George W. English


United States federal judge



George W. English, during his impeachment hearings


George Washington English Sr. (May 9, 1866 – July 19, 1941) was a United States federal judge.


Born near Vienna, Illinois, English received an LL.B. from Illinois Wesleyan University in 1891. He was chief deputy sheriff of Johnson County, Illinois from 1891 to 1892. He engaged in the private practice of law in Vienna, Illinois from 1893–1912, and in Centralia, Illinois until 1914. During this period, he married, and his son, George Washington English, Jr. was born in 1898. He was city attorney of Vienna for a time while practicing there, and he served in the Illinois House of Representatives from 1907 to 1912. He was a special income tax attorney with the U.S. Treasury Department from 1914 to 1918.


On April 22, 1918, English was nominated by President Woodrow Wilson to a seat on the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Illinois vacated by Francis M. Wright. English was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on May 3, 1918, and received his commission on the same day.


He was impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives in 1926 for abusive treatment of lawyers and litigants appearing before him. He resigned from office on November 4, 1926, before his trial began where upon the U.S. Senate ended its investigation.[1]


John T. Rogers of St. Louis Post-Dispatch won the 1927 Pulitzer Prize for Reporting with his coverage of the inquiry leading to English's impeachment.


Following his departure from the Illinois court, English moved to South Florida, where his son, also a lawyer, had begun his law career with the firm that became Hall, Johnson & English. At the time, Fort Lauderdale, Florida was trying to recover from a devastating 1926 hurricane. The former judge assisted his son for 14 years until his death in Fort Lauderdale on July 19, 1941. He was buried at Evergreen Cemetery in Fort Lauderdale.

I have an remote sensed image which has 6 bands (including NDVI band), I want to display each band separately, but have no idea how to do. I have seen some questions similar here but none worked for me. The original image (has 6 bands) is: I want to display the band 6 which should be like this: But I tried gdal_translate, and couldn't get the correct result.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
