Post-Doctoral Fellowship
Do you have career interests in private practice? RPS offers a unique post-doctoral fellowship experience that fosters competencies in entrepreneurship and business necessary for success as an independent provider. In addition, supervision and mentoring focus on promoting your natural therapeutic style and further developing your expertise. We emphasize program development as part of the post-doc year, allowing fellows to expand and create service delivery modalities (e.g. group therapy for a specific population) based on interests and prior training. As an agency, we value wellness through work-life balance, self-care, self-awareness, and openness.
Ideal candidates will have career interests in private practice and outpatient mental health. We are looking for fellows who are independent and self-directed learners. We value flexibility, autonomy, self-care, a willingness to be vulnerable, cultural humility, and responsibility.
Contact us for additional information about our fellowship!
We hire two post-doctoral fellows each year. Please reach out for more information.
Practicum Training & Internships
Now accepting applications for master's level practicum students. We are proud to be listed as a formal practicum site with the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis.
Who are we?
Reed Psychological Services (RPS) is a private mental health clinic located in the western suburbs of the Twin Cities metro. Our multidisciplinary team of clinicians provides individual and group therapy, couples and family therapy, psychological assessment, supervision, and consultation services to a diverse client population. We combine the latest scientific evidence with experienced and warm clinicians to empower our clients in their personal growth.
Practicum Training
RPS offers training (practicum, internship) to graduate students enrolled in doctoral and masters programs in clinical psychology, counseling psychology, social work, and marriage and family therapy. We adopt a developmental model of training designed to support trainees in building foundational competencies necessary for ethical and professional practice in mental health. We focus on individual learning to help trainees discover their natural helping style, promote their theoretical orientation, and build awareness of their professional identity. As an agency, we value wellness, work-life balance, self-care, self-awareness, and openness. These values are emphasized in supervision and mentoring.
Practica will begin in the fall and runs for either 9 or 12 months, depending on students' needs and academic program requirements. Year-long placements are preferred, but not required.
We offer a generalist training track. Trainees interested in DBT experience may also participate in a DBT rotation; please indicate your interest in DBT in your application materials. We are willing to be flexible with hours based on a student's program requirements. Preference will be given to students who are available at least one evening per week. Trainees who want/need group therapy experience, including DBT, must be available at least one evening per week, as most of our therapy groups run during late afternoon/evening times.
Practicum students will spend 40-50% of their time, or 7-10 hours per week, providing direct service to clients. Service delivery modalities will vary with degree/program requirements and trainee interest. All students will provide diagnostic evaluations and individual therapy. Doctoral students are required to complete a minimum of four MMPI-2-RF therapeutic assessment reports. RPS works with children, adolescents, and adults. Practicum students may choose which age groups they would like to work with based on their learning goals and training needs. Trainees will see a wide range of presenting issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, affective difficulties, relationship and communication issues, concerns related to identity development and life transitions and more.
Students will receive weekly individual supervision with a doctoral-level staff psychologist and/or master's level mental health professional, depending on students' licensure track and academic program needs. Students will also participate in weekly didactic seminars on various topics relevant to entry level general practice such as evidenced based therapies (e.g. DBT, EMDR, CBT, ACT, MI), working with specific populations (e.g. ADHD, children, gender & sexuality, adoptees), assessment, and topics related to private practice (e.g. business and insurance, marketing, electronic health records and record keeping). Group supervision may be offered depending on the size and schedules of the incoming trainee cohort. A trainee's remaining hours may be used for case management and administrative activities.
How to Apply
Application materials will be accepted beginning in January each year. We honor individual academic program timelines and will accept applications and interview candidates through April. We will begin interviews in early February. We will continue to accept materials from interested candidates until our placements are full. When all spots are filled, a notice will be placed on the RPS website and remaining open applications will be notified. To apply for a practicum placement, please email or mail the following materials:

All practicum placement offers are contingent upon successful completion of reference checks and background checks.

A self catering holiday cottage for two plus two dogs.
Penny Black sits on the route of the Westhouse Walks and is close to the famous Ingleton Waterfalls. There is a strong Sir Arthur Conan Doyle connection in the area.
Conan Doyle's mother lived in nearby Masongill. He attended Stonyhurst College (approx 1 hr drive away). Arthur married his first wife, Louisa Hawkins, at St Oswald's Church, Thornton in Lonsdale, (where a copy of his marriage certificate can be viewed) just a mile from Penny Black and it is thought that his Sherlock Holmes character was developed in the Ingleton area with a number of clues to be discovered by would be detectives.
Ingleton village offers individual shops, dog friendly country pubs, a variety of eating establishments and wonderful tea rooms. There are many Churches of various denominations in the area.
The nearest shop to Penny is 0.9 miles towards Ingleton. It is a 'corner shop' with a difference and is called Country Harvest. Here you can buy local produce including wonderful meats and groceries, clothing, gifts and they have a super café. Coach tours regularly stop here as a treat to break their journey.
Our local pub is the newly refurbished Marton Arms who serve tasty, well presented evening meals, offer fine traditional hand pulled cask ales and have over 35 gins on offer. The Marton Arms is situated in the hamlet of Thornton in Lonsdale (1 mile away) across the road from St Oswald's church.
Ingleton is a bustling, lively community spirited, welcoming village, hosting many special events throughout the year.
The heated outdoor swimming pool is open during the summer months and is well worth a visit.
The famous Ingleton Waterfalls Trail is a must for walkers visiting the area. The trail starts approximately 1.9 miles from Penny Black and has a large car park, public conveniences, a shop and café.
Penny Black is convenient for The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge as well as walking for all ages and abilities from the doorstep.
The Westhouse Walks can be accessed from directly outside Penny Black Cottage with three varying walks for most abilities.
Keen cyclists can enjoy the miles of country lanes and off road tracks - cycle hire is available at Escape bike shop just a few hundred metres from the cottage. There is safe, secure lockable storage within the cottage garden.
For a beautifully nostalgic step back in time, visit Cowan Bridge Tearoom for light lunches, afternoon tea and tasty home made cakes in pretty, relaxed tea rooms, just a three minute drive north west towards Kirkby Lonsdale.
The well-known White Scar Cave is within a ten minute drive from the cottage and is situated close to the Ribblehead Viaduct which carries the famous Settle to Carlisle Railway across Batty Moss in the valley of the River Ribble at Ribblehead.
Ingleborough Cave is also fabulous half day trip via a wonderfully relaxed walk.
You can catch a ride from Settle Station, on the Settle to Carlisle Railway approximately a 20 minute drive from Penny Black.
From May to September each year, Ingleton and the surrounding area host the Over Ground Under Ground Festival which really does have something for everyone!
Other popular weekend events are the Ingleton 40's Weekend in July and the Ingleton Folk Festival in September/October.
More info about what is on in Ingleton throughout the year can be found on This is Ingleton an informative and interesting insight into this wonderful and much loved village.
Further afield, a 40 minute drive North West will take you through beautiful and dramatically romantic scenery to Bowness on Windermere in the Lake District where you can travel across this infamous Mere by ferry to enjoy the multitude of visitor attractions available or travel further north towards the majestic rugged mountainous regions of Ambleside and on to Keswick etc. Alternatively, a drive to the southern and western Lake District is well worth a visit.
Travel 27 miles South East of Penny Black and you will reach the quaint Yorkshire market town of Skipton having travelled past Settle.
A short trip North East of Penny will take you deep into the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
To the South, approximately 25 miles, lies Lancashire's picturesque Forest of Bowland - also known as the Bowland Fells.
As you can see, Penny Black Cottage is ideally situated as a base for visiting so many wonderful places spanning three of the most stunning counties in the North of England.
There is a bus stop across the road from the cottage with regular services between Yorkshire, Cumbria and Lancashire Ingleton - Kirkby Lonsdale - Lancaster or Kirkby Lonsdale - Ingleton - Skipton or Morecambe - Ingleton - Malham

A warm welcome.
Why therapy?
Life can be a complicated business. We can rub along quite happily for years, juggling a successful career with family life, yet feel there is something missing. Or we may have felt from the outset that we have never really known who we are.
Therapy can give us eyes. It can provide just the right amount of freedom to talk about the things that trouble us most; where we can feel heard, perhaps for the first time in our lives. Eventually, instead of being ambushed by our distress, we learn to accept it. We gain a new perspective, and the courage to seek more satisfying ways of being in the world.
How do I work?
I have a psychodynamic approach. As well as being interested in everyday troubles and triumphs, I also pay attention to unconscious processes - the hidden parts of ourselves that emerge in dreams, as well as in our stories about ourselves and what we do.
I consider that past experiences, particularly early childhood experiences, play an important role in shaping our current thoughts and feelings. These early influences are especially important in the repeated patterns we see in our relationships, including the one we have in the consulting room.
My background
I have been a qualified therapist for many years, with a varied clinical background in GP surgeries, the voluntary sector, therapeutic communities, and low-fee charities. I have worked as a group therapist, counsellor and mental health practitioner in a range of NHS services, both in specialist settings and in primary care.
I offer long and short-term therapy, depending on what you need. Some people stay in therapy for one to two years, sometimes for longer, and some people come more than once a week.
Any questions?
I am happy to answer any questions you may have about the type of therapy I can offer you, my availability, and my appointment days and times. Just drop me a line or give me a call, and we can take it from there.
If you ring my practice line, 01386 860816, you will hear my voice on an answering machine. Please leave me a message, letting me know the best days and times to call, and I will get back to you as soon as I can, usually within 24 hours.
The majority of my work has been in the NHS, with a varied background in therapeutic communities, a prison, GP surgeries, an addictions service and low-fee counselling charities.
I gained my Advanced Diploma in Counselling at Wigan and went on to study psychodrama at the Birmingham Institute for Psychodrama, systemic family therapy at Parkview Clinic in Birmingham, and the group analytic approach at Turvey Abbey, in Bedfordshire to certificate level. I am a senior trainee of the Jungian Training in Analytical Psychotherapy at the West Midlands Institute of Psychotherapy.
MA (Oxon), BA (Eng Lang & Lit), BSc (Psychol), Adv Dip Couns (Wigan), Cert Action Methods and Psychodramatic Techniques (West Mids Psychodrama Group), Prof Cert Management (Open), MBACP (Reg).
Individual sessions
I operate a sliding fee scale, between £45 to £65 per session, according to individual circumstances.
Initial consultations
An initial consultation is a longer appointment spread over two meetings. It is an opportunity for you to see whether you feel we can work together, and for you to ask any questions you may have.
At the end of our time together you should have a better idea of whether this kind of therapy may be right for you, and what other options there may be.
Any concessions?
Yes, please see above.
Missed sessions and cancellations
In common with many therapists, I charge for every session, including those that you do not attend, for example when you are on holiday or you decide not to come. This is because the time is set aside for you, and I do not use it for any other purpose.
Codes of Ethics and Practice
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and a member of the British Psychodrama Association. I am a member of the the West Midlands Institute of Psychotherapy.
I abide by the BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling, the UKCP Code of Ethics and the British Psychodrama Association Code of Ethics and Practice.
I receive regular analytical supervision.
I work in Cheltenham and near Pershore. My main consulting room is in a village in the Vale of Evesham, and I have an additional practice base at The Isbourne Centre, in central Cheltenham, a few steps away from the town hall.
I am within easy driving distance of Pershore, Evesham, villages in the Vale of Evesham, Cheltenham, Tewkesbury, Malvern, Worcester, Redditch, Stratford and Broadway with good links to the M5, the A44 and the A46.
There is a regular bus service through the village, and Evesham railway station is ten minutes away by car.

I'm fairly certain we found the issue with the Zilla problems of last weekend, and I'm happy to report it wasn't a fault with the controller or Hairball interface…more like a lack of sleep in the weeks prior to the EVent We'll know for sure tonight, whether I've got it figured out or not, but again, I'm at the 95% mark of confidence that I know what I did wrong. In the rush to transplant the Siamese 9 into the Zombie (no small feat) in one short day, the reversing contactor setup was not completed, and thus Hairball did not 'see' the safety interlock when trying to switch from series to parallel. Just exactly as Tim had described, the car was a rocket up through the 1/8 mile, then it faulted, jerked, and sputtered right about where he expected the jump to hyper speed parallel mode to happen, then the controller would give up and shut down. Tim would then have to key-off, then key-on and wait for the precharge, before resuming acceleration – and we still ran an 11.7!
I found the problem, when after de-selecting automatic series-parallel shifting the manual shift would still not engage the parallel contactors. They only began to work when I turned off the reverse flag. The Zilla design and safety feature set worked perfectly, as not 'seeing' the reverse contactor sense during switch-over told it to shutdown for fear of welded reverse contactor tips. Thanks to my longtime friend Otmar for his support last night, and for designing such a brilliant controller package!
Anyway, it's all fixed now, the new motor has full reversing capabilities again, the parallel contactors are back on line, all codes have been cleared, and the Zombie is cleared for take-off into the 10s tonight! We'll be at the gates before 6:00 tonight.
See Ya…John 'Plasma Boy' Wayland

In February, 2012 the Dubai Free Zones Council signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Dubai Statistics Center. The one-year agreement that mandates the sharing of data and information between the two institutions will qualify for automatic renewal.
Dr Mohammed Al Zarooni, Chairman of the Dubai Free Zones Council, and Aref Obaid Al Muhairi, CEO of Dubai Statistics Center, signed the MoU that will also aim to facilitate institutional integration between government authorities in Dubai.
Dr Mohammed Al Zarooni said: "Dubai Free Zones Council recognises the importance of research for planning growth-oriented projects. Research will offer an added advantage to the free zone destinations that are marking significant progress in business. The data and information collected will help nurture the investment climate for international companies seeking to establish a presence in this region. We look forward to a symbiotic and long lasting relationship with the Dubai Statistics Center."
A team led by the Dubai Statistics Center and comprising representatives of the Free Zones Council will be instituted. The team will be responsible for the standardization of methodologies and mechanisms for statistical work on par with the current standards that Dubai endorses. The team will also be tasked to supervise, extract results and adopt the surveys of the statistical research conducted in areas under the Dubai Free Zones Council.
Aref Al Muhairi said: "Providing the necessary statistics that support the development of Dubai is a core mandate of the Dubai Statistics Center. The signing of this MoU comes in line with our efforts to establish stronger ties with various government agencies and facilitate knowledge exchange. We strive to offer the best electronic services in disseminating databases and statistics in Dubai. Our tie up with the Dubai Free Zones Council will expand our scope of work and offer a wider base for conducting our surveys and sample studies. This agreement will also help the Council set a roadmap for future strategic planning."
The Dubai Free Zones Council recently drew up a general framework for the registration and licensing of companies within the free zones. Aligned with the indicators and standards of the World Bank for establishing companies, the new regulations aim to make the registration process more efficient and enhance ease of doing business.

Hey all, I am trying to use the:
funtion using arcpy in ArcGIS 10.3.
Make Query Layer—Data Management toolbox | ArcGIS for Desktop
I am trying to set 2 fields as the OID fields (parameter #4). For the life of me, I can't get them to set in the resulting Query Layer. It will set the first one field, but not the second one. I am running this from both a python addin and from the built in python command line window in ArcMap:
arcpy.MakeQueryLayer_management (r"Database Connections\XXXX.sde", "Table_Test3", "select a.tenure_number_id, b.event_number_id from mta_acquired_tenure_svw a, mta_event c, mta_tenure_event_xref b where a.tenure_number_id = b.tenure_number_id and b.event_number_id = c.event_number_id", "TENURE_NUMBER_ID (Long Integer, Not nullable);EVENT_NUMBER_ID (Long Integer, Not nullable)")
The fields are valid. If I were to create a Query layer via the GUI in ArcMap (i.e. File-->Add Data-->Add Query Layer...), the query layer successfully populates and both the OID fields are set because I can manually check off each layer in the second page of the dialogue box. I tried reversing the fields in the query (shot in the dark) and what I've noticed is, it will set the first field in the table as the OID, but not the second. I've tried using the table aliases in the field names. No luck. Any suggestions? thanks.

Tim O'Brien (vocals, guitar, bouzouki, mandolin) , Ray Bonneville (vocals, harmonica) , Darrell Scott / Jon Randall Stewart / Jonell Mosser (vocals) , John Doyle (guitar, bouzouki) , Jerry Douglas (lap steel guitar, resonator guitar) , Dirk Powell (bass, banjo, accordion, piano) , Béla Fleck (banjo) , Casey Driessen (fiddle) , Dennis Crouch (bass) , Edgar Meyer (arco bass) , Kenny Malone (percussion).
1. All Music - Robert L. Doerschuk
Traveler arrives like some horseman from the dusty past. His news is blunt, if not apocalyptic, with warnings that the future promises only "rotting flesh and broken bone." His chaps are stained with blood shed during the Civil War, and the trail he's followed from then until now runs alongside the Mississippi before melting into "a road without end" that winds back toward where our memories began. O'Brien lays all this out with help from some impressive players, but even the often incendiary Béla Fleck joins with them in toning down the fireworks and creating evocative settings through the most minimal gestures -- a slow-motion guitar arpeggio, a keening fiddle, a note here or there to complement O'Brien's relaxed delivery. It's significant, perhaps, that the album opens with "Kelly Joe's Shoes," an ode to a pair of beat-up sneakers that gave O'Brien some pretty good mileage, and ends with "Less & Less," which celebrates the joys of moving through life with as little baggage as possible. From music through message, Traveler just about gets it right.

|Summer Abroad Iceland, "Thermodynamics in the Land of Fire and Ice" (Info Session) Thursday, December 6, 2018, 11am – 12pm
Campus Location:International Center
Location of Event:UC Davis Campus
Contact Email:email@example.com
Contact Phone #:530-752-5763
Event Type:Forums, Discussions and Information Sessions
Presented by:Study Abroad
Because Iceland's electrical grid is entirely powered by geothermal and hydroelectric resources, Iceland is a unique setting to learn about renewable power and thermodynamic science. Iceland also has abundant natural wonders as it sits upon an area where the tectonic plates are dividing and the land is being shaped by volcanic and glacial activity. We will stay in the outskirts of Reykjavik and will take field trips to nearby powerplants and manufacturing facilities. We will also visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site Þingvellir, where deep fissures between the North American and European Plates are visible at the surface.

A quick note about the social festivities leading up to Thursday night's game.
First off, Charlotte's Alabama alumni group is holding a "Hook 'Em and Cook 'Em BBQ" at Mac's in Steele Creek on Wednesday. The gathering was initially slated for Mac's on South Boulevard. But Bama chapter president Chad Champion (Class of '93) says so many crimson carnivores have signed up that the Bevo picking had to be moved to Mac's bigger venue at 2414 Sandy Porter Road. Cost is $12 per, and Mark Packer will be holding forth.
The RSVPs ended Sunday. But if you want to go, and as an SEC Expats insider's special, call Shanna Jarvis at 704-516-4573, or e-mail her at firstname.lastname@example.com and she'll find a way to squeeze you in.
Thursday night, the alums will gather to watch the game at Bailey's Sports Grille, 8500 Pineville-Matthews Road. A crimson mob is expected, so Champion suggests an early arrival for a good seat.
As to Champion . . . interesting name, and he graduated the year of Alabama's 12th and last national title, the Sugar Bowl shellacking that put the Miami program in a 17-year coma. (Some limited brain activity was detected this season at the U, but the prospects for recovery remain guarded.)
His call on Thursday's game: A 7- to 10-point ballgame, if things go according to plan.
Key word: If. I'll take one point.

Blah, blah, blah, blah. Cut it anyway you want, y'all, Alabama still has almost as many NCs as the rest of the SEC combined.
The Rats send their regards, J. But did you clear it with Texas before you used their slogan? Those people can be pretty picky.

Book Review: The Distance Between US
Review of The Distance Between Us by Kasie West
Started: 9/27/13; finished: 9/28/13
Goodreads rating: 5/5 stars
my rating: GAH!
Pages: 320 (paperback)
found: library
This book gets five stars from me simply for the amount of snark in it. The main character, Caymen is the queen of sarcasm, or dry wit as others like to call it. She lives above and works in a porcelain doll shop with her mother. All her life she's heard about how horrible rich people are and how they'll use you and break your heart. Just like Caymen's father did to her mother.
So when rich boy, Xander, comes into her store and beckons (yes beckons) her over for help she can barely hide her disdain or her sarcasm. But Xander seems to take it all in stride. Not to mention he's frickin' hot. He shows up again days later to pick up another doll. The flirting between the two is nearly overwhelming.
Caymen's ready to dismiss him, he's rich after all which means he's probably shallow and self-absorbed, but Xander is out to prove all her theories wrong. He shows up every day to walk her to school and they form a tentative friendship that quickly heats up into something more.
But can Richy Rich really fall for the poor girl, barely scraping by?
By the end secrets are revealed and a lifetime of lessons need to be unlearned for Caymen. Then she can see Xander for who he really is, beyond his wealth.
I absolutely adored this book. The romance was super sweet with a bit of angst thrown in as misunderstandings and misgivings arise between Caymen and Xander. The supporting characters were quirky and fun and the twist at the end changes everything Caymen (and the reader) knows about her life. This was yet another GAH! book for me. I just couldn't put it down and when I was done I couldn't create words to adequately express my love for this book. It's going on my favorites list which means someday I will actually buy it instead of getting it out of the library.

There was a time in Mississippi when getting an Initiative for a Constitutional Amendment to the ballot was the hard part. If it made it to the ballot, it was almost a done deal.
This time, despite all of the obfuscation and out of state money, it appears that the much balleyhood Initiative 42 is going to defeat.
In my mind, it all came down to taxation without representation. 42 would have required priority funding for K-12 at the expense of other agencies and programs. If the Legislature did not fund K-12 to some undetermined level, the Courts would have the power of the purse. It was an amazing sleight of hand, sold to the voters as the greatest thing ever for K-12, all of course #ForTheChildren.
Opponents of 42 were painted as being against education, and of course, racist.
One of the Pro-42 tv ads that were ran showed a group of school kids singing "This Little Light of Mine" in the background, all touchy-feely-feelgood mumbo jumbo. And you just know, if there were any classrooms where this particular song were being sung, these same Pro-42 folks would be raising hell about religion in the class, yada, yada, yada.
I'm real proud of my fellow Mississippians for rejecting the guilt-trip, seeing through the smoke screen, and sending this purulent piece of filth back to the do-gooders.

an affidavit of defense in which, after claiming 8J credit for $1,091.83 paid on account, and $148.53 for bags returned, it is claimed to set off damages arising from the plaintiff's failure, as alleged, to deliver such quality of cement as it undertook to do,-the damages exceeding the plaintiff's demand. Mter specifying particularly how the damages arose the affidavit epitomizes as follows:
"That defendants have been damaged by the wrongful acts of plaintiff, in fraudulently furnishing inferior cement as aforesaid; in the extra cost and expense occasioned defendants In taking out and replacing broken floors in said Simpson Building, as aforesaid, in loss and expense occasioned by the repairs in sald buildings, as aforesaid; in the loss of contracts, as aforesaid, and In the impairment of the value of said patent owned by defendants, as aforesaid, in the sum of 4,432 671100 dollars."
The circuit court held the affidavit to be insufficient, under the law and practice here, and entered judgment for the plaintiff, after allowing the credits claimed for payment and bags returned. The defendant awealed, and now assigns this act of the court as error. Is the affidavit insufficient? The law requires affidavits of defense to be so specific as to inform the plaintiff of the character of the defense he is required to meet, and to enable him to take judgment for such balance of his claim as is not covered by the defense set up. If the affidavit in the case before us had omitted the claim for damages on account of "loss of contracts" (which the plaintiff had hoped to obtain if its work on the one in hand should be successful) and on account of "impairment of the value of patents owned by the defendant," and had ascribed the $4,432.67 damages to the other causes of loss specified, it would have been sufficient. A legitimate defensewould thus have been presented, covering the plaintiff's entire claim; and the plaintiff would have been sufficiently informed of its character. But these two alleged sources of damage, and grounds of defense, to which a part of the $4,432.67 of loss set up is a,scribed, cannot be considered; if proved they would not constitute a defense. Neither argument nor authority is required to show that the alleged injury from loss of contracts, and prejudice to patents, could not be set up as a defense. The allegation rests on pure speculation; and such loss if proved would be too remote. The plaintiff could not foresee or contemplate it. What pa'rt of the $4,432.67 damages should be ascribed to the legitimate defense set out does not therefore appear. If it did and the amount fell short of the plaintiff's claim, he might have taken judgment for the balance. It is thus seen that the affidavit is insufficient, and ·that the court was right in entering judgment. The judgment is therefore affirmed, with costs.
INDIANAPOLIS WATER CO. v. AMERICAN STRAWBOARD CO. (Circuit Court, p. Indiana. September 15, 1896.) No. 8,719. 1.
Contempts, broadly considered, are of two kinds,-direct and constructive. Contempts committed in the presence of the court, sitting judicially,
or so near as to interfere with the orderly course of procedure, are direct contempts. Contempts committed, not in presence of the court, but which tend by their operation to interrupt, obstruct, embarrass, or prevent the due and orderly administration of justice, are constructive contempts.
Constructive contempts are of two general classes: First, those wherein the contemptuous acts primarily affect public rights or the due administration of public justice; second, those which primarily affect privwte rights, and only remotely and Incidentally affect public rights or public justice. When contempt proceedings are prosecuted to vindicate a public right, they are criminal offem;es,. in which the intent Is a material and necessary ingredient. When they are prosecuted, either solely or primarily, to enforce and vindicate private rights, which have been secured from vIolation by an interlocutory or tinal decree of the court, they are not criminal, but civil, and remedial in theIr nature, and are punishable without regard to the motive of defendant.
SAME-VIOI,A'noN OF INJUNCTION.
Where defendant was enjoined, at the suit of a water company, from allowing any deleterious substances to escape from Its factory into the river, and thereupon bunt a reservoir on the bank of the river, Which it negligently and carelessly permitted to break and discharge its contents, heM, that this was a contempt puniShable by fine, or by fine and Imprisonment, although there was no willful purpose to violate the injunction.
This was a petition by the Indianapolis Water Company against the American Strawboard Company for a rule to show cause why defendant should not be punished as for a contempt, for violating an injunction. Baker & Daniels and Addison C. Harris, for petitioner. John W. Kern and S. S. Wheeler, for respondent. BAKER, District Judge. The complainant, the Indianapolis Water Company, obtained a final decree in this court (57 Fed. 1000) against the defendant, the American Strawboard Company, "perpetually enjoining the American Strawboard Company, and its officers, agents, servants, and employes, from and after the 1st day of December, 1893, from passing, flowing, discharging, casting, or permitting to pass, flow, or be discharged or cast, or to escape into the White river, any decomposable or deleterious matter or refuse or offal from the defendant's said strawboard factory." A copy of this decree was duly served on C. D. Macy, the general superintendent and manager of the strawboard company, at Noblesville, Ind. A petition was filed by the complainant, and a rule was entered requiring the defendant and its general manager to show cause, if any they had, why they should not be punished for violating this injunction. A hearing has been had, and a large number of witnesses were sworn and examined touching the matter of the alleged contempt. It was shown that shortly after the entry of the decree the defendant constructed a large reservoir or basin, of about 43 acres in extent, immediately upon the east bank of White river, and adjoining its premises on the south. The reservoir or basin was constructed by building an embankment several feet in height, composed of the earth taken from the ground at that place. The embankment was in no wise supported or strengthened by masonry, or otherwise protected. The bank of the river at the point
974 .
where the reservoir was built is several feet above tb.e level of the water in the stream. After building the reservoir the defendant opened a way from its mill, whereby all the offal and refuse matter flowing therefrom was discharged into the reservoir. The daily discharge from the mill is about 3,000,000 gallons, carrying deleterious and poisonous matter held in solution, and also large quantities of rotten straw and refuse, and other obnoxious matter .' held and carried in suspension. The daily consumption of the mill is from 5.0 to 60 tons of straw, of which at least one-fourth is carlime are daily carried ried away as refuse. Large quantities from the mill, along with the other refuse. The straw used in the mill is subjected to boiling for a long time in lime water, and with hot steam, so that the soluble properties of the straw are extracted, and carried away in solution. The matter carried in suspension, and particularly that held.in solutil;>D,. when exposed to light, heat, and air,becomes, under the operation of natural laws, poisonous and destructive to all animal life. All of these facts were well known to the defendant,and to its general manager, before the reservoir was built. It was further shown that the defendant and its officers knew that the complainant was charged with the duty, under contract with the city of Indianapolis, of supplying water for domestic uses to the citizens thereof, and that it was compelled to and did take water from the river, and pass the same into its mains, and furnish it, for general use, to the people. The defendant and its general manager, after the construction of the reservoir, began and continued to discharge therein the large quantity of deleterious refuse before mentioned, until the same became filled to within 12 to 18 inches of the top of the embankment. About a week or 10 daYIil before the bursting of the embankment, and the discharge of the contents of the reservoir into White river, a small break occurred at the point where the last break happened. This small break was discovered before serious damage occurred, and it was filled in with surface soil and gravel. The kept no one to watch the embankment and guard it from injury arising from accident or design, or from the pressure of the impounded waters. They were careless and negligent in failing. to exercise such care and use such means as might and would have prevented the breaking of the reservoir, and the discharge of its contents into the river. The accident might have been prevented by the use of that high degree of care which was incumbent upon them under the circumstances. The injury reslilting from the breach of the reser'Voir was of a serious and lasting character. About 10 tons of fish, and nearly all of the animal life in the river, were destroyed. The polluted and poisonous water was taken into the mains of the complainant, whereby for some time the water was rendered unfit for domestic purposes, and increased sickness among the people was attributed to its use. The evidence does not satisfy the court that either the defendant or its general manager intentionally and purposely violated the injunction. However, with full knowledge of the noxious character of the refuse discharged from the mill, they purposely constructed
the on the bank of the river, and emptied into it daily ,3,000,000 gallons of deleterious refuse, for their own convenience and profit. They did this knowing the hazard of their undertaking, and the injury which must inevitably follow if the embankment gave way, and the .contents of the reservoir were emptied into the river. They were creating and storing this poisonous refuse for private gain, and they were enjoined by the decree of the court not to suffer or permit it to escape into the river. Negligently, but not willfully, they did suffer 3Jnd permit it so to escape. It is insisted by counsel that the defendants cannot 00 punished, because contempt of court is a specific criminal offense, and it is not shown that the injunction was willfully and intentionally violated by them. It is also said that the court possesses no rightful authority to punish the violation of a restraining order, when its violation is the result of mere careless 3Jlld negHgent conduct, unmixed with a contemptuous or criminal purpose. Broadly considered, contempts have been classified as "direct" and "constructive." Those which are committed within the presence of the court, while sitting judicially, or so near to the court as to interfere with or interrupt its orderly course of procedure, are direct contempts; and such contempts are usually punished in a summary manner, without evidence, upon view and personal knowledge of the presiding judge. Whittem v. State, 36 Ind. 196; Ex parte Wright, 65 Ind. 504; People v. Wilson, 64 Ill. 195. Contempts are constructive when they are committed not in the presence of the court, and tend by their operation to interrupt, obstruct, embarrass, or prevent the due and orderly administration of justice. Constructive contempts may be distributed into two general classes, namely: First, those. wherein the contemptuous acts primarily affect public rights or the due administration of public justice; and, second, those which primarily affect private rights, and only remotely and incidentally affect public rights or public justice. When the contempt consists in the failure or refusal of the party to do or refrain from doing something which he is ordered to do or refrain from doing for the benefit or advantage of the opposite party, the proceeding is not criminal, but is civil, and remedial in its nature. And in this sort of rontempt the intention with which the act was committed is immaterial, except in fixing the proper measure of punishment. The injury suffered by the complaining party is neither increased nor diminished, nor in any wise affected, by the state of mind towards the court of the party doing the forbidden act. The breach of the injunction consists in doing or failing to do the thing com· manded, and not in the intention with which the ad was done. This result would seem to follow necessarily from the foregoing classification of these proceedings, as well as from a consideration of the rights for whose vindication they are invoked; and this principle seems to be well supported by authority.

Schimmel, 59 Mich. 524, 26 N. W. '692; Spokes v. Banbury Board of Health, L. R. 1 Eq. 42, same case on appeal, 11 JUl'. (N. S.) 1011. In the case of Spokes v. Banbury Board of Health, supra, the defendants had been enjoined from permitting sewage to pass into the river Cherwell, to the injury of the plaintiff's mill, and a rule was entered requiring them to show cause why a writ of sequestration should not be awarded against them. The answer was that the defendants had found it almost impossible to obey the injunction literally, and that they had been trying to find means of rendering the sewage inoffensive, and that they had no purpose or intention to disregard the order of the court, or to treat it with contempt. Vice Chancellor William Page Wood (afterwards Lord Chancellor Hatherly) refused to entertain this defense, and held the- intent of the defendants immaterial, and ordered the writ to issue. Among other things, he said:
"I do not suppose they had any (and I certainly hope they had not any) mtentlon Of committing a willful breach of the order of the court, although I was not a little surprised to hear an eminent counsel tell me, not precisely that he would advise his clients to commit a willful breach, but that he would not advise them to do what was necessary to comply with the order of the court. I confess I was surprised to hear that, and I think It due to the dignity of the court to say that that is not the view which the court can take of its orders, but that the simple and only view Is that an order must be obeyed, and that those who wish to get rid of that order must do so by the proper course,,.--an appeal. So long as It exists, the order must be obeyed, and obeyed to the letter; and anyone who does not obey It to the letter Is guilty of committing a willful breach of ft, unless there be some misappre,hension. which all mankind are subject to, and which may mislead him upon the plain reading of the order."
On apppa,] the action of the vice chancellor was affirmed by Lord Justices Knight-Bruce arid Turner. In delivering judgment, Lord Justice Knight-Bruce said, that the writ was a matter of course, due to the plaintiff bv the law of the land, as the means of enforcing tM order. And Lord Justice Turner said:
"The defendants say that' there has been no willful breach of the order. But I do not ascribe to them any willful Intention of disobeying the injunction. Indeed; their action shows that there has been no purposed Intention ot defeating the decree of the court."
In the of Railroad Co" v. Thompson, supra, William M. Bannard, superintendent of the road, had been fined for contempt for violating an ix1,junction forbidding the, distribution and placing of cars in front of or neal' the dwelling house of the complainant, Thompson. On appeal the action of the court below was held erroneous, because it appeared that he had in good faith exercised the authority with which he was clothed, with an intention and purpose, to the besf.M his ability, to enforce obedience to the order of the court.. The opinion of the court delivered by Van Syckel, J., who said:
"I agree the1earned vice chancellor that If A. be ordered to pay a sum of money, and, being able to do so, fails to make the payment, It Is immaterial what motive pl.'onipted,the failure, or whether he Intended any disrespect of
the court. So, also, If A. be enjoined from so using a dam on his own land as to flood Bo's land, and by his failure to observe the injunction the land of B. is flooded. In such case It Is not a compliance with the order by A. to say, 'I will do what I can to protect the land of B.' A. Is bound to obey the order of the court. The Injury would be averted by the taking down of the dam, which Is within his power, and If he cannot avert the harm In any other way the court will listen to no excuse fOr his default. Tha·t is the principle established by the cases cited In the opinion of the vice chancellor."
It was further said:
"The question Is whether he exercised the authority with which he was clothed by the company In good faith, with an Intention and purpose, to the best of his ability, to enforce obedience to the mandate of the court. Any appearance of evasion on his part, or failure to do what might nasonably be required of him, would be fatal to his claim to relief."
In the case of Plate Co. v. Schimmel, supra, it is said:
"They were bound to obey the injunction, and they disobeyed it at their peril. Neither belief, motive, nor Intent with which the writ is disobeyed In any manner varies the responsibility of the party who violates it. On the contrary, they are liable for its violation, In whatever capacity. or from whatever motives, they may have actl:'d." People v. Sturtevant, 9 N. Y. 2G3; Richards v. West, 3 N. J. Eq. 456; People v. Spalding, 2 Paige, 326; Bank v. Waters, 10 Smedes & M. 55\); Monrol:' v. Harkness, 1 Uranch, U. C. 157, l!'ed. Cas. No. 9,715; .Mead v. Norris, 21 Wis. 310; Quackenbush v. Van Riper, 3 N. J. Eq. 350; Romeyn v. Caplls, 17 Mich. 449.
Counsel for defendants insist that whatever may be the doctrine of the English courts, and of the courts of the several states of the Union, it is settled by decisions of the supreme court that a proceeding whose object is the punishment of a party for the violation of an injunction is a criminal proceeding. In support of this doctrine, New Orleans v. Steamship 00., 20 Wall. 387; Ex parte Kearney, 7 Wheat. 39; Ex parte Robinson, 19 Wall. 505,-among others, are cited, and the following statement from the first of these cases is quoted:
"Contempt of court is a specific criminal offense. The Imposition of a fine "Yas a judgment In a criminal case. That part of the decree is as distinct from the residue as if it were a judgment on an indictment for perjury committed In a deposition read at the hearing."
A comparison of these decisions with later ones by the same court will show that the principle contended for is inapplicable to the present case. The case of Ex parte Kearney, supra, was an application to the supreme court for a writ of habeas corpus, where a person was imprisoned by the circuit court for the District of Columbia for a contempt in refusing, as a witness, to answer a question on the trial of an indictment.. The application was denied on the ground that the contempt was a criminal offen&e, and that the court had no appellate jurisdiction in such cases. The case of New Orleans v. Steamship Co., supra, was one where, in a suit in equity, a circuit court of the United States imposed a fine on a defendant for obtaining, during the pendency of the suit, from a state court, an injunction against the plaintiff as to a matter within the scope of the litigation pending in the federal court. It was said that the proceeding in the state court was unnecessary, unwarranted in law, and grossly disrespectful to the circuit court.' The court held that v.75F.no.10--62
, 75
the contempt proeeeding-s were fOl"acriminal offense, and that it had no appellate jurisdiction, for that reason. The case of Ex wrte ,Robinson, supra, .was a' petition for a mandamus to the judge of the district court for the Western district of Arkansas to show cause why he should not be required to vacate an oI'der disbarring the petitioner as an attorney, which disbarment had been adjudged as a punishment for Ili contempt of cClUrt committed in its presence, while sitting judicially. The court held that the contempt was a offense, but the writ was awarded, nevertheless, on the ground that the punishment was unauthorized, and hence the order of disbarment void. In all of these cases the contempts affected the due and orderly administration of justice, and were offenses against public right, which was sought to be vindicated by their punishment. The primary purpose' of the proceedings was to pun· ish offenses against the public, represented by its courts. No pri· vate interests were directly affected or assailed by these contempts. The later case of Worden v. Searls, 121 U. S. 14, 7 Sup. Ct. 814, was a suit in equity on a patent, in which, a preliminary injunction having been granted and violated, the circuit court, in proceedings and by two orders entitled in the suit, found the defendants guilty of contempt, and by one order directed that they pay to the plaintiff $250 "as a fine for said violation," and the co>sts of the proceed· ing, and stand committed till payment; and by the other order di· rected that the defendants pay a fine of $1,182 to the clerk, to be paid over by him to the plaintiff, "for damages and costs," and stand committed till payment,-the $1,182 being made up of $682 profits made by the infringement, and $500 expenses of the plaintiff in the contempt proceeding. On appeal it wa,s insisted that the suo preme court could not review the action of the circuit court in pun· ishing a contempt committed by a violation of the injunction: (1) Because the proceedings were criminal in their character; (2) be· cause the action of the circuit court is, by section 725 of the Revised Statutes, expressly made discretionary. Both of these col!tentions were rejected, and the jurisdiction of the court was as· serted on the ground that the fines were incidents of the plaintiff's suit, and his right to them was founded on his right to the injunction. And it was further held that the action of the court was not discretionary, in such a sense as to make its order unreviewable. Section 725 of the Revised Statutes of the United States declares that the courts of the United States shall have power to punish, by fine or imprisonment,' for contempts of their authority. And among the cases specially enumerated are:
"Disobedience or resistance by any officer of the court, or by any party, .juror, witness or other person, to any lawful writ, process, order, rule, decree, or command of said courts," .
Such has always been the power of the courts, both at common law and in equity; and as was said in Re Ohiles, 22 Wall. 157,168:
"The exercise of this power has a twofold aspect, naroely:First, the proper punishment of the guilty party for his disrespect to the court, or Its order; a.nd, second, to compel his performance of some act or duty required of hfm by the court, which he refuses to perform. Stimpson v. Putnam, 41 Vt. 238.
In the former case, the court must Ndge for itself the nature and extent of the punishment, with reference to the gravity of the offense. In the latter case, the party refusing to obey should be fined and imprisoned until he performs the act required of him, or shows that it is not in his power to do it."
The doctrine deducible from the former class of cases is that, when the contempt proceedings are prosecuted to vindicate a public right, they are crimina'l offenses, in which the intent is a material and necessary ingredient. Where, however, the proceedings are prosecuted either solely or primarily to enforce and vindicate private rights, which have been secured from violation by an interlocutory or final decree of the oourt, they are not criminal, but are civil, and remedial in their nature. As was said by Lord Justice Knight-Bruce in Spokes v. Banbury Board of Health, supra, where the breach of the injunction affects private rights the remedy by proceedings for contempt is a matter of course, due to the complainant by the law of the land, as the means of enforcing the order. It is quite plain that the complainant cannot be protected, except by the defendant preventing the escape of the refuse of its factory into the river. It has created the evil. It did not exist until it began to operate its works. It has accumulated these deleterious substances upon the bank of the river for its private gain, and through its negligence and want of care it has suffered them to escape into the river. It cannot excuse the breach of the injunction by showing that its negligence, and not its willfulness, caused the violation of the order. It undertook the experiment of preventing the escape of the refuse by building a reservoir, which, owing to its want of care, has proved insufficient. It has no right to experiment with the order of the court. Implicit obedience to its order is required, and proof of negligence will not excuse its breach. The remaining question is as to the remedy to be awarded to the complainant. Where the contempt consists in violating an injunction granted for the protection of the property rights of the complainant, it is said by the supreme court (In re Chiles, 22 Wall. 157, 158) that the proper punishment is fine or imprisonment until the offending party performs the act required of him, or shows that it is incapable of performance. The only way in which the defendant could, with absolute certainty, keep the refuse of its mill from escaping into the river, would be by oeasing to operate the same. The circumstances here do not seem to me, at this time, to require the infliction of a punishment which would stop the operation of the mill. It is said to be the duty of the court, and within its power, and in accordance with its practice, to commit the offending party to the custody of the marshal until such offending party shall compensate the injured party for the damage sustained by the breach of the injunction. In my judgment, the court has the power to commit the offending party until he shall make compensation to the injured party, in a case where the damages caused by a breach of the injunction are capable of liquidation according to the practice of the court. In the present case, however, the damages are unliqUidated, and difficult of ascertainment, and ought not to be settled except by the intervention of a jury. I must therefore de-
cline to ascertain them in this proceeding. It ma,y be that the court would have the power to require the defendant to give security for the payment of damages to be ascertained by the verdict of a jury. But this case does not seem to call for the exercise of any such power, as the defendant and its general manager are amply able to respond in damages for any injury suffered by the complainant. The breach of the injunction arose from the negligence, and not from the willfulness, of the defendant and its officers; and it was not known by them that, by negligently suffering or permitting the refuse of the mill to escape into. the river, they would be regarded as in contempt for violating the injunction heretofore granted. In view of these facts, it seems to me that the court ought to impose fine only. As the complainant was fully justified in a moving against the defendant and its general manager, it is entitled to costs, with a moderate allowance for its solicitors' fees. Dia,s v. Merle, 2 Paige, 494. An order may be prepared, adjudging the American Strawboard Company and O. D. Macy, its general manager, guilty of contempt in disobeying the injunction heretofore granted, and assessing a fine against them of $250, to be paid to the clerk of the court for the use of the complainant, together with the costs of this proceeding, to be taoced.

On Wednesday's broadcast of CNN's "Wolf," Democratic presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) stated that the FBI's "serious investigation" found "serious problems" with presumptive Democratic presidential nominee former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's handling of classified information.
Sanders said that the FBI "seems to have done a pretty thorough investigation."
When asked if he thought the FBI came to a "fair conclusion," Sanders answered, "I don't know the answer to that. I mean, it seemed to be a reasonable — he's a serious guy, and I think it was a serious investigation."
Later, he was asked, "So the question is, do you have confidence in the way Hillary Clinton handled classified information during her four years as secretary of state?"
Sanders responded, "I think what the FBI report said is, there was serious problems. And you know, that's what the case is."
After criticizing Republicans for politicizing the issue, Sanders conceded that the FBI was very tough on Clinton, and it's the FBI's job to be "objective" and "fair." And that the FBI did "what appears to me to be a serious investigation."
Sanders added that both presumptive nominees, Clinton and Donald Trump should have access to classified information as the nominees.

Let Love And Pride Never Fade
In our most nepotistic article to date, Bob Perfect writes about his best friends' band. That band is Go! Go! Bronco though so we doubt you'd mind too much. Here's a look back at the last six years of one of the wildest, loudest and most debaucherous bands to have come out of Durban. I know this article is late, really late, but it took Go! Go! Bronco six years to release an album so it seems fitting. I have to admit... Read More

Rocking The Coast
One day, when Matt Knight writes another review, there will be a review free from genital references on this site. But until then, here's Bob Perfect's review of Rocking The Coast with E.X.P.L.O.S.I.O.N, Lowprofile and Manuvah To Land. Ah, Toti. My impression of the place is that if Umhlanga and Pinetown had a kid and left that kid to grow up on the street, sniffing glue and selling their body, but then that child got adopted by a loving...

Ron was raised in a family where his father and three brother were all motorcyclists. His first bike was a 1948 CZ that his father purchased from Ralph Moore. That same back had also been Rick Moore's first bike. In 1959, at the age of 11, Ron rode his first event at a cross country race in Lynnville, IN. He got lost and ended up finding a large crane that was used to dig out coal and played around by riding "inside" of its huge bucket.
He won overall at the Beer Can Derby in 1964. He served in the U.S. Navy, and was deployed to Vietnam after graduating high school in 1966. When his ship returned to the states in 1968, he purchased a bike and raced at scrambles and T.T. in the California area, including Ascot Park T.T. and obtained his novice license.
In 1972, Ron began reading about the I.S.D.T. that was to be held in the U.S. for the first time in 1973. He qualified for the U.S. team and rode an innovative Rokon for the factory to a Bronze Medal. In 1974, he qualified 16th position for the U.S. team going to I.S.D.T. in Italy. He rode factory Penton to a Bronze medal. In 1975, Ron qualified for the U.S. team and rode a factory Ossa to a Silver Medal at the I.S.D.T. on the Isle of Man. In 1976 and 1978 he qualified once again for the I.S.D.T. , traveling to Austria and Sweden.
In 1979, he qualified for the U.S. team and raced a factory SWM in the I.S.D.T. in West Germany. This was his last time trying out for the I.S.D.T.'s. Ron decided to purchase his very first "on" road bike in 1986, a BMW R80. In 1997, he returned to riding off road enduros for fun and purchased his first KTM. He recently purchased a 990 KTM Adventure bike, and rode the Colorado Rocky Mountain Pass at the age of 66, almost 67. He hopes to continue riding for as long as he is physically possible, and his wife lets him.

Server-to-Server (S2S) Install Tracking
NOTE: A 3rd party or in-house attribution service provider is needed to correctly run campaigns in Unity Ads.
To help launch CPI campaigns in Unity Ads, we allow developers to send install tracking information via a server-to-server integration, so the advertised applications do not need to be updated to include install tracking specifically for Unity Ads. This document instructs you to integrate a third party install tracking service or your own application servers to notify Unity Ads of new installs in your iOS and Android games.
Winner-only Transmission Install Tracking
If you already use an external mobile install tracking service, such as Kochava (a preferred Unity Asset store partner), AppsFlyer, Adjust, or Branch (formerly Tune), you can easily configure a Tracking URL in Unity Ads to notify your install tracking service the views (or clicks) and then configure an Unity Ads Postback URL in your install tracking service to notify Unity Ads about the install conversions.
Tracking URL
The Unity Ads Admin Panel lets you define a Custom Tracking URL for your campaigns. This URL reports the user's identification at impressions (or clicks) of the campaign to your install tracking service. This information is then used by the service to attribute any subsequent installs to the correct ad network and make a callback to that network with the proper user details.
Dynamic Custom Tracking URL Tokens
The following dynamically replaced tokens are available in the Tracking URL:
{ifa} (on iOS)
|iOS Identifier for Advertising (IDFA) in plain text in its original (upper case) form: "33EB7AE0-2950-4A69-B290-88038EB4324D".
{ifa} (on Android)
|Google Advertising ID in its original (lower case) form: "b7cd3f27-8064-44b6-b9f6-a7657a5f399d4". This will replace the Android ID as the primary identification method on Android. During the transition phase, both identifiers need to be run in parallel.
{ifa_md5} (on iOS)
|iOS Identifier for Advertising (IDFA) in md5 hashed form, hashed from upper case form: "DE7A778EA2B8D2BCA909A860EC705090".
{ifa_md5} (on Android)
|Google Advertising ID in md5 hashed form, hashed from (lower case) form: "53E2A8B25482634D1EE14245330AF063".
|MD5 hashed Android ID of the Android devices. This should only be used when the Google Advertising ID {ifa} is not available (when Google Play Services is not installed on the Android device). Only in MD5 hashed. For example: MD5 ("dc57ba135d7521d8") = "5e0572516f9657268ae0a7ef4f7a5bd1"
|IP number of the user in the format "220.127.116.11″. This is provided as informational purposes only – not suitable for user identification in install tracking.
|User's ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code in lower case (note: gb for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.)
|Unity Ads campaign ID, for example "546b9257365339e0031572bd"
|Unity Ads campaign name
|Unity Ads gameId of the advertised game, for example "11004"
|Unity Ads gameId of the publisher game where the user is seeing the ad, for example "11017"
|Operating system of the device, for example: "9.2.1" (iOS), "4.4.0" (Android)
|Device type, for example: "iPad4,1", "motorola XT1254", "samsung SM-G900F"
|Name of the creative pack, for example "Video Creatives Pack - EN - 15s"
|Unique identifier for the creative pack, for example "5beafbce74ed83001acb258c".
|Device language, for example: "en-GB"
|Device user agent, for example: "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 9_3_5 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/601.1.46 (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile/13G36" (iOS), "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 6.0.1; SM-G920V Build/MMB29K) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.98 Mobile Safari/537.36" (Android)
|Device maker, for example: "Apple" (iOS), "samsung" (Android)
|Device model, for example: "iPhone7,2" (iOS), "SM-G900F" (Android)
|Cost per install in $US for example: 2.85
|Returns orientation of the creative that was shown: "portrait" or "landscape. Note: Only available on Unity Ads SDK 2.0 or above
|Only available on Android devices. Returns the screen size based on the targeting available in the advertising dashboard: small, normal, large or xlarge
|Only available on Android devices. Returns the screen density based on the targeting available in the advertising dashboard: ldpi, mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi, xxhdpi, xxxhdpi
Make sure ALL your tracking URLs comply with the following requirements, otherwise the attribution will not work correctly:
- URL and any redirection uses HTTPS
- URL contains at least the {ifa} dynamic custom token
- HTTP Redirections should be done via HTTP 3XX codes and not via HTML/Javascript
- URL does not redirect to the App Store or Google Play
If you are using a tracking provider that does not support HTTPS, please contact us at email@example.com and we will help you.
For example for an AppsFlyer Tracking URL:
will be appear as:
Server responses to Impressions or Clicks
The Tracking URL can be fired either from an impression (i.e. when the user watched the campaign) or a click (when the user clicks the download link at the end screen after the video has ended). In both cases the URL should not redirect to the Apple App Store or Google play and the server should respond with an HTTP 200 OK. UnityAds SDK will load the respective store page in an app sheet to avoid directing the player outside of the game currently being player.
Postback URL Request
Reporting the converted users, i.e. the new installs of the campaign is done via a Postback URL. The installs can be reported with HTTP GET requests. The URL iOS is:
and in Android:
GAME_ID is your Unity Ads Game ID. You can find this ID by logging into the Unity Ads Admin Panel and selecting Campaigns under ACQUIRE menu and looking at the Game list on the page. Note that, the iTunes ID or Google Play ID of your game should not be used in the place of the Unity Ads Game ID currently.
Note: For existing users, the legacy impact.applifier.com domain will continue working in parallel with the new postback.unityads.unity3d.com domain, but we encourage you to migrate to the new one.
Postback URL Parameters
The following identification parameters must be relayed in the Postback URL request. The supported parameters are:
advertisingTrackingId (on iOS)
|Identifier for Advertising (IDFA) in the UPPERCASE form: "XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX". Compulsory for all installs (either raw form or md5 must be used).
advertisingTrackingIdMD5 (on iOS)
|Identifier for Advertising (IDFA) in md5 hashed form, hashed from lowercase form. Compulsory for all installs (either raw form or md5 must be used).
advertisingTrackingId (on Android)
|Google Advertising ID in the lowercase form: "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxx". Compulsory for all installs whenever available (either raw form or md5 must be used).
advertisingTrackingIdMD5 (on Android)
|Google Advertising ID in md5 hashed form, hashed from lowercase form. Compulsory for all installs whenever available (either raw form or md5 must be used).
|Unique Unity Ads identifier used for attributing users that has Limited Ad Tracking (LAT) ON, where the value of the advertising identifier is 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000. GamerId form: 58c116080dbe250047a2a398 Mandatory when attributing iOS fingerprinted users
|Android ID (from its original lower case form). Not recommended. This parameter is not needed if the Android device has correctly integrated Google Play Services and has Google Play installed. It is compulsory for all Android installs which don't have Google Advertising ID (Devices that don't have Google Play Services and related integrated)
|Android ID (an MD5 hash from its original form). Not recommended. This parameter is not needed if the Android device has correctly integrated Google Play Services and has Google Play installed. It is compulsory for all Android installs which don't have Google Advertising ID (Devices that don't have Google Play Services and related integrated)
|Flag (1 or 0) denoting whether this install is attributed to Unity Ads and can be charged. The default is attributed=1. With attributed=0, the install will only be marked to the player and will not be charged. Note: this parameter should only used if using Blanket Transmission, i.e. all installs are sent instead of just attributed.
Postback URL Response Format
Responses from Unity Ads' install tracking server are output as JSON. If the message was received successfully, the server will respond with a status field, with the value of ok. The server also always outputs it's HTTP response code.
The response includes a parameter
"install":true if the postback initiated a successful conversion, i.e. a chargeable install. If this was not a valid conversion, for instance, the user had already installed the game or the lookback window has passed, the response will read
In addition, in case the conversion was successful the source game id is displayed in a sourceGame parameter. Advertiser can use this parameter to block certain source games or publishers based on the quality of traffic they produce. If the conversion was not successful, the sourceGame parameter is omitted.
If the status field is not present, any available errors are available in the field error.
Note: the status code does not indicate whether this postback call was actually recorded as a chargeable install in the Unity Ads. It onlys states that the message was successfully received and processed. For the chargeable install, use the "install":true instead.

How It All Works:
Getting Things Ordered:
You order your ring, or contact us for a custom design. If you're doing a custom design, you tell us what you want and we'll send you photo-realistic preview renders. Next....
Your diamond or gem is chosen. You can have us select the best one for you, or we'll send you photos, certificates, and prices of various diamonds to look at. We use the International Diamond Exchange, a vast professional marketplace with hundreds of thousands of diamonds from the most reputable global sellers. Then....
After you've paid for your ring, we send a wire transfer (see why these guys need to be reputable?) to purchase the diamond and it's express shipped to us; sometimes from NYC, sometimes from Antwerp, India, or other far reaches of the world. Once we've received and inspected your globe-trotting diamond and verified it against the certificate, ring production can begin!
Using specialized jeweler's CAD technology, we'll adjust the model to your exact ring size, tweak any settings that need changing (for example to accommodate the exact dimensions of the diamond), and send the file to a high-tech facility in Louisiana.
Starting Production:
There, a gloriously expensive set of gizmos is used to precision-grow your casting wax to the exact specifications in the CAD file. This isn't 3-D printing or hand carving; it's an exact model of the CAD file. Once that's done....
Your ring is cast using advanced equipment and carefully developed alloys (including the whitest white gold on the market).
We follow beyond best practices to get a perfect casting without porosity or other common imperfections; the results are smooth, crisp, and bright. Your casting is expertly clipped, cleaned, and pre-finished by hand. After that....
The chosen gems are laid out, measured, and the settings hand-cut and filed. Larger, center gems we can do in-house. Setting melee (the small accent gems) is a specialized skill that takes a lifetime to perfect, so we send that to be done under a microscope by some of the most skilled career stone setters in the United States.
Once setting is complete, your ring is hand polished. Each polishing wheel is made with a specific fabric or felt, and is charged with a jeweler's polishing compound. Your ring is polished on the first, coarsest wheel, then completely cleaned. The ring and the operator's hands must be free of any traces of the coarser compound before moving onto the next, finer wheel.
This process is repeated over 4-8 wheels until your ring is polished to maximum brilliance on a micron level using a fine European compound used on the highest end watches and jewelry.
We inspect and photograph your new ring, put it in a fine two-tone wooden box, and send it to you via FedEx Express. We have a special insurance program through FedEx called DVX, which is one of the only ways to get 100% insurance coverage on fine jewelry during transit. Your ring will be delivered securely to your door in perfect condition. We also offer personal delivery of high value rings.
Diamonds and Pricing:
When you order, we spend hours expertly reviewing certificates and photos of available diamonds to choose you the best looking and largest gem, as though we would be wearing it ourselves. We prefer GIA and AGS certified diamonds; for rare sizes and cuts we'll consider AGL, HRD, or GCAL as well.
Diamond prices vary even within one grade; in high-end diamonds, the price variation can be significant (as much as $225k on one gem we recently priced!) To ensure we can choose you a wonderful diamond, we plan to pay on the high end of average when we set our ring prices. You'll be wearing it for the rest of your life; you don't want the cheapest diamond within your grade, but the nicest. For the most accurate pricing, contact us at the time of your order.
Want to pick it out yourself from a vast selection on the International Diamond Exchange? Let us show you what's actually on the market at the time of your order and you may have the opportunity to choose a less expensive gem. If you like this ring but not the price, a different grade or smaller diamond can align it better with your budget.
Production Time:
Averages 4 weeks after the diamond or gem arrives, and ranges from 3-8, occasionally 10 weeks. Because this is a multi-stage, precision process, sometimes things need to be re-done. We also have to rely on the mail and other people and companies who can have equipment breakdowns or illnesses. We refuse to ship any ring that isn't 100% perfect, and if for example the mold isn't perfect, or the ring returns damaged from the stone setters, we will re-make the entire thing if that's what needs to be done.
Setting an engagement date?
Please don't make any fixed or non-refundable plans hoping we will beat our stated production times. That risks turning what should be one of the happiest moments of your life into a stressful one. You're having custom jewelry fabricated from scratch to the highest quality standards; it takes a while.
If you absolutely must propose before your ring is ready, or want to have backup just in case, we can send you a loaner ring. They're made out of CZ and base metal, but they look real and can stand in until the actual ring arrives.

Today, Spasskaya Tower has opened its gates for tourists. Now you can walk through the Kremlin: enter in Kutafia Tower and go out at the other side – right to the Red Square.
The new exit creates a simplified route for tourists: now they can go immediately to the Red Square from the Kremlin (previously you had to go round to reach the Historical Museum, GUM, and St. Basil's Cathedral).
Until now, the Spasskaya Tower has been closed for visitors. Its gates were opened only for the passage of the president's cortege during the inauguration, as well as to deliver a Christmas tree to the Kremlin.
Now visitors can use only the official passage located near the gates of the tower. According to the Kremlin representatives, the gates themselves will be open if the flow of tourists in the area increases.
