  • THE IMPACT of STATE V. SWINTON on the AUTHENTICATION of DIGITAL IMAGES∗
    File: Guthrie.362.GALLEY(f).doc Created on: 9/21/2007 3:34:00 PM Last Printed: 9/26/2007 9:54:00 AM THE SWINTON SIX: THE IMPACT OF STATE v. SWINTON ON THE AUTHENTICATION OF DIGITAL IMAGES∗ Catherine Guthrie∗∗ Brittan Mitchell∗∗∗ I. INTRODUCTION “[T]he machine does not isolate man from the great problems of nature but plunges him more deeply into them.”1 Nowhere is this more apparent than in the struggle between rules of law and scientific and technological advances. Our court system’s response to this challenge is scrutiny and adaptability, two traits evidenced by the ebb and flow of requirements for authentication of digital images. This Article examines the evolution of authentication re- quirements for digital images, with particular emphasis on the impact of State v. Swinton.2 Part II of this Article provides an overview of digital images as well as the general rationale for their authentication. Part III reviews past statutory and common law rules for establishing the authenticity of such evidence. Part IV summarizes Swinton, a 2004 case from Connecticut which represents a major development in this area of law. Part V ap- plies the holding from Swinton to a new type of digital evidence, virtual autopsies, in a theoretical context. The Article concludes in Part VI. ∗ © 2007, Catherine Guthrie and Brittan Mitchell.

  • Lakes a to Z Help Guide
    Main Office & Service Center 1-866-437-8076 • www.medoraco.com 3225 Highway 22, Dickinson, ND 58601 Lakes A to Z Help Guide Introduction and Legalities. Below is information on key words for lakes (in alphabetical order) with the purpose to give lay people a basic understanding of lakes based on Medora’s experience. Medora is grateful to the many researchers whose papers contributed to lake science, and is sorry that the nature of this document does not allow for individual credits to be given. Please let Medora know if you would like to see terms corrected, improved, or added. Medora's lake knowledge is based partly on study, but also strongly on field work. Since 2002, Medora’s US field crews have performed more actual lake water quality tests, on thousands of water bodies, with boats and instruments, than any other organization we know of in the world. Medora's lake machines, SolarBee˚ (larger, spacing to 35 acres each) and Aeration Plus˚ (smaller, spacing to 5 acres each), are now successful in 450 lakes, storm water ponds, reuse ponds, and other fresh water bodies in the US and various other countries. These water bodies range in size from 1- 10,000 acres, with some machines deployed for full lake treatment and others for partial lake treatment. They include an estimated 200 raw water reservoirs that supply water treatment plants, some over 40 MGD. The mechanisms for this success are shown below at the term "circulation". Medora estimates that its experience and success rate is 15X higher than any other method of lake restoration worldwide, which is usually defined as the reduction or elimination of cyanobacteria blooms, aka blue-green algae blooms, harmful algae blooms, or HABs.

    For Immediate Release Contacts: Margery Flax, MWA, 212-888-8171, [email protected] Meryl Zegarek Public Relations, 917-493-3601, [email protected] Mystery Writers of America Announces 2014 Grand Masters Robert Crais and Carolyn Hart Plus 2014 Raven Award Winner Wednesday, December 4, 2013, New York, NY – Robert Crais and Carolyn Hart have been chosen as the 2014 Grand Masters by Mystery Writers of America (MWA). MWA's Grand Master Award represents the pinnacle of achievement in mystery writing and was established to acknowledge important contributions to this genre, as well as for a body of work that is both significant and of consistent high quality. Mr. Crais and Ms. Hart will be presented with their awards at the Edgar Awards Banquet, which will be held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City on Thursday, May 1, 2014. When told of being named a Grand Master, Crais said, "I am happy, proud, and more than a little humbled to be chosen for this high honor by Mystery Writers of America. The list of Grand Masters is a list of my literary heroes. I may never accept that my name is now on this list, but I will be forever grateful for the kindness and generosity of MWA for placing me among these esteemed writers." Robert Crais hails from a blue-collar family in Louisiana. In 1976, after years of amateur film-making and short story writing, he moved to Hollywood and found work as a screenwriter, crafting scripts for such major TV crime shows as Hill Street Blues, Cagney & Lacey, and Miami Vice.

    THE MAYAN AND OTHER ANCIENT CALENDARS PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Geoff Stray | 64 pages | 16 Oct 2007 | Wooden Books | 9781904263609 | English | Powys, United Kingdom The Mayan Calendar | Calendars Four days per month were dedicated to Ahura Mazda and seven were named after the six Amesha Spentas. Three were dedicated to the female divinities, Daena yazata of religion and personified conscious , Ashi yazata of fortune and Arshtat justice. The Parthians Arsacid dynasty adopted the same calendar system with minor modifications, and dated their era from BC, the date they succeeded the Seleucids. Their names for the months and days are Parthian equivalents of the Avestan ones used previously, differing slightly from the Middle Persian names used by the Sassanians. When in April of AD the Parthian dynasty fell and was replaced by the Sasanid, the new king, Ardashir I , abolished the official Babylonian calendar and replaced it with the Zoroastrian. This involved a correction to the places of the gahanbar , which had slipped back in the seasons since they were fixed. These were placed eight months later, as were the epagemonai , the 'Gatha' or 'Gah' days after the ancient Zoroastrian hymns of the same name. Other countries, such as the Armenians and Choresmians, did not accept the change. Toghril Beg , the founder of the Seljuq dynasty , had made Esfahan the capital of his domains and his grandson Malik-Shah was the ruler of that city from Other leading astronomers were also brought to the Observatory in Esfahan and for 18 years Khayyam led the scientists and produced work of outstanding quality. During this time Khayyam led work on compiling astronomical tables and he also contributed to calendar reform in Cowell quotes the Calcutta Review No When the Malik Shah determined to reform the calendar, Omar was one of the eight learned men employed to do it, the result was the Jalali era so called from Jalal-ud-din, one of the king's names - 'a computation of time,' says Gibbon, 'which surpasses the Julian, and approaches the accuracy of the Gregorian style.

    ELECTRUM * Vol. 27 (2020): 117–130 doi: 10.4467/20800909EL.20.006.12796 www.ejournals.eu/electrum Athenian ‘Imperialism’ in the Aegean Sea in the 4th Century BCE: The Case of Keos* Wojciech Duszyński http:/orcid.org/0000-0002-9939-039X Jagiellonian University in Kraków Abstract: This article concerns the degree of direct involvement in the Athenian foreign policy in the 4th century BC. One of main questions debated by scholars is whether the Second Athe- nian Sea League was gradually evolving into an arche, to eventually resemble the league of the previous century. The following text contributes to the scholarly debate through a case study of relations between Athens and poleis on the island of Keos in 360s. Despite its small size, Keos included four settlements having the status of polis: Karthaia, Poiessa, Koresia and Ioulis, all members of the Second Athenian League. Around year 363/2 (according to the Attic calendar), anti-Athenian riots, usually described as revolts, erupted on Keos, to be quickly quelled by the strategos Chabrias. It is commonly assumed that the Athenians used the uprising to interfere di- rectly in internal affairs on the island, enforcing the dissolution of the local federation of poleis. However, my analysis of selected sources suggests that such an interpretation cannot be readily defended: in fact, the federation on Keos could have broken up earlier, possibly without any ex- ternal intervention. In result, it appears that the Athenians did not interfere in the local affairs to such a degree as it is often accepted. Keywords: Athens, Keos, Koresia, Karthaia, Poiessa, Ioulis, Aegean, 4th century BC, Second Athenian League, Imperialism.
