Cavanagh launches her 'Second Act' with thrift shop
By Sarah Mupo/The Daily Item
Claire Cavanagh may be technically retired after working for 40 years in City Hall, but she has already picked up a new job.
The 60-year-old lifelong Lynn resident recently opened the consignment store Claire's Second Act, a name that plays on the secondhand merchandise as well as her new career move.
Cavanagh said she took on the venture because she had, for some time, toyed with the idea of opening her own consignment shop.
"I had always said, someday, when I retire — which I can't imagine ever really being retired — someday I think I'd like to open a small little store," she said.
During her time at City Hall, Cavanagh served for five mayors, including being chief of staff to former mayor Patrick McManus and current Mayor Judy Flanagan Kennedy. She also simultaneously held a part-time job to support raising her three children on her own. After remarrying seven years ago to her husband, Mark, she gained four stepchildren, which also kept her life busy.

When Cavanagh left City Hall at the end of last May, she said she had to find something to fill her time because she was so used to working nonstop.
"Before long, honestly, I started getting antsy. … I found, all the sudden, even though I retired, it's not for me yet. Although I look it, I'm not ready for the rocking chair," she said.
Cavanagh said she volunteered at Union Hospital and at St. Pius V Parish last summer, while also serving as Gordon "Buzzy" Barton's campaign manager for last fall's Lynn City Council election.
The consignment store's 13 Boston St. location is familiar territory to Cavanagh, as it was Barton's campaign headquarters. After the election, she thought the space would transition well into the store she had wanted to open.
"It has great parking and great visibility, because every night at 5 o'clock, you'd have a ton of people in traffic," Cavanagh said.
The three-room store, which sells new and used men's and women's clothing and accessories, is decorated with Rat Pack paraphernalia because of Cavanagh's love for the group and as a joking nod to her "pack-rat friends."
Cavanagh said for those who want to sell items on consignment in her store, the profit will be split evenly. Once the merchandise is brought in and an agreement is made, Cavanagh said she will display it for 60 days, marking the merchandise down if it does not sell after 30 days.
"They have to trust my judgment that I'm going to price it. And I've told everybody who walks in the door, it's not a yard sale, but it's not a boutique. We're in Lynn, and it's going to be really reasonable," she said.
If the item does not sell after 60 days, Cavanagh said the owner can come to claim the item or allow Cavanagh to donate it.
The most expensive women's item will be $20, and the most expensive men's item will be $25, including suits, she said. However, Cavanagh said if she receives a high-end item, like a Louis Vuitton purse, she will respect an owner's request to price it above those limits. "I want people to walk out of here and say, 'Hey, I got a great dress for 10 bucks.' If they walk out of here saying, 'Hey, it's nice, but the prices aren't so hot,' they're not coming back," she said.
Cavanagh said she currently has 75 percent new clothing versus 25 percent used clothing in the store, and she plans to have promotions every day of the week, such as discounts for high school and college students or City Hall employees.
In addition to having hours seven days a week, Cavanagh said she offers customized appointments.
"If I can satisfy somebody that wants to come in and shop, I'll do it," she said. "If somebody wants to drop off, I'm pretty flexible with availability."
The store's initial inventory came from reaching out to friends and family, Cavanagh said, and plucking items from her own closet.
"As soon as I told people I was doing it, I couldn't believe the immediate bags of clothes I had dropped off," she said.
Cavanagh said her friends will also help out in staffing the store and possibly modeling the clothing outside the store when the weather is nice.
Cavanagh said the great aspect of opening a consignment shop was that most of the inventory was brought to her, and she is looking to see how the community will respond to the store.
"This is the next part of my life, and I hope it's successful," she said.
Claire's Second Act will be open Monday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Sunday from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, call 339-440-5356.

2021 Healthcare Entry-level Jobs in Corcoran, CA
Are you interested in finding entry-level jobs in healthcare? If so, a world of opportunity awaits you; there are many different jobs in healthcare, and it's just a matter of finding the one that matches your skills and your interests. You could become an audiologist and help people with their hearing, a nurse, a radiation therapist, a physician's assistant, or anything in between. These opportunities all start with healthcare entry-level jobs, however, so it's important to get started and to find your niche as soon as possible. You should be aware that, despite what you may have heard, all of the jobs in the healthcare industry are not highly paid ones. One of the lowest paying jobs in the industry, for example, is being a home health or personal care aide. With these jobs, you can expect to make only around $20,170 per year on average. While there's certainly nothing wrong with being a home health or personal care aide,—and indeed that's what you should become if you desire to help others take care of basic daily tasks related to their health and wellbeing— it's not a job to take if you're looking for a lucrative salary. Conversely, doctors and surgeons have some of the top paying healthcare jobs in the nation. They often make a salary of $166,400 per year or more! Of course, they have to go through a lot of training and hard work to land the positions they want, but most feel it is well worth it. No matter what job you end up picking, know that it's okay to consider salary when deciding upon a job, providing that your heart is in the right place and that money isn't the only thing affecting your choice.

Brad & Angie to Pax: You're Officially One of Us!
TMZ has learned Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have officially adopted little Pax Thien.
We've learned they went to L.A. County Children's Court in Monterey Park, Calif. yesterday and appeared before a judge who finalized Pax's adoption.
The adoption was a two-step process. First, the adoption had to be approved in Vietnam, where Pax was born. The second step was getting an L.A. judge to approve the adoption -- that was done yesterday.
A rep for Angie tells us the Jolie-Pitts were literally celebrating at the courthouse. Mama Jolie walked out with a teddy bear -- a private foundation gives a stuff animal to every family that goes to Children's Court.
Hey Pax -- you're officially one of the luckiest young'uns alive!

This guide is designed to assist Victorian public sector agencies in achieving standards of excellence in complaint handling.
The development of this guide is in keeping with the Ombudsman's promotion of fairness, integrity, respect for human rights and administrative excellence in the Victorian public sector.
The Ombudsman investigates complaints about more than 600 public sector bodies including professional boards, municipal and shire councils, universities and government schools, prisons including private prisons, and authorised officers on public transport.
The Ombudsman can also receive disclosures under the Protected Disclosure Act 2012.
In 2008, with the requirement for all public sector agencies to comply with the Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006 (the Charter), an additional function was introduced to the Ombudsman's office to enquire into or investigate whether any administrative action is incompatible with a human right set out in the Charter.
There are a wide range of agencies handling a diversity of complaints that call for different mechanisms of complaint handling. Nevertheless, there are a number of common key features and requirements in dealing with complaints. It is hoped that this generic guide will be useful to the range of agencies under my jurisdiction for which complaint handling is an important aspect of their overall work.
We invite agencies to contact this office for further assistance in developing and enhancing their complaint handling systems.


Ghosting is formally defined as "the practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication." Ghosting is mostly conducted by people who lack communication skills and are unwilling to express their true feelings in fear of hurting others' feelings.
Nowadays, ghosting is more common than ever thanks to technology. It isn't just ignoring phone calls and text messages—it is the drop in text frequency and overall communication that makes people feel abandoned and empty. As a result, the person who has been ghosted (the "ghostee") feels a sense of inferiority, doubts themselves and their actions, and wonders what they've done wrong, even when it's nothing at all.
People who ghost others (the "ghosters") can have a variety of reasons for their actions, from a fear of emotional intimacy, to lack of compatibility, to unwillingness to enter a new relationship. Most of the times, ghosting happens after a couple's initiation-and-infatuation phase, right before they take the leap into a proper relationship. Interestingly, it's pretty clear that ghosting is avoidable; you must simply be truthful with yourself and others as you're getting to know your potential partner better. It's important to ask yourself—do you truly want to be invested in this person, or have you gotten caught up in the moment of affection? If we are able to admit to our own incapabilities, we can avoid hurting other people and protect our sanity.
It takes self-evaluation to understand your own actions and how they affect others. When we are young and stupid, sometimes we forget to stop and think of others.
I had my first experience being a ghoster earlier this year back in January. I had been talking to this guy for two or three weeks, and at the time I was out of the country visiting my brother. Just like most teenage and millenial encounters, this one started on Snapchat. All it took was one swipe up from my story, and we'd begun talking. One thing led to another, and a friendly conversation escalated to a flirtatious one. It came just at the right time for me—I had just gotten rejected from my dream university and was in the midst of a slump, unable to decide what to do with my future. I needed company and a distraction, and it felt right into my lap.
But I was in no shape or form emotionally available to get into a new relationship. So I did what any irresponsible 18-year-old would've done: I ran away from my problems. I decided to ghost him. He was out of my usual social circle and went to a different school. I knew that if I ghosted him, I would never have to confront him face to face.
However, I didn't go about it like other ghosters. After a few days of distancing myself and being unresponsive, I felt bad and immediately confessed to him. When I'd begun my ghosting process, I hadn't considered how it would affect him—I'd thought about how I was uncomfortable with the idea of confrontation rather than how I'd left him in the dark and abruptly conducted this out of blue. I distanced myself slowly, dragging out the time I had needed to respond. I texted unaffectionately, trying to act as if I had lost interest. I thought what I was doing was protecting the both of us; I thought it was better than an uncomfortable confrontation, that I was allowing nature to run its course.
As I scroll back and reread the messages I've sent, I see someone who is immature, who isn't aware of her own actions, who gave sloppy excuses instead of owning up to her own incapability and insecurity. My coldness came from a place of hostility that manifested as I confessed, when I realized the way I exposed my feelings had made me vulnerable in the eyes of others. After I sent my final texts to him, I switched my phone to airplane mode and endured a seventeen-hour flight back home with no internet. I was trapped alone with my own thoughts, and between an infant's cries and the in-flight alerts, I felt tremendous guilt.
When I talked to him months after and apologized for the way I had ended things, he told me being ghosted had genuinely affected him. Even though he'd chosen to forgive me and move on, it didn't change the harshness of my actions. When I distanced myself and decided to ghost him, it had caused him to cast doubt on his own behavior, wonder why I had done so without a proper explanation, and experience feelings of inferiority.
What goes around comes back around. More recently, I had a taste of my own medicine, switching my role from a ghoster to a ghostee. When you have been ghosted, you realize why they call it ghosting. They vanish. You hardly ever see them, and when you do, they come and go so quickly you're barely aware of their presence.
The ghosting occured in waves, slow and in increments. It took me a full day to realize what was going on, and when I questioned him about it, he quickly denied it. But we'd gone from barrages of texts to one-sided double texting and prolonged intermission. It felt uncomfortable knowing someone didn't want me as a part of their life anymore. My self-esteem took a big hit. The lack of closure and explanation drove me up the wall; I began seeking an explanation in our past exchanges, examining the words I had said and overthinking it all.
Even though I knew I wasn't the problem, I couldn't change how I felt. I needed someone to blame, but I didn't want to blame him because I still cared about him, so I blamed myself.
Between online dating culture and the simultaneous rise in dating apps, ghosting seems to be a commonly expected outcome. Apps like Tinder don't provide information about whether a user is online or has read your message. When someone doesn't respond to you on Tinder, it's reasonable to assume they have lost interest and have decided to ghost you. However, Tinder rejection seems to be different. I've always thought that on Tinder, everything is superficial—we only see the carefully curated photos, biography, and pick-up lines. When you're talking to someone in real life, like my ghoster and my ghostee, it's more personal than that. You're more intimately connected to them than your Tinder matches, so it hurts more when you get ghosted by them.
We ghost because we are afraid. We're afraid of hurting ourselves, but when we do ghost, we forget about the people we are hurting.
Before modern technology was readily accessible, we tended to form relationships with people in close proximity. Even now, people are more likely to form relationships with and take a stronger liking to those whom they see more often. This is called the mere-exposure effect. Under this phenomenon, you couldn't escape potential partners so easily—ghosting was difficult and forced people to be confrontational.
However, with technological advancements, it has became to easier to connect people—everyone is just a swipe or a click away. You're able to learn about people a lot quicker; you can scroll through years of Instagram photos, read through their favorited tweets, and go through their interests on Facebook in just one sitting. But at the same time, you can determine whether or not you're compatible with a person quicker than ever before. Technology is accompanied by overwhelming convenience. You no longer have to meet someone face to face to tell them something. We've been given the ability to (not) talk to people without seeing their reactions. It's easy to abuse that power.
Ghosting is a double-edged sword, and I have been both the one slaying and the one slain. It feels right when you're the one holding the sword, having all the power in the world, but once you've been on the other side with a wound to your heart, it's hard to see the sword the same way.
To ghost is to put yourself before others, even knowingly inflicting pain upon others, and to not ghost provides closure for both parties, allowing them to move on.

Businesses in Preston are being asked to follow the lead of the city council and pay their workers a 'living wage'.
Preston Council has been paying all staff and contracted agency staff a 'living wage' of £7.19 per hour since the end of 2008.
The authority is now making plans to get accredited as a living wage employer with the Living Wage Foundation.
After that, it plans to have its own accreditation scheme which would allow employers in Preston to call themselves a Preston Living Wage Employer if they pay £7.20 per hour to all their staff, excluding interns.
Labour councillor Matthew Brown, who initially suggested the idea, said: "We also want to work with the trade unions to get the supermarkets on board.
Council bosses also hope, when tendering new contracts for services, to ask those tenderers for their views on whether they are prepared to adopt the payment of a living wage.
The council cannot lawfully require contractors to comply but will take the response into consideration when exercising its value for money judgement.
A council report, due to be presented to cabinet on Wednesday, shows that 25% of Preston employees are paid less than £7 per hour.
The report said: "The council will aim to encourage and promote, on a case by case basis, that all employees of contractors working on qualifying service contracts be paid the Preston living wage.
"The council will encourage all employers, both directly and through their subcontractors, and promote the living wage principles when there are opportunities to so do in the city through regeneration projects or business location for example in the Central Business District (CBD).

17 Jan. 1770 - Dec. 1772
28 Dec. 1772 - 1774

b. 11 Oct. 1748, 1st s. of William Lemon of Carclew (who d.v.p.) and Anne, da. of John Willyams of Carnanton, Cornw. educ. Christ Church, Oxf. 1765; grand tour 1768. m. 3 Apr. 1771, Jane, da. of James Buller† of Morval, 2s. (1 d.v.p.) 9da. (3 d.v.p.) suc. grandfa. William Lemon 1760; cr. bt. 24 May 1774. d. 11 Dec. 1824.
Capt. R. Cornw. militia 1770, maj. 1780., lt.-col. 1798, col. 1803-7.
Lemon had inherited his grandfather's fortune, which was based on copper mining interests, and during the late eighteenth century he made several additions to his Cornish estates.1 He had sat for the county since 1774 and had shared the representation since 1806 with his Tory son-in-law, John Hearle Tremayne. He was again returned unopposed in 1820, after promising to 'discharge [his] public duty ... conscientiously and independently', and became Father of the House.2 According to Cornish Tory sources he was 'warmly attached from principle to the politics of ... Fox' and seemed to be 'just as systematic an opposer of the measures of government, whether right or wrong, as the most devoted tool of administration is in favour of them'.3 He continued to attend regularly and voted with the Whig opposition to Lord Liverpool's ministry on most major issues, including parliamentary reform, 9 May 1821, 25 Apr. 1822, 24 Apr. 1823. He divided for inquiry into the Peterloo massacre, 16 May 1821. A radical publication of 1823 noted approvingly of him that he 'attends well and votes well'.4 However, apparently for constituency reasons, he continued to vote against Catholic relief, 28 Feb. 1821, although he was also against the Irish constables bill, 7 June 1822. He made no known speeches in this period, but he was active in presenting petitions from Cornwall on various issues, including relief from agricultural distress in 1820 and 1821, and ones from county meetings which also called for retrenchment and reform, 9 Apr. 1821, 22 Apr. 1822.5 He presented several petitions for restoring Queen Caroline's name to the liturgy and voted in this sense, 23, 26 Jan., 13 Feb. 1821.6 He was reportedly absent in the early part of the 1822 session, owing to a 'very severe indisposition', but that October he attended a county meeting where he seconded the resolutions by which he hoped the government would be 'apprised of the disastrous consequences' of removing the packet service from Falmouth; they had the desired effect.7 In 1824 he presented numerous petitions for repeal of the coal duties,8 and several for the abolition of slavery.9 His death that December was apparently unexpected, although he had been 'for some time in a rather declining state of health'. It was said of him that he was 'neither an orator nor, in the vulgar acceptation of the term, a statesman', but he exhibited 'a rare combination of private and public virtue' and was 'an excellent citizen and patriot' whose 'every vote ... had for its object to uphold the liberties and to diminish the burthens of the country'.10 He was succeeded in his title and estates by his only surviving son Charles, who became a county Member in 1831.11

(Newser) – Families split by the Koreas' North-South divide could soon be reunited for the first time since the Korean War's 1953 end, though uncertainty remains. The North today agreed to talks aimed at planning the reunions, which the South has proposed run from Feb. 17 to 22, the New York Times reports. Seoul wanted to hold the planning talks last Wednesday, but the North gave no reply for a week; the two sides have now settled on this Wednesday. Such reunions have occurred 18 times previously, beginning in 1985, bringing together 22,000 Koreans.
They'd best be doing these reunions real quick before it's too late, since most of the old folks are dying away. Sixty years is a long time.
Technically, the war didn't end in 1953, it went under cease fire. Little importance, but truth.
Gee isn't it about time to come out of your cave N.Korea?

Climate Change and Indigenous Peoples
Edited by Randall S. Abate, Elizabeth Ann Kronk Warner
Indigenous peoples occupy a unique niche within the climate justice movement, as many indigenous communities live subsistence lifestyles that are severely disrupted by the effects of climate change. Additionally, in many parts of the world, domestic law is applied differently to indigenous peoples than it is to their non-indigenous peers, further complicating the quest for legal remedies. The contributors to this book bring a range of expert legal perspectives to this complex discussion, offering both a comprehensive explanation of climate change-related problems faced by indigenous communities and a breakdown of various real world attempts to devise workable legal solutions. Regions covered include North and South America (Brazil, Canada, the US and the Arctic), the Pacific Islands (Fiji, Tuvalu and the Federated States of Micronesia), Australia and New Zealand, Asia (China and Nepal) and Africa (Kenya).

Poverty Alleviation and Environmental Law
Edited by Yves Le Bouthillier, Miriam Alfie Cohen, Jose Juan Gonzalez Marquez, Albert Mumma, Susan Smith
This timely book explores the complex relationship between the alleviation of poverty and the protection of the environment. There is every reason to believe that these issues are in many ways interdependent. However this book demonstrates that there are situations where alleviation of poverty and the protection of the environment appear to be in a fraught relationship. The contributing authors illustrate that the role played by law in this relationship, whether at the international or national level, will vary depending on the situation and will be more successful at pursuing environmental justice in some cases than in others.

Domnic Alex Fernandes (D) through LRS. & Ors. Vs. Union of India and Ors.
[Criminal Appeal No. 34 of 2009]
ADARSH KUMAR GOEL, J.
1. This appeal has been preferred against Order dated 11th July, 2007 of the High Court of Judicature at Bombay in Criminal Writ Petition No. 1088 of 1995.
2. The question for consideration is whether tenancy of a property, ownership of which is acquired by a person to whom the Smugglers and Foreign Exchange Manipulators (Forfeiture of Property) Act, 1976 (SAFEMA) applies, will be treated as "illegally 2 acquired property" within the meaning of Section 3(1)(c) of SAFEMA and can be subjected to forfeiture under the provisions thereof.
3. Facts giving rise to the issue may be briefly stated. Vide order dated 19th January, 1974 one Krishna Budha Gawde was detained under Section 3(1) of the Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act, 1974 (COFEPOSA) by the Government of Maharashtra. As his detention was confirmed by the Advisory Board, he was covered by Section 2(b) of SAFEMA1 as the
2. Application.-
(1) The provisions of this Act shall apply only to the persons specified in sub-section (2).
(2) The persons referred to in sub-section (1) are the following, namely:-

(d) every associate of a person referred to in clause (a) or clause (b);
(e) any holder (hereafter in this clause referred to as the present holder) of any property which was at any time previously held by a person referred to in clause (a) or clause (b) unless the present holder or, as the case may be, anyone who held such property after such person and before the present holder, is or was a transferee in good faith for adequate consideration.

(b) the value of the assets contributed by such person (including the value of the assets, if any, contributed by him earlier) to the trust amounts, on the date on which the contribution is made, to not less than twenty per cent. of the value of the assets of the trust on that date;
(vii) where the competent authority, for reasons to be recorded in writing, considers that any properties of such person are held on his behalf by any other person, such other person.
Explanation 4.- For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby provided that the question whether any person is a person to whom the provisions of this Act apply may be determined with reference to any facts, circumstances or events (including any conviction or detention) which occurred or took place before the commencement of this Act.
3. Definitions.-
(1) In this Act, unless the context otherwise requires,-
(c) "illegally acquired property", in relation to any person to whom this Act applies, means-
(i) any property acquired by such person, whether before or after the commencement of this Act, wholly or partly out of or by means of any income, earnings or assets derived or obtained from or attributable to any activity prohibited by or under any law for the time being in force relating to any matter in respect of which Parliament has power to make laws; or
(ii) any property acquired by such person, whether before or after the commencement of this Act, wholly or partly out of or by means of any income, earning or assets in respect of which any such law has been contravened; or
(iii) any property acquired by such person, whether before or after the commencement of this Act, wholly or partly out of or by means of any income, earnings or assets the source of which cannot be proved and which cannot be shown to be attributable to any act or thing done in respect of any matter in relation to which Parliament has no power to make laws; or 4 was liable to be forfeited. Accordingly, notice of forfeiture was issued under Section 6 of the Act in respect of several properties including the property which is subject matter of present proceeding viz. T-40, Juhu Koliwada, H.B. Gawde Road (also known as Azad Road), I Santacruz (West), Mumbai - 400 049. Vide order dated 29th August, 1977, the competent authority passed an order under Section 7 of the Act holding the property in question to be liable to be forfeited. This order was confirmed by the Appellate Tribunal for Forfeited Property on 2nd April, 1997 in respect of the said property.
4. The appellants herein filed a Writ Petition under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution seeking a direction that order of forfeiture passed against Krishna Budha Gawde could not operate against them as they are bona fide tenants. Prior to 1965, the original owner of the property sold the property to Krishna Budha Gawde. The new (iv) any property acquired by such person, whether before or after the commencement of this Act, for a consideration, or by any means, wholly or partly traceable to any property referred to in sub-clauses (i) to (iii) or the income or earnings from such property; and includes-
(A) any property held by such person which would have been, in relation to any previous holder thereof, illegally acquired property under this clause if such previous holder had not ceased to hold it, unless such person or any other person who held the property at any time after such previous holder or, where there are two or more such previous holders, the last of such previous holders is or was a transferee in good faith for adequate consideration;
(B) any property acquired by such person, whether before or after the commencement of this Act, for a consideration, or by any means, wholly or partly traceable to any property falling under item (A), or the income or earnings therefrom; ... ... ... 5 landlord - Gawde reconstructed the structure in the year 1972 and the appellants were put in possession thereof and were paying rent to the new owner under the Bombay Rent Act. They were not aware of proceedings under SAFEMA and COFEPOSA against the landlord. They informed the competent authority about this. Since they apprehended coercive steps against them, they are entitled to be granted protection.
5. The writ petition was contested by submitting that since the properties of Krishna Budha Gawde stood forfeited and vested in the Central Government free from all encumbrances, the alleged tenancy rights did not survive and the competent authority was entitled to take possession under Section 19 of SAFEMA.
6. The High Court dismissed the writ petition holding that the tenancy did not survive in view of Section 7(3) of SAFEMA.
8. The contention raised on behalf of the appellants is that forfeiture contemplated under Section 7 of the Act is only of illegally 6 acquired property as defined under Section 3(1)(c) of SAFEMA i.e. property acquired by the person to whom the Act applies which is defined under Section 2(2) of SAFEMA. The Act applied to a person against whom the order of detention has been passed or a person who is a relative or associate of such person or holder of the property which was previously held by such person as per the said provision, quoted earlier. 'Relative' is defined in Explanation 2 and 'associate' is defined in Explanation 3 of Section 2 of SAFEMA.
9. It is submitted that the appellants could not, in any manner, be held to be relative or associate of the person against whom the order of detention had been passed, and, therefore they could not be visited with any adverse consequences for the wrongful action of Krishna Budha Gawde. Reliance has been placed on judgments of this Court in C.B. Gautam versus Union of India and Ors.; Attorney General for India and Ors. versus Amratlal Prajivandas and Ors.4; State of West Bengal and Ors. versus Vishnunarayan & Associates (P) Ltd. and Anr.5; Fatima Mohd. Amin (Smt.) (Dead) through LRs. versus Union of India and Anr.6; P.P. Abdulla and Anr. versus Competent Authority and ors.7; Aslam Mohammad Merchant versus Competent Authority and Ors.8; Vishal N. Kalsaria versus Bank of India and Ors.
9 ; and judgment of Bombay High Court in Narayan Vittappa Kudva versus Union of India and Anr..
10. Learned counsel for the respondents supported the view taken in the impugned judgment.
11. On due consideration of the matter, we find merit in the contention of the appellants. The answer to the question framed in earlier part of the judgment has to be in favour of the appellants and in the negative.
12. In C.B. Gautam (supra) validity of Chapter XX-C inserted in the Income Tax, 1961 by the Finance Act of 1986 was considered. The 6 (2003) 7 SCC 436 7 (2007) 2 SCC 510 8 (2008) 14 SCC 186 9 (2016) 3 SCC 762 10 2002 (2) MhLJ 290 8 scheme of the said provision was to confer power of compulsory purchase of immovable property by the Department if there was under-valuation for evasion of tax. This Court upheld the provision by reading therein the requirement of giving opportunity of hearing and recording reasons.
However, as regards the bona fide rights of encumbrance holders such as a subsisting lease, it was observed that they could not be visited with adverse consequences as they were not involved in tax evasion. This Court observed: "36. ... ... ...In the result the expression "free from all encumbrances" in sub-section (1) of Section 269-UE is struck down and sub-section (1) of Section 269-UE must be read without the expression "free from all encumbrances" with the result the property in question would vest in the Central Government subject to such encumbrances and leasehold interests as are subsisting thereon except for such of them as are agreed to be discharged by the vendor before the sale is completed.
If under the relevant agreement to sell the property is agreed to be sold free of all encumbrances or certain encumbrances it would vest in the Central Government free of such encumbrances. Similarly, sub-section (2) of Section 269-UE will be read down so that if the holder of an encumbrance or a lessee is in possession of the property and under the agreement to sell the property it is not provided that the sale would be free of such encumbrances or leasehold interests, the encumbrance holder or the lessee who is in possession will not be obliged to deliver the possession of the property to the appropriate authority or any person authorised by it and the provisions of sub-section (3) also would not apply to such persons.
If the provisions of Section 269-UE are read down in the manner indicated above then, in 9 our opinion, the provisions of sub-section (6) of that section do not present any difficulty because the vesting in the Central Government would be subject to such encumbrances and leasehold rights as stated earlier."
13. In Amratlal (supra) this Court considered the validity of the SAFEMA and the COFEPOSA and in that context one of the questions framed for consideration was whether the definition of "illegally acquired property" in clause (c) of Section 3(1) of SAFEMA was unconstitutional and whether application of the Act to the relatives and associates of a person illegally acquiring the property was valid. This Court observed:
"44. ... ... ...The relatives and associates are brought in only for the purpose of ensuring that the illegally acquired properties of the convict or detenu, acquired or kept in their names, do not escape the net of the Act. It is a well-known fact that persons indulging in illegal activities screen the properties acquired from such illegal activity in the names of their relatives and associates. Sometimes they transfer such properties to them, may be, with an intent to transfer the ownership and title. In fact, it is immaterial how such relative or associate holds the properties of convict/detenu - whether as a benami or as a mere name-lender or as a bona fide transferee for value or in any other manner.
He cannot claim those properties and must surrender them to the State under the Act. Since he is a relative or associate, as defined by the Act, he cannot put forward any defence once it is proved that that property was acquired by the detenu - whether in his own name or in the name of his relatives and associates. It is to counteract the several devices that are or may be adopted by persons 10 mentioned in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 2(2) that their relatives and associates mentioned in clauses (c) and (d) of the said sub-section are also brought within the purview of the Act.
The fact of their holding or possessing the properties of convict/detenu furnishes the link between the convict/detenu and his relatives and associates. Only the properties of the convict/detenu are sought to be forfeited, wherever they are. The idea is to reach his properties in whosoever's name they are kept or by whosoever they are held. The independent properties of relatives and friends, which are not traceable to the convict/detenu, are not sought to be forfeited nor are they within the purview of SAFEMA**
11. We may proceed to explain what we say. Clause (c) speaks of a relative of a person referred to in clause (a) or clause (b) (which speak of a convict or a detenu). Similarly, clause (d) speaks of associates of such convict or detenu. If we look to Explanation (3) which specifies who the associates referred to in clause (d) are, the matter becomes clearer. 'Associates' means -
(i) any individual who had been or is residing in the residential premises (including outhouses) of such person ['such person' refers to the convict or detenu, as the case may be, referred to in clause (a) or clause (b)];
(ii) any individual who had been or is managing the affairs or keeping the accounts of such convict/detenu;
(iii) any association of persons, body of individuals, partnership firm or private company of which such convict/detenu had been or is a member, partner or director;
(iv) any individual who had been or is a member, partner or director of an association of persons, body of individuals, partnership firm or private company referred to in clause (iii) at any time when such person had been or is a member, partner or director of such association of persons, body of individuals, partnership firm or private company;
(v) any person who had been or is managing the affairs or keeping the accounts of any association of persons, body of individuals, partnership firm or private company referred to in clause (iii);
(vi) the trustee of 11
** That this was the object of the Act is evident from para 4 of the preamble which states: "And whereas such persons have in many cases been holding the properties acquired by them through such gains in the names of their relatives associates and confidants." We are not saying that the preamble can be utilized for restricting the scope of the Act, we are only referring to it to ascertain the object of the enactment and to reassure ourselves that the construction placed by us accords with the said object.
any trust where
(a) the trust has been created by such convict/detenu; or
(b) the value of the assets contributed by such convict/detenu to the trust amounts, on the date of contribution not less than 20% of the value of the assets of the trust on that date; and
(vii) where the competent authority, for reasons to be recorded in writing, considers that any properties of such convict/detenu are held on his behalf by any other person, such other person.
It would thus be clear that the connecting link or the nexus, as it may be called, is the holding of property or assets of the convict/detenu or traceable to such detenu/convict. Section 4 is equally relevant in this context. It declares that "as from the commencement of this Act, it shall not be lawful for any person to whom this Act applies to hold any illegally acquired property either by himself or through any other person on his behalf". All such property is liable to be forfeited.
The language of this section is indicative of the ambit of the Act. Clauses (c) and (d) in Section 2(2) and the Explanations (2) and (3) occurring therein shall have to be construed and understood in the light of the overall scheme and purpose of the enactment. The idea is to forfeit the illegally acquired properties of the convict/detenu irrespective of the fact that such properties are held by or kept in the name of or screened in the name of any relative or associate as defined in the said two Explanations.
The idea is not to forfeit the independent properties of such relatives or associates which they may have acquired illegally but only to reach the properties of the convict/detenu or properties traceable to him, wherever they are, ignoring all the transactions with respect to those properties.
By way of illustration, take a case where a convict/detenu purchases a property in the name of his relative or associate - it does not matter whether he intends such a person to be a mere name-lender or whether he really intends that such person shall be the real owner and/or possessor thereof - or gifts away or otherwise transfers his properties in favour of any of his relatives or associates, or purports to sell them to any of his relatives or associates - in all such cases, all the said transactions will be ignored and the properties forfeited unless the convict/detenu or his relative/associate, as the case may be, establishes that such property or properties are not "illegally acquired properties" within the meaning of Section 3(c).
In this view of the matter, there is no basis for the apprehension that the independently acquired properties of such relatives and associates will also be forfeited even if they are in no way connected with the convict/detenu. So far as the holders (not being relatives and associates) mentioned in Section 2(2)(e) are concerned, they are dealt with on a separate footing.
If such person proves that he is a transferee in good faith for consideration, his property - even though purchased from a convict/detenu - is not liable to be forfeited. It is equally necessary to reiterate that the burden of establishing that the properties mentioned in the show-cause notice issued under Section 6, and which are held on that date by a relative or an associate of the convict/detenu, are not the illegally acquired properties of the convict/detenu, lies upon such relative/associate.
He must establish that the said property has not been acquired with the monies or assets provided by the detenu/convict or that they in fact did not or do not belong to such detenu/convict. We do not think that Parliament ever intended to say that the properties of all the relatives and associates, may be illegally acquired, will be forfeited just because they happen to be the relatives or associates of the convict/detenu.
There ought to be the connecting link between those properties and the convict/detenu, the burden of disproving which, as mentioned above, is upon the relative/associate. In this view of the matter, the apprehension and contention of the petitioners in this behalf must be held to be based upon a mistaken premise. The bringing in of the relatives and associates or of the persons mentioned in clause (e) of Section 2(2) is thus neither discriminatory nor incompetent apart from the protection of Article 31-B."
14. In Fatima (supra), applying the ratio of Amratlal (supra), this Court held that in absence of an averment that the property with an individual was benami, such individual could not be proceeded against in absence of any link or nexus of the property with the illegally acquired money.
15. In Vishnunarayan (supra) it was held that Section 6-A of the W.B. Govt. Premises (Tenancy Regulation) Act, 1976 is not applicable to tenants in lawful occupation. 16. In Abdulla (supra) following the judgment of this Court in Fatima (supra) it was held that Section 6(1) of the Act could apply only when there was a link or nexus of the property sought to be forfeited with the illegally acquired money of the person to whom the Act applied.
17. In Vishal (supra), the question was whether protected tenant under the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, 1999 could be deprived of his rights under the provisions of the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 (the SARFAESI Act). Answering the question in the negative, it was held that such a situation was not contemplated as it will result in a central statute nullifying a State statute which was within the exclusive jurisdiction of the legislature and thereby affecting the concept Federalism.
18. In Narayan Vittappa (supra) the Bombay High Court held that a person to whom the Act applied, his relative or associate did not include a bona fide tenant having no connection whatsoever to the person who was convicted or detained in the manner contemplated under Section 2 of the Act and if such a person claims to be having no nexus to the person to whom the Act applied, his rights will not stand vested in the Central Government, though he may be liable to be proceeded against the Public Premises Eviction Act.
19. In Aslam (supra), following the judgments of this Court in Amratlal (supra) and Fatima (supra) it was held that for forfeiture of property under Chapter V-A of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic 12 Para 15 in Narayan Vittappa Kudva v. Union of India and Anr. [2002 (2) MhLJ290]
Substances Act, 1985, a direct nexus/link was necessary between the properties sought to be forfeited and its illegal acquisition.
20. In the present case, it is undisputed that only adjudication which has taken place by the competent authority is that the property was owned by the person to whom the Act applied i.e. against whom the order of detention had been confirmed. The rights of the appellants, who claim to be bona fide tenants even prior to purchase of the property by the person to whom the Act applied, have not been adjudicated upon on the assumption that their rights will stand automatically terminated. In view of law laid down by this Court, noticed above, we are of the view that rights of a bona fide tenant will not stand automatically terminated by forfeiture of property and vesting thereof in the Central Government.
Such forfeiture will extinguish the rights of the person to whom the Act applies in the present case Krishna Budha Gawde, who was the owner of the property in question or his relative or associate having nexus with him in relation to the said property. However, we do not express any opinion whether the appellants are the bona fide 16 tenants and had no nexus with the acquisition of the property by the person to whom the Act applied as claimed by them. This question needs to be determined independently by the competent authority as defined in Section 3(b) of the Act.
21. Accordingly, we allow this appeal, set aside the order of the High Court and remit the matter to the competent authority for passing an appropriate order in accordance with law. The parties are directed to appear before the competent authority for further proceedings on 9th October, 2017.

Oculus Accidentally Releases Images of Consumer Model, Controller
Oopsies.

Share All sharing options for: Oculus Accidentally Releases Images of Consumer Model, Controller
Facebook-owned Oculus VR had invited press to attend a briefing ahead of the E3 gaming conference later this week to announce details of its forthcoming virtual reality headset — but this morning, it may have accidentally scooped itself.
As part of an update to the Oculus website, the company appeared to have mistakenly uploaded images of the final hardware for the Oculus Rift, which eagle-eyed VR watchers quickly grabbed — thanks, VR Focus!
Oculus says the leaked images are not final, but there are unannounced details that would seem to point to what we'll see on Thursday.
Among the new details: The camera that points at the virtual reality headset to track its position is mounted on a microphone-like pole, and the Rift headset will have a forward-facing camera. Screenshots of the leaked details mention two input options: A simple TV-like remote called the "Simple Input Device" and a traditional gaming gamepad, both included in the box.
There's also a reference to a partnership with NewEgg.com, presumably for ordering the right level of computer parts needed to power the Rift. There's no mention of final price in the leaked screenshots, but Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe said at the Code Conference last month that he expected the all-in price of the Rift and the PC to power it to come in at around $1,500.
Reached for comment, an Oculus spokesperson directed Re/code to a Reddit post by Oculus co-founder Palmer Luckey, claiming that these are "old placeholder concept image[s]."
"Everything in it is ancient, certainly nowhere close to final," Luckey wrote on Reddit. "Enjoy checking it out, at this point, but don't expect everything to carry through to" the pre-E3 event.


Donald Trump called for the U.S. Defense Department to "cancel" a contract with Boeing to build future presidential aircraft.
President-elect Donald Trump called for the U.S. Defense Department to "cancel" a contract with Boeing to build future presidential aircraft, saying costs were "more than $4 billion." Boeing said in a statement that the contract is for $170 million. Trump will attend a rally tonight in Fayetteville, North Carolina, as part of his post-election "thank you" tour, where he is expected to formally announce his pick for secretary of defense. The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously sided with prosecutors in the insider trading case Salman v. United States, saying that business executives who give confidential information to relatives are violating securities laws. The Ohio Supreme Court ruled that video footage recorded from police-car dashboard cameras is public record. In his last major national security speech, President Obama said the United States is "breaking the back" of ISIS.

I asked the PTPA a few weeks back if they'd provide an update on how the 'design stage' was progressing but no response and no update on their site. Considering the local interest in this project it's pretty discourteous and very unlikely to be completed by Q1 2019. (March 31) when there is no sign of any works or station construction having even commenced. Starfish are having an open day tomorrow for the Dock One development so maybe they'll have some inside info.
24 Jun 2017 Port dock rail line announced by Stephen Mulligan labour transport minister.
Nov 2017 The PTPA has been selected to deliver the design and construction of the Port Dock Railway Line & Station.
The fact is they have not even bothered to up date their web site since 6 Nov 2017.
Project brief 1 K of single track railway, one single sided platform . one tram type platform shelter associated points and signalling. I repeat how long doe it take to build this.
Is DPTI - Department of Planning, Transport ...incapable of handling more than 1 project at a time?
The PTPA has been selected to deliver the design and construction of the Port Dock Railway Line & Station. The PTPA brings McConnell Dowell, Arup and Mott .
Perhaps the current government is hoping it quietly goes away.
The is a community open day next weekend, the project is not dead.
Thanks Norman. Living abroad it can be frustrating trying to find out information about these projects- googling finds very little about timelines and start dates. The Flinders link project I'm pretty sure was first promised in 2014 and yet here we are heading towards mid 2019 and there's still no sign of a start date of the the proper construction work. And this is also a very short kilometre spur or so. The Gawler Electrification work was supposed to start in the last quarter of 2018 - it's almost the end of the first quarter of 2019 and besides undergrounding some cables and trimming some trees there's still no word of heavy construction starting.
Regarding Flinders Link, some of the pylons have started construction. The project is also awaiting final approval by SCAP (the assessment panel). It is still showing as Deferred.
Regarding the Gawler Line electrification, I think major construction is imminent as I have seen stations with markings indicating where the masts will be installed.
Extending the train from Tonsley Park to Flinders university was first proposed in 1970.

When the Flinders Link plans were referred to the State Commission Assessment Panel, I was one of four people who lodged representations against it, and one of two who made a verbal presentation to the SCAP. I focussed mainly on the transport and land use implications, and suggested a better alternative (straightening the Tonsley Line and extending it above Flinders Drive to a station by the FMC main entrance and bus interchange) and a cheaper alternative: making the existing station more visible and improving its bus links to Flinders. In my presentation I also highlighted the shortage and inaccuracy of the information DPTI provided.
The other presentation, focussing on accessibility issues and the impact on Tonsley residents, was made by Jodie Pearce.
The initial result of these presentations was that the SCAP decided to defer its decision pending more information from DPTI. A week and a half ago, after DPTI had supplied more information, SCAP reconsidered it. This time there was no opportunity for Jodie and myself to present, though we'd both made written responses (mine highlighted the flaws in DPTI's options selection process; DPTI didn't respond to it). This time SCAP did make a decision as to what to recommend to the minister, but they kept it secret. They'll tell me what it is when the minister makes the decision.
Well Aidan I must say, it's pretty disappointing that an option was even presented to the government recommending a cheaper option of upgrading Tonsley and providing better bus links to Flinders. Our public transport planners show absolutely no willingness or expertise in co ordinating bus and train services as it is, and Adelaide is already awash with buses doing what trains should do, and trains stopping just short of where people actually need to go. We don't need another near enough is good enough solution. I do like your option 1 though.
Gawler railway electification was mooted in the late 1940s/early 1950s as part of the project to electrify the Port Adelaide, Belair, Dry Creek and Marino lines. RAILWAY ELECTRIFICATION REPORT (1950, August 17). Chronicle (Adelaide, SA : 1895 - 1954), p. 8. There seems to have also been thoughts in that direction prior to World War I around the same time as the Adelaide tram lines and Melbourne railways were electrified.
Rail has been neglected in this state for a long time.
In a way, it comes back to the gauge issue that resulted from frankly pathetic communication between the colonies in the 1860's. If we'd just built the 4 ft 8 1⁄2 like NSW did, there wouldn't be this patchy and broken network.
OlympusAnt, are you aware of the history?
SA did recognise the advantage of gauge commonality, and met with Victoria and NSW to decide which gauge to select.
NSW had an Irish chief engineer who insisted on the 5ft 3 gauge which was standard in Ireland. So SA ordered broad gauge equipment. Victoria soon followed. Then NSW replaced their Irish chief engineer with a Scottish one who insisted on switching to standard gauge.
I make no apologies for presenting the cheaper option. DPTI's Flinders Link plan is catastrophic for Adelaide's long term development, as it would make it very difficult to extend the line further (and if they did somehow manage it, the route would be very slow and expensive).
However it does have the short term advantage of being cheaper than my preferred option. So presenting a cheaper still option was essential lest they selected DPTI's plan on cost grounds.
Linking an upgraded Tonsley station with Flinders Uni (with an upgraded Flinders Loop bus, or better still by diverting the G10 via Ring Road) would provide much of the short term benefit of DPTI's plan at a small fraction of the cost. But most importantly, it would still enable a more comprehensive solution in the future.
Are you talking about extending the Tonsley line up into the Flagstaff-Aberfoyle-Happy Valley-Woodcroft area in the long term future? and if so, can I ask what about the current plan makes it difficult to extent? Can the line not swing around and use University Drive or Ring Rd (with a Uni stop)? Aren't they going to need to wind a bit and cut across the gorge on a bridge to handle the steep grade heading up into the hills? Not attacking, I'm just curious as to how it would all work under either idea.

Not quite. Based on a plan posted here by Fabricator a few years back, it would have a station by the Flagstaff Hill roundabout, but then run west of the Happy Valley Reservoir. Possible station near South/Chandlers junction. Definite station near Lander Road (which would be extended under South Road). Possible station near northern end of OSR; definite station by bus interchange at southern end. Then to Hackham via route of old Willunga line.
A branch to Aberfoyle Park is also a long term possibility.
Interestingly, DPTI's document also showed they had considered a second option for an extension to Hackham (from a Flinders Drive alignment) further east. Only the northern end is shown, so I can do no more than speculate about the rest of the alignment, but imagine it would run through Aberfoyle Park, Happy Valley and the eastern part of Woodcroft before ending at the eastern end of Doctors Road.
and if so, can I ask what about the current plan makes it difficult to extent?

It certainly can't use either of those roads. They did consider a way to extend it to a Uni stop in the gully east of Ring Road, but doing so would (by their own reckoning) require 150m radius curves. 200 is the current minimum in Adelaide; aside from any rollingstock modifications needed, tighter curves could only be negotiated at very low speeds.

Q: Is there a way to know if any program is listening to my microphone. Windows 10 I recently used my PC to make a VOIP call. I thought I hung up but 2 hours later I realized the call was on.
I'm  concerned about the wider privacy implications.
My webcam in contrast has a light indication that the camera is on.
I know that I can disable/enable permission for different programs in Win 10, but I did allow this program and still didn't notice it's listening/recording.
I'm asking if there is a simple way know if any program is using the mic, note that there may more then one, (for example the built in one, usb mic, usb webcam).
If there is a programmatic approach, that would be welcome as well.

A: Is a simple way know if any program is using the mic?
Hover your cursor over the microphone in your system tray.

How to See What's Using Your Microphone Right Now
If an application is using your microphone, you'll see a microphone
icon in your notification area, also known as your system tray. It's
black if you're using Windows 10's light theme and white if you're
using Windows 10's dark theme.
Hover your cursor over the icon and Windows will tell you which app is
currently using your microphone. If more than one application is
currently using your microphone, Windows will show you how many
applications are using your microphone.

...

If you don't see the microphone icon, be sure to check the overflow
menu by clicking the up arrow to the left of your notification icons.
If the microphone icon is hidden here and you'd prefer it visible on
your taskbar, you can drag and drop it to the notification area on
your taskbar.

...

This icon only appears while an application is currently using, or listening to, your microphone. If you don't see it, no applications are using your microphone right now.

Q: GCC warning about assigning a pointer variable with an array? code snippet:
int *c[2] = {{1,2,3}, {4,5,6}};

gives warning:
warning: incompatible integer to pointer conversion initializing 'int *' with an expression of type 'int'
      [-Wint-conversion]
    int *c[2] = {{1,2,3}, {4,5,6}};
                  ^
warning: excess elements in scalar initializer
    int *c[2] = {{1,2,3}, {4,5,6}};
                    ^

I suppose array {1,2,3} would decay to pointer so the assignment be legit?
Further more, according to the warning, why does the compiler think i'm trying to assign int to int *? instead of int array type to int *?  Thanks in advance!

A: Bracketed initializers are not arrays, and so cannot undergo decay to a pointer type.  And because c is an array of int *, each initializer needs to be of that type.  Nested initializers only work with actual arrays (not pointers) or structs.
What you can do however is use compound literals in the initializer which do have an array type.
int *c[2] = {(int []){1,2,3}, (int []){4,5,6}};

A:
I suppose array {1,2,3} would decay to pointer so the assignment be legit?

No.  {1, 2, 3} is not an array, and no decay applies to it.  It is an initializer suitable for initializing an array of three or more elements of arithmetic type, but you are trying to use it to initialize a pointer.  You could do something like this, instead:
static int x[] = { 1, 2, 3 };
static int y[] = { 4, 5, 6 };
int *c[] = { x, y };

Or you could use compound literals to avoid declaring variables x and y, as another answer suggests.  In either of these cases, the initializer elements are arrays, and they do decay to pointers.
