The Inherent Problems in wrongful Assumption of Jurisdiction
The issue of jurisdiction is the basic and fundamental thing to be considered by a court before proceeding to the adjudication of a matter, it is pertinent to note that wrongful assumption of jurisdiction by a court would invariably result to an exercise in futility, abuse of court process and the perversion of justice.
An Exercise in futility:
To commence and proceed in a trial where the Court which tries the matter does not have the power to do so would amount to doing same in vain. The reason for this is not farfetched because in as much as an issue of jurisdiction is considered very fundamental that it can be raised at any stage of proceeding, for where it is absent ab initio the entire case collapses, no matter how well conducted.
A court without power cannot preside or decide on a matter irrespective of whatever the subject matter may be or whatever the interest that parties may have, An Upper Area Court which proceeds to assume jurisdiction over a land matter wherein the plaintiff is asking for the declaration of title over the said land and finally delivers its judgment in one way or the other must have succeeded in carrying out an exercise in futility since the decision of the said court though binding on the parties, would be quashed on appeal for want of jurisdiction.
This must have amounted to an exercise in futility because the entire judicial proceeding has been explored and the time of the court and of the litigant and that of their legal representatives expended in an exercise that would not survive the slightest test of appeal.
Abuse of Court Process:
An abuse of judicial process means that the court has not been used bonafide and properly. Ordinarily, the wrongful assumption of jurisdiction by a court would amount to an abuse of court process, but for the fact that the issue of jurisdiction is statutorily settled, to do that which is outside what is statutorily provided amounted to an abuse of the process of the court.
This abuse of court process could be manifested in many ways like:
(i) the filing of a matter in a court, which does not have jurisdiction over the subject matter.
(ii) To refuse the doing of those things, which the law requires to be done before the commencement of a suit like the payment of the required fees, the proper endorsement of the court processes, proper services of the court processes on the parties to the suit and the proper entering of appearance by the defendant.
(iii) The court which assumes jurisdiction not being properly constituted as to the number of persons to constitute the bench.
(iv) The person(s) who constitute the bench not being qualified to do so where the subject matter of the suit is the kind that ought to be initiated in a superior court of record, and is wrongly initiated in an inferior court, it would be amount to be abuse of court process if the court assumes jurisdiction to hear the matter with utmost disregard to the statutory provision as to jurisdiction.
In practical court proceedings, the duly initiation of a case plays important role in the proper assumption of jurisdiction in a court matter. Where a suit is filed and the required filing fees are not paid, such documents are not properly filed and it would amount to an abuse of court process for the court to wrongfully assume jurisdiction. The court of Appeal in the case of Jimoh v Starco Nig. Ltd &Ors held that:
Abuse of court process is not a mere irregularity. It is a much more fundamental vice which is usually punished with a dismissal. The endorsement of the document filed in the court is very fundamental in the proper and duly initiation of a court proceeding and failure to have the document properly endorsed amounts to an abuse of court process.
The long established practice, is for appropriate court officials to endorse on documents filed in court registries, the receipt numbers against which they were filed together with the date of such filing. These endorsements ought to be at the time of filing such documents to ensure that suspicion of fraud or irregular filing are eliminated.
The proper service of the court process is exceedingly fundamental for a rightful assumption of jurisdiction by the court. Once an originating process of court has been issued, the next step is the proper service of such process.
Without the service of the process, the defendant has no way of knowing that he has been sued and for what. Thus the general purpose of requiring service of such process is to give notice to the defendant.
In First Bank of Nigeria Plc v. Opande it was held that failure to serve a process where service of process is required is a failure, which goes to the root of the proper procedure in litigation. Apart from proper expert proceeding the idea that an order can validly be made against a man who has no notification of any intention to apply for it is one, which has never been adopted.
Thus it has been held that where service is required, a person affected by the order of court but was not served with the process is entitled Ex Debito Justitate (a remedy which the applicant gets as of right) to have the order set-aside as a nullity because service of a writ is a condition precedent to the court assuming jurisdiction.
There is no doubt that all court takes firm stand concerning the abuse of the process of court. But before a party is admonished, it must be established that the erring party has abused the process of court by improper use of the process of court. Once a court is satisfied that any proceeding before it is an abuse of process it has the power, indeed the duty to dismiss it.
Action in the High Court may be commenced in four different ways namely; originating motion, Petition, originating summons and Writ of summons, and to commence an action by the wrong method, which is against the provisions of the rules of court, would amount to an abuse of the court process.
c) Perversion of Justice: –
Justice in its simple definition means the upholding of right, and the punishment of wrong, by the laws. The constant and perpetual wish to give each man his due. The right of individuals is entrenched in the constitution, and it is the court of law in the course of doing justice that can give each man his due based on the fact before it.
Where a court of law expected to give the individuals their due right which is enshrined in the constitution wrongfully exercises its power to do so it becomes a certitude that justice would invariably be perverted.
This perversion of justice could be seen where the fundamental requirements for the assumption of jurisdiction has not been satisfied, where the subject matter is commenced in a wrong court as shown above. In cases where the case is not duly initiated, rooms are created for litigants to cut corners and thereby the courts that is expected to dispense justice without fear or favour is constrained to breach procedures and justice being prevented on the long run.
The qualification of the members of the bench is very important because where an unqualified person is obliged to do what a qualified judge is to do, then the end product would be an unqualified decision which means crushed justice.

An innovative partnership between academic researchers, coastal management groups and end-users delivers targeted research and enhances communication.
A research partnership between Edge Hill University and Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council developed innovative methods of identifying gaps in knowledge and understanding about sedimentary coastal dynamics and investigating practitioner needs. The partnership enabled the dissemination of scientific information to audiences across the wider community. The partnership provided a framework which enabled and enhanced integrated coastal zone management (ICZM). Within this framework coastal zone managers were supported in the development of adaptation and mitigation strategies, taking account of both long and short term environmental change. Policy and management decisions are now based upon sound scientific evidence wherever possible, ascertained by research where time allows, with significant scientific, social and policy benefits. Practice elsewhere on the UK's Irish sea coast, and elsewhere in the EU, has been influenced.
Application of advanced analytical methods for damage assessment of cultural artefacts in museums and historic buildings
Research by Marianne Odlyha and her group at the Department of Biological Sciences, Birkbeck, University of London, has led to the development of minimally invasive analytical methods and portable tools (dosimeters) for assessing damage to historical artefacts. These dosimeters are now in use at locations around the world, including the Tate Gallery's store rooms, English Heritage properties (Apsley House) and museums in Ghent, Cracow and Mexico. Methods for assessing damage, and for mitigation of pollutant impact on objects in museum enclosures, have been disseminated to conservation professionals through workshops and training courses held across Europe. The assessment and prevention of damage is vital to conserve the cultural as well as the monetary value of artefacts.

Assisting trafficked persons and exploited migrants to access their human rights
Trafficked persons have benefitted directly from van den Anker's research at UWE through improved support and legislation. Her policy model on human trafficking prevention assisted changes in the UK, Ireland, Portugal, Czech Republic, Belgium and Sweden and informed local policy development through her training of politicians, civil servants and NGOs in Bristol, Birmingham and Wales. Increased multi-agency working promoted by van den Anker has led to the establishment of new support services like a safe house and the Migrant Rights Centre in Bristol, directly benefiting migrants. International dissemination contributed to agenda changes in international organisations such as the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe.

Bridging the gap between policy and regulation: new assessment tools for implementing the EU Water Framework Directive
Research by Rowan and ERG colleagues Black, Bragg, Cutler, Duck has addressed the science and policy challenges faced by statutory authorities meeting their duty to implement the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) 2000. Assessing the sensitivity of aquatic systems to physical, chemical and biological pressures is the central theme, and through a series of commissioned projects funded by UK environment and conservation agencies, the research has:
Developed new assessment tools used by statutory regulators to characterise the degree of flow alteration and physical modification to rivers and lakes;
Developed the lake habitat survey (LHS) method, complete with accreditation programme, incorporated as best-practice in a CEN European Guidance Standard;
Been translated directly into legally-binding and currently used environmental standards across the UK and Ireland (through new enabling legislation);
Informed regulatory practices across Europe, particularly in Italy, Poland, France, Norway, Serbia and Montenegro.
Bringing a science of behaviour to the community
We addressed a serious mismatch between increasing rates of autism diagnosis across Europe and the shortage of professionals skilled in effective treatment provided by Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA; www.bacb.com). A parent-lead charity (PEAT) was established in N. Ireland (www.peatni.org); teams from 7 European countries adapted our multimedia training resources (www.stamppp.com); Masters and Certificate level courses were established. Government documents informing policy in Scotland and New Zealand were corrected. Schools and charities in the Republic of Ireland, Poland, and Portugal, and other Masters level courses subsequently appeared in Ireland (http://tinyurl.com/cxpo66m). Simple Steps NI Ltd. was established involving PEAT and Manleys (http://www.manleys.co.uk).

Changing crowd management practices through research on effects of crowd participation
Drury's research on the psychological effects of crowd participation has provided new rationales that have changed the crowd and emergency management practices used by a number of bodies and institutions; the concepts and principles he has helped to develop have become part of their guidance literature. Specifically the impacts are in two areas. The first is the policing of crowds, where new guidance embodies recommendations from his research to reduce the likelihood of conflict. The second is psychosocial care for people affected by emergencies, where his research on informal resilience in crowds has contributed to the rationale for a new approach evident in NATO and the Department of Health guidance and training.

Cognitive Stimulation Therapy - a new therapy for dementia
Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) is an evidence-based, brief, group therapy for people with mild to moderate dementia. It was developed and evaluated by UCL in collaboration with Bangor University. Our research showed significant benefits in cognition and quality of life plus cost-effectiveness. Cognitive Stimulation for people with mild/moderate dementia of all types is recommended by NICE and is now in widespread use across the UK and the rest of the world in a variety of settings including care homes, hospitals and the community. A recent audit by the Memory Services National Accreditation Programme reported that 66% of UK memory clinics surveyed were using CST.
Conflict management and post-conflict reconstruction in Casamance, Senegal
Martin Evans' research concerns conflict and its aftermath in the Casamance region of southern Senegal — the scene of West Africa's longest-running insurgency. His work has influenced policy, humanitarian and development activity in the region and beyond, and has informed Western governments, international agencies and non-governmental organisations in their interventions to support peacebuilding and `post-conflict' reconstruction. In addition, Evans has provided expert testimony in relation to asylum claims made in Western countries by Casamançais fleeing persecution. Building on his previous work, Evans has conducted the underpinning research for this activity while at Chester as a lecturer (February 2009-July 2011) and senior lecturer (August 2011-present).
His work has a lasting impact because of the situation's intractability and the need to address ongoing violence and human displacement. The conflict also retains the capacity to destabilise neighbouring countries.
Design of a block cipher used in TETRA secure radio
Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) is a very well known, international specification for secure mobile radio and `walkie-talkie' communication, that is extensively used and relied upon by emergency and public safety services such as police, ambulance and fire services, as well as governmental and private bodies. The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) began standardising TETRA in the 1990s and it is now widely used throughout the world. Foundations of its success include resilience and reliability, but security is a major feature, being underpinned by expert cryptographic design. In particular the authentication and key generation mechanisms in TETRA rely on a block cipher (HURDLE) which was designed by a team of cryptographers at Royal Holloway.
The work carried out at Royal Holloway underpins the integrity and security of TETRA safety- critical networks throughout the world to the present day. A secure design for emergency service communications minimises both the amount of disruption criminals can cause to service operations, and the amount of operational information such criminals can glean from eavesdropping, contributing to the safety and security of society as a whole as well as the economic benefits to manufacturers of TETRA-based equipment.

Developing and sustaining effective multi-agency systems to safeguard children from harm
Senior managers in agencies in contact with children are frequently criticised, particularly in reports following child deaths, for failing to facilitate collaborative working to safeguard children. Yet, developing and sustaining collaborative systems is not easy. To assist managers, Horwath and Morrison developed a conceptual framework and, in collaboration with policy-makers and managers in Wales, added standards and indicators. These combine to form the building blocks likely to create a safe, multidisciplinary, child protection system. Their research has:
Impacted on the development of multidisciplinary safeguarding partnerships in a number of countries.
Enabled policy makers and senior managers to measure system improvements.
Informed statutory guidance.

The Battle For The Second Screen
by Sarah Timmings July 30, 2012
The second screen is not new to consumers. In fact most of us have been switching focus between our television and our phones, tablets, or computers even before the habit was given a name. Although the second screen has been gaining its foothold for years now, marketers and networks are still struggling to figure out the best way to capitalize on the trend.
One way or another, the second screen is here to stay. This is a big deal for marketers and networks alike because we are not as good at doing two things at once as we think we are. Psychology fun fact: multitasking is impossible. It's true. Our brains our incapable of splitting focus; we are not wired to work that way. We may be getting better at going back and forth between switching our focus in a fraction of a second, but at no point can we truly be focusing on two things at once.
Use of tablet while watching tv
And here is where the second screen comes in. We know that everyone is sitting in front of their televisions with their phone in their hand or their tablet on their lap. As much as we love to call ourselves mutlitaskers, we are only capable of paying attention to one screen at once. The winning screen is increasingly becoming the second screen.
Every major television event – the Super Bowl, the Olympics, the Oscars, and the 2012 election – come with their very own app for second screen viewing. Then there are the network apps (HBO, Showtime, and all the major networks) and even apps for specific shows. All of these apps create a problem for users, marketers, and networks alike.
As Somrat Niyogi points out in "Please Don't Ruin the Second Screen," there are simply too many of these apps. It is easy enough to create them, and therefore the space has become more than a little crowded. People are not going to download an app for every show they watch. It is confusing for users, distracting for marketers, and a waste of time for the networks.
One solution is to build a second screen viewing app that aggregates content and provides a central portal for all second screen experiences. But this is tricky because the second screen experience is personal. Is your second screen experience about social interaction, or is it about exclusive content? Or is it about something else entirely? Miso is a good start, but there are still some serious limits. To start with, the user needs to set a lot of the content up themselves which is more work than the average person may care to do at the end of their day. These apps are also combatting other tablet and phone activities such as browsing Facebook, email, Pinterest, and Twitter.
Use of phone while watching tv
If a unified second screen app does appear and gain popularity, the possibilities for marketers are endless. Ads can be served via the app that are specifically tailored towards the user. Networks already try to out the most relevant ads on the air, but by adding the second screen users can learn about deals only in their area or highlight products used in the show a user is watching. If successful, this integration between the television and the second screen can also enable advertisers to link users' TV watching behavior to their existing online profiles. And of course, the ads users are exposed to will not be limited to the commercial breaks because the app can serve a constant stream of text or display ads at all times. Users may even be permitted to set ad preferences similar to the Hulu model.
What do you think the second screen means for marketing and advertising?

On the 26th of September 2015, a new exhibition entitled In the Realm of Others opened at the De La Warr Pavilion. For the staff working there, myself included, we were intrigued, excited and perhaps a little apprehensive. We expected that it would do well but at the same time, we were aware that this art show was unlike anything we had presented before. Individuals with complex needs have produced the work, and they all attend Project Art Works, an artist-led organisation established in 1997.
The doors to Gallery One interest the public as they walk past. They turn their heads in curiosity and peer through the glass. They behold an unusual, impressive looking structure and it entices them to enter. They pause to read the information provided and admire the stunning framed doorway that is the Project Artworks archive. This contains rows of canvas paintings and drawings from the makers who regularly attend Project Art Works.
The visitors hear some peculiar sounds as they read the information on the wall: they are initially puzzled until they realise that they can hear the splashing of liquid, the drips and dabbing of paint markers, the scratching of pencils over paper and shaken bottles of paint. This is an audible recording of the makers in progress.As visitors move through the first section of the gallery, they see Sharif Persaud's self-portrait in front of them. There are murmurs of how wonderful it is. They turn their heads to the right and view the lively art works presented there. Marion Willis's ink and pencil picture is coloured delicately and it has the appearance of a butterfly's wing or an oriental fan. One guest describes Neville Jermyn's Barbary Ape as 'adorable'. Darryl Spencer also has his self-portrait here. Eden Kötting's Dorothy Still Life picture evokes happy memories from childhood and brings forth recollections of watching the timeless film.
The next section of the gallery has guests exclaiming in delight to each other. They had no idea how much variety and skill there would be in this exhibition. Carl Sexton's multi-coloured dot paintings have been compared many times to famous artists like Jackson Pollock, sparking discussions about the magical, otherworldly quality it has and how much time it must have taken him to do.
Michelle Roberts Birds in Nests painting introduces them to the abilities of a woman who perceives the world in the most remarkable detail and colour. Michelle also has other work displayed in the gallery and people quickly realise how exceptional her talent is.
Darryl Spencer's large process works inspire many thoughts; one in particular has tight, circular arcs of paint. Some people note that it looks like patterns in a kaleidoscope or that it has a likeness to jewels, freshly chopped fruit, bubbles or cells in a human body.
George Smith's three vibrant paintings are a particular favourite with children. The black and neon orange paint in one of them is particularly alluring. As an invigilator, it has been insightful, and at times highly amusing, to watch and overhear small children declare confidently to their parents that they know exactly what the images are. Young children talk about it with their own opinions and ideas, sometimes connecting with the artwork better than adults do. George's younger brother, Sam Smith, has two of his canvases here too. Sam's bright shades in his 'pour paintings' represent energetic bursts of spontaneity and a joyful sense of excitement that most adults sadly leave behind in childhood. His first one is a captivating mix of red, pale pink, blue and grey. Sam's other painting contains explosions of blood reds, dark pinks and green. We hear frequent whispers about how extraordinary they are.
Many of the visitors enjoy and appreciate the art, and strangers, who have never met before converse with each other. They step inside the darkened room to watch the video Modus Operandi, a video of the makers at work at the Parachute Club. This video provides a connection to the art; it shows some of the makers involved and links the visitors' experience to the art itself.
Albert Geere has nine of his creations in the gallery. These lovely, intensely colourful pictures of houses and intricate shapes are a favourite with all ages. Houses are a popular theme of Albert's and the geometric elements and soft pastel colours give these special images their unique design.
An allocated studio area allowed the makers to come in and produce work within the gallery itself. On certain allocated days, people were able to observe the makers involved in various projects, and to view the kind of sessions that Project Art Works provides. In the final days when the practical sessions were finished, the workshop wall had a selection of Polaroid photographs, revealing key moments from Project Art Works years of history.
The drawing section of the gallery featured drawings by Darryl Spencer, David Marriot, Brian Simpkin, Louise Newham and Jonathan Rogers. These striking black and white pencil and graphite drawings have enthralled visitors, many of who have wanted to purchase them. Darryl Spencer's Untitled (wave 1) picture is filled with curved brush strokes giving the picture a dream like essence with merging colours of purple, lilac, black, turquoise and dark blue.
Visitors head towards the back of the gallery and spy a glass cabinet containing animals constructed from pipe cleaners. Gabriella Rapisarda's Creatures are amazing and there are sea life animals, an eagle with tinsel wings and a charming little dragon with pink tinsel claws. These draw many smiles from the public.
Another video that visitors are able to relax and watch is entitled No Church in the Wild. This beautifully filmed video follows some of the makers on a group expedition to the St Thomas a Becket church located in Fairfield, Kent. This is an attractive and remote location within the Kent countryside.
At the back of the gallery, further surprises await the visitor. Jonathan Roger's painting is a warm mix of red, pink and orange hues. Paul Colley and Cherry Lane have produced a huge black, white and yellow picture. This has a futuristic and galaxy like scene about it that has fascinated many visitors. Another of Michelle Roberts' paintings Sea Life is a glimpse into a new and mysterious world of quirky creatures.
Guests were encouraged to post their comments and questions in a book but they could also write on a square of paper and place it on the wall. What is art? How do we define it? Did the makers know they were creating art? Are we all artists in our own way? Questions such as these turned this section of the gallery into an educational environment for interesting and thought provoking debates.
As an invigilator who has worked at the De La Warr Pavilion for many years, I believe that In the Realm of Others has been a resounding success. It has opened up a new world of discovery to both staff and visitors and has promoted diversity in art, health, disability and life. People have left the gallery with new ideas, an awareness of others and an experience that stays with them. Some have returned many times to see it again. For some it was a moving experience, for others it was enriching, and some felt motivated to have a go at creating art themselves or with their families.
What has made this exhibition so appealing to visitors? The makers seem to live in the moment and enjoy life whereas we tend to worry constantly about the past or we fret about the future. Can we find that same kind of spontaneity and joyful sense of freedom in ourselves? Possibly, but only if we are willing to open our minds to the fact that we all perceive life differently and as long as we respect that, there is nothing to be afraid of with creating art. We can all find our 'way', just as the makers of Project Art Works have found theirs.

Bengaluru: Electorate in Karnataka will not be allowed to carry smart-phones or mobile phones inside the polling booth while going to vote to prevent them from taking selfies or recording videos, an official said on Sunday.
"The Model Code of Conduct (MCC) prevents voters from carrying mobile phones or smart-phones and cameras inside the polling booth. In fact, no voter will be allowed to take his/her cellphone within 100 metres radius of the booth.
"They will have to leave it at home or deposit it with the police personnel before entering the booth," Karnataka Chief Electoral Officer Sanjiv Kumar told IANS.
"The provision to not allow mobile phones or smart-phones inside the booth was observed more in breach in the past, as not many voters had them a decade or five years ago or carried them while going to vote," recalled senior poll official Surya Sen.
"This year, the security personnel have been instructed to prevent voters from carrying a mobile or a smartphone inside the booth," said Kumar.
"If the security personnel are busy, the voters can leave their devices with party agents who sit outside the booths with the voter lists," Kumar added.
The state's 14 Lok Sabha constituencies in the central and southern regions go to polls on April 18, while the remaining 14 parliamentary seats cast their vote on April 23.


Ironically, some of the most adorable creatures in the animal kingdom can actually be quite fierce and even deadly to us humans. While your instincts might tell you to run up and try to pet one of these cute animals, fight the urge because that decision might lead you to get seriously harmed or worse. So, check out these animals that are so unbelievably cute it makes it hard to believe that they would be capable of harming anything. This knowledge might come in handy in the future.
The Tetraodontidae is a marine family that consists of species known as pufferfish, puffers, blowfish, and balloonfish, among other names. They are closely related to the porcupine fish which has external spines unlike the Tetraodontidae, which only expose their spines when inflated. The majority of pufferfish species are highly toxic and are some of the most poisonous vertebrates in the world.
They are highly toxic to most animals, including humans, although their meat is considered a delicacy in Japan which can only be prepared by knowledgeable and skilled chefs who know what part of the fish to eat and the exact quantity.
Native to sub-Saharan Africa, the common hippopotamus is one of two species of the family Hippopotamidae with the other being the pygmy hippopotamus. They are the third largest land mammal behind the elephant and rhinoceros with their name meaning "water horse" in ancient Greek.
Although they may appear to be harmless and slow in the water and on land, they are one of the most dangerous animals in the world due to being highly aggressive and unpredictable. They can run faster than humans, capsize boats and are responsible for more than 500 deaths in Africa per year.
The slow loris has eight different species spread across Southeast Asia. They are excellent climbers with their arms and legs around the same lengths and adaptations which give them an incredibly strong grip for long periods of time. While they may be adorable with their small bodies, round faces, and big eyes, their looks can be deceiving.
These critters have a very toxic bite, something that is rare among mammals and most primates. They lick a gland fon their arm on in order to get the toxin on their mouth and is activated by their saliva in order to ward off predators.
While many seals have been referred to as "dogs of the sea," the leopard seal doesn't quite fit that description. Also known as a sea leopard, they are the second-largest species in the Antarctic behind the elephant seal. Leopard seals are very bold, aggressive, and dangerous animals with their only true predators being the killer whale.
Being an apex predator, they present a danger to humans. There have been several cases of leopard seals stalking, showing aggressive behavior, and even cases of leopard seals attacking and killing divers.
While the cute "trash pandas" can be found both in the wild as well as metropolitan areas, you don't want to go taking one home with you. They are the largest of the procyonid family and are noted for their intelligence, as they can remember the solution to a problem for over 3 years.
Although they're not deliberately aggressive toward humans, it's best to keep away from them as they carry extremely harmful diseases such as rabies and mites. However, they also carry lesser-known and more dangerous diseases such as tularemia, leptospirosis, and toxocariasis.
Kangaroos are marsupials that are indigenous to Australia. They have extremely powerful legs, large feet, and a muscular tail that provides both balance and protection. In most circumstances, kangaroos don't present any immediate threat to humans, but their size and power makes them formidable if an aggressive interaction were to take place.
While few unprovoked attacks on humans have been recorded, many of the attacks that have occurred come from owners protecting their dogs which kangaroos have a tendency to become aggressive towards.
Even though wolverines look like a cute small bear, they should be regarded as much more than that. They can be found in remote areas of Europe, Asia, and North America, traveling up 15 miles a day in search of food. They are the largest land-dwelling species of the family Mustelidae and are small but extremely powerful carnivores.
Their name comes from the German word that means "devours much," as they are extremely aggressive with the ability to kill prey much larger than itself. While wolverines have a reputation for being ferocious, they're not the killing machines that they're made out to be, but you wouldn't want to face-off with one in the wild.
Dingoes are wild dogs native to Australia, but just because it's a dog doesn't mean you should try and give it a belly rub. They are a medium-sized canine built for running quickly for extended periods of time. Dingoes can be tame when in frequent contact with humans or when raised from puppyhood.
For the most part, wild dingoes avoid contact with humans, although they are large enough to be a threat. Yet attacks do happen, mostly when people attempt to feed them which have resulted in both minor and serious attacks.
A species of great ape, chimpanzees share DNA with modern humans and show high levels of intelligence with almost all populations being recorded using tools and living in close-knit societies. While chimpanzees are commonly tamed and raised with frequent human interaction, wild chimpanzees have been known to attack humans.
In Uganda, several attacks on children have been recorded as interactions between humans and chimps can be extremely dangerous if they perceive the human as a threat. They are incredibly powerful and have sharp teeth that can cause fatal injuries to humans.
The platypus or duck-billed platypus is a semi-aquatic, egg-laying mammal which can be found in eastern Australia and Tasmania. Upon their discovery, the animal confused many naturalists who didn't believe in their existence due to their physiology, their ability to lay eggs, and the fact that they are venomous.
Both the male and female platypus has a spur on its hind foot, yet only the males are capable of releasing a venom. Although not fatal to humans, it can kill small animals such as dogs. The venom has the ability to incapacitate a human and the pain has been recorded to last from days to even months.
The blue-ringed octopus might be a marvel to look at but stay as far away as you can. They can be found in tide pools and coral reefs in the Pacific and the Indian Ocean ranging from Japan to Australia. Although they have a diet of mostly crustaceans, they are one of the world's most venomous marine animals with their colors drastically changing when threatened.
Regardless of their small size of only 5 to 8 inches, the tetrodotoxin in their venom is 1,200 times more toxic than cyanide. On humans, their venom can lead to nausea, paralysis, respiratory arrest, heart failure, and death in minutes if not treated.
Due to their loss of habitat as a result of climate change, polar bears have become more aggressive and unpredictable towards humans as they now are forced to kill and eat just about anything they can get their hands on. While other bear attacks aren't always fatal, the majority of polar bear attacks are and result in them consuming their victim.
Panda bears, or the giant panda, are known to be relatively docile creatures, and one of the least aggressive out of all the bear species. Native to south-central China, they are almost entirely herbivores whose diet consists of 99% of bamboo although they have been known to eat other grasses and on occasion small birds, rodents, and carrion.
Although they aren't a threat to humans, their incredible bite force from eating bamboo makes them formidable. They have been known to attack humans not out of aggression but irritation, with the results causing severe injuries and even death.
Although swans have grown to become a symbol of elegance or beauty, they have an aggressive side if you encroach on their territory, especially if they have young. Mute swans are native to Eurasia although they have been introduced in North America, Australasia, and southern Africa.
Mute swans are much more territorial than other swans and use the bony spurs on the back of their wings and powerful bills to ward off intruders. Supposedly their wings are powerful enough to break a man's leg and regularly attack people who wander into their territory.
Moose may appear to be over-sized lovable animals, but they're much more fierce then most people anticipate. They are the largest and heaviest extant species in the deer family, reaching up to seven feet tall and commonly found in boreal forests in the Northern Hemisphere to subarctic climates. Although moose are not typically aggressive towards humans, if they are provoked or suddenly frightened, they can become increasingly formidable.
The Tasmanian devil is a carnivorous marsupial that is native to Australia though can now be found in Tasmania maria island. Around the size of a small dog, Tasmanian devils are the largest carnivorous marsupial alive and are known to be muscular, ferocious, and have a blood-curdling screech.
Its large head also gives it the strongest bite per unit body mass of any living mammal land predator, making it particularly dangerous. Myths have come about that they hunt humans in the wild though they have been known to feed on the corpses of deceased humans. Although they're not always aggressive to humans, you don't want to be anywhere around one that is.
Komodo dragons are a fierce species of lizard that reside in various islands in Indonesia. They can grow up to be 10 feet in length, weighing 150 pounds, making them the biggest living species of lizard. Because of their size, the lizards dominate their ecosystem and have competition from other predators.
In some cases, the lizards have been found to have venom that can harm anything which it bites. Aside from that, they can be aggressive in nature, although attacks on humans are rare. Yet, according to Komodo National Park, between 1974 and 2012 there were 24 reported attacks on humans with five of them being fatal.
Although rats may not appear to be the most fierce or formidable creatures in the wild, that couldn't be further from the truth. While some people might keep them as pets, wild rats are extremely dangerous as they act as zoonotic vectors for pathogens and easily spread disease.
In the 14th century, Europe was hit by the Bubonic Plague, a pandemic which resulted in the death of 20 million people in Europe, over one-third of the continent's population. The disease was spread by populations of fleas that were carried by ground rodents, mainly the black rat.
Cassowaries are a flightless bird that are native ti New Guinea, East Nusa Tenggara, northeastern Australia, and the Maluku Islands. While there are three different species, the southern cassowary is the most common and the third-tallest and second-heaviest bird on earth. Typically shy creatures without much intelligence, if provoked, they are capable of severely harming and killing humans.
They have three-toed feet with sharp claws and incredibly powerful legs that can disembowel if used to kick someone. In 2003, a historical study that that out of 221 cassowary attacks 150 had been against humans although 75% of them were a result of people feeding them.
For the most part, elephants are understood to be gentle giants, as they should be. Other animals tend to stay away from them with predators only going after their young for fear of attacking a matured one. They are incredibly intelligent, bringing up controversy whether they should be put on display in zoos or for other means of entertainment.
While elephants are usually viewed as mild-mannered animals, they can show aggression towards other animals and humans. In places where elephants are native, it's not uncommon for them to trample through villages, killing people with more than 300 killed between 2000 and 2004 in eastern India.

Shankar's Success at International Competition
You are here | Home | News | Shankar's Success at International Competition
Harish Shankar, the RNCM's Junior Fellow in Conducting, won Third Prize in the Sixth Jorma Panula Conducting Competition.
Held in Finland last week, the competition is described as 'one of the most prestigious new-generation conducting contests in Europe', offering young European conductors an exciting opportunity to gain valuable experience, promote their own work and raise their profile. It is led by (and named after) Professor Jorma Panula, who has been training young conductors for almost 40 years, and is organised by the Viljo and Maire Vuorio Foundation in collaboration with the City of Vaasa.
Twenty conductors competed in this year's competition, which included first and second preliminary rounds and a semi-final, with three making it through to the final. For this, each competitor was asked to conduct the Vaasa City Orchestra in movements of two pieces.
Harish, who won 6000 euros and will conduct performance of RNCM Opera's Street Scene next month, said: 'The competition was a new and amazing experience. There was strong camaraderie among the participants and an amazing sense of good will and enthusiasm from the wonderful orchestras that took part. It was a joy making such beautiful music with them, and meeting Maestro Panula and Magnus Lindberg was brilliant.'
Jorma Panula added: 'Charisma and the ability to communicate with an orchestra are two of the properties I look for in a winner.'

Palm Sunday is a historic day for believers all around the world. It's a day to remember that Jesus is not only a humble King, but a compassionate one who demonstrated incredible miracles like healing the sick. He is the God of miracles.

Twitter as a network is different than Facebook in the fact that the updates are mostly happening in real time. While Twitter does have features to help user views for tweets that occurred in the past, users will still see many tweets in real time.
The overall Twitter algorithm is continually changing – sometimes daily or weekly. While it may seem almost impossible to keep up with, there is a rhyme and reason to the changes.
The first two groups are determined by a relevancy score that is determined by characteristics of the tweet: its engagement, your relationship to the poster, and how you use Twitter in general.
If you are looking to improve your reach, there still are a few things you can do now with the knowledge of how the feed functions. Dive into your Twitter Analytics and learn which tweets are gaining the most engagement. On Twitter, it is common to reuse your top tweets. By sharing these again, you are expanding the reach of the tweet's audience and hopefully improving its engagement.
It's important to dive into the analytics to view this information. Sometimes your top tweets may not be garnering any likes or retweets, but people are clicking on the external links shared within them. If you are not tracking this, you may be misidentifying the ones that are most prevalent.
As you get in the habit of reviewing your analytics, be sure to continue to rotate new content into your feed so that your followers are not only receiving recycled content. Also, play with posting times. Your audience may be more active during one time of the day over another. If you are only posting when they are offline, then you may be losing opportunities to reach them, especially if you are not receiving a high enough relevancy score.

Daniele Pellissier (* 1904 in Valtournenche; † 1972) war ein italienischer Skisportler und Bergführer.

Leben
Pellissier belegte bei den Olympischen Winterspielen 1924 im französischen Chamonix für die Schweiz im 18-km-Langlauf-Wettbewerb Platz 15. Bei den Nordischen Skiweltmeisterschaften 1927 in Cortina d'Ampezzo erreichte er für Italien im 18-km-Langlauf Platz 8 und im 50-km-Langlauf Platz 9. Bei den Olympischen Winterspielen 1928 in St. Moritz war er Teilnehmer der italienischen Mannschaft beim Demonstrationsbewerb Militärpatrouille, die den vierten Platz belegte. Zudem belegte er im 18-km-Skilanglauf den 15. Platz.

Mit seinem Bruder, dem Bergführer Jean Pellissier (eigentl. Giovanni Giuseppe Pellissier; 1912–1987) – wegen seiner 300 Matterhorn-Begehungen auch "il Diavolo del Cervino" (zu Deutsch "der Teufel des Matterhorns") genannt – und dem 1938 verunglückten Ottone Bron aus Courmayeur besuchte er den ersten im Dezember 1932 von der FISI in Claviere organisierten und durchgeführten Skilehrerkurs.

Zusammen mit seinem Bruder sowie den Berg- und Skisportlern Rolando Zanni (1914–2000), Giulio Bich (1907–2003) und Ernesto Pession gehörte er 1936 zu den Mitbegründern der lokalen Skischule am Matterhorn, der Scuola di sci del Cervino.

1953 wurde den Brüdern Pellissier die Targa d'Argento Premio Internazionale Solidarietà Alpina durch die Gemeinde Pinzolo ("Silberplakette Internationaler Preis der Alpensolidarität von Pinzolo") verliehen.

Trivia
1955 wurde von der Rettungsaktion einer Katze vom Gipfel des Matterhorns durch die beiden Brüder berichtet.

TLD Registry Ltd (referred to in this policy document as "TLD Registry" or with the pronoun "us") is the exclusive operator of two Top Level Domains (TLDs), Dot Chinese Online (.在线) and Dot Chinese Website (.中文网). Both our TLDs have been created for the express purpose of encouraging the use of all contemporary forms of Chinese Language in Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs). Our Registry Agreement (RA) with the internet's governing body for domain names, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), allows Chinese Language in all Dot Chinese Online & Dot Chinese Website domain names.
The policies which follow this introduction define our rules for IDN registrations, and provide examples of the various forms of Chinese Language in contemporary use.
TLD Registry fully complies with all relevant Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), International Standards Organization (ISO), ICANN and other internet standards as well as the ICANN RA which empowers us to register IDNs in our TLDs. Relevant internet standards include IETF RFCs which comprise IDNA2008 (RFC 5890, RFC 5891, RFC 5892, RFC 5893, RFC 5894). Our use of Unicode Points in our IDNs is fully compliant with relevant standards.
TLD Registry's RA with ICANN approves the use of "Chinese Language" in our IDNs.
Chinese Language comprises hundreds of dialects of the common language metagroup known as Chinese. The overwhelming majority of Chinese speakers use the Mandarin or Cantonese dialects. Mandarin Chinese is typically written in Simplified Chinese characters in China's mainland, and in Traditional Chinese characters in Taiwan and some other parts of the Chinese-speaking world. Mandarin is also written in the Mandarin Pinyin romanization system, and as such uses ASCII characters. Pinyin is in ubiquitous use in China's mainland and worldwide – it is the first form of Chinese which every mainland Chinese child is taught. Regardless that Mandarin Pinyin is written in ASCII characters, it is not English. It is a pure and Chinese-government-standardized form of Mandarin Chinese.
Cantonese is the dominant form of Chinese in the southern parts of China's mainland, Hong Kong, Macau, and most "Chinatowns" around the world. Cantonese is typically written in Traditional Chinese characters. In systems analogous to Mandarin Pinyin, Cantonese is commonly romanized using ASCII characters. The major forms of romanized Cantonese include without exception Barnett-Chao, Meyer-Wempe, Standard, Guangdong Romanization, Hong Kong Government Romanization, Yale, and Jyutping.
TLD Registry is committed to supporting the increased use of Chinese Language on the internet, and our policy is one of inclusiveness for all Chinese Language users, regardless of their preferred variant of Chinese Language. IDNs in Dot Chinese Online (.在线) and Dot Chinese Website (.中文网) may be formed from any instance of Chinese Language.
Our Shared Registration System (SRS) enables the creation of IDNs that contain Chinese Language Unicode characters or Romanized Chinese Language in ASCII characters. The numerals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 and the hyphen character (-) are also allowed.
IDN registrations are tested against the allowable Chinese and ASCII characters contained in our IDN Tables, and if those characters appear in the IDN Tables, and the order of characters constitutes a unique and allowable IDN, the IDN will be registered with the Language Tag "Chinese / ZH".
All forms of Chinese Language are included in the Language Tag "Chinese / ZH" (such as Simplified Chinese aka Hanzi, Traditional Chinese aka Fantizi, Pinyin, Guobao, BIG5, etc.) In principle, we are committed to empowering contemporary Chinese Language by allowing as many unique characters as possible, and our IDN Tables reflect this policy.
Please refer to our IDN Tables for a detailed presentation of allowable characters.
Our policy for Chinese Character Variants is key for allowing or disallowing certain IDN registrations.
In layman's terms, a "Variant Set" is a group of Chinese characters which use similar but different visual representations of the same character. Variants exist in Chinese Language due to the ancient and rich development of the Chinese writing system over some 5000 years.
When one variant of a Chinese character is registered in a unique IDN, the IDN becomes canonical, and other IDNs using variant characters in the same position become Blocked and will not resolve. If a canonical IDN expires and is not renewed by the Registrant, the IDN and all variants of that IDN become available for a new registration.
Please refer to our IDN Tables for a detailed presentation of our Variant Sets.
It is a feature of contemporary Chinese Language that many English and some other-language words have entered the popular lexicon. Hundreds of millions of Chinese citizens and ethnic Chinese people have incorporated these loan words into their Chinese. Further, some brands have elected to go-to-market in Chinese regions with their English or non-Chinese brand names ("IBM" is an example).
As our mission is to reflect contemporary Chinese in all its forms, so as to empower Chinese speakers to use their own language online, we permit such loan words to be registered.
Single character IDNs, using Simplified or Traditional Chinese characters, are permissible if compliant with our IDN policies. This is because single Chinese characters are analogous to multi-character English words, and to disallow single character Chinese IDNs would eliminate approximately 40% of Chinese words in contemporary use.
Single and two-character IDNs using ASCII characters are not permissible.
The maximum number of characters which our IDNs support, whether written in Simplified or Traditional Chinese characters or ASCII is 63.
The hyphen character (-) is not permissible in the first, third or forth position in any of our IDNs. It is permissible in any other position.
ICANN requires us to Reserve certain IDNs to ensure predictable operation of the global Domain Name System (DNS).
We reserve the right to prohibit certain IDNs which may not be compliant with the laws of the countries we support. Our decision on such prohibited IDNs is final.
Some IDNs are Reserved by us for special purposes, such as IDNs Reserved as Premium Domain Names, or for special use in our Registry's operations.
Policy version 1.2 / Updated 9th April, 2014.
Changelog version 1.1: additional policy added to clarify permissible length of our IDNs and permissible use of hyphen character (-).
Changelog version 1.2: clarified the permissible nature of non-Chinese loan words; added explainer infographic.

Thai and Australian sailors turnout in numbers for 11th Top of the Gulf Regatta Presented by Ocean Marina
<< Back to News
The 11th Top of the Gulf Regatta Presented by Ocean Marina is set to welcome sailors from around the world, lead by a strong Thai and Australian contingent, to compete in what has become Asia's largest multi-class regatta, held at South East Asia's largest marina, Ocean Marina.
Sailors are competing for three perennial trophies: Top of the Gulf Regatta trophy, the prestigious Coronation Cup, competed for by the one-design platu class, and the Thailand Optimist National Championships, which combined make the award-winning Top of the Gulf Regatta one of the most diverse class line-ups in the region.
The keelboat and multihull course sees Bill Bremner's Foxy Lady VI back to defend their title. Current holders of the 2013/14 AsianYachting Grand Prix title, Bremner has handed over the helm to Australian Steve McConaghy who will be hoping to hold off of a strong IRC 1 fleet including local favourite Kevin Whitcraft's Wan Marang, and Nick Burns' well campaigned EFG Mandrake from Hong Kong, who are competing at the Top of the Gulf Regatta Presented by Ocean Marina for the first time.
"The fleet is shaping up to be one of the most competitive yet with a number of new international entries in the keelboat and multihull classes, including top sailors from Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia, and a number of past champions back to defend their titles ," said Mr. William Gasson, Co-Chairman, Top of the Gulf Regatta Organising Committee.
The Coronation Cup, established to celebrate the Coronation Date of His Majesty the King of Thailand (5th May) – who himself is a proficient sailor winning the gold-medal at the 1967 SEA Games – sees a near-record line-up with crews from as far away as the UK taking part.
"The Coronation Cup is an integral part of the Top of the Gulf Regatta and has grown to become the largest one-design racing competition in the region. This years fleet includes some top sailors – both regular competitors and new faces. It is a multi-national fleet with Australians the biggest contingent, and they will be challenging defending champion Scott Duncanson for the Cup," commented Mr. Gasson.
Dominated by Thai sailors, including many from the national team, the dinghy and beach catamaran fleets are expected to exceed 50 entries with the Thai competitors up against a strong team from Malaysia as well as sailors from Singapore, Hong Kong and beyond.
The Thailand Optimist National Championships is the Kingdom's second-oldest sailing competition. Celebrating a milestone, it's 40th year, a record fleet of more than 130 boats is expected.
"We have hosted the national optimist championships as part of the Top of the Gulf Regatta since we started the Regatta 11 years ago. Providing a competitive racing opportunity of international standard has helped develop many young Thai sailors who have sailed and won in World competitions recently," added Mr. Gasson.
"We are expecting a record fleet of more than 130 optimist sailors. The large Thai fleet are up against sailors from Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Hong Kong and Myanmar".
The Regatta has been active in supporting grassroots sailing and youth development since its inception and this year Ocean Marina Yacht Club have sponsored a group of young Thai sailors from the Phuket Sunshine Village orphanage in Phuket, to compete in the national championships as part of the Phuket Youth Sailing Club team.
Organised by the Top of the Gulf Regatta Organising Committee under the auspices of the Yacht Racing Association of Thailand, the Platu Yacht Association, Ocean Marina Yacht Club and Royal Varuna Yacht Club, the Top of the Gulf Regatta Presented by Ocean Marina is held 30th April to 4th May at Ocean Marina Yacht Club, Jomtien, Pattaya, Thailand.

This thesis considers the narratives of eight M ori chook keepers from the Waikato rohe, Aotearoa. The Waikato rohe has been selected due to its significant history of M ori horticultural and agricultural practises, including chook keeping.
I build on the growing corpus of m tauranga about indigenous studies. Using a postcolonial, feminist and Kaupapa M ori theoretical framework, I undertook five semi-structured interviews and one focus r p with M ori kaum tua. This thesis does not attempt to represent all M ori. There may be considerable difference between wh nau, hap and iwi practices. However, the rangahau provides insights into the views of eight individuals and their experiences with chooks. I have also utilised Country Calendar (1970; 1977a; 1977b and 1980) episodes and children's pukapuka such as Nanny Mihi's Garden (Drewery 2002) for the purposes of discourse analysis.
By listening to these stories, kaupapa including race, class and ethnicity emerge that affect the participants' everyday lives as chook keepers. The participants view chooks in a variety of ways. First, as a means of food production. By integrating chooks into their communities, the participants are able to provide a nutritious and low-cost kai source for themselves and their wh nau. This attempts to at least in part address their poverty problems. Second, as a hybridised P keh and M ori kararehe. Third, as hysterical, comical, silly and helpless. I explore these issues within the broader context of colonial, neocolonial and anticolonial practices.

Impact-factor-of-pharmacology
Pharmacology (from Greek pharmakon, "harm" in standard Greek; "tranquilize" in present day Greek; and -λογία, -logia "investigation of", "information of") is the limb of solution and science concerned with the investigation of pill action, where a medication could be comprehensively characterized as any man-made, natural, or endogenous (inside the form) atom which pushes a biochemical or physiological impact on the unit, tissue, organ, or creature. All the more explicitly, it is the investigation of the interaction that happen between a living creature and chemicals that influence ordinary or irregular capacity. Assuming that substances have medicinal lands, they are acknowledged pharmaceuticals. The field envelops drug organization and lands, combination and drug outline, sub-atomic and cell systems, organ/systems components, sign transduction/cellular correspondence, sub-atomic diagnostics, connections, toxicology, concoction science, treatment, and therapeutic provisions and antipathogenic abilities. The two fundamental territories of pharmacology are pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics. The previous studies the impacts of the pill on organic frameworks, and the last the impacts of living frameworks on the medication. In expansive terms, pharmacodynamics talks over the chemicals with organic receptors, and pharmacokinetics talks over the ingestion, circulation, metabolism, and discharge (Adme) of chemicals from the natural frameworks. Pharmacology is not synonymous with drug store and the two terms are habitually befuddled. Pharmacology, a biomedical science, manages the exploration, finding, and characterization of chemicals which indicate biotic impacts and the explanation of cell and organismal capacity in connection to these chemicals. Conversely, drug store, a health administrations calling, is concerned with provision of the standards gained experience from pharmacology in its clinical settings; if it be in an apportioning or clinical forethought part. In either field, the essential differentiation between the two is their qualifications between immediate understanding nurture, drug store practice, and the science-situated examination field, driven by pharmacology. The impact factor of journal provides quantitative assessment tool for grading, evaluating, sorting and comparing journals of similar kind. It reflects the average number of citations to recent articles published in science and social science journals in a particular year or period, and is frequently used as a proxy for the relative importance of a journal within its field. It is first devised by Eugene Garfield, the founder of the Institute for Scientific Information. The impact factor of a journal is evaluated by dividing the number of current year citations to the source items published in that journal during the previous two years.

Great day fishing on the Intra Coastal in Edgewater Florida. I caught a few Spotted Sea Trout. (with my D.O.A. Cal Shad baits talked about here) A couple were about a foot. One was 16″ and the other was 14″.
The 14″ one was just under slot size here in the "South East trout management zone" where I fish. I was only able to keep one due to size regulations. They have to be at least 15″ but under 20″. You can keep 4 fish per person and one of those can be over 20″.
I filet this guy up and ate him. It was really good! A really nice delicate white meat.
It was a hot day fishing. Temperatures were near 100° and water temps were around 90°. I kept fairly cool (if you can say that in this July heat in Florida) with a nice breeze and my Columbia fishing shirts. Those shirts are a must here in Florida in the summer months. All in all it was a fun day and saw a bunch of wildlife. Lots of birds, dolphin and Redfish. Hope to get back out soon.
