I've written several times before about the association between sleep and death, and these tombstones exemplify another association – not only are the deceased characterized as being in slumber, but they are sleeping safely with their Savior, Jesus Christ. The families of the dead must have taken solace from this perspective on death and what comes after.

One of my favorite decorative elements on old tombstones are the little rosettes and carvings that appear on the shoulders of the stone.

To the memory of Esther
Wife of Smith B. Clampitt
Formerly of New Jersey and late of Philadelphia, PA.
who died March 26, 1835
Esther Clampitt was a well-traveled person for her time. Of course, I've been to Philadelphia and Cleveland and parts of New Jersey several times, but I live in a world of cars and planes. She lived in a world of horses and shoe leather. The journey from New Jersey to Philadelphia to Cleveland would have been very different in her world of 200 years ago. I do historical re-creation, but I sometimes wonder how well any of us would do with the physicality required of living in earlier times, without the innovations that accomplish a lot of the bodily exertion that peoples before us would have done as a matter of course.

One of the most common euphemisms for death that you find on tombstones is the phrase "departed this life." I found it on E. L. Crane's tombstone in Adams Street Cemetery in Berea.
It's on Louise Keppler's tombstone on Erie Street Cemetery in Cleveland.
It appears on Mary Ann Matter's tombstone in Old Carlisle Cemetery in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
Though lost to sight
Posted in Morbid Musings, tagged civil war, cleveland, epitaphs, erie street cemetery, ohio, soldier, veteran on January 16, 2012| Leave a Comment »
The epitaph on the stone, "Though lost to sight to memory dear," is, according to my cursory research, a both a popular epitaph and an enigma. In 1880, a London newspaper published a song with that title and with that line as a refrain, stating the song had originally been published in an earlier magazine in 1703 by one Ruthven Jenkyns. However, the "earlier magazine" did not seem to have ever existed, and the whole story seemed to be an invention.

Over 25,000 UK motorists sold their car for scrap in 2013, receiving an average of £147.54 each. In light of this, a scrap metal expert is revealing top industry tactics that will help motorists get a higher price for their end-of-life vehicles.
Remove My Car which works with a network of Authorised Treatment Facilities (ATFs) throughout the UK, has experienced a fall in the national average for scrap car prices over the past 12 months compared to the previous 12 months. One of the most important things to do when getting your car scrapped, according to Remove My Car, is to ensure all of the parts are still on the car. Motorists who remove wheels prior to obtaining a quote will be faced with having £10 knocked off the final figure for each wheel that it is missing and risk not having the car collected at all, due to a different recovery vehicle required to collect a car without wheels. Most scrap car companies will even refuse to pick up a vehicle that hasn't got its wheels as the transport of it will be made that much more difficult.
End-of-life vehicles missing an engine will fetch £67.50 less than those with the engine still intact, which is almost half of the average value. Removing a catalytic converter will see £30 taken off an average quote. Furthermore, a car without its battery will fetch £10 less and if the shell is missing the car has no scrap value at all.
Remove My Car has revealed that it has been known for some scrap car dealerships to reduce the value of their quotes towards the end of the month as a way of managing their workload, with many dealers being fully booked or close to fully booked due to road tax expiring. A way of preventing themselves from over-committing to customers is to reduce their competitiveness at this stage, so motorists who do their research early in the month when the dealers may be offering competitive prices are likely to receive a higher quote.
Another handy tip from Remove My Car is to remove the tax disc from the car and send it to the DVLA for a refund, though it's better to do this before the end of a month, otherwise the next month will not be included in the refund. Avoid a dealer that claims their value includes the tax disc, as this is simply not the case as tax discs have their own value.
As a consequence of the recent cash ban introduced late last year, car breakers as well as scrap metal dealers are now required by law to obtain a copy of photograph identification and a recent utility bill less than three months old from the car seller, when collecting a car for scrap.
Steve Queen, owner of Remove My Car, is keen to educate motorists about the scrap car process to ensure that they always receive the very best, honest, fair price for their end of life vehicle. "What we're trying to get across is that it's so easy for you to get extra money for your end-of-life vehicle, you just need to be made aware of how it's possible. We don't want to short-change our customers because not only is it unethical it also means they probably wouldn't use us again."

That tree needs to come down – I say. It has a sprawling habit and it is invasive. [And it's very close to the future site of the Writer's Shed.]
Can I use your chainsaw?
I have never used a chainsaw. I know that they are unsafe. But Ed has a good one, with features that surely will keep the chain from disengaging and hitting my limbs. Besides, most bad accidents (90%, according to Minnesota website) happen from branches falling. This tree, as I said, is thick, but low.
You need chaps. I don't have chaps. [chaps are leg guards]
Okay. I understand. I'll be super careful. Super super careful.
Wear protective eye stuff and ear guards. And know that this is a dangerous tool.
Forewarned. But not about this essential element: cutting through tree limbs is damn hard work!
I now add to my skills this: a very half-assed knowledge of and comfort level with chainsaws. (I once told someone that I am an encyclopedia of half-assed knowledge.)
Meanwhile, Cha keeps to his planting regiment in the neighboring field and the willow branches sway this way and that and really, it is a fine day.
P.S. Let me add this on the subject of chainsaws: Even though most people don't die from chainsaw accidents, they do lose limbs and other precious commodities. Sure, people die in cars with a millionfold greater frequency. But I read about chainsaw injuries on the Net. Gruesome! So, my 101 here is important: be very very careful when you come anywhere near a chainsaw and protect yourself in all ways. With chaps, eyeguards, the whole shebang. Otherwise, it's like this: the chain slips at a speed you can't even imagine and hits you in one place or another and then you've got yourself a major headache.

Build Space Saving Kitchen Tables
Space saving kitchen tables – Small homes and buildings of tiny shops often mean a lot less room for furniture in the common spaces. If you're dealing with a tight and dining room combination creates a table for dining that allows you to space saving kitchen tables by folding it once you've finished using it. Separates the two halves of the table. Use a table that was originally used with sheets of wood in the center to expand its surface and has removable metal legs.
12 Picture Gallery: Build Space Saving Kitchen Tables
Place the space saving kitchen tables against a wall with its center touching the wall. Have a friend help you keep it in the correct position. Place a level on the table to make sure the surface is level. Draw a line on the wall above the top of the table. Trace also other marking on the wall at the bottom of the table.
Marks the wall through holes in the hinge will indicate where the screws. Remove the table and separate it. Drill into the wall at the marked locations and places pressure bolts. Keep the table against the wall and screw the hinges to the wall studs pressure. Raise the surface of the space saving kitchen tables and put the legs in pockets or spaces.

A challenge to WWDC attendees: cement your connections
Every WWDC is a phenomenal opportunity to connect, learn and be inspired about the opportunities in our industry. The numbers don't lie: building great software is a more valuable skill every day and the number of people interested in our software is increasing at an extraordinary pace.
As the conference wraps up, we'd like to issue a challenge to you for the rest of your WWDC experience.
Cement your new connections.
Over the past several days you've probably met a few new people, made some new friends and shared a few pints/cocktails with people who were previously strangers.
Before you leave, grab a few of them and go hang out.
Spend some more time getting to know one another, whether it's over an espresso at Blue Bottle, a beer at the Chieftain or a bite at Ooola. Use the Beer Bash and the parties tonight to ensure that you've added another quality relationship to your repertoire.
Also, come join us for beers at Zeitgeist tomorrow.
For those of you who are around, the weather looks like it's cooperating so let's meet at Zeitgeist for beers, conversation and cementing your new connections. We'll be there around 4 and would love to see you! (note: although we're not hosting a happy hour we'll be buying a few of the pitchers to kick things off).
If there's enough interest from people (ping us on Twitter: @apptentive) we might organize a field trip out to Sam's in Tiburon for bloody marys, sun and ferry rides.

A large part of the DCLG's Call for Evidence on the home buying and selling process focuses on the role of estate agents, the work you carry out and the industry's regulatory structures, asking specifically whether there should be more regulation aimed at agents.
For those agents who have spent any length of time in this marketplace, the questions asked in the Call for Evidence will be of no surprise; indeed, you might surmise that you have been here before and will probably not be holding your breath in terms of seeing the changes you want to see, and delivering a real improvement in the process.
In fact, you might well believe that the problems involved in buying and selling property lie elsewhere in the process and that agents are in no way responsible.
Of course, you'd be well within your rights to say that, but I'm not so sure that this consultation is going to go the way of many others in the past. By this, I mean that we at the Conveyancing Association, having met with the DCLG on a number of occasions, believe change is coming, and that the Government is committed to delivering in this area.
Let's not forget that a minority Government has to choose its battles carefully in order to get the support it needs – while housing policy can be contentious, we don't get the sense that there is much in the way of opposition to improving the process and if it means some big-ticket, market-changing measures need to be introduced then so be it.
So, in our opinion, we have to start from a position that this is going to happen and probably happen quickly. But, what next? Well we've drawn up our initial response to the Call for Evidence which is currently being shared with members however I wanted to provide some detail on our initial thinking, specifically on the questions related to agents.
At the outset, I should make it clear that this is not a question of blame. I think we're all aware of the challenges right across the piece and, in our response, we highlight that agents are, in general, just as hamstrung as conveyancers by the system.
Our view is that we need to inject more certainty into the process, and a greater degree of clarity for all concerned – one of the ways we do feel this could be achieved is via binding offers, perhaps in the form of reservation agreements as we have in new-build, which would mean less discomfort for agents and their clients. Plus, it might dial down the level of stress that many feel when going through the process.
Another area which is highlighted in the Call for Evidence is around the complaints process and whether consumers are aware of where they go to make those complaints.
Our view is that there is plenty of information available on who to complain to, whether that is the redress schemes or the National Trading Standards (NTS). Our issue is around the resource available to those that hear and judge those complaints – NTS, in particular, appears to be seriously under-resourced issuing just 11 prohibition notices last year.
NTS is also reliant on Local Trading Standards to enforce the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 (CPR), particularly in relation to marketing and advertising of property, which the Property Ombudsman's annual report said was the second most commonly complained about issue.
If this isn't being complied with by agents then consequently buyers are not provided with sufficient information prior to offer, and can therefore be exposed to some 'nasty surprises' during the conveyancing process, by which time it's often too late to do anything as they're already emotionally and financially invested in the property.
We believe there needs to be effective enforcement of CPRs to provide home buyers with a better moving experience.
On the wider issue of more regulation for agents, we're not of the opinion that this is necessary. Our view, as outlined above, is that better enforcement of the existing regulation would provide just as much benefit, as ripping up that regulation and effectively starting again or pushing more regulation on top.
NTS is responsible for existing regulation but has a miniscule budget of £250k in order to be able to police the entire market – that's simply not sufficient and, as time goes by, with inflation and the like its ability to do more with a limited budget will continue to be hindered.
The big question is how that resource is paid for and, here is where we might well differ with agents, because it's our belief that estate agents themselves need to pay for its provision in order to enable the fair and proper operation of the system.
Our view is that it's not in the best interests of those agents who are complying with the CPR to have others in their sector, flagrantly doing the opposite. Far better we think to up that resource, police it effectively and send a message that such activities are not part of a 21st Century home-buying process.
There is still some time to debate these issues and many others, and we would certainly like the estate agent community to engage with this, and if possible, to attend our Annual Conference on the 7th of December.
The closing date for the Call for Evidence consultation is the week after and such input would allow us to firm up our views, suggestions and proposals, for what is likely to be a ground-breaking moment for our industry.

Coastal Erosion as a Social Practice
To understand the emerging and uneven geographies of sea change, I look at practices of coastal reclamation and social relationships with erosion across space and time, from colonial encounters to development schemes and climate adaptation. Not only do humans cause erosion, they formulate ideas about erosion that can lead to social conflict and increased vulnerability to sea change. My earlier work on the history and politics of seawalls in Guyana examined how encounters with erosion altered the coastline, resulting in the development of a two-hundred mile sea defense structure. My dissertation examined this problem on a greater spatial and temporal scale by tracing the long history of coastal countermeasures in the Netherlands and introducing the case of the Maldives, where a seawall built by the Japanese harbors similar conflicts. Through the interwoven stories of Guyana, the Netherlands, the Maldives, and Japan, I show how these encounters fuel social conflict, transform the coast, and shape the politics of climate change adaptation. This work was awarded the Winifred and Louis Lancaster Dissertation Award in Social Sciences, an honor given to one dissertation every two years at UC Santa Barbara.

Political Cultures of Resistance and the Climate Justice Movement
A second theme of my work is focused on ideas about climate justice and struggles to mitigate the uneven impacts of climate change. I have written about the specific case of the Maldives, a small island nation once at the forefront of the climate justice movement, as well as youth activists at the U.N. Climate Treaty Negotiations in Warsaw, Poland. I have also written on the concept of "Marine Environmental Justice" with members of the Mellon-Sawyer Seminar on Sea Change at UC Santa Barbara. In 2013, I co-founded the Climate Justice Project to bring scholars and activists together in a mission to "re-imagine the world in which we live in order to make way for new possibilities." I am currently working on an edited volume with Azra Naseem and John Foran to address the hidden social and cultural aspects of climate change in the Maldives by bringing together a range of insights from scholars and activists who link the struggle for the future to the struggle for democracy.

Climate Adaptation and the Shifting Geographies of Beach Sand
My future research involves connecting the politics of climate adaptation to the emerging field of Anthropocene Studies. I am a newcomer to this area, but have plans to engage in a relational ethnography of sand extraction to understand the social and geological forces that leave some populations vulnerable to sea change while allowing others to engage in projects of coastal resiliency. In this new study, I am interested in the movement of sand as inextricably linked to social and environmental injustices that are often overlooked by climate adaptation discourses and practices. As a UC President's Postdoctoral Fellow at UC Santa Cruz, I served as a discussant for Anna Tsing's workshop on the theme of "Planetary Transitions: Critical Landscape Ecologies of the Anthropocene" and I will be presenting preliminary research at the upcoming "Development in Question" conference at Cornell University.

"There will be a time – I don't know when, I can't give you a date – when physical money is just going to cease to exist." -Economist Robert Reich.
Aaron Dykes
August 31, 2012
"We want you to be able to leave your leather wallet at home."
That's the stated goal from Google Wallet, who is offering new incentives to leave behind plastic credit cards, cash and goad the techno-generations into learning to love the cashless control grid long plotted by technocrats and their one world banker allies.
The digital platform is phasing in I.D. verification, including digital driver's licenses, along with a slew of features meant to appeal to consumer convenience, including downloadable coupons, loyalty cards, and e-tickets– putting totally digital, cashless systems closer than ever. With verified identity credentials, users could check in for flights, download virtual boarding passes and even prove who they are, all while phasing out the need for physical documents and even plastic cards.
"Mobile wallets are even more abstract than cards… They are one step farther away from the reality of handing over cash," assistant professor of marketing at Oregon State University College of Business, Michelle Barnhart, told Market Watch.
GPS tracking technology is already integrated into the platform in order to direct targeted coupons, special deals and ads towards location-specific promotions at shops within the user's proximity. The Google Wallet already works in partnership with 200,000 locations across the nation.
And clearly, digital payment interfaces are expanding rapidly as well. Walmart, for example, is testing smart phone based scan-and-go checkout points that may replace or phase out human cashiers in the years to come. Walmart has already been on the cutting edge of high-technology inventory controls, including its role in mandating and standardizing RFID tracking from point-of-origin, through shipping distribution points, and onto store shelves.
The system is not only trying to entice tech-friendly users into ditching physical monies, IDs and related documents to join the larger control-grid, but is openly celebrating the technology-driven triumph over privacy concerns as well.
Clearly, the next generation is being conditioned to accept total control through umbrella user IDs that would manage all bank accounts, identity & access authorization, tax rates & compliance and more under one centralized database system.
"Those using this technology, the bulk of whom are under 40 years of age, care less about who knows their whereabouts or their buying habits," commented retail analyst Jeff Green.
While CreditCards.com spokesman Ben Woolsey added, "In the digital age, privacy is becoming a quaint and fleeting notion."
Security issues, like those that could arise if smart phones carrying identity & payment chains are hacked or stolen, have been acknowledged but largely downplayed, despite the public's reluctance thus far to adopt such measures in large numbers. Total integration of digital data, along with the hailed benefits of convenience commerce, is trending if not taking over altogether.
Google's own shady record in maintaining the privacy of users has long ended the idea of 'doing no evil' in its quest for total information and ubiquitous digital dominance.
Leading firms are trying now to give incentives to adopt these cashless, and totally digital systems, while media and governments have been working for years to demonize the use of cash as the activity of potential criminals and terrorists and drive populations onto the digital architecture designed to control the peoples.
A 2010 piece on CNBC and accompanying column in the New York Times, for instance, encouraged the idea of 'turning in your bin Ladens' (i.e. abandoning cash) while selling the idea that it enables terrorist organizations and is thus doing harm, while 2011 saw the emergence of FBI flyers warning coffee shops and other small businesses to regard paying in cash, even for small items, as potentially suspicious and worthy of report.
Under the unfolding economic crisis, nations across Europe have passed laws banning the payment of cash over certain nominal thresholds, for example limiting "legal" transactions to €2500 or a comparable amount in numerous countries. Meanwhile, Louisiana has led the way in the United States by banning the use of cash in second-hand transactions in the name of curbing illicit, black market trade.
IBM, among others has revealed its agenda to replace passwords and the like with biometric identifiers such as iris and fingerprint scans under a widening techno-control grid.
With the death of cash, and even physical/digital cards, goes our remaining independence, as a system controlled centrally by authorities has the power to sanction individuals and/or force entry into the 21st century systems of high-tech dominance– or cut off all access to society, dooming non-acceptors to a digital exile and a long, cold techno-winter with little future in sight.
We are now accepting pre-orders for our healthy and delicious storable food. Stock up today!

When I announced this project, I posted what I was doing on my Facebook account. I told my friends and family what I was up to and why my account was about to suddenly go dark. I didn't stick around for comments or a quick scroll down the Newsfeed. Instead, I immediately logged out.
I left the post up for a few days to allow the message to spread and today I went in to deactivate my accounts. Facebook was easy – I just went in and deactivated without too much thought. When I logged into Instagram, though, the top post on the page (I didn't scroll, I swear guys!) was someone I've been following religiously for the last year and a half. The ease of deactivating Facebook, contrasted sharply with the FOMO I feel with deactivating Instagram.
Everything isn't gray, sad, and lonely though. It's been three days since this project has began and I already feel like I have more free time in the day.
I've wanted to learn how to juggle for about 6 months now – and about a month ago I bought some racquetballs to practice with. Without too much thought, I put them upstairs on the counter. Now, whenever I have a free moment, I find myself reaching for juggling balls rather than for my phone.
It wasn't an intentional substitute – but it's been working great! Here's a really short video of my terrible juggling (I'm up to 64 juggles!) –
Hope y'all are having a wonderful start to the week!
(as a reminder, I don't intend on posting daily throughout this project. The goal is to take a digital fast from social media for 365 days!)

THE 2017 Kia Picanto due to be unveiled in Geneva next month could come with one model packed with enough of the buzzwords to make driving enthusiasts salivate – and could even one day carry a GT badge.
Kia overnight pulled the covers off its third generation of the light city-friendly hatchback revealing a car that fits in the same dimensions as the old one, but with modern looks.
But delve deeper through the press kit, and there are a few signs the Picanto has the potential to be more than just another boring shopping trolley.
The first is the choice of engines. We'll probably get a new 62kW/122Nm 1.2-litre four-cylinder engine in the base model, but among the mix could be something that's caught our eye: a 74kW/172Nm turbocharged three-cylinder powerplant mated exclusively to a five-speed manual gearbox.
Kia Australia is believed to be keen to bring the manual Picanto to Australia – some customers at the price-driven edge of the Australian new car market would much prefer to have it over the four-speed automatic, not to mention it would allow Kia to shed about $1500 off the price of the entry-level model – adding weight to the idea the turbo triple is under serious consideration.
Then there's the body. As part of the generational leap, the 2017 Picanto includes more ultra high-strength steel, meaning less metal, and therefore weight, is needed. Combined with more structural adhesive designed to reduce scuttle shake, the Picanto has improved torsional rigidity by a claimed 32 percent.
Underneath, the Picanto will keep its MacPherson strut front end and torsion beam rear. However, the wheelbase has stretched 15mm as the front wheels move further forward, and the roll bars are 2.0 percent stiffer at the front and sit lower while the rear one is 5 percent stiffer and built higher into the reshaped axle featuring redesigned trailing arms.
Not only that, but Kia says the new Picanto's steering is quicker, and electronic torque vectoring – using the brakes to help rotate the Picanto in a corner – is potentially part of the package.
If it comes here, the most expensive Picanto-badged car in Kia's line-up will likely wear the GT-Line badge that has already rolled out to other models in the Korean carmaker's showroom, including the Sportage and Kia Sorento SUVs, and the Cerato. However, so far the GT-Line package is more about offering extra levels of luxury than additional dollops of performance.
Kia says the turbocharged three-cylinder engine will launch on the global market late this year.
The carmaker has indicated it is keen to add a performance sub-brand to its showroom, similar to how sister brand Hyundai is close to rolling out its first N-badged model, the 202kW Hyundai i30 N.
Like Hyundai, Kia says rolling out products under a planned GT badge, due in about 2019, would have to include significant performance upgrades.

In this paper, we present an efficient Computer Generated Integral Imaging (CGII) method, called multiple ray cluster rendering (MRCR). Based on the MRCR, an interactive integral imaging system is realized, which provides accurate 3D image satisfying the changeable observers' positions in real time. The MRCR method can generate all the elemental image pixels within only one rendering pass by ray reorganization of multiple ray clusters and 3D content duplication. It is compatible with various graphic contents including mesh, point cloud, and medical data. Moreover, multi-sampling method is embedded in MRCR method for acquiring anti-aliased 3D image result. To our best knowledge, the MRCR method outperforms the existing CGII methods in both the speed performance and the display quality. Experimental results show that the proposed CGII method can achieve real-time computational speed for large-scale 3D data with about 50,000 points.

Your scar is much neater than another friends of mine Hun xxReplyDelete
Is it?! I guess its a nice straight line, but its SO much darker than I thought it would be! :/Delete
Sparkles &
Good luck with the gel :) I have loads of stretch marks, not from giving birth, but from losing six stone a few years ago. They get my confidence down quite a bit and i've always been tempted to use scar reducing cream, but I feel that they have been there so long they might not disappear. Hoping to see positive results on you with this cream!ReplyDelete

Been lucky to catch up with friends on weekly Zooms. And am enjoying Palely Loitering by Hugh O'Keefe, who used to play piano at the Albury! A rollicking read, highly recommended. Read bits over the phone to a friend and we were giggling over the many funny anecdotes. Doris Karloff! GOLD!!
Category: Book reviews
The Best of James Herriot
Lots of gentle reminiscing about the days of old, farming in Yorkshire. It's about a vet in the 1940s (there was a TV series, All Creatures Great and Small.) When big draught horses were used before tractors, and it was pre-antibiotics. Also, his time spent serving inthe RAF during WWII. Many colour photos and line drawings. Amazing.
Concentration camps – book review
Due to the neo Nazis being in Chippendale, I refreshed my mind yesterday on concentration camps by reading Viktor Frankl's account of his time in Auschwitz and Dachau and others in Man's Search For Meaning. It was completely dire. He outlines the various ways people mentally coped.
He took the fatalist approach and a couple of times he made what seemed to be the "wrong" choices but luckily, those ended up being the right ones and he survived. (eg. to go on a truck or not; to look after typhoid patients and die of that …) It was impossible to know which way to jump, everything was so unpredictable.
Australian Style book review
It's a beautiful book. I bought it because I like interiors and was interested in a vision of "Australian" style. I couldn't find many references to Australia, though.
I used to work with Penfold, sub-editing her Source column, and, after reading this book, I can affirm she walks the walk. She always looked glamorous and always had bright, chirpy anecdotes. She'd always say we were brilliant at our work (page 31). She always had a humorous comment to make about a trip to Monte Carlo or a fashion faux pas or the latest mishap by the tradies. She'd send herself up in an Ab Fab Patsy kind of way.
Pooh, a bear of Very Little Brain returns
A new book has been written by David Benedictus. I read an extract on Sunday. It doesn't quite match the same tone and whimsiness of the A.A. Milne classical stories. It has the basic character traits right (which would be difficult to get wrong, since they're so thoroughly outlined on websites.)
Favourite original quotes, which I got from here:
"It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like 'What about lunch?' "
— Winnie the Pooh
"Just because an animal is large, it doesn't mean he doesn't want kindness; however big Tigger seems to be, remember that he wants as much kindness as Roo."
— Winnie the Pooh
"If you live to be 100, I hope I live to be 100 minus 1 day, so I never have to live without you."
— Winnie the Pooh
It's about the return of Christopher Robin (the real one died in 1995). I will definitely get it. Am struggling to get through Tony Abbott's Battlelines at the moment. A bit yawnful.
Brigid Delaney's This Restless Life book launch
It was packed out. $10 each at Gleebooks and Annabel Crabb did a great interviewing job. Brigid chatted about how the high-fliers with top jobs but on short-term contracts are portrayed in the media as having everything but really feel unhappy and anguished.
Got my book signed and chatted to an SMH reporter in the line next to me about a front page story the reporter had written recently. There was a bit of aggro from the lady behind us cos someone had pushed in and was having a lengthy conversation with Brigid – but had not bought a book to be signed! "Hey lady, are you getting a book signed or what?" the aggro person asked.
Several SMH people there supporting Brigid. She thanked me for giving it a kindly mention on Facebook.
The Catcher in the Rye – JD Salinger
Finished it last night. So depressing*. I hadn't read anything about it before except knew John Hinckley and Mark Chapman were fans. My summary written at 3am: "Am amazing study of someone who feels crap all the time."
While checking how to spell Hinckley, I just found this post that says serial killers have great taste in literature. Dunno if I'll read Stranger in a Strange Land.
I didn't realise Holden had ended up in an institution at the end – I just thought they had a psychoanalyst at his next school. And that he just "got sick" as a temporary thing. A bit disappointing.
Fave bits:
"Boy, I really fouled that up. I should've at least made it for cocktails or something."
"People always clap for the wrong things. If I were a piano player, I'd play it in the goddam closet." [NB: subjunctive.]
"And you could tell his date wasn't even interested in the goddam game, but she was even funnier-looking than he was, so I guess she had to listen. Real ugly girls have it tough. I feel so sorry for them sometimes."
"Which always kills me. I'm always saying 'Glad to've met you' to somebody I'm not at all glad I met. If you want to stay alive, you have to say that stuff, though."
"If you think I was dying to see him again, you're crazy."
"Newsreels. Christ Almighty. There's always a dumb horse race, and some dame breaking a bottle over a ship, and some chimpanzee riding a goddam bicycle with pants on."
"You take somebody that cries their goddam eyes out over phony stuff in the movies, and nine times out of ten they're mean bastards at heart. I'm not kidding."
"… I'd meet this beautiful girl that was also a deaf-mute and we'd get married. She'd come to live in my cabin with me, and if she wanted to say anything to me, she'd have to write it on a goddam piece of paper, like everybody else."
"I know more damn perverts, at schools and all, than anybody you ever met, and they're always being perverty when I'm around." 😉
*Not as depressing as The Game by Neil Strauss, though it's a great read.

With continued growth in requirements for consumer electronics, the Antennas & High Frequency Research Group, within the DIT School of Electronic & Communications Engineering, has capitalised on recent successes to expand their investigative portfolio.
While advancing design principles for antennas in portable communications and medical applications, the group has recruited new personnel with funding for antenna technologies in multimedia consumer electronics and renewable energy systems.
Their recent technology transfer initiative, supported by Enterprise Ireland's Commercialisation Fund for proof-of-concept prototyping, is focused on high performance, low cost Ultra Wideband (UWB) antennas. These enabling components are fundamental to an emerging standard for multimedia wireless communication between items in modern life, such as digital cameras, high definition screens, DVD players, mobile phones and computer printers. UWB will both eliminate the need for interconnecting cables and reduce data transfer times over short distances within living spaces at home or in the office.
Strengthened to three research associates and nine research students, the group has a range of simulation and measurement tools to facilitate solutions in wireless communications design. The group's work is aligned to the Centre for Telecommunications Value-Chain Research (CTVR) and benefits from collaboration with other academic groups and industrial partners.

Why I Deleted The Facebook App From My Smartphone
I work in the space of social media and it's a large part of my life. I enjoy Facebook and I like the fact that I can stay in touch with people all around the globe. I recently found myself trying to check my personal Facebook feed, way too many times per day while out and about. So, I deleted the app.
If I want to have things to write about here, I need to get out and experience life. If I want to have travel adventures to share with all of you, I need to be able to step away from social media now and then. Writing is a passion of mine, as is social media. If I want to get to know someone, I need to meet them at a local coffee shop and talk; not check Facebook every 10 minutes.
By eliminating the app, I will think twice about going through the extra steps to log in to Facebook. Don't get me wrong, the Facebook app is super easy and convenient to use. I love social media and all it has to offer, but I know that enough is enough. Spending three-four hours on my personal Facebook feed should be ample time on a daily basis, straight from my desk top or lap top. This does not include the time that I spend on other social media platforms, writing and gathering information.
I would like to think that I am getting smarter at how I am working. There's something to be said that another week of auction school made me think about how I am working. It was so much fun to be around encouraging, hard working individual students that attended World Wide College of Auctioneering this past week. Thank you to the June 2016 Class of World Wide College of Auctioneering for showing me the power of SnapChat and encouraging me to change up my marketing game.
I still have Facebook Messenger, Facebook Groups and Facebook Pages on my smart phone. So, as you can tell, I have not left Facebook, I'm just changing how I am using it. I'd love to hear how you are working smarter. Are you embracing new social media platforms? Are you changing things up a bit?
And who knows? Maybe I will find myself bored in an office while waiting for an appointment and guess what? The Facebook App is only a download away. I will keep you posted and let you know how this is working for me.

Introduction / HistoryTheir name reflects two words, "livelihood" and "water," because they made their living as fishermen. Though many still fish for a living, they aren't all professional fishermen.
Where are they located?Most live either in India's central state of Madhya Pradesh or neighboring Orissa. These two groups are entirely different from one another.
What are their lives like?The Katia people are mainly fishermen, though some worker as farm laborers. Others sell fish in the marketplace. Educated Katia women work as teachers or in office jobs. Katia people live in both extended and nuclear families.
What are their beliefs?The Katia people are Hindu. But as Dalits, they have such low status in the Hindu pecking order that they are running into trouble. In the last several years, latent hatred and distrust for the Dalits, or "untouchables," has escalated in Orissa. An Indian high court ruling in Orissa allowed Dalit people like the Katias to enter the Jagannath Temple, defying an age-old ban. History has proven that change comes with a high price, and in Orissa, many Dalits like the Katias have paid the price with their lives.
Some Dalits have not only entered temples, but performed rituals under police protection. Unfortunately this protection does not extend to outside the temple. Local villagers beat four Dalit women who were trying to enter the temple. Some priests have stopped the rituals and locked the temple's main gate. Many upper caste landowners have stopped giving work to people Dalits who attempt to defy their ancient ways.
The Katia worship Budima as their village deity, and the goddess Laxmi as their family deity. They also worship Ganesh, Shiva, and Kali.
What are their needs?The Katia people live in a part of India where there are few opportunities to hear the gospel.
Prayer PointsPray that the Katia people will have the opportunity to hear of and respond to Jesus Christ. Pray that they will worship Him alone and abandon their Hindu gods.

Is U.S. Patriotism Dead? [v89]
IS U.S. PATRIOTISM DEAD?— "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the"… you can probably sing the first stanza by heart. But have you ever stopped to consider the 'allusions' throughout the "Battle Hymn of the Republic"?
William Steffe wrote the catchy tune and original lyrics back in 1856, and the song's widespread popularity quickly led to alternate versions. But in 1861, after a visit to a Union Army camp, Julia Ward Howe wrote the poem, to meet a challenge by a friend, Rev. James Freeman Clarke. This song became perhaps the best-known Civil War song of the Union Army, and has come to be a well-loved American patriotic anthem.
As the long-awaited conflict between the South and the North began, fervent anti-slavery advocates, like Julia Ward Howe, felt that God's 'judgment' was about to fall. Indeed, President Lincoln shared this sentiment, from the same Biblical sources used by all the Protestant opponents of slavery. Listen to his immortal words, now partly enshrined on the Lincoln Memorial. Lincoln spoke these words during his Second Inaugural Address in 1865, just days before his assassination:
"All knew that this [slavery] interest was, somehow, the cause of the war… Yet, if God will that it [Civil War] continue, until all the wealth piled by the bond-man's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so shall it must be said, 'the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether'."
As you can see, President Lincoln viewed the Civil War as a war of God's 'judgments' delivered to a nation who had oppressively enslaved an entire people for almost 300 years! (Do you think there are issues today that could possibly be 'grave' enough to incur such 'judgement' for the U.S. in the future?)
So, in a few days, on July 4, in thousands of 'hamlets', loyal Americans will march in parades, as millions of their fellow citizens watch with pride. The passing of the 'Stars and Stripes' will cause many backbones to stiffen, bring smart salutes from the military, as well as the placing of hand over heart by those who pledge again their allegiance to "one nation under God."
But many of our people will offer no salutes, feel no sense of pride, and pledge no allegiance to our flag. Some will not respond because of indifference or calloused hearts. Others will be working to tear the fabric of our national life to shreds; to worsen, not heal, our sickness; to destroy, not to build; to bring disunity, not unity, to the nation. For them, patriotism is dead; love of country is archaic. Far from echoing the words of Stephen Decatur, "Our country, right or wrong," they will even refuse to say, "My country when it is right."
Perhaps the time has come for us to read again the stirring words of the Declaration of Independence:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience bath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed."
We would do well to ask: Has the time come for us to abolish what our forefathers created? Has their vision of liberty, justice, and happiness proved unattainable? Ought we now to burn the flag, send our congressmen home, and close the doors of the White House? (Well, maybe that's a bit 'extreme').
Has patriotism 'changed' in the past few hundred years? Webster's defines it as the "love of and devotion to one's country; the willingness to sacrifice for it." Today, for one, it's surely not as 'simple' as it was in the Civil War times.
If you check out some of the best-known quotes about patriotism back when, it was said to be the very "core of our democracy." Today, it seems to me to have been very much 'watered down' in its fervor—and even 'poo-pooed'.
So, are we ready to say that the mythos, the heroes, and the folk tales that have bound us together as a people for almost 200 years no longer enthrall us? Are we willing to forget our common heritage, dilute our sense of fraternity and destiny, and dissolve the cohesiveness that made us one?
The American 'dream' that drew millions of immigrants, as a magnet attracts metal, has not been wholly fulfilled. We are faced with grave and challenging problems in our national life. We see many things we dislike, and can point to many injustices that have not yet yielded to truth and righteousness. But even as we acknowledge the defects we cannot forget the victories. The slaves have been freed; universal suffrage has become a reality; startling advances have been made to assure all our people of life and liberty; as well as the right to pursue happiness.
Unlike millions of people in Russia, Czechoslovakia, China, and Cuba, our people walk as free men across our broad prairies and along our city streets; unlike the avant-garde Communist writers who languish in concentration camps or lie in unmarked graves, our people are able to write freely and to dissent vigorously, while the whole weight of government, court, and police protects them in their rights and in their persons.
We the people are free to 'worship' freely the god of our choosing—though historically our Founding Fathers and the government they set into place strongly encouraged Americans to follow the Judeo-Christian God of the Bible. This is reflected in such documents as our Constitution, many of the proclamations the government made then, and in many songs like the "Battle Hymn of the Republic."
Today, Americans tend to be very 'future-minded', and we rarely hear about the courageous acts of our Founding Fathers: their words; their selfless commitment to posterity; their reliance on the God of the Bible during the Revolutionary War and the Constitutional Conventions; and their purposeful infusion of a Biblically-guided moral ethic promoted among the citizenry.
We continue to be the longest on-going Constitutional Republic in the history of the world—and, in my opinion, blessings such as these are not by chance or accidental. They are blessings from God.
On July 2, 1776, Congress voted to approve a complete separation from Great Britain. Two days afterwards—on July 4th—the early draft of the Declaration of Independence was signed, albeit by only two individuals at that time: John Hancock, President of Congress, and Charles Thompson, Secretary of Congress. Four days later, on July 8, members of Congress took that document and read it aloud from the steps of Independence Hall, proclaiming it to the city of Philadelphia, after which the Liberty Bell was rung. The inscription around the top of that bell, Leviticus 25:10, was most appropriate for the occasion: "Proclaim liberty throughout the land and to all the inhabitants thereof."
Today, the TV news stations show me the turmoil going on in other nations, their struggles and multiple revolutions, and yet to see the relative stability and blessings that we have here in America. It makes me ask how has this been achieved. What was THE BASIS of American Independence?
Founding Father and Second President of the United States, John Adams said, "The general principles on which the Fathers achieved independence were the general principles of CHRISTIANITY." Perhaps the clearest identification of the spirit of the American Revolution was given by John Adams in a letter to Abigail the day after Congress approved the Declaration. He wrote her two letters on that day; the first was short and concise, jubilant that the Declaration had been approved. The second was much longer and more pensive, giving serious consideration to what had been done that day. Adams cautiously noted: "This day will be the most memorable epic in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival."
Here's an interesting question: Why was it that back in the late 1700's and early 1800's that the Fourth of July and Christmas were the two top holidays? Note Adams' answer: "Is it not that, in the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior? That it forms a leading event in the progress of the Gospel dispensation? Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer's mission upon earth? That it laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity?"
According to John Quincy Adams, Christmas and the Fourth of July were intrinsically connected. On the Fourth of July, the Founders simply took the precepts of Jesus Christ of which came into the world through His birth (celebrated during Christmas time) and incorporated those principles into civil government.
Have you ever considered what it meant for those 56 men—an eclectic group of ministers, businessmen, teachers, university professors, sailors, captains, and farmers—to sign the Declaration of Independence? This was a contract that began with the reasons for the separation from Great Britain and closed in the final paragraph stating, "And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor."
In addition to this, the 16 Congressional proclamations for prayer and fasting throughout the Revolution were not bland (i.e., the acknowledgment of Jesus Christ, the quoting of Romans 14:17, etc.); however, this is not unusual considering the prominent role that many ministers played in the Revolution.
The spiritual emphasis manifested so often by the Americans during the Revolution caused one Crown-appointed British governor to write to Great Britain complaining that: "If you ask an American who is his master, he'll tell you he has none. And he has no governor but Jesus Christ."
Letters like this, and sermons like those preached by the Reverend Peter Powers titled "Jesus Christ the King," gave rise to a sentiment that has been described as a motto of the American Revolution. Most Americans are unaware that the Revolution might have had mottoes, but many wars do. The motto of the American Revolution directed against the tyrant King George III and the theologically discredited doctrine of the Divine Right of Kings (which asserted that when the king spoke, it was the voice of God speaking directly to the people) was simple and direct: "No King but King Jesus!" Another motto (first suggested by Benjamin Franklin and often repeated during the Revolution) was similar in tone: "Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God."
We should not be surprised that the author of the Declaration of Independence thought that religious liberty was the first of freedoms, the foundation for all other liberties. That's why the First Congress put religious liberty first among the freedoms listed in the First Amendment. Thomas Jefferson went even further. He said an attack on religious liberty was an attack on liberty itself. "And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure, when we have removed their only firm basis–a conviction in the minds of the people that their liberties are the gifts of God, that they are not to be violated but with His wrath?"
Many countries have beautiful vistas, grand architecture, and stunning achievements to celebrate. But we Americans have all that and more—we have liberty—the liberty the Founding Fathers worked so hard to define—and then protect! They believed that we are "all created equal." And that our Creator is the One who endows us with our natural rights.
Today, that belief is challenged. In Europe, Canada, and here in America, a different view of human rights is being advanced. This view says that our rights are those–and only those–that we as a human community can agree upon. Again, Jefferson did not agree with our modern thought of "rights." He said "The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time." America's Founders agreed with Jefferson on this—and when he wrote the Declaration of Independence, he was not speaking only as one brilliant young delegate from Virginia. That document, he said, "was to be an expression of the American mind."
Let us rally behind our flag; let us 'love' our country with all its faults; let us work to improve it with all our strength; let us defend it with all our resources; let us hand it on to generations unborn better than it was when we received it; let us instill in our children the hope of our forefathers for the ultimate fulfillment of their dreams. But above all, let us tell them that the greatness of America lies not simply in the achievement of the ideal but in the unrelenting pursuit of God's 'will' for us. Let us become PASSIONATELY PATRIOTIC again!
It was once said that, "The day that patriotism ceases, that day we will have ceased to be a people." At this point, in my opinion, U.S. patriotism is not dead yet—but it surely needs a 'shot in the arm'!
As I have briefly shown, we have gone 'astray' from our founding principles. My 'prescription' would be that we need to get back to them—and becoming a "patriot" would be a great start in the right direction!
Preserving American liberty depends first upon our understanding the foundations on which this great country was built and then preserving the principles on which it was founded. Let's not let the purpose for which we were established be forgotten. The Founding Fathers have passed us a torch—let's not let it go out!
In addition to the Biblical foundations put forth by our Founding Fathers, the 'allusions' I hinted at in the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" were also all taken directly from the Bible (In order, by verse: Ezekiel 28:22-23; Revelation 14:18-20; Isaiah 34:6-10 and 63:1-4; 1 Samuel 13:5-14; Daniel 5:5; Revelation 20:11; Revelation 12:10-12; Revelation 18:20).
In conclusion, one of the stanzas Howe penned in the hymn captures my point better than I can:
"He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat:
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on."
For those who are 'adamant' about the 'separation of church and state' (another misconception for another time), I hope I have prompted you to investigate our founding further. You may not agree with it now, but at least you'll know the true history.
For me, even more than being patriotic, I think the only way we are going to 'transfigure' America, is to PUT GOD BACK IN 'CHARGE'. What do you think?

LIFE'S DEEP THOUGHTS (v89) for JULY 2006
If you have a 'neat' story or some thoughts about an issue or current event that you would like me to try to respond to, I would be glad to give it a try…so, send them to me at: firstname.lastname@example.com
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord:
_He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:
His truth is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps,
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps:
His day is marching on.
I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel:
"As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal;
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,
Since God is marching on."
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat:
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me:
As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.
[Julia Ward Howe]
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on Thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed His grace on Thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
[Katharine Lee Bates]
God bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her,
And guide her,
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains,
To the prairies,
To the oceans white with foam.
God bless America,
My home, sweet, home,
God bless America,
My home, sweet, home.
[Irving Berlin]
My country, 'Tis of Thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of Thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride:
From every mountainside,
Let freedom ring.
Our fathers' God, to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing;
Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light;
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God, our King!
[Samuel F. Smith]
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote! [Benjamin Franklin]

Prinsep, J.
1. The facts of this case are somewhat complicated; but when these facts are understood, no real difficulty arises in dealing with the case. Four persons, who are in the suit termed the third party defendants, viz., Dukharun Lall Dobay, Baiju Lall Dobay, Gopal Dobay, and Lalji Dobay, were the proprietors of a 2a. 13g. 1c. 1cr. share out of 10 annas out of the entire 16 annas of Mouza Shazadpore Dumduma, alias Rohimpore, and also of 2a. 13g. 2c. 1cr. of Mozufferpore Thatha. Both these properties are wholly situate in the district of Bhagalpore. There were four mortgages affecting this property. The first mortgage was by Dukharun alone in favour of Rughoonath Prosad. This mortgage is dated the 19th September 1872, and it was a mortgage of la. 4p. share of Shahzadpore Dumduma. The second mortgage is dated the 20th September 1872. It was executed by Dukharun Lall, Baiju Lall, Gopal Dobay and Lalji Dobay in favour of the plaintiff in the present suit, Soodist Lall, and the property covered thereby, consisted of the whole of the two shares above set forth, as also of other property which was situate in the district of Tirhoot, the two properties Shazadpore Dumduma and Muzufferpore Thatha being, as already stated, wholly situate in the district of Bhagalpore. The third mortgage is dated the 24th March, and was created by two deeds dated respectively the 24th March and 23rd April 1873. It was in favour of Rughoonath Sahoy, and the property mortgaged was the whole of the two shares already mentioned. The fourth mortgage is dated the 13th November 1874. It was executed by Dukhrarun Lall and Baiju Lall in favour of Deep Narain, and the property mortgaged was the whole of the above share in Mozufferpore, together with some other property. Upon these mortgage-bonds there were four suits. The first suit in point of time was brought by the third mortgagee, Rughoonath Saboy, who, on the 25th March 1874, obtained a decree, and sought to enforce his hen against the property mortgaged to him. In execution of this decree he brought to sale the interest of Dukharun Lall and Baiju Lall, and these interests were purchased on the 5th January 1875 by Chowdhry Bungsee Singh and others, who are the first party defendants in the present case, and are now the appellants before us. The second suit in point of time was brought by Gobind Lall, the assignee of the first mortgagee Rughoonath Prosad, and he obtained a decree on the 17th April 1874. In execution of this decree, he attached the 1a. 4p. share which was mortgaged by the first mortgage-deed on the 19th September 1872. An objection was there upon raised by the present appellants, to the effect that they had already purchased the interests of Dukharun Lall, and that objection was successful. Whereupon Gobind Lall instituted a suit against the appellants for the purpose of having the priority of his mortgage declared, and he obtained a decree on the 9th August 1876. In execution of this decree the 1a. 4p. share, which was the subject of the first mortgage-bond, was brought to sale, and was sold on the 4th March 1878 for Rs. 11,400. The first mortgage was satisfied out of these sale-proceeds, and there remained a surplus of Rs. 7,664-6-1. These surplus sale-proceeds may be taken as representing the value of the equity of redemption of the la. 4p. share of Shazadpore Dumduma, which was the subject of the first mortgage. The third suit was instituted by the present plaintiff after the institution of the first suit and before the present appellants had become purchasers. It will be remembered that the present plaintiff Soodist Lall was the mortgagee not only of the two shares, but of the other property situate in the district of Tirhoot. The third suit was instituted under the old Code of Civil Procedure, and it was instituted in the district of Tirhoot. In that suit Soodist Lall sought to enforce his mortgage lien not only against the property situate in Jirhoot, but also against the property sitnated in the district of Bhagalpore. Now, according to the old Code of. Civil Procedure, Act VIII of 1859 (Section 12[In like manner, if the property be situate within the limits of different districts, the suit may be brought in any Court, otherwise competent to try it within the jurisdiction of which any portions of the land or other immoveable property in suit is situate, but in such case the Court in which the suit is brought shall apply to the Sudder Court for authority to proceed with the same; if the suit is brought in any Court,—subordinate to a District Court,—the application shall be submitted through the District Court to which such Court is subordinate. Suits for immoveable property situate in different districts.]), it was necessary to have obtained the sanction of the High Court in order that the property situated in the district of Bhagalpore might be made liable under the decree which would be passed in the suit. No such sanction was obtained, and on the 17th July 1874, a decree was passed in favour of Soodist Lall. The fourth suit was brought by the fourth mortgagee, and he obtained a decree on the 17th January 1877. In execution of this decree, he attached a 2a. 13g. 2c. 1cr. share in Mozufferpore Thatha. It was sold on the 3rd September 1877, and purchased by the second party defendants, Tribani Persad Singh and others. The remaining facts of the case are as follows:— Soodist Lall had his decree transferred for execution with a certificate from the district of Tirhoot to the district of Bhagalpore, and in this latter district he attached in execution the surplus sale-proceeds, Rs. 7,864-6-1, and also the la. 9g. 2c. 1cr. share of Mouza Shazadpore Dumduma. The present appellants came forward and made a claim (i) as to the surplus proceeds, and (ii) as to the share of Baiju Lall,—that is, 17g. 3c. 1d. share. In consequence of this claim, the attachment was withdrawn both as to the surplus sale-proceeds, and as to the 17g. 3c. 1d. share just mentioned; and the present appellants, on the 24th August 1878, drew out the surplus sale-proceeds already mentioned. Tribani Persad Singh and others, second party defendants, also made a claim in respect of 2a. 13g. 2c. 1d. share which they had purchased; and on the 21st January 1879, an order was made releasing this share from attachment. The present suit had now been instituted by Soodist Lall, and he asks (i) that the decree of the 17th July 1874 obtained by him in the Tirhoot Court may be declared valid to affect the 17g. 3c. 1d. share of Shazadpore Dumduma, and also the whole share of Mozufferpore; (ii) that he may recover the surplus sale-proceeds, Rs. 7,664-6-1, together with interest, from Bungsee and others, the present appellants; and (iii) that, if the decree of the 17th July 1874 be not held valid so as to affect the properties abovementioned, then a decree may now be given to him declaring his prior lien upon the 17g. 3c. 1d. share of Mouza Shazadpore Dumduma, and upon the 2a. 13g. 2c. 1cr. share of Mouza Mozufferpore Thatha. Now, it is to be borne in mind that Bungsee purchased the interests of Dukharun and Baiju Lall at a sale under a decree obtained upon the third mortgage. The plaintiff, who is the second mortgagee, has, therefore, in respect of the surplus sale-proceeds, and also in respect of Baiju's share, a prior lien to that of Bungsee, who claims only in right of the third mortgagee. Then, as to the share in Mozufferpore Thatha, Tribani Persaud and others, second defendants, are purchasers under a decree obtained upon the fourth mortgage, and as regards this share also, the plaintiff, being the second mortgagee, has a prior lien.
2. Four points have been argued before us upon this appeal. The first point is, that the Tirhoot Court had no jurisdiction in respect of the property situate in Bhagalpore, and therefore the decree of the 17th July 1874 is not valid so as to affect the Bhagalpore property.
3. The second point is, that the suit is bad for multifariousness, inasmuch as the first set of defendants and the second set of defendants are interested not jointly, but severally, and in respect of separate portions of the property. The third point is, that the plaintiff is not entitled to sue alone, because there are four other persons,—viz., Mohesh Lall, Chutoorbhooj Lall, Gopal Lall, and Ram Lall (one of whom, viz., Chutoorbhooj, is a minor), who are members of a joint Hindu family,—co-sharers with the plaintiff. It is, therefore, contended, that the plaintiff Soodist Lall is not alone interested in the subject-matters of the suit, and is not competent to sue alone. The fourth point is, that this suit is not maintainable, because it is a suit brought after splitting a cause of action; in other words, as the plaintiff had already brought a suit in the Tirhoot Court, and did not, in order to make the decree in that suit effectual as against the whole of the mortgaged property, obtained the sanction of the High Court, he is now precluded from bringing this second suit in respect of the Bhagalpore property.
4. As to the first point it is conceded on behalf of the plaintiff, respondent, that the decree of the Tirhoot Court is not valid to affect the property in the Bhagalpore Court, and it is not necessary for us to say anything further upon this point. The second point is concerned with multifariousness, and in order to understand how far this objection can be sustained in connection with the present case, we must bear distinctly in mind what are the exact facts.
5. The plaintiff sues in respect of a single transaction affecting several items of property. He sues upon a single contract as between himself and his mortgagor; and he is compelled to sue by reason of this fact, that subsequent to the execution of his mortgage, several other persons have become interested in different portions of the property which, as a whole, was the subject of his mortgage-bonds. Now it appears to us, that this is just the case which Section 28 of the present Code of Civil Procedure was intended to meet and provide for. That section enacts, that "all persons may be joined as defendants against whom the right to any relief is alleged to exist, whether jointly, severally, or in the alternative, in respect of the same matter." The right to relief, so far as regards the first and second set of defendants, is, undoubtedly, a right to relief as against these sets of defendants severally, but the cause of action arises out of the single subject-matter which formed the subject of the plaintiff's original mortgage. We may also advert to Section 31 of the Code of Civil Procedure, which provides, that "no suit shall be defeated by reason of the misjoinder of parties, and the Court may, in every suit, deal with the matter in controversy so far as regards the rights and interests of the parties actually before it." We are of opinion, that the two sections which have just been quoted, are a sufficient answer to the objection of multifariousness raised upon this appeal.
6. Then, with reference to the third objection, the mortgage-bond was executed in favour of the plaintiff alone. If this were not the case, there would, undoubtedly, be much in the objection, that the plaintiff, whether regarded as a member of the partnership or as a member of a Hindu family, could not alone maintain this suit. But we think that the fact of the mortgage-bond having been executed in the name of the plaintiff alone entirely alters the case. The plaintiff may be regarded as contracting not only on behalf of himself, but on behalf of undisclosed principals—i.e., the other members of the family. The rule of law on this subject is to be found in the case of Sims v. Bond (5 B. and Ad. 393). The learned Chief Justice of England, in delivering the judgment of the Court, then said:—" It is a well established rule of law, that where a contract, not under seal, is made with an agent in his own name for an undisclosed principal, either the agent or the principal may sue upon it; the defendant, in the latter case, being entitled to be placed in the same situation at the time of the disclosure of the real principal as if the agent had been the contracting party. This rule is most frequently acted upon in sales by factors, agents, or parties, in which cases, either the nominal or real contractor may sue." The same principle is applicable to the case of partners contracting in their own names, but really on behalf of themselves and their unnamed partners—Bottomley v. Nuttall (5 C. B., N. S., 122), for, as Baron PARKE said in Beckham v. Drake (9 M. and W., 98), all questions of this sort between partners are mere illustrations of the same questions between principal and agent. In the case of Agacio v. Forbes (14 Moore's P. C., 160) it was held by the Privy Council, that one partner, with whom personally a contract was made, was entitled to sue upon this contract in his own name without joining his co-partners as plaintiffs; see also Jones v. Robinson (1 Ex., 454).
7. The same principle of law is embodied in Section 230 of the Indian Contract Act, which enacts, that, "in the absence of any contract to that effect, an agent cannot personally enforce contracts entered into by him on behalf of his principal, nor is he personally bound by them. Such a contract shall be presumed to exist in the following cases: (i) Where the contract is made by an agent for the sale or purchase of goods for a merchant resident abroad; (ii) where the agent does not disclose the name of his principal." Now, in the present case the contract was made with Soodist Lall, the plaintiff, alone. It has not been expressly pleaded, and there is no evidence upon the record to show, that Soodist Lall did, at the time of making the contract, disclose that he was contracting not only on behalf of himself, but also on behalf of the other members of the partnership. Under these circumstances, we think that this ground of appeal must also fail.
8. Then the fourth ground of appeal is, that the cause of action has been split. Now, the present case is on all fours with the case of Grish Chunder Mookerjee v. Ramessuree Dabee (22 W. R, 308), in which the case of Subba Rau v. Rama Rau (3 Mad. Rep., 376) is referred to. In the case of Grish Chander Mookerjee v. Rameessuree Dabee (22 W. E., 308) it was held, that the case of action was not split, because the plaintiff did not, in the first case, either relinquish or omit to sue for any portion of his claim; but the necessity for the second suit arose out of the fact, that the decree in the first suit had become infructuous, so far as regarded a certain portion of the property, in consequence of its having been made without jurisdiction. We see no reason to dissent from the principle there laid down, and that principle must govern the present case. Were it otherwise, we think that there is another principle of law laid down by the Privy Council which would be applicable to the present case. We think that the cause of action in this second case is not the same cause of action upon which the plaintiff sued in the first suit. In the first suit the cause of action was the non-payment of the money secured by the mortgagee-bond, and the real contention was as between the mortgagee on the one hand and the mortgagors on the other hand. The second suit is directed to enforce the plaintiff's prior mortgage lien against subsequent, mortgagees, and the cause of action is, that the subsequent mortgagees have denied the plaintiff's right to a prior lien. The real contention is, not between the mortgagee and the mortgagors, but between the prior mortgagee and the subsequent mortgagees. We think, therefore, that this case falls within the principle explained in the case of Rao Kuran Singh v. Nawab Mahomed Fyazali Khan (14 Moore's I. A., 188). The appellants thus fail upon all the grounds which have been taken and argued before us, and this appeal must be dismissed with costs.

PSU spring football presser
By NEIL RUDEL
For The Express
UNIVERSITY PARK — Tommy Stevens, Penn State's expected starting quarterback, will be handled cautiously this spring and, depending on his progress, might be questionable for the Blue-White Game.
Stevens did not play in six of the Lions' 13 games last season and did not make the trip to the Citrus Bowl in Orlando after undergoing surgery.
Penn State coach James Franklin does not specify injuries, but Stevens wore a boot last spring and has been battling foot troubles.
Franklin called the injury "fairly significant," adding his effectiveness was limited in the seven games he did appear.
He said Stevens could possibly "be a full go" by the end of spring practice — the Blue-White game is April 13 (3 p.m.) — but added, "I'm not sure of that yet."
Penn State opened spring drills Wednesday with numerous question marks, none bigger than Stevens' health.
The fifth-year senior has waited for his opportunity for the last three seasons, sitting behind Trace McSorley.
Franklin wants to reward Stevens' patience without rushing him.
"I think Tommy understands that, 'Hey, I've have got to step into this role right now; I have a responsibility to run the offense and to lead the offense," Franklin said. "Trace had instant credibility with our team from what he had done the previous years. Tommy understands it's his turn now to step up. Sean (Clifford) feels that way, too."
Franklin called Stevens' injury, "In some ways … a blessing in disguise for Sean because Sean was able to gain some experience."
One factor in monitoring Stevens' progress is his surgery was not done by the Penn State medical staff.
"We're dealing with our own doctors and trainers on campus but he had the surgery off campus," Franklin said. "So we are communicating with his doctor, as well, and trying to get everybody on the same page."
Stevens, an Indiana product, has attempted just 41 passes in his career, completing 24 for 304 yards, four touchdowns and one interception.
He's shown more of a penchant to run out of the pocket, sometimes via a designed run. He's rushed 76 times for 506 yards, a 6.7 average, and eight touchdowns.
Despite not yet starting a game, he's eighth on PSU's career rushing list for quarterbacks.
Stevens was dressed for practice Wednesday and went through arm stretches. Media present was ushered out before any throwing took place.
Clifford completed 5-of-7 passes last year for 195 yards and two touchdowns. Will Levis would be the third-teamer at this point.
New special teams coach
Joe Lorig, the Lions' new special teams coach who replaced Phil Galiano, was part of Wednesday's press conference.
Lorig roomed with Franklin when the two were on the staff at Idaho State in 1999.
Franklin would like to have "more offensive players" on this year's units, and Lorig said his mantra for special teams is to "change the game."
He's been a college assistant for 22 years, including three as special teams coordinator at Memphis and two at Arizona State. In three seasons at Memphis, Lorig's teams returned eight kicks for touchdowns, breaking a 21-year drought.
"The fastest way to improve a football team is through special teams," Lorig said.
Personnel report
– Junior wide receiver Mac Hippenhammer has been excused from spring drills to play baseball, which was agreed upon during his recruitment. He's an outfielder. "Bo Jackson for us," Franklin said.
– Junior C.J. Thorpe, who was switched to the defensive line to provide depth last year, is back at offensive guard. "He's got an unbelievable ceiling as an offensive lineman" who "brings a physicality that we missed (in 2018)," Franklin said.
– While Ricky Slade is the leading candidate to replace departed tailback Miles Sanders, Franklin qualified that by saying the starter would likely be Slade or Journey Brown. "That's probably a slash (either-or)," Franklin said.
– Priority position to build depth are defensive tackle, wide receiver and safety, Franklin said, adding "we've got to find a two-deep we can win with."
– Penn State's Pro Day is Tuesday. Altoona's Kevin Givens, who bypassed a final year of eligibility, is one of the 14 Lions scheduled to participate.

How to Buy and Use Tea Tree Oil:
- If you're looking to purchase pure Tea Tree Oil, make sure it comes in a dark glass bottle with a dropper. This will prevent light from shining in and reducing the oil's potency.
- Do NOT ingest it orally. It's not meant to be taken internally. The only exceptions are 1) adding the oil to a vaporizer to be inhaled (if you have a cold/flu), or 2) mixing a tiny amount in with your mouthwash (to help fight off gum infection).
