People v. McCloud (Cal. Ct. App. - Dec. 6, 2012)
Quiz for the day:
When you shoot ten bullets into a crowd of 62 people, and kill two people, you're guilty of two counts of attempted murder and _______ counts of attempted murder.
Sixty? Eight? Zero?
The correct answer: It depends.
The trial court here thought the answer to this question would be sixty. Relying in large part on the "kill zone" theory of criminal liability that ostensibly says that if you shoot into a crowd you can be convicted of attempting to kill everyone in the crowd.
The Court of Appeal reverses.
Justice Rothschild does a good job of explaining -- very coherently, in my view -- the appropriate scope of the "kill zone" theory. Yes, there's such a theory. But no, it doesn't mean that you're guilty of a thousand counts of attempted murder just because you shoot a single bullet into a crowd not caring who you hit.
The theory instead applies when you attempt to kill a specific person in a crowd by killing everyone in the crowd. Throwing a bomb into a crowd, for example. You intend to kill X, but by killing X and everyone around him. Spraying automatic weapons fire into a crowd designed to kill X because it kills everyone else too. That's the proper scope of the kill zone theory. A theory that's inapplicable here. Ten shots aren't designed to wipe out the entire crowd of sixty. They may create dangers to sixty -- and for that, you might be liable (assault?) -- but that's not the attempted murder of sixty.
That seems right to me.
Mind you, I think it creates some very difficult line-drawing issues. Even the person spraying the assault rifle, for example, might say that he didn't "intend" to kill the crowd -- that was merely a byproduct of his attempt to kill X, so there's insufficient intent. Similarly, what do you do about the shooter who fires ten bullets into a tightly packed group of five? How do we decide whether this is a situation in which the shooter "intends" to kill X by killing all five or, instead, the other four are only "byproducts" of the attempt to kill X and hence there's no liability for attempt. I'm really unsure how we'd choose -- or at least choose rationally -- between these competing interpretations of the facts.
But the existence of an uncertain line doesn't necessarily mean there's not in fact a line. We don't know precisely how many hairs make a beard. But that doesn't mean there's no difference between someone who's bearded and someone who's clean-shaven. There is.

World Bank scraps plan to loan Tanzania $300mn
NAIROBI: The World Bank has scrapped a plan to loan Tanzania $300 million after the country reaffirmed its policy of banning pregnant girls from school and recently made it a crime to question official statistics, a bank official said on Wednesday.
The Washington-based lender decided against presenting the education program related to the loan to its board for approval last month, the official said.
Tanzanian authorities did not answer calls for comment on Wednesday.
President John Magufuli's government has been condemned by rights groups and Western governments for what they say is its growing authoritarianism and intolerance of dissent. The government has rejected that criticism.
Tanzania has banned pregnant girls from attending state primary and secondary schools since 1961. Last year, Magufuli reaffirmed that policy and said that as long as he was president no pregnant student would be allowed to return to school.
"The World Bank supports policies that encourage girls' education and make it possible for young women to stay in school until they reach their full potential," the Bank said in an e-mailed statement.
"Working with other partners, the World Bank will continue to advocate for girls' access to education through our dialogue with the Tanzanian government."

Summary "This book offers a unique, interdisciplinary, and thoughtful look at the challenges and potency of Black women's struggle for inner peace and mental stability. It brings together contributors from psychology, sociology, law, and medicine, as well as the humanities, to discuss issues ranging from stress, sexual assault, healing, self-care, and contemplative practice to health-policy considerations and parenting. Merging theory and practice with personal narratives and public policy, the book develops a new framework for approaching Black women's wellness in order to provide tangible solutions. The collection reflects feminist praxis and defines womanist peace in terms that reject both "superwoman" stereotypes and "victim" caricatures. Also included for health professionals are concrete recommendations for understanding and treating Black women"--Publisher's description.

Fact check: Viral post overstates increase in crude oil prices
The claim: The price of crude oil increased 513% between Joe Biden's inauguration and the Russian invasion of Ukraine
With the recovery from the pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the price of crude oil recently reached its highest level since 2014, surging above $100 a barrel despite efforts from countries to stabilize energy markets.
As Americans continue to face higher prices at the pump, some social media users have claimed the prices are less about the invasion than actions of President Joe Biden.
"The price of crude oil increased 513% between the moment Biden took office and Putin invaded Ukraine," reads a March 8 Facebook post from the page President Trump Fans than accumulated more than 1,800 interactions in a couple weeks. "It has increased 25% since the invasion. The price you're paying at the pump is Biden's fault, not Putin's."
The text is a screenshot of a March 8 tweet from Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA. His tweet generated more than more than 21,000 likes and 8,000 retweets.
Crude oil prices have risen sharply, but the rise was most notable after the Russian invasion – not before – and not nearly to the extent claimed in this post. Energy experts say there are a number of international factors causing changes in prices.
USA TODAY reached out to Kirk's spokesperson and the social media users who shared the claim for comment.
Posts overstate increase
When Biden took office on Jan. 20, 2021, crude oil prices were around $53 a barrel, according to data from the Energy Information Administration. On Feb. 24, the day Russia launched its military assault, prices were around $93 a barrel.
That's a 75% increase, but as David Gulley, a professor of economics at Bentley University, notes, the claim "dramatically overstates the gain."
Trey Cowan, an oil and gas analyst at the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, similarly said the claim that oil prices increased by 513% between Biden's Inauguration and Russia's invasion is "categorically false."
On March 8, the day Kirk published his tweet, crude oil was around $124 a barrel, which is a 33% increase since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, a little over his claim that prices increased 25% from Feb. 24.
Both Cowan and Gulley said prices increased last year due to a number of factors, and the Russia-Ukraine crisis caused oil prices to surge even more. Those factors pertained to the economic recovery as the coronavirus pandemic eased, resulting in demand for oil products growing faster than supply, according to the EIA.
"The invasion into Ukraine exacerbates these conditions," Cowan said via email. "Prices have swung dramatically as the market tries to make some sense of what oil supply will look like in the coming months."
Fact check roundup: What's true and what's false about the Russian invasion of Ukraine
After Russia's invasion of Ukraine, crude oil prices jumped as high as $130 a barrel overnight on March 7. However, prices later dipped, falling below $100 a barrel on March 29.
Based on our research, we rate FALSE the claim that the price of crude oil increased 513% between Biden's first day in office and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Data shows crude oil prices increased by around 75% in that span. Energy analysts say a variety of factors are responsible for the surge in crude oil prices.

"I have been to so many healthcare providers over the past few years and Yena Kim is by far the best. Visiting a physician always made me anxious and worried, but now that Yena is my primary care physician, she has reduced my anxiety and helped me feel much more comfortable during consultations. Obviously, no physician is going to miraculously cure a patient, but with Yena as my physician, I feel I can always rely on her to give me an expert opinion in a professional manner."
Yena's approach is quite unique, because she really takes her time to get to the bottom of her patients' problems. By doing so, she discovered the underlying issue that has been making me feel unwell on a regular basis. Since then, we have been working on improving my general health and physical as well as emotional well-being through an integrated approach that allows me to take advantage of the best sides of traditional medicine and integrated/holistic approaches. This thorough, yet personal, approach truly distinguishes her from other doctors I've had in the past, and I couldn't be happier about having her as my primary care provider!

Looking for Chris' pics, I found the link to the 10" BC, figured I'd post it for a refresher.
I just obtained the 12" NECA Godzilla 2014... yeah, I'm a bit late with that one. Some of the joints were stuck in awkward positions, but a hairdryer fixed all that. Phenomenal figure, easily my favorite G'14 figure.
Anyways, I have so many G'14 figures now that I decided I'd go the way I did with the 2005 Kong and collect damn-near everything from the movie. So I wanted to double-check with others on what's left for me to get.
That's what I have at present. The Gashapon set is on its way. Still need to grab the Bandai Japan 6" Godzilla and Male MUTO vinyls (anyone have any recommendations of where I should get those?), and the Bandai Creation 12" Godzilla (though that just came out, probably not going to see it for a while, all my TRU's are slow). Also note, I'm not interested in those "Egg" figures, the Monsterarts variants, or the X-Plus.
Besides all those, are there any other figures I'm missing?
That looks like a rather complete collection, actually.
Oh wait, the Hallmark ornament! That's not there!
I don't see the Bandai Japan MMS Godzilla 2014 either, and soon you can add the 10" BC Vinyl. If you want to get technical, there's the spitfire SHMA as well.

Uh, he said that he wasn't interested in the MonsterArts variants.
Hit reply without scrolling past the image.
Those are the only other items I can think of that no one else has mentioned, not counting statues.
What is it about the transforming Egg figures that's keeping you away from them? I mean, they're cheap, very easy to get til this day, and aren't really that bad looking. Not saying you should get them, but they seem ideal if you're trying to get as complete as you can.
Not a full figure, but the 6" figure sized bust cup top from Japanese theaters would fit with the collection.
I didn't even know these were out. Guess that makes two more G'14's.
gigan72 wrote: That looks like a rather complete collection, actually.
Oh, whoops! I do actually have that one, I forgot to include it in the picture.
What exactly was the hatching Godzilla again? I don't remember that one. Might want to try to track down the bottlecap figure. I forgot about that one, I have a bunch of the older bottle cap figure lines so it would be a nice addition.
I just don't really care for them. However, if I can get them dirt cheap, I will. Recommend any sites?
GFAN198423 wrote: Not a full figure, but the 6" figure sized bust cup top from Japanese theaters would fit with the collection.
I've been eyeing that one. Wanted to try to get it with the cup if possible.
Oh cool, I really didn't think those finger puppets would ever come out. I'll have to track them down.
Why they continue to use that piece of poop BC Bandai in all their marketing really boggles the mind. That thing looks hideous. Why don't Toho have them use an actual movie still instead.
It's a very strange marketing choice, I can't think of any other standard package art for a product line that used and actual product and not art or a film image. On top of it all, using a sub-par figure at that.

Both Godzilla and Muto are still available on Amazon for good prices.
How much did the 12" Neca cost you? I haven't found one at a low enough price yet.
Like Rody said you should get both I have the 2014 however it has some problems for one, if you thought the Neca 2014's head was too small it may be a deal breaker as the head is smaller than a peanut on the Bandai, the mouth paint is just one long white line and the eyes have SHMA problems (Though it's still hilariously better than it's $70 counterpart) and it has a few other problems such as I never found the arm articulation to amount to much however it's got great detail and a lot of color making it possibly the most colorful of the 2014's and it's a new Bandai vinyl. however I think you should get the MUTO first while I don't have it but from what I have seen sadly it's just smooth all around with little detail and the EMP effect is orange however it's the only big MUTO out there and it's more accurate to the on screen version than 2014 and it just looks cooler get it first and than get 2014 you'll be happier that way.

Probably gonna go for those soon then. Thanks!
NECA Goji was $65 shipped. I believe retail was $60 (might have been $50 - either way, taking shipping into account for such a large figure, I don't think that's too bad). I wanted to try to get one cheaper myself, but I got tired of waiting. Your best bet might be Ebay, cheaper auctions pop up from time to time.

I definitely intend on getting both, for sure, but I am aware they leave a lot to be desired. The Bandai Creations Godzilla vinyl looks better in about every way. The vinyl MUTO is the only MUTO I don't have besides the Egg figure, eager to get it.
I wish somebody, be it Bandai Japan or USA, would make a 6" of the female.
From every reference image I've seen, NECA's proportions are spot on, this Godzilla's head is relatively smaller to his body than some past designs, though I feel like it's not too of from a Heisei Godzilla, but the over shape of his body makes the head seem even smaller. I do find that the City of Destruction Godzilla and the Bandai MMS made the head smaller to the body than the design, but at least the CofD figure is sculpted from who knows what reference as some details seem made up or stylized. I don't have the MMS yet so I can't comment if that does the same.

I believe you'll find that all of the Bandai figures, from the MonsterArts figure down to the smallest candy toy, both Bandai Creation and Bandai Japan, have the same altered feet wherein the toes are equally proportioned and slightly elongated. The larger figures seem to have proportionally bigger heads than the NECA figures do also.
Oh, man. To this day I still don't like how the Jakks looks. It is a big figure...and that's pretty much its only virtue.

The compromise on a counter-proposal to the Swiss Responsible Business Initiative sinks in the Council of State
Mar 13, 2019	/ By Swiss Coalition for Corporate Justice
Press Release: The compromise on a counter-proposal to the Swiss Responsible Business Initiative sinks in the Council of State.
On the 13th March, the Council of State in Switzerland (the second chamber in the Swiss Parliament) decided by a narrow majority not to enter into deliberations on the counter-proposal to the popular Responsible Business Initiative (RBI).
The decision is not surprising. The past week has been marked by intense lobby pressure from part of the corporate sector, led by the multinational corporations Swissholdings and Economiesuisse.
The decision by the Council of State stands in contradiction to the position of the National Council (the first chamber in the Parliament), which in June 2018 passed the counter-proposal with the support of a wide majority (121 versus 73 votes). With its decision yesterday, the second chamber has rejected the introduction into the Swiss legal system of rules aimed at protecting human rights and the planet.
In practical terms, the vote means that multinational corporations such as Glencore, Syngenta and Novartis can continue their business with total disregard of their impacts and without fear of legal consequences.
The success of the corporate lobby in the Parliament's second chamber results from a twofold strategy. On the one hand, Economiesuisse and Swissholdings have been blocking the counter-proposal from the very beginning of the parliament's discussions, ignoring the concessions made in their favour. This attitude contrasts with that of the initiators of the RBI, which had accepted up-to twenty limitations to the original text in order to facilitate an agreement on the urgently needed law.
On the other hand, the two corporations had fed a climate of uncertainty in the run-up to the Council's vote with an array of false statements, according to the RBI's Committee.
The counter-proposal will now go back to the National Council (lower house), which will have to decide if it sticks to its proposed bill or not. The RBI's Committee maintains its commitment to consider withdrawing the popular initiative in the event that the National Council's counter-proposal is finally adopted. If this does not happen, the RBI could be subject to a popular vote (referendum) in 2020.
Dick Mary, the co-president of the Committee of the Initiative, looks at the possibility of a popular vote with calm: "I am optimistic, given the important support that the RBI has received, including, in particular, among the economic sector. These companies have noted that the continuous scandals involving Swiss companies harm our country and that the proposed legal reform will help the Swiss economy to get ready for the future".
What does the Initiative ask for?
The Responsible Business Initiative (RBI) aims at changing the Swiss Constitution in order to oblige companies ensure respect for human rights and the environment in the course of their business operations. To meet their obligation, companies will have to conduct Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD). In order to ensure respect with this law by all companies covered, damage caused must lead to legal consequences. Under the new law, multinational corporations would be also liable for the human rights violations caused by their subsidiaries, when the damage resulted from a breach of the parent company's HRDD obligations.

Hey everybody,
My name is Zach Walton and I play in an alternative metal band called "Seilies" in Madison, Wisconsin. I've been playing drums for about 11 years now and have been playing live shows for the last 7 years. In that 7 years, Seilies has opened for bands such as Hed P.E., Blacktop Mojo, Shim (formerly of Sick Puppies), Eve to Adam, Islander, RED, Stitched Up Heart, and many more! I have released 2 studio efforts, and a stand-alone cover of Bad Romance by Lady Gaga, under my band Seilies since 2018.
To me, there is nothing better than sitting behind my kit and petting my heart out either during practice or at live shows! Drumming has been a passion of mine since I was a little kid and I am forever grateful to my parents for helping me get my first drum kit and follow my passions.

Mercure set for UK expansion
18 Jan 2011 1:42 pm | Sara Turner | 0 Comments
Focus Hotels has signed a deal with Accor to convert 10 of its hotels to the Mercure brand.
The hotels will join the midscale brand in the first quarter of 2011, taking the hotel brand's portfolio from 33 to 43 hotels.
Mercure's new additions will be located in regional cities, including Swindon, Wolverhampton, Stafford and Chester.
Jean-Jacques Dessors, chief operating officer of Accor UK and Ireland, said, "We are very excited to announce a deal that significantly increases Mercure's presence across the UK."
Accor plans to have 300 hotels in the UK by 2015. "We have ambitious plans for the UK," said Dessors, "and we are totally committed to extending our Accor network and bringing our expertise in all segments."
The hotels, many of which before being taken over by Focus Hotels were in administration, have been refurbished and upgraded.
Peter Cashman, Focus Hotels' CEO, said : "Our strategy in taking on these hotels, many of which were in administration, was to bring them up to a high standard and make them profitable, with a view to finding the right 'home' for them.
"I am a passionate believer in matching the brand to the property and we identified Mercure as the perfect partner for these ten hotels; Mercure will allow them to maintain their individuality and character whilst offering the credibility of one of the most respected international hotel brands."

Depression is a liar. It tells you you're worthless and better off gone. You have to resist it with everything you have. Don't be afraid to ask for help If you're struggling as getting help is one of the best things you can do.
Stay strong and know there's a whole community of people out here rooting for you and believing in you. Life will not always be straight as there are ups and downs but we must never give in to the sadness.
Dare to fight it. Knowing you've overcome something and beat it is an accomplishment you can carry with you forever, something to take pride in. Next time you feel that way, say these words out loud till you believe it "this too shall pass".

The body of Christ is definitely not gluten-free!
Catholics cannot use gluten-free versions of communion wafers to participate in Holy Communion. Pope Francis said, in a letter issued this weekend, that only unleavened wheat bread can be used.
For those affected by Celiac disease and other gluten allergies, low-gluten substitutes are allowed — as long as there is enough gluten to make it still "wheat bread," a requirement for the sacrament.
Communion, or the Eucharist, is one of the seven sacraments of Catholicism, and practitioners believe that the unleavened bread transubstantiates, or transforms, into the body of Christ after consecration. According to the Code of Canon Law, communion bread must be made of wheat in order to transform.
The law states that "bread made from another substance [...] does not constitute valid matter for confecting the Sacrifice and the Eucharistic Sacrament."
Concerns of non-wheat bread wasn't a problem before, says the letter, as communion bread used to be specially prepared by "religious communities," but now can be purchased anywhere.
The letter also reminds the Bishops that the wine must be "fruit of the grape" and not mixed with anything else.

Q: How do I get how many computers I have delivered per date in SQL Server? I have a table with the following columns:
Inventory
ID,
SerialComputer,
RegistrationDate,
Deadline

I want to make a query in which the first column shows me all the dates on which computers have been delivered, and next to the amount of computers that were delivered on that date, how can I make that possible in SQL Server?
I know I get the dates this way:
SELECT DISTINCT Deadline
FROM Inventory
ORDER BY Deadline

How do I add the COUNT () with the SerialComputer column?

A: Do aggregation using GROUP BY clause :
SELECT Deadline, COUNT(*) AS [# computers delivered]
FROM Inventory
GROUP BY Deadline;

DISTINCT will remove duplicate values so, that will not help you.

A: Presumably, deadline is the delivery date.  If so, you want aggregation:
SELECT Deadline, COUNT(*)
FROM Inventory
GROUP BY Deadline
ORDER BY Deadline
