25 The Court first used the phrase critical stage in connection with the right to counsel in Parkerv. Illinois, 333 U.S. 571, 575 (1948), and first specified that counsel must be provided to a defendant ata critical stage of a criminal prosecution in Hamilton v. Alabama, 368 U.S. 52, 54-55 (1961).
01 December 1978. The largest known land gastropod is the African giant snail Achatina achatina, the largest recorded specimen of which measured 39.3 cm (15.5 in) from snout to tail when fully extended, with a shell length of 27.3 cm (10.75 in) in December 1978. It weighed exactly 900 g (2 lb).
The unit of mass has been named the slug. The weight of a slug is about 32.17 lb. It is equal to 14.593 kg. Mass densities should be specified as slug/ft 3. Civil engineers adopted the slug, mechanical engineers didn't appreciate the problem, and chemical engineers did something else which I shall mention in a moment.
