Q: How to create an N_sized Array with the size of N(x) and fill it with the numbers in a range from 0 to 100 randomly? Hello StackOverflowCommunity! My name is Piet.
While investigating the beloved Javascript I got a bit stuck:
I´m not sure why I get 98 empty items pushed into my Array.
On Index[0] and Index[99] I get IntegerValues as expected.
Thank you for your answers! :)
// create an Array with the size of N(x) and
// fill it with numbers in a range from 0 to 100 randomly.

createNSizedArray = (x) => {

    for(let i = 0; i < x; i++) {
        var arr = [];
        arr[i] = arr.push(Math.round(Math.random()*100));

    }
    return arr;
}

console.log(createNSizedArray(100));

// output -> [ 31, <98 empty items>, 1 ];

// Why are the other 98 items in the Array empty and how to change them into integer values?

Actually I inspected the Items[1-98] to find out their values and to check if they are really empty.
But:
console.log(arr[4]) for example return "undefined" to me. So they are not really empty.

A: You are getting a mostly undefined array because you are defining a new variable arr at each iteration. You should move the declaration of arr outside of the loop.
Here is a quick alternative: Array(100).fill().map(_=>Math.round(Math.random()*100))

A: Try moving the initialization of the array before the for loop. This makes sure that you don't make a new array every time the loop runs.

A: It is because you are creating a new array on each iteration.
Try this:
createNSizedArray = (x) => {
  var arr = [];
  for (let i = 0; i < x; i++) {
    arr[i] = arr.push(Math.round(Math.random() * 100));
  }
  return arr;
};

A: Possible solution:
const createNSizedArray = (x) => {
    // it had to be moved outside the for-loop to prevent from setting everything so far to an empty array
    let arr = [];
    for (let i = 0; i < x; i++) {
        // here you don't need both arr.push(...) and assignment
        arr[i] = Math.round(Math.random()*100);

    }
    return arr;
}

console.log(createNSizedArray(100));

What Array.prototype.push does:
let arr = [];
console.log(arr);

arr.push(1);
console.log(arr); // [1]

arr.push(2);
console.log(arr); // [1,2]

arr.push(3);
console.log(arr); // [1,2,3]

What you're trying to achieve, as @Vincent suggested, can easily be done with:
Array(100).fill().map(_ => Math.round(Math.random() * 100))

A: you could use the Array method.
    const createNSizeArray = (n) => {
          return Array.from({ length: n }, () => Math.round(Math.random()*100 );
        };

    console.log(createNSizeArray(5)) // [81, 92, 23, 54, 12]

Welcome! With Joe Tsai purchasing the New York Liberty and the team joining the Nets family, we'll be doing some coverage of them this season here at Nets Republic. Today, we kick that off with some pre-draft thoughts on what the Liberty should do: draft Asia Durr.
The WNBA Draft is fast approaching — it's April 10th at Nike's New York headquarters — and the Liberty hold the second pick. It seems like a foregone conclusion that Oregon junior Sabrina Ionescu is going to declare a year early and be the first overall pick by the Las Vegas Aces, and the Liberty better hope that's true, because the perfect player for this team is waiting for them at pick number two and the only thing that could ruin that would be Ionescu going back to school and the Aces grabbing that player instead.
Let's talk about why the New York Liberty need Louisville guard Asia Durr.
Last season, the Liberty finished 7-27. It was the first time in team history that the Liberty failed to reach 11 wins. The team had the league's second-lowest offensive rating, second-lowest three-point field goal percentage, and third-worst defensive rating. It was a mess.
That's not to say there weren't positive signs for the team, though. Tina Charles remains Tina Charles — she led the WNBA in field goal attempts and finished 10th in total rebounds while also finishing seventh in points per game.
Meanwhile, the team got solid contributions from rookie guard Kia Nurse, who averaged 9.1 points per game. She logged 27 possessions as a pick-and-roll ball handler last season, scoring 1.037 points per possession in those situations, good for the 93rd percentile. Nurse shot below 30 percent from three. She rated well defensively, especially when defending against spot ups, but she ranked in just the 32nd percentile when guarding the pick-and-roll ball handler.
There was Amanda Zahui B, who finished eighth in the league in two-point field goal percentage but also finished in just the ninth percentile in defensive points allowed per possession.
The team also just re-signed Brittany Boyd, another young guard, and Boyd's 37 percent mark from deep is an encouraging sign that she can provide the team with some of the shooting it needs, but she struggled in a lot of other areas offensively.
This Liberty team has needs both inside and outside heading into this year's WNBA Draft, but I want to see that outside need be addressed first. There's a handful of talented bigs who've been going in the second round in mock drafts lately, including Iowa's Megan Gustafson and China's Han Xu, who the team could grab with the 14th overall pick. They shouldn't miss out on picking a player as talented as Asia Durr.
Okay, but why Asia Durr?
What makes Asia Durr the player that the Liberty need? This is a team that has a lot of guards, even if those guards haven't been performing at the level that the team needs them to. This piece by Ben Dull is a good primer on the glut of options this has at guard, but having a lot of players who don't factor much into your rebuild shouldn't be a reason to not pick the second-best prospect available.
Let's dive into some of Durr's numbers from this season at Louisville.
One big thing Durr can bring is shooting. The WNBA is trending more and more in the direction of the NBA, which is to say that teams need to be able to hit from outside to be successful. Durr's shooting just over 35 percent from three this season, but she was 41 percent shooter from deep the year before and she possesses the right outside shooting skills to bring another layer to this Liberty team.
Durr scored in the 93rd percentile on spot up possessions this season, and the Liberty could use that kind of help after finishing eighth in PPP off spot ups last season. Durr's also a strong threat in transition, a situation where the Liberty finished last in 2018. While this is a team that needs to slow the ball down and get it to Tina Charles sometimes, it doesn't need to be that team every time, and this team could put out some three guard lineups that take advantage of Durr's ability to lead the fastbreak.
Maybe the best way to get an idea of what Durr is capable of is to take a look at some video of what is capable of doing.
Here's what the Liberty would most need from Durr: shooting. Durr has a chance to be one of the better catch-and-shoot players in the WNBA and we see here how dangerous she is when she gets these open looks.
Durr's shooting percentages are down this season, though, because teams have tried to limit those open looks. There have been cold spells for Durr over the course of the year as opposing teams have kept pressure on her. She'll need to figure out some of the tougher professional defenses she'll face if she wants to be as effective off the dribble as she is when spotting up.
Durr's so dangerous as an offensive weapon that the Michigan defense has four players on this break dedicated to stopping her. That allows Jazmine Jones to get behind the defense, but all the bodies surrounding Durr means it's not going to be easy to get the ball to Jones even if Jones herself is open. Durr winds up passing the ball as she's turning her back to the defense, a move that both looks cool and also catches the defense off guard.
I love that Durr's capable of passing the ball accurately at any moment. Here, she's moving beyond the arc, dribbling to the left, and then she sees Sam Fuehring has good position inside and, without hesitation, flings the pass into her.
Three from the top of the key. Great job by Louisville to get Durr the ball with space.
Durr is so good in transition because she's so fast in transition. Possesses this great ability to turn on the jets and get to the hoop.
MORE THREES. Maybe some of her struggles from deep this season are behind her???
Durr's also able to put the ball on the floor and pull-up in the midrange, which is a good skill to have.
ALSO A REALLY GOOD BLOCK HERE.
Here's something that could be a lot of fun: Kia Nurse comes up the floor, Tina Charles sets a high screen, and Durr sits out in the corner, ready to knock a shot down if Nurse needs to kick it to her. Or, Durr, who scored in the 83rd percentile herself as a pick-and-roll ball handler this past season, brings in up and runs that play, using her passing vision and shooting skill to make things happen for this team.. She brings so much versatility to this team, an ability to play both on or off the basketball. A Durr/Nurse backcourt sets you up extremely well moving forward, and you can worry about the big issue either in the second round or in next year's draft. Durr's the perfect player for this Liberty team to add on April 10th.

I was born in a Cantonese river town in South China. First, I began my undergraduate studies in 2008 in business administration at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shaw College). However, I gradually realised I was not cut out for it during my two-year internship in a local consultancy firm in Wan Chai. Fortunately, the General Education at CUHK allowed me to explore other exciting subjects outside of my major, ranging from archaeology to film studies. In a class on cultural heritage, I discovered the pleasure of socio-cultural anthropology and became passionate about doing ethnographic research. My graduate training started in Gender Studies (anthropology as the home discipline) at CUHK (M.Phil. 2016), then continued in the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Cambridge (PhD 2021). After having lived in the UK for five years, I am blessed to join the Centre of China Studies, returning to the academic community by which I have been nurtured.
Using long-term intensive fieldwork, my doctoral thesis investigates how digital technology transforms grassroots volunteering and local charities in contemporary China. It provides a historical and ethnographic account of a redress movement aiming to honour and support the Kuomintang veterans who fought in the War of Resistance against Japan (1937-45) but suffered in post-1949 China. This thesis is an extended project from my M.Phil. dissertation that examines the intersection between gender and nationalism in local volunteering for the KMT veterans in Hunan province. I am now working on my first monograph based on my M.Phil. dissertation alongside a co-authored book with my PhD supervisor Dr Adam Yuet Chau on the constitution of the modern Chinese polity. I have been invited to contribute as a reviewer by editors from New Media & Society and Memory Studies.

Exhibition exposes the private world of young British naturists
By Caroline King - July 3, 2013 Posted in : Art, Exhibition
When: 17th July – 24th September 2013
Where: White Cloth Gallery, Aireside House, Leeds LS1 4HT
£: Free
A ground breaking photography project by award-winning photographer, Laura Pannack, is to be laid bare at the White Cloth Gallery this July.
In a project that spanned over three years, Laura Pannack gained access to the world of young naturists in Britain today. The result of Pannack's look at this relatively unknown aspect of society is the unique exhibition, Young British Naturists.
Launching on Wednesday 17th July and running until the 24th September, the exhibition explores nakedness as a concept. In the UK, nudity of any kind is usually reserved for the private realm and often met with coyness or embarrassment. However, in Pannack's work the unclothed body is not the central focus; it becomes entirely irrelevant. In these pictures a minority becomes the majority, and nakedness becomes a mark of strength and resolve.
This exhibition launch follows on from its success at London's Gallery One and a Half and is curated by Rhiannon Adam. The photographs consist of a series of young people performing everyday tasks and leisure pursuits. Some of those photographed by Pannack are open about their naturist activities; for others it's an act that they keep from friends, family and colleagues. Some of the subjects have grown up with naturism, others have not. The single uniting factor is that those photographed feel more comfortable naked than they do clothed. Without clothes all materialistic signs of wealth, character type and status are dissolved, allowing for individual interpretation and a truthful view of the subjects. Pannack's honest images eschew placing judgement and celebrate the similarities between us all.
At just 28 years of age, Laura Pannack boasts a range awards to her name. Most recently, Pannack won The Royal Photographic Society's Vic Odden Award for a notable achievement in the art of photography by a British photographer aged 35 or under. Known for her focus on social documentary and portraiture, and driven by research led self-initiated projects, Pannack's work has wide appeal and has graced the pages of an array of renowned publications from The Telegraph Weekend to The Sunday Times, and Le Monde to The Guardian Weekend.
Co-Creative Director of White Cloth Gallery, Peter Dench said: "We're always looking to showcase something out of the ordinary that will inspire and as such we're delighted to be welcoming such an interesting and progressive exhibition to the gallery. Among her accomplishments, Laura has achieved two solo exhibitions in Cardiff's Third Floor Gallery and in London's One and a Half Gallery which received critical acclaim, and she continues to excel in her field. We are thrilled to be adding her to our repertoire of inspiring exhibitors."

Hundreds of oil and gas rig workers in Norway are to begin strike action today after talks on a proposed wage deal collapsed, according to a state appointed mediator.
It was announced that talks between trade union groups Safe and YS and the employer's lobby, the Shipowners' Association, had failed just after midnight last night.
It is thought that the strike action will have immediate consequences, with Shell's Knarr field to cease production.
A total of 670 workers will today down tools, but the number could reach more than 2,250 if an agreement is not reached.
Safe confirmed that 106 workers on the Teekay Petrojarl production ship operating at Shell's Knarr field would stop work. The field has daily production of around 63,000 barrels of oil per day.
Last month, Safe threatened summer strikes, describing the pay offer as "smaller than hoped" and said any changes to pension rights would be "unfair to many workers".
The labour union also claimed that 80% of those who took part in the ballot rejected the pay offer.
Norwegian drilling firms who could be potentially affected by strikes are Transocean, Odfjell Drilling, Rowan Companies, Maersk Drilling and Seadrill, while oil companies such as Equinor, Aker BP, and Lundin Petroleum could be indirectly affected.

232 F. 2d 83 - Jolley v. United States
232 F2d 83 Jolley v. United States
Albert Hugh JOLLEY, Appellant,
UNITED STATES of America, Appellee.
United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit.
April 6, 1956.
Henry N. Payton, Newnan, Ga., Stonewall Dyer, Atlanta, Ga., for appellant.
Charles D. Read, Jr., Asst. U.S. Atty., James W. Dorsey, U.S. Atty., John W. Stokes, Jr., Asst. U.S. Atty., Atlanta, Ga., for appellee.
Before RIVES, TUTTLE and CAMERON, Circuit Judges.
RIVES, Circuit Judge.
The appellant appeals alone from a judgment of conviction for conspiracy1 to violate two sections of the tax laws2 pertaining to the unlawful possession, removal and concealment of non-tax-paid whiskey. One co-defendant, Charlie Frank Hollis, was tried with appellant, and both were convicted. According to appellant's brief, a third co-defendant, Donald A. Jones, had previously entered a plea of nolo contendere. The indictment named as co-conspirators not indicted five other men, Norman Holmes, Willie Roy Roberts, Lemon Canion, J. R. Williams and Curtis W. West, and also 'a party and parties to the Grand Jurors unknown.' It alleged that the conspiracy began in August, 1951, and continued from day to day to the return of the indictment on February 17, 1954.
To effect the objects and purposes of the conspiracy, the indictment alleged that the defendants and co-conspirators committed numerous overt acts among which thirteen were specified. The district court charged the jury that there was no substantial evidence to prove alleged overt acts numbered 5, 8 and 10. We will briefly summarize the evidence which the jury was authorized to believe tending to prove the remaining ten alleged overt acts.
Overt Act No. 1: 'That, on or about August 8, 1951, in Fulton County, Georgia, Albert Hugh Jolley and Willie Roy Roberts possessed 156 gallons of non-tax-paid whiskey, and transferred said whiskey from a 1941 Stakebody Truck to a 1935 Ford Coupe.'
At the beginning of the trial, appellant's counsel admitted that appellant and Willie Roy Roberts did, in August, 1951, possess 150 gallons of non-tax-paid whiskey, but denied that such possession was connected with any alleged conspiracy. The Government introduced testimony of James L. Collins, who told of having gone to appellant's home in August, 1951, along with two other officers and there finding in appellant's yard and on a truck parked there about 150 gallons of non-tax-paid whiskey, and arresting appellant and Roberts therefor. Both of them had pleaded guilty to the offense against the State of Georgia arising from the same acts.
Overt Act No. 2: 'That, on December 29, 1951, in Fulton County, Georgia, Albert Hugh Jolley purchased a 1942 Ford automobile, motor No. 18-6847486, from Albert E. Moon.'
Overt Act No. 3: 'That, on January 8, 1952, in Fulton County, Georgia, Charlie Frank Hollis transported in a 1942 Ford automobile, described in the paragraph just preceding, 108 gallons of non-tax-paid whiskey.'
Overt Act No. 4: 'That, on January 8, 1952, Albert Hugh Jolley drove another automobile owned by him immediately in front of the said 1942 Ford automobile referred to in the two preceding paragraphs, at the time the said Ford was seized while transporting 108 gallons of non-tax-paid liquor.'
Albert E. Moon testified that in 1951 he bought a 1942 Ford automobile from a Mr. Bearden, who was living in Marietta, Georgia; that he owed a finance company which the designated as 'North American Loan Company' some money on the automobile; that he advertised in an Atlanta newspaper for the sale of the car and received one answer, that being from the appellant to whom he sold the car; that the appellant and he went to the finance company to have the car refinanced in the appellant's name. He further testified:
'* * * and we filled out the papers, his information and credit reference and all, and after he done that, he decided, he didn't want to pay the interest on the loan and we went back over to my house, and he said, he still wanted the car, and said he would just pay me cash for it then.'
Still further, Mr. Moon testified that the tax registration on the car has been left in the name of Mr. Bearden, the man from whom he had purchased the car.
A. A. Berry testified that he was Assistant Manager of 'American Loan and Thrift Corporation',3 and in such capacity had custody of the records of that company; that an information sheet which he produced, and which was introduced in evidence as the Government's Exhibit No. 1, was an official record kept in the regular course of business4 and showed that on December 29, 1951, some employee of the company took an application for a loan on a 1942 two-door Ford automobile from Albert H. and Bertie Jolley.
Miss Inez Kinney testified that she was file clerk in the Motor Vehicle License Unit of the Revenue Department of Georgia and had custody of the files of automobile vehicle registrations in that State. She produced the 1951 license tag registration for a 1942 two-door Ford, being tag number ES-5700, registered in the name of Vester C. Bearden of Marietta, Georgia.
George Bradley testified that he was a State Trooper; that on or about January 8, 1952, between 7:30 and 8 o'clock in the morning, he had passed on the highway two automobiles being driven 200 or 300 feet apart and had recognized the appellant as the driver of the lead automobile; that, after passing the cars, he pulled into a service station and waited until both cars had passed, travelling at about the same distance apart; that he then fell in behind the second automobile, waited until it got to a shoulder wide enough to pull of without interfering with traffic, sounded his siren and pulled the automobile off on the shoulder; that two men jumped out of the car, ran and escaped; that the car contained 120 to 125 gallons of non-tax-paid whiskey; that it was a 1942 Ford automobile, bearing a 1951 Georgia tag, ES-5700.
Overt Act No. 6: 'That, on or about August 26, 1952, Albert Hugh Jolley possessed 21 gallons of non-tax-paid whiskey near his house in Fulton County, Georgia.'
Officer W. Earl Thompson testified that on August 26, 1952, he and Officer Adams were patrolling the Old National Highway about two miles from the appellant's residence, when they stopped D. A. Jones and Charlie Frank Hollis in an automobile which they found to contain 10 one-half gallons of non-tax-paid whiskey; that, after arresting Jones and Hollis, they made further investigations at the appellant's premises; that about 100 feet behind appellant's barn they found 2 one-half gallons of non-tax-paid whiskey and further on from there in the same area they found 20 one-half gallons of non-tax-paid whiskey; that appellant's house was the closest one to the 2 one-half gallons, but there were other houses closer to the 20 one-half gallons; that there was no path leading to the 20 half gallons and the area was just open pasture; that he does not know who owned the land on which the whiskey was found.
Overt Act No. 7: 'That, on or about August 29, 1952, Charlie Frank Hollis, J. R. Williams and Albert Hugh Jolley went to the home of Lemon Canion in Fulton County, Georgia, carrying a large quantity of non-tax-paid whiskey, and 'stashed' the same near the house of the said Canion.'
On or about August 29, 1952, officers found near the home of Lemon Canion, not in Fulton County but just over the line in Clayton County, Georgia, 4 one-half gallons of whiskey, several empty cases of half gallon jars, and in a graveyard back of his house 35 or 40 gallons of whiskey, all non-tax-paid. This house is distant from appellant's house seven-tenths of a mile by walking and a mile and four-tenths by road. Lemon Canion testified so vaguely that the Government plead entrapment by the witness. According to his testimony, the liquor belonged to someone other than himself but he did not know to whom, and was unable to identify the person or persons who had left the whiskey on his premises.
Overt Act No. 9: 'That, on September 6, 1952, Albert Hugh Jolley in Fulton County, Georgia, employed Curtis W. West to make a trip to North Georgia in an automobile and bring back a load of non-tax-paid liquor, and he arranged for Charlie Frank Hollis to accompany said West and paid the expenses of such trip; and the said load of liquor was brought back to a place near College Park, Georgia, and unloaded; and the said Albert Hugh Jolley thereupon directed the said West and the said Hollis to deliver three cases of the said non-tax-paid liquor to a customer in East Point, Georgia, where the said Hollis and the said West were arrested about three o'clock in the morning.'
Officer Ellis Whitfield testified that on or about September 7, 1952, at about 2:30 A.M., he and another officer stopped a car on Holcombe Street in East Point, Georgia, and found that it contained 38 1/2 gallons of fruit jars of non-tax-paid whiskey. In the car were Curtis West, who was driving, and Charlie Frank Hollis. West stated that the whiskey was his and that Hollis had nothing to do with it. They arrested West but not Hollis.
Curtis West testified that his previous statement that Hollis had nothing to do with the whiskey was false; that, in fact, he was hauling the whiskey for the appellant, who had promised to pay him $50.00 for the trip and had sent Charlie Frank Hollis along to show him the way; that Hollis paid for the gas and the whiskey; that, after they had unloaded the whiskey, the appellant directed them to return and take three cases to East Point, and on that trip they were arrested; that the appellant had agreed that, if he were caught, appellant would pay his fine and get his car back, but for the witness 'to take the rap'; that appellant later told him that he did not have the money to pay his fine, in fact, did not pay him the $50.00, but had bought tires for the car costing $32.00 and did give him two or three dollars in cash.5
Overt Act No. 11: 'That, on or about July 13, in Fulton County, Georgia, Albert Hugh Jolley furnished to Willie Roy Roberts a 1942 Ford Coupe for the purpose of transporting non-tax-paid whiskey, and the said Willie Roy Roberts transported in said automobile 102 1/2 gallons of non-tax-paid whiskey on that date.'
Jack Berry testified that on the night of July 13, 1953, he and other officers stopped an automobile on Gordon Road in Fulton County, Georgia, and arrested Willie Roy Roberts. The car which Roberts was driving was a 1942 Ford and contained 102 1/2 gallons of non-tax-paid whiskey.
Willie Roy Roberts testified that he worked for the appellant as a mechanic from about the middle of June, 1953, for about two months; that the appellant paid him $40.00 a week; that he remembered being arrested on July 13, 1953; that at the time of the arrest he had 102 1/2 gallons of whiskey and that the whiskey and the automobile belonged to him. The Government pleaded entrapment by this witness; the witness admitted having made previous conflicting statements, and claimed that parts of such statements were untrue.6
Overt Act No. 12: 'That, on August 4, 1953, Willie Roy Roberts transported 30 gallons of non-tax-paid whiskey in Cobb County, Georgia, in a 1936 Ford automobile furnished to him by Albert Hugh Jolley.'
Willie Roy Roberts was arrested on August 4, 1953, in an automobile with 30 gallons of non-tax-paid whiskey. The arrest was made in Cobb County 'on a little woods road', 'it was a one-way affair for the most part, and just ruts to follow is about all you had in the way of a road'. In front of Willie Roy Roberts' automobile was another car, which got away. As the officers came back into the Queens Mill Road from which the little woods road took off, they saw parked at a distance of probably 20 or 30 yards an automobile in which the appellant and other persons were sitting; the time was about 9 or 9:30 at night.
Again, Willie Roy Roberts claimed that the whiskey for which he was arrested on August 4, 1953 was his own whiskey and declined to connect the appellant with it.
Overt Act No. 13: 'That, on or about August 3, 1953, in Cobb County, Georgia, at the store of Mrs. Mamie Flynn, Albert Hugh Jolley made an arrangement to deliver non-tax-paid whiskey to a person whom Jolley called 'Joe'.'
Mrs. Mamie Flynn testified that she operated a grocery store just off the Gordon Road from the River Road in Cobb County, Georgia; that in her store, on August 13, 1953, she heard the appellant talking to a man named Joe, making a deal about some whiskey; that the appellant agreed to bring the whiskey the next day but she did not hear either of them say how much whiskey was involved; that the next day appellant came to her store and 'he asked me * * * where was Joe, and I told him I didn't know, and he says, I want my money for my whiskey, and I said, I know nothing about any money for whiskey, and he said, you ought to, because you overheard what was said.'
At the close of the evidence, the appellant moved for a judgment of acquittal upon the ground that there was a fatal variance between the indictment charging one continuous conspiracy and the proof showing, according to appellant's view, two or more conspiracies, and, further, on the ground of the insufficiency of the evidence.
It was, of course, not necessary that each of the alleged conspirators be connected by the proof with the crime, so long as the appellant himself was proved beyond a reasonable doubt to be guilty of the conspiracy.7 Nor was it necessary that the evidence establish the appellant's guilt of each and all of the overt acts charged, but only of the commission of any one or more thereof to effect the objects and purposes of the conspiracy.8 While the evidence against the appellant as to some of the overt acts was weak, overt act No. 1 was admitted and there was certainly ample evidence to justify submission to the jury on overt acts numbered 2, 3, 4, 9 and 13.
Under the evidence in this case, we think that it was for the jury to say whether there was any conspiracy and if so, whether one or more than one. If more than one conspiracy was proved, of at least one of which the appellant was guilty, it is clear that there was no variance affecting his substantial rights.9
The appellant urges that the district court erred in refusing to admit evidence that he had been acquitted in the State Courts when charged with the same acts described in alleged overt acts numbers 6 and 9. The double jeopardy provision of the Fifth Amendment does not stand as a bar to federal prosecution though a conviction or acquittal in the state courts based on the same acts has already been obtained.10 Each sovereignty may proceed with prosecution uninfluenced by the action of the other. The result of the trial in the State Courts has no bearing on the trial in the federal courts.11 A fortiori is that true here in the absence of an offer to prove that the evidence introduced on the two trials was the same.
We find no reversible error in the record and the judgment is therefore
CAMERON, Circuit Judge (concurring specially).
The thread of conspiracy upon which this conviction depends is thin indeed. After reading the briefs and hearing the oral argument I was in great doubt whether appellant's conviction should stand. But reading the record revealed that five of the persons with whom appellant was alleged to have conspired were Negroes, one of whom had been employed by him as a farm laborer and automobile mechanic; another was a close confederate in liquor deals, whose fines appellant had paid on one or more occasions.
The relationship thus depicted, known to the Court below, and to us, and the understanding of its implications furnish an ingredient of proof which fills the interstices so evident without them, and explain much in the record which otherwise is without probative significance. Supplementing the facts otherwise appearing by this knowledge and understanding, it is rather plain that appellant furnished the brains and the money and the leadership in the conspiracy and the others were pliant pawns responding to his will and desire. This added element makes it possible for me to concur in affirming the judgment of conviction.
1 18 U.S.C.A. § 371.
2 26 U.S.C.A. §§ 3321 and 2803.
3 Appellant emphasizes the difference in name of this finance company and the 'North American Loan Company' referred to by the witness Moon, and appellee replies that Moon had doubtless had a lapse of memory on this detail, brought about by the several years intervening between the transaction and the trial. We think there were sufficient circumstances from which the jury could infer that the witnesses were testifying about the same finance company.
4 The information sheet of the finance company having been made in the regular course of its business was admissible in evidence. 28 U.S.C.A. § 1732; Duncan v. United States, 5 Cir., 197 F.2d 935, 937.
5 Appellant's only complaint as to the proof of overt act No. 9 is that Curtis West 'was impeached by another Government witness.' Of course, however, the jury alone was authorized to pass on the credibility of the witnesses.
6 The appellant urges that the district court erred in denying appellant's motion for a mistrial because of the publication in a local newspaper of the action of the prosecuting attorney in having Willie Roy Roberts arrested upon a charge of perjury. The newspaper publication is not before us, nor is it shown that any of the jurors read or were influenced by it. We think that the district court did not abuse its discretion in refusing to declare a mistrial. See United States v. Potash, 2 Cir., 118 F.2d 54, 56. Further, appellant has shown no prejudice from the publication. See Reynolds v. United States, 5 Cir., 225 F.2d 123, 128, 129.

This work was a collaboration with Hi Tec Plastics in Aurora, Colorado, who arranged for recycled HDPE to be poured into Rosburg's high-temperature wing molds. Hi Tec also donated 3.2 tons of recycled HDPE pellets (aka "nurdles"). Using her signature 3D layered painting technique, Rosburg created an intricate and haunting world of jellyfish, algae, and grasses that seem to evolve from the post-apocalyptic petroleum relic that is Omega. Visitors were not allowed to take their cell phones into the space, and were instructed to remove thier shoes and socks.
This work was Rosburg's contribution to "Axis Mundi: Artists Respond to EcoPsychology -- Environmental Melancholia, Collective Social Mania, and Biophilia" in Denver, Colorado. Rosburg curated this sprawling exhibition which took place at three different locations, and included 20 artists from USA and Canada. Rosburg also presented a screening of "Albatross" by Chris Jordan (presented at the Sie Denver Film Center, Q&A with the filmmaker after the film).
Axis Mundi and Omega received rave reviews by the community and opened a dialog about the implications of our psychological relationship to climate change. Axis Mundi was a part of the 2017 Denver Biennial of the Americas.

Trump threatens to close southern border if not given wall funding

https://str.sg/o6ZE
WASHINGTON (AFP) - President Donald Trump threatened on Friday (Dec 28) to seal the US-Mexico border "entirely" if Congress does not approve billions of dollars in funding for a wall.
In a burst of early morning tweets, the president said the alternative to funding his controversial wall project would be total separation from Mexico - including making US car companies pull out their factories based on the other side of the frontier.
The threat yet again upped the ante in a political row that has led to a partial shutdown of the US government and seems set to dominate the start to the third year of Trump's presidency.
"We will be forced to close the Southern Border entirely if the Obstructionist Democrats do not give us the money to finish the Wall," Trump tweeted.
Trump said he would then take US-Mexican relations back to the days before the Nafta agreement opened free trade across Canada, Mexico and the United States.
That would "bring our car industry back into the United States where it belongs," he said.
It was not clear how separating the two huge neighbors would work. Bilateral trade totaled an estimated US$615.9 billion (S$840 billion) in 2017, according to US government figures.
Neither did Trump make any mention of the new free trade agreement, known as the USMCA, which he only recently signed with the two neighboring countries to replace Nafta and which he has repeatedly praised as a huge boost for American commerce.
In Mexico, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador sidestepped Trump's threat, telling journalists: "We don't want to be imprudent and we don't think we should get into this."
US$5 billion question
Trump wants US$5 billion in funding for a wall along the more than 3,000km border, which he says is currently too porous to stop illegal immigration and which he says has become a magnet for criminals, drugs and even terrorists.
Opponents - especially in the Democratic party but also some in Trump's Republican party - say that a physical wall is impractical and that the idea is being used as a political tool to whip up xenophobia in Trump's right-wing voter base.
Both sides have dug in. Democrats refuse to approve funding and the president - who has made hardline immigration polices a centerpiece of his presidency - has retaliated by refusing to sign off on a wider spending Bill, leaving some 800,000 federal employees without pay.

The president, who had already scrapped a Christmas visit to his Florida golf resort has also "cancelled his plans for New Year's", his incoming chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, said on Fox News.
Asked about the startling rhetoric, Mulvaney told Fox that Trump "is trying to draw light to the fact this is a crazy discussion to be having."
Caravan 'invasion'
Experts are divided on solutions to policing the long, often inhospitable border separating the world's biggest economy from the far poorer countries to its south.
Although there is a huge cross-border drug trade and immigrants often enter illegally, others have genuine claims for asylum. Central Americans are also deeply integrated in the US economy, often performing physically demanding, low-pay jobs in construction, agriculture and other vital sectors.
Trump has consistently painted the asylum seekers and economic migrants in outlandish terms, raising the spectre of rapists, gang members and people with infectious diseases roaming freely across the border.
Trump has latched particularly on to what have become known as the "caravans" - groups of several hundred or even more migrants who walk on epic treks across Central America and Mexico to try and reach the United States.
According to Trump the "caravans" amount to organised attempts at invading the United States.
In one tweet on Friday, Trump warned: "word is that a new Caravan is forming in Honduras and they are doing nothing about it."
As a result, he said, "we will be cutting off all aid" to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.
The impoverished, often dangerous countries have long received American assistance to boost democracy, human rights, education and security.
But according to State Department figures, the aid is already dropping steeply.
Honduras is currently set to receive US$65.7 million in 2019, down from US$105.6 million in 2017, while Guatemala is slated for US$69.4 million, down from US$145 million.
El Salvador received US$88 million in 2017 and is set for US$45.7 million next year.


Women in the South West of England are paid considerably less than their male colleagues, a study has revealed.
New research has showed that women at management level in the region are earning £10,265 less than their male colleagues, with a gender pay gap of 26.3 per cent.
The study was conducted by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) and XpertHR, the Bristol Post reports.
The average salary of a female manager in the South West is £28,712, but it's £38,977 for men. This includes salary and bonuses as well as additional extras such as car allowance and commission.
However, the South West's gender pay gap is slightly lower than the UK as a whole, with the average male manager across the UK earning 26.8 per cent more than female colleagues - a pay gap of £12,707.
As of September 21, just 77 of the 7,850 UK companies to which the new law applies have fulfilled their obligations.
"We now see those extra perks of senior management roles are creating a gender pay gap wider than previously understood. The picture is worst at the top, with male CEOs cashing-in bonuses six times larger than female counterparts."

Operation Stonewall was a World War II operation to intercept blockade runners off the west coast of German-occupied France. It was an effective example of inter-service and international co-operation.

Background
From the start of the war, the Allies had maintained a blockade against the import of seaborne goods to Germany. Although rich in many basic industrial materials, Germany, like Britain, could not indigenously produce some essentials. These included rubber, tin, and tungsten.

Until Germany invaded the Soviet Union it evaded the blockade via the Trans-Siberian Railway. Large quantities of materials were shipped by this route. After this was closed, German and Italian ships, stranded in Japan and Japanese-occupied Singapore, were used as blockade runners to bring in these essential goods to ports in occupied France

Although organised interdiction against these blockade runners was not set up until December 1943, the Allies intercepted and sank several ships in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Few ships managed successful runs. A lot did not.

The operation

The Royal New Zealand Navy light cruiser HMNZS Gambia joined the operation in December 1943, operating from Horta in the Azores. The Royal Navy light cruiser  patrolled an area north of the islands.

On 23 December aircraft from the United States Navy escort carrier  sighted a suspected runner, and there were further reports of a flotilla of destroyers escorting another merchantman west from France. Gambia,  Glasgow, and the light cruiser  formed a cordon to intercept. Aircraft attacked the flotilla, now escorting a large incoming merchantman, the  , and reported a hit and a near-miss on her.

The light cruiser , minelayer  and four Free French destroyers joined the patrol to intercept another runner. RAF Coastal Command aircraft acted in close cooperation.

On 27 December at 1535 hrs Liberator GR Mk V heavy bomber of Coastal Command's Czechoslovak-crewed No. 311 Squadron RAF sighted a smaller blockade runner, the  refrigerated cargo ship . The Liberator made a diving attack with eight wing-mounted SAP60 semi-armour piercing rocket projectiles, five of which hit the cargo ship above her waterline. The Liberator also dropped one  bomb, and one 250 lb (115 kg) bomb one of which hit the ship aft of her funnel. The ship immediately caught fire.

Alsterufer defended herself with anti-aircraft fire and rockets that released parachute cables. The Liberator's starboard outer engine was hit, but the aircraft successfully returned to base at RAF Beaulieu in England. Later that day two more RAF Liberators and four RAF Halifax heavy bombers attacked the ship, but claimed no hits. Alsterufer sank on the afternoon of 28 December. 74 members of her crew were rescued by four Canadian corvettes.

Kriegsmarine destroyers and torpedo boats had set out to meet and escort Alsterufer in an operation codenamed Bernau. Now Glasgow and Enterprise sought to intercept them. Guided by shadowing aircraft, the cruisers intercepted eight destroyers early in the afternoon of 28 December and exchanged fire with them. Despite accurate German gunfire and torpedoes, effective German evading action and an attack with guided bombs by a Luftwaffe aircraft, the Royal Navy ships maintained contact.

Battle of the Bay of Biscay

The German ships divided into two groups and the cruisers pursued one of these. By 1600 hrs the s T25 and T26 and the  Z27 had been sunk and one had escaped, damaged. About 62 survivors were rescued by Royal Navy minesweepers, 168 by a  Irish coaster, , and four by Spanish destroyers. The blockade runner Osorno reached the Gironde but struck a wreck in the estuary. She was beached and subsequently unloaded offshore.

Glasgow, Enterprise and Ariadne returned to Plymouth and Penelope to Gibraltar. More blockade runners from the Far East were expected, so the Gambia and the light cruiser  patrolled north of the Azores for the next three days. Gambia then returned to Plymouth on 1 January 1944.

Three more German ships were sunk between 3 and 5 January by US Navy patrols in the South Atlantic. These were the last German blockade runners.

By Autumn, German armies were retreating out of France and the French ports were no longer open to Axis ships.

Ships: Canadian, French, New Zealand, United Kingdom, United States
