HANSARD 1803–2005 → 1930s → 1935 → April 1935 → 11 April 1935 → Commons Sitting → GOVERNMENT OF INDIA BILL.
CLAUSE 449.—(Commencement.)
HC Deb 11 April 1935 vol 300 cc1351-7 1351
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Mr. Butler)
I beg to move, in page 254, line 8, to leave out subsection (3), and to insert: (3) If it appears to His Majesty in Council that it will not be practicable or convenient that all the provisions of this Act which are under the foregoing provisions of this section to come into force on a date therein mentioned should come into operation simultaneously on that date, His Majesty in Council may, notwithstanding anything in this section, fix an earlier or a later date for the coming into operation, either generally or for particular purposes, of any particular provisions of this Act. 1352 This is largely a drafting Amendment and raises no question which needs any detailed explanation.
§ 3.49 p.m.
§ Mr. HERBERT WILLIAMS
The Amendment provides that His Majesty in Council may, notwithstanding anything in this Clause, fix an earlier or a later date for the coming into operation of the Act. Under an earlier Clause it is laid down that before His Majesty in in Council does anything under the Act a draft of the Order has to be submitted to Parliament. Normally, when the date of the coming into operation of an Act is fixed by His Majesty in Council the purely administrative decision is left to the Department concerned. In this case, having regard to the earlier Clause describing the procedure in regard to Orders-in-Council, I want to be certain whether that Clause governs the Clause which we are now considering, with regard to the decision as to bringing the Bill into operation, and whether it will be the case that the draft of the Order will have to be laid before Parliament so that in fact Parliament will decide on what date the different parts of the Bill will come into operation.
§ Mr. BUTLER
The hon. Member is referring to Clause 286, and it is correct to say that the Order will be laid before Parliament and that Parliament wilt have the decisions on the matter.
§ Mr. MORGAN JONES
May I ask whether this Amendment applies in common to India and Burma?
That is so.
§ Mr. JONES
The hon. Gentleman will know that the question of the date of the coming into operation of this Bill is very present in the minds of the Indian people. They are very anxious about it and always have been, and I can only express the hope that the Government in taking this power—and I understand why they are seeking to secure this power—will not in any way postpone unnecessarily the date of the coming into operation of the Bill, certainly as far as the Provinces are concerned. I put in that proviso, because I am losing my faith in the other part of the Bill with regard to Federation. Whatever my own views may be about this, I am sure that the 1353 Indian people will be extremely disappointed if there is a long hiatus between the final discussions on the Bill and the coming into operation of its provisions.
§ Brigadier-General Sir HENRY CROFT
I. hope that the Government will also bear in mind the grave anxiety in many quarters of the Committee that the Bill should not come into operation until they are absolutely convinced that the financial situation in the Provinces is different from what it is at the present time. Any attempt to hasten the coming into operation of the Bill until this position is cleared up will be contrary to all the pledges we have received, and I hope that the Government will not be lured by the siren voice of the hon. Member for Caerphilly (Mr. M. Jones).
§ Mr. H. WILLIAMS
The Under-Secretary has not quite satisfied my point. In the new Sub-section the words are "His Majesty in Council". In Clause 287 the phrasing is rather different: "His Majesty may by Order-in-Council." I am not certain that it means the same thing when you say, "His Majesty by Order-in-Council" may do something, and "His Majesty in Council" may fix the date. There may be some difference in constitutional practice. There is another point in Clause 286, which the Under-Secretary reminded me was the pertinent Clause. There is an urgent provision in Sub-section (1) under which, when something is done on grounds of 'urgency when Parliament is not sitting, it can be done subject to the Order being confirmed when Parliament meets, but if it is not confirmed it will lapse. When you have brought a section of an Act into co-operation, however, a lot of things will happen, and you cannot reverse things effectively by subsequently cancelling the order through the action of Parliament, if the order had been made when Parliament was not sitting. In these circumstances, it seems to me that the provisions of this Sub-section want a little more careful examination.
Duchess of ATHOLL
May we have an assurance that nothing in this proposed Sub-section will conflict with the inquiry into the finances of the Federation that we understand is to take place, and that nothing will over-ride the provisions as to the number of Princes who have to 1354 signify their adherence before Federation comes into force?
Any assurances given on these points will be adhered to, and there is no intention by this Clause, which is a pure machinery Clause, to go behind any assurance that has been given. The hon. Member for Caerphilly (Mr. M. Jones) asked me to assure him that there. was no intention of delaying the operation of this Bill. I can assure him that it is the intention of His Majesty's Government not to delay the inauguration of Provincial Autonomy in any way, and to. hasten on, with a great deal more optimism than he has, with the part of the Bill referring to Federation. With regard to the point of the hon. Member for South Croydon (Mr. H. Williams), the words in this Clause definitely bind the Government to bring before the House any Order-in-Council to be considered by the House, and there is no intention of implying anything different by the wording of the Clause. If there be any other implication, I will look into it, but I am advised that it covers the point the hon. Member has in mind.
What about the urgency provision?
It is our intention to put the Order-in-Council before the House when the House is sitting in order that the House may consider it. Without the approval of the House, that part of the Bill cannot come into operation.
§ Colonel WEDGWOOD
The Amendment is a great improvement in the Bill because it makes it clear that it is possible to institute Provincial Autonomy without waiting for the Central Government. May I, however, put in one further plea to the hon. Gentleman that it should be possible to consider bringing in Provincial Autonomy into certain Provinces, particularly those Provinces that want it, and to delay it for those Provinces that do not want it.
§ The CHAIRMAN
I am afraid that that does not arise on this Clause. The right hon. and gallant Gentleman is too late.
It perhaps arises more accurately on the question of the Clause standing part, but we are 1355 talking about starting Provincial Autonomy before Federation is started.
But autonomy cannot be started on separate dates for certain Provinces.
I agree that that question is not in order on this Amendment.
§ Mr. ISAAC FOOT
Can we have an express assurance from the Under-Secretary that the two parts of the Bill stand together and that there is nothing whatever in the Clause that lends colour to the suggestion that has been made, that we may have Provincial Autonomy before Federation is secured?
§ Sir H. CROFT
I hope that the Under-Secretary will give a specific answer on this subject, because in the Debates yesterday and again to-day some point has arisen for new consideration. We have been told from the start that the attitude that my hon. Friends and I have adopted, namely, that we should go forward with the great experiment in the Provinces before going forward to Federation, was absolutely impossible, and now we have been told by the Under-Secretary, speaking with all his authority, that he is going to push right ahead with provincial home rule at the earliest possible date.
I nearly stopped another hon. Member—I do not remember who he was—when he was dealing with this point, but this provision with regard to separate parts of the Bill coming into operation on separate dates is a matter we have disposed of already.
I appreciate that, but may I ask the hon. Gentleman to explain what he meant when he said that Provincial self-government would be established before Federation?
It has been settled by the Committee that the commencement of the Provincial portion of the Bill does not depend upon the commencement of the Federation portion of the Bill.
§ 4.0 p.m.
I do not think it is necessary for me to do more than reaffirm the belief of the Government in an All-India Federation, and that it has 1356 been anticipated that provincial autonomy will come into operation before the establishment of Federation. The hon. and gallant Member knows perfectly well the conditions precedent to the coming into operation of an All-India Federation. As we have discussed these matters before, I will confine myself to repeating the belief of the Government in Federation, and the intention to proceed with it as fast as possible.
I think it will be less irrelevant and less out of order.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Clause, as amended, stand part of the Bill"
§ 4.1 p.m
Colonel WEDGEWOOD
Would it be in order now to raise the question as to whether it will be possible or practicable under this Clause for the Government to consult the Legislatures in the Provinces as to whether they want provincial autonomy introduced in their particular Provinces—Whether, in fact, it will be permissible to start at different dates and to discriminate between the Provinces in securing provincial autonomy? It would make an enormous difference to the people of India if they thought they were to be consulted at all on this question. Is it possible for the Assemblies as they now are to have some voice in deciding the date at which this should come in?
I thin I had better answer the right hon. and gallant Gentleman's question before he gets any deeper in the mire. I was going to say that I never put any obstacles, if I can help it, in the way of the right hon. and gallant Gentleman or any other Member of the Committee completing his education in regard to this Bill, but I think it would be stretching a point to allow an answer to be given to a question which has been previously discussed and decided.
I will content myself, then, by asking the hon. Member if he can give any indication as to the possibility of having a separate date for such Provinces as Bengal, Bombay and Madras?
I think I can reply quite shortly by saying that it has never been 1357 our intention to treat one Province differently from another, or to introduce Provincial autonomy into one Province al; a different date from that in another.
Not even if a Province expresses a wish to have a different date?
§ Mr. MACQUISTEN
Does one Province differ much from another?
The hon. and learned Member is now trying to do what I said must not be done.
§ Question put, and agreed to.
§ Clause 450 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Back to CLAUSE 448.—(Interpretation.)
Forward to CLAUSE 451.—(Repeals.)


"The Effects of Changes in Plate Motions on the Shape of the Marquesas " by Martha G. Kuykendall, Sarah Kruse et al.
The Marquesas fracture zone (MFZ), one of the great fracture zones that formed on the Pacific-Farallon ridge system, shows dramatic variations in morphology along its strike that cannot be explained by models for lithospheric flexure in response to thermal stresses and differential subsidence. Marine geophysical data collected by the R/V Maurice Ewing in fall 1991 show that major structures in the MFZ can be correlated with changes in plate motions as the fracture zone formed. The western MFZ shows two significant changes in trend: at 209°E and at 224°E. The change in strike at 209°E records a reorientation that put the transform fault under compression and created a 100 km-long sinuous ridge within the fracture zone. The change in plate motions at 224°E induced extension in the transform fault, creating three subparallel fracture zones. These results are in accord with observations of morphological changes observed at active transform faults and other fracture zones, and suggest that even relatively small changes (∼6°) in spreading direction can produce significant structures that are preserved in the fracture zone.

Chez Monsieur Marcel " La Vie Est Belle"! We just happened to be in Santa Monica on 3rd Street Promenade few weeks ago and the fresh sea air made us very hungry. We had a leisurely bite at Marcel's. Marcel Café is a French outdoor bistro (with several locations in LA ) we had lunch on 3rd street promenade in Santa Monica. We sat in the back patio and entertained throughout lunch by a twosome of awesome blues players.
It's amazing how they whip out great dishes from their tiny portable kitchen. I liked that they also have for example " des merguez!" spicy sausage from Algeria or Morocco and other unusual goodies on the menu. We had the Boeuf Bourguignon on that chilly afternoon and the French Burger with goat cheese and shoestring fries.
La vie est belle chez Monsieur Marcel in Santa Monica!
I know another place called "Monsieur Marcel" at the "Farmers Market". Since I like very much strolling down "the promenade", I will look for that café and take "a pause".
Monsieur Marcel has two terrific locations in LA ( Santa Monica Promenade & Farmers' Market Los Angeles) & its own little market of "produits français"! Bon Appêtit!

The dumbbell row is a basic exercise that strengthens the back, shoulders, and biceps while actively engaging the core throughout the movement. Utilizing dumbbells creates balance and stability on both sides of the body.
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and hold a dumbbell in each hand. Bend the knees slightly and bend over at the waist with your back straight. Let dumbbells hand in front of the body with arms fully extended.
Contract your back, bend the arms, and pull both dumbbells up to your ribcage. Hold for one second in the top position, then lower the dumbbells to the starting position.
1. Avoid rounding the upper back. Keep the neck neutral, spine flat, and shoulders back.
2. Avoid losing the proper path of motion. Row the dumbbell to the side of your rib cage.

Why we've fallen out of love with Urban Outfitters
Sarah Kennewell
In a fiercely competitive UK fashion market, consumers are awash with choice. New entrants keep coming – recent weeks seeing Reserved, Arket and Weekday all launch here – and it's getting harder for any player to stand out. Retailers that don't cut it can be forced to exit just as quickly as they arrived – think Banana Republic, American Apparel, JCrew and Forever 21. In the last month, Urban Outfitters joined the 'watch out' list when it posted its worst results for 7 years. We've taken a look at the reasons behind the brand's decline, using our 5Drivers model of consumer emotions.
While Urban Outfitters still has an edgy, fashion-focused feel and a solid core following, our research shows the brand has recently lost its shine. Initially, the sense of #Belonging it created through a quirky persona and #Immersive in-store experience led many shoppers to fall in love. Today UO finds itself outmuscled on these qualities and in urgent need of a reappraisal.
#Belonging now belonging more to UO's rivals
Experienced via social media, the brand still possesses some of the distinctive characteristics Millennials came to adore – its provocative, creative nature projecting a lifestyle many aspire to. However, upon entering the UO website or its physical stores, shoppers can quickly come to realise these traits don't translate entirely onto the product Once admired for its bold, confident stance on fashion, which only fashionistas or those 'in-the-know' could pull off, it's ended up retreating to a more mainstream look. The emphasis on casual and athleisure means it occupies a territory saturated by rivals – almost every brand now apparently taking a punt.
UO was previously thought to stand out because of its many unique, exciting brands. Now a plethora of new, smaller online-only companies, who are all over social channels, have surpassed it. UO still has strong hero lines but, beyond these, product can suffer versus rivals who promise much of the same at more accessible price points (and often with free delivery). These players cement a sense of #Belonging by helping shoppers feel part of a unique club; rewarding big spenders (e.g. ASOS/H&M schemes) and enjoying an enviable social presence with engaging content and influencer backing (think Boohoo and Missguided). This is sometimes topped off with events for like-minded individuals (Oliver Bonas, Topshop).
#Immersion no longer a trump card for UO
UO was one of the first 'lifestyle' brands to enter the UK fashion market – uniting clothing, homeware and gifting in a truly inspiring way. At the time, the brand was seen to be way ahead of the curve – boasting an #immersive store environment that generated intrigue, with something new to be discovered in every nook and cranny.
Since then, other brands have caught up and even taken over. They've introduced more immersive formats featuring experiential elements, show-stopping innovations and lifestyle spaces that make shoppers feel part of something very exciting. They also project more new news and reasons to keep visiting. For example, Oliver Bonas now integrates home, fashion and gifting in a cohesive way that draws people round the whole store. Primark has created a Harry Potter world, which allows consumers to momentarily escape their everyday life. Even previously online-only players have joined in – Missguided submerging shoppers in a unique environment that features hashtags printed on the walls, fun mannequin displays, high-impact entrances and digital catwalks.
Topshop (top left), Oliver Bonas (top right), Primark (bottom left) Missguided (bottom right) - September 2017
In such a cut-throat fashion market, Urban Outfitters needs to do more to evoke the emotions it once so successfully dialled up. Only then will the brand play successfully to the passion its audience has for fashion.

Q: Moving a file from host with docker-compose volume before Dockerfile is built I have a few Dockerfiles that are dependant on a "pat" (Personal Access Token) file to be able to access a private nuget feed. I have taken some inspiration from somakdas to get this working.
To run my single Dockerfile I first create a "pat" file containing my token and build with docker build -f Services/User.API/Dockerfile -t userapi:dev --secret id=pat,src=pat .
This works as intended, but my issue is getting this to work using a docker-compose.yml file.
First I took a look at using docker-compose secrets, but it came to my attention that docker-compose secrets are access at runtime, not build-time. https://github.com/docker/compose/issues/6358
So now I'm trying to create a volume containing my pat file but I get cat: /pat: No such file or directory when the command RUN --mount=type=secret... is running. This may not be secure but it will only be running locally.
My Dockerfile
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:5.0 AS base
WORKDIR /app
EXPOSE 80

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:5.0 AS build
RUN wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Microsoft/artifacts-credprovider/master/helpers/installcredprovider.sh | bash

WORKDIR /src
COPY ["User.API.csproj", "/Services/User.API"]

RUN --mount=type=secret,id=pat,dst=/pat export ENV VSS_NUGET_EXTERNAL_FEED_ENDPOINTS="{\"endpointCredentials\": [{\"endpoint\":\"<feed>\", \"username\":\"<user>\", \"password\":\"`cat /pat`\"}]}" \
&& dotnet restore "User.API.csproj" \
&& unset VSS_NUGET_EXTERNAL_FEED_ENDPOINTS

...

My docker-compose.yml
services:
  user.api:
    container_name: User.API
    image: ${DOCKER_REGISTRY-}userapi
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: Services/User.API/Dockerfile
    networks:
      - app_network
    volumes:
      - ./pat:/app/src/pat

Am I only able to access docker-compose volumes after the Dockerfile is built?

A: I solved this by attacking the problem in a different way. As the main goal was to get this working locally I created Dockerfile.Local and docker-compose.local.yml. Together with this I created an .env file containing the "pat".
The docker-compose.local.yml passes the "pat" as an argument to the Dockerfile.Local where it's used. I also discarded --mount=type=secret and set the value to VSS_NUGET_EXTERNAL_FEED_ENDPOINTS directly.
.env file:
PAT_TOKEN=<personal access token>

docker-compose.local.yml:
services:
  user.api:
    container_name: User.API
    image: ${DOCKER_REGISTRY-}userapi
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: Services/User.API/Dockerfile
    args:
      - PAT=${PAT_TOKEN}
    networks:
      - app_network
    volumes:
      - ./pat:/app/src/pat

Dockerfile.Local:
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:5.0 AS base
WORKDIR /app
EXPOSE 80

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:5.0 AS build
RUN wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Microsoft/artifacts-credprovider/master/helpers/installcredprovider.sh | bash

WORKDIR /src
COPY ["User.API.csproj", "/Services/User.API"]

ARG PAT
ENV VSS_NUGET_EXTERNAL_FEED_ENDPOINTS="{\"endpointCredentials\": [{\"endpoint\":\"<feed>\", \"username\":\"<user>\", \"password\":\"${PAT}\"}]}" \
&& dotnet restore "User.API.csproj" \
&& unset VSS_NUGET_EXTERNAL_FEED_ENDPOINTS

...

Note: The .env file was added to .gitignore because it is containing sensitive information. We don't want that in our repository.


The TRID rule itself is primarily concerned with the creation and delivery of two new documents: the Loan Estimate, which replaced the initial Truth in Lending and the Good Faith Estimate forms, and the Closing Disclosure, which replaced the closing Truth in Lending and HUD-1 forms.
Timing becomes a critical component and a challenge.
The Loan Estimate is required to be delivered to the customer within three business days of the application's completion.
The Closing Disclosure is required to be provided to the customer three business days prior to consummation of the loan.
How are your vendors handling these changes?
How will this affect the way you work with your settlement agents?
Do you have a way to receive and distribute documents to ensure the privacy of personal non-public information?
Do you have a way to confirm delivery of documents sent to the borrower to ensure good standing of the time requirements?

NBC Greenlights 'Taken' Prequel Series
Jasmine September 18, 2015
If you've seen any of the Taken movies, you know that Liam Neeson's character is infamous for having a "very particular set of skills." Now, in case you've ever wondered how he acquired those skills, you'll get the chance to see it in NBC's Taken prequel series.
Deadline first reported that Luc Besson's thriller Taken would be getting the small screen adaptation, which has landed a straight-to-series order from NBC.
We all know the often replicated speech Liam Neeson's character gives his daughter's kidnapper in the film, "What I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career; Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you." According to the site, Liam Neeson's character from the film, Bryan Mills, is a young man with no family, and the series will focus on how he acquired said skills. Interestingly enough, the series, although a prequel, will be set in present-day, and not in the time frame that Neeson's movie character would have been a young man.
The film to TV makeover that Taken will get falls in line with the remake/reboot trend that's running rampant through Hollywood right now. Other films getting the TV treatment include Rush Hour, Minority Report, Limitless, The Notebook, Scream and many others.

Musings & Rants by Tim Byrd
TIMFORMATION
On The Matter Of My Vote
Oct3 by Tim Byrd
I have, as a rule, avoided discussing how I'll vote because I generally see that as a distraction from much more important things. My vote isn't going to decide the election, and is itself a less than minuscule factor in the contest.
That said, as anyone who follows my blog already knows, I have a lot of issues with Hillary Clinton that will make casting a vote for her extremely difficult. The DNC collusion (particularly the unethical use of state parties to bypass campaign finance donation limits allegedly to support down-ballot candidates while actually funneling almost all the money to Clinton's campaign while the DNC was, according to its own bylaws, supposed to be neutral), the swiftboating of Sanders's civil rights activism, the bullying and rigging that went on right before the cameras in places like Las Vegas, the Clintons illegally (and arrogantly) campaigning in polling stations because they knew their local lackeys wouldn't prosecute them, ordering poll workers to give the wrong ballots to independent voters in California, the disenfranchisement of hundreds of thousands of voters in multiple states like New York, the utter disrespect shown to Sanders's duly elected delegates and volunteers at the convention…
Jesus, I could go on and on, and I haven't even started on her record or policies. The DNC money laundering/collusion, which is a matter of public record and not just conspiracy theory, is all by itself compelling enough reason not to support Clinton or the Democrats at all. A vote for Clinton sends the message that all of that bullshit was exactly the right thing to do because it gets them what they want. It rewards electoral villainy. And I have some strong issues with doing that.
Should Trump lose? Yes. But my hope remains that Clinton wins by a very tight margin so that she knows she's going into that office on probationary status, not with the mandate to continue doing as she and the DNC have been doing. I want her to know she cannot just take progressives for granted and treat them like shit and expect to win again. Odds are, she'll have a more formidable challenger next time and she's gonna need our votes. If a voter doesn't vote for her, she's likely still going to win, but that vote doesn't add to her mandate. If any voter opts to go that way, I completely grok that. Clinton already has the gift of Donald Trump (though even so, she's oddly weak against him), so perhaps she doesn't need that one vote, and perhaps the lack of support contributes to her doing more progressive things in office because it makes her afraid of losing next time.
And the risk that Trump wins? Well, as I've pointed out, that risk was just fine for Clinton supporters who were "with her" when they put aside the math which showed that maybe running the least popular Democratic nominee in history might be a bad idea. If she can't even beat Trump of all people because she was already unpopular and her actions in conspiring with the DNC lost her even more support, that's on her and the DNC and all her supporters, just as much, or more, than it'll be on folks who don't choose to vote for her in November.
The entire case for Hillary Clinton tends to boil down to a handful of words: Woman. Trump. Nader. History. Democrat.
The only one of those words that isn't entirely a plea to emotion or tribalism is "Trump." And most of the folks who are tearing their hair out and screaming apocalypse when other folks say they might have to risk Trump because of silly things like "ethics" were more than willing to take the risk of Trump when they determinedly followed the DNC into the electoral pit by choosing the candidate with the demonstrably far worse chance of beating Trump. It was fine for them to risk Trump to get their preferred nominee, but now it's just crazy to risk Trump for other reasons.
Me, I think it was crazier to bring a Clinton to a Sanders fight. And I'm tired of hearing simplistic hyper-emotional rhetoric and canned spin from the very people who put us in this situation.
My point boils down to: whether I vote for her or not, the election will turn out the way it's going to turn out. She will win, or she won't, and it will not be based on my vote. Another reason I won't say how I'm voting is because by doing so I'm implying at least a bit of endorsement I can't give, but however I vote, it ain't coming down to me. In fact, a logical case could be made that my individual vote is of such statistical unimportance that demanding I violate my personal integrity for the sake of what is, effectively, a non-effect is absurd. That aside, again, what's gonna happen is gonna happen, and if she loses, it will be because she was the worst choice for the fight and because she and hers screwed over a huge segment of leftward voters. If one individual chooses not to vote for her, for whatever reasons, their complicity in her loss will be infinitesimally smaller than her own, or than the DNC's.
I don't support Clinton, but I hope Trump loses. That's all the endorsement she's earned from me.

Home News June Monthly Service Joyfully Performed
The June Monthly Service of Tenrikyo Church Headquarters was performed in the Main Sanctuary on the 26th with the Shinbashira presiding.
At 9:00 in the morning, amid the elegant sounds of gagaku music, which resounded throughout the Sanctuary precincts, the Shinbashira and other Service performers began their procession toward the Main Sanctuary, stopping along the way at the Foundress' Sanctuary and the Memorial Hall to pay their respects. Arriving in the Main Sanctuary, the Shinbashira delivered the prayer, which he began by expressing gratitude for the constant blessings of God the Parent. Then he said, "All of us, including church head ministers and Yoboku, are resolved to make strenuous efforts during this timely season, while strengthening our faith and steadfastly devoting our sincerity." He went on to say: "People the world over have created suffering in their lives, simply because they remain unknowing of their true Parent. With Your help, we shall teach them the origin that gives them life, so that all people will be able to replace their minds and work together to build a world of everlasting joy."
The Kagura Service and the Dance with Hand Movements were then joyfully performed while the followers joined together in singing the Mikagura-uta, The Songs for the Service.
Following this, Honbu-in Yoshitaro Ueda took the podium to deliver the sermon. He first explained Tenrikyo's view of the family, basing himself on the Scriptures. Referring to the current state of affairs in the world, he said, "Whenever juveniles commit shocking crimes, it is always the 'absence of the father and excessive interference by the mother' that is pointed out as the cause underlying the juveniles' antisocial behavior." He then stressed the importance of harmonizing both motherhood and fatherhood by saying: "In contrast to the emotional relationship between mother and child, the relationship between father and child is rational. It is the father who must teach the child social rules."
He spoke also on the issue of divorce, which is becoming an increasingly serious social problem. He said: "We can probably say that more than half of all married couples are either presently experiencing marital problems or have experienced them in the past. Marital problems, besides affecting husband and wife, can leave deep scars on their children, thus casting a shadow over their future. Marital harmony is, therefore, one of the major topics we need to focus on in our efforts to sprinkle the fragrance of the teachings and help others be saved."
He went on to say that Tenrikyo's view of the family, which is based on the teaching of universal brotherhood, is what society needs most. He pointed out that the number of people who are suffering from non-health related problems is increasing–a situation that calls for the application of the teachings of Tenrikyo, in which husband and wife are taught to be the basis. Yet, what is even more important is to provide people with a standard for how to handle the mind each day before they develop a serious problem.
Referring to the activities for the "three years, one thousand days" season leading up to the 120th Anniversary of Oyasama, he said: "There are people who say that they do not feel that the anniversary-related activities have got into full swing yet. I, for one, do not agree. I feel that there is a tangible sense of growing momentum." He explained that there are increasing reports of people receiving miraculous blessings. He added: "Though it is said that now is a season for salvation, a season for being saved, this does not mean that we can receive miraculous blessings while sitting around doing nothing. We can receive blessings only when we seriously take the truth of the season to heart and make strenuous efforts."
He concluded his sermon by calling upon the listeners to join him in making a resolution–at the beginning of the second half of the "three years, one thousand days" season–to implement salvation work and make spiritual growth with greater enthusiasm so that we may bring joy to our Parent.

Challenge . Chanel . EOTD . Eyeshadow . FOTD . L'oréal . Look book . Makeup . MOTD . Palette . PanProject . Plum . Purple . shoppingmystash . Winter .
The last Friday of the year, and we can officially start counting the hours for 2018! We are in the middle of Winter here and I thought it wouldn't hurt to show you one more Winter makeup look!
I decided to start this new series of posts here on the blog that would allow me to commit to "Shopping my stash", which means going through products I own instead of buying new ones. I have decided that each month I would pick an eyeshadow quad or quint from my collection and use it during the whole month. The month of December I've been playing with Chanel Quadra Eyeshadow Signe Particulier and today I share with you one of the looks I came up with.
Chanel Quadra Eyeshadow Signe Particulier was launched in 2015 for Christmas and it was a Limited Edition (LE). I am not a fan of presenting you LE products when they are no longer available, but this post is a special case, as I'm trying to use my collection more! Especially the LE items.
This palette was featured in a blog post where I also show you my first look created with it here, when it was still available, but I didn't write a proper review. This quad was not highly rated in reviews, but I really like it and find it very wearable for me. I think the gold colour is gorgeous and the taupe is perfect to be worn alone. A very warm gold with very cool shades of pink and plum, I think is a perfect combo! I haven't used it for a year or so, what a pity! I thought this little quad would be perfect for December, and I used it quite a lot this month. There is one particular look that I loved so I recreated it to share it with you.
My Winter look with "Signe Particulier"
- Makeup Geek Highlighter in "Luster"
- L'oréal Color Rich by Balmain Lipstick in "Liberation"
I have done so many looks with this palette, of all the Shopping my stash challenges up to now it is the one I used the most! It doesn't seem like it, but it is a great everyday option, that can be easily upgraded to a night out. This is my favourite look, using a gradient of the taupe and plum on the crease, and the light shade in the centre of the lid. I have published another look with this palette recently, here.
What about you? Is there any piece of makeup in your beauty case that is not getting enough love? Let me know in the comments!

"U.S. Knew About 9/11 Warning, Staged Egypt Revolution": Ex Egypt Interior Minister
Ex Egypt Interior Minister Habib Al-Adly
By Brandon Turbeville, ActivistPost
Over the weekend, the former Egyptian Interior Minister under Hosni Mubarak, Habib El-Adly, gave a speech at his own retrial in Cairo, Egypt. Among a number of generic statements, El-Adly made at least two bombshell claims during his testimony that have received little to no coverage in the Western press.
One of these claims was that the United States was behind the 2011 Egyptian revolution which overthrew Hosni Mubarak. The other, however, was that the Egyptian intelligence agencies and Interior Ministry received information regarding a developing terrorist operation against the United States in September, 2001 and that the Egyptians warned the United States twice ahead of time. According to El-Adly, these warnings were completely ignored.
NOTE: The translation provided below is a rough translation of the statements, not a professional one.
In his televised testimony, El-Adly stated,
In May 2001, we received information that a very huge terrorist attack will happen in the USA. How? The source of the information was inside the lair of Al-Qaeda. And we verified it, that there were preparations for the attack.
I talked to the President (Mubarak) and I told him that I have information that a huge terrorist attack will happen in the USA, and I asked him if we should tell them [the Americans]. He said "OK."
We contacted the CIA and FBI and told them about the information, they said "Thanks."
On August of the same year we received the information that the (operation) entered its course of implementation (is entering its final steps).
An operation like this takes time, preparations and arrangements, etc.
This conversation was recorded between us and the source. I called the President and told him the information is confirmed, "Should we tell them?" He said "Tell them." We called the people in the USA and told them that the operation entered the course of implementation. They said "OK" and "Thanks."
Then the attack on the WTC happened. This was the operation. Do you see how cooperative we were?!?! This is why I am furious and enraged. I cooperated with them, and in return they hit my organization and destroyed (ruined) the country (Egypt)!!!
El-Adly then continued discussing how, according to him, in 2002, Mubarak questioned President Bush about the fact that the United States was warned about the impending attack but failed to act. El-Adly stated,
President Mubarak traveled to America in 2002. When there, he told President Bush, "We told you about this attack and you didn't pay attention." He [Bush]said "What attack?" And How?
Bush denied that they heard about that and Mubarak insisted that they did. Mubarak called me to confirm that we informed them about the information. He asked me who did I tell? I said "The CIA people." He said "Ok" and told Bush. It seems the CIA people told Bush that they didn't receive any news, and Mubarak told him "no, we informed you this and that." Then they said "Oh, yes it happened but it was only told verbally."
What Verbally?! It seems as if they wanted to receive some written memo "we received the news blah blah blah that blah blah blah would happen."

US government targeting Egypt for destabilization, eventual destruction?
Is the US government targeting Egypt for destabilization – and eventual destruction?
The recent appointment of death squad organizer Robert Ford as US Ambassador to Egypt suggests as much.
Ford's appointment sends a clear message: US policymakers want to destroy Egypt in the same way they have destroyed Iraq and Syria – by using death squads and false-flag terror to incite civil war.
According to Global Studies professor Michel Chossudovsky, Robert Ford teamed up with notorious war criminal John Negroponte to apply the "Salvador Option" in Iraq in 2004. Chossudovsky writes: "The 'Salvador Option' is a 'terrorist model' of mass killings by US sponsored death squads. It was first applied in El Salvador (by Negroponte) in the heyday of resistance against the military dictatorship, resulting in an estimated 75,000 deaths."
Today's Egypt, like 1980s El Salvador, is experiencing a heyday of resistance against military dictatorship. And Egypt's military dictatorship (like El Salvador's 1980s junta) has already resorted to the mass murder of anti-government activists. Will Robert Ford, an expert in organizing political mass murder, help the Egyptian regime slaughter tens of thousands of peaceful protesters?
No – it's even worse than that!

Mass resignations at Al Jazeera over "biased" Egypt coverage
Reports suggest that 22 member of staff have resigned from the Egyptian arm of Al Jazeera after complaining of pro-Muslim Brotherhood bias within the organisation
Al Jazeera Mubasher Misr, the Egyptian arm of the Qatari-funded broadcaster has suffered major embarrassment today after 22 staff members walked out over accusations of bias.
The 22 staff resigned on Monday over what they alleged was coverage that was out of sync with real events in Egypt, according to a report by the Gulf News website.
Anchor Karem Mahmoud announced that the staff resigned in protest against "biased coverage" of the recent events in Egypt. He explained that there was a lack of commitment and Al Jazeera professionalism in media coverage, stating, "the management in Doha provokes sedition among the Egyptian people and has an agenda against Egypt and other Arab countries."
Mahmoud added that the management used to instruct each staff member to favour the Muslim Brotherhood.
He said that "there are instructions to us to telecast certain news".
In February of this year, Ghaffar Hussain, contributing editor to The Commentator wrote, "Since the Muslim Brotherhood has come to power in Egypt, Al Jazeera has done all in its power to portray the group in a favourable light. Protests against the Brotherhood-dominated regime are presented as being led by violent thugs with no political grievances, while Morsi's poorly constructed and shallow speeches are given positive coverage."
Haggag Salama, a correspondent of the network in Luxor, had resigned on Sunday accusing it of "airing lies and misleading viewers". He announced his resignation in a phone-in interview with Dream 2 channel.
Meanwhile, four Egyptian members of editorial staff at Al Jazeera's headquarters in Doha resigned in protest against what they termed a "biased editorial policy" pertaining to the events in Egypt, Ala'a Al Aioti, a news producer, told Gulf News by phone.

Vessel carrying weapons to Aqaba to be transfered to terrorists in Syria: Analysis by Tore
Editor's note: We want to thank Tore (twitter account: @Potifar66 ) for this thorough analysis.
Written on Friday April the 5th. Sorry for the delay in posting.
I have found convincing proof that weapon ship was heading for Aqaba in Jordan from AIS database tracking ships. I noticed a lot of contradicting verdions in press, found this strange and did a check. http://vessels.vtexplorer.com/vessels/list?search_text=Com+r
Destination is Jordan, Aqaba no doubt, and cargo seems to fit in with whats going on in Syria and weapon transport over Jordan border.
Where ship came from could also be found out via AIS transponder. Ship COM R is a Togo flagged ship. It came from Rotterdam via Gibraltar as Small Agt 1 in january, entered Med and port Valetta Malta.
http://vessels.vtexplorer.com/vessel/COM-R-IMO-7735109
Then disappears, but appears again Suez end february, but has now changed name to COM R. Here a registry for ship a d photos etc.
http://myship.com/imo/7735109/COM-R
Both Reuters and AFP versions are strange and contradicting . First it was reported by Turkish newsagency AA, then Israeli Ynet came with this fantasy of Iranian ship coming from Eilat!
Then you had Reuters who reported the name of ship COM R
http://www.maritime-executive.com/article/Egypt-Seizes-Ship-Carrying-Arms-Questions-Crew–Navy-2013-04-04/
And provided version of some security firm , which naturally had to have a lot of weapons in cargo. Smells too, but more refined lying
Then you had Haretz who reported conflicting versions :
http://www.haaretz.com/news/middle-east/conflicting-reports-as-egypt-s-navy-seizes-arms-laden-ship-in-red-sea-1.513548
And then you had AFP who said ship came out of Israel on its way to Togo!
So why did they do everything to spread fog over the seizure of such a big cargo of weapons? Why did they avoid checking the AIS dbases that give GPS positions for all ships?
Thats was my question and found info on destination Aqaba in Jordan
http://vessels.vtexplorer.com/vessels/list?search_text=Com+r
This is a convincing proof , so beats the other versions, which now range from Iranian fishing boat loading weapons in Israel , to a version that weapons was meant to Syria governement ( destination Aqaba )!!! Think that one was Bloomberg.
Then today Israel FM denies any Connection to Israel:
http://zeenews.india.com/news/world/israel-denies-link-with-arms-ship-seized-by-egypt_839874.html
Ships timeline before it was seized I indicated in start of E-mail, suppose this could be elaborated better. Take for sure it came trough Suez.
Question remains : where were weapon cargo taken onboard?
I cannot find AIS readings for ship lately, so calls of ports etc I dont know. I guess they loaded In Some Saudi port after Suez .In this waters i fairly normal to switch of AIS transponders to not be spotted by pirats.
But what if this was not a Saudi Port? I am just speculating , but what if this was a British/French weapons cargo? That would explain the extreme confusion now spread by media? Sort of a real scandal it would be if Hollande and Cameron was involved in a breach of EU embargo?
Tweets from TORE
Thats more or less what i got on a haste. Looking forward to see developments here

Egyptian Media Mogul Goes on a Rant about Syria: All Free Syrians Should Back Assad
Egyptian media mogul, Tawfik Okasha, owner of the anti-Muslim Brotherhood Egyptian channel al-Fara'een, went on a loud rant about the Syrian crisis, blaming the Mainstream Media of being complicit with the Muslim Brotherhood in feeding the Egyptian people lies about the Syrian crisis. He calls for all free Syrians to back President Bashar al-Assad as the issue is not about him but goes beyond to include the destruction of Syria and its transformation into three weaker states incapable of confronting Israel.

Egyptian judges go on strike over Morsi decree
Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi
Egyptian judges have begun a nationwide strike to protest against President Mohamed Morsi's new decree, which gives him sweeping powers and places him beyond judicial oversight.
During an emergency meeting on Saturday night, the Judges' Club, a body representing judges across Egypt, denounced Morsi's presidential decree and announced the immediate "suspension of work in all courts and prosecution administrations," AFP reported.
Many judges chanted anti-Morsi slogans and called for the "downfall of the regime." They also demanded that the president rescind the decree.
On November 22, Morsi issued a decree declaring that no judicial body can dissolve Egypt's Constituent Assembly, which is currently writing a new constitution.
The decree allows the president to take "any decision or measure to protect the revolution." It also makes decisions and laws issued by the president "final and not subject to appeal."
Earlier in the day, Egypt's highest judicial authority, the Supreme Judicial Council, issued a statement saying that the new decree is "an unprecedented attack on the independence of the judiciary and its rulings." Continue reading →

Protesters set fire to Morsi party's headquarters in three cities
A young Egyptian protester throws a Molotov cocktail into a building during clashes in the capital, Cairo, on November 22, 2012.
Furious Egyptians have set ablaze the headquarters of President Mohamed Morsi's party in three cities in protest to a constitutional declaration that gives the president unlimited powers.
Offices of the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), Muslim Brotherhood's political arm, were torched on Friday in the canal cities of Suez, Ismailiya and Port Said, according to the Egyptian state television.
The FJP office in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria was also stormed, leading to the outbreak of clashes between protesters and Morsi's supporters.
Morsi issued a new declaration on Thursday, under which no judicial body can dissolve Egypt's Constituent Assembly that is currently writing a new constitution.
The declaration allows the president to take "any decision or measure to protect the revolution." It also considers decisions and laws issued by the president as "final and not subject to appeal."
The move drew calls for nationwide protests from opposition forces who branded the declaration as "a coup against legitimacy" and "a major blow on the revolution that could have dire consequences."
Mohamed ElBaradei, a Nobel Peace prize laureate and the former director general of International Atomic Energy Agency, said Morsi had "usurped all state powers and appointed himself Egypt's new pharaoh." Continue reading →

Talk about art and architecture being 'intertwined'. Metaform, a Luxembourg City-based studio has designed a 4,000 sq ft contemporary apartment building in Luxembourg, with a few remarkable details on display. The project's sculptural architecture, with the black, monolithic structure stands out and contrasts the surrounding neighborhood buildings. Its unique feature has been integrating art into the development process.
The concept created with the involvement of artist Sumo reflects the relation between art and architecture and is incorporated in the built space. Sumo voluntarily covered the space from the ground to the ceiling with his artwork in such a way that it can be considered as being "post-graffiti". The apartment has three floors in total. The first level hosts a two-bedroom 90 sq metre apartment, the second level accommodates two studios and the third level boasts a 115 square metre duplex apartment. Enjoy the mix of subtle art and dynamic graffiti together.

In Honor Of ZOOKEEPER, Here's Your Pitch For ZOO 2
As Kevin James prepares to screw audiences, read about a woman who was lethally screwed by a dog.
By Devin Faraci Jul. 08, 2011
Remember the documentary Zoo, about guys who get fucked by horses and specifically good old Mr. Hands, who got fucked to death by a horse? What a way to go! At least if you have to die by being perforated by a huge raging horse boner you should inspire a pretty good documentary, which he did. Godspeed, Mr. Hands, and may the fields of heaven be filled with randy stallions who have manageable members.
Anyway, with Kevin James Zookeeper opening this weekend (a movie where the beast known as Hollywood fucks YOU, the audience!), I wanted to share this story that I think might make a good follow up doc to Zoo. A Zoo 2, if you will:
A woman in Ireland died from an allergic reaction to a dog. Well, more specifically to dog semen. And even more specifically than that, dog semen that the dog had inserted deep inside her vagina using his red slimy dog dick. Yes, it's not as obviously cinematic as a horse getting up in your guts (literally) but this woman was killed by her bestiality.
The woman, a 43 year old mother of four (!!!), met the owner of the Alsatian in question via a bestiality chat room. She came over his house for some semi-consensual intercourse with the dog (the question of whether a dog can give consent in a case like this is one that will likely haunt ethicists for generations), and then she started feeling ill. She died a half hour later and the dog with the deadly spooge has been kept in quarantine since. I'm assuming you're okay around the dog as long as you maintain your self control and manage to keep yourself from presenting your private parts to it.
Anyway, the owner of the dog was charged with the best criminal charge of the week: buggery contrary to Section 61 of the Offences against the Person Act of 1861. He's the first person in Ireland ever charged with that, which is too bad because being charged with contrary buggery sounds AMAZING. Down side: if he's found guilty he will go to jail for life, which sounds pretty crazy. He didn't make the lady fuck the dog, he just facilitated it. He should be charged with pimping a pup, I think.
Anyway, here's your story for Zoo 2, director Robinson Devor. Failing that, maybe Kevin James can work this into Zookeeper 2.

Storm Alley's latest, greatest resident, the recent lightning-producing storm seen by the Cassini spacecraft and Earth-based observers churns away. Turbulent eddies to the west (left) of the storm indicate that it is moving eastward relative to the westward-flowing winds at this latitude on Saturn.
Scientists gave the nickname "Storm Alley" to the area around 35 degrees south latitude because of the large amount of activity seen there from the beginning of the Cassini spacecraft's approach to Saturn in early 2004. The region has spawned two large and powerful storms since the Cassini spacecraft began observations.
The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Feb. 16, 2006, using a filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared light centered at 750 nanometers, and at a distance of approximately 3.2 million kilometers (2 million miles) from Saturn. The image scale is 19 kilometers (12 miles) per pixel.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is based at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.

Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi Offers Scholarship In Honor of Uvalde Victim
Maite Yuleana Rodriguez was 10 years old when she was shot in her fourth-grade classroom at Robb Elementary in Uvalde. She dreamed of becoming a marine biologist at Texas A&M University.
Maite was one of the 19 kids who lost their lives in the Uvalde school shooting, leaving a whole community grieving and in shock. She was a very competitive girl, who loved learning and was passionate about animals. She was extremely loyal to her family and friends and leaves a hole in many people's hearts with her death.
"Maite was a sweet girl and those who knew and loved her were blessed with her kind, ambitious, friendly and sweet soul. She was an AB honor student who enjoyed learning about animals and the ocean; especially dolphins, whales, and dogs" are some of the words that can be read in her obituary.
Her mother, Ana Rodriguez, shared a Facebook post in memory of her daughter, sharing memories and facts about her personality, along with many pictures of them together. She also mentioned that Maite dreamed of attending Texas A&M in Corpus Christi to study marine biology.
She later shared another post where she shared that a university staff member had reached out to her to create a scholarship in memory of Maite. She was overjoyed at their thoughtfulness in creating something that will help keep her daughter's name and dreams alive.
The Maite Yuleana Rodriguez scholarship will be awarded to a student from Uvalde who is pursuing the study of marine biology at Texas A&M in Corpus Christi. "I am grateful that Maite's memory will live on through other students who are passionate about Marine biology, just like she was", she said in the Facebook post.
The university also emitted a statement regarding the scholarship:
"Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi wanted to honor the memory of Maite Rodriguez after learning of her desire to become an Islander. The university created a scholarship in her name to ensure she will forever be a part of the Islander family."
These have been very hard weeks, especially for the families of those who were victims of one of the most devastating shootings in Texas' recent history. Gestures like this one are a gentle way of unifying people and properly remembering the victims.

When you go browsing through homeware shops and online stores you come across a vast array of wallpaper designs to choose from. It can be a difficult decision to make as you find various so many that you like. It is actually interesting to look around as you find so much more diversity in the range of choices than you think is available. One thing that caught my eye was a collection of striped wallpaper I stumbled upon. I was drawn to the busy pattern that just looked really cool! When you analyse the design there are definitely some pros and cons to this bold choice.
The first one that came straight to my mind is that it just looks awesome! How many peoples homes do you enter and see stripy wallpaper? Not many is the answer for me as I have honestly never seen it before. It just screams out look and me and would create a fantastic statement feature wall within a modern looking living room.
The next is the number of colour combination that it comes in. Choosing wallpaper that blandly features one block or shades of that same colour is an obvious choice and doesn't help out as much when it comes to picking furnishings. I came across a teal, brown and beige combo that looks fantastic and you can use these three colours for everything else.
Any girl will know that horizontal stripes are not always the most flattering design when it comes to picking out a top or dress and it can make you look wider. What might be a negative in ladies fashion is a positive within interior design! The horizontal stripes will make the room appear wider than it actually is, great for expanding the room without hiring builders to knock down walls. Vertical will of course make the room feel as though you have higher ceilings, so plus points with both ways you choose!
The two different ways to hang striped wallpaper have a positive but this can also turn into a negative. If you are decorating within a small space, placing bold and overpowering horizontal stripes will not make the room look wider. It will make it appear cramped and even dark depending on the colours you use.
If you are fortunate enough to have a large house, choosing thin stripes that have a barcode like effect will be too busy across a large wall. You may regret it every time you walk into the room and your eyes feel dazzled!
After weighing up which room in your home you want them to go in and working out the design you want, it is safe to say that stripes look great and guests coming into your home will be impressed.


Listening to Deuter's Sea and Silence is like taking a walk along an empty shore. The timeless rhythm of gentle ocean waves meld with fluid, ethereal keyboards and soulful flutes to create a magical soundscape, ideal for massage and deep relaxation. Sail to distant shores and venture to the depths with the latest from a master composer with over three decades of healing music to his credit.
"I have always loved the musicality of the waves of our oceans. Unlike a musical composition, which has a beginning and an end, waves play their music in a timeless fashion, not going anywhere, not reaching toward some goal but singing about the eternity of the present moment. Waves reveal their music only to listeners who allow themselves to sink deeper into the sounds – sounds which seem to be just noise on the surface. But then, upon reflection, the waves play with a richness and fullness. So, allow a memory of the ocean to emerge… Envision the tide, feel the salt air, lean back and relax.
