Faq India Tour
India welcomes visitors from aboard and strives to send them back as friends. The following information could help the people willing to tour India. The below mentioned information help them to avoid those common pitfalls which might mar a visit rather than make it memorable. A little attention to following information, mostly called as 'frequently asked questions' (FAQs), turn out to be a great help to plan a seamless India trip.
Accommodation: Most cities have excellent to average hotel accommodation. Advance booking is essential particularly during the tourist season. Good, clean eating places are available in most of the towns of India. But villages and remote places may not be able to provide food to ones choice. Many railway stations have decent retiring rooms which could be hired for a short stay by bona-fide railway passengers. All foreigners, except those specially exempted, are required to settle their hotel bills directly in foreign exchange. Indian rupees are accepted if a certificate of encashment in India of foreign currency or travelers' cheque should be produced. Tipping is expected for most hotel and restaurant services in India. About 10% of the bill is a reasonable tip. In many of the large cities, the big hotels include a service charge in their bills but an additional tip is generally expected.
Air Air India is India's domestic carrier and flies to over 66 destinations within the country and to several destinations abroad. The Air India has the largest fleet in South Asia and operates Boeing 737's and A300 airbuses. Indian Airlines also offers some other seasonal travel schemes. Vayudoot is India's feeder airline and connects several small towns to the cities. Helicopter services are also available to Gangtok from Bagdogra and to Schillong and Tura from Guwahati. Details are available from travel agents or the Air India offices on request. All payments of foreigners, however, have to be made in the foreign exchange. There are many homegrown India air carrier companies like Jet Airways, Indigo, Spice Jet etc and connect may tier-II cities with the metro cities.
Banks There are 14 banks owned and operated by the public sector in India. Beside this, there is a State Bank of India which has branches all over the country and several smaller banks. Almost all towns and important tourist centers have bank branches. Apart from these public centre banks, private Indian banks like ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Yes Bank, Vysya Bank. IndusInd Bank etc have also expanded into many clusters. Certain international banks operate in the four metropolitan cities of Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai. The international airports and many five star hotels also have bank counters to help visitors. Nowhere in India are you far away from a bank.
Cigarettes, cigars, tobacco, liquor Visitors may bring into India: duty-free, 200 cigarettes or 50 cigars or 250 grams of tobacco and up to 0.95 liters of liquor. Prohibition (the banning of alcoholic drinks) is a matter of nation policy and is in force in some form or another in most states in India. Foreign visitors can get an All-India liquor permit from Indian diplomatic missions or tourist offices in their respective countries. Or, they can obtain such permits from the government of India Tourism offices in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata or Chennai. The permits will be valid for the period of stay indicated in the visa. Rules regarding prohibition differ from state to state and the tourist in India is advised to check with the nearest local tourism office of the state they are traveling in. Even in a state that may be considered liberal, possession of a permit might be essential or there might be dry days.
Clothing Light and loose cotton clothing will be comfortable for travel during summer and warm woolens are required in winter. Most towns have good laundry and dry cleaning facility with 6 to 12 hour delivery services.
Credit cards Credit cards (American Express, Diners Club, Master Card and Visa Card) are usually accepted by Indian hotels, Indian travel agencies, Indian tour operators, Indian tourist car and coach operators , Indian airlines , Indian restaurants, Government handicraft emporia, boutiques, jewellery stores, big departmental stores, shops selling handicrafts and tourist artifacts. However, it is advisable to carry some Indian currency when visiting places where credit cards are not accepted.
Currency The Indian Rupee, the Indian monetary unit, consists of hundred paisa.USD1 is approximately INR 60 and British Pound 1 approximately Rs 80. Indian coins come in denominations of 1, 2, 5 and 10 rupees. Currency notes are in denomination of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500 and 1000 rupees. Storage of small change is a problem from time to time in India. So, it is advisable to carry a generous supply of coins and small currency. There is no restriction on the amount of foreign currency of travelers, cheques that may be brought into the country .A declaration of such amounts, however, should be made in the currency declaration form given to the tourist on arrival.(An exemption up to 5000 is allowed. But such money should be in the form of currency notes, bank notes and travelers cheques only). The CDF is necessary for a tourist to take out India and unspent currency brought in, for India's currency regulation stipulates the amount of currency that may be taken out of the country should not exceed the amount brought in and declared to the customs on arrival.No India currency can be brought in or taken out of the country. This does not apply to Rupee Travelers' cheques. All money in the form of drafts, bills or cheques should be changed into Indian currency only through authorized money changers and bank. Changing money through unauthorized person is illegal and is an offence under the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, 1973. All banks, most big hotels and big shops are authorized to exchange travelers cheques. When exchanging your money, always insist on a receipt. Keep all your exchange receipts with you as, without them, you cannot reconvert your unspent money when leaving India. International credit cards are accepted at select places. Even through shops and banks accept travelers cheques in major cities and tourist towns, it would be advantageous to carry Indian currency also.
Customer Formalities Beside cigarettes, alcohol, and photography equipment, which have been dealt with under separate heads, a tourist enjoys duty-free concessions for reasonable qualities of perfumes and clothes, personal jewallery, a pair of binocular, a portable musical instrument, a portable wireless receiving set, a portable gramophone with 10 records, a portable sound-recording apparatus, provided it is not a two-in-one, a portable typewriter and a perambulator. A tent and other camping equipment and one piece of sport equipment, form a choice of fishing tackle, a sporting fire-arm with 50 cartridges, non-powered bicycle, canoe or kayak less than 5 ? metres long, a pair of skis and two tennis rackets, may also be brought into India, besides travel souvenirs not exceeding Rs 500/- and professional equipment brought in for purposes of educational tours. But all the items listed above have to be endorsed on the passport and taken back by the tourist when leaving India. Tourists of foreign origin who are visiting India for a period of over 24 hours are permitted to bring articles up to a value of Rs 2,000/- for personal use or to be given as gifts. Tourist of India origin can bring in articles worth Rs 2000/- to be given as gift. Vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles with motor and trailers imported under a trip-to-que or carnet, issued by an Automobile Association or Club that is internationally recognized and that belong to the Alliance International De Tourism, Geneva, are allowed duty free for a period of six months. Articles, the import of which totally prohibited/restricted, include: live plants, gold and silver bullion, gold coins and silver coins not in the current use, and dangerous drugs. If a visitor does not want to pay duty on any dutiable article he is bringing in but will not need while in India. He may leave it bonded with the customer authorities, provided it is not too bulky. He may then clear it from bond when departing.
Electricity 220 volt 50 cls, single phase, is the standard domestic supply. For industry use, the supply requirement is, by and large, 415-430 volt 50 cls three phase. But voltages tend to fluctuate tremendously, especially during summer power shortages.
Export Regulation Re-export of all articles which are entered in the TBRE (Tourist Baggage Re-Export) form is obligatory. Other articles which the tourist may taken out of India include god jewallery valued at not more than Rs 2000 and precious stone and other jewallery of not more than Rs 10,000 in value, and souvenirs. Arms and ammunition for personal use and articles made of peacock-feathers may also be taken out of the country in reasonable quantities. Certain antiquities and art objects more than 100 years old may not be exported. The Director of Antiquities, Delhi, or the superintending archaeologist of the Archaeological Survey of India's Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata or Srinagar branches will advise the tourist on whether their purchases are considered antiquities or not. The export of ivory articles and skins of all animals, in whatever form they may be, is banned.
Food Supplies Bread, butter, cheese, biscuits and fruits are available in plenty and it would be advisable to carry a small stock of supplies to take care of emergency situations. Milk powder or condensed milk, tea bags, instant coffee, sugar and a thermos of hot water will enable one to have a regular supply of tea or coffee.
Health Regulations No vaccinations certificates is required to entre into India but a valid International certificate of vaccinations against yellow fever is to be provided by persons arriving from areas considered infected with yellow fever. They may otherwise be detained in isolation for six days from the day of last possible exposure to infection.
Hunting Hunting is generally frowned on and the shooting of several species of animals and birds is prohibited. For the latest information on what may be hunted and what may not, the offices of the Government of India Tourism Development or the state offices of the Wildlife Department may be approached.
Languages Hindi is the language spoken in many parts of India. It is understood almost in all parts of India. English will get you around most urban and tourist centre in India.
Leaving India When leaving India by rail or road, all persons, expect nationals of Bhutan and Nepal, have to fill in an embarkation card. Before departure, all visitors other than tourists who have registration certificates, have to get their certificates endorsed by the appropriate authorities. For holders of the tourist or transit visa, there are no exit formalities. Holders of entry visas having Registration certificates, however, have to obtain, before departure, exit endorsements from the Registration Officer of the district in which they were registered. The Superintendents of Police in all district headquarters are also foreigner's registration officers. An Income Tax Clearance Certificate from the foreign sections of the Income Tax Department in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata or Chennai is also necessary for visitors who were employed in India and whose stay exceeded 90 days. Foreign Travel Tax of Rs 500/- has to be paid by passengers leaving India from a custom airport/seaport. The tax is Rs 200/- for journeys of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. All the taxes are subject to change as per new rulings of the government.
Lost Property In case of loss due to theft, a complaint must be filed at the nearest police station. At the same time have an endorsed copy of FIR to avoid problems when leaving the country. Do not sell any equipment if it is endorsed on your passport.
Media India has a number of English-language dailies and magazines catering to varied interests of tastes. The Times of India, The Hindustan Times, The Telegraph and The Statesman are the leading news papers in the north India and The Hindu is the leading daily in the south India. The south India based Indian Express, however, is the only paper that is published in all parts of India except in the east India. Frontline and India Today are the leading news magazines and Sunday and The Week are good feature magazines. International editions of Times and Newsweek are available in news-stands in all major book-stalls. There are also several newspapers and magazines that are published in vernacular languages and available throughout the country. India also has a wide network of radio and television stations. TV programs are on almost throughout the day. Most programs are in Hindi and the regional languages though newscasts are also in English and a few English programs are telecast after peak viewing hours. Satellite TV is a new entrant on the India media scene and it provides entertainment throughout the day and night.
Medicines It is advisable to carry personal medicines for common ailments and anti-allergens. Most towns have good doctors and hospitals. All towns in India have an adequate number of medical shops and pharmacies which are fairly well stocked. In major towns at least one drug store remains open 24 hours of the day. Every town has a government hospital with basic essential facilities. Apart from this there are several nursing homes in all towns.
Numbers and Measurements India has now fully adopted the metric system. Weights, distances and volumes are measured in the grams, kilograms, metres, kilometers and liters. But it is not uncommon for 'mile' or 'feet' or 'pound' to crop up in conversion, for people still refer to the foot, pound and mile system. Temperature in India is officially measured in degree centigrade but is spoken in both measures- (100C=212F; 0C=32F). Indians talk of large number in term of lakhs and crores. A lakh is one hundred thousand and is written 1,00,000, while a crore is 100 million or 100 lakhs and is written 1,00,00,000.
Photography Films, black and white, and colour, is available in the large towns and cities and competent and quick developing of both is undertaken. Now-a-days, digital cameras are in vogue. Mobile phones are also being used to capture photographs. Rules for photography are exhibited at the gate of the most of the monuments to be visited on sightseeing tour. A prescribed fee for taking photographs may be charged in some temples, sanctuaries and monument sights. Where the monuments have been taken over by the State Archaeological Department or the Archaeological Survey of India, the permission of the respective department-in-charge might have to be sought for taking photographs. Those wishing to use tripod and artificial lighting to take photographs have to get sanction from the Archaeological Survey of India. Permission also has to be obtained for movies cameras other than 8 mm cameras and handheld VHS videos cameras. Photographs at airport, railway station and bridges are prohibited. Signboards prohibiting photography are displayed at vital installation and certain religious places. Observe these rules strictly to avoid confiscation of camera and films. One camera with 12 plates or 5 rolls of films and one miniature cinematograph camera with two reels of films may be imported into the country, duty-free.
Police Each state in India has its own police force and police stations are located at all important places. The police may not be fluent in English but they know enough of the language to understand your problems and be the help.
Rail Indian Railways, the fourth largest rail network in the world with a route length of 62,486km spread over 7,076 stations connections various part of India. It offers an 'Indrail Pass' facility to foreign nationals and non-resident Indians, holding valid passport. Railways have air-conditioned First Class, A.C. Sleeper, First Class and Second Class Sleeper apart from unreserved First Class accommodation. However the purchase of Indian rail passes does not guarantee rail reservations, which have to be made separately for each journey. As some train do not have A/C First Class coaches, passengers should check if this class of travel available to the places selected before buying the tickets. Circular Journey Tickets that cover several stations save you the bother of buying tickets at every stage. These are issued by each zonal railway.
Restricted Areas Certain areas are restricted to international visitors and Indians. These are border areas and would require special permits to visits. Restricted areas' permits are issued by all Indian Diplomatic or Consular offices abroad or while in India, they may be obtained from the Deputy Secretary, Ministry of Home Affairs (f1), Government Of India, Lok Nayak Bhawan, Khan Market, New Delhi 110003. Check with the local tourist authority for details regarding the local officers authorized to issue permits if you are in close proximity to a restricted area. The states that have restricted areas are: Nicobar Island, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Lakshadweep, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Rajasthan, Sikkim, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh and the hill district of West Bengal.
Road Buses are preferred means for travel to the suburbs of Indian cities. Bus services are frequent in cities but are almost always crowded during peak hours. Taxis are not economical but autos (three-wheeled scooter-rickshaws) are. Either insist to go by meter or negotiate the price before hand with the drivers. While taking services, ride seeing the latest fare charts which all taxi and auto drivers should carry, and pay accordingly. Rickshaws are available everywhere. Tongas (horse-pulled carts) are available in many places but are time-consuming. The drive-yourself facility has still not been introduced in India, though international firms have begun to operate in India renting cars with drivers. Luxury cars and taxis without meters are also available on hire from cab companies in all major cities. Organized tours are conducted by government organizations in most tourist centers. India boasts of having many world class India tour operators and you can hire their services. Most of the roads are quite good, however, link roads leading to National Parks and wildlife sanctuaries may not always be good.
Sales Tax A local state tax is levied on many products as well as on services.
Communication Over 700 centres in India are connected by Direct Dialing Telephones (STD), and 204 countries around the world are connected by International Subscriber Dialing (ISD) facilities. Other modes of communications lake telex and fax are also available. But India has made rapid strides in communication technology. There are 980 million mobile phone users in India. Internet density is on the rise. Almost all good hotels have wi-fi and internet connectivity. Internet cafes are modern rage in smaller towns.
Time Indian standard Time follows 82 ?E longitudes. IST is 5 ? hours ahead of GMT, 10 ? hours ahead of American Eastern Standard Time (New York), 12 hours behind Australian Eastern Standard Time and 3 ? hours behind Japanese Standard Time (Tokyo).
Toilets Public toilets are few and far between and rarely well-kept. So prepare yourself in advance for a day out.
Traffic Rules Two-wheelers are very popular and cycles and mopeds are numerous in the larger cities. Traffic is heavy in the morning when people are hurrying to their schools, colleges or offices. The evening rush that begins with the office-goers and students getting back home lasts till late in the night. At all hours of the day, bullock carts and hand-drawn carts carrying heavy loads may be seen on the roads, moving at a leisurely pace, paying little heed to the rule of the road, with automobile blaring horns or enlarged drivers. Wandering cows and stray dogs add their bit to the traffic, making driving on the India roard that bit more difficult. Driving is on the left. Public parking facilities are available, but it is also safe to park your vehicle in other convenient places. Look out for 'No Parking' zones. Always carry a valid driving license endorsed for India.
Vehicle Repair Most towns have good vehicles repair facilities. Spares for imported vehicles are not easily available, so it is better to carry sufficient spares which will be fitted by recognized workshops. However, certain spares may be available in Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai. For India vehicles there are several service centres scattered all over the country, where all types of repairs can be attended to.
Visas Citizens of all countries, except Nepal and Bhutan and South Africans of Indian origin, need visas. While the first two need no passports either, South African Indians should possess passports or certificates of identity, endorsed for India. The Government of India issued three kinds of Visas-Tourist, Entry and Transit- depending on the purpose of the visit. All Visas are issued by Indian Diplomatic missions abroad. If a country has no Indian Representative or consular officers, the nearest British Diplomatic Mission may be approached. A Tourist Visa entitles the visitors to stay in India for three months. The visitors, however, must arrive within six months of the date of issue of the visa. The visa may be extended by another three months through application made to the foreigners' Regional Registrations Office at Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata or Chennai, or to the Superintendent of Police at the headquarters of the district. An Entry Visa, issued for three months and extendable for a further of three months, is issued to a foreign national visiting India for business or professional purposes or to set up permanent residence here. A Transit Visa, valid for 15 days, is issued to travelers passing through India, en route some other foreign destination, on presenting 'through tickets' for the onward journey. However, Transit Visa holders must enter India within three months from the date of issuance. It is also possible to obtain a two-way transit visa which will allow the travelers two journey through India with a maximum stay of 15 days on each visit. A passenger in Direct Transit, not wishing to leave the airport, does not require a transit visa.
Water In good hotels and restaurants, water is safe to drink. In other places, it is always advisable to ask for bottled drinking water. Extra care should be taken during the monsoon months. When in doubt, it's best to stick to bottled mineral water or, when not available, bottled soft drinks and soda if they are branded. It is also safe to use chlorination tablet or a water purifier which are available at most drug stores.
Working Hours and Holidays Sunday is the weekly holiday. Many officers are also closed on Saturday or work half-a-day. Other than these, the Indian calendar is replete with festival holidays, but these tend to vary from state to state. The only four national holidays are : 26 January-Republic Day, May 1- May Day; August 15- Independence Day and October 2- Gandhi Jayanti. Office hours are generally 10 am to 5 pm, though they may vary with the nature of the work and from state to state. Most Government of India officers work 5 days a week. Government officers work from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm. Most shops are open from 9 am to 8 pm with a long lunch break from noon or 1 pm to 3 pm. Smaller Shops and pavement traders keep flexible hours.

Torah Tidbits
Lessons Learned at Home
By: Ariella Zirkind
When the Greeks entered the Beis Hamikdash, they destroyed whatever they could. Stones were shattered, seals were broken, and idolatrous offerings were brought on the mizbeach. Among all of that, a Jew arrives. The Gemara shares a story about Miriam bas Bilga.
ת"ר מעשה במרים בת בילגה שהמירה דתה והלכה ונשאת לסרדיוט אחד ממלכי יוונים כשנכנסו יוונים להיכל היתה מבעטת בסנדלה על גבי המזבח ואמרה לוקוס לוקוס עד מתי אתה מכלה ממונן של ישראל ואי אתה עומד עליהם בשעת הדחק וכששמעו חכמים בדבר קבעו את טבעתה וסתמו את חלונה...אלא למ"ד מרים בת בילגה שהמירה דתה משום ברתיה קנסינן ליה לדידיה אמר אביי אין כדאמרי אינשי שותא דינוקא בשוקא או דאבוה או דאימיה
There was an incident with Miriam, the daughter of Bilga (The Levi), who left Judaism and married a Greek soldier. When the Greeks entered the Sanctuary of the Beis Hamikdash, she was kicking her feet against the altar and saying, 'Wolf! Wolf! For how long will you consume the resources of Israel but you do not stand with them in a crisis!' And when the Rabbis heard this, they removed her father, Bilga, from his position… Because of the incident with Miriam, do we punish the entire family because of his daughter? Abaye said yes, as people say the speech of a child in public is learned from his father or his mother. Sukkah 56b
Miriam's offense results in her father's removal because he is considered to be the source of her inappropriate behavior. Throughout halacha, there is a consistent emphasis placed on the value of the Jewish home and the lessons that are taught within it. Even a question as basic as who lights the menorah is filtered by this mindset.
תנו רבנן מצוות חנוכה נר איש וביתו, והמהדרין נר לכל אחד ואחד, והמהדרין מן המהדרין - בית שמאי אומרים יום ראשון מדליק שמונה מכאן ואילך פוחת והולך, ובית הלל אומרים יום ראשון מדליק אחת מכאן ואילך מוסיף והולך
The Sages taught that the mitzvah of lighting Chanukah candles is on a man and his household. And the preferred practice is that each person in the house has their own light, and the ideal beyond that, according to Beis Shammai, is that on the first day you light eight candles, and from there, you diminish one a day, and according to Beis Hillel, who says that on the first day you light one candle and from there you increase. Shabbos 22b
אולם לעניות דעתי, נראה פשוט שהלשון 'נר איש וביתו' כלל אינה מכוונת לבית הפיזי, כהבנת הפני יהושע, כי אם לבני הבית - נר איש ומשפחתו...כפי שראינו, קבעו חכמים שהמהדרים במצוות נר חנוכה מדליקים נרות כמספר אנשי כל הבית. ויש לשאול, הידור זה מה טיבו? מה ההידור בכך שמדליקים נרות כנגד מספר אנשי הבית? נראה לומר, שההידור הוא עצם הריבוי בנרות. ענין המצוה הוא פרסומי ניסא, וככל שיש יותר אור הדבר בולט יותר, ויש בכך יותר הידור.
In my humble opinion, it seems simple that the language of 'the lights of a man and his household' generally does not refer to the physical house, as is the understanding of the Pnei Yehoshuah, but rather to the people of the house—the lights of a man and his family...As we have seen, the Chachamim established the ideal of the mitzvah that each person in the house lights their own candles. We must ask, what is the good of this ideal? What is the beautification in having as many menorahs as members of the household? It seems to say that the beautification is the increase of candles itself. The whole idea of the mitzvah is publicizing the miracle, and the more light there is, the more it is publicized, and therein lies more beauty.
Rav Asher Weiss, Inyanei Chanukah
The idea is simple—the more candles we light, the more we have publicized the miracles of Chanukah, and so every person in the house in encouraged to light their own menorah. But the story of Miriam bas Bilga adds another insight into this halacha.
Chanukah is about Bnei Yisrael's commitment to Judaism—despite the influence of Hellenistic Greeks, in the face of harsh regulations against Torah learning, and regardless of an insufficient amount of pure oil. From this perspective, Miriam's behavior is especially offensive. During a time when the nation was strengthening their resolve, she laughed in their face and took part in the defilement of the Mikdash. In an era where the lessons of the Jewish home were being put to test, Miriam was a symbol of a failed upbringing.
When we encourage each person in the house to light a menorah, we are focusing on their individual Judaism. If the home is the source of our children's behavior, we will give them their own menorah and teach them to say the brachos themselves. We assess their personal religious engagement and provide them with an opportunity to learn a beautiful lesson. It reminds us of each of our contributions and the value that we have to the nation at large—and that a Jewish home is not a physical structure, but a culmination of the people in it and the mitzvos that they engage in together.

When do electoral college meet
How does the electoral college vote work – and can it stop Trump? | US news | The Guardian
The electoral vote results are counted and certified by a joint session of . In fact, in most states, the names of individual electors do not appear anywhere Congress sets the date on which the electors meet, currently the first. WASHINGTON — On Monday, people will meet to determine Do electors have to vote according to popular vote results in their states?. Each state has as many "electors" in the Electoral College as it has officials certify the popular vote of each state, the winning slate of electors meet in the state in which electors would vote proportionally based on the state's popular vote.
Then, in front of a joint session of Congress, the President of the Senate opened the vote counts from each state. These were totaled, and the President was the person with the most votes, if the count is a majority. If there was a tie, then the members of the House of Representatives immediately took a vote and that winner was the President. If there was no tie, and no majority, then the top five vote-getters were voted on by the House as above.
When the vote devolved to the House, two-thirds of all states must have had at least one Representative present for the vote to proceed. The Representatives present from each state voted as a single state. The winner had to win by a majority of the states. The Vice-President was a bit easier. In any case, that person who had the second highest number of Electoral votes was Vice-President if there was a tie, the winner of the House vote was President; the loser was Vice-President.
If the second-highest vote count was shared by two or more people, the Senate chose between those people. The Framers thought for sure that they had covered all their bases. But they did not foresee certain things, the most important of which is the formation of political parties. When the votes are counted, Bush and Cheney will have equal votes, throwing the election into the House, regardless of the fact that the will of the Electors is, or should be, clear.
How does the electoral college vote work – and can it stop Trump?
Once in the House, anything can happen. The ticket had the highest number of Electoral votes, and because their electors wrote both Jefferson and Burr on their ballots, there was a tie. The House was thrown into a fit, and it took 36 votes to finally elect Jefferson as President.
The 12th Amendment was ratified four years later to avert any recurrence of these events. The 12th changes the Electoral process in a few small, but important ways. First, instead of voting for two people, Electors vote for a President and a Vice-President.
From there, the names are totaled at the state level, in two columns this time one for the President and one for the Vice Presidentand sent along to the President of the Senate. Then, in joint session, all votes are opened and counted, again in two columns.
The electors sometimes choose a secretary, often not himself an elector, to take the minutes of the meeting. In many states, political officials give short speeches at this point in the proceedings. When the time for balloting arrives, the electors choose one or two people to act as tellers.
Some states provide for the placing in nomination of a candidate to receive the electoral votes the candidate for president of the political party of the electors.
Each elector submits a written ballot with the name of a candidate for president. In New Jerseythe electors cast ballots by checking the name of the candidate on a pre-printed card; in North Carolinathe electors write the name of the candidate on a blank card.
The tellers count the ballots and announce the result. The next step is the casting of the vote for vice president, which follows a similar pattern. Each state's electors must complete six Certificates of Vote.
Each Certificate of Vote must be signed by all of the electors and a Certificate of Ascertainment must be attached to each of the Certificates of Vote. Each Certificate of Vote must include the names of those who received an electoral vote for either the office of president or of vice president. The electors certify the Certificates of Vote and copies of the Certificates are then sent in the following fashion: A staff member of the President of the Senate collects the Certificates of Vote as they arrive and prepares them for the joint session of the Congress.
The Certificates are arranged — unopened — in alphabetical order and placed in two special mahogany boxes. Alabama through Missouri including the District of Columbia are placed in one box and Montana through Wyoming are placed in the other box.
United States Electoral College - Wikipedia
Faithless elector An elector may vote for whomever he or she wishes for each office provided that at least one of their votes president or vice president is for a person who is not a resident of the same state as themselves. Twenty-nine states plus the District of Columbia have passed laws to punish faithless electors, although none have ever been enforced. Many constitutional scholars claim that state restrictions would be struck down if challenged based on Article II and the Twelfth Amendment.
Some states, however, do have laws requiring that state's electors to vote for the candidate to whom they are pledged. Electors who break their pledge are called " faithless electors. Over the course of 58 presidential elections sinceonly 0. As stated in the ruling, electors are acting as a functionary of the state, not the federal government. Therefore, states have the right to govern the process of choosing electors. The constitutionality of state laws punishing electors for actually casting a faithless vote, rather than refusing to pledge, has never been decided by the Supreme Court.
However, in his dissent in Ray v. Blair, Justice Robert Jackson wrote: Faithless electors have never changed the outcome of any presidential election. Contingent election The Twelfth Amendment mandates Congress assemble in joint session to count the electoral votes and declare the winners of the election. The vice president and the Speaker of the House sit at the podium, with the vice president in the seat of the Speaker of the House.
Senate pages bring in the two mahogany boxes containing each state's certified vote and place them on tables in front of the senators and representatives.
Each house appoints two tellers to count the vote normally one member of each political party. Relevant portions of the Certificate of Vote are read for each state, in alphabetical order. All the foregoing structural elements of the electoral college system remain in effect currently. The original method of electing the President and Vice President, however, proved unworkable, and was replaced by the 12th Amendment, ratified in Under the original system, each elector cast two votes for President for different candidatesand no vote for Vice President.
The votes were counted; the candidate receiving the most, provided it was a majority of the number of electors, was elected President, and the runner-up became Vice President. The 12th Amendment replaced this system with separate ballots for President and Vice President, with electors casting a single vote for each office.
As the republic evolved, so did the electoral college system, and, by the late 19 century, the th following range of constitutional, federal and state legal, and political elements of the contemporary system were in place. Allocation of Electors and Electoral Votes The Constitution gives each state a number of electors equal to the combined total of its Senate membership two for each state and House of Representatives delegation currently ranging from one to 52, depending on population.
The 23rd Amendment provides an additional three electors to the District of Columbia. The number of electoral votes per state thus currently ranges from three for seven states and D.
The total number of electors each state gets are adjusted following each decennial census in a process called reapportionment, which reallocates the number of Members of the House of Representatives to reflect changing rates of population growth or decline among the states. Popular Election of Electors Today, all presidential electors are chosen by the voters, but, in the early republic, more than half the states chose electors in their legislatures, thus eliminating any direct involvement by the voting public in the election.
This practice changed rapidly after the turn of the nineteenth century, however, as the right to vote was extended to an ever-wider segment of the population. As the electorate continued to expand, so did the number of persons able to vote for presidential electors, to its present limit of all eligible citizens age 18 or older. The tradition that the voters choose the presidential electors thus became an early and permanent feature of the electoral college system, and, while it should be noted that states still theoretically retain the constitutional right to choose some other method, this is extremely unlikely.
The existence of the presidential electors and the duties of the electoral college are so little noted in contemporary society that most American voters believe that they are voting directly for a President and Vice President on election day.

Oh wow. That's all I can say about this one. We had this as an appetizer in a barbecue restaurant. I think this would make a great addition to any party. My son loved the crispy sweet bacon that topped the eggs so much that he tried to order it without the eggs…yes…he asked the waitress if the chef could give him a bowl of candied bacon! So, I decided to come home and re-create the dish. Here's the result!
Prepare your pan. Don't forget the foil or the cooking spray!
Lay your bacon on the tray…
Mix up the magic concoction!
"Paint" it on…good for you artsy craftsy people!
Ready for the oven…
Time lapse…voila!
Crumble for topping…
Make your deviled eggs…
I use a pastry blender to mash the yolks…
Time to put it all together!
Dig in. Enjoy. Repeat.
- 8 slices smoky bacon ( I use a Cherrywood smoked, but apple smoked is great!)
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 T maple syrup
- splash of bourbon (optional)
- 6 boiled eggs
- dijon mustard
- mayonnaise
- sweet pickles
- fresh jalapeno
Everyone probably has their own recipe for deviled eggs. I simply put them in a pot of cold water. Bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and cover. Let stand 15 minutes. Run under cold water and peel. I mix in some mayo, a little dijon mustard and finely chopped sweet pickles.
Now for the bacon. Preheat the oven to 375. I line a jelly roll pan with foil and place a cooling rack on top of that. I spray the rack with cooking spray. Do not skip either of these steps or you will have a huge sticky mess to clean up. Lay the bacon slices in a single layer on the rack. In a saucepan on medium heat, combine the maple syrup, sugar and bourbon if using. Gently warm while stirring to dissolve sugar and combine the mixture. If it seems to thick, add more syrup. You want it to be thin enough to "paint" on with a pastry brush but not so thin it just runs off. Then use the brush to apply the warm concoction on the strips of bacon. Place in oven for about 12 minutes until it starts to crisp up and sizzle. Turn over the slices and apply more of the sauce. Back in the oven to cook the other side for about 7-8 minutes. Then you can crank the oven to broil and get a good crisp on each side. Broil maybe 1-2 minutes per side, turning and applying more sauce with each turn. This part goes really quickly…don't walk away. Watch it closely so it doesn't burn! After it cools, it will be like crispy, shiny fruit leathers that you can crumble on top of your eggs and serve up with a slice of fresh jalapeno if you like! If you're worried about the jalapenos being too spicy, you can leave them off. But, if you take the seeds out, they really aren't spicy, and they just add a nice fresh contrast and bright flavor against the rich smoky sweetness of the bacon and creamy egg mixture. You'll have extra slices of bacon, but that is on purpose in my house since my hubby and son devour them. No one ever complains about extra bacon!

Aim: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the management of breast abscess with catheter drainage compared to conventional incision and drainage.
Material and Methods: The study was carried out in Department of Surgery, Chirayu Medical College and hospital, Bhopal. 40 patients of breast abscess who were admitted in female surgical ward from January 2013 to January 2018, were included in this study.
Result: In this study, Majority of the patients (80%) were in the age group of 21-30 years. Breast abscesses were predominantly seen to be occurring in the post partum period, i.e. during lactation (77.5%). Pain and lump were present in all cases. These two were regarded as the cardinal features in the diagnosis of breast abscess. The most common organism cultured was staph, aureus which was present in 85% of cases. Mean duration of hospital stay in drainage group was almost half (7.58) to that of incision and drainage (18.7 days).
Conclusion: It is concluded that incision and closed catheter drainage is a better and logical choice than incision and drainage for the treatment of breast abscess. It is superior to incision and drainage in duration of healing, hospital stay, days of work loss, work load on hospital staff and hospital visits henceforth is a cost-effective method that is beneficial to the patients as well to the hospital.

Letter to the Editor
Will We Survive as a Republic? Maybe.
August 22, 2019
To the Editor:
As always, I appreciate the tone of your thoughtful editorials, Mr. Bassler, and this one (Herald of Aug. 1, 2019, Page A-4, "My Main Concern"), on the dangers of executive power was most effective.
I don't necessarily agree that having a Democrat in the White House is dangerous – in fact, I anticipate it's being a very refreshing return to sanity – but your point of the Supreme Court's permission for the U.S. president to usurp the authority of congress is well taken.
I have long believed that, as long as congress consistently takes its assigned responsibil...

Entertainer Joe Piscopo captivates crowd at Liberty University
Actor, performer, and radio show host Joe Piscopo visited Liberty University on Friday, taking the Convocation stage for an inspirational discussion and a lively musical performance. The Saturday Night Live alumnus gave the event a late-night spin, sharing his music and comedy with the crowd of over 10,000 students in the Vines Center.
As an entertainer, Piscopo has worked on stage and in film, with all the charisma and vocal chops of a swing-era crooner.
Piscopo also shared stories from his long career in the entertainment industry, including the time he met U.S. President Ronald Reagan in the White House and when he karate-chopped martial arts legend Chuck Norris on the set of "Sidekicks."
He entertained the crowd with a musical impersonations roulette game, during which he channeled rocker Bruce Springsteen to sing "Old McDonald." David Nasser, Liberty's senior vice president for spiritual development, got in on the fun, putting an R&B spin on "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star."
Piscopo also brought his children on stage, performing a touching duet (Billy Ray Cyrus' "Butterfly Fly Away") with his daughter Olivia and rocking on the drums and guitar alongside his son Michael. Piscopo gave his signature impression, crashing to his knees as he belted the opening note from Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York."
Joined on stage by Falwell and Nasser, Piscopo talked about the importance of family and civility.
"It's all about family, man," Piscopo said. "That's what I love about the love and the spirit that I feel down here at Liberty University."
Falwell introduced award-winning writer, best-selling author, and political commentator Heather Mac Donald. She thanked Liberty for the warm welcome and attentive ears, which she said was counter to her experiences at other institutions where she has faced rude treatment, from inappropriate gestures to walkouts and blockades, before even getting a chance to speak.
Her rapid-fire message focused on the dangers of identity politics and victim culture. She noted examples from several universities, including Ivy League campuses, that exemplified a culture where professors are chided for exams that are "too fact based" and merit, even in scientific research, takes a back seat to an agenda.
"If we are going to restore sanity and civil harmony we are going to have to take on the victimology narrative directly and assert that for all of our historical flaws — and they were real — there has never been a more tolerant, opportunity filled polity than our current one," Mac Donald said.
She added that we can't sacrifice the preservation of knowledge or deny the accomplishments of history, even in light of the cultural problems past societies may have had.
"A university's highest calling is to convey the full glory of Western inheritance," she said, "to inspire students to get down on their knees in gratitude for that legacy rather than raising their fists in protest. And I know that gratitude is something that inspires Liberty University's students to their enormous credit and which sets you apart."
Lynchburg Mayor Treney Tweedy closed out the event by commissioning "Serve Lynchburg," a massive, two-day humanitarian blitz where approximately 2,000 Liberty students will tackle a number of service projects throughout the community.

Friday Catchall: Bot calls, scams & NCAA prompt green beer
The Friday Catchall:
While you are gearing up for the annual green fest downtown, known as the St. Patty's Day Pub Crawl, from 1 to 7 p.m. Saturday, March 17, consider the following — which I hope gives you a laugh and also may fuel your desire for another green beer.
• BOT CALLS & SCAMS — My cell phone chimes to life, the caller ID shows a Prescott-area phone number.
"Hello?" I said Thursday afternoon.
Long silence. "This is an important message regarding your credit card accounts…" the recorded message begins.
Click. I hang up — I do not have a credit card. Seriously, my wife and I cut them up years ago; don't like the temptation.
There ought to be a law, not that they would follow them; they seem to ignore the Do Not Call List.
Forget the recordings — then there are the scams. This is tax return season, with the latest schemes that falsify income, including elaborate ruses involving bogus 1099 forms, the IRS said this week.
It is a common tax scam the IRS sees each year. The agency warns taxpayers to avoid related schemes to erroneously claim tax credits as well as more elaborate schemes that scam artists peddle.
One of the best fixes: choose the right tax preparer, who better understands the differences in tax credentials and qualifications; research the IRS preparer directory and learn how to submit a complaint regarding an unscrupulous tax return preparer. Visit www.irs.gov/chooseataxpro.
Oh, and the Do Not Call List? They say to submit only once; those scofflaws who keep calling are ignoring it — or, beware, you visited a website or signed up for something and, deep down in the fine print, you actually allowed this.
• ARIZONA — I like basketball. It is not my favorite or "love," like the Denver Broncos (I bleed Broncos orange!); no, watching a basketball game conjures up good memories of junior high.
I was the "team manager." Couldn't run (I'm more of a sprinter) and was even worse at shooting a basketball, but being involved was a hoot.
When March Madness comes along each spring, I also think of 1997 when the Arizona Wildcats won it all. Watching those NCAA Finals on TV was an edge-of-the-seat experience!
Well, the Pac-12's remaining hope, Arizona, fell Thursday night. They weathered some storms this year, but were manhandled by Buffalo. With Arizona State and UCLA out early, Arizona was the "Pac-1" — this year's last hope for the Pac-12.
Check out the Courier Challenge in sports; I may not do as well as I do when it is football, but I don't think I'll finish last this year. Yet, after Arizona's loss I may need one of those green beers!
How's your NCAA bracket, still worthy?
• QUOTE – "It isn't the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it's the pebble in your shoe." — Muhammad Ali, (1942-2016) boxing's former world champ — "The Greatest."
• PICK OF THE WEEK – (Proving there's always something good to do in the Prescott area that's cheap or free): The Pub Crawl — visit our story on dCourier.com or pick up the March 16 Prescott Kudos for details.

Legal Demand Letters
Sometimes saying "talk to my lawyer" is warranted. If you have experienced an issue with a client, a business you collaborate with, or some other party, you may be considering pursing legal action. Before so however, you may want to hire a lawyer to write a legal demand letter. So, what is a legal demand letter?
It is a formal document (can be both emailed and mailed) that gives notice that should the problem not be resolved, the client wants to pursue legal action.
There are a variety of legal demand letters: breach of contract, cease and desist letters, letter about a bounced check or incomplete payment/debt/collections letters, etc. etc.
Components: The letter should introduce the attorney and why the party is being contacted (who is the client the lawyer is writing the letter on behalf of, etc.). Then it should describe the facts at hand. For example, the relationship of the parties and how the issue arose. Why the issue couldn't be resolved, etc. After this, the person receiving the letter should be reminded of the contract they signed that may be breaching, any laws they may be violating, and any communication that may have broken down. A demand and reality testing should follow. (Ie. Should you not pay the amount owed by (date), my client will be pursuing legal action). Depending on need exhibits/attachments may be added (ie. receipts, contracts, evidence of why the client who the letter is being written for is in the right not the wrong).
Writing and sending legal demand letters is cheaper than going to court. They also sometimes give the parties the necessary reality check to move forward to a resolve. More so, since both parties don't want to go to court, the person receiving the letter will usually try to at least communicate about resolve more than they did prior to receiving the letter. Legal demand letters can also lead to pre-court negotiating that is more creative (ie. a payment plan, an apology, etc).
If you need a legal demand letter feel free to reach out to our firm to discuss what letter (and what tone) would be best.

Reports of things that can go wrong during surgical procedures in hospitals nationwide, including North Carolina, can lead to anxious anticipation for anyone who is scheduled for surgery. A recent filing of a medical malpractice case in another state underscores the extended period of pain and suffering that can result when a foreign object remains inside the body of a patient after an operation. This case involves a surgical procedure in 2015 that caused the patient severe health problems afterwards, and the patient didn't find out the cause until four years later.
Will workers' compensation benefits cover gas explosion?
Safety authorities expect employers in North Carolina to protect the health and safety of employees. While most employers comply with prescribed safety standards, unanticipated circumstances can pose safety hazards. This is when workers rely on the workers' compensation insurance system of the state.
Workers' compensation: Is black mold making you sick?
Some of the most significant threats to the safety of workers nationwide, including North Carolina, are those that they cannot see. Exposure to black mold is one such a hazard, and proving it to be work related in a workers' compensation claim can be challenging. The illness that is caused by exposure to toxic mold develops gradually over time and not overnight.
3 myths about workers' compensation
Sustaining an injury at work is not only a physically painful event but also an emotional challenge. You have to worry about treatment and recovery, as well as how you are going to make ends meet while you are unable to work full time or at all.
Many workers' compensation claims are for preventable injuries
Employers must conduct frequent workplace hazard assessments, analyze them and address potential injury hazards. Unfortunately, it is often only after preventable accidents happen -- some of them catastrophic -- that safety authorities come in and identify safety violations. An employee of a North Carolina arms company was a victim of a preventable amputation injury, and the worker will likely rely on workers' compensation benefits to provide financial assistance.
Motor vehicle accidents: Hit-and-run kills Raleigh teenager
The principal of a high school in Raleigh advised parents that he had arranged for a team of psychologists, social workers and counselors to provide support to students after a tragic event that claimed the life of a ninth grader. Traumatic events like fatal motor vehicle accidents that kill fellow students are known to cause feelings of vulnerability and a range of emotions. These could include anxiety, sadness, anger and fear, all of which can be eased during discussions with professionals who can help affected students to process their emotions.

This 2 bed apartment in Eixample is located within a 2 minutes walking distance from the famous Sagrada Familia. This is a great area to live in, as it provides you with plenty of activities, restaurants, shops and beautiful streets to walk in. The area enjoys excellent connections to the rest of the city which makes this a central area with a more modern vibe and many shopping options.
The Neighborhood of Eixample
Eixample, which can be literally translated from Catalan as "extension" for being the newest part of the city, is a large area north of Plaça Catalunya to the left and Passeig de Gràcia to the right. In fact, this place is an extension of the city that benefited greatly thanks to the ingenious urban planning that was in the hands of the Catalan engineer Cerdá during the 1850s. Cerdá had weakness for straight lines, which is why the arranging of the whole area is on a grid and each buildings block has an internal patio. This means that it is very difficult to get lost in the Eixample. It also makes it easy to find your favorite shops.
The Eixample area is famous for being home to most of Barcelona's art nouveau masterpieces, the many shops and because it is a high class residential. It's a great place to live in, always full of life and things to do.

We all wish we could afford the Million-dollar homes in our area, right? But just how much can you actually afford when buying a home? And equally important, how do you even get started figuring it out? Anyone have a dart board and a blindfold?
In Episode 02 of The Home Team Advantage Show, we talked about whether you should call a Realtor first or call the lender first. But regardless, at least at some early point in your home-buying process, and if you're going to need to finance a loan/mortgage and not pay cash for your home, you will need to talk with a mortgage lender. The lender will ask you some simple questions, run all the numbers, and they'll be able to tell you a few things:
- Can you be approved for a loan?
- What type of loan might best suit you and your needs?
- How much can you afford in terms of monthly payment?
To do this, they will look at things like:
- Your credit score
- Your monthly/yearly income
- Do you have a spouse or anyone else on the mortgage (or a co-signer)?
- Your monthly debts (i.e. student loans, auto loans, etc.)
- How much you are thinking of using for down payment?
The lender can then (possibly with the help of your Realtor) tell you what price range you should be looking up to as your maximum. I italicize the words "up to" to signify their importance. Just because you can afford up to a certain amount, that doesn't mean you need to spend that full amount, obviously. You can spend the max, by all means… especially if that's what's going to get you the house you really want. But a smart home buyer will at least consider the question, "Can I get the house I really want for less than my maximum?"
I hope this helps without going into too much detail. I'm trying to keep these videos and posts as short as possible, providing helpful, valuable content with the value of your time in mind.

Leonard is forced to intervene and Clarrie tries to make Will see sense
Leonard tells Kenton the rift between him and David is making Jill miserable. Kenton counters it has nothing to do with Leonard, and assumes Jill sent him. Leonard denies this; he's come because he can see Jill's sad and because she's spent many years keeping the family together. He reckons it's pretty special to have a big family close by.
Clarrie finds Joe fast asleep in a chair, with Poppy not far away, also sleeping. Clarrie thinks minding Poppy has tired Joe out, but he insists he loves looking after her. Clarrie tells Will it's not fair of him to ask Joe to do this. Will insists it's not through choice, but refuses Clarrie's suggestion of asking Bev for help. However when Clarrie admits she found Joe sleeping, he understands. He won't ask Joe again.
Kenton confides in Jolene. She understands his predicament over the debt. His pride's telling him to pay his own way rather than take Jill's money. But Jolene reckons you sometimes just have to grasp the nettle. She's delighted with her promo shots and thinks if she seizes the day it could be fantastic for them. Kenton's her hero. Later Kenton finally pays David with Jill's money. Jill's delighted as she entreats them to shake hands. Families eh?...

At this level, students are expected to work autonomously and collaboratively to generate innovative designs and solutions, and are conscious of the responsibilities and accountabilities of engineers and of directing the development of professional skills. The focus for this unit is on fostering systems thinking skills where students are encouraged to approach problems holistically, drawing together the disparate elements of their developing capacities, and show how the nature and boundaries are understood in order to formulate technically sound solutions as well as address broader needs. Through a number of activities, students are provided opportunities to demonstrate skills in leadership, implement innovative design solutions, and mentor others. Students prepare for the transition from 4th year to post-graduate or employment assessing choices, refining options through a well developed, strategically focused academic or career plan. By the end of the year students are expected to have a sophisticated portfolio demonstrating achievements in alignment with Engineering Australia Stage 1 competencies thus demonstrating a commitment to the profession and capacity to achieve chartered engineering status.

The IMF Has This Advice for the Next U.S. President
The next U.S. president will have to act quickly and forestall the looming domestic fiscal cliff to ensure that the world economy does not feel the negative impact, International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde said.
"Whoever is going to be elected or re-elected tomorrow will be faced with that challenge and will have to tackle that issue up front very shortly, because the beginning of 2013 is in two months time," Lagarde said at the end of meetings between officials from the Group of 20 leading economies. If the U.S. doesn't act quickly, she said, "all economies…will suffer from the spillover."

The fiscal cliff refers to the automatic implementation of the Budget Control Act of 2011, which is scheduled to go into effect at the end of 2012 unless the government takes measures to prevent it. The act entails $7 trillion worth of tax increases and spending cuts over a decade. Neither President Barack Obama nor his Republican challenger Mitt Romney has said much about the cliff. Also related to the fiscal cliff is the issue of the debt ceiling. The country's borrowing limit is set to be reached by the end of the year, but the U.S. Treasury Department has said that it can employ "extraordinary" measures to ensure the government can function until early 2013.
The looming threat within the U.S. of massive tax increases and spending cuts is causing uncertainty around the globe, Lagarde said, according to Dow Jones. The IMF managing director said global recovery was still fragile and remained "at risk if the needed policy actions are not implemented."
The global economic leaders, meeting in Mexico City, discussed steps to solve the euro crisis and ensure global economic health and Lagarde said she saw a "shared sense of urgency among all stakeholders."

I am combination feeding and literally do one breast feed then one formula.
Does her poo look normal? I'm worried as my first daughter has a cows milk allergy so I'm worried she may have a milk intolerance. Just don't know if I'm being paranoid! She doesn't cry so don't think she has colic but she has always been gassy!

Based upon practice Saturday afternoon's Locate.im Sidecar Race 1 looked like it could be a record breaker. In ideal conditions the outfits charged off down Bray Hill led by lap record holders Ben and Tom Birchall. Thoughts that this may be an easy win were dispelled at Glen Helen where John Holden / Lee Cain held a lead of 1.14s. The Birchalls were in second place with Tim Reeves / Mark Wilkes in third. Dave Molyneux /Dan Sayle held sixth; the Sulby speed trap indicating that they were well down on top end compared to their rivals. The Birchalls took Ramsey hairpin in good style; the sidecar wheel pawing the air as they powered around the tight bend. Reeves was more spectacular; but after 9 outfits had passed the red flag came out; halting the race. Veteran driver and outfit constructor Tony Baker with daughter Fiona as passenger had crashed at the 120mph+ corner at Sky Hill, one mile out of Ramsey. Thank fully their injuries were not as serious as they may have been; Tony sustained a broken leg; whilst Fiona suffered severe bruising. We wish them a full and rapid recovery.
The outfits returned to the Grandstand and whilst they were being prepared for the restart practice for the solos took place.
It was early evening when the outfits again faced the starter. There was to be no repeat of the closeness of the first running; Ben and Tom duly took their seventh Isle of Man win and in the process absolutely shredded the record books in setting both lap and race records. So fast was their pace that their race average was 0.868mph faster than the 2017 lap record.
They bettered the old record on each of the three laps, moving the outright lap record to an astonishing 118.694mph, and they came home 47.1s clear of John Holden/Lee Cain with Tim Reeves/Mark Wilkes completing the podium in third.
The Birchalls, unhappy with their first run were determined to grab the second opportunity. They led from start to finish; at Glen Helen on the opening lap, their advantage over Holden/Cain was a slender 2.1s with Reeves/Wilkes only a further 1s back as Alan Founds/Jake Lowther, Pete Founds/Jevan Walmsley and Dave Molyneux/Dan Sayle completed the top six.
As the lap progressed, the Birchalls continued to extend their lead and as they swept around Ramsey Hairpin they had opened a lead of 6.7s. The lead increased on the run to the Bungalow and it was clear they were on a very fast lap – indeed, as they flashed across the line at the end of the lap, they had broken their own lap record with a speed of 117.502mph.
That gave them a more than healthy lead of 13.1s over Holden/Cain and although Reeves/Wilkes continued to hold onto third, there were problems for Founds/Lowther who pitted to make adjustments; losing 79s in total including 10s penalty for having too many helpers in the pit. Molyneux/Sayle retired from the race whilst holding onto sixth; again they had suffered fronm a lack of top end. Meanwhile, newcomers Michael Jackson/Harry Payne set a stunning opening lap of 106.242mph.
The pit stop dropped Founds to 21st place but there were no such problems at the head of the field and the Birchalls were setting a sensational pace. They led by 16.3s at Glen Helen, 20.2 at Ramsey Hairpin and by the end of the lap, they had extended their lead to 26.1s having smashed their 19m old lap record a truly amazing lap of 118.694mph.
Holden/Cain became only the second crew to lap at more than 117mph with a lap of 117.370mph and they were now 19 seconds clear of Reeves/Wilkes. Founds/Walmsley were up to fourth with a new personal best lap of 114.613mph ahead of Conrad Harrison/Andy Winkle and Founds/Lowther who had amazingly climbed all the way back up to sixth.
On the third and final lap, the gaps between the front runners continued to widen and with a final lap of 117.771mph, the Birchalls came home for their seventh TT win and their fourth in a row. Holden's runner-up spot was his ninth podium in a row and 19th in total; while passenger Lee Cain became the fastest Manx passenger. Reeves/Wilkes came home in a good third place; having set their personal best laps during the race.
Peter Founds/Walmsley took fourth place with Alan Founds/Lowther taking a brilliant fifth place given their earlier pit stop and it was Harrison/Winkle who completed the top six.
Darren Hope/Lenny Bumfrey, Gary and Daryl Gibson, Gary Bryan/Phil Hyde and Greg Lambert/Julie Canipa rounded out the top ten.
After the race Ben revealed that they had to work hard for the win and paid tribute to his brother and their team. He said: "you never know what pace you can run on the Isle of Man. Tom's been incredible – faultless. We had a bit of a moment at Windy Corner – I'm blaming the wind. We've got a great team and Chris builds some great engines."
They have raised the bar to previously unimagined levels and are as close to unbeatable as it is possible to be in this sport.

The second set of pictures from Sting's latest historical drama
Also before the court is Daniel McGregor (Rudi Vallance) this young man is a well known lad about town. A bad un, as labelled by the locals, often involved in some surreptitious scrape or another. The Justice was loathed to send him to jail as in fact he did have some redeeming character traits.
He spared him custody but sentenced the lad to a wake up flogging with the cat, to be administered to the bare posteriors in the manner of a boy! The Justice being an ex naval man knew how to go about these things especially with disorderly young men.
On top of this, a spanking would seem appropriate too, given the childish way McGregor had seen fit to behave!
