In an election that could upset the Democratic Party's control of the governor's mansion since the early years of statehood, two women will face off in Hawaii's gubernatorial race this November. Whichever of the two candidates win, Democratic nominee and two-term Lt. Gov. Mazie Hirono or Republican nominee, Linda Lingle, the former mayor of Maui, they will join the lonely ranks of female governors (Arizona, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Montana). This marks only the second time in the nation that two women have won the two major party nominations in a general election for governor. In 1986, Republican Kay Orr and Democrat Helen Boosalis ran for governor in Nebraska.
With several other strong woman gubernatorial candidates, 2002 may mark an increase in women governors, but it won't be another "Year of the Woman" in congressional elections. Any increase in women in the U.S. House will be in the low single-digits, in sharp contrast to the dramatic increase after the last redistricting in 1992 when far more seats were made competitive in redistricting. Women currently hold a mere 13 percent of seats in Congress, one of the lowest levels in the world among well-established democracies.
Thomas Mann, who watches Congress from the Brookings Institution, was quoted in the Washington Post recently saying that a new-breed of conservative politicians have torn a page from President George Bush's playbook. "They reflect the president, who is a very conservative man on things like taxes, missile defense and social issues but has figured a way to . . . appear more moderate than he is," Mann said. Mann said these new Republicans pursue politics "with more soothing rhetoric and a seemingly more accommodating style."
Many Democrats do the same thing. Former president Bill Clinton was famous for "triangulating" his way to re-election in 1996, while most leading contenders for the 2004 Democratic presidential nomination this month supported giving the president the authority to invade Iraq despite opposition from most Democratic Party voters.
"New Democrat".... "Compassionate Conservative"... Expect more and more of these labels in a winner-take-all system, where our two-choice politics bestow a disproportionate amount of power on a small political minority -- "swing voters." In low-turnout elections (all too frequent in the United States, with some primary and local election turnouts in single digits), those in a party's base who may sit out an election if not inspired can be defined as "swing," but the voters who inevitably draw the greatest attention are those 10 to 20 percent willing to vote for either major party -- either because they are single issue voters or because they are undecided. Because undecided swing voters determine most close elections, it's no wonder so many campaign appeals, sound bites and television ads from both major parties are directed to them and sound so similar. And it should be no surprise that attack ads still dominate the final days of campaigns, as swing voters can be more easily persuaded of your opponent's lack of worthiness than of your own positive qualities.
Indeed most major party candidates become addicted to the new modern techniques of polling, focus groups and dial meter groups to figure out which issues and groups of voters to talk to and which to ignore. In the process, many major issues, including ones that most voters deeply care about, can be left on the political sidelines. This is leading to a worrisome dumbing down of politics and a disconnection between what elected leaders do and what we debate in campaigns. These techniques are inevitable results of a two-choice, winner-take- all political system, where political operatives have the latest technology to be able to easily slice and dice the electorate.
In this year's German elections, the incumbent Social Democrat-Green Party coalition was re-elected in a squeaker. Germany uses a "Mixed Member" system where half the legislators are elected in U.S.-style, winner-take-all district elections, and the other half by party lists in which five percent of the national vote is required to entitle a party to a fair share of seats in the legislature. The German Green Party won close to 10% of the vote and also its first-ever district seat. The failure of the Greens to win district seats in the past is a good measure of how difficult it is for political minorities to win in winner-take-all elections. Even though the German Greens are far more established than any third party in the United States and even though Germany has full public financing of elections and bans most sources of private money, still a "third" party like the Green Party would be shut out if the election was held only under winner-take-all rules.
In fact, former Chancellor Helmut Kohl, despite his popularity and his party's sixteen year reign over German politics, never won his local district seat. In that particular area, Kohl's Christian Democratic party was the political minority. These examples help lay to rest the notion that, outside of the lightning-strikes kind of exception, third parties and the smaller major party in any given area (i.e. political minorities) in our system can start winning representation if they just "work harder," "have better candidates" or "raise more money."


I made pesto the other day so I've been planning on making a pizza for me with pesto and roasted veggies with a cashew cheese instead of the kiddie version we usually make with Daiya. Served with a caesar salad, it's the perfect meal.
But, of course, the kids won't eat the pizza I want – the pesto is covered with roasted garlic and onions – so they get their own. All the leftovers go into the freezer for last minute lunches so it's worth my effort to make two large pizzas.
I was originally going to make the pizza from my new cookbook but I would have had to start it yesterday to have it today! The dough is supposed to sit in the fridge overnight, cashews are supposed to soak overnight, the onions, garlic and peppers are supposed to be caramelized and roasted separately… it was too much prep work. Not to mention the dishes!
So went with my tried and true quick pizza dough (takes about 5 minutes to mix and then 10 minutes to rest and it's ready to use). I used the pesto I made on the weekend. I chopped the onion, peppers and peeled the garlic cloves, tossed them in olive oil and roasted them in the oven at 350 for 30 minutes (on one pan).
My pizza has pesto, cashew cheese, vegan sausages, roasted onions, peppers and garlic on a whole wheat crust.
I used the quick soak method for the cashew cheese, adding boiling water and letting them soak for 30 minutes or so and followed the mozzarella recipe in The Edgy Veg: 138 Carnivore-Approved Vegan Recipes .
When I got to the end of the recipe, I noticed it said to let it sit in the fridge for at least 3 hours before using. That didn't happen. But I didn't use it all, I guess I'll see if the time in the fridge improves the flavour or texture of the cheese. It was nice on the pizza.
I wouldn't call it mozzarella, though. Cashew cheese is delicious in its own right. When we name it a traditional cheese name, like mozzarella, it disappoints because it isn't the same thing. This cheese was dropped in spoonfuls onto the pizza – it doesn't spread or melt. But it does taste good. And with the pesto, roasted vegetables and vegan sausages, it was REALLY good.
The kids pizza has Daiya cheese, vegan sausage and roasted yellow pepper with tomato sauce.
Both pizzas were topped with roasted yellow peppers and vegan sausages made by Fieldroast. So far, these are the only sausages my kids enjoy – the Fieldroast Apple Sage Sausage. They were delicious with the caramelized onions, peppers and garlic. We enjoy the other flavours but the kids find them too spicy. Their pizza has tomato sauce from our freezer stash.
When I was making the salad, I originally planned to top it with the eggplant bacon from the Edgy Veg but the eggplant took too long to sweat and then marinate. The next step is to bake for an hour or longer in a not so hot oven but this would have cut into the pizza baking time. So I saved half the caesar dressing to make the salad I wanted to make tonight, tomorrow.
In the meantime, I tossed half the dressing with romaine lettuce, a red bell pepper, cucumber and a large tomato. I topped it with hemp seeds and sea salt. And put the black pepper grinder on the table (my daughter has no tolerance for black pepper). My son isn't into salads so he got his cucumber and red pepper in stick form on the side of his plate.
Your pizzas look amazing! How did your cashew cheese turn out taste and texture-wise? I tried making a cashew macaroni and cheese for our Christmas eve get together and it ended up staying in my fridge. It did not mimic cheese, it was exactly like grainy cashew sauce. No bueno.
Thank you! When I pour boiling water over the cashews and let them sit for a while and then use a powerful blender, the cashew cheese turns out well. If your blender isn't powerful enough to give a good texture with a short soak, maybe you have to soak them overnight.

Comedian Tom Patrick O'Connor, and the Veteran Game Show Host, Dead at 81
Celebrity/Actor who died/Who Died Today 2021
Tom Patrick O'Connor, the British comedian and host of game shows like "Crosswits," "Password," and "Name That Tune," has died. He was 81.
O'Connor's family told the BBC that the comedian, who had Parkinson's disease for over a decade, died in a hospital in Buckinghamshire on Sunday.
O'Connor began his show business on the talent show "Opportunity Knocks," which he won three times. His television breakthrough was on the show "The Comedians," where he performed stand-up sets. But O'Connor was best known as the host of several classic game shows, including "Crosswits," "Password," "Name That Tune," "The Zodiac Game," and "Gambit."
Born on Oct. 31, 1939, in Bootle, Merseyside in England, O'Connor originally became a math and music teacher at a school in Bootle, performing at night in the working men's clubs of the time. After appearing on "Opportunity Knocks" and "The Comedians," O'Connor quickly became one of the most recognizable faces on British TV in the '70s and '80s as a game show host.
Beyond hosting, O'Connor soon added acting to his resume, making his stage acting debut in 1991 as Pike in "The Perils of the Pond." He also had a recurring role on the BBC series "Doctors" from 2000 to 2004, playing a Catholic priest named Father Tom.

Toward the end of his career, O'Connor began appearing on game shows himself and was even given an award for having been on the show "Countdown" 100 times. In 2010, O'Connor won the Channel 4 show "Celebrity Come Dine With Me," and in 2011, he appeared on BBC One's "Pointless Celebrities" with his daughter-in-law, Denise Lewis.
Speaking to the BBC, O'Connor's son, Steve Finan O'Connor, said his father was a "unique comedian who was light years ahead of political correctness."
According to the BBC, survivors include O'Connor's wife and four children, as well as 16 grandchildren and a great-granddaughter

Airline Industry Finally Admits It Is Screwed: Can United (UAUA), American (AMR), and Delta (DAL) Survive?
Awful news from the airline industry just won't stop.
Only three months ago, the International Air Transport Association had forecast a $4.5 billion profit for 2008. Yesterday, officials cut that estimate to a $2.3 billion loss.
And that's assuming oil goes down in price. If oil were to stay around $135/barrel (never mind rise), the industry will lose approximately $6.1 billion.


Bumping due to Guild Revamp~!
I think I'd like to join too.
We're semi active at the moment due to school nearing it's end once summer vacation starts.
Feel free to let me know when you are available.
Or, if you are free around 6~10pm pst I can add you around that time frame.


LONDON, United Kingdom (AFP) — Europe's stock markets rebounded at the open on Monday, following last week's sharp losses.
In initial trade, London's benchmark FTSE 100 index of major blue-chip firms jumped almost 0.6 percent at 7,110.11 points.
In the eurozone, the Paris CAC 40 index won 0.5 percent to 4,988.09 and Frankfurt's DAX 30 climbed 0.5 percent to 10,955.83 points, compared with Friday's closing levels.
Global stocks had mostly fallen on Friday at the end of a tumultuous week that was dented by worries over slowing global growth and continued uncertainty on US-China trade talks.
However, Asian equities saw gains Monday as US and Chinese officials in Beijing geared up for crunch trade talks aimed at averting fresh tariff escalations.

The Aggression Scale…
The Aggression Scale (2012) Review
Horror Film Reviews Psychological Thriller
From the outside, the plot of The Aggression Scale is a complicated one.
When Bellavance, a big, nasty crime boss finally gets caught for his dirty deeds, he has one last chance to escape jail. Released for just 48 hours on bail, he plans to gather his money and run.
The problem is that his former employees have already helped themselves to the loot, thinking that it was safe to do so.
Bellavance meets with his most ruthless henchmen with the instructions that they are to find the money within two days and to kill everyone in their path.
As they set about doing this a family of four drive to the countryside somewhere keen to start a new life in a grand abode. Lauren resents her new step father for removing her from her former life with no good reason. She also dislikes her weird, silent stepbrother, owen, who has only recently been released from a mental institution and is on heavy medication.
Before long it becomes clear that the family are in possession of a large amount of Bellavance's money and it's not long before the hit men come calling.
But these professional killers haven't prepared for Owen, who we learn has a history of violence and isn't going to give up without a fight.
The Aggression Scale has been dubbed "First Blood meets Home Alone", which does pretty much nail it on the head. The film has taken influence from them both and also bears a resemblance to the tiger movie, Burning Bright.
There are even clear nods to the films of influence in a couple of scenes, which almost makes it a shame that the surprise is somewhat spoiled by the synopsis.
Starting slowly, the film takes its time (perhaps a tad too long) to explain the complicated story before introducing the lead family and their complicated set of circumstances.
As the pace picks up, tension builds appropriately, but as the film progresses the hit men seem less threatening. And as the 'home alone' elements surface, it moves dangerously close to being a black comedy and the killers bumble around, afraid of the 15 year old boy that they rapidly (and without much cause) grow to fear.
Looking at The Aggression Scale from a lighter perspective (than we usually do at Love Horror) it is still an enjoyable experience.
The plot is well thought out, and Ryan Hartwig plays our hero with confidence, backed by Twin Peaks veterans, Dale Ashbrook and Ray Wise.
The various traps and devices are fun and although there are some elements of horror (and lots of blood), the gore is restricted to glimpses, leaving more time for the more engaging action.
The Aggression Scale isn't the gritty ordeal that I expected, but instead brings a refreshing element of adventure to a potentially arduous experience.

The Oldfield Middle School Gay-Straight Alliance club declared Sept. 30 as the school's first ever Ally Day and celebrated with a banner for students and faculty to sign. The club sponsored Ally Day after hearing about National Ally Week, which is commemorated during the week of Sept. 26 – 30 to create a dialogue about how everyone can be better allies to LGBT youth.
The school tries to hold as many events and programs as possible throughout the year to encourage students to be upstanders and heroes to their classmates. All grade levels and staff members had the option to participate if they wanted to by signing their names to a colorful banner in the school's cafeteria. The signatures left were those that declared themselves an Ally to their classmates.
"The banner will serve as a daily reminder to the students about the importance of being an upstander and hero to those who may not always have a voice," said Guidance Counselor and Gay-Straight Alliance Co-Advisor Jennifer McCaffrey.
The school plans to hang the banner in the cafeteria and surround it with pictures of famous Allies in the media. This includes musicians, athletes, historical figures, actors and actresses.

Home Discovered A Martian sunrise becomes a piece of music thanks to data sonification
A Martian sunrise becomes a piece of music thanks to data sonification
Team Jukely
A group of scientists from Anglia Ruskin University and the University of Exeter in the U.K. have taken a photo by NASA's Opportunity Mars rover and turned it into music.
The picture itself marks a milestone as it is the rover's 5000th photo of a Martian sunrise (that's a little over 14 years in Earth time). The actual piece was created using a technique called data sonification, which assigns pitch and melody to each pixel in the image based on factors including brightness and color.
What ended up being produced was pretty much exactly what you'd expect a sunrise to sound like. The darker areas produced a slow, peaceful harmony while the brighter areas provided higher-pitched melodic tones. Overall, it's a soothing piece of music that really does seem like something to wake up to an Earth sunrise to. It is the same sun after all.
Dr. Domenico Vicinanza, of Anglia Ruskin University, explained why the project was important, data sonification "is a really flexible technique to explore science and it can be used in several domains, from studying certain characteristics of planet surfaces and atmospheres, to analyzing weather changes or detecting volcanic eruptions."
Dr. Vicinanza and Dr. Genevieve Williams, of the University of Exeter, will be presenting the entire piece, titled Mars Soundscapes, at the Supercomputing SC18 Conference in Dallas. But for now, the two-minute clip they released will have to do.

Q: Specifying HTTP referer in UIWebView How can we set HTTP referer in embedded UIWebView?
I had gone through this but still not got success.
1. In viewDidLoad, I wrote this code,
[objWebView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"MY_URL"]]];

Here is my code :
- (BOOL) webView:(UIWebView*)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest*)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType) navigationType
{
    NSDictionary *headers = [request allHTTPHeaderFields];
    BOOL hasReferer = [headers objectForKey:@"Referer"]!=nil;
    if (hasReferer) {
        // .. is this my referer?
        return YES;
    } else {
        // relaunch with a modified request
        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{
            dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
                NSURL *url = [request URL];
                NSMutableURLRequest* request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url cachePolicy:NSURLRequestUseProtocolCachePolicy timeoutInterval:60.0];
                [request setHTTPMethod:@"GET"];
                [request setValue:@"Referer link" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Referer"];
                [objWebView loadRequest:request];
            });
        });
        return NO;
    }
}

2. I had tried this also in viewDidLoad
NSMutableURLRequest* request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"MY_URL"]];
[request setValue:@"Referel URL" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Referer"];
[objWebView loadRequest:request];

But doesn't got success yet.
Please help me solve this problem or tell me is there any problem with this code or not?
Hope I presented question clearly.

A: You can set Default User-Agent using following code
NSDictionary *dictionary = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:@"Safari/528.16", @"UserAgent", nil];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] registerDefaults:dictionary];

It is well explained here.

A: I am not sure what exactly is your situation. But for me, simply just setting baseURL parameter in -loadHTMLString:baseURL:; will automatically add HTTP header Referer as baseURL to all outgoing request under the HTML page.

The College of Business Alumni Association (COBAA) held their 26th annual golf tournament this past spring.
The 2017 tournament was held on a sunny Friday afternoon in June. Those in attendance enjoyed a barbecue lunch, followed by an afternoon "scramble" on the Wolf Run Golf Course in Reno. After the round of golf, teams relaxed and ate, while some lucky individuals won raffle prizes. Everything from his and her gift baskets to tickets to a Giant's game in San Francisco was up for grabs. The proceeds we raised will be used by COBAA to support their mission of developing relationships with The College of Business and its students.
The funds raised from the golf tournament enables COBAA to follow its mission statement through support of student organizations, sponsorship of networking events, the college's Career & Internship Fair, and funding of business student scholarships. Highlights from last spring's student funding include COBAA providing the funds for the student groups ENACTUS, Business Student Council and the College's Management and Human Resources Association.
ENACTUS used the funds to help fund their international project in Sri Lanka. The Business Student Council used the funds for its Leader Event, which is designed to create opportunities for members to meet and learn from exciting individuals at the forefront of their respective fields. The Management and Human Resources Association used the funds to get more quality guest speakers to help students get more exposure to career-oriented experiences and opportunities. This is in addition to COBAA's continued support of the College of Business through collaboration with the college on special projects. Using these opportunities, the association sees the unique opportunities to help students with their future success.
The value of the annual golf tournament extends beyond the money raised since participants come from a wide array of the Northern Nevada business community. College of Business Alumni and other members of the community are provided with an excellent opportunity for networking in a relaxed and informal setting.
The success of the golf tournament hinges on the support from the participants and corporate sponsors. This year's winning team included team players from the Argentum Group. COBAA would like to give a big thank you to all the participants and attendants. A very special thank you goes to our sponsors: Wells Fargo, EideBailly, New West Distribution, and Port of Subs. The continued support of the corporate partners and Alumni is highly appreciated.
COBAA hopes to continue to have successful tournaments in the coming years. A continued effort will be made to increase the positive impact on The College of Business, the students, as well as the community.
Save the date for next year. The 27th annual golf tournament will take place June 1, 2018, at Wolf Run Golf Course. For more information about participation or sponsorship opportunities, please contact the association at cobaa@unr.edu or visit www.cobaa.org.
We hope you can join us next spring for the 27th annual COBAA Golf Tournament.

North Norfolk Visitor's Guide: Muckleburgh Military Museum
A Relaxed Camping Holiday for Military Vehicle Enthusiast
North Norfolk is famous for its beautiful countryside and gentle pace of life, with plenty of interesting museums and sights to discover. Glenn Read, from Kent, found this out for himself on a recent camping trip with his wife, Wendy.
"We wanted a nice relaxing get away, so we thought we'd explore North Norfolk. It's an area we've been interested in visiting for a while now. We went camping for four days just outside Cromer, which was a good starting point to then explore the local area.
"We hadn't really done any research, so didn't have much idea about what there was to do or see, but we really enjoyed wandering around and discovering places by ourselves."
Muckleburgh Military Museum
During their exploring, Glenn and Wendy came across the Muckleburgh Military Museum in nearby Holt, a privately owned collection of military vehicles, weaponry and memorabilia from WW1 and 2.
The remaining original camp buildings
The museum has a strong military history, being located on the site of WW2 and post-war Weybourne Anti-Aircraft Training Camp. Over the years, more buildings and defences were added, and the camp was even visited by Winston Churchill! The collection was opened to the public in 1988 and has been fascinating visitors ever since.
"The museum is divided up into separate rooms with different things to see in each," Glenn explains. "My favourites were the Anti-Aircraft Hall and Dawson Hall. They had support vehicles, missile launchers, anti-aircraft tanks and guns, armoured cars, troop carriers and the vehicles used to recover and service the tanks. I especially enjoyed seeing the American Jeep and old fire engine as I haven't seen them before – I'm really interested in the history of that time period so it was great to see some new vehicles.
"A big collection of uniforms is on show in the Yeomanry room, including police, army and other staff kits. It was really interesting to see how the uniforms have changed over the years and there were personal stories behind each of them.
One of the tanks from the collection
"There's an ammunition and model room with over 200 pieces of ammunition, rockets, missiles and shells, but thankfully none of them are live anymore! Some of the aviation and naval models are based on original drawings from the WW1 period, while the newer ones show how the designs have changed over the years. Another room has a life size air raid shelter and gas masks for you to try on, plus everyday items such as coins."
The collection has grown significantly over the years thanks to donations of personal memorabilia, including photographs, drawings, letters, diaries and official documents, which can be seen in the Weybourne Room. This room also has more information about the military camp history. An Artillery Hall houses a variety of big guns, and the Pictures and Prints room displays the art of military artists, including depictions of land and air combats.
Many of the tanks and other vehicles have been carefully restored to working order by the passionate enthusiasts at the museum. Some are used in car shows and displays at fairs and large events.
"As a military vehicle enthusiast, I've been to a number of similar museums and lots of car shows," says Glenn. "I would happily go to any displays Muckleburgh were showing at to see their vehicles in action. They also have some driving experiences available at the museum, like the off-road tank experience, where you get to drive a tank. Sadly we didn't get to try it out!"
Some of the naval models
The museum also offer vehicle tours round the old Weybourne camp site, giving you the chance to see the airfield, RAF radar installation and views of the coast.
Not Just for Military Fans
Glenn really enjoyed his visit, happily spending a number of hours browsing. He thought the entrance fee was reasonable, found all the facilities to be of a high standard and was particularly complimentary about the staff.
"The staff were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, so you could ask them anything about the collection. I was really impressed with how clean the museum, café and toilets were. I know that sounds silly but some museums are left to get dusty.
A motorbike exhibit
"Outside the museum were some specially built dog kennels, which I thought were a great touch. If you've been out walking or it's too hot to leave dogs in the car, you can put them in the secure kennels with water whilst you go round the museum. There were also plenty of information boards at each exhibit, giving you background information about the vehicles, what they were used for and by whom.
"I'd definitely recommend it to other people. You don't need to be a history buff or have a passion for vehicles to enjoy it – the personal stories and driving experiences ensure there is something for everyone.
"I don't think small children would have the best time as you can't touch the exhibits due to their age and condition, but the staff commented that they'd noticed a big rise in families with young teenagers visiting. I think they would get the most out of the museum. They can also cater for school parties and corporate days out, which I think would be something different."
Price and Parking
The entry price is £10 for adults and £7 for children, and free onsite parking is situated next to the museum. Dogs are not allowed in the museum but spacious and secure outdoor kennels are provided for your dog to stay in during your visit, at no extra charge.
The Muckleburgh Military Museum is a 14 minute drive from the Blakeney Cottage Company HQ in Blakeney, or a 24 minute Coasthopper coach trip.

TV on the Radio - Seeds
by Nse Ette Rating:9 Release Date:2014-11-17 Label:
Seeds is the first album from TV on the Radio since the death of bassist Gerard Smith from lung cancer, and according to Tunde Adebimpe, their best yet. What they unfurl here are unfussy song structures, largely giving up their charm early on, unlike the more complex and meandering path taken on previous albums - and it's not necessarily a bad thing.
The band plays optimistically, with lead singer Tunde Adebimpe singing "Rain comes down like it always does/ This time I've got seeds on ground", on the moody title track, and "Everything's going to be okay I keep telling myself/ don't worry, be happy", on the slowly shuffling 'Trouble', feauting atmospheric strings and soothing harmonies. With that, they declare their intention to forge ahead.
"How much do I love you?" Adebimpe sings urgently, against a wall of cascading "aaahs", gently buzzing synths and trilling guitars on opening track 'Quartz', conjuring a rather reverential feel. Lead single 'Happy Idiot' finds Adebimpe declaring ignorance to be bliss in a relationship, over galloping beats and angular riffs, catchy and anthemic. Slowing things down is the blissful soul of 'Test Pilot', with Adebimpe switching from his regular tenor to falsetto in the blink of an eye, while 'Love Stained' finds him singing in a creamy croon against a gentle, tempo-shifting backdrop.
'Ride' has a solemn, two minute long piano overture before it morphs into a widescreen rocker Springsteen would kill for. 'Right Now' is a twitchy, incredibly catchy dance-rocker. Following this are a pair of punk rock-inflected numbers: 'Winter', which is fuzzy and skeletal and reminds me of R.E.M., while the raucous 'Lazerray' occupies the more frenzied end of the spectrum.
This album has a well-rounded sound, and despite the immediacy of the songs, still manages to give up more with each listen. A welcome and inventive return from a place of pain and loss.

Education leaders in Swindon have set out their bold vision for improving educational outcomes in the town's schools through the launch of a new strategy.
The Swindon Challenge Board met for the first time last night to outline a key set of objectives which will ensure excellence underpins all education provision in Swindon.
Improving educational opportunities and attainment forms part of Swindon Borough Council's Priorities and Pledges, and the Council has set aside £600,000 over the next three years to help achieve the outcomes set out in the Swindon Challenge strategy.
Swindon Challenge brings together all key stakeholders in education including the Regional Schools' Commissioner, headteachers, the teaching schools, governors, local businesses and senior council leaders. Ofsted have agreed to have observer status to the board.
Anji Phillips has been appointed as the independent chair to the Challenge board. Anji was previously a headteacher, an Ofsted inspector and Director of Education and Director of Children's Services in Richmond (graded as outstanding under her leadership).
Swindon Challenge will strive to ensure that every school in Swindon is rated by Ofsted as being 'good' or better by 2020, while also increasing the proportion of young people accessing Higher Education by 25 per cent.
Leading educational research and practice will be brought into Swindon to shape and influence leadership in schools. Stronger partnership working with national educational bodies and high performing local authorities will also be high on the Swindon Challenge agenda to improve outcomes across all Swindon secondary providers.
Another key target will be to ensure that Swindon's GCSE results and Post 16 indicators at least meet national averages against national benchmarks for all pupils including those with SEND (Special Education Needs and Disability).
There will be an emphasis on phonics outcomes for Year 1 pupils to ensure they are at the national average or above and that reading, writing and mathematics standards are at least in line with national averages when children leave primary school at the age of 11.
Strong and sustainable school structures in the form of Multi Academy Trusts and School Federations will also be in place by 2020 to ensure Swindon has a self-improving education system.
Swindon Challenge is being launched despite a number of improvements having already been made across Swindon schools. Phonics and writing champions have been appointed to model and share good practice across Swindon primary schools and The Teaching School has run a number of courses on the effective teaching of phonics, writing and reading.
Based on predictions received from all of Swindon's primary schools, it is anticipated there will be a considerable improvement in the headline Key Stage 2 indicators and in Key Stage 1 phonics.
The National Education Trust is working with all of Swindon's secondary schools to review the provision and outcomes for disadvantaged pupils and also for SEND pupils in the borough, and funding is being provided to some secondary schools to put teachers through the Improving Teaching and Outstanding Teacher programmes.
Specific funded projects are being developed with schools judged as being requires improvement or below to raise attainment.
Council officers, in partnership with the Regional Schools Commissioner, have also played a key role in setting up partnerships with some of Swindon's secondary schools that are not meeting national targets.
Cllr Fionuala Foley, Swindon Borough Council's Cabinet Member for Children's Services, said: "Improving education is at the heart of the Council's Vision, Priorities and Pledges and we have set some challenging targets over the next few years, which is why Swindon Challenge is so important in helping us to achieve those goals.
"Although we have a number of fantastic schools and exceptional teachers, we know there are areas where we need to do better. We have made great strides already with the work we are doing with phonics and writing in our primary schools and we have worked hard to help some of our secondary schools by setting up partnerships with other schools so they can share best practice and drive up standards.

Vegas' start is even more impressive than it seems
By Adam GretzJan 5, 2018, 2:38 PM EST
As the NHL's season heads into its second half the Vegas Golden Knights remain the league's most improbable success story.
Their 2-1 loss in St. Louis on Thursday night snapped what had been an eight-game winning streak that had helped propel them to the second best record in the NHL and the top spot in the Western Conference. For a team that didn't even exist at this time a year ago and was pieced together in an expansion draft their current record is nothing short of unbelievable.
Through their first 39 games they have already won more games than Minnesota, Ottawa, Tampa Bay, Atlanta and San Jose all won in their debut seasons, and they are just one win away from matching what Columbus and Nashville did in their first seasons.
Even if we take into account that the expansion draft rules this time around gave them more talent than those previous expansion teams, it is still a stunning start because even teams that have been established and building for years don't typically win this many games through the first half of the season.
Since the NHL introduced the three-point game at the start of the 2005-06 season there have only been 19 teams that have recorded at least 56 points through their first 39 games.
That includes this season's Golden Knights and Tampa Bay Lightning.
What's so fascinating about this isn't just the fact that Vegas is off to one of the best starts of any NHL team over the past 13 years, it's how well teams that start the way they do end up doing the rest of the season. They not only make the playoffs, they tend to do very, very well once they get there.
Just consider…
All 17 of the previous teams made the playoffs.
Five of them (the 2007-08 Detroit Red Wings, 2008-09 San Jose Sharks, 2010-11 Vancouver Canucks, 2012-13 Chicago Blackhawks, 2015-16 Washington Capitals) won the Presidents' Trophy as the NHL's top regular season team.
Five of them (2016-17 Pittsburgh Penguins, 2012-13 Chicago Blackhawks, 2010-11 Vancouver Canucks 2008-09 Detroit Red Wings, and 2007-08 Detroit Red Wings) ended up reaching the Stanley Cup Final.
Three of them (2016-17 Penguins, 2012-13 Blackhawks, and 2007-08 Red Wings) actually won the Stanley Cup
Another three (2013-14 Chicago Blackhawks, 2012-13 Pittsburgh Penguins, and 2011-12 New York Rangers) ended up reaching the Conference Final.
Three other teams (the 2015-16 Washington Capitals, 2015-16 Dallas Stars, the 2005-06 Ottawa Senators) made it to the second round. Only six of the teams failed to get out of the first round.
Impressive company.
What's even more impressive is that as the season has gone the Golden Knights have not only continued to win, but they've actually seemed to keep getting better as the season has gone on.
While their early season success was largely percentage driven (specifically when it comes to their goaltending) they have steadily become a better possession team and are currently 15th in the league with a 50.7 percent Corsi, putting them directly between the Nashville Predators and Los Angeles Kings. Their PDO (even-strength save percentage plus shooting percentage) is 100.7, right around where it should be, indicating they're not really benefitting from some crazy or unsustainable "luck."
They are just … good.
But we're about to find out exactly how good they are. Through the first half Vegas has been an absolutely dominant team at home, posting a 17-2-1 record. That still leaves a pretty respectable 10-8-1 record on the road. Now Vegas has to play 11 of its next 15 games on the road during a stretch features some pretty daunting matchups including games at Chicago, Nashville, Tampa Bay, Winnipeg, Washington, Pittsburgh, and San Jose.
It remains to be seen where the Golden Knights go in the second half, but they have absolutely given themselves quite a cushion in the standings and have at least put themselves in a position to get in the playoffs. If recent history is any indication they might even have a chance to make some noise once they get there.

"Tech Wreck" — It's Over
Tech's September breather
Jonas Elmerraji: Robot investing strikes again
Trump's tax return (that dog don't hunt)
Russiagate's origin story gets buried
The Zoom-ification of luxe fashion
The 5, armchair epidemiologists… and Dick Cheney?
Apple Inc. entered this morning's trading down 16% from its all-time high set at the beginning of the month. Microsoft took less of a hit — a little over 10%.
By and large the story's the same for the rest of the MAGA stocks (Google and Amazon) plus Facebook.
You don't have to look far to find mainstream stories asserting that either 1) money is leaving these stocks for other sectors or 2) money is leaving stocks altogether and the broad market is set for a huge tumble.
This morning we introduce a third possibility: These stocks have been taking a September rest before resuming their epic run-up.
Our resident big-data analyst Jonas Elmerraji put together the following chart of the couple dozen biggest companies in the S&P 500…
The horizontal axis depicts each company's size in the index. The vertical axis represents each company's share performance year to date.
Go figure: By and large, the bigger the company, the stronger the performance. "If you focus on stocks that make up 1% of the S&P or more," says Jonas, "the relationship is crystal clear — it's a straight line."
The reason comes back to something that three years ago we cheekily labeled the "attack of the passive robots."
As a reminder, "passive" investing means you're simply tracking an index like the S&P, usually using an ETF. That's in contrast to "active" investing, where you're trying to beat the market.
"As of March 2020," Jonas tells us, so-called passive funds make up about 48% of all investments. In other words, half of all investors are betting that they can't beat the market! It's the highest that number has ever been — and it's trending higher, driven by 401(k) plans and robo-advisors.
"One side effect of passive investing is that a bigger share of each investment dollar goes to bigger stocks. That's at least part of why the returns of the largest stocks in the market in 2020 are perfectly correlated with their representation in the index."
So what does that mean as September turns to October?
For one thing, "September's tech sector tumble is likely to be a buying opportunity, at least in the near term," Jonas ventures.
"I know lots of investors are nervous about the correction stocks experienced this month, but the dominance of passive investments this year suggests that it's more likely to be a buying opportunity than the first sign of trouble.
"While the passive trend isn't new, it's being exacerbated right now by aggressive asset inflation from the Fed. That's why big stocks have surged so much in 2020. And the Fed isn't showing any signs of taking their foot off the gas."
But even more important, "it means incredible opportunities in smaller tech stocks," Jonas says — "especially the ones that aren't included in passive indexes.
"More investors on 'autopilot' necessarily means fewer eyes on what's going on in smaller companies, where old-fashioned boots-on-the-ground research is the only way to value what a stock is worth.
"That means we may see a trend toward bigger upside between the time a company debuts on the public markets and the time a company reaches the scale needed to make it into the big stock indexes.
"Wall Street is fixating on huge stocks right now. And they're probably going to leave a lot of money on the table as a result.
"Simply put, the data suggest it's an exciting time to be an investor. And there could be a lot more to 2020's rally than most folks realize."
Watch this space in the weeks ahead for how to play it…
"More to the rally" might be getting underway already.
The major U.S. stock indexes are all adding to Friday's gains as we write. The Nasdaq is the weakest of the bunch — but still up 1.5% and back above 11,000. The S&P 500 is up nearly 1.75%, past 3,350. And the Dow is the strongest, up nearly 2% and approaching 27,700.
Precious metals have begun reclaiming some of last week's losses. Gold is up to $1,869 and silver is back above $23.
No economic numbers or earnings reports of note today… which means trader chatter is focused on the president's tax returns, reported this weekend in The New York Times.
From where we sit, the biggest takeaway from Donald Trump's tax returns is the dog that didn't bark — a Russian husky, to be precise.
You have to imagine the Times writers and editors were crestfallen when their story had to acknowledge: "Nor do they [the filings] reveal any previously unreported connections to Russia."
Heh… Everyone from conservative columnist George Will to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer had suggested for years that Trump's tax records would turn up some sort of compromising Russian link — and the reason Trump kept them under wraps was to hide that link.
We'll leave it to others to discuss whether the documents reflect the savvy of Trump's tax advisers in harvesting losses… or the ineptitude of Trump himself in generating those losses… or the oddities of how the tax code treats real estate investments. It's the continued bad faith of the media-pundit class we wish to spotlight this morning.
Speaking of the president and Russia, the following scoop got completely lost this weekend in the commotion over his tax returns…
John Durham is the special prosecutor who's been looking into the origins of Russiagate. Ever since his appointment last year by Attorney General William Barr, Trump fans have held out hope that the investigation would end with someone like former CIA Director John Brennan being frogmarched into federal court for spying on the Trump campaign.
It would have been one heck of an October surprise — with potentially huge impact on the markets. But if the sources of Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo are to be believed, it's not happening.
No surprise if you read our episode from July 24 of last year, titled "The Fix Is In ('Spygate')." We spelled out the deep-state bona fides of both Barr and Durham — covering up Iran-Contra, Ruby Ridge and CIA torture. At best, they would find a low-level patsy to take the fall. Meanwhile, Brennan retains his cushy gig as an "analyst" for MSNBC.
Even the fashion industry has had to change with the times…
Figures from Boston Consulting Group point to a 35% drop this year in sales of luxury fashion.
Thus, "fashion labels are designing outfits for video calls during the coronavirus pandemic," reports Cristina Criddle for the BBC. "A 'waist-up' focus has been noticed at both Milan and London Fashion Weeks, with detailed necklines and relaxed trousers."
Hence the rather, uh, prominent placement of those Prada logos. "Moving the logo up to the neck is a good way of keeping your brand out there and making a fashion statement," says Deborah St. Louis, founder of Fashions Finest.
Hmmm… Your editor is reminded of his broadcast news days, which began during a time before TV anchors stood in front of giant video walls. Instead they were seated behind a desk. Especially on weekends, more than one anchor was known to be all business from the waist up… but otherwise in shorts and sandals.
Which also brings to mind a Far Side cartoon from days gone by…
We opened up the mailbag this morning and noticed a disturbing trend.
After some discussion late last week about the prospect for coronavirus vaccines, we heard from several people citing one or another statistic to make one or another case about the severity of the disease, or lack thereof.
We noticed a similar spike in such reader emails back in March as the lockdowns began taking effect.
Then as now, we're just not interested.
Please don't take this the wrong way if you've written us one of these emails over the last six or seven months — we know you're sincere and well-intentioned — but one of the most annoying things about the pandemic this year is how it's turned half the people on the internet into armchair epidemiologists.
But the amateurs were and are working with the same alarmingly incomplete data set as the so-called experts. The problem with nearly every percentage related to this outbreak is that either the numerator or the denominator is wonky. In some cases, both.
That's why we've kept our focus instead on the incompetence of the "professionals" who are supposed to know better.
Like when the WHO said on Jan. 14 there's "no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission." Or when Dr. Fauci said on Feb. 17 that the risk posed by the virus is "just minuscule." Or when the surgeon general tweeted on Feb. 29, "Seriously people- STOP BUYING MASKS!"
In retrospect, the lockdowns are looking like the public health version of Dick Cheney's "one percent doctrine."
In the post-9/11 years, the U.S. government embraced the notion that if there's a mere 1% chance a foreign actor or actors wish to cause serious harm to U.S. citizens or "interests" somewhere in the world, then the government is obligated to marshal all available resources to eliminate that actor or actors.
The possibility of second-order effects or unintended consequences? It never enters the discussion.
That's how you end up with as many as 1 million dead Iraqis in pursuit of nonexistent "weapons of mass destruction."
And so it wasn't until late last month that The Wall Street Journal felt safe in putting a lengthy story on its front page by chief economics commentator Greg Ip that said, "The evidence suggests lockdowns were an overly blunt and economically costly tool."
Now they tell us, right?
P.S. This message goes offline temporarily at midnight tonight. It will go offline permanently in a few more weeks.

TITLE: Study of the Effect of Imaginary Imagery (Imaginary Color, Imaginary Figure, Imaginary Space Building and Fantasy in Characterization) on the Characterization of Children
AUTHORS: Iran Naseri Sisakht, Ashkan Pourlashkary
KEYWORDS: Imaginary Imagery, Children's Story Illustration, Iran's Last Decade
JOURNAL NAME: Advances in Literary Study, Vol.6 No.4, August 21, 2018
ABSTRACT: Provided introduction is related to imagination in children's story books. Reviewing the books of this course, in addition to introducing the author's styles, leads to more knowledge about the content of these books. The imaginary imagery as the main gem of these books is considered as one of the most important artistic criteria. Types of colors, shapes and characteristics are the most striking forms of imagination in this work. Applying live metaphors and exquisite combinations which appear on the vapor of imagery and the remarkable frequency of ecosystemism can be seen in these works. Children build the foundations of the future civilization; therefore, in order to understand and promote the culture of our country, the study of the effect of imagery in the works of Iranian illustrators associated with the stories of Iranian writers is considered as the research goal. Another goal of this study was to identify the elements that illustrators have been inclined to use to make more visual imagery over the past decade. The methodology of this research is historical and descriptive-analytical, and the collection of materials has been done through library and internet studies. The results of the review of books and images and examples from the age group "B and C" books by the Children's and Adolescent Intellectual Development Center indicate that the use of fictional imagery in the illustrations of the last decade has been growing and more illustrators have taken fantastic elements in creating the story space. The most commonly used fictional imagery is imaginary space, and the smallest is imaginative characters.

In a family-owned business two or more family members are involved and the majority of ownership or control lies within a family.
Because you are dealing with family members, family businesses tend to run differently than public companies or privately-held companies. Decisions in family businesses are often made on an informal basis and with less-than-meticulous record keeping. If, down the road, a dispute arises between family members, the lack of formality can become a stumbling block that must be dealt with by the courts.
In response to this, the courts have expressly recognized that family businesses are different than other types of companies, and thus should be treated differently.
The seminal case on this point is Safarik v. Ocean Fisheries Ltd., (1995) 12 B.C.L.R. (3d) 342 (C.A.). This case involved a dispute between shareholders of a company which consisted of a father and his four sons. One of the sons felt that he was being excluded from the decision-making process regarding the management of the company. As a result, friction arose between the purported "excluded" son and the other family members. A court application was made to resolve the dispute.
In the reasons for judgment, Justice Southin stated:
112 Family companies are very different from non-family companies. They are different because, usually when a young man joins his father in the business, he does so trusting his father to do right by him and the father intends to do right. Thus no contracts are drawn up. It is not unusual for differences to arise as they did here, not because either father or son is dishonourable but because each sees the world through different eyes.
113 If this were not a family company, but a company in which the respondent had simply bought his common shares and in buying them had decided not to be a director for whatever reason, there would be no case for an order under s. 295(3) [to liquidate the company].
114 But, in my opinion, it is not erroneous to take a more liberal approach to the words "just and equitable" in the case of a family company in which one of the family after many years of service is no longer permitted to participate in the business.
Resolving Disputes Between Shareholders who are also Family Members
Justice Southin recognized the differences between family companies and other non-family companies and that the Court should take a more flexible approach when resolving disputes between shareholders who are also family members. The result is that a court may be more willing to grant relief, such as liquidating a company or a buy-back of the family member's shares, when dealing with a family business.
When you are facing a dispute within a family business, you should be aware of the differences in the application of the law that can affect the outcome and choose an experienced lawyer who can explain the best approach to you.

Otosclerosis is estimated to affect one in ten South Bay residents. It is a cause of conductive hearing loss or hearing loss caused by restricted motion of the ear bones—or ossicles—specifically, the stapes bone. The stapes is one of the smallest bones in the body, but even small changes can damage the hearing. Otosclerosis is more common in men and amongst people of certain ethnicities but can occur in anyone at any age. There are both surgical and nonsurgical treatment options offered by the specialists at Camino ENT.
Mild cases of otosclerosis can be corrected with a hearing aid designed to amplify sounds.
Orally ingested sodium fluoride has been shown to slow the progression of the disease, and may be an option.
In more advanced cases, a surgical procedure known as a stapedectomy is often performed. There are inherent risks in any surgery, but left untreated, otosclerosis will only get worse. Speak to your doctor about the best treatment options for your hearing loss.
A stapedectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove the innermost bone of the middle ear—the stapes—and replace it with a prosthesis made from a small plastic tube and stainless steel wire. This procedure improves the movement of sound from the outer to the inner ear and is most often done to treat progressive hearing loss caused by otosclerosis.

GP project is 'a go'
The Brewton GP site is in line to receive a $400 million energy upgrad
Georgia Pacific officials confirmed Monday that plans to invest an estimated $400 million into a new boiler at its Brewton plant that will make the facility energy independent.
Local plant manager Jeff Joyce made the announcement at the Brewton Rotary Club's meeting. The project will likely begin in 2016 and is expected to bring a number of people to the area for the construction phase.
"This is a huge investment for our future," Joyce told members. "This is a long-term, state-of-the-art project that is unparalleled in North America."
The Brewton GP plant produces two products – white top consumer board that is seen on items such as pizza boxes, and SBS, which is used as high-end cosmetic packaging. The plant employs more than 450 people. Final approval for the project rested with the company's corporate officials, and local employees were told last Wednesday of its approval, Joyce said.
There are many facets to the project, he said. In addition to a new boiler installation, funds will be used to construct a new centralized control room and to install other energy-saving measures.
"This investment will help us make gains in industry marks," Joyce said. "It will help Brewton 'catch up' to other GP plants and make it more competitive overall. This mill is one that is in need of some upgrades to bring it in line with current technology, and this project will do that and take us to that playing field.
"And additionally, we buy a tremendous amount of power from Alabama Power," Joyce said. "When this project is complete, what it will do is, instead of us purchasing energy, it will allow us to be energy self-sufficient."
Work on the project is a "complex process" and will call for a significant labor presence in the area, Joyce said. And while the project won't add additional long-term GP employees, Joyce said he could not speculate on the number of additional contractor workers.
"What I can say is that this will be an 18-month project," he said. "It will take a while to ramp up, but we should be ready to start in early 2016."
Joyce said community support was vital in bringing the project to fruition.
"Community support was vital," he said. "We couldn't have moved forward without it."

Overview: Deficient Services under Consumer Protection Act, 2019 (India)
Deficient Services Consumer Protection Act
Deficient Services under Consumer Protection Act, 2019 (India)
The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 (the "New CPA") heralds the commencement of a new era in India concerning the consumer rights to be in sync with the new-generation consumer expectations. The modes of business like telemarketing, direct selling, multilevel marketing and e-commerce were not envisaged three decades back in the 1986 legal framework and have made consumers more vulnerable to unfair trade practices. Well, new problems do require new solutions! The direct selling and multilevel marketing earlier regulated through guidelines issued by state governments and the consumer affairs ministry are now within the ambit of the New CPA.
The New CPA modifies the rich legacy of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 (the "1986 Act") to curb the challenges of a rapidly growing, sophisticated and inter-dependent market for goods and services. The New CPA expands the scope of grievances that consumers can complain against, as well as gives the regulator suo motu powers. The 1986 Act had a three-tier structure providing for adjudicating any complaint, but failed to provide for a regulator which could initiate or intervene on a preventive basis like direct product recalls which are dangerous or unsafe. The New CPA provides for this by establishing a Central Consumer Protection Authority. The New CPA creates a regulatory structure on a par with advanced global jurisdictions like the U.S. and U.K.
When a consumer finds the service deficient, he can lodge a complaint under the New CPA. This marks the prime requirement to be that the matter must fall within the definition of "service", and it must entail a deficiency as per the requirements provided under the New CPA.
What is Deficiency of Service?
According to the definition under Section 2(11) of the New CPA, "deficiency" means any fault, imperfection, shortcoming or inadequacy in the quality, nature and manner of performance which is required to be maintained by or under any law for the time being in force or has been undertaken to be performed by a person in pursuance of a contract or otherwise in relation to any service and includes—
any act of negligence or omission or commission by such person which causes loss or injury to the consumer; and
deliberate withholding of relevant information by such person to the consumer.
From the railway sector to aviation, from the banking sector to the entertainment sector, deficiency of service could be witnessed in any service sector which holds a buyer-seller relationship. The consequences of deficiency of service can vary from being minor to grave, ranging from harassment to mental or physical injury to death, thus leading to legal consequences.
The CPA's main purpose has always been to protect and safeguard the interests of the consumers. The New CPA came into effect on 20 July 2020 and has within its ambit the physical platforms for buyer-seller relationship along with recognizing services provided by E-commerce platforms.
In Gurshinder Singh vs Sriram General Insurance Co. Ltd. & Ors. 2020 (MANU/SC/0083/2020), the Supreme Court of India held that mere delay in intimating the insurance company regarding the theft of the vehicle could not be a ground to deny the claim of the insured.
It was held that denying the claimant merely on the ground that there was some delay in intimating the insurance company would be unfair and unjust. The insurance claims should not be declined on technical grounds if it had already been verified and found to be genuine by the investigator.
Section 2(47) of the New CPA expands the definition of "unfair trade practice".
While the 1986 Act had listed six types of unfair trade practices, the New CPA states three additional types of unfair trade practices:
non-issuance of bill or cash memo or receipt for the goods sold or services rendered in such manner as may be prescribed;
refusing to withdraw or take back defective goods or to discontinue or withdraw deficient services and to refund the consideration paid, within the period stipulated in the bill, cash memo or receipt and in the absence of such stipulation, within a period of thirty days. It is relevant to determine whether the goods or deficient services have been provided; and
disclosing to another person any personal information given in confidence by the consumer unless such disclosure is made in accordance with the provisions of any law for the time being in force.
Sections 82-87 of the New CPA deal with "Product Liability". Section 2(35) of the New CPA entitles a person to make a claim of product liability against the manufacturer, seller or service provider for such defective products to compensate for the harm caused to a consumer by the defective product manufactured or sold or by deficiency in services relating to the product.
As per Section 85 of the New CPA, the product service provider may be liable if the service provided by him was faulty or imperfect or deficient or inadequate in quality, nature or manner of performance which is required to be provided by or under any law for the time being in force, or pursuant to any contract or otherwise.
No specific provision of product liability existed under the 1986 Act. However, the consumer can now seek compensation for harm caused by a defective product or a deficient service under the New CPA.
Due to the Healthcare Amendment, there has been a deletion of "Healthcare" from the definition of services under the New CPA. The Supreme Court in Indian Medical Association vs VP Shantha & Ors. (1996 AIR 550) had included Healthcare into the definition of services under the 1986 Act. However, it is yet to be seen whether the inclusion of Healthcare will continue to apply under the New CPA.
Jurisdiction under the New CPA is decided based on the 'value of goods or services paid as consideration' by the consumer. The Consumer Courts is a 3-tier system of courts, National level, State level and District level. The threshold for pecuniary jurisdiction of the commissions are; District Commission: Rs 1 crore or less, State Commission: Rs 1 crore to Rs 10 crore, and National Commission: Exceeding Rs 10 crore.
The aggrieved consumer may approach the Grievance Redressal Mechanism of the Service Provider before initiating any legal action against the service provider.
The aggrieved consumer can also send the legal notice to the service provider detailing the complaint, relief sought and time period to comply.
The sending of the Legal Notice is not mandatory, and hence the aggrieved consumer can file the complaint directly before the appropriate Consumer Forum.
As per Section 37 of the New CPA, if as per the District Commission there exists a possibility of a settlement which may be acceptable to the parties, it may direct the parties to give consent in writing, within five days, to have their dispute settled by mediation. Where the parties agree for settlement by mediation and give their consent in writing, the District Commission shall, within five days of receipt of such consent, refer the matter for mediation.
The complainant, if not satisfied with the verdict passed by the District Consumer Forum, can file a review application, within 30 days from the date of order, in the same Forum (Section 40 of the New CPA). Furthermore, if still not satisfied by order of the review application, the aggrieved can appeal to the State Commission within 45 days from the date of order (Section 41 of the New CPA).
The aggrieved if not satisfied with the State Commission order, can file a review application, within 30 days from the date of order, in the same Forum (Section 50 of the New CPA) and accordingly can appeal to the National Forum within 30 days from the date of order given by prior Forum (Section 51 of the New CPA).
'Buyers beware' is no more the norm with the New CPA in force. The consumer is now the king, not just in business but also in law as the New CPA leverages responsibilities on the sellers, manufacturers, service providers and also the endorsers of such products. The New CPA fastens the process of resolving the disputes and also offers mediation cells for easy settlement.

Fine dust cannot be detected by smell or taste. The extremely small particles are only visible when they are present in the air in very high concentrations. The smallest fine dust particles penetrate deeply into the airways and can reach the bloodstream through the pulmonary alveoli. This can result not only in respiratory diseases but also disorders of the cardiovascular system, cancer, and other diseases. The precise determination of fine dust concentration in the air is becoming more and more important. This applies both to research and monitoring of air quality by environmental measurements, as well as for protection of health through fine dust measurements in schools, workplaces and in industrial processes. Sollae Systems' serial Ethernet networking module provides a low-cost network solution for the fine dust monitoring system.
This networking module enables a fine dust measurement device to get a networking connectivity quickly. With this module, therefore, access to the environmental fine dust monitor is granted at any time via the network, and measurement data can be visualized or retrieved in real-time. It consequently facilitates remote monitoring of data for analyzing particle number concentration and particle size distribution of fine dust in the air.
