Summary of this case from U.S. v. Montalvo
CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT.
Argued January 14-15, 1959. Decided February 24, 1959.
Petitioner was indicted and convicted on three counts charging violations of the Federal Bank Robbery Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2113, by taking property by force and violence and assaulting and jeopardizing the lives of several persons in the course of the taking, in violation of § 2113(d), receiving the stolen property, in violation of § 2113(c), and conspiring to violate the Act. He was sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment on the first of these counts, three years on the conspiracy count and a year and a day on the count charging receipt of the stolen property, the three sentences to run consecutively. While still in custody under the admittedly valid 10-year sentence, he moved for correction of the sentence, claiming that he could not be lawfully convicted under both subsection (c) and (d) of § 2113 for feloniously receiving and feloniously taking the same property. Held:
1. Relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 is available only to attack a sentence under which the prisoner is in custody; but relief was available to petitioner under Rule 35 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, which authorizes the correction of an illegal sentence "at any time." Pp. 417-418.
2. The separate sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 2113 (c) for receiving the stolen property was invalid, since that subsection was not designed to increase the punishment for one who robs a bank but only to provide punishment for those who receive the loot from the robber. Prince v. United States, 352 U.S. 322. Pp. 419-420.
251 F.2d 69, reversed.
Jerome A. Cooper, acting under appointment by the Court, 358 U.S. 803, argued the cause and filed a brief for petitioner.
Theodore George Gilinsky argued the cause for the United States. With him on the brief were Solicitor General Rankin, Assistant Attorney General Anderson and Beatrice Rosenberg.
MR. JUSTICE DOUGLAS delivered the opinion of the Court.
Petitioner and two others were indicted and convicted under three counts charging violations of the Federal Bank Robbery Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2113. One count charged taking the property by force and violence, and assaulting and jeopardizing the lives of several persons in the course of the taking, in violation of § 2113(d). Another count charged that they did "receive, possess, conceal, store, and dispose" of the stolen money in violation of § 2113(c). A third count charged a conspiracy. The sentence imposed was 10 years on the first count mentioned above, 3 years on the conspiracy count to begin to run on expiration of the first, and 1 year and 1 day on the count charging receipt of the stolen property, this sentence to begin to run on expiration of the sentence on the conspiracy count.
This subsection provides:
"Whoever, in committing, or in attempting to commit, any offense defined in subsections (a) and (b) of this section, assaults any person, or puts in jeopardy the life of any person by the use of a dangerous weapon or device, shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than twenty-five years, or both."
This subsection states:
"Whoever receives, possesses, conceals, stores, barters, sells, or disposes of, any property or money or other thing of value knowing the same to have been taken from a bank, or a savings and loan association, in violation of subsection (b) of this section shall be subject to the punishment provided by said subsection (b) for the taker."
This was a corrected sentence imposed after the appeal, as reported in Heflin v. United States, 223 F.2d 371.
All these events took place before our decision in Prince v. United States, 352 U.S. 322. Shortly thereafter petitioner instituted this proceeding under 28 U.S.C. § 2255, complaining that he could not be lawfully convicted under both subsections (c) and (d) of § 2113, i. e., of feloniously receiving and feloniously taking the same property. The District Court denied the motion. The Court of Appeals affirmed. 251 F.2d 69. We granted certiorari ( 357 U.S. 935) because of an apparent conflict between that decision and the Prince case.
Section 2255 reads in relevant part as follows:
"A prisoner in custody under sentence of a court established by Act of Congress claiming the right to be released upon the ground Page 417 that the sentence was imposed in violation of the Constitution or laws of the United States, or that the court was without jurisdiction to impose such sentence, or that the sentence was in excess of the maximum authorized by law, or is otherwise subject to collateral attack, may move the court which imposed the sentence to vacate, set aside or correct the sentence.
"A motion for such relief may be made at any time.
"Unless the motion and the files and records of the case conclusively show that the prisoner is entitled to no relief, the court shall cause notice thereof to be served upon the United States attorney, grant a prompt hearing thereon, determine the issues and make findings of fact and conclusions of law with respect thereto. If the court finds that the judgment was rendered without jurisdiction, or that the sentence imposed was not authorized by law or otherwise open to collateral attack, or that there has been such a denial or infringement of the constitutional rights of the prisoner as to render the judgment vulnerable to collateral attack, the court shall vacate and set the judgment aside and shall discharge the prisoner or resentence him or grant a new trial or correct the sentence as may appear appropriate.
"A court may entertain and determine such motion without requiring the production of the prisoner at the hearing. . . ." 62 Stat. 967, amended 63 Stat. 105.
I. There is a preliminary question of jurisdiction. Petitioner is now in custody under the 10-year sentence which admittedly is valid. Since he has not completed that sentence nor the consecutive conspiracy sentence, it is argued that relief by way of § 2255 may not be had.
We reviewed in United States v. Hayman, 342 U.S. 205, the history of § 2255 and emphasized that its purpose was to minimize some of the difficulties involved in the use of habeas corpus. It is now argued that when consecutive sentences are imposed, § 2255, no more than habeas corpus ( McNally v. Hill, 293 U.S. 131, 138), can be used to question a sentence which the prisoner has not begun to serve. The Court is divided on that issue. Some think that when § 2255 says "A motion for such relief may be made at any time," it means what it says. To them the correction of sentence, if made, will affect "the right to be released," protected by § 2255, even though that right will not be immediately realized. A majority, however, are of the view, shared by several Courts of Appeals, that § 2255 is available only to attack a sentence under which a prisoner is in custody. Yet in their view relief under Rule 35 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure is available (at least where matters dehors the record are not involved), the only question here being whether the sentence imposed was illegal on its face.
United States v. Bradford, 194 F.2d 197; United States v. McGann, 245 F.2d 670; United States ex rel. Bogish v. Tees, 211 F.2d 69, 71; Fooshee v. United States, 203 F.2d 247; Duggins v. United States, 240 F.2d 479; Crow v. United States, 186 F.2d 704; Oughton v. United States, 215 F.2d 578; Hoffman v. United States, 244 F.2d 378; Miller v. United States, 256 F.2d 501.
Rule 35 provides in part:
"The court may correct an illegal sentence at any time."
Since the motion under Rule 35 is made in the original case, the time within which review by certiorari of the Court of Appeals decision should be sought is 30 days. Supreme Court Rule 22(2). The petition for writ of certiorari in this case was not filed until after the passage of 30 days from the judgment below. Nevertheless, because successive motions may be made under Rule 35 and because no jurisdictional statute is involved, the majority agrees to dispense with the requirements of our Rule in order to avoid wasteful circuity. To those of us who deem that § 2255 is available, there is no question but that the petition was in time. It was filed within the 90-day period provided by 28 U.S.C. § 2101 (c) governing this type of suit. For a motion under § 2255, like a petition for a writ of habeas corpus ( Riddle v. Dyche, 262 U.S. 333, 336), is not a proceeding in the original criminal prosecution but an independent civil suit.
II. We held in Prince v. United States, supra, that the crime of entry into a bank with intent to rob was not intended by Congress to be a separate offense from the consummated robbery. We ruled that entering with intent to steal, which is "the heart of the crime," id., at 328, "merges into the completed crime if the robbery is consummated." Ibid. We gave the Act that construction because we resolve an ambiguity in favor of lenity when required to determine the intent of Congress in punishing multiple aspects of the same criminal act.
Subsection (c) of § 2113, with which we are now primarily concerned, came into the law in 1940. The legislative history is meagre. The Senate Report (S. Rep. No. 1801, 76th Cong., 3d Sess.) is captioned "Punishment for Receivers of Loot From Bank Robbers." The Report states, "This bill would add another subsection to further make it a crime, with less severe penalties (maximum $5,000 fine and 10 years imprisonment, or both) to willfully become a receiver or possessor of property taken in violation of the statute," p. 1. Similarly the House Report states "Present law does not make it a separate substantive offense knowingly to receive or possess property stolen from a bank in violation of the Federal Bank Robbery Act, and this bill is designed to cover the omission." H.R. Rep. No. 1668, 76th Cong., 3d Sess., p. 1.
This clue to the purpose of Congress argues strongly against the position of the Government. From these Reports it seems clear that subsection (c) was not designed to increase the punishment for him who robs a bank but only to provide punishment for those who receive the loot from the robber. We find no purpose of Congress to pyramid penalties for lesser offenses following the robbery. It may be true that in logic those who divide up the loot following a robbery receive from robbers and thus multiply the offense. But in view of the legislative history of subsection (c) we think Congress was trying to reach a new group of wrongdoers, not to multiply the offense of the bank robbers themselves.
MR. JUSTICE STEWART, whom MR. JUSTICE FRANKFURTER, MR. JUSTICE CLARK, MR. JUSTICE HARLAN, and MR. JUSTICE WHITTAKER join, concurring.
While joining the Court's opinion, I think it clear that a motion for relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 is available only to attack a sentence under which a prisoner is in custody. That is what the statute says. That is what the legislative history shows. That is what federal courts, faced almost daily with the statute's application, have unanimously concluded. Personal notions as to the kind of a post-conviction statute that Congress might have enacted or should enact are, of course, entirely irrelevant to the inquiry.
First. The words which Congress has used are not ambiguous. Section 2255 provides that: "A prisoner in custody under sentence . . . claiming the right to be released . . . may move the court which imposed the sentence to vacate, set aside or correct the sentence." The statute further provides: "A motion for such relief may be made at any time." This latter provision simply means that, as in habeas corpus, there is no statute of limitations, no res judicata, and that the doctrine of laches is inapplicable.
Second. The legislative history of § 2255 is reviewed at length in the opinion which Mr. Chief Justice Vinson wrote for the Court in United States v. Hayman, 342 U.S. 205. No chronicle of the genesis and purpose of a legislative enactment could be more authentic, because almost the entire legislative history is to be found in the deliberations and recommendations of the Judicial Conference of the United States, over which Mr. Chief Justice Vinson then presided. The opinion in Hayman clearly shows that "the sole purpose" of the statute "was to minimize the difficulties encountered in habeas corpus hearings by affording the same rights in another and more convenient forum." 342 U.S., at 219. Those difficulties are detailed in the opinion. There is not one word to indicate any intent to alter the basic principle of habeas corpus that relief is available only to one entitled to be released from custody.
The very office of the Great Writ, its only function, is to inquire into the legality of the detention of one in custody. It is unnecessary to paraphrase here Mr. Justice Stone's penetrating discussion in McNally v. Hill, 293 U.S. 131, or to incorporate the thorough review of legal history there contained. It will suffice to note only the Court's conclusion: "Without restraint of liberty, the writ will not issue. Equally, without restraint which is unlawful, the writ may not be used. A sentence which the prisoner has not begun to serve cannot be the cause of restraint which the statute makes the subject of inquiry." (Citations omitted.) 293 U.S., at 138.
Third. It is something of an understatement simply to say that these views are "shared by several Courts of Appeals." So far as I have been able to find, these courts, at least since the Hayman decision, have been unanimous in holding that a motion under § 2255 may be filed only by a prisoner claiming the right to be released. These are the courts continually faced with problems arising under § 2255, and many of them have given careful consideration to this very issue. United States v. Bradford, 194 F.2d 197 (C.A. 2d Cir.); United States v. McGann, 245 F.2d 670 (C.A. 2d Cir.); United States ex rel. Bogish v. Tees, 211 F.2d 69, 71 (C.A. 3d Cir.); Fooshee v. United States, 203 F.2d 247 (C.A. 5th Cir.); Duggins v. United States, 240 F.2d 479 (C.A. 6th Cir.); Juelich v. United States, 257 F.2d 424 (C.A. 6th Cir.); Oughton v. United States, 215 F.2d 578 (C.A. 9th Cir.); Williams v. United States, 236 F.2d 894 (C.A. 9th Cir.); Hoffman v. United States, 244 F.2d 378 (C.A. 9th Cir.); Toliver v. United States, 249 F.2d 804 (C.A. 9th Cir.); Miller v. United States, 256 F.2d 501 (C.A. 9th Cir.); Smith v. United States, 259 F.2d 125 (C.A. 9th Cir.).
Although believing that relief in this case was not available under § 2255, I think, and indeed the Government concedes, that relief was available to the petitioner by virtue of Rule 35 of the Fed. Rules Crim. Proc. That rule provides: "The court may correct an illegal sentence at any time." The rule became effective more than two years before the enactment of § 2255 and has an entirely different history. It was a codification of existing law and was intended to remove any doubt created by the decision in United States v. Mayer, 235 U.S. 55, 67, as to the jurisdiction of a District Court to correct an illegal sentence after the expiration of the term at which it was entered.
See Judge Shackelford Miller's discussion of the relationship between § 2255 and Rule 35 in Duggins v. United States, 240 F.2d 479 (C.A. 6th Cir.).
Whether Rule 35 covers the broader field of collateral attack where a hearing to consider matters dehors the record is necessary, we need not here determine. The Rule certainly covers a case like the present one where the claim is that the sentence imposed was illegal on its face. For this reason, and because I agree with the Court's construction of the Federal Bank Robbery Act, I concur in the opinion and the judgment.

In Heflin we were not concerned with the correctness of jury instructions, since that case arose out of a collateral proceeding to correct an illegal sentence where the petitioner was asking only that the cumulative punishment imposed for receiving be set aside.
In Heflin, the Court decided that a prisoner could not secure § 2255 relief from a sentence which he had not yet begun to serve because he was not yet "in custody" pursuant to that sentence.

Petitioner received consecutive sentences for the two offenses.

What's your thoughts on the herringbone vest? Yay? Nay?
I love this vest! I went straight to Jane hoping to get one, but it's listed as $32.99 on Jane! Is the price wrong on Jane, or is it mislisted here?
It was my fault. I had put a filler price until it went live at midnight and fell asleep and then had a rough morning with King. I am so sorry about the confusion!
Adorable vest!! Makes the outfit!!
I love that vest! I have one that I bought last year that I'm planning on getting tons more use out of this winter!
Aren't they the best! By far one of my favorite things for fall and winter!


Now - 2044. Drinking well now, but will improve with time.
Lifted, racy. Rhône-ish at first, South Australian upon sitting.
Bountiful aromatics ascend – initially redcurrant, cranberry, Christmas cake mix, and then the liberation of citrus (lime peel), fennel and olive.
Middle Eastern spices also present – sweet, not savoury (incl. cinnamon, nutmeg). And, not unexpected, something not present - oak!
Svelte. Nevertheless, propels assertive tannins that build – sheeted/layered in configuration.
To please all tastes - the sweet – zabaglione, custard, raw chocolate (cocoa); and the savoury – (bone) marrow, star anise.
Lingers, and certainly leaves a most appealing 'residual' impression for quite some time after ingestion.
Origin: Multi-regional blend, South Australia. Barossa Valley, Adelaide Hills, Southern Fleurieu, Wrattonbully and McLaren Vale.
Variety: 96% Shiraz, 4% Cabernet.
Above-average winter and early spring rainfall offered the vines in South Australia healthy soil moisture profiles for the growing season. Late spring and summer were dry and warm with significant heat records being set. Warm weather prevailed during summer and throughout veraison, allowing grapes to develop evenly and with good intensity.
The warm conditions came to an abrupt halt in mid-February with significant rainfall that allowed for a long and slow ripening of the fruit in very good conditions. This ensured balanced flavour development, fruit exhibiting a brightness endowed with crisp acid retention and impressive fruit quality.

Q: Formula for a Stadium shape (2D Capsule)? This shape
(Known as a stadium, it's basically a 2D capsule.)
I need a formula to draw this shape on a graph, preferably in that orientation (on its side).
What I've tried:
I've tried adapting the formula for a capsule from 3D to 2D, but to no avail, I'm only able to produce a circle from it. So not really sure how to approach this problem as I've not tried mapping any shape like this to a function before.
Context:
Not sure how relevant this is to the question, but I'm experimenting with different camera speed-up and slow-down functions for an RTS game I'm making, and in order to tell the camera how to move, I'm trying different functions to map its speed (y axis) with time (x axis), as it is told to move or ceases being told to move. One such method I want to try is, if you divide the stadium shape into 6 sections, one section being the top left curve part, another being the bottom left curve part, another being the top middle part, etc, mapping the top left curve part followed by the top middle part as the speed time graph of the camera for acceleration, and the top middle part and the top right part for deceleration, which I could achieve by taking the magnitude of the formula to remove the bottom half.
I could also just use the equation for a circle and isolate the top left, and once it reaches the peak just keep it at that value until the input is let go of, and then switch to the top right, but in searching for the stadium formula I found that it doesn't seem to be anywhere online, therefore this question would likely be useful to others searching for it.

A: How's this?
$$\left(x-a-\sqrt{r^2-y^2}\right)\left(x+a+\sqrt{r^2-y^2}\right)(y-r)(y+r)=10^{-n}$$
$a$ and $r$ here are exactly the same parameters as in the diagram you included. $n$ is a "quality factor" of sorts; the larger it gets, the sharper the "corners" of the stadium get (i.e. the points $(\pm\frac{a}{2},\pm a)$). When $n=5$, the graph is nearly indistinguishable from when $n=\infty$ (i.e. when the right side of the equation is $0$).
Here's the Desmos page I used to make the graph: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/1hjfojqisv
When $a=r=4$ and $n=5$, the graph of this equation looks like this:

Lets start by saying that our thoughts are with our many Japanese friends. It's very hard to prepare for tomorrow's Rose Bowl without losing focus due to the many scenes of loss and destruction in Japan.
Sendai, home to John Lofgren's Speedway-Shop was especially close to the epicenter. We wish everyone well and encourage all to do what they can to help in this rescue & recovery effort.
Japan was hit by one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded on Friday. The magnitude-8.9 quake spawned a deadly tsunami that slammed into the nation's east coast, leaving a huge swath of devastation in its wake. Hundreds of people are dead and many more are still missing or injured.
Japan has often donated when other countries have experienced disasters, such as when Hurricane Katrina impacted the United States. Here are a few organizations that are working on relief and recovery in the region.
I support what he's doing & how he is doing it and really want to help him in getting back in any way I can. Maybe helping drive a few buyers to his site once he is back to doing biz, maybe more.

Germinated grains - sources of bioactive compounds
Donkor, Osaana ORCID: 0000-0001-9565-9024, Stojanovska, Lily, Ginn, P, Ashton, John and Vasiljevic, Todor ORCID: 0000-0003-1395-7349 (2012) Germinated grains - sources of bioactive compounds. Food Chemistry, 135 (3). pp. 950-959. ISSN 0308-8146
A number of epidemiological studies have shown that regular consumption of whole grains reduces risks of various types of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease (Anderson, Hanna, Peng, & Kryscio, 2000), type 2 diabetes (Liu et al., 2000 and Meyer et al., 2000), some cancers (Kasum et al., 2002 and Nicodemus et al., 2001) and reduced mortality (Jacobs, Meyer, & Solvoll, 2001). Whole grains are rich sources of fibre, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals, including phenolics, carotenoids, vitamin E, lignans, β-glucan, inulin, resistant starch, sterols, and phytates. Bioactive phytochemicals, found in significant amounts in fruits, vegetables and whole grains, may provide desirable health benefits beyond basic nutrition to reduce the risk of chronic diseases (Liu, 2004 and Slavin, 2000). Recent evidence suggests that the complex mixture of bioactives in whole grain foods may be more healthful than individual isolated components (Liu, 2004).

Ett antependium (av latin ante, 'framför' och pendere, 'hänga') eller altarkläde är ett tygstycke som används för att täcka och pryda altaret i kristna kyrkor. Ursprungligen täcktes tre eller fyra sidor men från 1100-1200-talen blev det regel att endast täcka framsidan.

Färgen på antependiet brukar som regel följa kyrkoårets växlingar. Samma färger används för övrigt för mässkruden. Den vanligast använda färgen är grönt.

Historia
Antependier började användas i den kristna kyrkan under 400-talet. De var av tyg och rikt utsydda med bilder. Det äldsta nu bevarade, från 800-talet, finns framför högaltaret i basilikan Sant'Ambrogio i Milano. I Statens historiska museum finns broderier från ett antependium från 1100-talet. Broderierna utgörs av 24 runda tavlor med bildframställningar ur Kristi liv, sydda på tyg i guld mot en likaledes sydd silverbotten, allt utfört i en egendomlig teknik. Detta antependium har tidigare tillhört Biskopskulla kyrka i Uppland.

Altarprydnader i trä eller metall
Det finns även liknande altarprydnader av trä- eller metallskivor, ibland sirade med guld och ädla stenar; en sådan kallas vanligen antemensale. Statens historiska museum äger ett antemensale från 1100-talet, Broddetorpsantemensalet, vilket tidigare tillhört Broddetorps kyrka i Västergötland. Det är av ek och beklätt med drivna och förgyllda kopparplåtar. Bilderna visar scener ur Jesu liv
Lyngsjö kyrka, söder om Kristianstad, har ett unikt antemensale i metall som bedöms vara från 1140-talet.

The Pandora box of new music is easier to find these days if you like to stream, but it's not always on Pandora's app. We've already shared ten of our favorite music discovery apps and platforms, and now, one of those services is bringing a brand new look to its iPhone app: 8tracks.
With the new 8tracks app, users can view a better user experience design since it now integrates with iOS7. The new app update gives users more ways to discover playlists by allowing them to use multi-tag searches.
For example, you can add these together for a unique search query: trending, indie, calm, and beach. Further the results are displayed in a Timeline that you can swipe left to see the next playlist according to your search criteria. Likewise, swiping right will give you your previously played 8tracks.
We fully re-designed the app to be bold and beautiful, incorporating both iOS 7 standards and numerous performance enhancements. You can now more readily pick playlists based on what you're doing (e.g. study, workout, party, sleep) and how you're feeling (e.g. happy, sad, love, mellow) in combination with a deep selection of genres and artists, a fundamental component of 8tracks since its launch on 8/8/8.
8tracks promises a new Android app for later this summer. If you're at home and want to stream music, there is another way to get playlists onto your bigger screens using 8track's xBox app: As on 8tracks' website and apps, Xbox listeners can browse playlists by genre, activity and mood tags. Beyond liking mixes and following DJs, listeners on Xbox can navigate the app with voice commands, hand gestures (using the Kinect), and the good old-fashioned controller.

In 2012, common ideals and goals led a diverse group of scientists to create a vision of sustainable and responsible production of healthy food from healthy animals. Stimulated by the inspirational environment of Thiruvazhamkunnu, the group went on to develop that vision to a fuller understanding of the potential of a Global Farm Platform for optimisation of grazing livestock production systems. The ethos of this vision, summarised in our Position Paper, 'Steps to Sustainable Livestock', is now shared by a partnership of numerous scientists in world-leading universities and agricultural research institutions in six continents. Our joint Statement of Intent summarises shared goals and our strategy to achieve them. We welcome approaches from others with similar interests.
To establish a global academic network to promote farm research platforms for optimisation of ruminant livestock production and hence contribute to food security, sustainability and poverty alleviation.
To exchange knowledge, methodologies and data on global farm platforms for ruminant livestock among academics, through workshops, regional training sessions and international research project development.
To provide international experience, outlook and knowledge to academic staff involved in the development and operation of farm research platforms for ruminant livestock production, through staff placements and exchanges.
The Global Farm Platform partnership brings together the University of Alberta (Canada), the University of Bristol (UK), Kansas State University (USA), Kerala Veterinary and Animal Science University (India), the Instituto National de Investigación Agropecuaria (INIA, Uruguay), The University of Leeds (UK), Massey University (New Zealand), Penn State University (USA), Rothamsted Research (UK), the University of Sydney (Australia), the University of Western Australia, the University of Wisconsin-Madison (USA) and Zhejiang University (China). The key partners already have a strong history of working together, and are each linked to a number of relevant institutions that will make further valuable contributions to the Global Farm Platform.
This partnership will allow flow of skills and knowledge across each farm platform to ascertain the most efficient production system in contrasting climatic conditions. Key lessons learnt from these farm platforms can then help inform policy makers in the participating countries of the most efficient and therefore sustainable systems for livestock production.

Headlines and deadlines as talks move into the weekend
CHIEF MARKET ANALYST
It's been a lacklustre end to the week as European markets ebb back and forth between positive and negative territory, as both US stimulus talks and UK-EU trade talks move into the final straits, with both threatening to stretch into the weekend and perhaps beyond, pushing the deadlines, as well as the patience of the markets, to the limit.
Royal Mail shares are lower after coming in for criticism from business leaders over postal delays, saying that the company is not being transparent over the levels of disruption that it is dealing with. This is particularly bad timing given yesterday's news that Amazon and Hermes are in talks with the Post Office for it to handle parcels in preference to Royal Mail, which currently delivers all parcels from the Post Office.
Lloyds Banking shares are under pressure today, though that is probably more to do with the stalemate around UK-EU trade talks, rather than the news that the bank has scrapped bonuses this year to all of its staff. Nonetheless this is still a worrying move in terms of the outlook for its profits this year. This move would appear to highlight the pressures that all banks are under this year, with respect to non-performing loans. The bank did warn earlier this year that bonuses would be cut if underlying profit fell more than 20% below target. So far this year Lloyds has set aside £4.1bn in respect of bad loans, with an expectation that this could rise as much as £5bn.
NatWest Group's numbers also painted a similar picture earlier this year with an expectation of between £3.5bn and £4.5bn in impairment this year. Their shares are also lower today. The new restrictions and lockdowns are likely to put further pressure on bank margins as we head into next year, and today's move by Lloyds may not be the last, especially if restrictions carry on well into next year and unemployment continues to rise. Both Lloyds and NatWest, more than HSBC and Barclays are much more susceptible to the slings and arrows of the domestic economy due to their lack of investment banking operations.
Hikma Pharmaceuticals is the best performer after gaining FDA approval for the roll out of its generic version of GlaxoSmithKline's Advair drug. Wagamama owner Restaurant Group has slipped back after reporting that the impact of the November lockdown saw cash burn rise to £5.5m a month, some £2m higher than in March, due to higher furlough contribution payments, and other related costs. The company went on to say that the new tighter restrictions were likely to mean that a similar trend was likely to play out over the rest of the quarter, with two-thirds of its restaurants closed, a problem that is unlikely to improve until well into the first part of next year, if a new lockdown is imposed in January.
With fixed costs like rents still needing to be paid, despite the government help on wages being extended to April, it is becoming ever clearer that the hospitality sector could well be a lot smaller, coming out of these new restrictions as the money starts to run out. The extension of furlough money, while welcome, won't save a business that is haemorrhaging cash through having to pay continued fixed costs, without the necessary cash inflow to offset the outflow.
If there is another post-Christmas spike in infections, which seems likely and leads to longer lasting restrictions into January, and February, this could have severe consequences for those hospitality businesses that are already on the brink.
US markets have opened higher, with the S&P 500 opening at a new record high, as talks on a new $900bn US stimulus plan look set to drag into the weekend, with a deadline once again getting stretched to it limits.
Tesla shares have jumped to new record highs as it gets set for its debut on the S&P500 on Monday. The shares are already up over 600% this year alone, and since mid-November when it was announced that it would be included in the US benchmark index it has ratcheted up another $200 since then.
Moderna shares are also slightly lower after the FDA pushed back on reports that emergency approval for use as a second Covid-19 vaccine had been granted overnight. The approval is still likely to be forthcoming, however it appears that some jumping of the gun has taken place It is still a much better candidate than the Pfizer vaccine from a logistical point of view, due to a much higher storage temperature of -20C degrees.
FedEx's latest Q2 numbers came in much better than expected, revenues coming in at $20.6bn well above expectations, with the average daily package volume rising by 29% over the quarter. Profits were also higher than expected, with EPS coming in at $4.83c a share, above consensus of $4.01c. In light of how good these numbers were, it's rather surprising that the shares have slipped sharply on the open, however uncertainty about the outlook and a reluctance to offer guidance appears to have prompted some profit taking.
The US dollar is enjoying a bit of an end of week rebound after another week of losses as we get some position squaring at the end of the last full trading week of 2020, with the pound the biggest casualty as trade talks with the EU get pushed closer to the wire, with few signs of any compromise, on the remaining 5-10% of the deal.
The EU parliament upped the ante a little by setting a Sunday deadline to ratify a deal, however if the talks do drag into next week EU member states said that they would ignore that deadline if it meant avoiding a no deal outcome on the 1st January 2021, with the EU Council allowing a provisional application without the approval of the parliament.
UK retail sales for November declined by 3.8% which was slightly better than expected, however when you take fuel out of the equation, the fall was only 2.6%, while the October numbers were revised higher by 0.1%. to 1.3%.
The better-than-expected numbers for November show that even though the economy was locked down, and a lot of hospitality and retail was closed, the online part was able to pick up some of the slack, with a rise of 31.4%. Nonetheless it was still the first negative print since the end of the first lockdown. On a more positive note, consumer confidence improved in December to -26, from -33 in November, probably as a result over the news of a vaccine rollout.
Copper prices have been on a tear of late, moving up to seven-year highs on speculation that a focus on renewable energy and a green agenda will carry the red metal to levels last seen in 2011, when it hit record highs. Copper is certainly a key component in electrical wiring and with the growing popularity of electric vehicles along with other battery-operated technology, and other renewables, demand for copper could well outstrip supply, over the next few years. However, given the move towards a greener and more environmentally friendly world I'm not sure more copper mines are the answer to a greener world.
Gold prices have slipped back after some decent gains this week as the US dollar benefits from some end of week strength, and position adjustment.
Bitcoin prices have continued their recent resilience, with little in the way of a dip thus far after breaking above its previous record highs, just below $20,000 earlier this week.
Crude oil prices have maintained their recent buoyancy, hitting new nine month highs, helped in some part by optimism that the vaccine rollouts starting to get underway will outweigh the short term negatives of rising coronavirus cases, and the prospect of more lockdowns in the New Year.

Q: ImportError: Scrapy for python no longer works, No module named scrapy.cmdline Running Scrapy yields me the error:
ImportError: No module named scrapy.cmdline

I looked and I do have that module in the correct location. Can this issue be resolved by creating a new Environment Variable?

A: I work on a mac os Lion with enthought distribution and I had the same problem.
In the scrapy.py script file, the problem is that #!/usr/bin/python does not reference my enthought python so try changing the #! line to: #!/usr/bin/env python.
and the usual python is used

A: Add the correct directory to PYTHONPATH in environment variables.

Students blame authorities
By Rosie Manins and Eileen Goodwin
Drunken disorder in the student quarter is being exacerbated by police and council intervention, university students and Castle St residents say, citing a Saturday night incident as a classic example. At least one private Castle St party was shut down by a Dunedin City Council noise control officer about 10pm, forcing people out of the flat, on to the street.
$$$ ● About 300 people had gathered on the street by 11pm, when four Dunedin firefighters arrived in an appliance to extinguish two couch fires.
$$$ ● The size of the crowd prompted them to call for a back-up appliance and crew from Roslyn, as well as for police attendance.
$$$ ● At the same time, four Willowbank firefighters in an appliance were called to a Dundas St mattress fire.
$$$ ● They were finished in time to respond as back-up in Castle St, so the Roslyn crew was stood down, then immediately called out to back up a St Kilda crew, attending a fire in Harrow St.
$$$ ● In total, seven furniture fires were extinguished in the student area on Saturday night.
$$$ ● More than a dozen police officers, including a dog handler and two paddy wagon crews, arrived in Castle St to disperse the crowd about midnight.
Dunedin Mayor Dave Cull said if people's behaviour on private property was excessive and had to be curtailed, it made no sense for them to assume such behaviour in public was acceptable.
What do we think of OUSA…
Close down the Hyde St party never to return?

Moves to increase safety at Hyde St keg party
By Vaughan Elder
The Otago University Students' Association has settled on a range of measures to make this year's Hyde St keg party safer, including a "one-way" policy from as early as 2pm. An estimated 5000 people attended last year's party, which was marred by 15 arrests, the collapse of a roof overloaded with partygoers and 80 people requiring treatment by St John. The OUSA has been looking at ways to make this year's April 13 party safer. OUSA president Francisco Hernandez said apart from limiting numbers, it had settled on a range of measures, including a "one-way door" policy, with non-resident party-goers who leave the street barred from returning. It was also looking at making it a 10am to 5pm party, he said.

Bad reporting here if they couldn't even get photos of it, why use archive shit? Irrelevant reporting.
wirehunt – I used archive pics because the one supplied with the ODT article online was less than dramatic…… ODT didn't use dollar signs and bullet points……
What if? editorial license is like that…… (not a REAL journalist) thank god
In fact it just looks like they 'read the report' on Monday. This really is piss poor.

Couch burning no longer a healthy diversion
By Claudia Herron
Pyromaniac students may well be losing their get-out-of-jail free cards after Police announced they would no longer offer pre-charge warnings or diversion to those caught lighting couch fires. Fire starters would now meet their match in both disciplinary action under the University's Code of Conduct and the possibility of a criminal record.
Yeeha! … to 'disciplinary action under the University's Code of Conduct and the possibility of a criminal record'.
As peash notes over at ODT Online, why do people assault support and care services like firefighters and ambulance staff? Police are the only authority state involved, although it doesn't make it right to bottle them or anyone else such as noise control. I've never understood why someone would want to throw a bottle at someone or launch a glass over the heads of people, but they do it anyway. The bloody things can do serious harm, to state the obvious. Now this is a university city with exceptional research facilities, so let's film the individuals, identify them and then study them. Find out why someone sober or intoxicated thinks it is acceptable to do this. If the particular "idiots" are students, then I believe the university already has a code of ethics regarding the treatment of animals so they can be caged and monitored under current procedural processes.
Their comment became sadly warped; we don't have to accept the bad with the good.
I've never understood why the fire brigade doesn't simply stand back at a safe distance and soak the area around the couch, no reason to put themselves in danger and no reason to worry about getting drunk onlookers wet
[I remember, years ago, a local incident at a petrol station where young idiots out of it on drugs threatened to set their car on fire at the pumps, while they were sitting in it with a can of petrol and a lighter. The lads turned up and motioned inside the car with the high pressure hose. Tragedy averted.]
I'll let you off this time Elizabeth.
Unfortunately, it will take a tragedy or two for some change to occur to modify, but not to eliminate, their behaviour. Dunedin is party town for uni students, to let their hair down after shacking up with the olds for years. The drunken antics of students are legendary over time and us olds will still be shaking our heads for years to come.
Why not have a couch burning session in the stadium for students. We build it for them to play in, didn't we?
but that might melt the grass
Perfect Whippet. Maybe we could get a mayor or two along with some councillors to join in as their parting gesture.
November 5 would be a time to have the couch burning in the stadium. Just imagine. We could have the students doing their thing, supported by the riot squad, fire brigade, ambulance, armed defenders all doing their thing. Seating for 25,000 @ $20 bucks a ticket, plus sales of booze and pies. Make it an annual event and council could make up to a million $ a year. This event could be the best thing for Dunyden since sliced bread. Halleluiah.
Warm-up act.
Foreshadowed.
"maybe we can run the local mobsters at the bulls…."
Hype O'Thermia
The Hyde St party was getting bigger and bigger. Now it's having to be scaled down there will be hundreds of people excluded. A stadium HydeOutDone party to cater for them could grow into a major event on the youth calendar.
As a small contribution to the cleaning of the stadium after the event(s), Farry should be made to do it single-handedly, as part of his jail-crew sentence.
Don't worry about the cleanup Elizabeth. The council can handle that no trouble. The way they have cleaned up my bank account to build the stadium and all the other vanity projects, it shouldn't be too hard for them to clean up after students. By the way I see that the Mr Orders didn't come here to sit on his hands. I just hope that he stands on a few toes, looks like he may have started that already.
Well, Whippet, we're desperate so P. Orders better keep delivering!

Taxi company expects more keg party hassles
Students jumping on their building's roof, staff being terrorised and property being damaged is par for the course for Hyde St business Dunedin Taxis. This year, manager Simone Green is expecting nothing different during the Hyde St keg party.
"Dozens of extra emergency services staff are on standby in Dunedin for today's Hyde St keg party. Additional clinical nurse specialists, registered nurses, senior doctors, clerical staff, X-ray technicians, orderlies and security have been required for an expected increase in visits to Dunedin Hospital's emergency department (ED)."
That's great. But what about the rest of the year?
Many people are facing increasingly longer waits, from 12 weeks to six months for x-ray and scanning services… how about the board pull its chubby fingers out of the public salary bucket and figure out how to provide this level of service to the wider community.
Shrink wrap that white collar National puppet Tony Ryall in a week-old meal-box and let's get back to genuine health care for people, rather than budgets and ministers cooking up get-richer schemes.

Emergency services mobilise for party
By Hamish McNeilly
http://www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/252980/emergency-services-mobilise-party
Fine day for a street party
Dunedin has turned on a stunning day for the Hyde St Keg Party, and a good-natured crowd has caused few problems so far, police say.
● Nine arrests had been made, for trespass or disorderly behaviour offences, Inspector Greg Sparrow said. The number included students and non-students.
● St John, who are operating a triage at the event, said by mid-afternoon they had treated 35 people for problems ranging from minor cuts and bruises to gross intoxication.
● Eight people had been taken to hospital, among them a woman who fell off a roof in Leith St and broke an arm, St John Event Commander Doug Third said.
[Our bullet points – add to that the ● fire trucks active last night in the student area.]
News heard on the radio at 11 o'clock: Only nine arrests at Hyde Street keg party, due mostly to bad behaviour. After the break: Dunedin stakeholders and Stadium Councillors arrested, due mostly to bad behaviour. Later: Sports.

1 During the winter season, Vigils begin with the verse: Lord, open my lips and my mouth shall proclaim your praise (Ps 50:17). After this has been said three times, 2 the following order is observed: Psalm 3 with "Glory be to the Father"; 3 Psalm 94 with a refrain, or at least chanted; 4 an Ambrosian hymn; then six psalms with refrain. 5 After the psalmody, a versicle is said and the abbot gives a blessing. When all are seated on the benches, the brothers in turn read three selections from the book on the lectern. After each reading a responsory is sung. 6 "Glory be to the Father" is not sung after the first two responsories, but only after the third reading. 7 As soon as the cantor begins to sing "Glory be to the Father," let all the monks rise from their seats in honor and reverence for the Holy Trinity. 8 Besides the inspired books of the Old and New Testaments, the works read at Vigils should include explanations of Scripture by reputable and orthodox catholic Fathers. 9 When these three readings and their responsories have been finished, the remaining six psalms are sung with an "alleluia" refrain. 10 This ended, there follow a reading from the Apostle recited by heart, a versicle and the litany, that is, "Lord, have mercy." 11 And so Vigils are concluded.
Always the day begins with asking God to open our lips. We can meditate on that a lot because so often during the day it is no longer God who is on our lips! So often during the day it is not God's praises that come forth from our mouths. We want to strive to live each day with only the words of God passing our lips and only the thoughts of God coming from our hearts. Right from the beginning of describing the structure that he wants in the Divine Office, Saint Benedict is putting the Divine Office into a divine context, insisting that we are there for God, to praise God and only to speak with and to God.
The structure of Vigils is very clear in the Rule. The opening versicle, Psalm 3, Psalm 94 (the Invitatory), the hymn, then 6 psalms. After those 6 psalms, a versicle and response, the abbot's blessing, then three readings each with a response but the third response has a "Glory be to the Father" added to is. When that "Glory be to the Father" is sing, all the monks rise and bow. Then there are 6 more psalms with an alleluia refrain. Then a short lesson fro heart, a versicle and response, the litany and so the end.
If we simply look at the structure of Vigils, we must realize that this is the strongest and longest of all of the hours of the Divine Office. It is supposed to happen before daybreak and needs to be long enough so that it really is a vigil, a keeping watch for the Lord. Vigils is supposed to take some effort on the part of the monk. Saint Benedict simply presumes this and does not talk about it. Christians and monks of his time knew that Vigils was important and a strong part of the Divine Office. There are more psalms in the Vigils of Saint Benedict than there are in the entire daily Roman Office as it is now celebrated.
We can probably say, without much dispute, that Vigils is a defining office of the monk. The monk is a Christian who keeps vigil every day. It is not easy to maintain this strong discipline in our own time. So many people want to look at the Divine Office simply as a form of prayer which can altered easily. Certain Saint Benedict will later allow it to be altered, but he seems not happy about that and insists that the monks should always have at least 150 psalms in their public prayer every week. Today those who strive to live the life according the Rule fairly closely are almost put on the defensive, even by their monastic superiors, for insisting on such a strong life. On the other hand, history seems to show, over and over again, that if we want a strong monastic life, we need only return to the Rule of Benedict and somehow life comes back into a monastic way of living.
May we be strong in our monastic life! May we not be arrogant but humble! May we seek the Lord in this monastic way given to us by our Holy Father Saint Benedict.


Are you looking forward to your vacation but not all that goes into planning it? Planning puntarenas ferry schedule produces headaches, particularly when you are trying to figure out where you are going to stay. Fret not. The guide below has tips you can use to make sure that you choose wisely.
Make sure you check with any organizations of which you are a member. Sometimes you can get discounted hotel prices through these organizations. People frequently forget these discounts are available, and they can be 10 percent or more. You end up with an even bigger savings if your hotel stay is going to be for multiple nights. That can give you close to a completely free night when it adds up.
Being a member of AAA makes travel very easy. The discounts at many hotel chains and deals on car rentals can more than pay for the AAA membership fees. Parents of younger children are likely to enjoy the free car seat provided in many locations.
If you are going to inspect if your hotel room has bed bugs, then start looking in the bathroom. You probably won't find any in there. This makes it an ideal spot to put your luggage as you check out the rest of your room for bedbugs. It is also the safest place for children and pets, too.


Novozymes and Novo Nordisk use wastewater from the factories in Kalundborg for a large scale production of biogas. The new biogas reactor produces as much electricity as 7 offshore wind turbines, reduces CO2 emissions and lowers energy costs.
Novozymes and Novo Nordisk have in collaboration installed a 36 meter tall, high-performance biogas reactor. The new biogas reactor utilizes wastewater from both Novo Nordisk and Novozymes' large production in Kalundborg for an efficient production of biogas.
There are two specific reasons for Novozymes' investment in the new biogas reactor.
"Firstly, we can reduce CO2 emissions from our production. This enables us to reduce our CO2 emission with 21,000 tons annually, equivalent to emissions from 12,000 households or 1000 trucks each driving a 1000 kilometers," explains Line Sandberg, Vice President in Novozymes' Danish production.
The biogas reactor is one of the most efficient worldwide and will produce both electricity and heat. So efficient in fact that it can produce 47,000 MWh of electricity a year, which is equivalent to the electricity production of 7 offshore wind turbines or the electricity consumption of 12,000 households a year.
"In Novozymes, we have a long-term global strategy for the reduction of CO2 emissions from our production. Despite increasing productivity, the CO2 footprint has since 2005 been reduced by more than 175,000 tons globally – the equivalent of removing more than 60,000 cars off the roads. The biogas reactor is a natural part of this work," says Line Sandberg.
Novozymes has a large scale production in Kalundborg with approximately 600 employees. Line Sandberg emphasizes that the second reason for the investment in the biogas reactor relates to the future. In recent years, Novozymes has worked hard to make its production even more cost-efficient and competitive.
With a total investment of an amount in the three-digit million range in DKK, the new biogas reactor is a step in this direction.
"The biogas reactor is an investment in lower energy costs. Our Danish production reaches the whole world so the energy costs are important to us. This way, the biogas reactor is an important investment in making Novozymes' Danish production even more competitive," explains Line Sandberg.
Both Novozymes and Novo Nordisk have an independent production next to each other in Kalundborg. However, the two companies share several things, such as the purchase of energy and the treatment of wastewater. Both Novo Nordisk and Novozymes have invested in the establishment of the biogas reactor, but Novozymes owns and operates it as well as the large plant for water purification that is a part of the reactor.
The two companies are also part of the so-called industrial Symbiosis where local companies take advantage of each other's waste streams. This collaboration flourishes with the establishment of the biogas production.
"It is our vision in Novozymes to create a commercial success while promoting a sustainable environment and working to change the world. We are engaged in finding ways to do things differently so that the environment and the community around us can benefit from our solutions – now and in the long run. The biogas reactor is a great example of this," says Line Sandberg.
There will be an official inauguration of the new biogas reactor on June 7th in Kalundborg. On this day, invited guests and representatives from Novozymes and Novo Nordisk can celebrate that the biogas reactor is ready for use. Mayor Martin Damm, Kalundborg Municipality, will deliver the inauguration speech.
