When George Adamski — A Herald for the Space Brothers was published in 2010 and I was invited to give presentations about my work, to my amazement 80 to 90 per cent of the audiences had hardly or ever heard of George Adamski, and most of those who had only had a faint idea of who he was.
While this is a good indication of the effectiveness of the disinformation campaign aimed at the 1950s contactees in general, and Adamski in particular, and the ridicule and derision of Adamski's character, motives, and methods that followed, it obscures the massive impact that his mission has had on 20th century culture. More than anyone else's, his books and photographs 'normalized' the notion of extraterrestrial visitors coming to Earth, even if he wasn't believed.
VHS release of Stranger from Venus
Stranger from Venus (UK) / Immediate Disaster (US) (1954): Written by Adamski's co-author Desmond Leslie, originally as a 6-part TV series titled The Venusian. Produced on an extremely low budget, showing almost only people talking, in just three different settings, the film was never going to be a box office hit, even though it starred Patricia Neal (The Day the Earth Stood Still, 1951). It tells the story of a stranger who arrives at a rural inn amid reports of the sighting of a flying saucer. The stranger eventually explains that he has arrived to deliver a message to the leaders of Earth from his superiors who are on their way from the planet Venus, about the impending danger of the atom bomb: "Be very careful with this nuclear power thing you've just invented. You're about to become a menace to other planets." (More info.)
Easy Rider (1969): In one scene in this cult hit film of 1969, Billy (Dennis Hopper) tells his companions Wyatt (Peter Fonda) and UCLA lawyer George (Jack Nicholson) how he just saw a UFO, to which George replies with an expose taken straight from George Adamski's books:
Screenwriter Terry Southern, who worked on the script with Fonda and Hopper, describes the origin of the scene: "The woman we employed to type the script had just come from Washington, D. C., where she had been an active member of a saucer-cult, founded by the late Adamsky [sic] – whose disciples claim to be in touch with Venusians. (…) Her attitude toward their presence was one of such total conviction, and her enthusiasm so fervent, that it had a very appealing effect. I recorded several of these soliloquies, had a transcript made of the tape and gave it to Hopper, along with the script, before he went on location — where the sequence in question was filmed." (Source: Terry Southern, letter to the New York Times books section, 7 June 1970 )
Rainbow Bridge (1971) is the registration of a 'New Age' gathering on Maui, Hawaii, in 1970, where Jimi Hendrix played one of his last concerts. Near the end of the film former Adamski co-worker Charlotte Blob speaks about Venusians who have secretly contacted the US government and offered a free and non-polluting energy system, and because that would be a threat to the vested financial and economic powers, the ET presence was covered in secrecy. Ironically, the idea behind Rainbow Bridge was "to shoot an antidote to Easy Rider, showing the positive side of the youth movement." (Harry Shapiro, Jimmy Hendrix: Electric Gypsy, 1990)
In addition to the script for Stranger from Venus and three other films, Desmond Leslie wrote five novels and two satires. About his 1958 novel The Amazing Mr Lutterworth he said that it "was 75 per cent non-fiction … and the principal character of the plot was, of course, George Adamski." Published in hardcover and paperback editions, the fictional story follows Mr Lutterworth as he tries to remember his mission to save humanity from the consequences of corporate greed by providing all the nations of the world with an extraterrestrial device for the production of unlimited energy. The story is interspersed with matter-of-fact references to the cosmic philosophy of Universal Law as expounded in Adamski's teachings.
Announcement in Flying Saucer Review, January/February 1959
Adamski's desert encounter has been turned into several graphic novels over the years. One early one was a French novel titled Le dossier des Soucoupes Volantes by Jacques Lob and Robert Gigi (Dargaud, 1972), which was a literal depiction of the actual account. In 2011 there followed a US graphic novel titled Saucer Country by Paul Cornell and Goran Sudzuka (DC, 2011), which depicts the uninformed general perception of Adamski as a fraud.
Lob and Gigi, Le dossier des Soucoupes Volantes
The English DJ, musician, singer and record producer Adam Paul Tinley, prominent at the time of 'acid house' for several tracks and a collaboration with the artist Seal, created his stage name Adamski after George Adamski, and published tracks with titles such as 'The Space Jungle' (1990) and 'Intravenous Venus' (1998).
German techno band Scooter refers to George Adamski in their 2007 song U.F.O. Phenomena. The full lyrics of the track are: "U.F.O. Phenomena / Across the sky like a star / U.F.O. Phenomena / Adamski may have gone too far / U.F.O. Phenomena / On planet earth it's so bizarre".
SCOUT SHIP MODELS
George Adamski's iconic photographs of a Venusian scout ship from December 1953 inspired various model manufacturers.
SCOUT SHIP MODEL KITS
In the last quarter of the 20th century at least four different Japanese manufacturers produced scale models of the Venusian scout ship that became iconic through Adamski's photographs and films. The last of these model kits (scale 1/60) was marketed as recently as 2000 and included a brief reference on the box to Adamski's 1952 desert encounter. This model kit was re-introduced in February 2014 for the English speaking market by Atlantis. Also, in April 2014 a new model kit (scale 1/48) was introduced by Hand&Head of Korea.
Further evidence of Adamski's enduring popularity in Japan are two different models Zippo lighters commemorating the 1952 desert encounter.
According to Tony Brunt, Adamski's Danish co-worker Major Hans C. Petersen "admired Adamski's balanced personality – the fact that he was a New Age kind of guy but also a red-blooded man's man" who not only "entertained a deep veneration of the Creator, Nature … his fellow man and … Cosmic Laws," but also liked a drink and a smoke. In fact, in Inside the Space Ships Adamski describes how, "through sheer force of habit, I reached for [my cigarettes]. Observing this, the little lady from Venus smiled and said, 'You may smoke if you like. I will get you a receptacle for your ashes. You see, only Earth people indulge in that odd habit!' I thanked her and returned the package to my pocket without taking a cigarette." (p.65)
According to the Wikipedia entry on George Adamski, there are now [2019] six games which use Adamski's name in some way, mostly based on the prevailing notion that Adamski was a con man. For instance, in a game titled Hunter: The Vigil (2008), Taskforce Valkyrie's "Operation Adamski works with information. Specifically, disinformation. By spreading around obviously bogus photos and stories through the many madmen on the internet and in the world, ADAMSKI disorients the obvious truth seekers trying to break through the deception."
Speaking of which . . . see: His reputation.
The Battle Cats (2011), Area 22 level 'Adamski Type'
Equatorial Guinea issued a postage stamp in 1974 featuring a flying saucer that was clearly inspired by Adamski's iconic scout ship photograph, celebrating "interplanetary collaboration".
In 1978 Grenada issued these postage stamps, featuring an artist's rendition of two of George Adamski's photographs of space craft, the Venusian scout craft (top right), photographed in December 1952; and the formation flying by the moon (centre right) which he photographed 29 May 1950. The series was issued in part as a result of Grenada's then-Prime Minister Eric Gairy's effort to organise a United Nations-based committee to research and investigate global UFO reports. Other renditions illustrate the celestial phenomenon in Nuremberg in 1561, and Washington DC in 1952. Prime minister Gairy was overthrown in a coup in 1978 and his UFO initiative was subsequently dismantled.
Japan issued a postage stamp that features an artist's rendition of a photo of Adamski and one of his famous scout ship photos (date unknown).
Other countries, too, have issued postage stamps featuring UFOs, among which the Maldives, Tadjikistan, Tanzania, Turkmenistan, and Kalmykia, whose former President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov has famously spoken out about his experience on board a space craft in September 1997.
The Venusian scout ship photographed by Adamski features prominently in the announcements for Patrick Connelly's upcoming film They Rode The Flying Saucers (in production), that is set to feature "original audio from the Contactees, original animation, and interviews with Contactees, scholars and authors who discuss how society of mid-century America influenced them, and what impact the Contactees had, even to this day."

For those non-dev folks out there, whenever you type something into an edit box on a web page and click a "submit" type button, in most cases whats going on under the seems is a HTTP request is made to the target server with the data packaged in a HTTP POST request. An example of a HTML form that sends a single value named "hostname" to a web application with a HTTP POST command.
As you see, the POST Data contains the name=value pairs for all of the form elements.
Let's say hacker Fred comes in and thinks to himself. Hmmm. I wonder what happens when if I send this application a multi-megabyte string for the username input value.
Where "aaa...aaa" is 1000000 characters long and sends it to the application with the tcp client of his choice. Since the server application didn't test for large string sizes, odds are a memory error could occur such as a buffer exploit, memory corruption or something more extreme. Bad things can happen such as server crashes and possibly data corruption and leakage of sensitive information.
iRules provide a very easy way to inspect the Content-Length of a HTTP request and block any requests that violate length constraints before the request even makes it to the application server. The following iRule will select an arbitrary limit of 1024 characters for the HTTP POST Data.
log local0. "  SEC-ALERT: POST Length: uri=[HTTP::uri]; len=$len; max_len=$::sec_http_max_post_data_length"
If the Content-Length is larger than this limit, a message is sent to the system log and the connection is rejected. The application will never see the request and you've just avoided a buffer exploit attempt.
This is not a end-all-be-all solution for form protection. In fact, there are entire products developed to perform deep field inspection for HTML forms. But this solution does allow for an arbitrary first line of defense, or a quick way to protect a newly discovered exploit until an application fix is made.
Its possible to block the data that you input on POST ?
In this example , username=joe ???

This strategy may be best to save corals from climate change
July 2nd, 2019 Posted by Todd Bates-Rutgers

Conserving a wide range of habitats is the best way to protect the corals that climate change threatens, according to a new study.
The finding likely applies to conservation efforts for many other species in the ocean and on land, including trees and birds.
"Rather than conserving just the cold places with corals, we found that the best strategies will conserve a wide diversity of sites," says coauthor Malin Pinsky, an associate professor in the ecology, evolution, and natural resources department at Rutgers University-New Brunswick. "Hot reefs are important sources of heat-tolerant corals, while cold sites and those in between are important future refuges and stepping stones for corals as the water heats up."
Worldwide, about 500 million people rely on coral reefs for food and livelihoods, with billions of dollars a year boosting economies, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Reefs protect coastlines from storms and erosion; provide habitat as well as spawning and nursery grounds for fish; and result in income from fishing, recreation, and tourism, among other benefits.
"It's about protecting a diversity of habitats, which scientists hadn't fully appreciated before."
But corals face several threats, including global warming, warm water bleaching episodes, reef destruction, nutrient pollution, and ocean acidification from carbon dioxide emitted when fossils fuels burn.
Predictions about the future of corals are generally grim, the study notes, but there is growing recognition that they can adapt rapidly to a changing climate.
In the new study, the researchers modeled how different conservation strategies might help coral reefs survive climate change. Previous research addressed where to establish marine protected areas to help corals, but nearly all studies overlooked the fact that corals can also evolve in response to climate change, Pinsky says.
The researchers evaluated a range of potential conservation strategies, including those that:
protected sites where existing coral populations appeared to be "preadapted" to future conditions;
conserved sites suitable for corals to move to in the future;
conserved sites with large populations of certain species;
conserved the smallest populations;
or protected reef sites chosen at random.
The researchers found that conserving many different kinds of reefs would work best.
"Corals are facing a gauntlet over the coming years and decades from warming oceans, but we found that reef conservation in general can really boost corals' ability to evolve and cope with these changes," Pinsky says.
"There is strength in diversity, even when it comes to corals. We need to think not only about saving the cooler places, where corals can best survive in the future, but also the hot places that already have heat-resistant corals. It's about protecting a diversity of habitats, which scientists hadn't fully appreciated before."
The researchers are developing regional models to test conservation strategies for the Caribbean Sea, the central Pacific Ocean, and the Coral Triangle in the western Pacific, he says. They want to understand how the most effective conservation strategies differ from one region to the next.
"We are working closely with conservation groups that will be applying the guidelines and findings from this study to coral reef conservation around the world," Pinsky says.
The research appears in Nature Climate Change. Additional researchers at the University of Washington, Utah State University, Coral Reef Alliance, Stanford University, and University of Queensland in Australia contributed to the work.

Subaru Clinches 2017 CRC Manufacturer's championship with Pacific Forest Rally Win Français
Subaru Canada Inc.
Subaru Rally Team Canada sits firmly atop Canadian Rally Championship standings after eight-stage B.C. rally
Subaru vehicles swept podium once again, claiming record 13th Manufacturer's championship
MISSISSAUGA, ON, Oct. 17, 2017 /CNW/ - It was another first-place finish for Subaru Rally Team Canada (SRTC) – and another podium sweep for Subaru – at this year's Pacific Forest Rally in British Columbia, the fifth round of the 2017 Canadian Rally Championship (CRC) season.
The victory marks SRTC's third in a row, and keeps the team atop the championship standings with two events to go despite having had a rough start to the season. It also saw Subaru clinch the 2017 Manufacturer's championship.
Subaru Clinches 2017 CRC Manufacturer's championship with Pacific Forest Rally Win (CNW Group/Subaru Canada Inc.)
Led by Antoine L'Estage and co-driver Alan Ockwell, SRTC emerged victorious even with varied conditions that made the final day of the event particularly challenging. With the team facing ice and snow early on, the choice to run gravel tires cost the team speed, and with it two stage wins the morning of Day 2.
With gravel roads in the afternoon, however, it was back to their winning ways for L'Estage and Ockwell, as the pair guided SRTC to its third consecutive victory of the 2017 CRC season.
"We're really thrilled," Ockwell said after the event. "It sets us up for a very strong finish for the end of the season so we can make one final push to try to win the driver's and co-driver's championships."
Eight of the rally's top 10 finishers, including all three on the podium, were Subaru vehicles, helping Subaru clinch the 2017 Manufacturer's championship with 100 points so far this season with two events to go. The championship is a record 13th for Subaru.
The 2017 CRC season continues next month in Ontario with 47th running of the Rally of the Tall Pines. The 21-stage event is scheduled to take place Nov. 24-25 in Bancroft, Ont.

Trump Drops Truth Bombs on Lying Fraudsters Fauci, and Birx
President Donald Trump has released a scathing rebuke of his former coronavirus advisors Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx calling both of them "two self-promoters trying to reinvent history." dropping vicious Truth Bombs. The latest "Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America" of many released since his highly irregular ouster, fraught with accusations of electoral fraud, came with the now familiar header of " The Office Of Donald J. Trump" with a Presidential Seal variant. All extremely appropriate to what many Americans feel is akin to an administration operating in exile from the "Summer White House" while the Biden-Harris regime laments the "long dark winter", its sunny at Mar-a-Lago.
The President's comments were released following a farcical CNN "documentary" propaganda piece (fixed it for ya') which aired Sunday. In this "documentary" blatant hit job ( you're welcome), Dr. Birx said,
"the U.S. did not act aggressively enough to fight the spread of the coronavirus, saying that deaths "could have been mitigated or decreased substantially" after the initial wave." according to WJLA ABC7
They added that Fauci told CNN it seemed like the Trump virus team was "fighting with each other rather than fighting the virus." According to Trump, there may have been a kernel of truth to that. He wrote "Dr. Fauci would always talk negatively about her and, in fact, would ask not to be in the same room with her.
Both Fauci and Birx were embraced by the Biden-Harris regime following their assumption of power. Since then they have found a more receptive audience with the Democrat-Socialist left only too happy to give them carte blanche over American's rights, livelihoods and even lives.
This came shortly after Dr. Fauci seemed to entreat Trump for help in convincing his skeptical supporters to subject themselves to the never before attempted mRNA based vaccine that was rushed into worldwide production under the strain of the COVID19 Panic.
Fauci on Fox News Sunday says he thinks it'd be "very helpful" if Trump encouraged his followers to get vaccinated, then adds, "I'm very surprised at the high percentage of Republicans who say they don't want to get vaccinated. I don't understand where that's coming from." pic.twitter.com/6vNyMNJ03d

Trump Strikes Back Like Only He Can-With The Truth
President Trump wrote of his fair-weather advisor Dr. Fauci,
"Dr. Fauci is also the king of "flip-flops" and moving the goalposts to make himself look as good as possible. He fought me so hard because he wanted to keep our country open to countries like China. I closed it against his strong recommendation, which saved many lives. Dr. Fauci also said we didn't need to wear masks, then a few months later he said we needed to wear masks, and now, two or three of them. Fauci spent U.S. money on the Wuhan lab in China—and we now know how that worked out. "
And of Fauci's junior partner, the President turned to Dr. Birx,
"Dr. Birx is a proven liar with very little credibility left. Many of her recommendations were viewed as "pseudo-science," and Dr. Fauci would always talk negatively about her and, in fact, would ask not to be in the same room with her. The States who followed her lead, like California, had worse outcomes on Covid, and ruined the lives of countless children because they couldn't go to school, ruined many businesses, and an untold number of Americans who were killed by the lockdowns themselves. Dr. Birx was a terrible medical advisor, which is why I seldom followed her advice. Her motto should be "Do as I say, not as I do." Who can forget when Dr. Birx gave a huge mandate to the people of our Nation to not travel, and then traveled a great distance to see her family for Thanksgiving—only to have them call the police and turn her in? She then, embarrassingly for her, resigned. "
Dr. Deborah Birx

Lurching or "stepping" on most leap seconds involves repeating a second on the clock. A millisecond clock ticks 23:59:59.999 (one millisecond before midnight) and then rolls back to 23:59:59.000. The backwards lurch immediately resets the clock to follow the change in UTC official time, but it can wreak havoc on both data integrity from timestamps and system software. A second can be a long time in a modern transaction system and lurching the clock back means that transactions that are ordered one way in real time may be ordered backwards by timestamp order. For example, imagine a system sends a bid to a stock exchange and timestamps it 23:59:59.999 and the confirmation comes back after 1 millisecond when the lurched clock tells us the time is 23:59:59.000, nearly one second earlier.
Application software that depends on time never going backward can also fail, like Cloudflare's did. The software requests time from the system, does something, requests time again and gets an earlier time - which is something that should never happen. During an earlier leap second, the thread scheduler for some Java based systems failed during the leap for similar reasons. We don't see any reason why application software should have to handle such a peculiar event.
TimeKeeper default leap second behavior is a couple of minute "slew" to keep time monotonic (no backward lurches) and preserve timestamp ordering. There is a step option that is generally only used by customers who suspend transaction processing for a couple of seconds around the leap or who have somehow otherwise compensated in application software. Google's solution is to slew over 20 or 24 hours for a much gentler slope. We don't do that because it means living with clocks that are nearly a second off for most of a day and because we don't see any application software or OS software that can't handle the shorter slew interval. You can see both the Google slew and the lurch of most public NTP servers in the TimeKeeper graph below. Close up, you can see TimeKeeper slewing, but you have to look very closely.
The leap-second has many possible failure points. Months before this one, some defective GPS clocks were jumping the gun (something that TimeKeeper detects and rejects) and I'm sure many additional reports of failures will come in over the next few weeks. Engineering to cushion the effect requires some careful design and implementation and consideration of all the ramifications for systems and application software.

Botswana's first private coal mine to produce saleable coal in March
February 1, 2019 News EditorLeave a Comment on Botswana's first private coal mine to produce saleable coal in March
Botswana's first privately owned coal mine will produce its first saleable coal in March, the chief executive of the company overseeing the project told Reuters.
The Masama Coal Mine aims to produce 1.2 million tonnes per annum of coal and will target the South African market as well as other countries in the region, Minergy Chief Executive Andre Boje said.
"We should ramp up to the nameplate volume of 300,000 tonnes per month by June/July 2019. Our target market is the southern African region at 1.2 million tons per annum, using a combination of road and rail transport," Boje added.
The open cast mine and associated coal wash plant is located 60 km (37 miles) northwest of Botswana's capital Gaborone and is being developed at a cost of 400 million pula ($39 million).
The Masama mine is estimated to hold 390 million tonnes of coal reserves. ($1 = 10.3627 pulas)

Not-for-profit hospitals have begun to rein in expenses, but it's not happening as fast as revenue growth is dropping, setting the sector on a tenuous precipice, according to a new report.
The median annual expense growth rate fell from 7.1% in 2016 to 5.7% in 2017 but annual revenue growth declined faster, from 6.1% to 4.6%, despite increased merger and acquisition activity, according to Moody's Investors Service.
Median 1% growth in inpatient admissions in 2017 marks the lowest rate of growth in the last three years. Similarly, the reduced median rate of growth in outpatient visits to 2.2%—down for the first time in five years—and the decline in the median growth rate of outpatient surgeries to 0.8% speak to the increasing supply of competing sites providing these more lucrative services, Moody's analysts said.

On September 25, 1812, John Quincy Adams, the American Ambassador in St Petersburg writes the following entry in his diary:
25th. At nine o'clock this morning I went with Mr. Smith to Field-Marshal General Count Soltykofts house, and attended the funeral of his wife, Countess Natalie. The ceremonies were the same as I have seen them several times before. About ten the procession moved from the house, and was an hour and three-quarters in reaching the Monastery of St Alexander Newsky. The service, including a short sermon, was an hour and a half long, and it was about two in the afternoon when we got home. The procession was large, and the attendance numerous. The principal change that I perceived was in the Diplomatic Corps. Lord Cathcart, with a suite of seven gentlemen, attached to the British Embassy, Mr. Zea, as Spanish Minister, the young Duke of Serra Capriola, as attached to the Legation of the Two Sicilies, and Mr. Hochschild, as Charge d'Affaires from Sweden, were there. Count Maistre, Baron Blome, and myself formed the only remnants of the former diplomacy. The courtiers were as assiduous to the British Ambassador as eighteen months ago they had been to the Duke of Vicence. Mr. Fisher called upon me after I came home, much alarmed and anxious about his present situation here. The English are all preparing to leave the country; their fears are greater than I believe there is occasion for. My landlord, Strogofshikofl, also came to me much alarmed and mortified at the present condition of his country — hinting, but afraid expressly to say, that Moscow is in the hands of the French, and still reposing confidence in the cunning of General Koutouzof. Nothing official has yet been published by the Government concerning the occupation of Moscow and the rumors are innumerable. Several persons, it is said, have been made to sweep the streets for having said that Moscow was taken; so that the people are afraid of talking.

The Hawkeyes Have a New Bud Light Can [PHOTO]
Reese Strickland, Getty Images
It looks like Bud Light is just as excited about college football season as everybody else!
CBS 2 is reporting that
Anheuser-Busch has officially debuted a new line of college football-themed cans. Only six teams got their own special can, and the University of Iowa Hawkeyes is one of them! The rest of the lineup includes Alabama, LSU, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, and Virginia Tech. Here's a look at all the new designs:
According to a tweet from sports reporter Darren Rovell, only one school approved their team's official logo on the can/packaging, and that team was not the Hawkeyes. That's ok, though, because the black and gold design on the can is unmistakably Iowa!
Both the Bud Light college football and Bud Light NFL cans are expected to hit shelves later this month, hopefully in time for Iowa's first game of the season on August 31st!

May 10, 2021 by Dr. Avinash Poddar in Madras High Court 2021
Brief Facts of the Case:
Brief Arguments by Petitioner/ Appellant:
Brief Arguments by Respondents:
Cases relied upon by:
Judgement/ Ratio (in brief):
M/S DY Beathel Enterprises
State Tax Officer
Whether the input tax credit availed by the purchaser can be questioned without taking any action against the seller?
• The petitioners herein are dealers, registered with Nagercoil Assessment Circle. Though the petitions are 17 in number, the issue raised in all these writ petitions is virtually one and the same. The petitioners are traders in Raw Rubber Sheets. According to them, they had purchased goods from one Charles and his wife Shanthi.
• Based on the returns filed by the sellers, the petitioners herein availed input tax credit. Later, during an inspection by the respondent herein, it came to light that Charles and his wife did not pay any tax to the Government. That necessitated initiation of the impugned proceedings.
• There is no doubt that the respondent had issued show-cause notices to the petitioners herein. The petitioners submitted their replies specifically taking the stand that all the amounts payable by them had been paid to the said Charles and his wife Shanthi and that therefore, those two sellers will have to be necessarily confronted during enquiry. Unfortunately, without involving the said Charles and his wife Shanthi, the impugned orders came to be passed levying the entire liability on the petitioners herein. The said orders are under challenge in these writ petitions.
The specific case of the petitioners is that a substantial portion of the sale consideration was paid only through banking channels. The payments made by the petitioners to the said Charles and his wife included the tax component also. Charles and his wife are also said to be dealers registered with the very same assessment circle.
Based on the returns filed by the sellers, the petitioners herein availed input tax credit. Later, during an inspection by the respondent herein, it came to light that Charles and his wife did not pay any tax to the Government. That necessitated initiation of the impugned proceedings. There is no doubt that the respondent had issued shows cause notices to the petitioners herein. The petitioners submitted their replies specifically taking the stand that all the amounts payable by them had been paid to the said Charles and his wife Shanthi and that therefore, those two sellers will have to be necessarily confronted during the inquiry. Unfortunately, without involving the said Charles and his wife Shanthi, the impugned orders came to be passed levying the entire liability on the petitioners herein. The said orders are under challenge in these writ petitions.
The respondent has filed a detailed counter affidavit and contended that the impugned orders, do not warrant any interference.
The learned Government Advocate would point out that the petitioners had availed input tax credit on the premise that tax had already been remitted to the Government, by their sellers. When it turned out that the sellers have not paid any tax and the petitioners could not furnish any proof for the same, the department was entirely justified in proceeding to recover the same from the petitioners herein. The respondent cannot be faulted for having reversed whatever ITC that was already availed by the petitioners herein.
Petitioner
1. Sri Vinayaga Agencies Vs. The Assistant Commissioner, CT Vadapalani, reported in 2013 60 VST page 283
The learned counsel for the petitioners would draw my attention to the decision of the Madras High Court made in Sri Vinayaga Agencies Vs. The Assistant Commissioner, CT Vadapalani, reported in 2013 60 VST page 283. It was held therein that the authority does not have the jurisdiction to reverse the input tax credit already availed by the assesses on the ground that the selling dealer has not paid the tax. I am afraid that this proposition laid down in the context of the previous tax regime may not be straight-away applicable to the current tax regime.
At this stage, the learned counsel brought to my notice that the press release issued by the Central Board of GST council on 4.5.2018. In the said press release, it has been mentioned that there shall not be any automatic reversal of input tax credit from the buyer on nonpayment of tax by the seller. In case of default in payment of tax by the seller, recovery shall be made from the seller. However, reversal of credit from buyer shall also be an option available with the revenue authorities to address exceptional situations like missing dealer, closure of business by the supplier or the supplier not having adequate assets, etc.
It can be seen therefrom that the assessee must have received the goods and the tax charged in respect of its supply, must have been actually paid to the Government either in cash or through the utilization of input tax credit, admissible in respect of the said supply.
If the tax had not reached the kitty of the Government, then the liability may have to be eventually borne by one party, either the seller or the buyer. In the case on hand, the respondent does not appear to have taken any recovery action against the seller / Charles, and his wife Shanthi, on the present transactions.
The learned counsel for the petitioners draws my attention to the order, dated 27.10.2020, finalizing the assessment of the seller by excluding the subject transactions alone. I am unable to appreciate the approach of the authorities. When it has come out that the seller has collected tax from the purchasing dealers, the omission on the part of the seller to remit the tax in question must have been viewed very seriously and strict action ought to have been initiated against him.
According to the respondent, there was no movement of the goods. Hence, examination of Charles and his wife have become all the more necessary and imperative. When the petitioners have insisted on this, I do not understand why the respondent did not ensure the presence of Charles and his wife Shanthi, in the inquiry. Thus, the impugned orders suffer from certain fundamental flaws. It has to be quashed for more reasons than one.
a) Non-examination of Charles in the inquiry
b) Non-initiation of recovery action against Charles in the first place
Therefore, the impugned orders are quashed and the matters are remitted back to the file of the respondent. The stage up to the reception of reply from the petitioners herein will hold good. Inquiry alone will have to be held afresh. In the said inquiry, Charles and his wife Shanthi will have to be examined as witnesses. Parallelly, the respondent will also initiate recovery action against Charles and his wife Shanthi.
With these directions, these writ petitions are allowed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.

berlinale dispatch: phantoms of cinema past
devikagirish February 13, 2019 February 21, 2019 berlinale 2019, festivals, film & tv, interviews, reviews & essays
First published on February 13, 2019 as part of the 2019 Berlinale Talent Press workshop.
"There's no space for liberty," says filmmaker Suhaib Gasmelbari about the state of contemporary Sudanese cinema, as we chat over a cup of coffee on the fifth day of the Berlinale. "There's a just a phantom of liberty. I want to make films in a country where the minister knows I hate him, but he still can't stop me."
It is an unfortunate reality that is illustrated over and over again in Gasmelbari's debut feature, TALKING ABOUT TREES, which screens in Panorama Dokumente. A poignant tribute to the resilience of cinephilia, the documentary chronicles the efforts of a group of retired Sudanese filmmakers – Ibrahim Shaddad, Manar Al-Hilo, Suleiman Mohamed Ibrahim, and Eltayeb Mahdi – to revive a defunct cinema. In 1989, these filmmakers formed the Sudanese Film Group (SFG), an independent collective that was squashed months after its founding when a military coup established an Islamist dictatorship in Sudan. Now, three decades later, Shaddad, Al-Hilo, Ibrahim, and Mahdi continue their fight for Sudanese film culture through informal – and often mobile – public screenings. Ironically, things are not that much easier now: As the filmmakers acquire approvals and file documents, it becomes clear that the language of violent repression has been substituted by the language of censorious red tape.
Despite its historical framework (driven home forcefully in a scene where the filmmakers list all the political upheavals they have lived through, including decolonisation, three democracies, and three dictatorships), TALKING ABOUT TREES is a remarkably joyful film that revels in the movie-fuelled optimism of its protagonists. Gasmelbari was inspired to make the film after he visited one of the group's mobile screenings. The event was beset by disasters, from car breakdowns to unsuitable weather conditions, but the stubborn dedication of Shaddad and co. impressed Gasmelbari. "I thought, I want to make a film not just about cinema, but also about this capacity to regenerate hope out of nothing."
In many ways, TALKING ABOUT TREES is a follow-up to Gasmelbari's doc short SUDAN'S FORGOTTEN FILMS (2018), which centred on the two men striving to preserve the country's national film archive. Prior to the making of TALKING, Gasmelbari played a crucial role in acquiring the films of the SFG from the various basements and university archives in which they lay gathering dust. He (along with producer Marie Balducci) also helped secure a restoration deal with the Arsenal Institute of Film and Video Art. Clips from the restored films are interwoven into TALKING, providing a gorgeous illustration for its protagonists' reference-rich banter about film craft.
By a happy coincidence, several of these films, including Shaddad's THE HUNTING PARTY (1964) and Mahdi's THE STATION (1989) are also playing in the Berlinale's FORUM EXPANDED section. Gasmelbari appreciates the cross-generational poetics of unveiling TALKING ABOUT TREES to the world along with the lineage from which it arises. Honouring the work of the SFG filmmakers allows him to redress the erasure they have suffered over the years – not just from the authorities, but also from his own generation of filmmakers. "They want to appear as if they've come from nowhere," he says, "so they kill their parents."

OutcomesMTM makes Technology Fast 500 list
A West Des Moines medication therapy management firm is one of the fastest growing technology companies in North America, a new report shows.
OutcomesMTM ranked 137th on consulting firm Deloitte's 2014 Technology Fast 500 list. The company helps customers manage medication to prevent drug interactions.
Deloitte said OutcomesMTM has seen revenue growth of 837 percent from 2009 to 2013.
OutcomesMTM was the only Iowa business to make the 2014 list.
To rank, companies must have their intellectual property or technology they sell to customers. A company also has to have been in business for at least five years and had at least $5 million in revenue in 2013.
Midwest cleans up in best cities for entrepreneurs report
Multiple cities represented the Midwest well in a report of the best places for young entrepreneurs, but Iowa was nowhere to be found.
Wisconsin, Nebraska and Minnesota each had cities rank in the top 10 of the report, compiled by personal finance website NerdWallet.
Madison, Wis., ranked second behind Arlington, Va., which NerdWallet listed No. 1 for its "large young and well-educated population."
Lincoln, Neb., and Minneapolis took the third and fourth spots, respectively. Omaha ranked 10th.
NerdWallet determined the best cities by looking at access to funding, the local economy and other factors.
"Funding, mentorship, networking opportunities and a city's affordability all play pivotal roles in the success of a new small business," NerdWallet said in the report.
Madison, for instance, had one of the better per-person funding amounts, with small business loans coming in at $799 per loan. Lincoln's was $819 per loan, the highest per capita rate.
Minneapolis ranked high because it has a large, young population, low unemployment rate and high number of businesses per 100 people. That means young entrepreneurs would have a lot of opportunities to network with business professionals, NerdWallet said.
