The Potential Passage of Proposed Senate Bill 147 and Its Implication on Native Hawaiians and Gaming
Does Washington Law Require Testator to Sign His Will in Presence of Attesting Witness?
It will be observed that while the statute does not, in terms, require testator to sign in the presence of the attesting witness, it does not mention acknowledgment as a mode of execution. What does attestation mean? Webster says that the subscription of a name to a writing as a witness is an attestation
Spatial relationship between GPS slip and seismic tremor during Cascadia slow slip events
We model GPS deformation and timing of seismic tremor associated with transient deformation in Cascadia to test the hypothesis that tremor and slip occur synchronously but are spatially offset. For the period 2010β2013, we use seismic tremor data with a duration-moment relationship to predict GPS time series and compare them to observations. We find that observed GPS displacements are best predicted when tremor locations on the plate interface are shifted 15 km up-dip of their published epicenter. To test whether the spatial offset of tremor and slip is due to systematic mislocation of published epicenters, we attempt to identify individual sources of tremor using Independent Component Analysis. However, our results are inconclusive. Additionally, our results suggest a moment rate lower than previous studies. We propose that increases in instrumentation have resulted in an increase in recorded tremor giving the appearance of a decrease in moment rate
