19 Months Later and Still Defying Conventional Wisdom
By Ken Magill
After 19 months, three dormant, dummy email addresses continue to defy conventional email-marketing wisdom in multiple ways.
As some readers are aware, in March of 2012 I set up three dummy accounts, one at Hotmail, one at Gmail and one at Yahoo, and signed them up for 30, 20 and 20 email lists, respectively.
The brands were a random mix of top retailers, non-top retailers, media, and liberal and conservative political lists.
With the exception of four brands that sent confirmation massages that required a response and one mistaken click I gave to Kroger in an attempt to scroll down, I have not opened or clicked on any of the messages received since I set up the accounts.
I began the experiment to see if mailers hitting a single, utterly disengaged email address would start getting shoved off into the spam folder.
When I set up the accounts a lot of people were saying inbox providers were increasingly making deliverability decisions at the individual level based on subscribers' interactivity or lack thereof.
"All of the major Internet service providers are moving swiftly toward subscriber-level deliverability based on individual engagement," wrote marketing keynote speaker and New York Times best-selling author Jay Baer in an article four years ago. "This means that whether or not you have opened or clicked on an email from a company in the past will directly impact whether you will receive that email in your inbox or spam folder in the future."
My three dummy accounts are evidence that statement was simply not true.
Only two brands are being sent to the Yahoo! account's spam folder: Priceline and Bon-Ton.
Also, whereas Radio Shack began getting delivered into my dummy Yahoo! account's spam folder as soon as it was set up, in March Radio Shack began landing in the account's inbox and has been getting delivered there regularly ever since.
My Hotmail account also had two brands in its spam folder: BJ's and True Value.
The Gmail account doesn't even have a spam folder.
None of the addresses is receiving any penis-enlargement, pornographic, affiliate, Nigerian 419 spam, or the like.
Conventional wisdom has it that sooner or later email addresses will begin getting spam merely by existing. With one exception, it's not happening.
The Gmail account is getting spammed by one commercial emailer. More on that in a moment.
Not surprisingly, the vast majority of the messages coming into the Gmail account are landing in the promotions folder.
The political newsletters I signed the Gmail account up for are going into the primary folder. So is the Magill Report.
Strangely, the primary folder also has one message from Daily Candy and one from Family Dollar.
Promotional messages from my cigar retailer are also landing in the primary folder.
Now for the spam:
The primary folder is also getting messages from a cigar-related content publisher and retailer I do not believe I registered the dummy Gmail account with. I did, however, register the dummy Gmail account with my preferred cigar retailer.
I figured if my cigar retailer was sharing addresses with others in the industry, my real Gmail account—where I know I didn't give the cigar-related content publisher and retailer my address—should be getting the same unsolicited messages.
I checked my real Gmail account and sure enough, I'm getting the cigar publisher's emails there, too.
Its newsletter says I'm getting the email because I have expressed interest in cigars either to the cigar-related content publisher and retailer or one of its partners.
I smoke one brand of cigars available from only one American retailer. I do not do business online or off with any other retailer. So there is no chance the messages from the cigar content publisher and retailer are the result of a purchase with that retailer.
Apparently, my sole source of cigars has shared my email address with another cigar retailer.
However, sending email to apparently acquired addresses doesn't look to be hurting the cigar-related content publisher and retailer's email deliverability at Gmail—another snub at conventional wisdom.
I am purposely not divulging the cigar-related content publisher and retailer's name because if it does start hitting Gmail's spam folders, I don't want it to be because an anti-spammer read about its less-than-stellar email marketing practices here.
Another thing all three addresses are lacking: reactivation messages. Or at least there are no messages containing subject lines that identify them as obvious reactivation efforts.
The email programs these addresses are subscribed to aren't local mom-and-pops. They're major retailers, presumably with major ESPs. [I can't open them and check the headers.] Shouldn't an address that has been inactive for more than a year and a half be getting at least some reactivation email?
And what does all this tell us? Conventional wisdom in email marketing is mostly crap. That's what it tells us.
The major inbox providers are not making spam-folder decisions on an individual engagement basis.
An email address isn't necessarily doomed to be swamped with spam merely by existing.
Email service providers don't "leak" addresses nearly as often—if at all—as some would have us believe. ESPs are far more secure than some would have us believe.
Reactivation emails aren't as popular as some ESPs would have us believe.
Major retailers and publishers for the most part don't share email addresses.
An email marketer can send messages to an acquired list and still get email delivered. [This is not recommended.]
Bottom line: Don't take anything anyone says in email marketing as gospel, even if a bunch of people are saying it.

Subject: engagement role
Thanks, Goran: Good point. I did originally have some real people send email into the accounts I could respond to to make them look like real accounts but I haven't done so in a while.

Subject: engagement role
Thanks for the great article and useful conclusions. However, maybe we need to include one more premise here: engagement for one sender might be a factor which is used relative to the overall registered engagement on one account. Since there is no engagement on your dummy accounts at all, there is no way to compare engagement levels for individual senders and "flag" some of them as more or less engaging. Those who got delivered to spam, probably did so because of their reputation or some other specific deliverability issue tied to the ISP in question.

Washington, D.C.'s The Darcy Joins Curio Collection by Hilton, Scheduled to Open Mid-2017
December 15, 2016 8:51am
MCLEAN, Va.-- Hilton (NYSE: HLT) today announced the signing of The Darcy, Curio Collection by Hilton, a global portfolio of distinctive upper upscale hotels that caters to travelers in search of local discovery and authentic experiences. The Darcy, Curio Collection by Hilton, is slated to open in mid-2017.
The 226-room hotel is in the heart of Washington, D.C., just off Scott Circle. Only three blocks from Dupont Circle and Logan Circle, and six blocks from the White House, The Darcy's central location will allow guests to easily visit the city's many monuments, attractions and museums, including the Verizon Center and Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery.
" We're excited to sign with KHP Capital Partners for our first Curio Collection hotel in our Nation's Capital," said Matt Wehling, senior vice president, development – North America, Hilton. " The Darcy's ideal location, within walking distance to Washington, D.C.'s major attractions, will be a huge draw for guests desiring an authentic, high-energy and high-quality experience that reflects and enhances Scott Circle, making it a perfect fit for the collection."
The Darcy will feature a timeless yet edgy design, focusing on clean and classic architecture with accents of distressed metals and bright colors. Subtle cherry blossom patterns and abstract artwork of magnolias will connect the hotel to D.C. As with all Curio properties, The Darcy will reflect the local spirit of its community, embodying the sophistication and energy of Washington.
"The Darcy will offer unparalleled, personalized service in the most convenient of locations in Washington, D.C.," said Tobias Arff, general manager of The Darcy.

Chefs Robert Wiedmaier and Brian McBride created the hotel's restaurant, Siren, which will feature locally sourced ingredients paired with the world's freshest seafood. Lil' B, an intimate coffee shop and eatery, will be led by celebrity Chef David Guas, who brings his New Orleans style to the cafe. Additional amenities will include a fitness center, business services, room service, valet parking, concierge services and programming with business and leisure travelers in mind.
The approximately 5,500 square feet of meeting space, which will allow for flexible room sizes and include contemporary, state-of-the-art audio visual options, will make The Darcy a well-situated choice for meetings and events in the center of Washington, D.C. The hotel is a ten-minute walk from Metro stations at Dupont Circle and McPherson Square and three miles from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
"As home to so many important cultural institutions and a blossoming restaurant and nightlife scene, Washington, D.C. is a natural choice for expansion of the Curio Collection," said Mark Nogal, global head of Curio – A Collection by Hilton. "The Darcy will provide a stylish alternative to the local area in addition to providing guests with a memorable hotel experience all with the reassurance of the Hilton name."

Here are some adjustments I have made in recent months to my dietary and nutritional needs. As an active athlete running his own business, I have researched extensively and tested the way I eat, and what I eat so as to achieve peak mental and physical fitness. Certainly, if I were to be injured or sick, I would still seek help from medical professionals to assist in my convalescence. However, I would also consider options that may be less dependent on pharmaceuticals and choose natural methods and solutions. There is no one panacea for any illness.
Here are some guidelines I follow:
Choose Your Food Properly
Generally speaking, you should be looking to focus your diet on whole, unprocessed foods (vegetables, meats, raw dairy, nuts, and so forth) that come from healthy, sustainable, local sources, such as a small organic farm. For optimal nutrition and health benefits, eat a good portion of your food raw, and make sure you're sourcing your meats and animal products from free-range, and organically-raised, grass-fed animals. Avoid fructose. Sugar, and fructose in particular, acts as a toxin in, and of itself, and as such drive multiple disease processes in your body, not the least of which is insulin resistance, a major cause of accelerated aging. Use whey protein ('gold standard') to repair and build damaged tissues after intense activities, or before you sleep.
Engage In A Comprehensive Exercise Program, including High-Intensity Exercise
Eat healthy and exercise just as hard. Exercise effectively, which means including core-strengthening exercises, strength training, stretching, and high-intensity activities. High-intensity interval-type training boosts human growth hormone (HGH) production, which is essential for optimal health, strength and vigor.
Reduce Your Stress and Engage In Positive Thinking
The emotional component of our health and longevity is vital, as your emotional state plays a role in nearly every physical. Effective coping mechanisms are a major longevity-promoting factor in part because stress has a direct impact on inflammation, which in turn underlies many of the chronic diseases that kill people prematurely every day. Energy psychology tools such as the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), meditation, prayer, social support and exercise are all viable options that can help you maintain emotional and mental equilibrium. Laugh as much as you can, too.
Proper Sun Exposure to Optimize Vitamin D
The 'sunshine vitamin' D comes from sun exposure, and if at all possible, I ensure you're getting out in the sun on a daily basis. There is preliminary evidence suggesting that oral vitamin D may not provide the identical benefits, although it's still better than none at all. Get out – into the sunlight. Nature provides anti-depression solutions. Beware the toxicity found in many sun-blocking sprays and creams (I stopped using such skin-suffocating chemicals). Melanin is nature's natural skin pigmentation that protects our skin from harm. Yet, still exercise caution when sun-worshipping in countries with scant ozone protection.
Take High Quality, Animal-Based, Omega-3 Fats
Animal-based omega-3 fatty acids found in krill oil helps fight and prevent heart disease, cancer, depression, Alzheimer's, arthritis, diabetes, hyperactivity and many other diseases.
Avoid as Many Chemicals, Toxins, and Pollutants as Possible
Without being paranoid, toss out your toxic household cleaners, soaps, personal hygiene products, air-fresheners, insect-repellants, lawn pesticides, and insecticides, just to name a few, and replacing them with non-toxic alternatives.
Disclaimer: These are my own opinions, and not a recommendation as I practise these guidelines. When in doubt check with the experts, especially if you have a prevailing medical or congenital condition.

Trick photography and special effects are within the grasp of most photographers today, if they know the correct techniques.

Your thoughts about RVing making you more aware of nature and the outdoors is so true and well put. It sounds like you are really enjoying the freedom of not having to go back to the house. Look forward to reading more about your adventures.
Connie and Art
It is nice to know that one really does not need a large home to live IN.
I grew up with a family home of a
1 1/2 story bungalow, no garage. (in a rural setting. Our family of 5 lived comfortable in it. I am flabberghasted that now a days, as families have gotten smaller, new houses have gotten bigger with three car garages. Our middle class expectations for large homes and many possessions is way out of proportion to our real needs to be happy.
Great to hear stories about full-time RVers. Just moved into an older home and am wondering "Why do we have all of this stuff?"
The local thrift store will be seeing me soon.

Sorry, I'm in a weird mood today - it might have something to do with the E-Book I just read for this week's Tuesday Review. Here, read the review and you might see what I mean...
"Don't Go there!" has a refreshingly simple way of looking at the countries of the world. Instead of enumerating the many wonderful things of each country, Robblogger looks at why we shouldn't go to each country.
I particularly liked the foreword, explaining his motivation for writing this e-book:
"What's this dubious literary offering all about? Besides a pretty clever way to part you from ninety nine cents, my girlfriend has always wanted to travel. I care for the idea of travelling about as much as I care for the idea of soaking my head in a sink full of electric eels. Travel appeals to me not very much at all, slightly less than not very much at all, to be brutally honest.
So the birth of this e-book was my girlfriend suggesting countries we should visit. And me finding creative ways to convince her that visiting each proposed country wouldn't be fun."
He is remarkably persuasive and honest about his opinion of each place. I have no idea if he managed to achieve his stated goal of convincing his girlfriend not to travel, but I definitely enjoyed the journey the book took me on!
Despite the tongue-in-cheekiness' of his humour, Robblogger's assessment of each country is informative and interesting. Of course, being an English native, I immediately turned to England to see what he thought of us:
"Windsor Castle and LEGOLAND in one day. Is that even safe or socially responsible? Dragging the kids around a thousand year old castle while they whine: Can we go to Legoland now? Is it time to go to LEGOLAND now? When are we going to LEGOLAND?"
This made me laugh out loud (I'm glad no one was in the room when I was reading this) because it's almost exactly what I thought when my partner suggested we go to Windsor Castle during the summer for a family daytrip…
And his evaluation of our TV Shows was right on the money! He actually watched a whole episode of Coronation Street in the course of his research into England…
Warning: Coronation Street Fans look away now
"One of their most popular television shows is Coronation Street. I was unfortunate enough to catch an episode of this questionable program. It's a soap opera featuring the unattractive, and none of the stars have seen the inside of a dentist's office, I am sure.
The residents of Coronation Street spend a lot of time in a bar, getting drunk enough to sleep with each other, and in the episode I saw the big crisis was a broken washing machine.
The acting in American soaps is pretty poor, but I don't think the stars of Coronation Street could even get a part in an American fifth grade Thanksgiving Day Pageant. Even with the accent, and the historically accurate teeth, I don't think they could pull off Pilgrims convincingly."
…Now if that isn't perseverance, I don't know what is!
Of all the ten countries Robblogger summarised, I think I would like to visit Australia the most, but even that has it's down sides… and no, I'm not going to tell you what he's written about the country, because for the minimal price of 99 cents you can pick yourself up a copy to read it.
Do I recommend you read this?
Yes, I do.
In the first place it's a great way of travelling without shifting from your chair, and in the second place, it's actually pretty useful, if you are going to be travelling to any of the places Robblogger talks about. Most Guidebooks gush about the scenery and attractions; this one tells you the hard facts, but without scaring you.
"Don't Go There" only has one flaw… it's too short! I would have loved to hear what Robblogger thought of Italy or Kenya or Japan, so all I can hope is that there will be a sequel.
*looks pointedly in Robblogger's direction*
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Furniture. Monday , April 03rd , 2017 - 09:32:43 AM
A storage unit which has wide doors and safe walls between lockers should be chosen. Also, make sure that there are no signs of water damage in any part of the building. Furniture should be kept dry because moisture is the main cause of damage to stored furniture. You should have many thick plastic sheets handy. These sheets should be laid on the floors of self storage units to keep moisture and humidity at bay. Moisture can cause mold growth which is harmful for furniture. Furniture storage can also be done on top of wooden pallets which let the items breathe and save them from moisture.
Many industrial furniture designs today have been greatly influenced by the industrial workplaces of yesterday. Items once produced for factories, hospitals, schools, and commercial units are now being reproduced for our living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, and even our bedrooms. They also work great in office's and can add a lot of style to commercial settings. Many bars, restaurants, and even rental venues are using an industrial style to draw customers into a bygone era.
A simple way to improve antique pieces of furniture, such as a chest of drawers, is to fit new handles. The Victorians had a habit of replacing metal handles with round wooden knobs, often leaving the marks of the former back-plates showing. Sets of old handles can be picked up cheaply from antique and second-hand shops but make sure that the back-plates are large enough to cover any existing indentations.

* The world's first and most successful mass-produced hybrid car, the 2014 Toyota Prius hybrid continues to expand its dominance. For those folks who need a high-mileage mode of transport that is also very eco-friendly, very reliable and very much in demand, the 2014 Prius hybrid in all its forms is the hybrid of choice. If you're looking for the best fuel economy in the hybrid field, the 2014 Toyota Prius' 51/48 mpg rating is still king. The new plug-in model also allows for more options and with the ability to run solely on electric power. Due to the seamless transition between electric motor and gasoline engine, driving the Prius hybrid is a surprisingly serene event. The driver is given a range of performance options via the EV, Eco, and Power buttons, which allow for variations in throttle application and fuel consumption. In EV mode, the Prius hybrid functions solely on electric power (speed and miles permitting), while the Power mode setting delivers the full potential of the gasoline engine assisted by the electric motor. The Eco mode setting is probably the most useful of the three, allowing the Prius' computer to modify the throttle response for the best balance of fuel consumption and performance. The Toyota Prius hybrid hatchback features an interior as modern and different as its exterior. The contoured dash looks particularly handsome with its 2-tone panels. The Prius' sheet metal is designed to cheat the wind, with sharp-edged creases and flush glass panels. Even the car's wheel covers are aerodynamic. As some states also allow hybrid cars to waive the 2-person-per-car minimum to drive in the High Occupancy Vehicle lanes, the Prius might actually be able to speed up your commute times!

It has been an interesting autumn so far, in particular since it has lasted so long.
Autumn in the Puget Sound area is a time for evening rains and morning fogs. We've had both of these so far (Panther Lake and the length of Benson Hill have been wrapped in what might best be called low clouds, but regardless they have presented a cotton-wrapped commute each morning). But we also usually have a good cold snap that brings down the leaves in one fell swoop with very little chance for fall color.
Not this year - it has been a mild cooling, resulting is a golden canopy as the deciduous trees turn. The wide blanket of pines keep their deep green as a backdrop, and we have the accent of crimson flame from maples along the way.
All in all, it has been positively pretty.

Tesla goes East - from Germany to Russia by electric car (well, at least we will give it a try! :-) ). As usual, with live GPS tracking and hopefully more often than not, live video streaming. In July 2015 I made my drivers license - motivated by Model S and Bjørn's videos - just to be able to drive an electric car. Since I got my MS in 08/2015 I have driven 66k km thanks to SuCs. But Supercharging gets boring, so we gotta try something more exciting. Let's try to find red plugs in the East...
Live tracking
Click on the marker to see our current speed, altitude etc. Updates automatically approx. every 60 seconds. If you click anywhere on the driven track (blue) and then show track profile you can see the elevation and velocity profile of the last hours/days.

typical range left (we charged to 98% in Vilnius) and around 04:00 in the
morning in our hotel which was 50 EUR. Border: Tons of documents and sooo
slow processing. Anyway, afterwards we had to get some kind of pre-paid
highway toll system, a small device installed in our car and it beeps all
the time when we pass certain checkpoints. Past the border towards Minsk we
drove through so much fog, dead silence, no lights anywhere. Scary! Anyway,
being dead tired we paid another 25 EUR so that we could use the room all
day and sleep longer than 12:00 (checkout time).

"three things in your layout... stamping, embossing, and misting. Plus there must be at least one raw chipboard to dress up"
Yes, this is Iris's August 2011 challenge for Scrap-It-Lah. Mr. Mojo is back in business that is why I thought of joining this challenge. This time I make sure that joining challenges will not be stressful for me. It came to a point when scrapbooking became stressful because I kept on joining challenges left and right. That is why it took me several months to join again. Well, anyway this challenge really pumped up my mojo. Thanks to the wonderful inspiration from Iris and the Scrap-it-Lah DT's. Here is my layout:
Here is a closer look at the embossing, stamping, misting and my dressed-up chipboard:
Hope you like it! Thanks for dropping by!

Coming up Monday, we've got a big contest coming your way, but to play, you've got to be a Breeze Family Member. If you're not one, sign up online... it's free and easy! Click here. You'll have your chance to win four tickets to Six Flags Magic Mountain AND Hurricane Harbor, plus we'll throw in $100 cash!
Most work places don't have their employees punch in and punch out anymore. . . they run on the honor system. . . or, at least, the "as long as you get to work before your boss does, you're golden" system. And, naturally, we're abusing that privilege to the fullest.
About one out of every six U.S. workers, 16%, say they show up late to work at LEAST once a week.
And, when people get caught showing up late to work, 25% decide that rather than admitting it, apologizing, saying it won't happen again and showing up on time for a while. . . they're going to LIE their way out of it.
Men are 6% less likely to lie than women. They're also 4% less likely to be late in the first place.
The real reason people get to work late? 31% say most of the time it's traffic issues. . . 16% oversleep. . . and 8% blame their kids. Other people said things like long commutes, having to go back home because they forgot something or feeling sick.
1) CHANGE YOUR LIGHTBULBS. Change from regular lightbulbs to those compact fluorescent ones. . . those are the ones that look like corkscrews. They use less energy. . . AND last 10 times longer than regular lightbulbs.
2) TURN DOWN THE HEAT. Just turn down your heat by five or six degrees and you'll keep about 660 pounds of carbon dioxide from spewing into the atmosphere. And, you'll cut your gas bill by about 10%.
3) NO MORE STANDBY. When your electronics are plugged in, but not on, you know how a lot of them have a little light that stays on? That's because they're still sucking electricity. Use a power strip to REALLY turn them off and save power.
4) USE LESS HOT WATER. It takes a lot of energy to heat up water. By using a low-flow showerhead, keeping your showers short, and only washing full loads in the washing machine and dishwasher, you'll save energy. . . and money.
5) ONLINE BILLING. You can stop getting paper bills for almost everything now. . . your credit card, your car, your electricity, whatever. . . and get the bills online instead. By doing that, you save a TON of paper. . . and trees.

Krishnan Pandalai, J.
1. C.M.S.A. No. 156 of 1930.--The appellant is the decree-holder on a mortgage in favour of his deceased mother Mangalathammal and himself in O.S. No. 275 of 1918 in which a preliminary decree was passed on 7th December, 1918, by the District Munsif, from which an appeal was taken to the District Judge, which was dismissed on 30th September, 1920; and from which a second appeal was taken to this Court which was dismissed on 6th April, 1923. Mangalathammal having died pending the second appeal, the appellant was added as her legal representative. Soon after the preliminary decree by the District Munsif, the then decree-holder Mangalathammal obtained a final decree on 28th April, 1919. After the decision in second appeal, the appellant, his mother having died in the meanwhile, on 5th March, 1926, applied to the District Munsif for a final decree in pursuance of the decree of the second appellate Court. This was granted by him on 21st September, 1926. On appeal by the judgment-debtor, the then District Judge on 28th September, 1927, held that the appellant was not entitled to apply for a final decree a second time and that his only course was to apply to amend the old final decree or ask for a review of it. He however on a benevolent consideration which as it has turned out has prevented what would have otherwise been a grave miscarriage of justice, * allowed the petition of 5th March, 1926, to be pending and sent it back to the District Munsif. The District Munsif considered that he was substantially carrying out the direction of the District Judge by allowing the appellant to treat his petition as one for execution of the old final decree and to incorporate in it the information which would bring it into conformity with the High Court's decree; in short, he tried to save the decree-holder by treating his petition as one for execution and one for amendment both rolled into one and he gave the appellant relief by an order to execute the old final decree as so amended. The judgment-debtor again appealed. Another learned District Judge on 6th December, 1928, set aside the above-mentioned second order of the District Munsif because according to him the District Munsif was not authorised to regard the petition of 5th March, 1926, as one for execution. He therefore set aside that order and sent the case back for a second time but this time without giving any indication of what would be the proper way to deal with the appellant's grievance and contenting himself with saying that the matter was to be disposed of according to law. For the third time another District Munsif enquired into the appellant's petition of 5th March, 1926, and this time he made sure that no more fault should be found with him and dismissed that petition on 17th January, 1929, on the ground that an application for a fresh final decree was illegal. The appellant appealed in his turn to the learned District Judge, who, on 17th March, 1930, dismissed the appeal. The present second appeal is from that dismissal.
2. I have mentioned the dates in the above narration because, while these orders were being passed by the Lower Courts, the Privy Council had decided that the appellant's petition of 5th March, 1926, was entirely legitimate and was the only petition he could file. Far from it being the case that an application for a second final decree is illegal, the true doctrine is that the right to ask for a final decree arises where the preliminary decree has been under appeal, from the date of the judgment in appeal. In cases where there has been a final decree in pursuance of the preliminary decree of the Lower Court pending the appeal, that final decree is valid and binding to the extent but only to the extent to which it is not altered by the appellate decree, and a decree of the appellate Court confirming after judicial consideration the preliminary decree of a Lower Court is for this purpose one altering it. The consequence is that where there is, as in this case, a final decree obtained in pursuance of the Lower Court's preliminary decree and that preliminary decree is taken up in appeal and the appellate Court on a judicial determination confirms the preliminary decree and dismisses the appeal, the decree-holder has the right, which he may exercise within three years from the date of the decree in final appeal, to obtain a final decree in conformity with that appellate decision or, if that is the proper way of expressing it, amending the old final decree so as to bring it into such conformity.
3. In 1917 in Gajadhar Singh v. Kishan Jiwan Lal I.L.R. (1917) All. 641 it was held that:
In a suit for sale on a mortgage, if an appeal has been preferred from the preliminary decree, the decree which is to be made absolute is the decree of the final Court of appeal. In such a case, therefore, limitation for an application for a decree absolute runs, not from the expiry of the term fixed for payment by the original decree, but from the date of the decree of the final Court of appeal.
4. In that case as in this the decree of the High Court was one confirming the decree of the Lower Courts but that made no difference to the proposition stated, for it was pointed out that the plaintiff's application for interest for the period subsequent to the decree of the first Court and for subsequent costs could not have been made before the decree of the High Court was passed. It was in this connection that the proposition was stated that it was impossible to hold that there can be more final decrees than one in a suit for sale upon a mortgage. This, which is perfectly right when properly understood, namely, that where there is an appeal from a preliminary decree the final decree can only be based upon the decree of the appellate Court, has been misunderstood by the Lower Courts as if it meant that where a final decree in pursuance of the first Court's preliminary decree has been passed, there can be no further application for final decree because there can be no two final decrees. This is an entire misunderstanding of the passage.
5. This decision was approved by the Privy Council in June, 1926, in Jowad Hussain v. Gendan Singh , where it was held that where there has been an appeal from a preliminary mortgage decree under Order 34, Rule 4, Sub-rule (1), and the appellate Court has not extended the time for payment, the period of three years within which, under the Indian Limitation Act, 1908, Sch. I, Article 181, an application for a final decree under Order 34, Rule 5, Sub-rule (2) must be made, runs from the date of the decree of the appellate Court, not from the expiry of the time for payment fixed by the preliminary decree. The above is the case, although the appeal is by the mortgagee, and questions merely the amount for which the preliminary decree is made, and although the appeal is dismissed. Their Lordships cited with approval passages from the judgments of two learned Judges in Gajadhar Singh v. Kishan Jhvan Lal I.L.R. (1917) All. 641 to the effect that when the decree of the appellate Court is passed, it is that decree and only that which can be made final in the cause between the parties.
6. The decision of the Lahore High Court in 1924 in Fitzholnies v. Bank of Upper India I.L.R. (1924) Lah. 257 is to the same effect and follows the Full Bench decision in Gajadhar Singh v. Kishan Jiwan Lal I.L.R. (1917) All. 641 on the ground that the preliminary decrees passed by the trial Courts in such cases merge in the decrees of the appellate Court and that the only decrees which can be made final are the decrees of the appellate Court. This was upheld on appeal by the Privy Council in Fitshohnes v. Bank of Upper India (1926) L.R. 54 IndAp 52 : I.L.R. 8 Lah. 253 : 52 M.L.J. 366 (P.C.). It is only necessary to refer to two decisions of this Court which carry out the doctrine laid down by the Privy Council Mahapatro v. Magata Patro (1932) 64 M.L.J. 695 and Venkatarania Reddi v. Doddachariar (1929) 58 M.L.J. 207.
7. But it has been argued that in the above cases there was no final decree passed in pursuance of the preliminary decree of the first Court pending the appeal and that where there is such a final decree, the cases do not apply. No decision making any such distinction has been brought to my notice and it seems to me on principle it cannot be supported. The argument is that where a final decree in a mortgage suit is passed pending appeal on the preliminary decree, it is the decree-holder's duty and in fact his only right to execute that decree for what it is worth and to do so in the time limited by law for execution of such decrees. From that it is further contended that where the execution of such decree has become barred by the lapse of more than three years, the fact of the appellate Court passing a modified preliminary decree in no way improves the position of the decree-holder who is bound by the final decree which he has already obtained. It is not correct to say that when an appeal is taken from a preliminary decree on which the validity of the final decree depends but from which no appeal is taken, the only right of the decree-holder is to put the final decree in execution irrespective of the result of the appeal from the preliminary decree. This is conceded by the learned Advocate for the respondent at least in cases where the appeal from the preliminary decree sets it aside or alters its provisions and terms. The reason for this concession is that the old final decree in such circumstances is a dependent decree the validity of which is destroyed by the preliminary decree itself being destroyed and similarly is altered to the extent to which the preliminary decree has suffered any alteration by the decree in appeal. It is therefore indisputable that notwithstanding an earlier final decree based upon the preliminary decree of the first Court the decree-holder has a right which he gets for the first time on the decision of the appeal to get a final decree in conformity with the appellate decision and this right cannot be affected by any particular period of time, such as three years, having elapsed after the earlier final decree. It is a confusion of ideas to think of the decree-holder's right consequent upon the decision of the appellate Court as if it were confined to execution of the final decree Obtained first and as if it were limited to the time for execution of that decree; and it is an equal confusion to consider that right as if it were to get the old final decree amended or that unless the amendment is sought for within three years of the original decree, the amendment cannot be granted because the original decree of itself has become barred by limitation. All this is not seriously disputed by the learned Advocate for the respondent.
8. But he insists that where the appellate decree simply confirms the preliminary decree of the first Court and dismisses the appeal with costs, there is no such variation as to confer any new right to get the final decree first obtained into conformity with the appellate decree. That this argument is wrong follows from the fact that assuming there has been a judicial determination in the appeal and that the case is not one which is similar to the one decided by the Privy Council in Abdul Majid v. Jawahir Lal I.L.R. (1914) All. 350 : (1914) 27 M.L.J. 17 (P.C.) the decision of the appellate Court confirming the Lower Court's judgment and dismissing the appeal with costs is as much a judgment on the merits as one reversing or varying a judgment and this is well pointed out by Wallace, J. in Venkatarama Reddi v. Doddachariar (1929) 58 M.L.J. 207.
9. I have therefore no hesitation in holding that both the Lower Courts have erred in thinking that the decree-holder was not entitled to get a final decree in conformity with the judgment in S. A. No. 49 of 1921. The decision of the lower appellate Court is set aside and the appellant's petition of 5th March, 1926, remitted to the District Munsif for the purpose of awarding to the appellant a final decree in conformity with the decision in that second appeal. The appellant has had to run the gauntlet of Courts for three successive times to get what appears to be a plain enough remedy, and he must have his costs from the respondent throughout, from and including the District Munsif's dismissal of 17th January, 1929.
10. C.M.S.A. No. 167 of 1930.--It is sufficient to deal with this case very briefly in view of the judgment which I have just delivered in C. M. S. A. No. 156 of 1930. This was a petition by the appellant filed on 17th January, 1929, after the District Munsif had on the third occasion when he dealt with it dismissed the petition of 5th March, 1926. The petition was for executing the only final decree to which the Courts had reduced him, namely, the one dated 28th April, 1919. Obviously as a petition to execute a decree of 1919, the application of 1929 made ten years afterwards was barred by limitation and it was so held by the District Munsif, an opinion which the learned District Judge confirmed. The appellant tried to get excused the period when he was wandering in the woods by promoting his petition of 5th March, 1926, which was ultimately dismissed on 17th January, 1929. As I have held that that dismissal was wrong, it becomes unnecessary to consider whether the appellant is entitled to deduct the period when the petition of 5th March, 1926, was pending. The appeal is dismissed but there will be no order as to costs.

Iranian secular students fight to the iran`s islamic regime for preserving mixed-gender universities
Co-education is on the way to becoming banned in many Iranian universities. Students at a university where a ban is already in place are fighting to try to get the authorities to go back on their decision .
Last summer, the Assembly of Experts, an ultra-conservative religious body, recommended that co-education be banned in Iranian universities. The Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, tried to block this initiative, describing it as "superficial" and "non-scientific". However, his Minister of Science, Kamran Daneshjoo, who is also in charge of the universities, apparently disobeyed him asked universities to enforce the decrees passed by this religious body .
As a result, several universities were reorganised so that male and female students would be taught separately. According to Iranian media reports, the Minister of Science is even considering making universities single-sex .
On November 16, the students at Azad University of Dolatabad in Ispahan organized a protest to demand the return of co-education in their institution :
"Patrols circulate in the courtyard to deter men and women from having any contact with each other"
Elnase, 22, is an English Literature student at Azad University of Dolatabad in Ispahan .
Significant changes have already occurred in my university. The separation of the sexes was imposed in the Internet cafés and libraries. Patrols circulate in the courtyard to deter men and women from having any contact with one another, and lectures are now single-sex. A few specialised courses remain open to both men and women due to lack of sufficient resources to create separate courses .
In my opinion, these separation measures were taken with the sole aim of creating a climate of fear in the universities. Rather than responding to religious concerns, these measures were taken to prevent protest movements from emerging in Iran. For it is exchange between the sexes that leads to intellectual progress, progress that could lead to the questioning, or even the outright rejection, of the current government and its so-called Islamic principles .
This is a distressing situation but both the male and female students are resisting it as much as they can."

Ages 11 to 16
It is good practice to allow discussion in your class but, at times, it can turn into a free-for-all. To let everyone have their say in an organised debate, give each pupil red, green and yellow cards.
Tell them the green equates to building on someone else's point, yellow means involving someone in the discussion and red is disagreeing politely.
Kick off the discussion with a topic statement. Pupils can volunteer to agree and build on it by holding up the green card or to disagree with the red card.
Once the pupil has finished, the teacher takes the card and picks another pupil to speak. Or the pupil speaking can choose the next debater by using their yellow card to ask for their opinion.
Everyone has to use all their cards and can't speak once they have none left

Choline kinase alpha (CHKA; here designated as ChoKalpha) is the first enzyme in the CDP-choline pathway, implicated in phospholipids metabolism. It is overexpressed in several human tumors such as breast, lung, bladder, colorectal, prostate, ovary, and liver. The overexpression of ChoKalpha has oncogenic potential and synergizes with other known oncogenes. It has been proposed as a novel cancer drug target with a distinct mechanism of action. We have generated a set of ChoKalpha inhibitors with potent in vitro antiproliferative and in vivo antitumoral activity against human xenographs in mice, showing high efficacy with low toxicity profiles. Among these inhibitors, RSM-932A has been chosen for further clinical development due to its potent antiproliferative activity in vitro against a large variety of tumor-derived cell lines, a potent in vivo anticancer activity, and lack of toxicity at the effective doses. Here we provide the preclinical evidence to support the use of RSM-932A as a good candidate to be tested in clinical trials as the "first in humans" drug targeting ChoKalpha.

What wine does one drink? What bread does one eat?
Wallace Stevens
I mop. I iron. I clean algae off basketballs. I polish bunnies, sweep Andres, and vacuum around Hoovers. I change fluorescent tubes and dust lightbulbs stuck in lemons. I change the lemons once every two days, and I make sure moths don't get into the felt suits. That would be a real tragedy. I whisk Courbets and polish Judds. Have you dusted a Brillo box or fluffed a floating pillow? I have. I clean art.
I'm also a home philosopher, but no Socrates.
In the early seventies I was at the School of Visual Arts, majoring in Philosophies of Art, Home, and Cleanliness. We read Roland Barthes, (Mythologies, particularly the essay on soap powders and detergents), Susan Sontag (Styles of Radical Frill), Gaston Bachelard (The Poetics of Space, in particular the chapter on drawers, chests, and wardrobes), Claude LÈvi-Strauss (The Raw and the Cooked), Julia Child (Mastering the Art of French Patina), and Ludwig Wittgenstein (The Blue and the Brown Books). Wittgenstein was influential to homebuyers and minimalists in the seventies. In 1926 he designed a house for his sisteróvery basic. He forbade curtains and carpets. Naked lightbulbs dangled from the ceilings. His friend and collaborator Adolf Loos wrote a paper called ìOrnament and Crime.î He felt that suppressing decoration was necessary for regulating passion. Why you would want to do that is beyond me.
My studies also included John Ruskin (Seven Lamps of Architecture), Walter Pater (Marius the Epicurean and The Child in the House), Johann Joachim Winckelmann (The History of Ancient Homemaking Among the Greeks), and, of course, Immanuel Kant's Critique of Domestic Judgment. From Kant I learned the difference between practical thinkingósuch as what soaps clean whatóand the sublime.
I began my career at the top, cleaning the apartment of a gentleman named Fred who worked for Andy, the famous artist. I'll never forget the time Fred took us to the midtown restaurant called Un Deux Trois, jumped on the table, and dropped his pants. I have no idea what he was trying to prove, except perhaps the size of his penis. But friends or no friends of Andy, we were all thrown out. God bless you Andy! You were a good Catholic. You painted the Last Supper of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and found redemption. There is nothing so sacred or so domestic, for that matter, as drinking wine and eating bread.
Art hangs in the foyers of flutists, the mezzanines of magicians, the bathrooms of ballerinas, the parlors of politicians, the bedrooms of brokers, and the staircases of statisticians. Some art, because it is considered ìgood,î eventually gets relocated to a museum and separated from the other objects that inhabit our everyday lives. There is prestige in this relocation, but all of a sudden we have chairs we can't sit on (Kosuth) or bed's we can't sleep in. I am thinking of Bob's bed with that antique quilt that he smushed up with paint. Now what do you think that quilt would get on the Antiques Road Show?
Art is not obligated ìto do,î like other household objects, only ìto be.î A soap dish, beautiful as it is, has an obligation to soap, a Murano ashtray to ashes. An iron must press, and a hammer must nail, but not the hammer or sickles of art.
I was actually around the day Andy came home from Bologna and painted those still lifes of hammer and sicklesóhow ironic, the bourgeoisie paying so much for sickles and Maos. He told me that while he was in Italy he hung out with the son of the Communist mayor of Bologna, Maurice, twenty-two and cute, from the Polaroids I saw. All Maurice wanted to do was shop and go to the opera.
I appreciate silence in a way I didn't when I could still come three times a day. That's why I like art. Because most often it is silent. It can accommodate domesticity. Questions like ìHey, Ho, what's for din-din?" ìHow's my honey?î ìWhere's the clicker?î or ìWho's a good boy?î
ìRadical Domesticsî refers to artists and art cleaners loosely bound by a common interest in domesticityóoranges in a wooden bowlóand in their adulation of household incident. Radical domestics take their objects seriously. Frying bacon in my Calvins, slipping on a nylon, or pulling on a tight pair of jeans over a crisp, clean pair of white pantiesóthese activities accompany the silent and still occasions of art.
Radical domestics create a dialogue between homemaking and art through simple household activities that would otherwise be taken for granted, like oven cleaning or watering begonias. As Wallace would say, ìMerely living as and where we live.î
Andy lived in Manhattan and painted soup cans. Morandi lived in Bologna and painted bottles and jugs. On the surface they could not be more differentóthe supple grays of Morandi's jugs against the stark cadmiums of Andy's cans. But bottles and soup coexist in the pantry. They come out of the closet as the subject matter of paintings, and through this transformation they are reified on the walls of a home. Morandi's bottles line up like so many words in a sentenceónouns and adjectives, subject and predicate. Andy's cans are nouns. But the phantasm of eating what's in them (their content: tomato, green pea, or onion) reifies the content and gives them a verb, an ìI Want to Hold Your Handî of art and domesticity. Did you know that the Campbell Soup Company began making its tomato soup in 1897, the same year that Oscar Wilde was released from prison? Tragically, Oscar died two yeas later, still in love with Bosie, the undeserving bitch who got him into trouble in the first place. Oscar exploded, literally. Blood and puss spewed from every orificeóhis nose, his mouth, even his ears. Talk about Dionysius!
Imagine the symphony of chore and artóa cleaning boy's first day vacuuming around a Hoover Deluxe or sweeping cracker crumbs beneath a painting of asparagus? I don't know where that Manet is now, but I would love it hanging next to my fridge. Ironing boards and art conspire and collide in domestic incident. If bottles and cans are precious, even worshiped, what more or less, then, a child in the house?
I have learned this dusting art. It is my creed, my manifesto.

When Catherine Dodd, my surrogate daughter, invited me to travel to Hetch Hetchy with her last weekend, I quickly accepted. Catherine, as Director of Health Services for the City and County of San Francisco, needed to meet with the staff stationed there to negotiate health needs. A house would be provided for us, and after the needed meetings, we would be free to play tourist.
In my 54 years in California I had never been there, although I had heard, over the years about the efforts of various environmentalists to have the O'Shaughnessy Dam torn down, and efforts to restore the glacial valley to its original pristine state. Of course most San Franciscans sit on the opposite side of the fence, enjoying the twin bonanza of wonderful pure water and the economic boon of cheap hydroelectric power, a significant income source.
I learned that John Muir himself had not wanted to keep the glacial valley in its original pristine condition; he thought the beauty should be shared by everyone, and imagined some kind of small tourist industry there. Coincidently, Catherine's paternal grandmother. Linda Genevieve Gehringer Dodd, had protested the construction of the dam, sometime in the teens or twenties. Catherine owns a picture of her standing with John Muir at a demonstration. I guess Cath inherits her many political interests and talents.
Due to our abundant rainfall this spring, the foothills were aglow with many shades of green, more than I have ever seen, and the deep blue of the bush lupine practically stung our eyes. It bordered every country road, often waist high.
Our not so little house, built in the twenties, was less than a block from the giant Moccasin hydroelectric plant and only a skip and a jump from a helicopter pad, used three times in our brief tenancy to evacuate medical emergency patients.
Catherine sketched a little, but I failed, once again, to get out my paints. Still, I managed to beat Cath at scrabble. I read and soaked in all the history surrounding us. I learned it took twenty years to build the dam, in part because a railroad had to be built first to carry all the supplies and workers.
We toured nearby Coulterville Friday afternoon, including a terrific pioneer museum, and Saturday we trekked to Jamestown for a wonderful outdoor art fair, later taking many pictures of Chinese Camp and its falling down homes.
It is interesting how many ranchers in the area are switching to beef that is all grass fed. They seemed very brown and very fat, though I still can't identify their family heritage. We skipped lunch for the indulgence of home made ice cream, and came home happy, sated, but exhausted.
My photography can't compete with the abundant stunning photos of Hetch Hetchy on Google., so I've included a photo of Catherine on the porch of a tea house! What a wonderful weekend!

After a wonderful vacation with family and friends, seeing gorgeous sights, traveling to the 49th state and back, I am home and thinking about going to bed very soon. I formed many new memories, took a couple hundred pictures, bought a few treasures, ate too much food (desserts), had quality time with two of my kids and their families, plus time with other members of my family and my dear friends, wept with Sandy over the death of her precious aunt -- my dear, little friend, Cassie -- witnessed my darling granddaughter, Aurelia, pop a new tooth and have a pre-birthday party, celebrated the upcoming birth of Heidi and Chad's little one, and had a couple of walks with my grand-dog, Brian. I'm nursing a mild case of pneumonia which started with a sore throat a week ago.
The problem is: I love watching the Olympic games. We didn't have any coverage of them until getting to Heidi and Chad's Friday afternoon. Now that's all I want to watch. If I had Ti-Vo (not sure how to spell this new invention), I wouldn't have to fret about it, but I don't. My eyes don't want to stay open any longer, so I guess I'll call it an end to a great time and go get some much needed rest. It will feel so good to be back in my own bed.

View From My Thinking Spot
While I`m at work today I`ll pretend I`m sitting looking at this, my favorite spot to think. Over the years there have been many sad thoughts as well as happy ones here. The loss of beloved pets, a broken marriage, searching for a job,watching my children grow up, meeting and marrying my soul mate who I wed this past June 2nd in a lovely private ceremony and all the many blessings I have been given. Today I will think about the flowers I want to buy and about being patient.

A representative the Jacob Wetterling Resource Center says too much money is spent keeping track of registered sex offenders, and not enough is spent on prevention.
Alison Feigh is quoted in a story by television station KAAL-TV.
"We need to use our resources differently," she said. "And it shouldn't be all-in on using resources to watch sex offenders."
The problem, according to Feigh, is prevention efforts don't get a lot of money.
"We have so few resources in prevention; we want to use our resources on things that work," she said.

Did you know that glasses- and I mean ALL glasses- come in numbered sizes? Knowing your frame size can be useful information when choosing glasses, but we've got an easier way to find the perfect fit; center the pupil! The next time you're trying on frames, be conscious of where your pupil sits inside the frame. The closer to the center you are, the clearer your overall vision will be. Centering the pupil in a frame also helps you get the thinnest lenses possible, so if you've got a strong RX pay close attention to the examples below!
Remember that sizing is relative to your personal RX. Over-sized glasses are a major trend right now, but your visual clarity is more important! If your RX will allow for an over-sized frame, you can play with more variety of sizing and pupil placement:
Have any more questions about frame sizing and choices? Feel free to give us a call @ 905-849-1522, send an email to email@example.com, or write to us on Facebook!
