We've now been able to confirm that one of the world's most radical upcoming cars, the Mercedes-AMG Project One, does indeed plug in.
The Mercedes-AMG Project One will cost €2.275 million plus taxes ($2.43 million USD) and it's set for its grand reveal at the Frankfurt Motor Show this Fall. Sales will begin in mid-2018 and production will be extremely limited (275 units in total).
"Project One use both forms of energy recovery system found in modern F1 cars: the MGU-K that converts mechanical and heat energy into electrical energy that can be stored for later deployment, and the MGU-H system that takes heat from the exhaust and uses it to create electrical energy."
"Beyond that, we expect to develop a special program to support owners, but using the car will not be as complicated as many prospective customers seem to expect. Because of the F1 technology in the car, people are asking me "will I need a support crew or dedicated fuel to run it," - and my answer is always no. This will be a street car. You keep it plugged in in the garage. You fill it with '98' when you buy fuel. That's it."
The electric-only range for Project One is listed at up to 18 miles (likely NEDC), a decent figure. Project One is as radical as they come though. This AWD beast seats two and has a 1.6-liter engine that redlines over 10,000 rpm.
It's certainly not a vehicle for the faint of heart and yeah, it's not that practical, but still we're thrilled to discover that it's a plug-in, which basically proves to us that in order to make the most advanced road-going car in the world, you're gonna need a plug.

This video looks at some drills for the first half of Sochin kata (Shotokan version). The clip starts by looking at the kata's illustrations of principle (i.e. example techniques). We then move on to drill the skill of moving past the limbs by applying those principles in a more free-flowing way. It's important to understand that what is shown at that point is a drill for clearing the enemy's limbs out of the way of the target. We therefore isolate that skill and extend the time practicing it. This is not meant to be a realistic recreation of combat. Finally, we show how such skills would be applied i.e. a quick action to get past any flinch / cover, so we can land strikes and then escape. As always, a short summary clip can't convey the entirety of what was practiced, but I nevertheless hope you find it of some interest.

Q: How to use variables between different roles in ansible my playbook structure looks like:
- hosts: all
  name: all
  roles:
  - roles1
  - roles2

In tasks of roles1, I define such a variable
   ---
   # tasks for roles1
   - name: Get the zookeeper image tag # rel3.0
     run_once: true
     shell: echo '{{item.split(":")[-1]}}' # Here can get the string rel3.0 normally
     with_items: "{{ret.stdout.split('\n')}}"
     when: "'zookeeper' in item"
     register: zk_tag

ret.stdout:
Loaded image: test/old/kafka:latest
Loaded image: test/new/mysql:v5.7
Loaded image: test/old/zookeeper:rel3.0

In tasks of roles2, I want to use the zk_tag variable
- name: Test if the variable zk_tag can be used in roles2
  debug: var={{ zk_tag.stdout }}

Error :
The task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error was: 'dict object' has no attribute 'stdout'

I think I encountered the following 2 problems:

*

*When registering a variable with register, when condition is added, this variable cannot be used in all groups. How to solve this problem? How to make this variable available to all groups?

*is my title, How to use variables between different roles in ansible?

A: You're most likely starting a new playbook for a new host. Meaning all previous collected vars are lost.
What you can do is pass a var to another host with the add_host module.
- name: Pass variable from this play to the other host in the same play
  add_host:
    name: hostname2
    var_in_play_2: "{{ var_in_play_1 }}"

--- EDIT ---
It's a bit unclear. Why do you use the when statement in the first place if you want every host in the play for it to be available?
You might want to use the group_vars/all.yml file to place vars in.
Also, using add_host should be the way to go as how I read it. Can you post your playbook, and the outcome of your playbook on a site, e.g. pastebin?

A: If there is any chance the var is not defined because of a when condition, you should use a default value to force the var to be defined when using it. While you are at it, use the debug module for your tests rather than echoing something in a shell
- name: Debug my var
  debug:
    msg: "{{ docker_exists | default(false) }}"

Eye Tracking Technologies Sparks IT Interest for Young Girls
by Pete Norloff | Feb 22, 2019 | Eye Tracking | 0 comments
Eye tracking is becoming increasingly popular, as it is introduced in more medical studies and even consumer devices. This type of technology has numerous applications, and those outside the eye tracking industry are being introduced to this amazing technology for the first time.
The group Women in Information and Communication (WIC) is reaching out to high school students to encourage them to think about IT careers, and "cool" technologies like eye tracking are making their task a bit easier. WIC president Kate Muir told The Canberra Times that, historically, girls haven't necessarily wanted to enter the IT field:
"I think they think it's just nerdy – and who wants to cut code? For crying out loud – I didn't want to cut code," she said.
However, changing times and emerging technologies are causing girls to give IT a second look.
"IT is a really good career for women – it's not just programming and it's not just putting PCs on desks – there's roles for business analysts, there's roles for team leaders, there's roles for information management specialists who understand all sorts of technical things," Muir said.
WIC holds events, like the one held at the ANU College of Engineering and Computer Science, to show girls just how cool tech can be. The events feature demonstrations of real-life applications of IT, including the use of brain mapping and eye tracking technologies, to inspire girls to enter the field.
Besides opening up young girls' worlds to the possibilities of IT, WIC's program has wider implications. As WIC vice president Marie Johnson puts it:
"I look at it as an innovation issue – not having more diversity in the technology thinking. If you've got the same frame of reference … then you're missing out on a whole lot of opportunities for innovation. I think it's an economic issue."

Apparently "app addiction" is a real thing so companies are making dumb phones even "dumber" than the older style candybar Nokias.
It is desirable to have an emergency phone but I need my email unfortunately. Life.
Apps aren't the primary issue with addiction. It's the ongoing notifications every single time a friend blinks on social media, "ding", "ding", "ding" all throughout the day.
How do you receive voice mail and write texts on that thing?
I find it stressful when my phone would ring while driving, when there's no roadside area to park and check the message or call. Now I switch it to the night time sleep mode while driving, in a meeting or doing anything particularly important. I assume numerous road accidents are caused by mobiles ringing, texting while driving and the idiots who check messages at traffic lights. Put the phone down and watch the surroundings, taking a life because of a text is fd.
They have an Indiegogo page to bring out the 2nd light phone which they say will have alarm clock and texting. I can't see any mention of voicemail.
......... Oh ..... there's two.
Just remember the phone should be 3g or 4g as 2g has closed down in Aus, and probably everywhere else.

I totally support simplification and minimalism.
I wish I was that popular They have a version, so they say that will have texting. You're right the Nokia 3310 3G remake should do the same job, plus it has battery standby for up to a month and is colourful.
My friends are a walking example of mobile phone app addiction.

"I have had an astonishingly wide range of roles," the easy‐going, almond‐eyed, 39‐year‐old actor said the other day in his Essex House suite. "But I never went out seeking a lot of different roles, they just came along, and I welcome them, I enjoy them. I consider myself a mongrel, and I think I can play anything. I've always wanted to play a Mexican. Here, I'll do my Mexican bandit for you: "Hey, Greengo, a‐ha . . ." He laughs.
But by far the most demanding of his varied parts, he said, is the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. role, which he has been playing in cities around the country since last April. "To me, King was the Christ figure of the 20th century, just as Hitler was the antiChrist," he said, "At first, I didn't know how I should play him. But then I decided not to do an imitation of King, because I think it's a mistake trying to take all your energy and do an imitation. You lose a lot of the emotional experiences that people go through.
Indeed, at a rehearsal the other day with Judyann Elder, who plays Coretta King, the 6‐foot, 177‐pound Williams showed no signs of imitating either the voice or mannerisms or appearance of the slain black civil rights leader. He was just, well, Billy Dee Williams, in a humorous scene in which Dr. King meets his wife‐to‐be on a blind date in Boston, and immediately tells her she has the four things he's always wanted in a wife: character, intelligence, personality and beauty. "Like Napoleon, I've met my Waterloo," he says, kneeling in front of her.
"You know, a lot of people didn't want me to play this role," said Williams, who was wearing a tan shirt, blue jeans and a small gold chain around his neck. "They thought because of the 'black Clark Gable' thing, I wasn't serious enough, that I was a personality. But I think I'm one of the few actors who can play the role. It requires an actor who is into all those esoteric, spiritual, cosmic places. Dr. King understood the connection between the political, the moral and the spiritual, and I think I do, too.
Williams, who two years ago turned down a screen version of Dr. King's life written by Abby Mann, said higher forces had "directed" him to do the stage version. "I went to an Armenian lady in California who reads tarot cards and coffee grounds," he said. "She said, 'I keep seeing this thing you're going to do, a religious leader leading thousands of people.' She told me the same thing when I went back six months later. Then my agent, Shelly Burger, came to me with the play and said I had to do it, and he's really all big bucks and very cynical. That, to me, was some sort of sign.
Does he have any objections that a white man, Robert Greenwald, conceived and directed "I Have a Dream," which is described as "a musical evening based on the words and writings of the late civil rights leader"?
In his latest film, "The Bingo Long Traveling All‐Stars and Motor Kings," a surprise summer hit about the black. baseball leagues of the 1930's, Williams plays the prototype of the legendary black pitcher, Satchel Paige. The film is strictly entertainment, but Williams thinks it has some value, too.
Although Williams doesn't quite have the lofty lifestyle one might expect from "the black Clark Gable"—he says he is a loner who lives in a "modest" four‐bedroom ranch‐style home in Hollywood with his third wife, Teruko, and their three children—he does like to be described in that manner.

The response to climate change from the Baha'i community
Submitted by Arthur Dahl on 30. May 2011 - 14:38
Dahl, Arthur Lyon
Baha'i Faith
The response to climate change from the Bahá'í community
presented at
IARU International Scientific Congress on Climate Change
Climate Change: Global Risks, Challenges and Decisions
Copenhagen, 10-12 March 2009
As climate change has emerged as an issue challenging the future of society, faith-based groups have joined many others in examining the role that their values and world perspectives can play in responding to climate change. This is particularly true of the Bahá'í community whose perspective on world unity naturally inclines it to support unified action. The International Environment Forum, a Baha'i-inspired organization for environment and sustainable development, has organized or co-sponsored a series of conferences and events on the ethical dimensions of, and the response to, climate change in Oxford, Ottawa and New York. These conferences aimed to motivate the public and Bahá'í communities to recognize the linkages between climate change and other priority issues such as development, gender balance, economic policies, education, community action and individual lifestyles, combining scientific approaches and the spiritual dimension. They defined an important role for faith-based communities in responding to the ethical challenges raised by climate change and proposed possible ways forward. The major conclusions will be summarized in the paper.
Reinforcing the message of science with ethics
THE BAHA'I COMMUNITY
The Baha'i Faith (http://www.bahai.org/) is the newest of the world religions and the second most geographically widespread after Christianity. Its central aim is the oneness of humanity, which naturally inclines it to support unified action, including the United Nations (where it has been accredited since 1948) and associated processes including the UNFCCC. One of its basic principles is the harmony of science and religion, so for many years, it has been particularly attentive to environmental and conservation issues, including climate change and its ethical dimensions.
The International Environment Forum (IEF) was founded in 1997 as a Baha'i-inspired professional organization for addressing the environment and sustainable development (https://iefworld.org/). Now with over 200 members in more than 50 countries, many with advanced degrees in environmental sciences, the IEF provides a platform for its members to explore the relationship between ethical and spiritual principles and the environmental challenges facing the world. The IEF functions as a virtual organization, using the Internet and the world wide web to network among its widespread membership. It organizes annual conferences on themes relevant to the environment and sustainability, and has been active in the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development. In 2002, it was accredited to the UN World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, where it participated in the Science Forum and organized several parallel activities. It is a partner in various educational activities such as the Certificate of Advanced Studies in Sustainable Development at the University of Geneva, and contributes to the European Union's Consumer Citizenship Network (http://www.hihm.no/concit/).
With the rising urgency of action to respond to climate change, the IEF naturally began to focus on the issue with several conferences and other events relating the science to broader social and ethical considerations. These activities aimed to motivate the public and Bahá'í communities to recognize the linkages between climate change and other priority issues such as development, gender balance, economic policies, education, community action and individual lifestyles, combining scientific approaches and the spiritual dimension. They defined an important role for faith-based communities in responding to the ethical challenges raised by climate change in harmony with science, and proposed possible ways forward. The major conclusions are summarized below, and full reports, papers, presentations and audio/video recordings are available on the IEF web site (https://iefworld.org/).
SCIENCE, FAITH AND GLOBAL WARMING: ARISING TO THE CHALLENGE
10th IEF Conference, Oxford University, September 2006
This was the 10th IEF annual conference, organized in partnership with the Bahá'í Agency for Social and Economic Development of the United Kingdom (https://iefworld.org/conf10.htm). The conference considered climate change from scientific, economic, social, gender, development and community perspectives. Speakers included Dr. Halldor Thorgeirsson, Deputy Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, Dr. Augusto Lopez-Claros, then Chief Economist at the World Economic Forum, and various scientists and academics. One of the papers at the conference on "Climate Change and its Ethical Challenges" was later published in The Baha'i World 2005-2006, the official record of the Baha'i community. (https://iefworld.org/ddahl07a.htm).
The conference placed the failure of present institutions to address climate change in the larger perspective of social divisions and fundamental imbalances in present society. Climate change is a consequence of our materialistic economy and consumer society. Unity is an essential prerequisite for action, accepting the oneness of humankind and our fundamental responsibility for environmental sustainability. There is a common ground for all religions to strengthen the ethical framework for responses to climate change. In the face of the disproportionate impact on the poor and developing countries, a North-South community is required. There are significant gender differences, with women both more vulnerable to climate change, and with strengths to respond, so gender issues should be taken into account in climate change. Given the local-global links between energy use and climate change, there was a lack of global energy governance, and a need for a fundamental shift in the material structures of society. The policy framework established by governments for both economic and environmental policies was important, with a high correlation between commitment to the environment and business competitiveness. The conference concluded with workshops on the importance of the community level and individual change to create opportunities for business change. As one speaker put it, if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.
UN COMMISSION ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT - SIDE EVENT 2007
THE ETHICAL DIMENSIONS OF CLIMATE CHANGE
This official side event on Monday 30 April 2007 was organized by the Bahá'í International Community with the Permanent Missions of Tuvalu and of the Marshall Islands, and co-sponsored by the UN Office of High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing States and Small Island Developing States (UN-OHRLLS); the UNEP Interfaith Partnership for the Environment; Rock Ethics Institute at Penn State University; International Environment Forum; and the NGO Committee on Sustainable Development. The event, held in the UN Building on the first day of CSD-15, filled the room with over 90 people, including the Minister and other delegation members from Tuvalu. There were presentations by H.E. Mr. Enele Sosene Sopoaga, Former Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Tuvalu to the UN, Mr. Om Pradhan of the UN-OHRLLS, Mr. Tony Barnston of the International Research Institute for Climate and Society, Columbia University; Mr. Don Brown of the Collaborate Program on the Ethical Dimensions of Climate Change, Rock Ethics Institute; Dr. Arthur Dahl of IEF; and Rabbi Lawrence Troster, Fellowship Programme Director of GreenFaith. The event was covered in full page articles in the two CSD newsletters, Outreach Issues for Tuesday, May 1, page 6 (download pdf from http://www.anped.org/index.php?part=112) and ENB on the side ( http://www.iisd.ca/csd/csd15/enbots/pdf/enbots0511e.pdf) and video recordings of all the speakers were posted on YouTube ( http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=martha04032). An article was also published in One Country ( http://www.onecountry.org/e191/e19104as_CSD_story.html). The event brought to the attention of governments the work being done by both academic and faith-based groups to explore the ethical questions relevant to the climate change negotiations and the role of ethical principles in finding a basis for agreement.
RESPONDING TO CLIMATE CHANGE: SCIENTIFIC REALITIES, SPIRITUAL IMPERATIVES
11th IEF Conference, Ottawa, Canada, October 2007
This conference was held in collaboration with the Bahá'í Community of Canada (https://iefworld.org/conf11.htm). It explored the relationship between ethical and spiritual principles and the practical actions of individuals and communities facing global environmental change. The location was chosen because Arctic communities are some of the first to be severely impacted by climate change, and an ethical and spiritual approach can help them to cope with the forced transformation of their environment and lifestyle. Speakers included scientists such as Professor John Stone, a committee Vice-Chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Dr. Arthur Dahl (Switzerland) and Dr. Sylvia Karlsson (Finland), theologians such as Prof. Heather Eaton and Rev. Dr. Ted Reeve, and representatives of civil society and indigenous communities.
Based on the clear evidence of the science, the focus was on the moral responsibility to act to prevent further climate change. The adaptation argument was not morally defensible, as illustrated by the profound impacts on Inuit life and culture. The general population was way ahead of governments in their appreciation of this. The inertia of the world industrial economy was creating great vulnerability to the collapse of civilization. For example, how can we maintain and feed the world population without the energy subsidy from fossil fuels? There is a need for new ethical foundations for a just social order with an economy that is altruistic and cooperative, creating employment and eliminating poverty.
Religions have much to offer in the transformation of self, social and ecological ethics, and reconnecting with the sacred in the beauty and elegance of the natural world. Religions are in transformation and need to become scientifically literate, re-examining their world views, seeing our interdependence and the interweaving of matter and spirit. There is a need for a spiritual reawakening to the earth.
Energy poverty is due to the unequal distribution of fossil fuels, but renewables are everywhere. While governments have resisted international energy governance, it was needed to mediate conflicts, facilitate the transition to renewables, and address global disparities. National energy governance should focus on rules and regulations, investment patterns and subsidies. Governments face a number of ethical questions, and should draw on the relevant spiritual principles or values. The energy sector is closed, male-dominated, and corrupt because so much money is available. There is a lack of trust and trustworthiness that makes agreement difficult.
Presentations explored business opportunities in the response to climate change, and faith-based actions like greening sacred spaces. Individuals should learn to live with less energy, and many practical examples were discussed. It was necessary to recognize the links between environmental choices and faith teachings, and to develop moral capabilities such as empathy, sufficiency, courage and diversity of response, including through the education of children.
One result of the conference was a letter from the Canadian national Baha'i administrative body to all its local communities calling attention to the pressing global challenge of climate change and asking them to demonstrate ever-increasing sensitivity to environmental issues in the design and implementation of community activities.
Other IEF conferences have considered topics relevant to climate change such as education for sustainable development and lifestyle changes that would help to reduce carbon footprints. For its 2008 conference in the Netherlands in partnership with the European Bahá'í Business Forum (http://ebbf.org), it considered "Growth or Sustainability? Defining, Measuring and Achieving Prosperity" (https://iefworld.org/conf12.htm), with climate change as one of the major drivers for a new look at the purpose and functions of business incorporating a values-based approach.
THE MULTIPLE DIMENSIONS OF CLIMATE CHANGE
Baha'i Conference on Social and Economic Development, Orlando, Florida, December 2008
The whole Saturday morning of this annual conference was devoted to climate change, with presentations on the science of climate change (Dr. Arthur Dahl), the political dimensions (Dr. Halldor Thorgeirsson), the involvement of the Baha'i International Community (Tahirih Naylor-Thimm) and the response of the Canadian Baha'i community (Duncan Hanks), followed by a panel response to audience questions. The full audio recordings are available on the conference and IEF web sites ( http://www.bcca.org/ief/el/elpresent.htm#ClimateChange).
FURTHER ACTION
The Baha'i International Community is now preparing a Seven Year Plan of Action on Climate Change reflecting a Baha'i perspective as part of an initiative of the Alliance of Religions and Conservation and the United Nations Development Programme for a joint presentation of the response of religions to climate change in the lead up to the Copenhagen Climate Conference in December.

One of the most iconic and historically important buildings in Edinburgh has been registered on the digital, map-based Land Register of Scotland.
St Giles' Cathedral's property title has moved from the 400-year-old General Register of Sasines onto the modern, map-based land register.
The registration will help complete the land register, which is compiled and maintained by Registers of Scotland (RoS) and will provide a full picture of who owns what across the country.
The land register is a public record of land and property ownership in Scotland, and is due to replace the sasine register by 2024. At present, over 63 per cent of property titles, relating to just over 30 per cent of Scotland's land mass, are on the register.
"St Giles' and the Church of Scotland welcome the Land Register of Scotland initiative, which will provide clarity on the ownership of land across the country. St Giles' is a working church, but is also an iconic building at the heart of the capital, welcoming over a million visitors a year to enjoy the history, architecture and craftsmanship of the building.
St Giles' has been firmly at the heart of Edinburgh life since its founding in 1124. It has associations with John Knox and played a key role in the Reformation.
Registers of Scotland (RoS) is the non-ministerial government department responsible for compiling and maintaining 18 public registers.
These relate to land, property, and other legal documents.
RoS has been asked by Scottish Ministers to complete the land register by 2024, creating a national asset for Scotland that should make future transactions on land and property easier, faster and less expensive.

DARQ Complete Edition Review – To Sleep, Perchance to Dream
Nightmares are the perfect subject for a horror game, but puzzles within dreams can often be difficult to get right. After all, nearly everything goes in dream logic, and the basis for dreams leaves you with endless possibilities. What works in the real world may not work in a dream, or it could behave completely different.
Now that I've tied your brain into a knot, let's talk about DARQ Complete Edition, a horror-tinged puzzler for PS5 that combines the base game with two DLCs. As a young boy trying to survive his terrifying dreams, should you follow him into the dark, or should you just leave him be? Let's find out!
A Game About Nightmares Where Dream Logic Reigns Supreme
DARQ Complete Edition is a game about a boy named Lloyd who has recently become adept at lucid dreaming. Unfortunately for him, his dreams on a nightly basis are consistently nightmares that put him in twisted environments and force him to face terrifying creatures to survive the night.
That's about as far as the story goes here. On the one hand, I like the open-ended nature of the gameplay, and to its credit, the style and atmosphere are excellent. The lack of story also plays well into the pacing, allowing you to quickly jump from one night to the next since there's not anything to do in Lloyd's house area.
It's a double-edged sword though, because the superb style and atmosphere beg explanations. How did he become so good at manipulating his dreams? Where are his parents? Shouldn't somebody replace those boards with an actual door in the stairwell? The game never offers any real answers or context behind everything, but the ending of the main game and the two DLCs do offer plenty of fertile ground for theories when you sit back and take it all in.
For fans of games like Limbo, Inside, or Little Nightmares, DARQ Complete Edition is a game that has as much or as little story as you'd like based on your own takeaway. The game never tells you what it's about, but it's clear that it was crafted to convey some sort of meaning. It's not a style that works for everyone, but for me I enjoy a little more story or context where possible. I'm not above speculation, and I enjoy it, but I felt like DARQ Complete Edition could have left a few more breadcrumbs to round out its narrative.
Story aside, DARQ Complete Edition is a puzzle game at heart, with some light stealth mechanics throughout each chapter. The base game isn't terribly long, but the addition of DLCs in this package helps things feel more fleshed out. The puzzles themselves are usually spread across the level, requiring you to gather the correct items or navigate via switches and levers.
One particularly mind-bending aspect of DARQ Complete Edition is the way you can walk along walls or ceilings at your leisure. The way LLoyd presses his hand against the wall just before you press X and watch the world rotate around you never gets old. This also plays well into the environments, which often allow you to adjust your perspective backwards or forwards, alongside your ability to walk in every direction and on any surface in a lot of cases.
Puzzles are solid without ever feeling unfair. Dream logic does play a roll, but I was able to make the leaps mentally without too much trouble. A letter T, for example, makes sense as a lever, while it's not outside the realm of reason for a wristwatch to become a bridge in the right scenario.
The stealth in the game makes sense from a horror perspective, but in many of the cases I didn't find it to be that enjoyable. This is mostly due to enemies moving quite slow, resulting in you sitting quietly in your hiding spot until they pass without too much fear.
Other enemy types did work for me though, particularly the lampshade creatures and the the woman in a wheel chair. I won't give away their secrets, but suffice to say their mechanics served to ratchet up the tension in a good way that added to the overall horror quite well.
While I wouldn't call DARQ Complete Edition a terrifying gane, I would say that it's scary, thanks to the aofrementioned enemies and the thick atmosphere. I would have appreciated a little more story and context, along with deeper puzzles and stealth, but there's no denying that what's here is mostly ingenious and engaging throughout.
Your Choice of Presentation, but Both Look Great
Playing DARQ Complete Edition on PS5 offers you the choice of two modes: 4K / 30FPS and a 60FPS option in the settings.The difference isn't huge, but you do notice the sharper resolution on a big screen. That being said, the 60FPS mode, as they often are, is incredibly smooth. The game performs like a dream in either mode, so it's really personal preference.
While the adaptive triggers aren't used at all on the DualSense, the haptic feedback and overall vibration aspect of the game is well done and adds immersion (you'll need to turn it on in the settings though). Despite my thoughts on the story and gameplay, the presentation here is superb, with excellent animation and wonderful cuts between perspectives that give the game a unique visual identity.
Fans of horror games like Limbo or Little Nightmares will feel right at home playing DARQ Complete Edition, and for them it's an easy recommendation. While it doesn't quite hit those same highs, it's certainly worthy of being discussed in the same sentence as those genre titans, and well worth your time as a whole.

On Nigeria Movie Network, we would like to know if you agree with the said list, and also give you the opportunity to suggest your own Best Nollywood Actresses in 2014.
Charles Novia, a Nollywood film-maker and blogger, recently suggested his own five best Nollywood actresses of the just concluded year as reported by Leadership NG, which consists of Nse Ikpe Etim, Onyeka Onwenu, Omoni Oboli, Queen Nwokoye, and Kemi Lala Akindoju.
On Nse Ikpe Etim-Sule, "Sule falls in that category of silent but sure actresses whose works speak more than anything else."
On Onyeka Onwenu, "With a career in music which has spanned over 30 years, Onwenu's moonlighting to Nollywood seems to have finally found its artistic rewards in HOAYS."
On Omoni Oboli, "Two movies – Render to Ceaser and Being Mrs Elliott – which featured Omoni Oboli were enough to convince me that she deserves to be on this list. Watching the two movies, I could appreciate various levels of Oboli's acting abilities."
On Queen Nwokoye, "Queen Nwokoye is one of such worthy of mention for 2014. Whilst researching a bit more on her movies for 2014, I was authoritatively told that she is presently the most commercial actress in the Asaba movies, ever since Mercy Johnson went on maternity leave, with her movies selling in the millions."
On Kemi Lala Akindoju, "A lot of readers might not have seen Tunde Kelani's Dazzling Mirage, a film in which Lala Akindoju plays a young, frail, sickle-cell patient, Funmiwo. I watched the movie at a film festival in November and I was impressed with Lala's portrayal of the lead character."
Do you agree with the aforementioned list of Best 5 Nollywood Actresses of 2014? Who else do you think should have made the list, or not be on the list?
If you have an alternative list, which Nollywood Actresses made your list of Best Five Nollywood Actresses?

Hausa speakers in Nigeria now 120m– Communique
On December 1, 2016 12:36 pmIn Newsby akintayo eribake
The population of Hausa speakers in Nigeria has reached about 120 million, a colloquium has said.
This was contained in a communiqué issued on Thursday at the end of a one-day colloquium organised by the Department of African Languages and Cultures, Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria Kaduna State.
The communiqué, which was signed by Dr Balarabe Danladi and made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), said numerical strength, was a major consideration in which language becomes official.
"This is because, it has speakers all over the world and the speakers are grouped into native and non-native speakers.
"In Nigeria, native Hausa speakers exceed 70 million and non-native speakers who use Hausa as second language are likely to be between 40 and 50 million on a conservative estimate," it added.
The communiqué said it had also been observed that more than one-third of the total population of Nigeria, understood Hausa language, and that for being widely spread, within and outside Nigeria had established the fact that "Hausa is a lingua-franca in Nigeria.
"This position has made it easier for Government to promote Hausa to the level of an official language in Nigeria.
"The argument is that a language that acquires lingua-franca status demands little effort from the government and scholars to qualify as an official language", it noted.
It said Hausa language is used in Mosques, Churches, business transactions and a host of other social and political activities.
The communiqué said Hausa language had international recognition which served as a good index to initiate the process of making it an official one.
It said Hausa had been recognised internationally in various spheres such as Microsoft, foreign universities, international media, Face book and other international works, and that adoption of indigenous language, particularly Hausa, would facilitate national growth and development. (NAN)

Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited v. Canadian Model Trains Inc. , British Columbia International Commercial Arbitration Centre, CIRA Dispute No. 00036 - by Eric Macramalla
Back to CDRP Cases
Domain Name: fordcanada.ca
OutCome: Transfer Granted
Response Filed: No
Panellist: W.A. Derry Millar
The Complainant was the well-known car manufacturer and the registered owner of numerous trade-mark registrations consisting, or comprised of, the element FORD. Prior to the date of the disputed domain name registration, the Complainant was the owner of the registered trade names Ford of Canada and Ford du Canada and stated that it was commonly known by Canadians and by the media as FORD CANADA in both English and French speaking Canada. The Complainant was also the owner of the ford.ca domain name and the user of the fordcanada.com domain name, registered for its benefit by its parent company in the United States.
The Registrant was an Ontario corporation involved in the sale of model trains. It actively promoted its business on the Internet at modeltrains.com. Upon registering the disputed domain name, fordcanada.ca was parked with its Registrar, Internic.ca Corp.
Upon becoming aware of the Registrant's registration, the Complainant attempted to contact the Registrant, but encountered difficulty as it had provided the WHOIS database with an incorrect address. Ultimately, the Complainant was able to contact the Registrant. Its President stated that the Registrant had no interest in using the domain name and acknowledged that Ford Canada referred to the Complainant. The President offered to sell the name and when the Complainant refused to purchase the name, he offered to transfer it for $1000 to be paid to a local sports association of which he was a member. Several months after this correspondence, the Registrant renewed its registration of the domain name and resolved it to a customized portal, which included links that competed with the Complainant. The site appeared to be the Registrar's default site.
The Registrant did not file a Response to the Complaint, and accordingly the Complainant elected as per Rule 6(5) of the CIRA Domain Name Dispute Resolution Rules to reduce the three member Panel to a single member Panel.
Under the CIRA Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy ("CDRP"), a successful Complainant must establish that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar with a mark in which it had rights, that the name was registered in bad faith and that the Registrant does not have a legitimate interest in the domain name.
With respect to confusing similarity, the Panel began by assessing whether the Complainant had rights in the FORD CANADA mark. It found that the Complainant had rights in the FORD mark, although it was unclear when the trade name Ford Canada was adopted by the Complainant, as it was registered as a trade name three years after the domain registration. Given the longstanding commonplace use of FORD CANADA as well as the Complainant's rights in fordcanada.com, the Panel held that on a balance of probabilities, FORD CANADA qualified as a mark in which the Complainant has rights under the CDRP.
The Panel then applied the test enunciated in Canada v. Bedford (BCICAC, CIRA Dispute No. 00011). It found that a person knowing the Complainant's marks FORD, FORD DU CANADA, FORD OF CANADA and FORD CANADA, and having an imperfect recollection of them, would likely mistaken the domain name fordcanada.ca as being associated with the Complainant.
Next, the Panel held that the disputed domain name was registered in bad faith under paragraph 3.7(a) of the CDRP. This finding was based on several factors. Firstly, the domain name was parked until the Registrant was contacted by the Complainant. Secondly, the President of the Registrant had acknowledged that Ford Canada referred to the Complainant. Thirdly, the Registrant had offered to sell the name for a price significantly higher than the cost of registering or transferring the name and when informed the Complainant would not purchase the name, offered to transfer it for a donation to a local sports association with which the President was associated. Lastly, upon renewal, the domain name was made to point to a customized portal displaying competitor links.
The Panel held that the Registrant had no legitimate interest in the domain name as its use does not satisfy any of the criteria set out in paragraph 3.6 of the CDRP.
Accordingly, the Panel ordered the domain name transferred to the Complainant.

So much of my twenties I spent curled up in a ball, both physically and emotionally. While the cognitive part of my brain was being well exercised through my studies, the rest of me was largely overlooked as an insignificance: my body and inner self tightly wound and closed to the world, save for sporadic outbursts.
I thought my resulting depression was an integral and irreversible part of me. I felt helpless, trapped and slightly tragic, like a badly-written heroine in a 1930s film-noir. This was my lot in life, I thought; this was just what I somehow had to muddle-through, time and time again, hoping that one day, I may be rescued or otherwise find my salvation.
It wasn't until I began practicing yoga that things started to change for me. Although I'd used my body, of course, I'd never really explored its possibilities—and yoga allowed me to do this, in a safe, supportive and compassionate environment. Moreover, trying different styles and teachers, and focussing on different aspects of the yoga model, really helped me to begin to see the Bigger Picture.
And I started to open up. Literally—physically, mentally, emotionally. I gradually let go of rigidities. My outlook broadened. I slowly became more accepting of both myself and others.
Yet still I relied upon and trusted in my brain, first and foremost. I didn't yet understand that as beings we have multiple intelligences, all equally vital to our health, vibrancy and sense of purpose. Arrogantly, I assumed my cognitive intelligence to be superior to all else, and so I unconsciously smothered the flowering of my other centres, keeping them well and truly muted.
Naturally, then, I suffered. And of course, I failed to understand why! As my journey took me into deeper and darker forests—testing my resilience, patience and sanity on all levels—I kept wondering where I'd gone wrong! Was I not a good person? Did I not help others enough? Was I not setting myself as an inspiring example? Surely I deserved better than this...?
And so I went through the very worst: the most severe and prolonged ill-health filled with unrelenting pain, discomfort and anguish. My body rendered useless and my brain utterly zapped from chronic insomnia, I had no choice but to look to my other resources. As my external world slowly closed in on me from all angles (financial hardship, eviction, miscarriage, redundancy), threatening to stamp me out completely, there was little left for me but to shed my shell and open up.
I opened at the close. Just at the exact moment I was about to be extinguished forever—in body, mind and spirit—I surrendered.
I opened up to vulnerability—even though this was surely the end! I opened up to possibility—even though there appeared to be none! I opened up to opportunity—even though it seemed fruitless! I opened up to the idea of something beyond my current reality—even though all my senses told me that was crazy!
How tragic that it took me this long.
And yet many never reach this realisation. We stay inside our tightly and intricately woven shells, with layer upon layer of comfortable insulation, and we pray that nothing, and nobody, will harm us. We turn our backs to the world at every turn: hunching our shoulders, crossing our arms and legs and slumping in the middle, all to protect our 'soft centre'. We refuse to see beyond our current, chosen reality, regardless of the information thrown at us.
It really needn't be so difficult, or scary. Baring our vulnerabilities in this world is precisely what protects us the most, because then our hopes and fears are all laid out, self-evident and accounted for. It is the unknown, and the unquantifiable, that scares us the most: the monster under the bed; the ghost in the attic; the creepy-crawlies in the box.
Let your body do the talking: Drop down out of your head and tune right into your body—its needs, wants, desires. Practice listening to how it wants to move, what it hungers for most (beneath the superficial cravings), give it space to feel uninhibited, and like it matters again.
Pay attention to your breath: At every opportunity, become a fascinated observer of your breath. Without thinking you have to change it, just let yourself be mesmerised by the natural, autonomous passage of the inhale and exhale. Notice how each breath makes you feel in both body and mind.
Watch your thoughts: Knowing that you are not the sum of your thoughts, and that your thoughts are not your equal, just watch them. Imagine them playing out on a movie screen in your mind, and feel amused by them. The movie may seem very real, but it's not. Your reality is what you choose to make it, so let those thoughts come and go, without pushing or pulling. Just watch!
Trust your gut: Practise listening to that deep, wise part of you that really knows what is best for you in every moment—from food choices to major decisions. It's there for everyone, but it takes practice to hear it loudly and clearly. Distinguish between a love answer (light, expansive, exciting) and a fear answer (heavy, constricted, a sense of doom) and make bold choices according to these sensations. Trust your gut implicitly.
Have faith: I was brought up an atheist and have always struggled with this, even in my non-religious yoga practice. But I've realised that having faith is really about trusting in yourself, and your own aligned journey. Practice daily gratitude for everything wonderful in your life, look regularly to the Bigger Picture—for both yourself and others—and know that by acting from a place of love and abundance, you can and will move mountains. Stop second-guessing and allowing ego to override good choices—just have faith!
All we need to do is soften, breathe, and open.

More Women Are Using Marijuana During Pregnancy, Report Says
By Jamie Ducharme
Fewer women are smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol during pregnancy, but more are using marijuana, according to new federal data.
Between 2002 and 2016, the percentage of pregnant women who reported smoking cigarettes while expecting fell significantly: from 17.5% to about 10%, according to a research letter published Monday in JAMA Pediatrics. Alcohol use also fell modestly during this time period, from nearly 10% to about 8.5%. But cannabis use among pregnant women — while still relatively rare — is on the rise, increasing from almost 3% of pregnant women to almost 5%.
Those figures were based on responses to the National Survey of Drug Use and Health. About 12,000 pregnant women ages 18 to 44 responded to the survey between 2002 and 2016; roughly 3,500 of these women were in their first trimester of pregnancy, a critical time for fetal development.
While the new paper did not assess the reasons behind substance use trends, the uptick in cannabis use likely has to do with relaxed marijuana laws across the country. Medical marijuana is now legal in the majority of U.S. states, while recreational marijuana use is legal in nine states, which has fueled a significant increase in the number of Americans who report using the drug. (The researchers note that past studies have come up with different rates of marijuana use during pregnancy, likely because of differing study methodologies; even still, the recorded trends are similar.)

Meanwhile, the decline in smoking cigarettes while pregnant corresponds with an overall decrease in the number of Americans who smoke. The percentage of smokers in the U.S. hit a new low recently, dropping from 45.1 million cigarette users in 2005 to 36.5 million, or about 15% of the population, in 2015. The researchers did find, however, that decreases in smoking were less pronounced among certain subgroups of pregnant women, including black women, women ages 26 to 44 and those who did not finish high school.
Alcohol use has remained fairly steady in recent years, both among pregnant women and American adults in general. While research shows that heavy drinking during pregnancy is associated with infant health risks, namely fetal alcohol disorder, experts are still divided on the acceptable amount of drinking for pregnant women. Some doctors maintain that they should not drink at all, and others suggest that light drinking is likely safe.
There is far less research on the health effects of marijuana, but in general, the CDC and other public health organizations have warned expectant mothers not to use the drug while pregnant, due to potential developmental harms for infants. Similar warnings exist for smoking cigarettes while pregnant.
The authors of the new paper echoed these warnings. "Greater public awareness regarding the consequences of prenatal cannabis exposure in offspring health is necessary," they write.

Taylor Swift 'Out Of The Woods' Music Video
Taylor Swift's sixth music video from her hit alum 1989 for 'Out Of The Woods' premiered last night at 10:50pm on 'New Year's Rockin' Eve.' After posting a few stills from the video over the past few days, Taylor's fans could not wait to see what visual masterpiece Taylor would produce this time and, boy, did she deliver.
Firstly, this is my first blog post of 2016! I would just like to wish you all a year filled with love and joy and say that I hope your year is everything you could only ever dream it to be.
'Out Of The Woods' has always been one of my favourite songs from 1989. It's catchy but also has deep messages, which were all portrayed in the music video, if you looked hard enough.
I for one admittedly over-analyse songs and music videos far too much but I can't help it! I guess this comes from always being an English lover at school. I really enjoy trying to depict the message from videos and found it rather easy to do so from 'Out Of The Woods.'
If you haven't already watched the video, please do so by clicking HERE before proceeding to read the rest of this blog post!
The video begins with the words 'SHE LOST HIM' and then shows Taylor standing alone on a beach, looking lost and vulnerable, setting us up to believe she doesn't know who she is after separating from the man she loves and that the video is going to show her as weak. She is wearing a long, blue dress, representing the love that she lost and can't let go of.
Branches and vines then begin to grow from the sand which, cleverly spell out the words 'Out Of The Woods,' but blink and you'll miss it!
Taylor is chased by foxes (a sneaky but smart reference to her other song from 1989 'I Know Places' and its lyric "they are the hunters we are the foxes, and we run") which represent the media and the public, trying to catch a glimpse of her relationship. They try and try to grab onto her dress, her love, attempting to take a peek behind closed doors and gain knowledge about something they really know nothing about, but Taylor doesn't want them to, she wants the love to be private. She then falls down, perhaps representing a time when she let her guard down for a moment and allowed outsiders to know more about her love, maybe believing that speculators will back off if she did, but no, the foxes continue to chase her, showing nothing will ever be enough for them and they just always need to know more.
Taylor then, ridiculously beautifully, falls into the snow, the icy scene representing how cold a love can get. She tears the necklace, given to her by her love, from her neck. If you have seen Taylor's music video for 'Style,' you will have seen her holding onto that necklace, however, now, we see her throwing it away as she is finally learning to let go. At this point, she also no longer seems to care about the foxes chasing her. She has learnt to tolerate them and has accepted that people will always strive to know more about you than they deserve to. Taylor attempts to grab the necklace as it falls from the cliff (a reference to a lyric from 'Wonderland,' "I reach for you but you were gone, I knew you had to go back home") but then pulls her arm away, now knowing the love has to go and it will kill her to hold on any longer. She shows, sometimes, we have to let go of the thing we love the most in the world, no matter how much it may hurt. She watches it fall, then jumps into the ocean.
I don't know about you, but I see Taylor smirking as she plummets into the sea. Once again, she attempts to reach out (a big reference to 'Clean' and the lyric "the water filled my lungs I screamed so loud but no one heard a thing") but no one comes to help her, perhaps representing a difficult time in a relationship when she needed saving. When she realises that no one is going to help her. she floats freely in the water, as she is 'clean.' She is then seen to be lying on the land, free from the ocean, showing how she had to drown to be pure.
We see Taylor face yet another battle. She becomes frozen as her hands are covered in icicles. Could this represent how she is being portrayed in the media? As icy, cold, spiteful and manipulating? Yet, Taylor herself is frozen, she can't move, showing how, no matter how hard she tries, she cannot change people's perceptions of her. She is helpless and is also frozen in a love she can't bring herself to try and escape from.
Then, Taylor unfreezes. The look on her face as she does this is one of determination and strength and this expression continues as she drags herself through the mud.
Her movements seem restricted by the mud, once again emphasising the fact that she is stuck in a toxic relationship and is being controlled by outsiders. Yet, her face remains strong and she doesn't stop trying to pull herself through.
As her arm reaches out, we see her no longer covered in mud, but being elevated by the branches wrapped around her. The branches, representing the relationship she should no longer be in and the public, trying to trap her in that relationship, yet they are also lifting her up towards the light, they are helping her to become a better person without realising it.
After this, a close up of Taylor's eye fills the screen. This could be showing how she has finally come to realise what she needs to do, that she needs to let go and she has to save herself. As this moment of realisation occurs, the video proceeds to show Taylor having flashbacks of the relationship, as all of the times she fell down previously are reshown. It was an important relationship in her life, how could she just forget it? Of course, she will have flashbacks of it. Although, it could also be showing how the public just cannot let go of this relationship she was in. It is brought into everything she does, so how could they expect her to let go if they can't?
As she is having these flashbacks, we see Taylor battling her final element, fire. She is standing in her own fire, because the two are angry, the two people in the relationship can't quite communicate what they are feeling to each other. Yet, the fire is burning, the love somehow made her feel so alive, although it may have been wrong.
One of the final things we get the pleasure of witnessing is Taylor picking herself up all of the times she fell down, no matter what situation she was in or what element she was battling. She was damaged beyond repair yet, somehow, managed to find the strength to put herself back together.
The final scene of the music video is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Taylor leaves the woods, she leaves that relationship, she leaves behind all of those feelings she had, and arrives back where she started, on the beach. Yet, it isn't the love she once believed she couldn't live without waiting for her, it is herself. We don't see Taylor and her former flame ride off into the sunset together. We see the woods disintegrate behind her and her walk back over to the person she used to be. The woods fall apart as the relationship is over and Taylor has moved on and the woods have done their job in the form of making Taylor into who she ought to be.
Taylor reaches out to her former self as she has found who she needs to be. Her dress is short as the weight of the relationship has been lifted, yet the dress of who she used to be is repaired and beautiful. She found herself and the noise of the outside is gone.
She shows how important it is to never lose yourself for the sake of something you love.
That was my interpretation of the music video. I would love to know if you have any other ideas so we can swap notes! I felt as though this music video was too good not to write about and it certainly deserves way more appreciation than many may think. Taylor's videos are always so much more than videos; they are like mini movies, this one in particular. The camera work, settings, everything has been planned out so carefully. Just like in a film, everything in a Taylor Swift music video is there for a reason, whether you realise it or not. This music video stars an exceptionally smart lady who sure knows how to bring a song to life.
There are many messages behind this video, but the key one being that you have to fight your battles yourself. In the video for 'Bad Blood,' we see Taylor fighting with an army, which we do sometimes need, yet, here, she picks herself up, she fights the demons herself and, by doing that, she finds herself and becomes who she should have been all along. She shows it is okay to lose yourself if it means you learn from it.
Taylor, thank you for such a stunning video. I am unable to put into words how many Goosebumps it gave me, how many tears I cried when I first watched it, or how many times I have already hit 'replay.' You never fail to create works of art for both our ears and our eyes. The 1989 era has been a magical one indeed and you have ended it on the highest of highs. Bless you.
She lost him, but she found herself and, somehow, that was everything.
Let me know your thoughts on the video and what your favourite songs from 1989 are! <3
Love, Emily :) xx

Der 14. Eesti Laul fand vom 20. November 2021 bis zum 12. Februar 2022 in Tallinn statt und war der estnische Vorentscheid für den Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Turin (Italien). Austragender Sender war wie immer Eesti Rahvusringhääling (ERR). Der Sänger Stefan gewann mit seinem Lied Hope.

Format

Konzept
Das Konzept aus dem Jahre 2019 wurde 2022 durch ein neues Konzept ersetzt. Es nahmen nun 40 Beiträge am Eesti Laul teil. Diese wurden aufgeteilt auf zehn Lieder pro Viertelfinale. Fünf Lieder pro Viertelfinale erreichten das Halbfinale, drei davon wurden vom Televoting ausgesucht, während die restlichen zwei von einer Jury ausgewählt wurden. In den zwei Halbfinales treten dann insgesamt je zehn Interpreten gegeneinander an. Davon qualifizieren sich je fünf Beiträge für das Finale. Die fünf Finalisten werden zu 50 % per Televoting und zu 50 % per Juryvoting entschieden. Im Finale treten somit zehn Teilnehmer in zwei Abstimmungsrunden gegeneinander an. Zu 50 % Televoting und zu 50 % Juryvoting werden dann die besten drei Teilnehmer ermittelt, die am Superfinale teilnehmen. Im Superfinale entscheiden dann lediglich die Zuschauer den Sieger und somit den estnischen Beitrag zum Eurovision Song Contest 2022.

Durch die Auswirkung der COVID-19-Pandemie, fanden die Viertelfinales und die beiden Halbfinales ohne Live-Publikum statt. Am 8. Februar 2022 gab ERR bekannt, dass das Finale hingegen mit einem begrenzten Publikum von 3.000 Zuschauern stattfinden soll.

Beitragswahl

OVERVIEW OF RECENT SC JUDGEMENT: MARTHANDA VARMA V. STATE OF KERALA (PADMANABHASWAMY TEMPE CASE)
Author: Muskan Jain, IV Year of B.A.,LL.B(Hons) from National Law University, Vizag.
The division bench of the Supreme Court headed by Justice Uday Umesh Lalit and Justice Indu Malhotra on July 13, 2020 overturned the Kerala High Court's decision with regard to the management and ownership of the Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple (herein referred to as a temple) situated at Tiruvananthapuram, Kerala.
The temple is one of the 108 holy temples associated with Vaishnavism in the country. The Supreme Court ruled as per the customary law that the royal family even after the death of the the last ruler had the right to manage the property of the deity at the temple as Shebait. Also, the court in this decision further delegated the temple administration to an administrative committee.
HISTORICAL AND LEGAL BACKGROUND
Before 1947, the control and management of all the princely states of Travancore and Cochin were under the Travancore and Cochin Devaswom boards. Later, there was a covenant signed in the year 1949 which devolved the management of the temple in the hands of trustees, the descendants of the Travancore royal family.
Till 1991 the management was in the hands of Chithira Thirunal Balavarma Varma, the last ruler of Travancore and continued to be till the 2011 decision of Kerala HC headed by Justice C N Ramachandran Nair and Justice Surendra Mohan, which narrowed the meaning of Ruler and directed the Kerala State Government to set up a trust to control Assets and management of the temple. Answering the issue regarding the definition of ruler, the High Court further stated that "Ruler is not a status that could be acquired through succession."
However, the Apex Court on May 2, 2011 stayed the High Court finding and directed that kallara (Treasure) A and B of the temple cannot be opened unless permitted by the Supreme Court of India.
ANALYSIS OF SC VERDICT
The following was held in the judgement by the Supreme Court of India;
Firstly, the bench refrained to address the issue regarding the violation of Article 25(1), 26 and 29 of the Constitution of India because it was not an issue before the High Court.
Secondly, that Article VIII of the covenant and Section 62(2) of Travancore Cochin Hindu Religious Institutions Act, 1950 (here in referred to as TC Act) protect traditional relationship between the royal family and the temple. And hence, it doesn't abridge their status as shebait of the temple.
Generally, a Shebait is the one who controls and manages the endowed properties. (Here the temple was managed by the rulers) Hence, relying on various Judicial Pronunciationments, the Court held that "Mere factum that no emoluments are attached to the office of the Shebait would not make any difference to the character of right and interest of Shebait." Hence, the court recognised the relationship between the temple and the royal family as shebaits and the Shebaitship is to be vested in the royal family only.
Thirdly, with regard to the definition of ruler, the Court accepted that the ruler of Travancore had a crucial role and was the one who reconstructed the temple in 1686 after the major fire. The court also held that the meaning of Ruler under Section 18 (2) of TC Act is only to identify the person and cannot be used to determine the capacity of that person and the inclusive definition under Article 366 (22) of Constitution of India does not ipso facto apply to the provisions of TC Act.
Fourthly, Article 363 of the constitution does not bar the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court in this particular case. The article states about matters related to covenants and treaties which fall within the jurisdiction of the president of India. This was also rejected by placing reliance on the CJ Hidayatuallah's observations in the case where to apply Article 363 it should be under any of the two conditions; first being the dispute should be arising out of the covenant signed and second being the dispute must be regarding the right arising out of the constitution relating to covenant only. Since the questions involved in the present case no where come within these two parameters, there is no requirement to apply Article 363 of the constitution of India.
Fifthly, the appellant did not claim the temple as a private property and rather wants to manage the public temple as a trustee only. The court further stated that neither the 26th Amendment to the constitution of India (Abolition of Privy Purses) nor TC Act affect the management of the temple and their valuables, and it continues to be under the management of the ruler of Travancore. And relying on the judgment, held that the Sree Padamanbhaswamy temple is a public temple.
Finally, the principle of escheat is not applicable, and State Government cannot intervene in the present case until the line of succession of Shebaitship is prevailing.
Further, reading Section 18 of the Act, the administration of the temple shall be carried on by an executive officer appointed by the ruler. The court accepted that administration should be in the hands of an administrative committee, and this committee should comprise of a District Judge as the chairperson and a nominee of the ruler as well as a nominee of the government.
Under Section 20 of the Act, the Advisory Committee is appointed to advice the ruler in the matters related to policy. The Advisory Committee consists of Retired High Court Judge as chair person, a Chartered Accountant nominated by chairperson and trustee and a reputed person nominated by trustee.
The court here gave a balanced approach by delegating the administrative powers of Shebait without outraging the duties and functions of the ruler.
Therefore, the Supreme Court upheld the rights of the royal family as the Shebait of the temple. The death of the last ruler will not affect the rights of Shebait and will proceed as per the custom and TC Act.
The judgement strikes a balanced approach between the state's oversight and the temple's freedom. There is a a minimal role of the state and management still remains in the hands of the community.
The Apex Court did not go into the matter of opening of Kallara B and left it to the discretion of the Administrative Committee. Also the court refused to consider the Audit report submitted by former CAG Sri Vinod Rai by stating that this would lead to new facts for the first time in the apex court. The court could have recorded the findings by expanding the jurisdiction under Article 136 of the Constitution of India. The report would have determined the liability of the ruler if there was any mismanagement and misuse of the wealth of the temple which could further affect their claim of Shebaitship.

Matron Elfreida DoepkePrint Page
Plaque unveiled in memory of Elfreida Doepke who was matron of the Tumby Bay Hospital for twenty four years. Matron Doepke died in 1945.
Matron Doepke served in Belgium, France and England during World War One. She was initially a reliveing matron at Port Lincoln Hospital before accepting the position of Matron at Tumby Bay Hospital which she held for 24 years. She retired from the hospital due to faiing health in 1944 and was given a public farewll in the Tumby Bay Institute.
On Sunday afternoon a bronze plaque was unveiled at the entrance to the Tumby Bay Hospital by Dr. B. W. Wibberley, in memory of Matron Elfrieda E. M. Doepke, who successfully conducted the Tumby Bay Hospital for 24 years. Alongside the plaque, which was on a wooden pedestal, was a photograph of the late matron in the uniform of a sister of World War I. There was a representative gathering of local and district folk. The plaque bears the following inscription : —
"In Memory of ELFRIEDA E. M. DOEPKE, and in grateful recognition of her services as Matron of this Hospital, 1920-1944."
The chairman of the Hospital Board (Mr. J. K. Schramm) said that the name of Sister Doepke was well known and highly respected throughout the district. She had been the right hand pillar of the Board, and had given untiring service to the community. It was fitting that her memory be immortalised in the form of a plaque. The reason for holding the ceremony in the open was to save the staff cleaning mud from the premises which would have been inevitable ; however, the plaque would be placed on the wall of the entrance hall. It gave him great pleasure to introduce Dr. Wibberley and request him to unveil the memorial.
Dr. Wibberley expressed pleasure at being asked to take part in the ceremony. He said that during her 24 years' service, Sister Doepke saw the hospital grow from a small cottage-like building to the present modern 20-bed hospital, and during that period approximately 2,000 babies were born in the institution. Sister Doepke was able to do work which amazed the younger generation — she could cook, do the washing and cleaning, and was outstanding in her profession as a nurse, her life's work. It was to be regretted that after her retirement she had indifferent health. In appreciation of her long service it gave him much pleasure to unveil the plaque. After the singing of the National Anthem, the public were invited to inspect the plaque.

Tom Kitchin set to takeover Gleneagles afternoon tea series next month
Popular Perthshire resort Gleneagles has announced that Edinburgh-based Michelin Star Chef, Tom Kitchin, who started his career as a trainee chef at the iconic hotel, will offer the latest addition to its exclusive afternoon series next month.
Running from the 1st to the 7th of October, the new afternoon tea will take inspiration from the hearty and popular cuisine of Kitchin's Scran and Scallie gastropub in Stockbridge.
The Tom Kitchin Afternoon Tea is the third in a series of bespoke afternoon teas designed by acclaimed guest chefs, including Michelin Star Chef Andrew Fairlie, William Curley and Lady Claire Macdonald.
Bringing his 'From Nature to Plate' philosophy to Gleneagles, the chef's afternoon tea has been conceived as a celebration of his local roots and Scottish ingredients.
A spokesperson for the hotel said: "Brought to life by our team of expert pastry chefs, the afternoon tea is inspired by the fruitful provenance of the local area and will include hearty savoury treats such as steak pie, curried crayfish and a Cullen skink fish cake.
"The sweet pastries will comprise delicious, traditional miniature puddings including a lemon meringue pie and treacle tarts."
The Michelin-starred chef added that it was a "real honour to have been asked back to Gleneagles" and that he was looking forward to be able to put his own twist on the hotel's iconic afternoon tea menu.
He said: "Gleneagles is where I began my career as a young trainee chef at just 16 years of age, so it's a pleasure to be able to give something back. This afternoon tea is a true celebration of Scotland's natural larder and the flavours and ingredients available on Gleneagles' doorstep."
Tom is the youngest Scot to ever win a Michelin Star, aged just 29. Having been raised on the doorstep of Gleneagles by the shores of Loch Leven, Tom's homegrown talent was inspired by his local landscape and nurtured in Gleneagles' own kitchens when he was a trainee chef in the 1990s. He then earned his craft working for some of Europe's grand chefs. Tom has since gone on to open restaurants around Scotland's capital, including modern gastro pub, The Scran & Scallie and his eponymously named restaurant, The Kitchin, in The Shore area of Edinburgh.
• The Tom Kitchin Afternoon Tea is available between 1-7 October 2018 for £40 per person or £57.50 including a glass of rosé champagne. For more information and to make a reservation, visit www.gleneagles.com
