Shri Kishan @ Krishan Kumar v/s Manoj Kumar
Civil Appeal No. 356 of 1991 and Civil Appeal No. 357 of 1991
Decided On, 12 February 1998
At, Supreme Court of India
By, THE HONOURABLE CHIEF JUSTICE
By, THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE K.T. THOMAS & THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE M. SRINIVASAN
For the Appellant :- Mr. G.L. Sanghi, Sr. Advocate, with Mr. S.K. Mehta, Mr. Dhruv Mehta, Mr. Fazlin Anam and Ms. Shobha, Advocates. For the Appellant (in C.A. No. 357/91) :- Mr. Mahabir Singh, Advocate. For the Respondents :- Mr. Pankaj Kalra and Mr. B.K. Sharma, Advocates.
M. Srinivasan, J.
The only question to be considered in these two appeals is whether the Courts below were barred by the provisions of the Haryana Urban (Control of Rent & Eviction) Act, 1973 from passing decrees directing the appellants to deliver possession of the properties scheduled in the suits to the respondents.
2. The facts in both the cases are almost the same with some difference in dates. The appellant in Civil Appeal No. 356 of 1991 was inducted as a tenant in one shop in 1.11.1977. The building was constructed a few months before the commencement of the tenancy. The tenancy was terminated by a notice issued on August 10, 1983 by the respondent. The suit for possession was filed on 26.9.83. The appellant in Civil Appeal No. 357 of 1991 became a tenant of another shop on 1.8.1977. The construction of the shop had been completed only a short time before the commencement of the tenancy. The tenancy was terminated by the respondent in that appeal by notice dated 3.11.1981. The suit for possession was filed on 24.9.83.
3. Both suits were tried along with other suits against tenants of other shops on similar facts by the Senior Sub Judge, Sonepat. In all the suits, the defendants/tenants raised several contentions including challenge to the title of the plaintiffs and the quantum of rent. All the issues were answered in favour of the plaintiffs and decrees were passed on 8.12.88. Appeals in the Court of Additional District Judge suffered dismissal on 26.10.89. Second appeals were dismissed in limine by the High Court with `one word orders'. It is only these two appellants who have come to this Court. An attempt has been made to canvass all the findings of Courts below but as they are factual and supported by evidence on record we have no difficulty in rejecting the same.
4. The only question which has been argued at length and survives for our consideration is the one set out in the beginning. The Haryana Urban (Control of Rent & Eviction) Act, hereinafter referred to as `the Act' came into force on April 25, 1973. It is an Act to control the increase of rent of certain buildings and rented land situated within the limits of urban areas, and the eviction of tenants therefrom. Section 1(3) of the Act reads thus :
1(3) "Nothing in this Act shall apply to any building the construction of which is completed on or after the commencement of this Act for a period of ten years from the date of its completion."
There is no doubt that when the suits in these cases were filed by the respondents, the Act was not applicable in view of the said section. But before the trial concluded, the moratorium period of ten years came to an end and the decrees were passed only thereafter. The appellants contend that the Court lost its jurisdiction on the expiry of the ten-year period and the decree passed thereafter is a nullity. For raising this contention the appellants invoke in their aid the provisions of Section 13(1) of the Act which is in the following terms:
13(1) "A tenant in possession of a building or a rented land shall not be evicted therefrom except in accordance with the provisions of this Section."
It is argued that a special forum has been created and a specific procedure has been prescribed in the Act without resort to which a tenant cannot be evicted from the demised premises.
3. It is argued that the Act is intended to be beneficial to the tenants and special protection is afforded to them. According to the learned counsel, for the purpose of the Act the expression `tenant' includes a tenant continuing in possession after the termination of his tenancy and at the expiry of a period of ten years set out in Section 1(3) of the Act, the `building' comes within the fold of the Act and the tenant in occupation will automatically have the protection afforded by the Act. Emphasis is laid on the wording of Section 13(1) which prevents eviction of a tenant in possession except in accordance with the provisions of the Section. According to the learned counsel the moment, the Act becomes applicable to the building in question, the suit in relation thereto has to abate and the remedy of the landlord is to approach the Controller with an application for eviction on any of the grounds set out in the Section. According to him even if a decree is passed by the civil court it will not be enforceable and the tenant cannot be evicted from the building pursuant to the decree as the bar in Section 13(1) is absolute. In support of this contention, learned counsel has placed reliance on some of the rulings of this Court which will be adverted to a little later.
6. On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondents has placed before us the following proposition :
a) On the date when the suit was instituted it was to enforce a legal right which had already accrued to the plaintiff and stood crystallized under the law applicable to the building at that time. In the absence of any specific provision in the Act to deprive the Court of its jurisdiction to determine the issues pertaining to that right, it cannot be contended that by efflux of ten-year period mentioned in Section 1(3), the Court would lose its jurisdiction.
b) The maxim ubi jus ubi remedium can be excluded only by a substantive legislation expressly extinguishing the said right. The Act does not contain any such provision to bring to an end the right of the plaintiff which had already accrued and put in issue in the suit. A judicial vacuum cannot be created by preventing the Court from deciding an issue which has arisen before it unless the right which had accrued in favour of one party is taken away by the Legislation.
c) The principle of maxim actus curiae neminem gravabit would apply and because the Court had taken a long time to dispose of the matter before it, the party which had approached it cannot be made to suffer.
d) The provisions of Section 1(3) and Section 13(1) should be so construed as to advance the legislative intention and if the contention of the appellants is accepted it would defeat the purpose of the moratorium and make it futile.
In support of the above contentions learned counsel has referred to several rulings of this Court and submitted that the consistent view taken by this Court is in his favour.
7. Before referring to the decisions cited before us it is necessary to advert to the provisions of the Act. We have already quoted Sections 1(3) and 13(1). Apart from the legislative exemption contained in Section 1(3) there is a provision in Section 3 of the Act enabling the State Government to exclude any building or any class of buildings from the purview of the Act. Sections 4 to 8 deal with fair rent, deposit of rent etc. Sections 9 and 10 refer to the amenities to be provided to the tenant. Section 11 prevents conversion of a residential building into a non-residential building except with the permission in writing of the Controller. Section 12 deals with the situation where a landlord fails to make the necessary repairs. Section 13 sets out the grounds on which eviction can be sought by a landlord. Section 13A prescribes special procedure for disposal of the application by a landlord in certain cases such as members of the Armed Forces, Government employees etc. Section 14 prevents re-opening of decisions which have become final. Section 15 prescribes appellate and the revisional authorities. Section 16 provides that an authority exercising powers under the Act shall have the same powers of summoning and enforcing the attendance of witnesses and compelling the production of evidence as are vested in a Court under the Civil Procedure Code. Sections 17 to 23 deal with orders as to costs, execution, power to transfer proceedings, penalties etc. Section 24 repeals the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949 (East Punjab Act No. 3 of 1949).
8. There is no provision in the Act taking away the jurisdiction of a civil court to dispose of a suit validly instituted. There is also no provision preventing the execution of a decree passed in such a suit. Section 13(1) does not expressly refer to execution of a decree for possession. On a reading of all the provisions of the Act, it is evident that it has not prevented a civil Court from adjudicating the rights accrued and the liabilities incurred prior to the date on which the Act became applicable to the building in question. If the Legislature had intended to take away the jurisdiction of the civil court to decide a suit which had been validly instituted, it would have been worded differently. The purpose for which the exemption is granted statutorily under Section 1(3) is to encourage construction of new buildings. That purpose would be defeated if the owner of the building is deprived of his right to get possession of the building unless he gets a decree within a period of ten years from the date of its completion. In fact the logical consequence of the argument of the appellants if accepted would be that even if a decree is obtained by the landlord within ten years from its completion it cannot be executed after the expiry of the said period of ten years as such execution would not be in accordance with the provisions of the Act. It is common knowledge that a proceeding in a civil court for recovery of immovable property could be dragged on by the defendant easily for a period of ten years or more and thereby any tenant whose tenancy had been terminated validly before the suit would successfully make the proceeding infructuous by prolonging the litigation. The argument of the appellants cannot be accepted as otherwise the purpose of exemption would get defeated.
9. The earliest case brought to our notice is Firms Amar Nath Basheshar Dass v. Tek Chand, 1972(3) S.C.R. 922. The construction of the building in that case was completed in March 1960 and a suit for ejectment was filed on 14.1.63. The decree was passed on 14.8.69. The executing court dismissed the petition for execution on the ground that the conditions prescribed in the Notification of the Government of Punjab under Section 13 of Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act 1949 dated 30.7.65 exempting such decrees from Section 13 of the Act were not complied with. An appeal against the judgment was unsuccessful but on second appeal the High Court held that the decree was exempted under the Notification and it was executable. This Court confirmed the decision of the High Court. The Court took note of the fact that it became necessary for each of the State Governments not only to undertake building schemes itself but also to encourage persons who had means to build by exempting newly constructed buildings which were let out to tenants from rent control restrictions for a particular period. In that case the State Government in exercise of the power conferred on it by Section 3 of the Act referred to above was notifying exemption from time to time during a period of twenty years. The relevant Notification dated 30.7.65 imposed two conditions in respect of decrees for ejectment of tenants for being outside the provisions of Section 13 of the Act. The first condition was that buildings should have been constructed during the years 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962 and 1963 and they are exempted for five years from the date of completion. The second condition was that suits for ejectment of tenants in possession should be instituted in civil courts during the aforesaid period of exemption and decrees of ejectment were passed. On a construction of the Notification this Court held that under the second condition a suit must end in a decree though that decree may be passed subsequent to the expiry of five years during which exemption from the application of the Section had been granted.
10. In Shri Ram Saroop Rai v. Smt. Lilavati, (1980) 3 S.C.C. 452 while dealing with a case under the U.P. Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent and Eviction) Act, 1972, Justice Krishna Iyer referred to the object of exemption from the applicability of the Act in the following words :
"...Chronic scarcity of accommodation in almost every part of the country has made `eviction' litigation explosively considerable, and the strict protection against ejectment, save upon restricted grounds, has become the policy of the State. Rent control legislation to give effect to this policy exists everywhere, and we are concerned with one such in the State of U.P. (U.P. Act 13 of 1972). The legislature found that rent control law has a chilling effect on new building constructions, and so, to encourage more building operations, amended the statute to release from the shackles of legislative restriction, `new constructions' for a period of ten years. So much so, a landlord who has let out his new building could recover possession without impediment if he instituted such proceeding within ten years of completion".
The aforesaid observations would apply in the present case too.
11. In Vineet Kumar v. Mangal Sain Wadhera, 1984(1) RCR 302 (SC) : (1984) 3 S.C.C. 353 on which strong reliance is placed by the appellants, the suit for ejectment was filed during the period of exemption granted to new buildings under Section 2(2) of the U.P. Urban Buildings (Regulation of Letting, Rent & Eviction) Act, 1972. During the pendency of the suit the period of exemption came to an end and the defendant resisted the same on the ground that he was entitled to get the benefits of the Act. That plea of the defendant was upheld by a Bench of Two Judges of this Court. The Bench relied upon the judgment in Pasupuleti Venkateswarulu v. Motors and General Traders, 1975 R.C.R. (Rent) 486 : (1975) 1 S.C.C. 770 wherein it was held that events and developments subsequent to the institution of proceedings must be taken into consideration in appropriate cases to promote substantial justice. On that premises the Court opined that the subsequent event of the Act becoming applicable to the building on the expiry of the period of exemption could be taken advantage of by the tenant.
12. In Mohinder Singh and others v. State of Haryana and another, 1986(1) R.C.R. (Rent) 74 : (1985) 4 S.C.C. 221 a Bench of Three Judges considered a case arising under the Haryana Act, the same as in the present case. The validity of the amending Act 16 of 1978 which introduced Section 1(3) in the present form was upheld. The Court considered the object of the legislation and in particular the provision for exemption from the operation of the legislation. The Court said :
"...As in view of the rigours of Rent Control Legislation, persons with means may not be inclined to invest in construction of new houses, the Legislature to attract investment in construction of new houses may consider it reasonable to provide for adequate incentives so that new constructions may come up. It is an elementary law of economics that anybody who wants to invest his money in any venture will expect a fair return on the investment made. As acute scarcity of accommodation is to an extent responsible for the landlord and tenant problem, the measure adopted by the Legislature for seeking to meet the situation by encouraging the construction of new buildings for the purpose of mitigating the hardship of tenants must be considered to be a step in the right direction. The provision for exemption from the operation of the Rent Control Legislation by way of incentive to persons with means to construct new houses has been made in Section 1(3) of the Act by the Legislature in the legitimate hope that construction of new buildings will ultimately result in mitigation of the hardship of the tenants. Such incentive has a clear nexus with the object to be achieved and cannot be considered to be unreasonable or arbitrary. Any such incentive offered for the purpose of construction of new buildings with the object of easing the situation of scarcity of accommodation for ameliorating the conditions in the tenants, cannot be said to be unreasonable, provided the nature and character of the incentive and the measure of exemption allowed are not otherwise unreasonable and arbitrary. The exemption to be allowed must be for a reasonable and definite period. An exemption for an indefinite period or a period which in the facts and circumstances of any particular case may be considered to be unduly long, may be held to be arbitrary. The exemption must necessarily be effective from a particular date and must be with the object of promoting new constructions. With the commencement of the Act, the provisions of the Rent Act with all the restrictions and rigours became effective. Buildings which have been constructed before the commencement of the Act were already there and the question of any kind of impetus or incentive to such buildings does not arise. The Legislature, therefore, very appropriately allowed the benefit of the exemption to the buildings, the construction of which commenced or was completed on or after the commencement of the Act. This exemption in respect of the buildings coming up or to come up on or after the date of commencement of the Act is likely to serve the purpose of encouraging new buildings to be constructed. There is therefore nothing arbitrary or unreasonable in fixing the date of commencement of the Act from which the exemption is to be operative."
The Court also held that the period of ten years for exemption was quite reasonable.
13. In Nand Kishore Marwah & Ors. v. Samundri Devi, 1987(2) RCR 412 a case arising under the U.P. Act, a Bench of Two Judges dissented from the view expressed in Vineet Kumar v. Mangal Sain Wadhera (supra). The Court held that the rights of the parties will be determined on the basis of the rights available to them on the date of suit and upheld the eviction decree passed in that case.
14. In Atma Ram Mittal v. Ishwar Singh Punia, (1988) 4 S.C.C. 284 a Bench of Two Judges held that Vineet Kumar (supra) was impliedly overruled. That was also a case arising under the present Act. The Bench pointed out that if the immunity from the operation of the Rent Act is made and depended upon the ultimate disposal of the case within the period of exemption of ten years which is in reality an impossibility, the immunity or exemption would become illusory and provide no incentive to the landlords to build new houses to solve problem of shortage of houses. The Court referred to the maxim actus curiae neminem gravabit and held that once rights are crystallised, the adjudication must be in accordance with law. The Court also relied upon the principle that purposive interpretation in a social ameliorative legislation is an imperative irrespective of anything else and while ascertaining the legislative intent the Court should look into the true meaning of the words that the legislature has used.
15. In Kesho Ram & Co. & Ors. etc. v. Union of India & Ors., 1989 2 S.C.R. 1005 the suits were filed during the period of exemption of five years under the Notification issued under East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949. When the period of five years expired during the pendency of the suit, the tenants raised objections on the ground that the suit could not be decreed in view of Section 13 of the Act. The contention was rejected by the Bench of Three Judges. Referring to the provisions of the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act and the Notification made thereunder the Court said :
"....The emphasis is on the institution of the suit within the period of exemption of five years. Once the landlord institutes a suit before the expiry of the period of exemption, the decree even if passed after the period of five years will not be subject to the provisions of Section 13 of the Act. This is the true meaning of the Notification. The Notification does not enlarge the period of exemption instead it safeguards the rights of the parties which crystallise on the date of institution of the suit."
The Court proceeded to trace the case law on the subject and rejected the submission made on behalf of the tenants on the ground that the acceptance thereof would result in reducing an Act to a dead letter or to defeat the object and purpose of the Statute.
16. In Suresh Chand v. Gulam Chisti, 1990(1) RCR 302 another Bench of Three Judges referred to the entire case law on the subject and held that the expiry of the period of exemption during the pendency of the suit cannot enable the tenant to claim the benefits of the Act. Following the ruling in Atma Ram Mittal's case (supra) the Court said that the interpretation pleaded by the tenant would encourage him to protract the litigation and if he succeeds in delaying the disposal of the suit till the expiry of the period, he would secure the benefits of the Act and therefore it was not possible to uphold that plea.
17. In Ramesh Chandra v. III Additional District Judge & Ors., (1992)1 S.C.C. 751 : 1992(1) RCR 304 yet another Bench of Three Judges dealt with a case under the U.P. Act and held that the law applicable on the date of the institution of the suit would govern the suit since on the date of institution of the suit, the building was exempted from the operation of the Act and the suit being one preceded by notice under Section 106 of the Transfer of Property Act was maintainable. The Court opined that the suit as instituted had to be disposed of without reference to the Act. The Court observed that Vineet Kumar (supra) stood overruled.
18. In Bhola Nath Varshney v. Mulk Raj Madan, (1994)2 S.C.C. 127 : 1994(1) RCR 390, the case was again under the U.P. Act. The Bench held that
the law applicable on the date of the institution alone would govern the suit. 19. In Parripati Chandrasekharrao & Sons v. Alapati Jalaiah, (1995)3 S.C.C. 709 : 1995(1) RCR 591 a Division Bench pointed out the distinction between the rights of a landlord and the right of a tenant. It was held that the theory of the vested rights which may validly be pleaded to support the landlord's case is not available to the tenant. 20. Thus it is seen that this Court has been consistently taking the view that a suit instituted during the period of exemption could be continued and a decree passed therein could be executed even though the period of exemption came to an end during the pendency of the suit. The only discordant note was struck in Vineet Kumar v. Mange Lal Wadhera, 1984(1) RCR 302. We have noticed that several decisions subsequent thereto have held that Vineet Kumar is not good law. We have already construed the relevant provisions of the Act and pointed out that there is nothing in the Act which prevents the civil court from continuing the suit and passing a decree which could be executed. 21. Learned counsel for the appellants attempted to make a distinction between the provisions of the Section 20 of the U.P. Act and Section 13 of the present Act. The wording in the former is as follows : "Save as provided in sub-section (2), no suit shall be instituted for the eviction of a tenant from a building, notwithstanding the determination of his tenancy by efflux of time or on the expiration of a notice to quit or in any other manner." According to the learned counsel bar against the institution of a suit would stand on a different footing from bar against eviction as such which is contained in Section 13 of the Act. In our opinion the difference in language does not help the appellants in any manner. We have already pointed out that Section 13 of the Act does not make any reference to a decree passed in a civil suit. When a suit is validly instituted and the rights of parties which had crystallised on the date of the suit are determined by a decree in that suit the execution thereof cannot be stopped by the provisions of Section 13 of the Act. Hence, we are unable to accept any of the contentions of the appellants. In the result the appeals fail and are dismissed. There will be no order as to costs. Appeals dismissed.

"I was divorced early in my adult life and was left to make a living and raise my two children on my own", said Gloria. "I understand some of the difficulties the guests at the shelter face as they try to make a living and raise their families on their own. In my case, I was fortunate to have a college degree so that helped me to find good work - many times the victims who come to our shelter don't have that advantage, plus they are dealing with the abuse".
Gloria joined the board in 2007 and helps in many ways. Her decorative touch can be seen at the annual Woman of the Year Gala - an event she has been involved with since the inaugural year.

Dubbed "Smartphone as brain", Honda's concept is reminiscent of an infotainment system found in a car, adapted to a motorcycle.
In the system's preliminary introduction, Honda explains how, for instance, riders would be able to notify other connected riders of the presence of potholes. Provided they are willing to pull over to fulfill the good deed. The manufacturer will formally introduce the technology at CES so little to no further information about it is available at the moment.

Alpinestars Tech-Air 5
Alpinestars will debut a standalone airbag vest at CES. Similarly to Dainese who introduced a comparable product in the summer, Alpinestars is trying to make the technology more accessible and to a wider audience.
The vest is expected to fit under any textile jacket. Until now, the company's airbag technology could only be paired with compatible jackets. This new model will work with any jacket—including the one potential customers already own.

Segway-Ninebot Apex
Seemingly a Yamaha R6 in disguise (according to some commenters), the Segway-Ninebot Apex has yet to reveal its secrets. The company will showcase its first electric sportbike at CES at which point we can hope to learn more in the way of specs and a potential production timeline.

Bosch Smartglasses Light Drive
While several helmet manufacturers and startups are developing "smart lids" with integrated heads up display and connectivity, Bosch is instead looking into making the technology more portable. The company will unveil the Smartglasses Light Drive which is a device designed to turn any pair of spectacles into a HUD.
The goal is to make information such as navigation instructions directly available to a driver (or a rider) without having to look away from the road.

Damon Hypersport
After announcing it was trying to make the roads safer for motorcyclists, Canadian startup Damon Motorcycles will now add an electric sportbike to its portfolio. We first documented the company when it announced it would develop a 360-degree detection and warning system for motorcycles.
Now, it will hit CES with the Hypoersport electric motorcycle equipped with the company's CoPilot safety technology and the Shift adjustable ergonomics system. Yes, that means that you can adjust your riding position on the bike. Not only that, you can actually do it on the go. The model is expected to be introduced to the market in 2020.

NAWA Racer
French company NAWA Technologies will introduce its first electric motorcycle on the Vegas stage. The NAWA Racer uses a hybrid technology but not the type of hybrid we are used to. Instead of combining the efforts of an electric motor and an ICE, the Racer is armed with a Lithium-ion battery and ultracapacitors (not the flux kind, sadly). The company claims that its system "offers ten times more power and five times more energy than existing ultracapacitors."
Compared to standard batteries, ultracapacitors are able to charge faster, are lighter, and less toxic the Lithium-ion units. That's the upside. The downside is that at this stage, the technology isn't able to store as much energy as its acid-based counterpart.
For that reason, NAWA combined the two electric technologies to take full advantage of what the two technologies have to offer—more energy storage in the Lithium-ion battery, more efficient charging and power release with the ultracapacitors. The company estimates that the vehicle will be able to reach a top speed of 99 mph and do the 0-to-62 (0 to 100 km/h) in under three seconds.

PROVIDENCE – The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (DEM), in partnership with the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), announces that it has rescheduled an informational workshop on the brownfields grant application process that was originally planned for this week.
WHEN: Wednesday, December 12, 2018 | 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m.
WHO: This session is presented by USEPA and open to those interested in applying for federal brownfields grant funding. USEPA Region 1 brownfields staff will provide key points for writing a winning proposal and answer participants' questions about preparing a grant application.
Separate breakout sessions will be held on assessment grant guidelines and cleanup grant guidelines.
For potential multipurpose grant applicants, a separate Q&A period will follow the assessment grant breakout session.
If applicants are interested in applying for more than one type of grant, it is suggested that two people attend the workshop.
To register for the December 12th workshop, visit USEPA's Registration Page. Due to space limitations, registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Along with the Rhode Island workshop, USEPA will hold five additional workshops in New England states this month.
New USEPA Brownfields Grant Guidelines are now available on the USEPA website.


TMJ disorder refers to problems with a patient's temporomandibular joint. You can feel this joint on the side of your face—it connects your skull near your ear to your lower jaw. This jaw allows you to speak and chew.
Unfortunately, sometimes this joint can become damaged or inflamed. This can lead to a host of unwanted symptoms and even permanent jaw damage.
What Are Some TMJ Symptoms?
· Limited jaw mobility—sometimes people find that their jaws "lock" as the patient tries to open his or her mouth. As you can imagine, this may make it difficult to bite and chew.
Sometimes patients suffer from just one of these issues, while other people may struggle with multiple problems. Additionally, symptoms can, and actually often do, increase and intensify over time.
So if you do notice any of these symptoms, it is in your best interest to speak to a TMJ care provider as soon as possible. Early intervention has been shown to improve a patient's prognosis, and help prevent additional TMJ deterioration.
Our Las Vegas TMJ dentist office would be happy to talk you more about symptoms of TMJ disorder as well as treatment options. Talk to you soon!

Q: Why does a conditional nested list comprehension return a list with a removed element? [Python]
I have data in a nested list:
DATA_CONNS_MIN = [['T', '1', 'S', '2'], ['T', '10', 'S', '11'], ['S', '11', 'T', '11'], ['T', '5', 'S', '6'], ['B', '16', 'T', '9'], ['B', '16', 'T', '12'], ['T', '9', 'B', '17'], ['T', '12', 'B', '17'], ['B', '19', 'S', '4'], ['T', '3', 'S', '5'], ['T', '2', 'B', '19'], ['B', '19', 'S', '3'], ['T', '6', 'B', '22'], ['B', '22', 'S', '7'], ['B', '22', 'S', '8'], ['S', '6', 'B', '33'], ['S', '4', 'B', '33'], ['S', '7', 'T', '7'], ['S', '9', 'B', '16'], ['S', '8', 'B', '16'], ['S', '2', 'B', '30'], ['B', '30', 'T', '2'], ['B', '30', 'T', '14'], ['S', '3', 'B', '31'], ['B', '31', 'T', '3'], ['B', '31', 'T', '15'], ['S', '5', 'B', '32'], ['B', '32', 'T', '5'], ['B', '32', 'T', '16'], ['B', '33', 'T', '6'], ['B', '33', 'T', '17'], ['S', '10', 'B', '34'], ['B', '34', 'T', '10'], ['B', '34', 'T', '18'], ['S', '21', 'T', '21'], ['T', '17', 'S', '21'], ['S', '22', 'T', '22'], ['T', '18', 'S', '22'], ['B', '17', 'S', '10'], ['B', '34', 'T', '13'], ['T', '7', 'S', '9'], ['T', '11', 'S', '1'], ['T', '21', 'S', '1'], ['T', '14', 'S', '21'], ['T', '15', 'S', '21'], ['T', '16', 'S', '21'], ['T', '22', 'S', '10'], ['T', '13', 'S', '9']]

I have a list comprehension
DATA_CONNS_MIN = [x.remove(y) for x in DATA_CONNS_MIN for y in x if y[0] == 'B']

My output is:
[None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None]

I have attempted the list comprehension based on this website and have tried having a look around StackOverflow with no avail.
Thanks in advance.

A: If you really want a spoiler:
DATA_CONNS_MIN = [x for x in DATA_CONNS_MIN  if x[0] != 'B']

It is easier to construct things than erase things, so here we are reconstructing the DATA_CONNS_MIN by only including its elements whose first element is not 'B'.

Leonard Cohen : You Want It Darker
Label: Columbia
by Wil Lewellyn
My gateway into the genius of Leonard Cohen came about as a result of his influence on other singers. While any goth worth their clove cigarettes knows that The Sisters of Mercy took their name from one of his songs, it was his name being dropped by the likes of Nick Cave and Tom Waits that inspired me to seek out his music. Thanks to his knack for creating elegant soundtracks for the bowels of depression, I turned to his 1967 album Songs of Leonard Cohen during many a rough patch over the years. The coat of melancholy worn by this new album—which, despite some dramatic statements of late, he doesn't hope to be his final work—You Want It Darker is true to its gloomy title, yet smoothed over by graceful arrangements
Cohen is a storyteller first and foremost. This album finds his gravelly baritone more weathered, but Cohen recites the lyrics with a conviction that makes up for the toll age takes on one's voice. There is a bittersweet tenderness to his delivery on "Treaty." A subtle pulse of palm-muted guitar opens the track before it rises into more of a gospel arrangement. Having come up with the beat generation, Cohen is as much a poet as he is a singer, which makes the lyrics all the more powerful. "Leaving the Table" serves as another solemn entry in his songbook, with an almost country feel. Devoid of any twang, however, it instead reflects the burdens of the heart faced by the common man.
The sounds captured on You Want It Darker are very clean, though the mix of the album is a little weird. The spacious quality is similar to that of the production on Nick Cave's Push the Sky Away. Cohen's voice is close up on the mic, almost whispered. The guitar at times gives him almost too much room, stepping up into the spotlight for a solo. It's very tasteful and well layered, but I could use more instrumentation getting more up close and personal with him.
Not everything is an interesting step forward here. While it's a well written song, "If I Didn't Have Your Love" is your standard, boilerplate love song that borrows from many of the conventions of country music. "Traveling Light" might remind you of the weary road he walked upon on the song "The Future" from the Natural Born Killers soundtrack, though this has a little more movement. "Steer Your Way" finds the lingering pace of the album picking up a little. The strings lighten things where otherwise they might have previously darkened them.
Nearly five decades after the start of his musical career, Cohen is a masterful songwriter with an extraordinary power over his words. Its time of release is auspicious, as the looming holidays upon us can be particularly depressing for some. This album will serve as a sort of gloomy comfort and should be blaring anywhere you choose to drown your sorrows. Longtime fans of Cohen will find that he has aged like wine, and his voice still carries an intoxicating richness. It's a fitting late-career high for one of the most endearing songwriters still alive.

If you are a young dancer serious about spending a summer immersed in movement with like-minded peers and stellar faculty, consider looking abroad toward Israel, a country rich in groundbreaking contemporary dance, and one of its leading companies, Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company.
While most top dance companies are based in major urban areas, Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company's heart and home is located in a kibbutz (a communal village) located in Ga'aton on the rolling hills of the historic Galilee region of northern Israel, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The International Dance Village is truly a unique location unlike any other in the world. It is the life project of world-renowned choreographer Rami Be'er, the Artistic Director of Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company, widely-recognized as one of the top international contemporary dance companies. Through his vision, leadership and dedication over the years, the International Dance Village has developed into a first-class dance center, offering 10 dance studios, a performing arts center and theater, a café and restaurant, a swimming pool, a social hall and much more. It has truly become a haven for dancers and dance students from all walks of life, from around the world. Read on and learn more about the Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company's Summer Intensive program, and visit their website for more details.
DA: What makes Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company's Summer Intensive special?
The Summer Intensive program hosted by Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company is one of a kind for several reasons. But first and foremost it's because it's the only one taking place at an International Dance Village. This special dance place has a strong tradition of innovation in contemporary dance, as the founder, Yehudit Arnon, a Holocaust survivor, envisioned bettering the world through the creation of a strong dance community. She founded the dance company and the International Dance Village in Kibbutz Ga'aton in Western Galilee of Israel in the early 70's and shortly thereafter, collaborated with renowned choreographers such as Mats Ek, Ohad Naharin, Jiří Kylián, Christopher Bruce, Kei Takei, Susanne Linke, Hada Oren, and Oshra Elkayam with the purposed of keeping the contemporary dance community in Israel fresh and innovative. Her work has been proudly sustained and continued by Rami Be'er, the Artistic Director of Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company.
In this context, 10 years ago, the Summer Intensive was born to offer young and aspiring dancers, high school and university aged dance students from all over the world, the opportunity to discover a unique and innovative dance environment, where they could express themselves and evolve as professional dancers.
We can proudly attest to the fact that alumni and past participants at our Summer Intensive have repeatedly said that they've gained a new family here, aside from learning a lot of impressive and advanced dance techniques from renowned teachers. They've also developed a deep connection with one another, which was one of the best take away from the Kibbutz Summer Intensive. Young students get to live in the beautiful and inspiring International Dance Village along with Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company's dancers, teachers and choreographers. They have the opportunity to learn so much from them while also seeing them perform live. It's like no other place you've seen before.
For dancers coming to study and live here; whether they're company dancers or studying at our Summer Intensive, it's really a dream come true and a place of inspiration, creation, community and peace of mind.
DA: Can you tell us about the audition process and what students can expect?
Coinciding with our belief and desire to offer young and aspiring dancers from around the world with a first-class dance education during their summer break, we've made it a point to not require dancers and dance students to audition for the Summer Intensive. Instead, we've created a Summer Intensive, offering an opportunity for dancers of all levels to attend and study with us. From beginner and intermediate level dance students to more pre-professional dance students and dancers, we offer five different group levels so that the Summer Intensive can accommodate for all students of all levels and all backgrounds from across the world.
DA: How can students best prepare themselves for an intensive summer program abroad?
There is nothing specific that students necessarily have to do in order to prepare for the Summer Intensive aside from getting themselves psyched and excited to have the time of their lives; dancing and learning from one of the world's leading contemporary dance companies in an International Dance Village like no other in the world, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea while making lifelong friends and new connections like-minded dancers and inspirational teachers from across the world.
DA: What kinds of cultural or social activities can students participate in during this Summer Intensive?
Having the opportunity to live on a kibbutz (a communal village) where the International Dance Village is situated alongside our main and second companies, is quite a special experience. This is your chance to live in the serene, beautiful, and historic Galilee region of Israel where you'll be able to explore the region, its historic landmarks such as the ancient city of Akko, Jerusalem, float on the water of the Dead Sea (the lowest place on earth!), and hang out with friends on the beaches of the Mediterranean Sea. Following classes each day, we offer free time to swim and relax by our pool with friends and around the kibbutz and after dinner, we have fun and engaging social activities of all kinds.
DA: What specific advice do you have for students, so they can get the most out of their experience with world renowned faculty?
Our best suggestion is to arrive to the International Dance Village and the Summer Intensive as a 'sponge,' willing to listen and absorb all the new information, dance techniques, and repertoire that you'll be learning together with fellow participants from our teachers and company dancers. This is a truly special opportunity to be able to study firsthand with professional dancers, choreographers and international teachers with vast experience and offers a tremendous chance to improve yourself exponentially from a technical standpoint but at the same time, develop yourself as an artist while developing on a personal level from such an international dance experience.
DA: What are two or three tips you can share for dance students traveling to Israel for the first time?
Israel is truly a wonderful and unique region of the world with a plethora of history, diversity, culture, great cuisine and is also widely known as global leader in innovation and technology. With that said, the dance scene in Israel is also world-renowned and therefore there is much to offer for dancers and dance students coming from abroad for these special summer dance workshops. Naturally, summertime in Israel offers perfect summer weather, so prepare yourself for that as well as being immersed in an extremely welcoming community that is the International Dance Village; where dancers from all backgrounds are welcomed and are given support and guidance by our staff and faculty as they continue to develop in their careers as blossoming dancers.

Lessons at DCS will only resume on Monday 8 April and Tuesday 9 April 2019.
We have a lot planned for the second term, but we sadly say goodbye to one of our long standing volunteers - Priya Sen on Monday 8 April.
Please join us for a farewell tea on Monday 8 April at Piatto's after our lessons to say good bye to Priya. Priya has mainly taught on Tuesdays over the last few years, however she has assisted with Monday Zoo trips, the Food Pantry, our Saturday Buddy Reader Programme and has basically always stepped in to help out wherever help was needed. If you volunteer on Tuesdays, please pop into Piatto's on Monday the 8th at 11am if you are available so that you can say farewell to Priya.
Rotary Club of Sandton will then be joining us at DCS on Tuesday 9 April to deliver over 500 sets of LEGO to be distributed to learners at DCS. Meghan, Sachi and I will be staying on after our usual Tuesday lesson to assist with this as the truck is only due to arrive between 10:30 and 11am. It would be great if our Tuesday volunteers could stay on for this, but if not we will make sure that a car goes back to Dainfern at the usual time.
With Easter around corner, please consider donating a few strips of marshmallow eggs or a box of 24 or 48 similar to what is pictured below (it doesn't matter what brand). This will keep our costs down as we like to give each Grade 2 and 3 child an egg. If you can bring a few on Monday 8 or Tuesday 9 April, we will be able to purchase the balance required in the week and distribute them with your help, the following week.

B767 aircraft pitches down away from GS while on autopilot; generating warning from ATC.
ATIS reporting ILS runway 34 in zurich; WX 2000 meters; light rain; 500 ft scattered; ceiling 1000 ft broken; wind light and variable. ATC gives vectors and a 010 degree heading to intercept the localizer for the ILS to runway 34 'cleared for the approach.' between utixo (13.2D) and milni (10.3D) we get a good GS capture; which was prior to localizer capture. Then we get a good localizer capture just outside milni (10.3D). Just inside milni we get an amber line through the GS on the fdi. Then the aircraft pitched down away from the glide path raw data. Simultaneously approach control states; 'low altitude alert switch to tower;' and captain (flying) disconnected the autoplt and corrected back to glide path. Estimate maximum of 200 ft below glide path; and at this time 2400 ft above ground. Reset both flight directors and rearmed the approach mode; got the GS and localizer back. Re-established stabilized approach. Landing uneventful. I think the problem was a fault in the GS sub-mode of the autoplt. To correct the problem I would recommend installation of GPS in all air carrier aircraft.

Finding a way to expedite the formation of ball copra would be advantageous to sustain a steady supply. This study attempted to investigate the effect of kiln drying on the rate of formation of ball copra. Three samples containing fifty partially dried-coconuts were placed as a single layer in three compartmentalized blocks namely, Front: Blok-1, Middle: Block-2, and Rear: Block-3 in the copra bed of the modified-Ceylon copra kiln. From each of the three blocks, thirty coconuts were selected randomly for labeling and their fresh weights were recorded. The samples were subjected to intermittent drying in the kiln by thirty five firing cycles using charcoal dust as the fuel source. The temperature distribution pattern of the three blocks during the first six firing was monitored at three hourly intervals. The weight losses of individual coconuts in each block were measured after the completion of each firing. The results showed that, there was a significant (p<0.05) effect of copra bed temperature on the weight losses of the samples. The first ever ball copra formation was detected in the Block-3 after the completion of the 12th firing. The percentages of ball copra formed at the end of 35th firing were 44%, 78%, and 94%, in Block-1, Block-2, and Block-3, respectively. Analytical studies indicated that the quality indices of ball copra were comparable to those of the edible white copra.


With such an infinite array of wired and Bluetooth headphones for running and working out, how do we know our money will buy an investment and not another piece of temporary tech? Headphones are a very competitive electronics category with players ranging from obscure to household name. As a complete and total music nerd, I have owned many a headphone pair. Studio monitors, wired and wireless earbuds of every gimmick and design, Bluetooth on-ears, in-ears, and over-ears, and countless random sets from disposable to decadent. Headphones have been an emotional receptor for me throughout my life, and a mirror for my artistic expression as a musician. Just over three months ago, I began a rigorous workout schedule, and I knew I would need the best sport headphones I could find. I played with a few wired and Bluetooth headphones for working out before I had the opportunity to write this article, and saw it as the perfect way to test these workout headphones in the field. Well, actually I tested them in the gym, in the field, on the trail, on a bike, and on a skateboard, but I think I covered some solid ground during the tests.
Beats Solo3 Review: Worth the Price?
Every now and again, I decide it's time to treat myself. My beloved House of Marley headphones recently fell apart, so I began searching for a new pair to invest in. A few Google searches later, I found myself ogling the Ultra Violet Beats Solo3 Wireless ($299) headphones. I'm a sucker for an elegant presentation, but are Beats more than just a pretty face? I've been using my Beats Solo3s for about two months now; so was it worth the price tag?

Mobile gaming has quickly become far more accessible than console gaming, and as a result, the mobile video game market has overtaken the PC and console gaming markets in terms of popularity and profits. So it's no wonder that gaming accessories designed specifically for the mobile market have been popping up in ever greater numbers. One of the most recent additions to the gaming accessory arena are the Fatal1ty FXM 200 ($99.95) over-ear gaming headphones, designed by pro-gamer Jonathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel and built by Monster Audio.
Focal Listen Headphones Raise the Bar for the Modern, Mobile Audiophile.
The Focal Listen headphones ($249) belong to a growing sector of premium, yet relatively affordable headphones aimed at the mobile audiophile. Unlike many premium headphones that target the smartphone market, the Listen aren't Bluetooth compatible; but what they lack in modern connectivity alternatives they make up for in comfort, design, and audio quality. Not to mention, many mobile audiophiles will swear that when relying on Bluetooth connectivity you lose audio quality; so the fact that the Listen only offer wired connectivity will be a plus in the eyes of the die-hard audio aficionado.

It's not often that I begin a review of one product by talking about another similar product, but in this case it seemed rather apropos. If you've followed my articles here at iPhone Life, then you probably already know that I'm a big fan of the luxurious, $400 Parrot Zik 3 Bluetooth headphones. The Zik are some of the best wireless headphones out ther and have, in my opinion, raised the bar and set the standard for what a premium, mobile-friendly, Bluetooth headset can be, both in terms of sound quality and advanced technological features. It is a masterfully crafted pair of headphones that costs a pretty penny. However, now you don't have to spend a small fortune to get most of the same features that you get with the Zik 3. Enter the Phiaton BT 460 headphones ($199), which offer almost every single feature that the more expensive Parrot Zik 3 do, but at half the price.
There is never a shortage of quality headphones at CES, and because of this, narrowing things down to the best Bluetooth and wired headphones can be a challenge. Out of the plethora of options to choose from, I've selected two of my favorite headphones from this year's CES show floor: a wired pair and a Bluetooth pair.
For people who spend time a lot time on the phone at work or in traditional audio calls delivered through Voice over IP (VoIP), Facetime, or on any of the dozens of audio and video conferencing services, Plantronics has recently shipped the ultimate accessory: the Voyager Focus UC ($299.95).
Aegis Acoustics headphones were designed by 16-year-old Kingsley Cheng as a stylish-but-safe way listen to music. "The American Academy of Audiology reports that approximately 12 percent of all children ages 6–19 have noise-induced hearing loss. We're here to change all that and make listening safe," said Kingsley in a recent press release.
Wood has a subtle, yet amazing propensity for being able to enhance the richness and resonance of sound waves. It's no wonder that so many beautiful-sounding instruments are made of wood, nor is it any wonder that so many speaker designs utilize wood enclosures to make the sound come alive. As you might imagine, headphones are no different and those that do incorporate wood into their speaker housing tend to have more naturally balanced acoustics. Recently I was turned on to a new arrival in the category of wooden headphones; the OEHP, (short for Over Ear Headphones) by Grain Audio. I put them through their paces, using them for several weeks as my primary iPad headphones, find out how they measure up after the break.
I recently had the opportunity to chat with Antonio Meze, the extremely talented designer of Meze ebony wood headphones. Antonio Meze is both a classic-modernist designer as well as a musician and audiophile, all of which is apparent the moment you put on a pair of his headphones. The quality of craftsmanship is simply exceptional, as is the quality of sound!

Fall for Books — Especially Banned Ones!
Today is the first day of autumn — and the perfect day to fall into the leaves of a book as it is also Banned Books Week!
Censorship leaves us in the dark. Keep the lights on!
Banned Books Week calls attention recent as well as older books that have been banned. The ALA (American Library Association) offers many resources to publicize and explain the event as well as the importance of standing up to challenges to remove books from libraries — and from the hands of readers. Below is an example of one such resource from the ALA website:
The following is from the American Libraries Magazine article "50 Years of Intellectual Freedom," written by OIF staff celebrating the office's anniversary.
Banned Books Week was launched in the 1980s, a time of increased challenges, organized protests, and the Island Trees School District v. Pico (1982) Supreme Court case, which ruled that school officials can't ban books in libraries simply because of their content.
Banned books were showcased at the 1982 American Booksellers Association (ABA) BookExpo America trade show in Anaheim, California. At the entrance to the convention center towered large, padlocked metal cages, with some 500 challenged books stacked inside and a large overhead sign cautioning that some people considered these books dangerous.
Drawing on the success of the exhibit, ABA invited OIF Director Judith Krug to join a new initiative called Banned Books Week, along with the National Association of College Stores. The three organizations scrambled to put something together by the September show date and ended up distributing a news release and a publicity kit, hoping that with their combined membership of 50,000 people, they could continue to spark a conversation about banned books.
The initiative took off. Institutions and stores hosted read-outs, and window displays morphed into literary graveyards or mysterious collections of brown-bagged books. Major news outlets such as PBS and the New York Times covered the event, and mayors and governors issued proclamations affirming the week.
ALA is currently part of a national coalition to promote Banned Books Week, along with 14 other contributors and sponsors. Krug led the Banned Books Week efforts as OIF director until her unexpected death in 2009. Her legacy lives on in the Freedom to Read Foundation's Judith F. Krug Memorial Fund, a grant awarded to nonprofits to host Banned Books Week events.
Today, Banned Books Week coverage by mainstream media reaches an estimated 2.8 billion readers, and more than 90,000 publishing industry and library subscribers. The Banned Books page remains one of the top two most popular pages on the ALA website.
Books are still being banned and challenged today. A challenge is an attempt to remove or restrict materials, based upon the objections of a person or group. A banning is the removal of those materials.
While books have been and continue to be banned, part of the Banned Books Week celebration is the fact that, in a majority of cases, the books have remained available. This happens only thanks to the efforts of librarians, teachers, students, and community members who stand up and speak out for the freedom to read.
Frequently Challenged Books
Top 10 Most Challenged Books
In my classes, I place a HUGE emphasis on reading real books — not reading from readers or handouts or online sources, but real books that I hope students will buy and own and annotate and have on their bookshelves to enjoy and share. Of course, budget wise, many students choose to buy online versions of books. But still, we are reading books — and this semester, students are reading four of them.
We're all reading The Everyday Writer by Andrea Lunsford 6thedition and then students are choosing to read one of the following with a group of students reading the same book:
Wild Mind: Living the Writer's Life by Natalie Goldberg
Bird by Birdby Anne Lamott
The Craft of Revision by Donald M. Murray (not in VC bookstore)
On Writing by Stephen King
Next students chose an EARTH ACTION BOOKS from the following which they have been reading for two weeks and will be responding to this week. They will be reading this book at their own pace but it is expected that they will be done with it before Thanksgiving as they will be writing a review of it in mid-November and presenting about it on the Monday after Thanksgiving:
Gyre: The Plastic Ocean edited by Julie Decker (2014)
The Nature Fix by Florence Williams
Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv
Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Lifeby Barbara Kingsolver (2007)
The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural Historyby Elizabeth Kolbert (2015)
This week they will choose their fourth and final book from the following BOOK CLUB BOOKS — and again they will be in a group with other students to read the book and present about it to the class on Monday Oct. 28. This gives them a month to read the book and prepare to present it:
Violence Girlby Alice Bag (2011)
Boy About Town by Tony Fletcher (2014)
Bad Indians by Deborah Miranda (2012)
Life By The Cup by Zhena Muzyka (2014)
Always Running by Luis Rodriguez (1993)
Wildby Cheryl Strayed (2012)
Let My People Go Surfing by Yvon Chouinard (2005)
So which book or books do YOU want to read?
Today I'll ask students to research the books in the lab and then to tell me:
which book is first choice to read and why,
which book is second choice to read and why
which book is a NO NO NEVER and why,
who to work with and why
who NOT to work with
whether who to work with is more important than what read
It's always interesting to me to learn which books interest students. In general, these are perennial favorites but the make-up of every class is different — and so are their choices and their presentations as they reflect who the students are and what matters to them.
And what am I reading? I always have a pile of books going — and I read articles, magazines, and the newspaper voraciously as well. Two books on this list are new to me so I am focusing on reading those first:
So what are you falling for this fall?

We have SharePoint 2010 farm with Project server 2010 and Office Web Apps 2010 installed. Patched to SP2.
Since OWA 2010 SP2 was released at 2013, we are planning to patch the 27 missing updates from 2013 up to now.
May I know the updates (e.g. MS16-133: Description of the security update for SharePoint Server 2010 Office Web Apps: November 8, 2016) are cumulative updates? Do I need to patch all 27 updates one by one in release order?
Also, may I know the suggested procedure to update OWA? For SharePoint patch we need to run configuration wizard but do I need for OWA?
I guess you have already know an answer, but someone like me could find this useful. I can confirm that patches for Office Web Apps 2010 and 2013 are cumulative, so you need to install only the most recent one. Although it doesn't have a title of "cumulative update" itself, when you read KB description page for the patch, you will find a hint like this: "This security update replaces previously released security update" or "For the list of files this cumulative update KBxxxxxxx contains, download the file information"
Not the answer you're looking for? Browse other questions tagged office-web-apps cumulative-update update patching or ask your own question.

Thrillbent Comics now featured on comiXology
Jason December 19, 2012	Comics, News Leave a comment 1,255 Views
Comic industry vet Mark Waid's publishing brand Thrillbent is now featured on e-reader platform du jour comiXology.
To celebrate the new partnership between the two companies, Thrillbent is re-releasing it's popular Insufferable series from creator Peter Krause. The book follows an estranged superhero father and son who have to reunite to tackle a big case.
I haven't read Insufferable, but it sounds like it might be a lot of fun. Even if you have read the comic though, you still might be interested in the re-issue since there'll be all new bonus material and it'll be presented in a brand new HD format.
"Mark Waid is one of the premier comic creators of our time and it's an honor to feature Thrillbent across the entire comiXology platform," says comiXology co-founder and CEO David Steinberger, "Waid made waves when he announced his digital-only line of comics and it's only natural for us to give the Thrillbent line the comiXology Guided View experience and global reach."
"When we launched Thrillbent.com, our goal was to get expertly crafted creator-owned comics in the hands of readers worldwide, and we see comiXology as the perfect avenue to help reach that goal," said Thrillbent co-founder Mark Waid. "Thrillbent's unique style of comics storytelling is a great fit to comiXology's Guided View, and I know fans everywhere will be astonished by the digital comics evolution both companies are spearheading. You've never seen anything like what we can do together."
Sounds like some great stuff and Waid's been in the comic industry for a long, long time. The guy knows comics and personally, I can't wait to see what Insufferable is all about. If you can't either, you can just mosey on over to the comiXology page for the newly hosted series right here.

The time is ripe, perhaps, to review the development which has taken place since the Essential Oil Symposium started in 1969—and try to see a little ahead. After all, the future will be built on the present, and the present has emerged from the past. Winston Churchill expressed it as follows: "The longer you can look back, the further you can see ahead. " This holds true also for us.
In the beginning On September 30, 1969, four enthusiastic pharmacognosists, F. W. Hefendehl from the University of Freiburg, FRG; K.-H. Kubeczka from tbe Technical University of Karlsruhe, FRG; J. Karlsen and A. Baerheim Svendsen, both from the State University of Leiden, The Netherlands, came together in Leiden and agreed to organize informal annual meetings to discuss common, mostly practical analytical problems encountered in essential oil research.
Rather than create a new organization or society, the four scientists found it convenient to arrange meetings in connection with the congresses of the Gesellschaft für Arzneipflanzenforschnung. During the first meeting in Leiden it was decided that only scientists who were personally experimentally involved in research should be invited to participate in the meetings, since only they could contribute substantially to the discussions.

We receive & purchase food from a range of sources including food drives, the USDA, farmers, retailers, and wholesalers.
We are the central location for local agencies, such as food cupboards, that serve the hungry & food insecure of Chester County.
We strive to educate and address the root causes of hunger through our nutrition and education programs and by working to strengthen our community food systems.
Through partnerships with our food and fund donors, and the strategic infrastructure of our distribution systems, we are able to efficiently process and move food and resources throughout our county.

April is National Volunteer Month! We'd like to take this opportunity to celebrate and show appreciation for our dedicated volunteers, and to highlight the importance of an ongoing commitment to volunteering. We are only able to address food insecurity in Chester County because of the immense support that we receive from both volunteers and donors alike. Without committed volunteers who return month after month, year after year…there simply would not be a Chester County Food Bank!
Did you know that there's a dollar amount equivalent to volunteer service? The estimated value of volunteer service in Pennsylvania is $24.35/hour. That amounts to $430,508 of estimated value volunteer hours for the Chester County Food Bank in 2018!
2 million people volunteered at least once between September 2014-2015, which equals a national volunteer rate of just under 25%. Impressive!
The volunteer rate for women is about 27.8%, while the rate for men is 21.8%. Gotta catch up, gentlemen!
Adults between the ages of 35-54 are most likely to volunteer, while young adults are the least likely to serve.
Have more questions about volunteering? Email Lauren Van Dyk our volunteer coordinator or call 610-873-6000.
We are always inspired by our volunteers. Here are a few famous quotes to inspire you to GET INVOLVED.
"Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more." ― H. Jackson Brown Jr.
"Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love." – Martin Luther King, Jr.
Want to learn more? Sign up for our newsletter and stay connected. You can also donate food, funds and time to help us achieve our mission. Call 610-873-6000 to speak to someone about getting involved or requesting a tour. Thanks to you, we're growing a healthier community.
The Chester County Food Bank is the central hunger relief organization serving more than 120 food cupboards, meal sites and social service organizations throughout Chester County. We mobilize our community to ensure access to real, healthy food.
Sign up to receive our newsletter, stay in-the-know about Food Bank happenings and learn about food insecurity in our community.
