Aung San Suu Kyi Could Probably Be Prosecuted for International Crimes
On Monday, a group of Nobel Peace laureates issued a remarkable public statement not only condemning Aung San Suu Kyi for actively denying that Myanmar has committed international crimes against the Rohingya, but also calling for her to be prosecuted for those crimes herself: As Nobel Peace laureates, we call on Aung San Suu Kyi, a Nobel Peace Prize recipient, to...
The Rome Statute's Flawed Amendment Regime — Starvation in NIAC Edition
On Friday, the Assembly of States Parties unanimously adopted a Swiss proposal to extend the war crime of starvation to non-international armed conflict (NIAC).

A Few Thoughts on the Afghanistan Appeal Authorization
As most readers will know by now, Pre-Trial Chamber II has partially granted the OTP's request for leave to appeal the PTC's refusal to authorize the Afghanistan investigation. Eulogies for the investigation are thus premature. A few thoughts on the PTC's decision follow. To begin with, it remains scandalous that it took the PTC this long to certify the appeal. The...

"Raising Women's Voices" is a group show of selected Ceres Gallery artists. Opening on May 22-June 16, 2018.
Last Friday, I began a collaboration with Grady Haugerud, doing "mixed media" artwork on canvas. Atlanta's influential, prominent artist, after living and working in New York for a few years, Grady works on his art in Panama now. When he lived in Atlanta, he and I travelled in the same art circles. We knew the same people, artist retreats, galleries and stories. At one time, he collaborated with another painter friend of mine and the results were amazing.
I had never met Grady Haugerud. After he moved to Panama, I gradually got to know him on social media, mainly on Facebook. We would post photos of our paintings and he liked my work; I liked his. We obviously shared the same aesthetic. As well as heritage. He's half Norwegian and I am close to half.
Anyway, back to last Friday. We met each other for the first time. And for a few days, we worked on the above painting together. It is called "Multiple Gorillas," oil, acrylic, collage, charcoal, China marker, graphite, pastel and sharpie on canvas, 36" x 48", 2016.

Snakes on a Boat
April 11, 2013 Dan Lewis Uncategorized 0
The brown tree snake, pictured above, typically grows to a length of about one to two meters — about three to seven feet. While venomous, they're generally considered harmless to people (especially adults; children bitten by a brown tree snake may be at risk). Their typical diets consist of small rodents, some birds, lizards, and even bats. They are native to Papua New Guinea, some other islands nearby, and the northern and eastern coasts of Australia. Populations of feral pigs and mangrove monitors (a type of monitor lizard) prey on the brown tree snakes, keeping their populations in check. They can't swim or, thank heavens, fly (yikes!), so they are pretty much trapped in these areas.
Unless they get on a boat.
Guam is a tiny U.S territory in the western Pacific. The island has a population of about 150,000 people and is located about 1,400 miles (2,200 km) north of Papua New Guinea, with nothing but ocean between the two. By all rights, there should be no brown tree snakes there. But sometime in the 1940s or early 1950s, the reptiles started appearing on the island, most likely after finding accidental passage on a cargo ship. Guam doesn't have any feral pigs or mangrove monitors, so there is nothing keeping the invasive snake population there unchecked.
Given free rein, the snakes destroyed large parts of Guam's ecology. As Science Daily reported, the snakes wiped out the most of the native bird population on Guam and may have even destroyed some species of trees. Because the birds ate spiders, Guam's spider population is now also incredibly high — there are spider webs everywhere. And the damage isn't limited to the island's flora and fauna; the snakes have been known to attack pets and interfere with power lines, thereby causing power outages. As of 2008, per NPR, there are as many as two million brown tree snakes in Guam — ten per person with plenty to spare. The snakes' presence on the island is often cited as one of the worst examples of a non-native species causing massive amounts of sometimes irreversible harm.
To prevent the snakes from boarding another ship (or a plane) and causing a second Guam-like disaster, authorities employ snake-sniffing dogs to ferret them out of cargo. In general, this has been successful, although snakes have been sighted on other islands (but typically are caught before they spread). But fighting the population on Guam itself? That's proven tricky. The population is too large to simply use traps or other traditional means of population control, and bringing in a natural predator comes with its own risks. (As noted on these pages earlier, feral pigs are a problem throughout much of the continental United States.) Further, the snakes reside in trees — hence the name — and many would be able to outlast a temporarily-introduced predator.
But not all hope is lost. In February of this year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced a new program. As reported by the Guardian, the USDA planned on spiking dead mice with acetaminophen (the active drug in Tylenol), which is poisonous to the snakes. Because acetaminophen is toxic to other animals as well, the USDA planned on outfitting the mice with little parachutes; this way, the little trap snacks would be more likely to get caught in the trees than fall to the ground.
Bonus fact: Hank Johnson is a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Georgia, a position he has held since 2007. In March of 2010, the House Armed Services Committee invited Admiral Robert F. Willard, the commander of the U.S. Pacific Command, to a hearing regarding the opening of a Marine base on the island of Guam. During the hearing, Johnson asked Admiral Willard if doing so would put the island at risk, stating "[m]y fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize." (Here's a video; the statement is at about the 1:15 mark.) Willard, of course, stated there was no such risk of an island capsizing (?), and Johnson later stated that the comment was a deadpanned joke.
From the Archives: The Aptly-Named Snake Island: It's not Guam. It's scarier.

The youth hockey team that was allegedly caught on video making anti-semitic remarks has reportedly been ordered to visit the Museum of Tolerance, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The team will also undergo eight hours of social media training, perform eight hours of community service through the museum and meet with a rabbi, according to Helene Elliot of the Times.
Fifteen members of the L.A. Jr. Kings hockey team and three coaches were suspended after a video emerged that reportedly showed the team making anti-semitic remarks such as "F-- the Jews" and "F——— Jews." In the video, one player on the team reportedly made the Nazi salute. The team is comprised of 13- and 14-year-olds.
The incident was investigated by the California Amateur Hockey Association, which works with USA Hockey.

Here is a check which was opened by your Dad. He didn't look at the name, I thought you might be able to use it.
Dad came home from Rotary and has been going thru junk mail and magazines which accumulated while we were away. He is in the living room half way watching the program – or the coverage of the Pope's visit. I have watched it in part. I wanted to see the Michelangelo statue at the world's fair which was shown during the Pope's visit to World's Fair Vatican Pavilion, but as usual our T.V. wasn't behaving too well. We didn't go to Rome on our trip so didn't get to see it there. That should be a good excuse for us to visit Rome.
I have been so busy trying to catch up with desk work today. I haven't made much contact with anyone. I did call Mrs. Myers, I promised her I would stop and see her tomorrow. We bought Becky a doll in Disneyland and the Indiana with a drum-like the one he has worn out – for Kirk – and I want to take that doll for Mrs. M. to see. It is for Becky's birthday and the Indiana is for Kirk's.
While in Champaign John took us to see Cat Balleau. That was very funny and if you get a chance and haven't seen it do go. Also the scenery in Lord Jim is beautiful – and although the movie has changed the story it is worth seeing. If you haven't read Lord Jim it won't bother you. The pictures which we took in Cambodia are the same as some of the background used in the picture. That is something else – the locus of Lord Jim is Indonesia. The Georges saw Lord Jim and when we told them we were in Cambodia when the picture was being made, they said that explained a few things. Nell said she knew that couldn't have been made in Bali but there was a funeral scene just like some of the pictures we have and like they also have.
Our vacation was really wonderful. We stopped in San Francisco (Sebastapol), Los Angeles, Reno, Odessa, Tex., and Beaumont, Tex. for visits and really enjoyed seeing friends and relatives, and we felt they were all glad to see us. Everyone insisted that we come to the west coast (except Juanita) to retire (now). Juanita said they were going to Laredo, Texas, to retire.

"We didn't go to Rome on our trip so didn't get to see it there. That should be a good excuse for us to visit Rome." I like the way she thinks…but why in the world did they skip Rome on their world tour?
I wonder what the Indiana doll was like.
I do remember Cat Balou; Lee Marvin sitting on the drunk horse is a classic scene.
Good to know they were pleased with their trip.

Q: Locking a newly created, uncommitted row in two concurrent READ COMMITTED database transactions If I have two READ COMMITTED PostgreSQL database transactions that both create a new row with the same primary key and then lock this row, is it possible to acquire both locks successfully at the same time?
My instinct is yes since these new rows both only exist in the individual transactions' scopes, but I was curious if new rows and locking is handled differently between transactions.

A: No.
Primary keys are implemented with a UNIQUE (currently only) b-tree index. This is what happens when trying to write to the index, per documentation:

If a conflicting row has been inserted by an as-yet-uncommitted
  transaction, the would-be inserter must wait to see if that
  transaction commits. If it rolls back then there is no conflict. If it
  commits without deleting the conflicting row again, there is a
  uniqueness violation. (In practice we just wait for the other
  transaction to end and then redo the visibility check in toto.)

Bold emphasis mine.
You can just try it with two open transactions (two different sessions) in parallel.

Saints Invite 2016: Tight Wins On Home Turf

Tight A squad huddled up for game time.
The 2016 St. George's Invitational ultimate tournament took place on the weekend of April 9th and 10th and was host to 12 teams hailing from secondary schools across the lower mainland. This year's edition of the tournament had Tight (a team made up of boys from St. George's and girls from York House) finishing in first place with their first invitational win in over 5 years!
Tight began their weekend with their first game of pool play against Churchill. After a hard fought game the two teams were tied at 8s. With the hard cap timer going on that meant this game was going to universe (next point wins). Unfortunately for Tight, it was Churchill that would score that point and take the game 9-8. Tight played their next pool play game against Kwantlen Park. They bounced back nicely from their earlier loss and came away with 15-4 victory. Tight played their final game of the day against Saint Thomas Moore Collegiate (STMC). Tired legs were evident in this game for Tight as the team fell 15-8.
The struggles from day 1 didn't faze the seasoned players. On Sunday, the second day of play, Tight came into its first two games with unmatched ferocity to close out both by a comfortable amount. This included defeating rivals, and last years Saints Invite Champions, Sutherland, in the semi-finals.
Next on the agenda would be a finals matchup against STMC, the same team that had defeated Tight just 24 hours earlier, and just like the day before, the coaches would take advantage of Tight's lack of female players leaving them without subs for most of the game. In the first 6 points, Tight would fall behind 5-1, but with an impressive push by the team's veterans, would go on a 7-0 run to close out the half-time and eventually, the game 15-13.
Yorkhouse Grad Jyoti Dhawan had this to say about STMC's exhaustion technique: "Playing our only 4 girls on the line was of course an exceptional challenge, both physically and mentally. We came onto the field dreading the exhaustion and expecting a loss, but the team as a whole surprised ourselves with our determination to win. For the girls, this was an amazing learning opportunity and challenge – for the guys, this was the moment to pick up the pace and give 100%. As a team, we faced this challenge by playing smart and never giving up, and it got us the big win!"
Congratulations to all our teams who competed out there this weekend and thank you to all the volunteers involved.
Best of luck to Tight as they head off to Washington this weekend to compete in Spring Reign, the largest youth ultimate tournament in North America.

This is not the feminist media I'm looking for, Jezebel
Emmily Bristol / December 3, 2013
I try really hard to have some kind of feminist media solidarity with other sites. It's not always easy. We don't always agree. After all, feminism is not a monolith. And it's no picnic. But I try to keep a relatively low profile when it comes to in-fighting with other feminist sites. I mean, underneath it all we are all working toward pretty similar goals, right? Don't start nothing, won't be nothing. But, more and more, I wonder if the answer is a maybe with a helping of side-eye.
Take Jezebel. There's no denying that it is a site with a delightfully high snark quotient. And when it comes to skewering pop culture, there are times when you can't do much better than Jezebel. But it's getting increasingly hard to ignore the site's serious problem on race. And I mean this from the bottom of my way-too-old-for-this-fucking-shit heart, seriously, WTF Jezebel?
Don't believe me? Allow me to elucidate:
Exhibit A. Giving (alleged) statutory rapist R. Kelly a total pass, but fuck Chris Brown right in the head. Amiright, ladies?
Just today Isha Aran had a little post on R. Kelly's new album, which is apparently filled to the brim with pussy-tastic songs about pussy. The post was called R. Kelly's 'Black Panties' is a Magnificent Ode to Pussy and featured nuggets like this:
Of course, no song quite reaches the heartfelt poignancy of "Marry the Pussy," a song which not only boasts repeating the word "pussy" 56 times, but also is an actual proposal song to a woman's sex organs. Yes. A marriage proposal to a pussy. And one that will undoubtedly usurp the stronghold Train's 'Marry Me' has on the first dance at far too many weddings.
Now, to be fair, Aran is not exactly telling us to go out and buy the album. But still, it's not exactly held in any kind of context with what we know about the maestro of pussy. Kelly has been accused of raping underage girls on multiple occasions and has chosen to settle rather than deal with whatever might come to light in a courtroom. Controversial duets with (rape apologist?) Lady Gaga notwithstanding, there is at least as much evidence linking Kelly to rapey behavior — and trolling for girls outside of high schools — as there is of Chris Brown's continued public shaming for domestic violence. Are you really going to say that it's okay to still listen to Kelly because he hasn't been convicted of rape? Because, rape culture.
Or as folks in my twitter feed explained in 140 characters or less:
WOMEN FROM FUCKING FAR AND WIDE WERE TALKING ABOUT R KELLY CRUISING HIGH SCHOOLS FOR CHICKS @JEZEBEL. WHAAAAT THE FUCK.
— Jamie Nesbitt Golden (@thewayoftheid) December 2, 2013
Next person that comes in my TL telling me the Jezebel article is satire is going to get a swift kick to the babymaker. Seriously. Stop it.
— Imani ABL (@AngryBlackLady) December 3, 2013
Actually, I can't decide what is worse. The rape culture elements — aka implicit rape apology via total lack of acknowledging history of rape-like activities — in which Jezebel as a media outlet exposes it's complete and total hypocrisy, select nihilism. Or, it's total white privilege bordering on racism. Do we even have to choose? Because, fuck you.
(And PS: I get the repetition of using the word pussy as a kind of joke about Kelly's ridiculous theme, but it wears a little like a girl who runs around saying the word "cunt" just because it pisses people off. Nobody wins. Or to put it another way: You're doing it wrong.)
Exhibit B: Katy Perry as Geisha Princess? Jezebel love her long time.
While most of the interwebs were aflame with Down with Katy Perry and her mega-fucked race-appropriations performance at the AMA's Callie Beusman was cool with casually wondering in her best "post-racism" Urkel, "Did she do that?"
Perry spent a while doing poses straight off of a "sexy Geisha" Halloween costume package, and her costume was — as pointed out at Kotaku — a mix between a kimono and a Chinese cheongsam (it's worth noting that Perry's costume featured an ample amount of cleavage, which is not at all characteristic of either garment). A lot of people on the Internet are decidedly Not Into It, leaving us to wonder, as Jesse David Fox did at Vulture: "Was Perry's Great Wave of Japanese signifiers offensive, simply stereotypical, or harmlessly deferential in an inert Katy Perry maximalist way?"
Because … white privilege.
Exhibit C: Lily Allen great social commentator on race and misogyny, or greatest social commentator?
I like a fun pop song just as much as the next gal. Well, probably not, but still. It was interesting, however, to see Jezebel's decidedly different take on the recent release of Lily Allen's "Hard Out Here" and its blog-baiting video. (Guilty.) While others decried the impressive amount of white privilege on display, coupled with a galling lack of self-awareness for perpetuating the exact things you purport to be against, Jezebel took the bold stance to be for the whole mess, crowning it a "scathing pop culture commentary."
There's nothing subtle about Lily Allen's new video for her song "Hard Out Here," and that's what makes it so great. An effortlessly poppy tune that will please those who fell in love with her way back when "Smile" first came out, "Hard Out Here" has Allen referencing everything from the sexual double standard for women to the glass ceiling. It's a feminist pop anthem you can blast at parties.
There is one thing I agree with in this paragraph. Allen's song and video are not subtle at all. But what part of it is the "feminist pop anthem?" The blatant, unironic objectification of the black female dancers? The fact that Allen is covered up and all the backup dancers are on display? The lyrics, in which Allen goes after the tropes of the R&B and rap music genres — ones that are dominated by African-American artists and listeners? Shall I go on? I mean, I'm whitey-mc-fucking-white-white and I can see this.
I'm beginning to wonder if Jezebel writers, in this case Kate Dries, know what the word satire means. (Perhaps it does mean what you think it means?)

To keep a lawn looking good it's essential to give it a little TLC. Laying a new lawn isn't simply a case of fit and forget, it will require lawn care in order to keep it looking as good as the day it was laid. Find out what you need to do to keep your lawn in tiptop condition, with lawn care tips from Essex turf and topsoil supplier, Paynes Turf.
The best thing you can do to keep your lawn healthy is to mow it. It's really important to cut the grass on a regular basis so that you don't cut off more than a third of the top of the grass blades at any one time. Regular mowing will encourage the roots to spread, which will in turn thicken up the grass blades and leave less room for weeds to develop. The weather and season will dictate how often and to what length to mow your lawn, so click here to find out more.
You wouldn't expect people or animals to survive too long without food, and the same goes for grass; a lawn that isn't fed will be susceptible to disease, weeds, thatch, and the grass may have a thin sward and shallow root system. Feeding your lawn on a regular basis will encourage strong root development, prepare the lawn for winter (after applying an autumn feed), and help to prevent weeds and moss from developing. The best time to feed your lawn is in spring and early autumn. Find out how to feed your lawn here.
A compacted lawn will lead to bare patches during the summer, and could be prone to waterlogging during the wetter months. If this sounds like your garden then it could benefit from being aerated. Aerating a lawn involves making a series of small holes deep into the lawn, which allows water to drain away quickly. Find out how to aerate your lawn here.
Before mowing the lawn, use a small garden trowel to pull out weeds. Regular mowing and feeding will go a long way to eliminate weeds from your lawn, so if you have a regular lawn care maintenance programme in place the need to pull weeds should disappear.

This evening I was lucky enough to catch a screening of Charlie Chaplin's immortal satire Modern Times at London's Royal Festival Hall featuring live accompaniment by the Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Carl Davis. The film was showing as part of the 'America 1900-1950' strand of the Southbank Centre's monumentally ambitious year-long festival of programmes addressing the evolution of 20th century classical music, The Rest Is Noise, inspired by critic Alex Ross's 2007 book of the same name. Chaplin famously composed his own scores, although he had a little help this time from Alfred Newman and a young David Raksin (best known for his theme to Otto Preminger's Laura, 1944). His original music for Modern Times, which included the hit song 'Smile', has recently been restored and revised by Timothy Brock and it was this version that so delighted the audience tonight.
I'd forgotten quite how packed Modern Times is with event and invention, from Charlie's mad rampage around the Electro Steel Corp. factory frantically tightening the buttons, nipples and noses of his colleagues to his accidental arrest as a union agitator and the extraordinary scene at the jailhouse in which he liberally peppers his lunch with cocaine by mistake, a scene that makes inspired use of the comedian's expressive features. His romance with Paulette Goddard's barefoot wharf rat is as lovely as I'd remembered and the scenes in which he fantasises about their setting up house together and entertains her by roller skating blindfolded around a department store at night are hard to beat for sheer romantic enchantment. This latter interlude actually got the biggest reaction out of the Festival Hall audience tonight - a collective intake of breath as Charlie skates perilously close to a ledge several times without even knowing it. A staggering feat of bravery from an auteur truly committed to his art.
Chaplin's comedy was, of course, entirely serious in its intention, namely to boost national morale during the breadlines and turmoil of the Great Depression by providing cheer, solace and sympathy to the downtrodden. This is cinema as public service. The optimistic ending in which he and Goddard link arms and march on along the highway and into the sunrise together brilliantly encapsulates his message but also preempts Jack Kerouac and the Beat Generation in stressing the promise of freedom and a brighter tomorrow represented by the open road. Modern Times is also an inspired and enduring workplace satire - the depiction of the steel company's president sitting in his office doing jigsaw puzzles and reading the funny pages before spying on his employees via closed circuit television, ordering them back to work, is as pleasing today as it must have been in 1936 and anticipates Orwell's Big Brother 12 years before Nineteen Eighty-Four was written. Chaplin also winningly asks, "What price progress?", and decries the dehumanising process of the industrial age. The production line leads to the madhouse, he tells us. The iconic image of Charlie trapped among the cogs of The Machine stands for all time. However, for me, it's the prototype force-feeding machine that really hits home, lampooning an era obsessed with maximising productivity and anticipating the star's barracking of "machine men with machine minds and machine hearts" in his powerful closing speech to The Great Dictator in 1940.

What if you are not home and a burglar rings your doorbell?
A burglar has several ways to get inside your home and your front door is surely on top of his list. However, before he proceeds with any of his plan, he'll ring your doorbell first. If no one answers the door, he'll assume nobody's at home. This makes it his go signal.
This is why KUNA was designed. It's a light fixture that doubles as a home security device. It can help prevent a burglary from happening at your home by looking after your front door. Furthermore, it is claimed to be the "first effective tool in break-in prevention".
Kuna is relatively easy to install. You simply need to replace your light fixture at home with Kuna using the existing wires. As such, you don't really need to worry about changing batteries and recharging. In around 15 minutes, you can have the unit up and running.
It comes in the traditional, the craftsman and the contemporary style. These styles can fit most home exterior designs so you wouldn't have to repaint them.
Kuna is also weatherproof and it is one of its main advantages over your regular security cameras.
Kuna can withstand both cold and hot temperature, ranging between -40F to 131F.
You can use any type of light you want for the fixture. It can be CFL, LED or incandescent lamps. You must take note, however, that Kuna doesn't have any night vision capability. It will depend upon the light you installed in monitoring activities during the evening. You may want to choose CFL as it is more energy efficient.
Kuna has its own app which you can download through the App store and Google Play.
The app can handle multiple Kuna units at home and is capable of notifying you of any suspicious activity as it happens.
The app also allows you to control your lights. You can set it to automatically turn on or off based on the day and night hours or to manually control them based on your preference. You can even set the lights to turn on once the motion sensor detects any movement. The range of detection of your Kuna is around 3 meters or 10 feet.
Kuna is not phone dependent. This means you can access your camera even if you're using another smartphone, provided that the phone has the Kuna App. All you need to do is to key in your login details.
The camera records HD videos at 720p and its viewing angle is marked at 116 degrees. The app provides 2x digital zooming capability to your Kuma. The camera connects via Wi-Fi and can let you see if someone is loitering around your house in real time. Kuma uses an advance technology in differentiating a person who is simply passing by, waiting or approaching your door. This helps lessens false alarms.
You can customize the alerts you receive using these motions as criteria. You can set Kuna to notify you for all the said motions or just pick one that you find most essential.
With Kuna, you'll be able to answer your door or trick a burglar as if you are home. You'll receive alerts whenever you have visitors or deliveries at your door. In case you're still at work, you can use the app to tell your visitors that you'll be late or you can ask the delivery man to just leave the package at your door.
You can use the intercom to verify. Most burglars would pretend to be a salesman whenever caught messing around a house's front door.
You also have the option to play a pre-recorded message in case you are too busy with work or you are in a meeting.
If you think the person's action is too doubtful, Kuna has a built in siren which you can easily activate through the app.
Kuna's real time video streaming and basic features come free. However, if you want to have your videos recorded, you can subscribe to its Cloud recordings. Kuna charges $4.99 per month for one Kuna light. If you have more than one unit, you just need to add $2.99 per month for the remaining Kuna devices you have.
Kuna can record for 90 seconds once it is activated. Each recording goes directly to the Cloud storage which you can later view, download or even share. Unfortunately, there is no available local storage for your Kuna. However, since the videos are stored in Cloud, you'll be able to access your recordings virtually at any time and any place.
You can get Kuna for $229 through their online store. You can pick among the three designs and the color you want them in. Each Kuna comes with a 30 day money back guarantee in case you find it ineffective. If you want more Kuna light fixtures but don't want to crowd your yard with cameras, you can simply purchase the companion lights at $114 each. You must keep in mind, however, that the companion lights won't work without the full Kuna Light.
It is expected that Kuna will soon have compatibilities with other smart devices but there isn't any clear news on when it's going to be happen. On an important note, Kuna is only available at 110v at its release and the support for 220v is yet to be announced.
I absolutely LOVE this product!!!!

Life of Abraham Lincoln: Presenting His Early History, Political Career, and ...
By Joseph Hartwell Barrett
of issues may have had its influence in inducing Mr. Douglas so completely to change front, before another twelve-month had passed. In any event, these two speeches have a rare interest, from their immediate relations to the coming contest, of which they are properly the prelude. We give Mr. Lincoln's remarks at length: SPEECH OF MR. LINCOLN, IN REPLY TO MR. DOUGLAS, ON KANSAS, THE DRED SCOTT DECISION, AND THE UTAH QUESTION.
(Delivered at Springfield, Illinois, June 26, 1857. FELLOW-CITIZENS: I am here to-night, partly by invitation of some of you, and partly by my own inclination. Two weeks ago Judge Douglas spoke here, on the several subjects of Kansas, the Dred Scott decision, and Utah. I listened to the speech at the time, and have read the report of it since. It was intended to controvert opinions which I think just, and to assail (politically, not personally) those men who, in common with me, entertain those opinions. For this reason I wished then, and still wish to make some answer to it, which I now take the opportunity of doing.
I begin with Utah. If it prove to be true, as is probable, that the people of Utah are in open rebellion against the United States, then Judge Douglas is in favor of repealing their territorial organization, and attaching them to the adjoining States for judicial purposes. I say, too, if they are in rebellion, they ought to be somehow coerced to obedience; and I am not now prepared to admit or deny, that the Judge's mode of coercing ihem is not as good as any. The Republicans can fall in with it, without taking back anything they have ever said. To be sure, it would be a considerable backing down by Judge Douglas, from his much vaunted doctrine of self-government for the territories; but this is only additional proof of what was very plain from the beginning, that that doctrine was a mere deceitful pretence for the benefit of slavery. Those who could not sce that much in the Nebraska act itself, which forced Governors, and Secretarics, and Judges on the people of the Terri. tories, without their choice or consent, could not be made to see, though one should rise from the dead.
But in all this, it is very plain the Judge evades the only question the Republicans have ever pressed upon the Democracy in regard to Utah. That question the Judge well knew to be this: "If the people of Utah shall peacefully form a State Constitution tolerating polygamy, will the Democracy admit them into the Union ?" There is nothing in the United States Constitution or law against polygamy; and why is it
He says:
not a part of the Judge's "sacred right of self-government' for the people to have it, or rather to keep it, if they choose ? These questions, so far as I know, the Judge never answers, It might involve the Democracy to answer them either way, and they go unanswered.
As to Kansas. The substance of the Judge's speech on Kansas is an effort to put the Free State men in the wrong for not voting at the election of delegates to the Constitutional Convention.
"There is every reason to hope and believe that the law will be fairly interpreted and impartially executed, so as to insure to every bona fide inhabitant the free and quiet exercise of the elective franchise."
It appears extraordinary that Judge Douglas should make such a statement. He knows that, by the law, no one can vote who has not been registered; and he knows that the Free State men place their refusal to vote on the ground that but few of them have been registered. It is possible this is not true, but Judge Douglas knows it is asserted to be true in letters, newspapers and public speeches, and borne by every mail, and blown by every breeze to the eyes and ears of the world. He knows it is boldly declared, that the people of many whole counties, and many whole neighborhoods in others, are left unregistered; yet, he does not venture to contradict the declaration, or to point out how they can vote without being registered; but he just slips along, not seeming to know there is any such question of fact, and complacently declares, " There is every reason to hope and believe that the law will be fairly and impartially exccuted, so as to insure to every bona fide inhabitant the free and quiet exercise of the elective franchise."
I readily agree that if all had a chance to vote, they ought to have voted. If, on the contrary, as they allege, and Judge Douglas ventures not particularly to contradict, few only of the Free State men had a chance to vote, they were perfectly right in staying from the polls in a body.
By the way, since the Judge spoke, the Kansas election has come off. The Judge expressed his confidence that all the Democrats in Kansas would do their duty-including " Free State Democrats" of course. The returns received here, as yet, are very incomplete; but, so far as they go, they indicate ihat only about one-sixth of the registered voters have really voted; and this, too, when not more, perhaps, than one-half of the rightful voters bave been registered, thus showing the thing to have been altogether the most exquisite farce ever enacted. I am watching with considerable interest, to ascertain what figure the " Free State Democrats" cut in the con
Of course they voted—all Democrats do their duty
cern.
and of course they did not vote for Slave State candidates. We soon shall know how many delegates they elected, how many candidates they had pledged to a free State, and how many votes were cast for them.
Allow me to barely whisper my suspicion, that there were no such things in Kansas as " Free State Democrats "—that they were altogether mythical, good only to figure in newspapers and speeches in the Free States. If there should prove to be one real, living Free State Democrat in Kansas, I suggest that it might be well to catch him, and stuff and preserve his skin, as an interesting specimen of that soon to be extinct variety of the genus Democrat.
And now, as to the Dred Scott decision. That decision declares two propositions—first, that a negro can not sue in the United States Courts; and secondly, that Congress can not prohibit slavery in the Territories. It was made by a divided court—dividing differently on the different points. Judge Douglas does not discuss the merits of the decision, and in that respect, I shall follow his example, believing I could no more improve upon McLean and Curtis, than he could on Taney.
He denounces all who question the correctness of that decis. ion, as offering violent resistance to it. But who resists it ? Who has, in spite of the decision, declared Dred Scott free, and resisted the authority of his master over him ?
Judicial decisions have two uses—first, to absolutely determine the case decided ; and secondly, to indicate to the public how other similar cases will be decided when they arise. For the latter use, they are called "precedents" and "authorities."
We believe as much as Judge Douglas (perhaps more) in obedience to and respect for the judicial department of Government. We think its decisions on Constitutional questions, when fully settled, should control, not only the particular cases decided, but the general policy of the country, subject to be disturbed only by amendments of the Constitution, as provided in that instrument itself.* More than this would be revolution. But we think the Dred Scott decision is erroneous. We know the court that made it has often overruled its own decisions, and we shall do what we can to have it overrule this. We offer no resistance to it.
Judicial decisions are of greater or less authority as precedents, according to circumstances. That this should be so, accords both with common sense, and the customary understanding of the legal profession.
If this important decision had been made by the unanimous concurrence of the judges, and without any apparent partisan bias, and in accordance with legal public expectation, and with
the steady practice of the departments, throughout our his. tory, and had been in no part based on assumed historical facts which are not really true; or, if wanting in some of these, it had been before the court more than once, and had there been aflirmed and re-affirmed through a course of years, it then might be, perhaps would be, factious, nay, even revolutionary, not to acquiesce in it as a precedent.
But when, as is true, we find it wanting in all these claims to the public confidence, it is not resistance, it is not factious, it is not even disrespectful, to treat it as not having yet quite established a settled doctrine for the country. But Judge Douglas considers this view awful. Hear him:
" The courts are the tribunals prescribed by the Constitution and created by the authority of the people to determine, expound and enforce the law. Hence, whoever resists the
ecision of the highest judicial tribunal, aims a deadly blow to our whole Republican system of government-a blow which, if successful, would place all our rights and liberties at the mercy of passion, anarcy and violence. I repeat, there. fore, that if resistance to the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States, in a matter like the points decided in the Dred Scott case, clearly within their jurisdiction as defined by the Constitution, shall be forced upon the country as political issue, it will become a distinct and naked issue between the friends and enemies of the Constitution—the friends and the enemies of the supremacy of the laws."
Why, this same Supreme Court once decided a national bank to be Constitutional; but General Jackson, as President of the United States, disregarded the decision, and vetoed a bill for a re-charter, partly on Constitutional ground, declaring that each public functionary must support the Constitution, "as he understands it." But hear the General's own words. Here they are, taken from his veto message :
"It is maintained by the advocates of the bank, that its constitutionality, in all its features, ought to be considered as settled by precedent, and by the decision of the Supreme Court. To this conclusion I can not assent. Mere precedent is a dangerous source of authority, and should not be regarded as deciding questions of Constitutional power, except where the acquiescence of the people and the States can be considered as well settled. So far from this being the case on this subject, an argument against the bank might be based on precedent. One Congress, in 1791, decided in favor of a bank; another in 1811, decided against it. One Congress, in 1815, decided against a bank; another in 1816, decided in its favor. Prior to the present Congress, therefore, the precedents drawn from that source were equal. If we resort to the States the expressions of legislative, judicial and executive opinions against the bank have been probably to those in its favor as four to one. There is nothing in precedent, therefore, which, if its authority were admitted, ought to weigh in favor of the act before me.'
I drop the quotations merely to remark, that all there ever was, in the way of precedent, up to the Dred Scott decision, on the points therein decided, had been against that decision. But hcar General Jackson further :
"If the opinion of the Supreme Court covered the whole ground of this act, it ought not to control the co-ordinate authorities of this Government. The Congress, the Executive and the Court, must each for itself be guided by its own opinion of the Constitution. Each public officer, who takes an oath to support the Constitution, swears that he will support it as he understands it, and not as it is understood by others."
Again and again have I heard Judge Douglas denounce that bank decision, and applaud General Jackson for disregarding it. It would be interesting for him to look over his recent speech, and see how exactly his fierce philippics against us for resisting Supreme Court decisions, fall upon his own head. It will call to mind a long and fierce political war in this country, upon an issue which, in his own language, and, of course, in his own changeless estimation, was a distinct issue between the friends and the enemies of the Constitution," and in which war he fought in the ranks of the enemies of the Constitution.
I have said, in substance, that the Dred Scott decision was, in part, based on assumed historical facts which were not really true, and I ought not to leave the subject without giving some reasons for saying this : I, therefore, give an instance or two, which I think fully sustains me. Chief Justice Taney, in delivering the opinion of the majority of the Court, insists at great length, that negroes were no part of the people who made, or for whom was made, the Declaration of Independence, or the Constitution of the United States.
On the contrary, Judge Curtis, in his dissenting opinion, shows that in five of the then thirteen States, to-wit: New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey and North Carolina, free negroes were voters, and, in proportion to their numbers, had the same part in making the Constitution that the white people had. He shows this with so much particularity as to leave no doubt of its truth , and as a sort of conclusion on that point, holds the following language :
" The Constitution was ordained and established by the

I'm a newbie to SharePoint Designer 2010 and saw the Workflow Initiation Form and knew it was associated with the workflow because of the buttons.   I have not modified it.  But when I try to publish the workflow, I keep seeing that the form "needs update".   How do I update the form?  I tried opening the form and then saving to my desktop but I'm assuming that this might have to be saved back to SharePoint.  I've been looking at various references, but they're super generic in talking about workflows and the initiation form.   Any ideas on why I'm getting the error?  And also good references that explain this since I have never run into this before.

2012-04-24 17:22:09.589 NSString2NSDate[20233:f803] InvalidTwo:2012-07-19 23:00:00 +0000>
2012-04-24 17:22:09.590 NSString2NSDate[20233:f803] StingTwo:2012-07-19 23:00:00 +0000
2012-04-24 17:22:09.594 NSString2NSDate[20233:f803] 1st DATE:2012-07-09 04:10:00 +0000
2012-04-24 17:22:09.595 NSString2NSDate[20233:f803] 2nd DATE:(null)

I can't get my mind on what is the problem here because both strings are outputting correct NSLog as strings. I notice that dateString2 parsed from xml had ">" at the end which is definitely added somewhere in the process so I removed it but still NSDate is (null).
Is this string encoding problem and how do I correct this?
XML file encoding is utf-8.
Thank you.

A: hh indicates hours in the range 1-12 and HH indicates hours in the range 0-23. So you should use HH instead of hh to be able to parse 23:00:00.
NSDateFormatter *formater = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[formater setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss z"];

NSDate *datefromString = [formater dateFromString:dateString];
NSDate *datefromString2 = [formater dateFromString:correct];

Also note that I've used only one NSDateFormatter. It is not an error to use two, but the second one is not necessary.
