6 AnswersOlympics1 decade agoFederal subject matter jurisdiction question
P (a city) has a rule that only residents of a particular neighborhood can be in its parks between 4:00 and sunset. P sues D (a non-resident individual) in state court for being in the park during those hours requesting statutory civil fines. D answers that the policy amounts to an equal protection violation (under the 14th amendment) and a violation of the public trust doctrine. D counterclaims a civil rights violation under color of law and requests declarative and injunctive relief under 42 USC 1983. D then removes to the applicable federal district court.
Is this removal proper or is it precluded by the well pleaded complaint rule since the complaint raised no federal question? Is there something else I'm missing entirely?

That is, if I have one fairly complex view and I need to add a second that relies on the first, is it better to reference one view in the other?
e.g.
CREATE VIEW v1 AS ...
CREATE VIEW v2 AS SELECT ... FROM v1
Or is it better to redefine v1 as a subquery in v2?

1 AnswerMagazines1 decade agoWhat does "$16/700 sq. ft." mean when trying to rent office space?
It's clearly not $16/mo, but $16/mo/sq. ft. = $11,200 / mo seems a bit steep for a room that can fit a desk or two. Is that the annual rent?

I know this should be simple but I just can't think of it. I need something that is as simple to evaluate as possible (for a real time system). Should be continuously differentiable and monotonically increasing.
BTW, please do NOT tell me where to look. I want an answer not a "uh, you could try google."
Thanks

2 AnswersMathematics1 decade agoOh what to do to die today at a minute or two 'til two source?
I am looking for the ORIGINAL source to the following passage
Oh what to do to die today at a minute or two 'til two
A thing distinctly hard to say yet harder still to do

With a rattatta tattatta tattatta too
And the dragon will come when he hears the drum
At a minute or two 'til two today
At a minute or two 'til two.
Thanks
