Veerle Dejonghe traumatised after sexual assault
Actress Veerle Dejonghe state this week on the cover of dag allemaal. The magazine spoke with the actress about what her happened: the now 47-year-old actress was last year raped by a well known to her, by the way. The actress does as a result of the case Julie Of Espen her story in the weekly magazine. "When I heard about the murder of Julie Of Espen, the mental breakdown there something in me and came all the memories of my sexual assault to the top", tells the actress at All. "I will remain silent no longer, because the court fails: in spite of my declaration runs the offender is still at large. It asks if a victim of sexual violence a lot of courage to go to the police. If you do, you expect that the perpetrator will be punished. But in many cases, the perpetrators unpunished, and they can do their thing keep going."
To make matters worse, knew Veerle the offender. "He was a toogmakker, so to speak. A bit of a loner. He gave me compliments, but I made him always decisively clear that he is nothing in the head had to get. Yet, he tried in my life to penetrate," says Veerle on Day All. One day, the actress raped. Only a day later, Veerle complaint, go file it with the police. Although she was well taken care of, the perpetrator confessed to the facts even. But on the court he was, however, acquitted for sexual assault, huisvredebreuk and not providing help to someone in need. Spicy detail: the judge was a woman. The man in question walk free around and Veerle sees the man so regularly by its street driving. Even more, he's calling her and then hanging up the phone. The actress is angry at the legal system. "You almost asked the law into their own hands", is the response they provoked to wrath. "You'll end up in the cell, given three times per day food and a computer, you receive what degree's, … And after two years or earlier you can come free because of good behavior."

Tamiko Thiel is a visual artist exploring the interplay of place, space, the body, cultural memory, and identity. She is an internationally acknowledged pioneer in developing the dramatic and poetic capabilities of virtual and augmented realities to create spaces of memory for exploring social and cultural issues. Her virtual and augmented installations seek to reify the invisible webs of meaning that bind place and memory together to create what we call "culture," while actively engaging the viewer's kinesthetic body sense to meld this virtual imagery with the physical experience of a space or a site to create a new form of reality.
In her work she draws extensively on her own cross-cultural experiences as a mixed Asian & Caucasian artist living between Japan, the U.S., and Germany. Her work often deals with crossing boundaries: comparing the experiences of Japanese American and Iranian Americans as the "face of the enemy" in the work "Beyond Manzanar," colliding Dante's Christian constructs with Buddhist cosmology in "The Travels of Mariko Horo," examining East German versus West German experiences of the Berlin Wall in "Virtuelle Mauer/ReConstructing the Wall," or bringing the memory of censored artists and journalists back into the spaces from which they were banned in "Shades of Absence." Images of the garden as a lost paradise haunt many of her works, and issues of global warming and climate change are becoming more and more a concern in her art practice.
A founding member of artist group Manifest.AR, she participated in their path-breaking guerrilla augmented reality intervention at MoMA NY in 2010, and was main curator and organizer of their uninvited intervention at the Venice Biennial in 2011. Her artworks have been supported by institutions such as The MacDowell Colony, MIT Center for Advanced Visual Studies, WIRED Magazine, Goethe-Institut, Berlin Capital City Cultural Fund (Hauptstadtkulturfonds), Japan Foundation, IBM Innovation Award, Zero1 Biennial, Arts Council England, and FACT Liverpool. She has been augmented reality artistic advisor for the CCCADI project "Mi Querido Barrio" in Spanish Harlem/New York City, for which she helped win a Rockefeller Foundation Cultural Innovation Award. She has taught at institutions such as Carnegie Mellon University, the Bauhaus-University in Weimar/Germany, University of California/San Diego, the Berlin University of the Arts, and the School of Art, Design and Media (ADM) at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.

Socialistic Policy Only Worsen Economy
April 17, 2020 Kent McManigal
I appreciate those who are making a heroic effort to keep the economy running; putting their health and lives on the line for our benefit.
They are trying to make sure food and supplies are available when needed.
This is important when everything is going well; it is absolutely essential in a crisis.
They are life-savers and deserve our thanks, respect, and support.
They provide a stark contrast to those who are working around the clock to shut down the economy and punish any who dare try to keep life and business running as normally as possible. Those who impose and enforce economy-crushing policies and orders, using the pandemic as an excuse, are making things worse. They may pretend it's about saving lives, but their actions could cost lives in the long run.
When political officials — and government health officials are more political than medical — talk about the risk of deaths from COVID-19, they sometimes say some of those deaths will be balanced by the lives saved due to fewer traffic accidents and work-related deaths with more people staying home. This is all they consider when they discuss the net death toll of this pandemic. It's an incomplete picture and hides a big cost.
They ignore the additional deaths an economic depression will cause. They sweep those deaths, which they will be completely responsible for causing, under the rug. These deaths could outnumber the deaths caused by the virus, itself. This is because the economic deaths will occur over several years rather than a few months. Perhaps over the course of a decade or more.
How many people died from the Great Depression? How many more died as a result of Franklin Roosevelt's misguided socialistic policies, which stretched that depression years beyond its natural span? How many had their health ruined by the years of hardship? How many died of stress-related conditions due to economic disruption, business failures, and losing their life savings or home?
History doesn't repeat, but similar conditions often have similar effects. If government policies manage to destroy or damage the economy, and then keep it from recovering naturally as quickly as it otherwise would — the way FDR's programs did — people who would otherwise have prospered as the economy recovered are going to be dying from effects of a coronavirus Depression.
Worse, if the foolish "stimulus" being presented by politicians as a solution finally triggers hyperinflation, the result will be beyond anything you can imagine. Buckle up. It may get bumpy.

Track* Bike Tuesday – 1967 Aermacchi / Harley-Davidson CRTT 350 Replica
Aermacchi helped H-D develop their small bike potential in the 1960's and part of the effort was 250 and 350cc racing machines. Today's racer is actually a reproduction, but with 5-star credentials and marked only by a few curator's fingerprints.
1967 Aermacchi / Harley-Davidson CRTT 350 Replica for sale on eBay
Aermacchi developed their air-cooled single in the late -50's, and its forward pointing head provided good cooling. The CR-TT was under constant development throughout the -60's, with increasing compression, bore, rpm and power ( and shrinking stroke ). Drum disks were specified, with the front well-ventilated, as is the dry clutch. Components are courtesy of early innovators of the bits, Dell'Orto carburetor, Ceriani forks, Tommaselli handlebars, Magura levers, and Akront alloy rims.
The seller states that the CRTT is popular in AHMRA events, but that won't be happening to this particular Aermacchi. Evidently subject of an all-pro restoration by a previous owner, you have to really look to see all the places this bike has been polished. Any single word describing its condition really doesn't cover it. Seller's notes from the eBay auction:
Bike was restored by world famous Aermacchi specialist, Ron Cathcart. It has had zero miles since restoration.
So immaculate, this stunning machine was solely used for display purposes by the prior owner and also by the current selling owner. This motorcycle is sold on a Bill of Sale. Registration is solely the responsibility of the buyer.
One of the most renowned names in Aermacchi circles is Ron Lancaster of Lancaster Aermacchi Sprint Restorations in Tampico, Illinois. This particular 1973 Aermacchi 350 example has been rebuilt to resemble a 1967 CRTT racer, with a budget of $10,000. Mike Medford was called on to make the tank and seat unit, while the fairing is sourced from a 1960's model. The 344 cc single was rebuilt by Ron Lancaster. This example also boasts an array of upgraded components such as Magura levers, Tomaselli clip-ons, Akront rims, custom front brake drum, left side shift, and more.
Aermacchi went back into two-strokes in the 1970's, and provided the orange and black many Grand Prix wins and championships, including a rare crown in both the 250 and 350cc classes in 1976. Smokers were working their way towards the door as the decade wore on, and AMF perhaps saw them as not in-keeping with the H-D brand, selling to buyout specialists Cagiva who retired the name in 1978. This gem might race forever on a carpeted stretch of race track, with a new caretaker and occasional light polishing.

Little Fizz: 1986 Yamaha FZR 250
Bigger bore homologation machines may be where the money is at right now, but rare examples like this littlest of Fizzers is exactly what RSBFS is all about. Sure, you've heard about the FZR1000, not to mention the mighty OW01 – the FZR750RR – but some of the most unique bikes can be found at the lower end of the spectrum. And while Ninja 250s are a dime a dozen, the rest Big Four also dabbled with smaller four strokes which were much more performance based… and not imported to our shores. Which brings us to this very rare (in the US) 1986 Yamaha FZR250.
1986 Yamaha FZR 250 for sale on eBay
The FZR250 is an interesting mix of racing technology and basic transportation. It looks every bit the FZR400, right down to the dual headlamps. Reviewers reported that while some of the other four stroke 250 set appeared to be mini bikes, the FZR250 looks like an actual motorcycle. The Genesis-derived inline four is rev-happy, with the tach topping out at 18k. Max power of 45 ponies comes in down lower in the range – about 14,500 – but leaving enough headroom for the 112 MPH top speed. Aside from the gem of the motor, the hard bits are all a bit pedestrian: mild steel (not aluminum) frame and non-adjustable suspension. But the FZR250 is bigger and better than the sum of its parts – with a stronger midrange than the competition and unflappable handling (just like the FZR400), the smallest Fizz makes for some truly heroic cornering. All without the threat of losing your license.
Up for sale is a 1986 FZR250 VIN #2KR-210615. Clean & Clear title. Currently has 15,651 miles (25,188 KM) but that might climb slightly as I take it out a few times a week.
This bike is in great mechanical condition and not in need of any repairs. It starts right up and runs fantastic. Redlines at 17,000 RPM and makes 45 horsepower. It sounds like an F1 car. Very unique motorcycle that was never imported to the U.S. so they are quite rare here.
Recent work includes
Carb Clean
Quote from Motorcycle magazine
"The mere thought of initiating a turn on the FZR250 accomplishes the task, and the Yamaha's scalpel-precise steering allows you to aim for any inch of tarmac in the turns. As you'd expect with the slightly longer stroke, the FZR starts its serious forward progress at the 13,000 mark, and signs off at 15,500 rpm, well short of its 17,000-rpm redline."
Today's rare example (qualification: rare in the US) comes to us from the great state of Massachusetts. It presents reasonably well, although the photos do show some wear and tear that we typically see plaguing smaller bikes. There is some corrosion which is common from outdoor usage in wetter climes – but nothing that is a deal killer. The blue tinted windscreen is not stock, but nicely rounds out the blue/white paintwork. Turn signals have been modified from stock, and it looks like a fender delete was performed at some point. The exhaust can is not stock, but should help improve the power (marginal) and sound (significant). This is a Buy It Now advert, with the seller asking $5,500. Check out all of the details here, and Good Luck!!

SRX and the Single Cylinder – 1987 Yamaha SRX250
Stateside fans would probably say Yamaha are generally at the forefront of technology and leading-edge fabrication, but bucking that trend was the little SRX250 and the SRX series in general. The 250 wound up a single-year special for us, with an eye on fun and the bottom line, and that still might be case for this Ohio example.
1987 Yamaha SRX250 for sale on eBay
Yamaha introduced a line of four-stroke singles, with a 600, 400, and 250cc models, mostly for the domestic market. A steel tubing frame loops smoothly around the upright air-cooled engine. On the 250, a 22mm carburetor is on one side of the head, with seeming dual exhausts from the front. The six-speed transmission is a relatively up-to-date concession to the 10,000 rpm required to make 32 hp. A single front disk and rear drum suffice, along with 33mm forks and monoshock rear. Tires are almost the same width but staggered diameters with 16-inch front and 18 rear.
With 10,700 around-town miles, it would be unfair to expect a creampuff and this SRX shows average wear. The red frame and mostly white bodywork hasn't aged badly, but could use a little sprucing up. The wheels look very light and are in good shape. Mechanically, there's just not that much to go wrong. From the eBay auction:
Rare 1987 Yamaha SRX 250. These bikes were only made for one year. Great collector bike but also a cool daily driver. Runs great and right down the road. It does idle a little ruff. Just needs rode. All the plastic is solid – no cracks. Tank is in good shape it's for age. As you can see in pictures it's not perfect. No tears in seat. All lights work. Have a clear title.
Better suited to an occasional errand than a commute, the SRX250 could still make a massive pit bike or learner's permit birthday gift. The red and white livery echoes larger Yammers from the -80's, though it wasn't a long-term success here. The sensible starting bid and what looks like an easy restoration might sway a fan of the brand.

Saved Not Spent – 1989 Yamaha FZR-400 with only 1,200 Miles !
The four stroke small-sports are definitely whipping up on the stock market this year, and this barely used 1989 will likely continue the trend. It's a cornering machine with 60 hp and ready-to-ride weight well under 400 lbs. New repro bodywork to preserve the excellent factory set can only help.
1989 Yamaha FZR-400 for sale on eBay
The progressive-license wars had been going on for several years overseas, and all of the big four had four valve inline fours available with racey lookalike styling. The Yamaha won the refinement award with the EXUP exhaust valve tailoring the torque curve, and build quality was just shy of the red benchmark. Except for the fields with numbers, the specs read like its big brother OW-01 – Deltabox frame, Genesis top end, quad Mikunis, dual front disks, and staggered alloy wheels.
The owner's not saying much about the history or whether this example is an import, but despite the nearly three decades it shows no corrosion and has Colorado paperwork. Some 1989's have updated seat console and fairing while this one has more details from a few years before, perhaps an aficionado could comment. From the eBay auction:
Never raced.
This bike comes with two sets of plastics.
The plastics on the bike currently are Japanese racing repro's.
The bike comes with the original plastics in fantastic condition.
In addition the bike comes with original manual, rear footpegs, back seat,
spare perfect condition radiator and hoses and a new red front fender.
The bike does not smoke or drip.
Tires are older and should probably be changed before serious riding.
There is a hairline crack in the original front fender not noticeable unless you look for it.
The original pipe has a couple of scratches that have been touched up but there are no
dents or damage of any kind.
Though the FZR-400 was imported for a few years, the displacement arms race and premium MSRP curtailed its long term success. Riders with a track day habit or easy access to some twisty bits have re-discovered the segment, and the bikes can be maintained at home. This one looks too nice to track, but could certainly take in some turns on the way to a bike night…

Green and Clean: 1993 Kawasaki ZXR400R
Happy Monday RSBFS readers! The dreaded winter slowdown has yet to arrive – plenty of fantastic bikes continue to pop up despite the onslaught of weather across the US. If you are snowed in and looking for something to do, adding a rare bike to your collection from the comfort of your home might be an ideal winter activity. And if you need something to melt the snow, this hot ZXR400 might just be your ticket.
1993 Kawasaki ZXR400R for sale on eBay
Built for a time where the Big Four were concerned with the declination of the 250cc two stroke class, the 400s were intended to be the four stroke equivalent of a GP bike. Requisite top-shelf components are found throughout, including aluminum frame, upside down front forks (normal today, but race-worthy stuff in the 1990s), lots of suspension adjustability and big, 300mm brakes signaled the track intent of the small ZXR. On the power side, the rise of the small four stroke was based in RPM. Lots of RPM. With a redline north of 14,000 revolutions per minute, the liquid-cooled four cylinder with four-valves per offers up close to 60 horsepower (depending on the market). Packaged in a tidy, 350-ish pound serving size, the ZXR is a razor sharp missile…provided you are under 6 feet. Bigger riders may show a lot of knees and elbows, hardly comfortable and certainly not very aerodynamic.
Up for sale is a gorgeous 1993 Kawasaki ZXR400R "M" model in mint condition with only 5,045 kilometers (3,134 miles). Bike is completely stock except for steel braided brake lines. All fairings and components are 100% genuine factory Kawasaki. Brand new Dunlop Sportmax tires have been installed. Bike runs like the day it was new. Just serviced with New battery and fluids. This is a premium ZXR. Museum quality. Bike comes with Utah state title and is titled as a streetbike for road use.
A bit sharper than contemporary 400s – at the expense of overall usability – the little green screamer was a solid effort to supplant the quarter liter two strokers. The hype was real and the 300cc class today owes this bike a debt of gratitude. This ZXR400R looks great. This is a classic grey-market bike in classic Kawasaki livery. The passage of time is tough on performance benchmarks, but tips the scales when it comes to laws of supply and demand. This bike is being offered in a Buy It Now auction format for $10,800, with the seller open to offers. That is a premium price for a 400, but 25 years on it is getting harder and harder to find an unmolested example. Check this one out here, and join the large number of people watching what will happen. Good Luck!!

Featured Listing: 1990 Honda CBR250RR
Update 5.6.2017: Sold in just 4.5 hours! Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc
If you have a rare sportbike for sale, model years 1980ish to 2004ish, consider our Featured Listing service for $59. Email me to see to get started: dan@motoringblogs.com
This is not your usual diet of 40:1 premix. This grey-market 250cc Featured Listing is the ultra-rare, four stroke MC22. Never officially imported into the United States, this particular example has been properly papered and plated – making it a terrific way to add a stunning and unique machine to your collection. The seller is a RSBFS regular, and we have seen his bikes before; they are what they are claimed to be.
The CBR250 family follows a tried and true pattern of performance: an inline, four-cylinder engine with four valves per cylinder and a redline that stops just short of six figures (ok, only 19,000 RPM) is cradled by just enough aluminum to form a stout, boxed perimeter frame. 17″ wheels and better-than-basic suspension hold up the works, and race-bred bodywork and vented triple disks all around prove that this is no entry-level scooter. While originally a Japan-only model when introduced in the mid-1980s as the MC14. By the late 1980s with the MC19 edition Honda started importing outside of Japan, but kept the distribution limited largely to APJ (Asia, Pacific, Japan). Expect a stock bike to produce approximately 45 HP against a 315 pound dry weight.
1990 Honda CBR250RR MC22. 12,611 Miles (20,296 Kilometers) being sold from my personal collection. Only selling to make room for more projects. Imported into the United States from Australia. So it has a 17-digit VIN plate and lived its life in a very mild climate. This is a very clean well cared for bike. Everything works, as it should. Turn signals, brake lights, horn, High and low beam, radiator fan. All fluids are fresh. Shifts and revs to redline perfectly. Starts effortlessly every time. Continental Conti-Motion Tires are brand new with Zero miles on them. Also replaced the clutch friction plates and springs over the winter.
Fairings are aftermarket, not the flimsy ones offered by some but very high quality injection molded. Tank has been re-sprayed by 2 Brothers Painting. Absolutely flawless. Bike has VIN Matching State of Ohio Title. Buyer is responsible for their own State Requirements.
Sold as is. Buyer responsible for shipping. Thank you for looking. Please email any questions. Price is $6200.00 USD. OBO.
On RSBFS we see a lot of grey bikes imported from Japan. While this is one possible route to source a rare motorcycle, bikes coming from other markets such as Australia are preferred. Australia has a much better climate for preserving machinery, and much more space in which to park and secure vehicles. As a result, Aussie imports are nearly always free of the corrosion and rash from tight confines that plague other imports.
The seller notes that the plastics are not stock OEM, and that the tank has been resprayed. That may be the case, but from the pictures I can see no fitment issues and everything looks clean, clean, clean. The seller also states the maintenance items completed, which is important as a bike nears voting age.
Check out the pics (and feel free to drool a little). This bike is available in the US, complete with a clean VIN and title. As usual, not all states need to apply – so best to check with the local powers that be to ensure this could be more than just a track-day bike for you (but oh, what a track day bike it could be!). Give Greg a holler if you are interested. We do not see these wonderful four strokers very often, so if you are in the market I suggest you act quickly. You are not likely going to find a cleaner MC22. Good Luck!

Hidden Away Handler – 1989 Yamaha FZR-400
Wheeled to the back of a collection after only 962 miles, this lightweight Yamaha four-stroke could easily be returned to riding status. The only really sporting four-stroke 400 imported to the States, of the underwhelming total sales here, many were raced and subject to engine transplants. Showing a serious mid-size buy-it-now, this is a bike any rider could enjoy, and a highly skilled rider could enjoy it immensely.
In stock trim, the almost pint-size 399 cc's provide 60 hp, mostly between 8,000-14,000 rpm. Below the power band it's perfect around town. Above 8,000 the over-engineered DeltaBox frame provides a stable platform with 41mm conventional forks and rear monoshock. Brakes are dual front 298mm disks with 210mm rear. Wheels are different sizes to aid handling, 18-inch rear following a 17-inch front. Classic red-white paint grabs attention for the endurance-styled fairing.
Presented by a serious collector, this FZR doesn't look to have suffered the usual collateral damage from storage wars – from the eBay auction:
Absolutely MINT 1989 Yamaha FZR400. This may be the finest one in the US.
Premium motorcycle, premium price reflecting its condition and the extra swingarm. All original, no modifications. Never dropped, raced, crashed or otherwise damaged. It's been sitting in an enclosed storage unit or my garage since I purchased it two years ago.
Comes with buffed 1990 FZR400 swingarm for the perfect combination of a virtually new FZR400 with the later Deltabox swingarm.
One tiny rock chip in upper left headlight fairing. Front master cylinder sticks from lack of use. I've discounted the price by $200 to cover the minor repair. The carbs need cleaning.
Imported only 1988-90, the premium-priced FZR-400 was a tough sell next to the new 600. Continental riders had a choice of Kawasaki and Honda small sports, but beautiful engineering and build quality couldn't protect the exchange rate and pre-EXUP power specs for long. These long-past corporate missteps now ensure rarity, especially for a stock peach as displayed here. Riding like a larger sportbike, the performance envelope of the FZR-400 is wider and more accessible to more riders. Just a carb cleaning, new rubber, and tune-up stand in the way of this great ride, oh you'll also have to get past ( over ? ) the display stand…

It has been on display in a private collection since 2004 and I have the manufactures MSO paperwork. As new condition with associated paper work included in the sale. Be the lucky winning bidder to own this superlative rarity.
This machine will be sold with a Notarized Bill of Sale, and any other paper work associated with this particular bike. This is a super rare and neat find . nice original condition over all , Brand New condition.
The Honda Dream 50 was a retro-racer produced by Honda in the early 2000s. The goal was to evoke the feel of the Honda racing projects of the 60s – primarily the dominant CR110 – in a package that was easy to consume and relatively easy to ride. The result was a collector sensation, and it is likely that many more of these bikes were squirreled away without ever turning a wheel than those that actually were ridden in anger. The best part is this bike is the rare racing variant of the line, with no lights or electrics and just a lone tach to keep you honest.
This bike is being sold as a zero mile example, and appears to have come from a Honda museum exibit. The seller will throw in a shipping crate for the bike at no charge, and has noted that shipping costs will run approximately $700 – $900 to the mainland. If you are looking for a Dream 50 racer, this may be your opportunity.
It is no secret that I lust after little bikes like this. While I prefer my chicken chasers to run on pre-mix, this little four stroke looks the business and is purported to be a blast to ride on the track. This is the second time around for this bike as it failed to sell when last we saw it on eBay. The BIN is set at a pretty reasonable $4,650, and bidding has been completely scarce and stalled at $510 with reserve still in place. Click here to jump to the auction and check it out. Christmas in Hawaii sounds like the perfect way to spend the holiday season!


We know that one of the reasons why you choose to get your custom shirts from Customized Girl again and again is because of the great print quality we can deliver! While we agree our printing process is pretty darn good, in the printing business, there is always room for improvement. We are constantly tweaking and adding new features to make our prints better than our competitors!
We already have a big advantage because we do direct-to-garment printing on almost all of products, instead of screen-printing. Direct-to-garment printing allows us to offer a full range of colors offered at no extra charge, and no minimums or setup fees. With direct-to-garment printing, we can speed up the printing process while still producing great quality prints and in return, we can pass the savings on to you.
In addition, we have also added new state-of-the-art dryers. When newly printed shirts dry quicker, you get a better print and it lasts much longer. So not only do you have a wider variety of selections to choose from, you also receive a higher quality product to wear over and over again!
Since we have improved our printing process so much in the past couple of months and have a surplus of basic tee inventory, we want to give you the chance to experience our high quality printing and get a great deal at the same time!

We All re-gift, Don't We?
So a couple of days ago, we were just talking about the "re-gifting" subject! Lots of people do it for various reasons. Some people even do it because they are short a gift or two.
So we had our office Christmas Party last week and I saw someone pick they gift that they brought to the party! Silly me, I thought it was strange but it actually more common than I thought! A poll of 2,000 people found 46% of us wish we could just pick out our own Christmas gifts, so we know that we'd actually use them.
The survey also asked people about stuff they've re-gifted, returned or threw away and WHY they did it. Here are the top ten reasons . . .
5. I got too many of them.
6. I re-gifted to save money on someone else's gift.
Who in your family is the worst at re-gifting?

Barry Flanagan donated two sculptures to Jesus College, The Cricketer in 1989, and San Marco Horse in 2009 shortly before his death. It was in fact the Horse that arrived first, in 1988, for the very first occasion of Sculpture in the Close. It has remained in the same position, in First Court, ever since, and has acquired iconic status as well as the affection of several generations of students.
At first blush, these two works seem to point in different directions, with the Horse assuming the gravitas of art historical credentials, while the Cricketer, one of Flanagan's most exuberant representations of hares, implies a spirit of truancy and even of frivolity. But there are ways in which these two charismatic bronzes merge their concerns.
The relative sobriety of the horse is misleading, and its direct allusion to the history of equestrian statuary is ambiguous, to say the least. It reproduces very closely the characteristic pose of monumental equestrian works from the Classical and Renaissance periods, including the most authoritative example of all, the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius in the Campidoglio, Rome.
Such works celebrate political power in the spectacle of the rider capable of restraining and controlling the movements of an animal many times more physically powerful than he is. By dislodging the rider, but retaining the animal's pose to remind the viewer of precisely what is missing, Flanagan subverts the tradition and turns the deliberately incomplete ensemble into a celebration of the horse's own grace, strength and poise.
It is this self possession that also epitomises the hare, ubiquitous in Flanagan's output of the last 30 years. But while the riderless horse remains calm in resigning from its role as emblem of civic order, the hare is antic, disruptive, flamboyant, carnivalesque.
That said, there are plenty of anthropomorphic mannerisms in these eccentric figures, as well as comic references to both high and low cultural models; they often resemble cartoon characters making claims to an absurd kinship with the spare and elongated forms of Giacometti, an association that is not lost upon Bruce McLean, whose most recent paintings have created walk on parts for these unlikely accomplices.
But the anthropomorphising is less often the expression of a desire to reform the hare by making it conform to our inherited patterns of behaviour than to find something of the maverick figure of the hare in our own unresolved selves.
As Jo Melvin has pointed out, Flanagan's work shows that he has repeatedly associated physical agility with an ability to make imaginative leaps, and it is this impromptu inventiveness, and the performative ingenuity attaching to the image of the mad March hare, that has underwritten his own enduring fascination with this headlong acrobat.
'Starting a hare' is a phrase that refers to the pursuit of irrelevant issues, but it is precisely this readiness to explore avenues that seem unpromising to the conventional mind that has earned for Flanagan's most familiar leitmotif a justified reputation as one of modern sculpture's most fitting emblems of creativity itself.
When applying to Cambridge colleges it can feel a bit overwhelming as there are so many to choose from. I applied to Jesus College because it has a large MCR which was important for me because I wanted to feel part of a community.
Now that I'm doing my PhD here, I'm very glad I did choose a college with a large postgraduate community. Throughout the year there are lots of postgraduate events, including formal dinners, special formals at Christmas and Easter, bops in the bar and film nights in...
Jesus is known for being the friendly College, and I really felt that aspect of our ethos while walking around during the open day I attended. This, coupled with the lovely and historic atmosphere, pushed me to apply here.
I chose to study Economics because I appreciate how it explains the world around us via informative interpretations and predictions. Cambridge was the natural choice, given its reputation as having the most rigorous and wide-ranging undergraduate Economics course in the world. I've really enjoyed the course's blend of mathematics, problem-solving and...
I studied Maths at Jesus College for four years as an undergraduate. I am now a PhD student in the doctoral training program at the Cambridge Centre for Analysis. I work in the area of partial differential equations, specifically those arising in kinetic theory.
At Cambridge I was introduced to a wide variety of areas of Maths, many of which I hadn't really known existed before coming to university. I found the course highly rewarding and always interesting. The course starts with a good grounding in the basics, leaving many...
Human, Social, and Political Sciences
For the last two years, the politics and international relations track has given me the opportunity to study the politics of the modern world and a cross section of the centuries of philosophy that underpin it. This year, from a selection of every major region, I chose to focus on the Middle East, and the course has given a real insight into topics that seem to be more often discussed than understood, like the Arab Spring and the Syrian Civil War.
From supervisors through to my Director of Studies, I...
Theology, Religion, and Philosophy of Religion
I chose to do Theology, Religion, and Philosophy of Religion at Cambridge because it was the most diverse and flexible course for this subject available. Theology, Religion, and Philosophy of Religion is a broad subject that encompasses a lot of my passions including literature, language, and history; skills required for each of these disciplines are challenged and developed by the course.
The Faculty is great environment for learning, with a friendly atmosphere and a fantastic library working space. It is a pleasure in particular to be a theologian at Jesus...

Learn about how to prepare to register with us for an exemption.
Anyone supplying, selling or generating electricity in Victoria must hold an electricity licence granted by us, or be exempt from that requirement.
Follow the steps on this page before you start the registration process.
View the public register of exempt persons.
Sign up to the public exemption register.
Log in to the public exemption register.
assess whether or not you need to register with us.
In some cases, exempt people or groups don't need to register.
If you don't fall into any of our exemption categories, you need to apply to us for an electricity licence.
an estimate of the total yearly electricity used at the site in megawatt hours. This can be found by reviewing the last 12 months of bills issued by your licensed electricity retailer.
Our registration portal allows you to create one group that covers exemption applications for all of your organisation. It is free to register.
By creating a group, you can new applications, and view and delete any existing registered activities. You can also invite other people from your organisation to join the group and start registering exemptions. When you invite people to your group, all members in the group have the ability to create, view and delete your organisation's registrations.
Before you register a group, check to see if your organisation already has one. You can do this by viewing the public register and looking up companies within your organisation. If you want to join an existing group, contact the person who registered a relevant activity in the public register.
If you are a solar power purchase agreement provider, you just need to register with us as an entity.
You need to register your selling and supplying activities for each site separately. The portal will allow you to indicate that you supply and sell electricity.
Ensure that you count the number of individual meters at your site when you list the number of customers you sell or supply electricity to.
Trustees or companies must register for an electricity licensing exemption, not beneficiaries or shareholders.
If you represent a shopping centre, register for your small retail customers, then register again for your large customers.
One of the objectives of the register is to make it easier for customers to find and contact their electricity provider. We publish some of your contact details so that customers can contact you for any queries or complaints about their electricity. If you use a third-party service provider or agent and they are the most appropriate point of contact for customers, provide their contact details instead.
We publish registration exemptions on our public register. View the register to see how we publish the information you give us. Certain information (such as the number of customers) will not be published on the register. Instead, we de-identify this information so it can be used in our reports on the energy market and to inform policy development.
Read our Registration Guideline for Exempt Persons if you'd like an in-depth guide on registering for an electricity licensing exemption.
If you have additional queries about registering for an exemption, email us at exemptionregister@esc.vic.gov.au.
This document notes the information we ask exempt persons to provide when registering. It also provides detail on who is and isn't required to register, why exempt persons are required to register, and how to register.
If you fall into the 'registration' or 'multiple activities' licensing exemption categories, you must become a member of an approved dispute resolution body. We have approved the Energy and Water Ombudsman (Victoria) as a customer dispute resolution scheme.


According to Baby-Friendly USA, the accrediting body for the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative in the U.S., the BFHI assists hospitals in giving all mothers the information, confidence, and skills necessary to successfully initiate and continue breastfeeding their babies or feeding formula safely, and gives special recognition to hospitals that have done so. The initiative is endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Studies also show that, as they grow up, breastfed babies tend to be less likely to suffer from chronic illnesses like diabetes or obesity. Besides the emotional benefits of the close relationship formed between breastfeeding mothers and babies, moms who breastfeed have been shown to experience decreased risks of breast and ovarian cancer, anemia and osteoporosis.
"Breastfeeding is not just about babies, it's about children," added Bedgood. "The positive health benefits of exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life have been shown to continue with fewer, less serious childhood illnesses."

What Students Say…
I have studied in Amrit Jyoti School from nursery to 10th Std. I qualified Chartered Accountancy Final exam in 2018 with 26th All India Rank in Final and 37th All India Rank in IPCC.
For me, years at Amrit Jyoti School have been the defining period of my life, they have not only provided a strong foundation for academic concepts but have also built me as a person. The bond with teachers here has survived various changes of circumstances and institutes yet it stands strong. So, I still remain a proud student of Amrit Jyoti at heart.
CA Urvi Shah (2012)
It has been a good 8 years I left "My School", and still when someone says there's going to be Teacher's day celebration in the school or Independence Day is coming all that comes to my mind is "Let's go to school.!".
From learning beads counting to doing marks counting in the prelim paper to see whether my marks were as mentioned or not, it was all seamless. It never seemed to me that I was amongst strangers or that okay I'm in school or that beware of someone and something. Amrit Jyoti was and will always be my true second home, from where going home at the bell of 3pm I wished if it lasted a bit longer!!
I still remember when I needed a week's leave for a wedding and Angana teacher made me write on a paper that I'd bring 10% above the prelim percentage and that one promise changed my life for which today I proudly put the prefix Dr. before my name.
There are innumerable such incidents and stories with not only me but each and every student who has been a student of AJS! For the teachers be the teachers on and off the school hours and even after it. And not once but for the life that I've lived till date all the teachers have been there for me guiding me through what people call the "Real life" because as my father would always tell me till 10th STD that you don't know what and how cruel the world is because Amrit Jyoti keeps u protected!! I didn't believe him at that time, but I do today and know what it means!
From Bharti teacher and Lt. Chandra teacher to Manji sir, Kalidas sir and Kamlesh sir, each and everyone teaches you some or the other important essence of life which stays with you lifelong.
Dr. Shrutika Parag Ved (1998-2010)
I studied in Amrit Jyoti from my nursery right upto S.S.C. This school shaped up my life in a way which can just be imagined. I'd say whatever I'm today is mostly because of the way we were taught in Amrit Jyoti. Currently I'm doing my Master's in UK in marine biology. It's not easy to study in a foreign country with an accent like that of the English people but Amrit Jyoti is one school that teaches English the phonetic way and that works wonders when it comes to interacting with people from proper English-speaking nations.
Teachers in the school are extremely motivating and help the students develop their interests. Also, one very good feature of the school is that a lot of importance is given to languages. The management understands the importance of languages in developing an individual culturally. The extra-curricular activities also help in building up confidence that's vital for later phases of life. So, all in all, I'm really grateful to the school and teachers for making me what I'm today.
Chintan Purohit (2003)
I studied in Amrit Jyoti right from Jr. Kg. to 10th standard. Currently, I'm pursuing my B. Tech. in Electronics & Communication Engineering at Institute of Technology, Nirma University, Ahmedabad. I'm extremely grateful to Amrit Jyoti for providing an environment conducive to learning anything and everything. All the things that I've learned at Amrit Jyoti have helped me at some point of time. I'll always be indebted to Amrit Jyoti for the way it has shaped my life. Thank you Amrit Jyoti!

The first match of 2018/19 Hyundai A-League season is upon us as City takes on Victory at the newly re-named Marvel Stadium (nee Etihad Stadium).
After the Club's strongest pre-season on the training tack, Warren Joyce's men will be looking to get off to the best possible start against their fierce rivals.
Fresh off a 4-1 demolition of Western Sydney in Shepparton, City will be looking to build on their pre-season form and carry the winning momentum through to their Round 1 clash.
With four individual goal scorers finding the back of the net against the Wanderers - Harrison Delbridge, Florin Berenguer, Dario Vidosic and Riley McGree - there is no doubt that Joyce would be pleased with the output of his players.
Despite City going unbeaten in eight of their nine pre-season matches against A-League opposition, the task won't be easy on Saturday night as they come up against the reigning champions.
Kevin Muscat's Melbourne Victory will be just as eager to kick-off their 2018/19 Hyundai A-League campaign on a high, as they too seek the city's bragging rights.
Japanese legend Keisuke Honda is likely to play for Victory with the marquee man stealing the headlines over the pre-season however there are doubts over Swede Ola Toivonen and Carl Valeri for the contest.
Warren Joyce has named a strong squad for the season opener at Marvel Stadium. Seven Young Socceroos will miss the chance to make the Derby squad with Nathaniel Atkinson being the most established of the group. Osama Malik and Michael O'Halloran will also miss the match through calf and hamstring injuries respectively.
See our full team news.
It was Derby heartbreak for City last time out as they went down to Victory 2-1 in Round 22 at AAMI Park last season.
Kosta Barbarouses opened the scoring in the 12th minute, before Bruno Fornaroli equalised from the spot 10 minutes into the second period. Eight minutes later, Leroy George found the back of the net and secured the three points for the visitors.
"Who ever you (would be) playing tomorrow night, you'd want to win the game. You've got to give them respect but no respect - the respect they deserve."
"What matters is what happens on the grass. Everybody's got two arms and two legs and that's how we treat everyone we're playing against."
"I also had lot of derby experience, so I know how important this game is. The first experience for me is the derby and the beginning of the season and this is unusual."
City take on Victory at Marvel Stadium on Saturday 20 October, kick-off 7:50pm.


Myth #1: #whiteboxes are more complex. In fact, with a single point of contact (integrator), they can be relatively simple.
Not really a myth, a #whitebox can be very simple, but if you don't understand the OS, it's a new process just like changing vendors from C to J or B, etc.
How to educate the customer so they understand the simplicity?
@afewell well a bright box has a OS with good documentation and the ability to get training.
@sonoble exectly, bright box aka @Dell is another way to think about them being a system integrator and picking up customer mind share -- all good!
Yes I guess I should have invented. Too slow.
Steven Noble can you elaborate? Do you think Cisco will try to hijack the open #SDN efforts?
Does this mean there will be a single management interface - much like Cisco UCS to manage all your switches from a single management interace?
great question @newcoit - platform needs that functionality.
Where is HP OpenView for #SDN !?
hey @rayno can we move @newcoit question on the single management interface and vision up to the top in a future question?
we get this question all the time - we mom and pop shops, we see small ISPs and hosting shops. If you want to save $$ and leverage traditional CLI, you can use a #whitebox today and the only risk you take, it trying it.
Love the idea of a small ISP using this stuff. Do you have any examples you can cite?
@pica8 I should put aside some time and set one up in my lab to play with.
Agree with @afewell ... Dell could do a lot toward mainstream adoption of white boxes.
@afewell indeed #ONL is key. All the @OCP initiatives take us to a true plug and play model.
Another Myth: Hardware performance. Are #whiteboxes inferior to proprietary solutions or can they beat them?
answer with security in mind. if a #whitebox can fall over it becomes a security threat.
That is a difficult one, I would say it would be more difficult to reach the same level of performance with general hardware.
this is a good question and since even Cisco uses Broadcom's ASICs in Top of Rack switches, there is consensus that merchant Silicon provides good value and performance.
@pica8 I am thinking that hardware specific to routing a switching is made for that, more general purpose computing hardware might not be up to more intense tasks.
That's right it's all in the software.
Security + cloud is a good point, Scott. cf. Illumio: the infrastrutcure no longer factors into the security question. As we rethink security, the security of a white box could be a non-issue.
But on a serious note, the bad guys are in "out there" in the cloud, so the security needs to be "out there"
The @raynoreport is coming out with a comprehensive #cloudsecurity report in one month. 35 companies.

Q: Switch Statement Prints Incorrect Case? I have read some code about Switch statement in Java Language.
I noted that written the next code, I have this output:

FEBO SERR JANUO January 2

Code:
    int month = 2;
    String monthString = "";
    switch (month) {
        case 2:
            monthString = "FEB";
            System.out.print("FEBO ");
        default:
            monthString = "ERROR";
            System.out.println("SERR ");
        case 1:
            monthString = "January";
            System.out.println("JANUO ");
            break;
    }

    System.out.print(monthString+ " ");
    System.out.print(month);

I  hoped  the next output really:

FEBO SERR FEB 2

Why I got that first output?
Thanks in advance.

A: Im not sure if I understand what you want but I think this is what you want:
    int month = 1;
    String monthString = "";
    switch (month) {
        case 1:
            monthString = "JAN";
            System.out.println("JANUO ");
            break;
        case 2:
            monthString = "FEB";
            System.out.println("FEBO ");
            break;
        default:
            monthString = "ERROR";
            System.out.println("SERR ");
            break;
    }

    System.out.print("SERR " + monthString+ " ");
    System.out.print(month);

Your problem was that you forgot to put the break; after each cases. Also, I didnt see any purpose of why you didnt put it into the correct order and (I think?) you did a typo at System.out.print("FEBO "); based on the other ones, it should be System.out.println("FEBO "); and finally, since you mentioned of wanting SERR in each output I adjusted that for you.
Reminder: println will print your text AND a new line (\n) while print wont print any.

A: Add break at the end of each case.
switch(condition) {
   case VALUE1:
          // do something
          break;
   default:
          // do default something
}

Rule #1: The Sergeant is ALWAYS right. Rule #2: See Rule #1.
Who is the current president of the Rotary Club of Suva?
What is the Rotary organization called that is geared toward high school students?
Who is the founder of Rotary?
Did you know all the answers? Our members certainly didn't! The club raked in some hefty fines this week, despite the lack of a speaker.
In future weeks it was agreed that in the place of a speaker, new members should give a vocational talk about their work. We have a few to choose from!
So get your presentations ready!
And for those who are still clueless… study up for next time. Sergeant Bruce has no mercy!

Dell already released new versions of their Latitude 3000 and 5000 series business notebooks that are lighter and thinner before. On top of that, they are also releasing a 12-inch version of their Latitude 5000 laptop. It will go on sale starting September 25th. The idea behind it is to steal some of the business from Lenovo who has a similar laptop that is around the same size.
The key difference between the Lenovo ThinkPad X240 and the Dell Latitude 12 5000 is the fact that the Dell doesn't have a trackpoint in the middle of the keyboard. Some people prefer the trackpoint, and other people think that it just gets in the way and prefer to not have it at all. The trackpoint will be on the 14-inch and 17-inch latitude models though. It also has a nice comfortable backlit keyboard.
The Latitude 12 comes with a smart card reader located on the left side and a USB, mini Display Port and an SD card reader located on the right. There is a connector on the bottom of the laptop so that you can hook it up to a Dell dock. This will give you even more ports to choose from. It also has an optional fingerprint reader for security.
Along with the new Latitude 12, there have already been updates to the regular Latitude 3000 and 5000 series laptops as stated before. They are thinner, lighter, and even more durable. The new business-minded laptops now have a spill resistant keyboard, so you don't have to freak out when you spill your coffee on it by accident during a hectic work day. They also feature optional keyboard back lighting and security options like Dell Data Protection's Security Tools, Protected Workspace, and Encryption.
Although these newly updated laptops are going to go on sale this month, it may be a kind of bad time to buy them. Not that they aren't worth it, but right now they feature a 4th generation Intel Core i3 or i5 processor, 4GB of ram, Intel HD Graphics 4400 or Nvidia GeForce 830M GPUs, a 1366 x 768 display and a 500GB hard drive. That is all well and good, but in January of next year they are going to get upgraded even more. At that point they will be featuring 5th generation Intel Celeron and Core i3/i5/i5 CPUs, up to 16GB of RAM, Intel HD Graphics 5500, a 1080p display and a 1TB hard drive.
The computers are already going to be fine, but if you can hold off just a few extra months, you will be able to get a way better version for about the same exact amount of money. Who wouldn't do that? Anyone who does purchase one this month and doesn't know about the coming upgrades is probably going to be very upset when they find out in January.


In February 2018, Luke Daunivalu took over from Nazhat Shameem Khan as the Chief Negotiator for the remainder of Fiji's COP23 Presidency, having played a leading role at the COP negotiations in Bonn last November and with the best part of a decade's experience behind him within the UN system.
Ambassador Daunivalu first became Fiji's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations in 2010. And after an intervening two year stint as Deputy Secretary (Policy) in the Ministry for Foreign Affairs in Suva between 2014 and 2016, he returned to New York at Ambassador level and has headed the Fijian mission to the UN ever since.

Supreme Court's Call To Not Bar Zubair From Tweeting: A Win for Press Freedom
When Supreme Court refused to curb Zubair, journalists across the country must have collectively sighed with relief.
Mekhala Saran
Published: 22 Jul 2022, 12:52 PM IST
As the Supreme Court, on Wednesday, 21 July, granted interim bail to Alt-News co-founder Mohammed Zubair in all FIRs registered against him in UP, and in any FIR that may be registered against him in the future in connection with the same subject matter (his tweets, duh!), Uttar Pradesh government's counsel AAG Garima Prashad sought for Zubair to be prevented from tweeting further as a bail condition.
The court, however, said they cannot do that.
"Telling a journalist to not write, is like telling a lawyer to not argue," Supreme Court Justice DY Chandrachud pointed out.
"He is not a journalist!" the AAG argued, but in a massive win for press freedom in the country, her submission went unacknowledged by the highest court of the country. They only noted that if Zubair did break any law, he would be answerable to the court (like literally everybody else.)
He'll Be Back Real Soon: Mohammed Zubair's Colleague Pratik Sinha on His Release
The Importance of Supreme Court's Stand
The court's decision to not anticipatorily bar Zubair from tweeting, and their emphasis on a journalist's freedom to speak and write and tweet, is laudable, not only because it is a reaffirmation of the fundamental right guaranteed under Article 19 of the Constitution, but also because it comes as a timely reminder.
Even though the Central Government has decided to reject India's ranking in the world Press Freedom Index — "the government does not subscribe to this," they said — our democratic republic is reported to have slipped to the 150th rank in a list of 180 nations.
Besides, from Sajad Gul in Kashmir, to Siddique Kappan in Uttar Pradesh, we do have several journalists across the country languishing in jails in a wide array of cases including those under the draconian Unlawful Activities Prevention Act.
For some, like Kashmir-wala editor Fahad Shah, the manner in which arrests have taken place and the proceedings have unfolded mirrors that of Zubair — first summoned, then arrested in one FIR, then arrested in another just as he was about to clinch bail in one, then booked in a cascade of cases with new charges being added on top of one another like layers in a cake, mostly for exercising their freedom of expression and their right to report.
A sequence of such events can be argued as an attempt to gag the reporter. Unfortunately, unlike the Supreme Court this time, an array of courts across the country appear to have historically fallen prey to such attempts.
Thus the top court's decision to set Zubair free ("we find no reason for his deprivation of personal liberty to persist"), and really free as they refused to even tie his tongue, is a welcome reminder of how the Constitution and the courts are supposed to pave way for press freedom.
The unsurprising thing is that the Supreme Court had to actually tell the AAG that it isn't permissible to bar a journalist from tweeting, despite the fact that they have unequivocally upheld press freedom and freedom of expression several times in the past —
Indian Express Newspapers v Union of India (1986): "In today's free world freedom of press is the heart of social and political intercourse."
S Rangarajan Etc vs P Jagjivan Ram (1989): "The State cannot plead its inability to handle the hostile audience problem. It is its obligatory duty to prevent it and protect the freedom of expression."
Manohar Lal Sharma v Union of India aka the Pegasus case (2021): "It is undeniable that surveillance and the knowledge that one is under the threat of being spied on can affect the way an individual decides to exercise his or her rights. Such a scenario might result in self censorship. This is of particular concern when it relates to the freedom of the press, which is an important pillar of democracy. Such chilling effect on the freedom of speech is an assault on the vital public watchdog role of the press, which may undermine the ability of the press to provide accurate and reliable information." (emphasis added)
The Supreme Court — in fact Justice Chandrachud himself — even granted bail to Republic TV news anchor Arnab Goswami in 2020, in an abetment to suicide case, stating that all the courts of the country from the district magistrates to the apex court, have a duty to ensure that criminal law does not become a "selective weapon for harassment of citizens."
India's Press: It's 'Eyes Wide Shut' for Everything from Zubair to Economy
So then why did the AAG not know better than to ask the top court to go against its own emphasised stand on freedom of journalists? The answer may lie in the inconsistent behaviour displayed by the courts of the country in the recent past.
Prior to This Order...
Prior to the order of this bench, a vacation bench of the Supreme Court had in fact imposed a tweet-ban on Zubair while granting an interim bail to him in one of the cases against him. This was, in fact, pointed out by the AAG herself while asking for the same condition to be imposed again.
"This court had earlier directed that the petitioner should not post tweets," LiveLaw quoted her as saying.
Besides, let us remember that Zubair was released only now. Prior to this, several other courts (in UP and in Delhi) had denied bail to him, despite the frivolity of the charges against him, their inconsistency with the actual act of tweeting done by him, and as noted by Justice Chandrachud, the gravamen of the allegations against him being his tweets and all the evidence against him "in public domain".
Courts have barred others too, in the past, from exercising their freedom of speech or practicing their profession in the way that they would have perhaps liked to.
For instance, an NIA special court, which set out the bail conditions for Bhima Koregaon accused Sudha Bharadwaj, barred her from speaking to the media about her case and also rejected her request to be allowed to return to her law practice in Chhattisgarh. When the Supreme Court allowed journalist Siddique Kappan to visit his ailing mother in Kerala, he was barred from speaking to the media.
Credit Where It's Due: A Session Judge's Stand
It would be, unfair, however to not credit one sessions court judge who had taken a pro-Article 19, pro-liberty and pro-democracy stand, not only granting bail to Zubair in a case registered against him by the Delhi Police over a 2018 tweet, but also unambiguously stating:
"Undoubtedly free speech is the proper foundation of a democratic society. A free exchange of ideas, dissemination of information without restraints, dissemination of knowledge, airing of differing viewpoints, debating and forming one's own views and expressing them, are the basic indicator of a free society. This freedom alone makes it possible for people to formulate their own views and opinions on a proper basis and to exercise their social, economic and political rights in a free society in an informed manner."
While the sessions court's remarks are most welcome, they will not go on to have the same kind of impact as the Supreme Court's. Thus when top court's Justice Chandrachud refused to curb the journalist, press-freedom advocates, writers, artists and other independent scribes across the country must have collectively heaved a sigh of relief.
Other Reasons for Applauding Supreme Court's Order
What's more, the top court effectively reiterated what has been carefully spelled out in the Arnesh Kumar judgment, the Arnab Goswami judgment, the MF Hussain case (by the Delhi High Court), among a catena of other judical pronouncements:
"It is settled principle of law, that the existence of powers of arrest must be distinguished from the exercise of powers of arrest, which must be used sparingly."
This is an important legal principle that perhaps must be reminded to the state, the arresting authorities and judges at regular intervals, given the recent arrests and prolonged incarceration before subsequent release (if any) of journalists, activists, comedians and artists for basically doing their job.
The court's decision to also transfer all the cases against Zubair to be probed — in a "consolidated" as opposed to piecemeal manner — by the Delhi Police special cell and to disband the SIT set up in Uttar Pradesh, will also spare the fact-checker some unnecessary harassment in pursuit of justice.
