1) Why should I choose a White Lady funeral director?
White Lady Funerals, an Australian funeral services provider, has been operating since 1987. We offer a unique and distinctive quality of funeral service provided by our committed and professional team of women.
We take pride in our reputation of providing a superior quality of service to each and every family, leaving all the families we help with a lasting tribute to their loved ones. We understand how difficult it is to lose someone close and the importance of honouring their life.
Our softer, more specialised approach to funeral services provides a place where families can be cared and supported in a comfortable and nurturing environment by dedicated staff.
We are also committed to upholding the highest ethical and professional standards by providing an unprecedented level of service to our clients.
2) What is the first thing I need to do when a death occurs?
First, settle yourself from the emotions that can arise at a time like this, then call someone to let them know that you are alright.
After this, you should call your loved one's doctor. If the death occurs in a hospital or nursing home, then staff there will usually do this for you. However, if it was the deceased's wish to donate their organs then a hospital should also be advised as soon as possible.
Once the doctor has been, you will need to contact a funeral home like White Lady Funerals on 1300 656 550 to arrange the transfer of the deceased into our care. This can be delayed for a little while if you would like some private time. You shouldn't worry about what time you call, because we are available 24 hours, 7 days a week.
3) What happens when someone dies in a hospital or nursing home?
If death occurs at a public hospital, the hospital administration will complete most of the formalities required for the issuing of Death and other Certificates. However it will be up to the family to contact a funeral home like White Lady Funerals directly.
As most public hospitals have a mortuary we usually move the deceased from the hospital into our care during weekday business hours.
If death occurs at a nursing home or private hospital and you are not already there then the staff will usually contact the next of kin once death has been confirmed.
It is common at some private hospitals and nursing homes for a funeral home, such as White Lady Funerals, to be nominated in advance and contacted upon the event of death. In these circumstances, the hospital or nursing home will contact the nominated funeral home to arrange the transfer of the deceased into our care.
4) Who should I notify after a death has occurred?
Of course there are always the family and friends of the deceased to notify. It can help to have a trusted family member or friend act as the point of contact for all these people.
But there are others who also need to know, though not necessarily straight away. This list might be of help in taking care of this important detail.
- The Executor nominated by the deceased
- Centrelink
- Department of Veteran's Affairs
- Superannuation companies
- Solicitor and/or public trustee
- Accountant
- Banks, building societies, credit unions, financial institutions, credit card providers, loan companies and digital monetary accounts such as eBay and PayPal
- Employer/former employer
- Trade unions or professional associations
- Australian Tax Office, Australian Electoral Office, Medicare
- Insurance companies including life, accident, home and contents, vehicle
- Friendly societies
- Doctor, dentist, specialists, hospitals, chemist, health benefits fund
- Main roads - car registration
- Clubs, organisations and associations
- Church or religious organisation
- Household help, gardening services or Meals on Wheels
- Home nursing service
- Home delivery services - e.g. newspapers and milk
- Home appliance rental, medical aids rental company
- Post Office for mail delivery
- Local Government for rates, fire levy, etc.
- Ambulance service
- Telephone company, electricity company
- School or college
- Companies - e.g. for directorships
- Chamber of Commerce
- Service organisations - e.g. Rotary, Lions, Apex, Zonta, Red Cross
- Blood bank
- Social media and e-mail accounts, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Gmail
5) How do I get a Death Certificate?
These are issued by the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages in your state. Usually a funeral director such as your White Lady is responsible for registering the death with this Registry within 7 days of the burial or cremation.
Once the death is registered, Births, Deaths and Marriages will provide a formal Death Certificate, which is often a necessary document for any legal and estate issues that need to be attended to.
Applications for a copy of a Death Certificate can only be made at the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages and must be accompanied by at least three forms of identification to ensure your privacy and that information is only released to those who are entitled to it.
6) What happens if death occurs away from home or burial needs to happen in a different state or country?
White Lady Funerals have links with some of Australia's and the world's largest funeral companies. This means we can help you regardless of whether you would like to bring a deceased home to Australia or send a deceased back to their country of origin.
We facilitate this by liaising with various Australian Government Departments and the Consulate General of the other country. All of this is will be administered by your White Lady, who will convey all necessary documentation to the Governments concerned.
7) When is a coroner needed?
In some cases, a doctor may not be able to issue a medical certificate of the cause of death and they will refer the death to the coroner. Because determining the cause of death is absolutely vital, you do not have the right to object to a death being referred to the coroner. However if you have religious or other strong objections to a post mortem, you should notify the coroner.
There may be a number of reasons for referring a death to the coroner, including:
- Death other than by natural causes, including violence, accidental or unusual causes
- Death whilst under anaesthetic (or within 24 hours of the administration of an anaesthetics)
- Unexpected death
- Death of a person in an institution, a prison or in police custody, drug or alcohol rehabilitation centre
- When the cause of death is unknown, or
- When the deceased had diagnosed dementia.
Either coronal staff or an appointed White Lady Funeral Director can transfer the deceased to the coroner.
8) Who is responsible for arranging a funeral?
It is most common for the executor named in the will, or for family members or friends to arrange a funeral in conjunction with a funeral director. In some circumstances the funeral will be arranged by a public trustee.
While not essential, many people prefer to use a funeral director to relieve them from the burden of many decisions that have to be made at such a difficult time.
Funeral directors are trained, experienced professionals who assist families from the moment a death occurs until well after services are completed.
Our special ladies ensure that you have all the help, information and support you need to say your final farewells in your own way. They will work closely with you to guide you through the arrangement process to arrange a service that is both personal and meaningful.
9) How much choice does the family have in funeral arrangements?
The family has absolute choice in all of the funeral arrangements. There are only a few rare exceptions (eg in the case of coronial investigation in some cases where permission may be given for a funeral by burial only).
If you choose to have one of our White Lady funeral directors help you to organise the funeral arrangements, you can be assured that they will help you with every choice and request that you and your family make.
White Lady Funerals commit ourselves to meeting your needs, whatever they may be. We understand each family's needs are different so we provide a distinctive way of creating a service of remembrance that is as unique as the individual.
10) How long between death and the committal service?
The length of time between death and the committal service can vary depending on your instructions and the circumstances of the death.
Importantly, it will take as long as you need. There is no need to feel rushed.
11) What is embalming and when is it needed?
Embalming is carried out by a qualified embalmer and is a chemical treatment of a body which disinfects and preserves it. Embalming may be needed when:
- There is a longer than average delay between death and the funeral
- The deceased needs to be transferred overseas or interstate
- The deceased's wishes call for an above ground burial in a crypt or vault, or
- To improve the appearance of the deceased for a viewing.
If you have any questions about embalming or other mortuary practices, please raise them with your White Lady. We are always willing to discuss these matters with you.
12) Should we have a viewing?
Viewing the deceased is a very personal decision and it is entirely up to you.
In our experience it has many benefits as it not only helps the bereaved to face the reality of death but it also allows for quiet times of reflection and good-byes.
Most viewings are held at our funeral homes with our caring, supportive staff available to offer you their support.
13) What is an Executor?
An Executor is a person named in a Will or appointed by a court to finalise a deceased person's financial affairs.
The Executor takes care of all the property, paying any bills and taxes, and seeing to it that assets are transferred to their new, rightful owners. If probate court proceedings are required, the Executor must handle them or hire a lawyer to do it.
When someone passes away the Executor should be notified as soon as possible. It is advisable that an Executor get professional advice or assistance, if only to determine their rights and responsibilities in the matter.
If a Will cannot be located, the role of the Executor usually rests with the next-of-kin, who should seek professional advice before attempting to finalise matters.
The Executor Assist Helpline, available on 1800 623 530, may be of assistance. It is an obligation free 24 hour, 7 day service.
14) What is the difference between a coffin and a casket?
In Australia we usually associate the word coffin to mean a container for the deceased that is similar in body shape to human dimensions; that is, it is broader at the shoulders and narrower at the feet. Coffins normally have a removable lid and are made of wood.
The word casket usually describes a rectangular container with a hinged lid. Caskets may be made from wood or metal.
15) What is a vault?
A vault is a specially constructed structure that houses caskets. The intent behind their design is to protect the casket from the weight of the earth, as well as the equipment used by cemetery staff to dig adjacent graves.
Vaults vary in design, finish and protective features. They are often personalised with a name plate and religious or symbolic insignia.
16) Which is more popular - burial or cremation?
An individual's choice to either have a burial or cremation is often based on many personal reasons including family traditions and/or family beliefs.
In certain cultures cremation is not a popular option (or may be prohibited by religious belief). In other cultures the opposite may occur with cremation being the custom, for example, in the Hindu tradition.
There are pros and cons on both sides regarding the decision to bury or to cremate, however more and more people are opting to have a cremation rather than a burial, particularly in the land poor, city areas.
Ultimately, this decision is a matter of personal choice which your White Lady will support.
17) What is a prepaid funeral?
Many families choose to discuss their choices for the type and style of a funeral and record their preferences in advance with their funeral director. When the next step is taken, and a future funeral service is paid for in advance it becomes a prepaid funeral.
Doing this gives you the chance to personalise the service the way you would like it and make it a celebration of your life. It can also be a way to get your loved ones involved in creating a positive and meaningful experience as well as reducing the burden of organising your funeral during a difficult time.
Your White Lady funeral director can assist with all your preplanning requirements.
18) What are the benefits of prepaying a funeral?
There are many advantages when you take care of your final arrangements in advance.
The most obvious benefit is financial as by paying now members of your family will not need to raise the cost of a funeral at an already difficult time. There are a number of emotional benefits, too.
When you make arrangements in advance you are able to make informed choices about what type of service you would like. This not only gives you peace of mind knowing you will have the service you want, but it also reduces the burden on your family or friends at an already difficult time. You also can rest assured knowing that your our special woman's understanding will be there to support your family during their grief.
19) What happens to the money I pay?
Funds given towards a prepaid funeral to be conducted by White Lady Funerals are invested into an independent trust: The Over 50's Guardian Friendly Society Limited (Society).
The Society bears any investment risk and ensures the selected services will be provided at the time of need according to the wishes you set out in the contract. The Society complies with all state and federal laws, such as the Funeral Funds Act.
With White Lady Funerals, you can relax with the peace of mind of knowing that everything will be taken care of.
20) Can I pay for a prepaid funeral in instalments?
You will have the opportunity to choose whether to pay in full or to pay by regular monthly instalments.
It may suit you better to pay for your White Lady funeral by making regular instalments. If you elect do it this way, an initial contribution up front will be required. This will be followed up by monthly instalments over a period to suit you and can be for up to 36 months.
Once all instalments have been received on time, the agreed White Lady funeral service is fixed forever and no further costs will be incurred.
If death occurs before the prepaid funeral has been paid in full, then provided your payments are up-to-date, White Lady may on request put all instalments towards the agreed cost of the actual funeral.
If there is a shortfall between the contributions and the price of the funeral then it will be payable at that time.
21) What does a prepaid funeral plan include?
A prepaid plan provides for many options including:
- Professional guidance, information and ideas about what is important to you and assistance with any final details, such as newspaper notices and order of flowers.
- Transfer of the deceased during business hours into the care of your nominated funeral home, within a maximum radius of 70 kilometres.
- Mortuary care for the deceased prior to the funeral, including preparation for viewings.
- Provision of coffin or casket.
- Attendance of experienced funeral director at the funeral ceremony, viewings, crematorium or graveside.
- All necessary documentation for your burial or cremation.
- Provision of hearse and other vehicles.
- Cremation arrangements.
- Cemetery fees.
- Press notices.
- Floral tributes.
- Clergy fees.
- Travel Protection Plan can be included for when you are temporarily away from home.
These are only some of the options available to you, and we encourage you to discuss these with one of our White Lady funeral directors.
22) Can I redeem a prepaid funeral for money?
No. You cannot withdraw from a prepaid funeral plan, nor can it be used in any way other than to pay for funeral expenses.
However, if you have a prepaid funeral to be conducted by White Lady Funerals and you change your mind, you are entitled to cancel the plan within 30 days, or such other period as required by legislation, from the date of receipt of a confirmation letter from the Society the money is being held in.
After this cooling off period you cannot cancel or reduce the services written in the plan.
23) What happens if death occurs interstate or overseas?
For when you are temporarily away from home you can purchase a Travel Protection Plan as an addition to your White Lady Funerals Prepaid Funeral Plan. This covers the costs of transporting a deceased person back to their nominated White Lady funeral home.
If you do not have Travel Protection Plan, you should contact your White Lady funeral director immediately and they will be able to arrange for the transport of the deceased, and attend to any statutory or customs requirements. In these circumstances there is usually an additional cost for transportation.
24) What if I move interstate?
If you move interstate you can rearrange your prepaid funeral plan accordingly.
Your White Lady funeral director will be able to assist you to transfer your plan to another White Lady funeral director in the area, or recommend another funeral home for you to transfer it to.
However, prices cannot necessarily be guaranteed on a transfer, as there are price differences between states.
Please note that the funds are required to stay in the secure investment you have arranged and can be accessed by the new funeral director at the time of the funeral.
25) How much will a funeral cost?
The cost of a funeral can vary, depending on a lot of things such as:
- Whether a burial or cremation is preferred
- The type of funeral services required (whether there will be a memorial service after the funeral, whether the funeral is large or small)
- Type of coffin or casket
- The cost of a grave or urn, and
- Fee paid to other professional for services provide as arranged by our funeral directors such as opening and closing the grave, paid newspaper notices, honorarium for clergy etc.
At White Lady Funerals we offer a range of funerals to cover all requirements, depending on your wishes.
Our special ladies will discuss options and costs with you during the arrangement meeting.

Tips for your camping trip
Are you new in camping? If yes, it might not be easy spending time in the dark amongst nature after having spent all your life in luxury and comforts of civilization. It is, however, nothing to be afraid of, especially if you have the right knowledge on camping. Below are tips that will enable you to make fantastic camping memories, not horror stories of how hundreds of bugs bit you. Read on.
Camping tips
- What happens if you did not carry a grill? A rake can be used for more than one use in such a situation. Use it to cook all your hot dogs.
- You do not have to carry lunch boxes, they are heavy and occupy more space, instead, wrap all your foods in foil. If packaged correctly a foil makes food stay fresh longer.
- What do we use for a fire starter? It is simple, dip cotton pads in wax.
- To avoid losing your keys especially in boating activities, attach them to a cork.
- Pre-made pancakes will help. Make pancake batter the day before the camping day. Store enough batter a single pancake and freeze them.
- Use rosemary in place of marinade, how is this done? Place the rosemary above the charcoal and beneath the meat.
- Did you carry your valuables along? Make a deep hole in your soap and fit them inside. This is how boy scouts do it; it might work for you as well.
- You do not need to carry speakers, place your phone in a mug; it will produce the sound of a speaker. For the best results, use a ceramic cup.
- You will meet mosquitoes out there, deal with them best with a natural repellent. Do not waste money buying repellents. Source a natural herb that keeps mosquitoes away and you will be fully protected from mosquito bites. The herb chases away mosquitoes when it comes in contact with fire.
- You cannot do without spices? Well, your food does not need to be dull because you are out camping. Use a Tic Tac container to carry all the spices you want.
- Are you camping in a cold campsite? Here is a trick, sleep on the clothes you are planning to wear the following morning. It is a great way of warming your clothes. It is a trick used by winter campers, and it works just amazing. The tips above and much more make your first time camping experience memorable. You will be looking forward to the next camping day if you properly utilize them.

Metallurgy Classic Machines Mod adds two machines, 29 metals and five chests. The idea is to greatly enhance the mining experience in Minecraft and make it possible to build machines which can transform previous tedious tasks (such as gaining experience) into more easily reached goals. As of now none of the metals can be mined but this is likely to change in a later update.
Before getting started please understand that accessing the creative inventory might cause the game to crash. That's why we recommend you use it in survival mode. All of the items will be automatically put in your survival inventory after entering a world. There are still things to be improved and bugs to be fixed, so please keep this in mind while using the mod.
The abstractor machine is fueled by coal. Tap on an abstractor machine with some coal to fill it up.
Tap on the machine with an ingot to convert it into experience. The experience can be used for enchanting and repairing items.
Before being able to use the crusher machine you need to make sure it's filled up with some coal.
Tap on the crusher with ingots to get dust back. The dust can't be used for anything as of now but in the future it's likely they will be used for crafting alloys. Alloys are the mixture to two metals and they can be used for crafting tools, armor, weapons and bricks.
Metallurgy adds four new chests. Each new chest offer a significant amount of extra slots compared to the ordinary chest in Minecraft.
Here's a list of all the chests:
(Chests are based on the BetterStorage API by DAW330073.)
In a future update it will be possible to mine ores and smelt the ores to get the ingots. For now you have to use Toolbox or the SimpleCommands mod to get the items.

|Judgments -
Shogun Finance Limited (Respondents) v Hudson (FC) Appellant
147. All three members of the court adopted the approach of identifying the intention of Miss Ingram. The difference between them was as to the manner of application of that approach where an agreement was negotiated face to face. The majority considered that a sensible answer could be given to the question 'with whom did Miss Ingram intend to contract?' as a question of fact. Devlin LJ considered that this question could only be answered by the application of a legal presumption, which would not be rebutted where the only reason for interest in the identity of the contracting party was concern that the contracting party should be creditworthy.
148. Ten years later a case of very similar facts was before the Court of Appeal. In Lewis v Averay [1972] 1 QB 198 the plaintiff advertised his car for sale in a newspaper. A rogue telephoned and asked to see it. He arrived and told the plaintiff and his fiancée that he was Richard Green and led them to believe that he was a well-known film actor of that name, who was playing the role of Robin Hood in a television series. A sale was agreed and the rogue wrote out a cheque for the purchase price. The plaintiff demurred at letting the rogue take the car before his cheque was cleared, whereupon the rogue produced a pass of admission to Pinewood Studios, with an official stamp on it, the name Richard A Green and the rogue's photograph. On sight of this, the plaintiff permitted the rogue to take the car and the documents that related to it. The cheque bounced and the rogue sold the car to the defendant, pretending at this point that he had the plaintiff's name. The Court of Appeal held that a valid contract had been concluded between the plaintiff and the rogue and that good title had passed to the defendant.
149. Giving the leading judgment, Lord Denning MR commented that it was impossible to distinguish between Phillips v Brooks and Ingram v Little on the facts. He held that Phillips v Brooks was to be preferred. He said, at p.207:
150. Phillimore LJ agreed, though in a manner which paid due respect to the doctrine of precedent. He referred to the fact that Ingram v Little was a case of 'very special and unusual facts' and held that there was nothing that could displace the prima facie presumption that the plaintiff was dealing with the rogue. The case was on all fours with Phillips v Brooks, which had been good law for fifty years.
151. Megaw LJ concurred, observing that he found it difficult to understand the basis, either in logic or in practical considerations, of the test laid down in Ingram v Little.
152. Lord Denning MR did not apply the approach of attempting to identify the intention of the plaintiff. He proceeded on the simple basis that, to all outward appearances, the plaintiff entered into an agreement with the rogue, with whom he was dealing. Both he and Phillimore LJ considered that the case was on all fours with Phillips v Brooks, which had been rightly decided.
153. The difficulty in applying a test of intention to the identification of the parties to a contract arises, so it seems to me, only where the parties conduct their dealings in some form of inter-personal contact, and where one purports to have the identity of a third party. There the innocent party will have in mind, when considering with whom he is contracting, both the person with whom he is in contact and the third party whom he imagines that person to be.
154. The same problem will not normally arise where the dealings are carried out exclusively in writing. The process of construction of the written instruments, making appropriate use of extrinsic evidence, will normally enable the court to reach a firm conclusion as to the person with whom a party intends to contract. This was the position in Boulton v Jones, Cundy v Lindsay and King's Norton Metal Company v Edridge, Merrett & Company Ltd. There is a substantial body of authority that demonstrates that the identity of a party to a contract in writing falls to be determined by a process of construction of the putative contract itself. I shall refer to some examples.
155. In Young v Schuler (1883) 11 QBD 651 the issue was whether Schuler had signed an agreement simply under a power of attorney on behalf of one of the named parties or, additionally, on his own behalf as a guarantor. As to this, Sir William Brett MR observed at pp.654 - 655:
Cotton LJ gave a judgment to like effect and Bowen LJ agreed.
156. In Newborne v Sensolid (Great Britain) Ltd [1954] 1 QB 45 an apparent contract in writing provided for the sale of goods by a company described as Leopold Newborne (London) Ltd. The document was subscribed by the name of the company with Mr Leopold Newborne's signature under it. At the time in question Leopold Newborne (London) Ltd did not exist, for it had not then been incorporated. Mr Newborne attempted to enforce the contract as one to which he was party. He failed on the ground that this was inconsistent with the description of the party in the contract. Lord Goddard CJ observed at p.51:
157. Morris LJ agreed, observing that the contract purported to be a contract with the company and that it was not relevant that, as was the case, it was a matter of indifference to the purchasers whether they contracted with the company, or with Mr Newborne personally.
158. Where contracts were subject to the Statute of Frauds the required memorandum in writing had to identify the parties to the contract and a person could not intervene to claim that he was the true party to the contract when this was not consistent with the terms of the memorandum: Lovesy v Palmer [1916] 2 Ch 233; Basma v Weekes [1950] AC 441.
159. In the field of agency, an undisclosed principal will not be permitted to claim to be party to a contract if this is contrary to the terms of the contract itself. Thus the provision in the standard form B contract of the London Metal Exchange "this contract is made between ourselves and yourselves as principals, we alone being liable to you for its performance" is effective to preclude any contention that the parties named in the contract are contracting as agents for others - JH Rayner Ltd v Dept of Trade [1990] 2 AC 418 at p. 516.
160. In the field of shipping law a question sometimes arises as to who is the party to a contract of carriage and this is determined as a question of construction - see Homburg Houtimport BV v Agrosin Ltd [2003] UKHL 12; [2003] 2 WLR 711 and Internaut Shipping GMBH v Fercometal SARL [2003] EWCA Civ 812 for recent examples.
161. The effect of these authorities is that a person carrying on negotiations in writing can, by describing as one of the parties to the putative agreement an individual who is unequivocally identifiable from that description, preclude any finding that the party to the putative agreement is other than the person so described. The process of construction will lead inexorably to the conclusion that the person with whom the other party intended to contract was the person thus described.
162. That the identification of the parties to a written contract involves construing the contract was the basis of the decision in Hector v Lyons (1988) 58 P & CR 156. The majority of the Court of Appeal in the present case considered that this decision weighed conclusively in favour of Shogun. Hector v Lyons involved a claim for specific performance of a contract to buy a house. The appellant rejoiced in the name Martin Aloysius Handel Hector. He had a son, aged less than 18, more modestly christened Martin Aloysius Hector. The father negotiated the purchase of the house face-to-face with the Respondent, who at all times understood that she was contracting with the father. The father instructed solicitors to draw up the formal contract for exchange. For reasons not apparent he led them to understand that the purchaser was to be his son, and they described the purchaser in the contract as 'Martin Aloysius Hector', understanding that they were thereby identifying the son. The father signed the purchaser's copy of the contract with a signature that differed from his normal signature. What was behind all of this is not clear to me nor was it, I suspect, to the trial judge, who found that the father gave a lot of false evidence.
163. The father sought to enforce the contract on the footing that he was the purchaser. The respondent argued that he was not a party to the written contract; the purchaser under that contract was the son. The trial judge found in her favour. The basis upon which he did so was that the solicitors handed over the purchaser's part of the contract as being the document of the son and the signature that it bore purported to be that of the son.
164. In the Court of Appeal counsel for the appellant argued that the contract had been concluded between the appellant and the respondent, relying on the line of cases ending with Lewis v Averay. The Vice-Chancellor dismissed this argument at pp.158-9:
165. In concurring with the Vice-Chancellor, Woolf LJ said this:
166. Given the premise that, as a matter of construction, the purchaser described in the contract was the son, the conclusion of the Court of Appeal is readily understandable. I do, however, have difficulty in understanding the basis on which the trial judge concluded that the purchaser described in the contract was the son rather than the father. The father had carried out the negotiations, he had signed the agreement, albeit not with his customary signature, and he bore the forenames and the surname of the purchaser, as described in the contract. The trial judge's finding does not, however, appear to have been challenged in the Court of Appeal. While the facts of this decision are not easy to follow, it supports the proposition that the identity of the parties to a contract in writing fall to be determined by a process of construction of the contract.
The result in the present case
167. I have had the advantage of reading in draft the opinions of my noble and learned friends who have sat with me on this appeal. Lord Hobhouse of Woodborough and Lord Walker of Gestingthorpe have concluded that, as the contract was a written document, the identity of the hirer falls to be ascertained by construing that document. Adopting that approach, the hirer was, or more accurately purported to be, Mr Patel. As he had not authorised the conclusion of the contract, it was void.
168. Lord Nicholls of Birkenhead and Lord Millett have adopted a different approach. They point out the illogicality of applying a special approach to face-to-face dealings. What of dealings on the telephone, or by videolink? There also it could be said that each of the parties to the dealings is seeking to make a contract with the other party to the dealings. And this can even be said when the dealings are conducted by correspondence. If A writes to B making an offer and B writes back responding to that offer, B is intending to contract with the person who made that offer. If a contract is concluded in face-to-face dealings, notwithstanding that one party is masquerading as a third party, why should the result be different when the dealings are by letter?
169. Lord Nicholls of Birkenhead and Lord Millett propose an elegant solution to this illogicality. Where two individuals deal with each other, by whatever medium, and agree terms of a contract, then a contract will be concluded between them, notwithstanding that one has deceived the other into thinking that he has the identity of a third party. In such a situation the contract will be voidable but not void. While they accept that this approach cannot be reconciled with Cundy v Lindsay, they conclude that Cundy v Lindsay was wrongly decided and should no longer be followed.
170. While I was strongly attracted to this solution, I have found myself unable to adopt it. Cundy v Lindsay exemplifies the application by English law of the same approach to identifying the parties as is applied to identifying the terms of the contract. In essence this focuses on deducing the intention of the parties from their words and conduct. Where there is some form of personal contact between individuals who are conducting negotiations, this approach gives rise to problems. In such a situation I would favour the application of a strong presumption that each intends to contract with the other, with whom he is dealing. Where, however, the dealings are exclusively conducted in writing, there is no scope or need for such a presumption. This can be illustrated by a slight adaption of the facts of the present case. Assume that the rogue had himself filled in the application form and sent it and a photocopy of Mr Patel's driving licence to Shogun. Assume further that he had been authorised to do so by Mr Patel. There can be no doubt that a contract would have been concluded between Shogun and Mr Patel. Mr Patel would have intended to contract with Shogun; Shogun would have intended to contract with Mr Patel; and this would have been demonstrated by the application form.
171. Assume now that the rogue had wrongly understood that he had been requested by Mr Patel to fill in and submit the application form on his behalf, but in fact had no authority to do so. In this situation, according to established principles of the law of agency, an apparent contract would have been concluded between Shogun and Mr Patel but, being concluded without the latter's authority, it would be a nullity. Shogun might have a claim against the rogue for breach of warranty of authority, but could not have demonstrated that a contract had been concluded with the rogue.
172. Turning to the true position - that the rogue knew he had no authority to conclude a contract in the name of Mr Patel, but fraudulently wished to induce Shogun to believe that they were entering into such a contract - I do not see by what legal principle this change in the mental attitude of the rogue could result in a binding contract being concluded with him.
173. The position is not, of course, as simple as that. Negotiations between the rogue and Shogun were not conducted exclusively by written correspondence. They were conducted with the aid of the dealer and the use of fax and telephone communications. Acceptance of the offer was conveyed by telephone via the dealer - and this might have been capable of concluding a contract, notwithstanding that Clause 1 of the standard terms provided for acceptance by signature - see the discussion in Chitty on Contracts 28th Ed. Vol 1 at paragraph 2-062. Sedley LJ considered that the dealings were analogous to face-to-face dealings and that the dealer was, in effect, the face of Shogun Finance Ltd. He considered that the face-to-face presumption should be applied.
174. The majority of the Court of Appeal considered that Hector v Lyons required them to determine the identity of the parties to the putative contract as a simple question of construction. On that basis they concluded that the putative hirer was Mr Patel and that, as the apparent contract was concluded without his authority, it was a nullity.
175. Dyson LJ considered what the result would have been had the negotiations been treated as face-to-face. He concluded that the presumption would have been displaced by the importance that Shogun attached to the identity of the person with whom they were contracting.
176. My Lords, I started this opinion by quoting Gresson P's remark that the difficulty in a case such as this is a proper assessment of the facts rather than an assessment of the law. I have not found the assessment of the law easy, but nor is the application of the law to the facts. Shogun's representatives were aware of the presence of the prospective hirer in the dealer's showrooms in Leicester. To an extent the dealings were inter-personal through the medium of the dealer. Should one treat them as comparable to face-to-face dealings and conclude that there was a presumption that Shogun intended to contract with the man with whom they were dealing? Should one treat the written agreement as no more than peripheral to the dealings and conclude that it does not override that presumption? I have concluded that the answer to these questions is 'no'.
177. Shogun had, on the evidence, set up a formal system under which contracts would be concluded in writing on a standard form. This form was designed to cater for both regulated and non-regulated hire purchase agreements. In order to be suitable for the former it had to comply with the requirements of the Consumer Credit (Agreements) Regulations 1983. Schedule 1 to these regulations, under the heading 'Parties to the agreement', requires the agreement to set out 'The name and a postal address of the creditor' and 'The name and a postal address of the debtor'. The agreement with which this appeal is concerned was not a regulated agreement, for the purchase price of the vehicle exceeded what was, at the time, the maximum to which the relevant provisions of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 applied. I do not see, however, that the approach to the identification of the parties to the putative agreement can turn on whether or not the agreement was subject to the regulations. Shogun put in place a system for concluding contracts that required both regulated and unregulated agreements to be entered into in writing in a form which provided essential information, including the identity of the parties to the agreement.
178. These considerations lead me to conclude that the correct approach in the present case is to treat the agreement as one concluded in writing and to approach the identification of the parties to that agreement as turning upon its construction. The particulars given in the agreement are only capable of applying to Mr Patel. It was the intention of the rogue that they should identify Mr Patel as the hirer. The hirer was so identified by Shogun. Before deciding to enter into the agreement they checked that Mr Patel existed and that he was worthy of credit. On that basis they decided to contract with him and with no-one else. Mr Patel was the hirer under the agreement. As the agreement was concluded without his authority, it was a nullity. The rogue took no title under it and was in no position to convey any title to Mr Hudson.
179. For these reasons I would dismiss this appeal.
My Lords,
180. I have had the advantage of reading in draft the opinion of my noble and learned friend Lord Hobhouse of Woodborough. I agree with him that this appeal should be dismissed for the reasons given in his opinion. But because of the interest of this appeal, and the differing views among your Lordships, I wish to add some observations of my own. I begin with two general points.
181. A recurring theme in the authorities, starting with the very first sentence of the speech of Lord Cairns LC in Cundy v Lindsay (1878) 3 App Cas 459, 463, is the Court's difficulty in deciding which of two innocent parties should bear the loss caused by the fraud of a third person (who may be beyond the reach of the law). Typically one innocent party is a seller who has parted with goods to a rogue, without obtaining payment in cash, and the other innocent party has bought the same goods from the rogue for cash. But although the Court recognises both as innocent there is sometimes an inclination to regard the eventual buyer from the rogue as the more deserving of sympathy. Thus Lord Denning MR said in Lewis v Averay [1972] 1 QB 198, 207,
182. In that case both of the innocent parties were young men and both might be thought to have been over-trusting. By contrast in Phillips v Brooks Ltd [1919] 2 KB 243, the seller was an Oxford Street jeweller, and the ultimate holder was a pawnbroker, both of whom were presumably experienced in their trades. In other cases one or other of the innocent parties may appear to have a stronger claim on the Court's sympathy. But your Lordships have to lay down a general rule to cover the generality of cases, and it would not be right to make any general assumption as to one innocent party being more deserving than the other. That is especially true in this case which is concerned, not with a sale but with a hire-purchase transaction, and in which the issue to be decided is (as Lord Hobhouse has pointed out) ultimately a question of statutory construction.
183. The other general point is that (in agreement, I think, with all your Lordships) I regard the issue in this appeal as essentially a problem about offer and acceptance; and in determining whether or not a contract has been formed by offer and acceptance, the Court adopts an objective approach, and does not enquire into what either party actually intended, but into the effect, objectively assessed, of what they said or wrote. As it has been put in a much-cited passage from Gloag on Contract,
(For one of the most recent citations see OT Africa Line Ltd v Vickers Plc [1996] 1 LLR 700, 702). This point is neither original nor controversial but it is worth making because in the leading case of Cundy v Lindsay (which had at first instance been tried with a jury) their Lordships' speeches placed little or no weight on the need for an objective approach. There was no need for them to do so, since (as the Lord Chancellor said at p 464) "The whole history of the whole transaction lies upon paper".
184. The objective nature of the enquiry tends to narrow, perhaps close to vanishing-point, the difference (mentioned in the speeches of my noble and learned friends Lord Millett and Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers) between the person for whom the offer or acceptance is intended and the person to whom it is directed. I venture to suggest that the right question to ask, whether the parties to an alleged contract have been negotiating face to face or at a distance, is to whom the offer is made (or to whom acceptance of an offer is made; but I shall for the sake of simplicity assume that, as in this case, the rogue is the offeror). Posed in that way, the question may be no easier to answer, but it does avoid the sort of pointless speculation which Devlin LJ exposed in Ingram v Little [1961] 1 QB 31, 65:

Alphabet – Google is the Most Valuable Company in U.S.
The Alphabet Company's subsidiary Google is the most valuable company in the U.S. stock market. It officially passed Apple and soared to the top spot on the afternoon of February 1, 2016.
Google changed its corporate structure and became part of a new company called Alphabet in early October, 2015. Alphabet is a collection of companies led by CEO Larry Page. Google is one of the companies under the Alphabet umbrella, and the most significant. It is a wholly owned subsidiary and is headed up by CEO Sundar Pichai.
All the former owners of Google stock had their shares converted to Alphabet stock at the time of the changeover in October. The Google stock symbol remained the same … GOOGL.
As of the first day of February, 2016, Google is the most valuable company in the U.S. Its stock reached an all-time high in response to an outstanding earnings report.
These are new all-time highs after earnings: https://t.co/cYcm7TI0YN$GOOGL $GOOG pic.twitter.com/G00MxfbV26
— StockTwits (@StockTwits) February 1, 2016
GOOGL closed today at $770.77 a share. Alphabet's strong mobile advertising sales were primarily attributed with the strong quarterly profits of the company.
Today, for the first time, Google also revealed how profitable its search engine and other online tools are, as well as how much money it is investing in projects such as self-driving cars.
The company's consolidated revenue was up 17.8 percent to $21.33 billion in the fourth quarter which ended Dec. 31, compared to $18.10 billion for the same period the year before. Analysts had expected $20.77 billion in fourth quarter revenue.
Alphabet's combined shares were worth $549 billion this afternoon. This put it above Apple, which had a value of about $534 billion at the same time.
In addition to exceptional earnings, Google also has been stockpiling cash. This gives real value to its stock holders and makes it possible for it to weather any economic setbacks.
Google (Alphabet) is growing its cash pile fast. They now have $73 billion: https://t.co/qUVIJQS7L8$GOOG $GOOGL
— StockTwits (@StockTwits) February 1, 2016
In addition, Google owns one of the most popular email programs in the world with one billion monthly users.
Gmail now has over 1 billion monthly active users: https://t.co/9ssyWGQW8R$GOOGL $GOOG
— StockTwits (@StockTwits) February 1, 2016
Perhaps one of the biggest social signs that Google has become a major factor in American life is that its name has become a verb. Nearly anyone who owns a computer in the U.S. has said at one time or another that they will "Google" any information they need … whether it is directions to a party, a recipe, a news item or an obscure piece of information.

Here's where to watch Fourth of July fireworks around Boston
Check out these alternatives to watching from the Esplanade.
Watching Boston's July Fourth fireworks display is a summertime tradition that everyone should experience. If you're not a fan of crowds, there are plenty of ways to catch the show that don't involve staking out a spot on the Esplanade. Bring a radio (or other preferred music listening device) to hear the Boston Pops performance, then sit back and enjoy the dazzling display.

Well, not that kinds can't see it- But still there is somethings in it for everyone :)
Marcus is at it again!
Nice to see a another excellent flash from Marcus. You got a great style, and make great use of FbF and motion tweening. But its the humor that create that I find admirable.
I'm still boggling why the Knight ran in fear.. perhaps because of bad breath (Dragoon Breath)?
Nice musical short you got there, still the musician I see. Great flash and I'm looking forward to the next Detective Frofrog.
Someone who remembered me! That's awsome! The thing about the breath is not bad. Maybe I should have added some green vapour from his jaws?
but dragons generally have wings...
Well.. don't tell anyone, but there is a thing to that. There's a secret.
i think this flash is really stupid
very neat, this flash was very unique indeed, frist off the intro with the narrator was well put across and opened up this flash very well. The scene with the dragon vs the man was very funny, and animations were incredible smooth. Voice acting was outstanding, and this was a great short. Camera anlges and zooms were well done, and both characters were very creative and the dragon finally crossed in a ver funny way
Lip syncs were well done, and some great voice acting, colortone and detial was great and expressions were cool, nice work and a rad short.
Thanks man!
It was fun to make.

Top 10 Ways to Put Yourself on YouTube
Written by: Catalogs.com Editorial Staff
March 29, 2011
Filed Under Tech and Electronics
Contributed by Missy Nolan, Catalogs.com Top 10 Guru
These days, it's easy to get your 15 minutes of fame- or at least 3-5 minutes. All you need is a camcorder, web cam, or cell phone with the ability to record videos.
But what should your videos be about? How do you capture the interest of YouTube viewers around the world? There are hundreds of ways to put yourself on YouTube. You'll find the best below.
Here are the top ten ways to put yourself on YouTube:
10. Showcase your musical talent
Do all of your friends say you should have been on American Idol? Can you play the French horn like nobody's business? It's time to show the world just how awesome you are. Maybe you'll even get a record deal.
9. Showcase your LACK of musical talent
Not everybody can be the next Beyonce or John Lennon. Record yourself singing your favorite song loudly and off-key. Bonus points for embarrassingly pathetic dance moves.
8. Share you knowledge
You might assume everybody knows how to apply lip gloss or fold laundry. They don't. This is where you come in and save the day.
7. Do something stupid
Jump off of your roof, walk into a tree, or dive into an inflatable pool with an inch of water. On second thought, don't do any of those things. You can be a YouTube star without injuring yourself.
6. Rant
Your rant can be about anything- the president, oil prices, your neighbor, the color pink…you get the idea. Complaining is frowned upon in most places, but the internet is not one of them.
5. Rave
What's your favorite person, place, or thing in the whole wide world? Don't keep YouTube viewers in suspense.
4. Flaunt your children
Your kids probably do some pretty funny or adorable things. Don't let them steal the show, though. Every single time they do something cute, loudly announce your name and remind your viewers that they inherited their cuteness, brains or beauty from you.
3. Start a war of words
Got beef with somebody? Tell them off via YouTube. Just be prepared for the rebuttal.
2. Create a one man (or woman) comedy show
Your mom thinks you're funny, and she's not just talking about your appearance. Bust out your best one-liners and leave cyberspace in stitches.
1. Do absolutely nothing
Seriously. Just sit there and stare at the camera for 5 minutes. People will keep watching, thinking that you'll eventually do something funny. The joke is on them.

Strawberries Help Prevent Chronic DiseaseBrain Health, Cancer Prevention, Cardiovascular Health, Diabetes, Metabolic Health October 27, 2017, by Leslie Redmond 0 Comment 122
A review in The Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences summarized the latest research on how strawberries may prevent chronic disease.
Fruit and vegetable consumption is associated with a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease, and cancer. Strawberries are especially powerful disease fighters because they contain a high concentration of 'bioactive compounds,' including phenolics (such as anthocyanins, responsible for their vibrant red color); vitamins C and folate; and minerals like manganese, potassium, and magnesium. Both in vitro and in vivo studies have concluded that strawberries have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiatherosclerotic and anticarcinogenic properties.
The review covered the following categories:
Strawberries and Inflammation
Chronic, low-grade inflammation contributes to the development of chronic diseases like Alzheimer's disease, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Both in vitro and in vivo studies found that strawberries suppressed the production of pro-inflammatory proteins and increased the production of anti-inflammatory proteins.
Strawberries and Cardiovascular Disease (CVD)
Cardiovascular disease, including heart attack, heart failure, arrhythmia, and stroke are responsible for 17.7 million deaths a year (approximately 31% of all deaths worldwide) according to the World Health Organization. Strawberry consumption has been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by improving blood vessel function, blood sugar levels, and cholesterol levels, boosting antioxidant levels, and reducing inflammation. One 18-year prospective cohort study of young and middle-aged women found that those who consumed at least three servings of anthocyanins from strawberries and blueberries every week had a decreased risk of heart attack.
Strawberries and Cancer
Strawberries have a high concentration of cancer-fighting vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. These compounds target cancer cell initiation and proliferation. In a number of cell studies, strawberry extract inhibited the growth of prostate cancer, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, melanoma and leukemia. Some in vitro breast cancer studies found that strawberries caused cancer cells to self-destruct or modulated gene expression to stop "highly aggressive and invasive" cells from spreading. While there are limited results from human prospective studies, results from animal models are promising.

A year after Casper & the Angels bombed out on NBC, Harvey Comics & Hanna-Barbera tried again, this time adapting another of Harvey's stars, Richie Rich, the world's richest boy.
One big difference between the comics and the TV series was how they used Irona, the robot maid of the Rich family. While Irona did her fair share of protecting Richie in the books, here she was rebooted as a shapeshifter, usually to rescue Richie and either faithful butler/sidekick Cadbury or any of Richie's pals from a villain. Irona turned into a rocket on at least one or two occasions, something that was never done in the books. And, remember, this predated the Transformers by a good 4 years!
Here's a sample episode:
Richie was included in a block with the returning Scooby & Scrappy Doo, largely because ABC figured more kids would tune in if they were led to believe there would be some interaction between the two series. There wasn't. Richie lasted 4 seasons before fading out, and would return, 12 years later, with Harvey producing the new show themselves, this time in a syndicated series that few actually saw, because it wasn't available in some parts of the country.
Today, with Harvey Comics a distant memory, you can't find Richie on the comics shelves anymore. However, that's about to change. An independent publisher plans to revive Richie next year.
Rating: B.

Community Presbyterian Church is a traditional small mountain town church established in 1876 as the first Protestant house of worship on the Western Slope of Colorado. Following the leadership of George Darley, we were led by dedicated pastors that traveled from outlying communities to serve the congregation. Dr. Harold Parker became our pastor in 1968 and served for over 20 years until his retirement in 1989. He was followed by Jeffrey Light who was our first full-time pastor since the turn of the century. Following him were full-time pastors Franklin Kaemingk (1994-1997), Norman Fowler (1998-2005), John Guthrie (2006-2009), and Rick Underwood (2010-2014).
Our congregation of about 60 active members changes with the seasons. During the winter, year-round members form a close-knit family gathering in worship and fellowship. Summer brings the arrival of an extended family of summer residents that increases the congregation with affiliate members and friends. In the winter there is one Sunday morning service followed by Fellowship. Since the sanctuary seats 115, summer worship is expanded to two services and Fellowship to accommodate the larger gathering. Children's Worship is provided. Visitors are welcome to join us for worship and fellowship.
Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
PC(USA) has denominational offices in Louisville, KY with over two million members, more than 10,000 congregations and 14,000 ordained and active ministers.
Presbyterians share many beliefs with early Christians and can trace their church history to the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century and the writings of John Calvin (1509-1564) and others. Calvin's beliefs helped unify Reformed thinking. From Geneva, Switzerland, where Calvin wrote, the Reformed movement spread throughout Europe and the British Isles. Many early American Presbyterians came from England, Scotland and Ireland. The first American Presbytery was organized at Philadelphia in 1706, and the first General Assembly was held there in 1789. Rev. John Witherspoon convened the first Assembly. He was the only minister to sign the Declaration of Independence.
Over time new statements of belief have been written and have become part of the confessional heritage of our denomination. Our creeds are used in worship, study, and for personal reflection as we seek to understand our faith and live what we believe. Each of the eleven confessions in the Book of Confessions reflects a particular moment in history, often a time of crisis or change.

Gabriella Lenzi is a Brazilian supermodel. She is most famous in the US for dating Brazilian soccer star Neymar, as well as her sexy Instagram account, which has over 600k followers and counting.
Gabriella Lenzi was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil on September 22, 1994. Beyond that, little is known about the gorgeous supermodel here in the US other than the fact that she famously dated soccer star Neymar during the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. The two were said to have began their relationship sometime in early March 2014, which ended before August. Al that said, considering the lavish lifestyle she seems to lead via the photos on her Instagram page, the fact that Neymar is the seventh richest soccer player in the world makes sense. He also has a habit of dating ridiculously gorgeous woman such as soap star Bruna Marquezine and Carolina Dantas.
Gabriella is said to be represented by DF Model Management in Joinville, Santa Catarina, Brazil, who have given her measurements as 31-22-34. She is also apparently enrolled in fashion studies at the Fundacao Armanda Alvares Penteado (FAAP) in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
As far as Gabriellla's killer body is concerned, she appears to be quite the fitness fanatic, as she takes numerous pictures of herself in the gym. It is said she gets the bulk of her exercise through gymnastics and swimming, although anything beyond that and good genes remains a mystery on par with the rest of her personal life.

Condor have launched a new steel race bike the Super Acciaio and we got a first good look at it yesterday during build up at the Cycle Show.
The TIG welded frame is made in Italy from a triple butted tubeset that's the result of a collaboration between Dedacciai and Condor, that draws on Condors more than 60 year history of building steel bikes. But this is not exercise in retro-chic: the Acciaio (the Italian for steel) is an out and out modern race bike, it shares the same geometry and fork as the Super Leggero, Condor's top end carbon race weapon and the bike used by the Rapha Condor Sharp racing team.
Condor's Ben Spurrier, who designed the Super Acciaio explained that the brief was to build a modern race bike from steel, so this is an exercise in stiffness, delivering power to the back wheel quickly and sharp, accurate handling. So you get a an asymmetric headtube up front tapering out to an inch and a half at the bottom and a press fit BB30 bottom bracket down below as a further enhancement to stiffness. The top tube is custom rolled and flattened to Condor's design while the oversize downtube bi-ovalises between it's junction with head and downtubes… you get the idea, there is nothing retro about the Super Acciao. That downtube againg is there to keep things stiff as does that flattened top tube, but the top tube at least is also making a statement about looking modern too.
Two years in development the Super Acciaio is hand TIG welded in Italy and is in many ways says Ben is a more aggressive version of the existing Condor Acciaio frameset a bike that majors on performance and comfort, but which is much more in the sportive mould. Dan Craven rode 'Steely' the Super Acciaio prototype as a crit and training bike during the 2010 UK season and then took the bike back to Namibia with him for close season training and competition - he rode it to victory in the King of the Mountains competition in the Tropicale Amissa Bongo race in Gabon, so the new bike already has a winning pedigree.
The frame and forks will set you back £1,199.99 with complete builds starting at £1,759.99. Ben told us that depending on the finishing kit used, builds under 17lb are easily achievable.
You can see the new Super Acciaio in the flesh at the Cycle Show and there's a special ticket offer price for road.cc users of just £11.50 per ticket - that's £4 off the standard ticket price. You can buy tickets by going to www.cycleshow.co.uk/book or calling 0844 848 0132 and entering the discount code 'RCC'. The offer price does not include a £1 booking fee.
Plucked from the obscurity of his London commute back in the mid-Nineties to live in Bath and edit bike mags our man made the jump to the interweb back in 2006 as launch editor of a large cycling website somewhat confusingly named after a piece of navigational equipment. He came up with the idea for road.cc mainly to avoid being told what to do… Oh dear, issues there then. Tony tries to ride his bike every day and if he doesn't he gets grumpy, he likes carbon, but owns steel, and wants titanium. When not on his bike or eating cake Tony spends his time looking for new ways to annoy the road.cc team. He's remarkably good at it.

In Iraq, coalition officials have apologized to the family of a prominent Shiite Muslim community leader in Baghdad, who was shot and killed by an American soldier last Sunday. The man's death has ignited deep anger among many Iraqi Shiite Muslims in the capital, whose support is crucial to coalition efforts to bring stability to Iraq.
The U.S. military and the family of Muhannad al-Kaabi still differ on the circumstances surrounding the death of the 28-year-old mechanical engineer.
The U.S. military admits a soldier fatally shot Mr. Kaabi Sunday during a heated argument. But the military says the soldier shot Mr. Kaabi only after he ignored several warning shots, and attacked another soldier, and tried to grab his weapon. Mr. Kaabi, who was shot in the upper leg, died a few hours later at a military hospital.
But Mr. Kaabi's family says Iraqi eyewitnesses have told them a very different story about what happened that day.
The slain man's younger brother, Hani al-Kaabi, says he was told that the soldier shot Mr. Kaabi in the back, as he and another soldier argued and began shoving each other.
"Muhannad used just his hands, and he [the soldier] killed [him] in cold blood. You know what I mean by cold blood? Like a mafia," he said.
The incident, which is still under investigation, has generated particular attention and controversy here, because Muhannad al-Kaabi was not an ordinary Iraqi citizen.
He was the chairman of the U.S.-supervised district advisory council that runs Sadr City, a desperately poor, mainly Shiite quarter of eastern Baghdad that is home to nearly one-third of the capital's six million people.
Friends who know Mr. Kaabi say he worked hard to win community support for the Sadr City council, whose members were chosen through an informal voting procedure set up by the Coalition Provisional Authority.
Fellow council member Hussein Abbas says Mr. Kaabi believed that working with coalition officials was the best way to help bring basic services to his long-suffering community.
Mr. Abbas says Mr. Kaabi dedicated himself completely to the task of improving the lives of his constituents. He says Mr. Kaabi did not care that some people viewed him as a traitor.
When the council was formed in June, few residents in Sadr City objected to having coalition officials participate in the political process. Most people welcomed the fall of Saddam Hussein's government, which brutally repressed Iraq's Shiite Muslim majority during its 30-year rule.
But, as the security situation in Baghdad began to worsen in recent months, support for the coalition has fallen.
Many Sadr City residents began turning to Moqtada al-Sadr, a junior Shiite religious cleric, who has called coalition political efforts illegitimate, and favors the creation of an Iranian-styled religious state in Iraq.
Tensions between U.S. troops and Sadr City residents rose sharply in August, after soldiers took down a banner inscribed with the name of one of Shiite Islam's most revered figures. At least 3,000 people protested the incident, and the U.S. military apologized.
U.S. officials have recently identified a Shiite extremist group called Muntada al-Wilaya, operating in Baghdad and southern Iraq. The group is believed to be actively recruiting poor, disenchanted Shiite Muslims to join the anti-coalition insurgency, which has been intensifying in Iraq in recent weeks.
Last month, two American soldiers were killed in an ambush in Sadr City. The attack followed the detention of a local cleric on suspicion of being involved in a deadly car bombing of a Sadr City police station a day earlier.
The American advisor to the Baghdad City Council, U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Joe Rice acknowledges Mr. Kaabi's controversial death comes at a delicate time for coalition officials.
"It's a very unfortunate incident," he said. "I did know him personally. He was absolutely committed to what we are trying to do here and getting the people in Sadr City and Baghdad a truly representative government. Even though this is a setback, I think he would want it to go on, and I think it will go on."
Council member Hussein Abbas agrees. The council's workload has been temporarily reduced to observe a mourning period. But Mr. Abbas says he believes most of the 40 members will return to work next week.
Still, Mr. Kaabi's brother, Hani, says he does not want to see any Iraqis working with Americans anymore. He angrily warns that Iraqi confidence and trust in the coalition authority are rapidly eroding.
"From the beginning of war, I have some hope the situation will be better," he said. "Every Iraqi people, they have this idea that things will be better. But even this hope begins to disappear."
Coalition officials have apologized for Sunday's incident. But Sadr City council members say they should also pay compensation to Mr. Kaabi's family, in accordance with tribal custom.

Make a bamboo flute by burning holes in a bamboo rod and sealing it with linseed oil. The supplies you need are a bamboo fishing pole, a hacksaw, fine sandpaper, a 1/2-inch diameter steel rod, a butane torch, a permanent marker, an oven mitt, a 1/4-inch drill bit, vise-grip pliers, linseed oil and a clean rag. This project takes about 40 minutes.Continue Reading
Use the hacksaw to cut an 18-inch piece from the bottom of the bamboo fishing rod. Choose a section with one open end; the other end must be sealed by the fibrous partition that separates the bamboo segments. This is the body of the flute.
Measure 1 inch from the sealed end and mark the location with a dot of permanent marker. Starting from that mark, measure 6 inches up the bamboo, and make another dot. Then make five additional dots above it, spaced 1 inch apart.
Put on an oven mitt. Grasp one end of the steel rod, and heat the other end with the butane torch. When the steel is red hot, insert it in the open end of the flute. Push the rod through the flute, incinerating all but the last of its fibrous partitions.
Pick up the drill bit with the pliers, and heat it with the torch until it is red hot. Carefully press the bit into the seven permanent marker dots.
Roll a small sheet of fine sandpaper into a tight tube, and insert it into the burned finger holes. Scrub the sandpaper up and down to remove charred bamboo fragments.
Pour a small amount of linseed oil onto a clean rag, and rub it over the flute.
