Манаса-путра (санскр. Mânasâ-putras = «сыновья духа») — в индийской мифологии одиннадцать сыновей Брахмы, рождённые им духовно.

Первые четверо младенцев обратились в саньясины сразу же после рождения, став поклонниками Вишну. Из-за чего так и остались детьми и не могли продолжить род. За то, что уклонились от произведения потомства и остались вечными «отроками» (Kumâra), их называют Кумары. Старший из них, — Санат-кумара. В первой части (aṃśa) «Вишну-пураны», описывающей творение (pratisarga — «космология») — в пятой главе — раскрываются девять творений: три первичных, пять вторичных и девятое творение (когда родились Кумары), которое считается одновременно и первичным и вторичным (ВП 1.V: 23). Патронимическое имя Санат-кумары и его братьев — Вайдхатра (Vaidhâtra).

После чего Брахма создал семерых мудрецов для творения Вселенной. Этих мифических прародителей человеческого рода также именуют Праджапати («господин творения»).

В памятниках индийского брахманизма, например, в «Законах Ману», Брахма, как деятельный творец и охранитель вселенной, именуется Праджапати (санскр. Prajâ-pati — «господин творения», «прародитель», «творец»); так же именуется Ману Сваямбхува, — как сын Брахмы и создатель десяти Риши, духовных сыновей Брахмы, от которых произошёл и весь людской род. По имени своего отца эти семь мудрецов также получают имя Праджапати, как «прародители» человечества. Они отождествляются с семью великими Риши (Махариши, мудрецами).

One plus one is brew - Cassons give students a maths lesson at Moorhouse's brewery
A group of secondary school pupils had a maths lesson with a difference after they swapped their classroom for a brewery.
The Year 10 pupils from Rhyddings Business and Enterprise School in Oswaldtwistle took a tour of Moorhouse's thanks to Cassons in Haslingden.
Cassons, who provide accountancy services for Moorhouse's, have been working in partnership with Rhyddings to boost student employability as part of an initiative called Business Class.
As well as taking a tour of the Burnley brewery and learning about the fermenting and production processes, the pupils attended workshops hosted by Cassons staff which looked at how accountants and business advisers help businesses plan their day to day operations.
From working out the impact of changes in the price of ingredients to looking at the different roles accountants play in the workplace, the event helped the students develop a clearer understanding of how the maths they study at school works in the real world.
Stuart Thompson, Commercial Manager at Moorhouse's Brewery said: "It was great to see the students enjoying learning about our business. Having them complete the calculations we use, whilst sat in the brewery really helped to bring the session to life."
Peter Johnson, HR Partner at Cassons, who headed up the event said: "Inviting the students to Moorhouse's is all about bringing maths to life, with particular emphasis on how the subject can be applied in the business world.
"The activities the students have taken part in help to illustrate how maths helps companies operate on a daily basis.
Paul Mercer, Maths teacher at Rhyddings said: "It's often difficult for students to imagine how maths can be applied in the world beyond the classroom, so visiting a company like Moorhouse's gives them a great opportunity to see how the subject works in real life situations."
Cassons and Rhyddings were introduced through Business in the Community's 'Business Class' programme. The initiative encourages businesses and schools to form long-term strategic partnerships that benefit both students and employers.
Clare Hutchinson, North West Regional Education Manager of Business in the Community said: "We wanted to help young people to realise accountants also act as business advisers, helping companies like Moorhouse's with their business planning.
"I think the students have come away with a much clearer understanding of how to apply the maths they learn in the classroom."
Damon Smith, a pupil at Rhyddings Business and Enterprise School said: "It's been really interesting to see the different processes involved in brewing and learning how the business operates day to day has helped to make much more sense of how important maths can be."

The Surprising Origins of TV Character Names
BY Christian Bond
What's in a name? More than you'd think, especially when it comes to TV's most beloved characters. Inspiration comes in all shapes and sizes, and here are some examples of how deep show creators had to dig.
1. Springfield's Citizens Are From Portland
When Matt Groening was designing characters for The Simpsons, he drew inspiration from his own childhood. Ned Flanders, Reverend Lovejoy, and Kearney are all named after streets in his hometown of Portland, Oregon.
2. The Simpsons Have Real Familial Roots
Matt Groening didn't stop at street names when it came to using his upbringing as inspiration. The Simpson family themselves are named after Groening's own family: His father Homer, his mom Marge, and his sisters Maggie and Lisa. Bart, meant to represent Groening, is an anagram of "Brat."
3. Homer's Middle Name
The "J" in Homer J. Simpson comes from The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. Rocky and Bullwinkle share the middle initial "J" in honor of Jay Ward, the show's producer.
4. Phillip Fry Wasn't Originally Phillip
Phillip J. Fry of Futurama is named for actor Phil Hartman, who was cast for the role Zapp Brannigan before his death in 1998. Fry was originally going to be named "Curtis," but the switch was made to honor Hartman.
5. Bender's Brat Pack Past
20th Century Fox / Universal Pictures
The name for Futurama's Bender was chosen by Matt Groening as an homage to The Breakfast Club's resident "criminal" John Bender. (In fact, The Breakfast Club's John Bender told the high school principal, "Eat my shorts," an eventual catchphrase for Groening creation Bart Simpson.)
5. A Futurama Name From the Past
Also from Futurama, Doctor Zoidberg is named after an Apple II game that series co-developer David X. Cohen created in high school called "Zoid."
6. Big Bang Tips Its Hat to a Sitcom Legend
Sheldon and Leonard from The Big Bang Theory are named after The Dick Van Dyke Show producer Sheldon Leonard.
7. 30 Rock's Citrus Star
The name Liz Lemon was chosen to encapsulate the personality of Tina Fey's character: bright and sour. Lemon's middle name, Miervaldis, is from a friend of Fey's who is of Latvian descent.
8. Kramer Was Always a Neighbor
Seinfeld's Cosmo Kramer is named after Larry David's former neighbor Kenny Kramer. When Kenny found out they were using his name, he contacted Castle Rock Entertainment with a list of demands including the chance to play Kramer on the show (a scenario that was recreated on Seinfeld itself). He also conducted the "Seinfeld Reality Tour," a sightseeing bus tour that made its way to the sitcom as well.
9. The Truth is Out There
The X-Files' Fox Mulder is not named after the Fox Network, but rather after a childhood friend of series creator Chris Carter whose name was Fox. When choosing a name for Mulder's partner, Carter chose Scully in honor of his favorite sportscaster, Vin Scully of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
10. Inspiration From the Diamond
M*A*S*H writer Ken Levine also drew on the Dodgers for inspiration when naming patients for the army hospital. According to Levine, "The seventh season we just used the 1978 Los Angeles Dodgers roster. When you watch those shows you'll find private Garvey, Cey, Russell, Sutton, Rau, Rhoden, etc. By the end of the season we were down to coaches, announcers (Scully), and even the owner, O'Malley."
BONUS: A Common High School
What do Freaks and Geeks, The Wonder Years, and Glee all have in common? William McKinley High School. According to an interview with The Huffington Post, Freaks and Geeks producer Judd Apatow said the name was chosen, "because it was the only president's name which was legally clearable… We didn't realize it was used on The Wonder Years. I assume they used it for the same reason."

Kim-Putin summit reaffirms onset of multipolar future
John Wight has written for a variety of newspapers and websites, including the Independent, Morning Star, Huffington Post, Counterpunch, London Progressive Journal, and Foreign Policy Journal.

The summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and President Vladimir Putin was significant on various levels and reaffirms the onset of a multipolar world.
Knowing your enemies and understanding your friends is a maxim to live by. At the level of nation states, at a historic moment, defined by Gramsci's rather overused but nonetheless prescient formulation, "the old is dying and the new cannot be born," it is more than a rule to live by, it is a prerequisite of survival.
Failing to understand their enemies was central to the grim fate that befell Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi and the countries they led, Iraq and Libya. Thus far, the North Koreans, led by Kim Jong-un, have not allowed themselves to go down the same path.
On the contrary, the bullish stance of the North Koreans in the face of Washington's attempt at a cynical manoeuvre when it comes to the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, agreed at the landmark Singapore Summit between Kim and President Trump in 2018, confirms that Pyongyang is a place where history is viewed as a guide to the present and future, and not merely a reference to the past.
Also on rt.com Putin and Kim's 'struggle for dominance' decided in first handshake – body language expert (VIDEO)
Thus unilateral nuclear disarmament is simply out of the question for a state whose existence since it was founded in 1948 has provided its leadership and people with an unparalleled appreciation of the brute imperialist reality of US hegemony. Moreover, unilateral nuclear disarmament is not what was agreed in Singapore.
The Singapore Agreement on denuclearization refers specifically to the Korean Peninsula. Between then and now, however, Trump's foreign policy has come under the malign influence of arch neocons John Bolton and Mike Pompeo, resulting in the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula agreed in Singapore being transmuted to mean instead the unilateral denuclearization of the DPRK.
Conveniently elided in this cynical sleight of hand is the US nuclear umbrella that remains in place over the Peninsula with the 'stated' purpose of guaranteeing the security of South Korea and Japan, key US regional satellites (allies, if you prefer). Unstated, and for obvious reasons, is the more crucial purpose of upholding regional hegemony with particular emphasis on the containment of China.
The diminution of goodwill over the continuing deadlock after the Hanoi Summit in February, which failed to produce any compromise over denuclearization and the lifting of sanctions, has been exacerbated by Mike Pompeo's recent testimony at a US subcommittee hearing during which, in response to a question, he referred to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un as a "tyrant".
Pyongyang, in response, demanded that Pompeo is no longer be involved in any further negotiations or talks. North Korean foreign ministry spokesman, Kwon Jong-gun, accused the US Secretary of State of lacking maturity, being "reckless", and stating that if Pompeo remains involved "the table will be lousy once again and the talks will become entangled."
Coming back to the summit in Vladivostok, Kim's first ever visit to Russia was reaffirmation of the longstanding fraternal ties that exist between Moscow and Pyongyang, stretching back to the Soviet era, and reflective of Russia's emergence as a geopolitical and diplomatic counterweight to Washington in the here and now.
Also on rt.com 'We have no secrets from US': Putin says he is ready to tell Trump about Kim talks
The anti-hegemonic thrust of Russia's foreign policy, measured most prominently in its successful military and diplomatic intervention in the conflict in Syria, provides states such as the DPRK, which have long sat in the crosshairs of US-led Western imperialism, with sufficient reason to place trust in Moscow's capabilities. This is not forgetting Russia's successful (at least up to this point) navigation of an unprecedented political crisis in Washington that evinces no sign of abating – wherein rampant and unhinged Russophobia has turned the US political and mainstream media establishment inside out and upside down.
Moscow, to be sure, has vested interests of its own with respect to the trajectory of events on the Korean Peninsula. The fact is that Russia shares a land border with the DPRK, albeit small, dictating that denuclearization is also of vital importance to the Kremlin.
Ultimately, and understandably, Pyongyang's growing desperation for sanctions relief after the aforesaid February Hanoi Summit between Kim and Trump ended in failure, was front and centre during the two days of meetings.
We must here be mindful of the distinction between UN sanctions and US unilateral sanctions. The former were agreed by the UN Security Council and first introduced in 2006, primarily targeting the DPRK's nuclear program. The latter, meanwhile, are an exercise in economic asphyxiation, designed to bring the country to its knees with the wholesale immiseration of its people.
As things stand, the sanctions have inarguably wrought significant damage to the DPRK economy. In July 2018, the Bank of Korea, Seoul's central bank, published a report on the impact they were having, estimating that the Pyongyang's real annual gross domestic product suffered a 3.5 percent fall in 2017, while its exports declined by a massive 37.2 percent.
Also on rt.com China, Russia… 'we all have to get rid' of nukes, Trump says amid reports he eyes arms control deal
This being said, there is no evidence of famine or mass starvation in the country according to South Korean intelligence and various other agencies engaged with the issue. This is no doubt in partly down to the North's sanction-evading efforts, but also the government's diligent use of the country's foreign currency reserves to stabilise domestic prices via the purchase of imports from its main trading partner, China.
Regardless, the impact on the country's relatively weak foreign currency reserves dictates that sanctions relief is a pressing need, along with humanitarian aid, specifically food aid, to alleviate the crisis and hardship being felt by a large section of the population, particularly in rural areas.
Russia's position as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, therefore, where in conjunction with China it has already been arguing for sanctions relief for the DPRK, ensured that the first summit between both countries, since Kim Jong-un's ascension to power in 2011, could not have come at a more crucial time. A sober appraisal of the issue negates the possibility of any real progress being made when something of a neocon renaissance has ensued in Washington, marked by the return of Mr Bolton to high office.
Perhaps it will be a case of waiting and hoping for a more emollient administration to enter the White House after the 2020 US presidential elections. But, saying that, there is a strong case to be made that on foreign policy, with the notable and noble exception of Tulsi Gabbard, an ironclad consensus reigns when it comes to the officially-designated enemies of the Republic.
The principles of realpolitik dictate that only the strong can compromise and only equals can reach agreement. The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is in no position to do the former and cannot afford to lose the means by which to maintain a semblance of the latter. The hardship its people are experiencing is the price of independence and the refusal to bow to the Empire.
Russia and China represent hope of a future empire-free. The plight of the DPRK is just one reason why this particular future cannot come soon enough.

Poll Bribery Scam: 'Wike Ordered Me To Collect N700m From Bank – Rivers PDP Secretary
Editor Posted On May 19, 2016
By Kennedy Friday
The detained Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Mr. Samuel Johnson Okpoko has told the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission that he collected N700million poll bribery cash from Fidelity Bank on the instruction of Governor Nyesom Wike.
But while Okpoko will soon be charged to court, the anti-graft agency might put the invitation of the governor on hold because of constitutional immunity.
The immunity however does not prevent the EFCC from investigating the allegation against the governor and keeping vital information for his trial after his tenure.
According to a source in EFCC, Okpoko admitted that he collected the cash in two tranches at Trans Amadi branch of Fidelity Bank Plc in Port Harcourt.
The source said: "Operatives of the EFCC, have grilled the Rivers State Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Mr. Samuel Johnson Okpoko , for collecting N700million from the controversial $115milloon lodged with Fidelity Bank Plc, by the immediate past Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Allison- Madueke
"Okpoko, who was the Rivers state's PDP campaign coordinator in the 2015 Presidential Election collected the sum of N700 million in two tranches of N600 million and N100 million respectively at the Trans Amadi branch of Fidelity Bank Plc, Port- Harcourt.
Investigations by the EFCC revealed that Okpoko cashed N600 million on March 27 and N100 million on March 31,2015.
"Explaining how he became involved, Okpoko said he was instructed by the then PDP governorship candidate, Nyesom Wike to go to the branch of Fidelity Bank to cash some money there.
The source quoted Okpoko as saying: "I was with my governor in his house sometime 27th day of March 2015, when he got a call and Chief Barrister Nyesom Wike after the phone call told me that the call was from Fidelity Bank and they have some money for him".
But Special Assistant to Governor Wike on electronic media Mr Simeon Nwakaudu said: "We are not aware of what you talked about in your test message"
He said Okpoko was already in the custody of the EFCC and would be charged to court soon.
Responding to a question, the source said: "Since the governor enjoys immunity by virtue of Section 308 of the 1999 Constitution, we cannot invite Nyesom Wike now for interrogation on the allegation by Okpoko.
"This however does not prevent the EFCC from probing issues connected with the payment of the N700million and asking for refund from the beneficiaries."
Section 308 of the constitution reads in part: "Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this constitution but subject to sub-section 2 of this section- (a) no civil or criminal proceedings shall be instituted or continued against a person to whom this section applies during his period of office; (b) a person to whom this section applies shall not be arrested or imprisoned during that period either on pursuance of the process of any court or otherwise; and (c ) no process of any court requiring or compelling the appearance of a person to whom this section applies, shall be applied for or issued.

I arrived in Vietnam around the middle of January 1970. I was billeted at the Metropole for a week or possibly two before we were moved, due to the censorship controversy, to the MACV Annex near Tan Son Nhut. It was shortly after that move that the Metropole was bombed. That would have made the date of this bombing late January or early February of 1970.
See Memo by Jerry Nelson at the bottom of this page regarding the actual date.
The story about a terrorist attack near the Ky Son Annex taken from the Chicago Tribune for October 17, 1968. Just FYI, I zoomed in on this story (in print preview) and was able to see the date on the paper it is 1966 not 1968. The only reason I did [this] was I lived in the Ky Son, and did not remember a terrorist attack while living there. Keep up the great work, don't know how you do it. Thanks for all the great info and hard work!
I recall a bomb going off across the street at what I would guess to be the movie theater in late 68-early 69. I was off duty and watching Bonanza on Sunday night in the lobby of the Annex when it blew.
What was the name of the BEQ near the KySon that was bombed either just before or just after you got to Vietnam? When was it?

A gooey brown virtual oil slick will cover the National Audubon Society website in a ground-breaking Internet campaign giving people the chance to clean up the virtual oil spill by taking action to protect the environment. The campaignmarks the second anniversary of Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico. and warns of threats to reckless drilling in the Arctic.
On Day One of the campaign, the oil spill fouls the entire homepage at Audubon.org. But all is not lost. Website visitors have seven days to contribute to Internet-wide efforts to contain the spill by taking part in daily actions to protect birds and people and their habitats.
For example, people are encouraged to help Heal the Gulf by supporting the RESTORE Act which would ensure that 80 percent of the penalty money resulting from the BP oil spill goes to restoration projects on the Gulf Coast.
"Two years out from the start of the BP disaster, – even as the nation is faced with more risky drilling in the Arctic -- Audubon wanted to make it clear the oil and birds don't mix;" said David Yarnold, President and CEO of Audubon.
Over the course of the week-long campaign, online supporters are urged to take action ranging from advocacy to education to at-home environmentalism.
To make a difference, supporters can write a letter to Congress, take a kid birding, or even just swap out a light bulb for something more energy-efficient. For example, on Day One, people are encouraged to help Heal the Gulf by supporting the RESTORE Act which would ensure that 80 percent of the penalty money resulting from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill goes to restoration projects on the Gulf Coast.
As participants take action each day, the oil slick recedes from Audubon's website, revealing a healthy coastline.
"Oil & Birds Don't Mix" is the second innovative online campaign from Audubon to expand its reach to new and more diverse audiences. Last fall, the organisation released dozens of virtual birds on over 100 websites in "Birding the Net", an online scavenger hunt designed to bring the excitement of birds and birding to larger audiences in new and unexpected ways -- and nearly 10,000 people participated in the ambitious social media campaign.
The winners are now collecting their prizes; Jessica Harrison of Boston was the first to spot all 34 birds, and as grand prize winner enjoyed a voyage for two to the Galapagos courtesy of Lindblad Expeditions. "I didn't start playing Birding the Net because I know a lot about birds or conservation. I just thought the graphics were phenomenal and it was a cool idea," said Harrison.
While that first social media campaign was devised by the ad agency Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, this time Audubon staff looked internally for innovative ideas for "Oil & Birds Don't Mix. Audubon Director of Constituency Development David Kubrick suggested covering the website with oil as a reminder of the 2010 disaster, with project leads Miriam Johnson, Circulation Manager, and Elaine O'Sullivan, Director of Educational Publishing, bringing in the symbolism of the oil receding to reflect the combined actions of many people.


5-0-3: Meaning of "implicitly converted to a different underlying type"
Rule 5-0-3 says "A cvalue expression shall not be implicitly converted to a different underlying type."
The rationale goes on to say "an expression defined as a cvalue shall not undergo further implicit conversions".
In the expression 's64 = s32 + s32', the addition is a cvalue expression of underlying type int32_t. It is being assigned to an object of type int64_t. The C++ standard says (regarding the assignment operator): "If the left operand is not of class type, the [right] expression is implicitly converted to the cv-unqualified type of the left operand".
Does this "implicit conversion to the type of the left operand" qualify as causing the cvalue expression to be "implicitly converted to a different underlying type"?
operand with the type of lesser integer conversion rank shall be converted to the type of the operand with greater rank". Additionally, MISRA C++ defines "underlying type conversions" and says they are "conceptual replacements for the usual arithmetic conversions". In this case, the "underlying type conversions" say: "... if both operands have integral type, the underlying type of the expression can be found using the following: ... the type of the result is that of the larger type". Whether the "usual arithmetic conversions" or the "underlying type conversions" are used, the result of the addition will be converted to int64_t.
Does the application of the usual arithmetic conversions and the ensuing implicit conversion to the larger type qualify as causing the cvalue expression to be "implicitly converted to a different underlying type"?
In the expression '0L == s32 + s32' (where long is int64_t and 0L is signed char as established here) does the implicit conversion from the promotion of the addition expression to int64_t qualify as causing the cvalue expression to be "implicitly converted to a different underlying type"?
Note that these examples intend to use s32 and 64 to avoid the operands to the addition operator undergoing sub-int promotion, i.e. s32 is 32-bit int and s64 is 64-bit long.

Ein Conductus ist ein Begleitgesang im Discantus-Satz, der neben Organum und Motette zu den wichtigsten Musikgattungen der Musik der Ars Antiqua zählte. Mit einem Conductus wurden Auftritte von handelnden Personen begleitet, zum Beispiel das Herein- oder Herausschreiten geistlicher Würdenträger einer Kirche.

Der Conductus entstand bereits während der St.-Martial-Schule (wo er als versus bezeichnet wurde). Anders als andere Gattungen jener Zeit existierte der Conductus nach der Notre-Dame-Schule als solcher nicht weiter, sondern ging in anderen Musikgattungen auf. Lediglich als Stilmerkmal wurde die Bezeichnung fortgeführt.

Die Texte mit sowohl geistlichem als auch weltlichem Inhalt beruhten auf lateinischen Vorlagen mit ernstem und feierlichen Charakter. Sie hatten die Form mehrstrophiger Gedichte, deren Aufbau bestimmend für die Komposition war.  Der Gesang war ein- oder mehrstimmig, allerdings überwog die Zweistimmigkeit. Meist lag dem Gesang ein Tenor zugrunde, die Stimme ist zumeist syllabisch, konnte am Strophenende aber auch melismatisch sein.

Das Wort leitet sich von den lateinischen Worten Con (von lat. cum, mit) und ductus (von ducere, führen oder leiten, Partizip geführt) ab. Mitgeführt ist die wortbezogene Übersetzung: die Musik begleitet die sie beauftragt habende (und von ihr geehrt werden sollende) Person.

Toyota announced a massive restructuring of its vehicle manufacturing strategy today as part of the company's switch to a new modular development platform.
The expectation is that the process overhaul will reduce the resources necessary for new models by 20% and bring a staggering 40% savings in the cost of new factories.
A new generation of engines will be up to 25 percent more fuel efficient than those in today's Toyota vehicles while generating 15 percent more power, the company added. The company's next-generation hybrid drivetrain, to debut on the redesigned Prius as early as year-end, will deliver a 15 percent boost in fuel economy.
Toyota executive vice president R&D Mitsuhisa] Kato, in an update on the plans, said the first cars based on the Toyota New Global Architecture, or TNGA, will be C-segment, front-wheel-drive models debuting later this year. The family of cars includes the Prius hybrid, Corolla and Lexus CT.
Kato said savings in time and money will be plowed back into new technologies, better manufacturing processes, slicker designs and more attention to detail and quality.

Feb 23 decision on Anwar's appeal against striking out of suit on sodomy conviction
By Editor , in Crime Local on November 5, 2021 .
Kuala Lumpur, Nov 5 — The Court of Appeal in Putrajaya today set Feb 23 next year to decide on Anwar Ibrahim's appeal against a High Court's decision striking out his originating summons relating to his sodomy conviction against former aide Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan.
A three-member panel comprising judges Lee Swee Seng, Abu Bakar Jais, and Supang Lian fixed the date after hearing submissions from Anwar's counsel Gopal Sri Ram, senior federal counsel Suzana Atan who appeared for the government, and lawyer Harvinderjit Singh, representing lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, as the intervenor, in the virtual appeal proceedings today.
Anwar is appealing against the Kuala Lumpur High Court's decision on Nov 8, 2017, allowing the government's application to strike out his originating summons after ruling that the case was groundless and without any supporting evidence.
Anwar, in his originating summons filed on June 9, 2017, against the government, claimed that he did not receive a fair trial in the appeal against his sodomy conviction.
The Port Dickson MP is seeking a declaration that his conviction by the Court of Appeal on March 7, 2014, was ultra vires the Federal Constitution and therefore null and void.
He is also seeking an order that the decision by the Federal Court in upholding the Court of Appeal's decision was ultra vires and therefore, null and void.
In his affidavit, Anwar alleged that Shafee had received RM9.5 million from former prime minister Najib Razak to lead the prosecution team in the appeal over his sodomy conviction.
Anwar's conviction and sentence of five years' jail for sodomizing Saiful was upheld by the Federal Court. Anwar, however, was given a full pardon by the king on May 16, 2018.
Earlier, Sri Ram submitted that the case should be remitted to the High Court so that the veracity of the RM9.5 million payment purportedly made to Shafee to conduct the prosecution in the sodomy appeal could be tested.
"We are just saying, give us an opportunity to test the veracity of this payment," he said, adding that Shafee needed to be cross-examined relating to the RM9.5 million payment.
Sri Ram also said Anwar had not received a fair trial following Shafee's failure to disclose the payment.
"The payment was made by then prime minister Najib Razak who had an interest in the outcome of Anwar's sodomy case," he said.
Meanwhile, Suzana submitted that Anwar had been given a fair trial in the High Court which resulted in an acquittal on the preferred charge.
"Based on the evidence presented before the High Court, the Court of Appeal had reserved the findings of the High Court leading the criminal conviction.
"This criminal conviction was affirmed by the Federal Court. As such, this application which is to nullify the criminal conviction is a collateral attack on the judgments of the Court of Appeal and the Federal Court and this court has no jurisdiction to deal with the same," she said.
