Lalman v Gauri Dutt: Legend and Reality
By V. Niranjan
(The following guest post is contributed by Shivprasad
Swaminathan, who is Associate Professor at the Jindal
Global Law School)
"As has often happened, in the law the case
[becomes] more important not for what the judges said but for what the legal
profession came to believe the case stood for."
P. Atiyah, Rise and
Fall of the Freedom of Contract p. 414
The Stuff of Legends
are several canonical cases which have over the years hardened into axioms. So
sure are we about the propositions we have been taught they advance, that few
of us ever feel the need to check if that is indeed what they stand for. A good
example is Tweddle v Atkinson,
which we associate with the axiom that a stranger to the contract cannot sue
upon it. It should then come to the unquestioning among us as a surprise that
the subject of Atiyah's grouse in the epigraph is indeed Tweddle v Atkinson. Atiyah alerts us to how the legend of Tweddle v Atkinson is completely at
dissonance with its reality. Tweddle v
Atkinson advanced the proposition that consideration must move from the
plaintiff to enable him to sue upon the contract. As Vernon Palmer reminds us, in
1861 when Tweddle v Atkinson was
decided, the privity of contract rule was still some time away from blipping
the radar (V. Palmer, Paths to Privity 160-165). Something
similar seems to have happened with Couturier
v Hastie (illustration (a) to
Sec. 20 of the Indian Contract Act) widely perceived as the fons et origo of the doctrine of mistake
but in reality had nothing to do with it (D. Ibbetson, Historical Introduction to the Law
of Obligations at p 228). As Ibbetson
argues, the law treatise seems to have played a crucial role in creating a legend
of these cases which did not match the reality. Sometimes, the law treatise
writers wanted the case to stand for a theory they were vigorously advancing
and as a result the case was twisted to make a procrustean fit with the theory.
In other cases, the result could be attributed to nothing more than an error on
the part of text book writers: such as is the case with Lalman v Gauri Datt.
Lalman
v Gauri Datt
prominently in the canon of cases every student who has gone through a course
on Indian contract law must know is Lalman
v Gauri Datt (1913) 40 ALJ 489. An internet search for Lalman v Gauri Datt throws up a great number of results all
confirming one proposition—that a person without the knowledge of the offer
cannot accept it. Standard textbooks on contract law confirm this understanding
of the case.
therefore an offer cannot be accepted unless and until it has been brought to
the knowledge of the person to whom it is made. This principle enabled the
Allahabad High Court in Lalman v Gauri
Datt to deal with a matter involving a very crucial question on this point.
Defendant's
nephew absconded from home. He sent his servant in search of the boy. When the
servant had left, the defendant by handbills offered to pay Rs.501 to anybody
discovering the boy. The servant came to know of this offer only when he had
already traced the missing child. He, however, brought an action to recover the
reward. But his action failed. (Avtar Singh, Contract and Specific Relief 10th ed. p.10)
is confirmed by other standard text books as well.
plaintiff did not know the handbills when he found the boy. It was held that
the plaintiff was not entitled to the reward. It has been held that contractual
obligations do not arise if services are offered which in fact fulfill the
terms of the offer, but are performed in ignorance of the fact that the offer
exists. (Pollock and Mulla, The Indian Contract Act, 1872 14th
ed p.51)
Shukla was Gauri Datt's munib or
clerk at Kanpur (then Cawnpore). When Datt's nephew went missing, Lalman was
dispatched to Haridwar to look for the nephew. After Lalman left for Haridwar,
Datt announced a reward of Rs.501 for anyone who found his nephew. Lalman traced the nephew to Rishikesh and
brought him back to Kanpur. Later he filed a suit for his reward. Datt, the
defendant, resisted the suit by arguing that the plaintiff could not accept an
offer he was not aware of. Lalman countered this with the claim that even
though the reward was announced after he left, the handbills of the advertisement
had been sent to him in Haridwar. He also claimed that a subsequent promise to
pay the reward was made to him by the defendant. The trial court dismissed the
suit on the basis that: (i) that the
offer of reward was announced after the plaintiff had left; and (ii) there was no subsequent promise to
pay the reward. In revision, the Allahabad High Court, affirmed (ii) but rejected (i). That should have been
enough to reverse the trial court's decision and hold for the plaintiff but the
High Court held for the defendant on an entirely different point, namely, that
of consideration.
Banerji
J held that the plaintiff being an employee of the defendant was already under
a pre-existing legal obligation to look for the nephew when required by the
plaintiff. Although, it was not in the ordinary scope of duties as a munib, "when he agreed to go to Haridwar in search of the boy he undertook that
particular duty and there was an obligation on him to search for and trace out
the boy"[p.493]. Accordingly, the Court held:
under that obligation which he had incurred before the reward in question was
offered, he cannot, in my opinion, claim the reward. There was already a
subsisting obligation and therefore the performance of the act cannot be
regarded as consideration for the defendant's promise. [p 493]
court applied the pre-existing duty rule found instantiated in cases such as Stilk v Myrick
(1809) 2 Camp 317 (this case was not,
however, referred to by the court) to hold that the promise to pay was without
consideration and hence would not amount to an enforceable contract. The
doctrinal basis for this rule is that the promisee who is under a pre-existing
duty suffers no fresh detriment, nor does the promisor derive any fresh
benefit—benefit and detriment being the hall marks of consideration at English
law. This point—that the pre-existing duty rule was dispositive of the case—has
not got the attention it deserves, and as we shall note in the following
section, raises far reaching questions about the definition of consideration
under s. 2 (d) of the Indian Contract Act, 1872.
the point of acceptance—the issue on which Lalman
v Gauri Datt has come to be the locus
classicus—the court, in fact, held in favour of the plaintiff. The court
reversed the finding of the trial court that the alleged acceptance was in
ignorance of the offer as it found that the handbills had been sent to the
plaintiff in Haridwar. The court also added that plaintiff, in the case of a
public offer such as this is entitled to an "inference" that the acceptance was
valid [p.493], which is to say, with knowledge of the offer. In other words,
the court had no difficulty in finding that there was a valid offer and
acceptance, and hence agreement, in the case. Banerji J did observe obiter that an acceptance without the
knowledge of an offer is not valid [p. 492], but that was not a vice that the
acceptance in this case suffered from. Thus, while no one can cavil with the
proposition that there can be no acceptance without knowledge of the
offer—albeit found obiter in this
case—it would be plainly wrong to suppose that this was the reason the
plaintiff's action failed in the case.
The Outstanding
is striking about the judgment in Lalman
v Gauri Datt is that not once does s 2(d) of the Indian Contract Act find
mention and the court proceeds to hold that the agreement in the case trips up
on the consideration hurdle, on the assumption that the definition of
consideration in s 2(d) is the same as the English definition replete with
elements of benefit and detriment. To be sure, even at the time the case was
decided, there was considerable support for the proposition that s 2(d) does
nothing more than restate the English definition of consideration, in the form
of the commentaries of Pollock and Mulla (Indian
Contract Act, 1872 2nd ed. 1909 p. 14, 25) and Whitley Stokes
(Anglo Indian Codes 1888 p. 497). And
there was also authority in the form of the Bombay High Court's judgment in Ramchandra
Chintaman v Kalu Raju (1878) 2 ILR Bom 362
which held that a promise to do something the promisee is already under a
pre-existing duty to do does not amount to consideration. But the question that
did not then receive the attention it deserved—and arguably never did
thereafter either—was whether a pre-existing duty rule could ever be pressed
out of out of s 2(d) which contained no reference to benefit or detriment. If any act or abstinence or promise at the
desire of the promisor is consideration, it should hardly matter whether such
act also amounts to a benefit or detriment, let alone an additional or fresh
benefit or detriment. A hundred years on, we find that benefit and detriment
has been interpolated into the definition of consideration with the approval of
the Supreme Court of India in Chidambaraiyer v
Renga Iyer [1965] AIR SC
and standard text books take it as axiomatic. The English common law may after
a long struggle have liberated itself somewhat from the shackles of 'benefit'
and 'detriment' in William v Roffey
Bros [1991] 1 QB
but we in India continue to endorse the old definition of consideration,
replete with elements of benefit and detriment, which is manifestly without any
basis qua interpretation of s 2(d). Disputing this received wisdom here would
take us far afield and thus must await another occasion. It should suffice for
now to adumbrate the issue and alert us to the fact that the foundations of the
case law on consideration in India might be a lot less sure than we may have
been led to believe. Lalman v Gauri Datt
ought to serve as a reminder of those shaky foundations.
V. Niranjan
Badri says:
An extremely good post. Two key takeaways- one, that the cases, like the passing the message game, are totally misunderstood due to passage of time; two, the mindboggling refusal to rely on the Indian Contract Act while deciding a contract-related case and the over-relience on English precedents and law.
Pl. keep coming up with such nice ones. Rarely do we find such incisive writing on Indian Contract law.
vswami says:
The longstanding and persistently voiced conviction of a widely renowned towering legal legend is worth recalling ; for , that had the same message to convey and advocated for,backed-up by lifelong experience and expertise, for an awakening among the legal fraternity:
Only excellence in lawyers can ensure and bring about the avowed -for -ideal outcome of excellence in law (< case law); and
it is a tragedy- no gainsaying- that, most inconclusive litigation of vexing kind are lawyer-stimulated.

Slab on Grade Versus Framed Flooring
Most homes are built on either slab or raised frame foundations.
1 Costs of Building a Foundation
2 Frame on a Stem Wall
3 Fix a Settled Floor
4 Types of Foundation Repair
The two most common types of residential foundation are slab on grade and raised frame, or crawl space foundations. There are many differences between the two, with varied opinions on which is better. As with most construction issues, it depends partly on the project, and partly on personal preference. Since this issue is at the very heart of your home's construction, it is best to educate yourself before making a choice.
Slab Foundations
The two basic types of slab foundations are the monolith and the stem wall. Monolithic foundations are poured as a single form, with the outside edge, about the width of the wall, being 10 to 12 inches deep and the center of the slab typically 4 to 6 inches deep. A stem wall foundation is poured in multiple parts. The outside edge is poured first, slightly deeper than the frost line to prevent upheaval. Once the stemwall has cured, the slab is poured on top of it to complete the foundation.
Raised Frame Foundations
Raised frame foundations are built with poured footings surrounding the foundation. The footings will take one of three forms. A continuous spread foundation is poured similar to a stem wall, with the footing surrounding the outside edge of the home. Spot footings are poured at the corners and at regular intervals along the outside edge. Grade beam footings are poured around the foundations and dividing footings break up the area into sections. The foundation is built up in piers from the top of the poured wall with blocks. The outside edge of the floor frame is called the rim joist and is made from heavy lumber. The rim joist is connected with lumber joists running between them.
Plumbing and mechanical systems are often run through the foundation. With slab foundations, this can be problematic. Shifting earth often lifts portions of slab foundations, causing cracks and damaging plumbing and vent ducts. One benefit to the slab is that the pipes require no further insulation. With a raised foundation, the installation of plumbing and ductwork is simplified. Repairs and adjustments are much less complex, since the mechanical elements are all exposed. This also saves time during the inspection process, since other work can continue if inspection is delayed. With slabs, repairs are less frequently needed, but can be very costly and time-consuming when required.
Shifting soil, tree roots and eroding soil underneath home foundations can cause the foundation to shift, affecting doors and windows and causing frame elements to become misaligned. With raised frame foundations, adjustments can be made using jacks to realign the foundation. Slab foundations are much more difficult to level. Many times, all that can be done is to tie the foundation to a pier to prevent further slippage.

GR:AW - Xbox 360
GR: Advanced Warfighter
two things i don't really like too much
By Moonwalker,
March 3, 2006 in GR:AW - Xbox 360
Don't get me wrong, i'm looking forward to this game just as much as ya'll. But i just want to tell the things i don't really like too much.
1-I've just seen the Co-Op movies on IGN and i simply don't like them, what's up with the graphics? They look good, but nowhere near the SP movies, and that's not hard to see.
Maybe i just have to play it before i can judge it, but i'm just kinda sad that i can't look at those movies and be like "Good lord" cause when wathcing those SP movies, i do say to myself "holy crap" you know. Maybe it's because i dislike playing in first person view
but i'm not too impressed with that footage, then again...maybe i need to see this is HD too.
2-ONLY 4 co-op maps ? WHY? all the previous GR's had alot of maps for co-op.
And in the previous GR's you could select any kind of map and do battle , just killing terrorists, i really do hope that is still in the game, cause i used to play that alot.
I really never played much team DM and the likes, mostly me and other players against
the A.I.
W1ngsh0t
I beleive the "4" Coop maps are the coop missions that are seperate form the SP missions. I would suspect that you will be able to play coop firefight, hamburger hill etc. on all the MP maps.

Honestly, i know where you are coming from, but hold off on the mp graphics concern. believe me i know the movies dont show it, but i have seen the game in motion and you will not be dissapointed. I was quite blown away but not only the clarity and dam near photo realistic maps. but the character detail was amazing. YOU CAN SEE THE UNDERARMOR LOGO on your headgear !!! Its amazing seriouisly. And as far as only 4 coop maps, lets remember that RSE is really good at getting content out. GR2 wasnt out very long (compared to other major franchises) before RSE got not one, but i believe 3 downloadable packs for it, all containing, weapons , maps, uniforms, and modes. In addition, Summit Strike was out for only 4 months, and they already have put out a downloadable pack for it, and it was a pretty good one, that included some great weapons, and maps. Have faith. i promise you the MP looks astounding in person. i am sure "NYR", or someone can back me up on this.

MP in nicaragua, SP in mexico, but i must say though, only 4 levels, still, better than three.
That's very good then, terrorist hunt on all maps, that's definitely a relief. cause i love to play those maps with other players against the computer, always did that.
chill out moonwalker, graphics is much better then shown on pics and videos
cobaka
I may be wrong, but I thought in one of the interviews they said you "start off" with 4 co-op maps, which I took to mean there would be more as dlc.
Camaroguy579
Boohoo, another negative thread. If you are buying this game soley for the CO-Op, then you are selling yourself waaay short.
definitely not, i cant wait to try SP out.
And i've seen the new MP vids on Teamxbox and very impressed with those, so i'm kinda changing my view on it now, i'm seeing good things
And i only see nothing but praise for GRAW, so there's nothing wrong with some criticism.
Edited March 3, 2006 by Moonwalker
Well all i have seen is people whining about no demo and blah blah. No offense meant by it.....
Edited March 3, 2006 by Camaroguy579
EasyCo
I agree 100% co-op has always been a big part of GR. I have always enjoyed co-op the most. I'm upset they somewhat skipped over this part of the game. I really don't understand why they did this.
As for the DLC, I dont want to wait months until I get a new co-op map. It's even been reported that they MIGHT send new co-op maps if it's a popular feature. So you might not even get it. I would rather have a finished game. No one asked me though.
It still looks like a great game and probably will the best one for the 360.
Edited March 3, 2006 by EasyCo
ReapeR eXe
One recent article talked about how they are currently working on the new content for GRAW.....I'm sure it will feature new maps for MP and the co-op game play.
One thing GR has done in the past is create new downloadable content for its fans....it seams that they do listen and read these forums (among others) and give us the gamer what we want....for the most part.
No such thing as a perfect game..otherwise why would they consider GR4......?
why is that, i bought the game first for the coop, with my clan. then sp and squad.

The Tiny Tim was an American air to ground rocket used near the end of the Second World War. One source states it was built in response to a United States Navy requirement for an anti-shipping rocket capable of hitting ships outside of their anti-aircraft range, with a payload capable of sinking heavy shipping.[1] However, according to the China Lake Weapons Digest,[2] the Tiny Tim was
... designed by the Caltech-China Lake team as a bunker-buster, Tim was the first large aircraft rocket, and, although it saw only limited service in WWII, it helped form the foundations of many postwar developments in rocketry.
For a warhead, Tiny Tim utilized a 500 lb semi-armor-piercing high explosive bomb. It had a maximum range of 1,500 meters (1,640 yards).
They were used by the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps near the end of the war during the battle of Okinawa, and during the Korean War. A problem with the sheer power of the rocket motor causing damage to the firing aircraft was resolved by having the Tiny Tim drop like a bomb, and a lanyard attached to the rocket would snap, causing the rocket to ignite.[3] Common targets included coastal defense guns, bridges, pill boxes, tanks, and shipping.[4] An ambitious operation to use the Tiny Tim against German V-1 sites as part of Operation Crossbow, code-named Project Danny, was planned but cancelled before the squadrons assigned could be deployed to Europe.
Common Tiny Tim delivery aircraft during World War II included the PBJ-1 Mitchell,[5] F4U Corsair, F6F Hellcat, TBM Avenger, and the SB2C Helldiver.[1]
Alexis B. Dember with Tiny Tim rocket casing, Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, 1953. Notice the 24 smaller exhaust nozzles arranged in two concentric circular patterns around the larger center exhaust nozzle.[6]
After World War II, the United States Navy's rocket laboratory at Inyokern, California developed an even larger version of the Tiny Tim, called "Richard", which was 14 inches in diameter and most likely the largest air to surface unguided rocket ever developed for the US military. While tested, it was never placed in production. The United States Navy also experimented with a version of the Tiny Tim which was a two-stage rocket, with another Tiny Tim rocket motor mounted behind a complete Tiny Tim. Like the Richard, it never moved beyond the R&D stage.[7]

Parking Authority Audit Shows Unpaid Tickets Hurt School Funding the Most. City Council Wants to Make That Worse.
(3rd District Councilmember Jannie Blackwell)
Auditor Eugene DePasquale released the results of two audits his office conducted of the Philadelphia Parking Authority this morning, in the wake of the sexual harassment scandal that brought down former Executive Director Vince Fenerty.
DePasquale describes Fenerty's tenure as the "reign of an unchecked tyrant," and argues PPA mismanagement and corruption likely cost the School District of Philadelphia about $77.9 million over the last 5 years.
The information detailed in the release is pretty damning, and raises some serious "what did they know, and when did they know it" questions about the PPA Board's handling of the harassment findings. And there's a lot more to chew on in the 213-page audit, which we'll be taking a few passes at here on the blog.
Today we want to focus on the revenue collections issues raised by DePasquale's office, since they have direct bearing on a really bad City Council bill which, unfortunately, is getting its second reading today of all days, and could get a full Council vote as early as next week.
The bill in question (No. 160111), introduced by Councilmember Jannie Blackwell (District 3), originally would have granted amnesty for all parking tickets and penalties issued before 2013, as long as vehicle owners paid all fines and penalties incurred since 2013. The owner could also receive amnesty by entering into payment plans on post-2013 fines/penalties. And the bill would also forgive towing and storage fees incurred before 2015 if vehicle owners pay 30% of the amount owed.
Amendments introduced by Blackwell today would allow delinquent ticket-holders who haven't incurred tickets since 2013 to pay just $50 and get their whole debt wiped clean.
This is problematic for several reasons. First, nobody is alleging that the PPA wrongfully issued these tickets. People racked up the tickets fair and square, and it's not clear why bailing them out would be a high priority use for taxpayer dollars, over other things we might want to spend the money on.
Second, this is going to cost the School District millions—if not tens of millions—of dollars over the next few years. The Kenney administration and the School District are both opposing the bill, believing it would deprive Philly schools of a non-trivial amount of revenue. One estimate we heard put the total at $22 million over 5 years. If any Councilmembers had bothered to request a fiscal impact statement, we'd have a better estimate, but the bottom line is that this could be real money, and Council currently has no idea how much they're voting to spend on their parking scofflaw bailout.
This is also a big break with the City's usual policy of never forgiving the principal owed, only the interest, fees, and penalties. And it could also reduce ticket payments going forward, since nobody is going to trust that this is really just a one-time bailout. Once you bail out the scofflaws, people are reasonably going to expect you'll do it again at some point, and hold off on paying their tickets.
To bring it back to the Auditor General's report, DePasquale's office found that uncollected parking fees are "the bulk of the funds" that the Parking Authority is failing to transfer to the City and School District:
The bulk of funds the school district potentially missed out on comes from the district's share ($76.8 million) of the $107,929,542 in uncollected parking fines and fees between 2012 and 2017. Auditors noted that since 1990, PPA has failed to collect more than $580 million in outstanding parking tickets and associated fees.
"All outstanding revenue PPA does not collect is funding lost to the school district and the city," DePasquale noted. "Every effort should be made to collect unpaid ticket revenue to increase the amount that can be used to educate students in the district.
"I guarantee you this, if PPA staff didn't get paid until all revenue was collected, they would find a way to get 100 percent of the funds. They should work just as hard for students in the district."
City Council's problem, of course, is that they think the Parking Authority is doing too good of a job at collecting unpaid parking fees, and they want PPA to lighten up on this.
Lots of people were outraged recently, for example, when the Parking Authority started getting more aggressive on revenue collection by booting cars for outstanding tickets, some of which were 20 years old. But the flipside of this is that PPA has also been sending a lot more money to the School District since Clarena Tolson was installed as interim Executive Director in the wake of the harassment scandal.
People want the PPA to be more of a patsy on parking enforcement, and also more of a cash cow, but these two desires are strongly in tension with each other.
As the audit makes clear, patronage and shifty contracting practices cost real money, but the bulk of the revenue leakage problem is about PPA's failure to collect the ticket revenue that residents owe them. Councilmember Blackwell's bill would make this problem worse, not better, and before voting it into law next week, members have a responsibility to at least try to figure out how much worse they're going to make it.

Real designers work with you to find your perfect look.
Get a beautiful new design, with optional moving slideshow on the home page.
A real designer will work with you to get you a unique design.
All your content is preserved from your current Connected Sound website; including your calendar, images, and menu structure.
To put it simply: Having a mobile-friendly site helps people find you. Google ranks you much higher if your website is properly configured for mobile-readiness, and people who click on to your site from their devices immediately know that your chorus is current.
All of our new designs adhere to current mobile standards, and navigation is simple and intuitive.
After doing hundreds and hundreds of chorus websites, we've come to this understanding about design: people don't usually know what they want until they see it.
That's why our design process is interactive. You pick a starter design from a gallery of designs, give us your notes and any images or logos you want included, and real designers here at Connected Sound will develop several different looks based on your input. You can then give feedback based on what you're seeing, and the designers will come back with another round. Only when you are 100% happy with the look of your new design will we move on to the next phase.
In the process of upgrading your current Connected Sound site to the new platform, we'll make sure all your content on your old site is brought into the new system, and that your menu architecture is totally intact.
We'll have your new site on a temporary domain, so you can of course revamp your content before going live. But this will give you a good starting point, and should be able to go live right away or work on it later if you prefer.
Bring new life to your website with easy new tools.
We are very happy to introduce the Quartz Management System, after 2 years of development. Since opening our doors in 2009, we've learned a lot about what exactly choruses need to have a powerful and effective website. And we've especially focused on making it EASY to manage.
The Admin section of your chorus, region or quartet site has been redesigned from the ground up, with specific focus on ease of user experience and workflow.
The admin menus are laid out graphically, and help videos and articles are offered contextually. All elements that can be styled, such as the home page, your sidebar, even your audio players, have a "Style" submenu item, which allows you to fine tune the look of that element.
Our revolutionary Quartz Styling System gives you the power to style complex content, lists, forms, and even your home page, with the movement of a few dials and faders. Designers have set the parameters so that nothing you do ever looks bad. But it gives you the power to get it to look exactly how you want it.
The first page people generally see when they click on to your website is your home page. Let's make it a great first impression.
The new Home Page Manager helps you get just the right imagery in your slideshow and "calls to action," and all the colors and fonts tuned just so.
Updating the content is as easy as putting data into fields, and styling them with controls that are fun and simple to use.
The "About" page on your site has a list of your Board of Directors. Your Quartets page has a list of your Quartets. Your Members Only side has many lists, like your Music Team and other groups. But those pages are notoriously a chore to update and to style to where it looks good. Not anymore. Our List Manager lets you create unlimited numbers of lists, enter them sensibly into fields, and then style them later with the fun and easy Quartz Styling System.
Our new suite of Members tools gives you the ability to track your members' rehearsal attendance, future event attendence, proficiency on music, and even stats on their use of the learning track player. All members' music, lyric sheets, and notes are bundled with the audio, and are easily accessed from mobile devices.
Duet with another part. Omit 1 or more parts. Learning your repertoire just got a lot faster and easier with this powerful tool. And of course you can download your part at any time with ease.
The player is now fully functional on any mobile device, so you can practice your part, changing the mix, from anywhere.
This Fall we'll be unveiling a complete library of learning tracks, available for purchase through the player itself, an "iTunes" of sorts for the learning track player.
We have a new event manager that lets you create new events, whether rehearsals or performances, that will text or email your members details and allow them to respond about attendance. The event manager will give leadership a graphical view of attendance by part.
Expanding on our "Shout-Outs," The new community boards system will let your members easily communicate on a variety of topics, and threads they create. Members can get texts, tweets, or email alerts, or get complete digests of discussions going on daily.
The new Quartz system makes it very easy to roll out new features and updates to your site. ALL future upgrades will be FREE.
We'll be taking your feedback on all of our components, and working to improve the system as a whole. Meanwhile we have even more exciting new components that are nearing completion. Due out this summer are several key new components, including a powerful new newsletter system, riser placement module, and a personalized merchandise plug-in that will let you sell your chorus' or quartet's brand on a variety of merchandise options (not just cafepress!) -- great for fundraising.
Let's get your search rankings up to the top of the results.
Your new mobile-friendly site will get you better results for starters.
We also have new tools to keep your search results high.
We'll assist you in getting social media working for you.
Google announced this year that having a properly configured mobile site now gets your chorus much better search results. And one of the main purposes to a great website is of course getting "clickthroughs" - bringing people into your content, and discovering who you are.
But more than just "getting good results," we want you to get fresh faces into your chorus. To do that, it's worth taking advantage of this new site, new look, and new tools, to really take a moment and think about how best to present yourself.
Our new Search Optimization component helps you do that. From getting the right keySounds and layout on your homepage, to the best use of social media, we can guide you to maximum results - new people walking through those doors!

Six reasons why Labour should rule out an SNP deal
There is a rule in electoral pact-making, and pretty much any card game, which is fairly universal: don't show your hand to the other players.
That is, don't rule anything in and don't rule it out. You have nothing to gain (you can fritter away your negotiation leverage when agreeing the pact) and everything to lose, in the event that you find yourself in a different situation from that expected and have to eat your words. Obvious, really. Wait until the moment comes and deal with things when you have all the information.
But it could also be argued that there one sensible exception to that rule: if the mere hint of a pact with another party could be damaging to yours even before the election. Especially when things are balanced on a knife-edge and almost anything could affect the result.
That has never really been the case with the Lib Dems: until 2010 they were a slightly dull, modestly successful and broadly respectable opposition party, whether we liked it or not. Now they are bloodied with the hard work of actual government and potentially facing a big hit at the polls, they are possibly less attractive partners. But neither are they toxic.
The same cannot necessarily be said for some other parties. Cameron would have to tread very carefully indeed in the unhappy event of ending in a coalition with UKIP, unlikely though that might seem – the toxicity of some of its members could sit ill with his (mostly) respectable party.
But worse still is the idea of a partnership between Labour and the SNP. Here's why.
First, public perception. In Scotland the SNP is seen – at least by some – as a serious, governing party. In England, most people remember it as it was for most of its history, a small party full of cranks.
The impression left on the rest of the UK by the referendum has mostly been that this is no longer correct: it is now a large party full of cranks (if you think this too harsh, try going on to Twitter and criticising the SNP without being set upon by a pack of crazed CyberNats).
Second, the break-up of the Union. Call me old-fashioned, but I think most Britons are pretty fond of it, albeit in a rather understated, British way. We are not big flag-wavers.
Now, what was the most historically important political event of this parliament? Why, without doubt, the independence referendum.
What we saw last September was that apparently the most separatist-minded part of mainland UK was not, after all, that separatist-minded. However, non-Scots, too, saw the edge of the abyss. That it really might have happened. How happy do you think those people are to see Labour playing footsie with the very people who want to make it happen? And how would Miliband be remembered if it were to happen on his watch?
Third, the poorness of fit between the two parties. In Scotland, it is no exaggeration to say the two parties pretty much hate each other, and a divisive referendum made that sentiment stronger, not weaker. But worse, it is surely wanton cannibalism to take the very party which is close to wiping you out in your homelands and enter into a pact with it.
For example, Cameron's unsellable message to Europhobes is "there is one party which would really do something about immigration from Europe, but don't vote for it, vote for us instead".
Similarly, a pact-seeking Labour Party's message to undecided Scots is "the SNP will likely form part of our government anyway but, hey, please vote for us not them". Not good, is it? And much less so when the prospect of a Scottish wipeout is staring you in the face.
Fourth, because it is a gift to the Tories. Cameron – aided and abetted by his predecessor-but-three, John Major – last weekend pressed the point, because it is good electoral tactics. He knows how unpopular the SNP is everywhere but Scotland (and it's not even that popular there. It did lose a referendum and a leader in the last six months, which might reasonably be viewed as somewhat careless).
Fifth, because by pacting you exacerbate the meltdown already threatening Scottish Labour. As it is, rebuilding the party will be a slow and painful process.
Although the reality may be end up being a bit less cataclysmic than polls suggest, there is no need to turn a strong possibility into a racing certainty.
Sixth, because in order to leave a pact on the table, you have to see it as remotely workable – this isn't. A fairly unpopular leader with an even more unpopular leader (in England at least) as coalition partner. With strong pressure within both parties to defy economic gravity and end austerity. And, of course, the very real threat of Scottish secession; with a battered Scottish Labour Party probably in open revolt after a coalition deal, a second referendum would have ideal timing. It is difficult to think of a governing model less suited to stable, successful government.
As Sam Dale has already written here at Uncut, such a coalition presents basic issues of economic and political stability, which could easily dog an SNP-Labour coalition. And, as was also written here, it seems pretty likely that Labour's leadership would take it, at least if there were no other palatable option. And, as former Labour MP Eric Joyce argues here, a full coalition is not as unlikely as people think.
That would be a mistake of epic proportions.
So, it is not just that it wouldn't work – its very mention is damaging to Labour. It conjures up an image of a hotch-potch government, whose senior partner, to stay in power, concedes policies with whichever wackos they need to, whether it be for economic fairyland or the break-up of the nation, or both.
Politically, not a good look. And Britain is a country with a history of political evolution, not revolution.
The truth is that Miliband realises that he will probably need to govern with a partner and, in the heat of a post-election scramble, things will surely move fast.
But, as they say: marry in haste, repent at leisure.

Q: How to define a directory instead of a single file to send multiple pictures as part of MIME message in Python I'm following these examples -> https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/email-examples.html  to send a MIME message, which can attach pictures.
This example code is giving me trouble:
# Import smtplib for the actual sending function
import smtplib

# Here are the email package modules we'll need
from email.mime.image import MIMEImage
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart

COMMASPACE = ', '

# Create the container (outer) email message.
msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['Subject'] = 'Our family reunion'
# me == the sender's email address
# family = the list of all recipients' email addresses
msg['From'] = me
msg['To'] = COMMASPACE.join(family)
msg.preamble = 'Our family reunion'

# Assume we know that the image files are all in PNG format
for file in pngfiles:
    # Open the files in binary mode.  Let the MIMEImage class automatically
    # guess the specific image type.
    with open(file, 'rb') as fp:
        img = MIMEImage(fp.read())
    msg.attach(img)

# Send the email via our own SMTP server.
s = smtplib.SMTP('localhost')
s.send_message(msg)
s.quit()

Specifically this:
for file in pngfiles:
# Open the files in binary mode.  Let the MIMEImage class automatically
# guess the specific image type.
with open(file, 'rb') as fp:
    img = MIMEImage(fp.read())
msg.attach(img)

pngfiles is not defined and I don't know how to define it. I tried:
pngfiles = "C:\\Users\\Public\\Documents\\FamilyPics"

But whenever I run the code it returns:
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Users\\Public\\Documents\\FamilyPics'

I understand that this error appears because I'm giving it a directory instead of a specific file. I can send a single picture if I point directly to the picture and its name with the use of:
path = 'C:\\Users\\Public\\Documents\\FamilyPics\\picture.png'
f = open(path, 'rb')
img = MIMEImage(f.read())
msg.attach(img)

But I really can't figure out, how to point to the directory that contains multiple pictures instead of single specific file. Please help. Here is my full code that works for sending a single file:
import smtplib

from email.mime.image import MIMEImage
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText

me = 'my_email'
me_pass = 'my_pass'
family = 'receiver_email'

COMMASPACE = ', '

text = """\
Hi,
How are you?
:)
"""

part1 = MIMEText(text, "plain")

msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['Subject'] = 'Our family reunion'
msg['From'] = me
msg['To'] = COMMASPACE.join(family)
msg.preable = 'Our family reunion'

path = 'C:\\Users\\Public\\Documents\\FamilyPics\\picture.png'
f = open(path, 'rb')
img = MIMEImage(f.read())
msg.attach(part1)
msg.attach(img)

s = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
s.ehlo()
s.starttls()
s.ehlo()

s.login(me, me_pass)

s.send_message(msg, me, family)
s.quit()

A: The pngfiles is the list of png files.
So you may need this:
def find_by_postfix(postfix, folder):
    for root, _, files in os.walk(folder):
        for file in files:
            if file.endswith(postfix):
                yield os.path.join(root, file)

pngfiles = find_by_postfix('.png', path)

Then you know what png files are:)

Red foxes live in most of Asia, Europe, and in the northern parts of North America. Gray foxes live in most of the United States, Mexico, Central America, and in parts of South America.
Foxes are found in farmlands and forests, deserts, and in wooded areas of some cities. They live in family groups while they are young. Adults live alone or in pairs. Foxes do not live in packs like wolves do. Foxes live in dens during the winter. The den may be underground, in caves, among rocks, or in hollow logs or trees.
Foxes are skillful hunters. They eat almost any animal they can catch. Foxes especially like mice and other kinds of rodents. They also hunt birds, frogs, insects, lizards, and rabbits. Most foxes eat many kinds of fruits. They may even eat the remains of a dead animal. Foxes hide their uneaten food by burying it. They hunt mostly at night.
What if they live near your home?
Problems associated with foxes include depredation on small livestock such as, chickens, rabbits, and young lambs, and their potential to carry disease organisms. Small domestic animals may also be preyed on. Sometimes a fox will dig dens around residential areas, they may also dig holes under fencing or buildings to gain entry.If you need fox removal services, call Shumaker"s animal control anytime 443-854-8072.
Foxes are normally extremely wary of humans and are not kept as pets.

Coronavirus- fears of its spread to Europe

Coronavirus- 70% chances of its arrival in Europe
Inserm has concluded that there is 33-70 per cent risk of a patient arriving in Europe by air.
According to the National Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm) France- there is up to a 70 per cent chance of a patient carrying the deadly coronavirus arriving in Europe. The deadly coronavirus has originated from China and there are fears that it might spread to other countries. Many countries have already placed precautionary measures at airports to scan the passengers coming from China.
The National Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm) analysed flight paths between Europe and China, where hundreds of people have contracted the previously unseen virus. The outbreak has killed 26 people after appearing first at a seafood market in the Chinese city of Wuhan, a key international transit hub.
Although Chinese authorities have moved swiftly to quarantine 13 cities, cases have already been confirmed in South Korea, Japan, Thailand and the United States.
The Inserm has said in a statement that "Given air traffic patterns, the countries most exposed are Germany and Britain," It said the results were not a prediction, but simply a calculation of the probability of the disease reaching a given country.

Clare Crawley & Dale Moss' Astrological Compatibility Is Jaw-Dropping
The rumors are true, y'all: Season 16 Bachelorette Clare Crawley found love… and she did it way sooner than anyone (especially Chris Harrison) expected. From the moment he stepped out of the limo, it was clear Dale Moss was more than just a front-runner, and it only took four episodes before he got down on one knee. Three months later, the two seem more in love than ever, but IMO, their incredible connection isn't a huge surprise, considering Clare Crawley and Dale Moss's astrological compatibility. Sorry, Chris Harrison, but Crawley and Moss "blew up" Season 16 of The Bachelorette for a pretty good reason.
Crawley was born on March 20, which makes her a Pisces. Moss's birthday falls on Sept. 24, making him a Libra. As both signs are known for being loving, loyal, and incredibly generous, Pisces and Libra are a match made in astrological heaven. These two also have reputations as total romantics who believe in grand gestures and happily-ever-afters, so in relationships, they bring all the passion. Though Pisces and Libra def have their differences, they tend to complement rather than annoy each other, as one sign's weakness is the other sign's strength. Basically, Pisces and Libra are the ultimate power couple.

Pisceans are pretty emotional, and since they're not afraid to make themselves vulnerable, they expect their partner will be just as willing to open up. When asked during a March 2020 interview on Good Morning America what she looks for in a partner, Crawley explained, "I want a man who's strong, who's willing to take off the body armor, open himself up, and be vulnerable." As deeply empathetic individuals, the fish of the zodiac make some of the best listeners, but if their SO isn't willing to get #deep with them, then it's pretty much impossible for Pisceans to make a meaningful connection.
As dreamy idealists, Pisceans are looking for that can't-eat, can't-sleep, reach-for-the-stars, over-the-fence, World Series kind of stuff, and they never give up on finding love, no matter how many frogs they have to kiss along the way. During a June 2020 appearance on the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast, Crawley told Rachel Lindsay and Becca Kufrin why she thinks being "picky" isn't a bad thing. "The best piece of advice I can say is I personally would rather be spending 20 years with the man of my dreams being wholly loved for who I am rather than 50, 60 years with the wrong man," she said, and that's some big Pisces energy right there.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CGvAgQrhW3Z/
While Pisceans tend to be on the stubborn side, Libra may just be the most adaptable sign of the zodiac. These intuitive, sensitive individuals are far more concerned with others' needs than their own, and — unlike Pisces — they rarely let their emotions get the best of them. Even after Moss's NFL career ended due to a shoulder injury, he didn't let the setback dull his Libra shine. "I never felt sorry for myself," he told Express' The Edit. "When you feel like the world owes you something or you feel a sense of entitlement, you're lost. I've enjoyed every aspect of my journey." Spoken like a true Libra king.
When Pisces and Libra get together, they're bound to have a relationship filled with creativity, adventure, and plenty of heart-to-hearts. A Libra partner will always be there to bolster a Pisces' spirits, while a Pisces partner can prevent a Libra from overthinking every little thing. Based on their astro compatibility alone, Crawley and Moss are truly meant to be.

I envy that storage utilisation. Especially the discipline to have everything catalogued for easy access.
I must do that eventually. I have far more bits and pieces than I have compartmentalised storage for. A bunch of ziplock bags in larger boxes would be needed for all the less-usual bits and one-of objects. I already have my bulk capacitors like that, but I have no idea which box contains what so retrieval is a protracted affair that usually kills the mood and/or wastes the afternoon.

ATK CIO Says Metrics-Driven IT Paves the Way for Innovation
NBCUniversal's CIO Partners With Ad Sales to Expand Revenue Opportunities
How a CIO Navigated the Task of Creating Two Big Companies From One
NetApp Sets its Sights On Cloud Data Management
NHP Electrical Engineering Products on making the jump to public cloud
By Byron Connolly
Editor-in-Chief, CIO |
A substandard data centre that leaked water and had air conditioning failures forced NHP Electrical Engineering Products to move its entire IT infrastructure to the cloud.
Vic Wotherspoon, general manager, information technology at NHP discussed the organisation's journey to infrastructure-as-a-service over 18 months during a panel session at last month's CIO Summit in Sydney.
NHP's headquarters in Richmond, Victoria – which housed its data centre – suffered rain leaks in the winter and air conditioning failures in the summer.
"It was getting to the point where we felt we had to move our equipment elsewhere. We simultaneously had just completed a process of standardising our IT infrastructure and making sure the software was integrated and virtualised," Wotherspoon said.
Having that integration done first before moving all of its production systems to a Logicalis cloud under a three-year contract was crucial, he said.
"If we had deployed software-as-a-service for each of the individual point solutions that we had in our organisation and then subsequently tried to integrate them, we would have [had] all sorts of problems," he said.
"So having that integration done up front and moving everything over was the best approach for us."
The move has enabled NHP to cut costs by moving from a capex to an opex model for its IT infrastructure, and roll out disaster recovery as a service.
It's OK to miss dates
During the initial stages of the project, NHP gradually moved its non-critical systems across to the cloud.
"We did notice along the way that we had a problem with latency … with the exception of that and we missed a couple of dates, the project went really well," he said.
Missing implementation dates for this initiative was not an issue, says Wotherspoon, who advises organisation not to be a slave to deadlines if you don't have to be.
"I was quite happy to miss a couple of dates along the way because we were just not ready," he said.
Wotherspoon admitted that the organisation should have done a lot more rigorous testing on response times.
"My team were fairly confident that latency would not be an issue when in fact it was. That was one of the reason why the date moved. It was a bit disappointing but it wasn't the end of the world because in this particular project if it didn't work, we'd just move it back – but we actually didn't have to do that.
"Because we moved the virtual servers over a number of weekends, we only started to see the latency problem developing gradually. While it was a little disappointing, it wasn't that big a deal, but if we had put a little bit more time in upfront, that would have been the main lesson learned," he said.
Daniel Sultana, CIO of Logicalis – who was also on the panel – added that it would be naive to think that a project this size would be completed without any issues.
"The latency issue was resolved within a couple of weeks and it was multi-faceted from application through to the network. The mitigations were in place at that point in time to say 'can we fix this, yes or no? What's the impact on the business?'" he said.
Cultural implications of cloud
Moving core IT services to the cloud did create a degree of anxiety among NHP's technical staff, said Wotherspoon.
It's important to explain to technical people that it doesn't really matter where servers are located, their job function is the same, he said.
"The main reason we were able to overcome that [anxiety] was that our technical people and the technical people supplied by Logicalis on the project were operating as one.
"It's important to educate the technical staff and explain to them that you are not trying to remove them from the organisation, you're just trying to move your boxes elsewhere."
Logicalis' Sultana said there's a substantial culture shift that infrastructure managers need to get over.
"Infrastructure is not an asset, it's a liability. The data is the asset so if I take Vic's previous environment, that was a liability. Waiting for it to get flooded or catch on fire; we've got to get past this concept that 'I need to see flashing lights in front of me in my data centre or else the business can't function,'" he said.
"So, I think we have that leap in maturity we have to make if we are going to get to the next level."
Managing contractual requirements
Wotherspoon said NHP has a checklist for all contractual issues with IT suppliers but making sure terms and conditions in cloud contracts are met comes back to relationships.
"In some cases, depending on the supplier, going through the terms and conditions and the contractual issues can be quite cumbersome," he said.
"Because of the long-term relationship [with Logicalis], it was a bit more straightforward. We already had NDAs in place and a number of successful projects that we had completed with Logicalis.
"So for us it came down to what the individual deliverables were for the contract and the financial aspects of the payment points throughout."

Have you ever made an empty promise? Has anyone ever made an empty promise to you? Maybe you've assured someone that you would perform a task with the best of intentions, only ending up failing to complete it? There are a lot of issues surrounding anyone assuring another of things. Often times it can be difficult to maintain trust in others even if this person has never let you down. This is because we know that at the end of the day, he or she is still a human, and will ultimately disappoint. But how should we respond to God when He makes a promise to us?
"HE has said" is a powerful statement. It should cause us to pay close attention to any following statements. When God speaks, things happen. Remember, He isn't human. He spoke the universe into existence. I love the promise in the verse, "I will never leave you, nor forsake you." It reminds me every day that no matter what we face in life God is always with us and will never leave us. Many people will let you down in life; you may let other down, its only human. But one thing we know for sure is God will never leave you nor let you down.
Dear God, I thank you that You will never leave us nor forsake us. I pray we would remember this when we face difficulties in life and when we have happiness. Thank you, amen.

Media centre / Introducing Orchard Wharf
Nestled by the East India Docks, Galliard Homes' latest development, Orchard Wharf will comprise 338 one, two and three bedroom apartments, duplexes and penthouses. It will be located in E14, London's highest salary postcode, and will offer residents unprecedented luxury – including an on-site café and a private residents' lounge – promising to be a new landmark in London's historic Docklands.
Joining London's impressive skyline, Orchard Wharf's dual-aspect apartments will offer enviable views for its residents. The development will also feature spacious courtyard gardens, an outdoor pavilion, two recreational areas and landscaped gardens; adding to the already prestigious E14 postcode.
Every Connection Matters
Orchard Wharf is conveniently located just seven minutes' commute from the heart of Canary Wharf.
For residents wanting to venture further into the capital, it is a five minute journey to the East India DLR, two minutes from Canning Town and, in 2018, a four minute journey across the capital when the Crossrail Elizabeth line comes into service.
What's more, the district has 97 acres of highly specified urban architecture and public realm, and Canary Wharf also has one of the largest collections of public art in the United Kingdom.
So it's no wonder that the English National Ballet is consolidating their facilities and relocating its training and rehearsal studios just minutes from Orchard Wharf, in Canning Town and Trinity Buoy Wharf.
Each apartment will also offer an enviable dual-aspect view of The O2 and The Shard, inviting residents to sample the culture offered at these world-class venues.
For those wishing to indulge in retail therapy, Orchard Wharf is conveniently located near brand name shopping at Crossrail Place, which extends to five shopping malls that contain over 300 shops, bars, boutiques and restaurants.
Optimum Exclusivity
Offering luxury living at its finest, Orchard Wharf will have a private residents' lounge, and a daytime concierge will also be on offer for its residents.
If that wasn't enough, there will also be an on-site café, retail facility, outdoor pavilion, courtyard gardens, two recreational areas and landscaped roof terraces, which means that chances to relax and socialise will be plenty.
To add to this already desirable location, London's E14 postcode is already one of the capital's most sought after for commercial productivity and luxury living as a result of the regeneration plans which are happening across East London.
The Sky's the Limit
London has become the centre of international travel; Orchard Wharf is a stone's throw from London City Airport. Which last year, added six new destinations, including Alicante, Bergerac, Berlin and Bremen, to name just a few.
The airport is also now a vital hub and international gateway for business travel, ideal for young professional couples. There are also direct DLR connections from Canary Wharf to City Airport.
The Docklands is also the centre of a £1.7 billion investment to create London's next financial district, known as the 'Asian Business Port', will be the largest dockside in the UK – and will be on the doorstep of any potential investor.
In 2018, the Elizabeth Crossrail line will be operational, and Orchard Wharf will be conveniently situated by the capital's greatest transport link.
The £14.8 billion Elizabeth Crossrail line – Europe's largest infrastructure project – will link the counties of Essex, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire to London.
Key journey times:
East India DLR – 5 minutes
Canning Town – 2 minutes
Canary Wharf (Crossrail) – 4 minutes
What's more, Orchard Wharf is located minutes' from the University of East London, the University of Greenwich and the fourth-ranked university in the UK, University College London.
