An ambitious young detective was always first on the scene of the crimes, but was his enthusiasm for the crimes something more?

In July of 1978, a young French woman named Karine was shot in Pont-Sainte-Maxence as she was leaving a movie theater. She managed to make a recovery, though she could not give an identification of her attacker. However, several days later, the French gendarme received a note from the attacker, claiming that Karine knew him and that he would strike again.

“Karine knows me but she can never make the connection,” the note read. “A 17-year-old girl, who roams the night, is a target I particularly like. Next time I will aim for the heart…”

The gendarme would be thrown for a loop for the next several months as more and more women were attacked, and one eventually murdered. Little did they know that their search efforts were futile, as the man leading them was, in fact, the man they were looking for.

Though Constable Alain Lamare was the man that the gendarme was looking for, it would be months before anyone realized it. Through a movie-like series of events, simple search methods would fall by the wayside and the most basic of details would go unchecked. It wasn’t until a year after the first attack that the first clue would be noticed.

Alain Lamare was good at what he did. His training as a military man before joining the police gave him a highly honed skill set. His job as a constable gave him access to information and a certain amount of unspoken immunity. He kept ahead of his crimes by simply getting to the scene before anyone else.

To his fellow detectives, he simply appeared an overzealous young constable, determined to solve crimes before his peers. In reality, he was covering them up.

The car from which Karine had been shot was reported stolen. Lamare had hidden it in a lot not far from the scene and when he heard that the detectives were looking for it, went back and loaded it with explosives. When the detectives found it and opened the door, it exploded, effectively ruining all trace evidence. He would do the same to several more vehicles he used, even opening the door of one of them himself to make it look like he had no idea.

In the months following Karine’s attack, two more women found themselves victims as well. Unfortunately, none of them had recognized their attacker and went on to incorrectly identify a different man in a lineup. Lamare took this to mean that he was getting away with what he was doing, and at that point chose to escalate.

In December of 1978, Alain Lamare attacked another young woman, a 19-year-old named Yolande. She ended up dying from her wounds, officially making him a murderer. Still riding high on his previous success in staying under the radar, Lamare sent another letter to the gendarme, bragging about his crimes.

“Beware of the hunted and injured animal, it can become very dangerous,” he wrote. “I have nothing to lose and I will prove it. (…) I am used to blood and horror and I will make you enjoy it.”

Unbeknownst to Lamare, however, a group of gendarme was collecting intel on him. Several of them had begun to notice that every time there was a new lead on the attacker, Lamare was first on the scene. They also noticed that the attacker’s letters were written in the same style as Lamare’s police notes and in nearly identical handwriting.

The team quickly realized that Lamare was also a gun enthusiast and had knowledge of the inner workings of cars. When the team shared their findings with their superiors, an arrest warrant was drawn up immediately. The team realized that the superiors had been collecting info on Lamare for months, after realizing his enthusiasm for the cases may have been something more.

Upon being arrested, Lamare attempted to fight back but was subdued.

“You did well to handcuff me,” he shouted, “otherwise I would have shot you all!”

A search of Alain Lamare’s apartment showed a list of names, people who he intended to be his next victims. The gendarme submitted the list and the little evidence they had to the courts, which declared Lamare legally insane and therefore not responsible for his actions. He was sentenced to life in a psychiatric asylum.

However, in order for the gendarme’s name not to be tainted, the department drew up papers that made it look as though Alain Lamare had resigned. Unfortunately, Lamare refused to sign them. While he is incarcerated for life and under full psychiatric watch, he remains a fully qualified gendarme.

Next, check out Vlado Taneski, a journalist who reported on his own crimes. Then, check out the Golden State Killer.

Lesson: Introduction to Cryptography

**Objective:** In this lesson, we will learn about cryptography, which is the practice of securing information by converting it into a code that can only be deciphered by someone who has the correct key. We will explore the history of cryptography, its importance, and the different types of encryption methods.

**Section 1: Introduction**

Cryptography has been used for centuries to protect sensitive information. From ancient civilizations to modern times, people have used cryptography to keep their messages private and secure. Today, cryptography is used to protect financial transactions, military communications, and personal information.

**Section 2: History of Cryptography**

The history of cryptography can be traced back to ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Greece, and Rome. They used simple techniques like substitution ciphers to encode messages. During World War II, cryptography became more sophisticated with the development of the Enigma machine, which was used by the Germans to encrypt messages. Today, cryptography is used in computers and smartphones to protect data.

**Section 3: Importance of Cryptography**

Cryptography is essential because it helps protect our privacy and security. It ensures that our personal information, financial transactions, and military communications remain confidential. Without cryptography, anyone could intercept and read our messages, steal our identities, or access our bank accounts.

**Section 4: Types of Encryption Methods**

There are two main types of encryption methods: symmetric and asymmetric. Symmetric encryption uses the same key to encrypt and decrypt messages. Asymmetric encryption uses a pair of keys, one to encrypt and the other to decrypt messages. This method is also known as public-key cryptography.

**Section 5: Practical Examples**

Symmetric encryption is commonly used to protect credit card transactions. When you make a purchase online, the credit card company uses symmetric encryption to ensure that your information is safe. Asymmetric encryption is used to sign digital documents, such as software updates or legal contracts. This method ensures that the document has not been tampered with and that the sender is who they claim to be.

**Section 6: Conclusion**

Cryptography is an essential tool for protecting our privacy and security. By learning about the history, importance, and different types of encryption methods, we can better understand how to keep our information safe. As technology advances, cryptography will continue to play a vital role in keeping our data confidential.

David Ashburn is closing in on title glory in the Avon Tyres British GT Championship after Trackspeed Porsche scored a convincing 1-2 finish following an incident-packed opening race at Brands Hatch today (Sunday).

There was drama even before the race began, as the pole-sitting Ascari of David Jones and the Trackspeed Porsches of Ashburn and Philip Walker started from the pit lane.

This gifted pole position to the Aston Marton DBRS9 of Andrew Howard, who maintained his advantage off the start line as Duncan Cameron's Mtech Ferrari - the main championship rival to Ashburn - held second. The Ferrari 430 of Hector Lester made up a position to assume third, ahead of the Ferraris of Chris Hyman and Phil Burton.

The race was quickly interrupted by a safety car period however, when Hyman tagged Lester into a spin whilst making an ambitious move for third at Clearways. Both drivers were pitched into the gravel trap and out of the race, with Lester hitting the tyre wall.

At the restart, Howard's Aston held position and remained in front until the pit window opened on lap 13. Cameron looked set to maintain second place until the car suddenly slowed and the team was forced to change a tyre during its pit stop.

The woes of Lester, Hyman and Cameron meant Paul Warren's Chad Racing lay second as it pitted, ahead of Phil Burton's Ferrari and the Jones Ascari. Paul Whight's Aston Martin and Philip Walker's Trackspeed Porsche were also placed within the top eight.

After a flurry of pit stops, an impressive effort from the Jones brothers catapulted their Ascari into the lead following the driver changeover. Tom Ferrier took over from Paul Warren to steer the Chad Racing Ferrari back into the race in second position, whilst Howard's Aston Martin - now in the hands of Leo Machitski - dropped back to third.

However, the leading trio soon hit drama, with Ferrier the first to be affected when he was called back to the pits for a 28 second stop/go penalty after speeding in the pit lane. During its stop, the Ferrari's radiator overheated and the squad was forced to retire.

Woes also hit Machitski, who spun away from third whilst battling with Adam Wilcox's Ferrari and dropped down the order. Just six laps later, the leading Ascari of the Jones brothers pulled off at Stirlings with a collapsed suspension.

During this time, Wilcox also lost out on the chance of victory after being ordered to serve a one second stop-go penalty for a pit lane infringement, which left the Trackspeed Porsche of Glynn Geddie - who took over from championship leader David Ashburn - free to inherit the lead following various incidents ahead of him.

With Geddie free to cruise home to the chequered flag, fellow pit lane starter Richard Westbrook carved his way through to second in the sister Trackspeed Porsche.

The Mtech Ferrari of Matt Griffin looked set for third until the car slowed on the penultimate lap with a broken driveshaft - eventually crawling across the line in sixth.

Griffin's misfortune promoted Paul Whight and Michael Bentwood's Aston Martin into the final podium spot, whilst a charging Adam Wilcox recovered from his penalty to take fourth.

Andrew Howard and Leo Machitski's Aston Martin eventually finished fifth, with Freddie and Ben Hetherington the quickest G4 car in overall seventh after the rival Ginetta G50 of Speedworks Jamie Stanley and Christian Dick was issued with a drive through penalty for overtaking under the safety car.

There was also a retirement for the Piranha Motorsport Lotus 2 Eleven, which suffered engine problems and will take no further part in the weekend.

Lesson: Introduction to Abstract Algebra

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Abstract algebra is the study of algebraic structures such as groups, rings, and fields. It generalizes the concepts of algebra to include more generalized elements. In this lesson, we will cover the basics of abstract algebra, including groups, rings, and fields.

**Definition: Group**
A group is a set of elements that can be combined to form a new element using an operation. The operation must satisfy the following properties:

1. Closure: The result of the operation on any two elements in the set is also in the set.
2. Associativity: The order of the operation does not matter.
3. Identity: There exists an identity element that, when combined with any other element in the set, results in the original element.
4. Inverse: For each element in the set, there exists an inverse element that, when combined with the original element, results in the identity element.

**Example:** The set of integers under addition is a group. The closure property holds because the sum of any two integers is also an integer. The associativity property holds because addition is commutative. The identity element is 0, and the inverse of any integer n is -n.

**Definition: Ring**
A ring is a set of elements with two operations: addition and multiplication. The operations must satisfy the following properties:

1. Closure: The result of the operation on any two elements in the set is also in the set.
2. Associativity: The order of the operation does not matter.
3. Identity: There exists an identity element for both addition and multiplication.
4. Distributive: Multiplication by an element in the set distributes over addition.
5. Inverse: For each element in the set, there exists an inverse element that, when combined with the original element, results in the identity element.

**Example:** The set of integers under addition and multiplication is a ring. The closure properties hold because the sum and product of any two integers are also integers. The identity elements for addition and multiplication are 0 and 1, respectively. The inverse of any integer n is -n for addition and n^(-1) for multiplication.

**Definition: Field**
A field is a set of elements that is also a ring, but with one additional property: every non-zero element has an inverse.

**Example:** The set of rational numbers under addition and multiplication is a field. Every non-zero rational number has an inverse, except for 0 itself.

### Section 2: Practical Examples

Now that we have covered the theoretical concepts of groups, rings, and fields, let's look at some practical examples.

**Example:** The set of all square matrices of size 2x2 over the complex numbers is a group under matrix multiplication. The identity element is the 1x1 matrix [1,0], and the inverse of any matrix A is its transpose, A^(-1) = [a,b].

**Example:** The set of all polynomials with integer coefficients under polynomial addition is a ring. The identity element is the constant polynomial 0, and the inverse of a polynomial P(x) is its reverse, P(x)^(-1) = 1/P(x).

**Example:** The set of all functions from the set {1,2} to itself under function composition is a group. The identity function is the identity element, and the inverse of a function f is its inverse function, f^(-1)(x) = f(x).

### Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions

Now that we have covered the theoretical concepts and practical examples of abstract algebra, let's engage in some self-debating discussions to further our understanding of the subject.

**Debate:** Is the set of all integers under addition and multiplication a field?

**Argument for:** Yes, the set of all integers under addition and multiplication is a field. Every non-zero integer has an inverse, except for 0 itself, which is the additive identity.

**Argument against:** No, the set of all integers under addition and multiplication is not a field. The multiplicative inverse of 0 is 1, but there is no additive inverse for 0.

### Glossary

- Group: A set of elements that can be combined to form a new element using an operation.
- Ring: A set of elements with two operations: addition and multiplication.
- Field: A set of elements that is also a ring, but with one additional property: every non-zero element has an inverse.
- Identity element: An element that, when combined with any other element in the set, results in the original element.
- Inverse element: An element that, when combined with the original element, results in the identity element.
- Closure: The result of the operation on any two elements in the set is also in the set.
- Associativity: The order of the operation does not matter.
- Distributive: Multiplication by an element in the set distributes over addition.

Lesson: The Importance of Media Ownership Rules

Introduction:
Media ownership rules are important because they regulate the number of media outlets that a single company can own. These rules aim to prevent media monopolies and ensure that there is a diverse range of voices and opinions represented in the media. In this lesson, we will explore the history of media ownership rules, their impact on society, and the current debate surrounding them.

Section 1: The History of Media Ownership Rules

Media ownership rules have a long history in the United States. The first laws regulating media ownership were passed in the early 20th century in response to the growth of radio broadcasting. These laws were designed to prevent a single company from controlling too much of the airwaves.

In the 1990s, the Telecommunications Act was passed, which deregulated the media industry and allowed for greater consolidation among media companies. This led to a wave of mergers and acquisitions, resulting in fewer media outlets being owned by fewer companies.

Section 2: The Impact of Media Ownership Rules

Media ownership rules are important because they impact the information that people receive. When one company owns multiple media outlets, there is a risk that the same message will be repeated across different platforms, limiting the range of ideas and opinions that people are exposed to.

Additionally, media ownership rules can impact local communities. When a single company owns multiple media outlets in a single market, there is a risk that the company may prioritize profits over providing important information to the community.

Section 3: The Current Debate Surrounding Media Ownership Rules

The current debate surrounding media ownership rules centers around the revised rules proposed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 2003. These rules would allow for greater consolidation among media companies, leading to concerns that media monopolies could form.

There is bipartisan opposition to these revised rules, with many arguing that they would stifle diversity in the media and limit the range of ideas and opinions that people are exposed to. Additionally, some argue that the revised rules could harm local communities by prioritizing profit over providing important information.

Conclusion:

Media ownership rules are an important tool for ensuring that there is a diverse range of voices and opinions represented in the media. While the current debate surrounding media ownership rules is focused on the revised rules proposed by the FCC in 2003, it is clear that media ownership rules will continue to be an important topic in the future. By understanding the history of media ownership rules and their impact on society, we can better understand the importance of these rules and the current debate surrounding them.

text: BALTIMORE -- A former National Security Administration employee accused of mishandling classified information will be in court for an unusual hearing.. Federal prosecutors want Thomas Drake's lawyers to disclose the names of their expert consultants months before trial. They say that's a necessary step if the experts want access to classified information.. But Drake's lawyers contend they don't have to share the names of their experts unless they plan to have the experts testify. A hearing on the issue is set for Monday afternoon.. Drake was charged after an investigation into leaks of classified information to a newspaper. It's a rare case because he's charged with violating espionage laws without being accused of spying.. His supporters claim he's being punished for blowing the whistle on inefficiencies and mismanagement at the NSA.

Lesson: Introduction to Espionage Laws and Whistleblowing

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Espionage laws are a set of legal statutes that govern the collection, protection, and dissemination of classified information by the government. These laws are designed to protect national security and prevent unauthorized individuals from accessing sensitive information. Whistleblowing refers to the act of revealing information that is deemed to be in the public interest, usually by someone who has inside knowledge of the information.

### Section 2: Questions and Answers

1. What is the purpose of espionage laws?
Answer: The purpose of espionage laws is to protect national security and prevent unauthorized individuals from accessing sensitive information.

2. What is whistleblowing?
Answer: Whistleblowing refers to the act of revealing information that is deemed to be in the public interest, usually by someone who has inside knowledge of the information.

3. Can you give an example of a whistleblower?
Answer: One famous example of a whistleblower is Edward Snowden, who revealed information about the NSA's surveillance programs.

### Section 3: Definitions and Practical Examples

Espionage: The act of obtaining or passing on secret or confidential information for the benefit of an individual or organization.

Classified Information: Information that is marked as confidential or top secret and is only accessible to authorized individuals.

Whistleblowing: The act of revealing information that is deemed to be in the public interest, usually by someone who has inside knowledge of the information.

Practical Example: If an employee of a company discovers that the company is engaging in fraudulent activities, they may choose to blow the whistle on the company. This would involve revealing the information to the appropriate authorities, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and providing evidence to support their claims.

### Section 4: Real-World Scenarios

Real-World Scenario: In 2013, Edward Snowden leaked classified information about the NSA's surveillance programs. He argued that the programs were unconstitutional and violated the rights of American citizens. As a result, he was charged with violating espionage laws.

Discussion: The Snowden case is an example of a whistleblower revealing information that they believed to be in the public interest. However, the government argued that his actions were not protected under whistleblower laws because he did not follow proper channels for reporting the information. This case highlights the complex nature of espionage laws and the challenges that whistleblowers face when revealing sensitive information.

### Glossary

Espionage: The act of obtaining or passing on secret or confidential information for the benefit of an individual or organization.

Classified Information: Information that is marked as confidential or top secret and is only accessible to authorized individuals.

Whistleblowing: The act of revealing information that is deemed to be in the public interest, usually by someone who has inside knowledge of the information.

### Conclusion

In conclusion, espionage laws and whistleblowing are complex legal issues that require careful consideration. While whistleblowers may believe that they are acting in the public interest, their actions can also have serious consequences. It is essential to understand the laws and procedures for reporting information to ensure that individuals can act in a responsible and legally protected manner.

Lesson: Introduction to Space Assets and their Applications

**Introduction:** In this lesson, we will learn about space assets and their applications in different industries. We will cover the basics of satellite communication and integrated applications, as well as the programs that support entrepreneurs and startups in these fields.

**Section 1: What are Space Assets?**
Space assets refer to any man-made object that is designed to operate in space or perform tasks related to space exploration. These can include satellites, rockets, space probes, and even space stations. Space assets are used for a variety of purposes, such as communication, navigation, weather forecasting, and scientific research.

**Section 2: Satellite Communication**
Satellite communication involves transmitting data or information between a satellite and a ground station. This can be done using radio waves, which can travel long distances without losing much of their strength. Satellite communication is used for many purposes, such as television broadcasting, telephone calls, and internet access.

**Section 3: Integrated Applications**
Integrated applications refer to the use of multiple space assets in combination with each other to provide new or improved services in non-space markets. For example, a satellite can be used to provide internet access to remote areas, while also collecting data on weather patterns or crop growth. This data can then be used to improve agricultural practices or predict natural disasters.

**Section 4: Programs for Entrepreneurs and Startups**
There are several programs that support entrepreneurs and startups in the field of space assets and their applications. One such program is the ESA Business Incubation Centre in Portugal, which provides funding and support for entrepreneurs who want to use space assets to create innovative businesses in other sectors. Another program is the ESA Ambassador Platform for Satcom & Integrated Applications Promotion, which funds demonstrator and feasibility study projects that use satellite communication or integrated applications to generate new or improve existing services in non-space markets.

**Conclusion:** In this lesson, we have learned about space assets and their applications in different industries. We have covered the basics of satellite communication and integrated applications, as well as the programs that support entrepreneurs and startups in these fields. By understanding the potential of space assets, we can apply these skills to new problems and develop innovative solutions that can change the world.

Serie A: New logo, new social

By Football Italia staff

Serie A has announced the launch of a new logo and new social channels – but it has not gone down well with fans.

Serie A unveiled its rebranding on Wednesday, with a clear focus on the A aspect of its naming.

Its new tagline ‘Appassionante, Avvincente, Adrenalinica’ - translating into ‘Exciting, Engaging, Adrenaline-pumping’ - consists of alliteration with the letter A.

Furthermore, the League’s new logo stems from ‘a desire to give centrality to the A’, which is ‘a universally-distinctive element of our League’.

“A fresh look, which gives an immediate impact, featuring the colours of the Italian flag, prestige of gold and authority of A, while reaffirming our solid and renewed relationship with TIM,” read a Press release.

Furthermore, the Coppa Italia, Supercoppa and Primavera competitions will also benefit from the division’s rebranding.

Finally, Serie A has promoted new Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts, all bearing the name ‘SerieA’, despite the latter’s predecessor having built up 1.2m followers.

So far, however, much of the social reaction to the League’s new emblem has varied from mixed to negative…

Want to give props to Serie A for giving some U15 interns a chance to create the new logo https://t.co/nLfYdpgPKc — Marcello #Maldini (@PresidenteMCM) August 8, 2018

Thos is just a brushed up logo. I think Serie A needs a complete rebrand but not just the logo but also the name to make it more universal. Look at how the Premier League rebranded and repackaged itself as inspiration. — Jeff Lang (@b1anconeri) August 8, 2018

Horribile. They just put together the letter A with the old logo. Not a good job.. — Matteo (@mattecanestrini) August 8, 2018

Lesson: Introduction to Serie A

## Chapter 1: What is Serie A?

Serie A is the top soccer league in Italy. It consists of 20 teams that compete against each other throughout the season to determine the champion. The league was founded in 1898 and has since become one of the most prestigious soccer leagues in the world.

## Chapter 2: Why is it called Serie A?

The name 'Serie A' comes from the Italian word for 'series'. This is because the league was originally divided into two groups, or series, of 10 teams each. Over time, the league expanded to include 20 teams, but the name stuck.

## Chapter 3: How does the league work?

Each team in Serie A plays against every other team twice during the season – once at home and once away. At the end of the season, the team with the most points is declared the champion. If two or more teams have the same number of points, the tiebreaker is determined by goal difference, followed by head-to-head record, and then goals scored.

## Chapter 4: Who are some famous teams in Serie A?

Some of the most famous teams in Serie A include Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Roma. These teams have won multiple championships and have some of the most passionate fan bases in the world.

## Chapter 5: What is the new logo and social media channels?

Serie A recently unveiled a new logo and social media channels as part of a rebranding effort. The new logo emphasizes the letter A, which is a central element of the league's name. The tagline for the league is now 'Exciting, Engaging, Adrenaline-pumping', which also features alliteration with the letter A. The league has also launched new Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts, all of which use the name 'SerieA'.

## Chapter 6: What is the reaction to the new logo and social media channels?

The reaction to the new logo and social media channels has been mixed, with some people liking the fresh look and others disliking it. The league's decision to create new social media accounts instead of using the old ones has also been met with criticism.

## Conclusion

Serie A is one of the most prestigious soccer leagues in the world, and its new logo and social media channels are just the latest chapter in its long and storied history. Whether you love or hate the new look, there is no denying the passion and excitement that surrounds this great league.

Truck trailers with long beds are equipped with rear axles which are slidably adjustable to move in forward and rearward directions with respect to the truck bed. It is necessary to have axles which are adjustable in this manner because truck trailers carry loads of various sizes which may have horizontal centers of gravity which are closer to one end of the truck bed than the other. During the past decade, regulations have changed, allowing truck trailers of increased length. Such truck trailers almost necessarily must have rear axles which are slidable fore and aft.
In order to properly stop tractor trailers, it is necessary to brake the wheels of the rear axle or axles, as well as the tractor wheels. This is accomplished a pair of hoses, one of which provides pressurized air for normal service braking and the other of which provides pressurized air for emergency braking. In that the rear axles are movable, the air is supplied through flexible conduits which, in a preferable approach, are configured as coiled tubes which expand and contract as the rear axles are moved fore and aft on the trailer bed.
Currently available end fittings for coiled airbrake tubes require additional end fittings for installation, which additional end fittings complicate both installation and maintenance. Moreover, current approaches require NPT or NPTF pipe fittings, which result in additional connections and, therefore, additional points of possible leakage.

Lesson Title: Adjustable Rear Axles in Truck Trailers

Introduction:
Truck trailers with long beds are equipped with rear axles which are slidably adjustable to move in forward and rearward directions with respect to the truck bed. This is necessary because truck trailers carry loads of various sizes which may have horizontal centers of gravity which are closer to one end of the truck bed than the other. During the past decade, regulations have changed, allowing truck trailers of increased length. Such truck trailers almost necessarily must have rear axles which are slidable fore and aft.

Main Topic: Adjustable Rear Axles in Truck Trailers

Theoretical Concepts:
- Slidable rear axles are adjustable in forward and rearward directions with respect to the truck bed.
- This is necessary because truck trailers carry loads of various sizes which may have horizontal centers of gravity which are closer to one end of the truck bed than the other.
- During the past decade, regulations have changed, allowing truck trailers of increased length. Such truck trailers almost necessarily must have rear axles which are slidable fore and aft.

Practical Examples:
- A truck trailer carrying a load of cars may have a horizontal center of gravity closer to one end of the truck bed than the other.
- By sliding the rear axle towards the heavier side, the trailer can maintain stability and prevent rollover.
- Similarly, if a truck trailer is carrying a load that is unevenly distributed, the slidable rear axle can be adjusted to ensure that the trailer remains stable and safe to drive.

Real-World Scenarios:
- Truck drivers must be aware of the weight distribution of their loads and adjust the slidable rear axle accordingly.
- If the rear axle is not properly adjusted, the truck trailer may become unstable and cause an accident.
- Truck drivers must also ensure that the flexible conduits that supply air to the brakes are properly installed and maintained to avoid leaks and ensure safe braking.

Questions and Answers:
1. Why are slidable rear axles necessary in truck trailers?
Answer: Slidable rear axles are necessary in truck trailers because they carry loads of various sizes which may have horizontal centers of gravity which are closer to one end of the truck bed than the other. This allows the truck driver to adjust the rear axle to maintain stability and prevent rollover.

2. How do slidable rear axles work?
Answer: Slidable rear axles are adjustable in forward and rearward directions with respect to the truck bed. They are typically mounted on a sliding mechanism that allows the axle to move back and forth along the length of the trailer bed.

3. What are the benefits of having slidable rear axles in truck trailers?
Answer: The main benefit of having slidable rear axles in truck trailers is that they allow the truck driver to adjust the rear axle to maintain stability and prevent rollover. This is particularly important when carrying loads that are unevenly distributed or when the center of gravity is closer to one end of the truck bed than the other.

Conclusion:
Slidable rear axles are an important feature in truck trailers that allow the truck driver to adjust the rear axle to maintain stability and prevent rollover. Understanding the theoretical concepts, practical examples, and real-world scenarios of slidable rear axles is crucial for truck drivers and mechanics to ensure safe and efficient operation of truck trailers.

Non-profit organizations are essential components of society that work towards improving the lives of people and the environment. In this lesson, we will learn about the role of non-profit organizations, particularly ASAP, in assisting asylum seekers in the D.C. area.

## Section 1: What is a Non-Profit Organization?
A non-profit organization is an entity that operates for a specific purpose or cause without making a profit. The goal of these organizations is to improve the lives of people and the environment, rather than generating profits for shareholders or owners.

## Section 2: The Role of ASAP
ASAP is a non-profit organization based in Washington, D.C. that provides services for approximately 50,000 asylum seekers in the D.C. area. Asylum seekers are individuals who have fled their country due to persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution based on their race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. These individuals typically arrive in the U.S. with limited resources and face many challenges in rebuilding their lives.

ASAP provides its members with social employment and community engagement opportunities to help them rebuild their lives in a dignified manner. This includes helping asylum seekers find jobs, learn English, and connect with local communities. By providing these services, ASAP helps asylum seekers become self-sufficient and contribute to society.

## Section 3: The Importance of Non-Profit Organizations
Non-profit organizations play a crucial role in society by addressing issues that governments or businesses may not prioritize. For example, ASAP focuses on assisting asylum seekers, who are often marginalized and face significant barriers to integration. Non-profit organizations can provide targeted support and resources to these vulnerable populations, helping them achieve better outcomes in areas such as health, education, and employment.

Additionally, non-profit organizations can raise awareness about important issues and advocate for policy changes. For instance, ASAP works to raise awareness about the challenges faced by asylum seekers and advocates for policies that promote their integration into society.

text: Today, a columnist for a Michigan newspaper sarcastically characterized the Mackinac Center's Freedom of Information Act request to the labor policy departments of three government universities as follows:. "The right wing Mackinac Center for Public Policy has embraced the concept of turning to Big Government for assistance.". In plain English, the following is a summary of the specific request that he characterizes as "Mackinac embraces Big Government":. "Can you assist us by producing these specified public records, which would demonstrate how you may be violating the law and working against the interests of taxpayers and citizens?". To this columnist's credit, aside from the gratuitous insults, the rest of his piece gets the story right, correctly recognizing the principle of using open records requests to explore potential government wrongdoing. In this case, "to learn whether the professors were engaging in political activism at taxpayer expense," which is a misdemeanor crime.

Lesson: Open Records Requests and the Freedom of Information Act

Introduction:
Open records requests are an essential tool for citizens to hold their government accountable. The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) allows individuals to request access to government documents and records. In this lesson, we will explore the basics of FOIA requests, their importance, and how they can be used to uncover potential wrongdoing by government officials.

Section 1: What is FOIA and why is it important?
FOIA is a law that gives people the right to access information from the government. It was enacted in 1966 to promote transparency and accountability in government. FOIA provides citizens with access to information that may be used to ensure that the government is operating within the law and serving the public interest.

Section 2: How do FOIA requests work?
A FOIA request is a written or electronic request made to a government agency asking for access to records or information. The request must be in writing and must describe the records being sought with enough detail to allow the agency to locate them. The agency then has 20 business days to respond to the request. If the request is granted, the agency must provide the requested records. If the request is denied, the agency must provide a reason for the denial.

Section 3: Examples of FOIA requests
FOIA requests can be used to request a wide range of records, including emails, memos, reports, and contracts. For example, a journalist might use a FOIA request to obtain emails between government officials to investigate possible conflicts of interest. A citizen group might use a FOIA request to obtain records related to a proposed development project to assess its impact on the environment.

Section 4: How can FOIA requests be used to uncover wrongdoing?
FOIA requests can be a powerful tool for uncovering wrongdoing by government officials. For example, if there are allegations that a government official has used their position for personal gain, a FOIA request can be used to obtain records related to the official's finances, travel, and other activities. These records can then be examined to see if there are any discrepancies or patterns that suggest wrongdoing.

Conclusion:
FOIA requests are an essential tool for citizens to hold their government accountable. By requesting access to government records, citizens can uncover potential wrongdoing and ensure that the government is operating within the law and serving the public interest. This lesson has provided an overview of what FOIA requests are, how they work, and how they can be used to uncover wrongdoing.

Four years later, Republicans now in control are using that decision to their advantage to help President Trump — in the words Barack H. Obama — ‘fundamentally transform’ the federal judiciary.. Whilst the Trump administration and Congress are mired in a very public sort of do-nothing reputation after failing to repeal Obamacare and, so far, to pass a tax reform bill, some very significant things are happening in the courts.. Trump has filled vacancies in federal courts faster than any president since Richard Nixon–almost nine appellate judges to be exact..
