Prejudicial Reliance Upon a Trial Court\u27s Ruling May Result in Suspension of Federal Rules on Timeliness of Appeals-\u3cem\u3eThompson v. Immigration & Naturalization Serv.; Wolfsohn v. Hankin\u3c/em\u3e

In Thompson v. Immigration & Naturalization Serv., twelve days after the federal district court had entered an order denying a petition for naturalization, petitioner announced his intention of making motions for a new trial and amended findings of fact. Although the motions must be filed within ten days of the entry of judgment, the judge assured petitioner they were made in ample time, and no objection was raised by the Government. Six months later the motions were denied. Within sixty days of this denial, but not within sixty days of the original judgment, petitioner filed a notice of appeal. The court of appeals dismissed for lack of jurisdiction since the period for taking an appeal, as measured from the order denying naturalization, had elapsed and had not been tolled by a timely post-trial motion under rule 73(a)

La figure paradoxale des adolescents dans Amos Daragon de Bryan Perro : entre humanité et divinité

Amos Daragon est une œuvre de fantasy jeunesse québécoise relatant les aventures d'Amos, Béorf, Lolya et Médousa. Ces derniers ont pour mission de rétablir l'équilibre entre le bien et le mal en éliminant les dieux qui perturbent l'harmonie sur la Terre avec les guerres qu'ils se livrent par l'intermédiaire des mortels. Notre étude s'intéresse principalement à ces personnages, qui acquièrent, au fil de leurs aventures, de nombreux attributs extraordinaires les rapprochant des dieux. Il semble que les protagonistes soient des êtres complexes qui possèdent des caractéristiques contradictoires. Notre mémoire cherche à prouver que la nature de ces personnages est incertaine, puisque d'un côté ils ressemblent aux dieux, alors que de l'autre, ils se rapprochent davantage des humains. Alors que cette dualité laisse présager l'échec de la mission des quatre amis, notre recherche montre qu'elle est plutôt essentielle à sa réussite. L'approche narrative que nous proposons avec cette analyse montre que si le cycle de Bryan Perro recourt aux règles de la fantasy, c'est pour amener son jeune lecteur à faire face aux paradoxes et aux contradictions de la vie sociale et personnelle

Bayesian stock assessment of Pacific herring in Prince William Sound, Alaska - Fig 5

<p>Model estimates and the four time series of abundance estimates (1980–2012): (A) mile-days of milt, (B) egg deposition surveys, (C) ADF&G hydroacoustic estimates, and (D) PWSSC hydroacoustic estimates. The solid circles and lines represent the mean and 95% confidence intervals of the data (plus additional variance estimated by the model); the shaded polygons represent the respective posterior predictive intervals (light gray = 95% interval, darker gray = 50% interval, black = 5% interval).</p

Results from the sensitivity analysis using the fixed value of 0.35 yr-1 for background natural mortality.

Results from five retrospective “peels” compared to the posterior intervals (light gray = 95% interval, darker gray = 50% interval, black = 5% interval) of pre-fishery run biomass from the Bayesian model fit to the entire time series of data.

<p>Each “peel” is the posterior median of the model run with an additional year of data removed and is labeled numerically where a higher number denotes a peel of data further into the past.</p

The four types of annual catch data, in thousands of metric tons, for Prince William Sound herring used in the Bayesian age-structured assessment model.

<p>Data for the three fisheries in the top panels are in the form of numbers of catch-at-age, so these were converted to annual total yield in mt using the weight-at-age (mt) data (1.7) for ease of display. Absent bars denote years that fishery did not run; all herring fisheries have been closed since 1999.</p
