Compline brings choral music to MemChu
Stanford Daily
by Michael Gioia
At 9 p.m. on Sunday evenings, the Stanford community gets an opportunity to reflect through Compline, 30 minutes of chanting and meditation at a candlelit Memorial Church. Run by the Office of Religious Life, Compline brings a different choir to the church each week. Oct. 12 marked the first service of the 2014-15 school year.
A large audience of community members watched a performance by a choir from Palo Alto High School on Sunday. Michael Najar, a high school teacher in the visual and performing arts, conducted the choir and described Memorial Church as "an imaginative space."
"It's been an absolute joy that we have been able to come here," Najar said. "It's made for the type of music that we want to sing."

A Guide to Gemstone Cufflinks
No accessory for your suit or formal wear is more unique than gemstone cufflinks. Typically men's cufflinks of any variety are used as minor accents to your outfit, but our AZEERA natural stone cufflinks steal the show. They come in a range of styles from minimalist to bold with something for everyone. The patterns include geometric, thematic, modern, simple, and statement and come in various levels of luxury. Our cufflinks come in the versatile white gold with the option to select the gemstones from 11 different options:
Amethyst, Aquamarine, Black Onyx, Blue Sapphire, Citrine, Diamond, Garnet, Peridot, Pink Tourmaline, Ruby, and Swiss Blue Topaz.
Selecting the Color of your Natural Stone Cufflinks
We only use natural gems mined from the earth, so you can be sure that you are getting real sapphire cufflinks or real ruby cufflinks. We believe that everyone can wear every color, even if it might not to be your liking initially. You can make it work! If you need help, our designers are here for you. They have given their choices for a suit and shirt combinations to each gemstone type:
Distinguished Purple Amethyst Cufflinks
Amethyst Cufflinks – This regal purple gem stands out on lighter color suits such as light gray, tan, and pastel. To make the color pop, you can also wear white or light soft colors such as blue, purple, and pink. Amethyst can also compliment bold color shirts of the same saturation levels.
Gentle Light Blue Aquamarine Cufflinks
Aquamarine Cufflinks – Like the calm blue waters, aquamarine invokes feelings of tranquility. Avoid bold colors with this gem, but feel free to sport any light color shirt with light colored suits. The soft blue cufflinks pair well with almost any of those combinations.
Sophisticated Black Onyx Cufflinks
Black Onyx Cufflinks – Black onyx cufflinks are an iconic piece of jewelry that deserves to be in everyone's collection. The opaque jet-black gem is as distinguished as the black tie. When wearing 14k gold black onyx cufflinks, it is not necessary that wear a black suit or black tie. In fact, you can wear any other combination of colors with your gold onyx cufflinks as long as you have one or two more black colored accessories such as a wristwatch, belt, shoes, or glasses. Black onyx gold cufflinks are the easiest color to pair and we recommend them to everyone.
Inspiring Deep Blue Sapphire Cufflinks
Blue Sapphire Cufflinks – Deep blue sapphire cufflinks are another prominent set in the jewelry world. They are perfect with dark color suits and bold colored shirts and ties. Men's sapphire cufflinks exude power and authority with just a deep blue masculine tone. For a look that especially stands out, try the combination of sapphire and diamond cufflinks. Finding the best blue sapphire cufflinks for sale has never been easier at AZEERA.
Vivid Yellow Orange Citrine Cufflinks
Citrine Cufflinks – Probably the most difficult of the gems to pair, citrine is still one of our favorites because it works so well for summer suits and we love summer! This tangy yellow orange gem brightens light suits and warm color shirts.
Pristine White Diamond Cufflinks
Diamond Cufflinks – Pristine white and elegant, diamonds are the epitome of opulence and luxury. We don't recommend diamond cufflinks for everyone. Only to the select few who wish to make a statement should wear these magnificent gems. Diamond cufflinks look fantastic with dark colored shirts with white buttons.
Deep Red Orange Garnet Cufflinks
Garnet Cufflinks – Men's garnet cufflinks are the most unique set in the collection. The deep orange red is a distinguished color that must be paired delicately. Garnet cufflinks for men can be worn with burgundy suits and similar earth tones. For a more adventurous look, try combinations pairing light and dark contrasting colors with garnet.
Vibrant Yellow Green Peridot Cufflinks
Peridot Cufflinks – Thankfully, formal and business fashion has no lack of springtime colors. Soft light hues of any color will play well with the lively yellow green peridot. We recommend pairing two other contrasting colors to create a nice palette and show of your sophistication.
Bubble Gum Pink Tourmaline Cufflinks
Pink Tourmaline Cufflinks – Pink was not a popular color for men's fashion until recently in these last twenty years, but we are happy that it is back in the mainstream. Pink tourmaline cufflinks can be paired with medium to light gray and tan suits with medium to light color shirts of any color. Lighter colors will make pink tourmaline pop while medium colors will compliment the gem.
Intense Ruby Cufflinks
Ruby Cufflinks – The color red suggests passion, intensity, and wealth. That also applies to genuine ruby cufflinks. You can create a look that is especially prominent with a black suit and white shirt against gold and ruby cufflinks. Men's ruby cufflinks are an iconic look just like the signet rings worn in the 1900s. We recommend ruby cufflinks for men to anyone. With ruby cufflinks, vintage designs can be passed down from father to son as family heirlooms.
Swiss Blue Topaz Cufflinks
Swiss Blue Topaz Cufflinks – This light electric blue gem is a step up from aquamarine but not as intense as blue sapphire. It is the perfect blend of medium light blue that makes it a versatile gem for all light and medium suit and soft color shirt combinations. The vibrant gem also adds a splash of energy and youth to your look.

There are so many ways to celebrate a birthday. People go wild; people have parades; people celebrate in the quiet of their homes; and, sometimes, people mourn or don't celebrate at all.
Companies have the means to ensure birthdays are celebrated and remembered fondly (or anonymously if that's how the employee likes it).
1) Start off with a birthday survey.
Collect the following information on the survey.
- Please enter your first and last name.
- What is your month and day of birth?
- Do not get the year to avoid people knowing how old someone is. This can bring about negative feelings for some.
- What is your favorite flavor of (insert special treat you'd be willing to get for the office to share, such as cupcakes)?
- Please list all of your known food allergies.
- Do you want your birthday to be celebrated in the office or kept hidden from public knowledge?
This simple survey can be sent to each employee upon being hired. Then, this can allow the HR department to move into the next step for celebrating employees' birthdays.
2) Send out a monthly birthday email.
At the beginning of each month, send out an email, stating there are treats in the breakroom/kitchen for all to enjoy, including the flavor of treats for all birthdays celebrated that month (including the non-celebrated birthdays' favorite flavors). Also include in the email whose birthdays are being celebrated that month and on what day. Again, do not include their year of birth. Encourage people to write a birthday note and pin it on the birthday board that can be hung in the breakroom/kitchen. Keep reading for information on all these various pieces of this celebration-practice in the office.
3) Provide birthday treats for everyone in the office to enjoy.
Provide the flavors of treats the people with birthdays that month stated were their favorite and a couple of traditional flavors. This means all can enjoy in the celebration, as well as the birthday people! This will also encourage people to partake in the next step.
4) Encourage people to post an appropriate birthday wish on the birthday board.
This Birthday Board can be hung in the breakroom/kitchen near the birthday treats. A cork board usually will do the trick, as they are not too expensive. Put out markers and fun colored papers for people to write notes. Each month, post a picture of the birthday people on the board with their full name above their picture and birth month and day. People can then pin their wishes near the pictures for each person. At the end of the month, gather the notes for each person in an envelope and leave them on that person's desk or in their mailbox, whichever is company policy.
5) Send out an email first thing in the morning on the last week day of the month.
Tell people that today is the last day to celebrate office birthdays for the month of (fill in the blank). This will encourage any last minute people to post nice notes for the birthday people before they are taken down.
Repeat this for each month for all the workplace birthdays! This keeps things clear, concise, fun, and cost effective for the company to celebrate employee birthdays.

A new construction was built in the Valency valley in Boscastle recently. Its not 'woodhenge' and the ranger team won't be found there at either solstices. It is in fact the start of a shelter that will be available to one and all to use. With the help of our ever industrious volunteer group we built the main structure out of cleft oak that we felled as part of our continuing management in Peter's wood.
The idea is that the 'walls' will be in filled with the help of local school pupils with logs, living willow and wattle and daub. We hope to use it for events and education days and in adverse conditions a parachute canopy will be put up to provide with shelter from the elements. At some stage a couple of benches will be installed and on quiet days the shelter will be open to the elements and available for the public to sit, relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of the Valency.

Sorry there was no August pot....I was too busy doing nothing. To compensate, here's two for the price of one:
It's all rather bulbous - but if you like gardening, then that's what autumn's all about.
This pot doesn't look like a huge amount of anything on top - in fact, what you see above is just an afterthought really. I had a pelargonium left over from loads of cuttings I took last year and thought I'd give it a chance to shine. What's really going on here is the bulbs...and for them, you'll have to wait. I utterly promise you, it'll be worth it. In addition to the scented leaved pelargonium, you're going to get a crop of delicious Mizuna leaves, then a March-April flowering of little daffodils, followed by an April-May flowering of delicate yellow and white dutch iris.
For this pot you will need:
A pack of dwarf daffodils (I used Narcissi 'Minnow')
A pack of Dwarf irises (my pack says 'Dutch Iris...no idea about them but they were on special offer)
A packet of Mizuna seeds (or any other oriental salad leaves that like to be sown in the late summer)
A small scented leaved pelargonium (You can find these languishing in dark corners of good garden centres at this time of year). This is really just to give you something to look at for now - if you can't find pelargoniums, then just substitute with a smattering of pansies, or anything else that looks good right now. Don't plant too densely though...you want to leave space for those bulbs to push through.
A large-ish pot - mine is 50 cm across at the top.
Multi-purpose compost
Fill the pot with compost until there's 10cm left to the top of the pot. Now put in your daffodil bulbs - quite close together but not touching.
Now cover the bulbs with another 5 cm of compost, shove in your chosen 'see me now' plant, and surround it with your iris bulbs.
Fill in all the rest of the space and water well but gently, with the fine rose of a watering can, until you're sure the water's coming out of the bottom of the pot.
Now sow your mizuna seed - thinly and carefully around your pelargonium, covering the seeds with a smattering of compost and patting down comfortingly, to make sure the seeds are in contact with the compost.
Keep it watered, and protected from naughty squirrels and this pot will give you delicious winter leaves, as well as joy well into summertime next year.
P.S. There are so many other bulbs out there - here's another pot I've done with dwarf tulips and muscari (and mizuna too)...take a look at your garden centre, note the flowering time and double, or triple up accordingly xx

Legendary comedian Mehmood passed away on July 23 after suffering from a long illness. Dev Anand pays tribute to the actor-director who starred in almost 300 films in a career spanning over three decades.
I met him recently when I was in New York. He had called me up in the US and his son Lucky Ali had composed music for me. I had directed Mehmood in Des Pardes and Lootmaar.
Mehmood was a good comedian and a good friend. He met me when we were making Manzil and he played a paanwala who loved to sing. We've had a relationship since those days. He was my age. He recently told me that, I couldn't believe it! He used to call me Dev bhaiya.
He had his day. He moved from small roles to comedy and even played a hero. He was the son of Mumtaz Ali, who was a Bombay Talkies artiste.
I particularly remember the film Kunwara Baap, which was very successful. He used his son who was paralysed [Macky, who died in August 2002].
Ultimately, we all have to go. I remember he was on oxygen and had been ill for some time.
Don't Miss!

Working out which cell company is the "best" is a disputable issue, without a doubt. Depending how you measure it, T-Mobile's system is either the best around the local area, or battling for last place with Sprint. In any case, having the best scope or quickest system isn't the main thing that issues to clients, so it won't not be a stun that two versatile affiliates without their own systems beat the Big Four to be the PC Mag Readers' Choice victors.
Customer Cellular and Google's Project Fi, two MVNOs that don't possess their own systems and essentially exchange benefit, won the best general cell phone bearers from the PC Mag study of its perusers. Much like the JD Power versatile honors, which additionally depend on customer impressions as opposed to a target positioning of systems, the PC Mag review gets some information about their sentiments and the results. It's not the most logical study — particularly on the grounds that PC Mag perusers are presumably more inclined to appreciate a geeky organize like Project Fi — yet it's yet another sign that the evaluating and client administration of huge transporters is decently all around abhorred.
Purchaser Cellular is a MVNO that spotlights on more seasoned clients, with the accentuation on focused valuing and AARP rebates. It utilizes AT&T and T-Mobile's system to offer administration. Google Project Fi has an altogether different estimating model to its rivals, and it keeps running on T-Mobile and Sprint's systems. The two systems scored over 9 (out of 10) for general fulfillment and likeliness to prescribe to a companion.
By and large, T-Mobile was the nearest of the huge four transporters, scoring a 8.4. Verizon was in third place with 7.8, AT&T got a 7.5, and Sprint moped in last place with a 7.1.

Beautiful Vintage 40's Wedding/
Kari and Blake were married in Franklin, TN Kari wanted a 1940 vintage inspired wedding with lots of fun details.
The bride wore a beautiful dress with a birdcage veil and fabulous red shoes.

During the cocktail hour, guests were served apple cider and caramel popcorn.
In addition to the amazing bride's cake there was strawberry shortcake for a groom's cake. Later in the evening there were also cookies and plain and chocolate milk served in vintage glass milk bottles.
The couple made their getaway from the church in a vintage 1941 GMC truck.
This couple had so much fun their entire day.

7 Steps to Sandal Ready Feet!
The sun is here to stay it seems, and that means it is sandal weather at last! Unfortunately, if you are anything like me you might look down at your feet and think there is no way you can step out of the house with those bared for all to see! Well, at least not yet.
I always do a full foot treatment before making my sandal debut to get everything looking soft, hydrated and polished. And since I hate the idea of someone else touching my feet (sorry, no professional pedicure for me!), it is all up to me to get everything set to go. After many many years of prepping my heels and toes, I have finally perfected the ultimate routine -- and guess what? It takes hardly any time at all once you get going!
1] Soak
While a salt foot bath is great to use on sore or tired muscles, it is also a great way to draw out toxins, eliminate odor, help heal ingrown nails, fight fungus, and soothe dry or rough skin. So what better way to start sorting out your summer sandal-ready feet than by giving them a nice long soak! Botanicals Therapeutic Foot Soak* combines the powers of mineral rich Himalayan and Dead Sea salts with peppermint, spearmint, and tea tree essential oils. The mixture contains 84 essential minerals that revitalize the skin while also softening the tissue to prep you for the perfect pedicure. Just sit back, breathe in the stimulating scent, and meditate, read, or just daydream for the next 15-20 minutes while your feet reap the benefits of the healing salt water.
When you are done, keep the salt bath handy, as you may just find yourself using it for a quick rinse after step three in the routine!
Ingredients: Himalayn crystal salt***, maris sal (Dead Sea) salt,*** magnesium Sulphate***, melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) leaf oil*, mentha piperita peppermint) oil*, mentha spicata (spearmint) leaf oil*, tocopherol***, limonene**. (*Certified organic. **Natural constituent of essential oils. ***Natural origin.)
2] Scrub
Now that your skin has been softened up by the soak, it is time for a gentle exfoliation to start removing any dead skin. The heel of your foot and the side of your big toe are the spots that are most likely needing the most TLC, so be sure to pay special attention to those areas. Again, I reach to Botanicals to help me out here with their Lemongrass and Tea Tree Foot Scrub*. I really like this particular scrub because it is not overly harsh or abrasive. Plus, it contains nourishing shea butter which helps the product slowly melt into an easy to use paste and helps ensure that your feet are not irritated by the fine exfoliation.
Straight after your salt bath, add about a teaspoon of product to your foot and begin to lightly spread it around. Make sure your hand is damp as well, as this well help the salts dissolve and work their magic. Once all the granules have disappeared, get ready to move on to the next step -- don't worry, it's a quick one!
Ingredients: Maris sal (Dead Sea salt ), helianthus annus (sunflower) seed oil*, butyrospermum parkii (shea butter)* cetyl alcohol, ricinus communis (castor) seed oil*, decyl glucoside, sodium chloride (Himalayan crystal salt), zea mays seed flour*, tocopherol (vitamin E), citrus nobilis (mandarin orange) peel oil*, cymbopogon flexuosus oil*, melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) leaf oil*, citral**, geraniol**, linalool**, limonene**. (*Certified organic. **Natural constituents of essential oils.)
3] Buff
After I have finished with the gentle exfoliation, I like to finish off with a quick buff around those trickier areas -- especially my heels which are pretty sad after the cold dry months. I bought a simple wooden foot file ages back from Poundland or Boots, and it is still going strong. The board has two grains, a fine and a coarse, and for my first treatment I always pick the heavier duty side! Simply rub the areas that need some more work, and you will see all the dead skin flaking off. Just be sure to do this over something that can catch the debris, otherwise it gets a bit gross and messy!
Be sure not to overwork your foot, as those calluses you have built up are actually not all that bad. In fact, they work to protect you from the natural everyday pressures caused by walking. You want to soften the area and remove some of the build up without fully eliminating the protective cushion. I tend to go over each foot for about 30 seconds before switching to the next. Then, when I am finished, I pop them in the remaining salt bath water to give them a good rinse.
4] Balm
Once you have removed all the dead skin from your winter worn feet, it is super important to give them a huge moisture boost. I actually like to do this in two stages. First I use a light balm right after the initial treatment to help soothe my skin. My favourite at the moment is Heavenly Organics' Peppermint Foot Balm -- it smells amazing, sinks in quick, and leaves my feet feeling nourished and revived. While you can use any balm for this, I find ones that contain peppermint, tea tree, lavender, or lemongrass are ideal, as they calm, soothe, heal, deodorize, and disinfect. It is so important to keep your feet protected when they are exposed, and treating them with antibacterial and anti inflammatory oils before even leaving the house can really help. Just be sure to give the balm time to absorb before popping any shoes on, as it can get a bit slippery!
Then, just before it is time for bed I lock in all the hydration overnight using a thicker cream and a pair of socks. Why is this a good method for applying product? Well, there is a misconception about feet, as many believe that feet have large pores, meaning they soak in product (and the effects of those products) much more quickly than other areas of the body. The reality is that your feet actually don't absorb much at all as they are constantly sweating off whatever you put on! Using a pair of socks to lock in the cream can help give that extra boost they struggle to get during the day.
You can use ordinary socks, but I find that feels a bit uncomfortable and gross, so I found a silky soft pair that is specially made for masking. These are 'moisture lock' socks, and while you can find these just about anywhere (Amazon, TK Maxx, your local natural beauty shop..) just be aware that not all are created equal! I made the mistake of buying a set from EcoTools that were "made from bamboo" just to discover later on that the process used to make the material was actually pretty toxic. The treatment that made them actually eliminated the original bamboo substance and I was left with a chemically created Frankenstein fabric. Be sure to check the label before buying to make sure they are not going to do more harm than good! Cotton, silk, and non-chemically treated bamboo is the best bet, as they will give you the softness and breathability you need for an effective masking session.
With my socks, I just lather my skin up with green goodness, pop on the sock, and close my eyes to drift off. Then, in the morning I take them off and my skin is seriously transformed. I have never experienced such soft skin before, and while it won't last forever, it sure is a lovely treat! My favourite lotions and potions to use overnight are Madara's Daily Defence, Human+Kind's all in one cream, and a homemade one infused with shea, tea tree and lavender.
5] Paint
Okay, so this one is completely optional, but I always paint my toes once I have finished pampering the rest of my feet. Be sure to start with a solid base coat, as this will help the polish stick to your nail for longer. Also, since summer tends to put more wear and tear down there due to the skin and nail being fully exposed, be sure to go for a long-lasting clear topcoat over whatever colour and design you choose. My favourite at the moment is Zoya's "Armour," a UV blocking and colour protecting topcoat. Not only is this act as a protective coating, but it helps protect against the sun's harmful rays. Safety and style all in one!
6] Strap up!
You are all set to go! Pop your sandals on with confidence and head out into the warm weather. You might want to carry some plasters along on your first few walkabouts because your feet won't be used to the straps quite yet -- nothing worse than sore feet and painful blisters, especially after you worked so hard to get yourself ready for those cute new shoes! Organii* make organic cotton ones in all sizes, so you can be ready for whatever life throws you. I find the little circle ones are especially useful.
7] Repeat
I repeat this whole routine every few weeks to make sure my feet are staying as healthy looking as possible. I tend to wander around quite often barefoot once the weather warms up, so my feet definitely need looking after from time to time. Luckily, I find that after the first full skincare routine, everything goes much faster since there is not as much dead skin to sort out. I can do all seven steps in under 25 minutes -- less if I skip the soak that week!
So, are you ready to get out there in your sandals yet? Let me know what you think about my at home pedicure treatment, and if you have any other tricks and tips please share them in the comments! I love learning new ways to treat my skin, and since the sun is here to stay (at least for the next few months) I will definitely be pampering my feet pretty often.

for my first styling attempt, i tried a bantu knot out! i figured my hair was finally long enough to try this style, so i sat down sunday night and began twisting. it took me maybe an 40 minutes to an hour (i don't remember how long exactly, but it couldn't have been longer than that). i worked for about twenty minutes and then took a break before finishing. i sat under the dryer for 20 minutes afterwards and when i unraveled in the morning, some still felt a little damp (not sure if it was sweat from my workout or if they weren't completely dry).
here's some images from when i finished twisting/bantu-ing:
and here's the morning i took them out!
unfortunately, i didn't take pictures of my 2nd day hair before starting on my next style, but it held up "okay." i wasn't really impressed or disappointed. this was my first time trying so i'm sure my technique can use some improvement - some parts of my head were a little harder to grip than others. next time i try, i'll make sure to smooth my ends more, dry my hair completely, and twist neater. i think it could come out really nicely a second time around. :)
i really only care for bantu knot outs on longer hair, so i was expecting some funky pattern going on and it definitely wasn't uniform at all. the parts disappeared by the second day, but i didn't really care for the results on the first day either.
the lack of uniformity makes my hair look dry in the photos and i'm still working on taming my ends. no matter what, they always seem to end up frizzy. some ends are smoother than others, so i'm not sure if its my ends that are in bad shape or if i'm simply not smoothing enough when i detangle. braids can be brutal on your ends, so i plan to baby them while my hair is out and start paying more attention to them when they're in braids. i really need to get a handle on them because frizzy ends can really put a damper on a cute look.
next circuit post will be a braidout! :)

By Subash Agarwal, Advocate
In the case of Britannia Industries 238 ITR 57, Hon'ble Calcutta High Court has held that it cannot be said that there was escapement of income in a case where the DVO has enhanced the valuation of a property. DVO's report is merely an expression of opinion.
Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of ACIT vs. Dhariya Construction Co. 328 ITR 515 (SC) held that re-opening for escapement of income is not possible on the basis of DVO's report.
2. Thus, in the opinion of the courts, DVO's report is merely an expression of opinion.
Thus, on the basis of opinion and estimation, no penalty u/s. 271(1)(c) is leviable since offence of concealment has not been proved in such a situation. When the courts have held that there is no "escapement of income" on the basis of DVO's report, same proposition will apply where there is allegation of concealment of income.
3. In the case of National Textiles V. CIT 249 ITR 125, the Hon'ble Gujarat High Court held that –
In order to justify the levy of penalty, two factors must co-exist, (i) there must be some material or circumstances leading to the reasonable conclusion that the amount does represent the assessee's income. It is not enough for the purpose of penalty that the amount has been assessed as income, and (ii) the circumstances must show that there was animus i.e., conscious concealment or act of furnishing of inaccurate particulars on the part of the assessee. The Explanation has no bearing on factor No. 1 but it has bearing only on factor No. 2. The Explanation does not make the assessment order conclusive evidence that the amount assessed was in fact the income of the assessee. No penalty can be imposed if the facts and circumstances are equally consistent with the hypothesis that the amount does not represent concealed income as with the hypothesis that it does. If a assessee gives an explanation which is unproved but not disproved i.e., it is not accepted but circumstances do not lead to the reasonable and positive inference that the assessee's case is false, the Explanation cannot help the Department because there will be no material to show that the amount in question was the income of the assessee.
4. In DILIP N. Shroff's case 291 ITR 519 (SC) it was held as under –
"The registered valuer has arrived its opinion on certain basis. He while making the valuation report, disclosed all the particulars. He disclosed that he had chosen to the index value method. He did not rely upon any sale instance. He might have referred to the valuation of the property as mentioned in a local newspaper. But it is not in dispute that he did not furnish any inaccurate particulars. It is true that he has not enclosed the sheet showing sale instance but nothing turns out thereupon as he had not relied upon any sale instances".
There can be a genuine difference of opinion between two experts.
In the above circumstances, penalty was deleted by the Hon'ble Supreme Court.
5. It was further held in the following cases that penalty imposed only on the basis of valuer's estimate regarding cost of construction is not valid –
(i) Dy. CIT vs. JMD Advisors (P) Ltd. 310 ITR 280 (Del - Trib)
(ii) CIT vs. Apsara Talkies 155 ITR 303 (Mad)

This is an exciting time for Wildlife Health Care staff and Wildlife Care staff as they begin to see the clouded leopard cubs different personalities! One cub is slightly darker in colour, and is more energetic and 'sassy', always taking the bottle very quickly when offered. The second cub is slightly lighter in colour, and although also energetic, is not as bold as its sibling. Both cubs vocalize in a bird-like 'chirping' sound and love to leap, run, explore and climb anything and everything they can find. Wrestling with each other is another favourite thing for these siblings to do. Both clouded leopard cubs have very long tails and their teeth are getting to be quite big in size, which is bringing out their teething behaviors.
The Toronto Zoo is participating in a clouded leopard conservation breeding program through the Species Survival Plan (SSP) program. The clouded leopard has been listed since 2008 as Vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's (IUCN) Red List.
Please note, the clouded leopard cubs are not visible to the public at this time.

Yes, you read right. This is about Andrew.
When he was 13, his godfather gave him 2 shares of Wrigley stock. You know, the gum, not the stadium.
Recently, Wrigley sold to Mars. So the stock cashed out. The best part was that Andrew hadn't tracked the stock or even, frankly, remembered it.
So, what a great surprise!
The 2 shares turned into a nice little bonus and then, today, that nice little bonus turned into a Monster.

Father John Misty Is A Visionary Starting A Revolution Through Sound With His New Record Pure Comedy
Father John Misty is a robust artist of many trades, creatively expressing his perspectives, opinions, and experiences of life and humanity through comedy, poetry, tragedy, chaos, and rebellion.
He takes audiences through a personal and authentic protest through spoken art with a somewhat complicated, layered, and controversial approach seamed with dark underlying and touches of comedic relief. Pure Comedy is an unfiltered gathering of taboo topics that got put under a microscope through songwriting; this record analyzes and submerges into questions relating to the meaning of existence, contemplation of faith, controversial politics, the value and definition of moral status, vanity of the privileged artists.
The peaceful and calming instrumentals and vocals from Misty's folk aesthetic brings ease to the atmosphere as he is confronting such crucial and controversial content. Even the album cover gives this serene and peaceful first intention with the darker hues saturated in the night sky, but as your perspective changes the chaos is bluntly revealed and showcased for the world see under the darkness of the night sky. The dreary but luminant sky could also have a double meaning of paralleling to world ignorance, neglect, and blind-eye to the chaos of the world staring them straight in the face.
He is seemly trying to a visionary of a new revolution melting the peace and panic of society and humanity into a whirlwind of an album.

Important Tech Bulletin about your Security SystemPosted in Security, Security Ssystems by Kerry
What is the 2G sunset announced by AT&T?
AT&T is shutting down the older 2G network, because it doesn't support high data speeds. City by city, the process called 2G harvesting. This harvesting process begins to take 2G frequencies and convert them to 3G frequencies over time, eventually shutting down the 2G network once all frequencies are harvested out. Their goal is to get 2G subscribers to move to newer 3G networks. By shutting down the 2G network and using the same space on the airwaves for 3G, AT&T will increase data capacity by more than a hundred-fold.
What is Paradigm Integration doing to mitigate the risk to my home or business during this harvesting period?
Paradigm Integration has identified all current customers using cellular communication devices across our entire footprint who could be impacted by the AT&T harvesting of 2G networks. The decision, targeted geography, timing and pace at which the 2G networks are harvested and shutdown is at the sole discretion of AT&T. We continue to work with our manufacturing partners to minimize any impact to our customers. Based on the current information from AT&T, it appears that our area will be completely harvested by October 1, 2014. We have reached out to each of the affected clients and are reviewing the options available.
Why is AT&T moving from 2G to 3G/4G?
Cellular carriers, like AT&T, deploy their networks in two frequencies: a preferred frequency with deep building penetration (850MHz) and another frequency with shallow building penetration but faster speeds (1900MHz). Prior to 2011, cellular carriers equally spread 2G and 3G and 4G across their networks. As the adoption of 3G and the need for greater bandwidth increases by consumers, the cellular carriers are looking to shut down 2G and spread 3G further across the network.
Will my current security system work in this new environment?
If you are utilizing a cellular radio communication for your security system, was installed with a dual-frequency unit, an 850MHz radio and a 1900MHz radio. Meaning as the 2G harvesting continues, your device should automatically default (or switch) to the preferred, deep building penetration option of 850MHz as it searches for the best reception tower in your area. You should experience no change in communications with our Central Station under this scenario. However, once the 2G network has been shut down, all 2G devices including your control panel radio will no longer work in the 3G/4G network environment. An upgrade to a 3G/4G-compatible communicator will be required.
How can I be assured my system is working properly during the harvesting period?
Paradigm has always recommended frequent testing of the alarm and it's communication with the Central Station. Instructions for the testing procedure can be found on our website; www.paradigm-inc.net. Paradigm Integration will routinely monitor security systems across affected areas for communication troubles. We work closely with our manufacturing partners to ensure these systems are communicating effectively. However, if your installed system is no longer able to communicate properly due to the 2G sunset, we will contact you to discuss available upgrade options to a 3G/4G device to restore communication with the Central Station. Please call us to discuss available options at any time.
Is this harvesting trend going to continue past this initial phase of 2G sunset?
AT&T has announced that it will completely shut down all of it's 2G networks by December 31, 2016. This current 2G harvesting continues and other carriers, such as T-Mobile will follow. Cellular carriers, l will continue to manage their core asset which is the cellular spectrum. Consumer demand is the core driver of technology advancements, and cellular carriers will continue to launch new technologies and retire older technologies to better allocate their resources. The end result will be better service and improved communications. Manufacturers, including those that make security equipment like yours, work directly with the cellular carriers to improve products and communication paths and stay ahead, as much as they can, with these changing technologies.
Will I be required to upgrade to a 3G option once the 2G sunset is in place?
Yes. Once AT&T and other carriers shut down their 2G networks, all 2G devices, including your security communication radio, will no longer function. An upgrade to a 3G/4G option will be required to continue to communicate to our Central Station. You can begin discussing options with Paradigm at any time.
You mention AT&T specifically, but are all carriers harvesting 2G networks? Can't I just change carriers?
Your current security panel communicator is carrier-specific based on proprietary alarm messaging services and available services at the time in your area. It is not possible to switch carriers without an equipment change, and only then if the appropriate alarm messaging service is available in your area.
Paradigm will continue to monitor the transition and when further changes and updates are required due to service limiting action from the carriers, we will be in contact with you to discuss the options. Paradigm has no control of the "harvesting" or decisions of the carriers, but will continue to monitor. We expect that T-Mobile will be announce it's reduction of the 2G network sometime next year with an expected Sunset date. Please feel free to contact us at any time if you have any questions regarding your existing hardware or services.

The Catholic church remains a formidable lobby. Last autumn it orchestrated a letter-writing campaign to MPs on a scale that cowed the government into giving up on plans to improve the mix of pupils in faith schools. This year it also came close to blowing a hole through gay-rights legislation when it demanded an exemption for religious adoption agencies. Of course, the church is a free association with every right to lobby - as it did to good end, for example, on the issue of developing-world debt. On abortion, however, it must be resisted.
Cardinal O'Brien's view that the smallest cluster of embryonic cells is the moral equal of a fully formed child is extreme - there are parallels with an animal-liberation campaigner demanding full human rights not only for chimps but also for snails. Yet he may hold the position sincerely, and as an assertion of the absolute it cannot be dismissed in logic. It is hard to imagine, however, that he cannot see that the grief and fear engendered by the 1996 mass murder at Dunblane gives it dimensions that make direct comparison with the disposal of unwanted foetuses inappropriate. Does he really believe that the two are equivalent, or is he using emotive words to grab attention and remind a Scottish political system in flux that his church is a force to be reckoned with?
Regardless of what is made of the cardinal's abstract moralising, his argument for changing the law unravels on practical grounds. Making abortion illegal does not prevent it from happening, but drives it underground where it is dangerous to women. Mike Leigh's film Vera Drake made the point powerfully in regard to the past but, despite the impression the church gives, women still struggle to get the terminations they require - especially now that increasing numbers of doctors are refusing to get involved, as the Royal College of Obstetricians has recently warned.
A better service would eliminate waits of up to eight weeks, reducing the need for the late abortions that arouse the deepest anxieties. At the same time, the annual total of around 200,000 abortions might be reduced if contraceptive services were more comprehensive. Cardinal O'Brien should give that some thought.

Come Closer | Wizkid
I think in an earlier post I stated that I thought Brits were taking over in music (and really, many aspects of entertainment--acting, modeling, etc.). However, I must now change that statement to say that international artists from all over are in fact dominating right now. #Wizkid, a Nigerian singer/songwriter, is not new to the music game, but more recently he's becoming recognizable in the States. After this collaboration with Drake, more recognition probably won't be too far off. The track is definitely going to played in reggae spots and I could see it making it's way more mainstream. Drake is keeping true to his new-found Jamaican roots *insert eye roll* and does what you can expect from Drake on this type of production. Solid song that I wouldn't mind practicing some African dance moves to.

Business History as a Platform for Progress
Business and Labour History Group symposium
Friday, 11 August at 9am
Level 7, WF Building
56 Wakefield Street
AUT City Campus
This was a half-day symposium hosted by the Business and Labour History Group. The event was in two parts, the first being the presentation of four papers in progress, and the second being a discussion on history at AUT.
The first paper presented by Geoffrey T. F. Brooke (AUT Economics) and written with co-authors Anthony M. Endres (Economics, University of Auckland), and Alan J. Rogers (Economics, University of Auckland) was entitled "The Economists and New Zealand Population: Problems and Policies 1900–1980s" and charted shifting policy advice on population over the period. In particular the paper examined the shift to population expansion and the promotion of immigration coextensive with the policy of planned industrialization prior to liberalisation in the early 1980s, at which point planned policy lapsed. As immigration and population remain central to contemporary debates the papers offers lessons that may inform modern debate on population policy.
Themes of population and economic policy were continued as Fiona Hurd (AUT International Business) presented "Perfect Storm, Serendipity or a Brief Reprieve: The localised impacts of a decline in coal mining, global oil crisis, "Think Big", and the development of New Zealand's largest power station." This paper reviewed the 'Think Big' political agenda of the mid 1970s to early 1980s, focusing on the development of New Zealand's largest power station, the Huntly Power Station. Exploring the links between national macro-economic agenda, industry policy and localised workforces from the 1970s to the present, the paper add context to the view that these projects assessments as failures, resulting only in an increase in government debt. As National publicly-funded such as the large scale infrastructure developments proposed in China and by the Trump Administration in the United States are back in vogue, this paper offered valuable insights to New Zealand's record and potential future actions in this area.
David Williams (AUT Hospitality & Tourism; Management) also re-evaluated a precursor to the 'think big' agenda with a review of the New Zealand tourist hotels in "From Cinderella to Nigella: A short history of employment relations and food in New Zealand tourist hotels." Whilst the formation of this group has often been assessed as an example of government's inability to run business profitably, Williams shows the far-reaching benefits that emerged over time from the project. Also keying into immigration and labour the paper explored how the foreign-trained chefs and staff changed the food culture and hospitality industries, not only forming a core part of the shift to a high-value tourism economy, but also laying the foundations of our current food culture. In particular the labour unions desire to block immigrants from certain areas led to a different developmental path from Melbourne for example. Lively debate linked all the papers which shared key themes, contemporary relevance and historical periods and demonstrated that in understanding current debates history can indeed offer a platform for progress.
Contributions to theory were offered in the final paper from Simon Mowatt (AUT B&LHG), which asked if "the development of relational marketing was a post-war phenomenon? Evidence from history". This paper shifted the focus to the trans-Atlantic development of relational marketing by publishing firms in the first half of the twentieth century. With strategies such as forming the Good Housekeeping Institute companies such as Hearst developed mechanisms which provided deep links to both consumer and advertising customers, showing evidence of deep relational marketing at the core of the firm's activities, which were quickly internationalised to the British market, and then beyond.
The second part of the event looked a how history can be a platform for progress for how a business school offers value to students and society. Attendees from several faculties attended and joined a guided discussion to consider the role of history at AUT. Professor Rob Allen updated the group on the History@AUT project and the History Minor. Simon Mowatt outlined curriculum developments internationally, and the session closed with an open discussion.

shuffle: The High Priestess
words + playlist: Zoë Madonna
Click here for more information on our SHUFFLE series.
At many points along the Fool's journey through the Major Arcana, two consecutive cards create a natural pair of opposites. And the first of these is the Magician and the High Priestess.
It's almost a universal in Tarot writing that discussion of the Magician and High Priestess will mention "masculine v. feminine" energy, but the amount that I buy that ranges from "very little" to "not at all" depending on how I'm feeling. And when I do consider that, it's never the first thing I think of.
Rant time: as a feminine person, I am so often reduced to a void in the Tarot. Feminine passivity, feminine yin. I call bullshit. I am not a blank to be filled.
Intentional silence is presence in itself, sometimes requiring more presence of mind than speech. The decision to explore the subconscious, emotions, and mystery is as active as an outward manifestation of will. It's frequently easier to be active than passive in this world, in this country, where we are taught from the time we can walk that we are only worth what we produce. Gender essentialism in Tarot can stuff it.
The High Priestess is pushed aside in modern America. Magicians can survive under capitalism. Most who would have you believe they are High Priestesses are Magicians in High Priestess robes. Capitalism is antithetical to everything about the High Priestess. They can neither be bought nor sold.
The Ostara Tarot has been one of my favorite decks since the time I got it last fall. Its High Priestess, illustrated by Krista Gibbard, could be the twin sister of Julia Iredale's Magician. The Magician is submerged in water from the mouth downward, while the High Priestess's eyes are hidden. Both have light hair and smooth faces. One manifests outward, actively guiding a traveler through the labyrinth. The other looks inward; you have to come to her, because she won't come to you.
When the High Priestess appears in a reading, she's telling you to listen inward. To me, much of the High Priestess's domain is beyond words. As soon as I try to translate it into spoken or written language, it frequently loses depth and meaning.
And so, to connect with the High Priestess, I look for music where words aren't the focus. I vibe with experimental flavors of instrumental music. Or if there are voices involved, they stretch language and sound like Silly Putty.
Perhaps coincidentally, most of these artists aren't too active on social media. They're not aggressive self-promoters. You probably wouldn't hear them talk about "their brand." (Ugh. Hate that phrase.)
Music that encourages to go inside yourself and hear your own thoughts will always belong, in some way, to the High Priestess. When I need or want to pull some cards in a public place like a cafe or a library, I'll usually click over to this playlist. Headphones on, world off.
John Luther Adams - Canticles of the Holy Wind III. Dream of the Hermit Thrush
Composer John Luther Adams considers the huge and the tiny aspects of the natural world when he writes. This movement and some others from "Canticles of the Holy Wind" are based on a birdcall, one of the first songs the earth knew.
If you have forty minutes to spare, look up his Pulitzer-winning "Become Ocean," listen on a set of good headphones or speakers, and make sure nothing interrupts you.
Boards of Canada - Corsair
Sailing smooth, hovering on a single note, yet still it moves around that core.
Julianna Barwick - Labyrinthine
Seeing her in a small stone chapel at Oberlin College was a holy experience. That's all her voice, multi-tracked and layered. She said when she started recording her "Nepenthe" album in Iceland, she didn't have anything written ahead of time. She waited for it to rise to the surface.
Cocteau Twins - Those Eyes, That Mouth
"See, I find that mine [lyrics] don't have any meanings. They're not proper. Although I've got a great dictionary of them….They don't mean anything, though, that's the thing. You know all the transcendent sounds. It's all sound all the way through." - Liz Fraser of Cocteau Twins, on her lyrics.
Grouper - Heavy Water/ I'd Rather Be Sleeping
Liz Fraser plays with words, syllables, and sounds like a bird playing with a mirror. Listen closely and the words just get blurrier. If you do the same with Grouper, you'll hear that she's definitely singing in English, but it's intentionally hidden thick haze of sound. In both cases, I'd rather let the sound just be.
Fennesz - Rivers of Sand
If the High Priestess from Marie White's haunting Mary-El Tarot was a character in a video game, I believe this would be playing in the background when you meet her.
Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith - Existence in the Unfurling
The modular synthesizer creates lush forests of sound. Artificial electrical signals morph into firing synapses and twitching antennae.
Ascenso - Balún
If you see Angelica Negrón perform this live, those luminous synth melodies might be coming out of vegetables hooked up to controllers.

The other day, one of my aiki-betters made the comment on an online forum, "You can't learn to do soft till you know how to do hard." And although that's pretty much how I developed as a martial artist, the statement of it that way struck me as interesting and unique. The first question that sprang to mind was, "WHY does it have to be that way?" and upon further consideration, I think I can answer my own question.
It seems to me that you have to start with go (hard) before you can get ju (yielding) because "ju" means something different to everyone you ask. You tell a group of newbies to "be soft" and some become flaccid while others remain hard. Some try to do the "when pushed, pull" thing and others try to do the "no be there" thing. Some are working on tactile invisibility while others are working in slow motion. Then you have some guys in the corner "closing the waki" isometrically so you cant see them applying strength and still others stare into space and chant, "ommmmm."
But then you tell someone, "be strong." and you jostle them a time or two or slap them on the chest or shoulder and they make a pretty good approximation of the kind of stance and posture and body management and mindset youre talking about.
Reminds me of a training paradigm that Nick Lowry posted a while back for jodo (but it applies elsewhere too). Basically, Nick says you start out with big, all-inclusive motion, then after you get the hang of it, you make it strong, and from there you move to fast, then light.
"Big-Strong-Fast-Light" appears to me to address the same ideas as "you can't do soft until you know how to do hard."

More Good News!
I just received a card in the mail from Becca and Doug. It looks like they've added a cute little girl named Wendy to their family.
An experiment in public thought.
More Good News!
Hooray! Beccaspawn!
Egads! This isn't one of the SIGNS is it?
Oops! THanks was me! =)
That's great! Why haven't we heard from her in years? Those spawn have got to be working her to DEATH!
My premature death only means I can haunt you, you Monkeys! Bwahahahah!
No, the rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated. The rumors of my post-partum fatness and isolation, sadly, have not. Hooray for spring and getting out of the house!

It's no secret – WHO you surround yourself with matters.
Motivational speaker and self-help guru Jim Rohn said, "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with."
Whether it be your family, friends, romantic partners, or coworkers, who you come into contact with the most has an immense impact on how you feel, what you think and what you do.
To attract positive, supportive, loving, fun and happy relationships, embrace these 7 ways:
1. Love Yourself First: Your are and always should be the #1 person on your list of people you love. If you want to attract positive love in your life… you must BE positive love, which means loving yourself as you are. How well you really know yourself matters. Take the time to think about what makes you YOU. When you are your authentic self, you will attract authentic people into your life.
2. Don't WORRY: The right person will come along at the right moment. Keep on keepin' on and doing things that make you feel fulfilled, happy and vibrantly alive. Which leads to…
3. Cut Off Complaints: Complaining will do absolutely nothing in regards to moving you towards your goals and attracting positive relationships in your life. What it WILL do is attract other people that like complaining, resulting in negativity. It's natural to vent every once once in awhile, but set boundaries to keep excessive complaining out of your life.
4. Acknowledge The Past: Yup, stuff happens. Your past makes up part of who you are, BUT by no means should you continue to live in it! Take those lessons learned and walk away. Healing from past injuries hurts, whether they are emotional, physical, or psychological – BUT, healing is necessary in order to move on and attract positive relationships.
5. Understand That Rejection Is Great: So the person didn't call when they said they would or never called back. I have one word for you – NEXT! Whether someone is judging you based on your looks or they don't respect your time, that person has NO reason to continue being in your life. A truly positive person will not only be clear with how he/she feels, but will also back it up with his/her actions. He/she will also want to get to know the REAL you (crazy morning hair and breath and all).
6. Don't Let Anyone Take Your Power: Stand up for what you believe in. Once again, YOU have your own opinions, thoughts and feelings – don't allow your potential partners to influence your perception of yourself or take that power away.
7. Love EVERY Moment: Like attracts like. Therefore, positive people attract positive people. Learn how to see the good in every person, place and thing… and when faced with challenging times (which you will be at some point), look for the lesson or blessing in every occasion.
The 7 ways described above are not overnight solutions to finding the relationship of your dreams. It takes consistent action and effort on your part to embody the characteristics of a positive person.
But then… "someday… someone will walk into your life and make you realize why it never worked out with anyone else." – unknown
