I have uploaded on SSRN "A Collection of Moot Court Problems on Corporate Law in India". This contains (to begin with) 12 moot court problems that I have worked on (either individually or jointly with others) over the last 8 years or so. More background and details are contained in the preface to the document, which is set out below:
Moot court competitions form an important co-curricular activity in the lives of law students. Apart from equipping students with the skills required to prepare and argue a case before a court or tribunal, it also introduces them to various areas of law and legal issues that are contemporary in nature. By enabling teamwork, it also makes the entire process an enjoyable experience. Moot courts have gradually acquired a great deal of specialization, with competitions focusing on specific legal disciplines such as corporate law, intellectual property, taxation, constitutional law, international law and so on.
Over the last several years, I have been called upon to draft moot court problems based on corporate and commercial laws for internal selections at my alma mater, the National Law School of India University, Bangalore, and on a few occasions for national level corporate law and corporate governance moot court competitions in India (including for the NUJS-Herbert Smith Freehills National Corporate Law Moot Court Competition). Each time, I approach the task with some trepidation as it is usually daunting to draft moot court problems that come closest to real-life situations that are challenging, well-balanced and those that extract the talents of creativity and innovative thinking in young legal minds. But, the process of identifying the relevant legal issues, building suitable facts around them, and constructing controversies that enable a worthy legal battle has been a substantially rewarding experience.
The purpose of posting this collection online is to make the material available more widely to the legal academic community in India. Students may find the legal issues posed by these problems of relevance. Others who wish to steer clear of dense legal issues and rather pursue some general reading may find some of the fact situations emanating from these problems of interest as they narrate the manner in which businesses are formed and managed in India, and seek to capture the circumstances that give rise to souring relationships that result in legal disputes.
The initial collection consists of 12 moot court problems drafted and used for competitions from 2005 to 2013, but the hope is to update this collection on an ongoing basis with newer problems as they are drafted and released.
I wish to acknowledge the contribution of Mr. Ananth Padmanabhan and Mr. V. Niranjan, with whom I collaborated separately on two problems. Needless to add, each of them carried the weight of the relevant problems largely on their own with minimal contribution from me.
A couple of disclaimers are to be noted. First, some of the problems included may not be their final version, and hence may carry some typographical or other minor errors. Moreover, in several cases, clarifications have been issued based on questions from participants, which are not included in this collection. Second, these problems are intended purely to be works of fiction. Any resemblances to real persons, living or dead, or to legal persons (such as companies) or to governments or courts are purely coincidental.
I hope you enjoy reading these!

Lady Indians are conference champs
- Written by Shelia Mader
The Grand Ridge Lady Indians had a vision and a goal at the start of the season – win conference. That vision and goal became a reality last Thursday night as they headed into the championship game after a sound defeat of Chipley to take on the Lady Blue Devils of Bonifay.
Coach Brooke Ferrell handed the ball to Aurlee Perkins with all the confidence in the world in her pitcher. After a shaky first inning with three runs scoring for Bonifay, the hurler settled in to retire 11 of the next 15 batters she faced. After a leadoff hit in the second inning, Perkins retired the next nine batters before allowing a pair of walks. Two strikeouts erased it all as no more runs crossed the plate.
In the first inning, Kiara Garrett led off with a single with Sister Arnold taking one for the team with two outs. A groundout back to the circle left two runners on
In the second inning, with two outs, Perkins helped herself out with a single and moved to second on a single by Katelyn Chumley. Kaylee Grammer drew a walk to load the bases but a groundout ended the inning with the bags full.
Grand Ridge got on the scoreboard in the third inning with two runs scoring on two outs. Georgia Scott singled and moved to second when Taylor Lamphere drew a walk. Singles by Chumley and Perkins scored a pair of runs with Grammer drawing walk. A strikeout ended the frame with the bases loaded.
The Lady Indians added the winning runs in the fourth inning. Taylor-Reese Howell and Najah Dudley had back-to-back singles. Sister Arnold joined the hit parade to score one run, followed by a walk to Scott. Lamphere drove in the final run of the inning on a single.
The defense did their job in the top of the fifth inning to preserve the win and the Lady Indians brought home the hardware.
Their conference season is over but they had one more game scheduled for Tuesday when they were to travel to Marianna to take on the MMS Lady Bullpups.

Obviously, you bought your Q3 Quattro because you knew that you wanted best-in-class service and dependability both impeccably combined into one vehicle. While it's not hard to buy replacement parts for Audi vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the absolute best are required to fix your automobile. You purchased your Q3 Quattro because its sporty handling and European styling appealed to your senses; so why would you be okay with second best when it comes to great quality auto parts? Audi automobile enthusiasts have become used to a certain level of a reputation for performance when driving their Q3 Quattro around town.
Your Audi Q3 Quattro disc brake pads were first imagined and used on race cars as an advanced means for stopping the vehicle. They provide a more effective style of braking through the application of friction than the brake shoes from decades before. You will find your vehicle's brake pads on either side of the rotor placed inside your caliper. When you depress your brake pedal hydraulic pressure is sent to the caliper, and it pinches the disc brake pads onto the surface of the brake disc absorbing its energy. This thermal reaction slows your car or truck down, and eventually brings it to a stop.
Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. Ordering new Audi parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are getting the best deal on the absolute greatest original and aftermarket replacement Q3 Quattro parts on the internet. Given all the trouble that can be involved with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make buying it easy. If your car or truck was built in 2017, 2016, 2015, then you will find the correct Audi Q3 Quattro Disc Brake Pads parts right here.

Welcome to the Sports Trader
Trading eBooks, Daily Trading Advice, and Training from Tony Hargraves (The Badger)
The new In Running Guide
New for January 2017
My In Running Guide to horse racing complete with 15 never before seen, exclusive in running videos!
This book will look at all the angles for making a success of trading the UK racing markets in running, that is during the actual running of the race.
I discovered enough knowledge watching many thousands of races to know when my horse was beaten and I wouldn't be collecting at the end of the race. Now I apply those skills to horses I have not bet on before the race, but nevertheless (in my opinion) no longer have a chance to win, and can be laid during the race.
This is NOT the same as forming an opinion before the race that a certain horse can't win, and laying it and hoping it gets beaten. That is a fast way to the poor house.
We are backing and laying horses on the UK horse racing markets after the race has started.
My 5 original ebooks containing everything you need for your trading journey

Tony Hargraves
My name is Tony Hargraves, better known as "The Badger". I started trading in 2004, after a friend requested I find a way to back all events in a match and win regardless of the result. The resulting search found Betfair and the rest is history — we opened accounts and played with the numbers and now consider it the only way to operate in the sports betting industry.
By 2008 I was trading full time. I was an active member of the forum at RacingTraders, posting videos and advice for users of the BetTrader trading software product. At the suggestion of the owner of RacingTraders, I started teaching via trading courses at various locations around the U.K.
I offer advice on trading and run courses on the subject, check out my Books, Courses and the highlight service, the Daily Trader.

- 2 large jalapeños, halved, 1 seeded
- 1 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 quart light Mexican beer, such as Corona or Pacifico
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 2 pounds trimmed beef top round or bottom round, about 1 1/2 inches thick
- Coarse salt, for sprinkling before drying the meat
Dry the Meat
In a mini food processor, puree the seeded jalapeño along with 1/4 cup of the lime juice. Transfer the puree to a large bowl. Stir in the beer, soy sauce, the unseeded jalapeño and the remaining 3/4 cup of lime juice.
Dry the Meat
Take the beef and cut it into 1/4-inch-thick slices, either with or against the grain.
Dry the Meat
Add the beef to the marinade, a few slices at a time, stirring well to coat each slice with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours.
Dry the Meat
Preheat the oven to 200°. Set a large wire rack on each of 3 large rimmed baking sheets. Remove the beef from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Arrange the beef on the racks, leaving 1/4 inch between slices. Sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake for about 4 hours, until the jerky is firm and almost completely dry, but still chewy. Let cool completely on the racks before serving.

We have stayed at this motel for 15 years when we visit our church friends in Rock Valley and appreciate the fair price of the room. Mina and Rohit are always welcoming and accomodating to any of our needs. We will continue to use this Super 8 in the future. Only comment is the smoke detector is right above the bed and green ligh shines in eyes. Would be better moved in another area of the room. Othersise, good experience.

This episode contains great action and great dialogues. My favorite guest star of the whole series has to be Professor Palmer.
Palmer has a great sense of humor. I love the opening scene of him and the light banter between him and his assistant, Katie. And he takes everything in stride; the way he took out the 'serpent', and is seemingly unfazed when Superman asks for his help.
It also helps that he is voiced by John C. McGinley, who plays Dr. Cox on Scrubs.
There are great character moments for most of the heroes as they try to slow the machines' march toward the nearby towns, and from there, the rest of the world. The JL drew a line and by god, nothing will cross it. It's great to see the heroes use their powers in an all out fight here.
Beside the action, there are numerous little humorous bits sprinkled throughout the episode, as is the standard with this show. I -love- how calm Batman remains as he plunges toward the ground, his voice level as he calls for backup. At the last second, Superman drops by and the Bats resumes the mission as if nothing happened.
Of course, there is a potential crisis here and the seriousness of the situation is not lost. There are a few grim moments (the implication of using -people- as raw material to make more machines is creepy) and some tense scenes as the battle rages on.
Overall, it is a great showcase of our heroes using their skills in tackling this enemy, be it powers or brains, or both, and the characters delivered quite a few good lines. The introduction of The Atom is the highlight for me.

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
I'm sorry to here that Braney is having these issues.
My Basset Hound is constipated What can I give him? To help with constipation, 1-2 T of plain canned pumpkin can be given. If you suspect a bowel obstruction, a vet visit will be needed at once.
I think he has allergies. His nose seems to run when he is sleeping, & he is snorting & sneezing? How can I help him? In dogs, what appears to be allegies is often an infection. He may need 5-7 days of antibiotics as prescribed by your vet. In the event that it is allergies, Benadryl may be needed (consult with vet prior to use; dogs with certain health issues cannot use it).
Barney does not want to go into his crate. To help with this, try to make it a game. Take a KONG stuffed with treats and put it in there. Use plenty of positive reinforcement (priase etc), and try putting him in for short intervals (literaly in and out of a minute or two several times a day, then longer) as it will help him. An alternative is using babygates to divide off a section of the house.
I hope he's doing better with these issues soon.

33 Functional Genomics Functional genomics attempts to make use of the vast wealth of data produced by genomic projects to describe gene (and protein) functions and interactions Unlike genomics and proteomics, functional genomics focuses on the dynamic aspects such as gene transcription, translation, and proteinprotein interactions, as opposed to the static aspects of the genomic information such as DNA sequence or structures
34 Functional Genomics Functional genomics includes function-related aspects of the genome itself such as mutation and polymorphism (such as SNP) analysis measurement of molecular activities (gene/protein expression)
35 DNA Microarrays A DNA microarray is a multiplex technology used in molecular biology and in medicine It consists of an arrayed series of thousands of microscopic spots of DNA oligonucleotides, each containing picomoles of a specific DNA sequence
36 Gene Expression DNA microarrays can be used to measure changes in expression levels or to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) Microarray technology has been very effective in producing large amount of gene expression data by measuring the transcription levels of thousands of genes simultaneously A typical microarray experiment can generate up to millions of data points for analysis

88 Proteomics MAS for Secondary Structure Prediction MASSP3 [Armano06] A Cooperative MultiAgent Learning Approach [Addis07] MAS for Tertiary Structure Prediction X-MACoP [Garro04] An Agent-Based Protein Structure Predictor [Bortolussi07] MAS for classifying 2D gels
89 MASSP3 MASSP3 (MultiAgent Secondary Structure Predictor with Post-Processing) resorts to multiple experts for dealing with the problem of predicting secondary performs an overall processing based on two main steps: a sequence-to-structure prediction, by resorting to a population of hybrid genetic-neural experts a structure-to-structure prediction, by resorting to a feedforward ANN
90 MASSP3 An embedded expert whose activation depends on g(x) Sequence to structure the micro-architecture (based on [Armano04]) x A binary function that selects inputs according to some relevant features g enable h(x) h w A weighting function used to perform output combination w(x)
91 MASSP3 Sequence to structure: Combines the outputs of experts belonging to the match set, so that a suitable voting policy can be enforced on them the macro-architecture Collects all experts whose guards covers the given input, thus forming the match set Creates experts, when needed Forces all experts in the match set to update their fitness according to the reward obtained by the external environment
92 MASSP3 Structure to structure: to improve the prediction accuracy a suitable post-processing is performed by a single MLP fed with the sequence-to-structure prediction expressed in terms of α, β, and c propensions to augment the autocorrelation of the input signal a suitable low-pass filtering is performed by resorting to a suitable gaussian shape
93 A Cooperative MultiAgent Learning Approach to SSP A MAS composed by a population of agents that cooperate and interact in accordance with generic requirements imposed by the adoption of evolutionary computation strategies Training Encoder Handlers Encoder Training Handlers Population2 Population1 Output Manager
94 A Cooperative MultiAgent Learning Approach to SSP GUARD enable EMBEDDED EXPERT S The guard is devoted to split the input space into matching/non matching regions An approach based on activation masks: a mask is a pattern of amino acids that matches with the corresponding input S
95 A Cooperative MultiAgent Learning Approach to SSP GUARD enable EMBEDDED EXPERT The embedded expert plays a central role in the output combination Trained to recognize a specific secondary structure: a label is assigned to each embedded expert a feedforward ANN has been implemented S S
96 A Cooperative MultiAgent Learning Approach to SSP Output combination: all selected experts form the match set M(x) M(x) is partitioned in three separate subsets MH(x), ME(x), and MC(x) several independent predictions made from different experts are expected a weighted majority rule is adopted: the final predicted label is the one that maximizes the corresponding W value
97 X-MACoP X-MACoP (XML Multi-Agent system for the Collaborative Prediction of protein structures) Consists of three kinds of agents User Agent Predictor Agent Coordinator Each agent is characterized by its ontology and its behavior.

zealotscout replied to zealotscout's topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingForgot to mention, before I get a law suit. I've been using some of NeHes code and lazyfoo's code to get my project running. If that helps any way.
zealotscout posted a topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingHello everyone on gamedev, Currently a new programmer to open gl working on a University proyect which revolves around making a short 1min~2min video. My main source of animation is flipping through frames on various sprites sheets via translating gltextcoords and placing them onto a given quad. Everything would be cool and all but i've got a few problems. My video involves a scrolling background, and character walking in place; The scene is simulating the character walking and the background moves accordingly. So... basically I have no idea how I'll get both sprites to move at the same time. Also, I'm using sdl_image with my sprites so I can get some transparencies. Another problem arises is when I shift through frames on a walk cycle. Each frame is printed on screen, then over written by the next but all the past frames are printed. All I want showing is the current frame and not all the others at the same time. I'll post some pics describing my issues. In a nut shell I need help on. 1st.Making a background scroll while at the same time playing a walk cycle of a character in front of it. 2nd. Whilst the character is doing his walk sequence, I need to only display the current frame and not all the rest. This is the code I'm using to create the "animations" the walk cycle void malecycle1() { malewalk = loadTexture("walkcyclefinal.png"); glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D,malewalk); for(float add=0.00;add<1.00;add=add+0.0625) {//glClear( GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT ); glBegin(GL_QUADS); // se comienza el dibujado del quad que contiene la imagen glTexCoord2f( +add, 0 ); // coordenada proporcional a lo que se va mostrar en pantalla glVertex3f( 0 ,144, 0 ); // Bottom-left vertex (corner) glTexCoord2f( 0.0625+add, 0 ); glVertex3f(256 ,144, 0 ); // Bottom-right vertex (corner) glTexCoord2f( 0.0625+add, 1 ); glVertex3f(256 , 400, 0 ); // Top-right vertex (corner) glTexCoord2f( +add, 1 ); glVertex3f( 0 , 400, 0 ); glEnd(); SDL_Delay(100 ); SDL_GL_SwapBuffers(); // glDeleteTextures( 1, &texture3 ); } } scrolling background GLuint texture; // Texture object handle SDL_Surface *surface; // Gives us the information to make the texture // if ( (surface = SDL_LoadBMP("sprite.bmp")) ) { surface = SDL_LoadBMP("background22edit.bmp") ; // Check that the image's width is a power of 2 glGenTextures( 1, &texture ); // Bind the texture object glBindTexture( GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture ); // Set the texture's stretching properties glTexParameteri( GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR ); glTexParameteri( GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_LINEAR ); // Edit the texture object's image data using the information SDL_Surface gives us glTexImage2D( GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, 3, surface->w, surface->h, 0, GL_BGR, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, surface->pixels ); glBindTexture( GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture ); for(float x= 0;x<1.0;x=x+0.025) { glBegin(GL_QUADS); // se comienza el dibujado del quad que contiene la imagen glTexCoord2f( x, 0 ); // coordenada proporcional a lo que se va mostrar en pantalla glVertex3f( 0,0, 0 ); // Bottom-left vertex (corner) glTexCoord2f( .3333+x, 0 ); glVertex3f( 640,0, 0 ); // Bottom-right vertex (corner) glTexCoord2f( .3333+x, 1 ); glVertex3f(640, 480, 0 ); // Top-right vertex (corner) glTexCoord2f( x, 1 ); glVertex3f( 0, 480, 0 ); glEnd(); SDL_Delay(150); SDL_GL_SwapBuffers(); } // glutSwapBuffers(); } Any help will be much appreciated and I hope this wall of text is correctly placed within this forum.

A window into health in California.
« Full episode for
Fri, Aug 27, 2010
Reporter: Sarah Varney
California made history this week when it became the first state in the nation to pass legislation setting up a key component of the federal health reform law.
If signed by Governor Schwarzenegger, the bills would establish a new independent state agency that would bargain with health insurers on behalf of consumers and make it easy to compare coverage plans online. "When there are too many choices that are too hard to compare, generally consumers give up on trying to be thoughtful about it," says Rick Curtis, president of the Institute for Health Policy Solutions, a non-partisan research group.
For comparison, think of the modern American cereal aisle, a testament to the free market and unbridled consumer choice. It seems like the cereal aisle grows taller and longer each week, and that the choices become more infinite, and more confusing.If you're overwhelmed with cereal, try comparing health insurance plans, says Curtis. The federal health insurance law gives states wide latitude in setting up what amounts to online health insurance stores. That latitude has created a debate about how much help states should offer to shoppers. California lawmakers have chosen to set up a new state agency with considerable power to write the rules. Curtis says that although the federal health reform law sets minimum benefits and caps out-of-pocket costs, the California exchange would standardize the products for consumers even more. "It will make it easier for them to compare if it's an apples to apples comparison," said Curtis. "That they don't have to figure out if the plans from Anthem have a $50 higher deductible and a 5 percent lower cost-sharing requirement for ambulatory services, and so how do I compare these things?" Instead, Californians could shop for plans on a website based on cost, service and quality -- knowing that the products they're comparing are essentially identical, according to Curtis and other health policy experts. The bills passed this week would also give the independent board running the exchange broad authority to negotiate the price of the products sold in this new health insurance super-store. It's similar to the negotiating clout large employers have now, when insurance carriers want to earn their business, says Anthony Wright, head of the consumer advocacy group Health Access."That is not a power that individual consumers have," said Wright. "Right now, individuals are left all alone at the mercy of the insurers, but if the exchange can represent the several million Californians who will be getting covered through the exchange they will be able to negotiate a much better deal."Wright and legislative analysts estimate some four million people, including individuals and small businesses, could get coverage through the exchange when it opens in 2014.Not everyone is happy though. Anthem Blue Cross, the largest provider of individual health insurance in California, strongly opposes the power given to the exchange's governing board. The company would not comment, but in a letter to state Senators, warned that consumers could end up with fewer choices. Still, many insurers see a chance to confront rising health care costs, which they say threaten their long-term viability. Mark Weideman is a Vice President with the non-profit carrier Blue Shield of California. He says insurers will have to disclose -- at least somewhat -- how much they're paying for medical care. That information "is going to be very helpful to consumers because I think people would be extremely surprised to realize how much we're paying hospitals, how much we're paying physicians and drug companies," says Weideman.Weideman and some health economists suspect, or perhaps hope, that consumers might choose a lower cost hospital or physician, if they're of equally good quality. That's still a long way off though. The bills determining the future of California's insurance super-store are awaiting action on the Governor's desk.

Session from the Love and Power Retreat featuring Ram Dass, Krishna Das, Jack Kornfield and Friends
Raghu introduces the Love Serve Remember Foundation, and invites KK and Rameshwar Das to elaborate on their first experiences meeting Maharaji and other beloved friends and family in India. Raghu then reads a personal account on behalf of Ram Dass, who recalls personal stories about Maharaji and tuning into powerful moments of clarity and understanding in his presence. At the halfway point of this panel talk, Mirabai Bush delves into the history of her namesake: the "original" Mirabai. Ramesh relates personal accounts of how Maharaji's words of wisdom have helped him maintain equilibrium through times of personal crisis, and Krishna Das remembers having a nervous breakdown in Maharaji's presence. This powerful discussion concludes with a peaceful and all-inclusive Sri Ram Jai Ram chant.
