966 wall relief at the Knesset, and "Dani Karavan: The Negev Monument," a book presentation of the historic monument to the Negev Brigade, inaugurated in 1968. The series is an initiative of Marcel Art Projects, an independent nonprofit for curating and initiatives in art.

"We are extremely grateful for LEGO's ongoing support and steadfast commitment to our cause.

"LEGO's sponsorship will help The Toy Bank bring the magic of play to more than a million children in need throughout the coming year."

The Toy Bank collects millions of toys from toy companies and distributes them to a network of carefully vetted children's charities. Since its inception in 2003, The Toy Bank has provided more than $200 million in toys to more than 25 million children in need, making play possible for kids undergoing medical treatments, living in poverty, foster care, coping with military life, suffering from abuse or otherwise in need.
