French MEP Dismayed by Bulgarian Govt Reaction on Siderov Outburst
The President of the French delegation of the European People's Party (EPP) is dismayed by the absence of an official condemnation of Volen Siderov by the Bulgarian government.
"I am amazed that the Government of the Republic of Bulgaria, the Prime Minister Plamen Oresharski, and the leader of the Socialist Party Sergei Stanishev have not condemned the attack", wrote Jean -Pierre Audy in an official statement.
The French MEP expressed his hope that this silence is not motivated by the fragile balance in Bulgaria's Parliament, which relies heavily on the support of the extremist Ataka party.
Late on Monday, Siderov verbally assaulted a French cultural attach? during a Sofia-Varna flight and later attacked a passenger and a police officer in a Varna airport shuttle bus.
As a result, Chief Prosecutor Sotir Tsatsarov asked that ultranationalist be stripped of his MP immunity. It will, however, depend on the Parliament to vote for his immunity to be removed.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
I've got a strange situation, not sure if it's my bug or the behaviour of PIAB.
I've got a method:
public void MyMethod(Obj myObj)
try {
} catch(Exception ex) { // handle exception via ExceptionHandling block}
Now, when I decorate "MyMethod" with the Exception call handler, everything works as expected. ie:
I can remove the try catch from the method, and PIAB handles the exception with the given policy.
But the problem is, I don't want the entire method "MyMethod" to be wrapped in a try/catch. The first part, DoSomethingTrivial() should be outside this handler. So I changed my method to:
public void DBPersist(Obj myObj)
I was expecting that now only the second method will be handled by the Exception call handler. Unfortunately, when implmented this second way, the call handler is NOT invoked.
Any pointers are appreciated.
Please see this post: http://entlib.codeplex.com/Thread/View.aspx?ThreadId=17407 , seems to be related.

Nostalgia - Poem by Abdulrasheed Dawodu
Living in diaspora
Alone away from home
Living in the land of oaks and timbers
Avarice; their worthy religion
My heart was weary
My eyes, heavy
Tears no longer redeemed
A strong nostalgia sets in
I was watched with unseeing eyes
I sought comfort in loneliness
What a great comfort boredom could be
In my lonely room, I rested
Reminiscing on the journey
How did i make it this far
We commence to end
Indeed we begin to finish
It unfolds like no ending to the folding
Turning back the pages
Glancing through the content
I wonder how;
I slept with eyes wide open
I survived the weary days,
The harrowing nights
But I was far from listlessness
Empowered by the environment
Stronger than ever
And the days became meaningful
I heave a sigh of relief
Now I have ended a journey
Only to begin another
Yet I ponder
Is home coming the panacea?
It only gives birth to another

Some things – like the Nazis and racial injustices in the American South – never lose their grip on our imagination, as a couple of utterly unrelated events reminded me last week.
On Wednesday, The New York Times published a photo album from the Auschwitz death camp, showing carefree men and women of the SS singing, picnicking and sunbathing during time off from superintending mass murder.
The next day, the cable channels ran wall-to-wall coverage of thousands of people who had descended on a small Louisiana town, in the biggest civil rights protest march seen in the US since the 1960s.
Remarkable events both, but with one glaring difference. The crimes of the Nazis are a thing of the past, those photos a ghastly reminder of the banality of an evil that once was. But what drew the marchers to Jena was proof that a century and a half after the Civil War, and 40 years after the climax of the civil rights struggle, race discrimination lives on in the US.
The basic story is now well known. Last year, black students at a local high school sat under a tree where traditionally white students met. The latter responded by hanging nooses from the tree. Racial tensions escalated. The whites involved were merely reprimanded, but when six black students were arrested after beating up a white schoolmate, they were charged with attempted murder.
Thus Thursday's march, to "Free the Jena Six". From former presidential candidates Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton to the son of Martin Luther King, all today's big civil rights names were there. The atmosphere conjured up memories of the great protests of the 1950s and 1960s, while showing that a generation often accused of being self-centred could also be stirred to outrage.
And with good reason. The case of the Jena Six struck virtually every raw nerve of black history in the South – from nooses on trees, signifying lynching, to the small-town prosecutor (white, naturally) warning black students staging a peaceful protest that "I can make your lives go away with the stroke of a pen".
Is racism rife in Jena? Not to hear the locals tell it. The town may be 85 per cent white and the races may live in more or less segregated neighbourhoods (as is the case in most US cities). Beyond that, nothing unusual. "But they make it sound as if the whole of Jena is just one big KKK rally," one (white) citizen complained.
But why, then, were white and black offenders treated so differently? In the US South, hanging a noose from a tree is as much a hate crime as daubing a Nazi swastika on the wall of a New York synagogue, and all but five of the 50 states have laws that make such offences a felony. Yet in Jena, the white students responsible were handed mild disciplinary punishment, as if what they had done was a schoolboy prank.
By contrast, the blacks who attacked their white classmate last December were charged not with assault but attempted murder. The resultant uproar has already had some effect. The charges have been reduced to second-degree battery, while the conviction has been overturned of the one member of the Six who has been in court – tried as an adult for what supporters say was a schoolyard fight.
But Jena merely underscored how blacks and whites are not equal in the eyes of the law. Murder a white person, and you are four times more likely to be sentenced to death than if your victim is black. Of blacks executed for murder, no fewer than 20 per cent were tried by all-white juries. According to Human Rights Watch, five times as many whites as blacks use drugs, but two-thirds of drug offenders in state prisons are black. One in every 20 black men over 18 in the US is behind bars, compared to one in 180 whites. Money, of course, has a great deal to do with it too. If you are both poor and black, the system is even more tilted against you.
Take O J Simpson. OJ is black, but more importantly, he is affluent – rich enough in 1995 to have hired the glittering legal team that secured his acquittal on double murder charges. Now he's back in the headlines, facing charges of armed robbery and kidnapping. The picture that said it all, however, was of OJ walking away from the courthouse with a couple of pricey lawyers, bailed for a modest $125,000 and secure in the knowledge that this time too he is unlikely to spend very long behind bars. If you're a poor high-school kid in the South, though, with just a lousy court-appointed lawyer, you can only pray that your case becomes a cause célèbre.
But Jena offers hope, too. Race is this country's original sin, a dividing line between America as it is and America's proclaimed image of itself as the land where all men are created equal and stand equal before the law. That is manifestly still not true. But at least people still care and aspire to put it right.

Penal Code, 1860 – S. 376 – Rape – Reliability of the statement of victim – Prosecutrix has been changing her version again and again which makes her testimony unreliable and unworthy of credence. Thus the prosecution has miserably failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt against the present appellant and the appeal is liable to be allowed.
CRIMINAL APPEAL No. – 3018 of 2015
Appellant :- Kishor Respondent :- State Of U.P. Counsel for Appellant :- Salman Ahmad Counsel for Respondent :- Govt.Advocate
Hon'ble Mrs. Ranjana Pandya,J.
1. This appeal has been preferred against the conviction and sentence passed against the order dated 30.06.2015, passed by Additional Sessions Judge / F.T.C., Jalaun at Orai, in S.T. No. 113 of 2012 (State vs. Kishor), arising out of Case Crime No. 52 of 2012, under Sections 323, 504, 506,376 I.P.C. and S.T. No. 124 of 2012 (State vs. Nripati), arising out of Case Crime No. 52 of 2012, under Sections 323, 504, 506 I.P.C., Police Station Kotra, District Jalaun, whereby the accused Kishor was found guilty and sentenced to 10 years' rigorous imprisonment and fine of Rs. 3000/-, under Section 376 I.P.C.; 1 year rigorous imprisonment along with fine of Rs. 5000/- under Section 504 I.P.C and 7 years' rigorous imprisonment along with fine of Rs. 2000/- under Section 506 I.P.C. with default stipulation, whereas accused Kiran and Nripati were acquitted for the charges framed against them.
2. Filtering out the unnecessary details, the prosecution case in brief is that an application under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. was moved before the C.J.M., Orai, which was directed to be registered as a criminal case and investigation was ordered. As per the application i.e. Exhibit Ka-1, the elder daughter of the informant was married in village Barsaar, Police Station Kotra, District Jalaun to Nripati son of Chaturbhuj. Three months prior to 26.07.2011, the brother-in-law (Devar) of Kiran came on motorcycle to the house of the informant and told that Kiran was seriously sick and the victim was called by her. The informant sent his 16 years' old daughter with Kishor. After that 4-5 times, the informant went to the house of his daughter but Kishor, Chaturbhuj and Ramwati did not let him meet with his daughter and did not make him to see his elder daughter too. On 10.05.2011, the informant along with Pappu Chamar, the wife of the informant Munni and Gokul went to Barsaar. At this Kishor, Chaturbhuj, Ramwati, Nirpati and Kiran told that the victim had eloped from their house. The informant and his companions heard the sound of weeping of the victim, at this, they entered the house of the accused and found the victim locked in a room. When she was taken out, the accused persons started to assault the informant and his companions. The matter was complained to the Police Station Mandichowki. Out of shyness, on that date, the victim did not told anything to anybody that she had been forcibly detained and locked in a room for 3 months and was continuously raped by Kishor for 3 months. Kishor threatened to kill the victim and also threatened to set her to fire. Whenever, she tried to raise alarm, she was shown country made pistol. The informant sent the information about complete incident by registered post to the S.P. He also himself appeared before the S.S.P., Orai, who directed the police personnel of Police Station, Kotra to look into the matter. On 17.05.2011, when the informant along with his daughter and other companions reached the Police Station, Kotra, he was told that the case would be registered and the accused persons would be arrested on the next day. The informant received a telephone call stating that he should bring the victim to the police station and the accused had been arrested. On 19.05.2011 at 10:00 A.M., the informant along with his wife, victim and many other people went to the police station. The incharge of the police station pressurized the informant to compromise the matter. The informant and his companions were badly beaten and the caste relating abusive words was also uttered and he was forced to sign the compromise written by his son-in-law Nripati. The police personnel forcible put the thumb impressions of the mother of the victim namely Munni on the compromise letter. The victim and the informant were also forced to put their signatures on the compromise letter and they were threatened that if they would proceed with the matter then many cases would be slapped on them. There were many political leaders leading to the BJP and Congress who were sitting in the police station. Nripati was saying that he had influenced over the Kotra police. At this the informant sent a registered application to S.P., Jalaun, Orai on 01.06.2011 but no action was taken into the matter. Hence, the application under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. was moved.
3. Dr. Sunita is PW-3, who conducted the medical examination on the victim. She did not find any external or internal injury on the body of the victim. She proved the medical report as Exhibit Ka-3. Smear slides were prepared for pathological examination and the victim was sent for age determination test on which supplementary report was produced. This witness proved the supplementary report as Exhibit Ka-4. Constable Clerk Rakesh Pratap Singh, PW-4, prepared the chik report. He proved the chik report as Exhibit Ka-5. Further, this witness scribed the G.D., whose copy was proved by this witness as Exhibit Ka-6. The investigation was entrusted to A.K. Singh, S.I. On 07.02.2012. He inspected the spot on 09.02.2012. He recorded the statements of Munni Devi, the victim, witness Rinku Singh and Radha. On 10.02.2012, he recorded the statement of lady Constable Shabnam, Alka Dwivedi, copied the medical report in the case diary. He further recorded the statements of doctor and Pinki. On 14.02.2012, the statement of all the accused persons were recorded. Thereafter, the investigation was transferred to Brijraj Singh. This witness proved the charge sheet submitted against all the accused-persons as Exhibits Ka-7 and Ka-8. Further, this witness proved the site plan prepared by him and proved it as Exhibits Ka-9 and Ka-10.
4. Besides these witnesses, the prosecution also proceeded to examine Babu PW-1, who is the informant, who proved the application submitted under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. as Exhibit Ka-1. PW-2 is the victim, who proved her statement recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C. as Exhibit Ka-2. PW-5 is Munni Devi, who is the mother of the victim and wife of the informant. She has stated about the occurrence as to how she went to the house of the accused to bring back her daughter. After examining as many as six witnesses, the prosecution has closed its evidence.
5. The statement of the accused persons were recorded under Section 313 Cr.P.C., in which all the accused persons denied the occurrence. Further, the accused appellant, in question, Kishor has stated that there was dispute between his sister-in-law and her father (informant) regarding jewellery, hence he also had been falsely implicated. However, no evidence in defence was adduced.
6. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties, the learned lower court convicted and sentenced the accused as stated in para 1 of the judgment.
7. Feeling aggrieved, the accused has come up in appeal.
8. Heard Sri Salman Ahmad, learned counsel for the appellants, learned Additional Government Advocate for the opposite party and perused the lower court record.
# Delay in lodging the first information report
9. Counsel for the appellant has vehemently submitted that there is an inordinate delay in lodging the first information report, which would be fatal for the prosecution case. He has specifically stated that no date has been mentioned as to when the victim was taken away and since when the accused started raping her. No doubt, delay in lodging the first information report would not be a ground to discard the whole prosecution case but by and large, if there is an inordinate delay, the prosecution has to explain the delay and if the delay is explained then it would not be fatal for the prosecution case.
10. Perusal of the record shows that there is no date on what date the victim was enticed away and from which date the act of rape was started. As far as the delay is concerned, in the first information report Exhibit Ka-1, which has been proved by PW-1 Babu, father of the victim, it has been stated that the accused took away the victim on the ground that her sister was ill. Now as per first information report, on 17.05.2011, he went to the Police Station Kotra. Again on 19.05.2011, he went to the police station, where he was ill treated and he and all his companions were beaten by the police. Further, he has stated that on 01.06.2011, he moved an application to the S.P. But none of the aforesaid applications are on record. Withholding all the copies of such applications, compels the court to draw adverse inference against the prosecution.
11. The informant has stated that he moved a written application but his report was not lodged. Even the victim has stated that she went to the police station to lodge the report but her report was not lodged. The same version was stated by the mother of the victim namely PW-5 Munni Devi but neither copies of such applications has been brought on record by the witnesses nor copes of any report has been summoned to substantiate this averment that prior to moving of an application under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C., any application was moved at the police station or to any superior police officer. Even, the concerned relevant G.D. was not got summoned from the police station.
12. Be it clearly stated here that delay in lodging FIR in cases under Section 376 I.P.C. would depend upon facts and circumstances of each case and this Court has given immense allowance to such delay, regard being had to the trauma suffered by the prosecutrix and various other factors, but a significant one, in the present case, it has to be appreciated from a different perspective. The prosecutrix was missing from home. In such a situation, it was a normal expectation that either the mother or the brother would have lodged a missing report at the police station, but the same was not done. This action really throws a great challenge to common sense. No explanation has been offered for such delay. The learned trial Judge has adverted to this facet on an unacceptable backdrop by referring to the principle that prosecutrix suffered from trauma and the constraint of the social stigma. The prosecutrix at that time was nowhere in the scene. It is the mother who was required to inform the police about missing of her grown-up daughter. In the absence of any explanation, it gives rise to a sense of doubt. Thus, delay in lodging the first information report is fatal for the prosecution case.
# Reliability of the statement of victim
13. Perusal of the application moved under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. was addressed to the C.J.M., Orai, Jalaun. It was addressed and signed by an Advocate and the accused Kishor, Nripati, Smt. Ramawati and Kiran were made the accused in the case. It has to be borne in mind that Kiran is the daughter of the informant, Nripati is the son-in-law of the informant and Kishor and Ramawati are the relatives of Nripati.
14. In cases of rape, the statement of the prosecutrix should be given due importance. In
# 2010 Cr.L.J. 2060, Abbas Ahmad Chaudhary vs. State of Assam
the Hon'ble Apex Court has observed that we are conscious of the fact that in a matter of rape, the statement of the prosecutrix must be given primary consideration. But, at the same time, the broad principle that the prosecution has to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt applies equally to a case of rape and there can be no presumption that a prosecutrix would always tell the entire story truthfully.
15. In
# Munna vs. State of M.P., 2015 (1) SCC (Cri) 59
the Hon'ble Apex Court has held that if the statement of the victim has inherent infirmities, creating doubt about its veracity, same may not be acted upon and the statutory presumption under Section 114A of the Evidence Act should not be drawn in such cases.

# Bharwada Bhoginbhai Hirjibhai vs. State of Gujarat, 1983 3 SCC 2017
the Hon'ble Apex Court has laid down as under:-
"Without the fear of making too wide a statements or of overstating the case, it can be said that rarely will a girl or a woman in India make false allegations of sexual assault on account of any such factor as has been just enlisted. The statement is generally true in the context of the urban as also rural Society. It is also by and large true in the context of the sophisticated, not so sophisticated, and unsophisticated society. Only very rarely can one conceivably come across an exception or two and that too possibly from amongst the urban elites. Because:
(1) A girl or a woman in the tradition bound non- permissive Society of India would be extremely reluctant even to admit that any incident which is likely to reflect on her chastity had ever occurred.
(2) She would be conscious of the danger of being ostracised by the Society or being looked down by the Society including by her own family members, relatives, friends and neighbours.
(3) She would have to brave the whole world.
(4) She would face the risk of losing the love and respect of her own husband and near relatives, and of her matrimonial home and happiness being shattered.
(5) If she is unmarried, she would apprehend that it would be difficult to secure an alliance with a suitable match from a respectable or an acceptable family.
(6) It would almost inevitably and almost invariably result in mental torture and suffering to herself.
(7) The fear of being taunted by others will always haunt her.
(8) She would feel extremely embarrassed in relating the incident to others being over powered by a feeling of shame on account of the upbringing in a tradition bound society where by and large sex is taboo.
(9) The natural inclination would be to avoid giving publicity to the incident lest the family name and family honour is brought into controversy.
(10) The parents of an unmarried girl as also the husband and members of the husband's family of a married woman would also more often than not, want to avoid publicity on account of the fear of social stigma on the family name and family honour.
(11) The fear of the victim herself being considered to be promiscuous or in some way responsible for the incident regardless of her innocence.
(12) The reluctance to face interrogation by the investigating agency, to face the court, to face the cross examination by Counsel for the culprit, and the risk of being disbelieved, acts as a deterrent."

# State of Maharashtra vs, Chandraprakash Kewalchand Jain, (1990) 1 SCC 550
the Hon'ble Apex Court had held as under :-
"It is necessary at tile outset to state what the approach of the Court should be while evaluating the prosecution evidence, particularly the evidence of the prosecutrix, in sex-offences. Is it essential that the evidence of the prosecutrix should be corroborated in material particulars before the Court basis a conviction on her testimony? Does the rule of prudence demand that in all cases save the rarest of rare the Court should look for corroboration before acting on the evidence of the prosecutrix? Let us see if the Evidence Act provides the clue. Under the said statute 'Evidence' means and includes all statements which the Court permits or requires to be made before it by witnesses, in relation to the matters of fact under inquiry. Under Section 59 all facts, except the contents of documents, may be proved by oral evidence. Section 118 then tells us who may give oral evidence. According to that section all per- sons are competent to testify unless the Court considers that they are prevented from understanding the questions put to them, or from giving rational answers to those questions, by tender years, extreme old age, disease, whether of body or mind, or any other cause of the same kind. Even in the case of an accompliceSection 133 provides that he shall be a competent witness against an accused person; and a conviction is not illegal merely because it proceeds upon the uncorroborated testimony of an accomplice. However, illustration (b) to Section. 114, which lays down a rule of practice, says that the Court 'may' presume that an accomplice is unworthy of credit, unless he is corroborated in material particulars. Thus under Section 133, which lays down a rule of law, an accomplice is a competent witness and a conviction based solely on his uncorroborated evidence is not illegal although in view of Section 114, illustration (b)."
18. No doubt to insist on corroboration except in the rarest of rare cases is to equate a woman who is a victim of the lust of another with an accomplice to a crime and thereby insult womanhood. It would be adding insult to injury to tell a woman that her story of woe will not be believed unless it is corroborated in material particulars as in the case of an accomplice to a crime. Ours is a conservative society where it concerns sexual behaviour. Ours is not a permissive society as in some of the western and European countries. Our standard of decency and morality in public life is not the same as in those countries. It is, however, unfortunate that respect for womanhood in our country is on the decline and cases of molestation and rape are steadily growing. An Indian woman is now required to suffer indignities in different forms, from lewd remarks to eve-teasing, from molestation to rape. Decency and morality in public life can be promoted and protected only if we deal strictly with those who violate the societal norms. The standard of proof to be expected by the court in such cases must take into account the fact that such crime are generally committed on the sly and very rarely direct evidence of a person other than the prosecutrix is available.
19. In
# State of Punjab vs. Gurmit Singh, 1996 (2) SCC page 384
the following observation were made by the Hon'ble Apex Court:-
"The courts must, while evaluating evidence, remain alive to the fact that in a case of rape, no self-respecting woman would come forward in a court just to make a humiliating statement against her honour such as is involved in the commission of rape on her. In cases involving sexual molestation, supposed considerations which have no material effect on the veracity of the prosecution case or even discrepancies in the statement of the prosecutrix should not, unless the discrepancies are such which are of fatal nature, be allowed to throw out an otherwise reliable prosecution case. The inherent bashfulness of the females and the tendency to conceal outrage of sexual aggression are factors which the Courts should not over-look. The testimony of the victim in such cases is vital and unless there are compelling reasons which necessitate looking for corroboration of her statement, the courts should find no difficulty to act on the testimony of a victim of sexual assault alone to convict an accused where her testimony inspires confidence and is found to be reliable. Seeking corroboration of her statement before relying upon the same, as a rule, in such cases amounts to adding insult to injury. Why should the evidence of a girl of a woman who complains of rape or sexual molestation, be viewed with doubt, disbelief or suspicion? The Court while appreciating the evidence of a prosecutrix may look for some assurance of her statement to satisfy its judicial conscience, since she is a witness who is interested in the outcome of the charge levelled by her, but there is no requirement of law to insist upon corroboration of her statement to base conviction of an accused. The evidence of a victim of sexual assault stands almost at par with the evidence of an injured witness and to an extent is even more reliable. Just as a witness who has sustained some injury in the occurrence, which is not found to be self inflicted, is considered to be a good witness in the sense that he is least likely to shield the real culprit, the evidence of a victim of a sexual offence is entitled to great weight, absence of corroboration notwithstanding. Corroborative evidence is not an imperative component of judicial credence in every case of rape. Corroboration as a condition for judicial reliance on the testimony of the prosecutrix is not a requirement of law but a guidance of prudence under given circumstances. It must not be over-looked that a woman or a girl subjected to sexual assault is not an accomplice to the crime but is a victim of another persons's lust and it is improper and undesirable to test her evidence with a certain amount of suspicion, treating her as if she were an accomplice. Inferences have to be drawn from a given set of facts and circumstances with realistic diversity and not dead uniformity lest that type of rigidity in the shape of rule of law is introduced through a new form of testimonial tyranny making justice a casualty. Courts cannot cling to a fossil formula and insist upon corroboration even if, taken as a whole, the case spoken of by the victim of sex crime strikes the judicial mind as probable."
20. But on the same hand where the evidence of the prosecutrix is found suffering from serious infirmities and inconsistencies as other material, prosecutrix making deleberate improvements on material point with a view to rule out consent of her part and there being no injury on her person even though her version may be otherwise, no reliance can be placed upon her evidence. As has been held in
# Suresh N. Bhusare vs. State of Maharashtra, (1999) 1 SCC page 220.
21. In the same context, The Hon'ble Apex Court in
# Jai Krishna Mandal vs. State of Jharkhand, (2010) 14 SCC page 354
has observed as follows:-
"The only evidence of rape was the statement of the prosecutrix herself and when this evidence was read in its totality, the story projected by the prosecutrix was so improbable that it could not be believed."
22. The courts while trying an accused on the charge of rape, must deal with the case with utmost sensitivity, examining the broader probabilities of a case and not get swayed by minor contradictions or insignificant discrepancies in the evidence of witnesses which are not of a substantial character. However, even in a case of rape, the onus is always on the prosecution to prove, affirmatively each ingredient of the offence it seeks to establish and such onus never shifts. It is no part of the duty of the defence to explain as to how and why in a rape case the victim and other witness have falsely implicated the accused. Prosecution case has to stand on its own legs and cannot take support from the weakness of the case of defence. However great the suspicion against the accused and however strong the moral belief and conviction of the court, unless the offence of the accused is established beyond reasonable doubt on the basis of legal evidence and material on the record, he cannot be convicted for an offence.
23. There is an initial presumption of innocence of the accused and the prosecution has to bring home the offence against the accused by relying evidence. The accused is entitled to the benefit of every reasonable doubt vide,
# AIR 1979 Supreme Court page 186, (Tukaram and another vs. State of Maharashtra)
# AIR 2003 Supreme Court page 1639, (Udai vs. State of Karnataka).
24. The statement of the victim was recorded by the trial court which does not inspire confidence because the victim PW-2 has stated that the accused took her to her sister's house. There her sister and her brother-in-law and his brother locked her in a room and she was raped by the brother-in-law of her sister. This is a bit not a palatable case that why a sister would get her own real sister being raped in her house for months together. Further, as per the prosecution version, the victim was detained for many months by the accused whenever, her father and relatives went to meet her they were not permitted to meet her. PW-1 Babu has stated that he went 4 to 5 times to meet the victim but he was not permitted to do so. On 10.05.2011, again he went to meet her daughter with Pappu Chamar, his wife Munni, Gokul and mother of the victim but Kiran and accused appellant and other said that the victim has eloped away. They heard the weeping sounds of the victim at which they entered the house and saw that the victim was locked in a room. A very strange averment brought fourth by this witness is that due to shame the victim did not tell them anything. When they went home, the victim narrated the whole occurrence. He also stated that the victim told him that she was also threatened to be set on fire if she resisted, which is wanting in the first information report, which has been written after due consultation with an Advocate. Further the victim PW-2 has stated that she was locked in the room by the appellant, Kiran, her real sister and Nripati her real brother-in-law. Whenever, her parents used to come to take her, they used to lock her inside the room and did not termed her to meet her parents. She has stated that they told her parents that she had gone to her relative's house. This is in contradiction to the statement of PW-1. According to whom, the accused persons said that the victim had eloped. she has further stated that when she was taken out of the room by her parents and other people, Kishor, Kiran, Nripati and Ramawati assaulted her parents, the victim and her family members who had come along. She has admitted that she stayed at the house of her sister for three months. there is no latrin in the house. She used to go out of the house to attend the call of nature but she did not meet anybody there. Why she did not raise alarm for three months is a million dollar question which remains unanswered through out the trial. She has further stated that Kishor used to make signs and gestures to call her in the room, this was stated by her to the I.O. If at all Kishor used to call her by gestures and signs in her room then obviously it would be a case of consent, inasmuch as, the age of the victim on the date of occurrence was above 18 years, whereas the age of consent on the date of occurrence was 16 years.
25. PW-5 is Munni Devi, the mother of the victim who has stated that when the accused took the victim to his house, 15 days after that her father went to bring her back but the accused said that they would later on send the victim. This is the third story coming forth from the side of the prosecution. As per this witness, again after 15 days, her husband went to bring the victim when her weeping sound was heard and she was recovered, thus, according to the version of this witness, the victim was detained in the house of the accused only for one month. The statement of this witness shatters the whole prosecution case.
26. Counsel for the appellant has further submitted that there was some money dispute between the parties due to which the appellant had been falsely implicated. This finds support from the version of the prosecution witnesses, inasmuch as, Babu PW-1 has admitted that at Kotra Police Station, he was forced to sign some papers by the police. Even the victim has stated that when the victim and her family members went to the police station Nripati, Kiran and Kishor threatened them and got the compromise deed written, which was got signed by the victim, her father and the thumb impression of her mother were forcible obtained on that paper. Even the mother of the victim has stated about this paper which is Exhibit Ka-2 on record. This paper was got proved by the prosecution itself who placed reliance on this document. This document says that Nripati had moved an application on behalf of his wife Kiran against his father-in-law and brother-in-law against which Babu had moved an application in the police station but the parties compromised. They did not want any action to be taken in the matter and Nripati Singh, accused also compromised by agreeing to pay Rs. 25,000/- in the marriage of the victim which again goes to show that a handsome amount was desired to be extracted from Nripati, accused the son-in-law of the informant.
27. The medical evidence does not support the prosecution version. The statement of all the witnesses are unreliable, improbable and contradictory to each other. The first information report was got scribed with the assistance of an Advocate. Even in the statement of the victim recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C., she has stated that after some days since she was brought from her house, her parents came to the house of the accused and got her set free. This statement is against the statement of the victim recorded in court according to which she stayed in the house of the accused for about three months. Thus, the prosecutrix has been changing her version again and again which makes her testimony unreliable and unworthy of credence.
28. Thus, on what has been said and discussed above, the prosecution has miserably failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt against the present appellant and the appeal is liable to be allowed.
29. Accordingly the appeal is allowed.
30. The judgment and order of conviction and sentence dated 30.06.2015, passed by Additional Sessions Judge / F.T.C., Jalaun at Orai, in S.T. No. 113 of 2012 (State vs. Kishor), arising out of Case Crime No. 52 of 2012, under Sections 323, 504, 506, 376 I.P.C. and S.T. No. 124 of 2012 (State vs. Nripati), arising out of Case Crime No. 52 of 2012, under Sections 323, 504, 506 I.P.C., Police Station Kotra, District Jalaun, as against the present appellant, is hereby set aside.
31. The appellant namely Kishor is in jail. He shall be released forthwith in this case. However, the appellant is directed to comply with the provision of Section 437-A Cr.P.C.
32. Let a certified copy of this judgment be sent to the court concerned.

You can't help but wonder when you look at the site — is Inbox Dollars legit? It actually is. You really can earn money there, although it may build up rather slowly depending on what you do on the site. But just as it is with Swagbucks, the time it takes to participate is minimal.
Currently Inbox Dollars is open to US only. But, if you're in Canada, you can sign up at Daily Rewards (the Canadian version of the site).
Here's how you can earn actual cash money with Inbox Dollars:
- Get a $5 bonus just for signing up!
- Surveys
- Games
- Shopping
- Videos
- Tasks
- Coupons
- Offers
- Referring Friends
- Opening Emails
- Downloading and Using the Toolbar to Search
- They add more ways on a regular basis!
As you can see, many of the ways you can earn here are similar to how you can accumulate points on Swagbucks. The more of these things you do, the more you can earn.
I personally only do the emails and the videos because those take the least time and I get about two cents for every email I open and every video I watch. In my opinion, that's some pretty quick easy cash that builds up over time. I also earn referral credits whenever anyone signs up under me, and the fact that you can integrate your Inbox Dollars account with Facebook helps with this because if I earn cash for doing some things, it appears in my news feed. People get curious, click the link, and sign up themselves.
A Note About the Paid Emails
Despite being called "Inbox Dollars," it appears they no longer send out the paid emails. I haven't received one in over a year.
Inbox Dollars Videos
I also want to talk about this feature because it's so very easy to do. When you log in, go to the videos section and you'll be taken to a page to fill out a quick, three question survey. After you do that, the video links will appear.
Most videos pay two cents each and last between five and thirty seconds. Just click the button to play each video and while you're watching, look for the numbers to scroll across the side of the screen. There will be two different numbers and they won't appear at the same time, which is why you have to watch closely.
When the video is over, simply put the numbers you remember seeing into the box provided, and that's it! Again, your account will be credited for the videos generally the same day or the next day. Don't panic if your money doesn't appear in your account right away — it will get there.
Inbox Dollars Offers
The people who earn the most from Inbox Dollars also take the time to fill out the various offers. You should create another email specifically for these offers so your personal email isn't filled with junk if you decide to try these. Many are completely free to fill out while others might require a credit card so you can sign up for a free trial.
Getting Paid
You can't get paid by Inbox Dollars until you have accumulated $30. Once you reach the $30 mark, a check will be processed and mailed to you within 20 to 30 days.
As soon as you reach the payout threshold the first time, you'll be promoted to what Inbox Dollars calls a "Gold Member." This means that you'll get a portion of the earnings of members who didn't sign up under someone else's referral link, and you'll also get faster pay so the next time you hit $30, you won't have to wait nearly a month on your check.
The checks for Gold Members get processed within three to nine days after they're requested.
Referring Friends
You can get a 10 percent bonus off whatever your referred friends earn when they do certain things on Inbox Dollars.
Please keep in mind that earning from your friends does NOT affect them negatively. Your 10 percent commission isn't deducted from their earnings — it's a bonus that Inbox Dollars awards to you for referring people to use the site.
Should You Sign Up?
I admit that it took a long time for me to decide to jump on board here. I knew lots of people who were doing Inbox Dollars and constantly telling me how much fun it was and how they had really gotten paid. At the time, I was doing Swagbucks and didn't see any reason to add anything else like it to my plate. However, I ended up signing on anyway and now I'm up to nearly $18.
Even though the money has accumulated a little slowly seeing as how I don't do much else besides videos and paid emails, I don't care because it takes very minimal time to do and I know that I'll need that $30 whenever I do finally get it.
You can definitely accumulate your money here faster than I am if you participate in more than me on the site, but by just doing the emails and the videos, you'll earn a little here and there that will build up slowly over time.
Also, they give you $5 just for signing up! That is one perk a lot of similar sites don't offer and helps to get you a little closer to that $30 mark.
Want to Get Started Earning?
You can sign up here for Inbox Dollars if you're in the US.
Are you in Canada? Sign up at Daily Rewards, the Canadian version of Inbox Dollars.

Showered With Roses
Thank you for sharing my happiness! (Well, "happiness" is lame, but I'm trying to maintain a professional veneer. Even though you all KNOW I've been dancing around the house with a stupid grin on my face for days.)
I'm going to post the Authoress Gets An Agent story after Christmas. Until then, a couple of tidbits:
Josh has added me to his client list as "Authoress." You've gotta love a guy who will play along with my alternate personality, yes? See it HERE.
For the many who have asked: Yes, I will reveal my real name (anticlimactic, I'm sure) when we've got a book deal. I'd rather not have "Authoress" on my book covers. And, yes, I'd like you all to know who I am so you can come to my book signings and introduce yourselves by your screen names.
(How many people get the opportunity to hear things like, "Hello, I'm Screaming Guppy!" in public?)
You've been a part of my journey as much as I've been a part of yours. I'm so grateful to be "knit into" this community.
You rock!
Truly. Thank you.

Authoress... I only just discovered your blog this month and am so disappointed I missed the journey! Congrats on what I'm sure must feel like a dream come true. God willing, I will walk in your footsteps (blogwise, bookwise and other). Best of luck on your book deal. Please continue blogging now that I'm here!!
ReplyDeleteAuthoress, you keep me going! Seriously. Just got a bruising rejection the other day and was headed toward serious pouting when I was reminded that you'd announced getting an agent. Off I went to revamp the query and cast it out again!
I can't wait to get my hands on your book (I know, long wait, but still) and it would be so awesome to get to meet you in person! It's so fun meeting the Screaming Guppies. I still laugh thinking back on the first Sirens conference when Kristin Cashore spoke, and paused to ask if Artemis was in attendance and I got to be like 'yeah, fuzzy-headed Clark Kent right over here' :D
Again, CONGRATS!!!I'm so extremely happy for you, Authoress. I'm more of a lurker than a poster, but this deserves posting. You are an inspiration to us "non-agented" writers, because, now, *drumroll" you are no longer in that category. Yea!!! And yes, we've traveled that road with you, and you always give us hope. Thank you for that. For your commitment and dedication, for your genuine love and concern and for your professional demeanor. But by all means, dance around the house! You so deserve it. Congrats. Truly. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteThis just goes to show that by giving you get so much more. Dear Authoress 'official' you emmersed yourself in the art of writing seen from all angles (editors, agents, and fellow writers). Yoyu alteady were good at your craft, and got better as did we all.
Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, and a great New Year to all.I mostly lurk, but I really appreciate all that you do for everyone! You are an amazing lady, and don't you ever forget it :).
Congrats on the agent, and I agree- it rocks he's keeping you listed as "Authoress" on Publishers Marketplace :).
Have a wonderful Christmas and an amazing new year!

The remarkable diversity of the morphologies of viruses found in terrestrial hydrothermal environments with temperatures >80°C is unprecedented for aquatic ecosystems. The best-studied viruses from these habitats have been assigned to novel viral families: Fuselloviridae, Lipothrixviridae and Rudiviridae. They all have double-stranded DNA genomes and infect hyperthermophilic crenarchaea of the orders Sulfolobales and Thermoproteales. Representatives of the different viral families share a few homologous ORFs (open reading frames). However, about 90% of all ORFs in the seven sequenced genomes show no significant matches to sequences in public databases. This suggests that these hyperthermophilic viruses have exceptional biochemical solutions for biological functions. Specific features of genome organization, as well as strategies for DNA replication, suggest that phylogenetic relationships exist between crenarchaeal rudiviruses and the large eukaryal DNA viruses: poxviruses, the African swine fever virus and Chlorella viruses. Sequence patterns at the ends of the linear genome of the lipothrixvirus AFV1 are reminiscent of the telomeric ends of linear eukaryal chromosomes and suggest that a primitive telomeric mechanism operates in this virus.

text: Selfridges Rallies For Body Positivity and Diversity in Latest Campaign VideoJE Reich4/19/16 9:35pmFiled to: SelfridgesBody PositivityIncredible Machines938EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkWould you like to see an excellent short, creative film that headlines a bevy of inspirational and badass women, who do inspirational and badass things on the daily, across all inspirational and badass spectrums? WELL THEN. AdvertisementTitled Incredible Machines, the mini-feature was released by the famed British department store to celebrate the opening of their brand new Body Studio, a 37,000-square foot space described by their site as a a new "hub" that aims to bring patrons "the latest in fashion, fitness and wellbeing." Their wares include lingerie, hosiery, loungewear, and sportswear.Featuring body activist and professional model Naomi Shimada, trans activist Charlie Craggs, fashion industry mover and shaker Michèle Lamy, WAH Nails founder Sharmadean Reid, and Thai boxing champion Rusqsana Begum, Incredible Machines orbits around a set of unequivocal truths: that we should "treat our bodies kindly," that "they're actually incredible machines that do so many amazing things very well," and that when it comes to the media's depreciation of those concepts, "maybe we take that for granted."AdvertisementThis idea is supported by some of the first few opening lines of the film itself: "Men dream of women, men look at women, women watch themselves being looked at. [...] Behind every glance is a judgement. Sometimes the glance they meet is their own."The emotional lynchpin of Incredible Machines comes from Craggs, who details her struggle to not only find happiness with her body, but to triumph over external adversarial forces. "For two decades, I spent my life wearing the wrong gender's underwear," she says in the short, "and I was so uncomfortable. I fought my battle, and now I've won. I'm wearing my glory."Sponsored"Why is every one scared of being a size 14?" asks Shimada. "Why is there, like, so much anxiety and shame attached to that?""I want the tokenism to be taken away. There just needs to be more of everything [portrayed in the media], that's the only way to truly diversify and create a new aesthetic," she adds.AdvertisementIn tandem with the release of the short, director Kathryn Ferguson went on the record to speak out against the correlation between unattainable beauty standards and objectification, as well as the stark realities faced by ordinary women on a daily basis. "For so long underwear advertising has been dominated by sexualised imagery of women in heightened poses and impossible designs. When in reality, this is worlds apart from the everyday act of putting on your pants and the choices we make in the morning. I hope the film helps to cut through the noise and show amazing women appearing stripped back, as they are, speaking truthfully. All five have achieved great things and for that reason I wanted to go back to basics - finding out how they felt about themselves. I would love people to feel inspired by these women; leaving them more positive and celebratory of their own bodies." This isn't the first time Selfridges has gotten behind the fight for body inclusivity. Earlier this year, the department store became one of the first retailers to showcase performer Beth Ditto's plus-size fashion collection.Contact the author at email@example.com via YouTube.JE Reich@jereichwritesContributor, JezebelReply93 repliesLeave a reply

http://www.vcstar.com/news/2012/may/24/bangkok-5-free-things-for-visitors-to-do/ Chaos is part of Bangkok's charm. But the savvy traveler quickly learns how to navigate Bangkok's legendary traffic jams and discover its soul, a mix of urban jungle and Buddhist serenity where shopping and eating are national pastimes. Despite the weak dollar, Bangkok remains one of the best deals in Asia. Some of the world's tastiest street food sells for as little as 25 baht (80 cents) a plate. Beat traffic by zipping down side streets in a tuk-tuk or cruising up the Chao Praya on public express boats for stunning views of the city's premier attractions - both for about a dollar. Other favorite outings are free: Read more: http://www.vcstar.com/news/2012/may/24/bangkok-5-free-things-for-visitors-to-do/#ixzz1vnzZaT3K - vcstar.com
PARKS I am not a first time visitor in Bangkok. Thus, I strive to discover new little oasis during my regular sojourns there. Something that gives me an insight in local customs and traditions is seeing how the local community uses their local parks. They are FREE and reasonably well kept. These images are from Sati Phap park as 10 mns walk from Victory Monument and with one exit straight into Soi Rangnam where you can enjoy some sea food later. The elephant is a much loved animal and symbol here. This is a topiary version. Water images are soothing...the fountain jets were not operational at that time of the day. Exercise is for everyone and is great to see all ages getting involved Time for the family, friends and children, a regular lovely feature in most civilised society. Water a calming feature Gyms do not need to be expensive to be effective The park has a good size path for either jogging... ...or just walking. and if you are feeling a little "Khee Giiat" (lazy) there is always a water feature to take photos of. Giorgio Federico
The six shrines tour This is pleasant tour that one can cover within one day and most importantly it is FREE and it comes with a feel good factor. So take a seat and let me guide you through. You may or may not know that there are six shrines in Bangkok and they are all conveniently located in the premier shopping district of Ratchaprasong. The shrines are Hindu/Buddhist and the most famous of them all is that depicting a statue of a four faced Brahma Sahampati. However, to most people this is simply known as the Erawan shrine and urban myth has it that those who pray to this Buddha will have their wishes come true. The shrine enjoys the presence of regular Thai dancers, traditionally attired and who are a delight to watch. Optional: you can also buy your candles and garlands here at a much lower price than the one offered outside the main gate. You will see the counter at the end to your right once you enter the main gates. The other five shrines are Phra Tri Murati or Trimurti shrine and Phra Bighanesh or Ganesh shrine located both by Central World (Trimurti is a very popular shrine) Phra Indra or Indra shrine (by the Amarin Plaza) Phra Narayana song suban or Narayana shrine (in front of the Intercontinental hotel) Phra-mae Lakshmi or Lakshmi shrine. The latter is the most challenging to find and you will need to go into Gaysorn shopping mall and take the elevator to the fourth floor and step out onto the roof top garden. Avoid the mistake of taking the escalators because this will only take you to the third floor. If you are the spiritual type and wish to know what you are praying for then here is a little guidance: If you want to pray for LOVE go to the Trimurti shrine (now you know why it is so popular) If you want to pray for Creativity and Protection go to the Ganesh shrine This is NOT the shrine, just local musicians. If you want to pray for human kind go to the Indra shrine Remember to light a candle If you want to pray for well-being go to the Narayana shrine Cleanse your hands with the water from this amphora If you want to pray for wealth and fertility go to the Lakshmi shrine Dancers wearing traditional costumes, a very graceful display If you want to pray for good fortunes go to the Erawan shrine And ah, please remember to include me in your prayers!! When it's all done, head for some shopping. Giorgio Federico
Jatujak (or Chatuchak) Market If you are near a MRT station (the Bangkok Metro) this will take you straigh there. No need to head inside this mall, the exit you want is to the left There is an information centre and restrooms are available before the exit On the way back you will need to go through the metal detector Go early in the morning if you can This exit at Kamphaeng is right inside the market. How convenient is that? This is not the first time I visit this weekend market and every time I manage to get a little disoriented as this also happens to be the largest (if not the largest is right up there at the top) market in the world. You can just walk around and browse... ...food everywhere and the temptation to buy a snack will be there walking next to you... I have in the past purchased local handicrafts, tee shirts, collectables and even second hand goods and other times I have just browsed and enjoyed food and drink interludes. They even have the latest iPad for sale. Here is one. There is no denying that this place adds colourful character to Bangkok and with 10,000 shops, 300 vendors and 27 shopping zones, I am not surprised. It also has its own clock built by the Jatujak Administration and the Thai-Chinese Chamber of Commerce to celebrate the sixth anniversary of his Majesty the King, Rama IX. On Fridays there is a wholesale day from 06.00 to 18.00 hrs and on Saturday and Sundays there is a miscellaneous of just about everything at the same times. Wonderful stuff and very cheap too...drinks at 13thb (that is 20 pence, more or less) Whatever you need, you are likely to find it here Time to take a rest This warning was quite thoughtful For 35 thb, who is complaining? These two young ladies served around twenty covers from this little corner. They were incredibly efficient. This young man carved soap into flowers before passerbys and then painted it With more than 200,000 visitors each weekend day, he should have secured some sales. Mango was very tasty For a good night sleep all you need is...love!! Buskers improvised impromptu performances Cha Manao (Tea with lemon) Worthy of note is that since 2008, a smoking ban is in force for the entire market. Jatujak is a great place to visit as long as you do not mind people and the heat. Giorgio Federico
Terminal 21 I have seen the future and it departs from Terminal 21. This is one the most recent of the big shopping centres opened in Bangkok and it is themed on airports and cities. The spacious concourse can be accessed at Asoke (odd side number on Sukhumvit) and if you have reached Asoke by the BTS skytrain, there is access provided on the mezzanine. Follow exit 4 and bear left to see the signage leading to the entrance. There are nine floors inside and the crescent shaped reception counter is attended by staff wearing hostess like uniforms inclusive of hats. A display above the counter provides basic information as to which floor corresponds to which city. As you step on the first escalator a sign above your head will read "Departure for level 1" and just before you arrive another sign above your head will read "Arriving at level 1" I am not sufficiently knowledgeable to say how long a themed centre like Terminal 21 will last but what I can share with you is that there are enough brand name shops and little boutiques. However, I am not sure how many shoppers are fighting over them. These two better move that column out of the way first. There is something allowing you to engage your camera interest for a few hours of your day here. A great way for some people to say that they have been to London... ...and Paris? In case you cannot wait, I will tell you that currently the following locations are featured: The Caribbean, Rome, Paris, Tokyo, London, Istanbul, San Francisco and Hollywood. hmm, something looks familiar... Centro Storico di Roma in Bangkok?? Via Condotti did not quite look this way last time I went to see my mum. What made the owners and designers chose these cities over others remains a mystery. Answers on a postcard please. On the fifth floor, you will find Pier 21, an excellent food court, where the food is freshly prepared and attractively presented and where the price policy is in competition with the street vendors so much so that sticky rice and mango is sold for 60 baht in nearby soi 11 but will sell at only 35 baht here. Bottled water is 10 baht and a coke and ice even cheaper at 7 baht. It is alleged that thatCitybank put most of the money in to provide a canteen for their employees. The top floor is overlooked by a giant reproduction of the Oscar statuette and aptly named Hollywood. I will be on a mission to check out their cinema theatre on a future visit. ...and ACTION!! The place is, as you can see, scrupulously well maintained...thanks to a friendly team of cleaners. And, would you believe it?The toilet on each floor also follow the city themes. Which one is this? with the cubicles inclusive of a "surprise"!! Now, this is what I call great customer service. Giorgio Federico
The themed floors remind me of Grand Indonesia in Jakarta, and its bizarre NYC inclusion of an 8th Ave. subway line and a copy of the statue above the ice skating rink in Rockefeller Center. But if they think they can replicate a slice...
Here are my impressions of Terminal 21 ... a great A/Ced place to spend a day More photos can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kalboz/sets/72157629142637779/with/6605679037/
I'm not impressed with the shopping there (not my style), but I LOVE the food court where I can get my favorite street foods at street prices but in clean and a/c comfort I don't quite get some of the chain type stores but I guess if I was a resident of Thailand rather than a visitor they might have more appeal. terminal 21 is right next to the Westin, and across the street from the Sheraton Grande
I don't much like Bangkok at all, but when I'm there, I don't mind a stroll on Soi Arab (Sukhumvit Soi 3), Foodland or any of the city's nicest supermarkets. The diverse crowd plowing into the metropolis on a daily basis means a wide variety of f&b available for one's perusal. The one in the Emporium usually comes to mind, but there's another by the InterContinental that I can't recall.
It sounds like you don't actually see the real Bangkok but prefer the foreigner side of things. It's akin to saying, "I don't like San Francisco but I enjoy Chinatown."
"Why, Sir, you find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford." — Samuel Johnson to Boswell while discussing whether or not Boswell's affection for London would wear thin should he choose to live there, as opposed to the zest he felt on his occasional visits. This discussion happened on September 20, 1777, and Johnson, someone who hated to spend time alone, was always going out and enjoying what London had to offer. "I don't much like Bangkok at all" wrote Tad's Broiled Steaks "Why, Sir, you find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave Bangkok. No, Sir, when a man is tired of Bangkok, he is not just tired of life, he is probably dead, for there is in Bangkok all that life can afford nowadays" - Giorgio Federico to Tad's Broiled steaks in response to the latter's post on "Bangkok: 5 free things for visitors to do". This comment was posted on 24 August 2012 and Giorgio Federico, someone who was not too impressed with unsubstantiated subjective comments, was often going out enjoying the metropolis only to go back home and write about how much Bangkok had to offer on Milepoint.com This is me in a pensive mood, I think they call it contemplation. Hmm or is it Om? Giorgio Federico
You might be on to something...I DON'T like Bangkok, PARTICULARLY after wading through it's dead-end sois, disliking most of the food and getting kicked by bikers while looking at a map. I have zero reason to believe it is a land of genuine smiles, and I would as soon run like the dickens from an offer of a free trip to the bay area as I would Bangkok. Gee, even though San Francisco has arguably the world's most famous Chinatown, it might still be a tourist's only favorite spot in the city. And right, if there was one spot in Bangkok all foreigners enjoy the most, it has to be where the Syrian Embasy is located. By the by, I'm pretty sure dissenting opinions are allowed on MilePoint.
Another Bangkok activity that is almost free is taking the Chao Phraya Tourist Boat (orange boat) from Saphan Taksin pier to the end of the line and back. For less than a dollar (THB 30), you get to see the real Bangkok from 5-star hotels, to temples & palaces, to historical churches & embassies, to over the river teak houses. Hotels Galore: the Shangri La, the Peninsula Bangkok, Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Millennium Hilton, and the Royal Orchid Sheraton (ROS) lined up along the river.River City Mall & the ROS on the leftChao Phraya River Tourist Boat ticket for THB 30The East Asiatic Company, the owner of the new riverside Asiatique: Located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River in the Old Farang Quarter, is a Venetian-style edifice constructed in 1901.Chinese Pagoda - Chee Chin Khor Temple: photo taken January 2005
Chao Pharaya River - Continued: Siam Commercial Bank which is still in operation: Italian architect, Annibale Rigotti (1870 – 1968) designed this first branch of the bank at Talad Noi on the banks of the Chao Phraya just next to the Holy Rosary Church (note its Catholic school on the right), Samphanthawong, the old quarter of Bangkok. The construction lasted from 1906 – 1910.Bangkok Customs House: Located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River in the Old Farang Quarter, it was built in the 1880s. It exterior is now crumbling.Approaching Wat Arun: Temple of the Dawn - I took this photo back in January 2005, 3 weeks after the Tsunami. Forgive the slight finger on the upper left as it was a huge camera! The Orange Tourist Boat!The Old Farang Quarter between the Shangri-La & Mandarin Oriental hotels: 100 years ago this was the Nana of their time with hustling and bustling port and related traffic and commerce.
Ah, Wat Rong Khun in Chiang Rai. I love that it is constantly changing. I was first there in 2004 and each visit has brought additions and change that is fantastic. And it's still free.
It sounds to me like you dislike the foreigner areas of Bangkok (AKA farangtown). Have you ever been to non-tourist areas? I'm guessing not. Dissent is certainly allowed and I'm in no way attempting to cut down your freedom to state what you desire. However to claim you don't like something when you've superficially explored is rather sad.
[...And right, if there was one spot in Bangkok all foreigners enjoy the most, it has to be where the Syrian Embasy is located. By the by, I'm pretty sure dissenting opinions are allowed on MilePoint.[/quote] Jonathan /(Tad's) (or at least that is the name that you go by on your blog) I did not view your posts (both) as being expressions of disagreement. To the contrary, personally I welcome views which are different to mine as long as they are well reasoned. It is also a credit to Milepoint that it allows all views even when they may not be correct (including mine). What struck me on this occasion was the random choice of your examples, which appeared to denote they were isolated experiences and they way you constructed your argument, was akin to a narrow view because you did not back it up with objective examples. Given also what you wrote on your own blog about Bangkok, which I have read after reading your follow on reply, seems to confirm that your wherabouts in Bangkok were limited to Soi 3, that you have a penchant for Arab food and that you enjoy mango and sticky rice. I noticed that you seem to have an interest for architecture and I enjoyed reading what you wrote on the two buildings you reviewed but I note that you seem to have decided not to venture out and explore the myriad of opportunities that Bangkok offers, even to the untrained eye, to people with an interest for still shapes and history and art. And now, aside to criticising the city as a whole, you seem to include a slightly political undertone to the discussion!! I did not intend to single you out as a person (that we do ourselves according to what we post) but you seem to be emarginating yourself with these comments because there is little substance to them. However, who am I, hardly a little scribbler, to make the case for Bangkok? Let's others put the argument forward as in http://newsroom.mastercard.com/wp-c...Card_Global_Destination_Cities_Index_2012.pdf or http://sukritha.hubpages.com/hub/MostPopularCitieArroundWorld or http://www.enjoyourholiday.com/2011/04/18/top-10-most-visited-cities-in-the-world/ My dear fellow, there must be something about Bangkok if it rates consistenly at the top and over 12 million people (and increasing) choose Bangkok as their destination every year. As always we see what we decide to see and I completely accept that Bangkok is not for you and please accept my olive branch as part of a cultural exchange by way of posting here. I wish you plenty of happiness and inexhaustible supplies of mango and sticky rice. Giorgio Federico
I also like Sukhumvit Soi 3/1 (or as the Thais call it: Soi Alab! ) with its assortments of middle eastern restaurants that serve fares such as falafel, hummus-b-tahini, tzatziki, tabouli, kibbeh, halal (kosher) lamb chops, and my most favorite baba ghanoch (meshed eggplant dish). Soi Arab is fairly entertaining and it is free to enter and visit. However, the last time I was there, it did not have a Syrian Embassy but rather a Consulate General (I am being a bit technical here!). To visit this street is not for everyone, but it is definitely a cultural experience. I posted previously here that the Soi is one of my favorite places for street food.

In 2009 a group of individuals from associations and educational institutions across North America came together to lower communication barriers, promote collaboration, and enhance the services we provide the interiorscape industry.
Leading the charge with the rallying cry of "Plants in Every Room!", Green Plants for Green Buildings' was chosen as the vehicle of the group's collaboration.
IIC's MISSION
To increase interiorscape industry awareness, raise industry professionalism, and promote the inclusion of plants in the interior environment through the collaborative efforts of the participating not-for-profit organziations and educational institutions.
One recent product of our collaboration is this brief video featuring interiorscape professionals speaking from their hearts about why they love their profession and encouraging students to think about a career in interiorscaping. This is the Coalition's response to recent news articles listing horticulture as a poor career choice (after journalism – we kid you not!)

Despite Microsoft's public proclamation that Windows 8 is selling well and that developers are all jumping on the Windows Store bandwagon, word on the street is that the makers of Windows 8 are not entirely happy about the rate of Windows 8 adoption.
Windows 8 is Microsoft's most radical update yet and given the significance of the new OS, response has thus far been underwhelming. Reportedly, sales figures have not reached Microsoft's internal projections and the company is blaming this on OEMs for lackluster hardware.
OEMs, however, are not happy to take the blame. Jeff Barney, VP of Toshiba America's PC and TV Business, said that things are different this time round as Windows is no longer the only OS in town.
"In the past Windows was the only game in town, when it was Windows 7 or Vista it was the big event of the year. These days it's a different environment."
Sony's VAIO Product Manager Dave McFarland agrees and added:
"The expectations of what we forecasted for — I don't want to say we're right on track — we're probably close to being on track to where we predicted," he said. "If I had to compare Windows Vista to Windows 7 versus Windows 7 to Windows 8, our sales numbers aren't as high as from the Vista to Windows 7 era."
This is to be expected given Microsoft did a pretty good job with Windows 7, unlike Vista, so many users do not feel as compelled to upgrade.
With Christmas coming up, Microsoft and OEMS alike will be hoping that the festive holiday will help give sales a much needed boost.

Learn about a little-known bit of Toronto's history with a theatre installation on the very spot where it all began in 1804. The Speedy tells the story of HMS Speedy, its passengers, and its doomed trip across Lake Ontario. When a Chippewa man is murdered by a white fur trader, the justice system is slow to react. The victim's impatient brother Ogetonicut exacts revenge, killing the fur trader. Justice moves more quickly this time, and 20 members of the court system board a ship that will take them to the trial in Newcastle—but it sinks en route, leaving the case forever unsettled.
