How Do Technicians Determine The Cause Of A Fire?
I was a fire investigator for 6 years. We go about finding what started a fire by A) looking at burn patterns and B) interviewing the people that were there if possible.
If the whole house has not burned down, I look for the that has the most burn damage.
In a urban area where the fire department is pretty responsive, you may only get smoke damage in most of the house.
This rules out the rest of the house from starting the fire. Let’s say the most burnt area is near the kitchen. You start asking yourself what can start a fire in that area.

Lieutenant Commander Woody Lee stands on Red Square with the “nuclear football” attached to his wrist with a leather strap to prevent it from being seized or lost during US President Ronald Reagan’s visit to Moscow with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in May 1988
There are four things in the Football. The Black Book containing the retaliatory options, a book listing classified site locations, a manila folder with eight or ten pages stapled together giving a description of procedures for the Emergency Broadcast System, and a three-by-five-inch [7.5 × 13 cm] card with authentication codes. The Black Book was about 9 by 12 inches [23 × 30 cm] and had 75 loose-leaf pages printed in black and red. The book with classified site locations was about the same size as the Black Book, and was black. It contained information on sites around the country where the president could be taken in an emergency.

Questions And Answers From The Godfather Series
How did Michael rationalize the decision to kill Fredo?
Michael rationalizes the decision. His reasons:
- Fredo was involved in a plot to kill him. The recklessness of Fredo’s choice put Michael’s wife and children at risk. Kay and the children were the only people Michael could never harm. Tom Hagen tells this to Kay in the novel.
- Fredo claimed he didn’t know it was a hit. That meant that Fredo was too stupid to see that Johnny Ola would never have approached him if it were anything less than a hit. Johnny promised Fredo that he would have power. Such a thing could only happen if Michael were eliminated as Michael deliberately avoided giving Fredo any power. So Fredo truly didn’t understand the enemies of the Corleone Family or he was tacitly allied with them because Fredo was only thinking of himself and getting passed over by the Don. He wasn’t putting the needs of the family first, but his bruised ego and sense of injustice.

Picture of The Day
Bass Reeves (1838—1910) was the first Black U.S. Marshall, west of the Mississippi River. He arrested nearly 3,000 outlaws in his career.
Before becoming a legendary lawman of the Wild West, Reeves was an enslaved man born in Arkansas. When the Civil War broke out, he was forced to fight for the Confederacy, but escaped to Indian Territory (modern day Oklahoma). Reeves quickly adapted to his new environment, learning the customs and languages of the Seminole and Creek people.
After the war, Reeves returned to Arkansas as a free man. He settled down, got married and had 11 children. However, his quiet family life came to an end when he was recruited to reign in the growing number of outlaws.
