# California Assembly Bill 1215 (2011)

On September 26, 2011, California Governor Jerry Brown signed California Law AB 1215 into law. Authored by Bob Blumenfield (D-Woodland Hills), the legislation accomplished three goals: (1) increasing the fees that California car and truck dealers can charge for licensing, (2) requiring dealers to use Electronic Titling and (3) governing how automobile dealers disclose previously damaged used cars. The law went into effect on July 1, 2012.
Proponents of AB 1215 included the California New Car Dealer Association, the Independent Auto Dealers Association of California, Consumers for Auto Reliability & Safety and California Associates of Highway Patrol. California is often a leader in consumer protection legislation and consumer advocates hoped for the law to lead to a similar federal program. The bill passed the California State Assembly 67-4 and the California State Senate 30-4 before being signed by Governor Jerry Brown.
After AB 1215 went into effect, car and truck dealers in California could charge up to $80 per new or used purchase/leased vehicle transaction, up from $55 for vehicle purchase transactions and $45 for lease transactions. The fees cover titling, registration and other dealership documentation requirements. Lawmakers estimated the legislation to save taxpayers as much as $9 million per year by using electronic titling systems.
AB 1215 also included a mandate for dealers to participate in the California Department of Motor Vehicle's Business Partner Automation Program, to enable fast and easy title and registration processes, saving the state time and labor costs and dealers/consumers needless time and paper forms at the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Because of CA AB 1215, starting on July 1, 2012, California new and used car and truck dealers started to check a National Motor Vehicle Title Information System report before selling any used vehicle. The vehicle history check information contains the most up-to-date Department of Motor Vehicle title information from participating states, along with the industry’s most complete salvage auction, junkyard and insurance company sourced total loss information. Only providers cleared by the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System can participate.
Vehicle check reports showing a previous salvage or other state title brand or reported event such as insurance total loss must be disclosed to consumers. Each vehicle with salvage title brands or other problem is required to have a red 4” x 5” sticker with language warning potential buyers that the vehicle has this kind of salvage history. The dealer must also provide a copy of the car history report to the buyer. California dealers, along with national and state consumer protection groups, supported the AB 1215 bill.

# Battle of Flirey

The Battle of Flirey (French: 1re Bataille de Flirey) took place in the First World War and was fought from 19 September to 11 October 1914. The German Army defeated the French. The battle cut most of the roads and railways to the Fortified Region of Verdun (Région Fortifiée de Verdun [RFV]) and had a considerable effect on the rest of the war on the Western Front.

## Background

The Woëvre Plain stretches from the city of Luxemburg, south to the French city of Toul and has been a common route of attack between Germany and France. The plain is flanked on the western side by a series of mountain ranges (the Hauts de Meuse) along the Meuse River and along the eastern side by a series of mountain ranges along the Moselle River. A series of German fortifications was built before the war along the Moselle (especially around the city of Metz), and across the border, a matching set of French fortifications was established along the Meuse around Verdun and Toul.
In the first months of the war, Oberste Heeresleitung (OHL, German High Command) first realised the increased effectiveness that artillery and machine guns gave to the defence and seized various terrain features that would be easy to defend. Recognising that it is easier to defend the heights along the Meuse than the plain between the Moselle and Meuse, a German attack was planned to seize the heights, deny access to the Woëvre Plain to the Allies, isolate Verdun and reduce the ability of the French to attack German territory.

## Battle

The attack commenced on 19 September, with German cavalry from Metz skirmishing with the French defenders in the Dieulouard–Martincourt area. Flirey, the woods around the village and the village of Seicheprey were quickly captured. French reinforcements arrived on 22 September but could not stop the Germans from advancing. The German advance then changed direction by moving from southerly to south-westerly. By 24 September, the town of Saint-Mihiel was captured and villages of Flirey, Seicheprey and Xivray recaptured. More French reinforcements arrived on 27 September but as the Germans were now firmly entrenched, French counter-attacks between Flirey and Apremont resulted in little change in the front line and continued until 11 October.

## Aftermath

The battle created the Saint-Mihiel salient projecting into the French lines south of Verdun. Of the two roads and one railway that led to Verdun, only a minor road remained open, which imposed severe supply difficulties on the French troops in the RFV. The city was enveloped on three sides and neutralised as a base for French offensive operations. The area would see much fighting over the rest of the war. Despite attempts by the French to reduce the salient in the First Battle of Woëvre in early 1915, the First Offensive Battle of Verdun in late 1916 and the Second Offensive Battle of Verdun in 1917, the salient was not reduced until the Battle of Saint-Mihiel in September 1918.
# Anton Ulrik Berndes

Anton Ulrik Berndes (15 June 1757 – 11 April 1844) was a Swedish artist and land surveyor. He specialised in producing portrait miniatures, but was also active as a graphic artist using other techniques, and is credited with introducing the mezzotint to Sweden.

## Family and background

Anton Ulrik Berndes was born in the parish of Alunda in Uppland. His father was foreman at a mine. His brother Pehr Bernhard Berndes [sv] was a naval officer and chemist. Anton Ulrik Berndes married Anna Elisabet Unfraun in 1766; after her death in 1807 he married Katarina Charlotta Thraene in 1811. His son was also an artist. The Berndes family had emigrated to Sweden from Switzerland in the early 18th century.
Anton Ulrik Berndes was educated as a land surveyor, and was employed by Lantmäteriet, the Swedish Mapping, Cadastral and Land Registration Authority, from 1775. He had a successful career; the last position he held before his retirement was First Land Surveyor in Stockholm County. He died in Stockholm.

## Art

Berndes was taught drawing by his father, and was probably also taught by Gustaf Lundberg and the Danish artist Cornelius Høyer. In 1794 he spent one year in Britain, where he learned printmaking by mezzotint, a technique which he introduced to Sweden. He was widely employed as a painter of portrait miniatures. In this capacity he played an important role in Swedish artistic life at the end of the 18th century and beginning of the 19th. He produced around 600 portrait miniatures during his life. His services were widely sought after; Berndes received commissions from members of the lower bourgeoisie as well as from the royal court.
Stylistically, during a first period from the mid-1780s to 1794, he worked largely in the style of Peter Adolf Hall, employing "a certain rosy freshness". Following the return to Sweden of Niclas Lafrensen in 1791 and the appearance of Lorentz Svensson Sparrgren [sv], Berndes was to some extent outcompeted and had to change his style. Following his return from Britain, Berndes adapted stylistically to new ideals, using less vivid colours and in general producing somewhat stricter portraits in the Empire style.
He became a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts in 1803.

# 1914 Western Australian state election

Elections were held in the state of Western Australia on 21 October 1914 to elect 50 members to the Western Australian Legislative Assembly. The Labor party, led by Premier John Scaddan, retained government against the opposition conservative Liberal Party led by Opposition Leader Frank Wilson, though with only the barest of majorities. The election also saw the emergence of the Western Australian Country Party, which had been formed at a conference of the Farmers and Settlers Association the previous year to fight for rural interests, and won eight seats at the election.
The fragility of the Labor Party's majority was demonstrated when, a year later, Labor member Joseph Gardiner's seat was declared vacant on account of his non-attendance and a Liberal was elected in his stead, and Labor became a minority government when on 18 December 1915, Bertie Johnston resigned from the Labor Party and became an independent. On 27 July 1916, the Scaddan Ministry was defeated and Wilson became the new Premier.

# Mark Douglas Havey

Mark Douglas Havey from Old Dominion University, was awarded the status of Fellow in the American Physical Society, after he was nominated by his Division of Atomic, Molecular & Optical Physics in 1998, for development and explication of novel one- and two-photon spectroscopies of bound and dissociative electronic states of diatomic molecules; also for development of precision atomic two-photon polarization spectroscopy for determination of atomic matrix elements and novel sum rule.
# Käymäjärvi inscriptions

The Käymäjärvi inscriptions are two inscription-like mark rows on a stone approximately 52.5 cm high and 105 cm wide, engraved with characters similar to those in runic alphabets. The Käymäjärvi inscriptions are near Lake Käymäjärvi, about 26 km northwest of Pajala in northern Sweden. The inscriptions were first reported in 1689 and were thought to be man made. According to a 2018 report by archaeologists, geologists and historians; however, the inscriptions were found not to be man made but instead results of natural processes.

## First report

The Käymäjärvi Inscriptions were first reported by Olof Rudbeck Sr. (1630–1702) in the second volume of Atlantica (1689). The local inhabitants, especially the Saami, considered the stone to carry a very important message from their ancestors.

## Second report

The second author to report the inscriptions was Eric Brunnius (1706–83) of Uppsala University in a discussion about the town of Tornio (De urbe Torna; 1731). Brunnius states that the stone has rune characters and the engraving of a triple crown which was degraded and is absent. The physicist Anders Celsius (1701–44), also an early runologist, concluded that the inscriptions were not of runic character.

## Third report

Celsius and Pierre Louis Maupertuis (1698–1759) visited the stone around 11 April 1737, during their Earth meridian measurement expedition. Celsius and Maupertuis both sketched the inscriptions in their diaries of the journey. The tale of this travel and stone, at that time considered to be very exotic in nature, was presented in his application to the Académie des Sciences and may have influenced the decision to elect him to the Academy.

## 2018 report

According to a study made by archaeologists, geologists and historians published in the Cambridge Archaeological Journal in 2018, the inscriptions are not man-made but instead a result of natural processes.
