Daniel T. Rodgers, "As a City on a Hill: The Story of America's Most Famous Lay Sermon" (Princeton UP, 2020) 41:38
Since the presidency of Ronald Reagan, John Winthrop's famous phrase, "We shall be as a city upon a hill," has become political creed and rallying cry for American exceptionalism. But for over three centuries the text of Winthrop's "Model of Christian Charity" was largely forgotten in the American textual canon. In a charming book of textual histor…

Andrew Jewett, "Science Under Fire: Challenges to Scientific Authority in Modern America" (Harvard UP, 2020) 41:21
Americans today are often skeptical of scientific authority. Many conservatives dismiss climate change and Darwinism as liberal fictions, arguing that "tenured radicals" have coopted the sciences and other disciplines.

Katherine recalls being young and friendless. While growing up in the 40' and 50's, she remembers when her mother packed up and left, her father remarried, and she was left to focus on her studies – she was an exceptional mathematician.

Anne Goldman, "Stargazing in the Atomic Age" (U Georgia Press, 2021) 59:20
During World War II, with apocalypse imminent, a group of well-known Jewish artists and scientists sidestepped despair by challenging themselves to solve some of the most difficult questions posed by our age.

L. Hilton and A. Patt, "Understanding and Teaching the Holocaust" (U Wisconsin Press, 2020) 1:11:41
I wish I had seen Laura Hilton and Avinoam Patt's Understanding and Teaching the Holocaust (University of Wisconsin Press, 2020) six months ago.

Gábor Scheiring, "The Retreat of Liberal Democracy: Authoritarian Capitalism and the Accumulative State in Hungary" (Palgrave, 2020) 54:03
As Donald Trump's presidency draws to a close, his opponents give thanks that he never developed a strategy or learned to use his powers and agencies efficiently. If he had, like Hungary's four-term prime minister Viktor Orbán, Trump could have created an "illiberal democracy" - a country with democratic trappings but with a charismatic, nationalis…

David Chaffetz, "Three Asian Divas: Women, Art and Culture In Shiraz, Delhi and Yangzhou" (Abbreviated Press, 2019) 41:13
The "diva" is a common trope when we talk about culture. We normally think of the diva as a Western construction: the opera singer, the Broadway actress, the movie star. A woman of outstanding talent, whose personality and ability are both larger-than-life. But the truth is throughout history, many cultures have featured spaces for strong female ar…

Is color a phenomenon of science or a thing of art? Over the years, color has dazzled, enhanced, and clarified the world we see, embraced through the experimental palettes of painting, the advent of the color photograph, Technicolor pictures, color printing, on and on, a vivid and vibrant celebrated continuum.

You've worked so…soooo hard for months. Years. You've worn down three keyboards. You've lived through more 120 hour weeks than you can remember. You've talked to countless investors, held neverending brainstorm sessions lasting until dawn with your co-founders, used far too much of friends' and family members' money (or crashed on too many of their couches), and literally felt ill when contemplating decisions that you knew — you just knew — represented turning points in your life.
You've done all your homework: read Inc. and Wired and Forbes and Entrepreneur and The Startup religiously for years, article upon article about how to market your app, everything you could get your hands on; talked for long, worthwhile, enlightening hours with mentors; interviewed the people who would actually use what you want to give them.
The day of your launch is nigh. You have collected a few thousand, or a few hundred thousand, potential customers or users for your product/widget/service, and built hype, and have a feel for how well your new "thing" will be received.
Or, to be blunt, you think you know. You might have data to base this on. It could be your gut instinct. Hopefully, it's a bit of both.
But no matter what, there is always the chance…the distinct possibility…that what you are putting out into the world won't be as accepted as well as you think, or hope.
— In the time between your startup's conception and launch, the market could have shifted.
— Your product's audience is narrower than your research project.
— Your pricing is all wrong.
— Disagreement (or too much compromise) has led to a "mushy" product and/or mission statement that no longer resonates well with your users.
— You place too much faith in brand recognition.
— The problem you thought you were solving is not the problem that actually needed solving.
Whatever the reason, you don't see the registrations, the conversions, the virality or traction. Your churn is extreme. You're losing users nearly as fast as you find them.
Not all start-ups come with the same obstacles stacked against them.
Business 101: Every industry, and vertical and product in each industry, follow the basic rules of economics while offering challenges specific to itself. Your social app needs to offer enough supply (scale) to cover customer demand just like Joey's NY Style Pizza has to be able to toss 400 pizzas on a Superbowl Sunday.
Based on a study by Shikhar Ghosh, a Harvard Business School lecturer, 75% of venture-backed start-ups fail to get investors a positive ROI. A third of those liquidate and cost the investors what they put in.
Out of general new businesses, the stats are rosier: 50% tend to survive 5 years, while about 25% make it to the 10-year mark.
What you choose to do is going to offer a host of problems to be dealt with that other entrepreneurs have already encountered many times over. But no matter what, there WILL be something that rears its ugly head that you probably won't find in a book.
And just because you can't find previous examples of whatever you're facing doesn't mean it hasn't happened before. In all likelihood, it has…But the entrepreneurs who had to manage it never ended up with a successful business. The road to a billion-dollar exit is paved with the skeletons of those who gave up the quest after a failure or two.
You come away from your initial launch, bruised and bloodied.
Notice, I wrote "initial". Because you are NOT DONE. You are going to launch again.
Your weak point may be a person or persons that are simply not doing a great job or not working and playing well with the rest of the team. Or maybe you need a new advisor (or two or three). Dump what you need to gain altitude, and bring on more experienced or talented team members.
Sometimes the answer is to take things to another level. If you're struggling for eyeballs, or you're not seeing organic traffic or buzz, you might just need to get a little crazy. You might be a more conservative B-type personality who always believed your product will speak for itself. Now, biting the bullet and devising a strategy to really call attention to your business (or yourself) could be the thing that saves you. Don't discount the value of giving your startup more personality.
No matter what, you need to do detective work. You should have built in some way to see what your users are doing, and at the very least do some serious SQL queries and data analysis. If you haven't been collecting customer surveys, start immediately before they dwindle even more. Make sure you cover all the bases, from UX/UI, to customer service and delivery.
Related to #1: You might not have an issue with team members. They might all be superstars with high EQ. But maybe you just have them working on the wrong thing. Do a deep evaluation of everyone's talents and you almost always find out that a significant portion of your team can do a lot more than you knew. You may even need to realign YOURSELF. Maybe you really shouldn't be the CTO. You could be a middling CTO but make a superb CMO or CPO. Look at every possibility.
It's one of those words that you hear too much, but it's still an extremely valid option. You could be wrong in your assumptions about what your users need. You may have been too set in your ways, too zealous in your drive to force something to work that you were always certain was the very best thing for your customer. Or, the team you've assembled has core strengths that are better suited to something different. You might have a marketing startup, but be better at making content than selling it. If you do the P-word, you could save your business.
6. What is happening with your competitors?
Is there something going on with the broader market that is affecting you? Or is your competition accessing better sources of traffic or much better at SEO/ASO than your team? You might be able to narrow down many of your problems to the quality of your traffic or leads.
Ultimately, you need to view a launch failure as just another hurdle you have the opportunity to leap.
You can bounce back from almost any hit that has its root cause in the business itself. It's about your resources, the market, and the users, which means a lot of it comes down to a math problem. Figure out your variables, work to get the right values to equal the result you need. It can be done, but it won't be done if you give up.
Never, ever let your first failure also be your last.

There be spice in them thar Indies
In the spice race of the late 15th and early 16th centuries, the Portuguese were miles ahead of everyone else. Their ships sailed south from Lisbon and plied the waters of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, making the perilous trip around the storm-lashed Cape of Good Hope. Others decided that the world might not be flat after all and headed west across the Atlantic. Having discovered that the West Indies weren't quite the Indies they'd been looking for, the great maritime powers sought new routes to the fabled riches of the East which were believed to be not far beyond the west coast of the newly-discovered Americas. As they were to find out, one ocean remained to be sailed. The biggest of them all.
While the Portuguese were the first beneficiaries of the new ocean trade with southern and eastern Asia, the Spanish were far from idle and, by 1519, had laid their greedy mitts on a sizeable chunk of the Caribbean as well as the Central American mainland. It would remain more economical and profitable to avoid the hazards of overland shipping across Mexico when that became an option, and the inhospitable swamps of Panama were a death trap, as Vasco Nuñez de Balboa, first European to see the ocean from the east in 1513, had found out, so the sea was the obvious way to go.
Nobody had yet envisaged or dared the north-west passage (it would almost a hundred years before someone would try) so the obvious route to circumnavigate the American continent and access the unknown ocean was from the south. How far south, nobody knew for sure. Someone had to go and find out. Incidentally, Balboa claimed all lands touching the "south sea," as he tritely named it, for the Spanish crown, so Japan and Russia can quit fighting over the Kuril and Sakhalin Islands and let Spain have them...
To get the job done and be first past the post, the Spanish did what every ambitious team would have done: they recruited the opposition's talent. On 1519-06-20 Fernando de Magalhães, a disgruntled Portuguese captain commissioned by the King of Spain after being shunned by his own monarch, hoisted the Spanish colours and sailed off into the history books. The mission: to discover the western route to the real Indies. The equipment: 270 men (who had no idea what the mission was) on five ships. Three of the ships survived the savage south Atlantic and, after failing to brave the wild weather of Cape Horn, found their way between the southern tip of mainland south America and the northern coast of Tierra del Fuego, through the strait that now bears the explorer's name.
On 1520-11-28, after 38 days of hard sailing through the strait, they made it into "a beautiful, peaceful ocean." I suppose anything would have looked tranquil after Cape Horn. El Oceano Pacifico, the Pacific Ocean, became a name on the maps of European navigators. It may be a misnomer but the sailors of the time believed in euphemisms like that and probably kept it as a charm. And this is what they had found:
A lot of ocean. No, seriously, a LOT.
The Pacific Ocean is by far the largest of the world's oceans. At 155 million km² (61 million mi²) it covers 28% of the planet's surface, more than all landmasses combined. Clearly defined to the east by the American coast, to the north-west by the Asian mainland and in the south-west by Australia and an imaginary line drawn south from Tasmania to Antarctica, its west-central edge is fuzzy and more a matter of definition for classification's sake that an actual boundary. For this purpose the strait of Malacca and the island chain that includes Java and Sumatra are taken as its westernmost point. The ocean stretches across over 120 degrees of latitude, its northern boundary being the Bering Strait and its southern reaches ending at latitude 60°S. This southern boundary with the Southern Ocean is man-made and purely administrative, and was not established until 2000. It subtracts about 10 million km² from the Pacific, otherwise its southern end would stretch under the Ross Ice Shelf.
From west to east and at its widest at 5°N the Pacific stretches 19,800 km (12,300 miles) across the globe--that's halfway around the world. Over 30,000 islands are scattered across it, almost all in the western third and very few elsewhere. The total coastline of the land bordering it is approximately 135,000 km (84,000 miles). At its deepest, in the Marianas Trench, solid ground can be found only by heading straight down for 10,924 m (35,798') while its average depth is about 4.270 m (14,000'). The Pacific Ocean alone contains a third of all liquid water on Planet Earth.
Pacific islands are grouped by approximate location and ethnological rather than geographic criteria. The three major archipelaga are the Indonesian one in the far west, made up of about 17,000 islands, the Philippine archipelago with 7000, and the Japanese with 3900 islands. Other well-known island groups are the Aleutian Islands in the north and the Galapagos in the east. Thousands of small islands and atolls make up Micronesia, north of the equator, and Melanesia, south of the equator, in the west while Polynesia, spreading through the central and southern Pacific, accounts for most of the remainder. The latter two include the larger island-states of the region, such as Samoa, Tonga and Fiji.
Burnt around the edges
When I was a wee bairn... wait, let's make that about 250 million years ago by the best estimates and speculations of geologists. Anyway, back then there was a single landmass called Pangaea. It follows therefore that there was one contiguous ocean, predictably (if you're a scientist with a Greek fixation) named Panthalassa. The Pacific is the remnant of Panthalassa, as the Atlantic and Indian oceans opened to create Australia and the Americas as distinct landmasses.
The Pacific is almost surrounded by the World Cordillera System, from the Antarctic Peninsula right up the Aleutians and back down through the Kamchatka, into Japan and Indonesia. This continuous zone of earthquakes and volcanic activity is termed the Ring of Fire and collectively the most volcanic zone on earth, as recent eruptions in places as far apart as Ecuador, Japan and the United States will attest to. Quakes are equally common, major ones in recent memory having occurred in Nicaragua, Kobe, Alaska and not few other places.
Under its surface it's no less exciting. Almost all of the Pacific, with the exception of the parts bordering Central America and northern South America, sits on a single tectonic plate which bears its name (and the weight of a hell of a lot of aitch two oh). The most prominent feature on the Pacific's ocean floor is the East Pacific Rise, which is part of the world-wide Mid-Ocean Ridge system and merges into the San Andreas Fault system. In the west, there's striking contrast between the mountain ranges of the Philippines and New Zealand that rise from the ocean floor and right next to them, just off the continental shelf, the deepest trenches in the world. Another interesting feature is the Hawaiian Island chain which is tracking eastwards, volcanic island after volcanic island rising from a moving hot spot beneath the ocean floor and sinking back into it. Chances are it will one day arrive in mainland America and you'll be getting there by bus.
"A beautiful, peaceful ocean"
Not likely, with so much water sloshing about in one enormous basin and nothing in the manner of wind breaks. The only peace you'll consistently find in the Pacific is in the doldrums, and people tend to object to running into those. Like every large body of water, the Pacific has its fair share of storms and disagreeable weather.
From the perpetual gales of the roaring forties to the fog that cloaks the northern coast half the year, this vast expanse of ocean holds the key to much of the climate on earth. Typically talk is made of the El Niño phenomenon but that's only one piece in the jigsaw. I'm not a meteorologist or climatologist but will try to play both on E2.
The most significant pieces of the puzzle are the ocean currents, particularly three: the clockwise Kuroshio or Japan current which, like the Atlantic's Gulf Stream, carries warm waters from the Asian coast to North America, turns south as the California current and heads back as the north equatorial current. The counter-clockwise South Pacific current crosses from New Zealand to Chile and there merges with the cold waters of the circumpolar current before splitting into the three branches of the south equatorial current, one part turning towards Australia, the other two crossing back further north. Finally, there's the counter-clockwise Alaskan current which returns part of the Kuroshio's waters up the Alaskan and down the Siberian coasts, returning to Japan as a cold current before merging again with the warm waters from the equator.
All these currents are wind-driven, meaning that they're the result of surface winds and follow their direction. Since high-pressure anticyclones are clockwise in the north hemisphere, the current follows that general direction. Conditions vary between seasons and the rest of this belongs in a separate node.
The climate across much of the Pacific was long thought to be that of an oceanic desert, with little in terms of precipitation and little life in nutrient-poor waters. More recent studies conducted by scientists from Hawaii have cast doubts on this. Indeed, there's a lot that's unknown about the millions of square miles of uninhabited, uncharted ocean. One can easily say what sort of climate and weather the coastal areas have but that of the middle of the empty ocean is not very well known and, for all we know, here may yet be monsters. Five climatic zones can be distinguished though:
Westerlies: Variable and seasonal westerly winds in the mid-latitudes of both hemispheres
Trades: The steady equatorial trade winds from the east with a narrow range of temperatures between 21°C and 27°C
Monsoon: Seasonal flow of air from the Australasian landmasses out to sea or the reverse, this is the far west Pacific.
Doldrums: Humid and cloudy with calm or light winds in the open ocean, found off Central America and in the west near the equator.
Typhoon regions: Frequent cyclones in the western and eastern parts, as described below.
Tropical cyclonic storms are more frequent in the Pacific than in the Atlantic and occur in three main groupings and seasons: the east Pacific produces storms off the coast of Mexico and Central America that don't often make landfall but can reach as far north as California. Occasionally an Atlantic storm will cross over from the Gulf of Mexico and be catalogued as a Pacific one too. The hurricane season here lasts from June to October. South-east Asia is often visited by typhoons between May and December, the area from the Philippines to Japan being most frequently hit. December to April is the season in Queensland and the Northern Territory of Australia. Typhoons and hurricanes are the same thing and the name difference is purely a matter of region and language.
Crossing the date line
From the Maori in the south to the Ainu and Aleutian people in the north, the western crescent of the Pacific is of enormous significance to hundreds of cultures and key to their economies since prehistoric times, and to those of modern states. Ferdie wasn't the first to sail it; Polynesian and Micronesian navigators crossed improbable distances in their catamarans, settling most habitable island groups and reaching as far north as Hawaii. Their dying art has been revived and it's been proven that skilled navigators can find their way with none of the modern instruments that Europeans depend upon. Thor Heyerdahl sailed the traditionally built Kon-Tiki across the south Pacific from east to west in 1947, demonstrating that even transpacific travel was technically feasible in such a craft and may have occurred before modern times.
In 1520-21 it took Magellan's ships four months to cross it. He did eventually reach the Philippines (only to leave his bones there), which would later become a dominion of Spain, but the route he had found did not compare to that around Africa and could not be considered a viable east-west trade route. Apart from some relatively minor commerce between China and Mexico through the port of Acapulco and Spanish treasure shipments from the Philippines via South America, large-scale transpacific trade would not catch on until the United States opened relations with China and Japan in the late 19th century. Trade within the western Pacific is as brisk today as it has ever been.
Some of the major ports of the Pacific Ocean, historically and today, are Shanghai, Hong Kong, Yokohama, San Francisco, Valparaiso, Sydney, Vancouver, Vladivostok and Guayaquil. Vast amounts of goods and commodities are exchanged between these ports, from Chilean copper, Ecuadorean oil and Chinese plastics to Japanese automobiles and timber from the rainforests of British Columbia.
So, what was there before "we" found it?
Contrary to popular belief and with relativistic fallacy in mind, there were actually people there long before our farang European boy Fernando showed up. And, while the peoples of the Americas, with the exception of its far northern reaches, were bound more to the land than to the sea, the peoples and nations of the western Pacific have, over the millennia, created great and diverse cultures, many of which I've already mentioned, most of them maritime and inextricably bound to life around and on this great, wide ocean.
Leave it as ya found it, will ya?
Its native people, especially those of the South Seas and the far north, enjoyed and depended on the bounty of the sea for many centuries before the rest of the world came to share. The ocean is one of the prime sources of seafood for the world. The Pacific yields about 60% of all fish consumed by humans. Sardines, tuna, herring, salmon, they're all there. In the south, whole fleets of factory ships from Japan and Russia harvest untold amounts of squid. The north Pacific used to be a popular hunting ground for whalers before they ran out of whales.
Other resources found in the Pacific and sought by man are the pearls of the central American, Philippine and Japanese coasts; vast expanses of ocean floor in the central Pacific are rich in polymetallic nodules where they're pretty hard to get at; high grade sand and gravel are easily gotten from some of its shores. Oil and natural gas deposits are relatively small compared to other parts of the world and given the size of the area.
While the Pacific is vast by any measure, it's not limitless. Many of its natural resources, particularly fish, are being stretched to the limits and industrial pollution from the United States, Japan, Taiwan and mainland China is an increasing issue. Coral reefs in the west and south-west, always sensitive to environmental changes, are showing wear and signs of dying while many species indigenous to its coasts and islands have become extinct or are threatened.
Possibly the greatest concern among Pacific nations, especially the small countries made up of small, low-lying islands, is that of climate change and global warming. It's easy for us elsewhere to take our chances and academically squabble over whether it's happening or not but for some countries it's a matter of existence since even a modest rise in sea level could simply wipe them off the map and turn them from tropical paradises into nothing more than underwater shipping hazards.
Many cultures bound to the sea call the ocean "mother." The Pacific, most ancient and greatest of them all, is the mother of all oceans.
Too many to name individually. Much from memory.

GROWTH OF LEGAL PROFESSION IN INDIA
By Mayank Shekhar | September 24, 2016
The complex legal system of today cannot exist without its experts. A lawyer is a person who possesses expert knowledge of law and has practical skill in its working. In India lawyers are officers of the court helping judges in the administration of justice. A well organized and independent legal profession is not only a pre condition for proper administration of justice, but it is also a necessary ingredient and guarantor of the rule of law.
The first time an attempt was made to organize the legal profession was by Lord Cornwallis in one thousand seven hundred ninety three, who by Regulation VII authorised the sadar Diwani Adalat to enroll pleaders for the Company's courts in Bengal, Bihar and Orissa.
The Charter of one thousand seven hundred seventy four empowered the Supreme Court at Calcutta to enroll advocates and attorneys. However only English and Irish barristers and attorneys were allowed and no Indian had the right to appear before the Court.
The Legal Practitioners Act, one thousand eight hundred seventy nine was a comprehensive legislation to consolidate and amend the law relating to legal practitioners. The Act gave wide powers to the High Courts to enroll lawyers for different courts and also to take disciplinary action against them. They had the powers to make rules with respect to the qualifications and admission of proper persons as advocates and vakils of the courts. The High Courts were also authorised to make rules with respect to qualifications and admission of pleaders and mukhtars for the subordinate courts. An important provision of the Act which continues to exist even now, empowered the District Judges, Session Judges, District Magistrates etc. to publish the list of courts.
The dissatisfaction over the distinction between vakils and advocates with respect to appearance on the original side of the High Courts and also a demand for an All India Bar, led to the appointment of the Indian Bar Committee, one thousand nine hundred twenty three under the chairman ship of Sir Edward Chamrier. Committee recommended the establishment of a Bar Council for each High Court. It became the basis of the passing of the Indian Bar Councils Act.
Indian Bar Councils Act, one thousand nine hundred twenty six established a Bar Council for each High Court consisting of fifteen members, one of whom was the Advocate- General as the ex-officio Chairman. The roll of all the practitioners enrolled under a High Court was to be maintained by that High Court which had the power to enrot them and also of taking disciplinary action against them. The Act still left much of that what was desired Legal practitioners were still dissatisfied as no active autonomy had been given to the profession. The Bar Councils were simply advisory bodies and the real powers vested in the High Courts. Another grouse was against the distinction between advocates and attorneys and restrictions on advocates of one High Court to appear in another High Court.
After Independence, the Advocates Act, one thousand nine hundred sixty one gave a right to every advocate of the Supreme Court to practise in any High Court. Lawyers community still wanted a unified autonomous body with no class distinctions among lawyers. In view of their demand, an All India Bar Committee was appointed in one thousand nine hundred fifty one, under the Chairmanship of Justice S. R. Das. The committee recommended creation of an all India Bar Council with common roll of all advocate and also the Bar Council for States with larger autonomy. It also recommended that only law graduates should be enrolled as advocates. These recommendations were endorsed by the Law Commission in one thousand nine hundred fifty eight, and they became the basis of the Advocates Act, one thousand nine hundred sixty one.
Dissatisfaction with this kind of arrangement continued to mount among the legal practitioners. They got a new stimulus on the establishment of the Supreme Court in 1950. The Supreme Court Advocates (Practice in High Courts) Act, one thousand nine hundred fifty one, gave a right to every advocate of the Supreme Court to practice in any High Court. But that was not enough. Lawyer community wanted unified autonomous bar with no class distinctions among lawyers. In view of their demand, in one thousand nine hundred fifty one the Government of India appointed the all India Bar Committee under the Chairmanship of Justice S.R. Das to report on the desirability of an all India Bar Council and a separate Bar Council for the Supreme Court, abolition of the distinction between counsel and solicitors existing in Calcutta and Bombay High Courts, abolition of different classes of lawyers, consolidation of the existing laws on the subject, and all other connected matters.
The Advocate Act, one thousand nine hundred sixty one was passed to redress long standing demands of the Indian Lawyers Community. The main provisions of the Act are,
(1) The Act which extends to the whole of India provides a federal structure for legal profession. It provides for a number of State Bar Councils and Bar Councils of India.
(2) It provides for only one category of lawyers to be known as advocates.
(3) An advocate is initially enrolled with a State Bar Council and a common roll of all the advocates in the Country is maintained by the Bar Council of India. No advocate can get himself enrolled with more than one State Bar Council, though he can get himself transferred from one State Bar Council to another and is also entitled to appear before any court or tribunal throughout the country.
(4) State Bar Councils consist of 15 to 20 members, elected by the advocates. The Advocate General of the State concerned is the ex officio Member. Every State Bar Council has the following committee,—
(a) Executive Committee
(b) Enrolment Committee
(c) One or more Disciplinary Committees
(d) One or more Legal Aid Committees
(e) Committees for Special Projects
The function of a State Bar Council are,
(1) To admit advocates on its roll,
(2) To entertain and determine cases of misconduct against advocates on its roll,
(3) To safeguard the rights, privileges, and interests of advocates on its roll,
(4) To conduct seminars, organize talks and publish legal periodicals,
(5) To organize legal aid for the poor,
(6) To perform any other functions conferred on it under the Act,
The Bar Council of India is the National body of lawyers. It consists of,
(a) The Attorney General of India
(b) The Solicitor General, and
(c) One member elected by each State Bar Council from amongst its members.
The Bar Council of India has the following committees,
(b) Legal Education Committee
(c) Disciplinary Committee
(d) One or more Committees for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of the Act
The functions entrusted to the Bar Council of India are,
(1) Laying down standards of professional conduct and etiquette for advocates and the procedure to be followed by its Disciplinary Committee and the Disciplinary Committees of each State Bar Council,
(2) Promotion of law reform,
(3) Supervisions and control over State Bar Councils,
(4) Promotion of legal education,
(5) Recognition of universities whose degree will qualify a person to be enrolled as an advocate as well as recognition of foreign qualifications for the same purpose,
(6) Conducting of seminars and talks on legal matters and publishing of legal journals,
(7) Organizing legal aid for the poor,
(8) All other functions conferred by the Act.
The Advocates Act, one thousand nine hundred sixty one, materializes a long dream of the members of legal profession to have an all India Bar and professional autonomy. The Act also achieves other connected objectives such as the improvement of legal education and uniformity of standards.
An analysis of the functioning of Bar Councils reveals that even though they have been effective in matter of rights of lawyers, their attitude towards duties of lawyers has been lax, Growing indiscipline among the lawyers community in India, and lack of action by the Bar Councils is a serious matter which needs immediate action. Lawyers are the pillars of rule of law, and their declining public image does not augur well for the future.

We just posted the first in a series of videos on "How to SUP Foil".
Great video. This is really helpful because these shorter boards tend to paddle in circles.
Great Video Robert (as usual). Interesting perspective(s) - Evan.
aka I am paddling a 6' 6" board and have ZERO issue with yaw. Never even thought about it.
BOTH with NO SURFING and NO SUP'ing background.
You thought people got grief for learning to SUP in the line-up.
What is going to happen when people are starting from scratch ON FOIL BOARDS. WOOOOOAAAAAAA!
PUTTING YOUR HAND IN FRONT OF THE OPPOSITE SHOULDER.
Robert is focusing on the Paddle's Angle to the Board. However he is also extending his left hand well over his body in front of his right shoulder. Robert is Regular footed. Those of us who were trained to paddle properly may be taking this for granted.
I am goofy footed and extend my Right hand over my left Shoulder. This technique is also critical when attempting to catch the wave with your front foot in the straps.
Had plenty of beach discussions with others talking about putting a fin on/near the nose, or even "finlets" near the nose rocker by guys thinking the need them to paddle straight, and I have to remind them that they've got the biggest f'n "fin" they could ask for already hanging below their board.
i use the crossover all the time when paddlling downriver. You think that does not work on the foil? I dont even live near any open water and only kite foil and wake foil. But i am dying to surf foil once i get to the ocean.
On my shorter boards, I combat yaw by doing a series of white trash maneuvers that may or may not be blessed by the gods. I do not care.
1) I take one or two shorter grabs up towards the nose. These are quick 1-2 foot digs. Light digs, not heavy.. The stroke never goes past middle board(handle). These start about 6 inches closer towards the nose than my regular stroke.
2) While I am doing the light digs I lean the board in the water towards the dig. For example. Light dig left, while tilting board counter clockwise, or left. I believe this makes the left rail act more like a fin and gives it some tracking.. My friend told me this makes it yaw more, I disagree with him and call him a no good liar.
3) Last dig(s) before wave are longer and with more power. The longer digs allow me to do little quick unweight jumps that speed up the board.
I have tried what Kalama says and I feel like my wt technique works better for me.
I wish you posted these 12 months ago! Haaaa!
For those looking to use footstraps the foot positioning that Sam shows is KEY to learning how to takeoff.
If the wave is BIG keep the foot in front of the strap until you fly out into the flats or out on to the shoulder. If it is SMALL you can afford to put your foot in early at the top of the wave and FLY FREE!
I measure BIG as 5 foot faces or more. AND they have to be SOFT'r SLOPEY faces or you're cooked.
We just posted part 3 of this series which is about flying the foil, maintaining speed and staying on the sloping part of the wave. Beginners often don't angle down the line enough, outrun the wave, get into the flats and drop off the foil.
Thanks so much! Worth watching multiple times.
Robert and Sam, awesome video series, i am learning a lot.
Newb here with around 10 sessions under my belt. I am starting to feel comfortable paddling for the wave and catching it. One thing i just noticed in the second video, both you and Sam mentioned weighting and unweighting the foil when paddling for the wave and then engaging the foil. When I am catching the wave, it feels as if the foil is engaging as I am dropping down the wave face.
Can you elaborate more on the weighting/unweighting part when paddling for a wave? Will this help me to catch waves earlier?
Basically you can start to hop up and down on the board while you are paddling for the wave before you have enough speed for liftoff.
I learned this from downwind foiling where you have very little push from the bumps and need to create lift from almost nothing. If you time the pumping/ un-weighing of the foil right (unweigh the board during power phase of stroke) with the slight acceleration from the bump, you can engage the foil and lift off at much lower speeds than when you just use the board speed from catching a steeper wave to lift the foil. Once you get this figured out you can catch and ride waves on a foil that you would be unable to catch on a regular SUP. It also helps to catch waves further out and avoid the steep takeoffs that are tricky on a foil.
You want to basically try to increase the speed of the water flowing over the foil by hopping up and down and reduce drag by getting the foil to lift the board out of the water. You can push down on the paddle and put more of your body weight on the paddle during the power phase and lift up your legs at the same time to help take weight off the board and foil. I hope that makes sense, you just have to practice it a lot to figure it out.
Robert, thanks for the explanation, I think I get it.
I will try this out tomorrow, swell has dropped off so hopefully this technique will help with the fading swell. Thanks again!!


Many industrial fermentation processes aim at the production of primary or secondary metabolites, for instance the volatile flavor compounds in food fermentations. Because many of these target molecules are either extracellular or difficult to detect within a single cell, it is very challenging to select for individual mutants that produce increased amounts of the desired metabolite.
Our project focuses on the identification of individual Lactococcus lactis cells that produce an increased amount of chemical compounds with application in food industry. One example of these compounds is diacetyl, an aromatic compound, giving a buttery flavor to dairy products.
We aim to tackle the difficulties of product yield selection making use of micro-droplet culturing and microbial indicator strains, in order to select for mutants that produce increased amounts of industrially-relevant molecules. Indicator strains will be constructed with fluorescent reporters in combination with suitable promoters that are activated by the desired product.
Molecular biology techniques applied to Lactococcus lactis and Escherichia coli, flow cytometry, transcriptome analysis, microdroplets technology.

Jon Gosselin Says Coparenting Won't 'Ever Exist' With Ex-Wife Kate: 'We Are Never Going to See Eye to Eye'
By Mariel Turner

Meghan Markle's Canada Style Is Already Impeccable Thanks to This Tote
Separate lives. Jon Gosselin revealed exclusively to Us Weekly that he doesn't believe he and former wife Kate Gosselin will "ever" be able to coparent their eight children.
Kate and Jon Gosselin's Drama-Filled History
The Jon and Kate Plus 8 alum, 42, opened about his family life with Kate and their twin daughters, Madelyn and Cara, 18, and sextuplets Collin, Hannah, Leah, Alexis, Aaden and Joel, 15, during David and Jackie Seigel's Victoria's Voice event held to raise awareness for America' teen opioid crisis at The Westgate Hotel in Las Vegas on Friday, October 25.
"I don't think coparenting is ever going to exist between us because we are never going to see eye to eye," Jon explained. "We have completely different parenting styles and she still wants to film, but I'm never going to sign work permits. That already went to court and I won but she went against my legal rights.
Jon went on to explain that while he has custody of Collin and Hannah, he rarely gets to visit his other six children and has little-to-no relationship with them due to Kate's interference.
Now and Then! Take a Look at the Gosselin Family Through the Years
"I agree [that they are my children] but their mother [Kate] puts roadblocks all the way," the DJ told Us. "So, at this point I've agreed that as long as Hannah and Collin still talk to their siblings and the kids can interact with each other, then that's fine with me. I'll go along. And I don't have no direct contact as of right now."
Jon and Kate tied the knot in 1999 and welcomed Madelyn and Cara in 2001. The sextuplets were born in 2004 and the family began filming Jon and Kate Plus 8 three years later. Jon left the show in 2009 amid his divorce from Kate, 44. He now says that the hit TLC series has become a cautionary tale for fans.
"It's weird because our show became almost political, a big controversy," the part-time prep cook said. "Then I was like, 'This isn't for me' and I wanted to leave. Then I saw a decline in some of my children and I decided this wasn't for my children and I wanted to take some of them off [the show]. And then for future shows, she was like 'yes' and I was saying 'no,' and then it became this legal battle because we're trying to decide what's right and what's wrong. Any time there is turmoil, that becomes a media circus. So, here we are."
Biggest Feuds in Reality TV History
The former reality TV star has been vocal about his children's desires to stop filming in the past but told Us that he plans to be more reserved when speaking about his kids in the future.
"My twins have asked me not to speak about them to the media and I've stopped," he said. "Their birthday came up and I didn't say anything. And the two that live with me [Colin and Hannah] I decided that I'm not going to talk about them anymore because now I know they're safe, they're OK. And so, I've decided to just let all the kids be teenagers. Anything else that comes up will just be about me and her, whatever that might be."

What to Expect From LeBron James, Quarter by Quarter
August 31st, 2009 by Jon Nichols
Now that I've explored shot types at the team level, it's time to move on to a single player. What better player to look at than the league's MVP, LeBron James? Using the play-by-play data at BasketballValue, I will explore how James changes his style of attack as the game progresses, and whether or not he optimizes his shot selection.
The graph below shows LeBron's shot selection for each quarter during the 2008-09 season:
Midrange shots (in terms of the way I define them) are the most common shot attempt in the game, so it's no surprise that most of James' shots come from this area. His preference for this type of shot stays consistent throughout the game. However, he's no dummy, and he uses his size and athleticism to attack the rim early and often. Of course, when we compare these shots to three-point attempts, we notice a strange pattern. Despite being much more efficient on close attempts (more on this later), LeBron shies away from this type of shot as the game progresses and instead takes more threes. In the third quarter he actually takes slightly more three-pointers than close shots (remember, though, that shooting fouls are not included, so in actuality he probably still takes more close shots), before the numbers revert slightly back to normal in the fourth.
Why would James do this? There are a number of factors that come into play. Fatigue would be my best guess. It's clear to everyone in the building that James is a superstar, so he not only must carry the offensive load but also deal with opposing defenses that are focused on stopping him. It wouldn't be shocking to find out that he settles for more outside shots as the game wears on simply because he doesn't have the energy to keep taking the ball inside. Another possible reason is opposing coaches growing tired of his easy buckets and stopping at nothing to prevent those later in the game.
Regardless of the reasons they occur, are LeBron's in-game offensive adjustments beneficial for his team? Let's take a look at the efficiency of each shot type for every quarter:
The answer to my last question seems to be "no." Not only is he much more efficient at close shots than three-pointers throughout the game (something any basketball fan could tell you), but he actually gets progressively worse on threes as the game goes on. In the first quarter, he's quite efficient from long range, but by the end of the game he's below average. Meanwhile, his efficiency from close range remains about the same. Yet for some reason, LeBron favors the three-ball more and more as the game progresses.
Fatigue could be a factor again, and we also must consider the interaction between these shot types. James obviously must keep defenses honest, so abandoning the three completely despite it not being super-efficient would be a bad move.
Still, I think there's a lot to learn from all this. James is not shooting as efficiently in the fourth quarter as he is in the first. The question is whether it's because of poor decision-making, fatigue, or defensive adjustments. Whatever the reason, it's clear the Cavaliers would be better offensively if James could maintain his first quarter efficiency at all times.

Did you figure in shot attempts that are not counting as shot attempts because of shooting fouls?
Jon Nichols writes:
September 2nd, 2009 at 11:40 pm
As I mentioned in the article, we can't include shooting fouls because we don't know what type of shot attempts the fouls came on or how many came after the bonus. However, if we assume that most of LeBron's free throws come on close attempts, his numbers still show a decline in those as the game goes on. In fact, if we attribute every single free throw to a close shot attempt, he's still taking about 10% less close shots in the fourth quarter than he is in the first. Those numbers are exaggerated even more if we look at the third quarter or if we assume not every single free throw was due to a dunk or layup attempt (a very reasonable assumption).

That was good and I echo Anna McNuff's words; in that we do not conquer mountains or races through mountainous terrain. Conquer : defeat, vanquish , subdue … conveys dominance and agression. We are granted the privilege of access and we achieve our goals but it's not conquering. The mountain is a partner, probably senior, with whom we share the adventure. An analogy could be that we do not conquer a new love but that it is a shared experience.
I get mildly annoyed with all this conquering Everest etec etc nonsense .

Seasonal residents from nearly every state in the United States check the webcam to see what the weather is like, sometimes fascinated with how snowplowing on the extra-wide street gets done. Others enjoy watching our community's special events," said Lu Ann Hurd-Lof, Program Coordinator for the Park Rapids Downtown Business Association. "We want to extend a huge thank you to Arvig for partnering with us to sponsor the webcam for the community!"
"The Downtown Webcam is something a lot of people enjoy and we are happy to be a part of providing the service to everyone," said David Arvig, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at Arvig.

Spring Is Coming – What Does It Mean for You?
A week from now, on March 20, we will mark our calendars with the Vernal Equinox – which basically means, it will officially be the first day of Spring! But what does Spring actually mean in terms of climate change in your environment?
A week from now, on March 20, we will mark our calendars with the Vernal Equinox – which basically means, it will officially be the first day of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere of the world! But what does Spring actually mean in terms of climate change for your environment?
Many things symbolize Spring: flowers and plants begin to bloom, warmer winds begin to blow, rain showers the earth to nurture growth, temperatures rise… But the latter affects us and our homes more than we think, creating a great need to monitor the fluctuation in temperature and rapidly rising humidity. Moreover, with Global Warming lurking, it seems that Spring is actually arriving earlier than expected, causing imbalance in natural activity.
So, how do we cope with the effects of Spring? With our clothes we wear less layers and our sleeves are getting shorter, we may go to the pool or beach and drink more water to help cool down; but at home or work most of us just blast the AC without thinking of our power usage or if it actually helps us balance our environment.
Do you want to get ready for Spring and not worry about your home getting too warm or humid, or even suddenly cooler at night when temperatures drop? we've got the solution for you – order your Ambi Climate now through our site or Amazon (if you're in the US), and help yourself maintain a constant and comfortable environment in your home, not only during Spring but year-round! You can also take that Spring Break vacation you've been waiting for, without worrying about your clothes in the closet getting damp or your home over-heating – simply by using one of our smart AI-powered modes and teaching Ambi Climate how to cope with your unique setting.

WATCH: Girl Arrested For Pushing Her Friend Off Bridge
The 18-year-old woman who was filmed pushing her teenage friend off a 60-foot bridge has been charged with reckless endangerment.
Prosecutors announced the charge against Taylor Smith on Friday after 16-year-old Jordan Holgerson was left severely injured from the August 7 incident in Washington state.
The charge, first reported by ABC News, has a punishment of up to a year in jail and a maximum fine of $5,000.
It comes after Taylor had earlier claimed that Jordan asked her to push her off the Moulton Falls Bridge because she was scared.
Prior to the charges being announced, extended video obtained by NBC News revealed the lead up to the ordeal and showed Jordan repeatedly saying 'stop' and 'wait' for 15 minutes before Taylor pushed her.
Despite her hesitation, Taylor can be heard saying: 'Just go you promised you would do it. Taylor, I'm going to push you.'
'I don't care. I'd jump in there to save you if anything happens. Jordan, I got you,' Taylor said as she tried to reassure her friend.
She can be heard saying 'stop talking' just seconds before she shoved Jordan in the back, causing the teenager to belly flop into the water 60-feet below.
Jordan was left with multiple broken ribs and punctured lungs as a result.
Speaking publicly for the first time on Good Morning America on Friday, Taylor said she never thought about the consequences and thought her friend 'would be fine'.
'She wanted to jump and she was scared and she asked me to give her a push, I didn't think about the consequences,' Taylor said.
'I've apologized several times, but I haven't been able to see her in person.
'I went to the hospital. I got asked to leave, I wasn't allowed to see her.
'I never intended to hurt her, ever. I'm really sorry it turned out that way. I just pray she heals.'
It comes as Jordan's friends revealed that when they sent Taylor a text message after the incident asking what happened, the 18-year-old responded: 'I was there but didn't see full what happened'.
Jordan, who has been released from the hospital and is recovering at home, spoke out earlier this week saying she would like her friend to 'sit in jail' for what she did.
While family members had said Jordan initially didn't want to see her friend charged, the 16-year-old has since had a change of heart as she continues to recover.
'Now that I've thought about it more, I'm kind of wanting her to sit in jail and think about at least what she did,' Jordan said in an interview with Today.
While Taylor has apologized and said she 'feels really bad about what happened', the injured teen doesn't believe it is enough.
'I had five broken ribs, and we just found out I have another broken rib, and I had two punctured lungs,' Jordan said.
'I'm in a lot of pain. In the mornings it's the worst. It hurts to breathe, my side hurts, my shoulder hurts, I can't even get up.
'I'm probably going to be recovering for the rest of the school year.'
The Clark County Sheriff's Office finished its investigation earlier in the week and forwarded the case to the prosecutor's office for 'appropriate charging'.
Authorities said Taylor has been cooperating with the investigation.
Initial footage of the shove quickly went viral and showed Jordan standing on top of the bridge with a group of friends gathered behind her.
'No, I won't go in,' Jordan told her friends as they tried to pressure her to jump off the bridge.
She could be heard saying 'no' a second time before Taylor suddenly shoved her.
A horrifying thud could be heard as Jordan hit the water as someone off camera said: 'Oh, that's so f****d'.
In an interview from the hospital, Jordan said she thought she might have 'blacked out' midair, but was definitely aware and awake when she hit the water.
'I could have died, easily,' she told reporters two days after the incident.

Isaiah 10 vs. 27 – And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
What are the lessons from this scripture?
The third lesson is that this burden has to be taken off your shoulders for you to fulfil your destiny.
The fourth lesson is that this yoke on your neck, the yoke of poverty, sickness, dream attacks, nightmares, masturbation, sexual perversion, anger, greed, rebellion, stubbornness, has to be destroyed before Gods plan for your life will be fulfilled.
Lesson no 7: these burden and yokes are breakable, no matter how long or stubborn they are.
Lesson 9: today is the day of salvation; TODAY is THAT DAY the Bible talks about.
Lesson 10: burdens and yokes, can only be broken by the ANOINTING, which is the power of God.
What is a Yoke or burden?
What is the anointing that breaks yokes and burdens?
Acts 10 vs. 38 – How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
Anointing is the power of God that breaks yokes.
Anointing is the power of God that destroy stubborn burden.
Anointing is the power of God that set the captives free.
Anointing is the power of God that makes you stronger than the strong man enemy.
Anointing is the power of God that disgraces Goliaths, Herods, Pharaohs, and other oppressors.
Anointing is the power of God that breaks chains of oppression.
Anointing is the fire of God that consumes boosting powers.
Anointing is the power of God that pushes children of God into breakthrough.
Anointing is the power of God that casts out devils.
An anointed person is spiritually powerful.
An anointed person is filled with Holy Ghost.
When the Spirit of God falls on you, it makes you become a candidate of signs and wonders.
Elisha requested for and received a double portion of the Spirit of Elijah (2Kings 2:9) and he was able to do twice as much miracle as his boss. Elijah did 16 miracles, Elisha 32. And some of the miracles of Elisha were as twice great. Elijah shut the Heavens for 3 and ½ years (James 5:17), Elisha for 7 years (2 Kings 8:1).
Even our Lord Jesus Christ did not perform any miracle before the Holy Ghost descended on him in a bodily shape like a dove upon him (Luke 3:22), at the banks of River Jordan. It was after this divine impartation that he was led to the wilderness full of the Holy Spirit, and returned to Galilee in power of the Holy Ghost to begin his miracles marked with signs and wonders.
