If this is a steel-to-steel connection and you are using bolts with countersunk heads, this is not a conventional bolted joint. I don't know the source, but there must be test data on the strength of the countersunk connection. I can imagine that pull-through of the head may limit the capacity of this kind of connection.

Seems the video was converted and the menu music persists through the video now and is a bit distracting.
the music is a little bit too loud, but nice video
I really love this animation, and have remembered it now even years after watching it! Such a great newgrounds classic. Just a note: I'm having trouble hearing the dialogue in this version because the background music is extremely loud. It wasn't like this in the past and I"m not sure if its because of Newgrounds updates or not, but just a note, since I've seen others have had the same problem!
Quit the drugs Johnny, it's effecting your hearing.

Hacked By Imam
Palau: Olkeriil "O" Kazuo | 680-488-3106 | firstname.lastname@example.com
Pew: Andrea Risotto | 202-540-6510 | firstname.lastname@example.com
Koror, Palau (October 22, 2015) – The Palau Congress today approved the Palau National Marine Sanctuary Act, which will establish one of the world's largest protected areas of ocean in the Pacific island nation's waters. President Tommy E. Remengesau Jr. said he would sign the measure into law as early as Monday as Friday is a national holiday in Palau.
"Today is a historic day for Palau, proving that a small island nation can have a big impact on the ocean," President Remengesau said.
"Island communities have been among the hardest hit by the threats facing the ocean," he continued. "Creating this sanctuary is a bold move that the people of Palau recognize as essential to our survival. We want to lead the way in restoring the health of the ocean for future generations."
"The Palau National Marine Sanctuary will help build a secure future for the Palauan people by honoring the conservation traditions of our past," said Senator Hokkons Baules, lead sponsor of the Palau National Marine Sanctuary Act.
Often cited as an "underwater wonder of the world," the ocean that surrounds Palau boasts remarkably healthy marine ecosystems that are home to more than 1,300 species of fish and 700 species of coral.
The legislation creating the sanctuary designates 80 percent of the nation's maritime territory as a fully protected marine reserve in which no extractive activities, such as fishing or mining, can take place. At 500,000 square kilometers (193,000 square miles), or slightly larger than the U.S. state of California, the sanctuary becomes the sixth-largest fully protected marine area in the world.
About 20 percent of Palau's waters will become a domestic fishing zone reserved for local fishermen and small-scale commercial fisheries with limited exports. This transformation of Palau's exclusive economic zone (EEZ) will take place over a five-year period, during which the number of licenses sold to foreign commercial vessels will be decreased annually. The nation's coastal waters, an area of 12 nautical miles around each of the 250 islands, will continue to be managed by Palau's 16 states.
"In its 20-year history as an independent nation, Palau has developed a remarkable conservation legacy, including creation of the world's first shark sanctuary in 2009," said Joshua S. Reichert, who leads environment initiatives at The Pew Charitable Trusts. Pew provided technical support for establishment of both the shark sanctuary and the Palau National Marine Sanctuary. "Palau's decision is an acknowledgment of the intensely close relationship between the Palauan people and the ocean that surrounds them, a relationship often expressed as 'Palau is ocean and ocean is Palau.' "
The marine sanctuary law also strengthens efforts to prevent illegal fishing by significantly tightening rules for vessels passing through Palau's waters. It requires expeditious passage of nonlicensed fishing boats through the EEZ, appropriate vessel monitoring systems (VMS) on all ships, stowage of fishing gear, and stronger reporting requirements. Establishing the sanctuary also will make it easier to identify and stop poaching because the restrictions on commercial activity simplify detection.
Palau, in collaboration with Pew and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, is working with maritime enforcement experts from around the world to finalize a strong enforcement plan for the new sanctuary.
"Every visitor to Palau is struck by its remarkable marine ecosystems," said Seth Horstmeyer, a director of Pew's Global Ocean Legacy (GOL) project, which is working to create the world's first generation of great parks in the sea. "Creation of this sanctuary conserves one of the most spectacular ocean environments on Earth."
President Remengesau invited Pew to Palau in 2013 to help establish a large marine reserve. For the past two years, GOL staff members have worked closely with the President's Office, the Palau National Congress or Olbiil Era Kelulau, local communities, and fishermen to provide technical assistance, public education, and a consultation process that involved broad participation by the island's population regarding the sanctuary proposal.
Support for the marine sanctuary is strong throughout Palau and comes from the Rubekul Belau or Council of Chiefs, the State Speakers Association, all 16 state legislatures, the Governors Association, the Belau Tourism Association, the Palau Chamber of Commerce, the Palau Community Action Agency, and more than 7,000 Palauans who have endorsed it via petition.
In 2015, Global Ocean Legacy has supported efforts that have led to government commitments to protect over 2.5 million square kilometers of ocean. In March, the British government announced its intention to establish the Pitcairn Islands Marine Reserve in the South Pacific. On Sept. 28, New Zealand Prime Minister John Key announced plans for a fully protected ocean sanctuary in the Kermadecs, about 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) northeast of his country's North Island. And on Oct. 5, at an international ocean conference in Chile, Chilean President Michelle Bachelet pledged to work with the indigenous Rapa Nui community of Easter Island to adopt its proposal to create a fully protected marine park.

A room of one's own
Every time you buy a pirated book, you disrespect its author.
Oxford Bookstore
Art director: Sandip Gaikwad
Copywriter: Srinivas Murthy
Photographer: Sandip
well, it is a desperate problem in India - tons of pirated books are sold by street urchins at signals for a quarter of the price. I bought one (purely in the interests of research, you understand) some time back - Salman Rushdie's Shalimar the Clown. It says - I am not kidding - 'Shalimar Rushdie' on the spine. Think these boys picked up the same book (also for research, I'm sure) and an idea was born.
You know, I gotta agree with you there.
Using words like "vagina" and "dickhead" to refer to these legends, it's kinda tasteless. Although that may be the whole point of the campaign, I'm sure there are other more sophisticated (for lack of a better word) ways to get across the same message... "Dan Clown" is probably the most palatable of the group. It says the author is "being made a fool of" without them resorting to using more derogatory words... Lucky him not having last name like "Hunt", for instance.
"Is there a Mike Hunt in the room? Mike Hunt?" (My uncle told me this when I was a little kid. Go figure!)
I'm sensing "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexander Dumbass would be the next ad...
I've never heard of pirated books. Do they wear monicles instead of hats?

Entry Title: "Morning in Saint Julian, Malta"
Name: Andrey Omelyanchuk , Russian Federation
Category and Expertise: Cityscapes|Night Photography, Non-Professional
Entry Description: In January I had a short trip to Malta and stayed there in Juliany Hotel in Saint Julian. There was a nice swimming pool at the roof top of the hotel with the stunning view on Saint Julien and Spinola Bay. One morning I got there with my camera, tripod and pano head and captured panorama of Saint Julian and Spinola Bay. I used long shutter speed to record traffic lights trails to emphasise Spinola Bay curvy forms.
I am project manager in software development company Parallels. At Parallels I am working on such cool products as Parallels Desktop for Mac and Parallels Access.
Also I am city skyline and landscape photographer. I fell in love with photography when I bought my first digital camera Canon 5d Mark II back in 2011. I love to travel and discover cities and landscapes through the lens of my camera. I am always exited about history of our civilization and I am trying to show historical depth and unity of ancient and modern cultural layers in my urban photos. I love different weather conditions such as rain, storm, fog, snow for its ability to miraculously change the mood of the city and bring out wonderful light.

Fireplace in the bathroom
I'm a follower of bathrooms with a fireplace. If my bathroom were big enough I would definitely install a fireplace to look at the soothing fire while soaking in my tub at the end of a busy day enjoying a glass of wine. I can't think of a better way to unwind after a hectic day.

The origin of the Decorator
ornemaniste was also an engraver who was able to facilitate his client with a vision of a final result through the medium of engraving. The Ornameniste Abbe Jaubert once wrote "To excel in this art, which has been born before our eyes, it is necessary to have a good eye, to have a good knowledge of design, to understand perfectly the merits of each piece of furniture, to show them in their true light, and to create an ensemble that will give pleasing impression".

An unconventional beach house
Kelly Wearstler did it again. This time in a non-predictable beach house she designed for her family. "Ain't no boats sailing in this house" Every item and piece is a sculpture of its own. Many of them custom designed by Wearstler. I know this is not a house that it would be appealing to many people. Maybe because of being afraid of it's new and surprising design. That's exactly the reason I like it. I love it when designers proof that not everything is done and not everything is made equal in design.
I absolutely love the inter lacking design of this sculptural staircase. Clever, the way Wearstler made of an often useless space into something stunning. Would you guess this is bleached-walnut?

My most recent project
I wanted to share with you a few images of my most recent project. I finished it last week and had it professionally photographed by Robert Levin for my up-coming website. My sweet client and myself are very pleased with the result. Ms. Whiton moved into this small pre-war rental apartment a few months ago and she wanted to make it feel hers as much as possible. Similar to many other pre-war apartments this one was lacking light so we decided to keep it as open, airy and clean as possible. This also served well for the extensive art collection to shine on its own. When I came to this apartment a few months ago there was only an old sofa and plenty of art resting on the walls. The sofa has been under Ms. Whiton's possession for quit a while now but it was in need of a complete re-do. I chose a neutral tone of damask fabric and added a few pillows in different textures to add some character. The curtains were done in gorgeous stripes that bring out the colors in the pillows and in the sofa. The two chairs are from ABC Carpet in New York. To make the light in the room multiply I painted the mahogany fireplace in white and added a layer of mirror around the inside. The dining room opens up from the living room but we wanted to make it look separate so we wallpapered the walls in Acapulco Sand. I had an inlay console custom made in a long but narrow shape in order for the space to be functional but not crowded. The magnificent sconces are from Lerebours Antiques. Once I saw them I knew they would be perfect for the sophisticated tropical ambiance we wanted for the dining room. Hence the beautiful Louis XVI-style caned chairs. The cowhide rugs used in both rooms are also from ABC Carpet. (you can click on the pictures to see them better)

iffr: rhino season
A fitting start of the International Film Festival Rotterdam with Bahman Ghobadi's new film 'Rhino Season', a dark and haunting tragedy based on the life of Kurdish poet Sadegh Kamangar, who was imprisoned for almost 30 years following Iran's Islamic Revolution.
An IFFR favorite for years, most of Ghobadi's films have been spotlighted on this blog - 'Turtles Can Fly' (which won the audience award in 2005), 'Half Moon', 'No One Knows About Persian Cats'. With 'Rhino Season' he has clearly moved to a new stage in world cinema: Martin Scorsese "presents" the film and Monica Bellucci (who is carefully never shown speaking) stars in it alongside legendary Iranian actor Behrouz Vossoughi.
The film is also on a more epic scale compared to his earlier films. From the mine-pocked borderlands of Kurdistan and the underground music scene of Tehran, Ghobadi has now entered the Kurdish diaspora - 'Rhino Season' was made in Turkey and its story spans between 1970s Tehran, before and during the Revolution, and modern-day Istanbul.
Its complex story combines a love tragedy and political thriller, somewhat in the vein of 'Incendies' but told in Ghobadi's distinctly lyrical style and using symbols familiar from his earlier films – in one scene, turtles rain from the sky.
Stylistically this is indeed Ghobadi's most impressive film yet, weaving past and present together with stunning imagery focusing on textures and reflections, tortured bare branches, marching revolutionaries blending into snowflakes and grooved faces emerging from darkness. But the downside of this visual richness is that the core of the film, the love of the Kurdish poet and his wife that is sadistically thwarted by the Iranian regime, remains emotionally rather flat.
It doesn't help that the excerpts of Kamangar's poetry we hear in voice-over often sound oblique – though this could also be a translation problem. (Unfortunately none of his poems appear online in English.)
Yet as an introduction to Ghobadi's work and its overarching humanist theme of lending a voice to the plight of the Kurdish people, 'Rhino Season' is certainly recommended.
Here's the trailer.

Cham lies within the Cham-Further lowland, which is bordered on the south by the Bavarian Forest and on the north by the Oberpfälzer Wald. The city lies on the Regen River, which joins the Danube at Regensburg.
The name "Cham" is of Celtic origin and probably means "bend" or "curvature". In fact, a few kilometers from the city, a winding brook called the Chamb flows into the Regen; it probably gave its name to Cham, the first settlement at the bend of the larger river. Alternatively, the name may have derived from Kamm . The city's coat of arms contains a comb. A partner city, also called "Cham" in Switzerland, is actually pronounced with an initial "ch" sound, whereas Bavarian Cham is pronounced with a /k/.

Loose cannon:
His own staunch supporters whisper that their man Friday is increasingly becoming edgy and a day is not far when he will start shooting his uncontrollable big mouth. As of now he has refrained from taking a potshot at the number one and has chosen to chastise the defenceless Babus. Soon enough he would be audible enough to lambast the number one – the position he would like himself to be adorned with.
Surgical IT Strike:
Income Tax department is learnt to have raided a consultancy firm in Garacharama recently. Grapevine has it that a huge undisclosed income has been recovered in the raid. Earlier last month, IT raids had been conducted on two prominent jewelers in Port Blair. The IT department had warned the big business houses and others to disclose their incomes before the last date of 30th September to take benefit of the disclosure scheme launched by the GoI. Now when the last date is over, the IT department has launched the punitive raids against all those who have missed the bus.
Tobacco Tumble:
A pro-tobacco lobby seems to be actively canvassing to somehow get the ban imposed by the A&N Administration on consumption and sale of chewable tobacco products withdrawn. A variety of arguments is given in support of the tobacco traders. The support extended by a senior leader of the saffron hue to the tobacco traders seems to have left the UT big guns jittery. Tobacco sellers and consumers are keeping their fingers crossed.
Andaman Fever:
Diglipur is reported to be in the grip of Andaman fever. Increasing number of the dreaded disease are known to be reported at medical facilities. The health department honchos are still unaware of the lurking danger.

A "Dynamic" Firewall Jon Hillier Oxford University/ eScience Centre
Why? Globus Port Usage Site-wide Firewall too lax Static firewall with fixed list of rules too unwieldy in large Grid Certificate only method of authentication
How? Single gatekeeper (2119/tcp) port open to all on gatekeeper machine Daemon watches standard Globus log file Success of an incoming Globus "ping" is shown in the log file Originators IP address also shown in the log file
How? 2 If "ping" successful then daemon adds relevant rules to firewall (IPTables or IPchains) "ping" success depends on the validity of the certificate and the ability of the user to actually access the gatekeeper After a sys-admin specified time the firewall rules time out and access is once again denied
Pro's Easy to install – requires no modification of Globus Uses certificates as a method of authentication Allows access from any IP address Times out so that IP addresses aren't permanently allowed access Permits any changes to the firewall, on top of current firewall settings
Con's Software firewall needs to run on the gatekeeper – slowing the system Remote changes to any firewall are not popular Ideally would use a program such as IPFilter which has better table controls Firewall at remote institution must be amenable to Globus connections (this may be part of the demonstration!)
Conclusions Good proof of concept Dynamic control of ports in a Globus 2- based environment is useful Slow network bandwidth and root changes to security-critical services are not desirable Possibly viable on an emergency "backup" gatekeeper for unforeseen remote access

This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 476,831 filed June 6, 1974, now abandoned.
A positive resist system in use today is composed of a base soluble polymer such as phenol-formaldehyde novolak resin and a photoactive compound containing diazo and keto groups at adjacent positions on the molecule. Such sensitizers and resists are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,046,118; 3,046,121; 3,106,465; 3,201,239 and 3,666,473 which are hereby incorporated by reference. Exposure of the sensitizer is believed to convert the diazo keto configuration into a carboxyl group which, along with the hydroxyl groups of the novolak resin, causes the exposed material to be soluble in an alkaline solution. Negative resists, on the other hand, generally consist of a polymer with small amounts of a sensitizer which initiates cross-linking of the polymer upon exposure. The exposed material then becomes less readily soluble in developer solutions which are usually organic solvents. The two types of resists, therefore have been of necessity very different from each other in properties and behavior.
A procedure has now been found which permits the base soluble resin-diazo ketone resist to be processed in the negative as well as the positive mode. The procedure also permits modification of the positive mode process to obtain resist profile changes which are advantageous in metal lift-off processing.
In accordance with the invention there is provided a photoresist process which includes the steps of providing a substrate with a layer of a light sensitive resist material which includes a base soluble resin and a diazo ketone sensitizer. The layer is exposed imagewise to radiation which will convert the diazo ketone to a base soluble form in the exposed portions of the layer. Following the exposure, the layer is treated with hydrogen ion. A relief image is developed to expose part of the surface of the substrate by removing portions of the resist layer with an alkaline developer solution.
In one aspect of the invention the entire resist layer is blanket exposed following the acid treatment to convert the previously unexposed portions to a base soluble form. The acid treatment renders the initially exposed portions less readily soluble in base and development of the layer results in a negative relief image.
In a second aspect of the invention, the development of the resist layer following the acid treatment, results in a steeper or undercut positive resist image profile which is advantageous for metal lift-off processing.
The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following more particular description of preferred embodiments of the invention.
The positive resists which are useful in the process of the invention include an alkali soluble resin. Examples of such resins are prepolymerized phenol-formaldehyde resins which can be prepared by the acid or base catalyzed condensation of formaldehyde with an excess of a phenol having the formula ##STR1## where (A) and (B) are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and alkyl groups containing one to six carbon atoms.
Suitable sensitizers are diazo ketones having diazo and keto groups at adjacent positions on the molecule, such as the naphthoquinone-(1,2)-diazide sulfonic acid esters which are described in the above-referenced patents. Examples are described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,201,239 which have the general formula ##STR2## in which R1 is a naphthoquinone-(1,2)-diazide radical, R2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and hydroxyl, and R3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, alkoxy, aryloxy, amino, and heterocyclic groups. Examples are also described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,046,118, which have the general formula; ##STR3## in which X and X1 are N2 or O, those attached to the same ring being different, and Y is an organic linkage containing at least one arylene, substituted arylene or heterocyclic radical; U.S. Pat. No. 3,046,121, which have the general formula; ##STR4## in which X and X1 are selected from the group consisting of N2 and O and are different. Y is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and halogen and R is a substituted or unsubstituted aryl or heterocyclic radical: and U.S. Pat. No. 3,106,465 which have one of the general formulae; ##STR5## wherein D stands for a naphthoquinone-(1,2)-diazide radical, X stands for a member selected from the group consisting of H and OH. R stands for a member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, OR1, NR2 R3, alkyl-, aryl- and heterocyclic radicals, R1 stands for a member of the group consisting of alkyl and aryl, R2 and R3 stand for a member of the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl and aryl, R2 equalling R3 or being different from R3. Examples of such compounds are the 2,3,4-trihydroxybenzophenone esters of 1-oxo-2-naphthalene-5-sulfonic acid. The sensitizers are conventionally employed in amounts of from about 12 to 30% by weight of the resin components of the resist formulation.
The resist components are dissolved in an organic solvent or solvent mixture so that the resist can be coated as thin layers on various substrates. Suitable solvents include, for example, ethers, esters, and ketones such as methyl or ethyl cellosolve acetate, with or without minor amounts of butyl acetate and xylene; glycol monomethyl ether, glycol monoethyl ether; and aliphatic ketones such as methyl isobutyl ketone and acetone. The solids content of the resist solutions conventionally ranges from about 10 to 40% by weight.
According to conventional procedure, when the resist layer is exposed to actinic light, some of the sensitizer is converted from a base insoluble to a base soluble form. The adjacent diazo ketone groups are believed to form a carboxyl group which makes the exposed sensitizer molecules base soluble. A posative relief image is developed by treating the resist layer with an alkaline solution such as either an aqueous solution of a mixture of sodium metal silicate, sodium phosphate and sodium ortho phosphate or dilute NaOH which solutions preferentially remove the exposed portions of the layer.
According to the process of the invention, the exposed portions of the resist layer are converted to a form where they are again less readily soluble in base. This is accomplished by treating the layer with a solution containing hydrogen ion which acts to decarboxylate the exposed sensitizer molecules. Mildly acidic solutions have been found to be useful in accomplishing the change in solubility. For example, dilute aqueous mineral acid solutions such as HCl and H2 SO4.
The aspect of the invention in which the normally positive resist is developed in the negative mode starts with applying the resist to a substrate and prebaking in a conventional layer. The resist is then exposed patternwise to actinic radiation to an extent sufficient to convert a major portion of the sensitizer to a base soluble form. This is generally somewhat greater than normal exposure and preferably the exposure is chosen on the high side to assure sufficient conversion of the sensitizer. The substrate with its exposed resist film is then dipped into a hot, mildly acidic solution such as dilute sulfuric or hydrochloric acid. Concentrations of from about 2-10 moles/liter of H+ ion have been successfully employed but this range should not be regarded as being restrictive. Following the acid treatment, the resist layer is re-exposed without masking to the same or greater extent as the first exposure. The resin coated substrate is then immersed in the conventional, mildly alkaline developing solution until the pattern in the resist layer is developed. Because the acid treatment has reduced the base solubility of the originally exposed areas, these areas remain intact. The originally unexposed areas, which were unaffected by the acid treatment, were converted to alkaline solubility during the second exposure such that these areas are preferentially removed by base. A negative image results.
The above procedure is further illustrated by, but is not intended to be limited to, the following Examples wherein parts are parts by weight unless otherwise indicated.
A thermally oxidized silicon substrate, having about an 11,000 A thick oxide layer, is coated with a layer of photoresist about 8,000 A thick by spinning at 4,000 rmp. The resist contains about 31 percent by weight solids of which about 75% is a cresol-formaldehyde novolak resin and about 25% is a diazo-ketone sensitizer which is the 1-oxo-2-diazo-naphthalene-5-sulfonic acid ester of 2,3,4-trihydroxybenzophenone. The resist solvent is a mixture of about 80 percent cellosolve acetate, 10 percent n-butyl acetate and 10 percent xylene. Three parts of resist solution are diluted with an additional part of solvent before spinning on the substrate. The coated resist layer is then baked for about 15 minutes on a hotplate at a temperature of about 85� C. The prebaked resist layer is then exposed through a pattern mask to a source of actinic radiation for 60 seconds with the source having a power of 9 milliwatts/cm2 over the wavelength range 4075 � 750 A. The substrate is then dipped for four minutes in aqueous HCl (37% HCl diluted 1 part acid and 4 parts water) at a temperature of about 90� C. The substrate is then rinsed in deionized water, air dried and baked at about 85� C for 30 minutes. The resist layer is then re-exposed without a mask (blanket exposure) for 60 seconds to the 9mw/cm2 light source. The resist layer is developed for about 10 seconds in a conventional aqueous alkaline developer solution which has a pH of about 12.8 and which contains about 2.5% by weight of a mixture of sodium meta-silicate, sodium ortho phosphate and sodium hydrogen phosphate. The developed resist layer is then rinsed in deionized water and dried. The originally unexposed portions of the layer are removed by the development to produce a negative resist image.
When the patterned resist layer is processed by the blanket evaporation of a metal such as aluminum followed by removal of the resist and overlying metal to leave a patterned layer of aluminum adhered to the substrate (lift-off process) excellent results are obtained. This is believed to be due to a resist edge profile which is steeper than normal or even undercut by using the process of the invention.
A negative resist pattern was obtained, with little or no loss of resist thickness in the retained portions, by repeating the process of Example 1 except that the acid treatment was carried out using a dilute H2 SO4 solution, which was 20% by volume concentrated H2 SO3 in water, for four minutes at about 90� C.
The following example illustrates the process of the invention in which improved resist profiles for lift-off processing are obtained in positive image development.
Silicon wafers were oxidized to obtain about 11,000 A of thermal SiO2. The wafers were first vapor coated with a layer of the adhesion promoter, hexamethyldisilazine and coated with a layer of positive resist as described in Example 1. The resist layers were baked for 15 minutes at about 85� C and exposed through a pattern mask for 8 seconds to the 9mw/cm2 light source. A number of wafers were subjected to treatment in 20% by volume H2 SO4 at a temperature of about 90� C for from 2-3 minutes. The remaining wafers served as a control. The acid treated wafers were developed for from one to three minutes in an alkaline developer containing about twice the solids content of the developer used in Example 1. The remaining control wafers were developed in the developer for 45 seconds. The patterned resist thickness was about 8,000 A.
An acid treated and a control wafer were placed in an evaporator and each was coated with a 4,000 A thick layer of aluminum. Other metals or alloys having good conductivity could also be used. The wafers were then placed in acetone to remove the resist and overlying metal portions. Low magnification views of sites on each wafer were made and examined. It was noted that some apparent lift-off occurred in the control sample but only at the expense of adhesion failure of the aluminum and removal of areas where the aluminum was in contact with the substrate surface. The acid treated sample, on the other hand, appears to give an excellent pattern. The difference in lift-off results is not precisely understood but it is believed to be due to a favorable modification of the resist profile. The acid treatment is believed to create a gradient of decarboxylation through the pattern-exposed resist layer. Upon development of the resist layer, the rate of solubility increases with depth so that lateral development proceeds more quickly nearer the substrate to give a steeper or even an undercut relief profile.
The process of the invention permits a single resist to be used in both the positive and negative modes depending upon the optimum mode for any given application. For example, in typical integrated circuit manufacturing operations such as etching contact holes through insulating oxide layers, it is desirable to avoid the effects of pinholes in the opaque areas of the exposure masks. In this case, the resist can be used in the negative mode, because the pinholes will occur in the areas to be opened and will not effect the insulating ability of the oxide. On the other hand, for sub-etching metal lines, the resist can be used in the conventional positive mode to place pinholes in the mask over areas of metal to be left, rather than between lines, where shorts due to bridging could occur.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing and other changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

As the market for new and resale homes continued its sluggish streak in many areas of the country, consumer demand for apartments grew for the 15th consecutive quarter, according to a recent survey. The multifamily housing sector's strong conditions continue to attract equity investors with the availability of equity capital for apartments also rising for the 15th consecutive quarter, according to the National Multi Housing Council's April quarterly survey. "The apartment markets continue to enjoy largely favorable conditions," noted NMHC Chief Economist Mark Obrinsky. "Although both owners and managers are well aware of the 'shadow rental market' -- condos and single-family homes originally intended for sale but being rented out instead -- any supply spillover from the for-sale market has so far not exceeded the growing demand for apartment residences." One-third of respondents said that occupancy rates and/or rents rose during the first quarter of the year. As a result, the survey's ...

[57] ABSTRACT A stand for holding an opened cookbook in upright readable position behind a transparent front panel which protects the book from cooking splatters. The front panel is supported in an inclined position by a pair of spaced hingedly mounted brackets. The brackets have upwardly extending wing members which are spaced rearwardly from the front panel by leg members. The leg members extend horizontally from the wing members and are connected to the front panel by hinges for movement of the brackets between open and folded positions. The leg and wing members support the bottom edge and back, respectively, of an opened book which may be inserted between the front panel and wing members when the brackets are in open position, to maintain the book in a slanted upright position for easy reading through the transparent front panel.
7 Claims, 8 Drawing Figures COOKBOOK STAND CONSTRUCTION BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The invention relates to a bookstand and in particular to a stand for holding a cookbook in readable position behind a protective splatter-proof transparent front panel. The stand has a pair of hinged brackets which support a cookbook behind the front panel and which are foldable to provide convenient storage and assembly of the stand.
2. Description of the Prior Art There are numerous stands for supporting books in open readable position which permit the readers hands to be free for other purposes. Many such stands have a shelf or platform extending outwardly from the bottom of a slanted back for supporting a book and permitting the book pages to be turned when necessary.
Many housewives and cooks prepare some meals and certain foods with the aid of recipe in a cookbook. It is desirable to support the cookbook in open readable position so that the cooks hands are free to prepare the food. Cookbooks supported on usual bookstands become soiled and smeared from food splatters after repeated usage.
It is desirable therefore to provide a stand construction which holds a cookbook in open readable position and which protects the book from food splatters.
One such cookbook stand which has been constructed to eliminate this splattering problem is made of clear plastic material and formed into a general sinusoidal-shape. The cookbook is inserted between the vertical extending curved portions and thus is protected from splattering. Such a construction, however, is extremely bulky and difficult to store by the housewife in the kitchen where cabinet space usually is at a minimum.
No other bookstand construction of which I am aware has provided a stand for supporting a cookbook behind a splatter-proof shield which may be folded into a compact unit for shipment and storage, which is of a simple and inexpensive construction and which eliminates the problems with known prior structures.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION clined position and supporting a book in open readable book and which cooperate with the weight of the inserted book to maintain the brackets in proper support,- ing position; providing a cookbook stand which is formed of inexpensive, sturdy and durable transparent plastic, and which can be washed and maintained easily in sanitary condition; providing a cookbook stand which when stored can be hung on a wall and used to display a decorative picture enabling the stand to be compatible with the decor of the kitchen; and providing a cookbook stand which solves problems of prior structures in a simple, convenient and inexpensive manner.
These objectives and advantages are obtained by the cookbook stand construction, the general nature of which may be stated as including front panel means having a rear surface and being formed of a transparent material; a pair of spaced bracket means comprising wing means and leg means, the leg means extending horizontally forwardly from the wing means; hinge means connecting the bracket means to the front panel means rear surface for movement of the bracket means between open and folded positions and for supporting the panel means in generally upright position; the hinge means include a pair of spaced bosses formed on the panel means rear surface, a boss formed on the forward end of each bracket leg means, and pin means pivotally connecting each panel means boss to a bracket leg means boss; the bracket means forming a channel-like opening between the front panel means rear surface and the wing means when the bracket means are in open position, for receiving an opened book inserted into the opening; the leg means having top edges which support the bottom of a book and the wing means having forward edges which support the back of a book, with the opened book being readable through the transparent front panel means; and stop means formed on the bracket leg means engageable with the front panel means rear surface limiting movement of the bracket means toward open position.

FIG. 8 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view taken on line 8-8, FIG. 2, showing the bracket hinge in fully open position (solid lines) and in partially folded position (dot-dash lines).
Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the drawing.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The cookbook stand, indicated generally at 1 (FIG. I), includes a front panel or shield 2, supported in an upright rearwardly inclined position by a pair of spaced brackets 3 and 4. A usual cookbook 5 is shown in dotdash lines supported by brackets 3 and 4 in open position behind panel 2.
Panel 2 preferably is shaped rectangularly, and is formed of transparent material such as acrylonitrile plastic. Panel 2 has front and rear surfaces 6 and 7, respectively, and upper and lower edges 6 and 9, respectively.
Brackets 3 and 4 are similar to each other, and each includes a wing member lit) and a leg member H extending horizontally forwardly from wing lit). Brackets 3 and 4 may be molded of plastic material similar to panel 2 with leg members 11 formed integral with wing members 10.
Wings may be triangularly shaped, as shown in FIG. 2, and have sloped front edges 12 and bottom edges 13, with front edges 12 being generally parallel to front panel 2. Bottom edges 13 together with bottom edges 14 of legs it support stand l on a kitchen counter top 15 or other level surface.
The top edges 16 of legs 11 together with front edges 12 of Wings 10 form a cradle-like support for holding book 5 in open, upright readable position behind panel 2. Top edges 16 support the bottom of book 5, and the front edges 12 of wings 10 support the back portion of book 5, maintaining book 5 in the desired angle for easy reading.
Bosses 17 are formed at the forward ends of legs 11 and extend upwardly rearwardly having a slope generally parallel to that of front edges 12 of Wings 10. A bore 18 is formed in each boss 17 and a protruding hinge pin 19 is fixed in bore 18.
A pair of spaced bosses 20 are formed integrally on the rear surface 7 of panel 2 spaced a short distance upwardly from lower panel edge 9. Hinge pins 19 extend into bores 21 formed in bosses 20, pivotally mounting brackets 3 and 4 on front panel 2. Pins 19 preferably are assembled with a force-fit in bores 21 so that they are rotatable with respect to bosses 26, yet have sufficient frictional engagement with bosses 26 to be held therein. Likewise, pins 19 may be fixed in bosses 20 and rotatably mounted within leg bosses 17 to form the hinge means.
Bosses 20 have rounded domed tops 22 so that a book 5 when inserted into the channel-like opening 23 formed between wings l0 and panel 2 (FIG. 2), will slide easily over bosses 26 onto top edges 16 of legs l l.
Leg bosses 17 (FIG. 8) each have a rounded portion 24 which tapers into front and rear straight portions 25 and 26, respectively. A straight side 27 extends between portions 25 and 26, and forms a sharp corner 28 at the junction with front portion 25.
Rounded portions 24 together with tapered front portions 25 permit brackets 3 and 4 to be pivoted inwardly toward each other (Arrow A, FIG. 8) and moved to folded position, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. Tapered portions 25 and corners 28 form stops engageable with panel rear surface 7 which prevent brackets 3 and 4 from swinging beyond the open position shown.
An important feature of the invention is the movement of brackets 3 and 4 from the open, book supporting position shown in FIGS. 1-4, to the compact forward position shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. In folded position, brackets 3 and 4 are folded one on top of the other, with the bottommost wing llt) resting partly against rear surface 7 of panel 2 (FIG. 6). Overlapping Wings 10 are located generally in the center of panel 2 with legs 11 and leg bosses l7 lying within the confines of panel 2 (FIG. 5).
Thus, in folded position stand 1 is a compact unit with brackets 3 and 4 folding generally flat against panel 2 providing a relatively flat unit, as is shown in FIG. 6, which can be stored conveniently in a drawer, cabinet or behind kitchen food storage cannisters or the like.
A hole 29 is formed in panel 2 adjacent upper edge 8 for hanging stand 1 in folded position on a kitchen cabinet or wall by a nail, hook, etc., providing another convenient manner for storing stand 1. The flat, relatively thin shape of stand 1 in folded position enables stand 1 to be stored by such wall mounting, thereby saving cabinet and drawer space for other items.
A picture, calendar or decorative print can be inserted between folded brackets 3 and 4 and panel 2, when stand 1 is in folded position and suspended by a hook through hole 29, enabling stand 1 to complement and blend with the decor of the kitchen. The decorative insert is removed easily when stand 1 is unfolded for use in holding a cookbook and is reinserted before returning the folded stand to its wall mounting.
Brackets 3 and 4, when in open position, extend rearwardly from panel 2 and in a slightly inwardly extending direction toward each other as is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, and indicated by angle B. Tapered front portions 25 and corners 28 of leg bosses 17 (FIG. 8) stop brackets 3 and 4 from extending beyond open position by engaging rear surface 7 of panel 2.
The inwardly extending position of brackets 3 and 4 determined by the bracket leg stop means helps maintain the brackets in open position. A book 5 when placed on brackets 3 and 4 as shown in FIG. 1, will have a tendency to return to closed position and move rearwardly between spaced wings 10, but is prevented from doing so by panel 2 contacting the extended pages.
This rearward force or movement by book 5 attempts to force Wings 10 further apart, but Wings 10 are prevented from moving outwardly by the stop portions 25 and 28 of bosses l7. Brackets 3 and 4, thus are forceably maintained in open position by the held book, yet are prevented from going beyond open position by the stop portions.
Accordingly, the cookbook stand construction 1 has several advantageous features. Panel 2, brackets 3 and 4 and the hinges are formed of lightweight plastic and are molded or formed easily and then assembled on hinge pins 19 providing a durable and sturdy construction. Likewise, there are no sharp corners of metal or wood to scratch and mar kitchen cabinets or equipment, or which could injure a person using the stand. The plastic can be cleaned easily by washing without rusting or becoming discolored in order to maintain the unit sanitary and attractive.
Another important advantage is that the brackets serve both as the supports for a cookbook as well as for the front panel which protects the cookbook from food splatters, and the stand can be folded into a compact unit for easy storage in a drawer or mounted on a wall with a decorative picture therein.
The slight inturned location of the brackets 3 and 4 when in open position, together with the bracket stop means maintains the brackets in open position and cooperates with front panel 2 to retain a book in upright readable position. Furthermore, the sloped mounting of panel 2 on brackets 3 and 4i enables book 5 to be read easily from a standing, working position when stand 1 is resting upon a kitchen cabinet top or table.
Thus, the new cookbook stand construction is simplified, provides an effective, sanitary, inexpensive and efficient device for holding an open cookbook in upright readable position, and provides for a clear front panel to protect the open cookbook from cooking splatters; provides a cookbook stand which is folded easily into a compact unit for storage; provides a cookbook stand achieving all the enumerated objectives; and provides for eliminating difficulties encountered with prior devices and solves problems and obtains new results in the art.

Prime Minister Mario Monti acknowledged as much at the end of last week when he indicated that leaders must deliver at this week's summit a '…clear medium and long term vision for greater integration'. He could not have been more straightforward in spelling out the risk of failing to do so: '… there would be progressively greater speculative attacks on individual countries, with harassment of the weaker countries.'
So a lot is riding on this week's European Union summit (June 28th and 29th) and to help get it off to the right kind of start, another pre-summit meeting is to be held this Wednesday in Paris. In contrast to last Friday's meeting involving Germany, France, Italy and Spain, Wednesday's pre-meeting is between Mrs Merkel and Mr Hollande and will likely aim to align their thinking on how to proceed towards the grand scheme of banking and fiscal integration.
For the markets then, this week's reasonably busy calendar of economic news, much of which focuses on the US, is likely to be superseded by prospective developments ahead of the summit as well as the outcome of the summit itself.
What will the markets be looking for? More >

New Perspective for a New Year
There are two way to do things when it comes to capturing that moment for the client - the right way, or over. Give me your vision, and I will help you realize it. I am not a portrait photographer, though have done thousands. Nor am I a wedding photographer, but have tripped the shutter on a few of those also. I am a conceptual photographer. Ambiance, atmospherics, light, scenery, composition are all key players in making that vision happen.
Your Vision - Realized.
Thanks to the fine crew over at Plotagraph, we have been granted access to test their awesome product out. If you ever thought that your static images were missing something, like maybe a hint of motion, this is the software to check-out. Check out some selected images created using the software here.
Welcome to Fabulous
Las Vegas, Nevada
Are you getting what you want with your outsourced projects? Fancy cameras, 360 video devices and high-end drones are of little benefit when the finished product is not in line with your vision. The tools are only as good as the hands they are in.
Does your photographer keep you in the loop? Are projects completed in a timely manner? Do you like the quality of the work you receive as a finished product?. A no answer to any of these questions is a RED FLAG.
Bottom line - When you have tried the rest, time to go with the best. What makes me the best? My clients of course. We get better at our craft by being challenged, and my clients are consistently looking to go above and beyond the limits. The tactile world has gone digital. We no longer have the added sensations that came with the physical handling of images from the past. So now it is up to me, and others worthy of the challenge to transform the viewing process from left swipe/right swipe, to something that makes you take pause, for just a second. For in that second, you and I are connected.
I did not vote for this winter and do not accept it
Nearly two decades ago came to the desert Southwest for nothing other than sun. Twenty years in Seattle, with stints on the North Slope building ice roads to move the drill rigs in winter; the far western end of the Aleutian Island chain (about 250 miles from Kamchatka, Russia) building military housing where the sun shines so infrequently, they give everyone the day off when it happens (Sunshine Liberty); and even the monsoons in SE Asia where it starts raining about the middle of June and does not stop for 3 months. And now a grey, wet winter in Las Vegas. This is VEGAS, is supposed to be sunny. So in protest of winter, a few images that wisk us out of the weather doldrums to a time of sun and flowers, birds and bees.

After being arrested or charged with a crime, it is not uncommon for criminal suspects to be left with a number of different questions about their legal rights and what they can do to defend themselves. Sometimes getting the answers you need to these questions can be unreasonably difficult however. In order to ensure that Austin residents have the information they need, Ian Inglis Attorney at Law and his legal team has worked to put together the following list of answers to frequently asked questions, providing you with the help you need.
If your question isn't here, or if you would prefer to discuss your case with a qualified lawyer, do not hesitate to call our offices at (512) 472-1950 today.
How long will a trial take?
Without knowing the particulars of your case, it is exceedingly difficult to determine exactly how long a trial might take should you choose to pursue one. Before you make a decision on how to approach your defense against the allegations brought against you, it is highly advisable that you seek legal advice from an experienced attorney. One of our criminal defense lawyers can advise you on what to expect from a trial in your specific case and may be able to produce an estimate as to trial length.
Do I have to let a police officer into my home?
Should an individual be suspected of any criminal activity, police officers will likely attempt to enter and search their residence for any evidence that may be used against him or her. However, any police officer who wishes to enter and search your residence must present you with a search warrant that was legally obtained from a judge; the Fourth Amendment protects your home and belongings from any unlawful search and seizure. Any evidence discovered and collected in your home without the presence of a search warrant cannot be considered in court.
If I plan to plead guilty, how can a lawyer help me?
Even if you are planning to plead guilty to the allegations leveled against you, a skilled criminal defense lawyer can be a highly beneficial asset. With the help of a criminal defense lawyer, the crimes you plan to plead guilty to may be reduced or somehow mitigated. Aside from reducing the consequences of a conviction, an experienced criminal defense lawyer can advise you toward the best possible course of action in your circumstances and in turn prevent you from taking a course of action you may later regret.
How can a criminal defense lawyer help?
If you have been charged with a criminal offense it is advisable that you retain the services of a criminal defense lawyer as early on in the legal process as possible. Having a lawyer present during any questioning or investigation can be critical in protecting your rights. Additionally, an experienced criminal defense attorney will know how your charges are likely to be prosecuted and, moreover, how defend against them. With proper legal representation, it may be possible to reduce or altogether eliminate the charges being brought against you.
Will my case go to trial?
It depends on the factors of your individual case. Depending upon the circumstances surrounding your case, you may benefit from reaching an out of court agreement. Under other circumstances, it may be in your best interest to pursue a trial. To best understand how the particulars of your case are likely to affect any possible sentencing, and to more generally understand the extent of the charges brought against you, you should speak with an experienced criminal defense lawyer.
Should I take a plea bargain?
Before you accept the terms of any plea bargain, you should consult with a criminal defense lawyer. Depending upon the particulars of your case, it may or may not be in your best interest to accept a plea bargain. In some instances, a trial may be more beneficial for you and your family. Many individuals feel pressured to accept plea bargains that prosecutors offer since the consequences of a trial conviction may be much more severe. In any case, you can benefit from experienced legal representation.
What is a hot check?
A hot check refers to a check that does not have sufficient funding in the bank to pay the amount promised. Writing a hot check has serious consequences in Texas, including up to two years in a county jail and a $1,000 fine in addition to what is owed. These are serious punishments to potentially face if the check was written unintentionally. Sometimes people make mistakes and write hot checks unknowingly, and a defense lawyer may be able to help defend you from harsh punishments if you face similar charges.
Can I be punished for marijuana possession intended for personal use?
Yes. The penalties for marijuana possession vary depending on the intention of the person in possession of the drug and the amount of the drug. Those who are caught with less than 2 oz or less may only be charged with a misdemeanor and up to 180 days in jail. Those who are caught with more marijuana may face increasingly strict punishments. Having a drug crimes criminal defense lawyer can be invaluable in minimizing or eliminating the punishment for marijuana possession.
What's the difference between DUI and DWI?
Driving under the influence of alcohol is a violation of the law regardless of the circumstances, but there are separate criminal charges for this crime based on a number of factors. In particular, an individual who is under the legal drinking age and who is found to have any amount of alcohol in their system can be charged with DUI, while adults who are above the legal drinking age can only be charged with DWI if their blood alcohol level is above a certain limit (.08% for most drivers, .04% for commercial drivers).
Can I still be charged with assault if I didn't hurt anyone?
Under the law, an accusation of assault does not require a showing of physical harm or even contact between the accused and the victim of the assault. In fact, simply threatening to harm someone else may be grounds for an assault charge. Unfortunately, in domestic contexts and other situations, this can frequently mean that an innocent individual will be charged with a serious criminal violation on the basis of little more than a heated verbal exchange, and it can be difficult to defend yourself against these charges without legal representation.
If I have a criminal record, can I seek expunction?
Expunction is a valuable option for many individuals whose lives have been negatively affected by their criminal records. However, not everyone who has a criminal record is entitled to seek expunction under Texas law. Furthermore, even those who may eventually be able to pursue expunction of a criminal record will have to wait before a certain period of time has passed before they are allowed to do so. Discussing your specific case with Ian Inglis Attorney at Law is the best way to determine whether you may qualify for expunction.
What is probable cause?
Probable cause is a legal standard required for law enforcement officials to arrest an individual or obtain a warrant for an arrest or search. In effect, probable cause requires a law enforcement official to be able to demonstrate their grounds for pursuing an arrest or search warrant to a degree sufficient to lead a reasonable person to conclude that certain beliefs, particularly that an individual may have been involved in the commission of a crime, are probably true. An absence of probable cause in a search or arrest may be grounds for criminal charges to be dismissed.
Do I have to take a breathalyzer test if I'm stopped while driving?
An individual who is stopped by a police officer while driving is not required to submit to a breathalyzer test if they wish to refuse. However, under Texas law, those who drive on public roadways provide their implied consent to these types of tests, and refusing to submit to a breathalyzer test may result in arrest and the suspension of a driver's license. Furthermore, law enforcement officials may still be able to obtain a warrant requiring the suspect to take a Breathalyzer or other type of test after initial refusal.
How are jurors selected for a trial?
From the community where the crime was allegedly committed, community members will be randomly selected to form the initial pool of potential jurors. After determining whether these potential jurors qualify to serve in the case, both legal teams involved in the case will then select the jury from these qualifying community members. During this final process, each lawyer will interview all of the potential jurors in order to determine how open-minded they are and to determine whether any bias may potentially pre-determine their judgment on a case. Only when each lawyer has been able to question each of the potential jurors will a final selection be made to form the jury.
Can I be convicted if I was never read my rights?
Intended to inform a criminal suspect of his or her rights throughout the criminal process, the Miranda rights are an important aspect of the criminal justice system. Though most suspects may be read their Miranda rights while they are being taken into custody by law enforcement, it is only legally required that they do so before the suspect is interrogated by police officers. As such, if law enforcement does not intend to and never does interrogate a suspect, it is not legally required that law enforcement read a suspect their Miranda rights. Conversely, if you were not read your rights and were interrogated by police officers, you should contact an experienced criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible.
After being charged with a crime, when should I retain a criminal defense lawyer?
If you have been charged with any crime, it is almost always going to be beneficial for you to retain the services of an experienced criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible. A criminal defense lawyer can help you ensure that your rights are being observed and upheld at every point during the criminal investigation and, should the event arise, help you hold those who abuse your rights accountable for their actions. Having tried other cases like your own, an experienced criminal defense lawyer will know how your charges are likely to be prosecuted and, thereby, how best to defend against them.
What is expunction?
Expunction offers certain people the ability to seal their records from the government and essentially erase any public knowledge of previous criminal charges. This can be a great benefit for people who are looking to move forward with a new job or find housing. Those who are able to have their records expunged do not have to disclose their criminal record to employers or landlords. However, only certain people are eligible for expunction. If you are interested in having your record expunged, an experienced criminal defense lawyer can help you determine whether you are eligible to file for expunction.
What is the difference between first, second, and third degree crimes?
First and second degree crimes carry the most severe consequences. These degrees of crime can be punished the most severely under Texas law, possibly including up to 99 years in prison. Third degree crimes may not be punished by incarceration time of more than 10 years. All felonies are punishable with a $10,000 fine. If you have been convicted of a first or second degree crime, it is critical that you seek legal guidance from an experienced criminal defense lawyer.
What kinds of gun crimes can I be charged with?
While Texans have the right to legally own a gun, there are still many things that you cannot do with a gun. The sale, manufacturing, transport, and possession of an unlawful gun can put you at risk of being charged with a gun crime. If you have been charged with a gun crime, it is imperative that you seek legal counsel from a criminal defense lawyer. Gun crime convictions can carry hefty monetary fines and incarceration time. A criminal defense lawyer can help you protect your legal rights and interests.
What are the eligibility requirements for expunction?
Expunction is the legal act of sealing criminal records from the government and public record. In order to apply for expunction, one must fulfill certain eligibility requirements. Those who were pardoned, acquitted, released from charges, or plead guilty to a Class C misdemeanor may seek expunction. While expunction is not guaranteed if you qualify under one of these classifications, a lawyer can help you take legal action to seal your criminal record.
What is a state jail felony?
Under Texas law, criminal activities are sorted into multiple categories for punishment. The lowest class of criminal activity is classified as a state jail felony. Those convicted of a state jail felony could spend up to two years in jail and pay up to $10,000 in fines. Some of the most common state jail felonies include: stealing, burglary, credit card abuse, evading arrest, and possession of less than one gram of a controlled substance. Convictions of state jail felonies can affect people's reputations and limit their opportunities later in life. If you have been charged with a state jail felony, a criminal defense lawyer could be invaluable in helping you avoid severe punishment.
What is the difference between battery and assault?
Battery and assault are often linked together and many people may think that they are the same thing. However, the two are separate offenses. Assault is the threat of harm against a person with the intention and ability to carry out that threat. Battery is the act of touching someone in an unwanted or offensive way. If you have been charged with assault and battery, you could be facing years in prison and hefty fines. An experienced criminal defense attorney can ensure that your legal rights are protected.
