South Korean police searched the offices of Samsung Electronics Co.'s display-making unit Tuesday in connection with an investigation into alleged technology theft.
Samsung Display Co., which dominates the market for organic light-emitting diode, or OLED, panels, said investigators at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency went to its headquarters in Asan, south of the capital, and searched for documents related to the technology.
Police are investigating whether partners of rival panel maker LG Display Co. leaked technology secrets and whether Samsung is involved, Nathan Kim, a spokesman for Samsung, said by phone Wednesday. The two companies have been involved in criminal probes of alleged technology theft since last year. In July, six employees of LG Display were charged over theft of OLED technology from Samsung.
"We have no reason to steal other companies' technology, as we have the world's best OLED technology," Jun Eun Sun, a spokeswoman for Samsung, said by phone Wednesday in Asan.
LG Display said it didn't report Samsung to police in connection with the current investigation.
"The latest investigation is related to large-sized OLED TV panel technology, but the police have made the allegation themselves," Son Young Jun, a Seoul-based LG Display spokesman, said by phone Wednesday.
Phone calls to the police agency Wednesday seeking comment weren't answered.
LG said in July the information its employees were charged with leaking or stealing at the time was widely known in the industry and wasn't considered to contain trade secrets.
Samsung and LG, the world's two biggest flat-panel display makers, are banking on new TV sets using OLED panels to boost slowing TV sales. The technology offers thinner screens, less power consumption and more vivid images than current liquid-crystal displays.
Samsung, the world's largest TV maker, lags behind LG in introducing OLED TV sets. Samsung said Feb. 19 it aims to start selling the TVs in the first half of this year. LG Electronics Inc. began selling them in South Korea in January and said Jan. 2 it will expand sales to North America, Europe and other Asian markets in the first quarter.

Pioneering early people who lived at the end of the last ice age actually carried on with life as usual despite plummeting temperatures, a study at a world-famous archaeological site in North Yorkshire suggests.
Leading researchers, based at Royal Holloway, University of London, and the University of York, found that a dramatic climate event with a sudden drop in average temperatures, severe enough to halt the development of woodland, had no substantial impact on human activity at Star Carr – a middle Stone Age archaeological site dating to around 9,000 BC.
The study sheds new light on significant debate about the sensitivity of hunter-gatherer societies to environmental change.
The prehistoric community, who persevered through the cold snap that would last more than 100 years, left a plethora of worked wood, animal bones, antler headdresses and flint blades buried in layers of mud as evidence of their continued productivity and endurance.
Simon Blockley, Professor of Quaternary Science at Royal Holloway, said: “It has been argued that abrupt climatic events may have caused a crash in Mesolithic populations in Northern Britain, but our study reveals, that at least in the case of the pioneering colonisers at Star Carr, early communities were able to cope with extreme and persistent climate events.
“We found people were in fact far more affected by smaller, localised changes to their environment – Star Carr was once the site of an extensive lake and people lived around its edge.
“Over time the lake gradually became shallower and boggier, turning into fenland which eventually forced settlers to abandon the area.”
The early Holocene, the current geological epoch which started some 11,500 years ago when the glaciers began to retreat, was dominated by climatic instability characterised by extreme weather events triggered by ice-ocean interaction during the final wastage of the northern hemisphere ice sheets.
The rich archaeological record at Star Carr gave the researchers the rare opportunity to directly compare the palaeoclimate record with evidence of human activity through time in the same location.
The researchers examined human activity by looking at archaeological remains recovered from layers of wetland deposits at the edge of the extensive former lake basin in the Vale of Pickering.
They found evidence of houses, large wooden platforms built on the lake edge and large quantities of artefacts and bones preserved in the lake muds and these were radiocarbon dated. Pollen, macrofossils and isotopes taken from lake sediment cores allowed the researchers to build a high-resolution picture of the climate of the area over thousands of years.
The team identified two episodes of extreme cooling which saw average temperatures drop by more than 3 degrees in the space of a decade. The first of these events occurred very early after humans began to return to the area after the last ice age.
The evidence indicates that these conditions may have slowed down the progress and activity of a community in the nascent stages. However, the second of these events, which occurred later when the community was more established, appears to have had very little impact.
Professor Nicky Milner, senior author based at the University of York, added: “Perhaps the later, more established community at Star Carr were buffered from the effects of the second extreme cooling event – which is likely to have caused exceptionally harsh winter conditions– by their continued access to a range of resources at the site including red deer.
“We have been working at Star Carr for about 15 years and the site has produced an incredibly rare glimpse into the world of our Mesolithic ancestors who lived at the end of the ice age, about 11,000 years ago.
“Putting this archaeological data into the context of the climate and environment is very exciting and shows that we need to keep an open mind when thinking about the effects of extreme climate on early populations.”
Duncan Wilson, Historic England’s Chief Executive, said: “Star Carr is one of the best-known Mesolithic sites in Europe and is unique in Britain for the quantity and range of organic remains from this period.
“We have been involved with funding and supporting fieldwork at Star Carr for over a decade, and thanks to studies like these we now have a much better understanding of people’s resilience in the face of climate change 11,000 years ago.”
The study was conducted by Royal Holloway, University of York, University of Southampton, University of Chester, University of Manchester, Historic England, University of Stirling, University of Reading, Lancaster University, University of Oxford, , Keneperu Science Center( New Zealand) and University of Glasgow.
The work was funded by the European Research Council, Historic England, the Natural Environment Research Council, The British Academy, The Vale of Pickering Research Trust, and the Universities of Chester, Manchester and York.

There are a LOT of guitar lesson YouTube channels created by guitar players of various skill levels. Some of them are advanced players, some, well, not so much.
While I believe beginners should not learn guitar on YouTube since the barrage of lessons provide no clear direction to follow, intermediate and advanced guitarists can satisfy their quick-hit free guitar lesson needs nicely on the platform.
Here are the top YouTube guitar lesson channels I like and can recommend in 2023:
This is actually a channel for an instrument store in the UK. Their videos are loads of fun to watch and learn from. The hosts are witty, play great guitar, and provide a lot of insight.
Active Melody (US)
Brian, the host of the channel, publishes mostly intermediate-level blues lessons on his YouTube channel. He composes his own music and breaks things down in a logical way.
Cifra Club (BR)
This channel publishes not only guitar lessons but drums and singing tutorials as well. It is in Portuguese, but the on-screen tabs let you play along seamlessly. Goes to show you that the language of music is universal.
Just Nick Music (US)
I love Nick's channel for the play-along videos. You can really tell that he has a lot of experience in playing with others. His videos aren't well lit, they're not shot with a $4000 camera, but they are still great to watch and learn from.
This channel concentrates on teaching songs in a simple way, so it's ideal for beginners. Dave, the host of the channel, breaks things down nicely and adds on-screen tabs to his video to make them easier to follow.
Marty Music (US)
Marty Schwartz is one of the longest-running teachers on YT. He has a lot of videos on songs and various techniques. A lot of people follow him, in part because of his energetic, fun teaching style.
Paul Davids (NL)
Paul David's channel is about everything guitar. His calm, laid-back style, combined with a cool sense of humor makes his videos fun to watch.
Sean Daniels (US)
This is another fun channel that isn't strictly about guitar lessons. Sean Daniels has a great personality and his videos are probably more entertaining than they are educational. They don't look particularly good, they are not professionally edited, but they are still fun.
These were my favorite YouTubers that publish guitar lessons and other interesting guitar-related videos.
Here are some more channels, and if you know of other ones that are great, please leave them in a comment, I'll have a look. But please don't just spam and self-promote your own channel. Unless it is outstanding, that is.
Which YouTube guitar teacher is the best?
None of my selected teachers on the above guitar lesson YouTube channels can be called "the best".
Each has his own methodology and explains things differently. Some are better at acoustic guitar, some are better at blues, some are funnier, some are more interesting.
On YouTube, you don't need to be confined to any single guitar teacher. There are lots of YouTube channels worthy of following, so you'll never be short of things to learn.
Can beginners learn to play guitar on YouTube for free?
YouTube has millions of video tutorials, but beginners should not try to learn to play guitar solely through YouTube. The reason is that the lessons on YouTube are random, but learning anything from 0 requires direction and a set course of action.
It is understandable, that someone would want to learn the guitar through YouTube videos. After all, they are free, readily available, and some of them are very good.
But trying to start learning guitar solely on YouTube is a mistake. You can't learn anything by watching random videos. You need a set curriculum, a guide to follow.
Sign up for one of the top guitar courses instead. They provide lessons that build on each other, creating a strong foundation of knowledge and skills that will get you playing guitar quickly.
It’s quite the task you’ve given yourself, narrowing it down to 8 youtube channels, and while I recognize some, there’s hardly any that I have found that good in your list.
The only real one is Andertons but I’d class it as a review or advertising channel more than anything. I enjoy watching it but not for learning anything about actual playing.
I suggest my criteria is profoundly different than that by which you used for this post.
That makes sense as I would class myself a high intermediate to advanced with years of playing behind me as well as I’m making the choices solely for my benefit while your choices are for learners in general.
I, therefore, don’t say you are wrong, but I thought I’d point out my favourites with the idea you may or readers may find them interesting to check out. I won’t be ranking them in any order, just a lot of favourites.
Firstly, good old Claus at GuitarMastery.com. He’s absolutely passionate and dedicated to teaching although I’ve seen a degree of naysayers, but his content is very good, very useful to a wide range of learners and relevant. A definite gem.
I’m a Patreon member for a few youtube tuition sites so I’ll group them here. It’s hard to pick a winner but I’d recommend any of them without hesitating. They are Ben Ellers, Late Night Lessons, and last week I signed up for Shreds 666 Metal channel, it’s not called that, obviously, but simply Shred.
All three are great.
Robert Baker is another great one with nice easy cool lessons on licks and techniques that always sound so good.
Another one I’ve become more into these days would be Bernth channel, again very metal and shredding focused as is Elmo J Karjalainen’s, and that man can seriously play like few others.
Brett Papa is great and provides a change from the heavy and fast, although he is capable of that too. He is like Stitch Method in being very wedded to the caged theory, which I really don’t have much time for, I had been playing many years before coming across it with 3nps and all the many scale positions taped for most scales, I never saw any great plus for me, beginners would find much of worth in mastering it I suspect.
Max Guitar is a great channel as well as CSGuitars and the GOAT of YouTube guitar content which to me is That Pedal Show, it’s that good overall Dan had me literally convinced I was finally mature enough to buy a Tele…..thankfully while try out a Player Tele I came across a Tokai SG and went home with that 🙂
There are a few of my favourites I really enjoy and rate. Some more for tuition others less obviously so. TPS is a gear channel, but I defy anyone to sit and watch Dan and Mick playing each episode and not learn something really cool and worthwhile from them after all, that is still an important way for any beginner to glean some insights that aren’t necessarily being taught.
When I first started, I watched the live video on Zeppelin Song Remains the Same over and over multiple times daily just to try an absorb some of Jimmy Pages playing, and I learned things by myself for sure, which is a real boost at the start of your journey 🙂
I hope you enjoy some of those I’ve mentioned, though there are countless others I probably will wish I mentioned once this is posted, many as good as the ones above.

VELIKY NOVGOROD, September 13. /TASS/. Russian survivalist Feodor Konyukhov known for his South and North Pole expeditions, plans to put up a Russian Orthodox cross made of paleozoic limestone at the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean as his upcoming deep sea diving adventure.
The limestone planned for the cross, which dates back 360 million years, was mined in the Novgorod Region and will be handed over to a jewelery maker, who specializes in making Russian Orthodox symbols.
Earlier, TASS reported that Konyukhov, 64, plans an immersion project in a bathyscaphe in the Pacific Ocean’s Mariana Trench. The traveler wants to submerge to the bottom, which is about 10,994 meters below sea level. The adventurer wants to stay in the trench for several days in order to conduct scientific research. Specific dates for the journey have yet to be announced.
Konyukhov is known for his extravagant traveling adventures. In July, Konyukhov had broken the record for the fastest circumnavigation of the Earth in a hot air balloon. It took him 11 days, while the previous record set by American adventurer Steve Fossett was 13.5 days. Konyukhov traveled 35,000 kilometers and crossing Australia, the Pacific, South America, Atlantic Ocean, the Cape of Good Hope and the Indian Ocean.

I'm basing it on statements by eye witnesses, by herself and by tenants who live there and stated that those doors self-close. They don't stay open as she tried to lie and say. That's evidence. Not assumption. Evidence that is highly likely to be introduced at trial. And if she was exhausted she had an even higher duty of care when it came to her weapon. Finally, it is irrelevant that the victim in this case had marijuana in his apartment. Expect for the fact that the police used it to try to influence the public that somehow he was a bad guy who caused or deserved his own death. Looks like it worked.

US: UBS tax deal to reveal secret data
The US-Swiss agreement signed on Wednesday will reveal an “unprecedented” amount of information to prevent tax fraud.Washington -- The US government on Wednesday said an agreement with the Swiss government will make available an "unprecedented" amount of information on potential American tax evaders with accounts at UBS.
The US-Swiss agreement signed in Washington on Wednesday allows the governments to exchange information to prevent "tax fraud or the like."
The agreement "will result in the IRS receiving an unprecedented amount of information on United States holders of accounts at the Swiss bank UBS," the Internal Revenue Service and the Justice Department said in a joint statement.
"As a result of this agreement, the IRS will receive substantially all of the accounts that it was interested in when it initiated the John Doe summons against UBS," they said.
According to the agreement, information on about 4,450 UBS accounts held by US citizens will initially be provided to the US authorities.
"The agreement retains the US government's right, if the results are significantly lower than expected and other measures fail, to seek appropriate judicial remedies, including resuming actions to enforce" the civil complaint, the IRS and Justice Department said.
In mid-August the US government and UBS finalised an out-of-court settlement to end the tax secrecy case aimed at forcing the bank to supply names of as many as 52,000 American account holders.
Under Swiss banking secrecy law, banks in Switzerland are prohibited from revealing any information to authorities or any third parties about their clients, except in cases involving recognised criminal investigations.
The US civil case stems from a settlement of a criminal complaint earlier in 2009 in which UBS admitted to tax fraud by inviting rich US clients to open accounts in Switzerland to avoid declaring their income to the US. The bank paid USD 780 million (CHF 832 million) to settle the criminal case.
The United States has pressured Switzerland and UBS since the tax fraud case first emerged in a Florida court last year. In July 2008 UBS announced it was halting offshore banking services for US citizens as a result of the probe.
Under a separate agreement signed Wednesday between UBS and the US government to settle the civil case, UBS is not required to make any financial payment.
The IRS and Justice Department said that the agreement process will begin with an IRS request to the Swiss government describing the accounts for which it is seeking information.
The Swiss government will then direct UBS to begin releasing information on the accounts to the IRS.
"The IRS will receive information on accounts of various amounts and types, including bank-only accounts, custody accounts in which securities or other investment assets were held and offshore company nominee accounts through which an individual indirectly held beneficial ownership in the accounts," the statement said.
The UBS agreement has implications for other banks, the statement said.
"The Swiss government has agreed to review and process additional requests for information for other banks regarding their account holders to the extent that such a request is based on a pattern of facts and circumstances equivalent to those of the UBS case."
The IRS will examine the information provided for potential civil and criminal tax violations, the statement said.
"Individuals whose information is obtained by the IRS through this process will, by longstanding policy, not be eligible for the voluntary disclosure program."

A beautiful sunset to close this wonderful road trip (and I have 24Gbs of photos to process upon coming back). I shot only stock style during the past 3 weeks. Lots of new panoramics and lots of HDR. Can’t wait to get on photoshop. I’m sure there’s a lot of sale potential, and it will be fun to see it all unfold.
The last day was perfect. The gorgeous weather was just right, sunny, but not humid and not too warm, and the food excellent. We had our best meal yet at the Marquesa Café, another great restaurant, and this one has surprising dishes, full of layers and different tastes that dovetail into on pleasant swirl of greatness. The cook, it seems, has been there for 40 years, perfecting her menu. It shows. This is mastery. Save your money, come to Key West and dine there. It’s almost worth the trip by itself. A really great way to celebrate my 5 ears anniversary with Ben (has it been this long already?)
I did go to the pier to shoot the sunset. What a circus. There must have been 100 people, on a little corner of a pier (about the only place where you can get an non-obstructed view of the ocean) and as many cameras clicking away. It was like a press conference or a runway show. I was wise to arrive an hour early. The ultimate downfall of Key West I find, apart from the geriatrics taking over the city and the fees to view historical places ($12 per head to walk around Hemingway’s house? really? I’d rather save and go back to Marquesa) is how every inch of real estate is built and used, and walking around becomes a bit suffocating. The city unfortunately is not photogenic at all because of this. You can never get a clean shot without having tons of distracting elements all over the place. The beautiful houses, for instance, are built very close to the street and are hidden by unkempt trees, garbage cans, electric wires and posts, cars, signs and more. Insane. Hotels may appear huge in the adds, but in reality they’re a bunch of small buildings tightly built next to one another with minuscule pools. The beach at the Hyatt is a joke: slightly larger than a kid’s sand box. I refer here to the historic district of course as I haven’t been to the family-mall area.
Well, the next three days will be non stop driving with pit stops to sleep and eat. I guess we’ll hop from one Cracker Barrel to the next: as far as fast food goes, that was the best we found.

S.J. Surana, J.
1. The circumstances giving rise to this appeal by the judgment-debtor in short are these : In the course of execution of a decree obtained by respondent No. 1 against the appellant firm, certain house property of the latter was attached and put to sale. The sale was to be held on 26th, 27th and 28th of June 1878. The auction-sale proceedings commenced on 26-6-1978 as per the schedule within the precincts of the Court-house. Till 28-6-1978, there were no bidders forthcoming and as such the proceeding-were continued day to day, barring holidays, up to 7-7-1978 under orders of the Court. When this also failed to improve the matters, the Court passedan order on 10-7-1978 countermanding the sale warrant unexecuted. Subsequently, permission was granted to the decree-holder under Order 21 Rule 72 Civil P. C. to bid for and purchase the property and after a fresh proclamation, the attached house property was again put to sale fixing 18th, 19th and 20th September 1978 for that purpose. The auction sale was to be held within the Court precincts as before. Once again, the result was disappointing inasmuch as notwithstanding the fact that the sale proceedings were continued day to day up to 29-9-1978 under orders of the Court, there was no bidder to advance the proceedings to a take-off stage. Undeterred, the proceedings were pressed on with the result that on 30-9-1978, the official bid of Rs. 25,000/- was raised to Rupees. 40,000/- by the decree-holder. Not satisfied, the Court ordered the proceedings to continue working day to working day as before.
2. The results started showing when on 4-10-1978, the highest bid recorded was Rs. 44,000/-; on 5-10-1978 it was Rs. 51,000/-; and on 7-10-1978 it reached Rs. 52,000/-. There was again a short lull but on 12-10-1978, a prospective purchaser came forward to throw his weight in the auction sale and that too for the first time. He was respondent No. 2 Govind Singh and it is he who took it to the pinnacle of Rupees 72,000/- by 28-10-1978. Hoping against hope, however, the sale was ordered to be continued till 15-11-1978 of which the net result was only this : the status quo prevailed throughout the period, i.e., up to the very fifteenth day of November 1978 with no bidder to be seen round-about to even register his presence. Strangely enough, respondent No. 2 Govind Singh was also sailing in the same boat though his was the ruling bid at Rs. 72,000/- till then. Even so, the Court ordered the sale proceedings to continue for yet another week. This proved to be a still-born move with the result that, at long last, on 22-11-1978, when the proceedings were laid before the Court, an order was passed obviously at the end of the day accepting the bid of respondent No. 2 Govind Singh.
3. It is then perhaps that for the first time it was realized that the bid has been accepted without ensuring presence of respondent No. 2 GovindSingh. There is, indeed, nothing in the record of the auction sale proceedings to show that respondent No. 2 Govind Singh was present when his bid was accepted or that he was informed any time on or after 28-10-1976 but before22-11-1978 to appear and much less watch the proceedings up to the end because of his being the highest bidder.
4. It is only after his bid was accepted as above that on 23-11-1978, respondent No. 2 Govind Singh was officially informed under notice dated23-11-1978 that the Court has accepted his bid dated 28-10-1978 under its order dated 22-11-1978 and as such no sooner he receives the notice than he should appear ready with money to deposit one-fourth of the amount of his purchase-money. Abiding by the notice as well as his own bid of Rupees 72,000/- as also without any protest, respondent No. 2 Govind Singh appeared before the Court on 23-11-1978 itself explaining the circumstances --quite correctly -- which made him part with the money (that he had kept ready to encash his bid in case of its proving the highest) and sought time to deposit the requisite amount of Rs. 18,000/-leaving it to the Court as to what would be the reasonable demand for time in the circumstances narrated above. Though the Court disposed of this application without any relief or guidance to the respondent No. 2 Govind Singh, yet it did accept his deposit on 24-11-1978 in satisfaction of the one-fourth of the amount of his purchase money without any demur.
5. Thereupon, the judgment-debtor made an application on 29-11-1978 for setting aside the sale mainly on the ground of non-compliance of the provisions of Order 21, Rule 84 (1), Civil P. C. The application was dismissed on 30-1-1979 vide the impugned order holding that the one-fourth of the amount of his purchase money has been deposited by the auction-purchaser as required by law explaining that after all it takes some time to convey to the highest bidder that he has been declared as purchaser at the sale and that the term 'immediately' occurring in Sub-rule (1) of Rule 84 of Order XXI, Civil P. C. means 'without delay'. It is this interpretation of the term in the above context that alone has been called in question in this appeal by the judgment-debtorwho is pressing ior setting aside the sale relying on the decision of the Supreme Court in Manilal v. Sayed Ahmed, (AIR 1954 SC 349).
6. The above-mentioned case is authority for the proposition that the provisions of the rules requiring the deposit of 25 per cent of the purchase-money immediately, on the person being declared as a purchaser and the payment of the balance within 15 days of the sale are mandatory and upon non-compliance with these provisions, there is no sale at all. The rules do not contemplate that there can be any sale in favour of a purchaser without depositing 25 per cent of the purchase money in the first instance (as above) and the balance within 15 days. In other words, non-payment of the price as above on the part of the successful bidder renders the sale proceedings as complete nullity. The result would be the same even if there were default in payment of only the one-fourth of the purchase money immediately. The learned counsel for the respondent No. 2 (Govind Singh) would, however, have it that his client has fully and faithfully complied with the provisions of Sub-rule (1) of Rule 84 of Order XXI, Civil P, C. by depositing 25 per cent of the purchase money on 24-11-1978 in circumstances adumbrated earlier,
7. I may pause here to mention that the exact meaning of the term 'immediately' in the present context did not come for determination in Manilal v. Sayed Ahmed (supra) whereas the fact of this appeal hangs entirely thereon. Now, under Rule 65 of Order XXI Civil P. C., save as otherwise prescribed, every sale in execution of a decree shall be conducted by an officer of the Court or such other person as the Court may appoint in this behalf.....And according to a localamendment, such officer or person shall be competent to declare the highest bidder as purchaser at the sale. But this is not all. It further says that where the sale is made in. or within the precincts of the Court-house, no such declaration shall be made without the leave of the Court. There is yetanother local amendment by way of an explanation to Rule 85 to the effect that when an amount is tendered on any day after 1-00 P. M.. but paid into Court on the next working day be-tween 11-00 A.M. and 1-00 P.M., the payment shall be deemed to have been made on the day on which the tender was made.
8. It is in the light of the above two provisions that the provisions of Sub-rule (1) of Rule 84 of Order XXI, Civil P. C. will have to be construed in order to resolve the present dispute. That sub-section reads :
'84. Deposit by purchaser and resale on default -- (1) On every sale of immovable property the person declared to be the purchaser shall pay immediately after such declaration a deposit of twenty-five per cent on the amount of his purchase-money to the officer or other person conducting the sale, and in default of such deposit the property shall forthwith be re-sold.' As may be seen, the obligation cast on the purchaser to pay immediately a deposit of 25 per cent of the amount of his purchase-money, arises only after he is declared to be the purchaser. As the things are here, such a declaration could not have been made by the officer conducting the sale on his own authority; nor did he make it. That apart, respondent No. 2 Govind Singh was not present on the spot or in the Court on 22-11-1978, when, as usual, at the end of the day, the matter was referred to the Court for further orders as the bid had remained static throughout the interval between 28-10-1978 and 22-11-1978 at Rupees 72,000/- in his name. Nevertheless, the Court accepted his bid and prepared itself to face the problem of making the requisite declaration. It was to be made on the spot in the presence of the successful bidder by the officer conducting the sale. Since this was impossible to achieve, the Court, albeit mercifully at the same time, directed the officer concerned to declare respondent No. 2 Govind Singh as purchaser at the sale and proceed to manage the deposit of 25 per cent of the purchase money by him. That was duly done vide noticed dated 23-11-1978. It is not clear from the return of service of this notice as to exactly at what point of time it was received by respondent No. 2 Govind Singh. According to the recipient, he received it at 4-00 P.M. on 23-11-1978. In this he must be believed because the process-server has not noted the time of service which he was duty-bound to do vide Rule 72 (1) of the Rules andOrders (Civil). The respondent No. 2 Govind Singh could have taken full advantage of this defect in the service of the notice, if so inclined. All he did however was to make a desperate attempt to seek time to make the deposit which did not yield any result, His problem now was to raise money to the tune of Rs. 18,000/- within what was left of the Court working time after 4-00 P.M. on 23-11-1978. Even if he had raised the money, it would not have been possible for him to tender much less deposit it by 5-00 P. M. on 23-11-1978. For, after all, certain formalities required by Rules and Orders (Civil) had to be attended to on both sides which were bound to consume further tune. Over and above all this, there is a bar on accepting any such deposit after a certain hour of any working day. If the law were understood to expect of him in the circumstance to make the tender if not the deposit before 5-00 P. M. on 23-11-1978, it would be as worse as giving the dog a bad name in order to shoot it.
9. Read in its own light, Sub-rule (1) of Rule 84 of Order XXT C. P. Code presupposes presence of the suc-cessful bidder on the spot as also the authority or the officer conducting the sale to accept his bid and to declare him purchaser at the sale so that he must deposit the requisite one-fourth of his purchase-money then and there. Because of the local amendment to Rule 65, however, the last mentioned two conditions precedent to the deposit of the one-fourth of the purchase money 'immediately', would seem to have lost their vigour in so far as this case is concerned. For, in the first place, the highest bid could be legally accepted by the Court alone, and in the second, the officer conducting the sale could not declare the highest bidder as purchaser at the sale without leave of the Court. The third problem was of establishing contact with the highest bidder which had to be solved. All this was bound to take time as it did upto 4-00 P. M. of 23-11-1978. And, as already observed, the remaining time of that working day was pitiably short for even tendering the deposit. That being so, I find it exceedingly difficult to persuade myself to agree to the proposition that the term 'immediately' must be under-stood to mean as excluding all mesne time and as such, the deposit admittedly made on 24-11-1978 must be dismissed as invalid rendering the entire sale proceedings as a nullity (so as 1o place the auction purchaser in the position of a defaulter). And all this because, honest to his word, as promptly as could be said to a fault, and despite all odds, he willingly co-operated with the Court in making good its mistake in springing a surprise on him which was sure to prove a bolt from the blue. The situation admits of an apt reference to the following observations of Krishna Iyer, J. in The Authorised Officer, Thanjavur v. S. Naganatha Ayyar, (AIR 1979 SC 1487 at p. 1493).
'To be truly a 'Portia man' the lawyer should follow the way in which Portia avoided an unjust decree. Not to let the words of the deed be the masters: but so construe them -- adapt them as the occasion demands -- so as to do what justice and equity require. This is how she turned the tables on Shylock :'
10. The term 'immediately', in my opinion, on the facts and in the circumstances of this case, cannot be assigned that strict meaning as to exclude all mesne time, irrespective of any consideration whether reasonable or not. That would be tantamount to turning protection of law into uncalled for punishment, that is what some times happens when reason takes the place of reasonableness rather than blend with it in a happy union.
11. In Madho Narayanrao Ghatate v. Mt. Watsalabai, (AIR 1948 Nag 142) Hidayatullah, J. construed the word 'forthwith' occurring in the very sub-rule under the present scrutiny to mean 'within a reasonable time' observing as under :
'In all cases where the word 'forthwith' occurs it must ordinarily be understood to mean 'within a reasonable time', and quoted with approval the following passage from Maxwell's Interpretation of Statutes on page 143 of the report : 'When a statute requires that something shall be done 'forthwith', or 'immediately', or even 'instantly', it would probably be understood asallowing a reasonable time for doingit.'
In this connection, I may usefully referto the following observations on pages102-103 in Volume 37 of Halsbury'sLaws of England, Third Edition :
'Where anything is limited to be done within a 'reasonable time' or at a 'reasonable hour', the question what is a reasonable time or reasonable hour must necessarily depend on the circumstances of the particular case, and is, therefore, a question of fact.' followed by a comparative look at the terms 'immediately' and 'forthwith' as below :
'There appears to be no material difference between the terms 'immediately' (s) and 'forthwith' (t). A provision to the effect that a thing must be done 'forthwith' or 'immediately' (a) means that it must be done as soon as possible (b) in the circumstances, the nature of the act to be done being taken into account (c).'
'Within a reasonable time' would thus appear to be a better substitute for 'without delay' while construing the term 'immediately' for the purpose at hand. So understood, I have not the slightest hesitation in holding that the deposit of the one-fourth of the amount of his purchase-money by respondent No. 2 Govind Singh on 24-11-1978, having regard to the facts and the circumstances of this case, was perfectly in accordance with the provisions of the law.
12. In the result, the appeal fails and is dismissed with costs confirming the impugned order. Respondents' costs shall be borne by the appellant Hearing fee Rs. 200/-.

Tax 'incentives': Keep saying no
December 03. 2012 6:05PM
New Hampshire does not have a robust "tax incentives" program, and that has turned out quite well for New Hampshire taxpayers. As The New York Times has been chronicling recently, such "incentives" programs let businesses pocket $250 billion a year in taxpayer money.
Governments at every level offer companies tax breaks (often for decades) in exchange for opening (or sometimes just announcing the opening of) new facilities. Sometimes the jobs come; sometimes they don't. When they do, they are not guaranteed to stay. Many companies take the incentives, then leave after a few years for greener pastures, or they close. Taxpayers often are left paying tens of millions of dollars for jobs that either never materialized or that disappeared before the so-called "investments" could be recouped.
Wisely, New Hampshire elected officials have preferred the better policy of keeping everyone's taxes low (though we do have some limited state and local incentives). That could change, though. Gov.-elect Maggie Hassan campaigned on pursuing job growth by offering targeted tax breaks and state services. Our economy would be much better served by reducing business taxes for everyone. Tailoring tax breaks and state services to achieve specific policy goals corrupts the system and is less effective than offering everyone the same low rate.

The second highest official in the US Justice Department, Paul McNulty, is resigning amid a political row over the sacking of eight federal prosecutors.
Mr McNulty is the third official to resign since the row began
The affair is being investigated by a Senate committee. The White House denies the firings were politically motivated, citing poor performance.
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales praised Mr McNulty's record of service and called him "a dynamic leader".
Correspondents say the decision puts pressure on Mr Gonzales to also resign.
In a written statement Mr McNulty said he was stepping down for family and financial reasons and would leave his post some time in the late summer.
"The financial realities of my college-age children and two decades of public service lead me to a long overdue transition in my career," he said.
However, Mr McNulty had recently run into difficulty during testimony to Congress, when he admitted one of the eight attorneys was fired to make way for a political appointee, contradicting his boss who insists all the firings were based on performance, not politics.
His comments prompted a swift rebuttal from the attorney general, who said his deputy had misled Congress.
Mr McNulty is the third - and highest ranking - official to resign from the Justice Department since March.
Responding to the resignation, Mr Gonzales praised his deputy, describing him as "a dynamic and thoughtful leader".
"Paul is an outstanding public servant and a fine attorney who has been valued here at the department, by me and so many others, as both a colleague and a friend," he said.
Mr McNulty has been in the job for 18 months. He is expected to remain in the post until the Senate approves a successor.
He had previously served as US attorney in Alexandria, Virginia in the wake of the 11 September terror attacks.
There he worked on a number of terrorism cases, including the prosecution of Zacarias Moussaoui, who admitted to conspiracy over 9/11.

Calvert Wright is regularly invited to speak on the changing needs of 21st century students and the learning spaces that serve them. In 2017, Calvert was honored to deliver a presentation at the University of London titled “Future-proofing Through Programming”. Past conference presentations have included those for the Association of College and Research Libraries, the Maine Library Directors’ Forum and the LACUNY Institute.
We seek to design spaces that do more than meet functional requirements. We strive to create stimulating environments that are suited to the needs of the stakeholders and communities they serve. We are motivated by the belief that our efforts have significance, value and meaning in the communities where we work. It is especially fortifying when our contributions to the culture and life of a place are acknowledged to be truly expressive of a client’s mission. Now celebrating our 18th year, we have established a reputation for progressive, high quality designs with purpose.
Calvert Wright Architecture’s distinctive projects and personalized service are rooted in an in-depth understanding of our clients’ values and aspirations. We view design as a collaborative effort between client and architect and we have honed this design philosophy with a diverse range of project types. Our firm’s juxtaposition of private and public clients has resulted in a dynamic range of projects including student centers and model agencies, libraries and film production studios, multi-family residential developments and performance spaces. The common thread that weaves these projects together is their ability to inspire and improve the lives of the communities served by these spaces. We strive to produce architecture that transcends aesthetic or technical one-sidedness. We provide our clients with the tireless service and meticulous project management possible from an innovative, service-oriented, small design firm, while drawing on the rich depth of expertise provided through our regular collaboration with specialized sub-consultants. Our pride and expertise is design that serves our clients’ needs and meets their scheduling, budgetary and aesthetic goals.
Through this diversity of project types we have become particularly adept at managing complex, simultaneous projects for both public and private clients. While fulfilling our role as lead architect we are also facilitating the design process with stakeholders – many of whom have differing visions for their projects. With patience and generosity of spirit, we have always been able to bring stakeholders to consensus and arrive at conclusions that provide extraordinary benefit to diverse communities.
Our firm is led by Calvert Wright and supported by a team of architects, project managers, and administrative staff. Calvert received his Bachelor of Arts from Columbia University and began his graduate architectural studies at Harvard University. Calvert received his Masters in Architecture from Princeton University and subsequently taught architectural design at Princeton and Cornell University. After receiving his graduate degree and prior to establishing his own company, Calvert developed a strong professional architectural training working with Rafael Viñoly Architects, Diller + Scofidio and 1100 Architect. Calvert Wright is an Architect licensed in the States of New York and Massachusetts. He is an active member of numerous professional associations including the American Institute of Architects, the Learning Space Collaboratory, the Society of College and University Planners, the US Green Building Council, the American Alliance of Museums, the American Library Association (ALA) and the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL). In 2013, shortly after completing renovations to the Cooperman Library at Hunter College, Calvert was honored to become the sole architect elected to the ACRL Building Resources Committee. As part of this committee, Calvert is a contributing author of their upcoming publication, “Academic Library Building Design: Resources for Planning”. Calvert was previously the author of an occasional column on architecture and design for Vitals magazine.
As a firm, Calvert Wright Architecture participates in the NYC ACE Mentor Program and is the recipient of numerous design awards. Our work is regularly published nationally and internationally. In 2016, we were honored to have two library projects selected for publication in the book, Best of Education and Culture Interior Design. Also in 2016 our firm was honored as one of twelve firms featured in the annual AIA Residential Review. In 2012 Calvert Wright Architecture received an AIA Excellence in Architecture Award and was published the book Best of Office Architecture and Design. Past publications include, The Inspired Retail Space by Corinna Dean and our work was featured on the NBC television series, “Open House New York” and featured in the BBC documentary series, “Superhomes.”

Hyperthyroidism: increased thyroid hormone from increased production in the thyroid.
Thyrotoxicosis: increased thyroid hormone (doesn’t have to be just from thyroid production).
Thyroid storm: extreme thyrotoxicosis. Basically Thyrotoxicosis + fever + AMS
Graves Disease: MCC, 85%. Usually diffuse goiter, ophthalmopathy, local dermopathy. Needs to have thyroid antibody titer ordered to confirm diagnosis.
Toxic multinodular goiter: Second MCC.
Low TSH, elevated free T4 (dont check Total T4). 95% will have low TSH/high T4. 5% will have high T3 only. T3 is the more active form and can sometimes tell severity by the level of T3. T3 is the better test to check than T4 in the acute setting (USC Rounds, 2017).
Electrolyte abnormalities: usually hyperglycemia, hypercalcemia, elevated LFTs.
Thyroid ultrasound done in outpatient setting.
Clinical features: Lethargy, weakness, diaphoresis, weight loss, heat intolerance, diplopia, dry eyes, exophthalmos, dysnpea, palpitations, chest pain, diarrhea, oligomenorrhea, irregular periods, pale skin, hair loss.
ED Initial Treatment: Likely just HR control – control with propranolol (twice daily, inhibits peripheral conversion as well) vs atenolol (only once a day treatment). Make sure elevated HR is mild, no underlying illness (infection) and needs good followup to start thionamides and outpatient workup.
Generally patient with hx/o hyperthyroidism with high fever and altered mental status.
Burch and Wartofsky’s Diagnostic Parameters (Link): Basically looking at 6 markers and depending on severity score for each, high suspicion for thyroid storm: Fever, CNS abnormalities (delirium, psychosis, confusion/concentration, seizure/coma), GI-hepatic (nausea/vomiting, diarrhea), Tachycardia, CHF findings, Atrial Fibrillation.
Fever: generally pretty high; don’t cool these patients, treat underlying abnormality first. Cooling will cause vasoconstriction and possible worsening fever/temperature later. Tachycardia is usually out of proportion to fever.
CNS Abnormalities: can be as little as decreased concentration, though usually the hallmark is some marked confusion/psychosis. Any delirious/psychotic patient with fever/tachycardia, consider TS. Example of patient thinking their Jesus. Behavioral Health patient with either fever or elevated HR – check TSH.
CHF findings: high volume output CHF (HR too high to pump adequate blood out of heart) – can tolerate fluids, though if in severe CHF, be careful with them. Also listen for murmur or friction rub. Do not use diuretics.
Atrial Fibrillation: stick with Beta Blockers. Afib usually converts once HR decreases and TS is more controlled. Stay away from CCBs or digoxin.
Fluids: usually greatly dehydrated. Add in dextrose if hypoglycemia. Diuretics relative contraindications (at least multiple doses given likely high output CHF).
Beta Blockade: Propranolol IV 1-2mg boluses (1mg test dose), every 10-15min or Atenolol 25-100mg qdaily. Start drip after that (max 3-5mg/hr). Esmolol 500mcg/kg IV bolus, 50-200mcg/kg/min after. HR goal 90-100. If asthma or contraindication, consider Reserpine or Guanethidine.
Inhibit hormone production with thionamides: PTU (propylothiouracil) 600-1000mg load, 200-250mg q4hr, PO/PR only. Also has peripheral conversion inhibition unlike methimazole and is safe in pregnancy, SE: agranulocytosis. Methimazole 40mg load, 25mg q4h, Also only PO/PR.
Inhibit hormone release: Wait 1 hour after thionamide: Lugol solution 8-10 drops q6-8hr, SSKI 5 drops PO q6h (Potassium Iodide – used in HIDA scan), Telepaque (IV iopanoic acid) 1g q8hr, Oragrafin (Ipodate) 0.5-3g/d PO (basically oral contrast) or Lithium carbondate 300mg q6hr (if iodine allergy).
Inhibit Peripheral conversion: Main drug is hydrocortisone or decadron. Many prefer dexamethasome (decadron) 2-4mg q6h (doesn’t affect adrenal testing as well). Hydrocortisone 100mg IV q8hr is another option or hypotension involved.
Exogenous Thyroid Overdose: Only need to beta-block and give decadron for peripheral conversion. Hold off on thionamide/iodine since the thyroid still is functioning fine since it the medication is causing the problem.
Resources / References
Tintinalli, 6th Edition, Chapter 224: Thyroid Disorders: Hyperthyroidism and Thyroid Storm
Q1.What medication do you absolutely do not NOT want to start first on someone you are suspecting thyroid storm?
A1. Iodine containing medication (needs to be given 1-2 hrs after thionamides).
Q2. Patient presents with thyroid storm and need to stop hormone production, but patient has a severe iodine allergy listed. What other medication can you give as a substitute after giving a thionamide?
A2. Lithium. Put amiodarone as one of the choices as well (amiodarone causing increased hormone levels).
Q3. Which of the following is not in the criteria for thyroid storm by Burch and Wartofsky?
A3. Free T4 / TSH level. List 3-4 others on the list of 6: Temperature, CNS, Gi, Cardiovascular, CHF, Afib.
Q4. Most common EKG finding with thyroid storm?
A4. Sinus tachycardia. List A fib, SVT, Vtach, LBBB.
Q5. Patient presents with likely thyroid storm with dyspnea, rales, pitting edema. What medication would you likely not start with on acute management?
A5. Diuretics. List saline bolus, propranolol, etc.
High TSH, low free T4/T3.
No perfect thyroid test. TSH is monitoring pituitary T3. Accurate only under ideal health. Free T4 is likely better test with TSH is the new state. Hypothyroid is a clinical diagnosis. (USC Rounds, 2017)
Causes: Autoimmune (Hashimoto), Thyroiditis (subacute, silent, postpartum), ablation, Drugs (amiodarone, lithium, alpha-Interferon, interleukin-2).
Symptoms: weight gain, weakness, fatigue, vocal changes (hoarse/deep), delayed DTRs, non-pitting edema (myxedema – periorbital, nondependent areas), paresthesias, poor memory/confusion, constipation, dysfunctional uterine bleeding. 5% of carpal tunnel patients have it.
Low voltage EKG.
Hypothyroidism usually cannot produce WBC. Usually 3-4k, lymphocytic predominant. If higher around 8-10k, really consider infection.
Initial ED Management with simple hypothyroidism: Likely discharge with followup with PCP for outpatient workup/treatment.
Extreme presentation of hypothyroidism. High mortality, life-threatening. Misleading name: usually not myxedema apparent, rarely in coma.
90% are women in winter months. Usually elderly > 60yo.
Clinical diagnosis. Altered (some big degree of AMS), hypothermia, body habitus for hypothyroidism. Usually bradycardia, hypotension, hypothermia. Stressor involved: infection (MCC), trauma, MI/CHF, surgery, medications, etc. Usually does not have a temperature and if has a normal temperature, have high suspicion for infection. Pleural effusions can be present. Look for thyroidectomy scar in altered patient. Usually hyponatremia. CPK almost always > 500.
Supportive care: usually dehydrated, passive warming with warming blankets, vasopressors if unresponsive to fluids. ICU admission.
Usually adrenal insufficiency involved so give hydrocortisone 100mg q8h before thyroid medication. Send random cortisol level before doing this if able.
Start with T4 over T3. Smooth/gradual rise, no high peaks and increased potential for arrhythmias/MI as T3. T3 though has advantage of quicker onset and no potential for decreased peripheral conversion (T4 to T3), though usually not recommended over T3. T4 500mcg or 200-400mcg (4mcg/kg) IV bolus, then 100mcg daily after that. Likely just stick with T4 only. If you’re going to give T3 (probably stay away from), give T3 5-20mcg IV bolus or consider giving very small bolus of T3 along with T4 if you really want to give T3 as well. Since body is converting T4 to T3, with giving a high dose of T4, the body will adjust to convert the appropriate amount to T3 so pretty safe to give high dose T4 (not T3 though). IV dose still takes around 12 hours before HR response.
Give antibiotics regardless of if theres an apparent infection initially since the myxedema coma masks many of the signs of infection.

The hunt is on to find the next Miss Tourism Uganda queen. The pageant is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, and the event’s theme is “Rethinking Tourism.” ( Who will win the title of Miss Tourism Uganda for 2022–2023 )
Over the years, Miss Tourism Uganda has worked with the Uganda Wildlife Education Center (UWEC), Uganda Tourism Board (UTB), and the Ministry of Tourism to promote tourism awareness in Uganda through pageantry and a number of other initiatives, including conservation, cultural preservation, fashion, music, and art.
The Miss Tourism Uganda organizers said that this year’s edition will highlight Miss Tourism Uganda’s accomplishments over the last ten years during the premiere at the Uganda museum earlier this year.
It’s not a continuation of the previous pageants this time. It’s a fresh beginning. It needs a fresh look and new life. We want to increase public confidence. The organsiers declared, “We want it to be prestigious and glamorous.
In advance of the big finale at the Kampala Serena Hotel on September 23, 2022, the finalists from the Buganda area, the Northern region, and the Kigezi region were crowned over the weekend. The hunt for beauty queens was done in various regions. ( Who will win the title of Miss Tourism Uganda for 2022–2023 – Latest celebrity news in Uganda)

A series of drawings done over photo-litho prints, inspired by stories of real people and their in-habitation of the land. Images are drawn from photographs from Canadian history textbooks and community journals. The idea of North as a powerful force is a thematic constant in these pieces particularly, contributing to a fatalistic perspective of human endeavors and (anti)heroism. Iconic creatures maybe be associated with the supernatural, engaged in the creation of life and implicated in strange moments and climactic events.
In the summer of 2015, I returned to my hometown in Northern BC to make drawings for a show titled Trawling, Tilling, Tending, which was shared with my colleague and friend Pam Lobb. Our work is different but has some similar themes. My own work for the exhibition, which took place at Graven Feather in August 2015, can be seen below.
"With explorations in the use of watercolour and pencil crayon, this latest body of work returns to familiar ground with themes of home and reconstructed memory. Featuring imagined islands, botanical masses and mountains from childhood, the bulk of the imagery was completed during a recent trip to her hometown in Northern British Columbia. There Candela was inspired by old photographs, a thriving natural environment, and the merging of existing mental iconography with a solid, present, reality. These mixed-media drawings operate best as an accumulation of visual motifs, joined by shifting streams of colour, feeling and personal vision; a floating collection that travels along the wall mixing images from actual scenes with reconstituted elements. "
A collection of drawings from various series, this grouping highlights the interest I have in stories of place and decay. Given the large empty expanses of land in this country, this is common theme in Canada's history of immigration and a thread tied to the boom and break of resources and settlement.

Yes I own a PS Vita since July 2012. Two games have recently justified my purchase: Street Fighter x Tekken and Ragnarok Odyssey. I'm having a lot of fun playing these two online with my friends. Next tuesday, as a Plus subscriber, I'm getting Uncharted, Gravity Rush, Jet Set Radio HD and Final Fantasy Tactics, all for free.
I definitely don't regret one bit, I really like the PS Vita.
Looking forward to Persona 4 Golden, Phantasy Star Online 2 and Soul Sacrifice.


In a refrigerator, the compressor is a mechanical device driven by an induction motor. This about how motor works (as opposed to how a compressor works. The characteristics of a compressor have some influence, but the essential answer is given by the characteristics of a motor independent from what it is driving.
The motor draws a higher current when it is switched on. That would happen even if it was not connected to anything. The high current persists for the time required for the motor to reach full speed, a fraction of a second or perhaps slightly more than a second. The fact that the load is a compressor influences the time, but probably not by enough to be important in this context. The refrigerator likely has the largest motor in the house other than the central air conditioner.
For the purpose of explaining why a motor draws a high current while starting, use the schematic shown below provides a simple explanation. The motor consists of a resistor and a generator that generators a voltage that opposes the supply voltage. The voltage is proportional to speed. When the speed is zero, the opposing voltage is zero and the current is high. As the speed increases, the opposing voltage increases and causes the motor current to decrease.
That diagram would apply best to a permanent-magnet DC motor, but it should serve well enough for an induction motor in this context.
The actual light dimming can be explained as the high current starting the motor briefly overloading the supply. Alternatively, you can include wiring resistance and a light in the schematic.
For a more comprehensive equivalent circuit, refer to my answer to: When load increases in rotor of induction motor how does stator draws more current?
The equivalent circuit for one phase of a three-phase induction motor is presented there. It contains the expression Rr(1-s)/s that is a resistance representing the mechanical load driven by the motor.
In that expression s is the motor's slip, the difference between the speed of the rotating magnetic fields and the relative speed of the rotor. When the motor is switched on, the rotor speed is zero and the speed of the magnetic fields is 1, so the slip is also 1 and the portion of the circuit representing the mechanical load has zero resistance. That means that the remainder of the circuit determines the current. That represents a low impedance, so the initial current is high.
As the motor speed increases, the value of s reduces from 1 to about 0.03. That results in a higher resistance that reduces the motor current, but absorbs most of the electrical power that is transferred to the motor from the source.
The results on analyzing the equivalent circuit for one phase of a three-phase induction motor are simply multiplied by three for a three-phase motor. The equivalent circuit for a single-phase motor includes two such circuits, but the two circuits are not identical. However the general principal is the same.
Here is another question in which my answer uses a more simplified version of the equivalent circuit for a three-phase induction motor: Why does an induction motor draw more current when the load is increased?

Many people in our tradition have biblical problems with gender dating and relationships. A higher divorce rate, pervasive immorality, and unholy partnerships are all signs of this. Therefore , we need a biblical point of view upon sex, seeing, and romances. The Bible clearly educates us that we are to love our neighbor because ourselves, which is the best service that. However , we have to please don’t compromise the Bible’s teachings.

It is an excellent source of individuals who want to have sexual, and it is not simply for those in their early twenties.
Sexual intercourse, Dating, and Relationships can be unlike various books regarding dating and relationships, in that this asserts the line between sexual acts and premarital relationships. Nonetheless few writers have defined purity in premarital relationships, the authors’ encounter as vocational pastors made them one of the most qualified to define it for the modern world. The book likewise brings a provocative voice towards the conversation, asking with Christian believers to exclusive chance Christ with their sexuality.
In contrast to the majority of books on sexuality, Sex, Dating, and Romances is a Christian-based resource that defines the line between acceptable and inappropriate sexual activity. While there happen to be few Christians who have clearly defined this line, the authors experience proven their particular ability to articulate biblical truth in a compelling way. They appeal to Christian believers to honor Christ with their sexuality. This guide is a great browse for any Christian who desires to learn their sexuality in a healthier way.
Sex, Online dating, and Associations should change the way we speak about sex. It isn’t only a Christian book. It is also a Christian guide to healthy sexuality. Really not a book, but it’s a guide to healthy sex and relationship. It’s a valuable source of Christians and also who are looking for a new point of view. So do worry if you are not a Christian!
The first thing you must do is definitely understand your partner’s intimate relationships.

The World Health Organisation identifies that an increasing degree of urbanization represents major threats and challenges to personal and public health. It assesses the ‘urban health threat’ as three-fold:
- infectious diseases,
- non-communicable diseases and
- violence and injury from, amongst other things, road traffic.
Within this tripartite structure of health issues in the built environment are multiple challenges: For example, our health and our way of life in homes, streets, neighbourhoods and cities cannot be separated. In addition, health problems caused by the built environment are always also based on social and political problems. This conference seeks to cause a better understanding of the interconnectedness and potential solutions to the problems associated with health and the built environment.
To that end, the conference shall draws together health professionals, government representatives, social scientists, anthropologists, architects and urban planners to discuss these…
- Healthy homes
- Walkable cities,
- Design for ageing
- Dementia and the built environment
- Health equality and urban poverty
- Community health services
- Neighbourhood support and wellbeing
- Urban sanitation and communicable disease
- The role of transport infrastructures and government policy
- The cost implications of ‘unhealthy’ cities
Presentations by short and feature length film makers as well as screenings and debates filtered through short film projects are welcome.

Five new solar measurement stations are to be installed across Vietnam in a bid to strengthen the nation’s renewable energy potential.
The stations will collect solar radiation data and help improve the accuracy of estimates on solar resources, which will be published online.
The information is expected to encourage and assist developers interested in building solar power stations.
The Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) and the World Bank have launched a campaign to promote the deployment of renewables.
Ousname Dione, Country Director for the World Bank in Vietnam said: “The costs of solar power generation are falling around the world. Vietnam is taking an important step in fostering an enabling environment for clean power generation that is quick to build.”

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Two new streetcars with more seating, extra room and better signage will be added to the fleet of Portland Streetcars after the City Council OK’d the purchase.
Adding these 2 streetcars in 2020 will allow more frequent service, officials said in a release. The streetcars are made by Pennsylvania-based Brookville Equipment Company and were in part paid for by $700,000 in contributions from Go Lloyd, the Central Eastside Industrial and Northwest Portland parking meter revenue.
City Commissioner Dan Saltzman said he is glad to see the Portland Streetcar — the first modern streetcar system in the US — “continue to add capacity and improve service as the need for transportation options in the Central City grows.”
In a statement, Portland Streetcar Executive Director Dan Bower noted they’ve added service to the North/South lines and consolidated services in the past few years. “The addition of these two new cars from Brookville will help us take that next step and further reduce the time Portlanders are waiting to board the streetcar.”
Officials said the Portland Streetcar serves 15,000 riders each day but ridership is expected to grow to 20,000 each day by 2025.
