What is doctrine of "indoor management" ? Discuss with the help of decided cases.
There are various principles in the corporate world that help determine the relationship which ensures the safety of various stakeholders in the company in the transactions that they undertake. The doctrine of indoor management is one such principle. The doctrine of indoor management was evolved 150 years ago. It is also known as Turquand's rule. The other principle that is commonly referred to in this context is the principle of constructive notice.
The principle of constructive notice protects the company from frivolous claims by outsiders'. The third party cannot claim to not having been notified of the Company's procedures or practices if they are a party to the MOA and the AOA. It is deemed to have been understood that a prudent person would have read the MOA and the AOA before agreeing to enter into an agreement with the company. The doctrine of constructive notice is limited to the external position of the company.
The role of doctrine of indoor management is opposed to of the role of doctrine of constructive notice.The doctrine of indoor management follows from the doctrine of 'constructive notice' laid down in various judicial decisions. The hardships caused to outsiders dealing with a company by the rule of'constructive notice' have been sought to be softened under the principle of 'indoor management'. It affords some protection to the outsiders against the company.
The doctrine of constructive notice protects company against outsiders whereas the doctrine of indoor management protects outsiders against the actions of company. This doctrine also is a possible safeguard against the possibility of abusing the doctrine of constructive notice.
According to this doctrine, persons dealing with the company need not inquire whether internal proceedings relating to the contract are followed correctly, once they are satisfied that the transaction is in accordance with the memorandum and articles of association.
Shareholders, for example, need not enquire whether the necessary meeting was convened and held properly or whether necessary resolution was passed properly. They are entitled to take it for granted that the company had gone through all these proceedings in a regular manner.
The doctrine helps protect external members from the company and states that the people are entitled to presume that internal proceedings are as per documents submitted with the Registrar of Companies.
Whereas the doctrine of constructive notice protects a company against outsiders, the doctrine of indoor management protects outsiders against the actions of a company. This doctrine also is a possible safeguard against the possibility of abusing the doctrine of constructive notice.
The person entering into a transaction with the company only needed to satisfy that his proposed transaction is not inconsistent with the articles and memorandum of the company. He is not bound to see the internal irregularities of the company and if there are any internal irregularities than company will be liable as the person has acted in the good faith and he did not know about the internal arrangement of the company.
The rule is based upon obvious reason of convenience in business relations. Firstly, the articles of association and memorandum are public documents and they are open to public for inspection. Hence an outsider "is presumed to know the constitution of a company, but what may or may not have taken place within the doors that are closed to him.
The doctrine of indoor management was evolved 150 years ago. It is also known as Turquand's rule. The role of doctrine of indoor management is opposed to of the role of doctrine of constructive notice. The doctrine of constructive notice protects company against outsiders whereas the doctrine of indoor management protects outsiders against the actions of company. This doctrine also is a possible safeguard against the possibility of abusing the doctrine of constructive notice.
ORIGIN OF THE DOCTRINE
This doctrine was laid down in the case of Royal British Bank V. Turquand,
The directors of the company borrowed some money from the plaintiff. The article of company provides for the borrowing of money on bonds but there was a necessary condition that a resolution should be passed in general meeting. Now in this case shareholders claims that as there was no such resolution passed in general meeting so company is not bound to pay the money. It was held that the company is bound to pay back the loan. As directors could borrow but subjected to the resolution, so the plaintiff had the right to infer that the necessary resolution must have been passed.
It was held that Turquand can sue the company on the strength of the bond. As he was entitles to assume that the necessary resolution had been passed. Lord Hatherly observed- "Outsiders are bound to know the external position of the company, but are not bound to know its indoor management."
Sections 290 provides for the validity of acts of directors- acts done by a person as a director shall be valid, notwithstanding that it may afterwards be discovered that his appointment was invalid by reason or any defect or disqualification or had terminated by virtue of any provisions contained in this act or in the articles:
Provided that nothing in this section shall be deemed to give validity to acts done by a director after his appointment has been shown in the company to be invalid or to have terminated
"The object of the section is to protect persons dealing with the company outsiders as well as members by providing that the acts of a person acting as director will be treated as valid although it may afterward be discovered that his appointment was invalid or that it had terminated under any provision of this act or the articles of the company."
ESTABLISHMENT OF THE DOCTRINE
The rule was not accepted as being firmly well established in law until it was approved by the House of Lords in Mahoney v East Holyford Mining Co.In this case, It was contained in the company's article that a cheque should be signed by 2 of the 3 directors and also by the secretary. But in this case the director who signed the cheque was not properly appointed. The court said that that whether director was properly appointed or not it comes under the internal management of the company and the third party who receives cheque were entitled to presume that the directors had been properly appointed, and cash cheques.
Exceptions to doctrine of indoor management
In following circumstances relief of indoor management cannot be claimed by an outsider who is dealing with the company.
Where the outsider had knowledge of irregularity – The rule will not apply if the person dealing with the company has slight knowledge about the lack of authority of person who is acting on behalf of the company in this situation the doctrine will not apply.
In the case of Howard v. Patent Ivory Co., the directors cannot borrow more than 1000 pound without the consent of the company's annual general meeting. Directors borrowed 3500 pound without the consent of annual general meeting from another director who took debentures. Now as the plaintiff is director than he has the knowledge about the internal irregularity. Held- the debentures are good only for the 1000 pounds only because the plaintiff (director) has the knowledge of the internal irregularity
No knowledge of memorandum and articles- again, the rule cannot be invoked by a person on the ground that he don't have the knowledge of memorandum and articles and thus he did rely on them.
In the case of Rama Corporation v. Proved Tin & General Investment Co., the X who was director in the company entered into a contract with Rama Corporation while purporting to act on behalf of the company and he also took a cheque from them. The articles of the company did provide that the director may delegate their power but Rama Corporation did not have knowledge of this as they did not read the articles and memorandum of the company. Now later on it was found that company had never delegated their power to X. Held- plaintiff cannot take the remedy of the indoor management as they even don't that power could be delegated.
Forgery- The rule does not apply to the transaction involving forgery or illegal or transactions which are void ab initio. In the case of the forged transaction there is lack of consent. Here the question of consent cannot arise as the person whose signature is forged he is not even aware of the transaction.
In the case of Rouben v. Great Fingal Consolidated,– Here the secretary of the company forged the signature of two of the directors and issued the certificate without the authority. The issue of certificate requires the sign of two directors as given in the article. Held- here the holder of certificate cannot take the advantage of the doctrine as it was forged transaction which is void ab initio.
In the case of Kreditbank Cassel v. Schenkers Ltd,– a bill of exchange signed by the manger of a company with his own signature under the words stating that he signed on behalf of the company, was held to be forgery when the bill was drawn in favour of a payee to whom the manger was personally indebted. The bill in this case was held to be forged because it purported to be a different document from what it was in fact; it purported to be issued on behalf of the company in payment of its debt when in fact it was issued in payment of the manager's own debt.
Negligence- the doctrine of indoor management, in no way, rewards those who behave negligently. Thus, where an officer of a company does something which shall not ordinarily be within his authority, the person dealing with him must make proper enquiries and satisfy him as to the officer's authority. If he fails to make an enquiry, he is estopped from relying in the rule.
In the case of B. Anand Behari Lal v. Dinshaw & Co. (Bankers) Ltd.,an accountant of a company in favour of Anand Behari. On an action brought by him for breach of contract, the court held the transfer to be void. It was observed that the power of transferring immoveable property of the company could not be considered within the apparent authority of an accountant.
The doctrine will not apply where the question is in regard of to the very existence of an agency.
In the case of Varkey Souriar V. Leraleeya Banking Co. Ltd the Kerala High Court held that the doctrine of Indoor management cannot apply where the question is not one as to scope of the power exercised by an apparent agent of a company but is in regard to the very existence of the agency.
This doctrine is also not applicable where a pre-condition is required to be fulfilled before company itself can exercise a particular power. In other words, the act done is not merely ultra vires the directors/officers but ultra vires the company itself.
How Indian judiciary has interpreted this doctrine
In the case of Lakshmi Ratan Cotton Mills Co. Ltd, v. J. K. Jute Mitts Co. Ltd,the company of plaintiff sued defendant's company for the total amount of Rs.1,50,000. The defendant company raised the argument that no such resolution sanctioning the loan was passed by the board of director, thus it is not binding on the company.
The court held that- "If it is found that the transaction of loan into which the creditor is entering is not barred by the charter of the company or its articles of association, and could be entered into on behalf of the company by the person negotiating it, then he is entitled to presume that all the formalities required in connection therewith have been complied with. If the transaction in question could be authorised by the passing of a resolution, such an act is a mere formality. A bona fide creditor, in the absence of any suspicious circumstances, is entitled to presume its existence. A transaction entered into by the borrowing company under such circumstances cannot be defeated merely on the ground that no such resolution was in fact passed. The passing of such a resolution is a mere matter of indoor or internal management and its absence, under such circumstances, cannot be used to defeat the just claim of a bona fide creditor. A creditor being an outsider or a third party and an innocent stranger is entitled to proceed on the assumption of its existence ; and is not expected to know what happens within the doors that are closed to him. Where the act is not ultra vires the statute or the company such a creditor would be entitled to assume the apparent or ostensible authority of the agent to be a real or genuine one. He could assume that such a person had the power to represent the company, and if he in fact advanced the money on such assumption, he would be protected by the doctrine of internal management."
In the case of Official Liquidator, Manasube & Co. (P.) Ltd. V. Commissioner of police,
It is expected from the person that he will read the article and memorandum when he enters into a contract with the company but it is highly unlikely that he will also check the legality, propriety and regularity of acts of directors.
In recent judgment Indian courts had broadened the scope of the doctrine. The object is still same, to protect the third party who acted in good faith with the company and is unaware of the internal management of the company.
Does the doctrine of indoor management apply to government authorities?
In the case of MRF Ltd. v. Manohar Parrikar the Supreme Court has first time analysed the doctrine of indoor management in some detail. The case is related to the public law but a reference was made to the doctrine of indoor management to draw an analogy.
In this case notification issued by State Government for granting rebate of 25 per cent in Tariff in respect of the power supply to the Low Tension and High Tension Industrial Consumers was rescinded by another Notification issued at instance of Ministry of Power – Legality of the notifications challenged on grounds that they were not issued in compliance with the requirements of Article 154 read with Article 166 of the Constitution of India and the Business Rules of the Government of state framed by the Governor. Decision taken at ministers level without submitting it to council of misters or chief minister without obtaining concurrence of finance department, and notifications issued pursuant to ministers decision, so it was held that it is not sustainable in law. A decision can be treated as the decision of the government only when decision satisfies requirements of with Rules of business framed under Art. 116(3)/77(3). Decision having financial implications, if taken by a minister without seeking concurrence of finance department as provided by with Rules of business, cannot be treated as decision of state government as a whole under article 154. So notifications issued pursuant to ministers decision so taken, are void ab initio and all actions consequent thereto are null and void
"Doctrine of indoor management is in direct contrast to doctrine of constructive notice which is essentially a presumption operating in favour of the company against the outsider. It prevents the outsider from alleging that he did not know the constitution of the company rendered a particular delegation of authority ultra-vires. Doctrine of indoor management is an exception to rule of constructive notice. It imposes an important limitation on doctrine of constructive notice. According to this doctrine, persons dealing with company are entitled to presume that internal requirements prescribed in the memorandum and articles have been properly observed. Therefore, doctrine of indoor management protects outsiders dealing with the company, whereas doctrine of constructive notice protects the insiders of a company or corporation against dealings with outsiders. However, suspicion of irregularity has been widely recognized as an exception to doctrine of indoor management. Protection of doctrine is not available where the circumstance surrounding are suspicious and therefore invite inquiry.
Applying the exception to the present scenario, there is sufficient doubt with regard to conduct of power minister in issuing notifications. Therefore there is a definite suspicion of irregularity which render doctrine of indoor management inapplicable to the present case"
Doctrine of indoor management is evolved as a reaction of the doctrine of constructive notice. It puts a Barr on the doctrine of constructive notice and it protects the third party who acted in the act in the good faith. This doctrine protects outsiders dealing or contracting with a company, It was analyzed that the doctrine does not operate in arbitrary manner, there are some restriction imposed on it like forgery, third party having knowledge of irregularity, negligence, where third party don't read memorandum and articles and the doctrine will not apply where the question is regard of to the very existence of the company. Act done by governmental authorities in the course of their activities comes under the doctrine of indoor management. In the case of MRF Ltd. v. Manohar Parrikar the doctrine of indoor management does not apply on state of Goa because of the fact that there was an internal irregularity which should be taken care of and it is one of the exceptions of the doctrine.

In the time of World War I, the first production was ceased but continued in the early 20s. The magazine Domus printed the modern products several times in 1930. Two years later the factory worked together with the artist Dino Martens, who designed the most interesting objects of the company, which are in total contrast to his works in the 50s.
The painter Mario Deluigi collaborated also with the factory under the pseudonym Guido Bin. He presented a series of yellow vases with fused mosaics and figurative decorations at the Biennial of 1932. The production was limited to a few objects, because the production was very expensive.
After the Second World War, the manufacture showed the mosaics at the Biennale every year. In 1958, collaboration occurred with Luciano Gaspari and Romano Chirivi. The factory won a price with these objects at the International Universal Exhibition in Brussels and another one called Compasso dOro for industrial design in 1962 with a series of monochrome works, which Sergio Asti had designed.
In the 70s, the factory worked with outside artists, e.g. Claire Falkenstein, Ward Bennet and Teff Sarzin. Objects of Salviati & C. can be seen in the MuseeŽ du Verre in Liege, France, in the Kestner Museum in Hannover, Germany, in the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in the Corning Museum of Art, New York, America and the Museum Harretz in Tel Aviv, Israel. In the 80s, the Camerino family sold the factory to an Italian financial group.

Shiseido has long been a leading developer of cosmetics solutions for wrinkles and sagging skin that accompany aging. This page presents some of Shiseido's important achievements in several fields, from research findings we have made over our long history, to research with cutting-edge instruments that has yielded exciting new discoveries.
Wrinkles and sags are formed on our skin during aging. Shiseido has taken many different approaches to find out why. You probably know that hyaluronic acid helps the skin retain moisture. Shiseido discovered that vitamin A both promotes hyaluronic acid synthesis and reduces wrinkles. We intend to clarify why skin fibers such as collagen and elastic fibers are damaged by chronical exposure to ultraviolet light and other stressors. Our results help to create useful ingredients for age-related changes to the skin.
Even though elastic fibers constitute only 2% of the skin, they give the skin its elasticity. Shiseido developed a technique to visualize elastic fibers in three dimensions with an electron microscope and found that aging also decrease synthesis of fibrin 5, a protein critical to elastic fiber formation. Shiseido developed an extract of the seeds of the winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus), a perennial legume, to promote synthesis of fibrin 5 and elastic fibers.
Skin tone concerns can be solved only through dedicated and continuous basic research on the skin pigmentation and development of safe and effective ingredients at a high standard.
Shiseido conducts consistent basic research at the molecular level with cutting-edge instruments to satisfy consumers with effective ingredients.
Our advanced high-throughput ingredient search system allows us to develop prominent ingredients. Shiseido is particularly skilled at developing beneficial plant extracts contributing to our new products.
Shiseido made several key findings about characteristic damage associated with dark spots to provide solutions for skin tone concerns.
We found that low-level inflammation is responsible for increased melanin production in dark spots.
We used gene expression profile analysis to show that dark spots feature abnormal expression of genes related to keratinization in addition to melanin production.
We also found that basal cells containing melanin are unable to divide as rapidly as normal basal cells in dark spots' skin, and due to reduced skin turnover, cause excessive melanin accumulation.
Tranexamic acid suppresses melanocyte activity in areas of chronic slight inflammation in dark spots. The ingredient works differently from other ingredients that act directly on melanocytes.
The ingredient 4MSK inhibits the activity of the enzyme tyrosinase, which is needed for melanin production. Shiseido holds patents on 4MSK in countries and regions such as Japan, the United States, Europe, South Korea, and Taiwan, and formulates 4MSK for use in cosmetics as our most recently developed ingredient.
Research by Shiseido showed that activity of the enzyme UPA (or urokinase) in the stratum corneum causes skin roughness that is commonly seen in many people.
With this knowledge, we developed Sebraen (a methyl amide derivative of t-cycloaminoic acid), a highly effective inhibitor of UPA activity. Shiseido holds patents on Sebraen in countries and regions such as Japan, the United States, Europe, South Korea, and Taiwan, and formulates the ingredient for use in cosmetics for preventing rough skin.
Shiseido demonstrated for the first time that an increase in the "bad" protein, serpin b3, damages the skin barrier that protects the skin from the outside environment.
Shiseido developed the amino acid derivative 1-piperidinepropionic acid (1PP), serpin b3 inhibitor, and formulated this ingredient for use in cosmetics for women with skin problems around the world.

Aboriginal Self-Government in Canada Essay
The question that is brought up is not that of sex, but it is that of aboriginals in Canada. The question that is asked is should there be an aboriginal self-government? If the government were to go ahead and give the natives there own government they would be losing money and would most likely have angry taxpayers after their asses for the rest of there sorry political lives. The government would also have to deal with a swarm of Quebecans that would be harassing them because of their decision to give the natives their own government, because of their 1995 appeal to separate from Canada. The Quebecans would believe that if the natives get what they want, they should also get what they want.
That would mean that Quebec would separate from Canada and create their own nation. However, if the government refrained from processing the natives request of obtaining a self-government, the government would be saving a lot of money and would also be treating everyone in Canada as equals and not just giving what they want because they have different color skin or different ethnic origins. Issues brought up on creating an aboriginal self-government are very important in the future of the Canadian government. I feel that if the government created self-government for the natives, the government would be spending too much money. The decision would cause the natives to become way too greedy. And also that there is probably a little racism going on amongst the government.To carry on, givin...
Essay on Aboriginal Self Government For Aboriginal People
- Aboriginals have lived various types of lives and in attempt to improve the lives of Canada's Aboriginal people formed the Aboriginal self-government. Developing self-government for aboriginal peoples living in urban areas was not easy. The form of self-government varied across the country depending on the factors in each area or region. Some cities had existing aboriginal organizations providing a good basis upon which to build which made the self-government an easier thing to make. Despite the many challenges, self-government for aboriginal peoples living in urban areas is a concept that can be realized and can contribute to meeting the needs and aspirations of Canada's Aboriginal peoples....

The Jicarilla War began in 1849[1] and was fought between the Jicarilla Apaches and the United States Army in the New Mexico Territory. Ute warriors also played a significant role in the conflict as they were allied with the Jicarillas. The war started when the Apaches and Utes began raiding against settlers on the Santa Fe Trail. Eventually, in 1853, the American army retaliated which resulted in a series of battles and campaigns that ended in 1854 when a large military expedition managed to quell most of the violence. However, some minor skirmishing continued into 1855.[2][3]
War[edit]
Dolores Gunnerson argues that "the Jicarillas would have transferred their allegiance to the Americans and served them as faithfully as they had served the Spaniards if the Anglos had been willing to accept them as "friends" and allies." She further states that "the Jicarilla were at war with the United States for only a year and a half and spent nearly all that period eluding the troops rather than fighting." [4]
The war began in 1849 when a wagon of settlers was killed by a band of Jicarillas and Utes. The event, sometimes referred to as the White Massacre received considerable publicity at the time and did much to prejudice the Anglo population against the tribe. A year later a group of mail carriers were killed in what is called the Wagon Mound Massacre. Various incidents in the next half decade would raise the tensions between the Americans and the Jicarillas, leading both sides to increasingly mistrust the other until the winter of 1853 to 1854 when the army began operations.[1]
In February 1854 a government beef contractor employed by the government, New Mexico reported to the army that several of his cattle had been stolen by the Jicarillas so in response, a troop of dragoons from the 2nd Dragoons were sent to retrieve the stolen property. On March 5, Lieutenant Bell encountered a group of warriors under Chief Lobo Blanco, out on the Canadian River. It was uncertain whether Lobo Blanco and his followers were responsible for the stolen property but the army had long suspected Lobo Blanco's band of killing white and Hispanic settlers. A battle then ensued which left the chief and four of his warriors dead while the Americans lost two men. On the next day, the conflict escalated when a band of Jicarillas and Utes raided a herd of cattle near Fort Union, killing two herdsmen in the process. After that the United States Army 1st Dragoons launched an expedition into Apacheria. The first engagement was fought on March 30 when First Lieutenant John Davidson's launched an unauthorized attack on a Jicarilla village near the present day Pilar, New Mexico.[5]
In the subsequent Battle of Cieneguilla, sixty American cavalrymen fought an estimated 250 Apaches and Ute warriors under the war chief Flechas Rayada. Fighting began at around 8:00 am and lasted for over three hours, by the end of which, twenty-two soldiers were killed and another thirty-six were wounded. Davidson's command was forced to retreat having inflicted about twenty deaths on the native force. A week later, on April 8, a large force of about 200 American cavalrymen, 100 men of the 3rd Infantry, and thirty-two scouts, found the Jicarillas of Chief Chacon in Ojo Caliente Canyon. During the battle that followed, commander Philip St. George Cooke defeated about 150 warriors, killing five of them and wounding six others without sustaining any casualties to his own command. The Jicarillas where dispersed at that point and without a camp many of them died in the extreme cold weather. The battle was also notable for having involved Kit Carson, who guided the American army during the expedition, and First Lieutenant George Sykes, who later commanded the V Corps, Army of the Potomac in the American Civil War. After the Ojo Caliente battle the war was mostly over with the exception of a few smaller raids and skirmishes over the next several months.[6][7]

Charles & David Koch on Morning Joe, Talking Capitalism, Politics, & More
Charles Koch on reforming US drug laws
Libertarian billionaire Charles Koch is appearing on MSNBC's Morning Joe this morning, joined by his his brother David (a trustee of Reason Foundation, the nonprofit that publishes this website).
MSNBC is rolling out clips at the Morning Joe site quickly. The clip above has Charles discussing the need to change drug laws and reform criminal justice. Other segments include his interest in ending cronyism and corporate welfare, David's philanthropy and run for vice president on the 1980 Libertarian Party ticket, and how George W. Bush's failed presidency (big spending, profligate regulations, awful foreign policy) goaded the brothers into the political arena. Charles at one point says our "foreign policy is insanity" in that we keep doing the same thing (interventions, propping up tyrants) and expect different outcomes.
Charles Koch has a new book out, Good Profit: How creating value for others built one of the world's most successful companies, which is the prompt for the interview.
In 2014, Reason interviewed, Mother Jones' Daniel Schulman, the author of Sons of Wichita, a biography of the brothers that was surprisingly even-handed and even sympathetic. Watch that here:

I never knew much about the Kochs, so I didn't have much of an opinion about them. But having seen Charles in some interviews recently about his book, I really like him. He articulates libertarian ideas very well and in a way that seems reasonably palatable to people who aren't already true believers. I thought he was particularly good at explaining why the things he supports are not just for the benefit of big business (and often aren't to the benefit of big business), and how they can help the poor and middle classes.

I'VE always been somewhat cynical, even as a child. I can't, for example, ever remember believing in Father Christmas. I knew all about a big kindly man carrying a sack - but that was my dad with a bag of horse feed over his shoulder.
So when we were told, back in 2005, that relaxing the licensing laws would turn us all into continental clones, embracing cafe culture by nibbling on garlic-soaked escargots while sipping our pastis, I said: "Fiddle-les-sticks," or words to that effect.
A glance at any tabloid newspaper will show you the effect drinking copious amounts of lager and tequila slammers has on certain Brits - and it sure doesn't encourage them to drag on a Gauloise while sitting under bistro-style stripy umbrellas on the pavement.
It's more throwing up in the ashtray, then using the umbrellas to inflict some awful injury on the nether regions of someone who is, like them, wearing Union Jack underpants but is wearing a football shirt of a rival team.
After all, we already have experience of that European-style cafe culture on our frequent trips to Costa Del Vomita. And do we sip decorously on our Sangria on a Spanish promenade? Do we buggery. We start drinking ourselves into a stupor on the plane and don't stop until we've marinated our livers in alcohol for two weeks. Then we stumble back to the plane, neck a few more drinks while up in the air before touching down on the grey tarmac under the grey skies of dear old Britain.
The government hoped the new laws would prevent hordes of drunken youths pouring onto the streets at 11pm every evening when the pubs kicked out. So news that lager-fuelled louts are now reeling about our streets all night long, getting into fights, trashing everything they stagger into contact with and throwing up in any handy receptacle, comes as no surprise.
Tsk, tsk. The youth of today. Why can't they be more like me? I have embraced the café culture with gusto. Now instead of sitting around the table with a nice cup of tea, my friends and I pour ourselves a large red wine, argue about anything and everything, eat too much and then stagger off home for a nice siesta.
These lager louts remind me of the elephant population in Southern Africa. To cull or not to cull is the question. A sniper on top of every multi-story car park should keep the herd in check.
and that is precisely what i love about cafe culture!
we can only have cafe culture between june and august. before that, or after, you would freeze to your chair.
The airwaves have been full of discussion about this very topic over the last few days.
I reckon it's going to take more than just a few years to effect a culture change.
I'd bring back the public stocks.
Thinking back to my own misspent youth ... I wondered why we never did anything too dreadful and came to the conclusion that not only could we not afford to get puking drunk, we were far too terrified of our parents' reaction to risk it.
Made one of my occasional visits to your blog, and Hurrah! you're back!
Drinking - been there, done that, turned tee-total.
I remember DS lessons at school, too - cakes like bits of geology, and a "summer soup" that went straight down the loo! Really learned to cook when I had to produce meals for husband and self.
I laughed when I heard this story on the news this morning. "News" indeed. How was this ever news to anyone? Surely even the most downtrodden sociologist could have told the politicians that Brits will drink in Britain as they already do abroad. It's hardly rocket science, or politics...come to that.
I'm all for the age of consent being raised back to 21 for drinking, smoking, voting and of course it would have to include fighting for your country. Speaking of fighting for your country I wouldn't be against reintroducing national service for anyone over the age of 18 who was living on the dole!
The cafés here in the Netherlands stay open until 3 am, I think, but we do have those awful drunk young people in some of the bigger cities also.
In Belgium the cafés don't close at all, but I don't know what sort of problems with drunken youth they have.
It's all in the culture, I suppose, and what we as parents decide is acceptable when our youngsters grow up.
Here they are thinking about raising the minimum drinking age from 16 to 18, but children as young as 12 or 13 drink regularly on the weekends and the parents often know about it and allow it.
Being a reformed drinker, I say ban it all! If teetotalism is good enough for me, it's good enough for the yob on the street.
Bring back prohibition! That never did anyone any harm, did it?
Oh. Well. Apart from all that crime and black marketeering and gangstery stuff.
It's so lovely to have you back! I missed my weekly (ish!) dose of laughter.
I love 'Costa del vomita'! Great post Kitchen table. I hear now they're thinking of raising the price of alcopops (and wine - how dare they) to put off the dipso youth. They said on the news that kids UNDER 8 (for god's sake!!) were being admitted to hospital for drink related ailments. I thoroughly blame the greedy drink companies for deliberately targetting young drinkers with alcopops that taste like soft drinks.
Can I come with you on your next trip to Costa Del Vomita? Ah, those good old vomiting into ashtray days (mind you, they must have been bigger where you were, volume was always an issue for me).
Great, you are blogging again! Welcome back.


Visit Azerbaijan with Deira Travel's Baku tour packages from Dubai with 04 nights / 05 days package from Dubai, UAE including 4 star hotel Austin Boutique Hotel, economy class flydubai tickets, airport transfers, sightseeing at Dhs 2450 per person.
The beautiful mountainous province of Azerbaijan, once a part of the former Soviet Republic, lies in the Caspian Sea between Russia and Iran, and shares its borders with Armenia and Georgia to the west. The autonomous republic of Nakhchivan falls between Iran and Armenia with a small border with Turkey. Amazingly, only 7% of the entire region is arable land, with the Kura River Valley being the prominent agricultural zone.
Previously known as Caucasian Albania during ancient times, Northern Azerbaijan was full of conflicts between the Arabs, Turks and the Kazars in the olden days. The Turks dominated the region after the 11th century and thereafter the region became a stronghold of the Shiite Muslims. In 1813, the territory of Soviet Russia was acquired by Russia from Persia following the Treaty of Gulistan and the Treaty of Turkamanchai in 1828. The territory declared independence in 1918 after the Bolshevik Revolution, and Azerbaijan was declared independent in 1991 following the decline of the Soviet Union. The country follows a constitutional republic political framework and the executive powers of the state lies in the hands of the President.
The predominant and the official religion of Azerbaijan is Islam with more than 95% followers of the religion. The Russian Orthodox constitutes a minor 3% of believers, while the other independent beliefs are less than 2%. The official language of the state is Azerbaijani or Azeri, which is spoken by more than 90% of the citizens, while Russian is spoken by a meagre 2.5% of the population, followed by other minor dialects. The climate in Azerbaijan is temperate throughout the year.


The caves were cool and lit by bioluminescent fungi; the perfect hiding place for a mad vampire and his thralls. Viatryx shed her cloak at the entrance and sloshed as quietly as she could into the relative darkness. It was comforting after spending the day out in the sunlight, but night was approaching and she could feel some of her strength returning. Atticus, she knew would be awake soon. They had come too late to catch him sleeping. The petite sorceress cast a small mage light above her shoulder, using it to get a better view of her surroundings. If she had had any questions about where or how to find her quarry, the old, tainted whisper of dark magic beckoning her onward dispelled those concerns. Darius was right—it was probably a trap. Setting her jaw against the hazy brush of fear, and the sharper pang of hunger Viatryx pressed on with her feet just barely pushing off the floor of the cave. She made it to a spot where she could climb out of the water, and crouched in the utter silence for several moments. Water dripped from a stalactite and echoed as it plopped into a pool—sounding as if it were coming from everywhere all at once.
A chill of unease tickled down her spine as the sorceress abandoned her careful creeping and began to run softly through the narrow, rocky corridors. Abandoning her magelight, she trusted her footing and the hazy darkness that closed around her like a second best blanket. Deeper in the cave system she found an open space lit by the warm glow of tallow candles, and filled with those whose voices she heard raised in song. The scene was something macabre, women, children and men—more than Viatryx had thought all singing the rhyming song over and over. As her eyes adjusted she realized that each of them were carrying a small dagger.
"I can't imagine why," Viatryx muttered, trying to smile. "No. I'm afraid your vintage just won't do for me. Actually, I was looking for some wayward mage apprentices. I don't suppose you supped on them, did you?" Viatryx asked casually as she noted that now Atticus's dinner for the evening were collectively on their fifth recant of the song. There had to be a way to stop this and break his hold on them.
"I did, poor things." Atticus shook his head mournfully, "I wanted to give one or two of them my gift, but they cursed me and invoked Arkay. Can you imagine the insult? Child, you really look as if you could use a good meal. Please—join me." He held a hand out to her, all charm and fatherly kindness, but Viatryx could only shake her head. She clenched her fists at her sides—feeling the stirrings of longing and desire twist with the hunger already knotting her gut. She could not feed on these people, but how could she refuse such an honored invitation? Her body shuddered—this contest of wills risked breaking her, except that just for a moment she thought she saw a flaw in the elder vampire's attack. While he was struggling with Viatryx, his control over the remaining travelers seemed to be waning.
"Why this song?" She asked, feigning curiosity and masking dread. He was powerful enough to catch her if she misread the situation even the slightest bit. Perhaps, had he known her weakness, the sorceress would have had no chance at all, but Viatryx was careful to keep that information from almost all who knew her true nature. Instead as she waited for his response, she began forming the spell she needed at the forefront of her mind. She would need to be quick.
"Why? Because it marks the end!" Atticus exclaimed, gesturing animatedly. Viatryx raised two fingers before her nose and blew out—a marble of energy that soon became a globe spiraled away on her breath. It landed on the cave floor—stunning Atticus's prey and forcing them to drop the implements of their deaths as it expanded. More importantly, it broke the old vampire's hold on the humans. Staff in her right hand, Viatryx snatched a candle in the other.
"RUN!" She yelled so that the cavern was filled with her voice, and hurled the candle at Atticus's clothing—it was quicker than a fire spell, and unexpected. "Get out of here! Take the left tunnel and look—"If Atticus had not expected her attack before, he did not give her another opportunity for surprise. His backhand sent the sorceress reeling across the cave floor as his shrieks drowned out the last echo of her command to the humans now fleeing doggedly away from the two vampires' combat. Viatryx shook herself, pushing off the floor as a fireball landed where she had been laying and pooled out to threaten the hem of her robes. The saving grace was that her clothing was too waterlogged to catch fire, but the same could not be said of flesh or hair.
Viatryx answered fire with lightning, hurling a crackling wall of the stuff at Atticus. It bathed him in blue light, and left him quivering with burnt patches on his face, his chest and scalp. For the barest instant, Viatryx experienced genuine terror. Atticus did not collapse or crumble, but instead he moved toward her with unnatural speed; still burning. He launched himself at the sorceress, knocking the small woman to the ground—pinning her under his burning bulk. Agony blinded Viatryx for several moments as the water saturating her clothing heated; she almost would have rather burned cleanly in the fire itself.
"You gave away my dinner!" The creature giggled as and licked the side of Viatryx's neck. The last of the flames licking at his form died away. "I suppose I'll just have to eat you. Mmm. Never had your sort before. You smell weak, and you taste like overripe regrets and bitter dreams. Best we cook you!" The floor underneath Viatryx was suddenly alive with flame—cold blue flames, and she screamed as the magic seared through her robes and ate at her back. When she tried to escape, she found she could not. She was pinned inside the fire by nothing she could see, writhing in agony while Atticus hummed the ditty he had forced on his human prey earlier.
"I'm not singing for you," Viatryx panted as his words struck something in her panic. What was real was real, and what was not was not. It sounded like Mad Cheese God logic to her. She decided to try it; fighting to disbelieve the magic holding her hostage. An instant later, she could wiggle a finger, and in another instant she could wiggle a toe. While Atticus waited for her to give in—for the pain was still very real, she worked her way free of the snare. Pain would not destroy her, and so she could endure. The burns she suspected to decorate her chest—those were real too. But the blue flames ate away at nothing else, and under its glow she began pushing a vision of something else. It was her own rune—something derived from erupting volcanoes and angry fire magic. It took shape while Atticus busied himself with some activity that took him outside the realm of her limited vision.
"Oh, I'll bet you have a lovely singing voice! If you sing, perhaps we can even be friends!" Atticus offered coyly as he stopped just outside her line of sight. Viatryx stared where she thought he might be, remembering she should not be able to move.
"I can't project from here. Help me up and I'll sing…you can take what you will of me," She panted—praying to Julianos and even Stendarr that he took her bait a second time. Atticus took a long time to decide he wanted to hear her sing. Eventually he reappeared at the edge of her vision, a coy half-smile in place. The elder vampire stepped into his conjured blue flames, and knelt beside her. Viatryx noticed that he had changed into the robes of an Imperial Statesman, but his burns still remained. The pain blurring her eyes with bloody tears made it hard to tell what House the sigil on his shoulder represented, and she decided it might be better not to know. He brushed a hand over her smarting forehead, and then curved an arm under her shoulders—helping her sit up against him.
"There now, that was not so terrible, was it? Sing for me." He demanded, stroking a hand through her slightly singed hair where it had fallen free of its already messy bun. Viatryx sucked in an unnecessary and shaking breath, and began to sing in a reedy contralto. She remembered the song now. It was called Six are the Walking Ways. She braced herself for the final refrain.
"By the sword I mean a sigh…by the word I mean…the end." Viatryx did two things simultaneously as she sang the end of the rhyme—dragging herself to the edge of existence to do so. As the volcano rune flared up in a rush of true heat, Viatryx willed her body to turn into mists. The hazy cloud of mist that was Viatryx fled the fiery rune of death she had superimposed over Atticus's snare—rematerializing a short distance away. Atticus was screaming again, and burning. Viatryx flung more fuel on the blaze—candles and shattered wood bits until there was only ash and bone. She burned the idol too when Atticus's screaming continued to echo in her ears. When there was nothing but smoke, wood death, and brittle bone, she used the end of her staff to begin smashing it all into unrecognizable dust. That was how Mediea and Darius found her; grinding what was left of the mad elder vampire into a fine dust with the end of her staff.

One fine day a few years ago there was a knock on my door and I opened it to a FedEx delivery man, a commonplace event in the US, but in Britain a rare event indeed, and I was intrigued by it. The plastic envelope gave me no clue except that on the customs declaration it said "scrapbook". It seemed a bit bulky for a normal scrapbook, and I opened it carefully and with huge anticipation.
Inside, a leather-bound volume. It was indeed a scrapbook, but an old one, in poor condition. The gold-tooled leather binding was scuffed at the corners, and very fragile. The card which accompanied it was from Ned Crouch, director of the Clarksville Museum at the time of my first visit there. "This scrapbook really should remain with you" it said. The flyleaf bore an extravagant signature: "Maude T Dunn". It was the Dunn family photograph album. Its pages are full of sepia-toned prints of the young family, mostly of the baby Elsie during the first years of her life, with an equal number of shots of railway lines and railway bridges (Seely was, after all, a railway man).
Many of the images are so faded as to be indistinguishable. In 1883, Eastman Kodak introduced a dry gel paper as a medium on which to capture images from a light-tight box, and the Eastman-Kodak camera brought photography to a larger public. In 1893, when Maude Dunn was taking pictures of her baby daughter and young husband, the process had been refined and the Kodak camera was being marketed with the slogan "You push the button, we do the rest". Even so, photography was an expensive hobby, and the number of snaps in the scrapbook bears testimony to the relative prosperity of the Dunn family.
Next week, we shall take up the story at the point at which Elsie Dunn and Frederick Creighton Wellman leave New Orleans for the next chapter in their lives.

Q: Static method recursion, by wrapping root-methods I am looking for a way to have a class with top-level static methods, (eg. mkdir, readFile), then add a static get prefix, that is a anonymous class that inherits the parent. What I'd like in this example, is for FileSystem.stat and a FileSystem.suppress.stat one that behaves async, and one won't throw if there's no file existing.
function asyncSupress (fn) {
  return async (...args) => {
    try {
      const res = await fn(...args)
      return res
    } catch (e) {
      return null
    }
  }
}

export class FileSystem {
  static wrap: any = promisify
  static mkdir = FileSystem.wrap(nodeFs.mkdir)
  static writeFile = FileSystem.wrap(nodeFs.writeFile)
  static readFile = FileSystem.wrap(nodeFs.readFile)
  static stat = FileSystem.wrap(nodeFs.stat)
  static readdir = FileSystem.wrap(nodeFs.readdir)

  static get suppress() {
    return class extends FileSystem {
      static wrap = (fn) => asyncSupress(promisify(fn))
    }
  }

}

This isn't working as I'd like because FileSystem.wrap isn't this.wrap.
Is there any way to get this to work as I'd expect?

Trump's national security pick outed gay brother dying of AIDS to their parents
KT McFarland is the latest Trump appointment to cause concern for the LGBTQ community.

Donald Trump has selected Kathleen Troia "KT" McFarland as deputy national security adviser, who outed her gay brother while he was dying due complications related to AIDS to her parents, as well as accusing her father of abuse the rest of her family denies.
"I am proud that KT has once again decided to serve our country and join my national security team," Trump said in a statement on Friday. "She has tremendous experience and innate talent that will complement the fantastic team we are assembling, which is crucial because nothing is more important than keeping our people safe."
McFarland last served as a Pentagon official in the Reagan administration. She currently works as a Fox News commentator and sits on the board of the Washington, D.C.-based research and analysis institute the Jamestown Foundation.
McFarland ran unsuccessfully to unseat Hillary Clinton in the U.S. Senate in 2006. A profile by The New York Times that year explored some painful familial territory. Namely, her gay brother, whose sexual orientation she would not accept.
The Times discovered a letter McFarland wrote to her parents in 1992 where she reportedly outed her brother, Michael, and blamed her father for his present state in life.
"Have you ever wondered why I have never had anything to do with Mike and have never let my daughters see him although we live only fifteen minutes away from each other?" McFarland wrote in the letter. "He has been a lifelong homosexual, most of his relationships brief, fleeting one-night stands."
When asked about her brother in the profile she simply said, "Ummmm. He was sick and then he died."
When news of the letter went public after the piece in The Times, and with advisers reportedly concerned she would appear homophobic, McFarland attempted to explain the situation further, alleging abuse from her father.
"In seeking to put a painful past behind me, I wrote two candid letters to my parents in 1992 at the advice of a counselor. Now, in the midst of a political campaign, those letters have found their way into the hands of a magazine reporter," she said in a statement. She also granted another interview with The Times.
She said her father had whipped her with belts, starting at age two, as well as her brother, and that he had waved a gun in her face and threatened to kill the family.
She admitted to cutting her brother out of her life when she learned he was HIV-positive, and keeping her children from him, but adding that she loved him and regretted not spending more time with him.
"But I was increasingly concerned because he talked about a very promiscuous lifestyle. And it saddened me a great deal," she said."
Her parents deny the allegations of abuse, and her other brother, although he does acknowledge they were spanked, also says her recounting of the situation was inaccurate. He called the spanking they received in line with the norms of the time.
He also had some harsh words for his sister.
"If I had one word to describe my sister, it would be 'evil,'" he told the New York Post.
When contacted by the Washington Blade, the Trump transition team had no comment as to whether McFarland's "views on gay people have changed or whether the president-elect is OK with the way she treated her brother." McFarland also did not return a request for comment from the publication.
They also note that her relationship with her brother is not the only controversial issue in her past:
At the time of her Senate bid, the New York Post reported McFarland maintained two voting addresses in the period between 1996 to 2006, which could be a felony. Additionally, McFarland claimed helicopters were flying over her home taking pictures and were sent by Clinton because she was so worried about the challenge to her seat, although McFarland later said she was joking.
As a Defense Department official, McFarland also was accused of exaggerating her contribution to President Reagan's "Star Wars" speech and her claims of being the highest-ranking woman in Reagan's Pentagon. The latter was demonstrably not true because there were two other women with ranks higher than hers.
While the Log Cabin Republicans noted their opposition to outing, they threw their support behind McFarland.
"Log Cabin Republicans opposes outing, and always has," Angelo said. "Beyond that, family matters should be left to families to work out. All I can say is that my interactions with KT over the years — and there have been many, from my time as chairman of Log Cabin Republicans of New York State to CPAC to today — have always shown me KT supports a big-tent approach to politics."
The group had failed to endorse Trump during the election because of he had chosen to surround himself with anti-LGBTQ advisers, such as his running mate Mike Pence.
McFarland joins other members of the cabinet who have concerning histories when it comes to LGBTQ rights.
Senior fellow at the Family Research Council Ken Blackwell, a man who has said homosexuality is a lifestyle choice that can be changed, was named to the transition team.
His pick for Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos, headed the effort to amend Michigan's constitution to ban same-sex marriage, along with her husband Richard, Raw Story reports. The couple gave $200,000 to the campaign.
Sen. Jeff Sessions, who has been named Attorney General, voted for a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage and against hate crime legislation and has received a zero rating from the Human Rights Campaign.
Trump's chief strategist Steve Bannon, meanwhile, has called progressive women "a bunch of dykes" and oversaw Breitbart while it was publishing anti-LGBTQ articles.

Just like this exhibition, DS explores the future by drawing inspiration from its past, an exceptional heritage.
The exhibition Une brève histoire de l'avenir a major event in the autumn schedule of Le Louvre is inspired by the book of the same name by Jacques Attali*, which ponders the major invariables in the history of humanity as an invitation to imagine what the world might look like in 2050.
Under its partnership with the Louvre Museum in Paris, DS is sponsoring Une brève histoire de l'avenir, an exhibition open to the public through till 4 January 2016.
Le Louvre hosts some of the world's most exceptional art collections and has been a major protagonist on the French cultural scene for more than two hundred years, enjoying an outstanding worldwide reputation for excellence and consistently offering the public some truly outstanding events. Its latest, eminently avant garde, exhibition — Une brève histoire de l'avenir — invites visitors on a "present-day journey that examines the past to enlighten our view of the future".
Throughout the exhibition, with its two hundred exhibits, a dialogue emerges between figurehead works from the past and contemporary artistic creation, to present a theme-guided chronological appraisal of the major phases undergone by society over the ages and the gradual development of the way people are today.
"We're very happy to be partnering the Louvre Museum on this exhibition, which blends heritage with avant-garde, and classical with modern culture. Like DS, Le Louvre opens to constant renewal, seeking surprise and delight with its sights set squarely on tomorrow," notes DS chief Yves Bonnefont.
Just like this exhibition, DS explores the future by drawing inspiration from its past, an exceptional heritage. Two key dates illustrate this avant garde outlook: 1955 and 2015.
1955 saw birth of the DS, a car that revolutionized the automotive landscape of its epoch. DS holds an important place in the stories of many French people and it championed French engineering excellence throughout the world. Sixty years it enjoys unparalleled status as an automotive design legend.
2015: history continues with launch of the French automotive brand DS, which develops by drawing from the heritage handed down by the original DS.
Innovation, excellence and avant-garde are the keywords, and the values that guide DS in its approach to the future.

What Is the Difference between Revenue and Sales?
By Sean Ross
Revenue is the total income generated by the sale of goods or services related to the company's core operations.
Revenue is often referred to as the "top line" because it sits at the top of the income statement.
Revenue is the income a company generates before any expenses are subtracted from the calculation.
A company reporting "top-line growth" is thus experiencing an increase in gross sales or revenue.
In comparison, sales are the proceeds a company generates from selling goods or services to its customers:
In accounting terms, sales comprise one component of a company's revenue figure.
On an income statement, sales are typically referred to as "gross sales."
A company may also report "net sales," which is the result of subtracting any returned merchandise from gross sales. Retail companies tend to report net sales as well as revenue.
Revenue is referred to as the "top line" number since it sits at the top of the income statement.
Sales are the proceeds a company generates from selling goods or services to its customers.
Companies may post revenue that's higher than the sales-only figures, given the supplementary income sources.
Understanding How Sales and Revenue Can Differ
Some companies inaccurately use the term "sales" and "revenue" interchangeably. However, while sales might be considered to be revenue, all revenue doesn't necessarily derive from sales. Consider the following financial data from Exxon Mobil Corporation's (XOM) income statement for the quarter ending June 30, 2019:
Sales and operating revenues were roughly $67.5 billion for June 2019 versus $71.5 billion for June 2018.
Total revenue was $69 billion for the quarter ending June 2019 and $73.5 billion for the same period in 2018.
However, there were income sources other than sales proceeds—from equity affiliates and other income–totaling more than $1.5 billion in 2019 and $2 billion in 2018.
OAs a result, companies may post revenue that's higher than the sales-only figures, given the supplementary income sources.
Example of Revenue from Exxon Mobil Income Statement June 2019. Investopedia
Non-Operating Revenue
Oil and gas companies commonly generate income from the sale of assets, during time periods when they're cash poor. Other non-operating revenue gains may come from occasional events, such as investment windfalls, money awarded through litigation, interest, royalties, fees, and donations. Regardless of the source, these sporadic gains indicate a company's total cash flow.
Sales Can Exceed Revenue
Sales may be defined as prices paid by customers, while revenue signals the overall money a business generates during a given time period. Although revenue is nearly always the larger figure, it may occasionally be smaller than sales.
Take, for example, a business that only sells hats, with no other inventory on its shelves. If the store's revenue formula deducts any discounted sales, returns or damaged merchandise, the company's gross sales could theoretically shake out to be larger than its revenue.
Government Revenue
Revenue can also be used to describe money a government collects from taxes, fees, fines, and publicly-operated services. However, while government agencies may sell goods or services, the proceeds from these activities are seldom referred to as "government sales."
Whether it's sales, gross sales, net sales, or revenue, it's critical to consider the industry in question, when analyzing a company's financial data. It's also important to distinguish between sales and revenue, because some revenue sources may be one-off events.

Understanding the Difference Between Revenue and Profit
Understanding Revenue
Revenue is the income generated from normal business operations.
Cash Flow From Operating Activities (CFO) Definition
Cash Flow From Operating Activities (CFO) indicates the amount of cash a company generates from its ongoing, regular business activities.
The Operating Ratio – OPEX Tells Investors About a Company Management
The operating ratio (OPEX) shows the efficiency of a company's management by comparing the total operating expense of a company to net sales. The operating ratio shows how efficient a company's management is at keeping costs low while generating revenue or sales.
Income Statement Definition
An income statement is one of the three major financial statements that reports a company's financial performance over a specific accounting period.
Why You Need to Know the Difference Between Gross and Net Sales
Gross sales is a metric for the overall sales of a company, unadjusted for costs incurred in generating those sales, as well as things like discounts or returns from customers. It's calculated with a simple equation, where all sales invoices or related invoices are totaled.
Definition Net Income (NI)
Net income, also called net earnings, is calculated as sales minus cost of goods sold, selling, general, and other expenses

With four sunny days in Seattle we knew we hit the weather jackpot with the timing of our trip. This was our first trip to Seattle and we were determined to make the most of it. Having consulted with a few friends who live in Seattle, we had our game plan lined up. We'd spent four days in the Seattle area hiking mountains, wandering the city, exploring islands and tasting the sweetest nectar that the Seattle wine region had to offer.
Mrs. Weekly Flyer and I planned this trip about two weeks prior to departure. I was in a different city on assignment so the plan was for Mrs. Weekly Flyer and I to meet in Atlanta and catch the same flight to Seattle. I had a $400 voucher that I could use for Mrs. Weekly Flyer's ticket and my ticket to Seattle was less than the cost to go home for the weekend. After I purchased our tickets I applied Delta's infamous system wide upgrades that I had received as part of Choice Benefits that guaranteed us two seats in First Class all the way to Seattle.
We checked in and had difficulty since we were departing from different cities. Fortunately, we were able to hand over the certificates and receive our boarding passes for the connecting flights. We met in Atlanta, grabbed a drink and headed off to board our plane and settle into seats 2 A and 2B for our long flight out to Seattle.
There was low cloud cover on approach and once we descended below it, we had a great view of Puget Sound on approach.
These were some of the last clouds we would see for days.
We picked up our rental car and headed to the W Seattle where we were upgraded to a Cool Corner Room based on my Platinum status with Starwood Preferred Guest. But this stay wasn't about the hotel. It was about seeing Seattle and the surrounding area.
We had a lot to do and a little time to do it. Getting a good vantage point from the Space Needle was just the start.
Using Delta's system wide upgrade certificates only cost us a little extra time to book the tickets and a few extra bucks to purchase an eligible fare class ticket. The best part was we got to fly Delta's First Class all the way to Seattle where the sun was waiting to show us some of what this area has to offer.

Rent a rowboat, wreck a relationship
At first glance, a romantic ride in a rowboat might seem like a pleasant activity for lovers. Lakes and ponds across Japan commonly offer boats for rent, making them popular spots for couples on a date. But beware: these ponds are often dogged by superstitions claiming that couples who venture out in the boats are doomed to break up after they return to shore.
Empty rowboats at Inokashira Park
One of the most notorious relationship-wrecking boat ponds is at Inokashira Park in western Tokyo. The pond is located next to a small shrine dedicated to Benzaiten, the goddess of all things that flow (including water, speech, music and money). According to local legend, the goddess has a vengeful jealous streak that compels her to split up the happy couples in the rowboats. However, it is said that Benzaiten spares those who pay a visit to the nearby shrine after their boat ride.
Another boat pond known for jinxing relationships is at Higashiyama Park in Nagoya. The superstition at this park appears to be linked to an old legend involving a dragon living in the pond. According to the old story, the dragon was able to fly high into the sky to fetch magical water that could wipe away a person's sad memories. The story has evidently mutated over time, and the water that once enabled people to forget their sadness now causes people to forget their relationships. Interestingly, the park has tried to make hay of the superstition by offering free boat rentals to courageous couples in February during the Valentine's season.
Similar superstitions haunt boat ponds nationwide, including Nakajima Park in Sapporo, Shinobazu Pond in Tokyo, Shakujii Park in Tokyo, Omiya Park in Saitama, Lake Senba in Mito, Maruyama Park in Kyoto, Takaraga-ike Park in Kyoto, Arashiyama near Kyoto, the pond at Okayama Castle (the swan boats), Tokiwa Park in Ube, Takinomiya Park in Niihama, and Ohori Park in Fukuoka (only dangerous if you pass under the bridge). Undoubtedly there are others.
Although these superstitious claims are not supported by evidence, they are enough to make some people think twice before jumping into a rowboat with their sweetheart.
[Note: This is the latest in a series of weekly posts on Japanese urban legends. Check back next week for more.]
I love this urban legend, but why are only the boats dangerous which lie behind the bridge in ohori park?
Fliss
I heard that any couple visiting Inokashira park is doomed, especially new couples.
Spurious Growth
This would seem to make it impossible for anyone to get a break in the rowboat industry. Are these municipally funded operations?

Camero Viejo, dans la comarque de Tierra de Cameros, (La Rioja - Espagne) se situe dans la région Rioja Media, dans une zone de Montagne.

Géographie
Une des sept vallées de La Rioja est celle de la rivière Leza. Comme toutes les vallées riojanes, elle a deux paysages très différents.

Dans la haute zone, l'eau de la rivière court foncée sur des pentes d'un lit rocheux. Dans la zone inférieure, atteignant déjà presque l'Ebre, elle va entre des collines et des terres d'alluvions.

Dans la partie montagneuse de la vallée du Leza est encaissé le légendaire Camero Viejo.

Camero Viejo bordé au Sud avec Soria, à l'Est avec la vallée du Cidacos et avec la vallée du Jubera, rivière qui reçoit le Leza comme affluent plus tard, près de l'Ebre. Par l'Ouest sa limite est la vallée de l'Iregua, bassin du Camero Nuevo.

Localités
Ajamil de Cameros (Larriba, Torremuña), Cabezón de Cameros, Hornillos de Cameros, Jalón de Cameros, Laguna de Cameros, Leza de Río Leza, Muro en Cameros, Rabanera, San Román de Cameros (Avellaneda, Montalvo en Cameros, Santa María en Cameros, Vadillos, Valdeosera, Velilla), Soto en Cameros (Luezas, Treguajantes, Trevijano), Terroba y Torre en Cameros.
