So, this is a story I originally wrote for the LMBs, but since they're closing I will probably continue it here. It's basically a parodied version of the original Bionicle storyline, hopefully it'll go up to 2010, maybe even cover the additional plot of the serials. MNOG will be a part of the first couple of chapters, just so you know.
Chapter One: FIYYAAAAAAAAA!!!
Tahu, was that his name? Sure, seemed pretty cool. And it meant FIYYYYYAAAAAAAA!!! Information popping outta nowhere aside, Tahu realized…i'was kinda dark in here. And he didn't have a body.
Well that sucks, he thought. Better finda way outta 'ere. He kicked and punched, quite well for someone without a body, and then saw a dark circle roll out in his line of sight, revealing the outside world. Something pushed from behind launching him and a couple of limbs onto the soft sand. The parts crawled towards him, and they began to assemble. Put together, Tahu gained a red/orange color to his armor and some cool new thoughts. Let's see, I'm a Toa-hero, ugh, treespeak sucks, wait, how do I know that, oh, and I'm supposed to stop this…Makooti guy? Is he, like an evil corporate business tycoon, nah, he must be an ancient evil who's been creepily stalking the innocent denizens of this island for millenia, and he also assembled an army of animals to carry out his doings AND he controlled them with infected tribal masks, not to mention being a mass of limbs in his true form. Seems legit.
"I dunno why, but I suddenly have a sudden urge to wait outside a large city until some guy named Takua comes along, freak him out, then act like I just got there and walk away," Tahu said. And he proceeded to do just that.
Much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much later… (WHY DIDN'T YOU FIND TAHU EARLIER!!!)
Ah, it feels really good to freak out peoplez after sleeping for so so so long, Tahu thought. Now I'ma go find some elder guy who's probably been standing in front of a fire trying to get some divine messages. Yeah, good luck with that since he's asleep and we live IN A KARZING ROBOT. Ooh, now that's a secret I should hold for seven years until I reveal it to someone who will tell it to everyone else and it'll make sense for them to know. Bursting with glee, Tahu traveled to that one lava place.
To be continued…

Q: I teach in a school with a rapidly growing Spanish-speaking population. Faculty and staff sometimes use phrases such as "straight from the border" and "lazy Mexican" in casual conversations. How can my school cultivate a more tolerant and informed faculty?
Talk with your administration about the need to foster a school climate that is welcoming to all students and their families. Our Speak Up At School guide and professional development module are great places to start. Both are available online.
The language you're hearing also indicates biases that may translate to lower expectations for students—a situation that sabotages students' chances at success. Dr. Robert Rosenthal, distinguished professor of psychology at the University of California, Riverside, found that student achievement and teacher expectations are directly related.
Finally, encourage your administration to take steps to include parents and guardians who may not speak English by providing important school documents and forms in their home languages.
Q: We've noticed that girls outnumber boys by a ratio of 4-to-1 in our school's National Honor Society (NHS) chapter. Why?
For the past two decades, girls have outnumbered boys in the NHS by a 2-to-1 ratio. This imbalance echoes the broader achievement gap in our schools—girls graduate from high school at higher rates and attend college in greater numbers.
Since NHS membership is based on grades, leadership, service and character, the disparity in your NHS chapter is a great opportunity to explore how expectations in those areas may be affected by gender. Do your male students have role models in various positions of leadership? Are they welcome in service programs? If the NHS advisor and most of its members are female, are they creating a culture that is inclusive of boys?
During a conversation with Teaching Tolerance, David Cordts, a spokesman for the NHS, pointed out that young women are making academic strides because of a "concerted and purposeful effort" to steer them toward college. If you want to see more young men in NHS, your school needs to make a similar effort to provide opportunities for boys to lead and serve.
Q: What should be done about a predominantly African-American public school that prefers to be segregated? Should it be encouraged?
At the very least, it should be respected. We're not sure who in the school community is expressing this preference, or in what circumstances, but we think you should start by asking what they like about the current situation.
Maybe it's a neighborhood school and parents are worried about their ability to stay connected to a school that's farther away. Maybe they fear their children won't have as many black teachers with whom they can identify.
The goal is to find solutions that honor the community's concerns. While the research on school integration continues to show benefits ranging from better grades to higher graduation rates, policymakers understand that the best outcomes happen when the community is on board.

Manganese positioning South Africa for entry into huge new energy markets
JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Manganese mining company Jupiter Mines has produced a 99.9% pure sample of high purity manganese sulphate monohydrate (HPMSM) using the Northern Cape's manganese ore and bringing into service an internally developed hydrometallurgical production process.
Inclusion of the battery grade manganese in the cathode of electric vehicle batteries introduces cost efficient energy density and potential safety enhancements, Jupiter stated in its media release to Mining Weekly.
Jupiter's advance towards producing HPMSM follows that of Manganese Metal Co (MMC), chaired by South African mining stalwart Bernard Swanepoel.
As reported by Engineering News & Mining Weekly in September, MMC is in the early phase of constructing a small-scale 5 000 t/y commercial HPMSM plant in Mbombela (Nelspruit), which is expected to be in production by 2026. This plant will be a brownfield addition to MMC's high purity electrolytic manganese metal (EMM) refinery.
The wording of the Jupiter media release to Mining Weekly is that the Australia-listed company's advance is "the first published record of HPMSM being produced by a South African manganese miner using its own process". The manganese product is described as being of battery-grade quality in conformity with specifications provided by the International Manganese Institute.
"We are very encouraged by the high purity testing results that we've achieved through the HPMSM production process that we developed, as well as the progress we are making on our business case development more generally. Our aim is to bring distinctive value to this downstream integration strategy and to derive attractive returns in exchange," said Jupiter MD Brad Rogers.
Next year, MMC will complete half a century of being a producer of the world's purest 99.9% manganese EMM metal from ore that is mined in the Kalahari by Johannesburg-, Sydney- and London-listed diversified mining company South32.
For some time, customers have been buying MMC's high purity manganese metal to dissolve it into HPMSM, and this has prompted MMC to enter the HPMSM production space itself.
Once the 5 000 t/y plant is built, accredited and goes into the batteries of the world, then the sky will be the limit for MMC, which will be able to step out and put South Africa on the battery grade manganese map.
MMC's forward movement into HPMSM is taking place amid key battery electric vehicle (BEV) manufacturers pursuing this more affordable and greener cathode active material with higher manganese content as the material of choice.
Jupiter is performing location studies to determine the ideal location of its first plant. The base case for this work is that Jupiter's refining facility will be in US or Canada, with Europe an alternative.
Ultimately, the decision will be informed by a variety of key criteria, including the location of likely offtake partners.
Jupiter is also considering the merits of producing a manganese concentrate in South Africa, prior to transportation and refinement in North America or elsewhere.
At this year's Fastmarkets European Battery Raw Materials event in Amsterdam, MMC market development executive Madelein Todd highlighted the commitment of MMC to produce sought-after HPMSM in Mbombela directly from manganese ore, in addition to being the producer of the world's highest 99.9% pure manganese metal going back to 1974.
Meanwhile, Jupiter, based on its strategic analysis and discussions with market participants, expressed belief that there will be "a growing and long-term demand for HPMSM, which will be undersupplied for a period commencing in the late 2020s".
Jupiter quoted the International Energy Agency as finding that the typical BEV will require more manganese than lithium and cobalt and Bloomberg New Energy Finance as expecting a supply deficit of 72% (relative to total demand) by 2030.
On track to complete a scoping level market entry business case by December 31, Jupiter will recommend, if appropriate, the commencement of more detailed work in early 2024. This may include the construction of a pilot demonstration plant, prior to a final investment decision (FID) and proceeding commercial plant construction.
Jupiter's laboratory sample of HPMSM – produced using 28% to 32% manganese content Tshipi ore – was reportedly within required tolerance limits for all specified impurity levels. Ntsimbintle Mining, chaired by South Africa's Saki Macozoma, owns 51.1% of Tshipi and Jupiter 49.9%.
Should further work prove successful, Jupiter intends to build and operate an HPMSM conversion facility, into which it will invest equity alongside co-investment from various external sources.
Confidential discussions, which are under way with several co-investors and potential offtake customers, are aimed at helping to put trusting relationships in place by the time FIDs are required.
Jupiter's primary market is the steel industry. An investment in the production of HPMSM would enable market diversification and reduce product risk.
While relatively small in comparison, downstream diversification into supplying the HPMSM market would provide an opportunity for Jupiter to optimise the use of its mineral resources.
Jupiter has team members with experience in the production of pure manganese products.
Two of Jupiter's largest long-term investors, steelmaker Posco and AMCI, are investors in downstream battery mineral processing.
Remarkably, MMC is wheeling 1.8 MW of clean green hydropower from Lydenburg, also in Mpumalanga, to its plant from a hydropower station on the Crocodile river.
This was commissioned following the completion of a process of selection of a vendor for the supply of solar photovoltaic energy.
Moreover, in strong advances to be cleaner and greener, a circular beneficiation model has also been introduced in the form of its landfill material being used to produce clay bricks for use by local communities.
As the single largest user of potable water in Nelspruit, projects to recycle and clean water are on the go to elevate MMC to globally acceptable levels as an exporter.
Currently, 56% of the EMM it produces is sold to Japan, 25% to the US, and 10% to Europe. The EMM is 99.9% pure, beating the next highest 99.7%.
For the last 49 years, MMC has used chemical processing and large quantities of electricity to produce 3% of the world's manganese metal that feeds into a high quality niche market.
In days gone by, MMC was operated by a Samancor structure on behalf of BHP Billiton and Anglo American. Today it is owned by MM Holdings, which is, in turn, held 70% by Bright Resources and 30% by To The Point.
Manganese is going into BEVs and battery energy storage for good technical and cost reasons. Formulations are increasingly including manganese in batteries, which is drawing MMC more deeply into the battery minerals market, with its special South African skills ready to be leveraged.
MMC, which has 400 direct employees and 200 indirect contractor employees, last year earned South Africa R2.28-billion in export revenue, exporting mainly through the ports of Maputo and Durban, and paid R179-million in taxes.
Trade & Industrial Policy Strategies (TIPS) senior economist Gaylor Montmasson-Clair describes MMC as a "South African industrial jewel" that could be many times bigger than its present size.
"It's a one-of-a-kind company that we should support on its growth trajectory. The company's vision is fully aligned with the objectives of the South African Renewable Energy Masterplan and the industrialisation of renewable energy and battery storage value chains in South Africa," Montmasson-Clair added in response to Mining Weekly.
TIPS is an independent, non-profit, economic research institution based in Pretoria that was established in 1996 to support economic policy development, with an emphasis on industrial policy in South Africa and the region.

Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) won't let go of Dr. Anthony Fauci's hot mic moment, in which the President's chief medical advisor grumbled that the senator was a "moron" after he demanded that Fauci's already public financial disclosures … be made public.
On Friday, Marshall announced that he plans to introduce a bill named the "FAUCI Act" — which is supposedly shorthand for the "Financial Accountability for Uniquely Compensated Individuals Act" — in his latest boost to amplify Republicans' attacks against the White House chief medical adviser.
Marshall's stunt to get back at Fauci comes days after the nation's top infectious diseases expert pushed back at the GOP senator's conspiratorial insistence during a Senate Health Committee hearing that he had not made his financial disclosure form available to the public. He had.
Fauci noted that his financial disclosures have, in fact, been available to the public for years due to his work at NIAID.
"What are you talking about?" Fauci asked the senator. "My financial disclosures are public knowledge and have been so."
"You are getting amazingly wrong information," he marveled at the time.
After Marshall's time ended, the White House chief medical adviser was caught on a hot mic continuing to vent: "What a moron," he said. "Jesus Christ."
Marshall, apparently, still cannot find them. The FAUCI Act would require the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) to provide public access of financial disclosures for administration officials such as Fauci as well as a list of government officials whose financials records are not public.
Marshall's latest dig at Fauci adds to the ongoing attacks against the nation's top infectious diseases expert by right-wingers in an effort to oppose public health measures and cover for the Trump administration's disastrous COVID-19 response.
During the same Senate hearing when Fauci clashed with Marshall last week, Fauci once again found himself sparring with Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) when he called the GOP senator out over his efforts to fundraise off of his ongoing attacks against him.
"You go to Rand Paul's website, and you see 'fire Dr. Fauci' with a little box that says 'contribute here!'" Fauci said during the hearing, holding up examples of Paul's campaign materials. "You can do $5, $10, $20, $100."
"So you are making a catastrophic epidemic for your political gain," he told the senator. "So I ask myself why would the senator want to do this?"
Fauci then noted that Paul's attacks against him have spurred an escalation in the death threats he has received from the "crazies out there," which include the arrest last month of an armed man in Iowa who claimed he was traveling from Sacramento to Washington, D.C. to kill Fauci.

A series of suspicious fires were lit on Saturday in the area of Tantragee Saddle, between Matai Valley and Brook Street.
Police were notified of the fires at 3.11pm on Saturday afternoon.
The Fire Service attended, and with the assistance of two helicopters with monsoon buckets, and Rural Fire ground crews, managed to extinguish the scrub fires before they had the chance to advance into nearby forestry blocks.
Saturday was a warm, sunny, spring day, and the Tantragee area is very popular with mountain bikers and walkers.
A number of cyclists were seen in the area at the time, and some of them were spoken to by Police.
However, Nelson Police are now appealing to anyone who was in the area of the Tantragee Saddle on Saturday afternoon, who may have seen any suspicious activity, to get in touch.
One person walking in the area has been spoken to by Police, but anyone else who saw any unusual or suspicious activity is urged to contact Detective Kelvin Heiford on (03) 545 9809.

Your Choices in 'Hogwarts Legacy' Will Impact the Story — Are There Multiple Endings?
Feb. 22 2023, Published 2:24 p.m. ET
J.K. Rowling has made numerous public anti-trans comments, and while she was not directly involved in the creation of Hogwarts Legacy, she is still likely to profit from the title.
Like other open-world RPG games, Hogwarts Legacy lets players make choices that sway the main story and its eventual conclusion. On a smaller scale, that same agency applies to how players decide to gain essential spells or complete optional quests with rewards best used for overcoming challenging bosses.
Choices made in side stories with one of the companion characters in Hogwarts Legacy could even grant players the Unforgivable Curses, revealing that making specific decisions matter in the long run.
As players head to the climax of Hogwarts Legacy, many have started asking if the game has multiple endings. Here's a breakdown of everything you need to know.
Does 'Hogwarts Legacy' have multiple endings?
We won't go deep into spoiler territory, but Hogwarts Legacy does have multiple endings. As of this writing, there are three endings, with the "Good" and "Evil" paths occurring near the end of the campaign.
Toward the end of the game, you'll need to fight your way to the Final Repository of Ancient Magic, where Professor Fig will ask you what you intend to do with it.
During this encounter, two dialogue options will pop up: "I intend to open it" and "I intend to keep it contained here."
If you open the Repository, the "Evil" ending will begin, while the containing it leads to the "Good" ending. Some aspects of the endings will occur in both, but they will initiate and conclude differently.
Later, you can get the universal conclusion considered as the "True Ending" after continuing your playthrough beyond the main scenario and winning the House Cup. Regardless of your choice, the post-game experience will be available and won't be impacted by your decisions.
Some players say the side stories in 'Hogwarts Legacy' were "better" than the main plot.
On Reddit, players have started discussing several ending plot points across the main story in Hogwarts Legacy and even hashed out the morality behind the "Evil" ending.
One Reddit user from another thread stated the main plot for Hogwarts Legacy wasn't bad, but they were more excited about the side stories with classmates.
"I love the quests a lot, but I wish they would have merged some of the student plots with the main one," said the Reddit user. "It felt wrong having no classmates with me fighting the final battle. Not to mention the writing on the Sebastian story line was better than the main plot IMO."
Others who liked the response seem to feel the same about the writing and character involvement. Unfortunately, the disjointed structure of the quests for fleshed-out characters in Hogwarts Legacy has kept them from intertwining into the main scenario, which feels to many like a missed opportunity.

BUSINESS PRESENTATION SKILLSLMA Sales Training UK"Integrated Sales Training" |
Many sales and support people are confident when talking on a one-to-one basis. When they have to trade up to an audience and
give a presentation to a group of people they are uncomfortable. Yet in today's world, large
amounts of business can be at stake. Presenting a persuasive business
case, effectively and professionally, is now a key requisite for any sales, support person or manager.
In theory, it's very simple, you may well have a product, a service, or a business idea of faultless and foolproof brilliance and an
audience of reasonably well disposed potential customers to sell to. You tell them
the facts and they will be as enthusiastic as you are. After all you're convinced of its value - so naturally they will be to. If only it were
that easy. As most people will tell you, making an effective business presentation is an activity fraught with so many pitfalls and unseen black holes that it can ruin all the hard work put
into the project.
You may be a good salesman, a first class pre-sales support person or an excellent manager, but if you lack conviction when faced with an audience, you will flop. It's an expensive flop - if you are addressing your own staff, your internal credibility hangs in the balance; if it's a client pitch, business prospects are at stake! Everyone should be a master of the fundamentals of presentation since delivering a message to a group of people is something they must be able to do in a range of circumstances and for a variety of reasons. In the late 1990's, new technology made the preparation of a presentation easier, but the skills needed to deliver effectively still need to be taught and practiced.

Prepare notes for a presentation. | |
Use the most appropriate visual aids, including LCD Projection. | |

Present a persuasive business case. |
Instructor sessions are supported by individual participant presentations. All presentations are related to the business
environment in which the participants are involved. This is to ensure relevance to real world
situations. Where possible, participants attend the course with a pre-prepared presentation of
approx 15 minutes duration produced from a topic list agreed between the client and the tutor.
Each participant makes at least one full presentation during a course. (two on a two day course). Extensive use is made of CCTV to provide
immediate feedback and evaluation. Full use is made of all popular visual aids i.e. OHP, Slides, Flip-chart, Computer generated graphics via PowerPoint
etc, so that participants can have the opportunity to learn how to use them effectively. Individual video tapes are given to participants so that they
can also view their performance after the course has finished.

Kapalua Bay is not very far from where we live. It's another great spot to catch the sunset. The building you see in this painting is Merriman's Restaurant. This sweet little bay is a popular place for young couples getting married and is one of my favorite places to snorkel. The water here is beautiful, clear, blue, very inviting. It's a great beach for swimming or just relaxing. The bay is a classic crescent shape and is protected by a coral reef and rock outcrops on both sides of the bay.
NOTE; This painting, along with my entire inventory and art studio, was destroyed in the Lahaina fire on August 8th, 2023.

Klotho which was originally identified as an anti-aging protein is emerging as a substance with multiple effects on many systems including mineral homeostasis. In addition to its membrane-bound function as a co-receptor for fibroblast growth factor-23, soluble Klotho exerts effects as a circulating substance in plasma and urine. Novel features of this system include its autocrine-paracrine-endocrine glycan-modifying enzymatic function in the urinary lumen on calcium and phosphate transporters. Klotho induces phosphaturia by inhibiting the proximal tubule Na-coupled phosphate transporter. The action of Klotho is enzymatic in nature which includes alteration of transport activity and the more traditional means of regulation by trafficking. Klotho reduces calciuria by its distal as a sialidase directly on the apical calcium channel. Desialidation of the channel exposes glycan residues that promote binding to galectin-1, resulting in stabilization of residence on the plasma membrane. Through its systematic as well as renal actions, Klotho is emerging as a principal calciophosphoregulatory hormone.

Establishing posting guidelines?? Let's have some decency.
Posted By: ah_clem In Response To: Establishing posting guidelines?? Let's have some decency. (Daniel Murphy)
Date: Monday, 14 October 2013, at 2:48 p.m.
I agree with Jason and Daniel. I record and analyze virtually all my matches and save them to the XG database. I average about 8.5 PR - I can't say I'm particularly proud of it, but I am not at all ashamed of it. It is what it is and I don't care who knows it, although I highly doubt anybody other than me cares. I've got some >15 PR matches - wanna see them? Just ask.
Were I to play in a public tournament I would assume that all the matches would be publicly available. So I don't get the secrecy or the "embarassment" - if you don't want anyone to know you blundered either practice to the point where you don't blunder or don't play in public. And if all the matches were out there for all to see, a PR in two digits wouldn't be even remarkable much less "embarassing".
I full support D when he declines to post a match after being asked not to by one of the players, but this should be the exception not the norm.

Looks good
Recycled lid looks great on the midi box. Love it much.
Practical, useful and pretty crate
I like that there are many colours to mix and match. Somehow all choices of colours will end up looking quite matchy. The 4 midi crates are placed on my scanteak ladder shelf that we bought years ago. The crates now hold toys and some Knick knacks the kids like to dump in. I would like to think the mess now looks a little more organised with a bit of an old school feel. Shld the crates get too dusty overtime, I think I'll just rinse off the dust n dry it up.
Delivery was faster then expected
I like that the boxes is can be stored away easily as it is collapsible.
Love the fun colours Easy to "set up" and collapse Helps the insides of a closet look much neater.
Aykasa Folding Midibox Crate
Not only does it help with organising stuff, it also looks aesthetically pleasing! This is my second purchase and I'm alr looking at making a third!

Okay, here we go — I just loaded the final version of Shines Now to KDP. All ready to go, comfortably before the due date. I'll load the finished version to Draft to Digital for distribution via other venders shortly and have that ready to go as well. The big difference is, if one forgets to strip out all Amazon links, the book will be kicked back out of several other platforms. Which makes perfect sense; it's just I have to remember to clear out the hyperlinks because ouch, not a great thing to forget.
Linda S — the final proofreader for this one — noted that this is her favorite Death's Lady story. I hope you all enjoy it too!
A long time ago, Kuomat walked into the woods, abandoning his place in the world of men. For years he's lived as an outlaw, with little to do with ordinary townsfolk. But when Jenna asked him for help in the name of Death's Lady and of the king of Talasayan, Kuomat chose to involve himself in the affairs of the great.
That did not go unnoticed.
Now Kuomat has one last chance to step out of the forest and return to the world … if he can bring himself to take it.

Report No. 26
Clause 22
General.-This is based on section 30 of the Provincial Act and sections 20 and 116(2) of the Presidency Act.
Conclusiveness of order.-(a) Section 116(2) of the Presidency Act contains a special provision that "a copy of the Official Gazette containing any notice of an order of adjudication shall be conclusive evidence of the order having been duly made and of its date". This is based on section 132 of the (English) Bankruptcy Act, 1883, replaced by section 137 of the Act of 1914. There is no similar provision in the Provincial Act1-2. The reason behind the English provision has been very lucidly explained by James L.J. in Learoyd's case..3 A man cannot be duly adjudged a bankrupt unless he has committed an act of bankruptcy. That is the "great requisite of all", and that is why the determination is "conclusive".
(b) The provision gives rise to a serious question as regards the rights of transferees from the insolvent, where those transfers from the foundation on which an order of adjudication is made. It has been held by the English courts on a construction of the corresponding provision of the English statutes, that if a debtor is adjudged insolvent on a finding that a transfer by him is an act of insolvency as for example, a fraudulent preference, that finding will be conclusive and binding on the transferee, and that he will thereafter be precluded for ever from raising the question as to whether in fact the transfer is an act or insolvency, vide ex parte Learoyd4-5-6.
This view must clearly entail great hardship on the transferee who is not a party to the insolvency petition, and who has no opportunity of being heard on the merits of his transfer. It has been stated in justification of the law as laid down in ex parte Learoyd7 that a transferee is not without a remedy as he can appeal against the order of adjudication, he being undoubtedly a person "aggrieved" by it, but an appeal, having regard to its scope, cannot be substituted for a right to take part in proceedings and adduce evidence. Nor is the right to move for annulment of adjudication on the ground that the debtor should not have been adjudged insolvent an effective substitute for the right to take part in the trial, as the order of adjudication might be founded on several acts of insolvency.
In Official Assignee of Madras v. O.R.M.O.R.S. Firm, 1927 ILR 50 Mad 541, it was held by the Madras High Court that a finding that the insolvent has committed a fraudulent preference would not be binding on the transferee if he was not a party to the order of adjudication, and that when the proceedings were taken by the Official Assignee to impugn the transfer as a fraudulent preference, it was open to the transferee to plead that the transaction was not hit by the section. The court declined to follow the decision in ex parte Learoyd.
However, the point came up for consideration before the Privy Council in Mahomed Siddique Yousuf v. Official Assignee, Calcutta, 70 IA 93: ILR (1943) 2 Cal 517 PC: AIR 1943 PC 130, and therein the decision in ex parte Learoyd was followed, and it was held that a third person was bound by the finding in the adjudication order. The Madras High Court had again occasion to consider the same question in Official Receiver v. Gopala Krishniah, ILR 1945 Mad 541: AIR 1945 Mad 66. It reaffirmed the decision in Official Assignee of Madras v. O.R.M.O.R.S. Firm, and distinguished the decision in Mahomed Siddique Yousuf v. Official Assignee, Calcutta, on the ground that it arose under the Presidency Act and that there being no provision in the Provincial Act similar to section 116(2) of the Presidency Act, the order of adjudication was not conclusive so far as the transferee is concerned on the question whether the transfer was hit by the Act.
(c) Notice to transferee.-It cannot be denied that transferees would be put to a hardship if they are barred by an order passed without hearing them. To avoid this hardship, a provision has been made elsewhere8 for giving notice to the transferee. With this safeguard, there does not appear to be any objection to the adoption of section 116(2) of the Presidency Act.9
Sub-clause (1).-The words "every order of adjudication" used in the Presidency Act, are better than the words "an order of adjudication" in the Provincial Act, and have been adopted.
The Presidency Act requires the date of presentation of the petition also to be mentioned. This is a useful provision, and has been adopted.
Sub-clause (2).-Needs no further comments.
1. The Supreme Court has in Ramaswami v. Official Receiver, (1960) 1 SCR 616 (641) decided that the English Rule does not apply in the mofussil.
2. See also discussion in Kehar Singh v. Raghbir, AIR 1960 Punj 24.
3. Cf. Mulla, (1958), p. 743.
4. Ex. parte Learoyd, (1878) 10 Ch D 3.
5. See discussion in Mulla, (1958), p. 743-746, and p. 178, para. 180.
6. Also see Williams, pp. 239 (485).
7. (1878) 10 Ch D 3.
8. See clause 10.
9. Mulla has suggested adoption of the English rule. See Mulla, (1958), p. (viii) and discussion p. 179, para. 180, p. 195, para. 207 and pp. 743-749, para. 788.

What is Boat Wrapping?
For some years, boat wrapping has become a valid way to personalize your boat without the need for painting, which often ends up being a long and difficult task. In fact, this advanced technique allows you to restyle both the external and internal parts of your boat, in a quick and easy way, without spending enormous amounts, reducing the implementation time and making the boat absolutely unique.
But what does boat wrapping consist of?
Just as for cars, it is a coating of the hull with adhesive films suitable for the nautical world and customizable, which last over time without the need for special treatments. You can wrap the boat both during its design phase and maintenance phase, or when you intend to give it a new look.
In short, it is an extremely valid option, an alternative to traditional decorative solutions based on the use of paints or enamels. A quick way to have an original boat, thanks to the great variety of colours, with the possibility of obtaining three-dimensional effects, but also to protect the hull from wear and tear over time and to renew it.

The three economists were awarded the prize for their mathematical modeling which attempts to forecast asset prices, especially stock prices.
According to the Nobel committee:
Beginning in the 1960s, Eugene Fama and several collaborators demonstrated that stock prices are extremely difficult to predict in the short run, and that new information is very quickly incorporated into prices. These findings not only had a profound impact on subsequent research but also changed market practice. The emergence of so-called index funds in stock markets all over the world is a prominent example.These models are pretty much complex nonsense, at their best doing little but mirroring stock market activity, rather than forecasting it. Any half way decent trader understands Shiller's point with regard to the corporate dividend price ratio, it is really a spin-off of the price-earnings ratio, which was published daily for stocks in the WSJ for decades before Shiller's"discovery"
If prices are nearly impossible to predict over days or weeks, then shouldn't they be even harder to predict over several years? The answer is no, as Robert Shiller discovered in the early 1980s. He found that stock prices fluctuate much more than corporate dividends, and that the ratio of prices to dividends tends to fall when it is high, and to increase when it is low. This pattern holds not only for stocks, but also for bonds and other assets.
It should also be noted that Shiller is part of the "Yale school" of Keynesian economic thinking, which is from where Federal Reserve chair nominee Janet Yellen hails, and thus suggests the Nobel committee's continued infatuation with the Obama administration.
Here's Frank Shostak on some the problems with Shiller thinking:
In his book Irrational Exuberance, Robert Shiller, a professor of economics at Yale, attributes the observed stock market mania to investor's psychology. Shiller believes that stock market players are driven by impulse and herd behavior. The attempt to explain the present stock market behavior by means of these factors presents investors as automatons who react mechanically.
This view is completely misguided. Investor's actions, like that of all market actors, are conscious and purposeful. It is not some mysterious impulse or herd behaviour that causes investors to generate massive rises in prices that are out of touch with equilibrium, or fundamentals, but rather investors' conscious actions.[...]contrary to Shiller, the present sharp deviation of stock prices from their fundamentals is the result of loose monetary policies of the US central bank, not a failure of human psychology.
As for Fama, he is most often thought of as the father of the efficient-market hypothesis. See Robert Murphy on Fama's delusions, here.

Shahzain Bugti seperates himself from government allies
ISLAMABAD (92 News) - Jamhoori Watan Party (JWP) chief Nawabzada Shahzain Bugti has announced to separate himself from the government allies.
Talking to media to Sunday, he said that the government did not fulfill its promises which it made with them. "We are seeing current political situation of the country. The government did not do anything except making promises. The way he criticizes opposition leaders that is not ethical," he added.
He said that there are more than 2, 90,000 refugees in Balochistan. "There is also issue of missing persons in Balochistan. Resolving this issue was assured by the government. Masses are hurt," he maintained.
Bugti said that issues of peace have not been resolved inBalochistan. "We stand with PDM," he added.
On the other hand, PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto said that he is thankful to Shahzain Bugti. "Today the country is facing difficult situation. Questions are being raised on future of Pakistan and future of democracy. Shahzain Bugti has taken a brave decision," he concluded.

Hi Sean
Have you ever thought of running for a position within the church? With your intellect and conviction I think you would thrive. Think of what you could accomplish as a delegate at the GC? I would love to see ID established as a discipline some day at Adventist institutions. I think you have the ability rimless that charge nut it will likely require your pollical involvement rather being marginalized.
Just a thought.

@ Sean
I enjoyed your article. As I've stated before, I think Intelligent Design is a more modern form of Deism and do not think it is irrational. However, as science on an ongoing basis shows what matters are explainable by cause and effect, less is attributable to conscious design. The question of course is what are the limits of science in this regard? For example, will it ever be able to explain First Cause/
Below is a more fulsome quote of Professor Townes, an self acknowledged Protestant Christian. Please note what he has to say about literal creation and evolution. Do you think he is being more reasonable than you on the nature of design?
"I do believe in both a creation and a continuous effect on this universe and our lives, that God has a continuing influence – certainly his laws guide how the universe was built. But the Bible's description of creation occurring over a week's time is just an analogy, as I see it. The Jews couldn't know very much at that time about the lifetime of the universe or how old it was. They were visualizing it as best they could and I think they did remarkably well, but it's just an analogy.
Should intelligent design be taught alongside Darwinian evolution in schools as religious legislators have decided in Pennsylvania and Kansas?
I think it's very unfortunate that this kind of discussion has come up. People are misusing the term intelligent design to think that everything is frozen by that one act of creation and that there's no evolution, no changes. It's totally illogical in my view. Intelligent design, as one sees it from a scientific point of view, seems to be quite real. This is a very special universe: it's remarkable that it came out just this way. If the laws of physics weren't just the way they are, we couldn't be here at all. The sun couldn't be there, the laws of gravity and nuclear laws and magnetic theory, quantum mechanics, and so on have to be just the way they are for us to be here.
Charles Townes
'Faith is necessary for the scientist even to get started, and deep faith is necessary for him to carry out his tougher tasks. Why? Because he must have confidence that there is order in the universe and that the human mind – in fact his own mind – has a good chance of understanding this order.'
-Charles Townes, writing in "The Convergence of Science and Religion," IBM's Think magazine, March-April 1966
Some scientists argue that "well, there's an enormous number of universes and each one is a little different. This one just happened to turn out right." Well, that's a postulate, and it's a pretty fantastic postulate – it assumes there really are an enormous number of universes and that the laws could be different for each of them. The other possibility is that ours was planned, and that's why it has come out so specially. Now, that design could include evolution perfectly well. It's very clear that there is evolution, and it's important. Evolution is here, and intelligent design is here, and they're both consistent.
They don't have to negate each other, you're saying. God could have created the universe, set the parameters for the laws of physics and chemistry and biology, and set the evolutionary process in motion, But that's not what the Christian fundamentalists are arguing should be taught in Kansas.
People who want to exclude evolution on the basis of intelligent design, I guess they're saying, "Everything is made at once and then nothing can change." But there's no reason the universe can't allow for changes and plan for them, too. People who are anti-evolution are working very hard for some excuse to be against it. I think that whole argument is a stupid one. Maybe that's a bad word to use in public, but it's just a shame that the argument is coming up that way, because it's very misleading. "

Re Sean's Quote
"Yes, I am suggesting that our scientists should also be theologians to some degree. I'm also suggesting that our theologians be scientists to some degree as well. There should be no distinct dividing line between the two disciplines…"
Hello Sean
First of all, thank you Holly for your comments. You have always treated me with civility and charity for which I am most grateful.
Secondly, on reflection, I do hope I was not strident or offensive in my recent remarks. I am a guest here and should behave with the utmost respect regarding my Adventist hosts. After all I was proposing the Chair of ID at an 'Adventist' institution! What gall and temerity from an agnostic!
However something Dr. Kime said struck a very strange chord in me: that a Chair in ID at Harvard would be a quantum leap ( forward – my edit) while such a Chair would be a step backward at LSU. I' m very sorry Wes, but for me to honestly investigate reality such double standard is not acceptable.
I am sad today, because I think I'm coming to the end of my Adventist journey. I really did see ID as a sort of bridge between your faith and objective inquiry about a 'Grand' Design. (apologies Mr. Hawkings). Oh Wes , perhaps I am ontological Don Quixote after all, comically tilting towards immovable Adventist windmills. 🙁 .
However all is not forlorn because I've made excellent friends of the heart here. ;). I won't forget you.
Good luck in your pursuit of God.

Re Wes's Quote
". But for a Christian, a great devolution, a great recidivation, a tragic forfeiture, foreclosure, worse. If I were to use the vocabulary of some of our recent posters, I'd not put it as delicately."
Hi Wes and Sean
I just read again portions on ID from Sean's website Detecting Design. I am very confused by both of your responses. Why the heck is Sean promoting ID as a scientific theory if this is such a Christian retreat? Perhaps you two differ here? I apologize if I am missing the obvious but I see a tremendous disconnect between what Sean is saying about ID and what he is prepared to do to promote it within the subset of Adventist education.

Re Sean's Quote
"Public association is one thing. Private association is another. While many do not feel at liberty to publicly associate themselves with our work here (for obvious reasons), most who still believe in SDA fundamentals (and who are aware of the longstanding situation at LSU and other places) feel that our work in providing enhanced transparency for what is being taught to our young people in our schools was/is necessary on some level."
Hi Sean
The irony here is that those that are supporting institutional enhanced transparency are hiding behind cloaks of anonymity. That's not how you, I, Wes, Bob Ryan, Wes, Bill Sorenson and many others here behave. Imagine if Jesus hid behind a cloak and didn't proclaim his nature. What legacy of respect would he have left?
Conviction requires courage period.

Re Intelligent Design
Gentleman, thanks to all for your fulsome replies.
Yes Wes, I remember your cogent analysis of November 14/11. I appreciared it then and its reiteration now. indeed I was waiting to hear from others especially Sean whose site is named Detecting Design. And, here I agree with Bob, ID
does not necessarily rule out any particular design i. e. fiat
creation ot theistic evolution.
But quite frankly I am disaapointed with Sean's response, not Sean himself for whom I have deep admiration, because I see this as a step backward. Why? Because if you burn the bridge between science and biblical faith it will not be science that suffers.
Ironically Sean makes many fine, cogent arguments for design in nature so I find his reluctance to promote it formally in Adventist education troubling. Respectfully, I don't think serious enquiry about reality can creep around the periphery or sneak in through the back door. I'm afraid I see a double standard here.
Yes Wes, I understand why Adventists are nervous on this issue. But if one is seeking the truth about reality one can't wall it in or burn bridges of enquiry. Wes, perhaps the Hellenic maxim should have not so much: Know thyself, but rather Think for thyself. My park bench in Pugwash is a welcome one but does not feature ontological dividers. It is well designed for truth seekers.

Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve. 57 Squadron Royal Air Force.
Died Monday 21 December 1942. Aged 20.
Son of Arthur Edward Drain and Kathleen Drain of Bonnington, Kent.
Buried Geraardsbergen Communal Cemetery, Oost-Vlaanderen, Belgium. Grave Ref: Collective Grave 6-9.
Commemorated on the Woodchurch, Ashford, Kent civic war memorial, and at Sint-Maria-Lierde, Oost-Vlaanderen, Belgium.
At 1737 hours on Monday 21 December, 1942, Lancaster bomber W4234, "DX-P" took off from its base at Scampton, Lincolnshire, loaded with hundreds of 4lb incendiary bombs and was part of a large force of over 100 Lancaster, Wellington and Stirling bombers that headed for Munich, Germany leaving from various bases in Eastern England in the early evening. The crew of "DX-P" consisted of five members of the R.A.F.(V.R.), with the other two crewmen being members of the R.A.A.F. and R.N.Z.A.F. Flying Officer (Pilot) Ronald Bowles, aged 22 from Ealing Middlesex was the pilot, Flying Officer (Navigator) Alexander Mulholland, aged 28 from Aberdeen was the navigator, the flight engineer was 28 year old Australian Sergeant, Cecil Stubbs from Newcastle N.S.W. Sergeant Maurice Pearman, aged 20 from Anerley, Kent was the Bomb Aimer, the Wireless Operator and Air Gunner was 22 year Sergeant Arthur Abraham from Coventry, the Rear Gunner was Sergeant Roden B. Pickford from New Zealand who miraculously survived the crash. Completing the crew was the mid upper gunner, John Drain.
The force bombers was detected at about 23.30 ET by the German coastal Freya-radars, which was the sign for the Messerschmitt 110-crews to take off and head toward the skies over Northern France and Belgium. At that stage of the war, these areas were defended by the Gruppen of the Nachtjagdgeschwadern 1 and 4. Several night fighter aces, including Hauptmann Wilhelm Herget (I./NJG 4) and Leutnant (later Major) Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer (II./NJG 1) were searching the skies.
Shortly before midnight the people living in the rural area around Lierde were awakened by short salvoes of 20mm cannons. Only a few had the chance to see how a glowing torch roared towards the earth and ended in a tremendous explosion at the hamlet of Kakebeke at Sint-Maria-Lierde.
It took some time before the first farmers realised that an airmen was lying wounded further down the road. It was the rear gunner, Sergeant Roden B. Pickford from New Zealand. Shocked and dazed Roden was taken prisoner, and once the fire was stopped in the misty morning, the occupying forces took him towards what was found of his dead comrades. Roden had formed a crew with them, which went through some very difficult raids. Joining 57 Squadron in October 1942, they flew towards Cologne and Stuttgart. Being equipped with the Lancaster they crossed the Alps several times to bomb the cities of Genoa and Turin.
Hauptmann Wilhelm Herget of (I./NJG 4) and Leutnant Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer of (II./NJG 1) and their crews claimed to have shot down Lancaster bomber W4234, "DX-P." Claims for 'kills' by Luftwaffe aircrews were rigorously scrutinised before being credited with them by the Luftwaffe Headquarters staff at Berlin, which ordered both crews to toss a coin and Herget won. None of them ever saw the terrible effects of their acts. Fritz Rumpelhardt, who was Schnaufer's radar operator, only visited the first kill they made. The sight of it made them never to return to their victims. Both Schnaufer and Herget survived the war, respectively scoring 121 and 73 victories.
After the compiler of these brief commemorations had studied relevant British & German data about the loss of Johns' aircraft from about 1977, and coming to the conclusion that it was in fact Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer and his crew that had shot it down. It was good to see that former Bomber Command Navigator Peter Hinchliffe, O.B.E. in his book Schnaufer: Ace of Diamonds which was published in 1999 came to the same conclusion.
Officially credited with 121 confirmed aerial victories Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer remains the most successful night-fighter ever, and bearing in mind how modern wars are now fought, he will probably always remain so. Unlike many of his peers, he survived the Second World War and eventually returned to the Schnaufer family wine business. His end came when, during a wine-purchasing visit to France, his open top sports car was in collision with a lorry on the main road south from Bordeaux. The lorry had failed to observe right of way and entered the main road illegally. Heavy gas cylinders from the lorry fell on to Schnaufer's car, at least one of them hitting him on the head. He died in hospital on Saturday 15 July 1950, two days after the accident.
In September 1999, Belgian Aviation History Association Archaeology Team member Dirk De Quick organised a recovery operation of what was left of the Johns' Lancaster.
In May 2000, an impressive monument was inaugurated near the crash site of Johns' Lancaster, in the form of a stèle with seven original 4lb incendiary counterweights which were found during the recovery operation. Each of these stands for one of the crew. They were also represented by the relatives of several members of the crew – including Roden Pickford's, who unfortunately had passed away a few years before.
