BP may face charges, but execs likely won’t
BP may face charges, but execs likely won’t
Experts say it’s hard to assign individual blame in cases like this
Published 5:30 am, Sunday, June 13, 2010
Plans for a federal criminal investigation into the Gulf of Mexico oil spill may evoke visions of oil industry executives lined up in handcuffs for a perp walk into the federal courthouse.
But bringing criminal charges against individuals is difficult in such environmental cases, say legal experts, particularly against high-level executives removed from day-to-day operations.
There’s little doubt that BP and possibly other companies involved will be paying millions of dollars in fines for the spilled oil and injured or dead wildlife, because the applicable laws don’t leave corporations much defense.
But assigning individual blame for the rig explosion or the leaked oil will be much more difficult.
“It’s not like one person went out there and blew something up,” said Henning. “It sounds like a massive failure that involved many different causes and factors.”
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said in New Orleans June 1 that the government would pursue all civil and criminal avenues in investigating the accident and the ensuing spill.
That may have meant less legally than politically. “People are looking for heads to put on the chopping block,” said Jimmy Ardoin, a criminal defense attorney and partner with the Houston firm of Cogdell & Ardoin. “The spill is in everyone’s living room every night, putting the government under incredible pressure to do something.”
But going after individual executives for causing the explosion and spill “would just be a pure witch hunt in my opinion,” Ardoin said. “I don’t think you’ll find criminal intent in the classic sense. No executive or engineer would sit in their office and think, ‘How can I make this thing blow out so I can go on national TV and apologize?’ ”
Legal experts said three federal laws could be brought to bear immediately in an investigation of the spill — the Refuse Act, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Clean Water Act.
Under the first two laws the notion of strict liability applies, meaning companies could be found liable for any oil spilled in the water or animals injured by the spills regardless of whether it was an accident or intentional.
For a violation under the Clean Water Act, the government would have to prove negligence — that companies or individuals failed to show proper care in avoiding the accident. That’s still a relatively low burden of proof, Henning said.
Convictions under these acts would be misdemeanors, which carry fines up to twice the damages caused by the spill, and up to a year in jail for an individual defendant.
Elevating a Clean Water Act violation to a felony would require prosecutors to show that companies or individuals acted “knowingly.”
“You just have to be aware that what you were doing fell under what is regulated,” Hester said.
Pinning criminal liability on upper management for missteps by the rig crews or engineers would be difficult, said Wendall Odom, a Houston criminal defense attorney.
“You may be the president of BP but you may not know if they didn’t follow procedure out on the rig,” Odom said.
However, a 1999 case in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the misdemeanor conviction under the Clean Water Act of a supervisor at a rock quarry project that accidentally ruptured an oil pipeline, causing a spill. The supervisor wasn’t on site at the time of the accident.
Odom said investigators might take an interest in reports that a BP engineer on board the rig overruled Transocean officials on some decisions on the day of the explosion.
“But you’d have to know how far outside the norms of company policy or industry practice that person was deviating,” he said.
Henning said a better route for investigations of individuals might be to look into whether they made false statements in such documents as the drilling permit filed with officials, Henning said.
Federal fraud statutes prohibiting false statements are broad and cover information shared voluntarily as well as what is contained in required reports. That could mean if anyone made false statements after the accident, such as providing false information about the size of the spill or even withholding information, they might be subject to prosecution.
Bill Rosch, a Houston lawyer who has defended companies in criminal environmental cases, predicts individuals will face criminal charges over the Deepwater Horizon disaster.
Rosch noted a 2007 case in which drilling firm Rowan Companies and nine employees pleaded guilty to violating the Clean Water Act for allowing waste from rig sandblasting to go into the ocean.
The company paid $9 million in fines and fees while the employees — who had supervisory roles over the sandblasting work — faced big fines but no jail time.
“Prison sentences for oil company employees are the only thing that will stop these guys,” Rosch said.
Henning isn’t so sure.
“Indicting someone for the spill might make people feel better,” he said. “But it’s not going to clean up the beach.”

The house and pool are perfect!
We stayed a week in this lovely house. The location is fantastic and so are the house, garden and pool. Close to Lucca, close to the shops and a short drive to the beach. Really enjoyed ourselves. The hosts are very warm, helpful and easy going. They are around in case of questions but very respectful of our privacy. Would love to go back here.
Perfect villa for a perfect holiday
This was the perfect place for our family holiday. The villa and its gardens are beautifully maintained, and even better in real life than they appear in the photos! The owners Sandra and Claudio attend so carefully to every detail so that the villa is immaculately clean and superbly equipped. The gardens are stunning – the garden around the pool at the front of the house is stocked with lovely flowering bushes, beautifully cared for, while to the back of the villa is a huge lawn, a lovely open space to play in. Sandra, Claudio and their family are so friendly and welcoming, but at the same time careful not to interfere with their guests’ privacy. We felt all the time that their greatest wish was that we should be happy there – and we were!
Lucca is a lovely old town to explore, and of course very close to many other key Tuscan sites. The countryside around is beautiful. Do be aware that you will need a car to get into Lucca. Even though it is a short journey, the taxis are very expensive and there did not seem to be any public transport. However Sandra and Claudio directed us to a free car park by the city walls so this was no problem. Highly recommended for a wonderful holiday!
Hello Family Noon:
We must thank you for the rich compliments you have given to us, our family and our home.
It was a privilege having you and truely enjoyed your company.
We sincerely hope to have you agian as guests in the near future.
Once again, Thank you and your lovely family.

Though his side have missed the finals in consecutive seasons, coach Ross Lyon says he's happy at the way the rebuild is going at Fremantle.
The 51-year-old has never previously experienced as a coach failure to make the top eight in back-to-back campaigns.
But he insists he's buoyed by the progress made by the Dockers' developing squad.
I'm finding it as enjoyable a time as I've experienced in AFL football.Ross Lyon
Lyon says he's enjoyed teaching the players and finds it less stressful because everyone at the club understands the rebuilding process.
"I'd argue we had to really educate, including a lot of people who'd been around for a long period of time," added the coach.
"History tells you what lays ahead and we're just trying to speed it up. I'm finding it as enjoyable a time as I've experienced in AFL football."
Lyon reckons the recruitment of former Greater Western Sydney defender Nathan Wilson will be a positive step.
"We just want Nathan to do what he does - run, take it on and kick with penetration - and I think he'll do it really well for us," he said.
"We've been a bit stagnant with the ball and we'd like to get away from that and get our backs running and joining in like they did (early last year), and Nathan should help us in that area."
Lyon's been impressed with the pre-season work done by top draftees Andrew Brayshaw (pick No.2) and Adam Cerra (No.5), who remain in contention to make their AFL debuts in round one.
Versatile tall Alex Pearce, 22, will be back in the mix after missing a season-and-a-half with leg problems.
Fremantle are 4500/1 to win the Grand Final.
The Dockers are 500/1 to finish in the top eight.

Trailer Hitch Wiring Diagram – People today understand that trailer is a car comprised of rather complicated mechanisms. This car is designed not just to travel 1 location to another but also to take heavy loads. This report will be discussing trailer hitch wiring diagram. Which are the advantages of understanding such understanding? You will be surprised to understand it.
To begin with, understanding the diagram of wires for trailer will be helpful during troubleshooting. When issues occur using the trailer, motorist would want to understand where the problem spot is located. It will help immediately in fixing errors. Second, knowing the diagram of cables for trailer is terrific for those who wish to test gathering for themselves.
Learning Trailer Wiring Diagram Better
Generally, there are three kinds of diagrams that people may take a look at when aiming to build wires for trailers. Each cable has distinct function and design so it is essential for driver to coincide with the requirements before deciding on one.
- 7-Pin Connector
This Trailer Hitch Wiring Diagram version is much more suitable for sophisticated trailers and RVs. It can transfer power better compared to the connector is recommended for higher-level electric in the vehicle. Here is the diagram for 7-pin connector.
- White Pin to your floor.
- Brown Pin for unwanted markers, tail lamps, and running lights.
- Yellow Pin for left brake light and left handed markers.
- Green Pin Yellow Pin for appropriate brake light and turn markers.
- Blue Pin for electrical brakes.
- Red 12 volt auxiliary power.
- Purple for copy lighting.
- 5-Pin Connector
This 5-pin trailer wiring diagram is very good for trailer which has big capacity. However, it does not possess as sophisticated and electric consuming features that RV and other costly trailers may have. Below is the configuration for 5-pin connector for improved understanding.
- White cables for ground electricity.
- Brown wires for working lights, tail lights, and negative markers.
- Yellow wires for left brake signal and left too.
- Green cables for proper brake sign and right turn too.
- Blue wires for electric brakes so the car can function much better.
- 4-Pin Connector
There’s a really fundamental Trailer Hitch Wiring Diagram. It’s the 4-pin connector. This sort of connector is excellent for customer trailers. It ought not be carrying heavy loads throughout the journey. Along with being light, it is recommended that the connector doesn’t have any power-draining accessory. The simple diagram for this connector is rather similar to above types.
- White wires for any power that occurs on the light.
- Brown wires for any running lights, back lights, and peripheral markers.
- Yellow wires for almost any left brake signal and left signal turn.
- Green cables for any ideal brake sign and appropriate signal twist.
Driver should notice several things linked to the diagram, though. Such things will avert motorist from encountering any electric problem during utilization. It’s recommended that the white cable must connect the floor to some white wire on top. Although this sounds tedious, it is going to conserve consumer from hassles in the future.
There is another thing linked to diagram however is particularly concerning routing. An approach to wrap it round the trailer can be very interesting. It’s because the wire will have the ability to distribute electricity to other trailer’s parts in equal way. Wires should be safeguarded by material that is strong and durable but does not hinder its functioning.
Hopefully this post related to Trailer Hitch Wiring Diagram will be assisting motorist to design their own trailer wires . If not it’s still a wonderful knowledge to get for when problems happen to your precious vehicle.

Floating rate funds are a very interesting investment that don't get discussed very often - but they are a really good (albeit risky) short term investment. Floating rate funds are mutual funds and ETFs that invest in bonds and other debt that have variable interest rates. Most of these funds are invested in short term debt - usually 60 to 90 days - and most of the debt is issued by banks and corporations.
Once you've set up that reserve, you can invest the rest of your savings in a mix of stock and bond funds or ETFs. The idea is to invest enough in stocks to give you some growth potential that can help you maintain your purchasing power throughout retirement, but also a large enough bond stake to limit the downside during periods when stocks take a dive. Arriving at that mix is a subjective matter that depends largely on how much volatility and uncertainty you're willing to accept in the short-term for the possibility of higher long-term returns.

2) Seek out a mix of companies that pay REGULAR dividends of at least once a quarter (or 4 times a year). The biggest risk in investing involves needing your money at the wrong time, says Harold Evensky, a professor of practice in the personal financial planning department at Texas Tech University. "By balancing any funds you'll need in the next three to five years, or roughly an economic cycle, between a money market account and high-quality, short-term bonds, you won't have to sell your investments at a loss. You'll have liquid funds available when you need them, even if the market has crashed."

Due to the underlying interest in real estate ventures, REITs are prone to swings based on developments in an overall economy, levels of interest rates and the current state of the real estate market, which is known to flourish or experience depression.

Inflation expectations are rising too
Posted By Peter Boockvar On September 10, 2012 @ 3:45 pm In MacroNotes,Think Tank | Comments Disabled
As we approach the FOMC meeting Wed which of course follows the plans from the ECB detailed last week, which has lifted asset prices (really since Draghi’s comments since late July), there has been a jump in inflation expectations too over the past week. Coincident with the 5 month high in the CRB index, the implied inflation rate in the 10 yr TIPS today is at 2.38%, up 12 bps over the past week and is at the highest level since late March. Expectations 5 yrs out are at the highest since mid April at 2.09%, up 9 bps since last Monday. Also, the 5 yr 5 yr forward breakeven rate at 2.81% is up 16 bps in a week to the most since Aug 2011. The rising inflation breakeven rates point still to very REAL negative interest rates which confirms the recent rise in gold out of a long time trading range.

To determine a diagnosis and check for related complications, you may have:
- A physical exam. Your doctor will try to rule out physical problems that could cause your symptoms.
- Lab tests. These may include, for example, a check of your thyroid function or a screening for alcohol and drugs.
- A psychological evaluation. A doctor or mental health professional talks to you about your symptoms, thoughts, feelings and behavior patterns. You may be asked to fill out a questionnaire to help answer these questions.
Determining which mental illness you have
Sometimes it's difficult to find out which mental illness may be causing your symptoms. But taking the time and effort to get an accurate diagnosis will help determine the appropriate treatment. The more information you have, the more you will be prepared to work with your mental health professional in understanding what your symptoms may represent.
The defining symptoms for each mental illness are detailed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), published by the American Psychiatric Association. This manual is used by mental health professionals to diagnose mental conditions and by insurance companies to reimburse for treatment.
Classes of mental illness
The main classes of mental illness are:
- Neurodevelopmental disorders. This class covers a wide range of problems that usually begin in infancy or childhood, often before the child begins grade school. Examples include autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and learning disorders.
- Schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders. Psychotic disorders cause detachment from reality — such as delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized thinking and speech. The most notable example is schizophrenia, although other classes of disorders can be associated with detachment from reality at times.
- Bipolar and related disorders. This class includes disorders with alternating episodes of mania — periods of excessive activity, energy and excitement — and depression.
- Depressive disorders. These include disorders that affect how you feel emotionally, such as the level of sadness and happiness, and they can disrupt your ability to function. Examples include major depressive disorder and premenstrual dysphoric disorder.
- Anxiety disorders. Anxiety is an emotion characterized by the anticipation of future danger or misfortune, along with excessive worrying. It can include behavior aimed at avoiding situations that cause anxiety. This class includes generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder and phobias.
- Obsessive-compulsive and related disorders. These disorders involve preoccupations or obsessions and repetitive thoughts and actions. Examples include obsessive-compulsive disorder, hoarding disorder and hair-pulling disorder (trichotillomania).
- Trauma- and stressor-related disorders. These are adjustment disorders in which a person has trouble coping during or after a stressful life event. Examples include post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and acute stress disorder.
- Dissociative disorders. These are disorders in which your sense of self is disrupted, such as with dissociative identity disorder and dissociative amnesia.
- Somatic symptom and related disorders. A person with one of these disorders may have physical symptoms that cause major emotional distress and problems functioning. There may or may not be another diagnosed medical condition associated with these symptoms, but the reaction to the symptoms is not normal. The disorders include somatic symptom disorder, illness anxiety disorder and factitious disorder.
- Feeding and eating disorders. These disorders include disturbances related to eating that impact nutrition and health, such as anorexia nervosa and binge-eating disorder.
- Elimination disorders. These disorders relate to the inappropriate elimination of urine or stool by accident or on purpose. Bed-wetting (enuresis) is an example.
- Sleep-wake disorders. These are disorders of sleep severe enough to require clinical attention, such as insomnia, sleep apnea and restless legs syndrome.
- Sexual dysfunctions. These include disorders of sexual response, such as premature ejaculation and female orgasmic disorder.
- Gender dysphoria. This refers to the distress that accompanies a person's stated desire to be another gender.
- Disruptive, impulse-control and conduct disorders. These disorders include problems with emotional and behavioral self-control, such as kleptomania or intermittent explosive disorder.
- Substance-related and addictive disorders. These include problems associated with the excessive use of alcohol, caffeine, tobacco and drugs. This class also includes gambling disorder.
- Neurocognitive disorders. Neurocognitive disorders affect your ability to think and reason. These acquired (rather than developmental) cognitive problems include delirium, as well as neurocognitive disorders due to conditions or diseases such as traumatic brain injury or Alzheimer's disease.
- Personality disorders. A personality disorder involves a lasting pattern of emotional instability and unhealthy behavior that causes problems in your life and relationships. Examples include borderline, antisocial and narcissistic personality disorders.
- Paraphilic disorders. These disorders include sexual interest that causes personal distress or impairment or causes potential or actual harm to another person. Examples are sexual sadism disorder, voyeuristic disorder and pedophilic disorder.
- Other mental disorders. This class includes mental disorders that are due to other medical conditions or that don't meet the full criteria for one of the above disorders.
Your treatment depends on the type of mental illness you have, its severity and what works best for you. In many cases, a combination of treatments works best.
If you have a mild mental illness with well-controlled symptoms, treatment from your primary care provider may be sufficient. However, often a team approach is appropriate to make sure all your psychiatric, medical and social needs are met. This is especially important for severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia.
Your treatment team
Your treatment team may include your:
- Family or primary care doctor
- Nurse practitioner
- Physician assistant
- Psychiatrist, a medical doctor who diagnoses and treats mental illnesses
- Psychotherapist, such as a psychologist or a licensed counselor
- Social worker
- Family members
Although psychiatric medications don't cure mental illness, they can often significantly improve symptoms. Psychiatric medications can also help make other treatments, such as psychotherapy, more effective. The best medications for you will depend on your particular situation and how your body responds to the medication.
Some of the most commonly used classes of prescription psychiatric medications include:
- Antidepressants. Antidepressants are used to treat depression, anxiety and sometimes other conditions. They can help improve symptoms such as sadness, hopelessness, lack of energy, difficulty concentrating and lack of interest in activities. Antidepressants are not addictive and do not cause dependency.
- Anti-anxiety medications. These drugs are used to treat anxiety disorders, such as generalized anxiety disorder or panic disorder. They may also help reduce agitation and insomnia. Long-term anti-anxiety drugs typically are antidepressants that also work for anxiety. Fast-acting anti-anxiety drugs help with short-term relief, but they also have the potential to cause dependency, so ideally they'd be used short term.
- Mood-stabilizing medications. Mood stabilizers are most commonly used to treat bipolar disorders, which involves alternating episodes of mania and depression. Sometimes mood stabilizers are used with antidepressants to treat depression.
- Antipsychotic medications. Antipsychotic drugs are typically used to treat psychotic disorders, such as schizophrenia. Antipsychotic medications may also be used to treat bipolar disorders or used with antidepressants to treat depression.
Psychotherapy, also called talk therapy, involves talking about your condition and related issues with a mental health professional. During psychotherapy, you learn about your condition and your moods, feelings, thoughts and behavior. With the insights and knowledge you gain, you can learn coping and stress management skills.
There are many types of psychotherapy, each with its own approach to improving your mental well-being. Psychotherapy often can be successfully completed in a few months, but in some cases, long-term treatment may be needed. It can take place one-on-one, in a group or with family members.
When choosing a therapist, you should feel comfortable and be confident that he or she is capable of listening and hearing what you have to say. Also, it's important that your therapist understands the life journey that has helped shape who you are and how you live in the world.
Brain-stimulation treatments are sometimes used for depression and other mental health disorders. They're generally reserved for situations in which medications and psychotherapy haven't worked. They include electroconvulsive therapy, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, deep brain stimulation and vagus nerve stimulation.
Make sure you understand all the risks and benefits of any recommended treatment.
Hospital and residential treatment programs
Sometimes mental illness becomes so severe that you need care in a psychiatric hospital. This is generally recommended when you can't care for yourself properly or when you're in immediate danger of harming yourself or someone else.
Options include 24-hour inpatient care, partial or day hospitalization, or residential treatment, which offers a temporary supportive place to live. Another option may be intensive outpatient treatment.
Substance misuse treatment
Problems with substance use commonly occur along with mental illness. Often it interferes with treatment and worsens mental illness. If you can't stop using drugs or alcohol on your own, you need treatment. Talk to your doctor about treatment options.
Participating in your own care
Working together, you and your primary care provider or mental health professional can decide which treatment may be best, depending on your symptoms and their severity, your personal preferences, medication side effects, and other factors. In some cases, a mental illness may be so severe that a doctor or loved one may need to guide your care until you're well enough to participate in decision-making.

Lifestyle and home remedies
In most cases, a mental illness won't get better if you try to treat it on your own without professional care. But you can do some things for yourself that will build on your treatment plan:
- Stick to your treatment plan. Don't skip therapy sessions. Even if you're feeling better, don't skip your medications. If you stop, symptoms may come back. And you could have withdrawal-like symptoms if you stop a medication too suddenly. If you have bothersome drug side effects or other problems with treatment, talk to your doctor before making changes.
- Avoid alcohol and drug use. Using alcohol or recreational drugs can make it difficult to treat a mental illness. If you're addicted, quitting can be a real challenge. If you can't quit on your own, see your doctor or find a support group to help you.
- Stay active. Exercise can help you manage symptoms of depression, stress and anxiety. Physical activity can also counteract the effects of some psychiatric medications that may cause weight gain. Consider walking, swimming, gardening or any form of physical activity that you enjoy. Even light physical activity can make a difference.
- Make healthy choices. Maintaining a regular schedule that includes sufficient sleep, healthy eating and regular physical activity are important to your mental health.
- Don't make important decisions when your symptoms are severe. Avoid decision-making when you're in the depth of mental illness symptoms, since you may not be thinking clearly.
- Determine priorities. You may reduce the impact of your mental illness by managing time and energy. Cut back on obligations when necessary and set reasonable goals. Give yourself permission to do less when symptoms are worse. You may find it helpful to make a list of daily tasks or use a planner to structure your time and stay organized.
- Learn to adopt a positive attitude. Focusing on the positive things in your life can make your life better and may even improve your health. Try to accept changes when they occur, and keep problems in perspective. Stress management techniques, including relaxation methods, may help.
Coping and support
Coping with a mental illness is challenging. Talk to your doctor or therapist about improving your coping skills, and consider these tips:
- Learn about your mental illness. Your doctor or therapist can provide you with information or may recommend classes, books or websites. Include your family, too — this can help the people who care about you understand what you're going through and learn how they can help.
- Join a support group. Connecting with others facing similar challenges may help you cope. Support groups for mental illness are available in many communities and online. One good place to start is the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
- Stay connected with friends and family. Try to participate in social activities, and get together with family or friends regularly. Ask for help when you need it, and be upfront with your loved ones about how you're doing.
- Keep a journal. Or jot down brief thoughts or record symptoms on a smartphone app. Keeping track of your personal life and sharing information with your therapist can help you identify what triggers or improves your symptoms. It's also a healthy way to explore and express pain, anger, fear and other emotions.
Preparing for your appointment
Whether you schedule an appointment with your primary care provider to talk about mental health concerns or you're referred to a mental health professional, such as a psychiatrist or psychologist, take steps to prepare for your appointment.
If possible, take a family member or friend along. Someone who has known you for a long time may be able to share important information, with your permission.
What you can do
Before your appointment, make a list of:
- Any symptoms you or people close to you have noticed, and for how long
- Key personal information, including traumatic events in your past and any current, major stressors
- Your medical information, including other physical or mental health conditions
- Any medications, vitamins, herbal products or other supplements you take, and their dosages
- Questions to ask your doctor or mental health professional
Questions to ask may include:
- What type of mental illness might I have?
- Why can't I get over mental illness on my own?
- How do you treat my type of mental illness?
- Will talk therapy help?
- Are there medications that might help?
- How long will treatment take?
- What can I do to help myself?
- Do you have any brochures or other printed material that I can have?
- What websites do you recommend?
Don't hesitate to ask any other questions during your appointment.
What to expect from your doctor
During your appointment, your doctor or mental health professional is likely to ask you questions about your mood, thoughts and behavior, such as:
- When did you first notice symptoms?
- How is your daily life affected by your symptoms?
- What treatment, if any, have you had for mental illness?
- What have you tried on your own to feel better or control your symptoms?
- What things make you feel worse?
- Have family members or friends commented on your mood or behavior?
- Do you have blood relatives with a mental illness?
- What do you hope to gain from treatment?
- What medications or over-the-counter herbs and supplements do you take?
- Do you drink alcohol or use recreational drugs?
Your doctor or mental health professional will ask additional questions based on your responses, symptoms and needs. Preparing and anticipating questions will help you make the most of your time with the doctor.

the Tell-Tale Heart - Summary
The Tell-Tale Heart,first published in The Pioneer, in 1843, is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe. It is about the murder of an old man by the unreliable first-person narrator who claims to suffer from over The story is a classic of horror literature.
With his report, the first-person narrator wants to prove to the listener that he has irritable nerves and senses sharpened by his suffering ("I heard everything that happened in heaven and on earth; also some things that happened in hell."), but that he is by no means insane. Apparently, he is accused of this; perhaps in a police interrogation or in an examination in psychiatry. Because he killed an old man, but not out of hatred or greed for possession. He says that he loved the old man, he did not touch his money. The trigger for the crime was exclusively a physical peculiarity of the old man: one of his eyes, pale blue, was covered by a thin skin and resembled that of a vulture. He could not watch it without being seized by deadly hatred. In the following, he describes precisely the course of the deed and thus exposes even his psychosis:
For a week, the first-person narrator postpones the deed. This week he meets the old man during the day with special kindness. At night, however, when he sleeps, he visits him so quietly and prudently that he does not notice it. Then he opens a previously blinded lantern one gap wide and shines in his face. However, because the eye remains closed, he cannot kill him.
On the night of the murder, the narrator betrays himself by a sound. The old man is upright. The lurking perpetrator freezes to complete silence in absolute darkness. But he suspects that the frightened person feels his presence. So the two of them lie in wait for each other for an hour. The narrator enduringly imagines the victim's panic, which he himself knows well. Finally, he opens his aperture lantern one gap wide. The light falls on the hated eye. But he still can't bring himself to act until he hears how the old man's heart starts to beat louder and louder. He is afraid that the neighbors might hear the throbbing. With a scream, he jumps towards the old man, suffocates him under his bedding, but hears the heart of his victim beating for a long time.
The narrator also considers the way he hides the dead man to be proof of his clear mind. He disassembles the body, loosens planks from the floor of the room, stuffs the body parts into the cavity below and closes the gap again perfectly. To the policemen, who were alerted by a neighbor who heard the scream, he calmly explains with a smile that he himself had cast it out in a dream. The old man had gone to the countryside. The investigators see that the money is not touched and find no traces of violence. Her suspicions are dispelled and the narrator, in his exuberant sense of security, invites her to a chat at the crime scene. But in his ear begins a noise that increases to an ever louder throbbing, and he is convinced that the visitors also know the meaning of the sound, but make their mockery of it by hypocritically ignoring it. In order to free himself from his unbearable anguish, the narrator confesses the deed by shouting that the gruesome beating is the heart of the killed and it lies under the floorboards.
The narrative is a paradigm for suspense in literature: the reader knows from the beginning that the first-person narrator will kill the old man. The whole tension is focused on the how. With his constant assertions that he is completely reasonable, the first-person narrator only succeeds in convincing the reader that he is completely insane. The goal of killing a person solely because of a small physical anomaly is so irrational that even his most expedient pursuit becomes irrational. Poe proves to be a master of silence: he does not reveal with a word what actual relationship the perpetrator and his victim are. But where does a younger man live so closely with an older man as these two? The association that this is a conflict between son and father is by no means far-fetched. This view is supported by Marie Bonaparte, for whom Poe works through the hatred of his foster father John Allan in this story, who lovingly raised little Edgar, then heartllessly pushed the adult out into poverty and misery. The love hate relationship is expressed in this text together with its violence that favors the development of schizophrenia:
"I knew what the old man felt, and pitied him although I chuckled at heart."
"I knew what the old man felt and regretted him, even though my heart was gurgling with pleasure."
With the killing, the first-person narrator serves his hatred, but his love makes the heart of the victim beat again and forces the confession of the torn perpetrator.
According to Klaus Zobel, almost all commentators of the text are mistaken that it is a crime story. In doing so, one overlooks the monological conception of the text. Enclosed in the circle of a very idiosyncratic solipsistic conception and view of his world, the first-person narrator no longer succeeds in separating excessively imagined from what really exists. Poe shapes a nocturnal phantasmagoriain which the initially seemingly realistic features of a crime story dissolve more and more into a puzzle game in which it is no longer possible to distinguish between victim and perpetrator. The narrative process, which seems to reflect reality, turns out to be a consequence of delusional ideas and images that draw the first-person narrator into an ever stronger psychotic confusion.
Poe probably used Charles Dickens' 1840 story, The Clock-Case: A Confession Found in a Prison in the Time of Charles the Second as a model, because some passages of the short story have similarities with Dickens' work. References to E. T. A. Hoffmann's The Elixirs of the Devil can also be seen. Poe's most important source, however, may have been episode A Madman's Manuscript from the eleventh chapter of Charles Dickens' Pickwick Papers, as Klaus Zobel has conclusively demonstrated, while The Clock Case Could only have been of secondary importance to Poe, according to Zobel.

Ely Ould Dha was arrested in France on 2 July 1999, when he was participating in a training programme in Montpellier
Proceedings were triggered on 4 June 1999 when a complaint was lodged by the two victims who by then had become political refugees in France. The complaint was lodged with the support of the FIDH (Fédération internationale des droits de l’homme) and of the LDH (Ligue des droits de l’homme) and further supported by the Human Rights Association of Mauritania and the Association of Mauritanian Victims.
Indicted for torture, Ely Ould Dah was placed in pre-trial detention on 2 July 1999. After having rejected a first release request on 22 July 1999, the French judicial authorities authorised his release on 28 September 1999, under judicial control (his passport was confiscated and he was put under house arrest).
This decision made reference to a potential difficulty in applying criminal law, based on the fact that torture had not been included as a separate crime under French legislation until March 1994. This argument however was in contradiction to Article 55 of the French Constitution which asserts the primacy of ratified treaties over domestic laws. As it is, the 1984 Convention against Torture, on which the complaint was based, came into force in France in 1987. Furthermore torture was already regarded under the previous penal code as constituting an aggravating circumstance in sequestration cases.
According to the FIDH, all the necessary dispositions had not been taken to avoid what was the foreseeable escape of Ely Ould Dah to Mauritania on 5 April 2000. Today, he continues to benefit from the protection of the local authorities despite there being an international arrest warrant issued against him by a French judge on 7 April 2000. An enquiry has been opened up in France to determine the circumstances behind his evasion.
On 25 May 2001, the examining magistrate ordered that Ely Ould Dah be sent before the “Cour d’assises” to be tried. After several legal wrangles, on 8 July 2002, the Nîmes Appeals Court finally confirmed that he should be tried before the “Cour d’assises du Gard”.
An appeal lodged by Ely Ould Dah against the decision was rejected on 23 October 2002.
The trial in absentia, as a result of Ely Ould Dah’s escape, opened on June 30, 2005, before the Nîmes “Cour d’assises”.
On July 1st, 2005, the Nîmes Cour d’assises took a historic decision by sentencing the Mauritania Captain Ely Ould Dah to ten years in prison, the maximum term. The Court acknowledged all the charges concerning acts of torture that Ely Ould Dah had committed directly, ordered or organised at the “Jreïda death camp”.
Ely Ould Dah is currently serving in Mauritania in the national army. On June 30, 2006, FIDH, LDH and AMDH appealed to the French authorities that they officially request Ely Ould Dha’s extradition to France, so that he could serve his prison sentence in that country.
On 17 March 2009 the European Court of Human Rights declared that France had not violated the European Convention on Human Rights’ prohibition on retroactivity by trying Ely Ould Dah. The Court held that France had universal jurisdiction in certain cases. What is more, according to the Court, the prohibition on torture was a peremptory norm under international law (jus cogens) so that the Mauritanian amnesty law did not preclude France from trying Ely Ould Dah.

Getting refunds for a product purchased on-line is usually a tiring process at instances. However in case you are inventive sufficient, like this LinkedIn consumer, who used a marriage invite hack to get a refund from Amazon, chances are you’ll simply all of your a reimbursement ultimately. The consumer, Anmol Patwardhan, who’s a Human Useful resource supervisor by career, narrated his story of getting a refund from Amazon. After the method hit a roadblock halfway, the user-designed a faux wedding ceremony invite for Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and the corporate’s India vice-president.
Sharing a little bit backdrop concerning the story, the consumer shared that he purchased a Google Pixel 6 by Amazon. Nonetheless, the telephone stopped working inside simply 6 months of buy. Because the telephone isn’t bought formally in India, the system was not coated beneath Google’s guarantee. Nonetheless, fortunately for him, Amazon India supplied him 1-year guarantee on such purchases.
When he contacted Amazon India for help, they requested him to current a NOC from Google stating that they can’t help the restore or alternative. “It’s best to know that Google as a cellular producer has no help in any respect. It’s an absolute black gap. You don’t have a buyer help division, no helpline quantity and absolute confusion on the web site,” he wrote.
Nonetheless, Anmol Patwardhan didn’t surrender. After hours of looking out, he discovered a press release, from the Google help web page, which said that the corporate is not going to be liable for the restore of imported telephones and that the vendor was solely accountable. It took Anmol 15 calls and three days of effort to persuade Amazon India that they’re liable for the restore or alternative. Luckily, they agreed, and the ordeal began.
Within the LinkedIn publish, the HR skilled narrated, “After I returned my telephone on November 4, part of the refund was initiated that was paid by Amazon pay and the opposite half paid with my card amounting to, 40000 was not credited even after 7 days, as promised on the web site.”
Publish 45 days of calling, requests, emails, and every thing potential, Anmol was about to surrender. However, as a closing resort, he relied on the ability of social media. He made a marriage invite only for Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Vice President & Nation Supervisor: India Client Enterprise Manish Tiwary and Amazon India. He added a “refund in blessings solely” message on the finish of the cardboard.
Try the publish right here:
Anmol saved on sharing the invite on Twitter, and after two days the Amazon Escalation staff reached out to him and guaranteed him that they are going to look into his matter. Ultimately, the remaining quantity was credited to his checking account. He wrote: “I assume they didn’t wish to take up the invitation and inside 2 days of the invitation, I get a name from the Amazon Escalation staff, and so they mentioned my challenge shall be seemed into. The quantity was in my account on December 17 after the decision.”
On the finish of his publish, highlighted that if folks don’t struggle for what they need, they are going to absolutely not get it.

Few aircraft bear the designer’s imprint quite so clearly as the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk. The designer, Edward H. Heinemann, is a legend in the aircraft industry; and the Skyhawk is the ultimate embodiment of his simple, no frills approach to the creation of combat aircraft.
The Skyhawk was conceived as a small, light-weight, carrier-based attack bomber able to deliver nuclear weapons. Typical of Heinemann, he developed a design perfect for the mission. Unlike most carrier-based aircraft, the A-4 did not have folding wings. This allowed a much simpler, lighter wing enabling the A-4 to carry enormous weapons loads. Dubbed “Heinemann’s Hot Rod,” it first flew on June 22, 1954. Delivery to U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps squadrons began in September 1956.
The A-4B was the second production version of the Skyhawk. The B model featured a midair refueling probe on the starboard side of the fuselage and could carry a 330-gallon “buddy” refueling tank to refuel other aircraft inflight. Originally designated A4 D-2, the aircraft was first delivered to the U.S. Navy in September 1957, and redesignated A-4B in 1962. A total of 542 A-4Bs were built.
The A-4 was widely used by the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, and played a major combat role in the Vietnam war. It was also flown by the air forces of many nations, including in combat with Israel and Argentina. The A-4 also flew with the U.S. Navy’s Top Gun fighter school and the famous Blue Angels. When production ended in 1979, Douglas had built 2,960 Skyhawks of all variants.
The Museum’s aircraft (142905) served with Attack Squadron Fifteen (VA-15) in the early 1960s. It is depicted in the markings of an A-4F flown by CDR Frank Green, who was shot down and killed over North Vietnam in 1972. This aircraft is on indefinite loan to the Museum from the U.S. Navy.

Minneapolis Park Board: Reroute freight trains for Southwest LRT

The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board says it wants freight train traffic rerouted to St. Louis Park to make way for a light-rail line from Minneapolis to the southwest suburbs.
The board’s position, in a detailed resolution passed unanimously Wednesday, could complicate the already contentious process of designing the nearly 16-mile light rail line though five cities from Minneapolis to Eden Prairie, with a price tag that could approach $1.8 billion.
St. Louis Park residents have opposed a reroute of freight from the Kenilworth Corridor, which would keep only light rail and recreational trails in the area between Lake of the Isles and Cedar Lake. The Park Board indicated in its resolution that it would accept all three modes of transportation in the corridor only if the light-rail tracks were dropped into a deep tunnel to run under the Kenilworth Channel connecting Lake of the Isles and Cedar Lake. That tunnel could cost more than $300 million, and regional leaders have objected to those costs.
Parks commissioners also indicated they firmly oppose a cheaper “shallow” tunnel option for light rail as too environmentally disruptive. Trains would emerge from the tunnel in a trench to cross over the Kenilworth Channel, a feature that parks commissioner Anita Tabb, who represents the area of Minneapolis on the board, described as “strip mining.” The channel is a popular canoe and kayak route in the summer and ski and skate course in the winter.
The Park Board has the power to challenge the proposed route and designs under federal transportation policies, said Park Board attorney Brian Rice. Those policies were adopted a generation ago, in part due to conflicts between highway and park planners in Minneapolis over proposed enhancements to Hiawatha Avenue (Hwy. 55) through south Minneapolis, including Minnehaha Park. Under federal provisions, transportation projects cannot go through park land or historic sites if a feasible alternative can be found, Rice said.
The Park Board’s position is that the Kenilworth Corridor is part of the Grand Rounds National Scenic Byway system, which has been nominated for the National Register of Historic Places. Eligibility provides special protections under transportation law, Rice said.
Parks commissioners said they didn’t think anyone would be surprised by their resolution. Board chairman John Erwin said it was in keeping with the board’s mission to “preserve and protect the parks.”

Radiation and radioactivity is encountered every day, mostly from natural sources and is harmless.
Sources of man-made radioactivity, are heavily controlled by law. Humans generate useful types of radiation including: X-rays, radio, radar and microwaves.
West Cumbria also houses a nuclear site, reprocessing facility and a potential new-nuclear power station.
Nuclear regulation and monitoring
We and other agencies monitor environmental levels of radiation - through the sampling of air, drinking water, foods, and upon beaches. Businesses and organisations wishing to use radioactive materials must be licensed and these are enforced by the Environment Agency.
Allerdale Borough Council is part of RIMNET a network that advises the Government and local authorities on actions following if a radiation incident occurred. More information can be found on the Gov.UK website.
Mobile phone signals
Mobile phone companies must submit a certificate with each application for a mobile phone mast to prove that the levels are not exceeded. School grounds concerned about radiation can request measurements from Ofcom.

In an era where smartphones are ubiquitous, being able to use all their functions – video, photos, text – is mostly not possible when making emergency calls to 999 in the UK or 112 throughout Europe.
A majority of emergency call centres are still analogue, relying on the same phone technology that’s been employed for decades.
As a work-around, a caller might text a picture or video from a wreck or crime scene to the emergency call taker’s personal smartphone. But what if that video becomes evidence in an investigation? The caller’s phone might be needed in evidence, and it might take time to get it back.
This is one of the scenarios officials throughout Europe and the UK hope to rectify as emergency communications move toward “Next Generation” technology, or NG 999 (in the UK) or NG 112 (in the European Union).
With NG 999 or NG 112 technology the video is captured inside the emergency communications centre. Eventually, the goal of the NG 999 and NG 112 mandates is to get to the point where communicating with an emergency call taker can be similar to a video chat where one can share files, photos and text into the interface, and the information can be transferred and shared from the first call taker to the dispatcher, police in the field, or neighbouring jurisdictions.
An example of this is, if a relative calls 999 from Scotland to report that their mother in Birmingham, England, is having a medical episode, the call would be routed to a control room near the caller in Scotland, but since the emergency is in Birmingham, the NG999 operator will seamlessly be able to transfer the details already provided on the initial call automatically, when the call is transferred to the authorities in Birmingham, so that the worried son in Scotland doesn’t have to repeat the information .
The plan for NG 999 and NG 112 is to go much farther.
In Britain, the goal is for systems to support Voice over IP, wearables, smart speakers and digital home assistants by 2025, according to a 2021 white paper by the British Association of Public Safety Communications Officials (BAPCO).
In the future, new interfaces will be able to handle data from apps, two-way messaging and information from smart sensors, “so, for instance, if there is a sharp temperature rise in a building it would automatically trigger a request for fire and rescue services,” the BAPCO white paper states.
The level of readiness for such modernisation varies across the UK and Europe, where emergency communications are often handled by separate, regional agencies. Some countries, however, have begun to modernise on a national level.
The need for some standardisation of NG 999 efforts, led by the government, has been a topic of discussion in the UK, according to the BAPCO white paper.
“Not all agencies seem to be aware of the possibilities available to them,” the white paper states. “A widely published and promoted roadmap would enable them to build available enhancements into their own development roadmaps.”
These roadmaps demonstrate the capability of NG 999 and NG 112 technologies to transform the way people engage with their emergency services and improve the manner in which services are delivered.

With the release their second album, Attics To Eden, drawing ever closer, we caught up with Madina Lake singer, Nathan Leone to talk about the new record, his twin brother shitting himself and getting beaten up by girls.
Attics To Eden is the second in the set of three in the concept. How is it going so far?
“It was a brutal few months in our rehearsal spot in Chicago. We had poster boards with scribbling and arrows all over the walls trying to assure it all made sense. Music always comes first though and then we weave the storyline around it so as not to influence the honesty of the lyrics. We’ve got the ending all set and will probably start the third in a few months when we’ve decompressed.”
What does the album title mean?
“I believe that happiness does not come in the shape of money or popularity but rather internally. Life, in other words, is how you perceive it in your mind. Attics to Eden refers to the different ways to look at things to bring you happiness.”
What is your favourite song on Attics To Eden?
“‘Criminals’ is probably my favorite song. It has a very dramatic chorus with a cool piano line that seems to nail the message home. It is essentially about the people who create monsters in the world and seeking revenge against them.”
Once the Madina Lake/Adalia concept is finished, in what direction do you see the band going?
“We’re trying to focus on the current record and just thinking about the third. As far as the fourth, we will cross that bridge when it comes! We may start another story or just stick to one-off records. Either way we always try to put as much creativity into the band as possible so hopefully some clever ideas will come!”
How does it feel to get a better reception in the UK than in the US?
“I think the UK was easily the first and best audience to embrace us, which feels pretty fantastic seeing as the UK has produced just about all the best, timeless rock bands ever. The UK audience is by far the most passionate and we love the culture, so as long as the UK will have us, we’ll be ecstatic to come here.”
An affectionate term used for your band is Madeira Cake. What is your favourite cake and why?
“Haha, that’s amazing. My mom used to make us an Oreo cake for our birthday when we were kids. It was layers of crushed up Oreos and vanilla ice cream.”
Do you regret not using that $50,000 you won off Fear Factor to buy loads and loads of booze, drugs and relatively cheap women?
“The only regret is that the money has run out now and all we have to show for it is a bunch of empty bottles, a drug habit and a pile of STDs! Ha ha.”
If the band went super-popular, would you consider appearing in another, less dangerous reality show?
“Haha, I doubt it. We went on that show in attempt to take the piss out of that whole world of reality TV and competition. We are two short, skinny rock kids up against big, jocky frat boys… Didn’t think we had a prayer so we just figured we’d get beat up by the girls on the show and have a laugh at ourselves. The whole thing is quite ridiculous actually!”
Watch the video to ‘Never Take Us Alive’ by Madina Lake
As Chicagoans how do you feel about your former senator being in the White House now?
“I gotta say it feels pretty cool. The US has had a pretty humiliating run the past eight years and hopefully that will change. Chicago has always been a cool city to me – ever since the World Fair in the late 1800s it’s proven itself to be a blue collar, gangster riddled playground!”
How windy is it in Chicago? Who farts the most in the band?
“Haha well… Matthew shit his pants a few months ago and then he accidentally drank a bottle of piss. We have to piss in water bottles on tour because we can’t stop every five minutes. It was late one night and he had a mouthful of sand so just blindly went for it. Then he puked all over the parking lot. It was amazing. He’s had a rough go.”
Tell us a joke.
“A guy goes to his doctor and asks for three viagras. The doc says… ‘You’re young, healthy, what do you need viagra for!?’ The guy says well, I’m going to meet my wife up in the mountains, and my girlfriend is going to secretly meet me up there, and I’ve just met your secretary and set a date with her for the third night.” DOC: “Well, okay, I suppose I can do that” and gives him the three viagra. The next Monday, the guy goes into the doctor with his arm in a sling and a bag of ice on his balls. DOC: “What the hell happened!?” The guy says, “None of them showed up!”
Madina Lake’s second album, Attics To Eden is released on 27 April 2009 via Roadrunner Records

The Jonas Brothers have finally released their comeback album ‘Happiness Begins’, and one of their new songs is particularly special to Joe and his wife Sophie Turner.
The song in question is called ‘Hesitate’, and has been described as a “love letter” from Joe to Sophie.
The record’s lyrics seem to reference the actress’ battle with depression, which she has opened up about in the past.
In the chorus, Joe sings: “I will take your pain / And put it on my heart / I won’t hesitate / Just tell me where to start / I thank the oceans for giving me you / You saved me once and now I’ll save you too / I won’t hesitate for you.”
The news comes after Sophie recently praised Joe for ‘saving her life’ during an interview with The Sunday Times.
She said: “I was going through this phase of being very mentally unwell.”
“He was, like, ‘I can’t be with you until you love yourself, I can’t see you love me more than you love yourself.’ That was something, him doing that. I think he kind of saved my life, in a way.”
