title: Araucaria Project

text:
The Araucaria Project is an international science collaboration focused on improving the calibration of the extragalactic distance scale based on observations of major distance indicators in several nearby galaxies.

Project
The Araucaria Project is a collaboration between astronomers from institutions in Europe, Chile and the US. Its principal aim is to provide an improved calibration of the local extragalactic distance scale. In the process of setting up the extragalactic distance scale, the greatest difficulty leading to the currently largest contribution on the systematic uncertainty of the Hubble constant lies in the determination of accurate absolute distances to nearby galaxies. The principal reason for this persisting difficulty is in the unknown dependencies of stellar standard candles, used to measure the distances of nearby galaxies, on the environmental properties of their host galaxies (metallicity, age of the stellar populations etc.). The Araucaria Project is an effort to remedy this situation for several of the most important stellar candles, including Cepheid variables, RR Lyrae stars, red clump giants, and blue supergiants which all have the potential to provide accurate distance determinations to nearby galaxies once their environmental dependencies are well calibrated.

The sample of galaxies include NGC 6822, IC 1613 and NGC 3109 in the Local Group, and NGC 55, NGC 247, NGC 300 and NGC 7793 in the Sculptor Group.

Main discoveries
 The dynamical mass of a classical Cepheid variable star in an eclipsing binary system
 RR-Lyrae-type pulsations from a 0.26-solar-mass star in a binary system
 An eclipsing-binary distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud accurate to two per cent, to one per cent

The 3rd Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) was held in Pyongyang, North Korea, from 23–29 April 1956. The congress is the highest organ of the party, and is stipulated to be held every four years. 916 delegates represented the party's 1,164,945 members. The 3rd Central Committee, elected by the congress, reelected Kim Il Sung as WPK Chairman, and a number of deputy chairmen.

Background
The 17th Plenary Session of the 2nd Central Committee decided on 3 December 1955 that the 3rd Congress would be held in April 1956, two months after the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), in which de-Stalinization became the Soviet Union's official policy. Choe Yong-gon, a partisan close to Kim Il Sung, attended the 20th Congress and reported on its activities personally to Kim Il Sung when he returned. After being told of the new Soviet policy, Kim Il Sung reacted swiftly; in his first speech after the CPSU congress he told WPK members that they needed to curtail the powers of a single leader by establishing a collective leadership. Kim Il Sung went on to chastise former figures such as Pak Hon-yong and Yi Sung-yop who, he claimed, had exerted "individual heroism" and failed to follow collective leadership procedures. However, this was just talk, and no one related the discussion about collective leadership to Kim Il Sung's power concentration at the top; he held the highest party office, the WPK chairmanship, and the highest state office, as head of government. In a similar vein, Kim Il Sung did not refer to the Soviet Union's de-Stalinization policies by name and did not criticize Joseph Stalin's leadership; however, he had no problem criticizing the activities of people close to Stalin; Vyacheslav Molotov, Lazar Kaganovich, Georgy Malenkov and Nikolai Bulganin for instance.

Congress
Delegates from fraternal parties attended the congress, most notably CPSU Politburo member Leonid Brezhnev and Marshal Nie Rongzhen leading the delegation from the Chinese Communist Party. In his speech to the congress, Brezhnev congratulated the WPK on holding its 3rd Congress while telling them the new policies decided upon by the CPSU at the 20th Congress. He emphasized the importance of implementing the Leninist system of collective leadership within the party, from top to bottom, to strengthen the party. Nie Rongzhen on the other hand, congratulated the combine effort of the WPK and the Korean people in the reconstruction of the country in the aftermath of the Korean War.

Kim delivered a lengthy speech, but arguably one of the worst in his career according to Suh Dae-sook. In it, he condemned the former leaders of the domestic faction, talked at length about the economic situation, the North Korean position in international affairs and promoting the efforts of the partisans during the Japanese occupation of Korea, but he never mentioned the two most pressing subjects of the time; that of collective leadership and de-Stalinization. He claimed that the domestic faction were to blame for the failure of the Korean War, while in tandem reiterated that Koreans should read more history while continuing to claim that the partisan activities were the basis of North Korean culture and ideology. However, he went on to note that Korean nationalists such as Kim Kyu-sik and Kim Gu were patriots (he had condemned them at the 1st Congress). Yi Chong-won, one of the country's leading historians, spoke in favour of Kim Il Sung's suggestions after his speech, and claimed inaccurately that the partisans and Kim Il Sung had played the dominant role in liberating Korea from Japan. To elaborate his position even further, the Procurator General Yi Song-un told the delegates that there still existed people, who belonged to the domestic faction, who had not undergone proper self-criticism or still supported the overthrow of the existing party leadership.

Changes were made to the party's by-laws, with Pak Chong-ae presenting the changes to the congress. She told the delegates that the changes were made under influence from the 20th Congress of the CPSU. These amendments (as they were presented), were practically new by-laws. Three reasons for the amendments were given to the delegates; to facilitate the construction "of new socialism", to contribute and strengthen the party organization and change in accordance with other fraternal parties. The majority of her presentation dealt with how the new amendments would protect ordinary party members from high-standing officials; she pointed out by name the errors committed by Kim Yol and Pak Song-sam who she alleged had harassed party members. These new members were designed to protect ordinary members, however "there was little in the bylaws to substantiate such protection." In any case, by this point the party's by-laws were symbolic more than anything else, and Kim Il Sung and his partisan colleagues did not adhere to them.

According to Kim Il Sung the party had grown considerably since the 2nd Congress, having by the 3rd Congress 1,164,945 members in 58,529 cells. The party had grown despite of the Korean War (with the majority of the growth occurring after the war), with an increase from the 2nd Congress by 439,183 members and 28,496 cells. The entire WPK membership represented 10 percent of the entire North Korean population.

The confusion which stemmed from the decisions of the 20th Congress of the CPSU were felt in the election of the 3rd Central Committee. Several Soviet Koreans still held high-standing party offices, including their informal leader Pak Chang-ok (who had been criticized by name on several occasions by Kim Il Sung), while prominent members of the Yanan faction "whose revolutionary activities had been ridiculed by Kim in the past were reelected". The same can be said of the domestic communists, several of them who were reelected were close to Pak Hon-yong (who had tried to overthrow Kim Il Sung the previous year), such as Ho Song-taek and Puk Mun-gyu. Despite this, Kim Il Sung managed to get many of his closest reelected to the Central Committee; 11 full members and 6 candidate members were partisans, but more importantly, of the six highest ranked Central Committee members, four of them were partisans (Kim Il Sung, Choe Yong-gun, Kim Il and Pak Kum-chol, the other two were Kim Tu-bong and Pak Chong-ae). Only 28 members were reelected to the 3rd Central Committee, 43 were new members and only five were promoted from candidate membership to full membership. 46 candidate members were elected to the 3rd Central Committee, of these two were reelected. None of the members of the 2nd Central Auditing Committee were reelected to the 3rd Central Auditing Committee.

title: Pic de Montcalm

text:
Pic de Montcalm is a French pyrenean summit, culminating at , located in the Ariège department, Midi-Pyrénées region of France.

Topography
Located in the Ariège south of Auzat in the Vicdessos, it lies slightly north of the Franco-Spanish borderline crest.

La pique du Montcalm (Ariège appellation), la pique d'Estats and the pic du port de Sullo are the three main summits of the massif du Montcalm, the last two bordering Spain and la Pica d'Estats the highest summit in Catalonia.

The summit is located in the perimeter of the parc naturel régional des Pyrénées ariégeoises.

History
The first ascent was made on July 18, 1807 by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle along with guide Simon Faure.

Access

On the French side, three main itineraries are possible :
 by the Pinet refuge, located next to the lac du Pinet: the path (tagged red and white) is the easiest (namely downhill) and most used itinerary.
 by the Soulcem valley and the Riufret couloir: some passages are difficult going downhill. It is poorly signed.
 by the vallon de Pujol and the Pla Subra: which used to be the conventional track, used by the first Pyrenean pioneers. The route begins at the  chalet du Montcalm (also called "Refuge du Montcalm") located by the route de l'Artigue, 1 km after the hamlet of Marc. The route gradually lost its status as the normal route due to certain difficult passages, below and above the Tables du Montcalm.

On the Spanish side: by the Vall Ferrera, from the Pica d'Estats from which one can reach the Montcalm by the col de l'Estats, French side.

title: Bud Osborn

text:
Bud Osborn (4 August 1947 – 6 May 2014) was a poet, community organizer, and activist in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. Following his prolonged struggle with heroin addiction and alcohol dependency, Osborn became a founding member of the Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users and advocated for the creation of a legal supervised injection site. His poetry commented on poverty and homelessness in Vancouver.

Life
Osborn was born as Walton Homer Osborn III in Battle Creek, Michigan to Patricia Osborn (née Barnes) and Walton Homer Osborn II. He spent his childhood in a rough area of Toledo, Ohio, where a neighborhood friend nicknamed him "Bud". His father, who had been a pilot and German prisoner in World War II, was a reporter for the Toledo Blade. Walton Osborn committed suicide in jail when Bud Osborn was three years old. His mother, who also served in the US military, reportedly married seven times. At the age of four, Osborn saw her get raped by a stranger whom she brought home from a drinking establishment. He made his first suicide attempt a year later, throwing himself off the porch at his home. At 15, he attempted suicide by taking Aspirin.

Osborn got into sports, particularly basketball and running, during high school. It was there that he began to read and write poetry. He entered Ohio Northern University but dropped out after two years. He married and had a son. They moved to his wife's hometown, New York city, but the marriage failed. He started using hard drugs. In 1969 he left the U.S. and moved with his family to Toronto in order to avoid draft for the Vietnam War. His wife Julie and son Aeron later left for Oregon. He would be estranged from his son Aeron for three decades. In 1970 he published his first chapbook of poetry by the Toronto Coach House Press.

Downtown Eastside

In 1986 he moved to Vancouver with his new female partner Cuba Dwyer, who eventually moved back to the United States. They ended up in the Downtown Eastside. Osborn got arrested for stealing books to support his heroin addiction and on one occasion almost died of a drug overdose. Years later, with the help of a Roman Catholic priest he overcame his heroin and alcohol dependency. In 1997 he met Ann Livingston, with whom he had a romantic relationship, and who was involved in running an illegal supervised drug injection site. Together they founded the Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users.

In 1998 Osborn was appointed to the Vancouver/Richmond Health Board, where he advocated for legal safe injection sites, working closely with MP Libby Davies. He and Livingston organized the display of thousands of white crosses in Oppenheimer Park, representing the people who were dying in the Downtown Eastside. Insite, the only legal supervised injection site in North America, was opened in the Downtown Eastside in 2003.

After Insite was opened, Osborn shifted to opposing gentrification of the Downtown Eastside. He died on 6 May 2014 at the age of 66 after being hospitalized for pneumonia and a heart condition, and was remembered at a street memorial attended by 200 people.

title: Paranjoy Guha Thakurta

text:
Paranjoy Guha Thakurta (born 5 October 1955) is an Indian journalist, writer, publisher, documentary film maker and teacher. He has been a guest faculty member at IIM Ahmedabad for 18 consecutive years, and also taught at the IIMs at Calcutta and Shillong, the University of Delhi, Jawaharlal Nehru University, Asian College of Journalism and Jamia Millia Islamia among other educational institutions. He is the only Indian journalist referred to in the infamous Hindenburg Report on Adani.

Career
Guha Thakurta was educated at La Martiniere Calcutta, pursued his undergraduate degree in Economics from St. Stephen's College and completed his masters from Delhi School of Economics in 1977. With the Emergency of 1975-77, he decided to be a journalist over being a lecturer. In June 1977, he joined a Kolkata-based magazine as assistant editor. Through his career spanning over 45 years, he has been associated with major media houses like Business India, Businessworld, The Telegraph, India Today and The Pioneer. He also hosted the chat show India Talks on CNBC-India which ran over 1400 episodes.

In 2013, he directed a short documentary film Coal Curse which highlighted the wrongs in the Indian coal mining industry. The 45-minute film, supported by Greenpeace, delved into the political economy of coal in contemporary India with the Singrauli example serving as a case study. This was Guha Thakurta's second film on coal, the earlier one being 'Hot as hell: Why Jharia is burning', that was produced  in 2006 by the Public Service Broadcasting Trust.

His 2014 book Gas Wars: Crony Capitalism and the Ambanis, co-authored with Subir Ghosh and Jyotirmoy Chaudhuri, dealt with alleged irregularities of the prices of natural gas in the Indian market. Reliance Industries Limited, one of India's major conglomerates which is also involved in oil and gas exploration and production, sent a legal notice to Guha Thakurta and others for defamation through this book.

In 2016, he joined EPW (Economic and Political Weekly) as Editor. Following his article on how Adani Group was benefited by the government policies, a defamation notice was sent to the Sameeksha Trust and the authors of the article. Soon after that, Guha Thakurta resigned as the Editor of EPW. The article brought to light how the Government tweaked the rules which favoured a certain company within the Adani Group to the tune of Rs 500 Crores. EPW tried to reach out to Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Industry and Commerce, but no explanation was given for this policy decision. The Adani Group is headed by Gautam Adani who is understood to be close to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Guha Thakurta was appointed Editor of the Economic and Political Weekly (EPW) in January 2016 replacing C Rammanohar Reddy, who steered the prestigious journal since 2004. Guha Thakurta resigned as editor of EPW on July 18, 2017 over alleged differences with the board of the Sameeksha Trust that runs the journal.

Guha Thakurta co-authored an article  about the Adani Group's tax evasion following which Adani Power sent a legal notice to the Economic and Political Weekly. Fearing an expensive lawsuit by one of India’s biggest corporate houses EPW then decided to take down the article, prompting Paranjoy Guha Thakurta's resignation.

The Hindenburg Research report on Adani published in January 24, 2023, alleged that Adani had engaged in a number of questionable practices, including opaque accounting, environmental violations, and bribery. The report caused a significant drop in Adani's share price and led to calls for investigations into the company's activities. Paranjoy Guha Thakurta is the only Indian journalist who was referred to in the report.

Paid news
Guha Thakurta was a member of the sub-committee set up by the Press Council of India to look into the malaise of paid news. Initially, the report titled '‘Paid News: How Corruption in the Indian Media Undermines Democracy" was to be released on 26 April 2010, but it was deferred after many members of the Council raised objections. A diluted version of the report, which was released on 30 July 2010, raised a storm. A number of newspaper establishments were named as having indulged in editorial malpractices. These included Bennett, Coleman and Co (owners of The Times of India), HT Media (owners of Hindustan Times, Hindustan and Mint), Dainik Jagaran, Dainik Bhaskar, Punjab Kesari, Lokmat, Eenadu, and Sakshi group, among others.

In September 2010, the Central Information Commission (CIC)  of India directed the Council to make public the report as part of suo motu disclosure mandated under the Right to Information (RTI) Act.

Guha Thakurta has since written extensively on the issue of "paid news". In a December 2013 article for First Post, he explained why the malaise of "paid news" is a threat to democracy:

PIL on 2G case
Guha Thakurta was one of many well-known people who joined a public interest litigation in the 2G spectrum case, originally filed by the Centre for Public Interest Litigation (CPIL) led by lawyer Prashant Bhushan. He has written extensively on the scam, with the first article on the subject appearing in The Economic Times in November 2007. Soon after its publication, a legal notice was served on him by Reliance Communications.

Khuiqer was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh known only for a limestone lintel bearing part of his royal titulary, found in Abydos by Flinders Petrie at the beginning of the 20th century, and now located at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (E 17316 A-B). His datation is extremely uncertain since he was tentatively placed in both the First and the Second Intermediate Period.

Dynastic collocation
After the finding of the lintel, Petrie believed the royal name to be Uaqerre but was doubtful about his datation, and simply placed him between the Seventh and the Fourteenth Dynasties. Shortly after, Gaston Maspero attributed the mysterious king to the Sixth to the Eleventh Dynasty of Egypt range. Max Pieper more correctly read the name Khuiqer, claiming that this king should have reigned between the Thirteenth and the 18th Dynasties. Ludwig Borchardt came to the same conclusion, while in 1907 Henri Gauthier, following instead Maspero, placed him again in the First Intermediate Period. When, more recently, the German Egyptologist Detlef Franke proposed the existence of the Abydos Dynasty (a dynasty of local pharaohs who might have shortly ruled upon the Abydene territory during the Second Intermediate Period), he placed Khuiqer inside of it. Jürgen von Beckerath attributed him to the Second Intermediate Period too, following the claim that the block came from a building of Senusret I, although he admitted that Khuiqer's Horus name, Merut, seemed peculiar for this period. This Horus name was also the main topic for Kim Ryholt's attribution: he argued that Merut is too simple when compared to the Horus names of the Second Intermediate Period, which usually are composed or two or even three different words. Ryholt then suggested an earlier placement for Khuiqer, at an imprecise time during the First Intermediate Period.

title: Der Kreis

text:
(, The Circle) was a Swiss gay magazine. Founded as the lesbian magazine Freundschaftsbanner in 1932 it turned into a male-only magazine in 1942 under the name Der Kreis. It was trilingual and distributed internationally and gained significant influence in the homosexual movement at the time until it ceased publication in 1967.

History

 was first published on January 1, 1932, under the original title  (Friendship Banner) as a joint project of Laura Thoma of Zürich lesbian organization Amicitia and August Bambula of the gay men's Excentric Club Zürich. The first issue was eight pages, credited editor "Fredy-Torrero" (Laura Thoma's alias) and proclaimed two related mottos: "Through light to freedom." and "Through struggle to victory". After a short pause it returned in 1933 under the changed title Schweizerisches Freundschaftsbanner. In 1937 its name changed again to  (Human Rights)  and finally to  in 1942.

The magazine originally focused on lesbian issues and was political in nature. Lesbianism was not criminalized in Switzerland at the time, unlike male homosexuality. From 1933 to 1942 it was published under the editorial leadership of Anna Vock who initially published under her real name, and later under the pen name "Mammina". Vock and other writers came under attack from the tabloids  and  in an effort to stoke moral outrage about homosexuality, publishing Vock's home addresses and leading to a repeated loss of employment.

By 1942 most of the lesbian editorial staff had left and the magazine became exclusively focussed on gay male interests; the actor Karl Meier took over as the chief editor in 1942, using the pen name "Rolf", and renamed the magazine  (The Circle).

In 1942 the magazine's bimonthly circulation was around 200 copies, and by 1957 this had increased to 1,900, including 700 subscribers throughout Europe and the United States.  was published in multiple languages: it was originally written in German, but a French section was added in 1942 and an English section in 1954. It contained news, short stories, poems, photographs, illustrations, and reports on scientific research. Although Swiss publications were censored for much of the duration of magazine's publication, the editors of  were noted to have evaded censorship of "racier texts" in the English section since the censors were unable to read them. By and large, the magazine contained very little risqué content since Meier wanted to promote "a high-minded vision of homosexuality" that valued friendship over sex.

The magazine's leadership began to decline in the 1960s, since younger gay readers were more inclined to buy Scandinavian publications that published pornography and nude photographs, and the last issue was published in 1967.

The editors of  formed a society called , to which all readers were offered membership. The club held weekly meetings in Zürich, where readers gathered to meet other men, discuss current affairs, and listen to lectures hosted by the club; small meetings for French readers were also held in Paris.  hosted an international ball in Zürich each year which attracted hundreds of gay men from around Europe. The club disbanded in 1967 when the magazine ceased publication.

Legacy
In Hubert Kennedy's book The Ideal Gay Man, which chronicles the history of , Kennedy describes the magazine as having been "the world's most important journal promoting the legal and social rights of gay men" for much of its publication period and one of very few such journals in Europe at the time. Additionally, it remains the only gay publication to include editorial content in three languages.

In 2014, the magazine's history was documented in a Swiss docudrama film eponymously titled The Circle. The film, which features a mix of historical footage from the 1950s and dramatisations of events, won the Teddy Award and the Panorama Audience Award in the documentary category at the 64th Berlin International Film Festival.

title: Black-eyed children

text:
Black-eyed children or black-eyed kids, in American contemporary legend, are paranormal creatures that resemble children between ages 6 and 16, with pale skin and black eyes, who are reportedly seen hitchhiking or begging, or are encountered on doorsteps of residential homes.

History
While tabloid coverage of these creatures has claimed that tales of black-eyed children have existed since the 1980s, most sources indicate that the legend originated from 1996 postings written by Texas reporter Brian Bethel on a "ghost-related mailing list," relating two alleged encounters with "black-eyed kids." Bethel describes encountering two such children in Abilene, Texas in 1996, and claims that a second person had a similar, unrelated encounter in Portland, Oregon. Bethel's stories have become regarded as classic examples of creepypasta, and gained such popularity that he published a FAQ "just to keep up with demand for more info about the new urban legend." In 2012, Brian Bethel told his story on reality TV series Monsters and Mysteries in America. He wrote a follow-up article for the Abilene Reporter News, describing his experience and maintaining his belief that it was legitimate.

In 2012, the horror film Black Eyed Kids was produced with Kickstarter funding, its director commenting that the creepy children were "an urban legend that's been floating around on the Internet for years now, I always thought it was fascinating." A 2013 episode of MSN's Weekly Strange that featured reports of black-eyed children is thought to have helped spread the legend on the internet.

During one week in September 2014, the British tabloid Daily Star ran three sensationalistic front-page stories about alleged sightings of black-eyed children, connected to the sale of a supposedly haunted pub in Staffordshire. The paper claimed a "shock rise in sightings around the world".  Alleged sightings are taken seriously by ghost hunters, some of whom believe black-eyed children to be extraterrestrials, vampires, or ghosts.

Science writer Sharon A. Hill was unable to find any documentation of black-eyed child encounters, concluding that the tales are passed on as "friend of a friend" ghost stories. Hill considers the legend to resemble "typical spooky folklore stories" such as the phantom black dog, where the subject is not supernatural, and there may never have been an actual original encounter. Snopes rates tales of black-eyed children as a legend, and cites an Inquisitr article that advised readers to "(f)ile black eyed children under the same heading as 'bigfoot'. Believe it if you like, but realize that there is no evidence of their existence, just subjective testimony that ranges from reasonable to suspiciously fame-whoring".

title: Adarsh Kumar Goel

text:
Adarsh Kumar Goel (born 7 July 1953) is an Indian judge. He is Chairperson of National Green Tribunal. He is former judge of the Supreme Court of India. He is also former chief justice of the Orissa High Court and  Gauhati High Court, and a former judge of the Gauhati High Court and Punjab and Haryana High Court.

Career

Adarsh Kumar Goel received a Bachelor of Arts (Hons.) and Bachelor of Laws from Panjab University. He was enrolled as an advocate with the Bar Council of Punjab and Haryana on 16 July 1974. He practised before the High Court of Punjab and Haryana for about five years and before the Supreme Court of India and Delhi High Court for about 22 years. He was designated as senior advocate by the Supreme Court on 11 February 1999. He was elevated as judge of the Punjab and Haryana High Court on 2 July 2001. Goel was appointed executive chairman of the Haryana State Legal Services Authority on 17 May 2005. He was the acting chief justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court from 2 May 2011 until he joined as the senior most judge of the Gauhati High Court on 12 September 2011. Thereafter, he was sworn in as chief justice of the Gauhati High Court on 20 December 2011. He was then sworn in as chief justice of the Odisha High Court on 12 October 2013. Justice Goel was elevated as a judge of Supreme Court and assumed office on 7 July 2014. Thereafter, he was appointed the Chairperson of the National Green Tribunal, New Delhi.

Notable judgments
In Pradyuman Bisht vs. Union of India & Ors. case of installation of CCTV cameras in Courts, Tribunals, the Bench headed by Goel and Lalit held that by installation of CCTV cameras the objective of transparent judicial system can be achieved.

Goel initiated the idea of usage of technology in matrimonial dispute. In Krishna Veni Nigam vs. Harish Nigam, the bench was of the opinion that, “tools like video conferencing should be used in matrimonial cases where the place of adjudication is not convenient to either of the parties.” The bench further said that, "it may be appropriate that available technology of video conferencing is used where both the parties have equal difficulty and there is no place which is convenient to both the parties."

Goel's judgment on prevention of misuse of SC/ST Act in Dr. Shubhash Kashinath Mahajan vs. The State of Maharashtra, is one of the much talked about decisions. Goel along with Lalit examined the question on the inclusion of procedural safeguards so that the provisions of Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) (SC/ST) Act 1989 are not abused for extraneous considerations. The Bench held that, a Government official cannot be prosecuted on mere allegation of committing an offence under the Act without the sanction of appointing authority.

Thereafter, to cut down the backlog of cases, Goel had given a specific deadline for dealing with cases of bail application and two years time for disposing of cases dealing with serious crime. The bench in Krishnakant Tamrakar vs. The State of M.P.  asked “all high courts to issue directions to subordinate courts that all bail applications should normally be disposed of by judicial officers within one week. Magisterial trials, where accused are in custody, be normally concluded within six months and sessions trials where accused are in custody be normally concluded within two years.

Goel  in the judgment in Rajesh Sharma & Ors. vs. State of U.P. & Anr., also set forth new guidelines to prevent misuse of S.498A of IPC. While giving the guidelines, he observed that, “It is a matter of serious concern that large number of cases continues to be filed under Section 498A alleging harassment of married women. To remedy the situation, we are of the view that involvement of civil society in the aid of administration of justice can be one of the steps, apart from the investigating officers and the concerned trial courts being sensitized. It is also necessary to facilitate closure of proceedings where a genuine settlement has been reached instead of parties being required to move High Court only for that purpose”.

With a view to achieve a progressive step, Goel in his judgment in Amardeep Singh vs. Harveen Kaur, held that, “the 6 months waiting period prescribed under Section 13B(2) of Hindu Marriage Act for divorce by mutual consent is not mandatory, and can be waived under certain circumstances.

Further, in B. Sunitha vs. The State of State of Telangana he also gave his opinion and asked the government to take cognizance on the issue of introducing requisite legislative changes for a regulatory mechanism to check violation of professional ethics by Lawyers.

Chairperson of National Green Tribunal

Goel was appointed the Chairperson of the National Green Tribunal on 6 July 2018. Initially when he was appointed there were huge backlogs of cases that were pending not only with the Principal Bench but also with other Zonal Benches. Since his appointment, Goel has made all benches functional by hearing matters through video conferencing from Bhopal, Chennai, Kolkata and Pune bench.

title: Alamillo Park

text:
Alamillo Park () is a metropolitan park located between the town of Santiponce (Sevilla) and Seville, Spain. The park is scheduled to begin an expansion that will make it one of Spain's largest urban parks, reaching 120 hectares in the summer of 2013.

History

In 2009 the park opened to public. At the nursery Expo of 1992, the park became a wildlife reserve spanning an area of about 10 hectares. Consequently, a botanical collection of more than 100 different species, and a greenhouse were added.

Previously known as Alamillo, Alamillo Park  was the focus of regional government. They obtained the park in celebration of the Universal Exposition of Seville.  The park covers 85 acres of the northernmost area of Cartuja Island, an area between the old and new channels of the Guadalquivir river.

After completion, Alamillo Park will feature Mediterranean trees such as elm, pine, poplar and the endemic cork oak. It is  known for the bitter orange fragrance that fills the spring air.

Environment
The park is developed around two lakes, Lake Maggiore and Minor Lake and is fully equipped with recreational, leisure and sporting facilities. The names describe the vegetation as well as its culinary uses.

Activities
An ecological tour of the park includes the mammals, amphibians, reptiles and waterfowl that inhabit the park.

A program of cultural activities called "Summertimes Alamillo" organised by the Junta de Andalucia occupies the months of July and August. People of all ages can participate in performances, rides, theater and other activities, .

On Sunday mornings, activities including swings, biking and train rides are available.

Designed by Friends of the Railroad, visitors can enjoy the facility of Railway Alamillo, a miniature railway track traversing 127m where both children and adults can enjoy steam and electric locomotives (that actually work with coal).

Every October 12, the Big Birthday Bash is celebrated in Alamillo Park. The event includes activities such as cake tasting, performances and train tours.

A program of guided visits to this nursery is available.

The garden hosts one of the largest areas dedicated to urban gardening in the city.

Infrastructure

Plot

Suhani, a vivacious dark-skinned girl hails from a middle-class family in Allahabad and is best friends with a beautiful and slightly vain Soumya. Yuvraj Birla, a rich man falls in love with and proposes to Soumya, who mistakenly thinks Yuvraj is in love with Suhani. Soumya herself is in love with Krishna. Soumya elopes with Krishna but their marriage ends shortly after because of Soumya's mother-in-law Latika, and sister-in-law Rakhi creating discord between the couple.

On the other hand, circumstances lead to Suhani's father blackmailing Yuvraj into marrying Suhani. Suhani's marriage starts with difficulties as Yuvraj does not love her and Yuvraj's grandmother and matriarch of the family, Chandrakala hates Suhani for her dark skin and her middle-class background. A few months later, after Soumya leaves Krishna's house, Suhani invites her to come stay with the Birlas. Chandrakala and Yuvraj's sisters-in-law - Ragini and Menka - try to get Soumya and Yuvraj together. Soumya starts falling in love with Yuvraj who does not return her affections.

Chandrakala's relative Rohan falls in love with Suhani and at their wedding, Yuvraj realises his love for Suhani. Rohan steps out of the way and Suhani and Yuvraj finally unite.

Suhani's sister Bhavna is widowed and circumstances lead to her marrying Yuvraj's close friend Sharad. Bhavna and Sharad begin living with the Birlas. Chandrakala tries to create a rift between Suhani and Bhavna. A young girl saves Suhani's life and turns out to be the long-lost Gauri Birla. Suhani and Yuvraj decide to use a surrogate - Barbie who later tries to separate them and abducts Suhani. A missing Suhani is now presumed dead.

Production

Development
The show was produced by Panorama Entertainment and writer Suzana Ghai, and replaced Ek Ghar Banaunga.

Nikhil Madhok, senior vice president of marketing at Star Plus said, "With Suhaani Si Ek Ladki, we hope to further strengthen our bond with the youth. Over the last one year, Star Plus' viewership amongst all demographics has increased significantly on the back of fresh engaging content. However, progressive young women have forged a specially strong bond with us. This show will resonate with them, highlighting their dreams and aspirations and a take on love that they will find refreshing".

Speaking about her role, Rajshri Rani Jain said, "Suhani is simple, innocent, pure at heart. She finds good in everyone and loves her family but what makes her different from other characters is that she is funny, cracks jokes and does not cry. Suhani is soft-spoken but gives back to people, if they are mean to her, she sweetly tells them off." Neha Yadav stated that she took inspiration from Kareena Kapoor in Jab We Met for her role of Soumya. Sahil Mehta made his television debut with the series after his Bollywood career did not succeed.

Casting
Due to the twenty-year leap in the storyline, actor Sahil Mehta quit the show because he "[did] not want to play an old character". He later returned to the show by popular demand. Leading cast Neha Yadav and Debashree Biswas also left the show. Ankita Sharma was initially approached by the show but had to pull out due to an accident. She was replaced by Sristi Jain. After Mehta's exit, Gaurav Mukesh quit in March 2017.

title: Kilsyth Football Club

text:
The Kilsyth Football Club, nicknamed the Cougars, is an Australian rules football club based in Kilsyth, Victoria, which plays in the Eastern Football League. The club is most notable for its three-year stint in the Victorian Football Association (VFA) second division in the 1980s.

History
The Kilsyth Football Club was formed in 1910 and was affiliated with the Box Hill District Football League.
In 1913 they combined with Montrose and played on Vacant Land owned by the Salvation Army on the corner of Liverpool and Pig Lane (renamed Pavitt Lane) and again in 1922 they combined but this time it was with Bayswater.
In 1924 Kilsyth Football Club became a sole entity and purchased a former orchard on Colchester Road which is now known as Kilsyth Recreation Reserve.
From 1927 Kilsyth 'Sythers' played in the Ringwood District Football League until its demise in 1941 when it then moved to theCroydon-Ferntree Gully Football League which then became the Eastern District Football League which Kilsyth Football Club was a founding member of and played there until 1981.

Despite being a small EDFL club and having finished last in the EDFL's second division in 1981, Kilsyth joined the Victorian Football Association second division for the 1982 season as part of the VFA's restructuring and expansion in the early 1980s. The outer north-eastern suburbs were not otherwise represented in the VFA, and Kilsyth hoped that it would be able to attract some of the best local talent out of the EDFL and into its VFA team; but this never happened, and the club endured three seasons in Division 2 with very little success, finishing with a total on-field record of 9 wins and 44 losses. The club still intended to continue in the VFA in 1985, but it withdrew shortly before the season began and returned to the Eastern District Football League in 1986.

During the 1997 season the club moved from its Colchester Road ground to play its first match against Knox at Pinks Reserve.

As of 2022, the club plays in the Eastern Football League's fourth division.

Club symbols
The club's nickname is the Cougars, which is a type of big cat located in North, Central and South American Mountainous areas was the perfect fit for the Outer Eastern suburb team for its location was at the foot of the famous Mt Dandenong Ranges.
The Cougars guernsey is currently black with red sash but had previously worn different colours and types of patterned guernsey's before the World Wars, including a green with white sash and in 1922. Later that year they went back to a green guernsey but this time yellow was added.
In 1924 hard times hit and they allowed anyone with a playing guernsey to take the field as did many local sides during that era. 1925 seen the Kilsyth club adopt similar colours and design to that of Footscray.
1946 was the First time the Sythers ran out onto their home ground in the black and red and it was around this stage when they adopted the 'Red Robins' moniker. Around the late 60's it was determined that Cougars was a better fit for the club's image.
In 1983, the club reversed its colours to red with a black sash – partly because of its similarity to the guernsey of VFA Division 1 club Coburg, and partly because the VFA was discouraging its clubs from wearing the same guernsey design as Victorian Football League clubs (Kilsyth's guernsey matched Essendon's). Since 1997, the club has played home matches at Pinks Reserve in Liverpool Road; prior to that, and during its time in the VFA, the club had played at the Kilsyth Recreation Reserve in Colchester.

The building consists of a two-story central brick building constructed in 1914, with a flanking one-story brick-veneered high school building and a one-story brick-veneered auditorium, both built in 1928. The flanking buildings are designed in the Colonial Revival style with Tuscan order porticos. A two-story Tuscan order portico was added to the entrance of the 1914 building in 1928. A contributing one-story frame potato house was built in the 1930s to help local farmers preserve their crops.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.

Gray Court-Owings is the home of the Tigers who participate in both junior high (7th and 8th grade) football and basketball in the Laurens District 55 school district.
