Ten reasons why Devendra Fadnavis deserves a re-election in 2019
Mandar Sawant 4 months ago 1.2k Views
We are less than two months away from the Maharashtra assembly election and the state politics is hotting up by the day. The BJP and Shiv Sena are engaged in a a game of wits over the seat sharing formula for the assembly election. It is still not clear if they would ally pre-poll or fight elections seperately to come together post-poll. The Congress and NCP are gasping to prevent the haemorrhage of leaders from their ranks. Attempts made by the Congress and Sharad Pawar to get Prakash Ambedkar on board have been rebuffed by the later. However increasingly the deep chasm between the current Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and other political leaders in the state, is getting even wider. As with Narendra Modi at the national level, there is no alternative available for Fadnavis in Maharashtra.
Devendra Fadnavis who started out as one among many equals in the BJP in 2014 has since consolidated his position as the numero uno at the state level for the BJP. Fadnavis could become the chief minister as the biggest BJP leader Gopinath Munde passed away just before the assembly elections in 2014. Fadnavis will be the first non-Congress CM to complete his five year tenure. He would also be the second CM to complete his single five year term after Vasantrao Naik of the Congress (who had a 11 year tenure in total).
As things stand, it seems likely that Devendra Fadnavis will return for a second term as Chief Minister. Given his track record in the last five years, Fadnavis deserves a second term. Here are ten reasons why Fadnavis deserves a second tenure,
Creation of huge metro network in urban areas: Maharashtra was lagging behind other states in terms of a serious metro network in the urban areas in 2014, when Fadnavis took over. The only functional metro railway line was the 11 km Versova-Ghatkopar metro line. The line had taken seven years to build and was made functional just before the 2014 assembly election. The line was super successful in terms of traffic but there was no comprehensive planning to build a network of metro lines in important urban centres. Other cities like Pune and Nagpur did not even figure on the metro map. Plans were made on paper but never progressed beyond the planning table. Finally Devendra Fadnavis started planning for a futuristic metro network in major metros of Maharashtra. Mumbai would have approximately 250 km of metro network by 2025. The individual lines will start getting operational in the year 2020 onwards and would connect all parts of Mumbai with distant suburbs like Virar, Bhiwandi, Kalyan and Badlapur etc. Similarly Pune will have three metro lines totalling 54.58 km and Nagpur will have three metro lines totalling 56.5 km. By the year 2025, metro railway may emerge as the number one public transport medium in the main cities of Maharashtra.
Major infraprojects like Samruddhi mahamarg: The biggest infrastructure project started by Devendra Fadnavis isthe Mumbai-Nagpur Super Communication Expressway, also called as the "Samruddhi Mahamarg" (literally translated as the Expressway to Prosperity). The expressway is a 701 km long six lane road and passes through the under developed districts of Maharashtra, in Konkan, North Maharashtra, Marathwada and Vidarbha. These districts will get direct connectivity to the country's largest container port terminal JNPT. Such a big expressway will bring prosperity to these areas. Imagine being able to export oranges from Nagpur via JNPT in less than one day. Also other important highway project is the four laning of the Mumbai-Goa highway, with help of NHAI. Fadnavis government in conjunction with the central government is working to improve the fortunes of the under developed areas of the state.
Expediting delayed projects in Mumbai: Mumbai with it's huge population was choking under it's own burden. Travelling in Mumbai in packed local trains or on traffucked highways has increasingly become difficult. Many infra projects wer planned in the 1960s or 70s, but were never implemented. This includes projects like the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL), metro train network and the coastal road. Such projects were brought closer to implementation by Devendra Fadnavis. Fadnavis started his own war room where interns would rub shoulders with bureaucrats and this unique combination of youthful energy and experience would drive quick implementation of infraprojects. The metro network in Mumbai that will be fully ready by the year 2025 will rival the passenger carrying capacity of the suburban train network that has been around for 150 plus years. These infraprojects would help Mumbai to regain its erstwhile prestige and give it's citizens a better quality of life.
Micro irrigation revolution in drought hit areas: Maharashtra has been a water deficient state with 19,000 out of the 25,000 villages suffering from a deficit of water for irrigation and drinking purposes. The approach of the past state governments has been to build big dams that led to big scams but hardly any increase in the irrigation capacity of the state. Fadnavis government started the JalYuktShivar movement which was essentially building micro irrigation structures at the village level to stop rain water and increase the water table. The micro irrigation structures were built after doing water budgetting of a particular village, taking the villagers on board. About 12,000 villages have built such micro-irrigation structures to hold rain water and increase the ground absorption of water. Also thousands of farm ponds were created throughout the state by giving subsidy to the farmers. Good rains have meant that such villages have been able to get extra crops through the year. NGOs like Paani Foundation (actor Aamir Khan is related to this NGO), NAAM Foundation (actors Nana Patekar and Makarand Anaspure are related with it), Art of Living have also worked with many villages in this initiative.
Tackling Co-operative sector issue and farm loan waiver: Congress and NCP have been controlling the co-operative network across Maharashtra for decades. This gave them control over the fate of farmers, who were blackmailed to vote for Congress-NCP. For example, any sugarcane farmer not voting for the Congress-NCP would face problems in sugarcane procurement by the sugar mills. The APMC act in Maharashtra forced farmers to compulsorily sell agricultural produce like vegetables and fruits to the APMC yard, where the traders would not pay them fair price. Fadnavis government amended this rule to provide an option to the farmers to sell fruits and vegetables directly to the consumers. The farmers formed co-operatives of their own or tied up with Farmers Producer Organisations (FPO) to sell their produce directly to urban consumers. Attempts were made to clean the APMC boards of Congress-NCP nominees. The farm waiver given by the Fadnavis government was provided directly to farmer's bank accounts, after doing an Aadhaar card based verification. This weeded out thousands of false accounts and reduced leakage of government funds.
Resolving Maratha reservation tangle: The larger Maratha community (including Kunbis) form about 32% of the state population. This huge block of voters backed the Congress-NCP in successive elections. However, a significant number of Maratha voters started shifting to the BJP, due to the influence of PM Narendra Modi. The Congress-NCP was playing around with the issue of Maratha reservation for many years. They passed the Maratha Reservation bill in 2014 but it could not stand the test of the judiciary. It took a Brahmin Chief Minister in the form of Devendra Fadnavis to implement the 16% reservation for Maratha community. The socially and economically backward criteria (SEBC) was used for the quota and the Fadnavis government followed the proper procedure, so that the reservation could stand the test of the judiciary. The Bombay High court ratified the Maratha reservation but reduced the quantum to 13%. Post the reservation, it has been observed that Maratha voters are moving towards BJP in large numbers. This is confirmed by the fact that many Maratha leaders from the Congress and NCP are joinging the BJP. Usually leaders follow the migration of the voters towards any political party. Same is happening in this case as about 60% of the Maratha voters votes for the BJP-Shiv Sena.
Audacious plan to make Maharashtra drought free: Maharashtra has drought prone areas like North Maharashtra, Marathwada and Vidarbha along with some taluks of Satara and Solapur. The state government has made an audacious plan to address the drought problem of the state. The excess water of the western Konkan rivers like Nar-Par, Vaitarna will be transferred to the Godavari basin via combination of lift irrigation scheme, tunnels and canals. This will provide water to North Maharashtra, Mumbai (will take care of city's water needs till the year 2060) and Marathwada. This year heavy rains in Nashik and Ahmednagar district meant that excess water flowed from the Godavari basin into the catchment of the Jayakwadi dam in Marathwada (situated in Paithan) and filled it up to 91% of capacity, despite less rains in Marathwada region. Already the state government has kickstarted a project with Israeli help to connect all dams in Marathwada via pipelines. So the excess water that will flow into Jayakwadi dam through the Godavari basin would then will be transferred to the other dams of Marathwada through the proposed pipeline linkages. The state government has also planned to provide water to Western and Eastern Vidarbha using the Wainganga-Nalganga river link project. These measures could mean that most of the drought prone villages will be freed of drought in the next five years.
BJP is now the elder brother in the saffron alliance: BJP has been on a roll in winning elections at all levels in the state. Be it the gram panchayat election, zilla parishad, local body/ municipality elections or the Lok Sabha elections; BJP has been winning all of them in the last five years. BJP won most of the municipality elections since 2017, primarily by presenting the face of Devendra Fadnavis. BJP gave a close fight to the Shiv Sena in the BMC election of 2017, when they won 82 wards as compared to 84 for the Sena. This was a huge jump as compared to earlier elections when BJP used to fight lesser number of seats in alliance with the Sena. BJP has clearly established themselves as the elder brother in the saffron alliance in the last five years. Even the Shiv Sena would want to contest in alliance with the BJP if given a choice. Winning on the goodwill of Modi and Fadnavis is a prime factor because of which the Shiv Sena aligned with the BJP in the 2019 Lok Sabha election.
Weakening opposition parties by poaching leaders: The migration of Congress and NCP leaders towards the BJP and the Shiv Sena started just before the Lok Sabha election. The process has quickened now and hordes of NCP and Congress leaders have already joined the saffron parties or are on their way to joining the ruling parties. The second tenure of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has fastened this process. In addition, the personal popularity of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has convinced the Congress & NCP leaders and MLAs that the BJP will return to power in the state this year. Five more years in the opposition has unnerved these leaders especially since the policies of Rahul Gandhi and Sharad Pawar are no longer getting any traction among the voters. Fadnavis has managed to strike a balance till now with just one out of thirty BJP ministers being a turncoat. Only RadhaKrishna Vikhe Patil the ex LoP and a leader of good reputation has found his way in the Fadnavis cabinet. Other leaders who joined in 2014 have not been made ministers.
Bold vision of making Maharashtra a $1 trillion dollar economy: As Prime Minister Narendra Modi has articulated his plan to make India a $5 trillion economy, Fadnavis has also given out his vision of making Maharashtra a $1 trillion economy in the next five years. The estimated GDP of Maharashtra in 2019-20 is $430 billion. To reach the target of 1 trillion will be a major challenge but Fadnavis relishes such challenges. He has already planned / implementing a series of infraprojects in urban and rural areas. Infrastructure like highways, railways, airports and ports are needed to attract industry. Maharashtra needs a combination of manufacturing and services industries to reach the target of $1 trillion. Knowledge industries like IT and pharma have further scope in Maharashtra. The state government can work to promote a healthy startup culture in the state. There is a huge potential for tourism in the state of Maharashtra with it's varied landscapes. The state has sunny beaches and cold hill stations and is a treasure trove of temples and religious monuments. The great leap of the state economy is a work in progress and will receive a huge fillip in the second term of Devendra Fadnavis.
In my personal opinion, formed after having followed Maharashtra politics since 1995; Devendra Fadnavis is the best chief minister Maharashtra has had in the last 25 years. A second term for Fadnavis would mean a prosperous and better Maharashtra. Fadnavis is a rare chief minister who can speak on the problems faced by urban and rural areas with similar ease and is ready with the solutions. Fadnavis has mirrored the work style of Modi at the state level and has left his political contemporaries in Maharashtra way behind. Hence, I would endorse a second term for Devendra Fadnavis as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra in 2019.

Broncos' Demaryius Thomas takes trade rumors in stride

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The longest-tenured Bronco isn't sure if he'll be in Denver much longer as rumors swirl that wide receiver Demaryius Thomas is available as the NFL's trade deadline approaches next week.
"It's football. It's a business. That's what happens," Thomas said Monday of the trade buzz. "That's what happens. It's happened before. I never think it would happen to me. But I'm just like everybody else. I'm an athlete and it happens once you get older."
On Monday, the Dallas Cowboys acquired 24-year-old Amari Cooper from Oakland for a 2019 first-round draft pick, taking the top available receiver off the market.
Although Thomas, 30, is averaging a career-low 11.3 yards per catch as Broncos rookie Courtland Sutton carves out a bigger role in Denver's offense, Thomas is tied with Emmanuel Sanders for the team lead with three touchdown receptions.
Coach Vance Joseph said he doesn't need to address the trade rumors with his players.
"I don't. I really don't. It's rumors. It's gossip. It doesn't matter to our football team, really," Joseph said. "Our only concern is the Chiefs, and that's on Sunday. But, this time of the year, I watched the games on Sunday obviously. There's a lot of rumors out there, a lot of gossip, a lot of content for different shows.
"Until those things happen, we can't address them or worry about them."
Joseph meets daily with general manager John Elway and said the boss hasn't conveyed any trade talks to him.
"He has not," Joseph said. "That makes it rumor. That makes it gossip. And that makes it right now something that we can't worry about."
Thomas, who has a $12.5 million salary cap hit this year and a $17.5 million hit next season, said he'd be flattered if other teams are indeed inquiring about him.
"I didn't know that, but it's a good thing if somebody is interested in me, and I can still play ball," Thomas said. "I still have a chance if I get traded. Of course, I want to be here, but you know."
The Broncos (3-4) ended a four-game skid with a 45-10 rout of the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday night. It marked their first game scoring 30 or more points since Week 2 last season against Dallas.
In between, they lost 15 of 20 games, the worst stretch of Thomas' nine-year career in Denver.
Thomas said he's keeping his focus on Sunday's game at Kansas City (6—1) even with next Tuesday's trade deadline looming.
"I play for these guys in the locker room, and the organization, of course," Thomas said. "But these guys in the locker room keep my head on straight, help me not think about it and just go on about my business, control what I can control. That's all I do. Every day, in and out, I can control what I can control.
"The rest will pan out for itself."
Thomas, who was selected 22nd overall out of Georgia Tech in 2010, three spots ahead of Tim Tebow, has been through five coaches — Josh McDaniels, Eric Studesville, John Fox, Gary Kubiak and Joseph — and seven starting quarterbacks — Kyle Orton, Tebow, Peyton Manning, Brock Osweiler, Trevor Siemian, Paxton Lynch and Case Keenum — in Denver.
He started off slowly this year with a handful of drops through the first two games but has been solid and one of Keenum's most trustworthy targets over the last month.
Thomas said he was just too anxious early on.
"I'm just trying not to run without the ball," Thomas said. "The first three drops I had at the beginning of the season, I was trying to run without the ball. Now, I'm just making sure that I secure my catch and then go."
His preference, he said, is to finish his career in Denver.
"I'd love to be here," Thomas said. "I've been here my whole career."
Notes: The Broncos officially placed LG Ronald Leary (Achilles) on IR and replaced him with G/C Nico Falah, a rookie from USC whom they signed off the Jets practice squad. … Joseph said CB Adam Jones will return to practice Wednesday for the first time in two weeks. … Injured players who are day-to-day are: S Darian Stewart (neck), RB Royce Freeman (high ankle sprain), WR DaeSean Hamilton (right MCL sprain), RT Jared Veldheer (knee) and OLB Shane Ray (right ankle sprain).

Who Is Son Of Baldwin And Why We Should Listen Up?
by Kai Smith January 23, 2017, 10:00 am 740 Views 2 Comments
EmailPinterest
There is a need for a voice that is unapologetic yet sincere, relatable yet personal. Son of Baldwin fills this void. As the top writer in topics concerning BlackLivesMatter, Racism and Politics on his online platform medium.com, he takes us into a world of truth that's pretty difficult to escape. He says, "if there's anything I learned about the Internet and social media, lies travel much faster and much farther than the truth."
Son of Baldwin serves candidness with stories like one entitled "I'm Terrified to Tell You that I'm a Rape Survivor Because I'm Afraid You're Going to Judge Me Negatively, Deny My Experience, and Care More About Not Having Your Favorite Celebrities Interrogated or Your Entertainment Disrupted, but I'm Going to Take a Chance and Tell You Anyway." He tells it like it is, has been and always should be.
In the words of the late, great James Baldwin: "You write in order to change the world… if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way people look at reality, then you can change it."
What's the meaning behind your pseudonym, Son of Baldwin?
The pseudonym "Son of Baldwin" speaks to writer/activist James Baldwin's call to "find him in the wreckage" and continue ancestral tradition of activism, anger, art, criticism, disturbance, identity, joy, love, outrage, politics, reconciliation, and sexuality from the perspective of a black queer man. In many ways, Son of Baldwin is a direct tribute to James Baldwin while, simultaneously, forging its own, distinct path.
Toni Morrison says, "I'm writing for black people… I don't have to apologize." For whom are you writing? What is your ideal audience?
I don't think I'm actually speaking "for" anyone. Rather, I think I'm speaking to and with black queer people first, foremost, and primarily. I like the idea of having conversations, rather than me separating myself from the group and claiming to speak on their behalf. Sure, I may start and lead these conversations. I may be the one asking the first question, but I'd like to think that I'm seated at the circle rather than standing in the center of it, if that makes any sense.
Your writing is based heavily on self-reflection and experiential accounts. How do you find a neutral balance between subjective and objective writing.
Honestly, I don't believe there's any such thing as "objective writing." I think we tend to mistake lack of emotion or passion, or the attempt to remove oneself from the narrative, as objectivity. Even items that merely catalog data are subjective. Whenever and wherever there is a human being involved in creating anything, whether it be writing or some other artifact, I believe the product is inherently subjective.
Additionally, there are things that I have absolutely no interest in attempting to be objective about. Bigotry is chief among those things. I think part of the reason we are in the state of messiness that we are currently in comes from this notion that bigotry and anti-bigotry are equally moral and valid propositions. I find such beliefs inherently flawed and designed to maintain the most evil aspects of the status quo. So, I'm less interested in "balance" than I am articulating truths as I experience them. From my perspective, "balance" has become euphemism for legitimizing bigotry.
How (or has) your language changed or become more charged since the rise of our new President?
The first thing that has changed is that I've developed a desire to not to give that man any more of my energy. I won't even say his name. I believe he is a parasite that feeds off of even our disgust of him. So, instead, I will focus on how to counteract the bigoted policies, of him and his cabal, which are surely coming, rather than waste time being outraged at every unbelievably vile word that comes out of his mouth, which I think is a purposeful distraction designed to keep up occupied and offended while his demons do their dirty work as our heads are turned.
What has been the experience of having your own following as a writer?
It's been interesting. On the one hand, I've received a great deal of support and I think I've been able to improve my skills as a writer after receiving constructive criticism from readers. On the other hand, you become a target of other people's distortions, falsehoods, hostility, insecurities, and misconceptions. And if there's anything I learned about the Internet and social media, lies travel much faster and much farther than the truth. So the experience of having an online following as a writer has definitely been a case of being willing to take the dirty with the dope.
In her essay, Flibbertigibbet in a White Room / Competencies, Simone White wrote, "It is total bullshit to enjoy being in a social or creative community that is segregated the way poetry is segregated." Does your own work lead you toward or away from segregation?
This question makes me think about the necessity for safer spaces. I believe marginalized peoples need and deserve spaces unavailable to the dominant cultures and dominant peoples, spaces where we can exhale, laugh, relax, ruminate, be artistic, dance, argue, plan, strategize, commune, love, and think. In that sense, I think segregation is important. Integration comes at a great price and usually involves the dominant culture dominating, appropriating, and erasing not only our contributions, but also doing those things to us. A peculiar kind of integration leads to genocide–whether emotional, physical, psychological, or spiritual. There is a point of view that demands we remain in dialogue with people who despise us as a means to, I'm not sure, change their minds, maybe? Convince them of our humanity? Reach a "compromise"? I'm not interested in any of that. It's not my job to convince people of the self-evident. My job is to move them out of the way if they refuse to acknowledge it. So I guess my work leads me toward segregation. And I'm not mad at that. My grandfather, who died in 2014 at the age of 96, told me that during segregation, the black community he came from was whole and thriving. He said it wasn't until integration that things, literally, fall apart. I believe him.
What (or who) has inspired your love for the written word?
My father, who passed away many years ago, bought me my very first comic book when I was four years old. I've been reading and collecting comic books ever since. Reading those comic books led me to want to write stories of my own. I was compelled to write as a child who was bullied for being black and queer. Writing was an escape from brutality. Additionally, reading my Aunt Jandel's poetry as a pre-teen also made me want to write. It wasn't until I encountered Toni Morrison and James Baldwin, however, that I thought that I could cultivate my talent for writing as art. Morrison and Baldwin are the bar that I reach for every time I write. I can't say if I'll ever reach them, but I'm going to forever try.
How do you use your platform to promote positivity in a time where rapists and police officers are habitually avoiding jail time.
I think underlying much of what we discuss at Son of Baldwin is the idea that as long as we have breath, we have an opportunity to effect positive change. Even when things seem hopeless, at least one of us has within us a solution that merely needs supporters. The most difficult part of the work is remaining hopeful, I think. And I can't say that I always am. I'm not always hopeful, in fact. I'm not always positive. But being alive gives me at least the chance to dare.
What is your ultimate goal as Son of Baldwin? What's next on the table?
I'd love to develop Son of Baldwin into its own, self-sustaining entity, outside of social media, on its own platform, similar to what Awesomely Luvvie has done with her property, but with a focus on black queer matters. I'd love to be able to bring on/pay a staff of moderators and writers and artists and thinkers to develop content with the expressed purpose of helping to achieve black queer liberation. I'm going to try to make that happen, but it's slow going because I work a full-time job (I have bills to pay! LOL!) and I'm also working on my own, personal work. I just finished my first novel and I'm in the process of meeting with literary agents. And I also started working on the second novel. So it's all just a matter of managing/finding the time.
What advice do you have to those whose rainbow is not enuf?
Shout out to the genius Ntozake Shange!
Keep in mind that there are colors in the rainbow that we cannot perceive with the five senses and so it is important to develop those other, less utilized tools, to help us through: blood memory is one; discernment is another. One of the things I've recently discerned is that the entire American identity is sculpted from the idea that who we intrinsically are as human beings is insufficient, that we are incomplete without some material thing, many material things that must be continuously purchased, to define us and make us whole. The first bit of advice would be this: Try to remember that even though the entire world is positioned to make you believe the opposite, you are, alone, because you exist, enuf. And your job is to pass that message on to some other person who feels erroneously incomplete, until it is finally, by everyone, believed.

Hey Friend!


On Monday, Covington's Urban Design Review Board met to review revised facade plans for 630 Madison Avenue where the former Wedding Mall currently stands. The Wedding Mall, a two-story commercial building built some time between 1920 and 1940, had its facade covered with a wrap in 2005. It is not considered to be a contributing building in the city's historic stock.
In January, Jim Guthrie of Hub + Weber Architects presented plans for a a closed courtyard that included demolition of the former Wedding Mall and the construction of a new facade with a cornice line that would align with the new Hotel Covington's at 638 Madison.
A storefront appearance would be kept with the facade broken up into three large bays, with the central bay serving as an entrance to the new courtyard space and the outer bays covered with a decorative metal screen.
A one-story glass addition would sit back into the courtyard and will be glass on all sides, approximately 48-feet long and 15-feet high and there would also be a metal awning and re-purposed siding installed on the exposed side of 638 Madison in the courtyard space for an outdoor bar area.
At that meeting, then city Historic Preservation Officer Beth Johnson recommended approval of the application with the conditions that the final screen design, as well as the material and colors for the cornice and metal be reviewed and approved by staff.
The UDRB instead opted to table the issue until more finalized details about the facade were available.
"That one looks like a bad 50s addition," board member Charles King said at the time, adding that he doesn't think it works or conforms to design guidelines.
Johnson recommended that the UDRB approve the facade with the condition that if the Kentucky Historic Preservation Office, which is reviewing the project for historic tax credit purposes, approves of the courtyard's design, then so would the UDRB.
The board instead voted to accept the developer's plans for installing windows where currently there are none on the hotel building, but placed a condition that the courtyard's facade would have to return for approval.
Yesterday, Guthrie returned with updated plans that were less contemporary. Rather than a decorative metal screen, the outer bay storefronts will remain glass and special attention will be paid to the cornice which was ornate on the original structure. The original cast iron columns will also remain and there will be no recessed areas on the facade.
The board unanimously approved the proposed changes and will submit the plans to city staff for review of materials and final approval.
Board unanimously approved all plans presented by Manoj Desai, owner of 437-439 Greenup Street. The plans call for the demolition and rebuilding of the existing wood structure on the rear facade, the rebuilding of the rear entrance, the demolition and rebuilding of the wood structure on the third floor of the building, and the removal of the existing tree on Greenup Street and the planting of replacement street trees.
Vote to allow the replacement of 10 existing windows on a property in the Mainstrasse Historic Overlay Zone at 948 Philadelphia Street with double hung, beige vinyl windows ended in a 3-3 tie. A motion to table the plans until the property owner provides a quote on aluminum clad windows was approved unanimously.
Plans for the construction of a roof deck addition on the 3rd story of the rear facade at 230 E. 2nd Street were unanimously approved by the board.

Peugeot  is a French manufacturer of scooters and small motorcycles. It is the largest manufacturer of scooters in Europe.

History

Peugeot built their first motorcycle in 1898 with a De Dion-Bouton engine mounted on the rear wheel. This model was shown at the 1898 Paris Exhibition but was not put into production. Peugeot did produce a tricycle in 1898 although most of the machine was actually manufactured by De Dion-Bouton.

In 1900 Peugeot started to manufacture quadricycles but these fell out of favor and ceased to be produced by 1903. In 1901, spurred on by the success of the French built Werner Brothers and Company Motobicyclette, Peugeot produced their own motorcycle using a Swiss made Zürcher and Lüthi (ZL) engine. The Peugeot 500 M, a  dual overhead camshaft model appeared in 1914, the first of this type. In 1930, Peugeot absorbed Automoto which had been a pioneer in the field of motorcycles and scooters. Peugeot was the leading French motorcycle manufacturer until the 1950s producing many models.

In June 1981 an agreement was signed with Honda which provided for the purchase of Japanese two-
stroke engines, variator transmission and electrical components to be installed in the Peugeot scooter.

In 1983 the new Peugeot SC was officially presented, the first scooter with plastic body of the French company equipped with a 50 and 80 cm³ two-stroke Honda engines and automatic gearbox; this mechanism derives from the Honda Lead (NH), produced in Japan from the previous year. The alliance with Honda will continue throughout the nineties, in fact the Japanese engines will also be used on the next Peugeot SV scooter, heir to the previous SC. In 2000 Peugeot will also market the Honda Foresight 250 scooter (produced in Atessa by Honda Industriale Italia) under its own brand as Peugeot SV 250.

On October 28, 2006, the "Jinan Qingqi Peugeot Motorcycle" was founded, a 50-50 joint venture between Peugeot Motocycle and Jinan Qingqi for the production of scooters in a new complex in Jinan intended for mainly European exports. The first models produced in China were the Peugeot 103 "Vogue" and the Kisbee, Citystar and V-Click scooters. Subsequently, the production of the Ludix and Django models was started.

In 2008 an agreement was signed with Sanyang Industry (SYM) for the production of scooters from 2009. This agreement provides for the supply of SYM technologies to Peugeot, specifically the Peugeot Tweet and LXR models are launched which are strictly derived respectively from the Taiwanese models SYM Symphony and SYM HD produced in China by SYM. The differences between the Taiwanese and French models are in a few design elements.

In December 2012, the Dannemarie engine plant where the 50 and 125 engines were manufactured was closed. Part of the production was relocated to China at the Jinan plant of the Qingqi-Peugeot Motocycles joint venture.

In October 2014, Mahindra and Mahindra acquired a 51% controlling stake in the company. PSA Group kept 49% stake in the company as well as the use of its brand image.

Peugeot currently produces scooters and 3-wheelers with engines ranging from 50 to 500cc. It operates 2 production sites at Mandeure, France and Jinan, China. Peugeot scooters are sold in 60 countries.

M&M subsequently acquired a 100% stake in 2019.

In November 2022, Munich-based private equity firm Mutares acquired 50 % equity of the company. This will give the German company 80 % controlling stake in Peugeot Motocycles.

Motorsports

A Peugeot-engined Norton motorcycle ridden by Rem Fowler won the twin-cylinder class of the inaugural 1907 Isle of Man TT races.

Peugeot returned to top-level motorcycle racing in 2016 via a Moto3 project in collaboration with parent company Mahindra. In 2016 Peugeot MC Saxoprint fielded two Mahindra-based Peugeot MGP3Os for John McPhee and Alexis Masbou. Albert Arenas joined the team for the 2nd half of the season as a replacement for Masbou. McPhee took his, and Peugeot's, first Grand Prix win in wet conditions at Brno. In Australia, McPhee crashed while running in third place and was run over by Andrea Migno who was running right behind him. The race was red flagged and McPhee was taken to hospital where he was diagnosed with concussion, a broken thumb and a punctured lung. The injuries meant McPhee missed the final 2 races of the season. Hafiq Azmi replace him in Malaysia and  Vicente Pérez replace him in Valencia

In 2017 Patrik Pulkkinen and Jakub Kornfeil rode for the team. At the end of the 2017 season both Peugeot and Mahindra withdrew from motorcycle grand prix. The decision to withdraw was made so that the Mahindra Group could increase its focus on the FIA Formula E Championship.

MOPITT is a nadir sounding instrument, which provides a horizontal resolution of 22 km, but introduces a number of challenges, such as the need for acurately characterizing the surface contribution to the signal.
Figure: MOPITT operates by sensing infrared radiation from either the thermal emission/absorption at 4.7 µm for CO profiles, or reflected sunlight at about 2.2-2.4 µm for CO and CH4 column measurements in daylight. The use of solar channels enhances the instrument sensitivity to the atmospheric boundary layer.
MOPITT uses correlation radiometry for the detection of CO and CH4.
Figure: Signals pass through a cell containing the target gas, CO or CH4. The cell pressure or length is varied, which produces a modulation in cell opacity within the lines of the target gas, while the cell opacity at other frequencies remains constant.
Optical components are moved in addition to cell gas leading to potential "imbalances"
MOPITT has 8 channels laid out on 2 optical benches.
The high and low opacity signals from each channel are both averaged and differenced, resulting in 8 D and 8 A signals.
Average signals are low at the line of interest, providing information about background radiance and interfering signals.
Difference signals have only significant response at the line of interest, providing information about the gas of interest.
The correlation cell pressure determines the portion of the pressure-broadened line wing that is sampled.
Using PMRs and LMRs with different pressures thus provides information about the vertical profile.
These are the weighting functions for the different cell pressures of the 6 CO channels.
MOPITT scans across the satellite flight track +/- 26.1 deg in 13 secs.

Questions Never Asked
An elderly couple get on each other's nerves, bicker, and occasionally enjoy simple moments like eating homemade ta'amiyya together. Their quiet lives revolve around fleeting visits by their two grown sons, trips to the hospital or to collect the pension, and mundane daily tasks like folding laundry, having breakfast, and watching lots of television. Retired government clerk Ustaz Khalil and his wife Ihsan have been married for over 40 years, but seem to still be something of a mystery to each other. Ustaz Khalil has a tendency to think too much about insignificant things and to share his thoughts with his wife. Ihsan is more pragmatic and blunt, exasperated by Khalil's musings and mocking him in a way that hurts his feelings. All this doesn't sound like material for great literature, but in the hands of Ibrahim Aslan it turns into the stuff of luminous art.
Readers familiar with Aslan's fiction will find his latest novella very familiar. Written in his trademark economical prose and very short chapters strung together by the thinnest of plots, Two Bedrooms and a Living Room: A Domestic Sequence is vintage Aslan. Nothing much happens: people eat, drink, and talk to each other; they go to weddings and funerals, they look at old photos, they argue and make up, and life goes on. The people about whom Aslan writes are utterly unexceptional. They're not "the marginalized", as lazy critics love to call them. They're certainly not the rich and pampered. And they're not downtrodden yet heroic peasants. They're just ordinary people, what sociologists would call the urban petit bourgeoisie but whom Aslan turns into some of the most compelling, hilarious, and moving portraits of human beings in literature.
As always with Aslan, we never get more than a few sentences to describe a character. His characters come alive through eerily real dialogue, dialogue that captures the absurdities and profundities of everyday conversation, the cadence of how real people speak. Characters are then made even more real with their many little tics: how they doze, how they like their fuul in the morning, what makes them scowl or smile, and when they feel puzzled, lonely, or at peace. Barely a couple of chapters into the novella, I felt like I was sitting in the old couple's living room, hearing them exchange a few words now and then as they move leisurely from the kitchen to the living room to one of the two bedrooms.
In a chapter titled "End of the Day," after a visit by their grown sons, Ustaz Khalil follows his wife into the old boys' room and asks her, "Did that boy Suleiman get taller?"
"Suleiman who?"
"Your son."
"What do you mean, get taller?"
"I mean is he taller than before?"
"Before what? When he was little?"
"No, taller than last month, for instance."
"Does someone still get taller when they're thirty?"
Abu Suleiman considered his words and asked her, "Then is it me who's gotten shorter?"
She looked him up and down and said, "How would I know?"
"I don't know if it's me who's gotten shorter or he's the one who's become taller."
"But how would I know?"
"From your point of view (and he straightened his back), am I like I used to be, or have I gotten slightly shorter?"
As he turned to leave the room she called after him, "Why don't you bring me a tape measure so that I can constantly measure you and measure him."
The 28 compact chapters each capture a mood, a moment, a lifetime of love and resentment condensed into barely four pages. When read in succession, they mimic the ups and downs of the couple's daily interactions, a relationship that the author neither stereotypes as bitter nor romanticizes as warm and awww-look-at-the-sweet-old-couple. Ihsan and Ustaz Khalil's is a real marriage, one marked by familiarity, comfortable silences, and not a little distance. A chapter in which Ihsan makes a touching peace offering to Ustaz Khalil is followed by one where she mocks his deliberativeness, followed by a chapter where Ustaz Khalil tears up at the thought of Ihsan dying and remembers her as a young woman. He methodically thinks through the steps of how he'll react once the inevitable happens. In the event, Khalil doesn't follow his sequence.
Aslan's depiction of Khalil's grief is breathtaking in its power. In a chapter titled "The Seamstress's Needle" immediately following Ihsan's funeral, Khalil opens the closet and stands gazing at the dress clothes that he now wears only on special occasions. He fingers a pair of dark slacks and finds a tear in them, and suddenly finds himself energized by the task of mending them since he hasn't mended anything since his youth. He pulls out the spool of black thread and needle from the old chocolate tin in the drawer where Ihsan kept them, puts on his reading glasses, and spends three hours trying to thread the needle, to no avail. The chapter ends with this arresting image of a man in mourning:
He nearly wept but stopped himself immediately so that his blood sugar wouldn't go up. He stuck the needle in the spool and put it in the old chocolate tin with the faded designs, and left it there in front of him without returning it to the drawer.
The second half of the book follows Khalil in the 40 days after Ihsan's death. He moves to their old apartment, gingerly reacquaints himself with old neighbors and friends, and tries to face life alone. He keeps himself company by living in his memories, of a time when he was surrounded by the din of his young wife and sons and assorted oddball neighbors. The novella's longest chapter is a haunting memory of Osta Mahmoud the cobbler, an old neighbor of Ustaz Khalil's who used to live across the hall and was unraveled by the death of his wife al-Hagga Thoraya.
I wouldn't be too quick to classify Two Bedrooms and a Living Room as a novella about aging. That's one dimension of this quiet little work. But I saw in it something more philosophical, a meditation on the regrets of a life decently but not quite fully lived. In a chapter titled "Side Alley," Ustaz Khalil puts on his starched white gallabiyya to go to the Friday prayers. On his way there, he spots a woman sitting on a stoop throwing her chickens bits of crusty old bread. He doesn't look at the woman, but his eyes follow a brown hen as it pecks to and fro. The call to prayer rouses him and he hurries off, but on his way back he musters the courage to ask the woman about the brown hen.
"Good day, hanem. Regarding the brown hen."
The woman looked at the hen and waited.
"I mean the brown hen."
"I wonder, is it your hen?"
"Who else's would it be?"
"Actually, just a question." He thought a bit and added, "Have you had it since it was a chick?"
"This is the answer I was looking for, nothing more, nothing less." And he remained standing.
The woman said in a low voice, somewhat suspiciously, "And why do you ask?"
"It's your right to know why I'm asking." He adjusted his glasses and said, "A long time ago ya sitti, we had a brown chick the same color as this hen. It was one of the chicks the hagga bought to raise them. That chick left and never came back, disappeared. And as I was passing by I spotted your brown hen, and it reminded me of the chick that left and never returned, and it occurred to me to ask you."
The woman relaxes somewhat and they strike up a friendly yet guarded, polite conversation. Before Ustaz Khalil makes to leave, he says to her:
"You see, I wasted at least 60 years of my life having these kinds of questions. I wanted to ask them but I wasn't able to, because I was embarrassed. This is a tragedy ya hanem, and the proof is what happened just now. Have you been harmed by the question?"
"God forbid anything bad like that."
"Because of this, ever since the death of the hagga I've decided that any question I have I ought to ask it right away. And you too, any question that preoccupies you, go ahead and ask it. That's my advice to you. Asking questions is never shameful. Is asking questions shameful?"
"I thank you. Salam 'Alaykum."

Last week's Star Baker, Marie Campbell, has caused controversy following the news that she received professional training before taking part in the show.
A contestant on The Great British Bake Off has received professional training
By Georgia Simpson	on	 August 10, 2015 Global News, News
Someone sound the scandal klaxon! A contestant on the new series of The Great British Bake Off has been accused of cheating due to her professional training at a top Parisian cookery school.
The Mail on Sunday has claimed that Marie Campbell – who won star baker this week for presenting judges, Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood, with a "perfect" Madeira cake and Black Forest gateau – once received training at the renowned Ecole Escoffier at the Ritz in Paris, where she specialised in patisserie.
It has also been reported that Campbell has gone on to run a school for chefs, as well as a cupcake baking business. If true, Campbell would arguably be breaking the rules of the amateur baking competition.
Campbell was named the first star baker of the series.
The BBC has rebutted this claim from The Mail, insisting that Campbell has not breached their rules because her training took place more than thirty years ago. The official entry form for the series states that contestants must not have any professional catering qualifications acquired within the last ten years. Applicants who work full time as bakers, cooks or chefs are also prohibited from competing. Those who gain their main source of income "from commercial baking in a professional environment" are barred too.
A BBC spokesman said: "There are strict criteria to take part in the show and Marie met those criteria. She gained a certificate for one week's training in Paris in 1984, more than 10 years ago. She has not worked professionally as a baker or chef."
Betting was suspended on The Great British Bake Off last week, amid suspicions that the name of the winner has already been leaked online. The opening episode of the series was watched by a mammoth 9.3 million viewers.
The Great British Bake Off airs on Wednesdays at 8pm on BBC One.

Q: How to check if the called action has a specific attribute in ASP.Net Core? I am trying to build my custom authorization middle ware in ASP.Net Core. Which checks if the called action (method in controller class) is tagged by [Authorize] attribute. I still do not have good ideas how can I implement that.
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env, ILoggerFactory loggerFactory)
{
    app.Use((context, next) =>
    {
        // if (THE CALLED ACTION HAS [Authorize] attribute)
        //     DO SOMETHING...
        return next();
    });

    app.UseMvcWithDefaultRoute();
}

Could some one give me any hint to implement the commented condition?

A: In general, if you need to check whether the action has an attribute, you need to use the action filter, not middleware.
Why? Cause action methods are part of MVC middleware and so action filters are. While standard middlewares don't know about MVC concept.

Archaeology and the Study of Ancient China

Archaeology is the study of the material remains of humanity's past. Excavated materials, along with other historical objects and text records, form the primary source material on Ancient China.
When did archaeology begin in China?
All the major dynasties, beginning with the Han dynasty (206 BCE–220 CE) kept historical records, documenting everything up until that time. These official histories were the primary source for Chinese history until a century ago. During the Song dynasty (960 CE–1279 CE), there was a serious effort to study the past (jinshixue – literally "metal/stone study") through objects and related texts. This resulted in a number of catalogues, including the first classification of ancient bronzes. Modern archaeology got underway in the late 19th century with the discovery of oracle bones, leading to the excavation of the Shang dynasty (ca. 1300–ca. 1050) tombs at Anyang. The writing on the oracle bones verified the existence of the Shang kings, which had been chronicled in the ancient historical texts. Since then, there has been a close relationship between the study of textual sources and archaeology.
Unlike other countries, China never had a huge influx of foreign archaeologists, with the notable exception of Swedish geologist, Johan Gunnar Andersson (1874–1960). He was involved in the famous discovery of homo erectus fossils at the cave of Zhoukoudian, southwest of Beijing, and excavated the site of Yangshao in Henan, one of the major cultural groups of the early Neolithic. The Academia Sinica, founded in 1928, excavated most of the tombs at Anyang, but moved to Taiwan in 1949 when the Nationalists were defeated by the Communists. Two institutions that took its place were the Bureau of Cultural Relics and the Institute of Archaeology. From 1962–82, the Institute was headed by Xia Nai. During his tenure, archaeologists began to interpret finds on the basis of type (building a chronological sequence on the basis of changes in the physical features of what one finds). Work was primarily concentrated on the Yellow river area, and interpretation followed the Marxist view of history. Recent Chinese archaeology has de-emphasized Marxist ideological concerns in favor of a more regional focus, with new areas of research focusing on the east coast, Sichuan province and the lower Yangzi region. Current archaeology has been advanced by the lifting of rules barring foreign archaeologists from working in China. However, the pace of industrial and economic development in China has escalated, resulting in increased rescue archaeology–rushing in to salvage what has been unearthed through building projects and trying to study as much as one can while temporarily abating development.
What methods do archaeologists use to locate possible sites and decipher finds?
Archaeologists use scientific methods by collecting and analysing data, conducting experiments and then forming hypotheses and conclusions. These are updated as new data emerges and over time, general patterns and trends emerge. Although the public is captivated by the idea of spectacular finds, most archaeological work is uneventful. The emphasis is on careful and systematic study of the site, and then publication of the research.
One of the most basic principles of archaeology is that of stratigraphy–the idea that layers of soil reveal layers of time. Because the history of China extends back thousands of years, habitations have built up on top of each other, creating layers or 'strata' of history in the ground. Objects found at a higher level, for example, would be newer than objects found below that level.
Since the middle of the 20th century, archaeology has developed a number of other techniques such as the study of organic remains. This allows one to interpret a site in terms of the human response to the natural environment. Photography, and more recently satellite-based imaging systems support documentation and mapping procedures. Surveying for sites is assisted by the use of core samples and remote sensing. Dating has been advanced by the use of radio-carbon and thermoluminescense.Modern archaeology is often carried out by teams of experts. Analysis of an site might involve the input of field archaeologists, art historians, conservators, geologists and other scientists. Teams of Chinese and foreign archaeologists are now working together.

Dorothy Mae Hall
HALL Dorothy Mae (Norris) Hall, of Fulton, Mo., went to be with the Lord at home on Wednesday, December 31, 2019, and was surrounded by family. Dorothy was born on April 11, 1927, to Martha and Herman Norris in Salem Missouri. She was joined in marriage on December 22, 1945, to James Winford Hall, and to this union two children were born: Herman LeRay Hall of Fulton Missouri and Rita Kaye (Hall) Thurman of Boonville, Missouri. Dorothy was a hard-working, adventurous woman who had a fierce love of family and the Lord. She enjoyed collecting dolls, especially Barbies. Dorothy always worked hard for her family as a homemaker making sure everyone was fed and needs were met. She placed an emphasis on the importance of higher education for her children. She also worked outside of the home and began her job at Rawlings Factory in August 1949. While working at the factory Dorothy sewed baseballs and worked her way up to the floor supervisor. She was involved in the production of the golden baseballs that were thrown out at the Cardinal's games and the World Series. Dorothy had the experience of meeting Stan Musial when he visited the plant to see the production of the golden baseballs. Upon the closing of the Rawlings Plant Number 3 in Licking, she helped with the successful relocation of the factory to Puerto Rico, and then began working at the Lee Clothing Factory in Houston Missouri until 1975. Dorothy and Wendy worked together to raise a herd of registered Angus cattle and continued to improve the Hall Angus farms. Dorothy inherited a love of horticulture from her father and enjoyed watching plants grow. Dorothy was a member of the First Baptist Church in Licking where she attended and taught Sunday school. She also participated in WMU. Dorothy was always up for an adventure and loved to travel. She was even known to ride roller coasters with her grandchildren. Dorothy also enjoyed hunting and fishing, and an occasional culinary delicacy of fried squirrel heads. She is survived by her children, Herman Hall and wife Janey of Fulton, Missouri and daughter Rita Thurman of Boonville, Missouri; her brother, Herman Norris Jr. and wife Donna of Wheatland, Missouri and sister Betty Ramsey of Springfield Missouri; grandchildren, Ellis Hall and wife Wren of Bolivar, Missouri, Heather (Hall) Hawn and husband Conway of Licking, Missouri, Lee Thurman and wife Melissa of Nixa, Missouri, and Victoria Sharp of Boonville, Missouri; great-grandchildren MacKenzie Hall, Emme Hall, Ryder Hall, Clifford Hawn, Christian Hawn, Hayden Thurman, Baylee Hash, Phallyn Sharp, and many nieces and nephews. She was a grandmother of the heart to Trey James, Shu-Ping Liu (Hope), Shu-Ching Kuo (Jocelyn) of Taiwan R.O.C., and Melody Seiger. Dorothy was preceded in death by her loving husband of 62 years, James Hall; parents, Martha and Herman Norris; brothers, Bill Norris and wife Norma, John Norris, Kenneth Norris, Carl Norris and wife Dorothy, Troy Norris and wife Melanie, and infant twins; sisters, Bernice Emery and husband Alex and Glenda Green and husband Charles; and son-in-law, Merrill Thurman. Services were held on Saturday, January 4, 2020, at 1:00 p.m. at the Fox Funeral Home in Licking Missouri with Dr. Ronald E. Baker and Rev. Guy Thomas of Fulton officiating. Visitation was held two hours prior beginning at 11:00 a.m. Pallbearers were grandsons, Ellis Hall and Lee Thurman; great-grandsons, Clifford Hawn, Ryder Hall, Hayden Thurman, and Christian Hawn. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Dorothy's name may be made to Union Cemetery (Norris Family Cemetery) c/o the Bank of Salem, Salem, Missouri.

It's not every day that a Grade I listed castle comes to the market. Set on its own private peninsula on the River Lynher, this Jacobean fortress was built by Henry Killigrew, who allegedly kept four wives there, one in each tower. It was altered in various eras, including under the Arts and Crafts architect Ernest Newton, and then in the 1960s following its acquisition by the Viscount and Viscountess Boyd, and finally after a serious fire in 1988. It's now a very fine home boasting lots of reception rooms, including a library and billiards room; 13 bedrooms, guest and staff flats, as well as a secondary house with five staff cottages. It's set in 91 acres of pasture, with river frontage and a private quay. Wow!
Set in walking distance of one of North Cornwall's trendiest surf resorts, this stylishly renovated five-bedroom home is a source of pride for the agents. Says Miles Kevin from Chartsedge: "We sold this property to our clients 10 years ago and they enjoyed it as a second home with their family and friends and earned an income from holiday letting. We sold it again this year to a lovely family from Cheshire who are now enjoying it with their family and friends, and are also letting it out when they are not using it." It was also a WMN Property of the Week, so a source of pride for us too.
Among a sea of period homes, here's a visionary contemporary building in walking distance of Salcombe town centre, with extensive terracing, a private rear garden, garage and great parking - key for this popular resort town. It commands glorious views over the Salcombe Estuary towards East Portlemouth, and the protected National Trust countryside beyond. So much intelligence in the design of this sunny five to six bedroom home, with no compromise on build quality: it's also got lots of whizzy features with modern lighting, underfloor heating, and special adjustments such as a place to wash and dry your wetsuit.
We also had the opportunity to get to know the vendors of this super Dartmoor property recently. It's rare to see a home that's so immaculately presented inside and out: Brinning Farm is a great opportunity for anyone who wants a country estate on a manageable scale. It comes with a five-bedroom house, landscaped gardens including a large pond, tennis court, stabling, garage, outbuildings, and 46 acres of land.
A national agent had this gorgeous Georgian on their books, before the vendors decided to switch to Westcountry-based Marchand Petit, where Waterfront & Country House leader Prunella Martin found them a buyer. The vendors wrote: "We have exchanged! Obviously the entire team worked very hard: but Prunella is a discerning dynamo who orchestrated the whole thing." Built in the 1820s as part of the Carew Pole estate, Ermecot House is an extended six-bedroom home with two-bedroom gatehouse, separate office, and super equestrian facilities.
Another agent change success story with a sale agreed. Home farm is an imaginatively modernised four-bedroom farmhouse with lovely views over the River Dart. In the 1.25 attractive acres are landscaped garden and paddock, all in a tranquil setting. Stags found the buyer that the national agent didn't.
Here's another of our Property of the Week features, where we got to know the vendors: the buyer will surely be enjoying the immaculately presented six-bedroom home in the Glynn Valley, with an annexe and great equestrian facilities including an outdoor school. Agents Kivells also arranged for a rental property for the vendors, and also for numerous items of machinery to be delivered to the Holsworthy Livestock Market for auction. The vendors attested: "We cannot speak highly enough of Sam and Claire from Kivells. Selling our property was not easy, but Sam's professionalism and tenacity brought it all to a successful conclusion.... they were the most professional of all the parties we have been involved with."
High summer is often a slow time for property sales, but this handsome home bucked the trend. Richard Addington of Jackson-Stops reports healthy competitive interest within two weeks of launching the property, which included a three-bedroom farmhouse, attached barn with potential, gardens, parkland and paddocks of about 4.5 acres. It was sold to a local buyer, and illustrates, says Richard, the strength of the market on East Dartmoor.
One viewing was all it took for this "best of breed" Cornish farmhouse, once belonging to the Tramayne family of Heligan fame. Plenty of space here, with six bedrooms and nearly 4,000 sq ft of accommodation. The splendid galleried reception hall is a real feature of this property; it also has two acres of fabulous lawned gardens with flower and vegetable beds, and outbuildings with conversion potential. It changed hands at the beginning of September.
There's a "sale agreed" on this remarkable building, once a tin smelting works. The various buildings have been imaginatively converted into a reverse level two-bedroom house, plus a separate potential three-bedroom house, also reverse level. The remaining buildings also have lots of possibilities. It's set in about half an acre with various courtyards, garden areas, and good parking, in the middle of both a SSSI and AONB.

The verification of the budgets of the proposals is carried out exclusively by XMAS's secretariat.
In such cases, one month notice is given for the completion of the file. The same deadline is also granted in case the script is deemed unfinished.

Proposals whose funding has been approved and in respect of which the relevant contracts have been signed can, in no case, be presented again before the Committee for additional funding.


Omake file 2. the comic. manga style.
Hi I'd like to use this (genius) comic in the hebrew translation of hpmor, if that's ok. I'll link back to here. Our site is [rationality . co . il] and this will go in chapter 10. If this is any problem then please contact me and I'll remove it (for example: info @ rationality . co . il). Thanks!

Sorting is my favourite part so far. This is great!
I laughed so hard while reading this omake.... The animations just make it so much funnier!
Is it just me, or does the sorting hat look like he's wearing sunglasses in the last three frames?
OMG! Thank you, thank you so much. When I read it, it wasn't as funny as when I saw this image.
Secretly 13, oh and also a girl, who raped him, then olbiviated him, and now she's pregnant. But, why?!
BishouXXX at the bottom right just sets it off perfectly. Beautiful finishing touch.
Oh god, Harry's reaction is the best thing ever!
From one of the best pieces of fan fiction on the internet.
Oh Draco...you wouldn't laugh if you heard what the hat said.
draco at the end XD The Omake files were hilarious!
I'd almost fallen out of my chair when I read that part. Great job!
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HARD I LAUGHED WHILE READING THIS.
Draco is played by a girl!
