Compensation for Delay in Possession Cases in Real Estate: Sushma Buildtech Ltd. v. Jagsukhbir Kaur, 2020
Libertatem News Network
The First Appeal was preferred by the Appellant (Sushma Buildtech Ltd.) against the order dated 05.03.2020, passed by the Hon'ble State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Punjab, wherein the Complainant was granted interest @ 9% p.a. on the amount invested by her for the entire period of default in the handover of possession, as agreed between the parties under the Buyer's Agreement. The Impugned Order allowed the Developer to deduct/adjust the compensation that it had already paid to the Complainant at the agreed rate under the Buyer's Agreement.
The Developer, aggrieved by the order, challenged the same before the Hon'ble National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, New Delhi, which is the topmost Consumer Court in the country. The Hon'ble NCDRC had issued notice to the Complainant in the matter and also stayed the operation of the Impugned Order to the extent of compensation, subject to certain terms.
When the Appeal was finally heard at length by the Hon'ble NCDRC, it was of the opinion that the recent Judgement of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in the matter of Wg. Cdr. Arifur Rahman Khan and Aleya Sultana and Ors. vs. DLF Southern Homes Pvt. Ltd. (now known as BEGUR OMR Homes Pvt. Ltd.) in Civil Appeal No. 6239 of 2019 decided on 24.08.2020, squarely covered the matter and the compensation by way of interest @6% p.a. for the period of delay in possession along with the compensation in terms of the Buyer's Agreement which already stood paid to the Complainant ought to be awarded, in addition to the compensation for mental agony and litigation costs awarded by the Hon'ble SCDRC.
The counsels for the Developer argued that since the Complainant had herself restricted her claims by way of hand noting while accepting compensation as per the Buyer's Agreement, the same could not have been enhanced by the Hon'ble SCDRC and nothing more was payable to her beyond that. It was also argued that the Judgement in Arifur Rehman Khan's case (supra) was not fully applicable, since the Complainants therein had alleged multifold deficiencies and in the instant case, the only delay was alleged as a deficiency, which was also duly redressed as per agreed terms. It was further argued that in terms of the Judgement of the Hon'ble Apex Court in the matter of DLF Homes Panchkula Pvt. Ltd. Vs. D.S. Dhanda & Ors. vide order dated 10.05.2019 bearing Civil Appeal Nos. 4910-4941 of 2019, compensation could not have been awarded under multiple heads and therefore, compensation for mental agony must be set aside.
The Hon'ble NCDRC while partly agreeing with the Developer, directed compensation only by way of interest @ 6% p.a. for the period of default which was admitted in the documents on record. This appears to be setting a new norm for the real estate industry in so far as compensation for delay in possession cases is concerned. The benchmark may be difficult for Developers to pay in the already cash strapped real estate market, which has been burdened with COVID-19 ramifications like all other sectors. However, if there is a delay, the courts are bound to redress the same. The question remains if the quantum of such compensation can be alike in all cases of delay or will it depend on the facts and evidence of loss in each case.
The Developer Sushma Buildtech Ltd. was represented by Shankar & Associates through Mr. Arjun Jain & Ms. Anushree Narain, Advocates.

George Stevens Jr. memoir, 'My Place in the Sun,' out in May
NEW YORK (AP) — The founder of the American Film Institute and son of Oscar winning director George Stevens has a memoir coming out next year. George Stevens Jr.'s "My Place in the Sun" will be published May 17.
"My great-grandmother was an actress born in San Francisco during the Civil War who started five generations of Stevenses in show business," Stevens, 89, said in a statement Wednesday. "I've had a fascinating life working at the crossroads of Hollywood and Washington with captivating people. I'm a storyteller and this was an opportunity I couldn't resist."
Stevens' father was known for such classics as "Shane," Woman of the Year" and "A Place In the Sun," from which the book gets its title. George Stevens Jr. started out as a production assistant on his father's movie, produced documentaries for the United States Information Agency in the 1960s and was the founding director of the American Film Institute, which began in 1967. In the 1970s, he helped create the Kennedy Center Honors, lifetime achievement awards for the arts held each year in Washington, D.C.

The new Cross Controller DLC is now out for LittleBigPlanet 2 but some users have been having issues getting it to work properly.
Follow our steps and see if we can help you out.
Download the LBP 2 Cross-Controller unlock from the PlayStation Network store.
After the pack has been downloaded, click on the bubble under your game menu (just like you would install any other downloaded item). At this point, it will prompt you to hook up your PlayStation Vita and run the content manager. Hook up your PlayStation Vita to your PS3 via USB. Once the systems are connected, click on "content manager" on your Vita. From there, follow the steps to connect your PS3 to your Vita and install the LBP 2 Cross-Controller content on your Vita. Once this is completed, you can disconnect your Vita from your PS3 and close the Content Manager.
You will note that a bubble is still on your PS3 for the LBP 2 Cross-Controller add-on. Click on the bubble and it will now install on your PS3.
Now you will need to go on your PS3 and launch LittleBigPlanet 2. If you have not already done so, a patch will be downloaded and installed (about 1GB) for the Cross-Controller compatibility.
Follow the on-screen instructions and click "next". The Vita and PS3 should start communicating automatically. An app of 468MB will need to download and install on your Vita from the Remote Play Cross-Controller screen. This should happen automatically if you have followed all the other steps.
At this time, everything is ready for you to start playing. Hopefully you left your PS3 as it was. If not, make sure you're on LBP 2 on your PS3 and follow the steps mentioned before, once again to go to the "Cross-Controller" section of the game. If it's already there, you should see a "remote play" screen.
Now, go back to your PlayStation Vita and launch the LBP 2 cross-controller app from the Live Area. If everything is set up correctly, it will go right into the game and you can start playing.
If, after all of this, you are still having issues, then you may need to tweak your network connections on the PS3 and the PS Vita. If you followed the Remote Play guide we linked to earlier, you should be halfway there.
Once you've set the Primary and Secondary DNS on your PS3 (we use Primary 8.8.8.8 | Secondary 4.2.2.2), go to your network connection settings on your Vita and do the same there.
You have to not use the easy settings and use the custom settings. 1st thing you need to know is the IP set-up of your network. Look on the XMB of the PS3 when it is connected and look at Settings >> Network Settings >> Settings and Connection Status List. It will list what your current IP address is as well as other info. Make a note of that, your default router's address, and your DNS information. Hit circle to back up one step and then go to Internet Connection Settings. Once selected, you will have to sign out.
Scan for your router and then select it.
The security is based on what you are using for your router so that is specific to you.
Next is the IP Address Setting.
Select 'Manual' and then on the next page you will need the info you should have wrote down earlier but change the last digit of the IP address.
Save your connection settings and exit.
For the PS Vita you should be connecting to th3e same network so the same basic information applies. You should be able to leave the IP address set to automatic but you'll need to make sure the DNS server addresses are the same. Go to your network settings on the PS Vita and check the advanced settings for your home network.
Set the Primary and Secondary DNS addresses to use the same as the PS3 and you should be good to go.
If you are still having issues, post below and we will try to help you out.

Key Note Address by President Isaias Afwerki
Admin 11:14 AM Eritrea, Isaias Afwerki, News, Speech
Distinguished Participants of this Congress,
Honourable Invited Guests,
Allow me first to express, at this auspicious moment, my warmest congratulations to all members of the National Confederation of Eritrean Workers (NCEW).
This Congress is taking place, if only by happenstance, at a time when Eritrea has just celebrated the 25th anniversary of its (post-independence) nation building journey. As such, and even as we pay tribute to the long and proud history of struggle of Eritrean workers, it is imperative and timely to ask what the NCEW has achieved in this past quarter of a century. Where does the NCEW want to go and how will it proceed in the years ahead?
These questions are not pertinent to the National Confederation of Eritrean Workers only. They are equally relevant to various government bodies, social associations, corporations and different enterprises. And beyond national entities, the subject matter is also relevant to our close and distant external partners. In the event, these issues will require objective and profound assessment.
The vision and strategy of nation building that we have tenaciously pursued in the past quarter century include:
Ensuring sustainable improvements in the quality of life of our citizens, and, the maintenance and preservation of this task as a central goal or objective;
Increasing productivity and output for genuine economic growth and prosperity;
Building extensive infrastructure, with even and fair spatial distribution, in all sectors (roads, ports, airports, water systems, electricity, transport, health and education, manufacturing, services… etc.) so as to pave the ground and stimulate overall productivity and economic growth;
The creation of extensive employment opportunities in all sectors, industries and enterprises in accordance with their respective potential and comparative advantages;
To build efficient/effective and clean institutions in phases;
Above all, to cultivate, organize and enhance a professional, experienced and highly disciplined labour force in all sectors, industries and enterprises.
How many of the visions, strategies and plans spelled out above have we achieved in the past quarter century against the backdrop of a devastated, literally below zero, economic reality that we inherited and that was further compounded by limited, underdeveloped and unexploited domestic endowments, as well as the relentless national security and economic hostilities and subversions that were employed against us through different forms and facades. These intertwined phenomena will require sober and objective appraisal that is not tainted by emotional or presumptuous approaches.
Our domestic reality and its checkered trajectory cannot of course be seen in isolation. It is indeed influenced by global and regional realities and developments. Our approach has consequently remained comprehensive and holistic.
The spiraling turmoil, devastation, and economic suffering that is afflicting various parts of the world today, and especially our region, is too palpable to merit further elaboration. These crises are inextricably linked with acts of those who claim or believed that their camp "has triumphed" after the end of the Cold War and who thereby aspired to create a uni-polar world.
Indeed, periodic and appalling statistical explanations that accentuate prevailing acute economic polarizations in society: commonly described as the 1% against the 99% - (in reality, the ratio is 0.001% vs 99.999%); statistical data circulated by Oxfam recently that amplifies "the wealth of a handful billionaires amid the impoverishment of billions of people"; or, other anecdotal instances such as the fact that "the wealth of the four richest people in Indonesia is equivalent to the aggregate income of 100 million citizens in the country" all corroborate the imperative for profound and serious appraisal of global realities.
Demonization of all arguments and concepts that challenge the validity/ideology of the prevailing global order; weakening and vilification of workers' movements and other forces that seek social justice; exaltation of speculative practices of international banks; shrinking of the middle class even in the industrialized nations (known as the 1st World); increased marginalization of countries (mostly found in Africa) that are in the early stages of economic development resulting in their confinement to the production of raw materials and their attendant deprivation from developing their infrastructure, industries and modern services; ensuring that these countries are governed by corrupt and pliable regimes that serve "external" agendas,… etc., are some of the tools routinely invoked to secure the pre-eminence of the uni-polar international system. Other more perplexing practices include inducement of debilitating brain drain and migration of the professional and educated segments in these countries, while manual labourers without the requisite expertise are not spared and exposed to "modern slavery".
In a nutshell, the scheme involves the unfair exploitation of resources, the denial of jobs and job opportunities to augment the number of destitute populations who survive on charities. The climax of this "film" or "operation" is shedding crocodile tears of "benign concern". These are some of the sad hallmarks of global realities in the past quarter century. These trends warrant a more profound and objective appraisal that is corroborated by quantitative data more and beyond the succinct and general description that I have tried to outline.
Our ongoing endeavours to chart out our future developmental path – and the associated questions of: from where we have started? Where we are now? Where we want to be? And how we want to reach there? – are naturally predicated on detailed and comprehensive evaluation of the domestic and global realities and trends that I have described above.
Perhaps we cannot expect the current Congress of the NCEW to examine all these issues exhaustively to come up with comprehensive answers. Nonetheless, I hope and trust that the Congress will map out a road map for enhancing its role in future programmes geared towards the achievement of our domestic priorities; especially in regard to the augmentation of job opportunities, work ethic and labour productivity in all sectors, industries and enterprises as well as in the cultivation and consolidation of external ties and solidarity for sharing experiences. Let me conclude by wishing you success in all your proceedings.
Victory to the Masses!

Q: SAS proc genmod with clustered, multiply imputed data I am seeking to obtain risk ratio estimates from multiply imputed, cluster-correlated data in SAS using log binomial regression using SAS Proc Genmod. I've been able to calculate risk ratio estimates for the raw (non-MI) data, but it seems that the program is hitting a snag in generating an output dataset for me to read into Proc Mianalyze.
I am including a repeated subjects statement so that SAS will use robust variance estimation. Without the "repeated subjects" statement, the ODS Output statement seems to work just fine; however, once I include the "repeated subjects" statement, I receive an warning message that my output dataset was not generated.
I am open to other approaches and suggestions to generate risk ratio estimates using this data if the genmod/mianalyze combination is not appropriate, but would like to see if I can get this to work! I would prefer SAS, if possible, due to license access issues to other programs, like Stata and SUDAAN. My code is below, where "seroP" is my binomial outcome, "int" is the binomial independent variable of interest (intervention received vs not received), "tf5" is a binomial covariate, age is a continuous covariate, and village specifies the cluster:
Proc GenMod data=sc.wide_mip descending ; by _Imputation_;
Class int (ref='0') tf5 (ref='0') village /param=ref ;
weight weight;
Model seroP= int tf5 age  /
dist=bin Link=logit ;
repeated subject=village/ type=unstr;
estimate 'Beta' int 1 -1/exp;
ods output ParameterEstimates=sc.seroP;
Run;

proc mianalyze parms =sc.seroP;
class int  tf5  ;
modeleffects int tf5 age village  ;
run;

Thank you for your help!

A: The short answer is to add an option "PRINTMLE" at the end of the "Repeated" statement. But the code you posted here may not produce what you actually want.  So, following is a longer answer:
1.The program below is based on SAS 9.3 (or newer versions) for Windows. If you are using an older version, the coding might be different.
2.For PROC MIANALYZE, three ODS tables from PROC GENMOD are required instead of one, namely, 1) the parameter estimate table (_est); 2) the covariance table (_covb); and 3) the parameter index table (parminfo). The first line of the PROC MIANALYZE statement should look like:
PROC MIANALYZE parms = ~_est covb = ~_covb parminfo=parminfo;

whereas ~_est refers to an ODS parameter table, and ~_covb refers to an ODS covariance table.
There are different types of ODS parameter estimate and covariance tables. The sign "~" should be replaced by a specific set of ODS tables, which will be discussed in the following part.
3.From PROC GENMOD, three different sets of ODS parameter and covariance tables can be generated.
3a) The first set of tables is from a non-repeated model (i.e., without the "repeated" statement). In your case, it looks like:
Proc GenMod data=sc.wide_mip descending ; by _Imputation_;
…
MODEL seroP= int tf5 age/dist=bin Link=logit COVB; /*adding the option COVB*/
/*repeated subject=village/ type=unstr;*/
/*Note that the above line has been changed to comments*/
…
ODS OUTPUT
    /*the estimates from a non-repeated model*/
    ParameterEstimates=norepeat_est
    /*the covariance from a non-repeated model*/
    Covb = nonrepeat_covb
    /*the indices of the parameters*/
    ParmInfo=parminfo;
Run;

Of note, 1) the option COVB is added in the MODEL statement, so as to obtain the ODS covariance table. 2) The "Repeated" statement is put as comments. 3) The "~_est" table is named "nonrepeat_est". Similarly, the table "~_covb" is named "nonrepeat_covb.
3b) The second set of tables contains model-based estimates from a repeated model. In your case, it looks like:
…
MODEL seroP= int tf5 age/dist=bin Link=logit;
REPEATED subject=village/ type=un MODELSE MCOVB;/*options added*/
…
ODS OUTPUT
    /*the model-based estimates from a repeated model*/
    GEEModPEst=mod_est
    /*the model-based covariance from a repeated model*/
    GEENCov= mod_covb
    /*the indices of the parameters*/
    parminfo=parminfo;
Run;

In the "REPEATED" statement, the option MODELSE is to generate model-based parameter estimates, and MCOVB is to generate the model based covariance. Without these options, the corresponding ODS tables (i.e., GEEModPEst and GEENCov) will not be generated. Note that the ODS table names are different from the previous case. In this case, the tables are GEEModPEst and GEENCov. In the previous case (a non-repeated model), the tables were ParameterEstimates and COVB. Here, the ~_est table is named "mod_est", standing for the model-based estimates. Similarly, the ~_covb table is named "mod_covb". The ParmInfo table is the same as in the previous model.
3c) A third set contains empirical estimates, also from a repeated model. The empirical estimates are also called ROBUST estimates. Sounds like the results here are what you want. It looks like:
…
MODEL seroP= int tf5 age/dist=bin Link=logit;
REPEATED subject=village/ type=un ECOVB;/*option changed*/
…
ODS OUTPUT
    /*the empirical(ROBUST) estimates from a repeated model*/
    GEEEmpPEst=emp_est
    /*the empirical(ROBUST) covariance from a repeated model*/
    GEERCov= emp_covb
    /*the indices of the parameters*/
    parminfo=parminfo;
Run;

As you may have noticed, in the "Repeated" statement, the option is changed to ECOVB. That way, the empirical covariance table will be generated. Nothing is required to generate the empirical parameter estimates, as they are always produced by the procedure. The ParmInfo table is the same as in the previous cases.
4.Putting together, actually you can generate the three sets of tables at the same time. The only thing is that, an option "PRINTMLE" should be added, so as to generate estimates from a non-repeated model when repeated terms are in place. The combined program looks like the following:
Proc GenMod data=sc.wide_mip descending ; by _Imputation_;
Class int (ref='0') tf5 (ref='0') village /param=ref ;
weight weight;
Model seroP= int tf5 age  /
dist=bin Link=logit COVB; /*COVB to have non-repeated model covariance*/
repeated subject=village/ type=UN MODELSE PRINTMLE MCOVB ECOVB;/*all options*/
estimate 'Beta' int 1 -1/exp;

ODS OUTPUT
    /*the estimates from a non-repeated model*/
    ParameterEstimates=norepeat_est
    /*the covariance from a non-repeated model*/
    Covb = nonrepeat_covb
    /*the indices of the parameters*/
    ParmInfo=parminfo

    /*the model-based estimates from a repeated model*/
    GEEModPEst=mod_est
    /*the model-based covariance from a repeated model*/
    GEENCov= mod_covb

    /*the empirical(ROBUST) estimates from a repeated model*/
    GEEEmpPEst=emp_est
    /*the empirical(ROBUST) covariance from a repeated model*/
    GEERCov= emp_covb
    ;
 Run;

/*Analyzing non-repeated results*/
PROC MIANALYZE parms = norepeat_est covb = norepeat_covb parminfo=parminfo;
class int  tf5  ;
modeleffects int tf5 age village  ;
run;

/*Analyzing model-based results*/
PROC MIANALYZE parms = mod_est covb = mod_covb parminfo=parminfo;
class int  tf5  ;
modeleffects int tf5 age village  ;
run;

/*Analyzing empirical(ROBUST) results*/
PROC MIANALYZE parms = emp_est covb = emp_covb parminfo=parminfo;
class int  tf5  ;
modeleffects int tf5 age village  ;
run;

Hopefully it helps.  For further reading:

Is InstaNatural Scar Gel the best scar removal product?

Is InstaNatural Scar Gel Cream the best scar removal product?
In March 2013 I had an accident with hot water, which left 2 visible scars on my right wrist. They don't look very pretty and even though noone probably even notices them, then I know and see them there all the time and so I have been looking for the best scar removal product to get rid of these marks.
Almost a two months ago I was offered an opportunity to try cruelty free InstaNatural Scar Gel Cream, which is made with the best ingredients designed to give results, including Epidermal Growth Factor, Fucoxanthin, Astaxanthin, Green Tea & Gotu Kola. InstaNatural Scar Gel Cream is made in the USA and it doesn't contain harmful parabens, sulfates or alcohols.
InstaNatural Scar Gel Cream is promised to help to diminish and erase scars over time by making them less visible. It is perfect for surgical scars, acne scars, burns, or other dark spots. You have to use this gel twice a day to soften the scar in color and watch it fade away.
InstaNatural Scar Gel Cream comes in a 30ml plastic bottle with a convenient pump. The product itself is brown gel with rather runny consistency. The gel has mild scent that lasts on my skin for a couple of hours. This scar gel seems so stain my skin around the scar.
I had VERY high hopes on InstaNatural Scar Gel, because of all those raving Amazon reviews where people commented that this stuff worked in just 2 weeks!?!? Too bad I didn't notice much results in two weeks time, but as a experienced beauty blogger, I know that you can't really tell if the product works as promised in just two weeks, because sometimes it just takes a little longer to see the result … So I continued using it.
I have been using InstaNatural Scar Gel Cream for 1.5 months twice a day (okay I have used just once a day a couple of times, because I just forgot to apply it 😛 ). As you can see there isn't much difference on before and after photos, however if I touch my scar then I can feel that it is much softer than before and if the smaller scar had reddish edges before, then now the scar has more even color. What was weird with this product was that after I had used it for a week my scars started itching 😀 – it was the same feeling that you sometimes get when your wounds are healing.
Have you tried InstaNatural Scar Gel Cream?
I can't say because i've never tried it and can only speak from my point of view (and most black folks) per se, hen we get a scar it always leaves a hypertrophic scar that turns dark because of the melanin in our skin, we always use Metipac scar tape flatten and lighten our scars, it has silicone and hydroquoine and sticks like crazy until you take it off.
I have heard of Metipac or some similar products, but I've never tried them.
It's annoying when a product doesn't really work. 🙁 I love Bio Oil for scar removal.
I haven't tried Bio Oil, but I probably have to give it a try! Thanks for the suggestion!
Also, there are many other scar gels, so you might want to check them out too.

Woman who stabbed abusive boxer ex boyfriend to death jailed for eight years
BREAKING: Woman jailed for 8 years for killing boxer boyfriend
Kayley Mahood was convicted of manslaughter, but found not guilty of murdering Oliver O'Toole.
Kayley Mahood killed Oliver O'Toole on July 25 last year (Picture: PA/Staffordshire Police/SWNS) A woman who killed her abusive boyfriend has been sent to prison for eight years.Rebecca Lanette Taylor was arrested after the incident in Crockett, Texas.Julia Lee Choi, has been stalking the CEO of Apple, Tim Cook since October 2020, according to court documents.TikTok mom slammed after making 5-year-old son run in 104 degree heat The video has over 344,100 views so far, with its creator noting in the comments that this was just a joke.
Kayley Mahood was cleared of murdering Oliver O'Toole, 31, but jurors found her guilty of manslaughter on Tuesday.She stabbed him once through the heart but had claimed she acted in self-defence at her home in Burton-on-Trent on July 25 last year.The mother laughed at her remark, but Taylor allegedly then replied she had $250,000 in her car.Following the sentencing on Thursday, relatives of O'Toole, including his mother, said their family felt 'disappointed and let down' by the outcome.On Monday, Santa Clara County Superior Court obtained a restraining order against Choi on behalf of Cook and all Apple employees.They said: 'We feel that had this been my son standing in the dock, the court and society would be judging it differently.The mother called the police and Taylor was arrested on January 18, and released on a $50,000 bond.'This is yet another life that has been lost to knife crime and domestic violence."Took a screenshot and set as Lock Screen just to make sure he knew I knew.
'If you choose to pick up a knife then you have already made up your mind to cause serious harm, even death to that person.Mahood insisted she acted in self defence (Picture: PA) 'One day, she will walk free and will continue with her life.My son will not.His three young children will never have their daddy to look up to and share their lives.' It was also alleged Mahood had 'abandoned' Mr O'Toole as he bled to death outside their home as she told witnesses he had 'done it to himself'."I never thought of doing this," one wrote.
Police body-cam footage showed , in which she has a cut over her left eye.Stafford Crown Court had heard the couple had a 'tempestuous' relationship – with violence by both parties.Mahood said she had been punched in the face and suffered an eye wound before knifing dad-of-three O'Toole.Rachel Brand QC, defending, suggested the moderate force used to inflict the fatal injury suggested the defendant had acted out of fear.But prosecutors claimed she had intended to kill or cause really serious harm.She then went through a few other applications on his device, including Snapchat, TikTok, and his text messages.
Crown lawyer Caroline Goodwin QC explained that Mr O'Toole collapsed in the back yard after being seen slumped on a wall.Detective Chief Inspector Dan Ison, of Staffordshire Police, said: 'I welcome the judge's sentence.'I know no sentence or time in prison can ever bring back a loved one and would like to reiterate our sincere condolences to Oliver's family and friends.'

-Weak against earth magic (50%) And how much damage can it take before breaking? From any type of magic I mean.
Good job on missing the part where i put the diameter. Get your eyes checked. Otherwise I edited it.

Q: Why the rotation of two equal surfaces (with different shape) do not give the same volume I will explain my question with an example:
Let's take two surfaces that have the same area:
SURFACE A
$$ f(x) = x, x \in [0,6] $$

SURFACE B
$$ f(x) = 3, x \in [0,6] $$

Both surfaces are equal:
Surface A, Sa = 18
Surface B, Sb = 18

But now if we rotate those two surfaces around the (for example) x axis.

We obtain two different volumes:
Volume A, Va = 72*pi
Volume B, Vb = 54*pi

I've no problem to apply the formula, but I found the result a bit counter-intuitive. We apply the "same" area (with different shape) around an axis an we obtain a different volume.
Why is that (intuitively) ?

A: There is a result that says that equal areas rotated about axes an equal distance away from the center-of-mass (or centroid) of the areas, produce equal volumes. If the area is not distributed equally with respect to the distance from the axis of rotation, you will get different volumes.

A: Even though they have the same area, their centers of mass are very different, which should be the base for comparison. The area with the center of mass further away from the y-axis will travel around the y-axis in a bigger circle, hence collecting more volume.
Since the triangle has its center further than that of the rectangle, it has bigger volume from the rotation. In fact, the resulting volume is proportional to the circumference of the circle traveled by the center. For the example given, the center of mass is 4 units from the y-axis for the triangle and 3 units for the rectangle. Therefore, their ratio of the rotating volumes is 4:3.

Smurf Village: Spanish Town, Juzcar, Painted Blue To Promote Movie (PHOTOS)
By Timothy Stenovec
Moorish architecture, sherry, flamenco and the famous beaches along the Costa del Sol are just a few of the attractions in the Andalusia region of Southern Spain.
And now it can add Smurf Village to that list.
On Thursday morning, Júzcar, a small town near Málaga, became the world's first Smurf Village.
Sony, the studio behind "The Smurfs 3D", chose Juzcar as the location for the film's premiere and, to celebrate, painted the town blue.
It took a dozen painters and over 1,000 gallons (4,000 liters) of blue paint to transform the village's historic white buildings into blue Smurf houses.
But don't worry if you missed the premiere. You have until September to visit the Smurf Village. After that, Sony will repaint the buildings back to the original white.
Check out some of the pictures and vote for which ones you think are the most Smurf-tastic!

My work is influenced by traditional Asian ceramics, contemporary American design, typography, and street art. I try to create forms that are seductive, clean, balanced and graceful. Using typographical elements as well as references to graffiti, I create abstract compositions on my forms that mimic typography. The surface textures I create serve to exaggerate the contours of the form and help guide the eye around it. They invite the viewer to pick up the piece and investigate it. I often play with the boundaries of a pot, etching through the lip and into the foot, leaving surprises for the handler under and inside the vessel. My forms are made of mid-range porcelain and are fired to cone 6. They are both functional and decorative.

A critical priority for many of our customers is system redundancy. Our "hot" redundant application utilizes two systems, which communicate in real-time and provide the benefit of load splitting. Since both computers are used simultaneously, most functions can be performed on either machine. The quality of the data synchronization is excellent and the data transfer is bi-directional.
The n-way redundancy feature allows for the deployment of on-site, primary and secondary database servers that communicate over a dedicated network connection to remote servers located at an off-site disaster recovery center or separate monitoring center. Our redundancy process updates all servers in real-time. This replication option allows for bi-directional communication so that data is transferred from the remote database back to the primary database as needed. Near 100% uptime is expected with this configuration.

Submitted Photo Tri-America Contractors check presentation.
On Monday, local officials, along with officials from Fluor B&W Portsmouth, attended brief ceremonies as nearly $70,000 was awarded. Grants were awarded to Patter Fam Sauces and Tri-America Contractors of Wheelersburg, to aid in expansion efforts.
Sam and Joyce Peters have owned and operated Patter Fam Sauces, since 2009.
"When we started the company, I made a Jerk Sauce that people fell in love with; people started calling me at home wanting to buy it. I started making it on my stove and the next thing I know I'm spending eight hours a day making it," Sam Peters said.
At that point, Sam Peters said that, with a lot of encouragement from family and friends, they decided to start a small business.
"Since that time, our sauces have won over 50 national and international awards. We've grown very quickly because of that," Peters said.
He said the opportunity arose to start a bottling facility, with a target towards small businesses.
With the grant received from the Fluor B&W Portsmouth Opportunity Fund and the Joint Economic Development Initiative of Southern Ohio (JEDISO) Patter Fam Sauces was able to expand to a space that will include a bottling factory.
"We plan to use it [grant funds] to purchase a key piece of equipment for our expansion plans. In addition to allowing us to expand our market across the country, our expanded facility will fill a local need to provide local food processors with a place to manufacture their products," Peters said.
He said once the factory us up and running it will be a, "resource local farmers can come to. At the end of harvest season, they have crops leftover. They may like to turn that into tomato sauce or other kinds of sauces. Instead of having to throw that into the compose heap. They can now bottle it and sell it at local farmers markets," Peters said.
Peters said once the factory is up and running they expect to hire 8-12 employees who will work three 12 hours shifts Monday – Wednesday. He said one day they hope to grow to the point where they can add Thursday- Saturday shifts.
"We're excited what the future holds for us," Peters said.
Tri-America Contractors, Inc., 392 Keyport Rd. Wheelersburg also received a grant.
The grants are part of Fluor-B&W's economic development initiatives of the company's Community Commitment Plan for the four-county region (Pike, Scioto, Jackson and Ross) surrounding the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant site.

    pcap_loop(pcap_handle, 5, packet_handler, NULL);
    pcap_close(pcap_handle);
}

Unfortunately, no arp packets are caught (wireshark shows me that there is arp traffic!). If I change the filter to "ip" packets are caught.. Any ideas?
regards

A: I would change the pcap_open_live() call to
pcap_handle = pcap_open_live(d->name, 65535, 1, 1000, errbuf);

On several platforms, including Windows, the mechanism libpcap/WinPcap uses buffers packets up as they pass the filter, and only deliver packets to the application when the buffer fills up or the timeout expires; this is done to deliver multiple packets in one kernel->user transition, to reduce the overhead of packet capture with high volumes of traffic.
You were supplying a timeout value of 0; on several platforms, including Windows, this means "no timeout", so packets won't be delivered until the buffer fills up.  ARP packets are small, and the buffer is big enough that it could take many ARP packets to fill it up; ARP packets are also relatively rare, so it could take a long time for enough ARP packets to arrive to fill it up.  IP packets are bigger, sometimes much bigger, and are more frequent, so the buffer probably doesn't take too long to fill up.
A timeout value of 1000 is a timeout of 1 second, so the packets should show up within a second; that's the timeout value tcpdump uses.  You can also use a lower value.

Atlético Madrid's squad depth: Midfielders
Atlético are pushing for reinforcements in midfield — and need them.
By Robbie Dunne@robbiejdunne Updated Sep 23, 2020, 10:17pm CEST
Share All sharing options for: Atlético Madrid's squad depth: Midfielders

After taking a look at Atlético Madrid's defensive unit, we turn our attention to midfield.
Diego Simeone's engine room has underperformed in recent seasons. In theory, he has three excellent starters, but they often don't offer enough in attack after taking care of their defensive duties.
Simeone continues to opt for a 4-4-2 that morphs into a 4-3-3 in attack. Three of the midfielders in that flat midfield four are Koke, Saúl Ñíguez, and Thomas Partey. Héctor Herrera is another option, although he hasn't made an impact in Madrid and could leave this summer. Simeone has turned Marcos Llorente, previously a holding midfielder, into a second striker. That leaves Atlético threadbare in the middle of the field and in need of replacements.
Simeone's main objective is to get Saúl back to his best. At 25, he should be running this midfield, and instead he seems to be moving backwards. He had his most productive season last year with six goals, but that doesn't tell the bigger story.
Saúl's best position might be on the right of midfield, where he can become the buccaneering attacking midfielder in a 4-3-3 before tucking back in to become a more solid option on the wing in a 4-4-2. Last season, he was moved around too often to ever really find his groove. He was played at left-back, centre-back and everywhere in the middle without ever finding a home in a strange season for Atlético. With more options, Simeone will have a clearer vision of his own tactics and that will free Saúl to return to the form he showed earlier in his 20s.
Gone are the days of double-digit Koke assists in a season. He went from 2012/13 to 2015/16 with no less than 10 assists in each of those seasons. Last season, he had just five and the trend has been negative over the last three years. That speaks to a wider creativity and finishing issue in Atlético's tactics, but the signing of Luis Suárez might change that. Koke is another player who will be freed to attack on the left of midfield with a more solid base.
Arsenal want Thomas Partey, but the Premier League club have balked at his €50 million release clause. The Ghanaian has evolved into a starter under Simeone and while not classified as a defensive midfielder, he is often left on his own at the base of midfield. His ambitious passing is a boon for Atlético, but they have missed the control Rodri imposes on a game.
Three academy players — Óscar Clemente, Toni Moya and Rodrigo Riquelme — played a total of 21 minutes combined last season in LaLiga. It's hard to see any of them breaking into Atlético's plans this season (indeed, Clemente signed for Las Palmas earlier this summer). After that, it was up to Yannick Carrasco, Thomas Lemar or Vitolo to play as the wide midfielder in a 4-4-2.
That's why Simeone needs signings and a striker, so he can balance the team.
Possible reinforcement
Atlético are interested in Espanyol's Marc Roca. Goal's Ruben Uria has reported that no bid, either formal or informal, has been made. The Spanish midfielder is 23 and could play in the Champions League. Instead, he remains in Espanyol's squad as they fight for promotion after relegation from the Primera last season. There are still two weeks in the transfer market and it would be a surprise if Espanyol can hold on to the player until then.
Whether Atlético can muster up the funds for a transfer remains to be seen, but Roca would be an incredible signing to either replace Partey long-term or play alongside him in Simeone's preferred 4-4-2.
Another player of interest is Arsenal's Lucas Torreira. The Uruguayan is not in Mikel Arteta's plans and could be loaned before the end of the transfer window. Simeone wants the player and he might be a perfect foil for Partey at the base of midfield, freeing both the Ghanaian to be more ambitious going forward — and Saúl as well.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are offloading players by the busload this summer. It leaves their squads in an unbalanced state. Atlético, so far, have held on to the players they need to hold on to and reinforcements could be on their way. This year in LaLiga, it might be more about being less-bad than the rest as opposed to being brilliant in order to win. Atlético are a midfielder, a left-back and a striker away from being a genuine threat to the big two. One or two midfielders could arrive before the end of the transfer market. Roca would be the preferred option for fans, but Torreria would add a defensive element not seen since Gabi's departure.

Cronulla coach Shane Flanagan is under investigation after it was discovered that he communicated with the club during his 2014 suspension, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
Flanagan was suspended for 12 months following an investigation into the club's supplements program and was to have no contact with the club or its staff, including players, during that time.
The same investigation saw a $1 million fine handed down to the Sharks, with $400,000 of that suspended.
Reports say that emails and texts were exchanged between Flanagan and the Sharks concerning the 2015 season, when Flanagan would be free to coach again.
If Flanagan is found to have broken the rules regarding his suspension then he may face another ban, with the Sharks facing another large financial penalty.

Multiple "Super-Spreaders"
A "super-spreader" infected 39 people and sent 170 others to hospitals under suspicions of having contracted COVID-19 in Sikandaria Colony in Lahore. The patient, a laborer, had traveled to Karachi to visit a family member and complained of flu-like symptoms and dry cough upon returning. Due to being illiterate, the patient was generally unaware of information regarding the virus as well as precautionary measures and continued his visits with relatives and neighbors. Police have sealed around 60 houses, and sealed the colony, declaring it a "red zone".
Similar incidents of multiple "super-spreaders" are cropping up across Punjab, Recently, 4 people with a history of traveling infected 50 others in Gujrat.
Officers Test Positive
7 police officers in Karachi tested positive for coronavirus and have been sent to isolation wards, according to a statement by Karachi police chief Ghulam Nabi Memon on Monday, April 13. The infected personnel were not assigned any lock-down duties and had likely contracted the virus at their homes. Masks, gloves and other precautionary SOPs are being observed by officers during the lock-down – the Karachi police chief also stated that officials may get a day off in consideration of their health.
Treatment for COVID-19
Researchers at the Dow University of Health Sciences (DUHS) in Sindh claim to have developed a low-risk and highly efficient immunoglobulin treatment for COVID-19 patients. The intravenous immunoglobulin was prepared using plasma donated by recovered patients. Laboratory testing has proven results, and researchers are now awaiting approval from the Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP) to conduct clinical trials.
Doctors Vulnerable
The Pakistan Medical Association (PMA) has insisted on the revision of current government policy which restricts the provision of personal protective equipment (PPE) to only those medics directly treating COVID-19 patients. The PMA cited the spread of the virus in Nishtar Medical Hospital in Multan that infected 38 medics including 17 doctors, which was traced to a doctor in the nephrology department who had treated an asymptomatic kidney patient. The PMA urged the government to supply N95 masks and PPE to all healthcare providers, stating that the healthcare sector will be dysfunctional if a large swathe of medics contracted the virus.
"Infected" Waste Unaddressed
Untreated waste from COVID-19 treatment & testing facilities, quarantine zones, isolation wards, and hospitals may contribute to the spread of the virus, experts warn. There is currently no SOP in place to treat or remove infected waste. Moreover, sanitary workers voice their concern over the lack of PPE, gloves, and masks, as removing infected waste may expose them to the virus, which may spread in crowded slum colonies where they reside.
Lock-Down Extended
The Punjab government has extended Section 144 for 2 more months due to a worrying increase in new cases of COVID-19 in the province as well as Rawalpindi. The provincial order also made evictions of tenants due to delay or non-payment of rent unlawful during the lock-down period. Under Section 144, a gathering of more than 5 persons are outlawed – Rawalpindi police have begun to crack down on offenders.
Inmates, Wardens Test Positive
6 prisoners and 2 wardens at the Central Jail Dera Ghazi Khan tested positive for COVID-19, according to jail officials. Samples for 13 other inmates have been sent for testing. The infected wardens have been shifted to Recep Tayyip Erdogan Hospital in Muzaffargarh, while the infected inmates have been quarantined in the prison. A 20-bed isolation facility has been set up at the Central Jail Dera Ghazi Khan.

England Always Dreaming
Author of a new book on '66 Mark Perryman explores for St George's Day the connections between English football's golden moment and national identity
In CLR James' magnificent book on Caribbean cricket Beyond a Boundary he criticises both liberal and socialist historians of 19th century England who can write books on the period entirely missing out any mention of the most famous Englishman of the era, cricketer WG Grace. Recently I was reminded of this by a spate of articles seeking to remind the Left that it ignores at its peril The English Question.
David Marquand manages to write a New Statesman essay on the subject without mentioning the most salient and obvious expression of Englishness at all, not once. Timothy Garton-Ash writes a similar piece for the Guardian choosing to ignore this most obvious of expression of Englishness too, though to be fair he does give rugby a passing mention. I am of course referring to football, a subject the political class wears as a badge of faux-authenticity without actually having the merest grasp of its meaning for a debate they now hold so dear.
My home town is Lewes in East Sussex. Home of Tom Paine, the Bloomsbury Group and Bonfire, you don't get much more traditionally English than this. Yet despite a spot of Saturday morning Morris Dancing outside The Volunteer St George's Day will pass by scarcely noticed (it's today in case you haven't).
This St George's Day is a tad special for those of a literary persuasion as it also marks Shakespeare's 400th anniversary. I'm not one for cultural relativism, I've as much time for the Bard as most but the most influential piece of writing in the English language isn't Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet or Midsummer Night's Dream. Instead it's a book written by committee in a room above a pub, The Freemason's Arms in Covent Garden. On 26th October 1863 the thirteen laws of football were codified in a single rulebook and adopted at the meeting that founded the world's first Football Association.
No, this isn't some misguided claim to England being the 'home of football', those days are long gone. Rather it is a means to understand how football frames both a brutish form of nationalism and the most popular version of internationalism. Sometimes at one and the same time. Football is the most global of sports because of its simplicity, its suitability to be played on almost any surface, with next to no equipment – 'jumpers for goalposts' will do – by bodies of any shape or size, and for the very few it is a route out of poverty from wherever they come. Football is both a global actor and a global subject. Football is played all over the world more or less according to those thirteen rules adopted more than 150 years. While our 'English' game couldn't be more globalised , the players, the managers, the owners, the shirts sponsors, the fans, the TV audience.
The two processes exist side-by-side, globalisation and localisation, occasionally in conflict but mostly not. What the commentariat fail to account for is how that co-existence and conflict become a lived experience, a subject of popular discourse. Take a traditional symbol of national identity, national dress. What might we imagine England's to be? A busby and red tunic? A Morris Dancer? A crusader complete with chainmail? Not bloody likely, ours has only one contender, a bri-nylon England football shirt with the Three Lions and that frankly embarrassing solitary gold star positioned over the left tit. An easy-looking group on paper to top at this summer's Euros and the St George Cross will be everywhere it isn't today. Saturday 25th June is pencilled in for a Group 16 game before the country goes expectation overboard ahead of the near-inevitable, but plucky, exit at the quarter-final stage Friday 1st July.
Five decades on from England's '66 golden moment and just the two semi-finals, don't mention either the score, how we lost, or to whom, on both occasions, please. But there's been one achievement of perhaps more significance than all this heaped up failure. The one and only World Cup England has hosted and the FA manage to get the effing flag wrong. That's right, check out 1966's World Cup Willie, the first-ever tournament mascot, and he's wearing a Union Jack waistcoat. Same flag all over the rest of the tournament publicity too. There's not a St George Cross, an English flag, to be seen anywhere. Today it is entirely different, this summer St George in England will be universal. Historian Eric Hobsbawm put it rather neatly to explain why; "An imagined community of millions seems more real as a team of named people". As a team England has failed ever since to come anywhere close to '66 but as a means of making England a nation for as long as our stay in a tournament football has no serious rival.
This gets us somewhere close to the core of the mythology of '66. England's singular footballing golden moment and the ensuing 50 'years of hurt' are too often treated in isolation from the broader actuality of national decline. A political class seduced by the apparent spoils neoliberalism while turning its back on a very English version of social-democracy, the post-war settlement of '45. A nation that looks back in anger to the era of great white hopes unsure of how this fits with the multicultural team and country we have become.
The commentariat, sparked by both the rampant success of the SNP and the forthcoming Euro-referendum pleads for an awakening of the English question. But where is their national narrative, what does would they start it with? 1966 was a year and a moment of English bliss that explains all that came after. A popular history of England that begins with sublime victory, ruling the world, team and crowd founded on deference followed by a seemingly irreversible period of decline and the 'hurt' this causes. Sounds familiar? Despite all those St George Cross flags bedecking England this summer to date none of the dots of between the popular and the political have even begun to be joined up. In a society so rooted in the anti-political this is hardly any surprise. A language and politics to cross this great divide will need to find an entirely different language and means of conversation. Never mind 1066 and All That, 1966, what a great place to start the chat.
Mark Perryman is the editor of the new collecton 1966 and Not All That contributors include David Goldblatt, Amy Lawrence and Simon Kuper to be published in May by Repeater Books and available now pre-publication from here.
