TV Sundram Iyengar and Sons Private Limited v. Media Society
The Complainant is TV Sundram Iyengar and Sons Private Limited of Madurai, India, represented by DePenning & DePenning, India.
The Respondent is Media Society of Los Angeles, California, United States of America ("United States"), represented by Perkins Coie, LLP, United States.
The disputed domain name <mytvs.com> is registered with Moniker Online Services, LLC (the "Registrar").
The Complaint was filed with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (the "Center") on September 12, 2017. On the same date, the Center transmitted by email to the Registrar a request for registrar verification in connection with the disputed domain name. On September 13, 2017, the Registrar transmitted by email to the Center its verification response confirming that the Respondent is listed as the registrant and providing the Respondent's contact details.
In accordance with the Rules, paragraphs 2 and 4, the Center formally notified the Respondent of the Complaint, and the proceedings commenced on September 15, 2017. In accordance with the Rules, paragraph 5, the due date for Response was October 5, 2017. At the Respondent's request, the due date for Response was extended to October 9, 2017. The Response was filed with the Center on October 9, 2017.
The Center appointed Dr. Clive N.A. Trotman as the sole panelist in this matter on October 18, 2017. The Panel finds that it was properly constituted. The Panel has submitted the Statement of Acceptance and Declaration of Impartiality and Independence, as required by the Center to ensure compliance with the Rules, paragraph 7.
The factual background of the Complainant is summarised from the Complaint.
The name of TVS Group, of which the Complainant is the holding company, is derived from the name of its founder Thirukkurungudi Vengadam Sundram Iyengar. The Complainant was established in 1911, and is a distributor of a wide range of vehicles and associated goods and services including commercial vehicles, multi-utility and sports utility vehicles, three-wheelers and cars. It is a distributor for Honda, Renault, Ashok Leyland, Mahindra & Mahindra, Daimler Chrysler and Volkswagen, and partners with international brands including Datsun, Michelin, Bosch, Nissan and 3M. The Complainant has three main divisions: TVS & Sons, Sundram Motors, and Madras Auto Service. The group is international and includes more than thirty companies, most of them including the initials TVS, such as TVS America Inc., Lucas-TVS Limited and TVS Auto Serv GMBH, Germany. The group's annual turnover is over USD 4 billion. It has had a significant presence in the United States since 2001.
The Complainant holds numerous trademarks of which the following are representative for the purposes of this proceeding:
European Union Trademark Registration TVS (stylised), registered November 27, 2012, registration number EU010929123, classes 7, 9, 11, 12, 16, 35, 39, 42, registered in the name of TVS Logistics Investment UK Limited;
Indian Trademark Registration TVS (design), registered August 21, 1974, registration number 298601, class 6, registered in the name of Sundram Fasteners Limited;
Indian Trademark Registration TVS (design), registered January 30, 1997, registration number 736638, class 12, registered in the name of Sundram Fasteners Limited;
Indian Trademark Registration TVS (design), registered April 3, 1948, registration number 109706, class 11, registered in the name of TV Sundram Iyenger and Sons Limited, changed September 14, 1959 to TV Sundram Iyengar and Sons Private Ltd;
Indian Trademark Registration MYTVS (design), registered August 25, 2008, registration number 1724541, classes 36, 37, registered in the name of TV Sundram Iyengar and Sons Limited.
The Complainant holds 15 domain names that all commence with the initials "tvs", ranging in date of registration from <tvsmotor.co.in>, registered on October 3, 2003, to <tvsgroup.in> registered on April 9, 2015, and also holds the domain name <mytvs.in> registered on February 16, 2005.
The factual background of the Respondent is summarised from the Response.
The Respondent is in the entertainment business, in which it takes the role of facilitating efficient finance, production and distribution of high-quality entertainment.
The Respondent holds or has held the following trademarks:
United States Trademark Registration MYTVS, applied for November 24, 2004, registered March 7, 2006, registration number 3064878, class 41, in the names of two individuals giving an address in New York. The documentation records first use as December 2002 and first use in commerce as February 2003. Cancelled by USPTO on October 12, 2012 because registrants did not file an acceptable declaration;
Autralian Trademark Registration MY TV STUDIO, registered October 28, 2015, classes 35, 36, 41, 42, in the name of the Respondent;
European Union Trademark Registration MY TV STUDIO, registered May 17, 2016, registration number 014442297, classes 35, 36, 41, 42, in the name of the Respondent;
United States Trademark Application MY TV STUDIO, applied for March 6, 2015, serial number 86556054, classes 35, 36, 41, 42, pending, referenced as convention priority in other trademark applications worlwide.
The disputed domain name was registered on October 15, 2003. The disputed domain name resolves to pay-per-click links.
The Complainant's extensive contentions include the following.
The Complainant contends that it has rights in the trademarks TVS and MYTVS and has produced copies of documentation in respect of the trademarks listed in section 4 above.
The Complainant contends that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to its trademarks.
The Complainant further contends that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the disputed domain name and has not been authorised to use the Complainant's trademarks. The disputed domain name is identical to the Complainant's trademark TVS. The Complainant says it began using the brand name "MYTVS" for aspects of its car service business as early as 2003. The Respondent would have been aware of the Complainant's trademark when registering the disputed domain name. Documentation is submitted to establish the Complainant's presence in the United States in 2001 and in Europe in 1997. The Respondent has not been commonly known by the disputed domain name. The disputed domain name resolves to an Internet location with numerous pay per click links including to old cars and automotive repairs.
The Complainant further contends that the disputed domain name was registered and is being used in bad faith. The Respondent has copied the Complainant's distinctive trademark TVS without disclaimer and in order to cause confusion with the Complainant. The Respondent's conduct amounts to passing off with intent to commit fraud and to collect revenue from pay-per-click advertising.
The Complainant says the disputed domain name does not resolve to any active website, and that the passive holding of a domain name has been held to constitute use in bad faith. Furthermore, according to precedent, the very use of a domain name by someone having no connection with a relevant complainant suggests opportunistic bad faith. It is submitted that domain names are corporate assets of such importance that unscrupulous individuals should not be allowed to benefit by using the well-known trademarks and domain names of others.
The Complainant has cited certain previous decisions under the Policy that it considers should support its position.
The Complainant requests the transfer of the disputed domain name.
The Respondent denies the Complainant. The Respondent's extensive contentions include the following.
The Respondent says the disputed domain name was registered in connection with its MYTVS trademark, which was for "entertainment services, namely, live performances by a music group". The Respondent has appended copies of specimens accepted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") in demonstration of the original use of the trademark for entertainment and performing arts services. The specimens include reference to a homepage for a website "www.mytvs.net", and 9 other pictorial pages including show dates, flyers, promotional materials and T-shirts, all prominently featuring MYTVS.
The Respondent says that since its MYTVS trademark registration lapsed in October 2012, it has contemplated using the residual goodwill that it enjoys in the trademark in connection with entertainment services branded as "My TV Studio", abbreviated to "mytvs". The Respondent says it filed trademark applications in 2015 for MY TV STUDIO in Australia, Brazil, the European Union, Hong Kong (China), India, Japan, the Russian Federation, the Republic of Korea, United Arab Emirates, and the United States, and has since obtained MY TV STUDIO trademark registrations in Australia, the European Union and the Republic of Korea.
The Respondent says the disputed domain name is not and has never been for sale.
The Respondent denies that the disputed domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the Complainant has rights. The Respondent disputes that either of the Complainant's trademarks TVS or MYTVS had the status of being well known before the Respondent started using the disputed domain name or the MYTVS trademark for entertainment services in 2003.
The Respondent says its trademark MYTVS, registered at the USPTO between November 12, 2004 and October 12, 2012, predates the Complainant's registration of the trademark MYTVS in India, applied for on August 25, 2008 and registered on March 17, 2011. The Respondent claims legitimate interests in the disputed domain name through its trademark applications and registrations for MY TV STUDIO, which has the acronym MYTVS.
The Respondent says the Complainant did not oppose the Respondent's MYTVS trademark registration, its MY TV STUDIO trademark registrations or applications, or the disputed domain name prior to making the Complaint. The Respondent says, referring to precedent and with further argument, that the Complainant's delay in bringing the Complaint shows the weakness of the Complaint and shows legitimate use of the disputed domain name by the Respondent.
The Respondent says that while it continues preparing to use the disputed domain name, it is within its right to let the registrar provide general information, in the form of links, on the site to which it resolves. Goods and services related to cars are merely among the general links provided and consumers are unlikely to associate the page with Complainant's services.
The Respondent denies that the disputed domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith. The Respondent has not copied the Complainant's trademark MYTVS because the Respondent registered the trademark first, on November 12, 2004, and the disputed domain name was acquired by the Respondent in 2003. The Complainant has not provided sufficient evidence of any right in the trademark MYTVS prior to the Respondent.
The Respondent submits that the Complainant's delay of about 14 years in bringing this Complaint or challenging the Respondent's MYTVS trademark registration suggest a lack of bad faith on the part of the Respondent.
The Respondent denies that the disputed domain name was acquired primarily for the purpose of selling, renting, or otherwise transferring to anyone and says its goods and services are different from the Complainant's. The disputed domain name was not registered in order to prevent Complainant from reflecting its trademark in a corresponding domain name and there is no evidence to suggest that the Respondent has ever engaged in a pattern of such conduct. The Complainant, in the vehicle industry, and the Respondent, in the entertainment industry are not competitors, and the disputed domain name was not registered primarily to disrupt the Complainant's business. The disputed domain name was not registered for commercial gain but in connection with the Respondent's MYTVS trademark prior to the Complainant's claim to its own MYTVS trademark. The disputed domain name resolves to a landing page that visitors are unlikely to believe has the Complainant's endorsement.
The Respondent has cited certain previous decisions under the Policy that it considers should support its position.
Paragraph 4(a) of the Policy states that the Respondent is required to submit to a mandatory administrative proceeding in the event that the Complainant asserts to the applicable dispute resolution provider, in compliance with the Rules, that:
"(i) your domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the complainant has rights; and
(ii) you have no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; and
(iii) your domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith".
The Complainant has made the relevant assertions as required by the Policy. The dispute is properly within the scope of the Policy and the Panel has jurisdiction to decide the dispute.
Paragraph 4(a)(i) of the Policy is expressed in the present tense and requires that the Complainant has rights in a trademark or service mark ("trademark"). The Panel is satisfied by the documentary evidence produced that the Complainant has rights in the trademarks TVS and MYTVS.
The determination of confusing similarity relies mainly upon a comparison of the Complainant's trademark with the disputed domain name. The generic Top-Level Domain ("gTLD") ".com" may usually be disregarded in the determination of confusing similarity. On the evidence, the disputed domain name is found to be identical to the Complainant's trademark MYTVS and to contain recognisably the Complainant's trademark TVS. Accordingly, the Panel finds for the Complainant under paragraph 4(a)(i) of the Policy.
The Complainant has asserted prima facie that the Respondent does not have any rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name, and has not been authorised to use the Complainant's trademarks.
Paragraph 4(c) of the Policy provides for the Respondent to contest the Complainant's prima facie case under paragraph 4(a)(ii) of the Policy and to establish rights or legitimate interests in a disputed domain name by demonstrating:
"(i) before any notice to you of the dispute, your use of, or demonstrable preparations to use, the domain name or a name corresponding to the domain name in connection with a bona fide offering of goods or services; or
(ii) you (as an individual, business, or other organization) have been commonly known by the domain name, even if you have acquired no trademark or service mark rights; or
(iii) you are making a legitimate noncommercial or fair use of the domain name, without intent for commercial gain to misleadingly divert consumers or to tarnish the trademark or service mark at issue".
The provisions of paragraph 4(c) of the Policy are, however, without limitation, and the Respondent may seek to establish rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name alternatively. The Respondent's claim of rights or legitimate interests is in effect founded partly on a claim of priority and of the disputed domain name having been registered legitimately and without any impediment under the Policy. The Panel has examined all of the detailed evidence produced by both the Complainant and the Respondent and has determined that, in the particular circumstances of this dispute, it will be appropriate to move forward to a consideration of the matter under paragraph 4(a)(iii) of the Policy, i.e., whether the disputed domain name was registered and is being used in bad faith. A finding under paragraph 4(a)(ii) of the Policy will not be necessary.
The Complainant must prove under paragraph 4(a)(iii) of the Policy that the disputed domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith. Paragraph 4(b) of the Policy lists four alternative circumstances that shall be evidence of the registration and use of a domain name in bad faith by a respondent, namely:
"(i) circumstances indicating that you have registered or you have acquired the domain name primarily for the purpose of selling, renting, or otherwise transferring the domain name registration to the complainant who is the owner of the trademark or service mark or to a competitor of that complainant, for valuable consideration in excess of your documented out-of-pocket costs directly related to the domain name; or
(ii) you have registered the domain name in order to prevent the owner of the trademark or service mark from reflecting the mark in a corresponding domain name, provided that you have engaged in a pattern of such conduct; or
(iii) you have registered the domain name primarily for the purpose of disrupting the business of a competitor; or
(iv) by using the domain name, you have intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to your web site or other on-line location, by creating a likelihood of confusion with the complainant's mark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of your website or location or of a product or service on your website or location".
The provisions of paragraph 4(b) of the Policy are also without limitation.
According to the WhoIs, the registration date of the disputed domain name was October 15, 2003. The Respondent is listed as the registrant and there is no evidence that the Respondent was not the original registrant. The Complainant's evidence shows that its trademark MYTVS was filed on August 25, 2008 in India.
The requirement for the Complainant to prove under paragraph 4(a)(iii) of the Policy that the disputed domain name "has been registered and is being used in bad faith" in interpreted by the Panel as requiring both registration and use to have been in bad faith. Registration is a single act at an instant in time, as distinct from use, which is continuous and may change. The Panel will consider the act of registration.
In general, "where a respondent registers a domain name before the complainant's trademark rights accrue, panels will not normally find bad faith on the part of the respondent" (section 3.8, WIPO Overview of WIPO Panel Views on Selected UDRP Questions, Third Edition ("WIPO Overview 3.0")). Absent extraordinary circumstances, the Respondent could not reasonably have anticipated that the Complainant would file a trademark application identical to the disputed domain name more than 5 years later. There could be an exception to this principle, however, if it were to be proven, on the balance of probabilities, that the Respondent indeed had reason, such as inside information, to predict the future creation of the relevant trademark.
No evidence has been advanced to suggest that the Respondent could have anticipated the Complainant's registration of the trademark MYTVS some years later. The Complainant says it had launched its "customer centric car service business under brand name 'MYTVS' as early as 2003", but has produced no evidence of this. The Complainant says, "The Complainant's internet presence can be dated back to 2003. Therefore, the consumers from all over the world were able to access the TVS/ MYTVS and other such domain names for over a decade". That does not amount to a claim by the Complainant to have been using a domain name containing the trademark MYTVS since 2003. The Complainant's sole domain name containing MYTVS, namely <mytvs.in>, was not registered until February 16, 2005.
The Complainant asserts that its trademark TVS is of long standing and has produced a registration document dated 1948. An alternative scenario to be considered therefore is that the Respondent registered the disputed domain name with intent to comprise the Complainant's trademark TVS, prefixed "my", which is a common prefix in domain names, including abusive domain names. Any such scenario would presuppose that the Respondent knew of and targeted the Complainant's trademark intentionally in bad faith.
The Panel cannot find any persuasive evidence of the Respondent's nefarious intent in this respect. All the evidence points to the Respondent having been focused throughout on music and entertainment. The Respondent has omitted to establish a direct connection with the lapsed United States Trademark Registration No. 3064878 that it describes as "Respondent's MYTVS trademark", but which was registered in other names, beyond the signed certification under paragraph 5(b)(viii) of the Rules that "the information contained in this Response is to the best of the Respondent's knowledge complete and accurate". The omission may be inconsequential to this proceeding, because the Policy concerns conflicts between trademarks and domain names, not between trademarks. The Respondent has however produced a number of pages of specimen material it says were accepted by the USPTO as supporting original use of its MYTVS trademark, including 35 small prints of performance flyers, pictures of modelled male and female T-shirts or proposed T-shirts displaying a television screen, raster and prominent "mytvs" motif, advertisements, and a list of some show dates. The items within the specimen material project an appearance of being genuine, contemporaneous, substantial, and consistent with the stated trademark category "entertainment services, namely, live performances by a music group". This material is accepted as showing at least the existence of the music group MYTVS. The Respondent has also submitted evidence of registered trademarks for MY STUDIO TV in Australia, European Union and in the United States as evidence of its activity in the entertainment industry.
Gaps exist in both the Complainant's and the Respondent's evidence. The onus of proof nevertheless remains firmly with the Complainant. On the totality of the evidence presented, the Panel finds it more probable than not that the Respondent, in settling on a brand name for its live music performances, chose the theme of TV and arrived at the name "mytvs" directly by that route. The concept of constructive notice of a trademark, particularly "a short combination of letters" (section 3.2.2, WIPO Overview 3.0), is adopted only reluctantly under the Policy. The Panel finds an inherently low probability that the Respondent would have been aware of the Complainant or of the Complainant's filing of documents for incorporation of TVS International, Inc., in Michigan, United States (being the Respondent's country of domicile) on January 9, 2001, or of a filing for TVS Automotive Europe Limited (later Unipart TVS Limited) in the United Kingdom in 1997. No evidence causes the Panel to consider it at all likely that the Respondent, as a music group, was in any way influenced by, or had any prior knowledge of, the Complainant's presence in the vehicle trade under the trademark TVS, or that the Respondent's music group name would realistically have been derived through knowledge of that trademark.
In relation to paragraphs 4(b)(i) - (iii) of the Policy, which refer to registration, the Panel finds no evidence that has come to light in the past 14 years to suggest that the Respondent had intended to offer for sale the disputed domain name to anyone; has engaged in a pattern of preventing trademark owners from reflecting their trademarks in corresponding domain names; had intended to disrupt the Complainant's or anyone's business; or that the disputed domain name was otherwise registered in bad faith.
Paragraph 4(a)(iii) of the Policy is interpreted in the conjunctive, i.e., as requiring proof that a disputed domain name has been registered in bad faith and used in bad faith. The Panel finds on the evidence that the Complainant has not fulfilled its burden of proving, on the balance of probabilities, that the disputed domain name, was registered in bad faith. Accordingly the Complainant cannot succeed under paragraph 4(a)(iii) of the Policy and the Panel's decision is for the Respondent.
For the foregoing reasons, the Complaint is denied.
Dr. Clive N.A. Trotman

(TL: Hello, happy New Year everyone. I hope you all had a good holiday. Now then, let's get cracking!!)
"I am the Orc Blacksmith."
This declaration caused the Korean peninsula as well as the whole world to boil over. Since the fame of the Orc Blacksmith was already widespread throughout the planet, Kim Sae-Jin had become the hottest topic in the world.
Joo Ji-Hyuk, Yi Hye-Rin and Kim Yu-Rin as well as those members of the Society and acquaintances who had no idea fell into quite a huge vortex of shock; meanwhile, reactions from the local media and the public were quite varied and colourful, to say the least. Among them, were people who couldn't just believe it, some who were utterly amazed by it, and some who criticised and condemned him.
But what hurt him the most were those critical opinions of some that began with, "just how much enjoyment and sense of superiority did he derive while hiding his identity?"
Sae-Jin felt so, so embarrassed. He obviously had a valid reason why he had to conceal his identity, but whenever he read those articles, cold perspiration formed on his backside while his head went numb.
- "All the information has been compiled, but… it seems that, for now, it'll be better for us to wait, sir." (Kim Yu-Sohn)
While all this was happening, enough dirt on Kim Hahn-Seol and his backers had been uncovered - the information on all the corrupt things he did in order to achieve his ambitions. Although over half of those crimes were well past the statute of limitations, but well, mass media wouldn't sweat over stuff like that.
"Right. We wait."
Unfortunately, the huge chaos raised by Sae-Jin's press conference meant that it was not possible to bury this story with another one, not just yet.
The current situation had devolved to the point where even the most respected newspapers and weekly publications - such as The Guardian, the Times, etc, etc - were busy tripping over one another just to get the story out first, while the rest of news items were getting buried away in ignorance. It was likely that, even if he exposed this information, it'd get ignored just like the others.
"This chaos, it might carry on for a while, right?"
- "Yes, sir. It seems that way. Even if you hold more press conferences, this chaos won't die down, so perhaps it's better for you to take a couple of weeks of good rest, sir." (Kim Yu-Sohn)
"A good rest… Fuu-woo."
Kim Sae-Jin let out a grand sigh while staring outside his window. As there was no sign of the noise created by the huge crowd of reporters right outside his house lessening any time soon, having a good rest was simply an impossibility at the moment.
- "Oh, and Guild Master?"
- "Last night, I had a dream. It was seen from the eyes of a Vampire. And in the dream, the Vampire Lord is waking up."
The moment he heard those words, he swallowed down a lot of his saliva. Out of the blue, the Skill 'Eyes of the Wolf' activated all on its own, and his claws extended out sharply. His heart powerfully urged him on, strengthening the species-specific instincts.
"…How do we kill it?"
He muttered out without realising it. It was a simple, instinctive reaction.
- "…Sir?"
"Ah, it's nothing. I'll call you back later."
Regaining his sanity back thanks to Kim Yu-Sohn's panicked voice, Sae-Jin quickly hung up the phone. However, his madly pounding heart showed no signs of slowing down at all. And those damn reporters camping outside his house, making so much noise were only serving to irritate him even more.
"…Uh-whew."
He let out another sigh and picked up his phone again. No matter what it took, he had to find a solution to these f*cking bastards outside who were preventing him from getting much-needed sleep.
"…Oh, is it you, Sae-Jung?"
The call connected even before the second ring ended. From the other side, he coul
d hear a genuinely welcoming voice.
For a week after the press conference, Sae-Jin shut himself in the house. He refused every single interview request made by both the local and international media outlets while saying, "Later".
Instead, testimonies of people witnessing a strange Monster began emerging between the articles related to Sae-Jin every now and then, before promptly getting buried away once more.
The unidentified Monster, its moonlight-coloured fur shining so beautifully - yet, leaving behind only the dark silhouette when the eyes try to locate it.
What the witnesses saw was the sight of the creature kicking and gliding in the air, leaping between buildings and mountains like a bird. Although, it was nothing more than a moment's blur, for those 'Knights' who accidentally saw it, they just could not forget that mysterious Monster.
Of course, the culprit himself couldn't care any less even if he tried. He had to feel the wind on his face just to de-stress, like now - so why would he care about what others thought of him and become careful with his actions? That just didn't fit with his current personality.
"…Hmm."
Currently, Sae-Jin was in the 'Wolf' form, while sitting atop the peak of a mountain in the Monster field, studying the land below.
The newly-improved Wolf's field of view simply knew no limits and he could see not only the countless Monsters, but also the Knights doing their nightly hunts as well. And even the flow of Mana coming off from them could not escape his vision, either.
"*Yawn*~~"
Since none of them were Vampires, he had no interest in fighting any one of those weaklings. While yawning out, he flicked his claw out and that cancelled the magic spell of a Lich that was fighting a group of Knights afar.
Sae-Jin climbed down the mountain peak after confirming that the Knights, who briefly stopped their actions from the shock in order to figure out why the magic had been cancelled, rushing into the Lich to finish the Monster off.
Done with his stroll now, Sae-Jin returned to the cabin owned by Yu Sae-Jung.
The cabin that was located deep in the woods of Gangwon's Goseong-gun easily exceeded 7000 square feet in area alone, but it was still nothing more than one of the simple weekend getaway villas with a nice view Yu Sae-Jung owned. Actually, she didn't even know there was a place like this under her name until her butler informed her so.
And Kim Sae-Jin asked for Yu Sae-Jung's favour and as a result, ended up staying in this villa for the time being.
He couldn't help it, since his own house was virtually under siege at the moment, and it was also no better within the Society's grounds as that was completely open to the public; reporters had hidden themselves in the hotel and the theme park located there.
Of course, he could stay cooped up within the nap room of the HQ building, or even in the underground village, but changing to the Wolf or other Monster Forms there obviously caused problems, and also, he definitely didn't feel like living with Goblins in the underground village where sun literally didn't shine.
It didn't matter that he came here with a variety of reasons, because this place proved to be just perfect. The villa was located in the middle of a mountain, so not a single sign of people anywhere; as it was also right next to a lake, the air here was refreshing, too; most of all, there were no prying eyes to worry about.
However, the one thing he didn't fully expect, obviously…
"Oppa, where have you been?"
It was Yu Sae-Jung.
She approached him shyly while wearing a thin shirt with her black underwear peeking out a little and a really short hotpants. As if she had taken a shower just now, her cheeks were glowing and her hair moist.
"A stroll. But besides that, you still haven't gone home yet? You said you'd be here for a couple of days, tops." (Sae-Jin)
"…But this is my home already." (Yu Sae-Jung)
She was the sole reason why he simply had to establish the routine of going out on a 'stroll' as the Lycanthrope for the past four days. He could only stay as a 'human' for 15 hours; so, as long as Yu Sae-Jung was around the house, he had to roam around outside for the rest 9.
"Just what kind of a stroll lasts that long?"
"Because I want to? But forget about that for now - when is Mister Hyun-Oh coming? Isn't Mister Joo Ji-Hyuk coming here soon as well? Please call them and find out what's happening. My phone died a sudden and horrible death not too long ago."
"Oh, really? But uh, even I can't… maybe something happened? I'm sure they are also busy doing all those interviews."
Yu Sae-Jung locked into his eyes and lied with a straight face. She had already sent text messages that read, 'do not come. I can handle it', and well… she didn't want Sae-Jin to know. After all, she was utterly determined to make things happen here.
"I've readied breakfast. Let's go and eat."
She then held Sae-Jin's hand and guided him towards the dining table.
"How is it? Good?"
Yu Sae-Jung asked him while her eyes sparkled in hope.
"…Let me eat first."
Unfortunately for her, he only just finished scooping out a spoonful of stir-fried rice and it wasn't even anywhere near his mouth yet.
Here was the reason why his stay here the last four days was comfortable and uncomfortable all at the same time.
From 9 o'clock in the evening to 6 in the morning, he had to roam outside for 9 hours in total which meant that his sleeping hours didn't line up with hers - but the rising hours did, so Yu Sae-Jung prepared breakfast and they always ate together.
It was the same during the day as well. Since there wasn't much to do, they would spar occasionally, then watch some TV, and then talk about trivial stuff for a while. Meanwhile, Yu Sae-Jung would stealthily approach him and engage in 'skinship' - such as, leaning her head on his shoulders, or using his lap as a pillow.
Whenever that happened… Kim Sae-Jin didn't stop her.
"Mm. It's salty."
He chewed the fried rice for a bit before ruthlessly handing out his judgement. After his evolution to Lycanthrope, even his taste buds had sharpened up and most regular food just didn't taste good enough for him nowadays.
"Ah?! Really?"
Panicking a little, she quickly took a mouthful of the rice. According to her own tongue, it wasn't bad at all, but still…
"…Ah, you weren't kidding… It's an honest mistake. Sorry. Should I redo it?"
"No, it's fine. Don't worry about it, really."
Well, it wasn't as if he'd chase after delicious food for the rest of his life, anyways. Sae-Jin shoved all the fried rice down his throat in a hurry. And his plate became empty in less than three minutes, all the while Yu Sae-Jung gazed at him with a deeply moved expression.
"…*Buuurrrp.*"
And then, he burped out loudly. But well, as the love-struck mind possessed power to transform even things like that into something utterly cool, Yu Sae-Jung burst out into a fit of giggles, commenting on how honest he was.
After the meal had come to an end, Yu Sae-Jung followed Sae-Jin as he headed towards the door again.
"I'm heading out for a while."
"Uh? But it's only 11 now? And you just came back not too long ago…"
Yu Sae-Jung asked with a surprised face. The repeat broadcast of a talk show he starred in would be on air pretty soon…
"I'll be back at 5 o'clock."
Kim Sae-Jin didn't say much, only smiling gently at her while standing on the doorway.
That was enough to appease her unhappiness of his sudden departure. Indeed, Yu Sae-Jung said goodbye with a smile much wider than his.
His schedule today was simple. He planned to roam the Monster field in all of his Monster Forms, and if he ran into a strong-looking Monster, then he'd kill it and absorb its Mana Stone. Then, he would meet up with Kim Yu-Sohn on the appointed time here in the field and have a chat with him, before changing into the Hero Orc and head off to the Orc village.
'Hmm… They have grown big.'
Sae-Jin felt accomplished whenever he took in the sights of the Hero Orc village that had clearly grown into a town. Although it wasn't cool to hear all those pig-like squeals coming out from this place instead of the Korean he taught them before, but still, this village had become a home where these mild-mannered Orcs could live safely.
They had divided their roles clearly, the huts built by the Orcs themselves were more than passable, and there seemed to be more than 300 households here - seeing all these Orcs and their growth, he started sensing the feelings of joy creep up on his mind.
It was then. An unexpected alert window popped up at this completely unexpected moment.
- Upon completion of one more condition, the host will evolve into the Orc Chieftain.
- A container where warriors' souls can dwell has been created in the host's body. Maximum of (1~5) souls of Monsters killed in battle can be stored, depending on the strength of the Monster. The Monster souls will add varied bonus Stat points to the host's overall power depending on the original holder.
"…Mm?"
The Orc tilted his head.
As he was checking out the alert window with a surprised face, the gates of the village creaked open and a person entered.
It was Kim Yu-Rin. It was as if she was also a resident in this place, judging by her familiarity.
She didn't carry any particular expression, only to find the Hero Orc and her whole face brightened up, quickly strolling towards where he was.
"But, no sparring today?"
The Hero Orc kept his distance and narrowed his brows. Yu-Rin then faintly smiled while pointing at her back pocket.
"I know. It's just that, there are couple of Orcs who got injured while going out on a hunt. I brought along some potions to treat them."
The Orc stared at her with a complicated expression. Her words implied that she had been often looking after these Orcs until now.
A woman who took care of Monsters. The press would have a field day if they ever found out.
"In other words, yes, it means that I don't have any interest in you. On top of that, we Raven Knights Order has decided to protect this village from poachers, too."
Completely forgetting about her uber-bright expressions of only a few seconds ago, she tried to look totally indifferent while walking past the Orc.
The Orc chuckled to himself slightly and turned around to follow her.
'…Hey, he's following me?'
Kim Yu-Rin's lips quivered after she took a quick glance at her back.
She thought that, the 'pushing and pulling' tactic had been a success.

Q: Will iPhone 4 turn on automatically when charging? If my iPhone 4 dies, will it turn back on automatically after I put it on charge?
The reason I ask this is my lock button is broken and I'm afraid to let my phone die. What should I do?

A: Yes, it will turn on once it reaches the minimum charge needed to start the phone.
When the battery is completely drained, you would just see a depleted battery icon (with a connect to charger prompt) for a few seconds if you press the Sleep/Wake button or the Home button. Once you connect it to the charger, it will charge for a few minutes and automatically start up, taking you to the lock screen.
At any time, you can wake your phone by pressing either the Sleep/Wake button (on top) or the Home button (below the touchscreen).

A: There is another way also. while charging u should reboot it.

Cooperative model best suited for development of India: : Amit Shah
Gandhinagar, Nov 28 (PTI) | Publish Date: 11/28/2021 3:30:25 PM IST
The cooperative model is the only model of economic development which will work to achieve an all-encompassing and all-inclusive development of a huge country like India with a population of 130 crore, Union Cooperation Minister Amit Shah said on Sunday.
Addressing a gathering here after inaugurating a milk powder factory, a poly film manufacturing plant and other projects of the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) set up with an investment of Rs 415 crore, Shah said the cooperative model has the capacity to make everyone prosperous, and there is a need to increase the number of successful cooperative models (like Amul) and bring them under one umbrella.
He also suggested Amul to work out a similar model for organic farming so as to encourage more farmers to adopt the practice, as fertilisers were causing soil degradation and diseases like cancer.
Shah said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had recognised cooperative as the best economic model for the country having a population of 130 crore when he was the chief minister of Gujarat.
"It is a very difficult job to take development to all and make everyone participate in the process of development in a country with a population of 130 crore," Shah said, adding many pundits failed to figure out which economic model will fit the requirements of this country.
"But, 75 years after the country saw many rules, the country's prime minister (Modi) tested the model and had realised as the then chief minister of Gujarat, that if there is any economic model for an all-encompassing, all-inclusive economic development of a country of 130 crore population, then that is only the cooperative," he said. Shah said he believes the field of cooperation has the capacity to make everyone prosper.
"Cooperative is the only field which has the capacity to give a new pace to the economy, and make all prosperous, and Amul is a living example of this. Amul is an example of what 36 lakh women (dairy farmers) can achieve if they work together with transparency," he said.
"In a way, (the Amul model) is the most successful experiment of women empowerment. I'd request those running NGOs in the name of women empowerment to rather run a cooperative society to achieve better women empowerment," the Union minister said.
He said it is impossible to fulfill India's milk requirement without Amul. The fact that Amul is expanding beyond Gujarat is a welcome step, as dairy farmers from other states also need to get the right price for their produce, he added.
Shah also suggested the Amul authorities to develop a model to ensure farmers adopting organic and natural farm practices get better prices for their produce and encourage others for the same. He said the Centre will support such an endeavour.
He said the country is facing a very big crisis due to the degradation of soil quality, decrease in production and health hazards caused by the use of fertilisers, and more and more farmers will have to move towards organic farming practices.
Many progressive farmers have already switched over to organic or natural farming, he said, adding that more than two lakh farmers in Gujarat have adopted natural farming techniques which have yielded positive results.
But, such famers are not getting the right amount for their organic produce, even when there are systems in the world where they can get a much better price, he said.
If the trust of consumers is won through adoption of infrastructure for organic products and development of scientific techniques and testing facilities, then organic farming will grow, Shah said.
The new milk powder plant set up at AmulFed Dairy, a unit of the GCMMF, is Asia's largest fully automated dairy having milk handling capacity of 50 lakh litres per day, the GCMMF claimed in a release.
The Union minister also inaugurated a new Amul butter plant, tripling AmulFed Dairy's capacity, and a new robotic high-tech warehousing facility at the AmulFed Dairy.
The GCMMF constitutes the largest dairy cooperative network in India with its 18 district-level member unions, 18,563 village-level dairy cooperative societies and 36 lakh farmer members, the release said.
The Amul group has 87 dairy manufacturing plants with a handling capacity of 39 million litres of milk per day, it said.
Besides its extensive network in Gujarat, the group also sources milk from 13 other states. Some of its member unions have also set up village-level dairy cooperage societies in West Bengal, Maharashtra, Haryana, Rajasthan, Punjab, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Uttar Pradesh, the release said.

CAMPUS is the School of TOTAL trades dedicated to the training of all employees of the Marketing & Services field.
Since few years, Euro-Symbiose leads a training process dedicated to the future HSE auditors. This process includes a first module of 3 days by focusing on the ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 standards; and a second module of 3 days about the way to audit a management system according those three standards.
Since the decree of 24th November 2014, companies of more than 250 employees or whose annual turnover is superior by €50 million have to undertake every four years an energetics audit of their activities. This audit allows to determine which the energy consumption are, to identify the potential energy-saving and to examine the recommendations which are dedicated to themselves.
In order to be exemplary in relation to its customers and stakeholders, TOTAL MARKETING France decided to certify some entities according to the ISO 50001 standard – standard of energy management – and that, before the end of 2015. The standard has been added at the first module which changed toward a size of 4 days. Virginie CAUET, Euro-Symbiose consultant, explains: "this format allows to study each standard on a full day. During the creation of the new module, we are looked for putting emphasis on the requirements proper to the ISO 50001 by doing the link with the requirements clauses to three other standards, for more consistency".
In order to be to the same level than the future participants, the collaborators by having already followed the traditional module of 3 days, could participate to a specific day about the ISO 50001. An idea which seems to work, as demonstrates it Yannick BRET, Industrial Risk Manager: "the training has completely met my needs. The understanding exercises were very interesting and the group leader has remarkably answered to our questions." "The sequence on the technical process is the one I have preferred. I have integrated very well the requirements of different standards" adds Louise LACOMBE, PMI Manager.


Like everyone else "in the know" in high school, I looked to Blake Nelson's Girl like it was my bible. All the confusing feelings and twisted emotions I was having as a nonconformist teenager were documented perfectly in this book. My friends and I passed around our one collective copy, each signing it like it was a sacred artifact.
There's something about Blake Nelson enthusiasts, but Girl and now Dream School fans in particular—you can spot them from a mile away. Like there's an underground code, a secret handshake, a fight club without the fighting. I ran into my old friend Tyler the other day on the subway and I held up my book for him to see, wondering if it meant anything to him. He seemed like a would-be fan. He held up his own copy of Dream School and we laughed. I wasn't surprised.
I recently got the chance to interview Blake Nelson over email and his responses were yet another reminder of how much I love his work, his decisions, and his characters. Warning: If you haven't read the book yet, this interview may contain a few spoiler alerts. And, uh, what are you waiting for?
Jesse: Andrea left Wellington on a pretty abrupt and dramatic note. Did you have a similar experience at Wesleyan?
Blake: Yeah, I left Wesleyan kind of hastily. My situation was more based around the band I was in. We were always getting into trouble. It reached a point where we needed to not be there. So we left.
Jesse: In general, how similar was your Wesleyan experience to Andrea's at Wellington? Did you have a Vanessa, a Carol, an Andrew, a Paul?
Blake: It's somewhat similar, not those actual people though. The thing about her not finding her own people at first—that did happen. When I first arrived at Wesleyan I thought it was going to be all these East Coast hipsters. But most people had, like, Bob Marley posters in their rooms. It was, like, this prep school time warp. It took until my sophomore year to find ONE person who was into the same stuff I was. He was wearing a Bad Brains button. What a relief that was . . .
Jesse: When you first started writing the book, did you know Andrea was going to wind up leaving college early, or more importantly, that she was going to leave feeling "unchanged" to a certain degree? Like, changed, but not changed in the end-all-be-all way she had anticipated?
Blake: No, I just started the book and let it flow and take me to wherever it was going to go. I didn't even know she was going to be a writer! As for being unchanged, I think she was changed a lot actually. I'm not sure, if she'd gone to Oregon State, that she could have ever taken herself seriously as a writer. That was the secret benefit of Wellington. Because people at places like that take themselves so seriously. They think they could be writers. It makes it easier for someone like Andrea to do so well.
Jesse: Andrea is pretty comfortable with herself, confident in her decisions, and able to "go with the flow." She doesn't seem to sweat the small stuff or obsess over everything the way some girls her age might. Where did the idea for Andrea's character, her sophisticated and wise attitude in particular, come from?
Blake: You think of her as wise? Ha ha. Well, that's a compliment I guess! I think of her as . . . well, she's from a small city, Portland, so she has that small town common sense thing. I don't know if she's sophisticated. She does feel grounded to me. But also naïve. She's obviously some composite of me and other people I've known and the kind of people I enjoy meeting. But I don't really make decisions about her personality. She just is.
Jesse: Another thought about Andrea's character . . . I always thought (in Girl first, and now in Dream School) it was really interesting how she straddles both the punk and mainstream worlds so seamlessly. It seems like a very conscious decision on your part; why did you make it? Were you like that at all growing up?
Blake: Yeah I was like that. I've got the classic writer personality of being able to blend in and sort of exist in different worlds. I think for Andrea it's more part of the process of becoming herself. She starts off being this totally normal person, on the surface, at least. And then slowly she makes the transition to something less mainstream. I love remembering people I knew in high school who made dramatic shifts. Guys who would show up at shows and be, like, the most normal nerdy types. And then they'd come back the next week and be totally punk or whatever. They would totally change in one week.
Jesse: This is kind of a predictable question, but . . . Why did you wait so long before writing the sequel to Girl? And had you always known there would be a sequel?
Blake: I wrote the sequel around 1998-2000. Then I couldn't get my original Girl publisher to publish it, (it was a little late in their eyes). Over the next couple years, I brought it up with different publishers, but could never get the right fit. Then in 2008 I met Lauren Cerand who was this really smart media person and a Girl fan and she helped me find Figment, which is an online writing community for teens mostly but older people too. Figment was just starting and they were looking for something fun and interesting to help launch their site. They had the idea of serializing it, like we did originally in Sassy. When Figment saw the numbers of people who were reading it on their site, they decided to publish it. It was really a good fit, especially in that Figment is all about helping young writers find their voice and Dream School is essentially about Andrea finding her writer's voice.
Jesse: Another popular question, I would imagine, but I still don't know the answer . . . How do you, as an adult male, get inside the head of a teenage girl sooo well?
Blake: I don't know. One thing: I don't think it's so much about gender. I think gender is overrated. I think boys and girls think most of the same thoughts . . . In my case, maybe I'm confident enough in my belief that gender is not that profound, that I can let Andrea be, and not try to make her overly "female." I let her be a person first, then I sprinkle a little girl-ness on top.
Jesse: Todd Sparrow, ABlakeOne.jpgndrea's hot rock star boyfriend in Girl, was obviously a hugely integral part to the book. Did you think about putting him in Dream School, or was it always clear there was no place for Todd Sparrow there?
Blake: Going off to college, she is pretty removed from Todd Sparrow's world. So it seems natural that they wouldn't bump into each other. Maybe he'll show up in a future book. Todd Sparrow was always an enigmatic figure for me. I had trouble getting him clear in my mind as I wrote Girl. I solved the problem by remembering Courtney Love—a fellow Portland scene person. She could be so charming and funny even though she seemed like a borderline street person. So when I struggled with Todd, like, "Why would Andrea like him so much?" I would think of Courtney at her best, being brilliant and magnetic and having this quality of sweeping you away into [her] world, which was so much more interesting than the ordinary world.
Jesse: How did the movie adaptation of Girl come about, and what did you think of it?
Blake: A production company called Muse Productions—they had done Buffalo 66, which I had loved so I was hopeful. Some interesting people were involved at different times. Sarah Jacobson—who has since passed away but was this amazing figure in the indie film world at the time—was going to direct at one point. But they kept changing people. When they finally finished it, it wasn't quite what I had hoped for. It was nobody's fault; that just happens with movies sometimes. But it was shown endlessly on cable, and got the book a ton of publicity, so I was happy.
Jesse: Have you thought at all about further continuing Andrea's story line still? Even if you never write about Andrea Marr again, do you feel like you have a sense of what happens to her after the book ends?
Blake: Yeah, I've thought about doing another book. I don't know where she'll end up or what will happen to her. I'm not sure that matters to me that much. I feel like her youth, like with most people, is probably the most interesting part of her. After that, she'll get older. She'll be like an old person. She'll still be who she is but in a more sedate manner.

Despite the Social Struggles, Indian Women Take Precedence
Apoorva Nangia
"Yatra Naryastu pujyante, ramante tatra devta", which means God resides where women are worshipped.
Who is a woman? Have we ever asked ourselves? Yes & the answer is she is a mother, a sister, a lover, a wife & also a fighter. Why am I saying she is a fighter? Do we have an answer?
The answer comes out from the fact that since decades she has been struggling for her presence, her aura to be felt by all, but every time she tries it, she is unable to get the recognition which she actually deserves.
From the time of Ramayana, we have seen the struggle of a woman, how goddess Sita had to give agni pariksha to prove her loyalty & integrity. This really pops a question in my mind after having made so many sacrifices; did she really need to prove her love & purity? If yes, then why? Why always a woman has to prove her loyalty why aren't men not questioned? And the answer is simple that we have never thought this way as our society is so patriarch that we forget to question & raise our finger on men.
Now let's have a look in medieval India. Women have gone through innumerable social evils such as sati pratha, dowry system, domestic violence, female feticide etc. These evils are just the numbers, one can never imagine the pain which a woman undergoes, self-respect, her soul are all shattered due to the injustice towards her. Our society has always treated women as inferior even after having known her value in family & society. A woman is selfless, she always thinks of her family before anything else & what she receives is negligence, disrespect, & what to not damage her completely.
Even today women are treated as sex toys that anyone can use anytime. The increasing number of rape cases in India proves that the evil thinking towards women is still prevalent & deep rooted. Female feticide is also one of the long lived evils of our society & it has taken more dangerous shape as the time passed.
Despite all the struggles, Indian women have made their mark in almost every field. Here I would like to mention about IPS Kiran Bedi who is the first Indian woman IPS officer. She has totally changed the image of women not only in India but all around the world. After so much of social taboo about women joining the force she has made great efforts to be at this position. Also it has always been said that it is very tough for women to work in corporate & maintain work-life balance which is why most women quit their careers, yet one example is Mrs. Chanda Kochhar , the CEO & MD of ICICI bank has proved this a misconception. Mrs. Sonia Gandhi being an Italian has managed to handle & lead an altogether different cultured economy. Mrs. Indira Gandhi, who became premier of India in 60s and strongly managed the diplomacy with US, USSR and China during 1971 Indo-Pak war, many western nations are yet to have a woman premier. Mrs. Meira Kumar, the first Indian Lok Sabha speaker has stunned everyone by her compassion & skill. The list may go on Late Kalpana Chawla, Ms. Sunita Williams, Ms. Indira Nooyi so on & so forth.
And the truth will always remain the same that women are an integral part of any society. It is always rightly said that if the women of a nation are respected & valued, the nation will prosper as a matter of course.

Built by the kings of Chandela dynasty during 950 to 1050 AD, these exquisite temples were lost to the world from 13AD onwards till they were discovered by the British in 1838 under the cover of dense date palm trees.
This collection of Hindu, Buddhist and Jain temples are Khajuraho temples are famous for art on stone. Variously described as living temples, Temple of Love and consisting of unique erotic sculptures the Khajuraho group of temples are considered by many to be the pinnacle of India's temple art. The temple complex creates an eclectic mix of spirituality, eastern philosophy, architecture and cultural heritage.
Khajuraho is best visited during winter on account of its extreme climate. Summer months can be very hot. The famous Khajuraho Dance Festival is held in March and attracts visitors from across the world.
Khajuraho is well connected to major cities by train and by air. The airport is 5km from the city centre and links to Delhi, Agra and Mumbai. It is best recommended to use a trusted cab service provider like Savaari, where you can make an online booking by downloading the Savaari App.

Explore the royal city of Mysore
Call it the Heritage City or the City of Palaces, the city of Mysore still emanates a feeling of au royale even in a 21st century India. A place of heritage for royal families, sultans, and legendary names in history, every corner of Mysore is steeped in stories of victory, power, and grandeur. A tour of this majestic city is only justified when you explore the royal heritage of the City of Palaces.
Conveniently located on the southern edge of the Karnataka State, Mysore is easily accessible from major cities. It takes about three hours to travel the 152 KM distance from Bangalore to Mysore.
The city of Mysore served as the capital for the Kingdom of Mysore between the 1300s until 1956. These six centuries saw the kingdom change hands of rulers and kings, from the Wadiyar Dynasty, Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan. But the common element of all the rulers was their penchant for art and culture. Under their patronage, they contributed to the city's visual and cultural glory which earned Mysore the fame of Karnataka's cultural capital.
A royal tour
If you want to experience the regal side of Mysore, you cannot but miss these structures of historical and architectural significance. You can join a heritage walking tour to explore the city on foot, or head from Bangalore to Mysore by car and stop by at monuments, palaces, and museums and learn about the legends that made Mysore. You can start your walk from the Town Hall, built in 1884, as a tribute to the first Dewan of the city.
Mysore Palace- The official residence of the royal family of Wadiyars, the palace itself is a work of marvel. An overwhelming blend of Indo-Saracenic, neoclassical, Indo-Islamic and Gothic architectural works, the Mysore Palace is a breathtaking sight. Built in 1912, the palace is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and boasts delicate works of mirrors, stained glass, mosaic and more. On any given day, you will find more tourists here than even at the Taj Mahal. Every Sunday, the palace comes alive with 97000 light bulbs bedazzling its façade and the premises.
Lalitha Palace– Yet another heritage building, the two-storied Lalitha Mahal sits on a ridge at the foothills of the Chamundi Hills, which makes for a great vantage point. The palace was transformed into a hotel and offers a royal stay. If you truly want a feeling of royalty, then a stay here would be an experience.
Jaganmohan Palace– One of the seven prominent palaces of Mysore city, is a stunning work of ancient Indian architecture with intricate interiors and exteriors. The palace, transformed into a royal art gallery since 1915, houses paintings of the royal family, art by Raja Ravi Varma and an array of rare and antique musical instruments.
Museums- Stop by the Rail Museum to explore the archaic steam engines, the Maharani's saloon, and other railway souvenirs. There's also the Jayalakshmi Vilas Mansion showcasing more than 6500 folk artifacts from all parts of Karnataka. The Folk Art Museum, one of the most visited in the city, is also known for its collection of toys, models, and figurines.
Crawford Hall- Built in 1947, this is a must visit historic structure in Mysore. The royal palace is now known as the Mysore University but still renders a rich heritage to its ambiance.
Small, medium or large-scale, every historical building and monument of Mysore has a majestic touch to it. And such architecture speaks of its glorious past, which has left traces for the modern civilization to explore.
India's Victory at the International Court of Justice is the World's Challenge to the Status Quo
Manak Suri
flickr/romanboed
For the past week, both the Indian and British media have rigorously covered the story of the re-election of India's justice Dalveer Bhandari to the bench of judges in the International Court of Justice on Tuesday, November 21. That the Indian judge retained his position on the bench was not the sole reason for the story's extensive coverage; his reappointment combined with the fact that it happened at the expense of the United Kingdom's spot on the bench is why the story is making so many rounds… and no, that many Indians may see it as some sort of a comeback against Britain's 200 years of colonial rule over the country is not the reason why it matters. It matters because this is the first time since 1946 that the UK has no judge on the ICJ bench, and that signals possible changes in the way international bodies govern and are governed. So what does this mean for India, for the UK and for the world at large?
The International Court of Justice
The International Court of Justice or the ICJ was established in 1945 by the United Nations as its principal judicial branch and is located in The Hague, Netherlands. Its job is to settle legal disputes between states that are submitted to it and give advisory opinions on legal questions referred to it. The court comprises of a total of 15 judges that are elected to 9 year terms by way of voting from both the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) and the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) separately. One third of the court is re-elected every three years, and no two judges of the same nationality may assume positions on the bench simultaneously. However, the rule that led to the deadlock between the candidates from India and UK is that a candidate must obtain an absolute majority in both the UNGA and the UNSC in order to be elected to the bench.
UN General Assembly vs UN Security Council: The Race in Numbers
On November 9 and November 13, in seven rounds of voting justice Bhandari secured between 110 and 121 votes from a total of 193 in the UNGA against figures between 68 and 79 secured by his British counterpart Sir Christopher Greenwood. However, among the UNSC, justice Bhandari lost out by 5 votes to 9 in favour of Sir Greenwood. In the face of uncertainty, the UK then pushed for a 'joint conference' under the rules of the court between the UNSC and the UNGA. Under the 'joint conference' three countries from each side then determine the name for the court. However, the rules do not mention the procedure to select these countries and understandably so, since the option was last invoked in 1921. Fearing not enough support from the council, criticism for invoking the charter, and harming its friendly as well as economic relations with India, the UK eventually chose to not follow through with the process and withdrew its candidature for the post. In the end, India secured the seat with a total of 183 votes out of 193 at the UNGA and all 15 at the UNSC.
There is More to the Victory than Meets the Eye
The result means different things for the parties involved and also for the balance of power and influence between countries. For the UK, there are hardly any positives to take away from this result amid already turbulent times. Many in the British media have viewed this loss as 'a blow to British international prestige' and the country's acceptance of a diminishing role in global affairs. This was the UK's second major defeat at the ICJ after it lost a vote by a margin of 94 to 15 countries in June when the UNGA voted in favour of referring the question of decolonisation and self-determination of the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean to the ICJ, which is currently under its control. Many within and outside the country have also been quick to blame Brexit for the situation in which they find themselves today, arguing that the other states, especially the ones within the European Union would have been less willing to snub the UK had the UK chosen not to leave the alliance. In the face of defeat, British diplomats have continued to maintain that they are happy that their close friend India has won, but have also not been shy of hiding their natural disappointment at their own loss.
For India, their victory in having a judge win the contest in getting elected to the ICJ bench against a permanent member of the UNSC is more symbolic than anything else. It reinforces India's image at the highest stage as a major emerging global player and its ability to bring in greater reforms that push for more involvement from developing countries and emerging economies. Also, having a judge on the ICJ bench gives India an edge over Pakistan in the case involving former Indian Navy Officer Kulbhushan Jadhav who has been sentenced to death by a Pakistan military court on the charges of espionage. True, a judge on the ICJ does not represent his/her country or their interests. However, as suggested by repeated criticism the court receives for being biased in favour of the states who appoint the judges, having a judge on the panel is certainly an asset for any country, no matter what the rules dictate on paper.
The most important takeaway from the whole episode far exceeds the ambitions of just the two countries and a race for a seat at the ICJ. India's victory at the court reinforces the belief that power does not necessarily reside or has to reside with the 'few global elite', a sentiment which was expressed clearly when most member states of the UNGA backed India's justice Bhandari to be re-elected against the choice of the permanent members or P5 of the UNSC. There seems to be an acknowledgment among the member states of the UN of the beginning of a change which sees an increasing shift in the balance of power away from the traditional powers of the world or the P5 – Britain, China, United States, Russia, and France. Of these countries, China was the only member to not have a judge on the ICJ between 1967 and 1985 till the final decision last week, when they were joined by the UK in the list. Last year, Russia was voted off the United Nations Human Rights Council. In the 2016 elections, France lost out on securing a position in the International Law Commission. While diplomats at the UN continue to maintain that there are no winners and losers here, that it is all part of a bigger picture, these developments undoubtedly mark diplomatic victories for the Group of 77 or the G77, a coalition of developing nations at the UN that have constantly pushed for an enhanced negotiating capacity. What remains to be seen is just to what extent they bring about a change in the status quo.

My name is Nancy and I live in Michigan with my husband. My niece who is my best friend is 5 years younger than me came to Cancun for a face lift and told me of her experience with My Medical Vacations and how wonderful the people were to her and took such great care of her.
Well at the very least I was skeptical although at 64 years old I was not happy with my looks and decided to step out on faith and scheduled a face lift with My Medical Vacations also.
My coordinator Tanja was very informative of what to expect and kept in contact with me by phone and email. She even had her supervisor to call me and reassure me of some concerns and questions. When my niece and I arrived we were picked up and taken to our hotel which buy chance was a problem with the hotel. My niece called Betty, one of the other fabulous women working with me on my case. They made other hotel arrangements and picked us up again and made sure we were safe and comfortable. Betty picked us up to get blood test, see a cardiologist and meet with plastic surgeon. After surgery we were brought to our hotel room and every day Anna came to help Charlotte bath me and make sure I was okay.
These group and people are the nicest, caring people I have ever met. They brought us food every day if we needed it no matter what we ask for. They checked on us every day and sometimes 3 to 4 times a day.
But it is not my wish to misinform anyone, plastic surgery is very painful but I really do not think you will find a greater bunch of people to entrust yourself into their care. They made us feel very comfortable in every way. Just down to earth caring people.
Thank you to the staff of My Medical Vacations. I have a few months ahead of me before the bruising and swelling and everything settles down but I am confident that I will feel much like my niece, she looks beautiful.

Remembering Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles
It is remarkable that not only has an actual date for Paul's death been preserved, but it is a Hebrew date.
Calendar, Messianic Judaism, YahrzeitJul 20, 2020
YahrzeitJul 20, 2020
Paul the Apostle, by Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn c. 1657 (Image: Wikimedia, public domain)
By Toby Janicki
A personal passion of mine is finding the yahrzeit (anniversary of death) dates for important figures in the Messianic movement, particularly those in the Apostolic Era.
If you look at a Jewish website such as Chabad.org, or a Twitter feed such as "Today's Yahrzeits," you find that almost every day there is a remembrance of a rebbe or sage who died on that day. It is one of the ways that Judaism connects with the heroes of the past and honors those who have paved the way for where they are today. I think we need to be doing the same thing in Messianic Judaism.
This is easier said than done, particularly with the characters of the New Testament. While early church literature often records the manner in which the apostles and others died, they rarely record a date. In turn, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that a death date for the Apostle Paul has been preserved in the Syriac Church tradition.
The source is called "The Book of the Bee." It was compiled in the twelfth century by Solomon, the Bishop of Bassora, and preserves a lot of very Semitic-sounding material, which may indeed go back to the early Jewish believers. In chapter 48 there is a discussion of the teachings of the apostles and the place of their deaths. Here is the section on Paul:
Paul of Tarsus was a Pharisee by sect, of the tribe of [Benjamin]. When he had been baptized by Ananias, he wrought many miracles, and taught great cities, and bore and suffered dangers not a few for the name of Messiah. Afterwards he went to Peter at Rome. When they divided the world between them, and the heathen fell to Paul's lot, and the Jewish nation to Peter, and they had turned many to the truth of Messiah, Nero commanded that they should both die a cruel death. Then Simon asked to be crucified head downwards, that he might kiss that part of the cross where the heels of his Master had been. As they were going forth to be slain, they gave the laying on of hands of the priesthood to their disciples, Peter to Mark, and Paul to Luke.
The text continues with a remarkable tale about the burial:
When Peter had been crucified, and Paul slain, together with many of those who had become their disciples, Mark and Luke went forth by night, and brought their bodies into the city. Now Paul's head was lost among the slain, and could not be found. Sometime after, when a shepherd was passing by the spot where the slain were buried, he found Paul's head, and took it upon the top of his staff, and laid it by his sheep-fold. At night he saw a fire blazing over it, and he went in (to the city) and informed the holy bishop Xystus (Sixtus) and the clergy of the church; and they all recognized that it was Paul's head. Xystus said to them, "Let us watch and pray the whole night, and let us bring out the body and lay the head at its feet; and if it joins again to its neck, it will be certain that it is Paul's." And when they had done so, the whole body was restored, and the head was joined to its neck as if the vertebrae had never been severed; and those who saw it were amazed and glorified God.
This miracle story is strikingly similar to some of the legends we find about the sages in rabbinic literature. The text then closes with a very Bible-like account of the years of the Apostle Paul's life:
From his call to the end of his life was thirty-five years; he went about in every place for thirty-one years; for two years he was in prison at Caesarea, and for two years at Rome. He was martyred in the thirty-sixth year after the Passion of our Master, and was laid with great honor in the magnificent royal catacombs in Rome. They celebrate every year the day of his commemoration on the twenty-ninth of the month of Tammuz.
It is also remarkable that not only has an actual date for his death been preserved but it is a Hebrew date. Whether it is the actual date Paul died or not, for me it does not matter so much. I'm always looking for an opportunity to remember the Master Yeshua and his apostles more and more, so on Tammuz 29, I will be remembering the man who was designated the "Apostle to the Gentiles." This year (2020) Tammuz 29 falls on Tuesday, July 21. May his memory serve as a blessing!
