He had undergone a bypass surgery earlier. "He had kidney problems", Shashi Kapoor's nephew and actor Randhir Kapoor told Indian Express.
He was confined to wheelchair for the last several years. "He was on dialysis for several years", Randhir Kapoor said. Mr Kumar said that Mr Kapoor besides acting also excelled in the direction. The government of India honoured Shashi Kapoor with Padma Bhushan in 2011 for his contributions to Art-Cinema.
The actor's performance has been widely acknowledged and has been felicitated with several awards.
Raj Kapoor, who died in 1988, was also a famous Hindi cinema actor. Born as Balbir Raj Prithviraj Kapoor, the actor-filmmaker was the third and youngest son of Prithviraj Kapoor, brother of Raj Kapoor and Shammi Kapoor. My condolences to Sanjana, Kunal, Karan and everyone in the family.
Shashi started his film journey as a child artist and, in his lifetime, appeared in over 150 films.
Vice-president M Venkaiah Naidu said Kapoor will be remembered for the memorable roles he played in a number of films.
Shashi was one of the first Indian stars who worked in worldwide films - British and American films particularly in collaboration with Merchant-Ivory productions.
In 1965, he appeared in films such as Waqt, directed by Yash Chopra and Jab Jab Phool Khile, both blockbusters, but for the most part his films were routine, frothy confections of that period, shot in the hills and involving little more than romancing the heroine. He went on to immortalize characters like Prem Sagar in The Householder and Sanju in Shakespeare-Wallah respectively.
Shashi Kapoor has acted in a total of 160 movies of which 12 are English and 148 Hindi.
Two minutes silence was observed at Delhi International Film Festival to pay homage to the veteran actor on his demise. However, many people have innocently mistaken him for Shashi Tharoor and mourned the death of the former union minister. He was also seen opposite Raakhee in films such as Kabhi Kabhie, Pighalta Aasman and Trishna.

The winner of Polyphony Digital's GT Academy experiment - a competition that put players of the popular Gran Turismo racing game into the cockpit of an actual race car - has announced that he intends to continue with a career in motorsport.
Lucas Ordonez beat thousands of other contenders to win a spot in a Nissan 350Z at the Dubai 24-hour, where he and his teammates managed to finish ninth in their class.
But 24-hours of non-stop racing wasn't enough for the Spaniard, and yesterday Ordonez made an exceptional return to the circuit by clinching third place at the Silverstone round of the GT4 European Cup with teammate Alex Buncombe.
Ordonez will go on to race his GT4-class Nissan 350Z in Italy, Germany, Portugal and Belgium, where he will hopefully build upon his present success.
Kazunori Yamauchi (above, with Ordonez), creator of the Gran Turismo series was pleased at Ordonez's transition from gamer to racer:
"Lucasââ¬â¢s performance has been excellent, but I would expect that from a driver trained using Gran Turismo," he said.
"I always believed that someone good at GT could drive as fast as a professional; in fact, I think that they could even go faster."
With much of his prior racing experience being obtained via the hand controller of a Playstation, it's safe to say a lot of eyes will be on Ordonez as he contests the GT4 cup. Even if he doesn't manage to score another trophy, he's already a winner for giving countless gamers hope that their virtual skills can translate into the real world.
Have a gander at the video below to check out Ordonez's professional racing debut at the Dubai 24hr.

"We need beauty because it makes us ache to be worthy of it."
~ Mary Oliver
My father brought the first one home when I was quite small, towing it behind the "rig" and parking it beside the house. It had a round roof and was painted silver, with red? stripes. Inside there was a sink and a bed and a place to sit and eat with a table. There were curtains on the windows and cupboards to store things, and boy were we excited.
I was that kid that never made it to Disney Land. But I camped. That trailer was the first of several my parent's owned, each one getting a bit more comfortable, a bit more like home. Each one taking them to the beach, or mountain lakes and rivers, each one parked beside their home, and ready for a new journey.
My father would sit and plan the trips at our kitchen table. Pouring over maps, looking for a lake or river he saw while flying: mapping out our trip. I remember once traveling over a road, the kind of road that poofs with dust with each steep you take, heading into nowhere, my mother telling him so, in no uncertain terms, from the front seat, I can see the sparkle in his eyes as he told her, "Now, I am pretty sure this is the road, just relax."
And yes, it was the road and the small mountain lake was worth the journey. However, once he had everything all set up and we opened the trailer we discovered every inch of it was covered in a fine power of dust from that road. Every canned good, every dish, everything. Mom spent the day taking everything out and cleaning it, probably having to haul water up from the lake. I don't think she talked to him the whole trip.
So I feel at home in a camping trailer and ours is so nice. I spent last week with Gary over in Richland, in our new trailer, getting it ready for camping. The RV park he is in is full of Hanford workers, and nothing like the camp grounds I camped in as a child. There is a pool and hot tub, a tiny store, showers and laundry facilities and sketchy internet. There are people there who have lived there for years, and some who just pull in for a few months work.
I spent the week unplugged. I slept in and read. I walked the dog along the Columbia and around our old neighborhood. One day I hit all my favorite stores and then had dinner with a friend. I sat at the table and planned camping trips for us this spring and summer and shared my lunch with Basil. And each night, after work, he came home to the trailer and we were together.
and it was good. . .
I came to understand how blessed I am; how this is our time now and there is not a right or wrong way to do it, only our way. And our way is pretty darn good.
have a wonderful weekend,
thanks so much for stopping by!

Human beings won't go on forever, and nor does their ability to grapple with eternity
The Sun formed 4.5bn years ago, but it's got around six billion years more before its fuel runs out. It will then flare up, engulfing the inner planets. Any creatures witnessing the Sun's demise won't be human— they'll be as different from us as we are from a bug. Post-human evolution could be as prolonged as the Darwinian evolution that has led to us.
And evolution is now accelerating; it can happen via intelligent design on a technological time-scale, operating far faster than natural selection and driven by advances in genetics and in artificial intelligence (AI). The long-term future probably lies with electronic rather than organic life.
In cosmological or Darwinian terms, a millennium is but an instant. So let us fast forward not for a few centuries or millennia, but for an astronomical timescale millions of times longer than that. The stellar births and deaths in our galaxy will gradually proceed more slowly, until jolted by the environmental shock of an impact with the Andromeda Galaxy, maybe four billion years hence. The debris of our galaxy, Andromeda and their smaller companions—which now make up what is called the Local Group—will thereafter aggregate into one amorphous swarm of stars. Many billions of years after that, gravitational attraction will be overwhelmed by a mysterious force latent in empty space that pushes galaxies apart from each other. Galaxies accelerate away and disappear over a horizon. All that will be left in view, after 100bn years, will be the dead and dying stars of our Local Group, which could continue for trillions of years. Against the darkening background, sub-atomic particles such as protons may decay, dark matter particles annihilate and black holes evaporate—and then silence.

Rerouting of Highway 18 Into City Long Overdue The changing of State Highway 18'a twisting entry into the western outskirts of Biytheville has been dis'cussecl off and on for a number of years, and such a project is long overdue, j This idea was injected into the news again this week when the Chamber of Commerce board of directors adopted a resolution urging that the highway b« rerouted. Blythevilla long ago outgrew the narrow strip that is South 21st Street and also purports to be a state highway. This vicinity had outgrown Highway 18 ^•est of here long before anything was done about it. When Highway ]8 was widened and Improved, this work was halted' about & mile from Blytheville's city limits, presumably to make it possible to reroute the highway. Actual rerouting of Highway 18, however, is up to the state and all we can do here is keep asking that this be done. We had to keep asking to get the highway west of here improved and finally it was done. Perhaps if we keep sounding off, the state will eventually reroute Highway 18 around the South 21st Street bottleneck. It probably will take a lot of asking and this bypass, like Rome, won't be built in a day. Riddle of U.S. Inconsistency Puzzles Backward Nations Three events in recent days must have left the people of certain backward and poverty-ridden areas of the world a little puzzled as to what's going on under Uncle Sam's tall gray hat. President Truman took occasion to praise the work of this country's Point Four program of aid to underprivileged countries. Point Four, based on the principle of helping others to help themselves— agriculturally, industrially, and educationally—is one of this country's strongest forces in combatting the inroads of communism among peoples most susceptible to it. Much of the work of the program has been concentrated in those countries from the Mediterranean eastward to the Pacific, along Russia's southern border. Reports from these areas indicate the program is having its effect, both from the simple humane standpoint and from the standpoint of winning us friends where we most need them. And successful giving being somehow the difficult task it is—for even th* neediest look often with ill favor upon their benefactor—the reaction to our aid is heartening. But no sooner had the President spoken in praise of this laudable program than the United States lowered the boom on Tunisia in that North African country's fight for independence from the French. H happened when this country declined to vote either way on whether the French-Tunisian question should be brought before the United Nations Security Council for discussion. The Pakistan delegate, president of the Security Council'and spokesman for the Asian-African group which sponsored Tunisia's case, said the date would go down in history "as the day when the foundations were laid for the suppression of free discussion in the United Nations." He said, in a rather touching attempt at American lingo, that America's refusal to take a stand on the matter was "the most unkindnst cut of all." When the votes ware tabulated, he added, an abstention had the same result as voting against having the Security Council discuss the question. The effect of this is by no means lost on other countries, similar in many ways to Tunisia, where we are trying to gel results with our Point Four program. It's true that for the sake of political and military units in Kurope at this time, the United Stales must get along with France. But the people of backward countries we are helping—many of which have just achieved self-determination—may well question how at the same time we can in effect back the French colonial policy. Fortunately for us the balance was tipped somewhat in our favor by n third event which came about without much fanfare or public notice, but which nevertheless means a great deal in the subject under discussion. The Ford Foundation, in announcing it had made grants totaling over $22,000,000 last year for world betterment, disclosed that $6,550,000 wont to improve the standard of living in India, Pakistan, and the Middle East. That's money from a private source In the United States and it was spent without the encumbrances of diplomatic policy. It should carry some weight in those countries where we need all the weight we can get. Let's hope so. Views of Others 'This Is Untrue' The lie direct is flung at the President In the Collier's magazine article evoked by Mr. Truman's attack In his own book on James F. Byrnes. The former Secretary of slate and present Governor of South Carolina lias not been mlncieri to take that lying down. If anything, Governor Byrnes Is more articulate than Truman. Chapter and verse he clU?s to add, "Tills ts untrue." There is a school of thought which holds that the office of President Is so sacrosanct that the charge of uttering untruths should not be made. As a policy that can be adopted only if the man who happens to be President sticks to the truth. The office ought to be above fIImflam- ming the public In personal interest. Unfortunately, It has been occupied at tlmrs by some men who have thought n lie excusable if U Justified their ends. The average human being—and Mr. Truman Is a very average human being—always regards his own ends as meritorious. Mr. Truman exercised questionable taste In miiklni: his diaries available while lu office for the book, "Mr. President.' By doing so he capitalized on the presidency nnd used the prtvstlse of the office to give aright to ex parte opinion with the gulUblo public. Presidential ethics have been on the downgrade for a long time new, There has been no reversal of the trend In the Truman tenure. So It is useful fnr a mnn who has dealt with Truman policies at first hand to be available for necessary rejoinder. - -Dallas Morning News SO THEY SAY "I Like These Battles—I Always Win!" A Peter Edson'j Washington Column — Japanese Peace Treaty Ends Many of Truman War Powers WASHINGTON —(NEA)— President Truman's seizure of the st«el Industry to prevent a strike lias aroused so much antagonism in Congress that the whole subject of presidential emergency powers U bound to come up for revision. An opportunity to consider this issite arises automatically In Congress within the next 60 days. The chance to restrict the President's powers comoK indirectly from ratification of the Japanese p e ace treaty on April 20, ThiA will mark the «nd of the last existing state of war' declared In 1041. With Ihe making of this peace some 150 of the Peter Ed Kin President's statutory war powers would come to nn end. About 60 of these powers are considered Important for carrying on the "state of emergency" which President Truman proclaimed Dec 16, 1050, after the outbreak of the Korean fighting, * • * THKOUCill THE Bureau of the Budget and the Deportment of Defense, President Truman has asked Congress to renew these 60 war powers until six months after the end of this Korean emergency. Because of the press of other business—and an Easter vacation— Congress has had' time only to grant the Prfcsidcnt R 60-day ext«n si on of these emergency powers. Is runs to June 30. " ! In considering renewal of these powers, however, Congress will have a chance to tack on any amendment it choosps to curb the President's powers to seize industry, start another Korean war in, sny Fndo -china, or any thine else that coiiRMsinnal whim or the political temper of the times may dictate. Big books have been written and more and bigger books will be written on this subject of the powers of the U.S. President. The reason that the lirnit, of these powers has never been defined. These powers are of two kinds— Constitutional and statutory. The latter are .specific powers granted by act of Conprcss. The former are broad and general. Together they make any U.S. President while in office one of the most powerful heads of a state the world has eve: known, even though he may be kicked out every four years. • • • ARTICLE TWO of the US. Constitution says .simply that, "The Executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America." Section two of this Article specifics in brief that the President shall be Coinmanrtcr-in-Chl'ef of the Army anti Navy. ... He shall have the power to make treaties, by R with the consent of the Senate. , The President shall have the power lo rill up all vacancies. ... He shall give to the Congress information on the stale of the union. ... He shnl take care that the ln\re be faithfully executed. . . . He shall be removed from office, on impeachment . . . for high crimes and misdemeanors. Under this broad grant of power Thomas Jefferson purchased Louisiana. James Monroe declared the ^tonroe Doctrine. Abraham Lie ccln freed the slaves. Franklin D Roo?rvelt promulgated the Atiantii Charter. And President Harry Tru man sent U.S. trnops from Japan into Korea to stop Communist ag grcf-sion. None of these acts may have been authorized by any specific languar In the US. Constitution or In an; law. But they have stuck.

These orders were not I aw.*, The dispute still rages as to whether they were Constutional. But again, they stuck. In addition to these Constitution- j at powers. Presidents Roosevelt and Truman had during the war years some 600 sfcatuatory, emergency powers. They were all dumped on ,he President's desk by net ol Congress to meet new emergencies as ,hey aroM. The well-known 80th Congress tried to wipe the slate clean on a lot of these World War II powers, but the eraser didn't work too well. An "end of hostilities" was officially declared in effect Dec. 31, 1946. That wiped some 50 powers off the woks. Another 200 minor war powers were ended the following July. The big Decontrol Act of the following October terminated most of the ail- ttwrity in the First and Second War Powers Acts. That look away the President's power to reorganize government agencies almost at will. Of the economic controls, authority to fix rent ceilings was almost the only one carried over and even that was limited. There still remained some 360 war powers and this list was further extended when President Truman d&- cLared a national emergency in December, 1950, Defense Mobilisation Acts then gave him still further powers to manage the economy and the armed force*. Many of these powers are routine, like permitting the Department ol Defense to examine the books of war contractors. Others, like authority to assume control of transportation and strengthening the espionage laws are of top Importance. lo see that justice is done and that nobody's feelings are hurt.

text: It was a beautiful day in the PNW this Easter Sunday. We had so much fun at church this morning and then drove over to my parents' house in Kirkland for Easter egg hunting, relaxing, and a delicious dinner. The boys had a blast playing with their Uncle Jon and Connor gave the cutest Easter prayer at dinner: "thank you for mama and Happy Easter that we get to do today". It was adorable. Love my little family. Happy Easter everyone!

Attracting the visitors and making them revisit is the initial step. The final purpose of an internet site is to convert a customer into a customer. For that your web site ought to satisfy the need of the customers, means present them with detailed information of the services or products they are looking for. Ensure that your web site offers them the details about the services they're in search of and about your organization as nicely as a result of this is one of the best ways to earn their trust. If they belief you and are glad with what you supply they are going to surely buy your products or services. Not solely that, they may also refer your company to others.
With that stated, you don`t at all times get what you pay for. I`ve seen companies literally cost $30,000 for a website that would have been finished for $5000. You must at all times watch out, and discover a firm or designer you'll be able to trust. Find out what is essential to your enterprise. What do clients need to get out of your web site? If you can't accomplish those targets with your funds, chances are you'll want to regulate it. When you can, but your designer needs to do extra, slim it back. Don`t get offered on a weblog if it doesn`t apply to your corporation. Stick with the core of your enterprise, and maintain the message simple. Clients don`t like to be overloaded. Make the site straightforward to navigate, easy to load, and easy to search out.
There are two types of website design such as; static and dynamic web site design. You possibly can opt for static as well as dynamic web site design where former relies on simple HTML code and latter is developed with advanced and complex technologies primarily based on the information provided within the database.
Many imagine that attention-grabbing and fascinating visible types are the key to excellent net page creating. Unfortunately the thought is very lost. It is all the very subjective information that such believer is making an attempt to generate in others. Truly easy visible growing can't aid you unless your web style is easy and simple to use. Those that are engaged in net creating UK perceive these facets effectively.
If you want to take your business international, the only approach out is to step into the world of web with a terrific wanting website equipped with all the requisite instruments which are vital for its efficient functioning. Area Design Agency Ltd hosts ready internet designers who cater to all your web designing wants.

weekend lookback, fifteenth birthday edition
My baby (!) turned 15 this weekend. Can. Not. Believe. The Phillies were playing in DC (a short 3 hour drive from us, as opposed to the 5ish it takes to get to a game in Philadelphia), so we spend his birthday at his happy place: the ball park. We try as much as we can to give experiences more than things, (although, let's face it, I like things too) and while this post is not meant to be a lecture about consumerism and whatnot (and trust me, we consumed plenty in this experience), I can't say enough how wonderful it was to roll out of bed early with no other intent than to spend the day with the goal of pure enjoyment and being together as a family.
That was good. On the drive up, Cal was asking us about his birth and our reactions to his arrival. It's been a long time since we've recounted that story (Don't worry, I won't do it here.), and even now after all these years, the thing that stands out to me is the way he turned his head to look at me as if to say, "Oh yeah. There you are." Fifteen years later, coming out of school, crossing the street, standing rows apart at the ball park, countless other times throughout the days and years, I can still see that look on his face.
"Oh yeah. There you are."
My dearest son. Where would I be without you?

FRAMINGHAM — Saxonville residents and tenants of the Saxonville Mills will soon have a new spot to hang out and grab a cup of joe.
The Zoning Board recently approved a request from mill owner Charlotte Maynard to convert a section of the property into a cafe.
The business will offer coffee, beverages and pastries, and also house a coffee roasting operation, according to paperwork filed with the town.
Plans show an 860 square-foot cafe area, with another section measuring 770 square feet for roasting coffee and preparing food. The small cafe will be housed near the corner of Concord and Central streets, and will offer seven dedicated parking spaces outside.
"We have over 60 different business tenants in the complex and many of them have asked if we would ever consider doing some kind of coffee or cafe type spot," said Maynard, whose family has owned the mill buildings since the 1970s.
While much of the mill complex is occupied, it lacks restaurants and eateries. It holds one specialty food distributor — Boston Gourmet Chefs — but the business doesn't sell food on-site for consumption.
The cafe will be owned and operated by a current tenant who is in the coffee business. The owner plans to open six or seven days per week, beginning around 6 in the morning and remaining open into the afternoon or early evening.
Maynard said the business is tentatively scheduled to open in February. She hopes it will prove popular with tenants and residents in the neighborhood.
"There's a couple other spots (for food), and everybody goes to all these spots," she said, "but compared to the amount of people and the amount of spots, there's really not that much diversity."
Lynne Damianos, a longtime resident of Meadow Street who also has an office in the mill, said she's eager for its arrival.
"A lot of us leave the mills to go get coffee," she said, "and I know that there will be a lot of us that would simply love to walk, and also local residents would love to walk, to a local coffee shop as well."

Have you ever given thought to the creative process that goes into making your jewellery? When I first came across Rasma Puspure's designs, they were astounding, to say the least. This young Latvian jewellery designer welds together an eco-conscious approach and light, effortless design, creating pieces so full of character they will spice up any wardrobe. I talked to Rasma about her journey of becoming an artist, and what it's like to create beautiful jewellery pieces out of various lasting and recycled metals.
Words: Johanna Raudsepp
Rasma Puspure: Ethical Jewellery Designer #Savant
Photo: Arttu Karvonen
What inspired you to become a jewellery designer?
At first it was about giving it a try. I realised that my dream of becoming an architect was unreal, because I simply didn't like to spend so much time at the computer and I'm definitely not so good with all those calculations. When it was time to apply for university, I decided to choose the metal design department at Art Academy of Latvia. It just sounded like something I could try (and because of spending 8 years at art schools, it was easy for me to get in). I imagined metal design studies as a combination of art, graphic design, and work at the bench and computer in a good balance. In the end, it was even better than I had imagined. My main goal was to create something that lasts. And jewellery often last even longer than architecture, right?
How do you communicate a sustainable approach to your design?
As I mentioned, my main goal is to make things last. And that basically correlates with sustainable design approach. I have chosen to keep it small, make all of the jewellery myself, and use as much local materials and services as possible. Over the 7 years I have been making jewellery, I've seen myself choosing the long-lasting materials and trying to ignore fashion trends, as well as threaded jewellery, fabrics and other materials that simply end up in garbage after a few times of wearing. And I take time for every piece I make, which is certainly reducing the amount of pieces, but at the same time it's increasing the quality of every item.

What does sustainability mean to you?
For me, it's a combination of several aspects. As an artist, I simply have to create and I choose to create things that last. Recycling is one of the aspects, too. That's why I love to work with silver. Most of my pieces are made from recycled silver. And that way I know, even if the owner or the heir will not like the piece anymore after some time, it will be recyclable. As a consumer, I also try to buy less lately and rather buy excellent craftsmanship and timeless design pieces for myself. It's just that I don't want to support fast-fashion and the damage it brings.

Where do you draw inspiration from when designing a new collection?
With every new collection, it's a bit different, but for me it's a never-ending process in everyday routine. Ideas just pop up and I have to make them become reality. Most of my ideas also occur as I'm working straight into material. I don't do sketches for my projects, because I love to work straight into material, so I can be free from trying to make the piece exactly as drawn. And the result is always better this way for me. Creative freedom is the most important aspect of creating itself for me.

Your To* Please collection features some outstanding textures and classic silhouettes. Tell us a bit about the creative process behind it.
To* Please is my final Masters degree collection at Art Academy of Latvia. I graduated with first five To* Please collections and now there's two more. And a new one coming soon. Those are collections of mutually interchangeable and combinable earrings. My main focus and interest was women's habit of collecting, as well as the desire to participate in the creation of close things. An important prerequisite for the development of these collections was researching different interests and hobbies. Thinking about a variety of topics that women are most interested in, I concluded that a large proportion of individuals are interested in, for instance, astrology, or are engaged in handicrafts. Many women are interested in the themes of spiritual growth, self-improvement and prominence of femininity. These facts prompted the making of this project, which include the maximum range of subjects and interests reflected in my interpretation.

What is your favourite part about jewellery design?
Making it! And to be able to see my designs worn.
Rasma Puspure: To* Please 'Femininity'
If you could describe your design aesthetic with one colour, what would it be and why?
I would say silver. Since it's also included in most of the colour palettes. And there are millions of variations of it! From whitened silver to polished and oxidised... My designs are as diverse as silver can be.

Once a shoreline has been restored it will need help getting established. There are several potential threats to which your native Michigan plants can be susceptible.
Weeds and other invasive plant species.
As the new plants get established, it will take time for them to fill in and be able to keep weeds and invasive plants at bay. In that time invasive plants such as Purple Loosestrife can take over a native planting due to prolific seeding and rooting capabilities. The Natural Shoreline Professional at Upstream Waters Landscape has the knowledge and training to spot the "bad" plants and remove these plants and weeds before they become a problem.
Bioengineering monitoring and evaluation.
There is more to restoring a natural shoreline than planting some Michigan native plants. It requires engineering that resolves the many issues or concerns that can develop before and during the restoration. Monitoring and evaluating this engineering allows any problems that could develop such as damage from critters, plant loss, or environment changes to be addressed as quickly as possible.
Having the Natural Shoreline Professional at Upstream Waters Landscape monitoring your shoreline restoration project safeguards your investment as we quickly diagnose any problem and put forth solutions to eliminate a possible failure of the bioengineering.
Changes to the surrounding land.
Sometimes there may be a change to the land surrounding your site or property that can start to impact your natural shoreline. For example, the clearing of the property uphill from yours could result in greater run off flowing across your property and into the water. Upstream Waters Landscape can evaluate the changes to your site conditions and develop appropriate solutions to keep your natural shoreline looking and functioning as intended.
Cultivating a positive change in our culture's perception of natural shorelines.
There are many property owners along lakes, streams, and rivers that only know and accept seawalls and grass runways as shoreline solutions. As with all change, there is resistance to the new approaches of native plantings and riprap. It is important that education and communication about the value and benefits of natural shorelines continue. As Natural Shoreline Professionals, we remain your partner after installation to get through any problems or to listen to any concerns that may develop. With our many years of experience, we have solutions ready to alleviate most issues.

Recently, a state appellate court issued a written opinion in a Georgia premises liability case, dismissing the plaintiff's claims against the defendant due to the fact that the plaintiff waited too long to file her case. In deciding the case, the court had to consider whether a clause in the residential lease between the two parties that limited the amount of time the plaintiff had to file a lawsuit against the defendant was enforceable. Ultimately, the court concluded that the clause was enforceable, and thus, the plaintiff's case was time-barred.
The Facts of the Case
The plaintiff slipped and fell after stepping on a curb that crumbled when she stepped on it. The curb was located in a common area in the apartment complex where the plaintiff lived. Approximately two years after she fell, the plaintiff filed a personal injury lawsuit against the defendant corporation that owned and operated the complex.
Prior to moving into her apartment, both the plaintiff and a representative of the defendant signed a residential lease agreement. Contained in that agreement was a clause whereby the plaintiff agreed that any claims against the defendant would be brought within one year. The normal statute of limitations for a personal injury case in Georgia is two years. The defendant argued that the lease agreement was binding and that the plaintiff was required to have brought her case within one year of her injury.

PORT OF SPAIN –– Opposition Senator Gerald Ramdeen yesterday renewed his call for the resignation of Chief Justice Ivor Archie, saying he is responsible for the fiasco in the judiciary following the elevation of Chief Magistrate Marcia Ayers-Caesar to the High Court.
Ramdeen, an attorney, called a news conference at his Woodbrook chambers yesterday, declaring that he was "not hiding behind anything to say that the Chief Justice must go".
He said he had information from a summit of specially selected people convened by Archie last week Wednesday to determine the way forward for 53 matters left unresolved by Ayers-Caesar.
It was attended by three judges of the Court of Appeal, three High Court judges, four magistrates, the Director of Public Prosecutions, the Registrar of the Supreme Court and two members of the Law Association.
A media release from the Judiciary, dated May 25 said during the meeting "consensus was reached" and it was agreed that all 53 part heard matters would be restarted "de novo".
However, according to Ramdeen, Sophia Chote SC, who attended the meeting, has since written to the Law Association stating that when she and others, including the DPP pointed out that matters being heard de novo required the notes of evidence from the earlier hearing, they "were met by loud and lengthy discourse by Browne-Antoine J who disagreed, and went on to say that she wanted to be 'put down' there so she could wrap up the cases. "
Ramdeen said Chote insisted that there was "certainly no decision taken on the matter [to have the cases started de novo] nor were we individually polled for our views".
She added: "We were not asked to view any press release nor were we told that there was going to be a press release. There was certainly no collective decision taken at the meeting."
Chote could not be reached for comment yesterday.
Ramdeen said he wanted to know why the accused in the matters were not given a hearing at the meeting.
Acting Chief Magistrate Maria Busby-Earle Caddle is expected to hear the matters on Thursday.
Ramdeen said he plans to begin proceedings in the High Court to quash the decision of the summit and declare it unlawful, without jurisdiction and null and void.
He said the matter is very serious and requires the intervention of Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley and President Anthony Carmona.
Ramdeen said while Rowley is not responsible for the situation, he should act because he is the leader of the government and President Carmona holds the highest position in the country.
"We must find a way to rescue ourselves from where we are now and somebody has to be held accountable for where we are today," he said.

On Writing, Large Hungry Carnivores, and Creatures That Would Exist in a Perfect World
Sunday, May 27, 2018
"No hope, no fear."
The wise-ass young apprentice Cecco Boneri shares the brazen truth about his life as pupil to the greatest painter in 17th century Rome, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. The brilliant, ill-tempered artist sleeps with both sexes, defies his patrons, assaults his enemies, and practically lives in prison. When not assisting the artist, wily Cecco makes money selling his body to wealthy Romans and corrupt priests. Caravaggio sets Rome ablaze with his defiant paintings, posing Cecco as a cocky Cupid and daring the Vatican's wrath. Meanwhile, Caravaggio's enemies plot revenge against him.
Street kid Cecco is too smart to let Caravaggio fall in love with him. But as years pass, the painter's life spirals brutally out of control into jealousy and murder, and Cecco discovers the searing truth about why he's bound to Caravaggio's unsettled, violent spirit. When their edifice finally crumbles, will there be anyone left to pick up the pieces?

Surely, millions of people all over the world with a sweet tooth would fall for chocolate cupcakes. Both adults and children are fond of buying chocolate cupcakes for their sweet tooth; in fact, chocolate cupcakes can also be considered as comfort food. Interestingly, cupcakes were created to serve one person but people often eat at least three cupcakes in a row especially when it's yummy.
The history of cupcakes began as early as 1796 when it was first mentioned in a book titled American Cookery. Since that time, bakers created different sprinkles on cupcakes to add flavor or improve design. Perhaps it would be better to make your own easy chocolate cupcakes that you can serve to your friends who visit you. The following easy chocolate cupcakes recipe would surely guide you in baking:
* 3/4 cup shortening
* 1 2/3 cups white sugar
* 2 eggs * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
* 1 pinch cayenne pepper
* 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
* 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
* 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 1/2 cups water
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). You can grease two 12 cup muffin pans or just line it with 18 paper baking cups.
2. Using an electric mixer, beat the shortening and sugar in a medium bowl until light and fluffy. One at a time slowly mix the eggs, then stir in vanilla, instant coffee and cayenne pepper. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt; stir into the batter, alternating with the water, just until blended. Pour the batter into the prepared cups, making sure that it is divided evenly.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan set over a wire rack. When cool, you can put some frosting on top then serve on a platter.
The easy chocolate cupcakes recipe surely creates enough servings for a bunch of hungry kids. Just make sure that the cupcakes are cool enough before you take a bite. The special ingredients such as cayenne and coffee granules in this unique but easy to prepare chocolate cupcakes recipe would surely make your friends ask for more.

Stop and Smell the Roses! Inspiring Verses of Love and Longing from Ancient Women Writers
The words of ancient women offer pearls of wisdom and inspiration if we are willing to stop from the busyness of life, smell the roses, and just listen for a moment.
The exquisite beauty and timeless messages these writers share with us have long been a source of inspiration for my work. It fascinates me how they express our common hopes and desires as if they were living among us today. One forgets when or where they lived or what culture they came from.
Teresa of Avila writes, "We bloomed in Spring. Our bodies are the leaves of God." Such a powerful vision! I see a woman dancing, formed by branches, twigs, leaves and seeds. A seed that can become a painting! Avila, a Christian mystic, was expressing her longing for unity with God and all of creation.
And so I've begun a series of paintings inspired by several of these writers, many from different faith traditions. I want to spread the word and share the messages of these kindred spirits. Here are some details of my works in progress!

Who are we?
The Drowning Accident Rescue Team (DART) is a non-profit (501(c)3), all volunteer organization which is funded completely by donations, grants, and fundraiser events.
Our primary mission is to save lives and recover property from the various lakes and waterways in and around Sacramento County. As well as responding to various Northern California jurisdictions. We accomplish this mission through numerous rescue, recovery and prevention activities.
DART is unique in that it was created by divers to perform public safety diving while most other agencies train fire fighters or law enforcement personal how to dive for public safety diving. However most of our members are not divers. Only one fourth of our members actually dive. We need members to perform many other services on an actual call and to help us to always be ready to respond 24/7.
Our volunteers contribute their available time and resources and participate in ongoing training provided by the team and outside rescue agencies.
We have over fifty volunteers coming from all walks of life and have various talents including diving, medical and administrative skills:
- SCUBA Instructors
- Dive Masters
- Open Water Divers
- Swift Water Rescue Instructors
- Paramedics
- Emergency Medical Technicians
- Firefighters
- Police Officers
- Sheriff's Officers
- Salvage Divers
- Engineers
- Lawyers
- Bankers
- Security Guards
- Pharmacists
- Realtors
- Computer Specialists
- Accountants
- Contractors
- Mechanics
- Delivery Personnel
- Laboratory Technicians
- Grocery Clerks
- Mathematicians
- Railroad Engineers
- Retired personnel
- People just like you…
How is DART activated?
DART members are on call 24 hours a day 365 days a year (366 on leap years). If there is a water related accident we are dispatched by Fire Dispatch via a smartphone app that tell us:
- What the nature of the accident is: Vehicle in the river, drowning, boat overturned, etc.
- Whether the call is a rescue or a recovery: Are there suspected victims?
- Have the victims been submerged for more than an hour?
- Where the accident occurred: A physical description is given (county, city, river, marina, cross-streets, etc.).
- A Thomas Brother's map page and grid.

How do the members respond?
If a DART member can respond to a call they select a response option and then go to our dock facility to get a ride in our response rig or they can drive their own vehicle directly to the incident.
What if a member can't respond?
DART members respond when they can. If a member cannot respond because of a work or personal conflict, then they don't have to. If the Team Leader reviews the pages and sees that there are insufficient responders, the Team Leader will re-page the incident and request additional members respond.

WOW! Come on, me hearties it's time to buckle your swash!
Cast your mind back:
It's 1926, and Douglas Fairbanks, then 42 and owner of his own studio, has decided he wants to get away from the more, light-comedy, action roles he's recently been playing and make a full-on, all-action movie.
About pirates!
AND he wants to do it in full color!
This is 4 years after the development of the 2-strip Technicolor process (and 6 years before the introduction of the more famous, 3-strip version). Previous attempts to make full color films (as opposed to tinted films like sepia prints) involved either hand painting EVERY print -- way too expensive for a feature length film -- or a new process which projected black and white film at double frame rate through a rotating color filter wheel to merge alternate colors. The resulting flashing and color fringing caused viewers to become nauseous and suffer severe headaches, leaving color films with a decidedly bad reputation. (Shades of today's 3D stuff)!
The 2-strip Technicolor process eliminated the filter wheel, the flashing, and the color fringing, but there were still questions about whether watching in color would be "too tiring" to viewers. Before committing to the film, Fairbanks commissioned a medical study -- actually published in the professional, medical journal, JAMA -- demonstrating just the opposite.
The next problem was whether color would be too "distracting" to the story. Fairbanks went through a series of tests: How MUCH color could you include before it became garish or distracting?
Then there was the problem of lighting and color matching. The filming required 2 to 3 times the amount of light as normal Black & White of the day. And the only lighting available strong enough for indoor shots was carbon arc lamps -- which have a substantially different "color temperature" from sunlight. So just about everything in the production had to be designed TWICE -- two distinct sets of costumes, actor makeup, props, etc. -- so that indoor and outdoor shots would match!
The 2-strip process produced 2 black and white negatives, one shot through a red-orange filter, the other shot through a blue-green filter. When developed, dyed, and combined the result was a color palette which excluded yellows. So the entire production design had to be planned around lack of yellow (which makes flesh tones a neat trick!).
Having figured out how to do all that, the production details were still daunting. The Technicolor camera was hand cranked at 48 frames per second (very tiring for the operator). There were only 7 such cameras in the first place -- Fairbanks secured 4 of those. For most shots, 3 were just held available as spares. But for the climactic, final rescue scene at sea he had all 4 of them cranking, and even brought in a 5th!
Each camera had lashed to it ANOTHER camera shooting regular black and white through the same length lens, which would serve dual duty as the protection negative and as the master negative for production of black and white prints for foreign release. (In those days, the practice was to send a "foreign negative" overseas and have prints made there, sometimes varying from the US release as the editing choices were different in the foreign negative, as, of course, were the dialog title cards.)
Even developing was a chore. Technicolor up until very recently had required negatives be shipped to them in Boston for developing -- something which would never work in a feature film's production schedule. But they had just opened a new processing operation in Hollywood, and this would be its big test.
Producing a print involved developing and separately dyeing the two film strips and then cementing them back to back (film emulsion out) to produce a single projection positive. More on the consequences of that later.
Fairbanks also decided that he would commission a new orchestral score just for the picture. The composer (Mortimer Wilson) actually got to work on the score WHILE the film was being made -- unusual for the time -- so the visuals and music could be better coordinated.
This Kino disc includes a 1996 performance of that original score, conducted by Robert Israel, presented in an uncompressed Stereo LPCM track which sounds just wonderful. The disc also includes an alternate, organ score (in a lossy track) as an example of what many theater audiences would have heard in venues which could not afford the musical ensemble necessary to present the orchestral original.
As for the story itself, it doesn't appear Fairbanks really gave too much thought to plot or story line. His main requirement was for something which would tie together his intended series of action sequences. Even in critical reviews of the time the story line was recognized as thin, but who cared? The action was marvelous. And it was in color!
The release of the film was a sensation. It was also a major headache for Technicolor. First of all, the two positives cemented together were not precisely on the same plane, which meant there was some inherent resolution loss. Second, having the emulsion facing out on both sides meant the film "cupped" under the heat of the projection lamp. And the direction of cupping would tend to reverse as the film was played -- resulting in jarring shifts which audiences complained about. Third, untrained projectionists had no clue how to handle the double-thick film properly. They were frequently tearing and scratching it. Technicolor was kept constantly busy recalling cupped and damaged prints for replacement. And the process of making the prints in the first place was so time consuming they simply couldn't make them fast enough. Which meant many theaters had to make do with Black & White prints. Which STILL packed the theaters. (Heck the action looked just as good, even in Black & White!)
Finally as time went on, the instabilities in the color dyes, and the degradation of the cement used, basically meant the color prints became unwatchable. All too soon, ONLY Black & White prints were available.
Later on, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., re-released his father's film as a "talkie"; the idea being to get his father's work in front of newer audiences. He edited out the title cards and added a narration in their place. By that time he only had Black & White to work with. This Kino disc includes his talkie re-release as an "Extra", which means you also get to see what the Black & White prints were like. ALSO a nifty transfer, by the way.
The restoration work for this film, begun back in 1970, is based on original camera negatives, which were preserved in museum conditions in England. Since modern prints (and of course Blu-ray) don't have to deal with two layers of film cemented together, the version available on this disc is, in all likelihood, SHARPER than the original Theatrical presentation.
It is also remarkably clean for its age. The restorers did an excellent job handling negative shrinkage, and matching the original color palette within modern film technology. In the very few cases where damage was too extensive, they resorted to cutting in very brief scenes from the Black & White version.
The weaknesses of the original are still evident of course. Flesh tones look kind of sun-burnt. Night scenes have very limited dynamic range. And there is none of the gorgeous color gamut of the 3-strip Technicolor process yet to come. But even given all that, it just looks great! The PQ on this disc is entirely up to the task, with no technical problems whatsoever.
As mentioned above the default musical track is an uncompressed, modern, Stereo recording of the original, orchestral score; and the AQ is really VERY good. If you've never watched a Silent Film presented with a proper orchestral score, by all means watch this one. You'll be astounded how much the score adds to the enjoyment of the film. Keep in mind, in the original Theatrical presentations, this music was being performed live for every showing.
From a story point of view, this film is kind of like the Cirque du Soleil of its day: Not much more than a basic framework of a story line allowing Fairbanks to link together fabulous set pieces of action. As for the stunts and "special effects", keep in mind this is 1926 and they are still inventing all this stuff! Even things we take for granted as filming basics today were not nearly so simple back then. For example, dissolves had to be done "in camera" because there was no such thing as optical printers. Given all that, the action sequences are even more amazing.
Indeed, some of the shots puzzle professionals, even today, as to just how he did it! (This is the film which includes the iconic shot of Fairbanks sliding down a ship's sail -- slicing it with his sword as the only thing to control his descent.)
There were no Oscars for this film of course. It wouldn't be until the following year, 1927, that Douglas Fairbanks co-founded the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and became its first President.
Kino has produced yet another outstanding Blu-ray disc, presenting what I believe remains the oldest, full color, feature-length film available on Blu-ray.
The extras on this disc are also top notch. In addition to the "talkie", Black & White version of the film mentioned above, there is an outstanding Commentary track by Rudy Behlmer for the main feature, and a selection of deleted scenes also narrated by him -- and even slowed down (or reversed for "reverse-filmed action" shots) so you can get a better look at Fairbanks making this stuff look easy. There's an additional collection of un-narrated outtakes for those who still want more. There's also a still photo gallery presented in HD. All nifty stuff.
AVAILABILITY NOTE: This Kino disc is no longer in print. Used, and even new copies can still be purchased at a premium, however. And various disc rental outfits also stock it.
Very impressive, in every respect. Highly recommended!

Surely by now we all know that Google has finally released its Maps application for iOS. So far this application is available for iPhone, but it's just a matter of time to appear adapted to the iPad screen and will also be compatible with the iPad Mini.
The first criticism he is receiving the application are really good. It seems that Google has done very well the duties and the new application is really enjoying the users who have already tried. The application includes features like Google Street View, traffic information, information on public transport and even the function of voice-guided navigation, something very interesting for many users.
Google believes that the Google Maps app for iOS is better than Android version
David Pogue, a New York Times columnist who has very good relationship with large companies like Google and apparently has some more information on the application.
After contacting Google, Pogue wrote that Google consider this new application is much better than Android includes its own operating system for smartphones and tablets. Definitely curious result that the creator of the application for competitive devices say something, but it shows how proud they are of creation.
In addition, Google also admits that they are working on a version for iPad will come at some point, although not yet confirmed any specific date.
The new Google Maps application for iPhene has a very clean interface, navigation is quick maps (vector-based) and everything loads quite quickly. It also has interesting features that were not present in the application that Apple included to iOS 5, for example, guided navigation.
Unfortunately, Google Maps is a third party application, so it is not a total solution. You can not use the app using Siri and if we click on a link in the calendar or address on the Internet, run the iOS mapping application from Apple instead of the new Google Maps, a real shame, but Google seems to want to minimize this opening an API for iOS application developers can use Google Maps when needed.
Undoubtedly, the arrival of Google Maps for iOS, or rather his return is good news. This will surely react to Apple and see how intensified development work of their maps to try to compete with Google maps. At least this would be the most logical.
