They were also asked to provide information about STPs and garbage disposal system besides furnishing the status of green belts on the building premises. The case will once again come up for hearing on May 22.
It may be noted that the NGT-appointed expert committee tasked with carrying out fresh demarcation of the Yamuna floodplain zone had earlier given a clean chit to 14 constructions near the river stating that they were out of the river's floodplain purview.
The petitioners had objected to the report and said that the committee overlooked several important aspects including the flood level in 2010 while carrying out the demarcation. Citing a 2011 order of Allahabad High Court, the petitioners had said that any construction within 500 meters of the midstream of river Ganga and Yamuna was prohibited already.
Petitioners' counsel Rahul Chudhary told TOI, "After the defense lawyers requested the court to dispose of the matter of those builders who have been given a clean chit in the expert committee reports, the court directed them to submit all the requisite documents before the bench. The court will see how far their projects are from the floodplain. They will also have to inform the court about the status of STPs and garbage disposal mechanism."

BALTIMORE, MD.—Freddie Gray was a black man whose life — and death — mattered.
Out of the 344 homicides recorded in this city last year, it symbolically mattered most of all: A second-degree "depraved heart" murder, in the almost poetic legal language of Maryland, as the indictment read, meaning extreme or wanton indifference to a person's life. It allows for an individual to be charged with second-degree murder without the prosecution having to prove that death was intended.
On a sunny day in the blighted black northwest neighbourhood of Sandtown-Winchester — Sunday morning coming down — try to talk about the upcoming presidential election with residents and the conversation inevitably curls around to "Freddie."
"What does Donald Trump know about how we live here?" asks Monique Mitchell, hoisting a bag of groceries in one of the few area corner stores that haven't been boarded up or shut down, especially since the fire and fury that followed Gray's death. "Not saying that Hillary Clinton understands it either. But I know Trump don't care.
"If Trump becomes president, there's gonna be more Freddie Grays across this country and more police who think they can get away with it."
The day before, at a rally in North Carolina, the Republican candidate had put his hands together to applaud supporters waving signs that read: Blacks For Trump.
There are no such signs in Sandtown-Winchester, a notorious neighbourhood of derelict housing and chronic violence that had a starring role in the critically acclaimed TV series The Wire. And nobody, from among two dozen people interviewed Sunday by the Star, has any truck with Trump.
A grand jury indicated half a dozen Baltimore cops mere weeks after Gray died in April 2015, never emerging from the coma into which he had fallen while in police custody, while being transported in a police van from the Gilmor Homes projects, following his arrest for … what? Making suspicious eye contact with one of the officers who clocked him early that morning, then running away, being chased, caught, which was when an officer noticed a knife clipped inside Gray's pocket. A spring-assisted knife, violation of a city code, and Gray would have been charged had he not so inconsiderately suffered severe injuries to his neck and spinal column while bouncing around, unsecured, in the back of that van.
Unbuckled, allegedly deliberately, for 11 minutes of erratic driving, then placed in leg irons — motionless at that point, as caught by cellphone video. About 20 minutes later, paramedics were summoned. Despite emergency surgery for three fractured vertebrae, a crushed voice box, his spine 80-per-cent severed from his neck, Gray never regained consciousness.
Riots erupted in the streets of Sandtown-Winchester. The fury was directed at law enforcement, but black-on-black crime spiked in subsequent months as police were fearful of entering the district. Killings across the city skyrocketed, topping 30 or 40 a month, gun violence up more than 75 per cent, upwards of 900 people shot by the time 2015 staggered off the calendar.
More than 90 per cent of the victims were male, men and boys, and more than 90 per cent were black. More than half were between the ages of 18 and 30. Nearly two dozen were children, including toddlers, the innocent collateral damage of urban warfare, struck by bullets intended for others. Fifty-five murders for every 100,000 residents, making it the highest per-capita murder rate in the city's history. Baltimore, Chicago and Washington, D.C., are America's murder capitals.
- Baltimore: Where registered Democrats outnumber Republicans by 2-to-1. They haven't seen much of stumping Trump in these parts, though he did drop into a local diner some months back.
- Baltimore: Where Mary Pickersgill stitched together the original Stars and Stripes (now in the Smithsonian) that inspired Francis Scott Key to write "The Star-Spangled Banner"; now a metropolis of decaying and dying neighbourhoods and dying civilians.
They don't feel disenfranchised necessarily — anticipation about Tuesday's outcome is as keen here as anywhere else in the country — but they do feel abandoned and leery of how much further they'll slide into misery under a Trump administration. The hopefulness that blossomed with the election of a black man into the Oval Office has faded, though few in these projects blame Barack Obama for promises unrealized.
"Honestly, if I had a choice I would vote Obama back in but I can't," says Shewan Owens, 40, sitting on the steps of her projects townhouse. "But I definitely don't want Trump, so Clinton it is.
"Trump is a businessman and I'm not taking that away from him. But I don't like a lot of things that he says, especially about my people, black people, and about Latinos. We all make up the country, all races, colours and creeds. So someone who has that much power needs to love everybody, not just the rich people, not just white America."
Owens has a 26-year-old son who's a musician and training as a mortician — one profession which hasn't seen a downturn in Baltimore. "I fear for him. I worry about him every time he walks out the door, because he's a young black man in America. Even though he's not 'in the streets,' you know? Innocent bystanders get killed, too. It's from our young black men being targeted, not just by police but by each other as well. (I) fear for him."
Owens lives just around the corner from where Gray was chased down by police that fateful day. She witnessed the riots that happened almost on her doorstep.
"It was so unnecessary but at the same time necessary. Unnecessary because of the fires and all the damages, the businesses that are irreplaceable. A lot of our stores have not reopened. But necessary because people finally opened their eyes.''
Across the street, Eric Jones is on his way to the Baltimore Ravens-Pittsburgh Steelers NFL game but halts for a bit of a gab. He's 54, a navy veteran who worked for 12 years as a plumber after his honourable discharge. But he hasn't worked since, he says, after police pounded the crap out of him just a few weeks before the Gray incident, causing a brain injury.
"Mistaken identity, they charged me with possession and intent. But I had no drugs on me. I was getting off work, just walking home."
He was charged with resisting arrest but was acquitted at trial. The drug charges were dropped.
"Trump keeps talking about this New America. Where is that? I live in Old America and in Old America, because of my brain injury, I need health insurance."
It's the most crucial issue of this election, to Jones. "In Trump's New America, he says he's going to get rid of Obamacare right off the top. How is that good for America, putting people off health insurance?"
Obamacare is arguably the greatest achievement of this administration and Trump has vowed to dismantle it, which could return 20 million Americans to the ranks of the uninsured. In Baltimore, about 62,000 people are on Social Security Disability Insurance, Supplemental Security Income or are enrolled in the Temporary Disability Assistance Program.
Denise Walker has lived hereabouts all of her 50 years. She believes the "Freddie riots" galvanized this community. "We are sticking together more than ever."
Her vote is going to Clinton, contemptuous as she is of Trump. "The orangutan — that's what I call him, orange-TAN. He all for himself. Now, Hillary ain't no Godsend either, something real shifty about her. But compared to Trump? There is no comparison.
"Here's something else I can't stand about him. Trump said Hillary had to call in Jay-Z and Beyoncé to help her with the black vote. Well what about him? He called in the Ku Klux Klan!"
On his front stoop, Derrod Ramseur inhales deeply on a joint. He's 28 years old, wonders where his life is going. "I was caught up with a bad crowd when I was younger. Wrong turns man, too many wrong turns. If I knew then what I know now, I'd probably be in college instead of sitting on this stupid stoop."
Out of all the Star interviews Sunday, only Ramseur admitted he won't be voting at all come Tuesday.
"What for? Makes no difference here on Fulton Street. This is my reality."
Postscript: Early this year, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan signed off on a $700-million revitalization program for Baltimore, which will see the city demolish some 4,000 derelict properties, converting them into green spaces for developers to build new homes and businesses.
Six officers were indicted in the death of Freddie Gray on charges ranging from second-degree murder, manslaughter, reckless endangerment, illegal arrest and misconduct. Three were acquitted in court, a mistrial was declared for another due to a deadlocked jury. This past June, all remaining charges were dropped.
Nobody will be held criminally responsible.

I find my self constantly drawn back to the subject of wedding ideas. While it has been acknowledged that it has an important part to play in the development of man, there are just not enough blues songs written about wedding ideas. The juxtapositioning of wedding ideas with fundamental economic, social and political strategic conflict draws criticism from the aristocracy, trapped by their infamous history. With the primary aim of demonstrating my considerable intellect I will now demonstrate the complexity of the many faceted issue that is wedding ideas.

TLC stands for The Learning Channel. This specialty channel is owned by Discovery Communications. It can trace its roots from the Appalachian Community Service Network in 1972 before it became The Learning Channel in 1980. Most of its programs were initially educational in nature. In 2001, however, TLC started to focus more on reality shows involving family life, lifestyles and personal stories.
Here is a list of the top 10 money-making shows of TLC. Most of the shows listed are current, though we have also included a couple of shows that had helped make TLC what it is today. Besides, with the channel's current worldwide reach, these shows are still being broadcasted in other countries. They are also still available for download on iTunes and Amazon, thus raking in even more money for the network.
10 My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding
The show was copied from a British documentary aired on Channel 4 entitled "Big Fat Gypsy Weddings," which explored the lives and traditions of Irish Traveller families as they prepare for a wedding. It also featured Romanichal people, or British gypsies. It was then aired in the United States as "My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding." A spin off was then created that featured American gypsies, mostly from the Romanichal ethnic group. The show aired its debut on April 29, 2012 and has received consistent and decent ratings.
9 Long Island Medium
This reality series features Theresa Caputo, a medium based in Hicksville, New York. It follows her life as she attempts to fulfill her obligations to both clients and her family even as she communicates with people who have already passed away. While her family has accepted her skill and special talent, her line of work may also be putting a strain on their relationship. The series made its debut on September 25, 2011.
8 Extreme Couponing
This is a show that features shoppers involved in an activity that mixes shopping skills with couponing to be able to save as much money while taking home as many groceries as possible. The people featured on the show uses coupons extensively in order to collect large quantities of goods. It debuted in 2010 and the ratings exceeded even the most ambitious estimate of the channel.
7 Breaking Amish
The show features five young Anabaptist adults, including four Amish and one Mennonite, who all made the move to New York. It follows the cast members as they experience the realities of living in the big city. New experiences involving lifestyle, romance, friendship and work, as well as its effects on the relationship of the cast members, are shown. The decision-making process of whether they should stay in New York or return to their respective communities is highlighted.
6 Toddlers & Tiaras
This is another controversial show from TLC. "Toddlers & Tiaras" follows the families of contestants in child beauty pageants. Critics have lambasted the show for making the kids resemble adult counterparts. The show made its debut in 2009.
5 Here Comes Honey Boo Boo
This show has the potential to be the channel's best moneymaking show. It made its debut on August 8, 2012. It has performed extremely well in the ratings, even beating out the broadcast network's coverage of the Republican National Convention. The show is actually a spin-off of another TLC show entitled "Toddlers & Tiaras." It follows the life of the Thompson family, featuring Alana or more popularly known as Honey Boo Boo. Honey Boo Boo is a child beauty pageant contestant from Georgia. The show has been described as exploitative and offensive, but a must see nevertheless.
4 17 Kids and Counting
The key word here is counting. The show made its debut on TLC on September 29, 2008 as "17 Kids and Counting." It was renamed "18 Kids and Counting" in 2009. The following year, it was again renamed to "19 Kids and Counting." It features the Duggar family, namely Jim Bob and Michelle and their 19 children. All their kids have names starting with the letter J. A 20th child was expected in 2012, but Michelle suffered a miscarriage.
3 Cake Boss
The show follows the daily operations of Carlo's Bakery, a family-owned business based in Hoboken in New Jersey. It shows how the cakes are made, as well as the interpersonal relationship among the members and employees of the shop. The show helped dramatically increase tourism in Hoboken. The shop itself has become a tourist attraction with lines forming around the block just to enter the shop. The street was even renamed by Hoboken to "Carlo's Bakery Way."
2 Trading Spaces
This was a reality program that was shown on both TLC and the Discovery Home network. It was based on the format originated by the BBC show entitled "Changing Rooms." The show allows two sets of neighbors to redecorate a room in each other's home for a limited budget and time. It is credited for the nationwide boom in interest in home decorating and improvement shows in the country. It also inspired a couple of books and even a computer software program. One of its carpenters also ended up as the host of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" on ABC. The series ran from 2000 to 2008.
1 Jon & Kate Plus 8
The show features the lives and challenges faced by the Gosselin family, namely the parents Jon and Kate, as well as their eight children, including a sextuplet and fraternal twins. It was originally shown on the Discovery Health Channel before moving to TLC on its third season. It can trace its roots from a couple of one-hour specials entitled "Surviving Sextuplets and Twins" and "Sextuplets and Twins: One Year Later." At its peak, it was beating even the shows on broadcast networks. The couple got a divorce in 2009, and TLC renamed the show to "Kate Plus 8." Jon filed for a cease-and-desist, however. The series was eventually cancelled after airing 148 episodes.

Black House (검은집)Made in: South KoreaLanguage: KoreanDirector: Shin Tae-RaStarring: Hwang Jung-Min, Shin Il-Kang, Yu-Sun, Kim Su-HyungYear: 2007
Synopsis: Jun-Oh (Hwang Jung-Min), a nerdy insurance agent, gets himself caught up with a bizarre serial killer. He suspects one of his clients, a creepy guy named Kim Bae-Chung (Shin Il-Kang), of being a murderous psychopath. It appears as though Kim has killed his own son, declared it a suicide, and is attempting to collect on a $30 million insurance claim.
When Jun-Oh discovers that Kim would get $300 million if his wife Yi-Hwa (Yu-Sun) were to die, the insurance agent believes he knows who the next victim will be. Springing into action to play good samaritan, Jun-Oh soon learns that he is indeed being played...but not in the way that he thinks.
The Good: Adapted from the Japanese story of the same name, Black House is a straightforward thriller/mystery. I won't give it away, but this movie does have a very clever twist.
Well-acted, intense, and intelligent, it offers some pretty solid psychological scares. It moves at a relatively slow, methodical pace, and the meek Jun-Oh makes for an interesting choice for a hero in such a dark story.
The Bad: Although it's not ridiculously gory, Shin Tae-Ra's film does contain some moments that seem to have been inspired by The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Silence of the Lambs, and subsequent movies featuring torture rooms, dismemberment, blah blah blah.
The climactic showdown gets a little too drawn out, and comes off as more than a little ridiculous at the very end. The bloodiness during the final act didn't seem that necessary, and the film could have been just as strong without it.
Who would like this movie: Fans of foreign films and psychological horror movies would appreciate this one. And if you ever wondered what a Korean version of George McFly would do if faced with a psychopath, Black House definitely answers that question.
(3 out of 4 stars)

Node:Autoconf Background, Next:Autoconf Macros, Up:Autoconf Support
As explained elsewhere (see The GNU Autoconf Manual), any package needs configuration at build-time. If your package uses Guile (or uses a package that in turn uses Guile), you probably need to know what specific Guile features are available and details about them.
The way to do this is to write feature tests and arrange for their execution
by the
configure script, typically by adding the tests to
configure.ac, and running
autoconf to create
Users of your package then run
configure in the normal way.
Macros are a way to make common feature tests easy to express. Autoconf provides a wide range of macros (see Existing Tests), and Guile installation provides Guile-specific tests in the areas of: program detection, compilation flags reporting, and Scheme module checks.

Hamden police arrest woman in fatal stabbing of her boyfriend
HAMDEN—Police have charged a woman with murder after she allegedly stabbed her boyfriend in the chest in their home Saturday afternoon during what police are calling a domestic violence incident.
Lt. Timothy Wydra says that Rita Renee Johnson, 51, is being held in lieu of $500,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court Monday on a murder charge. The incident may be the result of an argument, he said.
Police responded around 3:01 p.m. to the first floor of 233 Goodrich St. on a report of a stabbing, and Officer Stephen Baris found Levern Brown, 44, with a stab wound.
Fire Department crews treated Brown, while patrol officers learned a potential female suspect fled the home on foot, according to Wydra. Officer Shawn Nutcher found Johnson on Columbus Street after searching the region, and took custody of the woman.
Brown underwent surgery at Yale-New Haven Hospital and was soon pronounced dead, according to Wydra. A preliminary investigation showed Brown was allegedly stabbed in the chest.
The Police Department Major Crimes Unit is investigating.

Spinlock's James Hall looks at the evolution of lifejackets and associated safety equipment in recent years.
There is no doubt that modern lifejacket design has changed considerably and one of the biggest drivers of this change has been due to personal ownership.
Rather than crew relying on lifejackets being on board a boat, they want to own their own lifejacket as part of their kit bag. Customers are now happy to spend what is required to get the features they want in a lifejacket and as result there are some great new lifejackets on the market to choose from.
One the best changes in modern lifejackets is the fit and adjustment. This includes being more comfortable to wear for long periods and being something that you might put on sooner and keep on for longer. Lifejackets now look like a piece of sports equipment rather than safety equipment, with better fabrics, colour choices and design. This makes them more appealing to wear.
When Spinlock first took a look at the lifejacket sector in 2000, we found most were being made to be as cheap as possible and resulted in something that sailors did not really want to wear. At the same time kit such as foul weather gear was getting more and more technical.
We knew that the market was ready for a new technical lifejacket that was appealing to put on. Firstly we made them comfortable to wear, borrowing technology and design from the backpack industry, and secondly we made them more appealing to wear thanks to the design and detailing.
One of the big choices facing the customer is buoyancy, with lifejackets approved to either 150N or 275N certificates. 275N is generally worn more in commercial marine with 150N more suited to leisure and racing, even offshore.
For leisure customers we recommend 150N as the lifejackets are lighter, more compact and comfortable to wear for long periods and will, of course, perform as expected should you end up in the water.
On the inside, if you are looking for a coastal or offshore lifejacket then look for a fitted light and sprayhood, as both are proven essentials to aid location and prolong survival.
If you already have a lifejacket but would like to add a light to it, Spinlock's LumeOn light can be retrofitted to any lifejacket bladder. The tiny lights have the effect of illuminating the whole bladder when activated, so should you fall overboard you instantly become a larger body to identify in the water.
If you do end up in the water, other considerations to add to your lifejacket include electronic devices to aid location, such as PLB and MOB AIS. Equipment has come down a lot in price, but most importantly so has size. Recent MOB AIS devices fit neatly inside the cover of lifejackets and can be automatically activated to help crews and rescuers, should they need to find you.
