[325 U.S. 283, 284] Miss Helen R. Carloss, of Washington, D.C., for petitioner.
Mr. Erwin W. Griswold, of Cambridge, Mass., for respondent.
Mr. Justice FRANKFURTER delivered the opinion of the Court.
At the threshold, the jurisdiction of the Court is challenged on the ground that the petition for the writ of certiorari was not filed within three months after 'entry' of the 'judgment' below as required by the Judiciary Act of February 13, 1925.1 [325 U.S. 283, 285] The steps by which the case came here are these. On August 8, 1944, the Circuit Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (144 F.2d 272) filed a document entitled 'Opinion'; on the same day the Clerk made a docket entry reading, 'Order reversed, A. N. Hand, C.J.'; on August 29, 1944, a document entitled 'Order for Mandate' was filed, and the mandate issued that day; on November 29, 1944, the petition for writ of certiorari was filed. The petition was filed too late if the 'Opinion', as respondent contends, constitutes the 'judgment'. It was filed in time, if the 'Order for Mandate' may properly be deemed the 'judgment'. The issue was ably pressed before us, and, since it concerns our power to review cases coming from what is perhaps the busiest circuit, it calls for more than summary treatment.
Even long continued practice cannot alter the limits within which Congress has bound the appellate jurisdiction of this Court. See Department of Banking v. Pink, 317 U.S. 264 , 63 S.Ct. 233. But such practice may be decisive in interpreting procedural ways which, as a matter of dialectic or abstract analysis, may appear dubious. We are naturally impressed by the common understanding that in the Circuit Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit the so-called 'Order for Mandate' is deemed the judgment. Robertson and Kirkham, Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the United States (1936) 384. We have taken and decided as a matter of course a considerable number of cases in which certiorari was sought within three months after entry of the 'Order for Mandate' but not within three months after the 'Opinion'.2 This practical understanding of the controlling significance, for appellate [325 U.S. 283, 286] purposes, of the 'Order for Mandate' is supported and certainly not contradicted by all that is conveyed by the 'Opinion' and 'Order for Mandate' and the Rules of the lower court.
It does not detract from the 'Opinion' as an opinion that in its heading it gives as dates 'Argued January 6, 1944 Decided August 8, 1944', and that it concludes with 'The order of the Tax Court is reversed.' (144 F.2d 272, 274.) The same or similar phrases are commonly employed in opinions of this Court without changing their character as opinions. Nor do like phrases in the opinions of the other circuit courts of appeals turn them into judgments. since in all other circuits judgment orders are separately filed. In spite of its title, the 'Order for Mandate' on its face fulfills the function of such a judgment order. It recites that
This language plainly imports that this is the judgment and that it is then being rendered. Nor does the fact that the order was prepared by the clerk and bears his signature detract from its quality as a judgment. A judgment 'is the act of the court', Ex parte Morgan, 114 U.S. 174, 175 , 5 S.Ct. 825, even though a clerk does all of the ministerial acts, as here, in conformity with his court's standing instructions. [325 U.S. 283, 287] The Rules of the court below governing opinions, rehearings, issuance of mandate and stay of mandate are invoked to show that the 'Opinion' is the appealable 'judgment'. These Rules, like other rules, are not phrased with such fastidious precision as to make of all the parts a perfect harmony. But while substantial debating points may be taken,3 nothing in these Rules contradicts the natural meaning yielded by the terms of the 'Opinion' and the 'Order of Mandate', as reflected in the practice of the Second Circuit and in our own, which treats not the 'Opinion' but the 'Order for Mandate' as the order of judgment. The Rules would have to be far less artistic than they are to warrant us in holding that the Circuit Court of Appeals has consistently misinterpreted some of its own Rules. Whether the announcement of an opinion and its entry in the docket amounts to a judgment for purposes of appeal or whether that must await some later formal act, ought not to be decided on nice-spun argumentation in disregard of the judicial habits of the court whose judgment is called into question, of the bar practising be- [325 U.S. 283, 288] fore it, of the clerk who embodies its procedural traditions, as well as in conflict with the assumption of the reviewing court.
But now that the existing practice has revealed abstract disharmonies, if not difficulties, the Circuit Court of Appeals will doubtless establish a more tidy system for meeting the technical requirements for review here. The normal time for entering a judgment, as the starting point for determining whether review will be sought or whether there has been acquiescence in a judgment, should be fixed. The uncertainties inherent in litigation should not be needlessly prolonged. The entry of the 'Order for Mandate', which in the Second Circuit begins the running of the period for appeal, is apparently variable and vagrant. In these days of rapid communication, the statutory allowance of three months is more than ample for an unsuccessful litigant to determine whether to seek further review. So long a period ought not to be extended by delay in entering a judgment nor should the burden of securing such entry be put upon the successful litigant. There are bound to be diversities in the modes of rendering and recording judgments of the forty-eight systems of State courts. Uniformity in the entry of judgment among the eleven circuits forming the single federal judicature ought to be capable of achievement without loss to the geographic flexibility of the system.
This brings us to the merits, which involve the validity of an income tax deficiency assessment for 1937. The case is this. The estate of Edward T. Bedford, who died May 21, 1931, included 3,000 shares of cumulative preferred stock (par value $100) of Abercrombie & Fitch Company. Pursuant to a plan of recapitalization respondent, as executor of the estate, in 1937 exchanged those shares for 3,500 shares of cumulative preferred stock ( par value $75), 1,500 shares of common stock (par value $1), and $45,240 in cash (on the basis of $15.08 for each of the old preferred shares). The recapitalization had been pro- [325 U.S. 283, 289] posed because the company, after charging against its surplus account stock dividends totaling $844,100, distributed in 1920, 1928, and 1930, had incurred a book deficit in that account of $399,771.87. Because of this deficit, the company, under applicable State law, was unable to pay dividends although for the fiscal year ending January 31, 1937 it had net earnings of $309,073.70.
By comparing the fair market value of the old preferred shares at the date of Bedford's death with the market value of the new stock and cash received the gain to his estate was $139,740. Admittedly the recapitalization was a reorganization, 112(g)(1)(D) of the Revenue Act of 1936, 49 Stat. 1648, 1681, 26 U.S.C. 112(g)(1)(E), 26 U.S.C.A. Int. Rev.Code, 112(g)(1)(E), so that only the cash received, but none of the stock, is taxable. Sections 112(b)(3), 112(c)(1), 49 Stat. 1648, 1679, 1680, 26 U.S.C. 112(b)(3), 112(c)(1), 26 U.S.C.A. Int.Rev.Code, 112(b)( 3), (c)(1). The sole issue is whether the cash, $45,240, is taxable as a dividend, or merely as a capital gain to the extent of 40%. The Tax Court sustained the determination of the Commissioner that the cash was taxable as a dividend, 1 T.C. 478, but was reversed by the Circuit Court of Appeals. 144 F.2d 272. On a showing of importance to the administration of the Revenue Acts, we granted certiorari. 323 U.S. 707 , 65 S.Ct. 439.
The precise question is whether the distribution of cash in this racapitalization 'has the effect of the distribution of a taxable dividend' under 112(c)(2) of the Revenue Act of 1936 and as such is fully taxable, o is taxable only at the rate of 40% as a capital gain under 112(c)(1) of that Act. The relevant provisions read: '(c) Gain from exchanges not solely in kind. (1) If an exchange would be within the provisions of subsection (b), (1), (2), (3), or (5) of this section if it were not for the fact that the property received in exchange consists not only of property permitted by such paragraph to be received without the recognition of gain, but also of other property or money, then the gain, if any, to the recipient shall be recognized, but in an amount not in excess of the sum of such [325 U.S. 283, 290] money and the fair market value of such other property. (2) If a distribution made in pursuance of a plan of reorganization is within the provisions of paragraph (1) of this subsection but has the effect of the distribution of a taxable dividend, then there shall be taxed as a dividend to each distributee such an amount of the gain recognized under paragraph (1) as is not in excess of his ratable share of the undistributed earnings and profits of the corporation accumulated after February 28, 1913. The remainder, if any, of the gain recognized under paragraph (1) shall be taxed as a gain from the exchange of property.' 26 U.S.C.A. Int.Rev.Acts, page 857.
The history of this legislation is not illuminating. Section 112(c)(2) originated in 203(d)(2) of the Revenue Act of 1924, 43 Stat. 253, 257. But the reports of the Congressional Committees merely use the language of the section to Explain it. H.Rep.No.179, 68th Cong., 1st Sess., pp. 14-15; S.Rep.No.398, 68th Cong., 1st Sess., pp. 15-16. Nor does the applicable Treasury Regulation add anything; it repeats substantially the Committee Reports. Treas.Reg. 94, Art. 112(g)-4. We are thrown back upon the legislative language for ascertaining the meaning which will best accord with the aims of the language, the practical administration of the law and relevant judicial construction.
Although Abercrombie & Fitch showed a book deficit in the surplus account because the earlier stock dividends had been charged against it, the parties agree that for corporate tax purposes at least earnings and profits exceeding the distributed cash had been earned at the time of the recapitalization. That cash therefore came out of earnings and profits and such a distribution would normally be considered a taxable dividend, see 115(a), 26 U.S.C.A. Int.Rev.Acts page 868,4 and has so [325 U.S. 283, 291] been treated by the courts in seemingly similar situations. It has been ruled in a series of cases that where the stock of one corporation was exchanged for the stock of another and cash and then distributed, such distributions out of earnings and profits had the effect of a distribution of a taxable dividend under 112(c)(2). Com'r v. Owens, 5 Cir., 69 F.2d 597; Com'r v. Forhan Realty Corp. 2 Cir., 75 F.2d 268; Rose v. Little Inv. Co., 5 Cir., 86 F.2d 50; Love v. Com'r, 3 Cir., 113 F.2d 236; Campbell v. United States, 3 Cir., 144 F.2d 177. The Tax Court has reached the same result, that is, has treated the distribution as a taxable dividend, in the case of the recapitalization of a single corporation. McCord v. Com'r, 31 B.T.A. 342, 344; J. Weingarten, Inc., v. Com'r, 44 B.T.A. 798, 808, 809; Knapp Monarch Co. v. Com'r, 1 T.C. 59, 69, 70, affirmed on other grounds, 8 Cir., 139 F.2d 863. We cannot distinguish the two situations and find no implication in the statute restricting 112(c)(2) to taxation as a dividend only in the case of an exchange of stock and assets of two corporations.
Respondent, however, claims that this distribution more nearly has the effect of a 'partial liquidation' as defined in 115(i).5 But the classifications of 115, which governs 'Distributions by Corporations' apart from reorganizations, were adopted for another purpose. They do not apply to a situation arising within 112. The definition of a 'partial liquidation' in 115(i) is specifically limited [325 U.S. 283, 292] to use in 115. To attempt to carry it over to 112 would distort its purpose. That limitation is not true of 115(a) which defines 'dividend' for the purpose of the whole title. Accordingly, this definition is infused into 112(c)(2). Under 115(a) a distribution out of accumulated earnings and profits is a 'dividend', thus confirming the conclusion that a distribution of earnings and profits has the 'effect of the distribution of a taxable dividend' under 112(c)(2).
Recapitalization does not alter the 'effect'. Although the capital of a company is reduced, the cash received is a distribution of earnings and profits and as such falls within the federal tax. That the company's treatment of its stock dividends may bring consequences under State law requiring a capital reduction does not alter the character of the transactions which bring them within the federal income tax. Recapitalization is one of the forms of reorganization under 112(g)(1)(D ). It cannot therefore be urged as a reason for taking the transaction out of the requirements of 112 and forcing it into the mold of 115. The reduction of capital brings 112 into operation and does not give immunity from the requirements of 112(c)(2).
Treating the matter as a problem of statutory construction for our independent judgment, we hold that a distribution, pursuant to a reorganization, of earnings and profits 'has the effect of the distribution of a taxable dividend' within 112(c)(2). As is true of other teasing questions of construction raised by technical provisions of Revenue Acts the matter is not wholly free from doubt. But these doubts would have to be stronger than they are to displace the informed views of the Tax Court. And if the case can be reduced to its own particular circumstances rather than turn on a generalizing principle we should feel bound to apply Dobson v. Commissioner, 320 U.S. 489 , 64 S.Ct. 239, and sustain the Tax Court.
[ Footnote 1 ] 'Sec. 8(a) That no writ of error, appeal, or writ of certiorari, intended to bring any judgment or decree before the Supreme Court for review shall be allowed or entertained unless application therefor be duly made within three months after the entry of such judgment or decree, excepting that writs of certiorari to the Supreme Court of the Philippine Islands may be granted where application therefor is made within six months: Provided, That for good cause shown either of such periods for applying for a writ of certiorari may be extended not exceeding sixty days by a justice of the Supreme Court.' 43 Stat. 936, 940, 28 U.S.C. 350, 28 U.S.C.A. 350.
[ Footnote 2 ] During the 1941, 1942 and 1943 Terms, this Court entertained reviews and affirmed judgments of the Circuit Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in not less than ten such cases: Commercial Molasses Corp. v. New York Barge Corp., 314 U.S. 104 , 62 S.Ct. 156; State of New York v. United States, 315 U.S. 510 , 62 S.Ct. 71 ; Mother Lode Coalition Mines Co. v. Com'r, 317 U.S. 222 , 63 S.Ct. 179; Smith v. Shaughnessy, 318 U.S. 176 , 63 S.Ct. 545; Helvering v. Griffiths, 318 U.S. 371 , 63 S.Ct. 636; Emil v. Hanley, 318 U.S. 515 , 63 S.Ct. 687; Fred Fisher Music Co. v. M. Witmark & Sons, 318 U.S. 643 , 63 S.Ct. 773; Equitable Life Assur. Society v. Com'r, 321 U.S. 560 , 64 S.Ct. 722; Medo Photo Supply Corp. v. National Labor Relations Board, 321 U.S. 678 , 64 S.Ct. 830; United States ex rel. Brensilber v. Bausch & Lomb Optical Co., 320 U.S. 711 , 64 S.Ct. 187 (equally divided court).
[ Footnote 3 ] Respondent argues that the Rules of the court below, with respect to the opinions of the court, rehearings, issuance of mandate, and stay of mandate, show that the 'opinion' is meant to constitute the court's judgment. But these Rules compute time, with respect to filing of petitions for rehearing and for issuance of mandate, not from entry of a 'judgment' but from the 'filing of the opinion of this court'. Some difficulty is raised because Rule 27 refuses a rehearing 'unless a judge who concurred in the judgment desires it.' Also respondent finds it paradoxical to 'stay' the court's mandate under Rule 30 when the mandate is customarily iss ed on the same day the 'Order for Mandate' is filed. And respondent argues that the court could not have meant to confer upon its clerk discretion to hold up, for varying lengths of time, the rendering of a judgment until fees have been paid by the prevailing party. In this case the 'Order for Mandate' and issuance of the mandate were delayed for twenty-one days, and were not entered within fifteen days from the filing of the opinion which Rule 30 and the court's instructions require; the time has been variously extended in other cases.
[ Footnote 4 ] '(a) Definition of dividend. The term 'dividend' when used in this title (except in section 203(a)(3) and section 207(c)(1), relating to insurance companies) means any distribution made by a corporation to its shareholders, whether in money or in other property, (1) out of its earnings or profits accumulated after February 28, 1913, or (2) out of the earnings or profits of the taxable year (computed as of the close of the taxable year without diminution by reason of any istributions made during the taxable year), without regard to the amount of the earnings and profits at the time the distribution was made.'
[ Footnote 5 ] '(i) Definition of partial inquidation. As used in this section the term 'amounts distributed in partial liquidation' means a distribution by a corporation in complete cancellation or redemption of a part of its stock, or one of a series of distributions in complete cancellation or redemption of all or a portion of its stock.'

text: The Kevin Jackson Show started as The Black Sphere Radio Show, which began as a humble program on blogtalk radio in 2009. The show quickly garnered the notice of veteran radio man "Big Dave" Perkins, and Big Dave encouraged Kevin, telling him that he was "made" for radio, good looks notwithstanding. In short time WGUL's program director agreed and offered Kevin the weekend slot on the station. A lot has happened since then, as Kevin is now a FOX News Contributor, and is waiting on the next big radio syndication opportunity. On the show Kevin Jackson serves up conservative talk with a fresh helping of sarcasm and humor: he challenges the politics of the left and a culture dominated by Progressives with fresh, funny, insightful common-sense commentary.

A few weeks ago, I got some changes in my life, and I decided to travel a little bit more than usual. I deciced to move for a few weeks in Australia, because I have a good friend there, she's a successful Wedding Photographer in Sydney, and I m more active in Photoshoot and photography work.
I was so interested to make a few photoshoots with models of different countries, various reasons for that.. I have the time, it makes me work in english ( directing, giving instructions ), the weather and place to make outdoor photo session are amazing, with symbolic building ( sky tower in Auckland, Opera House in Sydney ) and lovely beaches.
How to find models when you are not from the country ? It was especially frustrating for me as I m managing a Facebook group of Photographers, Models and Make Up Artist in Toulouse, with more than 600 members now. so I have already my own network.
So .. how to find a models when you are photographer coming in a new country or new city ? I knew ModelMayhem to be an international directory, so for a few weeks, I tried to browse and request proposal to Models in Sydney. With a quite low read confirmation level ( when you post a message to a ModelMayhem member, you can check if he/she reads it. Fair enough, I didnt have myself the most professional portfolio even if my recent session were quite good. I finally succeeded to make 2 photoshoots ( one as a Paid Assignement , and another as TFP ) in Sydney.
What is a TFP ?
TFP is a new vocabulary in english than I didn't know. it means Trade For Print. You exchange your time as a photograph with the time of the model, and in exchange, you are providing the pictures of the session ( edited, sorted etc.. ). Actually it doesn't mean you have really to print the pictures, only provide them to the model. so the both parties can add new pictures in their book and portfolio. Of course TFP ( free photoshoot session ) doesn't attract the best models who has already some work paid, and will not need extra pictures… UNLESS.. you can provide some style and pictures they don't already have. So if you are good, ( or famous ) , you could get some interest even for better models. In my personal case, I like more the portraits, and close up also named headshot. It's something models rarely have, as more photographer prefers artistic, nude ( of course ) , or fashion shoots. the kind of shoots which doesn't reveal the true "face" of the model. Anyway, it's another article.
In Short, TFP is free job for both parties, and sure you can expect less replies and less motivation.. we will confirm this later but not only.
ModelMayhem vs StarNow !
I didn't know ModelMayhem very well but I had an account in 2009, I find the directory and web site very ugly, but at least, the directory and database is big. My concern is the email notification, I had the feeling people weren't receiving my messages. The quality of the directory is uneven some very good profil and some very lame .. but it is like that for any directory. For my short trip in New Zealand, I was using for the first time the travel notice, and I got an answer in 30 minutes, I was just amazed… at the end, this person didn't show up, we were txting and whatever at the end the result is the same.
Now, about Starnow.com the website looks more modern, with a better looking model profil page, and a good casting management. Actually once I launched my first casting (with some strategic mistake as any first time ). I did it for New Zealand ( Auckland ) and for Australia ( Sydney ) , I got in a few hours 40 applications, ( I reached in total 65 applications ) , what a difference. I was really happy and started to select models and communicate. I got some unbelievable request for my casting about http://www.the-smiling-project.org ) , for exemple from Miss New Zealand 2012 !
In a casting in Starnow, you can define different roles, due to the number of requests I received, I quickly add a new role as TFP ( my first guess was to make paid assignement , that's what I put in my project description )
Whatever the models receive the notification I got some request in the TFP category too. so I decided to focus on the free collaboration for sure. I got some exchanges with some people, but my first conclusion is : People don't read !
As it looks like a casting and contest, people just apply. some of them add a description which shows they read about your project. but they just don't follow up, or too slowly ( more than 2 days for a casting planned for a few days later , it's just toooooo slow ! ). I don't know how it works for girls and teenagers in NZ ! but they don't seem to be concerned to have their email and notification on their phone.. while I got a micro sim at the airport for a decent price.. I still don't understand.
At the end, I tried to organize 2 photoshoots session, one sunday ( for people which have their week end ) and another monday just before my departure.
I received a total of 23 applications for the NZ ( around 500 views ) , I selected half of the participants, and try to focus on a few of them. I didn't have a crush on a single one, or at least it wasn't a person interested in TFP. I selected some beginners, just to be kind, and because I was sure to be able to help them in their portfolio ( my exchange spirit.. )
Whatever Starnow is a wonderful platform for the contacts ( at the opposite of ModelMayhem, you have really a good visibility and volume of models ), the result is the same.. even with phone number and txting to be sure they will have the message, I got 2 times 2 models .. and at the end.. nobody came. Some of them just gave some lame excuses before ( a couple of hours and because i was doing a follow up before the session ), some just didn't reply.
Models stood me up
In french we have an expression "poser un lapin", when someone is not coming, it could be badly translated as " put a rabbit " that's why I added a rabbit picture in the article.
I m mad, I never seen such a result, on 4 models who confirmed to come. none came.. and even one was promised to be paid. it was only 2 hours photoshoots, in the easiest part of the city to access ( close to the downtown with all the train stations and bus stations ) in Albert Park. The weather was better than expected in the 2 days with wonderful light. It was planned for the end of the afternoon and even people working could have come after their work or the school for the students.
So I was like an idiot waiting for a while, then I left.. I paid the parking, came from 30 km away for nothing… 2 times in a raw ! I m cursed ? well. At least I got the 100% success rate in Sydney, models were on time, professionnal, sweet, no issues on this ( only some problem with the follow up to choose the pictures and validate the best one to go public )
Why they didn't come ?
Some reasons ( and I won't have the truth ) :
– Too young
– Too Lazy
– Cursed and unlucky
– no Free job
– Intimidated
– Idiots
all the reasons would need to be developped, it could be a little of several factors. at least, one of the models was paid, and she didn't came either, so… the money wasn't the limitation.
And what about a model agencies ?
Well the funny part, before starting to use Starnow, I was looking by google if such my facebook group equivalent was existing, or any other models group )
I ended up with a model agency, so I placed an enquiry.
Well, I got a reply but it wasn't very fast and it was like if my english wasn't good. with a minimum of 3 hours at 85$ NZD ( around 50€ per hour ) it wasn't so bad. but I was thinking it would have been fine to use Starnow with 20ish requests received in a few hours. The guy wasn't responsive enough to make it happens. 2 or 3 models he sent me , would have been good for my project. The web site was : www.nzmodelling.com
Definitely in a next trip I would try this option again just to be sure to have at least a model from the agency.
TO BE CONTINUED.. with the Sydney casting, trying to learn from the mistakes, but what mistakes I did :) that's the question.
Conclusion : well, too soon, i will continue to investigate.

Leading Accelerator Technology
From blueprint to construction, Fermilab scientists and engineers develop particle accelerators to produce beams to take particle physics to the next level, collaborating with scientists and laboratories around the world to help build these complex machines. Researchers build accelerators to be efficient and robust along every step of the particle beam's path, from the time it's born to its termination on target.
The machines themselves must be efficient, cranking up beam to high energies while using as little energy as possible. They require strong magnets to form tight particle beams to get the most science out of them as they smash into targets or other beams. The targets must be robust and reliable, able to take the onslaught of high-power beams. And to see how it will play out before building the brick-and-mortar accelerator, computing experts simulate every last detail using advanced software and hardware, helping accelerator scientists build the right accelerator from the get-go.
Superconducting radio-frequency technology
Fermilab tests and develops superconducting radio-frequency accelerating cavities, a key technology for next-generation accelerators and the future of particle physics.
SRF cavities enable accelerators to increase particle beam energy levels while minimizing the use of electrical power by all but eliminating electrical resistance. Future experiments looking into the origins of the universe and nature of matter, including the proposed International Linear Collider and Fermilab's new proton source, will require advanced SRF technology.
SRF technology is a highly efficient way to accelerate beams of particles. It starts with shiny, curvy, virtually perfect cells made of niobium, a superconducting metal, which are connected like a string of hollow pearls. The cells are cleaned and polished so that not a speck of dust or the slightest imperfections remain. Several strings, or cavities, are nestled in a vessel called a cryomodule, which bathes them in liquid helium and keeps them at the ultracold temperature that is key to their operation and efficiency.
Running through the string of pearls, or cells, is an electric field that oscillates between positive and negative millions or billions of times per second. Each cycle, or wave, swells to its peak and sinks to its valley within the space of a single cell; it is as if each cell rapidly switches between a positive and negative charge. The cycles are timed to kick charged particles as they speed from cell to cell. When the particles enter the cell they are pushed forward by the electric field; as the particles move to the next cell, the electric field switches so that the particles are again pushed forward once they enter that cell. This process continues until the particle has shot all the way through the accelerator.
To ensure that the accelerating field is as high as possible so that the particles get the high energy needed for the planned collisions, the cavities are welded, polished, high-pressure-rinsed and tested to the best performance.
Learn more about Fermilab's SRF program.
High-field magnets
Magnets shape and steer the particle beam in a particle accelerator. They are used to make the beam bend around a curve and can also make the beam flat like a ribbon or round like a cord. The stronger the magnet — that is, the higher the magnetic field — the more focused the beam, the better the chances that particles will interact once they collide, whether they smash into a target or meet with another high-energy beam of particles coming at them.
Fermilab is one of the world's leading laboratories in accelerator magnet R&D. Scientists and engineers develop both superconducting and normal-conducting magnets to shape and steer beams at ever-higher energies. They are also working on new superconducting materials to develop even more powerful magnets for the next generation of particle accelerators.
A major component of Fermilab's magnet program is the development magnet technology for CERN's Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, Switzerland. The LHC Accelerator Research Program consists of four US laboratories that are working to develop accelerator components to increase the beam luminosity of the LHC.
Learn more about magnets at Fermilab.
One way to flush out particles that are deeply hidden from view is to send an intense, powerful particle beam into a material, such as carbon or a metal, producing a gusher of new particles that scientists can then study. As the birthplace of particles in many particle physics experiments, the target is no less important than the beam that collides with it.
Fermilab experiments require hardy, robust targets that can withstand the power of the particle beams that pummel them. In the future, these targets will need to withstand even higher beam power and more punishment. Fermilab's scientists and engineers are hard at work developing targets and target materials that can resist the fatigue caused by the rapid and repeated punches and that retain their strength over long periods of time. Researchers are even investigating targets made out of liquid metals, which can withstand the very high-power beams envisioned for the future.
Fermilab is currently researching targets for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment and NOvA, as well as a proposed muon collider and neutrino factory.
Learn more about targetry at Fermilab.
Accelerator physics and modeling
Accelerator theory and modeling expertise is of tremendous importance to accelerator design, research and development. Fermilab's talent in these areas helps accelerator experts make the most of their machines and plan for the future by giving them a better understanding of the physics of beams. Through theory and modeling, scientists also provide the tools to predict and simulate how a particle beam behaves when it is accelerated, steered and focused.
Beam physicists develop theoretical and analytical tools for the laboratory's current and next-generation accelerator facilities. They provide accelerator physics support for existing operational programs, train accelerator scientists and engineers, and carry out experimental programs for a broad range of accelerator R&D, which can be accessed by both Fermilab staff and the worldwide high-energy physics community.
Computer scientists develop software that lets experimenters manipulate the multiple variables involved in accelerating a beam of particles in a simulated setting. They run simulation programs on more than 100,000 cores, housed at Argonne National Laboratory, keeping Fermilab at the leading edge of the rapidly changing field of high-performance computing.
Experimenters currently apply beam dynamics and energy deposition simulations to the Main Injector for a future high-intensity proton accelerator, the debuncher for Mu2e, and studies of the Booster. They also contribute to simulations for the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, Switzerland, and to the studies of Fermilab's future accelerator facilities.

A quodlibet is a piece of music combining several different melodies, usually popular tunes, in counterpoint and often a light-hearted, humorous manner. The term is Latin, meaning "whatever" or literally, "what pleases."
Quodlibet (QUOD) is a suite of network creation, editing and querying software I am currenty developing. QUOD is a software application that displays biochemical pathway data in a way that is interactive and information intensive.
In addition to providing information about genetic-protein interactions QUOD also allows for additional information to be harvested, including data on the effects of natural products on gene-protein expression.
Unlike most biochemical pathway/network depiction programs QUOD actually 'thinks' in a social network sense in that it analyzes the network and reports on many graph functions including betweeness centralities, page-ranks, and cluster coefficients. This allows an immediate understand of which nodes are acting in a critically important role in the network.
It was designed to be simple, easy to user and fun to edit and develop in. Because it is web-based, no special software is required, other than a modern browser and a decent Internet connection. QUOD runs under the DataPunk platform and is open-access. Curators can use the extensive editing tools to add to, alter, or create entirely new networks.
One of the more powerful aspects of QUODLIBET is its ability to highlight naturopathic procedures and agents that have been shown to exert an influence on the expression or function of elements in a molecular network. This will have a major influence on the future practice of Generative Medicine, since complex patterns of relationships between naturopathic agents and procedures (traditional as well as biomedical) can be superimposed over the network analysis of complex molecular graphs so as to allow clinicians to derive extraordinarily high quality suggestions about specific approaches that may more closely approximate the holism of the Vis Medicatrix Naturae.
Since the project is community-based, we are always looking for volunteers who are interested in helping out. Volunteers need not have any medical or super computer skills, just a passion for exactitude and a desire learn more about the genetics and biology. To learn more about QUODLIBET, you can download the User Guide and visit the Community Forums.
What is needed now is the community of volunteers who would be willing to devote time to curate additional maps. Hopefully this call to action will not prove too disappointing: I can think of no better way to enhance one's own understanding and knowledge about a complex topic than to build mind-maps. Thus it is to the students of our profession that I direct this challenge, though any interested party with a computer and a decent Internet connection is welcome to help out.
Phase I of our map development program will involve translating the KEGG genomic and metabolic maps into QUOD format. KEGG maps are good and even hyperlink to relevant KEGG entries for enzyme activities, drugs, etc. However KEGG maps are hand drawn and cannot perform network graph computations. However KEGG has done much of the heavy lifting: converting a KEGG map to a QUOD map makes development quick and painless. From there QUOD will link all subsequent maps into clustered networks, allowing for greater and greater information processing.

In December 2003, the FCC began collecting data to build a registry of public safety answering points (PSAPs). A primary PSAP is defined as a PSAP to which 9-1-1 calls are routed directly from the 9-1-1 Control Office, such as, a selective router or 9-1-1 tandem. A secondary PSAP is defined as a PSAP to which 9-1-1 calls are transferred from a primary PSAP. The PSAP database serves as a tool to aid the Commission in evaluating the state of PSAP readiness and E9-1-1 deployment.

Last updated July 3, 2024
Note: The PSAP Registry now includes a column indicating the date on which individual PSAP information was modified.
The Registry lists PSAPs by an FCC assigned identification number, PSAP Name, State, County, City, and provides information on any type of record change and the reason for updating the record. The Commission updates the Registry periodically as it receives additional information. For further information concerning the FCC's Master PSAP Registry and carrier reporting requirements, or to notify the Commission of changes to the PSAP Registry, please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Despite numerous challenges, Zimbabwe has an active civil society advocating for a broad range of human rights issues, yet increasing numbers of human rights defenders, lawyers and journalists are being targeted due to their legitimate human rights work. This has included being subjected to threats, arbitrary detention, abductions and enforced disappearances and the police are able to act with impunity. In particular, human rights defenders tackling issues concerning corruption, public accountability and impunity have been targeted.
In May 2013, a new constitution was adopted which enshrines a number of fundamental rights including the rights to peaceful assembly, freedom of expression as well as political participation. However, restrictive legislation continues to impinge on the work of human rights defenders and civil society organisations are still subjected to prohibitive legal restraints. Despite calls from the international community, the government has not yet aligned its legislation with this new constitution.
In November 2017, President Robert Mugabe was replaced by Emmerson Mnangagwa as a result of an apparent military coup. Despite rhetoric of a 'new era' in the country, human rights defenders are still targeted and pro-democracy activists remain at particularly serious risk. Also targeted in particular are human rights defenders advocating for public accountability, those working on LGBTI rights and women's rights, as well as those working on freedom of speech, documenting human rights abuses, and advocating for transparency in the country's extractive industries. Pro-democracy activist, Itai Dzamara, who was abducted in 2015 remains uncounted for over three years later.

The main focus of the Buhl Meteorite Collection is on stone and iron meteorites with exceptional or particularly characteristic morphologies. In particular such specimens that exceedingly display the effects of atmospheric passage on shape and texture of the meteorite. In this regard we try to acquire meteorites recovered after witnessed falls with priority. Several Saharan finds with often well preserved exteriors are included as well as own finds from various hot deserts. Another aim of the collection is to accumulate representative samples displaying the internal characteristics of petrologic and chemically different meteorites. Again, here the focus is on exceptional features such has high contrast chondrule patterns, heavy brecciation, shock features or uncommon inclusions.
This page presents a representative cross section of the stony meteorites in our collection to the interested public. It contains both special showpieces and less spectacular type samples and will be frequently updated.

I picked up this T by Alexander Wang bomber during The Outnet's clearance sale, and loved the simplicity of it. But when it came time to wearing it, I found that it was missing something…turns out it was missing several pins and brooches. After arranging a few of my faves on the jacket, it finally looked complete!
The rest of the outfit came together like a charm thanks to a few stand-out accessories – my new fave Bulova watch – so elegant and timeless, my old fave fuzzy Prada clutch – a perfect match to Odessa Paloma Parker's Shrimps stunner, and the most amazing choker from Jenny Bird – the one you probably have seen a million times on my Snapchat (@styleblogca if you want to check it out). With other accessories, this would've been a completely different look, but I am pretty happy with the way this one turned out. What do you think?

Just as AG George Brandis launches a massive expansion of surveillance and data retention, a serious warning from America warns about the dangers to democracy of such moves. 31 July 2014
Surveillance hampers media, lawyers
(Washington, DC, USA) – Large-scale US surveillance is seriously hampering US-based journalists and lawyers in their work, Human Rights Watch and the American Civil Liberties Union say in a joint report.
Their comments and recommendations have direct relevance in Australia, Civil Liberties Australia's CEO Bill Rowlings said. "As AG Brandis spruiks the wholesale widening of surveillance and massive new data retention in Australia, the dangers of these moves are being demonstrated by a sober, sensible US report based," he said.
The late-July 2014 report says surveillance in the USA is undermining media freedom and the right to counsel, and ultimately obstructing the American people's ability to hold their government to account.
The 120-page report, "With Liberty to Monitor All: How Large-Scale US Surveillance is Harming Journalism, Law, and American Democracy," is based on extensive interviews with dozens of journalists, lawyers, and senior US government officials. It documents how national security journalists and lawyers are adopting elaborate steps or otherwise modifying their practices to keep communications, sources, and other confidential information secure in light of revelations of unprecedented US government surveillance of electronic communications and transactions.
The report finds that government surveillance and secrecy are undermining press freedom, the public's right to information, and the right to counsel, all human rights essential to a healthy democracy. "The work of journalists and lawyers is central to our democracy," said report author Alex Sinha, Aryeh Neier Fellow at Human Rights Watch and the American Civil Liberties Union. "When their work suffers, so do we."
Impact of surveillance on journalism
The report is drawn from interviews with some 50 journalists covering intelligence, national security, and law enforcement for outlets including the New York Times, the Associated Press, ABC, and NPR.
The US has long held itself out as a global leader on media freedom. However, journalists interviewed for the report are finding that surveillance is harming their ability to report on matters of great public concern.
Surveillance has magnified existing concerns among journalists and their sources over the administration's crackdown on leaks. The crackdown includes new restrictions on contact between intelligence officials and the media, an increase in leak prosecutions, and the Insider Threat Program, which requires federal officials to report one another for "suspicious" behavior that might betray an intention to leak information.
Journalists interviewed for the report said that surveillance intimidates sources, making them more hesitant to discuss even unclassified issues of public concern. The sources fear they could lose their security clearances, be fired, or – in the worst case – come under criminal investigation.
"People are increasingly scared to talk about anything," observed one Pulitzer Prize winner, including unclassified matters that are of legitimate public concern.
Many journalists described adopting elaborate techniques in an environment of tremendous uncertainty in an effort to protect evidence of their interaction with sources. The techniques ranged from using encryption and air-gapped computers (which stay completely isolated from unsecured networks, including the internet), to communicating with sources through disposable "burner" phones, to abandoning electronic communications altogether. Those cumbersome new techniques are slowing down reporters in their pursuit of increasingly skittish sources, resulting in less information reaching the public.
This situation has a direct effect on the public's ability to obtain important information about government activities, and on the ability of the media to serve as a check on government, Human Rights Watch and the ACLU found.
Journalists expressed concern that, rather than being treated as essential checks on government and partners in ensuring a healthy democratic debate, they may be viewed as suspect for doing their jobs.
One prominent journalist summed up what many seemed to be feeling: "I don't want the government to force me to act like a spy. I'm not a spy; I'm a journalist."
Impact of surveillance on the practice of law
For lawyers, large-scale surveillance has created concerns about their ability to meet their professional responsibilities to maintain confidentiality of information related to their clients. Failure to meet those responsibilities can result in discipline through professional organizations, or even lawsuits.
Lawyers also rely on the free exchange of information with their clients to build trust and develop legal strategy. Concerns over government surveillance are making it harder for attorneys – especially, but not exclusively, defence attorneys – to build trust with their clients or protect their legal strategies. Both problems corrode the ability of lawyers to represent their clients effectively.
As with the journalists, lawyers increasingly feel pressure to adopt strategies to avoid leaving a digital trail that could be monitored. Some use burner phones, others seek out technologies designed to provide security, and still others reported traveling more for in-person meetings.
Like journalists, some feel frustrated, and even offended, that they are in this situation. "I'll be damned if I have to start acting like a drug dealer in order to protect my client's confidentiality," said one.
The result of the anxieties over confidentiality is the erosion of the right to counsel, a pillar of procedural justice under human rights law and the US Constitution, Human Rights Watch and the ACLU found.
The US has an obligation to protect national security, and under human rights standards, it may engage in surveillance to that end, but only to the extent that surveillance is lawful, necessary, and proportionate, and the least intrusive means to protect against tangible threats to national security.
Many existing surveillance programs are indiscriminate or overbroad, and threaten freedom of expression, the right to counsel, and the public's ability to hold its government to account.
Programs allowing surveillance of non-US persons offer even fewer protections.
The US should reform its surveillance programs to ensure that they are targeted and legitimate, increase transparency around national security and surveillance matters, and take steps for better protection of whistleblowers and the media, Human Rights Watch and the ACLU said.
"The US holds itself out as a model of freedom and democracy, but its own surveillance programs are threatening the values it claims to represent," Sinha said. "The US should genuinely confront the fact that its massive surveillance programs are damaging many critically important rights."

Against All Enemies July 31, 2009
Former FBI translator Sibel Edmonds dropped a bombshell on the Mike Malloy radio show, guest-hosted by Brad Friedman (audio, partial transcript).
Sibel Edmonds on the Mike Malloy Show, hour 1
Sibel Edmonds on the Mike Malloy Show, hour 2
Former FBI translator and founder of the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition, Sibel Edmonds.
In the interview, Sibel says that the US maintained 'intimate relations' with Bin Laden, and the Taliban, "all the way until that day of September 11."
These 'intimate relations' included using Bin Laden for 'operations' in Central Asia, including Xinjiang, China. These 'operations' involved using al Qaeda and the Taliban in the same manner "as we did during the Afghan and Soviet conflict," that is, fighting 'enemies' via proxies.
As Sibel has previously described, and as she reiterates in this latest interview, this process involved using Turkey (with assistance from 'actors from Pakistan, and Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia') as a proxy, which in turn used Bin Laden and the Taliban and others as a proxy terrorist army.
Control of Central Asia
The goals of the American 'statesmen' directing these activities included control of Central Asia's vast energy supplies and new markets for military products.
The Americans had a problem, though. They needed to keep their fingerprints off these operations to avoid a) popular revolt in Central Asia ( Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan), and b) serious repercussions from China and Russia. They found an ingenious solution: Use their puppet-state Turkey as a proxy, and appeal to both pan-Turkic and pan-Islam sensibilities.
Turkey, a NATO ally, has a lot more credibility in the region than the US and, with the history of the Ottoman Empire, could appeal to pan-Turkic dreams of a wider sphere of influence. The majority of the Central Asian population shares the same heritage, language and religion as the Turks.
In turn, the Turks used the Taliban and al Qaeda, appealing to their dreams of a pan-Islamic caliphate (Presumably. Or maybe the Turks/US just paid very well.)
According to Sibel:
This started more than a decade-long illegal, covert operation in Central Asia by a small group in the US intent on furthering the oil industry and the Military Industrial Complex, using Turkish operatives, Saudi partners and Pakistani allies, furthering this objective in the name of Islam.
Sibel was recently asked to write about the recent situation with the Uighurs in Xinjiang, but she declined, apart from saying that "our fingerprint is all over it."
Of course, Sibel isn't the first or only person to recognize any of this. Eric Margolis, one of the best reporters in the West on matters of Central Asia, stated that the Uighurs in the training camps in Afghanistan up to 2001:
"were being trained by Bin Laden to go and fight the communist Chinese in Xinjiang, and this was not only with the knowledge, but with the support of the CIA, because they thought they might use them if war ever broke out with China."
And also that:
"Afghanistan was not a hotbed of terrorism, these were commando groups, guerrilla groups, being trained for specific purposes in Central Asia."
In a separate interview, Margolis said:
"That illustrates Henry Kissinger's bon mot that the only thing more dangerous than being America's enemy is being an ally, because these people were paid by the CIA, they were armed by the US, these Chinese Muslims from Xinjiang, the most-Western province.
The CIA was going to use them in the event of a war with China, or just to raise hell there, and they were trained and supported out of Afghanistan, some of them with Osama Bin Laden's collaboration. The Americans were up to their ears with this."
Rogues Gallery
Last year, Sibel came up with a brilliant idea to expose some of the criminal activity that she is forbidden to speak about: she published eighteen photos, titled "Sibel Edmonds' State Secrets Privilege Gallery," of people involved the operations that she has been trying to expose. One of those people is Anwar Yusuf Turani, the so-called 'President-in-exile' of East Turkistan (Xinjiang). This so-called 'government-in-exile' was 'established' on Capitol Hill in September, 2004, drawing a sharp rebuke from China.
Also featured in Sibel's Rogues Gallery was 'former' spook Graham Fuller, who was instrumental in the establishment of Turani's 'government-in-exile' of East Turkistan. Fuller has written extensively on Xinjiang, and his "Xinjiang Project" for Rand Corp is apparently the blueprint for Turani's government-in-exile. Sibel has openly stated her contempt for Mr. Fuller.
The Turkish establishment has a long history of mingling matters of state with terrorism, drug trafficking and other criminal activity, best exemplified by the 1996 Susurluk incident which exposed the so-called Deep State.
Sibel states that "a few main Susurluk actors also ended up in Chicago where they centered 'certain' aspects of their operations (Especially East Turkistan-Uighurs)."
One of the main Deep State actors, Mehmet Eymur, former Chief of Counter-Terrorism for Turkey's intelligence agency, the MIT, features in Sibel's Rogues Gallery. Eymur was given exile in the US. Another member of Sibel's gallery, Marc Grossman was Ambassador to Turkey at the time that the Susurluk incident exposed the Deep State. He was recalled shortly after, prior to the end of his assignment, as was Grossman's underling, Major Douglas Dickerson, who later tried to recruit Sibel into the spying ring.
The modus operandi of the Susurluk gang is the same as the activities that Sibel describes as taking place in Central Asia, the only difference is that this activity was exposed in Turkey a decade ago, whereas the organs of the state in the US, including the corporate media, have successfully suppressed this story.
Chechnya, Albania & Kosovo
Central Asia is not the only place where American foreign policy makers have shared interests with Bin Laden. Consider the war in Chechnya. As I documented here, Richard Perle and Stephen Solarz (both in Sibel's gallery) joined other leading neocon luminaries such as Elliott Abrams, Kenneth Adelman, Frank Gaffney, Michael Ledeen, James Woolsey, and Morton Abramowitz in a group called the American Committee for Peace in Chechnya (ACPC). For his part, Bin Laden donated $25 million to the cause, as well as numerous fighters, and technical expertise, establishing training camps.
US interests also converged with those of al-Qaeda in Kosovo and Albania.
Of course, it is not uncommon for circumstances to arise where 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend.' On the other hand, in a transparent democracy, we expect a full accounting of the circumstances leading up to a tragic event like 9/11. The 9/11 Commission was supposed to provide exactly that.
State Secrets
Sibel has famously been dubbed the most gagged woman in America, having the State Secrets Privilege imposed on her twice. Her 3.5 hour testimony to the 9/11 Commission has been entirely suppressed, reduced to a single footnote which refers readers to her classified testimony.
In the interview, she says that the information that was classified in her case specifically identifies that the US was using Bin Laden and the Taliban in Central Asia, including Xinjiang. In the interview, Sibel reiterates that when invoking the gag orders, the US government claims that it is protecting " 'sensitive diplomatic relations,' protecting Turkey, protecting Israel, protecting Pakistan, protecting Saudi Arabia…" This is no doubt partially true, but it is also true that they are protecting themselves too, and it is a crime in the US to use classification and secrecy to cover up crimes.
As Sibel says in the interview:
I have information about things that our government has lied to us about… those things can be proven as lies, very easily, based on the information they classified in my case, because we did carry very intimate relationship with these people, and it involves Central Asia, all the way up to September 11.
The bombshell here is obviously that certain people in the US were using Bin Laden up to September 11, 2001.
It is important to understand why: the US outsourced terror operations to al Qaeda and the Taliban for many years, promoting the Islamization of Central Asia in an attempt to personally profit off military sales as well as oil and gas concessions.
The silence by the US government on these matters is deafening. So, too, is the blowback.

If you need any inspiration for your Make: Halloween DIY Haunts project, check out these props that were on display at World Maker Faire, made by the folks at Halloween Animatronics. The rather slender gentleman above is named Marvin and is what they call a "grave popper." They explain how he was built:
We had a grave popper (Marvin). A small skeleton sold at a local party store that had three or four audio comments. He was designed to use a push button or a light sensitive resistor to detect someone close to his face and then say something funny. I hacked the circuit board, added a transistor, and wired DC voltage back to a PICAxe carrier board. The PICAxe could control when he said something. I then built the lift mechanism with angle stock and pressure treated lumber. The lift arm was actuated by a pneumatic cylinder. A Passive Infrared sensor in a plywood gravestone detected movement and the PICAxe fired a relay to the solenoid valve and waited a few hundreds of a second and then fired the transistor to make the skeleton talk.

After finishing American Assassin I jumped straight into Kill Shot: An American Assassin Thriller to continue with the Mitch Rapp series.
I really enjoyed the first book and I think this second one is even better. There is more spy-like action with double-crossing and backstabbing.
What I liked most about this story is that the ancillary characters are well fleshed out and I found myself caring for them and excited about their part in the story. I would love to read a series of books with the lead police detective from Paris as the protagonist.
George Guidall does a great job reading the book with his usual fatherly pace and timbre.
From the publisher:
#1 New York Times best-selling author Vince Flynn is back with another nail-biting political thriller that follows the young Mitch Rapp on a deadly mission to hunt down the men responsible for the Pan Am Lockerbie terrorist attack.
For months, Mitch Rapp has been steadily working his way through a list of men, bullet by bullet. With each kill, the tangled network of monsters responsible for the slaughter of 270 civilians becomes increasingly clear. He is given his next target: a plump Libyan diplomat who is prone to drink and is currently in Paris without a single bodyguard.
Rapp finds him completely unprotected and asleep in his bed. With confidence in his well-honed skills and conviction of the man's guilt, he easily sends a bullet into the man's skull. But in the split second it takes the bullet to leave the silenced pistol, everything changes. The door to the hotel room is kicked open and gunfire erupts all around Rapp. In an instant the hunter has become the hunted. Rapp is left wounded and must flee for his life.
The next morning, the news breaks in Washington that Libya's Oil Minister has been killed along with three innocent civilians and four unidentified men. The French authorities are certain that the gunman is wounded and on the loose in Paris. As the finger pointing begins, Rapp's handlers have only one choice – deny any responsibility for the incident and pray that their newest secret weapon stays that way, avoiding capture and dying quietly. One person in the group, however, is not prone to leaving things to chance. Rapp has become a liability, and he absolutely cannot be allowed to be taken alive by the French authorities. But it will soon become clear that nothing is more dangerous than a wounded and cornered Mitch Rapp.
©2012 Vince Flynn (P)2012 Simon & Schuster Audio
I rate Kill Shot a 7 out of 10 and recommend to fans of spy thrillers.

The EU police related part of the European Surveillance Union that is under construction. The publication of the infamous ENFOPOL 98 paper by quintessenz staff in Telepolis caused world wide repercussions. ENFOPOL is also known as the EU-FBI surveillance system" - see CALEA.
The European communications surveillance system under construction was branded pars pro toto ENFOPOL. This is the document acronym denoting used by the EU Council Police Cooperation Working Party. We just follow the usage of the US term CALEA that has acquired a broader meaning than that of a simple lawgiving effort [Communications Assistance Law Enforcement Act] More correct, however, is the wording "EU-FBI surveillance system" preferred by Statewatch, who broke the first story on that matter. The "international requirements" to direct line access to all [mobile] telecom network datacenters [and later internet providers] for "law enforcement" were developed in the US-led ILETs [International Law Enforcement Telecom Seminars]. The recent effort to enforce network operators and providers to retain customer traffic data is orchestrated by the USA. This section contains mostly doquments related to the Police Cooperation Working Party bearing the acronym ENFOPOL. The few, pretty rare ILETs [and related] papers are included as well as the masterplan was developed there. Please note that all ENFOPOL doquments are being counted anew annually starting with ENFOPOL 1.

Yes Cancel Concerts, Withdraw From Cruise Due to Coronavirus
Yes has become the latest act to cancel performances due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The rockers had originally planned to play a handful of shows in the southeast United States this month alongside the Alan Parsons Live Project. Those dates were supposed to lead into the band's participation in the seventh annual Cruise to the Edge, an event they've headlined every year since 2013. Instead, Yes will no longer appear at any of their previously scheduled spring stops.
"Although Yes performs with the spirit that 'the show must go on,' we've reached the point where various factors require us to cancel our forthcoming U.S. dates and cancel our appearances on the 7th 'Cruise To The Edge," guitarist Steve Howe said in a statement. "We are full of regret, as we've been preparing for these shows with maximum excitement. Running a relatively large show aided by our 12-piece crew and full production requires insurance coverage, which is currently unavailable to us for a variety of reasons beyond our control. Mostly, we always hope to deliver a great show, creating a good experience for music fans and bringing joy to all. It's become impossible to predict what will happen in the near future, but we look forward to seeing you all very soon."
Drummer Alan White added that the group "will genuinely miss our fans/friends who have accompanied us for years on these fun excursions. Gigi [Alan's wife] and I have very close personal friends and family members who booked to join us for this trip so we are all extremely disappointed. It is unfortunate timing for everyone. We sincerely hope that all involved will realize the last thing the band ever wants to do is to let down their audiences. We believe it is a prudent decision based on many variables and external factors."
Despite Yes' withdrawal, Cruise to the Edge organizers insist their sold-out event will move forward. "On behalf of all of our artists and crew, we wish [Yes] the best and will miss them," noted an email from the company. "However, the show will go on, including some new special performance announcements! See you aboard!!"
Billed as "the world's greatest progressive rock experience," Cruise to the Edge is scheduled to run from March 27 though April 1. Other artists on the lineup include British rockers Marillion, former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett, Flying Colours and Dream Theater keyboardist Jordan Rudess and many more prog-rock acts.
Yes' concert cancellations add to a growing list of music tours and events affected by the coronavirus. Pearl Jam, Green Day, Whitesnake, Santana and Sammy Hagar are among the many acts to cancel entire tour legs due to the outbreak. In addition, long running music festivals, including South By Southwest and Coachella, have either been canceled or postponed until later in the year.
The coronavirus has reportedly infected over 100,000 people worldwide, with the death toll surpassing more 4,200.
