Voters in Bosnia and Herzegovina made their regular trips to polling stations for municipal elections this Sunday, but many came not for the usual reasons. Rather, they went to make sure they did not vote.
Some citizens made the trip just to draw a big X through the list of candidates, or even to mark up the ballot with cartoonish drawings and farcical write-ins.
"I drew a picture of a little man," said Mirza Piric, 28. And he said many of his friends did the same, choosing to "spoil" their ballots rather than endorse a candidate they didn't believe in. News website Klix.ba reported votes for Chuck Norris, Bob Marley, and a representation of the Korean pop video sensation "Gangnam style."
"I can't see that any party's offering anything new," said Piric. "They're just promises and promises and that keep going for ages."
Piric and his friends are not alone in this feeling. Every district in BiH reported some spoiled ballots this year, with some districts showing that up to 35 percent of ballots counted thus far were "invalid under other criteria," which means the ballots were intentionally spoiled, according to Maksida Piric, a spokesperson for the Election Commission. Overall, 5.5% of ballots nationwide were spoiled, according to preliminary counts by the Commission.
A ballot can not be used or salvaged if it is spoiled this way, Ms. Piric said.
But why bother going to the polls if just to destroy one's own ballot? For these young men, it's to prevent their votes from being stolen by political operatives. If they don't use the ballot assigned to their name, they say, someone else will.
"I didn't want my vote to get used or abused by anyone," said Piric, who noted reports already coming in on Sunday of such fraud in the municipality of Odzak, where the presidential election committee stole, marked, and submitted 55 unauthorized ballots for Mayor.
And indeed BiH has a robust tradition of voter fraud. In 2005, Croatian NGO "GONG" revealed instances of double-voting and votes cast by the deceased. The Council of Europe inthe year 2000 reported large-scale fraud that led to censures and disciplinary actions againstmultiple political parties. Sooner after the war, circumstances were so extreme as do demanda recount when turnout showed more votes were cast than there were voters in the country.
Election officials, for their part, know what to conclude when they see ballots spoiled by doodles or angry X's. "It's a way to send a message," said a spokesperson for the election commission. That message is that while voters may be disenchanted and angry, they remain protective of the one opportunity they have to participate in their democracy. They may not use that opportunity the way it's intended, but they aren't going to relinquish it to someone else.

In the previous post we have gone through necessary steps to use user-defined search criteria on ABAP stack. Now it's time for similar guide dedicated for Java stack. This guide has been made with SAP PO 7.5.
Again, we have 3 major steps to do:
- Define custom filter
- Index messages
- Run custom filter in message monitor
Defining filter
- Go to Configuration and Monitoring Home, then Configuration and Administration -> Adapter Engine -> User – Defined Message Search Configuration
2. Create new filter by pressing on 'New' button, then click 'Create'. Provide necessary information such as Name of the filter, Name and namespace of the interface it's dedicated to. Make sure that you don't leave following fields empty as it will interrupt your filter. For your own peace of mind, in most cases, fill these fields with "*". When you're done press "Save" button.
- Sender Party
- Sender Component
- Receiver Party
- Receiver Component
3. Scroll down to the bottom of the page. In the Search Criteria tab press the button 'New'. In the pop-up window provide a name of your search criteria, provide XPath to the element you want to filter in the payload of your message and press 'Save' button.
4. Proceed to the 'Prefixes' tab and, again, press 'New' button, then 'Create'. Provide prefix namespace and prefix value. Screenshot below should give you an idea of how to feel in these fields. In the end press 'Save'.
5. Make sure that the filter you created is activated. To do so, select your filter and press 'Activate' button on top of the window.
6. Now you are ready to do a quick test of your filter. Press 'Test Search Criteria', provide ID of a sample message and press 'Test Search Criteria' button in the pop-up window. If you set up your filter correctly you should see the value of the field the XPath provided is pointing at (marked green in the picture below).
Indexing messages
- Just like in ABAP stack in order to be able to use your filter you need to index messages first. Press 'Index Options' button, provide date range and press 'Start indexing'. You can check the status of the background job by pressing 'Indexing status' button.
Using custom search criteria
- Go to Configuration and Monitoring Home, then Configuration and Administration -> Monitoring -> Adapter Engine -> Message Monitor -> PI Messages. Check the box 'User-Defined Search Criteria' and then 'Add Predefined'. Provide the name of your Search Criteria, the value you're looking for and press 'Go' button. As a result you should see the list of messages meeting your criteria.
Voila! 🙂

Mombasa port may resume handling Zambian copper exports following increased mining targets.
Zambia used the port more than 30 years ago to ship rich copper exports and now wants this business restarted as soon as modalities are finalised.
Zambian Permanent Secretary for Communications and Transport Fustern Mambwe said the main mining pit in the town of Ndola was expected to produce 20 million tonnes between next year and 2010.
Leading a delegation of permanent secretaries and top company officials from Zambia to Mombasa, Dr Mambwe said his country has targeted copper exports to lead a major push in economic development.
Saying other smaller copper mines had been given production targets, the PS said cumulative amounts cannot rely on the two outlets of ports of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania and Durban in South Africa. Besides, he added, the two ports are congested as opposed to Mombasa.

Hi Folks... First of all, post and I need some help and advice.
I was given a Pastscaster to look at my buddy, he was building a guitar on his own and it appears to me the hardtail bridge he installed is slightly off center and needs to be shifted to the right and a bit higher. The problem is that the original holes drilled for the bridge are only about half covered when moved to the proper place.
Apparently, the pickguard was installed prior to the bridge and when he drilled the holes for the bridge the holes through the body didn't line up properly with the holes in the guitar body, I've never seen anything like it before. I told him he should have installed the bridge first and then the pickguard rig but poop happens I guess....
How might I install the bridge properly without having issues with it coming loose at some point in the future?
Bridge on Partscaster Not Installed Properly

Re: Bridge on Partscaster Not Installed Properly
Partscaster? Like a guitar built from old parts of whatever is handy? I love those. Sometimes you get quite an instrument, sometimes you get quite a wall sculpture. I would drill out the old holes, probably with a 3/8 or 1/2 inch bit, glue wood plugs in, then remount the bridge.
Pictures would be nice.

After a gap of nine months, the Orissa government today resumed land acquisition work for the Rs 52,000 crore Posco steel plant amid tight security, even as those opposed to the project started thronging the area.
The land acquisition work is being undertaken by four teams comprising over 60 officials and personnel from revenue, forest and other departments at Polanga village under Gada Kujanga area, Land Acquisition Officer Surjit Das said.
"The work is progressing smoothly in a peaceful atmosphere. Elaborate security arrangements have been made to ensure smooth acquisition of land," he said.
The land acquisition process for the 12 million tonne steel plant was halted on August 6 last year on orders of the Union Environment and Forest Ministry.
However, earlier this month, the Environment Ministry gave its nod to the project and allowed Orissa government to divert 1,253 hectares of forest land for Posco's steel project.
The approval has come with certain conditions, including ensuring tribal rights and compensatory afforestation, while the South Korean steel major was also asked to bear the cost of regeneration of an equivalent amount of open, degraded land in a district to be determined and indicated by the state government.
The conditions also include ban on iron ore exports from the project.
Sarbeswar Behera and Kalindi Behera of Bayanala locality of Polanga village located in Jagatsinghpur district were among the first to receive cheques for parting with their betel vines during the land acquisition process, Das said.
While Sarbeswar was handed a cheque of Rs 1.40 lakh, Kalindi received Rs 1.60 lakh.
As the process of land acquisition was set in motion, anti-project activists of Posco Pratirodh Sangram Samiti started assembling in the Dhinkia area, while those of Bhitamati Suraksha Janamancha congregated at Nuagaon.
"However, there has been no attempt by anti-Posco activists to disrupt land acquisition work," the police said.
Around 600 police personnel have been deployed in the proposed plant site area to prevent any untoward incident during the land acquisition, official sources said, adding ambulances and fire brigade were also stationed in the area.
Besides Baliltutha and Kujanga, the police force was also deployed in areas like Trilochanpur, Gobindpur and other places where land is to be acquired, they said.

On Sunday I was very kindly invited along to the second #NIBloggerBrunch. The brunch was organised by business woman and style queen Cathy Martin of CMPR and Belfast Fashion Week. The first brunch was held a few months back and from what I saw on snapchat it was such a fun event, so I was very excited when I was found out about the second brunch!
Held in one of Belfast's newest and most visually stunning restaurants Gallery Belfast, the brunch promised to be a fun networking morning, with lots of food and opportunities to talk to fellow bloggers and marketing people, and it defintely didn't disappoint!
I met up with the lovely Katie from The Burning Wick before hand, and the two of us headed in together. I have to say I always LOVE having someone to arrive with. It's something I wish I could get over, but I always feel so much more nervous if I have to arrive by myself.
When we arrived we all get seated before Cathy introduced herself (not that she needed an introduction) and told us the purpose of the morning. She then gave us all a chance to get up and talk for one minute about our blog/business/purpose for being there. Getting to hear everybody talk was so inspiring and motivating. There was 60 of us there and every single one us was bringing something different to the blogging world so to hear the reasons behind everyones blogs or youtubes or social media presence was amazing. And even though I was nervous as hell, I pushed myself to get up and talk. I'm not going to go into what I touched on just yet though because I've actually decided to do a whole blog post on it.
In between hearing everyone talk we got served some extremely delicious food. I've been to Gallery before for lunch, but this was my first time trying them out for breakfast and they certainly didn't disappoint. To start we were served fruit with yoghurt. The next course was a delicious bowl of porridge made with almond milk and topped with fruit, and served with Linwoods Seeds. Finally, we were served scrambled eggs with sourdough bread. All three of these courses where so good so if you are ever in need of a breakfast spot in Belfast, I highly recommend Gallery.
One of the best parts of the morning was definitely getting to meet so many new people and put names to faces. I've been following so many people on instagram for ages and it was great to get to meet them. When we arrived me and Katie sat at a random table and we soon got talking to the lovely (and extremely stylish) Michael and Ciara. It was great chatting about instagram, blogging and other random things with like-minded people. I got talking to so many people and I wish I could mention everyone but I would be sure to forget someone and I would hate to do that!
And ofcourse, what would a blogger event be without a photo opp? I think at least half of the attendees must have taken advantage of the gorgeous art above the staircase for outfit photos, myself included. And if you want proof as to much us bloggers can chat, we all had to get asked to leave in the end (nicely of course) because customers where arriving and we where all still taking up most of the floor space!
I feel like I've rambled on enough about the amazing morning. So I'll just end by saying a huge thanks to Cathy and her team for organising the event. Also to Gallery and all the staff for accommodating us all, you were amazing. And finally, thanks to BPerfect for the tan, JN Wine for the prosecco, and Zen Braces for the voucher! I can't wait for the next event!*POST MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS

Model: Marsha Denlinger
At the Promoting Passions conference 2016, Brooke Shaden told us not to ask permission, but just to do things. In the main room where we were meeting there was this wonderful fireplace, and I wanted to shoot with it. But the speakers stage was directly in front of it. I was pretty sure where Brooke said "just go for it, she did not mean dismantling the stage. So I asked Kelly, the person who was making everything happen, and she had them remove part of the stage for us to shoot around. Thanks Kelly, and thanks Marsha, who bravely made climbed into this huge fireplace.

Quotes About Best Marketers
Stop trying to find the formula that will instantly make your idea into a winner. Instead of being scientists, the best marketers are artists. They realize that whatever is being sold is being purchased, because it creates an emotional want, not because it fills a simple need.Send Quote
When you incorporate giving into your business in an authentic and transparent way, your customers become your best marketers.Send Quote
It's a very simple example to show that if you miss one step in a process in can cost you an enormous amount of time and money to fix. With a checklist, you can write it down and give it some someone else for them to do successfully. Checklists require discipline and organization, which is something internet marketers have to master.Send Quote
The consistent growth in overall revenues shows marketers may be shifting more of their total advertising budgets to online. This is a natural development as research shows more consumers are spending a larger percentage of their media time online, while the flow of advertising dollars follows.Send Quote
Social enables word of mouth at an unprecedented scale. Its most powerful effect, through reviews and recommendations, is to put product quality and value for money as the key to success in commerce. Social brings a level of transparency that prevents marketers from advertising their way to success without underlying product quality.Send Quote
Brands must empower their community to be change agents in their own right. To that end, they need to take on a mentoring role. This means the brand provides the tools, techniques and strategies for their customers to become more effective marketers in achieving their own goals.Send Quote
Don't try to change someone's worldview is the strategy smart marketers follow. Don't try to use facts to prove your case and to insist that people change their biases. You don't have enough time and you don't have enough money. Instead, identify a population with a certain worldview, frame your story in terms of that worldview and you win.Send Quote

Supermarket insurance package – including public, product and employee liability
As specialist insurers we are very aware of the possible pitfalls in running a busy supermarket, from dealing with the public, to health and safety legislation and legal obligations to staff.
There is a raft of cover which supermarket owners need in place to cover themselves and their business should they run into difficulties involving: public liability requirements, food hygiene, fire procedures, health and safety regulations or employee liability issues. Plus given the wide range of goods stocked by supermarkets, there is also product liability to consider.
As an independent, family run firm, Highworth Insurance can help deliver a carefully tailored supermarket insurance package, designed around you and your business.
Dependable supermarket insurance that can include the following:
- Buildings insurance– you may own the building where your supermarket operates. It normally makes sense to insure the complete building as part of your supermarket insurance package, to ensure there are no gaps in cover. This can cover rental flats and other occupied parts of the building. Options can include: accidental damage such as breaking sanitary wear or putting a foot through a ceiling. Also we are adept at insuring unusually constructed properties, including listed or converted properties or those having a history of subsidence or flooding. These can often be covered with little or no increase in cost.
- Business contents insurance – your business contents may cover a wide variety of assets. From simple items like furniture and PC's through to expensive fixtures and fittings.
- Stock insurance – cover for your stock is important in a wide range of circumstances. Cover in the event of theft and break-in is obviously crucial, but there also damage from smoke, fire and flooding to consider, for example should your premises suffer vandalism, fire or water damage from a burst pipe.
- You are legally obliged to have public liability insurance and it relieves the strain of worrying should your customers trip, slip or come to harm at your supermarket.
- Product liability insurance gives you a safety net should you sell something in an unsafe condition, especially when the manufacturer may not be liable.
- Employee's liability insurance – this is applicable to anybody; whether a shop assistant or cleaner, if they are working for you, you take on the associated employer liabilities, including meeting the requirements of the Health and Safety at work act 1974.
- Business interruption and alternative accommodation costs in the event of a relevant claim.
- Up to £1,000 cover for loss of keys or damage to fixed signs and glass.
- Legal expenses cover helps in those difficult disputes.
- Supplier contractual disputes for the sale and supply of goods.
- Employment issues concerning contracts of employment or any employment related legislation.
- Defence of criminal prosecutions and appeals against Improvement Notices under the Health and Safety at Work Act or the Food Safety Act.
Convenient cover for a convenience store

BRADENTON, Fla. – As Louisiana faces losing more than a $1 billion in revenues at the end of this fiscal year, a new state treasurer took office promising to oppose new taxes.
John Schroder, a conservative Republican from St. Tammany Parish, won a Nov. 18 runoff election for treasury's top position with 56% of the vote. He was sworn into office Tuesday night.
"It's time for state government to live within its means," Schroder tweeted Nov 13.
Schroder resigned his seat in the House to complete the remaining two years of now U.S. Sen. John Kennedy's term.
After Kennedy resigned in January, Ron Henson served as interim treasurer until the election. Henson will return to his former position as first assistant state treasurer.
As treasurer, Schroder said in his biography, he will "continue expressing his opposition to increasing taxes on Louisiana taxpayers, pushing for a streamlined budgeting process, and for overhauling the entire tax system for Louisiana."
The treasurer's office does not set tax rates in Louisiana.
Schroder will become chairman of the State Bond Commission. His first meeting will be Dec. 14. He will also oversee the state's $5.7 billion investment portfolios.
Schroder was first elected to the state House in 2007, the same year former Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal was elected to the first of his two terms, and became a founder of the House Fiscal Budget Hawks.
The Budget Hawks, his bio said, are a group of legislators that "committed to end wasteful government spending, balance the budget, and successfully pass legislation to end the practice of using one-time money on recurring expenses."
On his campaign-for-treasurer website, Schroder said, "Louisiana has a spending problem, not a revenue problem. We are structurally broken."
"When I began my first term as a state legislator eight years ago, I quickly recognized our state government had fundamental issues with our budget and spending practices," he said. "I have repeatedly pointed to these problems over the years to bring them to light."
Schroder said the budget process is not rocket science, and that "government must understand you cannot spend more revenue than you take in."
A U.S. Army veteran, Schroder is co-owner of a real estate company and a residential developer. He is a graduate of Southeastern Louisiana University.
Louisiana is currently approaching a budget crisis as temporary revenue raising measures, including a 1-cent sales tax increase, expire at the end of this fiscal year.
Fitch Ratings said Louisiana is one of "five states where developments in 2018 have the potential to affect credit quality," in a 2018 Outlook report for U.S. States Wednesday.
Gov. John Bel Edwards, a Democrat, and the GOP-led Legislature will need to address the budget gap, which is more than 11% of expenditures for fiscal 2019, Fitch said, adding that so far Edwards' proposals to extend the revenue measures or replace them with other solutions have not received significant legislative support.
"Given the softness in natural resource markets, a key driver of the state's revenue sources, and the already extensive expenditure reductions implemented by the state as it tackled multiple years of budget gaps, Fitch anticipates a contentious 2018 legislative session," Fitch said.
Louisiana's three-month regular session begins March 12.

- Joint news release with South Cambridgeshire District Council
Plans for 44,000 new jobs and 33,500 new homes in Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire have moved a step forward after Government inspectors did not raise any objections to the strategy of focusing growth in new towns and a new village. Inspectors reviewing the two Local Plans completed hearings in July, and South Cambridgeshire District Council and Cambridge City Council have now published correspondence with Government inspectors up to this point to update local people on the stage the plans have reached.
The documents cover some of the changes the inspectors have suggested they believe may be needed for the two Plans to be agreed and signed off, and have asked the Councils to draft the modifications needed. A complete final list from the inspectors is expected in the next few weeks. Councillors have said they plan to launch a public consultation as soon as they have the final information from the inspectors and will give extra time for people to have their say to allow for Christmas.
The Local Plans submitted to Government focussed growth for the Greater Cambridge area in a new town north of Waterbeach, a new village at Bourn Airfield, and an extension to Cambourne. Around 300 homes are also proposed for Worts Causeway on the edge of Cambridge. The independent inspectors reviewing the plans to make sure they are 'sound' have not objected to this overall approach.
The main modifications the inspectors have raised so far include:
- Information about suitable land that is readily available in the next 5 years to meet the number of homes that need to be built
- Changing policies so affordable housing is sought on sites of more than 10 homes. The Government intends this to encourage more smaller housing developments
- Modest changes to site boundaries and policies at the new town north of Waterbeach and new village at Bourn Airfield
- Allocation of additional employment land at the Addenbrooke's Campus
Councillors have welcomed the Government inspectors' draft recommendation that the two councils review their plans in 2019 and begin to draw up a single Local Plan for the Greater Cambridge area. This recommendation matches up with the commitment the two councils made as part of the City Deal agreement, now the Greater Cambridge Partnership, with Government in 2014.
The plans are in addition to the current extensions being built or planned for on the edge of Cambridge and at the new town of Northstowe. These will be carried forward into the new Local Plans.
- CambridgePPF have written to the Mayor, his cabinet and both the GCP Joint Assembly and Executive Board on the City Access Strategy- see letter here CambridgePPF ltr re GCP and we also had a press release on the subject in the Cambridge Independent Letter CPPF Congestion letter Sept17
- We are aware of that our adjacent neighbour Uttlesford District Council has closed the consultation on their draft local plan. Please find the link to all of the documents here https://www.uttlesford.gov.uk/draftplan2017 Included here are the proposals for up to 5000 at Great Chesterford, which is near to Hinxton, Ickeleton, Great Abington, A11 and A1303. Reading the proposals, they are planning on 1900 houses to be completed by 2033. The remaining of the 5000 has not been outlined. We share concerns about the implications into South Cambs from added traffic, noise, pollution and water runoff- especially to our mill at Hinxton. However, it is still early and the plan process could be another few years.

If you were hoping that Kroger would get back on board with doubling coupons, I have some news that might disappoint you. Kroger stores in the Delta Region will no longer double coupons beginning on July 10th. The Delta region includes stores in Memphis, Arkansas, Mississippi, Western Kentucky and Southern Missouri.
I know this doesn't surprise many folks as we've already lost double coupons in several regions. I'm still holding out for the Southeast region to keep double coupons to compete with other large grocery chains like Publix, Bi-Lo and Harris Teeter that all double… but I'm starting to wonder.
In reality, I know we'll all just tighten our budgets and look for other ways to save, but it's always frustrating when a store changes a policy you have enjoyed for a long time. Honestly, I wish they had just done it across all regions in one fell swoop instead of slowly picking them off one by one.
What are your thoughts on Kroger dropping double coupons?

When police started looking into Thomas Marra, Jr.'s multinational car-theft operation, the one-time FBI informant decided it was time to tie up a few loose ends. The result was murder.
One of the loose ends was 15-year-old Alex Palmieri — a young man whose plans to become an opera singer were subsumed by the excitement of stealing cars. Alex was nabbed by police and Marra suspected he had become an informant. Marra directed two associates, Nicky Byers and Frank Spetrino, to bring Alex to his home on February 6, 1984 for a talk.
They did so, and Alex was never seen alive again. The only hard evidence to his fate was a tennis shoe and foot bones that washed up on a Bridgeport, Connecticut beach. Based on that slim forensic evidence and the testimony of Byers and Spetrino, Marra was convicted of the teen's killing and sentenced to 60 years in prison.
"Marra was like Fagin and Alex was his Oliver Twist," prosecutor Robert A. Lacobelle told a Connecticut newspaper. "Alex looked up to Marra, and Marra took advantage of that, making Alex commit crimes for him."
Marra had previously worked for the FBI as an undercover informant in a messed-up sting operation designed to nab Bridgeport officials who were suspected of taking bribes. The sting blew up in the FBI's face when Bridgeport police arrested Marra for attempting to bribe the head of the city's police department. The local cops donated the feds' money used to solicit the bribe to charity and the red-faced agents were forced to ask that the charges against their de facto agent be dropped. However, the sting-gone-bad drew the local authorities to Marra's stolen-car operation like flies to garbage and put him in a very precarious position.
While Alex's girlfriend waited in the car, Byers, Spetrino and Alex went into Marra's garage to discuss Alex's future with the car-theft ring.
Marra told Alex he wanted the teen to disappear for a while and offerred to send him to Italy. Alex refused and the discussion got heated. Marra gave Spetrino an aluminum bat and whispered to him not to let Alex leave the garage. As Alex tried to leave, Spetrino swung the bat, hitting the boy in the head. He dealt two or three more blows.
"Let's get him in the refrigerator," Spetrino recalled that Marra ordered.
They dragged the semi-conscious victim toward the cooler and Alex began mumbling "Boss! Boss!" Spetrino testified at Marra's trial.
"Shut up, Alex," Marra said. "You didn't go to Italy."
Marra proceeded to beat Alex with the bat until he quieted down — the 15 to 20 blows reportedly split open his skull, exposing his brain. They put his body in the refrigerator and padlocked the door.
Byers testified against Marra, telling the jury that after they dumped the refrigerator, Marra told him that if he talked, "there was a barrel big enough for him." He also testified that Alex was still semi-conscious after they padlocked the refrigerator and that the men could hear him talking.
Later, in a rented van, the men drove to where the Pequonnock River empties into the Bridgeport harbor and after chopping a few holes in the refrigerator to make it sink, dumped the cooler into the water. Spetrino testified that he watched the refrigerator for a "short time" and he noticed that it did not sink, but floated.
Alex's family filed a missing person report and by October 1985, the police investigation concluded that Marra had probably killed the young man.
Authorities executed a search warrant of Marra's home on October 7, 1985. They took 16 wood and soil samples that passed presumptive tests for blood. However, more in-depth tests were never conducted because sometime between 1985 and 1990, the samples were lost.
During Marra's trial, the state was allowed to introduce the reports about the lost evidence, but the jury was also given a lengthy instruction that "if the state did not produce the evidence that it would ordinarily be expected to produce, the jury could infer that the evidence was unfavorable to the state."
The only physical evidence in this case was discovered by a woman and her son who were walking along the shore about two miles from where Spetrino helped Marra dump the refrigerator. The mother and son came across a Pro Champs sneaker and a sock containing what appeared to be a human foot.
A forensic anthropologist testified at Marra's trial that the bones were consistent with a Caucasian male between the ages of 14 and 50. The appearance of barnacles on the sneaker indicated that it had been in the water for some time. Alex's girlfriend, his mother and Spetrino all identified the tennis shoe as the same type that Alex was wearing the day he disappeared.
Marra's defense consisted of arguing that the state had not proved Alex was dead. Instead, he tried to establish that Alex had fled to Argentina, where he had relatives. The defense introduced evidence that Alex had been present at a travel agency five days after Marra was alleged to have killed him.
Marra also had a witness who purchased Marra's home afer the disappearance and who testified that a refrigerator similar to the one described by Spetrino was still in the house.
Finally, Marra's attorney asked why police divers searched for five months for the refrigerator in a relatively small area but were unable to find it.
In the end, with just a tiny amount of physical evidence linking him to the crime, Marra was convicted of Alex's murder.

Bare Bones Conviction
When police started looking into Thomas Marra, Jr.'s multinational car-theft operation, the one-time FBI informant decided it was time to tie up a few loose ends. The result was murder.
Stolen Dreams
Arthur P. Moccia of Philadelphia, PA, learned that dealing with mob loansharks is always a losing proposition. The lesson was terribly expensive — in the end Moccia, a man who only dreamed of owning his own restaurant, lost nearly everything including his sanity.
Moccia was another casualty of the mobster parasites who infiltrated the Route 9 Holiday Inn in Lakewood, NJ. An earlier entry in the Malefactor's Register highlighted how Ocean County mobsters shook down the hotel's owners and muscled their way into controlling almost all of the hotel's suppliers. What was supposed to be a decent investment for businessmen Carmen Marino and Richard Vogedes soon turned into a cash cow for mobsters John (Johnny D) DiGilio and Vincent (Jimmy Sinatra) Craparotta and their associate Herbert Gross.
fter a relative of the Moccias died, the family came into a substantial inheritance made up of some stocks and bonds, and several houses and garages in Philadelphia. The bequest allowed the Moccias to fulfill a dream of opening a restaurant. The Moccia family moved east from Pennsylvania to Ocean County, the gateway from North Jersey to the beautiful Jersey Shore. At first Moccia considered a fast food franchise, preferrably Burger Chef, but could not find a suitable location. He wisely decided to take his time during the summer of 1966 to find the right opportunity. Meanwhile, Moccia indulged his interest in the ponies, placing bets with a bookmaker at Mack's Bar in Lakewood.
Moccia was a good customer for the bookie, a man he knew only as Andy. However, when Moccia hit a $90 Daily Double and Andy failed to pay off, Moccia got angry.
"I said, 'No more until I see the top man who has the book,'" Moccia said years later. "'I will deal with him. No in-betweens.'"
Moccia was probably giving Andy a lot of action each week (a $90 payout in 1966 is worth about $588 in 2010), so Andy arranged for Moccia to meet his boss, Vincent (Jimmy Sinatra) Craparotta.
Craparotta was the top bookmaker in the Toms River area and worked under the protection/permission of Anthony "Tumac" Acceturo a Jersey-based soldier in the Gambino family. At the time Jimmy Sinatra was grossing $6,000 each week (about $40 grand today) and employing about 13 runners who took bets, collected losses and paid winners. He was also living a very complicated life: He reported to Johnny D, who was slowly switching his own loyalty from the Bonanno family to the more powerful Genovese family. So not only was Jimmy Sinatra paying the Gambino family for permission to operate, he also had to keep the Genovese and Bonannos happy as well.
Throughout the summer of 1966 Moccia continued to place bets directly with Jimmy Sinatra. They saw each other often, but Moccia was quite aware that Jimmy Sinatra was not his friend.
"There was no social relationship," he said. "It was just that when I hit…he would come to my house and pay me, or if I did not hit for the week, then if I had a balance with him I would pay him."
The two men did talk, however, and late in the summer the bookie asked his customer just what he was doing in Ocean County. Moccia explained his plan to open a restaurant, but complained that no appropriate opportunities were on the horizon and that he was considering looking elsewhere.
Craparotta was beginning his extortion of the Holiday Inn owners Marino and Vogedes, who were preparing to open their hotel in Lakewood, and the mobster thought Moccia might be interested in the hotel's food concession. Sometime after Labor Day 1966 Craparotta introduced Moccia to Herbert Gross, Gross's partner in the nearby Claridge Hotel, Frankie Newman, Marino and Vogedes.
The discussion quickly became serious.
"They asked me what my qualifications were and I related to them my background in bar and food, and they asked me if I had any money and I assured them that I did," he said. "They showed me some figures of what the expectancy of business volume at the Holiday would be."
Eventually Marino, Vogedes and Moccia came to an agreement that Moccia would take over the food concessions at the hotel. There was just one problem — Craparotta told Moccia that Gross had a $5,000 option for the concession that had to be bought.
In fact there was no "option." Gross said later that he thought up the idea to get some money for himself and Craparotta. Marino and Vogedes knew there was no option, but they were already under the thumb of the racketeers and said nothing.
Moccia said later that he felt pressured by the 30-day "expiration" of the option to move quickly on the opportunity, but unfortunately he lacked the liquid assets to come up with the $5,000 option payment plus the $20,000 earnest money which the hotel owners legitimately sought. The inheritance he received was mostly in real estate. Moccia was afraid that he would not be able to raise the capital in time.
Not a problem, Craparotta told him. The mobster just happened to have an uncle, Michael Leon, who operated a car dealership in Newark. Leon also happened to be a mobbed-up loanshark.
Craparotta introduced the two men and Moccia learned what dealing with a loanshark is all about. First, Leon explained that Moccia had to pay "vigorish" or "vig." Vigorish has multiple meanings in the underworld. Generally, the word which comes from Yiddish refers to the take the lender or bookie gets for his services. In some cases vigorish is comparable to a loan application fee, while at other times it means the interest one pays on the loan.
For Moccia's $17,000 request the vig was $5,000. In addition Moccia would pay $1,080 in interest (a little over 6 percent). Leon also charged 6 percent on the vigorish. For the privilege of borrowing $17,000 Moccia was expected to pay back about $23,000 in one year. In effect Moccia's Annual Percentage Rate was more than 73 percent.
The agreement called for monthly payments of $400 for 12 months with a balloon payment at the end. Normally mobsters consider the borrower's body as collateral, but in Moccia's case, the properties he inherited in Philadelphia were put up as a guarantee. Moccia said he expected to have sold the homes before the note came due.
Moccia took over the Holiday Inn restaurant in January 1967 and very soon he realized that the volume of business was far under what he expected. Lakewood is primarily a vacation community and traffic at the Holiday Inn after the summer crowd heads home was understandably light. Loansharks, however, do not care about business cycles.
"I was not aware of the fact that you really needed quite a sum of money to hold out for the year (until) the Holiday Inn expectancy figures come through," he said.
Moccia soon fell into the loanshark trap and began borrowing smaller amounts to make payroll and pay bills. He said he typically borrow $1,200 at a rate of $60 per week per thousand. That's an APR of more than 300 percent. He never seemed to make any headway, however.
"There was always some coming and some going," he said. "I would get money to pay him his vigorish on the $60 a week and on a portion of what I borrowed, and then there was another crisis or emergency.
Moccia managed to hold out for six months before the stress of his situation became too much. He had only managed to make three of the $400 payments to Leon before the mobster foreclosed on his property in Philadelphia.
"My sanity ran out in about three months," he said. "My money ran out before that, but I held on for about six months. I didn't have the money to meet my payroll any more, and it was Jimmy Craparotta was too far into me. I couldn't go to him for any more. It was endless. It was a dead end right there."
Moccia, who lost everything to the mob, told his story before the New Jersey State Commission of Investigation in 1972. At the end of his testimony he was asked why he was not afraid of mob reprisals.
"I'm a terminal cancer patient, sir," he replied.
He managed to live on for a few more years after testifying, dying in 1978.

By Eloise Carey
On Saturday 21st January 2017 I attended Durham's 'Hearing Voices' exhibition and lectures. The following article is based on the lectures I heard there, and a subsequent article written by Patricia Waugh[1].
David Mitchell described writing a novel as 'a kind of controlled personality disorder[2]'. I would argue that reading one can be too, particularly a novel as complex and layered as Woolf's Mrs Dalloway. Having first read this novel the summer I turned 16, this was undoubtedly a book for which my appreciation would only continue to grow. I will not say that my understanding has deepened, for I don't think any of Woolf's works are meant to be understood, but my awareness and awe of this incredible depth is something that was reignited by the discussion of 'hearing voices in literature'. Waugh describes Woolf as "perennially fascinating from a vast spectrum of angles." Although it is impossible to segregate this formidable author into categories, it may help in addressing the great expanse of different people, authors, and generations that she has touched.
Woolf as a pioneer in literature
As Waugh highlighted in her lecture, although perverse and upsetting in some aspects, lingering on the darker details of Woolf's childhood trauma and later psychosis is to be in danger of destroying the independence of her work. Woolf is not an author who leant heavily on anything, be that other writers or those closest to her within the 'Bloomsbury Group[3]'; she was quite alone in her creative experimentation and exploration. Even her beloved husband Leonard was quite disassociated from Woolf's literary persona, she did, in fact, herself once state 'one might walk hand in hand without ever marrying[4]'. Although she did eventually marry, this musing seems to indicate that Woolf viewed herself, perhaps slightly arrogantly, perhaps wistfully, as quite apart from even those like-minded intellectuals surrounding her.
This isolation has been argued by some literary critics to have been her greatest although most destructive state of mind. It was in these moments of extreme loneliness that Woolf began to create Mrs Dalloway. Fiction became incredibly experimental for Woolf in this time, she wasn't so much creating a world as projecting the one she lived in already. In fact, the originality of her work was not in setting, characters or even description but in the structure of her writing. Her use of the literary mechanism of 'double-voicing' and layers of narrative through the splitting of consciousness is eerie to a reader, you feel constantly a couple of steps behind the present, overwhelmed by the spectacle of an ordinary day. This is not dissimilar to the sensation Woolf herself experienced, describing the voices of her characters 'flying ahead of her like birds'. The fact she captured this emotional response in her writing and pass it on to the reader is demonstrative of supreme talent.
It is arguably Woolf's isolation from the constraints of polite conversation in her own world that allowed the freedom of discourse Mrs Dalloway and her other work, not attributable to any character nor attached to a human embodiment. The time Woolf spent in her own head is clear through the chaotic yet rhythmic structures of her work, she refused to be tied down by expectations of other writers of the time or the demands of 'real time'. In spending so much time alone Woolf understood that it is much more terrifying when a voice has no source, and time no pattern, stopping and starting, moments repeating with different voices narrating. This style creates a sense of déjà vu and entrapment in one moment before suddenly flying through the next. This she conveyed in every page of her writing, it is almost porous, and voices seep out under every line until you are unsure who or what is narrating the scene.
Isolation leading to madness
Another particular theme expounded upon was that of ontological pluralism; the idea that we are all constantly shifting between several versions of reality. It common that creative intellects, so engrossed in their work that it became all-consuming, might struggle to make distinctions between these layers of reality. Many authors say that their characters sometimes become uncannily real. For Woolf, the creative process was even more intense than this, she often lost temporal grounding and a sense of which reality was hers. In describing her own bouts of creativity and those of her characters (for example in To the Lighthouse), there is a clear desperation to keep the ordinary world within grasp, peppered with frequent descriptions of sinking and difficulties in converting time and space. This has been identified by psychiatrists as describing the brink of psychosis, and Woolf would often become lost in 'the waters of annihilation' and a 'queer state[5]'. Although not religious, there are repeated mentions in her diaries of this creative place as 'sacred' and vast, 'like a Cathedral'. This is not unlike the ordinary reader becoming lost in their imaginations for a brief second, but one hundredfold.
Woolf's work is so real and intense because, at the time of writing it was her primary ontology, her only reality was Clarissa crossing the road[6], and although she shifts easily between narratives and characters in her writing, it became more and more difficult to pull back out of the waters to her writing desk. It is easy to understand therefore why some of Woolf's most beautiful work was created in the depths of her mania. Her madness and her writing ought to be separated so one does not eclipse the other, but the reader need also understand that they were irrevocably intertwined.
Woolf as a feminist
As well as creating an entirely new literary technique, Woolf has been held up as a feminist icon. She was well-accustomed to the expectations of women of her status, and even though she largely rejected these ideals; we see reflected in Clarissa some of the hardships of being a woman. Woolf could not help but portray some of the agonising loneliness of female post-war grief that settled over London like a heavy mist in those years. Jubilation that the war had been won seemed constantly shadowed in Mrs Dalloway and in Woolf's own life, tainted by a darkness that no dared to put their finger on for fear of being engulfed like the poor Septimus Smith.
Despite her heralding as a feminist powerhouse through her essays 'A Room of One's Own[7]' and other writings, Woolf's work exposed a vulnerability in her to the Draconian views that still held England in their grip. Throughout Mrs Dalloway, Big Ben's chimes act as an inescapable reminder of male supremacy, a phallic embodiment of patriarchy that continued to lord over even the liberal sections of society. No matter how much she attempted to break out of the 'domestic phantom of femininity rendering women incapable of hearing their own voices', Woolf's exploration of voice in her books always holds a powerful and menacing male narrative, such as the imposing Sir William Bradshaw[8].
Woolf did, however, recognise that viewing women with only one definition, and being capable of thought and intellect at only on the most superficial level was damaging – she wrote that expressing the self as one voice was a vehicle of oppression. At least in this way Woolf rebelled, the complexity of narrative in her novels through streams of consciousness refused to allow her female characters to be trapped in a two-dimensional description.
Despite this quiet power of her female characters, however, Woolf was painfully vulnerable to the expectations impressed upon her. She admits in her diaries that her first bouts of psychosis were attributable to voices she heard manifested in the guilt at over-eating during her bedrest. The fact that concerns with how she looked dominated the mind of one of the most talented and seemingly disinterested of feminists at the time shows the pervasiveness society's norms. The male doctors in her novels haunted Woolf in her bedchamber when she was illest, and are always portrayed as quite monstrous and cold, machines of proportion. She often mused 'who shall measure the heat and violence of the poet's heart when caught and tangled in a woman's body?' and lamented the more difficult pathway of female authors and artists of the time.
There is no succinct nor satisfying conclusion I could draw about Virginia Woolf. It would do her a injustice to attempt to do so. She was a many-faceted woman, in my own view first and foremost an author, for it was to her craft that she ultimately surrendered everything. In her suicide note to Leonard Virginia submits 'I begin to hear voices[9]'. It is fitting that in penning her goodbye, even in insanity, Virginia was poetically circular. It was voices in her head that first inspired her to write, and voices that carried her away again, out of temporal reality, and into the dark waters.
