We lawyers love, love, love our formality, oft times filling pages with pretentious legalese. I'm sure that wax seals and red ribbons were invented by lawyers, to make doubly, triply sure that everything was authentic. And redundant.
And when seals and ribbons went by the wayside, wet ink signatures became the standard-bearer of authenticity.
Last week the Appellate Division (First Department) confronted the formality of signatures regarding a settlement. The court sought to answer a question: If lawyers agree to a settlement via our now ubiquitous email, but use a standard signature block instead of retyping their names, is a settlement valid?
In other words, what kind of seals and red ribbons do we now need?
While at first blush this looks like a small esoteric question of law regarding the informality of email and the courts' respect for stipulations, it has the potential to carry over to a thousand different aspects of law as now practiced.
The fact pattern of The Matter of Philidelphia Insurance v. Kendall is not too complicated (if you practice personal injury law here in New York), but for the others a short background: The liability insurance you buy for your car is not for your injuries, but for the injuries of others in a collision. Thus, if the other person has only a $25,000 policy, you might be shit out of luck — a technical legal term — if you lost your leg. That's why you buy Supplementary Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (SUM) insurance. That part is for you. If the other driver has only $25K in insurance, and you have $1M, you can turn to your own insurer for the $975K difference.
And that's what happened here. Kendall was clobbered in a collision. The motorcycle that hit her had only the 25K minimum but she had $1M in SUM. She collected the $25K from the other driver and proceeded to arbitration against her own insurer.
According to the decision, this funky fact-pattern popped up regarding the arbitrator's decision and settlement with the arbitrator awarding the maximum 975K. But Kendall's lawyer settled for only 400K because he hadn't see the decision yet:
The arbitrator rendered her decision on September 16, 2019, awarding Kendall $975,000. The same day, the decision was emailed to Kendall's counsel and faxed to Philadelphia's counsel. However, neither counsel received the decision and they continued to negotiate. On September 19, 2019, the parties reached an agreement to settle the dispute for $400,000.
How did they shake hands on this deal? Via email:
On that day [Kendall's] counsel emailed [Philadelphia's] counsel: "Confirmed -we are settled for 400K." Below this appeared "Sincerely," followed by counsel's name and contact information. Shortly thereafter, [Philadelphia's] counsel emailed in reply, attaching a general release, styled a "Release and Trust Agreement," and saying, "Get it signed quickly before any decision comes in, wouldn't want your client reneging." [Kendall's] counsel answered, "Thank you. Will try to get her in asap." This email concluded with the same valediction, name, and contact information as had [Kendall's] counsel's earlier email.
The lawyer for the injured Kendall then learned of the $975K decision and wanted to go back on the $400K agreement, arguing that it was't "subscribed" as per CPLR 2104 by retyping his name in the email in addition to his prepopulated contact information block.
So, is the email agreement "in writing" as required by statute? If it sounds like a boring one-off kinda issue, you are not thinking of all those emails you send on a daily basis and how those might be viewed by a court.
Now previously, our Court of Appeals had held that a preprogrammed name on a fax transmission did not fulfill the subscription requirement. So email should be the same, right? (Parma Tile Mosaic & Marble Co. v Estate of Short)
The times, they are a changin'. A mid-level appeals court has now held that the old fax decision from New York's top court is not controlling as the practice of law has changed:
The Parma court wrote in a different era, when paper records were still an important modality, maybe the most important modality, of recording information in law and business. Since that time, the electronic storage of records has become the norm, email has become ubiquitous, and statutes allowing for electronic signatures have become widespread. For these reasons, and those that follow, we find that Parma is not controlling.
While this very same court held in 2013 that "an email in which a party's or its attorney's name is prepopulated in the email is not sufficiently subscribed for purposes of CPLR 2104" it has now reversed itself and said "wet ink" signatures are not needed, nor is any retyped signature:
We now hold that this distinction between prepopulated and retyped signatures in emails reflects a needless formality that does not reflect how law is commonly practiced today. It is not the signoff that indicates whether the parties intended to reach a settlement via email, but rather the fact that the email was sent.
In fact, even the signature block doesn't appear to be needed — it must only be sent from the lawyer's account, forming a rebuttable presumption that the lawyer sent it:
We find that if an attorney hits "send" with the intent of relaying a settlement offer or acceptance, and their email account is identified in some way as their own, then it is unnecessary for them to type their own signature.
But wait, there's more: It has been customary over the years for defendants and insurance companies to create ever more complex general releases and settlement agreements. Back in the day, the simple Blumberg form was the gold standard, until those that bill by the hour figured out there may be a bit more gold to be mined by creating ever more complex forms.
The First Department, however, found that the simple email was binding when the sole issue was the amount of the settlement. The digital handshake was good enough, and the formal release wasn't particularly relevant as it is merely a ministerial condition:
The Release and Trust Agreement was to be further documentation of the binding agreement constituted by the parties' counsel's emails agreeing to settle respondent's claim for $400,000, rather than something on which that binding agreement was contingent. The material term of the parties' agreement to settle respondent's claim being the sum of money that petitioner would pay respondent, respondent's execution of a general release was essentially a ministerial condition precedent to payment (see CPLR 5003-a[a].
So, your emailed agreements will be held up the same as if they had a fancy wax seal and a red ribbon. And probably so too with any other assertion that you make. And those complex general releases that defendants like to waste time with may well be meaningless to a court.
Don't think twice before hitting send. Think it though three times. Because "send" is your signature.

A Feres Doctrine Repeal? Not so Fast…(Updated)
Lt. Rudolph Feres, for whom the Feres doctrine was named, parachuted into the darkness in the first hours of D-Day in 1944. He was killed later in a stateside barracks fire and his estate was barred from bringing suit. Photo via NY Times.
The rule is as old as government itself: You can't sue the King.
The concept of "sovereign immunity" protects governments from suit unless they specifically consent. In the U.S. we are permitted to do so by various statutes, and in the case of the federal government, under the Federal Tort Claims Act.
Well, sometimes, anyway. Because there's a big, fat hairy exception to that rule, and that exception is for those on active duty in the military. You can't bring suit for acts "arising out of combatant activities." The problem here is that it's been extended to plain old negligence away from the battlefield.
Did your stateside barracks burn down? Sorry Charlie. Or in this case, sorry Rudolph Feres. We're you raped by your drill sergeant? Tough noogies. Your wife died from blood loss after child birth because of a looooong delay in giving blood? You get our condolences and we wish you well raising the kid as a single parent.
The Feres Doctrine prevents all suits, because the U.S. Supreme Court extended the prohibition on suits from "combatant activities" to all situations. It has long been an unfair abomination of the law.
And so, as I took the train home yesterday and read in the NY Times that a portion of the Feres Doctrine was to be repealed for medical malpractice under the pending National Defense Authorization Act, I was elated for those that had been victimized twice.
But. And you knew there had to be a "but," didn't you? According to the Military Times, most claims are limited to $100,000. And the military doesn't pay the legal fees. And it doesn't happen under the Federal Tort Claims act, but under some kind of (not yet written) administrative procedure. You can find the text here.
If the claims are limited to $100,000 this medical malpractice exception is virtually useless. Because in order to prove the claim experts will be required. The military wouldn't be responsible for the original illness, after all. Only for that which was caused by medical malpractice. And you need experts for that.
And experts cost money. As do depositions and medical records. And with military personnel involved, probably lots of travel too.
The military, of course has unlimited resources to defend and hire experts. And all medical malpractice cases are vigorously defended.
Even a simple medical malpractice case can cost a plaintiff $25,000 – $50,000 when you figure in experts for liability, causation and damages. And that doesn't include a trial.
And more — the legal fee is capped at 20%.
The soldier or sailor is unlikely to have that money. It will be lent by the attorneys. But which attorneys are going to pony up so much money with so much risk for so little fee? It's a path to bankruptcy.
A $100,000 limit is a shonda. A shame. An embarrassment. It's like putting a band aid on an amputated limb. Few people will ever find a lawyer to handle such a small case at such great risk and cost.
The text of the bill says that the Secretary of Defense can create regulations that allow them to pay more. Regulations that haven't been written.
So what is the purpose of setting that $100,000 bar? Will future Secretaries of Defense be paying those damages out of their own budgets? Who shall they take the money from?
Why is Congress allowing the Secretary of Defense to set its own rules? Why isn't this done under the existing rules of the Federal Tort Claims act? Why wouldn't the Judiciary handle such a claim?
Congress should treat our soldiers and sailors better. If they are mistreated by the military doctors they are compelled to use they should have access to justice. Real justice. Not this pretend crap.
It's often said that perfect is the enemy of the good, but I can't see how this will end out as good if this bill is so watered down that the Secretary of Defense can so easily circumvent Congress.

Addendum: The following press release came from Rep. Jackie Speier, who spearheaded the campaign to fix the Feres Doctrine. She asserts that there will be congressional oversight of the rule making and that the potential recovery is "unlimited." The devil, it is often said, is in the details:
December 10, 2019 Press Release
Washington, D.C.- Last night, the House and Senate Armed Services Committees released a conference report for the fiscal year 2020 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that included an administrative claims process that will compensate servicemembers harmed by medical malpractice in military facilities. As Chair of the House Armed Services Military Personnel Subcommittee, Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D-CA) has led the campaign to achieve justice for victims of military medical malpractice over the last year.
"Today will be remembered as a landmark day in the fight for justice for servicemembers and their families," Rep. Speier said. "After nearly 70 years of the FeresDoctrine, servicemembers and their families finally have a path forward in seeking compensation for medical malpractice committed by military health care providers, and the Defense Department will have to take their claims seriously. This victory belongs to the hundreds if not thousands of injured servicemembers and their loved ones who have spoken out about this injustice and forced Congress to listen. In particular, today belongs to Army Green Beret and SFC Richard Stayskal, who, after receiving a terminal cancer diagnosis that stemmed from military medical malpractice, forged a bipartisan coalition to achieve this legislative breakthrough through his countless visits to DC and heroic advocacy."
Though this provision will not create an exemption to the Feres doctrine nor will it allow servicemembers to sue the Department of Defense (DOD) for medical malpractice in federal court, it will allow servicemembers to receive uncapped monetary compensation under the Military Claims Act for malpractice. It also forces the DOD to document and respond to these cases. The legislation also contains provisions to enable congressional oversight of DOD's rulemaking and administration of the claims process so that it can be improved in future years.
"Though today's conference report was an accomplishment in many respects, this fix is far from perfect," Rep. Speier added. "Servicemembers – like their families, federal civilian employees, and even prisoners – who suffer from malpractice deserve their day in federal court. And I have serious concerns about allowing the DOD to run the entire claims process as they will write the rules, investigate malpractice incidents, and adjudicate claims. But it was important that we seize this unique political moment, created by the hard work of Richard Stayskal and other victims and their loves ones, as well as the availability of funds to pay for claims under Congressional budget rules. Rest assured that I will closely oversee the implementation of these changes and continue to work to address the myriad injustices that remain due to the Feres doctrine."
Rep. Speier chaired a Military Personnel Subcommittee hearing on the impact of the Feres doctrine and prospects for reform after meeting with SFC Stayskal in late 2018. Subsequently, she introduced H.R. 2422, the SFC Richard Stayskal Military Medical Accountability Act of 2019, which passed as part of the House's NDAA bill.

NY's Top Court Upends Law on Summary Judgment
It's long been the law in ¾ of New York that, in order to win summary judgment in a personal injury case, plaintiffs also had to show that they weren't themselves also negligent.
That three-fourths fraction exists because, as I noted back in 2010, there was a split in the four New York appellate departments regarding this issue.
That split case law is now history, courtesy of (naturally) a 4-3 decision today in New York's Court of Appeals in Rodriguez v. City of New York.
The Court outlined the issue succinctly:
Whether a plaintiff is entitled to partial summary judgment on the issue of a defendant's liability, when, as here, defendant has arguably raised an issue of fact regarding plaintiff's comparative negligence. Stated differently, to obtain partial summary judgment in a comparative negligence case, must plaintiffs establish the absence of their own comparative negligence. We hold that a plaintiff does not bear that burden.
Let's take a garden variety matter of an individual crossing in the crosswalk, with the light in her favor. She gets hit by a car making a turn, whose driver failed to yield the right of way to the pedestrian.
Assuming that there is no question that she had the light, and was in the crosswalk, and was injured as a result of the collision, most people would have thought she could remove this issue from a trial and have the court determine the issue of the driver's negligence as a matter of law.
But that wasn't the case in New York, unless the pedestrian also proved that she was paying attention and didn't do anything wrong. Some of our courts would deny the motion based on the issue of potential comparative fault, giving the driver a windfall by making his own negligent conduct a jury issue even though it was clear he broke the law and contributed to the injuries.
The Court used the example of a statutory violation being the basis of a motion for summary judgment being denied because, potentially, the plaintiff might also have some culpability:
For example, assuming in a hypothetical case a defendant's negligence could be established as a matter of law because defendant's conduct was in violation of a statute (see PJI 2:26) and further assuming plaintiff was denied partial summary judgment on the issue of defendant's negligence because plaintiff failed to establish the absence of his or her own comparative negligence, the jury would be permitted to decide the question of whether defendant was negligent and whether defendant's negligence proximately caused plaintiff's injuries.
This was the windfall the Court wrote of: Why should the jury get the question of defendant's negligence if it could be determined as a matter of law?
This is what we now refer to as "old law." It's in the dumpster.
The point of the underlying statutes, the court reasoned, was that the issue of comparative negligence was solely to deal with diminishing any potential recovery. It has no bearing on establishing whether a defendant is negligent.
Thus, a typical verdict sheet might have the five questions below, and if any of them can be resolved as a matter of law then that is the proper procedure for a trial court on hearing a motion for summary judgment:
1. Was the defendant negligent?
2. Was defendant's negligence a substantial factor in causing [the injury or the accident]?
3. Was plaintiff negligent?
4. Was plaintiff's negligence a substantial factor in causing (his or her) own injuries?
5. What was the percentage of fault of the defendant and what was the percentage of fault of the plaintiff?
What was the rationale for overturning the prior decision of the court, in Thoma v Ronai? The majority reasoned (and the dissent disputed) that the parties in Thoma didn't raise the relevant parts of our civil practice law and rules so that they could be analyzed. So be it.
The net result of this decision will, I think, be two-fold:
Plaintiffs that previously had had summary judgment denied will now move to reargue based on the new interpretation of the law, if possible; and
More issues will be resolved prior to trial, leading to more settlements. Because it is uncertainty about how a jury will resolve an issue that most often hinders settlements.
When I wrote about this split in the appellate departments back in 2010, I said:
When the split between the lower appellate courts hits the Court of Appeals, hopefully it will see the wisdom of resolving issues on the papers in advance of trial if there is no issue of fact on that particular issue. There is no compelling reason that I see that partial summary judgment on the issue of liability should not be available if the particular issue raised doesn't present a factual issue for a jury to resolve.
It feels good being able to revisit that issue and see it come out this way.

"Today, they are gifted with surprise."
Dejah Thoris is a just princess who values science and combat. Vampirella is a just vampire who also values science and combat. The two come together in Vampirella/Dejah Thoris #1 from Dynamite Comics. The issue is written by Erik Burnham, illustrated by Ediano Silva, colored by Dinei Ribeiro and lettered by Troy Peteri.
The beauty of a character like Vampirella is that she can really crossover with any other character without too much of a suspension of disbelief--something Burnham uses to his advantage here. Still, Burnham unites Dejah Thoris and Vampirella in a way that doesn't seem too outlandish and their first encounter actually serves as a marvelous set-up for the entire series. Burnham doesn't force anything in the issue, allowing Dejah Thoris' rebellious personality and Vampirella's generally good nature carry the narrative. The issue could easily have dived into the history of Barsoom, but Burnham knew that wasn't necessary and explains enough of the planet and culture to give the issue context. The issue is paced very well and Burnham doesn't seem to be in any sort of rush to get anything established or check any proverbial crossover boxes.
Silva takes a very grizzled approach in the artwork that underscores the somewhat harsh conditions of Barsoom that its inhabitants have become accustomed to. Dejah Thoris is drawn with more of a feminine look than other incarnations, but that doesn't prevent Silva from impressing upon the reader that's she extraordinarily fierce when needed. Silva renders Vampirella similarly and the two seem more than appropriate matches for one another, both in terms of intellect and capability in combat. There's a dizzying abundance of insets and overlays throughout the issue that lends a somewhat frenetic take to the book; the book might have been better served were the panels slightly more organized. Ribeiro's colors capture the arid nature of Barsoom well, punctuated by the bolder red of blood when Vampirella arrives. There's also a good variety of covers for the issue that include two cosplayer covers (one of which is Jacqueline Goehner as Vampirella).
Vampirella/Dejah Thoris #1 is a very strong first issue in a highly anticipated crossover. Dejah Thoris and Vampirella are going to be unlikely allies in a possible war neither of them want, but will seem to get nonetheless. Burnham's script actually makes a lot of sense considering the apparent ridiculousness of the premise behind the series (a vampire meets a planetary princess). Silva's illustrations are a great fit for the story and capture the essence of each of the main characters well. Vampirella/Dejah Thoris #1 is a lot a fun and the series will likely be a blast.
Vampirella/Dejah Thoris #1 is available September 26.

la Radiazione cosmica di fondo: mentre stavano lavorando con un nuovo tipo di antenna per microonde, Penzias e Wilson trovarono una sorgente di rumore che non potevano eliminare né spiegare, fino a che non si rivolsero a Robert Dicke della Princeton University, il quale si rese immediatamente conto che quel rumore altro non era che la radiazione cosmica di fondo ipotizzata negli anni quaranta dall'astrofisico George Gamow.

Questa scoperta è considerata la più importante delle prove sperimentali a favore delle teorie cosmologiche che prevedono un Big Bang.

The litho printing industry is hyper-competitive but there is a way to get in with minimal cost by using a one colour machine and focusing on invoice books.
Usually if you have a one colour litho machine you would be forced into producing cheap flyers, but by focusing on the custom invoice book market you can make good margins.
What you will be doing is creating invoice, order books, delivery books and various business forms customized with the clients' logo, business registration, bank details and address etc. All these types of books are identical in design so you should have a template in your design software (CorelDraw, Illustrator) etc. then you just switch the logo out with the new client.
You need three things for this business: a litho printing machine, with numbering and a perforator, black ink and a good supplier of carbonless paper. Now the carbonless paper is key to this business. Carbonless paper is a coated paper designed to transfer whatever is written on the front to the sheet below it. Now you probably thinking what is so special about that? I mean carbon paper has been around for a long time: Efficiency. There is no need to look for a carbon sheet and then position it behind the page being written on, that is the old way of doing things. Carbonless paper is cheap enough to be able to make invoice books with and make a good profit. You can make easily make invoice books, in duplicate (two part), triplicate (three part).
Once the book has been numbered and perforated, it can then be bound. Starting out you don't need a bookbinding machine for this as it can be done by hand.

Big Jim was a popular line of action figure toys produced from 1972 through 1986 by Mattel for the North American and European markets. In Latin America he was renamed Kid Acero, and for a short period of time, Mark Strong in Europe. Originally inspired by G.I. Joe, the Big Jim line was smaller in size (closer to 10 inches in height compared to Joe's 12) and each figure included a push button in the back that made the character execute a karate chop action. The action figure's arms were made of a soft plastic/vinyl material and contained a mechanism that simulated the bulge of a biceps when the elbow was bent. Big Jim was less military-oriented than the G.I. Joe line, having more of a secret agent motif, but also had a large variety of outfits and situations available including sports, space exploration, martial arts, hunting, western, camping and even unusual choices such as fishing and photography.

Jim is a comic book series by Jim Woodring. It began in 1980 as a self-published zine and was picked up by Fantagraphics Books in 1986 after cartoonist Gil Kane introduced Woodring to Fantagraphics co-owner Gary Groth. The publisher released four magazine-sized black-and-white issues starting in September 1987. A comic book-sized continuation, Jim Volume II, with some color, began in 1993 and ran for six issues until 1996.
Jim, which Woodring described as an "autojournal", contained comics on a variety of subjects, many based on dreams, as well as surreal drawings and free-form text which resembled Jimantha automatic writing. Besides dreams, the work drew on Woodring's childhood experiences, hallucinations, past alcoholism, and Hindu beliefs. It also included stories of recurring Woodring characters such as Pulque (the embodiment of drunkenness), boyhood friends Chip and Monk, and, in Volume II, his signature creation Frank.
Jim is made up of a variety of short comics, text pieces, and artwork. Most of the works are short comics based on Woodring's dreams. Some of the pieces are surreal parodies of advertisements in the Mad tradition.

Gimel is the third letter of the Semitic abjads, including Phoenician Gīml , Hebrew ˈGimel ג, Aramaic Gāmal , Syriac Gāmal ܓ, and Arabic ǧīm ج (in alphabetical order; fifth in spelling order). Its sound value in the original Phoenician and in all derived alphabets, save Arabic, is a voiced velar plosive [ɡ]; in Modern Standard Arabic, it represents has many standards including [ɡ], see below.
In its unattested Proto-Canaanite form, the letter may have been named after a weapon that was either a staff sling or a throwing stick, ultimately deriving from a Proto-Sinaitic glyph based on the hieroglyph below:
The Phoenician letter gave rise to the Greek gamma (Γ), the Latin C and G, and the Cyrillic Г.
Hebrew gimel
Hebrew spelling: גִּימֵל
Bertrand Russell posits that the letter's form is a conventionalized image of a camel. The letter may be the shape of the walking animal's head, neck, and forelegs. Barry B. Powell, a specialist in the history of writing, states "It is hard to imagine how gimel = "camel" can be derived from the picture of a camel (it may show his hump, or his head and neck!)".

The Perhapanauts is an American comic book series created by writer Todd Dezago and artist Craig Rousseau in 2005.
The first two mini-series, "First Blood" and "Second Chances," were published by Dark Horse Comics, although it was announced on October 31, 2007, that forthcoming Perhapanauts comics would be published by Image Comics.
The Image Comics series began with an annual in February 2008, "Jersey Devil", followed by what may either be numerous upcoming mini-series or an ongoing series. The first series is "Triangle" taking the team into the Bermuda Triangle, which starts publication in April 2008.
The story follows a team of supernatural investigators (in that they both investigate the supernatural, and are supernatural beings who investigate) working for Bedlam, a top-secret government agency. The main focus of the stories are on Blue Group, one team of Bedlam operatives.
The members of Blue Group are Arisa Hines, the group's leader who has psychic powers; Big, a Sasquatch whose intelligence has been artificially raised; Choopie, a Chupacabra with a somewhat erratic personality; MG, a mysterious being who appears human but has the power to travel to other dimensions; and Molly MacAllistar, a ghost. Other characters in the series include Joann DeFile, a psychic who works as an adviser for Bedlam; Peter Hammerskold, a former Marine with psychic powers who is the leader of Bedlam's Red Group and sees Blue Group as rivals; the Merrow, a water elemental fairy who works on Red Group; and Karl, a Mothman who is a Bedlam reservist and would like to be a full-time member of Blue Group.

There has been plenty of speculation that the Colorado Avalanche will use the number one pick in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft on defenseman Seth Jones. The chief scout of the Colorado Avalanche, Rick Pracey, thinks that might not be the case.
"The No. 1 spot, it's open," Pracey said, according to the Denver Post. "You know, Nathan MacKinnon and Jonathan Drouin and Alexander Barkov, and you can go into other guys. There are others out there – Sean Monahan, Elias Lindholm – that are very, very interesting players.
Some might argue that drafting a top defenseman like Jones would make more sense for the Avalanche than grabbing another skilled center like MacKinnon. However, it doesn't sound like the Avalanche are going to look at their current roster when deciding who to take.
MacKinnon, Drouin, and Jones are all among the prospects competing in the 2013 Memorial Cup. After that, they'll participate in the NHL Combine on May 27. The Avalanche also plan to visit their homes during the interviewing process.

Saturday Night Live Star Could Be Exiting the Show With New Apple TV+ Series
By Adam Barnhardt - January 31, 2020 04:23 pm EST
As with most things in life, stints on Saturday Night Live are never infinite and more often than not, castmates leave to pursue other opportunities in Hollywood. That could soon be the case with SNL's Cecily Strong, new lead for an upcoming show on Apple's new streaming service. Friday morning, Variety broke the news Strong would appearing in the musical comedy from Despicable Me writer Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio.
In the show — which is still apparently without a name — a fractured couple go on a backpacking trip to find themselves stumble upon a town called Schmigadoon, a magical town where people "act as if they're in a studio musical from the 1940s." They're then stuck in town until they managed to find true love. The show has yet to announce any costars, though Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels — along with Broadway Video partner Andrew Singer — will executive produce.
Strong has been a Saturday Night Live mainstay since 2012, when she joined the cast as a featured player. The comedian was bumped up to repertory status in her sophomore outing and eventually become Weekend Update co-anchor with Seth Meyers, until he was replaced by Colin Jost. Jost and Strong served as anchors for the segment until Michael Che took Strong's spot during Season 40 after the comedian requested to focus on more sketch work.
It should be noted there's also a possibility Strong remains on the Saturday Night Live cast while producing the new Apple show. Fellow castmate Aidy Bryant has been starring in Hulu's Shrill while both Kate McKinnon and Beck Bennett remain repertory players while starring in several Hollywood productions. McKinnon appeared in both Yesterday and Bombshell in 2019 while Bennet is set to play a big role in the much-anticipated Bill & Ted Face the Music threequel later this year.
Saturday Night Live airs on NBC beginning at 11:30/10:30 p.m. Central on Saturdays.

A stylish executive saloon
The BMW 5 Series has it all – class, comfort and driveability.
It's also surprisingly economical to run, depending on your choice of engine. Not to mention impressively quiet at high speeds.
This makes it the perfect package for people who churn out the miles, but also want a car that oozes kudos.
And it's far from being a one-dimensional motorway cruiser. The 5 Series has plenty of power in reserve at lower speeds and shows size isn't an issue when negotiating corners.
Balance of economy and power
When it comes to engines, the 520d diesel stands out. It provides a superb balance of power and economy, so it's an ideal companion if you regularly cover long distances.
The CO2 emissions are comparable to a supermini. But you can enhance those 'green' credentials further by opting for an Efficient Dynamics model. Add the eight-speed automatic gearbox, and it's even more frugal on fuel.
The range's other diesel engines – the 530d and 535d – pack more punch but can't match the 520d's efficiency. There are five petrol options available, from the 520i up to the lightening-quick, twin-turbo V8 M5.
BMWs are known for their handling, and the 5 Series is no different. It's nimble, provides ample grip and, even when you change direction suddenly, remains well balanced. For a car of its size this is some achievement.
This agility means the 5 Series sacrifices some ride comfort at lower speeds. But the 'softer' adaptive suspension (added at a cost) does a good job of ironing out any bumps.
The 5 Series has a great safety record and was awarded five out of five in the Euro NCAP crash test. All versions are fitted with at least six airbags.
Generously spacious
The 5 Series is also generously spacious. Drivers can easily find their ideal position and two passengers should have no trouble getting comfy in the back. The transmission tunnel limits leg room in the central rear position though.
The boot's slightly smaller than average for the 'large executive' class, but it opens widely which helps when packing luggage or shopping.
As you'd expect, the materials and fittings are all top-notch quality. The dashboard and controls are logically laid out and simple to use, while the colour display is crystal clear.
BMW provides a long list of optional equipment, but all models come with sat-nav, xenon headlights, climate control and a CD player.
As a premium executive car, the 5 Series has few rivals. So why not find out for yourself just how good it is.
The ideal large executive car
520d engine is incredibly efficient
Handles like a hatch
Bumpier at lower speeds
Did you know? You can open the 5 Series boot by waving your foot at the sensor under the tailgate – ideal when you have you hands full with heavy shopping.

Sowore: Drama in court as DSS application to take witnesses in camera failed
There was a mild drama at Court 7, Federal High Court, Abuja, as application by the Department of State Services (DSS) counsel, Hassan Liman, to take witnesses in the ongoing trial of Omoyele Sowore, Convener, #RevolutionNow Protest, in camera failed.
Sowore, alongside Olawale Bakare, is charged by the DSS with treasonable felony, money laundering, among others.
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu had, on Oct. 21, adjourned commencement of trial till Nov. 6 and Nov. 7, after varying the bail conditions granted Sowore, and his co-defendant, Bakare.
Justice Ojukwu had granted the order in a ruling on the application for bail variation by the duo.
However, on Wednesday before the commencement of the trial, screen shield was already set up in the court for witnesses to be taken.
But it was dismantled shortly before Justice Ojukwu took her seat.
As soon as court proceeding started, DSS Counsel, Liman, SAN, told the court that the agency was ready to commence the trial based on the order of the court in the last sitting.
However, Counsel to the 1st defendant, Femi Falana, SAN, prayed the court for an adjournment of the matter to enable them perfect the defendants' bail conditions.
Falana, who told the court that the security outfit had made it difficult for them to have access to the defendants to prepare for the trial, said even in court, they were only given less than five minutes to converse with them.
Quoting the law, he said defendants are expected to be given adequate time and facilities for their defence.
Falana hinted that all the bail conditions have been met but they needed time to perfect them.
He also accused the DSS of planning a secret trail for his client.
However, Counsel to the DSS, Liman, SAN, objected to the application for adjournment, saying the defendants counsel had had ample time to perfect the bail conditions and prepare for the trial.
Liman, who disagreed that the DSS had not given them opportunity to meet the defendants, said they were given unrestricted access to them.
Unhappy with Liman's response, Falana told Justice Ojukwu that the prosecution counsel had told him before the commencement of the trial that their witnesses would be taken in camera.
He said Liman's statement was evident with the setting up of screen shield by the witness box close to the judge's door.
According to Falana, I was told that the witnesses will come in through My Lord's door to the screen shield where they will testify.
"They have made arrangement with the deputy chief registrar to take the witnesses on camera without our knowledge.
"This is an ambush. But all of a sudden, the court Clark dismantled the shield," he said.
The lawyer said when Liman discovered that the plan did not, he approached him for a cooperation.
He said the act was meant to embarrass the court and the defendants.
When Justice Ojukwu asked Liman on what transpired, the DSS told the court that an application was made to take the witnesses in camera.
He said though it was not a judicial arrangement, an administrative arrangement was made in that regard through the Deputy Chief Registrar (DCR) of the court, Mr Femi Ekperobe.
Justice Ojukwu, therefore, summoned the DCR to explained why such arrangement was made without the court's knowledge.
Ekperobe, who confirmed the development, told the court that such arrangement is meant for high profile cases.
He said "the prosecution counsel made an application to the effect to which an approval was given in view of high profile nature of the case."
The judge, who was unaware of the arrangement, asked the prosecution counsel "who is in charge of the court?"
Liman, who responded that the judge was in charge of the court, said they would appropriately apply to the court.
Then the DCR was asked to go.
However, Justice Ojukwu, who asked the prosecution counsel to call the first witness, ruled that the court was of the view to commence trial because when the court granted defendants bail in the last adjourned date, the court ordered accelerated hearing on the case.
Liman then read the charges against the defendants.
While he was about to call the 1st witness, Falana objected to the move.
Falana, in response, told the court that the DSS had not served them with the witnesses' statements and the video recordings to enable the defence counsel prepare for the trial contrary to the ACJA Act.
The human rights lawyer, who described the act as plans by the security agency to ambush them, said the DSS was not ready for the trial.
Justice Ojukwu assured that justice would be done in the case despite the decision to continue with the case.
"This court does not condone frivolity. Neither the prosecution nor the defence counsel can control this court.
"The court has final decision whether anyone has made arrangement or not," she said.
Ojukwu said that every trial has a constitutional background.
The judge, therefore, asked if the prosecution counsel had served the defence counsel with the documents and attached the video recordings.
She said the prosecution counsel ought to have served the defendants with all the documents that would assist them in the defence.
The judge, who said it was the right of the defence counsel to request for any document that would assist them, said no one can waste the precious time of the court.
On his part, Liman said there was no legal requirement that required the defence to be served the written statements of witnesses since they would have been served with their names and briefs.
The judge asked if they were not entitled to the documents and Liman gave a yes response.
The DSS counsel, therefore, applied for more time to continue the trial and Falana did not object it.
Justice Ojukwu adjourned the matter till Dec. 5 and Dec. 6 for commencement of trial.

Up to 5,000 people can be expected to attend the festival across the two days.
Funds are being raised to help organisers of an annual festival cover their costs.
Clarence Park hosts the longest-running outdoor free festival in Yorkshire and has done so since 1991, but organisers now admit it is forcing members to help cover the shortfall in running costs.
Kate Honeyman is asking people to donate.
Chairwoman of Wakefield Music Collective, Kate Honeyman, is appealing for people to dig deep ahead of this year's festival on the weekend of July 28 and 29.
She said: "It's increasingly difficult to raise funds and cover the costs.
"We've got some great sponsors, but we've had to fund some of it ourselves and we shouldn't have to do that, we certainly don't make anything from this and it take us at 10 months to organise it each year.
More than 20 bands and artists will be taking to the stage at the Denby Dale Road park across the two days.
Headliners this year are both from Wakefield, with heavy blues-rock band, Piston Broke topping the bill on Saturday, and psychedelic pop outfit The Incredible Magpie Band on the Sunday.
Over the years the festival has attracted some big acts, including 90s Britpop outfit, Dodgy.
Kate said: "People look forward to it every year.
"Our ethos has always been to give music away for free where possible and we want to keep doing that.
"We have re-launched our JustGiving page to reach our budget target.
"We have to pay for utilities and services to be on site like toilets, skips, fencing, first aid provision and security.
"People need to support it to keep it going, even if it's just donating £5 to help.
To donate, log onto www.justgiving.com and search for 'Clarence Park Festival 2018'.

Q: Fastest way to get rich in Grand Theft Auto 4 - Episodes of Liberty city: The ballad of Gay Tony Singleplayer What is the fastest way to get rich in GTA IV: TBOG SingleplayerT? What I do now, is betting on Cage matches. Is there perhaps another way?

A: Betting on and spectating cage matches is indeed the fastest way to make money.  Similar to the OTB horse race trick in San Andreas, the best strategy is to save at the nearby safehouse before you place your bet, and then load the game if you lose.
Since you essentially can't lose, betting all of your money is the way to go.  If you've got a small nest egg of a few thousand, you can very quickly grow it into a few million with this method.

A: Drug wars are also good. I have 13,00 bucks and got RPG, auto sniper rifle, ak47, p90, tons of grenades, auto shotgun,   And desert eagle pistol

A: I do drug wars and a tactic for this is when are near drugs kill ALL people because then more ur shot when u have em the more money goes from mission shoots vital to pick up after the gun shots are over

Q: Is there a way to ad the name of a person from a cell in excel to the body an email template before sending? I am attempting to send an email about mailing addresses to send physics kits to students. The .oft template I am using has the required information regarding posting their physics kits.

Tino Sehgal is internationally renowned for his »constructed situations«, artworks based on the interrelation between their interpreters, the spaces in which they take place, and the audiences of different art institutions. Exploring the boundaries of speech act performativity as well as choreography, dance and song, the artist's immaterial pieces inhabits the interplay between bodily gesture and rhythmic attunement. Sehgal's works leave no material trace, yet are commodities nonetheless to be bought and sold. His aim for an immaterial production is very close to the concept of cognitive capitalism analyzed in the past years by scholars such as the philosopher Paolo Virno. Focusing on some of his most interesting artworks, our contribution proposes an art historical and phenomenological reading of the embodied rhetoric through which Sehgal constructs the social space of his pieces. By inviting the visitors to take part and actively discuss with its interpreters, Sehgal's works enact different spaces of sociality, experimenting with different forms of agreement upon which various understanding of consensus and dissent can be envisaged. Lingering on the multimedia nature of Sehgal's work, our interdisciplinary analysis will shed light on the embodied rhetoric appearing as part of the contemporary immaterial forms of production. Finally, we aim to sketch some of the political potentials of the concept of embodied rhetoric itself.

History of McDermoth
The History of McDermoth
McDermoth School was built in 1930. It is located at 409 North K Street in Aberdeen, Washington. It was in great need of restoration and in 1997, voters in Aberdeen passed a bond to remodel the school. McDermoth reopened the fall of 1998.
Our school was named after Reverend Charles McDermoth. He was an early pioneer and one of the first settlers in Aberdeen. Rev. McDermoth helped to build and develop Aberdeen's first public library.

Q: View with gradient is staying white after setting LayoutParams So I want a stylish gradient look for my app. Therefore I tried to also color the navigation bar with a gradient. I'm getting the height of the bar first and then change the layout params. The color is after resizing white. Has anyone of you an idea why it stays white?
Here you can see how it looks like now

Code
ImageView navBarBackground =
findViewById(R.id.navigationbar_background);
         Resources resources = this.getResources();
         int resourceId = resources.getIdentifier("navigation_bar_height", "dimen", "android");
         if (resourceId > 0) {
             navBarBackground.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(navBarBackground.getWidth(),
 resources.getDimensionPixelSize(resourceId)));
             navBarBackground.setImageResource(R.drawable.gradient_orange);
             navBarBackground.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
         }

I also tried to do it by changing the background. It didnt work out.

How it's supposed to look:

A: TL;DR you have to use MATCH_PARENT for the ImageView width:
navBarBackground.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
                resources.getDimensionPixelSize(resourceId)));

By using navBarBackground.getWidth() you set the width of the ImageButton to zero, so all you see is the window background.
This happens because the ImageView is not yet completely laid out when you evaluate the width in onCreate(). (see also for example this blog post on The Life Cycle of a View in Android)

It's not Malcolm Butler who's bent, but a Super Bowl mystery can be solved.
Todd Gurley, whose use and productivity evaporated in the playoffs to the point where the MVP candidate was replaced by CJ Anderson, could, as suspect, be more banged than Los Angeles slipped.
Gurley had put the last two games in the regular season with an evil left knee and returned to the playoffs and was not on the NFC Championship or Super Bowl injury report. He insisted that he was ok, but his figure tells another story: A combined 14 carries 45 meters against the saints and patriots.
Anderson had to fill the void, and now he explains why.
"[Gurley] was really more evil than what we thought," Anderson said on FS1's "" Undisputed "Tuesday ." The damage was a little more than what everyone in the building thought, including himself. "
Anderson said while Gurley never informed him of the injury, he thought it was a sprained knee.
" Obviously the same knee injury he had previously had in his career, "Anderson said "Of course I had surgery on my meniscus and when you have a knee [injury] you always have a knee [injury]. So it gets worse and he got a lot of details earlier this year – of course he was one of the best rumors that was probably the case. "
It's not the same account that Ram's coach Sean McVay gave after the 13-3 Super Bowl loss, where Gurley rushed for 35 yards in 10 carries.
" Todd is healthy, "McVay said." We have just got a chance to get someone to go offensive and it starts with me. "

Abstract: New formulae are obtained for the corrections to the asymptotics of the integral according to the stationary phase method. To this end the WKB approximation for the Schrödinger equation is used. The residual term for the asymptotical series over the small parameter powers representing the expansion of the integral of quickly oscillating functions, is obtained.

Film No 21(2014) : Philomena
Apr 14, 2014 Jan 2, 2015 inthenickioftime2 Comments
Unmarried Philomena is forced into a religious institution when her pregnancy is discovered. Made to work in the laundry, she is only allowed to spend an hour a day with the son she named Anthony. When the child is three years old, he is forcibly taken from her. She has no idea where he has gone; the last she sees of him is his face in the back window of a departing car. Philomena Lee never hears from him again. All she has is a single photograph of her boy.
Years later an out-of-work BBC journalist, Martin Sixsmith, agrees to take up her story, help her find her son. His intention is to publish the story as a 'human-interest' feature. The ensuing search for Antony takes Philomena and Martin to the USA, to the White House, and back to Ireland.
It's a heart-breaking film, but not a sad one. The dialogue between Martin (Steve Coogan) and Philomena (Judi Dench) is funny. She comes from a small Irish town and he has seen the sights of the world. She is unworldly but wise; he is experienced but pig-headed. Together they give and take. Their relationship develops into a poignant one, as Martin begins to care not just about his newspaper feature, but about the real journey.
The most devastating thing about this film is that the story is true. It is a deeply affecting portrayal of an injustice which was committed against many Philomenas. I hope the film helps to raise the profile of their dilemma, so they can sleep more peacefully at night, knowing what happened to their children. You can find out more about the ongoing work and sign a petition to make it easier for mothers and children to find one another, via the Philomena Project.

Q: Regression model for country-year level data I have a data set which includes country-years and I am interested in modeling founding and mortality for corporations in each country-year. I am interested in within- as well as between-country differences of predictors such as GDP, education, population, geographical location, etc. What type of models would you recommend that would get at the above? NOTE: Most foundings research uses negative binomial or Poisson regression but the data are usually focused in one geographical area, unlike my case.

A: Given the additional information you've provided, I think you can use one of three approaches:  (1) generalized estimating equations (GEE), (2) a mixed effects generalized regression model, or (3) a fixed-effects regression model. GEE essentially treats the variance as a nuisance parameter and you simply use it to estimate the response for a unit change in the predictor, averaged over the entire population.  This is a good approach when you have no real interested in the correlation between to responses (which it doesn't seem to be of any use to you).  The mixed model approach is used to estimate the response for a unit change in the predictor for a specific subject (country).  I don't want to repeat what others have already described in terms of the differences between the two, so look here for additional details on the differences between GEE and mixed models.  To gain a better understanding of the within-country differences only, I would also encourage you to look into something generally called "fixed-effects" models, from the economics literature (not my field).  These models essentially allow you to control for all time-invariant characteristics of the subjects, thereby reducing bias.  Check out [Fixed Effects Regression Methods for Longitudinal Data Using SAS][2] by Paul Allison as a good introduction.
Within your models, I think you will want to use a Poisson or Negative Binomial function.  It's difficult to say which without seeing your data.  I'd recommend you start with a Poisson model and look at the overdispersion statistics to see if a Poisson model is plausible given them.  If not, use a more complex negative binomial.  You may even need to use zero-inflated Poisson or regression models, depending on your data.  I generally recommend starting off simple and then working your way to more complex models as needed.


It's happened to me; I know it's happened to you too. Someone we loved and depended on is no longer here. Or something we counted on didn't happen. Or maybe we've gotten exactly what we wanted and realized it wasn't what we thought it was at all.
We didn't make a Plan B, nor do we have any interest in one for that matter. We rail against the unfairness of it all, the fact that all our efforts at building a life with this person, this job, this house, this move, etc., seem to be for nothing. And yet despite the pain of loss, of adversity, when I think about everything that is good in my life, all of it happened because of an unanticipated loss or change.
Let's be clear: finding meaning after loss does not justify a death. When death takes a loved one, it's especially hard to imagine that there will ever be good in life again. Sometimes grief takes us to a place where we simply don't care about anything. And yet when the shaking is done, what is left can never be taken away.
How has adversity affected you?

It is an amendment to the County Employees Retirement Law of 1937 (Section 22212.5 of the Education Code, Sections 20098 and 31528 of the Government Code, with the addition of Sections 7508.5, 7513.8, 7513.85, 7513.9, and 7513.95 to the Government Code), which prohibits a member or employee of a retirement board from becoming an endorser, surety, or obligor on, or from having any personal interest in the making of an investment for the board, or in the gains or profits that accrue from those investments, except as specified. That law also prohibits a member or employee of a retirement board or board of investments from selling or providing any investment product that would be considered an asset of the retirement fund to a retirement system established under that law.
The new bill deletes the absurd qualification that the person have served in that position for less than 5 years. The bill adds a postemployment restriction, which already applies to state pension funds, and requires retirement boards to develop and implement a policy requiring the disclosure of payments to placement agents. Then any placement agent who violates this policy may not solicit new investments from the system for 5 years after the violation was committed. And each placement agent has to disclose to the board all campaign contributions made by the placement agent to any elected member of the board, and all gifts given to any member of the board, during the prior 24-month period, and to disclose any subsequent campaign contribution or gift made during the time the placement agent is receiving compensation in connection with a retirement system investment.
This is a response to the problems that have arisen in New York state and elsewhere (see blog post  from this May).
In Los Angeles, the result of this new law has meant the resignation of some pension board members, according to a recent article in the Los Angeles Times . Although he is a film producer, one board member who resigned acts as a consultant to an investment firm that invests some of his board's pension funds. A second member of the L.A. board left due to the new state law, two other board members resigned in May after receiving inquiry letters from the Securities and Exchange Commission (one, the board's chair, is a past president of the California Public Employees' Retirement System), and another resigned after violating a city campaign finance law.
For another approach to pension board ethics reform, affecting some municipal pension funds, see the Illinois Municipal League's summary  of Illiinois' 2009 Pension Ethics Reform Law , which includes disclosure, conflict, and ethics training provisions.


Can I be a member of more than one investment network?
Yes, absolutely. We believe that by investors joining several networks they are comfortable with and entrepreneurs raising funds through multiple channels, more investments will be filled, meaning more start-ups can operate.


This lovely urban chic lady is one of the newest designs that has made her debut in the Etsy store .
One side of the bag.
This tropical lady has a little burlap sass going on to go with the patterned textures that I silkscreened.
Today is the day that I tackle the receipts for taxes, almost everything is filed into their groups, I just have to start totaling the little buggers. Hopefully I'll get a break so I can go back to the fun stuff of photographing the pile of new inventory for the store. Then I have come up with some new fun design ideas that I would like to get started on, their quite different from the work that I have been doing lately, but none the less exciting.
I have a date with a calculator who's calling me.
