MIDAS SHARE TIPS: Don't grab a slice of pizza giant Domino's just yet as chain issues a cautious update
The long, hot summer has seen people lighting up barbecues rather than phoning for pizzas and that's bad news for Domino's Pizza. This week the chain issued a cautious update on the UK, which accounts for over 80 per cent of turnover.
Domino's reported a 5.9 per cent increase in like-for-like sales in the UK and Ireland for the first half of the year, which takes us up to July 1, with operating profit up 8.1 per cent to £48.2million.
The summer seems to have got off to a good start – the group says it sold a whopping 8.2million pizzas during the World Cup, but it has not yet revealed the impact of the ongoing heatwave.
Hotting up: The fine weather may have affected Domino's summer sales
Domino's insists that it is on track to meet full year forecasts, but concerns have been raised about its overseas operations. While it turned a profit in Germany and Iceland, developments in Switzerland and Sweden have so far been less successful.
Overall the overseas arm made an operating loss of £1.8million in the first half. At the same time, debt has tripled to £182.1million as expansion efforts continue.
Domino's has warned that customers are feeling the pinch as their disposable incomes remain flat. That means pricing and value becomes more important.
But Domino's received top marks for value from 33 per cent of its customers. Convenience, too, is paramount, and the group saw online sales in the UK grow 14 per cent year-on-year, now accounting for almost 79 per cent of sales.
Concerns remain. Domino's had expected to open 80 new stores in 2018, but has cut that estimate to 60. And just 22 new outlets were opened in the first half of the year, so it will need to ramp up progress to reach this latest forecast.
Investors let their response be known this week as £146million was wiped off the value of the firm, with the shares falling 10 per cent from 320p on the update, though by the end of the week they had recovered slightly to 297p.
Analysts at Liberum have a 'sell' rating on the stock. The broker thinks that the rate of new store openings will slow and is concerned about rising costs.
Midas verdict: Domino's, like so many other fast food chains, has headwinds to battle in the form of rises in food costs and the National Living Wage, and high business rates. Current investors should hold. New investors may want to find out how a scorching summer has affected sales before deciding whether to grab a slice of the action.

One of my favorite writers on health care policy is Michael F. Cannon of the libertarian Cato Institute. He has an article in Forbes magazine that I think is a good level-set for the Obamacare changes that are happening in 2014 and beyond.
[…]President Obama announced, just days before the deadline for purchasing coverage with a January 1 effective date, that he would offer a categorical “hardship exemption” from the individual mandate to anyone who had their insurance cancelled due to ObamaCare.
[…]If these folks choose not to buy health insurance, they will not face a penalty. They will also have the option to buy, “if it is available in your area,” the lower-cost catastrophic coverage that ObamaCare otherwise offers only to people under age 30, or who receive the separate “unaffordability” exemption from the mandate.
The obvious purpose of this policy is to give political cover to Senate Democrats who must face the voters next year, and are no doubt afraid of attack ads like this one.
[…]Yet this exemption may not be of much value to those who qualify, and is likely to create more problems for ObamaCare supporters than it solves.
The people who qualify for this exemption don’t actually want it. They want health insurance. They had affordable coverage, until ObamaCare took it away from them, and that’s what they still want now. Sebelius boasts that ObamaCare’s catastrophic plans cost 20 percent less than other ObamaCare plans, but don’t confuse that with affordable coverage. The Manhattan Institute’s Avik Roy — who is now the opinion editor for the sprawling Forbes empire – notes that ObamaCare’s catastrophic plans can still cost twice as much as what was previously available on the individual market.
But even if they like their catastrophic plan, they can’t keep it. Sebelius has complete control over the duration of the exemptions, which she has described as a “temporary” step “to smooth [consumers’] transition” to enrollment in Exchange plans. So in a matter of months, Obama will violate his “if you like your health plan” pledge again by kicking these folks out of their catastrophic plans. They will get another cancellation letter tossing them into the Exchanges. Their premiums will surge again. They may lose their doctor again.
The exemption means insurers will suffer losses this year, and rates will be higher next year, for all ObamaCare plans.
The president argued before the Supreme Court that ObamaCare’s regulatory scheme cannot work with out the individual mandate. Yet he has now exempted millions of the very people he most needs to comply with it. This exemption siphons good risks out of the Exchanges and destabilizes the risk pools for both the standard ObamaCare plans and the catastrophic plans. Participating carriers set the rates for their Exchange plans with the expectation that these folks would be purchasing bronze, silver, gold, and platinum plans through the Exchanges. But the healthiest members of this now-exempt group are the most likely to go uninsured or purchase a catastrophic plan. So Obama’s blanket exemption makes those risk pools older and sicker.
This blanket exemption also destabilizes the risk pools for the catastrophic plans. It opens those pools to lots of people over age 30, who have higher health expenses than people under age 30, and whom the insurers were not expecting to buy catastrophic plans when they set those rates.
So the effect of this is going to be to raise rates temporarily, because the insurers companies are not getting the younger, healthy people they need to make the rates as low as they originally calculated. They are going to lose a ton of money because the Democrats are changing the rules at the last minute. They people who have coverage are going to be the ones who make all the claims, and the people who normally don’t make claims are now exempt, temporarily – until the 2014 elections. This is going to be a huge hit to the health insurance companies.
As I noted before, the Democrats are going to have to bail out the insurance companies in order to account for the losses. It’s actually in the Obamacare law already, as David Freddoso explained. But will the Democrats use money from their political party to pay for their mistakes? Hell no – they will borrow it from your children, which is what they are so good at doing. There is a cost for electing incompetent people, and it’s going to continue to rise until the fools are voted out.

We were walking in Berlin, looking around when we ended up in front of the Bagel Company. Bagels did not originate in Germany, but the different stories I found confirm an Easter Europe origin directly or indirectly linked to Poland (some say it is coming from there, others that it was a viennese bread to celebrate the Polish King Jan III Sobieski for saving the people of Austria from Turkish invaders). What is sure is that they existed for Centuries before coming to the United States at the end of the 19th Century, brought by Jewish immigrants.
I never had a bagel before going to London many years ago: bagels are not known in France. But the best bagels I ever ate were in the United States.
So, back to the Bagel Company: they have a large selection of sandwiches and spreads (curry/chicken, tuna, feta/tomato, or dried tomato and basil spread, lettuce and vegetables), as well as several types of bagels (plain, whole wheat...). The size of the bagels is probably 80% less than the one we find here.
So, first we tried the whole wheat with cream cheese.
It was good. Simple and good.
Then, we picked the Salami bagel.
It was served with cream cheese, salami, lettuce and tomato. It was good, but there was only one slice of salami, so you could barely taste it. I also preferred the whole wheat bagel.
In term of price, it was a bit higher than what one would be paying here, but it is a safe choice!
Rosenthaler Str. 69
Note: they have several locations in Berlin.
Enjoy (I did)!

Deities Associated with Thursday – Jupiter, Roman God
Jupiter, also known as Jove, is the god of sky and thunder, as well as the king of gods in Ancient Roman Mythology. Jupiter is the top god of the Roman pantheon.Jupiter was considered the chief deity of Roman state religion during the Republican and Imperial eras, until Christianity became the dominant religion.
Zeus is Jupiter’s equivalent in Greek Mythology. The two share the same features and characteristics.
Due to Jupiter’s popularity, the Romans named the largest planet in the solar system after him.
Jupiter is depicted with a beard and long hair. His other attributes include scepter, eagle, cornucopia, aegis, ram, and lion.
Jupiter, the Planet
The ancient Babylonians were the first known people to record their sightings of the planet Jupiter. The Babylonians’ recordings date back to the seventh century BC. It was initially named after Jupiter, the king of the Roman gods. To the Greeks, the planet represented Zeus, their god of thunder, while the Mesopotamians saw Jupiter as their god, Marduk.
Jupiter and Zeus are equivalents in ancient mythology. The share the same traits and characteristics.
The Greek god Zeus was the top Olympian god in the Greek pantheon. After he took credit for rescuing his brothers and sisters from their father Cronus, Zeus became king of heaven and gave his brothers, Poseidon and Hades, the sea and the underworld, respectively, for their domains.
Zeus was the husband of Hera, but he had many affairs with other goddesses, mortal women, and female animals.
Zeus mated with, among others, Aegina, Alcmena, Calliope, Cassiopea, Demeter, Dione, Europa, Io, Leda, Leto, Mnemosyne, Niobe, and Semele.
He is king on Mount Olympus, the home of the Greek gods. He is also credited as the father of Greek heroes and the ancestor of many other Greeks. Zeus mated with many mortals and goddesses but is married to his sister Hera (Juno).
Zeus is the son of the Titans Cronus and Rhea. He is the brother of his wife Hera, his other sisters Demeter and Hestia, and his brothers Hades, Poseidon.
Etymology of Zeus and Jupiter
The root of both “Zeus” and “Jupiter” is in a proto-Indo-European word for the often personified concepts of “day/light/sky”.
Zeus Abducts Mortals:
There are many myths about Zeus. Some involve demanding acceptable conduct of others, whether human or divine. Zeus was enraged with the behavior of Prometheus. The titan had tricked Zeus into taking the non-meat portion of the original sacrifice, so that mankind could enjoy the food. In response, the king of the gods deprived mankind of the use of fire so they wouldn’t be able to enjoy the boon they’d been granted, but Prometheus found a way around this, and stole some of the gods’ fire by hiding it in a stalk of fennel and then giving it to mankind. Zeus punished Prometheus with having his liver pecked out every day.
But Zeus himself misbehaves — at least according to human standards. It is tempting to say that his primary occupation is that of seducer. In order to seduce, he sometimes changed his shape into that of an animal or bird.
· When he impregnated Leda, he appeared as a swan [see Leda and the Swan].
· When he abducted Ganymede, he appeared as an eagle [see Zeus and Ganymede] in order to take Ganymede to the home of the gods where he would replace Hebe as cupbearer; and
· when Zeus carried off Europa, he appeared as a tempting white bull
— although why the Mediterranean women were so enamored of bulls is beyond the imaginative capacities of this urban-dweller — setting in motion the quest of Cadmus and the settling of Thebes. The hunt for Europa provides one mythological version of the introduction of letters to Greece.
The Olympic Games were initially held to honor Zeus.

Leslie Danielle Bethea received the 24 month sentence last month in U.S. District Court in Greeneville. In addition to the prison sentence, Bethea was ordered to pay more than $85,000 in restitution.
Bethea was named in a 34-count sealed indictment last year, with prosecutors charging her with 28 counts of wire fraud, aggravated identify theft, conspiracy, trafficking and unlawful possession of counterfeit credit cards.
She pleaded guilty last December to one count each of wire fraud and conspiracy, facing up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Prosecutors say that from January 2016 through January 2018, Bethea stole the personal information of various people, made fake credit and debit cards and used them to make purchases at American Airlines, retail stores and restaurants.
The indictment outlines the alleged scheme as follows:
— Bethea purchased blank plastic credit and debit cards with embedded magnetic strips from the Internet.
— She then illegally obtained personal information (names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers) from various people.
— Prosecutors say Bethea used an embossing machine to stamp the fronts of the fake cards with the names of people who would later present them to merchants.
— The magnetic strips on the reverse side of the cards were then re-coded with legitimate card numbers.
This allowed Bethea and others to make credit and debit cards that were not immediately rejected by merchants, the indictment states.
In 2017, from January to May, Bethea used the fake cards to purchase $48,000 in airline tickets from American Airlines. The fraud involved more than 100 transactions for dozens of people, including Bethea, prosecutors say.
The flights to more than a dozen major cities were arranged through various travel websites.
Prosecutors say Bethea also obtained information from numerous legitimate Morgan Chase bank customers, using it in dozens of transactions to buy $7,900 in goods and services. Merchants included hotels, restaurants, retail and furniture stores and service businesses, like travel and nails.
Finally — according to the plea agreement — Bethea filed false income tax returns with the IRS in 2016 and 2017, claiming $35,700 in fraudulent returns.

Ole Miss Softball Recognized For Academic Achievements Five Rebels Honored By NFCA For Academic Work
Head coach Windy Thees' Ole Miss softball team was recognized Monday for its strong academic work.
Oct. 7, 2013
OXFORD, Miss. – The Ole Miss softball team’s hard work in the classroom throughout the 2012-13 academic year was recognized by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association, as the association announced Monday afternoon that five Rebels were named NFCA All-America Scholar Athletes.
Brittany Broome, Allison Brown, Alyssa Invergo, Londen Ladner and Kelly Nolan were named NFCA All-America Scholar Athletes for holding a GPA of 3.5 or higher for both the fall 2012 and spring 2013 academic years. In addition, the Ole Miss softball team was also recognized as a 2013 NFCA Top Ten All-Academic Team for holding a GPA of 3.18.
“I’m really proud of how hard our girls worked in the classroom and our academic counselor, Abigail McDonald Drescher, has done a great job,” Ole Miss head coach Windy Thees said. “Now we will be looking for even more improvements this year in the classroom and on the field so we can be the best in both areas.”
The Rebels enter year three under the tutelage of Thees, associate head coach Mike Perniciaro and assistant coach Julie Meyer with 13 letterwinners returning, including the entire starting infield. The Rebels led the Southeastern Conference and were third nationally with a .979 fielding percentage last season. Ole Miss’ 16-9 start last season tied the second best start in program history for the opening 25 games, and the Rebels’ nine-game winning streak from Feb. 20-March 1 tied the program’s longest winning streak.
Ole Miss closes out its fall exhibition schedule Thursday with a home doubleheader against Northwest Mississippi Community College at the Ole Miss Softball Complex at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. CT.

Adding: “Life and football will go on and this can be a good lesson for us, at least for young players like me in the future, so I hope our fans and people in Iran will forgive us and I’m sorry that’s all.”
The American team beat their Iranian counterpart 1-0 in a match that took place on the grounds of the Al-Tumama stadium.

England team: 7 points.

Iran national team: 3 points.
Wales: one point.


I labelled all the modules and kept track of their performance individually throughout the process. When it came time to rebuild the pack, I was curious if I should put it back exactly how I took it apart or “rotate the tires” or what. I couldn’t find a definitive answer on what the best thing to do was, so I used of the only metrics I had. I averaged out each module’s discharge over the 3 cycles and ranked them. Then I paired the modules together so the “strongest” was with the “weakest” and so on. So #1 went with #28, #2 with #27 etc. I saw someone mention this method, and for lack of anything else particularly sensible to do I went with it as well.
From there, the only tricky thing left was getting the modules back into the pack. It’s a tight squeeze! Each module has to line up with the hole in the bottom so that the screw can fasten it, so there’s not a lot of room for error. I used a super high tech block of wood.
I removed just enough modules to be able to fit a 2×4 in there. Then I fastened the screws on top and on the bottom and used those screws to compress the modules. This let me get all the screws in the bottoms of all the modules, so releasing the pressure wouldn’t cause the modules too shift too much.
The last module was a tight squeeze:
There was no real trick here, I just mashed it in and tightened ‘er down. That said, I did find it easier to hook the plastic end piece on the bolts then jam the last module in as opposed to putting the module in and trying to hook the plastic end piece on.

I have been on a Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald kick lately… I saw the trailer for the new Great Gatsby movie so I picked up the book again.
Even though, they were both pretty crazy, (let’s be honest, what famous artist/author or really, any creative person is not just a tad messed up?) their real-life stories are pretty interesting and I absolutely love that he dedicated all his books to her.

2018 was a wild year for North Carolina politics. Don’t expect things to get any tamer in 2019.
For this column, I tried to stay away from anything safe — so predicting that Dan Forest will announce a run for governor was out. Bold predictions only. Here we go.
1) 9th Congressional District goes to special election — and Republicans hold the seat
One way or another, expect the absentee by mail election fraud to prevent Republican Mark Harris from being seated. Either the U.S. House or the State Board of Elections will force a new race, sending the 9th Congressional District back to a primary.
In a crowded primary field, the Republican Party will nominate a new candidate. And in a race with millions of dollars poured in from national groups, the Republican will edge out a victory over Democrat Dan McCready.
2) General Assembly fails to pass a budget
Without the benefit of a supermajority, Republicans in the state legislature could have a lot harder time getting bills passed. Gov. Roy Cooper will continue his torrid vetoing pace in 2019.
The long session will produce a budget that passes handily in the state House and Senate, including a massive teacher pay raise. But Republican leadership will maintain the personal income tax rate and shave another quarter-point off the corporate tax rate — drawing a gubernatorial veto.
Without the votes to override, North Carolina will remain budgetless. Luckily, the General Assembly has already thought through this scenario and required the state to maintain its existing budget in the absence of a new one.
3) Roy Cooper’s approval ratings fall significantly
After two years of being able to stay above the political fray and serve as a fundraiser and figurehead, Gov. Roy Cooper will be forced in 2019 to make actual consequential decisions. In doing so, his stock will fade in the eye of the public and Cooper’s sky-high approval ratings will come down to earth.
4) Charlotte tries to back out of hosting the Republican National Convention
In a tumultuous municipal election, Charlotte’s City Council will turn over their more moderate Democratic members and install a council that’s much farther to the left.
After the council narrowly voted to support hosting the 2020 RNC by a 6-5 vote, the new council will mount a campaign to withdraw. They’ll have the votes — but only the veto of Mayor Vi Lyles will keep the RNC in Charlotte.
5) Jeff Jackson, Kathy Manning and Linda Coleman headline crowded Democratic U.S. Senate primary
Smelling blood, Democrats will pack the primary to challenge U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis in 2020.
N.C. Sen. Jeff Jackson will be the prohibitive favorite, but Democrats will continue to be self-conscious about putting forward white male candidates. Energized by relatively close Congressional races in 2018, Linda Coleman and Kathy Manning will throw their hats in the ring.
6) Supreme Court punts on gerrymandering and Republicans re-draw Congressional districts for 2020
The SCOTUS will again refuse to make a definitive ruling on partisan gerrymandering, too worried about what the ripple effects would be of setting a framework for what’s legal and what’s not. This will set off another two years of uncertainty and ping-ponging court decisions.
Expecting a federal Court of Appeals to insist on new lines drawn by a special master, the General Assembly will preemptively draw new ones for the 2020 contest that will effectively cede one seat in the delegation (sorry, George Holding) but maintain Republican dominance.
7) State overhauls economic incentive structure
Chastened by continually losing out on major economic development projects, North Carolina will give up on minor tweaks to per-job grants and make wholesale changes to how they recruit new business.
There will be a bitter fight among Republicans, some of whom prefer the incentive-heavy South Carolina model and some of whom prefer creating fertile ground with low taxes and
8) A third-party candidate gets elected … somewhere.
The Green Party and Constitution Party were the first of North Carolina’s new third parties to get ballot access, and they’ll get much more organized in 2019. Between those two and the Libertarians — one of the parties will win a seat somewhere on some board or council.

Today’s conference championship games between Duke and Florida State, and Michigan State and Ohio State will reveal to the country why a BCS National Championship game that doesn’t involve an SEC team is illegitimate. FSU might destroy Duke (though it wouldn’t surprise me if the Devils make it a contest), and everyone expects OSU to lose to MSU. But the Buckeyes might pull one out. Who knows? Who cares? Both FSU (#1) and OSU (#2) represent the BCS National Championship game on January 6th in Pasadena. And if they get there – it will be an illegitimate game. Any championship game that doesn’t include an SEC team is illegitimate.
Fact: 8 of the last 10 BCS Champions have been from the SEC.
Fact: The last 7 BCS Champions in a row have been SEC teams.
Fact: The SEC is The Show. Every other conference is at best AAA.
Next year’s playoffs can’t get here fast enough. It’s hard to go undefeated in the SEC. We’ve adhered to the ridiculous BCS format long enough. Just don’t complain when 3/4 of the teams in that playoff are from the Southeastern Conference.
Should FSU and OSU both win today, leading to a BCS Championship game between two big conference’s undefeated champions, at least it will be a competitive final match. But if you wanted to see the real college football championship game this year, you had to be watching the Iron Bowl last Saturday. If you missed it, here is one of the greatest endings in college football history – between two great teams.

Selling my Pro-Ject Wood turntable, solid beachwood colour. Newer belt and a spare, new bearing housing and subplatter.
This turntable was a project when I bought it, it had been dropped and the bearing housing broken.
The tonearm didn't suffer any damage other than a lost counter weight and has worked flawlessly since I bought new parts for the mechanical parts from Audio Ark. Unit doesn't come with a cartridge but has a Shure mounted for demonstration purposes. It came with a damaged Blue Point Special so this system can but upgraded easily.
I used this turntable when I got back into vinyl and it served me well but I have moved on to another deck and this one isn't getting enough use.
Comes with a clamp system that clamps the record to the platter, there is no mat with this turntable though I have seen some people use one.
Nice feature is the RCA jacks on the back so one can use whatever cables one likes. Comes is a pair of Mission cables and a ground cable as well.
Pictured is the damage to the plinth, never bothered to fix it as it didn't affect the playback.
The dustcover is newer but still has a few fine scratches on it. Overall it's a very nice sounding turntable IMO. BHD

The short story “Neighbours” by Tim Winton has a linear plot structure. The events are presented chronologically without any flashbacks or foreshadowing.
The main characters in the story are the newly-wedded couple. They move to a new neighborhood and do not get along with their neighbors at first. The old Polish man who lives next to them and the next-door Macedonian family are also significant characters in the story.
The physical setting of the story is a neighborhood in Moreton Bay, in North-East Australia. The story takes place over several seasons, probably over a year. The social setting of the story explores immigration and cultural differences.
The story is told from the perspective of a third-person narrator. The narrator appears to be limited to the couple’s thoughts and feelings.
The language used in the narrative is formal. Poetic language that includes metaphors and imagery is used to describe the scene of the wife’s labor and birth.
A full analysis of the short story can be found in the following pages.

This is a joint media release between the Australian Federal Police and Australian Border Force
A 55-year-old man is expected to face Perth Magistrate’s Court today (Friday, 28 February) after he allegedly imported about 270g of heroin wrapped in five pellets concealed inside his body.
Australian Border Force (ABF) officers selected the man for further examination after he flew into Perth on a flight from Bangkok about 7.20am yesterday (27 February).
Nothing illegal was found in his luggage but swabs taken of his mobile phone allegedly revealed traces of LSD.
The man was also requested to undertake a non-medical body scan, which returned a positive indication of internal concealment.
The man was referred to Australian Federal Police (AFP) for an internal examination and was taken by ambulance to hospital, where it will be alleged he passed five pellets.
The total weight of the five pellets was approximately 270g and indicative testing returned positive results for heroin.
Further forensic testing of the seized drugs is ongoing.
The estimated street value of 270g of heroin in WA is $135,000 and the equivalent of an estimated 1,350 street deals.
The man, who lives in Thailand, had claimed he was coming to Australia for a holiday.
He has been charged with:
- one count of importing a marketable quantity of a border controlled drug, namely heroin, contrary to section 307.2 of the Criminal Code 1995 (Cth).
The maximum penalty for this offence is 25 years imprisonment.
ABF Regional Commander for WA, James Copeman, said ABF officers are fully aware of the wide variety of methods drug smugglers will go to in the attempt to bring harmful illicit drugs into Australia.
“Our officers have the technology, skills and ability to detect and disrupt the importation of illicit drugs no matter how they are concealed,” Commander Copeman said.
“Those that try to do so via internal concealment not only risk lengthy jail time but are gambling with their own lives.
“The ABF is committed to working with our Federal and State law enforcement partners protect the Australian community.”
AFP Commander Western John Tanti says law enforcement collaboration is vital for combatting all levels of the illicit drug trade and preventing criminals from profiting from their harmful acts.
“Smuggling drugs internally is idiotic – there is the real risk that stomach acid will eat through the wrapping of the drugs and lead to a fatal drug overdose,” he said.
“These drug couriers are not just risking their own lives, they negatively impact the wider community by supplying these narcotics.
“These drugs aren’t transported hygienically and heroin certainly isn’t produced in sterile conditions – anyone who uses these drugs doesn’t really know what they’re ingesting.”
Anyone with information about the importation of illicit drugs and precursors should contact BorderWatch at Australia.gov.au/borderwatch. By reporting suspicious activities, you help protect Australia’s border. Information can be provided anonymously.
For free and confidential advice about alcohol and other drug treatment services, call the National Alcohol and Other Drug Hotline on 1800 250 015.

How to Test Soil pH
pH is a measurement of how acidic (1), neutral (7), or alkaline (14) something is. We care about this in gardening because soil pH affects how well our plants are able to uptake nutrients through their roots. Many of our plants do best near a neutral pH, around 5.5-7.5. Common exceptions include blueberries and potatoes, which can handle very acidic soil.
Many Australian soils tend to be on the acidic side of the spectrum, while raw manures are slightly alkaline. Understanding what you are working with from the start will allow you to slowly shift the soil in the right direction. Organic compost, for example, is neutral and will help to bring any garden back toward equilibrium.
There are plenty of instruments to measure soil pH and even more people that will be happy to sell them to you. It's a bit like when you go to a 4WD store looking for a road map, only to walk out with a GPS system. Both will get you there, it's just a matter of how much uncertainty you can tolerate. For our purposes, we just want a general idea and a simple soil pH test kit is perfect.
Start by taking a tablespoon-sized small soil sample from at least 10cm deep. This will prevent any surface dressing or mulches from impacting the measurement. Discard any stones or roots and place the sample on a clean surface, most kits will include a plastic card for this purpose.
Add indicator dye to your sample and mix together until a thick paste is formed. The key is to get an even distribution of dye through the sample.
Add white powder (barium sulphate) to the mixture and gently mix through. Let the sample sit for about a minute.
Compare your sample to the colour card provided. Results are most accurate within the first few minutes (just like a preganancy test), so don't dilly dally.
Soil is slightly acidic, about 6.0, but well within the threshold for our kale seedling. We've mixed organic compost into the bed and will check pH again at the end of the season. With time and a little effort, we will gradually improve the soil, but few changes will happen overnight. There's probably a life lesson in there somewhere.

Great Eggs Start with Well-Fed Hens
Did you know a hen’s diet directly impacts the quality and nutritional value of the eggs she lays? That’s why at Versova, we have a carefully structured team of engineers, nutritionists and feed experts who run a specialized, computer-controlled “kitchen” to ensure each feed formula is made with high-quality ingredients, according to the recipe that best suits each of our flocks. Our hens receive perfectly balanced diets each day that provide them with the precise amounts of vitamins, minerals and macro-nutrients required for their life stage. That’s right – our flocks are fed diets that are specifically developed for them based on their breed, age and production rate.
A common misconception is that shell color influences an egg’s flavor, quality or nutritional value. Brown eggs and white eggs that are laid by hens who are consuming the same feed ration will contain the same essential nutrients – the only factor that determines the color of an egg is the color of the hen’s feathers and earlobes.
Additionally, egg yolks get their yellow color from corn mixed into the hen’s diet. Hens transfer yellow xanthophyll pigments from the corn into the egg yolk, which gives them a rich yellow or gold color. If a hen is fed a ration made with white corn or wheat that doesn’t contain yellow pigments, she will lay eggs with yolks that are pale yellow in color.
When a hen’s diet is supplemented with special nutrients, the eggs she produces will often include higher levels of that specific nutrient. The ingredients we use in our feeds are always safe for our flocks, and often mutually beneficial for hen health and egg nutrition.
Here are a few nutrients and ingredients that are commonly mixed into Versova’s feed rations to ensure our hens are healthy and laying nutritious, high-quality eggs:
- Calcium: Egg-laying chickens require a high level of calcium in their diet so they can produce strong eggshells. The amount of calcium a hen needs depends on her age and production rate. For example, pullets (young hens) that aren’t yet laying eggs don’t need as much calcium as a hen that’s in peak production and is laying an egg nearly every day.
- Protein: It’s especially important for pullets to have an increased level of protein supplemented in their diet as they’re growing and building the foundation to become productive laying hens. As hens age, their level of needed protein decreases, but remains an essential nutrient for egg-laying hens to support strong shells and steady egg production.
- Vitamins and minerals: Whether naturally found in the crops included in feed rations, like corn, soybeans or wheat, or added manually as a supplement, vitamins and minerals promote steady egg production and strong shells. Some are passed easily from the hen to the egg during lay. For example, Vitamin D is supplemented in our hens’ feed to support strong shell development and is transferred directly to the egg and into your diet.
Versova understands that egg quality starts with hen health and nutrition, and our teams take that responsibility seriously. Above all, the primary focus of Versova’s nutrition program is ensuring our flocks are receiving the nutrients they need to live healthy, happy lives, while producing safe, nutritious eggs for families across the nation.

Learn the ins and outs of a truly unique fishing experience. (April 2010)
When managed by the Army during its early years, it was a duty assignment; to the fleeing Chief Joseph and his Nez Perce people, it was an escape route; and for a U.S. president, it was a dream and our first national park. For me, in the mid-1950s, it was my entrance into fly-fishing, fine shotguns, bird dogs, campfires, life in the wild country and the hunting and fishing opportunities that are as vast as the West itself.
The Firehole River offers the classic beauty of Yellowstone.
Photo by Jim Foster.
Yellowstone National Park offers the angler mile after mile of fishable water in an environment of protection and management to a degree unheard of at the time of the park's birth. Open country, mountains, waterfalls, geothermal ponds, geysers, forests, streams, rivers and wildlife are all part of the Yellowstone.
This is the environment encountered while fishing the streams and rivers of Yellowstone National Park. It is here that flows the Madison River and its tributaries, one of which is the Firehole River. To quote author and flyfisherman Charlie Brooks, "It's the strangest trout stream on earth." And, strange it is.
The Firehole is born as it leaves the small Madison Lake at 8,200 feet. This tiny, cold, winding brook trout stream can also hold a few pan-sized browns as it grows in size and volume nearing the famous Old Faithful geyser.
From that point on, the Firehole flows by geothermal features that empty water into the river increasing its temperature. At times, the temperatures have been measured as high as 86 degrees. Water from geothermal features contains dissolved chemicals and minerals. Despite these levels, rainbow trout live and spawn in these waters and the area boasts multiple insect hatches, even in midwinter.
Brook trout were first introduced to the upper Firehole in 1889, while brown trout, the river's most plentiful trout today, were first stocked in 1890. Rainbow trout were not introduced until 1923. Mountain whitefish are native to the Firehole below Firehole Falls never having been stocked in the park.
During the early days of the park, anglers would fish near Fishing Cone. Then, after catching a trout, dip their fish in the cone, cooking them in the boiling water. But then, all things change; all fishing there has been closed for many years near and around the cone.
In 1955, all stocking programs in the park were discontinued. Today's Firehole trout are completely wild populations. In 1968, because of the increasing fishing pressure, the river was declared a fly-fishing-only river.
In today's world, fishing the Firehole is much easier and much more pleasant with paved roads almost the entire length of the river and walking is limited to only short distances, such as where the river enters Fountain Flats. This is a flat and an easy walk, even in waders.
This part of the Firehole is currently closed to fishing from Old Faithful to just below Biscuit Basin Bridge in order to protect the many thermal features located in this area. Old timers say the fishing was never good along this part of the river.
Just before the Biscuit Bridge, the Little Firehole and Iron Spring Creek join the Firehole. These two streams add much-needed cool water to the river. The Little Firehole River is much too cold for the Firehole trout except during very warm springs and summers.
Biscuit Basin consists of about a mile of winding meadow stream, deep in places and, with an abundance of bottom dropoffs, small weedbeds and undercut banks providing holding and feeding areas for trout. The trout here are almost half and half rainbows and browns; the river's brookies need much cooler water.
All along the flat stretches of the Firehole, the trout know what an angler looks like after seeing at least one or more each day of the season.
"In areas like Biscuit Basin, Muleshoe Bend, Goose Lake Meadows and Ojo Caliente Bend, all of your fly-fishing skills will be needed," says Charley Bentworth, a resident of West Yellowstone, Montana and a regular visitor to the Firehole. "Trout here have seen flies and fishermen since their spawn and, at least for the larger trout, presentation and choice of flies is important."
Find where Muleshoe Bend makes a tight loop and you will find a half-mile of excellent dry-fly water with some large trout, and of course, many smaller ones. It's always best in this area to watch for a hatch before getting your feet wet. There have been times where trout will rise to falling snowflakes thinking they are insect hatches.
The stretch from there to the Upper Iron Bridge, about three-eighths of a mile, is quite good to excellent for a dry fly or emergent nymph. Below the bridge, a long riffle and run reaches to the upper end of Muleshoe Bend. Watch for regular hatches of the smaller insects in this area and match as close as you can.
The long riffle at the lower end of Muleshoe and continuing through Midway Geyser Basin is a stretch of river ideal for the beginner or children. Located right beside the road, it is loaded with insect life, mostly small, and the rough but not too uneven bottom offers good footing. Faster water and many riffles take some of the pressure off a "perfect" presentation. Good parking and easy access is also a major advantage.
The loop of Muleshoe Bend is usually a half-mile of excellent dry-fly water with some good fish, as long as there is a hatch or hatches in progress.
Here is one tip that has been repeated many times: Match the hatches. Matching these hatches may actually be the key to fishing the Firehole River.
As the river enters Goose Lake Meadows, the water will be cooling after the 200-degree water issued from Excelsior Springs and becomes one of the top areas for careful dry-fly presentations. More than one angler on fishing this part of the river will be using hoppers fished with a long leader and a careful mend.
Below the chute under Lower Iron Bridge, there is a fishy looking curve in the river. This is mostly full of weeds, and although at one time could brag of holding the most trout in the river has warmed and will now top 88 degrees in August. If this is the case, try fishing up Sentinel Creek where the water is cooler and the fish seem to congregate. Needless to say, give this area your best. Why? The clear water makes the trout here quite a challenge. But don't let this discourage you, many flyfishermen will hone their skills on this part of the river -- some are rewarde
d with a true bragging-sized trout.
Moving downriver is the Ojo Caliente Bend and this area is not worth the energy involved in casting. Another weedy and deeper part of the Firehole the main trout food here, over 50 percent, is the tiny black snails. Don't waste your time trying to tie a snail pattern. The insect species hatching here are also very small. Most anglers in the know move on to the Fountain Flats and break out dry flies.
Just below Ojo Caliente Bend, the river enters Fountain Flats and becomes a top wading stream in the park. Cooler water than in the bend makes this area ideal for the nymph angler. I know I have harped on dry-fly areas, but midway through the flats the river seems to have been created for the dry-fly angler. A large dragonfly type is found here and only a few other similar bottom types in the Firehole drainage. The nymph is in the water two years from egg to hatching adult and is tan to dark brown. It hatches into a fiery red-orange adult nearly 3 inches long. If you want to fish a large fly, this is the spot. It is not uncommon for fishermen in this meadow to be in the company of herds of resting elk and bison. With all the animals, predators are also common here, especially the coyote. Watch for them sneaking along the distant tree line.
The Yellowstone is bear country, and there is no guarantee of your safety. Bears and other large game animals often use trails, streams and lakeshores for travel. Entry into some areas may be restricted; check with a ranger for specific bear management information. Traveling alone in bear country is not recommended. Make enough noise to make your presence known to bears. If you should encounter a bear, give it plenty of room, detour if possible, or wait for the bear to move on. If a bear should charge or attack and the situation allows, climb a tree, or stand your ground if you have "bear spray." If all fails, try playing dead. Do not run; this may excite the bear. Carefully read all bear country guidelines and regulations and be prepared for any situation.
Fishing the Firehole River is a fly-fishing experience that every angler entering the park should experience. Ask yourself -- how many times will I get to fish over a live volcano?

Background: We assessed the short-term efficacy and safety of aztreonam lysine for inhalation (AZLI [an aerosolized monobactam antibiotic]) in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) airway infection.
Methods: In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, international study (AIR-CF1 trial; June 2005 to April 2007), patients (n = 164; >or= 6 years of age) with FEV(1) >or= 25% and <or= 75% predicted values, and no recent use of antipseudomonal antibiotics or azithromycin were treated with 75 mg of AZLI (three times daily for 28 days) or placebo (1:1 randomization), then were monitored for 14 days after study drug completion. The primary efficacy end point was change in patient-reported respiratory symptoms (CF-Questionnaire-Revised [CFQ-R] Respiratory Scale). Secondary end points included changes in pulmonary function (FEV(1)), sputum PA density, and nonrespiratory CFQ-R scales. Adverse events and minimum inhibitory concentrations of aztreonam for PA were monitored.
Results: After 28 days of treatment, AZLI improved the mean CFQ-R respiratory score (9.7 points; p < 0.001), FEV(1) (10.3% predicted; p < 0.001), and sputum PA density (- 1.453 log(10) cfu/g; p < 0.001), compared with placebo. Significant improvements in Eating, Emotional Functioning, Health Perceptions, Physical Functioning, Role Limitation/School Performance, and Vitality CFQ-R scales were observed. Adverse events were consistent with symptoms of CF lung disease and were comparable for AZLI and placebo except the incidence of "productive cough" was reduced by half in AZLI-treated patients. PA aztreonam susceptibility at baseline and end of therapy were similar.
Conclusions: In patients with CF, PA airway infection, moderate-to-severe lung disease, and no recent use of antipseudomonal antibiotics or azithromycin, 28-day treatment with AZLI significantly improved respiratory symptoms and pulmonary function, and was well tolerated.

We used to raise chickens when i was a kid in illinois, but i don't remember hardly anything. My chickens used to stop laying in the winter.
Animals expend a considerable amount of energy to stay warm and will eat more feed.
How to raise chickens in winter. In this chapter we look at why and how much water chickens need. This is not a beneficial treat for chickens. This can cause serious problems for your girls.
Winter shouldn’t be a problem for your flock. Roosts should be built at least two feet off the ground. We love having them and continue to enjoy their bounty of eggs each day.
Raising chickens in winter has its challenges, but these six tips for fall flock preparation will help your chickens get through the colder months in good health. You just need a ventilated coop without drafts, lots of food, bedding, extra light, and some opportunities for your chickens to stay entertained.

The Fales Library at New York University, which owns the papers of David Wojnarowicz, has made the artist’s journals available online. The earliest journal is from 1971, when Wojnarowicz was still a teenager, and they continue up until his death of AIDS-related illness in 1992.
The journals include sketches, dreams, poems, news clippings and scattered thoughts. The writing becomes increasingly tragic as Wojnarowicz descends into his illness–one particularly unsettling passage, a draft of a letter to a friend from the last year of Wojnarowicz’s life begins: “I think sometimes that the best thing is to die if I don’t get relief.” (There is a big X slashed across the text.) But most intriguing is the wealth of poignant musings on art and politics. One diary entry, from a trip to Berlin, written Jan. 8, 1984, reads: “Slightly sad but good at last—removed from the handcuffs of taste and dictation of critics—free to make anything or nothing.” Have a look here. Lots to see.

The Democrat Party lawfare against Donald Trump hit a major roadblock.
Now it’s damage control time.
And this star witness just destroyed the Democrat’s case against Trump.
A Deutsche Bank AG executive gave testimony that it is not unusual for loan clients to overstate their net worth, and that banks rely on their own calculations.
The fraud lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James claims that the Trump Organization overvalued its properties in order to get better bank loans.
The state of New York is looking for $250 million in penalties and a ruling that would in future prevent the Trump Organization from conducting business in the state.
“Is the bank capable of reaching its own judgment based on the evaluation it makes of the guarantor’s financial condition?” Trump attorney Jesus Suarez asked David Williams, a managing director at Deutsche Bank.
“Certainly, yes,” he responded.
“As part of our due diligence, we subject a client’s asset value to adjustments,” Williams said. “It’s part of our underwriting process. We apply it to every client regardless of what’s reported.”
“Is a difference of opinion in asset values between the client and the bank a disqualifying factor to extend credit?” Suarez asked Williams.
“No,” he replied.
“It’s just a difference of opinion. … I think we expect clients to provide information to be accurate.” But Williams added that such financial statements are made “largely relying on the use of estimates.”
Williams said that it’s “atypical, but not entirely unusual” for the bank to cut a client’s stated asset value by fifty percent but still approve the requested loan.
Former President Donald Trump highlighted the fact that the banks repaid at the agreed on interest and that no loss was suffered.
This is the first time in New York in which a borrower has been sued for fraud with no victim.
Before testifying in early November, Trump told reporters that his company’s financial statements were “very conservative,” adding, “So therefore there’s no fraud.”
After testifying, Trump said, “There’s no case here. There are no victims. The banks aren’t a victim. The insurance companies aren’t a victim. Everybody got paid.”
“The attorney general of this state is a disgrace. Letitia James is a disgrace to our country and to the state of New York,” Trump added.
“She should focus on all of the violent crimes and the murder going on in New York, not on somebody who paid back the banks in full without a default and in many cases paid them back early,” he said.

Fatal Accident Compensation Claims Explained
When someone dies in an accident, the very last thing that a loved one or family member wants to think about is starting a compensation claim if someone was at fault for the accident.
But sometimes this will follow such a terrible event and it is then for the Personal Injury Solicitors to handle the case sensitively, with the deep respect that a fatal accident case deserves; whilst they work to secure compensation for those left behind.
The first step in any fatal accident claim is to prove what Personal Injury Solicitors call “liability”; in other words that someone was at fault for the accident. For example, in a road traffic accident, an accident at work or medical negligence. If there is a dispute about liability then witness statements would need to be gathered and the issues set out and discussed between the different parties involved in the case.
However, assuming that liability can be established, then the other issue to look at is the types of loss which can be claimed for in a fatal accident legal action. Perhaps the best starting point there is the right of legal action or claim which can be brought on behalf of the deceased’s persons’ estate.
This is dealt with by The Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1934. It includes any claim for the deceased’s pain, suffering and loss of amenity along with any expenses and possibly loss of earnings the deceased may have suffered before he or she was killed in the accident.
The other type of fatal accident compensation claim is on behalf of certain people who relied upon the person who was killed in one form or another. These people are called “dependants” and the Fatal Accidents Act 1976 (as amended) allows for certain categories of people to be able to make a claim for compensation. These people include husbands, wives and civil partners and some people who might have been living with the deceased along with various other categories set out in detail in the Fatal Accidents Act.
In order to establish a claim the dependant needs to show not only that they were dependant on the deceased but also that the claim for compensation arose out of the dependency. A fatal accident claim can also be made for reasonable funeral expenses along with a sum for bereavement damages by a very limited category of people which is again set out in the Fatal Accidents Act.
There are quite complicated rules in assessing exactly how to calculate a dependency compensation claim, and great care needs to be taken in making sure that everything that needs to be is taken into account, whilst also making sure that those benefits and issues which should be excluded (such as a widow’s prospects of re-marriage) are left out.
Having secured compensation in hundreds of fatal accident compensation cases, Slater and Gordon’s team of Serious Injury Solicitors know that fatal accident cases are often highly emotional, and need to be managed sensitively, both with and for the people who are grieving.
Slater and Gordon offer a free consultation with a Personal Injury Lawyer that specialises in fatal accident compensation cases. Even if you think the person who was killed could have been partly responsible for the accident; call us if only to put your mind at ease and we’ll be happy to help you.
Call freephone 0800 916 9046 or contact us online. Our contact centre is open 24 hours 365 days a year.

TRAVERSE CITY, MI – The Lexus LF-A supercar is on, saysMotor Corp. President and CEO Akio Toyoda, who also reveals an “affordable” sports car is on tap for the auto maker.
Speaking today during the 2009 Center for Automotive Research Management Briefing Seminars here, Toyoda reveals the auto maker “will soon bring to market” the LF-A, although he doesn’t say what countries will retail the model.
The LF-A has appeared in concept form at various auto shows in recent years. It also grabbed attention during testing at Germany’s famed Nurburgring track, which is where Toyoda, a race driver, says he drove it.
“I recently took a turn behind the wheel of the Lexus LF-A supercar during a 24-hour endurance competition in Germany on one of the world’s toughest tracks. It was a great test for me and a good way to improve an exceptional car that we will soon bring to market.”
Toyoda shows a video of himself roaring around the track and says the car he helped drive placed fourth in its class.
Toyoda appears anxious to inject some passion into’s products, often criticized for being appliance-like.
“My hope is I can transfer some enthusiasm from the race track to our vehicles and make driving fun for our customers around the world.”
While the LF-A’s estimated $200,000 starting price will be out of reach for many consumers, Toyoda says he plans to “fast-track” an affordable sports car that will come to market in the “next few years.” He doesn’t reveal which brand the car will wear.
Meanwhile, he acknowledges the auto maker’s struggle to determine the fate of its New United Motor Mfg. Inc. plant in Fremont, CA. Toyoda, himself, worked at the site, known as NUMMI, and says Toyota still is studying whether to shutter the facility.
Co. has said it would no longer consider production there, a 50/50 JV of the old GM and Toyota.
Toyoda speaks glowingly of the American market, and says despite current struggles U.S. new-car sales “will not only recover but come back stronger than ever.”
He details Toyota’s commitment to the U.S., saying the auto maker employs more than 380,000 people, directly or indirectly, here. “That’s equal to a city the size of Miami.”
Toyoda cites research showing the U.S. population, in the next seven years, is poised to add 21 million people, 17 million of driving age. “All I can say to that is, God Bless America,” he jokes.
But the American auto industry will need to be transformed for the future, Toyoda says, adding peak oil prices are fast approaching and “we are at a once-in-a-century crossroads.”
He reiterates Toyota’s plans to lease a plug-in Prius hybrid-electric vehicle to fleet customers later this year, sell a battery-only electric vehicle by 2012 and bring a hydrogen fuel-cell car to market in 2015.

text: As many of my friends are aware – Reindeer are my theme for decorating at Christmas. I have already posted details of my favourite Reindeer head silhouette applique cushion but thought you might like to see a few more of these delightful creatures. Here is one of our chairs draped with a Blue fleece throw (handy for wrapping up when it gets REALLY chilly) with co-ordinating cushion. The throw is approximately 40 inches square and has 8 raw edge applique reindeer in lovely christmassy print cottons. There is also a twin needle stitched border in Red – just to finish it off.

I did vow that this blog would stay true and not become a mummy blog, but, the blog has always been an account of my life. The recipes are the things we eat, the crafts get used in my home or given as gifts the outfits are all my own. So with a baby as cute and photogenic as mine can you blame me for the odd indulgent post. A few months ago I shared my birth story so those of you who read it know that the path to getting this wonderful baby was a rocky one. I feel lucky everyday and today on Sebastian's 6 month birthday I want to share the letter I have written to him for his book, (more on that another day).
Today you are 6 months old, half a year, 183 days, no matter how it is is phrased it still makes no sense to me. When you were born I counted your age in hours, then days, then weeks and now months, but the truth is I still measure your existence in seconds. I don't want to miss any of them. I miss you when I go to the toilet. I mourn every habit you grow out of, I am desperately trying to cram every memory into my brain, only to rejoice and be amazed by every new thing you learn. I worry that there is not enough room in my head to effectively store all of these memories; the sound of your babbling, your laugh, the way your eyes light up when I sing a song you recognise. Hopefully you will not require too much help at school and I can relegate geography and maths to the archives to make space in my brain for the many wonderful things you will do.
At the moment you have started weaning and 2 days ago we had a breakthrough. You wanted your own fork and to eat from my plate. All the simple foods I had given to you were cast aside for macaroni cheese with garlic and shallots. I loved this because you wanted to do what I was doing, just be a regular family member and it made my heart swell with joy because you are my family and you were happiest being part of the gang.
I have traveled the world and had so many wonderful adventures but having you in my life is the best adventure ever.
I love you, happy half birthday
Mummy (I love being able to write that word about myself)

Although the HHSAA wasn’t born until 1956, the Hawaii Interscholastic Federation was born out of many of the same ideas.
On this day in 1925, the HIF was formed temporarily to create games in all sports between schools of every island. The first rule it drew up was requiring athletes to be under 21 years of age and restricting them to four seasons.
The organization was given the OK in 1926 and immediately formed a football schedule that included McKinley, Maui, Lahainaluna, Kauai, Hilo, Kona, Kohala and Schofield all traveling to other islands to play regular-season games. Hilo won the organization’s first football title with a 23-0 win over Lahainaluna.
Lahainaluna principal H. Alton Rogers was the first president of the group, he served as Lahainaluna’s principal from 1923 to 1950. He died in 1963 at the age of 78.

Gujarat High Court Judge RM Chhaya, who has been elevated as the Gauhati High Court Justice, was given a full court farewell on Monday with his colleagues and Chief Justice Aravind Kumar hailing his contributions to the judiciary.
Chief Justice Kumar said that as the executive chairperson of Gujarat State Legal Services Authority, Justice Chhaya had taken a number of steps to reduce the pendency of cases.
“During his tenure as the executive chairman, a number of important and innovative steps have been taken in reducing the pendency of cases in the lower judiciary. On account of the best efforts put in by Justice Chhaya, large number of cases were disposed of in Lok Adalat and special sittings. Justice Chhaya also headed various committees constituted for resolving administrative issues,” said CJ Kumar.
A visibly emotional Justice Chhaya broke into tears during his speech, saying that while on Father’s Day, fathers receive gifts but instead he is the one who has received the gift from his late father, adding that he misses his father.
Justice Chhaya is scheduled to leave Ahmedabad to take charge at the Gauhati High Court on June 21, according to CJ Kumar. A union government notification dated June 19 had notified justice Chhaya’s appointment as Gauhati HC CJ.
Justice Chhaya practised as a lawyer for more than 25 years and was at the bench for 11 years, four months and three days. He is expected to serve at the Gauhati HC until his retirement in six-and-a-half months.
Heading the building committee among other committees for the judiciary in the state, CJ Kumar added that Justice Chhaya took personal interest in developing infrastructure in the high court and lower courts of the judiciary.
At the farewell, Gujarat government advocate general Kamal Trivedi also noted that Justice Chhaya is “very much religious” and is a “family man”, who is fond of music, particularly ghazals.
Gujarat High Court Advocates Association president and senior advocate Asim Pandya added that, “Justice Chhaya was never a disposal-oriented (judge) and was never in a hurry to decide a case without a full length hearing. He was probably more informed on the facts and law than the lawyers arguing before him.”

The Exelon Foundation is pleased to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with a $1,000,000 grant to the Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial Project Foundation.
The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial will be the last memorial to be built on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
In commemoration of Dr. King’s birthday, the Exelon Foundation gift was announced on January 19, 2009, at the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inauguration reception at the National Press Club in Washington DC.
“I am honored that the Exelon Foundation has joined the Memorial Foundation’s family of supporters, and I hope that other foundations, corporations and individuals will follow its lead,” said Harry E. Johnson, President and CEO of the Washington, DC Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial. The Exelon Foundation is the first electric utility-funded organization to donate to the Memorial.
Scheduled to open in 2010, the Memorial will be situated adjacent to the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial and in a direct line between the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials. Featuring the teachings of Dr. King, the four-acre site will convey four fundamental and recurring themes of his life: democracy, justice, hope and love. More information about the Memorial’s history and design, including a virtual tour, can be found at the Washington, DC Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial Project Foundation website: http://www.mlkmemorial.org/.
