Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), the bacteria responsible for antibiotic resistant infections, poses a serious problem in hospitals, where patients with open wounds, invasive devices and weakened immune systems are at greater risk of infection than the general public. In a move that could significantly reduce this risk, researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have created a nanoscale coating for surgical equipment, hospital walls, and other surfaces which safely eradicates MRSA.
This atypical bacterium commonly causes pharyngitis, bronchitis and atypical pneumonia mainly in elderly and debilitated patients but in healthy adults also. In addition to pneumonia, C. pneumoniae less commonly causes several other illnesses. Among these are meningoencephalitis (infection and inflammation of the brain and meninges), arthritis, sinusitis, myocarditis (inflammation of the heart), and Guillain-Barré syndrome (inflammation of the nerves). It has also been associated with dozens of other conditions, such as Alzheimer's disease, fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, prostatitis, and chronic Chlamydia pneumoniae infection is a risk factor for the development of COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease).
There are no ways to prevent infection other than good hygiene.

AGREED PROTECTIVE ORDER
WALTER H. RICE, JUDGE
Pursuant to Rule 26 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and for good cause shown, the Plaintiff, Robert A. Griffin ("Plaintiff), and Defendants, Darling Ingredients, Inc., f/k/a Darling International, Inc., Griffin Industries LLC and Federal Insurance Company, d/b/a Chubb ("Defendants") hereby stipulate to the entry of the following Agreed Protective Order. Plaintiff and Defendants may be hereinafter collectively referred to as "the Parties," or individually as a "Party."
This Agreed Protective Order is to preserve and maintain the confidentiality of certain personal and corporate proprietary and/or financial data ("Confidential Information") that may be disclosed or obtained by the Parties through testimony and/or the production of certain records by and between the Parties during the course of discovery. The Parties agree that good cause exists for this Agreed Protective Order to preserve the legitimate privacy interests of sources of Confidential Information that have not been released to the public and which the Parties may mutually seek production of through their respective discovery requests.

ODR has consistently been in the news since the early 90s. It has popped up again this week as the ICC reported that the videos of its significant ODR conference in 2017 are now available from its online library.
ODR has also been appearing consistently in undergraduate and postgraduate programs of Australian law schools.
At UNSW I have been able to take the opportunity to teach in an 'Active Learning Space' where students work in small groups at pods around the walls complete with individual large screens. Individual computers connect to each screen promoting group activity and enhancing my supervision opportunities. This is a great space in which to combine experiential learning with developing creative ways to teach and experiment with the new developments in the field.
As I have built my skills in using this space I have been congratulating myself on having found a way to keep students away from their mobile phones and other distracting devices and deeply engaged in transparent, collaborative, group learning.
For all my self-congratulations, in the end I have discovered it is the students who have given me the lesson. Let me explain.
For some years, part of the experiential program has included an introduction to ODR. Teaching ODR is not new and there are numerous online reports of how these curricula have developed. There are some great Australian examples to be proud of.
I embraced this field several years ago, with my undergraduate class, with a simple conflict resolution exercise. It primarily depended on email with students working from different locations. It was challenging and hard to manage.
I explored an international exercise with a former student now running a dispute resolution program in an American university. This was a disaster – whilst my students obtained marks as part of their class assessment, his students took the class as an 'extracurricular' exercise and, understandably, lacked commitment and persistence when international communications became challenging. I have abandoned this for the present but I know it is in the future to be revisited.
Over time, the exercise has gradually added more platforms and devices where we explored synchronous experiences such as Skype and asynchronous experiences such as email combined with Skype, private channel YouTube recordings and email. It was challenging and still required intervention offline when things went off-track.
Recently, through the generosity of Modron, I was given the opportunity to use my classroom as a Beta site for exploring Modron's close to seamless online program for dispute resolution. Students were able to appoint a mediator, negotiate fees, execute a mediation agreement, conduct a full mediation session complete with confidential caucuses, execute a settlement agreement and pay the mediator using a single piece of software.
It wasn't perfect but it was a considerable enhancement from what had been serving as an ODR experience previously. Students did get bumped off the system from time to time through technical teething difficulties but we were well aware we were engaged in a beta test and recognised that what we were doing was helping to iron out some of the software issues.
The exercise took several hours over the elapsed time of a day and I saw it as a useful experience which gave students a glimpse into the future world which would be of their making. I thought the students would have endorsed it wholeheartedly.
But there was a significant lesson waiting for me as I debriefed the exercise.
This photo shows the early comments from the 6 mediation groups as they began to record their comments for our debrief session. By the time the debrief was completed we had filled 3 whiteboards!
Students characterised ODR as something that had a value in particular circumstances.
ADR offers an important opportunity for meaningful in-person encounters that facilitate exploring and rebuilding a shared narrative. Some things can't be achieved effectively online and it would 'destroy the innate value of mediation if important in-person experiences were replaced by the drive for increased efficiency.' Sometimes it is more important to be effective rather than efficient.
Except for unusual circumstances where parties require to be separated, in-person processes, with clients present, are ALWAYS preferable.
I owe the millennials an apology for my assumption they prefer life on devices, disconnected from human exchanges.
What a great lesson. The future is in good hands!
Your conclusion that sometimes it is more important to be effective rather than efficient resonated with me. I will be quoting you!

Australia reinforces its might in India with a vintage wine tasting!
Wine Australia, in partnership with Austrade, the Australian High Commission and FINE Wine & Champagne hosted 'A Century of Australian Wine Heritage' on Friday, 22 January. Held at High Commissioner Patrick Suckling's residence, the intimate tasting was presented by Wine Australia Chair Brian Walsh, who introduced guests to Australia's fine wine heritage through a tasting line up of wines spanning vintages from the last hundred years.
Mr Walsh said that while the Indian export market was currently small, it demonstrates potential for strong growth in the future. 'We need to keep engaging with markets like India where the potential for increased wine demand is strong. Now is the time to cement Australia's reputation as a producer of fine wine and tastings like this one, along with the work we do with in-market Australian wine educators in both Mumbai and New Delhi, will help us grow demand among discerning Indian wine consumers. It's been wonderful to travel to India and share some of our finest examples of Australian wine from the last century. This event has been two years in the making because these wines haven't been easy to find. They've come from personal cellars, wineries and auction houses and many have been carried in hand luggage, bottle by bottle, just to get them to India intact.
'This tasting is a culmination of an enriching first visit to Australia in 2013 where I was introduced to old vintages dating back to the early 20th century. I am delighted that we have been able to host this exclusive and unique tasting in New Delhi.' said Rajiv Singhal, Editor, Fine Wine and Champagne.
The event follows the recent release of export figures that show an increase in the value of Australian wine exports to India of 10 per cent to A$4 million in 2015. Australia is the number one importer of wine to India followed by France and Italy.

I am a survivor
Eliza Walker 22 Jun, 2017 Politics & Society
FeatureimmigrationNimmitabelrefugeewar survivor
Maryanne (Marijanna) Garad
"I was not lucky. Luck implies you didn't fight. I am a survivor."
At a time of ongoing hostility towards refugees' arrival in Australia, it is more important than ever to see the issue through the eyes of those deepest affected.
Eliza Walker tells the story of a woman who emigrated from war-torn Slovenia to Australia by boat in the 1950s, recounting her experiences of survival and extensive racial prejudice.
It is late morning in a small village in regional NSW. Nimmitabel's "Welcome" sign as you drive-in states it has a population of 200, but only the half-dozen businesses lining the main street make it seem alive.
Isolated from most aspects of modern civilization, with a 30-minute drive to the nearest Woolworths or cinema, it relies heavily on tourists going to either the south-east beaches, or mountain ski slopes. But for now, it's content with sun-lit porches and gardening, a gentle trickle of coast-going tourists stopping off for a meat pie and to stretch their legs.
Seated in the tea room of the Royal Arms B&B with a view onto the main street through lace curtains, an older woman sits, a serious, sad expression on her face. Her clothing, layers of wool and flannelette, are an attempt to keep out the chills of age and suppressed memories.
"People don't believe what I have seen" she says.
Her face darkens and she pulls her cardigan around her tighter, leaning back into the armchair.
"I don't really like to talk about it," she says. "When you're as old as me you just look forward to heaven and try to avoid encouraging memories of the past."
She frowns, hiding from whatever she's about to share. I don't know what will happen when you re-open a wound as old and deep as this one. I hold my breath. With her words, we are both swept away from the little country town and into northern Slovenia in 1931.
Marijanna Jurović was born to an 18-year-old mother and grew up believing she had no father. Or, at least, not in any sense other than biological. He was an Italian police official and, upon her birth, disowned her and left her mother because she was not the son he wanted.
As it turned out, the poor Slovenian girl he had taken advantage of died two years later, leaving Marijanna to be raised by her grandmother.
World War II broke out when Marijanna was eight. During the war, her small world was blown apart and her childhood snatched from her.
"He came back for me, you know".
Marijanna exhales heavily, referring to her father. Her eyes wander off to gaze out the window, lost in some long-suppressed memory. Her head of tightly-curled grey nods in my direction.
"He took me away and tried to make me be his child. He cut my hair, my beautiful long braids. He made me perm it."
One day Marijanna's father allowed her to visit her grandmother, but after seeing her so changed and so frightened, her grandmother shook:
"He didn't touch you, did he?"
Scared and too young to truly understand the weight of this question, Marijanna simply shook her head.
"My father did not know how to be a father," she continues. "So, on Friday nights when he finished work he would leave me in a room with a bit of food, then go to the pub. There he would drink and spend his money and make a mess of himself."
Marijanna falters, considering her next memory.
"One day the Nazis came looking for him, so I took them to where he was. When we arrived at the pub, there he sat, all alone, surrounded by empty bottles and sitting in his own piss."
When the Nazis saw how he had neglected his daughter and spent his time and money on alcohol, they were disgusted and returned the girl to her grandmother. Marijanna never saw or heard from her father again.
She recalls the brutality and bloodshed that followed. Recounting the atrocities she witnessed, her eyes glazed over in a traumatized daze.
Her uncle, a young man himself, was "given" to Adolf Hitler as a "gift", although it is also likely that he was kidnapped. Marijanna says she never laid eyes on him again.
"Nobody knows what happened to him. He was just gifted to Hitler to do whatever Hitler wanted".
Marijanna's school became a barracks, the local churches became warzones. People would randomly disappear. It became common to see corpses lying in the streets. By the time Marijanna was 10, she had suffered from seven separate nervous break-downs. But that couldn't be helped, everyone was suffering.
"People don't like to believe me, people think I'm making it up, but I'm not," Marijanna vents, her fists closing tight and her lips pursed.
"I have seen men rip babies from a mother's arms because they are trying to get to her, and because the baby is screaming they physically rip it apart by its legs, or bash its head against a wall."
This 85-year-old woman before me, waving her arms in a re-enactment of these murders, carries a weight no woman of 21st century Australia can imagine.
In today's world, young women often joke of their "first world problems", lamenting their poor wi-fi connection, a mistaken coffee order, or how they cannot afford both a new bag and shoes.
But to a survivor of war-torn Slovenia during the 1930s, such comments seem exceedingly ignorant.
"Kids of today talk about 'living on the streets' and being 'gangster', but they have no idea what they're talking about," Marijanna comments bitterly.
"I lived on the streets," she says with emphasis. "I know what it was like to have to find a safe corner to hide in from rapists; to find frozen, rotting apples underneath snow and rejoice because it meant you had dinner that day; to beg God for your family to return."
Her body quietly quivering as her head shakes in frustration and pain, Marijanna looks up, our eyes meeting. "All survivors relive it when they tell it, don't mind me".
In the little house where she and her grandmother lived, before her grandmother was taken away to a concentration camp, there was a small central room, a so-called 'chimney room'.
From Marijanna's description, I can only figure that today we might call it a smoke house. It was a room central to the house that you built fires in, and it warmed up the rest of the house through the walls. For the wealthy, who had proper fireplaces, this was not a common design feature.
So, when the Nazis or Ustaše came on a rampage through the house, looking for women to molest, her grandmother hid her in the smoke room. Dark, sooty and hot, Marijanna would peek through the cracks in the walls, spying on the intruders.
It was through this method that as just a child Marijanna was exposed to some of the grossest atrocities, including those committed against her grandmother. Marijanna slips a smile.
"How she scolded me when she found out I had seen what they did to her."
In the minutes of silence that follow, the sadness restores to her expression. Through her eyes, almost like windows, I can see her watching it all again.
In late 1944, aged 13, after her grandmother was released from the concentration camp where she had been held for the years Marijanna lived on the streets, the two of them escaped over the border to Austria. There, in a so-called 'outlanders camp', called Wagna, they lived with other displaced persons for the next seven years.
Although I long to see photos of Marijanna from her youth, even of her wedding day or her children, she shakes her head. Because of the brutality and poverty of the war and immigration, and the disapproval of her two husbands of technology such as cameras, no images of a young Marijanna exist.
At 19 she met and married her first husband, Srećko (later known as Philip) Svikar. This marriage, however, was not for love, or even money. Rather, for the purposes of immigration to Australia, as married couples were given priority immigration over single or widowed persons.
"I never married for love" Marijanna says. "I married twice, but never for anything more than convenience or necessity."
Before arriving in Australia by boat in 1951 (where her name was changed to Maryanne, as her original name was deemed too much like 'marijuana'), they had a son, Tom. During the years that followed, where they lived in Seymour, Victoria.
The couple went on to have three more children in quick succession: Lydia, Maryanne, and Peter. What might have been a relatively simple life from there was in fact the beginning of a new kind of survival.
As foreigners, the Svikar family suffered extensive racism and prejudice. Unable to find a place to rent, all six of them were forced to live in a caravan.
Such feelings towards refugees remain an issue today, with xenophobic reactions now being directed towards those from the Middle East. And, with the current debate surrounding mass immigration of Syrian and Iraqi persons to Australia, Maryanne's story cuts to the core.
After Philip committed suicide in 1967, widowed Maryanne was forced to take any work she could get.
"I was hospitalised for exhaustion and stress," Maryanne says matter-of-factly. "My doctor says to me 'stop working or you'll be buried', but I could not stop working, I had four children to raise."
The memory of her ordeal is enough to drain Maryanne. Her chest heaves and an invisible cloud settles on the room. Traffic on the highway outside has all but ceased, and the orange of the late afternoon sun streams through the patterned lace curtains, dancing on the walls and across our knees.
Despite the difficulties, Maryanne managed to acquire work on a farm. However, being a foreigner and a woman meant that the farmers felt they could cheat her.
"They would say to me 'you work for a day, get 20 shillings', but when I finish work they go 'oh, here, take five shillings and some bread and meat'."
Maryanne's lips pull back in a snarl. "They believed I was worth less because I was a woman. They believed no one would fight for me because I was widowed. They believed I did not understand because I was a foreigner."
As well as suffering in her work, Maryanne was assumed by many Australian men to be 'fair game'. Because she was foreign, she appeared to them as something exotic, and as she was widowed, no-one had a claim to her. Men wanted to be with her, and their wives hated her because they thought she was seducing their husbands.
Without a friend, Maryanne was once again forced to turn to a marriage of convenience. This marriage to Australian, Trevor Garad, was also beset with problems.
After an accident left Trevor with severe head injuries, Maryanne says he lost much of his sanity. And after only a year or so together, he left to explore the desert, telling Maryanne that he did not wish to put her or her children at harm, or let them see him deteriorate.
She never saw him again and five years later, at the age of 44, Maryanne was widowed for the second time, this time losing her husband to dehydration after he became lost in the Northern Territory.
Maryanne wears a tired, drained look.
"I have left that life behind," she says. "I am finding ways to forget. I am free now of marriage, of motherhood and of labour."
Exhaustion and repressed grief leak out in tear-form.
"I'm finished now," she says. "I'd rather we just left it alone for good."
Uncertain of her emotional and psychological state after hours of wound-picking, I nod. Maryanne collects herself, her shaking body and weary expression are underpinned by what almost looks like relief.
As I offer my hand to pull her up from the armchair and pull her walker closer to help her mobility, I look in admiration at the heavy-set lines on her face and her hunched back and shoulders. So much strength, so much perseverance.
"Have you ever considered going back?" I ask.
"Back where?"
"Back to Yugoslavia, to Slovenia, to see what has become of your home and life from there?"
"No. I will never go back," she says. "I don't have much time left, and I want to spend what I do have doing all I can to forget".
She turns her back on me and moves away, pushing her walker ahead of her with the same firm, constant power that pushed her on throughout her earlier years.
"I have found peace now," she assures me. "I have a church, a faith".
After 85 years of battling against racial prejudice, poverty and loneliness, Maryanne is finally thriving. Meeting with a women's Bible study every week, an active member of the Country Women's Association, and now a passionate gardener, she is genuinely happy.
Everything about her is wrought with contradictions. From the wrinkles of grief and pain that line her face, to the small, contented smile on her lips. The fragile, weary bend of her back and yet the immense strength in her determined stance.
She has overcome poverty and racial prejudice, and stands here, smiling. As I watch her disappear through the doorway, golden sunset streams into the dark hall, casting a strangely symbolic mood.
I can't help but think of Rose from the film, Titanic: "It's been 87 years… and I can still remember everything."
A final glance over her shoulder at me standing in the half-darkness, and she murmurs: "I think I can let go now".

Continuing in a tradition I started early this year where I take a look back at the year that just passed, I've again been very fortunate to have had an amazing year, both in my professional and personal lives. Writing this post is my way of forcing myself to stop and take notice of what I was involved in (something I'm not very good at letting myself do in the moment) and also give readers a chance to see the "me" behind the scenes.
Let's go through the list!
In January, I joined the CPOC team at Cisco based in Raleigh, North Carolina. This was something I worked towards over the course of many months in 2016 and was offered the position in late 2016. Come January of 2017, I had fully transitioned from my prior role and was working full time for CPOC. This change set the stage for everything that happened in my professional life during 2017 and if my gut can be trusted, will end up being a major turning point in my career.
…we had to put the brakes on. Due to a little-known rule in the Canadian Tax Code known as the "departure tax", we faced a significant tax bill upon cutting ties with Canada and moving south. This was something that neither myself nor the CPOC management had heard of or anticipated. Mercifully, since the particular job I was doing for CPOC was mostly either remote work or traveling to customer sites, CPOC management relaxed the requirement that the role be done from Raleigh and I was able to continue to be part of the team while working from Calgary.
…I'm now a parent. 😱 Right around the time we found out about the departure tax, we confirmed that my wife was pregnant and that we would become parents in October. Once we knew the move was off, we started making plans for staying in Calgary and adding a new resident to our home. 😁 Staying in Calgary also meant that we had all the support of our family and friends before, during, and after the birth. Thank you so, so much to everyone who helped us welcome our little guy and who offered support, gifts, and encouragement.
Back to work stuff for a second… as I said above, my role with CPOC had me traveling to customer sites, typically for a full week, where I would take the customer through setup, operation, and assurance of a Cisco solution. I love being close to customers, to see what they're doing, the challenges they're trying to work through, and how they're using technology. Getting to spend 5 days with customers in different verticals and of different sizes was actually more fulfilling than I even expected.
In addition to the work travel, my wife and I did an awesome road trip with two good friends. We started in New Orleans, drove along the Gulf coast, skirted briefly into Florida, through Georgia to Jekyll Island, then north to Savanna and finally to Charleston, South Carolina. This was one of the best trips I've ever been on thanks to the awesome food, great weather, and all the awesome stuff we got to see (everything from centuries-old cemeteries to a B-52 bomber!).
Presenting at Cisco Live has been something I've been thinking about and attempting to do for a couple years now. It all came together this year thanks to the people I now worked with on the CPOC team. At Cisco Live US, I presented for the first time in front of an audience of 125 people. It was really amazing to be entrusted with that kind of responsibility, especially for a session that has run at prior conferences and was usually well attended.
I'll say it again: I feel really fortunate to have had another great year that was filled with personal and professional growth. I'm thankful for all the awesome people I got to interact with, learn with and laugh with.
Congratulations on an excellent year of growth. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
Well done. Congrats on becoming a Dad! – new experiences ahead.

George Michael's London home:the Highgate house sold for £19 million in hotly contested private sale
Antony Antoniou
George Michael's former north London home has sold for £19 million in a hotly contested private sale on the "grey market".
Sources say there was a lot of interest in the Highgate village house, which sold for "significantly more" than the asking price to a "very local couple".
The couple are understood to have "swooped in" and gazumped a keen buyer after hearing via a local network that the house was being sold off-market via an agent who was approaching a handpicked pool of wealthy potential buyers and had received a number of offers. The Highgate Literary and Scientific Institute and the Highgate Society are among community organisations where the great and the good of Highgate mingle.
One local agent was astonished at the sale price, revealed in Land Registry documents this week, estimating the house's value at closer to £12 million.
Another agent said the property was unusually up to date for the street it is on – where many homes have been in the same ownership for decades – with modern bathrooms, kitchen and a particularly good garden with views of nearby Hampstead Heath making it ready to move in to.
By comparison, when Jamie Oliver bought a £9 million house on the same street in 2015 he "had to rip everything out and start again".
The Wham! singer bought the Grade II-listed property for £7.65 million in 2002, joining a roster of celebrity residents past and present including Sting, Annie Lennox, Jude Law and Victoria Wood. Kate Moss has said that Michael would let her and her daughter climb over the wall between their gardens to swim in the swimming pool.
The semi-detached red-brick house was originally built in about 1688 with three storeys and a basement and was subsequently rebuilt in the Thirties.

One of the best-selling musicians of all time, after he died on Christmas Day 2016 a patch of grass opposite his Highgate house became a shrine to the singer and there was a campaign to erect a commemorative statue there too.
The star is believed to have left an estate worth £98 million, with his major assets shared between his two older sisters.
His sister, Melanie Panayiotou, is believed to have moved into the property after his death. In a sad coincidence she died there on Christmas Day 2019, exactly three years after her brother.
Michael's widespread philanthropy was revealed only after his death and extended to his local community. Born in East Finchley, not far from Highgate, he anonymously paid for the Highgate Christmas tree each year and was the largest private sponsor of the local fair. He is buried in Highgate Cemetery next to his mother.

Shraddha Kapoor, who starred opposite Tiger Shroff in 'Baaghi', has returned to the franchise and will be starring in the upcoming film 'Baaghi 3'. "The entire team of 'Baaghi' is very happy to have Shraddha back," affirmed the film's producers, Nadiadwala Grandson, in a statement. Tiger's rumored girlfriend Disha Patani had starred opposite him in 'Baaghi 2'.


For starters, Half-Broke Horses by Jeannette Walls is quite different from her first book, The Glass Castle. The latter is her memoir of her childhood and the former is the story of her grandmother's life. So you do, especially towards the last third of the book, get some hints of things to come (both events and themes)--but overall it's a separate story.
The tone is different and the beats of the story are all different, as well. Part of this is the fact that Lily's childhood goes by fairly quickly, so we're not seeing the story of children struggling to get by with their parents--we're seeing the story of a woman taking charge of her life, again and again. She's quite the inspiration.
Stepping away from her family's home to be out on her own, getting herself ready and able to teach, moving here and there, riding her horse alone for a month through the Southwest to get to a teaching post, cleanly putting an end to a bad situation, learning to fly a plane, and working harder than hard every single day because that was what she asked of herself. She worked hard because she knew she could do it and she knew that the results she would get from working hard would be so much better than the results from just going with the flow. She saw how things could be depending on if she acted one way or another, did one thing or another--and she decided what to do based on what she wanted to happen.
Texas, New Mexico, and mainly Arizona make up these pages. And that makes me wonder why it took me so long to read this book, given that stories like this of people who lived in the Southwest are exactly what I love. Given that Jeannette Walls was writing her grandmother's story, she had to call this book a real-life novel. It's technically fiction--but it's based on truth. The ranch, the teaching--the person; that's all true. So in a way, this book is like an oral history. It's this family's story, the story of a woman who lived and prospered in the last days of the West.
It's strange. She (Lily) talks about the new people that were able to come in to the Phoenix area once air conditioning made the real temperatures tolerable to them. She says it, you know, a little disdainfully--but rightly enough so because she lived and worked outdoors for enough years that she proved she could easily tough out something so small as the weather. So you want to take her side when she says things like this--but I'm probably one of those people. I'm part of that wave of people who moved to Arizona out of California (not to Phoenix, but still to Arizona) in this modern age of air conditioned houses and cars, grocery stores with fresh supplies, and paved roads. I don't have to live like Lily did, and I know that there are so many things that the modern age has lost, so many connections with this land that we no longer have. But I am grateful to people like her who were here before--and to those who were before her.
The more I think about it, the more I realize another strange thing. Lily loved respecting the land (taking care, for instance, not to let the cattle overgraze and things like that), but she also loved new things. She loved airplanes--and then lamented when the air become so controlled with the same flight paths and such that cars needed to follow. But she wasn't the only one who loved planes, and when you have so many people using something, well, you have to put down some rules and organization just to keep everyone safe. There are losses as time moves forward--but that's just the way it is.
I'm almost ending on a somber note there. So I'll finish by saying that I enjoyed this book as a source of people's stories, a source filled with what it was that made their lives theirs.

Der Kyffhäuserbund e. V. ist ein deutscher Soldatenbund. Er ging im Jahr 1900 aus dem Ständigen Ausschuss der vereinten deutschen Kriegerverbände für die Verwaltung des Kaiser-Wilhelm-Denkmals auf dem Kyffhäuser hervor und wurde als Dachverband deutscher Kriegervereine gegründet.

Geschichte
1786 gründeten in Wangerin/Pommern Füsiliere Friedrichs des Großen die "Militärische Schützenbruderschaft", um dem eben verstorbenen preußischen König ein ehrenvolles Grabgeleit zu geben. Den eigentlichen Auftrieb erhielten die Kriegervereine nach den Siegen in den drei Deutschen Einigungskriegen.

1888 – Der Bau-Ausschuss des Kaiser-Wilhelm-Denkmals
Nach dem Tod Wilhelms I. wurde in den Reihen der ehemaligen deutschen Soldaten der Wunsch laut, ihrem verstorbenen Kaiser durch gemeinsame Zusammenarbeit der Landeskriegerverbände ein Denkmal zu errichten. Als Ort des Denkmals wurde der Kyffhäuser im Fürstentum Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt gewählt. Unter dem Protektorat des Fürsten Georg von Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt bemühte sich ein geschäftsführender Ausschuss, die zur Errichtung des Denkmals notwendigen finanziellen Mittel zu sammeln und zu verwalten.

Das nach den Plänen des Architekten Professor Bruno Schmitz in Berlin ausgeführte Denkmal wurde am 18. Juni 1896 feierlich eingeweiht. Die ursprüngliche Absicht, das Kyffhäuserdenkmal nach seiner Vollendung in den Schutz und die Verwaltung des Fürstentums Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt zu übergeben, ließ sich nicht verwirklichen, und so blieb das Denkmal den deutschen Kriegerverbänden unterstellt. Zunächst musste zur Sicherstellung einer geregelten Verpflegung der Bauarbeiter in der Nähe des Bauplatzes ein Wirtschaftsbetrieb errichtet werden. Für eine vertraglich festzulegende Genehmigung für die Wirtschaftskonzession musste sich der Bauausschuss eine rechtlich angemessene Form geben.

Im Bauausschuss, der ja ursprünglich als reine Verwaltungsinstanz für den Denkmalbau gegründet war, wurden neben den rein baufachlichen Fragen auch zunehmend solche des Kriegervereinswesens behandelt. Die Landesverbände prüften die Zweckmäßigkeit, den zunächst temporär vorgesehenen Bauausschuss zu einem ständigen Ausschuss umzuwandeln. Diese Umwandlung wurde in der Maisitzung des Jahres 1892 beschlossen. Der Ausschuss erhielt den Namen "Ständiger Ausschuß der vereinten deutschen Kriegerverbände für die Verwaltung des Kaiser-Wilhelm-Denkmals auf dem Kyffhäuser".

1896 – Der Ständige Ausschuss für die Verwaltung des Kaiser-Wilhelm-Denkmals
Rechtsfähige Glieder dieses Ausschusses wurden die großen bundesstaatlichen Landesverbände und die Korporation "Deutscher Kriegerbund". Jedoch erhielten auch die einzelnen Landesverbände des Deutschen Kriegerbundes das Recht, sich selbst im Ausschuss zu vertreten. Gebrauch hiervon machten zunächst nur die Landesverbände Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Gotha, Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt und Elsaß-Lothringen. Parallel dazu tauchte nunmehr auch bei den dem Bund angehörenden preußischen Vereinen und Verbänden der Wunsch auf, sich gleichfalls selbständig zu vertreten. Nach vielem Für und Wider wurde dann 1897 am Abgeordnetentag des Deutschen Kriegerbundes in Cottbus ein Preußischer Landes-Kriegerverbandes innerhalb des Deutschen Kriegerbundes gebildet.

Mit dem am 1. Januar 1900 in Kraft getretenen Bürgerlichen Gesetzbuch BGB wurde die Entwicklung hin zu einer gemeinsamen Reichsorganisation begünstigt. Denn auf Grund seiner Bestimmungen über die eingetragenen Vereine musste sich der Ausschuss die Rechte einer rechtsfähigen Person sichern. Zu diesem Zweck war die Satzung entsprechend BGB umzubilden und dem Ausschuss mussten Zweck und Name eines festen Vereins gegeben werden. Bei dieser Gelegenheit wurde die Satzung dahingehend erweitert, dass die Beratungen des Ausschusses sich auf alle Fragen des Kriegervereinswesens erstrecken sollten. Das bedeutete die Verwandlung des ursprünglichen Kyffhäuser-Bauausschusses in eine allgemeine Vereinigung der deutschen Kriegervereine. Aber erst nachdem ausdrücklich festgelegt worden war, dass der neue Bund zwar allgemeine Kriegervereinsfragen behandeln solle, dass aber keiner der vom Bund gefassten Beschlüsse von vornherein für die einzelnen Landesverbände bindend sei, stimmten die Ausschussmitglieder einstimmig zu.

Auf dieser Grundlage erfolgte im August 1900 die Eintragung des neuen Bundes, mit der der "Ständige Ausschuß" zum "Kyffhäuserbund der Deutschen Landeskriegerverbände" umgewandelt wurde. Dies ist auch die Geburtsstunde des heute noch existierenden Kyffhäuserbundes e. V.

1900 – Kyffhäuser-Bund der deutschen Landes-Kriegerverbände.

Der "Kyffhäuser-Bund der Deutschen Landes-Krieger-Verbände" führte diesen Namen seit dem 2. Mai 1900. Er hatte als eingetragener Verein im Sinne des Par. 21 des Bürgerlichen Gesetzbuches seinen Sitz in Berlin und bestand aus denjenigen deutschen Landes-Krieger-Verbänden, die durch das Protektorat ihrer Landesherren oder durch ausdrückliche Anerkenntnis ihrer Landesregierung als einziger offizieller Verband der Kriegervereine des jeweiligen Bundesstaates bestätigt wurden. Jeder dieser Landes-Verbände hatte das Recht, diejenige Anzahl von stimmberechtigten Vertretern aufzustellen bzw. von Stimmen zu führen, die gemäß Artikel 6 der Verfassung des Deutschen Reiches seiner Regierung im Bundesrat zustand. Die insgesamt 61 Stimmen im "Kyffhäuser-Bund" verteilten sich auf 27 deutsche Landesverbände mit 30.651 Vereinen und 2.703.772 Mitgliedern verteilten (1913). Der Präsident des Kyffhäuserbundes war nach der Satzung der jeweilige Präsident des Preußischen Landes-Krieger-Verbandes.

Die Zeit des neuen Kyffhäuserbundes bis zum Ersten Weltkrieg war, neben der Pflege der Kameradschaft und Wahrung alter Traditionen, geprägt von ideologischen Auseinandersetzungen mit der erstarkenden Sozialdemokratie. "Für Gott, König und Vaterland – Gegen die Sozialisten". Nach dieser Devise handelten die deutschen Kriegervereine, der Sozialismus wurde als innerer nationaler Feind angesehen. Eine vom Vorstand des Deutschen Kriegerbundes bereits im Jahre 1888 herausgegebene Schrift "Das Deutsche Kriegervereinswesen" bezeichnete ehemalige Soldaten, die sich zur Sozialdemokratie bekannten, als ihrem Fahneneid untreu und daher als unwürdig, den Kriegervereinen anzugehören. Nach der reichsweiten Gründung des Kyffhäuserbundes konnte 1901 diese grundsätzliche Einstellung auch satzungsmäßig verankert werden. Dieser Kampf, besonders nach dem Stimmengewinn der Sozialdemokraten in der Reichstagswahl 1903, rückte immer mehr in den Vordergrund und wurde schließlich von den Kriegervereinen selber als ihre wichtigste Pflicht betrachtet. Erst mit Beginn des Ersten Weltkrieges hob der Kyffhäuserbund unter Zustimmung aller Landesverbände im Mai 1915 diese Satzungsbestimmung auf. Ein Zugeständnis auf die parteilose Kameradschaft auf den Schlachtfeldern.

Mit Ende des Krieges, der gleichzeitigen Auflösung der Monarchie und dem Chaos der Nachkriegszeit lebten die ideologischen Differenzen verstärkt wieder auf. Wenn auch viele ehemaligen Soldaten das Ende der Monarchie als Verrat ansahen und darüber enttäuscht und wütend waren, als viel größere Schande wurde der Vertrag von Versailles angesehen. Hier sollten ihnen auch noch die letzten Ideale genommen werden, innenpolitisch das Soldatentum von "Ungedienten" und außenpolitisch ihre Heimat von den ehemaligen Feinden.

Der Kyffhäuserbund mit seinen Mitgliedern stellte sich mit aller Kraft dieser Entwicklung entgegen, er stand zu seiner soldatischen und nationalen Tradition. Am 13./14. September 1919 fand die erste Vertreterversammlung nach dem Kriege statt. Mit Ausnahme des früheren Reichslandes Elsaß-Lothringen und der besetzten Gebiete waren Vertreter aller Gaue anwesend. Präsident Josias von Heeringen betonte in seiner Eröffnungsrede, es sei die Aufgabe des Kyffhäuserbundes, dem Kaiser und den Fürsten treue Erinnerung zu bewahren und nationales Pflichtbewusstsein zu leben. Deutsch leben und Deutsch denken hieß die Devise. Generalfeldmarschall von Hindenburg wurde zum Ehrenpräsidenten ernannt.

Die Landesverbände erkannten sehr schnell, dass nur ein noch engerer Zusammenschluss in dieser Zeit das Überleben der Krieger- und Militärvereine sicherte. So wurde am Abgeordnetentag des Deutschen Kriegerbundes in Lübeck (August 1921) und an der Vertreterversammlung des Kyffhäuserbundes auf dem Kyffhäuser (September 1921) folgender Beschluss gefasst:

 Diese Änderungen traten zum 1. Januar 1922 in Kraft.

1922 – Deutscher Reichskriegerbund "Kyffhäuser".

1925 fand erstmals ein gesamtdeutscher Kriegertag statt. Als Austragungsort wählte man Leipzig und das dortige Völkerschlachtdenkmal. Aufgrund des bemerkenswerten Erfolges wurde die Veranstaltung in folgenden Jahren wiederholt: 1927 in Berlin, 1929 in München und 1932 in Dortmund. Der 5. Reichskriegertag sollte vom 7. Juli bis 9. Juli 1934 in Kassel durchgeführt werden. Plakate, Postkarten, Eintrittskarten waren gedruckt, als am 30. Juni 1934 die Röhm-Morde stattfanden. Dieser angebliche Putschversuch gegen Hitler veranlasste den Bundesführer, den Reichskriegertag 1934 umgehend abzusagen. Er wurde vom 6. bis 8. Juli 1935 nachgeholt.

Auf der Kyffhäusertagung vom 7. Mai 1933 in Berlin bekannte sich der damalige Präsident General der Artillerie Rudolf von Horn mit dem ganzen Kyffhäuserbund zu Adolf Hitler und besiegelte damit das Ende der bis dato selbständigen Landesverbände. Bereits am 21. Mai erfolgte die erste grundlegende Führeranordnung und der Umbau des Bundes unter Aufhebung der bisherigen vollen Selbständigkeit der einzelnen Landesverbände. Die parlamentarische Vereinsführung wurde abgeschafft. An die Stelle des Mehrheitsbeschlusses trat die Führeranordnung. Am 1. und 2. Juli 1933 marschierten bei den Kyffhäusertagen in Potsdam 80.000 Mitglieder durch die Stadt. An der Begrüßungsfeier am Luftschiffhafen verkündete der Präsident des Kyffhäuserbundes, Rudolf von Horn, die von ihm, auf Vorschlag der Reichsleitung der NSDAP, vorgenommene Ernennung des Oberstleutnants Sichting zu seinem Stellvertreter.

Im August 1933 bestimmte von Horn die bisher von der Kyffhäuserjugend geführte Flagge zur Bundesflagge, die künftig als einheitliches Bundessymbol von jedem Bundesverein neben der Vereinsfahne zu führen sei. Die Flagge bestand aus rotem Stoff, in dessen ganzer Fläche das Eiserne Kreuz stand, mit den Umrissen des Kyffhäuserdenkmals im Mittelpunkt im Weißen Kreis. An dieser Flagge wurde der Hakenkreuzwimpel befestigt. Als einziger Schmuck trug der Flaggenstock eine vergoldete Spitze mit dem Eisernen Kreuz. Der Deutsche Reichskriegerbund "Kyffhäuser" erhielt im Januar 1934 in Oberst a. D. Wilhelm Reinhard einen neuen Bundesführer, nachdem von Horn von diesem Amt zurückgetreten und am 4. Februar 1934 verstorben war.

Die Gleichschaltung des Kyffhäuserbundes schritt weiter fort. Eine Bundestracht mit Kyffhäusermütze und Kyffhäuserarmbinde wurde eingeführt, dazu musste die Hakenkreuz-Armbinde getragen werden. Mit dem Gesetz über den Neuaufbau des Reiches vom 30. Januar 1934 wurden die Länderparlamente aufgelöst und die Hoheitsrechte dem Reich übertragen. Auswirkungen hatte dieses Gesetz auch auf die Organisationsstruktur des Reichskriegerbundes. Mit dem 13. März 1934 wurden dessen Bundesrat und Beirat von Bundesführer Reinhard aufgelöst. Ebenso wurden die bisher existierenden Landes-Kriegerverbände mit Wirkung zum 1. Juli 1934 abgeschafft und in Angleichung an die bestehende SA-Gruppeneinteilung 22 neue Landesverbände geschaffen. Der bisherige Verein wurde zu einer "Krieger-Kameradschaft". Die Frauengruppen wurden aufgelöst, ihre Aufgaben übernahm die Frauenschaft der NSDAP. Bereits durch Verfügung vom 26. Mai 1934 wurde der Landesverband Rheinland mit dem 1. Juli 1934 aufgelöst und in die Landesverbände Niederrhein und Westmark geteilt.

Die Wohlfahrtseinrichtungen der bundesstaatlichen Landeskriegerverbände waren bis 1935 selbständig geblieben, wurden aber zum 1. Januar 1936 der Deutschen Krieger-Wohlfahrtsgemeinschaft (dem ehemaligen Deutschen Kriegerbund) zugeordnet. Der Abschluss der inneren Organisation erfolgte am 1. April 1937 mit der Neugliederung des Kyffhäuserbundes, der in 13 Landesgebiete (nicht mehr Landesverbände) eingeteilt wurde. Diese entsprachen jetzt den SS-Oberabschnitten.

1938 – NS-Reichskriegerbund ("Kyffhäuserbund") e. V.
Mit der Verordnung vom 4. März 1938 wurden alle anderen Soldatenbünde in den NS-Reichskriegerbund eingegliedert. Nur die NS-Kriegsopferversorgung (NSKOV) mit ihren Sonderaufgaben für Kriegsbeschädigte blieb neben dem NS-Reichskriegerbund bestehen. Der NS-Marinebund und der Deutsche Kolonialkrieger-Bund durften ihre Namen behalten, mussten sich aber organisatorisch dem Reichskriegerbund unterstellen. Durch Führerbefehl wurde der Deutsche Reichskriegerbund "Kyffhäuser" am 4. März 1938 in NS-Reichskriegerbund "Kyffhäuser" umbenannt.

Am 3. März 1943, einen Monat nach der Niederlage in der Schlacht von Stalingrad, löste Adolf Hitler den Kyffhäuserbund auf Reichsebene auf. Das Vermögen wurde der NSDAP übertragen und die weiter bestehenden lokalen Vereine, die in der Endphase des Zweiten Weltkriegs den Grundstock für die Volkssturm-Einheiten bildeten, der Partei unterstellt.

Nach 1945
Durch Kontrollratsgesetz Nr. 2 vom 10. Oktober 1945 wurden alle Organisationen und Einrichtungen, die der nationalsozialistischen Herrschaft gedient haben, aufgelöst und liquidiert, so auch der NS-Reichskriegerbund.

1952 begann die Wiedergründung des Verbandes mit allen Landesverbänden. Heute betont er seine Rolle als Reservisten- und Schießsportverband. Ein Spiegel-Artikel aus dem Jahr 1990 legte nahe, dass er sich am rechten Rand des politischen Spektrums bewegt. Der Verband sieht sich durch die "Kyffhäusertreffen" der Alternative für Deutschland unbegründet mit dieser Partei assoziiert und betont die Verteidigung von Rechtsstaatlichkeit und Grundgesetz als zentrale Aufgaben des Verbandes.

Gremien
Der Bundessportausschuss des Kyffhäuserbundes als leitendes Gremium organisiert gemeinsam mit dem Bundesschießwart die zweijährlichen Tagungen der aus den deutschen Bundesländern entsandten Landesschießwarte. Bundessportausschuss und Bundesschießwart organisieren gemeinsam weisungsberechtigt die funktionale Ausrichtung der hierarchisch untergeordneten Landes-, Kreis- und Kameradschaftsschießwarte.

Eine der wichtigsten Aufgaben des Bundesschießwartes ist die zentrale Ausschreibung der als schießsportliche Großveranstaltung organisierten Bundesmeisterschaft des KB im Schießsport.

Q: remove redundant entries from list of paths I have a list of files and directories. I'm trying to write a function to remove entries where there is also an entry for an ancestor directory present. What I have so far seems to work, but I think it is inefficient because it tests the full list of directories for every file.
Maybe there's a library out there to do this, but I can't find it. The purpose is to allow the user to choose a list of files and directories to upload.
As you can see from the example, directories are a subset of entries. I'd prefer to just provide the entries.
import os

def remove_redundant_entries(entries, directories):
    result = []
    for entry in entries:
        # make a copy and successively get the dirname and test it
        partial_path = entry
        found = False
        while partial_path != os.sep:
            partial_path = os.path.dirname(partial_path)
            if partial_path in directories:
                found = True
                break
        if not found:
            result.append(entry)
    return result

entries = [
    "/home/fred/work/f1.txt",
    "/home/fred/work/f2.txt",
    "/home/fred/play/f3.txt",
    "/home/fred/play",
    "/home/jane/dev/f1.txt",
    "/home/jane"]

directories = [
    "/home/fred/play",
    "/home/jane"]

print remove_redundant_entries(entries, directories)

# result:
['/home/fred/work/f1.txt', '/home/fred/work/f2.txt', '/home/fred/play', '/home/jane']

if you know of a library or can give a clue to a better algorithm I'd appreciate it. Meanwhile, I will try something based on sorting the entries, as ancestors should always precede their children in the list.
EDIT: - RESULTS
I ran all solutions 10,000 times through the profiler with the tests set - and with one file added /home/fred/work/f2.txt.bak to test make sure a regular filename does cause another to be discarded.
My original code: 1060004 function calls in 0.394 seconds
Stephen Rauch's answer - worked first time: 3250004 function calls in 2.089 seconds
carrdelling's answer - which didn't work for similar filenames: 480004 function calls in 0.146 seconds
carrdelling's edited answer - works for all cases: 680004 function calls in 0.231 seconds
Thanks to everyone who contributed!

A: If you sort your input list of entries, then the problem is easier:
def remove_redundant_entries(entries):

    split_entries = sorted(entries)

    valid_entries = []

    for entry in split_entries:

        if any(entry.startswith(p) for p in valid_entries):
            continue
        valid_entries.append(entry)

    return valid_entries

Note that any short-circuits as soon as one comparison is true (you it would not compare agains the whole list unless strictly necessary). Also, since the list comes sorted, you are guaranteed that the output will have the minimum number (and highest level) paths.
EDIT:
If you also need the ability to keep in the list multiple files in the same folder (even if some file names are subsets of others), you just need to modify the sorting criteria:
split_entries = sorted(entries, key=lambda x: (x.count(os.sep), -len(x)))
With that, folders that are higher in the tree will come earlier (so you'll end up with the minimum number of paths), but within a folder files with longer names will come earlier - so they won't get discarded because of files with shorter (prefix-like) names.

A: You can use a set to lookup the already present more efficiently like:
Code:
def remove_redundant_entries(entries):
    present = set()
    result = []
    for entry in sorted(entries):
        path = os.path.abspath(entry).split(os.sep)
        found = any(
            tuple(path[:i+1]) in present for i in range(len(path)))
        if not found:
            result.append(entry)
            present.add(tuple(path))
    return result

Test Code:
import os

entries = [
    "/home/fred/work/f1.txt",
    "/home/fred/work/f2.txt",
    "/home/fred/play/f3.txt",
    "/home/fred/play",
    "/home/jane/dev/f1.txt",
    "/home/jane"]

result = remove_redundant_entries(entries)
expected = ['/home/fred/work/f1.txt', '/home/fred/work/f2.txt',
            '/home/fred/play', '/home/jane']
assert set(result) == set(expected)

We are delighted to announce that 18-year-old Douglas Nyaupembe, has signed a one-year professional contract, after continuing to impress with his hard work and infectious attitude.
Dougie has been part of the club's flourishing Youth and Academy set-up since U13 level. During his time at the club he has developed into a versatile player, that can play in a number of positions; he has experience as a centre-forward, a centre midfielder and currently plays at right-back.
Dougie is strong in one vs one defending and has made tremendous strides forward in improving his end product in the final third.
Such was his progress within the Youth Team this season; the right-back was made captain of Steven Schumacher's side in the Lancashire Senior Cup Final against Fleetwood, where the Shakers went on to lift the trophy.
Dougie also played a pivotal role throughout the Youth Team's superb FA Youth Cup campaign, where they progressed to the fifth round of the competition, the furthest any Bury side has been since 1966.
His prayer was answered at the end of this season when he was called-up to Ryan Lowe's First Team for the final game against AFC Wimbledon. In the 65th minute of the game, he came on in place of Ryan Cooney, who was stretchered off with a fractured cheekbone. Dougie impressed during his time on the pitch with his fearless performance.
Dougie is a popular character at the club; he has an incredible attitude towards his work and an outstanding commitment to improving, trying to become the best player he possibly can. The coaching staff at the club say he is a credit to the Youth Department and they take pride in helping him improve. He is always pushing for more, working on his fitness and his technical ability every day, and asking for extra training to help improve his game.
Today we spoke with Dougie who said: "I am happy to sign my first professional contract at the club I have been with since the Under 13's.
"Making it all the way here is a big achievement, but it's only the start of something amazing.

News / Aberdeen
£130million new bond for Aberdeen on the cards
by Jon Hebditch
Aberdeen City Council insiders have revealed the local authority could return to the London Stock Exchange to seek a new bond of £130million after receiving fresh inquiries from investors.
The north-east authority made history last year by becoming the first Scottish council to play the markets and brought around £370million into the city coffers.
It's understood the last issuing was approved by councillors of all parties unanimously and the money will need to be repaid by the 2050s.
The latest move has been hailed as a "strong sign of investor confidence" by members of the ruling Labour-led administration, who pointed out that the prestigious Moody's agency had given the council a double A2 credit rating.
But opposition leaders responded by accusing Labour of a "spend, spend, spend" attitude.
In February, it was reported the council's debt will climb to more than £1.2billion by 2019, according to forecasts by financial officers. This does not include the latest £130million.
Council leader, Jenny Laing, argued the city of London's interest showed that "confidence in the Aberdeen economy was returning, following the collapse in the price of North Sea oil".
She added: "A further bond issue may help us to set the city on a course of stability and prosperity for decades to come.
"The rating from Moody's also demonstrates this administration's able and proactive handling of the city's finances during the past five years.
"We have been battling for financial autonomy from the Scottish Government since local authority funding was cut again and again.
"Previously, under the SNP administration, the council had been forced to borrow under the Private Finance Initiative which has cost us millions of pounds extra in interest.
"A bond issuing – if you have the necessary confidence from the market – is the cheapest possible way to borrow money, thus allowing us to invest in much needed public services."
However, SNP group leader Stephen Flynn replied: "I don't think the people of Aberdeen will have known any political group who appear to rejoice at the prospect of increased debt more than this set of Labour councillors.
"If Labour had focused less time on 'spend, spend, spend' and more on delivery, we could perhaps have seen fewer projects like the Third Don Crossing and Town House roof coming in late and massively over budget."

Mondal Construction Company Ltd., West Bengal & Others v/s Securities & Exchange Board of India SEBI Bhavan
Misc. Application No. 1155 of 2021 & Appeal No. 623 of 2021
Decided On, 04 October 2021
At, SEBI Securities amp Exchange Board of India Securities Appellate Tribunal
By, THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE TARUN AGARWALA
By, PRESIDING OFFICER & THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE M.T. JOSHI
By, JUDICIAL MEMBER
For the Appellants: Chandra Sekhar Jha, Aditya Kumar, Advocates. For the Respondent: Abhiraj Arora, Rashi Dalmia, Karthik Narayan, Advocates i/b ELP.
Tarun Agarwala, Presiding Officer (Oral)
1. The present appeal has been filed challenging the order dated May 25, 2021 passed by the Recovery Officer (hereinafter referred to as 'RO') of Securities and Exchange Board of India (hereinafter referred to as 'SEBI') as well as the notice of demand certificate dated November 27, 2019 and notice of attachment Nos. 5417 and 5418 of 2019.
2. The facts leading to the filing of the appeal is, that the Whole Time Member (hereinafter referred to as 'WTM') by an order dated January 15, 2016 found that the issuance of Redeemable Preference Shares (RPS) by the company was in violation of Sections 60, 56(1) and 56(3) and 73 of the Companies Act, 1956 and accordingly issued a number of directions including the direction for refund of money so collected by the company alongwith interest. Against the said order, an appeal was filed which was disposed of by this Tribunal by an order dated April 28, 2016. This Tribunal, in paragraph No. 3 of its order, directed the appellant to deposit Rs. 8,12,500/- and further comply with the directions contained in paragraph No. 11.1(e) and (f) of the WTM order. In paragraph No. 3(c), this Tribunal directed that if the payments made by the appellants are ascertained then the rate and quantum of interest would be determined.
3. According to the appellants necessary information and proof was given with regard to the payments made by them. Since the same was not accepted the notice of demand certificate dated April 27, 2019 and notice of attachment No. 5417 and 5418 was issued against which the appellants preferred Appeal No. 24 of 2020 which was dismissed alongwith costs as this Tribunal found that the appellants had not complied with the directions contained in the Tribunal's earlier order dated April 28, 2016 and had also found that the appellants stated false facts on oath. For facility, paragraph No. 11 of the order of this Tribunal dated January 29, 2020 is extracted hereunder :-
"11. In any case, we find that the directions contained in order of the Tribunal in para 3(b) has not been complied till date. The conditions stipulated in para 11.1(e) and (f) of the order of the WTM was required to be complied by the appellant namely i.e. list/report was not signed by two peer reviewed Chartered Accountants who are in the panel of any public authority or public institution. There is nothing to indicate that the list which has been annexed to Exhibit 'E' had been verified by two peer reviewed Chartered Accountants as per para 11.1(f) of the order of the WTM. Further, we find that SEBI had issued several emails directing the appellants to file supporting documents like bank statement, cash vouchers relied upon by Chartered Accountants, contact details of the investors to whom refunds have been made etc. These documents were necessary in order for the respondent to ascertain as to whether the appellants were justified in contending that Rs. 2,43,81,600/- had already been refunded. We do not find any document in support of the submission made by the appellant."
4. Thereafter, it transpires that the appellants appeared before the RO and filed representations / letters indicating compliance of the direction of the WTM order of 2016 and the directions of this Tribunal dated April 28, 2016. The RO considered and found that the alleged repayments which have been certified by the Chartered Accountant does not include interest which was subsequently affirmed by another report of the Chartered Accountant. The RO came to the conclusion that the appellants have failed to furnish requisite proof of the repayments done by them to the holders and accordingly held that the recovery proceedings will continue till the directions of the WTM dated January 15, 2016 and the directions given by this Tribunal in its orders dated April 28, 2016 and January 29, 2020 are not complied with.
5. Before us, the learned counsel contended that necessary proof has been furnished by providing the certificates of the two Chartered Accountants and the interest components has not been calculated by SEBI and that the same would be paid as and when it is calculated.
6. In our opinion, it is clear that the alleged deposits made by the appellants did not cover the component of interest which has been certified by the Chartered Accountant. Further, the determination of the rate and quantum of interest would only arise after SEBI is satisfied that the appellants have repaid the RPS holders of the alleged amount of Rs. 2,43,81,600/- which apparently has not been satisfied till date.
7. For the reasons stated aforesaid, we do not find any merit in the appeal and is dismissed summarily at the admission stage itself
without calling for a reply. 8. The present matter was heard through video conference due to Covid-19 pandemic. At this stage it is not possible to sign a copy of this order nor a certified copy of this order could be issued by the Registry. In these circumstances, this order will be digitally signed by the Private Secretary on behalf of the bench and all concerned parties are directed to act on the digitally signed copy of this order. Parties will act on production of a digitally signed copy sent by fax and/or email.


Things to do in Copenhagen can roughly be divided in two; those you will only want to do in summer, when Danes head outside to soak up every last bit of daylight, and those to enjoy when winter lowers itself over the country, forcing you inside with its darkness and cold temperatures. In summer locals enjoy being by, on and in the water. Rent a kayak or a small motor boat to explore the city's canals, head to the harbor bath at Islands Brygge to swim, tan, and party with the rest of the city, walk around the inner lakes or the lake of Christiania, or find a bar located on the waterside to take in the passing boat traffic. Familiarize yourself with the city by renting a bike, which will allow you to spend your days at the beautiful beaches north of Copenhagen and your nights at the city's Meatpacking District, without wasting time sitting in a train.
In autumn and winter it's all about cozying up inside. Wondering what to do in Copenhagen then? The many museums and galleries will provide you with provocative color on grey, rainy days; you can explore the treasures of the royal castles or just find a bar with a fireplace, a wine list, and a friendly bartender to help you cure the blues. If nothing works, do as the Danes do and head to the Botanical Garden to soak up the heat and humidity in the stunningly beautiful greenhouses made of glass.
The heart of Copenhagen is surprisingly compact. You can easily stroll along the Strøget, walk up to the Castle overlooking the harbor, drop by the Little Mermaid, tour the Amalienborg Palace, and get to Nyhavn with is waterfront restaurants in time for a late lunch. Strøget, Europe's longest pedestrian mall, runs through the heart of Copenhagen and is home to both international brands but also uniquely Danish stores, like the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain outlet and a branch of the Magasin du Nord department store. English-language tours of the contemporary Opera House, designed by Henning Larsen, are offered daily for 100 kroner. Tickets should be booked in advance on the website. Perhaps the most famous amusement park in the world, Tivoli Gardens isn't big on high-speed roller coasters. Instead it's more of a playland meets beer garden, with the rides decidedly mellow as parents and grandparents come as much to stroll, snack and socialize.
