Record temperatures in Australia this month
A report in The Observer (20.1.19) states that temperatures in the high 40s and edging up to 50°C are making it impossible to do much in sweltering Australia. So far, the highest record daytime temperature is 49.1°C in Tacoolain South Australia. Most people are staying indoors, as handling tools can burn hands, and letting their dogs outside can lead to blistered feet. The road surfaces are also melting.
It is hot in the night time too, with record highs every single night of one week in January 2019. Last week, there were reports of millions of river fish dying, due to depletion of oxygen in the water (related to an algal bloom caused by the heat). The mass fish death has led to criticism about water management.
Dead fish along the Murray River
The Guardian published a piece about poor water management on 25th January 2019:
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/jan/25/when-the-river-runs-dry-the-australian-towns-facing-heatwave-and-drought?utm_term=RWRpdG9yaWFsX0dyZWVuTGlnaHQtMTkwMTI1&utm_source=esp&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=GreenLight&CMP=greenlight_email
Further information can be found in the Australian press:

And now a terrible story of the mass deaths of wild horses in the centre of Australia. These are feral horses – Australian's call them Brumbies – who have gone to a water hole in the extreme heat to drink but found it completely dry. See the following link for the story:
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-01-23/mass-brumby-death-discovered-in-remote-central-australia/10739178

Australia, being in the southern hemisphere, is in the midst of its summer, whilst the northern hemisphere is facing a freezing winter. A colleague has suggested to me that Australia could be a kind of climate change testbed or warning. First masses of dead fish and now dead horses. Is this the face of things to come?
Let us hope that these awful scenes cause a change of mind by the Australian government so that they stop plans for allowing the mining of coal in Queensland.
More fish deaths – 30th January 2019
Locals around the Darling River were confronted with a sea of white, as dead fish carpeted the waters near the southeastern Outback town of Menindee.
Just weeks after up to a million were killed — with scientists pointing to low water and oxygen levels as well as possibly toxic algae — another mass death occurred in the key food growing region.
With temperatures expected to rise and no rain forecast, there remained a "high risk of further fish kills over the coming days and week," officials said.
While the federal government has blamed the deaths on a severe drought, experts and locals say they stem from the systemic depletion and pollution of the river.
The inspectors added that the latest bout of kills were likely linked to "critically low levels of dissolved oxygen" caused by a sharp drop in temperatures after an extended period of hot weather.
January 31st 2019: Flying Foxes falling out of trees in Australia
Australia is in the midst of an unrelenting, record-smashing heat wave that has left temperature maps so red the country looks like it's on fire.
The country has hit highs exceeding 120°F (49°C) during the day. And New South Wales set a new record for all of Australia last week when nighttime temperatures never fell below 96.6°F (35.9°C).
The temperatures have been so brutal in South Australia, in fact, that heat-stressed bats are literally falling out of trees.
Australia's fruit-eating bats cannot regulate their body temperature when the thermometer hits 104°F (40°C). Nursing females are vulnerable because they already have raised body temperatures. Young pups are the most vulnerable.
The picture above shows an Australian fruit bat (Flying fox) suffering from heat stress.

El Derbi Eterno del fútbol Búlgaro o, simplemente, el Derbi Eterno () es el nombre del derbi nacional de fútbol entre los dos clubes de fútbol más populares y exitosos de Sofía y de Bulgaria, el PFC Levski Sofia y el PFC CSKA Sofia. Los clubes han ganado 26 y 31 títulos de campeonatos nacionales, y 26 y 21 títulos de Copa de Bulgaria, respectivamente.

Historia

La rivalidad comenzó a finales de 1940, cuando el club recién fundado del CSKA se convirtió en campeón en su primer año en el fútbol competitivo en 1948. Ambas temporadas de 1948-49 y 1950, terminaron con los dos equipos enfrentados entre sí en una emocionante final de la Copa del ejército soviético, en la que el Levski Sofia ganó en sendas ocasiones después de la prórroga de la repetición de la segunda final, ya que los dos últimos partidos de la final había terminado en empates.

Durante los años, los dos equipos se convirtieron en los más grandes y exitosos, amasando grandes bases de aficionados. Los enfrentamientos entre los clubes y sus aficionados se volvieron algo común y con frecuencia dio lugar a tensos encuentros en el terreno de juego y los enfrentamientos entre los aficionados más radicales fuera del campo. La hostilidad llegó a su clímax el 19 de junio de 1985, durante la final de la Copa de Bulgaria celebrada en el estadio Nacional Vasil Levski, cuando después de muchas decisiones arbitrales polémicas ambos equipos demostraron poco espíritu deportivo al protagonizar espectaculares peleas entre ellos en el terreno de juego. El 21 de junio, el Comité Central del Partido Comunista Búlgaro emitió un decreto que disolvió los dos clubes. El, por aquel entonces, llamado CSKA Septemvriysko zname tuvo que ser refundado como Sredets y el Levski como Vitosha. A seis jugadores (incluyendo Hristo Stoichkov y Borislav Mikhailov) se les prohibió de por vida jugar al fútbol profesional, al igual que muchos otros jugadores y miembros del cuerpo técnico por períodos de tres meses a un año. Un año más tarde la decisión fue abolida y los jugadores continuaron sus carreras deportivas.

Resumen de resultados

 Actualizado al 15 de mayo de 2022

Nota: Todos los partidos que han terminado con una victoria en la prórroga se representan como una victoria para el respectivo club. Todos los partidos que han terminado con una tanda de penaltis se representan como empates con el resultado final después de 120 minutos.

Nevin Martell's Freak Show Without a Tent, Reviewed
by Mark Athitakis June 27th, 2014 August 29th, 2020
"Travel is glamorous only in retrospect," wrote Paul Theroux, who's spent much of his career explaining that going to unknown places means embracing tedium, delay, and emotional dysfunction.
D.C.-based food and travel writer Nevin Martell (also a Washington City Paper freelancer) knows the feeling: He spent much of his adolescence being dragged by his parents from one exotic island to another, which was less romantic than it seems. Martell is a child of privilege—his father was a successful New York restaurateur who cashed out early—but as he points out in his comic memoir, Freak Show Without a Tent, all that moving around left him in a perpetual state of disorientation. "Back in Clinton [N.Y.], I was Nevin from Somewhere-Not-Here," he writes. "When we traveled to far flung locales, I was Nevin from Not-There."
If he's fishing for pity, Martell does a good job of hiding it; much of his book treats all this traveling as fodder for comedy. In Vanuatu, 12-year-old Martell witnesses a coming-of-age ritual in which boys leap off towers tethered to vines: "It's basically bungee jumping minus the safety harness and the multimillion-dollar insurance policy." In Fiji, he downs a coconut shell's worth of intoxicating kava, leaving him with "all the grace of a dying gazelle stuck in quicksand." An island off the coast of Venezuela is so desolate it "would be a perfect location to shoot Mad Max 4: So Fucking Far Beyond Thunderdome You Wouldn't Believe Me If I Told You."
The gags obscure the fact that, despite the weirdness promised by the title, Martell doesn't get involved in too much drama himself: He doesn't jump off a tower, doesn't get terribly loopy off the kava, and doesn't wind up skeletonized by piranhas. And Martell tends to lay the jokes on a bit too thick; it's easy to imagine that a sitcom pitch based on this book is floating around somewhere. But he writes thoughtfully about the tension that thrums underneath his father's tiring demands for adventure: Dad is a proto–Anthony Bourdain, eager to experience something authentic amid the tourist traps, while his wife, Martell, and Martell's younger sister try to keep him tethered to reality.
At his best, Martell can make this tension feel Thurberesque and not merely wacky. Dad's effort to land a mahi-mahi off a zigzagging fishing boat is woven around Nevin's squabbling with his sister and his shift from mildly seasick to thoroughly barfy. A failed attempt to shoot a bird in the Azores offends his sister, scares his mother, and disappoints his father. "My cowardice was multifaceted," he writes.
It gives away nothing to say that all of these efforts to push back against the routines of domestic stability prove to be, well, destabilizing. In the lessons-learned epilogue of the book, Martell describes a recent trip to Costa Rica with his father, who's bummed that he can't go on a zipline but has learned to settle for the satisfactions of a decent espresso instead. As his dad has mellowed, so has his son. It's not as thrilling as jumping off a tower with a few vines tied around your ankles, but whatever helps you become a grownup qualifies as a worthwhile adventure.

Fat Loss – Struggle of a Lifetime or Reward of a Better Life?
As per the dictionary – there are about 3 or 4 definitions of the word 'fitness'. In the real world, however, there are as many definitions as there are people willing to volunteer their answer. Many factors go into this 'infinite meanings of fitness' scenario – but one of the most influential, is one's own place in their journey to a better quality of life – a state of optimal fitness.
I remind you – when I use the phrase 'optimal fitness' – I am not saying we must all look like the models that cover the pages of the glossy fitness and glamour magazines (although there is nothing wrong if you do) – I'm talking about fitness that goes beneath our outer layer – fitness that includes your health/medical profile, your moods, your energy, your longevity and the vitality of your spirit… Fitness is not just about 'ripped abs', 'super hot bodies' and 'chiseled muscles' – no its much broader and deeper than that.
We each have circumstances, experiences and life situations – that influence who we are, how we think and the actions we take. At any given point we have the ability to go inside ourselves to take more control of 'who we are and what we choose to do' – There is a great example of someone doing this right now in her brief but very insightful article, (click to read => The Struggle of a Lifetime.
Many of you – male or female, fitness beginner or seasoned fitness pro, will get something out of reading this article and following Leanne's progress. The photo overlay of her fat loss she shows, is very neat – …never saw one like that. Her story is one that MANY of you will be able to identify with – and on the other hand some of you will have no idea of what she has gone through – BUT – you may know someone who has or is going through what she talks about.
Learn from her words and see what you can do to help yourself or someone you know who may be looking for some support and encouragement. In world loaded with isolated health and fitness tips – a 'true to life' story can be the big catalyst that moves people into action and toward permanent success.
Don't Be Like Everybody Else… Be Fit!
PLEASE NOTE: The book is not for sale yet – but you can get all the details after you read these early reviews by clicking to the Home Page. And don't forget to sign up for the RSS feed over on the right – VERY important!
Oh – and don't forget to leave a comment at the end of this post, and then please spread the word about this site and the book.
Certified Fitness Professional and Writer for Health, Cooking Light, All You, SELF and Prevention magazines.
"Joey's Fatness to Fitness sends a message that is so often overlooked in training programs available today . . . that fitness is NOT limited to washboard abs and big bulging muscles. Our bodies are a direct reflection of how we feel about ourselves, respect ourselves, and even how seriously we take our commitment to our loved ones to be a good role model and to live long enough and healthy enough to enjoy them for years to come.
"Fatness to Fitness takes you by the hand and guides you through all of the confusing information littering the weight-loss industry today, while blasting away all of the myths and obstacles that may have held you back in the past.
Joey's care, concern and commitment to your success drip from every page and it's like feeling he's there with you through your entire journey on the path to getting in the best shape of your life.
"Fatness to Fitness is so much more than just a book. It's a step-by-step guide to looking and feeling your very best. It's chock-full of sound advice, but in an easy-to-follow format that you can actually adapt to your busy schedule. I loved the lessons and I loved that it focused not only on nutrition and exercise, but also on how to have the right mind-set.
"I think you'll find it very refreshing that Joey has been where you might be right now. He knows how you feel and he knows how to lead you to your best.

Mister: What have you produced recently?
Sumer: I worked on a Sour Patch Kids commercial with Method Man.
Mister: Did you enjoy sneezing for this?
Mister: What's in your hand?
Nick: A Q-tip. That's how I make myself sneeze, I stick it up my nose and give it a tickle. I gotta run.
Mister: You're a photic. It's Greek for 'of light.' You're light sensitive.
Patrick: Not really. I sneeze in the light, though.
Mister: It's an inherited trait. One in three people have it.
Mister: You have a dog now.
Tova: Yes, Marlo. He's the best.
Mister: Did you know a sneeze can travel 100 miles per hour and expel 100,000 germs into the air?
Mister: Did you hear about Tova's dog?
Brian: Yeah, Marlo! He's really cute.
Mister: Who do you miss more, Tova or Harris?
Brian: Don't you want to ask me about teaching?
Mister: You've been doing a lot of improv these days.
Mister: A sneeze can actually be considered part of the immune system. When a foreign agent, like bacteria, triggers a sneeze response, signals are sent to tightly close the throat, eyes, and mouth. Next, your chest muscles vigorously contract and your throat muscles quickly relax. As a result, air, saliva and mucus are forced out of your mouth and nose.

Failures of the American Dream in The Great Gatsby and The Grapes of Wrath
An effortless quote, just a few words put together in a sentence, can often perfectly explain the backbone of some stories. Oscar Wilde's simple, seven worded sentence, "Ambition is the last refuge of failure" perfectly articulates basic ideas of both The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck ("Oscar wilde quotes", 2010). The characters in both books are searching for the figurative Eden of the time, the American Dream. However, in both cases, the characters fall short at achieving the basic ideas of that dream; social development, wealth achievement, and endless opportunity. The Grapes of Wrath and The Great Gatsby imitate the same ideas in the way that all characters fail to obtain the American Dream, and in the process, they fail themselves.
Part of the American Dream is the hope of advancing, in some way, socially; both Gatsby and the Joads' fail the dream by doing the opposite. Jay Gatsby spends his entire life fixated on winning back Daisy, but when the time comes, he actually pushes her away. His sudden courage to reach out to Daisy causes her to tell Gatsby the truth that "Even alone I can't say I never loved Tom," she admitted in a pitiful voice. "It wouldn't be true" (Choat, 2002, chapter 7). The verbalization of that decision is the final straw for their relationship, it is never exactly the same again, and he actually regresses in his relationships from that point on. The Joads have a parallel experience except it is death and absence that pushes them away from the American Dream. When Ma says it "Use' ta be the family was fust. It ain't so now. It's anybody," she means everyone has put themselves first, compared to before they left when they functioned as a family. The det...
...y to take, especially when it concerns something as vast as the American Dream. Two stories, The Great Gatsby and The Grapes of Wrath mutually explore this topic. Both sets of characters miss the three main ideas of the Dream, social development, wealth achievement, and endless opportunity; therefore fall short of attaining the American Dream.

Expectations Of Women In The Great Gatsby
Tom sees right through Jay's little romance with Daisy as absurd, calling him out as, "crazy!"(125) Since his devotion for her boarders on obsession, creating a visionary life with Daisy, and unrealistic expectations she will never be able to fulfill. Tom sees the affair much differently as just a bump in the road, Gatsby's expectations of Daisy will put her in unbelievable pressure and will overwhelm her. Overall Tom's willing to forgive her, and let her continue living the life that she already has been, while Jay wants to change everything about her lifestyle. Daisy responds in between Jay, and Tom's argument, saying "'I did love him once − but I loved you too.'" (126) She is confronting her conflict, by trying to rationally infer what her decision should be to resolve this rivalry. By choosing Jay over Tom she would be essentially wrecking her marriage, and the future stability with Tom.

The Emptiness of the American Dream in The Great Gatsby
When he encounters Tom, he refuses to shake his hand and says to him "'You know what I think of you" (178). He sees through everyone's affectation and realizes how perverse their behavior was. He also abandons the East and moves back west because he has discovered that his dreams can never be accomplished and thus resolves everyone's hopes. In the world of Gatsby achieving the Dream is impossible unless one is to abandon all sense of propriety and become as "careless", cruel, and essentially empty as Tom and Daisy.

Women In F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby
Wanting to be with her true love again, she sneaks visits with him without Tom knowing. Just like Myrtle had, Daisy torn into her own marriage. She loved both men, but as soon as it was found out, the men began fighting for her. "I glanced at Daisy who was staring terrified between Gatsby and her husband…" (Fitzgerald 143). This isn't what Daisy wanted at all.
edmundlear Edmund's Soliliquy in Act 5 Scene 1 of Shakespeare's King Lear
Shortly afterwards at the beginning of act five scene three Cordelia and King Lear are captured and held prisoner. In the selection I chose, Edmund expresses his true feelings about the love triangle he and the sisters Goneril and Reagan are in. "... Neither can be enjoyed, If both remain alive: to take the widow Exasperates, makes mad her sister Goneril; And hardly shall I carry out my side," (V, i, ll 58-61) Edmund conveys how though both sisters are vying for his love and eventually his hand in marriage, he does not love either, and is only playing them for his own benefit; he just wants to increase his power. "Stands on me to defend, not to debate."

Heathcliff, heartbroken and hopeless, abruptly leaves Wuthering Height for two years. Catherine is left wondering where he is. Heathcliff leaves in search of revenge.

Corruption Of The American Dream Analysis
Jordan states, "She might have the decency not to telephone him at dinner time. Don't you think?"(20) Jordan prompted that Tom is sleeping with somebody else. Tom hits her and he doesn't even care about her well being. Daisy thought she had everything until she understood she really has nothing and her life was corrupted trying to live the American dream. Daisy thought she would have love when she married Tom but she didn't.

Q: library to convert string to operations Is there a Java library I can use to convert conditions into actual code instead of using a lot of case statement for all the cominations?
Eg: "GT value1 LT value2" and it should return true/false based on the input values I give.

A: I guess you need to look at ANTLR framework.
ANTLR website
Just for the headsup:
ANTLR: Is there a simple example?

A: This isn't a trivial task, what you're asking for is a scripting language interpreter for Java.
You could look at OGNL or the JSR api. These both require fairly extensive knowledge of syntax; so depending on what you want to do may not fill the brief.
However, without some structured syntax you are relying wholly on the structure of the English language - you are getting into the realms of NLP.
You could just use a scripting language like Groovy if all you are looking for is a way to change behaviour at runtime.

Robotics Club Presentation Given To Federated Women
Beyer High School Robotics Club members demonstrated the machine they created for participation in national competitions this year. The after school club appears at a Riverbank Federated Women's Club gathering each year about this time to show off their skills for the club, which helps sponsor them. Advisor Heidi Pagani, right, holds a demonstration object the robot is to pick up and place on a simulated rocket during competition. Ric McGinnis/The Times
Ric McGinnis
The recent Riverbank Federated Women's Club meeting was invaded by an artificial intelligence, created by local students for competitions across the country.
The "Iron Patriots" Robotics Club from Beyer High School demonstrated its skill and ability using the robot they created for this year's national competition. Although the club is based at Beyer, students from other high and middle schools have participated in the creation and competition phases of its development, according to advisor Heidi Pagani, including students from Riverbank High. Some of the Beyer students also live in Riverbank.
The number 4135 on the robot and the team's shirts indicates the position the club was assigned when it began, Pagani said, noting that there are now more than 9,000 robotics teams across the nation.
Officially an after school club, the robotics reflect the school's dedication to furthering STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) studies for both boys and girls.
The group made its presentation to the women's club to show how the money the club has provided was used to further the robotic activities and competitions.
The women's club raises money with its public events to provide a number of scholarship awards to local students, particularly girls, to help further their education, according to President Mary Wolgamot.
The group meets monthly, but takes the summer off, so in May, it will have its installation of new officers for next year.

Legal Pleadings: Motions to Dismiss
Second Motion To Dismiss
(Counts 3, 29, and 30)
COMES NOW the Defendant, by and through his undersigned counsel, pursuant to Rule 3.190, Fla. R. Crim. P., and respectfully moves this Honorable Court to dismiss Counts 3, 29, and 30 of the Information of the above-styled cause, and, as grounds therefore, states as follows:
1. The Defendant is charged in this case by Information.
2. Count 3 of the Information alleges tampering with physical evidence (that is, destruction of a computer hard drive), in violation of §918.13, Fla. Stat., a third degree felony.
3. Count 29 of the Information alleges promoting sexual performance by a child (that is, the Defendant allegedly did, "record a video depicting the lewd exhibition of the penis of M.S."), in violation of §827.071(3), Fla. Stat., a second degree felony.
4. Count 30 of the Information alleges lewd and lascivious conduct (that is, the Defendant allegedly did "unlawfully touch … M.S. to kiss him with an open mouth"), in violation of §800.04(6)(b), Fla. Stat., a second degree felony.
MEMORANDUM OF LAW
A. Count 3 – Tampering with Physical Evidence
The State has alleged, in Count 3 of their Information, that the Defendant:
… did alter, destroy, conceal or remove a hard drive with the purpose to impair its verity or availability in a proceeding or investigation knowing that a criminal trial, proceeding or investigation by a duly constituted law enforcement agency of this state was pending or was about to be instituted …
(emphasis added).
This "hard drive" was seized during the time of the July 16 search of the Defendant's house. That hard drive is subject to suppression, as demonstrated in the Defendant's contemporaneously filed Motion to Suppress Evidence (the content of which is incorporated and adopted herein). Thus, assuming suppression is granted, the Court need not necessarily reach the merits of this motion.
As demonstrated in the Defendant's Motion to Suppress Evidence, the July 16 Search Affidavit did not provide probable cause for the seizure, and/or later search, of a "hard drive." Thus, the "hard drive" the Defendant allegedly "altered, destroyed, concealed or removed" was not evidence that could be legally seized by the State. Since it could not be lawfully seized, it was factually and legally impossible for the Defendant to have committed the crime charged.
Moreover, since the Affidavit contained no probable cause the Defendant was engaged in possession of child pornography, which Affiant has further admitted, under oath in his sworn deposition, the searching officers could not have been lawfully conducting an "investigation" of any items containing child pornography – including the hard drive.
Similarly, the Defendant had no knowledge of the existence, and certainly did not have knowledge of the content, of the Affidavit or the Search Warrant. Indeed, the Warrant was not served on him until after the officers had entered his home (and the Affidavit was not disclosed until days later). Thus, he did not know the nature of their "investigation," let alone that the investigation involved alleged possession of child pornography (which, as noted, it did not, because Affiant, admittedly, and as revealed on the face of the Affidavit, had no probable cause the Defendant was in possession of child pornography).
By law, the State has to prove both the (1) existence of an "investigation" related to the items allegedly destroyed, and, (2) knowledge on the part of the Defendant of the existence of that "investigation." §918.13, Fla. Stat.; Fla. Std. Jury Instr. (Crim.) 21.8.
To establish a violation of the statute, "the State must prove a defendant 'had knowledge of an impending investigation and destroyed evidence in order to impair its availability for the investigation.'" Costanzo v. State, 152 So.3d 737 (Fla. 4th DCA 2014) (emphasis added), citing State v. Major, 30 So.3d 608, 609 (Fla. 4th DCA 2010) (quoting C.K. v. State, 753 So.2d 617, 618 (Fla. 4th DCA 2000)).
All reported case recite that statutory element of knowledge, such that, to establish a violation of the statute governing tampering with physical evidence, the state must prove the defendant had knowledge of an impending investigation and destroyed evidence in order to impair its availability for the investigation. Reinlein v. State, 75 So.3d 853 (Fla. 2d DCA 2011); State v. Major, 30 So.3d 608 (Fla. 4th DCA 2010)
As noted, since the issuance of the search warrant was accomplished in secret, the Defendant would not possible have known of the subject matter or scope of the warrant, let alone that it [improperly] sought evidence of child pornography.
This knowledge element is integrally related to the Constitutional rights under the Fifth Amendment. Thus, in order to punish a defendant for an act associated with his constitutional right not to bear witness against himself, proof beyond reasonable doubt is required that defendant harbored proscribed intent of tampering with evidence to impair its availability was proof in criminal proceeding or investigation. McNeil v. State, 438 So.2d 960 (Fla 1st DCA 1983). Again, no such intent can exist where the defendant has not been made aware of the nature and scope of the "investigation," such as is the case here, with a secret search warrant.
Moreover, as the State well knows – the hard drive was not destroyed. The State retains its full capacity to retrieve its contents, which is an additional basis for granting this motion.
Costanzo, at 738, further stated:
Similarly, in Evans v. State, 997 So.2d 1281 (Fla. 4th DCA 2009), we held that the trial court erred in denying a motion for judgment of acquittal on a charge of tampering with evidence where the defendant threw a crack cocaine rock onto sandy ground as officers approached for a stop. We held that the fact the officers were unable to find the drugs due to the nature of the surface of the ground did not demonstrate the necessary specific intent to tamper with or conceal the evidence. Id. at 1284.
Such equivocal conduct differs from that conduct that completely destroys potential evidence, such as swallowing an object. See State v. Jennings, 666 So.2d 131, 133 (Fla.1995); McKenzie v. State, 632 So.2d 276, 277 (Fla. 4th DCA 1994) (holding that "swallowing a substance" demonstrates the necessary intent to amount to a violation of section 918.13, just like "flushing it down a toilet").
Lastly, the Court will note that Count 2 charges the identical statutory crime – but as it involves the iPhone that was the subject of the search. Even if the Defendant had been given a copy of the Search Affidavit, prior to the search, the only probable cause he would have read would have been as to his iPhone, which further demonstrates he could not possibly have had knowledge of any investigation involving child pornography, such that Count 3 is particularly appropriate for dismissal.
For the reasons stated herein, the State cannot prove either of these required elements.
B. Count 29 – Promoting Sexual Performance by a Child
The State has alleged, in Count 29 of their Information, that the Defendant:
… on or between January 1 and July 13, in the County of ST. JOHNS and State of Florida, did produce, direct or promote a sexual performance, to wit: did record a video depicting the lewd exhibition of the penis of M.S., a child less than 18 years of age, while knowing the character and content thereof, contrary to Florida Statute 827.07(3).
This video is contained in a flash drive which was seized during the time of the July 16 search of the Defendant's house. That flash drive (identified by the State as a USB flash drive) is subject to suppression, as demonstrated in the Defendant's contemporaneously filed Motion to Suppress Evidence (the content of which is incorporated and adopted herein). Thus, assuming suppression is granted, the Court need not necessarily reach the merits of this motion.
§827.071(3) proscribes "promoting sexual performance by a child when … [the performance] includes sexual conduct." (emphasis added). In turn, "sexual conduct" is defined in §827.071(1)(h) as follows:
"Sexual conduct" means actual or simulated sexual intercourse, deviate sexual intercourse, sexual bestiality, masturbation, or sadomasochistic abuse; actual lewd exhibition of the genitals; actual physical contact with a person's clothed or unclothed genitals, pubic area, buttocks, or, if such person is a female, breast, with the intent to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of either party; or any act or conduct which constitutes sexual battery or simulates that sexual battery is being or will be committed.
(emphasis added – to the only portion of this statute applicable to Count 29).
The State asserts that the "exhibition of the penis of M.S.," recited in Count 29, involves a photograph taken while M.S., then 8 years old, was taking a bath. None of the conduct defined as "sexual conduct" by the statute can possibly apply to this video, other than the "actual lewd exhibition of the genitals" part of the definition of sexual conduct. Indeed, that is precisely what Count 29 alleges.
However, any such exhibition must be "in a vulgar, indecent, lewd, or lascivious manner." There is no definition "lewd" in Fla. Std. Jury Instr. (Crim) 16.9. However, that term is defined in several other Florida Statutes and jury instructions, including Fla. Std. Jury Instr. (Crim.) 11.9. That jury instruction contains definitions that inform us as to the meaning of the term "lewd," as follows:
As used in regard to this offense the words "vulgar," "indecent," "lewd," and "lascivious" mean the same thing. They mean a wicked, lustful, unchaste, licentious, or sensual intent on the part of the person doing an act.
Acts are not vulgar, indecent, lewd, or lascivious unless such acts cause offense to one or more persons viewing those acts or unless the acts substantially intrude upon the rights of others.
Clearly, a picture of the penis of an 8 year old, while taking a bath, cannot possibly qualify under that definition.
Florida case law has repeatedly held that mere nudity does not qualify as a lewd and lascivious exhibition of sexual organs. Duvallon v. State, 404 So.2d 196, 197 (Fla. 1st DCA 1981); Goodmakers v. State, 450 So.2d 888, 891 (Fla. 1st DCA 1984). Specifically, the sexual organs must be "in a state of arousal." Goodmakers at 891. The State has no such evidence – nor could they, given the young age of M.S. Indeed, even public nudity does not qualify under the statute. United States v. A Naked Person Issued Notice of Violation No. P419490, 841 F.Supp. 1153 (MDF 1993).
To put a finer point on the failure of Count 29 to state an offense, even an adult taking a bath in the presence of a child does not qualify as lewd and lascivious. McKinley v. State, 244 P. 208 (33 Okla. Crim. Court of Appeals 1926). A fortiori, an 8 year old child taking a bath in the presence of an adult cannot possibly qualify as lewd and lascivious conduct.
In short, Count 29 fails to state an offense and should be dismissed.
C. Count 30 – Lewd and Lascivious Conduct
… on or between January 1 and July 13, in the County of ST. JOHNS and State of Florida, … did unlawfully and intentionally touch, M.S. a person less than 16 years of age, in a lewd or lascivious manner {or} did solicit to commit a lewd or lascivious act, by forcing M.S. to kiss him with an open mouth, contrary to Florida Statute § 800.04(6)(b).
§800.04(6)(b) proscribes "intentionally touching a person under 16 years of age in a lewd or lascivious matter." (emphasis added). In turn, "lewd and lascivious manner" is defined in Fla. Std. Jury Insts. (Crim.) 11.10(d) as follows:
The words "lewd" and "lascivious" mean the same thing and mean a wicked, lustful, unchaste, licentious, or sensual intent on the part of the person doing an act.
Obviously, "lewd and lascivious," under Count 30, carries the same definition as it does under Count 29, and thus the law recited above is equally applicable.
More specifically, counsel has thoroughly researched §800.04(6)(a)1., and has not found a single case holding for the proposition that an open mouth kiss can possibly qualify as "lewd and lascivious" under this statute.
Thus, unless the State has such a case, it is clear that the conduct alleged in Count 30 fails to state an offense, and is subject to dismissal.
WHEREFORE, the Defendant respectfully requests that this Honorable Court dismiss Counts 3, 29, and 30 of the Information in the above-styled cause.

If you are responsible for leading a business function and optimizing the performance of people, then you are paying attention to the enormous impact that automation will have on your workplace and workforce. Machines and cognitive systems will change how AND how well work gets done.
Advances in robotics have already started displacing entire job categories in the services sector: self-driving vehicles, drones and warehouse robots to name a few. And, that's just the beginning. Cognitive systems – software that can read, hear and think – are re-writing the capability requirements for today's knowledge workers. As lower-level knowledge processes will increasingly get automated, the bar will rise on the critical thinking and problem solving skills workers need to remain relevant and viable. Today's invaluable employees are insights experts, not information users.
Leading organizations are focused on how they can develop and manage a workforce of insights experts. Based on trending and recent research from Deloitte, IBM, Laci Loew & Company LLC, McKinsey, and others, today's business performance relies on the relentless pursuit of building experts faster. Top-performing organizations are committed to augmenting human ability to understand, synthesize and evaluate the mass amounts of information bombarding their workforce 24x7. They seek faster, better ways of identifying experts, empowering them to quickly filter out actionable insights, and bring experts together to expose the power of "brilliance in the collective" that was never before possible.
This webcast in "fireside chat" style will offer insights on the transformation of the business climate over the last 20+ years, how today's cognitive systems are facilitating the transformation of workers from information users to insights experts, how insights experts are evolving their capabilities, and what you should be doing to leverage the coming together of technology (cognitive systems) and humans (insights experts) to maintain a relevant, high-performing workforce.

If you have been subjected to domestic violence, we can help you to obtain a Court Order to prevent the perpetrator from continuing the harassment and violence towards you – whether this abuse is verbal, physical, or emotional.
We can apply for a Non-Molestation order which will prohibit any further violence and harassment and/or an Occupation Order if it is necessary to remove the perpetrator from the home.
If you are not eligible to apply for an Order under the Family Law Act, or if you are being continually harassed, threatened, pestered or stalked after a relationship has ended, you can take action under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997.
Harassment is both a criminal offence and a civil action under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997. This means that someone can be prosecuted in the criminal courts but it also means you can take action against the person in the civil courts. The court can order that the person harassing you must stop their behaviour. If they do not stop their behaviour it is a criminal offence and they can be prosecuted in the criminal courts.
At W Davies, we can advise you on the best course of action for you. For further information or to arrange a FREE CONSULTATION with a Family Solicitor in Woking please contact June Reid at jmr@wdavies.com, or telephone 01483 744900.
Further information on domestic violence can also be found at www.womensaid.org.uk.
Of course, women are not the only victims of domestic violence and harassment. Further information on domestic violence against men can be found at Men's Advice Line and the NHS website.
