As the postal officer had not been supplied with 3 Pfennig Germania stamp s, he bisect ed his 5 Pfennig stamps Michel nummer 55 of the series and stamped them by hand with a 3 PF mark. Mail with the Vineta provisional stamp was sent from Pernambuco to Germany on April 17, 1901. Only 600 stamps were issued making the provisional one of the rarer stamps in German philately . Controversy The stamp gained notoriety because it had been catalogued by the Michel catalogue as a regular stamp and given the number 67. Collectors who aspired to put together a complete collection of issues of the Reichspost had an interest in acquiring this stamp. However, because philatelists generally considered the stamp a self made variety, not an official issue by the Reichspost, the 67 assignment was heavily criticised and eventually withdrawn. ref cite web url http www.klassische philatelie.ch pp dr dr vineta.html author Ozdoba, C title Das Vineta Provisorium ein philatelistisches rgernis language German accessdate 2008 11 26 ref As a result prices for this stamp have declined.

The story of Ballot Result starts with the Tour Spiel EP in 1984. Minutemen had been given a copy of a tape of a live radio performance for the Virgin Vinyl Show they had done in Tucson, Arizona, four songs of which they used for the EP. The recording engineer engineer of that particular session later claimed that Minutemen had not got his permission to use the recording and reacted by releasing a bootleg album, ...Just a Minute Men . The sudden existence of the bootleg album, which the engineer blatantly promoted through magazines like Spin magazine Spin and Flipside magazine Flipside , upset Minutemen enough that the group decided to do an anti bootleg album, 3 Dudes 6 Sides 3 Studio 3 Live . The group printed ballots which they passed out to fans during their summer and fall 1985 performances as well as planned to insert into the first pressing of their next studio album, 3 Way Tie For Last the ballots would determine which songs the band would record for the live portion of the album.

Expert subject Law date February 2009 Judicial remedies The purpose of a provisional remedy is the preservation of the status quo until final disposition of a matter can occur. Under United States law , Federal Rules of Civil Procedure FRCP 64 provides with several types of seizure e.g. garnishment , replevin , Attachment law attachment that a Federal Court may use pursuant to state law. FRCP 65 concerns Temporary Restraining Order may be made ex parte and preliminary injunction requires some hearing . In order to establish the constitutionality of a provisional remedy, two cases must be distinguished. The 3 part test established in Matthews determines whether a prejudgment remedy meets the constitutional requirements when Government seeks deprivation on its own initiative. The court must take into consideration the private interest of the party against whom the remedy is sought, the risk of erroneous deprivation as well as the probable value, if any, of addition or substitute safeguards and, the moving party s interest. The 3 part test established in Connecticut v. Doehr determines whether a prejudgment remedy meets the constitutional requirements when Government action is applied to a suit between private parties. The due process analysis involves the same requirements as set forth in Matthews. The court must also take into account whether there are exigent circumstances, a bond requirement, a judicial assessment, a detailed statement of factual basis, and a prompt post seizure hearing.

It lies just to the northwest of the small lunar mare named Lacus Luxuriae , and southeast of the crater Freundlich crater Freundlich . Other nearby craters of note are Anderson crater Anderson to the southwest and Dante crater Dante to the northeast. This formation has a distinctive shape for a crater, having a prominent extension to the south that nearly doubles the dimension compared to the width across the maximum west east cross section. It vaguely resembles a pear, with the thinner end to the south and the bulge to the north.
