Industry Interactions with Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman
USISPF hosted Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman for a series of one-on-one interactions and roundtable meetings with investors in Boston, New York City, and Washington, DC. The strong participation was a sign of the ongoing interest in India as a potential investment destination, including for manufacturers seeking to diversify their global supply chains.
Finance Minister Sitharaman took the opportunity to inform U.S. investors about India's post-pandemic economic rebound and new incentive programs in place to facilitate foreign investment, and to hear from participants about various policy and regulatory challenges still to be addressed in the country. In her remarks, the Minister discussed the ways tech-enabled systems had enabled people to survive during the worst of the pandemic by using digital means to collect direct financial support, conduct government transactions, and receive critical market information. She outlined the budget measures taken to boost the recovery, highlighting reforms in insurance, banking, capital market regulation, and privatization.
Many of the participants spoke of large current investments in India and plans for substantially more, particularly if the government's privatization and asset monetization plans move forward quickly. Several also said they are looking to incorporate India more fully into their global supply chains. They commended the pace of reform to date and urged the Minister to work with partners to increase regulatory consistency and transparency throughout the economy. Several also expressed concern about productivity losses from data localization and urged the government to consider a safe harbor policy for data with the United States.
Investors agreed India would benefit from measures to deepen its domestic capital markets and reduce the costs of debt and equity financing in the country. Reducing the size of public sector holdings in the financial sector is a critical first step. Other concrete measures include making it easier for foreign investors to register as Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (QFII) in the country and to hedge their currency risks. They noted additional incentives and support for public private partnerships would support the government's ambitious infrastructure investment goals.
On the issue of climate, several participants expressed eagerness to help finance India's transition to a green economy, while the Minister noted India's deep commitment to the issue, it being one of only a handful of countries to have met its climate goals.
All participants agreed the U.S.-India financial partnership is strong and will benefit from further tangible successes. They remain committed to working together on these issues to support India's economic recovery and boost economic growth, jobs, and investment.

In 1930 the creators of The Mystery League decided to take advantage of the popularity of detective fiction craze and develop an inexpensive, easy to buy, line of crime fiction titles that would directly compete with the higher priced mainline hardcover publishers. They spared no expense in the design of the books which were handsomely bound in three different bindings over its short five and half year life and got at least three different artists to design eye catching, Art Deco inspired, dust jackets which turned out to be their main draw to collectors as the years went by.
Initially, the books were priced at a mere quarter. This was nine years before the idea of the cheaply priced mass market paperback book had been invented which didn't happen until after World War 2 when Simon & Schuster developed the idea with Pocket Books. The odd thing about the Mystery League was choosing as their main distribution point the United Cigar Stores. Later, they added Whelan Drugstores and a few discount department stores like Kaufmann's to their list of places to sell their books. I guess when they realized that women were the main purchasers of these types of books ("According to Sydney M. Bidden, the young executive of the Mystery League which supplies a book a month to the detective-minded public, 60 per cent of the buyers of mystery novels are women" - New York Evening Post, 8/22/32) they decided to look for other places to sell the books. In the final years they found they needed to double the price to fifty cents per book. Apparently, that didn't save them and shortly after the price increase the entire imprint as originally envisioned ceased operation.
In an attempt to increase the sales they also added a mystery solving contest. With the help of the authors of the popular Baffle Books (solve them yourself mysteries published by Doubleday Doran's Crime Club) the publishers placed original mysteries in the back of three books (two shown below) asking readers to send in their solutions with the promise of cash prizes for first, second and third place entries. The answers along with winners' names were published in the next month's book. The answer and winner for the third and last contest never appeared due to the demise of the imprint.
Interestingly, they also stole the idea of the Harper Sealed Mystery for at least one title, perhaps more. In my copy of The Ebony Bed Murder the seal is still intact (see photos below) though it has cracked and chipped over time. I've not read the book and will now probably have to find a reading copy if I ever want to since I have no intention of opening the seal all the way.
Above you'll see the announcement for what was intended as "next month's mystery" after Death Points a Finger. It was never published by The Mystery League, but it's not a phantom title for the "David Frome" portion of Zenith Brown's bibliography. The book was published in the US as Scotland Yard Can Wait (Farrar, 1933) and in the UK as That's Your Man , Inspector! (Longman's, 1934).
MORE ABOUT THE MYSTERY LEAGUE: I thought maybe this imprint had been written about already and I was correct. The possible identity of the artist "Gene" is discussed in great detail in a genealogical detective story of sorts at the blog Tenth Letter of the Alphabet. You'll also find a huge gallery of advertisements showing how the books were marketed over the years as well as the entire article "Women Love Gore" about the fan mail from women readers of The Mystery League books that I quoted above. Diane Plumley covers the books and writers of The Mystery League imprint in her usual cynically amusing way in an article at the Bookshop Blog.
THE STORY: Doris Trent and Nell Witter are two middle-aged women who own The Flower Shop in Pinecrest, a northern California town not far from the San Francisco Bay area. It's a few days before Christmas and their only employee has slipped, fallen, broken both legs and is now recuperating in a hospital. How will they ever cope with the onslaught of last minute Christmas orders for people who say it with flowers? A fortuitous visit from a stranger who just happens to have a wealth of knowledge about plants and flowers and is charming to boot seems to be "a gift from God," as Nell puts it. His name? Barney Miller! But he's not a cop. They hire him on the spot. He works well with the customers and does a better job with choosing and carefully wrapping plants than poor Patrick in the hospital. Can he be too good to be true? Is it too coincidental that he appeared so conveniently? When a woman is found dead in the alley behind the shop and it appears to be yet another victim of a serial killer who has been murdering beautiful young women Doris and Nell suspect Barney may have chosen their shop as a hideout while he continues a murder spree. Of course the mystery of why Barney is at the shop proves to be more complicated than that.
ATMOSPHERE: Said with Flowers (1943) was one of the many "specialty mysteries" that were cropping up in the late 1930s and throughout the 1940s. Perhaps already the savvy editors at Doubleday Doran's esteemed Crime Club imprint who published Nash's book had recognized that murder mysteries set in florists, libraries, department stores and other unusual locales with women amateur sleuths terrorized by stalking murderers were just the gimmick to sell more books to insatiable readers craving new spins on the detective novel.
This was Anne Nash's first book. From the very first paragraph it is clear Nash is emulating the Mignon Eberhart school. As narrated by Doris, who prefers to go by the nickname Dodo, the story is littered with lines like this: "And it was I--unknowingly, innocently, but it was I nevertheless--who helped the murderer commit the crime." And throughout the novel Dodo wavers between trusting Barney as a good worker then disbelieving his presence is anything but sinister and a curse. Barney is made to be the obvious villain of the piece, but anyone who has read these kinds of books just knows that all his mysterious behavior will prove not to be villainous but purposeful, albeit for ulterior motives that are not fully revealed until the closing chapters. There is a burgeoning forbidden romance as well and the reader is meant to be rooting for the lovers to survive all the violence and terror, come out alive and well and headed for the wedding aisle.
The story is overly complicated by the subplot of the serial killer who inexplicably leaves drawings of fish on his victims. The search for this criminal, dubbed "The Karp Killer" by some cynical reporters, is almost completely unnecessary. There's never really any threat to anyone and the character exists only so that Barney can be suspected of being a charming psychopath on the lam. Despite an attempt to obfuscate and confuse the reader with weak red herrings it is clear that the murder of Rosalind Vance is merely a copycat killing because the crime doesn't fit the killer's M.O. Even though a fish drawing is pinned to her corpse she's too old, she was stabbed, and her body is found buried in a trash pile -- details that do not fit any of the circumstances of the previous nine victims' deaths. While all of this seems to be very modern for the 1940s remember that multiple murderer tales had been written by the scores throughout the 1930s, most of them by British writers, some even include the gimmick of copycat killing.
THE CHARACTERS: Dodo is a typical narrator of the Rinehart/Eberhart school. She's not really interesting and her indecision about Barney's guilt or innocence gets to be a bit wearisome. On the other hand her tart tongued partner Nell is more than welcome when she's on the page. Brash, forthright, opinionated and one helluva wiseacre Nell provides the much needed enlivening to all the HIBK claptrap that makes up much of the story. The suspects are types pulled from the Central Casting catalog of murder mystery characters. There is the embittered older sister, the devious husband, a ne'er do well creep who seems to be too interested in women half his age, an assortment of gossipy harridans haunting the florist shop with catty criticisms of wilted flowers and, of course, the young girl in peril who is the object of Barney's affection.
INNOVATIONS: There aren't many to be found here. The story is overloaded with plot devices pulled from the Victorian sensation novel trunk. There are many secrets in the characters' past including the old motif of a child born out of wedlock that shamed the family. Continuing in this vein Dodo has an unnaturally prudish reaction to Barney's penchant for heavy duty swearing. There are four separate references to one incident of Barney swearing up a storm of curse words and foul language that make him seem like the Devil incarnate. She talks about his speech being indicative of pure evil. It's all a bit laughable to most modern readers accustomed to salty and vulgar language.
I will mention an unusual use of a trained dog to literally sniff out clues. The minor policeman character Mark Tudor has a dog named Svea that helps find evidence. The dog comes in very handy at a climactic point late in the story.
Another notable aspect is the rare way with which Nash deals with grieving. Probably because the novel combines the backdrop of a florist's business with the irony of a murder taking place at Christmas time Nash takes advantage of the way people express their emotions through the purchase of flowers. The title of the book becomes a multi-layered metaphor. Grief is openly discussed in a way that made me notice how often that expression of emotion is so rarely brought up in detective novels of this era. When I came across this comment late in the novel I felt that my observation was even more justified: "What can we gain by learning anything more? [...] What good will it do to find out who killed Rosalind? It won't lessen our grief any." For her observations on the futility of crime solving in the face of inexplicable violence I give Nash several bonus points that more than make up for the shortcomings of her debut novel.
THE AUTHOR: Anne Nash wrote three books all of which feature Dodo and Nell and a couple which have Mark Tudor. Her fourth and last mystery novel is a stand alone with no series characters and is set in a California boarding house. The way Nash talks about Svea in Said with Flowers is indicative of a genuine love for dogs. She may have been involved in dog breeding or the care of dogs based on the descriptions of Svea and the dog's behavior in a way that only a true dog lover would write about the animals. In fact, her love of dogs plays a major role in her third novel, Cabbages and Crime, in which the two women travel to Death Valley to help run Dodo's cousin's dog boarding kennel and a murder once again involves them.
EASY TO FIND? Act now before midnight, as they say on TV infomercials. Said with Flowers was published in hardcover by the Crime Club in the US and Hammond in the UK. There is also a US paperback reprint by Bart House. All three editions pop up for sale every now and then with the paperback the easiest to find. Currently there are a handful of the Bart paperback copies being offered for sale online. As for the other mysteries by Nash your chances are much bleaker. I found very few copies of the third and fourth titles for sale and absolutely none of the second title Death by Design.
For years I kept coming across the Norman Conquest books being offered up for sale on various bookselling websites. "Hmm," I often mumbled to myself. "I wonder if those are any good." But I never gave in to temptation. Maybe in the back of my mind knowing that "Berkeley Gray" was one of the many pseudonyms of the prolific thriller and crime fiction writer Edwy Searles Brooks kept me away for decades. The bulk of Brooks' career was spent writing juvenile adventure stories for the British boys' magazines and then spending a lot of time writing for Amalgamated Press and helping to further the exploits of Sexton Blake. I've never been interested in that kind of thriller so I avoided all of his books under his various guises.
Then one day earlier this year I stumbled across a mini library of Norman Conquest books at a Half Price Books location near me. All of them were $8 or less and so I bought them all. When I learned that Norman Conquest is a sort of clone of Simon Templar and that one of the books I now owned was published in 1957 fitting into this month's Crime of the Century reading challenge, I decided to finally sample one of the adventures of the man known as the "Gay Desperado". My fears all proved well founded. Even though this book was written in the 1950s it was like travelling back to the early twentieth century and read very much like a boy's adventure story.
There is nothing remotely modern about Conquest after Midnight (1957) which is a very old-fashioned potboiler. There is a rich master criminal (a prominent member of Parliament who owns an independent political newspaper) who devises a preposterous plot in order to remove a former business partner he cheated and who is now planning to expose him. Does he threaten him with violence or shoot him dead? Does he hire a thug to beat the guy up or otherwise scare him into silence? No, the M.P. pretends to be interested in starting a private zoo, buys a lion, and hires a couple of men to let the lion loose on his enemy who he knows takes an evening stroll. Let the lion be blamed for having escaped and mauling the man in a surprise but bizarre encounter at night. And everyone chalks it up to an accident. You have to give Rupert Hargrove credit for over-the-top imagination. Other bad guys might just try to run down the guy with a car. I think Hargrove watched too many old movies.
Though filled with cinematic escapades and melodramatic incidents the story is very thin. It easily could be told in less than 100 pages but Brooks' long career in writing serials for magazines reveals the curse of this kind of penny-a-word writing: constant and needless reiteration. If the story was read from week to week the recounting of previous events would be somewhat necessary. To have Conquest tell characters things we've already been told three pages prior is more than annoying. A simple sentence like "He told Fiona what he told the police." would serve perfectly fine. Not for Brooks. He must tell us two, three, sometimes as many as four times things that need only be explained once.
I'll admit that it was fun to see how many quirks Norman Conquest has in common with Simon Templar and similar "gentleman adventurers" found in thriller fiction. He is independently wealthy having amassed a fortune from somewhat crooked dealings, helping himself to portions of the wealth of the rich villains he does battle with. Like Templar he leaves behind a calling card. Conquest's has the significant date 1066 printed in red. Cute.
A coil of rope Conquest "invariably" wore "as an additional article of attire." Added as an afterthought: "Easily carried between his undershirt and shirt and quite comfortable." Batman's utility belt would be a lot more comfortable.
Wry commentary meant to be witty but falling short of the mark: "This was no occasion for applying the Queensberry rules" when Conquest starts throwing punches in a fistfight.
An Italian villain actually exclaims "Maledizione!" when foiled as if he were Snidely Whiplash in a literally translated Dudley Do-Right cartoon.
Conquest boards his private airplane (a Mills Conister Fury) with his wife and pilots his way to Italy to rescue the requisite damsel in distress who of course is being used as a bargaining chip. Hand over the incriminating documents or the girl gets it--- all the way over in Italy, no less.
This is the type of book where the rich and powerful villain can't be bothered to save his own skin. He hides behind his façade of respectability and hires goons and lummoxes, and in one case a femme fatale who owes him a favor, to do all his ludicrous dirty work. There would be no story if these crooks behaved like real violent criminals who want to protect themselves and just shot everyone dead. Instead we get all this globetrotting silliness, murder by a "monstrous device" that resembles lion claws, kidnapping on board a cable car in the Italian mountains, and stowing the abducted damsel in a refugio hidden in the forest.
I expect more from a writer with a long career in concocting this kind of formulaic crime novel. Most crime writers who have successfully had long careers spanning multiple decades found it necessary to evolve and adapt to reflect how the plots, characters and formulae of crime fiction change with the times. Brooks seemed to find it very easy to cling to his origins and remain firmly rooted in the past. After reviewing the various bibliographies at the Edwy Searles Brooks tribute website I learned that Brooks recycled many of his stories. This tends to be the curse of the writer who feels compelled to produce numerous books at a logic defying rate. John Creasey did the same thing in order to deliver his hundreds of books in his various writing personas. Though many of the Norman Conquest books are noted as being rewrites of plots Brooks used in boys' papers or other pulp magazines Conquest after Midnight apparently was an original story for this series. Could have fooled me.
This is my second contribution for the Crime of the Century vintage mystery blog meme sponsored by Past Offences. During May we read books published in 1957. My other, much more enjoyable read, was Three for the Chair by Rex Stout.
One of the longest running mystery novel imprints was Red Badge Detective put out by Dodd Mead. The earliest date I can nail this down to is 1930. According to an advertisement included in the first few titles, this imprint was invented to distinguish the best of Dodd Mead's mystery novels. But as far as I can tell every single mystery novel published by Dodd Mead throughout the 1930s and 1940s carried this imprint info.
It was only towards the end of the imprint in the late 1960s and through the mid 1970s that only a few books carried the Red Badge logo. For instance, Agatha Christie's books were not Red Badge throughout the 60s or 70s while someone relatively new like Leonard Holton was given the Red Badge logo. I guess as Dodd Mead decided it was no longer necessary to brand a recognizable mystery writer like Christie and saved the Red Badge logo for less well known writers they were interested in highlighting.
The Red Badge imprint also sponsored a mystery novel writing contest that lasted only four or five years. The first winner in March 1937 was Clifford Knight for his detective novel The Affair of the Scarlet Crab which introduced his sleuth Huntoon Rogers. He won $2000 in addition to having his work published. Knight went on to write 23 more detective and suspense novels. Other winners such as Ruth Sawtell Wallis whose first novel Too Many Bones won the prize (only $1000 for her) in 1943 were not as prolific. And some wrote only one novel, collected the prize, saw the book published and were never heard from again. Check out the photo of the rear flap of Sailor, Take Warning! (shown below) for the lowdown on the contest.
Once again this post shows a mixture of DJs from my own collection and some that I managed to find from online booksellers' catalogs. The authors who were published by Dodd Mead during the heyday of the Red Badge imprint were among the elite of mystery and crime fiction. They included Agatha Christie, R. Austin Freeman, Freeman Wills Crofts, John Rhode, Kelley Roos, Michael Innes, Clifford Knight, Lee Thayer, Hugh Pentecost/Judson Phillips, Bart Spicer, William McGivern, Ursula Curtiss, Rae Foley, two books by Cornell Woolrich, and two books by Edmund Crispin after he was dropped by Lippincott.
Note that by 1974 while the Red Badge name was still being used, the logo with the detective had been abandoned on the spine of the DJ. The imprint, the brand name and the use of the logo would disappear from all mystery and suspense fiction by the end of the 1970s.
"All of us had a delightful time and hope that cleaning up the wreckage wasn't too much for you."
It's rare that I come across anything for this one time regular feature where I write about things I've found in books. But when I do I'm excited to share it with the world. This letter was discovered in the pages of a copy of Medusa's Head by Josephine Daskam Bacon. I'll be writing about Bacon's supernatural stories later this year, probably in the fall.
The letter was written by Arthur Bushing, a Midwestern American academic, to his parents who lived somewhere near Knoxville, Tennessee. It's an interesting slice of life from 1960 written by a seriously minded man who cares for his parents and family. His concern for a plumbing problem in their bathroom made me smile.
Click to enlarge in order to read the full letter. I just tested it and it enlarges to a huge, very legible photo.
I like that he signed the letter Son. So old fashioned. Reminds me of my mother and uncle who were never called by their real names in their home by their parents. My grandmother always called them Sis and Sonny. Odd, but folksy and revealing of their backgrounds.
I learned a lot about Bushing from his obituary published on the website for Maryville College. His father was also named Arthur S. Bushing and this book was owned by his father who stamped his name on the endpapers and wrote his name in pencil on the flyleaf. Both Bushing Senior and Bushing Junior were English professors. Bushing the son attended Maryville College, graduated in 1943, was hired as a physics instructor (his minor in his degree), then changed to teaching English which was his major field of study. He also served in World War 2 earning some military medals for his active duty in two European battles. He worked his way up the ivy-covered ladder from professor to department chair to Dean of Men and retired in 1996 after fifty-three years at the same institution. Remarkable. This kind of dedication in a career and loyalty to one employer is rare these days.


Ladies and gentlemen, we've been nominated for the Reader's Appreciation Award and even though we never heard of it before, we are thrilled!
When this blog started out, nobody expected to gain such a large readership and it's very nice to know that our work is appreciated! So our big thank you goes to Marlene Eilers Koenig, the writer of Royal Musings, who very kindly nominated us.
1. Identify their award and who gave it to them.
2. Post the logo on their blog.
3. Share 7 (?) items about themselves.
4. Nominate 5-10 other bloggers to receive this award, and notify them on their blog.
As you may know, there are a couple of different writers here on the blog; three of us have regularly contributed to this blog with many others chipping in with a few pieces. Thanks again to everyone!
Contrary to popular belief, none of the bloggers comes from the Grand Duchy but from different parts of the world. We are woefully aware that we will most probably never end up with a prince. Sniff… We know, reality can be really hard at times.
The stories in how we became interested in the Grand Ducal Family are quite diverging and probably too boring to tell. We are not only interested in the current events of the Grand Ducal Family but also the history of the House of Nassau-Weilburg, Luxembourg itself and of course other royal and noble families.
The Order of Sartorial Splendor: Is there a better way to catch up with what the royals have been up to than doing it while looking at their fashion? Well-researched posts about current and past events including witty comments by the blogger.
The Royal Correspondent: News from the European Royalty with just the right amount of snark so it never gets boring.
Royalement Blog: News and current events as well as historical pieces on the Belgian Royal Family and the Grand Ducal Family of Luxembourg. The blog is in French but even if you don't speak the language there are always beautiful pictures to look at.
The Cross of Laeken: Very knowledgeable historical pieces mainly about on the Belgian royals.
Dag Hoelseth: The insightful blog of royal historian Dag Hoelseth.
Tea at Trianon: The blog of author Elena Maria Vidal contains many wonderful royal related entries.
An Online Gotha by Paul Theroff: While this isn't a blog it is a fabulous resource that every royal watcher should know about.
Royal Magazin: An extremely informative page about royal jewels.
Fondation du Grand-Duc et de la Grande-Duchesse: We just have to mention the Foundation of the Grand Duke and the Grand Duchess. The foundation does wonderful work inside of Luxembourg as well as abroad. The foundation doesn't receive nearly enough recognition or support. The Hereditary Grand Duke and Countess Stephanie have established a special account under the foundation to fund social projects in Luxembourg in connection with their wedding (donations in lieu of gifts). Please visit the foundation's website and make yourself aware of their work! If you're feeling generous there is a simple function for online donations.

Apparel shoppers are provided with an unprecedented number of retail formats from which to choose. As a result, apparel retailers face intense competition from both intra-type and inter-type firms. The extant literature on cross-shopping is limited, and updated profiles of cross-shoppers versus single-format shoppers are needed to improve our understanding of retail format choice under current competitive conditions. This research considers variables including gender, age, income, education, race, marital status and household size for their effect on cross-shopping behavior among a sample of U.S. consumers. Additionally, the importance of retail attributes such as price competitiveness, product selection, and convenience is investigated. The results inform marketing strategy for apparel retailers.

Awards Season Forecast…
It's summer time! That means blockbusters, comic book movies! It's comic con time! That means more blockbuster and more comic book movie gossip! It seems that everything from the Tron viral campaign to the impending release of the Alice in Wonderland teaser is generating a lot of buzz. And quite right, too. We do live in the era of the geek. However, once we get into autumn proper, there are more prestigious films approaching. Looks like the studios are sticking to the tried-and-true "cram as many Oscar contenders as you can into the least amount of time" method, and there's a huge schlock of films coming out. Here are just some of the main ones I'm looking forward to during awards season.
Starring Morgan Freeman? Check. Directed by Clint Eastwood? Check. Story of an iconic figure? Check. Story of triumph over adversity/prejudice? Check. Set in the past? Check. Oscar Gold? Check.

It appears that Martin Scorsese's on-again, off-again, on-again, off-again, on-again biopic of Frank Sinatra is back on again. I've been following the project during it's languished history in, if not development hell, at least development limbo.
To be honest, I was most excited about the Robert deNiro iteration of the project. That supporting cast sounded fantastic. Now it's been confirmed, how do I feel? Well, good, to be honest.
It's odd that the end of a director's career would show more breadth than the early years, but the last decade has seen an astonishing broadening of Scrocese's pallete. We've had a Hollywood biopic (The Aviator), a historical epic (Gangs of New York), spiritual drama (Silence), a conventional thriller (Shutter Island) and even an old-style mob yarn (The Departed). Sure he's experimented before – the seemingly anomolous Age of Innocence now makes sense as a precursor to Gangs of New York, The Doors still stands out as an odd choice in his career – but that string of wildly-variable-in-genre films seems unprecedented. Even the most conventional choice in that lineup (The Departed) seems oddly out of sync with his early mob exploits (Goodfellas, Casino). So, why is this relevant?
After so much variety, I look forward to a bit of vintage Scorsese. A biography of a Los Vegas lounge singer with ties to the mob seems to be relatively familiar ground. This doesn't mean I'm writing off any of his impressive slate of Oscar-buzz-generating releases already on the horizon – the release of any Scorsese film is cause to celebrate – but this film has been discussed and talked about for so long that it's hard not to especially anticipate it. Sure, his last "dream project" was Gangs of New York that met with a somewhat muted critical reception, but I felt the director's love with the material in every frame.
The casting rumours have begun again with many media outlets suggesting Johnny Depp or Leonardo diCarpio. I'm happy with either – I trust Scorcese on this. Both are incredibly competent actors who would do the material proud. I think diCaprio has done his best work with Scorsese – though he did deserve an Oscar nod for Revolutionary Road – and I think that Depp and Scorsese would make a fantastic team. Hell, I'd even trust the director with John Travolta.
It is Scorsese's dream project after all. I'm just tagging along for the ride.

ADG- A Family-Owned Business that Designs/Builds Water Parks in Upstate New York By Aquatic Group | March 6, 2019
Aquatic Development Group in Cohoes plays with slides and chutes to construct destinations like Great Escape Lodge and the Kartrite Resort.
It takes a village to build a water park. Ok, so that may not be exactly how the saying goes, but it's not far off the mark for Aquatic Development Group. As the Cohoes-based company can readily attest, developing water parks that span acres and feature sky-high slides isn't exactly a one-person job. A team effort through and through, the construction process from start to finish often lasts months and requires dozens of skilled professionals to ensure everything is just right.
To learn how exactly one goes about creating a water park, we caught up with Aquatic Development Group (ADG), the development company behind some of the most iconic water parks in the world. Thanks to ADG, larger-than-life projects like the Great Escape Lodge and Great Escape's Splashwater Kingdom in Queensbury and Aqua Planet in the Philippines provide endless entertainment for families across the United States.
And it all begins in the Hudson Valley.
Since the 1970s, ADG has carved a covetable niche for itself within the world of amusement park development while maintaining a relatively low-key presence within the Hudson Valley at large. The roots for the business began back in the 1950s, when ADG founder and Capital Region native Herb Ellis took a part-time job as a salesman for Paddock Pools during one fateful summer. He didn't know it at the time, but his side project would eventually take him on a steady ascent up the pool industry career ladder.
Fast-forward to the 1960s when Ellis stepped into the role of CEO of Paddock Pools, bringing with him a drive to expand the brand's reputation to the national tier. He did just that, eventually pushing the Albany-based company to such a scale that it required a rebranding to what is now Aquatic Development Group in the 1970s. At that same time, Ellis also refocused company services from commercial pool building to water park design, development, and construction. Under his leadership, ADG pushed out innovative technologies like the Wavetek® wave generation, which, according to ADG, now powers over 90-percent of recreational wave systems (think: wave pools, lazy rivers, and water rides) in the United States. Not just limited to amusement destinations, the tech also drives aquarium and zoo exhibits and even moves the powerful scenes in flicks like Life of Pi and The Guardian.
"Many innovative ideas developed in the '80s through Herb's dedication to 'doing it right' are considered standards in today's water parks," observes Julie St. Louis, ADG's marketing and communications specialist. Indeed, Ellis's commitment to the industry was so impactful that he even became one of the original founding members and Hall of Fame inductees to the World Waterpark Association when it came to life in 1982.
As the water park industry began to hit its stride in the 1990s, Ellis handed over the reins to his son, Ken Ellis, who stepped into the role of president and CEO. Around this time, ADG slowly began to offer its InDepthTMApproach, which pairs product development and park design with business development. Thanks to this program, the water park industry flourished into the 21st century, when the new popularity of indoor water parks offered the potential for water-powered amusements all year long.
"Water parks give families a place to beat the heat while providing a wide assortment of attractions targeting guests of all ages," explains St. Louis. "The growth and popularity of water parks is due to increases in technology, new attractions, and innovative design features that engage parents in a more enjoyable stay as well."
In recent years, ADG has continued to lead the way with innovations like FlowRider®, a surf simulator, and a new series of water rides powered by its Wavetek® system. To date, the company has built eight of these new rides across the United States.
Next up, the Cohoes-based company (it relocated from Albany in the '90s) is hard at work to complete development on the much-anticipated Kartrite Resort and Indoor Waterpark in the Catskills. The amusement center, which will be part and parcel of the Resorts World Catskills casino and entertainment center in Monticello, has an estimated soft open date of March 28. Throughout development, ADG has taken a holistic approach to the project, considering the overall experience for visitors at the crux of its design.
"By taking this holistic design and build approach, ADG was able to bring the vision of an upscale, lush, tropical water park experience to life by incorporating copious amounts of vegetation, themed attractions, and a barrel-shaped Texlon® transparent roof," St. Louis reveals.
While the Kartrite is the timeliest project on the horizon for ADG, it is certainly not the only development on the company's plate. Across the country, the brand continues to chip away at Gaylord Opryland site in Nashville, TN (May 2019), the Island H2O Live! park at the Margaritaville Resort in Kissimmee, FL, and the H20BX Waterpark in Powell's Point, NC. Despite the varying scopes of the buildouts, St. Louis notes that, following the design, approval process, and ground-breaking stages, they generally take four to six months to complete, staffing and weather permitting.
Still intrigued about ADG's work in the Hudson Valley and beyond? Take a peek at its website for the full rundown of its past and current projects, then mark your calendar for early April, when the Kartrite is up in action in Monticello. See you on the slides!

        {
            // This is a sample worker implementation. Replace with your logic.
            Trace.WriteLine("Worker Role entry point called", "Information");

            base.Run();
        }

        public override bool OnStart()

    }

A: In a nutshell, it's no different then in any other console application.

Q: Django Custom 404 handler We've recently upgraded to Django 1.10 and we're getting this error on the live site:
builtins:TypeError custom_404() got an unexpected keyword argument 'exception'
The code is as follows:
urls.py
urlpatterns = [ ... ]
handler404 = global_views.custom_404
handler500 = global_views.custom_500

global_views.py
def custom_404(request, exception, template_name='404.html'):
    return page_not_found(request, exception, template_name=template_name)

def custom_500(request, template_name='500.html'):
    return server_error(request, template_name=template_name)

We've tried many variations of this view but all result in that error.
What's going wrong?

A: Your function should be defined as:
def custom_404(request, exception=None, template_name='404.html'):
Take me hours to figure this out.

A: The server_error view should not take exception as an argument. Its signature is
defaults.server_error(request, template_name='500.html')

It's not clear why you have defined a custom_404 view if all you do is call page_not_found. And calling page_not_found in you custom_500 view is very odd.

Silvio Berlusconi to conquer the Italian presidency, "a tragic joke"
Home » News » Silvio Berlusconi to conquer the Italian presidency, "a tragic joke"
Overwhelmed by court cases, fragile health and a sulphurous reputation, Silvio Berlusconi should, in theory, have difficulty climbing the Quirinal of Rome. But to draw a line on the "Cavaliere" remains nevertheless a risky bet whereas this one is seriously engaged to run for the Italian presidency at the end of the month.
He is the most criticized Italian politician since World War II. Silvio Berlusconi was once described by Indro Montanelli, Italy's best-known post-war journalist, as a "disease that can only be cured with vaccination". The vaccine, he said on the eve of the 2001 general elections, consisted of "a healthy injection of Berlusconi in the seat of the Prime Minister, of Berlusconi in the seat of the president, of Berlusconi in the seat of the Pope or wherever he is. wish. It is only after that that we will be immune. "
Regarding immunity, Indro Montanelli, like the many other experts who have repeatedly criticized the Cavaliere (the Knight), was wrong. Silvio Berlusconi's political career – and his popularity – has continued to climb.
After having served all or part of four separate terms at the head of government, longer than any other leader since Benito Mussolini, Silvio Berlusconi is now determined to climb the Quirinal, the highest hill in Rome and the seat of the Italian Presidency. Always as a storyteller, he presented his quest as the fulfillment of a childhood promise made to his mother.
This week, he is due to welcome other right-wing leaders to his Roman villa, in the hope of gaining the support of their lawmakers when Parliament begins the long process of electing Italy's next head of state, the January 24th. He also reached out to MPs from other political groups, including those deemed most hostile to his candidacy, knowing that if he wants to succeed outgoing president Sergio Mattarella, he will have to recover votes in the camps. rivals.
Political vacuum
Silvio Berlusconi's unlikely attempt at the presidency, at the age of 85, comes just over a year after he was gravely ill with Covid-19, five years after he suffered open heart surgery, and a decade after he was sentenced to prison for tax evasion and expelled from public service. Unsurprisingly, his presidential ambitions have aroused perplexity and amusement, not least because the former prime minister is still on trial for paying alleged bribes to witnesses in a case of underage prostitution linked to his famous "Bunga parties" Bunga ".
Giuseppe Provenzano, deputy leader of the center-left Democratic Party, called Cavaliere's candidacy a "tragic joke".
However, "Berlusconi himself is certainly very serious," said Maurizio Cotta, a professor of political science at the University of Siena. 'on leaving.
"There is currently no strong political majority in the country, and no political leader with a clear strategy," adds the academic. "Berlusconi is making the most of this vacuum, just as he did in 1994, after the collapse of the old post-war parties."
"To be elected would seal his revenge"
Two decades before Emmanuel Macron took a political party out of his hat and organized a victory at the Elysee Palace, Silvio Berlusconi, a media mogul without political references, performed the same sleight of hand in Italy in half the time of time.
Composed of marketing strategists in business suits, the Forza Italia (Go Italy) party was only five months old when its founder came to power in the spring of 1994. If its first administration, very inexperienced, was quickly collapsed, Silvio Berlusconi, turned political mogul, continued to dominate the chessboard for the next two decades, rebounding with further electoral triumphs in 2001 and 2008.
It took the eurozone debt crisis, a bitter party split and gruesome tales of orgies with dancers and prostitutes in his private residence for Silvio Berlusconi to be finally ousted from power for the last time in 2011. , under the boos of the demonstrators gathered in the center of Rome to celebrate his departure.
His legal troubles finally caught up with him the following year, when he was jailed for tax evasion and expelled from power, although his prison term was commuted due to his advanced age.
Since then, Silvio Berlusconi has continued to act in the shadows, assuming the role of kingmaker. But today, he wants to regain his place in the limelight.
"Being elected to the Quirinal would seal his revenge after being expelled from Parliament because of his legal problems," explains Maurizio Cotta. "This would prove Silvio Berlusconi's assertions about a conspiracy against him, and would mark the peak of his political career."
Playing on the fragile balance of power
The summit of the Italian political system, the Quirinal sits somewhere between the powerful French presidency and the essentially ceremonial role of the German head of state. Its important powers are manifested especially in times of political instability. Instability which Italy does not lack.
"When political parties can run the country on their own, the president tends to step aside," Maurizio Cotta analyzes. "However, it is increasingly common for parliament to be deadlocked, forcing the president to intervene. This pattern is expected to continue in the near future, with no immediate prospect of building a strong coalition. "
In recent years, Italian presidents have played a decisive role in forming coalitions, approving or vetoing ministerial appointments, and appointing technocratic cabinets and prime ministers – including current Prime Minister Mario Draghi.
The former head of the European Central Bank has been presented as the strongest potential candidate for the presidency. But analysts fear that an early departure of Mario Draghi could upset the delicate balance of power within his government, just as Italy emerges from the devastation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
This is a fear on which Silvio Berlusconi sought to play, warning of new elections and potential instability if Mario Draghi moved from the Prime Minister's office to the presidency.
Everything for the presidency
In an effort to improve his own credentials, the Cavaliere presented himself as an experienced statesman, able to place himself above the political fray.
Last November, he sent an anthology of his speeches to almost all of the roughly 1,000 members of parliament who will elect the next president. Recently, he praised a citizen income welfare system championed by the anti-system 5 Star Movement in an attempt to influence some of its members, who are usually among its worst enemies. .
The former real estate, advertising and media mogul, who earned his first salary going door to door selling vacuum cleaners, is doing everything to promote his candidacy. According to the Italian daily La Repubblica, he spent much of the holiday season distributing greetings and gifts and making in-person phone calls to lawmakers from the left, right and center.
"Berlusconi desperately wants this post. He is doing everything he can to get it, collecting the votes one by one," reports Maurizio Cotta. "He remains the great entanglement: an unrivaled seller and in this case, a seller of himself."
"Guarantor of corruption"
In the Italian political system, candidates for the Quirinal must win two-thirds of the votes to win the presidency. However, if no one achieves that goal in the first three rounds – and they usually do – the bar is lowered to 50% plus one.
To cross this threshold, Silvio Berlusconi then hopes to obtain about fifty votes out of a total of 113 "unaffiliated" legislators, counting on the secrecy of the vote. He must also secure the massive support of the center-right bloc, which will require the official support of the nationalist rights of Matteo Salvini and Giorgia Meloni.
"The center-right is united and convinced in its support for Berlusconi," Matteo Salvini, the leader of the Lega (hard right), said on Thursday, seeking to dispel rumors of divisions on the right. However, his party is already preparing a plan B in the event of the failure of the Cavaliere's candidacy for the presidency.
According to the political science professor interviewed by France 24, Matteo Salvini and Giorgia Meloni are torn between their desire to maintain the unity of the center-right and their reluctance to let Silvio Berlusconi restore his leadership on the bloc. "They know that Berlusconi would divert a large part of the spotlight from them," he explained. "My hunch is that they don't want him in the president's seat but don't know how to say it."
From a mathematical point of view, Silvio Berlusconi's chances of winning the presidency seem slim, says Maurizio Cotta, adding, however: "An accident is always possible – and that would send a very bad signal".
Last month, Fatto Quotidiano journalists launched a petition urging Italian lawmakers not to give their support to the quadruple former prime minister. "The President of the Republic must be the guarantor of the Constitution, [alors que] Silvio Berlusconi is the guarantor of corruption and prostitution ", they wrote in the petition, signed by more than 200,000 people.
In addition to his conviction for tax evasion, the litany of legal troubles of the billionaire "is not a minor problem," adds Maurizio Cotta. "Berlusconi is neither above the fray, nor legally 'clean'. Some cases have ended with his acquittal, others with the expiration of the limitation period. In any case, they draw an unfit profile. as president. "

Town: Giovannii Dainty, Josh Quaynor, Ricardo Reid, Mykel Beckley.
Swifts: Umit Eminoglu, James Hill.
Coleshill: Paul Hathaway, James Williams, Josh Quaynor, Rob Evans, Jesse Race, Craig Milligan (Reece Leek), Tom Weale, Giovanni Dainty, Ricardo Reid (Arron O'Neil), Mykel Beckley, Demitrius Smikle (Nathanial Lewars). Sub not used Luke Edwards.
Stourport: Dominic Richards, Jim Hanson, Reece Wager, Joe Robinson, Ryan Woolacott, Mathew Fulloway, James Hill, Reece Shilcock, Joe Phillips, Ben Maund, Umit Eminoglu. Subs Jack Rogers, Jack Bailey, Ashley Bunn, Jamie Hyde.
Coleshill Town were 4-2 winners at home to Stourport Swifts even though it was the visitors who opened the scoring through Umit Eminoglu on 15 minutes. Gio Dainty, Josh Quaynor and Ricardo Reid fired the home side into a 3-1 interval lead with Mykel Beckley adding a fourth soon after the restart with a deft lob over the Swifts keeper. James Hill struck a second for the visitors midway through the half but Stourport never looked like reeling in their hosts.
Coleshill got back to winning ways in the league by doing the double over Stourport Swifts on Boxing Day! Town normally don't do to well against Swifts, even in last season's record breaking runners up campaign, Coleshill lost both league games and this win was the first ever at Pack Meadow. There is definitely some entertaining football on show down Packington Lane these days with visiting teams loving the 3G surface, and there is usually plenty of goals to enjoy! Both sides had chances in an end to end start but it was the visitors that took the lead on 14 minutes when Eminoglu's off target shot was retrieved by Maund who set up Eminoglu for a tap in. Coleshill responded well and Ricardo Reid saw a shot blocked and the follow up go just wide but the visitors could have been two up but for the combination of a fine save by Paul Hathaway and the foot of the post prevented a Hill free kick from crossing the line. Coleshill levelled the scores on 31 minutes when a Tom Weale long throw found Giovanni Dainty in the box and his turn and shot found the corner of the net through a sea of legs. Eight minutes later and Town took the lead. Weale was needlessly pushed in the back when there appeared to be no danger. Josh Quaynor took the free kick from only a couple of yards outside the box and his excellent curving shot went in off the post. Coleshill were on top now and a third goal arrived just before the break. James Williams sent Mykel Beckley down the right flank and his cross was met at the far post by Reid who smashed the ball into the roof of the net.
Coleshill started the second half in the ascendancy and increased the lead on 51 minutes with a fine goal. Tom Weale casually lifted the ball over the Swifts defence for the on-running Mykel Beckley who just as casually lifted the ball over the advancing goalkeeper 4-1 game over! Stourport then had their best period of the game and deservedly scored a second goal on 69 minutes when a cross from the left was only partially cleared and fell nicely for Hill who picked his spot from the edge of the six yard box. Swifts pushed for a third which would have made the last 20 minutes interesting! Hathaway saved from Maund then Coleshill nearly killed the game but keeper Richards saved well from Nathaniel Lewars and the bar saved the day from Quaynor's wind assisted free-kick. In the dying seconds Maund got to the bye line and his cross found Hill whose goalbound shot was cleared off the line by Rob Evans.
Swifts looked at home on Coleshill's artificial pitch, and Ben Maund has a goal disallowed for offside after five minutes. Umit Eminoglu scored his first goal for Stourport when he bundled home at the far post after some good work from Joe Phillips.
Coleshill bounced back to take control with three goal in fifteen minutes before half time.
Giovanni Dainty levelled from 18 yards with a neat turn and shot, Full back Josh Quaynor fired in a free kick from the edge of the box off the post, and Ricardo Reid added a third on the stroke of half time.
Swifts again looked in control in the second half, but on 56 minutes Mykel Beckley scored an excellent fourth for his side with a clever lob over Richards from inside the box.
James Hill got one back for the Swifts with 20 minutes left, but could not force another to make the game interesting at the end.

Akash missile: DRDO's New-gen Akash missile shoots to success | India News – Times of India
NEW DELHI: The indigenous new-generation Akash surface-to-air missile, with an interception range of 25-30 km, and the man-portable antitank guided missile (MPATGM), with a 2.5-km strike range, were successfully tested by DRDO on Wednesday.
Both the missiles are still undergoing developmental trials but will boost the firepower of the armed forces once they are fully operational for induction. The earlier version of the Akash missiles, which can intercept hostile aircraft, helicopters, drones and subsonic cruise missiles at a range of 25 km, have already been inducted in large numbers, with orders worth around Rs 24,000 crore being placed.
"The new Akash-NG weapon system, once deployed, will prove to be a force multiplier for the air defence capability of IAF," said a DRDO scientist. The missile was tested from Integrated Test Range (ITR) off the Odisha coast at 12.45pm.
"The flawless performance of the entire weapon system was confirmed by the complete flight data captured by radars, electro-optical tracking and telemetry systems. During the test, the missile demonstrated high manoeuvrability required for neutralising fast and agile aerial threats," he added.
The low-weight, fire-andforget MP-ATGM was also successful in hitting the target, which was "mimicking a tank", in a direct-attack mode and destroying it with precision. The Army at present has a huge shortage of ATGMs.

The family of George Robinson seeks justice
By Othor Cain,
Contributing Writer,
The home of George Robinson PHOTO BY OTHOR CAIN
Thursday of last week, family members, friends and attorneys gathered in the front yard of 61 year old George Robinson and demanded justice.
Robinson, who was recently released from jail and recovering from a stroke, was allegedly beaten by Jackson police officers according to witness testimony. Witnesses said, "officers repeatedly struck Robinson with a flashlight and body slammed him to the ground." Robinson died at the hospital two days later.
Police officers were in the West Jackson neighborhood known as Washington Addition, investigating the recent shooting death of 62 year old pastor Anthony Longino, when the alleged incident took place.
Robinson's family retained the legal services of Sweet and Associates. "Based on our investigation, we believe this is a case of police misconduct and excessive use of force," said Dennis Sweet IV, lead attorney on this case. "The Jackson police officers had a duty to protect and serve the citizens of Jackson, not to victimize them…however, this has been a common pattern in Jackson."
Sweet said his firm hired an independent investigator to gather the facts and based on preliminary findings, believes Robinson died at the hands of JPD officers.
Robinson's sister Bettersten Wade also spoke during the media briefing and shared that the family had just buried another brother on Saturday and then Sunday was dealt another blow when police terrorized their neighborhood.
"On Sunday, police came here and brutalized him…they were suppose to protect and serve; we didn't get that," Wade said. "We didn't get justice…not yet."
Sources in the neighborhood spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation by police.
"You have to ask yourself why" one witnesses said. "Why did this happen to this preacher in this neighborhood at that time of day?"
Another person in the neighborhood said, "the shooting of Pastor Longino wasn't random and because police were hell bent on finding and arresting someone, George got caught in the crossfire."
Speculation has largely focused on why Robinson was field released by officers. Field release by definition is when a person accused of something or cited for something is released in the field and never transported to a jail or holding facility. "To add insult to injury in this case, after they (JPD officers) beat Mr. Robinson, they gave him a citation for disobeying a police officer, Sweet said. "This is unacceptable.
This investigation is ongoing.

SARFAESI Act, 2002 (In a nutshell)
HOW SARFAESI ACT 2002 OPERATES IN THE BANKING SECTOR?
Banks & Financial Institutions before the enactment of SARFAESI ACT, 2002 faced significant losses due to the problem of rising NPA's . Banks could not sell off the security interest without the intervention of courts/ tribunals to recover the defaulting loan. The sluggish nature of the court proceedings and lack of direct laws in place for regularization of financial assets gave rise to SARFAESI ACT, 2002 wherein the Banks & Financial Institutions could now recover their NPA's by selling off the properties mortgaged with them without the intervention of court of laws.
Securitization And Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of the Security Interest act of 2002 abbreviated as SARFAESI ACT, 2002 came into force on 21st June 2002. The name says it all, "an act to regulate securitization & reconstruction of financial asset & enforcement of security interest and to provide for a Central database of security interests created on property rights, and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto".
In this article, we will see how SARFAESI Act has been helping banks & financial Institutions in recovering loans and protecting themselves from significant losses.
It all starts with the need for financial assistance. The borrower goes to a bank/ FI seeking a loan. The bank requires the borrower to fulfill certain requisites for a loan which may require the borrower to mortgage/ pledge/ guarantee his one or more immovable/moveable assets depending on the amount of loan required. Further, when all the formalities are done correctly the bank sanctions the loan to the borrower. The bank decides on EMI to be paid by the borrower. The borrower must repay the loan by paying EMI's regularly. If the borrower defaults on one of the EMI's the bank might send you the notice to repay the same. However, if the borrower fails to pay the EMI's consecutively for three months, the banks are required to classify such accounts NPA's, and banks can now initiate further action to recover the loan.
PROCEDURE UNDER SARFAESI, 2002.
Section 13 of the SARFAESI Act, 2002 contains the provisions for discharging mortgaged property without court intervention. In order, to do so the banks have to follow certain procedures:
Declaration of the Loan account as NPA.
Section 13(2) of the act says that if the borrower who is liable to repay, defaults on such a payment, then the bank/FI has to first classify such an account as NPA and then issue notice to the borrower to discharge in full all his liabilities towards bank within 60 days from the date of notice failing which bank shall exercise rights under Sec 13 (4).
Representations under section 13 (3A).
Upon reception of the notice u/s 13(2), the borrower can raise objections and make representations. If the bank/FI is of the view that the representations made by the borrower are not tenable then it shall issue its non-acceptance within a week from the receipt of such representations from the borrower.
Right to bank/ FI under section 13 (4).
If the borrower fails to make payment within the stipulated period of 60 days u/s 13(2), then the bank/ FI can exercise one or all of the following rights:
Take the possession of the mortgaged property of the borrower.
Take over the management if the substantial part of the borrower's business is held as security.
Appoint the manager to manage the secured asset, the possession of which is taken by the bank/FI.
Demand money from the person who has acquired any of the secured assets from the borrower by giving notice in writing to pay sufficient money as is required to clear the debt.
The general practice is that the bank takes symbolic possession of the property first by pasting a copy of the possession notice outside the premises of the secured asset & cautioning the borrower & public in general to not deal in a secured asset which means the borrower cannot sell, lease, or assign the secured asset.
Physical Possession of the Property.
To take physical possession of the Secured Asset or to sell off the secured asset, an authorized officer is appointed on behalf of the bank/FI to carry out further procedures. An application is required to make requesting the control over the asset to CMM or DM within whose jurisdiction the secured asset or other related documents are situated. On such a request being made, peruse all the documents, and pass such orders for taking possession of the secured asset within 30 days.
Note- Banks/ FI's on a timely basis have to keep the borrower informed about the upcoming legal action to be taken up them towards acquiring the possession and sale of the secured asset.
Pre-sale Notice to the borrower.
Once the Bank/FI receives an order from the CMM/DM, the date of physical possession is intimated to the borrower upon which the bank officials in the presence of two witnesses take possession of the Secured Asset, and the Panchama is drawn & signed by the witness. The local Police and Talathi of the jurisdiction in which the Secured Asset is situated are present while taking possession. Thereafter, a pre-sale notice is issued to the borrower giving 30 days to pay the outstanding dues.
Sale of Secured Asset
On the expiry of 30 days, bank/FI can sell whole or any part of such Secured Asset by one of the following methods-
Obtain quotations from persons dealing in Secured Assets; or
By inviting tenders from the public; or
By holding a public auction; or
By private treaty.
Before effecting such a sale, a proper valuation of the Secured Asset is required to be obtained from the approved valuer and the reserve price is fixed for the Secured Asset.
If at the time of physical possession, any movable articles are lying on the premises & not mortgaged with the bank. The borrower has the right to claim such movable articles & the bank cannot sell such items without giving an opportunity to the borrower to vacate the premises.
While the property is in possession of an authorized officer, he/she has to ensure the safety of the premises and take necessary steps for preservation and protection so that no damage is caused to the property that will result in its devaluation.
The Secured Asset is sold to the highest bidder or one with the highest tender quotation or one with the highest offer. If the value of the property is more than the outstanding debt with Bank/FI the remaining sale proceeds are returned to the borrower. No sale shall be confirmed at price lesser than the reserve price without the permission of the borrower.
A certificate of sale is issued to the purchaser, stating whether the secured asset is delivered free from any encumbrances known to the Bank/FI or not.
Important points to note:
The provisions of the Sarfaesi Act, 2002 are not applicable in the following cases:
A security interest in agricultural land.
The outstanding amount is less than 20% of the Principal Amount & Interest thereon.
Security in aircraft.
Any rights of unpaid seller.
any security interest in a financial asset not exceeding one lakh rupees;
The borrower has the right to appeal under section 17 of the act wherein if the borrower is aggrieved by any of the acts of the bank/FI u/s 13(4) in DRT within 45 days.
The borrower is entitled to compensation in case of an illegal act done by an authorized officer.
CERSAI is set up under Section 20 of SARFAESI, 2002 which keeps the record of collaterals with various banks/FI which enables them to keep a check on borrowers taking loans from multiple sources with the same collateral.
No two legal actions can be initiated by banks/FI's simultaneously to recover the loan such as Arbitration & SARFAESI Procedures together.
The act does not apply to Unsecured Loans.
The SARFAESI Act, 2002 has acted as a boon to the financial sector. With the power to enforce the secured asset by selling them off with less hassle, banks have been able to recover NPA's. The Co-operative Banks can also issue a notice under this act and initiate the recovery proceedings. All kinds of movable or immovable asset that has been provided as security are covered by the act. The SARFAESI Act, 2002 has become a protective shield for banks against loan defaulters.

Rule of regulation
Comparative Law and Economics. University of Michigan Press. Around 1900 Max Weber outlined his "scientific" approach to law, identifying the "authorized rational kind" as a sort of domination, not attributable to personal authority however to the authority of abstract norms. Formal authorized rationality was his term for the key characteristic of the sort of coherent and calculable regulation that was a precondition for contemporary political developments and the fashionable bureaucratic state. Weber noticed this regulation as having developed in parallel with the growth of capitalism.
In China and different creating nations there aren't adequate professionally educated people to staff the present judicial techniques, and, accordingly, formal standards are extra relaxed. In common regulation legal systems, decisions by courts are explicitly acknowledged as "legislation" on equal footing with statutes adopted via the legislative process and with rules issued by the chief branch. The "doctrine of precedent", or stare decisis (Latin for "to stand by choices") means that choices by higher courts bind lower courts, and future choices of the identical court, to guarantee that related circumstances attain related outcomes. Legal techniques differ between nations, with their variations analysed in comparative regulation. In civil legislation jurisdictions, a legislature or different central body codifies and consolidates the regulation.
In 1481, in the course of the reign of Ferdinand II of Aragon, the Constitució de l'Observança was accredited by the General Court of Catalonia, establishing the submission of royal energy (included its officers) to the laws of the Principality of Catalonia. In China, members of the college of legalism through the 3rd century BC argued for using legislation as a software of governance, however they promoted "rule by law" versus "rule of regulation", which means that they placed the aristocrats and emperor above the regulation. In distinction, the Huang–Lao faculty of Daoism rejected authorized positivism in favor of a natural law that even the ruler could be topic to. The executive suggests new laws and deals with other international locations.
Young folks can be important contributors to a culture of lawfulness, and governments can provide instructional support that nurtures constructive values and attitudes in future generations. Scholars continue to debate whether or not the U.S. Constitution adopted a particular interpretation of the "rule of legislation", and if so, which one.
The information of the case are analyzed against the rule of law to achieve a supportable conclusion. This methodology of authorized reasoning is known as the IRAC methodology, which is an acronym for concern, rule, analysis, and conclusion. Need legal advice concerning widespread legislation marriage?
While army organisations have existed as long as authorities itself, the idea of a standing police drive is a relatively trendy idea. For instance, Medieval England's system of touring legal courts, or assizes, used present trials and public executions to instill communities with concern to take care of management. The first fashionable police have been most likely these in 17th-century Paris, in the court of Louis XIV, although the Paris Prefecture of Police claim they have been the world's first uniformed policemen.
The 'higher house' is often elected to characterize states in a federal system (as in Australia, Germany or the United States) or totally different voting configuration in a unitary system (as in France). In the UK the upper home is appointed by the government as a house of evaluate. One criticism of bicameral methods with two elected chambers is that the higher and decrease homes could merely mirror each other. The traditional justification of bicameralism is that an higher chamber acts as a house of evaluate.
This case is used to support the view of property in common regulation jurisdictions, that the person who can show the best declare to a piece of property, towards any contesting celebration, is the proprietor. By distinction, the basic civil law approach to property, propounded by Friedrich Carl von Savigny, is that it's a right good in opposition to the world.

In a reversal from last year, the U.S. dollar has strengthened against other major currencies in 2018, reflecting rising U.S. rates, expectations of more Federal Reserve rate hikes and recent sluggish economic data outside the U.S. While U.S. dollar strength has broad implications for earnings and markets, it also has a direct impact on the performance of international equity allocations for U.S. investors. Most international equity strategies are un-hedged, which generally benefits U.S. investors in periods of dollar weakness but creates a headwind for returns when the dollar is strengthening.
After a very strong run in U.S. equity markets since the financial crisis, many investors are re-balancing into more attractively valued equities outside the U.S. We think the recent rally in the U.S. dollar serves as a useful reminder that currency movements affect the performance of international equity strategies. Allocating a portion of international equity investments to dollar-hedged strategies could provide both valuable diversification and the potential for downside protection.
