CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 1301 of 2002 Gangula Mohan Reddy Vs State of Andhra Pradesh
( Justice Dalveer Bhandari , Judge Supreme Court of India and Justice AK Patnaik Judge Supreme Court of India)
6. Learned counsel for the appellant submitted that the conviction of the appellant is totally unsustainable because no ingredients of offence under section 306 of the Code can be made out in the facts and circumstances of this case. It would be profitable to set out section 306 of the Code:
"306. Abetment of suicide – If any person commits suicide, whoever abets the commission of such suicide, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extent to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine."
7. The word suicide in itself is nowhere defined in the Indian Penal Code, however its meaning and import is well known and requires no explanation. `Sui' means `self' and `cide' means `killing', thus implying an act of self-killing. In short a person committing suicide must commit it by himself, irrespective of the means employed by him in achieving his object of killing himself.
8. Suicide by itself is not an offence under either English or Indian criminal law, though at one time it was a felony in England.
10. In our country, while suicide in itself is not an offence, considering that the successful offender is beyond the reach of law, attempt to suicide is an offence under section 309 of IPC.
11. `Abetment' has been defined under section 107 of the Code. We deem it appropriate to reproduce section 107, which reads as under:
"107. Abetment of a thing – A person abets the doing of a thing, who –
First – Instigates any person to do that thing; or
Secondly – Engages with one or more other person or persons in any conspiracy for the doing of that thing, if an act or illegal omission takes places in pursuance of that conspiracy, and in order to the doing of that thing; or
Thirdly – Intentionally aides, by any act or illegal omission, the doing of that thing."
12. Explanation 2 which has been inserted along with section 107 reads as under:
"Explanation 2 – Whoever, either prior to or at the time of the commission of an act, does anything in order to facilitate the commission of that act, and thereby facilitate the commission thereof, is said to aid the doing of that act."
13. Learned counsel for the appellant has placed reliance on a judgment of this Court in Mahendra Singh & Another v. State of M.P. 1995 Supp. (3) SCC 731. In the case of Mahendra Singh, the allegations levelled are as under:-
"My mother-in-law and husband and sister-in-law (husband's elder brother's wife) harassed me. They beat me and abused me. My husband Mahendra wants to marry a second time. He has illicit connections with my sister-in-law. Because of these reasons and being harassed I want to die by burning."
14. The court on aforementioned allegations came to a definite conclusion that by no stretch the ingredients of abetment are attracted on the statement of the deceased. According to the appellant, the conviction of the appellant under section 306 IPC merely on the basis of aforementioned allegation of harassment of the deceased is unsustainable in law.
15. Learned counsel also placed reliance on another judgment of this court in Ramesh Kumar v. State of Chhattisgarh (2001) 9 SCC 618. A three-Judge bench of this court had an occasion to deal with a case of a similar nature. In a dispute between the husband and wife, the appellant husband uttered "you are free to do whatever you wish and go wherever you like".Thereafter, the wife of the appellant Ramesh Kumar committed suicide. The Court paragraph 20 has examined different shades of the meaning of "instigation'. Para 20 reads as under:
"20. Instigation is to goad, urge forward, provoke, incite or encourage to do "an act". To satisfy the requirement of instigation though it is not necessary that actual words must be used to that effect. Or what constitutes instigation must necessarily and specifically be suggestive of the consequence. Yet a reasonable certainty to incite the consequence must be capable of being spelt out. the present one is not a case where the accused had by his acts or omission or by a continued course of conduct created such circumstances that the deceased was left with no other option except to commit suicide in which case an instigation may have been inferred. A word uttered in the fit of anger or emotion without intending the consequences to actually follow cannot be said to be instigation."
16. In State of West Bengal v. Orilal Jaiswal & Another. (1994) 1 SCC 73, this Court has cautioned that the Court should be extremely careful in assessing the facts and circumstances of each case and the evidence adduced in the trail for the purpose of finding whether the cruelty meted out to the victim had in fact induced her to end the life by committing suicide. If it appears to the Court that a victim committing suicide was hypersensitive to ordinary petulance, discord and difference in domestic life quite common to the society to which the victim belonged and such petulance, discord and difference were not expected to induce a similarly circumstanced individual in a given society to commit suicide, the conscience of the Court should not be satisfied for basing a finding that the accused charged of abetting the offence of suicide should be found guilty.
17. The Court in the instant case came to the conclusion that there is no evidence and material available on record wherefrom an inference of the accused-appellant having abetted commission of suicide by Seema may necessarily be drawn.
18. In the instant case, the deceased was undoubtedly hyper sensitive to ordinary petulance, discord and differences which happen in our day-to-day life. Human sensitivity of each individual differs from the other. Different people behave differently in the same situation.
19. This court in Chitresh Kumar Chopra v. State (Govt. of NCT of Delhi) 2009 (11) SCALE 24 had an occasion to deal with this aspect of abetment. The court dealt with the dictionary meaning of the word "instigation" and "goading". The court opined that there should be intention to provoke incite or encourage the doing of an act by the latter. Each person's suicidability pattern is different from the others. Each person has his own idea of self esteem and self respect. Therefore, it is impossible to lay down any straight-jacket formula in dealing with such cases. Each case has to be decided on the basis of its own facts and circumstances.
20. Abetment involves a mental process of instigating a person or intentionally aiding a person in doing of a thing. Without a positive act on the part of the accused to instigate or aid in committing suicide, conviction cannot be sustained.
21. The intention of the Legislature and the ratio of the cases decided by this court is clear that in order to convict a person under section 306 IPC there has to be a clear mens rea to commit the offence. It also requires an active act or direct act which led the deceased to commit suicide seeing no option and this act must have been intended to push the deceased into such a position that he committed suicide.

After Concrete Architecture: Li Juchuan with Professor Thomas Looser
Friday, September 20th, 4:30 – 6PM
New York University, Room: TBA
Special thanks to Department of East Asian Studies at New York University, and the Asian Film and Media Initiative at NYU Tisch School of the Arts for supporting this exhibition program.
SLEEPCENTER is pleased to present Wuhan Club, Juchuan Li's first and solo exhibition in the United States, as a part of the Under the Stones: Cultural Tactics of Place-making research exhibition series.
Wuhan Club is based on the metropolis the artist resides, an old city young in capitalism, embracing unprecedented speed of urban development – as the official slogan has it, "Wuhan, Different Everyday!" Self-identified as "an architect who doesn't build houses," using space as the primary method and medium, and against the aggressive infrastructural expansion and housing privatization, Li constructs.
Yet unlike other provincial clubs in Chinatown, Wuhan Club does not celebrate regional identity. Instead it probes the physical, the symbolic, and the sociological conditions of communal identity. Li often combines the capacity of images to remind us of the mediated present, and the capacity of spaces to summon mediated memories of the past and imaginaries of the future. The exhibition centers on two urban spaces of images: a real estate agency from the present and a video hall (录像厅) from the 1980-90s. In the former, everything other than the price can be manipulated through representation, as housing units are often sold before the completion of construction; and in the latter, imaginations of the outside world were sustained by uneven media literacy and idiosyncratic spectatorship. Finally, Li's works from the 1990s to the recent decade map how we have migrated from bodies in spaces to refugees in images, as he practices intimacy, in solitude and with collectives, and sometimes with a brick – to contrive a measurer, a building block, or a weapon.
Juchuan Li (Shashi, 1964) is an associate professor at Hubei Institute of Fine Arts. He graduated from Wuhan Institute of Urban Construction (now Huazhong University of Science and Technology), and had taught at Wuhan University of Technology and Nanjing University. Since the 1990s, Li's architectural practices have involved various mediums including performance, video, photography, site-specific installation, as well as writing, teaching and curating. He was the founding editor of the independent journal Architecture Bulletin in 2001. Against a real estate developer encroaching public land, he initiated the activist art project "Everyone's East Lake" with Li Yu in 2010.
Selected group exhibitions Li participated include: Demonstration of Video Art '97 China (the Central Academy of Art, 1997); The 1st Liang Sicheng Architecture Biennale (National Art Museum of China, 2001); Unspeakable Happiness: A Selection of Contemporary Art from China (Museo Tamayo Arte Contemporáneo, 2005); Shenzhen Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture (Shenzhen, 2005); China Contemporary, Architecture, Art and Visual Culture (Netherlands Architecture Institute, 2006); Moving Image in China: 1988-2011 (Mingshen Art Museum, 2011); The Second Yinchuan Biennale (Museum of Contemporary Art Yinchuan, 2018).
Under the Stones: Cultural Tactics of Place-making Research Exhibition Series
In the last decade, small-scale, spontaneously formed and artistically informed alternative urban spaces have been breaking simultaneously through different cities in East Asia, and particularly in China. Unlike previous social movements, people gathering at these spaces are not that interested in macro social changes. Instead, they focus on creating new forms of life on a local communal scale, opening up the broad spectrum existing between the squashing of social awareness and heroic acts of dissidence. They also have reconfigured ideas of the public, community and collective, as the information about these physical spaces mostly circulates on digital platforms and within decentered and interpersonal networks.
Research exhibition series Under the Stones is devoted to the changing meanings and aims assigned to the concept of space, and to the spatial practices of artists who participate in but are not defined by collectives (集体). Departing from an examination of the interdependencies between the political and aesthetic strategies of social practice, this series further reflects the friction as well as the affinity between individuals and their collectives, and between the ever-morphing collectives and actual/virtual places. Under the Stone foregrounds the tension between art forms rather than their autonomies, approaching mediums as interventions in the visual, acoustic and linguistic infrastructures of our habitat. The series does not suggest any model for change. Only the clusters of organisms through their practical experimentation will determine when and how the possible becomes real.
In A Thousand Plateau, Deleuze and Guattari maintains that, in contrast to chess – the game of the state in which each piece is ranked with a fixed identity – Go (围棋) is the nonsubjectified assemblage of not intrinsic but situational properties: "it is a question of arraying oneself in an open space, of holding space, of maintaining the possibility of springing up at any point: the movement is not from one point to another, but becomes perpetual, without aim or destination, without departure or arrival." A terminology of Go, "under the stones" (倒脱靴 in Chinese; or ishi-no-shita in Japanese) refers to the moves in a space that just becomes free because some of your own stones are captured. Such dynamics between territorializing and deterritorializing is further staged in the show – situated not in the north-south problems of development, nor the east-west divide of culture.
Starting from fall 2019, research exhibition series Under the Stones: Cultural Tactics of Place-making is expected to expand over 6 exhibitions, alongside with numerous of events, workshops across various form of practices.
SLEEPCENTER荣幸为您呈现,李巨川在美国的首次个展"武汉会馆"。"武汉会馆" 是Under the Stones: Cultural Tactics of Place-making 研究型展览系列的一部分。
古城武汉的资本主义历史并不长,但却迎来了空前的城市发展速率,一如官方口号所说:"武汉,每天不一样!" 李巨川自认是一位"不造房子的建筑师",他以空间作为创作的主要方法与媒介,抵抗激烈的房产私有化与基础设施扩张。
李巨川 1964年生于湖北沙市,现任教于湖北美术学院。他毕业于武汉城市建设学院(现华中科技大学),曾任教于武汉理工大学与南京大学。1990年代起,李巨川以行为、录像、照片、场地装置等形式进行建筑实践,同时进行相关的写作、演讲、教学与展览。2001 年编辑非正式出版物《建筑学简报》。2010年,与武汉艺术家共同发起抗议某地产商在武汉东湖地区进行商业开发的"每个人的东湖"艺术计划。
他参加的主要展览包括: '97中国录像艺术观摩(中央美术学院画廊, 1997); 首届梁思成建筑双年展(中国美术馆, 2001); 难以言喻的快乐:中国当代艺术展(墨西哥塔马约当代艺术博物馆, 2005); 首届深圳城市\建筑双年展(深圳, 2005); 中国当代:建筑, 艺术与视觉文化(荷兰建筑学会, 2006); 中国当代艺术三十年之: 中国影像艺术 1988-2011(民生现代美术馆, 2011); 银川双年展(银川当代美术馆, 2018)。
关于 Under the Stones: Cultural Tactics of Place-making 研究型展览系列
近十几年来,在泛东亚的城市中,自发型的小规模另类/替代性空间不约而同地兴起,在中国尤其突出。与先前的社会活动有所不同的是,聚集在这些空间中的人们并不着眼于宏观层面的社会变化, 而是致力于在局部或社区层面创造新的生命形式,并在"彻底抹除社会意识"和"英雄式的反抗"这两种极端之间打开一个广阔的光谱。这些空间的相关信息,主要在数字平台与去中心化的社交网络中传播,它们的出现也正在改写我们关于公众、群落以及共同体的认知。
Under the Stones: Cultural Tactics of Place-making 研究型展览系列自2019年秋季展开,拟由6个展览,及数个相关的研究项目,放映,座谈和发生等形式组成。

Right answer: Very similar answer to why you want the job, but focus more heavily on why the position and company excite you, rather than why you should excite them.

PT.Taman Wisata Candi Borobudur, Prambanan & Ratu Boko [Persero] is the National Authority Agency responsible for the protection and conservation of the Borobudur Prambanan UNESCO World Culture Heritage and archaeological parks, the preservation of their histories and cultural heritage as well as the development and promotion of the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage sites as leading tourist destinations. The temples are indeed perfect examples of Indonesiaís richness in culture and diversity.
Candi Prambanan or Candi Rara Jonggrang is a 9th-century Hindu temple compound in Central Java, Indonesia, dedicated to the Trimurti, the expression of God as the Creator (Brahma), the Preserver (Vishnu) and the Destroyer (Shiva). The temple compound is located approximately 17 kilometres (11 mi) northeast of the city of Yogyakarta on the boundary between Central Java and Yogyakarta provinces.
The temple compound, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the largest Hindu temple site in Indonesia, and one of the biggest in Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its tall and pointed architecture, typical of Hindu architecture, and by the towering 47-metre-high (154 ft) central building inside a large complex of individual temples.Prambanan attracts many visitors from around the world.
Borobudur, or Barabudur (Indonesian: Candi Borobudur) is a 9th-century Mahayana Buddhist temple in Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia, as well as the world's largest Buddhist temple, and also one of the greatest Buddhist monuments in the world. The temple consists of nine stacked platforms, six square and three circular, topped by a central dome. The temple is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues. The central dome is surrounded by 72 Buddha statues, each seated inside a perforated stupa.
Built in the 9th century during the reign of the Sailendra Dynasty, the temple was designed in Javanese Buddhist architecture, which blends the Indonesian indigenous cult of ancestor worship and the Buddhist concept of attaining Nirvana. The temple also demonstrates the influences of Gupta art that reflects India's influence on the region, yet there are enough indigenous scenes and elements incorporated to make Borobudur uniquely Indonesian. The monument is both a shrine to the Lord Buddha and a place for Buddhist pilgrimage. The journey for pilgrims begins at the base of the monument and follows a path around the monument and ascends to the top through three levels symbolic of Buddhist cosmology: Kāmadhātu (the world of desire), Rupadhatu (the world of forms) and Arupadhatu (the world of formlessness). The monument guides pilgrims through an extensive system of stairways and corridors with 1,460 narrative relief panels on the walls and the balustrades. Borobudur has the largest and most complete ensemble of Buddhist reliefs in the world.
Evidence suggests Borobudur was constructed in the 9th century and abandoned following the 14th-century decline of Hindu kingdoms in Java and the Javanese conversion to Islam. Worldwide knowledge of its existence was sparked in 1814 by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, then the British ruler of Java, who was advised of its location by native Indonesians. Borobudur has since been preserved through several restorations. The largest restoration project was undertaken between 1975 and 1982 by the Indonesian government and UNESCO, following which the monument was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Borobudur is still used for pilgrimage; once a year, Buddhists in Indonesia celebrate Vesak at the monument, and Borobudur is Indonesia's single most visited tourist attraction.
In Indonesian, ancient temples are referred to as candi; thus locals refer to "Borobudur Temple" as Candi Borobudur. The term candi also loosely describes ancient structures, for example gates and baths. The origins of the name Borobudur, however, are unclear,] although the original names of most ancient Indonesian temples are no longer known. The name Borobudur was first written in Sir Thomas Raffles's book on Javan history. Raffles wrote about a monument called Borobudur, but there are no older documents suggesting the same name. The only old Javanese manuscript that hints the monument called Budur as a holy Buddhist sanctuary is Nagarakretagama, written by Mpu Prapanca, a Buddhist scholar of Majapahit court, in 1365.

China, 1200 A.D.
The Song Empire has been invaded by its warlike Jurchen neighbours from the north. Half its territory and its historic capital lie in enemy hands; the peasants toil under the burden of the annual tribute demanded by the victors. Meanwhile, on the Mongolian steppe, a disparate nation of great warriors is about to be united by a warlord whose name will endure for eternity: Genghis Khan.
Guo Jing, son of a murdered Song patriot, grew up with Genghis Khan's army. He is humble, loyal, perhaps not altogether wise, and is fated from birth to one day confront an opponent who is the opposite of him in every way: privileged, cunning and flawlessly trained in the martial arts.
Guided by his faithful shifus, The Seven Heroes of the South, Guo Jing must return to China – to the Garden of the Drunken Immortals in Jiaxing – to fulfil his destiny. But in a divided land riven by war and betrayal, his courage and his loyalties will be tested at every turn.

How to Remove Coffee Stains From Enamel Sinks
Regular cleaning keeps your porcelain enamel sink white and stain-free. Enamel sinks consist of a metal shell that is coated with a hard porcelain layer. Coffee can leave a brown, discoloured ring around the bottom of the sink.
Splashes from pouring out cups or the coffee pot can also leave small spots all over the sink's bowl. Fortunately, enamel is resistant to most permanent stains so you can quickly remove coffee stains with common household chemicals.
Rinse the sink out, washing any dirt or food particles down the drain. Sprinkle baking soda onto the moistened, coffee-stained areas inside the sink.
Scrub the stained areas with a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse and reapply the baking soda. Scrub a second time, removing as much of the stain as possible.
Combine 1 part bleach with 5 parts water. Soak a rag in the bleach solution then lay it over the stained part of the sink. Allow it to soak for 30 seconds.
Wipe the stained area with the rag, removing any remaining coffee stains. Rinse the sink immediately with clear water.
- Rinse out the sink with water after every use to help prevent stains before they occur.
- Do not use harsh abrasives or acidic cleaners on porcelain enamel. These cleaners permanently etch the enamel surface.

Some of the reasons for people in Australia going bankrupt are not having the means to manage their debts and their inability to repay loans to banks or their creditors. Bankruptcy is often misunderstood as something horrible, when actually it is a solution, which will allow you to reduce your debts and enable you to have a new beginning. There are even ways to eliminate and clear all your outstanding debts too, if you should so desire.
Bankruptcies in Australia: Are They On The Rise?
One of the conditions to declaring bankruptcy in Australia is that you must be a resident of that country or running a business in Australia. The term bankruptcy often had a stigma of failure attached to it. In the pre-internet period, it was mainly businesses that went suddenly bankrupt, and it was well known that when a business shuttered their doors unexpectedly, there was a bad smell of "being bankrupt" around the place. Nowadays, the advent of competition among banks and lending institutions has changed the face of lending money. Finalizing deals over the internet and telephone are nothing new, and offers of pre-approved loans even arrive by post. It has been shown statistically that there were around 25,242 bankruptcies in Australia at the end of the financial year of 2007. Of that large number declaring bankruptcy, business-related bankruptcies accounted for around 4,821; the rest that had declaring bankruptcy were ordinary people who had simply miscalculated their ability to repay their creditors.
How Do I Proceed With Declaring Bankruptcy
The term bankruptcy is defined as a legal solution that allows you to reduce your debts and start again with a clean sheet. Some states in Australia even allow you to declare personal bankruptcy. However, depending upon the jurisdiction in which you reside, the procedures for bankruptcy are varied. To file for bankruptcy, you will need to file a petition in the district bankruptcy court. The courts will then make the decision, based on your petition, to extend the repayment time to pay off your debts. In Australia, there are a lot of complicated legal issues involved when declaring bankruptcy, and a legal expert is the best person to help you chart your way through these issues. The usual procedures that are to be followed are as under:
• The Insolvency and Trustee Service Australia branch (ITSA) needs to be informed immediately.
• Filling in the debtor's petitions form.
• Completing the statement of affairs form.
• Sending the completed forms to ITSA.
• The ITSA will have a committee to review your forms.
• The ITSA will appoint a trustee who will assess and collate your assets.
• They will provide you with instructions on how you can best repay your debts.

Q1 investments boom, but jobs remain scarce
Indonesia: Strong investment growth in Indonesia in the first quarter (Q1) failed to translate into greater job generation, as companies sidestepped rising labor costs by investing more in capital-intensive sectors than labor-intensive ones.
Only 260,000 jobs were created on total realized investments that grew by an impressive 15 percent to hit Rp 107 trillion (US$9.3 billion) in the first quarter this year, according to the Investment Coordinating Board's (BKPM) latest statistics.
That was a 40 percent decline from 361,000 jobs created in the first quarter last year, and a far cry from the 430,000 jobs generated in the fourth quarter last year.
"We can now say that investments are now shifting into capital-intensive sectors," BKPM chairman Mahendra Siregar noted.
The National Development Planning Board (Bappenas) targets to push down the unemployment rate to 5.7-5.9 percent by the end of next year, from 6.3 percent at the moment.
But the government might find it more difficult going forward to boost its economic growth amid a downward trend in Indonesia's labor absorption over the past few years.
The 2012 state budget stipulated that every 1 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) should create at least 400,000 jobs. But Bappenas' latest study shows that the economy is currently only able to generate 220,000 jobs for the same level of economic expansion.
The situation is exacerbated by Indonesia's annual GDP growth that sat at a four-year low level of 5.8 percent last year.
Deputy Finance Minister Bambang Brodjonegoro said the shift of investments from labor-intensive to capital intensive sectors was a normal trend occurring across the globe, notably in emerging countries like Indonesia that were moving to an upward economic level.
"However, I acknowledge that our industries are now finding it harder to survive amid competition with other countries in the region that are offering cheaper labor and other incentives," he said recently.
Indonesia, Southeast Asia's largest economy, has seen its competitiveness dwindle in part due to rising labor costs nationwide.
For example, Jakarta, which houses several textile, garment and footwear manufacturers, increased the minimum wage by 11 percent to Rp 2.4 million for this year after a 42 percent increase last year.
In comparison, in the Bekasi municipality, the minimum wage increased 16 percent to Rp 2.44 million this year, following a 43 percent increase from last year's Rp 2.1 million. Meanwhile, Bekasi regency's minimum wage rose 22 percent this year to Rp 2.44 million, whereas it rose 34 percent last year to Rp 2.00 million.
Both Bekasi municipality and regency are home to many mid-sized, capital-intensive industries.
"Given continually higher minimum wages, rigid labor regulations and slow growth in labor productivity, Indonesia's labor is becoming less competitive — thus, investors are switching to capital-intensive projects," noted Fauzi Ichsan, a senior economist with Standard Chartered.
Responding to the issue, Indonesian Employers Association (Apindo) chairman Sofjan Wanandi said he would propose a new wage differentiation scheme to the government in annual tripartite talks involving representatives of workers, employers and the government,
The proposal suggests the government allow different minimum wage schemes for different companies, depending on their wage capacities and business scales.
Sofjan said some companies preferred to expand by buying machines instead of recruiting new workers as they had grown tired of dealing with "noises" voiced by workers, whose wages continued to rise while productivity remained relatively stagnant.

It's silly to commission a ship only to stick to a schedule, even if it's not ready. Zumwalt suffered two engine breakdowns after commissioning. LCS suffered engine breakdown one month after commissioning and mission modules aren't working properly.
Why have Russians taken a lot of time to commission Ivan Gren or Gorshkov?
Russians don't care how late they commission a ship and how big is their navy. It's better to be realistic, rather then idolise planned commission deadlines and 355-ship navy, even if it means keeping old non-modernised Ticonderogas and Arleigh Burkes "in service", even if not operational, so public doesn't get angry and you don't lose the elections.
Russians navy is trended upward since 2000, while US is only dreaming about keeping status quo - world domination. But the world is changing. And it's time to start changing the strategy towards multipolarity, because in the world where combined Russian and Chinese navies are stronger than the US navy and Iran has huge fleet of submarines, the defensive powers are simply to strong to stick to offensive 11-CVN dream of world domination.
Yeah and since then there haven't really been engine problems the issues have been fixed, but hey the russians are immune to those right?. Or is that the logic here something happened, the problem was fixed but hey still use that has an excuse and you guys wonder half the time's things aren't taken seriously.
Yeah the LCS are junk you won't see me deny that.
there is many reasons why they took so long, but honestly, I do not want to drum that beat up again.
You mean the reserve fleet? those aren't considered active.

Plumbing Websites seem to fall under two completely different categories: 1) old school and 2) up-to-date. The website is either outdated with an old style or it's new with a fresh look. If you want more people to visit your website, you should definitely be under the up-to-date category. Let's take a look at the differences:
There are still plumbing websites out there that have not been touched in years. This is a sad case. 🙁 These companies are holding themselves back! They are not only stuck in the wrong decade with old design trends, but they are now dysfunctional as well, missing out on valuable visitors with slow loading sites that don't display well on mobile phones. Furthermore, old school websites are so far down Google rankings it's not funny, I was digging for these bad boys.
Every few years there's a new website trend growing in popularity, pushing older design trends off of the list. These old designs were once popular and many websites used them, until they weren't anymore. This can be bad for business as visitors frown upon the look of the website and move on to one more eye appealing.
An example of this is a late 90's/early 2000's website with boxed information, loud design elements and bad animation. These design trends went out of style just like stone washed jeans and poofy bangs. By using these design trends to market your company, you may be projecting an image of complacency, you don't have enough pride in your business to keep your marketing current. What does that say about your ability to stay current in other aspects of your business? Like new building codes, safety protocol, modern tools or techniques to make you more efficient on the job. Yeah it's not so good.
Smart phones were few and far between when websites were beginning to be a thing. Therefore, a responsive design was not necessary nor created! This slowly grew with the emergence of tablets and smartphones. "As of May 2013, 63% of adult cell owners use their phones to go online," said the Pew Research Center. They also stated that 52% of cell phone owners use their cell phone to send or receive email. A mobile friendly design isn't just nice to have for the viewing enjoyment of your visitors, it's a must!
Google takes into account many variables when generating website list rankings. Variables such as number of views, how it was coded, updates made and your company's social media following all factor into account for Google rankings. HVACWebTrends.com said these old school plumbing "websites do not rank well in Google's organic search results." If you are not ranking well on Google, then people are most likely not seeing your website and you're missing out on valuable opportunities for jobs.
Plumbing websites that fall under this category have updated their website design to incorporate today's trends. They have installed an eye-catching responsive design that ranks well in Google. People spend more time on these websites because they are pleasing to the eyes, easier to read and navigate as well as simple to find!
Large header photographs are the going trend right now. This doesn't mean you can't use the idea, but add a little flare to it. This can simply mean using original photography instead of stock photos. Nothing screams out "fake" more than a stock photo!
Currently, popular designs consist of a simple and clean look with a company specific palette of colors. Red is a popular color in the industry. We also see lots of blue, green, yellow and a variety of other bright friendly colors.
Simplicity is key in today's plumbing website trends. White space is a superb way to create a clean feel to your website. Incorporating white space between sections on a page or around large bodies of text can really open up a website, allowing to easily digest all of the content.
Large fonts can be seen on many different plumbing websites. People do not want to struggle to read text online, they do not have the patience to fight through it. So, don't make them! Make your titles rather large and divvy up your content in a font size hierarchy.
A very popular trend today is a horizontal design. This usually entails large horizontal "sections" divided up on the page. A large header photo comes first most of the time, followed by a short paragraph, products/services, about bio, another large footer image and contact information. This makes it extremely easy to navigate through and find what you are looking for.
Navigation is mainly found on the top of a website. In the past, navigation could be found along the side or at the bottom. However, this did not allow much room for the design of the content because a huge sidebar with the navigation took up a large portion of the page. A horizontal design could never work with the navigation on the left side.
Outdated plumbing websites use a lot of stock photography. So if that is you, get rid of them! Potential customers and clients find it much more valuable to see original photography on a website. They get a better feel of the business or company via the personal photos.
Plumbing tool symbols are another popular design element you can adopt. The best plumbing websites have tool-like symbols associated with every service they offer. Symbols like these can be easy to create from scratch.
Blogging can also be a great way to add a unique touch to your plumbing website. It not only shows you are an expert in your field when you blog about plumbing, but it's a fantastic way to drive traffic to your website. Blogging has become an important tool for marketing, mainly due to the fact that people research online before purchasing.

January 4, 2016
The New Year is all about fresh starts, taking new approaches, making the best of our lives. We are lucky to live in an area that has so many wonderful organizations dedicated to improving our communities. Living Classrooms Foundation is one such group.
A Baltimore-Washington-based nonprofit organization, for more than thirty years Living Classrooms Foundation has been strengthening communities and inspiring young people to achieve their potential through hands-on education, job training, and community service programs. Using urban, natural, and maritime settings as living classrooms, the foundation's programs reach thousands of bright, ambitious children and young adults who are struggling to succeed against terrible odds.
Queen Beez is one such program, encouraging young girls to express themselves through song and dance. During weekly Saturday workshops, groups of 6th grade girls meet with professional female mentors to learn about the environment and leadership. After lunch, the focus of the day shifts to transferring their new knowledge to their communities by writing and filming positive hip-hop videos. The girls become involved in strengthening their communities while at the same time becoming invested in their own self-improvement.
I recently met with Chanree (aka Flow) and Janae (aka LA) after one of their Queen Beez outings. They were very bubbly, talkative, and friendly, and once they stepped in front of the camera, they immediately became models. Their facial expressions and poses changed from silly to mature in a second: you could tell that they both felt comfortable and confident.
Click to see Flow and LA in their Peace & Unity video, produced by the Queen Beez in 2015. (They start singing at 1:00 into the song)
Why do you like Queen Beez?
LA: I love Queen Beez because you don't have to be anyone else for people to like you. You can literally be yourself in everything you do in Queen Beez. That opportunity to express how you feel about something in everyday life is an amazing gift! No one can buy that feeling. It's my heart and soul.
What have you learned from Queen Beez?
LA: I learned that life isn't easy! Even for youth. We learned about domestic violence, stereotypes, even what drugs can do to you. And at a young age, to hear something like that is inspirational.
Why should the program continue?
LA: This program should remain! I wouldn't understand why it would ever close or shut down. It's not just all fun and games, these real life situations are hurting and killing people around the world. And it needs to be known. We NEED to continue spreading good vibes and educate the people who know nothing about what's going on. Or helping the ones who are in these crisis! It would be a TRAGEDY if Queen Beez was to shut down! I would cry and be really hurt.
Has your life changed? Why?
LA: My life changed in multiple ways. Having someone like our mentors, Ms. Monique, Jimmy, Gretchen, Emily, plus more, (they) are like my super Heroes! Without them, without Queen Beez, I would be some normal girl with a regular life. I love being different! I see the world totally different and I have nothing but justice through my eye view of this world and in my heart!
Name three important parts of the program.
LA: 1) Getting the word out, as far as the violence and crime and hurt that's spreading around the world.
2) Experience with new people and being able to perform with them and know them more.
3.) And making sure you're doing the right things to keep each other stable and on track of what our daily mission is and that's to cleanse the world to our best ability.
It was such a pleasure working with these Queen Beez! This shoot will go down as one of the most energetic and fun ever.

Cape Town - Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny admits it feels good to be linked with boyhood club Marseille after a difficult campaign at the Emirates Stadium.
The France international has become a key player for Arsene Wenger's side since his move from Lorient in 2010, the vice-captain leading the first team in the absence of club skipper Per Mertesacker this past season.
The Gunners failed to qualify for the Champions League for the first time under Wenger after they could only muster a fifth-placed finish in the top flight, although they won a record 13th FA Cup title by defeating Premier League champions Chelsea in the final.
L'OM are believed to be interested in bringing Koscielny back to his homeland, and the 31-year-old centre-back has welcomed the rumours as he stopped short of committing his future to the north London giants.
"I have a contract with Arsenal, I even signed an extension last November until 2020. I feel very good over there," he told Telefoot.
"I have always said that I was a Marseille fan when I was younger. When a mythical club like Marseille contact you, it is good.
"But will I sign for them? I have no idea at all."

This fantastic video was recently brought to my attention because of the tubular instruments' similarity to the T-Sticks, though in appearance they are more similar to the UV Stick developed by Leonello Tarabella et al. at the Computer Music Lab of CNUCE/C.N.R. in the 1990's (pdf 102KB)
The 1024 architecture blog describes the new instruments (QC in this context is Apple's Quartz Composer):
We are developping a light-based musical instrument, the neon-guitar…. The light part is controlled via a QC patch, while the audio is currently driven by AULab.
And some background on the creators:
1024 architecture is a company created by Pierre SCHNEIDER and François WUNSCHEL, both co-founders of the EXYZT collective.
1024 architecture focuses on the interaction between body, space, sound, visual, low-tech and hi-tech, art and architecture…
We make audio-visual installations, micro-architecture, urban intervention, performances, exhibitions and others…
I'll try to write a short post on each of the other "stick-like" digital musical instruments I have catalogued.

Manufacturers of excellent quality roof lanterns and aluminium bi-folding doors
Call for a
free quote:01377 310103
Set out the main beam as shown.
Find The brackets and screws shown, 1 bracket and 4 screws required for each corner.
Use a set of grips as shown to hold the corner tight together.
It should now look like this.
Find the following Parts, you will need 2 for each corner.
Screw on the brackets as shown with the self drilling screws provided, then place the plastic parts in the main beam as shown.
Slide them in.
The corner should now look like this, now do the same with all the remaining corners.
Now we prepare the ridge.
Follow the roof drawing provided and bolt the rafters to the ridge at both ends on both sides using the nuts provided with a 13mm spanner.
Using a tressle as shown makes this very easy to do, and it will now look like this.
Carry the ridge to the main beam as shown and place in the correct holes, an extra pair of hands helps.
Use the nuts provided with a 13 mm spanner tighten the nuts on the main beam.
Bolt on the remaining rafters to the ridge in the same way, if your roof lantern has any.
Place the corner rafters in the hole on the main beam.
Place the corner rafter into the correct hole on the aluminium half moon on the end of the ridge.
It should now look like this.
Now bolt on the remainig rafter in the middle of the two corner rafters, if your roof lantern has one.
16 - Please Note: The aluminium packer sits between the rafter and the aluminium half moon as shown, not all roof lanterns require these packers, if yours does it will be on the rafter already.
Final step, check all nuts are tight.
Using a silicone gun and silcone put a good line of sealant around the timber up-stand.
When you lower the roof lantern onto the silicone on the timber up-stand, move the roof lantern around and get it in the best position you can.
19 - Please Note: Your roof lantern is now built and this takes approx 30mins without rushing, and as you can see its not complicated with good instructions and we are only a phone call away for more advise and help if required.
20 - Please Note: When we installed this roof lantern 1 tube of silicone did approx 3.5m, this will help you calculate how many tubes you will need.
Any colour silicone will do, as long as it is good quality. Now Lift the roof lantern onto the timber up-stand.
21 - Please Note: Have a look from below, this helps.
When you are happy screw the roof lantern down to the timber up-stand, drill the flat base of the aluminium main beam with a 4 mm drill and screw down with 3" x 10 wood screws all the way around, approx every 400 mm between screws.
Put on the plastic half moons as show in this image, use nuts provided to hold them in place, no spanner needed, thumb tight will do. Put on the 13 mm nut covers provided.
Put the plastic trim on the bottom of the ridge, this clips on at the sides very easily and can be done with your hands.
The internal fascias shown should be left off until the plaster work has been done. When you do finally put them on, put a fascia corner on both ends of the two smallest lengths and tap them on in the middle of the length only.
Then put on the two longest fascias, take your time they can be a bit awkward to get on.
The plastic trim in the main beam between the rafter that I am pointing to has a double sided tape on top. Pull off the film, on all the peices, then your not trying to do it with glass in your hands.
Installing the glass. All our glass units are toughned and taped, they have no sharp edges.
27 - Please Note: All the glass units have a label on them with a number that matches you roof drawing.
All labels on the glass should be on the inside of the building when installed.
In this image you can see we start by putting the glass closure on the bottom of the glass unit. The drainage holes and drip lip need to be at the same side of the glass has the label.
We have made a short video to help you understand how the glass goes in.
When all the glass is in, the plastic glass closures on the end of the glass should all be in a line all the way around, take a look from above.
Screw on the anti-glass slip kits as shown.
It should now be looking something like this.
28 - Please Note: As you can see they fall short of the end of the rafters by around 10 mm, it will be more on the corner rafters.
This allows room for the kits to be fitted, these stop the glass from sliding down.
Work your way around the roof lantern tapping down the glazing caps, follow the numbers on the drawing provided. Use a rubber mallet go up and down while tapping, keep going up and down until they are all the way down.
The ends of the ridge when the caps are on should look like this.
Cut the foam bungs to fit the hole in the above image.
Fit the foam bung into the hole.
Seal the foam bung to the caps and glass, fill every gap you can see.
Place two lines of silicone across the top cap, before and after the screw holes as show.
Screw the top cap down with the screws and caps provided.
Screw in the ball finials.
Finished Job.
37 - Please Note: The screw holes nearest to the center of the ridge will hit the aluminium, the screws are self drilling.
The outside edge screw holes will hit plastic only, do these first.
The silicone on the top cap will work its way out as you screw down the cap, wipe it off and masking tape across and put a nice neat line of sealant across, there can be no area missed or water will get underneath it.
38 - Please Note: In the middle of the ridge there is a blanking piece that runs the full length of the ridge, from ball to ball, this will arrive on the ridge but you must take it off and bond it on with sealant or it may rattle in the wind.
39 - Please Note: Our customer commented many times, he could not believe how neat the roof system was, how well it looked, and the said quality he got for his money he could not believe.

Drew and the Medicinal Pen, based in Brooklyn. But now, Anna has taken the reins on a new project for which she sings, writes, and plays bass and guitar. Along for the music-making ride, Yet Cut Breath consists of former Medicinal Pen member Missy Liu on violin; engineer/producer John Swartz on cello; man of many bands (like The Kissing Club and The Stevedores) Jake Miller on electric guitar, banjo, and harmonica; and Yahote Kokayi on drums (for the recording). Live shows might reveal slightly varying arrangements depending on the day, but the beauty of Yet Cut Breath is always carried forth by Anna's stand-alone voice.
The band describes themselves as "a collection of acoustic thoughts that take place in the small spaces of morning, inside light fixtures and up against bathroom tiles. Turbulent and tender songwriting driven by cello, violin, guitars and a stormy voice that will leave you a little cut up." No description could be more apt. This seven-track debut, Hinges, showcases Anna's range, with songs that soothe and sadden amidst those that pack a fevered and glistening punch. Emotive songwriting is at the core of completely organic instrumentation, creating a muti-layered album worthy of a spot on any best-of list.
The album opens with "Kindness," for which David Sosnow directed a live music video where the members played their parts in separate sections of an abandoned hospital wing. Here, the violin and cello add a rippling texture to the long waves of Anna's vocals, and the whimsical song moves through carefully plotted moments of neo-classical elation. The strings go strong again at the very start of "Terrified," which is among the punchier tracks. Anna's voice is at its most vigorous layered atop a sweeping cello and subtle cymbals. The song ends with all of the instruments tripping over each other, falling apart until "Gate" tiptoes in. This track, and the finale "Sunday Dark," which was recorded live, are the album's most hushed, and Anna tends to perform them solo during live shows. But smack in the middle of Hinges, we've got the energetic and at times bombastic "Yet Cut;" perhaps the perfect example of the band's soft-to-loud, simple-to-complex dynamism.
"Through my Teeth" begins in a fairly classic folk-rock fashion, but soon expands and spreads its wings, rising again and again. "Tied" might be a personal favorite, as it begins with a slightly less "pretty" coagulation of sound. Once again, Anna's voice commands attention, coming at listeners in an almost restless fashion as the strings and guitar explode and then linger in the song's final fifteen seconds. Comparisons to other bands, especially in Brooklyn, can't even begin to explain the authenticity of Yet Cut Breath.

Hate. Arousing and affirming hate is not a policy.
This past week 45 held a rally at an arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan, a mere 50 minutes from this desk, where for over an hour he roused and affirmed the hate carried by his base base.
The President, our elected officials, and all of us are to work toward helping those who are helpless when it comes to housing, food, health, economic fairness, toward combating climate change, to enhance education, to uphold freedom of loving cultures, to secure everyone's rights and safety, to establish equal pay for equal work, to create fair taxation practices, to work on whatever problem we, our families, and friends are struggling with.
But hate. Hate is not subject to debate.
Kindness can and must withstand it.
"It is only kindness that makes sense anymore." from Naomi Shihab Nye's poem "Kindness"
Last night at practice
when my man slipped by me
for a lay-up, Coach threw down
his clipboard, ran right up into my face,
slapped me behind the head,
and yelled, "What the hell
are you doing? Get in front.
Take a charge. You
on this team or not! How
are we gonna be ready if you
don't play tough defense!"
Some mornings I wake up
wondering about wind sprints,
and tough defense, and running
up the bleachers twenty times.
Two hours every night
at practice I'm the other team.
I've heard it a thousand times: "You're
necessary. You're an integral part.
Without you, we'd never be ready."
But I know I do what you do
when you're never good enough.
Some day I'll come back
and point at that place on the bench.
Some day I'm gonna sit back,
watch t.v., take a vacation
every summer, have a dog,
and never miss a game.
"You get in tonight?" my father asks
when I come in after a game.
I knock the snow from my boots, "No."
"What?" "No." "Close game?"
"No, we lost by twenty-three." I listen
to the empty air, the slow shake
of my father's head, know he's been sitting
with a beer watching one show roll into
another, sneering at the ads and laugh tracks,
waiting for the news, sports, and weather, bed.
I go to the refrigerator, look at the line
of Budweiser cans, take out the milk,
pour a glass, go in with him
to watch the scores.
Sometimes, after practice,
I walk home
and I think about
letting the ball
bounce away. Then
I would sit down,
let my mind open up wider
and wider, so wide
the sky would
come inside,
the stars
would light it all.
Last week, on the bus for school,
my seven year old sister said,
I'm scared the sun will go out.
That's ridiculous. Can't happen, and I
took her hand, looked out the window, up
into the sky, watched snow clouds
cross. But it's fire, she said.
Fire goes out.
Four wind sprints to go.
"Let's see what you have left.
Run. Run like I'm after you.
Run. Run now, or after the next
game, I'll run you till you drop.
Run, god dammit, run."
Once last summer I lay in bed
wondering if somewhere hidden
in my cells was something good enough
that I could do. But
the cells were mute. The days
since then have been the same, even
their names dissolving
like the host upon my tongue.

WOODRIDGE, Illinois – October 19, 2017 – After two powerful earthquakes shook Mexico this past September, killing hundreds and causing mass devastation that affected thousands more, Morey employee Veronica Sparks knew she needed to do something. "Talking with my friends from Mexico one Saturday night, they were telling me how tired they were after a long day helping out some of the people that lost everything after the earthquakes," she recalls. "During the conversation they were telling me how food was getting there but was being dosed to make it last as much as possible and for it to reach more people…They were explaining how people had lost everything, people were sleeping on the streets. At that point the question on my mind was 'How can I help?'"
Sparks, a Quality Auditor in Morey's CAT 10G segment and 7+ year employee, realized that many of the victims' basic needs were being met. But something missing stuck out to her: "Clothes, blankets, food, water…but no mention about shoes. So I asked 'Can I help by sending shoes?' Everybody has extra pairs of shoes at home or many pairs they can't use…for any [number of] reasons." Eager to find an avenue for engaging friends and employees in the relief effort without asking them to spend money, she brought the idea to Morey's HR department and COO George Whittier.
The response? "That's a great idea!" The Morey Corporation not only gave their full blessing and support to Veronica's plan, but also offered to cover all shipping costs for transport of the shoes to Mexico. During the following week, Morey employees were encouraged to bring unused pairs of shoes and drop them off in a designated donation area, where they were then sorted and classified. The result? Six-hundred and sixty-three pairs of shoes were donated in just over one week. "As the Mexican saying goes, 'There isn't small help'" says Sparks. "I am sure that giving a pair of shoes to a kid or an elder person [will] bring a smile to their face, which is great for their morale during these difficult times." The shoes were donated to Mexico chapters of the Boy Scouts Association, Rotary Club, and Graduates from CCH, who will oversee their distribution.
Despite the overwhelming support, Sparks knows that the situation in Mexico will not simply disappear after a few weeks. Relief efforts are ongoing, and the effects of the earthquakes will be felt for years to come. "We have to keep in mind there are thousands of families with no place to sleep. Families that lost everything. It is hard for me to say exactly what [they need] because they are in need of everything. The only thing we can't do is forget about them. How? [By] sharing a little of what we have. We don't have to spend a penny, we just have to open our heart and our closet and it's there…a simple way to help." Thanks to Sparks' compassion–and support from The Morey Corporation–her simple idea turned into a huge success. "I feel very proud to work at Morey," says Sparks. "It's a company with big-hearted people."
