The Fourth Amendment and the 'Exclusionary Rule'
Created by FindLaw's team of legal writers and editors | Last updated February 04, 2019
The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits police officers from conducting unreasonable searches and seizures by requiring them to either have a valid warrant or probable cause. But, what happens if a police officer does conduct a search in violation of the Fourth Amendment and subsequently finds incriminating evidence? Well, that's when the "exclusionary rule" comes into play.
Read on the learn how this rule developed and why we have such a rule in the first place.
The Development of the Exclusionary Rule
For the more than 100 years after its ratification, the Fourth Amendment was of little value to criminal defendants because evidence seized by law enforcement in violation of the warrant or reasonableness requirements was still admissible during the defendant's prosecution.
The U.S. Supreme Court dramatically changed Fourth Amendment jurisprudence in 1914, however, when it handed down its decision in Weeks v. United States. This case involved the appeal of a defendant who had been convicted based on evidence that had been seized by a federal agent without a warrant or other constitutional justification. In reversing the conviction, the Supreme Court effectively created the exclusionary rule. Then, in 1961, the U.S. Supreme Court made the exclusionary rule applicable to the states with its decision in Mapp v. Ohio.
Why Do We Have the Exclusionary Rule?
Designed to deter police misconduct, the exclusionary rule enables courts to exclude incriminating evidence from being introduced at trial upon proof that the evidence was procured in violation of a constitutional provision. The rule allows defendants to challenge the admissibility of evidence by bringing a pre-trial motion to suppress the evidence. If the court allows the evidence to be introduced at trial and the jury votes to convict, the defendant can challenge the propriety of the trial court's decision denying the motion to suppress on appeal.
If the defendant succeeds on appeal, however, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that double jeopardy principles do not bar retrial of the defendant because the trial court's error wasn't addressing the question of guilt or innocence. Nonetheless, obtaining a conviction in the second trial would be significantly more difficult if the evidence suppressed by the exclusionary rule is important to the prosecution.
Companion to the Exclusionary Rule: Fruit of the Poisonous Tree
A legal concept that's related to the exclusionary rule is the "fruit of the poisonous tree" doctrine. Under this doctrine, a court may exclude from trial not only evidence that itself was seized in violation of the U.S. Constitution, but also any other evidence that is derived from an illegal search.
For example, suppose a defendant is arrested for kidnapping and later confesses to the crime. If a court subsequently declares that the arrest was unconstitutional, the confession will also be deemed tainted and ruled inadmissible at any prosecution of the defendant on the kidnapping charge.
Learn More About the Fourth Amendment and the Exclusionary Rule: Speak with an Attorney
If you're facing criminal charges, the exclusionary rule could end up determining the outcome of your case. However, courts do not automatically exclude evidence unlawfully obtained by law enforcement. Instead, it's up to your legal defense team to evaluate the evidence and make the appropriate objections. That's why it's critical to have a strong criminal defense lawyer from the very start of your case.

Franco Piavoli (* 21. Juni 1933 in Pozzolengo, Lombardei) ist ein italienischer Filmregisseur.

Leben
Piavoli schloss ein Studium der Rechtswissenschaften ab, interessierte sich dann aber in erster Linie für Botanik und Verhaltensforschung und wirkte als Fotograf. Ab 1961 drehte er Dokumentarfilme zu seinen Themen, die Beifall seitens der Kritiker fanden. Zwischenzeitlich wandte er sich beinahe vom Filmemachen ab und wäre Lehrer geworden, da das Einkommen als Regisseur kaum für seine Familie ausreichte. 1981 legte er ein abendfüllendes Werk vor, das bildgewaltigen Il pianeta azzurro. In diesem Film zeigt der Naturliebhaber den Zyklus eines Tages und der vier Jahreszeiten auf, die wenigen in den Naturbildern auftauchenden Menschen wirken klein und verloren. Auch in seinen folgenden Filmen waren die Natur, das Vergehen von Zeit und der Kreislauf des Lebens zentrale Themen. Neben der Filmarbeit war Piavoli auch lange am Theater sowie der Oper tätig, in der Spielzeit 1984/1985 inszenierte er etwa zwei Opern von Giacomo Puccini beziehungsweise Giuseppe Verdi.

1989 folgte sein erster Spielfilm: Nostos – il ritorno stellte das Meer und dessen Ruhe in den Mittelpunkt – wie in allen seinen Filmen setzt Piavoli, der sie auch schreibt, filmt und schneidet, auf Bildsprache und minimiert Dialogisches. Sein folgender Film Voci nel Tempo (1996) spielt in einem kleinen lombardischen Dorf und schildert Lebensmomente und Gefühle der Dorfbewohner unterschiedlichen Alters: Die ersten, im Frühling angesiedelten Szenen spielen unter Kindern, dann zeigt er Erwachsene und schließlich sind gegen Filmende die alten Menschen im Herbst zu sehen. In seinem bisher letzten abendfüllenden Spielfilm Al primo soffio di vento (2002) folgt die Kamera den sehr unterschiedlichen Lebenswelten der Mitglieder einer sechsköpfigen italienischen Familie. 2007 widmete das Centro Coscienza seinen frühen Fotografien eine Retrospektive. In den 2010er-Jahren inszenierte Piavoli mehrere Kurzfilme.

Piavoli, der die Produktionsfirma Zefirofilm gegründet hat, wurde mit seinen Arbeiten vielfach ausgezeichnet, so 1983 mit einem Silbernen Band bei den Nastro d'Argento sowie 1996 mit dem FEDIC-Award bei den Internationalen Filmfestspielen in Venedig. Prominente Regiekollegen wie Bernardo Bertolucci und Andrei Tarkowski fanden Lob für ihn. Der Filmhistoriker Gian Piero Brunetta schreibt in seiner Geschichte des italienischen Films: "Franco Piavoli, Einzelgänger und Anomalie, entwickelte eine Poesie und eine Fähigkeit, Geschichten nur durch Bilder zu erzählen, wie kein anderer in der jüngeren Kinovergangenheit – in Italien und im Ausland". Piavolis Filme seien voll "epischen und lyrischen Atems", der Einfluss der antiken Dichter wie Homer oder Lucretius sei bei ihm spürbar. "Er weiß wie man Wind, Wasser, Himmel und Wolken zu den Stars des Filmes macht. Er weiß, wie man die von der Natur ausgesandten Symptome und Signale einfängt. Wie ein Schamane bringt er diese in eine symphonische Geschichte unter, in der Geräusche und Klänge nicht weniger wichtig als die Bilder sind."

Paulding affirmed the preeminence of place, tradition, and orthodoxy in the antebellum North even as he forces of capitalism, Evangelicalism, and materialistic modernity eroded the gentrified and agrarian culture of the Hudson River Valley. Paulding never wavered from his belief in prescriptive truth and the transcendence of place. He derided American democracy, viewing it as "the petty ambition of groveling politicians, who could never expect to gain distinction, except by pampering the vanity of their constituents at home." A confirmed Jeffersonian Democrat, Paulding sometimes championed agrarian and sometimes southern interests because he saw the reflection of the bucolic, romantic, and aristocratic ideal of the Hudson Valley in the Atlantic South.
Paulding's aversion to industrialization and urbanization bore itself out in his perception of what he termed "progress." He disdained urban politics and believed that "if not kept under the control of honest common sense," progressive democracy would "end in carrying the world around in a circle, till it gets back to the point from whence it started in the aforesaid progress. That is, to a state of nature." Paulding saw the continual human "refinements" of nature, such as urbanization and industrialization, as ultimately destructive, producing a "mass of human misery." He conjectured hopefully that the "invariable law of Providence" would ultimately restore humanity and nature to the "place whence we started." That place, in the mind of Paulding, remained distinctly agrarian.
Loss of place and leisure formed what Paulding saw as the twin tragedies of modernity. In his novel Westward Ho!, Paulding painted a picture of nostalgic remembrance with the Dangerfield family, fictional "high-mettled cavaliers" that undertake the arduous journey across the Blue Ridge to start a new life in Kentucky. Newness, progress, and escape from the traditional aristocratic world of Tidewater Virginia form the backdrop of Paulding's novel. Each of these emerged not as virtues but as consequences. The Dangerfield's profligacy forced them to sell their place, Virginia, and move into Kentucky. Likewise they loss their aristocratic penchant for leisurely pursuit and took up the plow in order to survive, not to flourish. The Dangerfield's departure from the placed rustic ideal destroyed their place in civilization. Throughout the novel Paulding lamented the loss of the Dangerfield's traditional society as much as he praised the family's bittersweet rebirth in the West.

What did Michael Ball say…? Love, Love Changes Everything!
We were first made aware of cupid's arrow hitting the target when we received a message on the contacts form on our website, thanking us for our involvement in a relationship that was well on its way to be a marriage.
18 months ago, Chris and Diana met on the Planet X Facebook page and haven't really looked back. We were so pleased to hear this we sent them some cycling gifts to say thank you, we also asked for their background stories so we could show everyone out there – miracles really can happen.
They have kindly shared the details of their romance and we think it makes great reading.
"As a little 10-year-old girl in Spain, I used to cycle to my tennis and English lessons at the weekends. These would be very short (3 miles) rides, on my brother's steel bike which was way too big for me. I never had my own bike as a kid.
Fast forward 17 years and I found myself in London, slightly overweight and sharing the mentality of "I can't do any sports" with thousands of other people. But, as transport was so expensive, I decided to buy a bicycle to commute to work (6 miles from Clapham to Farringdon). I decided to buy a hybrid which was recommended by the local cycle shop assistant. This later became a pivotal point in my life.
I started cycling every day to work. For those who cycle in London, we all know how competitive the Thames embankment can be. I found myself trying to keep up with people on carbon road bikes. I didn't know I was so competitive!
It took one outing to Richmond Park on my bike to completely change my mind about cycling. I found myself doing loops on my own and timing my best laps. If one day I had done 2 laps (6.5 miles/lap), the next I wouldn't leave until I had done three! As I started getting into it more and more, I decided that I wanted to join a club.
All local London clubs required that their members have a road bike - I decided that it was time to make the transition, leave behind my trusted hybrid and get myself a road bike. Following a recommendation from a work friend who had a Planet X Pro Carbon, I decided to have a look on the website and it was love at first sight!
All of this took four months and I went from cycling 6 miles on my commute to going out with the club at the time (London Dynamo) and cycling 80+ miles on Sat and Sundays.
Of course, as a Planet X enthusiast, I was avidly following the Facebook page for updates on bikes and accessories. One day I saw a really nice piece of cycling kit and left a comment asking if they would do a lady's specific version. A minute later, I received a new friend request from this guy I didn't know at all.
I always decline friend requests from strangers, but as luck would have it, I was slightly bored that day and decided to have a snoop on his profile. I saw that he cycled, rode motorbikes and liked cats! What else did I need? I accepted his friend request and two days later we were cycling together to work. A year and 9 months later, we are engaged and I count my lucky stars that I didn't hit "Ignore".
"Well… Here's a short history of my biking years.
I Had a mountain bike when I was a young lad to help me with my paper round and later I got into BMX, I would build dirt jumps with my brother and other local kids and ride them like a hero!
But one day, the inevitable happened and I grew up, I went to University and had to make adult decisions about my future. I basically just stopped riding bikes.
After University I got a job in the 'big smoke' (London), as with most businesses my company offered a 'cycle to work' scheme so I started looking at buying a bike. The deal looked great so I bought an off road Specialized Hard Rock, I really liked having a mountain bike but felt I wasn't using it enough and the dirt jumps we had once made had eroded in time.
The Rock Hopper lived in my flat, I remember looking at it one Monday morning and thinking, 'F it', I'm going to ride this to work - I surprised myself, covering 15 miles on my first cycle commute. This is brilliant(!) I thought, I'm getting fitter, it costs nothing and the sense of freedom was overwhelming.
I then bought slicks and SPDs which transformed the bike to a hybrid road warrior, I became quicker and quicker and eventually bought a road bike. I now have five bikes, a single speed commuter, a fixed gear track bike, a very light carbon racer, the Rock hopper and an old Raleigh pub bike.
My older brother had also fallen back in love with cycling and we decided to join our local cycle club, Addiscombe CC. They showed us how to ride in a group, tips and tricks for nutrition etc. and it was great to ride with other likeminded folk who all shared our passion.
One slow afternoon, I was browsing the Planet X FB page when I notice this girl commenting on a cycle jersey, she was asking if it came in a women's version, I creepily stalked her photos, saw that she loved cycling and for the second time thought 'F it', just add her as a friend - She responded straight away with, "errrrr excuse me, do I know you?"
We hit it off straight away, we realised that we both loved cycling, shared bike pics and inspirational quotes like, "It never gets easier, you just get faster" – Greg LeMon and we met for a drink to check it wasn't all a bit too weird.
For our second date we planned to meet on our commute to work, both trying to impress each-other. Our second date was a bike ride!!
Fast-forward 18 months and I steal Diana away from her cycle club and she joins Addiscombe with me. We ride together on our way to work when we can, on the weekends with the club and find ourselves planning cycle trips around the UK and even Europe, we sling the bikes in the back of the old estate Merc and we're off.
Now, Really – who cute are these guys really?


In the framework of Euroleague basketball this coming Friday will be the Russian Derby, UNICS Kazan on the platform will make the Moscow team CSKA. This is a rivalry in which the army are notable favorites, even despite the factor site.
UNICS failed this season in the Euroleague, the team from Kazan after the 26 games played in the tournament managed to win only 7 times with 19 defeats. This is the second result from the bottom in the League, the situation is worse only in the Italian team of Olimpia Milano. On its site, the team from Tatarstan in the framework of the European Cup played 14 games in which he managed to win only 5 times. At least five home games Kazan only lost, but have to remind that CSKA – the main rival against which UNICS will play to the maximum.
Unlike UNICS, CSKA holds another powerful season in the Euroleague, the team from the capital of Russia is fighting for first place in the peloton with real Madrid. In the 26 games played in the Euroleague matches, CSKA managed to win 19 times in 7 defeats. On departure Muscovites have won 7 times, with 6 defeats. The result is great, but you need to say that the army field more vulnerable than the army home.

Q: Spring MVC to Spring REST tutorials misunderstanding I have developed a Spring MVC - Hibernate application as told here.
Now I am trying to modify this code to create a REST application as told here.
I have added Jackson library to the classpath and added @XmlRootElement.
@XmlRootElement(name = "persons")
public class Person implements Serializable {

But if I do a application/json request then I still get the html code back.
What I am doing wrong / forgot to do?
My controller:
    @RequestMapping(value = "/persons", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    @ResponseBody
    public String getPersons(Model model) {

        logger.info("Received request to show all persons");

        // Retrieve all persons by delegating the call to PersonService
        List<Person> persons = personService.getAll();
        model.addAttribute("persons", persons);

        return "personspage";
    }

Changed the Controller, but get an error:

ype Status report

message /Buddies/WEB-INF/jsp/main/persons/1.jsp

description The requested resource (/Buddies/WEB-INF/jsp/main/persons/1.jsp) is not available.

A: Your controller should look like this:
@RequestMapping(value = "/persons/{id}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
@ResponseBody
public Person getPerson(@PathVariable int id) {
    Person person = personService.getPersonById(id);
    return person;
}

If you want to return a list of Person objects, you need an extra wrapper object, see: Using JAXB to unmarshal/marshal a List<String>.

A: You are probably missing AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter and messageConverter in your spring configuration.

The food stamp president
Wednesday, January 21. 2015
Barack Obama is indeed the Food Stamp President. Food stamp rolls were 31.9 million in 2009, now have ballooned to 46.4 million recipients. With the prevalent open borders philosophy now in use, there is no telling how large the number will grow.
Michigan now offers welfare assistance and forms in Arabic, reports ConservativeTribune.com. Anything to accommodate in America 2015. One can never be inclusive enough.
Congressman Ron Paul was one of the nation's first elected officials to support Ronald Reagan for president in 1976 and actively campaigned for Reagan in 1976 and 1980. He was the first member of Congress to endorse Reagan's candidacy in 1980. Compare Ron Paul's actions to the opinions of media-designated "conservative" George Will. Will claimed in 1973 that Reagan was too old (age 62) to win and suggested Republicans nominate Tennessee liberal Republican Senator Howard Baker instead. Baker went on to vote for Jimmy Carter's Panama Canal sellout. Voters noticed Baker's liberalism and doubletalk and sent him to an early exit when he ran in the 1980 Republican primary for president. So much for George Will's opinions. There are many conservative voices out there, not on television, who would be a lot sharper than George Will, who has been hanging around the leftwing Washington P- - - newsrag far too long. George has breathed too much of the polluted D.C. air.
I'll take Gun Owners of America (GunOwners.org) any time over the National Rifle Association. I still remember the NRA endorsing liberal Democrat Roy Barnes for reelection a few years back, in 2002. This brought on a classic response, a great one-liner from an aide to Republican Sonny Perdue, who went on to handily defeat Barnes: "Roy Barnes doesn't know a gun from a bass boat," said the Perdue aide. Every poll showed Barnes and liberal Democrat Senator Max Cleland winning reelection that year. Every poll was wrong in both cases.
Retired Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas) says of GOA "The only no-compromise gun lobby in Washington, D.C."
Dr. Ron Paul's toll-free message number is 1-888-322-1414.
The Bear on TheAbsurdReport.com says, "The real unemployment rate is around 11 to 12%," and also claims the BLS (Bureau of Labor) statistics of 5% growth and 5.4% unemployment rate are lies. Imagine the government fibbing to us. I'm beginning not to trust those folks.
"The 5.4% unemployment rate is as big a lie as 'you can keep your doctor,' and I say this because the BLS does not count everyone who is unemployed."
The Bear on TheAbsurdReport.com
Many workers have given up looking for work and are no longer counted as unemployed.
"First you win the argument, then you win the vote."
Have you noticed – American voters do not like politicians ceding power to international groups or meddlesome United Nations bureaucrats. We do not want to be citizens of the world, under foreign control.

No entrepreneur launches a startup and hopes that the business will progress at a snail's pace. For most new business owners, rapid growth and market recognition are at the top of the list of goals for their fledgling venture. But immediate success has always been the exception, not the rule — and even at that, nothing truly happens overnight.
While there's no "magic bullet" solution that guarantees instant results, there are a few things you can do to boost your sales and brand image as quickly as possible. Small business experts and leaders shared their secrets for accelerating your company's growth.
Hire the right people. Before you can even think about your company's growth trajectory, you need to ensure that you have a solid staff that can help you achieve it.
Reduce your risks. Risk is an inevitable part of starting and growing a business. It's impossible to control everything, but there are plenty of ways to limit internal and external threats to your company and its growth. One important resource to help you accomplish this is your business insurance provider.
Be adaptable. One trait that successful startups often have in common is the ability to switch directions quickly in response to changes in the market. Lanng noted that an agile approach to development, both in terms of your product and your company, will help you grow more quickly.
Focus on your customer experience. Customers' perceptions of your business can really make or break you. Do a good job, and they'll quickly sing your praises on social media; mess it up, and they'll tell the world even faster. Fast growth depends on making your current and potential customers happy with their experience.
Dennis Tanjeloff, president and CEO of Astro Gallery of Gems, agreed, and said that listening to your customers and giving them what they want is of utmost importance.
Invest in yourself. In the early stages of your business, you'll likely see a very lean profit margin (or no profit at all), so any money you do make should go directly toward helping you grow.
Always think ahead. While agility is an important quality for a startup, you can't fly by the seat of your pants when you're running a business. Planning your next step, even if that means anticipating all possible scenarios, is the best way to stay grounded and secure as your business evolves.


For those of you who haven't tried to reserve a campsite in Yosemite these days, it's a pretty stressful process. The campsites seem to sell out within minutes of being put on sale...and you have to plan months in advance if you hope to get one for any date during the summer.
Of course, as any good marketing expert will tell you, when there is scarcity, there is also a black market. So now there are a few people who are snapping up the Yosemite campsites and "flipping" them as if they were cult wines or real estate.
Only one problem: The NPS says that you will need a photo ID to check into your campsite, and if your name doesn't match the name they have on their reservation order, you are going to be out of luck.
Which means that there are going to be some unhappy campers in Yosemite this summer. sigh.
On the other hand, if you have a backpacking permit, you can camp in one of the backpacking campgrounds in the park for free for one night before and one night after your backpacking trip. And between those nights, you can camp in the wilderness and see the best part of the park.


Moya Brennan • View topic - Happy St Patrick's Day!
Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona Daoibh!!!
Have a great day on Saturday - Pictures of the parade in Dublin to follow, and I assume it will be shown on RTE - so you might want to give rte.ie a go on Saturday - ..... The parade starts at 12noon UK/Ireland time.
Re: Happy St Patrick's Day!
Happy St. Patrick's Day to all of you!!! Dave, have a good time in Dublin.
Happy St. Paddy's in advance everyone! I'll be attending a concert of "Irish Mass" composed by Gilles Mathieu which will take place in my home city here in Finland as part of the annual Oulu Music Festival. All the performers of the Mass are Finns, but they have been learning the work's Gaelic lyrics with an American who lives here in Oulu but has got Irish roots (and is the director of the annual Oulu Irish Music Festival). Can hardly wait!
Today I was visiting my local bookstore cafe and saw a wall of green books set up in honor of St Patrick's Day. One of them more than caught my glance: Granuaile: Ireland's Pirate Queen by Anne Chambers. I told my friend there about Moya and her Forum and the G . She said "Well you could buy it for her." so I explained it would have to ship across the Atlantic, and she understood.
Happy up coming St. Pats Day everyone!
Indeed - Lá Fhéile Padraig Shona Daoibh to Moya, Clannad, all the family and to all the forummers - have a great day tomorrow!
Happy St. Patrick's Day from me as well, everybody! Not much time for me to listen to Brennan clan's music today, but I will be wearing a greenish dress today as I'm taking part to the dress rehearsal of this year's Easter Passion Play! And, if the time permits, I will be playing one of my two bits of music there on one of my tinwhistles!

Ergon Update May 2019
Decent work and development finance institutions
This report, researched and written by Ergon, looks at how DFIs can and do contribute to decent work and job quality through their client investments. Produced on behalf of a group of European development finance institutions (EDFIs), including FMO, DEG, CDC, Proparco and Swedfund, it includes case studies of EDFI work in Kenya, Uganda and Bangladesh.
Good practice note on managing modern slavery risks
Ergon was commissioned by a group of DFIs (CDC, IFC, EBRD with support from UK DFID) to produce this good practice note, in conjunction with the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI). It provides guidance for DFIs, banks, private equity firms and other financial institutions that provide capital to private companies in emerging markets. The publication offers advice for a range of sectors where risks of modern slavery are high. The Good Practice Note is of relevance and practical use for a range of company functions, including management, human resources, sustainability and procurement.
Sharing learning
Training on labour and human rights – global
We are busy with a range of practical and in-depth training programmes focused on implementing human rights and labour commitments in operational contexts. We are about to deliver a wide-ranging programme on human rights through investment relationships for in-house staff at a major European DFI.
In addition, we have also just completed two training sessions for the World Bank in Washington DC on the labour aspects of the Bank's new Social Standards and for the Asian Development Bank in Manila, focused on ADB's labour standards commitments. The latter work was led by Steve Gibbons and Macduy Ngo.
Speaking and facilitating events
Steve Gibbons spoke at the recent Sedex conference (26-27 March) in London on Using buyer and supplier collaboration to deliver global goals. Earlier in February he also facilitated a session on Measuring the uptake and impact of due diligence at the OECD Forum on Due Diligence in the Garment and Footwear Sector. Also in Paris, Steve participated in a panel discussion looking at modern slavery issues in the context of sustainable fashion trends, organised by the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office.
Promoting gender equality – global
Many of our gender-focused projects were highlighted in our last Update, issued on International Women's Day. In addition, we are about to launch a new study on the role of women in the energy sector in Kazakhstan for EBRD and Kazakhstan's Association of Oil & Gas and Energy Sector Organisations ("KAZENERGY"). The study will include a survey of KAZENERGY's member companies in order to build a detailed quantitative picture of women's employment in the sector (including in leadership and operational roles), and will highlight examples of good practice from companies operating in Kazakhstan. Our gender work is led by Kirsten Newitt.
Worker welfare assessment – KuwaitMatthew Waller and Stuart Bell, supported by a team of local consultants and worker interviewers, have just completed a major worker welfare labour assessment for a large oil and gas construction project in Kuwait. The site accounts for up to 10,000 workers, most of whom are migrants from South and South East Asia and are accommodated in worker camps.
Human rights and sports events
We are continuing to build a major professional practice related to the human rights impacts of mega sporting events. Macduy Ngo is just back from a roundtable in Morocco on African Sporting Events and Human Rights, organised by the Centre for Sports and Human Rights (CSHR) and hosted by the British Ambassador to Morocco. Macduy presented to Morocco's National Council on Human Rights, other African national human rights institutions (NHRIs), and representatives from African sporting federations and organizing committees. We are also working with several sports clients on human rights policy and impacts.These projects build on our independent human rights assessment of Human rights in Canada, Mexico and the USA in the context of a potential FIFA 2026 World Cup. This was commissioned by the joint Canada, Mexico and USA 'United Bid', which was subsequently awarded the competition by FIFA in June 2018. Contact Steve Gibbons for more information.
Regional stakeholder consultations – global
As part of our continuing multi-year and multi-country research project for the European Commission looking at the application of core labour standards and working conditions in 29 countries, we have been conducting extensive stakeholder consultations. Sam Kellyhas been in Peru, while Catherine Morgans has been following up with stakeholders in Honduras and Guatemala. Further consultations are ongoing in more than 20 countries led by our network of local experts. The project is commissioned by the Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion (DG EMPL) and is financed under the EU Programme for Employment and Social Innovation. For more information on the project, contact Alastair Usher.
Improving detection and remediation of forced labour in agriculture – India, Guatemala
ISEAL has published various outputs from our recent project for the Sustainable Agriculture Network and Rainforest Alliance looking at new data sources and methods that can be used to identify risks of forced labour in various agricultural value chains. The project aimed to find new methods of identifying high-risk locations beyond the tools available to auditors. We produced a methodology to assess vulnerability to forced labour in agricultural supply chains, consisting of a set of indicators, feasible means of measurement, weighting, user information and data sources. These were tailored to two pilot countries – India and Guatemala. Brett Dodge, Ergon's project leader, explains more about the project in a webinar, available here.
Human rights risk assessments – global
We are conducting several supply chain human rights risk assessments for clients in sectors ranging from personal care to oil & gas. These assessments draw on our in-house country risk database (covering more than 150 countries) and are tailored to the client's business activities and sectoral exposure to arrive at a priority list of high risk sourcing countries or supply chains or products (depending on the company). As well as our human rights risk ranking database, we have more than 80 detailed country risk briefings on labour rights issues. Contact Stuart Bell for more information.
New office, new staff
Going Dutch
Our Dutch subsidiary (Ergon Associates B.V.) and office in Haarlem, Netherlands is now fully operational and hosted a fantastic Ergon staff strategy retreat in early March. Great discussions (not to mention the brewery tour).

The Definitive Guide to Identity & Access Management
All You Need to Know about Identity & Access Management and Finding the Right Solution for Your Requirements

I have duly noted KuppingerCole's data privacy policy containing further information on the processing of my personal data.
Identity & Access Management (IAM) is one of today's core disciplines of IT (Information Technology), and an essential element within every cybersecurity strategy.
However, IAM is not limited to security, but is also one of the enablers of digital transformation.
IAM Core Technologies: IGA, Access Management, PAM
Dealing with customers, consumers, or connected things is about dealing with their digital identities. It is about IAM.
IAM, sometimes abbreviated to Identity Management, is easy to describe: It is everything that helps in managing identities and their access.
It is about the "who" and the "what": Who can do what in IT? Who can log on? Who can access which data?
IAM consists of a wide range of technologies. However, there are three technologies at the core:
User Lifecycle Management & Access Governance
Access Management & Federation
While these areas form the foundation of IAM, there are more elements in IAM such as directory services as sort of a database of all the users, and Identity Verification for the first-time proof of an identity during the onboarding process, e.g., by comparing the face via video with the photo on the person's passport.
Click here to watch another video on Virtual Directory Services.
The first core area of IAM, User Lifecycle Management & Access Governance, is also referred to as IGA (Identity Governance & Administration).
User Lifecycle Management is also called Identity Provisioning. But what are all these terms about?
Essentially, there are two parts: the management of the user's lifecycle, and the governance of access.
The Foundation: User Lifecycle Management & Identity Provisioning
User Lifecycle Management is about the entire identity management process from creating a digital identity when onboarding a person such as a new employee, to retiring that digital identity.
It involves creating user accounts in systems and managing changes, e.g., when someone moves to another department.
These processes are commonly referred to as JML (joiner, mover & leaver) processes.
User Lifecycle Management supports and automates such processes.
The other part of User Lifecycle Management & Access Governance is about requesting, approving, and reviewing access entitlements.
It is about who should have access to which systems, applications, and data.
Automated and manual requests for data must be supported, including access request and approval workflows.
Access reviews are required for regulatory compliance, to check regularly whether the access is still needed or must be revoked.
User Lifecycle Management is tightly coupled with Identity Provisioning.
While User Lifecycle Management looks at the JML processes and other parts of the lifecycle, Identity Provisioning is about technically connecting IGA with the target systems such as Microsoft Active Directory or SAP, for e.g., creating user accounts, and assigning entitlements.
Authentication and More: Access Management & Identity Federation
The second major discipline of IAM, Access Management & Federation or just Access Management, is about access to systems at runtime.
After a user has an account, that user will log on.
That requires authentication, i.e. the verification that credentials such as user name and password have been entered correctly.
Access Management also includes federation to other systems, a concept where for instance a user is authenticated in his organization and then logs on to the organization's tenant of a SaaS (Software as a Service) application such as Salesforce.
In that case, Salesforce trusts the organization to manage authentication correctly, and federates the users from that organization to the respective tenant in Salesforce.
Access federation is based on established standards such as OAuth2, SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language), and OIDC (OpenID Connect).
Get the latest updates on current trends, topics, and issues in the world of information security.
Protecting Most Critical Access: Privileged Access Management
Last not least, there is PAM or Privileged Access Management, which is a most technical discipline of IAM that deals with the specifics of highly privileged users such as administrators logging into systems, e.g., as Windows administrator or root user on Linux.
Some of the aspects covered by PAM solutions are rotating passwords for shared accounts, and session management.
Shared accounts such as root can be used by multiple persons.
To mitigate the risks, users of privileged accounts must not use the same password.
PAM ensures (amongst many other features) that privileged account users always get a new password for each new access.
The session management part of PAM is about recording sessions, e.g., for forensics, and for logging and monitoring what happens during privileged access.
Traditionally, these three groups of capabilities have been deployed on-premises, with specialized tools for each of the areas.
Most organizations started with User Lifecycle Management & Access Governance, and Access Management, adding Privileged Access Management later.
The Tough Part of IAM: Connecting to the Managed IT Systems
Creating user accounts in a range of systems such as Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft Azure Active Directory, LDAP servers, on email servers, mainframes, business applications such as SAP, specialized banking apps, new SaaS services, and many more requires technical integration with these systems via connectors.
That part of integration is challenging, despite SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) becoming increasingly established as a standard.
Standards Evolving: SaaS Is Easier to Manage
With the shift of workloads to SaaS services, SCIM for User Lifecycle Management and other standards such as OAuth and OIDC for authentication are becoming the norm, simplifying integration.
For Access Management & Federation, this is already the norm.
For the other areas, there is also a tendency towards IDaaS (Identity as a Service), even while the maturity of solutions is still is lower than for Access Management.
Modern IAM platforms deliver various benefits.
The obvious one is that they are deployed using as-a-service models, avoiding the complex installation and operation of IAM on-premises.
However, integration with legacy backends such as mainframes still requires setting up connectors..
The Need for Flexibility: Pure On-Premises IAM Is Not Sufficient Anymore
Most, but not all, IDaaS offerings in the market are available in both pure SaaS deployments and other options, enabling, e.g., hybrid deployments or a simplified migration from on-premises to the cloud.
Modern architectures, based on microservices and building on container-based deployments, give the customer much more flexibility in deployment than traditional models.
Updates and patches in SaaS are managed by the providers, simplifying operations and allowing the customers to concentrate on the user-focused and business-focused aspects of IAM, instead of technology, such as building efficient workflows and managing user access.
The Role of Microservices and APIs in IAM
Furthermore, customization is simplified in modern architectures, because customizations can be well-segregated from the IAM service into separate microservices.
This also is due to the fact that modern IAM comes with a comprehensive set of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), which expose the capabilities of the IAM products and can be utilized in customization.
IAM, over the years, evolved – and became increasingly complex.
Aside from the major disciplines, many specialized solutions appeared and, sometimes, disappeared again.
With IAM starting to support other groups of users such as customers, new disciplines such as CIAM (Consumer/Customer IAM) evolved.
Unifying IAM: Managing Access of Everyone and Everything to Every Service
The paradigm of the Identity Fabric, defined by KuppingerCole Analysts, provides model for a unified approach to IAM.
It starts with looking at what IAM is for: The task of IAM is enabling seamless, controlled, and secure access of everyone and everything to every service. Not more, not less.
The Identity Fabric is based on analyzing the major capabilities required by an organization, which should be done based on the use cases (such as managing access of consumers to an ecommerce system) and the required technical capabilities.
The latter can be, e.g., based on a Reference Architecture.
These capabilities are grouped into services that are delivered by technology.
Ideally, that technology is provided in modern architectures, i.e., container-based deployments and based on microservices, providing a comprehensive set of APIs.
Join an international community of industry experts, thought leaders and IT analysts at KCLive Events and gain vital insights into latest identity and cybersecurity topics.
Identity Fabrics: Enabling Both Agility and Gradual Migration
Identity Fabrics support both legacy applications, and modern SaaS applications and digital services.
They connect to existing solutions, either directly or by utilizing legacy IAM solutions.
They also use standards such as SCIM and OIDC, but also specialized connectors, to connect to modern SaaS services.
Based on the broad set of APIs, they also enable modern digital services to request IAM services.
Thus, a digital service, e.g., can use APIs for registering new users, instead of creating a user registration capability for each new digital service.
Identity Fabrics help in moving from traditional IAM architectures towards modern architectures, but also in unifying different IAM initiatives across capability areas such as User Lifecycle Management and Access/Federation, or across identity types, such as Employee IAM and Customer IAM.
Hybrid Event
European Identity and Cloud Conference 2021
Online & in Munich, Germany
On a more technical level, there is the KuppingerCole IAM Reference Architecture, which describes the various components that make up IAM or are related to IAM.
The Reference Architecture is split into four vertical columns and three horizontal layers.
Let's dive right in.
Administration, Auditing, Authentication, and Authorization
The vertical columns are Administration, Auditing, Authentication, and Authorization – the four As of IAM.
Administration: Managing digital identities, the user accounts, passwords, etc.
Auditing: The governance capabilities such as access review or SoD (Segregation of Duties) controls.
Authentication: Everything around authentication, from Identity Verification and risk- and context-based authentication to Identity Federation.
Authorization: The authorization of access requests, e.g., by supporting requests from digital services to authorize users at runtime, the so-called Dynamic Authorization Management.
Anne Bailey and Matthias Reinwarth take on Verified Digital Identity in an episode of the Analyst Chat podcast. Listen in and explore what these are, why they are becoming increasingly important and where they add new aspects to the concept of digital identity.
See all episodes of the Analyst Chat here.
The horizontal layers are Core IAM, Extended IAM, and related areas.
The latter may be considered as part of IAM, or separate disciplines. As with every reference architecture, this is a blueprint that can be adjusted to specific requirements of an organization.
It helps in identifying and prioritizing the relevant elements in an IAM and creating the roadmap towards the own IAM infrastructure.
Even in the core IAM market, there is already more than 100 vendors.
Looking at all the specialized disciplines, there are a hundreds of vendors.
Let's take a look at the key players of each segment.
Key Players in IGA
Thus, identifying the right set of capabilities – e.g., by utilizing the IAM Reference Architecture – and defining a blueprint – e.g., based on the Identity Fabrics model – is the foundation to identify the capabilities and a reasonable set of technology providers for the IAM core capabilities and specialized further capabilities that are required.
For User Lifecycle Management & Access Governance, the leading vendors (based on Overall Leadership in the relevant KuppingerCole Leadership Compasses) include, in alphabetical order, Broadcom, EmpowerID, Hitachi ID, IBM, Micro Focus, Microsoft, Okta, Omada, One Identity, Oracle, RSA, SailPoint, SAP, and Saviynt.
Key Players in Access Management
For Access Management & Federation, these are, again in alphabetical order, Broadcom, CyberArk, ForgeRock, IBM, Ilantus, Micro Focus, Microsoft, Okta, OneLogin, Oracle, Ping Identity, and RSA.
Get practical insights and hands-on solutions for your business challenges in more than 60 webinars per year – live or on-demand.
Key Players in Privileged Access Management
For Privileged Access Management, these are (in alphabetical order) BeyondTrust, Broadcom, Centrify, CyberArk, Hitachi ID, One Identity, SSH, Thycotic, and Wallix.
However, as mentioned, there are many more vendors in these market segments as well as in the overall market.
Our KuppingerCole Leadership Compass and Market Compass documents provide a comprehensive overview about the most relevant IAM vendors.
Selecting IAM vendors – as with every other vendor in IT – should always start with the requirements.
What are the main use cases and what are the most relevant technical capabilities? Which areas should be prioritized?
Don't Start With the Tool – Understand Your Requirements First
Based on the requirements, the relevant market segments must be identified.
Don't compare apples and oranges, but look for the right solutions for the right problem.
Again, the KuppingerCole Leadership Compass and Market Compass documents as well as the Buyer's Compass, list key requirements, criteria, and critical capabilities to provide guidance.
For the market segment, a longlist of vendors containing all vendors that may be a fit should be created.
In a first round of evaluation, the four to six vendors that are the best fit from a high-level capability perspective, but also with respect to supported deployment models, should be selected.
These are then included in the RfI (Request for Information) and RfP (Request for Proposal).
The RfI looks in detail at functional and non-functional requirements, while the RfP adds the cost perspective. The RfI process also includes vendor presentation.
The Right Approach: Longlist, Shortlist, Proof of Concept
From the shortlisted vendors, commonly two are included in a subsequent PoC (Proof of Concept), where major use cases and capabilities are tested in practice, before making a final decision and moving to contract negotiations.
When looking at this from a high-level perspective, it is most important to select vendors that support the full breadth of systems well, in modern architectures and deployments.
It is equally important to find a good balance between supporting all the specific requirements and a reasonably small set of providers to avoid ending up with a zoo of tools.
Machine Learning systems are ideally suited to the tasks of systems management where there are clear rules and well-defined environments.
IAM is under constant change. Cloud first strategies, IAM modernization, modern architecture models and agile IT are just some of the factors driving the evolution of IAM.
Don't stop with where you are on your IAM journey, but always look for what is next in IAM.
IAM is constantly evolving. There are many new evolutions and trends in IAM. Three of the most important ones are:
Identity of things, devices, and services: IAM is not only about humans. It is also about the identity of things (such as in IoT, the Internet of Things), of devices (such as mobile devices), and services (such as apps or software robots). IAM also is about the relationship between humans, things, and devices. Digital transformation use cases do not work without supporting all these devices and their relationships – just think about the different people owning and driving connected vehicles and controlling these with apps from their smartphones.
Decentralized Identity: While identities traditionally have been managed by the applications, the reuse of identities, e.g., as a consumer dealing with many retailers, has become essential. With the concept of decentralized identities (DIDs), there is a new paradigm that supports this concept.
Integration into other platforms: More and more identity capabilities are shifting into SaaS and IaaS platforms, including, e.g., ITSM/ESM (IT Service Management/Enterprise Service Management). This allows for a more seamless integration of processes. That integration brings both opportunities and challenges, with the risk of identity capabilities sprawling across too many places.
Again: There is continual innovation in IAM, which delivers new options for customers.
Modern architectures such as the Identity Fabric help in preparing for IAM evolution, in contrast to the traditional, monolithic IAM tools running on-premises.
Ready for a new, a better, a more modern IAM? Understand today's and the future requirements, make a plan, define your own IAM and Identity Fabric and execute on it, for serving the Digital Transformation of your organization.
7 Steps Towards A Successful IAM Program
Get your stakeholders on board
Understand the requirements of business and IT
Define a program, and gather the funding
Define your blueprint & architecture – your vision of a future Identity Fabric that fits to your organization
Build your IAM organization
Select the technology & tools you need, based on your requirements, blueprint & architecture
Execute in well-defined steps – the projects within your program
IAM is at the core of the digital transformation, at the core of cybersecurity, and at the core of regulatory compliance.
It is essential, therefore, to have both a mature and a modern IAM in place. For many organizations, there is a need for IAM modernization, shifting from traditional approaches towards a modern IAM.
Both the models such as the KuppingerCole Identity Fabric, and the technology, as described in the KuppingerCole Leadership Compass and Market Compass documents, are available for building a modern IAM infrastructure.

I've been using the company for over 5 years now and I'm totally delighted with the service they offer. The staff are friendly, helpful, responsive and hard working.
I've recently put my portfolio with Purple Frog, they have let the properties immediately, for the rents I requested. The standard of care is higher than that of any other agent I've dealt with.
As landlords it's massively helpful dealing with an agency that understands our business so well. We would recommend them to any landlord.
We moved to Purple Frog 3 years ago. They have a tight knit group of professional staff who are excellent at their job. We wouldn't use anyone else!
How do you feel about Purple Frog?

Q: Does silicone rubber have a fundamental frequency? I'm wondering whether impulse excitation techniques may be used to derive the Young's Modulus and Poisson Ratio of Silicone rubber.

A: I agree with John Rennie's comment, and also encourage you to try, but suspect a more effective means of excitation would be wide band random noise. In terms of dynamics you are looking at real valued eigenvalues. The trick will be deriving an analytical model that incorporates your moduli in terms of eigenvalues. You can then calculate the values from your system ID. But generally elastomeric materials tend to be nonlinear over large deformations. So dynamic testing, by any means of excitation may just lead to nonsense. Good luck

In these last rows are the people the farmer knew. There is the man he sought to raise a gun. He would pull the double-barrel from its bag and raise and aim in one motion. Before the noise fled across the field the beast was down, folding from the front and eyes up at the darkening sky.
There is the man with the kindly eyes and grey hair he brushed back with open fingers. He sat in an open office and if he sensed trouble he looked down over his glasses. He didn't drink but he carted jars out in a crate to the men. Here, he said. Help yourself, and they unwound the white caps and flipped off the plastic caps and filled filthy glasses with warm beer and all you could smell was ink and beer in unequal measure.
Over there, beneath a stand-out headstone, is the quiet man who stood aside when the drinking began. That was not his way. He kept to himself and sometimes in his blue-collar work he wore a tie. It was a matter of dignity. His companion is hereabouts. He wore a tie also and the story goes that on the one day he did not, he had to sit in a courtroom in which one was demanded and was asked to leave. All those years, then that.
Now they are joined in a bond of knowing in the far north-east of a cemetery. How odd, now, to see their middle names. How odd: to know the foibles, the lives, the wives, the vices, the houses and the streets but not the name in the middle. They did not plan this place to lie. It is fate and the sexton's hand that farm neighbours are nearly side by side. Close enough, this side of the pines, to feel the nor-west.
What a beautifully observed portrait of a little community, John, truly excellent.
Thank you, as ever (sir).

Is Sonny Perdue's Nomination as Secretary of Agriculture a Good Choice for farm Animals and the Environment?

Because Donald Trump appears to select the members of his cabinet by determining who would best represent the opposite for which the position stands, SNL performed a skit starring Bryan Cranston in his notorious role as Walter White chosen as the Head of the DEA. In this case, who would be best at preventing the distribution of illegal narcotics in the U.S? An infamous drug-dealer is clearly the best choice. For Secretary of Education, it would be best to select someone who has had no prior experience in education or who does not possess a post-secondary degree in education. In dealing with Agriculture, what clearer choice than that of a man who grew up on a farm and later became a veterinarian? Did Trump get it right this time?
Mr. Perdue did indeed grow up on a farm. But his decision to become a veterinarian may not have been a result of his strong devotion to the care and protection of animals. As Governor of Georgia, he successfully pushed for the expansion of factory farms. Also, as governor, he openly opposed the Clean Air Act, which seeks to control air pollution. In addition to land and water pollution, factory farming is one of the major contributors to air pollution. Perdue would therefore have needed to eliminate one in order to retain the other.
Although he has no family relation to Jim Perdue of Perdue Farms, there still exists a solid bond between the two. According to a Press Release in 2005, "Governor Sonny Perdue announced . . . that Perdue Farms would significantly expand its Georgia operations by growing its existing facilities in Houston and Monroe counties, bringing 1,000 new jobs and a total investment of $155 million to the state." As governor he aimed at increasing employment and benefiting the community. Ultimately, by the end of this expansion, the company had added a total of 1,700 new jobs and contracted for more than 600 new poultry houses since taking over operation of the Perry plant.
Perdue has 14 food-processing facilities in the U.S. and produces about 50 million pounds of chicken and turkey products each week. The growth of Perdue Farms in Georgia can be attributed partly to the nominee for Secretary of Agriculture. His dedication to the systematic slaughter of chickens has created large amounts of revenue for the affluent as well as poor citizens of Georgia.
On a lighter note, the former governor was responsible for some positive changes that affected the lives of domesticated animals. According to Michael Markarian from the Humane Society Legislative Fund, in 2008, "he signed a law that was strongly backed by the HSUS and HSLF to make dogfighting a felony and close loopholes on owning fighting dogs and being a dogfighter spectator." In addition, as governor, Sonny Perdue dedicated his personal time to "raise awareness for the spaying and neutering of pets" while supporting the efforts of the Humane Society to reduce the overpopulation of dogs and cats in the state of Georgia. As a former veterinarian, he encouraged pet owners to take action by having their own pets spayed and/or neutered. And, "in 2010, Perdue also signed a bill banning the use of gas chambers to euthanize shelter pets."
Does Sonny Perdue's nomination contradict what the position itself should ideally represent or will the former governor surprise us by transferring his generosity toward domesticated animals to the millions of farm animals whom he will now oversee as Secretary of Agriculture? Only time will tell.
Please consider becoming a volunteer for the Humane Party to help bring about a more compassionate world.

Part I was just a little intro. For Part II, I will give you a little more insight into the TeamTBB training for an Ironman. Another video for your viewing pleasure!!
A week ago, I 'sent' Amy off to an English speaking country to go do a little race. Today she 'sends' me off to an English speaking country to do a little race.
I will have a short video blog posted up soon, but I leave today for Ironman UK in Bolton, England. It is my first break in training since early June, and it could not come at a better time.
I will let the others cover the details, provide links, photos, etc. of our photo shoot. But last week around training, we had a Team photo shoot with Cervelo, 3T, and Blue 70. So, we got to ride around on our bikes, maybe "strike a pose" or two, and maybe you will see some of us in ads for 2011. I have to say that my sunglasses were one of the "jokes" of the photo shoot. Amy and I do not have a sunglasses sponsor, but I was wearing a pair of free shades. They were "free on the side of the road" according to James, who loved to point that out. When we watched the Tour de Swiss, www.sport.sf.tv was covering some of the event and was handing out shades. So, those were the ones that I wore during the photo shoot!! So, if anyone out there from Oakley (or others for that matter) is reading, "sunnies" would be much appreciated!!
Cervelo and 3T both did technical presentations for us. They showed some of the new stuff that is going to come out for 2011. They talked in engineering terms that I hadn't really heard since college or at least not a whole lot since college. Words like Computational Fluid Dyanmics Modeling or Finite Element Analysis.
Anyhoo…the general gist of the presentations was that the Cervelo P4 is really a fast bike. They are also doing some work so that the maintenance on it will be a little faster as well. 3T spends a LOT of time working on their aerobars for safety, quality, and speed. Kind of made me feel at least a little better about riding carbon bars! I have to say that I have been very impressed with the quality of the 3T bars, especially since mine and Amy's have both hit the deck recently and are no worse for the wear. And, I do like my P4.
Blue Seventy is coming out with a new line of triathlon clothing. I have not used it in the water yet, but just wearing it around or riding/running in it is very comfortable. I am looking forward to the first race in it!
I will leave you with a shot of the 3T bars and my "free on the side of the road" sunnies!!

The Detroit Red Wings were unlucky for a third straight year in the NHL draft lottery, once again bumped back rather than into the top three.
Tuesday's lottery to determine the order of the first 15 picks in June's entry draft had the Wings bumped from fourth to sixth, as both Chicago and the New York Rangers won the right to pick in the top three. The New Jersey Devils will pick first overall for the second time in three years; the Rangers, second, and the Blackhawks, third. The draft is June 21-22 in Vancouver.
Forwards Jack Hughes, Kaapo Kakko and Vasily Podkolzin are projected to go in those three spots by the NHL's Central Scouting Bureau.
While Hughes is the star of the Plymouth-based NTDP this season, there are other players from the squad who intrigue. Left wing Matthew Boldy (6-2, 192) scored 30 goals among 69 points in 55 games. The Milford native is a strong skater with a terrific shot and a high hockey IQ. Alex Turcotte (5-11, 185) is a two-way center with high-end speed who had 30 assists among 53 points in 30 games. Trevor Zegras (6-0, 169) is another high-IQ playmaking center who had 52 assists among 78 points in 54 games.
