Hiking the Lake District in Springtime
A lovely couple of days spent hiking in the Lake District brought swathes of yellow daffodils, some interesting fauna and some smashing views. A week later and the whole place was covered in snow! That is the joy of walking in Britain – you never know what weather to expect next, so you have to enjoy every moment of it in case it changes.
Accommodation Review: Skiddaw Hotel, Keswick
We booked a cheap break via Secret Escapes and stayed at the Skiddaw Hotel in Kewswick. Keswick is a great base – especially if you don’t drive, because there are some lovely walks from the centre and it has all the facilities you could wish for close by. On our walks though, we saw a much nicer hotel run by the same owners and with hindsight wished we had stayed there instead – Lodore Falls Hotel, Derwent Water.
Lake District - Hiking Trails
There are a number of clear walking leaflets for sale at the Tourist Information Office in Keswick offering a wide choice of walk lengths and scenery/challenge. We opted for the Stone Circle at Castlerigg, which made an easy afternoon’s walk on the first day. On the second day, we walked all around Derwent Water – 13kms – mostly flat walking with some stunning views along the way.

An enlarged prostate is a common condition that can cause discomfort and often makes it difficult to urinate. Over half of men between the ages of 51 and 60 suffer from an enlarged prostate. If you’ve been struggling with symptoms of an enlarged prostate, Royal S. Park, MD, and Alec S. Koo, MD, of Skyline Urology can help you experience relief. To schedule your visit, call the office in Torrance, California, or book an appointment online today.
Enlarged Prostate Q & A
What is the prostate?
The prostate is a walnut-shaped muscular gland that’s essential to male reproductive health. It’s located below your bladder and is responsible for producing a fluid that nourishes and protects sperm. The prostate contracts during ejaculation, pushing semen through the urethra.
What causes an enlarged prostate?
There are a number of conditions that can cause an enlarged prostate. It can become enlarged from an infection, injury, or even cancer. However, the most common cause of an enlarged prostate is age.
The prostate gland continues to grow throughout your life. In some men, the prostate can grow too large causing discomfort and frequent, impaired urination. This condition is known as benign prostatic hyperplasia.
What are the symptoms of an enlarged prostate?
Most symptoms of an enlarged prostate are associated with the bladder and urinary tract. As the prostate grows, pressure on the bladder increases and the passageway of the urethra narrows.
- Frequent urination
- Slow or weak stream
- Difficulty urinating
- Frequent nighttime urination
- Incomplete bladder emptying
An enlarged prostate makes it more difficult to empty the bladder, leaving you more vulnerable to urinary tract infections.
If you’re experiencing any of the symptoms of an enlarged prostate, it’s important to discuss your condition with the experienced urologists at Skyline Urology as soon as possible.
What is prostate cancer?
Although most enlarged prostates are noncancerous, that isn’t always the case. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers amongst men. About one in every nine men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer causes the prostate to grow abnormally, developing harmful tumors and lesions. The symptoms of prostate cancer can mimic an enlarged prostate, so it’s important to seek prompt medical care if you notice changes to your bladder functions.
How is an enlarged prostate diagnosed?
Your diagnosis begins with a discussion of your symptoms and medical history. Next, your doctor performs a physical exam to determine the status of your overall health. Your Skyline Urology provider might also perform:
A urine test is used to rule out conditions like urinary tract infections as a cause for your enlarged prostate.
A prostate-specific antigen blood test
This test checks your Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. Increased PSA levels indicate an enlarged prostate.
Digital rectal exam
The rectal exam is used to determine the size of the prostate, as well as check for any tumors or abnormalities.
How is an enlarged prostate treated?
Depending on the cause of your enlarged prostate, the treatment can range from medication to no treatment at all. Your doctor’s approach depends on your age, size of your prostate, and your overall health.
If your symptoms are tolerable, your provider may recommend a wait-and-see approach to monitor your prostate with no immediate intervention.
At Skyline Urology, the team specializes in minimally invasive options for treating enlarged prostates, including Urolift and Rezum. The doctors will discuss the best treatment option based on your overall health and evaluation.
To speak with a urology specialist about an enlarged prostate, book an appointment at Skyline Urology by phone or online today.

It's hard not to be impressed by the riches on display in The Intouchables. I'm not just talking about your sets, which do a great job of contrasting social clashes that are key to Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano's feature film, but also the depth of talent on display. Even more impressive is how this unlikely tale has translated into one of the biggest box-office hits in European history.
In one sense, I could argue your task was easy. It doesn't take much imagination to contrast the lives of a poor African immigrant, played brilliantly by Omar Sy, with an out-of-touch French bourgeois portrayed by François Cluzet, whom he's tasked with caring for. As an audience, we've been here, seen that before. Yet the results are rarely ever this satisfying.
The basic set pieces on screen feel like they came from a pawn shop of Hollywood cliches: a poor, uneducated free-spirit, a rich, up-tight enfant gate, and a journey through melancholy to rediscover purpose and love. Disney has been using this formula for ages. They've just never made it a platonic love story between a street thug and a wealthy quadriplegic.
Together, you've built a world we at once recognize, sympathize with, and envy. You make it easy to share Sy's joy as we see him soaking up his new gold-plated bathroom only days after he seemed doomed to the indignity of bathing in a housing project full of needy children. Moments of spontaneity also help lock us into place, like the brilliant flash-forward opening sequence. We see the unorthodox relationship bloom as the two race through Parisien streets. We get hooked, and care about where this story is going, even if we've been there before.
The result is funny, touching, and a breath of fresh air. In other words, you and your team really classed up the joint - even when it was filled with prostitutes and actual joints.

You May Soon Be Able To Go To Bali On A Cruise From Mumbai
Tell Me More
Union minister Nitin Gadkari made an announcement where he stated how Mumbai was going to be developed into a city for cruise liner tourism and that there would be cruises to Bali from here. He also mentioned that Mumbai already acts as a port for cruise liners to go to Singapore, according to this report.
As a part of the proposed plan, the Mumbai Port Trust Authority is developing a state-of-the-art cruise terminal neat Ballard Pier, which is deemed to be ready by next year, according to this source.
So, We’re Saying…
If you’ve always wanted to go on a cruise but didn’t know where to begin, this is one place you can start, and obviously rejoice over. Apart from this, it’s going to be a massive uplift for India’s cruise tourism, and hey, we’re just happy that we get to visit another country via a cruise ship. Let the daydreaming finally begin.

When replacing two new tires instead of four, be sure that your new tires are the same size and tire type as your current tires, and that your dealer always installs the new tires on the rear axle of your vehicle.
Watch the video below for more information:
Install two new tires on the rear axle
If you're changing only two tires, always install the two new tires on the rear axle in order to drive safely and avoid hydroplaning.
Why Put New Tires on the Rear Axle.?
New tires will provide better wet grip than your half-worn tires.
When new tires are installed on the rear, it helps reduce the potential for your vehicle to fishtail and loss of vehicle stability in wet conditions.
Although not available online, we may be able to help you find a tire that fits your selection.
Please tell us the year, make and model of the vehicle for which you would like a tire recommendation. Also please let us know which tire features are important to you. Finally, let us know the area of the country where you do most of your driving. This way, we can provide you with our best recommendation.

Statement on Today's Decision by the Federal Communications Commission
June 2, 2003
In Vermont, as in other states, we rely on local newspapers and local television and radio stations to alert us to weather hazards, broadcast local breaking news, and keep us informed on the important events in our communities. I am deeply concerned that when local media is no longer local -- as may be the case in many cities and towns as a result of today's action -- residents will be less informed, alerts may happen more slowly, and an entire community may be endangered by the lack of an effective communication tool in an emergency situation.
The Bush Administration should have blocked this deregulation; instead, they urged its passing, choosing to side with the interests of the few, rather than the millions of Americans who will be affected by it.

Two lovestruck teens grow up fast in the wake of an unexpected pregnancy, in this gently realistic debut feature from Belgian director Guillaume Senez.
Maxime (Kacey Mottet Klein) and Mélanie (Galatea Bellugi) are a typical teenage couple. Like most lovestruck fifteen-year-olds, they can't get enough of each other and they think they'll be together forever. But when Mélanie becomes pregnant, their worlds are rocked.
Maxime and Mélanie remain committed to one another as they explore their options with care and caution. Maxime, a budding football star, is torn between his dream of playing professionally and his unexpected desire to be a father. Mélanie, the daughter of a single woman who was only a teenager herself when Mélanie was born, is more conflicted — but, basking in the glow of early pregnancy and young love, she gains confidence from Maxime. Together, they make the decision to keep the baby, and for a while they really believe they can make it work. But as they're pulled in different directions by their parents, their own ambitions, and their desire to be normal teenagers, the reality of their decision begins to sink in.
Rarely do we see a film about teenage pregnancy in the middle class, and even more rarely do we see this story told from the male perspective. Writer-director Guillaume Senez breaks the mould with Keeper; though we are deeply immersed in both Maxime's and Mélanie's experiences, the film is ultimately a refreshingly honest portrayal of a boy's transition into manhood.
Senez and co-screenwriter David Lambert imbue their characters with a wholly believable emotional maturity, and the quality of their writing is enhanced by the film's gentle realist style and the strong, subtle performances of its young leads.
Being young is not all about having fun. Keeper reminds us that the burden of adult decisions does not fall to adults alone.

Reinforced Concrete Tunnel Junctions: Design and Construction Guidelines
Whilst junctions between a tunnel and another tunnel, shaft, or other underground structure typically account for only a small proportion of the total length of a tunnelling project, their design and construction invariably present significant challenges. These challenges manifest themselves during the excavation and the installation of both the initial and permanent support. While many tunnelling design problems can be treated as two-dimensional in nature, junctions require a threedimensional approach. This paper aims to present broad design and construction guidelines for junctions, enabling the tunnel engineer to grasp the importance of the entire process at the design stage and during design implementation. Junctions applicable to this paper are excavated in rock, typically by Drill and Blast.Guidelines are presented for the operational requirements, the spatial design and the lining design for cast in-situ reinforced concrete junctions. A proposed design methodology initially outlines considerations for the geology and existing conditions, the geometry of the structure, and the corresponding design loads and design cases. This paper presents a brief outline of how to create a three-dimensional model of a junction, and use Finite Element Analysis to apply the aforementioned design loads and design cases. Outputs for the Ultimate Limit State including axial forces combined with both bending moments and shear forces are described. Outputs for the Serviceability Limit State including deformations and crack widths are also outlined as are design assumptions and tolerances for the model.This paper then emphasises the importance of active communication in the design, relating to the production and development of drawings and other relevant documentation, which include detailed interrogation of the model before starting construction to develop sufficient cross-sections to assist planning and constructability.The paper concludes by providing several practical considerations for the construction of reinforced concrete junctions underground, starting during the excavation of the opening, where careful surveying and control of underbreak and overbreak areas is advisable. Detailed interrogation of the model is recommended before starting construction to develop sufficient cross-sections to prepare the formwork and reinforcement schedules. Practical considerations for the placement of reinforcement are outlined as well as guidelines for the positioning, preparation and treatment of construction joints. Finally, considerations for adjustments to the design through the Field Change process are outlined. It is recommended that the designer understands and appreciates the importance of these practical considerations, to allow the operational objectives of the junction to be met in a safe, economical and constructible manner.Junctions, Design, Construction, Reinforcement, Practical Considerations.


Ex-inmates: Officers coerced sex acts
Published 9:09 am Friday, April 22, 2016
Ten former jail inmates have jointly filed a lawsuit in federal court against Berrien County and four current or former employees of the sheriff’s department alleging sexual abuse and other misconduct occurred over at least a six-year period.
In a lawsuit filed April 5 in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan, nine women allege that specific officers used their positions to coerce them into performing sexual favors in exchange for money and other benefits while they were inmates at the Berrien County Jail.
One of the women alleges an officer gave her the wrong medication and then refused to tell her what type of medication she ingested.
The suit alleges that the Berrien County Sheriff’s Department failed to adequately monitor its employees, respond to complaints by prisoners and investigate allegations.
In a prepared statement released to the media Thursday, Sheriff Paul Bailey said his office is aware of the lawsuit but had not been served with it as of the time of the release.
“The Berrien County Sheriff’s Office denies any wrongdoing or prior knowledge of any of the alleged misconduct,” the release stated. “All Berrien County Sheriff’s Office employees are held to a high standard and we will continue to serve the residents of Berrien County with the highest degree of professionalism and integrity. No further comment will be made at this time due to this pending lawsuit. An investigation was conducted in 2015 and there was no evidence of any alleged misconduct occurring inside the Berrien County Jail.”
The four individuals named as defendants in the lawsuit are Sgt. John McCoy, Sgt. Brett McCrew, Deputy Keegan Trail and Deputy David Lee.
Two women made allegations against Trail, three against McCoy and six against McGrew. Although Lee was named as a defendant in the lawsuit, no allegations against him are included in the lawsuit.
Three of the four defendants are no longer employed with the department. McGrew and Trail resigned and McCoy was fired, all due to their conduct while not on duty, according to the sheriff’s office release.
Lee remains employed with the department.
The women are seeking damages exceeding $75,000. The plaintiffs are: Amber Slaughter, of Niles; Amber Green, of Coloma; Arielle Gantzer, of Bridgman; Tamela Davis, of Benton Harbor; Amber Jennings, of Benton Harbor; Chandra Alana, of St. Joseph; Brittany Stanage, of Benton Harbor; Cynthia Mills, of Benton Harbor; Erin Rose, of Coloma; and Rhonda Young, of Benton Harbor.

This article is written by Tuba Ghayas who is pursuing a Diploma in Intellectual property, Media and Entertainment from Lawsikho.
The Supreme Court on 14th August held an eminent civil rights lawyer Prashant Bhushan guilty of criminal contempt for two tweets he had posted about the Supreme Court and Chief Justice of India S.A. Bobde and subsequently, on Monday, 31st August, Mr. Bhushan was sentenced to pay a symbolic fine of one rupee.
Mr. Bhushan’s first tweet was about a picture of Chief Justice SA Bobde sitting on a 50 Lakh bike belonging to a BJP leader. In the second tweet, Prashant Bhushan shared an opinion on the role played by the last four Chief Justices of India in the country’s current democratic situation.
Reference for Judgment: SUO MOTU CONTEMPT PETITION (CRL.) NO.1 OF 2020 IN RE: PRASHANT BHUSHAN AND ANR.
What is Contempt of Law?
Under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971; Contempt of Court is of two types -Civil contempt and Criminal contempt. The act of willfully disobeying the judgments, orders passed by the court, or willfully breaching the undertaking given to court amounts to civil contempt. Whereas Criminal Contempt means any publication (whether by words, written, oral, etc) that (i) scandalises or tends to scandalise, or lowers or tends to lower the authority of, any court; or (ii) prejudices, or interferes or tends to interfere with, the due course of any judicial proceeding; or (iii) interferes or tends to interfere with, or obstructs or tends to obstruct, the administration of justice in any other manner.
In Brahma Prakash Sharma vs. State of Uttar Pradesh, the Supreme Court had held that to constitute the offense of Contempt of Court, it was not necessary to specifically prove that an actual interference with the administration of justice has been committed. The Court held that it was enough if a defamatory statement is likely or in any way tends to interfere with the proper administration of justice.
In Dr. D.C. Saxena vs. Hon’ble The C.J.I., the court held that scandalizing the court or judge, undermines people’s confidence in the administration of justice and brings the Court into disrepute. Such disrespect tantamounts to criminal contempt.
Under the amended provisions of Section 13 of the Act, the court may permit, in any proceeding for contempt of court, justification by truth as a valid defence if it is satisfied that it is in public interest and the request for invoking the said defence is bonafide.
Freedom of Speech vs. Contempt of Court
Before the conviction, the Supreme Court had given Advocate Bhushan an opportunity to apologize and withdraw his remarks against the judges. Mr. Bhushan, however, refused to apologize with the contention that the remarks were his bonafide belief. Bhushan said as an officer of court it is his duty to speak up when he believes there is a deviation from its sterling record. Advocate Prashant Bhushan was subsequently held to be guilty of criminal contempt as his tweets allegedly scandalized the courts and lowered the dignity of the court.
On one hand, Section 2(c)(i) of the Contempt of Court Act, 1971 criminalizes any publication or act which scandalizes or lowers the authority of any court or harms the dignity of the court; whereas, on the other hand, citizens have the freedom of speech and expression provided under Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution. Though freedom of speech is not an absolute right and it allows the Government to frame laws to impose reasonable restrictions; there is a dilemma between the liberty of thoughts and expression and the supposed unquestionable supremacy of an institution especially in the current era of social media.
In Hari Singh Nagra vs. Kapil Sibal, 2011 Cri LJ 102 (SC): Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution contemplates that freedom of expression is available to press albeit fiercely is no crime but a necessary right. A fair and reasonable criticism of a judgement which is a public document or which is a public act of a judge concerned with administration of justice would not constitute contempt. In fact, such fair and reasonable criticism must be encouraged because after all no one, much less judges, can claim infallibility.
On May 18, 1951, during the debate of the first Constitutional Amendment, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar discussed the judgments of the Supreme Court in the State of Madras vs Chapakam Dorairajan and Venkataramana vs the State of Madras and called them “utterly unsatisfactory”. The house chided him for disparaging the apex court and Ambedkar responded with, “I have often in the course of my practice told the presiding judge in very emphatic terms that I am bound to obey his judgment but I am not bound to respect it. That is the liberty that every lawyer enjoys in telling the judge that his judgment is wrong and I am not prepared to give up that liberty”.
Former Justice of Supreme Court, V.R. Krishna Iyer, famously termed the law of contempt as “having a vague and wandering jurisdiction, with uncertain boundaries; contempt law, regardless of the public good, may unwittingly trample upon civil liberties”.
In 2007, Former Justice of Supreme Court, R v. Raveendran in Rajesh Kumar Singh vs High Court of Judicature of Madhya Appeal (Crl.) 321 of 2001, while setting aside the Madhya Pradesh High Court contempt conviction against a police officer had observed “It is possible that it is done to uphold the majesty of courts and to command respect. But judges, like everyone else, will have to earn respect. They cannot demand respect by a demonstration of ‘power’ (of contempt). It should be remembered that exercise of such power, results in eroding the confidence of the public, rather than creating trust and faith in the judiciary,” it observed.
Contempt law and International treaties
The International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) said civil rights lawyer Prashant Bhushan’s conviction for criminal contempt of court by the Supreme Court seemed to be inconsistent with the freedom of expression law guaranteed by the “International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights” which India has ratified. The ICJ said the judgment risked having a “chilling effect on the exercise of protected freedom of expression in India”. “While some restrictions of freedom of expression are permitted by international standards, a particularly wide scope must be preserved for debate and discussion about such matters as the role of the judiciary, access to justice, and democracy, by members of the public, including through public commentary on the courts”, it stated
The judgment goes against the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as it curbs the general protection of free speech and expression. It is also inconsistent with Principle 23 of The United Nations’ Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers which says Lawyers “shall have the right to take part in public discussion of matters concerning the law, the administration of justice and the promotion and protection of human rights”.
Subjective Nature of the term “Scandalizing”
The offense of scandalizing the court is very vague which leaves a very wide scope of arbitrariness when judging the ‘scandalizing nature of action’. The question of whether the image of the Judiciary is maligned in the eyes of people is very subjective and a matter of public perception. Not everyone agrees with an opinion. People are very much capable and entitled to agree and disagree with an opinion. To safeguard freedom of speech and expression, there is a need to make criminal contempt law more aligned to international standards.
In the case of PN Dua v. Shiv Shankar and others, the Supreme Court held that mere criticism of the Court does not amount to contempt of Court. The Court observed that in a free marketplace of ideas, criticisms about the judicial system or judges should be welcomed, so long as such criticisms do not impair or hamper the administration of justice.
In 1978, two newspaper editors from the Times of India and the Indian Express were charged with contempt following the publication of articles that contained criticisms of the Supreme Court’s decision in ADM Jabalpur v. Shivkant Shukla, a case in which the Supreme Court refused to protect the right to habeas corpus during the Emergency. The case was ultimately dropped after Chief Justice M.H. Beg, who had initiated the proceedings, was not supported by the two other judges on the bench in his opinion that contempt had been committed.
Colonial roots of the law and other democracies of the world
Contempt law finds its origin in Monarchy where kings were the Authority and people were the king’s subjects who had no right to question the Authority. Subsequently, to ensure smoother administration of justice, this power was delegated to Judges and being delegated from the King, the Judges were held in high authority not to be questioned and disobeyed. To criticise the judge was like criticizing the king, which is why it was punishable. But today in a democracy, the people are supreme and the state authorities are public servants appointed to serve people.
The origin of the law of Contempt in India can be traced from the English law. The first Indian law of contempt was passed in 1926. Even though Britain has abolished the contempt law since its last proceeding occurred in 1930, India continues to follow the colonial law of suppressing the voices raising questions and seeking accountability from the judiciary that has the potential to malign the dignity of the court. The judiciary as a whole must reorient its basic philosophy to suit a socialist secular democratic republic and leave the feudal roots in the past. This transformation is essential if Fiat Justitia is to be a paramount principle of governance in India.
British Judge Lord Denning said, “We do not fear criticism, nor do we resent it.” In the matter of Metropolitan Police Commissioner in 1969, Lord Denning observed that though the Court has the jurisdiction to punish for contempt, they shall not use that power. The reason being they will have a certain amount of personal interest. This is against the legal principle that one cannot be a judge in their own case.
In Bridges v. California, Justice Hugo Black in the USA had observed that it is a faulty assumption that respect of judiciary can be won by shielding the judges from criticism. The American public opinion cannot be silenced on the pretext of Contempt of Court. It contended that instead of preserving the dignity of the court, the enforced silence will lead to resentment, suspicion, and contempt rather than enhancing respect.
In Canada, Courts can be criticized unless there is imminent danger to the administration of Justice. The Ontario Court of Appeal in R v. Kopyto (1987), Justice Cory observed: “courts are not fragile flowers that will wither in the hot heat of controversy.”
US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall, two centuries ago observed that “the power of Judiciary lies, not in deciding cases, nor in imposing sentences, nor in punishing for contempt, but in the trust, confidence, and faith of the common man.”
Building distrust towards Judiciary
The close and friendly relationship between Judges of the Court and the Executive Government has shaken the faith of citizens in the Judiciary by the events of the last couple of years. The first tweet of Advocate Prashant Bhushan highlighting CJI Bobde sitting on a bike belonging to a BJP leader has raised a valid and bonafide concern in the minds of citizens about the questionable independence of the Judiciary. This cordial relationship defies the principle of checks and balances enshrined in the Constitution.
On 26 February 2020 Supreme Court Bar Association passed a resolution condemning now retired, Senior Supreme Court judge Justice Arun Mishra’s praise of Prime Minister Modi at the International Judicial Conference. “The SCBA believes that any such statement reflects poorly on the independence of the judiciary and so calls upon the Honourable Judges not to make any statements in future nor show any proximity or closeness to the Executive, including Higher Functionaries,” an SCBA statement said though not unanimous.
The Bar Association of India, a federal representing lawyers from Supreme Court Bar to the lower courts, law societies, and firms across the country said, “Such an act serves to dilute the perception of impartiality and independence and diminishes the confidence of the general public as judges of Supreme Court is expected to decide cases against the executive branch while upholding constitutional principles and the Rule of Law as paramount”.
In February 2019, Advocate Bhushan had raised questions on the appointment of interim CBI Director and accused Attorney General K.K. Venugopal of making a “wholly false statement” in the court. The Attorney General had filed a contempt plea in the court against Advocate Bhushan. The Narendra Modi government had followed suit and filed a plea of its own seeking similar contempt action against Prashant Bhushan. The Supreme Court bench of two judges observed that Contempt cases should not be used ordinarily yet issued a notice to Bhushan and accepted such a frivolous plea. The tweets were direct questions to the government not in any manner ‘scandalizing the court’ or ‘interfering in the administration of justice.’ If the court begins exercising contempt jurisdiction in such instances where the government and its functionaries are accused of lying, the distrust towards the judiciary will grow alongside the Government.
Timely justice has always been a challenge in front of the Indian Judiciary yet the judiciary has been very active in the cases regarding Contempt of Court like the Prashant Bhushan case. The Supreme Court has shown a lax attitude towards dissent cases and numerous social activists are in jail waiting for their hearings. The number of cases pending in front of courts creates an alarming picture. The role of safeguarding the fundamental rights of freedom of speech and expression of citizens seems to have taken backstage.
The inconsistent approach in deciding contempt cases
Mr. Bhushan is part of the elite society of Delhi having the support of imminent Jurist and Advocates. His father is a lawyer-activist and a former Union Law Minister in the Morarji Desai government. Though punishment imposed on Advocate Prashant Bhushan is of one rupee, this conviction and symbolic punishment set a bad precedent. There is a class and caste bias apparent on the face of it as other social activists did not ever get the same symbolic punishment for a similar degree of an offence under the Contempt of Court Act. Justice C.S. Karnan had made allegations of Corruption against 20 judges of the Judiciary in a sealed envelope – letter to the Prime Minister. He had not made any public allegations against any judge and yet he was convicted in 2017 and given the highest punishment under the Act i.e. 6 months of Imprisonment. The Supreme Court had passed a gag-order on case reporting of Justice Karnan contempt case and his side of the story was not allowed to be shared with the general public.
Lack of Transparency in Judicial Enquiries
Advocate Bhushan was held guilty for sharing his opinion about the judiciary on social media platform Twitter which was found to be the wrong procedure for raising the concerns.
In the 2009 contempt case on Prashant Bhushan, Judiciary was of the opinion that an In-house mechanism of dealing with corruption complaints and inquiry is in place and should have been resorted to. But there have been instances where the inquiries under the in-house mechanism were either cut short or bore no results. The question of what is the correct procedure for questioning and holding the judiciary accountable arises in the mind of people.
Let us not forget that Justice Karnan had raised his concern about corruption in judiciary in the letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2017, and instead of starting an investigation or establishing an Enquiry Body (under in-house mechanism) to probe the matter of Corruption in Judiciary to find out the correctness of allegations; but the Prime Minister referred the case to Justice Khehar and CJI chose to constitute a constitutional bench against Justice Karnan wherein he was convicted with 6 months of Imprisonment by the Judiciary. There is a need for a transparent system to deal with corruption charges against sitting and retired Judges.
Justice D.V. Shylendra Kumar of Karnataka High Court in 2010, had raised the question on Corruption in the Judiciary and said “Judges in superior courts (Supreme Court and High Courts) routinely misuse the power to punish for contempt of court more to cover up their own misdeeds than to uphold the majesty of law,”
Judges are not above the law
The colonial thought process of not holding the authority (in this case judiciary) accountable and presumption of the supremacy of the Institution is not a part and parcel of Free Democratic Society. Judges are humans; capable of making mistakes, being corrupted, manipulated, and not working for the welfare of people and upholding the Constitution. Judiciary cannot have blanket immunity from the questions raised by the Citizens. Citizens have a right to know what is happening in the Judiciary.
It is a known fact that the National Emergency by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was wrong but legalized. In 1973, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi appointed a pliant Judge as Chief Justice of India’s Supreme Court by passing over three senior judges. Two years later, after a high court barred her from holding office because of election irregularities, she declared a national emergency. Civil rights and liberties were suspended, and her opposition party members were jailed. When her actions came before the Supreme Court, a bench of five justices, led by her pliant CJI appointee, sided with her. The emergency lasted for nearly 21 months.
Justice Felix Frankfurter in Bridges v. California said “Judges as persons, or courts as institutions, are entitled to no greater immunity from criticism than other persons or institutions. Just because the holders of judicial office are identified with the interests of justice they may forget their common human frailties and fallibilities. There have sometimes been martinets upon the bench as there have also been pompous wielders of authority who have used the paraphernalia of power in support of what they called their dignity. Therefore, judges must be kept mindful of their limitations and their ultimate public responsibility by a vigorous stream of criticism expressed with candor however blunt.”
Justice Hope observed, “The truth is of course that public institutions in a free society must stand upon their own merits: they cannot be propped up if their conduct does not command the respect and confidence of the community; if their conduct justifies the respect and confidence of a community they do not need the protection of special rules to protect them from criticism.”
Most importantly, the judiciary should be mindful of actions that may create fear in the mind of people and stop them from voicing their bonafide opinion. The confidence and respect of citizens in the judiciary can be achieved only by fair judgments and not fear of contempt proceedings. Instead of focusing on curbing or restricting criticism, the Supreme Court should rather focus on speedy disposal of cases, protecting the rights of the citizens, and take accountability for its actions. There is a need for more transparency in judicial proceedings of Inquiries against the sitting and retired judges. The public has the right to be aware of such proceedings. There is a need for law reform in the Contempt of Court Act to decriminalize the criticism of courts. In current times of social media, there is a need to re-evaluate the definition of criminal contempt.
The utmost priority should be to uphold the principles of the Constitution and safeguard the rights of people.

The cabinet has decided to relax the strict fiscal balance dogma of recent years. President of the Bank of Estonia Ardo Hansson perceives several dangers.
Budget deficit a possibility again
„It is opportunist and clearly only benefits the current government. Previous governments have set aside reserves for this one to use,“ he said. Hansson added that should this cast of mind persist, every future government can simply discard the fiscal balance rule to fulfill its election promises. „This will erode the foundation; it is a slippery slope,“ he added.
Hansson said that had the government really considered Estonia's fate in the long term, the amendment would have been made with a future perspective. „They could have said that we are not the ones to benefit from this, while it might prove useful for future governments.“
Minister of Finance Sven Sester announced yesterday that the government has decided to amend the state budget act to allow structural deficit in order to liven up the economy in the future. This would give the government use of 0.5 percent of GDP or €115 million for the purpose of taking loans with which to handle major investments: road construction, renovation of the Linnahall building in Tallinn, development of IT services etc.
„Looking at the current situation, the economy does not need fiscal stimulus. Employment is very high, salary advance is frantic. If we stimulate the economy further in this situation, we will see bubbles, and sectors will overheat,“ Hansson warned.
For example a decision to invest a lot of money in road construction would lead to salary advance in the sector. This would in turn hurt profits and through it investments.
„While some companies might experience growth, others will go bankrupt because they cannot keep up with the pace of salary hikes,“ the central bank manager said.
While Hansson believes national investments in major infrastructure objects are important, it is not something Estonia needs today. He said that the state needs to invest when there is a crisis, while last quarter figures suggest the economy is growing.
One of the authors of the new state budget act, deputy head of the finance ministry's fiscal department Sven Kirsipuu said that the aim of the amendment to allow deficit is first and foremost to balance the economy and render state investments more flexible.
The public servant gave an example. „Let us presume that you want to buy a refrigerator in December. And that you have a principle, according to which you can only use the money this year. However, when you reach the shop, it turns out they're out of fridges and will not have new stock until January. Will you decide not to buy the fridge because your principle does not allow you to use December's money in January?“ he asked.
Kirsipuu said that the example also applies to major national investments regarding which it doesn't matter whether they are made in December or January. „Summary investments are the same for the two-year period, while some annual displacement can cause a deficit in one of the years,“ he explained.
Kirsipuu said that it is merely a question of flexibility and not a case of living beyond one's means or saddling future generations with obligations. The new rules will simply see structural balance monitored over a longer period of time, as a four-year average. The principle that excess deficit during the fiscal year will have to be compensated for in the future will stand.
Concerning criticism that investing with loan money will lead to some sectors overheating, Kirsipuu admitted that it is something that needs to be discussed. He said that there have been very conflicting reports on whether the Estonian economy is in a crisis, recovering, or about to overheat.
„The OECD believes we are in a very deep crisis. The European Commission thinks we have a bubble. We find we are somewhere in between those things,“ Kirsipuu said.
The government sector budget has sported a surplus in recent years. The budget balance rule is in accordance with European fiscal rules. Amendments to the balance rule would concern the 2018 state budget and those of following years.

The transition from military to civilian life can be a tough one. You're suddenly thrust into the real world with no idea what to do next. It's essential to take things slow and steady, but you must also know the steps to get you where you want to go.
In our Career Moves series we share advice and tips to help you achieve your career aspirations.
Start off on the right foot with this comprehensive guide to building your finances and career as a recently discharged female veteran:
One of the first things you should do when you're discharged from the military is to work on eliminating any debt that you have. This may require making some sacrifices, but it will be worth it in the long run. Here's how you can tackle your debt:
Create a budget.
The first step is making a budget that reflects where you are financially and where you hope to get to. Track your income and expenses to see where your money goes each month. And don't forget to include necessary expenses like housing, food, and transportation in your budget.
Chip away at your debt.
Then, start working on paying off your debt, starting with the debt with the highest interest rate, such as:
You may also want to consider consolidating your debt to get a lower interest rate and make just one monthly payment instead of several. Just be careful not to commit to a consolidation loan that you won't be able to pay monthly.
Saving Up Funds To Buy a Home
Owning a home is a major financial goal for many people. If you're a veteran, several programs are available to help you achieve this goal.
Research VA home loans.
As a veteran, you may be eligible for a VA home loan. This program offers several benefits, including:
A lower interest rate than most other home loans.
No down payment is required.
No private mortgage insurance (PMI) is required.
Taking advantage of a VA home loan can help you achieve your goal of homeownership. And since VA mortgage interest rates are typically much lower than those offered by other home loan programs, it's worth considering if you're in the market for a new home.
Work toward your down payment.
One way to start saving up for a down payment is to open a savings account specifically for this purpose. Then, set up automatic transfers from your checking account into your savings account each month so that you're automatically saving money without thinking about it.
Reduce your spending.
Another idea is to cut back on spending in other areas of your budget to free up more money to put towards a down payment on a home. For example, if you usually spend $200 per month on entertainment, try reducing it to $100 per month and allocate the extra $100 to your down payment fund.
Preparing Your Career
Now that you're out of the military, it's time to evaluate your career options and decide what you want to do next. After all, boosting your income is one of the most impactful strategies for building long-term wealth!
If you're not sure what you want to do, that's okay! Plenty of resources can help you figure out what steps to take next.
Look into veteran career resources.
Some of the best places to start include the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the Department of Labor, and the Department of Defense.
The VA is a fantastic place to start for veterans looking for career opportunities. It offers a wealth of information on its website about various careers, job training, and education programs. It also has a database of jobs open to veterans.
The Department of Labor offers various programs and services to help veterans find good jobs. These programs include job training and placement services, employment counseling, and more. And the Department of Defense offers many different programs that help veterans transition from military service to civilian life, including job training and placement services, education benefits, and more.
Finally, don't forget to connect with Arche Careers. Our mentor coaches can guide you step-by-step to a fulfilling and lucrative career.
Seek an education.
Once you've determined the career you'd like to pursue, look into returning to school to get the education and training necessary for success in that field. Don't forget about using your veteran resources! There are often programs available specifically for veterans looking for employment opportunities.
Here are some of the best college degrees to consider as a recently discharged veteran:
Computer Science: This degree will give you the skills and knowledge necessary to work in various tech-related fields, including software development, computer systems engineering, and more.
Business Administration: A degree in business administration will prepare you for a career in management or entrepreneurship. It will also teach essential skills like accounting, finance, and marketing.
Psychology: A degree in psychology will give you a strong foundation in studying human behavior. You can use this knowledge to pursue a career in counseling, social work, or human resources.
No matter what career you ultimately decide to pursue, getting an education will help you achieve your long-term goals.
Starting a Business
Finding a job isn't the only way to build a fruitful career in a field you're passionate about. If you're thinking of starting your own business, congratulations! It's a challenging but rewarding endeavor. And if you prepare well before diving into your startup, you can position your company for long-term success.
Here are some essential steps to laying a firm foundation for your new business:
Do your research. Before you take the plunge and start a business, do your homework. Research different industries and businesses to see which ones are most viable and have the greatest potential for success.
Create a business plan. A business plan is essential for any new business. It outlines your business goals, strategies, and how you plan to achieve them.
Get funding. Start-up costs can be daunting, so it's essential to secure funding from friends, family, or investors as early as possible.
Establish the proper legal structure. Having the right business structure will allow you to accomplish your goals. An LLC provides tax advantages, liability protection, and many other benefits, and you can save time and stress by going through an online service.
Build a strong team. Building a solid team of professionals is key to the success of any business. Find people who share your vision and are passionate about what you're trying to achieve.
Stay focused and motivated. Launching a new business is no easy task, so you must stay focused and motivated throughout the process. Celebrate every small victory and don't get discouraged by setbacks along the way.
Taking Care of Yourself
To be your best self, you must take care of yourself in all aspects of your life. That means making time for physical activity, practicing self-care, and nurturing your mental and emotional health. When you're feeling your best, you'll be better positioned to achieve your financial goals and build a successful career.
As a female veteran, you have unique financial and career needs. But there's no limit to what you can achieve with the right advice and resources.
In this article, we've outlined some essential steps to take when tackling your debt, purchasing a home, and building a career in a field you're passionate about. Keep learning how to lay a foundation for a fulfilling life, and foster your well-being along the way. You'll be living your dream in no time!

A garden cart is a type of wheeled vehicle designed to carry gardening supplies, tools, and materials. Many garden carts have spoke wheels, which are made up of a series of metal or wooden rods that radiate out from the center of the wheel. Spoke wheels are strong and sturdy, making them ideal for carrying heavy loads.
If you have a garden, then you know how important it is to have a good garden cart. Garden carts make it easy to move around your plants and soil, and they can also be used to transport other gardening supplies. One of the most important features of a garden cart is the wheels.
The right type of wheels will make your cart easier to maneuver and will also help protect your plants from damage. Spoke wheels are one type of wheel that is commonly used on garden carts. These wheels have spokes that radiate out from the center of the wheel, and they are typically made from metal or plastic.
One advantage of spoke wheels is that they provide good traction on soft surfaces like dirt or grass. This means that your cart will be less likely to get stuck in mud or sand. Another advantage of spoke wheels is that they are relatively inexpensive.
However, spoke wheels can be more difficult to clean than some other types of wheels, so keep this in mind if you are worried about dirt and debris buildup on your cart.
How to Build a Wood Spoke Wheel (With a Router Table)
What is the Best Garden Cart Spoke Wheel
A spoke wheel is a type of wheel that is composed of a central hub with radiating spokes emanating from it. Spoke wheels have been used for centuries on everything from bicycles to wagons. They are strong and durable, making them ideal for use in garden carts.
When choosing a garden cart spoke wheel, there are several things to consider. The first thing to look at is the material the wheel is made from. Garden carts typically see a lot of use and abuse, so it’s important to choose a material that can withstand regular wear and tear.
Many spoke wheels are made from steel or aluminum, which are both durable materials. Another option is plastic, but these wheels are not as durable as metal ones and may not be able to support as much weight. Next, consider the size of the wheel.
Garden carts come in different sizes, so it’s important to choose a size that will fit your particular model. Larger wheels may be more difficult to maneuver but can handle rougher terrain; smaller wheels may be easier to maneuver but won’t do as well on rough ground. Finally, think about the tread pattern on the tire.
Some tires have smooth treads while others have more aggressive tread patterns designed for better traction on soft or uneven surfaces.
Garden Cart Wheels
Garden carts are a great way to move heavy loads of gardening supplies, soil, and plants around your yard or garden. But what good is a garden cart if it doesn’t have wheels that can handle the weight? That’s why it’s important to choose the right type of wheels for your garden cart.
Here are some things to keep in mind when selecting garden cart wheels: The first thing you need to consider is the material the wheel is made from. Garden carts typically have either plastic or metal wheels.
Plastic wheels are lighter weight and easier to maneuver, but they may not be able to support as much weight as metal wheels. Metal wheels are more durable and can carry heavier loads, but they may be more difficult to maneuver. Next, you need to think about the size of the wheel.
Garden carts usually have either four or six-inch diameter wheels. Four-inch diameter wheels are best for light duty tasks, while six-inch diameter wheels can handle heavier loads. If you plan on using your garden cart on rough terrain, larger diameter tires may be necessary in order to avoid getting stuck.
Finally, pay attention to tire tread when selecting garden cart tires. Smooth tread tires will provide better traction on pavement and other smooth surfaces, while knobby tread tires will do better on loose dirt and gravel. If you’re not sure which type of tire tread is best for your needs, ask a salesperson at your local nursery or gardening store for advice.
Garden Cart Replacement Wheels
If you’re in the market for garden cart replacement wheels, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, what size do you need? Garden carts come in many different sizes, so it’s important to measure your existing wheels and axle before making a purchase.
Second, what type of terrain will you be using your cart on? If you’ll be rolling over rough terrain, make sure to get wheels that are durable and can handle the bumps. Finally, consider your budget.
Replacement wheels can range in price from a few dollars to hundreds of dollars, so it’s important to find something that fits both your needs and your wallet. Once you’ve considered all of these factors, it’s time to start shopping! You can find replacement garden cart wheels at most hardware or home improvement stores.

With a little bit of research, you should have no trouble finding the perfect set of replacement wheels for your garden cart!
Garden Cart Wheels And Axle
Garden carts are a great way to move heavy loads of dirt, mulch, or other materials around your yard. But what good is a garden cart if it doesn’t have wheels? Garden cart wheels and axles provide the necessary support and mobility for your garden cart.
There are a few things to consider when choosing garden cart wheels and axles. First, you need to decide on the size of the wheels. Garden cart wheels come in different diameters, so you’ll need to choose ones that are appropriate for the size of your garden cart.
Second, you need to decide on the material of the wheels and axles. Garden carts typically use either plastic or rubber tires, but metal alloy or aluminum alloy wheels and axles are also available. Third, think about how you want your garden cart to be able to move.
Do you want fixed wheels for added stability, or swivel casters for easier maneuverability? Fourth, consider the weight capacity of the garden cartwheels and axles before making your purchase. You don’t want to overload your garden cart and cause damage to the tires or axle!

Delta Easy Clip mounting is great. The Easy Clip makes installation a breeze and it feels sturdy and locked in.
On the down side - the retaining screw which holds the hook in place seems to have a design flaw. After tightening it, a week later, the screw seems to have come nearly out of place. Its been 3 weeks that I've done this. I'll most likely look into using Loctite threadlocker or something similar to keep the retaining screw in place.

Apologies for the picture. It's reversed for some reason and generally not good. If you look closely you can see the stub of a tiny screw at the bottom of the silver bulb. I have to figure out how to tighten the screw to raise it up to hold the hanger in place. I'm not even sure that something more isn't missing. The instruction sheet pdf was not helpful. Thanks to the other reviewers for the remedies they suggested but as they said they are at best temporary fixes. Not happy with this item and the time, effort and money it will take to replace it.
If anyone has come up with another solution for this that doesn't involve replacing it altogether, I'd be happy to hear it.

Super accessories for our 3/4 bath.
They could be reversible though for better functionality in our bathroom. The right side opening is awkward. We wanted to center the tp holder centered on the vanity. We couldn't do that and be able to get tp onto the holder.

The single arm makes it east to refill toilet paper rolls. But the pivoting arm is held by a screw that keeps coming loose over time and the arm falls off repeatedly during use.

We are the greatest nation on earth, and today we celebrate our independence.
Like much of the world, we speak English – the language of the oppressed.
How did we defeat the British Empire to secure our freedom? Nation after nation, and people after people, failed to do so before us. Nations where English is now commonly spoken.
Our independence is remarkable – miraculous even. Perhaps even more remarkable, is how our democratic republic was birthed, and the survival of our fragile experiment of freedom.
However, as I reflect on our independence this year, I am also filled with grief. As a people who had been subject to oppression, we turned around and oppressed others. It’s been said, “hurt people, hurt people.”
Our great nation has been both the oppressed, and the oppressor. Since our ancestors have arrived in the Americas, we have chosen oppression. We almost completely wiped out the indigenous peoples. By just about any definition, we are guilty of genocide.
We didn’t stop there.
Our nation has enslaved millions of people, whom were stolen from their homes and families in Africa. We didn’t even call them people. Even 100 years before we declared our independence, Blacks were legally called “chattel”; personal property.
And when we finally declared our independence from the British Empire, we made the bold statement that it is self-evident that all men are created equal. We followed up a few years later with a Constitution—the legal foundation for our new nation—that counted Blacks as 3/5 of a person. Our oppression of these people stolen from Africa didn’t end with slavery. We overtly oppressed them until the Civil Rights in the 1960’s. To this day, we still have systems of oppression in place. Four hundred years of cruelty and oppression continue to wreak their havoc.
While we are the greatest nation on earth, and I’m incredibly grateful to be here, we cannot ignore our past. As Jemar Tisby writes, “there can be no reconciliation without repentance. There can be no repentance without confession. And there can be no confession without truth.”
Let’s name the truth. We’re a land of incredible opportunity and freedom, AND we have some very dark stains, both past and present. If we’re going to be the great nation we desire to be, we need to embrace the “and.”
Today I celebrate; AND I grieve. Will you name the truth with me?

BANKS — “The best way I can describe it, it was a like a heavyweight fight that went the distance,” said Seaside coach Joel Dierickx, following his team’s 8-7 loss at Banks Tuesday night.
The game was highlighted by five lead changes, with the final lead change coming in the bottom of the seventh on a walk-off single by Hayden Vandehey of Banks with the bases loaded.
Seaside held a 1-0 lead after one inning; the Braves scored twice in the second to take a brief lead, before the Gulls scored four in the top of the third; and Banks scored two in the fourth and two more in the sixth to go in front, 6-5.
Not to be outdone, Seaside scored twice in the top of the seventh to take a 7-6 advantage.
But with one out in the bottom of the seventh, the Braves rallied with a hit batter, followed by a second out, then a single, a walk, an intentional walk to load the bases, and Vandehey’s game-winning single to left, scoring Jared Evans.
Seaside starter Scotty Plampin threw a solid six innings, allowing 10 hits with four strikeouts and two walks before giving way to Brent Walsh in the seventh.
The Gulls had six hits off two Banks’ pitchers, including two hits and three RBIs by Duncan Thompson, with a double. Otto Hoekstre added a double and drove in two runs, and Dawson Blanchard also had two RBIs for Seaside, while the Braves had a home run by Gunnar Partain, and doubles by Casey McGough, Trevor Thiessen and Kylan Taylor.


Stitching stretchy fabrics can be challenging if you don’t know the right way to go about it. Fortunately, we are blessed with sewing machines and sergers that make the entire process a lot easier for us. When it comes to stretchy knits, leggings with narrow openings make it tricky for individuals to use it. That’s why you need to learn the right way to hem your leggings.
Hemming leggings are as essential as adding buttons to a shirt. Hemmed leggings will hold the stretchy fabric and prevent unnecessary puckering. If you don’t want to struggle with your legging’s thread coming out, you need to learn how to hem your legging pants with a serger. This article is all about discovering the right way to hem your pants for the best. Without further ado, let’s get started!
How To Hem Leggings With A Serger?
First, you need to pin the leggings in the right length and press it using your hand or iron rod. Make sure not to burn your fabric by keeping your iron too hot. You can also cut the extra length, which you don’t need. Now fold the new hem before starting to hem. Start hemming close to the folded edge; you would not want to leave more space.
Step-By-Step Guide To Hem Your Leggings
It is always good to have a detailed explanation of every sewing step. We have aligned you with a step-by-step approach to hem your leggings and get a nice and neat finish to it.
Step 1: Pin At The Right Length
It goes without saying that every wearer has a different length for their leggings. You need to ensure that before hemming the leggings, you have got the right length. The right length can be different for different people. Hence pinning it before hemming will help you avoid any blunders. Don’t go with the customary length guidelines that are set by people, like hem it 2 inches. Measure your length and pin it inside out before starting to hem. It might be a little tricky to pin with a narrow-legged opening.
Step 2: Don’t Forget To Press
When you pin a new hemline for your leggings, make sure to press it. Take help from the ironing board and place your legging on top of it. Make sure that your hot iron is not too hot that it burns your leggings. Use the right temperature setting for the type of fabric you are using for your leggings. Pressing the hem will give a neat definition to the line and removes the guesswork from the process. This will also help in creating a definitive crease on your legging later.
Step 3: Try Cutting The Extra
When you measure the length of your legging, there will be some fabric left. You need to fold the entire fabric before hemming; it will create an unnecessary bulge in your legging that will ruin its look. Instead, you can try cutting the extra length. This step will make your task much easier when you are hemming the leggings. You can avoid this step if you want to keep the extra fabric, just in case you want to increase the length someday.
Step 4: Fold and Press
Folding the hem will never go waste; you need to work upon the folding and pressing before you bring it any closer to the serger. Nicely fold the leggings at the seams and repeat on both sides. You can pin it up for extra protection to get a clear definition of the fabric while hemming. Folding will help in placing the legging on the serger/sewing machine without disturbing the measurement.
Step 5: Hem It Close To The Edge
Now the final and most crucial step is to start hemming. When you are using a serger, you need to be careful with the needle you use. Twin needle hemming is considered ideal for leggings and stretchy knits. It creates two rows of straight stitches on the reverse and topside, resembling a zig-zag pattern. This pattern is the common thing that you will notice on leggings’ hemming. People also prefer skipped stitches that go well with fabrics like lycra or spandex.
Choose a perfect needle and hemming pattern and start hemming. There you go, you will get nicely hemmed leggings that you can start stitching.
What Is The Coverstitch Machine?
A more improvised version of the serger, a cover stitch machine, is exclusively meant for hemming your stretchy knits. The benefit of using a cover stitch machine or a regular sewing machine is that you will get more neat hemming that will prevent your fabric from puckering. You need to find the best cover stitch machine that can offer you the best quality hems you need. Doing a reverse cover stitching to give a decorative look to your leggings and also secure it. It is used on the right side of the fabric, making your leggings look aesthetically appealing.
What Are The Tips To Hem Narrow Leg Opening On The Round?
When you are hemming on the narrow leg opening around the leg, you need to be extra careful. A little mistake can ruin your entire fabric. Here are a few tips that you must keep handy.
- Always keep the seam allowance and fold it in the opposite direction. Coverstitch machines won’t take the uneven surface. So, you need to make sure that you are feeding it evenly. Folding the seams will give the required definition to your leggings and help you in the hemming.
- Always try to hand baste a hem using large stitches before you put it in the machine. Make sure your basting doesn’t overlap your stitching. The best way to go about it is by placing your basting right below the actual stitches.
- Turning the leggings inside out will help you a ton while stitching. However, you will still be stitching from the right side of the fabric. In case of reverse cover stitching, you need to do the exact opposite of it.
- Start stitching from the inside of the leg, preferably from the inseam, as beginning from the top can mess up feeding. It depends on the type of machine you are using.
- When your hem starts stretching unnecessarily, you can try increasing the feed setting and then try once again. Make sure you don’t pull the hem when you are stitching; it can ruin your fabric.
- To ensure your stitches are strong, you can try overlapping stitches for a couple of centimeters (about ½”). Use the pull method to secure your stitches.
The finished hem will look neat and clean once you have followed all these steps while using a cover stitch machine. Hemming your leggings is an art that you can learn with regular practice.
What is Zigzag Hemming?
It is the most used hemming pattern for stretchy fabrics like leggings. The ease of creating these patterns is among the best reasons why people prefer it every time. The zigzag hem is easy to create; you just need to start with a longer stitch than a regular one (2-3″ based on the stretchiness of the fabric). Before using it on the actual fabric, you can try using it on scrap fabric and become familiar with it.
Why Are Skipped Stitches Not Preferred For Leggings?
Skipped stitches are good for stretchy fabrics, but not leggings. Leggings are body-hugging, and they need to stretch a lot. There have been instances where skipped stitches have come off when leggings are stretched too much. Skipped stitches are not best for the knit fabrics as well. It also results in holes that will start destroying your leggings. Try to avoid this stitch as much as possible and use more strong and promising stitches like zigzag. It is the best way you can protect your legging’s thread from puckering.

NTSB: Lack Of Weather Info Doomed Scott Crossfield
The NTSB on Thursday released its final report on the plane crash that killed famed aviator Scott Crossfield last year, with an unusual dual finding of blame, citing both Crossfield's failure to ask for weather updates, and air traffic control's failure to give them to him. Crossfield crashed on the morning of April 19, 2006, in Ludville, Ga., while flying alone in his Cessna 210. The safety board's determination of probable cause is: "The pilot's failure to obtain updated en route weather information, which resulted in his continued instrument flight into a widespread area of severe convective activity, and the air traffic controller's failure to provide adverse weather avoidance assistance, as required by Federal Aviation Administration directives, both of which led to the airplane's encounter with a severe thunderstorm and subsequent loss of control."

Radius Chicago, a new warehouse-style venue in the Windy City, threw their grand opening on February 29 with Dillon Francis and Party Favor.
Concertgoers across the Midwest have been anticipating the opening of Radius Chicago since the venue was first announced in December. Located within the Pilsen neighborhood in an old steel factory, Radius has a capacity of 3,800 and will instantly be making a massive impact on the region’s music scene.
Not only is the venue itself a brand new, state-of-the-art facility, but the talent they’ve booked so far has included some of the biggest artists in the industry. The grand opening was headlined by Dillon Francis and many others are lined up to play at Radius over the next few months including Tchami and CamelPhat.
The Radius Chicago grand opening was held on February 29 with epic performances from Party Pupils, Party Favor, and Dillon Francis.
Fans packed into the new venue early. Upon walking up to Radius, the ticket windows and security checkpoints were all managed well. Considering the long security lines found at nearly every show at Aragon Ballroom on the other side of the city, Radius’ crowd control was much better than the competition.
The capacity of Radius puts it in between the size of Concord Music Hall and Aragon Ballroom, the city’s two main venues for touring acts in the dance music scene. However, it’s clear that this new venue instantly steals the title of the city’s best large concert hall.
While the building is part of an old steel factory, it looks more like a venue specifically built for concerts. The ceiling is unfinished and some elements of the old warehouse still remain, and Radius Chicago has a similar vibe to The Armory in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Both venues were recently opened in newly renovated historical buildings and quickly hosted some of the city’s biggest shows.
After entering Radius Chicago’s main entrance, go straight ahead and you’re directly in the back middle of the dance floor.
Similar to The Armory, there are two huge bars directly on each side of the floor that reach from the near front stage to the back of the crowd. There’s also a bar in the back of the venue as well as a grill with several freshly cooked food items. In the same area, you’ll also find a coat check and an artist merchandise booth.
While the crowd got bigger and rowdier throughout the night, Radius had no problem fitting everyone in with plenty of room to dance.
Radius is a completely flat event space with unobstructed views of the stage, and there is a balcony available for VIP experiences as well. It was a much more pleasant experience walking through the crowd and finding a good spot here compared to similar venues where it’s nearly impossible to walk anywhere.
There are also additional bars, a smoking section, and more bathrooms on the right side of the stage.
The bathrooms in the back of the venue were small and could get crowded quickly, but the ones on the right side of the venue were a less crowded option. In addition to two more bars in this area, there was also a smoking section, which is yet another way Radius stands out as both Concord and Aragon ban smoking at their venues completely.
The light show was incredible and the sound was crisp, and Radius proved that their production is all it was hyped up to be.
As soon as the venue was announced, Radius Chicago advertised its impressive sound system and acoustics. After just one night at the venue, it’s clear that the production at Radius exceeds expectations. The D&B KSL sound system is loud and high quality, and the light show and onstage visuals were incredible and unlike anything else in the city.
Following the opening night, the legendary Carl Cox headlined Radius next weekend to a sold-out crowd.
With Tchami and Dr. Fresch up next, Radius Chicago will make it three unforgettable weekends in a row to kick off their much-anticipated opening. Radius will then branch out to other genres with Doja Cat, Lil Wayne, and Killswitch Engage through March and April. CamelPhat will stop by on April 17 to celebrate the opening of Cermak Hall, a 10,000 square foot separate theater space within the same building. Tickets to all events can be found on their website.
I can’t say enough about how pleasant the overall experience at Radius was.
Virtually everyone that has seen the venue agrees: it’s exactly what the Chicago music scene needs. There’s plenty of venues scattered throughout the city, but we’re really lacking in one main attraction, similar to what the now closed Congress Theater was years ago. There’s no debating that Radius Chicago is currently taking the crown as Chicago’s #1 music venue.
Radius is just a few weeks old, but it’s obvious that this is a venue that is a truly groundbreaking and trendsetting development for the music scene in Chicago and beyond. Founder Nick Karounos has played a major role in the city’s biggest venues including The Mid, Prysm Nightclub, and Concord, and Radius Chicago is his finest work yet. With more announcements on the way, expect things to only get bigger and better as time goes on. Radius is a state-of-the-art venue that’s here to stay.
