Smartphone cameras can be fantastic, making it easy to fix images on the fly, edit or filter them and then share them with others. The one thing that they really can't do well is zoom. Sure, you can zoom in on something digitally but the results tend to be poor and grainy... and smartphones tend to have pretty poor flash capabilities too. On the other hand, digital cameras can do a lot of clever things with zoom lenses and usually have bigger sensors leading to better images, but the software tends to be limited and often rather difficult to use.
So instead of trying to choose… why not have both? The Samsung Galaxy Camera (announced in August 2012) tried to do just that. Essentially, one side was a Samsung Galaxy S III and the other side was a compact Samsung digital camera with a 16 megapixel camera with a 21X zoom lens with a big 23mm aperture on it, all designed to give superior pictures over a smartphone.
Surely Samsung would be on to a winner with this? Well, there were a couple of problems. Firstly, this was a bulky device at more than 300 grams in weight and about 35mm thick where the lens was. So, a bit big for a phone… but apparently it was a bit so-so as a camera as well.
Despite the unique charms of the device, it never really sold well. However, Samsung stuck with the idea and launched the smaller Galaxy S4 Zoom and the high-end Galaxy NX in 2013, and both the Galaxy Camera 2 (without any cellular connectivity) and the phone-based Galaxy K Zoom in 2014. Other manufacturers tried the same thing, for example the Panasonic Lumix Smart Camera CM1. All met with similarly cool responses from consumers.
If you don't mind being stuck with Android 4 then you can pick one of these interesting devices up for a typical price of around €160. There's not currently anything quite like it on the market, so if you are prepared to put up with its limitations then it could still be fun.

Vice-president Kwesi Amissah-Arthur has asked faith-based organisations to support the government with prayers as it strives to overcome the economic difficulties confronting the nation.
He said what the government required from the citizenry were prayers and encouragement to enable it to do the best it could for the growth and development of the country.
Addressing the opening ceremony of the 18th annual synod of the Tema Diocese of the Methodist Church at New Ningo in the Ningo-Prampram District in the Greater Accra Region yesterday, Mr Amissah-Arthur said Ghana had a great future and that required all to be encouraged to participate in its forward match.
The synod is on the theme: "Holistic Spirituality: the Power of Prayer and Revival in the Qualitative and Quantitative Growth of the Church".
It brought together Christians from the Methodist faith within the Greater Accra Region and other parts of the country.
"Your prayers will encourage those of us in charge of managing the country to do what is right in the sight of God and in the interest of our people," the Vice-President told the gathering.
Describing the synod as very important in the life of the Methodist Church, he said that the event allowed the church to review its past and plan for the future, adding that the church provided the best influence for moral training and civil responsibility for the people.
Mr Amissah-Arthur said the involvement of the Methodist Church in the educational and health sectors of the country was phenomenal and necessitated a closer relationship between the church and the state.
Quoting from 1 Thessalonians to buttress his point of encouraging one another, he asked all to contribute in paying off the debt the Methodist Church currently owed to enable it to continue providing the services it rendered to the citizenry.
The Vice-President expressed concern over the spate of immorality in the system and highlighted the need to admonish the "disorderly", quoting 1 Thessalonians 5:14, which he said "requires us to admonish the disorderly and support the weak".
He urged the Methodist Church to continue rendering services in the educational and health sectors to complement the government's efforts.
The Methodist Bishop of Tema, The Rt Rev. Thomas B. Forson, had earlier, in his address, catalogued a number of projects the church was undertaking in some parts of the Greater Accra Region.
He advised the church members on the theme for the occasion and said the church grew qualitatively when its members matured spiritually in their worship, service, fellowship and other commitments.
His address touched on a wide range of issues, including the need for revival.
The clergyman called on the membership of the church to pray with one accord for results.
The Chief of New Ningo, Nene Tei Djangmah, commended the Methodist Church for its philanthropic activities, particularly in deprived communities.


SuperKids Software Review of Jump Start First Grade.
Jump Start First Grade is a comprehensive program that integrates basic 1st-Grade curriculum into amusing, age-appropriate activities.
Frankie, the Jump Start Mascot, leads the user on a tour of an interactive school, where learning and fun occur in tandem. The first stop on the tour is the 1st-Grade classroom. Here Mrs. Flores teaches the early fundamentals in the most creative of ways, and students uncover delightful surprises with every click. Activities abound, and each successfully completed attempt wins points which can eventually be redeemed for 'milk cap' (remember POGS?) rewards.
Students visit the Jump Start 'Reading is Fun-damental' Library, which includes eight original storybooks with over 200 pages and illustrations, tackle the 'Tick Tock Game', where hours and minutes correlate to movement on a gameboard, or appreciate 'Music in the Mouse Hole' which features a note-able mouse orchestra. Also included in this room are a simple paint program, and a very average concentration game.
Venturing out of the classroom, 1st graders hit the Lunchroom, the domain of portly Ms. Pickles. Here they flex their math muscles using appropriate coins to purchase food from the vending machines, identifying fractions as they serve ravenous students in the food line, and practicing addition skills as they check out students on the virtual cash register. In the Kitchen they become food preparers, carefully adding ingredients to the baking machine to create culinary delicacies or studiously reading and filling pizza orders.
On the Playground kids uncover Frankie's buried bones with the 'detect-o-matic', or test their knowledge and skill in math marbles and milk caps.
Other program highlights include two field trip locations, and seven sing and learn songs.
Jump Start 1st Grade addresses: reading, vowel sounds, story comprehension, telling time, addition and subtraction, simple fractions, counting money, units of measure, arts and creativity, music composition, science, ecology and geography. Math activities, in particular those involving fractions and units of measure, do an excellent job of illustrating and teaching the concepts.
Students' progress is individually tracked in the Progress Report on Mrs. Flores' desk. It shows success rate for each educational topic and also serves as a direct link to modules, games or puzzles that include skills used in that area.
Although three levels of play exist in many of the modules, the program's Adaptive Learning Technology allows it to monitor each user's progress and adjust itself accordingly.
There are plenty of cute ideas and unique teaching approaches in this program, unfortunately some of them are poorly executed. Reward animations lack variety, repeating themselves over and over and quickly becoming tedious. Kids begin to lose interest in the game altogether. This is especially true in timed activities. Our testers didn't want to repeatedly watch kids gobble food off their plates--they wanted to move on to fill the next plate and win more points.
Our kid testers also complained that the 100 points needed to earn one milk cap was excessive. Ideally this delayed gratification should make students spend more time with the program, however many of our testers found the goal so distant it caused their motivation to wane.
Jump Start 1st Grade installs easily on Windows 95.


After three months with a nary a new record in sight (Promo cut Caught Up hit our front page in late December.), Adrian Marcel fans in the Booth are likely beginning to experience withdrawals. Which is one hell of a coincidence; as the L7/Universal Republic signee reveals on his first feature of the new year, he's been in an analogous situation with regard to a certain woman. On the freshly-released lead single off his forthcoming mixtape, St. Nick's slow-burning electronic boardwork sets the mood as the Oakland crooner addresses a girl who's been on his mind ever since she walked out of his life. Remote as the possibility may seem, he can't help but for her return. For this heartbroken single and much more (including boardwork by such notable producers as J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League and 1500 Or Nothing), check out Raphael Saadiq Presents: 7 Days of Weak, out now.

Meet our 2017 Officer of the Year
Detective Samuel Cooper named FPPD Officer of the Year
Fort Pierce Police Detective Samuel Cooper has never lost his focus on what he wanted to do for a living, where he is headed in his career, or what he needs to do each day as he investigates robberies, shootings, rip offs and homicides throughout the city.
He became a police officer eight years ago, specifically choosing Fort Pierce because he wanted to be "where the action is," he says, and he knew Fort Pierce was a place where no two days would ever be the same. He wanted to experience all aspects of police work while working with people from many walks of life.
While Fort Pierce has just 48,000 residents, it is a diverse city with a mix of people from many nations, income levels and lifestyles, and with neighborhoods that are urban, rural, beachfront, suburban, industrial and commercial. And that means a detective in Fort Pierce must sort through a limitless variety of crimes, people and circumstances to be effective as an investigator.
Detective Cooper says he feels a sense of satisfaction knowing he plays a role in lowering the city's crime rate, making the community safer and getting the bad people off the streets, even though it means he sometimes has to deal with tragic and emotional situations. As an example, he cites a shooting he investigated in 2015 with his fellow detectives, leading to the conviction of two suspects who shot a woman in a parking lot. The shooters used their car to block the woman's car from leaving the area as they opened fire on the victim.
He said it was personally rewarding for him to see the case through to the end and get the convictions of two dangerous people — it's what he likes best about being a detective. He said he enjoyed being a patrol officer earlier in his career, but often he would respond to calls, help victims and uncover clues, but never get to hear the outcome of the case after leaving the scene for the next call.
Another thing he likes about being a detective is the excellent crew he works with in the department's Criminal Investigation Division (CID). Detective Cooper says he can rely on the knowledge and assistance of his fellow detectives, who share their expertise with him as they help each other consider all aspects of a case.
"They are supportive, and together we always go 110 percent when we get a case," Detective Cooper said.
His supervisor, Lieutenant William Hall is especially impressed with Detective Cooper's ability to uncover information from a variety of sources. "His research skills are phenomenal and he really knows his job," Lieutenant Hall said. "He's a methodical investigator with great computer skills and an ability to match up names, find phone numbers and dig deep for the information we need."
Lieutenant Hall said Detective Cooper has become a leader in the CID, training new detectives who are now doing really well as investigators. "He is passing on his knowledge, and that is a big benefit for the Fort Pierce Police Department and for our community," Lieutenant Hall said.
On a recent homicide, Detective Cooper's research skills were a great asset for the investigative team because he was able to sort through phone logs and determine who was associating with the victim in the weeks before his death. That information led to a suspect and eventually to an arrest.
And on a recent case involving the hacking of a social media account, Detective Cooper wisely recruited the assistance of an equally technology-savvy patrol officer to determine how the hack was accomplished. As a result, they were able to instruct several local public agencies on how to better secure their social media accounts from attack.
"He's a first-class detective and I hope to develop more just like him," Lieutenant Hall said.
Unfortunately, good detective work alone is not always all that's needed to resolve cases and get criminals off the streets, Detective Cooper says. He wishes more citizens would come forward with information needed to identify offenders, though he understands why some people are afraid to help out.
"I would tell them not to be so apprehensive about talking to us," he said. "When we solve a crime, 90 percent of the time it's because a citizen has helped us, and we need more of that. We really appreciate the people who are trying to make the community a better place."
For his future, Detective Cooper said there is still more in police work he wants to accomplish. He would like to move up the ranks in the coming years, focusing more on managing people, resources and issues, even though it means he may have to leave his position as a detective to do it.
When he does move up, he will continue to give 110 percent, he said, and he will remain true to his commitment to experience all aspects of police work while serving the people of Fort Pierce.
And because of his steady, focused and skilled approach to his job, the Fort Pierce Police Department is proud to call Detective Sam Cooper "Officer of the Year."

Q: Why does 1000BASE-T use CAT5? I read in some articles that CAT5 is used in 1000BASE-T and supports up to 100 Mbps, however, 1000BASE-T operates at 1000 Mbps. Does using CAT5e make more sense?

A: Summary
IEEE 802.3ab / 1000BASE-T was explicitly designed to provide 1000Mbps over 100 meters of Category 5 cabling, which had a large installed base at the time.
However, after 802.3ab was ratified (in Jun 1999), they found that the Category 5 specifications were not tight enough to guarantee this under all circumstances. To rectify this, in 2000 a revision to the cabling specification called Category 5e was introduced in ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A-5 to tighten those guarantees.
Despite not being guaranteed, most existing Category 5 cables already met the required performance, and 1000BASE-T should work fine over it. When you have the choice, you should prefer Category 5e over Category 5. Category 5 hasn't been available new for almost two decades anyway.
Sources
This Fluke article has a lot of useful details. Some choice quotes:

This article is intended to clarify the physical layer requirements for Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) over balanced twisted pair cabling. The IEEE802.3ab standard for Gigabit Ethernet over balance twisted pair cabling was approved in June 28, 1999. This is important to note, since category 5e was not approved until January 2000 as ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A-5. This would suggest that Gigabit Ethernet may not require category 5e performance. (You should install category 5e as a minimum today)

...

For example, the Intel 82544EI and 82544GC Gigabit Ethernet Controllers were specifically designed to run over the installed base of category 5.
BUT, vendors such as Intel required further information that was not initially available. To make it work, the IEEE needed to split the 1000 Mb/s into four paths, one for each of the four pairs. What caused the headache was that each pair would transmit and received at the same time full duplex. This meant that some new important test parameters had to be defined. Problem was that these were unknown for the installed base of category 5.

...

The IEEE turned to the TIA (Telecommunications Industry Association) and its members for help. The TIA was asked to come up with a set of limit lines for these missing parameters that would represent the majority of the installed base of category 5 cabling (>85 %). The IEEE would then work around these figures.

...

... an addendum to the existing ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A was required. This came in the form of addendum 5 and the introduction of category 5e. Cabling components had improved since the introduction of category 5 in 1995.

The IEEE 802.3ab page is a bit less explicit, but its title clearly says Category 5:

Physical Layer Parameters and Specifications for 1000 Mb/s Operation over 4 pair of Category 5 Balanced Copper Cabling, Type 1000BASE-T

These IEEE slides from Colin Mick et al explicitly mention targeting the existing Category 5 installed base:

Page 5, Target Market

*

*70% of installed UTP is CAT 5

Page 7, Objectives

*

*Support operation over 100 meters of Category 5 balanced cabling

Back to the question

Why does 1000BASE-T use CAT5?

Because that's what was in widespread use when 1000BASE-T was designed.

I read in some articles that CAT5 is used in 1000BASE-T and supports up to 100 Mbps, however, 1000BASE-T operates at 1000 Mbps.

Those articles would be wrong then; 1000BASE-T is 1000Mbps, period. Network controllers may fall back to 100BASE-TX if a 1000BASE-T link can't be established though, perhaps that's what they meant. However, it's likely 1000BASE-T will just work over a Category 5 installation.

Does using CAT5e make more sense?

Absolutely, because only Category 5e is guaranteed to meet the required specifications. Category 5 isn't, quite.
That being said:

*

*1000BASE-T was introduced when only Category 5 was available

*Category 5e specifications are such that at least 85% of existing Category 5 cabling qualified

*With runs significantly shorter than 100 meters, even Category 5 cables that don't qualify may very well be able to support 1000BASE-T. I've seen people run 1000BASE-T over short-ish runs of Category 3, and that seemed to work...

So yeah, if you have the choice, absolutely prefer 5e, or better. But if you have an existing Category 5 installation, 1000BASE-T is likely to work fine on that.

Хроники Корнелиуса Портмана стали известны в 1964 году, когда индонезийский исследователь Мангараджа Онганг Парлиндунган () в ходе работы над монографией об исламизации Суматры и роли в ней подвижника , обнаружил в государственном архиве Гааги копию доклада, из которой явствовало, что в 1928 году власти Нидерландской Индии поручили голландскому чиновнику Корнелиусу Портману, занимавшему высокий пост в колониальной администрации, изучить положение и роль китайцев в Индонезии накануне вторжения в неё европейцев. Выбор Портмана был отнюдь не случайным. Он владел несколькими языками Индонезии, был хорошо знаком с китайским языком. В поисках необходимых для исследования материалов Портман в 1928 году изъял из основанного в 1411 году китайского храма в Семаранге, носящего имя известного в прошлом китайского флотоводца Чжэн Хэ, большое количество написанных по-китайски документов. В их числе находилась и хроника храма Чжэн Хэ. На основе изучения хроники, а также анализа известных средневековых яванских источников «» и «Серат Канда» Портман составил секретный доклад, снабдив его, в виде приложения, переводом хроники. Доклад был напечатан в пяти экземплярах и направлен премьер-министра Нидерландов, генерал-губернатора Нидерландской Индии и министра колоний Нидерландов. Четвертый экземпляр Портман оставил у себя, а пятый отправил в государственный архив. Содержание храмовой хроники Парлиндунган изложил в своей книге. Содержание же доклада Портмана остаётся неизвестным.

Важность хроник заключалась в том, что согласно сведениям в них , Чжэн Хэ во время его семи знаменитых путешествий между 1402 и 1433 гг. , основал на Яве сеть китайских мусульманских торговых общин ханафитов, которые коллективно спровоцировали обращение этого острова в ислам. что индийские и / или ближневосточные миссионеры несут основную ответственность за подстрекательство к обращению в Приморье Юго-Восточной Азии. В 1475 г., согласно китайской хронике из Семаранга, Ван >эй-хоу назначил энергичного  (китайское имя — Цзинь Вэнь Цзинь Мэня) главой «неуправляемой» территории к востоку от Семаранга. Тем самым было заложена основа для султаната Демак. Это противоречило ранее устоявшейся традиции, которая вела исламизацию Индонезии от индийских радж, по версии Хроники Портмана первое мусульманского образование на территории Индониизии было обязано своим появлением китайского флоту Чжэн Хэ.

В 1974 году советский исследователь П. М. Мовчанюк писал о хрониках Портмана как о вполне реальных документах, по состоянию на 2022 год у исследователей существуют большие сомнения в достоверности существования как хроник Портмана, так и самого Портмана.

Исторический контекст
В феврале 1958 года недовольство централистской и коммунистической политикой администрации Сукарно спровоцировало восстание, сосредоточенное в районе Минангкабау на Суматре, населённую одноимённым народом, в ходе которого повстанцы провозгласили Революционное правительство Республики Индонезия (PRRI) в Букиттингги. Индонезийские военные вторглись в Западную Суматру в апреле 1958 года и в течение следующего месяца отбили крупные города. Последовал период партизанской войны, но к августу 1961 года большинство повстанцев сдались. В последующие годы Западная Суматра была похожа на оккупированную территорию, где яванские чиновники занимали самые высокие гражданские, военные и полицейские должности.

К середине 1961 года патриотизм минангкабау был подорван. Повстанцы и сторонники «Революционного правительства», чья трехлетняя борьба против национального государства, были разбиты. Представители минангкабау бежали из Западной Суматры в Джакарту и Медан. Потеряв надежду на национальную независимость, они пытались ассимилироваться с яванским населением и давали детям яванские имена.

Книга Парлиндунгана и появление хроник
В 1964 году минангкабауский историк Мангараджа Онгганг Парлиндунган опубликовал книгу под названием «Туанку Рао», в которой ставил перед собой целью развенчать исторические мифы, в которые уверовали его браться из Минангкабау. Книга в качестве приложения содержала отредактированную версию двух предположительно перанаканских (китайско-малайских) яванских рукописей. Парлиндунган утверждал, что оригинальные рукописи, на которых основывались его отредактированные версии, были найдены в 1928 году в двух индонезийских китайских храмах, один в Семаранге, а другой в Чиребоне. Они были обнаружены голландским колониальным чиновником по имени «резидент Портман». Парлиндунган утверждал, что Портман впоследствии увез оба текста обратно в Нидерланды. Сам Парлиндунган впервые познакомился с копиями текстов еще в 1937 году, когда студентом познакомился с Портманом. Два эти парлиндунганских текста получили название «Кроника Тионхуа Семаранг» («Китайская хроника Семаранга») и «Кроника Тионхуа Чиребон» («Китайская хроника Чиребона»).

В «Китайской хронике Семаранга» описывается процесс, в результате которого китайская община на Яве утратила свою мусульманскую идентичность, якобы, из-за своей изоляции от Китая. После ухода Чжэн Хэ из региона в начале 1430-х годов, за которым последовал запрет Китая на международную торговлю, который продлился до 1567 года, оставшаяся китайская мусульманская община на Яве не имела возможности контактировать со своей метрополией. В этих обстоятельствах произошла потеря их китайской идентичности, сопровождаемая аккультурацией. Однако по мнению американского исследователя, маловероятно, чтобы эта ситуация привела к упадку исламской идентичности: во второй половине XV и начале XVI веков (когда должен был произойти упадок) Ява переживала быструю исламизацию и исламская культура здесь процветала. Существовали самые широкие возможности для укрепления и укрупления мусульманской общины. Вопреки утверждению китайской хроникой Семаранга, утверждающей, что потеря мусульманской идентичности этой общиной была компенсирована за счет принятия китайских обычаев (то есть мечети превращались в храмы предков), переход к китайским обычаям — по сути, форма китаизации — означал бы более тесную связь с Китаем, которой как раз и не было по объективным причинам.

Такие же проблемы существуют и с так называемой «Китайской хроника Чиребона», которая описывает историю мусульманского храма в Чиребоне, которые впоследствии был превращён в храм предков в китайской традиции.

Church of St. Bartholomew
RH20 1
Egdean, (pronounced Egg-deen) is a tiny village in the Chichester district of West Sussex, England. It lies just off the A283 road 1.7 miles (2.8 km) southeast of Petworth. It is in the civil parish of Fittleworth
In earlier centuries a horse fair was held at Egdean. It was one of the last occasions on which the 3rd Earl of Egremont was seen out in public before he died in 1837.[1] The earl gave a £20 prize for the best three-year-old colt or filly.[2]
The Anglican church of St Bartholomew, dating from the 16th century, is in regular use.[3]

text:
Une inéquation est une question, sous forme d'une inégalité entre deux quantités algébriques. Cette inégalité contient des inconnues. Résoudre une inéquation, c'est trouver les valeurs de ces inconnues qui rendent vraie l'inégalité.

Il faut évidemment que le symbole < ou ≤ ait un sens. Il est donc nécessaire, en mathématiques élémentaires, que les inconnues appartiennent à l'ensemble des nombres réels ou à une de ses parties. En particulier, il est impossible de travailler dans l'ensemble des nombres complexes.

Exemples :

Règles opératoires
La résolution des inéquations va demander la connaissance de quelques règles opératoires s'apparentant à celles déjà évoquées pour la résolution des équations mais avec de subtiles et fondamentales différences :
1. Transitivité de l'inégalité
 Si  et  alors  (propriétés valables pour deux inégalités de même nature : deux inégalités «  », ou deux inégalités «  » ou deux inégalités «  » ou deux inégalités «  »
2. On peut ajouter un même nombre aux deux membres d'une inégalité sans en changer la nature.
 Si  alors
3. On peut soustraire un même nombre aux deux membres d'une inégalité sans en changer la nature.
 Si  alors
4. On peut multiplier par un même nombre strictement positif (donc différent de 0) les deux membres d'une inégalité sans en changer la nature.
 Si  et si  alors
 Si on multiplie par un nombre strictement négatif (donc différent de 0), l'inégalité change de sens
 Si  et si  alors
5. On peut diviser par un même nombre strictement positif (donc différent de 0) les deux membres d'une inégalité sans en changer la nature.
 Si  et si  alors
 Si on divise par un nombre strictement négatif (donc différent de 0), l'inégalité change de sens
 Si  et si  alors

À ces quelques règles, on ajoutera les quatre règles suivantes :
 L'inégalité est compatible avec l'addition, c'est-à-dire que l'on peut additionner membre à membre deux inégalités de même nature
 Si  et  alors
 Mais on ne peut pas soustraire membre à membre deux inégalités de même sens (car une soustraction est une addition de l'opposé et la prise de l'opposé change le sens de l'inégalité).
 L'inégalité est compatible avec la multiplication seulement pour des nombres positifs, c'est-à-dire que l'on peut multiplier membre à membre deux inégalités constituées de nombres positifs entre deux inégalités de même sens
 Si  et  alors
 La prise de l'opposé ou celle de l'inverse (pour des nombres de même signe) est une fonction décroissante, c'est-à-dire qu'elle change le sens de l'inégalité.
 Si  alors
 Si  alors
 Si  alors
 L'image par une fonction monotone :
 Si  et f fonction croissante alors
 Si  et f fonction décroissante alors
 La règle des signes : le produit de deux quantités de même signe est positif, le produit de deux quantités de signes opposés est négatif.

Collaborative beamforming in ad hoc networks

High Meadows Environmental Institute
The performance of collaborative beamforming is analyzed using the theory of random arrays. The statistical average and distribution of the beampatterns of randomly generated phased arrays are derived in the framework of wireless ad hoc sensor networks. Each sensor node is assumed to have a single isotropic antenna and nodes in the cluster collaboratively transmit the signal such that the signal in the target direction is coherently added in the far-field region. The distribution of the maximum beampattern sidelobe is also analyzed and a closed-form bound is derived based on the Gaussian approximation method.

E-FILING SYSTEM FOR PF RETURNS, CHALLANS LAUNCHED
Employers can now file provident fund returns online from anywhere, anytime. With the formal
launch of the e-challan-cum-return (ECR) system, the employers need not visit EPFO offices to file
various monthly and annual paper returns.
SLEEPING PARTNER NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR FIRM'S VIOLATIONS: COURT
A partner who is not in charge of the day-to-day affairs of running the firm and who is merely a
sleeping partner should not be harassed for non- compliance with law.This was the Delhi High Court verdict in a petition filed by Mr. Dharampal Gulati, the octo generation brand ambassador of MDH, whose 'Kitchen King' was sent for analysis under the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act. Following this, a case was filed against the firm and the petitioner. The High Court, after going through
the partnership deed, agreed with the petitioner that he was only a sleeping partner and, hence, ought
not to be disturbed. Hence, the proceedings against the petitioner, a sleeping partner in the firm, were quashed.
BOUNCED CHEQUE CAN LEAD TO 2 CHARGES
Issuing a cheque which is dishonoured by a bank can lead to two separate criminal proceedings,
one under Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act and another for cheating or breach of trust
under the Indian Penal Code. The Supreme Court stated that they can precede independently of
each other, in the case, Sangeeta Ben vs. State of Gujarat. In this case, the person who issues
the case was convicted and later acquitted under the cheque law. However, there was another case
for cheating. The accused moved the Gujarat high court arguing that she cannot be tried again on
the same offence as it would amount to abuse of process of law. The high court dismissed the
petition and allowed the cheating case to proceed. Counter appeal to the Supreme Court was also
TRAI MAKES PER-SECOND PHONE BILLING MANDATORY
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has made it mandatory for operators to
offer at least one tariff plan based on per-second billing. Operators are free to offer up to 25 tariff plans but at least one should be on per-second pulse.
PROSECUTING DIRECTOR IN CHEQUE BOUNCING CASE, WITHOUT ARRAIGNING THE ISSUER-COMPANY, IS UNJUSTIFIED
The Supreme Court has held that In case of dishonour of cheques issued by the company, prosecution under section 141 of the Negotiable Instrument Act, 1882 against directors (vicarious liability) is possible subject to arraigning of company as an accused. If directors are prosecuted without arraigning of company as an accused, prosecution order against directors is liable to be quashed. However, directors can be proceeded against with or without arraigning company as an accused where company cannot be arraigned as accused due to some legal impediment which attracts "lex
non cogit ad impossiblia" rule (law does not recognize that which is impossible).
RBI REVIEWS GUIDELINES ON EXTERNAL COMMERCIAL BORROWINGS (ECBs)
Civil Aviation Sector
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has decided to allow External Commercial Borrowings
(ECBs) for working capital as a permissible end-use for the civil aviation sector, under
the approval route, subject to some conditions.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has decided that the borrowers desirous of refinancing an
existing External Commercial Borrowings (ECBs) can raise fresh External Commercial
Borrowings (ECBs) at a higher all-in-cost/ reschedule an existing External Commercial
Borrowings (ECBs) at a higher all-in-cost under the approval route subject to the condition that the enhanced all-in-cost does not exceed the all-in-cost ceiling prescribed as per the extant guidelines.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has decided that Indian companies in the power sector will be allowed to utilise 40 % of the fresh External Commercial Borrowings (ECBs) raised towards refinancing of the rupee loan/ s availed by them from the domestic banking system, under the approval route, subject to the condition that at least 60 % of the fresh External Commercial Borrowings (ECBs) to be raised should be utilised for fresh capital Expenditure for infrastructure project(s).
Maintenance and operation for Toll systems for Road and highways
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has decided that External Commercial Borrowings (ECBs)
would also be allowed for Capital Expenditure under the automatic route for the maintenance

GUIDELINES ON CREDIT DEFAULT SWAPS (CDS) FOR CORPORATE BONDS
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has decided to permit all India financial institutions, namely, Export Bank of India (EXIM), National Bank for agriculture and rural Development (NABARAD),
National Housing Bank (NHB) and Small industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) to participate in the Credit Default Swaps (CDS) Market as user to hedge the underlying credit risk in corporate bonds in their portfolio.
The Mumbai ITAT bench held that processing charges paid by assessee for availing a bridge loan from a bank is part of interest as provided in section 24 and, therefore, is an allowable expenditure.
The Delhi High Court has held that section 50 of Act is applicable only in respect of sale of a capital assets forming part of a block of asset in respect of which depreciation has been allowed. As no rate
of depreciation has ever been prescribed for land, it does not form part of 'block of assets'. Thus, the deeming provisions of section 50 are not applicable in case of transfer of land (even if sold along with depreciable building). The surplus of sale price over indexed cost of acquisition would be taxable as long term capital gain if it is held for more than 36 months
SECTION 194C
The Delhi High Court has held that the contract envisaged by the section 194C would be one under which one person merely renders certain services to the other person for consideration. It would not be possible to view the franchisee agreement as a contract for carrying out any work by the franchisee. The franchisee arrangement consists of mutual obligations and rights. The essence of such contract is one under which the trade name or reputation or know how belonging to the assessee is permitted to be made use of by the franchisees in different places for a monetary consideration.
Therefore, in case of franchisee arrangements, there would not be any obligation to deduction tax under section 194C
The Delhi High Court has held that it will not be appropriate to exclude or include any day of the holding for the purpose of computing the period of holding. The date on which the asset is acquired is not to be excluded because the holding starts from the said date. Neither is the date of sale/
transfer to be excluded. Thus, if an asset is held for 12 months/36 months and is sold the very next day after the period of 12/36 months is over, the asset would be treated as a long term capital asset.
Further, there is nothing in the said section to show and hold that the time period would not include fraction of a day
The Mumbai ITAT bench held that In case interest-free loan is given to the non-resident associated enterprise, the provisions of transfer pricing regime shall be applied and the notional interest on such
loan shall be taxable in the hands of the lender.
SECTION 50C
The Allahabad High Court held that Section 50C not applicable to sale of plots by a builder since plots are his stock-in-trade and not capital assets
SECTION 17(2)

SECTION 271(1)(c)
The Mumbai ITAT bench held that no penalty u/s 271(1)(c) on the ground that judicial decisions favourable to assessee were not available as on date of filing return and were pronounced later on.
SECTION 80-IA
The Hyderabad ITAT bench held that for purpose of allowing deduction under section 80-IA, it is not necessary that assessee should be owner of infrastructure facility.

of the return filed electronically through speed post to the department's central processing centre

GAINS ON SALE OF COMPULSORY CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES TAXABLE AS INTEREST: AAR
Gains made by a Mauritius company by selling compulsory convertible debentures (CCDs) to an
Indian company are taxable as interest in India.
Taking this stand, the Authority for Advance Rulings (AAR) has said that any gains made by
selling such instruments will not be eligible for capital gains exemption under the India-Mauritius
tax treaty. Simply put, withholding tax obligations would arise on the Indian company making the
payment as consideration for the compulsory convertible debentures (CCDs). According to the experts, the Authority's decision is in line with the rulings of the Supreme Court and High Courts that compulsory convertible debentures (CCDs) are basically debt instruments. By this ruling, the Authority for advance rulings (AAR) has rejected the contention of an applicant that sale of compulsory convertible debentures (CCDs) is sale of assets and the premium received is not interest income, but capital gains.

INDIAN ECONOMY LOOKING FOR DIRECTION FOR INDIA TO SHINE AGAIN
The Indian economy is in the threshold of a big leap towards India shining once again, but the main stumbling block being a sense of confusion about government policies, scarcity of low cost adequate money for funding further investments and most importantly India Inc. awaiting for specific policy decisions and creative actions in the areas which has been adversely impacted due to lack of policy initiative.
It has been observed that economy of Brazil is growing leaps and bounds in last 2 years and the growth rates have moved up substantially in the year 2011 and further in the current year. Even China has regained its momentum of growth. If Brazil and China can grow, there is no reason why India cannot grow that fast. It may be very important for the Government of India to confidently move and take policy initiatives in respect of the following :
Income Tax Department should be advised by the Government to not to play their aggressive role of collection of taxes. As a ruling government, it is the responsibility of the government to ensure that the tax collection is done in a manner that does not create apprehension in the mind of tax payers. The spree of over enthusiastic tax proposals have to be shelved once for all. The Government of India needs to restrain from a spree to collect too much taxes, thereby impacting the growth itself. In the words of legendry statesman, Chanakaya "A king has no right to collect more than 1/6th of the income as tax and the people (subject) are free not to pay taxes in case the state try to levy taxes beyond this limit."
Availability of low cost adequate fund for real estate sector, infrastructure sector, power sector as well as all other businesses and service sector is a must. The policy rates are needed to be reduced by at least 3% to 4% over a period of 6 months to a year in a pre announced structured plan, to provide confidence to the investors about the intentions of the government. The recent initiative of 0.5% reduction in Repo rate is only a good beginning.
The Power Sector is suffering from the absence of coal linkages, a proper and transparent power purchase policy and empowerment of creation of a large private sector set up for distribution and trading of power, in addition to existing State Government framework.
The issues in respect of Foreign Direct Investment are not very crucial at this stage as the government has already substantially liberalized this area. FDI in real estate, even by NRIs need to be regulated more strictly.
It is important to give confidence to foreign investor of a fair play by the government. Our government is actually fair but the messages get transmitted internationally is in the wrong direction, in the absence of appropriate structured communication from the government.
The government need to give confidence to the business community that it means business and is committed to provide all necessary support and facilities to the businesses to grow including micro and small businesses as well as mid size and large corporate. The businesses are in fact looking for an appropriate commitment in this regard which should be seen to be getting converted into action with appropriate communication.
It is important to improve the investment climate, so that the entrepreneurial initiatives can attract adequate investment and the lack of investors' confidence currently prevailing in the stock market is to be addressed effectively by bringing in regulatory changes.
It is important for the government to consider mandatory valuation of IPO or FPO, independent monitoring of application fund raised from the market and to impose mandatory dilution of the promoters holding, in case the share prices goes down by more than 25% in the 1st year itself, by making compulsory additional allotment in favour of public investors so as to compensate them for wrong pricing determined by the management, on the basis of 52 weeks average prices.
There are several other areas which may require action and the aforesaid list is only an indicative of major thrust areas. Mr. Prime Minister we look forward for a concrete action initiative at your end. It is already very late but not too late.

Tragic bond
Medford Lakes soldier dies in training accident, 15 years after his father died in military accident
Marion Callahan
mcallahan@couriertimes.com
MEDFORD LAKES — Nicholas DiMona wore his love for his father on his body and in his heart.
A tattoo of praying hands, with the date his father died in an Apache helicopter crash during military training in 2004, symbolized the bond. So too did his choice to serve his country, his grandparents said Tuesday.
"As a child he would walk around in his father's boots and wore his helmet," DiMona's grandfather recalled. "He adored every thought of his father, and wanted to follow in his footsteps."
This week, family and friends are mourning the death of 20-year-old Nicholas P. DiMona III, a 2017 graduate of Shawnee High School in Medford. DiMona was killed in a live-fire training accident in Alaska on Saturday, more than 15 years after his father, Nicholas P. DiMona II, died in a nighttime military training accident at Fort Stewart, Georgia.
"It's a double tragedy because we lost his father," said his grandmother Delores DiMona, speaking from Bluffton, South Carolina. "Before he went to the military, Nicholas told his mother, 'If something should happen, you have to go on.' She mourned our son for 15 years. To have her own son gone — it's a bit too much."
Army officials said that on Saturday, the Medford Lakes native was fatally shot and "died from a gunshot wound sustained while conducting live-fire training with his unit."
DiMona, an infantryman, received immediate care from medical personnel at the Donnelly Training Area near Fort Greely, then was flown to Fairbanks Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead, the release said.
His grandparents said DiMona was a child when the Apache Longbow helicopter his 32-year-old father, a chief warrant officer, was piloting crashed during a training mission. Before his death, the elder DiMona had served in Operation Iraqi Freedom and was awarded the Air Medal for his achievements.
Nicholas DiMona said Tuesday they all served in the military and shared a love for their country and guns. He fondly remembers the times his son and grandson shared together.
"They played toy soldiers around the house, and he just wanted to be like him," said DiMona. "His father was a pilot but Nick wanted to be a ranger; he wanted to be in the thick of it and really make a difference."
DiMona said he was proud of Nick's accomplishments in the military and in the community, where he worked as a camp counselor at the YMCA of the Pines in Medford. "When he came home on breaks, he went back and volunteered; he loved them."
The feeling was mutual.
"Nick was a beloved member of our YMCA of the Pines family for many years," said CEO Mark Dibble. "He was a camper, a staff and volunteer here. His mom works on our team year-round and his sister has been a camper for many years. Our entire family is grieving for Nick and his entire family. He is deeply missed."
Susan Miller, director of marketing for YMCA of the Pines, said DiMona worked as a senior counselor at Camp Ockanickon in the summers of 2017 and 2018. His mother, Melissa, also works there. "Many of us watched Nick grow up here at camp; we are heartbroken at the tragic loss of such a good-hearted, dedicated young man, with so much potential," Miller said.
Miller recalled how DiMona went above and beyond.
"For the last few years, he even dressed up as the Easter Bunny at our Breakfast with Bunny event, patiently posing for hours as kids got their pictures taken. Just a beautiful, nice camp kid," she said.
Jenn Pulliam, a teacher at Shawnee, remembered DiMona as a "loving and supportive son and brother."
"He was a fiercely loyal friend and looked out for not only his friends, but also for his sister's friends," she said. "He always wanted to serve our country even though his family already endured the tremendous loss of his father. Nick's passing is a devastating loss to our community."
Said Shawnee counselor Kevin Looney, "I always got along really well with Nick. In working with students, we often discuss potential plans for the future. With Nick it was easy, I think he told me the first time I met in his freshman year that he was going to be a soldier in the U.S. Army. That's what he always wanted, and what makes this terrible news even more heart breaking."
Friends also mourned the loss of DiMona.
A Facebook post from the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, where DiMona was assigned, read: "Nick was an outstanding Paratrooper with an infectious personality and an uncanny desire to excel no matter the challenge. He will be missed by the entire Spartan Brigade. Our hearts and Prayers go out to his family. Paratroopers never leave us, they simply slip away. Rest Easy brother."
Military officials are investigating the shooting, but provided no additional details Tuesday. DiMona was based at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage.
After graduation, DiMona joined the Army in July 2017 and trained at Fort Benning, Georgia, before reporting to Alaska in April 2018. His awards included the Army Achievement Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Army Service Ribbon and the parachutist badge.
While DiMona was just 5 years old when his father was killed in a training accident, he never stopped honoring his service and sacrifice.
Over the last five years, he laced up his sneakers and ran in honor of his father for the annual New Jersey Run For the Fallen, a race that now bears his name.
On the run's website is a picture of DiMona carrying the Gold Star Banner as he ran "his Father's Mile" in the 2016 event.
Nick's grandfather said Tuesday that Nicholas DiMona's younger sister, Gianna, joined the race last year, since her brother was in Alaska.
On the website, organizers shared their support for the DiMona family.
"We send our heartfelt condolences and prayers to his Family, Friends and Comrades, Always Honored. Always Remembered. Rest In Peace Chief Warrant Officer Nicholas P. DiMona II. and Spc. Nicholas Peter DiMona III."


STEP 4: Sharp dental tools were used to carve away the alginate leaving a perfect plaster hand.
Did you ever think you would need an extra hand around the house?
Recently I took an art lesson to learn to make a plaster cast of my hand. I created my sculpture using a mold and plaster. My cast wasn't flawless but it had a stunning amount of detail, it showed all my hand creases and nails. It took two hours of work and patience, but it all paid off.
I was surprised that someone like me with little artistic talent could create something so amazing. Shout out to Britney Ransom at 1450 art lab in Santa Monica for her great instructions.
STEP1: We mixed water with a seaweed- and silicon-based substance called alginate and I plunged in.
STEP 2: After several minutes, my hand felt like a mammoth stuck in the La Brea Tar Pits. The suction finally broke with a thwack, thus releasing me from my prison.
STEP 3:Next I mixed plaster and poured it into the mold, waiting 45 minutes for it to harden.


Kots, miss ya man and the CC days. You should bring the old clan back and round up the ol cc crew. I'll help.
Ah, ok...I'll keep that in mind, i'll have to be careful of who I choose to go after(If I ever get my chance!)...Thanks.
Hey, awesome work catching Articuno! The bird didn't stand a chance!
That reminds me of something i've been meaning to ask: Are Legend matches always in a Realistic format? That was always something that concerned me a little.
Saw TA, can my Tournament Match with RMG be reffed on or by Sunday?
As long as they don't disappear and the...unsavory stuff is out of there, I won't mind at all!
Neat! Let them know I choose the Tundra for the arena.
I'll be the Acceptor, it that's alright.
As a matter of fact, sure! I was going to use the extra slot to level some things up, but that idea is better.
Yeah, that'd be great! Thanks!
Could you ref my match with Chiko when you finish this fortnight from hell at work?


There are times in life when you feel exhausted, like you can't keep going on. So it is precisely during those times, when it feels like nothing makes sense, that you desperately seek for a reason for everything. This happens when you don't feel like doing anything, when you feel too lazy to express yourself and when sending everything to hell seems to be the only solution.
You know what I'm talking about. I know it too. I went through one of those times quite recently. I guess there were several reasons, like that my performance at work should be better, that I should be spending more time on my project, that I should be organizing my free time better, that I should be taking better care of my relationships… Pressure, obligations, fears, stress, all that together. And at the end, during those times, each one of us focuses our attention in the reason that we think must be the origin of everything wrong in our lives. In my case, that is my condition as a blind and deaf person.
Today, however, I feel happy, and I think it is because I have decided to take away all those "I should" from my mind and instead, to tell myself: "Javi, you come first." You come first, because you can't demand from yourself more than what you can give. You come first, because you don't have to do anything that, instead of making you happy, makes you feel bad. You come first, because you don't have to satisfy anybody, because you don't have to save the world, because you don't have to be a hero. Feel free, be yourself, talk whenever you feel like, enjoy what you do, laugh when you are happy and cry when you are sad. Because life is too short to live it trying to pursue other people's dreams.
The drawing depicts Javi, who is reflecting in a relaxed atmosphere, leaning against a tree.

Capitol Incursion Defendant Granted Refugee Status in Belarus
Belarus has granted refugee status to Capitol incursion defendant Evan Neumann.
Evan Neumann, a US citizen who took part in the storming of the Capitol in January 2021, was granted asylum in Belarus today. He fled the US last August after six criminal charges were allegedly brought against him. pic.twitter.com/BQ1cx4fSef
— Tadeusz Giczan 🇺🇦 (@TadeuszGiczan) March 22, 2022
The Hill reports:
"US citizen Evan Newman received refugee status in Belarus. The document was handed to him in the Department of Citizenship and Migration of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Brest Regional Executive Committee on March 22, 2022," the Belarusian Telegraph Agency reported on Twitter.
In an interview with the state-run outlet, he said he had "mixed feelings" but thanked Belarus, which "took care of me," CNN reported.
"I am upset to find myself in a situation where I have problems in my own country," he told the Belarusian-state media on Tuesday, according to the network. Court records indicate he does not have a lawyer and has been considered a "fugitive."
U.S. officials said in December that Neumann had left for the country following 14 charges he received in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, riot. Officials allege he assaulted Capitol Police and Metropolitan Police Department officers with a metal barricade and that he did not adhere to orders to leave the Capitol that evening, staying past 5 p.m.
The charges against him include civil disorder; assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers; and engaging in physical violence in a restricted building or grounds.
