Q. Can my wife or her family file a false 498a (dowry) case against me? What are the indications that a wife or her family can file 498a?
Q. Neither I nor any of my relatives demanded or have taken any dowry. Can she still file 498a?
A. Yes. Any Indian wife and her relative can file 498a on her husband, his parents, sisters, brothers, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, wives of brothers, and other relatives. 498a (dowry harassment case) leads to arrest without any verification or investigation.
Q. I have given a huge amount, say Rs. 5 lacs, to my wife or her parents by cheque. Can she still file 498a?
A. Yes. No investigation is done before 498a is filed and arrest warrants are issued without investigation.
Q. My parents never stayed with us. Can she still file 498a against them?
Q. My wife or her family is threatening to file 498a and they are very abusive. What should I do?
A. Safeguard yourself, your parents and your relatives.
1) Be very polite in all circumstances. Record all conversations (voice, chat, email, letters, etc.) with those threatening and keep the originals in a safe place. Never produce the originals before anyone, not even before your lawyer. You can buy Olympus W-10 voice recorder, which costs about Rs.4500. You can also buy a telephone recorder.
2) Write a complaint to your nearest police station, detailing about blackmailing, her false allegations and her unscrupulous behavior. And request in your complaint to make her stop the threats and abuses immediately.
3) File RCR (Restitution of Conjugal Rights). Remember to include conditions that she should agree on before she starts living with you again.
4) Collect evidence to prove that you have neither demanded dowry or have taken it anytime.
5) Collect evidence to prove that she moved out of the bond of marriage for no apparent reason.
6) If she does not already know, make sure that she does not come to know that any of your family members is an NRI.
7) Don't remain home during weekends and holidays. Have proofs of where you were. For instance, if you were in a mall, have a credit card transaction in that mall and keep the copy of that transaction.
Q. I think that I should go for divorce instead. Is it a good idea?
Q. I'm very worried about my parents. What should I do to protect them?
A. Disown them legally: ask your family members to give legal notice by way of affidavit in two newspapers. Ask them to produce the newspapers before the Circle Inspector and Investigating Officer before and when they come to arrest them. If your family members are still arrested, produce the newspapers at the time of applying for anticipatory/ regular bail.
Show up a smiling face to them. Your happy face will provide them the strength.
Q. My wife or her family are demanding money, joint property, joint account, separate accommodation, jewels, etc. and threaten, directly or indirectly, that they will file 498a if their demands are not met. What should I do?
A. Don't meet their unreasonable demands. It usually doesn't help. It will rob you of your hard-earned money that you need to spend on lawyers later. If you lose it now, you will not have anything to fight your case later in court and you'll become almost a bonded labor.
If you still need to pay them money, pay it as an explicit loan and only by cheque so that you have a record of the transaction.
Q. We went to the police, but they didn't write down what I stated verbally. What is the solution?
A. Simple. Write a complain letter yourself and submit the same in police station and get "received stamp" on xerox copy. If the police refuse to give a stamped copy, address your complaint letter to the "police officer in-charge, local area" and mention at the end of the letter that it is CC'ed to the SP. Then submit it to police. They are bound to take that and act on it. If they still do not give you a stamped copy, send it to the police by registered post and retain the acknowledgement.
Q. I fear that if the police take any action on my complaint, my wife will lodge 498a immediately? Should I still submit the complaint?
A. Yes. Simply tell the police not to act on it. Even if they say they will act on it, they will not (99.99%).
Q. When station in-charge of police station does not register the case, what can I do?
A. You have the below options.
1) Try to get the reason for not registering the complaint in written.
2) Approach SP of district.
4) Approach local heavyweights, NGOs, human rights activists, etc.
5) If any of the above does not work or you do not want to take these approaches, then the last and final solution will be to approach the court. Please read the judgment below which clearly states what you can do if police does not register your FIR.
6 . In our opinion, if it is alleged that a crime has been committed and some one goes to file an F.I.R ., and either the F.I.R. is not lodged at the police station, or, having been lodged, it is alleged that proper investigation is not being done by the police, then the remedy of the complainant is to make an application under section 156(3) Cr.P.C. before the Magistrate mentioning all these facts, and it is open to the Magistrate to direct the police to lodge the FIR and/or to do a proper investigation of the alleged crime.
Q. Is there anyway 498a can be averted at police station?
A. Yes. By effective bribing, 498a can be averted in police station permanently. But, if she has contacts, then it may not be possible.
Q. I want to discuss my case with someone. What are the helpline numbers?
A. Below are the helpline numbers of volunteers. At these numbers, you can get help and counseling for pre-498a and post-498a cases.
Q. What is considered as streedhan? Does it include the items that I or my parents gifted to her during or after the wedding ceremony?
A. Whatever is given to the wife (as gift) at the time of marriage and even after the marriage by either side is a part of streedhan. It also includes the articles which she has purchased (from her earnings) after the marriage.
However, the articles gifted to the husband from either side are not a part of streedhan. For example, clothes, rings, watches, etc. gifted to husband at the time of marriage are not a part of streedhan and she cannot claim that. Also, the money she spent to run household cannot be claimed by her.
Q. You demanded money to meet some emergency. Will it be called dowry?
A. No. A demand for money on account of some financial stringency or for meeting some urgent domestic expenses or for purchasing manure cannot be termed as a demand for dowry.
Q. Does the expenditure by the women side on marriage/engagement functions can be claimed by them before or during divorce?
Q. My wife lies that some or all of the items that are a part of streedhan are still with me. What should I do?
A. Collect evidence to prove that she is lying and that the items are with her.
Q. My wife has filed a complaint against me in Women Cell stating that some or all of the items that are part of streedhan are still with me. What should I do?
A. In the Women Cell, you ask for the evidence, such as bills, photographs, etc, that proves that the items stated by her were indeed a part of streedhan. Return to your wife only those items for which she could provide evidence. Don't forget to get a signed document from her stating that the items have been returned to her. Keep all the bills, etc with yourself. If she submits any false bills, you can file a case under section IPC 420 against her.
Q. Is it mandatory to make any commitments in Women Cell?
A. No. Instead you should avoid saying you will live or will NOT live with her. If the women's cell tries to corner you, simply say that first your wife should stop threatening you and then you'll decide. You can also request women's cell to tell your wife that if she has any problems with the matrimony she is free to go to the family court and seek necessary CIVIL remedies. She should not convert that into a false CRIMINAL case.
Q. I know that my wife is going to file 498a against me and my relatives? Can I apply for anticipatory bail now?
A. You can apply for anticipatory bail only after your case goes into CAW cell.
Q. Should I obtain Anticipatory Bail or should I wait until the FIR is lodged and obtain a regular bail?
A. Well it depends. Anticipatory bail costs significantly more than a regular bail. An anticipatory bail could cost you Rs 25,000/ and upwards whereas a regular bail would cost somewhere around 3000/-. If you obtain an anticipatory bail you never have to go to jail whereas for getting a regular bail you may get jailed first and then your lawyer applies for a regular bail and if the application is accepted, you get you out of jail. So it is up to you to decide whether you go for an AB or a regular bail. Moreover for obtaining an anticipatory bail you may have to prove in front of the judge that you are expecting a FIR to be lodged against you.
Q. My wife has filed complaint against me and family. The FIR is not yet filed. It is at complaint stage. Police has called me to police station what should I do?
A. One of the common mistakes most 498a victims do is they go the police station not knowing that 498a is already filed. As soon as they walk in, they get arrested. So, better, send your lawyer to find the details. We have heard that bribing the police to get info about FIR works well. As soon as the FIR is registered, go underground and apply for Anticipatory Bail. Going underground doesn't harm your case.
Q. My wife complaint against me under 498a? What should I do?
A. First, get bail application in court. If the police couldn't arrest you, do not surrender to the police. Second, keep collecting evidence. You have to create your evidence for innocence. Start to counter charge them and start making your story. Start writing letters to the President, the Prime Minister, media, human rights organizations, etc telling them of the misuse of the law.
Q. I am an NRI and my wife has filed a FIR for dowry harassment under section 498a. Now, they say they have informed CBI and Interpol. Can they get me extradited?
A. The procedures involved in extradition are too complex and many murder accused have not got extradited. So, the chance of an extradition proceedings starting for 498a accused is nill. So, rest assured that this entire thing is to harass and confuse you.
Q. I am a NRI and my wife went back to India and filed false 498a against me and my family. What should I do?
A. File a divorce petition in the place where you currently reside (provided you are eligible to file a petition based on the local laws). Get anticipatory bail or bail depending on the current situation for your parents in India. After you obtain your divorce get it legalized in India. If your false 498a case does not get quashed easily file counter cases against her for forgery and defamation etc to make your case stronger and for a possible quick settlement.
Q. Can she oppose my bail application in court?
A. Not directly. It is only the state counsel who can be heard in opposing the bail application (The citation if os M.Cr.C.No.507 of 2006, Dated 05/05/2006). Her lawyer can also make a representation on her behalf.
Q. My wife filed a false 498a case against me. Should I only defend myself or should I become offensive?
A. It is said that offense is the best defense. File a case under Cr.P.C. 227 stating that the 498a case filled by your wife is false. If you have enough proofs, or if she does not have enough proof to substantiate the charges, ask the judge to just dismiss the 498A case as it is a framed one.
To make your case stronger and to expect an earlier settlement file counter cases against her to give her a taste of her own venom.
Below is a list of counter cases.
If she breaks into your home, creates a scene, and goes to " protection officer " and lies that you abused her "physically, emotionally or economically", file a damage recovery case u/s 9 of CPC against her. Legally, you must issue notice on the same day or next day. The suit will continue for long time. It has no risk.
Also u/s 9 of CPC (law of torts), claim damages for loss of consortium.
Q. How do I make sure that my ex-wife does not file a false 498A again in the future?
A. She could possibly file a false 498a again in the future. The only recourse is to make her understand that you are not going to take it lightly and you are going to take appropriate actions if she does it again. If you break her first false 498a into multiple cases and file counter cases against her for defamation, forgery etc that may prevent her from refilling another 498a in future.
Q. Does a man have to pay 1/3 of his salary as maintenance in case the wife claims maintenance?
Q. My wife filed a false case that I am impotent, do you suggest any judgements which can help me out from this false case?
A. 1. AP High Court, Susarala Subramanya Shetty Vs S Padmavati, CMA 3155 of 2002.
Q. What is the maximum maintenance amount for a resident Indian?
A. Maximum is around Rs.3000 per month. Exceptions are very rare.
Q. What is the maximum maintenance amount for a non-resident Indian (NRI)?
A. Maximum is about Rs.10000 per month. Exceptions are very rare.
Q. Can I appeal the order of maintenance?
A. Yes. You can appeal (get it set-aside) within 3 months of the order.
Q. Can I bring some facts to the judge and get my maintenance reduced?
1) If the wife is working, then the amount can be quite less.
2) If the wife owns a property, the amount can further be reduced (Section 25(1) of HMA).
3) Your other liabilities: house rent, medical bills for the amount spent on the treatment of your parents, liabilities towards sister(s), loan payments, provident fund, tax, etc.
4) Adultery or remarriage (Section 25(3) of HMA and Section 125(3) of CrPC) will lead to cancellation of maintenance.
5) Without any sufficient reason, the wife refuses to live with her husband (Section 125(4) of CrPC) . Use your wife's failure to comply with RCR.
6) Both are living seperately by mutual consent (Section 125(4) of CrPC).
Q. Can my wife claim a share in my or in my parents' property?
Q. Can my wife claim Residence Rights in my or in my parents' property?
A. She can claim residence rights of a part of the last accommodation she lived in with you.
Q. What is one-time alimony?
A. Instead of giving regular maintenance, it may be possible to make a one time settlement in which the guy gives a lump sum amount to the wife. Often, the lawyers of both sides encourage the women to demand astronomical amounts as alimony. CAW (Crime Against Women) cells often coerce the man and his family as well. Sources tell, there are parties in this whole extortion who get their shares. One of our aims should be to bypass the crooks while negotiating these amounts.
Q. My charge-sheet has not been submitted. What should I do?
1) Ask the Investigating Officer to issue a certificate that the 498a complaint is false.
2) Go for quash on FIR.
3) Use Right to Information (RTI).
Q. First my wife filed 498a and then she filed Domestic Violence (DV) act. What should I do?
A. Appeal to high court for the stay of DV act. As long as 498a is ongoing, DV act application is not valid, and stay till the time high court petition is disposed off.
Q. My wife has already filed false 498a against me and my family, but now she wants to compromise and settle back with me again. What should I do?
A. It is not easy to trust someone who has resorted to use 498a in order to harass you and your family. You are the best judge of her and the situation after she comes back to live with you. If you want to give your wife a second chance, do so at your own peril. One of the biggest risks of letting her come back is that she will be able to file 304B and put you in jail. Most of 304B cases happen because of this reason.
Q. I am an NRI. My wife filed false 498a/406 on me in India some time back. Now she says that she repents about all that happened and is ready to sign any agreements stating that she will not file such cases again, both in the US and in India. Can I take her back (to a foreign country) if I have such agreements?
A: Very important point to note that you cannot enter these kind of clauses that your wife going forward cannot file complaints against you under Domestic Violence in USA or in India.
Even Child Custody & Support is the controversial matter which your wife can always challenge in the court anywhere in the world even if you have already entered a clause in either Pre-Nuptial or Post-Nuptial agreements.
Only things which can work pretty much in these Pre-Nuptial & Post-Nuptial agreements are mutually agreed division of property, cash and other assets like car etc in the event of separation or divorce.
If you enter the clauses related to domestic violence or assault as such in to pre/post natal agreements, and something happen like that no court will agree on this and you will be charged for a Domestic Violence if your wife complaints to police and you will be jailed immediately for up to a year in USA (no idea on other countries). Once these charges will be proved wrong later on then you can sue your wife for your losses occurred during this period. But if your wife is not working then you can't do much to re-cover your losses.
Q. I have got an ex parte decree. What should I do?
A. Send by registered post a copy of the decree to her last known place of residence with an acknowledgment due. Publish the decree in a newspaper which has a edition in her city. Your job is over. Carry on with life. You can remarry one month after this publication.
Q. Are the counseling centers at police stations sincere?
A. Generally No. They and police have a nexus. The counseling centers are normally run by NGOs. If the guy is a techie or an NRI, then the police ensure that 498a gets filed. If he and his wife somehow avert it, then they are directed to the counseling centre. These centers stage manage towards a 498a. Unofficial sources say half of the bribes police gets go to the NGOs via back channel.
Q. Should I compromise for false 498a? Should I go for out of court settlement by paying money?
A. First of all, do not do compromise by paying money, if you have to compromise, do it without paying any single paisa. If you pay money, you are indirectly either accepting the blackmailing or agreeing the guilt. In the society, you are encouraging unscrupulous women to do more blackmailing. Moreover, when you will remarry after the divorce, your second wife will know that you are prone to blackmail. You will again be vulnerable to a second blackmail.
Despite of all this, if you decide to pay and compromise then DO NOT PAY all the money till high court or above courts have given the final order of compounding the IPC 498a and all offence including the divorce decree. You should get this in writing (in the same agreement) by her and her family members (get it notarized). Also get them to file court statement under IPC-156 that they will not challenge this order in higher courts and that they will take back all the cases filed against you and all your relatives in all the courts.
Q. Can the IPC-498a be compounded by lower courts (if wife gives the statement that she does not want to pursue the case?
A. No. Please remember that IPC 498a can be compounded only by High Courts (498a is compoundable in Andhra Pradesh) or the Supreme Court. Lower courts do not have this authority.
Q. My passport has been impounded. How can I get it back?
A. Use section 451 and 457 of IPC to get them back.
Q. I am not allowed to leave the jurisdiction of the court. What should I do?
A. Use section 437 of IPC to get the condition relaxed.
Your lawyer should file IPC 205 petition to allow you to travel.
Q. What is the role of lawyers in 498a cases?
A. Lawyers generally encourage women to file 498a. Lawyers from both sides join hands and guide the case in such a manner that the case gets prolonged and the guy agrees for a hefty settlement. Lawyers get some 20% of the big settlement amount.
Q. I feel my lawyer is squeezing me out. Could you suggest me how much should a lawyer charge for Anticipatory bail and regular bail? Could someone tell what would be the minimum and the uppermost limit for Bail Charges?
A. There is no approved schedule of rates. Rates vary on a case-by-case, person-to-person basis. However, you must tell the lawyer clearly about your budget. Lawyer fee and bail amount depends on the factors mentioned below.
a) Where the Bail application is being filed. Ex. Session/high Court.
b) How senior and what is the reputation of the Lawyer.
c) How many accused are involved?
d) How difficult is the case?
Q. What is the stand of judiciary on 498a misuse?
A. Judiciary knows very well about 498a misuse. Supreme Court called it legal terrorism. But all are a kind of helpless due to pressures from feminist groups. There is a bill on Rajya Sabha for amendment to 498a. Justice Malimath, former chief justice of Karnataka and Kerala high courts headed a committee which gave its report on comprehensive amendments on Criminal Laws. This committee recommended that 498a be made bailable and compoundable. Feminist groups and their contacts inside Amnesty International cried foul and threatened for agitation on this issue.
Q. How long does a 498a case run?
A. It generally runs for 4 to 5 years.
Q. What is the conviction rate in 498a?
A. It is only 2% or even less.
Q. Does 498a help the real dowry harassment victims?
A. Generally no. It helps sometimes when the girl is dead. The police often send the women back to her husband giving him and his family a warning.
Q. How can I contribute to the fight against 498a?
Q. What is the relation between 498a and feminism?
A. Indian feminism gets almost 100% inspired from western feminism. In the background, feminism and left-wing thinking is interconnected. Indian Feminists demand that 498a be kept as non-bailable and non-compoundable even though many women and old people spend time in jail, as they get falsely accused. They say, women must be protected from dowry deaths, no matter whether men are protected from misuse of 498a or not. This means, they do not care about men, his parents, sisters, brothers, and other relatives.
Q. What is the difference between quashing, withdrawing and compromising 498A case against you?
A. Following are the terms used by lawyers and judges and police.
Setting aside- When a party gets aggrieved by any order of a lower court, a revision petition is filed to set aside that order.
Quashing- When a party is aggrieved by a judgment, an appeal is filed to quash the judgment.
Expunction -When a party is aggrieved by certain observations/findings and not necessarily the order/judgment, then the higher court is petitioned to expunge the portions objected.
Withdrawing-When a complainant no more wants to pursue a case, s/he prays the trial court for withdrawal of the case. If the court is satisfied, then it orders as "dismissed as withdrawn". Since 498a is a cognizable criminal case, she cannot withdraw without your consent.
Compromise-Settle the matter outside the court and inform it to close the case.
Reconciliation -Forgive and forget. The difference is that in compromise there may be terms and conditions of settlement but in reconciliation no there are no terms and conditions.
Q. What is the difference between a petition getting dismissed and disposed?
Dismissed: Means the relief asked by you is Rejected.
Disposed: The court gives some direction either to you or respondents to do or not to do something. Your main relief may or may not be granted. But some direction is given through these orders.
Q. Can a woman ask for interim maintenance during 498A case?
A. A wife can ask Interim Maintanence or Alimony at any time after she parted you. There is no time bar to specify that she should ask with in so and so days. If she prefers, she can ask at any time and even years will not bar her.
Cognizable: a police officer may, in accordance with the First Schedule or under and other law for the time being in force, arrest without warrant.

Bleeding The human body includes wood systems and organs which work together to keep up both outside and central conditions of your body. The significance of the human body's maintenance program is definitely high. Persons can certainly get sick as a result of fluctuations of the inner ailments and different changes that could arise anytime as a result of any cause.
Specially when the immune system or different techniques work inefficiently inside the human body outer conditions could greatly affect the internal ailments of the human body. There are many elements creating fluctuations and these changes. However, the human body attempts its far better keep up with the suitable condition or even the energetic stability (which is around 37 degrees Celsius).
The fundamental preservation system works with areas, arteries, and structure fluids since they are important factors to regulate changes in the body problem. By incorporating or removing the substances from tissues, blood vessels, and structure fluids, the five principal body programs work properly to reach balance that is dynamic.
The Five Principal Devices: Among The most important systems will be the system. The system functions protecting body cells from acquiring all sorts of illnesses. The breathing includes the lungs. The lungs are responsible for the breathing process which requires Oxygen's consumption and also the removal of Carbon Dioxide.
The digestive system includes the standard organs such as gallbladder, the intestines, the belly as well as other equipment organs which include: the esophagus, teeth the gland, and mouth. The gastrointestinal system contains the capacity to consume them into materials and vitamins and primarily accepts the intake of food your body requirements. It's vital that you know-all organs and components and main roles enjoy in each system.
As an example, the spit represents with a significant role within digestion's first-step. Since it includes an enzyme named Amylase, which reduces starch into glucose, the gastrointestinal system can operate effectively in process as it subsequently sends the foodstuff elements towards the intestines subsequently to the abdomen to carry on the method. In maintaining the stability of your body the final system which assists may be the system.


I have a noisy aircon fan. Squeek is proportional to fan speed, and is noisier under braking.
Sounds like the bearings in the fan are shot.
a) where / how much for a new fan?
b) how big a ball ache is it to replace? I've got the "replaced an E46 hedgehog" medal, but hoping its easier than that!
As he says.....^ will work a treat and cost nothing.
Thats a good idea. Thanks. I take it the smell goes away quickly?!?
Top tip Jinjur - thanks!
1. Mircofilter removed - 6 x 8mm hex bolts (how dealers dare charge more than £30 to do this (inc parts) beggars belief).
4. Here you can make out the fan behind the vent - complete with rusty bolt in the centre. Quick squirt of WD40 through its straw straight onto the fan. I had the fan on high speed with all the windows open.
Smelled a bit, but WD40 doesn't smell too bad. After 1hr or so driving, hardly smells at all now.
Most importantly = NO SQUEEKING! Result.
I'd have used white lithium grease, WD40 is very thin and won't last long.
I'd agree - but access is not really very good - look at the first pic - that fan is really buried. I'm not sure its really the rusty bolt bit that is the issue - I think this works as the WD40 is able to penetrate a number of bits of the fan assembly.
PS when does your 1M arrive?
I think WD gives it all it needs tbh....I dont think lithium grease would penetrate as well either although if you could actually get at it, lithium would probably be better.
And another Jinjur top tip, I naffled 3 of the wee straws that you get with WD40 and used heat shrink to connect them together to give a reach of about 35 or 40 cms.
Makes it much easier and also is easily reversible.
it only takes 5 minutes - and when you do it you'll think - "I wish I had done that months ago!"
Just noticed this noise in my car today. It's present when cold, at low fan speed (goes away if speed is increased) and under braking.
Will execute the WD-40 procedure asap. Did you spray the WD-40 while fan was turned on or off?
Last edited by EQUANT; 01-30-2012 at 03:55 PM.
Just got out of the house and did it to mine, also. I sprayed with the fan off, using the thin straw from WD-40 spray can. Then i started the fan for a few seconds, stopped and sprayed some more.
ps: mine also had the rusted bolt in the center, although i noticed it had some sort of 'cover' over that part (probably to avoid water from pouring directly on the bolt). Don't think the actual bolt is the problem; more likely the motor shaft/ shaft sleeve + slight rust on them.
I ended up taking the whole fan assembly out from the dash so I could get some spray chain lube onto the bearing.Hopefully this should keep any water from re-entering it.
Put a couple of squirts of plus gas in it first mind to stop the squeak.
Job took about 30 mins, so not too bad, and because you are spraying right onto the bearing itself. And not the fan itself, hardly any smell could be noticed on start-up.
Well, noise is gone now. That was easy enough to do.
Thanks for the good info guys!
Are you talking about lubricating the fan on the car or your nether regions Will.
This is a great Forum, I almost want mine to start making a noise so that I can fix it!!
Going to give it a go! This damn fan! Thanks men!

For many years I wrote for Nor'Westing Magazine. When writing a column called Tips and Tales Afloat, every year at the holidays I offered gift ideas for boat lovers. I decided to do that for us.
They can be rolled up or stored flat taking up no room but greatly expanding limited cutting surfaces in galleys or on deck. You can find them at supermarkets or cooking shops.
An eight-cup plastic bowl with a steamer lid. You'll use the microwave for more than leftovers and won't steam up the boat boiling things. Perfect for speedy rice, no soak beans (20 minutes from hard beans to useable), artichokes (rinse off and cook 15 minutes with no water). Add a good microwave cookbook to expand creative use of this speedy but often under-used appliance.
There is a 3qt. size re. space, but I live aboard on a 42' with a small galley and couldn't live without my 6 qt. I do most cooking in it these days. There are some great Black Friday deals coming up at Walmart, Kohls, Amazon et. al.
It's not complicated to surprise someone with a custom shirt with their boat name, a nautical design or even a picture of their boat! If you are a late gift buyer, I've used the Ram Copy Center on University Way and 42nd. They have white T shirts available, if you bring your own, for best quality buy white shirts and make sure the material is 50% cotton and 50% polyester. Wash and dry them to pre shrink. They will take your picture or a zip drive with it and make a copy of it onto special transfer paper. You will then trim the edges close to the design and show them where you want it on the shirt. They will lay the shirt on a transfer machine and transfer design to shirt. If you have time, there are many online companies that will make custom shirts, hats, etc.
Another gift idea came from a neighbor who has a bristol Grand Banks down the dock. He had his son design him an attractive sheet of instructions to be given to all onboard guests. It welcomes them and instructs them where life vests are stowed, garbage locations (nothing overboard) and head instructions (nothing but paper and how to flush). It has a nautical design in the background. He makes copies of the sheet and keeps them onboard. A sheet could be customized for your boats procedures. Create your own or use a large copy centers like Staples. Their desktop publishing personnel could quickly put it together attractively, even adding some nautical clip art.
Add tradition, festivity and color to your boat or a friends bot this year with a complete set of signal flags, an organization burgee, sports team flags or even an attractive wind sock.
Consider the book: Longitude: The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Problem of His Time by Dava Sobel.
For a history buff Avalon Hill puts out a computer game called Wooden Ships and Iron Men involving battles with square rigged ships. You could combine that with one of the great books of the Patrick O'Brian series chronicling adventures aboard square-rigged sailing ships in the Napoleonic era.
Introduce little ones to water birds with a colorful, plush Puffin puppet, combined with a book about Puffins called Nights of the Pufflings by McMillan.
Do you have information on the female captain who trained women on their boats, knew electronics, etc.? We have a new boat and I want some one on one help. Thanks!


Adam Collinson, Director of Research and Development at GrayHair Software, will be presenting at this year's MAILCOM '19 at the Tropicana in Atlantic City, NJ, April 8-10.
Adam's session, Cycle O is Coming, Be Prepared, is scheduled for Tuesday, April 9, at 2:15 P.M. Here is the synopsis of his session: It has been a while since the industry saw a new Address Quality Cycle. Cycle O is coming in 2020 and contains a number of changes to many processes. Mailers need to take action prior to Cycle O for many reasons – prevent the loss of discounts on some mail, reduce (today) the amount of mail that could not be delivered, determine which new data points are of use and how, and even, is it time to outsource these operations.

How Women's Clothing Has Changed Over the Years
5Aug 2022 Uncategorized
Women's fashion has changed over time. Today, if you look away from the fashion shows and magazines, you will notice that things have already changed. It's still unclear how trends are chosen, but if you go back in time to observe how women used to dress, you'll see that some designers draw their inspiration from earlier styles. Consider learning about the history of women's clothing to gain a better understanding of how women dress and how contemporary designers develop their ideas WOMEN TROUSERS.
God gave Adam and Eve clothing to cover themselves with as soon as He cast them out. Over the course of the biblical era, these clothes eventually developed into what we now correctly refer to as tunics, and both men and women wore clothing that reached their knees.
It didn't take a different direction until the fifteenth century. Women were often seen in those days donning long, sleeveless gowns that were layered over skin-covering chemises. The corset was also first introduced during this time. Women in those days had to have extremely narrow waists, so under their gowns, they wore corsets to maintain their figures.
Women of the 1700s wore petticoats that were worn to open the skirts like a flower in bloom while still donning gowns.
If you could go back in time, you would browse through the early decades before sluggishly approaching the 1900s, when women's fashion will suddenly start to look more familiar. Numerous clothing trends from those decades are still prevalent today. Women in this era came across lingerie dresses, which are essentially cotton or linen day dresses. In warm weather, women prefer these heavily laced shoes. During this time, tailored clothing also began to appear. These garments essentially resembled men's shirts with high collars and were worn as a uniform at work. In these years, the term "haute couture" was also coined, along with form-fitting high gowns with high waists, long jackets that resembled tunics, straight-line corsets, and ankle-length skirts. Petticoats and restrictive corsets are a thing of the past; instead, women preferred straight silhouettes with a tiny bust, waist, and hips.
The 1920s saw a huge modernization of fashion. Following World War I, fashion changed, becoming less traditional and slightly more boyish, particularly in the US and Europe. Women preferred the more flattening style of the shorter, pleated skirts as the corset slowly faded from fashion.
Poodle skirts were very popular in 1950. These skirts gained enormous popularity during the swing era, which this was. The pencil-style skirt was another type of skirt that gained a lot of popularity. Women of that era simply adored these skirts because they were short and quite seductive.
The diversity of women's clothing increased in the 1960s, which was also the time when fashion trends began to take off. Pastel colours, geometric patterns, and large buttons rose to prominence in the early 1960s.
The most varied fashion era was the 1980s. Women at this time had a choice between supporting the 'New Wave' style, which featured leggings and jackets that also had a pirate-like appearance, or dressing like a Valley girl, which is essentially the preppy look of flared skirts and leg warmers.
Fashion in recent years can no longer be regarded as "new," but rather as a continuation of earlier trends. Even though they all appear quite different, you will notice that they are mostly just a better or more modernised version of the previous trend. The 20s, the 50s, and the 80s have all been revived in the world of fashion. They're fresh. Although they are modern and up to date, they are essentially the same.

Fable Developer Feels That It's Still Too Early to Show Off the Game
NewsGaming
By Peter Brosdahl
Image: Playground Games
Fable developer Playground Games refuses to show off the game despite it impressing the Head of Xbox Games Studios. Matt Booty has been so impressed by Fable's progress that he wanted to share things he's seen from the game at PAX West 2022 but the team asked him to wait.
From IGN:
"Part of my job is giving air cover to the team," he explained. "They don't want to show stuff early before it's ready to go, but if there's one game where that's kind of flipped around, where every time I see something I say, 'We should show this', it's Fable. Because there's a lot of cool stuff."
It's been two years since the first trailer announcement for the new Fable game and nearly twenty years since the action RPG arrived on the original Xbox. Microsoft chose to have Playground Games take the reigns with the new game. The team is best known for its work on the Forza series and Fable is using the Forza engine. Last year the team gained Paweł Kapała from CD PROJEKT RED to lead the development of its combat system.
The Fable developer firmly let Matt know that they don't want to show off anything yet. He humorously added that "the team has made it very clear that I am not going to be able to show anything until it's ready," and so he was unable to include it in his Storytime segment at PAX West 2022. Although it's good to hear of his excitement with the game it's even better to know that Microsoft is giving the team the time and resources it needs to properly develop it.

As a child of the 70's I was part of the many who became enthralled by the video arcade invasion of the 1980's. Saving money from various odd jobs I purchased my first computer from a friend of my dad, a used Atari 400, around 1982. Eventually it would end up being a lifelong passion of upgrading and modifying equipment that, of course, led into a career in IT support.


It's the term every dog owner hates to hear…aggression. But the most important aspect of this behavioural problem is understanding the issue at hand, and taking ownership. Nadia Crighton investigates aggression in dogs and the reasons why training is so important.
If you are reading this, chances are deep down you are concerned about your dog's behaviour. Aggression is not something many dog owners like to admit is a problem. But if you are concerned about your dog's sudden or progressive snarling ways, it's time to get help.
A dog will become aggressive for many different reasons. As a pet owner, it's important to understand these 'triggers' and get help. Aggression will not go away on its own, and not getting help quickly can ingrain the behaviour and make it difficult to alter. It's imperative you seek advice from a professional dog trainer who can assess your dog's condition and help.
Being a responsible dog owner, you need to understand why your dog has become aggressive and how to handle it. This means reducing your dog's triggers and being prepared. It is also imperative that you have your dog under control at all times. Until you can be 100% confident that the behaviour has been reduced. Read more about learning to understand your dog's behaviour.
Improving your leadership skills is also a top priority when dealing with aggression. Your dog needs to know that they have a strong leader that can handle any situation. This confidence in you can help reduce the fear response in your dog. More information on training your dog to listen.
Socialisation for young pups is vital in helping prevent aggression. Exposing your pup to as many situations as possible will give them confidence in the world they live in. Socialisation can help reduce the amount of fear your dog has to some environmental triggers. Also ensuring your pet only has 'positive' experiences with people and other dogs can help minimise possible future problems.

Periodontal disease-like bone loss after adjuvant radiotherapy in the head and neck region: A case report and review of the literature
Güll, Florian D. / Deppe, Herbert / Kesting, Marco / Schwarzer, Claudia
Objective: The purpose of this study was to present a rare case of periodontal disease-like bone loss and possible treatment options. This paper discusses the pros and cons of conservative treatment and radical surgical intervention and summarizes possible complications. It focuses also on the individual situation of the patient and provides a review of literature.
Method and Materials: A 32-year-old patient presented with widening of the periodontal spaces and apical translucencies at every tooth after adjuvant radiotherapy of an oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) of the tongue. In addition, the patient suffers from slight mental retardation. The following periodontal parameters were examined: Bleeding Index, Plaque Index, tooth mobility, and clinical attachment loss. Panoramic radiography and computed tomography were used for diagnosis and follow-up purposes. The literature review was carried out systematically combined with individual searching.
Results: This study presents a distinct case of rarely mentioned periodontal-disease-like bone loss, most likely radiation-induced. This resulted in complete devitalization of the entire dentition and will eventually lead to a loss of all teeth. The review of the literature summarizes the incidence of post-radiogenic periodontitis, bone loss, and possible risk-factors of unwanted events after radiotherapy in the oral cavity and dentoalveolar structures.
Conclusion: The combination of the patient's history and individual situation makes this a special case with regard to decision making and further therapy. After carefully considering the possible options, a conservative treatment with minimal surgical interventions and close surveillance was followed. The intention was the preservation of the patient's natural dentition as long as possible as well as the prevention of an osteonecrosis of the jaw. Taking the literature review into account this article presents a patient with an unusually distinct extent of periodontal disease-like bone loss, which is not to be compared to periodontal disease.
Keywords: apical translucency, bone loss, oral squamous cell carcinoma, periodontal, radiotherapy

Twitter has had a very worrying hack
Very prominent accounts were hit but it wasn't anything they did – the hacker managed to get access to Twitter's internal tools. These tools allow employees to suspend accounts, reset passwords, and more.. but also allow the admins to be able to post as the user. This is wildly worrying – especially when prominent figures use Twitter to communicate directly to people – and a real wake up call for companies to think about how to limit what access employees have to these type of 'god-like' powers.
We don't know who is behind this or how they got into the tools. We also don't know if they tried to post as President Donald Trump, but we do know that his account has extra protections on it.
Zoom now sells a home video conferencing kit
Zoom says people still find getting connected to meetings difficult, so is working to make it easier by selling a new tool. It's a 27 inch tablet, with three smart webcams built in and eight microphones. It comes pre-installed with Zoom and is very similar to the types of Zoom kits that you expect in meeting rooms, except that this one is an all-in-one machine. The idea is you can pull it out of the box and it's ready to go.
It's $599 and will start shipping next month.
The pandemic is forcing video conferencing innovation
Slack sues Microsoft, a more durable cellphone, Twitter looks at subscriptions
Becoming a Twitter "Super Follower"; Captions on Zoom; Phone Lyft for a ride
Elon Musk wants to walk away from Twitter
Amazon FireTV let's you Zoom from the couch; Mandatory COVID vaccinations to return to the office

A new innovative software tool for targeting an improved environmental footprint and optimising processes in fish farming may soon be able to boost the aquaculture business to a new level. This is the aim of a new project launch by leaders in aquaculture innovation in Denmark that combines a higher degree of knowledge sharing, better research and optimized production follow up.
The past Aqua 2018 conference and exhibition in Montpellier, France, was an inspiring meeting point for all that are interested in creating value through innovation and sustainable growth of aquaculture.
25 to 29 August aquaculture stakeholders join in Montpellier, France, at the occasion of Aqua 2018. BioMar is proud to again being the Gold sponsor of Aqua 2018 and to present our input to creating an efficient and sustainable global aquaculture.
The half year report for BioMar Group has today been released by the parent company Schouw & Co. BioMar Group has increased volumes and revenue compared to 2017.

Q: How masking of sensitive data is achieved using slf4j framework? I wanted to mask the sensitive data like username/password using an slf4j framework. Immediate help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

A: Try this one.
1. First of all, we should create a class for handling our logs (each row)
public class PatternMaskingLayout extends PatternLayout {

private Pattern multilinePattern;
private List<String> maskPatterns = new ArrayList<>();

public void addMaskPattern(String maskPattern) { // invoked for every single entry in the xml
    maskPatterns.add(maskPattern);
    multilinePattern = Pattern.compile(
            String.join("|", maskPatterns), // build pattern using logical OR
            Pattern.MULTILINE
    );
}

@Override
public String doLayout(ILoggingEvent event) {
    return maskMessage(super.doLayout(event)); // calling superclass method is required
}

private String maskMessage(String message) {
    if (multilinePattern == null) {
        return message;
    }
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(message);
    Matcher matcher = multilinePattern.matcher(sb);
    while (matcher.find()) {
        if (matcher.group().contains("creditCard")) {
            maskCreditCard(sb, matcher);
        } else if (matcher.group().contains("email")) {
            // your logic for this case
        }
    }
    return sb.toString();
}
private void maskCreditCard(StringBuilder sb, Matcher matcher) {
    //here is our main logic for masking sensitive data
    String targetExpression = matcher.group();
    String[] split = targetExpression.split("=");
    String pan = split[1];
    String maskedPan = Utils.getMaskedPan(pan);
    int start = matcher.start() + split[0].length() + 1;
    int end = matcher.end();
    sb.replace(start, end, maskedPan);
}

}

*The second step is we should create appender for logback into logback.xml
<appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
<encoder class="ch.qos.logback.core.encoder.LayoutWrappingEncoder">
    <layout class="com.bpcbt.micro.utils.PatternMaskingLayout">
        <maskPattern>creditCard=\d+</maskPattern> <!-- SourcePan pattern -->
        <pattern>%d{dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n%ex</pattern>-->
    </layout>
</encoder>

*Now we can use logger into our code
log.info("card context set for creditCard={}", creditCard);

*As a result, we will see
one row from logs
card context set for creditCard=11111******111
without these options, our logs would be like this row
card context set for creditCard=1111111111111

A: Maybe this library will helpfull: owasp-security-logging
It related to OWASP Security Logging Project
 and provide related features:
LOGGER.info("userid={}", userid);
LOGGER.info(SecurityMarkers.CONFIDENTIAL, "password={}", password);

The intent is to produce the following output in the log:
2014-12-16 13:54:48,860 [main] INFO - userid=joebob
2014-12-16 13:54:48,860 [main] [CONFIDENTIAL] INFO - password=***********

More you can find in Wiki

A: Assuming you're using Java/Groovy. In your log4j2.xml, add something like:
    <PatternLayout pattern="%mm"/>

then take that pattern and create a converter for it:
@Plugin(name = 'maskLog', category = 'Converter')
@ConverterKeys(['mm'])
class MaskLogConverter extends LogEventPatternConverter {

    private static final String NAME = 'mm'

    private MaskLogConverter(String[] options) {
        super(NAME, NAME)
    }

    static LogMaskingConverter newInstance(final String[] options) {
        return new LogMaskingConverter(options)
    }

    @Override
    void format(LogEvent event, StringBuilder outputMessage) {
        String message = event.message//.formattedMessage

        // Do your masking logic here

        outputMessage.append(message)
    }
}

Inside that class you can mask, transform, parse, etc. accordingly.

A: The framework itself won't do the masking, nor should you expect it to. It's a very bad practice to pass confidential information to a reporting system. In your log.info() call, make sure to substitute the password with asterisks. There is no point in masking the username because you might as well not log anything.
log.info("Successful login: {0} ********", username);
