Sister Ann Bernadette "Bernie" Barnes (1932-2020)
A generous, multi-talented person, Sister Ann Bernadette Barnes, SNDdeN, was a lifetime believer in the power of education.
Sister Ann Bernadette was known for her commitment to the Blessed Mother, and her insistence on the equality of women's voices in the Church and national affairs.
She also loved the color purple.
The older daughter of Nebraskan parents who moved to California to work for United Airlines in the early days of passenger air travel, Patricia Barnes grew up in San Carlos. She attended Our Lady of Mount Carmel School in Redwood City and Notre Dame High School in Belmont. After a year at San Jose State College, she entered the convent.
In her seventy years as a Sister of Notre Dame de Namur, Sister Ann Bernadette served for many years as a dedicated elementary and secondary teacher and administrator. In 2006, she brought her rich educational experience to Cristo Rey High School in Sacramento, when she helped establish the school. She enjoyed both teaching there and mentoring new teachers.
One of her favorite experiences was teaching English as a Second Language and coordinating a high-school-diploma program for students ranging from 18 to 70 at the Notre Dame Education Center in Lawrence, Massachusetts. One of her former students wrote to her, "My life has been changing for the better, thanks to your dedication and patience . . . . you will always be a role model in my life."
In her five years as a staff member of the Emergency Housing Consortium in San Jose, Sister Bernie advocated for homeless people needing mental health and employment services. She also served as the liturgy coordinator at the large multi-cultural Most Holy Trinity Parish in East San Jose; she provided Notre Dame hospitality at the House of Prayer in Carmel, and she contributed as a Board member at Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont.

She was fortunate to live close to her only sibling, Bonnie Barnes Fox and her husband, Jim, and their very caring family, joining them for weekly family dinners surrounded by grand-nieces and nephews, and enjoying the comedic skits they performed.
Sister Bernie died peacefully on October 16, 2020, at Mercy Retirement and Care Center in Oakland, after being a member of the Province Center community in Belmont for the past ten years. She will be lovingly remembered by her family, her Sisters of Notre Dame, and many former students, colleagues and friends.

In her senior year at Notre Dame High School, Belmont, Patricia Barnes was approached by one of her teachers who startled her by saying, "I hear you're going to enter." Becoming a nun was NOT in her plan, however, and after graduation, she went off to San Jose State University. During that next year, she continued to keep in touch with one of the Sisters. It was through her encouragement and Pat's own growing attraction to a life of prayer that eventually moved her to join the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur.
As Sister Ann Bernadette, she remembers making her first vows on a Saturday, and on the following Monday she was teaching a 5th grade class at St. Joseph Elementary School in Alameda! After five years in elementary schools she was assigned to teach at her high school alma mater, where one of her students was her own sister, Bonnie (now Bonnie Fox). In 1968, she became the Assistant Principal for Notre Dame High School in San Francisco and then served as Principal from 1970-1975, and later returned to the school as Dean of Curriculum.

Sister Bernie also worked with Father Miles O'Brien Riley as an associate director of communications with the Archdiocese of San Francisco and then, in 1983, she was asked to assume ever-expanding responsibilities at the newly established Emergency Housing Consortium in San Jose. There, she worked with people who were experiencing homelessness, and helped set up programs for those needing advocacy and assistance through mental health programs and employment services.
Returning to the classroom for seven years at the Notre Dame Education Center in Lawrence, Massachusetts, was one of Sister Bernie's favorite experiences – teaching English as a Second Language and coordinating a high school diploma program for students ranging in age from 18 to 70. "Adults are so eager to learn," she says with a chuckle, "and there are no discipline problems!" Ricardo Franco from Colombia was one of the many adults she taught. In 2007, Ricardo wrote Sister, "My life has been changing a lot for the better, thanks to your dedication and patience … encouraging me to give the best of myself. As a result of it, I continue my education, and I am working on my associate degree! You will always be a role model in my life."

When Sister Bernie returned to California, she volunteered to be one of four SNDdeN pioneers to help establish Cristo Rey High School in Sacramento. She brought her lifetime of educational experience and energy to this new school, where she enjoyed teaching students and mentoring new teachers.
Other ministry assignments have included directing the sacramental program and coordinating the liturgy program for the large, multi-cultural Most Holy Trinity Parish in East San Jose, CA, from 1987 to 1992. She also served for several years on the Board of Trustees for Notre Dame de Namur University, and assisted at the Notre Dame House of Prayer in Carmel.
Sister Bernie was a member of the Province Center community in Belmont for ten years before recently moving to Mercy Retirement and Care Center in Oakland.
A generous, multi-talented person, Sister Ann Bernadette has been committed most of her life to working on behalf of those struggling with poverty and who have found themselves on the fringes of society. "At this time of Jubilee," she said, "I am grateful for the wide range of educational experiences I have enjoyed, the students who have enriched my life, and the co-workers who believed in the work we were engaged in."

Biografia

Il principe ereditario Frederik è nato al Rigshospitalet, l'ospedale universitario di Copenaghen, il 26 maggio 1968, dall'allora principessa Margherita, figlia maggiore di Federico IX ed erede presunta al trono danese, e dal conte francese Henri de Laborde de Monpezat. Al momento della sua nascita, suo nonno materno era sul trono di Danimarca e il suo bisnonno matrilineare era sul trono di Svezia.

Fu battezzato il 24 giugno 1968, nella chiesa di Holmen, a Copenaghen.

Fu chiamato Federico per suo nonno materno, il re Federico IX, continuando la tradizione reale danese dell'erede apparente chiamato Federico o Cristiano. I suoi secondi nomi onorano il nonno paterno, André de Laborde de Monpezat; suo padre, il principe Henrik; e il suo bisnonno materno, Cristiano X. I padrini di Federico erano sua zia materna, la regina degli Elleni; suo zio paterno, il conte Etienne de Laborde de Monpezat; i suoi parenti estesi, il principe Georg di Danimarca e la granduchessa del Lussemburgo Giuseppina Carlotta; e gli amici dei suoi genitori, il barone Christian de Watteville-Berckheim e Birgitta Juel Hillingsø.

Divenne principe ereditario di Danimarca quando sua madre salì al trono come Margherita II il 14 gennaio 1972.

L'unico fratello del principe ereditario Federico, è il più giovane principe Gioacchino di Danimarca.

Istruzione e servizio militare
Il principe ha frequentato la scuola elementare alla Krebs' Skole dal 1974 al 1981, dal 1974 al 1976 come studente privato al Palazzo di Amalienborg e dalla classe terza alla Krebs' Skole. Nel periodo 1982-1983 ha frequentato l'École des Roches in Normandia, Francia. Nel 1986 si è diplomato alla Scuola Superiore Øregaard Gymnasium.

Ha studiato all'Università di Harvard nel 1992-1993 sotto il nome di Frederik Henriksen, frequentando i corsi di scienze politiche. In seguito gli fu assegnata una posizione per tre mesi nella missione ONU danese a New York nel 1994. Ha conseguito la laurea di Scienze Politiche all'Università di Aarhus nel febbraio 1995. Federico fu in seguito nominato Primo segretario all'Ambasciata Danese a Parigi dall'ottobre 1998 all'ottobre 1999.

Ha completato gli studi militari, principalmente come sommozzatore (danese: Frømand, "uomo rana") nelle forze speciali navali danesi.Nel periodo dal 2001 al 2002 ha terminato l'addestramento al Collegio Reale di Difesa Danese. È rimasto attivo nel campo della difesa, e nel periodo 2002-2003 è stato ufficiale al Comando di Difesa della Danimarca, e dal 2003 professore nell'Istituto di Strategia al Collegio Reale di Difesa Danese. Nell'aprile 2004 è stato nominato comandante della marina, colonnello luogotenente nell'esercito e colonnello luogotenente nelle forze aeree.

Matrimonio e discendenza
Il principe ereditario Frederik di Danimarca ha incontrato Mary Donaldson, consulente di marketing australiana, al pub "Slip Inn" durante i Giochi della XXVII Olimpiade il 16 settembre 2000 a Sydney. Hanno condotto una relazione a distanza tenendosi in contatto tramite telefono, e-mail e lettere, mentre il principe Frederik si recava spesso a farle visita in Australia. Mary e Frederik sono stati fotografati nel corso del 2003 in varie escursioni private in Danimarca.

Nella seduta del Consiglio di Stato dell'8 ottobre 2003 la regina Margherita II ha dato il suo consenso al matrimonio dell'erede al trono con Mary Donaldson. Il matrimonio si è tenuto il 14 maggio 2004 alla Cattedrale di Copenaghen, nella capitale danese.

Il 25 aprile 2005 la corte reale danese ha annunciato che la Principessa era incinta del primo figlio, e il 15 ottobre 2005 è nato il bambino: come tradizione della Casa Reale, in cui gli eredi al trono si chiamano Federico o Cristiano, il neonato è stato battezzato Christian Valdemar Henri John il 21 gennaio 2006.

Il 26 ottobre 2006 la corte reale ha annunciato che la principessa era di nuovo incinta del secondo figlio. Il 21 aprile 2007 è nata una bambina, la prima principessa danese dal 1946. È stata battezzata il 1º luglio 2007 con il nome di Isabella Henrietta Ingrid Margrethe.

Il 6 agosto 2010 la corte reale ha annunciato che la principessa era di nuovo incinta e attendeva due gemelli. L'8 gennaio, la principessa ereditaria ha dato alla luce un maschio (che Frederik scherzando ha chiamato Elvis, essendo nato lo stesso giorno del "Re del Rock and Roll") ed una femmina. I nomi sono stati ufficializzati al battesimo che si è tenuto alla Holmens Kirke a Copenaghen il 14 aprile. Essi sono Vincent Frederik Minik Alexander e Josephine Sophia Ivalo Mathilde.

Orchestral Manœuvres In The Dark – Crush | 1985 – 2
[continued from last post]
When the next song began I had a hard time believing I was hearing OMD. It started out with a stupid 4/4 drumbeat and fuzztone guitar like a song by The Cramps! Then when guitars went from fuzztone to feedback, it really sounded like The Cramps! The bass was fat and twangy. This actually sounds like it could be a track from "A Date With Elvis," one of The Cramps touchstone albums. At least until Andy McCluskey opens his mouth.
"88 Seconds In Greensboro" was a radical inclusion on an album aiming for the soft, gooey center of MOR pop. Instead, in what would normally be the first track on side two of an album, where the most commercial single usually went, OMD had written a song about the Greensboro Massacre. In 1979, in Greensboro, North Carolina, members of the Communist Worker's Party protesting the KKK's presence in the city were shot and killed by the KKK and members of the American Nazi Party. Five died and six were wounded and when Andy McCluskey saw a documentary on this on British Television [film exists of this event] he was moved to put his feelings about it into a song.
It's as politically germane, if not moreso, than any track on "Dazzle Ships" and it is sadly more relevant today than it was in 1985! Musically, it was recorded by the band live in a single take, so this was completely at odds with the way OMD were used to working. The feedback guitar is so out of McCluskey's comfort zone, that I'll take a stab and guess that it's producer Stephen Hague, who is credited with guitar as well as keyboards on the album. The Fairlight still got used here for the violins in spite of the roughness of the track. At the song's climax the basso backing vocals that lent this song a real touch of Ennio Morricone. Finally an actual OMD song on this one, even if it did splice a lot of The Cramps and EnnioMorrisone's DNA into the band's own.
As the strings of "88 Seconds In Greensboro" were fading out, samples of an orchestra tuning up were segued into the mix next. What would await our ears? Would you believe… OMD re-writing Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir??!!" There was no mistaking that infamous violin riff awing away with bloody intent! "Native Daughters Of The Golden West" was actually more histrionic than the Led Zeppelin song they were plundering! McCluskey's vocals here were further into the red than Robert Plant's were on "Kashmir." Malcolm Holmes effectively channeled JohnBonham's thunderdrums for this one.
When I first heard this I laughed at the cheek that this of all bands had shown by not only lifting a Led Zeppelin riff, but one of the band's most iconic, cinematic hooks. It was ludicrous on the face of it then and the passage of 32 years hasn't dimmed it one iota. But it's the kind of ludicrous that I can approve of. In spades. If one is going to cop a Zeppelin riff, why not the best?
The next song was the final single from the "Crush" album. "La Femme Accident" was the third song in a row that relied on string textures, though these were all from the Fairlight, I assume. Since there were no string contracting credits on the album. Even so, the delightful song was an even more delicate dip into the gentle waters that previously yielded gold with the excellent love ballad [not a phrase typed much at PPM, I know] "Talking Loud + Clear."
Apart from some rim hits, all this song has going for it are the samples of pizzicato strings, violin leads, and double bass. Given that they probably produced this on the Fairlight in Page R mode, I'll bet the rim hit was another sample so that they could meticulously concoct this wonderful song. Building a song like a circuit board doesn't always yield the best of results, but this time I could not raise any complaint. It was cheeky of McCluskey to drop the Joan Of Arc reference, but the lyric here was far more intriguing and nuanced than the trite material that opened the album. It was an inspired choice for a single, and was certainly unique enough to make an impression but it didn't even make the UK top 50.
Since "side two" had been thoroughly more interesting than the first half of the album, I suppose that predicated the jamming on another mind-number. They don't come much worse than "Hold Me." To call it 'MOR slush' is facile, yet appropriate. It makes Chris DeBurgh look pretty daring in comparison. The soporific sax solo here would be a dark mark on Martin Cooper's record. The Fender Rhodes electric piano patch used in the wrist-slitting middle eight is the worst sound design in all of OMD's career. It takes a sappy, undignified piece of pap and renders it almost lethal in its insipidity. It was also OMDs clear nadir at that point in time.
Surprisingly, the album ended on much the same note as "side one." "The Lights Are Going Out" was another dirgelike number on this album given a touch of Augustus Pablo with its sampled melodica hook. McCluskey at least sounded awake on this one, though still obviously in the throes of depression. The sampled vocal rhythm was said to have been inspired by Laurie Anderson's "O Superman" and I really like the subtle buildup of the sustained violin chord that occur twice in the song.

There really are no words I can come up with for Native Daughters Of The Golden West. It's as if Genesis, Yes and Led Zeppelin had invaded the studio, THIS is all down to "the Hague!" I decided to listen to the album again before commenting and it's really much worse for me than it was 32 years ago. Junk Culture may have been disappointing, but Crush is devastating to this fan. Hold You is searching for fans among the Spandau Ballet fan base. The "lazy" sax is VERY Steve Norman.
Ready to move on for more embarrassment…
Echorich – Though OMD certainly had Prog Roots, Naaaah. I beg to differ. There's no Genesis or Yes in "Native Daughters Of The Golden West." Just pure Zep!! And unlike you, I find it one of the best tracks on a very spotty album. Where we differ is in I find "Kashmir" to be a superb, cinematic effort from a band that was, back in the day, The Enemy. I'll take what I can get from OMD by this point.

A few years ago, my Mom had a great conversation with us I hope to never forget. She said, "The givers should be with the givers, and the takers should be with the takers. That way, the takers will learn how to give, and the givers will learn how to take, Laura." Amen, Mom! Thank you for always trying to guard my heart, no matter how old I am.
I must remember these words, surrender to, and pray for God's will in some "takers" lives, and greater wisdom in my own. I must let go and allow God to work without me always getting in His Way.
People can't regularly give until they are depleted, it does not benefit anyone, even those who, for whatever reason, may need to "take" for awhile. We can't maintain healthy minds, bodies and spirits in serving others if we don't trust God to help find balance and release. I know for me personally, if I don't find that peace, it's way too easy to see passed the needs of others, not truly valuing them, and in turn, fall into "taker mode" myself, even if subconsciously.
But when I decided to follow the model Christ gives in loving others, which is so NOT easy, I must regularly strive to be a better, healthier "giver" a little more everyday. And in the times I "take", whether willfully or unknowingly, I ask you forgive me and allow me to give again.

That waterdrop notch is clearly here to stay
The Oppo F9 has been announced, featuring the company's now distinctive waterdrop notch.
The new smartphone also offers a Helio P60 chipset, up to 6GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage.
The manufacturer is also planning to reveal the Oppo F9 Pro next week.
The Oppo F9 has been announced by the Chinese brand, and it looks like the company's "waterdrop" notch is here to stay. The unique notch, which bears more of a resemblance to the Essential Phone than the iPhone X, first appeared on the recently launched Oppo R17.
Aside from the distinctive cutout, the Oppo F9 offers some upper mid-range specs. That means a Mediatek Helio P60 chipset, 4GB or 6GB of RAM, 64GB of storage (there's no mention of microSD support), and a 6.3-inch full HD+ LCD screen (19.5:9 screen ratio).
The Oppo F9 also offers a 3,500mAh battery, which isn't really spectacular for a phone with such a large screen. The firm is touting its VOOC Flash Charge tech as well, claiming a five-minute charge will give you two hours of talk-time.
The Oppo F9 in starry purple.
Other noteworthy specs include a dual rear camera pairing (16MP f/1.8 and 2MP f/2.4), a massive 25MP f/2.0 selfie camera, a headphone jack, a rear fingerprint scanner, and what seems to be microUSB rather than USB Type-C connectivity. The phone doesn't have NFC support either, so mobile payment fans should probably stick to camera-based solutions.
Oppo Find X review: Finding space
When we've talked about full-screen phones in 2018, that's meant around an 80 percent screen-to-body ratio with a small bottom bezel and a notch housing the front camera. The front-facing camera is an integral part …
Still, the phone does come in three gradient colors, including a rather fetching shade of purple (dubbed Starry Purple). Otherwise, you can also get the phone in Sunrise Red or Twilight Blue.
The Oppo F9 is available to purchase in Vietnam and the Philippines, with a recommended price of 7,690,000 dong (~$332) in the former market.
The phone's launch also comes ahead of the Oppo F9 Pro reveal, scheduled for August 21. It's unclear how the Pro model will differ from the standard Oppo F9, but we're expecting more storage at the very least.

Q: Ubuntu with Kodi -- how do I suspend based on audio output? Ok, I am running Ubuntu 15.04 with Kodi 15.2 as an HTPC.  I have always had problems with suspend and hibernate due to the fact that it appears that the two systems' power management cause some conflicts.  I have had Ubuntu put my system to sleep while watching movies on Kodi, so I disabled the power management.  I have had Kodi put my system to sleep while watching Netflix (either with Advanced Launcher or Chrome Launcher), so I disabled that (currently my HTPC runs 24/7).  I am trying to come up with some sort of script that not only measures inactivity, but audio output as well.  I am a total noob when it comes to scripting, but this is what I came up with so far:
    LOG=/var/log/sleepcounter.log
    sound=0 > /var/log/sleepcounter.log

    while true: do
        sleep 1

        # check if sound is sent to speakers, add 1 if not
        if pactl list | grep -v RUNNING > /dev/null; then
            echo sound=$((sound += 1)) > /var/log/sleepcounter.log;
        fi
    done

This essentially counts seconds that audio is not playing.  The problem then is it does not reset the counter to "0" when audio does play.  I attempted to switch it around, and came up with a slightly different script that does NOT work:
    LOG=/var/log/sleepcounter.log
    sound=0 > /var/log/sleepcounter.log
    read -d $'\x04' sound < "$LOG"

    while true; do
            sleep 1

            # check if sound is sent to speakers, add 1 if not
            if pactl list | grep  RUNNING > /dev/null; then
                    echo sound=0 > /var/log/sleepcounter.log
            else echo sound=$((sound += 1)) > /var/log/sleepcounter.log;

            fi
    done

This exact script does not write anything to the sleepcounter.log file, when I check it it's blank.  I can't figure out how to make it default to sound=0 and maintain 0 while sound is playing, start counting when sound stops, followed by starting over from 0 when sound starts again...
I have this paired up with another script:
    LOG=/var/log/sleepcounter.log
    read -d $'\x04' sound < $LOG

    while true; do
            sleep 30
            # check if there is any system activity
            if [[ `xprintidle` > 600000 && "$sound" -ge 600 ]]; then
                    (sudo pm-suspend-hybrid);
            fi
    done

This one does work.  If I manually set sleepcounter.log to sound=600 (or more) it puts the system to sleep when it has been inactive for 10 minutes.  While this works, I am thinking there also might be a way to combine the two scripts into one, just to make it a bit simpler.
I know I am having a problem with referencing the variables, and this is my first time trying to write a script.  If anyone could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it.

A: With a little bit of testing here I saw Kodi close its client to Pulseaudio after a couple of minutes of idling. That makes this problem quite simple. In your shutdown script all you need to test for (other than time) is that there's no Kodi or Chrome clients. That's as simple as:
DISPLAY=:0 pactl list clients | grep -E 'kodi|chrome'

Edit: I honestly hadn't read past the title before writing this answer. Setting the DISPLAY seems to be the critical element, at least here, to get pactl looking at the right Pulseaudio session.
If you're scripting this into something remember that grep returns 0 on a match. And you can use the -q argument instead of redirecting to /dev/null.
However if you have navigation sounds turned off too, the user might just be in a menu. You might want to do another sort of check, perhaps hooking into input or checking the average screen colour (set the screensaver to black screen, if screen is black, and there's no sound, suspend).

A: I will post this here for anyone else looking for a simple solution.  My biggest concern is many times we fall asleep watching movies, and wake up to the TV still being 'on'.  I am new to Linux, and our previous system was Windows XP (without Kodi), so having the screen disabled after 10 minutes was no problem (although it would occasionally glitch, and shut off in the middle of a Netflix movie).  I have had two different Dell systems with Windows die in the past by going to sleep and never waking up, so I never used the sleep/suspend functions built in to Windows.  I think Kodi is an awesome interface, much better than trying to control the Windows desktop with a wireless mini keyboard/trackpad.
I finally figured this out, and of course I was making it WAY more complicated than it really is.  What I ended up doing was rewriting the two different scripts into a single one:
    while true; do
            sleep 1     # wait for 1 second to continue loop

            # check for sound output, if yes clear variable, if no then count +1
            if pactl list | grep RUNNING > /dev/null; then
                unset sound; echo $sound; else
                echo sound=$((sound++))
            fi

            # check idle time and no-sound time, if yes then suspend and exit loop
            if [[ `xprintidle` > 600000000 && "$sound" -ge 600 ]]; then
                (sudo pm-suspend); exit 0
            fi
    done

After saving the script, I then had to perform some other commands to make it work properly:
    chmod x+ /path/to/filename.sh #to make it executable
    chmod 555 /path/to/filename.sh #had a problem with permissions and ownership

followed by modifying the /etc/sudoers file to be able to call pm-suspend without being root or asking for a password by adding this to the end of the file:
    username  ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-hibernate

So far, regardless of what is producing sound (I tested with Netflix via Chrome Launcher through Kodi, YouTube in Chrome straight off the desktop, and playing a movie directly from Kodi) it suspends approximately 10 minutes after the sound stops, as long as I am not doing anything else.  I say "approximately" because I believe xprintidle throws off some random numbers here and there, but so far it ALWAYS sleeps.  I had to add the exit command, otherwise it generated a sleep/wake loop that was hard to get out of.  I then added the script to be run at startup by adding a cron job with @reboot /path/to/filename.sh.  This works great, but I am not sure yet if cron restarts on resume (I don't believe it does, haven't been able to test that yet), or if I have to call the script from somewhere else when the system wakes up.
I assume I need to ask in another thread, but my next part of this project is to make sure this script starts again upon resume, and to make the system recognize my Rii Mini i28 wireless keyboard (with USB dongle) as a wake-up device.

Public infrastructures are one of the important assets of a country. It maintains the pulse of a country''s political and economic development, closely links to the national life, and it has massive and profound impact on people living in this country. However, the set up or management of public facilities often involves the use of a high degree of organization of technology and expertise, and the outbreak of any hidden risk may cause unpredictable damage to the country. Especially, as a disaster strikes and causes damage, the impact on the rights of the people is huge.
A case study is presented in this paper. April 25,2010, No.3 Freeway of Taiwan National Freeway had the worst State Road mountain-collapse accident . The above incident is taken as an example to discuss the responsibilities, level of effects and liability on bureaucratic organization. In Taiwan, the State Compensation Law was established in 1980, and announced by the President into effect since July 1,1981, with a total of 17 pieces in full-text. Department of the State Compensation Law in accordance with the provisions of Article 24 of the Constitution established, its purpose is to highlight the government's determination to protect people''s freedom and rights. However, if the operation of state compensation mechanism itself is good, then the class itself that is responsible for the results.
In view of this, some general observations are found in this study, which are responsible for hierarchical accountability and the political accountability and the interaction of state liability, and government functions had not been apparent, easily lead to administrative efficiency is low. Furthermore, if the result of climate change increase environmental impact on public natural property and bring more challenges, the "natural and man-made public property" will be even closer-linked, and the law on state compensation for the type of defect claims on public facilities can make it difficult to judge on.
On the occasion, therefore, the concrete policy recommendations are provided as a practical reference for decision-making operations.

1943 Dodge WC63 6x6
Subject to a two-year restoration
Registration No: KXS 901
Chassis No: 82012303
Believed to have served in the European theatre in WW2
Acquired in Belgium in 2017 as a non- runner barn find
Dodge WC63 'Dotty' has had a two-year restoration with photographs covering every stage. It was a labour of love by its current owner who happens to be a former Army Captain in the Royal Logistics Corps. Acquired in Belgium in 2017 as a non- runner, he was told it had been in the French fire service until the 1980s after being given to the French government as part of the USA Lend/Lease scheme. As such it is believed to have served in the European theatre in WW2. After its disposal it was owned by a company fitting telegraph poles until acquired by a Belgian farmer in whose barn it lay for twenty years.
There has been immense attention to detail including all woodwork being of American White Oak to match the original used. The markings are British and represent the Airborne RASC. This unit is the wartime equivalent of the unit the owner served with in the 1990s which had been involved in Operation Market Garden in 1944. Nicknamed 'Dotty', it has attended the 75th anniversaries of D-Day and Arnhem and been featured in fundraising for the Pilgrim Bandits, the charity of Ben Parkinson MBE.


Today I will explain fifth freedom flights for Uzbekistan Airways(HY).
Uzbekistan Airways(HY) is the flag carrier airline of Uzbekistan.
You can go to Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan or any other Central Asian countries from TAS.
Their Frequent Flyer Programme, called "UzAirPlus" is too unique to earn / redeem the air miles.
You cannot buy only fifth freedom flight route.
Interestingly they have got RIX – JFK route.
I'd love to visit Latvia, as well as other Baltic countries(Estonia and Lithuania).
If you want to earn the Skyteam air miles, it will be better to take Korean Air(KE) to go to TAS from Japan.

Code of Civil Procedure--O.41, r. 27--Scope of.
HEADNOTE:
Respondent No. 5, who was the Managing Director of a limited company, resigned his	post and in	his capacity as a shareholder filed an application in the District Court	for compulsory winding up of the company, which was ordered.
The Official Liquidator made an application	before	the District Judge that as the four Directors, respondent 1 to 4, had illegally, withheld or retained certain amounts, they became	liable to refund them.	Contesting this	application respondents 1 to 4 requested that they might be allowed to cross examine	respondent no.	5, which application	was rejected. On appeal the High Court set aside the order of the District Judge and remanded the case to the City Civil Court,	Bombay to record additional evidence under Order 41 Rule 27, Code of Civil Procedure.
On appeal it was contended in this Court that the High Court was wrong in directing additional evidence to	be allowed under this Order.
Dismissing the appeal,
HELD :	The High Court rightly ordered that additional evidence be	recorded in this case. There was	no justification whatsoever for the District Court to reject the evidence which the respondent had intended to lead or to disallow the production of documents. [895 H; 896 A] Under O. 41 r. 27 it is only where the Court had improperly refused	to admit evidence or where the appellate court required additional evidence to be recorded in order to enable	it to pronounce judgment that it could make such an order.	Under	cl. (b) of this rule the Court	may require additional evidence either to enable it to pronounce judgment or when it may require additional evidence to be recorded for any other substantial cause, [894 A-B] Arjan Singh v.

CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION : Civil Appeal No. 1283 of 1967.
Appeal from the Judgment & Decree dated the 22nd March/26th April/26th June, 1963 of the Bombay High Court in Appeal No.
38 of 1959.
V. S. Desai and S. K. Gambhir for the appellant.
S. T.	Desai,	Ramesh D. Divan and R. P. Kapur, for	the Respondent Nos. 1-4.
R. M.	Mehta,	S. K. Dholakia and R. C. Bhatia, for	the Respondent No. 5.
The Judgment of the Court was delivered by JAGANMOHAN REDDY, -J-This appeal is by certificate against the judgment of the	High Court of	Bombay	varying	the judgment and decree passed against respondents 1 to 4 by the District Judge of Jagpur on an application under s. 235 of the Indian Companies Act 7 of 1913-hereinafter	called	the Act'.
891 It appears that in or about April 1949 the Industrial & Agricultural Engineering Company (C.P.) Ltd.-hereinafter referred to as the Company' was formed under the Act	with its registered office situated at Nagpur. From the date of the Company's	incorporation till August 27, 1952	one Shantilal Nemchand Shah respondent 5 was the Managing Director, while respondents 1 to 4 were the Directors of the Company. On August 27, 1952, respondent 5	resigned as Managing Director and	in his	place	two Directors C.V.
Krisbnamurthi respondent 2 and M. Ganpatram respondent 3 were appointed Directors. These two new Directors were	the employees and Directors of a concern known as Industrial & Agricultural Engineering Company (Bombay) Ltd.-hereinafter called the Bombay Company'. Respondent 4 T. K. Shamu is the cousin of respondent 1 Raghawa Desikachar. There was also a partnership firm consisting of respondent 1 and some others.
The office of this partnership was located in the office of the Bombay Company. After August 27, 1952, respondent 5 having resigned the office of Managing Director was only a shareholder and it transpired that as the Company was	not making	profits, the Directors called	a meeting of	the shareholders of the Company on July 29, 1954, in order to obtain a Special Resolution for voluntary liquidation of the Company. Even before this meeting took place, respondent 5 as share-holder of the Company filed an application on	July 26, 1954 in the District Court at	Nagpur	against	the Company, respondents 1 to 4 and other parties praying for an order for compulsory	winding	up of	the Company.	The District Judge passed an order on July 13, 1955 directing compulsory winding up of the Company and appointed one K. S.
Misra as the Official Liquidator of the said Company.	The Official Liquidator Misra made a report to the District Court on April' 28, 1956 asking the Court to pass an order for the public examination of respondents	1 to 4-the Directors of the Company. The District Judge	passed	the order prayed for under s. 196 of the Act on July 7, 1956.
Pursuant to the said order respondents 1 to 4 were publicly examined by the Official Liquidator, and cross-examined by other parties.	The Official Liquidator also asked for	the examination of respondent 5 who however was directed by	the District Judge to be present in the Court. But since	the District Judge	was not in a position to know why and	for what purpose respondent 5 was to be examined he directed the official Liquidator or Mr. Mani to make an application	for that purpose.	On June 29, 1957 the	Official Liquidator stated	that he did not want to examine respondent 5. Again on July 10, 1957 the Official Liquidator requested the Court to examine respondent 5 and the learned Judge passed an order on the same day directing examination of respondent 5 at 3 P.M. on that day- 892 O July 11, 1957, the Official Liquidator made an application that as the four Directors respondents 1 to 4 had illegally withheld or retained certain amounts specified therein	they became liable to refund or repay the amounts with costs	and with such interest as the Court deems fit. The items which were said to- be withheld were as follows Commission in respect of sales	of General Motors pumping sets worth about Rs. 5 lakhs at 4	per	cent.	to Bombay Rs.	20,000-0-0 (2) Three percent commission	on General Motors supplied,	transaction worth Rs. 12 lakhs.	Rs.	36,000-0-0 (3) Commission	due on other articles supp- lied to	Model Mills and Power	House etc.
Rs.	30,000-0-0 (4) For	stock,	furniture, motor car	etc.
purchased by the Bombay Company at a very	low price.	The amount mentioned	being	the difference between the real price and	the purchase price Rs.	30,000-0-0 (5) Improperly remitted to a sister concern I. A.	R. C.	(Hyderabad) Ltd.'	Rs.
2,686-3-0 (6) Commission	on the sale of' a boiler manufactured by	Stein-Muller	to M.	P.
Electricity Board for Itarsi Power House through the instrumentality of	the Nagpur Company.	Rs. 1,30,000-0-0 TOTAL	Rs. 2,48,686-3-0 Thereafter the	Official Liquidator applied	for certain amendments to the application and for impleading respondents 1 to 4-Directors of	the Company in liquidation.	The District Judge by his order dated December 7, 1967 allowed the application and accordingly the application dated	July 11, 1956 was amended.	Respondents 1 to 4 by	their reply dated December	27, 1957, showed cause against the	said application of the Official Liquidator and requested	that they may be allowed to lead evidence in connection with	the charges	mentioned in	the application of the Official Liquidator. They also requested that they be	allowed to cross-examine respondent 5 Managing Director of the	said Company. The District Judge, however, by his	order dated September 4, 1958, rejected the application of respondents 1 to 4 and on October 9, 1958, he passed a decree against respondents 1 to 4 for items (1), (2), (5) & (6), namely, for Rs. 20,000/-; Rs. 36,0001-; Rs.	2,686/3/- and	Rs.
1,30,000/- with interest at 4 percent. p. a. The District Judge further directed the Official Liquidator to furnish a statement in respect of the amounts due on certain charges which was accordingly furnished by him on October 23, 1958.
On October 25, 1958, the District Judge ordered	respondents 1 to 4 to pay further amounts of Rs. 36,649-32 p.
893 and Rs. 21,700-75p as per the report of the Official Liquidator. This order formed part of the decree dated October 9, 1958.
Respondents 1 to 4 preferred an appeal to the High Court of Bombay which by an interlocutory judgment dated January	25, 1963 set aside the order made by the District Judge refusing respondents 1	to 4	permission to	lead evidence	and permission to cross-exemine respondent 5. Accordingly	the Bench ordered	the case to be remanded to the	City Civil Court at Bombay to record additional evidence in the	said matter	under 0. 41 r. 27 Code of Civil Procedure and remit to it that evidence.
On an application dated February 11, 1963, the Bench of	the High Court by its order dated February 12, 1963, refused to allow respondents 1 to 4 to produce certain documents which were not produced by them at an earlier stage.	Pursuant to the aforesaid orders dated January 25, 1963 and February 12, 1963 respondents 1 to 4 led the evidence of 11 witnesses including themselves and cross-examined respondent 5.	They also filed certain documents.	No- evidence was led by	the Official Liquidator or respondent 5. After the record of the evidence was transmitted to the High Court the Bench by	its judgment dated	March	22, 1963 passed a decree against respondents 1, 2 and 3 to pay to the Official Liquidator of the Company a sum of Rs 11,973/12/- in respect	of certain stock-in-trade, furniture, motorcycle and motor car sold by the said Company and a further sum of Rs. 2,686/8/3 being part of the debt remitted by the said Company with interest on the aforesaid amounts at 6 per cent from July 25,	1954 until	payment. The	remaining claim of the Official Liquidator was	set aside and the decree of the District Court was reversed to that extent..
The first question that has been urged before us is whether the High Court of Bombay was right in directing additional evidence to be led by respondents 1 to 4 under 0. 41 r. 27 Code of Civil	Procedure. This Court has,	in several decisions, laid down the circumstances in which an Appellate Court will be justified in directing additional evidence to be recorded for the disposal of the appeal. Order 41 r. 27 Code of Civil Procedure under	which	additional evidence could be called for states thus :
"(1) The	parties to an appeal shall not be entitled	to produce additional evidence, whether oral or documentary, in the Appellate Court. But if- (a) the	Court from whose decree the appeal is preferred has refused to admit evidence which ought to have beep. admitted,. or (b) the	Appellate Court requires	any document	to be produced or any witness to be examined	to enable	it to	pronounce judgment,or for any other substantial cause, the Appellate Court may allow such evidence or document	to be produced,. or witness to be examined.
(2) Wherever additional evidence is allow to produced	by an Appellate Court, the Court shall record the reason for its admission." 894 It is apparent that by the terms of the above rule, it is only where the Court	has improperly refused to admit evidence or where the Appellate Court	requires additional evidence to be recorded in order to enable it to pronounce judgment that	it can make such an order. Under 0. 41 r.
27(1) (b) the Court may require additional evidence either to enable it	to pronounce judgment	or it	may require additional evidence to be recorded for any other substantial cause,	in Arjan Singh V. Kartar Singh and others(1) it	was held that the legitimate occasion for admitting additional evidence in appeal is when on examining the evidence as it stands some inherent lacuna or defeat becomes apparent,	not where a discovery is made outside the Court, of fresh evidence, and an application is made to import it. The true test is whether the appellate court is able to pronounce judgment on the materials before it, without	taking into consideration the additional evidence sought to be adduced.
See also State of U. P. v. Manbodhan Lal Srivastava(2)	and Municipal Corporation for Greater Bombay v. Lala Pancham of Bombay and others(3). The	learned	Advocate for	the appellant, while admitting that the Appellate Court	has power to record additional evidence submits that the	High Court did not go through the evidence, nor did it apply	its mind as to whether the case was such that it could	not pronounce judgment on the materials before it without taking into consideration the additional evidence sought to be adduced. This argument, however, ignores the provisions of
0. 41 r. 27(1)(a) under which an Appellate Court can direct additional evidence to be recorded if the Trial Court	had refused to allow or declined to record evidence which	the party against whom the decree had been passed was prepared to produce before it. What we must,	therefore, see is whether	the District	Judge had improperly rejected	the request	to record the evidence of the respondents	and consequently whether the High Court	was justified	in directing additional evidence to be recorded. On a perusal of the record we have no doubt that the District Judge	had improperly rejected the prayer of the respondents that they should	be allowed to lead evidence in connection with	the charges	mentioned in the application filed by the Official Liquidator and that they should be allowed to cross-examine respondent 5.
The Roznama dated September 4, 1958 shows that on that	day the four respondents, namely respondents 1 to 4	represented by Mr. Amin, and the Official Liquidator in person, appeared before	the District Judge.	The order made in those proceedings is as follows:
"Mr. Amin for the respondents wanted that the petitioner should be put into the witness	box so as to enable him to cross-examine	the petitioner on	the point of alleged misfeasance. From the record it appears that the petitioner was under cross-examination for a	great	length	of time and it	is on	the material elicited in his evidence, as also on the record otherwise available here, that	the charge of misfeasance is made.	Mr. Amin's contention (1) [1951] S.C.R. 258. (2) [1958] S.C.R. 533.
(3) [1965] 1 S.C.R. 542 at 548.
895 is that when the petitioner was cross-examined by Mr. Mani, Mr. Mani represented the	four different companies and not these respondents.
This may	be so, but I do not think now I should allow another cross-examination of	the petitioner when from the record	it appears that a	detailed and	searching cross- examination was	made of the	petitioner Besides, there was no question of leading	any evidence,	since	the case was	fixed	for argument	from 21-1-58. The only	part which the parties had to play was to point out	the documents on which each relied for proving or disproving the alleged misfeasance.
I do not think it is possible for me to put the hands	of the clock behind by reverting to the stage of leading evidence, when	this matter has been fixed for argument since 21-1- 1958. Hence the request is rejected." The above proceedings clearly show that no opportunity	was given to respondents 1 to 4 because proceedings of January 12, 1958 show that as soon as written statement was filed on December 30, 1957 the District Judge fixed the case	for argument. The proceedings of July 7, 1958 further show that Mr. Amin had	brought	to the notice of the Official Liquidator that he should be supplied with materials on which the Official Liquidator would rely for	the alleged malfeasance on	the part of his clients, but no materials were furnished by the Official Liquidator. Accordingly on the second hearing after the aforesaid application, a petition for submitting fresh evidence and	for cross- examining respondent 5 was made but it was rejected.	The show cause notice was given by the Official Liquidator on the basis of the public examination of respondents 1 to 4.
it is	only in answer to the show	cause	notice	that respondents 1	to 4 could lead	evidence and	crossexamine respondent 5. It may be mentioned that	misfeasance action against	the Directors is a serious charge. It is a charge of misconduct or misappropriation or breach of trust.	For this reason the application	should	contain	a detailed narration of the specific acts of commission and omission on the part of each Director quantifying the loss to	the Company	arising out of such acts or emissions.	The burden of proving misfeasance or nonfeasance rests on the Official Liquidator. The Official Liquidator it may be mentioned, merely	relied	upon the evidence recorded	in public examination of the Directors and on a few documents tendered in evidence. At the stage of public examination there	was no charge of misfeasance against the Directors and they were not in	a position to know what would be the grounds	that would be alleged against them for recovering any amounts, for the loss said to have been caused to the	Company by reason	of such misfeasance. The application made by	the Official Liquidator did not give sufficient particulars which,	in our	view, it should have.	Once a	show cause notice	was given to	respondents 1	to 4 the Official Liquidator did not lead any evidence nor rely upon any other documents, nor	did respondent 5 who was instrumental in initiating the misfeasance case against respondents 1 to 4 lead any evidence. In our view, there was no justification whatsoever for	the District Court to reject the evidence which 896 the respondents had intended to lead or to disallow	the production of documents other than those already produced, and for that reason the High Court rightly ordered	that additional evidence be recorded in this case.
Now coming to the merits of the appeal.	The first challenge is to	the disallowance of Rs. 1,30,000/-.	This amount represented the commission on the sale to M. P.	Electricity Board of a Stein-Muller Boiler for	Itarsi	Power House through	the instrumentality of the Nagpur Company.	The reason why the High Court disallowed this amount is because the Official Liquidator failed to establish that there	was any connection with the Nagpur Company and the sale of	this Boiler	to the Itarsi Power House of the M. P.	Electricity Board.	On the admitted facts of the case	itself	this conclusion is amply justified.	It appears that there was a partnership firm known as Industrial and	Agricultural Engineering Company hereinafter called the	I.D.D.	This partnership firm was the sole selling agent for Stein-Muller machinery and	products. On	October	31,1953, the	M.P.
Electricity Board agreed to purchase from the partnership a Stein Muller Boiler for a sum of about pound, 86,000 in respect of which there was an agreement between the I. D. D.
and the Electricity Board. The Electricity Board agreed to pay a	sum of Rs. 1,50,000 to the I. D. D. for certain, services. Out of this sum the Official Liquidator claimcd Rs. 1,30,000/- on the ground that it amounted to 10 percent.
of the commission which was due to the Nagpur Company	from the I.D.D. and which was wrongly withhold by the latter Com- pany, with the acquiescence of respondent I who was one of the partners of the I. D. D. The case of the Official Liquidator was that Shantilal Shah then Managing Director of the Company bad contacted the officers of	the M. P.
Electricity Board and it was through his efforts that	the ultimate contract was entered upon. Accordingly a part of the commission which the I. D. D. was claiming on behalf of the Nagpur Company may be allowed to the Company.
The defence of respondents 1 to 4 is that the Nagpur Company had nothing to do with the I. D. D. and that the order	was obtained by the I. D. D. partnership itself. In our view, it is not the case of the Official Liquidator that there was an agreement under which a part of	the commission	was payable by the I. D. D. to the Nagpur Company and much	less is there any justification for our holding that	respondents 1 to 4, even if there was any agreement, which on	the evidence we say there was not, had intended to with-hold the amount.	The High Court has gone into	the evidence	very carefully and we do not see any reason for disagreeing with its conclusion.
With respect to item (1), namely, commission in respect of sales of General Motors pumping sets worth about Rs. 5 lakhs at 4 per cent viz. Rs. 20,000/-, the	foundation of	the claim is the payment made by one Premnath Transport Company at Delhi to the Bombay Company as infringement	commission, because	they had sold certain machinery of	the General Motors Ltd. in Bhopal area, the agency of which was held by the Company, and consequently the Company agreed to give an infringement commission of 4 per cent to the Bombay Company.
897 This amount of Rs. 20,000/- is claimed out of that amount.
It is contended that Bhopal was within the area allotted to the Nagpur Company and, therefore, it was entitled to	the commission. This was denied by Directors. The Official Liquidator failed to establish that the Nagpur Company	was entitled to the whole or part of the infringement commission by reason of the fact that it was a sole selling agent of the General Motors parts in that particular area or it	had an exclusive sub-agency from the Bombay Company. The	High Court considered that	the evidence in the case was	not sufficient to establish either of these claims.	We have not been persuaded to hold otherwise.
In so far as item (2) for Rs. 36,000/- is concerned,	here again the Nagpur Company was being paid 15 per cent and 20 per cent commission in respect of machinery and spare parts respectively by the Bombay Company	which Company	was retaining 5 per cent of the commission in respect of	the orders	placed	by the Nagpur Company.	According to	the Official Liquidator the Bombay Company was only entitled to retain 2 per cent and consequently the Nagpur Company would be entailed to a further 3 per cent which had been wrongly withheld. Here again the High Court considered that there was not sufficient evidence to sustain the claim. Shantilal Shah who gave evidence did not spell out the actual terms of the agreement	between the Nagpur Company and	the Bombay Company	by reason of which the Bombay Company was entitled to retain only 2 per cent and not 5 percent. It was held, and there is nothing to establish to the contrary. Inasmuch as the evidence of respondents 1 to 4 as Directors of	the Company was confirmed by the first minutes, the	explanation given by the respondents must be accepted. Reliance	was placed on sub-item (2) of Item 2 of the minutes of the Board of Directors of the sister companies at which Shantilal Shah was also present. It was agreed and accepted by all	the associates that a commission of 2 per cent on all	such imports	on the c. i. f. or f. o. b. invoice value, as	the case may be, should be paid to the Bombay Office. But in so far as	sub-item V of Item III was	concerned, it	was unanimously agreed that the associated offices should pay a commission of	5 percent on their imports covered by,	the licences owned by the Bombay office.
The third item is for Rs. 30,000/- in connection with	the supplies to Model Mills and the Power House in Nagpur	with the products of the Mysore Electric Company Ltd. There	was some suggestion that the Bombay Company should	reduce	its commission from 5 per cent to 2 per cent but as the	High Court pointed	Out that it had absolutely no connection whatsoever with the inter-Company transaction in respect of goods of which agency was held by the Bombay Company.	The evidence of Shantilal Shah in this regard was considered to be highly unsatisfactory. Apart from that	Exhibit	T-a letter	dated February	2, 1950 clearly showed that	the arrangement between the Nagpur Company and	the Bombay Company	was to give commission at a particular	rate.	The High Court extracted the relevant portion of	the letter which merits repetition, It says :
"I am glad to inform you that we have	been able to get some additional concession by	way of extra discounts from the Mysore 11-M192SupCI/75 898 Lamp Works and as intimated to you personally during your recent visit, we shall give you a portion of this extra commission, thus in	all 25 and 2 1/2 per cent, discount on the list price." It is no one's case that the commission according to	this letter was not paid, and as the Nagpur Company has received this commission it cannot claim any additional commission.
Ins ofar as item (4) is concerned, it has reference to	four amounts, namely Rs. 7,689/12/- Rs. 2,184/-; Rs. 9,827	and Rs. 2,100/-. Nothing has been shown as to why these claims were not properly allowed.	The appellant, however, challenges the item for Rs. 9,827/- as not being the correct amount.	In fact the book value is Rs. 39,309/4/9. The High Court took the difference between the book value and	the stock purchased by the Bombay Company after August 23, 1952, since	the date of	resignation of Shantilal Shah.
Accordingly it	took the opening stock as per	the balance sheet dated March, 31, 1953 at Rs. 53,574-4-0, The closing stock as per audit report dated March, 13, 1953,reduced to the extent of 7/9 was Rs. 24,092-0-0 leaving an amount of Rs 29,482-4-9. This amount was transferred to	the Bombay office and the difference between the above amounts amounted to Rs. 9,827 /-. Shantilal Shah was questioned about	this but he did not know how it was made up of. No	explanation was also given on behalf of the Official Liquidator as to how the item was made up of. For this reason this item	was not allowed.	Similarly no exception can be taken to	the amount	of Rs. 2,100/- which was allowed because within	few months	of its purchase the scooter was sold to the Delhi Branch	for only Rs. 6,001. These two	items,	namely	Rs.
9,827/-	and Rs. 2,100/- which are	allowable to	the Liquidator come to Rs. 11,927 the other two items for	Rs.
7,689/12/- and	Rs. 2,184/- which relate to the purchases actually made by the Bombay Company in pursuance of their offer and in pursuance of the majority resolution of April 25, 1953 and the difference between the book value and	the purchase value of the car by the Bombay Company were	also allowed. Apart from	this, item (5) for a	sum of	Rs.
2,686/3/- in connection with the wrongful remission to	the Hyderabad Company was also allowed. There seems to be no dispute on this account because the whole of the amount as claimed has been allowed.
In the	result	we find no reason to	interfere with	the Judgment of the Bombay High Court under appeal.	Accordingly the appeal is dismissed with costs.
P.B.R.
Appeal dismissed.

Add "spark international incident" to the long list of Apple Maps' woes.
Taiwan has angrily demand that Apple Inc. alter its new map application, which identifies the island nation as a province of China.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Taipei instructed its office in San Francisco to demand that Apple make an immediate correction to the software.
"We have made representations to Apple," Kelly Hsieh, head of the ministry's Department of North American Affairs, told reporters in Taipei.
"The designation of the mapping system has apparently deviated from the truth and has degraded our country's sovereignty," The China Post reported Hsieh as saying. "Matters like this must not be compromised.
"We have expressed our intense dissatisfaction to the company and demanded that it amend the error immediately," Hsieh added.
Taiwan is deeply sensitive about the way in which it is described in international circles and prefers to be known as the Republic of China. That name has been officially recognised by 23 countries, although Beijing insists that the island is part of greater China.
Beijing has in the past threatened to use force to reunite the island with the mainland, although ties have improved in recent years with the election of a government in Taipei headed by Ma Ying-jeou that is actively promoting trade and tourism opportunities.
First elected in 2008, Ma was re-elected as recently as January 2012.
The error is not the first time that Taiwan has protested to Apple over its mapping service application. Earlier this year, the Ministry of National Defence filed a protest after the company exposed the location of a secret radar station in northern Hsinchu County.

Women in the time of a Refugee Crisis
Posted on November 1, 2018 byadmin
Share via FacebookTweet via TwitterDiA Newsletter
By Myriam Fayad
When I enter her tent, Najwa is bent over her old sewing machine, her feet dangle on the pedal, giving rhythm to a silent melody. In the air, the fragrance of cardamom embraces the perfume of coffee and a general sense of calm comes over the room. It's an oasis of peace in the chaos of the refugee camp. Najwa is one of the one and a half million people who fled Syria and found refuge in Lebanon. She grew up in the countryside of Hama, a city in west-central Syria. Coming from a rural background, she was married off at a very young age, dropped out of school and soon became a mother. She used to work more than 10 hours a day, as most rural women in her situation do, providing unpaid domestic and agricultural labour, with little or no access to the money she made. In Lebanon, she is now the 'breadwinner' of her family, contributing her homebased seamstress job to the household income.
Syrian Refugee Camp | Erin Wilson
Women's labor participation in pre-war Syria
In 2010, Syria ranked 124 on the Gender Gap index together with Oman, Egypt, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and Yemen at the bottom of the MENA region's ranking. As a matter of fact, the Syrian constitution ensures the principle of equal opportunities for all its citizens and guarantees women to remove the restrictions that prevent them to fully and effectively participate in the political, social, cultural, and economic life of the country. However, the Labour Law severely discriminates against women in their access to economic opportunities. In fact, livelihoods opportunities for women are limited both by cultural norms and discriminative legal restriction. For instance, article 120 of the 2010 Labour Law states that the Minister should determine which activities women shall be allowed to perform at night and which others should be considered as harmful and immoral and should hence be prohibited. Moreover, no law specifically prohibits discrimination based on gender in hiring which gives women no tool to denounce discriminative selections.
Furthermore, the Syrian Personal Status Law, promulgated in 1953 and only slightly amended during the last decades, requires married women to have their husband's permission to work and it determines women's inheritance rights in accordance with Sharia, granting to a woman only half of her brother's share of the estate. If women enjoy the right to own property, manage businesses independently and deal with their own income and inheritance, the patriarchal system puts enough pressure on them so as they hand over these tasks to their brothers or husbands, who feel culturally responsible for the financial maintenance of the women in their family.
Syrian refugee camp, Karkosik Erbil | Mustafa Khayat
Women in refugee context: changing gender roles
On the contrary, in refugee camps, many women found themselves as the head of the household, either because they are widow either because their husbands stayed in Syria, went missing, joined armed groups or left to another country in the hope of obtaining family reunification. Moreover, even when their husband is present, women are more likely to be the one working as men feel more restricted in their movement for fear of being stopped at checkpoints and arrested.
Being the new breadwinner of the family, Syrian refugee women need to find livelihoods opportunities that are 'suitable' for females, often running small-scale income-generating activities, mainly home-based, such as sewing, hairdressing, knitting and cooking, to avoid excessive interaction in the public sphere, that could undermine their 'honor' and therefore the honor of the family. In fact, while men have lost their role as sole wage earner of the family, they often struggle to accept the shift in gender roles and responsibilities, refusing to shoulder household tasks that continue to lay down on women or young girls. Moreover, men often feel emasculated which can result in an increase of domestic violence and family conflict.
Despite these difficulties, a window of new opportunities has opened for Syrian women, who are finding a new role in their families and in their communities. Najwa is just one of the many women I have met, who have found in the hardship of war and displacement a chance to assume more responsibilities outside the house. It's a new light, getting in through the crack made by the war.

These pages are your portal to 1000's of fishing waters. Adventure races typically incorporate enjoyable challenges, too: Groups might have to complete puzzles, experience a zip-line, climb a rock wall or tree, or stroll throughout a slackline These challenges are usually kept a shock, so you won't know what they're until you are out on the course. Matched with a Mariner® stand-up rod, this combo allows you to be versed in varied fishing functions with durability and reliability.
Enigma Fishing was born out of the will to take the next step, jump the subsequent hurdle and take fishing to another — higher — level, while advancing the cause of the angler and creating opportunities for individuals who wish to use their ardour to a find a place within the fishing business. So, Grylls narrating a present about badass journey racers tackling brutal distances over land, sea, rivers, and mountains could make for compelling television.
Yow will discover detailed trail information and fishing trail maps on , however before you go, simply remember to examine with your state's Division of Pure Sources to find out if a fishing license is required. The Recreational Boating and Fishing Basis is one other good useful resource, providing a searchable database of what fish can be found in lakes and waterways across the nation, fishing tips, a fishopedia, and many other resources.
For example, in the 1993 Raid Gauloises, the original journey race, particular person groups selected whether to parachute to the starting line or to hike there from about 35 miles away. Fishing rewards and mechanics have now been massively modified, with new rewards including enchanted books , saddles , enchanted fishing rods , title tags , and such. Adventure Races (AR) are available numerous codecs and difficulties combined with the listed disciplines.
It's the primary fēnix sequence watch to supply full-colour TOPO Lite Australia & New Zealand mapping for at-a-look navigation and site reference – so you can beat yesterday, and be certain of getting back. But it happened thrice, so the lesson right here is to be careful for goats while fishing in Lagras. Journey racing is closer to elite army training expeditions than to solo endurance tests.

Comparison Of The Glen Ridge Rape And Glen Ridge Rape
The other victim is a young girl whose name was not given, and she was raped at a high school party after getting highly intoxicated. Many witnesses say that they saw her passed out, unable to walk, and even called her a mess during the time. There were various pictures and videos of her posted that night where the statements of the witnesses were confirmed (Strasser,2013). Both victims were taken advantage of and thankfully their rapists were both convicted. The first case was a little more difficult because there's always going to be an issue with disability and consent.
Martha's Break Up Analysis
On document 5 Martha's friend seemed to have written a note to somebody that said, "Ok, so she did kinda hook up with Brian, but they only kissed ONCE. DON'T TELL ANYONE. Martha is really worried that Robert will find out." However, Robert eventually found out which can relate to document 7 which shows a discipline referral that says, "Robert was engaged in an altercation with another student in the hall outside my office. He was shouting aggressively and did not respond to a verbal warning to stop."
Ship In A Bottle Analysis
Trapped In "Ship in a Bottle" a short story from the book Olive Kitteridge, there is many meanings that can be interpreted from the title of the chapter. The meaning of "ship in a Bottle" can portrayed as a literal and a figurative way throughout the chapter. Jims ship being trapped, as it was too big to get out of the basement served as a literal portrayal. Julie feeling trapped by her mother as a figurative portrayal.
The Odyssey And Speak: A Character Analysis
The Odyssey and Speak both have many common archetypes. The characters suffer, and they go through rebirth and they also go through a sense of loss. In Speak Melinda was raped by one of her classmates and was keeping it a secret her entire freshman year, in the Odyssey, Odysseus was trapped on Calypso's island for years and was forced to lay with Calypso. The characters' rebirth in The Odyssey and Speak are both very similar; Melinda finally realizes it is okay to tell someone if something like that happens to her, and Odysseus finally makes it home and is able to feel clean again, and to be with his love Penelope. In both readings, the main characters go through a sense of loss, Odysseus is physically lost at sea, and is trying to make it back home, and Melinda has lost sense of who she is and doesn't feel herself anymore.
Women Empowerment In The Scarlet Letter Andy
Melinda struggles to stand up to Andy and her classmates because of the fear that no one believe her. Hester faces the conflict of standing up to Roger and stopping him from tormenting Dimmesdale. "Melinda has kept the attack a secret because she is ashamed. She feels she brought it on herself, even though she tried to fight the boy off" (Constantakis). This quote describes how Melinda fights to gain power during her whole freshman year as well as when she was raped by Andy.

The letters serve as a diary to her as the days pass on she writes mostly to Lucas the boy she was to marry before she was taken. The story continues as the people of the small town also face trails, as she learns to talk many become anxious for the truth placing her in even more danger.
The Reflection Of Laurie Halse Anderson's 'Speak'
She writes many novels on difficult subjects in society ("Laurie Halse Anderson-Mad Woman in the Forest"). In Speak, the main character, Melinda Sordino, was raped at the end of the summer before her freshman year. The novel follows her hardships as an outcast in the jungle-like environment of high school and her struggles to speak up for herself when she needs to the most (Anderson 3-198).

Rhetorical Analysis Of Mary Fisher Whisper Of Aids
Mary Fisher, an HIV-positive white woman, stood before her audience to inform them on the present danger of the rapidly spreading HIV epidemic. She delivered her powerful speech titled, "A Whisper of AIDS", during the 1992 Republican National Convention Address. Fisher told her audience, "My call to the nation is a plea for awareness," upfrontly stating her purpose is not to immediately stop the fatal epidemic, but to stop the ignorance surrounding it. With her strong utilization of the rhetorical appeals; ethos, pathos, and logos, Fisher was able to powerfully deliver her speech and its purpose, as well as bring a majority of her audience to tears while doing so. HIV originally being seen as a "GRID" (Gay Related Immune Deficiency), and also seen as a disease only targeting a specific group of people, upfront gives Fisher a large amount of credibility (History of HIV and AIDS).
Rhetorical Analysis Of Mary Fisher's Speech 'A Whisper Of Aids'
American political activist, author, and artist, Mary fisher, in her speech "A Whisper of AIDs," presents the growing national epidemic known as HIV and AIDs, from a personal and national point of urgency, condemning the silence surrounding these viruses and calling all peoples to action in the fight against HIV and AIDs. Fisher first comes to her audience through emotion, establishing ethos from the moment she began speaking, connecting herself to the HIV community by stating that she is HIV positive, and like many of those listening to her that tonight she did not choose to be apart of the millions of infected. She presents evidence and logic against the idea that HIV and AIDs present bias against any one group of people by quoting the

Introduction
Use Of Bravery In Anderson's Speak
Nelson Mandela has an exceptional point of view on courage, as he once said "Courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it." Like Mr. Mandela, Melinda Sordino in Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson also learned this throughout her time as a ninth grader. The character Melinda has many encounters that test her courage throughout the book. The first act of bravery that stood out to me was when Melinda put her emotion's into art.

Astin, A. W., & Sax, L. J. (1998). How undergraduates are affected by service participation. Journal of College Student Development, 39, 251-263. Longitudinal data were collected from 22,236 college undergraduates attending a national sample of baccalaureate-granting colleges and universities. The impact of service learning and community service was assessed on 11 different dependent measures: academic outcomes (three measures), values (two measures), self-efficacy, leadership (three measures), career plans, and plans to participate in further service after college.

Also they reported increased learning and grades, and significant effects on personal values.

Semitism vs antisemitism: see below
November 18, 2018 November 30, 2018 pearodox
i've been called an antisemite and payed the price. because i've simply defended the palestinians against an apartheid state with a genocidal inclination. no rational being on the planet could possible defend Israel's now 60 year violent subjection of Palestine. Israel, in fact, has no historical legitimacy to it's land; than does the US after it's slaughter of at least 80 million native americans. some figures put the slaughter at far higher numbers: 150 million. but of course to raise property ownership in such terms is anathema. but just because it's anathema, doen't make it any the less historical factual.
so, to recall the cliche about speaking truth to power, let's have at it, not only in the name of truth, but in the name of academic freedom and the general civic right to speak truth, period.
as my first witness in this debate against the absurd alliance between US so called democracy and so called democracy of the Israel, i cite the following:
Weisman even posits that recent racial policies by the Netanyahu government have made Israel a "model" for the alt-right on how to construct an "ethno-state".
the model which Trump is attempting, down to the T, to implement, including his building of the wall between the US and Mexico, and then sending US military troops there, incarcerating children by the 4 thousands, separating families and children, and literally mouthing Israeli militaristic strategies: 'throwing stones will be interpreted as using lethal weapons"…
whatever the propaganda, there is no doubt about the colonial histories of either the US or Israel. both have been aligned since the 1960s in order to defend themselves against the undoubted accusations of genocide. i've provided evidence of this claim below. but one look no further than Israel's internment of the citizens of Gaza; or, no further than the Trump and Republican Party treatments of Latin American asylum seekers and latin american immigrants in general, not least of which, is the Trump admin's family separation policy.
so, just to finally receive a bit of vindication of my so called antisemetic and extremist, historically well researched, beliefs, i can site the following:
"On the right," writes Weisman, "anti-Semitism and militant Zionism can co-exist quite comfortably." Spencer calls his movement a "sort of white Zionism". In a New York Times podcast, Weisman even posits that recent racial policies by the Netanyahu government have made Israel a "model" for the alt-right on how to construct an "ethno-state".
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/nov/14/american-jewish-community-divisions-trump-pittsburgh
Weisman knows well about the use of the internet as a way of spreading anti-semitism. His book (which opens with the scene beneath the Lincoln Memorial) is intriguingly entitled (((Semitism))) Being Jewish in America in the Age of Trump.
There's a story behind those brackets.
Weisman, deputy Washington editor of the New York Times, thought little of retweeting a column by conservative historian and commentator Robert Kagan in the Washington Post. But he had "an intuition" when a strange response from someone called 'CyberTrump' arrived: "Hello (((Weisman)))".
"Care to explain?" Weisman replied.
"It's dog whistle, fool," the anonymous person answered.
so, in that historical spirit, in defense of their prescient take, there could be no greater lawyer than
harvard's gabriella blum,
who helped to create the law international law in support of extrajudicial assassinations. and who seems, now, to be somewhat apologetic about it.
[The Israeli government] didn't want to call their conflict with the Palestinians a "war" since that would recognize the inevitability of a Palestinian state and trigger a number of requirements under the laws of war. But they also didn't want call it an "occupation," since then they would be subject to the laws that govern occupiers. Among other things, occupation law would mandate them to use policing powers instead of offensive military tactics like targeted killing. So to avoid doing either, they simply created a new and unprecedented legal category that is, in effect, a new law for colonial dominance.

Secret stuff down in the lab...filming some secret videos this weekend too...down at Certified Turbulence Trainer Brian Kalakay's gym in Michigan. Good times.
Q: With your expierence in the fitness game, what would you say the best route to take is for someone looking to start a career in the fitness field?
Find the best trainer you can and have them mentor you. Work for free if you must. It's the best education.
Soon you will say, "I'm possible at decline spiderman pushups." - Sorry, that makes no sense, haha, just trying to encourage you. Replacements - Spiderman (normal) or decline (normal). Keep pushing on and you will get them one day.
Q: Hey Craig. What's your thoughts on Intermittent Fasting?
Q: How many books do you read a month? And in what genres? Do you balance marketing and business with fitness/strength/health?
For fitness info, I stick to websites rather than books. I start about 4 books a month but I don't finish all of them. They are mostly history and then some business and marketing books. Most biz and marketing books should be 6 page articles, not entire books.
Take action now. When you fail to act on your most important priority first thing in your day then you end up paying the price. Other things get in the way. Your mental energy wanes. You set it aside and procrastinate. And you fail to make progress. That's why you feel like you are struggling. So that's why you must take action now.
