Xaarlin: La clima esta loca!
Chicago has some of the craziest weather I've seen.
Florida weather is fairly predictable.
Nor Cal weather was pretty much the same all the time.
Here in Chicago it is crazy.
Monday I ran 6 miles outside. It was sunny and 80 something out. I lost 1.5 lbs on the run from sweating so much. It was beautiful outside.
Tuesday the temps started in the 60's and by the time I went home it was in the low 40's and very very windy.
Wednesday we are experiencing rainy, windy, lightning, tornado watch conditions. It is currently 49 degrees.
I need to run tonight and will definitely be taking my run indoors because I don't want to get zapped by the lightning.
I've decided not to look at the weather forecast for Saturday yet (soldier field 10 mile). I don't want to stress myself out about what to expect just yet because I know the forecast can change dramatically between now and Saturday morning.
Do you have crazy unpredictable weather where you live?
its not crazy here in Houston, TX. its either so hot you want to die, or so hot you can deal with it and not want to die.
Oh yeah, the weather has been real weird in Colorado this year. I don't like it! I try to avoid weather forecasts but a co-worker loves to keep me informed. Blah!
The weather in Montana has been crazy also. We've had the longest prolonged winter and now cool wet spring. Rain rain rain. We've nearly had a year's worth of rain this month. NUTS, water everywhere flooding, bridges and roads washed away!
This weather is freaky lately, but your photos are beautiful.
I'm hoping for a lovely Saturday morning for the SF 10. Best of luck to you!!!
Ummm code grey in the hospital...that's code for TORNADO. We had to move all the patients out of their rooms, away from the windows, to the hallways. Then all the residents went to the workroom to see out the window to see the huge storm from the 7th floor. We're a smart bunch. Then I got a shower on the way home from work. By shower, I mean I was as wet as I get in the shower by the time I got to my car. Crap.
I hate unpredictable weather! I just moved to GA so not sure what the weather overall is like! In Hong Kong where I used to live it was crazy!

Q: how can create mvc entity framework apart price list scheduling I have a new project for apart retail with mvc, c# and entityframework. I am using fullcalendar in my project. Now my problem is;
First i am creating a new event all days. No problem. But some days contain different events. I want to just change time interval for special dates. I have create Fullcalendar Model.
public class FullCalendar
    {
        public int id { get; set; }
        public string title { get; set; }
        public long start { get; set; }
        public long end { get; set; }
        public string url { get; set; }
        public decimal price { get; set; }

    }

for example general date event in my database Rates table ;
id  RateForDate    RateForWeek    RateForMonth    StartDate     EndDate   IsAllDay
1   180,00            150,00    100,00        2013-04-30    2020-12-31  True

I hope I can tell my problem. How can i create algorithim for this problem? ho can create foreach for this problem? thanks for helps. And i am sorry for english.

A: If you want to get the rates for a period of, say, 30 days, you could do:
var startDate = new DateTime(y,m,d);
var rates = new List<FullCalendar>();
for(var i = 0; i < 30; i++)
{
    var date = startDate.AddDays(i);
    rates.Add(GetSpecialRate(date) ?? GetStandardRate(date));
}

where GetSpecialRate and GetStandardRate are two methods by which you get a rate. The main part in both of these methods is
rates.Where(r => r.StartDate >= date && r.EndDate < date)

rates is either the collection of standard rates or the special rates.
Side note: do not use long for DateTime, it's a debugging hell. Convert DateTime to long when it's necessary e.g. for Json serialization.

Aging is a natural process that everyone goes through, and the skin is usually one of the first parts of the body to display signs of it. Wrinkles, lines and a general loss of firmness in the skin around the face are perhaps the most visibly notable signs of aging and appear on every person at one point or another. For these reasons, anti-aging products have become universally popular. Creams and other beauty products remain the most popular products to help fight the signs of aging because of their affordability and effectiveness, and many people prefer to avoid surgical and invasive procedures due to the risk and price point. So I hereby provide Instantly Ageless review (anti wrinkle micro cream).
Instantly Ageless is produced by Jeunesse Global. Jeunesse Instantly Ageless is a micro-cream that can reduce the signs of aging within 2 minutes and can last for up to 6 – 8 hours, without the need for chemical injections. It has even been claimed a great and natural alternative to Botox and with daily use can reduce wrinkles by 30%. Some pretty bold claims to make.
You received a small box of 50 sachets(0.3 mL each) in each box. You can get 2 to 3 applications from each sachet so it will actually last you quite a while.
The micro cream has a slight tint to it and is smooth in texture.
The credit for the effectiveness of this serum goes to the active ingredients. The main ingredient is a peptide called Argireline, which happens to have a striking similarity to how Botox works on the skin. Dr. Oz has spoken about the effectiveness of Argireline on his show.
Facial muscles are relaxed after Instantly Ageless is applied and the skin is soothed and softened in a matter of minutes, which means that any appearance of wrinkles lines and other signs of aging in the skin are improved almost immediately.
The combination of the other active ingredients also has strong anti-aging properties, including helping to improve the elasticity of the skin, as well as reducing the size and appearance of pores, which are other contributing factors to the appearance of aged skin.
HOW TO USE INSTANTLY AGELESS BY JEUNESSE?
As it is not a simple moisturizer or anti-wrinkle cream, Instantly Ageless requires a special application to ensure you get the result you want. Once you get used to applying it and working out what best works for you, it's a great product. You can use it daily or on those special occasions when you want to impress.
Watch this live video demonstration of how Instantly Ageless works.
Apply the cream across your whole forehead, not just on the wrinkle lines.
Gently apply cream under your eye on the dark circles, and also on your laugh lines.
Apply cream as needed on the target areas.
The Instantly Ageless results are impressive when applied correctly. I find it works better on a clean hydrated skin. So ensure you apply it to freshly cleansed skin and apply a water-based moisturizer to hydrate the skin.
Massage the sachet before using the micro cream so the cream is well mixed.
Pinprick the sachet and squeezed out a pea-sized amount to apply to your skin. Less is best. By pin-pricking the sachet, any product left in the sachet will not dry out and go to waste.
Instantly Ageless is water based and water does not mix well with oils. So this product WILL NOT work well with oil based moisturizers or makeup.
You can apply it under and over makeup and I even mix it with my foundation and then apply it.
Another tip is wet the area slightly before applying to ensure it is hydrated. It is the moisture/water in your skin which activates this product.
Stay expressionless after applying the micro cream for at least 2 minutes while you fan-dry the face. The fanning process speeds up the drying time and makes it work better. The longer you stay expressionless the better. You will get a better result.
You will feel a tightening sensation when the cream is drying. This feeling means the product is working. The tightening sensation will stop once the product has dried out.
I, fortunately, don't have a lot of wrinkles or bags under my eyes because I use the Luminesce Skincare Range, however here are some people I have applied Instantly Ageless to and they have loved the results.
100% yes, unless you face a possible allergic reaction to some of the ingredients, which is a very slim possibility. If you get a reaction wash it off immediately and stop using the product. It is as safe as any other popular beauty product available. It should be noted that getting the cream into the eyes can cause irritations and should be washed out immediately.
One sachet effectively only costs US$1.50 ($0.90 members) AUD$1.94 ($1.21 embers).
I think this is well priced considering it how effective it is and how many sachets you get in each box.
I would highly recommend the Jeunesse Instantly Ageless for users who want quick results and that have dark circles and eye bags. This is a product that will reverse the signs of aging on the skin within 2 minutes. It's a temporary solution however if used daily, it can reduce the effect of wrinkles by up to 30%. I hope my product review proves to be useful.
I hope this Jeunesse Instantly Ageless review is helpful.
These results indeed seem instantly. Wrinkles are something both men and women feel like the main sign of getting old, and not many of them like to see that, so it's nice to see they are way to help them with their struggle.
That product looks like a great solution! I would like to try this out!!
Never heard of this brand but sounds like an awesome product after seeing the results! Can't wait to check this out!
Looks and sounds like great product!! I will have to recommend to some of my older friends.
Wow, I need that! It seems to be a quick fixer. I'm always open for new things in cosmetics as long as a knife is not needed.
Wow, what incredible results! I'm not getting any younger, so I need to start on something like this.
Looks like an instant solution to age problem.
I will surely check this out.
I have heard about this last time. I wasn't just sure if it was true but just seeing the images you featured here, it's interesting. I was once contacted by a stockist. I'll try to contact her again.

This study examines survey data from the National Survey of Children's Health to estimate the prevalence of ADHD diagnosis and treatment. The results indicate that, as of 2016, 6.1 million children aged 2-17 years living in the U.S. had been diagnosed with ADHD, which is similar to previous estimates. Almost two thirds were taking medication, slightly less than half had received behavioral treatment in the past year, and nearly one fourth had received neither treatment.

‹ The United States in the 1790s
Nathaniel Macon ›
During the colonial period, North Carolina's legislature was reluctant to designate a fixed seat of government. As a result, legislative sessions were held in various locations throughout the state which required a great deal of travel on the part of the legislators. Numerous attempts were made to establish a capital, but none proved successful. Perhaps the most memorable attempt was put forth by Colonial Governor Arthur Dobbs. In 1758, the North Carolina legislature approved an act to purchase Dobbs' 850-acre plantation (located in what is now northeastern Lenoir County) to establish "George City" in honor of King George II. However, the British government did not approve the legislation and the city was never established.
Starting in 1766, New Bern served as the colony's seat of government, and Tryon Palace was constructed to serve as the Governor's residence. During the Revolution, however, the Palace was too much associated with royal government. Wary of invasion, the state government once again became migratory. In the years between 1715 and 1787, the legislature met at numerous locations throughout North Carolina including Queen Anne's Creek, Edenton, Wilmington, Bath, New Bern, Kinston, Halifax, Smithfield, Hillsboro, Salem, Fayetteville, and Tarboro.
In 1787, the legislature voted that the Constitutional Convention (appointed to discuss the new federal constitution) should decide on the location of North Carolina's state capital. The Constitutional Convention resolved that the capital be within ten miles of Isaac Hunter's tavern in Wake County, and that the State Legislature was responsible for choosing the exact site. No further action was taken on this issue during the sessions from 1788 to 1791, because of opposition from those who claimed Wake County was "the wilderness" and could never develop into a city. In early 1792, advocates of the Wake County site finally garnered enough support within the General Assembly to establish a commission to identify land for the new city. The Assembly appointed another group to oversee the building of a state house for the new capital.
The commissioners gathered at Isaac Hunter's residence in March of 1792, but soon adjourned to the nearby home of State Senator Joel Lane. About ten days later they voted to purchase 1,000 acres of Lane's plantation for £1,378 to serve as the site for the new capital.
William Christmas, another senator and a surveyor by profession, drew the plan for Raleigh. Using a total of 400 acres, Christmas designated the axial center of the city as Union Square. It was composed of six acres and intended as the site of the future State House. The map described the square as "a beautiful eminence which commands a view of the town and fine prospect of the surrounding county." Flanking the corners of the center square were to be four four-acre squares or parks reserved for public purposes. These were named Caswell, Nash, Burke (for the state's first governors) and Moore (in honor of Attorney General Alfred E. Moore). The four main streets were named Halifax, New Bern, Fayetteville, and Hillsborough, judicial districts toward the north, east, south, and west. These streets ran from the four sides of Union Square; the other 17 streets were named for the remaining judicial districts, the points of the compass, the commissioners themselves, and several other prominent citizens, including the former owner of the land. The remaining 276 acres were marked off in one-acre lots to be sold at public auction, with the proceeds used to build the capital and other public buildings.
The name for the new capital was suggested by Governor Martin in honor of Sir Walter Raleigh, who was responsible for sending the first colonists to North Carolina.

PSNI Football Club is an intermediate Northern Irish football club that plays in the NIFL Premier Intermediate League. The club is associated with the Police Service of Northern Ireland, and its home ground is Newforge Lane in Belfast.

History
PSNI FC was founded in 1928 as RUC (Royal Ulster Constabulary) and changed its name in 2002, following the NI police service's name change.

The club joined the Northern Amateur Football League in 1956 and became one of its leading clubs before being elevated to the Irish League B Division in 1975. The club stayed at this level until failing to gain a place in the reorganised and re-branded IFA Championship in 2008.

Although originally only serving members of the Police Service of Northern Ireland could play for the team, that rule no longer exists.

In February, 2019, Will Horwood was appointed as the PSNI FC manager. 6 months later, in early November, 2019, Will decided to appoint 20 year old Rhys Hadden as the assistant manager.

In January, 2020, Glenn Taggart was appointed manager of PSNI FC.

NELIPOT
Central Coast-based indie-rock trio Nelipot first launched onto the scene in 2016 with their debut track and a strong work ethic; playing as many live shows as they could and doing whatever they could do to make fans (including busking on the streets of Terrigal).

$this->function ('abc');

Does leaving space after each string or variable is good coding practice or will it cause any problem any where ?

A: Only to readers. The parser does not care, except inside strings. These will yield different results:
$array = array(3);
echo "$array [0]\n";
echo "$array[0]\n";

Results will look something like this:
Array [0]
3

A: I prefer less white space over spacing things out, yet there doesnt seem to be any errors most of the time. But in my opinion, $this->function('abc'); looks nicer than $this->function ('abc');

A: Good coding practice is correlated with the programming language you are using. Some languages like Ruby or Python might have conflicts with leaving space in between. The syntax might be okay across all languages but I am sure that for Dynamic scripting languages it is best to practice the proper syntax to avoid bugs of any sort. It gets more complex when dealing with other formats of data. For example, JSON data. It is here that the best practice comes into play. For simple arrays it is not too important but for those complex data it will be good to use a standard for clarity sake more than anything.

A: I think you should use accepted standard psr-2.
From terminal you can use phpcs to check your script: phpcs --standard=PSR2 file.php

The emergence of the internet completely revolutionized the lending landscape. Innovative financial technology is changing the way businesses borrow and lenders loan money, offering the promise of increased convenience and access to financial services. One such innovation is the emergency of "marketplace lending," sometimes referred to as "peer-to-peer" or "platform" lending. Lenders who occupy this space are typically online non-bank financial companies that built technology platforms and online marketing strategies to match borrowers and lenders. The platforms connect businesses who seek to borrow money with investors willing to buy or invest in the loan. In my most cases, once a loan is made, the platform collects principal and interest payments and makes payments, less fees that the platform keeps, to investors. This webinar discusses marketplace lending from a macro perspective, including the regulatory regime that governs the space. It compares marketplace lending with other forms of lending. And it explores some of the pros and cons of borrowing from a marketplace lender.
Financing through a merchant cash advance (MCA) is used mostly by companies that accepted credit and debit cards for most of their sales, typically retailers and restaurants. The concept is this: funder purchases a portion of the company's future credit card receivables for a discounted lump sum. The MCA funder receives the purchased credit card receivables as they are generated either by taking a percentage of the company's daily credit card proceeds or by debiting a certain amount of funds from the company's bank account. Depending on the risk profile of the company, it can be a more expensive form of financing for a business compared to other types of financing. This webinar explains the nuts and bolts of MCA financing, its pros, and its cons. It explores the documentation that is necessary to enter into such an arrangement, including how to negotiate that documentation.
A simple way to think about factoring is to think of it as a company selling its invoices or accounts receivable (A/R) to a third party. It is not that simple, however, thus the purpose of this webinar. A factor makes a profit by buying A/R for less than 100% of its face amount. Companies that transact with factors are often cash-strapped. A factor will typically advance most of an invoice amount – usually between 70% – 90%. When the invoice is paid, the factor will remit the balance the company, less a transaction fee. This arrangement allows a company to get cash much faster than it would if it waited to be paid pursuant to the terms of its invoices (i.e. often 30 days) and even faster if its customer fails to pay within terms. This webinar discusses various common types of factoring arrangements; how to negotiate a factoring agreement; and alternatives to consider before deciding to factor.
Purchase-order financing (P/O financing) is designed to extend credit to a company that needs cash quickly, to fill a customer order. A company may operate with such a small amount of working capital that it cannot afford to pay the for the cost of producing a customer's order. P/O financing enables such company to not turn away business, by borrowing from a lender using the purchase order itself as collateral to support a loan. This webinar explains when P/O financing may make sense for a company; some of the more common terms and conditions of such financing; how to negotiate those terms; how it co-exists with other forms of financing and potential alternatives.
Asset-based lending, or an asset-based loan (ABL) is made by a lender who underwrites the loan primarily by valuing the company's assets, such as accounts receivable (A/R) and inventory. An ABL lender can be distinguished from a "cash flow" lender in that while a cash flow lender secures its loan against the borrower's assets, as does an ABL lender, the cash flow lender underwrites the loan based on the cashflow and general credit-worthiness of the borrower. An ABL lender, in contrast, looks primarily to the ability to liquidate its collateral should it need to, to be repaid. Since ABL lenders are willing to provide loans to companies with weaker financial performance, they are able to provide financing to companies who are not eligible for a cash flow loan. ABL lenders typically charge higher interest rates than cash flow lenders as a result of greater risk of non-performance. This webinar explains ABLs, explores its pros and cons, and discusses the basics of negotiating one.
A business borrows when it purchases goods or services on credit. At the other extreme is the business with multiple lending facilities with multiple lenders. The webinar takes the audience through a guided tour of the various borrowing options available to businesses, from both a business and legal perspective, to paint the overall landscape of the different types of lenders that exist and to provide a framework for understanding what type of lender and loan may make sense for any particular borrower.

CityLab: The Working Poor Can't Afford New York City Transit
Discounted MetroCards would provide affordable transit access to those who need it the most.
ARIA BENDIX
@ariabendix
Keith Bedford / Reuters
Every few years, it becomes more and more expensive to ride the New York City subway. Last year*, the cost of a single ride increased by 10 percent, from $2.50 to $2.75. For many New Yorkers, this fare hike is a small price to pay for more reliable service and greater speed and efficiency. But it seems the city has forgotten about low-income citizens who depend on the subway to get around, and may not be able to bear the cost of an additional 25 cents per ride.
A new report from the Community Service Society of New York looks at how to best address this affordability problem for New York's low-income workers. In a city where public transit is often crucial to mobility, 58 percent of poor New Yorkers rely on the subway and buses as a means of transportation—more so than any other income group. In fact, New York's low-income workers typically spend more than 10 percent of their family budget on transit, according to the report. While unlimited monthly passes present a more affordable alternative in the long run, most low-income workers have trouble fronting the initial $116.50 each month.
This leaves many poor residents in a precarious situation as prices go up while their budgets remain the same. The report tells the story of one man who had to make the difficult decision between purchasing a MetroCard or paying his rent, and another who had to walk for over an hour from West Harlem to attend his college courses in the Bronx. Indeed, many residents cannot attend job interviews, pick up their children from school, or have immediate access to healthcare because they can't afford the MTA's steep prices. The report notes that about a quarter of low-income, working-age New Yorkers often can't afford a metro card at all.
One solution suggested in the report is to cut transit costs in half for the working poor—those at or below the poverty threshold—so that a single ride costs around $1.35. With this program in place, an estimated 361,000 subway riders could save nearly $194 million a year, according to the report.
"The turnstile should be the gateway, not the barrier, to economic opportunity."
In New York, half-price fares are already available to seniors and qualifying disabled residents regardless of their economic status. Students in grades K-12 also receive unlimited metro passes at the beginning of each term. In addition, some New Yorkers enjoy pre-tax commuter benefits from their employers. Most low-income workers, however, don't receive such benefits.
"We're already giving tax breaks and discounts to lots of groups. Why not do it for those who are least able to afford [transportation]?" asks Nancy Rankin, a co-author of the report. It's a question that's on the minds of many New Yorkers these days: The report shows that two out of three New Yorkers support a half-priced fare program for the working poor.
The estimated cost of the program is $78 million for the first year and $194 million the year after, which Rankin sees as a reasonable goal. "In an $80 billion city budget, the city could probably find $200 million for this," she says. As an alternative, the report includes suggestions like raising the state gas tax or extending the current millionaire's tax to offset the costs.
Should New York decide to implement the program, the city would not be alone. Already, cities including Seattle, San Francisco, and London offer fare discounts to low-income or unemployed residents. Rankin says she is hopeful that New York will follow suit in the near future. Mayor Bill de Blasio's office recently stated that they "look forward to reviewing the report in greater detail."
In the meantime, high transit prices continue to hinder the upward mobility of low-income, working-class residents. The report's authors hope that this discounted program will reverse this effect somewhat, allowing a greater number of New Yorkers to seek out jobs in higher-income areas. As Rankin puts it, "the turnstile should be the gateway, not the barrier, to economic opportunity."
*CORRECTION: This post has been updated. The 10 percent fare increase was made last year.

Bus Swerves To Avoid Car, Hits Tree. Riders Injuired
Home » News » Bus Accidents » Bus Swerves To Avoid Car, Hits Tree. Riders Injuired
For the most part, taking a bus to get around town is much safer, statistically speaking, than driving your own vehicle. Drivers who operate city and state transportation buses normally must obtain a commercial driver's license, which usually requires stricter and more comprehensive testing than a normal driver's license. Most of the accidents that involve buses are usually the fault of the other driver. When these accidents do occur, no matter who is at fault, it is likely that people will be injured.
The Tallahassee Democrat reports that a StarMetro bus that was involved in an accident with a car, injuring several people. Isiah Taylor was riding a StarMetro bus home from Governor's Square Mall on Saturday evening when a crash knocked him from his seat.
The 22-year-old reported that he felt a violent shudder. He looked and saw that the bus had swerved off of the roadway and hit a tree.
On Sunday, officials from the city said that a review of security footage revealed that a car had run a stop sign at the corner of North Duval and West Georgia streets at about 6:37 p.m. That car hit the front of the bus, turning it into a mass of unrecognizable, twisted metal.
The Tallahassee Police Department is conducting a full investigation. The bus driver, as well as some other passengers, were transported to area hospitals for their injuries. The bus driver suffered from serious injuries.
Taylor said that he thought he saw between 7 to 10 people injured and thanked God that the bus had not been crowded.

Supposedly an old variety yet one about which little is known or recorded. It was introduced to the National Fruit Trials in 1945, being said to be from the County of Worcestershire.
It can still be found in a few old orchards in the region and is sometimes refered to simply as Purnells. The fruit viewed in August seem a bright green, medium-sized dessert, yet by late October develop rich red and orange streaks resembling almost a completely different apple. Fully ripe by November it will keep until January. The flesh is firm, creamy and fine, juicy and sweet.


COTONOU, Mar 12 (Reuters) Independent candidate Yayi Boni has emerged as the leader in the first round of Benin's presidential election but the poll looks likely to go to a second round, election officials said today.
With more than 70 per cent of the votes counted from the first round on March 5, Boni, a former head of the West African Development Bank, had nearly 32 per cent, according to the Autonomous National Electoral Commission (CENA).
His nearest challenger, Adrien Houngbedji of the Party for Democratic Renewal, had just over 25 per cent, but as neither appeared likely to gain the required 50 per cent, the election would have to go to a second round.
With 26 candidates standing, the election in the small West African state is being held to choose a successor to President Mathieu Kerekou, a former military ruler who has dominated Benin politics for more than 30 years.
The first round of voting a week ago was dogged by allegations of electoral fraud but CENA officials denied any serious irregularities and West African observers have given the poll a generally clean bill of health.

Q: Data not inserting in database when using console application I am new to console application. Now i wrote a sample function for insert values in database. There is no problem in my database connection. But my valuse are not inserting in table. Please find the issue and let me know.
This is my code
static void Main(string[] args)
        {
try
            {
                string sConnectionString = "Data Source=my ipaddress;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=db;user id=user;Password=password";
                string sSQL = "";
                using (var connection = new SqlConnection(sConnectionString))
                {
                    connection.Open();
                    Console.WriteLine("OK");
                    for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++)
                    {

                        sSQL = "INSERT INTO test " +
                         "(id) " +
                             "VALUES (" + i + ")";

                        Console.WriteLine(i + " inserted successfully");

                    }
                    SqlCommand objCmd = new SqlCommand(sSQL, connection);
                }
            }
            catch (DbException)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("NOT OK");
            }
}

A: You're not executing the command at all - you're creating a SqlCommand, and then doing nothing with it. You need to call ExecuteNonQuery().
However, you should also stop building the SQL like that. You should start using parameterized SQL right now. Something like this:
using (var connection = new SqlConnection(sConnectionString))
{
    connection.Open();
    var sql = "INSERT INTO test (id) VALUES (@id)";
    using (var command = new SqlCommand(sql, connection))
    {
        // Adjust this to match the type of the id field
        var parameter = command.Parameters.Add("@id", SqlDbType.Int);
        for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++)
        {
            parameter.Value = i;
            command.ExecuteNonQuery();
        }
    }
}

Official results for the 2017 Chaincrasher awards are in, thank you to all who voted! We decided on two official awards this year with three honorary awards, but we need your input to decide which awards will stick around for next year! Also, if your favorite putter of 2017 didn't make the list then just get out there in 2018 and campaign hard to get all of your friends to vote. Enough talk, let's get to the Chaincrasher Awards!
See the 2018 Disc Golf Putter of the Year Awards here!
The Dynamic Discs Deputy is a stable to understable putter that works as a perfect complement to an overstable putter for approach purposes. At full power it will give you a nice turnover line and with a lighter throw you'll get a straight and consistent flight. The Deputy also gives great consistent results as a long distance putter. Rodney has been sinking long putts with one since its release. Buy a Dynamic Discs Deputy for yourself and give it a try.
The Streamline Discs Pilot was the first putter released by the MVP Discs offshoot company and we were instantly impressed. A stable putter that feels very comfortable in the hand, the Pilot gives a straight flight with moderate glide. The reduced glide comes in handy when you want to go aggressive on the green – a missed putt doesn't fly too far away. We think this putter flew under the radar this year – the Streamline Discs Pilot is worth a look if you missed out on it earlier this year.
The Dynamic Discs Slammer (you can read our Slammer review here) is a beefy overstable putter that will hold torque and fight the wind. It quickly found its way into both of our bags because of the consistency and reliability it offers in the approach game. Pick up a Slammer here today.
This was a tough fight given the Pilot and Deputy are also great beginner choices, but the Discraft Challenger SS takes this one. The Challenger SS has the familiar feel of the original Challenger, but it's quite straight with a dependable fade and it also comes in Jawbreaker plastic which is one of our favorites.

So you consistently hit your irons fat…or push them to the right…or your driver's slice seems to have a life of its own. Put simply you need help. It's either that or learning how to play croquet.
World renowned golf instructor Jim McLean latest book can help. It's filled with the drills he has used over the years while working with top amateurs and professionals such as Cristie Kerr, Hal Sutton, Sergio Garcia, Tom Kite, Peter Jacobsen and many others.
Entitled Golf Digest's Ultimate Drill Book, McLean has included 120 drills to fix specific swing faults accompanied by 200 photos showing exactly how each is to be executed. Though lacking an index to aid in quickly finding just the drill you need when you need it, there lots of classic drills used for years by the best instructors including some from McLean's original Book of Drills that has gone through 14 printings since being published in 1990.
Additionally the book has dozens of new ways you can use to teach yourself how to swing properly and all share the characteristic of being able to be explained in a minimum of words with photos to illustrate. For example the drill to learn how to hit the low penetrating shots required when playing into the wind takes less than 100 words. And the drill is simple…just practice hitting balls from a slightly downhill lie and take a small divot after impact.
Another drill to help teach you to not over-think your putts causing a lack of feel and problems controlling distance is one that Fuzzy Zoeller used and still uses. Whistle-while-you-putt, quietly, to occupy your mind and allow your feel for the strokes rhythm and line take over.
The Ultimate Drill Book is filled with gems such as these and worthy of a spot in any golfer's library.

The onus of proof is not on the claimant (employee), the corollary is that onus of proof that the condition for non-entitlement is with the employer. A claimant has a right to derive benefit of any reasonable doubt and is entitled for pensionary benefit more liberally (Rule 9).=There is admittedly neither any note in the service records of the respondents at the time of their entry into service nor have any reasons been recorded by the Medical Board to suggest that the disease which the member concerned was found to be suffering from could not have been detected at the time of his entry into service. The initial presumption that the respondents were all physically fit and free from any disease and in sound physical and mental condition at the time of their entry into service thus remains unrebutted. Since the disability has in each case been assessed at more than 20%, their claim to disability pension could not have been repudiated by the appellants.

2. These appeals arise out of separate but similar orders passed by the
Armed Forces Tribunal holding the respondents entitled to claim disability
pension under the relevant Pension Regulations of the Army. The Tribunal
has taken the view that the disability of each one of the respondents was
attributable to or aggravated by military service and the same having been
assessed at more than 20% entitled them to disability pension. The
appellant-Union of India has assailed that finding and direction for
payment of pension primarily on the ground that the Medical Boards
concerned having clearly opined that the disability had not arisen out of
or aggravated by military service, the Tribunal was not justified in taking
a contrary view.
3. Relying upon the decisions of this Court in Union of India and Ors.
v. Keshar Singh (2007) 12 SCC 675; Om Prakash Singh v. Union of India
and Ors. (2010) 12 SCC 667; Secretary, Ministry of Defence and Ors. v.
A.V. Damodaran (Dead) through LRs. and Ors. (2009) 9 SCC 140; and Union of
India and Ors. v. Ram Prakash (2010) 11 SCC 220, it was contended by Mr.
Balasubramanian, learned counsel appearing for the appellant in these
appeals, that the opinion of the Release Medical Board and in some cases Re-
survey Medical Board and Appellate Medical Authority must be respected,
especially when the question whether the disability suffered by the
respondents was attributable to or aggravated by military service was a
technical question falling entirely in the realm of medical science in
which the opinion expressed by medical experts could not be lightly brushed
aside. Inasmuch as the Tribunal had failed to show any deference to the
opinion of the experts who were better qualified to determine the question
of attributability of a disease/disability to a military service, the
Tribunal had fallen in error argued the learned counsel.
4. On behalf of the respondents it was, on the other hand, submitted
that the decisions relied upon by learned counsel for the appellant were of
no assistance in view of the later pronouncement of this Court in Dharamvir
Singh v. Union of India and Ors. (2013) 7 SCC 316 where a two-Judge Bench
of this Court had, after a comprehensive review of the case law and the
relevant rules and regulations, distinguished the said decisions and stated
the true legal position. It was contended that the earlier decisions in
the cases relied upon by the appellants were decided in the peculiar facts
of those cases and did not constitute a binding precedent especially when
the said decisions had not dealt with several aspects to which the decision
of this Court in Dharamvir Singh's case (supra) had adverted. Applying the
principles enunciated in Dharamvir Singh's case (supra) these appeals,
according to the learned counsel for the respondents, deserve to be
dismissed and indeed ought to meet that fate.
5. The material facts giving rise to the controversy in these appeals
are not in dispute. It is not in dispute that the respondents in all these
appeals were invalided out of service on account of medical disability

6. It is also not in dispute that the extent of disability in each one
of the cases was assessed to be above 20% which is the bare minimum in
terms of Regulation 173 of the Pension Regulations for the Army, 1961. The
only question that arises in the above backdrop is whether the disability
which each one of the respondents suffered was attributable to or
aggravated by military service. The Medical Board has rejected the claim
for disability pension only on the ground that the disability was not
attributable to or aggravated by military service. Whether or not that
opinion is in itself sufficient to deny to the respondents the disability
pension claimed by them is the only question falling for our determination.
Several decisions of this Court have in the past examined similar questions
in almost similar fact situations. But before we refer to those
pronouncements we may briefly refer to the Pension Regulations that govern
the field.
7. The claims of the respondents for payment of pension, it is a common
ground, are regulated by Pension Regulations for the Army, 1961.
Regulation 173 of the said Regulations provides for grant of disability
pension to persons who are invalided out of service on account of a
disability which is attributable to or aggravated by military service in
non-battle casualty and is assessed at 20% or above. The regulation reads:
"173. Primary conditions for the grant of disability pension: Unless
otherwise specifically provided a disability pension may be granted to an
individual who is invalided from service on account of a disability which
is attributable to or aggravated by military service and is assessed at 20
percent or over. The question whether a disability is attributable to or
aggravated by military service shall be determined under the rule in
Appendix II."
8. The above makes it manifest that only two conditions have been
specified for the grant of disability pension viz. (i) the disability is
above 20%; and (ii) the disability is attributable to or aggravated by
military service. Whether or not the disability is attributable to or
aggravated by military service, is in turn, to be determined under
Entitlement Rules for Casualty Pensionary Awards, 1982 forming Appendix-II
to the Pension Regulations. Significantly, Rule 5 of the Entitlement Rules
for Casualty Pensionary Awards, 1982 also lays down the approach to be
adopted while determining the entitlement to disability pension under the
said Rules. Rule 5 reads as under:
"5. The approach to the question of entitlement to casualty pensionary
awards and evaluation of disabilities shall be based on the following
Prior to and during service
A member is presumed to have been in sound physical and mental condition
upon entering service except as to physical disabilities noted or recorded
at the time of entrance.
In the event of his subsequently being discharged from service on medical
grounds any deterioration in his health, which has taken place, is due to
9. Equally important is Rule 9 of the Entitlement Rules (supra) which
places the onus of proof upon the establishment. Rule 9 reads:
"9. Onus of proof. – The claimant shall not be called upon to prove
the conditions of entitlements. He/She will receive the benefit of any
reasonable doubt. This benefit will be given more liberally to the
claimants in field/afloat service cases."
10. As regards diseases Rule 14 of the Entitlement Rules stipulates that
in the case of a disease which has led to an individual's discharge or
death, the disease shall be deemed to have arisen in service, if no note of
it was made at the time of individual's acceptance for military service,
subject to the condition that if medical opinion holds for reasons to be
stated that the "disease could not have been detected on medical
examination prior to acceptance for service, the same will not be deemed to
have so arisen". Rule 14 may also be extracted for facility of reference.
"14. Diseases.- In respect of diseases, the following rule will be observed
Cases in which it is established that conditions of military service did
not determine or contribute to the onset of the disease but influenced the
subsequent courses of the disease will fall for acceptance on the basis of
aggravation.
A disease which has led to an individual's discharge or death will
ordinarily be deemed to have arisen in service, if no note of it was made
at the time of the individual's acceptance for military service. However,
if medical opinion holds, for reasons to be stated, that the disease could
not have been detected on medical examination prior to acceptance for
service, the disease will not be deemed to have arisen during service.
If a disease is accepted as having arisen in service, it must also be
established that the conditions of military service determined or
contributed to the onset of the disease and that the conditions were due to
the circumstances of duty in military service."
11. From a conjoint and harmonious reading of Rules 5, 9 and 14 of
Entitlement Rules (supra) the following guiding principles emerge:
at the time of entrance;
in the event of his being discharged from service on medical grounds at any
subsequent stage it must be presumed that any such deterioration in his
health which has taken place is due to such military service;
the disease which has led to an individual's discharge or death will
at the time of the individual's acceptance for military service; and
if medical opinion holds that the disease, because of which the individual
was discharged, could not have been detected on medical examination prior
to acceptance of service, reasons for the same shall be stated.
12. Reference may also be made at this stage to the guidelines set out in
Chapter-II of the Guide to Medical Officers (Military Pensions), 2002 which
set out the "Entitlement: General Principles", and the approach to be
adopted in such cases. Paras 7, 8 and 9 of the said guidelines reads as
under:
"7. Evidentiary value is attached to the record of a member's condition at
the commencement of service, and such record has, therefore, to be accepted
unless any different conclusion has been reached due to the inaccuracy of
the record in a particular case or otherwise. Accordingly, if the disease
leading to member's invalidation out of service or death while in service,
was not noted in a medical report at the commencement of service, the
inference would be that the disease arose during the period of member's
military service. It may be that the inaccuracy or incompleteness of
service record on entry in service was due to a non-disclosure of the
essential facts by the member e.g. pre-enrolment history of an injury or
disease like epilepsy, mental disorder, etc. It may also be that owing to
latency or obscurity of the symptoms, a disability escaped detection on
enrolment. Such lack of recognition may affect the medical categorisation
of the member on enrolment and/or cause him to perform duties harmful to
his condition. Again, there may occasionally be direct evidence of the
contraction of a disability, otherwise than by service. In all such cases,
though the disease cannot be considered to have been caused by service, the
question of aggravation by subsequent service conditions will need
examination.
The following are some of the diseases which ordinarily escape detection on
enrolment:
(a) Certain congenital abnormalities which are latent and only discoverable
on full investigations e.g. Congenital Defect of Spine, Spina bifida,
Sacralisation,
(b) Certain familial and hereditary diseases e.g. Haemophilia, Congential
Syphilis, Haemoglobinopathy.
(c) Certain diseases of the heart and blood vessels e.g. Coronary
Atherosclerosis, Rheumatic Fever.
(d) Diseases which may be undetectable by physical examination on
enrolment, unless adequate history is given at the time by the member e.g.
Gastric and Duodenal Ulcers, Epilepsy, Mental Disorders, HIV Infections.
(e) Relapsing forms of mental disorders which have intervals of normality.
(f) Diseases which have periodic attacks e.g. Bronchial Asthma, Epilepsy,
Csom, etc.
8. The question whether the invalidation or death of a member has resulted
from service conditions, has to be judged in the light of the record of the
member's condition on enrolment as noted in service documents and of all
other available evidence both direct and indirect.
In addition to any documentary evidence relative to the member's condition
to entering the service and during service, the member must be carefully
and closely questioned on the circumstances which led to the advent of his
disease, the duration, the family history, his pre-service history, etc. so
that all evidence in support or against the claim is elucidated. Presidents
of Medical Boards should make this their personal responsibility and ensure
that opinions on attributability, aggravation or otherwise are supported by
cogent reasons; the approving authority should also be satisfied that this
question has been dealt with in such a way as to leave no reasonable doubt.
9. On the question whether any persisting deterioration has occurred, it is
to be remembered that invalidation from service does not necessarily imply
that the member's health has deteriorated during service. The disability
may have been discovered soon after joining and the member discharged in
his own interest in order to prevent deterioration. In such cases, there
may even have been a temporary worsening during service, but if the
treatment given before discharge was on grounds of expediency to prevent a
recurrence, no lasting damage was inflicted by service and there would be
no ground for admitting entitlement. Again a member may have been invalided
from service because he is found so weak mentally that it is impossible to
make him an efficient soldier. This would not mean that his condition has
worsened during service, but only that it is worse than was realised on
enrolment in the army. To sum up, in each case the question whether any
persisting deterioration on the available [pic]evidence which will vary
according to the type of the disability, the consensus of medical opinion
relating to the particular condition and the clinical history."
13. In Dharamvir Singh's case (supra) this Court took note of the
provisions of the Pensions Regulations, Entitlement Rules and the General
Rules of Guidance to Medical Officers to sum up the legal position emerging
from the same in the following words:
"29.1. Disability pension to be granted to an individual who is invalided
from service on account of a disability which is attributable to or
aggravated by military service in non-battle casualty and is assessed at
20% or over. The question whether a disability is attributable to or
aggravated by military service to be determined under the Entitlement Rules
for Casualty Pensionary Awards, 1982 of Appendix II (Regulation 173).
29.2. A member is to be presumed in sound physical and mental condition
upon entering service if there is no note or record at the time of
entrance. In the event of his subsequently being discharged from service on
medical grounds any deterioration in his health is to be presumed due to
service [Rule 5 read with Rule 14(b)].
29.3. The onus of proof is not on the claimant (employee), the corollary is
that onus of proof that the condition for non-entitlement is with the
employer. A claimant has a right to derive benefit of any reasonable doubt
and is entitled for pensionary benefit more liberally (Rule 9).
29.4. If a disease is accepted to have been as having arisen in service, it
must also be established that the conditions of military service determined
or contributed to the onset of the disease and that the conditions were due
to the circumstances of duty in military service [Rule 14(c)].
29.5. If no note of any disability or disease was made at the time of
individual's acceptance for military service, a disease which has led to an
individual's discharge or death will be deemed to have arisen in service
[Rule 14(b)].
29.6. If medical opinion holds that the disease could not have been
detected on medical examination prior to the acceptance for service and
that disease will not be deemed to have arisen during service, the Medical
Board is required to state the reasons [Rule 14(b)]; and
29.7. It is mandatory for the Medical Board to follow the guidelines laid
down in Chapter II of the Guide to Medical Officers (Military Pensions),
2002 – "Entitlement: General Principles", including Paras 7, 8 and 9 as
referred to above (para 27)."
14. Applying the above principles this Court in Dharamvir Singh's case
(supra) found that no note of any disease had been recorded at the time of
his acceptance into military service. This Court also held that Union of
India had failed to bring on record any document to suggest that Dharamvir
was under treatment for the disease at the time of his recruitment or that
the disease was hereditary in nature. This Court, on that basis, declared
Dharamvir to be entitled to claim disability pension in the absence of any
note in his service record at the time of his acceptance into military
service. This Court observed:
"33. In spite of the aforesaid provisions, the Pension Sanctioning
Authority failed to notice that the Medical Board had not given any reason
in support of its opinion, particularly when there is no note of such
disease or disability available in the service record of the appellant at
the time of acceptance for military service. Without going through the
aforesaid facts the Pension Sanctioning Authority mechanically passed the
impugned order of rejection based on the report of the Medical Board. As
per Rules 5 and 9 of the Entitlement Rules for Casualty Pensionary Awards,
1982, the appellant is entitled for presumption and benefit of presumption
in his favour. In the absence of any evidence on record to show that the
appellant was suffering from "generalised seizure (epilepsy)" at the time
of acceptance of his service, it will be presumed that the appellant was in
sound physical and mental condition at the time of entering the service and
deterioration in his health has taken place due to service."
15. The legal position as stated in Dharamvir Singh's case (supra) is, in
our opinion, in tune with the Pension Regulations, the Entitlement Rules
and the Guidelines issued to the Medical Officers. The essence of the
rules, as seen earlier, is that a member of the armed forces is presumed to
be in sound physical and mental condition at the time of his entry into
service if there is no note or record to the contrary made at the time of
such entry. More importantly, in the event of his subsequent discharge from
service on medical ground, any deterioration in his health is presumed to
be due to military service. This necessarily implies that no sooner a
member of the force is discharged on medical ground his entitlement to
claim disability pension will arise unless of course the employer is in a
position to rebut the presumption that the disability which he suffered was
neither attributable to nor aggravated by military service. From Rule 14(b)
of the Entitlement Rules it is further clear that if the medical opinion
were to hold that the disease suffered by the member of the armed forces
could not have been detected prior to acceptance for service, the Medical
Board must state the reasons for saying so. Last but not the least is the
fact that the provision for payment of disability pension is a beneficial
provision which ought to be interpreted liberally so as to benefit those
who have been sent home with a disability at times even before they
completed their tenure in the armed forces. There may indeed be cases,
where the disease was wholly unrelated to military service, but, in order
that denial of disability pension can be justified on that ground, it must
be affirmatively proved that the disease had nothing to do with such
service. The burden to establish such a disconnect would lie heavily upon
the employer for otherwise the rules raise a presumption that the
deterioration in the health of the member of the service is on account of
military service or aggravated by it. A soldier cannot be asked to prove
that the disease was contracted by him on account of military service or
was aggravated by the same. The very fact that he was upon proper physical
and other tests found fit to serve in the army should rise as indeed the
rules do provide for a presumption that he was disease-free at the time of
his entry into service. That presumption continues till it is proved by the
employer that the disease was neither attributable to nor aggravated by
military service. For the employer to say so, the least that is required is
a statement of reasons supporting that view. That we feel is the true
essence of the rules which ought to be kept in view all the time while
dealing with cases of disability pension.
16. Applying the above parameters to the cases at hand, we are of the
view that each one of the respondents having been discharged from service
on account of medical disease/disability, the disability must be presumed
to have been arisen in the course of service which must, in the absence of
any reason recorded by the Medical Board, be presumed to have been
attributable to or aggravated by military service. There is admittedly
neither any note in the service records of the respondents at the time of
their entry into service nor have any reasons been recorded by the Medical
Board to suggest that the disease which the member concerned was found to
be suffering from could not have been detected at the time of his entry
into service. The initial presumption that the respondents were all
physically fit and free from any disease and in sound physical and mental
condition at the time of their entry into service thus remains unrebutted.
Since the disability has in each case been assessed at more than 20%, their
claim to disability pension could not have been repudiated by the
appellants.
17. In the result these appeals fail and are hereby dismissed without any
order as to costs.
New Delhi (R. BANUMATHI)
« In appeal, the High Court has also noticed the serious allegation of use of sharp weapon such as sword by the accused persons who chased the injured and then caused incised injuries on their persons. Even then the High Court showed leniency by altering conviction under Section 308 IPC to one under Section 324 IPC. It also reduced sentence of three years to six months for Section 324 IPC and further reduced sentence of six months each under Section 323 IPC and three years each under Section 452 IPC to R.I. for a period of three months each under Sections 452 and 323 IPC. From the order of the trial court on the question of sentence it transpires that the only plea for showing leniency was a claim that the appellants have got aged mother. In the facts and circumstances, the view taken by the trial court for not extending the Probation of Offenders Act cannot be faulted and hence we find no good reason to interfere in the matter.
withdrawal of a bid before acceptance in the context of Section 5 of the Contract Act, 1872= in Malik Traders (supra). Even in this case this Court was dealing with the effect of withdrawal of a bid before acceptance in the context of Section 5 of the Contract Act, 1872. Rejecting the submission that the bid can be withdrawn without any forfeiture in view of Section 5 of the Contract Act, this Court observed: "… … …Thus, even though under Section 5 of the Act a proposal may be revoked at any time before the communication of its acceptance is complete as against the proposer, the respondent was bound by the agreement contained in its offer/bid to keep the bid open for acceptance up to 90 days after the last date of receipt of bid and if the respondent withdrew its bid before the expiry of the said period of 90 [pic]days the respondent was liable to suffer the consequence (i.e. forfeiture of the full value of bid security) as agreed to by the respondent in Para 10 of the offer/bid. Under the cover of the provisions contained in Section 5 of the Act, the respondent cannot escape from the obligations and liabilities under the agreements contained in its offer/bid. The right to withdraw an offer before its acceptance cannot nullify the agreement to suffer any penalty for the withdrawal of the offer against the terms of agreement. A person may have a right to withdraw his offer, but if he has made his offer on a condition that the bid security amount can be forfeited in case he withdraws the offer during the period of bid validity, he has no right to claim that the bid security should not be forfeited and it should be returned to him. Forfeiture of such bid security amount does not, in any way, affect any statutory right under Section 5 of the Act. The bid security was given by the respondent and taken by the appellants to ensure that the offer is not withdrawn during the bid validity period of 90 days and a contract comes into existence. Such conditions are included to ensure that only genuine parties make the bids. In the absence of such conditions, persons who do not have the capacity or have no intention of entering into the contract will make bids. The very purpose of such a condition in the offer/bid will be defeated, if forfeiture is not permitted when the offer is withdrawn in violation of the agreement." 13. The upshot of the above discussion is that it is no longer possible for the respondents to contend that the right to withdraw the bid in terms of Section 5 of the Contract Act, 1872 would entitle them to withdraw without suffering forfeiture of the earnest money even in cases where the submission and receipt of bids is itself subject to the condition that in the event of a withdrawal of the bid the earnest money stand forfeited. Inasmuch as the High Court remained totally oblivious of the true legal position while directing refund of the earnest money, it committed an error. 14. In the result this appeal succeeds and is, hereby, allowed. »
