gunboats and took them to an unknown destination.

At approximately 06:30 on the same day, two Israeli gunboats surrounded two fishing boats sailing only 300 meters off the shore. The gunboats then heavily opened fire at the boats; one of which belongs to As’ad Mohammed Mohammed al-Sultan (52) and manned by the owner and Khaled Mahmoud Ahmed al-Sultan while the other belongs to Mahmoud Ahmed ‘Abdullah al-Sultan (47) and was manned by his two sons, Mohammed (23) and Ayman (15). The Israeli soldiers ordered all of fishermen on both boats to take off their clothes, jumped into the water and swim towards the two gunboats. The Israeli soldiers roped the two boats with the gunboats and took them to an unknown destination.

At approximately 08:10 on the same day, twoelbowing out traffickers of the Asian product, according to a DEA official, but the dynamics of the drug trade on both sides of the border are somewhat more complex.

Video published Monday by Mexican broadcaster Televisa revealed details of the secret tunnel used by Mr. Guzmán to slip away from marines as they stormed a house he was using in the coastal city of Los Mochis. He was arrested hours later trying to leave the city in a stolen car.

The tunnel was hidden behind a closet mirror, featured a secret switch hidden in the ceiling, and had electricity and wooden planks covering the walls, the images showed. Marines took nearly 90 minutes to find the tunnel and open the access, giving him a big head start.

Mr. Guzmán, the world’s


most notorious drug lord and leader of the Sinaloa cartel, has a long history with tunnels. He is widely credited with pioneering the use of tunnels to ferry drugs across the U.S.-Mexico border, and used tunnels in recent years to elude capture as Mexico’s most-wanted criminal. He then famously used a mile-long tunnel to escape from prison last July.

Were he living, Dosto may have something to say on Chapo’s underground tendencies.

The main reason for the bloodshed in Mexico since the early part of 2000‘s comes from Guzman’s efforts to take control of the entire Northern Mexican border with the United States. While the expansion has been partly successful, the land-grab has resulted in thousands of deaths as rival cartels and former allies have at different times taken armsto protect their turf.

El Chapo’s attempt to take Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, led that massive drug trafficking corridor to become the Murder Capital of the world. The violence came when El Chapo’s forces clashed with the Vicente Carrillo Fuentes Organization, also known as the Juarez Cartel.

Even before Juarez, El Chapo and his then allied the Beltran Leyva cartel had unsuccessfully tried to take over the Mexican border city of Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas. That effort was met with a violent response from the Gulf Cartel and their enforcers Los Zetas. Gruesome executions and fierce clashes between convoys of gunmen became a regular sight.

Spanish journalist Emili Blasco reports that Carvajal allegedly “was in charge of procuring the drugs from the FARC and controlled the distribution process in the U.S. and Europe,


along with laundering the drug money through PDVSA,” the government-owned oil company. Carvajal also is under investigation for his role on the attacks to the Colombian consulate and the Jewish center in Caracas.

Blasco reported in yesterday’s ABC that Venezuela security sources conveyed the information regarding the presence of El Chapo’s children to U.S. authorities, and that the Mexican government also would have been told.

Blasco mentions that DEA sources claim that El Chapo had visited Venezuela in August/September last year.

“A new and military powerful cartel is appearing, and opening up a new front in the war against drugs in Guadalajara and Jalisco,” said Raul Benitez, a security analyst at the National Autonomous University of Mexico.

The flare-up of violence in Guadalajara, a city of 1.5 million people in a metropolitanarea of 4.5 million, and the resort town of Puerto Vallarta is the latest setback for the government of President Enrique Peña Nieto. The government has been determined to show that Mexico is a modern, emerging economy, but its inability to control areas where criminal gangs continue to exert control have frustrated these efforts.

“Guadalajara is not a little town in the middle of nowhere, and this shows the cartel has the logistics and power to paralyze a city,” said Jorge Chabat, a security analyst at the CIDE think tank in Mexico City.

The areas the Jalisco cartel controls sit astride important transport and production centers for cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and marijuana.

Border Patrol spokesman Victor Brabble said the tunnel did not cross into the U.S.

This is not the first, nor the only; in fact,

More than 70 such tunnels have been found since October 2008, most of them concentrated along the border in California and Arizona. In Nogales, Arizona, smugglers tap into vast underground drainage canals.

A group of armed men stormed a town in the mountains of the western state of Sinaloa on Christmas Eve and shot nine men to death with assault weapons, then dumped their bodies on a sports field as part of a war between Mexico’s two most powerful cartels, officials said Wednesday.
Sinaloa state prosecutor Marco Antonio Higuera Gomez said the town of El Platanar de Los Ontiveros had become part of a dispute between the Sinaloacartel controlled by Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, Mexico’s most-wanted man, and remnants of the Beltran-Leyva cartel who have allied themselves with the Zetas, a paramilitary organized-crime group founded by ex-members of the Mexican special forces.
…
Another cartel fight is raging to the south, along the border between the state of Jalisco and Michoacan. At least seven people have been killed in the area since Sunday. Officials in both states said Wednesday they could not confirm local media reports of more than a dozen new deaths in clashes in the area. Michoacan authorities did report the slaying of a mother and her three children in the capital, Morelia, which has been mostly spared the worst of the state’s drug violence.
Prosecutors said 41-year-old Maria Elena Lopez Bautista and her 19-year-old daughter


and 18- and 13-year-old sons appeared to have been tied hand and foot with wire and burned to death inside their home on Monday.
Officials did not speculate on the motive for the crime, but the border with Jalisco has been hit by clashes between Michoacan’s dominant Knights Templar cartel, and the New Generation cartel that operates in much of Jalisco.

With the PRI back in power in Mexico, and marijuana legalization in the USA, 2013 will be an interesting year.

President Donald Trump is set to dominate the Conservative Political Action Conference this week in Maryland, where he is scheduled to appear along with an array of top White House officials.

Trump will speak on Friday at the annual conservative showcase, which is run by the American Conservative Union. Vice President Mike Pence will give an address on Thursday. White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and chief strategist Steve Bannon will participate in a panel discussion. Newly confirmed Education Secretary Betsy DeVos will also speak.

The other planned events have a Trump-like feel, as well. Nigel Farage, the right-wing British politician who joined Trump on the presidential campaign trail in 2016, is scheduled to appear. Policy panels have titles like "If Heaven Has a Gate, A Wall, and ExtremeVetting, Why Can't America?" and "Black Lives Matter, So Why Does The Left Not Support Law Enforcement?"

A panel on trade includes Ed Schultz, the former MSNBC host now who now works at state-owned Russia Today. The final speaker Saturday evening is Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, a prominent Trump backer who declared it was "pitchfork and torches time in America" at a campaign rally in October.

CPAC has always fed its audiences — 9,000 to 10,000 are expected at the gathering this week, according to a CPAC spokesman — plenty of red meat, but the Trumpian tone is distinct from previous years. After President Barack Obama's re-election, the 2013 conference was packed with speakers who supported immigration reform and emphasized outreach to minority voters, which led to tension with


some hardline attendees.

At the time, the ACU's chairman was Al Cardenas, a longtime ally of Jeb Bush and early backer of Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, for president. Now the ACU is run by Matt Schlapp, a former political director to President George W. Bush who takes pride in being one of the earliest Bush alums to embrace Trump.

"I took a lot of guff from my former Bush colleagues who didn't see what was happening in the country," Schlapp told NBC News in an interview. He praised Trump for marrying "conservative instincts" to a populist appeal.

For Trump, who hashad an up-and-down relationship with the annual conservative showcase, it's a chance to take a victory lap. In 2015, his CPAC speech was focused on convincing people he was serious about running for president: "A lot of people think I'm doing this for fun," he said then. In 2016, he abruptly canceled a planned appearance, prompting CPAC's organizers to respond that "his choice sends a clear message to conservatives" on Twitter.

Trump enjoys strong approval ratings among Republicans, but the rocky lead-up to the event this year is a reminder that the conservative movement is still divided over the president and the ideas raised by his campaign. On Monday, CPAC dropped planned speaker Milo Yiannopoulos, a popular figure in so-called alt right circles who refers to Trump as "Daddy,"


where I think the activists are trying to explain to those elites they're not buying it anymore."

Ironically, the grassroots activists who showed up to CPAC in prior years might not have come off as a harbinger of Trump. The crowd is usually packed with college students, many of them libertarian, and both demographics were especially resistant to Trump. In the 2016 presidential straw poll, only 15 percent of CPAC attendees listed Trump as their preferred choice. Senator Ted Cruz won with 40 percent. At the same time, CPAC has often featured speakers and events with an outrageous streak, from Ann Coulter to Phil Robertson, that foreshadowed Trump's appeal.

A low-temperature process also makes a line printer feasible because of the low internal stress in the film.
Incidentally, it is mentioned in the above thesis that an alkali aqueous solution is used as the treatment solution in the crystallization of the piezoelectric film precursor.

Beginnings as Star Trek fan

Born in New York City, Drexler was a first-generation Star Trek: The Original Series fan – although he was prohibited from watching television on school nights, Drexler managed to watch "This Side of Paradise", and subsequently to persuade his parents to allow him an hour's viewing a week, for Star Trek.

Drexler, a School of Visual Arts, New York, BA degree graduate, along with Ron Barlow, ran a small fan-based Star Trek store in Manhattan, New York – "The Federation Trading Post" – during the mid-1970s. Although failing initially, the store became more well-known after advertising during Original Series syndication, eventually becoming a focus for media contact about Star Trek. Drexler and Barlow were approached by Paradise Press to edit, and write


for, one of the first professional Star Trek magazines not being an fanzine, the Star Trek Giant Poster Book – which was, for all intents and purposes, Drexler's very first official contribution to the franchise. It was through the store that Drexler met and befriended frequent collaborator Geoffrey Mandel, with whom he compiled one of the first, albeit unauthorized, technical reference works in Trek history: the USS Enterprise Officer's Manual, as well as native-Californian Anthony Fredrickson (having actually already befriended him in his high-school days), with whom he would author the Star Fleet Medical Reference Manual, originally an unauthorized fan fiction publication, later reissued as a licensed reference work. A major piece on "The Federation Trading Post" was written in 1982 for the semi-professional magazine Enterprise Incidents, issuedepartment (ironically, the same room I worked in for two years on Voyager), and talk to some of the designers, including Mike Minor and Lee Cole. What was probably a routine meeting for them with two Trek geeks was a decisive moment in my career, and Doug's – we suddenly realized that there was actually a PAYING JOB for people like us, who liked to design spacecraft and draw little diagrams of ray guns. I can remember coming back home to New York and telling my mother that I finally knew what I wanted to do with my life, and she had a good laugh when I said it was to work in science fiction art departments. Who could possibly make a living at that?!" The wide-eyed fan


Drexler came in a sense full circle as he was yet to work on The Motion Picture, when he, a quarter of a century later, worked as a digital artist on the 2001 Star Trek: The Motion Picture (The Director's Edition) DVD version.

Drexler also contributed as co-writer of two Gold Key TOS comics issues, "This Tree Bears Bitter Fruit" (#47) and "Murder Boards the Enterprise" (#48). On issue #47, he is credited as a story consultant.

Starting a professional career

Drexler began working as a makeup artist in 1983 on movies like The Hunger, and Amityville 3-D, having been invited to do so by renowned makeup artist, Dick Smith. His other early work included C.H.U.D., Starman (both, 1984), Manhunter (1986), My Demon Lover and Fatal Attraction (1987), Poltergeist III (1988),as well as 3 Men and a Little Lady (1990).

After engaging in a long correspondence with Robert Justman and Michael Westmore during preproduction of the new spin-off television series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, only to be unable to get a position on the series due to union rules, Drexler moved to Hollywood in 1990 to work on Dick Tracy (being made a member of the LA Union by Warren Beatty), for which he later won a 1991 Academy Award (shared with John Caglione, Jr.), a BAFTA Award (also shared with Caglione), supplemented by a Saturn Award (again co-shared with Caglione) to boot. Dick Tracy featured many Star Trek alumni in the cast: Colm Meaney, John Schuck, Ian Wolfe, Seymour Cassel, Hamilton Camp, Chuck Hicks, Mike Hagerty, Robert


Costanzo, Ed McCready, Bert Remsen, Walker Edmiston, and Michael J. Pollard. Though he afterwards ended up being hired on the Star Trek, he initially concurrently worked on the productions True Identity (1991), Shining Through (1992), and Running Delilah (1993) while the series was in hiatus.

Professional Star Trek affiliation

Now able to work in California, Drexler again approached Westmore to reapply for a position in the Next Generation make-up department. Westmore, incredulous at first that an Academy Award nominee would want to work as a lesser paid makeup artist for a television show – even though he himself had already won one – hired him, but not before he had exclaimed, "what do you want to do that for, you're doing features!" [5] Later friend and co-worker, Michael Okuda, too,was impressed that an Academy Award winner decided to work on a television show, "(…) It was I who was honored to meet this Academy Award-winning artist. He did me – and Star Trek – a huge favor when he said he was interested in working in the Art Department. I already knew of his talent, but I was impressed that he offered to take a huge pay cut to work with us."

The Next Generation

Drexler's first assignment was putting on the Shakespeare makeup on Patrick Stewart for the Next Generation's third season episode "The Defector". (The Official Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Magazine issue 11, p. 53; ) How eager Drexler was to work on Star Trek was exemplified by the fact that he was already working in


the make-up department before Dick Tracy even received its three Oscars out of seven nominations. Actually winning one, was an unending source of glee for Next Generation actor LeVar Burton as Drexler recalled, "The cast loved it. They went crazy. LeVar Burton used to tease me constantly. I would walk on set, he would yell, "ladies and gentlemen, Academy Award winning makeup artist Doug Drexler." It didn’t matter where I was. One day I was walking down Ventura Boulevard in Studio City, and some guy comes racing around the corner and we collide. We looked at one another, and it’s LeVar! I’m like, "oh, no," because I knew it was coming. He turns to the entire crowded street and announces at the top of his lungs, "ladies andgentlemen, Academy Award winning…". Funny as hell." [8]

Drexler continued to work as a make-up artist for three years, earning him two Emmy Award nominations as such, with the first appearance of Lal make-up for the third season episode "The Offspring" becoming one of his more noticeable contributions.

Deep Space Nine

Pleased as Drexler was, working on Star Trek, he did profess that, "(…)the art department was calling to me and that's really where I wanted to be." He struck up a friendship with Michael Okuda, whom he admired, and kept in touch with him and his Scenic Art Department, waiting for an opportunity to move over. That opportunity came when Star Trek: Deep Space Nine went into production and Okuda hired him, eventually becoming the lead scenic artist on the


series. A grateful Drexler recalled, "Looking through the trade paper, Variety, I saw that Paramount had made up their minds and they were going to do Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. I got on the phone right away to Mike Okuda, who really stuck out his neck for me, and that's how it happened!" (The Official Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Magazine issue 11, p. 54)

Though hired as scenic artist, usually working alongside fellow Scenic Artist Denise Okuda – wife of Michael – on an alternating episode basis, Drexler almost from the start doubled as production illustrator, designing props, albeit officially uncredited, "Mike hired me to design graphics, but as soon as Herman found out I could sketch, he had me designing hand props. Mike had an ideaTrek Generations, Star Trek: First Contact, and Star Trek: Insurrection. Most notable was his creation of his first, highly detailed MSD of the USS Enterprise-B, prominently seen in Generations and on which he commented, "I enjoyed laying cross sections out, and was proud that Mike thought I was the guy for the job." Future Star Trek productions would afford him ample opportunity to indulge this passion.

Voyager

Officially, Drexler never worked for the studio on Star Trek: Voyager, when that series started production in 1994. This was due to the studio's policy of contracting production staffers for one Star Trek production only, though it did not extend to the senior department staff, which in Drexler's case was Michael Okuda only. As Deep Space Nine scenic artist Drexler was therefore legally


and formally forbidden to work on any of the other Star Trek television productions, a bit to his chagrin, as he once stated that as far as he was concerned, "There was no good reason for this that we could perceive." Still, the studio condoned his input in the earliest stages of the new series' development by relaxing their own proviso when they, among others, requested Drexler to submit design propositions for the new "hero" ship, though the studio made sure Drexler was not credited for it. Actual "illegal" activities Drexler, the consummate Star Trek fan, performed for the new series were, for example, the application of the signage decals on the USS Voyager studio model (A Vision of the Future - Star Trek: Voyager, p. 325) andthe co-construction of the Mars Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards maquette for the second season season episode "Lifesigns". A very noticeable contribution Drexler made was the USS Voyager MSD he created together with Okuda.

After Deep Space Nine wrapped, Drexler moved over as a production illustrator and visual effects (VFX) artist with Foundation Imaging, for whom he yet continued working on Voyager, the only time during his Star Trek years he was not directly employed by Paramount. Yet, by this time he had already gradually and increasingly been called upon to make contributions as a production illustrator – although he was never officially credited as such until Star Trek: Enterprise – even after not being formally employed by the franchise at the time. "I'm the only guy on the Voyager


on the design of the new "hero" ship, Enterprise NX-01, for the upcoming series Star Trek: Enterprise. Starting to design a prototype CGI model under the erroneous impression that it would just be a quick mock-up, He found himself in a months long, unpaid, high pressure workload that took up most of his spare time, as he was at the time still fully employed at Foundation, working on the aforementioned Star Trek: The Motion Picture (The Director's Edition) DVD, among others. (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 2, Issue 10, pp. 25-26) Drexler's dogged determination to bring the project to successful fruition, which was anything but "dabbling", solicited an accolade of high praise from Michael Okuda, "That's dedication, but that's what Doug brings to every project. And it earnedhim a place among such luminaries as Jefferies, Probert, Sternbach, Eaves, Taylor, Zimmerman, and James." However, Drexler, back in the employ of Paramount one year later, was rewarded for this stressful assignment by his subsequent position on the new series as "Senior Illustrator", finally earning him his illustrator credit. During these years, Drexler also contributed as illustrator to the last Star Trek film set in the prime universe, Star Trek Nemesis.

As an Original Series fan, Drexler became concerned with the chosen visual direction the producers had decided upon for the new prequel series, but as former co-worker Mandel stated, "Having been around then, I also know that Doug Drexler and John Eaves did exactly what the producers asked them to," despite the fact that Drexler, while proud of


"(…) the NX-01, even though it was a frustrating experience," considered himself "(…) a "canon" kind of guy. I would have liked to have seen the Daedalus style ship. You know… the sphere instead of saucer. The producers wanted it to be a saucer because they wanted it "recognizable"." It hinted at elevated tension levels between producers and creative staffers on what a "proper" prequel visual style or starship design lineage should look like. Subsequent events however, proved that fans were in concordance with the creative staff. And while several by then former colleagues, Bonchune in particular, later vented their negative opinions on several internet blogs, Drexler, in accordance with his upbeat and diplomatic nature, kept these to himself... usually; only once did he allow himself to slipup when he made the acerbic "You'll make a fine producer!" riposte to one fan's overly criticism of his later refit NX design, speaking volumes in that respect, the succinctness of the remark notwithstanding.

Other official Star Trek work

When he started his tenure as scenic artist on Deep Space Nine, Drexler taught himself the Adobe Illustrator software which, aside for submitting his early USS Voyager design propositions in this format, served him well in providing the graphics for the Star Trek Chronology, Star Trek Encyclopedia and the subsequent Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual. Drexler actually had to learn computer skills as one of his main responsibilities turned out to be creating the various okudagrams for Deep Space Nine in the format. Completely new to the computer phenomenon,


32) As an Original Series fan, Drexler might otherwise have been a consideration for the producers not to employ him, as friend and co-worker Mandel reiterated, "When they started Enterprise, they made a conscious decision to bring in some new blood, and not just round up the usual suspects; but in practice, it meant that fans like Rick Sternbach, Tim Earls, and myself weren't asked back. However, a number of fans who had worked on DS9 and had been taking an extended leave of absence came back when Enterprise started, so the total number of Star Trek fans stayed about the same."

Due to his intimate knowledge of The Original Series, Drexler has been deeply involved with the build of the Original Series sets for the homage episodes TNG:"Relics", DS9: "Trials and Tribble-ations", and ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly", and though he has not received a "production designer" credit for any of them, his contributions to the second episode in particular were examined in detail in the 2001 reference eBook, The Magic of Tribbles: The Making of Trials and Tribble-ations. "In particular, Doug was the one responsible for going thru stacks and stacks of VHS tapes, doing video frame grabs for all of us who needed to know what the corridor door frames looked like, or where the intercoms were mounted, or how wide the stripes were on the floor, or a million other things. There is no way that this episode could have been as accurate as it was without Doug's dedication and hard work.


Without Doug's efforts, a lot more things would have been guesswork, and the overall product would have been diminished," an appreciative Okuda stated in regard to the "Tribble" episode.

While Drexler worked for the live action franchise, he co-authored and illustrated the Manual, and illustrated all editions of the Encyclopedia, its CD-ROM derivative, as well as such reference books like Star Trek Science Logs, all of them in Adobe. His subsequent mastery of the LightWave software, in addition to his regular work for televised Star Trek, also served him well when he was asked by Pocket Books to provide CGI covers for several of their novels, most notably the covers of the Star Trek: Vanguard novels. (Star Trek Magazine issue 162, pp. 82-84) In addition, from 2004 onward, hebecame a contributor and co-editor of the popular Star Trek: Ships of the Line calendar series, in the process managing to strike up a warm working relationship with then-chief editor of Pocket Books, Margaret Clark – unlike several other colleague Star Trek authors. He also contributed as illustrator to the 1998 interactive CD-ROM Star Trek: Captain's Chair, for which he, most notably, created the Constitution-class operations graphic that was later elevated to canon when it was featured in the fourth season Enterprise episode "In a Mirror, Darkly".

Drexler also contributed to the 2004 film portion of the Borg Invasion 4D ride at the Star Trek: The Experience attraction, but for a long time he was not aware of it; when he posted on his blog, in 2009, a CGI


model of a shuttle he had constructed, he, after first incorrectly believing it was a rejected build for the title sequence of Enterprise, could only remember that he, "(…)was building the model in the art department when I got the word that Foundation had already begun their version, so it was never completed." This indicated that it was nevertheless built for the first season of the new series, as Foundation only worked on that season before the company went out of business. His blog participants almost immediately recognized the shuttle as having been featured in the the Borg ride, much to Drexler's glee, "That’s the great thing about blogging with you guys! It makes me remember! Yes! I do believe it was used as the Olympia. I thinkI turned this over to Threshold, along with a starbase model. Was there a starbase in the story?" And indeed there was, also immediately identified by blog participants as having been featured in the ride when Drexler posted that model a short time later.

As it turned out, Drexler was at the time requested to turn over his models to Threshold Digital Research Labs, the effects company which produced the VFX for the ride under the supervision of Drexler's former Foundation superior Adam Lebowitz. Unaware of this fact, but thinking nothing further of it, Drexler dutifully complied by handing over his, what he believed, Enterprise rejects. At Threshold the models were completed and featured as the Olympia shuttle and as the Starfleet science research facility Copernicus Station, respectively. By


the 2012 follow-up project, the remastered Next Generation, albeit uncredited, and on a more freelance, occasional base. [31] In addition, he has served as technical consultant and illustrator for the model kit companies Bandai and Polar Lights for their respective (refit) NX-class model kit outings in 2003 and 2014. In 2012, Drexler joined, on a freelance basis, the editorial staff of Ben Robinson's Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection partwork publication as CGI supervisor, consultant, and contributor, especially on those issues that sported his own starship designs. In 2013, Drexler and Andrew Probert designed the new Deep Space 9 station for the cover of the Star Trek: The Fall novel Revelation and Dust.

In November 2014 Drexler again returned to the Star Trek franchise when he was invited tobecome a part as consultant of a team of experts – including a host of former Star Trek alumni – to oversee a new restoration of the original eleven-foot Enterprise studio model, residing at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum (NASM), for its 50th anniversary. [32] Though having accepted the prestigious assignment, Drexler was unable to attend the team's first work meeting on 13 May 2015, due to previous engagements. [33]

Doug Drexler has made two cameo appearances as a Starfleet officer. Upon starting work on Star Trek, he asked if he could appear as a background artist, in uniform, at some point. His wish was granted in the third season episode "Transfigurations", in which he appeared as a command division Enterprise-D officer in several scenes set in


Ten Forward. He also appeared in "These Are the Voyages..." as an Earth Starfleet ceremony attendee.

Perhaps not coincidentally, his name has been used referring to two Starfleet personnel, D. Drexler and Douglas Drexler, on dedication plaques in the same time periods.

In addition, Drexler had a Klingon character named after him – Drex, the son of Martok and Sirella, appearing in "The Way of the Warrior" – and which titillated him to no end; "I got a Klingon named after me! There was a Klingon named Drex. Michael Dorn always loved my last name for a Klingon; on TNG he would yell across the stage, "Drexler, Drexler, Drexler." He'd say, "It's a great Klingon name." And I think I told Ira that. Also I had Drex on my jacket.are devoid of Gene Roddenberry, and at the end of the day, I'm not ok with that." [1] Drexler has not been the only former production staffer who felt this way; Robert Meyer Burnett has publicly voiced similar concerns in a February 2017 Word Balloon podcast interview with John Siuntres, [34] as had his former colleague Roger Lay, Jr. already done in 2013 for that matter. [35]

Still, despite continuing being a fan, it has not prevented Drexler, after meeting Alec Peters, to let go of most of his collection of Star Trek production items he had accumulated over the years, in Propworx' first two 2010-2011 specialized Star Trek auctions, as he started to run out of storage space. Nevertheless, most of these he had already previously shared with


fellow fans on his blog (see below).

Continuations as Star Trek fan

Outside the official franchise framework, Drexler, The Original Series fan he is, but now credited under the pseudonym "Max Rem", also volunteered to work on James Cawley's fan-made internet series Star Trek: New Voyages (2004-2007). He worked as a VFX artist, executive producer, make-up artist, casting director, and editor on the series and wrote the story for the episode "In Harms Way". As CGI VFX artist, Drexler built several CGI model versions of ships for this production, such as the Class F shuttlecraft, the Klingon D7 class, the DY-100 class, and most notably, with support from Petri Blomqvist, the Constitution class. Most of these CGI builds for this fan production turned up later on several occasions, usually creditedunder his "Max Rem" pseudonym, in the licensed Ships of the Line calendar series and their book derivatives.

From 2013 onward, Drexler, now under his own name, continued to extend his support as producer and VFX artist to the more recent, likewise conceived fan project, Star Trek Continues. In the first full episode of the series, "Pilgrim of Eternity", Drexler also starred in a guest role as a holodeck character in the episode's teaser.

The Drex Files

To disseminate all the knowledge he had accumulated over the years to fellow Star Trek fans, Drexler started his internet blog, the , on 14 December 2008. For four years running, a large amount of behind-the-scenes information was posted on this blog (including most of his aforementioned collection of Star Trek production items), providing


an intimate look into all production aspects of Star Trek productions set in the prime universe, with most of its contents not available anywhere else. Over the years, Drexler's blog amassed a large following; not only fans participated in his blog, but former VFX production staff colleagues did as well, such as Brandon MacDougall, Robert Bonchune, Adam Buckner, Dana White Shea, and many more. The more prominent production staff contributors to Drexler's blog were Rick Sternbach, Michael Okuda, and Andrew Probert, who all provided a considerable amount of additional information.

Noteworthy was that, on his blog, Drexler provided a platform for young and aspiring "amateur" digital modelers to showcase their work. Along with former Foundation colleague Adam "Mojo" Lebowitz, Drexler became one of the few publication editors who grantedNext Generation episode "Rightful Heir". In it, he emulated the signature pensive and moody pose that actor Arnold Schwarzenegger had assumed in his titular role at the end of the 1982 cult classic, Conan the Barbarian. Unwittingly and in hindsight, it was Drexler himself who had provided an apt coda for his blog; as of 2020 Drexler has opted not to revive his blog, but instead to use his Facebook page as the venue to continue disseminating his knowledge, with much of his undisputed blog contents ported over to that venue.

The "DrexFiles" proved to be an inspiration for the companion site of John Eaves, who started his likewise successful blog, Eavesdropping with Johnny, on 16 March 2009. He stated on that occasion, "I have to thank the ever


and all talented master of media and VFX illusionist, Doug Drexler, for encouraging me to get off my fat butt and finally start a fun blog page!!! I have always wanted to have place to share the fun and adventures of those glorious movie and Star Trek days with friends, coworkers, and fans of the films and shows…" [37]

Post-Star Trek career

While employed at Foundation Imaging, Drexler was at first put to work on Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles, before being allowed to work on Voyager.

Following his official tenure on the Star Trek franchise, Drexler subsequently worked as CGI VFX supervisor on Ronald D. Moore's successful Battlestar Galactica franchise, its short-lived prequel series, Caprica, and the more recent Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome (2012) direct-to-DVD movie. His tenure onthat franchise earned him no less than two "Outstanding Special Visual Effects" Emmy Awards, three additional nominations, and a 2009 VES Award (shared with close friend Gary Hutzel and Kyle Toucher).

In between, Drexler worked on productions such as Future by Design (2006), Area 57 (2007), Zeitgeist: Addendum (2008), Virtuality (2009), and Drive Angry (2011). One of Drexler's more involved engagements was his participation in the 2013 television show Adventures of Superseven, on which he not only contributed as CGI automobile modeler, but also appeared on two occasions as a recurrent guest star. Drexler's most recent employment was as a CGI supervisor for Syfy's 2013 science fiction television series Defiance, resulting in the addition of yet another 2013 VFX Emmy Award nomination (shared with Hutzel, David R. Morton, Toucher,


alumni, old and new, including his personal hero, Matt Jefferies.

Emmy Award nominations

For his work on Star Trek, Drexler has received the following Emmy Award nominations as "Makeup Artist" in the category Outstanding Achievement in Makeup for a Series:

BibliographySupporters of Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., who gathered outside of her office in Los Angeles on Thursday burned an American flag that they snatched from the back of a pickup truck.

According to the Associated Press, the group had gathered with the expectation they would be confronting a far-right group, called the Oath Keepers, after they said they would hold a rally.

When a vehicle driven by two white men approached, the counter-protesters, who had been chanting "black power" and other slogans, stopped it, opened the doors, and grabbed the flag out of the back.

The truck drove off, but the flag was stepped on and burned. One person yelled, “This is not the American flag, this is their flag," according to the AP, which posted photos of the incident.

It is disadvantageous in this machine that, on each of the driven shafts of the pivotally mounted angle drives there is disposed an additional angle drive, the tool holders being situated on the driven shafts of this second angle drive. This results in considerable additional cost, since two complete angle drives are required for each tool holder.
In a special embodiment of these known machines, only one angle drive is mounted for pivoting about the other on the transverse shaft, while the angle drives located between them are joined rigidly to the frame. In these angle drives rigidly joined to the frame, the tool holders are disposed on the driven shafts of the drives. In this manner the cost of the tool holder arrangementeons away. Time will stand still as you slow down and tune in to the life of this unique sanctuary.

What’s Llewellyn’s background?

Llewellyn Westerman was born to Nevisian parents Doris Lawrence and Aurthur Ivan Westerman on the island of Nevis – a small island that is part of the inner arc of the Leeward Islands chain of the West Indies. Together with the nearby island of St. Kitts, it forms the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis. The island is perhaps best known for being the birthplace and early childhood home of Alexander Hamilton. In fact, Llewellyn lived on the very site where Hamilton’s house had stood, and play-sailed on steps remaining from that structure.

It is in Nevis that Llewellyn first spent time on boats as a child, sailing


and fishing with his brother Inglore and their father, Aurthur. Aurthur was a boat captain and fisherman in Nevis. Llewellyn’s grandfather, Richard Westerman, was also a boat captain and sailed cargo vessels between St. Kitts and Nevis. You can learn more about his birth island at www.nevisisland.com.

Llewellyn came to St. Croix in January 1960. He lived and worked at Grapetree Bay Hotel for twenty years. At night, he performed music at the hotel. By day, he sailed guests to Buck Island. He sailed a Rhodes 19, a Pearson 28 and eventually a 36′ Dick Newick Trimaran named Trice.

In 1979 he purchased a 36′ Dick Newick Trimaran named Charis and started Llewellyn’s Charter. All these years, he has continued to embark from Teague Bay, where you’ll meet him whenjuts out from the vertex of the angle. The north side of the

finger pier faces Ekblom’s property, whereas the south side faces Padron’s

property. Padron’s immediate predecessor in interest (Buchanan) granted Ekblom

an easement relating to the finger pier, which provides in part: “The parties agree

that BUCHANAN, their heirs, successors and assigns, shall dock their boats on the

south side of the dock and EKBLOM, their heirs, successors and assigns shall dock

their boats on the north side of the dock.” (emphasis in original). In 2000, with the

previous owner’s permission, Ekblom installed a jet-ski lift on the finger pier, and

since then, Ekblom has moored a 35 to 36-foot boat on the north side of the finger

pier for over a decade without a navigational incident.

      In August 2012,


turn down this opportunity based on that fear.

The next day I found myself at his front door with a cloth grocery bag of sex toys. The crop wouldn’t quite fit in, but no one was really around outside so I wasn’t too worried about what the neighbors were seeing. As I knocked on the door, my boyfriend opened it to greet me with a kiss. He was as happy to see me as I was to see him. However, he was also in morning mode, and he was in need of his coffee. I kicked off my shoes and made myself at home on the family room couch while he went in pursuit of his heavenly nectar. He had just gotten out of the shower and was stillsome lube onto it and then ordering me to spread my legs so he could put some lube on my pussy as well. I happily complied. Now prepared for what he truly wanted to do, my boyfriend slipped his sheathed cock inside my pussy, and I wrapped my legs around his legs. Missionary is one of the worst positions for me in terms of cumming, but I still love it for the intimacy it provides while watching my lover reach his climax. My partner knew that, and he was happy to put on a show for me as he worked through the motions of reaching orgasm, thrusting and pounding inside me, moaning louder and louder as he finally released his load. When he collapsed on top of me


Kannauj: In yet another incident of attack by unruly mob on frontline workers of Coronavirus, a police team, including a chowki in-charge, was attacked in Kannauj district of Uttar Pradesh on Friday (April 3) after they tried to stop a family from offering group namaaz. The incidet took place at Kagjiyana Mohalla at Sadar Kotwali in Kannauj.

According to reports, the chowki in-charge and two other police personnel were injured in the attack and were rushed to the district hospital where they were provided medical treatment.

As per IANS reports, the attackers also damaged the motorcycle of a LIU personnel.

Following the incident, additional forces were called in and four persons were taken into custody.

Heavy police force has deployed in the area after the attack on the police team and dronesChina and Japan—will be integral.

"To maintain their market share in this region, the Chinese may have to pass on a portion of their margin to customers and also offer better financing conditions in order to remain competitive, despite punitive tariffs," said Stefan de Haan, associate director for the solar supply chain at IHS.

Chinese companies are now increasing their shipment volumes to the U.S. to build up module stocks not yet affected by tariffs, prior to the final decision in October. Such a move will allow them a buffer of a few months, noted de Haan.

"In the midterm, however, price increases appear unavoidable if antidumping duties are, in fact, implemented," de Haan added. "And in view of the importance of the U.S. market, Chinese companies are expected to ramp


up manufacturing facilities in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) zone, particularly in Mexico."

Top 10 solar module suppliers identified

Six of the top 10 solar module suppliers for the U.S. market in 2013 have their headquarters or the bulk of their manufacturing operations in China. These companies, all currently relying on solar cells from Taiwan to serve the U.S. market and sidestep the stiff fines, held a combined market share last year of 42 percent, based on total merchant shipments.

The No. 1 spot, however, belonged to U.S. thin-film manufacturer Arizona's First Solar—ahead of runner-up Yingli Green Energy, third-ranked Trina Solar and No.4 Canadian Solar. SunPower, the other leading U.S. manufacturer, was ranked fifth.

Rounding out the rest of the top 10 were SunEdison, ReneSola, Suntech, SolarWorld, and ET Solar.

Thedispute first brought by the United States against China originated with a complaint filed back in 2012 by SolarWorld, which has significant interests and operations in the U.S.

DANZIG INTERVIEW


A man who spent almost a quarter-century behind bars for murder was freed Tuesday and cleared of a killing that happened when he was 1,100 miles away on a Disney World vacation.

Jonathan Fleming was in tears as he hugged his lawyers and family in a Brooklyn courtroom. Relatives said, "Thank you God!" after he was freed.

"After 25 years, come hug your mother," she said. And he did.

Defense attorneys and prosecutors asked a Brooklyn judge to dismiss Fleming's conviction in the 1989 shooting. A key eyewitness recanted, new witnesses have implicated someone else, and a review by prosecutors turned up a hotel receipt putting Fleming in Florida hours before the killing, defense lawyers Anthony Mayol and Taylor Koss said.

"He is elated and stunned, while tempered by the fact thathe realizes that this is just the first step in getting his life back," Koss said before the hearing.

From the start, Fleming told authorities he had been in Orlando, Florida., when a friend, Darryl "Black" Rush, was shot to death in Brooklyn early on 15 August 1989. Authorities suggested the shooting was motivated by a dispute over money.

Fleming had plane tickets, videos and postcards from his trip, his lawyers said, but authorities suggested he could have been in New York at the actual time of the shooting, and a woman testified that she had seen him shoot Rush.

The eyewitness recanted her testimony soon after Fleming's 1990 conviction, saying she had lied so police would cut her loose for an unrelated arrest, but Fleming lost his appeals.

The defense asked


the DA's office to review the case last year.

Defense investigators found previously untapped witnesses who implicated someone else as the gunman, the attorneys said, declining to give the witnesses' or potential suspect's names before prosecutors investigate them.

And prosecutors' review produced a hotel receipt that Fleming paid in Florida about five hours before the shooting — a document that police had evidently had since they found in Fleming's pocket on arresting him, Mayol and Koss said.

The exoneration, first reported by the New York Daily News, come, comes amid scrutiny of Brooklyn prosecutors' process for reviewing questionable convictions — scrutiny that comes partly from the new DA Kenneth Thompson himself. He unseated longtime DA Charles "Joe" Hynes last year after a campaign that focused partly on wrongful convictions on Hynes'watch. Hynes had created a special conviction integrity unit to review false-conviction claims, but some saw the effort as slow-moving and defensive.

Thompson took office in January. In February, his office agreed to dismiss the murder convictions of two men who had spent more than 20 years in prison for three killings, saying newly discovered evidence had raised substantial doubts about their guilt.

Some of the most spectacular cities in the world have a sea- or harbour-side setting. Think of Sydney, with its breathtaking harbour; or downtown Vancouver, hemmed in by Coal Harbour and the Burrard Inlet; New York, Cape Town, San Francisco, Hong Kong, and the list goes on. The best way to really appreciate the beauty of these cities is often from the water. Most of these cities have tourist boats to take visitors on a leisurely cruise, with guides on board to point out the sights. Most of these cities also have a water transport network, an alternative way for tourists to enjoy the sights in the company of local commuters.

I’ve been on many city cruises and local ferries in cities around the world and


enjoy the wonders of Sydney Harbour. From Circular Quay, I can recommend the ferries to Manly (a popular ocean-side town) and Taronga Zoo. Both lines offer truly unforgettable vistas of the harbour and the Sydney skyline.

Sydney Harbour Bridge seen from Circular Quay

6. Hong Kong – the ‘Manhattan of Asia’ surely lives up to its name. The best way to view the stunning skyscrapers on both Hong Kong Island and Kowloon (on the mainland) is to take a ferry along Victoria Harbour. Of all the ferry services, the Star Ferry is the most famous and plies between various points along the north shore of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. An alternative is to take the ferry to the outlying Lamma or Lantau islands, or further afield, to Macao.

The HongKong Star FerryIstanbul

7. Istanbul – a cruise across the Bosphorus is an absolute must for anyone visiting this amazing city. There are many tourist cruise lines that take visitors past the gorgeous sights such as the Dolmabahçe Palace, the Golden Horn, the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosques, and the many splendorous villas and palaces that dot the Bosphorus. A cheap alternative is to take the municipal ferry from Eminonu. The ferry route offers unrivalled panoramas of the city skyline and passes various palaces (including the Dolmabahçe) and fortresses, as well as quaint villages and smart neighbourhoods as it zigzags between the European and Asian banks of the Bosphorus.

8. Yokohama – Tokyo also has a lovely harbour cruise but I prefer the Yokohama cruise. It takes visitors on a


leisurely ride under the city’s impressive Yokohama Bay Bridge and around the port, one of Japan’s busiest. It also offers fantastic views of the Yokohama skyline that includes Landmark Tower, Japan’s tallest building. On a clear day, the majestic Mount Fuji provides a spectacular backdrop.

Shanghai

9. Shanghai – Located at the mouth of the Yangtze river, Shanghai certainly has one of the most impressive skylines in the world. A great way to experience the sights and sounds of this magnificent city is the Huangpu River cruise. It takes visitors along the Bund, with its stately colonial buildings, and past the glittering skyscrapers in Pudong such as the Jin Mao Tower and the World Financial Centre. Along the way, the never-ending flow of boats that ply the river will keepHall of Famer Gale Sayers celebrates 70th birthday

Legendary Bears Hall of Fame running back Gale Sayers, one of the most electrifying players in NFL history, celebrates his 70th birthday on Thursday.

Legendary Bears Hall of Fame running back Gale Sayers, one of the most electrifying players in NFL history, celebrates his 70th birthday on Thursday.

After being selected by the Bears with the fourth overall pick in the 1965 draft, Sayers wasted little time making an impact. In a preseason game against the Rams, the "Kansas Comet" provided a sneak preview of what would follow during his spectacular but injury-shortened NFL career.

Click to view photos of Gale Sayers' legendary career with the Bears.

Sayers returned a punt 77 yards for a touchdown and brought back a kickoff 93 yards for a


score before tossing a 25-yard TD pass on a halfback option play.

Sayers came to the Bears after starring at the University of Kansas. In Sayers, the Bears were hoping that they had landed a successor to the late Willie Galimore, a star running back who had been killed in an automobile accident the previous summer at training camp.

After the draft, Kansas athletic director Wade Stinson told the Chicago Tribune that "Sayers is the best broken field runner I've ever seen. He'll show you moves you haven't seen yet."

In seven magical seasons with the Bears, the dynamic and elusive runner proved to be a threat to go the distance every time he touched the ball.

That was especially true on Dec. 12, 1965 when Sayers tied an NFL record byscoring six touchdowns in a 61-20 rout of the San Francisco 49ers.

"It was the greatest performance ever by one man on a football field," Bears coach George Halas said after the game. "I never saw such a thing in my life."

On a muddy surface at Wrigley Field, Sayers reached the end zone on runs of 50, 21, 7 and 1 yards, an 80-yard screen pass and an 85-yard punt return.

"I just wonder how many that Sayers would have scored if we hadn't set our defense to stop him," said 49ers assistant coach Y.A. Tittle.

After setting an NFL record that has since been broken with 22 touchdowns, Sayers was named Rookie of the Year, edging teammate and fellow Hall of Famer Dick Butkus.

In 1966, Sayers set Bears rushing records


for yards in a season with 1,231 and yards in a game with 197 in a 41-28 season-ending victory over the Vikings at Wrigley Field.

Sayers broke his own mark by gaining 205 yards in a 13-10 win at Green Bay on Nov. 3, 1968. But a week later, he sustained a season-ending injury to his right knee when he was tackled by 49ers defensive back Kermit Alexander.

Sayers earned Comeback Player of the Year honors in 1969 when he returned to lead the NFL in rushing with 1,032 yards for a Bears team that went 1-13.

But an injury to his left knee in 1970 ultimately ended his career.

Sayers retired as the second all-time leading rusher in Bears history behind Rick Casares with 4,956 yards and 39 touchdowns on 991carries. He has since slipped to fifth behind Walter Payton (16,726), Neal Anderson (6,166), Casares (5,675) and Matt Forte (5,327).

Sayers set 23 club records and seven NFL marks. He was selected to five Pro Bowls and was named offensive MVP in three of those all-star games.

In 1977 at the age of 34, Sayers became the youngest man ever inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. His effective playing time is also the shortest of any Hall of Famer.


Rail royalty Flying Scotsman meets modern era trains Published duration 23 April 2017

media caption Rail royalty Flying Scotsman meets modern era trains

Four trains from different eras have travelled side by side in a special event celebrating the past, present and future of Britain's railways.

The world-famous locomotive Flying Scotsman was joined by an HST and InterCity 225 from Virgin Trains' fleet, and one of its new Azuma trains.

They lined up on the East Coast Main Line at Tollerton, North Yorkshire, at 06:00 BST before travelling to York.

Hundreds of people lined the route to witness the unique event.

Paul Kirkman, director of York's National Railway Museum, whichowns the Doncaster-built Flying Scotsman, said: "The East Coast Main Line has long been famed for speed and style.

"In the 19th Century elegant locomotives were designed to haul trains on this route, cementing its reputation as a railway racing stretch operated by thoroughbred engines.

"The four-train line-up epitomises the evolution of the later generation of fast, elegant and stylish trains - all with a shared bloodline - that epitomise the history of the route from the 1850s to today."

was thereafter held before Robert R. Ross, a hearing officer for the bureau. The hearing was primarily on documents and depositions, with little oral testimony. In a thoroughly considered opinion fully analyzing the material facts and the law the hearing officer arrived at the conclusion that Mrs. Bishop had changed her domicile from *76 New Jersey to Virginia after 1933 and that the applicable estate was therefore not taxable here.
The respondent Director of the Division of Taxation rejected the hearing officer's findings and conclusions and found decedent to have died domiciled in New Jersey. He relied solely on the following facts: (a) she voted in New Jersey from time to time between 1943 and 1964; (b) she filed her federal tax returns giving New Jersey as her residence;that document.
The salient facts in this case are not in dispute with respect to the submitted evidence of the material events in the life of the decedent. The following sequence and pattern of germane activity is narrated as being fairly drawn from the evidence presented.
Inez Duff Bishop was born Inez Duff in the State of Virginia in 1875. In 1917 when she was in her early forties, Miss Duff left Virginia to attend nursing school in New York City. In the same year she met and married Arthur Bishop, a man of extensive wealth, and moved with him into his home in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Mrs. Bishop and her husband also owned and maintained a summer home in Beach Haven, New Jersey. With these two residences in


operation, the couple obviously resided and were domiciled in the State of New Jersey from the time of her marriage until Arthur Bishop died in 1933. He was buried in New Brunswick. As herein before indicated, Mr. Bishop left his widow a considerable dollar amount of assets.
The New Brunswick home that the decedent and her husband had occupied apparently reverted to Mr. Bishop's first wife upon his *77 demise. To fulfill what she considered was her husband's desire, Inez Duff Bishop subsequently purchased the house from her deceased husband's first wife and donated it to the Elks, one of the deceased Mr. Bishop's favorite lifetime interests. Mrs. Bishop sold the other home that she and her husband had formerly occupied in Beach Haven, New Jersey but contemporaneously apparentlybuilt another home in Beach Haven, New Jersey a few doors away from their former home. This newly built Beach Haven home was a two story residence with central heating and other then modern facilities.
Inez Duff Bishop continued to spend a few months of the summer season annually in Beach Haven, New Jersey until a year or possibly two before her death when she had apparently become too ill to travel from Virginia to New Jersey. In 1933 Mrs. Bishop had purchased a home in Charlottesville, Virginia where she appears to have spent at least sixty percent of her time annually. However, in 1943 Inez Duff Bishop had registered to vote in New Jersey and she last voted in New Jersey, by absentee ballot, two years before her


death. Mrs. Bishop, after her husband's death, seems to have placed her financial affairs in the trust of her brother, Ernest Duff, who resided in Charlottesville, Virginia. It is conceded that she maintained a residence (at least in the lay sense) in Charlottesville, Virginia until her death. Her brother took over her business affairs and had legal power of attorney over her affairs for several years prior to her death.
There is some evidence that Mrs. Bishop was a somewhat strong willed, active person when she was physically healthy and that she did play some part in the decision making processes. Mr. Duff, the brother, filed the decedent's income tax returns as attorney-in-fact. Her federal income tax returns were filed with a listing of the Beach Haven, New Jerseyhome as her address. Albeit, the State of Virginia during the years involved imposed an income tax on Virginia domiciliaries, no Virginia income tax returns were ever filed by the decedent. The evidence reveals that on one occasion Mrs. Bishop's accountant prepared the federal income tax return 1040 listing the Charlottesville, Virginia address as the legal residence. Mr. Duff rejected these returns, refused to execute them and ordered the accountant to redraft the returns with a listing of the Beach Haven, New Jersey address.[*] The interesting rationale behind this event and the attitude established can be found in the deposition of Emma Ruth Duff, the wife of Ernest Duff (now deceased), sister-in-law of the decedent. On Page 7, the following sequence appears:
Q Is Beach Haven a summer type


every year in Charlottesville, Virginia, a few summer months in Beach Haven, New Jersey and then also found time to spend the cold months of the winter at a home she had acquired in Florida. This latter home was disposed of a few years prior to her demise.
Considerable testimony was presented with respect to the character of the furnishings in the two residences with an attempt made by the estate to indicate a sparce, "ratty" type of furnishing for the Beach Haven home and a somewhat superior character of the furnishings in the Charlottesville home. There is an indication that Mrs. Bishop was not furniture conscious and that her furnishings generally were far less desirable than what her financial status would have allowed in all three of herhomes. There seems to be very little doubt as to Mrs. Bishop's concentration of her financial interests in the Charlottesville, Virginia area. She invested heavily in a Charlottesville Bank, the Citizens Bank & Trust Company. At the time of her death she was the largest stockholder in this Bank with an investment valued at about $270,000. There seems to be very little question that she relied heavily on her brother who lived next door in Charlottesville. She appeared to have given Ernest R. Duff almost complete control of her finances.
An objective analysis of the presented facts which bear on the issue of domicile leads one to the proposition that after her husband's death, Inez Duff Bishop shifted her financial/social headquarters and daily living center to the Charlottesville, Virginia


weigh the issue of domicile, based on actual time spent in a given state with respect to day to day living activities, there appears to be very little to dispute a conclusion that time spent arithmetically calculated, would clearly demonstrate that most of her time in her later years was spent in the Charlottesville area and in that home. Her will beneficiaries were mainly in that locale. The overwhelming quantum of hub facts in her last 33 years of life appear to be in that Virginia area.
The foregoing findings concerning the tax avoidance factor gain added illumination from the testimony on depositions of the Charlottesville accountant who prepared decedent's federal tax returns from 1939 on (in 1934 and 1935 the returns gave a Charlottesville address). He never mether death. The Beach Haven residence had been only a summer home (in an ocean resort community) when decedent was married and lived in New Brunswick, and it remained such after her husband died and she moved to Virginia. The State's case for refutation of the prima facie showing made by the estate rests on the bare facts of voting in and paying federal income taxes from the New Jersey address. But there is direct and cogent proof supporting the inference that these acts were deliberate tactics to lay a basis for avoidance of the Virginia state income tax. The hearing officer so found, and the respondent did not overrule that express finding.
We may observe, moreover, that even if the tax motive thus indicated were not supportable, the


overwhelming proportion of the indicia as to what the decedent regarded as her real, principal and permanent home after 1933 as well as the central fulcrum of her life must here be found to converge in and around the Charlottesville locale. There she lived most of the time; there were all her relatives and friends; there were her physician, her lawyer and her brother, who was also her closest relative and business advisor; there was her principal investment and commercial interest (the bank); there were her main place of worship, objects of charitable beneficence and her community interests; and there she died and was buried nearby, proclaiming herself in her 1963 will as "now of Charlottesville."
The only tenable holding on this record is that Mrs. Bishop died domiciledreviewing role by which we should abide. Undue weight is accorded the examiner's conclusions, particularly since of the five witnesses who testified, he heard only one whose testimony was perfunctory. In addition, a substantial part of the record relied upon by the examiner, admitted into evidence over the State's objection was not competent. The Director of the Division could and did reasonably reach different conclusions on the basis of this record.
The majority is ambivalent on the proper scope of judicial review. It holds that a trial type hearing had not been held by the Division of Taxation.[1] Yet, the record clearly demonstrates that it had. The testimony of Emma Duff, William Trevillian, Richard Hantzman and Jane Shields had been taken in August 1970.[2] The executors of the estate


return filed throughout the years that her legal residence was in Beach Haven; and she had never filed any Virginia income tax returns.
The Appellate Division properly analyzed the record and ascertained that a reasonable person might have reached the Director's decision on the basis of the substantial competent evidence which supported his findings. While an extended factual description need not be repeated, a brief summary demonstrates the point. Mrs. Bishop and her husband had lived in New Brunswick, New Jersey for 16 years until his death in 1933. They also had a summer home in Beach Haven which she sold on her husband's death. She replaced both homes with a new two-story residence with central heating which she had constructed in Beach Haven. She also established homes inVirginia and Florida. Exactly what part of each year she resided at her New Jersey, Virginia and Florida homes is not clear. There was testimony that she resided annually in Beach Haven from June 1 usually to mid-October. Her voting record discloses that in the November general elections of 1944, 1945, 1948, 1950 and 1956 she voted in person in Beach Haven. She may well have remained in Beach Haven in those years until November. After leaving Beach Haven she would go to Charlottesville, Virginia for a short stay until sometime in December when she would depart for her Florida home where she remained until March. She would then return to Charlottesville for about two and a half months before traveling to Beach Haven. In addition to voting


in New Jersey, she filed federal income tax returns in which New Jersey was listed as her legal residence. She never filed Virginia income tax returns or paid Virginia income taxes. She always maintained a bank account *87 in Beach Haven and supported a local Methodist Church and some local charities.
The presumption arises from the existence of her permanent New Jersey residency that this State remained her domicile until another was acquired and the New Jersey domicile abandoned. Cromwell v. Neeld, 15 N.J. Super. 296, 300 (App. Div. 1951). Coupled with this presumption, construction of an all year round home in Beach Haven, the continued residence in New Jersey for a substantial period of time each year, the maintenance of a New Jersey bank account, the filing ofUpon receipt of the lab report, Robertson issued a fire investigation report concluding that "[a]ll of the indicators found in the investigation of the fire, point to the use of flammable accelerants to intensify the fire in the dwelling and to cause its destruction."
[¶ 4.] After issuance of Robertson's report, Milbank hired Dennis Olson, a private *176 investigator, to conduct interviews. On April 21, 1997, Olson interviewed Jeff Keller, Delano DuMarce and certain fire personnel. Olson tape recorded the interview with DuMarce. During the interview, DuMarce repeatedly denied any involvement in the fire, but eventually, after veiled threats of impending incarceration, promises of leniency for the "truth," and statements making it clear what Olson proposed the "truth" to be, DuMarce stated that he started the fire. DuMarce said
