Powell v. State
437 N.E.2d 969 (1982)
Harold Lee POWELL, Appellant, v. STATE of Indiana, Appellee.
No. 681S176.
Supreme Court of Indiana.
Walter E. Bravard, Jr., Indianapolis, for appellant.
Linley E. Pearson, Atty. Gen., Aimee L. Kolze, Deputy Atty. Gen., Indianapolis, for appellee.
*970 DeBRULER, Justice.
Appellant was convicted of murder, Ind. Code § 35-42-1-1(1) and sentenced to imprisonment for forty years. On appeal he raises the following issues:
(1) Error in the trial court's determination of the admissibility of a statement made by appellant to police.
(2) Sufficiency of evidence to show a knowing or intentional killing.
The body of Ms. Janelle Cannon was discovered in her apartment by the overseer of the building. She was lying face up on a couch with a blanket over her face. Her dress had been pulled up above her waist. Her legs were spread wide apart and her panties had been ripped off. The cause of death was found to be suffocation. Appellant stated to the police that he had been in the apartment and had placed his hand and then a blanket over her face to quiet her when she began screaming, and that when she had stopped moving and appeared to be asleep, he had sexual relations with her.
After having been arrested at 2:00 a.m. appellant was taken to the police station and interrogated by Detective Jonnie Layton, and admitted assaulting Ms. Cannon in her apartment.
At trial the State called Detective Layton as a witness and he related reading appellant a warning of rights and appellant's signing a waiver form prior to the start of interrogation. The detective questioned him until 6:00 a.m. During this time he gave several different versions of events and gave the one admitted at trial over objection at the end of the period. The witness stated that he smelled alcoholic beverage on his breath, but that he was definitely not drunk and was very alert. He spoke in a low tone, but did not have slurred speech. He was given time to read and consider the waiver before signing it. He had an eleventh grade education and could read and write although with some difficulty. He was an alcoholic. At the time he signed the waiver he knew that the police had been looking for him for killing the victim. He had several prior felony convictions.
Upon the issue of the admissibility of appellant's station house statement being raised, the burden fell upon the State to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that prior to the statement appellant waived his right to counsel and the privilege against self-incrimination and that the statement thereafter following was voluntary. The claim of erroneous admission is to be resolved on appeal by examination of the evidence tending to support the determination of the trial court that the waiver of rights and the statement were knowingly and intelligently made and were not "induced by any violence, threats, promises, or other improper influence." Montes v. State, (1975) 263 Ind. 390, 332 N.E.2d 786.
An express written or oral waiver of rights is "not inevitably either necessary or sufficient to establish waiver." North Carolina v. Butler, (1979) 441 U.S. 369, 99 S. Ct. 1755, 60 L. Ed. 2d 286; Dickerson v. State, (1972) 257 Ind. 562, 276 N.E.2d 845. The written waiver here was signed a few minutes after appellant first arrived at the station. Appellant points out that he was roused from sleep about one-half hour before the waiver was given, that he had been drinking all day and all night, that he had problems reading and writing, and was an inexperienced criminal defendant. Giving due regard to these assertions as reflecting historical fact, the trial court was nevertheless warranted in concluding from all of the material evidence bearing on the question, including the testimony of Detective Layton, described above, that appellant was nevertheless unimpaired in his cognitive faculties and ability to exert his will. There is no inference suggested that appellant succumbed in giving the waiver to a form of coercion, threat, or improper influence by the police. The determination that appellant waived his Miranda rights voluntarily and intelligently is supported by sufficient evidence.
*971 About three hours after waiving rights, appellant gave his confession. He at first gave several exculpatory statements, but under continued interrogation, which included the pointing out of inconsistencies in these statements by the interrogator, he relented and gave the challenged confession, in which he admitted assaulting the victim by holding a blanket over her mouth, but steadfastly disclaimed any intent to harm or kill her, but only sought to quiet her screaming at him to remove his friend from her apartment, and to stem the confusion which she was causing.
In support of this claim, appellant asserts that in addition to being inexperienced, tired, and intoxicated, he was subjected at the station to coercion in the form of psychological techniques employed by the interrogator. As before, the trier of fact was warranted in believing the testimony of Detective Layton that appellant was unimpaired by his previous consumption of alcohol, his having been awakened and arrested in the middle of the night, and his inexperience with serious interrogation. The technique of the interrogator was to express disbelief in the version of events given by appellant, and then continue questioning in order to "aid" appellant in finding the "truth". There was present, also, testimony of the detective that he offered appellant the use of a restroom and water, and that at one point in the interrogation gave him a cup of coffee. The interrogator reminded him during the period that he could stop answering questions at any time. In circumstances such as these the suspect chooses to pit himself against the interrogator and to "tough it out," and as is often the case, ends up giving a full confession. When the interrogator limits his questioning to assertions of disbelief, and to pointing out obvious inconsistencies and absurdities, a subsequent confession is not necessarily rendered involuntary. In a similar situation in Montes v. State, supra, we said:
"Appellants freely chose to relinquish their right to remain silent and chose to subject themselves to the verbal inquiries of the police. So long as verbal inquiries involve no threats, promises, falsehoods, or the like, but are direct statements probing the suspect's knowledge of relevant events, including inconsistencies in answers given, they do not, without additional circumstances indicating compulsion result in involuntary divulgence of information." 263 Ind. at 402, 332 N.E.2d 786.
The case often is, as it is here, that the suspect, when faced with the resistance of the interrogator to his statements and his own belief that those statements are really not tenable, makes a choice to confess which is "freely self-determined." Shotwell Manufacturing Co. v. United States, (1963) 371 U.S. 341, 83 S. Ct. 448, 9 L. Ed. 2d 357. Cf. Rhode Island v. Innis, (1980) 446 U.S. 291, 100 S. Ct. 1682, 64 L. Ed. 2d 297. The conclusion required here on appeal is that the trier of fact was warranted in concluding that the employment of these techniques of questioning, for a period of three hours, under these circumstances did not rise to coercion or improper influence, and that the confession was beyond a reasonable doubt voluntarily given. There was therefore no error in its admission at trial.
Appellant contends that the evidence presented at trial was insufficient to sustain the verdict of the jury that he had knowingly or intentionally killed. The State was under the duty of proving that appellant acted either knowingly or intentionally as defined by Ind. Code § 35-41-2-2.
"Sec. 2. (a) A person engages in conduct `intentionally' if when he engages in the conduct, it is his conscious objective to do so. (b) A person engages in conduct `knowingly' if, when he engages in the conduct, he is aware of a high probability that he is doing so."
The State must also prove that the conduct engaged in caused death. Such conduct must be a direct and efficient cause of death. Miller v. State, (1975) 263 Ind. 595, 335 N.E.2d 206.
*972 There is ample evidence from which to infer the requisite state of mind. Three or four days before the attack, the victim had appellant's clothes removed from her apartment and he said that he would get even with her for doing so. In his confession, he admitted placing his hand and the blanket over her mouth, and persisted in this conduct against her physical resistance until she no longer moved. From this evidence the jury was warranted in concluding beyond a reasonable doubt that the conduct was accompanied by the requisite knowledge.
There is likewise ample evidence that appellant's conduct in attacking this woman caused her death. The pathologist testified that in his opinion she died of suffocation. The victim's upper dentures were located in the back of the mouth during his examination, and police at the scene placed the dentures in the area at the back of the throat. The victim had a great deal of alcohol in her blood and additional alcohol in her stomach. From this evidence the jury was warranted in concluding beyond a reasonable doubt that the process which prevented air from reaching the lungs of the victim was commenced when appellant placed the blanket over her mouth and was sustained by his continuing to hold the blanket in that position through the application of force. That this force also knocked the victim's dentures down her throat at some time in the process, thereby restricting air to the lungs, and that the victim was in a weakened condition due to her consumption of alcohol throughout the process, does not, as argued by appellant, demonstrate the lack of direct connection between his conduct and her death.
The conviction is affirmed.
GIVAN, C.J., and HUNTER, PRENTICE and PIVARNIK, JJ., concur.
of Supreme Court of Indiana opinions.

Q: does not Core Data Automatically take care with inverse relationships I have 3 entities like this:

sorry that this image has a problem that the "day" relationship of "Week" entity should be to-many, there should be 2 arrows on the end of the relationship
now here comes 2 questions.
1st. For any Day-Class (Customized subclass of NSManagedObject) objects, after I take care about its relationships like:
Week* aWeek;
Day *aDay;
[aWeek addDayObject:aDay];

then I can truely find the Day through the Week Entity's relationship "day",
but inversely, I found that the relationship "thisWeek" of the Day object "aDay" is still nil.
I've heard that after you creat your subclass of NSMangedObject, you got methods like
- (void)addXXXObject:(xxx)xxx

to help you deal with to-many relationships and would automatically take care with the inverse relationship.
but here it seems not. So do I have to deal with the inverse relationship by my self,
or if core data does provide, how can I make it automatically add the object on the inverse relationship?
2nd. Suppose there are many "Day"s with one "Week", connected by their relationship,
what I want is , everytime the user delete one of the Days, we check whether if the Week still has some Days in relationship,
if it does, just let the user delete that Day,
if not, we also delete the "Week" object.
So what Delete Rule of the to-many relationship should I use?
I'm not so clear with these rules..
Thanks!

A: CoreData should actually take care of the inverse relationship as long a you defined it in both entities. See here.
I would use nullify delete rule for the day->week relationship and cascade for week->day.
When you delete the week, all days associated with it would get deleted too.
When you delete a day, it will be removed from the week's days. You cannot auto-delete the week when it has no days anymore. You can, however, observe the the week's days and delete self if self.days.count == 0.

Q: error_message partial getting a NameError: undefined local variable or method `object' I've researched this error but I'm not able to resolve this issue.
Here is _micropost_form.html.erb:
<%= form_for @micropost do |f| %>
  <%= render partial: 'shared/error_messages', object: f.object %>

    <%= f.text_field :content, placeholder: " Caption..." %>

  <%= f.submit "Post", class: "btn btn-primary" %>

    <%= f.file_field :picture %>

<% end %>

Here is _error_messages.html.erb
<% if object.errors.any? %>

      The form contains <%= pluralize(object.errors.count, "error") %>.

    <% object.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>

<%= msg %>

    <% end %>

<% end %>

Here is microposts_controller
def new
  @micropost = current_user.microposts.build
  @feed_items = current_user.feed.paginate(page: params[:page])
end

A: A couple thoughts:
Does f.object have a value?
Also - try something like this for passing object to the partial:
<%= render partial: 'shared/error_messages', :locals => {:object => f.object} %>

A:
NameError: undefined local variable or method `object'

You can render a partial in two ways, render and render partial:. But when you are using partial:, you need to send the variables in the locals: hash. So this won't work
<%= render partial: 'shared/error_messages', object: f.object %>

It should be
<%= render partial: 'shared/error_messages', locals: {object: f.object} %>

Or without the partial: key
<%= render 'shared/error_messages', object: f.object %>

A: You can change your code below
<%= render partial: 'shared/error_messages', object: f.object %>

into
<%= render partial: 'shared/error_messages', object: f.object %>

I hope this help you.

What AI has to say about Psychedelics
It's what everyone on the internet is talking about this week. ChatGPT is making a splash with some compelling AI generated conversations. We decided to see what it has to say about Psychedelics:
Us: Tell me a story in the style of robin hood about king Arthur and the knights of the round table eating magic mushrooms
ChatGPT:
Once upon a time, in the kingdom of Camelot, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table were known for their bravery and chivalry. But one day, they stumbled upon a patch of magic mushrooms while out on a hunt.
Unable to resist the temptation, the knights and their king sampled the mysterious mushrooms and were immediately transported to a fantastical world of vibrant colors and surreal landscapes. As they wandered through this magical realm, they encountered all manner of wondrous creatures, from talking animals to enchanted beings.
The knights were entranced by the beauty and strangeness of this place, and they forgot all about their duties back in Camelot. They spent days exploring and reveling in the delights of the mushroom world, losing all sense of time and responsibility.
But eventually, the effects of the mushrooms began to wear off, and the knights found themselves back in the real world, unsure of how much time had passed. They were filled with regret for neglecting their duties, and they vowed to never again indulge in such reckless behavior.
However, the experience had changed them in ways they could not have anticipated. They returned to Camelot with a newfound appreciation for the beauty and magic of the world around them, and they became even more determined to protect the kingdom and its people.
As for King Arthur, he was humbled by the experience and realized that even the mightiest of rulers are not immune to temptation. He vowed to use his power wisely and to always put the needs of his people before his own.
And so, the knights continued to uphold their vows and serve the kingdom of Camelot, forever changed by their encounter with the magic mushrooms.
Us: Write some limericks about drinking kava
There once was a man from Vanuatu
Who loved to drink kava, oh so true
He'd sit with his friends
And the night never ends
Till they're feeling all mellow and blue
They'd laugh and they'd joke and they'd share
Till the kava bowl's empty, they'd stare
But they'll fill it right up
And their worries will all be gone
As they sip on their kava with care.
So if you're feeling stressed or down
And you need to unwind and relax
Just grab a bowl of kava
And let the good times flow
Till you're feeling happy and back on track.
Us: Write an assessment of the novel Moby Dick that explains the story as the result of a psychedelic trip.
Moby Dick is a novel by Herman Melville that tells the story of a sailor named Ishmael who becomes obsessed with hunting down a great white whale named Moby Dick. The novel is often considered a classic of American literature, and it has been praised for its complex characters and rich symbolism.
One interesting interpretation of the novel is that it can be seen as a description of a psychedelic trip. In this view, Ishmael's obsession with Moby Dick can be seen as a metaphor for the pursuit of transcendent experiences, and the whale itself can be seen as a symbol of the ultimate goal of this pursuit - a state of enlightenment or oneness with the universe.
Throughout the novel, Ishmael and the other sailors encounter a number of strange and surreal experiences that can be interpreted as hallucinations or altered states of consciousness. For example, they encounter a ghost ship, a giant squid, and a hallucinatory white whale that seems to be both real and surreal at the same time.
These experiences can be seen as representing the various stages of a psychedelic trip, from the initial rush of excitement and anticipation, to the depths of despair and confusion, to the ultimate moment of transcendence and realization.
Ultimately, the novel can be seen as a commentary on the human quest for transcendence and enlightenment, and the dangers and challenges that come along with this pursuit. It is a powerful and thought-provoking story that continues to resonate with readers to this day.

The Domain That Brings People Together.
The .org Domain
As one of the iconic and original domains of the Internet, .org has been shaped by the global community as the open space to express opinions, spread knowledge, and advocate causes. Whether you have a brilliant idea to share, a passion to express, a new mission to spread worldwide, or a burning desire to unite and motivate a group of people – the .org domain has always been the domain extension to communicate trust, credibility, and community interest.
Why choose .org?
For Your Values
Since its inception in 1985, .org has empowered and mobilized over 10 million websites, serving as a reliable online venue for organisations, companies, clubs, and individuals to communicate with their core audiences about a shared interest, passion or cause.
For Your Nonprofit
Your organisation inspires people to make a difference, but getting the word out isn't always easy. That's why the .org domain has been a haven for nonprofits and do-good organisations for decades. It has helped reshape the online world by advancing causes, creating opportunities, and making our communities more open and collaborative.
Research from Harris Interactive shows that the average adult Internet user now spends about 13 hours a week online, with roughly 22.7% of their time on Facebook, Twitter and other social media. The rise in social media has undoubtedly contributed to an increase in online engagement; however, studies show that when users are looking for immediate information about a company, individual, or cause that affects their community, the website is still the preferred go-to destination. So what kind of information can a .org website provide? The opportunities are endless. .org is the domain of choice for a wide range of community organisation categories, including arts and culture, sports and recreation, health and medical, education and religion, and much more.
In an age where corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs and crisis management planning are on the rise and more transparent, .org stands as the natural domain of choice for businesses – both large and small – to highlight their philanthropic endeavors, strengthen their customer relationships in times of crisis and calm, and to illustrate their commitment to encouraging and making a positive societal impact to their current and potential stakeholders.
For Your World
The content of a .org website can appear in any language, but domain names have generally been limited to the characters used in English. .org domain names are available in a variety of character sets, so that characters like á, ç, è, ñ, and ö can be part of your .org domain name.
There are no restrictions on who can register .org domain name, It can be registered by any individual or business in any country.
What document is required for this domain extension?
No document is required
3 to 63 characters. For Chinese IDN, minimum of 1 / maximum of 14 characters (native characters) allowed.
No, .org domain name can't be deleted after registration.
Yes, we provide IDN registration for this extension. Please login your control panel and find out the languages supported for this TLD's registration.

I thought they celebrate with glue and solder
The new iMac main board is what, 1/3 of the previous one? 1/10 of the one of the 2010 iMac?
I would say that's a great improvement. A replacement part in an old iMac is almost as big as the new iMac entire board.

All imported UK caravans need to be converted to NZ standards, this generally involves the changing of wall sockets and the RCD, the earth often needs up-grading and occasionally wiring needs to be replaced.
This must all be carried out by a qualified electrician and checked off by an electrical inspector, (not all electricians will work on caravans) a 4 yr electric warrant (EWoF) is then issued which must be renewed after 4 years, renewal is a lot simpler than initial conversion as it is just a check to make sure everything is ok.
A sticker will be placed in the window with the expiry date on – campgrounds are supposed to check you have a current EWoF before you can connect to power.
If you undertake any work on your van you must have that certified by an electrician or it could void your insurance if you need to make a claim.
All our caravans have had this done and are sold with a current EWoF.
On an insurance note its also worth knowing that you cant just plug your caravan into a house 10amp socket, this is because the caravan has a 16amp mains RCD to technically it could overload the 10amp socket and burn your house down hence voiding your house insurance as well as the caravan!
We can however supply an adapter lead with a built in 10amp RCD to make everything simple for you.
If you need any electrical work doing on your caravan than we can arrange a caravan friendly electrician to undertake the work.

Adam Fairhall
The Imaginary Delta
A fascinating patchwork of ancient and modern.The merging of different jazz and blues styles and of divergent technologies is seamlessly done and the album represents a remarkably coherent whole.
(Slam Records SLAMCD 289)
This excellent album by Manchester based pianist and composer Adam Fairhall was released in May on George Haslam's Slam label but with Fairhall due to bring his group to London to perform this material at the 2012 London Jazz Festival in November the time seemed right for me to take a rather belated look at it.
I know Fairhall's playing through his work with fellow Mancunians Matthew Halsall (trumpet) and Nat Birchall (saxophones), he appears on Halsall's "On The Go" and Birchall's "Sacred Dimensions", both of which have been reviewed elsewhere on this site. He has also been part of Halsall's touring line up.
But there's more to Fairhall than just his sideman role. He also works as a solo pianist and runs a trio featuring Tim Fairhall (bass, presumably his brother although I'm not totally certain of this)) and drummer Gaz Hughes. The seeds for "The Imaginary Delta" project would appear to stem from his duo with electronics artist Paul J. Rogers who provides samples of 1920's blues recordings which Fairhall then merges with more contemporary musical influences such as the piano stylings of McCoy Tyner. Their album "Second Hand Blues" was released on ASC Records in 2011.See Fairhall's website http://www.adamfairhall.co.uk for further information on this and his other projects.
"The Imaginary Delta" grew out of his experiments with Rogers and was commissioned by the 2011 Manchester Jazz Festival. The album was recorded live at the city's Band on the Wall venue on 26th July 2011 and features an expanded line up of Fairhall on piano plus the horns of James Allsopp on clarinets, Chris Bridges on trombone and jug, and Steve Chadwick, leader of cult Manchester band the Magic Hat Ensemble, on trumpet. His regular trio colleagues Tim Fairhall (bass) and Gaz Hughes (drums) complete the rhythm team with Rogers acting as the wild card contributing the modern musical accessories of laptop, electronic processing and turntables alongside arcane instruments such as the diddley bow and novelty items including chains and pepper grinder. In this sense he's a kind of Leafcutter John figure. Steve Mead, the Artistic Director of Manchester jazz festival spoke of Fairhall's ambition to "draw upon the early language of jazz and make it speak to us in the 21st century". Acclaim for the festival performance and subsequent live album (the latter mixed on an analogue desk to preserve the warmth of the live sound) has been virtually unanimous resulting in an invitation to bring this music to the capital as part of the 2012 LJF.
"The Imaginary Delta" is a suite in six parts that blends Rogers' early blues sources with the writing of Fairhall. Sampled sounds are merged with real time instruments to create a fascinating patchwork of ancient and modern. Opener "Baptist Prayer Meeting" contains a sample of George "Bullet" Williams "Middlin' Blues" and features Rogers on diddley bow (now you know where Mr. McDaniel got his stage name from) alongside the more conventional jazz instrumentation. The piece grows out of Rogers' samples and diddley bow to embrace a more contemporary modal sound with rich, deep bass clarinet voicings from Allsopp and Tyner style piano from Adam Fairhall. The sound generated by the three horns is pleasingly full and the piece eventually concludes with a passage of solo piano.
"Sedalia Rag" combines the rhythms and syncopations of ragtime with more contemporary free jazz leanings. Rogers' electronic whooshes and bleeps contrast nicely with the more conventional jazz instrumentation in a series of free jazz exchanges informed by the spirit of the past. There's a prolonged passage for the trio of the Fairhalls and Hughes with Tim's muscular bass stalking Adam's piano as the chatter of Hughes' drums provides both punctuation and comment. When the horns return the piece becomes more obviously a "rag", albeit one filtered through the prism of Charles Mingus and the whole sixties free jazz movement.
"Arabian Fantasy" includes a highly effective sample of Ivy Smith singing Cow Cow Davenport's "Cincinnati Southern Blues" which is grafted seamlessly onto a seductive, undulating modal theme. Allsopp's subtly bluesy clarinet solo, Bridges' growling trombone and Chadwick's slow burning trumpet feature then evoke the spirit of New Orleans but in a wholly contemporary setting.
"Tutwiler Train Stomp" begins with spooky free jazz sounds but Fairhall's piano gradually leads the piece into an exuberant romp with some terrific horn interplay, Chadwick's brassy trumpet contrasting superbly Allsopp's woody low register bass clarinet. The horns also get the chance to solo at length with Allsopp going first sketching sinuously mesmerising bass clarinet lines above the propulsive rhythms of bassist Tim Fairhall and drummer Gaz Hughes. Bridges then rasps away fruitily on trombone before Fairhall brings it all home with some torrential piano runs. The solos are punctuated by squalling collective passages and the piece eventually fades away to end as mysteriously as it began. Quite a railroad trip.
Not surprisingly "Victoria Spivey" features the sampled voice of the lady in question singing "Nightmare Blues". The piece begins with the crackle of Rogers' electrics and a sound like ghostly pump organ, perhaps meant to simulate the steam whistles of the Mississippi river boats. Fairhall's piano delicately wanders around these atmosphere setting effects before settling into an authentic blues pattern onto which the disembodied voice of Spivey is superimposed. Chadwick's trumpet slurs and growls offer suitable embellishment and the other horns are subsequently added to the mix. The band keep the blues mood going after Spivey is faded out with Chadwick and Allsopp on bass clarinet contributing pithy statements. There's also an extended solo bass feature for the consistently excellent Tim Fairhall who later enters into dialogue with Bridges with Chadwick, Allsopp and Hughes later joining in as the blues edges closer to free jazz. Adam Fairhall picks up the blues baton again with a solo piano feature that embraces a number of jazz and blues styles. The ghost of Victoria Spivey then returns to sing us out.
The closing "Harlem Fast Shout" sees the group tearing it up in uproarious fashion beginning in Cotton Club era Ellington style before veering off into a free jazz squall and back again. The mood is exuberant and playful with trumpeter Chadwick's fiery opening solo an undoubted highlight.
"The Imaginary Delta" is a superbly realised project with Adam Fairhall as the fulcrum but all the musicians involved play well and make significant contributions. The merging of different jazz and blues styles and of divergent technologies is seamlessly done and the entiree album represents a remarkably coherent whole. Fairhall is to be congratulated for his vision which blends his extensive knowledge of jazz and blues styles with strong compositional skills to present an entity which is entirely convincing. "The Imaginary Delta" conjures up the ghosts of not only of the musicians sampled on the soundtrack but also those of Ellington, Mingus, Tyner, Ayler and more and (to paraphrase Steve Mead) makes their spirits speak to a 21st century jazz audience.
Adam Fairhall's The Imaginary Delta will play at The Vortex, Gillett Square, Dalston, London at 8.30 pm on Monday November 12th 2012 as part of the London Jazz Festival. Support will come from Tom Challenger's Brass Mask Octet.

Knowledge is power and nowhere does this hold more truth than in investing. Clearly, investing in silver and gold will help protect your assets in the event of a currency collapse. While many people claim this can't happen, there are just as many signs pointing to it as a serious possibility. If global currency collapse does occur, you will need to have some form of wealth protection in place that not only ensures you are protecting the value of your assets but can also be converted into everyday items you will need. That's why it's best to have something of value to trade and nothing is more valuable than investment gold and silver bullions. Once currency collapses, the majority of your paper investments, including stocks, futures and options and so on and so forth, become virtually useless. This is why you need to make sure that you have plenty of investment gold and silver in your portfolio.

Heavy storms possible Thursday
1 year 8 months 6 days ago Thursday, May 14 2020 May 14, 2020 May 14, 2020 6:31 AM May 14, 2020 in News
Source: WBRZ Weather
By: Chief Meteorologist Dr. Josh Eachus
A stretch of unsettled weather is ahead for Louisiana and Mississippi. Scattered to widespread showers and thunderstorms are anticipated over the next couple of afternoons.
THE FORECAST:
Today and Tonight: Compared to Wednesday, Thursday will be much more active in terms of showers and thunderstorms. Coverage will ramp up from "scattered and mainly west of I-55" yesterday to widespread today. After highs reach the upper 70s and low 80s during the late morning hours, precipitation will develop and drift from south to north across the area. Thunderstorms will be capable of gusty wind and downpours. Some areas, especially from the I-10/12 corridor south to the coast, could receive a few inches of rain leading to street and poor drainage flooding. Please remember to find an alternate route if you encounter a flooded road. Activity will be slow to wane during the evening hours but will gradually translate to the coast by morning as lows barely dip into the upper 60s.
Up Next: Through the weekend, highs will be in the mid 80s and lows will be near 70. Daytime warming and availability of Gulf moisture will allow scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms Friday and to a lesser extent Saturday and Sunday. Overall, the weekend rain forecast is tricky. In addition to that typical "pop-up" activity, an upper level storm system could drive a line of storms through the area on Saturday or Sunday, but the timing or strength of that feature is not yet clear. Stay tuned for updates. A cold front will pass through the region early next week, restoring drier conditions and near average temperatures.
It has been a while since we talked about those rain chances, or percentages on the forecast board often seen during the warm season. Here is a quick reminder about what those mean for the WBRZ Weather 13 Parish, 3 County forecast area.
10-30% - Isolated: a few locations receive measurable rain
30-60% - Scattered: part to half of the area receives measurable rain
60-100% - Widespread: almost all of the area receives measurable rain
Keep in mind, those chances tell nothing about timing. For instance, 100% DOES NOT mean it will rain all day. We will be sure to provide information in our forecasts as to when you can expect rain when chances are on the board. MORE: https://www.wbrz.com/news/a-chance-to-remember
The Tropics: An area of low pressure is expected to develop this weekend northeast of the Bahamas. By that time, the environment is expected to be favorable for some gradual development, and a subtropical depression or storm is likely to form. The system will move northeastward over the western Atlantic from there. Pre-season storms are not that unusual. In fact, the last 5 season have all had a named storm before June 1. If this system gets a name, it will be Arthur.
The Mississippi River: At Baton Rouge, The Mississippi River has fallen into moderate flood stage with a level of 38.6' as of Thursday morning. The river is expected to continue falling over the next two weeks. The high water is primarily an issue for river traffic and industry on the west side of the river, although some river island inundation will continue as well. The city of Baton Rouge and the main LSU campus are protected by levees at these levels.
THE EXPLANATION:
On Thursday and Friday, persistent onshore flow and cooler temperatures aloft will lead to an active marine breeze and daytime warming cycle of showers and thunderstorms. As you know, these thunderstorms are rarely "severe" but can be attention getting with downpours, frequent lightning and gusty wind. Especially on Thursday, the atmosphere will have above average moisture and ample instability so that thunderstorms can develop earlier, become heavy and persist through the day. Due to these ingredients and support from high-resolution models for widespread heavy storms, the Weather Prediction Center has mentioned a 1 out of 4 risk for excessive rainfall Thursday. By the weekend, the atmosphere is expected to warm a bit, creating more stability, and therefore more difficulty for showers and thunderstorms to develop. Still, isolated coverage is still expected during the afternoon hours as thermometers warm into the upper 80s and the sea breeze kicks into gear. We had been monitoring the potential for a stalling upper level low pressure system to create a concentrated area of unsettled weather along portions of the central or western Gulf Coast Sunday and Monday. However, the latest information suggests that system will actually become more progressive and instead drive a line of convection across portions of the Gulf Coast over the weekend. Forecast models are having difficulty resolving when that happens, but the late Saturday, Sunday time period is being monitored. Beyond Sunday, there is now a good chance that the area will receive a punch of drier air thanks to the aforementioned upper level low driving a cold front through the region.

Yeah but they spend tons on yapping about "who is David Miscavige?" and then droning on about how he spearheaded the unprecedented expansion, blah, blah, blah. But nothing about Ron the fucktard.
They produce movies and lawsuits attacking those who badmouth wee Davey but Ron gets lambasted and there's not even a peep.
As they once said in the description of the alt.religion.scientology newsgroup on USENET:
"He's dead, Jim."
Admiral Miscavige signs the checks these days, along with pretty much running everything. Defending Dr. Hubbard is a path with no cheese.

What a boring piece of overkill. All those animated letter icons flying around and not really meaning anything, just like asserting that someone called or e-mailed HBO or Alex Gibney over and over and over. That video could have made its point such as it was in a minute or two, but noooooo they had to drone on and on with that busy library music in the background. The HBO program was tightly edited and makes this thing look whiny and full of sour grapes. ScienCorp always tries to marshal a bunch of volunteers together to make a point but they can't hide the decades of bad-to-illegal behavior and dictatorial policy and it really pisses them off to face the music in the court of public opinion.

Did any of their letters ask for a response? Normally, a demand letter makes a demand, provides a time frame for when the demand is to be met and lists the possible actions the party will take if the demand isn't met. Without these very basic free legal aid steps the letter is nothing more than a memo. It doesn't ask for a response nor is it a demand letter. IMO- these letters are only for internal PR.

OSA has to churn them out to try to match the "entheta" with an equivalent or higher numbers of PR items which "handle" the "entheta". It's one of their stats. The wog world media seems to have OSA on a treadmill of time wasting, and promotion for anti scientologists.

I kinda like it when the cult sues big organizations like HBO. Shelling a few millions out to their shysters will re-animate local business, but since it's so relatively little money, no bank will suffer from that.
Judges can justify their existence, some lawyers can make a few [STRIKE]honest[/STRIKE] bucks, so everyone should be happy.

Eric M. Lieberman is the Cult of Scientology's key human rights attorney, and he's proud to state on his website that he's been shilling for the cult for some 40 years now. He's the snake of all snakes, on one hand pretending to be a human rights advocate, and on the other smashing individuals on behalf of Scientology every chance he can. He plays both sides of the coin, has a great reputation for confusing issues and judges. Sometimes he pushes copyright law as if the church is a business, and other times he uses the First Amendment to support the cult's vicious treatment of perceived enemies and RPF prison and re-indoctrination program. He has a long list of victims that just happens to include those most seriously harassed by the cult (which harassment he defended), including Paulette Cooper, Lisa McPherson, Marc Headley, Larry Wollersheim, Gerry Armstrong, Jesse Prince, Andre Taboyoyon and Graham Berry, to name just a few. Lieberman has even popped up for Monique Rathbun's court case. He has been integral to the deals with the IRS and, in addition to pushing his First Amendment protection of the cult and even influencing senators and legislation regarding its application, Lieberman has also been involved with every major Scientology tax court case in the US.
If ever there was a lawyer who is a complete sociopath bulldog for the cult, IMHO, it's Eric Lieberman.
He's got to be in his 70s by now, or close to it. No doubt he's not as sharp as his old days and relies on his reputation more than his skills.
He's a Scientology whore and runs to its court cases like a vampire smelling blood. It completely disgusts me to see someone with his education who has done nothing with it but smash human rights and legitimize and legalize the mistreatment of individuals. He regularly and systematically sweeps Scientology's crimes away.
If there is to be any lawsuit or court case on behalf of Scientology, Lieberman will be there.
This time, if it happens, I hope he gets knocked right out of the legal ring, humiliated and chastised, only to be eaten alive by the vicious dogs of Scientology he's defended all these years.
And wouldn't that be justice if he personally ended up labeled SP and fair gamed by the cult and locked up in that very hole in Hemet that he likes to tell others does not exist?
Actually you kinda can't blame the guy! It's gotta be the EASIEST money-making client ever. He just spins & spins whatever they say they want, hands them his mountain of bills and BOOM gets a super-easy payday. Kinda does sound "whorish" Lay on your back, flop around a bit, blah blah blah, pay me!

Are they for freaking real? They went to an asthma expert to counter a paragraph in a BOOK? I didn't think I could possibly laugh any harder than I have been in this thread. I wonder how many people got credit in their weekly stats for this one. OMG this is about the most pathetic thing I've ever seen!

How come there is no return address or further details on the Cof$ letterhead?
Lack of that info makes one wonder just how genuine it is. Those sort of serious intent letters, while fun, need verification of authenticity.
We are very busy....yet we will put 25 people on a plane with reams of evidence & paperwork to come and see you. For a meeting that has never been set up. No place, date, time; but we will be there.

One thing annoying about the cult's attack videos is the narration, which drones on attacking relentlessly, accompanied by annoying background music. There's no balance or restraint at all. It's attack all the way, never defend or even discuss. It also reminds me of Miscavige's style in speeches, as he drones on spouting stats about miles of wire and feet of cable, thinking the more stats he throws out, no matter how stupid, it makes him sound convincing. There can't be any pauses for the listener to question the validity of what he's saying, or give them a chance to think.
And I agree with others who have noticed that the elephant in the room of these attack videos, is any refutation or even comment about the biography of L. Ron Hubbard by Wright/Gibney as presented in the documentary. They can't even even quote Ron and claim he "didn't have a second wife."
When they say things like Marty put his "fist in the face" of his ex-wife, okay, so he shook his fist at her, is that what he did? And he may have threatened to send her to the moon, but is that it? Seriously, he didn't hit her or anything, so they have to word Marty's losing his temper like it's a big crime.
Marty slapped enough people around, you'd think they'd talk about that, instead of playing word games. Perhaps they don't want to remind the remaining zombies that Slappy didn't do anything about Marty's psychopathic rampage for three years while he was Slappy's right-hand man.
We all know it is a show for the members, because they're the only ones who are going to believe both Wright and Gibney are evil and worthy of condemnation, because L. Ron Hubbard is the greatest...and anyone who says he isn't is a...and must be destroyed.
About Slappy getting violent during an asthma attack when he was a kid, so why doesn't he say how he was? True, most people are gasping for breath and kind of panicking during an attack, but maybe he was the exception, and it triggered other emotions, like anger. This is possible, although uncommon. He was probably the exception.

Pardon my scepticism about DM's violence having been brought on by an asthma attack, but I'd be inclined to go with Dr Shapiro's expertise in this field and suggest that that was most likely a convenient excuse.

30 secondes of this voice and we are done....irritated
I think the voice, the non-stop aggressive accusations, the speed without pausing is designed on purpose - like a kind of hypnotic speech to create , in the audience, a ''warrior'' mood - instead of letting the slaves at ''effect'' about the documentary and the former top executive who spoke out.
No need to discuss anything - only shooting attacks , and the group react as an indocrined group...'' these are our ennemies, the espees, they attack us, we attack....
Typical of Cult of [STRIKE]$cientology[/STRIKE] collective psychopathy
They don't even have time to think... and they are forbidden to disagree...
For the genreal public audience... It's so obvious this cult is sick, evil and paranoid...no one would even think about joining it now, neither let their kids and family approach a [STRIKE]Church [/STRIKE] mind manipulation base.
When $cienos come back home, after they watched these nasty pieces, I wonder if it comes to their mind that : What they do the the former members who speak..they can do it to me as well ???? Better vanish now, quietly without sorrow...''

Q: Access QGIS environment with Conda Hi I wonder if one can access the QGIS python environment on windows from the CMD or Anaconda Prompt, instead of opening OSGeo4W Shell and typing 'py3_env'?
I tried to use the 'cd' function to the QGIS directory, and then typing 'conda install -c r rpy2' but it still dosent get the same results.
My goal here is to install some python modules with conda (rpy2) that should work in QGIS3.
I hope that somebody can help me.


There are quite a lot of 11 Plus papers and practice materials available online, and some of them are even free. Getting your hands on 11 Plus papers isn't the problem – the problem is knowing which ones are relevant to the exam your child will actually be taking.
Books and practice papers you can download or buy online often look very different from each other, and sometimes even contain totally different question types. That's because the format and content of the 11 Plus exam varies between different regions of the UK, and sometimes even between individual schools.
So, how do you know which 11 Plus papers and materials are the right ones for your child to complete?
Once you know that, you'll be much better placed to understand exactly what type of 11 Plus papers and preparation materials will give your child the best chance of passing the real exam.
The GL Assessment 11 Plus exam provider does not release past papers, so don't bother looking for them online. They do, however, publish practice materials in each of their different subject areas, so I very much recommend that you take look on their website (or you can purchase from Amazon).
In my opinion and experience as an 11 Plus tutor, CGP are by far and away the most extensive provider of 11 Plus practice papers.
They publish mock exam papers specific to the GL Assessment exam provider, and even narrows them down into different regions (e.g. they have separate mock exam papers for Bucks and Kent).
They also have some free papers on their website, so make sure you check them out.
We are one of the only 11 Plus publishers who have released a free sample paper of a full 11 Plus exam (containing a mix of subject types). This paper is suitable for GL Assessment formats, and it will give you a really good indicator of how well your child can cope with sitting a test that is very similar to the style and format of the final exam. You can find it at the top of our free resources page (all you need to do is fill in your email address to get the link), which also contains a whole load of other free 11 Plus materials.
Membership to our online platform (FSL 11+ Online) includes access to all our 11 Plus materials, and that includes full mock exam papers. Membership costs £14.95 per month which is about the same price as your average set of 11 plus practice papers, but our membership includes access to a full online GL Assessment specific 11 plus course with worksheets, videos and online quizzes as well as 11 plus papers.
Durham CEM don't release past 11 plus papers, and they don't publish any practice material either, so don't even bother searching for anything from them online. However, 11 Plus papers written in the style of the Durham CEM exam do exist. These are based on familiarisation materials given by Durham CEM, as well as information gathered from interviews with children who have previously sat the exam. Once again, one of the best publishers of 11 plus mock exam papers is CGP.
CGP have multiple sets of 11 Plus papers that are specific to the Durham CEM exam, which can be ordered directly from their website. Don't forget to check out their free papers as well.

If you are looking to apply for a Grammar school that writes its 11 Plus papers independently, you may be in luck.
Independent schools quite frequently publish their past 11 Plus papers on their websites, so make sure you check out the site of any schools you're interested in to see if you can get your hands on their materials.
The main thing with independent schools is to check for any key information about their 11 Plus exam on their admissions pages. Even if they don't release past papers, most schools will provide information about which subjects they include in their exams, so you should be able to find something that matches from the list below.
Note that some independent schools contract GL Assessment or Durham CEM to provide their 11 plus papers, so check for this information on their website as you may find that a lot of practice materials exist in that case.
It's important that your child feels confident and well-practised in the types of questions that are likely to come up in the 11 plus exam. While practice 11 Plus papers are great to give you a benchmark and for practising exam technique, proper 11 Plus preparation should involve some more active study. Become a member of FSL 11 Plus Online to get access to two full 11 Plus courses (GL Assessment or Durham CEM). These include thousands of worksheets, practice papers, video tutorials and online quizzes, all timetabled to make the 11 Plus study process as simple as possible. Access to everything costs just £14.95 per month.

Q: Show div on top of a img container I'm trying to make a white div on top of a img.
I have tried with position absolute and relative but don't make it. I'm stuck.
The box is showing under the img container.
What am I doing wrong? :)

.img_container {
  margin-left: 40px;
  margin-right: 40px;
  background-size: cover;
  background-position: center center;
  position: relative;
  text-align: center;

}

.img_container .the_img img {
   width: 100%;
   height: 420px;

}

.img_container .the_img .container_white{
    width: 900px;
    height: 50px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    background: white;
    position:absolute;

}

     <?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail( get_the_ID(), 'large'); ?>

¨

A: The only thing the get_the_post_thumbnail does is inserting an image-element into your code.
For example, it will generate something like this:

Of course filled with your custom values.
For better demonstration purposes I replaced the php function call by the returned img tag.

If you want to place your div relative to its parent:

*

*Your parent should be position: relative

*Your children should be postion: absolute

In your case the the_img element is the parent.
Both children, the img and the container_white have to be absolute to remove them from the normal document flow. See the code snipped.

.img_container {
  margin-left: 40px;
  margin-right: 40px;
  background-size: cover;
  background-position: center center;
  position: relative;
  /**text-align: center;**/
}

.img_container .the_img img {
   width: 100%;
   height: 420px;
   position: absolute;
}

.img_container .the_img .container_white{
    width: 900px;
    height: 50px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    background: white;
    position:absolute;
}

.the_img{
  position: relative;
}

So the only thing you have to do is to

*

*make the_img to relative

*make img to absolute
NOTE: I removed the text-align: center from the img_container just for better displaying.

Q: How to implement Google Protobuf containing map with custom key I want to create a protobuf which returns a map containing custom keys. When I try to make one, I get an error: Key in map fields cannot be float/double, bytes or message types. I want to know if there is a workaround for it.
I am trying to create a map of following type (as an illustration):
message Name {
  string first_name = 1;
  string last_name = 2;
}

message GetNameResp {
  map<Name, string> name_info = 1;
}

So, can the Name here be a possible key to the map? The only solution I could find was to serialize the map and then return as repeated values.
Thanks!

A: Map keys may not be message types:
https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/proto3#maps
You would have to work around this in code.
You could convert Name to string:

*

*serialize the protobuf message

*marshaling to JSON

*hashing the value (though you'd potentially have collisions)

X-Men Legends (2021-) #6 by Peter David
What is the point of this comic? Why does it exist? The first two issues were great, genuinely filling in a gap in X-Men continuity that has bugged people for decades. The second arc was less good, and felt less necessary, but there was a slight gap to fill and it filled it, sure…and, you know, who's going to say no to a few more issues of Simonson X-Factor. But, this? Just…why?
There's so much wrong here. First and foremost, we get a lot of talk about all the lives that are at stake, all the people within the Latverian embassy that X-Factor are saving. But we never see them. We only see the Latverian mutants who've taken them hostage. This means that the stakes are entirely abstract and, honestly, we couldn't care less whether X-Factor succeed or fail.
Then there's those Latverian mutants who've taken over the embassy. The comic flatly refuses to decide whether they're in the right or not. They've been experimented on by Doom against their will, but ultimately X-factor go and fetch Doom to come and deal with them. Then, on the final page, it's heavily implied that Rahne just walks away while letting Doom flat out murder them all.
This comic is incredibly strange. I don't understand why it was made. I don't know who this is for. I just don't get it.
Next month we have Wolverine and Jubilee. Let's hope that's better, eh?
