Prostate cancer research breakthrough from Sydney's Centenary Institute
By Ashley Hall
Researchers from the Origins of Cancer group have opened the door to a new treatment for prostate cancer which can starve cancer cells.
The breakthrough was discovered by a team led by Associate Professor Jeff Holst at Sydney's Centenary Institute, which identified three specific nutrients that prostate cancer cells need to grow.
"What we've discovered this time around is that prostate cancer cells increase one of the pumps that bring a nutrient called glutamine into the cells," Professor Holst said.
"If we can block the pumps that bring glutamine into the cells, then we can actually starve the cancer cells and stop them from growing."
Professor Holst said an increase in the number of pumps provided the ability to target those pumps and selectively block the cancer cells and not the surrounding normal cells.
Every year in Australia, more than 3,000 men die from prostate cancer and more than 20,000 men are told they have the disease.
Currently there are good therapies for early-diagnosis prostate cancer but not for the cancer in its late stages.
Jim Marshall, 69, was given his diagnosis about five and a half years ago.
"It was very aggressive," Mr Marshall said.
"The score of aggressiveness is Gleason score and mine was nine out of 10.
"So it was a large, locally advanced, aggressive prostate cancer."
After treatment with radiation and hormone therapy, Mr Marshall is now in remission.
"It means I can get about my life," he said.
"I run a group for men with advanced prostate cancer. I have children and grandchildren. And I can take part in the community and family life."
With a Gleason score of nine Mr Marshall said the cancer was likely to return sooner rather than later, however if it does a new treatment may be available from the breakthrough by Professor Holst and his team.
Professor Holst said the next step involved identifying a drug to switch off the nutrient pump.
"And we actually together with some researchers at the University of Sydney have the first such compounds that we're currently testing, first of all in our cell models, but also we're moving into what are called tumour explants where we take a piece of a patient's prostate, grow it in a dish and put these compounds on and see if it's able to stop the cells growing in that context," he said.
Early last year Professor Holst identified a nutrient pump associated with melanoma cancer cells but he said the field of research had grown enormously since then.
"The fact that there's big labs around the world finding these same mechanisms at work in other cancer cells is encouraging because it means if we can get these therapies into the clinic it's going to have broader implications than just prostate cancer," he said.
Jim Marshall is optimistic he will see the new treatment within his lifetime.
"Because it can also affect your sons and grandsons, your nephews and great-nephews more than the general public, many men have, besides worrying about their own future, an eye to what might be useful to other members of their family who may be affected in the future," he said.

Nothing quite says fall to me like cranberries, so why not have them in some tea? Tea Drift's Cranberry Immune Booster definitely has that distinctive fruity tang, and pineapple, papaya, peach, passionfruit, mango, hibiscus and apricot come along for the ride.
Even with that melange of flavors, the cranberry shines through (mostly thanks to the hibiscus). There's also a faint whisper of mango and papaya, even with the huge chunks of fruit in this blend. I bet this would be fantastic as an iced tea!

They say the eyes are "the windows to the soul," and whether or not it's true, it is telling that we'd accord windows such an important and poetic association. To say eyes are the "windows" to the soul is to say they offer a glimpse into something special, and that is, after all, what the best windows do. Home décor is taking off in popularity, but the true home decorating champs know that it's the little things which can turn a good home into a great one and a room into an absolute masterpiece.

That Double-Glazed Look

Recently I might have been rough posting this message on my Instagram account, but I didn't mean to be harsh. Let me explain.
I used to believe "Follow your Passion" was the most excellent advice anyone could get, especially since Steve Jobs gave this advice on his speech to Standford graduates. It made perfect sense; everyone wants to have a great life and following what you are passionate about should amplify the chances of that happening.
I started listening to the audiobook "So Good They Can't Ignore You" by Cal Newport, and before I even finished the second chapter, I was compelled to think about the message it brought right away.
Look at it this way
First off, a lot of great things that have been invented were not created based on passion. One of the most prominent examples is Apple. Steve Jobs did not get into manufacturing computers because he was passionate about it. He got into that because he saw an opportunity, and it turned out to be a successful business. His passion at the time was spiritualism, and creating personal computers was his primary purpose at that time. He saw an opportunity, and he took it. He focused on making great products and somewhere along the way he became passionate about building great products and, well, you know the rest of the story.
I am a software developer. One of my passions growing up was being or becoming an architect; becoming a software engineer was not one of them. Growing up, I never thought about being a programmer. Surprisingly I can now say that I have a passion for writing software.
Why following your passion could be wrong.
You can follow your emotions at any time. You might even feel passionate about doing something. You can also remain passionate about something for a long time, but that doesn't necessarily mean you will be happy or prosperous once you start following your "passion." Let me give you an example; I cannot cook to save my life. Let's imagine that tomorrow I developed the urge to open up a restaurant and be the chef at this said restaurant. After a few months that call turns into a passion, I pick up cooking and start learning more about it. I take out a loan and open up a restaurant. I followed my passion. If I get lucky that could turn into a "thing," but that would be highly unlikely because there are many other chefs in my city that have more experience at creating amazing dishes and running a restaurant business. In the end, I could end up in debt due to a failed attempt at running a restaurant.
What's the alternative? Why being practical pays off
By no means am I wealthy, affluent person or anything related, at least not yet. However, I focused on the craftsman mindset, and I can now say that I am now reaping the benefits of doing that. What is the craftsman mindset? As Cal Newport mentions in his book, we tend to look at the World and try to figure out what the World can do for us, instead of focusing on what we can provide to the World or how we can make it better. In short, taking value instead of offering value. What I realized, early on, while listening to the book was that gaining skills in your current field pays off. Circling back to my story, I stayed firm on polishing my programming skills, learning new things on my own until I reached an adequate level of expertise. Now, I can say I am passionate about what I do and being skilled at it helped.
My Advise/Conclusion
Be practical, find out if the job you currently have has a way to build career capital, which is a way to leverage your experience over time when you go find your next job. Make sure that your job is providing value to the World and that you do not have to deal with people you hate to be able to do your work. If what you are currently doing to earn a living meets any of these three criteria, does not build career capital, does not bring value to the World or having to work with unlikeable people, change careers. Otherwise, hone in on increasing your skill level and be patient to start feeling a passion for what you do. Eventually, you will have enough "career capital" to be successful and be passionate about what you do.

I've been down on netbooks because a) they suck and b) they're underpowered. Now, however, if your $299 kleinewunderbuk is too slow, the Internet has a fix.
YouTube, for example, can be a big resource hog on many netbooks. Streaming video through a Flash player? As if! The Space Shuttle can't even do that kind of processing on the freaking fly!
Now there is YouTube Feather a stripped-down version of YouTube for people who can't handle the full 'Tube. Here's how they describe it:
This is an opt-in beta for "Feather" support on YouTube. The "Feather" project is intended to serve YouTube video watch pages with the lowest latency possible. It achieves this by severely limiting the features available to the viewer and making use of advanced web techniques for reducing the total amount of bytes downloaded by the browser. It is a work in progress and may not work for all videos.
Look, YouTube videos are up there with Christianity and Big Macs in terms of Things Americans Deserve. If you bought into the netbook craze and can't use yours to watch YouTube, then by all means force the Internet to work around your limitations.
I mean you NEED to watch this, don't you?

Special to the Tribune
What with all the winter rains, this is the season for wildflowers. And appropriately enough, it's also time for the Regional Parks Botanic Garden's annual native plant sale, proceeds of which support Botanic Garden programs.
The garden is located at the intersection of South Park Dive and Wildcat Canyon Road in Tilden Regional Park near Berkeley. The general public sale will be from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 15. A members-only sale for Friends of the RPBG will be from 9-10 a.m. Memberships can be purchased at the garden starting at 8:30 a.m.
All kinds of native California plants will be available for purchase. Garden staff members and volunteers will be on hand to offer expert advise on which plants are suitable for your particular garden, and how to care for them.
The sale is always popular, so it's best to arrive early to ensure a good selection. Bring your own small wagon or boxes to carry away your purchases. Parking and garden entry are both free of charge. There's parking on Anza View Road, a one-way road that loops off Wildcat Canyon Road behind the Brazil Building.
As long as we're at Tilden, there are several fun programs planned the same weekend at the Environmental Education Center.
First in line is ring and pin build, a game common to many California native cultures. From 1-4 p.m. on Saturday, April 15, naturalist Anthony Fisher will show visitors how to create their own game to take home, using acorn caps, dogbane and a twig.
You don't have to see a bird to identify it; you can do so by its call and song. Naturalist Trent Pearce will lead a program on bird calls from 8-9:30 a.m. on Sunday, April 16.
And all ages will enjoy the puppet show from 1-2 p.m. on Sunday, April 16, on the theme of local wildlife and the challenges that all kinds of animals can face. Interpretive student aide Sharona Kleinman is the puppeteer.
The center is located at the north end of Tilden's Central Park Drive. For information, call (510) 544-2233.

Spring Break Discovery Days are scheduled from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, April 19-21 at Coyote Hills Regional Park in Fremont.

Last month we hosted a webinar, Email Marketing 101 led by iContact Strategic Advisor, Letitia Petway, who outlined some of the basics of email marketing.
If you missed the webinar, you can watch it here.
Our listeners had a lot of lively questions. Time did not permit us to answer all of them, so we asked Letitia to come back and address a few more of your questions.
Q: How do you create a pre-header in an iContact pre-built template?
It's pretty easy to add preheader text to a MessageBuilder template. Simply add a block to the very top of your email and enter your text. Here are some tips for creating effective preheaders.
Q: How do you set up your SPF?
The SPF record is set up on the back end of your domain server. Your web hosting service (i.e. Wix or GoDaddy) should be able to direct you to the correct location within settings to add our sending domain icpbounce.com. Check out our PDF, How to Set up Your iContact SPF Record for more detailed information.
Q: What is the best way to "clean out" my contacts list?
List-cleaning is one of the topics we get asked about most frequently. It's easy to see why. Maintaining a healthy mailing list is key to the success of email marketing. If you have a Premier Account, your Strategic Advisor can run a non-opener report for you and help you weed out unengaged subscribers. If you do not have a Premier account, you can still DIY your list cleaning. We've pulled together a number of resources to help you tackle email list cleaning chores, so get scrubbing!
Q: I'm still confused on the difference between open rate and click. Do you not "click" in order to open an email?
iContact tracking is based on downloading images or clicking links. Sure, you have to select the desired email to open; however, if you do not download images iContact will not recognize the email has been opened. On the contrary, if you do not download images, but click a link within the email, iContact will recognize this action as an open and a click.
Q: How do I collect names for a mailing list? I do not have enough.
There are many ways to build your subscriber list. Trade shows, website forms, social media, training and events are all great ways to build your subscriber lists. The important thing is to build your lists organically, not purchase lists. The organic method takes longer but will yield infinitely better results. Here are some additional tips to help you grow your email list.
Q: If I shorten my section blocks and provide a link to "read more" in each block, will that lower the chances for the reader to come back to the newsletter and finish reading all of the sections?
It's always best to identify the goal of your email. Do you want subscribers to engage with you on your website? Do you want to simply share information? Once you identify your goal, you can make the best decision on your layout. If you want to build your website engagement, it's important to include a few lines of teaser text and allow your "more" link to take the subscriber to the website for additional information. You want to cross-promote the information across your emails and your website.
Don't be too concerned with the subscriber coming back to the email; if a subscriber reached your website after reading any portion of your email, the message served its purpose. You can count that email as a success. The different sections are meant to appeal to the interests of a variety of subscribers.

It aims to do this from the perspectives of a select group of visual artists and DJs, through the exploration of their personal connections with each other's countries and societies. What do we find when we search for these connections? This question is central and will be explored both at the exhibition titled Rethinking HOME on September 11, 2016 and in the Koneksi-Connectie ADE Special on October 21, 2016, during the Amsterdam Dance Event. For both projects, all artists and DJs have been selected based on the themes surrounding their works: heritage, identity, authenticity, history, movement/migration/borders and memories.

Memoir '44: Simple Board Game Mechanics, Deep Fun and Learning
Memoir '44, released to mark the 60th anniversary of D-Day in 2004, is a strategy board game with deceptively simple movement and combat rules. It comes with just three general types of combat units (infantry, tanks, and artillery) to represent the armed might of the Axis and Allies. But it's the way that these simple units and rules combine with a diverse deck of command and tactic cards and special battle dice that gives Memoir '44 its real heft as both a game and a potential learning tool for homeschoolers, gifted learners, and history buffs.
In the base game package, you get everything in the image above: Full manual with 16+ scenarios, double-sided map board, US and German army packs, unit symbols and obstacles for both armies, terrain tiles, quick reference cards, battle dice and a deck of combat and tactics cards.
Here are individual examples of the infantry, tanks, and artillery pieces included in the package. Note that the armaments are appropriate to the US and German forces in WW2 (even though, in a scenario, a US tank may be representing a British armored unit).
Memoir '44: Game or Learning Tool?
While also fun and engaging, the game mechanics are incredibly suited to teaching about combat and strategic situations facing the Axis and Allies in the latter stages of World War 2. Which is why I will be using it in an online workshop beginning with the summer 2018 session. (Note, the game is sold separately from the 6-webinar class.)
What value could there possibly be in pushing tiny tanks and infantry around a game board, you might wonder? Isn't this just going to make playing the scenarios 'boring' if students have to think about the little details of combat?
Well, allow me to lay out some pros right off the bat.
- The first few scenarios put players in the shoes of paratroopers, GI's, Rangers, and various German defenders during the D-Day invasion. Just ask Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks if recreating Omaha Beach sounds boring.
- The structure of the missions, combined with varied terrain layouts and scenario-specific rules, help build an instinctive understanding of what it was like to fight in various locations across Europe.
- Helpfully, the scenarios each come with a brief, flavorful introduction to the situation, units, and personalities involved. This opens up opportunities for deeper investigation by a student.
And that's before you even play a game. Once in a scenario, Memoir '44 provides additional opportunities for hands-on learning and excitement.
- Differentiated movement, terrain, and combat rules for different unit types help players understand combined arms in combat, including advantages or disadvantages relative to other combat units and terrain.
- The allocation of command and control cards reinforces the strategic or tactical 'advantages' present in a given real-world scenario.
- Random allocation of cards and battle dice rolls will potentially turn the tide one way or the other, providing variance of outcomes (anyone can win!).
In other words, taken all together, you get situations where an Allied beach assault is repulsed, Paris is not liberated or the Battle of the Bulge succeeds.
The Strategic Level
One last great aspect of Memoir '44 as a game AND learning tool is that it tasks both players with approaching the scenario as each antagonist and measuring the outcomes against each other. Did the historical victor emerge properly for both players in a scenario when they attempted that side? Well, which player emerged with a more convincing victory? That player is the one who will bask in overall victory. This takes some of the sting, potentially, out of getting a bad hand of command and tactics cards or the dice going cold. Both players will switch sides and go again, leaving the player who lost the last fight to seek sweet, sweet revenge.
And speaking of those scenarios, they span five different battles on D-Day all the way to the piercing of Germany by Allied troops. There's a huge variety of gameplay available across the various scenarios. Just as an example, one battle may ask you to drop allied figures from a certain height to constitute additional paratrooper positions in an infantry v. infantry close assault. A later scenario may be dominated by tanks and artillery. Every scenario plays differently and that matters. Every battle was different, after all.
Memoir '44 is a GREAT value. First off, there's easily twenty hours of gameplay in the initial box, even if you only play a given scenario from each side once. We've often replayed a scenario multiple times where dice or command cards seemed to really tip the balance on a fight just to see if we could win with better luck. Additionally, if you like the base game, there are a large number of expansion packs that re-release periodically and add additional equipment (e.g. anti-tank rifles), additional armies (the British!), additional terrain, additional scenarios and theaters of war, and a whole lot more. Whether your student joins us for a workshop, or you choose to play and discuss as part of your homeschooling education there is a ton of fun and learning to be had with Memoir '44.

WASHINGTON — Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens' felony conviction won't block him from casting a vote for himself in Tuesday's election.
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
Stevens was found guilty Monday on seven counts of trying to hide more than $250,000 in free home renovations and other gifts that he received from a wealthy oil contractor.
Alaska law says "a person convicted of a crime that constitutes a felony involving moral turpitude under state or federal law may not vote in a state, federal, or municipal election from the date of the conviction through the date of the unconditional discharge of the person."
The state attorney general's office determined that while Stevens' crimes fit the definition of "a felony involving moral turpitude," a guilty verdict isn't technically a "conviction" until he is sentenced.
Since Stevens has not been sentenced yet, he is eligible to vote in the general election, said Gail Fenumiai, director of the Alaska Division of Elections.
Stevens won't be sentenced until early next year. He faces a maximum 35 years in prison, but is likely to get far less, if any, prison time. If re-elected, he also could face an expulsion vote in the Senate, or senators could recommend a lesser sanction.
The 84-year-old Republican senator, who has represented Alaska in the Senate since 1968, is in a tight race with Democratic challenger Mark Begich, the mayor of Anchorage.
Several politicians, including GOP presidential candidate John McCain and running mate Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, have called on Stevens to resign. But the senator has said he plans to fight his conviction and for re-election.

Tag: thank you
Merry Christmas!
"It's the most wonderful time of the year."
And at this most magical time, I would like to say thank you.
Thank you for all your support this year, it means so much to me. I'm especially grateful to everyone who subscribes, letting me pop up in your inboxes every now and again.
Thank you for your comments. Reading your kind words always puts a huge smile on my face, boosts my spirits, and inspires me to keep going especially when my Chronic Fatigue Syndrome symptoms have flared up and I'm feeling really rubbish.
And last but definitely not least, a HUGE thank you to to everyone who's joined in with my Kindness Advent Calendar this year and has been spreading a little more kindness throughout December. You really are AMAZING and I'm so excited that together we are making the world a kinder place.
Wishing you all a wonderfully magical Christmas and a brand new year filled with all that you wish for, and so much more.
Festive love+hugs, Helen Xxx
Kindness Act #12: Thank you note
Being kind by writing a thank you note to a helpful stranger:
I've just started a new treatment plan with a private clinic and am having a few tests to try and establish the root causes of the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
After carefully studying the comprehensive and specific instructions for one home-based test, my brain-fogged mind felt rather confused and I needed some help and guidance.
I knew I had to call the clinic but was feeling reluctant as I didn't want to bother them.
I also didn't want to appear paranoid, or pernickety, or dumb!
But as I'm investing quite a lot of money into this treatment plan, I want to make sure I do everything I can to ensure optimum results.
It took a few times to get through to the clinic, which fuelled my anxiety as I knew it meant they were busy.
But when I did get to speak to someone, she was simply fabulous.
In her soothing Welsh tones, she patiently and kindly answered all of my questions, which were actually completely validated, and gently talked me through the whole process.
What a relief!
As well as thanking her on the phone, I knew I wanted to thank her in a special way.
I wanted to show my gratitude to her for being so kind and patient and helpful. And that I appreciated the time she spent talking me through everything.
So I wrote her a little thank you note on the back of one of my 'you are amazing' postcards and included it in the package.
Day 48: My folks
Being grateful for my parents:
I've taken to doing the lotto at the weekends. I can't help but see it as a big waste of money, but then you've gotta be in it to win it as they say!
And I'm an eternal optimist!!
Anyway, last week I got 3 numbers and was chuffed to bits with my £25 win.
Giddy with my winnings, I thought I'd use some of it to show my parents how grateful I am.
I've been living back in the family home ever since I became ill with ME/CFS.
And two and a half years on, I'm still here.
What a lucky girl I am to be able to have a safe home to live in while I recover, and to have my parents' love and support – it really means the world to me.
I know it's not easy on my folks. And for anyone who's lived at home as an adult will know it's not an ideal situation for any of us. But we are doing the best we can.
And I am really, really grateful.
So today I made a special 'Thank you' card and bought them a beautiful bunch of flowers.
It's not much but I know they'll appreciate the gesture which comes from my ever grateful heart.
So with this in mind, my happy for today is being grateful to my parents for letting me live back at home while I recover from ME/CFS.

Our customer, specializing in door assembly, experienced a quality issue due to missed fasteners. The source of the issue was identified at a single station. The station required manual tightening of ten fasteners where the operator would re-hit the same fastener.Defective products were placed in containment; each containment activity spans a two day timeframe and costs around $10,000, twice a month.
An Atlas Copco solution was implemented to prevent the tool from operating when out of position and ensure the correct number of screws are installed on every job.
Since implementation, the containment activities related to the issue have been eliminated. Additionally, operator ergonomics have greatly improved. Download the case study to learn more!

"Combining unparalleled consumer benefits with the best of LG's technological advancements, the LG G Flex represents the shape of innovation, a harbinger of the future of smartphones and is poised to reinvigorate excitement in the category during 2014," said Morris Lee, senior vice president and head of North American sales and marketing, LG Mobile Communications Company.
Purposefully designed to provide a cinematic viewing experience and ergonomic comfort, the innovative new LG G Flex incorporates many of LG's futuristic technologies while still being a practical option for today's discerning consumers. A six-inch curved Plastic OLED HD display designed by sister company LG Display and a curved battery developed by LG Chem work in tandem to give LG G Flex its world's first ergonomic curved, flexing form factor and the ability to overcome limitations of traditional flat smartphones. The LG G Flex offers an outstanding voice and sound experience because the distinctively curved, flexible design follows the contour of the face.
"We are excited to collaborate on the G Flex with LG, a leading innovator that is shaping mobile innovation with the first curved, flexible smartphone," said Murthy Renduchintala, executive vice president, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and co-president, QCT. "At the heart of the new LG G Flex, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor helps to enable advanced features and capabilities for the best user experiences, in one of today's smartest devices."
Complementing the immersive viewing qualities of the LG G Flex, QuickTheater™ offers quick access to photos, videos and YouTube videos directly from the lock screen with a simple dragging gesture. New is Dual Window, which divides the screen into two separate applications so users can drag and drop information, such as articles and links between windows.
The LG G Flex also incorporates the intuitive rear-key design first launched with the award-winning LG G2, and adds new user experience features. Urgent Call Alert changes the color of the rear-key LED based on the number of calls missed, and a face detection indicator changes the color of the LED when the camera is in focus for more accurate selfies. The LG G Flex also includes LG's exclusive Knock feature so users can quickly activate or turn off the display with two simple taps on the screen.
The LG G Flex was first released last November in South Korea and then Hong Kong and Singapore in December. Pricing and availability for U.S. carriers will be announced at a later date.
Key Features Include:

How to Hang a Wood Gate
A wood gate completes your wood fence and provides access to your yard while still maintaining the security and privacy a wood fence affords. Gate hardware comes in many choices, from decorative hinges to self-securing latches, and those variations can change the placement of the hinges and latch. When hanging your wood gate, you will need to have an assistant handy to help with some of the tasks. Four hands are much better than two are when it comes to installing the gate and its hardware.
Place your wood gate in its opening. Raise the gate to your desired height by placing concrete blocks or pieces of scrap wood beneath it. Leave about ¾-inch to 1-inch clearance between the fence post and the gate on the latch side, and ensure the gate is level. Have your assistant hold the gate.
Position your top hinge against the gate at the top cross brace. Depending on the hinge style, you can install it on the exterior of the fence or on the interior of the gate. Place the hinges where the gate will swing in the direction you desire, either away from the enclosure or into it.
Check to ensure the hinge is level. Mark the mounting holes on the wood gate and on the fence post. Repeat for the bottom hinge, and attach it to the bottom cross brace.
Install a 1/8-inch bit into a power drill. Create pilot holes at each of the marked mounting holes. Replace the drill bit with a screwdriver bit. Position your hinges, and then mount them to the wood gate and fence post, using screws provided with the hinges.
Mark the location of the gate's center cross brace on the latch-side fence post. Insert the latch strike in the latch. Position the two parts of the latch against the post at the cross brace mark and the gate until you are satisfied with the placement. The final position must allow the gate to shut flush with the fence. Mark the mounting hole locations.
Create pilot holes at each of the mounting hole marks. Attach the gate latch to the fence post and the strike to the gate with the screws provided with the latch.
Things Needed
- Concrete blocks
- Scrap wood
- Level
- Gate hinges
- 1/8-inch drill bit
- Power drill
- Screwdriver bit
- Gate latch and strike

looking for Eliza Phillips, nee Thomas of Stokes Croft area of Bristol. England.
Eliza Thomas was born at Wotten under Edge, Gloucestershire, England in about 1836, she was the daughter of William and Hannah Thomas. She married Charles Phillips at Bristol in about 1863.They ran a Greengrocers shop in the Stokes Croft area of Bristol for quite a few years. I think they had 6 children, 4 boys and 2 girls. Eliza died in the 1890's. I think Charles lived into the early part of the 20th century.
Hello Eileen,
Very interesting - I've just moved to Bristol and have een looking into my family here. Charles Phillips was my great-great-Grandfather. I'm pretty sure he's the Charles Phillips who married Eliza. Assuming he was, one of their children, Herbert Thomas (b.~1881) of 14 Picton St, Montpelier, Bristol, married Evelyn May Stenner (b.~1884) of 32 York Road, Montpelier (and came from North Somerset) on 16th April 1906 at St. Andrew's Parish Church, Montpelier (demolished in 1969, now Montpelier Park). Herbert (or H. Phillips, at least) attended the Endowed School, Stoke's Croft which was destroyed by a bomb in 1940. Charles' occupation is listed as 'gentleman' on their marriage certificate. Herbert & Evelyn later moved to Roath in Cardiff and had five children including my Grandfather.
Let me know your email/address and once xmas is over I'll send you copies of some documents and a photo of Herbert and Evelyn if you like.
All the best, Jeff
Hi Jeff, thanks for your enquiry, yes it does sound as though it is the same family, the address 14 Picton Street has come up in my research, so hopefully we might be able to exchange some information, I would be interested to see the photo of Herbert and Evelyn. That's one thing I regret, I don't have any photos of past generations [pre mum and dad], my late brother David did send me an old 'studio' photo of our grandparents on their wedding day and Eliza would have been his aunt.
Anyway I'll look forward to hearing from you after Christmas when I hope, we can compare notes. so I wish you a very Happy Christmas.

3 Amazing Startups Of 2015by QArea Expert on April 29, 2015
Oh, the startup industry. So glorious and promising, yet so heartbreaking at the same time. It's just too hard to keep track on the really important and promising products and projects, but I would love to do that job for you and I do present my little list of personal favorites: the startups you should really keep an eye out for in 2015.
Entire digital health industry is growing like it just took some of those Wonderland cookies Alice used to become bigger. The market demands fresh new blood as users require new solutions designed to keep them healthy and fit. This is especially vital to areas where a smartphone is more affordable than a visit to a doctor like China or India. However, young startups in this field still must prove their efficiency while Spire will definitely get approved by the FDA (or so I believe). What is this Spiral? It's basically a nice physical activity tracker which traces movements, breathing patterns and more to display relevant feedback users are looking for in Healthcare Industry tech solutions. The app will also (supposing) boost your focus, activity and relaxation. Count me in with the guys expecting Spire and their Android app which is currently unavailable).
You no longer have to be a designer to create amazing graphics. This is especially relevant in today's world of various CMS's that allow easy drag-n-drop functionality for web development. Everybody can easily create a decent website or a blog, whilst graphics remained an issue up until Canva. The website allows amazing design functionality that is both easy and intuitive. They had me after my first visit. Give it a try and use as inspiration in developing solutions people need and desire.
This app is a real timesaver. It converts books into mobile friendly 'blinks' that don't take more than fifteen minutes. This app works with professional books and books that are nonfiction to ensure you have just enough time to study something new and important. Well, count me in, as the solution does seem brilliant. It's not the best option a scholar can make but is great for busy people that just wish or need to get brief knowledge of some new industry and just don't have any spare time. They already have more than 500 books displayed and are adding 40 new ones on a monthly basis. Just go ahead and take a look at their free trial. You will probably love it.
Surely only 3 startups cannot fully describe the entire industry, but I do have more where that came from. Please let me know if you want more of such posts through the comment section!

--- "they gave her a ticket that could bring a one thousand dollar fine and 90 days in jail" ---
Seems excessivly harsh .... I mean, you'd thing a simple $800 fine and 60 days in jail would get the point across!
This just in - Debbie Lawson also works for the NYPD! I wonder how she commutes such a distance...
They should have shot her.
Next thing you know she'll be going down the slide or swinging because it looks "fun".
What Sandra needed was a dummy Preston prop
Key quote: "The spokesman told the paper that ticketing a woman in the park in the middle of the day is not the way you want to enforce the rule."
Yeah, the way they want to enforce it is Rodney King-style! Throw her down to the ground, kick at her and hit her with billy clubs, make sure she understands the authority she mocks by 'not knowing the law'! That'll teach her!
I liked the part about the park spokeswoman saying she 'hoped the police would use common sense when enforcing the rule'. Hey man, a rule's a rule. Throw her in jail! There is no sitting here Herr Fuhrer!
From the link 'interview with Catena'
And so the officers, obviiusly well-trained at sensing a dangerous situation when they encounter one, did the only thing sensible. While they were writing this dance instructor a summons, they called for back-up.
Obviiusly, they need a course in common sense (and spelling).
tropichunt guy, that's in L.A., not NY.
I bet there is more to this story.
Like the fact that she was wearing a t-shirt that read "Will Eat Children For Beer".
She could always hire Thomas Mesereau to defend her- he's GREAT at getting pedophiles sprung.
Must have been the end-of-the-month-quota thing.
NYPD, making New York a safer place to live.
idjits. they need to be slapped.
of course, if she was of the male persuasion this wouldn't be news. we'd all feel ok with solitary men being fined for sitting in public parks. maybe this park was equipped with athletic fields and she was oggling the young men....
I agree with Christobol. There is probably more to the story. Like she was naked and singing Christmas carols.... which is illegal when it's out of season....
The carol singing part, I mean... It's OK for women to be naked in parks all the time....
You know, there's a guy in our community who used to hang around an elementary school parking lot when the kids went in and out, to take pictures. He also attends the local swim meets--or at least stands outside the fence, taking pictures of boys in speedos. The principal of that school, and several members of the swim team board, have complained to police over the years. And we've been told, repeatedly, that this guy is not breaking the law...he's just creepy.
Can we arrest THAT dude, instead of the innocent sore-footed arts fans of NYC?
She was probably cooing.
Department of Homeland Insecurity at work my friends. Because a tickets is really going to stop the pervs from doing what they do.
Hey, got to pay for that annual Christmas party some how. $1,000 bucks will cover the stripper for an hour or two...
thank goodness it was her first offence, do you know how they treat 'sitters' in prison?
sly~ *snork*
Heh. Boy oh boy. this reminds me of the time I was sitting on the bench outside the junior high school. I had been drinking pretty heavily and when the bell rang I... uh... Hey! Everyone is looking at me funny again.
From the item: "the rule is designed to keep pedophiles out of city parks"
What?!?! Did they have a home for pedophiles nearby?
And regarding the woman, I suspect that the fact she was building a house made of candy with a large oven under the guise of participating in an "art exhibit" might explain a few things.
Must be a fairly new law ... I don't recall Arlo saying he was fined for sitting on the "Group W" bench ...

- Wash your hands- all day our hands touch thousands of things full of germs and then they touch our faces and bodies which is how infections can so easily start. Wash your hands very regularly throughout the day and especially when dealing with food, animals, wounds, handling garbage or being in the bathroom. As soon as you walk in the door home from being out in the car and at the shops- wash your hands. Wash all over, in between your fingers, under your nails and up to your wrist for at least 30 seconds. Click here to see this handy tip for kids hand washing- make it fun!
- For parents, its practically impossible to regularly get the recommended 7-8 hours sleep a night (and we don't want to hear from you who get that every night thank you haha). But the reason I say try and get sleep, is just to remind you to take every chance possible to get an extra half hour or even 2 hours if your lucky like me. On my husbands days off, I will have a sleep in one morning while he gets up with the kids and has daddy time with them. The kids love it as he has been at work all week and this is their time to have Daddy all to themselves. If your children nap at the same time (until my second child was 6 months old, my kids both napped at the same time, so if I was tired, this allowed me 30mins to an hour of sleep.... when I didn't have housework and other jobs I thought were more important). Parents need to prioritise and having some dishes in the sink or a basket of clothes to be folded isn't as important as our health and sanity. The more sleep we get, the more energy we have to be with our kids and keep fit.
- Drink at least 2 litres of water everyday (1 litre for children). Know how much your drink bottle holds and make sure you fill it the required amount of times throughout the day to hit your mark. Reduce other sugary drinks and caffeine (I'm not saying stop them, just reduce) and swap to water. Add lemon, lime or an orange slice to give some flavour if you find water boring. Or try for 8 glasses a day. Green tea is also a great boost for your insides, or try a cup of peppermint tea.
- Walk, run, exercise.... keep fit, keep moving and you keep those germs away. You will reduce the severity and length of any sickness by being more healthy and fit. Your body will fight off infections easier and you will recover faster.
- Eat healthy and take care of your insides as well. Cut down or cut out sugar, fatty, fried foods and replace your eating habits with fresh healthy meals and snacks. Aim for your 2 pieces of fruit and 3 serves of vegetables a day. If your not a big fruit fan, even a tablespoon of sultanas is one serving of fruit. Or mix a banana and some berries in a blender with ice or skim milk and yum- healthy meal- fruit intake for the day- done! Cut up some carrot and celery sticks to munch on through the day when your feeling a little peckish.
- Take a multi-vitamin. You will hear both sides with this one as some people will say if you eat in moderation and a healthy diet you don't need one. BUT no one I know eats the exact recommended food groups 365 days a year, let alone 7 days a week. It's unlikely you will eat your 2 fruits, 3 veges, protein, carbohydrate, calcium, omega 3, iron and fat requirements to a perfect quantity required each day- so taking a simple once a day multi, ensures you get the extra things you have missed. Its easy to take and can really make a difference to your health, especially if your particularly lacking and low in one area of health.
- Get outside into the sun and fresh air everyday. Whether you go for a stroll (I love that word haha) around the block, or spend some time playing with your kids in the yard, try each day to be outdoors for at least an hour. Can you walk the kids to school? Anything is better than nothing. But don't forget to slip slop slap when needed.
- K.A.T.E. is full of endless resources for parents (yes for dads too) & caregivers, FUN and EDUCATIONAL ideas for children aged birth to 5 years old & helpful information to help make life that little bit easier....
Keep HEALTHY BEFORE WINTER arrives
Winter can be fun when we rug up in our pj's and blankets by the fire and all snuggle together watching DVDs and keep warm.... but winter also brings an increase of lots of sickness and germs. Below are my 7 tips on things you can do that will help prevent your family picking up those nasty colds and flu's.

On Tuesday in Hope, Arkansas former Governor of the "Natural State" Mike Huckabee announced his 2016 bid for the White House. He joins a field of 5 other GOP candidates looking to win back the Presidency for the GOP. He chose to make his speech from his home town in an effort to remind voters of his roots in Hope, something he didn't really do his last time around in 2008.
Trending: MSNBC Knowingly Lies about Russian Interference in the Election
Below is a partial transcript – you can read the full transcript of his speech at RCP.
"I'm running for President because I know that there is a difference between making a speech and making government accountable to the people who pay for it. You can't spend money you don't have or borrow money you can't afford to pay back. The federal government ought to live by the rules YOU have to live by and they should function under a balanced budget law like I had to every year I was a Governor. And I don't want to hear politicians talk about tinkering with the tax code and making little adjustments that still let powerful Washington interests pick the winners and losers. We can never create prosperity for working people, grow our economy out of the bottomless pit of debt, and move America back to the greatest economy on earth if we punish productivity and subsidize reckless irresponsibility. The man I met at a machine shop in New Hampshire told me of how he started working a double shift to help his daughter pay for grad school. He naturally figured that if he worked 16 hours a day instead of 8, he'd bring home twice the pay. But he found out that the money he worked for on that second shift put him in a new tax bracket and the government got more of it than he did. It's not that our tax system is punishing the richest people in America-they can afford accountants and lawyers who will find a way to protect them. It's the people working for wages who can't get ahead if the government penalizes them for trying to do better. As President, I'll work to pass the Fair Tax, which would no longer penalize people's work, their savings, their investments, or their good stewardship. And it would be the end of big government bailouts and most importantly, we finally rid ourselves of the biggest bully in America, the IRS. The IRS would disappear and April 15 would be just another beautiful spring day.
"The struggle for many families isn't helped when the government solution is fighting over what the MINIMUM wage should be. It's a race to the bottom to figure out what the government determines the least you can make. We need to be promoting the MAXIMUM wage, which is set by the worker who is willing to avail himself or herself of training for a job that pays a maximum amount. We will never break the cycle of poverty by pushing people to their minimum wage, but by empowering them to reach their maximum wage. That is how we take people from Hope to Higher Ground!
"This country has to do three things to stay free: Feed itself, Fuel itself, and Fight for itself. Our farmers and ranchers provide our food and fiber and we need to keep them from being regulated out of business; we have enough energy resources under our feet to bring affordable energy to America and become the largest exporter so that Americans prosper in developing the energy and aren't impoverished by paying for it when produced by a Saudi Sheik or a Russian robber-baron. And we need to be able to fight for ourselves by bringing manufacturing back to our communities where we make our own planes, tanks, bullets and bombs.
"The journey that begins in Hope today can lead this nation to Higher Ground, but I can't do it without people being my partners–many who have never been involved in politics before now. I never have been and won't be the favorite candidate of those in the "Washington to Wall Street" corridor of power. I will be funded and fueled not by the billionaires, but by working people across America who will find out that $15 and $25 a month contributions can take us from Hope to Higher Ground. If you want to give a million dollars, please do it, but most can't. But I will ask you to give something-in the name of your children and grandchildren.
I've walked away from my own income to do this, so I'm not asking you for a sacrifice I'm not willing to make. I don't have a global foundation or a taxpayer funded paycheck to live off of. I don't come from a family Dynasty, but a working family. I grew up blue collar and not blue blood. I ask you to join with me today not just so I can be President, but so we can preserve this great Republic and that someday YOUR children and grandchildren can still go from Hope to Higher Ground.
"I still remember when my Dad took me to the dedication of the newly constructed Bois D' Arc Lake, just a few miles from here, now named for Dr. Lester Sitzes, my best friend since 3rd grade. I was eight years-old and he said, "Son, the Governor is coming to dedicate the new lake and I'm going to take you there to hear him make a talk, because you might live your whole life and never get to meet a Governor in person." Had my Dad lived four months longer, he would have seen me do more than MEET a Governor. He would have seen me become the 44th Governor of my state. I always wished he could have been there and maybe spend the night in the Governor's Mansion, a place he never thought he'd get close to. I always wanted to feel that he did see that moment-from the best seat in the house! And I hope he's able to watch in January of 2017, when that bashful little kid from the orange brick rent house on 2nd Street is sworn in as the 45th President of the United States. And with your help and God's, we will make that journey from Hope to Higher Ground."

Sam Allardyce has demanded greater protection for Wilfried Zaha after accusing the Crystal Palace winger's opponents of targeting him.
The manager is concerned that Zaha - perhaps Palace's finest player this season - is being distracted by the challenges made on him.
Allardyce says he was warned that was the case by the club's chairman Steve Parish upon his appointment to succeed Alan Pardew in December, but has only discovered the extent of it during the five months since.
He believes the 24-year-old is capable of displaying even greater ability, but will continue to be undermined until he is given the protection he requires.
Zaha, incidentally, was the most-fouled player on the pitch during Saturday's 5-0 defeat at Manchester City, where he was targeted four times.
"Often those fouls are ignored and they frustrate Wilfried and then he loses control sometimes, which is a part of our job to make sure he gets more determined," said Allardyce.
"One, to prove the referee wrong, and two, to weaken the opposition's defence by continuing to play as well as he's playing.
"When they're fouling him as constantly as they are it's because he's playing well. And when he plays well he attracts attention, and when he attracts that attention, even with two men marking him, they can't stop him. And the only way they can stop him is fouling him.
"I was told by the chairman it was happening before I got here and obviously you take it or leave it in terms of, 'I'll find out for myself'. But I've found it to be the same, and because he's such an outstandingly damaging player for the opposition he gets fouled more.
"He actually gets fouled more than the rest of the team put together most of the time."
Allardyce's comments echo concerns earlier in the campaign about the physicality with which Manchester United played in their attempts to contain Chelsea's Eden Hazard in March's FA Cup defeat at Stamford Bridge.
Zaha's attitude has also been questioned in the past after he struggled during his short spell at United and while on loan at Cardiff before his return to Palace in 2014.
While those concerns no longer exist, Allardyce stressed it is his responsibility to remain focused and said: "We're supposed to be improving the game for our more skilful players, where we've rightly outlawed tackling from behind and so on, but persistent fouling seems to be something you can get away with.
"You can tug somebody and get booked straight away, but you persistently foul somebody and the referee continues to let that go. For me, Wilfried needs more protection, so he can show his abilities more.
"I always say to a player who gets a yellow card, 'Be careful. Be very, very careful now. You can't afford another one of those tackles or you're off'. But if that doesn't happen then the player carries on fouling our player.
"It's up to the referee to make that decision but I constantly see - and I share - Wilf's frustration. But I would like Wilf to control himself more and not lose control of his game, and keep going at them and keep trying to do the right thing."

Miyazaki's The Wind Rises Wins Awards From 2 Critic Boards
posted on by Egan Loo
The New York Film Critics Circle announced on Tuesday that The Wind Rises, the 11th and final feature film from Studio Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki, has won its Best Animated Film Award for 2013. The following day, The National Board of Review also named the film its Best Animated Feature of 2013. The New York Film Critics Circle gave Miyazaki's Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle the Best Animated Film Awards in 2002 and 2005.
The Wind Rises centers on Jirō Horikoshi (played by Evangelion director Hideaki Anno), the designer of Japan's famed Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighter plane of World War II. Disney will release the film in North America, and Studio Ghibli International produced the English-language dub with producer Frank Marshall (From Up on Poppy Hill, The Secret World of Arrietty, Ponyo). The film played in New York and Los Angeles last month, and it will open across the United States in February.
The film was submitted for the Animated Feature Film category for the 86th Academy Awards, and has made the shortlist for the Best Foreign Language Film category of the 71st Golden Globe Awards.

433 U.S. 186 (1977), 75-1812, Shaffer v. Heitner
|Docket Nº:
|No. 75-1812
|433 U.S. 186, 97 S.Ct. 2569, 53 L.Ed.2d 683
|Party Name:
|Shaffer v. Heitner
|Case Date:
|June 24, 1977
|United States Supreme Court
Page 186
Argued February 22, 1977
Appellee, a nonresident of Delaware, filed a shareholder's derivative suit in a Delaware Chancery Court, naming as defendants a corporation and its subsidiary, as well as 28 present or former corporate officers or directors, alleging that the individual defendants had violated their duties to the corporation by causing it and its subsidiary to engage in actions (which occurred in Oregon) that resulted in corporate liability for substantial damages in a private antitrust suit and a large fine in a criminal contempt action. Simultaneously, appellee, pursuant to Del.Code Ann., Tit. 10, § 366 (1975), filed a motion for sequestration of the Delaware property of the individual defendants, all nonresidents of Delaware, accompanied by an affidavit identifying the property to be sequestered as stock, options, warrants, and various corporate rights of the defendants. A sequestration order was issued pursuant to which shares and options belonging to 21 defendants (appellants) were "seized" and "stop transfer" orders were placed on the corporate books. Appellants entered a special appearance to quash service of process and to vacate the sequestration order, contending that the ex parte sequestration procedure did not accord them due process; that the property seized was not capable of attachment in Delaware; and that they did not have sufficient contacts with Delaware to sustain jurisdiction of that State's courts under the rule of International Shoe Co. v. Washington, 326 U.S. 310. In that case, the Court (after noting that the historical basis of in personam jurisdiction was a court's power over the defendant's person, making his presence within the court's territorial jurisdiction a prerequisite to its rendition of a personally binding judgment against him, Pennoyer v. Neff, 95 U.S. 714) held that that power was no longer the central concern, and that
due process requires only that, in order to subject a defendant to a judgment in personam, if he be not present within the territory of the forum, he have certain minimum contacts with it such that the maintenance of the suit does not offend "traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice"
(and thus the focus shifted to the relationship among the defendant, the forum, and the litigation, rather than the mutually exclusive sovereignty of the States on which the rules of Pennoyer had rested). The Court of Chancery, rejecting appellants' arguments, upheld the § 366 procedure of compelling the
Page 187
personal appearance of a nonresident defendant to answer and defend a suit brought against him in a court of equity, which is accomplished by the appointment of a sequestrator to seize and hold the property of the nonresident located in Delaware subject to court order, with release of the property being made upon the defendant's entry of a general appearance. The court held that the limitation on the purpose and length of time for which sequestered property is held comported with due process, and that the statutory situs of the stock (under a provision making Delaware the situs of ownership of the capital stock of all corporations existing under the laws of that State) provided a sufficient basis for the exercise of quasi in rem jurisdiction by a Delaware court. The Delaware Supreme Court affirmed, concluding that International Shoe raised no constitutional barrier to the sequestration procedure because
jurisdiction under § 366 remains . . . quasi in rem founded on the presence of capital stock [in Delaware], not on prior contact by defendants with this forum.
1. Whether or not a State can assert jurisdiction over a nonresident must be evaluated according to the minimum contacts standard of International Shoe Co. v. Washington, supra. Pp. 207-212.
(a) In order to justify an exercise of jurisdiction in rem, the basis for jurisdiction must be sufficient to justify exercising "jurisdiction over the interests of persons in the thing." The presence of property in a State may bear upon the existence of jurisdiction by providing contacts among the forum State, the defendant, and the litigation, as for example, when claims to the property itself are the source of the underlying controversy between the plaintiff and defendant, where it would be unusual for the State where the property is located not to have jurisdiction. Pp. 207-208.
(b) But where, as in the instant quasi in rem action, the property now serving as the basis for state court jurisdiction is completely unrelated to the plaintiff's cause of action, the presence of the property alone, i.e., absent other ties among the defendant, the State, and the litigation, would not support the State's jurisdiction. Pp. 208-209.
(c) Though the primary rationale for treating the presence of property alone as a basis for jurisdiction is to prevent a wrongdoer from avoiding payment of his obligations by removal of his assets to a place where he is not subject to an in personam suit, that is an insufficient justification for recognizing jurisdiction without regard to whether the property is in the State for that purpose. Moreover, the availability of attachment procedures and the protection of the Full Faith and Credit Clause also militate against that rationale. Pp. 209-210.
Page 188
(d) The fairness standard of International Shoe can be easily applied in the vast majority of cases. P. 211.
(e) Though jurisdiction based solely on the presence of property in a State has had a long history, "traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice" can be as readily offended by the perpetuation of ancient forms that are no longer justified as by the adoption of new procedures that do not comport with the basic values of our constitutional heritage. Cf. Sniadach v. Family Finance Corp, 395 U.S. 337, 340; Wolf v. Colorado, 338 U.S. 25, 27. Pp. 211-212.
2. Delaware's assertion of jurisdiction over appellants, based solely as it is on the statutory presence of appellants' property in Delaware, violates the Due Process Clause, which
does not contemplate that a state may make binding a judgment . . . against an individual or corporate defendant with which the state has no contacts, ties, or relations.
International Shoe, supra at 319. Pp. 213-217.
(a) Appellants' holdings in the corporation, which are not the subject matter of this litigation and are unrelated to the underlying cause of action, do not provide contacts with Delaware sufficient to support jurisdiction of that State's courts over appellants. P. 213.
(b) Nor is Delaware state court jurisdiction supported by that State's interest in supervising the management of a Delaware corporation and defining the obligations of its officers and directors, since Delaware bases jurisdiction not on appellants' status as corporate fiduciaries, but on the presence of their property in the State. Moreover, sequestration has been available in any suit against a nonresident, whether against corporate fiduciaries or not. Pp. 213-215.
(c) Though it may be appropriate for Delaware law to govern the obligations of appellants to the corporation and stockholders, this does not mean that appellants have "purposefully avail[ed themselves] of the privilege of conducting activities within the forum State," Hanson v. Denckla, 357 U.S. 235, 253. Appellants, who were not required to acquire interests in the corporation in order to hold their positions, did not, by acquiring those interests, surrender their right to be brought to judgment in the States in which they had "minimum contacts." Pp. 215-216.
361 A.2d 225, reversed.
MARSHALL, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which BURGER, C.J., and STEWART, WHITE, BLACKMUN, and POWELL, JJ., joined, and in Parts I-III of which BRENNAN, J., joined. POWELL, J., filed a concurring opinion, post, p. 217. STEVENS, J., filed an opinion concurring in the
Page 189
judgment, post, p. 217. BRENNAN, J., filed an opinion concurring in part and dissenting in part, post, p. 219. REHNQUIST, J., took no part in the consideration or decision of the case.
MARSHALL, J., lead opinion
[97 S.Ct. 2572] MR. JUSTICE MARSHALL delivered the opinion of the Court.
The controversy in this case concerns the constitutionality of a Delaware statute that allows a court of that State to take jurisdiction of a lawsuit by sequestering any property of the defendant that happens to be located in Delaware. Appellants contend that the sequestration statute as applied in this case violates the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment both because it permits the state courts to exercise jurisdiction despite the absence of sufficient contacts among the defendants, the litigation, and the State of Delaware and because it authorizes the deprivation of defendants' property without providing adequate procedural safeguards. We find it necessary to consider only the first of these contentions.
Appellee Heitner, a nonresident of Delaware, is the owner of one share of stock in the Greyhound Corp., a business incorporated under the laws of Delaware with its principal place of business in Phoenix, Ariz. On May 22, 1974, he filed a shareholder's derivative suit in the Court of Chancery for New Castle County, Del., in which he named as defendants Greyhound, its wholly owned subsidiary Greyhound Lines, Inc.,1 and 28 present or former officers or directors of one or
Page 190
both of the corporations. In essence, Heitner alleged that the individual defendants had violated their duties to Greyhound by causing it and its subsidiary to engage in actions that resulted in the corporation's being held liable for substantial damages in a private antitrust suit2 and a large fine in a criminal contempt action.3 The...
