George Amy
George Joseph Amy( October 15, 1903 – December 18, 1986) was an American film editor.
He started his career aged 17, finding his niche at Warner Brothers in the 1930s.
It was Amy's editing that was one of the main reasons Warners' films got their reputation for their fluid style and breakneck pace.
He was a favorite of such top Warners directors as Michael Curtiz and Howard Hawks, and won an Academy Award for Best Film Editing for Hawks'" Air Force"( 1943).
He received Oscar nominations for Curtiz's" Yankee Doodle Dandy" in 1942 and Raoul Walsh's fanciful war film" Objective, Burma!" in 1945.
Although Amy directed several shorts and a few features( including" She Had to Say Yes") on his own for Warners, they did n't meet with much success.
In the 1950s he turned to editing and directing for television.

High Seas
High Seas may refer to:
International waters
The terms international waters or trans- boundary waters apply where any of the following types of bodies of water( or their drainage basins) transcend international boundaries: oceans, large marine ecosystems, enclosed or semi-enclosed regional seas and estuaries, rivers, lakes, groundwater systems( aquifers), and wetlands.
International waters( high seas) do not belong to any State's jurisdiction, known under the doctrine of' Mare liberum'.
States have the right to fishing, navigation, overflight, laying cables and pipelines, as well as scientific research.
Oceans, seas, and waters outside national jurisdiction are also referred to as the high seas or, in Latin," mare liberum"( meaning" free sea").
The Convention on the High Seas, signed in 1958, which has 63 signatories, defined" high seas" to mean" all parts of the sea that are not included in the territorial sea or in the internal waters of a State" and where" no State may validly purport to subject any part of them to its sovereignty."
The Convention on the High Seas was used as a foundation for the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea( UNCLOS), signed in 1982, which recognized Exclusive Economic Zones extending from the baseline, where coastal States have sovereign rights to the water column and sea floor as well as the natural resources found there.
The high seas make up 50% of the surface area of the planet and cover over two- thirds of the ocean.
Ships sailing the high seas are generally under the jurisdiction of the flag state( if there is one); however, when a ship is involved in certain criminal acts, such as piracy, any nation can exercise jurisdiction under the doctrine of universal jurisdiction.
International waters can be contrasted with internal waters, territorial waters and exclusive economic zones.
UNCLOS also contains, in its part XII, special provisions for the protection of the marine environment, which, in certain cases, allow port States to exercise extraterritorial jurisdiction over foreign ships on the high seas if they violate international environmental rules( adopted by the IMO), such as the MARPOL Convention.
United States v. Shi
United States v. Shi, 525 F.3d 709( 9th Cir. 2008) is a case involving piracy on the high seas.
The case held that United States could try foreign nationals on foreign- flagged vessels for crimes committed on the high seas, outside the territory of the United States.
