Global Specialty Chemicals Market: Snapshot
The agriculture industry is under high pressure to improve quality as well as quantity of yield. One of the most common and effective methods employed by this industry is the use of agrochemicals. This forms the primary driver for specialty chemicals players across the world. The World Bank stipulated that farmers globally will have to improve their yield by at least 50% by 2050 to sustain the current rate of increase in the global population. This demand has consequently created key opportunities for producers of specialty chemicals.
The automotive industry is another large scale user of specialty chemicals. The currently rapid rate of growth that the global auto industry is experiencing is creating a wide array of opportunities for all the markets related to it as the end-user. This applies especially to the specialty chemicals market, as the auto industry is dependent on it for the production of materials including plastic adhesives, sealants, and paints and coatings.
The strict regulatory structure imposed on the use of agrochemicals is currently the greatest restraint that specialty chemicals producers are facing, which can be changed through the use of approved non-toxic chemicals and a higher awareness of them among the players.
High Agrochemical Demand from APAC Attract Large Number of Specialty Chemicals Manufacturers
By the end of 2023, Asia Pacific is expected to take up 54.4% of the global market value of specialty chemicals. The two most lucrative avenues for specialty chemicals players in this region have consistently remained the agriculture industry and paper and textiles. Asia Pacific is a primarily a region that contains agrarian and developing economies. Countries such as China and India depend to a large extent on agriculture for trade and exports. Their rapidly increasing population densities are causing a growing pressure on farmer to improve their yield in shorter times. The use of agrochemicals is the most common method used to achieve this, thereby creating a very large avenue of growth for its producers.
At the same time, the paper and textile industries are also showing a positive upswing due to the increasing consumption of paper and apparel in a progressing economy with increasing disposable incomes. This provides key opportunities for specialty chemicals manufacturers from both within this region as well as the globally prominent ones.
Agrochemicals Among the Top Demand Specialty Chemicals
By the end of 2023, 13.5% of the global specialty chemicals market value will be based in agrochemicals. The top market share, however, is taken up by a collective product segment of specialty chemicals that includes nutraceuticals ingredients, water management chemicals, cosmetic chemicals, printing inks, feed additives, catalysts, and flavors and fragrances. This collective segment is expected to show a rapid increase in demand from industries such as cosmetics and personal care, wastewater management, and food and beverages.
The top producers of specialty chemicals in the world include BASF SE, The Dow Chemical Company, INEOS Group AG, E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, Bayer AG, Clariant AG, Chemtura Corporation, Eastman Chemical Company, Akzo Nobel N.V., Evonik Industries AG, and Syngenta AG.

The Call of the Wild Study Guide (Choose to Continue)
The Call of the Wild: Novel Summary: Chapter 1
Chapter 1
The story begins in the fall of 1897, at the time of the Klondike Gold Rush. Buck is a large, one-hundred and forty pound dog who lives on a ranch owned by Judge Miller in Santa Clara, California, some forty miles south of San Francisco.
Buck is four years old and has an enjoyable life. Unlike the other, smaller dogs on the ranch, he is allowed to roam over the entire property. He goes into the swimming tank, hunts with the judge's sons, and escorts the judge's daughters on their morning walks. In the winter he lies at the feet of the judge in front of the fire in the library. He is like a king who lords it over all the other creatures, and is treated with respect by everyone.
Buck's comfortable life is ended when Manuel, one of the gardener's helpers, take him for a walk and sells him to a man who treats him roughly and throws him into the baggage car of a train. Halfway through the night Buck is transferred to a cage-like crate. In the morning, four men come to pick up the crate. They amuse themselves by poking sticks at him. Buck is conveyed to a railway depot, where he is placed in an express car. He stays there for two days and nights, during which he neither eats nor drinks. He is bundled off the train at Seattle, where a man in a red sweater takes charge of him. The man lets Buck out of the cage, and Buck attacks him in fury, but the man brutally beats him into submission with a club. Buck is beaten but his spirit is not broken. In the days that follow, more dogs arrive, and Buck watches as they are beaten in the same fashion. Adapting to his new situation, Buck realizes that the man is the master and must be obeyed.
Buck is then sold to a man named Perrault, a Canadian government mail-driver, who realizes from Buck's impressive appearance that he is a dog in a thousand. Along with a dog named Curly, they travel north on the deck of the ship, Narwhal. The dogs are turned over to Fran�ois, a swarthy French-Canadian. Buck learns to respect both men, since they are calm and fair. There are two other dogs on the ship, a big dog from Spitzbergen, and a gloomy one named Dave, who just likes to be left alone. The weather gets colder as they head north, and Buck encounters snow for the first time.
The Call of the Wild can be read simply as an adventure story about a dog, but most commentators see in it something deeper than that. There are many parallels between the world of dogs and the world of humans, so the novel can be read as a kind of human allegory. Buck himself is given emotions such as pride and shame, and an awareness of abstract ideas such as justice.
In the first chapter Buck takes the first steps to discovering a different kind of law of life than he has known at Judge Miller's ranch. His life there is very orderly and civilized. He is like a "sated aristocrat"; he is compared to a country gentleman and a lord (since he is lord over all the other animals on the ranch). In this civilized life, wild impulses are tamed. Buck enjoys comfort and privilege. He does not have to fight for anything; all his needs are provided for. He has not had to earn his position; like an aristocrat, he was born to it. But his deeper nature is unknown to him, and this is what he will discover during the course of the novel. It is a painful journey. In chapter 1, for example, he learns for the first time that there can be other relationships between man and dog than the one he has known. The man in the red sweater who clubs him into submission is his introduction to a ruthless world in which the strong rule, and Buck makes his first adaptation to it.

Walt Ranch: who's accountable if they're wrong
on the web at:
Gerald Cohn | Jun 2, 2016
In Mr. Warfield's May 8 article in the Napa Valley Register, "
So who is missing the point
, he describes the Halls as very nice and generous people because they follow the rules and give to charities. I wonder what the point of view would be from someone raising a family in Circle Oaks and who will have to put up with four years of construction?
The Walt Ranch is 2,300 acres. Divide that by 640 acres per square mile and the result is 3.4 square miles. In all of that property the only place they could find to develop a vineyard with a strong probability that it could be as large as 500 acres and require up to 30 acre-feet of water is right next to Circle Oaks? Circle Oaks is a middle-class community of about 180 homes that has existed since the 1960s. I wonder if this project would be considered if Circle Oaks was a high-end community like Silverado or St. Helena.
To add insult to injury, the plan is to run heavy equipment right through the center of the community on Circle Oaks Drive.
On April 4, I attended a meeting chaired by David Morrison. It was brought up (with pictures) that the road in question and the land surrounding Circle Oaks is unstable and subject to slippage and the environmental impact report did not address this problem.
This problem was illustrated in an article in the Napa Valley Register on May 2, 2016 that reported the damage to Highway 121 due to slippage could cost up to $5.5 million and take several months to repair. As the meeting on April 4 discussed, these are the similar problems that Circle Oaks Drive exhibited, i.e. ground slippage.
It is also interesting that Mr. Morrison had most of April and all of May, but is waiting until June 11 to disclose his findings, after the election on June 7.
To put things in perspective, a 500-acre vineyard is over ¾ of a square mile and can require to 30 acre-feet of water a year. An acre-foot of water is 325,851 gallons times 30 equals 9.77 million gallons of water a year just for this one development. There are more than 30 individual parcels on the Walt Ranch. What effect the development of all of these parcels would have on water use, drainage, and possible contamination of the Milliken Watershed is unknown.
Water use: To sum this up, the environmental impact report paid for by the Walt Ranch states that the water use will be mitigated by the monitoring of well water levels. Nowhere is there any provision on who is accountable if Circle Oaks runs out of water and what steps should be taken if this happens. It should be noted that the groundwater study conducted by Slade & Associates states that the irrigation demands of the Walt Ranch Vineyard would not affect the ground water levels in offsite wells. This is the same company that said that the water needs of the Carneros Inn and the Carneros residents could be met. Instead, the Carneros Inn and Carneros residents have to track in water purchased from the city of Napa.
Drainage: The environmental impact report for the Walt Ranch also states that the vineyard will not increase sediment and pollutants being washed off the property during storms because of measures taken by the Walt Ranch project. When Joy Eldredge, Napa Water's General Manager, expressed concerns about the vineyard's runoff polluting the Milliken Reservoir and asked if the Walt Ranch would help pay for the $20 million that would be necessary to upgrade the water treatment plant, the Walt Ranch's response was that the request was "disproportional, given that the project's impact will be less than significant"
Trees: The Halls say that only 12.1 percent of the total trees on Wall Ranch will be cut down. What they do not tell us is that 12.1 percent is approximately 28,000 trees. This makes it hard to believe that the Halls are stewards of the land.
The bottom line is the Wall Ranch project will seriously impact Circle Oaks because the environmental impact reports are a sham. They offer no accountability if the mitigations fail. Who is going to be accountable if Circle Oaks Drive fails, if the Circle Oaks community runs out of water, or if the Milliken Reservoir gets polluted?
It is a sad day when the corporate mantra of profit without accountability trumps the right of locals who give to charities and obey the rules to be able to live in harmony with one's environment. Shakespeare said that it is a fool's prerogative to utter truths that no one else will speak.
Jerry Cohn
NVR version 6/1/16:
Who is accountable if they're wrong?

=== Dutch Oven Recipe ===
Feeds five, easily! The recipe was adapted from "The Dutch Oven Cookbook: Recipes for the Best Pot in Your Kitchen" by Sharon Kramis and Julie Kramis-Hearne to build an at-home version of the backcountry recipe.
Melt butter in dutch oven. Add vegetables (onion, celery) and cook 5 minutes. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and mix well. Slowly add broth and simmer 5 minutes. Add potatoes, quinua, and bay leaf. Cook over low heat until the potatoes are tender (about 15 minutes). Add corn, green onion, salmon, and cream. Simmer 8 minutes more, or until done.
=== Backcountry Recipe ===
Feeds two, while camping!
3 cups water
Cook quinua in a little more than three cups water. If at any stage the meal looks dry, add more water. When the quinua has five minutes left, add the onion, the corn chowder, and the butter. When the quinua is done, add the remaining ingredients.

LONDON (Reuters) - The Netherlands won their second successive women's Olympic hockey gold by beating world champions Argentina 2-0 on Friday with both goals scored from second-half penalty corners.
The Dutch netted from their third corner in the 45th minute through Carlien Dirkse van den Heuvel's rebound and nine minutes later Maartje Paumen got their second to wrap up the victory.
The two sides had largely cancelled each other out in the first half but the Dutch took control after the break to show why they got to the final without dropping a point.
Argentina keeper Florencia Mutio saved Paumen's direct shot but had no chance with Van den Heuvel's rebound.
That set the sea of orange fans roaring and a Dutch brass band picking up their tunes before Paumen scored her trademark penalty kick - a hard drag flick just below the crossbar.
Paumen, who netted 11 times at the Beijing Games, has now scored an Olympic record total of 14 goals. The Dutch skipper had not got on the scoresheet in London until the semi-final against New Zealand but found her touch when it mattered most.
Her two penalty corner goals in the semi kept her side in the tournament after they trailed twice.
The Dutch victory ended Argentina captain Luciana Aymar's dream of completing her set of hockey medals. The record seven-times world player of the year, who celebrated her 35th birthday on Friday, has won every major title except Olympic gold.
Aymar has said she will now retire from international hockey.
The Argentines had suffered a scare when Mariela Scarone was hit by a Dutch stick in an attempted tackle. With blood streaming from a cut under her eye, she was led off the field but returned in the second half.
Hosts Britain beat New Zealand 3-1 earlier on Friday to take the bronze.

Support our troops - Get them out of there - Bring them home.
Click here for The Center For Public Integrity database of the 935 Lies of the Bush administration officials that led us into War.
From The Mike Malloy Program 01/24/08.
Investigate - Impeach - Indict - Imprison.
"In my lifetime we've gone from Eisenhower to George W. Bush.
If this is evolution, I believe within twelve years we'll be voting for plants." - Lewis Black
Hey Mike,
My mom's step-dad was the only grandfather I ever knew. He was a short, stout, outwardly devout Christian and looked like a Norman Rockwell American straight from a cover of The Saturday Evening Post. He and the rest of Nixon's "Silent Majority" were taken completely by surprise by the 60's. The seemingly placid era of the 50's was turned upside down when Negroes forgot their place and demanded Civil Rights. The next thing he knew young people defied authority and refused to support the war in Vietnam. Women suddenly seemed to lose their minds and wanted control over their own bodies. Clean cut kids started growing their hair long, smoking dope, and having irresponsible sex. This deeply disturbed millions of Americans like my grandfather who sincerely believed sex was only safely discussed within the confines of a Reader's Digest article.
I can understand his confusion and anger. At the end of World War Two there was only one colossus bestriding the globe and that was us.
We Won. And we got our Just Reward.
We were the biggest, and the baddest, and we had Gawd and The Bomb on our side. (Not necessarily in that order.) We had the factories and the money, we had the know-how, and no matter how you sliced it … We Were The Good Guys. The United States could do just about anything … and we were poised to do just that. All Americans had to do was go to work, cash their paychecks, and start buying the American Dream as advertised on their new television sets.
Just as my grandfather was getting accustomed to living in paradise, all hell broke loose. The aforementioned Negroes, Young People, and Equal Rights seeking Women were essentially telling him he could take his paradise and shove it up his ass because they had a different idea about where the country should go.
Grimly determined to keep his American dream, he didn't mind when they brought out the dogs and the fire hoses. When the cops attacked in Chicago, and the National Guard started shooting up Kent State … he didn't mind at all. He wanted his country back. He wanted to go back to the time when We Had Won. He wanted to go back to the time when he didn't have to remember to say the word Negro, instead of the word he had used his entire life. He wanted to go back to the time when all the Women, Negroes, and Children did what they were told. He wanted to go back to Pleasantville, where Ozzie and Harriet and "The Beav" solved their problems in under a half hour because Father Knows Best in a black and white world.
The Republicans promised they'd get back that paradise for him and he supported them until the day he died.
Forty-some years ago my friends and I seriously wondered how far our parents' and grandparents' generations would go to preserve their American Dream. When my friends talked about a revolution I'd take another toke off the joint making its way around the room and say there was no need for a revolution. All we had to do was wait just a little while longer and everything we wanted in a society would happen as if by magic.
As Jeffery Deaver wrote:
You can't see it, but it's always present.
Run as fast as you can, but you'll never escape it.
Fight it with all your strength, but you'll never defeat it.
It kills when it wishes, but can never be brought to justice.
What is it?
Everybody standing in our way was going to die.
I'd pontificate as only the righteously stoned could. There will be No More War. There were over 8 million Vietnam Era Veterans. Two and a half million of them had cycled through Vietnam. We would never allow another Vietnam to happen again.
Discrimination would vanish by the time we hit our mid-thirties. We were free of the racism our parents and grandparents dragged around with them.
The Equal Rights Amendment, would become a reality because in 1972, it had passed both houses of Congress and we were the people who were going to vote to ratify it.
The unlawful drug we were passing around would soon be legal. We were the ones who would vote to overturn all anti-marijuana laws.
They might have the guns, the cops, and the politicians on their side, but we had the more powerful weapon. We were going to outlive the bastards.
Well … If Alan Greenspan can admit he made a HUGE mistake then I too can say a belief I held for about 20 years of my life was absolutely overwhelmingly wrong. And I won't recant like that weasel.
My grandparents are dead. My parents are dead. But the one glaring fact I didn't take into consideration was:
Money Never Dies.
I confused the minions of The Elite … with The Elite. What the hell … I was stoned OK? I made a simple mistake. A Great Big Simple Mistake.
Capitalism works best when it's Ozzie and Harriet all the time. Lawrence Welk's muzak, American Idol, Las Vegas and Shopping Malls were designed to keep us unconscious. Oppression is used when the people wake up.
In the meantime the Republicans are staying on their generations old message. They will take us back to when life was just about as good as it could get … if you were a white man. They've sanctified Ronald Reagan because he told the bedtime story best. For those whose brains are only nourished on sound-bites, the fable reverberates as if true. The bullies and bigots love it when their hateful ideas are expressed well via William F. Buckley and Saint Ronnie.
When the Tea Party showed up it was because the Koch brothers paid for it. Billionaires pump money to keep the Gingrich and Santorum campaigns afloat, and Mitt Romney's Financial Backers are the Who's Who of Big Banks and Corporations. Money never dies. It just seeks out new hosts who appreciate working with blood sucking ticks.
If my grandfather were alive he would have watched Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor rally in 2010. Now I hear the tenets of the twisted Christianity he adhered to coming out of Rick Santorum's mouth. My grandfather's dead but his place has been filled by someone else who wants to take the country back.
The Republicans promise a return to a time that most American voters have never lived in. A time they believe in more strongly than the Garden of Eden.
Y'know … my world turned upside down too. A couple of times actually. But I never wanted to go back to any previous time in America's history. I wanted to go to a possible future.
My first mistake was in not understanding the undying malevolence of money. And secondly I got the demographics all wrong. There weren't nearly enough pot smokers necessary to pull off my kind of passive revolution.
As Jerry Garcia of The Grateful Dead said, "Somebody has to do something, and it's just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us."

My Favorite(?) Excerpt
The discrepancy between the kind of society many Germans thought they were building and the reality of the horror of the Third Reich presents one of the most intriguing questions of our age. How could Fascism -- have happened in a modern, industrialized, educated nation?

Deep Green Resistance - Strategy to Save the Planet
Aric McBay, Lierre Keith, and Derrick Jensen
For years, Derrick Jensen has asked his audiences, "Do you think this culture will undergo a voluntary transformation to a sane and sustainable way of life?" No one ever says yes.
Deep Green Resistance starts where the environmental movement leaves off: industrial civilization is incompatible with life. Technology can't fix it, and shopping—no matter how green—won't stop it. To save this planet, we need a serious resistance movement that can bring down the industrial economy. Deep Green Resistance evaluates strategic options for resistance, from nonviolence to guerrilla warfare, and the conditions required for those options to be successful.

The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder
by Vincent Bugliosi
"I hope that at some time in the near future a courageous U.S. attorney general, U.S. attorney, state attorney general, or district attorney in America who is committed to the rule of law and who has dedicated his career to enforcing the law fairly against all who, big or small, violate it, will hear the cries for justice from the graves of the thousands upon thousands of men, women, and children who had their lives violently cut short because of the lies of a man who smiled through it all. And that, with a sense of uncompromising righteousness, he will take the ample case I have laid out in this book before an American jury to let them decide whether George W Bush is guilty or not guilty of murder, and if so, what his punishment should be.
Even if this doesn't happen and what I have said in this book receives all the attention of a new fly in the forest, I do know that someone had to say what is written on the pages of this book."
From The Prosecution of George W. Bush For Murder by Vincent Bugliosi, page 168.
Family of Secrets: The Bush Dynasty, the Powerful Forces That Put It in the White House, and What Their Influence Means for America
by Russ Baker
How did Bush happen? How did George W. Bush, of all people, rise to the most powerful position in the world? This simple question sparked a five-year investigative odyssey by Russ Baker. What he found will force us to rethink virtually everything we thought we knew about the Bush family and its role in shaping recent American history.
In FAMILY OF SECRETS, Baker reveals that Bush, the people around him, and his policies are but an extreme, very public manifestation of what his family and its circle have always been about: an interlocking web of covert and overt machinations on behalf of a small cluster of elites-social, financial, industrial, military, intelligence-that enabled the Bush dynasty and propelled George W. Bush to the top.

Rules for Radicals
by Saul D Alinsky
"What follows is for those who want to change the world from what it is to what they believe it should be. The Prince was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power. Rules for Radicals is written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away."
In 1971, Saul Alinsky wrote an entertaining classic on grassroots organizing titled Rules for Radicals.
For Alinsky, organizing is the process of highlighting what is wrong and convincing people they can actually do something about it.

The End of America: Letter of Warning To A Young Patriot
by Naomi Wolf
In a stunning indictment of the Bush administration and Congress, best-selling author Naomi Wolf lays out her case for saving American democracy. In authoritative research and documentation Wolf explains how events of the last six years parallel steps taken in the early years of the 20th century's worst dictatorships such as Germany, Russia, China, and Chile.

The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism
by Naomi Klein
Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine advances a truly unnerving argument: historically, while people were reeling from natural disasters, wars and economic upheavals, savvy politicians and industry leaders nefariously implemented policies that would never have passed during less muddled times. As Klein demonstrates, this reprehensible game of bait-and-switch isn't just some relic from the bad old days. It's alive and well in contemporary society, and coming soon to a disaster area near you.

Good beer; Good food; Good serviceBy: Rachel Zirin, Senior Reporter
Doyle's Pub and Taproom
312 E. Bidwell Street
Hours: 11:30 a.m.-11 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday; 11:30 a.m.-12 a.m. Friday & Saturday; 11:30 a.m.-9 p.m. Sunday
Happy Hour: 3 p.m.-6 p.m. Tuesday-Friday - $2 off appetizers, $1 off drafts & wine, $5 select cocktails
If you are looking for that homey-feel away from home, Doyle's Pub and Taproom may be your new spot.
Hidden in a historic shopping center at the end of E. Bidwell Street, this little gem is not what it appears from the outside.
Owners Melanie Ottersen and Pat Doyle opened their hometown pub in 2015 and have strived on servicing their guests with exactly what they want – good beer, good food and good service.
The two partners, in life and business, met nearly 10 years ago in the restaurant industry and combined have close to 30 years of experience.
"This is what we have always done," said Doyle. "I think it was just a natural progression for us to open our own place. A few years back, we saw craft beer kind of take a head, and we thought it was a good opportunity."
With 18 taps, Doyle's has a variety of options for any beer drinker. Ottersen said they have a balanced list, and it was important to them that they had something for everyone.
Doyle said all the taps rotate regularly, but there is always one that never changes.
"It was really important for us to have one beer on tap that is really light and easy to drink," Ottersen said.
Doyle's has their own light brew made especially for them by Tap It Brewing Company.
Doyle's may be beer-driven, but they offer much more.
For the non-beer drinker, Doyle's also has a full bar and bartenders with experience and skills. Doyle said they know how to make a good drink.
"We're beer-driven, but I am definitely proud of our food. I think our food is awesome," Ottersen said. "We make a lot of our items in-house which I think makes a big difference."
Doyle's menu is simple and straightforward, but well-thought out. At Doyle's customers can count on fresh ingredients and fresh food.
"None of our meats are frozen; our produce is always fresh," Doyle said. "Something that means more work on our end, but the end result is a much better product. We have the best wings in Folsom. I wish there was some kind of secret, but it's just fresh products."
Popular menu items include the Doyle burger, nachos, the bacon grilled cheese, the southwest BBQ chicken salad, wings and more, Ottersen said.
Something unique that Doyle's offers on their menu is called Roll the Dice. For $3.50, customers will get a die to roll. On the bar there are canisters labeled one through six. Whatever number the die lands on, the customer gets a shot of whatever is under the corresponding numbered canister.
"That is our No. 1 selling drink. It's a lot of fun," Doyle said. "We originally did it to get rid of some bottles we didn't use, but it just took off. Now we're searching for fun bottles to put in there."
Another unique aspect of Doyle's is there is a fridge in the back full of rare bottles for purchase.
When asked what they favorite part about their business was, Doyle and Ottersen both said working together.
"My favorite part is working with my partner, my mate," Doyle said. "Some people can't imagine spending a bunch of time with their significant other, but we met at work, so it has always been natural for us. I personally like getting up and going to work, and she's here."
Ottersen said she doesn't know if they would have opened Doyle's if one of them did it without the other.
"It's nice to be together. We are here all the time," she said. "We enjoy the fruits of our labor. We're successful, we're doing well and we did it together."
When it all comes down to it, Doyle said the bottom line is they thrive on treating their customers the right way.
"There are a lot of places that have let their service fall by the wayside, but it is something we take very seriously," he said. "We want to give the people what they want."

Today was a great day! I went hiking with Bob and Heather (and Winston!). We did Larch Mtn in 6.5 hours!
I had to stop and stretch on a rock. The moss made it nice and soft!
It was a great hike, even though the summit was fogged in. Winston did a great job too!
Thanks guys for an awesome hike!
When I got home, it was all business. Into the kitchen I went to find a recipe for Daikon. And boy, did I thanks to Angela Liddon of Osheglows.com
Asparagus and Daikon Salad
Adapted from Ohsheglows
10 asparagus stalks, cut into 1 inch pieces
2 daikons, washed, peeled and cut into circles
1 T olive oil
1/4 c. lemon juice
1 t. garlic powder
1 t. sea salt
1/2 t. ground pepper
1.5 T. mustard
1 T. water
1/2 t. maple syrup (to balance out mustard)
1/2 T. nutritional yeast (optional)
2 T. fresh chives
2 T. fresh dill
1 bunch green onions
1/2 c. edamame
Place veggies into steamer basket and steam for 5 five minutes, until you can put a fork through them.
In the meantime, mix all dressing ingredients into large bowl.
Add steamed veggies and mix to coat. Serve warm or cold.
The Daikon gives off a slight bitter taste which I enjoy. I am excited to try roasting these!! Let me know what you think!

In this article you will learn about ChakraCore, the JavaScript Engine by Microsoft. This is part 30 of the article series.
JavaScript is a language of Web. This series of articles will talk about my observations learned during my decade of software development experience with JavaScript.
Before moving further let us look at the previous articles of the series:
In this article, I am going to explore new JavaScript Engine Chakra by Microsoft. Introduction
ChakraCore is a new JavaScript engine developed by Microsoft. It doesn't support IE9. The cool thing about ChakraCore is that it is OSS (Open Source Software). ChakraCore is the core part of the Chakra JavaScript engine and source code is available at GitHub.
Microsoft implemented a V8 API shim (aka ChakraShim) which takes advantage of ChakraCore runtime hosting APIs (JSRT). Many developers supported this as it is going to be big and awesome stuff. Node.js also welcomed this step that Microsoft coming closer to Node.js. We know Microsoft is an early adopter of Node.js.
JSRT APIs provide a way to embed ChakraCore into applications. It is part of the Core project. Refer architecture diagram.
JavaScript engine using the JSRT APIs depends on two key concepts: runtime and execution contexts. It also allows embedding Chakra outside of client-only scenarios also,
Building ChakraCore Since it is OSS and available at GitHub you could download source code from GitHub and build using Visual Studio:
Embedding ChakraCore It can be embedded via JSRT APIs and Azure DocumentDB was one of the other programs which uses Chakra to provide JavaScript programmability. DocumentDB is NoSQL document oriented database which is built to support JSON & JavaScript. Therefore, it's good for DocumentDB to leverage Chakra to process JavaScript.
To read more details. Summary I am eagerly looking forward to leveraging ChakraCore in Node.js and cross platform applications. I am sure you must be as well. Please share your feedback / comments.

Located throughout the spawn city are a few banks. These buildings can be spotted easily by the large dollar sign on their exterior. At each bank players are able to store money, xp, and items. Players can also earn interest based on the amount they have stored in the bank. The bank is only usable by players with the rank member or higher.
Money and Experience:
NOTE: You Must Have Member Rank Or Higher To Access The Banks.
Money and xp can be deposited and withdrawn from signs along the back wall of the bank. When you right click on a sign, it will cycle through bank modes. If you want to withdraw money or exp just set the mode to Withdraw and enter the amount of money or the levels of experience you want to withdraw in the chat window. You personal balance and bank balance will then be updated.
To deposit you right click on the sign and cycle to the Deposit mode. Again enter the amount you want to deposit in the chat window.
You can also wire money from your bank account directly to other players bank accounts by using the Transfer option on the sign. When you have Transfer selected, just enter in the players name(cap sensitive) followed by the amount. Ex: Aru 5000, to send the player "Aru" 5000 Dollars.
Interest is paid out every 24 hours based on the amount of money you have in the bank.
To see the server's interest rate and disbursion timer, use the command /sb interest.
To see your current balance and levels in the Bank, use /sb balance.
Players can also store a limited number of items in each bank using a special chest. The amount of Bank storage a player can store increases with Player Ranks. Everyone uses the same chest but each player will only see the items that he or she has deposited.
Use the bank as a safe place to store experience and items, and as a way to make just a little extra income.

Designers on the Front Lines
One of the things I'm going to miss from my commute between Brighton and Tunbridge Wells is the podcasts. I'm not saying I have to stop listening, but the spare time afforded me a great opportunity to catch up. There's a large list of shows which I should highlight at some point but one of my favourites is Andy Clarke and Anna Debenham's Unfinished Business.
Listening last night, Andy said something that made me yell a Partridge-esque 'Absa-bloody-exactly' about setting expectations. He emphasised the important of setting them at the first meeting and definitely before any contracts are drawn up.
A client hires us because we have a skill set they don't have. We must correctly tell them how we're going to go about identifying and solving their problems. If they don't like our methods, we should politely recommend another designer/developer/agency rather than start a project that is going to leave the team, client, and end users frustrated and disillusioned.
Talk to clients about what you love
If we clearly and correctly inform the client from the beginning about our processes, whether Agile, Waterfall or a hybrid of the two, and back these decisions up with professionalism, experience and passion, a client cannot be anything other than impressed and reassured.
We have to end the days of sales teams venturing out on their own, clients want to meet the individuals that will be getting their hands dirty, they want to know how we'll go about it and why we make the decisions we do. This is the only way they'll be able to decide if your organisation is the right fit for them and vice versa.
Designers - it's not enough to expect other colleagues to deal with clients anymore. You have to own the product you're designing.

During the start of the New Year, a majority of people make resolutions about losing weight, eating better, and living a healthy lifestyle. Yet, still filled with good intentions, the month of January has come and gone, and you still haven't starting moving.
You probably already know that changing old habits is really REALLY hard, but now it's time to face your excuses head on so that you can overcome them. Having been in the fitness industry for over 20 years, here are some of the most common excuses I've heard for skipping exercise, along with a few suggestions to combat them and make this year a bit easier for you.
"I Don't Have Time" - If you fall into this category, then it's time to review your daily priority list. Certainly there is something less important that you are doing for 30 minutes everyday than can be replaced with exercise. After all, exercise is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your family to ensure that you live a long, full, healthy life.
"I Don't Know What Exercises To Do" - There are literally dozens of ways to learn what exercises will help you. Of course, a great way to ensure your workouts are most effective is to hire a personal trainer. Even if you can't afford to hire a trainer, there are still hundreds of books, online websites, TV shows and videos that offer loads of advice and tips.
"I'm Too Old To Get Started" - It may sound cliché, but you are never too old to get started. Everyone can benefit from exercising. Even if you are a senior over the age of 65 with pre-existing medical conditions, you can reap many rewards from starting an exercise program. You'll be able to walk the stairs easier, play with your grandchildren, improve your balance, strength, quality of life, and more.
"I Just Can't Seem To Get Motivated" - Being healthy is a lifestyle, so try not to view exercise as a lifetime evil.
- Begin by setting small, measurable, short-term goals to help you get started. Avoid abstract goals such as "planning to exercise". Instead, start with a more concrete promise to starting taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Then you might progress to scheduling ten minutes of physical activity a couple of times per day--onto performing thirty minutes of cardiovascular exercises at least three times a week.
- Make a list of all the positive benefits exercising has on your life. Your list might include giving you more energy, reducing your health ailments and more. This list should be pretty long. Post it somewhere that you will see it regularly and it can serve as a reminder to you as to why you need to workout.
- Change your routine to reduce the temptation not to workout. For example, take your workout clothes with you to work so you can go directly to the gym afterwards, or plan to go to bed earlier at night so you can make a commitment to exercise first thing in the morning.
- Find a workout partner. If you know a friend or family member is waiting for you at the gym, it will be harder to bail out on them. also, try to seek out someone who's just a step above your current fitness level for the biggest benefits.
Let me know what you are planning to do improve you health in 2017.

The bicycle sits in the garage unused dusty with flat tires. It held such promise last year when it was cleaned up and shiny with a bit of an edge to it that said, "Let's go!" Almost every day you walk past it promising yourself you will soon take that ride you have promised yourself. It's such good exercise and you are determined to bring back that svelte body to the shape it is meant to be.
Such promises hold the possibility of results that are beyond what you ever thought could be your reality.
Your mind swoons over the picture of how you will look in the mirror after you have ridden your bike all summer. The diet will change too, you'll see. It's in the bag. It's a done deal. No more fooling around.
This time you are more serious than you have ever been. Determination has become your middle name.
The dream is alive in you. The bike simply needs to be dusted off, tires pumped up some oil for the gears and away you go. Don't forget to buy new gloves so blisters don't flare up. A new helmet of racing quality is also a good idea.
Now all the external equipment is in place. It was last year too.
This time you really, really mean it. You look in the mirror point your index finger at that beautiful face of yours and declare your promise to yourself.
Now take a few minutes. Sit quietly, go inside to the energy center within and affirm your knowing of the truth.
You are all that you are intended to be in this moment. You will ride your bike and know that the promise you are fulfilling is one of acknowledging your gorgeous essence.

Personal development is about bettering yourself and taking on things that improve upon who you are as a person. It involves gaining knowledge about yourself, and fulfilling your personal goals. This article is your source for top-flight self-improvement strategies. Concentrating on one large change at a time, will make your metamorphosis easier.
Happiness is often lost to stress. Being subjected to sustained and extreme stress can have negative mental and physical repercussions. Stress is an obstacle to accomplishing one's goal. Schedule a time during your day to be alone, relax, and clear your mind of everything. Taking a little bit of time for yourself will help you stay calm, and keep your goals in mind.
Try to be prepared to record your ideas no matter where you are. Pack some paper with you when you go out. Write down your idea in detail, then implement it at a later time when you can expand on the issue.
Unless you are self-sufficient, you cannot expect to be able to care for another person. Regardless of where you are on your path, whether you are thriving or failing, take the time to rest and restore yourself.
No matter what another person's position in life may be, remember to always treat them with respect. Your demeanor towards them speaks a great deal about you, and nothing about them.
Take a trip with a buddy to the movie theater as a method of conquering anxiety. You will be out and about, but not in a setting that requires a lot of social interaction. You can use the trip as an opportunity to become accustomed to the company of others.
Focus on learning how to stay calm in difficult circumstances, rather than becoming irrational and emotional. If you know how to keep a cool head during stressful times, then you will likely be able to handle most problems life sends your way. Whenever a stressful situation strikes, breathe deeply and feel your body relax.
Measuring your success is a key part of self improvement. Make short-term and long-term goals for the optimum benefit. Keeping a journal to track your accomplishments will help you to see just what you have achieved.

The 4,411-metre-high Daocheng Yading airport, being built in Garze, a predominantly Tibetan area of China's southwestern Sichuan province, will become the world's highest civilian airport when put into operation later this year, Xinhua reported on Sunday.
The airport, which officials said is aimed at boosting tourism in Garze, home to the famous monastery town of Kangding, will surpass the 4,334-metre Bangda airport, located in the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR), as the highest-altitude civilian airport, Xinhua said. The Bangda airport, built in 1994, will on Monday resume operations after being closed for several months to repair its 19-year-old runway.
The Yading airport, set to open later this year, is being built at a cost of 1.5 billion Yuan ($ 245 million). Authorities have targeted bringing in one million tourists and 1.5 billion Yuan in revenue by 2015.The move to develop tourism comes even as several towns in predominantly Tibetan Garze and neighbouring Aba have been under tight security following a spate of self-immolation protests by Tibetans.

Researcher Raúl Horacio Arenas Valdés spoke on "Satellite Technology to Prevent Crime in the State of Mexico"
, photo: Wikipedia
27 of July 2016 11:32:23
Police forces are promoting technologies to improve their strategic objectives to prevent and control crime.Science and technology are necessary instruments to improve and modernize police forces. They are also important tools for investigation and prevention of crimes, says Raúl Horacio Arenas Valdés, specialist at the Juridical Science, Criminal Justice and Public Security Research Center at the Autonomous University of the State of Mexico (UAEM).Arenas Valdés spoke on the subject "Satellite Technology to Prevent Crime in the State of Mexico," saying that satellite technology could be used to improve public security. He said that modernized administration and enforcement is needed, through more efficient institutions and more appropriate laws.He emphasized that technology could optimize the resources that police forces have at their disposal. It is important to develop research capacity and intelligence gathering expertise, using technology that is integrated with data bases.Arenas Valdés also said that a database that tracks crime rates and also has geo-referenced information on crimes would allow visualization of crime patterns, aid in investigation and identify where to focus police resources.Rigorous research is needed, not just for local and state police but also federal police and the general community. He said that modernizing the technology employed by police forces will increase efficiency, professionalism, and respect of human rights, which will all serve to increase public confidence in the police.

With the move fast approaching, it's time to start packing. I have always found, when I move, that even as "packed" as I think I am on moving day, items come crawling out of the cupboards and from deep within the closet. More often than not, those random rogues end up in a garbage bag, since there are no more boxes left. That bag (or two or three) of junk, gets loaded last, unloaded first, and ends up at the back of some closet or in deep storage (since it's not labeled) at the new place, not to be seen or heard from until the next move.
This time I am going to do everything in my power to avoid simply herding junk from one home to the next. I intend on sorting my belongings with as much scrutiny as humanly possible. I simply can't hold onto ALL of Thomas's outgrown clothes. I haven't worn HALF of what hangs in my closet in over a year. The bottom drawer of the media dresser is full of CD's we haven't listened to since we moved in, over 20 months ago. I hang onto old bills and statements for much longer than is necessary.
For example, I went through our pots and pans on Saturday morning. I reduced our collection by just about half. Now we will only have the ones we actually use on a consistent basis, and my brother-in-law, who loves to cook, now has more pans to practice his recipes with. Also, looking toward a future with no dishwasher, it will be easier and more necessary to clean up from cooking as soon as I am done, so I can cook again with clean pots. Hence, I will have a cleaner kitchen.
The music department gets a little more complicated. My husband and I love music. We both have ALOT of CD's and Chris has also taken the time to curate a dynamic LP collection. We also recently started using a ROKU player on our TV by which we can stream Pandora and MOG, the music subscription service. Since installing that, I admit, I haven't loaded any new discs into the stereo, and the turntable is quickly collecting dust. Most of what we already own, is readily available on MOG. So the question becomes, how drastic do we downsize our music collection? Cutting down the record collection is sort of out of the question. We both feel that enjoying tunes on vinyl is a special experience. But the CD's are sort of out of control and all over the place. I guess we'll keep the ones with sentimental value, the favorites, and get rid of the rest. It would be also nice, space-wise, to get them all into CD storage albums or something.
Well, anyhow, the sorting process has begun and it does feel good to get rid of old things in order to embrace newness. Notice how I didn't write "new things"? My goal this time around, is that the empty space created by letting go,will not be cluttered back up by more stuff. Wish me luck with that one. It goes against my inner pack-rat core, and it may be nearly impossible with a growing baby! I will try though because the soul of this new house epitomizes simplicity, and I intend to glorify that in every way possible.

The Gospel writer Matthew remembers well the place of Egypt on the story of God. Features the classic land of refuge for everyone fleeing disaster in Palestine. It was the land of food for Jacob's sons, saved from famine by their brother, Joseph, the dreamer turned protector of Egypt (Genesis 42-48).

We have all heard it before. We've all conveyed its message to others. Really it is like magic, a spell, a superstition if you will. It is called Murphy's Law. According to Wikipedia, Murphy's Law is, "is an adage or epigram that is typically stated as: "anything that can go wrong will go wrong."' You've been there, right? You get pulled over and ticketed the day you forgot your wallet at home. You bought a book and someone gives you the same book as a gift the next day. You swear you never get sick and then end up in the ER in isolation for a rare and potentially incurable disease. You run out of clean underwear they day you go to the gym. You wear flip flops the day you go into for your pap smear. Ugh! Those cold strip-ups! Whatever the case maybe, everything goes wrong.
It got me wondering, what is the opposite of Murphy's Law? Anything that can go right will go right? Hmmm. Is that the whole illusive "power of positive thinking" mumbo-jumbo? They've repackaged it now and it is called The Secret. Some say it is a matter of putting out the right energy into the universe and getting the same kind back. Me? I call it trusting in God. Either way, I think the concept is the same. It is a fabulous counter to Murphy's Law, but I think we need a different law. Yes! One that states, when you think something bad will happen, you get a surprise twist instead. Maybe it is a writer thing, but I love a good twist. Although, I am sure readers appreciate them too. This law could be called the Gotcha Law. It would be epic! You get pulled over on the day you left your wallet at home, but instead of a ticket, the cop only wants to show you his Gangnam Style Dance and get your input. You bought a book and the next day someone gives you the same one, but your friend accidentally left an embarrassing picture of him in women's stilletos and a clown hat inside the book that you can rib him about for the next ten years. You wear flip flops the day you have your pap smear, but instead the doctor gives you his socks and has to go through the rest of the day barefoot. You get the idea.
I really don't want the Gotcha Law to be a made up thing. I want to see this happen! Let's start a movement! Oh yeah! It's going to be epic!

TheMaster was coming to town and I'd arranged to meet him at a bar, somewhere I thought he might enjoy given he was only ever in town on business and hadn't done any 'sightseeing' so to speak.
I arrived there first and managed to get a table, so I sent him a message of where I was sitting. I was in the bathroom when he arrived and strolling back to the table I saw him sitting there with his back to me. His hair looked fairer in the light than what I remembered.
I sat down and smiled hello. He looked more gorgeous than I recalled, as I rarely get face pictures from him….his presence made me feel weak, breathless even. I'd told him in messages before that he definitely rendered me throbbing and breathless quite easily, which he was definitely pleased to hear he had such an effect.
Reaching out to touch me and stroke my arm, I was surprised at how much his presence affected me. Fuck. We ordered some drinks and chatted. He quizzed me as to why I hadn't kissed him yet despite being in a place where no one knew me, so I leaned over and let him give me a delicate kiss.
After finishing our drinks and some food we'd ordered, he paid (although I offered to pay for mine) and we stepped outside to enjoy the view of the city. We kissed and he quickly suggested 'getting out of there' so he could fuck me. Exiting the bar, we managed to find ourselves alone in the elevator, so I jumped up to pash him, wrapping my legs around him to hold myself up. Walking into the lobby, he thoughtfully asked me, being in my hometown, did I want him to hold my hand or just walk out casually together? We walked out casually together onto the street and grabbed a cab.
After directing the driver, we didn't waste time enjoying each other's presence although it was a short cab ride. We pulled up at the discrete entrance to where he was staying and went up to his room. Putting my things down as we got inside, we undressed and TheMaster voiced his appreciation of my body and what I was wearing. I knelt down and took his cock in my mouth, wrapping my juicy lips around it and sucking it firmly. I continued kissing him up his torso, jumping up as I made it to his lips. Carrying me to the bedroom, he tossed me on the bed and got to work doing what he did best.
Working his tongue inside me and nibbling on my clit, it didn't take long to have me squirming in pleasure and he obviously couldn't wait to fuck me too. Placing my legs together and lifting them straight up, he filled me deeply with his cock. Thrusting in and out of me, hitting all the right spots, he was just as incredible as our last play date. He tilted my legs to the side and continued to fuck me slowly, deeply, with alternating strokes of his cock. I climaxed in a delicious fashion, immediately feeling a high of energy and ecstasy.
I'd parked my car nearby where he was staying, so we got dressed to collect my overnight bag which also had some play outfits in it. Returning to the room, I made sure he wasn't looking as I put on a new outfit which was a bit like a bikini one piece – lacey fabric triangles to cover my breasts and a sheer piece over the torso attached to a thong. TheMaster definitely liked this one, giving me an approving look and compliments. We kissed and I enjoyed taking his cock in my mouth again. TheMaster quickly decided that I should ride him, so I mounted him reverse-cowgirl style and lowered onto his magnificent cock. He grinded into me as I rode him and lightly played with his balls. After enjoying riding him for a few minutes, TheMaster sat up and maneuvered into doggy and continued to fuck me, filling me more and more with each thrust. It didn't take me long to climax and he pulled out of me and came all over my smooth, toned back. It all felt amazing.
Getting in the shower afterwards, we enjoyed cleaning each other and kissing under the running water. After drying off, we had some dinner and I put on another new outfit for TheMaster, similar to the previous one but a different colour and print. Parading this outfit for him, I enjoyed his appreciation of me and my body, we made our way back to the bedroom again and I decided I wanted to try 69 with him as I'd only had my first experience of that earlier in the week with TheLinguist. We didn't last long there as TheMaster once again filled my pussy with his cock, thrusting deep and hard whilst I wrapped my legs around him drawing him in towards me. Leaning back, he lifted my legs to the side to get me in the spot he knew so well and I came in a blissful climax.
As we got ready to go to sleep, he sweetly asked if I had a 'side of the bed' I usually slept on. I was surprised to learn he didn't like to sleep nude but he left his shirt off for me. We enjoyed kissing and snuggling, and fell asleep wrapped in each other.
I was already half-awake when the early alarm TheMaster had set went off and he sleepily snoozed it. I made my way under the sheets to take his cock in my mouth, I was surprised he later told me that no one had ever woken him like that before. TheMaster awoke, pulling the sheets off, I made my way back up top and kissed him pressing my body against his, enjoying the feeling of his hard cock against my pussy. He quickly took charge, as he does best, and directed me to ride him. I mounted his magnificent member, enjoying the feeling of it sliding into me, filling me. A glorious climax soon ensued.
TheMaster entered me again, this time from behind, and continued to tease me with deep firm strokes building me up once again. It wasn't long before that we both climaxed in blissful ecstasy.
Afterwards, we kissed and laughed, wondering if we might be disturbing the neighbouring rooms. We got ready together and upon seeing me in my dress I had put on TheMaster expressed disappointment we didn't have more time for him to hitch up my sexy dress and fuck me in it.
I dropped him off at where he had to be for the day and as we parted ways, he told me "You are a very sexy, sexy woman". Fuck. Fuckity. Fuck. Definitely in trouble.

by Jamie Bennett
My first impression of Junction City, Ore. was that this particular town was certainly stuck in an era. In fact, you could argue that this is why we do such great business. I lived in J.C. (what the kids are calling it) for two years and I loved it's whole ambiance. It is usually grey and there are vehicles everywhere. Everything is within walking distance and if you see anyone than there's usually a pleasant exchange. That being said, our Guaranty Chevy show room was in a desperate need of a facelift and it got it. You can see some of my grand opening banners in the background and also we kept parts of the old dealership intact (far right).
The dealership needs some additional pictures for electronic and print advertising. We took photos when they first finished for our grand opening and we now want some pictures that look lived in. I wanted to pull down the grand opening banners but I was told not to. So soon I will be re-reshooting. John in Service let us bower his classic Chevy suburban. John was kind enough to let us borrow his Chevy station wagon last year for our Function for Junction ad (posted under Display Ads).
We are also shooting these photos for this years Function for Junction program. Our ad is due earlier this year and the weather has been fighting us. Function for Junction is our annual classic car show that takes place in Junction City. We (Jason Fairchild was the photographer) captured good/even lighting but the fog was thick early on in the morning. I kind of like them with the fog. It is very reminiscent of Junction City, Film Noir and Bugsy Siegel. Someone at work gave me digital copies of classic Junction City photos and there is a very similar greyness to many of those photo as well. Junction City feels like these photos look and I personally love it (not sure what that says about me but J.C. is great nonetheless). I will do some mockups where I fix the sky (similar to last year's) when I get to the originals on Monday (1/4/13).

Henry Richard, C.J. and Pramada Charan Benerji, J.
1. The suit which has given rise to this appeal was brought by the plaintiff appellant for a declaration that a sale-deed, dated the 17th of August, 1909, executed by his father Hansraj Singh in favour of Naurang Singh, the predecessor in title of the defendants, is null and void as against the plaintiff. The validity of the sale is questioned on various grounds. The lower court has dismissed the suit on the finding that the plaintiff was born after the date of the sale and is not, therefore, entitled to question its validity. It has further been found that the plaintiff was in his mother's womb when the sale was made, and it is not disputed for the purposes of this appeal that the property sold is ancestral property. The question to be determined in this appeal is whether a son who was in his mother's womb at the date of an alienation by the father, of ancestral property can contest the alienation. The decision of this question depends on the further question whether a son in the mother's womb can be deemed to be a co-owner of joint ancestral property.
2. Under the Mitakshara a son acquires an interest in ancestral property by birth, the reason for the rule being, as pointed out by Mr. Golap Chandra Sarkar in his Work on Hindu Law, page 210, 4th edition, that the father and other ancestors are reproduced in the son. The question is whether birth relates back to the period when the child was in its mother's womb. Under other systems of law, such as the Civil Law and the English Law, a child is deemed for some purposes to be born when it is in its mother's womb. This rule is in several instances recognized by the Hindu law. In the case of succession by a posthumous son he takes a share in his father's property from the date of his father's death, and he is regarded as being in existence though he is only in his mother's womb and not actually born until afterwards. Again, in the case of partition, a son in utero at the time of partition is deemed to be in existence and the partition may either be postponed or a share should be set apart for him. See Strange's Hindu law, page 182, Jolly's Tagore Law Lectures, page 132, Kalidas Das v. Krishan Chandra Das (1869) 2 B.L.R. 103 F.B.; Mayne's Hindu Law, Section 472, 7th edition). It has also been held that the 'rights of a son in the womb could not be defeated by a will made by the father.' Hanmant Ramchandra v. Bhimacharya (1887) I.L.R. 12 Bom. 105 and Minakshi v. Virappa (1884) I.L.R. 8 Mad. 89. So that, in the cases of succession, partition and will, a son in the womb has been regarded as one in esse. There is nothing to show that in the case of an alienation by sale a different rule obtains. Our attention has not been called to any text of Hindu Law in which an alienation has been excluded from what is deemed to be the general rule. The courts below have relied on a passage in Mr. Golap Chandra Sarkar's Hindu Law, page 210, 4th edition, which is as follows : - 'A child in the womb is not entitled to all the rights of a child in esse. A son's right of prohibiting an unauthorized alienation by the father, of ancestral property cannot be exercised in favour of an unborn son.' The learned author has referred to the case of Mussamut Goura Chowdhrain v. Chummun Chowdry (1864) W.R. Gap. No. 340 as an authority for the proposition laid down by him. That case no doubt supports his view, but it was dissented from by the Madras High Court in Sabapathi v. Somasundram (1892) I.L.R. 16 Mad. 76. The learned Judges held that 'an alienation by a Hindu to a bond, fide purchaser for value is liable to be set aside by a son who was in his mother's womb at the time of the alienation.' In the recent case of Sri Datla Venkata Subba Raju Garu v. Gatham Venlcatrayudu : (1914)27MLJ580 , the same court assumed that a son could contest an alienation made by his father at a time when the son was in his mother's womb. The same view appears to have been adopted by the Bombay High Court. (See West and Buhler's Hindu Law, page 803). We agree with this view. Both on authority and on principle we are of opinion that a son subsequently born alive is competent to contest an alienation made by the father when the son was in the womb. The court below was, therefore, wrong in dismissing the suit on the ground on which it dismissed it. We allow the appeal, set aside the decree of the court below and remand the case to that court with directions to re-admit it under its original number in the register and dispose of the other questions which arise in the case. Costs here and hitherto will be costs in the cause.

It's just over six years since I fastened the first component to this frame and four or five years since I completed the first build on a long road to making this the best example of a restored TI-Raleigh Team Pro 753 that I could make, and now the time has come to take SB4059 apart. Yes, I am taking it apart to make it even better. Each step in building SB4059 has added a bit more accuracy and detail. Then a little while ago I blogged about fitting some NOS black Campagnolo brake cables, which meant that there were only two more items stopping this bike from being perfect, they were the top tube and Reynolds frame transfer, transfers that have really bugged me since day one of the journey.
TI-Raleigh Joop Zoetemelk Team Bike Specification from SBDU
I'm frequently asked about the specification of TI-Raleigh's team bikes. The most popular search terms I see on my blog stats and the most viewed blog posts relate to 'specifications'. However, the question about specification isn't an easy question to answer by any means! Professional teams, not just TI-Raleigh, had a range of kit they would use. Each race was different and each stage of each race was different. Different gear ratios were used, different derailleurs, different rims, different tubs, depending on the road surface, conditions and stage type. Each rider was also different. So how do you answer that question when there are so many variables?
