YOKE Movement as Medicine with PUMAH
27 July, 2018 @ 6:30 pm - 9:30 pm$31.25
Join us in this exploration of Movement as Medicine, with this transcendental live Dj set by Byron Bay artist PUMAH.
YOKE is a Melbourne based community fusing dance & self expression with live and electronic beats. The word YOKE is a Sanskrit term meaning 'coming together', forming union. Our workshops are about facilitating authentic connections to oneself and one other in a space completely free from judgments. We invite you to take the time to let go of the mind and drop into the body through ecstatic dance and movement. YOKE is a collaborative consciousness calling all individuals seeking to express intuitively and energize the soul.
At YOKE we believe in oneness at the core of all existence. With the help of our resident DJs and musicians, who play a mixture of down tempo, deep house, techno, world and live sound healing, we will take you on a two-hour journey releasing the mind and opening the heart. Always guided by your own body's wisdom, the sacred space and music provided become a backing track to the deeper lessons that lie within ourselves when we truly let go.
Sanna Olive Wittner is a movement facilitator, body worker and motivational up-lifter. Having danced from a small age, she has explored various styles of Hip Hop, Tap, Jazz, African, Funk, Electronic and Improvisational free flow. She has recently expanded her knowledge of the correlation between body and mind through a regular yoga meditation practice and ancient healing techniques. Her vision for Yoke was to create a safe space for like-minded bodies and souls to call home. One where each individual feels comfortable expressing themselves in their unique and wonderful ways. A place of acceptance and nurture, as well as a whole lot of fun and funkiness!
A general life lover and advocate of wholehearted living, Sanna is passionate about assisting others in realizing their own true potential and light. She is thankful for the opportunity to be a leader of today, and for the ongoing support received by the community in carrying out her soul's purpose.

FIFA vice-president ponders calendar year season in Europe
FIFA vice-president Victor Montagliani has said that moving the European soccer season to the calendar year is a "possibility to be discussed" in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic which has brought football to a standstill around the world.
In an interview with Italy's Radio Sportiva, Montagliani, who is seen as a close ally of FIFA president Gianni Infantino, said the move would fit in with the 2022 World Cup being played in Qatar in November and December.
The head of world soccer's governing body himself has said that football will be totally different when it restarts and that the current stoppage could be a good chance to overhaul the overloaded calendar which is due to run until 2024.
"We have the opportunity because the World Cup in Qatar in 2022 will be played in November/December and that could be the idea," said Montagliani, who is president of the CONCACAF confederation.
"Here in the Americas, the season is already played according to the calendar year, perhaps it is a solution that could also be used in Europe and Africa, it is a possibility to be discussed at national and continental level," he said.
"It is not an idea to be discarded, it can be a solution in view of the next two years and this winter World Cup".
A number of European leagues, including Italy, Germany and England, still hope to finish their seasons but doing so could force the start of the 2020-21 campaign to be pushed back. UEFA also wants to finish the Champions League and Europa League.
"We had already started thinking about how to set a new calendar from 2024, now with this crisis we need immediate answers," added Montagliani.

Glasgow Celtic suffered just their second defeat of the campaign on Saturday when they were beaten 1-0 by Kilmarnock, reducing their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership table to eight points.
Olivier Ntcham was not impressive for Brendan Rodgers' Celtic side that lost against Kilmarnock on Saturday.
Few fans would argue that Ntcham hasn't been arguably the club's best player in recent weeks.
The French midfielder has received poor reviews for his performances as of late, but his performance on Saturday which saw Celtic lost 1-0 to Kilmarnock was just a salt spilled on his wound.
Ntcham had many chances but never made use of them in an attacking sense, which has not been the player that the club have praised since the turn of the year.
There were plenty of other poor players for the club shock defeat at Killie, but fans has singled out Ntcham that the ex-Manchester City ace – a £4.5 million summer signing for the club – didn't do enough. Consistent has been his major blow in his first season in Scotland.
He has had brilliant times in the past for the club but failed to make use of them, and Celtic fans will be hoping that their side defeat to Kilmarnock isn't a sign of the same the Frenchman had suffered with the club before this season.
Ntcham, 21, is obviously a big player and there's plenty of class there, but Rodgers' task is to get the best of the 21-year-old every single week. A series of shrewd performances and one bad one isn't what the club want.
Worst I've seen Ntcham in a while, was like he had none awareness today but he wasn't the only one
— Paddy? (@Paddy7_) February 3, 2018
I like ntcham as well but he had an absolute holocaust today
— Kenneth Fitzpatrick (@fitzybhoy79) February 3, 2018
Just mean for when it's not working mate. Change of direction, Wee bit if energy. I think ntcham struggles a bit on tight pitches when teams sit in
— Gowrie (@Gowriebhoy) February 3, 2018
I thought Ntcham was really good against hibs and hearts. Poor today. Kouassi booking restricted him and he was frustrated with the holding and pushing without protection.
— Rab (@bhoab) February 3, 2018
Just too many touches and bad passes from the pair of them. Feel Kouassi needs a run in the team but has to do better than today. Positive was the lad Hendry, thought he was excellent.
— DeathofAttila (@ABurningPride) February 3, 2018
100%. Ntcham has been our best player in the last couple of months but absolutely woeful today. Kouassi has a lot of potential but hasn't played 2 good games in a row. Lack of service to the front players was the problem today
— DeathofAttila (@ABurningPride) February 3, 2018

100% I wouldn't have changed a thing , Jozo apart .
Tbf Killie would've made it hard regardless and it might not have made much difference. Look how Ntcham struggled today .
He just couldn't seem to get to grips with the pitch at all
— Derek (@TheBhoyMoz) February 3, 2018
Ntcham is feast or famine, either outstanding or a man short.
Hes young and will improve
— Shaysda (@shaysda) February 3, 2018
I think Olivier Ntcham was out on the lash last night

Garfield creator Jim Davis to help governor pass out Halloween candy
Bill McCleery
A longtime Hoosier lasagna lover is joining Indiana's first family at the governor's residence on Halloween to hand out goodies to trick-or-treaters.
Garfield the cat and his creator, Delaware County's Jim Davis, will spend Friday evening with Gov. Mike Pence and first lady Karen Pence.
The governor will dress as a beekeeper while handing out treats, according to a release from Pence's staff, and the first lady will dress as a honeybee.
The festive gathering is 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday at the governor's home at 4750 N. Meridian St., Indianapolis.
Pence and the cartoonist have been friends about 25 years, said Kara Brooks, a spokeswoman for the governor.

24 hour later, plus…
I had an internet issue, and didn't get all my poems posted on hour, but I did write them on the hour…
but this time I made it 24 in 24!
I'm a graphic designer, who loves photography, poetry & music. I've been writing poetry since I was in high school. My format is usually freeform, but sometimes I write haiku. This is an awesome way to get my brain going, so I will probably be writing well after the marathon is complete!
24 hour later, plus…
I had an internet issue, and didn't get all my poems posted on hour, but I did write them on the hour…
but this time I made it 24 in 24!
as I sit to write
I wonder where
the words come from
do I get them from
my brain? or do I
pluck them from the air?
as I gaze out the window pane
I see a tiny blur
zipping around the flowers
of a rose of sharon tree
the blur zips and zings
hovering here and there
as it drinks the nectar
from the hanging flowers
it hovers so briefly…
the sun creeps over the
softening the darkened
offering its bright
bringing the day from
I miss the sounds of him
the tuning of his soul
the softness of his voice
as he leaves for the show
the gentle way he would
draw me into him
as he would leave each
time he would have to go…
I miss laying my head on
his chest and placing my
hand there too – to feel
his heartbeat – I miss him so
the house is still
I can hear the wind
outside, blowing –
creaks and groans
of the old framework
and pops of the windows
break the solemnity of
the house
as I drift off into slumber
my eyes grow heavy
my brain slows
the pen and paper are
mocking me
IDEA! i start the next
poem – only to
scribble out those
first horrible lines…
i struggle to string the
words together…
then suddenly i start
to write!
amazingly a poem forms
in the wee hours
of light…
Laughter floats through the air.
Children's screams of joy!
The lawn sprinkler shoots
cool water up towards the
hot, summer sun as
the kids run through!
the fireflies light up the yard
dusk falls
soft music plays as we
relax on the porch
a glass of wine
light conversation
– yes, this is a wonderful summer evening…
seeds planted
a soft watering
the soil pushes aside
green sprouts appear
such is the garden
in early summer

In the first 3 months of the year, I read 3.5 books on stoic philosophy. After "A Guide to the Good Life" by William Irvine (Stoicism 101), I made my way through Seneca's "Letter from a Stoic" and Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations." I read about half of Epictetus' "Enchiridon" before stopping – it didn't work for me.
As I was reading these books, I wrote down a series of reflections. On some occasions, they were directly from the books. On others, the books reminded me of a note from elsewhere (often from Stephen Covey's "7 Habits").
I then synthesized it into 3 themes that represented what stoicism stood for in my mind.
I. Let perspective and joy flow from hyper gratitude
The poor person isn't the one who has little. It is the one who craves the most.
Spend no time today contemplating what you don't have. Think instead of the amazing things you do have.. and imagine how bad it might be if those were taken away.
Remember that we're living a life that our ancestors could only dream of.. and that you dreamt of. There's magic around us!
Cities and civilizations take years to build and moments to fall. Fortune and nature have their way in the end. Remember the awesome power of luck in your life and don't underestimate its ability to take what it has given.
"When I look upon the tombs of the great, every emotion of envy dies in me; when I read the epitaphs of the beautiful, every inordinate desire goes out; when I meet with the grief of parents upon a tombstone, my heart melts with compassion; when I see the tombs of the parents themselves, I consider the vanity of grieving for those whom we must quickly follow; when I see kings lying by those who deposed them, when I consider rival wits placed side by side, or the men that divided the world with their contests and disputes, I reflect with sorrow and astonishment on the little competitions, factions, and debates of mankind."
Let molehills be molehills. If it isn't going to matter in 5 years, don't let it take much of your attention.
What if we died today? How would that change how we did the small things?
Celebrate the life of those who've passed. Don't let that take away focus from those around you.
II. With perspective, replace negative emotions with grace
Blame is pointless.
Keep a sense of humor – especially when you feel you are insulted or offended or provoked.
Keep counsel in silence when you are angry. Don't fight fire with fire. Remember the fire department only uses water.
To be able to bear a perceived misfortune is good fortune. Our misfortunes aren't worth dwelling on. The world will move on without us. Time will move on…
Wish for events to unfold as they're unfolding – and not as you desire it. And you'll never feel you don't have enough. :)
What counts is not the fall. It is the bounce back.
III. Focus on the process by playing the infinite game
Focus on what you control – keep laser focused on process over outcomes.
Macro patience, micro speed. Today matters.
Let our velocity show in the conversations we say yes to and the comments we choose to make. Let it not show in our hurry to get a word in.
Be a light, not a judge. Let your actions speak. We are what we do.
Do not fear mistakes. Fear only the absence of a creative, constructive, and corrective response.
Welcome minor discomforts – cold, hunger, and the pain that comes from stretching mentally or physically.
Spend time with people who help you learn and provide you positive energy.
Treat everyone how you'd treat your bosses.
Spend time in depth. Instead of reaching for a feed, reach for a book.
Meditate/reflect about the day at the end of the day. Think about whether you lived as you intended and about what you learnt.
You never know if a good day is a good day. It's never as good or bad as it seems. The universe is unfolding as it should.
Don't chase fame or wealth. Both are fickle and move us further away from tranquility. Focus instead on virtues that matter to you and the game you are playing. Success – as you define it – ensues.
For a few weeks, I read all these notes every morning as a daily reminder. But, this list turned out to be too long. So, I sought to synthesize all of this into 3-5 notes that I could could read and commit to everyday.
I will follow up with that list in tomorrow's post.

Time to put my travel pants back on! After a hectic summer, Dani and I are finally checking a big trip off our bucket lists- traveling to the land of the leprechauns, whiskey, and Guinness! I am ever so grateful to have this once in a lifetime opportunity, and super excited to share this adventure with anyone reading this(:
As per tradition, a list of Trip Goals has been acquired:
- Find a super sketchy dive bar
- see something over 1000 years old
- count the gingers!
- find at least one random animal to pet
- kiss a random person (we are in Ireland after all…)
- eat weird food
- learn a traditional Irish song
- have a toast with a random person
- figure out how to pronounce town names
- learn three words in Gaelic per day
- learn an Irish drinking song
Let the fun begin!
4 August 2016-Travel day
Have I ever mentioned how convenient it is to travel in barn boots? I can shove anything and everything down the shafts…passport, wallet, cell phone, unsuspecting bananas…the possibilities are endless!
The flight from Denver to Atlanta and the layover were both uneventful…but the trip from Atlanta to Dublin was tons of fun! It began with us getting grounded by lightning for almost an hour (bunch of pansies…) during which time Dani and I commenced harassing a lovely lad from Waterford (from now on he will be named LLFW in the interest of preserving his privacy and all that good stuff). He told us all about how Irish accents are different (I will admit, he had a lovely lilt that Dubliners seem to be missing) and what some fun slang terms are and such. Definitely made the flight pass quicker! His dad is in the Thoroughbred racing industry in Kentucky, so he has dual citizenship. He plans to use it to go to college in the States. Dani and I told him that he was going to have girls chasing after him…he seemed clueless. Oh boy…
LLFW also has the beautiful black hair, pretty skin and beautiful blue eyes that Dani and I's friend Mr. Whitney has. LLFW is in for quite a bit of trouble I imagine, with those Irish looks and an accent. I feel that the unsuspecting American girls will need to be forewarned(:
5 August 2016
Ginger Count: 2 super gingers (those that look like they belong to the Weasley clan) and 24 regular gingers. Dani and I had a lot of fun picking out the gingers, although I feel that this is somehow politically incorrect…oh well, we only get to be young and stupid in Ireland once!
at 12:30 (after being in Ireland for approximately two hours and running on roughly three hours of sleep) I had already managed to choke on food, spill coffee all over myself, and curse loudly in front of small children.
Dani and I went on a beautiful walking tour of the Dublin City Centre (the same location as our hotel, conveniently enough) for four hours with a lovely guide named Patty. She was very grandmotherly, reminded both Dani and me of Mary Poppins was about 5 foot 2 and walked fast enough to put a New Yorker to shame (yes Rob, that means you). With both of us tired out of our minds and running on caffeine and spite at that point, processing what we were seeing was hard (okay, maybe only hard for me). We saw such lovely sites as St. Patrick's Cathedral (see below)
We went and saw the Book of Kells at Trinity College, but sadly could not take pictures (it's from 900…we totes saw something over 1000 years old! First trip goal accomplished) but we also got to see Long Hall- home to every single book printed in Ireland as well as all the copyrights.
We saw some other of the previous British royalty's "town homes," some of which are now government buildings, others of which are tourist attractions.
Dublin is a strange mix of the old and new, but it somehow works. Everyone is friendly so far!
Dani and I went back to the hotel, crashed for a few hours, then proceeded to get up and get dinner. We were told the Temple Bar district of Dublin is where all the young people like ourselves gather, so we thought we would check it out. We had some delicious food, and some excellent people watching. Apparently, people like to dress up as leprechauns. And at 19:30 at night some people are already drunk enough to hike their pants up over their nipples and walk around like that. We saw it in person…I'm surprised the guy doing that didn't hurt himself a bit…
After dinner, Dani and I decided to have "just one drink" and check out the scenery. Well, our first drink was something called "Baby Guinness" which is a mix of Kahlua and Bailey's. It was delicious. Then there was another shot. Then there was a coffee Martini for me and some whiskey for Dani. Then there was a fruity drink for me (in a rooftop bar!) and more whiskey for Dani. Then there was some Guinness for me and more whiskey for Dani. Then there was some Irish cider for me…and more whiskey for Dani. Then we ended up crashing a stag party of a bunch of English guys and doing shots of tequila. And then we went to some weird bar and had shots of sambuca and some Canadian beer…and holy crap I just now realized we had a lot to drink. Like it's a miracle we didn't get sick (thank you high elevation I guess??)
We rounded off the night getting kebabs with some ginger guy from Galway named Johnny at 02:15 in the morning and then getting lost on our way back to the hotel. But we made it! I'm sorry mom. And Dani's mom. YOLO?
Tata for now!

Lifestyle Medicine is the use of evidence-based lifestyle therapeutic intervention—including a whole-food, plant-predominant eating pattern, regular physical activity, restorative sleep, psychosocial stress management, avoidance of risky substances, and positive social connection to prevent, treat, and often reverse chronic disease.¹
What is 'Prescribing Lifestyle Medicine?
Prescribing Lifestyle Medicine* or Lifestyle Medicine Prescriptions* are evidence-based customized patient action plans around nutrition, physical activity, stress management, social connection, or any other lifestyle intervention.
A successful Lifestyle Medicine prescription starts with a deep understanding of the patient and their life circumstances. Once this has been established, a SMART (specific, measurable, accountable, realistic, and time connected) Lifestyle Medicine prescription can be written. ¹
When you prescribe Lifestyle Medicine you add a smart choice of care for patients to the existing Rx prescriptions and managing symptoms model.
* The terms Prescribing Lifestyle Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine Prescription are used by several Lifestyle Medicine organizations after completion of a training.
** The term Lifestyle Prescriptions® is a global trademark of the Lifestyle Prescriptions® University and can only be used after successfully completing the Write Lifestyle Prescriptions® Course at the Lifestyle Prescriptions® University.
Why Prescribe Lifestyle Medicine?
The science is clear. Lifestyle is Medicine and has the potential to stop and reverse the majority of chronic, non-communicable diseases like diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular, pain, depression, or anxiety.¹

"Lifestyle as medicine has the potential to prevent up to 80% of chronic disease; no other medicine can match that. In addition, it is potentially inexpensive and even cost-saving; free of all but good side effects; safe and appropriate for children and octogenarians alike. It is, quite simply, the best medicine we've got."

The World Health Organisation estimates that 14m people around the world had tuberculosis (TB) in 2009. Last year the disease killed 1.3m people who did not also have HIV. Another 400,000 people are counted as having died from AIDS but also having TB, to which HIV makes people more susceptible. India had an estimated 3m people with the disease. Another 1.8m sufferers lived in China. But the proportion of the population with TB is much higher elsewhere, notably in South Africa, Cambodia and the Philippines. Over the past decade the prevalence of the disease has plummeted in Pakistan and China. But in South Africa, which has the world's highest rate of HIV infection, it has shot up.

Tarot Class with Rhonda Testimonial
"Rhonda Alin!! She is such an amazing teacher! I had one professional Tarot reading many, many years ago that I still remember today because it was accurate and changed my life. While I always thought I was on the fence about learning Tarot, when the opportunity arose to take this beginner's class - I didn't want to pass it up. I had believed some misconceptions. Tarot was not scary. It alleviated my fears. It was not based on "bad things" - it helped me discover how to change my life for the better. Wanting to improve your life circumstances, or just understanding the nature of your being are just a few aspects discovered through Tarot. There is discovery and purpose that shines through with accuracy and possibilities. As with all classes through Blossoming into Light - this class comes from a place of love and light and Rhonda is phenomenal. Her clarity, guidance, and wisdom are top-notch. I don't know how I can be taught by anyone else after this fabulous experience, but as I learned through Tarot -- there are many teachers. Learning about myself isn't always easy and this class was a blast and so much fun. Tarot truly is a gift. Don't miss this opportunity!"

Qi Gong Classes with Sal Testimonial
I initially started taking Qi Gong classes with Sal Canzonieri for stress reduction. He helped me in that area tremendously, but the other benefits I have experienced over the last 10 years have been equally life changing. Sal cares about his students; he does not simply "lead" a class, he ensures that each student learns the correct technique for the student to experience the amazing benefits of Qi Gong and Tai Chi. Those benefits include physical flexibility, stamina, physical and emotional strength, physical and emotional balance. Over the last 10 years I have consistently heard the amazed comments from students, that although they arrived at Sal's classes stressed, tired, stiff, and in pain, they invariably leave renewed. I am thankful for the day I saw Sal's sign in the window of Art of the Heart.

Supreme Court Judgments
The State represented by the Deputy Superintendent of Police Vs. Tr. N. Seenivasagan
[Criminal Appeal Nos. 231-232 of 2021 arising out of SLP (Crl) Nos. 3104-3105 of 2020]
Dr. Dhananjaya Y. Chandrachud, J
1. Leave granted.
2. These appeals arise out of a judgment and order of a learned Single Judge of the High Court of Judicature at Madras dated 24 June 2019.
3. The appellant is the State represented by the Deputy Superintendent of Police, Vigilance and Anti-Corruption, Chennai City-IV. On 13 July 2010, FIR No 14 of 2010 was registered against the respondent (Accused No 1) and another accused (who has since passed away) under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 19881. The respondent was a Chief Engineer in the Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Company Limited2. It is alleged that he demanded a bribe for revoking the suspension of an employee.
On 28 June 2011, the Chairman cum Managing Director of TANGEDCO accorded sanction to prosecute the respondent and the co-accused under the PC Act. On behalf of the appellant, it has been urged that this sanction was accorded by the Chairman on behalf of the Board of TANGEDCO.
4. On the completion of the investigation, the investigating officer filed a final report under Section 173(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure 19733 on 27 July 2011 against the respondent and the co-accused under Sections 7, 12 and 13(2) read with Section 13(1)(d) of the PC Act. During the trial in CC No. 9 of 2011, the prosecution examined witnesses PW-1 to PW-12, and through them marked Exhibits P-1 to P-11 and MO-1 to MO-10.
5. Insofar as it is material for this matter, it is necessary to note that PW-1, the Chairman of TANGEDCO, was examined in-Chief on 6 June 2013. PW-1 was cross-examined by the respondent on 18 March 2014, and was re-called on 17 July 2014 at the behest of the co-accused for further cross-examination. The examination in-Chief of PW-11, the Deputy Superintendent of Police, was recorded on 1 February 2017. Thereafter, he was cross-examined on 13 February 2017, and subsequently re-called and cross-examined again on 27 February 2017. The evidence from the prosecution's side was closed on 31 October 2017, and the case was posted for final arguments.
6. The arguments on behalf of the prosecution commenced on 7 December 2017. The arguments of the defense commenced on 16 December 2017, and concluded on 16 February 2018. The case was posted for the final submissions of the prosecution on 27 February 2018, and appears to have been adjourned on thirty-three occasions until 26 October 2018. In the meantime, the presiding officer was transferred on 25 June 2018, as a result of which the arguments could not be finally concluded. Even after 26 October 2018, the case was adjourned on thirty-five occasions, following which it was posted on 11 March 2019 for the prosecution to submit its written arguments.
7. However, on 11 February 2019, the prosecution filed Criminal MP Nos 224 and 225 of 2019 under Section 311 of CrPC for recalling PWs 1 and 11, to enable the appellant to mark as an exhibit in evidence, the approval dated 26 June 2011 of the Board of TANGEDCO for sanctioning the prosecution of the respondent and the co-accused. The respondent opposed these applications. The Trial Judge passed an order dated 19 February 2019 by which the applications under Section 311 were dismissed.
8. The prosecution thereafter filed Criminal OP Nos 7694 and 7816 of 2019 under Section 482 of CrPC before the High Court challenging this order. These have been dismissed by the High Court by the impugned order dated 24 June 2019. After noting the earlier evidence of PWs 1 and 11, the High Court held that the applications had been filed by the prosecution belatedly. The appellant has, thus, travelled to this Court.
9. On 9 July 2020, this Court passed the following order, inter alia, condoning the delay and recording the submissions urged on behalf of the appellant:
"1 Delay condoned.
2 Mr. M. Yogesh Kanna, appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that Annexure P-4 to the Special Leave Petition, which is the order of sanction dated 28 June 2011, has been marked as Exhibit P-1 in the trial. Referring to the contents of the order of sanction, learned counsel submits that there is a reference in the order to the fact that the appointing authority is the Board and that the papers for grant of sanction had been placed before the Board.
Learned counsel submitted that the prosecution only seeks to mark as an exhibit the proceedings which took place before the Board.
3 Issue notice, returnable in six weeks.
4 Dasti, in addition, is permitted.
5 In the meantime, for a period of eight weeks from today, there shall be a stay of the further proceedings in the pending trial, namely, CC No 9 of 2011, pending before the Special Judge, Special Court for the Cases under Prevention of Corruption Act at Chennai."
10. In pursuance of the order issuing notice, Mr. Senthil Jagadeesan, learned counsel, has entered appearance on behalf of the respondent and has filed a counteraffidavit.
11. Mr. M. Yogesh Kanna, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the appellant, submits that the order of sanction dated 28 June 2011 has already been marked as Exhibit P-1 during the course of the trial. Essentially, the submission of the prosecution is that the purpose of recalling PWs 1 and 11 was to place on the record and mark in evidence a copy of the reference which was made to the Board of TANGEDCO, where the respondent was employed as a Chief Engineer.
Learned counsel submits that having due regard to the ambit of Section 311, the applications ought to have been allowed, particularly in view of the fact that the final arguments could not be concluded in view of the intervening transfer of the judicial officer and the case is still pending. It was further submitted that having regard to the nature and scope of the proceedings which arise out of the provisions of the PC Act, it would be appropriate and in the interests of justice if liberty is granted to the prosecution to place the relevant document pertaining to the approval granted by the Board of TANGEDCO on the record.
12. On the other hand, Mr. Senthil Jagadeesan has drawn the attention of the Court to the depositions of PW-1 and PW-11. Adverting also to the purported Board Minutes at Annexure P-2 (a photocopy of which has been filed at Annexure R-2 of the counter-affidavit), it has been submitted that the document, as a matter of fact, does not have the signatures of the members of the Board. Moreover, it has been urged that PW-1, who is the Chairman of TANGEDCO, during the course of his deposition, submitted that he had granted sanction for the prosecution of the respondent and the co-accused without reference to the Board, and that he was entitled to do so in accordance with the provisions of the PC Act.
13. In our view, having due regard to the nature and ambit of Section 311 of the CrPC, it was appropriate and proper that the applications filed by the prosecution ought to have been allowed. Section 311 provides that any Court may, at any stage of any inquiry, trial or other proceedings under the CrPC, summon any person as a witness, or examine any person in attendance, though not summoned as a witness, or recall and re-examine any person already examined and the Court shall summon and examine or recall and re-examine any such person "if his evidence appears to it to be essential to the just decision of the case". The true test, therefore, is whether it appears to the Court that the evidence of such person who is sought to be recalled is essential to the just decision of the case.
14. In Manju Devi v State of Rajasthan4, a two-Judge bench of this Court noted that an application under Section 311 could not be rejected on the sole ground that the case had been pending for an inordinate amount of time (ten years there). Rather, it noted that "the length/duration of a case cannot displace the basic requirement of ensuring the just decision after taking all the necessary and material evidence on record. In other words, the age of a case, by itself, cannot be decisive of the matter when a prayer is made for examination of a material witness".
Speaking for the Court, Justice Dinesh Maheshwari expounded on the principles underlying Section 311 in the following terms:
"10. It needs hardly any emphasis that the discretionary powers like those under Section 311 CrPC are essentially intended to ensure that every necessary and appropriate measure is taken by the Court to keep the record straight and to clear any ambiguity insofar as the evidence is concerned as also to ensure that no prejudice is caused to anyone.
The principles underlying Section 311 CrPC and amplitude of the powers of the court thereunder have been explained by this Court in several decisions [ Vide Mohanlal Shamji Soni v. Union of India, 1991 Supp (1) SCC 271 : 1991 SCC (Cri) 595; Zahira Habibulla H. Sheikh v. State of Gujarat, (2004) 4 SCC 158 : 2004 SCC (Cri) 999; Mina Lalita Baruwa v. State of Orissa, (2013) 16 SCC 173 : (2014) 6 SCC (Cri) 218; Rajaram Prasad Yadav v. State of Bihar, (2013) 14 SCC 461 : (2014) 4 SCC (Cri) 256 and Natasha Singh v. CBI, (2013) 5 SCC 741 : (2013) 4 SCC (Cri) 828] .
In Natasha Singh v. CBI [Natasha Singh v. CBI, (2013) 5 SCC 741 : (2013) 4 SCC (Cri) 828] , though the application for examination of witnesses was filed by the accused but, on the principles relating to the exercise of powers under Section 311, this Court observed, inter alia, as under: (SCC pp. 746 & 748-49, paras 8 &15)
"8. Section 311 CrPC empowers the court to summon a material witness, or to examine a person present at "any stage" of "any enquiry", or "trial", or "any other proceedings" under CrPC, or to summon any person as a witness, or to recall and re-examine any person who has already been examined if his evidence appears to it, to be essential to the arrival of a just decision of the case . Undoubtedly, CrPC has conferred a very wide discretionary power upon the court in this respect, but such a discretion is to be exercised judiciously and not arbitrarily.
The power of the court in this context is very wide, and in exercise of the same, it may summon any person as a witness at any stage of the trial, or other proceedings. The court is competent to exercise such power even suo motu if no such application has been filed by either of the parties. However, the court must satisfy itself, that it was in fact essential to examine such a witness, or to recall him for further examination in order to arrive at a just decision of the case.
15. The scope and object of the provision is to enable the court to determine the truth and to render a just decision after discovering all relevant facts and obtaining proper proof of such facts, to arrive at a just decision of the case. Power must be exercised judiciously and not capriciously or arbitrarily, as any improper or capricious exercise of such power may lead to undesirable results. An application under Section 311 CrPC must not be allowed only to fill up a lacuna in the case of the prosecution, or of the defence, or to the disadvantage of the accused, or to cause serious prejudice to the defence of the accused, or to give an unfair advantage to the opposite party.
Further, the additional evidence must not be received as a disguise for retrial, or to change the nature of the case against either of the parties. Such a power must be exercised, provided that the evidence that is likely to be tendered by a witness, is germane to the issue involved. An opportunity of rebuttal however, must be given to the other party. The power conferred under Section 311 CrPC must therefore, be invoked by the court only in order to meet the ends of justice, for strong and valid reasons, and the same must be exercised with great caution and circumspection.
The very use of words such as "any court", "at any stage", or "or any enquiry, trial or other proceedings", "any person" and "any such person" clearly spells out that the provisions of this section have been expressed in the widest possible terms, and do not limit the discretion of the court in any way. There is thus no escape if the fresh evidence to be obtained is essential to the just decision of the case. The determinative factor should therefore be, whether the summoning/recalling of the said witness is in fact, essential to the just decision of the case."
(emphasis in original)"
15. In the present case, the prosecution has sought to produce a copy of the relevant document pertaining to the approval granted by the Board of TANGEDCO on the record and to have it marked as an exhibit in the evidence, for which purpose PWs 1 and 11 were sought to be recalled. In its applications, the prosecution noted that these witnesses were required to mark the relevant document, which was crucial for the decision of the case since the respondent had taken a defense that this document had been signed by the Chairman of TANGEDCO without the Board's approval.
In explaining the delay in filing the applications, the prosecution noted that it was due to the transfer of Special Public Prosecutor who was conducting the case. The relevant parts of the prosecution's application are reproduced below:
"It is submitted that the case was conducted by Additional Legal Adviser Tr.T. Panneerselvam and he was transferred as Deputy Director of Prosecution, Kancheepuram District and hence Tr. Pandiarajan, ADLA, HQ, DVAC, Chennai is posted as Special Public Prosecutor for conduction this case.
It is submitted that the Exhibit.Pl, the order of sanction itself shows that the order was issued by the Board. But the defence has taken a stand that the order was not issued by the Board and the same was issued by the Chairman who was not competent person to accord the sanction.
It is submitted that at the time of filing the charge sheet the Investigation Officer has obtained the Approval Order of the Board and not submitted it before this Hon'ble Court.
It is submitted that in support of the contention of the prosecution it is necessary to mark the documents pertaining to the Board of TANGEDCO to satisfy this Hon'ble Court for just decision of the case that the sanction was accorded in accordance with law and rules and regulations stated in the TANGEDCO.
It is submitted that recalling PW1 and PW11 for marking the documents pertaining to the Sanction cannot be termed as lacuna or to fill up the gap. But only to help this Hon'ble Court for arriving just decision of the case."
16, Undoubtedly, we note that the respondent must have an opportunity to cross-examine these witnesses. Hence, we are not expressing any view on the merits of the submissions which were urged on behalf of the respondent by Mr. Senthil Jagadeesan, in regard to the depositions of PWs 1 and 11, since these will have to be evaluated by the learned trial Judge.
However, we are of the view that the rejection of the applications for recall under Section 311 was not in order. We accordingly allow the appeals and set aside the impugned judgment and order of the High Court dated 24 June 2019. The applications filed by the prosecution for recall of PWs 1 and 11 shall accordingly stand allowed. The respondent would also be at liberty to cross-examine these witnesses.
17. Having regard to the pendency of the trial for a long period of time, we order and direct that the trial be completed by 31 July 2021. 18 Pending application, if any, stands disposed of.

Louisiana at UAB
When: Friday, Oct. 23rd 8:00 PM EDT
Where: Legion Field, Birmingham, Ala.
TV/Streaming: CBS Sports Network/Watch CBS Sports Network
This late non-conference game pits to preseason favorites in their respective conferences and both come into this game with one loss. And is a fitting game to be set in historic Legion Field in Birmingham (the last season that UAB will play in this historic venue.
Louisiana from the Sun Belt Conference has an impressive season opening win on its resume at the Big 12's Iowa State but the Ragin' Cajuns are coming off their first loss last week at home to fellow Sun Belt foe Coastal Carolina. The Cajuns other wins this year have been narrow wins over Georgia State and Georgia Southern.
UAB started its season with a bit of a struggle against FCS Central Arkansas and then were blown out by the ACC's Miami. The Blazers though have rebounded from that loss to pick up impressive wins over South Alabama, UTSA, and Western Kentucky.
Historically, these two schools have played six prior times but the last meeting was in 2002. UAB won that most recent game and has won four of the six prior meetings including all three in Birmingham.
Below are the statistical leaders and coaches information for each school:
Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns (3-1, 2-1 SBC)
The Ragin' Cajuns feature a potent four-pronged rushing attack comprised of running backs Elijah Mitchell (249 yards, and four touchdowns), Trey Ragas ( 220, 3), and Chris Smith (141) to go along with QB Levi Lewis (20, 103, 1). Louisiana is averaging 186 rushing yards per game through four games this year.
Lewis in the passing game has not performed to the same level he did in 2019 so far. He threw 3,050 yards with 26 touchdowns and just four interceptions a season ago. Through four games this season, Lewis has thrown for 900 yards and five touchdowns. However, his has already matched his interception total from all of last season and lowered his completion rate by nearly 10%.
The Louisiana defense has been very good against the passing game in giving up under 200 yards threw air this year but has been vulnerable to the running game in giving up almost 200 yards on the ground.
Key Player: QB Levi Lewis
As mentioned, he has dipped a little this year in the passing game and has thrown more interceptions. He will need to avoid the turnovers in this game and take what the defense gives him if the Cajuns are to come away with the road victory.
UAB Blazers (4-1, 2-1 C-USA)
Senior RB Spencer Brown (472 yards, six touchdowns) will lead a UAB ground attack that is averaging 187 yards per game, while freshman RB DeWayne McBride (226, 2) emerged as a very good complementary back last week's victory over WKU.
The big question for the Blazers will be at quarterback. Freshman Bryson Lucero has now started three games for UAB after starter Tyler Johnston was lost to injury in the Miami game. He has made the most of his opportunity as he is 3-0 as UAB's starting quarterback and has thrown for 655 yards,six touchdowns and four interceptions in those three starts. But the Louisiana team will be his biggest test thus far.
The UAB defense have allowed just 4.8 yards per pass attempt so far this season, which ranks as best in the FBS. The defense also does well in getting to the quarterback as it has 15 sacks through five games.
Key Player: RB Spencer Brown
Expect the Louisiana defense to key on the rush given UAB has a freshman quarterback so how well Brown can do in the running game despite this will be the key for the Blazers. He will need to break through on what has been an average at best defense against the running game.
Fearless Prediction:
This game will be tight the whole way I believe and will come down to the game's final possession before being decided. The two defenses will come up with some stops to keep this game moderately scored. But the two offenses will get their share of scores. One fact is that UAB has not been really in any real close games; especially with Lucero. Louisiana pretty much has had all of their games come to the fourth quarter. I think this bodes well for the Cajuns to pull off the mild road upset. Louisiana 27 UAB 24

Netflix recommendationsI keep hearing how Daredevil is really good. Chelsea Peretti has a pretty good Netflix stand up special. Nick Offerman's is ok. Also the UK Office and Louie.
I have a normal bias Sigma with one side not working. I'm not sure if it's a driver or wiring issue, TBH I don't care to find out. I imagine the straight swap SR-Lambda -> Sigma isn't too difficult. The SR-303 driver and cable swap looked like too much of a pain. If anyone is interested send me a PM or email.
Sennheiser HD 800 Redux
deepak replied to The Monkey's topic in HeadphonesI'm a bit surprised how so many headphones just sound tonally dead compared to the ESL63.... actually I don't think I've owned a single headphone that could match them. None of them can match their bass or treble on acoustic instruments or vocals, and it's not even remotely close. I never tended to notice it until I started to pretty much just listen to the ESLs. In constant heavy rotation has been Annie Fischer's Beethoven piano sonatas, if the Quads just had some more lower fundamental richness it would probably sound damn close to that Bosendorfer. If I can get my TAD CD and whatever lower mid (Altec/TAD/Supravox) to match the tone of the mid and bass of the 63 I will be pretty damn happy. I may even have to get a 57 for reference comparison
Sort of pathetic that Ferrari would ban a paying customer from ever buying another LE Ferrari for letting someone use a car the way it was intended. I thought it was usual Top Gear nonsense, like how Corvette comes out with a new car "every few years" (four Vettes in my life time) Turns out it isn't shenanigans, doing some searching I guess this isn't too surprising from the former Yankees of F1.
So what got YOU interested?
deepak replied to Craig Sawyers's topic in Off TopicOne of my friends from high school bought an HD580 and either Mete42 or Pimeta. When he told me how much the amp/hp cost I thought he was genuinely crazy. But he also had a Saab 93 Viggen as a senior so I chalked it up to him being nuts/rich. Driving his car was a hell of a lot better than what that setup sounded like with my teenage angst music. RIP Saab To expand one of his friends told me to get Grados. There was a hifi store in the Manchester mall (maybe Nate/Todd knew it? Cambridge Soundworks possibly? I think this was before the mall had a Best Buy) that let me demo them. I didn't think they sounded amazing either, but for $60 or something I bought them and eventually really liked them. Sort of interesting that he pretty much got me into enjoying driving and hifi. Two damn expensive hobbies. Latest purchase was the most expensive one I've made yet; TD4001 drivers....
Soekris discrete R2R DAC?
deepak replied to UFN's topic in Do It YourselfIt looks like an interesting DAC (output taken directly off the R2R for single ended), I've been following it for a while. There is an issue with the current firmware (this should be updated according to Soren)- there is DC surge when switching sampling rates and two people have fried their speaker drivers. So be sure to manually mute before you do that.

deepak replied to Hopstretch's topic in GoRedwings19's Computer Help HotlineAny suggestions to reduce eye strain with the ipad a2, like a program similar to f.lux (I don't want to jail break to use that)? Dimming the screen helps, but a program that warms the display color would be nice. It's quite convenient to read articles on, so I've been using it a lot these days.

deepak replied to acidbasement's topic in Off TopicThanks very much all.
The key is to get a full set of the sooper expansive (your soundstage will thank you) Still Points. Ya know the ones that cost as much as a Nissan.
Jack have you heard them or is "They rock out well, meaning nice midbass thump, at the expense of refinement and resolution" from a reviewer? IMO I would have a hard time with Klipsch weird frequency deviations after having ESL63 so long.

Thanks Doug.
Nickel for big S/E output transformers a bad idea (probably 50%)? I really like Slagle's autoformer, but Electra-Print's website points to it being a poor idea for SET output. Also any reading material about transformers will be welcome. The number of core options is head spinning. From what I have gathered so far M6 M19 grain oriented silicon steel mu-metal amorphous nickel cobalt nanocrystalline (finemet)
Seriously, Stax haven't sorted this out? Or is this a joke that went over my head...
The analog thread.
deepak replied to Hopstretch's topic in Home Source ComponentsI bet it will sound good. Not that it matters any more, but I had a Dynavector 10x4 (old school baby) that came with my Scout and I was not a big fan of it. It was a bit too bright, but who knows it was moving magnet which are sensitive to capacitance loading. And since there was no lazy mans way to add/subtract that with my phono, I sold it.
Big fan here as well, though IMO the number of bad horn designs swamp the number of good ones. Too many places for things to go wrong.
Hank Mobley - Soul Station Compared the Music Matters 33 rpm with the 45 rpm, IMO the 45 rpm is so much better. Just so direct and full of life compared to the 33 which sounds "soft" and limp. If anyone wants to hear needle drop samples I can upload (though it is 16/44). I am pretty surprised since most people are saying the 33 rpm series is generally better than the old 45s.
I think I am going to the get the Mofi vinyl of this. I have a couple of 2-eye pressings that don't play perfectly quiet.

Wanted: Accountants for Large Protest; Organizational Skills and Experience with Anything Slightly Resembling a Expense Reimbursement Policy a Plus
As you may have heard, there is a number of mighty upset people occupying various streets around the country. By reading some of the signs being held by these occupants, it's obvious they're peeved about a number of things. With such a wide range of gripes, the crowds have gotten quite large and since many people sympathize with the protestors, lots of donations are being made by those passing by, usually in the form of cash. This, as any accountant worth their salt knows, can be problematic, as evidenced by this video:
As the protests have grown, so have the donations. And since protests aren't exactly bastions of internal controls, the problem of tracking the money coming in and being spent has become quite a chore. That chore has fallen on one person named Victoria Sobel who is functioning as Occupy Wall Street's "chief treasurer."
There's no indication that Victoria is an accountant and, oddly enough, there doesn't seem to be a lot of ready accountants amongst the occupiers, so the methods currently being used aren't exactly robust. They started housing collections using "a large cooking pot covered in cardboard and duct tape" and gradually moved towards high-tech tools such as "donation buckets" and "a yellow messenger bag." Despite these improvements, this system still needs some work Fortunately for Ms. Sobel, a person with some relevant experience recently turned up:
Then the first consultant, a certified public accountant sympathetic to the cause, came to help. Jo Ann Fleming […], who besides her accounting work has a radio show called Flash Talks Cash, sat down in a red tailgating chair next to three activists volunteering on the Occupy Wall Street finance committee.
Fleming heard a rundown of how the operation is working so far: Most of the money comes in through two donation buckets stationed at the ends of the park, where a steady throng of tourists and commuters is always passing by.
Teams of volunteers are split up into working groups for areas like food, sanitation and medical supplies, then spend the money on communal goods. Anyone who wants to be reimbursed for expenses has to get approval from a finance committee member before making a purchase. If it's less than $100, they'll sign out some cash, with orders to return with the goods and the receipt. If it's more than $100, the purchase is supposed to be approved at a town meeting.
Once again, a CPA to the rescue! But since Ms. Fleming can't quit her day job, she gave the best advice she could to the team on the ground:
After some probing, accountant Fleming determined the group needs to come up with a clear policy on how to get reimbursed for expenses. She suggested more frequent collection of the donation buckets, to avoid the temptation of dipping hands in—"cash is very troublesome." And she urged them to create a spreadsheet tracking how much was received and paid.
More frequent collections. Clear, common sense policies. Spreadsheets. All excellent suggestions. But perhaps most importantly, Ms. Fleming recognizes when someone is doing the job of three people and is on the brink of cracking up (an important instinct in today's accounting firms) so she gave Victoria some advice.
She turned to Sobel: "One woman can't run the show. You're exhausted; I can hear it in your voice. You need to delegate. You're going to get burned out."
Any double-entry experts that have some time on their hands and want to help the cause need to get downtown ASAP.

Hugh Jackman drops his duds for shoe brand RM Williams
Because there's not a lot of work in filmmaking during Covid times, some actors have had to resort to
selling out advertising to make a quick buck.
One such thespian is Hugh Jackman, who not only opted to make an advert during lockdown, but took his full kit off for it in the process.
Jackman currently features in an advertisement for shoe brand RM Williams, fully naked, save for a pair of RM classics, and looking pretty hot.
Fresh from promoting his own product – coffee brand Laughing Man – in a series of adverts, the 51-year-old actor is now offering his services to other brands.
But there's good reason for Jackman to be spruiking RM Williams in particular. He's been a private investor in the company since 2015 and was appointed the brand's first-ever global ambassador in 2019.
The actor goes so far as to have his genitals filmed in the ad, albeit pixelated for the sake of (some) discretion.
Says Jackman in the ad, "My word is my bond; when I say I'm in, I'm all in; and, honestly, it's me who should be paying you."
View the spunky advert, above.

Another day, another dumb story about the current campaign trail.
Yesterday it was the turn of George Osborne, who was unable to answer a simple question despite being asked it 18 times, and today it's the turn of his party leader David Cameron who was heckled by a lone ukulele player as he visited voters in Alnwick in Northumberland.
The busker played a song with the single refrain 'fuck off back to Eton, with all your Eton chums' over and over again whilst Cameron walked past. He didn't seem that phased by it but just continued to smile and tried to ignore it, as is his usual modus operandi. His bodyguard did look really annoyed with the dude though and ran over immediately and started swearing and berating him. I suppose this is the kind of stuff that both of them are used to every day of the campaign trail, just perhaps in not such a unique manner though.
The band played on in the face of oppression though, as is so often the case. It's just a lot more impressive when there's a whole band and not one guy with a high pitched voice and a ukulele.

Terran, the Hungarian roof tiles producer, also present in Romania with a factory at Câmpia Turzii, inaugurated on September 21 a new factory in Pécs, Hungary, dedicated exclusively to the innovative Terran Generon tile system. The Generon solar roof tile is a unique development internationally and is at present the only commercially available solar panel integrated into a roof tile.
This is the sixth factory opened by Terran, a centenary Hungarian group producing roof tiles in its factories in Hungary, Romania, and Slovakia. The inauguration of the new Terran Generon factory in Pécs aims to boost the production of sustainable energy for homes and public buildings throughout the whole region. Since the introduction of the product, the Generon system has provided power to nearly 200 homes and public buildings, which means a total of more than 75,000 built-in modules. According to the plans, this number could reach 100,000 in 2021. The company's forecast estimates that more than 250 building owners will install Generon solar-powered roof tiles during the year.
The new factory in Pécs, which will produce over 200,000 units/year, will also deliver the Generon solar tiles to the Romanian market. "According to our plans, we will officially start sales on the Croatian and Romanian markets from next year. There is a high level of preliminary interest, and the conditions for the product release are set. In addition, since we have had our own concrete roof tile manufacturing unit in Romania since 2018, all other transport, storage and service options are also available", states Szabolcs Tóth, Regional Marketing Director of Terran.
"After nearly a decade and a half of market presence, Terran has been present in Romania with its own production plant in Câmpia Turzii since 2018, which helps and makes supply more flexible. There is continuous development in this market, and we expect further enhancement by the introduction of Generon. Our Generon-compatible products, Zenit and Rundo, are also becoming more and more popular in Romania, besides the wavy Danubia. And according to our surveys, there is also a demand for roofing solutions that utilize aesthetic sustainable energy", states Kocsis Szilveszter, CEO of Terran Romania.
The competitive advantage of Generon tiles over conventional solar panels is both functional and aesthetic. The solar cells are mounted on individual roof tiles in such a special way that their installation and appearance are almost identical to traditional roof tiles, and the original protective function of the roof is still perfectly ensured over the entire surface.
