The "Some Other Dude Did It" Defense — Infographic
By Phil Clark on Jul 31, 2019 in Blog, Boulder Colorado Law Advice Blogs, DUI Blogs |
Sowing the Seeds of Reasonable Doubt
One very unique and interesting strategy that can be employed by criminal defense teams while representing their client is the "SODDI" defense, aka the "Some Other Dude DiD It" defense. This tactic shifts the conversation from whether the crime happened or not to who actually committed the crime. This is often used to claim a case of "mistaken identity" but there are actually a variety of cases that this defense can be useful for. Need a Criminal Law Attorney in Boulder, Colorado?

A Mistaken Identity Defense
Most commonly this strategy is utilized by the defense to plant a seed of reasonable doubt among the jury by undermining the evidence, especially from witness testimony. The "Mistaken Identity" defense can be an uphill battle but can be quite effective when done well.
Undermining Evidence — That's Someone Else's!
The most important thing to maintain with the SODDI defense is that the crime was committed without a doubt, but not by the defendant. One common type of case this is used in is where police and investigators discover evidence in a place that is often used by multiple people, such as a residence, vehicle, or other public location. This allows the defendant to claim that the evidence was found in a common area and that someone else committed that crime. This strategy cannot be utilized in murder or assault cases where the defendant is asserting self-defense.
Witness Testimony — Target Inaccuracies
Due to how difficult it is to remember past events with perfect accuracy, the SODDI defense has been popular for discounting evidence from witness testimony. Scientific studies of human memory have been able to prove that bystanders are unable to recount events in an accurate way, easily being influenced even by the wording of the question being posed. Mistaken eyewitness identifications contributed to approximately 71% of the more than 360 wrongful convictions in the United States overturned by post-conviction DNA evidence. The reliability of witness testimony has plummeted in recent years as its credibility is compared with the new "gold standard" of DNA testing.
One study that discounted witness testimony was performed by a cognitive psychologist who studied witness memory. She showed subjects a video of a car wreck, and then asked them follow-up questions about what they'd seen. When she asked "How fast were the cars going when they hit each other?", subjects estimated a much slower speed than when asked: "How fast were the cars going when they smashed each other?". The study supported that the phrasing of the question can influence a subject's memory of the car accident.
The Trojan Horse Defense – Hackers and Viruses
Now, deep into the digital age of the dark web, cryptocurrencies, and hackers, a new form of the SODDI defense has appeared. The "Trojan Horse Defense" has been put to use successfully a few times over the past 20 years, claiming that a hacker used a Trojan horse virus to commit the cyber crimes — incriminating photos on hard drives, bringing about cyber attacks on other computers, and even altering tax information. A Trojan virus is an unassuming program that has been downloaded on someone's computer that actually contains harmful malicious software, or malware.The primary obstacle of the defense is to establish that Trojan viruses are fully capable of such crimes. However, to negate the defense, the prosecution must show that malware was, in fact, not responsible for the crimes charged in the case.
There have already been a few notable cases of a successful Trojan horse defense, in which the defense successfully argued that these programs can indeed effectively and discreetly execute malicious actions without raising the slightest awareness from users. Prosecutors try to combat the Trojan defense by arguing that the defendant had the technical computer expertise to knowingly commit the crime. It's the duty of the defense to raise reasonable doubt among jurors and prove that the defendant's computer was unknowingly manipulated by a third party.

The Disaster Relief Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-288) was passed into law by the then President Richard Nixon as a United States federal law that established the process of presidential disaster declarations. The bill was introduced by Senator Quentin Burdick on February 26, 1974. The bill passed 91-0 as amended on April 10, 1974 and the House agreed to conference report by a vote of 392–0 on May 15, 1974. It was to better handle the array of disasters that occur annually throughout the 50 states. At one point, more than one hundred federal agencies were involved in handling disasters and emergencies. The Act also helped give more fixed relief to disaster survivors.

Amendments
In 1979, President Jimmy Carter consolidated many of them into the new Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) by Executive Order 12127.

In November 1988, the United States Congress amended the Act and renamed it the Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Public Law 100-707).

This act was further amended by the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000.

Kate Shepherd, womantorse daz3d2 Draw-On-1.lrfr(three scenes), 2014, triptych, oil and enamel on panel, overall 6' × 11' 2".
Kate Shepherd
Galerie Lelong & Co.
The surfaces of Kate Shepherd's paintings in "Fwd: The Telephone Game" are glossy, rich, and warm, even when the colors are cool. Made on large wood panels, the works feature compositions of thin white lines in oil applied to unmodulated fields of enamel. These lines appear chaotic at first—they form jagged angles, jointed curves, and sprays like fallen pins—but on sustained viewing, familiar shapes emerge: We recognize an angle as the bend of an elbow, a curve as the swell of a hip, and two or three quick, short lines as the outline of a nipple. Some works engender these flashes of recognition more quickly than others. In the diptych daz woman david feet.s15, 22.widened (jester stance) (all works 2014), for instance, the left-hand panel clearly features a pair of feet, while in the panel to the right, the shapes are similar yet skewed; they float toward abstraction, as if Shepherd had drawn them not by looking at the left-hand panel but by listening to someone describe it.
If the lines suggest bodies, they also depict a process, or the evidence of a process, that bridges a great distance between source and painting—a series of steps, each of which changes the content of the source, like the game of telephone (hence the title of the exhibition). In many cases, Shepherd begins by acquiring 3-D digital models of a female body online (created for use by video-game designers), and then imports the files into SketchUp, a piece of software used for architectural drafting. Next, she draws over the models and rotates and manipulates the results into the form she will eventually paint in white on the surface of her panels. The transformation of computer-generated human body into digital fragments is the result of a complex process involving not only the artist but also a technical assistant based in the Middle East, iChat, Dropbox, mathematical calculations, conversations with friends and colleagues, misunderstandings, and software quirks. (Of SketchUp Shepherd has written, "The interface has to be reckoned with on its terms, like a difficult sibling.")
This convoluted series of steps gives the paintings a unique temporality, both expanding and contradicting the archetypal activity of figure painting—that is, bringing 3-D bodies to a 2-D canvas with a brush in real time. Because Shepherd's images are drawn from the eminently malleable virtual space of design software, each painting is a kind of film still, a static picture plucked from a continuous flow of them. This sense is strongest in the triptych womantorse daz3d2 Draw-On-1.lrfr(three scenes) (the works are titled after the files from which they are derived), which shows the same figure rotated three ways. Read from left to right, the lines become more legible in stages, sliding into a recognizable contrapposto curve, or—if one reads right to left—splintering into abstraction. On either side of this triptych, we might imagine the figure further abstracted and further figured. The contingency of the digital source contrasts with the panels' physicality, giving the compositions the air of a constellation, the stars having already shifted position by the time their light reaches our eyes.
For two of the works here, Shepherd selected virtual game models that reminded her of Georg Kolbe's famous sculpture of a female nude in Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's German Pavilion for the 1929 world's fair in Barcelona. In Shepherd's rendering, the lines of the figure drift characteristically toward abstraction, while additional strokes suggest the figure's iconic architectural surroundings, implying an affinity—or at least a shorter distance—between the figure's angular curves and the architecture's stark geometry. In this and a set of works based on another modernist icon, Alvar Aalto's 1931–32 Paimio chair, Shepherd interrogates the imperfect yet enduring relationship between bodies and the spaces, both real and virtual, meant to hold them.

A dispute in which the HSE claimed a leading pharmacy group was overclaiming for dispensing fees has been settled at the Commercial Court.
The HSE had alleged it was owed between €5 million and €7 million from the Hickey pharmacy group for non-compliance with dispensing rules between June 2011 and August 2016.
The case involving the HSE and DGM Pharmacies Ltd, which operates the Hickey group, was heard before Mr Justice Michael Quinn for 11 days until a settlement was announced on Friday.
In 2016, the HSE was paid €12 million by Lloyds, the State biggest pharmacy chain, in settlement of a separate dispute with that company over phased dispensing. It then widened its investigation into other operators within the pharmacy sector.
The HSE alleged the chains wrongly claimed multiple payments from the State for single prescriptions presented by medical-card holders, by phasing the dispensing of the medicines involved. The companies said it was done to prevent excessive or incorrect dosing by patients.
The test case over dispensing fees claimed by one of Hickey's pharmacies in Navan, Co Meath had opened before the court late last month.
In outlining the claim, Eileen Barrington SC, for the HSE, argued the pharmacy had received more than €419,000 in fees for phased dispensing that it was not entitled to.
The case was regarded as a test for 29 other cases initiated against DGM Pharmacies in relation to the system of phased dispensing fees.
On Friday, Nathy Dunleavy BL, also for the HSE, told the court the case had settled. Counsel said the sides had agreed the court could make a declaration on consent.
The judge made that declaration which stated that, under the 1996 Community Contractor Pharmacy Agreement, phased dispensing fees were, and are, payable for GMS patients only where an item on a single prescription form is dispensed across multiple supply occasions.
Mr Dunleavy said there were 28 other sets of proceedings dealing with similar issues and they could also be struck out.
Previously, the court heard phased dispensing is generally used to prevent excessive or incorrect dosing by the patient. Instead of giving patients a month's supply of their tablets, they are given one week's supply at a time. When the patient or a family member visits the pharmacy weekly, the pharmacist can check on their adherence to their medication.
In a grounding affidavit, Anne Marie Hoey, HSE assistant national director of the primary care reimbursement service, said it had emerged from inspections of pharmacies within various groups, including the Hickey group, claims were allegedly made to the HSE for phased dispensing claims where supply allegedly occurred on a single occasion.
The Hickey group's standard operating procedure for monitored dosage systems stated a month's supply would usually be provided to the patient by way of a blister pack and yet fees were charged by it for phased dispensing, she said.
The HSE alleged non-compliance with the phased dispensing rules, resulting in the payment of pharmacists for services they did not provide in circumstances where the HSE believed phased dispensing had taken place.
Ms Hoey said it would appear the Hickey group had taken remedial action so as to no longer routinely claim for phased dispensing when it provides blister packs with a month's medication to a patient.
Separate proceedings by the Hickey group against the HSE over allegedly wrongfully withholding payment for phased dispensing as of October 2016 have also been struck out as a result of today's settlement.

I'm Blamed For Odartey Lamptey's Divorce – Wife
Ruweida Yakubu, the wife of Nii Odartey Lamptey, former Black Stars player, has said she is blamed for her husband's divorce from his ex-wife, Gloria Odartey Lamptey.
Speaking to TV3's Bela Mundi on how she deals with issues surrounding her husband's 'messy' divorce, Ruweida Yakubu said, it was uncomfortable for her to be in the midst of brouhaha but she tried her best to perform her legal duties as a wife to her husband.
"I am a human being. I have feelings, and when the whole divorce brouhaha started, I was also sad for him. I tried to encourage him and asked him to be patient, supporting him and helping him with prayers to help him out of his challenges," she explained.
Recounting how some people attacked her verbally on social media, Yakubu, who is now into tennis said, she tried to take all the derogatory comments in her stride and move on.
She indicated that, she and her husband have over the years tried as much as they could to take things slowly as they unfold.
"The last time something came up, and people were on social media making harsh commentaries, saying that my husband is too soft, was not man enough and urging him to go and attack his ex and lots of harsh words, I felt that was too much for him and even the kids.
"I have had people attack me verbally, and I remember one time in a market, a woman saw me and started hurling insults at me that I am the cause of the mess, but I didn't talk. But, as a family, we are dealing with it on a low level," she said.
Nii Odartey Lamptey got married to Ruweida Yakubu following the dissolution of his marriage to his ex-wife, Gloria Appiah.
This was after DNA tests on all three children revealed that, Odartey Lamptey is not the father of the children.

Passing scores for GED adjusted to 145
Adjustment applies to testing completed since Jan. 1, 2014
Beginning January 26, in many states the passing score for high school equivalency moved from 150 to 145. GED Testing Service recommended that states retroactively apply the new performance levels to test-takers who have tested since January 1, 2014. Colorado has chosen to take this step.
Students who earned scores between 145-149 prior to the new passing score will now be eligible for their state's high school equivalency credential. Many more students will also move from non-passing to passing in one or more GED test subject.
Because it will take some time before the change can be implemented in various systems, such as state and GED Testing Service systems that handle transcripts, diplomas, and required data reporting systems, GED students and educators can expect to see the changes implemented starting on March 1. Scores, score reports, and other information will be automatically available on GED.com on March 1.
Bueno HEP GED staff have been working to contact those students who meet the new criteria for passing in one or all subjects. "We are attempting to contact the students, but if their address, phone number or email has changed, we may not be able to reach them," said Marion Morris, coordinator of Bueno HEP GED program at Otero Junior College.
"Seven individuals have already been identified who will receive a diploma because of the changes implemented. Several others will receive passing scores on a portion of the test, which may be enough of an incentive to help them to continue on in the program and complete the full test," Morris added.
GED Ready practice test score levels were automatically updated to reflect the new passing score, and the "likely to pass" or "green" level is now 145-200. Students can now take the updated GED Ready practice test. Students who experience a GED Ready practice test status change (e.g. move from yellow to green) will see their new score level reflected in their MyGED account.
Visit www.GEDtestingservice.com/score-changes to view the Frequently Asked Questions and other resource documents for educators.
Students who would like to check on how the changes affect them or others wishing to pursue a GED should contact the Bueno HEP/GED office at (719)384-6848 or stop by their office in the Humanities Center room 131 on the OJC campus.
Beginning January 26, the passing score for high school equivalency moved from 150 to 145 in many states, including Colorado. Marion Morris, coordinator of the Bueno HEP GED program at Otero Junior College, is working to contact students whose scores on GED testing since Jan. 1, 2014 have been adjusted to "passing" by the change.

Mother of autistic Henry left furious at neighbours' anonymous letter demanding she stops 'it' shrieking
"If your child hasn't got special needs, you have no idea what a parent or a family with a child with special needs is going through" - mum Jessica's response
Tristan CorkSenior Reporter
The mother of a child with autism has expressed her disgust after she received a letter, purporting to be from her neighbours, complaining about the noise her son makes when he plays in the front garden.
Jessica Green challenged the people behind the anonymous letter, which referred to her son Henry as 'it', to confront her face to face after it was posted through her door.
Henry is three, autistic and non-verbal, and often communicates through making noises and screeches.
She said she was left furious by the letter, which claimed to be from 'the residents and neighbours in the local area'.
Addressed 'Dear Neighbour', it said the people living in Jess's street were 'sick to death' of hearing 'your child scream continuously'.
Jessica Green and her son Henry
The poorly-spelled letter said 'everyone is talking about it', and accused Jess of neglecting Henry.
"Can the parent responsibly (sic) for the screechy, screaming child, who screams continually while it is playing outside be advised that the rest of the residents in Fishers Road are sick to death of hearing your child scream continuously.
"It gets on everyone's nerves and there is no need of it (sic). To allow your child to do that is selfish. It has got to the point now that the screeches can be heard right up in gardens on Station Road houses too.
"Everyone is talking about it and beginning to wonder if the child is actually neglected, as no one in their right mind would allow their child to scream all the time without doing something about it.
Autistic Bella is all smiles, as firm steps in to make a replica of her 'lifeline' comfort blanket
"Unless you take action and address the child's continually (sic) screaming, a group of us will be talking to Tenant Services at Stroud Council and making a noise complaint against you, as this is now a anti-social issue (sic). It's up to you.
"People can no longer sit out in their garden to enjoy the weather because all we hear is your child shrieking from across the street.
The letter Jessica Green received through her door
"We put up with it last year, all through the summer and hoped your child would have grown out of screaming but it seems not as it still does it all day every day and louder and shriller than before," the letter added.
"Please take this as it is intended and act before we have to report you to Tenant Services and Social Services," it said.
Jess, outraged, publicly called out the letter's author on Facebook, and called on them to talk to her face to face about her son.
"To whoever hasn't had the balls to knock on my door and send me this letter, please feel free to come and chat to me before you start judging," she said.
Watch how this schoolboy with autism reacts to being bullied - in the most incredible way
"My child is autistic & non-verbal. If I want to let my child play in the garden and be happy I will do so.
"If your child hasn't got special needs, you have no idea what a parent or a family with a child with special needs is going through," she added.
Henry, 3, who was called 'it' in a letter from neighbours complaining about his noise
Jess, who lives in Berkeley, near Bristol with her partner Josh, Henry and Henry's big sister, told the Bristol Post she had since spoken to many people in her street who said they knew nothing about the letter and didn't share its views.
"It seems it is just the one person, as I've had many comments from neighbours actually saying they're not involved in this horrid letter," she said.
'We will defend him to the death' - Amy Willerton hits out at bullies who targeted autistic brother
Her response added: "You can carry on and report myself and child to social services and the council but I can assure you my child is looked after a lot better than most children.
"Please share this so whoever has a problem can come and confront myself or Josh!!!!!" she added.


During the period Jan – Jun 2014, the scientists and staff of CSTRI have risen to the challenges of the industry and come out with technologies which shall bring a paradigm shift in the field. In particular the development of hot air drier and pupae separating machine will bring in major change in the way the pupae is handled and also addresses the environmental issue. Further, process protocol of degumming of silk hank under pressurised conditions has been developed and technology filed for patenting. These technologies have been well accepted in the field. This was brought to fruition in such a short period of one year. Apart from this, technologies like application of enzymes in tasar fabric finish and tasar cocoon cooking have been initiated.
The fruits of R &D are taken to the field through the CDP programme and in this period, CSTRI & its sub units have implemented 221 schemes across the country. CSTRI & its sub units have been in the forefront in implementing the CSB's flagship programme i.e., Integrated Skill Development Scheme (ISDS). During the period, 62 no. of different types of programmes were conducted and 1250 no. of persons were trained in enhancing their skill.
As we are in the middle of the XII five year plan period, I take the opportunity to urge the fellow scientists to raise to the task of achieving the various targets under XII plan and thereby serving the large cause of the silk industry.


Discussion in 'Acronis True Image Product Line' started by amb7247, Sep 6, 2008.
I get the black screen with an arrow after I choose vistaPE from the list. After I choose it it start to laod the vista files, then I get the vista is now starting splash screen then presented with the black screen with the white arrow.
I did this twice checking and double checking all my selections. I tried to use my vista DVD (pre-SP1) and tried to download the Windows AIK and I get the same result. I even went from 1024x768 to 800x600 but that didn't fix it eiher. There has got to be something I missed but I'm not sure what it is since I followed the bulding the VistaPE guide and adding the acronis trueimage 11 script I got from mudcrab.
I've recently upgraded the scripts so they work with VistaPE 011 and 012. With a pre-SP1 source, you need to stay with using version 011. With the new scripts it is no longer necessary to check the "Mount folder with programs as drive Y:" box. Please uncheck this box and try again.
You may also have a driver issue. Try adding the driver for your hard drive controller using the AddDrivers script.
A black desktop when booting into VistaPE is indicative of a permissions issue with the build. In order for WinBuilder to build VistaPE properly it needs to be in a location on your PC that does not have user permissions. Locating the folder in your "My Documents" area of the disk or on the desktop will not work properly.
The folder needs to be located at the root of a drive. You should move your WinBuilder folder to C:\WinBuilder or D:\WinBuilder and try again. If you currently have the folder on your desktop then you'll get the result you describe - a VistaPE build that boots to a black screen.
I can confirm what K0lo says as I made the same mistake only this week. Moving Winbuilder into C: Programs as K0lo suggests did the trick.
Everything seems good now. Makes me wonder what other programs I can add to VistaPE. Acronis ran like a charm and alll partitions did show up. Did a backup through VistaPE.
Good deal! If you built from a Vista DVD (not the Windows AIK) then you could consider adding some of the network apps. I like adding PENetCfg , File Sharing, and Remote Desktop for Windows networking support, Explorer Vista (+IE) and Explorer Tweaks to add Vista Explorer as the shell and the IE web browser, VistaPE Expansion Pack and Tango Icons for VistaPE for a nicer appearance. Just remember that network support will not work if you build VistaPE from the WAIK.

'RuPaul's Drag Race' Drops Controversial Segment
"RuPaul's Drag Race" is dropping a controversial segment after the Logo TV show came under fire for using a "transphobic" slur, The Huffington Post reports.
Activists complained that a challenge in the segment called "Female or She-male" was transphobic, or disrespectful of transgender people, because of the term "she-male," which the story reports "is considered by many to be a violent word used against trans bodies and lives."
In a statement, Logo said it had pulled the episode and that the challenge wouldn't appear again on the show. "Furthermore, we are removing the 'You've got she-mail' intro from new episodes of the series," Logo said. "We did not intend to cause any offense, but in retrospect we realize that it was insensitive. We sincerely apologize."

oung-Eun's father went out on a deep-sea fishing boat after his family was destroyed by a real estate scam, but for some reason he did not come back. After that, Young-Won had to take care of his mother (Kim Hee-Jeong), who was lying on the floor, and earn money at random. It was only natural for her mother to think of her father as "a man who ran away from his wife and children to live alone."
However, through the last broadcast epilogue, it was revealed that the father was living in a hut deep in the mountains. It was a natural person (Jung Seung-gil) whom Nam Sang-soon (Ahn Chang-hwan) visited for the interview. His appearance made me wonder what kind of episode he would make in the rest of the development.
▷2. Do you have any regrets for Jung Gun-joo or Jung So-min?
Shin-gyeom (Jung Geon-joo) made up her mind for eternity and announced her departure from the love triangle. He was also the one who informed Young-Won that Ja-seong was the 'Dragon' of 'My Housekeeping Wang Salt Cafe' and said, "My brother has never let go of a reporter." But is there still any regrets left in eternity? In the preview video of episode 15, which was released in advance, it was captured that he still cares about eternity and takes care of it.
In the first episode of 'Monthly House', Young-Won got back the deposit of 60 million won and inflated his dream of owning a house, but in fact, it was revealed that the money could be Shin-Gyeom's money.
▷3. Changes in the 'home' of the family members
In the past 8 weeks, there has been a change in the family. Youngone started studying real estate belatedly and is one step closer to the dream of 'owning a house', and Ja-seong learned 'home' as a 'sanctuary'. Yeo Ui-ju (Chae Jung-an) insists that real estate will fall someday and tells Sang-soon that the reason she insisted on a luxury rental was because of the wounds she received from her father. I started to see hope thanks to my wife (Jung-eun Lee).
Nam Sang-soon won the long-awaited offer to get married, but broke up with his girlfriend (Kim So-eun). In addition to the romance of eternity and self-made home, and the romance between Uiju and Sangsoon that led to a new couple, also becomes a point to watch the ending as to what kind of 'house' the family will write in the end.

David Stuart represented a young woman who was 29 years old at the time of the accident. She was a passenger on a snowmobile, riding in front of the driver, in the back country outside of Whistler when the snowmobile collided with a tree. She sustained internal injuries, multiple facial fractures, fractures to ribs, spine and right arm. She underwent several surgeries as a result. She suffered from post-concussion syndrome that affected her memory, concentration and cognitive functioning, and PTSD that caused depression, extreme anxiety and panic attacks.
Liability was hotly contested by the insurance company as the driver of the snowmobile stated that a deep rut in the snow caused the snowmobile to veer off course, an inevitable accident for which he would bear no responsibility. Our office investigated and located two witnesses whose statements disputed the driver's version of events, and we convinced the insurance company that their client was at fault.
A trial was avoided when a settlement was reached with the Insurance company for $790,000.

Q: Regex Expression to match balanced double curly braces stored in an XML document I have a bit of an odd use case. I need to determine if a given string contains a "variable" within double curly braces; such as {{date}}. The below table represents the some of the use cases and the regex I am using, (?<!\{)\{\{(?:([^{}]+))}}(?!}), gives me the desired results.

string/variable
result

text {{date}} text
true

text {date}} text
false

text {{date} text
false

text {date{date}} text
false

text {{date}date} text
false

text {{{date}}} text
true

text {date{{date}}date} text
true

text {{date}} some text {date}} text
true

However, the problem I have is that I am required to have all JavaScript functions stored within an XML document.
Sort of like this:
<script_node>
   function foo(TextWithEmbeddedVars){
     var check = /(?<!\{)\{\{(?:([^{}]+))}}(?!})/.test(TextWithEmbeddedVars);
     return check;
   }
</script_node>

Because the function is in an XML node the less than ("<") and greater than (">") symbols have to be written as < or > in order to not break the XML doc. But when you do this, (?<!\{)\{\{(?:([^{}]+))}}(?!}), it breaks the regex pattern and it ceases to work.
Is there either a way to rewrite the regex to not require the less than symbol or a different way to write it and make it XML friendly?
Thanks,
Jeff

A: Enclosing the function string in a CDATA section should solve the problem as there's no need to escape reserved XML characters inside a CDATA section.
It is the recommended way of doing this.
<script_node><![CDATA[
   function foo(TextWithEmbeddedVars){
     var check = /(?<!\{)\{\{(?:([^{}]+))}}(?!})/.test(TextWithEmbeddedVars);
     return check;
   }]]>
</script_node>

Q: Unable to remove package on Debian 7 I have a damaged installation of MariaDB which I am trying to clean out and re-install.
If I do sudo apt-get upgrade I get the following remove:
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 mariadb-galera-server : Depends: mariadb-galera-server-5.5 (= 5.5.40+maria-1~wheezy) but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

If I run sudo apt-get install -f I get:

If I try to uninstall using sudo apt-get --purge remove mariadb-galera-server-5.5 mariadb-galera-server mariadb-common I get:

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I have run out of things to try, any help is much appreciated.

A: This seems to be a known issue as reported here. The most practical solution would be to first kill of all instances of mysqld that are running:
sudo killall mysqld

And then run this as suggested to get things running with MariaDB again:
sudo apt-get -f install

If somehow that doesn't work, run dpkg --configure -a before the previous commands and try again.

A: There is a MySQL server running, but we failed in our attempts to stop it.
Stop it yourself and try again!

I had this problem yesterday when the mariadb 10.1 server package failed to update and install correctly. In the end deleting the following symbolic link may have fixed the problem.
root@box{~}:la /etc/systemd/system/mysql.service
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Feb  9 22:55 /etc/systemd/system/mysql.service -> /lib/systemd/system/mariadb.service

The main error message I received was.
Failed at step NO_NEW_PRIVILEGES spawning /usr/sbin/mysqld: Invalid argument

I found the mariadb troubleshooting guide helpful but I couldn't find an answer to the error messages I was seeing anywhere. It wasn't until I tried to install Perconadb as an alternative drop in replacement that I found my way to that symbolic link.
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/troubleshooting-installation-issues/

A: If none of the aformentioned workarounds did the trick try these two commands.
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/mysqld.service
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/mysql.service

Then run
sudo apt -f install

A: For me it started as I was installing akeneo with mariadb
I got the error:
+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Check   | Errors
|
+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| ERROR   | Install MySQL greater or equal to 5.7.0 and lower than 5.8.0 (installed version is 5.5.5-10.1.30-MariaDB-0ubuntu0.17.10.1) |
+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

For some reason Akeneo would not work with this setting, even though it seems like mariadb was based on mysql 5.7. So I needed to switch mariadb to mysql-server.
sudo apt-get install mysql-server

The install removed mariadb, but will reinstalling mysql there was this error:
invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "stop" failed.
invoke-rc.d returned 5
There is a MySQL server running, but we failed in our attempts to stop it.
Stop it yourself and try again!

I could not find any running sql server with
sudo ps -aux | grep sql

Or anything else, so I tried to uninstall all mysql related packages.
Whatever I would try next, be it purging uninstalling mysql-server or mariadb nothing would work even:
apt --fix-broken install

So I had to look for the packages with:
sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep mysql

Which gave me:
libdbd-mysql-perl                               install
libmysqlclient20:amd64                          install
mysql-client-5.7                                install
mysql-client-core-5.7                           install
mysql-common                                    install
mysql-server                                    install
mysql-server-core-5.7                           install
php-mysql                                       install
php7.1-mysql                                    install

and
sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep mariadb

which gave me :
mariadb-client-10.1                             deinstall
mariadb-common                                  install
mariadb-server-10.1                             deinstall

I then proceeded to remove all the packages I found with
sudo dpkg -P <packagename>

And FINALLY I could reinstall with
sudo apt-get install mysql-server

On-loan Iron attacker George Thomas made his first senior start for Wales in their 1-0 International Challenge Match win over Trinidad and Tobago on Wednesday night.
The 21-year-old played the full 90 minutes as they won 1-0 through a last-gasp goal from Ben Woodburn in Wrexham.
During the game, the on-loan Leicester City man had the ball in the net as he flicked the ball home, but it was ruled out for offside.
It's his third senior cap for the country, after attaining his first back in May 2018 and his second came as a substitute against the Republic of Ireland back in October.


Amateur Radio operators have a long tradition of going beyond operating, moving into technology development, home construction, and experimentation. Designing and building one's own station equipment can be rewarding, providing more in-depth knowledge and excitement. There are a number of ways to make good use of a properly equipped workshop for projects. We will explore many of the options radio experimenters choose to pursue.

"OK"
Mutiny on the Bounty (1962) Review

They don't make films like Mutiny on the Bounty anymore. The road show spectacular is a lost art that has disappeared along with 70mm cameras. But in 1962, MGM's remake of the Gable-Laughton Mutiny of the Bounty was the most breathtaking of all the big super-productions coming out of Hollywood. Exciting, colorful, no expense spared (the studio even constructed its own exact copy of the H.M.S. Bounty with craftsmen laboring at wooden hull construction), a cast of thousands (when that really meant a cast of thousands), the pageantry of real Tahitian locations, Mutiny on the Bounty was a massive, awesome extravaganza.
With veteran director Lewis Milestone at the helm (this was to be his final feature), Bounty shoves off in impressive form. As in the 1935 version, the film chronicles the repressive and sadistic Captain Bligh's (Trevor Howard) attempts to corner the market in breadfruit for England by traveling to the South Seas and First Lt. Fletcher Christian's (Marlon Brando) mutiny, casting Bligh to sea in a rickety boat with a handful of allies as the mutineers set sail back to Tahiti.
But being 1962, the old Clark Gable/Charles Laughton dynamics have drastically changed. Coming off the razor close 1960 Presidential campaign of Richard Nixon and John Kennedy, this new Bounty pits Bligh and Christian as old-school Republican versus new generation Democrat. Howard's Bligh is a Nixonian paranoiac who feels inferior to the naval upper class and treads on fear -- he tells Christian, "Fear is our best weapon."
Brando's Christian is everything Bligh hates. Bligh remarks upon first seeing Christian, "So, I've had a career fop pawned upon me as a first mate." And the upper class Christian is Kennedy-esque -- a denizen of the effete class but yet a man of the people, more comfortable among the uncouth shipmates than Bligh, even though Bligh is closer in class to them than Christian.
This dichotomy leads to the biggest shock of the film -- Brando's performance as Christian. With Clark Gable's recent death creating an awareness and an expectation in moviegoers of 1962 for a robust and manly Gable characterization, instead Brando delivered a nasally, aristocratic poseur. The first time Christian is seen he is emerging from a royal coach, a shit-eating grin on his face, escorted by two flowery women, wearing a flowing red cape, a fashionable hat, and a jumpsuit with ruffles. No wonder Bligh immediately hates him. And Brando has no compunction about making himself look like a idiot -- he appears later on wearing a nightcap and smoking a very long pipe and, once in Tahiti, getting adorned with Tahitian ornamentation, exclaiming, "Oh, isn't that jolly." Clark Gable he ain't. Even so, Brando gobbles up all the actors around him and, as the film progresses, Brando more than proves Christian's mettle.
Christian is also something of a watershed role for Brando. At 38, this would be his last rebel role. From this point on, Brando would solely portray authority figures in various states of disrepair. Here too is seen the first inkling of Brando's post-Last Tango in Paris career recklessness, more than willing to sabotage a film to get at a new, bizarre angle on a character.
As for the film itself, the first half of the film leading up to the mutiny is vibrant and exciting, with such impressive set pieces as the failed voyage around Cape Horn, the splendid Tahitian settings, and an energizing fish-catching sequence. The second half of the film falls apart with the post-mutiny narrative buckling and lurching forward nonsensically -- the most egregious moment being when Bligh is cast adrift in the rowboat on the open sea. Bligh announces that they will have to make an arduous 4,000-mile ocean voyage to the nearest port... but the next time we see Bligh, he is hopping out a carriage in London fresh, rested and not too much the worse for wear.
And there are more screwball moments -- Christian chasing down deserters in Tahiti by walking on water and hailing the king's outrigger like a taxi, Richard Harris's countdown to Brando's blowup, and the longest death scene in cinema history.
Still, how can a film go completely wrong when it features dialogue like, "You remarkable pig! You can thank whatever pig god you pray to that you haven't turned me into a murderer."
The two-disc DVD contains a bunch of extras, including an excised prologue and epilogue and five featurettes extolling the manmade construction of a new Bounty for the film -- the most interesting of which is a promotion to attend the Mutiny on the Bounty exhibit at the 1964 New York World's Fair.

Friends of the Earth (Melbourne)'s renewable energy campaign
Energy in Victoria – The Facts

EarthWorker initiative approaches milestone, need your help
By Anna Boddenberg & Mark Tyler
If you have been following the Earthworker Cooperative journey for a while now you'll know we've had our ups and downs over the last 17 years, but in that time we've made enormous gains. We've grown from a few committed activists to a thriving community with broad networks and three budding cooperatives.
The Earthworker Cooperative community at our recent retreat in Bunyip
One of those cooperatives, Eureka's Future Workers Cooperative, has been undergoing mutualisation while continuing to produce quality solar hot water tanks from its factory in Dandenong.
Due to unforseen circumstances we now have one week to complete the buyout of the tank manufacturer, allowing Eureka's future to become fully operational with a clean slate. We are calling on all of our supporters to pitch in at this crucial time and do what they can to help:
Invest in Earthworker Cooperative Debentures. We have already raised close to $350,000 from debentures but we are still $150,000 off our ultimate funding goal.
Share this as widely as you can throughout your networks. Help us find potential debenture holders and big investors. Tell you friends, tell your family, drop it into conversations with your co-workers, your barista and your tennis coach.
Something else! If you have other ideas we are very open to hearing them. Email contact@earthworkercooperative.com.au

For those who are seriously considering investing in this project, there are some more details about the situation and what Earthworker is asking for at the bottom of the email.
Two recent developments are indicative of the growing awareness and support for Earthworker:
The Executive Director of the United Nation Framework Convention on Climate Change, Christiana Figueres, has written an official letter of endorsement for Earthworker. This follows a meeting that she requested with some Earthworkers, in which she expressed how grateful and excited she was that Earthworker is taking practical steps to build a just transition to a sustainable economy.
Al Jazeera has published an article on Earthworker, detailing some of the worrying ecological and economic trends in Australia, and how Earthworker is an example of people building practical strategies to work our way to a better future. Click here to read it.
We have only got this far because of the broad-base of people who are behind the project. For those who want to know more about investing in Earthworker, read below for more details.

INVESTING IN EARTHWORKER Q & A
Q: What will the money be used for?
A: The funds raised through members investing in Earthworker will;
'buy-out' existing owners of Everlast, paving the way for cooperative take-over
provide 6 months of working capital to allow ongoing supply of materials from suppliers
pay the wage of an EBA business development officer for the next 12 months
Q: Will it work even if the money is raised?
A: There is nothing certain about the future of the cooperative, as there are too many factors that are out of our control. However, there are a lot of indications that if we can facilitate ongoing supply of materials, gain 6 months cash flow and 12 months wages for the Business Development Officer that we will be in a very strong position.
Q: What indications are there that the cooperative will be in a strong position if this capital can be raised?
A: There are three factors that suggest Eureka's Future Workers Cooperative will be able to sustain and grow if we are able to raise the capital required;
Tank orders currently on the books represent approximately $216,000 in revenue due in next month, if all 180 orders can be produced and dispatched this month;
In the past month, Eureka's Future's business outlook has improved, with a key former customer coming back on board, requesting additional monthly orders of 40-80 tanks. This would go a long way to covering the overheads of running the factory. Assuming no successful implementation of Earthworker's marketing strategies (leaving production levels at 120 per month from August onwards), cashflow projections indicate that the business will produce a monthly surplus of around $9,000 from September. The fundamentals look good, what we need is time and space to keep building the cooperative up.
As an addition to increasing demand from existing sales, we are ready to roll out our collective sales strategies. In particular, our first Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA) is ready to go. Federation University has signed off on their EBA and the workers now have the opportunity to acquire Earthworker products through some form of direct wage deduction. With a dedicated organiser committed to this side of operations, Earthworker would be well-placed to start the process of workers at Federation University acquiring affordable solar hot water systems through their EBA, and thus building up even more demand for the factory.
Q: What happens if the target is not reached?
A: The debentures that come in through this round will be returned if we do not reach our target. In the worst-case scenario that at some stage the factory is not viable, then we will be seeking to repay any debentures that have gone through in previous rounds via the manufacturing assets we have already acquired.
The full Debenture Disclosure Statement is available on our website along with investment FAQ and the Eureka's Future Business Plan.
Q: OK I want to invest some money in Earthworker, what do I do?
A: If you are keen to invest or have suggestions for other ways to help, please get in touch! Email contact@earthworkercooperative.com.au, visit the investment page on our website, or phone Dan on 0432 485 869.

« Coming home to another war - Soldiering on? The human cost of war | Main | Surging Through the Khyber Pass and into a quagmire - Antiwar Activists Reawaken as Obama Weighs Afghanistan Strategy »
Chicken Hawks Unite by Gloating in a Blood Bath - The Protesters Are Back
This piece of crap, by Marc Ambinder, was published by The Atlantic, October 30, 2009
Not that they ever officially left, but Politics Daily's Shahzad Chaudhary reports an uptick in anti-war protest activity as President Obama weighs his options in Afghanistan, including more arrests at the Capitol this year than last:
With waning public approval of the Afghanistan war, however, antiwar groups have noticed an increase in support. "We've had a lot of decentralized action in October," said Gael Murphy, co-founder of Code Pink.
Antiwar actions such as the committee hearing protest, in which Blome and Hubert participated in earlier this month, have slowly started to reemerge. So far this year there have been eight official "disruption of Congress" arrests, compared with only four in all of 2008, according to Capitol Hill Police. These types of protests are likely to increase, said Murphy.
Code Pink has been around since 2002, regularly disrupting activities on Capitol Hill while decked out in full pink regalia, known for pulling theatrical pranks.
It was founded by, and continues to be led by, a handful of early-middle-aged women who gave up their lives to come live in a communal house in Washington, DC, to dedicate themselves to protesting the war in Iraq at every opportunity.
While Chaudhary reports that their activity dropped off after Democrats took control of Congress in 2006, they were quite active during the next year, turning immediately on the Democrats who suddenly controlled the purse strings for the Iraq war effort. They dedicated themselves to holding Democrats responsible for the war--"you're in power now, it's up to you to make it stop," basically, was how they put it--and some of their more sensationalistic protests have happened since the Democrats took power.
In March of 2007, four Code Pink members were arrested for staging a takeover of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's congressional office. They were there trying to tape a game of "Pin the War on the Donkey" to the wall in the hallway, and planned to play it as fellow protesters infiltrated the office (knowing that the Capitol Police would arrest them as they did so).
I was standing in the hall at the time (I'd heard this was going to take place), and I noticed that several of the protesters started crying, on cue, as the protest began.
I asked one of the criers, a 24-year-old named Rae Abileah who still serves as Code Pink's local groups coordinator--much younger than the group's leaders and probably the youngest one outside Pelosi's office that day--what the crying was all about. She told me she was crying out of "outrage that this is all we can get from the Democrats."
Then there was the blood-on-the-hands Condoleeza Rice incident in October 2007. As then-Secretary of State Rice began to take her seat at the witness table before a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing in 2007, one of Code Pink's leaders walked up to her and shoved fake-blood-stained hands in her face, shouting, "The blood of millions of Iraqis is on your hands, Condoleeeza!"
The late Tom Lantos, the committee's courtly, mild-mannered Democratic chairman--a Holocaust survivor born in Hungary--stepped between Rice and the protester, waving his arms frantically for police to get her out. "Out!" he shouted, as she was led away.
None of these antics have endeared Code Pink to Democrats, who are as irked as anyone else when protesters disrupt their hearings--especially since they've become the object of Code Pink's scorn.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Party rode anti-war sentiment to power in 2006, and when anti-war protesters began pressuring Democrats to strip funding for the war entirely--something President Bush had vowed to veto through several House votes on a defense appropriations bill in 2007--it was bad publicity.
Code Pink became a liability for the Democratic Party. Could Dems live up to the wishes of their base? became a question surrounding the new congressional majority.
And nobody liked that.
Pelosi succeeded in forcing Bush to veto an appropriations bill that contained benchmarks for the Iraqi government's internal political process--but a benchmarks strategy wasn't good enough for the protesters. Tensions were running high all-around: Democrats couldn't get their benchmarks approved, Bush couldn't get a war-funding bill to his desk, and Code Pink, all the while, protested them both.
When President Obama came to power and the Iraq war seemed to almost be over, I called Code Pink to ask them: what now? The war is going to end (or so everyone hoped), and the one candidate who opposed it from the start is now the leader of the free world. Do you pack up and go home?
"Well, we oppose the war in Afghanistan, so we plan to continue to protest," a Code Pink member told me then.
Naive as I was, this came as a surprise. The nation's anti-Iraq-war sentiment had been rolled into support for the effort in Afghanistan during the previous four years, as Democrats from John Kerry to Barack Obama called it the "forgotten war," blaming Bush and the GOP for starting an unnecessary fight in Iraq while ignoring the noble one in Afghanistan.
But Code Pink doesn't see it that way. Coincidentally, this is a position they may be forced to rethink, or so the Christian Science Monitor suggests: when Code Pink's leader, Medea Benjamin, traveled to Kabul, Afghanistan this month, she stood up at a town-hall meeting and asked Afghanistan's former Minister of Women, Masooda Jalal, if she would prefer more international troops or more development funds to flow into Afghanistan.
"It is good for Afghanistan to have more troops -- more troops committed with the aim of building peace and against war, terrorism, and security -- along with other resources," Jalal replied, according to the Monitor's Aunohita Mojumdar. "Coming together they will help with better reconstruction."
It is a reality that the whole of the nation's left must face: if U.S. troops withdraw from Afghanistan--or if the mission is scaled back to include counterterrorism operations and drone attacks along the Pakistani border, primarily against al-Qaeda--the Taliban will likely gain a greater foothold in parts of Afghanistan, which will mean hell to pay for some of America's supporters, and the elimination of rights for some women.
In Washington, DC, Code Pink continues to protest the Afghan war. Their function is to remind lawmakers that some Americans oppose it--or, at the very least, oppose the troop increase President Obama is weighing, even if they don't see things in Code Pink's starkly ideological terms. They are, in short, the voice of the nation's peaceniks on Capitol Hill.
But since 2006, when they decided to hold Democrats accountable for the war in Iraq, they've held an antagonistic relationship with the ruling party. Since then, Democrats haven't wanted to say anything bad about Code Pink--recognizing the anti-war, anti-Bush sentiment that buttered their bread in the '06 Democratic wave--but they haven't taken them particularly seriously, either.
A chunk of the anti-Iraq-war groups that thrived in the Bush years are either now defunct or have fallen out of prominence. On Capitol Hill, Code Pink remains the face of the protest effort.
As Democrats are faced with this pressure from clusters of pink-clad critics, with their president weighing a decision on the future of America's war in Afghanistan, it's questionable whether Code Pink actually pushes consensus toward withdrawal--or whether they turn Democrats off, to some degree, to what they stand for--just as the late Chairman Lantos had has fill two years ago.

Detecting test samples drawn sufficiently far away from the training distribution statistically or adversarially is a fundamental requirement for deploying a good classifier in many real-world machine learning applications. However, deep neural networks with the softmax classifier are known to produce highly overconfident posterior distributions even for such abnormal samples. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective method for detecting any abnormal samples, which is applicable to any pre-trained softmax neural classifier. We obtain the class conditional Gaussian distributions with respect to (low- and upper-level) features of the deep models under Gaussian discriminant analysis, which result in a confidence score based on the Mahalanobis distance. While most prior methods have been evaluated for detecting either out-of-distribution or adversarial samples, but not both, the proposed method achieves the state-of-the-art performances for both cases in our experiments. Moreover, we found that our proposed method is more robust in harsh cases, e.g., when the training dataset has noisy labels or small number of samples. Finally, we show that the proposed method enjoys broader usage by applying it to class-incremental learning: whenever out-of-distribution samples are detected, our classification rule can incorporate new classes well without further training deep models.


Born on July 23, 1918 in Orangeburg, South Carolina, to Mr. and Mrs. Burt Williams Andrews, Joseph grew up in Washington, D.C. where his father, an 1898 graduate of The Citadel, was working as a lawyer for the U.S. Government.
Joe was a Pre-Medical student and member of Cadet Company C his sophomore year, Cadet Company D his junior year, and was a Cadet 1st Lieutenant on the 1st Battalion Staff his senior year. After graduation, he attended George Washington University Medical School and was a member of the Nu Sigma Nu medical fraternity. He enlisted in the service of the Army Air Corps as an Aviation Cadet on December 17, 1941.
On August 15, 1944, 2Lt. Andrews was serving with the 8th Troop Carrier Squadron, 62nd TC Group when he was killed-in-action in the early hours of Operation Dragoon, the allied landings in southern France. According to eyewitness reports, the glider he was piloting struck an obstacle in the Landing Zone near Le Muy, France, at approximately 100mph, and he was seriously injured. He died later that night in a field hospital. Cause of death was recorded as internal injuries and cerebral hemorrhaging.
He was buried in a temporary cemetery near the original LZ. Le Muy is in the vicinity of Draguignan, France where the permanent Rhone American Cemetery is located. Lt. Andrews' remains were repatriated after the war, and a flat granite marker was ordered in 1948 to be delivered to the Rock Creek Church Cemetery, Washington, D.C. His father and his brother, Burt, Jr., Class of 1942, are also buried there.
Burt Junior's classmate, Franklyn Madden Ketchum, was killed in action the day after Joseph leading his platoon up off the beach during the Operation Dragoon landings. 1Lt. Ketchum rests in peace at Rhone American Cemetery. Another of their classmates, Thomas Brown Gautier, Jr., also participated in the landings and was awarded the Silver Star medal for his heroism and leadership. Cpt. Gautier was killed in action in December 1944 in France.
