Reopening with approval of CIT instead of Addl. CIT is not valid
Case Name : CIT Vs Aquatic Remedies (P) Ltd. (Bombay High Court)
Appeal Number : Income Tax Appeal No. 904 of 2016
Courts : Bombay High Court (1092)
CIT Vs Aquatic Remedies (P) Ltd.(Bombay High Court)
It is undisputed position before us that in terms of section 151(2) of the Act, the sanctioning/permission to issue notice under section 148 of the Act has to be issued by the Additional Commissioner of Income Tax. We find that the assessing officer had not sought the approval of the Designated Officer but of the Commissioner of Income Tax. This is clear from the Form used to obtain the sanction. In any case, the approval/satisfaction recorded in the form submitted for sanction of the Commissioner of Income Tax by the assessing officer reproduced herein above, it is clear that the Additional Commissioner of Income Tax had not granted permission to initiate reopening proceedings against the Respondent-Assessee.
The approval which has been granted is not by the Additional Commissioner of Income Tax but by the Commissioner of Income Tax. There is no statutory provision here under which a power to be exercised by an officer an be exercised by a superior officer. When the statute mandates the satisfaction of a particular manner, it has to be done in that manner. In a similar situation, the Delhi High Court in CIT v. SPL's Siddhartha Ltd. (ITA No. 836 of 2011 decided on 14-9-2011) since reported in (2012) 345 ITR 223 (Delhi) held that powers which are conferred upon a particular authority have to be exercised by that authority and the satisfaction which the statute mandates of a distinct authority cannot be substituted by the satisfaction of another.
In the aforesaid facts, the view taken by the Tribunal could not be found fault with as it merely followed the decision of this Court in Ghanshyam Khabrani. Therefore, the question as framed did not give rise to any substantial question of law. Thus, not entertained.
FULL TEXT OF THE HIGH COURT ORDER / JUDGMENT
This appeal under section 260A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (the Act), challenges the order dated 25-3-2015 passed by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (the Tribunal). The impugned order dated 25-3-2015 is in respect of assessment year 2004-05.
2. Revenue urges the following question of law, for our consideration :–
"Whether on the facts and in the circumstance of the case and in law, the Tribunal was correct in quashing the order made under section 143(3) read with section 147 holding that the same is out of jurisdiction without appreciating the fact that the sanction of the CIT was based on the satisfaction/report of the Addl. CIT and as such the requirement of section 151(2) of the Income Tax Act which calls for the sanction of the Addl. CIT, is duly fulfilled?"
3. Respondent is engaged in the business of trading in pharmaceutical products. On 25-3-2011, the assessing officer issued a notice under section 148 of the Act, seeking to reopen the assessment for the assessment year 2004-05. Respondent challenged the issuance of the reopening notice dated 25-3-2011 on the ground that, permission/sanction for issuing of the notice had to be obtained from the Additional Commissioner of Income Tax under section 151(2) of the Act while the sanction in this case has been obtained from the Commissioner of Income Tax. Thus, in breach of the section 151 of the Act. Therefore, without jurisdiction. The assessing officer did not accept the above submission of the Respondent and proceeded to pass a reassessment order dated 16-12-2011 under section 143(3) read with section 147 of the Act.
4. Being aggrieved with the order dated 16-12-2011, the Respondent filed an Appeal to the Commissioner (Appeals) [CIT(A)]. By order dated 28-12-2013, the Commissioner (Appeals) dismissed the appeal. This, by holding that the Additional Commissioner of Income Tax, i.e., appropriate authority has applied his mind and was satisfied with the reasons recorded by the assessing officer. It held that mere obtaining the approval from a higher authority, i.e., Commissioner (Appeals) will not vitiate the reopening proceedings.
5. This led to the Respondent filing a further appeal from the order dated 28-12-2013 to the Tribunal. This, appeal by the Respondent-Assessee's was allowed by the impugned order dated 25-3-2011. This, by following the decision of this Court in Ghanshyam K. Khabrani v. Asstt. CIT (2012) 346 ITR 443 (Bom) to hold that, the approval/permission to issue the notice dated 25-3-2011 had not been granted by the Additional Commissioner of Income Tax, but by the Commissioner of Income Tax and, thus in breach of section 151 of the Act.
6. Before considering the rival submissions, it is necessary to reproduce the relevant extracts from 'FORM FOR RECORDING REASONS FOR INITIATING PROCEEDINGS UNDER SECTION 148 OF THE ACT, AND FOR OBTAINING APPROVAL OF THE COMMISSIONER OF INCOME TAX, CENTRAL V, MUMBAI' tendered across the Bar. The Form itself indicates that the assessing officer had submitted the proposal to obtain approval of the Commissioner of Income Tax before issuing the notice dated 25-3-2011. The remark by Additional Commissioner of Income Tax on the form, is as under :–
"12. Remark of the Addl. CIT: Yes. I am satisfied. It is a fit case to reopen the case under section 147 of the Act. The notice under section 148 may be issued subject to CIT approval.
(VIRENDRA OJHA)
Addl. Commissioner of Income Tax,
Central Range 10, Mumbai."
It, thereafter, was examined by the Commissioner of Income Tax who expressed his approval in the following form :-
"13. Remark of the CIT
Yes, I am satisfied that in view of facts …………. as indicated in the Annexure, it is a fit case for issue of notice under section 148 of the Income Tax Act.
H.C. Jain
Commissioner of Income Tax,
Central IV, Mumbai."
7. Further, the learned Counsel for the parties also produce before us a letter dated 24-3-2011 addressed by the Additional Commissioner of Income Tax to the Commissioner of Income Tax and letter dated 25-3-2011 from the office of the Commissioner of Income Tax to the Additional Commissioner of Income Tax. The letter dated 24-3-2011 records the view of Additional Commissioner of Income Tax that he agrees with the reasons given by the assessing officer to issue the reopening notice and seeks permission of the Commissioner of Income Tax to enable the assessing officer to issue the reopening notice for assessment year 2004-05.
While, letter dated 25-3-2011 from the office of the Commissioner of Income Tax, addressed to the Additional Commissioner of Income Tax states that he has granted approval to the assessing officer to issue a notice under section 148 of the Act. All the three communications, referred to herein above in paragraphs 6 and in this paragraph, are taken on record and marked A, B & C for identification.
8. Mr. Tejveer Singh, learned Counsel appearing for the Revenue submits that the Additional Commissioner of Income Tax is the jurisdictional Officer to grant sanction under section 151(2) of the Act. This, Officer he, submits has recorded his satisfaction with the reasons recorded by the assessing officer to issue the reopening notice. Thus, the requirement of section 151(2) of the Act is satisfied inasmuch as the Additional Commissioner of Income Tax has found it to be a fit case for issuing of notice. It is further submitted that even though, the approval was obtained from the Commissioner of Income Tax for issuance of the notice, it does not take away the fact that the Additional Commissioner of Income Tax was satisfied with reasons recorded by the assessing officer. Therefore, it is submitted that the notice dated 25-3-2011, cannot be said to be without jurisdiction.
9. It is undisputed position before us that in terms of section 151(2) of the Act, the sanctioning/permission to issue notice under section 148 of the Act has to be issued by the Additional Commissioner of Income Tax. We find that the assessing officer had not sought the approval of the Designated Officer but of the Commissioner of Income Tax. This is clear from the Form used to obtain the sanction. In any case, the approval/satisfaction recorded in the form submitted for sanction of the Commissioner of Income Tax by the assessing officer reproduced herein above, it is clear that the Additional Commissioner of Income Tax had not granted permission to initiate reopening proceedings against the Respondent-Assessee.
The view of the Additional Commissioner of Income Tax was subject to the approval of his superior — the Commissioner of Income Tax. Thus, there was no final sanction granted by the Additional Commissioner of Income Tax for issuing the notice dated 25-3-2011 to reopen the Assessment. Further, it is the Commissioner of Income Tax who directed the issuance of the notice under section 148 of the Act to the assessing officer. Thus, it is very clear that the final sanction/approval was that of the Commissioner of Income Tax as indicated in the Form and also in the two letters dated 24-3-2011 and 25-3-2011.
10. This Court in Ghanshyam Khabrani (supra) while dealing with almost similar/identical situation has observed as under :–
"The approval which has been granted is not by the Additional Commissioner of Income Tax but by the Commissioner of Income Tax. There is no statutory provision here under which a power to be exercised by an officer an be exercised by a superior officer. When the statute mandates the satisfaction of a particular manner, it has to be done in that manner. In a similar situation, the Delhi High Court in CIT v. SPL's Siddhartha Ltd. (ITA No. 836 of 2011 decided on 14-9-2011) since reported in (2012) 345 ITR 223 (Delhi) held that powers which are conferred upon a particular authority have to be exercised by that authority and the satisfaction which the statute mandates of a distinct authority cannot be substituted by the satisfaction of another. We are in respectful agreement with the judgment of the Delhi High Court." (Emphasis supplied)
11. In the aforesaid facts, the view taken by the Tribunal, cannot be found fault with as it merely follows the decision of this Court in Ghanshyam Khabrani (supra). Therefore, the question as framed does not give rise to any substantial question of law. Thus, not entertained.
12. Accordingly, Appeal dismissed. No order as to costs.

Voices of the Tongass - Charlie Wilber
Charlie Wilber found his way to Alaska over 40 years ago, and it didn't take him long to decide he wanted to stay. This week on Voices of The Tongass, Charlie shares what exactly has kept him in Alaska, and lessons he has learned along the way. To hear this week's show, scroll to the bottom of this post. To continue the story, keep reading.
Photo by Berett Wilber
Charlie Wilber came to Alaska in 1971 as a smoke jumper, parachuting into remote areas of the interior to put out wildfires. "I'd hardly ever flown on an airplane. I got to Seattle and the state of Alaska had a person hired at the gate to try to convince you not to come to Alaska because there were no jobs…I thought I would only spend a summer here, but here I am, still here." When smoke jumping got "boring," it was time for the next adventure. "I wanted to make Alaska home," he says. "I felt like there were a lot of opportunities here for a young person. I still feel that way. I tried to figure out what I could do so I could live here. By a weird series of coincidences I had a friend with a hand troller in Icy Strait. I worked with him for about a week, thought 'Hey, this might be something', and it took off from there. I bought my first boat in 1979 and never looked back."
We had to clarify: "So you bought a troller and became a fisherman after only one week of fishing?"
"Yes," he says, chuckling. "And I would not do that ever again, nor would I encourage anyone to learn that way. The smart person would become a crew member for an experienced fishermen. I said, 'this looks pretty easy, I could figure this out,' and it was fairly painful for a number of years. It wouldn't be the first time I learned something the hard way. Someone told me once you aren't really fishing until you have every penny in it, and you owe money. And then you are seriously fishing because failing really isn't an option at that stage."
In the process of collecting stories for Voices of the Tongass, we have talked to several "fishing kids." Charlie is the first "fishing dad" we've interviewed, and we want to hear his perspective on parenting on a fishing vessel. "I suppose probably some of the most enjoyable times is when I had my two daughters on the boat with me. I've really enjoyed developing a working relationship with my daughters. One seemed to take to the water, and the other decided that probably wasn't in her interest. And I think that's a good thing, that the two of them have found their own path." Through summers spent on the boat, Charlie has passed his well-weathered wisdom on to his kids. "You know, if nothing else, I wanted my kids to have an appreciation for the environment that we were in - for the ocean. Wanted them to have an understanding of what I was doing...and I think they do both have a real sense of appreciation for the environment. When they were little we would go somewhere and they could spend all day with their little nets checking out bullheads on the rocks. There's not many places you can do that."
And then we have to ask: What has he learned about fishing, in thirty-four years on the water? "In order to be good at it you have to be very observant," he tells us. "A lot of it is by hunch: there are a lot of nuances. You can't see the fish, but you can see the fishermen. You can learn quite a bit from that."
We pepper him for the stories of the what else he's learned and the unusual things he's seen on the ocean: comets and waterspouts, trolling through herds of humpback whales, the northern lights, sharks, sunfish flopping on the surface of the water. But he makes it clear that one of the things that's most important to him is not something you need to be out on the ocean to see. "Not a day goes by where I don't still see the novelty of being able to walk out my door and be in the forest. And its not just recreation: I feed my family with deer, and obviously with fish. In order to have healthy salmon runs, the environment is very important. You can't have successful fishing when there's not habitat for the fish to spawn in. My living depends on having a healthy environment on land and on the ocean. The word sustainability gets used a lot these days, but it's the honest truth. Fishing isn't just a hobby. I've got a serious investment in equipment and everything else. It's how I make my living. I want these fish runs to be healthy for a long time, for long after I'm gone, I hope. To see the salmon returning each year…it's almost an inspiration. You can go to Indian River right now and almost walk across it without touching the water. It's really phenomenal. How many thousands of years has that been going on?"

"Whereas slavery, throughout its entire existence in the United States, is none other than the most barbarous, unprovoked and unjustifiable war of one portion of its citizens against another portion, the only conditions of which are perpetual imprisonment and hopeless servitude, or absolute extermination, in utter disregard and violation of those eternal and self-evident truths set forth in our Declaration of Independence."
Therefore, we, citizens of the United States, and the oppressed people who, by a recent decision of the Supreme' Court, are declared to have no rights which the white man is bound to respect, together with all other people degraded by the laws thereof, do, for the time being, ordain and establish for ourselves the following Provisional Constitution and Ordinances, the better to protect our persons, property, lives, and liberties, and to govern our actions.

Friends, if we achieve that, then we shall win an independent Scotland.

"[The] Bank of the United States… is one of the most deadly hostility existing, against the principles and form of our Constitution… An institution like this, penetrating by its branches every part of the Union, acting by command and in phalanx, may, in a critical moment, upset the government. I deem no government safe which is under the vassalage of any self-constituted authorities, or any other authority than that of the nation, or its regular functionaries. What an obstruction could not this bank of the United States, with all its branch banks, be in time of war! It might dictate to us the peace we should accept, or withdraw its aids. Ought we then to give further growth to an institution so powerful, so hostile?"

"It was the fact that our Declaration of Independence containing these immortal truths was the political action of a duly authorized and constituted representative public body in its sovereign capacity, supported by the force of general opinion and by the armies of Washington already in the field, which makes it the most important civil document in the world. It was not only the principles declared, but the fact that therewith a new nation was born which was to be founded upon those principles and which from that time forth in its development has actually maintained those principles, that makes this pronouncement an incomparable event in the history of government. It was an assertion that a people had arisen determined to make every necessary sacrifice for the support of these truths and by their practical application bring the War of Independence to a successful conclusion and adopt the Constitution of the United States with all that it has meant to civilization."

Kontext: The cause of the great War of the Rebellion against the United States will have to be attributed to slavery. For some years before the war began it was a trite saying among some politicians that 'A state half slave and half free cannot exist.' All must become slave or all free, or the state will go down. I took no part myself in any such view of the case at the time, but since the war is over, reviewing the whole question, I have come to the conclusion that the saying is quite true.

— Paul Tillich German-American theologian and philosopher 1886 - 1965

Kontext: A theological system is supposed to satisfy two basic needs: the statement of the truth of the Christian message and the interpretation of this truth for every new generation. Theology moves back and forth between two poles, the eternal truth of its foundation and the temporal situation in which the eternal truth must be received. Not many theological systems have been able to balance these two demands perfectly.

The Three Sources and Three Component Parts of Marxism http://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1913/mar/x01.htm (March 1913)
Kontext: Throughout the civilised world the teachings of Marx evoke the utmost hostility and hatred of all bourgeois science (both official and liberal), which regards Marxism as a kind of "pernicious sect". And no other attitude is to be expected, for there can be no "impartial" social science in a society based on class struggle. In one way or another, all official and liberal science defends wage-slavery, whereas Marxism has declared relentless war on that slavery. To expect science to be impartial in a wage-slave society is as foolishly naïve as to expect impartiality from manufacturers on the question of whether workers' wages ought not to be increased by decreasing the profits of capital.

"Let us take social struggle at its most violent: war. What interests Hegel is not struggle as such, but the way the "truth"of the engaged positions emerges through it, namely how the warring parties are "reconciled"through their mutual destruction. The true (spiritual) meaning of war is not honor, victory, defense, etc., but the emergence of absolute negativity (death_ as the absolute Master which reminds us of the false stability of our organized finite lives. War serves to elevate individuals to their "truth" by making them renounce their particular self interested identify with the State's universality"

"Integration of races of totally disparate origins and culture is one of the great myths of our time. It has never worked throughout history.

"p>Do we not all know that the cause of our casualties is the vicious intermeddling of too many of the citizens of the Northern States with the constitutional rights of the Southern States, cooperating with the discontents of the people of those states? Do we not know that the disregard of the Constitution, and of the security that it affords to the rights of States and of individuals, has been the cause of the calamity which our country is called to undergo? And now, war! war, in its direst shape — war, such as it makes the blood run cold to read of in the history of other nations and of other times — war, on a scale of a million of men in arms — war, horrid as that of barbaric ages, rages in several of the States of the Union, as its more immediate field, and casts the lurid shadow of its death and lamentation athwart the whole expanse, and into every nook and corner of our vast domain.Nor is that all; for in those of the States which are exempt from the actual ravages of war, in which the roar of the cannon, and the rattle of the musketry, and the groans of the dying, are heard but as a faint echo of terror from other lands, even here in the loyal States, the mailed hand of military usurpation strikes down the liberties of the people, and its foot tramples on a desecrated Constitution.</p"

"In immediate self-consciousness the simple ego is absolute object, which, however, is for us or in itself absolute mediation, and has as its essential moment substantial and solid independence. The dissolution of that simple unity is the result of the first experience; through this there is posited a pure self-consciousness, and a consciousness which is not purely for itself, but for another, i. e. as an existent consciousness, consciousness in the form and shape of thinghood. Both moments are essential, since, in the first instance, they are unlike and opposed, and their reflexion into unity has not yet come to light, they stand as two opposed forms or modes of consciousness. The one is independent whose essential nature is to be for itself, the other is dependent whose essence is life or existence for another. The former is the Master, or Lord, the latter is the Bondsman."

McGill's Nathan Chiarlitti receives Guy Lafleur Award from Habs legend
The Montreal Canadiens announced Monday that Nathan Chiarlitti, a defenceman with the McGill men's hockey team, has won the Guy Lafleur Award of Excellence for the Quebec university category as the player who best combines hockey success with academic achievement and citizenship. The 25-year-old native from Maple, Ont., becomes the 18th McGill player in 33 years to win the award – which is accompanied by a bursary valued at $6,000 over three years – since it was inaugurated in 1985. Among the former Redmen who previously won the honour is Ottawa Senators head coach Guy Boucher and ex-Montreal Canadiens left-winger Mathieu Darche.
The Habs also announced that Antoine Samuel, a goaltender with the QMJHL's Baie Comeau Drakkar, and defenceman Philippe Forcier of College Lafleche inthe Quebec Jr. AAA Hockey League, won the Guy Lafleur Award of Merit, which is accompanied by a $1,000 bursary.
Chiarlitti, who transferred to McGill from St. Francis Xavier University, previously played in the Ontario Hockey League with both Sarnia and Owen Sound and had an NHL tryout with Arizona in 2013. Recently appointed team captain of the McGill Redmen for 2017-18, Chiarlitti earned OUA East second team all-star status this season and previously was a two-time all-star with StFX. The 5-foot-11, 190-pound rearguard scored seven goals and 18 points in 30 games overall with the Redmen. In regular-season play, he tallied 13 points, including five goals in just 18 contests. He missed 10 league games while leading Canada to a bronze medal at the FISU Winter Games in Kazakhstan.
"Nathan is an elite player, who is also a high-end student and a terrific person," says Kelly Nobes, about to enter his eighth year as head coach at McGill. "He played an integral part in our success this season and led us back to the national championship tournament in Fredericton. He uses his speed and high-compete level to contribute in all aspects of the game and we are fortunate to have him on our team. Off the ice, he is relentless when it comes to volunteering for many various projects, whether they are related to McGill or the community at large."
In the classroom, Chiarlitti achieved a grade-point average of 3.91 (out of 4.0) in his first year of a master's degree in science, specializing in kinesiology and physical education. He earned Academic All-Canadian honours and qualified for the Principal's Student-athlete Honour Roll.
His community service was recognized nationally in 2016 when he received the Dr. Randy Gregg Award, a prestigious honour presented by U SPORTS to the player who best combines outstanding hockey ability with academic achievement and community involvement.
Chiarlitti has served as a volunteer for a multitude of causes, including the Canadian government program "ParticipACTION" (which encourages physical activity) and "Best Buddies" (which helps the intellectually disabled gain valuable life experiences). Some other organizations he has aided include the "Coady International Institute", which equips citizen leaders to address contemporary global challenges and opportunities. He has also volunteered with both "Fit 4 Life" and "Fit 4 Tots" (which promotes healthy lifestyles for youth), the "Antigonish Minor Hockey Association" and the Maritime Program of Hockey Excellence". He has also volunteered with "Caisis" (an online cancer data management system that integrates research with patient care), the "Canadian Assessment of Physical Literacy" and the "Thyroid Oncology Research Program" at the Queen Elizabeth Health Sciences Centre in Halifax.

Additional agenda item No. 10 PDF 225 KB
To appoint a Chairman of the Committee for the ensuing year.
RESOLVED that Mrs. Joan Jenkins be elected Chairman of the Committee for the ensuing year.
To confirm the minutes of the meeting held on 28 April 2009.
The minutes of the meeting held on 28 April 2009 were confirmed as a correct record and signed by the Chairman.
Further to Minute 12/09 – Annual Assembly of Standards Committees – Mr. Rayner invited Members of the Committee to let him or Mr. Whittley have any questions or issues that they would like them to raise when they attended the Assembly in October.
Apologies for absence were received from Messrs. D. Myers and M. Whittley.
The Chairman agreed to take two items of urgent business as follows:
a) Update on The Planning Protocol - to enable the Committee to receive an update and comment on the matter before it was re-considered at the Council meeting on 9 July 2009; and
b) The Standards Committee (Further Provisions) (England) Regulations 2009 (SI 2009 No. 1255) – Additional agenda item 10 as published in the agenda supplement prior to the meeting, to enable the Committee to receive an early update on the latest regulations which had just been received.
Planning Protocol (Previous Minute Reference 13/09)
The Consultant Solicitor reported that the Committee's recommendation on this matter made at its last meeting had been considered at the Council meeting on 28 May.
At the Council meeting, Members had been reluctant to agree to anything that appeared to constrain their relations with their constituents or their roles as Ward Members.
The Council had decided to refer the matter back to the Overview and Scrutiny Commission for further consideration. The Commission had accordingly considered the matter at its meeting on 18 June, when there was a robust discussion of the Protocol overall and in relation to concerns raised about the original wording and suggested amendment of the second bullet point in paragraph 2.1 of the Protocol.
Following its deliberations, the Overview and Scrutiny Commission concluded by recommending some other additional wording to paragraph 2.1 but also the deletion in its entirety of the second bullet point in that paragraph.
The Protocol with the amendments recommended by the Overview and Scrutiny Commission would accordingly be reconsidered at the next meeting of the Council on 9 July.
Members noted the position and that there was otherwise full support for the principle of having a Planning Protocol.
The Standards Committee (Further Provisions) (England) Regulations 2009 (SI 2009 No. 1255) (Agenda item 10) PDF 71 KB
The above additional regulations have just been received. An explanatory note is attached for Members' information and further details will be given by the Consultant Solicitor at the meeting.
The Consultant Solicitor explained that these were further interim Regulations governing Standards Committees, details of which were as summarised in the explanatory note as circulated.
The additional provisions set out the procedure by which the Standards Board for England could take back powers from a Standards Committee and set out the circumstances when that could be done.
The Regulations also set out the powers under which two or more Standards Committees could carry out functions as Joint Standards Committees.
The more important part of the Regulations related to the grant of dispensations, the revised wording of which was as highlighted in the explanatory note.
The amended Regulation in the latter item provided for the grant of dispensations to overcome a situation where otherwise the prohibition of members eligible to vote on an item of business would upset the political balance of the meeting to such an extent as to prejudice the outcome of voting in the meeting. On this point, it was noted that there had been no such cases to date but it was felt such an application could prove difficult to resolve.
The position was noted.
Application for Dispensation - Bawdeswell Parish Council (Agenda Item 7) PDF 74 KB
Bawdeswell dispensation_appendix , item 26. PDF 32 KB
RESOLVED that a dispensation be granted until May 2011 to the following named members of Bawdeswell Parish Council to enable them to speak and vote on all matters in connection with the land known as Adam's Pit to ensure the smooth running of the business of the Parish Council:
David Shannon, William Mason, Carl Beane, Alex Kirby
James Lilwall, David Cockburn and John Mallen.
Application for Dispensation – Weasenham All Saints Parish Council – Former Highways Surveyor's Land Charity (Agenda Item 8) PDF 74 KB
Weasenham dispensation_appendix , item 27. PDF 30 KB
The Consultant Solicitor explained that this application was as a result of other action in connection with a complaint dealt with by the Assessment Sub-Committee. The application was made in respect of all the members of the Parish Council, although there was one existing vacancy yet to be filled.
In view of the vacancy, it was proposed that the Monitoring Officer be given delegated authority to grant a dispensation to the new Parish Councillor when elected.
(1) a dispensation be granted until May 2011 to the following named members of Weasenham All Saints Parish Council to enable them to speak and vote on all matters in connection with the Former Highway Surveyor's Land Charity to ensure the smooth running of the business of the Parish Council:
Christopher McCarthy, Richard Bowyer, Richard Coke, Andrew Curry, Jane Elphick and Verena Varley.
(2) the Monitoring Officer be given delegated authority to grant a dispensation for the same purpose to the new member of the Parish Council when elected.
To note the date of the next meeting on Tuesday, 4 August 2009 at 2.15pm in the Norfolk Room, Conference Suite, Elizabeth House, Dereham.
Arrangements for the next meeting on 4August 2009 were noted, by which time it was hoped the awaited revised Code would have been received.

CALIFORNIA PINOT NOIR
by Tim Atkin MW
It's more than 20 years since Marq De Villiers published The Heartbreak Grape: A California Winemaker's Search for the Perfect Pinot Noir about Josh Jensen of Calera's obsession with making a West Coast red that could bear comparison with the best Burgundies. The book tells you a lot about the way the grape was perceived in the 1990s: tricky, aspirational and very much a French preserve.
A lot has changed in the intervening 23 years. Pinot Noir can still be thin-skinned and high-maintenance, but it doesn't shatter quite so many hearts these days. California, like a number of other wine regions outside Burgundy, has proved that it can make excellent examples of the variety on a consistent basis. And, just as significantly, its popularity has also been boosted by the success of the film, Sideways, whose anti-hero, Miles, was obsessed with Pinot Noir.
Indeed, Pinot Noir is now the third most planted grape in California, with 18,000 hectares under vine (nearly three times more than the Côte d'Or itself). Not everything that comes out of the Golden State bears comparison with the best wines of villages such as Gevrey-Chambertin, Vosne-Romanée and Morey-St-Denis, of course, but the best do. That said, there's less of an obsession with imitating Burgundy these days. Now, the focus is increasingly on making wines that are distinctively Californian. As a T-shirt from Saintsbury, one of the state's Pinot specialists, would have it: "Beaune in the USA".
No one knows when Pinot Noir was first imported to California – some time after the 1849 Gold Rush is the best guess – but it didn't make a significant impact until the 1940s and 1950s, thanks to the work of Beaulieu Vineyard, Inglenook and Louis Martini, and to the growing interest in sparkling wines.
It is not meant as a criticism of those pioneers to say that the quality of California Pinot Noir has improved dramatically in the last decade. There are several reasons for this. The first is better clonal material, specifically the so-called Dijon clones that were introduced in the late 1980s; the second is more judicious site selection; the third is a deeper understanding of what remains a difficult grape to grow and vinify. Many California plantings are still comparatively young when set against Burgundy – there are no 100-year-old blocks here – but as they mature, they are reflecting a growing sense of place.
Most of the state's best Pinot Noirs are influenced by the proximity and cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean in appellations such as the Anderson Valley, Carneros, the Russian River Valley, Santa Barbara County, the Santa Lucia Highlands and the Sonoma Coast. Not many people realise that parts of the West Coast are cooler than Oregon, and ideally suited to Burgundian grapes.
More often than not, as Karen MacNeil pointed out during the 2017 California Wine Summit, these top Pinots are small lot, artisanal affairs, made by committed Pinotphiles who tend to focus on this variety, but that's not always true. Producers such as Kendall Jackson and Robert Mondavi have shown that it's possible to make larger volumes of very drinkable stuff.
Tasting a range of California Pinots recently, I was struck by a number of things: the move away from excessive new oak, the lower levels of alcohol, more freshness and verve and the increasing use of a percentage of whole bunches during fermentation. There's also a desire to reflect terroir as well as vintage variation, placing individuality above consistency. The best wines from the likes of Au Bon Climat, Calera, Chamboulé, Cirq, Davies, Hirsch, Littorai, Peay, Radio Coteau, Sanford and Saintsbury are truly outstanding. It's taken a while, but the heartbreak grape has found a home in California.

Q: Does relative work done affect temperature of a body? Imagine a bus travelling at a speed of 20m/s towards the positive x-axis with respect to ground frame. That bus is quite long(just for a safer Side) and two persons 'A'and 'B' located inside that bus and thus part of a single frame(not moving relative to each other). And there is a third person 'C'(take C as ground frame for instance) standing outside.'A' has a fundamental particlein its hand(which he is going to throw). At time 't=0', 'A' throws fundamental particle towards negative x-axis(opp. of bus's motion) with a velocity of 5m/s with respect to 'A' and 'B'. Now 'A' and 'B'both will say that the work done on the particle is positive(as from their perspective the velocity is increased) but 'C' will say that the work done by 'A'on that particle is negative as velocity has been decreased( initial velocity of ball=20m/s but final velocity is= 20-5= 15m/s towards the positive x-axis). So positive work done means providing(giving) energy to an object and negative work done means taking energy from the particle. "If giving or taking energy affects the temperature of an object", how will the temperature of that particular ball will change with time?
(this is very important for me please don't close this question)

A: There are two different kinds of energy here: kinetic energy and thermal energy. And you also have to be careful not to mix up frames of reference. Sure I can pick an arbitrary frame, but I have to be consistent and I cannot switch between them without acceleration which would introduce additional energy transfers.
From C's perspective, A and B both have non-zero kinetic energy $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ but C is at rest and has zero kinetic energy. But from A and B's perspective, the opposite is true: they do not have kinetic energy but C does. However, they will all agree on each other's temperatures. If an object has kinetic (or potential) energy, it does not change their temperature.
However, let us suppose A and B each have clay ball and they throw them in unison, each at 5 m/s, so they collide and come to rest (at least within the frame of A & B). The two clay balls will experience an inelastic collision and stick together. This will convert kinetic energy to thermal energy and the mass will warm up. Now, let's say the balls were 2 kg each to make the math nice. According to $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$, each clay ball has $\frac{1}{2}*2*5^2$ or 25 Joules of kinetic energy. After colliding, the mass has 50 additional Joules of thermal energy it did not have before and it warms up.
Let's switch to C's frame. A throws a clay ball at 15 m/s and B throws theirs at 25 m/s. So A's ball has $\frac{1}{2}*2*15^2$ or 225 Joules, and B's ball has $\frac{1}{2}*2*25^2$ or 625 Joules. When they strike each other, they combine to have a total of 850 Joules. But it's now a 4 kg clay mass traveling at 20 m/s. So $\frac{1}{2}*4*20^2$ is 800 Joules of kinetic energy, leaving 50 Joules to be converted into thermal energy.
Regardless of frame, everyone agrees that the clay collision converted 50 Joules of kinetic energy into thermal energy. For this reason, when I'm doing calculations, I tend to pick a frame of reference that makes the math easier. A and B's frame is simpler to calculate in and I still get the same answers.

Medical pioneer Morris F. Collen, MD, passes at age 100
Work in medical informatics helped shaped today's use of computers in health care.
Kaiser Permanente's Morris F. Collen, MD, an original partner in The Permanente Medical Group, founder of the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research, and a pioneer in the use of computers in medicine, died on Sept. 27, 2014, at the age of 100. The cause of death was cancer, diagnosed several months after his 100th birthday.
From his time as a young doctor administering to Henry J. Kaiser's shipyard workers in Richmond, Calif. in 1942, to his pioneering work in research and medical informatics, Dr. Collen made internationally recognized contributions to Kaiser Permanente, the field of medical informatics and the public's health.
Read the New York Times Obituary »
Kaiser Permanente Heritage: Celebrating Morris Collen, MD's, 100th Birthday »
"Morrie had a very special combination of creativity, optimism, persistence and humility," said Tracy Lieu, MD, director of the Division of Research, Kaiser Permanente Northern California. "Even at age 100, he was an intellectual contributor and a powerful inspiration for our current generation of researchers and physicians. His ideas in medical informatics formed the foundation of how we use computers in health care and research today."
"Morrie Collen was one of the most dedicated, visionary leaders this nation has ever known," said Robert Pearl, MD, executive director and CEO of The Permanente Medical Group. "Fifty years ago he could see the power of technology, the importance of the Division of Research and the need for physician leadership in health care. His career in TPMG spanned seven decades, and his contributions will live on forever."
Founding physician of TPMG
Dr. Collen attended the University of Minnesota, where he earned a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering in 1935. He credits his wife Frances Bobbie Collen, a registered nurse, with steering him toward a career in medicine. In 1938 he earned his MD with distinction from the University of Minnesota School of Medicine. After an internship at Michael Reese Hospital in Chicago, a residency in internal medicine at the University of Southern California/Los Angeles County General Hospital brought him to California, where he began his career-long association with Sidney R. Garfield, MD, Kaiser Permanente's founding physician.
In 1948, Dr. Collen became one of the seven founding physicians of The Permanente Medical Group. He served as chief of medical services from 1942 to 1952 at Kaiser Permanente's Oakland hospital and was medical director in 1952 and 1953. From 1953 to 1961, he served as physician-in-chief of Kaiser Permanente's San Francisco hospital.
Pioneer in penicillin, multiphasic exams
During World War II, Dr. Collen was among the first doctors to experiment with the treatment of pneumonia as he managed a large number of cases at the Kaiser Richmond shipyards.
"When we first started, there was no treatment … except horse serum, and the people almost always got sick with serum sickness," Dr. Collen told an interviewer. "That's when we began, I would say, our first clinical research, evaluating different treatments for pneumonia."
While 90 percent of the available supplies of the new wonder drug, penicillin, went to servicemen overseas, Kaiser Permanente got the first dose available in California, which Dr. Collen used to treat an extremely ill young man. Dr. Collen was astounded by the results: "To this day I keep saying it was a miracle. He recovered."
During the 1950s, with a postwar shortage of physicians, Dr. Collen developed the multiphasic health checkup, a series of procedures and tests given to thousands of Kaiser Permanente members that screened for conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
The tests were revolutionary in that they not only saved physicians' time but also constituted a significant experiment in preventive care.
Computers in medicine
In 1961, Dr. Garfield asked Dr. Collen to attend a conference on biomedical electronics. "[Dr. Garfield] thought the time had come for doctors to use computers in patient care," Dr. Collen wrote several years ago. "Of course, he was right; and I found this meeting in New York to be very exciting."
Upon his return, Dr. Collen founded the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Department of Medical Methods Research — today's Division of Research — and built a research institution renowned as a trailblazer in drug safety, risk-factor epidemiology, health services and policy, and genetics research, among other areas. He served as its director until 1979.
Morris Collen, MD, explains to Public Health Service officials and congressmen how blood is analyzed by the equipment and results fed to a computer. Kaiser Permanente, Oakland, Calif., 1966.
By 1964, Dr. Collen's multiphasic team was manually screening 25,000 patients per year. They set to work to automate the 13-year-old health-screening exam, developing a prototype electronic health record. Results, including lab analyses, were fed by punch card into what was considered at that time to be a huge IBM mainframe computer.
In the early 1960s, it was a novel idea to store data on a drive in bits and pieces to yield comprehensive patient histories and inform the treatment of patients. But it worked, and information was then available to help doctors make informed decisions and researchers identify trends in that could lead to improvements in health care.
Population-based research
From this first computerized database, large-scale population research was born at the Division of Research. Under Dr. Collen's leadership, Kaiser Permanente became one of a handful of places in the world to start this pioneering work in medical informatics.
Over the next 40 years, the multiphasic database alone provided material for more than 500 papers published in more than 75 medical journals. Dr. Collen has more than 190 scientific papers to his credit.
Dr. Collen wrote six books on medical informatics and was honored by the American College of Medical Informatics in 1993 with the highest honor it bestows, the Morris F. Collen, MD, Medal for Outstanding Contributions to the Field of Medical Informatics.
Dr. Collen served on some 3 dozen international and national health care and scientific research governing boards and committees during his career. He was elected to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Science in 1981, and served as chair of the National Library of Medicine's Board of Scientific Counselors from 1985 to 1987. As an NLM scholar-in-residence from 1987 to 1993, he wrote a definitive history of medical applications of the computer.
Morris Collen, MD, blows out 100 candles at a symposium honoring his lifetime contribution to medical informatics, 2013.
Born on Nov. 12, 1913
On Nov. 12, 2013, Dr. Collen celebrated his 100th birthday and more than 50 years with the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Division of Research.
Well into his 100th year, Dr. Collen had continued to write and consult with DOR researchers on the management of electronic health records and databases. He was nearing completion of a comprehensive update to his 1995 book, "A History of Medical Informatics in the United States, 1950–1990," from his home in Walnut Creek, Calif. The Permanente Medical Group will ensure that the book is published posthumously.
Reflecting on nearly 7 decades of service to Kaiser Permanente and its members, Dr. Collen summed it up this way: "I have traveled the world and seen health care programs in Europe, Asia and elsewhere, and if there is such a thing as reincarnation, I am going to come back and be a Kaiser Permanente doctor."
Dr. Collen is survived by 2 sons, Barry Joel Collen of Rhode Island and Randal Collen of Santa Rosa, Calif., and a daughter, Roberta Joy Hayertz, MD, of Arroyo Grande, Calif., as well as 9 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren. His wife of 60 years, Frances Bobbie Collen, and son, Arnold Roy Collen, preceded him in death.

CONTRACT DETAILS: Oklahoma Football Coach Lincoln Riley Gets Massive Raise
(Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images)
January 31, 2019 8:13 AM ET
Oklahoma football coach Lincoln Riley is swimming in cash after a recent contract extension.
KXAN reported the following Wednesday night:
Oklahoma football coach Lincoln Riley's salary jumped to $6 million and he had his contract extended a year, through the 2023 season.
Riley's supplemental income increased from $3,475,000 to $3,975,000 and his annual retention benefit went from $500,000 annually to $700,000. He will receive an additional $1 million if he stays through April 1, 2021.
Ladies and gentlemen, that is a lot of cash, but Riley is worth every single penny. There had been a lot of speculation Riley could bolt to the NFL, but I think that's not really likely now.
He's getting an NFL salary, and he's absolutely dominating at Oklahoma. There's no reason at all to want to leave.
Home. #OUDNA
A post shared by Oklahoma Football (@ou_football) on Jan 30, 2019 at 3:21pm PST
Riley has done an incredible job with the Sooners since taking over for Bob Stoops, and now he's one of the best-paid coaches in all of America.
Of course, it certainly helps when you have quarterbacks like Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray and now Jalen Hurts. That's an embarrassment of riches at the position. (RELATED: Nick Saban Says He Appreciates What Jalen Hurts Did For Alabama Before Transferring)
It's utterly insane just how good Oklahoma has been at the position over the past few years.

Something tells me that Oklahoma is primed and ready for another incredible season. If Riley wins a national championship, then his salary could skyrocket even further.

Magic In Here: CELINE AND JULIE GO BOATING
Both the first and last twenty minutes of Jacques Rivette's celebrated but rarely screened, ambitious but not impenetrable 1974 film are absolutely sublime. Those first twenty consist of an extended chase between the two titular characters and the last twenty finds them attempting to rewrite the story they've mysteriously been written into. I'm less certain how successful everything is in-between these two sequences, though I wonder if the conclusion would still carry the same impact without them.
We first see frizzy redhead Julie sitting on a park bench, reading a fat red book with the word MAGIC in big letters on its cover. Dark-haired Celine nonchalantly strolls past and accidentally drops her sunglasses. Julie calls out, but Celine continues on her way. Thus begins a gentle game of cat-and-mouse between the two women as Julie pursues Celine through the streets of Montmartre. Celine is obviously aware of Julie's presence, leading her from one locale to another; Julie trails her as if she almost wants not to get caught while also making sure that Celine knows she's still on her trail. This entire sequence is playful, mischievous and a little flirtatious and it deftly transpires with nary any dialogue. It also sets a tone of beguiling wonderment for the whole film, as if anything can happen and probably will.
What does happen over the next two hours or so sustains that tone but does so with far less focus. Celine, a magician who also sings and Julie, a practical librarian prone to daydreaming forge a friendship less due to a meet-cute than some sort of spiritual or perhaps inexplicable force pulling them together. Gradually, we witness each woman separately finding herself a participant in a domestic drama continually reoccurring in an old mansion involving a man, two women and a sick child. Depending on who's participating, either Celine or Julie appear as the child's nursemaid. The sequence of events always concludes with the child dead from poisoning and either Celine or Julie suddenly out the street with a hard candy in their mouth, which, when sucked on allows them to witness the sequence of events again.
Like for Celine and Julie, it takes multiple occurrences for us to figure out exactly what's going on. We also get scenes that seemingly have little to do with any of this, like Julie's lengthy, hysterical audition for what appears to be a singing magician job we've seen Celine already perform. Is Rivette suggesting that his heroines are two sides of the same coin, illustrating the intense psychic depths of their connection or simply just using the two-character setup and medium of film to explore the relationship between the viewer and the viewed and how adding in a little magic realism subtly turns that relationship inside out?
It could very well be all these things, given how open-ended and inconsequential but simultaneously engaging and fun CELINE AND JULIE GO BOATING is. Eventually, the domestic drama's pieces fall into place via many reiterations and Celine and Julie consult the MAGIC book to insert themselves together into the drama in order to save the little girl. The results anticipate by decades anything from Charlie Kaufman or David Lynch regarding use of meta-narratives and dream logic. Such logic and a leisurely pace (the whole thing is just over three hours long) has limited the film's audience outside of hardcore cineastes (unavailability on DVD/Blu-Ray in this country hasn't helped, either). However, unlike various other challenging marathon-length 1970s art cinema, it's relatively accessible and rewarding enough if you just go with its flow and gently sail towards the final two scenes, both of which serve as lovely grace notes. In the first, our heroines discover how reality and fiction often become—and remain—intertwined; in the second, CAJGB delightfully turns itself into a Möbius strip, suggesting that the stories we tell don't necessarily have beginnings and endings but live on in perpetual motion.
