Weston Disorderly Conduct Lawyer
Weston Police frequently make arrests for Disorderly Conduct under Connecticut General Statutes § 53a-182. Many people would be surprised to learn how easy it is to get arrested for Disorderly Conduct. Though this crime is not as serious as a violent felony charge, the impact of a Disorderly Conduct arrest can cause serious problems for you and your family.
Potential penalties include hefty fines and a short jail sentence. In addition, the arrest and possible conviction become a matter of public record that could impact employment, housing opportunities and online reputation searches.
If you have been arrested for Disorderly Conduct, contact a Weston Disorderly Conduct lawyer who can guide you through the court process to reach the best result possible based on the circumstances of your case. A capable domestic violence attorney could pursue the best possible outcome for you.
How Does the Law Define Disorderly Conduct?
Disorderly Conduct is a sort of catch-all law. Police officers may cite this law when they feel that a person is disturbing the peace, threatening to disrupt public life, or simply being a nuisance.
According to Connecticut General Statutes § 53a-182, people may commit Disorderly Conduct in a variety of ways. These include:
- Obstructing traffic
- Making unreasonable noise
- Engaging in violent or threatening behavior
- Annoying or interfering with another person
- Blocking traffic of motor vehicles or pedestrians
- Disturbing a meeting or assembly without legal authority
- Congregating with others in a public place and failing to disperse when ordered to do so
- Trespassing and observing another person in that individual's dwelling in a situation where the individual has an expectation of privacy
In many ways, a Disorderly Conduct charge can be used to break up otherwise peaceful protests. In others, charges may result from playing overly loud music or yelling in the streets. A Weston Disorderly Conduct attorney can provide more information about the nature of these charges and what a prosecutor needs to prove to secure a conviction.
Fighting Disorderly Conduct Charges
A CGS 53a-182 Disorderly Conduct arrest can stem from a wide variety of causes and situations, so there is no single defensive strategy applicable to all cases. Disorderly Conduct charges are most often seen in Weston domestic violence cases, as it is the least serious domestic violence crime in the books. Often it can be argued that an individual's conduct did not rise to the level of criminal conduct or that the police evidence is not sufficient to warrant the charge.
An experienced Weston Disorderly Conduct attorney understands how prosecutors and judges have applied the law in the past, especially in a wide variety of circumstances. This expertise allows many of the best Weston criminal lawyers to craft the best, and most cost-effective, defense in your particular case.
One way that a Weston Disorderly Conduct attorney could help is to argue the case at trial. A prosecutor must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a defendant committed the offense. An attorney could argue that the alleged conduct did not occur or that the defendant was not the party who committed the supposed offense.
In other cases, it may be best to seek out a negotiated plea bargain. In most cases alleging Disorderly Conduct, both the court and the prosecutor may be open to a dismissal of charges if a person completes community service or participates in another form of pretrial diversion. To learn more about dismissing a disorderly conduct case, click here. These options can see the end of a criminal case without a mark on an individual's criminal record. An attorney could help to determine if this option is a person's best choice.
What are the Potential Consequences for a Disorderly Conduct Conviction?
The same statute that defines Disorderly Conduct in Connecticut labels the offense as a Class C misdemeanor. Under Connecticut law, convictions for a Class C misdemeanor can result in a maximum penalty of three months in jail. In addition, the court may order a party to pay a fine of up to $500 after a conviction. Of course, a person's main goal should be to avoid these penalties.
Contact a Weston Disorderly Conduct Attorney
A Disorderly Conduct charge may seem minor, but the potential consequences can have a long-lasting impact on your personal life and professional endeavors.
When you are facing Disorderly Conduct charges in Weston, rather than risk going it alone to court, seek advice and counsel from an aggressive and experienced Weston Disorderly Conduct criminal lawyer who can serve as your advocate, and help you work toward the best possible resolution of your case. Call today to get started.

What is Día de los Muertos and what are the meanings behind how is an ofrenda decorated? In this video from Kidspace Children's Museum in Pasadena, California, a puppet La Calavera Catrina introduces Mexico's colorful holiday, celebrated on November 1st and 2nd.
Recognizable by her fancy hat with feathers, La Catrina is an icon of the Mexican Day of the Dead, but her image has changed with culture and art over the decades. Via The Grace Museum, La Catrina's history involves artists Jose Guadalupe Posada and Diego Rivera, as well as traditions from Aztec history:
"Mictēcacihuātl – the queen of the Aztec underworld of Chicunamictlan was the central figure for anyone who passed on in the Aztec culture. The Aztec celebrated death as a part of the cycle of life, leaving offerings or temporary altars or "ofrendas" intended to assist them on their journey beyond death."
Learn more about ofrendas from this blog post by Vince Dominguez, a Kidspace Children's Museum team member:
"These altars can be simple, but often, they are elaborately decorated in vibrant colors and wonderful images. The altars contain images of loved ones, candles, sugar skulls known as "calaveras" and most importantly, it is a place for "ofrendas" or offerings for those who have passed. These consist of some of the favorite things that the person enjoyed like specific treats or drinks. This is to welcome them and help aid them on their journey to and from the afterlife. My family has created these altars for as long as I can remember, and it has grown, as we have had to say goodbye to our loved ones throughout the years."
"The bottom level usually contains candles, flowers, towels, and water. The candles are used to light the way back to us with the fragrance of the flowers enticing the spirits to come back. We lay out the towel and water so that they can refresh themselves after their long journey. The second level is where we place the food and special treats that they loved while they were here. The top level is where we place the images and personal belongings of those who have passed. Next to each image we try to include an item that belonged to them. For example, we place my father's walking cane and favorite hat beside his photo. This helps us reconnect with the spirit in a physical form.
"Along with these offerings we would often burn incense as we use it to cleanse and drive away bad spirits in preparations for your loved ones to return. Brightly colored tissue paper and decorations are hung on and around the altar as a representation of the celebration of life and is a reminder that this should not be a somber time, but one for celebration and welcoming home those you have missed."

Please Note:
- If your loss was due to clickbait or fraud, we cannot help.
- We also cannot recover funds lost on exchanges outside of the US.
- If an exchange is telling you that you need to make a tax payment and then they will release your funds, you are likely the victim of an unrecoverable fraud, and you should not make any tax payments or additional transfers to the thieves.
As a former financial regulator, I know first-hand there are good and bad actors. If you have invested money and one of the major exchanges has locked you out, don't wait to contact a lawyer. There are many platforms including Binance, Coinbase, FTX, KuCoin, Kraken and others.
These exchange platforms have seen incredible growth in the last few years and many people are using them as new opportunities to make quick trades. With the increased demand for these platforms, the exchanges are light on customer service and consumers are running into roadblocks when their accounts are frozen or being hacked.
Generally, yes. The first thing to look at is whether there is an arbitration requirement in the exchange's terms of use. Another thing a lawyer will need to analyze is the proper forum for suit, which includes looking at where the exchange are incorporated, where it has a physical presence, analyzing the user agreement, and other factors.
Time is critical for these cases. Anyone who has bought a coin or token knows how quickly prices can move. If an exchange locks you out your value could be cut in half if you intended to trade at a certain point.
If you have had your account frozen, had your account hacked, or experienced other problems with an exchange give us a call today. It is very important to document everything and screenshot your communications with customer support and any unauthorized transactions.

Salesforce.com has opened its code to outsidedevelopers for the first time with the introduction ofApex, a new multi-tenant programming language andplatform. Companies will be able to useApex to tailor or reprogram their Salesforce.comdeployments or build entirely new components withinthe application from scratch.
Salesforce.com previously has offered developer tools and platforms with limited flexibility for companies that wanted to write applications for its third-party network.
The introduction of Apex could level theplaying field for on-demand offerings and on-premise applications, Yankee Group CRM analyst Sheryl Kingstone told CRM Buyer. Up to now, most largeenterprises have tended to remain with legacy software,which is far easier to customize. One downside, of course, is that upgrading suchhighly customized applications is very difficult.
The introduction of Apex opens up Salesforce.com and allowsusers to heavily customize the application andworkflow. "It just about knocks out whatevercompetitive advantage the premise-based applicationoffers," Kingstone said.
A Significant Move
The move to open its code is one of the most significant stepsSalesforce.com has made since its introduction as astart-up more than seven years ago, said Kingstone.
Not surprisingly, Salesforce.com CEO and Chairman MarcBenioff, who has been known to indulge in hyperbolein the past, agreed. "This is the most importantannouncement Salesforce.com has ever made," he said."With Apex, developers from our ISVs (independent software vendors) and customerswill be able to write code that runs natively on ourinfrastructure, providing them with the samecapability as our own Salesforce.com developers."
Apex augurs the beginning of anentirely new development cycle for the company, according to Kingstone. Nextyear, "Salesforce.com will beintroducing more intelligent processes and deepcustomization tools," she predicted. "Users will be able to embedpersonal intelligence into the application."
Kingstone expects that further down the road, larger userswill be able to syndicate the applications they buildto their own customers.
How It Works
Apex will run on Dell and Intel architecture inSalesforce.com data centers using Dell's new 1x50architecture. Code that is created with Apex will bemulti-tenant and encapsulated to protect customerimplementations against flaws, and automaticallyupgraded in conjunction with Salesforce.com, thecompany explains.
Apex will be a Java-like development language.Anything built using it can be made available as a Webservice and is accessible via SOAP (simple object access protocol) and XML (extensible markup language) standards,Salesforce.com also said. The Apex platform willprovide capabilities for embedded mashups, analytics,mobility, workflow and approvals, and deliverintelligence with a new API (application program interface). Apex components andapplications can be shared viaSalesforce.com's AppExchange directory.
The Apex platform is scheduled for availability inconjunction with Salesforce Winter '07, and the Apexlanguage is scheduled for availability in the firsthalf of 2007.

Auto Sales Remain Subject to State and Local Orders Despite Designation as Essential by CISA
The Guidance now specifies that amongst those essential individuals needed "to maintain the services and functions Americans depend on daily and that need to be able to operate resiliently during the COVID-19 pandemic response" are "Workers critical to the manufacturing, distribution, sales, rental, leasing, repair, and maintenance of vehicles and other transportation equipment (including electric vehicle charging stations) and the supply chains that enable these operations to facilitate continuity of travel-related operations for essential workers."
This has led many dealers to question if the Guidance allows, or will cause, restrictions to loosen in those states where an existing government order limits auto sales to online transactions with restricted delivery or designates auto sales as "non-essential."
The Guidance provides clarity that dealership sales are permitted in jurisdictions with orders that specifically reference the CISA regulations in defining what constitutes an "essential service." Put more simply, if a particular jurisdiction gets its definition of "essential" from CISA, then automobile sales can be considered an essential service in that jurisdiction. With that being said, even if your state's executive order adopts the CISA Guidance, dealers should still carefully examine their local orders to see if showrooms may be re-opened as local orders may be more restrictive.
In sum, if an executive order does not explicitly reference CISA, the Guidance does not change any existing order issued by a state, county or city. Restrictions or prohibitions against auto sales are governed by executive order in the state where a dealership is located. Additionally, some counties and cities have issued stay-at-home orders that are more restrictive than statewide orders. An advisory memorandum issued on March 28, 2020, by CISA specifies that the Guidance is "advisory in nature," and should not be considered "a federal directive or standard."
The memorandum further confirms that "jurisdictions should add or subtract essential workforce categories based on their own requirements and discretion." Thus, the mandates contained in any state, county or city order remain in effect until modified or lifted by the issuing jurisdiction, or clarified through interpretive guidance issued by that authority. While the Guidance may influence the contents of a future state, county, or city order, it should not be relied upon by a dealership to conduct auto sales where such activity is presently restricted or prohibited.
The CISA advisory memorandum and Guidance version 3.0 can be found here.

Track star Sha'Carri Richardson is speaking out about her suspension from the U.S. Olympic team after failing a drug test.
Richardson, 21, was poised to be a favorite in Tokyo after winning the women's 100-meter race last month at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials in Eugene, Oregon, with a time of 10.86 seconds. A U.S. Olympic source told NBC News that Richardson failed the test after her win, with her testing positive for THC, the chemical found in marijuana.
"I want to take responsibility for my actions," she told Savannah Guthrie in an exclusive interview Friday on TODAY. "I know what I did, I know what I'm supposed to do ... and I still made that decision."
Richardson accepted a one-month suspension early Friday from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency for an anti-doping rule violation.
"Sha'Carri Richardson's situation is incredibly unfortunate and devastating for everyone involved," USA Track and Field wrote in a statement Friday. "Athlete health and well-being continue to be one of USATF's most critical priorities and we will work with Sha'Carri to ensure she has ample resources to overcome any mental health challenges now and in the future."
Richardson emerged as a star to watch after her showing at the trials, endearing fans with her eye-catching orange hair, long fingernails, nose rings and tattoos. She also went viral in a heartwarming moment when she sprinted up the stands to embrace her grandmother in celebration of her performance.
She told NBC Sports following her win in the 100m that her biological mother had died the week before trials. That loss played a part, she said on TODAY.
"(I'm) not making an excuse or looking for any empathy in my case, but, however, being in that position in my life, finding out something like that, something that I would say is probably one of the biggest things that have impacted me ... that definitely was a very heavy topic on me," she said.
"People don't understand what it's like to have to … go in front of the world and put on a face and hide my pain. Who am I to tell you how to cope when you're dealing with the pain or you're dealing with a struggle that you haven't experienced before or that you thought you never would have to deal with?"
She added that her biological mother's death was "triggering" and the news sent her into "a state of emotional panic."
While Richardson can no longer compete in the 100m in Tokyo, there is still a chance she can compete in other races. That, however, is not on her mind, she said.
"Right now, I'm just putting all of my time and energy into dealing with what I need to do, which is heal myself," she said. "So if I'm allowed to receive that blessing, then I'm grateful for it, but if not, right now I'm going to just focus on myself."
Richardson is contrite about what happened and feels for those she may have let down.
"I apologize," she said. "As much as I'm disappointed, I know that when I step on the track, I don't represent myself. I represent a community that has shown me great support, great love, and I failed you all. So I apologize for the fact that I didn't know how to control my emotions or deal with my emotions.
"I greatly apologize if I let you guys down, and I did."
She wrapped her interview with Savannah with a sentiment similar to one she wrote on Twitter Thursday.
"Don't judge me because I am human. I'm you, I just happen to run a little faster."


text: On explicit analytic solutions for the accurate evaluation of the shear stress in sandwich beams with a clamped end Lorenzo Bardella and Ornella Mattei DICATAM, University of Brescia, Via Branze 43, Brescia 25123, Italy Abstract We focus on analytic solutions for the accurate computation of the shear stress in sandwich beams under flexure. To this purpose, we follow the strategy recently proposed by our group and apply the Jourawski method to the structural beam model based on the zigzag warping. We consider sandwiches whose cross-section is symmetric with respect to the neutral axis and whose skin shear deformation and core longitudinal stress are accounted for (that is, we do not limit our attention to thin skins nor to antiplane sandwiches). We obtain explicit analytic expressions for the cases of cantilever and propped-cantilever beams subject to uniform transverse load. The comparison with numerical solutions obtained through plane stress finite element simulations shows the excellent accuracy of the analytic solution, apart in a region close to the fully clamped cross-section, where the finite element solution itself is unreliable, while the new analytic solutions provide useful estimates.

Buyer Guide for stapler gun
What's a staple?
Staple is a hand held machine that can be used to put stapler pins and use it to join things together. They can also have a nailing option.
A stapler gun can do multiple operations like stapling, nailing and also wire clipping. There are some common tasks that are done using a staple gun like roofing wiring carpeting upholstery.
Other things that are done commonly with a stapler gin are using staples into wood and plastic.
A heavy-duty staple gun can handle much of these tasks easily.
Stapler pins are basically made of iron, so they are strong and can easily hold things together.
In case of adding some clothes to wood or some elastic while making a sofa or a chair, a staple gun will make things easy.
- Ease of use
- Stapler pins are very easy to get and cheap.
- Some stapler guns also have nails support which is an advantages
- Less maintenance needed so it will last long.
- Easily available parts.
Many types of stapler and brad nail guns are available in the market. Some are manual and some are automatic. Automatic staple or brad nail guns use electricity or batteries to work with.
They fall in an expensive category, and they are hard to get in INDIA.
They say tools are used based on the purpose.
So if you are getting a stapler, then you should select its type based on the purpose you are getting it for.
Manual stapler: This as the name suggest is operated manually. They need a press by your hand to operate. Most of us might have seen a manual stapler or might have used it for some purpose. They are available in all stationery stores around us and also the pins come with them. It's cheap in price as well.
Automatic stapler. These are staple that work on electricity or batteries, as we had mentioned before. They are a bit pricey and not that popular in India. They are made by famous tool manufactures like Bosch, Dewalt, Milwaukee, Makita, and also you can get some from local brands as well.
Also check the best bosch drill machine section
Professional stapler
If we consider staplers for a professional use then they are mostly used in insulation house wrap roofing and also for carpeting, upholstery and hobby purpose.
They are classified based on the pins that we use in a stapler. Stapler pin comes in various sizes
- 5mm
- 8mm
- 10mm
- 13mm
- 15mm
- 20mm and so on
The list is big. So what is a staple size?
The length of a stapler pin mentions the depth it can penetrate through the material that you are putting into.
You need to consider the material and thickness of the material that you are using else the pin will penetrate through the material, and it will come to the other side which will damage the material that you are using it.
Basically, a staple gun or powered staple are used in woodworking as they make the work pretty fast and easy.
Other main professional uses including insulation house wrap which is done on ceiling that will avoid water leakage and dripping issues during rain.
Electric stapler guns: These guns are used to drive heavy metal staples that are hard to be used with manual staplers.
They are very powerful, and can penetrate through any hard surface. There are metal staplers as well, which are very powerful and expensive and are used in professional work.
Driving metal staples in wood can be done using a manual stapler as well, but there are limitations in the length of stapler pins used here.
As a manual stapler does not have much power the penetration power given on each staple is not much so if you use a thicker pin in this kind of stapler it won't penetrate the material well and don't look good.
Other common purposes that people use a stapler gun is to do hobby and craft materials work.
People interested in craft work will use a stapler to join light materials to wood or plastic, like cloth or plastic nets or paper. These are lightweight tasks and do not need much power.
So here a manual stapler would be enough.
Need of an electric stapler:
If you are looking to do the following work, then get an electric stapler.
- House wrap or roofing and wiring
- Using on materials, including insulation of a house
- Wrap roofing or wiring and carpeting your floors.
Here we have classified the stapler based on their uses and customer reviews.
We have gone through the nailers and staples that you were looking for. If you are a professional then I would suggest you get a high power nailer which will make your work really easy, the Dewalt that we had mentioned earlier is one of the best option.
In case if you are looking for a stapler gun for DIY and craft work then I would suggest getting a Miles 2313A which has all the options that you need including the depth adjustment.

A Devon girl who coloured her face in purple marker was featured on This Morning on Friday.
Hosts Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford giggled as they showed a picture of Skyla-Rae Muttram on screen.
The picture of the five-year-old was uploaded and posted by her mother Jade Perry with the caption 'how long is it until they go back?'
Skyla-Rae explained that she added the marker because she was trying to look like the Disney character, Vamperina, who is all purple.
It took days for the marker to come off her face and that incident sparked the opening segment of This Morning as other parents also sent in pictures of their children in similar circumstances.
Speaking about the story Eamonn said: "She coloured her face, she put a purple marker on her face.
"All of which is fine, the idea is she wanted to look like her favourite Disney character, Vamperina.
"So Ruth, the problem was what?"
Ruth replied whilst laughing: "The problem was it was a permanent marker.
"So you might think that's alright, it's just blue eye shadow but it was permanent marker.
"Her mum Jade put this on Facebook saying how long until they go back to school, at the end of her tether.
"They said they tried everything, baby wipes, baths, scrubbed her with washing up liquid.
"It took two days to get that off apparently."
The other pictures that were sent into the show as a result of Skyla-Rae were a girl called Lily who had coloured her face pink to try and look like Poppy from Trolls.
Another girl drew glasses on her face in permanent marker to look like Harry Potter and a third found their daughter in the toilet, literally.
Eamonn then added: "I suppose colouring is part of the problem and where they put their hands on the walls and that sort of thing.
"But the permanent marker thing? Goodness me."

COLLEGE PARK, Maryland — With his third hat trick of the season Saturday, Alex Ovechkin is quickly climbing the list of all-time hat trick leaders. But the NHL's premier goal scorer of the 21st century is unlikely to ever top that list because of the era he plays in.
With seven goals in the Capitals' first two games and Saturday's three-goal performance against Toronto, Ovechkin brought his career regular season hat trick total to 20, the most among active players. The next closest active skater, future Hall of Fame forward Jaromir Jagr, has 15 but has played in 779 more NHL games than the 32-year-old Russian.
"Sometimes you are just feeling it," Ovechkin told the Associated Press after Saturday's victory.
Practically peerless when it comes to three-goal games among current players, Ovechkin still remains well behind the league's all-time leaders. Wayne Gretzky sits atop the list with 50 regular season hat tricks, with Mario Lemieux (40), Mike Bossy (39), Brett Hull (33) and Phil Esposito (32) rounding out the top five. Ovechkin is in a three-way tie for 14th.
"Typically, the amount of hat tricks a player has is going to fairly closely track how dominant of a goal scorer they were," hockey historian James Benesh said. "The ones who were consistently the best goal scorers of their time are going to be the ones who rack up the most goals and sometimes three of them are going to come in one game."
Here's an infographic detailing Ovechkin's career hat trick trajectory
Unlike Gretzky, Ovechkin has played his entire career in an era where scoring goals is much less common. As a result of larger goaltender equipment, refined defensive strategies and improved physical conditioning, players in today's NHL have to work harder to find the back of the net.
Gretzky, widely considered the greatest player ever, played his prime years in the high-flying 1980s, where the style of play favored high-powered offenses. During the decade, smaller players took up less space and less athletic goaltenders wearing smaller pads offered skaters more net to shoot at. And more relaxed coaching strategies resulted in more goal scoring.
During Gretzky's first 12 NHL seasons (1979-1980 to 1990-1991) the average number of goals scored in a game fluctuated between 6.92 and at 8.02, according to Hockey Reference.
The goals per game rate took a significant dip in the latter half of Gretzky's career. It dropped exactly two goals per game between 1993 and his final season in 1999, signaling the start of the NHL's Dead Puck Era. By the 2003-2004 season, the goals per game rate registered a 42-year low at 5.14.
At the beginning of Ovechkin's rookie season in 2005-2006, the league enacted rule changes to increase league-wide scoring. It eliminated the two-line pass rule, which prevented players from receiving passes from their own defensive zone past center ice. It introduced the trapezoid behind the net to restrict goalies' puck-handling capabilities. And it strictly enforced holding infractions.
As a result, the goals per game average rose to 6.16 in 2005-2006. The changes failed to have a permanent effect on scoring rates. The average goals per game rate has failed to exceed 6.0 since, fluctuating between 5.42 and 5.90.
This graphic shows the decrease in goals scored in modern years compared with Gretsky's years in the league
"You could say one goal today is like one-third of a win," Benesh said. "Sometimes in the [1980s] a goal was one-fifth of a win. So, it's definitely different. It made it a lot easier to score goals, it made it a lot easier to get more hat tricks in a higher scoring environment too."
Ovechkin has led the NHL in hat tricks just once, racking up two during the 38-game lockout-shortened 2013 season. But he has scored multiple hat tricks in six seasons, including this year.
Twenty-five games into the 2017-2018 season, Ovechkin has three, already matching last year's season high set by Patrik Laine of the Winnipeg Jets. With three goals against the Maple Leafs on Saturday, he passed Peter Bondra to become the Capitals franchise hat trick leader.
Despite Ovechkin's impressive start, he still remains well behind Gretzky, who reached 20 hat tricks at the age of 22, putting Ovechkin far behind the Great One's scorching pace.
No one has scored six hat tricks in a season since 1996
While Ovechkin will probably not surpass Gretzky's career hat trick record, the data suggests that Ovechkin has been hampered by lower scoring rates during his career. The Capitals winger has fallen one goal short of a hat trick 95 times in 13 seasons, with opportunities likely waning as he ages.

Germany: A 3G Love Story
In America we know the poignant narratives of the children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors, but we are less familiar with the generation of Germans whose forebears were Nazi sympathizers or turned their eyes away from the atrocities of the camps and gas chambers.
Photographer Adam Golfer aims to change this. First on a fellowship for Jewish students and then on his own, he traveled through Germany capturing the lives and the morphing national identity of the Nazi generation's grandchildren with his able lens. Himself the grandson of Holocaust survivors, Golfer's work is part of an evolving project called "Kin," which was recently on display at the 92nd Street Y in New York.
His unique perspective is intrinsic to 3G, or the third generation removed from World War II because it is informed by the awe and humor that can only come with such distance. His photos illuminate the subtleties heavy events can carry, and he focuses on how nuance imprints generations to come.
Below, my conversation with him in the Forward studios, and a tour through his arresting work:
Golfer is currently photographing cattle farms and slaughterhouses in upstate New York for a project about meat.

Abu Dhabi is eyeing double-digit annual growth in foreign direct investments through the newly established Abu Dhabi Investment Office (Adio) as the emirate continues to diversify its economy.
From 2009 to 2016, Abu Dhabi attracted Dh95 billion in foreign investments, with an average growth of 8 per cent a year, a rate which Khalifa Bin Salem Al Mansouri, the undersecretary of the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development, said he wanted to push beyond 10 per cent.
"We want to have double-digit investment growth because we believe Abu Dhabi was not really open for investment previously," Mr Al Mansouri told The National at event on Tuesday evening to mark inauguration of the new investment body. "Now the message is Abu Dhabi is open for investment; investors are welcome," he said without giving a break down of the latest annual FDI figures.

UAE working on laws to boost non-oil sector contribution to 80% by 2021
UAE leads in the race to the post-oil, knowledge-based economy
While Abu Dhabi already has a number of offices promoting investment opportunities in certain sectors, it never had a single entity to facilitate the needs of international investors under one umbrella, Mr Al Mansouri said.
Through Adio, foreign investors will be able to explore investment opportunities, conduct feasibility studies and keep abreast with the latest rules and regulations governing FDI. The office will also facilitate agreements between investors and the different government and semi-government entities in the emirate, he said.
Among the sectors that the investment body would promote to foreign investors are education, health, tourism, financial services, manufacturing and logistics - all of which are essential to government's agenda of boosting economic diversity.
"We are open to any ideas," Mr Al Mansouri said. "Entrepreneurs are welcome, institutional investors are welcome."
The emirate, like its Arabian Gulf peers has been trying to transform the economy and cut its dependence on oil revenues to fuel growth.
FDI are high on government's agenda and it is seeking partnerships with major players , especially in energy and industrial sector to boost productivity. The three-year slump in oil prices has added urgency to the government's efforts to open up and streamline foreign investments.
The Economy Minister Sultan Al Mansouri told The National in August that the draft investment law, which addresses FDIs, has been submitted to legislative bodies for approval. Once passed, it will allow foreigners to hold majority stakes, if not full ownership, in a number of industries.
The Ministry of Economy is also working on a number of regulations simultaneously to help increase productivity of the economy and boost the contribution of the non-oil sector to 80 per cent by 2021 from current around 70 per cent level.
The undersecretary of the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic development said that Abu Dhabi Investment Office was pushing for the passing of the new legislation as it would be a catalyst for an increase in foreign direct investments.

Lassie can still claim a spot as one of the longest running prime-time dramas in the history of television. The show ran for 17 seasons from 1954 to 1971 before a strange quirk caused by a new Federal Communications Commission rule resulted in Lassie moving into a new territory, that of first-run syndication, for two more seasons. While syndication has been part of the regular TV landscape since the 1950s, it's still a function of programming that not a lot people understand. Here's a look at the three main types of TV syndication, along with Lassie's strange journey from network mainstay to prime-time pariah.
To understand syndication, you have to look past the network TV mindset and consider individual stations. Although TV stations that are network affiliates can receive programming all day, there are still hours in a day that individual stations can choose to fill with other programming. Typically, those are syndicated programs; that is, programs distributed to individual stations from non-network producers or outlets. They can be anything from late-night infomercials to game shows to entertainment news programs and many points in between. Other independent stations that aren't part of a network would require more of syndicated programming to fill their broadcast day.
You're probably most familiar with "off-network syndication" or, to put it simply, reruns. Networks regularly take shows that have finished their runs and repackage them for lucrative syndication deals. Sometimes they're sold to other cable networks, like TNT or Lifetime, or streaming services. The majority of off-network syndicated shows these days go to basic cable networks. Networks used to refer to 100 episodes as "the magic number" for syndication, as the show could be packaged and sold to ensure a solid 20 weeks of weekday programming for your series, making the profits for the network much larger. Deals for shows like Friends and The Office were substantial even before they became streaming darlings. Some shows that entered syndication while they were still running new episodes experienced a surge in popularity, notably the original Law & Order.
The second type of syndication is first-run syndication — shows that were produced by independent outlets or syndicates and were then sold to stations. The Cisco Kid, which launched in 1950, was created this way. Other classics that you may recall from this era were Sea Hunt, The Abbott and Costello Show, and Highway Patrol.
Public Broadcasting Stations have their own type of syndication; producers can license shows to individual stations or groups of stations, and the stations decide when and where to run them. Whereas Sesame Street, for example, used to run at roughly the same time across most PBS stations, shows like This Old House might have appeared wherever it suited the local outlet to place it.
Syndication experienced a shift 50 years ago. That's when the FCC passed both the Prime Time Access Rule and the Financial Interest and Syndication Rules. The Financial Interest and Syndication Rules made the big TV networks separate their syndication departments into separate companies. The FCC hoped this would stimulate the production of more local programming. It didn't do that exactly; many stations were happy to buy off-network shows. However, some shows that were initially local productions, like Soul Train, exploded into national popularity as stations looked for new material.
And then there's the case of Lassie. The Prime Time Access Rule was designed to foster more competition with the Big Three networks (CBS, NBC, and ABC) by removing the 7 p.m. slot of prime time and giving it back to local stations (the networks were allowed to keep Sunday, which is why 60 Minutes, for example, still airs at 7p.m. on CBS). NBC simply shrugged and added more programs in late night. CBS, on the other hand, decided to cancel a number of shows; this led to the so-called "rural purge," in which shows that didn't cater to desirable younger demographics, like The Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres, and Mayberry R.F.D., were cancelled outright. In most cases, the shows were still popular.
For Lassie, not only was the show still popular, but it had been on the air for 17 seasons. However, with the 7 o'clock hour a loss, the network thought that moving it to a later slot would only hurt it with the youngsters the show drew. The show was "cancelled" at the network, but moved immediately over to first-run syndication where it carried on for another two seasons; it ended its 19-year run in 1973, having produced 591 total episodes. It remains one of the longest-running scripted TV dramas ever made. Another show to make the jump to first-run syndication after being cancelled by the networks in 1971 was Wild Kingdom; the former NBC nature show immediately entered syndication and ran until 1988.
The shape of syndication has continued to evolve over the years. The 1980s and 1990s were high points for first-run syndication, with shows like Star Trek: The Next Generation, Xena: Warrior Princess, and Forever Knight having successful runs. Some network-cancelled shows like Baywatch became behemoths in syndication, achieving worldwide popularity that they didn't have on-network. Animation boomed, too, with "after-school" cartoons like G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and a whole armada of Disney shows (including the two-hour Disney Afternoon block) earning massive success.
Today, most first-run programs tend toward the reality side, with talk shows, "judge shows," and game shows furthering the format. Sitcom The First Family, which launched in 2012, was the first new first-run comedy since 2000. The era of the first-run drama or comedy has shifted away from syndication and toward streaming. So has the notion of the cancelled network show moving to syndication; the long-running Criminal Minds, for example, which left the air in February of 2020, is eying a revival on Paramount+. NBC's A.P. Bio shifted from the network after two seasons to their Peacock streaming service; the show might have ended on-air, but now it's already renewed for a fourth season.
The way in which we take in television is constantly evolving. The entire notion of syndication already seems almost quaint by today's standards. The strange case of Lassie, in which a successful show is forced out of its TV home by a quirk of FCC rules, does more to underline how the networks face a number of regulations and unspoken traditions that the streamers don't have to follow. Streaming content can be more mature or more specifically targeted to particular groups. With no particular run-time to conform to, individual episodes can be longer or shorter to fit the needs of the story. More tellingly, Netflix has roughly 200 million subscribers, and Disney+ is pushing 95 million after a little over a year of operation, while broadcast network ratings continue to erode. Broadcast TV isn't going away anytime soon, but it's not unthinkable to imagine that the regular networks, like Lassie, might eventually get sent to the farm.

If and when a COVID-19 vaccine is cleared for younger children, North Carolina's schools should add it to the list of required immunizations.
Last week, I was one of thousands of parents in North Carolina who dropped off a kindergartener at one of our state's public schools.
Because the Delta variant of COVID-19 continues to plague us, orientation was held on the steps outside.
We put public education first. Subscribe to the free Cardinal & Pine newsletter here.
It's August in North Carolina, so it was a sweaty business. The principal, donning a full-body costume of the school's bulldog mascot, greeted the children with high-fives.
"Parents, we WILL take care of your children," he told us later after shedding the costume.
In other words, we know you're nervous. But you gotta go. Kindergarten drop-off is already wrapped up in emotions. Doing it during a pandemic takes it to another level.
We ask a lot of our schools, the teachers, the support staff, bus drivers. We ask that they ready our children for a big, bold changing world. We ask that they work long days (and, occasionally, long nights).
But at the bottom of our "ask" for schools is that they take care of our children. That they're going to keep our children safe.
Never in my lifetime has that "ask" been bigger than it is these days.
This Isn't Political
On Sunday morning, the nation's foremost immunologist, Dr. Anthony Fauci, told CNN's Jake Tapper that if and when a COVID vaccine is cleared for children younger than 12 , a vaccine mandate in our public schools is a "good idea."
Vaccine mandates are being considered all over these days. The Associated Press reported last week that vaccination will be required of our military. Last week, President Biden pleaded with private employers to do the same. It is inevitable that a mandate for schoolchildren will be discussed.
Fauci acknowledged the idea will anger some. But if medical research finds the vaccine to be safe and effective the pros will far outstrip the cons.
"This is not something new," Fauci added Sunday. "We have mandates in many places in schools, particularly public schools, that if in fact you want a child to come in — we've done this for decades and decades requiring (vaccines for) polio, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis," he said. "So this would not be something new, requiring vaccinations for children to come to school."
And he's right. In North Carolina, parents are required by state law to give proof of numerous immunizations — including polio, measles, mumps, and rubella — within the first 30 days of school.
If a suitable COVID-19 vaccine is found for children younger than 12, and there is every reason to believe one will be cleared by year's end, North Carolina's Public Health Commission should add it to the list.
No question. Anything else is political, and politics has no place in this.
The commission — which is appointed by the NC Medical Society and Gov. Roy Cooper — considered a vaccine mandate in schools this month, but opted not to at this time. But with dozens of North Carolina school systems rejecting mask requirements in the midst of a resurgent COVID-19, they will be under mounting pressure this fall to act.
They should heed that pressure.
To this point, the vaccines cleared in the U.S. have been extraordinarily effective. Policymakers on both the right and the left have called on North Carolinians to get their shot. For the most part, vaccines keep folks out of the hospital. They keep folks safe. The NC Department of Health and Human Services found this year that unvaccinated people were 15 times more likely to die of COVID-19 than the unvaccinated.
And North Carolina's intensive care units are filling up these days with the unvaccinated, not the vaccinated. The vaccine might not always prevent us from catching the virus, but it does make it highly unlikely the virus would land us in the hospital.
Some folks will say this is a complex issue. The science is complex. The reality is not. Vaccines make us safer.
And that above all is what we want when we send our children off to school.

Seeing and perceiving the world through color is crucial to our perception of it. If a product's color isn't attractive, you might assume that it doesn't deserve your attention. Scientists have proven that colors affect how we perceive things, which is why we see things differently. Branding experts use color psychology to create labels for products. They use information about color psychology strategically to select colors. This is why it is essential to consider the color labels like custom wine labels while planning a good strategy. A few tips on how color labels influence consumer purchases and how to use them on your label to increase sales are provided here.
Contrast between colors
To help consumers read the information on your label without putting strain on their eyes, your label should be easy to read. You can accomplish this by using light/dark contrast between the color of the text and the background of your website. A light/dark contrast is beneficial for small letters, as it improves the readability of labels.
Choosing the right color for your label and brand
A label's color should match elements such as the logo, designs, themes, and others in the brand. But how does color influence purchases? Customers will easily recognize your product when you use your brand's colors consistently throughout your labels, like the custom wine labels. In a supermarket full of different products, your product has a good chance of catching the consumer's attention. Furthermore, your customer will remember your product more quickly when it has a more significant impact. Your products can eventually be selected over competitor's products by those influenced by this system.
A Study of Color Psychology & the Nature of Products
You can convey to your customers that your products are environmentally friendly by using green labels. Environmentally friendly products are commonly referred to as green colors. In addition to causing a slight increase in blood pressure, red can increase appetite, making it a good choice for food products because it increases appetite. For practical purposes, there are a few specific color codes for labels in the Pharmaceutical industry to distinguish the chemical composition of a particular drug.
Brand associations with colors
The use of pink by Breast Cancer Awareness is an excellent example of brands making effective use of color. Due to its widespread use worldwide in this context, pink is commonly associated with Breast Cancer Awareness. The famous A&W brand is also recognizable for its orange and brown coloring. Yellow on McDonald's, white on Apple, and blue on Wal-Mart are excellent examples of brands using specific colors to establish automatic associations.
What Is The Relationship Between Color Psychology And Consumer Emotions?
Color is the most common reason shoppers choose a certain product, and 85% say it's the most important one. No, not really, when you actually take the time to understand color psychology and custom wine labels.
Any buyer considering any product will consider color as a top consideration, and it has the power to make or break their decision. Apart from being a catalyst, colors can trigger deep emotions, so that apart from aiding brand recall, they can help you control the focus and attention of your buyers. Through the correct use of colors, you can communicate messages, evoke feelings, and make a real impact on visitors' buying decisions.
What Colors Are Best For A Call To Action?
When it comes to a call to action, red is the best color because it's about action and doing things NOW. It is not necessary. Though red can be a fantastic color to use with your call to action (CTA), and many companies use it for this purpose, it's not the only color option you have for a CTA button, nor is it the best.

When you are trying to store your Warhammer minis, you want to use the best method. Recently, magnetizing your miniatures and storing them on a baking tray has been becoming more popular because it is sturdy and doesn't do much, or any, damage to your miniatures.
It is important to make sure you have the right size magnet to ensure that the miniature is stable during storage. Since some miniatures are different sizes than others, it is likely that you will need multiple different sizes.
You will want to have several different size magnets to make sure you always have one for your miniature. You should consider sizes like 1/16×1/32, 1/16×1/16 if the 1/32 isn't strong enough, 1/8×1/16 for 25mm and 32mm bases, 1/8×1/10 for 40mm bases, and 1/8×1/8.
What Kind of Magnets Are Used for Miniatures?
There are so many different kinds of magnets available which can make it difficult to make sure you are using the right kind for what you need. Rare Earth are going to be the best kind of magnets that you can use for your miniatures.
Rare Earth Magnets are different than ones that you can just pick up at the grocery store. These magnets are much stronger than regular magnets. Due to their strength, they also have the ability to be really small. Their size makes them perfect for miniatures.
You will be able to find this extra-strength magnets in a hobby shop or online. It is really important to keep in mind that these magnets are so strong they can damage electronics, so make sure you don't have any electronics around when you are working with them.
If you plan on transporting your miniatures, you will need to choose a magnet that will keep them sturdy and prevent them from falling over when you hit bumps in the road.
Rare Earth Magnets are perfect for transportation because they will prevent your miniatures from wiggling and falling over.
To check the current price and availability of The Army Painter Rare Earth Magnets for Miniatures, click here to view the listing on Amazon.
What Magnets Should I Use for Warhammer?
There are two popular magnet types that you can use for your Warhammer miniatures. First is the Rare Earth Magnets.
These are permanent, strong magnets that are developed using rare-earth elements. They are the strongest permanent magnets made and will definitely keep your miniatures sturdy.
There are two different types of Rare Earth Magnets. You have neodymium and samarium-cobalt. Both are great options, so whichever you can find will work best.
While they are the strongest, they are also pretty brittle and prone to corrosion. This means they will usually be coated or plated for protection.
The other popular types of magnets that you can use for your Warhammer miniatures are K&J Magnetics magnets. These magnets are going to be very small, so they are great for altering your miniatures as much as possible. Though they are small, they are sturdy and will keep your miniatures in place during storage.
K&J Magnetics has magnets that are also made with neodymium, like Rare Earth Magnets. This means they are also incredibly strong and will hold your miniatures firmly in place during regular storage and when you transport them.
They will also be coated to make them less brittle and protect them from any corrosion they might experience.
How Do You Magnetize Your Warhammer Minis?
Magnetizing your miniatures is the process of integrating a magnet into your miniatures or gluing them to the base.
Before you magnetize your Warhammer miniatures, you will need to make sure you have all of the right tools for the process.
Make sure you have plenty of magnets for your miniatures. You will mostly want disc magnets, but you can also use ring or ball magnets. You don't want the magnet to be visible, so get ones that are small and can't be seen.
You will also need a tool to make holes in your miniatures for the magnet to sit in. Stay away from power drills and dremels because they will move too quickly and ruin your model. The tool you want for this is called a pin vise.
This is a very small, cylindrical hand drill that allows you to control the speed and pressure to prevent ruining your miniature.
Finally, you will need something to hold the magnet in place in the hole. Superglue will work just fine for this. When you have all of the necessary tools for the project, you can get started by making the hole in the bottom of the miniature.
After you have your hole, add a drop of glue inside. Now you are ready to add the magnet into the hole. You can do this with a hobby knife that you have sitting around that can help you position the magnet and push it in the hole.
You will also want to have something plastic handy to hold the magnet in the hole while you remove the hobby knife.
You don't want to use your finger to hold the magnet in place while you remove the knife because you can end up with the magnet glued to your finger. If you don't have anything plastic, you can also consider using a toothpick or a popsicle stick.
The biggest mistake that will be made in this process is putting the magnet in the wrong way. It is incredibly important to make sure you have the proper, negative or positive, side of the magnet facing out.
The easiest way to do this is marking the right side of the magnet with a marker so you can clearly see that you have the proper side out.
How Do Magnets Attach to Miniatures?
If your miniatures are metal, you don't have to worry about making a hole in them and gluing the magnet inside. The magnet will easily attach to the bottom of the miniature, and you can remove it when you are ready to use that miniature.
If you have a plastic miniature, you will need to put a hole in it and glue the magnet inside the hole. You can also glue the magnet directly to the bottom of the miniature, but this isn't ideal.
It can make your miniatures difficult to stand up on non-metal surfaces. Glue also has the tendency to come off, and if the magnet is just on the surface, you can lose it.
Final Thoughts
Storing Warhammer miniatures with magnets and a magnetic surface is a great way to keep them organized. You will want to make sure you use the right kind of magnet and apply it properly for the best results with the magnet.
If your miniatures are metal, you should be able to stick the magnet right to your miniature and remove it when you are ready to use it. If your miniatures are plastic, you will need to add a small hole and glue the magnet to the inside of the hole.
It is important to use a very strong magnet to ensure the strongest hold and prevent your miniatures from falling over and breaking if you need to transport them. The most popular magnets for this job are Rare Earth Magnets because they are some of the strongest magnets you can buy.
