Medical hashish is a conservative worth. Just final week in Texas, a six-year-old woman acquired the state’s first cargo of authorized medical marijuana. Now, the query is which southern state would be the first to legalize leisure marijuana outright. Looking across the south, the chief suspect is within the southeast. So: Could Georgia be the subsequent state to vote for legalized weed?
Legalization Where The Marijuana Laws Are Toughest?
Georgia is extra liberal on hashish than chances are you’ll assume. Atlanta lawmakers ended legal penalties for low-level marijuana possession in October. That paved the best way for state lawmakers to help legalization in numbers by no means earlier than seen.
State Senator Curt Thompson tried to legalize hashish in Georgia final yr. His invoice failed, in no small half as a result of he was the one sponsor. This time round, 5 different state lawmakers hooked up their names to the trouble.
Decriminalization is good, however legalization is a lot better. Georgia has a few of the strictest marijuana legal guidelines within the nation. Possession of greater than two ounces is punishable by a ten-year jail time period, in response to the Marijuana Policy Project.
That’s dangerous. And that’s one thing cities can’t repair on their very own.
“To get rid of the gangs, to get rid of the organized crime unit, that is the only way to do it is to do it statewide,” Thompson informed WTOC.
Based on numbers from Colorado, if Georgia have been to legalize and tax leisure hashish, it might imply greater than $340 million in tax income. Big cash! And cash that Georgia is determined to seek out from someplace. Anywhere. This is why the reply to “Could Georgia be the next state to vote for legalized weed” is a robust perhaps.
If Not Casinos, Then Cannabis
Georgia lawmakers have spent the previous few years furiously looking round for a supply of revenue. They’ve tried a number of occasions to legalize casinos with no luck.
So as an alternative of casinos, why not marijuana?
Thompson’s plan is brief on particulars. The invoice he’s launched solely authorizes the state meeting to ship the query to voters. Every different level, corresponding to who can develop it and the way it’ll be taxed or bought, continues to be up within the air.
That stated, Thompson needs to separate that $340 million windfall between schooling and transportation.
If the invoice passes the state Legislature, it will go to the voters in November 2018 for his or her remaining approval.
That’s a mighty massive if.
Final Hit: Could Georgia Be The Next State To Vote For Legalized Weed?
2018 is already shaping as much as be a banner yr for marijuana legalization. Vermont’s governor signed a legalization invoice into regulation in January. New Jersey’s governor is on discover to satisfy an identical promise. And backers of a legalization effort in Michigan say they’ve greater than sufficient help to move a poll measure in November.
Where does that depart Georgia? In the south, sadly. Support for legalization to date is restricted to city areas like Atlanta. Lawmakers in different sparsely populated areas of the state aren’t fairly so eager. Not even coastal Savannah, with its famend arts and cultural scene, is down with authorized weed.
In reality, lawmakers are each the answer and the issue.
Georgia has no citizen-initiated poll initiative course of. Changes to the state Constitution go earlier than voters, however solely legislators can ship a query to the poll.
So legalization’s solely path ahead is by way of state lawmakers. Until this yr, no state had completed that. And thus far, solely Bernie Sanders’s house state has managed that trick. Can the house of SEC soccer be the subsequent? It’s a minimum of attainable.

After a ‘Solid, But Not Exceptional’ 2015, Tire Dealers Are Upbeat About 2016
Industry analyst and Modern Tire Dealer columnist Nick Mitchell says the late start to winter in the northeast corner of the country tempered volumes at the end of 2015, but tire dealers are still calling it a good year.
“Dealers are saying business is solid, but not exceptional. Volume growth moderated in November and December due to unseasonably warm temperatures in the Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast,” says Mitchell, senior vice president and research analyst at Northcoast Research Holdings LLC. “Sentiment among the dealers is definitely upbeat, albeit not quite as optimistic as the tone at this time last year, as the participants are more divided over the likely strength in 2016.
“Specifically, one cohort is expressing optimism that an expanding car parc, including an uptick in the number of cars entering the first replacement cycle, low gasoline prices, and an improving economy will buoy volumes next year. This group expects to see a 2% to 3% increase in sell-out volumes, with some benefit accruing from the release of pent-up demand.
“Meanwhile, the rest of the dealers that we speak with anticipate that sell-out trends will track in the range of flat to up 2%, as they expect less of a windfall from deferred tire purchases arriving in 2016, as well as a more modest tailwind from lower gas prices, especially amidst growing signs that consumers in markets dependent on the oil and gas industry are starting to retrench in the wake of ongoing weakness in the price of oil.
“Tying these views together, we think it is prudent to project that domestic volumes will increase in the low-single digit range next year, which is consistent with the assumptions in our models.”
Mitchell shares his insights in the upcoming January edition of Modern Tire Dealer, which also includes the 50th annual Facts Issue.
MTD also asked Mitchell to use five words to describe the tire industry in 2015, as well as 2016. (Mitchell's five words for 2015: perpetually falling raw material prices.

A Diverse Economy
Does Hawaii need one? How should we get it?
Photos by Rae Huo
(page 2 of 4)
David Watamull, CEO of Cardax Pharmaceuticals,
Bill Spencer, CEO of Hawaii Oceanic Technology and president of the Hawaii Venture Capital Association, notes, “Right now, we have an economy that depends on tourism to survive. Yet, here we are – we don’t even have enough revenue to keep our beach bathrooms clean.” Like Gibson, Spencer believes the solution lies in building a broader base for the economy. “We’re missing one leg of the stool. We need a third leg, some way to balance the economy – because right now, if anything hurts tourism, tourism goes down and we’re in the dump.”
But to Brewbaker, diversification isn’t about jobs – or even revenues, exactly – though he does agree with the analogy of the economy as an investment portfolio. “In classic portfolio theory,” he says, “one seeks diversification as a way of maximizing risk-adjusted returns.” The idea is to reduce risk by carrying a mix of assets. That way, when one class of investments is depressed (stocks and bonds for the individual investor, say, or tourism and construction for the larger economy), the effect is moderated by others in your portfolio (real estate and commodities for the individual, or high tech and film for the state). Economists call this effect “negative cross-correlation.” The problem, according to Brewbaker, is that the government usually approaches economic diversification blindly.
“Nobody,” he says, “actually does any analysis as to whether, by diversifying into a particular industry, the negative cross-correlation of its performance with respect to existing industries’ performances is risk-reducing. The state doesn’t even know what that last sentence means; and yet, it is the actual reason for diversifying a portfolio!”
A Capital Idea
Still, the march toward diversification stumbles on. Broadly speaking, there are two camps in the debate on how to get there. (True skeptics, like Brewbaker, rarely get to make their case.) One camp believes that the main impediment to growing a vibrant tech sector is a shortage of investment capital for promising companies. The other camp, while acknowledging the dearth of capital, believes that the cure is much more complicated and includes better education, workforce development and improved infrastructure. Their debates resemble the old “chicken or the egg” dilemma.
David Watumull, president and CEO of Cardax Pharmaceuticals, believes the problem is capital. He points out that Hawaii is fairly efficient at supporting early-stage companies, helping them with proof of concept. Angel investors and a series of tax credits play a vital role at this level. “(Act) 221 was certainly part of that,” Watumull says. “It did an excellent job of getting startups going.” The difficulty, he points out, is funding the growth stages that produce viable, profitable companies. “That’s traditionally been funded by venture capital,” he says, “and Hawaii’s traditionally venture poor.”
This gap creates a kind of valley of death for Hawaii tech firms. Some stagnate and fail. Others find funding elsewhere and have to move. Watumull intones a short list of Hawaii success stories that left the Islands: Verifone, Digital Island, Pihana. He points out, “Each one probably raised a couple of million dollars and went from 10, 20, 30 people, to hundreds, maybe thousands of employees. If we want that type of growth here in Hawaii – which I believe we do – then we have to find a way to attract capital.”
To illustrate the primacy of capital in the diversification equation, Watumull likes to contrast three cities that have worked hard to create biosciences sectors: San Francisco, San Diego and Baltimore. While the first two cities have been successful, Baltimore’s efforts have been anemic, despite several advantages. Watumull notes, “They have an excellent research institution, Johns Hopkins University; they’re right near D.C.; and they have the largest number of NIH grants. But they still have very little biotech – nowhere near Boston or San Francisco or San Diego.” The reason, he says, is that those cities have capital.
Some of that, Watumull believes, is simply chance. “Each of those places started with just one or two successes,” he says, “people who by hook or by crook got their company to where they could sell it.” These successes, however accidental, provided the capital for further growth in the region. But, while that model could work here in Hawaii, it’s not a good bet. As Watumull puts it, “Here we are in the middle of the ocean, geographically isolated. We’re going to have to be proactive.” He gives several examples of regions with successful diversification strategies: Singapore, which invested its enormous sovereign funds to essentially buy a biotech industry; Arizona, which has used a carefully calibrated set of tax breaks and grants to encourage investment; and especially, Utah, which, with the bold use of a tool called a fund of funds, has managed to both create a homegrown tech industry and lure several major corporations to the state. (See sidebar on page 110.) “There are definitely ways that we could attract some significant amounts of capital,” Watumull says, “enough to have a substantial impact on Hawaii.”
All of these strategies rely on tax credits and similar tools. But Brewbaker remains skeptical about the use of tax credits, particular one-to-one credits like Act 221. “If you’re a high net-worth individual with millions of dollars in income and a $100,000 tax liability with the state, you can simply invest in a qualifying high-technology business (the definition of which is arbitrary, if loosely sensible) and claim a tax credit for the entire amount. In effect, the state has given you back the $100,000 you owed.”

The infrared microspectrometer (micro-FTIR) uses an infrared source to probe absorptions in the mid-IR region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Using apertures, the radiation is allowed to pass through a very specific region of a sample (as small as 5×5 μm). The infra-red radiation interacts with the sample permitting characterization of the bonds present and in many cases, the identity of the substance or mixture being probed. This technique is mainly used for the analysis of organic substances such as polymers, drugs, chemicals, and unknown materials; however, micro-FTIR can also be used to study inorganic materials such as minerals, fillers and extenders. Raman microspectroscopy is a complementary technique, which permits characterization of many substances that do not absorb strongly in the IR.
Microtrace scientists have trained extensively in FTIR spectral interpretation, we maintain an extensive library of texts on FTIR spectra of specific classes of materials, and bring in subject matter experts for lectures and internal short courses to ensure Microtrace is up to date in the most recent advances in instrumentation and interpretation. This experience is supplemented by spectral libraries of over 200,000 compounds, some of which have been developed and verified by our laboratory.
Microtrace utilizes two micro infrared spectrometers, a Perkin Elmer Spectrum Spotlight and a Thermo iN10 infrared microscope. Utilizing a multipixel MCT detector, hyperspectral maps and stage mapping mapping can be conducted to produce spectral images of complex matrices. Compression cell, diamond anvil, and IR polarization optics are available for use as needed. A standard FTIR bench is also available for macro samples and other samples requiring a custom configuration.

Judge Says Casey Kasem Can Go Home With Wife If Doctor Allows It
Former radio personality Casey Kasem, who was transported to a hospital following a fight between his wife Jean and her step daughter Kerri Kasem over the weekend, can go home with his wife to their home in Washington state if doctor approves. Kitsap County Superior Court Judge Jennifer Forbes announced the decision on Monday, June 2.
Kerri and Jean have been involved in a public feud over the ailing radio personality's care. Kasem, who voiced Shaggy of "Scooby Doo", has been suffering from Lewy body disease which is a form of dementia. On Friday morning, a judge allowed Kerri to visit her father for one hour a day at a home in Washington state where he lives with Jean and some close friends.
"I'm not going to say anything much except that I'm happy with how the court proceedings went today," Kerri said after she was granted visitation, as quoted by CNN. Jean, who was disappointed with the decision, told media, "Shame on these children."
On Sunday, the two's argument got worse. According to NBC News, Jean threw hamburger meat at Kerri when she showed up with an ambulance to take her father to hospital. "In the name of King David, I threw a piece of raw meat into the street in exchange for my husband to the wild rabid dogs," Jean was quoted as saying.
A Kitsap County sheriff's spokesman said that officers responding to a report from the house found Kerri and Jean arguing. A doctor was present when Casey was transported to hospital on Sunday.

Projects per year
Biocatalysis complements the classical organic synthesis, and in many cases the superior selectivity of a biocatalyst is a strong driver explaining why there are an increasing number of processes where traditional organic synthesis has been replaced or combined with biocatalytic industrial process steps. An important fact is also that different types of selectivity make biocatalysis an excellent tool for overcoming difficulties typically associated with organic synthesis. Regioselectivity of the biocatalysts offers potential process simplification compared to the organic synthesis routes (reduction of the number of protective/deprotective steps), and stereoselectivity of the biocatalyst enables production of the desired chiral compounds, which often are building blocks of APIs. Currently there are many established processes in the industry using biocatalysis (≈ 300), e.g the usage of lipases, esterases, ketoreductases and proteases and many more emerging biocatalysts such are monoamine oxidases, transaminases and P450 monooxygenases to name a few. The focus of this thesis is the biocatalytic synthesis of small molecule pharmaceuticals (Mw<1000), and in particular the production of optically pure amines via ω-transaminases, which is an interesting class of reactions for the pharmaceutical industry. There are many challenges related to the realization and implementation of these technologies, and attempts of tackling them have been numerous. In some cases ω-transaminase catalyzed reactions are thermodynamically challenged and equilibrium shifting strategies are required. The proposed equilibrium shifting strategies are selection of an amino donor, excess of an amino donor, in-situ product removal (ISPR) and in-situ co-product removal. (ISCPR). For severely thermodynamically challenged reactions ISCPR by enzymatic cascades often provides the only viable option as equilibrium shifting strategy. In the literature several enzymatic cascades have been reported as an ISCPR for the ω-transaminase systems, however in most cases no process considerations have been made and the consequences of using a givens cascade in an industrial process context have thus not been considered properly. In this research lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (E.C. 220.127.116.11), alanine dehydrogenase (E.C. 18.104.22.168) (AlaDH) and yeast alcohol dehydrogenase (E.C. 22.214.171.124) (YADH) have been researched as co-product degrading enzymes and glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) (E.C. 126.96.36.199) and formate dehydrogenase (E.C. 188.8.131.52) (FDH) as co-factor regeneration enzymes. Additionally pyruvate decarboxylase (E.C. 184.108.40.206) (PDC) and acetolactate synthase (E.C. 220.127.116.11) (ALS) have been considered as co-product degrading options. This work presents a procedure for cascade selection based on process considerations: thermodynamics, selectivity and operational stability while the final selection is further supported by the use of kinetic models. From the above presented cascade system options, the selection procedure identified the LDH/FDH cascade system as the system that is most promising for future industrial implementation. Furthermore, the required improvements of the ω-transaminase have been identified as a function of the added cascade enzymes and for the case γLDH = 11 g L-1, γFDH = 11 g L-1 and cNADH = 0.1 mmol L-1, it was found that the ω-transaminase activity expressed as Vmax_f,r is required to be 55.33 mmol min-1 L-1 to achieve 95 % conversion within 24 h. Further investigation concluded that a significant LDH concentration reduction is possible if inhibition by lactate is alleviated (preferably by protein engineering). This thesis identified the UFMR (UltraFiltration Membrane Reactor) as a viable process design option and charge analysis showed that ISPR is possible via ion exchange resins or electrodialysis. An ISPR example showed that process intensification could yield significant reductions in the required ω-transaminase activity improvement (up to five fold improvement) needed to achieve a viable industrial process, as well as reduction of required tolerance toward product inhibition. Although this thesis has been based on a specific case of a severely thermodynamically challenged ω-transaminase reaction (Keq = 4.03∙10-5), the selection framework can be transferred to any thermodynamically challenged reaction where the use of ISCPR by enzymes is considered to shift the equilibrium. Therefore, this work delivers: a) a method for initial investigation of thermodynamic limitations and viability of one or more equilibrium shifting strategies; b) a method for selecting a viable cascade option for ISCPR based on industrial conditions; c) information on the required enzyme performance e.g. the activity of the ω-transaminase, and potentially required compromises using process intensification tools and methods.

In this sense, it is important that you (the borrower) sign the agreement as long as you have passed the terms, negotiated and found that the terms provided are the best in the industry. We say this because it would be a serious mistake for you to sign a loan agreement with unfavourable terms, especially because you can find lenders that offer loans at reasonable and reasonable rates and terms If you need to create a loan agreement in Rockville, Baltimore, Annapolis, Bethesda, Frederick, Ocean City or other Maryland cities, we help you start with our free credit contract forms available here. Commitment obligations have also been changed. A commitment is a written and binding agreement between a borrower and a lender that defines the terms of the loan renewal to the borrower. This document must be issued within a prescribed time frame if one of the conditions of a funding agreement may change after its implementation. However, the amendments now allow for an alternative option to be considered. Closing notifications made available to the borrower and in accordance with C.F.R. Section 1026.38 will act as an evasive option for a commitment. If not all the provisions of the funding agreement can be changed, the funding agreement is the final agreement between the parties on the elements covered. If the information contained in the financing agreement changes, the lender must send the borrower a bond executed by the lender at least 72 hours before the liquidation date. However, after the completion of the financing agreement, the borrower may, in writing, waive the 72-hour pre-presentation requirement and accept the obligation at the count if the lender discloses that the 72-hour pre-submission requirement is not feasible. It is also interesting to note that a loan agreement negotiated and accepted by both parties allows the borrower to repay the loan at their own pace because the borrower develops a payment plan that works well for you.
The full text of S.B 392 is available at mgaleg.maryland.gov/2017RS/bills/sb/sb0392T.pdf. If you offer a loan to a friend, family or acquaintance, creating and imposing a comprehensive loan contract with all the important clauses might make you feel like an overbought, but putting the paper on paper after a condition check promises to protect you and even help you many unnecessary complications. For example, a friend may eventually take the loan as a gift and not repay it. To get your money back if there is a problem, you need an agreement. And remember that we all have verbal agreements and handshake agreements in the past. Whether it`s a commercial loan or a personal loan, this form will take you to everything you need to know about the deal. The written loan contract, regardless of the relationship you have with the borrower, means that you don`t have unnecessary arguments about repaying the loan and this type of contract could be the kind of thing that will allow you to maintain a strong relationship with your friends/family, especially if you meet the terms and you don`t have to get your car back because of an unpaid debt. Before signing the Maryland loan agreement, you should know that the state-imposed interest rate limit is 6% in the absence of written agreements and 8% if there is a written agreement.
And lenders who break this law will be forced to pay up to 3X more in fees and interest collected, or $500, plus there is. The state also sets the maximum interest rates imposed by the courts for judgments at 10%. Previously, a financing agreement – a written agreement between a borrower and a lender setting the terms of a purchase/refinancing loan – was to be presented to the borrower within a prescribed time frame. However, the amendments that have been adopted allow for an alternative option.

Top 10: Reasons It Sucks To Be A Man In The Middle East
2. Because you can't trust the governments
Some countries in the Middle East operate under “tawrith” -- inherited rule -- with Arab rulers simply passing the power on to their firstborn sons. And in countries where there are public elections, the results are often met with suspicion and accusations of corruption. The most high profile of these in recent years was the re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, whose opposition demanded a recount of votes after it declared there were “missing ballots.” And even in Bahrain’s elections last October, there were stories that some people were prevented from voting. Justice Minister Sheikh Khalifa Bin Ali Al Khalifa described the affair as having “a few irregularities, but overall the vote had been fair.” Just a little dubious?

In 1867 it was suggested to Parliament by John Stuart Mill that women should get the vote. This was refused but women began to take action and this issue grew in importance, until women were given the vote in 1918, just after World War One. But why was there a lack of success of the movements for women's suffrage in achieving their aims by 1914 and why were they successful in getting the vote after World War One? There were two groups of women who each used different means to try and win women the right to vote. The first group of women were the Suffragists.
The Suffragists used peaceful activities to make their cause known. They held meetings, produced pamphlets, drew up petitions and tried to win MP's support. Until 1914 the Suffragists thought that because not all men had the vote neither should all women. The Suffragists peaceful activities did not attract much publicity or interest for their struggle as pamphlets and petitions do not make exciting news. This is probably a reason why they were unsuccessful. Perhaps if the Suffragists had joined together with all the disenfranchised men also fighting for the vote they may have been more successful. This is because there would have been more people campaigning for the same thing and there is strength in numbers, showing the Government that for many the fight for the vote was very important. However their would have been a problem with this as many of the disenfranchised men believed that women were not as important as them and so thought that women should not be entitled to the vote.
The other group of women were known as the Suffragettes who were more militant and aggressive than the Suffragists. They interrupted political meetings with banner waving and heckling and organised rallies, marches and petitions. When they were still unsuccessful in winning votes for women they began taking part in illegal activities such as smashing windows, setting properties on fire, pouring acid through letterboxes and destroying golf courses and this resulted in imprisonment when caught.

The union government has sought the Supreme Court’s approval to undertake a project to re-introduce cheetahs in India.
Tracing the creature’s history, the government said it was incorrect to suggest that cheetah is a foreign animal. Several parts of northern India under the Mughal empire had habitats occupied by cheetahs.
Reintroduction of the cheetah in India involves the artificial re-establishment of a population of cheetahs into areas where they had previously existed but were hunted into extinction by the British colonial officers and Indian royalty.
A part of the reintroduction process is the identification and restoration of their former grassland scrub forest habitats. This is within the scope of the duties of the local forest department of each State, where relocation occurs, through the use of Indian Central Government funding.
In an application filed before the top court, the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) has asked it to clarify its 2013 order, which had then quashed a notification issued by the ministry of environment, forest and climate change to introduce African cheetah at the Kuno sanctuary in Madhya Pradesh.
Suitable sites have been identified by the Wildlife Institute of India. These include Kuno Wildlife Sanctuary and Nauradehi Wildlife Sanctuary in Madhya Pradesh, and Shahgarh area in Rajasthan.
Kuno was found most appropriate, considering its feasibility on account of its improved habitat status owing to relocation of 24 villages. The three sites continue to be monitored by the Wildlife Institute of India. More sites can be examined if the court permits.
By the beginning of the twentieth century, the species was already heading for extinction in many areas. The last physical evidence of the Asiatic cheetah in India was thought to be three, all shot by the Maharajah Ramanuj Pratap Singh Deo of Surguja in 1947, in eastern Madhya Pradesh or northern Chhattisgarh, a man also noted for holding a record for shooting 1,360 tigers, but a female was sighted in Koriya district, in what is now Chhattisgarh, in 1951.

Look on a regular red carpet day, we love K-Stew, normally she can do no wrong sartorially speaking. But this Reem Acra gown was just not OK! The lace, the tulle, it’s just too much fuss for our fave tomboy gal.
We know she was on crutches (thanks to getting a bit of glass wedged in her foot, ouch!) but that doesn’t mean K-Stew had to leave behind her special blend of red carpet grunge we’ve come to know and love. Talking of which – where were her Converses?!

Bar & Bench spoke to lawyers from across India - both senior and junior - to find out how much (if at all) litigating lawyers pay their juniors. What are the trends and practices across different cities? How do some lawyers justify not paying their juniors?
The trend in Chennai is similar to the pupillage system in Mumbai, where experience gets priority over payment. Most senior lawyers in Chennai believe that the early years of legal practice are meant for learning on the job, and in providing their junior associates a platform for such growth.
There are some chambers in the city that do not pay freshers at all. But then, there are also some seniors who pay a percentage of their fees to junior associates.
Most of them, however, agree with the recent statement made by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, to an extent. They believe that the onus to ensure that juniors are paid must not be foisted on the seniors alone, but that the State government too must step in and offer some sort of subsidy for young lawyers, at least for the first three years of their practice.
In fact, the State government had taken up such an initiative not too long ago. In 2020, the AIADMK government that was in power at the time announced a stipend scheme for young lawyers. The Tamil Nadu Young Advocates Monthly Allowance Scheme, as it was called, promised a monthly stipend of ₹3,000 for two years to "newly enrolled lawyers."
Junior lawyers who did not own a four-wheeler and whose annual family income was less than ₹2.5 lakh were eligible to receive such stipend. The scheme also required the applicants to produce a certificate from their senior lawyers once every six months to prove continuous practice.
When the scheme was first launched, 1,000 lawyers were given the stipend amount for the first year. However, once the regime changed, the government stopped paying such stipend, members of the Bar Council of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry said. The Bar Council further claimed that its members have been sending representations to the current DMK government to get the scheme back on track, but their efforts are yet to yield a result.
Senior Advocate NL Rajah, who began his practice as a junior to former Advocate General Govind Swaminathan, was "one of the few lucky ones," who got paid well, as his senior was particularly generous. His friends at the time, however, used to earn ₹100-150 a month, Raja revealed.
At present, however, the trend is that juniors, especially fresh law graduates, get paid a modest stipend to cover their basic expenses and the amount is enhanced as one learns the ropes and proves one's mettle, he said.
"Juniors in terms of salary fall within two categories. The first is juniors who wish to practice, and the other is those who want a more comfortable position by becoming employees at law firms. For instance, in my office, since I am a senior counsel, I do not do filings. I allow my juniors to sometimes handle their own cases.
But, for category two, you run the risk of hitting a plateau and get to a point of stagnancy, unless you become a partner at a law firm. But, the general trend is that most law firms are family-owned. Of course, working for a law firm gives you financial stability from day one. Others, who opt for private practice, must know that in the beginning, you really have to fend for yourself, either on your own or, under a senior."
Rajah added that he allows his juniors to take on cases of their own.
"But, since they are only spending a part of their time with me, they usually get paid ₹15,000-20,000 per month to begin with. But, you must remember that the first three years are an immense learning opportunity. After three years, if you have done well, you can earn reasonably well," he said.
The senior counsel cautioned that in the beginning, young lawyers must know their challenges. It is a rough fight, but they have to be brave and they might need support from their families, he added.
"The State government must look at some sort of a subsidy scheme to sustain such young lawyers. But that must strictly be for students who have graduated from that particular State. And the concerned Bar Council can work with the State to come up with a modest stipend for the first three years. The CJI saying so is welcome, but that is only half the problem solved. The balance must come from every state government. The State must commit, as it has a stake in getting good law officers. The State is the largest litigant.
So, the CJI's speech must not be seen as being pushed only upon seniors. A good system must be put in place by all stakeholders - the Bar, the Bench, and the government. A fearless and independent Bar is possible only when its members have financial stability," Rajah concluded.
Senior Advocate and human rights activist D Nagasaila agreed with her colleague on the need for the State to provide some financial stability for young lawyers.
"When you are talking about lawyers and financial stability, there is a huge disparity. Some lawyers stay hand-to-mouth forever. We have all seen lawyers sitting in cars outside court buildings and working from there. Today, the juniors are treated more like apprentices and are paid as they grow," Nagasaila said.
The senior lawyer added that such trend of not paying freshers adequately presupposes that these young lawyers have wealthy backgrounds, or a support system.
"I have seen so many lawyers quit the profession or, take up other jobs, save some money, and then come back to practice. That is why there has been a long standing demand in Tamil Nadu to offer some stipend in the initial years to help them stand on their feet," she said.
Nagasaila said that there are several lawyers who can pay well, and yet do not pay anything to their juniors, either out of habit or because they are conservative when it comes to the issue of remuneration.
"Sometimes, even a senior lawyer takes up cases where the litigants can barely afford to cover even the court fee. So it is not a straight forward issue. It is multi-layered. It depends on so many factors such as the nature of practice, the kind of lawyer one is.
My juniors are paid ₹15,000 to 20,000 per month. But I don't think this amount is uniform. There are some chambers who do not pay at all. You have to be very frugal when you are a young lawyer, because even ₹15,000 to 20,000 isn't that much money," she said.
Cautioning against off-the-cuff remarks on seniors paying juniors, Nagasaila believes that the malaise is much deeper and raises many more fundamental and complex issues.
"When I began practicing in 1988, I used to get ₹500 per month. 30 years ago, it was a lot of money. And my husband was enrolled in a fellowship programme and was being paid ₹1000 to 1200. So we did okay and even managed to pay ₹600 as rent. But today, even legal education has become very expensive. Many youngsters have education loans to repay and several other pressures. So, today the reality is far more complex."
Advocate Deepika Murali, who practices at the Madras High Court and the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), said that she started her practice in the year 2010. At the time, she was paid around ₹6,500 per month. She then moved to a firm, where she was paid ₹35,000 per month.
Today, she has a team of her own, with three associates who get paid ₹40,000 per month "regardless of anything," Murali said.
"Apart from the fixed pay, they get a variable pay roughly every quarter for specific matters they work on. I also give them an end of the year bonus. So, in our office, it is very performance-based. As you develop a niche practice in a city like Chennai, you must encourage young lawyers. And monetary incentives play a really important role," she said.
Advocate Shubharanjani Ananth, who started her practice from the offices of TS Gopalan & Co, says that when a young lawyer begins work, the emphasis must be on the "learning curve and not the earning”. Ananth believes that learning in litigation practice comes from a senior's chambers or a court room.
"So, up to the age of 30, those who can and those who do not have the burden of having to sustain themselves, must focus on learning and not earning," she said.
She argued that it it was difficult to follow a fixed salary system in the legal profession. However, at the same time, a senior must be conscious of the fact that sustaining a decent standard of life is very expensive in the current times. The senior must think of fostering the growth of the younger lawyer rather than seeing it as payment of salary. That way, there would be a more fair compensation to the younger lawyer.
"The cost of legal education is high; parents expect that their children will start earning as soon as they begin working. That is why a lot of youngsters end up quitting litigation practice. This is unfortunate. So, should salaries be standardised? Maybe not...there can be no standardisation of junior lawyer fees because of factors such as varying nature of practice. The legal profession's incapability to ascribe a value to the learning component, no uniform hourly billing system being followed by all lawyers, varying skill-sets of juniors and their actual contribution to the brief, all of these are variables," Ananth said.
Ananth pays around ₹15,000 per month to freshers who work with her.
Senior Advocate and Additional Advocate General J Ravindran has decided to not follow the trend and to instead be liberal while paying his juniors.
"I completely agree with the CJI. I believe that junior lawyers are severely underpaid. One worrying factor in Chennai is that some of the senior lawyers do not even pay the minimum one-third of the fees to the engaging counsels, which really should be a matter of practice," Ravindran said.
"I have decided I am going to pay 40 per cent of my fees to my juniors because, currently, a very sorry state of affairs is prevalent here," he said.
Ravindran said that he personally had a relatively good experience when he began working fifteen years ago.
"Two names that I must mention are former Advocate General R Krishnamoorthi and Senior Advocate K Alagirisamy," he said.
After he completed six months at work with Krishnamoorthi, Ravindran started being paid ₹12,000 per month, he said. And Alagirisamy was someone who would give a substantial portion of the fees to his juniors "as soon as he received a cheque," Ravindran said.
"However, I have had some negative experiences too. Several seniors for whom I burnt the midnight oil, have not paid me anything. And had they paid me then, I would have been very rich by now," Ravindran said with a laugh.
"On a serious note though, the practice of paying junior counsel who engage seniors, must be uniformly implemented in the Supreme Court as well. Because besides being essential for sustenance, a good pay also works as a source of encouragement for lawyers," he said.
Senior Advocate Hema Sampath, a veteran on the appellate side, says she pays one third of her fees to her juniors, as is the trend for this side of practice.
These days, there are some districts such as Coimbatore and Madurai, where junior lawyers get paid a fair remuneration but there are other districts where juniors do not get paid at all, she revealed.
"When I began practicing, my clients actually used to come with a jackfruit, or a sack of peanuts instead of money in return for work. So, I have literally worked for peanuts," Sampath said.
"In our office, we pay juniors a minimum of on-third of the fees, and if a junior brings in a lot of work, she gets paid more also. But, it cannot be so in all offices. Ours is a very traditional office and I am a Senior Advocate. Yet, I still do not know how much to charge for a case. There are some law offices that work like companies. They give fixed salaries and juniors keep shifting from one office to another. In our office, we don't work like that. We have been together for years," she added.
Advocate Girrish Sundaram said that in Chennai, the money that juniors and interns get paid is not enough to sustain themselves in the current economic scenario.
"Monthly pay of ₹20,000 for a fresher may sound too high amongst legal circles, but the truth is that a fresh professional in any other field tends to be paid much more. Hence, there does exist a huge disparity in payment to juniors. In many offices, interns are not paid at all, but work is extracted from them in the name of learning. For the graduates to be, that seems to be good bargain, considering the learning and exposure weighed against salary/stipend," Sundaram said.
He feels this practice is part of the legacy left behind by the previous generation seniors, when the profession used to be mainly chamber-run.
"But now, advocates who are 25-26 years old are struggling to make even ₹25,000 per month. The seniors must realise that even juniors need to run a home, and sustain themselves," he said.
He went on to say that there are big offices that despite making a lot of money, do not pay their juniors enough. On the flipside, he added,
"Of course, the other side is that there are independent senior lawyers who themselves do not get a regular income as it depends on the number of cases they are handling, and the clients they have. So in such circumstances, how will their juniors get paid?"
He went on to say,
"Advocate profession has become a profession where only seniors can make money. At least those juniors in the High Court still get paid some money, but what about those practicing in district courts? They don't even make ₹10,000 to 15,000 per month. So some form of stipend from the government will prove very useful to freshers to sustain themselves during the initial years."
Sundaram said that in his office, interns get stipend of ₹5,000 and juniors start at ₹15,000 per month. This sum is raised to ₹20,000 based on their performance in a year.
Additional Government Pleader S John J Raja Singh opined that while juniors should be paid well, they must also understand that "no one is intentionally not paying them."
Singh believes that it might not be possible to have a fixed salary in the legal profession.
"Definitely, juniors should be paid. But the fact is that juniors must understand they are not clerks who come to a senior's office to merely to clock in hours. There are some months where one might get two to three cases, while some months, there might not be any cases. My theory is that a junior must understand that a stipend is not permanent. It just something that prepares you to survive when you do not get a lot many cases in the early years of private practice. But, even if one does not get paid, say for a month, one must understand that that is how this profession works. Assume, a junior has a fixed monthly amount that he gets paid, and is a little lethargic, how will such a person be motivated to serve clients?" Singh said.
Personally, Singh initially observes a junior for three to six months and pays him or her a minimal stipend during such period.
"Then, when I see that they are ably assisting me, that they are sharp, punctual, and they do not ask me when it is time to leave office, then I may give them a percentage of my fees.
I work as a government pleader so, there is no guarantee by what time I will get done with work on any given day. Most nights, I work till 11 pm.
So, I have to see if a fresher on the government side is willing to follow this work standard. Juniors should, in their own interest, be willing to work very hard for the first five to ten years," Singh said.

Calendar of significant dates in the field of mathematics and mathematical education for 2018
Reinterpretation of approaches of John Locke, Immanuel Kant and Charles Peirce helps to single out three integral organons of cognition. One is mathematics, or cognition of measure and art of all kind of measurement. Another is morphology or cognition of forms and art of arranging shapes and configurations. One more is semiotics or cognition of meanings and art of their transfer. It is demonstrated that all three organons vary and provide specific fields of knowledge and areas of research. Current versions and varieties of disciplinary manifestations of organons are reviewed. Mathematics is the most developed complex of scientific disciplines. Morphology is a constellation of a number of assorted and fully independent disciplines. Semiotics is rifted by a gap between rough outline of general or «pure» semiotics (Morris) and a nebula of unevenly elaborated semiologies of various sorts – that of languages, literatures, cinema, heraldry, race discrimination or ideological manipulations. Analysis of political discourses and speech acts can contribute to integration of common area of semiotic research.
The coursebook is designed for students to acquire, practice, and master their communicative competence in academic writing in English, the focus being on fundamental and applied mathematics and computer science. The target of the book is to teach students to write research project proposals of their term papers, senior theses, and dissertations in the format of a research article which could prospectively be published in a Scopus- or We-of-Science-indexed journals. The book covers both academic writing and academic speaking, i.e. presenting research at conferences and defences.
The materials employed in the book are research articles published in international peer-reviewed journals, both full-text and excerpts.
The target audience comprises undergraduate students majoring in IT, fundamental and applied mathematics, and cyber- and information security. The book could also be of interest to students majoring in other STEM areas, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
The introductory article clarifies the title of the current issue of «METHOD» and explicates the purpose of the entire publication. It explains slight but telling differences between the Russian, English and German phrasings that expound the meaning of the title and purpose of the yearbook. Subtle but indicative differences between languages and modes of speech and thought highlight a major issue of knowledge transfer. The yearbook departs from knowledge transfer to a more incentive issue of convergence and divergence of cognitive skills. Introduction focuses on transdisciplinary organons. They derive from our basic cognitive abilities. The initial one is the faculty to tell relative degrees of our sensations (bigger - smaller, warmer - colder etc.) and then to rate sizes of things and intensity of processes. The following one is pattern recognition or our ability to single out certain ‘rated’ entities from their environment. The subsequent one is our capacity to assign meaning to the ‘recognized’ figures and forms of the world around. It further supplements with the gift to use words and images to grasp sense and to convey it. Each of the three fundamental cognitive abilities diverge into further generations of abundant skills and proficiencies. Elaborate methods of scientific research outreach to thresholds of our knowledge. Right there they intertwine with each other. Interdisciplinary linkages develop. Transdisciplinary prospects loom. We conceive imminent convergence of our methodological skills into three transdisciplinary organons congenial to the three cognitive abilities. The first one is metretics or the higher technique of measurement and calculus. It resides in mathematical and statistical studies. The next one is morphetics or the expertise of exploring forms, shapes and figures. It resides in all kinds of morphological, comparative, configurative and evolutionary research. The last one is semiotics or the art of processing sense and reference. It resides in still budding semiologies, cognitive arts and still rudimentary humanities.
The paper discusses in detail the scale of translation of primary points scored by school graduates in the unified state exam in mathematics, used from 2013 to the present time. Based on the analysis of the dynamics of these scales, a conclusion is made about the annual increase in the "average" 100-point result, as well as the presence of a significant increase in the final grade compared with the linear scale. Additionally, the authors describe the effect of reducing the value of primary points as they approach the maximum.


The Bucks County Emergency Management Agency will activate the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) at 7 p.m. Tuesday in response to the severe weather affecting the region.
The storm is expected to dump several inches of rain and bring strong winds to the area through Tuesday night and into Wednesday. Monitor local media and weather reports for the latest weather conditions, and stay alert for emergency notifications.
Flooding is likely along the Neshaminy Creek and in low-lying or flood prone areas, with flash flooding possible during the periods of heaviest rain. Power outages may also occur.
Some road closures have already been reported, and motorists should be aware of hazardous road conditions arising from flooding, fallen trees and downed power lines.
Residents are reminded not to drive into flooded roadways. It takes just a few inches of water to move a vehicle.
Tidal flooding along the Delaware River also is a possibility this evening, especially during high tide. In Bucks County, tidal flooding typically affects areas near and to the south of Morrisville.
After the rain has moved on, staff at the EOC will continue to monitor the Neshaminy and Delaware, as water levels are expected to rise through Thursday in some areas.
The EOC serves as the County’s emergency response nerve center during incidents that require the mobilization and coordination of multiple emergency services, government and nonprofit agencies.

Development Nirbhay the company does Advanced Systems Laboratory, Division of defense research and development (DRDO) of India. Despite the fact that the project has been five years of the latest cruise missile until it is clear not much. According to official data, it will own in the range of 800-1000 km and subsonic flight. Rocket designed using stealth technology.
According to the Managing DRDO Vijay Kumar Saraswat, design and aerodynamic calculations have been completed, and lately begin prototyping. As expected, the first tests Nirbhay place before the end of 2010, and the public will show the newest missile in the Indian AeroIndia-2011 air show.
It is possible that India may face a slippage in developing Nirbhay. In any case, some of the Indian military projects are champions in development time. For example, a tank Arjun Indian DRDO has created in 34 years. Indian Tejas fighter created in 1983, and in April 2010, the Government of India has extended the development of the aircraft to the December 31, 2018, in other words, up to 35 years.
This also applies to some other military developments in India, which vpribavok to all parts supplied in the performance of unknown properties. Thus, the long development all of the same tank Arjun was justified abundance of technical flaws that were detected each time to foster military trials for almost 10 years. Ballistic missile Prithvi, standing armed India and capable of carrying a nuclear warhead, and sometimes glitch. Namely, the March of Indian missile test failed due to a bad start Prithvi.
It seems however, India is interested in the early development Nirbhay. To a large extent this is due to the fact that the adjoining Pakistan is increasing its military power. In March 2010, the participation of India tests ballistic missiles in response to the U.S. announcement of intention to transfer to Pakistan of 14 new F-16 fighter Fighting Falcon. In addition, the creation of Nirbhay will allow to increase the strategic power of the Indian Air Force.
Of strategic weapons Air Force India at the moment can only use svobodnopadayuschie nuclear bomb. Presumably, armed Indian aviation are Israeli cruise missiles Popeye II, purchased in 1998, but clear information on their numbers and no media. In addition, the range of these missiles is only 80 km away, which imposes restrictions on their use. Nirbhay will allow to apply the dot and operational nuclear strikes on enemy targets without the need to fly into his area that can be covered by a shield of defense.
At the same time, Nirbhay after adopting the Indian Air Force will be the second in a row cruise missile, used by the Air Force, not including Popeye. The first cruise missile in 2012 will become the "BrahMos" air-based design which is a joint Indo-Russian venture BrahMos Aerospace. This rocket, tests which will begin in late 2010, is designed for anti-ship and land-based enemy targets.
As expected, the "BrahMos" missile will be the first in the Air Force, capable of destroying targets at a distance of 300 km. None of the missiles air-to-surface, standing in the Air Force India at the moment, is not capable of striking targets at ranges greater than 100 km. Long range will only be Nirbhay. All the same, "BrahMos", which is planned to be used on board the Su-30MKI is not capable of carrying a nuclear warhead.
It must be emphasized that India wants to significantly expand the range of weapons Su-30MKI fighters, which ultimately will make a huge part of the Indian Air Force fighter fleet. In 1996-1998, India has ordered the Russian Federation 50 Su-30MKI fighters, and later has placed an order for 40 aircraft. India also has a license to build 140 Su-30MKI fighters, which must be collected prior to 2017. First, in October 2009, India announced that he wants to buy 50 more aircraft.
In March, it became clear that our homeland and India are in talks to supply 42 Su-30MKI fighters. At the moment, the Indian Air Force owns 104 of these fighters, and by 2015, that number should increase to 230. Purchase of aircraft will be carried out within the framework of the modernization programs from the Indian Air Force, which in the coming 12 years
planned izderzhat than 100 billion dollars.

Family & Companions
Model-actress Ali Landry became an overnight sensation in one of the most memorable Super Bowl commercials ever. Already crowned Miss Louisiana Teen USA 1990 and Miss USA 1996, the Louisiana beauty turned to acting in 1997. The following year Landry broke out nationwide with a star-making appearance as the über-athletic "Doritos Girl" in a television commercial aired during Super Bowl XXXII and soon picked up recurring roles on such series as "Pensacola: Wings of Gold" (syndicated, 1997-2000) and "Felicity" (WB, 1998-2002). Two years later, Landry made her feature film debut alongside Minnie Driver in the beauty pageant comedy "Beautiful (2000). While low-budget fare like "Repli-Kate" (2002) traded in on her stellar looks, Landry showed promise as a comedic actor with a regular cast role on the sitcom "Eve" (UPN, 2003-06). Landry earned high marks for her performance in Alejandro Gomez Monteverde's well-regarded indie drama "Bella" (2007). Later work included a notable guest turn in 2008 on the police procedural "Criminal Minds" (CBS, 2005- ) and a supporting role in the inspirational drama film "Me Again" (2012). Determined to be regarded as more than just a pretty face, Landry continually pursued her professional aspirations while remaining true to her personal beliefs.
Ali Germaine Landry was born into a family with deep Cajun roots on July 21, 1973 in Breaux Bridge, LA. A cheerleader in high school, Landry's first foray into the pageant world came in 1990 when the athletic beauty was named Miss Louisiana Teen USA. After graduating from Cecilia High School in 1991, Landry attended the University of Southern Louisiana (later University of Louisiana at Lafayette), where she majored in communications before representing her home state in the Miss USA competition and taking home the crown in 1996. Later that year, Landry competed in the Miss Universe pageant and finished among the top six finalists. Having already modeled for several years, Landry began her acting career in 1997 with small roles on series like the comedy spin-off "Clueless" (ABC/UPN, 1996-99) and the sword-and-sorcery adventure "Conan" (syndicated, 1997-98), in addition to a minor recurring appearance on the daytime soap "Sunset Beach" (NBC, 1997-99). She later gained a bit of early hosting experience on the short-lived sketch comedy show "Prime Time Comedy" (NBC, 1998) and UPN's clip show "America's Greatest Pets" (1998).
Landry's most notable appearance by far that year was as the focus of a television commercial for Doritos snack chips. Co-starring comedic actor Sean Hayes, the spot allowed Landry to put her years of gymnastic training to good use. As a stunningly attractive woman simply doing her laundry, her dexterous passion for the snack seemingly defied the laws of gravity as she jumped and flipped across the laundromat snatching chips out of the air. Originally broadcast during Super Bowl XXXII, it left a nation of football fans slack-jawed with appreciation and prompted The New York Post to proclaim "A star was born" the following day. The attention lavished upon the "Doritos Girl" was not without its downside, though, as over the months that followed her sensational breakthrough, Landry was pelted on more than one occasion with bags of Doritos by misguided fans. Though many of Landry's early roles simply traded on her stunning features - the pilot for the short-lived "Significant Others" (Fox, 1998) billed her as merely "Gorgeous Woman" - she handled character parts well, including a multi-episode arc on the military adventure series "Pensacola: Wings of Gold" (syndicated, 1997-2000) and a recurring role on "Felicity" (The WB, 1998-2002) as Natalie, the unexpected spouse of series regular Scott Foley.
Things were looking up in Landry's personal life as well. In 1998, the beauty met former "Saved by the Bell" (NBC, 1989-93) heartthrob Mario Lopez while serving as a color commentator for the Miss Teen USA pageant. Landry made her feature film debut, not surprisingly, in the beauty pageant dramedy "Beautiful (2000), starring Minnie Driver and directed by Sally Field. Less notable projects included the low-budget horror movie "Soulkeeper" (2001) and the National Lampoon sci-fi sex romp "Repli-Kate" (2002), in which Landry was type cast as a scientifically created "perfect woman." Mixing business with pleasure, Landry appeared opposite her beau Lopez in the direct-to-DVD crime drama, "Outta Time" (2002). Television hosting duties kept Landry's visibility high with steady work on the reality-revenge show "Spy TV" (NBC 2001-02), the concert series "Farmclub.com" (USA Network, 2001), and the haute couture program "Full Frontal Fashion" (syndicated, 2002-03). Landry continued to accrue acting credits, as well with appearances as a Playmate-style model in the juvenile comedy "Who's Your Daddy?" (2003) and a pair of performances on the short-lived action series "Fastlane" (Fox, 2002-03) before joining the cast of "Eve" (UPN, 2003-06) as one of rap star Eve's girlfriends, a former model. After a six-year courtship with Lopez - one followed intensely by the tabloids - the aesthetically pleasing pair finally married in 2004. Sadly, the marriage was annulled within two weeks - reportedly after Landry discovered infidelities on Lopez's behalf, just prior to their wedding.
In 2005, Landry met Mexican director Alejandro Gomez Monteverde, reportedly at a church Bible study. Putting her painful and brief first marriage behind her, Landry and Monteverde became engaged on Memorial Day of that year before tying the knot in early 2006. Landry's union with the director extended to a professional relationship when she took part in Monteverde's next feature film, the acclaimed drama "Bella" (2006), an emotional pro-life tale of forgiveness and redemption. Continuing to expand her acting repertoire, Landry guest-starred in a 2008 episode of "Criminal Minds" (CBS, 2005- ) as a woman who is kidnapped by a brilliant serial killer (Jason Alexander). On a more lighthearted note, she also served as a commentator throughout the first season of the caught-on-tape reality show "The Smoking Gun Presents: World's Dumbest" (truTV, 2008- ) and served as a contestant on the short-lived celebrity obstacle course competition "The Superstars" (ABC, 2009). Other acting work included a co-starring role in the faith-based inspirational drama "Me Again" (2012).

Thomas Jefferson came late to the maple sugar scheme. He was an ocean away in Paris, serving as the United States’ minister to France, when a group of Quakers and Dr. Benjamin Rush collaborated in Philadelphia to promote maple sugar over cane sugar. The advantages of maple sugar were many, Rush wrote, but the clincher was its moral superiority: Cane sugar was grown by slaves, maple sugar by free Americans. His goal was “to lessen or destroy the consumption of West Indian sugar, and thus indirectly to destroy negro slavery.”
