The United Cardinals Bloggers' March assignment is for each blogger to post their predictions for 2013. Yesterday, I made my predictions for the American League. Over the next three days, I will take a look at each division in the National League and make my predictions.
1. Nationals – The Nats were the beast of the East last year, and they should finish in first place again this year. They will learn from their mistakes in the playoffs. Hopefully, ace Stephen Strasburg will be able to pitch more than his "pre-determined" innings limit.
2. Braves – The Braves made some nice moves this offseason by upgrading their outfield with B.J. Upton, Jason Heyward and Justin Upton. The new look outfield and the strong pitching will make them contenders, but nothing will stop the Nats.
3. Phillies – This year will not be kind to the Phillies. Roy Halladay needs to have a good season and with the exception of Cole Hamels and Ryan Howard, the players are getting old.
4. Mets – The Mets are still paying Johan Santana's salary, which will limit them in getting good players. They also lost Carlos Beltran, Jose Reyes and R.A. Dickey, and they are now in rebuilding mode.
5. Marlins – The trade of most of their good players to the Blue Jays will surely hurt the Marlins. They are in a rebuilding mode. A large stadium with few fans attending games will not help morale.
I hope you've enjoyed reading my predictions. Wish I could predict the winning lottery numbers! Thanks for reading – see you next time!

Friedrich Hoffmann
Friedrich Hoffmann (February 19, 1660 – November 12, 1742) was a German physician and chemist.
Life and career
His family had been connected with medicine for 200 years before him. Born in Halle, he attended the local gymnasium where he acquired that taste for and skill in mathematics to which he attributed much of his later success. Beginning at age 18, he studied medicine at the University of Jena. From there, in 1680, he went to Erfurt, in order to attend Kasper Cramer's lectures on chemistry. Next year, returning to Jena, he received his doctor's diploma, and, after publishing a thesis, was permitted to teach. Constant study then began to tell on his health, and in 1682, leaving his already numerous pupils, he opened a practice in Minden at the request of a relative who held a high position in that town. After practising at Minden for two years, Hoffmann made a journey to Holland and England, where he formed the acquaintance of many illustrious chemists and physicians. Towards the end of 1684, he returned to Minden, and during the next three years he received many flattering appointments. In 1688 he moved to the more promising sphere of Halberstadt, with the title of physician to the principality of Halberstadt.
In 1693, shortly after the establishment of the University of Halle, he was appointed primary professor of medicine and natural philosophy. During his career there, he held the position of rector three times. With the exception of four years (1708–1712), which he passed at Berlin in the capacity of royal physician, Hoffmann spent the rest of his life at Halle in instruction, practice and study, interrupted now and again by visits to different courts of Germany, where his services procured him honours and rewards.[1] His fame became European. He was enrolled a member of many learned societies in different foreign countries (including being elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1720),[2] while in his own he became privy councillor.
Hoffmann died on November 12, 1742 in Halle.
Of his numerous writings a catalogue is to be found in Haller's Bibliotheca medicinae practicae. The chief is Medicina rationalis systematica, undertaken at the age of sixty, and published in 1730. It was translated into French in 1739, under the title of Médecine raisonnée d'Hoffmann. A complete edition of Hoffmann's works, with a life of the author, was published at Geneva in 1740, to which supplements were added in 1753 and 1760. Editions appeared also at Venice in 1745 and at Naples in 1753 and 1793.
He wrote a witchcraft book, De Potentia Diaboli in Corpore, for his student Gottfried Büching.[citation needed]

Car insurance is a cost that seems to be so overwhelmingly expensive, but it's also something that's imperative to have in order to keep you protected in the event of an accident whereby you need to make a claim.
The cost of car insurance is so expensive for a few reasons, but mainly because the cost of claims is high; meaning that car insurance companies need to ensure they can pay out for any claims made.
The list below shows various reasons as to why car insurance is so expensive.
What you need to know – why is car insurance so expensive?
Car insurance only seems to be increasing in price, much to the dismay of many drivers, but you may be wondering why is car insurance so expensive?
This list shows you exactly why car insurance is so expensive, and why you're required to pay such high premiums, simply to keep you protected in the event of an accident or incident on the road.
The cost of fraud
The cost of fraud is one of the main factors in why car insurance is so expensive. If a driver makes a claim that is false (e.g. they make a claim for an injury as a result of an accident that wasn't as severe as they claimed) then the overall cost of insurance prices will go up.
While this may seem unfair, it's estimated that over 125,000 cases of claims in 2016 were fraudulent; meaning that it's not just a handful of people who are responsible for driving up the cost of car insurance.
Furthermore, fraudulent claims in the form of whiplash claims are also responsible for car insurance being so expensive.
It's thought that claims of this type cost the car insurance industry around £2 billion each year; which in turn causes the price of car insurance premiums to rise by about £90 each year according to large and local insurance brokers
From a personal perspective, there isn't really anything anyone can do to prevent this from happening; there are fraud detector bodies in place to try and put and stop to it and if you yourself don't make any false claims, hopefully these types of issues can be resolved as soon as possible.
The insured pay for the uninsured
Unfortunately, it's not only the fraudulent claims that cause car insurance to be so expensive; uninsured drivers are also to blame.
It's estimated that there are around 1 million uninsured drivers on the roads in the UK, and these uninsured drivers cost you an average extra £30 on top of your car insurance premium each year.
This is because despite not paying the premiums themselves, car insurance companies must still pay out for claims made by another person who was involved in an accident with an uninsured driver.
Insurance for young and new drivers
Another reason that car insurance is so expensive, particularly for young and new drivers, is because they are deemed to be more at risk as they have very little experience driving on the roads.
Young drivers are thought to pay around double the cost of more experienced drivers' premiums; often costing them well into the thousands.
The area where you live
This might seem like a very strange factor to be affecting the cost of car insurance, but it's one that plays a significant part in the cost of your insurance.
Insurance premiums in cities that are thought to be more at risk to theft and vandalism are likely to be higher than those in 'safer' cities.
While it seems like an unfair way to determine the price of your car insurance, when it comes to insurance premiums and policies, the price is always factored on risk. Therefore, if you reside in a place that has more crime, especially within the car industry, then you can expect to pay more for your car insurance. To know more about your current insurance premiums you can consider M&S Car Insurance or if you have more than one car to insure consider premiums offered from Admiral Multicar Insurance.
Conclusion – why is car insurance so expensive?
As you can see, car insurance is expensive for a whole manner of reasons. Whether it's due to uninsured drivers not paying for their premiums, fraudulent claims causing the price to rise, or whether it's simply because you live in an area that's deemed as more at risk, the cost of car insurance certainly isn't cheap.
While you may begrudge paying such high premiums for your car insurance policy, it's imperative that you do pay, as without a proper policy, you won't be able to make a claim if you suffer from an incident or accident while driving.

Chapter 15
Cary hovered over the tablet, his hand shaking above it. The screen displayed the front page of Pottermore. But something was off... Gently, Cary extended his index finger to the tablet. When it touched the screen a bright flash of light exploded, causing Cary to jerk his hand back. When his vision cleared his eyes went straight to the tablet. Pottermore was still there, but rather than the standard welcome page, was the image of a book. Written on the cover with lightning bolts forming the stem of the "b" and the "f" was the phrase The Book of Fates. Cary took a deep, strong breath.
What is going on? Have I really lost it now? This can't be real. Maybe it's just some new thing JK has put on the website and Clearing found it?
As if in response to his thoughts a little bubble popped up next to the Book. It read "Touch here to read the Book of Fates!" Cary cast a glance behind him, nervous. He licked his lips. Then, slowly, he pressed his index finger on the bubble. The cover slashed open. Pages whirred by and a stream of light flooded up from it, so bright Cary's arms whipped back up to his head to block it. He yelped and stumbled backwards, hitting his butt hard on the floor, only slightly muffled by the carpeting. Footsteps shook the floor as Clearing came rushing in from the other room. Cary was halfway to his feet when the teacher hovered up.
"Cary? What is going on? What happened?" Clearing asked solicitously, bending over as much as his belly allowed. He helped Cary get the rest of the way to his feet. "Are you alright?"
"I. Um. Yes." Cary said, as he strained to keep his eyes off the tablet. For the briefest moment he thought Clearing's eyes drifted in that direction, but he could not be certain. Once Cary was back on his feet, Clearing grabbed his shoulders lightly. "Try not to hurt yourself, Carver."
Clearing rambled back out of the room.
Cary moved hesitantly towards the desk again, and the tablet. He was alright, though his butt hurt from the fall, but his mind was clear - fixated on the tablet, on the Book of Fates.
Is it some new Harry Potter novel? Or stories or something? Hadn't Clearing said Pottermore had new Harry Potter stories on it? Maybe this is all some silly fantasy in my head...
Even as he had these thoughts, Cary put his finger back on the tablet, which flared to life. It had stopped flipping itself and no longer shone with too-bright light. Cary started to call Clearing, tell him what he had seen but stopped.
Clearing will think I'm crazy. He won't believe me and he definitely won't let him come over or see the Book again. Not to mention the computers they were building.
No, Cary realized, I can't tell Clearing what I saw, not and the risk of losing the his kindness.
And still resonating through Cary's mind was his fervent wish, words rumbling across his brain.
"I want a REAL friend."
Those words caromed off the edges insides his head, crashed into one another and amplified until they drowned out nearly every other thought. He was consumed by the wish he didn't hear Clearing return until the man shook him gently.
"Really, Cary? Are you OK?"
Cary sucked in a huge, first breath, jerked his hand away from the tablet. Came back to the moment. "Um. Yeah, sorry. I just fell over."
Clearing looked suspiciously from the tablet to Cary and back again. "Fell over, huh. How did that happen?" Clearing asked, leaned over and saw what was on the tablet. "Pottermore again? There's all kinds of new stuff on there I hear. You're a big Harry Potter fan, right?"
"And I'm guessing you don't have access to the Net at your home?"
"Well. Feel free to use the tablet for a bit, OK? If you PROMISE to take care of it? It very...expensive." Clearing said, though it had sounded for a moment as if he would say something else aside from "expensive", but Cary could not parse what the word might have been.
"OK then, well, I'll come back and check on you shortly." Clearing said, then he left.
Well at least the tablet isn't a figment of my imagination! Clearing definitely saw it!
Cary pulled the small chair up to the desk and leaned in over the tablet, his face inches above it. He had read magazines left behind at school about tablets, iPads and what not. Though he had never used one before this one. He found it intuitive enough. The tablet did not flash when Cary touched it this time, though Cary had silently wished it would not. Pottermore came up, just like before. And there it was, still, The Book Of Fates.
Cary pushed his finger against the screen and swiped it left. The Book's cover flapped open. Pottermore disappeared, the Book took up the whole of the tablet's screen.
"Cool!" Cary said.
But as he swiped through the first pages frustration mounted. Nothing but strange symbols, none of which he could read. Growing annoyed he swiped faster, harder, until pages flickered by. More and more unreadable symbols. Eventually, Cary was too bothered and wished the Book weren't there. I'd rather be looking at Pottermore.
He swiped right and the Book dwindled. There was Pottermore again. No idea what he was looking for, Cary clicked around the site, got sorted into Slytherin and assigned a screenname – IcarusDraconis1007.
"No way." Cary said, but he did not stop surfing, to wonder. He tried to brew a potion, Cure For Boils, failed at it and gave up. He went to Diagon Alley several times. Bought a wand and an cat. He lost several duels in the Dueling Club. Cary was just about to try and go to the Forbidden Forest when a shadow crested over him from behind and he yelped..
"Well that's enough of THAT for today, don't you think?" Clearing mumbled. Cary took a relieved breath and stared at the carpet.
"I didn't scare you did I? Sorry about that. Come on then, Cary, let's get some work done, OK? Pottermore will be here next time, it's not going anywhere." Cary looked up and saw Clearing's face had the strangest expression, it was almost greedy. The teacher licked his lips, then smiled, though it felt forced to Cary. "Do you think you can focus enough....?" Clearing asked. Cary wondered if the teacher was being mean, but he smiled, so Cary assumed not. He nodded up at Clearing. The pleasant warmth Cary had felt when he first started using the tablet had slowed and seeped out of him, from a spot just under his heart, like there was a fan there blowing the warmth towards the device. Cary sighed as the last of it flowed out, as Clearing stepped between Cary and the tablet. The connection was severed, Cary sighed, which brought another look from Clearing, indecipherable, they didn't speak again as Clearing led Cary back to the workroom and the repair bench. They worked in relative silence for the rest of the afternoon, Cary's hands mostly acted on their own, his mind constantly went back to the tablet, to the strange Book of Fates and to Cary's sincere wish. Would it come true? And what about the Book flipping itself? And those lights? The strange symbols? What did it all mean?
At one point the nasty voice in Cary's head came up.
It means you're crazysauce, is what it means! the voice said. Cary pushed it away. Much like the night before when he had read the Book the first time, when the symbols had somehow become legible, his mind was strangely clear, not crowded with a thousand conflicting, all but uncontrollable thoughts.
Maybe that's it? Maybe I just have to focus harder?
His mind drifted back to the Book and it sucked the air out of his usual, uncontrollable thoughts. However, he did think of other things, eventually. Like the fact Clearing didn't really need his help to build these computers. The man had clearly just been trying to be kind and find a way to give Cary something to make Cary happy. Cary did appreciate it, even if he didn't know how to say it properly, or show it.
An alternately warm feeling, this one not so good, of pure guilt rushed through Cary.
I sneaked into his house. Lied to his face. Rifled through the Book without permission.
That was no way to treat someone who had been as nice as Clearing had been. Cary could not imagine telling the teacher the truth, not and risk losing the brief kindness the teacher had shown him.
Or the Book. Or the computer. Or offering to let me use his tablet whenever I want!
Cary focused on the task at hand. He was learning, his mind able to focus, he absorbed everything Clearing said and taught him about building a computer, about the parts which went into it, what it each did and why. The day had slipped into dusk when Clearing leaned back, stretched his arms out wide and yawned. "Well, that's gonna be it for today, Cary. You should get on home before your family gets worried!" Clearing said.
Cary wanted to scoff.
Bird or Lana worry about me?
Either of them being worried about him was laughable. They could be angry at me or worried I would steal something, break or lose their things, burn their house down but worry? Never, not about my well being. Cary was sure of that, but couldn't and wouldn't tell Clearing any of that. The man wouldn't want to be friends anymore if he knew, Cary was sure of it. Just like he won't want to be friends with you when he realizes you're batshit crazy? Seeing Books that aren't real on Pottermore? Just like Jonathan....
"OK." Cary said, yet again shoving the nasty voice aside. Clearing yawned and hustled Cary out of the house, wished him a pleasant evening before he shut the door behind him. Cary stood staring for a moment until a deadbolt clicked. Cary sighed and turned towards home.

"Megan Leavey" is this summer's feel-good war dog movie. In a summer full of super heroes, we have here a real hero. And heroine. The movie is "'based on a true story" about a Marine Corporal and her Military Police K9 dog. It was directed by Gabrilla Cowperthwaite. It took four screenwriters to finish the script which is never a good sign. However, that is not likely to discourage the viewing public.
The movie opens in New York state in 2001. Megan Leavey (Kate Mara) is living a dead-end life after the death of her best friend. Her family life is a mess and then one day she gets a wild hair and joins the Marines. It's off to Parris Island for a short training montage. A graduation celebratory pee in the bushes gets the PFC put on a **** detail which is literal because she has to clean out the kennels of the K9 unit. There she meets a dog named Rex who is not looking to make any friends. As in most cinematic romances, you just know these two will get together. Thankfully the movie eschews the lover's triangle. Before you know it, the duo is off to Iraq. After a couple of routine missions to establish the resumé of a military working dog, Meagan and Rex reach their epiphany by way of an IED. Is this the end of a great friendship?
I wanted to like "Megan Leavey". I love war movies and I love dogs, so it seemed like a natural fit for me. And I am not saying I disliked it. It is a nice little movie and deserves to do well at the box office. My problem is that it has an unsatisfactory feel to it. The word that comes to mind is "shallow". Although it clocks in at almost two hours, parts of it seem cursory. Even the montages are truncated. Megan develops a reputation as a problem with no evidence presented. Megan bonds with Rex with little difficulty. Training is barely touched on. The divorced parents pop up to assure us that Megan is better off risking her life in Iraq than being around them. In Iraq, we get only brief tastes of the hazardous duties of Megan and Rex. The movie has some giant time jumps that give the false impression that war for a bomb-sniffing dog team is long stretches between cinematic-worthy suspense. To tell you the truth, the movie does not make a strong case for Megan and/or Rex being a hero. The movie throws in a romantic interest for Megan which is perfunctory. I could best describe the movie as the Cliff's Notes version of the story.
I'm not trying to be the grinch who stole your feel-good movie of the summer. The movie is nicely made with decent acting. Obviously, Kate Mara is solid and the unidentified dog actor is fine. Does it make sense to say they lacked chemistry? Rex usually appears less than thrilled to see her. Probably that soldier thing where they don't want to get too invested in a friendship. The cast is fine, but wastes three as the father, mother, and stepfather (Bradley Whitford, Edie Falco, and Will Patton). More time with the dog and less with the glum-inflictors would have been a good decision. The dialogue does not stand out and there are no memorable lines. However, the movie is not schmaltzy and does not jerk tears. It certainly had the potential to require tissues if it had carried the "true story" to its completion (see below). While I am not a big fan of tearjerkers, this movie would have been better if it stuck to the true story better. Or fleshed out what it decided to cover.
Take a break from the usual bombastic summer fare and you'll leave the theater feeling good. Just don't expect an Academy Award nominations. And don't go home and shame your dog.
HISTORICAL ACCURACY: Megan Leavey did not escape a dead-end life by joining the Marines. She was not depressed over the loss of her best friend. In fact, she was in college when she was inspired by 9/11 to serve her country. She was not punished by being sent to the K9 unit. She volunteered for the Military Police and was assigned Rex. He was not a problem dog. He had already been to Iraq with his original handler. Sgt. Mike Dowling took Rex to Iraq in the first deployment of military dogs since the Vietnam War. He later wrote a well-received book entitled Sergeant Rex: The Unbreakable Bond Between a Marine and his Military Working Dog. The book chronicles their adventures In Iraq and covers how Dowding helped Rex overcome his fear of explosions and gunfire. (Although Dowling has publicly expressed his support for the movie, I have to wonder about his feelings about being written out of it.) I am unclear how Leavey became the dog's handler, but she must have taken over in Iraq. They did not meet when Leavey was training to be a dog handler. The two spent two tours together. First in Fallujah in 2005 and the second in Ramadi in 2006. The IED incident occurred during the second tour. The movie accurate depicts it. Leavey and Rex both took about a year to recover. Leavey decided not to reenlist and wanted to adopt Rex at this point, but the Marines logically turned her down because Rex had recovered to the point where he could resume his duties. The adoption was not foiled by a bitchy veterinarian as shown in the movie. Several years passed (much longer than the movie implies) and Rex developed a facial palsy that ended his working career. It was at this point that Leavey reinitiated her adoption attempts. She did contact Sen. Schumer from New York, although not personally as shown in the movie. The Senator did facilitate the reunion. Leavey and Rex made the national news and were honored at Yankee Stadium. Unfortunately, they had only a few months together before Rex passed away in 2012. Now you can break out those hankies.
I think most would agree that the movie would have been better if it had adhered to the real story. Remove the lame plotting about Leavey escaping her crappy family and substitute her having to take over a dog that was already bonded to a male handler. I think that cinematic dynamic would have worked better. And add more from the one hundred plus missions the trio did in Iraq. Close with the big finish of Rex dying. Not a dry eye in the house.

Chippa is an unapolagetic rippa. We bunged up his latest clip a couple of weeks back, but neglected to put up the interview he did for us with it. Idiots! Here she blows, with another chance to check the man's vid from Baja.
So Chippa, why Chippa? Where does the nickname come from?
Chippa, just was a name that stuck since i was a lil kid. Just a childhood thing.
Tell us about your tatts. Do you get more action from womans with ink? Is Ink more popular than t-shirts in Australia?
I have my right arm/ chest and knee covered. My fav would probably be the T-rex on my knee….. and i guess some girls like them but some girl don't. They are becoming more and more common. Tshirts are still more common……….
Fave/worst things about Australia…
Fave thing it i have lived here my whole life and all my friends and family live here! Worst is the price of things lately.
Fave/worst things about Europe…
Fave would have to be the waves and women! Both are amazing! Worst is that i am not that good at your languages, so everything is hard!
Do you do yoga? Or would trampolining be better? Do you dance?
None of the above, i just skate as much as i can and surf all the time…… those two together is perfect for. A lot of fitness helps too.
Top 3 beers and why?
VB, Asahi and Kirin with some japanese is unbeatable.
3 places you never been to but would like to and why?
Moscow, Russia, Amsterdam Netherlands and London, UK. I think it would be a whole lot of fun.
Places that you probably wouldn't hurry back…?
i haven't had that bad of a time anywhere really, i mean there's a few clubs and food places that i will not being going back to but country wise i have loved anywhere.
What can we expect from the future of surfing and the future of Chippa?
Im going to be trying new tricks and stay happy surfing. As for me, still haven't gone and seen the lady with the crystal ball! Only she knows!

Anxiety disorders affect millions of people each year. Even in Cheswick Village most people will experience the adverse effects of Fear and Anxiety from time to time. Many suffer alone, trying very hard to live and cope with this problem without trying to find any help. Everybody experiences some anxiety; it is a genuine human experience.
A normal amount of anxiousness can be helpful as it keeps us alert to the danger. It impinges on us physically and on an emotional level. Anxiety produces adrenaline that can really feel a lot like panic and fear. This adrenaline is actually what kept our ancestors one step ahead of their predators and is known as the 'fight or flight' response. Thankfully, we don't face the same threats as our ancestors' however this adrenaline still has a purpose today. However, in excess it can more often than not work against us, causing us to experience panic and fear when there is absolutely nothing to be concerned about.
Emotions like this can have a severe impact on a person's life in Cheswick Village and be long lasting. Anxiety like this is often called GAD (generalised anxiety disorder)
Disguising the fear in Cheswick Village, Bristol
Signs and symptoms of GAD range from feelings of worry, fear and dread, sleeping disorders, wooziness, heart palpitations, shaking, depression, nausea and panic and anxiety attacks. A great number of sufferers find it difficult just to survive through the day and battle to stop the feelings of panic and fear. This incapacitating and complex condition is most commonly appears between childhood years and middle age but can impact on a person at any age.
Plenty of people with this condition report they genuinely feel like they're 'going mad'. They believe that no one could understand them and genuinely feel uncomfortable and ashamed. They suffer in silence, hiding their disorder from good friends, family and workmates. They hide behind an emotional and behavioural mask having lost all faith in their mind and body
Believing there is not any hope for a better life in Cheswick Village and covering up the anxiety is quite usual for GAD sufferers. Hiding this problem and not handling the problems can actually exacerbate and prolong the anxiety.
Discovering and addressing the root cause of the matter is the most useful way of removing the anxiousness. Diminishing the cause should ultimately diminish the issue. You can get help from a qualified and experienced Hypnotherapist serving Cheswick Village.
Hypnosis is a very successful approach in tackling anxiety and removing the underlying causes. Through hypnotherapy, a person can find different approaches to thinking and feeling about their issues and achieve a greater understanding.
When using a hypnotic approach, positive suggestions are offered to the sub-conscious to reduce the undesirable feelings and beliefs that were in charge. Our sub-conscious mind is a terrifically powerful tool and hypnotherapy processes our minds resources to gain control over our views and feelings.
Changes Welcome Hypnotherapy works with all kinds of people, helping them with all kinds of issues, and operates in Bristol & Gloucestershire, and via Webcam.

300 Puig Campana students participate in the first Solidarity Race in favor of Save the Children
300 students and family members of CEIP Puig Campana have participated this morning in the first edition of the non-competitive Solidarity Race organized by the center in favor of Save the Children.
The mayor of Benidorm, Toni Pérez, the councilors of Youth and Sports, Ana Pellicer and Arturo Cabrillo and other companions of the corporation, have accompanied the students in an initiative that aims to raise funds in favor of this NGO that will allocate them to education and development projects.
The initiative to celebrate a sports activity where the important thing is not to win but to participate, arose from the initiative that has always had the support of parents and students. The charity race was the last of the activities held at the center to commemorate the International Day of Peace, celebrated around the world on Monday 28. During the last days, teachers and tutors have developed different activities with students with the purpose of instilling values such as collaboration, solidarity or sportsmanship.

Chenopodium pallidicaule
|Chenopodium pallidicaule

|Chenopodium pallidicaule
Chenopodium pallidicaule, known as qañiwa, qañawa or qañawi (Quechua,[1][2][3] Hispanicized spellings cañihua, canihua, cañahua, cañahui, also kaniwa, kañiwa) is a species of goosefoot, similar in character and uses to the closely related quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa).
Qañiwa is native to the Andean region, with more than 200 varieties, and it has been farmed in the Altiplano for millennia. As a crop, qañiwa has important beneficial characteristics, including tolerance of high mountain conditions, high protein content, high antioxidant capacity and phenolic content[4][5] and a lack of the saponins which complicate quinoa use.
Botanical description[edit]
Qañiwa is a herbaceous and annual plant.[6][7] This species is diploid with a chromosome number of 2n = 18.[8] There are two types of this species, which differ in their branching.The lasta type shows high branching, whereas the saguia type is characterized by few branching and its more erected growth.[9] The plant grows to 20–60 cm high and is therefore shorter than its close relative quinoa.
Qañiwa also vary from quinoa in its inflorescence and its flower traits.[6] The inflorescences are situated on the terminal and axillar cimas.[9] The flowers are small and without petals.[9] There are three different types of flower. Hermaphrodite consists of both the stamen and the pistils. Another flower type are the pistillate flowers, which have pistils, but no stamens. The third type of flower are male sterile flowers.[9]
The fruits are small and dark, which contain brown or black seed with a diameter of 0.5 to 1.5 mm.[9] The fruits are deciduous, which means that the seeds are lost spontaneously and are then dispersed.[9] Once maturation is reached, the plant stem and leaves change in colour to yellow, red, green or purple.[6][9]
Qañiwa is a half-domesticated plant from the Highlands of Bolivia and Peru,[10] cultivated as a pseudo-cereal crop for its seeds.[11] Both seeds and leaves are edible.[12]
The plant was often cultivated in South-America in the past. More than 200 varieties are known in Bolivia, but only twenty are still in use. Most farmers are cultivating just one of them.[13]
Environmental requirements[edit]
Qañiwa is highly adapted to the Andean climate and therefore cold-resistant in all growth stages. Adult plants are also resistant to night frosts.[12] In vegetative stage, the plant may survive until –10 °C, flowers until –3 °C [11] and is growing until temperatures up to 28 °C at sufficient humidity.[14]
Qañiwa can be grown from 1500 m up to 4400 m, but is rarely cultivated below 3800 m. The plant has resistance to strong winds, heavy rainfalls, most pests and diseases and even prolonged drought periods.[11][12] Rainfall from 500 to 800 mm during the growing season makes irrigation unnecessary.[12] The plant dislikes shade, maritime exposure or excess humidity.[12] Qañiwa can be grown on any kind of moderately fertile soil, including shallow, acid, alkaline or saline soils.[11][12]
Plant development[edit]
As an annual crop, qañiwa reaches maturity in 95 to 150 days, depending on variety.[11] Germinating starts at soil temperatures of 5 °C. Flowering happens from July to October at temperatures around 10 °C and ripening from August to October at 15 °C.[12]
Harvesting and post-harvesting[edit]
Qañiwa has to be harvested at colour change,[14] before full maturation, to prevent high yield losses due to seed scattering.[11] The crop has to be cut, dried and threshed. Threshing can occur by hand or using a wheat thresher.[14] Papery husks enclose the seeds and have to be washed and rubbed away.[12] Average seed yield is 400 – 900 kg/ha in traditional cropping systems. In intensive systems, yields of 2–3 t can be obtained.[11] 1000–kernel weight is only 480 mg, compared to 1900 mg - 4000 mg of quinoa.[15]
Potential and risks[edit]
Qañiwa is a forgotten crop. Once widely used in the Andes, qañiwa has been replaced by other crops as millet. Today it has only significance at higher altitudes, where neither quinoa nor millet can grow.[16] In analogy to the success of quinoa and the increasing demand for it in western countries, qañiwa has a growing market potential. It can be well grown in cool climate or mountainous regions. The crop was experimentally produced in Finland and showed good results.[14] The risk of outcrossing is very small, as qañiwa is self-pollinating.[15] The risk of becoming invasive remains, since the broad establishment of other chenopodium species is recorded.[17] The selection of convenient varieties is required if cultivation shall be expanded. The most important breeding aims are the reduction of seed scattering and increased seed size.[14][18]
Nutritional status[edit]
The indigenous Andean food crops, quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa), kiwicha (Amaranthus caudatus) and qañiwa have a remarkably high nutritional value.[19] They are especially good sources of proteins, calcium, iron and health-promoting bioactive compounds such as flavonoids. Their protein, calcium, zinc and iron content is higher than that of more widely commercialized cereals and since they are gluten-free, they can be consumed by those who suffer from coeliac disease.[20][21]
The protein content (15.3%) of qañiwa grain is significantly higher than that of quinoa and kiwicha and qañiwa's protein quality is remarkably good.[20][22] The amino acid's composition is nutritionally well-balanced, with an adequate level of essential amino acids, and the nutritional value of qañiwa proteins is equivalent to that of milk proteins, which allows it to substitute animal proteins.[19][20][22] The lipids consist mainly of unsaturated fatty acids, which has various physiological functions such as the maintenance of cell membrane fluidity.[19][20] Thus, for the inhabitants of the Altiplano, qañiwa is an extremely important crop and a main source of calories. The grain has further nutritional benefits. First, unlike quinoa, qañiwa contains a much lower amount of the bitter tasting saponins what makes it more tasty and convenient for consumption since it can be used directly as food without washing.[22] Second, this crop has a high dietary fibre content which have beneficial health effects such as improving the digestion and reducing the level of cholesterol in the blood.[19] Third, qañiwa grain is an notable source of phenolic compound (phenols) and its antioxidant activity is high, both of which has important health effects.[22]
Qañiwa can easily be milled to flour and can be prepared further as a toasted qañiwa flour called kañiwaco.[19][22] Kañiwaco has a nutty taste and can be mixed with water and milk for a breakfast meal. Since it is rich in calories and proteins, local people take it on long travels. Additionally, qañiwa flour can be used for a lot of other purposes such as bread-making, pastry-making and noodle-making. Some varieties of qañiwa can even be included in sweets, snacks and weaning food mixtures.[22]
The cooking and extrusion technology tests have already shown successful results in several countries. This technology present numerous advantages such as low cost, simple operation, moderate production volume, minimum auxiliary equipment, versatility, good sanitary conditions and easy management.[23] Results from a study demonstrated that the initial moisture content of 12% was optimal to obtain an extrudate with good physicochemical characteristics (e.g. degree of gelatinization, sectional expansion index, water absorption index, water solubility index and density). Thus, the food industry should assess this ingredient (extrudate of qañiwa) because of its functional properties and high nutrient content.[22] Additionally, roasting does not significantly affect the dialyzability of nutritionally valuable minerals in qañiwa. Boiling, however, was found to increase zinc, iron and calcium dialyzability.[21]
Importance for food security[edit]
Qañiwa is an important crop for food security in the Andean region. In some parts of this area, there are serious nutritional problems. The most affected group are families in rural areas, which has limited access to commodities due to a lack of income. On top of that, there are every once in a while severe shortage of food due to natural disasters such as droughts. Under these conditions, it is essential for peasants to rely on easily accessible foodstuffs and crops that are well adapted to the harsh weather conditions. Qañiwa is both easily accessible and resistant, so when all other crops fail, qañiwa still succeed to provide food and income for highland farmers.[19]
However, even if Andean crops have been an important part of the Latin American diet a long way back, there is a modern tendency to replace native crops with imported food products which are cheaper but of lower quality. This tendency threatens the competitiveness of native crop production and they might completely lose their market with time. In order to alleviate these problems, new food-processing technologies and products are being developed to encourage companies to process native Andean crops and to increase their consumption as well as open up larger markets.[19]

BAGUIO City Mayor Mauricio Domogan challenged the City Council to help implement a ban on political campaigning during the Panagbenga grand parades on March 2 and 3.
Domogan, in reaction to a recent move by aldermen to allow candidates to participate in the parade with contingents and incumbent officials during the grand street and float parades, said councilors are among those who should implement the guidelines.
The mayor said he is against the move to allow candidates to participate in the parade. But with the city council move, he said it would be very hard and awkward to thwart any politicking.
Last week, the City Council passed a resolution prohibiting campaigning during the festival but at the same time allowing candidates to walk the parade route during the grand street dancing and float events.
The original resolution, "Strict Non-politicization of candidates on any of the Panagbenga Activities," of Councilor Arthur Allad-iw was amended to allow candidates to march the parade route provided they follow the rules of conduct.
Last year, Ilocos Norte Governor Imee Marcos and former senator Ferdinand Marcos paraded with officials of the city and the Baguio Flower Festival Foundation Incorporated and engaged the crowd along the parade route.
They were both given a chance to speak to the crowd at the Athletic Bowl, with Imee introducing Bongbong as the vice president of the Philippines.
This year, Councilor and Baguio Flower Festival Executive Committee Chairman Elmer Datuin announced that invitations have been sent to Senator Bong Revilla and Maguindanao Rep. Zajid Mangudadatu, a senatorial aspirant, for the March parades.
Datuin likewise hinted that Imee Marcos might also attend the festivities.

LED lights are used in cinemas to mark the steps, guiding moviegoers to their seats. They are also used to point out different signage.
LED signs aren't exactly a common sight in movie houses but only time will tell when cinema owners will begin to realize their importance especially in the promotion of films. They are a common fixture, though, in film festivals in the US and around the world.
Just for kicks, we listed three of the major international film festivals that, in one way or another, use LED sign to help promote their event. No wonder smaller film festivals have followed suit, and it won't take long before movie houses also start employing a LED sign in their establishment.
The Big Three, as they are called, are the grandest, most prestigious film festivals in the world.
Having started in 1952, the Venice Film Festival is the oldest international film festival in the world. It is held in the island of Lido in Venice, Italy every late August or early September.
The Cannes Film Festival takes place in Cannes, France usually in the month of May. It was founded in 1946 and has for president of the jury, the celebrated American filmmaker Steven Spielberg.
With the biggest audience turnout, the Berlin Film Festival is regarded as the biggest publicly attended event of its kind in the world. Formed in 1978, it is held every February in Berlin, Germany.
All of these film festivals screen films of all genres, as well as documentaries from around the world. Film enthusiasts have the organizers to thank as they continue to do everything to get the industry going. You can be sure LED sign manufacturers support the same cause.
Mega LED Technology is a leading USA manufacturer of programmable LED signs. From our humble beginnings in 2006, our company has expanded leaps and bounds by staying committed to our goal: to provide the highest quality products at the most competitive prices while delivering unrivaled customer service and support.

Last night, I had one of the most frightening experiences of my life as a mommy.
Walker choked.
As y'all know, my child eats just about anything. He has a mouth full of teeth, a healthy appetite and a penchant for table food since early on. I am very careful with certain food - i.e. hot dogs, grapes - to cut them up in teeny tiny pieces. And he has never really had any problems eating what we eat.
Then enters pizza...
We had some of our close friends over for a laid back carry-out dinner and Office re-runs. Walker was sitting beside me on a bench at the table chewing on watermelon and cantaloupe when he reached over to take a bite of my pizza. I didn't think anything of it and handed him one of my pieces and resumed conversation.
A few minutes later I felt him grab my arm.
I could tell when I Iooked at him that something was wrong. His eyes were scared and his hand was by his mouth. He was trying to cough but I couldn't hear any air coming out. Just a muffled attempt.
Oh, God. What do I do?
I looked at the other three adults at the table and their faces looked like blank canvases. It's not that they didn't care. Quite the contrary. They were just in shock. I think I mumbled something about "not knowing what to do." Then I just said a quick prayer. All of this was happening so fast, but it seemed like slow motion. And by the grace of God, I was staying calm.
I remembered being told not to stick your finger down their throat when they are choking. And let me tell you, that is the very first urge I had. Instead, I turned him over on my hand and gave him hard pats on his back. I could tell it was helping. His cough was making noise now. But something was still lodged in his little throat. I kept going and praying. I was on the verge of asking Lee to call 911 when something started to appear out of his mouth. I pulled a long string of cheese that seemed to keep coming.
My baby had choked on my favorite food - cheese.
Walker started to cough loud and hard and cry. Wow. Crying never sounded so good. Music to my ears. Thank you, Jesus.
I share this story because I want to encourage each of you to know what to do if your sweet baby (of a person of any age, for that matter) is truly choking or needs CPR. If you're like me, you took classes and you might just need a refresher. Or maybe it's been so long that you need to learn it all again. Either way, let me tell you that it's worth the minor amount of time that it takes to be prepared to react in a time of need.
You can always contact your local Red Cross to find out about classes in your area. At very least, check out this link from Mayo Clinic to refresh your memory.

DLF New Town Heights Gurgaon — Extornist DLF
206 Reviews
DLF Started Selling New Town Heights Gurgaon through agents across the country instead of advertizing it on their website . They called in Pre Launch. They did sell it through agents starting february. When the money was taken by wire transfer by them, they advertized this sale in the Web site by March middle and Increase the price by 20% with Some thing Called Preferential Location charges. This was universally applied to all the Big appartments.
Later the Agents in Collusion with DLF assigned appartment numbers to all the gullible persons who has paid up money in the prelaunch and imposed this 20% fee on them. Either you take the appartment or we will keep your earnest deposit.
A clear case of blackmail, deceit and extortion. Coming of top of it, A rude and arrogant person lying thorough his teeth sits as Customer Care GM. He forgets conveniently that DLF did not even advertize this sale till the middle of March. It did not accept direct communication through individuals through the middle of march and then claimed the agents are cheaters, not them.
Result: All the customers who are trapped are feeling cheated and let down by this appartement Sale by DLF. They cant withdraw their money since allotments have been done in collusion with agents and Customers have no way out.

The concept of bagging (voting for classification, averaging for regression-type
problems with continuous dependent variables of interest) applies to the
area of predictive data mining,
to combine the predicted classifications (prediction) from multiple models,
or from the same type of model for different learning data. It is also
used to address the inherent instability of results when applying complex
models to relatively small data sets.
Suppose your data mining task is to build a model for predictive classification,
and the data set from which to train the model (learning data set, which
contains observed classifications) is relatively small. You could repeatedly
sub-sample (with replacement) from the data set and apply, for example,
a tree classifier (e.g., C&RT
and CHAID) to
the successive samples. In practice, very different trees will often be
grown for the different samples, illustrating the instability of models
often evident with small data sets. One method of deriving a single prediction
(for new observations) is to use all trees found in the different samples,
and to apply some simple voting: The final classification is the one most
often predicted by the different trees. Note that some weighted combination
of predictions (weighted vote, weighted average) is also possible, and
commonly used. A sophisticated (machine
learning) algorithm for generating weights for weighted prediction
or voting is the Boosting procedure. See also

If you've graduated college recently, look at a couple different things when searching for medical health insurance.

"At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom"
– Jawaharlal Nehru
It's been 72 years since we achieved independence from the Britishers. On the midnight of August 14, 1947, when the first Prime Minister of Independent India, Jawaharlal Nehru talked about freedom then his idea of freedom was with regard to the nation and its independence from a hundred years long rule from Britishers. It was after a long struggle that India got free from British Raj.
It's been years today, 72 to be exact. The idea of freedom and independence is evolved. Today, it is not just confined to the nation but has become more personal. There are communities fighting for their independence which is completely justified but what the idea of independence today is, is to get freedom (in all aspects) within this independent India. Okay! It's one's right to be independent but take a step back and think, WHAT DO WE ACTUALLY DEMAND ON THE NAME OF FREEDOM?
Let me be out till 2 am but I'll not stand for gay rights
I scrolled down on Quora to check what do people have to say regarding the 'freedom' their parents allow. Here is the answer I got and I am sure that most of the youngsters could relate to this:
Now here is this another quora answer which I think best summarises the situation. (Figures in the answer forbidden):
Think of what you demand in name of freedom and what you should actually stand for?
We want 'azaadi'. No, not from patriarchy
It is extremely easy to chant the slogans of azaadi, screaming 'Kashmir maange azaadi, Bastar maange azaadi' but do not we have a government to handle these issues? At the same time, why are there fewer people demanding azaadi from patriarchy? Watch the following video which will explain to you what azaadi do we actually want:
But apart from this, there are people who say:
Britishers hi acche kr gye
Seriously? I agree with the fact that there are a lot many issues even today and we not only need to acknowledge but solve them too but isn't it way too much when you exaggerate it to 'Britishers hi theek the'?
For instance, I have heard a number of people saying that the British introduced railways but given their absence, the introduction and development of railways would probably have been very slow. Is this not doubting one's own capabilities? Do not we have a wide network of metro rails today?
Read about the plight of Indians under the British empire and find out how in our own country, we were no less than slaves. What we have today is a democracy, perfect or not is an altogether a different question. The point is, it's easy to talk and say that Britishers did well to India. Maybe in terms of infrastructure, they did but think of the cost our national leaders and freedom fighters had to pay. Imagine the plight of our forefathers as slaves!
Just see how the idea of independence is evolved and what we sometimes demand in the name of freedom. Think of what should you should actually ask for and what usually asks.
Above all, be proud to be an Indian.
Happy Independence Day!

With increasing popularity of whole-day primary school, large numbers of children would have to take their lunch at school every day. As contracts made with lunch suppliers usually spans for at least one academic year (and up to three years), choosing an appropriate lunch supplier becomes an important task for primary schools.
It is very common for schools and parents to choose their school lunch supplier based on factors like scales of suppliers, word-of-mouth, food hygiene and prices. In fact, it would also important to consider suppliers ability to provide food with good nutrition quality as well as their investment made to conserve the environment during meal production.
Upon consultation with relevant stakeholders, the Department of Health, the Education Bureau and the Environmental Protection Department have together developed a "Handbook of Selection of Lunch Suppliers" for school reference. Supplemented by regular lunch monitoring tools, the Department of Health hopes that lunch provided for school children could be both nutritive and value for money.
Handbook of Selection of Lunch Suppliers (September 2019)

The employment report: almost perfectly anticipated
All elements of the report came exactly as anticipated, wage growth, hours worked, labor force participation and the unemployment rate. The only surprise was the 56K below expectation payroll. However, that was more than "compensated" by the upward revisions for the previous two months. Once again, many generally referred to the report as "solid" or "strong". I have previously argued against that view. Here, I want to concentrate "fire power" on some other misconceptions regarding the labor market. Recently, Chairman Powell said: "Everywhere we go we hear about labor shortages. But where's the wage reaction? " "So it's a bit… Read More

Trade Platforms - Private Placement Programs (PPPs) - High Yield Investment Programs (HYIPs).
Trade Platform are insured in European union, America. Program manager, traders.
Related Questions
As the current economy lacks in liquidity, more and more financiers are looking to fund commercial real estate and humanitarian projects via a financing/trading mechanism called Private Placement Program (also known as managed buy/sell trade program). These Private Placement Programs generally involve the purchase and sale of bank instruments such as medium term notes (MTNs), bank guarantees BGs), or treasury bills (T-bills). Each trade creates a margin of profit, and the volume of trades carried out on a weekly basis determines the overall of private placement programs.
The global economy benefits from these private placement platforms as the profits are put back into the economy, generate jobs, and go toward good causes. Finding a legitimate private placement program manager is close to impossible as these transactions are, as the term implies, private. Invitations are given only to those entities or individuals that meet certain compliance standards and can provide proof of their high net-worth individual status. After filing a client information sheet (CIS) which includes proof of funds, passport, and validation of clients assets, the trading platform undergoes due diligence and the screening process begins. Ultimately the contracts are signed at a table top meeting after full transparency of the program is made to the client.
The client/entity is used mainly as a 3rd party investor since it is illegal for financial institutions to invest their own money into private placement programs or managed buy/sell trade programs. Furthermore, the client will benefit from a no-risk source of funding since the traders involved draw upon their own line of credit off the clients asset/monies to enter trade. Lines of credit against the investor's funds are underwritten by the trade group through their own in-house credit facility. Reported historical returns vary from 5% up to 100% weekly for various amounts of times.

The Karnataka State
Judicial Employees'
By its Secretary, N.
[1] The State of
Karnataka, by the Secretary to Government,
[2] The Commissioner
for Registration and Stamps
[3] The
The Petitioner in the above writ petition states as follows:-
[1] The Petitioner is a House Building Co-operative Society Ltd, and in this writ petition the directions issued by the 2nd respondent to the Sub-registrars in Bangalore, not to register the sale deeds executed by 32 House Building Co-operative Societies in favour of its members without a no objection certificate issued by the Registrar of Co-operative Societies and without the site being released by the Bangalore Development Authority in favour of Co-operative societies, are challenged by the petitioner. The said directions are based upon a circular issued by the Government on 11-05-1994 to the same effect. The petitioner submits that the directions so made are wholly unauthorised and are ultra-vires the provisions of the Registration Act and the Rules framed thereunder. The Government has acquired lands situated in Allasandra, Chikka Bommasandra and Jakkur Plantation villages, for the benefit of the petitioner society. The Government has acquired large areas of land for the benefit of House Building Co-operative Societies on account of the fact that the society was disabled from purchasing the land directly from the owners. The Government had constituted a three-member Committee to process the applications received from the House Building Co-operative Societies and make suitable recommendations to the Government for acquiring the land. Among other things, the said Committee was required to go into the question regarding the extent of land required by each society having regard tot he number of members who required the same. On being satisfied that the society needed the land recommended by the Committee, the Government issued instructions to the Deputy Commissioner to initiate acquisition proceedings. The enquiry under Section 5-A duly held and the Government had made declarations that the land is required for a public purpose. Before the declaration was made, the Government had called upon the Society to deposit the entire acquisition cost and the conversion fine, establishment charges, audit charges etc, The society has also entered into an agreement with the Government to utilise the land for the purpose for which it was acquired. This agreement was insisted upon by the Government in order to ensure that the society does not make use of land other than that for which it was acquired. The awards were duly made and the government took over possession of the lands from the owners.
[2] At this stage, it was brought to the notice of the Government that some of the societies had indulged in irregularities of grave nature and therefore a decision was taken at the Cabinet level that until the clearance was given by the Co-operative Department, the lands should not be handed over to the societies, though the Government and taken over the lands from its owners. Accordingly, the Co-operative Department has been asked to examine the affairs of each society and submit a report to the Government as to whether the working of the society was satisfactory or not and whether there were any irregularities in its working which would dis-entitle the society from getting the lands acquired. Having got the necessary information from the Co-operative Department which had conducted a detailed enquiry into the affairs of the society, the Government again examined the claim of the society and directed the Land Acquisition Officer to hand over possession of the lands to the societies concerned. Though there were no guidelines in these matters, this was the procedure that was being following even earlier. in fact, one of the orders issued in this connection relating to the petitioner society is herewith produced and marked Annexure - A. However, when the new Government took over, series of orders were passed against 32 co-operative societies to whom the lands had been delivered during the regime of the previous ministry and it was threatened that he Bangalore Development Authority would be asked to take over the lands from the co-operative societies and would be asked to distribute the sites in accordance with the recommendations made by a Sub-Committee formed for that purpose. It was clearly stated that sites would be given to the members only if the member was eligible for being granted a site under the Rules of Allotment applicable to the Bangalroe Development Authority. One such orders dated 16-02-1993 is produced herewith and marked Annexure - B.
[3] In the meantime, the societies had approached the Bangalore Development Authority for approval of the layouts and in most cases the layout had been approved. The development works in some cases had also been carried out and the sites were ready for being allotted. It is necessary to state at this stage that the acquisitions were started way back in 1985 or so and the members of the society had deposited huge amounts from 1985 onwards. There was also no reason for the Government to restrict the application of the Government Order only to 32 co-operative societies except perhaps for the reason that possession of the lands was given to these societies in October November 1992. The order of the Government was challenged by all the societies in which the said Government Order was stayed. Thereafter, an Ordinance was issued called "The Bangalore Development Authority [Amendment ] Ordinance, 1993" which was published in the Karnataka Gazette on 16-061993 as Ordinance No. 7 of 1993 which provided that the lands acquired by the government for the 32 co-operative societies should be received by the Bangalore Development Authority for formation of a layout and for distribution of sites tot he genuine members of the society and a High Power committee was constituted to decide to decide as to who were the genuine members of the co-operative society. It is necessary to state that it is for the co-operative society to distribute the sites among its members and that power which is vested in the Committee cannot be entrusted to an outside agency and the ordinance was in effect a serious encroachment on the powers of the committee. This Ordinance was again challenged by all the co-operative societies and the operation of the Ordinance was stayed. It was contended in the writ petition that the Ordinance infringed the right of the societies and was violative of Article 300-A of the Constitution of India and also Article 14 of the Constitution of India. Only 32 co-operative societies could not be singled out for discrimination when there was no rationale behind picking up only these 32 co-operative societies for discriminatory treatment. The Ordinance lapsed in the course of time and not even an application has been made by the State Government to get the order of stay vacated. Thus, the effort made by the Government to take over the lands from the societies and entrust the distribution of sites to outside agencies had been thwarted. There after he Registrar of Co-operative Societies issued an order purporting to be under Section 30-B of the Karnataka Co-operative Societies Act restraining 32 co-operative societies from making any allotment of sites and getting the sale registered unless the genuine members were identified by the Committee constituted for that purpose . These orders which were issued by the Government were again challenged by all the Societies, including the Petitioner. The operation of the order dated 22-02-1994 passed by the Registrar of Co-operative Societies was stayed.
[4] In view of the stay order passed in the above writ petition, the societies concerned were free to make allotment of sites to their members according to the norms which had already been adopted by the societies for distribution of sites among its members. The only thing that remains to be done is the registration of the sale deed. The Society cannot expect to get money for meeting the cost of acquisition and development works unless the members are assured of the sites. Most of the members had deposited a major portion of the sale price even as early as in the year 1984-85 and the members are accordingly looking forward to get possession of the sites after the sale deeds are executed. In these circumstance, in order to circumvent the stay orders issued by the High Court in the several writ petitions referred to above, a direction has been issued to the sub-registrars not to register the sale deeds to be executed by 32 co-operative societies, unless certain conditions were satisfied. The said direction is a serious inroad into the powers of a co-operative society and such a direction cannot be issued by the Government curtailing the powers of the Registrar to perform his statutory duties.
[5] Under the provisions of the Registration Act, the Registrar in registering a document, performs a statutory duty and his action can be controlled only if the law permits and not otherwise. Under Section 22-A of the Registration Act, the State Government may by notification in the official gazette declare that the registration of any document or classes of documents, is opposed to public policy and in such cases the registering officer shall refuse to register any documents, to which a notification issued under Sub-Section [1] is applicable . The notification issued by the Government on 30-10-1990 enumerates 12 classes of documents which the registering authority may refuse to register on account of the fact that these transactions have been declared by the Government to be against public policy. The registering authority may also refuse to register a document presented before him in certain other circumstances, which are all set out in the Registration Act. Apart from these two classes of cases, the statutory functions performed by the Registrar cannot be controlled or curtailed by the Government by any executive instructions issued either by the State Government or by any other authority. The Sub-Registrars or the Registrar are authorities under the statute and they draw their authority there from. Further, the State Government has no power to declare a transaction as opposed to public policy on considerations extraneous to the object with which that power has been conferred upon by the Government. Therefore, in order to brand a transaction as opposed to public policy, the transaction in reality, must be one which is prohibited by law and therefore opposed to public policy. It is not any and every transaction that can be declared as one opposed to public policy by the Government. In the first place, a society ahs every right to allot a site to its member and get it registered in accordance with law. If there is any irregularity in the distribution of sites among the members of the co-operative societies it is up to a person aggrieved to challenge the same in a proceeding under Section 70 of the Karnataka Co-operative Societies Act. The Government has, therefore, no power to invent a new head of a public policy only to frustrate a normal transaction which under no circumstances can be regarded as one which is prohibited by law. A true copy of the circular instructions issued by the Registrar-General of Registration and Stamps dated 17-051994 is produced herewith and marked Annexure-C. The petitioner submits that the instructions issued are without authority of law and are not in public interest. Further, it is a male-fide exercise of power, since the only reason for selecting 32 co-operative societies out of nearly 200 co-operative societies registered in Bangalore, is that possession of the lands acquired by the Government for these societies was handed over to the societies in was handed over to the societies in October-November 1992 and no other. The transaction in question does not come within any of the categories of case enumerated in the Government notification dated 10-12-1990 and therefore the Government had no authority to issue any instructions to the Sub-registrar not to register the sale deeds presented for registration by these societies unless certain conditions are complied with . Having regard to the stay orders issued earlier to which reference has already been made supra. The question of identifying genuine members of a co-operative society by an authority constituted by the Government is impermissible and it was not within the power of the Government also to stipulate that for any allotment to be made by the society, the said site should have been released by the Bangalore Development Authority . In fact, this Hon'ble Court, has held that no such release order by the Bangalore Development Authority is necessary in the case of co-operative societies. The said view has been confirmed in a writ appeal and therefore the Government in imposing a condition that there should be a release order from the Bangalore Development Authority is actually committing an act of contempt in as much as the Government has shown scant respect of the law declared by the High Court .
[6] A writ as prayed for may be issued on the following:-
[i] The Circular instructions issued by the Government regarding registration of documents between the society and its members are without authority of law and the issue of these instructions amount to the Government attempting to circumvent the stay orders issued by the High Court, the only difference being that the earlier order was issued by the Registrar in the exercise of his power under Section 30-B of the Co-operative Societies Act and the Government issuing these instructions without being empowered to do so in any statute or otherwise.
[ii] The Circular instructions issued confining the application of the same only to 32 co-operative societies are discriminatory. The only reason for selecting these 32 co-operative societies for discriminatory treatment is that the possession of the lands acquired by the Government for the befit of the society was handed over tot he society in October 1992, when the Ministry was different.
[iii] The Registrar in registering a document performs a statutory duty and his power can be curtailed only if the law empowers the Government to do so. Under the Registration Act, the Registrar may refuse to register a document which has been declared as a document opposed to public policy. The transaction in question does not come within any of the 12 categories mentioned in the Government notification dated 10-12-1990. The Sub-Registrar or the Registrar may also refuse to registrar a document in certain other circumstances which are all set out in the Registration Act.
[iv] This Hon'ble Court has held that no release order from the Bangalore Development Authority is necessary before the society makes any allotment. The said view has been confirmed in a writ appeal also. The Government was a party to these proceedings and is as much bound by the law as laid down by any other. The condition No. 2 in the circular ignores the law laid down by this Hon'ble Court.
[v] Grounds in support of the prayer for interim orders:
Before forming a layout and for carrying out the development works, the society has spent huge amount and this can be reimbursed only if the sale deeds are executed by the society in favour of its members. It is at this stage, that these circular instructions which are without authority of law have been issued and unless an order of stay is passed, the society will be put to irreparable loss and injury. Therefore, an interim order as prayed for by the petitioner may be issued in the interest of justice.
[7] The petitioner has no other remedy at law than to approach this Hon'ble Court in the exercise of its writ Jurisdiction under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India. The petitioner has not presented any writ petition in this Hon'ble Court or has taken any other proceedings to challenge the order impugned. The petitioner has not filed any proceedings in this Hon'ble Court or in any other court claiming similar relief.
[8] WHEREFORE, the petitioner prays that this Hon'ble Court may be pleased :-
[i] issue a writ of certiorari or any other writ, order or direction to quash Annexure - C, the circular No. RCS 28/94-95 dated 17-05-1994 issued by the Commissioner for stamps and Registration in Karnataka, Bangalore.
[ii] declare that the Government has no authority to issue any order directing the Sub-registrar not to register the document unless the clearance is obtained from the Registrar of Co-operative Societies and unless a release order is passed by the Bangalore Development Authority.
[iii] pass such other order or orders as may be just and necessary in the circumstances of the case.
[iv] pending disposal of the above writ petition be pleased to stay the operation of Annexure - C, the Circular No. RCS: 28/94-95 dated 17-05-1994 issued by the Commissioner for Registration and Stamps in Karnataka, Bangalore, in the interest of Justice.
