In political philosophy , limited government is where the government is empowered by law from a starting point of having no power , or where governmental power is restricted by law , usually in a written constitution . It is a key concept in the history of liberalism . The United States Constitution presents an example of the federal government not possessing any power except what is delegated to it by the Constitution - with the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution specifically stating that powers not specifically delegated to the federal government is reserved for the people and the states . The Magna Carta and the United States Constitution also represents important milestones in the limiting of governmental power . The earliest use of the term limited government dates back to King James VI and I in the late 16th century . Limited government put into practice often involves the protection of individual liberty from government intrusion .

A covalent bond , also called a molecular bond , is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms . These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs , and the stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms , when they share electrons , is known as covalent bonding . For many molecules , the sharing of electrons allows each atom to attain the equivalent of a full outer shell , corresponding to a stable electronic configuration .


The song has been played at Fenway Park , home of Major League Baseball 's Boston Red Sox , since at least 1997 , and in the middle of the eighth inning at every game since 2002 . On opening night of the 2010 season at Fenway Park , the song was performed by Diamond himself . `` Sweet Caroline '' was played at Penn State Nittany Lions football games at Beaver Stadium until August 2012 , halting after the Penn State child sex abuse scandal . Performances at Beaver Stadium resumed in September 2013 , however . The song is played at the start of the fourth quarter of Pittsburgh Panthers Football games at Heinz Field . In response , West Virginia University students and fans will yell `` eat shit , Pitt '' during the refrain if heard played . It is also an unofficial song of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill , being played at athletic events and pep rallies .


Arachidonic acid is a polyunsaturated fatty acid present in the phospholipids ( especially phosphatidylethanolamine , phosphatidylcholine , and phosphatidylinositides ) of membranes of the body 's cells , and is abundant in the brain , muscles , and liver . Skeletal muscle is an especially active site of arachidonic acid retention , accounting for roughly 10 - 20 % of the phospholipid fatty acid content on average .


Huxley said that Brave New World was inspired by the utopian novels of H.G. Wells , including A Modern Utopia ( 1905 ) and Men Like Gods ( 1923 ) . Wells 's hopeful vision of the future 's possibilities gave Huxley the idea to begin writing a parody of the novel , which became Brave New World . He wrote in a letter to Mrs. Arthur Goldsmith , an American acquaintance , that he had `` been having a little fun pulling the leg of H.G. Wells , '' but then he `` got caught up in the excitement of ( his ) own ideas . '' Unlike the most popular optimist utopian novels of the time , Huxley sought to provide a frightening vision of the future . Huxley referred to Brave New World as a `` negative utopia '' , somewhat influenced by Wells 's own The Sleeper Awakes ( dealing with subjects like corporate tyranny and behavioural conditioning ) and the works of D.H. Lawrence .


In U.S. politics , general elections are elections held at any level ( e.g. city , county , congressional district , state ) that involve competition between at least two parties . General elections occur every two to six years ( depending on the positions being filled with most positions good for four years ) and include the presidential election , but unlike parliamentary systems the term can also refer to special elections that fill out positions prematurely vacated by the previous office holder ( e.g. through death , resignation , etc . ) . Some parallels can be drawn between the general election in parliamentary systems and the biennial elections determining all House seats , although there is no analogue to `` calling early elections '' in the U.S. , and the members of the elected U.S. Senate face elections of only one - third at a time at two - year intervals including during a general election .

A sinus rhythm is any cardiac rhythm where depolarization of the cardiac muscle begins at the sinus node . It is characterised by the presence of correctly oriented P waves on the electrocardiogram ( ECG ) . Sinus rhythm is necessary , but not sufficient , for normal electrical activity within the heart .


In `` 200 '' , it was revealed that JJ 's transfer was a backstop and that she was actually put on a task force in the Middle East with Mateo Cruz ( who later became the section chief of the BAU following Strauss 's death ) . During this time , she witnessed a mission she had pushed for fail and discovered one of the task force 's informants dead . In February 2011 , while overseas , she discovered that she was pregnant . However , in April 2011 , following the events of `` Lauren '' , during an attack on the task force , she was wounded and miscarried the baby . She did n't initially tell Will of the pregnancy , and it remained a secret between her and Cruz . In `` The Forever People '' , when she starts showing signs of PTSD , Reid calls her on it , and he tries to help her and talk to her . She eventually admits she had a miscarriage due to the attack on her convoy , and asks him to keep it between them .


The letter was written to the church at Philippi , one of the earliest churches to be founded in Europe . They were very attached to Paul , just as he was very fond of them . Of all the churches , their contributions ( which Paul gratefully acknowledges ) are among the only ones he accepts . ( Acts 20 : 33 -- 35 ; 2 Cor. 11 : 7 -- 12 ; 2 Thess. 3 : 8 ) . The generosity of the Philippians comes out very conspicuously ( Phil . 4 : 15 ) . `` This was a characteristic of the Macedonian missions , as 2 Cor. 8 and 9 amply and beautifully prove . It is remarkable that the Macedonian converts were , as a class , very poor ( 2 Cor. 8 : 2 ) , though the very first converts were of all classes ( Acts 16 ) ; and the parallel facts , their poverty and their open - handed support of the great missionary and his work , are deeply harmonious . '' ( Moule ) .


In `` The Crossing '' , JJ told Will that she was pregnant with his child . He later asked her to marry him , and indicated that he was willing to give up his detective 's shield in order to help take care of the baby and allow JJ to continue to do her job , though he was worried about her safety and the safety of their child . JJ later told Hotch she had found a temporary replacement for the duration of her maternity leave , and soon after gave birth to a baby boy named Henry . Will transfers to the MPDC , and the family live together in Washington . In later seasons , toddler Henry is portrayed by actress A.J. Cook 's real - life son Mekhai Andersen . JJ and Will named Reid and Technical Analyst Penelope Garcia as Henry 's godparents . When JJ returned from maternity leave , she and Will had exchanged rings with Henry 's birthstone , but did not seem to be officially engaged , as she wore her ring on her right hand , not the left . In the season seven finale , JJ tearfully asked Will to propose to her again , and they married the following evening in a small ceremony in David Rossi 's backyard .


Habib ( Arabic : حبيب  , translit . ḥabīb ; Arabic pronunciation : ( ħabiːb ) ) , sometimes written as Habeeb , is an Arabic masculine given name and occasional surname with the meaning `` beloved '' . The name is popular throughout the Muslim World , though particularly in the Middle East and Africa . In other countries , especially in Yemen and Southeast Asian countries such as Brunei , Singapore , Indonesia and Malaysia , it is an honorific to address a Muslim scholar of Sayyid ( a descendant of Muhammad ) families . It is important to note that the name , as is the case with other Arabic names , is not confined to Muslims . Notable examples of Christian individuals named Habib include ' Habib the Deacon ' and Gabriel Habib and the Philosopher Habib .

The 90th Academy Awards ceremony , presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences ( AMPAS ) , honored the best films of 2017 and took place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood , Los Angeles , California . The ceremony was held on March 4 , 2018 rather than its usual late - February date to avoid conflicting with the 2018 Winter Olympics . During the ceremony , AMPAS presented Academy Awards ( commonly referred to as Oscars ) in 24 categories . The ceremony was televised in the United States by American Broadcasting Company ( ABC ) , produced by Michael De Luca and Jennifer Todd and directed by Glenn Weiss . Comedian Jimmy Kimmel hosted for the second consecutive year , making him the first person to host back - to - back ceremonies since Billy Crystal in 1997 and 1998 .


The phrase `` Bye , Felicia '' ( actually spelled `` Felisha '' in the cast listing ) came from a scene in the American stoner buddy crime comedy film Friday ( 1995 ) . According to Ice Cube , who starred in the film and co-wrote its script , `` Bye , Felicia '' is `` the phrase ' to get anyone out of your face ' , '' and , as it was used in the Friday scene , is generally intended as a dismissive kiss - off .


Since 1718 , transportation to the American colonies had been a penalty for various offences in Britain , with approximately one thousand convicts transported per year across the Atlantic . Forced to find an alternative location after the loss of the Thirteen Colonies in 1783 , the British government turned to the newly discovered lands of Australia . The western coast of Australia had been discovered for Europeans by the Dutch explorer Willem Janszoon in 1606 and was later named New Holland by the Dutch East India Company , but there was no attempt to colonise it . In 1770 James Cook discovered the eastern coast of Australia while on a scientific voyage to the South Pacific Ocean , claimed the continent for Britain , and named it New South Wales . In 1778 , Joseph Banks , Cook 's botanist on the voyage , presented evidence to the government on the suitability of Botany Bay for the establishment of a penal settlement , and in 1787 the first shipment of convicts set sail , arriving in 1788 . Britain continued to transport convicts to New South Wales until 1840 . The Australian colonies became profitable exporters of wool and gold , mainly because of gold rushes in the colony of Victoria , making its capital Melbourne for a time the richest city in the world and the second largest city ( after London ) in the British Empire .


The locations are Upper Darby , Ridley Park , and Lansdowne small communities just outside Philadelphia , Pennsylvania . Although not mentioned by name in the film , Ridley Park is credited at the end , and a police officer can be seen wearing the initials `` RPPD '' on his collar .

The non-rebreather mask is utilized for patients with physical trauma , chronic airway limitation , cluster headache , smoke inhalation , and carbon monoxide poisoning , or any other patients who require high - concentration oxygen , but do not require breathing assistance . Patients uncomfortable with having a mask on their face , such as those with claustrophobia , or patients with injuries to the mouth are more likely to benefit from a nasal cannula , or passive ( `` blow - by '' ) oxygen . Patients who are unable to breathe on their own would require invasive or noninvasive mechanical ventilation .


All this suggests the deuterostomes and protostomes are separate , monophyletic lineages . The main phyla of deuterostomes are the Echinodermata and Chordata . The former are radially symmetric and exclusively marine , such as starfish , sea urchins , and sea cucumbers . The latter are dominated by the vertebrates , animals with backbones . These include fish , amphibians , reptiles , birds , and mammals .


Animals are divided by body plan into vertebrates and invertebrates . Vertebrates -- fishes , amphibians , reptiles , birds , and mammals -- have a vertebral column ( spine ) ; invertebrates do not . All vertebrates and most invertebrates are bilaterally symmetrical ( Bilateria ) . Invertebrates include arthropods , molluscs , roundworms , ringed worms , flatworms , and other phyla in Ecdysozoa and Spiralia . Echinoderm larvae are initially bilaterally symmetrical , but later as adults develop radial symmetry ; Cnidarians are radially symmetrical ; ctenophores are biradially symmetrical ; and sponges have no symmetry .

The events in the poem take place over most of the sixth century , after the Anglo - Saxons had started their journey to England and before the beginning of the seventh century , a time when the Anglo - Saxons were either newly arrived or were still in close contact with their Germanic kinsmen in Northern Germany . The poem may have been brought to England by people of Geatish origins . Many suggest that Beowulf was first composed in the 7th century at Rendlesham in East Anglia , that the Sutton Hoo ship - burial also shows close connections with Scandinavia , and that the East Anglian royal dynasty , the Wuffingas , may have been descendants of the Geatish Wulfings . Others have associated this poem with the court of King Alfred the Great or with the court of King Cnut the Great .

<P> Daenerys Targaryen ( season 1 -- present ) portrayed by Emilia Clarke . Daenerys Targaryen is the exiled princess of the Targaryen dynasty . Also called `` the Stormborn '' , she and her brother Viserys were smuggled to Essos during the end of Robert 's Rebellion . For seventeen years , she has been under the care of Viserys , whom she fears , as he is abusive to her whenever she displeases him . In exchange for an army , Viserys marries her to the powerful Dothraki warlord Khal Drogo , making her a Khaleesi , a queen of the Dothraki . Daenerys is at first afraid of her new husband but after learning the Dothraki language , she manages to get past their barriers . She begins to understand him and genuinely falls in love with him after learning Drogo is an intelligent leader and a kind man . After embracing the Dothraki culture , she becomes stronger and rebels against her brother . She later becomes pregnant with Drogo 's son who is prophesied by the Dothraki to be the `` Stallion Who Mounts the World '' . After her brother 's death and an assassination attempt by Robert Baratheon , Drogo vows to Daenerys that he will conquer the Seven Kingdoms for her and their unborn son . However , during their journey Drogo suffers from blood poisoning due to an infected wound incurred during a fight with a Dothraki tribesman . Daenerys is forced to seek the help of healer Mirri Maz Duur to save his life using blood magic . Mirri tricks Daenerys by using her unborn son 's life as a sacrifice to heal Drogo , leaving him in a permanent catatonic state , and forcing Daenerys to end her husband 's life . Losing both her husband and son , Daenerys punishes Mirri by having her burnt at the stake . She also lays the three dragon eggs she received as a wedding gift onto Khal Drogo 's body , then steps into the burning funeral pyre . After the fire extinguishes itself , the Khaleesi and three baby dragons , named Drogon , Rhaegal , and Viserion , are found alive and unharmed . Daenerys takes the baby dragons and the remaining tribe to gather new allies and reclaim the Iron Throne . She becomes the first female Dothraki leader . In Season 2 , she is lost in the Red Waste , a stretch of barren land . She and her khalasar eventually make it to Qarth , where the nobles are more interested in her dragons than her conquering Westeros . When her dragons are stolen by Pyat Pree , she goes into the House of the Undying and retrieves them , killing Pyat Pree . In the second season 's finale , she imprisons her host Xaro Xoan Daxos for having helped Pyat Pree . Her horde loot Xaro 's mansion to buy a ship . Daenerys travels from Qarth to Astapor , a city in Slaver 's Bay , where she negotiates the purchase of elite eunuch soldiers called the Unsullied . She also meets the famed knight Ser Barristan Selmy , and accepts him into her queensguard . On her departure from the city , she frees the slaves and has Drogon torch its elders . By the end of Season 3 , although her power has not yet been tested , she has acquired the loyalty of tens of thousands of freed slaves from Astapor and Yunkai , her remaining Dothraki brethren ( and two former Westerosi soldiers whom she encountered through the Dothraki , who advise her ) 2,000 ' Second Sons ' cavalrymen , 8,000 ' Unsullied ' elite infantry , and three rapidly growing dragons . The stay in Slaver 's Bay has made her question her motives , however , and she takes up the cause of ending slavery as well , donning the honorific `` Breaker of Chains '' as the slaves hold her to the sky , praising her as their Mhysa , or `` Mother '' . Daenerys later frees the slaves from Meereen , the last of the slave cities in Slaver 's Bay , but realizes that she is slowly losing control of her dragons , especially when Drogon shows signs of aggression towards her when she tries to break up a fight between them over food . Aware that she does not have enough men to conquer Westeros just yet , Daenerys resolves to remain in Slaver 's Bay and rule as Queen for the time being . She eventually learns of Jorah 's original purpose , which was to spy on her for Robert Baratheon , and orders him to leave Meereen

Nintendo started out as a small Japanese company , founded by Fusajiro Yamauchi on September 23 , 1889 , as Nintendo Koppai . Based in Kyoto , Japan , the business produced and marketed Hanafuda cards . The name `` Nintendo '' is commonly assumed to mean `` leave luck to heaven '' , but there are no historical records to validate this assumption . The cards , which were all handmade , soon began to gain in popularity , and Yamauchi had to hire assistants to mass - produce cards to keep up with the demand .


Freshwater algal blooms are the result of an excess of nutrients , particularly some phosphates . The excess of nutrients may originate from fertilizers that are applied to land for agricultural or recreational purposes . They may also originate from household cleaning products containing phosphorus . These nutrients can then enter watersheds through water runoff . Excess carbon and nitrogen have also been suspected as causes . Presence of residual sodium carbonate acts as catalyst for the algae to bloom by providing dissolved carbon dioxide for enhanced photosynthesis in the presence of nutrients .


The Miami Dolphins hosted the New York Giants at Wembley Stadium in London , England on October 28 , 2007 .

Kennedy delivered this speech following the immediate aftermath of the Birmingham campaign and the growing number of demonstrations and protests throughout the southern United States . Kennedy was moved to action following the elevated racial tensions and wave of black riots in the spring 1963 .

The history of the Great Wall of China began when fortifications built by various states during the Spring and Autumn ( 771 -- 476 BC ) and Warring States periods ( 475 -- 221 BC ) were connected by the first emperor of China , Qin Shi Huang , to protect his newly founded Qin dynasty ( 221 -- 206 BC ) against incursions by nomads from Inner Asia .

The word autumn comes from the ancient Etruscan root autu - and has within it connotations of the passing of the year . It was borrowed by the neighbouring Romans , and became the Latin word autumnus . After the Roman era , the word continued to be used as the Old French word autompne ( automne in modern French ) or autumpne in Middle English , and was later normalised to the original Latin . In the Medieval period , there are rare examples of its use as early as the 12th century , but by the 16th century , it was in common use .


Rocinante ( Spanish pronunciation : ( roθiˈnante ) ) is Don Quixote 's horse in the novel Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes .

During World War I , in an effort to conserve fuel , Germany began observing DST on May 1 , 1916 . The rest of Europe soon followed . The plan was not adopted in the United States until the Standard Time Act of March 19 , 1918 , which confirmed the existing standard time zone system and set summer DST to begin on March 31 , 1918 ( reverting October 27 ) . The idea was unpopular and Congress abolished DST after the war , overriding President Woodrow Wilson 's veto . DST became a local option and was observed in some states until World War II , when President Franklin Roosevelt instituted year - round DST , called `` War Time '' , on February 9 , 1942 . It lasted until the last Sunday ( the 30th ) in September 1945 . After 1945 many states and cities east of the Mississippi River ( and mostly north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers ) adopted summer DST .

Tabitha and Napoleon received their best reviews on SYTYCD during season seven after a performance they choreographed to the song `` Outta Your Mind '' by Lil Jon . Creators.com called the routine `` brilliantly imaginative . '' Pioneer Local called it `` powerful ... It 's been so long since ( Tabitha and Napoleon ) have had a showstopping hip - hop number on SYTYCD . Not since Season 4 when they had Katee , Joshua , tWitch , Mark and Chelsie have they pulled out hip - hop this good . '' The routine was performed by ballet dancer Alex Wong and `` All - Star '' hip - hop dancer Stephen `` tWitch '' Boss from season four . The concept is about a psychologist ( tWitch ) who teaches a dancer ( Alex ) to let go of his technique and inhibitions and just dance . After the performance , tWitch and Alex received a standing ovation from the crowd and all three judges -- Nigel Lythgoe , Mia Michaels , and Adam Shankman . Host Cat Deeley commented `` I have never , never , in ' So You Think You Can Dance ' history , heard a roar from a crowd like this - ever . '' Lythgoe called the concept `` brilliant ... This is about a ballet dancer doing the most incredible hip - hop ... If this routine and you are not up for an Emmy with Napoleon and Tabitha next year , I do n't know why not . It 's probably one of the funnest , best hip - hop routines we 've ever had on this show . '' In slight disagreement , the Wall Street Journal noted that `` Outta Your Mind '' may in fact be nominated for an Emmy , but it is unlikely to win because past winners have all been lyrical , very emotional routines .

The Prisoners ( Temporary Discharge for Ill Health ) Act , commonly referred to as the Cat and Mouse Act , was an Act of Parliament passed in Britain under Herbert Henry Asquith 's Liberal government in 1913 . Some members of the Women 's Social and Political Union ( WSPU , commonly referred to as suffragettes ) had been imprisoned for acts of vandalism in support of women 's suffrage . In protest to being imprisoned some of these suffragettes undertook hunger strikes . These suffragettes were then force - fed leading to a public outcry . This act was a response to the outcry ; it allowed the prisoners to be released on licence as soon as the hunger strike affected their health . They then had a period of time in which they could recover . After a predetermined period of time the prisoner would be rearrested to serve out the rest of their sentence . Conditions could be placed on the prisoner during the time of their release . The hunger strikes themselves were now technically legal . However , the Act allowed for the re-imprisonment of the hunger strikers upon their recovery on their original charges . The nickname of the Act came about because of a cat 's habit of playing with its prey ( a mouse ) before finishing it off .

As stipulated in the Banking Act of 1935 , the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Board are two of seven members of the Board of Governors who are appointed by the President from among the sitting Governors .

Home and Family is a two - hour daily Hallmark series , recorded one day prior , in Los Angeles , California . Steines said that the decision for that was made to encourage actors to be on the show , without having to wake at 4 : 00 a.m. The focus of the show is simply entertainment and tips within a `` wholesome image '' .

The most common type of megalithic construction in Europe is the portal tomb -- a chamber consisting of upright stones ( orthostats ) with one or more large flat capstones forming a roof . Many of these , though by no means all , contain human remains , but it is debatable whether use as burial sites was their primary function . The megalithic structures of Malta are believed to be the oldest in Europe , in particular Skorba Temples . Though generally known as dolmens , the correct term accepted by archaeologists is portal tomb . However many local names exist , such as anta in Galicia and Portugal , stazzone in Sardinia , hunebed in the Netherlands , Hünengrab in Germany , dysse in Denmark , and cromlech in Wales . It is assumed that most portal tombs were originally covered by earthen mounds .


`` There is one body and one Spirit just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call one Lord , one faith , one baptism , one God and Father of all , who is over all and through all and in all '' . This list in the Pauline letters of factors making Christians one body , one church , is doubtless not meant to be exhaustive , says Francis Aloysius Sullivan , but it affirms the oneness of the body , the church , through what Christians have in common , what they have communion in . Elsewhere , Paul the Apostle says : `` There is neither Jew nor Greek , there is neither slave nor free , there is no male and female , for you are all one in Christ Jesus '' ( Gal. 3 : 28 ) . This statement was about Christians as individuals , but it applied to them also as groups , as local churches , whether composed mainly of Jewish or Gentile Christians . In 1 Cor. 15 : 9 , Paul spoke of himself as having persecuted `` the church of God '' , not just the local church in Jerusalem but the same church that he addresses at the beginning of that letter as `` the church of God that is in Corinth '' ( 1 Cor. 1 : 2 ) . In the same letter , he tells Christians : `` You are the body of Christ and individually members of it '' ( 1 Cor. 12 : 27 ) , and declares that , `` just as the body is one and has many members , and all the members of the body , though many , are one body , so it is with Christ '' ( 1 Cor. 12 : 12 ) .

  Luke and Lorelai go on their official first date at a restaurant owned by old friends of Luke 's parents .

Lorelai spends the night at Luke 's place . In the morning , she goes down to the diner to get coffee , and the breakfast crowd sees her wearing only Luke 's shirt . There 's surprisingly little gossip about Luke and Lorelai until the next town meeting , where Taylor uses charts to show how disastrous a breakup between them would be for Stars Hollow . Meanwhile , Rory meets a rich Yale student named Logan and chews him out for being rude to her friend Marty . Paris holds a wake for Asher that all the guests assume is a keg party with a weird theme . Emily freaks out when she discovers that Richard has a social life she does n't know about so she invades Rory 's dorm during the wake .

Later dynasties adopted different policies towards northern frontier defense . The Han ( 202 BC -- 220 AD ) , the Northern Qi ( 550 -- 574 ) , the Sui ( 589 -- 618 ) , and particularly the Ming ( 1369 -- 1644 ) were among those that rebuilt , re-manned , and expanded the Walls , although they rarely followed Qin 's routes . The Han extended the fortifications furthest to the west , the Qi built about 1,600 kilometres ( 990 mi ) of new walls , while the Sui mobilised over a million men in their wall - building efforts . Conversely , the Tang ( 618 -- 907 ) , the Song ( 960 -- 1279 ) , the Yuan ( 1271 -- 1368 ) , and the Qing ( 1644 -- 1911 ) mostly did not build frontier walls , instead opting for other solutions to the Inner Asian threat like military campaigning and diplomacy .

The film begins with various shots of the audience chanting `` Dusty ! '' , which is repeated throughout . Meanwhile , the band begins , as the smoke and the lights are turned on , we see Wyatt `` Dusty '' Chandler ( George Strait ) entering the stage , and performing `` Heartland '' , `` Baby Your Baby '' , and a shortened version of `` Where the Sidewalk Ends '' . Dusty feels that his elaborate stage show is overwhelming his music , a suspicion confirmed one night when he purposely forgets several bars of a chart - topping hit and his fans do n't even notice . Disillusioned , Dusty walks off after the concert without telling his manager , Lula ( Lesley Ann Warren ) . The only person he tells is his best friend and drummer , Earl ( John Doe ) , and that he is `` taking a walk , '' but does not say exactly where he is going or for how long . Dusty is singing a blurry version of `` Where the Sidewalk Ends '' . In a down home bar , we see Al ( Mark Walters ) . Dusty had breakfast with the Tucker family during this scene .

Filming began on March 3 , 2013 in New York City . Producers invited author Block to the set to watch filming . On the casting of Neeson , Block said , `` Readers often ask who 'd be my ideal Matt Scudder , and I usually change the subject . But now it 's safe to tell you that , ever since I saw him in Michael Collins , Neeson has been up at the top of my personal Scudder wish list . I could n't be happier about either the star or the writer / director , both of them genuine artists and brilliant professionals . My book 's in good hands . ''


The Great Wall of China visible today largely dates from the Ming dynasty , as they rebuilt much of the wall in stone and brick , often extending its line through challenging terrain . Some sections remain in relatively good condition or have been renovated , while others have been damaged or destroyed for ideological reasons , deconstructed for their building materials , or lost due to the ravages of time . For long an object of fascination for foreigners , the wall is now a revered national symbol and a popular tourist destination .


 Retribution -- Criminals ought to Be Punished in some way . This is the most widely seen goal . Criminals have taken improper advantage , or inflicted unfair detriment , upon others and consequently , the criminal law will put criminals at some unpleasant disadvantage to `` balance the scales . '' People submit to the law to receive the right not to be murdered and if people contravene these laws , they surrender the rights granted to them by the law . Thus , one who murders may be executed himself . A related theory includes the idea of `` righting the balance . ''

 Deterrence -- Individual deterrence is aimed toward the specific offender . The aim is to impose a sufficient penalty to discourage the offender from criminal behavior . General deterrence aims at society at large . By imposing a penalty on those who commit offenses , other individuals are discouraged from committing those offenses .

 Incapacitation -- Designed simply to keep criminals away from society so that the public is protected from their misconduct . This is often achieved through prison sentences today . The death penalty or banishment have served the same purpose .

 Rehabilitation -- Aims at transforming an offender into a valuable member of society . Its primary goal is to prevent further offense by convincing the offender that their conduct was wrong .

 Restoration -- This is a victim - oriented theory of punishment . The goal is to repair , through state authority , any injury inflicted upon the victim by the offender . For example , one who embezzles will be required to repay the amount improperly acquired . Restoration is commonly combined with other main goals of criminal justice and is closely related to concepts in the civil law , i.e. , returning the victim to his or her original position before the injury .

At the time , Holly and his band , consisting of Waylon Jennings , Tommy Allsup , and Carl Bunch , were playing on the `` Winter Dance Party '' tour across the United States Midwest . Rising artists Valens and Richardson had joined the tour , as well . The long journeys between venues on board the cold , uncomfortable tour buses adversely affected the performers , with cases of flu and even frostbite . After stopping at Clear Lake to perform , and frustrated by such conditions , Holly chose to charter a plane to reach their next venue in Moorhead , Minnesota . Richardson , who had the flu , swapped places with Jennings , taking his seat on the plane , while Allsup lost his seat to Valens on a coin toss . Soon after takeoff , late at night and in poor , wintry weather conditions , the pilot lost control of the light aircraft , a Beechcraft Bonanza , which subsequently crashed into a cornfield . Everyone on board was killed . The event has since been mentioned in various songs and films . A number of monuments have been erected at the crash site and in Clear Lake , where an annual memorial concert is also held at the Surf Ballroom , the venue that hosted the artists ' last performance .
