Yoga and meditation retreat with a cultural tour in Sri Lanka
Join us for 15 days to let go, appreciate the "here and now"
and let peace and joy guide our tour between sea and mountains.
The trip begins with a 3 days-visit of the country to discover the cultural, touristic and spiritual scene, enjoy the life in the mountains and by the sea, the kindness of Sri Lanka inhabitants and the typical « rice and curry » meal as well as discovering the fauna and flora of Sri Lanka, elephants in sight !
We will then spend two days/nights at Embilipitiya buddhist monastery with Ven. Omalpe Sobhita Thero where we will meet with monks and novices (little monks). We will take part in spiritual activities with the monks including the monthly Poya day celebration on February 11th, 2017, day of the full moon which is a public holiday every month in Sri Lanka.
We will then stop for 7 days for a yoga and meditation retreat in a meditation centre in the mountains south of the island. You will receive teachings of the Buddhist way of life to be happy. You will practice yoga and meditation and use that time to find and replenish yourself. Ven. Omalpe Sobhita Thero, boudhist monk and founder of the meditation center, will be our guide and teacher for that stay.
After the retreat, we will travel to Adam's Peak (Sripada) to discover Sri Lanka from the mountain tops and then, we will go to Kandy, the capital, to give offerings to Buddha at the majestic Buddha's Tooth Temple.
All transportation will be in minibus with air conditioning. We will stay in pleasant and simple hotels. We will eat local meals which are mainly vegetarian.

The larger-than-life evening at the legendary Royal Albert Hall however tops everything the inclined Devin fan has had the chance to witness so far. "Devin Townsend Presents: Ziltoid Live at the Royal Albert Hall" was filmed on April 13th 2015 at the world famous Royal Albert Hall in London, UK, shot with 14 high definition cameras. The show sold out within days of going on-sale. Featuring the entire 'Dark Matters' album from 'Z?', played front to back, plus a 2nd set of the most popular tracks from Devin's career as well as rarely played tracks (picked by the fans through a Facebook poll in advance of the event), this release offers a perfect overview of Devin's work past and present. The show was directed by Paul M Green (Devin Townsend, Opeth, BB King, Steve Hackett) and features special guests such as Dominique Lenore Persi (Stolen Babies), Chris Jericho (world-famous wrestler and singer of US band Fozzy) and Jean Savoie, with video narration by Bill Courage, as well as 12 singers & actors as cast and choir. An extra thumbs up to the audience at this show, who passionately sung along and turned this into a very exciting, unique event in Devin's career. Setlist: 1. Z 2. From Sleep Awake 3.

The Lilac Beast
She wound herself in the stream of air vigorously fighting against it. The wind was stronger and the dragon pressed her wings to her flanks and darted down towards the soil of Tryndria where she had spotted her pitiful prey. She extanded her claws further outward towards the grounds. As she continuosly sped towards the ground the dragon slowly unfolded her wings, and still at a respectable height landed on a vertical wall and perched against the grey marble. After the last fatal seconds Perfyria jumped and stabbed her razor sharp teeth into her victim and tore it apart into pieces, her purple scales shining like diamonds in the setting evening sun.

Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 Receives a New Look for Halloween
The official social media page of Mercedes-Benz USA just released a new picture of the Mercedes-AMG CLA 45, which can be seen above. It came with the caption that said, "With 375 hp on tap, the AMG CLA 45 is a monster in its own right." Then the luxury car maker proceeded to put a "halloween" hashtag on the post. The photo had been obviously enhanced by some environmental lighting and fog effects. However, it sure looked mean with its creepy, red mansion door background. The picture is just ideal for the Halloween. The subject here possesses a gun metal-like finish. It is possible though that it is only the… Continue Reading »

Aco and Momy are two talented cock suckers. It's what they trained for. If there were ever an Olympic level cock sucking event, these two would be the ones fighting for the top two spots. They know all the tricks and just how to get a cock that doesn't want to get hard, stiffer than a board. In Aco's apartment they like to practice on the couch. It offers a good place to sit so the sucker is at a nice height without straining to reach the head of the cock, and at the same time they can move to different positions easily.
Two dudes undress themselves and one of them gets his cock licked. Then, the cock sucker gets his ass plowed.Show more Report

I started my skin lightening journey inJuly and i have gone from an NW55 to an NW47 in mac shades.
I didnt start off with exfoliation but dived right into lightening and then exfoliated about 1 month then quit out of impatience. I have decided to start all over from scratch with exfoliation and this time im not in any rush to see results like i was before. I will also be practicing SAP which is something i didnt do before. I just wanted to share my regime to get opinions on it to see if it is good enough.
Shower with likas.
put on LA lotion(jergens ultra healing+nicatinamide+lactic acid)- gotten from laylas thread.
apply sunscreen to exposed areas.
the same regime without the sunscreen. i am very sensitive to kojie san and have therefore excluded it from my regime.
i however need waysto build my skinas exfoliation leads to skin thinning and i need advice on how i can incorporate RA into this regime and what supplements to take
Here is a pic of me when i was an NW55- myfoundation was also slightly lighter than my skintone.
Here is a pic of me now at NW47:

An Invitation to Health (with 1Pass Instant Access to HealthNow 2007 and InfoTrac) / Edition 12by Dianne Hales
Pub. Date: 04/07/2006
Publisher: Cengage Learning
AN INVITATION TO HEALTH, Twelfth Edition has been a best-selling personal health text for many years, largely due to its ability both to introduce the topics of health and wellness and also to inspire students to put the facts of what makes good health and wellness into practice. The unique approach of Dianne Hales's text revolves around the student focus (i.e. examples students can relate to, contemporary coverage, visual appeal, testing preparation). This text is comprehensive in its coverage and includes the latest research and data on topics students care about, from personal relationships, to eating habits and understanding health risks. Because changing for life is a major theme of this edition, a new "Your Life Coach" section presents practical information on how to make healthful changes. To enhance the critical thinking aspect, case studies have been added in each chapter that will present a personal issue involving making a healthy choice. Also, "You Decide" boxes in each chapter ask a controversial question for student reflection, such as same-sex marriage and legalization of marijuana. They are also linked to Personal Response System "clicker" content and a new online journal. Additionally, with this updated Twelfth Edition, there is the new HealthNow Online assessment and learning tool, including pre- and post-tests, a personalized behavior change plan, and activities to add enjoyment to learning and allow students to explore, experience, and better understand the benefits of healthy living. We also now offer Pedometers, over 500 PowerPoint® slides, new ABC® video clips, and much more. The Twelfth Edition continues to offer the same great content, features,and support materials, and now is taking it even further by emphasizing the importance of behavior change and developing life skills.

Rafa tips Gerrard for top award
LIVERPOOL boss Rafa Benitez believes Steven Gerrard should be named PFA Player of the Year.
But Benitez reckons his inspirational captain is more deserving and warned his rivals that Gerrard can get even better.
"He would be my vote," said Benitez. "If he can continue playing at this level, then why not?
"For me, Stevie is one of the best players in the world. To say one is the best above anyone else is difficult because there are a lot of quality players about, but he is one of the best. That is clear.
"He is more mature, he is still learning and tactically he is improving. He can still play better because he has the potential."

Report summaryThe corner has turned in the current coal market cycle and price and demand recovery are projected for the next two years. Summer cooling demand coupled with higher natural gas prices will spur demand as coal plants run more and displace gas units in some areas. The PRB, in particular will benefit with demand increasing strongly for the balance of the year and into 2017.

online now
internet is working great, but my tv is giving me the "one moment please" issue. could it be a signal issue or has the box taken a holiday for good?
Solved! Go to solution
i should mention i have unplugged the box twice for a good minute or two and checked all connections even though they havent been an issue before. all nice and tight.
It could be the box, but rarely is.
Check that all your F connectors are snug at all points, the back of the box, at the TV outlet, and any splitters. Check the condition of the coax jumpers that they are attached well and not loose, and the center conductor is just sticking out past the end of the connector. Make sure you are not routing your coax cables through any AC surge protector strips.
Otherwise it most likely is an issue outside with loose/corroded/wed fittings, drop cable damage, failing splitters, or upstream into Comcast plant. It could also be an issue with inside wiring and splitters if there has been any recent changes to the inside coxial wiring.
Best thing after checking the fundamentals, is to call Comcast support, they will probably try and send a signal to the box first, then should dispatch a tech out to find and fix the issue.
thank you for your timely response. i will check all connections that i know of, but i think im going to have to call up the CS for this one. nasty day outside and i want to watch some recorded stuff, but noooooo, i cant. lol. of all the days. sorry for the whining.
thanks again. cheers.
I am having the exact same issue with ALL 5 cable boxes and I did the same thing you did with the plugging and unplugging. If that is the case I shouldn't have problems with all my cable boxes.
You should call Comast support and they will need to send out a tech to find and fix your signal issues which is most likely outside.

Hi all. I have been receiving the same ref code for the past day. Techs have tried everything they could over the phone with no success. Tech is coming to the house tomorrow. Where do you all live that are having issues? I live in Newton,Ma
Most of these type of issues are very close to your home within the last 200', more likely between the pole / pedestal and your TV outlets, and can be drop cable damage, loose / corrorded / wet fittings, or inside with splitter and fitting issues.
After trying resetting the box make sure you are not past due on your bill. I noticed when your account reaches a specific dollar amount this ref code will occur.
In my case, scheduled recordings were failing and the recorded channel was giving the S0a00 error... in that scenario it probably means one of the two tuners is blown and a new DVR is needed. Which turned out to be true for me.
Bethao wrote:
Tried it all. Reset, call technicians. Still happens. I thinks it's a cocast issue with the bandwidth and they aren't admitting to it. It happens mostly at night when there is a lot of usage. I wish they would probe me wrong. Still not working.
If you getting S0A00 errors, that means you have signal issues, most likely coming into the house, and only a tech visit can fix it.
If you haven't contacted Comcast support, you need to call it in. If you already have had contact with Comcast support and tech visits out, then post back and it can be escalated.
TV signals are simulcast to everyone at the same time, you can't have bandwidth issues because of too much TV useage, it is impossible.
You can be having signal issues due to a damaged drop cable, loose / corrorded / wet fittings or other issues with the coax cable, splitters, or upstream into Comcast's RF portion of the plant.
Call for a tech to come out.
fios is cheaper than comcast, can you give an example of how fios is more expensive?
This solved post was started in January.
Anyone with similar issues should first contact Comcast support, and if they have had a tech out and still having issues, each start a new post and it can be escalated.

Only did a flying visit last night, had to squeeze in clipping my dogs and watching Chelsea G S on TV.
I had emailed tree surgeons again for more wood chip, as Chinese people wanted some and my new friend Jo, who's plot is next door but one. They had dumped another load off for us, so took a barrow load for my paths, its amazing how quick it breaks down. If I get time over the weekend, I will do the paths properly and put down some barrier cloth.
Wow Lily Pilly, you are very fortunate to have such a lovely space to work on, I hope you enjoy it for many years to come!
Wow Lily Pilly, where is this place?
Hi all, got the rest of the sweetcorn in (doing baby ones too)!! Also planted more strawberries and the courgettes went in as they were getting big Now I am running out of space!!
Had an offer of a load of garden compost, so will try and get that at the weekend if I have time.
Enjoy your weekend
Only just seen this post, congrats for a successful day.,It all looks so beautiful.
I still have loads of seedlings and young plants in mine GG, tomatoes, Aubergines and peppers do well under glass,plus cuttings etc. My greenhouse and poly tunnel are both packed out at the momentGlass Greenhouse is at home, and the poly tunnels at the plot.
You could use a bit of masking tape, and number that instead of ink, if your not sure it will come off I managed to get my frame home in one piece, they kindly delivered it on the back of a trailer, saved us hours of messing about reassembling. Make sure the base you put it on is dead level wherever they end up, and its anchored down, make sure you get the bolts to do that.
Garden Girl, you can never have too many greenhouses.(a bit like shoes!!)
Mmmmmm...Rhubarb vodka, all round to your place then GWRS
Did you get your greenhouse Garden Girl?? Buzzie, you can use nettles for making nettle tea for your plants. I have some brewing at the back of the shed (stinky, but it works well as a fertilizer)
Went up yesterday evening and finished digging the last bit near the paths. Planted all my sweetcorn, its grown already! Chinese people have made a lot of progress in the last few days, 90% of their plot is now cultivated and he has even cut down all the long grass, so looks like I wont be getting any of their space. Never mind!!
Hi All. Only got to see 1st and last of the Chelsea Design programme, it was on at an awkward time for me so will watch on catch up. Had a quick session at the plot last night re potting tomatoes and doing some weeding before rushing back to watch Monty!!
Nice that you have good people to help Stagbeetle.
Garden Girl you could try Freeads on line for a shed or Gumtree. Our sheds were provided by the council but you have to pay £12 a year rent.
Dont know what to think of your predicament Fruitcake, is the shed rented too, can you not ask your allotment officer whats going on?
Glad to hear you got some back up Stagbeetle, who did that lady think she is to park on your plot!!
Did'nt go yesterday evening, too wet. Went for a nice long walk with the dogs instead and picked wild garlic, then went home and watched Chelsea garden design on TV. Some times its nice to have a rest!! (feeling a bit sore too GG)

Learn more about our doctors that treat thyroglossal duct cyst.
In the fetus, the thyroid gland forms at the bottom of the tongue. Early in fetal life it then "migrates" or moves from the bottom of the tongue downward to the base of the neck.
Sometimes as the thyroid migrates, it drags some of the lining of the pharynx. A cyst may form at the base of the thyroid along the route of migration (see illustration). A thyroglossal duct cyst is then produced.
The main risk of a thyroglossal duct cyst is infection. Bacteria from the mouth may cause the cyst to become infected. A thyroglossal cyst usually appears between ages 2 – 10. It is found equally in both girls and boys.
We are grateful to have been ranked #1 on U.S. News & World Report's list of the best children's hospitals in the nation for the third year in a row, an honor we could not have achieved without the patients and families who inspire us to do our very best for them.

Last year we reported that 36 year-old rapper Ludacris (born as Christopher Bridges) was the father to newborn Cai Bella with former girlfriend Tamika Fuller.
Well things are not looking to great for Luda. The judge in the case have sided with Tamika. According to Radar Online, Luda must pay up and take care of her legal bills as well.
As we previously reported, Ludacris was very concerned about his name being tarnished because of the statements released by Fuller. He tried to keep her quiet, but the judge was not having it. Luda's motion to have Fuller found in contempt was denied, and has to pay an extra $2,000 in fees for that too.
Said the judge,
"The Petitioner shall pay the Guardian ad Litem's initial retainer of $7,500.00, to be replenished to the full amount when depleted to $1,500.00.
The Guardian ad Litem shall be billed at a rate of $325.00 per hour. The retainer shall be paid directly to the Guardian ad Litem within 14 days of the entry of this order."
Fuller asked that her attorney fees be taken care of and the Georgia Superior Court of Fulton County ruled in her favor saying,
"Petitioner shall pay to Respondent's counsel, Thirty Five Thousand Dollars ($35,000.00), in addition to any amounts previously awarded or paid, as an award of temporary attorney's fees and expenses of litigation. Said amount shall be paid to Respondent's counsel within 10 days of the date of this order."
Ludacris also has a 12 year-old daughter named Karma from a previous relationship.

Story and Interview by Miwa Sakamoto
I'm from Monterrey, Nuevo León, México.
Love. Met Greg in Mexico City and 8 months after I decided to move to LA. He was living in Topanga at the time but needed more space, so we decided to move near the ocean.
I've been developing a social innovation festival in Oaxaca, Mexico called Catapulta for the last 6 months. I haven´t been able to focus on my art as much as I´d like, but been doing a few murals and brand collaborations.
It is a festival and platform for social innovation to create new ways of doing good in the world that are more effective, collaborative and long lasting. It´s going to be a 4 day event (June 17-20th) that will include: a forum on social innovation, talks, workshops, site visits, marketplace, films, pitch rooms, art, music festival, dinners and parties. (www.catapultafest.org)
My art reflects my spiritual process, and some of my Mexican teachers and native Mexican rituals have inspired and influenced some of my creatures and the message I try to give. More than my culture, I think my art represents my experiences, and that is a mix of various places, people, other art, conversations, etc. Definitely Frida and my artist grandmother were a huge inspiration in my evolvement on this craft when I was young.
Be What You Dream started as a motivation for myself. I realize that I should only put energy into the things I love to do, because it's what is real in me, it's my essence. The Uniwolfcheetah and my other hybrid animals represent the mix of all the talents blooming in ourself, the possibility of mixing it all and becoming a unique and free creature. We should not be afraid of who we are, we gotta embrace it with beauty, consciousness and love.
I never said it was an easy concept to apply, it requires lots of self discovery and presence. I'm on the path and I believe it´ll never end. But more and more, I´m getting to the place where I'm proud of what I focus my time on. Restructuring the concept of who I am in this world, has been challenging since it's not easy to go against what I've built for decades. My motivations and ambitions have changed, and that´s a huge step into being honest with myself and letting go of social concepts that actually where not making me free or happy.
I'm not an expert and I work on it every day, but…. just do it! We shouldn't be scared of following our intuition, when we connect with it, it becomes like a magic power. Life is a weird game and all we gotta do it and try to be as joyful as we can. We really don't know what this is all about, we just have theories of stuff, but a fact is that we are living it, so we better make sure we are doing it the way that resonates better with us trying to bring as much love, peace, connection and compassion as we can.
I think that the internet and social media are amazing when they're are used in an inspiring way. Thanks to these tools the Uniwolfcheetah and the message of #BeWhatYouDream have been able to reach thousands of people.
Nature, love, honest, sexy, fun, yummy, unique, artistic, free, real, dreamy, strong, adventurous...
I love collaborating with nice and fun people that have the same visions as mine. I'm open for magic to happen.
Comfortable, basic, natural and easy. Lately, I've been into jumpsuits.
I definitely would. I actually love working on art in nice clothes.
La Malinche
I can disappear food!

FOOTIE'S Frank Lampard says he wept when Christine Bleakley agreed to marry
Lamps, 33, was asked on Sky 1's A League of Their Own if he welled up when he
proposed to TV presenter Christine, 32 in June.
He admitted: "A little." Then host James Corden pressed him: "So — brimming up
a bit?"
The Chelsea star replied: "Yeah, I was a little bit dewy."
He also said he got his agent to fly to Los Angeles — where the couple were
staying — with the £120,000 ring.
Frank then carried it around for hours before nervously popping the question.
Frank 'N' Jose gel
FRANK Lampard has revealed his first heart-to-heart with Jose Mourinho came
when they were both naked in the shower after training.
Chelsea star Frank blabbed the confession about his former Blues boss while
filming Sky panel show A League Of Their Own.
He told fellow panellists and host James Corden: "Jose came up to me in the
shower to tell me he thought I was a gifted player."
Asked on the TV show who was starkers, Frank said: "We both were". Later he
added: "Jose was very close to his players!"
I'd imagine Frank made himself scarce when his ex-Chelsea team-mate Claude
Makalele showed up – he's got a reputation for his two-footed tackle.

The Extraordinary Adventures of Arsene Lupin, Gentleman-Burglar (original 1907; edition 2012)
by Maurice LeBlanc
Work details
Arsène Lupin, Gentleman-Burglar by Maurice Leblanc (1907)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A rakish anti-Holmes.
Amusing. Good to procrastinate cleaning rooms.
Hello? Is anybody here? Anybody?
Okay so now I'm thinking, what's the point of leaving a review? None, I guess. But then I do have the place all to myself, nice! Man, I'm going back here whenever I need a break. It's so quiet, I almost hate to leave...
The infamous thief Arsene Lupin is a sort of Scarlet Pimpernel crossed with Moriarty. It's a short, fast-paced detective story told from the investigator's perspective. Unfortunately, Lupin's identity is clear very early in the book, and the investigating is of the most rudimentry sort. Eventually we meet Lupin's gang, who I like best of everyone in the book, and the love interest, who I don't like at all.
This was a great read. A funny mystery story where the protagonist is actually the bad guy. I loved the Holmlock Shears joke. Everytime I read that name I laughed out loud.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0143104861, Paperback)The suave adventures of a gentleman rogue—a French Thomas Crown
Created by Maurice LeBlanc during the early twentieth century, Arsène Lupin is a witty confidence man and burglar, the Sherlock Holmes of crime. The poor and innocent have nothing to fear from him; often they profit from his spontaneous generosity. The rich and powerful, and the detective who tries to spoil his fun, however, must beware. They are the target of Arsène's mischief and tomfoolery. A masterful thief, his plans frequently evolve into elaborate capers, a precursor to such cinematic creations as Ocean's Eleven and The Sting. Sparkling with amusing banter, these stories—the best of the Lupin series—are outrageous, melodramatic, and literate.

A weak recovery on the cards
The market closed in the green, but off the highs, as the finance minister clarified there was no cause for concern about the tax residency certificates. A weak recovery is on the cards as the market is trying to form a base. The National Stock Exchange (NSE) recorded a volume of 74.55 crore shares and advance-decline ratio of 688:817.
The market, which plunged over 1.5% yesterday, opened in the positive this morning as investors picked up stocks at lower levels. In the international arena, the US markets ended with minor losses on Thursday as US investors were seen awaiting the outcome of a meeting of policy makers to avoid fresh taxes and spending cuts. A fall in China's factory growth in February led the Asian markets lower in morning trade today.
The Nifty opened nine points up at 5,702 and the Sensex started off at 18,877, a gain of 15 points. Profit booking in early trade pushed the benchmarks into the negative for a short while to touch their intraday lows. At the lows, the Nifty fell to 5,680 and the Sensex went down to 18,821.
However, buying in capital goods, power, metal and consumer durables stocks helped the market recovered from its lows. The market remained in the positive for the remainder of the morning session boosted by a report of an uptick in manufacturing activity in February. The HSBC India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI)—a measure of factory production—stood at 54.2 in February.
A clarification from the finance minister that the status tax residency certificates (TRCs) held by foreign investors remains unchanged from last year, saw the market getting a further boost in post-noon trade. The news resulted in the indices hitting their highs with the Nifty at 5,739 and the Sensex touching 18,989.
The market closed off the highs as investors analysed the budget proposals announced by the finance minister on Thursday. The Nifty settled 27 points (0.47%) higher at 5,720 and the Sensex finished the session at 18,919, a gain of 57 points (0.30%) over its previous close.
The broader indices witnessed a mixed close, as the BSE Mid-cap index gained 0.29% 2.46% while the BSE Small-cap index fell 0.18%

Sixteen of the 30 stocks on the Sensex closed in the positive. The main gainers were Maruti Suzuki (up 4.98%); Jindal Steel and Power (up 2.87%); Bajaj Auto (up 2.63%); Larsen & Toubro (up 2.51%) and Cipla (up 2.40%). The main losers were Bharti Airtel (down 3.89%); Dr Reddy's Laboratories (down 1.44%); ITC down 1.42%); Hero MotoCorp (down 1.30%) and TCS (down 1%).
The top two A Group gainers on the BSE were—Core Education Technologies (up 18.78%) and Suzlon Energy (up 18.07%).
The top two A Group losers on the BSE were—NHPC (down 10.56%) and DLF (down 6.25%).
The top two B Group gainers on the BSE were—MVL Industries (up 19.88%) and Gujarat Themis Biosyn (up 19.87%).
The top two B Group losers on the BSE were—Shri Lakshmi Cotsyn (down 19.97%) and Gennex Laboratories (down 19.17%).
Of the 50 stocks on the Nifty, 29 ended in the green. The key gainers were Maruti Suzuki (up 5.28%); Jaiprakash Associates (up 4.82%); Reliance Infrastructure, BPCL (up 3.51% each) and Power Grid Corporation (up 3.50%). The key losers were DLF (down 5.97%); Bharti Airtel (down 3.44%); IDFC (down 2.18%); Siemens (down 1.79%) and Cairn India (down 1.58%).
Markets across settled mostly in the positive on reports of a fall in Japanese consumer prices fell for the third straight month in January leading to speculations that the country's central bank will initiate new measures to control deflation. Markets in China settled lower on reports of a fall in manufacturing activity last month.
The Jakarta Composite rose 0.33%; the Nikkei 225 gained 0.41%; the Straits Times added 0.05% and the Taiwan Weighted surged 0.84%. On the other hand, The Shanghai Composite fell 0.26%; the Hang Seng dropped 0.33% and the KLSE Composite shed 0.01%. The Seoul Composite was closed for trade today on account of a local holiday.
At the time of writing, the key European indices were trading with losses between 0.31% and 1.16% and the US stock futures were in the negative, indicating a lower opening for US stocks later in the day.
Back home, foreign institutional investors were net sellers of shares of a huge Rs1,317.79 crore on Thursday on account of the finance minister's comments about tax residency certificates held by foreign investors. On the other hand, domestic institutional investors were net buyers of shares totalling Rs 417.94 crore.

The CIC had pulled up the PIO of Board of Management of Bombay Properties of the IISc for denying and blocking information for over two years despite its orders. This is the 50th in a series of important judgements given by former Central Information Commissioner Shailesh Gandhi that can be used or quoted in an RTI application
The Central Information Commission (CIC), while announcing that the Board of Management of Bombay Properties of the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) is a public authority under the Right to Information (RTI) Act, also pulled up the Public Information Officer (PIO) of for not supplying and for blocking the information for over two years.
While giving this important judgement on 15 February 2010, Shailesh Gandhi, the then Central Information Commissioner said, "The Commission deplores the acts of public authorities in unnecessarily wasting public money by delaying supplying information to the public by using public money. The PIO of the Board of Management of the Bombay Properties of the Indian Institute of Science is hereby directed to provide the complete information to the appellant before 5 March 2010."
Mumbai resident Kayumars F Mehta, on 24 September 2007 sought information from the Board of Management of Bombay Properties of the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) about flats owned by the institute in the city, also known as Bombay Property. Here is the information he sought...
a) The names of present tenants since there was a proposal to transfer the flats to the defence forces.
b) Whether Edwart Investment was authorized by IISc to negotiate on its behalf.
c) Whether IISc is a charitable trust and does it fall under charitable commissioner or UGC.
d) Whether permission had been taken to allot flats to the defence forces.
e) The total transaction since the market value of the flats were estimated to be around Rs5 crore.
f) The benefits to IISc in the transfer of the flats.
g) Whether Edwart Investment controls IISc, Bangalore.
h) Act or legislation under which Edwart Investment has control over IISc Bangalore.
i) The person responsible for the loss of revenue.
j) Whether any bids/offers were invited to determine market value of the flats.
k) All the correspondence regarding between IISc and Edwart Investment.
The PIO provided an answer to only query c). He said, "IISc Bangalore is a central autonomous body under the HRD ministry, Government of India. IISc is also a deemed university under UGC."
For all other queries, the PIO replied that "...property named 'Bombay Property' was offered by Late JN Tata to the Government of India to help the government establish IISc, by order dated 27 May 1908 under Charitable Endowments Act. The government then appointed a treasurer. A Board of Management had been constituted to manage the property."
The PIO of IISc on 1 November 2007 forwarded the RTI application to the Board, which replied that it was not covered by the provisions of the RTI Act. The Board said, "Even if it is covered by the provisions of the RTI Act, the information cannot be provided as it is exempt under the provisions of the RTI Act."
Mehta filed three other RTI applications with the PIO of IISc. However, the PIO told him that the information sought was not available with them. Mehta then filed his first appeal before the First Appellate Authority (FAA) of IISc citing denial of information.
In its order, the FAA, stated that "the Board of Management handled matters relating to the Bombay Property. The institute had no authority over such matters. Internal correspondence within the Board of Management was not available with the Institute."
Mehta then approached the CIC with his second appeal. In its order on 18 November 2008, the Commission said, "The Board has replied that they would not give the information without assigning any reasons. From the information provided by the respondent and the appellant, it appears that the Board consists of four members, out of whom two are Government of India nominees and one more member is a nominee of the IISc. If this information is correct, the Board is a public authority and is covered by the provisions of the RTI Act."
Mr Gandhi, the CIC, then asked the PIO of the Board to reply to the RTI application. "If they (the Board) wish to deny the information they will give the reasons for denial as per the provisions of the Act," he said in the order.
On 16 January 2009, Mehta received a letter from the secretary of the Board. The letter explained the constitution of the Board to support the contention that it is not a public authority. It further stated that even if it was assumed that the Board is a public authority, information sought by the complainant was personal in nature and therefore its disclosure would cause unwarranted invasion of privacy.
Mehta then filed two appeals, on 21 February 2009 and 23 March 2009 with the Board against the refusal of information by the Secretary. He was informed that the Board was not a public authority under Section 2(h) of the RTI Act vide letters dated 19 March 2009 and 9 April 2009.
He then again approached the Commission stating that he had not received information from the Board. The Commission registered Mehta's complaint and issued notice to the Board directing them to respond to Mehta's RTI application.
On 29 October 2009, the Commission received a letter, in which the Secretary reiterated that the Board was not a public authority and requested an opportunity for hearing. The Commission then scheduled a hearing on 5 January 2010.
During the hearing, Mehta's counsel submitted that since the Board had not challenged the Commission's order of 18 November 2008, it should comply with it (the order). He also contended that the Board of Management was controlled by the government as out of the four members on the Board of Management three were government nominees.
The advocate on behalf of the PIO claimed that the Commission had passed a quasi-judicial order which could be rectified subsequently.
He stated that "in accordance with Section 4 of the Charitable Endowments Act 1890 (CE Act), a vesting order had been issued by which the Bombay property was donated by JN Tata in early 1904 for the benefit of IISc and it vested with the Treasurer. The Treasurer in accordance with Section 4(4) of the CE Act was not under an obligation to administer the property. Under Section 5 of the CE Act a different body was constituted under a Scheme to administer the property. This Scheme has to be 'settled' by the appropriate government and a notification or order is not issued by the government to constitute the Board. Clause 12 of the Scheme is the part relevant to the present case as it constitutes the Board of Management. The Scheme is not a notification or an order. The Board of Management is not answerable to the Institute."
The Board of Management has four members—the Collector of Mumbai, a resident of Mumbai nominated by the Government of India; one representative of the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust and the Director of the IISc.
The advocate on behalf of the PIO also contended that just because the Board of Management has three nominees of the Government out of four members, it does not mean that the government exercises any form of control. He further contended that control over the trust was different from control over the trustee and that in this case the government did not have any control over the trust.
The PIO submitted that the Commission should only decide on the issue of whether the Board of Management should be considered a public authority and not decide on whether exemptions under Section 8 of the RTI Act apply to the information sought by the complainant (Mehta) in his various RTI applications.
After the hearing, the Commission then reserved its decision.
On 12 January 2010, while announcing its decision, Mr Gandhi, the CIC, said before deciding the issues it was necessary to first look at how the properties that are referred to as "Bombay Properties" and regarding which information has been sought by the complainant came to be vested with the Board.
The Board in its letter dated 16 January 2009 has contended that it is not a "public authority" as defined under section 2(h) of the RTI Act. It has stated in the letter that by a Power of Attorney dated 6 March, 1986 the Treasurer of Charitable Endowments for India had constituted the members of the Board as Constituted Attorneys and hence the members of the Board, which have changed from time to time, are constituted attorneys of the Treasurer of Charitable Endowments.
The vesting order had been substituted by a revised scheme called the "Scheme for the Administration and Management of the Properties and Funds of the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore" (the Scheme) by a notification of the Central Government No8-20164-T.6 dated 22 May 1967.
The said notification clearly states that it is meant to be a revised scheme with effect from 22 May 1967 which has been issued by the Central Government under Section 5 of the CE Act, 1890. It is pertinent to reproduce Section 5 of the CE Act, 1890.
"5. Scheme for the administration of property vested in the Treasurer (1) on application made as hereinafter mentioned, and with the concurrence of the person or persons making the application the appropriate government, if it thinks fit, may settle a scheme for the administration of any property which has been or is to be vested in the Treasurer of Charitable Endowments, and may in such scheme appoint by name or office, a person or persons, not being or including such Treasurer, to administer the property" (emphasis supplied).
The Scheme for the Board of Management has been formulated according to the provisions of Section 5(2) of the CE Act, 1890. Section 5(2) states-
"5 (2) on application made as hereinafter mentioned, and with the concurrence of the person or persons making the application, the appropriate government may, if it thinks fit, modify any scheme settled under this section or substitute another scheme in its stead." (emphasis supplied).
Mr Gandhi said, "The Board has been constituted in pursuance of a Scheme framed by the appropriate government. Thus the contention of the respondent that the members of the Board are the constituted attorneys of the Treasurer of Charitable Endowments cannot be accepted as it is clear that the Board owes its existence to the Scheme notified by the Central Government in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 of the Charitable Endowments Act, 1890."
Section 2(h) of the RTI Act lays down the definition of public authority. The relevant sub-section (d) of section 2(h) is reproduced below:
"'public authority' means any authority or body or institution of self-government established or constituted-
(d) by notification issued or order made by the appropriate Government, and includes any-
(i) body owned, controlled or substantially financed;
(ii) non-Government organization substantially financed, directly or indirectly by funds provided by the appropriate Government"
"In this case the respondent Board has been constituted to look after and manage all immovable properties along with other functions defined in para 12.2 of the Scheme. Therefore the Board, by the fact that it has been constituted through a Scheme which came into effect through a Central Government Notification, is a public authority as defined in Section 2(h)(d) of the RTI Act," the Commission said.
The Board consists of four members; the Collector of Mumbai and one nominee from the IISc, both government officers. The resident of Mumbai is nominated by the government. Therefore three of the four members of the Board owe their positions on the Board due to their nomination by the government.
"Thus it can certainly be stated that the government is in control of the Board of Management through its nominees. The contention of the respondent Board that the members of the Board are constituted attorneys and the government does not exercise any functional control hence cannot be accepted," Mr Gandhi said.
He said, "The Commission comes to the conclusion that the Board is controlled by the government, and thus the Board of Management of Bombay Properties of the IISc is a public authority as defined by Section 2 (h)(i) of the RTI Act."
The Commission, while allowing the complaint, directed the Board to appoint a PIO and FAA before 31 January 2010. The Commission said it would decide the issue of whether information should be provided by the PIO or not on 12 February 2010.
However, on 9 February 2010, the Commission received a letter through fax dated 8 February 2010 from the secretary of the Board. The secretary informed the Commission that the Board had decided to challenge its decision through a writ petition and also requested not to proceed with hearing.
On the same day, the Commission informed the secretary of the Board that as he had not moved a writ petition till that date and there was no stay order issued by a court, the order of the Commission remains in force and has to be complied with. "Non-compliance of the Commission's order which is still in force, may lead to initiation of penalty proceedings in accordance with the RTI Act, 2005. The Commission will hold a hearing on 12 February 2010 and the Commission may pass appropriate orders on that date," the CIC said.
During the hearing, advocate on behalf of the Board, stated that he was not aware that the Board was public authority. He stated that the Board received the Commission's decision only on 18 January 2010. He said he believed that he should be given 100 days to appoint a PIO as per section 5(1) of the RTI Act.
Mr Gandhi said, "The Commission wishes to point out that the Board was a public authority when the RTI Act received the presidential assent. The Board has not acted as per the law and not appointed a PIO though it was a public authority. Hence the Commission cannot accept that every public authority can go around claiming that firstly, they will not act as per the law, and then only after the Commission decides that they are a public authority take a further 100 days to appoint a PIO and FAA."
The advocate stated that the Board did not have an opportunity of asking the Commission to stay its order. He also stated that since the information has not been provided since 2007, the Commission should give the Board enough time to approach courts and no harm could come if further time was allowed to them.
Mr Gandhi said, "The Commission deplores this attitude of delaying matters by using judicial and quasi-judicial processes to prolong decisions. It is revealing that whereas the RTI Act expects information to be provided to the citizens in 30 days, the respondent feels that a delay of nearly 900 days is of no great consequence. Everyone is certainly entitled to use all the remedies available in law, but to use these to delay matters and to claim the right to delay as superior to the fundamental rights of citizens, appears to be making a mockery of the law."
"It was explained to the respondent that he certainly has the remedy of going in a writ to the court but it has to be exercised before the expiry of the time given in the statutory order. It is significant that the respondent does not even appear to have approached a Court so far," the Commission noted.
While announcing its decision on 15 February 2010, Mr Gandhi said, "The Commission has noticed that the RTI application has been filed in 2007 and in spite of a lapse of over two years information has not been provided. Sequentially the information has been blocked first by the IISc saying that the Board was a separate entity and the information was held by it and subsequently by the Board of Management claiming that it was not a public authority."
"From the deposition of the advocate of the respondent it appears that the Board continues its defiance of an order issued by a statutory authority. His plea that the Supreme Court judgement quoted by the Information Commission is an obiter dicta, implies that he does not believe that the time limits given in a legally binding order must be obeyed," it said.
Mr Gandhi said, "This is a very dangerous doctrine since it would imply that all orders given by law may not be obeyed within the time specified if a party wishes to challenge them at any time later. An interpretation of this kind challenges the very fundamental premise on which the rule of law prevails. It seeks to establish a doctrine that the time within which a legally delivered order is implemented is elastic, so long as there is an intention to challenge the order."
Section 7(1) of the Right to Information Act, 2005, states that if information is not provided to the citizen within the time specified under the Act a personal penalty will be imposed on the defaulting public information officer.
"The respondent has given no valid reason for refusing to give his objections, if any, to disclosing the information. The onus to prove that denial of information was justified has been placed on the PIO as per section 19(4) of the RTI Act. However, since the respondent has refused to give any reasons, the Commission has applied its mind to the information sought by the appellant and finds that prima facie none of the exemptions of section 8(1) apply to the information sought by the appellant," the Commission said in its order.
While allowing the appeal, it then directed the PIO of the Board to provide complete information to Mehta before 5 March 2010.

It is unfortunate that the government has taken upon itself to undo and nullify legal precedents by amending the I-T Act that may prove beneficial to foreign investors from tax perspective
The finance minister, in his budget speech on Thursday, stressed on the importance of foreign direct investment (FDI) in India and also acknowledged that the Indian economy is a challenge.
However, whilst there is no denying on these facts, the question is do the actions of the finance minister justify his words? Contrary to lauding FDI as 'imperative' in his speech, the amendments made in Section 90A of the Income Tax Act (I-T Act) may turn out to be retrograde and retroactive.
In the previous budget of 2012-2013 the then finance minister Pranab Mukherjee had given a sizzler to foreign investors by making a retrospective amendment to Section 9 of the I-T Act to nullify the principles laid down by the Vodafone Case1. The retrospective amendment to Section 9 of the I-T Act meant that income from an asset or capital asset shall be deemed to accrue in India if being share or interest, it derives, directly or indirectly, its value substantially from the assets located in India. This amendment not only did become a point of debate worldwide, but also has been, along with other reasons, considered responsible for decline of 43% in FDI inflows for the period April–November 2012 when compared to the corresponding period of the preceding year.
However, the sanctity of the Azadi Bachao Case2 was maintained and treaty benefits to avoid double taxation of the foreign investor. Chapter IX of the I-T Act provided the following relaxations and benefits to a non-resident assessee:
As a result of the chaos created by amendments the I-T Act pertaining to non-residents or provisions affecting non-residents, the Shome Committee was set up to advice the government on implementation of the amended provisions of the I-T Act. Several recommendations were made by the Shome Committee in its final report3, wherein recommendations on Section 9 of the I-T Act, inter alia, included:
Key expectations from the Budget 2013-2014
Considering the havoc created by the previous budget (of 2012-2013), there were high expectations from the Budget to carry out a damage-control as well as provide clarity on various aspects on taxation. Some of the key expectations were:
What happened: The Finance Bill, 2013 failed to do what it sought to do
The Budget Speech gave a prima facie view that the government would make tax provisions favourable to foreign investors so as to encourage foreign investments. However, a look at the fine prints of the Finance Bill, 2013 (Bill) brought back the hard reality of the government, yet again, seeking to nullify Supreme Court decisions that favour foreign investors by amendment of laws.
Silence on Section 9
Where on one hand, no clarification was issued on Section 9 of the I-T Act, thereby maintaining status quo of the provisions, and continuing the endless debate and litigation, on the other hand "un-called for" amendments to Sections 90 and 90A of Chapter IX of the I-T Act, that deals with Double Taxation Relief, have taken away the principles deciding the conclusiveness of treaty benefits which had evolved over the years by the courts of India through strenuous, time consuming, much discussed and deliberated arguments.
Chapter IX amended to nullify Azadi Bachao Case
The amendments to Section 90 and 90A provide for the following:
Ambiguity on applicability of Section 90(5)
While by reasonable implication, it could be said that the provision shall be applicable with effect from the date of the Bill, viz. 1 April 2013, on an extended argument, it could be argued that determination of residential status is something that can be done every assessment year and there is no res judicata as far as residential status is concerned. This would mean that even if some assessee has been treated as resident in previous years, the tax officer can re-agitate the residential status issue in the current assessment year on the strength of the new provisions. It has been consistently held by the courts of India that every statute is prospective unless it is expressly or by necessary implication made to have retrospective operation. However, in case of Thirumalai Chemicals Vs Union of India & Ors.4, the Supreme Court held that in the absence of any express provision, while substantive law always becomes effective prospectively, a procedural law would have a retrospective effect.
Following principles, however, have been set out while determining the extent of the retroactive procedural laws:
GAAR: Rebuttable presumption
Chapter X-A has been replaced by a set of new provisions which, inter alia, provide that a rebuttable presumption shall exist that any arrangement entered into by parties has been entered into to obtain tax benefit. Further, previously the considerations on period of time of arrangement, payment of taxes under the arrangement and exit route (including transfer of any business or activity or operations) was provided under the arrangement were to be taken into account while determining whether arrangement lacks commercial substance, the amendment clarifies that such considerations are only "relevant but not sufficient".
Clearly, not only has the government undone and nullified the principle set out in the Azadi Bachao Case, a tax residency certificate of Mauritius held by a non-resident assessee shall be conclusive to give benefit under the DTAA between India and Mauritius, it has also applied a rebuttable presumption under Chapter X-A that any arrangement entered into by parties has been entered into to obtain tax benefit.
The Government of India, even though has publically acknowledged the unquestionable role played by FDI to boost the India economy, it has continued to make "un-called for" amendments to the I-T Act to further, and yet again, bring within its garb the income of non-residents derived from India. Such amendments not only prove repulsive to the foreign investors but also severely hammer down India as an investor friendly country.
It is left best to the government to justify how the above amendments seek to achieve and encourage FDI in India, which seeks to be 'imperative' in the finance minister's own words, especially considering that no other special benefits have been extended to lure foreign investors into India. It is unfortunate that the government has taken upon itself to undo and nullify legal precedents proving beneficial to foreign investors from tax perspective by amending the I-T Act. Interesting that what could not be fought out in the courts by the government is being carried out by amendment of the I-T Act!

Usher FINALLY Breaks His Silence About Bieber's Videos
(Photo Credit: Getty Images)
According to Complex Magazine, Usher has finally put out a statement in regards to the recent videos that TMZ released of Justin Bieber. In the videos, he is seen telling jokes with a very racist undertone & punch lines.
Everyone was wondering wether or not Usher, Justin's "mentor" would speak publicly. He has recently been preparing for the release of a new album and has finally broken his silence saying,
At my core, I am a person that supports growth and understands without judgment, that growth often comes as a result of pain and continues effort. As I have watched Justin Bieber navigate difficult waters as a young man, I can tell you that he hasn't always chosen the path of his greatest potential, but he is unequivocally not a racist.
What do you think of his statement?? Tell us!

There is a deliciousness in reaching peak light, the longest day! The birds are blossoming into nestlings, new flight. The vegetables and berries are singing a swelling chorus of fleshiness and juice. The Sun itself is so fragrant and rich, we swoon in its fire. Yes, yes, we know this is the moment of letting go, of turning toward the dark, but why spoil the party with all that seriousness?
Consider that the wheel of the year unfolds into many more dimensions than this. That we are not just rolling forward on this one earth plane around the cycle of light and dark. If we move the house of our consciousness built on habit and belief out to the Unknown, so our new home is the whole Universe, amazing things can happen. We discover Radiance everywhere. We begin to see that you and I, all of us, are patterns stored in Light. Suddenly it's obvious the Dark is what we need to contain so much Beauty, to hold our wildly tender open Hearts.

The authors introduce a graphical model (IS/PC/MR) based on the 3-equation New Keynesian model used in modern macroeconomics. The three equations are the IS curve, the Phillips curve, and an interest rate-based monetary policy rule. The use of a common framework throughout for closed and open economies helps students develop the economic intuition with which to address a diversity of macroeconomic problems.

This economic growth is generating a new global landscape where power is shifting and wealth and innovation are bubbling up in unexpected places. It's also producing political confidence and national pride. As these trends continue, the push of globalization will increasingly be joined by the pull of nationalism - a tension that is likely to define the next decades.
With his customary lucidity, insight, and imagination, Zakaria draws on lessons from the two great power shifts of the past 500 years - the rise of the Western world and the rise of the United States - to tell us what we can expect from the third shift, the "rise of the rest".
Washington must begin a serious transformation of global strategy and seek to share power, create coalitions, build legitimacy, and define the global agenda. None of this will be easy for the greatest power the world has ever known - the only power that for so long has really mattered. But all that is changing now. The future we face is the post-American world.
©2008 Fareed Zakaria; (P)2008 Simon and Schuster, Inc.
"A definitive handbook for political and business leaders who want to succeed in a global era." (Walter Isaacson, author of Einstein: His Life and Universe)
"Interesting re culture and history"
A fan of Zakaria on TV and Newsweek, I really expected to like this book, and I wasn't disappointed for the most part.
Offers a cultural and historical perspective on China and India and how they now relate to the world and the US in particular. I was surprised by a section in the middle seemingly designed to boost up wussy American sensibilities and self esteem(the stats that say Americans graduate less engineers than India are wrong! The US is still great at x and y!). But Zakaria moves forward, giving us an interesting comparison to the actions of the US super power of today and how the former super power Imperial Britain lost that rank. The book ends with suggestions on how the US can stop its often hypocritical and dictating foreign policies and perhaps try to stop alienating friendly foreigners and immigrants alike. They are sensible and often boil down to "listen and respect others."
I wonder how he might update his discussions on the world economies after the current economic collapse. He alludes to some potential problems, which of course are more obvious to me given the benefit of hindsight.
I also liked the author's narration.
"Best of the year"
This is a clear and insightful exploration of world politics and economics now, in historical perspective, and well into the future. Several friends thought that this was a US bashing book written by an Islamic sympathizer... which goes to show that you can't judge a book by it's cover! If anything, it is a celebration of the American dream, while offering an understanding of what the future holds for us. A realistic observation by a talented and knowledgeable author. A compelling read (listen)!
"Great & unexpected insights"
I am a few chapters into this book and I am already enjoying it a lot . The book is about the rise in political and economic influence of countries other than the US. It not about the decline of the US's influence, but more about how other countries are approaching a time of equal footing with the US. What I have read so far challenges the mainstream perspective of the world's economy and political stability. He does it in a writing style that is clear, simple, and enjoyable to read.
Clear, concise engrossing discussion about the shift in power that is affecting all of us.
"A Masterpiece of depth and culture"
I rarely enjoy a book as much as I did this one. Zacharia's reason and writing skill are superb, and the research done is also remarkable. Few authors can lay an argument and stay with it with such clarity throughout hundreds of pages. The only other one that comes to mind is Niall Ferguson.
While reasserting his work, I came across Ferguson's latest documentary, "The World Without US", an investigative piece of journalism that debates what would happen shout the US withdraw its military from around the world. I would also recommend it for anyone interested in the future of world affairs.
"Outstanding!! Makes a dry topic fascinating!!"
This book is superb. I found myself fascinated, even though the subject has never been an interest of mine. The author covers the past 25 years of international economic and political change in a way that fills in the blanks and helps make the subject totally accessible. I strongly recommend this book. Every American should read it, especially anyone struggling to come to grips with the challenges we face in the world today. The author has a wonderful reading voice and the production of the piece is extremely good. HIghest recommendation.
Tell us about yourself!
"Good Book"
It was much more analytical than I expected....and much more appreciated when I got into it. Good Job!
"One of the best resourses of Info on Audible"
At first I thought it was a bad idea to have the author read the book, but he settles into it quickly. I think he should have re-read the first chapter, after he finished, he sounds much more comfortable after chapter one.
This is what Political books should be like.
There is no real bias. He states observations, and looks at past and present cultures to give you an idea of where we may be going.
I lot to think about.
I have listened to it twice, and will keep it on my iPod. I found a lot more on the second listen.
if you like this book, get America Alone (it's a good balance to this book. these two books are Like listening to two people debate.). And get The Tower of Babble.
"Zakaria loves America"
Zakaria obviously loves the U.S. This is not an anti american book. I served a long time in the military and I really appreaciate his insights. Great book a must read.
"Fareed has done it again"
Per usual, Zakaria has written a well thought out and insightful book. His outlook from years ago during the previous administrations, directly apply to all which is happening today. I highly recommend this book, along with "defense of a liberal education."
