People are suffering despair and defeat on account of the waywardness and unsteadiness of the senses. This is the result of inability to control and guide the intelligence and mind! The conflicting desires infecting the mind have to be quenched and controlled. Plunge the wayward mind, which is fleeing in all directions, in contemplation of the Name of the Lord; the effect will be like concentrating the rays of the sun through a piece of magnifying glass. The scattered rays develop the power of a flame to burn and consume. So too, when the waves of intellect and the feelings of mind get one-pointedness through the converging lens of the Atma, they manifest as the Universal Divine Splendour that can scorch evil and illumine joy. Everyone is able to gain success in his/her profession or occupation only through one-pointed attention. Even the pettiest of tasks needs the quality of concentration for its fulfilment. Thus, even the toughest problem yields to unswerving endeavour.

The cart of inner senses (Anthah-karana) must be yoked to the bullocks of intelligence (Buddhi) and mind (Manas) and made to follow their tracks. But if the bullocks of Buddhi and Manas have no knowledge of the pathways of truth, righteousness, peace, and love and if they have never once trodden that path, then the cart of the inner senses itself might come to grief! Even if they are prodded to proceed, they will only drag the cart to the familiar post of confusion, injustice, cruelty, indiscipline, and falsehood! What then of the journey? When is the arrival to be? Therefore, Buddhi and Manas have to be taught the art of pulling the cart and moving steadily along the road. This has to be done by repetition of the Lord's Name (Japa) and meditation (Dhyana).

Human beings have been endowed with the intelligence and discriminative faculty of heightened degree in order to enable them to visualise the Atma. This is the reason why human beings are acclaimed as the crown of creation, and this is why the scriptures proclaim that the chance of being born as man is a very rare piece of good fortune. Human beings have the qualifications, urge and the capacity needed to seek the cause of Creation. People should endeavour to promote peace, prosperity and safety. They should use the forces and things in nature for promoting happiness and pleasure. They are approved by the Vedas themselves.

Actions that bind include all activity in relation to exterior objects. Such actions are usually resorted to with a desire for the result. This craving for the results leads one to the morass of "I" and "mine" and the demons of lust and greed. If one follows this path, there will be sudden flares, as when clarified butter (ghee) is poured in the sacrificial fire! Assigning priority to sense objects (Vishaya) is the same as assigning importance to poison (Visha)!
All things that are seen are transient, unreal. God alone is eternal, real. Attachment with objects ends in grief. God is your own Reality. That Reality, the God in you, has no relationship with the changing transitory objective world. He is Pure Consciousness only. Even if you posit some relationship for it, it can only be the type of relationship that exists between the dreamer and the objects seen and experienced in dreams.
You must exercise constant watchfulness over your feelings and reactions. You must keep out selfishness, envy, anger, greed and other such evil tendencies from entering your minds. These are nets which entrap you. These vices overwhelm and subdue your holiness, so that you cannot be influenced any longer. Then you will forget yourself and behave like an individual caught in frenzy. You will blabber as your tongue dictates, without regard to the effect - good or evil. You will engage your hands in work that the hands favour. Be aware and keep them in control! If you carefully discriminate, you can be recognised by the good company you keep, the good works you delight in and the good words you utter.
Date: Tuesday, November 30, 2010
Every sense runs after external objects one after the other, one supporting the other, restlessly and miserably. One must bring under control the mind, the reasoning faculty and the senses which roam aimlessly behind objective pleasures. One must train them to take on the task of concentrating all attention on the glory and majesty of God to follow one systematic course of one-pointed discipline. Bring them all and lead them towards the Higher Path. Their unlicensed behaviour has to be curbed. They must be educated by means of Japa (chanting God's name), Dhyana (meditation) or noble deeds, or some other dedicatory and elevating activity that purifies and ennobles.

Of the instruments used by everyone, the body with its hands ready executes the thought which is expressed in words. The deed, the work, the labour that the hand of man is engaged in, is the source of all the happiness or misery for everyone. Man asserts that he is happy, or that he is anxious and afraid or that he is in trouble. He attributes the cause of these conditions to some person other than himself. This belief rests on a wrong basis. Happiness and misery are due to one's own actions. Whether one accepts this truth or rejects it, one has to go through all the consequences of one's actions. This is the law of nature.
The teacher must come down to the level of the student. This process is called 'descent.' It does not mean stepping down from the top to the ground. It only means accepting the level of the person who is to be benefited. The baby on the floor cannot jump in to the arms of the mother, when she calls upon it to come up. "I am a great person. I will not stoop"- if the mother feels like that, she cannot possess the child. Stooping does not make a person small. The teacher too, is not demeaning himself when he comes down to the level of the pupil in order to teach him. It is only a laudable sign of love.

Education should be used for promoting the welfare of the nation. Knowledge gained through education should be used selflessly for promoting the welfare of humanity. What we need today are Uttama-purushulu (noble and high-minded men and women). The nation will prosper only when there are such persons with noble minds and hearts. Such persons will emerge in society only when there is purity of mind and morality in society. Only a society with a moral foundation can foster such noble persons. Spirituality is the only means for redemption.
From time immemorial, women of Bharat, by their adherence to ideals have bestowed joy on this land and hence occupy an exalted position, which is higher than that of men. Women of such exalted character have set great ideals of womanhood in Bharat. Only if the women come up in society, the whole world will turn sacred. There is nothing in this world that women cannot achieve. Recognising the nature of such women, we must encourage them and give them equal opportunities in society. However, in today's polluted society, there is no encouragement for women to cultivate high ideals. In modern times, the ways of life have become so perverted that only evil thoughts, evil feelings and evil behaviour rule the roost.

Forum of the Tuareg Rallye
Back to overview
Topic: gps
any one suggest which type of gps is suitable for car use on the rally
Orga recommends garmin 60 or 62.
That is probably fine for motorbikes, but for cars something with bigger screen would work out better.
A Garmin Oregon or a Garmin Montana would defenitely be better than a 62, as the screen is twice the size, yet you can run them with batteries that will last an entire day easy, so no cabling required.
Some people have fitted Marine units, but those only work cabled up, and the organization is going to ask for your GPS at the end of day to read the actual track you've followed. So if they want Garmin, and it's best if portable, it does not leave many choices. Oregon or Montana.
for cars and trucks are also recommended these devices:
Garmin 276
Garmin 278
recommended specification of a GPS:
10K point automatic track log
10 saved Rout500 points each Track
10 reversible routes with up to 50 points each
Garmin 276 and Garmin 278 are both very good units, they have not been made for several years, but they are very good units.
They are more or less same size screen as a Garmin Montana, but they are not touchscreen.
Some people go crazy with marine units... but at the end of the day, you should be following the roadbook, otherwise you may miss secret CPs along the way.

Hi Maggie,
It is great that you were able to get an extra hour of rest. Many years ago in Jamaica Daylight Savings Time was tried but eventually it was abandoned. I do not think it would make much difference here. I am a new Follower of your Blog from Jamaica. I learnt about it from FTLOB. Take care and have a good week.

The Use of Fantasy and Imagery in the Training of Counselors: The Cognitive Trap in Graduate Education.
Mills, David H.
I am concerned over the relative lack of emphasis in counseling training programs on the non-cognitive, non-quantifiable aspects of human interaction. Despite the academic press for grades and quantifiable indices, we must push towards integrating some of these spooky areas into our programs. Not to do so will attenuate our effectiveness, though we may gain in sterile academic respectability. I have suggested three steps as a starting point in this integration. These steps are supervision for divergent responses, modeling techniques, and sensitivity training. (AUTHOR)

You are killing children by making the claim about injections.
Find out why Mickie is head banging and self injuring specifically. It's not Autism. It's something else. Check on the state of his kidneys and liver fast.
- April 16, 2009 at 5:39 PM
- ~Zurama~ said...
Take a Chill pill. I'm killing children? What are you on?
I'm telling my son's story who was harmed by a one size fits all vaccine program.
His head banging has to do with Autistic Enterocolotis, caused by an abnormal response to the Measles part of the MMR Jab.
There is nothing wrong with his liver and kidneys!!!
- April 16, 2009 at 6:58 PM
I'm with Rocky. And I'll tell you how you are killing children. By harming vaccine integrity with this nonsense that the MMR caused your child's Autism. It causes parents not to vaccinate - and that kills kids!!
Why do you think Wakefield is before the authorities in England? Because of him there was a death from measles in England for the first time in 14 years!
And I want to see the evidence of your statement of what caused your child's head banging - given that there are a plethora of other possibilities. Most related to sensory overload from a condition that is genetic in origin, and a lot from major organ issues - like the liver and the kidneys. And the intestines while we're about it.
- April 20, 2009 at 5:30 AM
- ~Zurama~ said...
Listen Einstein (timelord), Autism is genetic in 1% of the cases and it's not Mickie case.
- April 20, 2009 at 10:47 PM
Genuine Autism is genetic in origin 100 percent of the time. There is no proof otherwise so don't make the claim, please.

I love a bit of lace, do I.
You can always count on Bottega Veneta to put delicate, elegant designs on the catwalk. I love how they have 'dirtied' up that vision of femininity with what appears to be rubbing/rolling dye on to the surface of the lace. The gold boots with the monochromatic garments add a certain something too.
Origami Leaves by Svetlana Volkova makes beautiful use of the directional lines of the lace pattern to guide the raglan shaping.
Autumn's end by Alana Dakos also makes use of a lovely all-over lace pattern for a great transitional garment.
Happy knitting,

Did I just download "Party In The USA" by Miley Cyrus? I think I did. I can't stand the girl, but that song brings back so many memories from freshman year, memories that I don't ever want to forget. So who cares if this song my damage my musical credibility, I'm just nodding my head like "yeah" and moving my hips like "yeah" :D

In June, Jase (who turned 10 in May) declared he wanted to see Jurassic World. It isn't often my kids ask to see movies. They rarely watch cable TV, so they don't see many movie previews. (This is also why they aren't clamoring for the latest toys.)
But this time, Jase saw the movie preview while watching something on YouTube. Then he saw the video game Lego Jurassic World and that sealed it; He wants to see the movie (and buy the video game.)
Now at 7 and 10, my kids are not what I would consider sophisticated movie/TV watchers. They watch no live-action TV shows, and up until a year or so ago, they watched very few live action movies. To broaden their viewing selections, and so they wouldn't be behind when discussing movies with their friends, we instituted a family movie night.
During family movie night, we have seen a wide range of movies, including those rated PG-13. They have already seen all four Indiana Jones movies, and of course Jase had seen all six Star Wars movies by the time he was Lexie's age. And we won't even get into the video game violence. (Jase played Halo at an age younger than I would have liked.) So our kids have seen some violence and some scenes that could be scary to someone so young.
So when Jase asked to see Jurassic World, I wasn't worried about the violence but was worried more about how he would handle the scary factor. I mean, being eaten by a dinosaur is a terrifying thing. Since he hadn't seen any of the other three movies, I told him before he could see Jurassic World, he would have to make it through the first one.
The weekend Jurassic World came out we settled down to watch the original Jurassic Park. Lexie opted not to watch it. Jase did fine. He peered out from under his blanket at times, but he handled everything in stride (especially after I told him the kids don't die in the movie.)
Two weeks later, we left Lexie with my parents and off we went. I had warned him that seeing the movie in the theater where the dinosaurs are so large and loud would be different. He did hide and peer out from under his blanket during a few scenes. But overall, he did great and loved the film.
In fact, he liked it far better than Inside Out which the whole family saw the next day. I will say Inside Out was a good movie but neither of my kids really liked it. Jase continually asked during the last 30 minutes if we couldn't just leave.
So now that Jase has seen Jurassic World and survived, we may be moving into a different range of movies for him than before. And Lexie who is three years younger may not be ready for those as she clearly declared about any "dinosaur" movie. This may mean many more trips to the theater with only one kids in tow and that movie nights will become harder to find a movie that we can all agree on.

...... If you have been watching our sales you already know that we have been listing a wide selection of rare antique French & German Bisque Head Dolls, all from one lifetime collection. There is another wonderful lot of dolls coming up for sale this week. You can see them pictured in the last photograph. Each doll is listed separately and without any reserve. They also come with an unconditional money back guarantee as to the age, quality, condition and authenticity!
...... I just finished a long search on the internet, looking at many examples of early 20th century, Carl Bergner, 3-face dolls. This company was known for their spinning bisque-head dolls, which depicts a laughing, crying, and sleeping face. These dolls are well known and, in fact, we sold a Carl Bergner 3-face doll last month. The signed "CB" Carl Bergner 3-face doll in this sale is at least very rare, if not unique. All of the faces are the same as a standard 12 inch Carl Bergner 3 face doll; however, the sleep face is brown and the crying face is a black baby. I know what your thinking, but we looked at this paint very closely and I will guarantee 100%, plus shipping both ways, that these face are "factory made." The bisque head is in perfect condition, as are the four small paperweight eyes. The head revolves inside a paper mache hood with a brass ring at the top, typical of Bergner dolls. This ring does turn the doll head, but it does skip every once in a while. When I remove the bonnet you will see that the hair is a restoration and not original. The original arms and legs are made from composition and the tips of two fingers on the left hand are worn. If you are familiar with Carl Bergner 3-face dolls, then you already know that they would lift their arms mechanically when you pulled a cord coming out of the side of the body. This cord is missing on the doll we are listing.
...... You can do your own searching; maybe you have a book that shows this very rare, multiracial Carl Bergner Doll. If you have any information you'd like to share, drop us an e-mail.
...... We are listing this rare, circa 1905 Carl Bergner German Bisque Head Doll with . ….Remember, we give a 100% unconditional money back guarantee as to the age, quality and condition of every sale! Please check back every once in a while.

What's a RealServer and where do you get one? Although the system might not yet be as ubiquitous as setting up residential phone service, it's out there. We're going to tell you how to get (and use) it.
For serving on-demand files, you can use either the RealServer for real-time streaming of on-demand files or any Web server for HTTP/Progressive streaming. For live stream authoring, you must use the RealServer, which is available for Unix (Linux, FreeBSD, and so on) and Windows NT/2000. For the purposes of the Step-by-Step tutorials in this chapter, you'll be using the RealServer for both live and on-demand.

In the past year I've been immersing myself more and more in writer culture. In addition to my usual venues and social circles I'm on Twitter now, following and interacting with other writers and people who work with writers and writing, and…it's been an interesting experience.
I've never really thought much about writer culture until this year. Writers write and that's that, right?
Somebody once told me that I shouldn't use negative language about myself. I shouldn't focus on how ugly so and so bodypart is, I should focus on the parts I liked. I shouldn't say "I can't", I should say "I can", and I should say "I will". Positive reinforcement.
I try to live by it, even when it's hard. I try not to think "but there's so much left to write" and instead think "I've written so much already". It worked for me years back when I decided to go by bicycle around Iceland. Lots of mountains to climb, lots of kilometres to put behind me. I made a point to stop every once in awhile to look back just to see how far I'd come. Maybe it wasn't much farther than the last time I looked. It didn't matter. I'd still progressed.
(And I made it halfway around the country before my knees got busted.)
This is part of the reason why what I'm seeing of writer culture is so utterly baffling.
It goes something like this: how to write a book: dig a hole. crawl into the hole. stay in the hole.
Or perhaps like this: how to write a book: flail at the keyboard while screaming uncontrollably.
Or maybe it goes like this: open document. type one word. spend several hours going off tangents on the Internet. return to document and discover no words have been added. cry.
Here's the thing: I wouldn't be writing if I didn't enjoy it.
Wild, right? Enjoy writing? What kind of writer am I? Why am I not guzzling down buckets of coffee while alternating between hammering on my keyboard and posting increasingly quirkier hyperbolic statements about how hard and painful writing is?
Yeah, writing is hard sometimes. The words don't always come easy. Sometimes other factors in life impede my writing in shitty ways. Sometimes writing is just a drag and a chore and I wonder a little bit why I'm making myself churn out words when I could be doing other, easier things, such as binge watching Netflix or reading other people's books.
But I enjoy writing. Even when it's difficult, I enjoy it. Not as much as when it's easy, and I love it a little less than on the days when it feels like words are all the sustenance I need to live. Who cares about dinner when I'm on a roll? But here's the other thing: I enjoy it because it's hard, too.
And then there's this: Regardless of whether I'm having a good writing day or a bad writing day, I write.
I sit down, and I write. I get distracted by the internet just like everybody else. I chat with friends in a different tab while writing in another. I have been known to get up and do the dishes in the middle of a scene. I have put off writing for hours while I run errands or work out or clean the flat.
But at the end of the day, what it comes down to for me, is to just get the job done. To improve my craft. To finish a story I love. To be excited. To write. I like being able to look back and say yesterday I was there, today I am here.
I've been watching the Danish version of the Great British Bake Off for a few years. This season there's a young lad on the show who has a peculiar way of talking about his bakes. It's ongoing, still in the first half of the season, as it airs later in the year than GBBO, so I've not seen much of him, but…
This lad will say things like "this is disgusting, actually". He will say "it's gross."
I'm sure he's a fine fellow, but this language is driving me up the wall. Has his mother never taught him that it's impolite to talk about food like that? Even if it's his own food? Has nobody taught this kid it didn't quite turn out the way I expected or it's not my cup of tea? as a valid way to discuss the outcome of his work?
Has nobody told this kid that assigning negative value to your own work is a damaging thing to do to yourself?
Why is writer culture centred around this idea that writing is a terrible, painful task that only masochists willingly take upon themselves? Why is it that writer culture is obsessed with events like nanowrimo, which is ostensibly about improving the creative output in quantifiable ways, but which is widely regarded by writers as a form of self-inflicted torture? Why is writer culture steeped in negatively loaded hyperbole that is neither motivating nor helpful? Why is it that writer culture seems more interested in having a giant pity party than promoting healthy work ethics?
Why is it that it's "cooler" to say things like having kittens for fingers would be easier than writing a novel and not today I finished writing an important scene?
Why am I expected to groan and complain about the writing process to be accepted into the club? Why am I expected to sign up for nanowrimo and churn out fifty thousand words in a month while also making sure everyone in the vicinity has heard what tremendous personal sacrifice it is to do it?
Why am I expected to identify with the particular brand of WriterTM that seems to be chronically underslept and harried, by their own writing habits no less, to the point that they resemble an undead human being incapable of functioning in society?
I don't identify with that brand.
I don't identify with this way of thinking.
I just can't see myself in it. I don't want to be associated with it. I don't want to let this, frankly, toxic mindset influence me to such a point that I won't be able to recognise myself anymore.
I want to keep enjoying what I'm doing. I want to love writing. I want to surround myself with writers who gleefully roll up their sleeves and say let's do this.
So. I'm sorry, guys.
But I don't want to be in your club.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (PRWEB) September 28, 2015

This new partnership will allow Hyatt to offer IDT911's LifeStages® Identity Management Services, providing a full range of identity management services to legal plan members.
According to a report released last year by Javelin Research, an identity is stolen every two seconds. Identity theft affects people at all stages of life – from childhood to college through getting married, buying a home and retiring. Thieves only need a name, birth date and social security number to steal an identity and their methods to get this information can range from stealing a wallet or mail to hacking into computers or your phone. Last year, fraudsters stole $16 billion from 12.7 million U.S. consumers.
With this new partnership, Hyatt Legal Plan members will have access to fraud specialists at IDT911 that can assist with a wide range of identity theft issues. The new identity theft services will include document replacement services, resolution services if someone becomes a victim of identity theft, as well as assistance for a number of growing identity theft scams such as tax fraud, estate identity theft, military identity theft an break-in recovery. Fraud specialists will be available 24 hours a day and will stay on the member's case until the issue is resolved.
"We are very excited about this partnership with IDT911," says Ingrid Tolentino, CEO of Hyatt Legal Plans. "This new partnership will allow us to help members address the very real current and emerging identity theft concerns out there. Paired with our attorney services, our identity theft resolution services offer our members a more comprehensive way to protect themselves and their families."
All new plans effective January 1, 2016 will have access to IDT911 LifeStages® Identity Management Services as part of the legal plan. For more information on this benefit, visit http://www.legalplans-idtheft.com.

It has been too long sinceI posted anything substantial. Probably because I got sidelined by life itself. But there's always some itch you cannot scratch fully. So, I sat down one day and let the itch take me someplace .
This is a new project. Something that could be the restart of a once shelved storyline I've had for ages. This will be the conduit for everything that could explain the Daluiong Story Arc. This series may or may not make it to Mang Jun Dayo's venture, so I'll just continue in this line of comics until the proper funds could be pooled to actually self-publish the whole caboodle before I die, ha ha ha!

Global Container Volume on Track for Worst Year Since 2009
Flat growth in the beleaguered shipping industry could set off further bankruptcies and possible acquisitions
Freight rates, the predominant source of income for shipping companies, fell 20% in the benchmark Asia to Europe trade route this week compared with last week to $767 per container.
Rates have mostly stayed well below $1,000 since the start of the year and operators say anything below $1,400 is unsustainable.
They aren't expected to turn around soon. China's Golden Week holiday starts at the beginning of October, marking the slow season for operators as many Chinese factories cut production levels after an output frenzy in the summer months when western importers stack up products for the year-end holidays.
"The industry faces its worst year since the Lehman Brothers collapse," said Jonathan Roach, an analyst at London based Braemar ACM Shipbroking. "Demand is around zero and any moves to increase freight rates will likely fail."
Hanjin Shipping Co. , South Korea's biggest operator and the world's seventh largest in terms of capacity, filed for bankruptcy protection last month and is under court order to sell its own ships and returning chartered ships to their owners.
Container operators, which move everything from clothes and shoes to electronics and furniture, are burdened by 30% more capacity in the water than demand.
Many are fighting for survival as freight rates barely cover fuel costs.
China's slowing growth is considered the main cause of the industry's problems. The economy of the world's biggest exporter grew 6.7% in the second quarter, far less than the double-digit growth figures of past years, as it tries to transform its growth model from heavy industry and construction to services and consumption.
The economies of two major importers—the U.S. and the eurozone—expanded 1.2% and 0.3%, respectively in the second quarter.
"Global growth is just stumbling along and this has had a profound impact on shipping," said Basil Karatzas, a U.S. based maritime adviser. "Operators are bleeding money and if demand doesn't pick up they could either go belly up or swallowed by bigger players."
Shipping analysts say any operator with less than 5% global share of the container shipping market may be taken over by bigger players or be confined to regional trades.
Only four companies among the world's top 20 have more than 5% global share of that market. They include Maersk, Swiss-based Mediterranean Shipping Co., France's CMA CGM and China's Cosco Container Lines.
Soren Skou, chief executive of Danish conglomerate A.P. Møller-Mærsk said in an interview that Maersk Line, the group's shipping unit and the world's biggest container operator, is looking to buy smaller competitors "because many carriers haven't made money for years and that can't be sustainable in the long run."
Shipping executives say the Japanese container trio of Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha Ltd. , Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd. and Nippon Yusen Kaisha Ltd. along with Hong Kong-based Orient Overseas Container Line Ltd. and Taiwan's Yang Ming Marine Transport Corp. will likely be in the crosshairs of bigger players.
The crisis has hit some of the biggest banks financing shipowners. Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC, one of the world's premier shipping banks, said last week that it will be closing down its shipping business after failing to sell its portfolio.
Other banks, including Germany's HSH Nordbank AG, Norddeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale, and Bremer Landesbank have been struggling with billions of dollars in non-performing shipping loans over the past few years.

The Fasting and the Furious
Muhammad Alshareef discusses how to overcome the motivation dip in the middle of Ramadan.
Ramadan is like a 3-lap NASCAR race that most kick off with a well-oiled and fuelled machine only to discover it needs maintenance by the time it hits Lap 2. Because they haven't prepared for the middle slack before they rev again into the last 10 days of Ramadan, they've suffered a major loss in being the foremost in 'ibaadah.

Pupa Luminys Silk Eyeshadows
This is my first time purchasing this brand. I kept seeing them in SASA in Hongkong, but had always hesitant to try them.
This time however I decided to try 2 of their eyeshadow shades.
The 2 shades I get is Brown Taupe (400) and Golden Champagne (500). The line is called Luminys Silk and it's supposed to be a satin finish baked eyeshadow that can be used wet or dry.
So how do they perform?
I don't tend to use eyeshadows wet, so I apply them dry. The colors are opaque and smooth. The lasting power however is sadly lacking. Used without primer, they only last several hours before they started creasing.
I typically have no problem wearing eyeshadow without primer, but both of these crease on me. Which is sad, since the colors are beautiful.
I'm also not a fan of their packaging. It's bulky and takes up space.
Now for the swatches...
And finally a comparison between Brown Taupe with MAC's famous Satin Taupe, just because.

Gamers that have been following the Wii U have probably noticed the lack of substantial news concerning the platform. Considering the platform is coming out in a couple months, this may be a little worrying. Chandra over at Offical Nintendo Magazine says to keep the faith as we will get more news soon. I sure hope we do.
"Keep the faith nintendo fans. You won't see much at gamescom other than ubi updates but the good stuff IS just around the corner. …frustrating for me too but there is stuff coming soon."

Obama Foodorama
Happy New Year all! Thought I'd share a few thoughts on Obama Foodorama, LA blogger Eddie Gehman Kohan's site that captures food-related news about our president-elect.
This morning I finally got around to reading Michael Pollan's piece in the NY Times magazine. It's worth the read, but if you're short on time, Jeremy previously posted the Cliffs Notes. Thanks Cease! The article led me on a search for related content. Enter Obama Foodorama. I'll admit that global warming aside, I hadn't thought much about Obama's position on food in comparison to his stance on other issues (like global friendliness). But yeah...this is so fascinating and necessary when you think about how food affects pretty much everything we do.
Obama Foodorama blends news with fluff (e.g. Michelle Obama is a fan of Paula Deen. Yes!) and the the occasional examination of policy. I'm hoping that as Obama transitions into office, the blog will continue the fun while increasing a focus on the desire for massive (gasp!) political change. Surely I'm not the only one wanting to see a victory garden planted on the carefully tended White House grounds.

That is how I describe Remy Ryan, the gorgeous model in this editorial. She not only looks like an angel, but is also so sweet and has such a rich inner beauty that is other worldly.
It was a rainy and lazy sunday afternoon when we shot this at Anderson Studio. I was exhausted from a very busy week of styling and a huge fashion show. However, I was extremely excited to work with this team of amazing artists and talent. So I drank some green tea with ginseng and forged ahead!
We shot this as a submission for a bridal magazine, so I am looking forward to seeing this in print!
Dixie Dixon was the Art Director/Photographer and she had such a clear and organized vision for what she wanted to accomplish. Dixie is the first photographer I worked with in Dallas, after moving back from LA. Four years later we are still working and creating together. She is so encouraging on set to the talent and crew.
The wardrobe was provided by Edgar Gomez, a local Dallas designer who I absolutely adore. I love styling with such amazing designers who's passion comes through in every detail of their design. You can see his love of design and creative vision pouring out of every seam of his work. It inspires my work as a stylist too!
I loved creating the headpieces out of fresh flowers! In my other life I would own a local flower shop…..can you imagine the smell of gardenias everyday?
The jewelry was designed by Paulette of Allie Coosh. Her jewelry is also inspired and off the beaten path! I love design that grabs my attention and challenges me to use it in different ways in my styling.
Paige Anderson was the make-up artist who is a very dear friend of mine who I love to work and collaborate with any time I get the chance too. She has always been there for me and has helped me so much since moving back to Dallas.
Megan Waldmeier Tyler was the hairstylist who I just meet on set and was a pleasure to work with!
Check out behind-the-scene footage of the photo shoot!
Lorenzo Wallace was the videographer who shot the BTS video and is extremely helpful and knowledgable on set.

House Bill 3076, Vampires and Cop Killers March 17, 2010Posted by Crazy Mermaid in Delusions, Hallucinations, Involuntary Committment, mental illness.
Tags: Delusions, Hallucinations, Involuntary Committment, mental illness
Yet another case of an un-medicated mentally ill homeless person in Seattle made recent national news. A little different than normal, this individual in question believed that he was a vampire, entering a homeless shelter looking for "food" in the form of people he could eat. When the shelter refused to serve him his "food" and shuffled him outside, he strapped a metal device to his arm with electrical tape and proclaimed it was a bomb, shutting down a large section of downtown Seattle while his (false) claims were investigated.
What do a vampire and a cop killer have in common? Each of these individuals exhibited behavior that should have gotten them involuntarily committed to a mental hospital prior to their acts of violence. But due to the way our commitment laws here in Washington State are constructed, both the cop killer and the vampire were able to put up a good "front" of sanity as they were being interviewed by the County Mental Health Professional for possible involuntary commitment prior to their acts of violence. With the stroke of a pen, Governor Chris Gregoire can change all of this, making Washington State a safer place to work and play.
Passed by the State Senate on March 9, 2010 and the House on March 10, 2010, House Bill 3076, sitting on the Governor's desk awaiting her signature, is nothing short of an overhaul of the State's involuntary commitment laws.
The way the law stands now, a judge cannot take into consideration any evidence from witnesses regarding the behavior of a person being evaluated by a County Mental Health Professional for possible involuntary commitment. If an adult son or daughter living with their parents exhibits severe psychotic behavior in front of the parents but manages to keep it under wraps before the County Mental Health Professional, there is no way for the parents to act as witnesses to their son's psychotic behavior. The County Mental Health Professional's report to the judge making the decision regarding whether or not to involuntarily commit the person with the mental illness cannot contain any information except that which the Professional obtained directly from the person with the mental illness. No outside witnesses are allowed to give evidence or testimony. This means that if the person with the mental illness is sufficiently lucid enough, he can avoid commitment by simply holding it together long enough to get through the exam without blowing his cover. The exam over, the person reverts to his psychotic behavior once again. This scenario played out in the case of both the cop killer and the vampire. But after Governor Gregoire signs the new bill, this scene is much less likely to play out- at least in Washington State.
The new law gives witnesses, including family members, neighbors, landlords, or anyone else with significant contact and involvement with the person, the ability to give testimony to the Mental Health Professional as credible witnesses. The Mental Health Professional must rely upon information from this testimony from these credible witnesses in reaching a decision regarding whether to detain the individual.
The end product of this new legislation will be that people with severe mental illness who have been able to bamboozle Mental Health Professionals will be caught up short by people they have significant contact with. No more lying to keep out of the mental hospital. No more fooling the professionals with 2 hours of acting "normal" followed by 2 months of Hell when they get back home. Although this won't catch all of the cop killers and vampires out there, it will go a long ways towards finding them.
(Note: House Bill 3076 was signed into legislation by Governor Gregoire on April 1, 2010).

Miscellaneous name-dropping
And, just to warn you, I will now be posting about my cats. I was wary about turning this into a kitty blog, but if the intrepid Harry Hutton can do it, I can surely ride on his coat-tails, dammit.
I was re-reading Foot Eater's blog, and I was inspired by his post on Iran's president's blog, and my own experiences in the world of bad blogs, to come up with a new project. I suggest that we learn how to say "Your blog sucks" in as many languages as possible. This will be extremely useful, as we can leave the "Your blog sucks" in the blogger's comments section, in their native language. As I am an American, and vastly lacking in any languages other than English and Spanish, I would appreciate some help. Please do not make me do research; being an American, I am a lazy fucker.
Also, if any of you wiseacres posts a comment on here about how this blog sucks, I will put a curse on you that will make your penis turn green and break out in open, oozing sores. Don't think that you can get a cream for that; you will be properly fucked.

I suppose that would be "Votre blogue suce", in french, if you're going the literal route - which unfortunately won't mean anything to a frenchman, apart from perhaps an invitation to fellate his computer.
More meaningful options could be:
- Votre blogue est merdique.
- Votre blogue pue.
- Votre blogue est plus ringard qu'un 45 tours de Dick Rivers.
Note that I use the polite 2nd person plural form - I believe one should remain curteous even while being an arsehole.

Ah ha! I knew someone out there would speak some kind of dirty foreigner tongue!
Actually, "Please fellate your computer" doesn't sound too bad. Especially if said computer is plugged in.
Now, for the first one, I would have thought that was "Your blog is the shit," which of course is a compliment.
The second one obviously has something to do with Pepe Le Pew.
And for the third, I had to Google "Dick Rivers" (not as good of a name as "Dick Trickle," but what can you do?) and my opinion of the French has sunk even lower, if such a thing is possible. Fuck me, but he is ugly.
And I don't know who Google thinks they're fooling -- that "automatically translate into English" thing for a website is crap -- Dick Rivers' website in English "Dick Rivers -- Rocker In The Middle Tending," indeed.
I had an easier time reading it in French, which is really saying something. How many extra letters do you need to put in to French words to emphasize the fact that I can't pronounce any of them, and that they should all sound as if you've shoved a handful of marbles and a stick of butter in your mouth?
Ah well, never mind all that; thanks for the help!

Not only is he ugly, but he thinks he's Roy Orbison. Or Elvis. Or some other dead guy with dyed hair. You should see him live, trying to look seductive and american - funny as shit.
Speaking of which, the concept of The Shit being a good thing hasn't hit the french language at this point.
I bleieve the marbles n' butter technique is best applied to swedish. To properly speak french, you must purse your lips into the shape of a hen's asshole.

Ugh. Elvis creeps me out, always has. Roy Orbison's not much better.
See him "live"? He looks like death warmed over, and at this hour of the morning, I should know. Maybe he thinks dead American singers look seductive. I wouldn't put it past him; he looks like one sick fucker.
I'm sure the concept of "The Shit" will hit French at some point, after which they will promptly denounce it as an American plot.
And thanks for the tip on the lip pursing. See, that's why I could never get the French pronunciation before. I'll just think of my ex-husband naked, and that should put my face in to the proper sour form.

The Lebanese Madame/Mister Training Academy is pleased to invite you to sign up for our first session of classes! The Lebanese Madame/Mister Training Academy seeks to teach Madames and Misters how to treat a domestic worker who comes to live in their home with respect and dignity. It is the first course of its kind in Lebanon.
Unlike other courses which exist seek to fix the problem of miscommunication by teaching foreign domestic workers how to cook and clean 'correctly', we recognize that no amount of training maids will make up for the violence and abuse they often experience in Lebanese households.
Consider this:
80% of maids in Lebanon cannot leave their house on their day off, which means they are locked in a house for years.
34% are not even given one day off a week, meaning they have to work every single day of the week for years.
65% of maids report "experiencing a situation of forced labor, servitude or slavery"
Between 7-11% experience sexual harassment or assault during their work stay here in Lebanon.***
These statistics suggest that it is not just maids not cooking or cleaning 'properly' that causes miscommunication, but widespread human rights abuses in Lebanese society that might make domestic workers unhappy, want to run away, or commit suicide. The conditions outlined above reveal a very low quality of work and life, and we are committed to changing that!
If you engage in any of the behaviors mentioned above please consider signing up for our course, as we offer a great, tailor-made curriculum that discusses international human conventions (and how these behaviors directly contravene them) and also how these behaviors are violations of basic notions of human dignity and respect. In addition, we have special seminars on topics such as "How to talk to another human being with respect," and " 'Is this torture?': how to know when you're overworking someone to the point of physical and mental exhaustion."
The first classes start September 4th and we expect spots to fill up quickly, so sign up soon!
First three classes are $10, all classes after that only $5!

HOORAY!!! Training at Lord Deramores. I like it! Because it's my school field. I don't like training at University's Sport Centre. Because the carpet was very rough. I could not slide tackle. I hurt a lot during my training there. In Lord Deramores I trained on a real field. When it's rains the field is wet and muddy. I like it.

Outside my window... Hot. Hot hot hot!!! It's not even noon and it feels like 104. Actual temp is 89 with a high expected around 97. We have already broken a heat record. And it's only June. Why can't we ever have record lows??
I am thinking... that I really need to go thru the pile of bills in the box. I just know that it wont end well......
I am thankful... for my a/c. I really dont know how all those southern belles did it with it this hot and all those layers of clothing. No wonder so many of them swooned!
I am wearing... I'm still in my pjs. Yes I do realize it's almost noon and I dont care! It's one of the perks of summer.
I am creating... and finishing!!! Last monday I finished a charity vest that's been languishing for some time now. I plan on weaving in all the ends today and will post abt it tomorrow. It was a good project to get back into the swing of things.
I am going... to keep organizing and cleaning. It's amazing how much I've thrown out so far.
I am wondering...when I will tackle the craft room. It is more of a storage room than anything else and it scares me. No wait, the craft room is bad, but the GARAGE scares me.....
I am reading... I'm not reading but Baby Girl has found not one but TWO library books that have been missing for 2 months. That should help with the fines....
I am hoping... that the side job the IO is working on will actually turn into a full time position.
I am hearing......the bathroom fan and Lucy grooming herself. Theo and Hemi are also on the bed but they are still in their afternoon nap mode.
In my garden... Not much went on this year. I did plant two tomato plants that did quite well. In fact we had quite a few that there was no way I could eat them all. This was the IO's solution.
I think he used a Mario Batali recipe but I'm not sure. Either way it was good!
I think he used a Mario Batali recipe but I'm not sure. Either way it was good!
In my kitchen... before this heat wave and after I left work, I've been making up for lost time! I had a turkey in the freezer that I thawed and the four of us had a nice turkey dinner with stuffing and green bean casserole and crescent rolls. We kept it just the four of us and it was nice.
A peek into my summer: We have friends visiting this week so we have plans to see them on Friday and again on Sun. More friends are coming out tomorrow and we are trying to plan something for all of us to do (most likely bowling). We've got another NC trip coming up next week and then theatre camp starts. The day after it ends #1 Son starts band camp. We have very few quiet days this summer and I'm trying to enjoy all that I get.
If you want to play, go here.

Gajendragadkar J.
1. The short question which this appeal raises for our decision is whether the appellant assessee is resident in the taxable territories within the meaning of section 4A(b) of the Indian Income-tax Act, 1922. This question arises in this way.
2. The appellant is a registered firm owning a tea estate called 'The Erin Estate' at Galah in Ceylon. The firm consists of seven partners all of whom are permanent residents of certain villages in Tiruchirapalli District. The total sum paid by the partners amounts to Rs. 25,00,000 and the same is divided into 147 shares. Out of these 147 shares, Andiappa Pillai owns 50 shares, Veerappa Pillai owns 43 shares, Nagalingam Pillai owns 18 shares and the remaining four partners own 9 shares each. The estate owned by the firm produces tea which is sold to the authorities under the regulations prevailing in Ceylon. Under clause (3) of the partnership deed, the superintendent, Ponnambalam Pillai, who was himself a co-owner in the said estate previously, manages the estate and looks after its working from day to day. Ponnambalam Pillai permanently stays in Ceylon. He looks after the estate from day to day and it is by him that all sales are effected through commission agents by name Gordon and Company. The pass books for the bank account for the estate are kept in his name and he receives the income and makes the requisite disbursements from time to time.
3. The assessment proceedings for the assessment years 1939-40 to 1942-43 were started by the Additional Income-tax Officer, Tiruchirapalli Circle. The appellant submitted its returns before the Income-tax Officer and claimed that the firm was not resident in British India and so the income arising in Ceylon from the appellant's estate was not assessable to tax in India. The Income-tax Officer rejected the appellant's contention and held that the appellant was a resident under the provision of section 4A(b) of the Act and so he proceeded to tax the entire income accruing to and arising from the appellant's estate in Ceylon. The returns submitted by the appellant were accepted as substantially accurate and the appellant was assessed on its income from Ceylon with some minor adjustments considered necessary by the Income-tax Officer. The appellant filed appeals against the several assessments thus made before the Appellate Assistant Commissioner of Income-tax, Tiruchirapalli. These appeals, however, failed and were dismissed. The appellant then went in appeal before the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal, Madras; the Tribunal dealt with the appeal for 1941-42 assessment in the first instance and allowed it. The Tribunal took the view that the evidence produced in the case showed that the control and management of the appellant's affairs was situated wholly without the taxable territories and so it reversed the finding of the Income-tax authorities that the appellant was a firm resident in the taxable territories. For the other years in question the same order was passed by the Tribunal.
4. Against these orders of the Tribunal reference applications were filed by the Commissioner of Income-Tax but these applications were dismissed by the Tribunal under section 66(1) of the Act. Then the Commissioner took up the matter to the High Court of Madras under section 66(2); the High Court directed the Tribunal to refer the question as to 'whether the assessee firm was resident in British India within the meaning of section 4A(b) of the Act'. Accordingly a consolidated reference was made to the High Court and, on March 27, 1951, the High Court held that the appellant was a resident in British India and answered the question referred to it in the affirmative. Subsequently the appellant applied for and obtained a certificate from the High Court under section 66A(2) that the present case is a fit one to appeal to the Supreme Court of India. That is how this appeal has come before us; and the only point which it raises for decision is whether the appellant is a firm resident in the taxable territories under section 4A(b) of the Act.
5. This appeal was argued before this Court on February 9, 1956; but after arguments were heard for some time, the court adjourned the hearing of the appeal sine die, 'to enable the parties to compile an agreed paper-book containing letters which they respectively relied upon in support of their respective cases'. In pursuance of this direction, by consent the parties have filed an additional paper-book containing some more correspondence.
6. There is no doubt that the question raised for our decision is a question of law. Whether or not the appellant is a resident firm under section 4A(b) would depend upon the legal effect of the facts proved in the case. The status of the appellant which has to be determined by reference to the relevant section of the Act is a mixed question of fact and law and in determining this question the principles of law deducible from the provisions of the said section will have to be applied. This position has not been disputed before us in the present proceedings. Section 4A(b) provides inter alia that 'for the purpose of the Act, a firm is resident in the taxable territories unless the control and management of its affairs is situated wholly without the taxable territories'. This provision shows that, where the partners of a firm are residents of this country, the normal presumption would be that the firm is resident in the taxable territories. This presumption is rebuttable and it can be effectively rebutted by the assessee showing that the control and management of the affairs of the firm is situated wholly without the taxable territories. The onus to rebut the initial presumption is on the assessee. The control and management contemplated by the section evidently refers to the controlling and directing power. Often enough, this power has been described in judicial decisions as the 'head and brain'; the affairs of the firm which are subject to the said control and management refer to the affairs which are relevant for the purpose of taxation and so they must have some relation to the income of the firm. When the section refers to the control and management being situated wholly without the taxable territories it implies that the control and management can be situated in more places than one. Where the control and management are situated wholly outside India the initial presumption arising under the section is effectively rebutted. It is true that the control and management which must be shown to be situated at least partially in India is not the merely theoretical control and power, not a de jure control and power but the de facto control and power actually exercised in the course of the conduct and management of the affairs of the firm. Theoretically, if the partners reside in India they would naturally have the legal right to control the affairs of the firm which carries on its operations outside India. The presence of this theoretical de jure right to control and manage the affairs of the firm which inevitably vests in all the partners would not by itself show that the requisite control and management is situated in India. It must be shown by evidence that control and management in the affairs of the firm is exercised, may be to a small extent, in India before it can be held that control and management is not situated wholly without the taxable territories. (Vide B. R. Naik v. Commissioner of Income-tax, Bombay : [1945]13ITR124(Bom) . The effect and scope of the provision of section 4A(b) has been considered by this court in V. V. R. N. M. Subbayya Chettiar v. Commissioner of Income-tax, Madras [1950] S.C.R. 961, 965). After examining the relevant decisions on this point, Fazl Ali, J., who delivered the judgment of the court, has observed '(1) that the conception of residence in the case of a fictitious 'person' such as a company, is as artificial as the company itself and the locality of the residence can only be determined by analogy, by asking where is the head and seat and directing power of the affairs of the company'....... (2) Mere activity by the company in a place does not create residence, with the result that a company may be 'residing' in one place and doing a great deal of business in another.' (3) 'The central management and control of a company may be divided and it may keep house and do business in more than one place, and, if so, it may have more than one residence.' (4) 'In case of dual residence it is necessary to show that the company performs some of the vital organic functions incidental to its existence as such in both the places so that in fact there are two centers of management.' It is in the light of these principles that section 4A(b) has to be construed. Thus the only question which remains to be considered is whether the High Court of Madras was right in holding that the appellant was resident in India under section 4A(b).
7. On behalf of the appellant, Mr. Kolah has contended that the only conclusion which can be legitimately drawn from the evidence in the case is that the control and management of the appellant's affairs resided wholly in Ceylon. In support of this argument he has laid considerable emphasis on clause (3) of the Partnership deed. This clause provides that the estate (of the firm) shall be managed 'by the superintendent Shriman A. B. S. T. Ponnambalam Pillai who has hitherto been in charge of the same and managing the same or by a person appointed by a majority of the partners'. The appellant's case is that, since the partners had specifically left the superintendent in charge of the management of the estate, the control and management was entirely entrusted to him and thus it is wholly situated in Ceylon. It is no doubt true that the substantial part of the management of the estate was left to the superintendent. The superintendent was staying near the estate and was looking after its management and its affairs from day to day. Prima-facie the material clause in the partnership deed and the evidence adduced in regard to the general management of the affairs of the estate are no doubt in favour of the appellant; but it has been held by the High Court that the correspondence produced in the case conclusively showed that the control and management was not wholly situated in Ceylon and that at least a part of the control and management was situated in India because the partners who resided in the District of Tiruchirapalli are shown to have exercised control and management of the affairs of the firm from time to time. It is this conclusion which has been challenged by Mr. Kolah. We must, therefore, proceed to examine the evidence given by the parties and the correspondence produced by the appellant in the case.
8. Andiappa Pillai stated before the Income-tax Officer that the Superintendent looked after the entire management of the estate and the entire control of the affairs of the firm had been left to him by the partners. He, however, admitted that, if anything done by him appeared to them to be irregular, they had the right to check him or to give him direction as to how he should carry on the business. He also added that so far there had been no occasion from them to disagree with anything done by him. Whilst Andiappa Pillai thus claimed that no control has been exercised from India, he had to concede that at the beginning of every the superintendent sends to the four partners mentioned by him a budget concerning any important or big matter to be attended to in connection with the estate. It was usual for them, said Pillai, to approve of the budget. It would thus be clear that this statement shows that in regard to important and big matters a budget was required to be submitted by the superintendent to the four principal partners and it was after the budget was approved by them that the superintendent was at liberty to act upon it. In our opinion, the fact that the budget thus submitted by the superintendent was usually approved by the partners does not detract from the position that the budget had to be submitted and could be acted upon only after it was approved. The act of approval in the context is undoubtedly an act of exercising the right of control and management of the affairs of the firm. That the estimate for 1940 had been submitted to the partners appears from the letter written by Veerappa Pillai to the superintendent on January 2, 1940. In this letter Veerappa Pillai had told the superintendent that only the school building should be built during the year and that the plan about the stable may be considered and attended to after April or May. Andiappa Pillai's letter to the superintendent written on December 31, 1939, gives instructions about manuring and asks the superintendent to undertake the building works mentioned in the letter as economically as possible even though the estimated cost of the building had been approved. Then instructions are given as to how the salary of the three accountants should be adjusted in the account. He was also told that Periasamy had complained that his salary was insufficient and the superintendent was required to give his opinion about the merits of the complaint. A direction was also given to the superintendent that tea should be taken in accordance with what is mentioned in the estimate so as not to go behind the quantity stated there. In other words, the superintendent was asked to confine the purchase of the tea within the limits mentioned in the estimate which had been approved. It appears that, on receiving the opinion of the superintendent about the complaint made by Periasamy in regard to his salary, the superintendent was told to pay him Rs. 2 more per month. This no doubt is a small item but it shows that even where the salary of a clerk had to be increased by Rs. 2, the clerk made a representation to the partner, the partner called for the opinion of the superintendent and, on considering the representation and the opinion together, the partner directed the superintendent to pay the clerk Rs. 2 more per month. By his letter dated July 11, 1940, Andiappa Pillai directed the superintendent as to how the garden income should be adjusted. Once in six months Rs. 7,500 to Rs. 10,000 should be retained as reserve and the balance distributed amongst the partners in proportion to their shares. That is the direction given. Then the superintendent is told to engage labourers and to send Vaidyalingam and the labourers to cut wild plant growth in both the said garden and Konangodai garden. Certain other directions as to the work to be assigned to the other clerks are also given. On July 13, 1940, Andiappa Pillai told the superintendent to pack and send 70 lbs. F.B.O.P. tea and suggested that, if the tea had not been sent already to Veerappa Pillai, he should carry out the said instruction. In this letter the superintendent is also asked to enquire from other companies the price of Nevvil and he is told that, having regard to the nature of the current sales of tea, manuring need not to be stopped. On July 29, 1940, the superintendent is told as to how the account is to be made in regard to the charges for the guards. On August 8, 1940, Andiappa Pillai tells the superintendent that 'when the coupon price goes down purchase for our garden 20,000 lbs.' This correspondence shows that the entire control and management of the affairs of the firm had not been left with the superintendent. In regard to the manuring of tea gardens, the salary to be paid to the clerk, the purchase to be made, the expenditure to be incurred in constructing a building, the manner in which the goods should be packed and sent, all these are subjects discussed by the partners in their letters to the superintendent and in respect of all these, presumably the superintendent had asked for directions and the partners gave him the directions. Besides, we have already referred to the admission made by Andiappa Pillai that, at the beginning of every year, the superintendent sent to the four important partners a budget concerning important and big matters to be attended to during the course of the year. Having regard to this evidence we are unable to accept the appellant's argument that the control and management of the appellant's affairs was situated wholly in Ceylon. In dealing with this question it would be relevant to bear in mind that the appellant would not succeed even if it is shown that a part of the control and management of the affairs of the company rested in India. The control and management must no doubt be shown to have been actually exercised; and the exercise of the control and management should not be illusory or merely notional. Once it is shown that control and management in the affairs of the firm was exercised by the partners residing in India, it would not be relevant to enquire whether the control and management thus exercised amounted to a substantial part of the control and management of the affairs of the firm. The exercise of the control and management even in part in the taxable territories would be enough to fix the appellant with the character of a resident within section 4A(b). We must accordingly hold that the High Court of Madras was justified in holding that the appellant is a firm resident in the taxable territories.
9. Mr. Kolah then raised a further point which had not been urged before the High Court. He contended that the control and management mentioned in section 4A(b) must be control and management valid and effective in law. Under section 12 of the Partnership Act, it is only the majority of partners who could have given effective directions to the superintendent and since there is no evidence that the alleged control and management has been exercised by the majority of partners acting in concert it would not be possible to hold that any control and management of the firms affairs resided in India. We do not think there is any substance in the argument. Under section 12(a), every partner has a right to take part in the conduct of the business and it is only where difference arises as to ordinary matters connected with the business of the firm that the same has to be decided by majority of partners under sub-section (c) of the said section. It has not been suggested or shown that there was any difference between the partners in regard to the matters covered by the individual partner's letters of instruction to the superintendent. Indeed the course of conduct evidenced by these letters shows that Andiappa Pillai who holds the maximum number of individual shares has purported to act for the partnership and usually gave instructions in regard to the conduct and management of the firm's affairs. On the record we see no trace of any protest against, or disagreement with, this conduct of Andiappa Pillai. Besides, it was never suggested during the course of the enquiry before the Income-tax Officers that the directions given by Andiappa Pillai were not valid or effective and had not been agreed upon by the remaining partners. That is why we think this technical point raised by Mr. Kolah must fail.
10. The result is the appeal fails and must be dismissed with costs.
11. Appeal dismissed.

Preliminary archaeological studies in St George's Square, Valletta have uncovered an undocumented network of underground passageways, which could possibly connect to the Palace.
Studies are being undertaken in St George's Square in preparation for the building of a one-storey underground car park and the subsequent embellishment of the square.
The project, piloted by the Works Division and the Valletta Rehabilitation Project, still needs to be given the green light by the Malta Environment and Planning Authority.
The passageways were discovered on Tuesday when government employees from the Works Division under architect Claude Borg dug through a wall in a small room on Archbishop Street. After clearing debris and other material, they discovered that the passageway leads to under the Main Guard portico, parallel to the Palace.

Walled cities have always held a universal fascination. I grew up within a stone's throw from two such cities. Both Vittoriosa and Valletta, the two Vs, have a strong link to the Order of St John. The World Heritage City of Valletta, soon to be the European Capital of Culture, came about as a result of a victorious war fought from behind the walls of Vittoriosa. Their stories of Knights and Grandmasters, their auberges and palaces intrigue me, as they do visitors and residents alike.
