News: Maki-e Kingfisher Limited Edition
July 20, 2020 By Joshua in News Tags: Fountain Pen, Kingfisher, M1000, Maki-e, New Release, Pelikan	25 Comments
There has been a dearth of new releases from Pelikan during the first half of 202o which is likely a reflection of the turbulent times that we find ourselves in. If pre-release rumors are to be believed, the second half of the year promises to be much more exciting. That run gets kicked off today with Pelikan's announcement of the forthcoming Maki-e release, Kingfisher. This newest model further flushes out the company's Maki-e portfolio, adding to last year's Five Lucky Bats and Japanese Umbrella. Pelikan describes the Kingfisher as, "a masterpiece that combines the craftsmanship of Pelikan Germany coupled with superior Japanese traditional Maki-e painting techniques." The accompanying literature describes the newest Maki-e fountain pen thusly;
"Kingfisher is a small bird that lives near the waterside. The kingfisher has a long, dagger-like beak. The plumage of most kingfishers is bright, with green and blue being the most common colors. In Japanese, it is also called jade or blue gemstone because of its bright colors. On the fountain pen, two beautiful Kingfishers are vividly painted on the background of burning red autumn leaves. The motive fantastically expresses a colorful scene in the autumn of Japan."
The Kingfisher is built off the M1000 chassis, consistent with most of their past Maki-e releases. Given the timing of the announcement, you can expect this model to be available next month. While there is no word yet on pricing, you should expect this ultra-limited edition to command a king's ransom. This one is reported to be limited to just 123 pieces worldwide.
A close-up of the detail on the Kingfisher's cap
The kingfisher is a colorful small to medium sized bird with most species located in the tropical regions of Africa, Asia, and Oceania. The Maki-e Kingfisher skillfully captures the bird's likeness and liveliness in great detail. The cap and barrel each depict a bird interspersed with a background of bright autumn foliage. The technical details aren't yet available, but I can discern elements of raden (finely ground abalone embedded onto lacquer-coated surfaces) and kirikane (gold leaf cut into shapes) employed to good effect within the design. Each fountain pen includes a limited edition number and the artist's signature hand painted using Maki-e techniques. The run of just 123 pieces mirrors what we saw with past releases like the Five Lucky Bats and Japanese Umbrella.
The Kingfisher will sport Pelikan's standard 18C-750 two-tone gold nib in a medium width though any M1000 nib can be swapped in after the fact. Complimenting the large nib is Pelikan's standard Souverän trim package. That includes a beak clip, two cap bands, two trim rings at the piston knob, and a single trim ring at the section, all of which are gold plated. The background for the single chick logo on the cap top is styled to match the pen's motif. The ink view window on this one again appears to be done in a dark green tint. Based on past releases, I would expect the pen to come packaged in a traditional Japanese gift box made of paulownia wood. While pricing is not yet reported, it's a safe bet to expect retail to run anywhere between $3300 and $4000 but fret not, cheaper releases are on the way. My personal take on this one is that the Kingfisher is one of the nicest Maki-e releases that we've seen in some time, and that's saying something. I would love to bring this one home to roost but even my flock has its limits. What do you think of the Kingfisher fountain pen? Which Maki-e release has been your favorite over the past few years and will this one be joining your flock?

Thank you for the up-date!
Kevin Krizman says:
The new Maki-e does indeed look like a beautiful pen, and you seem to be correct, it will command more of a ransom than a price. My favorite dealer listed it for pre-order today at 3900€ (including 16% VAT—temporarily reduced from 19% as an economic incentive)
Yes, even with the reduced VAT, this one is no bargain. That price is about the average that I've seen quoted.
Aconnoisseur says:
What a beautiful work of art! A pity it will be absolutely beyond my means…
However, I note the good news that if "pre-release rumors are to be believed, the second half of the year promises to be much more exciting". I wonder if we are going to get exciting new M800s and M600s?
Maybe… 😉
ํYou are doing a great job at these updates, and a cruelty beyond belief against my wallet!
Don't blame me for your wallet's woes. I'm just the messenger 🙂
Paul met Debbie says:
A new Pelikan Maki-e is always exciting. I must confess however that I feel the artist has not done a stellar job on depicting the King fisher. The colours are not complete (some distinct white is missing in the pluimage), the way the birds beak is connected to the body is wrong and the eye is very strange with the gold ring around it. Also the beak should be more straight. And most of all, the beak of a Kingfisher is not yellow/gold, but dark. So the gold should have been in the background. There is also not much variation in the foliage, a bit of green would have made a more lively and natural picture.
My favorite Maki-e so far is the Japanese Umbrella 2019.
I agree that an exact likeness of the kingfisher it is not. That said, this is a piece of art as much as it is a functional pen and as a work of art, some artistic license should be allowed. The kingfisher family consists of 114 different species. Some of those have bright orange beaks and many you wouldn't even recognize as members of the family. I think the artists captures much of the essence of the kingfisher, if not the exact likeness. I also like that they depicted the bird on the cap in a dive as the kingfisher is a master of the dive, one of their more outstanding characteristics (in general). Still, that is why it's nice to have the variability. The Japanese Umbrella is nice and I can certainly see how it appeals though to me the Dragonfly, Five Lucky Bats, and Kingfisher are the most appealing over the past few years. Thanks for sharing your opinion.
Tuhin Baucus says:
This has immediately become my grail pen. Too bad it's not even close to affordable. 😦 Kingfishers have a very special place in my heard, and goodness, this work is gorgeous. I love the mix of the autumn (my favourite season) leaves and the kingfisher.
I think that is what gets me the most about this release too. I love the autumn foliage (my favorite season as well) which makes for a wonderful environment for the kingfisher.
I have to confess that this really appeals to me, along with the Peacock and Japanese Umbrella, which is probably my favourite. Sadly, a bit out of my pricerange, however, one can dream about such beautiful pieces of art.
Thankfully we remain free to dream. I hope that it looks as good in person as it does in photos. I was let down by the Maki-e Fireworks which I loved but was underwhelming when actually seen in person.
This is one of the most beautiful Pelikan Maki-e pens – It is of the caliber of Cranes and Mount Fuji and Genji. It is a miniature version of Dunhill Namiki Kingfisher at fraction of the price. Kudos to Pelikan. Not just a contender but a sure shot for the Penworld award.
You mentioned two great Pelikan models from the past there, ones that I've never encountered in person. Exquisite art pieces. The Dunhill Namiki is no slouch but doesn't grab me the way that this one does. If the Kingfisher is of the same caliber as the pens you mentioned when seen in real life, it's going be a contender indeed.
The way dealers have committed most of the pens alloyed to them tells me they will be one the pens sold out in a very brief period.
Incidentally, to me the numerous Uno among all Pelikan maki-e pens is Dragon & Phoenix.
I agree that these are not going to hang around. Not surprising given the small production run. Dragon & Phoenix is a real treat to behold but, for me, I think number one might be Sea World. I like how the colors pop whereas the Dragon is a bit more one note (though a beautiful note indeed).
I got a request from an acquaintance that he is having a "COVID" sale of his Pelikan Japanese Umbrella. If any of you is interested e-mail me at chechu@comcast.net. I said I would try to help.
I appreciate you letting the community know of the opportunity and I understand your efforts to try and help your friend. That said, the terms of my site state the following will result in moderation and/or censure; "Any attempts at advertising, promoting or soliciting any goods or services, or otherwise engaging in trade or commerce." No worries though. I'll leave this up but please don't make it a habit. Thanks!
Thanks for letting me know.
Ulf says:
Its an unbelievable beautiful pen. A lot of websites which did offer it mid of July did already take it from their website, as its already sold out. Wow, that was fast, as its not even delivered until now….
Ultra limited editions like this which are highly desirable tend to sell out quickly. Most vendors get only one piece to sell and many get none. By the time this is available in retail, I don't expect but a few pieces to not already have been spoken for.
Ah ok, and I think the other reason it's very beautiful. I like the Raden Green Ray a a lot and that one is still available.
Both are phenomenal appearing pens. They hit it out of the park with the Green Ray. I can only hope that the Kingfisher looks as good as the pics. The Green Ray is an edition of 400 vs 123 for the Kingfisher. There are a lot more of the Green Ray to go around relatively speaking.

Stenhouse Jr. on racing at Richmond:
"Our short track program has been strong this year so I'm looking forward to Richmond this weekend. Last year, you could run the bottom or the top groove so I expect it to be racy on Sunday. If we can execute on pit-road and keep our Fifth Third Ford up near the front then we should be able to leave Richmond with another top-10 finish. That's our goal."

Seth has left ninety per cent of his vast, secret fortune to his housemaid.

Air New Zealand Flight NZ974 from Auckland has just landed in Tonga after an earlier flight today had to turn back, the company says.
It follows days of disruption to international and domestic flights caused by ash from the Hunga-Ha'apai offshore volcano.
The ash cloud has stranded hundreds of holiday-makers, and some of the backlog of cargo is starting to spoil.
Viliami Ma'ake, the chief executive of Tonga's airport, said cargo like fish had not been able to be sent overseas.
But he said the ash cloud was not affecting high-flying aircraft passing above Tonga on their way to other countries.
Virgin Australia also managed to land a plane from Sydney in the capital Nuku'alofa this afternoon and has also managed to return from there to Auckland.
Immigration New Zealand said it had managed to meet and assess all of the passengers stranded at Auckland Airport while trying to make it to Tonga.
About 24 passengers were effectively stuck in transit today after being on the earlier flight that had to turn back because of ash from Hunga-Ha'apai.
Where possible, passengers were allowed entry back into New Zealand.
An Immigration New Zealand spokesperson said some of the stranded passengers left on the Air New Zealand flight that has just landed in Nuku'alofa.
Flight NZ974 is the first Air New Zealand flight that has been able to land in Tonga since the latest volcanic disruption forced flights to be cancelled.


Here's a classic story of how government infrastructure develops and its consequences.
Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert. The decision makers in the upper echelon said, "Someone may steal from it at night." So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.
The decision makers said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?" So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies.
The decision makers said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?" So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people. One to do the studies and one to write the reports.
The decision makers said, "How are these people going to get paid?" So they created the following positions, a time keeper, and a payroll officer, then hired two people.
Then the decision makers said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?" So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.

Q: What is the future of ArcGIS web development ? Is it JavaScript and HTML5? I want to know about the future of ArcGIS web development; is it HTML5?
I used to work with ArcObjects and .NET Web ADF so what is the best technology I must follow, especially when I know that Silverlight version updates have been stopped?
So I think that the best technology that must follow .NET in the future is JavaScript with HTML5. Is it true?

A: I think the ArcGIS Java Script API will be the best option.
As per your question Java Script API +Dojo +ArcGIS is the best option and it supports Desktop,mobile and TAB platforms.
Check out the pros/Cons of Java Script API here

A: I believe that everything is moving in that direction, mobile browsers only support javascript/html and even in win8 javascript/html is a supported stack for metro-apps. ESRI will have to follow, and they are (arcgis online etc.)
But, if your users still use older versions of IE on the desktop, right now adobe flex or silverlight is a better choice.
On modern browsers with a good framework like jquery or dojo javascript is really powerful.
On the server you can still use asp.net, but instead of generating html, you will be generating Json, that is parsed on in browser.

A: I'd actually say it's the present more than the future. There's a number of ways to consume ArcGIS Services, but the Javascript/HTML5 libraries are by far the most portable and widely usable of the group. They work on virtually everything these days.
ESRI has already moved away from the Web ADF, and Silverlight. It's only a matter of time before Flash follows suit given it's on a gradual downward trend. (I kind of hope they keep WPF support around because it's so handy for desktop application development, but that's a secondary thing.)
For a general purpose web app, Javascript is the way to go. Having used it personally, it's something I honestly find pretty easy to work with... doubly so compared to a beast like the Web ADF.

This is an edited version of a post i wrote before..
As the night wore its cloak, the demons inside her came alive. Tonight she was ready to devour his love. He looked into her eyes with that dreamy look he knew what was about to come, he knew her so well. He wanted her equally as badly as she wanted him.
The snake of intimacy filled it's fangs with passion and injected it into his veins. He burned inside with the heat of passion that made him badly thirsty for her. He took her hand and kissed the wedding band in her ring finger, the silvery platinum shined in the moonlight.
She kissed him passionately unleashing her trapped demons that came alive at once. She explored every bit of his taste buds. He replied back with the increasing intensity, the thirst in his throat became more ardent as he felt heat emnating through him which wrapped them together .
He slithered rows of kisses down her body freeing it from its clothes, like petals falling off the rose. Her skin shined in the moonlight reflecting her desires. She gave her fate in his hands, all she wanted was to drown in his love. Their existence wrapped as one she engraved his soul with her name. Tonight, they had each other forever. She kissed down his spine, playing with his fantasies.
Gently and slowly he penetrated her, making her his. She moaned with the sweet pain that witnessed her loyalty to him. He could feel the sparks that emnated from the contact. Their hearts beating in unision with the fire of lust roaring in their existence, the yearning to belong to each other was finally fed.
He carved himself into her soul as he penetrated deeper into her. Her nails etched into his skin as the melody of their moans echoed into the silent, waiting night. The play continued as the fire of lust roared burning and consuming their existence.
His heart leaped like a hungry predator and finally he ejected in her all that belonged to her. They lay together ravishing the moment, their demons satisfied.
i am curious, wat did the demons do?

How Guardianship Works in Indiana
Kirbee Anderson, JD
The guardianship process allows a loved one to step in and care for an adult with special needs or who has aged and reached a level of incapacity that leaves them unable to manage their affairs. Guardianships also provide a way for a non-parent to obtain legal authority to care for a child.

How Guardianship Works for Minor Children
How Guardianship Works for Older Adults
How Guardianship Works for Adults With Developmental Disabilities or Special Needs
Frequently Asked Questions: Guardianship in Indiana
For both minors and adults, Indiana offers temporary and permanent guardianships.
Temporary guardianships are an expedited option when there's an emergency, and the person needs a guardian to assist them because nobody else has the authority to act. Temporary guardianships last for 90 days.
Permanent guardianships for children last until they turn 18. For an adult, permanent guardianship lasts until the protected person's death. In both cases, an interested party can petition the court to terminate the guardianship sooner if, e.g., a child's biological parent regains the ability to parent or an adult regains capacity after a severe accident.
Only the court can appoint a guardian, so even someone with the highest priority still needs to go through the court for that appointment to be made official.
Indiana law prioritizes appointments if more than one person wants to be a guardian. The court will consider the priority list and the suitability of each nominee. The priority is:
Someone designated in a durable power of attorney
The spouse of an incapacitated person
An adult child of an incapacitated person
A parent of an incapacitated person or a person nominated in the will of a deceased parent
Anybody related by blood or marriage to the incapacitated person who has lived with them more than six months before filing the petition
A person whom the incapacitated person nominates, who is already caring for or paying for the incapacitated person's care
Children 14 and older can also nominate their preferred guardian.
Unfortunately, Indiana lacks standard statewide forms for adult or minor guardianship cases. However, each court may make these forms available; Hamilton County and Allen County both publish guardianship forms online. Indiana Legal Help also offers free forms online for minor guardianship cases.
As a general rule, you have to use the specific papers for the court where you're filing. Check the court's website, and if you still don't see any, don't hesitate to contact the court's clerks' office to confirm. Many websites sell court forms online, but they may not be updated or accurate.
There are some standard requirements regardless of where you file a guardianship in Indiana. First, you must file a petition to initiate your guardianship case. It contains basic information about each person involved and your request to the court to appoint a guardian.
The court also requires an "Acceptance of Appointment," the document the guardian signs accepting the position's responsibilities. The court might also want you to file proposed letters and orders of guardianship, which are the documents the court signs to make the guardianship official.
If you decide to hire an attorney for your case, the attorney can draft all the forms for you.
You open a guardianship case in the court that serves the county where the respondent resides. Depending on the court, you might be able to file your case electronically. Otherwise, you can file it in person at the court. Regardless of where you file, expect to pay a filing fee to start the case.
When filing an adult guardianship case, the court requires the petitioner to submit a doctor's letter describing the respondent's condition. The letter should explain the respondent's need for financial or personal decision-making assistance and whether their condition is likely to improve.
The court can appoint an attorney to represent the respondent and advocate for their needs in court.
Before the hearing, the petitioner must notify the respondent and any potentially interested parties about the case. These can include parents, children, and others close to the respondent. Those people and the respondent can participate in the hearing if they choose.
Both minor and adult cases culminate in a hearing. At the hearing, the judicial officer hears testimony and considers evidence about the respondent's need for a guardian and the suitability of the proposed guardian.
Depending on your needs, Indiana offers a few options for designating a guardian for your child.
First, parents typically nominate a proposed guardian in their will. Doing so creates clear written evidence regarding the parent's preferences for their child's future care in the event of their death.
A power of attorney might be helpful if you're looking for temporary delegations of authority. Parents can pass their parental responsibilities to another person via a power of attorney document. However, if there is a second parent in the picture, neither powers of attorney nor guardianships can be used to circumvent their custody of the child.
Standby guardianship
Standby guardianship is the most watertight option for providing for your child's care. Parents can create a document that nominates a standby guardianship for their child, which will take effect if the parents become severely ill or injured to the point of incapacity or death. The standby guardianship lasts for 90 days, which would give the standby guardian time to file for full guardianship with the local court.
While there's no standard statewide form for creating a standby guardian, Kid's Voice of Indiana offers a sample as a starting point.
Guardianships provide a way for non-parents to get a court order saying a child should be in their care and authorizes them to make legal decisions for the child. Guardians can also enroll in public benefits for the child, which is a crucial step for anyone in government-subsidized housing who needs to care for a child who is not their own.
Guardianship of the person
Most people who pursue guardianship do it to be able to legally care for a child. It opens doors to work with schools, medical professionals, and more on the child's behalf. Guardianships result in a legally enforceable court order that specifies who the child lives with and who can care for the child. However, the court only issues guardianships of the person to a non-parent.
These guardianships give all of the powers that parents traditionally have to a non-parent. As a result, the guardian can travel with the child, enroll them in school, and even manage small amounts of money like Social Security benefits. The court can restrict the guardian's power if the situation warrants it.
Guardianship of the estate
Unlike guardianship of the person, parents typically petition the court for guardianship of an estate. This gives the guardian the authority to accept and authorize money and property on behalf of a child. The guardian remains accountable to the court and becomes responsible for protecting the child's money until they reach adulthood.
Children who inherit money or get a personal injury settlement most commonly need guardianship of the estate. Ideally, parents will hear about this from an insurance company or other entity disbursing the funds. These entities will usually require proof of guardianship before releasing the money or property.
Aging impacts the brain and the body, whether through dementia, the cumulative effects of substance abuse, or the progression of chronic illness. Guardianships shouldn't infringe on the civil liberties of adults simply because they lose some bodily functions. Instead, they should provide essential decision-making support when people lose awareness and critical thinking skills.
Guardianships of the person
As with guardianships for children, guardianships for adults can be separated into guardianships of the person and the estate. While guardianships for minors are often package deals with the entire bundle of parental responsibilities delegated to another person, courts strive to make adult guardianships as limited in scope as possible.
A limited guardianship details the guardian's powers and only grants them specific abilities rather than carte blanche authority over the respondent. For example, guardianship of the person might grant the guardian authority to decide their ward's care placement, medical treatment, or other important life decisions. It also gives the guardian the authority to interact with people like doctors on behalf of the ward.
The court prefers restricted guardianships whenever possible.
Guardianships of the estate
A guardianship might be for the person, estate, or both. Guardianships of the estate specifically address the protected person's financial and business interests. As with guardianship of the person, the court determines whether a limited or unlimited guardianship best serves the respondent.
Indiana allows for the appointment of co-guardians. Having two people serve and share the responsibility can be especially beneficial when the protected person needs both care and financial assistance.
Guardianships for adults with developmental disabilities or special needs protect from exploitation and ideally support independent living as much as the respondent's condition permits. For many families, guardianships allow the person's parents to continue caring for them past their 18th birthday.
Like guardianships for elderly adults, guardianships for the person for special needs adults give another person decision-making authority regarding the person's life and care needs. Depending on the respondent's condition, the range can run from a completely unlimited guardianship to a very restricted guardianship that relies on the guardian to execute the respondent's wishes.
Some special needs adults only need assistance with managing money. For those respondents, the court can limit the guardianship to guardianship of the estate.
The court can also combine guardianship of the estate and guardianship of the person to give a guardian authority over both care and financial matters.
Common questions frequently arise in the course of starting a guardianship case. For more complex issues, a local probate attorney can provide detailed advice regarding your situation.
How long is temporary guardianship in Indiana?
A temporary guardianship expires after 90 days. A temporary guardian can petition the court for permanent guardianship.
What's the difference between guardianship, conservatorship, and custody in Indiana?
Custody cases adjudicate the parental responsibilities between parents. They can stem from divorce cases for married parents or be standalone cases for never-married parents. Custody cases can include non-parent third parties in limited situations, and one of the hallmarks of custody cases is establishing a parenting schedule. Those schedules can be intricate and accommodate a variety of family needs.
A minor guardianship grants the rights and responsibilities of a parent to a non-parent. Minor guardianships of the estate allow an adult to manage a minor's finances. Other states sometimes call guardianship of the estate a conservatorship.
Can you get guardianship without going to court in Indiana?
The only guardianship you can establish without going through the court is the standby guardianship parents can create for their minor children. Standby guardianships expire after 90 days, but the guardian can go to the court and petition the court for permanent guardianship.
Choose Your Own Guardian
Indiana's laws about guardianship mean it's crucial to put your wishes in writing. You can choose your own guardian or that of your child should you lose the ability to speak for yourself.

Isn't debugging fun? Just spent the last few hours digging around the Xense Profiler code trying to track down an irritating bug where the text of some of the APIs and queries is missing from the profile report. Finally tracked it down and the v1.2 maintenance release is now available from the Xense Profiler page.
Hopefully I shall have some time to start adding some of the really cool features that I have been planning. I'll keep this blog updated with the progress.
The next api is simply a call to retrieve the next row from a collection; in this case the collection is q1. Usually this collection originates from a query although certain other API calls also return collections, most notably the apply api to run an administration method.
So to find out which query is causing the performance problem we would have to search backwards in the trace file to find the last API that returned a collection q1 on session s0. This is all rather messy and if you have a large trace file (perhaps generated from a WDK application with a large numbers of users) rather error prone.
Having identified the culprit we can now start remedial action.
Before we developed the Xense Profiler analysing DMCL traces could be a time-consuming and frustrating business. Using the Xense Profiler I can pinpoint the performance problem in minutes.
By the way although the tool runs on Windows it will accept a DMCL trace generated on any platform. I am planning to provide a Java-based port of the tool, if you are interested in hearing more about this then drop me a mail at robin.east@xense.co.uk.
IAPI stands for the Interactive API interface, a command line utility for submitting Documentum API calls to the server. IAPI is part of the Unix Content Server installation. On Windows it is called IAPI32 – presumably the extra '32' is a reference to the 32-bit windows platform; I guess the original 16-bit Windows implementation was called IAPI but that was before my time!
Since the API is the lowest level interface to the Content Server IAPI is a great tool for troubleshooting when you want to cut the higher-level interfaces out of the equation. Normally you run IAPI directly on the Content Server machine, however there are circumstances where you are able to successfully test functionality on the Content Server but access from other machines (like WDK running on a remote application server) is still failing.
In this case it is often not clear whether the problem is with the DMCL layer on the app server trying to connect to the content server or maybe a problem higher up in the 'stack'. One quick way to confirm whether the problem exists at the (remote) DMCL layer is to copy iapi/iapi32.exe plus the corresponding DMCL shared library (dmcl40.so or dmcl40.dll) to the App server and then test the remote DMCL by running IAPI remotely.
However there is a problem if your remote DMCL is running on a different platform from the Content Server (e.g. app server is on windows and the app server is on Solaris) as IAPI will only run on the platform it was compiled for. In this case you should be able to download the corresponding Content Server installation and extract the required files.
It would be great if Documentum would make IAPI/IAPI32 generally available as a separate download. On a similar note Documentum 6 is likely to remove the need for a separate DMCL shared library by moving all the DMCL code into the DFC java layer. Will they be providing a similar tool that allows simple low level API tests? I hope so.

Supreme Court of India keep itself away from pro-Jallikattu protests in Tamil Nadu
NEW DELHI (INDIA): The Supreme Court of India (SCI) today preferred to stay away from the pro-Jallikattu protests across Tamil Nadu and said the issue of protecting the agitating supporters of the bull-taming sport can be raised before the Madras High Court.nn"Let the Madras High Court deal with it. You (petitioner) go there. Why do you come all the way to Supreme Court," a bench of Chief Justice J S Khehar and Justice D Y Chandrachud told a petitioner advocate who mentioned his plea seeking protection to the protestors who have assembled in large numbers at the Marina beach in Chennai for the third day today.nnAdvocate N Rajaraman, who mentioned the plea before the bench, said the protestors should not be assaulted like the Ramlila Maidan incident of 2011 where Baba Ramdev supporters were lathicharged by police.nnHe said the court should take suo motu cognizance of the development and provide relief to the pro-Jallikattu agitators.nnThe bench, however, asked the petitioner to approach the High Court for relief.nnThe development came on a day Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O Panneerselvam met Prime Minister Narendra Modi to seek promulgation of an ordinance to allow Jallikattu amid widespread protests in the state against the ban on the sport.nnThe apex court had reserved its verdict on December 7 last year on a batch of petitions challenging the Centre's notification allowing the sport.nnOn the next day, the Centre had issued a notification lifting the ban on Jallikattu in Tamil Nadu with certain restrictions, which was challenged in the apex court by Animal Welfare Board of India, People for Ethical Treatment of Animals India, a Bangalore-based NGO and others.nnThe Supreme Court had on January 21 last year refused to re-examine its 2014 judgement banning use of bulls for Jallikattu events or bullock-cart races across the country.nnIt had also stayed the January 8 notification of Centre and questioned the Centre over the notification allowing use of bulls in events like Jallikattu, saying that its 2014 verdict banning the use of the animals cannot be "negated".nnThe court in its 2014 judgement had said that bulls cannot be used as performing animals, either for Jallikattu events or bullock-cart races in the states of Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra or elsewhere in the country, and had banned their use across the country.nnThe apex court had also earlier declared Tamil Nadu Regulation of Jallikattu Act, 2009 as constitutionally void, being violative of Article 254(1) of the Constitution.nnSource: Press Trust of India

Q: Use Elmah with twitter and its mandatory oauth authentication? Since Twitter won't use basic authentication (login, password) anymore, I'm converting my app to using twitter with oauth authentication. In my code this was ok, but I also use Elmah to tweet the errors on a specific twitter account. But it seems Elmah only works with basic authentication. Is it true? Any workaround?
Thanks

A: I have added an issue on the Elmah web site and it has been accepted.
In the meantime, I'm trying to find a workaround but no success. My try was to add an event for error filtering but I get another issue, explained here. By doing this I would not filter the error but instead I would post it to twitter manually.


I am fascinated by traditional textile processes and the people who used them in the past. I like to use these old, laborious but beautiful techniques as a way of connecting with all the forgotten makers of the past and as a way of raising the status of these techniques. As my theme was stitches and folds I explored techniques such as smocking which make use of both folds and stitches.
The only thing i can 'relate' to in your book is the drawing of hands. The rest is out of my element and so absolutely gorgeous. When the tour returns to NY, I am heading over to see your book in person.


Putting on make-up is no haphazard matter, especially when you have sensitive skin. Here are a few guidelines for a successful make-up application.
You cannot get a perfect finish to your make-up if you have not properly cleaned the face. Dust accumulated throughout the day prevents the skin from breathing and make-up from holding. No more than once a week, use an exfoliating cleanser to purify and smooth.
Successful make-up application starts with good skin preparation, which means moisturisation. With this base, foundation appears more even and luminous. Choose a skin care product adapted to your skin's needs: dry, combination, oily, anti-ageing, etc.
Tinted concealers allow you to mask skin flaws. Blended 2 to 2, the colours cancel one another out. Green neutralises the red of rosacea, recent scars, visible blood vessels and post-laser redness. Yellow offsets the blue of undereye circles, varicosity or post-surgery bruising.
Begin by applying your foundation with four dabs: forehead, cheekbones, spine of the nose and chin. Then spread outward like a cream. The application technique will be the same regardless of the foundation type you choose: cream, fluid or compact. Apply with a brush and blend with the fingers for a natural look.
Finish with a cloud of powder to set the concealer and foundation and mattify areas prone to shine like the forehead, chin and sides of the nose. To extend the hold of your make-up, hold a mineral water mister 30 centimetres from your face and spray.
This step will also give you a healthy glow. Apply the blush to the apples of your cheeks for a burst of radiance. This touch of colour will liven up your complexion.
To open up your gaze, apply light colours to the inner, lower eyelid because they capture light. Use the most intense shades at the outer corners of the eyes for sophisticated, mesmerising eyes. A touch of mascara will perfect your make-up.
Begin by tracing the outline of your lips with a lip pencil to define their shape. This lip liner prevents lipstick from bleeding and helps it hold better. Choose a shade close to the colour of your lipstick. Apply your lipstick from the centre of the lips out to the corners. For added shine, add a touch of lip gloss.
For those who apply make-up with a brush, remember to clean them at least once a month with a suitable cleanser. This will minimise the risk of allergy while extending their shelf life.
To allow skin to breathe, it is essential that you completely cleanse your face each night to eliminate make-up and the day's impurities which prevent the skin from breathing. For sensitive skin, cleansing milk or micellar lotion are preferable.

Reflections from Trustee Peggy Vandervoort:
My heartfelt congratulations to all as you launch the new brand! The symbolism of the olive tree in the Alimentiv logo resonates deeply as I reflect on the evolution of the group. I joined Brian Feagan (Director) and Cindy Wong (Deputy-Director) in 1997 and provided many years of support for the clinical operations team.
Brian and Cindy's goals were firmly established from the start; to address therapeutic needs of patients, do great science and foster engagement of our staff. As the tree grew stronger with deeper roots and new branches, we realized that several 'nutrients' were needed. Larger teams of talented and skilled people provided with the resources required for their roles, innovative solutions to address unmet research needs and the investment of profits in research and development were required.
The team accomplished many firsts under Brian and Cindy's leadership such as our first full-service trial, first global trial, first randomized evaluation of a care-path and first trial incorporating optimized, centrally read endoscopic and histopathologic outcome scores, to name a few. I am very grateful to the loyal sponsors, clinical site teams and consultants who have partnered with us over the years. New outcome measures and therapies, high impact publications and lasting bonds of friendship have been the result!
I fast forward to today, in awe that the group I joined with less than a dozen staff in the 1990's currently has a growing global presence and over 300 employees. Now retired, I am grateful for the opportunity to continue my association as a Trustee of the organization. I wish the newly branded Alimentiv team continuing success as they respond to emerging needs for heath care innovation.

TIP! You might not need a mechanic to fix your car problem. You can easily learn to perform small repairs yourself.
Your car is something that costs you quite a bit of money and time if you don't know what it takes to care for it. It is not only important to learn about your particular vehicle's model, you also need to be aware of other tips. Keep reading to save money and time on auto repairs.
You should keep your car's records in a handy location. Keep these documents in a solid folder inside your glove compartment. Repair professionals may want to see these records for repair purposes. They aid in speeding up the diagnosing process.
