The Oregon Court of Appeals overturned the aggravated murder conviction of a death row inmate accused of stabbing another inmate at the Oregon State Penitentiary.
David Lee Cox, 54, received ineffective counsel after his defense attorneys failed to investigate a witness who testified that Cox had killed Mark Dean Davis, 31, in a murder-for-hire plot, according to an appeals opinion released Wednesday.
Cox was convicted of stabbing Davis once in the back on Sept. 13, 1998, as the inmates were filing in from the recreation yard. Davis died 90 minutes later at Salem Hospital.
Name: David Lee Cox Age: 54 County: Marion Crime: In September 1998, Cox stabbed to death another inmate, Mark Davis, during a dispute over drugs at the Oregon State Penitentiary. At the time, Cox was serving a life sentence for robbery and attempted murder. Prison admission date: June 9, 1994 (Photo: .)
Cox, originally from the Portland area, was already serving a lengthy sentence for attempted murder, robbery, kidnapping, burglary and vehicle theft. He claimed Davis was a violent, unpredictable drug user and had threatened him with a homemade stabbing device in the months leading up to the murder.
Cox admitted to stabbing Davis, but insisted he meant to send a message, not kill him.
Prosecutors argued Cox meant to kill. Instead of attacking Davis in a less vulnerable area, he plunged a sharpened rod up through Davis' ribs toward the heart.
A Marion County jury rejected Cox's manslaughter claim. After deliberating for 18 hours, they found him guilty of aggravated murder. The jury later decided Cox should be sentenced to death.

The Oregon Court of Appeals ruled his murder conviction should be reversed and remanded back to Marion County because his defense counsel — Noel Grefenson and Tom Bostwick of Salem — did not properly investigate and refute the prosecution's theory.
"I am very relieved that Mr. Cox's conviction has been overturned," Grefenson said. "In 30 years of practice as a trial lawyer, his was the most grueling trial that I can recall."
He described Cox as a gracious and thankful client.
"His conviction was absolutely devastating to me, particularly since I was convinced he was convicted based on a fabricated theory of murder for hire," Grefenson said.
A prosecution witness claimed Cox was paid $5,500 in drugs by the Lakota Club, a group for Native American inmates for socializing and participating in religious ceremonies.
According to witness testimony, club members wanted to kill Davis for "burning" them on illicit tobacco and heroin transactions. But the one witness who testified to this was later found to have lied repeatedly, according to court records.
The witness described himself as "War Chief" in the club with high status and knowledge of the club's dealings. He testified that he witnessed club members sharpening a shank on the concrete floor of the clubhouse and instructing Cox to stab Davis in the liver and below the ribs.
The witness later testified at Cox's post-conviction trial that he had entirely made up the "murder-for-hire" plot. He said he never saw weapons being made in the club and was never their "War Chief." The Lakota Club would have never made weapons because doing so would jeopardize the club and their members, he said.

He also said the club would never hire a white inmate to resolve a dispute.
Cox argued that, during his original trial, his defense attorneys failed to investigate the witness's conspiracy and call witnesses who could've easily refuted the man's claims.
Grefenson said the witness' story materialized in the last stages of prosecution.
"Although we attacked him with what we had, as the court found, we should have done more," Grefenson said.
The post-conviction court conceded the witness' testimony was seriously flawed, but rejected all of Cox's claims for relief.
"The post-conviction court concluded that, in any event, even if the murder-for-hire theory were or had been discredited, it was unlikely that the jury would not have convicted petitioner of aggravated murder," the appeals justices wrote in their ruling.
The appeals court found the defense counsels' decision not to investigate the witness' assertions "was not a reasonable exercise of professional skill and judgment."
Oregon Department of Justice officials said they are still reviewing the court's opinion and have not made a decision on whether they'll be appealing.
Marion County District Attorney officials did not immediately respond to request for comment.
"Death penalty trials are incredibly difficult and complex and, in my experience, increase the probability of serious error," Grefenson said. "We put an enormous amount of time and effort into this case and yet we still came up short."
"Mr. Cox did not receive a fair trial and no person should stand convicted of any crime, let alone aggravated murder, without one."

Dr Andy Taylor
BSc PhD
University Teacher in Air Transport Management
a.taylor2@lboro.ac.uk
Transport Studies Group
My main area of expertise is in aviation safety, which breaks down into many different subjects. Those of interest to me centre around pilot training and pilot wellbeing. I have spoken at a number of international conferences on these subjects in recent years for organisations such as the Chartered Institute for Ergonomics and Human Factors, The Royal Aeronautical Sociaety, and the European Airline Training Symposium. Associated areas of interest include cabin safety, airline performance and airport operations.
Current research activity
Pilot Training: costs, content and possible solutions
Pilot mental health: protecting vulnerable pilots
I contribute to learning and teaching activities in aviation, such as Introduction to Air Transport, Airport Planning, Airline Marketing and Airline Operations. Furthermore I supervise final year students on their Dissertations. These activities are contained in the School's undergraduate aviation programme:
Air Transport Management
I have had a passion for aviation since I was a young child, which developed from the awe inspiring spectacle of Concorde flying over my Nan's house in London. My career in aviation took off in January 1995 when I joined Airtours International as Cabin Crew based at East Midlands Airport. After five fantastic years (during which I also learned to fly), I decided to become more grounded and joined Air France at Heathrow Airport, as the Passenger Services Manager in Terminal 2.
Four years later, I realised I hardly had any qualifications (some average GCSEs and three bad A-Levels) so decided to enrol on a degree course. In September 2004, I joined the University of Leeds on their Aviation Technology with Pilot Studies course, from where in 2007, I graduated with a First Class (Hons) degree. Following a brief, two-year side-step into retail management, I was offered the opportunity to return to Leeds to do a PhD.
In April 2013, during the write up of my PhD, I joined Bucks New University in my first teaching job, where I became Course Leader for the Air Transport with Commercial Pilot Training programme. A year later in 2014, I again graduated from Leeds with my PhD in aviation accidents.
A change of scene in 2016 took me to the University of South Wales to be Course Manager for their new degrees in Professional Aviation Pilot Practice, and Professional Aviation Engineering Practice. Unfortunately, redundancy came along less than a year later, but this allowed me to undertake some consultancy in developing aviation degrees.
Some three months later, I took on a part-time teaching job with the University of Bedfordshire, which ultimately led to me becoming the full-time Course Coordinator for their Aviation and Airport Management course.
When an opportunity to join Loughborough University presented itself, I didn't hesitate to apply and am now very proud to be a University Teacher in Air Transport Management here – University of the Year 2019! I look forward to teaching young, bright, like-minded aviation enthusiasts in the coming years.

Picture Cook is cookbook with a twist – it shows you how to cook using only images. Katie Shelly is a designer/illustrator who wanted to show everyone that cooking doesn't have to be difficult, especially if you use pictures to explain it.
Apart from entire recipes laid out in picture form, there are specific technique that don't lend themselves well to being described with words. When done with images however, they suddenly seem a lot more simple than before.
For anyone who thought cooking was beyond their reach, Picture Cook could be the first cookbook of many that makes cooking a straightforward and enjoyable pastime, instead of a gauntlet of information and complicated explanations.

African Swine Fever detected in Czech Republic
28th Jun 2017 / By Alistair Driver
African Swine Fever (ASF) has been detected in the Czech Republic for the first time, confirming further spread of the virus in Eastern Europe.
The virus was confirmed in two wild boar by the country's National Veterinary Research Institute (Reference Laboratory) on Tuesday (June 27), after samples were collected from wild boar found dead last week.
The infected animals were found in Zlin, 300 km (186 miles) south-east of the capital Prague, State Veterinary Administration (SVS) spokesman Petr Vorlicek said, according to Reuters. A 10-km sanitary perimeter has been established including a farm with around 5,000 pigs that are being inspected. If the infection is detected, all the animals will be culled.
The Czech Republic becomes the latest country to be affected after the disease had been detected in recent years in Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and, for the first time in October, Moldova.
Data from the OIE, the international animal health body, shows five cases have also been confirmed in Poland alone over the past 11 days, plus cases in Russia and Lithuania.
Spreading west
Earlier this year, in his column for Pig World, Russian journalist Vladislav Vorotnikov highlighted the scale of the ASF problem in the region and warned it is spreading west.
He said ASF-related losses in Ukraine amounted to an estimated £30.4m in 2016, including a big chunk attributed to lost exports.
"Moldova reported its first ASF outbreak on October 6 (2016) and Russian veterinary watchdog Rosselkhoznadzor has suggested ASF is moving west with an average speed of 100 – 150 km per year," he wrote.
"So, this year, the virus may get close to Romania, central regions of Poland and we might even see it identified in Germany."
Defra maintains that the risk of ASF introduction to the UK remains very low, that is 'rare but could occur'.
NPA reaction
NPA chief executive Zoe Davies said: "This is another concerning development in the spread of ASF in eastern Europe.
"Defra still maintains that the risk is low but we will continue to press to ensure our surveillance and defences against ASF are as robust as they can be. It is also vital that Defra fully understands the devastating impact any incursion of ASF into UK wild boar or domestic pigs will have, not just for animal health and welfare but also the crippling effect on our economy of losing our vital export trade.
"Wild boar, which have played a major part in spreading the disease in eastern Europe and this highlights once again the need to ensure we have robust control measures in place to prevent our wild boar populations spreading out of control."

On Sunday's "This Week with George Stephanopolous," Gov. Mike Pence (R-IN) defended his state's so-called Religious Freedom Law and vowed not to back down by changing the law.
Pence argued it was a law that defended religious liberty from the government and not a law that is a license for discrimination as critics have said.
"The question here is if there is a government action or a law that an individual believes impinges on their religious liberty, they have the opportunity to go to court, just as the Religious Freedom and Reformation Act that Bill Clinton signed allowed them, to go to court and the court would evaluate the circumstance under the standards articulated in this act," he added.

Although Canon is very prolific in their patent applications, they seem to take a long time in turning promising patents into new products and offering them for sale. Case in point is the EF 200-400mm f/4L IS Super Telephoto lens and the EOS-7D camera. The former has been in the development phase for over two years and the latter is over three years old so the Mk II is long overdue.
LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., February 14, 2013 – Canon reaches a new record with more than 3,000 patents issued. Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, has announced that for the 27th consecutive year its parent company, Canon Inc., has ranked among the top five United States patent holders. Topping the 2011 figure of 2,813 patents, Canon reached a new high for 2012, obtaining 3,174 patents. In addition, Canon Inc. ranked first among Japanese companies and third overall in the United States for patents granted according to the latest ranking of preliminary patent results issued by IFI CLAIMS Patent Services.
Maintaining a dedication to research and development has enabled Canon to remain a leader in patents held, year after year. These patents have allowed the Company to expand into new product categories while continually improving on core technologies.
"The patents registered today will help lead to the innovations of tomorrow," said Seymour Liebman, executive vice president, chief administrative officer and general counsel, Canon U.S.A. "Making research and development a top priority has enabled us to continually provide customers around the globe with advanced products spanning various technology segments."
Canon puts great emphasis on providing advanced technology that is ever-changing. Through close cooperation between Canon's technology and intellectual property divisions, the Company aims to improve its technological capabilities while further enhancing its intellectual property rights.

Q: Not able to show errors with Ember 2 In an application built with Ember 2.1.0, I followed this guide to implement server side validation.
I have this route :
import Ember from 'ember';

export default Ember.Route.extend({
  model(params) {
    return this.store.findRecord('user', params.id);
  },
  actions: {
    submit: function() {
      this.controller.model.save().then(function() {
        this.transitionTo('admin.users');
      }, (data) => {
        console.log(data.errors);
        this.set('errors', data.errors);
      });
    },
    cancel: function() {
      this.controller.model.rollbackAttributes();
      this.transitionTo('admin.users');
    }
  }
});

And I have this code in the template :
  {{#if errors.length}}

There was a problem

The user could not be saved due to validation errors

  {{/if}}

The server returns {"errors":[{"email":["can't be blank"]}]} and errors are displayed in the console but nothing on the page.
According to the documentation, I tried to return {"errors":{"email":["can't be blank"]}} but I have "InvalidError expects json-api formatted errors array."
How can I show errors with Ember 2?

A: I finally found the solution. The data sent by the server was not using the json API format as written in the doc like this :
HTTP/1.1 422 Unprocessable Entity
Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "status": "422",
      "source": { "pointer": "/data/attributes/first-name" },
      "title":  "Invalid Attribute",
      "detail": "First name must contain at least three characters."
    }
  ]
}

I wrote this code, in ruby, to format it correctly :
class ErrorSerializer
  def self.serialize(errors)
    result = errors.messages.map do |message|
      message.last.map do |detail|
        {
          "source": { "pointer": "/data/attributes/#{message.first}" },
          "detail": detail
        }
      end
    end.flatten
    { errors: result }
  end
end

I can be used like this :
render status: :unprocessable_entity, json: ErrorSerializer.serialize(user.errors)

It has been asked sometimes what would happen if everybody outside responsible one with the environment? We know that at the moment, every time they are plus the movements that fight by one more a more responsible humanity and conscious of the damage that already has been made and still it does to him to the planet including everything what lives in him (also human beings). What would happen if, as well as ecological cars exist, also existed ecological airplanes or ecological cheap hotels? A shining supply For not long time that one is working on the idea to make airplanes ecological. They would be commercial airplanes (the same that is used for the flights low COST) equal of extensive that those that exist today, but that would be designed to reduce to the minimum the CO2 emissions, beginning by the reduction in the fuel burning fire, they would also reduce to the emission of other residues and even the acoustic contamination. One imagines? An airplane that not only is slightly audible, but also he is responsible with the environment. He would be brilliant to have such airplane within the supply of present tourism besides the flights low COST, tour guides and cheap hotels that the market offers at the moment. What would have of interesting? It is speculated on that this type of airplanes, would give value much more to the trip experience that could be offered to the crew.
One knows that the design would count on a totally transparent fuselage so that the passengers can see the sky in fullness. Also, it would even have ergonomic seats and a denominated atmosphere revitalizante zone (with air enriched by antioxidants, vitamins, aromatherapy, etc.). To all this, something truly incredible would be added: it would only have a space of virtual reality thought for the entertainment and leisure of the passengers. And the best thing of all this is than completely recycling would be constructed with material. What we must do so far, is to wait for a little, because stands to count on this type of airplane, approximately for year 2050. It will be worth the pain to hope!
Professionals in all fields of human activity are different from amateurs and dilettantes calculating precision movements and the effectiveness of the effort. With respect to exchange business professionals accuracy movements is an elegant open positions, and the effectiveness of efforts – in successful trading. In principle, having mastered the basic tricks of the trade, you can feel confident in the market forces. But trading is not profitable limited to technology transactions. And here we will consider how to conduct their operations in the major market participants and the "big money". Let us try to understand what actions of professionals are different from the actions of all other players. Learn how to effectively use the methods of execution of transactions is easy enough. Much more difficult to force yourself to act in the market as a minority, ie, play with professionals.
Play on the side professionals – the means to leave the camp plays most and go into camp winning the minority. This means that you should not be influenced by the surrounding mass of players, which throws up and down, and break the psychological connection to them. In other words, the player will have from time to time to act together with the pros against the remaining 90% of bidders. But this does not mean that the player must act against the market as a whole. Professionals will never trade against the trend. They are not included in the short-term speculation, when the composition, jam-packed with investors, at full speed rushes by.
But is it worth the train to slow down or slowed down in the corner, and major market participants are beginning to play their own game – a game of professionals. It is always important to learn to control themselves in critical situations to be able to quickly and accurately make decisions based the trading system. The crowd surpasses you, and the number and strength. Whether you're even a genius, you its not-argue. You have to either join it or become an independent loner.

On the heels of some rather cryptic communications from US Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnuchin, after his visit to Fort Knox, today John Embry told King World News that Mnuchin was just being clever, and no, all of the US gold is not "safe" in Fort Knox.
If The Gold Is Really There, Why Not Do An Audit?
John Embry continues: "As you know, there has been ongoing controversy for decades about the status of the US gold reserves, which were last formally audited in 1953, a mere 64 years ago. If the US government is telling the truth and all the gold is there, why not do an exhaustive audit and thus shut up all the skeptics on the subject? I believe that for many years considerable amounts of Western central bank gold have been mobilized in order to provide physical supply to facilitate the massive paper gold scam occurring on the Comex and the LBMA. Meaning, all the US gold is definitely not "safe" in Fort Knox.
There is undoubtedly gold in a number of Western central bank vaults, but because of swaps, etc, nobody on the outside knows who really owns it and how many claims there are on the same bar. This will all end when the current fiat global system implodes and the public's gold demand overwhelms the physical available from all sources. With the direction things are currently headed in the world, that moment may not be all that far away.
Changing topics, I am not comfortable with where trade relations of various countries are headed. The US is destroying trade relationships in an over-indebted and weakening global economy could prove to be catastrophic. Observers should recall the devastating impact that the Smoot-Hawley Act had in the 1930s depression. The NAFTA negotiations with Canada and Mexico will be challenging enough, so I don't think getting into a heated trade war with the Chinese at this stage of the economic cycle is a very good idea. Let's face it, the American public has been dining out on cheap Chinese goods for several decades. And now that real incomes for the average American are declining, replacing cheap Chinese goods with materially more expensive ones isn't going to go over well with the public.
However, it's not just the US which is the guilty party in this area. I see that China and India are making threatening gestures on the same subject due to their ongoing conflict over Bhutan. When the two countries, which have the world's largest populations, put their trade relationships at risk, only bad outcomes can occur.

In a classic scene from season 4 of The Wire, the HBO crime drama that used one city's drug epidemic to expose the institutional collapse of America, Marlo Stanfield, a young, ambitious kingpin disrupting the natural order of things, provokes a two-bit security officer to anger by stealing candy from the convenience store he's charged with guarding. When the officer steps to the young man, frustrated beyond belief that he would make such a boldfaced move in the officer's presence, Marlo stares him dead in the eye.
The week before the Grammy Awards telecast, show producer Ken Ehrlich blamed the Grammys' ongoing loss of cultural relevance on a lack of diversity within the industry. "The fact of the matter is, we continue to have a problem in the hip-hop world," he told The New York Times.
Not even close. While Ehrlich acknowledges that something is broken, his diagnosis still centers the Grammys as the industry's dominant purveyor of culture. This isn't merely a problem of competing worldviews. The Grammys don't have a hip-hop problem; the Grammys are the problem. If last year was the tipping point, this year the final shoe dropped: With Nielsen numbers to boot, hip-hop has proven it needs the Grammys less than the Grammys need it. Three of the genre's most impactful artists of the last year — Drake, Kendrick Lamar and Childish Gambino — all declined the invitation to perform. And it's going to take more than one night of mild course correction to fix the decades-old disconnect of an institution mired in America's racial and cultural politics.
The Recording Academy knows this. It's evident in the genuine but ultimately ineffectual markers of progress that highlight the Academy's attempt to address its systemic issues: Cardi B becoming the first woman to win best rap album; the most popular artist of the decade, Drake, getting to accept his Grammy during the actual telecast instead of off-air per the usual for winners of best rap song; "This Is America" becoming the first rap song to snag song of the year and record of the year recognition.
Yet, everything happening on stage exists in an alternate reality from the universe hip-hop occupies. Travis Scott, who created a meticulous work of grand scope and vision in his album and tour Astroworld, was literally caged during his Grammy performance. The Grammy problem, as it should be labeled, is a deeper divide to cross than handing out a few key awards or performance invites can bridge. Forget those classically contrived Grammy Moments, in which the telecast pairs together acts of varying genres or generations. Let's look, instead, at two major moments during the telecast that the Grammys tried desperately to avoid. Both illustrate how far the Academy has to go to retain any semblance of relevance in this new world order, and both find opposing figures on rap's spectrum of success — Childish Gambino and Drake — embodying the Marlo effect.
When Childish Gambino's producer and long-time collaborator, Ludwig Göransson, accepted the record of the year award in Gambino's absence, Göransson said, "['This Is America'] calls out injustice, celebrates life and reunites us all at the same time." He then thanked the many rappers featured on the song, including 21 Savage, whose detainment one week ago by ICE helped highlight how another broken institution — the nation's immigration system — plagues predominantly on people of color.
Institutions like the Grammys are the essence of America that Childish Gambino is critiquing. After 40 years of denying hip-hop its just due — the same four decades during which Ehrlich has been producing the show — it's going to take more than one year of incrementalism to do away with the structural forces that got us here.
"You've already won if you have people singing your songs word for word, if you're a hero in your hometown," he continued. "Look, if there's people who have regular jobs who are coming out in the rain, in the snow, spending their hard earned money to buy tickets to come to your shows, you don't need this right here. I promise you, you already won." It's a speech that the Academy and many watching at home needed to hear. Instead, show producers cut Drake off without even the benefit of wrap-up music.
The thing that connects these two responses — Gambino's no-show and Drake's show-out — is that both are inspired by the same dominant will, something few black artists have had the freedom to express without recoiling from industry backlash over the past century. For most of its existence, the Grammys has occupied the prejudicial throne of determining what art and culture and music best sounds like. Artists on the margins had to learn to code switch to get in where they fit. Now that hip-hop artists — and other historically marginalized voices — have flipped the script on all that hegemony, it's past time for the Academy to learn a new language.
While the award show has never existed as a bubble unto itself, it blew up this year at a moment in which ideas around white supremacy, the unmasking of blackface, conversations on cultural appropriation and the rights to exploit particular forms of music have all resurfaced with a vengeance. For Gambino's sake, coming to the Grammys would have netted him nothing. He crafted a song and starred in a video that exposed how much America cares about black people when they're making art but how little America cares about black people when they're dying. Then there's Drake, a pop phenomenon whose star power is only possible as a result of his conscious effort to choose profitability over politics.
In either case, they're both profound examples of the world hip-hop has created of its own accord. The Academy shouldn't take these no-shows or show-outs personally; even if it did what purpose would it serve? What happened on Sunday night was not a protest in the tradition of what occurred exactly 30 years ago, when artists nominated in rap's first-ever Grammy recognition boycotted the event because the revolution wasn't televised. It wasn't even the spirited middle finger for which hip-hop is so notorious. This was hip-hop's message in a bottle, acknowledging that the dynamic has shifted, the tables have turned, the throne has been abdicated and the culture is too busy ruling its own domain to be bothered to show up for the annual retirement party.
The Grammys want it to be one way, but it's the other way. This is hip-hop's show now. Whether hip-hop shows up or not.

I've been a professional magician for around 16 years and truly love it, but I've also got another love and thats cricket.
As young boy my dad would to take me to watch the local cricket team Snibston Grange CC that played on the Snibston Colliery Ground, Coalville.
I vividly remember sitting on the grass bank around the edge of the ground while my dad tried to explain the finer details of the game. Me always at some point asking if the England Cricket team would come and play there (not realising I lived in a tiny mining town).
I always wanted to play cricket and I'm still an avid fan of the sport and who knows if the interest in magic hadn't of took off maybe that would be my career today.
But without magic the next bit would never of happened, I was booked as corporate entertainment by the Champions after dinner speakers and motivational speakers agency a great group of people that book acts all over the world for the corporate market this was to perform at Lumbers Jewellers.
Here I had the privilege of meeting and performing for some very interesting people indeed, one of them being my all time favourite England and Leicestershire cricket player, right handed fast-medium bowler Matthew Hoggard MBE.
A new BBC Sport's study ranks Hoggy as England's best ever bowler.
We had such a great laugh and now keep in touch via Twitter and Facebook and even though were the same age and both love the sport of cricket, I don't think we'd ever of met if it wasn't for the magic career I decided upon.

Q: Can't install Haskell QuickCheck I need to install Haskell's QuickCheck.  I try to run cabal install QuickCheck, and receive the following messages:
Resolving dependencies...
In order, the following would be installed:
primitive-0.6 (new package)
template-haskell-2.9.0.0 (latest: 2.10.0.0) (reinstall) changes:
containers-0.5.5.1 -> 0.5.6.3
tf-random-0.5 (new package)
QuickCheck-2.8.1 -base4point8 (new package)

cabal: The following packages are likely to be broken by the reinstalls:
ghc-7.8.3
Use --force-reinstalls if you want to install anyway.

I am quite new to Haskell, but I have a sneaking suspicion that breaking ghc is not a viable solution.  Any advice?  Thanks!
PS.  ghc and cabal-install were installed using MacPorts.  The ghc version is, as indicated above, 7.8.3.  The port version of cabal-install is hs-cabal-install @1.18.0.5_1.  Additionally, I've encountered this error on two different machines; one is running OS 10.9, the other 10.10.

A: For a per-user cabal installation and not a sandbox, running cabal install --reinstall --force-reinstalls QuickCheck is fine. Using sandboxes is still much better though.

A: I am also new to Haskell but it seems that people should use stack nowadays.
If so,
$ git clone https://github.com/stackbuilders/quickcheck-manual
 $ cd quickcheck-manual/
 $ stack setup
 $ stack install

I'm very excited for this one to be released. I loved The Revenge of the Sith.
I think we're getting a normal Anakin Pop! in this box but I think it would be pretty cool to get a battle damaged Anakin after he gets beat by Obi Wan but before he becomes Vader. That seems like it would be saved for a Con though because people would go nuts for it.
A movie moment would be cool but I think it would take up the entire box! They're probably saving the movie moment for a wider release than a sub box.
It will probably be just an Anakin and not a movie moment.
I still would be super annoyed by a movie moment. They're just not my thing and not why I subscribed to this box. I'm hoping for a single pop, or better yet, a two pack.
The trailer sold me to order this one. I hope I don't regret it! Oh and I hope there is a shirt!
When I went to order it there was no option to select shirt size so I don't think there will be a shirt. That's a bummer since I really enjoy the shirts too.
I'm waiting for the box reveal before I purchase this one. If it's another Pop! deluxe, Movie Moment or 2-Pack, I'm going to pass.
I'm hoping for a movie moment with the lava all splashing up, much like the Star Wars Unleashed statues.
Dangit that is a huge bummer Whatever else is in this box better make up for it!
From the video I hope it is a movie moment!
That statue looks pretty dope!

The new subscription didn't ask for shirt sizes, so i'm assuming they won't come with shirts... Scared of the alternatives. Replacement for shirts are usually disappointing.
I wouldn't count on that. There is no correlation between who is on the box art and the pop. In fact, if there is any correlation, it's a negative one because the pop is usually not of the character on the box. Hope in this case I'm wrong.

I really hope they break convention with that and Anakin is in the box. He is probably my most wanted unmade Star Wars Pop!
Same sentiment. Funko's done head fakes before hehe. Not keeping my hopes up till the spoiler.
I'm still thinking that a post-lava Anakin would make a very original pop. They gotta do it at some point!
Actually, an Anakin in the process of becoming Vader would be amazing. Probably a good movie moment, too, but I'm not really into those.
racheva wrote: I'm still thinking that a post-lava Anakin would make a very original pop. They gotta do it at some point!
maybe a 2 pack of before and after Anakin?
How about a Anakin becoming Vader Pop with built in sound that screams "Noooooooooooooo"
In it as always for star wars.
I really miss tbe spoilers/teasers for these boxes. This one closes in 7 days so it won't be long!
Mawhonic7 wrote: I really miss tbe spoilers/teasers for these boxes. This one closes in 7 days so it won't be long!
I was thinking this earlier. I'm sad we won't be getting info in the lead up like before. It made the time between boxes seem a lot less.
Hopefully the spoiler video will be up tomorrow since it will be officially closed in less than an hour!
We're taking the rebellion against the Empire to a new venue. The Star Wars Smuggler's Bounty subscription box will no longer be available effective July 16. Collectors who have already purchased an annual or founder's subscription will be receiving a refund for the remainder of their subscription period. To ensure that you receive your refund, please update your credit card and billing information at www.smugglersbounty.com.
Do not despair, rebels. The force is strong with this box and your Star Wars Smuggler's Bounty story continues with collectible boxes that will soon be available through a retail partner. You'll still have access to the same thoughtfully curated assortment of exclusive Pop!s, Dorbz, keychains, cups, apparel, pins, plush, patches and other paraphernalia inspired by your favorite characters, stories and moments. We will be sending out emails to notify previous subscribers of the exact location of the new boxes, so it is vital that you remain prepared to strike at a moment's notice.
So I'm sure we all got this email just now. I really hope it goes to Amazon or Hot Topic. I feel like it will be easy to get from those two places.
I want to see the spoiler!
Where the hell is the spoiler video?
atreyu2112 wrote: Where the hell is the spoiler video?
Funko has zero f's for this product. I wouldn't be surprised if there were no pops, just a bunch of socks that don't fit.
Thought they were keeping it through September, which IIRC would have closed out the full third year. Wonder why they switched gears.

However, franchise fatigue kicked in, as the figure fell from the openings of the last two movies from this series. The average was $16,651 from an all-time industry high of 4,529 theaters.
DM3 opened a troubling 35% below the $115.7M of the spinoff Minions from July 2015, which did not even feature Steve Carell as Gru. Despicable Me 2 bowed to $143.1M over its five-day launch over the Fourth of July holiday in 2013, and the new chapter will likely drop 25-30% from that figure in its first five days. Even last July's animated entry from Universal and Illumination, The Secret Life of Pets, did much better, premiering to $103.2M in three days.
Reviews were mixed for the film and the CinemaScore was a good A-. The $100M mark should be crossed on the Fourth of July holiday this Tuesday. After that, Spider-Man: Homecoming kicks off on Thursday night and may act like a buzzsaw, cutting into part of DM3's audience. Luckily, there is not much else for younger kids all month until The Emoji Movie opens at the very end of July.
Despicable Me 3 went out into 46 new international markets this weekend, grossing an estimated $95.6M boosting the overseas cume to $116.9M, including some markets that bowed earlier. The worldwide total stands at $192.3M to date with plenty of top territories still to open, including China, Korea, Japan, France, and Germany.
Making a big splash in second place was the action thriller Baby Driver from writer/director Edgar Wright, which debuted to an estimated $21M over the Friday-to-Sunday period and a stellar $30M since debuting on Tuesday night with pre-shows. The R-rated film starring Ansel Elgort, Kevin Spacey, Jon Hamm, and Jamie Foxx earned rave reviews across the board, which helped to spark interest from moviegoers. That was key, since this is an original movie competing in a marketplace flooded with known brands. The mid-week launch also got word-of-mouth going which helped convince many more to go out and see it by the time the weekend rolled around.
Sony research showed that the crowd was 55% male and 61% 25 and older. Budgeted at $34M, Baby Driver was expected to post a solid debut but these numbers exceeded industry expectations. The A- grade from CinemaScore showed that ticket buyers liked what they paid for and the road ahead is promising, thanks to the great reviews and buzz. Joining Get Out and Split, Baby Driver has shown again that audiences this year are coming out in large numbers for quality original films from talented writer/directors. Those three films cost less than $50M combined, but will gross over $600M worldwide.
Tumbling down from first to third place this weekend was Michael Bay's fifth Transformers movie The Last Knight with an estimated $17M, down 62% from its opening weekend. Paramount has collected $102.1M to date for the pricey sequel, which should end its domestic run in the vicinity of $130M, a big drop from the $245.4M of the last installment Age of Extinction, and by far the lowest ever for the whole franchise. Overseas, the top global market of China also saw a fast fade with a 76% nosedive in the second weekend. Total there is $193.5M, the international cume is $327.8M, and the worldwide tally so far is $429.9M. The global final may be headed for the neighborhood of $650M for a sizable 40% fall from the $1.1 billion of the last chapter.
Leggy comic book smash Wonder Woman declined by only 38% to an estimated $15.6M, pushing the domestic total to a robust $346.1M. That ranks number four all-time for the fifth weekend gross of a super hero film after only Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, and The Dark Knight. Diana has climbed to number 42 on the list of all-time domestic blockbusters replacing last year's Zootopia. With good stamina and the holiday week ahead, Wonder Woman still looks set to finish its North American run in the area of $390M.
International grosses rose to $361.8M for a new global take of $707.9M surpassing Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, and Doctor Strange. The next challenge for the DC hit will be to face competition from a pair of promising franchise tentpoles opening over the next two weeks that were screened for press early and have already earned stellar reviews – Spider-Man: Homecoming and War for the Planet of the Apes.
This summer has seen many sequels fall below their predecessors, and Cars 3 from Disney and Pixar is no different. The G-rated toon fell a sharp 62% to an estimated $9.5M for a cume of $120.7M. Enthusiasm around this title has only been moderate. Cars 3 is set to finish as the second lowest grossing Pixar movie ever beating only The Good Dinosaur.
Will Ferrell also suffered from audience rejection with his latest comedy The House which opened poorly to an estimated $9M from 3,134 locations for a weak $2,872 average. The R-rated pic from Warner Bros. co-starring Amy Poehler generated little excitement with audiences and follows a trend of R-rated comedy misfires coming out of Hollywood recently. Next up for the genre is Girls Trip hoping to shake things up on July 21.
Shark thriller 47 Meters Down fell 34% to an estimated $4.7M putting Entertainment Studios at $32.6M. The Civil War period drama The Beguiled expanded nationwide after a strong platform start and grossed an estimated $3.3M for eighth place. Focus averaged a respectable $4,837 from 674 locations for a cume of $3.6M.
Tom Cruise's actioner The Mummy dropped 54% to an estimated $2.8M lifting the domestic total to $74.5M. Universal has banked $369.9M worldwide to date. Another pricey star-driven Hollywood tentpole underperforming domestically followed with Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales at an estimated $2.4M, down 55%, for a $165.5M cume for Disney and $708.7M worldwide. China is the top-grossing market on both films beating North America with $90.9M and $172.3M, respectively.
The top ten films grossed an estimated $160.6M which was off 11% from last year when Finding Dory stayed at number one with $41.8M; but up 26% from 2015 when Inside Out climbed into the top spot with $29.8M.

How do you Sense the Sea, Child?
Stand at the shoreline. Curl your toes into damp sand, dip your fingers in the water, feel cold rush over your skin. Listen to the rumble, the roar and the hiss. Taste the air in your mouth. What colour is the sea, would you say?
Once upon a time the sea was a pale thing, clear as water in a glass. It was sweet, too, and good to drink. The ancient Viking sea-kings could sail for months—so long as they had cured fish and dry bread and barley for porridge—because there was plenty of water to drink.
The sea-king known as Mysing was a trader and a warrior, with grey eyes and the nose of hawk. Many said he had the mind of a hawk, too: sharp, opportunistic, and sometimes cruel. Mysing and his men invaded the lands of King Frodi, drawn there by a low rumble of song. A melody of pain and torment and misfortune, blood and tears and separation.
Upon Frodi's inevitable death, Mysing discovered a mill and, chained to the wooden beam that moved the huge millstone, two giantesses with ugly red marks under the iron cuffs that circled their wrists. The muscles on their arms and legs were sharply defined from the unrelenting work of pushing the heavy stone.
They were dressed in blue rags, and it was this which first caught Mysing's attention. These days, of course, blue dye is no great thing, but then it was rare and valuable, something only the wealthiest would have, so Mysing knew the enslaved women were important. He wondered if he could gain some advantage with the giants' clan.
And then he learned that the mill was bewitched, and would grind anything one desired so long as the stone could be made to move, and his grey eyes glittered with greed.
Mysing poured a smile onto his face and spoke kindly to the giantesses, whose names were Fenja and Menja, promising freedom and safe passage if they would join him on his boat. They were so relieved to be free they did not ask questions when Mysing broke their chains but left the cuffs on their wrists.
Fenja and Menja walked willingly onto Mysing's boat and drank the cups of spiced wine they were given. Exhausted from many weeks of hard labour, they slept.
When they woke, they found the millstone had also been transported, and their chains had been repaired.
They roared, then, so loud it might have been thunder, and pulled at their bonds, but it was no use. Mysing laughed and bade them grind salt which then, you understand, was more valuable than gold, for one cannot preserve food with gold.
When they refused he had his men turn their longbows on Menja alone, telling Frenja that he would kill her companion and leave her to live. Mysing recognised love when he saw it and, if you'll recall, his mind was sharp and opportunistic and, sometimes, cruel.
The giantesses turned their dark eyes to each other and an unspoken word passed between them. They began to push, and Mysing smiled as salt started to pour from the millstone. They moved faster and he laughed, imagining his retirement as a wealthy man.
Then, in little more than a few breaths, the salt began to fill every space on the boat. His laughter died. With the millstone and the giantesses, the boat already sat low in the water, and now the weight of the salt pulled it lower.
Menja and Frenja began to sing a song of pain and torment and misfortune, blood and tears and separation, and Mysing's eyes turned to horror as he realised it was the same song which had led him to destroy King Frodi.
Fingers of white lightening caressed the sky, the wind screamed, and waves of icy water breached the sides of the boat. They say the giantesses clasped their hands together and stared into each other's eyes as the boat, its crew, the mill, and all the salt sank beneath the churning sea surface.
So, what colour is the sea, child? They say that on a still day it is blue, stained forever by the dye that seeped into the water from Menja and Frenja's ragged clothes. While on a stormy day it is grey-dark, to remind us of the folly of a cruel, greedy man with grey eyes.
Now touch your finger to your tongue, child and tell me.
Do you taste salt?
This is a retelling of a Norse story/poem called "Gróttasöngr" (The Mill's Songs) with a few extra twists of my own. The character names, however, are unchanged.

Remembering Gov. Gerald Baliles
The former Miller Center director led a life dedicated to public service
After a four-year battle with cancer, Gerald Baliles—the 65th governor of Virginia (from 1986 to 1990), a champion of education, and an alum of the University of Virginia's School of Law—passed away October 29, at age 79.
"In the Commonwealth, we knew Governor Baliles as a public servant of the highest caliber, working on behalf of all Virginians," said Miller Center Governing Council Chair Alice Handy. "Here at the Miller Center, we also knew him as our former director and we knew him as a friend."
The governor led the Miller Center—a nonprofit affiliate of the University of Virginia, dedicated to presidential scholarship, public policy, and political history—for eight years (2006–14).
"Jerry brought wisdom and integrity to everything he did," said current Miller Center Director Bill Antholis. "His record of service to the Commonwealth and the nation is extraordinary. His commitment to the University and the Miller Center set the standard that we all strive to maintain. The governor's wife and family are in our thoughts and prayers."
Born in Patrick County in 1940, Baliles attended Wesleyan University and the University of Virginia School of Law. He was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 1975. Six years later, he was elected attorney general of the Commonwealth. He won the governorship in 1985, earning 55% of the vote.
A look back on his life and career reveals a steadfast dedication to public service. His term as governor featured a particular focus on education—culminating in an historic National Summit on Education at the University of Virginia in 1989. That event featured the meeting of then-President George H. W. Bush and then-Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton. During his governorship, he also made notable strides in transportation, competitiveness, and environmental protection.
After serving in Richmond, Governor Baliles went into private practice at Hunton & Williams and also was appointed by President Clinton as co-chair of the National Commission to Ensure a Strong Competitive Airline Industry.
In 2006, Governor Baliles was recruited to serve as director and CEO of the Miller Center, where he served until December 31, 2014. While leading the Miller Center, Governor Baliles compiled an impressive record of achievements—and the nation continues to reap rewards from his hard work.
Most notably, he established the National War Powers Commission, co-chaired by James Baker and Warren Christopher. The group developed a proposed revision of the War Powers Act, which was submitted for consideration by Senators Tim Kaine (D-VA) and John McCain (R-AZ). Baliles also initiated the David R. Goode National Transportation Policy Conference which led to a commission report presented to President Obama in the White House Rose Garden. Baliles also oversaw a series of other commissions on competitiveness, entrepreneurialism, health policy, and higher education. And he kicked off a national discussion and debate series (broadcast on ABC News and PBS) and created the American Forum television program, which ran for six years.
Under his leadership, the Miller Center launched the George W. Bush Presidential Oral History Project (to be released to the public this Friday, November 1, 2019) and the Edward M. Kennedy Oral History Project (which was released in 2015). He also oversaw the public release of the George H. W. Bush Oral History Project and the Bill Clinton Presidential History Project, and laid the groundwork for the Barack Obama Presidential Oral History Project, which the Miller Center is currently conducting.
Baliles also oversaw the publication of more than a dozen transcript volumes from the John F. Kennedy, Lyndon. B. Johnson, and Richard M. Nixon White House tapes, the release of four narrative works based on those tapes, and the establishment of the Presidential Recordings Digital Edition for the further publication of Miller Center scholarship on the tapes.
In 2018, the Miller Center established the Gerald L. Baliles Professorship in Presidential Studies to honor the governor's service and dedication to the organization and to promote nonpartisan and pragmatic study of the institution of the presidency. "To have an endowed chair is the highest honor a professor can have," said Miller Center Director of Presidential Studies Barbara Perry when she became the first to hold the title. "I have had two chairs previously, but this is the first I've had that is named for someone who not only hired me at the Miller Center but whom I considered to be a mentor and friend."

Эдуард Бок (при рождении Эдуард Виллем Герард Цезарь Хидде Бок, ; 9 октября 1863, Ден-Хелдер, Нидерланды — 9 января 1930, Лейк-Уэлс, Флорида, США) — американский журналист и писатель голландского происхождения, лауреат Пулитцеровской премии. Был редактором журнала Ladies' Home Journal в течение 30 лет, с 1889 по 1919 год. Он также популяризовал проекты жилых домов и создал сад Бок-Тауэр-Гарденс в центральной Флориде.

Биография
Бок родился в Ден-Хелдере (Нидерланды). В возрасте шести лет вместе с семьёй эмигрировал в США, где поселился в Бруклине, штат Нью-Йорк. Семья бедствовала, и Бок вынужден был после школы работать мойщиком окон в пекарне, а также каждый день собирать по канавам уголь, который случайно падал с вагонов.

В 1882 году Бок устроился на работу в книгоиздательскую фирму Henry Holt and Company. В 1884 году перешёл в издательскую компанию Charles Scribner's Sons, где в конечном итоге стал менеджером по рекламе. С 1884 по 1887 год Бок был редактором журнала The Brooklyn Magazine, а в 1886 году основал собственную фирму Bok Syndicate Press.

После переезда в Филадельфию в 1889 году Бок стал редактором журнала Ladies' Home Journal, когда его основатель и редактор Луиза Кнапп Кертис решила перейти на менее ответственную должность. Журнал издавался компанией Сайруса Кертиса, владевшего известной издательской империей, публиковавшей множество газет и журналов.

В 1896 году Бок женился на Мэри Луизе Кертис, дочери Луизы и Сайруса Кертисов. Она разделяла интерес своей семьи к музыке, культурной деятельности и благотворительности и была очень активна в социальных кругах. Незадолго до свадьбы Бок выпустил книгу советов для юношей. Среди прочего, в ней он писал, что «мужчина, который искренне любит свою мать, жену, сестру или возлюбленную, никогда не рассказывает истории, которые унижают их пол в глазах других». За время работы Бока в редакции Ladies' Home Journal стал первым в мире журналом, достишим миллиона подписчиков. Он обрёл большое влияние на читателей, снабжая их через статьи статьи информативными и прогрессивными идеями. Журнал освещал актуальные социальные проблемы. В 1920 году появилась автобиография Бока The Americanization of Edward Bok, обзор которой подготовил Генри Менкен, хорошо знавший журнал Бока. Менкен отметил, насколько непримирим был Бок к унылости внутреннего убранства американских домов и как жаждал преобразований, в итоге назвав его самым эстетически полезным гражданином страны. В 1921 году автобиография Бока была удостоена Пулитцеровской премии.

Ladies' Home Journal также стал первым журналом, отказавшимся от рекламы патентованных лекарств.

В 1919 году, проработав тридцать лет в журнале, Бок вышел в отставку с поста редактора.

В 1923 году Бок создал Американскую премию мира.

В 1924 году Мэри Луиза Бок основала Музыкальный институт Кертиса в Филадельфии, который посвятила своему отцу, Сайрусу Кертису. В 1927 году Боки приступили к строительству сада Бок-Тауэр-Гарденс рядом с их зимним домом в Маунтин-Лейк-Эстейтс, Лейк-Уэлс, штат Флорида, который был открыт 1 февраля 1929 года президентом США Кэлвином Кулиджем. Башню Бока — «Поющую башню» — иногда называют храмом, она внесена в Национальный реестр исторических мест как национальный исторический памятник. Бок приведён как пример искусного собеседника в книге Дейла Карнеги «Как заводить друзей и оказывать влияние на людей».

Бок умер 9 января 1930 года в Лейк-Уэлс. Двое из его внуков — педагог Дерек Бок и фолк-певец Гордон Бок.

Бок и американская жилищная архитектура

В 1895 году Бок начал публиковать в Ladies' Home Journal проекты домов, доступных для американского среднего класса: стоимостью от 1500 до 5000 долларов — с полными спецификации с учётом региональных цен. Материалы высылались по почте за 5 долларов. Позже Бок и Ladies' Home Journal стали главной силой популяризации «бунгало» — стиля жилища, пришедшего из Индии. Проекты этих домов стоили всего доллар, и полутораэтажные жилые дома, некоторые площадью до 75 м², вскоре стали доминирующей формой новой жилищной архитектуры в стране.

Некоторые архитекторы жаловались, что, публикуя проекты зданий в массовом порядке, Бок узурпировал их права, а некоторые, такие как Стэнфорд Уайт, открыто отговаривали его так поступать, хотя Уайт позже писал:Я считаю, что Эдуард Бок сильнее повлиял на американскую жилищную архитектуру в сторону улучшения, чем любой человек в нашего поколения. Когда он начал [публиковать проекты]… я отказался с ним сотрудничать. Если бы Бок пришел ко мне сейчас, я бы не только готовил проекты для него, но и отказался бы от платы за них в исправление моей прошлой ошибки.Бок выступал за использование термина living room () для обозначения помещения, которое обычно называли parlor или drawing room — гостиная, иногда ему ошибочно приписывают изобретение этого термина. Такая комната традиционно использовалась только по воскресеньям или для официальных мероприятий, например, для прощания с умершими членами семьи перед похоронами; это была буферная зона между общественным и частным пространством остальной части дома. Бок считал глупым создавать комнату с дорогой мебелью, которая редко используется, и предложил альтернативное название, чтобы побудить семьи использовать комнату в своей повседневной жизни

Для Бока было важно сохранить своё социально консервативное видение идеальной американской семьи, согласно которому жена должна быть домохозяйкой и воспитательницей детей, а дети воспитывались в здоровой, естественной обстановке, близко к земле. С этой целью он пропагандировалпригород как лучшее место для уравновешенной домашней жизни.

Теодор Рузвельт сказал о Боке:[Он] — единственный человек, о котором я слышал, что он изменил к лучшему архитектуру целой нации. И он сделал это так быстро и эффективно, что мы не знали, что изменения начались до того, как они были завершены.

Права женщин
В Ladies' Home Journal Бок опубликовал более двадцати статей против избирательного права женщин, работающих женщин, женских клубов и образования для женщин. Он писал, что феминизм приведет женщин к разводам, плохому здоровью и даже смерти. Бок запросил статьи против прав женщин у бывших президентов Гровера Кливленда и Теодора Рузвельта (хотя Рузвельт позже передумал и стал сторонником избирательного права женщин). Бок рассматривал суфражисток как предателей своего пола, говоря, что «нет большего врага женщины, чем сама женщина».

Широкое влияние Ladies' Home Journal на американских женщин среднего класса сделало Бока ключевым союзником движения против избирательного права. Женские клубы пытались организовать бойкот журнала, за что Бок пригрозил им судебным преследованием.

Награды и премии
Автобиография Бока The Americanization of Edward Bok: The Autobiography of a Dutch Boy Fifty Years After (1920) удостоена золотой медали Академии политических и социальных наук и Пулитцеровской премии 1921 года за биографию или автобиографию.

Корабль типа «Либерти» времён Второй мировой войны SS Edward W. Bok был назван в его честь.

Brunswick, ME — September 26, 2019– CEI today announced the addition of three new professionals to its organization: Amy Winston as State Policy Director; Leah B. Thibault as Marketing Manager and Anna Ackerman as Women's Business Center Program Developer.
As State Policy Director, Amy Winston will lead policy initiatives supporting the organization's strategic objectives to expand economic opportunities, create good jobs and support environmentally sustainable enterprises. Trained as a cultural anthropologist, Amy previously conducted ethnographic fieldwork in an eastern Kentucky mining town that was seeking to diversify its economic dependence on coal following mine closures. There, she helped establish a local "action team" dedicated to participatory, sustainable development strategies. Her experience includes working as a legislative analyst at the state level and earning her Maine social work license. She holds a Ph.D. in Anthropology from Purdue University and an M.A. in Political Science from the University of New Hampshire.
Joining the marketing team is Leah B. Thibault, who has spent 10 years working at CEI Capital Management, a subsidiary of CEI focused on New Markets Tax Credit transactions. Starting as an office assistant, Leah was promoted several times, most recently serving as Director of Executive Administration and Special Projects.
