National Interlinking of Rivers Authority (NIRA)
What to study?
For Prelims: NIRA- key objectives and functions, important ILRs.
For Mains: Need for and significance of ILR projects, concerns associated.
Context: The Central government is working on the establishment of an exclusive body to implement projects for linking rivers- To be called the National Interlinking of Rivers Authority (NIRA).
Functions of NIRA:
It is expected to take up both inter-State and intra-State projects.
It will also make arrangements for generating funds, internally and externally.
About National River Linking Project (NRLP):
The NRLP formally known as the National Perspective Plan, envisages the transfer of water from water 'surplus' basins where there is flooding to water 'deficit' basins where there is drought/scarcity, through inter-basin water transfer projects.
Significance: It is designed to ease water shortages in western and southern India while mitigating the impacts of recurrent floods in the eastern parts of the Ganga basin.
ILR Projects in India:
As of now, six ILR projects — the Ken-Betwa, Damanganga- Pinjal, Par-Tapi-Narmada, Manas-Sankosh-Teesta-Ganga, Mahanadi-Godavari and Godavari-Cauvery (Grand Anicut) — have been under examination of the authorities.
With regard to the peninsular rivers, the Centre has chosen to focus on the Godavari-Cauvery link than the earlier proposal to link the Mahanadi-Godavari-Krishna-Pennar-Cauvery rivers.
Issues and Concerns:
Interlinking of rivers is a very expensive proposal. It will adversely affect land, forests, biodiversity, rivers and the livelihood of millions of people.
Interlinking of rivers will lead to destruction of forests, wetlands and local water bodies, which are major groundwater recharge mechanisms.
It causes massive displacement of people. Huge burden on the government to deal with the issue of rehabilitation of displaced people.
Due to interlinking of rivers, there will be decrease in the amount of fresh water entering seas and this will cause a serious threat to the marine life.
Important ILR projects in India and geographical locations.
Various National Parks and Tiger Reserves mentioned in this regard.
National Perspective Plan – Key provisions and Mandate
Which Ministry is Responsible?
Difference between Surplus Basin and Deficit Basin; Definition of River Basin itself
Important Wetlands that are in the basins of above mentioned rivers
Interlinking of rivers may address the issue of paucity of water but poses a serious threat to the indigenous ecological diversity of the said rivers. Comment.
Sukhna Lake is a living entity
For Prelims: Legal entity- meaning, implications and previous examples, Sukhna Lake.
For Mains: Significance of this move and need for such protection.
Context: The Punjab and Haryana high court has declared Sukhna Lake a "living entity" or "legal person" with rights, duties and liabilities of a living person.
It also declared all citizens of Chandigarh as loco parentis (in the place of a parent) to save the lake from extinction.
The order was passed in a 2009 suo motu petition initiated amid depleting water level in the lake.
What the order says?
Sukhna Lake will now be a legal entity for its survival, preservation and conservation.
The Chandigarh administration has been directed to declare it a wetland within a period of three months.
All structures in Sukhna's catchment area (which was demarcated by the Survey of India in 2004) should be demolished, and affected owners whose building plans have been approved should be relocated in the vicinity of Chandigarh and they should be compensated with ₹25 lakh each.
Chandigarh should ensure that the average capacity of the lake is increased by at least about 100-150 hectare by one-time large scale desilting.
Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh have also been told to lower the storage capacity of the check dams to ensure regular flow of water into the lake.
Chandigarh will have to ensure that there is no seepage losses.
The aquatic weeds are ordered to be removed within a period of six months.
Polluter pays principle:
Invoking the 'polluter pays' principle of environmental law, the Court said in its order: "The States should have taken precautionary measures to save the catchment of Sukhna lake. It is the duty of the States of Punjab and Haryana to restore the catchment area. The State government has also failed to take precautionary measures to save the catchment area. The damage caused to the catchment area is enormous."
What is legal entity?
A legal entity means entity which acts like a natural person but only through a designated person, whose acts are processed within the ambit of law.
About Sukhna lake:
The man-made Sukhna Lake was built in 1958 by Le Corbusier, the architect of Chandigarh. Located in the foothills of the Shivalik Hills, it was designed to collect runoff water from the Hills. The Lake, which is in the process of being officially notified as a wetland, also has a nearby wildlife sanctuary that is home to sambar, pangolin, wild boars, red jungle fowl, cobras and other species.
In 2018, a bench presided over by justice Sharma had accorded the status of "legal person or entity" to animals in Haryana. In Uttarakhand high court, justice Sharma was part of a bench in 2017, which declared the Ganga and Yamuna as living entities, a verdict that was later stayed by the Supreme Court. In June 2019, the Punjab and Haryana High Court had ruled that all animals, birds and aquatic life in Haryana would be accorded the status of legal persons or entities.

Foreigners being served 'Leave India' notices: How does Indian law define 'anti-govt' activities for them?
For Prelims: Provisions regulating foreigners' stay in India.
For Mains: How does Indian law define 'anti-govt' activities for them?
Context: Five foreigners had have asked to leave India for violating visa norms by participating in anti-CAA protests.
How does Indian law define 'anti-govt' activities for them?
According to visa guidelines laid out by the MHA, foreign nationals shall be required to strictly adhere to the purpose of visit declared while submitting the visa application. However, a foreign national (other than a Pakistani national) coming to India on any type of visa will be allowed to avail activities permitted under tourist visa. However, there are no provisions specified under "anti-government" activities subhead. The absence of any such provision in visa laws or Foreigner's Act makes it necessary for the government to define "anti-government" activities under a statute.
What do 'anti-government' activities mean for an Indian national?
According to the lawyers, "anti-government" activities are those which are listed as punishable under Section 124A (sedition) of the Indian Penal Code. Section 124A IPC states: "Whoever, by words, either spoken or written, or by signs, or by visible representation, or otherwise, brings or attempts to bring into hatred or contempt, or excites or attempts to excite disaffection towards, the Government established by law in India, shall be punished with imprisonment for life, to which a fine may be added; or, with imprisonment which may extend to three years, to which a fine may be added; or, with fine."
Does a foreigner on Indian visa have a right to protest?
Right to protest peacefully is enshrined under Article 19(1)(a) of Indian Constitution which guarantees the freedom of speech and expression. Article 19(1)(b) guarantees the citizens of the country the right to assemble peacefully and without arms. However , this fundamental right is available only to the citizens of India and not to the aliens. Hence, a foreigner on Indian Visa has not right to protest.
Can a foreigner be asked to leave India without specifying the act committed by him or her amounting to the order?
The government does not have unfettered powers to impose such an order without furnishing reasons. This was clarified by the Delhi High Court in a 2019 case, where a Pakistani national was served a leave India notice without specifying the reason.
Observations & Opinions made by the legal Experts :
Despite fundamental rights being applicable only to the citizens of the country, with respect to Article 21, they can also be extended to foreigners.
So, the government needs to list out the acts which it considers as anti-government before asking any foreigner to leave.
Insta link:
a) Types of Visas
b) Right to Protest and similar rights – their constitutional status
c) Legal and Constitutional differences – Indian Citizens vs Foreign citizens
d) Alien vs Enemy Alien concept (as per the Constitution of India)
e) Visa Guidelines – why MHA? why not External Affairs ministry? Similar guidelines and respective ministries
How does Indian law define 'anti-govt' activities for foreigners? What are the constitutional rights enjoyed by foreigners in India? Discuss.
Topics Covered: Welfare schemes for vulnerable sections of the population by the Centre and States and the performance of these schemes; mechanisms, laws, institutions and bodies constituted for the protection and betterment of these vulnerable sections.
Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana (PMBJP)
For Prelims: Features of PMBJP and Janaushadhi Suvidha.
For Mains: Health facilities for the underprivileged- need and efforts by the government, generic medicines and their increasing popularity worldwide.
Context: Janaushadhi week is being celebrated across the country from 1st March to 7th March 2020.
About PMBJP:
'Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana' is a campaign launched by the Department of Pharmaceuticals, Govt. Of India, to provide quality medicines at affordable prices to the masses through special kendra's known as Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Jan Aushadhi Kendra.
Bureau of Pharma PSUs of India (BPPI) is the implementing agency of PMBJP. BPPI (Bureau of Pharma Public Sector Undertakings of India) has been established under the Department of Pharmaceuticals, Govt. of India, with the support of all the CPSUs.
SALIENT FEATURES OF THE SCHEME:
Ensure access to quality medicines.
Extend coverage of quality generic medicines so as to reduce the out of pocket expenditure on medicines and thereby redefine the unit cost of treatment per person.
Create awareness about generic medicines through education and publicity so that quality is not synonymous with only high price.
A public programme involving Government, PSUs, Private Sector, NGO, Societies, Co-operative Bodies and other Institutions.
Create demand for generic medicines by improving access to better healthcare through low treatment cost and easy availability wherever needed in all therapeutic categories.
What is a generic medicine?
There is no definition of generic or branded medicines under the Drugs & Cosmetics Act, 1940 and Rules, 1945 made thereunder. However, generic medicines are generally those which contain same amount of same active ingredient(s) in same dosage form and are intended to be administered by the same route of administration as that of branded medicine.
The price of an unbranded generic version of a medicine is generally lower than the price of a corresponding branded medicine because in case of generic version, the pharmaceutical company does not have to spend money on promotion of its brand.
How are they regulated in India?
Drugs manufactured in the country, irrespective of whether they are generic or branded, are required to comply with the same standards as prescribed in the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 and Rules, 1945 made thereunder for their quality.
Regulation of generic medicines.

Topics Covered: Government policies and interventions for development in various sectors and issues arising out of their design and implementation.
Govt. imposes curbs on drug exports
For Prelims: What are APIs, drugs on which curbs have been imposed.
For Mains: Implications and concerns over these measures.
Context: India has restricted the export of common medicines such as paracetamol and 25 other pharmaceutical ingredients and drugs made from them, as it looked to prevent shortages amid concerns of the COVID-19 outbreak turning into a pandemic.
Drugs whose exports is restricted:
Besides over-the-counter painkiller and fever reducer paracetamol, drugs restricted for exports included common antibiotics metronidazole, those used to treat bacterial and other infections, as well as vitamin B1 and B12 ingredients.
In February, the Department of Pharmaceuticals asked the DGFT to issue orders restricting the export of 12 active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and formulations in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak.
What's the concern now?
Although India is source of about 20% of the world's generic drug supply, pharmaceutical companies in the country are dependent on China for two-thirds of the chemical components needed to make them. The outbreak of COVID-19 has shut factories in China and impacted supplies, leading to fears of a shortage.
Implications:
This restriction has not gone down well with the exporters. For exporters, it is going to be a problem and will have an impact on reputation too.
What are APIs?
API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) means the active ingredient which is contained in medicine. For example, an active ingredient to relieve pain is included in a painkiller. This is called API. A small amount of the active ingredient has an effect, so only a tiny part of the active ingredient is contained in medicine.
Components of Medications:
All drugs are made up of two core components: the API, which is the central ingredient, and the excipient, the substances other than the drug that helps deliver the medication to your system. Excipients are chemically inactive substances, such as lactose or mineral oil in the pill.
Other ingredients in a medicine?
How imposing curbs on drugs export affect India's image globally. Critically comment.
United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights
For Prelims: About CAA and OCHCR.
For Mains: Implications of CAA, international concerns and ways to address them.
Context: The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights "intends to file" an Intervention Application as amicus curiae (third party) in the Supreme Court of India, seeking to intervene in Writ Petition in 'Deb Mukharji & Ors vs Union of India & Ors' case which relates to a challenge to the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), 2019.
How can a UN body seek intervention in a case involving a domestic Indian law?
The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (UN Human Rights) is the leading UN entity on human rights. It is mandated to, Inter alia protect and promote all human rights and to conduct necessary advocacy in that regard, established pursuant to the United Nations General Assembly resolution 48/141. It also has to promote adherence to international human rights law and, with this purpose in mind, to support domestic courts, with their constitutional or judicial function, in ensuring the implementation of international legal obligations. This is the basis for seeking intervention.
What exactly does the intervention application say? What are the issues raised wrt to CAA?
The CAA, it says, raises "important human rights issues, including its compatibility in relation to the right to equality before the law and nondiscrimination on nationality grounds under India's human rights obligations".
It questions the reasonableness and objectivity of the criterion of extending the benefits of the CAA to Buddhists, Sikhs, Hindus, Jains, Parsis and Christians from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan alone.
Muslim community is also affected: It points out that while the Indian government has suggested that persons of Muslim faith, regardless of denomination or ethnicity, are protected in Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan, recent reports by UN human rights treaty bodies, special procedures and other mechanisms show that Ahmadi, Hazara and Shia Muslims in these countries warrant protection on the same basis as that provided in the preferential treatment proposed by the CAA.
Significance of this intervention:
The issue of nondiscrimination on nationality grounds falls outside the scope of this intervention, but this in no way implies that there are not human rights concerns in this respect.
Way ahead:
India has the history of openness and has exhibited to persons seeking to find a safer, more dignified life within its borders. But, the CAA's stated purpose is protection of some persons from persecution on religious grounds, simplifying procedures and requirements and facilitating the granting of citizenship to such persons, including migrants in an irregular situation, as well as refugees, from certain neighbouring countries. This selective application of law goes against the very basic right which guarantees equality. In this background, it is necessary to revisit the law, say experts.
In this regard, some central principles of international human rights law can be considered. These include:
Enjoyment of human rights by all migrants and the rights of all migrants (non-citizens) to equality before the law.
The principle of non-refoulement, which prohibits the forcible return of refugees and asylum seekers to a country where they are likely to be persecuted.
All migrants "regardless of their race, ethnicity, religion, nationality and/or immigration status enjoy human rights and are entitled to protection".
International human rights law "requires the granting of citizenship under law to conform to the right of all persons to equality before the law and to be free from prohibited discrimination".
What RPA and constitution say on citizenship?
Grant of citizenship in India.
How can it be revoked?
Provisions related to equality in Constitution.
The Citizenship Amendment Act is being criticised at the international level. Discuss.
Topics Covered: Conservation related issues.
Black carbon levels spike at Himalayan glaciers
For Prelims: Key findings of the study, Black Carbon- generation, effects and concerns.
For Mains: Concerns raised on varying levels of black Carbon in India, measures needed.
Context: Researchers recently conducted a study on varying levels of Black Carbon in Himalayas.
Black carbon concentrations near the Gangotri glacier rose 400 times in summer due to forest fires and stubble burning from agricultural waste, and triggered glacial melt.
The monthly mean concentration of EBC (equivalent black carbon) was found to be minimum in August and maximum in the month of May. The observed seasonal mean concentrations of EBC indicated a pristine glacial source and an absence of EBC sources in the locality.
The concentration varied from a minimum of 0.01μg/cubic metre in winter to 4.62μg/cubic metre during summer. Being a pristine zone far from sources of pollution, the measurements are critical to establishing a baseline for pollution loads and estimating the contribution of various sources to pollution.
What is black Carbon? What are the concerns?
Black carbon results from the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass. BC is produced both naturally and by human activities as a result of the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, biofuels, and biomass. Primary sources include emissions from diesel engines, cook stoves, wood burning and forest fires.
Concerns associated:
The fine particles absorb light and about a million times more energy than carbon dioxide.
It is said to be the second largest contributor to climate change after CO2. But unlike CO2, which can stay in the atmosphere for years together, black carbon is short-lived and remains in the atmosphere only for days to weeks before it descends as rain or snow.
Black carbon absorbs solar energy and warms the atmosphere. When it falls to earth with precipitation, it darkens the surface of snow and ice, reducing their albedo (the reflecting power of a surface), warming the snow, and hastening melting.
India is the second largest emitter of black carbon in the world, with emissions expected to increase dramatically in the coming decades, says an April 2019 study in the journal Atmospheric Research, with the Indo Gangetic plains said to be the largest contributor.
Complete combustion would turn all carbon in the fuel into carbon dioxide (CO2), but combustion is never complete and CO2, carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, and organic carbon and black carbon particles are all formed in the process. The complex mixture of particulate matter resulting from incomplete combustion is often referred to as soot.
Other byproducts of combustion of fossil fuels.
Other contributors to climate change.
Write a note on black Carbon and it's effects on the environment.

Weddings are arguably the most stressful events to plan. Not only are you potentially having to think about how to keep hundreds of guests happy, but you've got the pressure of making sure your day is perfect for you and your partner too. Catering is one of those wedding aspects it's easy to get fretful over. Thankfully, hog roasts provide a really simple solution and give a relaxed feel to your reception party.
For those businesses that want to host a memorable conference or special event, a hog roast provides an unusual and laidback catering option, in place of the typical sandwich buffets your employees and colleagues may have come to expect.
With a whole hog able to feed hundreds of guests, hog roasting is a nice option for local communities and charities holding events where they'd like to make a bit of money with their food. It's hugely affordable and there's not much prep involved in hosting a hog roast with buttered buns and apple sauce- unlike when you have to make hundreds of different sandwiches, cakes and finger foods.
Again, birthday party and anniversary do catering can be a bit predictable. Budget canapes, sandwiches and cold cocktail sausages are an unimaginative choice. A spit roast pig can bring something special, allowing for quite a spectacle – and they taste great too!

Deadline Disruptors: Amazon Studios' Roy Price Comes To Cannes With Momentum Of Five Films Playing The Festival
May 13, 2016 3:51am
Illustration by Bram Vanhaeren
In the short time since Roy Price and Ted Hope turned up at talent agencies, looking to grow past television series and get into the movie business as a way to entice Amazon Prime customers that paid money for free shipping of products, Amazon Studios has quickly emerged as a major player in that in-between space that was once the exclusive domain of distributors like Sony Pictures Classics, Fox Searchlight, Focus Features and The Weinstein Co. It took a while to explain how Amazon would be different from streaming services like Netflix, but the company has been as aggressive a buyer as anyone in Hollywood, with an experienced team that includes Hope, Bob Berney and Scott Foundas. They came to Cannes with five films playing here. The initiative is led by Price, the son of Frank Price, the venerable executive who once ran studios including Universal and Columbia Pictures. Here, Price explains the method behind the aggressive buying spree.
DEADLINE: The initiative to acquire content to stream on Amazon Prime has been dialed up quickly to the point where you dominated the acquisitions space at the Sundance Film Festival and come into Cannes controlling five films showing on the Croisette. Unlike Netflix, whose goal is to buy world rights for its global subscription audience, the Amazon plan is to facilitate a theatrical release before placing it on its streaming service. What makes the Amazon model worth spending big money on these films?
PRICE: We'll be at Cannes with five films, and two parties. The thing is, there are a lot of movies out there that get made. So we're not really solving a problem if we just make 12 random movies. But we think that if we can bring movies to the market that are really worth remembering—that are remarkable and trying to do something new, and that have a special vision—then that's something that will add value to the movie marketplace. It will be great for independent filmmakers and our customers because it will add something meaningful and memorable to the selection of movies that they have.
As we look at the movie opportunity, that's the area where we decided to focus. And when you're focusing on that area, to a large extent you're obviously looking for new ideas, vision and passion. At the end of the day it is largely about filmmakers and creating a great economic platform for filmmakers and a great home for them. So we realized that, and that helped us shape the whole program. It guides our decisions to this day; treating filmmakers almost like a separate group of customers is great for filmmakers and for traditional customers, if we can put together an interesting and distinctive lineup of movies that are special and that people value.
DEADLINE: When Amazon acquired Manchester By The Sea for $10 million, it sent a signal you were willing to step up and make a real financial commitment to a prestige film. The Kenneth Lonergan-directed picture has an awards-bait cast with Casey Affleck, Michelle Williams and Kyle Chandler, and it could easily have gone to the usual suspects that have dominated past festivals. Why does this film serve the Amazon model?
PRICE: It is the kind of movie that will be there when, at the end of the year, you think of the movies you saw and will remember and value. That's what I predict. When Casey Affleck and Michelle Williams are together in that movie, it is very moving and honest. Kenny Lonergan is great and everybody is at the top of their game. I think it's going to be one of those movies people care about and you'll tell others to see, and then question your friendship if they don't also like it. That was exactly the kind of movie we had in mind and as soon as we saw it, it was a pretty easy decision for us. It was exactly what we wanted to do.
DEADLINE: Had Netflix bought it, theatrical release would not have been the priority. Your model is different. Can you explain how? Does Amazon insinuate itself into the run of the film right after that, offering your customers something they wouldn't otherwise have access to?
PRICE: Amazon will get the movie and then we find a distributor, and together with Bob Berney's team, we put together the marketing and distribution plan. For Manchester or Café Society, they're pretty traditional theatrical distribution plans, except instead of maybe HBO or Showtime for what they call the Pay One window, that will be Amazon.
But otherwise it should be the same; a robust release that supports as much theatrical as the movie will carry. Having the film be a theatrical success is good for the filmmakers, and it's desired by them. I think it's good for the customers because they get an opportunity to see it in theaters today, and the film is treated like a real film. It feels like a real movie. At the end of the day, it kind of works for everybody that we support a theatrical release. So really, as you observe these films going in the market and going between windows, it won't be unfamiliar to you. It's just that instead of the normal Pay One carrier, it will be on Amazon.
DEADLINE: You are investing serious money in these films. That Pay One slot justifies these spends for you? Amazon just announced it will offer a pay subscription service, so you've got to feed that.
PRICE: Yes, exactly. Prime Video is available on a freestanding basis and is also included in your Prime subscription if you have that. It will carry the movies exclusively in subscription, which is the kind of deal you might have with HBO. The idea is that if we can have a selection of films in that program that achieve the goal of being memorable and visionary, and lasting and exciting, then I think customers will feel there's a dimension of the service that they perceive and really appreciate. That's where we are going. We'll stay in our lane; almost all the movies we're doing are staying in one particular zone. We don't have French food, and Italian and a little sushi; we just do our particular thing.
DEADLINE: Does your model support something like Bright, the Will Smith film that Netflix committed to $90 million for negative costs and estimating and buying out the backend?
PRICE: We'll look at everything and try to be creative. We would not have to buy out the backend; we have a pretty normal looking waterfall, the advantage of which gives the filmmaker the chance for more of an upside in success.
DEADLINE: You were welcomed to CinemaCon by exhibitors, unlike Netflix. As you progress, are you OK keeping the 90-day window the chains require to release films, or would Amazon look to shrink those windows eventually?
PRICE: The answer is, yes, we're OK with that. We want to work with exhibition and have it be a win-win for everybody. We think that's a fair trade-off that works with our model. The principle of the whole thing is let's do what's great for our customers, and if we get the film widely distributed so that a lot of customers have the opportunity to see it in the movie theater then that's great. There may be changes from time to time where we're not really doing that, on a smaller picture that may come out on 30 screens. In that case, probably the best thing from a customer point of view and even for the filmmaker, in terms of the economic model, might be to have a shorter window. But that would be the exception and not the rule.
DEADLINE: Might your future plans involve buying into the theater space?
PRICE: We're focused on making great movies and bringing those to theaters at this point.
DEADLINE: Your program so far has emphasized buying completed films. How important will be building projects from the ground up?
PRICE: Well, we're definitely developing IP and scripts. So we're definitely developing from zero as we also acquire finished films, and everything in between. Our only priority is to get the best, most interesting, most creative films. We can be open-minded about everything else.
DEADLINE: How big an annual commitment to product do you foresee?
PRICE: We'll see, because I do want to do all the fantastic movies we're excited about, and none of the other movies. We'll let that drive the volume, but I expect that to be north of 10, for sure.
DEADLINE: What does it mean for this upstart initiative that you've got five showing at Cannes?
PRICE: It's a very exciting validation of the terrific start we've gotten off to. Yes, technically we're new to movies as a company, but the team is very experienced and that winds up being the most important thing. Ted Hope, Bob Berney, Scott Foundas; that's a lot of experience and success and people who knew what they were doing from day one. They were able to hit the ground running. Most of the fast start is a credit to the team.

Seafront pitch and putt course may be lost in £4.5m lottery deal but councillors push ahead
A new path across the golf course would link medieval Torre Abbey to the seafront
Chris BakerLocal Democracy Reporter

One of the region's most historic buildings could be rescued with £4.5m lottery money but the new plan could mean the end of a popular seaside pitch-and-putt course.
Torre Abbey mansion on Torquay seafront has water leaking into some of the buildings and Torbay Council needs to apply for lottery funding before the time runs out in June.
In addition to the hoped-for £4.5m, the council would spend £1.15m of its own money on the third phase of a long-running restoration of the historic but loss-making abbey complex. The two earlier phases have already cost £11m.
But part of the funding package might include a new path from the seafront across the much-loved pitch-and-putt course. However those worries did not stop councillors voting to apply for funding.
A Liberal Democrat attempt to rule out the proposed path was defeated. Instead, Torbay councillors agreed to ask for £4.5 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), with a promise of further investigations on the proposed path between the abbey and seafront.
Man wanted in connection with sex assault
Lib Dem Steve Darling said: "If we don't make a clear statement now that we wish to see the pitch-and-putt protected, in a few months time we might find that it is actually an integral part and it cannot be removed."
His fears were echoed by fellow Lib Dem Nick Pentney, who said: "I don't want to be in a situation where we sleepwalk into losing this much-loved facility."
Torbay Council is desperate to apply for the money before mid-June, when changed rules mean HLF funding will be much harder to obtain.

Dean Lowe caged for at least 28 years for brutal murder of his girlfriend
Conservative Richard Haddock said: "If we miss that window we are doomed on that building, the council cannot afford to miss that money."
Fellow Tory Alan Tyerman, whose amendment calling for further investigations of the proposed path was backed by councillors, said he had "significant concerns" about the impact of the proposals on the pitch-and-putt course.
He said medieval abbeys were places where work went on all around them, adding: "I know they wouldn't have had a pitch-and-putt in medieval times but things move on, and that is an activity people like to take part in today."
On fears applying for HLF funds meant the pitch-and-putt would have to go, he said: "We have in a sense got the ability to say no at a later stage, if it has got anything we don't want."
Torre Abbey is a scheduled ancient monument, with two Grade-1 and four Grade-2 listed buildings, and a formal garden. Operating the historic abbey complex currently loses the council about £160,000 a year.
Elected mayor Gordon Oliver said rain had been getting into some of the buildings for at least two years, they were in need of urgent repairs, and the council could be prosecuted if it allowed deterioration to continue.
Steam railway fined £40,000 after boy almost fell through floor
He said he sympathised with the Lib Dems but it would be wrong to miss the chance to win HLF funds.
He added: "It is important we win the bid, then negotiate what is the best way forward for everybody. We are going to have to find £1.15 million, my worry is that if we get this wrong we will have to find £4.5 million."
Councillors will make a final decision on the proposed path, and the future of the pitch-and-putt, after the outcome of the HLF bid is known.

When Ecuadorian electronic music producer Nicola Cruz first got started making music, he produced straight-ahead techno. But then, he started traveling around Ecuador, visiting dusty old record stores and finding hidden gems from the history of Ecuadorian folkloric music. Listening to these recordings completely changed his approach to composition.
Now, Cruz produces tracks that draw on both Andean folk and minimalist electronic textures, with hints of ambient field recordings he makes in his travels around the country. It's a sound that's been turning heads—his debut album Prender el Alma (ZZK Records) has established him as a major figure in a new generation of talented Ecuadorian musicians have been drawing attention to the Andean nation recently.


The federal government seeks to help youth with disabilities—particularly those receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI)—achieve better job outcomes as they become adults. The goal is to reduce their dependency on benefits by helping them find employment and earn higher wages. But because disabilities and other characteristics of these youth present significant employment barriers, strategies to address these concerns have to be thoughtful and comprehensive. The strategies must also have a rigorous evidence base to demonstrate their success. To achieve this, several agencies have contracted Mathematica to examine how transition services are being used for youth with disabilities and identify which services show the most promise based on the evidence. Mathematica recently released three reports that shed light on this topic.
The evaluation of the Youth Transition Demonstration provides the most comprehensive information to date about promising strategies to improve the employment outcomes of youth SSI recipients. It also points to the potential for employment services to influence outcomes for this population.
Random assignment evaluations of federal demonstrations for people receiving adult SSI and Social Security Disability Insurance show the positive impacts of case management, health plans, supported employment, work incentives, and other supports.
Various strategies targeted to youth and young adults with disabilities show consistent promising evidence on employment outcomes, though much of this evidence is based primarily on descriptive or nonexperimental studies. A larger number have involved transition programs that provide participants with employment services coupled with other supports.
The second report, "State Vocational Rehabilitation Agencies' Early Implementation Experiences with Pre-Employment Transition Services," presents state implementation experiences with a new mandate from the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. The mandate requires state vocational rehabilitation agencies to make pre-employment transition services available to all students with disabilities, not just youth clients who qualify for vocational rehabilitation services. The report presents examples of partnerships, service delivery, and staffing used to provide these services. The findings confirm that agencies have faced challenges in implementing the new pre-employment transition services, but they have made considerable progress in developing innovative strategies to expand the services they offer and the populations they serve.
In the third report, "The Relationship Between Youth Services and Adult Outcomes Among Former Child SSI Recipients," Mathematica found positive evidence of the long-term association of some types of services used by youth receiving SSI. The analysis examined a group of youth ages 14 to 17, some of whom received vocational rehabilitation, vocational training, or special education, and tracked how they were doing 13 years later. The findings indicate that vocational rehabilitation services were associated with improved long-term employment and economic independence, though confounding factors might contribute to the observed relationship.
Each of these reports are part of larger projects that seek to investigate effective transition practices for youth with disabilities. Understanding the existing evidence base and current practices will enable program administrators and policymakers to better assist youth achieve self-sufficiency as they become adults.

The rate at which the photic stimulation was conducted ranged between 0.5 Hz and 50 Hz.

Q: Kotlin null checks during nullable WeakHashMap iteration // I know activity is not ideal here due to lack of equality guaranty; please ignore this part
private val mActivities: WeakHashMap<Activity, Int> = WeakHashMap()
....
mActivities.put(null, null)
mActivities.filter { (backStackEntry: Activity?) ->
    // Issue: this does not show any errors but fails at runtime
    Logger.warn("$TAG - Activity ${backStackEntry.localClassName}")
    val entry: Activity? = backStackEntry
    // Works as expected: this does show the error as expected
    Logger.warn("$TAG - Activity ${entry.localClassName}")
}

Kotlin null safety checks are not working when I try to iterate through WeakHashMap which can contain null values. Examples listed above. Any ideas as to why this is happening will be much appreciated. Thanks!
Clarification
${backStackEntry?.localClassName} works, but my concern is around why Android Studio or build logic is not showing a static check error or compile error for ${backStackEntry.localClassName}. But with ${entry.localClassName}, Android Studio flags this as an error.

A: WeakHashMap<Activity, Int> type doesn't provide information about its content nullability.
Consider replacing private val mActivities: WeakHashMap<Activity, Int> = WeakHashMap() with private val mActivities: MutableMap<Activity?, Int?> = WeakHashMap().
Since you explicitly specify backStackEntry nullability and the compiler still doesn't flag backStackEntry dereferencing as an error, it must be a bug, and you should report it on youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/KT.

#NewRelease — Brandon – Tudor Knight, by Tony Riches #HistoricalFiction #Tudors @tonyriches
Brandon – Tudor Knight
By Tony Riches
From the author of the international bestselling Tudor Trilogy comes a true story of adventure, courtly love and chivalric loyalty.
Handsome, charismatic and a champion jouster, Sir Charles Brandon is the epitome of a Tudor Knight. A favourite of King Henry VIII, Brandon has a secret. He has fallen in love with Henry's sister, Mary Tudor, the beautiful widowed Queen of France, and risks everything to marry her without the King's consent.
Brandon becomes Duke of Suffolk, but his loyalty is tested fighting Henry's wars in France. Mary's public support for Queen Catherine of Aragon brings Brandon into dangerous conflict with the ambitious Boleyn family and the king's new right-hand man, Thomas Cromwell.
Torn between duty to his family and loyalty to the king, Brandon faces an impossible decision: can he accept Anne Boleyn as his new queen?

It's great to discover a story about one of the lesser well-known characters of Henry VIII's court. This is definitely going on my TBR list, Tony!

Looking for ways to get to chennai with one stop,picked BA as it gave the best fares 3 months out.Later 30 days before departure date, AI and Qatar nearly matched the fares.This is a problem as we can't wait so late to make final bookings.I hope they change.Compared to Emirates,seats,service and,lounge@ LHR worse than DXB.
I have tried AI,EK and EY and EK is much better.have not tried Qatar so hopefully next time.
Buisness class full between MAA and LHR.
lot of us travelling as many were 60+ like me.therefore not all on business,just visiting.

This trio of pavilions was designed by the American architectural firm Walker Warner Architects, and it is located within the Quintessa Estate Winery, a gorgeous wine property located in Rutherford, California, USA. The estate covers an area of 280 acres, or 113 hectares, of stunning vineyards situated in the heart of Napa Valley.
San Francisco-based Walker Warner Architects were actually involved in the original design of the Quintessa Estate Winery, which was completed in 2003, and so they were the obvious choice when the owners decided to add a trio of pavilions to the existing property. These new structures, covering an area 250 square feet, or 23 square meters, provides an immersive experience for wine-tasting guests, as it has retractable glass walls that allow them to experience the outdoors in any possible weather.
The architects' intent, exercising the clients' wishes, was to have these three new pavilions embody the fusion between architecture and nature, while keeping the continuity with the existing buildings of the estate. Indeed, the interior surfaces are mostly clad in rich wood, recalling the vineyard that populates the land visible from the pavilions, while all furniture is characterized by its rectilinear quality, blending these two concepts together beautifully.

Q: LocalStorage includes an empty array on every render I'm trying to update my localStorage with new items that are added to my shopping cart. However, every time an item is added, an empty array is added before it (see screenshot). Why is this?
I'm thinking I need to add a ternary operator to return an empty array if there are no existing items in the cart and to return the current items in the cart if there are items currently in localStorage. Is this correct, or do I have a syntax error?
Screenshot:

Code in question:
useEffect(() => {
  const newData = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('product')) || [];
  newData.push(cart);
  localStorage.setItem('product', JSON.stringify(newData));
}, [cart])

Full code:
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import './../App.css';
import * as ReactBootStrap from 'react-bootstrap';

function Cart(props) {

    const [cart, setCart] = useState([]);
    const [quantity, setQuantity] = useState([]);
    const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false);

  useEffect(async () => {
  fetchItems();
}, [])

const itemId = props.match.params.id;
const itemQuantity = parseInt(props.match.params.qty, 10);
const fetchItems = async () => {
  const data = await fetch('https://fakestoreapi.com/products/' + itemId);
  const items = await data.json();
  setCart(items)
  setQuantity(itemQuantity)
  setLoading(true)
}

function price(qty){
  const newPrice = qty * cart.price;
  return newPrice.toFixed(2)
}

useEffect(() => {
  const newData = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('product')) || [];
  newData.push(cart);
  localStorage.setItem('product', JSON.stringify(newData));
}, [cart])

    return (

        {loading ? (

{cart.title}

              <button className="btn minus-btn" type="button"
                onClick={quantity > 1 ? () => setQuantity(quantity - 1) : null}>-</button>
              <input type="text" id="quantity" placeholder={quantity}/>
              <button className="btn plus-btn" type="button"
                onClick={() => setQuantity(quantity + 1)}>+</button>

${price(quantity)}

        ) : (<ReactBootStrap.Spinner className="spinner" animation="border" />)}

    );
}

export default Cart;

A: You are fetching the initial cart content asynchronously, but are setting product to newData right away, i.e., before cart had any content, which means that newData only contains [].
Perhaps just replace newData.push(cart); with cart.length > 0 && newData.push(cart);? Or rethink your logic. Not sure what you want product to contain.


Jack Hunt students have made a real difference to the lives of a small primary school in Kenya. The Bethany School in Watamu, which consists of four classrooms and a nursery, have just received what is hopefully the first shipment of toys, book and clothes and are absolutely delighted.
Year 9 students at Jack Hunt School made toys, puzzles and games as part of their Year 9 Product Design Course and collected unwanted books and clothing which was shipped to Kenya in boxes kindly donated by Armadillo Self Storage. Adrian Hargreaves, Design and Technology Teacher, who has formed the link with the school after visiting several times said, "We were also able to send over books donated by the public who had read an earlier article in the Peterborough Evening Telegraph in February. I would like to thank everyone who helped, especially Dogsthorpe Primary School, Braybrook Primary School and Newark Hill Primary School. They have been very generous and some of the equipment has already been sent over and is being used by the children.
James Katana from Bethany Junior School said, "Thank you very much for the books, toys and puzzles. The students are enjoying reading the books and playing with the toys which will improve their learning. The school board, teachers, parents and the students are very happy and thankful for all the help and contributions".
Adrian has now decided to literally go the extra mile with the support of Jack Hunt School and is planning to take two vehicles to Watamu, on the east coast of Africa next Summer 2012 to hand deliver text books, toys and unwanted computers. Bethany Junior Academy and Watamu SDA Junior School take children from 1½ to 14 years of age and Adrian is contacting schools in Peterborough and local businesses who may be willing to contribute or sponsor this expedition. He intends to leave the vehicles in Africa and donate one to a local hospital and the other to one of the schools which will give more children the opportunity to attend school who may live too far to walk.
