Diving in MUSA Cancun Underwater Museum
Diving in MUSA requires an official diving certification. If you do not have one yet, you can do the Discover Scuba Course
Product Description
The Cancun Underwater Museum is the worlds most famous underwater sculpture museum. Scuba dive in this incredible place devoted to conservation of the area.
This eco-project known as MUSA began in 2009 and now holds over 470 life sized statues
The idea was to create an artificial reef featuring sculptures made from marine concrete. First algae forms on the underwater statues and then the tiny polyps begin to grow. Some of the figures are now covered with algae and others have some beautiful reef formations making the facial features distorted and eerie looking. The underwater museum Cancun is one of a kind.
Our 1 tank 28ft MUSA dive will take you to the main part of the Cancun museum known as the Silent Evolution.
There are 450 statues here and their eye formation is as such in order to protect the statues and of course the marine life and coral from increment weather conditions. The statues were made and placed with only two things in mind – conserving our existing natural reefs of Cancun and providing new havens for fish and sea life.
At the same time Cancun diving just got more interesting and this is not to be missed during your vacation.
Other statues from the museum in Cancun that can be seen during this dive are Anthropocene (a life sized VW Beetle car), The Bankers, Urban Reef, Bio Map, Bacab and Timebomb.

$20,000 drawing award: sharpen your pencils
Entries for The Parkin Prize national drawing award close on June 20, 2014 and artists are being reminded to enter and be in to win a major prize of $20,000.
The award, launched by Chris Parkin, arts patron and owner of Museum Art Hotel in Wellington last year, is open to anyone who lives permanently in New Zealand or has New Zealand citizenship. This year, for the first time, five highly commended prizes worth $500.00 each will also be awarded.
An advisory panel, consisting of artist, Dick Frizzell, Associate Professor and the head of the School of Fine Arts at Massey University, Heather Galbraith, senior lecturer in Painting at the University of Canterbury Roger Boyce and senior lecturer at the School of Fine Arts at Massey University Simon Morris will select the finalists for the exhibition at the NZ Academy of Fine Arts (26 July to 25 August 2014).
The winning submission will be selected and announced by judge, poet, essayist, art-writer, book-illustrator and artist Gregory O'Brien, during the month long Parkin Drawing Prize exhibition in July.
"We have purposely left out of the conditions of entry restrictions on what constitutes drawing leaving artists to define it by their practice," Mr Parkin says. "The opportunities for artists in this competition are endless – from the traditional (and not so traditional) figure drawing through to pure abstraction and beyond. We have an outstanding panel of judges this year who are eagerly anticipating the extensive variety of works they will be trawling through in the next few months.
The competition, in association with the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts, will promote excellence and innovation in drawing in all its forms (processes, materials and ideas) and aims to play an important role in fostering New Zealand drawing practice.
Entries close 5pm 20 June 2013. Forms and full details are available at www.parkinprize.org.nz.

Dusting off the blog, aren't we?
It's been a while since I was here. My birthday, summer, and ignoring why I have this websit- wait back to the main idiotic blog. I've made a twitter account called nitedasher.txt where I post my friends' idiotic ways to try and contact me.
You can read the account here and if you came from that account, read about my blog. Okay, now GET TO THE FAILS!
Probably my favorite, where my friend says "ROLLS EYES" in a group chat on Skype.
Comment on a youtube video I was early to see and then get responses like "nitedasher idiot" and "stop sending my daughter those videos, she has better things to do".

Luke 13:1-9
At that very time there were some present who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. He asked them, "Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way they were worse sinners than all other Galileans? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all perish as they did. Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower of Siloam fell on them—do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others living in Jerusalem? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all perish just as they did."
The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree
Then he told this parable: "A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it and found none. So he said to the gardener, 'See here! For three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and still I find none. Cut it down! Why should it be wasting the soil?' He replied, 'Sir, let it alone for one more year, until I dig around it and put manure on it. If it bears fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.'
God calls us to turn around and gather at this table
The God of second chances invites us to find a place here
So come to this table where God offers a fresh start
and where our God of infinite patience waits to turn our lives inside out.
Jesus shared so much with his disciples
Stories, friendship, teaching, food.
He constantly surprised them by confounding popular wisdom
He often turned things on their head
And, just when they thought they'd got it,
He would make them think again.
Sharing a traditional Passover meal with his disciples
the night before he died
He took bread, blessed it and said:
This is my body broken for you.
And then, after supper, he took a cup of wine, saying
This cup is the new relationship with God
made possible because of my death
Do this to remember me.
And so we remember Jesus today by sharing these gifts.
Let us first give thanks
Prayer of Thanksgiving
Gathered here today, we give thanks to God for being a God of surprises
A God who constantly challenges us to think again
- to hold back from making harsh judgements.
A God who encourages us to see everything in a different light
A God who is always prepared to give us another chance to turn around and find our way back to love.
As we take our place at this table, we find ourselves cheek by jowl with that great company of saints, the living and the dead.
Those in whose company we are at peace and those whose company makes us uneasy
Those we expect to find here and those whose presence surprises us
We come, bringing with us all those who are left out, excluded, forgotten.
And we pray for all who suffer today.
Those fighting for survival in the midst of war
Those forced to flee their homes, their countries and their loved ones
We pray for those who fear strangers and are unable to welcome those who are different
We pray that we, as people of the world, along with our leaders can work together for peace and justice and an equal sharing of the earth's resources.
Give us the will to make space for one another, to always expect and hope that things and people can change and to know that we are always held in your love.
Send your Holy Spirit on us and on these gifts of bread and wine and, as we do this to remember you, feed our resolve to change the world with you.
(Taking bread)
Christ who calls us to turn around meets us here in bread, his body broken for the life of the world
(Taking the cup)
Christ who offers us a way back to God, meets us in this wine, symbol of a new relationship with God
We do this to remember him.
Prayer after communion
God you have welcomed us to this table.
You have offered us a way back and another chance
May our welcome here today make us more open to welcoming others
And may all that you have taught us here spill over into our everyday.
Knowing ourselves loved by you, may we love one another and be prepared to keep on turning around to follow the path you reveal until you are glorified here and everywhere, now and forever.

Thanks for stopping by Refresh with Dawn Herring. I hope you enjoy browsing through the postings and get to know me a bit better. I'm Dawn Herring, host of #JournalChat Live and Links Edition for all things journaling on Twitter and Facebook. I'm also a writer and artist focused on refreshment, journaling, and positive change. Email me at email@example.com with any questions or comments you may have. Thanks and enjoy your stay!

My Year 2013: A Rewind
What I share in this post reflects my life as a journal keeper, an artist, host of #JournalChat Live, as writer, as a grandma, as a refreshment specialist, as a researcher, as an author, and as a newsletter creator.
As you can see, my life is very layered, multi-dimensional and rich! For that I am grateful.
So, without further ado, (drum roll, please! ;)) my life in 2013!
I shall begin with my life as a journal keeper:
I continue to enjoy engaging with my written journal, usually recording entries in the a.m. and p.m. and others when the situation calls for it. But starting in November, I began to take more breaks in my day and record in my journal three or four times per day, which has given me an even deeper clarity and insight into what I'm experiencing, thinking about, and determining needs to be done, especially with creating positive change--always vitally important! My journal gives me space to pay close attention to my intuition, my inner wisdom and to the divine spark given to me by the Creator.
I continue to use my dominant and non-dominant hand approach to my entries, activating both sides of the brain for a more holistic, logical and creative result. My journaling exercise, using Xs for negatives and * for positives, continues to give me visual clues for where I need more balance (key word here!). I also add a summary word that tells my day succinctly; that really gets me thinking in the big picture. Just a few months ago, I started using colored markers to write my entries, and I've written so much, that I need a new set already! Also, I even did a little of backwards writing as the suggestion of a friend (Thanks, Suzanna!) on #JournalChat. It takes a lot of concentration so I don't do that every day. It has also been fun to incorporate some other ideas I've gleaned from my reading and chatting on #JournalChat this year; that's always fun!
Now to my Authentic Refreshment with Art Journaling:
In January, it will be three years that I've kept an art journal; I am truly hooked!! I love using watercolors, oil pastels, crayon, tissue paper (for texture), colored paper (for collage), and rubber stamps to create messages as well as letters cut from magazines. In the latter half of this year, I've been experimenting with image transfers, getting the hang of working with gel mediums and creating layers on the page. Some of it has been a challenge, but I'm getting better and loving the process.
I always have so much fun going through magazines to pull images, text and color to work into my collages, my paintings and my pages. I love designing and combining different techniques to create fun works of art from the heart.
Also as a fine artist in watercolor, I did my first replicating rendering, using the stipple method, of a mocking bird, my adored bird you will find on my website, who delights my heart with his song and dance. It was such a delight to paint "In Your Element" considering my love for watercolor and for the mocking bird itself. I also continue to do intuitive paintings from my imagination and heart.
As an artist, I am absolutely delighted to have my Dawn Herring Collection Art Gallery available on my website, a long held dream of mine. It contains a page of my fine art paintings as well as my mixed media and watercolor bookmarks and message cards which are available for order! I love designing empowering message cards with favorite colors as reminders of who we really are and how we can make our meaningful mark in the world!
My whole website, Refresh with Dawn Herring, has been fully refreshed this year, featuring my empowering products and services, information about #JournalChat Live and Links Edition along with journaling prompts and resources for all things journaling that I've compiled from my reading and posting as host of #JournalChat Live on Twitter. There's a place to sign up for my now monthly Refresh Journal, which contains #JournalChat information, refreshing tips, music, and so much more, and to purchase my book, The Birthday Wall: Create a Collage to Celebrate Your Child, which had its one year anniversary of publication in March. My daughter, Sarah, shared her point of view on The Birthday Wall this year.
As Host of #JournalChat Live, I reached my two year anniversary in June with the structure of a weekly chat with new topic based on the journaling resource I choose for #JournalChat Pick of the Week. I even wrote a blog post covering all the resources and topics we covered for 2013 as a big THANK YOU for those who authored them and to those who participated. One big change that occurred back on October was the switch from Thursday afternoons to Sunday afternoons to hold the live chat on Twitter. And this month, another big change is being implemented in 2014, with #JournalChat Live being held the first Sunday of each month. Plus I've changed what was Pick of the Day to Dawn's #JournalChat Favorite and what was once Pick of the Week to Dawn's #JournalChat Choice to reflect those changes to once per month. I'm excited about these changes which I explain from the heart.
#JournalChat Live continues to be a source of fun, inspiration and ideas for journal keeping enthusiasts and we've had a lot of insightful conversation and support for our journaling community. Come join us the first Sunday of each month at 4 EST/1 PST on Twitter using the #JournalChat Hashtag in your tweet!
One of my good friends, Nathan Ohren of Write4Life, who has been a special guest on #JournalChat Live as well as an active contributor to our chats, interviewed me on his #JournalTalk podcast which was fun, interesting and fun! (When you listen, bear in mind that the time and day of #JournalChat Live is now on first Sunday of each month.) One of my favorite things about Nathan's approach to his podcast and his work in the world is his sense of humor (plus his heart). He has been a true supporter of my work with the live chat as well as my life as artist and refreshment enthusiast. It was a pleasure to work with him and to chat with him on #JournalChat Live. His podcasts with journaling experts are well worth listening to; I was glad to be a part of his series.
As a Refreshment Specialist, I've engaged in some refreshment research and have started a new blog called Your Authentic Refreshment, showcasing interviews with folks who engage in authentic refreshment which is something to help you appreciate yourself for who you are, validate your emotions and feelings and nurture your soul. Also new are my Refresh Sessions which I provide to work with people privately to help them discover what will refresh them and help them gain a fresh perspective in all of life's dimensions, thus loving themselves from the inside out and living empowered lives as a result!
As a writer, I have published several guests posts this year focused on journaling and refreshment on the websites/blogs of Kathleen Pooler, Karen Horneffer-Ginter, and in Outlet Magazine. I also continue to post on my Refresh with Dawn Herring blog (that you're reading now!) about once per month in addition to the content for Refresh Journal. I also have several longer works in progress, with one I hope to share in 2014.
As a grandma, I am deighted to say that my grandboy turned two! He is such a delight, always making Grandma smile and laugh with his chatter, his personality, and his love, always looking for hugs which I gladly give. We have so much fun together building with blocks, talking to his stuffed animals, doing sock puppets, and talking on the "phone." I just love to teach him all kinds of things, tell him stories, and just be plain silly to make him laugh. And Boy Does He Laugh! :D
When I look back on all of this good stuff, it really makes me want to do a happy dance; won't you dance with me?
My 2013 has been full, rich, insightful, and creative in many aspects and I look forward to what 2014 will hold.
My desire is to encourage folks to refresh themselves daily, keep a journal to record their special story for all posterity, and to love themselves heartily from the inside out.
I hope you will join me in this wild, wonderful journey; lets keep in touch in 2014!

I did not do very much this year, though I did manage to finish a much higher percentage of the things that I did start.
I also believe that I have finally figured out what I want to do with my life when I grow up.

I think figuring that out is one of the most important things you could have done. It's a reflection of who you really are. Kudos to you!
Be refreshed,

Dec. 10 — Morgan Stanley will pay $225 million to resolve claims involving mortgage-backed securities purchased by corporate credit unions, the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) said Dec. 10 (Nat'l Credit Union Admn. Board v. Morgan Stanley & Co., D. Kan., No. 13-cv-02418, settlement announced, 12/10/15); (Nat'l Credit Union Admn. Board v. Morgan Stanley & Co., S.D.N.Y., No. 13-cv-06705, settlement announced, 12/10/15).
The accord resolves separate NCUA cases brought in 2013 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas and the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York in connection with losses on the securities by four corporate credit unions — U.S. Central Federal Credit Union, Western Corporate Federal Credit Union, Members United Corporate Federal Credit Union and Southwest Corporate Federal Credit Union.
The settlement does not include an admission of fault by Morgan Stanley, the NCUA said in a statement. Morgan Stanley spokesman Wesley McDade Dec. 10 declined to comment on the NCUA's announcement
Corporate credit unions are wholesale credit unions that provide lending and various services to retail credit unions and their members, such as check clearing, electronic payments, and investments. Five corporate credit unions were seized by NCUA in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis.
The NCUA has since filed several lawsuits to recover losses on poorly performing mortgage-backed securities. The suits allege the sale of flawed securities contributed to the collapse of the corporate credit unions.
The NCUA said Dec. 10 that it has cases ongoing against the Royal Bank of Scotland, Goldman Sachs, UBS and Credit Suisse.
"NCUA continues to pursue recoveries on behalf of the corporate credit unions against the financial firms we maintain contributed to the corporates' losses," NCUA Board Chairman Debbie Matz said. "These actions fulfill our statutory obligation to act in order to minimize costs to the credit union system resulting from the crisis. They also promote accountability and ensure consumers remain protected."

Using up a stack of 2.5 in strips that may have once come as a jelly roll. As mentioned in my previous posts I used Simply Woven quilt pattern by Jessica Kelly of sewcraftyjess.com for Moda. I found her directions superb, I really enjoyed watching the emerging pattern. I ended up making 16 block for this quilt. However, due to a small miscalculation I could only use 12 on the front and 3 on the back. Somehow I mixed up the placement of one of the stripes causing the entire block to not match up with the other 15. One of the downfalls of quilting past your bedtime.
I used an all over quilted swirl on this quilt, trying to balance out the square edges and sharp corners with a few curves and waves.
The back I pieced from a few pieces I had leftover from another quilt + the three blocks I couldn't use on the front. The misfit block that wouldn't work anywhere will probably be made into a journal cover. Only time will tell. This quilt is going up in the basket of quilts to be gifted. More than likely it will find a home with one of the 4 teachers we have this year who are becoming first time parents.
E was my big helper for this photo shoot.
She really got into it. Posing in all sorts of funny positions and faces.
Even she enjoyed this fun quilt.

Siem Reap (Cambodia): Anirban Lahiri inched closer to retaining his Asian Tour card for next season by finishing a creditable tied fourth with a three-under 69 in the final round of the Johnnie Walker Cambodian Open golf tournament on Sunday.
Lahiri posted a four-day total of 14-under 274 to take back a cheque of USD 13,545 in the USD 300,000 event.
The Indian was lying 61st on the Asian Tour Order of Merit, which is the cut-off for securing the playing rights for 2011, and is expected to rise slightly after this.
"I started quite badly but I`m happy with how I managed to finish this week. I`ve been playing really good from the second day. I only made one mistake today, a triple bogey on the seventh hole but I`m really proud that I made four birdies in a row after that to come back into it," Lahiri said of his
round on Sunday.
"I`m pleased and quite happy with the way it has ended up and hopefully it should be enough to secure my Tour card for next year. I played really well in Black Mountain last year and if I got my card which I think I do, then I got to go there and try and win and get my rankings further up," he added.
The other Indian in fray, Himmat Rai returned his best card of the week -- a three-under 69 -- to rise nine rungs and end tied 19th with a total of seven-under 281.
Thai star Thongchai Jaidee (65) lifted the trophy with a total of 21-under 267.

HAGERSTOWN - The results of a survey given to all 2006 graduating seniors in Washington County should be available soon, Patricia Abernethy, deputy superintendent for system-wide improvement, efficiency and accountability, told the Washington County Board of Education on Tuesday.
The Life Track Program surveys were given to graduating students in June and will be taken by the same students again in 18 months and in five years.
Abernethy said the survey will track graduates' progress and satisfaction with their education, as well as the benefits of that education. The results of the questionnaire will be used by administrators to assess how satisfied students are with their education.
"Thinking back now on your teachers may be different 18 months later when (students) realize the value of that teacher," Abernethy said.

I had the honour of photographing my beautiful neighbours son's baptism yesterday. For my own reasons I have not been to church in a long while. As I entered the church, flickering lights caught my eye. A lady was lighting a candle. She stood there for a few minutes in prayer.
Each of these candles represents a prayer, a worried heart, a faithful heart, a sorrowful heart. I lit a candle for all of our broken hearts. My prayer was for peace. For all walking this road of grief.
What a beautiful act... to light a candle for somebody else.

This essay has been submitted by a law student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
Published: Fri, 02 Feb 2018
Mauritius Has A Hybrid Legal System
Mauritius is rather unique in having a dual set of laws. There is the "code Napoleon", a legacy of the French occupation of the island together with statue laws passed by the legislation Assembly. British took possession of the island in 1810. When the French surrendered to the British, they obtained from their victors that their property and customs and laws would be respected. It was more easier to keep the "code Napoleon" than to overhaul the legal system. So our aim today is to show how the Mauritian legal system is an hybrid system.
Historical backgrounds
The republic of Mauritius has been subject to a number of colonization attempts, namely by the arabe, the Portuguese and the Dutch in the year 1598 and the French cause to colonise Mauritius in the 1715 and of course they introduced their law to Mauritius for e.g (i) Loi & Reglements (legislation) (ii) coutume. And when the French retrieve the island to England in the 1810, they had different types of law so they used (i) Common law, Equity, Legislation, Statute (Legislation), local custom.
Sources of Mauritian law as a hybrid legal system
The basic substantive content of part of Mauritian law is thus derived from the French codes: the Civil Code which has been amended over the years to adapt the local context, the Penal Code which has been reenacted as the Criminal Code and the Code of Commerce has been included to a lesser extent. While on the other hand, the law of procedure and evidence are from the English Law, provisions of the Code de Procedure Civile are still in force. This is an inevitable result of the adoption of a court structure and the remedies which they provide in the tradition of the common law. The Mauritian constitution follows the "Westminster model". Mauritian legal system has borrowed law relating to trade and commerce. Shipping, finance, banking, company law, negotiable and bankruptcy instrument. The legislation and statutory interpretation has been largely inspired by English Law and Jurisprudence. The Mauritian law has emerged from a mixture of both English and French Law and thus has its own authentic Identity.
There exists a hierarchy at legislative norms.
4.1 The Constitution
Constitution is also known as supreme law – as mention in section 2 of the constitution. There it mentions about any law which is inconsistent with the constitution shall to the extent of the inconsistency be void. As mention in section 47, the parliament may, with the support of a qualified majority, amend the provisions of the constitution.
Note the lack of efficacy of section 47(3) of the Constitution.
Any person who feels aggrieved that a provision of the Constitution has been infringed can apply to the Supreme Court to obtain redress. Thus in Police v. Fra (1975) MR 157 and in Vellevindron v. R (1973) MR 245 the Supreme Court struck down legislation which infringed the presumption of innocence of the accused guaranteed by section 10 of the Constitution. In UDM v. Governor General (1990) MR 118, the provision of the Legislative Assembly Elections Rules which provided for a deposit of Rs10,000 to stand as candidate was declared void as it sought to introduce a property qualification, when none was provided for by the Constitution. The Supreme Court has also invalidated legislation contravening the principle of separation of powers, which is an underlying feature of our Constitution: Mahboob v. Government of Mauritius (1982) MR 135; Noorbally v. Queen (1986) MR 204.
4.2 Primary Legislation/Secondary Legislation
Section 45(1) of the Constitution vests law-making power with Parliament; it may pass laws for the peace, order and good government of Mauritius. Acts of Parliament must, of course, be in conformity with the Constitution.
Acts passed by Parliament are referred to as Primary Legislation. By contrast, subsidiary legislation refers to those Rules or Regulations enacted by ministers, local councils or public authorities to whom law-making power has been delegated. Section 118 of the Constitution empowers the Commissions and tribunals established under the Constitution to make regulations for their proper functioning. Similarly Parliament can delegate its law-making power.
The subsidiary legislation must be in conformity with the enabling Act (where this power has been conferred by an ordinary Act of Parliament) and the Constitution.
4.3 The legislative Process
The Legislative process comprises of various stages.
4.3.1 The preliminary stage
4.3.2 Procedures in Parliament
(i) First Reading
(ii) Second Reading
(iii) Committee stage
(iv) Third Reading
(v) Voting
(vi) Assent of President
(vii) Publication in the Government Gaze
The preliminary stage
Normally the public bills are prepared or written by the ministries, it is a law that is created to reflect the idea of the ministers. In September 2000, the new government voted, for a while the board of investment bill. Most of the time, other bill are 'amendment bill' that is used often prompted by the senior civil servant who directly or indirectly, through junior staff.
Procedures in Parliament
220.127.116.11 First reading
Mauritius has an unicameral system of parliament that means it has only one house of parliament. Whereas, in United Kingdom it is a bi-cameral system of parliament. For e.g: there are the House of Lords and the House of Commons.
The first reading is known when the bill is being introduced for the first time.
184.108.40.206 Second Reading
There is a formal motion for the second reading, following that motion, a debate will follow. For the second reading, the speaker, after consultation with the chief whip of the political parties. The speakers debate on the general principle and amendments that is the speech should not be irrelevant.
220.127.116.11 Committee Stage
After the debate, the bill stands is sent committed to a 'committee' of the whole assembly. The amendments which ultimately may be either accepted or rejected, may be suggested.
22.214.171.124 Third Reading
The third reading is the fact when it has already passed by the committee or a select committee. The first meeting may also be postponed.
18.104.22.168 Voting
By the virtue of section 53 of the constitution, the bill, just as other ordinary motions, should be voted by a majority of members of the parliament present.
184.108.40.206 Assent of the President
After the final vote during the third reading the bill is sent to the president of the Republic for his assent. When the president assents to the bill, the bill becomes a law, but is not yet operational
220.127.116.11 The Publication in the Government Gazette
As mentioned in section 46(4) of the constitution, the law will become operational when it has been published in the Government Gazette.
4.4 Delegated Legislation
A number of legislation, known as Enabling Acts or Parent Acts, allow subsidiary organizations, municipalities or parastatal bodies to pass delegated legislations, which are known as "Regulations, Orders, Rules or Buyer laws".
For example – the local Government Act by virtue of sections 140 and 141 of the minister unables municipalities and district councils to pass delegated legislation. Ministers can also make regulations under various enabling Acts. Thus, the Minister of Education has made a number of regulations over the years to regulate the educational field, e.g, University of Mauritius Act.
So, there is an express as well as implicit delegation of power to various subsidiary organizations. Section 122 of the constitution enables Parliament to exercise some form of control over delegated legislation.
In addition, the President of the Republic is also empowered to make regulations during a state of emergency by virtue of section 18 of the Constitution and also by virtue of section 3 of the Emergency Powers Act. Therefore, the President may make such regulations as appear to him to be necessary for maintaining and securing peace, order and good government in Mauritius or any part thereof.
Judicial Precedents(case law)
Case law, also known as judge-made law, is the system under which the decision of a superior court is binding for the future on a court inferior to itself and sometimes binding on the court which gave the decision.
For the effective operation of the system there must be a clearly defined hierarchy of courts and clear and accurate reports of judicial decisions. Of course, it is not the whole of the decision which contributes a precedent, but only the ratio decidendi of a case.
5.1 Precedent as a Source of Law in Mauritius
In the light of Article 5 of the Code Napoléon to the effect that " il est défendu aux juges de prononcer par voie de disposition générale et réglementaire sur les causes qui leur sont soumises", one would be prompted to infer that judicial decisions cannot be a source of law in Mauritius, as is the position in France. This provision prohibits judges from adhering to a system of judicial precedent.
Yet, the Supreme Court asserted in DPP v. Mootoocarpen (1988) MR 195 at 196 that:
"It is quite clear that if a treatise were to be written on Mauritian Law, the sources of our law would not be limited to statue but would have to include case-law.
That Case-law (that is decisions of superior courts in Mauritius, viz. the Supreme Court and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council) constitutes a source of law therefore calls for an explanation.
This is the situation because section 2 of the Ordinance No. 2 of 1850, which established the Supreme Court, vested it with the same powers, authority, and jurisdiction that are possessed and exercised by Her Majesty's Court of Queen's Bench in England. Moreover, section 4 of that Ordinance, was to the effect that the Supreme Court and the judges thereof shall sit, and proceed to and conduct, and carry on, business in the same manner as the Court of Queen's Bench and the judges thereof. At the Court of Queen's Bench, as in other English Courts, there was adherence to a system of judicial precedent and stare decisis whereby decisions of higher courts were binding on lower courts and on themselves. These provisions of the 1850 Ordinance superseded the provisions of Article 5 of the Code Napoléon in so far as the latter purported to prohibit judicial precedent.
Adherence to judicial precedent was eased as from 1861 with the regular publication of the Mauritius Reports (MR), which is a collection of the main decisions of the Supreme Court (S.C.J.: Supreme Court Judgments are published weekly). The initiative initially was a private one, that of a local attorney: Me Adrien Piston. From 1940 onwards, the Mauritius Reports have been an official publication and the editing entrusted to the Chief Justice.
What is the relative importance of Case-law? Few areas are entirely governed by case-law (contempt, judicial review, a number of evidential and procedural rules). Even in those areas regulated by statue, judicial decisions do contribute to the law-making process by indicating which statutory provisions are applicable to a given situation and by indicating how a provision is to be interpreted (it clarifies, when various interpretations are possible, which one is athe appropriate one).
5.2 The Common Law in Mauritius
The common law was not incorporated in Mauritian law because when the British took possession of Mauritius, the Code Napoléon which constituted the "droit commun" of the inhabitants had already been proclaimed.
However, some of the common laws have been adjusted by the legislation into our law system.
e.g 1: the rules relating to contempt of court.
e.g 2: the rules regarding JR (Judicial Review) of decision of public authorities.
These rules were incorporated by the provision in Ordinance no. 2 of 1850, which rested the Supreme Court with the same powers as the Court of Queen's Bench in England.
e.g. 3: A third area where the common law has been introduced to our system is the law of evidence: section 62 of the courts Act.
Common law evidential rules thus apply in the absence of statutory provision governing the matter, in the absence of statutory provisions, common law, criminal, procedural rules apply as regards the conduct of Assizes Section 56 of the Courts Act provides that where any question arises as to any procedures, or conduct in any matter, in the trial of jury.
5.3 Judicial Decisions from other Jurisdictions
Expect in those areas where Common law or Equitable rules have been made applicable by Parliament, Mauritian Courts are not bound by decisions of English Courts. Nor are they bound by decisions of French Courts. The practice is, however, that where Mauritian legislation has been borrowed from English or French legislation, a court will refer to decisions interpreting such legislation for guidance.
In the year 1861, the Judges of the Supreme Court stated that "in this, as in every other case, where questions are raised on the Civil Code, we are in the habit of resorting to the decisions of the Courts which gave it birth".[Carbonel, Bourdin Fils & Co. v. Letellier & ors. (1861) MR 51]
5.4 Customs as a source of Law
Two requirements must be fulfill, for a custom which is recognized as a sources of Law, for it to be established that there exist a custom:
A material element: there must have been a consistent practice over a period of lime. This is referred to as the Repetitio. In the matters of trade, it has been considered that a period of 18 months is too short to establish such a practice. In Pipon Adam & Co. v. Chapuy(1879) MR 104, it was pointed out that for a usage to be binding it must be known to the parties and of uniform and long continuance.
An intellectual element: this is referred to as the Opinio Necessitatis. That is it is not sufficient that a practice has existed, it must also be demonstrated that the practice is adhered to because the persons concerned labour under the impression that there is a legal obligation on their part to adopt such a course of action.
Usages as such are devoid of any legal force. But note that by legislation usages are incorporated into contracts. Thus Articles 1135 and 1159 of the Code Napoléon provide:
Act. 1135 C.Nap.: " Les obligations obligent non seulement a ce qui y est exprimé, mais encore a toutes les suites que l'équité, l'usaage ou la loi donnent a l'obligation d'après sa nature".
Act.1159 C. Nap.: "Ce qui est ambigu s'interprète par ce qui est d'usage dans le pays où le contrat est passé."
Customary rules can be classified as being of different types:
Customs Secundum Legem
Customs Praeter Legem
Customs Contra Legem
Customs Secundum Legem: These are customs which the legislator expressly indicate will govern a given situation.
Customs Praeter Legem: As one French writer puts it, "ce sont les coutumes qui se forment en l'absence de la loi pour combler un vide juridique". Customs praeter legem appear essentially in areas where the laws is in the constant process of development, such as business or commercial law, and in particular the law of banking.
Customs Contra Legem: It concerns those practices, which would be contrary to a statutory provision. As a rule,"la loi est dans la hiérarchie plus haut place que la coutume; par suite, une loi peut abroger une coutume mais une coutume contraire a une loi ne saurait valoir quoi que ce soit". It has been decided by the French Court of Cassation "qu'une pratique contraire ne peut remplacer une loi qu'on a oubliée; les lois ne s'abrogent pas par desuetude"
[Chambres Réunies, 5 Mars 1924, D.P. 1924, I, at p. 81.]
It must, nevertheless, be recognized that there are instances where a custom contra legem would prevail over a statutory provision. Eg "la solidarité est presume en droit commercial" whilst Article 1202 of the Code Napoléon is to the contrary.
The term Doctrine designates legal scholarship, the body of legal writing or literature. As one French writer observed "on entend par doctrine l'ensemble des etudes publiées par les jurists, les opinions qu'ils émettent sur les questions relevant de leur spécialité; la doctrine est la théorie du droit".
Relative Importance of 'Doctrine' in Civil Law and Common Law Systems
In civil law systems, doctrine is an inherent part of the system and is indispensable to a systematic and analytical understanding of it. It exerts considerable influence on "l'établissement et l'évolution des règles du droit". As one writer puts it:
[La doctrine] guide le législateur, la jurisprudence et la pratique et les fait bénéficier de travaux approfondis de recherché que le praticien n'a pas toujours le temps d'effectuer. L'influence de la doctrine s'exerce sur le législateur en ce que la critique des lois en vigueur et la preparation de lois nouvelles facillite l'oeuvre legislative. Le législateur fait volontiers appel a tel jurist repute pour participer aux travaux des commissions préparatoires d'étude des lois … La doctrine exerce une plus grande influence sur la jurisprudence. En interprétant le sens et la portée des lois elle aide les tribunaux a les appliquer. En analysant les decisions rendues par les tribunaux elle permet aux jurists d'en prendre une conscience plus Claire. Sur un certain nombre de questions la doctrine a favorisé l'évolution de la jurisprudence".
Numerous writers are regarded as "autorités" for the Civil Code: Aubry & Rau, Baudry-Lacantinerie, Planiol & Ripert, Colin & Capitant, Troplong, Marty & Raynaud, Mazeaud, etc. As regards the Code Pénal, Garçon and Garraud are often quoted as "autorités".
In the common law systems, commentators have been historically less influential, Blackstone and Bentham being the exceptions. Nevertheless, today case comments, articles are helpful for an understanding of the law; there is a growing tendency to have recourse to the expertise of law academics for law reform.
Starting from our historical background, Mauritius has been subject to a number of colonization attempts. Amoung all these colonization, Mauritius adopted its laws from two colonization. That is from France and England. The legal system of Mauritius is governed by both French Code Napoleon and the British law based on the common law. Thus the present Mauritian law owns about 2/3 of its origin to English law and 1/3 to French law (with z emergence of doctrine which is French inspired and Code Napoleon). Therefore we can cope with z agreement that Mauritius enjoys a hybrid legal system. The procedural law both in criminal and civil litigation is mainly English, whilst the substantive law is mainly based on the French Napoleonic Code.

An area fund-raiser is to return this year for an encore performance.
"Vegas Vengeance," a murder-mystery dinner theater, is planned for June 11 and 12 and proceeds will benefit the Awesome Angels Relay for Life team.
The show's writer and director, Betty Lou Svonavec of Rockwood, has planned a full evening of entertainment.
Before the show, attendees can try their luck Vegas-style.
"We'll have slot machines, blackjack, wheels, bingo, all kinds of things," said Svonavec. Also, anyone yearning to be a blushing bride or wanting to bet on thoroughbreds can visit the event's Chapel of Love and horse racing venue.
Gambling will be followed by the show, complete with showgirls, mafiosos and Elvis impersonators, as well as a puzzling murder for attendees to solve, said Svonavec.
"Throughout the evening, something will happen and it is up to the audience to solve the mystery. (Everyone) must stay until they solve (it). The bouncer won't let them out."

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Flood® Wood Care for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
When we moved out of our falling down house we were so excited to move into a house that was safe, structurally sound, and just in need of a little updating. Over the last year and a half the whole house has been touched in some way to spruce it up and change it over from builder grade 1990's to custom 2013.One of the ways we are doing this is by getting rid of the boring oak look for a richer, darker, more contemporary look with Flood Wood Stain.
Flood Wood Stain is a fabulous product that restores, protects, and transforms wood projects. It can be used on big projects like deck but is still perfect for the little projects like tables and chairs. I plan on using it again on a playset in the backyard. The Mohave Desert can do horrible things to wood. A friend of mine bought a glorious wood playset for her girls. After two years while one of her girls was playing on it she heard a big crack and the whole thing came apart. My friend negelected to treat the wood from the sun with Flood Wood Care. If she had just seen the Staining Made Simple Guide she would have known to protect it and the girls would be enjoying it to this day. Dont' make the same mistake!
