It's the norm these days for weddings to take place stretching over days. These involve celebrating customs not related to Islam at all. It also leads to unnecessary and useless expenditure hence taking us away from the purpose: Gaining Barakah and Pleasing Allah Subhana o Ta'ala.
While planning my brother's wedding a few years back, it was mutually decided to have a simple wedding. And Alhamdolillah the bride and her family also had the same intention. Both the families never got caught up in the pressure that we HAVE TO do such and such just because it's the 'IN' thing, or to match up with the way others were doing it.
There was no mehndi, mayoun, sangeet, baarat, rukhsati etc. Having no cultural, unislamic celebrations meant that we were relieved of the huge expenditure on themes, dresses, elaborately decorated halls, food, stress and fitnah of arguments between both the families. No sleepless nights practicing dance steps. Not going crazy roaming around the whole city looking for the perfect center piece for each table.
My mother (who is the MIL!!) explicitly stated that no dowry was required at all. Infact she said it quite a few times, so much so, that on returning home one day, we had to tell her politely not to mention it again during the planning discussions lest the bride and her family thinks that we are indirectly stating the opposite. To this day we and my sister-in-love have a good laugh about it!!
On the other hand, my SIL too told us not to buy certain things for her, for eg, cosmetics, perfumes, etc because she already had bought her favorite brands and would be bringing along her stuff she was already using, instead of going on a shopping spree.
The Nikah was done in the Masjid where only the immediate family members of the couple were present with two witnesses.
After the Nikah, an informal lunch was arranged at the groom's home.
A'isha (May Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (May Peace & Blessings be upon him) said: "The most blessed marriage (Nikah) is the one with the least expenses." (al-Bayhaqi in his Shu'ab al-Iman & Mishkat al-Masabih).
Even though the wedding was not being conducted in our home country where family and relatives are many, we still had loads and loads of friends and families in our country of residence. Making the guest list was a huge challenge but as we had the number of people in mind already so it was easier to fit in the guests accordingly.
There were two separate halls for the men and women which was really appreciated by everyone. The women were happy and excited that they could dress up in their best attire without having to worry about being in their Hijab and Niqab throughout the wedding in the presence of non-mehram men.
The food and décor was provided by the hotel management. No elaborate decorations were needed as the décor provided by the hotel was simple yet beautiful. We only had to purchase two fresh flower bouquets for the sides of the stage as it was not provided by the hotel.
Food was to be served separately in the men and women halls; not very huge banquets but moderate number of dishes.
The bridal dress was left up to the choice of the bride. She designed her own dress and got it made on order instead of investing in a ridiculously expensive designer wear. The dress was absolutely gorgeous. As with most cases, the bridal wear is worn only once and then packed away, never to see day's light. But this lovely bride lent it to another bride to be worn on her wedding.
The guests were very happy. There were many mutual friends who met each other after a long time at the waleemah. No music and blaring songs meant that there was no uncomfortable noise and people could talk and not scream. They all thoroughly enjoyed the wedding and appreciated the initiative we took towards conducting a simple yet exciting marriage.
It's not that there were no challenges going against the norms (set by society) but the point is that if one is confident of doing the right thing and wants to please Allah, then Allah definitely will make it easy. As a result, Allah Blesses the marriage, and puts love, respect and understanding in the hearts of the couple as well as the families.
I think the step change happens when we start thinking of weddings as a 'religious' function rather than just a 'social' function. We marry because it is the Sunnah of our prophet – peace and blessing be upon him and so that is the lens we need to see things through. It is heartening to know that you and others have been able to not only believe in the sunnah but actually bring it to life. What kills me is the innumerable people who feel the pain and agony that comes with planning elaborate weddings but lack the courage to stand against it. My family and I did stand up against status quo and we were hated for it. But we kept silent and let the storm pass knowing that we did it only for Allah. Today years later, we are only told what a good tradition it was to set and we smile knowing we could have done better. Old traditions are hard to break but once done, it makes you feel so much lighter. Kudos to you and May Allah give us all the courage to break free from the shackles of blind-following.
Nice post.I agree with your thoughts.This Sunnah should prevail in our societies.
I completely agree with this post. Weddings are so much better with less extravagance and it such a relief for the family.
Mashaallah 🙂 May Allah bless their marriage with love, happiness and success in ever way!
I agree what is most difficult is going against the societal norms. I never wanted to wear gold on my wedding day yet I bowed down to pressure and wore a few.
Jazak Allah Khayr for your lovely Dua Shahira <3. Aameen.
Dowry is one thing that I really hate! My MIL wanted furniture right down to cushions…when I wasn't even staying in Pakistan. I had a go at my dad to stop him buying it all…but he still ended up buying a bed and wardrobes….now everyone who visits their house sleep on the bed and wreck it. Oh and a motorbike for hubby. Along with other small bits and bobs.
Mubarak on the nikkah and may their union be blessed in sha Allah.
Jazak Allah Khayr Sister for your lovely wishes and Dua.
It becomes very difficult indeed for the bride and her family with the demands. May Allah Guide us all.
MashAllah! Your post is very inspirational for those who are in favour of a simple marriage and I am sure it will be a meaningful lesson for those who believe in marriage being extravagant.
It is disheartening to see the most expensive marriages take place in our community. It's great to see people who heed to true Islamic teachings about marriage and expenses. Hope it inspires more and more people to do so Insha Allah.
Jazak Allah Khayr Farzana for your kind words. We tried to do our best though could have done more better.
Masha Allah. May Allah bless your brother's nikkah. Ameen.
Indeed we need ummah to get back to basics of Islam. Thankfully, I get to see simple weddings nowadays. I hope this Sunnah prevails!
Jazak Allah Khayr Haya for your dua.

MATCH REACTION: ANDY MCFADYEN
Picture by Arthurlie FC Matchday Photographer Tim Fenton.
THAT was a hard fought win was manager Andy McFadyen's verdict after they emerged unscathed from a difficult encounter.
Speaking to the club's official social media after the 3-1 victory, he said: "As I have said previously, sometimes you have to 'win ugly' and at the end of the day we have got the three points.
"It wasn't the best game, we were under pressure in the second half, but the boys stuck to their plan and got over the line.
"The recent schedule of three games a week has resulted in us having to change our game plan constantly.
"Sometimes it meant giving players game time on a Saturday, if they have been unable to make midweek games, which upsets the team rhythm.
"One example of this is Gary Smith who was on the bench after scoring seven goals. He needed a rest after the sequence of Saturday/Wednesday games…it's as simple as that.
"We are trying to rotate the squad and use every player who is available and Gary is in contention for another hard game on Wednesday night at Saltcoats.
"There are no easy games in this league and unfortunately we conceded a penalty which gave Irvine Vics something to play for.
"It was then a tight game which could have went either way but we came through it, having done it before and no doubt having to do it again."

To continue our ongoing lessons in morality, people often confuse "must" and "will." Even though both are four letter words, you can tell they are different because none of the letters are the same.

I like how Shaenon drew him. At least he was immediately recognizable and distinguishable from the hamsters.
OK, does dramatic necessity now demand she fails utterly? Or will she succeed by failing so badly it drives her Mad?
(BTW, upon consideration I am now dubious that you can contain a Mad in a VR by restraining it to "normal physics." Mads can make the laws of physics stand up and do tricks with closehangers or, say, paper clips rubber bands and duck tape in the real world, whose rules are much more inherent than those in a computer simulation).

Oh, there are _multiple_ unfired Chekhov's guns lying around. I would just _prefer_ her to rescue herself – I'm just afraid that her little rant there risks putting her into the Damsel in Distress Awaiting Rescue role.
That's possible, though if Madame Delphi is to be believed, then Virginia has to escape on her own, even if she has been given a nudge in the right direction.
What, it's running on a virtual computer running on virtual electricity in a virtual building maintained by virtual janitors?
That could prove to be irrelevant. I remember a thing – I think it may have been an episode of Kim Possible – where a VR game had a glitch whereupon if a player didn't win the game, their mind would be stuck in it. Sort of like Nick's black screen, but without needing to remove their brain from their head first. You could shut the game off, and even remove the VR helmet, but their mind was stuck there, waiting for the game to come back on.
Mind uploading? Dave dealt with that in Narbonic, didn't he?
In the particular situation I was referring to, the mind was still in the human head, but the VR had somehow set the mind in an infinite loop waiting for the game to resume. The mind couldn't come back to reality until the program told it to. And of course if the mind was disconnected from the hardware, it just complicated things even more.
That could be similar to what's going on here. The extirpation VR has a bug in it (or maybe it's a "feature"), so that even if you somehow manage to escape your physical confines, your mind is still trapped. So it really would be eternal.

This person seems weak and marginally competent; the person who has held all this together, can be neither. Either he's not the boss, or the boss wants to seem weak and marginally competent.
What exactly do you think a strong and competent person would do in this scenario, Pygar? Yell at Lee? Kill her? Load up a torture sim?
He may indeed be weak and only marginally competent – particularly in the women department. But he employs highly intelligent scientists to do his bidding… for example, the highly intelligent woman right in front of us. His power over them was the fear of extirpation, the details of which were never fully disclosed, so it remained a horror of unknown severity.
As for his currently "thinking with his thing", men – even smart ones – always tend to do stupid things when they're trying to get the girl.
Surely there were easier times to put her on the cooler than in the apparently critical moments of crippling all potential opposition to the Master Plan. He spent years not shooting Skin Horse out of sheer frustration so he's got a good amount of patience.
"No one gets in and out but me"? My guess: well, Mr. Green's been everyone. Time for someone else to be Mr. Green.
Yes, he exposed a critical flaw right there. The way out is to make the system believe that one is Mr. Green. If only Virginia managed to catch it, and can figure out a way to exploit it, she should be able to easily escape.

Michael Thomas Calveley (born 22 June 1999) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for  club Chorley.

He turned professional at Port Vale in May 2017 and went on to play on loan at Leek Town and Nuneaton Borough. Released in May 2019, he signed for Curzon Ashton four months later. He joined Chorley in July 2020.

Career

Port Vale
Calveley turned professional at Port Vale in May 2017; he signed a one-year contract shortly after receiving the club's Youth Player of the Year award. On 13 September 2017, he joined Northern Premier League Division One South side Leek Town on a one-month loan. Vale manager Michael Brown said that he sanctioned the loan move because of his respect for "Blues" manager Neil Baker. He scored his first senior goal with a 25-yard strike in Town's 4–1 FA Trophy victory over Lincoln United at Harrison Park on 7 October. He was recalled by new "Valiants" manager Neil Aspin to make his senior debut in a 4–2 victory over Crewe Alexandra in an EFL Trophy group stage match at Vale Park on 7 November.

On 19 July 2018, he joined National League North side Nuneaton Borough on loan, along with teammate Dior Angus. He made his debut for "Boro" on the opening day of the 2018–19 season, and went in goal for the last ten minutes of the game after goalkeeper Louis Gray was sent off, managing to keep a clean sheet as his new team recorded a 0–0 draw with Ashton United. On 26 December, he scored his first goal for Nuneaton in a 3–1 defeat at A.F.C. Telford United. On 19 January, he scored both of Nuneaton's goals in their 2–2 draw at Hereford. He was recalled from his loan spell by new Vale manager John Askey in April, having scored four goals in 42 matches for Nuneaton. However he played just two minutes for Vale as a substitute and Askey confirmed that he would not be offering Calveley a new contract on 16 May; meanwhile he was voted as Nuneaton's players' player of the year.

Curzon Ashton
Calveley joined National League North side Curzon Ashton and made his debut for the "Nash" on 28 September 2019, in a 2–1 defeat at Farsley Celtic. He scored three goals in 22 games during the 2019–20 season, which was curtailed early due to the COVID-19 pandemic in England.

Chorley
He was signed by National League North rivals Chorley on 8 July 2020. Manager Jamie Vermiglio said that "he'll bring strength and energy to the midfield and our supporters will no doubt appreciate his work ethic". The "Magpies" enjoyed a deep run in the FA Cup, making it through three rounds of qualification with wins over Gateshead and York City and a bye. In the First Round Proper, they came from two goals down to beat Wigan Athletic 3–2 after extra-time, with Calveley providing the assist for Elliot Newby in Chorley's first goal of the comeback. They beat another League One side away from home in the second round, Peterborough United, and Calveley scored the winning goal on 62 minutes. He also scored in the next round as Chorley beat Championship side Derby County 2–0 at Victory Park. The cup run came to an end in the fourth round with a 1–0 home defeat to Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers. However the 2020–21 season was curtailed early in February due to the pandemic. He agreed a one-year contract extension in October 2021, keeping him at Chorley until summer 2023. He scored three goals across 42 appearances in the 2021–22 campaign, including playing in the play-off quarter-final defeat to York City.

Style of play
Port Vale youth team coach Mick Ede stated that Calveley is "a big midfielder, a destroyer, but when he gets on the ball you know he generally looks for that forward pass and breaks lines".

Ire Over Lack of Charges in Teen Killing in Sanford
Trayvon Martin, 17, was shot and killed by Richard Zimmerman, 28, in Sanford.
By Howard Goodman
Almost three weeks have gone by since a teenager lay dead on a Sanford pathway with nothing more lethal in his pockets than a bag of Skittles — and local authorities have not brought charges against the neighborhood watch leader who shot him.
But in that time the story has gone national, with the boy's parents and advocates planning to rally in the central Florida town on March 26 to demand action, perhaps from the U.S. Justice Department, if charges are not filed by then.
"This is a wake-up call for the state of Florida!" declared televangelist Jamal Bryant of Baltimore. "We are going to shut Florida down until justice weighs down!"
The case is fraught with racial overtones and suspicions that the victim fell prey to racial stereotyping. Trayvon Martin, 17, was black. George Zimmerman, 28, has been widely described in the news media as white — though his family says he is Hispanic. The six-foot-three, 140-pound teen was wearing a hoodie. Zimmerman was carrying a Kel-Tec 9mm handgun.
It is also a test of Florida's "stand your ground" law — one of the toughest self-defense laws in the nation. According to the statute, a person in Florida is justified in using deadly force if he or she "reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony."
Zimmerman, who was bleeding from the nose and back of the head when police found him, says he had followed Martin because he looked "suspicious." When he went to question him, Zimmerman said, the teen jumped him. He maintains he acted in self-defense.
As CBS News reporter Julia Dahl writes, we may never know exactly what happened between the two on the night of Feb. 26. But that may not matter. All that counts is whether Zimmerman "reasonably" believed his life was in danger.
But what is reasonable? Ekow Yankah, an associate professor of criminal law at Cardozo School of Law in New York, says that to some people, it is reasonable to be suspicious of a young black man walking alone in the dark.
"We have to decide what counts as 'reasonable' to be afraid of, and nobody should pretend that that isn't socially and culturally loaded," says Yankah.
Gregory O'Meara, an associate professor of law at Marquette University School of Law, agrees.
"These 'stand your ground' laws license pistol-packing urban cowboys and paranoid people," says O'Meara, who fought the passage of a similar law in Wisconsin. "We've all been trained to be afraid of black men, and if you're afraid enough that justifies everything."
Three neighbors, however, have told the Miami Herald that they heard what they believe to be "the last howl for help from a despondent boy, and believe the sequence of sounds shatters the notion that Trayvon was killed in self-defense."
"This was not self-defense," said one of those neighbors, Mary Cutcher, 31. "We heard no fighting, no wrestling, no punching. We heard a boy crying. As soon as the shot went off, it stopped, which tells me it was the child crying. If it had been Zimmerman crying, it wouldn't have stopped. If you're hurting, you're hurting."
Sanford police promptly disputed Cutcher's statement, saying the witness initially gave an account to police that "was consistent" with Zimmerman's version.
The case is generating wide interest on the Internet. More than 250,000 people have signed a petition on Change.org to "prosecute the killer of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin."
The Orlando Sentinel noted that Sanford has a troubled racial history. Many there are saying that police and prosecutors would have acted faster if the shooter had been black and the victim white.
"By the police being slow-footed to arrest someone, it demonstrates that things are different for the black community," said Vibert White, a history professor at the University of Central Florida. "They have ignited a powder keg by being slow, by being indecisive and by being arrogant by not arresting this man."
Zimmerman's father, meantime, says that "the media portrayal" of his son as a racist is cruel and misleading.
George Zimmerman is Hispanic and grew up in a multi-ethnic household, 64-year-old Robert Zimmerman said in letter he delivered to the Orlando Sentinel.
"He would be the last to discriminate for any reason whatsoever," the letter said.

Pat Cummins, Steve…

Cricket News The Ashes 2021-22

Australia fast bowler Pat Cummins and batter Steve Smith are the likely candidates to take over the reins of Australia Test team ahead of the Ashes, set to begin on December 8. Wicketkeeper-batter Tim Paine stood down from the Test captaincy after his creepy Texts to a female co-worker went viral.
With the first Ashes Test due to begin in 19 days at Gabba in Brisbane, Cricket Australia (CA) have intensified the process of finding the next Test captain for the high-profile series. Cummins is the incumbent vice-captain of the Test team. If the CA appoints him as the leader, he will become the 47th player to lead his country in the red-ball format.
Cummins will also be the first pacer in 65 years to captain Australia. Ever since his comeback to the team in 2017, the 28-year-old has shattered several records. His accuracy, speed, control, and handy batting abilities make him a complete package.
On the other hand, Smith comes with a plethora of experience under his belt when it comes to leadership. He was the leader of the team before the sandpaper controversy back in 2018. Considering the current scenario and controversy which erupted following Paine's exit, Australia might consider Smith for the leadership role.
Other candidates like Travis Head, Marnus Labuschagne are also in line to become the next Test captain.

I'm Sara and I live in Alice Springs, Australia. There isn't much to do in this town so when I was growing up, I used to spend my days looking through the fashion magazines my older sister would leave around the house. My older sister was a really good dresser and she taught me lots of cool style advice which meant I looked great when I went out with my friends. Even though I am now a grown-up, I still follow fashion and I have been getting some top tips from a fashion designer I met on a trip to Sydney. If you are interested in fashion, please check out the articles on my blog.

If you're looking for a new BIA Assessor job role you may need to refresh your CV to ensure that you're highlighting the key attributes that hiring managers are looking for.
Here, we provide some guidance as to how you can tweak your CV to improve your chances of being called for an interview.
If you're working within a BIA role, you'll be aware that not only will you need to have a dedicated BIA Assessor qualification, but this must be refreshed annually to update your skills and knowledge with the latest legislation.
Use your CV to highlight your most recent training dates and explain what new skills you have learnt and how you have put this training into practice. This is a good technique whatever job in the social work sphere you're looking for, from service manager jobs to child protection jobs.
If specific key skills and requirements are mentioned within the job description (such as an in-depth knowledge of the MCA/DoLS), then make sure that your CV highlights those elements.
For BIA assessors, you may wish to demonstrate your reporting and assessment skills as well as softer skills such as time management or organisational ability.
Whilst you may have a 'master' document to work from, we recommend taking the time to edit and review your final CV before submission to ensure that it fully meets the specified job role.
Your CV should tell a story about your experience and your career path. Use bullet points and subheadings to list your employment history, taking the time to include details about your employer's name, your previous job role and the dates of employment.
Under each heading, highlight the key details of each role whilst taking the time to think about how this lead back to the specified job advert.
The biggest challenge for most people is the balance between keeping your CV short enough whilst still providing enough detail relating to your relevant experience.
As a rough guide, two or three sides of A4 should suffice – as you can imagine, hiring managers read hundreds of CV's every day and will not have time to read long blocks of text. Therefore, we recommend using bullet points or short sentences under key headings to make your points clear.
You may also wish to ask a friend or family member to proof read through your final CV before submission to check for any unexpected typo's or to spot any duplicated points.
Whilst you must refrain from including personal information such as date of birth or nationality onto your CV, it is helpful for hiring managers to know that you are fully registered with the HCPC (or relevant professional body) and whether you have a valid driving licence (or independent means of travel).
If you would like further advice on how to tailor your CV to help you win your ideal BIA Assessor job role, then why not give one of our trained consultants a call? They will be happy to answer any questions and explain how you can make the most of your CV.

Q: Uninstall program by terminal How can I uninstall any program using terminal.
 For example, how can I uninstall TeamViewer 7 wich is stored in my home folder. I can not see TeamViewer in ubuntu softvare center, so I can not uninstall it that way.

A: Simple googling might have helped, anyway here is how you can uninstall any package from terminal:
apt-get --purge remove <package>

You should never remove files by hand use dpkg --purge <package> if you have already removed it with apt plus the files by hand and it thinks it is still configured this should get rid of it.

2005 Legendary Team – Scottsdale Team of 1973
The captain-coach of Scottsdale's 1973 team, Bob Wilson, said:
"The 1973 premiership season was a tremendous achievement for Scottsdale and the north-east football community. The ability of club president Gordon Dilworth to mobilise the community behind the team's finals campaign ensured that we were able to fly by aeroplane to games at North Hobart and West Park. Scottsdale Football Club was an innovator ahead of its time and this ensured that the club was able to win the state final for the first time and represent Tasmania at the National Club Championship against the likes of Subiaco, Glenelg and Richmond. Quite a feat for a town of 3,000 people!"
> Following their victory in the state final, Scottsdale represented Tasmania in the National Club Championship of 1973 conducted in Adelaide. Scottsdale played against Glenelg and Subiaco, losing to the latter by 30 points. Richmond, the VFL premier, won the Championship final by 13 points over Subiaco. Scottsdale's involvement in the competition is meritorious as the town itself had a population of around 3,000 people at the time.
> Scottsdale won their only Tasmanian state premiership after defeating Hobart in the preliminary final at North Hobart Oval and then Cooee in the final at West Park. The fact that Scottsdale won two away games to secure the premiership is meritorious. Also, Scottsdale showed great innovation during the season by transporting the team by plane to both finals. This was a response to the challenge presented by significant travel distances and the previous poor results by Scottsdale in the state final series of games (having lost the 1964, 1965, 1968, 1970 and 1971 series after winning the NTFA premiership).
> A highlight of Scottsdale's state final victory was their comeback from 32 points down at three-quarter time to win by 11 points. This is the greatest last quarter comeback in the history of Tasmanian state premierships.
> The team that Scottsdale defeated, Cooee, was full of high quality players and included seven players who had/would play VFL senior football. These included Cooee captain-coach Vern Drake, Hugh Strahan, Peter Pettigrew, Graeme Shepherd, Stephen Beaumont, Greg Towns and Athol Hodgetts. A further two players, Darryl Shepherd and Tom Lee, also played for Tasmania. The Cooee team had to defeat Latrobe, winners of the previous four premierships, to annex the NWFU premiership.
> Scottsdale won the NTFA premiership after defeating North Launceston in the second semi final and a brutal grand final and being undefeated throughout the 20 game roster. They played one draw. The NTFA finals series were played at York Park, the home ground of North Launceston.
> The Scottsdale team included nine players who had/would represent Tasmania, including: Max Hadley, Ricky Rattray, Rodney Hughes, Jim Leitch, Stephen Nicholls, Greg Lethborg, Danny Hall, Ron Hall and captain-coach Bob Wilson.
> Other players that represented Scottsdale in the finals series were: Billy Burns, Ken Hall, Graeme Millwood, Malcolm Crichton, John Williams, Sonny Gillies, Leon Ranson and Terry Taylor.
Other achievements of the team:
> All Australian: Jim Leitch.
> Past or future VFL players: Kevin Egan, Jim Leitch, Rodney Hughes, Tad Joniec and Bob Wilson.
> Hec Smith Medallists: Max Hadley, Ricky Rattray and Stephen Nicholls.
> Leading NTFA goalkicker: Max Hadley.
> NTFA games record holders: Ken Lette and Greg Lethborg.
> Multiple club premiership players: Stephen Nichols (8), Ken Lette (7) and Greg Lethborg (7).

Note – English law has recognized "small claims" jurisdiction for at least five centuries. As the court discussed, "The small claims court system has been refined over hundreds of years with recurring attention from the courts, legal commentators, and the Legislature." It's not like California invented small claims court.
Continued the court, "Section 116.780(c) reflects a legislative determination that a small claims appeal should require no more than minimal attorney time. The small claims appeal procedure was intended to be integral to the legislative scheme for expeditious and cost-effective resolution of small claims.
In 1927, Prof. William Holdsworth delivered four lectures on legal history to American audiences, which lectures were collected in Some Lessons from Our Legal History (The Macmillan Company 1928). Holdsworth, a law professor at Oxford, held "the oldest University Chair in English law in the world," a chair first held by William Blackstone in 1758.
Read his remarkable analysis of Lord Mansfield's 1772 decision in Sommersett's Case.
"As the history of the writ of Habeas Corpus shows, Parliament and the common lawyers were careful to guard the principle of the thirty-ninth clause of the Great Charter, that a man could not be imprisoned except by due process of law. That in effect meant that any restraint of liberty must be proved to be legally justified, and that all restraints which could not be thus justified, were illegal.
"That this principle so stated, and safeguarded by the writ of Habeas Corpus, was a better protection to liberty than any number of abstract declarations of right, can be seen by the famous Sommersett's Case in which the idea that the status of slavery was recognized by English law was finally given its quietus.
"The fact that Lord Mansfield refused to follow the commonly received view of the merchants, and was induced to give a decision opposed to that view, after hearing an argument based mainly on the mediaeval law as to villeinage, probably surprised many of his contemporaries as much as an opposite decision would have surprised us.
"But I think the decision was largely due to maintenance of the view, that any interference with liberty must be justified by law. There was legal warrant for recognizing the status of a villein: there was none for recognizing the status of a slave.
That's right – in 1772, Lord Mansfield declared that slavery was not recognized by English law. Even more, the case came up on a writ of Habeas Corpus.
From Wikipedia: "Mansfield is best known for his judgment in Somersett's Case on the legality of keeping slaves in England. The English had been involved in the slave trade since 1553, and by 1768, ships registered in Liverpool, Bristol and London carried more than half the slaves shipped in the world.
"James Somersett was a slave owned by Charles Stewart, an American customs officer who sailed to Britain for business, landing on 10 November 1769. A few days later Somersett attempted to escape. He was recaptured [ ] and imprisoned on the ship Ann and Mary, owned by Captain John Knowles and bound for the British colony of Jamaica. Stewart intended to sell him there.
Roscoe Pound, dean of Harvard Law School, was an influential legal scholar with a large body of writings. Some say he later contradicted himself; perhaps, but his earlier writings offer deep insight into the American legal system.
"In rural, pioneer, agricultural America of the forepart of the last century, there was no occasion to limit the contracts a labourer could make as to taking his pay in goods. To have done so would have been arbitrary.
Prof. Andrew McClurg is the author of an excellent guide to the first year of law school. Below are short excerpts relating to mental health issues that can affect law students.
"Cognitive distortion" is a psychological term used to describe a condition that occurs when a person internalizes neutral or mildly negative external stimuli as signs of severe personal failure. Law school establishes optimal conditions for this to occur.
Everything a student does is judged and it never seems good enough. Every word uttered in law school classes is critically scrutinized. Professors often critique student classroom comments even when they wholeheartedly agree with them. It's the nature of the Socratic beast. Some students shrug it off, but many take it personally and let it diminish their self-image.
Law students also suffer disproportionately higher rates of depression than the general population and other graduate students. On depression scales, 17-40 percent of law students in the second University of Arizona study mentioned above were found to suffer from much higher rates than exist among the general population.
A 2000 study of University of Michigan law students found that more than half of law students showed symptoms suggestive of clinical depression by the end of their first year and that these high levels remained throughout their law school careers.
Comparing the law students' scores on the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale to scores for other groups subject to extreme stress yielded somewhat startling results.
● 50-70 percent for homeless people.
This isn't to suggest, of course, that being a law student is as bad as the listed traumatic events, but law school can strongly push the brain's depression buttons.
As with anxiety, the gloominess pattern continues after graduation. A Johns Hopkins University study found that lawyers ranked fifth in the overall prevalence of depression out of 105 occupations. When the data were adjusted to focus on the association between depression and the particular occupation by taking into account non-occupational factors contributing to depression, lawyers moved into first place.
The study of Arizona and Washington lawyers mentioned above found that 21 percent of male lawyers and 16 percent of female lawyers exceeded the clinical cut-off measure for depression, significantly higher than depression rates found in the general population.

Vibrant and strong, unique and growing, the Jewish community in Mexico is truly a window into Judaism's complex history and its future. And the window into understanding this community is on its plates, especially in the booming dining scene of Mexico City.
Numbering about 50,000, the Mexican Jewish community resides mostly in Mexico City, with a few smaller populations in Guadalajara and other locales. Mexico welcomed Jewish refugees from Eastern Europe during the major waves of immigration of the late-19th and early-20th centuries. Plus, the country also welcomed Sephardic populations in higher relative numbers than in the US, given cultural similarities. And this gives the community significant flavor.
While here in the States, "Jewish food" overwhelmingly connotes hearty Ashkenazi staples, there's no such conception in Mexico. Jewish food is what grandma made, whether borscht and kugel or stuffed grape leaves and lentils. But just as Jewish food the world over also means influence of adopted homelands, chicken soup with chili would never be out of the ordinary in Mexican bowls. Just don't put sour cream on that brisket taco.
A small community, the Jews of Mexico City are tightknit and somewhat less assimilated than American Jews. And food is as tightly wrapped into their history and culture in Mexico as husks are around tamales.
As important as food is inside the home, there are a few select spots around this city of 25 million that do cater to the culinary tastes. These restaurants are, naturally, clustered in neighborhoods where the Jewish population resides. One of these area is Polanco, a tree-lined district of streets named for famous thinkers and academics, and with a main boulevard dotted with designer shops and a dazzling array of dining options.
I was able to take a walking tour of four of the most significant restaurants for Mexico City Jews thanks to Jaime Edid, a community member and a culinary student at Le Cordon Bleu.
Our first visit is to Klein's, perhaps because it was what would hit most closely to home for me. It is Jewish deli-style food imagined, but in the heart of Mexico City. Kibitzing couples sit at Formica tables seemingly sourced directly from the Upper West Side, vinyl-upholstered banquettes line the walls under mirrors that brighten the space. Under fluorescent lights, diners nosh on a huge, diner-style menu of options. Sandwiches (corned beef, pastrami, turkey) can come on white bread or bagels, and are served with potato salad. The sandwich meats can actually be served kosher style, or decidedly not. Tacos, tortas and enchiladas cozily share space next to spreads of lox. The restaurant is what happens when Seinfeld goes south. While it isn't kosher, its ability to incorporate deli-style options into Mexican fare is a key to the Jewish Mexico City experience.
Next up is Gaucho Grill. One of the first kosher restaurants to land in Polanco, it's been a favorite since its founding. Its handsome, bistro-style atmosphere would be right at home in Brooklyn (exposed-brick walls, loft-like ceiling, iron beams), but the menu is decidedly farther south. It's an Argentine grill and, according to the owner, "brings the Argentine pampa to the city, putting together plates with Mediterranean, Jewish and Mexico origin to create a unique mixture." The menu is very meat-heavy, with huge cuts of steak (rib eye, filet minion) and grilled seafood. But to start, there's also kibbeh, hummus, a series of empanadas and, yes, even matzah ball soup. Upstairs, there's a sushi bar and downstairs, a cellar with the finest selection of kosher wines. It's most certainly a fine-dining establishment, catering to the kosher population looking for a nice night out.
Around the corner is Sammy's Grill, the other kosher restaurant on our jaunt. Also very meat-centric, it's a bit more relaxed and dressed-down than Gaucho. The manager greeted us warmly, proudly stating that his restaurant was one of the most popular kosher establishments, welcoming guests the world over who come to Mexico City. To his credit, in fact, the menu was much broader, encompassing not only ribs and steak, but a distinctly Sephardic influence as well. Meals could start with tabbouleh salad, for example, have hummus on the side, feature shawarma tacos and end with Turkish coffee. But, yes, they serve matzah ball soup, too—can't seem to get away from that one. Sammy's is cozy, with lots of shady outdoor seating and just the right blending of the breadth of Jewish culture with Mexican mainstays.
The last stop took us to Adonis. Why Adonis, I wondered. Not a kosher restaurant, and certainly not a deli, Adonis whisks diners directly to the Levant. Gorgeously adorned with brilliant colors to accent whitewashed walls, arches curve along the walls and a stuffed jaguar (presumably fake) screams out of the ceiling. It's a vibrant call to Middle Eastern culture, and where my tour guide loves to spend many a late evening with friends and family. "It reminds me of my grandma's cooking like no other place in the city," he says with a nostalgic smile. It's nominally Lebanese, where many Mexican Jews can draw their roots from, including Edid. Instead of tortillas, pitas are served with meals here, alongside shawarma, "Arab tacos," gyros and more. Dishes also come with salsas—including hummus, tabbouleh, guacamole and pico de gallo. Edid's favorite dish, in fact, is simple and straightforward: kibbeh with guac. "It hits everything I want in a homey dish," he says.
Intriguingly, Adonis also has a shop next door. Not only does it sell labneh and pita, but there's also an in-house bakery: a kosher bakery. All of the honey-sweetened, homemade baked goods are certified kosher.
"There is always, for me at least, a sense of pride when you see your background represented in a country where you are a clear minority, so having these establishments in Mexico City is amazing," concludes my guide, as we polish off some kosher baklava as the scent of grilled meats and fresh-pressed tortillas waft through the air. It's an experience at once Jewish and Mexican, and decidedly perfect.

The breeze blew as I took a swig on my second glass of beer. There I sat on the sky deck, the ultimate picture of relaxation. I was at the Sunset Lounge, enjoying my view of the city. In front of me, the calm water flanked by skyscrapers, framing it as if it was the only thing I needed to see—and when the sun began to set, I realized.. it indeed was.
The Sunset Lounge is Pan Pacific Manila's newest concept: an alfresco bar and restaurant offering a glorious view of the cityscape and the Manila Bay. Located at the 7th floor of the hotel, this cozy spot provides guests a quiet hideaway a few floors up from the bustle of the capital. Guests would be delighted how easy it is to disappear from the busy street below and get transported into a place they never thought was there.
Boasting of plush seating composed of spacious lounge chairs, comfortable couches and high stools around cocktail tables, the Sunset Lounge exudes a relaxing atmosphere perfect for de-stressing after a particularly long day at work; a romantic yet casual date; enjoying privacy with only a beer and a spectacular sight for company; or a slow sundown with friends. The great thing about it is that this area is not exclusive for checked-in guests—walk-ins can enjoy the Sunset Lounge from 5:30PM-9:00PM, indulge in its special menu of pica-picas, beers, and cocktails, and even opt to use the pool and the gym for an extra minimal fee (PhP250).
Stepping out from the hotel interiors and into the Sunset Lounge feels like walking into an island resort. The Manila Bay sits on the horizon, the sky glowing with the colors of sunset. A picturesque fountain greets guests, instantly giving off a cool vibe amidst the warmth. The swimming pool is nearby on the lower deck, completing the resort feel.
The food menu is simple and straightforward, a perfect match for the easy ambience. For instance, there are Pork Sisig Tacos (PhP350 for 2)—a fusion of American and Pinoy favorites. Pork mascara takes the place of ground beef, resulting in a sweetish, creamy flavor. Shredded lettuce, chopped onions, chopped tomatoes and grated cheese complete these American-style small bites.
I loved the Reuben Quesadillas (PhP350 for 2): lightly toasted tortilla filled with beef, veggies, sour cream, and melted cheese. Each piece is small yet filling—I loved this even more with their delicious blue cheese dip!
A delicious chicken combo awaits diners with the Buffalo Wings and Chicken Drumlets (PhP350 for 2). The breaded chicken drumlets are well-cooked and tender, the breading light and flavorful; the wings, although a bit "skinny" for me, were tasty.
The Pacific Chicken Nachos (PhP380 for 2) were addicting—tortilla chips laden with sliced chicken, jalapeno, and cheese. Lovers of spicy food would enjoy dipping each one into Sunset Lounge's spicy salsa! The heat is mind-blowing, perfect with some cold beer within reach!
The Sunset Lounge does a playful take on the panizza with their two unique flavors: Adobo and Baby Back Ribs (both at PhP480 for 2). What is perhaps the national viand takes center stage in the former, with slices of soy chicken and pork mingling with kesong puti and goat's cheese, giving adobo—and panizza—a whole new dimension. The Baby Back Ribs, on the other hand, had a smoky flavor enhanced by sharp Edam, mozzarella, and corn kernels. Indeed these were two of the more curious panizzas I've tasted.
Two types of rolls are in the menu: Crispy Spring Rolls (PhP350 for 2) for the vegetarian, and Bangus Spring Rolls (PhP350 for 2) for those who would prefer fish. Dip them into some spicy vinegar or sweet chili—it's up to you.
Local beers and a few imported ones are available—with San Miguel priced at PhP90, a reasonable tag for a hotel, if you ask me. Imported brands like Corona and Heineken are sold at PhP150 apiece, priced like the upscale bars in Makati and BGC. The beer selection can be further improved by adding more products like Stella, Blue Moon, and maybe "the local Hoegaarden"—Brew Kettle!
Service at the Sunset Lounge is casual but still very attentive and professional—maintaining the standard that Pan Pacific is known for: being the finest butler hotel in Manila. I liked how sophisticated the servers were despite staying casual and friendly.
I'm a fan of booze and good food—this doesn't need proof—and I like savoring my leisure time. At the Sunset Lounge, it's so easy to lose track of time with all the flavors, chatter, drinks and sights floating about. A few hours felt like a vacation. There were absolutely no distractions—just an awesome ambience, a refined playlist I really liked (they play Rumba tunes, OMG)—and you have no choice but to enjoy, alone or accompanied. I saw myself going back here repeatedly. In fact, I'm already planning my next visit.
Arrive early to catch not just the sunset but also their Happy Sunset promos: Pika Pika Express: 2 servings of special snacks of the day (PhP250); Pika Pika Express + 2 beers (PhP350); and Pika Pika Express + 6 beers (PhP550).

LONDON — Fashion designer Vivienne Westwood rolled through David Cameron's Witney constituency on a great big white tank Friday in a protest against fracking.

The tank, with the 74-year-old Westwood sat on top, arrived outside the prime minister's home. He managed to miss the whole event as he was away in Leeds (having an awkward mic slip moment).

The tank had banners for Talkfracking.org on the side.
Westwood has been a vocal opponent of fracking, which is a process of fracturing rocks to extract gas. She has claimed the UK government is experimenting on the British people "like guinea pigs."

To support AMP pages over HTTPS using a CNAME, a reverse proxy must be set up.
To configure a reverse proxy and HTTP cache using Nginx web server, the following steps must be performed.
The following is an example of the Nginx default server block file containing the additional syntax required. The syntax for the reverse proxy and cache configuration is in red.
In the example below, the placeholder < DNS > is used. The correct DNS entry will be provided by the Customer Success team.
Replace the placeholder with the correct DNS entry.
It is important that proxy_cache_path and proxy_temp_path are kept outside of the server block.
After the changes are made to the Nginx server block file, run the Nginx configuration test to ensure syntax is ok.
Restart the Nginx web server to put the changes into place.

STAMFORD, Connecticut — JBL announced that it has renewed its partnership with a multi-year deal with the NBA.
In addition to welcoming back three-time NBA Champion and two-time MVP, Stephen Curry, two-time NBA All Star Andre Drummond and Kristaps Porzingis, JBL is also adding fan favorite Giannis Antetokounmpo who will be joining JBL's thriving ambassador program.

that's a nice looking seat! looks like a sargent?
Has he recovered a sargeant seat if so was it just a recover?
I asked him to carry out any foam repairs that might need doing whilst he was doing (I think he has done so at the bum/back rest) but I was glad he also saved the little Sargent flag thing as I forgot to mention it.
Top job he has done (as always) but if you are thinking of sending anything to him then ring him (but he doesn't always immediately answer the phone if he is busy so keep trying).
Mines not to bad but recovering it would be good,everything I read said these couldn't be done.
The Sargent is a conventional seat so cant understand who would say they cannot be re-covered or modified.
I had my Sargent seat modified as I was continually slipping forward. They managed to reuse the original cover, but the guy who sorted it out for me said that a new cover would be possible. For what it's worth, the difference when he had finished was amazing. I had the front raised a little and the back scooped a hair so now I stay planted and it's way, way more comfortable.
Warm day so I had a go at my brakes,I've been getting a clunking sound.
they where absolutely filthy,now I think about it so was my bike when I returned from Spain with all the storms and rubbish on the road.
first I used white spirit,then brake cleaner followed by soapy water and finally a good rinse.
mostly it was elbow grease and 3 old tooth brushes.
I wasn't sure how far I could pump the pistons out so I think they probably need stripping to be on the safe side.
i was able to push the pistons back with just my fingers after cleaning that's good right?
however there where lots of what looked like plier marks on the pistons,will that damage seals?
this time I didn't coppaslip the pads I am going to try them bare,I put less than usual on the other bits.
i really struggled with the small pad bolts ny fingers just don't grip.
my torque wrench only goes up to 25 so I cleaned the bolts put on loctite tightened to 25 then added some FT.
rinsed the bike down ran it for an hour then turned of the fuel till she ran dry,ACF50 then back in the garage leaving the cover off to make sure she's properly dry.i also left the pistons in as I've always done over winter.
i really liked working using my outdoor bench and having the tools organised was both easier and very satisfying.
my new Knipex ex BT pliers where excellent as was the 1/4 drive sockets [much easier on my hands].
it took me ages but it was enjoyable [ish].
1) first I used white spirit,then brake cleaner followed by soapy water and finally a good rinse.
2) I wasn't sure how far I could pump the pistons out so I think they probably need stripping to be on the safe side.
3) i was able to push the pistons back with just my fingers after cleaning that's good right?
4) however there where lots of what looked like plier marks on the pistons,will that damage seals?
5) this time I didn't coppaslip the pads I am going to try them bare,I put less than usual on the other bits.
6) my torque wrench only goes up to 25 so I cleaned the bolts put on loctite tightened to 25 then added some FT.
4) There should be no marks on the pistons as the correct way to remove them is to grip them internally (albeit you need piston removing tools to do so).
Such damage could damage your seals if they reach them when fully back or can take road shite in with them - anyone know off hand how deep the first seal recess is?
6) I am hoping you didnt use your Torque Wrench to add some FT?
Has the clicking gone away when you rock the wheel to and fro?
1,it's in a can it evaporates far to quick,its for chains as well for which kerosene is deffo better.
4,I wouldn't have used them in that condition it goes against everything I was taught with brakes.
5,just to see how it goes EBC say bare.
6, no never,I don't use a ratchet as a breaker bar either again that's not how I was taught.
7,after watching Ally with a TW I was inspired to torque everything I've just ordered the next size up to do it right.
8,thank you for your input.

Patterns of fish utilisation in a tropical IndoPacific mangrove-coral seascape, New Caledonia
Dubuc, Alexia, Waltham, Nathan J., Baker, Ronald, Marchand, Cyril, and Sheaves, Marcus (2019) Patterns of fish utilisation in a tropical IndoPacific mangrove-coral seascape, New Caledonia. PLoS ONE, 14 (4). e0207168.
View at Publisher Website: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.020...
Mangrove forests are important habitats for fish. However, their utilisation by fish, and the specific values they confer, are still not fully understood. This study describes how fish use mangrove forests in an Indo-Pacific mangrove-coral reef seascape. Sampling was conducted using underwater video cameras (UVCs) to describe spatial and temporal variations in fish assemblages across a small-scale (~ 2.5 km2) system, and over the tidal and lunar cycle. UVCs were deployed in the two main component habitats of mangrove forests: at the mangrove forest edge, and inside the forest (5 m from the forest edge), to establish patterns of utilisation of fish across the tidal and lunar cycle. Proximity to coral reefs had a strong influence on the mangrove fish community, as most fish recorded were reef-associated. Juveniles of 12 reef species were observed, including two species classified as vulnerable on the IUCN list, and one endemic species. Fish assemblages on the mangrove edge differed significantly from those inside the forest. Most fish utilised the forest edge, with few species making regular use of in-forest habitats, supporting the contention that most fish species remain on the edge and potentially retreat into the forest for opportunistic feeding, or when threatened by larger predators. Species-specific patterns of utilisation varied across the tidal and lunar cycle. Small differences in depth profiles and substrate across the small-scale system had a significant effect on fish assemblages, highlighting the importance of accounting for spatial heterogeneity in these factors. These data provide important information for managers to implement adequate conservation strategies that include broader interconnected habitat mosaics.

Q: Installation of GoodData.CN into AWS EKS I'm working on Installation GoodData.CN into our AWS EKS and I would be happy if you could help me with the installation process.
We have two separate AWS environments: a Dev/Test-stage and a Production stage. And we are using Redshift as a datasource as well, so it's necessary for us to have the possibility to work with it during development. However, I'm not able to use Enterprise License Key for Dev/Tests stage environment.
How can I install DEV/Test version (or a Community version) to AWS Kubernetes cluster?
Could you please give me an advice, how to install GoodData.CN as a Dev/Test version?
Is it possible to obtain a DEV/Test Licence Key for a Cloud-Native installation?

A: GoodData provides 3 various production ready editions - Free, Growth, Enterprise. In case of Free, you can get the license key upon registration of company email. There is no limitation on number of workspaces or registrations you can make.
For Growth and Enterprise this is handled individually. We can split the amount of workspaces you require between license keys you need.

What Is Going on With Andrew Yang's Candidacy?
The 2020 longshot's universal basic income proposal has drawn support from the far-right, but is it real or a troll?
A few minutes before announcing that he crossed the 65,000 unique donation threshold necessary to qualify for the first two Democratic debates, 2020 longshot candidate Andrew Yang tweeted that he thought Nicolas Cage may have sent some money his way. Late last week, I confirmed with Cage's manager that Cage does indeed support Yang's bid for the Oval Office. In the days since I tweeted the news, I've been flooded with notifications from members of the #YangGang, an inscrutable online contingent of supporters who love Yang's keystone promise to give every American adult $1,000 per month. It remains unclear whether the #YangGang's meme-heavy campaign to put Yang front and center in the Democratic primary race is sincere or an elaborate troll.
It's also lewd and slightly NSFW.
Other Yang hype videos aren slightly less abrasive. Consistent themes are anime, securing the "bag" (money) and various representations of Pepe the Frog, an alt-right hate symbol popularized by far-right supporters of President Trump's 2016 campaign.
Nevertheless, Yang maintains online momentum, and doesn't seem to have any problem courting support from conservatives. On Wednesday, he accepted an invitation to go on the air with conservative millennial thought leader Ben Shapiro to discuss his opposition to circumcision, a position Yang told the Daily Beast earlier this week would make it into policy if he were to be elected. Granting an interview so that he could publicly come out against circumcision was viewed by many as another way Yang has catered to some of the more unconventional corners of the Internet.
.@benshapiro would be happy to have a convo – my team will follow up.
Curious observers of Yang's ascent into relevancy have been perplexed by the intentions of Yang's supporters. Are they political nihilists who just want to get $1,000 a month? Are they right-wing trolls trying to introduce chaos into the Democratic primary? Are they technologists who believe a universal basic income is the only way to prevent the rise of automation and artificial intelligence from casting a significant portion of America's population into poverty?
In reality, the answer is probably all three, and then some. The bigger question is whether the various factions of Yang's supporters are passionate enough to log off for long enough to drive to their polling places and vote for him.


We are looking for kitty friendly folks who might be willing to share a spare bedroom, bathroom, laundry room, office, etc. with a kitty / kittens in need of a safe place to prepare for adoption. Every foster family helps us to make a tremendous difference in the number of cats we save each year. There is no cost to you but a commitment of time and attention. Fostering is flexible enough for most lifestyles. We will match the kitties to each foster home's needs and wants. By offering your time, energy and home to a cat in need, you prepare the animal for adoption into a permanent home as well as help prevent overcrowding in our shelter which is at records levels in Maricopa County.
Have a dedicated space to place foster cat(s) away from your household pets for at least 14 days (required quarantine). Refresh food and water daily Clean Litter Box Give antibiotics, if necessary (most often for a kitty cold) If you have a cat, this might seem incredibly familiar. The only difference is that we provide the food, litter and cover the medical expenses.
Am I eligible to foster??
If you are interested in fostering, you will need to complete a foster application. Fostering also requires a home visit / interview to determine a proper fit and criteria. We recognize that becoming a foster family is a commitment. We work with each family to determine how often and how many kitties they wish to help at one time.
We coordinate to ensure that animals are cared for and / or relocated when a foster is out of town or needs a temporary break from fostering (having company in, surgery, etc.). The average time a cat or litter of kittens is with a foster family is between two - six weeks. The time line is based on whether the animal has been vaccinated, altered, is healthy (not having a kitty cold), socially ready for adoption and availability at our adoption center.
This is a great opportunity for empty nesters, retired couples or someone who isn't sure they are ready to adopt but would like to help in the meantime. Please consider getting involved. We cannot help cats when we don't have foster families available. It is that simple.

Importation, Manufacture, Distribution and Storage of Explosive Materials
Home >> Other Federal Crimes >> Importation, Manufacture, Distribution and Storage of Explosive Materials
Federal Defense Lawyers Explain Crimes Related to Explosives
The importation, manufacture, distribution, and storage of explosive materials are all tightly controlled activities because of the dangers that explosives can present to the American public.
There are strict federal rules regarding explosive materials, and if you violate any of those rules and regulations, you could be looking at federal criminal charges.
Federal charges are much more serious in many cases than state charges because the federal government has more investigative resources to devote to prosecuting you and because penalties for conviction tend to be harsher. You need to understand your rights when faced with federal charges, determine what a prosecutor would need to prove to convict you, and respond assertively and appropriately when you have been charged.
LV Criminal Defense can help. Our federal criminal defense attorneys have extensive experience representing defendants in Arizona, Utah, Oregon, Nevada, and California who have been charged with federal crimes related to the important, manufacture, distribution, or storage of explosive materials. We know the ins-and-outs of federal laws and we can put our extensive legal knowledge to work for you as we defend you in court or negotiate a plea agreement that lessens the serious penalties you could face.
If you are accused of a federal offense involving explosives, you should reach out to our compassionate and knowledgeable legal team for help responding to charges and fighting for your future. Give us a call today to find out about the ways in which our firm can help you.
Federal Laws On the Importation, Manufacture, Distribution and Storage of Explosive Materials
Federal laws that define criminal conduct related to the importation, manufacture, distribution, or storage of explosive materials are found in 18 U.S. Code Chapter 40. There are eight different statutes in Title 18 Chapter 40 that address criminal conduct related to actions you can take with explosive materials. Collectively, these statutes establish the definitions applicable throughout Chapter 40, define what types of acts are unlawful, establish penalties, and set forth exceptions. The statutes include
18 U.S. Code section 841: Definitions
18 U.S. Code section 842: Unlawful acts
18 U.S. Code section 843: Licenses and user permits
18 U.S. Code section 844: Penalties
18 U.S. Code section 845: Exceptions; relief from disabilities
18 U.S. Code section 846: Additional powers of the Attorney General
18 U.S. Code section 847: Rules and regulations
18 U.S. Code section 848: Effect on State law
The statutes within this chapter specify specific types of conduct that could potentially result in federal criminal charges. For example, 18 U.S. Code section 842 explains specific types of unlawful acts in connection with the manufacture, distribution, and storage of explosive material.
According to the relevant statute, it is unlawful to:
Be engaged in a business that involves the import, manufacture, or dealing of explosive materials unless that individual has received a license in accordance with requirements set forth within 18 U.S. Code Chapter 40.
Knowingly withhold information or make any false statements, either written or oral, for purposes of obtaining explosive materials or for purposes of obtaining a license to sell explosive materials.
Knowingly provide or show false, fictitious, or misrepresented identification that is intended to deceive or that is likely to deceive for the purposes of obtaining explosive materials or for the purpose of obtaining a license or permit to become involved with explosive materials.
Knowingly transport explosive materials, cause explosive materials to be exported, or receive explosive materials without having a license or permit.
Knowingly distribute explosive materials to anyone who does not have a license or a permit.
Transport explosive materials, ship explosive materials, cause explosive materials to be transported, or receive explosive materials in interstate commerce with only a limited permit that does not permit such transport to take place.
Receive explosive materials from a licensee or permit holder whose premises is located outside of the permit holder's state of residence when the permit holder isn't permitted to move explosives from one state to another.
Receive explosive materials on more than six separate occasions from one or more licensees or permit holders without lawful authority to do so.
Distribute explosive materials as a licensee or a permit holder to anyone other than a licensee, permit holder, or holder of a limited permit.
Distribute explosive materials as a licensee or permit holder to any person who the licensee or permit holder has reason to believe will transport the materials into a state where they are prohibited.
Distribute explosive materials to anyone under the age of 21; to anyone convicted of a crime punishable by more than a year of imprisonment; to anyone under indictment for a crime punishable by more than a year of imprisonment; to an unlawful user of controlled substances; to a fugitive from justice; to an unlawful alien or undocumented immigrant; or to someone adjudicated as a mental defective.
These are just some of the many unlawful acts that a defendant can be charged for committing. A federal defense attorney can explain other specific types of criminal conduct made illegal under Chapter 40, as well as the penalties for misconduct.
Federal criminal lawyers at LV Criminal Defense can provide the help and support you need to respond to accusations of importation, manufacture, distribution, or storage of explosive materials. We have a long track record of representing clients in California, Arizona, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, or surrounding areas and we understand the ins-and-outs of how federal prosecutors handle cases. We can put our extensive knowledge of the federal penal code to work to help you fight accusations that you engaged in prohibited behavior with explosives.
Your future is at stake when you've been accused of violating any of the provisions of 18 U.S. Code Chapter 40, but we will stand up for you throughout your involvement with the criminal justice system to reduce the chances of a guilty verdict or to help you lessen penalties through the effective negotiation of a favorable plea agreement. To find out more about how our firm can help you, give us a call today.


Elizabeth Neels' paintings have a palpable immediacy that suggests that composition is continually in flux. Her abstract gestures evoke the body, natural geometries, and man-made signs and symbols like Rorschach blots and linguistic codes. She emphasizes the importance of touch and pressure using printmaking rollers to create stuttering repetitions and mathematical patterns. By folding her canvases she creates figural shapes that reference both the bilateral symmetries found in nature as well as the aesthetic legacy of Modern psychology and psychoanalysis.
Elizabeth Neel's paintings rely on a controlled chaos that conflates a palimpsest-like understanding of imagery with a masterful facility for gestural mark making and layered abstraction. Incorporating organic and mechanistic references, Neel creates a hybrid iconography that tacks between mediums and moods. Resistant to facile representation, empirical observation and still life conventions mix with appropriated imagery, everyday objects, and abstraction in presenting a serial yet disjunctive ambience that is both playful and melancholy, archaic and spontaneous. In additions to her paintings, sculptures extend this tension into three dimensions as found objects, natural artifacts, and studio detritus join with painterly technique to form precarious assemblages.
She has had solo exhibitions at SculptureCenter in New York, Sikkema Jenkins & Co. in New York, Pilar Corrias in London, and Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects, among others. Her work has been included in group exhibitions at institutions such as Cluj Museum in Romania, Center for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle in Warsaw, The Neuberger Museum at Purchase College, and Saatchi Gallery in London.
