text: Sao Paulo, Brazil - Far-right candidate Jair Bolsonaro won Brazil's presidential elections, signalling a political shift for South America's most populous nation and largest economy. Official results gave Bolsonaro a 55.2 percent share of the vote in Sunday's runoff, comfortably ahead of Fernando Haddad, the candidate of the centre-left Workers' Party (PT), who had 44.8 percent. Bolsonaro gave an internet address via Facebook Live, shunning a traditional press conference because of security concerns. In September, he suffered a near-fatal stabbing at a campaign rally. "We could no longer be flirting with socialism, communism, populism and extremism on the left," he said. Bolsonaro said US President Donald Trump - whom he has expressed admiration for - called to wish him good luck after his victory in what he called "obviously a very friendly contact". Supporters wearing T-shirts emblazoned with Bolsonaro's face and Brazil's yellow and green national colours assembled outside his house in the Barra da Tijuca neighbourhood of Rio de Janeiro. In Sao Paulo, supporters gathered on Avenida Paulista, the city's main thoroughfare, with flags and banners that read Bolsonaro's "Brazil above everything, God above everyone" slogan. Bolsonaro supporters celebrate in Sao Paulo [Nacho Doce/Reuters] 'He'll give us security' Bolsonaro pledged to defend "the Constitution, democracy and freedom" after winning the polarising election, denying accusations he will turn Brazil towards authoritarianism. "This is not the promise of a party, nor the word of a man. It is an oath before God," he said in his victory speech. PT had won the last four elections in Brazil, while its popular founder Luiz Inacio "Lula" da Silva was the frontrunner this year until being barred from running in September because of a corruption conviction. Throughout the campaign, Bolsonaro promised to crack down on Brazil's violent crime that saw nearly 64,000 homicides last year. He wants to increase gun ownership and has pledged to give police "carte blanche" to kill. {articleGUID} "He'll give us the security that the country needs, behind this education and healthcare will follow," said Maria Lucia de Almeida, 84, a retired Sao Paulo teacher. "He's honest." But to other voters, Bolsonaro is considered an authoritarian and a threat to democracy. He has a history of disparaging remarks against LGBT people, women, and minorities and has spoken of his support for torture and extrajudicial police killings. "He's made it clear that he doesn't want to sit and have a dialogue with those that think different from him," said Pedro Igor Mantoun, 29, a corporate lawyer from Sao Paulo, who voted for Haddad. "For any country, this is a bad thing but especially for one with such a young democracy as ours." Controversial past Bolsonaro's rise from a fringe congressman to the presidency has come against a backdrop of economic downturn, political turmoil, mammoth corruption scandals and rising violence. Bolsonaro - a former army captain - is an outspoken supporter of Brazil's brutal and repressive 1964-1985 military dictatorship, a period when hundreds of political opponents were murdered by the state and thousands more tortured. {articleGUID} He is expected to stuff his cabinet with generals and former military men. Last Sunday, during a confrontational speech transmitted to thousands of supporters, Bolsonaro said "red (leftist) criminals" would be "banished from our homeland" and pledged a "cleansing never seen before". After suffering defeat, Haddad said on Sunday he would work to "defend the freedoms of these 45 million" people who voted for him. 'Extreme president' Analysts suggest change is inevitable with Bolsonaro now in power. "Brazil will not become a dictatorship, we won't see Congress closed," said Mauricio Santoro, a political scientist and professor of international relations at Rio de Janeiro State University. "But we know from experience in other countries that electing an extreme president brings bad consequences for democracy." Elsewhere, in the gubernatorial elections, in Sao Paulo, former mayor, media tycoon and once-host of Brazil's version of The Apprentice TV programme Joao Doria won the race against incumbent Marcio Franca. In Rio de Janeiro, Bolsonaro ally and former judge Wilson Witzel beat Eduardo Paes who presided as mayor for two terms, included when the city hosted the 2016 Olympics.

Stay up to watch the election results. Lib Dems start brilliantly by gaining Hull – stealing a Labour heartland first thing bode well. But as the evening or should I say morning rolled on – the results were clearly more mixed.
The good news for us was in many of the seats that we'd be hoping to gain or hold at the next general election – with good results in many of them, raising hopes for more MPs next time round.
Also – that we have managed to score successes across the country and against both Labour and the Tories – including taking control of key Labour Councils like Hull and Rochdale in the North whilst winning Eastbourne direct from the Tories in the South. Ditto in Eastleigh – where although we hold – we improved our position again by taking two Tory seats, though this is a seat the Conservatives were trying very hard to win at the last general election.
Labour had a bad night – and I think it may yet get worse and the Tories did reasonably – but nowhere near what they had hoped. So we can all point at good bits and try and ignore the bad bits. We will see when all the counts are done if we can make any real sense of it.

Jeddah/Washington: US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman met here to coordinate a response to the "unprecedented" attack on the Kingdoms oil refineries for which they blame Iran.
Pompeo and bin Salman "agreed that this was an unacceptable and unprecedented attack that not only threatened Saudi Arabian national security, but... the world's energy supply in general", Efe news quoted State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus as saying in a statement on Wednesday.
They also agreed on "the need for the international community to come together to counter the continued threat of the Iranian regime and agreed that the Iranian regime must be held accountable for its continued aggressive, reckless, and threatening behaviour", the statement said.
The attacks on September 14 was carried out by 10 unmanned aircraft. It hit the Hijra Khurais - one of Saudi Arabia's largest oil fields, producing about 1.5 million barrels a day - and Abqaiq, the world's biggest crude stabilization facility, which processes seven million barrels of Saudi oil a day, or about 8 per cent of the world's total output.
Although the Yemeni Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for the attack, Pompeo hortly after the attacks had denied it, saying: "There is no evidence the attacks came from Yemen", while blaming Iran instead.Tehran has denied responsibility.Parallel to Pompeo's visit, Middle East Strategic Alliance (MESA) partners Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and the US held meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday in Washington.
In a joint statement, MESA partners reported that during the meetings they addressed the attack against Saudi refineries "sought to disrupt oil markets and regional stability"."The attack underscores the continuing importance of cooperation between the MESA partners to strengthen regional security, peace, and stability, promote and expand economic opportunities, and strengthen and secure critical energy sectors," they added.

Way back last December (I know I'm so behind updating) I shot for the Designer OneofOne. I absolutely fell in love with her work and so rather shyly asked if I could borrow some pieces. Several weeks later I got a very exciting parcel. Unfortunately December is pretty awful to shoot in. I had hoped for snow so we could make it an alternative Bridal type shoot. As luck wouldn't have it it didn't snow but it was rather sunny for the 5 hours of daylight we got to shoot in. The poor model was very brave and resilient considering the bitter cold- my fingers were pretty numb trying to change settings on the camera. At the time we didn't have transport and we'd all got the bus up to Consett to the Make Up Artist's house to shoot around there. So we pretty much just shot in a clump of trees and buses off a road. Alas when you're you're poor and can't drive you don't get many choices in the matter, however it's a true measure of gumption if you can make pretty pictures in the most barren of places.

The next time you find yourself facing the task of painting a ceiling or up under an overhang, cut a hollow rubber ball in two and slip on half open side up over the handle of your brush. The cup will catch the drippings and prevent them from running up your arm.
By Ron from Cortez, CO
When you need to paint above your head and don't want paint drips falling on the floor or on your face, cut a slit in a paper plate and put your paint brush handle through it. The plate will catch the drips.
Ask a QuestionHere are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community or ask a new question.
I have been reading a post about painting a ceiling red . . . I am toying with dark plum for my kitchen - any thoughts? I really think that it will be great (plus my husband "forbid" me to do it - which of course means - it HAS to be done!) - but anyone tried this one before?
If I were in your same situation, I'd leave the ceiling white and not paint it red or dark plum. Once it is painted and you don't like it, it will take numerous coats of white paint to change the color back to white. It's a lot easier to darker a color than to lighten it.
Marge from NY
Solid dark plum is a beautiful color but it will make your kitchen awfully dark. Laura Ashley makes wallpaper and accessories in beige with a dark plum design(if your husband "forbids" you to do it you might as well make it expensive too). This would give you the dark plum but keep the room bright. Use solid dark plum for the dining room/area. Or use it in the bedroom. Very sensual -- your husband might love that!
If you've ever painted with red, you'd reconsider. Red is THE most difficult colour to apply. It will take a minimum of 3 coats to cover.
My daughter painted her bedroom red, and we think it's beautiful, but, Wow! -- what a job.
If you're prepared to paint above your head for 3 (or more) coats, go for it, but be prepared for a lot of work!!
Use the dark plum for the crown moldings at the top of the walls, but leave the main ceiling lighter. Otherwise, you'll be saying to yourself "I'm too proud to say my husband was right but dayum it's dark in here..."
Does your kitchen have high ceilings? The only reason I could think of that I would consider a dark color on my ceiling is if I wanted to bring the ceiling down and make the room seem larger and as others have said it will darken the room.
I think you should listen to your husband, he might have the right ideal.
I agree with the folks who recommend you reconsider. Dark plum will really make the kitchen dark & gloomy.
Seems like it would be living in a cave.
We did it. You'll HATE it! It closes up the room so you feel like a troll under the bridge. Also, while it seems cool at first, it grows old REAL fast.
Don't do it.
I think you'll feel like you have a dark cloud over your head. Your ceiling will look closer to you. WE all want our ceilings to look high and expensive rather than short and squat.
I have 8 foot ceilings in my house. Regular ceiling paint has a grayish tint to it. I feel like there is a dismal cloud over my head. I'm painting my ceilings a clear white. dont forget that ceilings have a certain amount of shadow on them as light from windows rarely shines directly on the ceiling.
I have heard a lot about painting a ceiling something other than white. Do you go one shade lighter than the walls? What is your ideas on this? Also, about ceiling tiles, can you paint them? What have any of you done with a ceiling with tiles? I can't afford to remove them.
Hi Annie,
I'd recommend one shade lighter or more shades lighter. It makes the room seem larger and the light reflects off the lighter color. It really depends on on how light your rooms are.
You can paint ceiling tiles, it works very well.
- Susan
I do not have ceiling tiles but I do have the popcorn ceiling that is ugly to me. In my laundry room, which I painted a pale watercolor shade of blue, I used a large round sponge and did a random pattern of spots. The effect turned out very nicely.The white ceiling with blue spots reminds you of the sky on a clear pretty day.
Personally I believe a painted ceiling makes a room look smaller but people should do what they want to in their own homes.
How is the best way to paint hard textured ceilings?
By Vincent H from Southampton, UK
Use the thickest, most fluffy paint roller you can find. I have one that is seven inches in diamiter made of lambs wool but I doubt if you will find one that thick. It's over one hundred years old and was my Great Grandfathers. Do however get the thickest one made. You will also need to cover with lots of plastic and use eye goggles. You will have paint over spray falling into your eyes.
Is there a easy way of painting a kitchen ceiling that has downlights fitted into it? Do I have to try and pop them out or must I navigate around them? Any advice would be appreciated.
By Tony
If you mean the lights that are recessed into the ceiling you should be able to gently pop off the outer cover that lays flush with the ceiling around the light with a flat head screwdriver. If not, it's freehand style painting ;-)
I have paint peeling on my bathroom ceiling next to the ceiling fan (no window). What do I use to seal the ceiling before repainting?
By Annie from Shepherds Bush London
It is best to use an oil base sealer if none are available use Kilz, available at Home Depot. Happy painting.

AGORA stems from a desire to understand the invisible structures and bureaucratic control of public space and how these have generated new forms of meeting and exchange. Ormston House is proud to present AGORA an exhibition of new works by Jens Ardal and Morten Kromann supported by the Danish Arts Foundation and Creative Ireland. The artists have worked collaboratively since 2012 and founded their studio complex Kulturdivisionen at a former slaughterhouse in Holstebro in 2016. This will be their first exhibition in Ireland and the second drawing on the concept of the agora following the Extract Solo Art Prize in Copenhagen last year.
Jens and Morten have retrieved the exhibition title from the gathering places at the heart of ancient Greek cities, designed for public life and democratic assembly. Like the yield from an archaeological dig, a collection of sculptural fragments is presented at Ormston House to provide a discussion framework for commercial, cultural and political activity today. Where and how do we meet in both the physical and virtual worlds to discuss the issues that concern us? Whether these be ownership of public space, post-industrial city-planning, citizens' influence on urban regeneration, the importance of imagination, the capacity to self-organise, or something else entirely.
Steel grids from industrial storage tanks provide the outline of the installation. Each has been flocked, sprayed with chameleon paint, or coated with a humus combining indigenous and invasive species. The horizontal and vertical lines suggest a system based on order. Irregular cuts and embedded objects disturb that sense of visual order: a falling chair, hand-carved molluscs, and mechanical insects inhabit the scenography of past and future excavations of our AGORA. A rotating conveyor belt awaits a new production line, while visitors inside and outside the space will trip sensors activating movement and sound throughout.
Following the opening party, Ormston House and AGORA will host the festival hub for Open House Limerick on the theme Architecture is Community (19-21 October).
The artists would like to thank Aleksandr Sandovicz for his technical support.
InformationOpening party: Thursday 18 October, 7-9pm
Exhibition dates: 19 October - 8 December 2018

As most of us discovered in South Carolina's historic flood a year ago, it is best to prepare for extreme conditions when everything is calm. The same principle applies to how we think about our investments. It is good to become emotionally prepared for market price variability when all is well.
The S&P 500 Index has declined 10% or more 28 times since 1950; 20% or more nine times; and 30% or more five times during this period. The flip-side is that the S&P 500 was valued at about 17 on January 1, 1950 and is at about 2100 now. The intervening years have brought about all types of scares and random events but the upward trend has continued despite all of those headwinds. There are three keys to keeping your cool when markets turn south:
1. First, consider your entire adult life as your investing time horizon. That is, if you are age 55 for example, your investment life might be another 40 years. Not everyone will live until age 95 or later, but a good percentage will. If you have a 40-year time horizon, you will likely live through many market pullbacks (see above). Nothing to see here.
2. Next, beware of your behavioral blind spots. We all have them, even if we think we don't. We sometimes refer to "the three B's"—blind spots, biases and behavior. Emotions play a major role in all of our financial choices. In times of stress, herding, or following the crowd can be a costly bias. Feelings of fear, panic and remorse can lead you to make poor choices. Relax and remember you are running a marathon, not a sprint. The long- term trends work in your favor…if you don't get in their way. With a hat-tip to football season, remember that you don't have to react to the play-by-play commentary. In fact, you don't even have to listen.
3. Finally, focus on your "why, that is, your reason for investing. Money means different things to everyone. Remember what you are trying to accomplish financially and why you have accepted the inevitable, if unpredictable, risk associated with investing.
Your financial life is not separate from other aspects of your life. Money plays a role in almost everything you do. Even small financial choices are real…treat them that way.
You stand a much better chance of surviving the next correction if your investments reflect your goals…your values. Is your strategy all set? Does it need some work? Ready for a real conversation?

Ambitious Chinese upstart Luckin Coffee completed a new round of Series B+ funding, bringing in $150 million to boost its total valuation to $2.9 billion, the company said Thursday.
A private equity fund managed by BlackRock led the funding with $125 million, Luckin said.
To expand its market share, the coffee chain prioritizes delivery and offers steep discounts and easy-to-use mobile-app ordering.
The new capital comes at a much-needed point in Luckin's rapid early growth: The firm has an ambitious plan to set up more than 2,000 new stores in China this year.
In 2018, Luckin completed two rounds of fundraising, raising $200 million each round. Earlier this year, sources said it was preparing for an IPO in the U.S., in an attempt to raise around $300 million. Luckin declined to comment on the potential listing.

Another Planet Entertainment, a company I have a special nostalgic affinity to is promoting a great new concert.
From their Facebook Fan page:
Come join us for Maroon 5 with guests OneRepublic and Bruno Mars at The Greek Theatre at UC-Berkeley on Sunday, October 10th!
Tickets: $59.50 | $39.50 Purchase tickets: http://www.apeconcerts.com.
About: The band's third studio album, Hands All Over (A&M/Octone), is due out September 21st. Produced by rock studio legend Robert John "Mutt" Lange (AC/DC, Def Leppard, The Cars), Hands All Over is a killer hybrid of rock, pop, funk and R&B.
Recorded at Lange's Switzerland studio, the members of Maroon 5 locked themselves in the mountains to patiently craft their latest effort. Starting with the hard-rocking title track, the album's 15 tracks take several intoxicating twists and turns including such compositions as "Out of Goodbyes," a stunning country ballad infused with musical and vocal contributions from Nashville chart-toppers Lady Antebellum.
Long-time fans will get a thrill out of the single "Misery," with its funky guitars and high-stepping melody, as well as the propulsive "Stutter," melody rich "Give A Little More" and "Don't Know Much About That," which professes a classic soulful vibe.
Here's the video for Misery

#29: Battle Line/Schotten Totten
Brian Leet: "My favorite essentially abstract game. Pure simplicity with tons of fun."
Pat Korner: "My favourite 2-player game. The variant that lets you only claim markers at the start of your turn takes a moderately fun and very luck-based game (Schotten Totten) and turns it into a gem. Tense and highly enjoyable but still playable in a half hour."
Aaron Fuegi: "Quick two player with lots of strategy. The Tactics cards area great improvement on the already good Schotten-Totten, unlike the changes GMT made to their other Knizia games."
Dave Arnott: "Two-player game of choice. Tension, skill, some bluff, just enough luck to make it interesting, but not so much that you have to play multiple games to even things out. Vastly superior to the unnecessary-chrome-filled Battle Line."

Somerset West - He played his first major championship in 1989, when he missed the cut in The Open Championship at the age of 19.
This week, South Africa's Hall of Famer Ernie Els tees it up in his 100th major when the PGA Championship gets underway at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, North Carolina.
During that 28-year journey, Els has become one of the game's greats, and perhaps the very epitome of South African golf in the modern era - big and strong with a free-flowing swing, but, perhaps more importantly, caring, convivial and generous with his time and his resources.
Of course everyone calls him the 'Big Easy'.
That he went on to win his first major championship when he took the US Open in 1994 as a 24-year-old was no surprise to anyone.
That he took two more majors - one more US Open in 1997 and The Open in 2002 - was impressive in the era of the rise and then dominance of Tiger Woods, the man who irretrievably changed golf.
And then, 10 years after he won The Open, he improbably got his hands on the Claret Jug for a second time, his 2012 victory sealing his place in the lore of golf whether he wins another major championship or not.
He was denied a career grand slam by the slimmest of margins: A pair of second-place finishes in the Masters was a source of frustration for him, and he has twice come third in the PGA Championship.
Of course, golf is a game of infinite possibilities, as Tom Watson showed when he so nearly won The Open in 2009 at the age of 59. But the reality is Els will find it increasingly difficult to get into the Masters.
He will play longer in the PGA Championship, but who knows how long.
No matter. The outpouring of praise for Els this week at Quail Hollow will use words like 'ambassador', 'loyal', 'genial', 'role-model' and 'hero'.
Ask any young Sunshine Tour professional - or older one, for that matter - who he admires most, and there will be an overwhelming majority of them who will name Els.
In his latter competitive years, his struggles with putting humanised him to an even greater extent. Through those struggles, as well as his triumphs, he became perhaps the most beloved South African sportsman of his era.
But it was the work he has done in raising awareness about autism internationally which has sealed his reputation.
Dealing with his son Ben's autism led him to become an important figure in a field which was fraught with ignorance and fear. Confronting his own intersection with autism made him a pioneer in dealing with it, and helped him become even more than a great golfer.
That is shown by his generous hosting over recent years of the South African Open Championship, where he gives unstintingly of his time - to tournament promotion as well as to Els for Autism - despite trying to perform in the tournament to his own exacting standards.
He'll have none of that responsibility on his shoulders this week at Quail Hollow. And while the eyes of the world will be on the big young names, South Africa - to every last person - will be willing the Big Easy on.
Most of all, when that last putt is sunk, we will be proud of Ernie Els.

This weekend sees the final of the ABSA Currie Cup 1st Division, as the Pumas hosts the EP Kings at the Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit. The Pumas eased through the season as they topped the log with an unbeaten record and qualifies for a promotion / relegation against the bottom finisher of the Premier Division.
In the first semi final at the Mbombela Stadium, the Pumas outscored the SWD Eagles 6 tries to 3 on Friday, beating them 52 – 33.
Pumas – Tries: Christo Le Roux, Coenie van Wyk, Corne Steenkamp, Renaldo Bothma, RW Kember, Stefan Watermeyer.
Conversions: Carl Bezuidenhout (6)
Penalties: Carl Bezuidenhout (5)
SWD Eagles – Tries: Alshaun Bock, Anver Venter, Clinton Wagman
Conversions: Justin van Staden (3)
Penalties: Justin van Staden (4)
The second semi final was played at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth between the EP Kings and the Leopards. The match went to extra time as the score was level at 22 all after the regular 80 minutes. The Leopards missed a penalty kick in the first 10 minutes of extra time which ultimately cost them the game, despite scoring a try at the end of the 100 minute game. The Kings scored a converted try and a penalty during the extra 20 minutes.
EP Kings – Tries: Kayle van Zyl, Tim Agaba
Conversions: Scott van Breda (2)
Penalties: Scott van Breda (6)
Leopards – Tries: Edmar Marais, Tiaan Dorfling
Conversions: Adriaan Engelbreght (2)
Penalties: Adriaan Engelbreght (5)
It will however not be the first time these two sides meet in a 1st Division Final, as they played in Port Elizabeth last year. There was very little separating these two sides a year ago as their round robin matches ended in draws, it was however the Kings that won the final 26 – 25.
The Kings and Pumas have been dominant in the 1st Division since 2009, when the Pumas won the trophy. A year later, 2010, the Kings beat SWD in George, 2011 the Kings defended the trophy unsuccessfully against Boland in Wellington. The Kings qualified for the 3rd consecutive year for the final in 2012 when they regained the trophy by beating the Pumas in Port Elizabeth. This year the Kings will travel to Nelspruit to defend their trophy yet again, against the Pumas.Tweet

Veteran television actor Abid Ali has passed away at the age of 67 on Thursday.

Abid worked in numerous dramas such as Mehendi, Diyar-e-Dil, Daldal, Moorat, Rukhsati, Baitiyaan, Bad Gumaan, Gushtakh Ishq, Naagin and others.
With the news breaking of his demise, tributes began pouring in from the acting fraternity.
We worked together in so many dramas and he was one of my closest friends in the industy, renowned writer and poet Amjad Islam told The Express Tribune.
He was one of the pioneers in the drama industry despite not having any formal acting training, he added.
Abid Ali was a fatherly figure for me in the industry and will be sorely missed, fellow actor Bushra Ansari said.
#AbidAli became the top Twitter trend in the country as users of the micro-blogging site paid tribute to the actor.

Apple's large screen iPhone 6 Plus is finally available in the world's biggest smartphone market and Chinese consumers don't have to resort to smugglers.
The new device went on sale Friday in China, almost a month after their global debut. The 4.7-inch iPhone 6 starts at 5,288 yuan (USD863) through Apple's China outlets which compares with $649 for the same model without a contract on its U.S. website.
Strong demand, especially for the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus, saw Chinese consumers pay black market vendors almost double the Hong Kong price for phones brought illegally across the border after its global release. While the debut comes as China's wireless carriers cut subsidies on devices, the new Apple phones will outsell previous models, said Bryan Wang, China country manager for Forrester Research.
"The large screen iPhones are going to sell better in China for the first weekend than last year's iPhone 5s, but may not be multiple folds," Wang said.
As many as 20 million consumers registered to buy the new devices through various channels, according to a report on Tencent Holdings Ltd.'s Tech.qq.com website. Usually about 10 percent to 15 percent of registrations result in sales, implying sales between 2 million and 3 million units, Wang said.
About 150 people lined up at Apple's store in China Central Place in eastern Beijing Friday to pick up devices they pre-ordered as staff in blue shirts clapped and chanted "iPhone 6" in Mandarin.
Among the first was 27-year-old doctoral candidate An Le, who has used Apple since getting an iPhone 4s and bought the 6 Plus. He had been waiting for Apple to release a larger screen phone to rival devices from Samsung.
"Samsung has already had large screens for years, and I've been waiting for Apple to catch up," An said. "Now that it's finally here I really want to give it a try."
Apple and other high-end smartphone makers are facing changes in how China's wireless carriers sell devices as operators move to lower the amount they spend on subsidizing new devices. China Mobile, the world's largest carrier, is taking steps toward eliminating $2 billion in smartphone subsidies.
At the carrier's store in Beijing's Wangfujing shopping street, staff explain there are no unique packaging or pricing plans for the iPhone 6 and no subsidies for any smartphones on display.
Instead, customers are offered discounts on calling plans depending on their monthly spending. On the most expensive plan, the total discount adds up to 3,264 yuan over two years, or about 62 percent of the cheapest iPhone 6.
Apple is also rolling out the new iPhones in India and Monaco and the phones will reach an additional 36 countries this month. By the end of October, the devices will be available in 69 countries and on pace to reach 115 countries by year's end, Apple said in a statement.
Still, none of those markets can compare to China, where Apple got $5.9 billion of sales in the three months ended June 28, or about 16 percent of the company's total revenue. The China region for which the company discloses sales includes Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Fever for the largest devices had buyers in Beijing last month paying 12,000 yuan for the 128 gigabyte iPhone 6 Plus, or 87 percent more than the Hong Kong list price. That model cost 7,788 yuan at Apple from Friday, according to its China website.
"The outlook for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus seems positive in China," said Tay Xiaohan, a Singapore-based analyst with International Data Corp. "Apple has always been a very popular brand with the Chinese, and with the demand for larger screen sized phones growing in China, we are not surprised to see the high number of pre-orders for iPhones in the market."

Apple looks for big screen boost as iPhone 6 hits China

For the average Sabah tourist, climbing Mount Kinabalu is usually high on the main priority list. But if you're up for more adventure to spice up your climb, why not sign up for Mountain Torq's Alpine Sports Climbing course?
A newly launched adventure travel product, the Alpine Sports Climbing course will not only help you realize your dream to become a pro climber, but you will also get to do three activities at a time: trek through the Timpohon Trail, experience the Via Ferrata route and rock-climb on Mount Kinabalu's solid granite walls.
Timpohon Trail trek
Day 1 started with a 6-kilometer trek from the Timpohon Gate at Kinabalu Park to Pendant Hut (3,270m) circa 9.30am. For those who have yet to climb Mount Kinabalu, the length of time taken to trek through the Timpohon Trail varies—three to four hours if you've been going to the gym; seven to eight hours if you've been vegetating with abandon.
Normally, your mountain guide will prepare a small packed lunch for you before you set off on your journey. But just in case you're worried about lacking fuel, it's always best to keep an energy bar or two handy in your backpack. You can also munch on dried fruits or bananas throughout the climb, and do make sure to keep hydrated at all times (but not too hydrated as the next toilet is situated 1 kilometer away from the last one).
At approximately 1.30pm, I finally reached Pendant Hut and checked in. I was given a basic yet cozy dorm (which I would share with three other people) with a bunk bed and sleeping bag as my resting place for the next two nights.
After dinner, myself along with other novice climbers gathered at the main hall for a pre-climbing briefing by our guides, Jinu and Pody. During the briefing, we were introduced to the main safety equipments used, both on the Via Ferrata route and for alpine rock climbing. Safety equipments include the safety helmet, climbing harness, lanyard and carabiner. Another important aspect of rock climbing is rope management.
Among the crucial rope management skills are how to check for broken or unsafe rope, how to make a proper loop and the correct way of tying the rope to the harness and knotting it using the figure-8 knot.
After briefing, it was 'lights out' time.
Walking on the Via Ferrata
The Alpine Sports Climbing course started 6.30am. Right after breakfast, we slipped into our harnesses, grabbed our backpacks and set off for a climb.
The first half of the climb involves going on the Via Ferrata route which was exciting and mind-boggling. The first thing you have to make sure before going on the Via Ferrata route is to wear a comfortable pair of shoes that are light and flexible—I wore the New Balance 750v1,which was pretty helpful. It also helps to have a pair of light, water-resistant gloves handy as the Via Ferrata cables can get numbingly cold making gripping quite difficult.

When I applied for this job (I'm a Producer working on the Mayors Fund for London Funded Creativity Works programme) I definitely didn't know that I'd end up hanging out with 30 young East Londoners in Paris and Jean Paul Gaultier himself at his Autumn 2014 Couture Show for the CW Fashion programme.
That was last year. And I was just coming to terms with the above.
Then this year's Creativity Works Festivals group meet the man behind arguably the biggest festival in the world. A once in a lifetime trip on a site visit to Glastonbury- with a private tour from Michael Eavis.
The group; 40 Londoners aged
18-24 with a passion for festivals and events have spent two week's training,
in masterclasses, day boot camps and site visits with some of the biggest names
in Festivals and Events (including those behind Lovebox, Shangri-La, The Rum Shack, Field Day, Southbank and Barbican)
they've also delivered their own events at the Dalston Roof Park with our
partners Bootstrap Campus and are currently undertaking
temporary work placements, which will hopefully lead to paid employment in the
creative industries.
A Big History…
After zooming down the motorway consuming litres of coffee, tons of baked goods and 2 hours of a Mean Girls DVD, we arrive at onsite. Michael Eavis gets on board the coach (which probably smells like 45 Londoners, Croissants and Haribo- sorry Michael.) He's as smiling, relaxed and brilliant as you'd imagine, and takes to the on –board microphone, as we drive around the sprawling, beautiful 8.5 mile site.
We are joined by the lovely Kaye, Maree and Debs from the festivals hugely successful Night time field Shangri-La who, even as well-known veterans are in awe of hanging out with Michael. He is Glastonbury festival, and has been, since its inception in 1970 (when it was actually called the Pilton Pop, Blues & Folk Festival, attended by 1,500 people and it cost a quid to attend - with free milk thrown in.)
In the first 2 years David Bowie, Hawkwind, the Kinks, Fairport Convention and T. Rex had already graced the stage. Now, with an attendance of 175,000 people. 100+ stages and 2,200 performances, and Kanye- it's vastly different.
Magical Mystery or Moody Blues?
Michael's still got time to give us a Q & A after the tour….And this is what we learnt:
- When people kick up a fuss
about headliners' they don't like- it's actually not all band. "It's good media
coverage!- 140,000 complaints- it's more of a compliment"
- There are 400 cows onsite , and neighbouring farms often rent their space out (which makes part of the Glastonbury site) but the cows aren't affected – they go offsite for a while ( to their own private party)
- That many of the sites fields have sentimental and historic names and meanings, including and 'William's Green' the field - named after Michael's grandfather ' he was a card'
- Michael LOVES the Moody blues. More than the Beatles….There you go.
-The hardest thing about putting on Glastonbury festival? Getting the licensing sorted with the council.
Creativity Works: Why?
The Creativity Works Programme is funded by the Mayors fund for London, and delivered by us, at A New Direction, and Create London. It works with groups of 18-24 year old Londoners, to give them access, awareness and support into the creative industries, which is a burgeoning industry, (with recession-proof growth of 10 % year on year) but populated by a high income, graduate, and white workforce.
Our aim is simple yet effective. A group of young aspiring creatives get sector specific training, networking, masterclasses and site visits, work experience and then support into local creative opportunities. These include Apprenticeships, internships, and jobs. So far we've worked with nearly 100 young people for Creativity Works, Fashion, theatre, Outdoor Events and Arts and Now Creativity Works festivals. Find out more about Creativity Works Here
What's Next?
The group is due to finish their
work experience in the next week, and are applying for a variety of paid
internships apprenticeships and jobs in the creative industries, music, and
events industry. Many of the group are working on The Southbank Festival of Love, The
Barbican Station to Station,Lovebox, and The
Walthamstow Garden Party. They graduate on 21st July.
Our next programme Creativity Works: Panic! is focussed on learning more about music journalism, and media, and getting into the industry and launches soon. If you're aged 18-24 and from Tower Hamlets, Southwark, Lambeth, Islington or Hackney contact us to apply.

ADA Access: N
No campgrounds yet but the day area and boating area is very nice. Would definitely reccomend to anyone.
There is hiking, swimming, mountain biking, boating, fishing, and swimming here. Incredible scenery including waterfalls, old growth forests, canyons, etc. Close to waterways. The campground is medium sized, dense forests surround the campsites. The amenities are pretty standard. Fairly easy access to Birmingham and Huntsville.
Yay: great wildlife, as this is in the middle of a huge wilderness area.
Nay: closed winters but there are some other places open year-round nearby.
Surprise: The host was wonderful and recommended to visit Mize Mill Falls and Caney Creek Falls, both incredible places.
This is a great area to visit if you want a nicer place to stay but easy access to the nearby Sipsey wilderness. The site is really well kept with hot showers and toilets along with individual well spaced campgrounds. The sites are very private and what is great is that they each have their own picnic benches and areas to hang things. While you are staying here make sure to drive up the road and get some hiking in. There are plenty of entries into the hiking areas and each provides access to waterfalls and rivers galore. You really feel like you are in a different world. Totally worth the drive!
During my time in Alabama, I kept hearing wonderful things about Sipsey Wilderness, and its many waterfalls, rocky landscapes, and great hikes. Since it's "wilderness," there are no established campsites, and there is a strict "leave no trace" policy. That being said, the opportunity to pick your own home away from home on your backpacking trip leaves you with a plethora of gorgeous options! Be sure to check the water levels before your trip, because while Sipsey is always beautiful, it isn't abnormal for many of the waterfalls to be dried up after a hot summer. Also, if you park at the Sipsey River Picnic Area Trailhead, be sure to pay the $3/day parking fee. They will give you a steep ticket otherwise! I had read about the fee, but upon arriving didn't see where to pay and figured it must have been an outdated post. Turns out, there was just a car blocking the pay station, which is near the chemical toilet when you turn into the parking lot. It's a dated deposit system, where you put your payment in an envelope, drop it in a dropbox, and put the perforated proof of payment tag on your dashboard. So be sure to bring exact change!! I was expecting something a little more modern, so even if I had seen the deposit box, I wouldn't have had exact change on me.
The trails can get a little complicated, as there aren't really any trail markers, so be sure to buy a map of the area and bring it along with your compass. I found a map at mountain high outfitters at the Summit in Birmingham, AL, and it served us well. The 209 trail follows the river and is known as one of the more scenic routes. Nearby sites within the Sipsey Wilderness include Big Tree (the biggest tree in AL), Eye of the Needle, Ship Rock, numerous waterfalls, and several scattered cemeteries. All of these will be marked on a good map.
The area is very buggy, and the trails can get cramped/overgrown in parts, so I'd recommend wearing long pants and lots of bug spray!

In this blogpost, Priyanshu Upadhyay, Student, Christ University, Bangalore, writes about the analysis of the CRPC amendment pertaining to Section 156(3) and 190 by Maharashtra Government.
The Government of Maharashtra last year amended Section 156(3) and 190 of CrPC wherein no complaint can now be filed against public officials without valid sanction from a competent authority. The Government asserted that the amendment aims at protecting the public officials against false, frivolous and politically motivated cases. The assertion here needs to be scrutinized properly as sufficient protection was already granted to protect the dignity and image of public officials. This paper will scrutinize different elements present in the amendment. The paper is analytical to the extent that the amendment is analysed in the light of different case laws related to the subject.
Section 156(3) and 190 of CrPC grants special powers to a Magistrate to take cognizance of a case and order investigation on receiving a direct application from the complainant. The Government of Maharashtra last month amended Section 156(3) and 190 of Criminal Procedure Code by which it took away the discretionary powers of courts in case a complaint is filed against public officials. According to the amendment, no FIR can be registered against a public representative without the sanction from a competent authority. For instance, the police won't be able to file an FIR against any MLA or MP without the sanction from the speaker of the house. The amendment extends to lowest level elected representatives and public officials like panchayats and municipalities. The amendment is claimed to be in conformity with the judgment of Supreme Court in Anil Kumar &Ors. v. M.K.Aiyappa & Anr[1] rendered in 2013. The Government also stated that the amendment aims at protecting Government servants and elected representatives against false, frivolous and politically motivated cases. It was contended that in several cases, the complaints are found to be false and totally bereft of truth and those who are doing their work honestly get harassed which prevented them from doing their work.[2] According to the Government, the amendment is aimed to protect the Government officials and allow them to perform their duties fearlessly and efficiently.
However, the legislative enactment cannot be accepted blindly, and it needs to be tested on the touchstone of constitutional provisions. Further, no conclusion can be deduced unless the aims and objectives of the act are studied properly in the light of their prospective effects.ELEMENTS OF AMENDMENT
Elements of amendment
Maharashtra Government by the amendment gives special privilege to the Public officials over other people as now no FIR can also be filed under Section 156(3) and 190 CrPC, 1908, without the sanction of a competent authority. For determining the justness and fairness of the amendment, its components need to be analysed in the light of legislative intention and judicial precedents. The two moot areas which needs to be analysed are:
- The Scope and nature of power exercised by magistrate under Section 156(3) and 190 of CrPC, and;
- Meaning and applicability of word 'sanction'.
It is necessary to analyse the two components because special powers are granted to Magistrates under Section 156(3) and 190 of the CrPC and getting sanction from a competent authority is a special condition which needs to be satisfied before filing any case against public officials.
Scope and Nature of Power Exercised By The Magistrate Under Section 156(3) and 190 CrPC,1908:
Section 156(3) of and Section 190 CrPC empowers the magistrate to order an investigation on receipt of a direct complaint from any person. The Section reads as under[3]:
- 156. Police officer's power to investigate cognizable case.
(1) Any officer in charge of a police station may, without the order of a Magistrate, investigate any cognizable case which a Court having jurisdiction over the local area within the limits of such station would have power to inquire into or try under the provisions of Chapter XIII.
(2) No proceeding of a police officer in any such case shall at any stage be called in question on the ground that the case was one which such officer was not empowered under this section to investigate.
(3) Any Magistrate empowered under section 190 may order such an investigation as above- mentioned.
Section 156(3) should be read with Section 190 CrPC which is as under:
- Cognizance of offences by Magistrates –
(1) Subject to the provisions of this Chapter, any Magistrate of the first class, and any Magistrate of the second class specially empowered in this behalf under sub-section(2), may take cognizance of any offence—
(a) upon receiving a complaint of facts which constitute such offence;
(b) upon a police report of such facts;
(c) upon information received from any person other than a police officer, or upon his own knowledge, that such offence has been committed
(2) The Chief Judicial Magistrate may empower any Magistrate of the second class to take cognizance under sub-section (1) of such offences as are within his competence to inquire into or try the case.
So, when a complaint is filed under Section 156(3) before a Magistrate empowered under Section 190 he/she can take cognizance of the case and instruct the Police for further actions as provided under Section 156. The scope and ambit of Section 156(3) can be best understood with the help of different case laws and the interpretations provided therein.
In order to understand the scope and nature of both the sections, it is first important to ascertain the meaning of word 'cognizance'. The meaning of the word can be best understood with the help of the decision of the Apex Court in the case of R.R. Chari v. The State Of Uttar Pradesh wherein it was held that,
"taking cognizance does not involve any formal action or indeed action of any kind but occurs as soon as a. magistrate as such applies his mind to the suspected commission of an offence" have to be read in the light of these facts."
Further, when an application is received by the Magistrate under Section 156(3) CrPC he orders the Police for inquiry. The effect of application under Section 156(3) and its effect on police were explained by the Supreme Court in the case of Devarapalli Lakshminarayana Reddy and others v. V. Narayana Reddy and others[4] wherein it was held that,
"It may be noted further that an order made under sub-section (3) of Section 156, is in the nature of a peremptory reminder or intimation to the police to exercise their plenary powers of investigation under Section 156(1). Such an investigation embraces the entire continuous process which begins with the collection of evidence under Section 156 and ends with a report or charge sheet under Section 173."
After receiving information under Section 156(3) CrPC the Magistrate can order Police to file an FIR for the purpose of initiating the investigation. The proximity between information received under Section 156(3) and order to file an FIR was brought out by the Apex court in the case of Dilawar Singh v. State of Delhi[5]wherein it was held that,
"The clear position is that any Judicial Magistrate, before taking cognizance of the offence, can order investigation under Section 156(3) of the Code. If he does so, he is not to examine the complainant on oath because he was not taking cognizance of any offence therein. For the purpose of enabling the police to start investigation it is open to the Magistrate to direct the police to register an FIR. There is nothing illegal in doing so. After all registration of an FIR involves only the process of entering the substance of the information relating to the commission of the cognizable offence in a book kept by the officer in charge of the police station as indicated in Section 154 of the Code. Even if a Magistrate does not say in so many words while directing investigation under Section 156(3) of the Code that an FIR should be registered, it is the duty of the officer in charge of the police station to register the FIR regarding the cognizable offence disclosed by the complainant because that police officer could take further steps contemplated in Chapter XII of the Code only thereafter."
The Government of Maharashtra in support of the amendment contends that it is in conformity with the Supreme Court's Judgment in the case of Anil Kumar v. M.K. Aiyappa[6] rendered in 2013. Now, any person who runs through the judgment would easily say that the Maharashtra Government misinterpreted the judgment. The Court in its 2013 judgment brought out what can be called general guidelines which should be followed by the Magistrates on receiving any complaint under Section 156(3) CrPC against public officials. The court while drawing its conclusion referred the Maksud Saiyed's[7] case also wherein the application of mind by the Magistrates was explained. The extract from the judgment which deals with the same is as under:
"The scope of Section 156(3) CrPC came up for consideration before this Court in several cases. This Court in Maksud Saiyed [(2008) 5 SCC 668] examined the requirement of the application of mind by the Magistrate before exercising jurisdiction under Section 156(3) and held that where jurisdiction is exercised on a complaint filed in terms of Section 156(3) or Section 200 CrPC, the Magistrate is required to apply his mind, in such a case, the Special Judge/Magistrate cannot refer the matter under Section 156(3) against a public servant without a valid sanction order. The application of mind by the Magistrate should be reflected in the order. The mere statement that he has gone through the complaint, documents and heard the complainant, as such, as reflected in the order, will not be sufficient. After going through the complaint, documents and hearing the complainant, what weighed with the Magistrate to order investigation under Section 156(3) CrPC, should be reflected in the order, though a detailed expression of his views is neither required nor warranted."
After the 2013 judgement, the Supreme Court gave other two important judgments related to usage of Section 156(3) in the case of Mrs.Priyanka Srivastava and Another v. State of U.P. and others[8]. In this case, the apex court held that applications under Section 156(3) must be supported by an affidavit so that the chances of filing false complaints are reduced. The apex court also stated that the option to approach the Magistrate under Section 156(3) CrPC should be made available to a litigant with clean hands. The court held that,
"At this stage it is seemly to state that power under Section 156(3) warrants application of judicial mind. A court of law is involved. It is not the police taking steps at the stage of Section 154 of the code. A litigant at his own whim cannot invoke the authority of the Magistrate. A principled and really grieved citizen with clean hands must have free access to invoke the said power. In our considered opinion, a stage has come in this country where Section 156(3) CrPC applications are to be supported by an affidavit duly sworn by the applicant who seeks the invocation of the jurisdiction of the Magistrate. That apart, in an appropriate case, the learned Magistrate would be well advised to verify the truth and also can verify the veracity of the allegations. This affidavit can make the applicant more responsible. The warrant for giving a direction, that an application under Section 156(3) be supported by an affidavit so that the person making the application should be conscious and also endeavour to see that no false affidavit is made. It is because once an affidavit is found to be false he will be liable for prosecution in accordance with law. This will deter him to casually invoke the authority of the Magistrate under Section 156(3). In the present case, we are obligated to say that learned Magistrate should have kept himself alive to the aforesaid provision before venturing into directing registration of the FIR under Section 156(3) CrPC"
Section 156(3) and 190 CrPC gives power to Magistrate to take cognizance of a case on the direct complaint of the complainant. Decisions above explains that the Magistrate must exercise his power with due care and must apply his mind to different facts and circumstances before coming to any decision.Meaning and need for sanctions
Meaning and need for sanctions
The object and purpose underlying the need for a valid sanction from a competent authority before filing a case against public officials is to protect them from frivolous, vexatious or false prosecution with respect to the discharge of their official duties. Section 197 of Code of Criminal Procedure and Section 19 of Prevention of Corruption Act bars the Court from taking cognizance of the offence alleged to have been committed by the public servant except with the previous sanction of the Government/competent authority empowered to grant requisite sanction. Both sections start with the words; "No Court shall take cognizance of the offence".Sanction as required should be given by the Central Government or the State Government or any other authority, such sanction shall be given by that Government or authority which would have been competent to remove the public servant from his office at the time when the offence was alleged to have been committed. The status and relevance of a sanction can be understood with the following cases:
The importance of sanction and their role in protecting public officials was explained by the Apex Court in the case of General Officer, Commanding v. CBI[9]. It was held that,
"the law on the issue of sanction can be summarized to the effect that the question of sanction is of paramount importance for protecting a public servant who has acted in good faith while performing his duty. In order that the public servant may not be unnecessarily harassed on a complaint of an unscrupulous person, it is obligatory on the part of the executive authority to protect him….. If the law requires sanction, and the court proceeds against a public servant without sanction, the public servant has a right to raise the issue of jurisdiction as the entire action may be rendered void-ab-initio."
The requirement of a sanction is mandatory for filing any case against public officials and at the same time the sanction should be from a valid authority. The Apex Court in the case of Nanjappa v. State of Karnataka[10] clearly brought out the distinction between valid sanction and invalid sanction. It was held that the court is competent to try matters relating to public servants only when the complaint is accompanied with a valid sanction. The court held that,
"The competence of the court trying the accused so much depends upon the existence of a valid sanction. In case the sanction is found to be invalid the court can discharge the accused relegating the parties to a stage where the competent authority may grant a fresh sanction for prosecution in accordance with law. If the trial Court proceeds, despite the invalidity attached to the sanction order, the same shall be deemed to be non-est in the eyes of law and shall not forbid a second trial for the same offences, upon grant of a valid sanction for such prosecution."
So, requirement of a valid sanction has been a precondition for filing any case against public officials. The requirement protects the public officials from false, frivolous and vexatious allegations and allows them to work freely.
The requirement of sanction from a valid authority was a valid condition for filing any case against public officials under Section 197 of Code of Criminal Procedure and Section 19 of Prevention of Corruption Act. So, cases filed against public officials required valid sanction from competent authority but there was not bar on filling of an F.I.R. The Maharashtra Government with the amendment to Section 156(2) and 190 of CrPC has made it mandatory to get a valid sanction from a competent authority before filing any case against public officials.
Further, the decisions related to Section 156(3), 190 CrPC and requirement of sanction clearly depicts that sufficient protection was already granted to public officials. The Government of Maharashtra passed the amendment by stating that it would protect the officials against frivolous and false complaints. But from all the settled cases involving public officials, it is has been made clear that the court always takes required amount of care before taking cognizance of the same. After the amendment by Maharashtra Government, no FIR can now be filed against public officials without a valid sanction from a competent authority. The investigation now cannot be initiated without a valid sanction which makes the filing of complaint more difficult. It is clear that the Government of Maharashtra has conferred unfettered immunity to public officials and has put one more obstacle in the path of complainants.
Further, the records related to the public officials in Maharashtra depict that there was no need for such a step. According to analysis by Association for Democratic Reforms of affidavits submitted by MLAs from Maharashtra at the time of election in 2014, 165 (57%) of the MLAs had declared criminal cases. Out of these 51 (31%) MLAs had declared cases where charges had been framed. Among all legislative assemblies in India, Maharashtra is second highest after Jharkhand in the proportion of MLAs with criminal cases. Three MLAs had declared cases related to murder and attempt to murder while 11 MLAs declared cases related to crimes against women, three MLAs declared cases related to causing communal disharmony, 14 MLAs with cases of robbery and dacoity and nine MLAs with cases related to kidnapping.[11]
Further, it was contended that the amendment is in conformity with the 2013 Supreme Court judgment in Anil Kumar vs MK Ayappa case[12]. However, from the judgment of the case, it can be clearly inferred that the Government wrongly interpreted it. The Judgment nowhere talks about the requirement of sanction in order to file an FIR. Former IPS officer-turned-lawyer YP Singh also stated that "this decision is legally incorrect. The Supreme Court prohibited filing of a complaint in the court without sanction of the competent authority under section 19 of the Act. However, this does not restrict filing of an FIR, which is necessary to start an investigation. This is just putting the cart before the horse. To seek sanction, you need evidence, and evidence can only be collected if an FIR is filed."
The amendment confers unreasonable protection to Governmental officials which opens it to further misuse. The amendment also violates Article 14 of the Indian Constitution, 1950 as it goes against the principle of equality and equality before the law and gives unreasonable protection to public officials over the other class of people.
It can be inferred from the above that the step of Maharashtra Government is an anti-welfare step which acts as yet another protective shield to corrupt public officials. It is important that public officials should be allowed to enjoy enough freedom for doing their work properly and efficiently but at the same time, reasonable restriction should also be imposed in order to put a check on their misuse. In India requirement of a valid sanction for filing a case against public officials was already present as a valid protection. But, there was no restriction on filing an FIR.
The Government of Maharashtra with the amendment brought in a limitation on the filing of FIR, which in no way is reasonable. The amendment clearly imposes unfettered immunity on the public officials which opens it increased misuse. It is also clear that the basis of the amendment i.e the Supreme Court judgment nowhere matches the intention of the Government.
Therefore, it is concluded that the amendment can never be welcomed as it gives an unreasonable privilege to public officials being in violation of Article 14 and other settled principles of law.

3D Printing: CNC technology usually creates quicker outcomes than the relatively new process involving 3D printers. However, each of these manufacturing processes has benefits. Are they the same? Which should I choose for my manufacturing company?
To answer your questions we compiled the purposes, materials needed, efficiency, and detailed craftsmanship for both CNC and 3D printing. You can easily buy 3D printing through Dibbsto website.
Purposes For CNC and 3D Printing
CNC and 3D printing share qualities that make them suitable for specific uses. A computer numerical control router, known as CNC machine, for example, can make large, heavy, and detailed products. These products can be used for commercial and industrial engines, equipment, and machines.
CNC machines can use different materials for production and make massive quantities of a particular product. But they can facilitate production on a smaller scale as well.
The flexibility, however, of 3D printing enables manufacturers to quickly adapt to different tasks. The cost for every unit is the same at any quantity and rate. But these printers may not be economical for large production projects, despite the unique and personalized designs they can produce.
For instance, 3D printing is a favourite tool for artists and other creative professionals who thrive by making one-of-a-kind products. Recent technologies have utilized the flexibility of 3D printers to use in medical and dental settings as well, creating customized items that suit specific patients.
Manufacturing Materials Needed
CNC manufactures parts used for aeroplanes, engines, production machinery, and other high-intensity product environments. CNC routers can also create outputs from wood, wax, plastic, and practically any other material.
3D printers, on the other hand, use additive processes to manufacture products from metals, specialized plastics, resins, and other materials. 3D printers typically do not have the needed strength used for aeroplanes and production machinery.
Instead, the materials used to print 3D objects are more suitable for making prototypes and consumer grade products for both home and personal applications.
Detailed Craftsmanship
CNC manufacturing gives superior surface quality even when compared to the best 3D printers. CNC produced parts can essentially go straight into use while 3D printed products may need separate steps. This means the 3D printing process is less effective than the CNC process on some levels.
3D printers simply don't have the precision needed for mission-critical applications. However, as these printers evolve, they may eventually catch up to CNC when it comes to detailed craftsmanship.
The efficiency of CNC and 3D Printing
CNC machines begin with milling a block of a specific material to meet design specs. When efficiency is paramount, CNC machines can trade accuracy for faster production, bringing products to market faster for exponential business growth. Currently, 3D printing can't keep up with the efficiency levels of CNC.
Just like a paper printer, 3D printers need to be scaled to meet specific production levels. This is evident in any printing scenario. For example, think about an at home printer versus a corporate office printer. Even at its best, the 3D printer cannot keep up with the pace of CNC machines.
After a product completes the printing process, there are still other production tweaks to make, unlike in the case of CNC. Specifically, manual removal of complex supports before polishing, washing, and curing the product before it can be used is needed in the post-production process.
Overview of Key Benefits
Despite the differences of both 3D printing and CNC, each has its group of benefits. This is where you need to take a hard look at the manufacturing processes you need in place to make your business a success.
CNC machine benefits include:
- A wide selection of materials that can be used for production
- Freedom to choose the resolution of the production process in exchange for efficiency and/or cost
- Top-tier surfaces and detailed craftsmanship
- Affordable production regardless of product size or shape
- Less expensive machinery
3D printing benefits include:
- User-friendly operation.
- Part complexity is cost-effective
- Unlimited capacity to make products with complicated designs
- Price is consistent despite the size of the product batch
- Flexibility when changing production tasks
In Conclusion . . .
3D printing and CNC technologies have overlapping capabilities, but each has strengths that make them great for specialized applications. CNC mills and routers typically work best for projects that need sophisticated, highly detailed products that are made from readily available materials.
However, 3D printing has its place for the production of prototypes, custom-designed jobs, and other more specialty tasks. It simply depends on the manufacturer needs. Have you switched from CNC to 3D printing? Tell us your story.

The Greens currently hold six seats on the council where it is the official opposition – and it hopes to increase that number despite the fact that the overall number of councillors is set to fall from 40 to 34.
Group leader councillor Rachel Eburne said: "Continued control of the council by a single party can lead to complacency and our aim is to continue challenging and holding the Conservatives to account."
The Greens campaign will aim to: Give local people back their council by moving the meetings and headquarters to where they live, while making decision making more public and transparent.
The party has been critical of the move of the council's administration, which it shares with neighbouring Babergh, to offices in Suffolk County Council's Endeavour House headquarters in Ipswich.
The party wants to focus council investment on building homes locally not buying properties in remote shopping centres – the Cifco investment company jointly owned by Mid Suffolk and Babergh has invested in retail and business premises in Peterborough, Norwich, Milton Keynes and Brentwood.
And the Greens want to ensure new homes in Mid Suffolk are built to 21st century standards with minimal heating bills adapted to the low carbon future.
Ms Berry became co-leader of the Green Party earlier this month alongside Jonathan Bartley, replacing the party's only MP Caroline Lucas. She is a member of the London Assembly and has been a campaigner on several green and civil liberty issues.
The Mid Suffolk Green Party is one of the strongest in Suffolk. As well as holding six district council seats, Andrew Stringer sits on Suffolk County Council where he is leader of the Green, Liberal Democrat and Independent group.
And in this rural part of the county the Green Party has established itself as the main opposition to the Conservatives running the authority.
