Mon – NO SCHOOL – LABOR DAY!
POSSIBLE MENU CHANGE: This Tuesday, 9/4/18, the menu may change from the hot dog meal listed, to Cook's choice, due to the picnic.
OLOSS "BEE" KIND CLUB: This year our students are recognized for acts of kindness and generosity that are noticed by school staff. The Bee Kind students recognized on 8/24 were: PK – Maddie St. George – always being so kind to her friends, K – Oliver Hagenhoff – helping another student with their milk carton, 1st – Abby Eickhoff – sharing her pencil with another student, 2nd – Jacob Eickhoff – sharing his toys at recess, 3rd – Alyssa Eickhoff – holding the door for the whole class, 4th – Leah Koetting – helping another student pick up a mess, 4th – Trenton Lage – set a great example at Mass on first day of school by helping others follow along and by his great participation, 5th – Oliver Burrows – always being willing to help others, 6th – Emma Goetz – always encouraging her classmates, 7th – Aly Haeffner – helping get the classroom ready, 8th – Matthew Beck – helping after school/putting names on classroom doors. All acts of kindness "bees" are displayed in the school cafeteria. Great job, students!
BOOK FAIR! Our annual Scholastic Book Fair night will be Tuesday, Sept. 11, from 6:00 to 7:30 pm. Students will be able to shop and participate in fun and games and earn bonus reading counts points. Make plans now to attend this fun-filled evening!
GRANDPARENTS DAY! On Wednesday, Sept. 12, we will celebrate Grandparents Day at OLOS School. Please contact grandparents now so that they may mark their calendar. If grandma or grandpa can't make it, feel free to come yourself or ask a "substitute grandparent" to enjoy the morning with your child. We will celebrate Mass at 8:00 am (students may sit with grandparents at church), then we will move to the school gymnasium for fun and fellowship. Grandparents may also shop the bookfair with their grandchild if they so wish. The morning festivities should conclude around 10:00 – 10:30.
COLLECTION ENVELOPES FOR WEDNESDAY MASS: This year we are asking each student to bring in a bag of change from home to keep at school. On Tuesday afternoons the students will get their envelope ready in the classroom. This could be something the student has earned himself/herself (best) or loose change provided by the parent. We will begin this process after the picnic, so please send in your child's money before Wednesday, to the classroom, in a marked container or bag. Thank you for your help!
EMERGENCY DRILLS: We will be conducting emergency drills over the next several weeks, continuing with the tornado drill next week. Classroom teachers discuss these drills with students beforehand, but it may be a good idea to discuss these at home with your younger children ahead of time.
HEALTH SCREENINGS: Miller County Health nurses will be here on September 21st to screen the students for hearing, vision, height, weight, to do head checks, and to review immunization records.
PICNIC WEEKEND!!! As we all know, this weekend our parish hosts its annual Parish Picnic. Please pray for good weather (cooler) for this, our biggest fundraiser of the year, and perhaps some rain beforehand to settle the dust and green it up a little. Please see that your children all get to their assigned jobs and remain on duty the entire time they are scheduled. Also, if you are able to help set up/clean up on Friday, Saturday, and/or Monday, please pitch in and help out – which is always so appreciated! May God bless us all and bless all of our guests on this working holiday weekend! Happy Labor Day everyone, and we'll see you back on TUESDAY!
Fri – No School - Picnic Prep.
COLLECTION ENVELOPES FOR WEDNESDAY MASS: We are going to try something a little different this year for the Wednesday Mass. Through the last several years, the students were given envelopes to place in the collection basket at Mass to encourage the habit of tithing. We are continuing this practice. However, this year we are asking each student to bring in a bag of change from home to keep at school. On Tuesday afternoons the students will get their envelope ready in the classroom. This could be something the student has earned himself/herself or loose change provided by the parent. We will begin this process after the picnic, but you can go ahead and send your child's in to the classroom, in a marked container or bag. Thank you for your help!
PARENTS WELCOMED! You are always encouraged to attend Mass with the school children on Wednesdays, especially if your child's class is involved with the ministry.
EMERGENCY DRILLS: OLOS School will be conducting emergency drills over the next several weeks, continuing with the intruder drill next week. Classroom teachers will discuss these drills with students beforehand, but it may be a good idea to discuss these at home with your younger children ahead of time, so that they are not overly anxious.
FANTASY NIGHT! Please find enclosed a volunteer form to be filled out and returned on Monday. The Fantasy Night fundraiser is our biggest, and requires ALL families to participate. Also enclosed is the flyer for the event. Please post these anywhere you are able. Tickets for this event will be available for sale before the parish picnic. All are welcome to attend the planning meeting on Wednesday evening at 6:00 pm at school.
HEAD CHECKS: OLOS School volunteers will be performing head checks on a fairly routine monthly basis, and will do the first check on Thursday afternoon. Please be vigilant at home by checking your child's hair every so often. You may want to go over with this topic with your new student, as the little ones never quite understand why we are looking at their hair so closely!
DIOCESAN ADVOCATES: In the folder handed out at open house, there was a form to return that dealt with E-rate. If we get full participation on the return of this form, the school receives a discounted rate on phone & technology services. Please return yours, if you have not already done so. Thank you!
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND AND PRAY FOR RAIN!
WELCOME ALL! We are off to a great start for the 2018-19 school year and are looking forward to an educational and fun year. We welcome everyone back and especially welcome all our newcomers, Daxton Boessen (PK), Henry Doerhoff (PK), Cashton Evers (PK), Esdon Koetting (PK), Logan Markway (PK), Elsie Schulte (PK), Madison St. George (PK), Ryan Russell (1), Amber Grellner (5/6 Teacher), Marianna Werdehausen (7/8 Teacher), & Father Alex Gabriel. We are so glad to have you here as part of the OLOS School family!
EMERGENCY DRILLS: OLOS School will be conducting emergency drills over the next several weeks, beginning with the fire drill next week. Classroom teachers will discuss these drills with students beforehand, but it may be a good idea to discuss these at home with your younger children ahead of time, so that they are not overly anxious.
HEAD CHECKS: OLOS School volunteers will be performing head checks on a fairly routine monthly basis. Please be vigilant at home by checking your child's hair every so often. We will be checking heads in August so if your daughter comes home with her hair down (and you had it up in a ponytail, for instance), that is probably the reason. This is another topic you may want to go over with your new student, as the little ones never quite understand why we are looking at their hair so closely!
SUMMER GUN RAFFLE WINNERS: Congratulations to these winners! May – Norbert Prenger, Jr (Ruger American Pistol), D. J. Evers (Henry .22); June – Travis Graham (Ruger SR9 9 mm), Pam Veit (Mossberg Patriot Walnut Scope); July – Todd Rockett (Ruger American Rifle), Michael Rayhart (Smith & Wesson M & P Shield 9mm); August – Brad Adrian (Ruger American Rifle), Aaron Sandbothe (Ruger American Pistol).

Grandparents may also shop the bookfair with their grandchild if they so wish. The morning festivities should conclude around 10:00 – 10:30.
SUMMER BABY! Anna Berry (K) is proud new big sister to little brother, Carter Eugene Berry, born on May 31, 2018. Carter joins older sisters MacKenzie and Anna in the home, and proud parents, Brooke & John. Please pray for this happy family as we welcome little Carter to this big world!
DEADLINE FOR FRIDAY NOTES: Thursdays, 9:00 am. If you have items for the Friday notes, please write these items up, send them in, or email them to olosschoolsecretary@gmail.com (call to let me know you have emailed please). I don't mind doing a little editing and rewording, but the bulk of the item should be outlined with details. All non-school related flyers need to be copied ahead of time on paper. The school cannot afford to supply paper for outside events). Upon approval by the principal, the information will then be placed in the Friday folder as a courtesy. It is not appropriate for the school to send out extraneous information that can be handled other ways.
STUDENTS EATING SCHOOL LUNCHES: Students may choose a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in lieu of the main entrée if they have a note from home. They must bring a note on the day that the substitution is desired and must present it to the classroom teacher first thing in the morning. Please note that the "main entrée" is the protein item. For example, if our meal is vegetable soup with grilled cheese & string cheese, the substitution would be for the cheese sandwich & string cheese, not for the vegetable soup.
-Save those "Box Tops" found on many, many groceries & other misc. items – worth 10 cents each. The school received $58 over the summer for cartridges turned in. Thanks to all for helping out!

SUMMIT COUNTY, Colo. -- Two high-profile incidents involving moose last weekend have been resolved thanks to help from the public, while officials are searching for two men involved in a third encounter, Colorado Parks and Wildlife said Wednesday.
Wildlife officials said social media helped played a role in finding those responsible and helped educate the public about the dangers of approaching moose.
"If high-profile cases like this serve to spread the word, whether through social media or the grapevine, that alone has accomplished much of what we are trying to do to inform the public," district wildlife manager Elissa Slezak said.
"It was encouraging to see how many local folks are already aware of the dangers relating to moose, so there is definitely some community self-policing going on."
On Friday, a photo of a man standing next to an agitated moose in Frisco went viral on social media.
Wildlife officers received several tips and were able to quickly identify the man, who was detained by the Frisco Police Department later that evening.
"We know who he is and have attempted to contact him about the moose incident," Slezak said. "We'll evaluate the situation and make a determination about how to proceed when we meet with him."
Also on Friday, a woman in Summit County posted video on social media of her feeding a moose through the window of her vehicle.
Wildlife officials said because of backlash from the public, the woman removed the video.
Wildlife officers found the woman on Monday and wrote her a citation for illegal feeding of wildlife and gave her a warning for harassment of wildlife.
"She expressed remorse for what she did," Slezak said. "She realizes now what a mistake it was, and we believe she has learned a valuable lesson.
"When you consider how severe the response from the public was, I can say she's paid for her mistake. In fact, I would say the public's response is probably more of a deterrent than the citation she received."
Wildlife officials said a third incident involving moose was discovered when two young men approached and tried to touch an animal in Frisco's Drake Landing neighborhood about three weeks ago.
The moose kicked at one of the men with its front leg, appearing to make contact. It's not known if there were any injuries.
"That video is disturbing because the moose appears to actually strike the individual," Slezak said. "That could have easily led to a severely injured young man and we would have had to put that moose down."
Anyone can report incidents of wildlife harassment by calling 877-265-6648.

Maybe This Is Why They Called Him "The Lip"

We're bringing back our popular "Dark Side of the Locker Room" series, which you'll remember was a compendium of journalists' bizarre, amusing and previously undocumented encounters with athletes (and often athletes' genitalia). Got a story? Send it to darkside@deadspin.com.
Today's is a brief little gem from author Robert Lipsyte, a former city and sports writer for The New York Times. He is host of the forthcoming PBS weekly series on aging, Life (Part 2). Visit his web site, Robertlipsyte.com.
So there I was, late in the summer of 1969, sitting next to the Chicago Cubs' manager, Leo Durocher. I am intensely engaged because the Mets are chipping away at the Cubs' league lead. As a young reporter in 1962, I had covered the Mets' first year of existence, and now, seven years later as a young columnist, I was covering their first serious pennant run.
So I press Durocher, once a Yankee shortstop, later manager of the Giants and Willie Mays, for words of wisdom about winning and losing. He offers me perspective.
I follow the tilt of his head toward an attractive woman in the stands as he says, "Kid, show me a man who doesn't go down on his wife and I'll show you a man whose wife I can sleep with, tonight."
The Mets went on to sweep the Cubs series. They beat the Atlanta Braves for the National League title. They beat the Baltimore Orioles in the World Series. I didn't share the best advice I've ever gotten in baseball.
Again, any sports journalist out there with a story to tell — print, online, broadcast — should send it along to darkside@deadspin.com. You know you've got a million of them.

Lucy v. Adams, 350 U.S. 1 (1955), was a U.S. Supreme Court case that successfully established the right of all citizens to be accepted as students at the University of Alabama.

The case involved African American citizens Autherine Lucy and Polly Anne Myers, who were refused admission to the University of Alabama solely on account of their race or color.

The Supreme Court affirmed the lower court decision, saying that it enjoins and restrains the respondent and others designated from denying these petitioners, solely on account of their race or color, the right to enroll in the University of Alabama and pursue courses of study there.

Ready for a true ashram experience? No access to electrical outlets to charge modern gadgetry, no pass-outs given except in absolute emergencies, the usual ban on coffee, tobacco and drugs of any type. Welcome to the Ganga Darshan campus of the Bihar School of Yoga – an oasis of yoga learning and purification in the desert of modernity.
The holy mother Ganges curves protectively around Ganga Darshan. This is a place of peace, tranquility and karmic good service. It is also the home of Yoga Nidra, a meditative form of yoga that seeks to calm the mind before concentrating on the body. Literally meaning 'yogic sleep' Yoga Nidra is a progressive relaxation of the body using the power of the mind. Designed to put students into a receptive state, it is during this deep meditation that bad habits are said to be uprooted from the subconscious. It is also during this state that the legendary mind-over-matter achievements are said to have been made by the great yogis of history (dropping into a state of suspended animation is just one example).
Swami Satyananda developed this style of yoga by combining allusions in the ancient teachings to a powerful yogic state achieved through cultivation of the mind. Yoga Nidra is a highly specialized yoga form, and may not be for those who prefer a physical workout with their yoga sessions. In fact, so little emphasis is placed on the physical, that some students give up their meal times simply for the sake of getting some exercise.
The campus itself can be a little intimidating. Once a university of yoga, the institutional air is undeniable, and the high walls can make the ashram feel like something of a compound. This is no accident: life here is not a cushy retreat, it is a devoted and serious approach to good karma and self-betterment. This shouldn't deter potential visitors though – austere it may be, but Ganga Darshan is not punitive, nor is there anything sinister going on. These measures are taken to ensure the best possible results for attendees, including as few distractions from the outside world as possible. The idea is to provide a shelter from chaos, allowing peace to grow.
The course offerings are varied. Although the Teacher Training Course for foreigners has been indefinitely discontinued, the shorter courses are equally valuable. Longest of these is a 6-month Gurukul Lifestyle Course. Gurukul means 'in the home of the guru' and as such, this is a residential program. Similar courses run for 3 or 4 months, although some are only conducted in Hindi. Once a year (either right at the end, or at the very beginning) a week-long Ashram Life short-course is run. Part lesson and part orientation, this is a perfect opportunity for a potential student to gauge if they would like to stay here for longer. It's also well-suited to anyone who is time-limited.
Good service here doesn't mean waiters in white gloves. It means getting up early (4am is a typical start to the day) and engaging in the yogic tradition of selflessly serving others. The precise definition of selfless service depends on the ashram but can range from cleaning toilets to lending a hand with one of the community outreach programs run by the center. This is not slave labor, nor is it a monastery. All ashram staff work hard too, and lead by example for attendees. No-one is forced to work, although it is rare to see anyone choose not to – there is something deeply satisfying about a well-done task.
Although silence is observed during all mealtimes and from 6pm to 6am, the evening chanting sessions are an exception. It's not hard to see why this is the region where Buddha found enlightenment. After a long day, the hypnotic sound of voices lifted in thanks for the day is the ideal way to send the sun to its bed in the Ganges.
It's true that BSY is located in Munger, but it may as well be on the moon. Passouts are not easily obtained. Even though there is plenty of history in Munger (the capital city of the district Munger) this is an obscure pocket of industrial activity that is pretty far off the beaten track for outsiders. In stark contrast to the peace of the ashram is one of the largest gun factories in India, located right here in town. Weapons-dealing is a local industry here, as is the sale of cigarettes (there's a large factory making those too). Despite this, the institute is in beautiful surrounds, with an air of peace pervading the grounds and buildings.

Q: Filter a list of dictionaries by keys with different value for each key in Python I will like to know if there a simpler way to filter a list of dictionaries by keys with different value for each key in Python
I wrote this code using a list for key values and a list for keys to search. It works.
Example:
Name = "A", Email = ".com" , Phone Number = "+1 (514"

Result =
{'Name': 'Agueda Pines', 'Email': 'apines@geekpack.com', 'Phone Number': '+1 (514)206-7191', '': ''}

Code:
lst_dicts = [
{'Name':'Agueda Pines','Email':'apines@geekpack.com','Phone Number':'+1 (514)206-7191'},
{'Name':'Angie Holt','Email':'aholt@geekpack.com','Phone Number':'+1 (506)310-8876'},
{'Name':'Arlette Thurgood','Email':'athurgood@gsupptech.com','Phone Number':'+1 (204)507-4424'},
{'Name':'Aurea Luedtke','Email':'aluedtke@gsupptech.com', 'Phone Number': '+1 (306)548-8163'},
{'Name':'Christene Bousquet','Email':'cbousquet@gsupptech.com','Phone Number':'+1 (514)491-3645'},
{'Name':'Dagny Beecher','Email':'dbeecher@gsupptech.com','Phone Number':'+1 (418)870-5530'},
{'Name':'Daniel Jameson','Email':'djameson@4ti.ca','Phone Number':'+1 (647) 953-5588 ext:2555'},
{'Name':'Dominique Pinkley','Email':'dpinkley@geekpack.com','Phone Number':'+1 (403)276-5180'},
{'Name':'Evita Brunk','Email':'ebrunk@geekpack.com','Phone Number':'+1 (604)226-4880'}

]

def get_count_list_dic(self, lst_dicts, srch_txt=[], srch_Keys=[]):
        index = 0
        tmp = lst_dicts
        while index < len(srch_Keys):
                [x.append(k) for k in tmp if srch_txt[index].lower() in k[srch_Keys[index]].lower()]
                tmp = x[:]
                x.clear()
                index += 1
        return len(tmp)

A: A dictionary seems a nice way to organize your inputs. In addition, you can use sum with a generator expression utilising all:
def get_count_list_dic(lst_dicts, srch_dict):
    return sum(all(v in item[k] for k, v in srch_dict.items()) for item in lst_dicts)

d = {'Name': 'A', 'Email': '.com', 'Phone Number': '+1 (514'}

res = get_count_list_dic(lst_dicts, srch_dict=d)  # 1

The trick here is to note bool is a subclass of int, so you can sum a Boolean sequence to count the number of True elements.
An alternative, equally valid, method is to use zip with sequences of keys and values. I prefer dict since, depending on how you construct the dictionary, you have an implicit check that each key has a value attached.

A: you need a function returning boolean for testing when a key is in the key set, after which you can use filter:
len(list(filter(lambda x: '''does a key from my keys match an entry?''',
                lst_dicts)))

A: Just write a function that tests those conditions:
def sf(d):
    return 'A' in d['Name'] and '.com' in d['Email'] and '514' in d['Phone Number']

Then you can either use filter or a list comprehension to filter your list:
 >>> [d for d in lst_dicts if sf(d)]
 [{'Name': 'Agueda Pines', 'Email': 'apines@geekpack.com', 'Phone Number': '+1 (514)206-7191'}]

 >>> filter(sf, lst_dicts)
 [{'Name': 'Agueda Pines', 'Email': 'apines@geekpack.com', 'Phone Number': '+1 (514)206-7191'}]

Hyuna Demonstrated the Most Original Fan Service with a Toy Flower She Received on Stage
Hyuna is truly one of a kind.
Hyuna recently attended a college event at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies where she graced her fans with spectacular performances and fan service.
Among countless jaw-dropping performances, the one that especially stood out was Hyuna's "Bubble Pop".
As it is expected from the sexy star, she flaunted a tank top and mini skirt that showed off her stunning figure.
As soon as the music came on, Hyuna started dancing and even provided fan service such as taking selfies with her fans' phones.
But when a fan suddenly gifted her with a toy flower in the middle of her performance, she unexpectedly put it in her shirt and continued with her choreography.
Hyuna then proceeded to put the flower behind her ear and even blew a kiss before returning it to the fan as the best fan service of them all.
Watch the full footage of Hyuna's unique fan service below:

We developed the concept 'Hello Fellow' which was launched in relevant universities at school start. An IDA brand ambassador team consisting of student members was sent out to meet and greet new students.
The campaign pay-off 'Hello Fellow' expresses an invitation to all students to join the professional and social network IDA offers. Thus, the campaign makes use of student members as spokespersons. The students will meet these spokespersons face-to-face and in all the campaign materials, where personal story-telling is used to describe both the professional and social advantages of being a member.
The highly personal and visually strong campaign created considerable attention and a boost of new student members. And equally important, it strengthened the relationship between IDA and the existing members.

Anthony CotsifasDark magic Stalactite Candelabra, $27,000 as shown; The Shady Side bronze fungus candlesticks, $500 to $1,000 each; Curiosity vessels, $480 to $2,100; Ornamental Crime wallpaper available fall 2012 from Anthropologie. Go to lindseyadelman.com.
The designer Lindsey Adelman is embracing her dark side. Who knew she even had one? Since opening her New York studio in 2006, she's become known primarily for her Bubble Series chandelier, an industrially-inspired brass armature blooming with charmingly lumpy blown glass globes. It consistently tops the shopping lists of architects and designers like Peter Marino and Kelly Wearstler; a sheik in Kuwait has one, and Ivanka Trump has two in her new Park Avenue apartment. "It's almost like hanging a tree branch from your ceiling," Adelman says, who, as a design student at the Rhode Island School of Design, also dabbled in sculpture.
In her new work, however, you get the sense that nature has gone wild and completely taken over. Drippy glass stalactites are entwined in cobweb-like snarls of knotted rope. Thorny cast brass and horsehair stoppers pierce the tops of small glass vessels, while individual brass barbs screw directly into the wall in ominous clusters. In the fall, Adelman will introduce a line of hand-drawn wallpaper with Anthropologie, for which she turned the contents of her junk drawer (hair balls, X-Acto blades) into a densely baroque floral pattern inspired by English and Moorish ornamentation. And the bronze and wood candlesticks she showed last month at the Milan furniture fair emulate fungus growing on the dark side of a log. "Most of the work visually and metaphorically comes from a place that's hidden away," she says.
Lately Adelman has been hiding away herself, in an empty office space two floors below her main studio, where she has immersed herself in books about 19th-century ornamentation and photos of natural phenomena. If she has a current patron saint it's not Ray Eames but the Argentine Surrealist Leonor Fini, whose strange, erotically charged paintings often depicted women engaged in bizarre ceremonies or stripped of their flesh.

A Rocky Arthritis Awareness Month
By Juvenile Arthritis Association On June 2, 2014 · Add Comment
Two weeks ago at the Cannes Film Festival, a parade of aging action stars, including Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harrison Ford and Mel Gibson, rode into town on tanks to promote their latest film The Expendables 3. At a press conference following the parade, Mr. Stallone was asked when he and his cast mates would be too old to continue making action movies.
"Let me tell you something," Stallone responded. "We are children with arthritis. We are forever young." The crowd went wild, erupting with cheers and laughter. The film's director, Patrick Hughes, then chimed in: "We are going to put that on the poster: Expendables 3, featuring children with arthritis." More laughter.
Mr. Stallone's quote was the headline or the prominent quote featured in nearly every major news story covering Cannes that weekend, from CNN to the BBC.
If you are a parent or family member of someone with juvenile arthritis, these comments may have made your blood boil. You may be outraged at what appear to be ignorant, insensitive remarks at the expense of your child or loved one. And, perhaps, you want the perpetrators of these remarks taken to task and the record set straight.
JAA received a number of requests to reach out to Mr. Stallone. We contacted him both through a mutual friend and through official channels, and we were assured that Mr. Stallone meant no offense by his remarks. We have no doubt that this is true. Celebrities — particularly an American icon like Stallone, who has been in the public eye for over forty years — are usually well versed in public relations and don't seek to offend sick children, particularly at a press conference.
Though Mr. Stallone will likely not make this faux pas again, he is also unlikely to address it further. When Stallone referred to himself and his cast as "children with arthritis," he was trying to create an oxymoron, using "arthritis" as shorthand for "old." And, like it or not, that's an ingrained association — and one that's not entirely inaccurate. Over 90% of arthritis is osteoarthritis, which is degenerative. While osteoarthritis does affect a number of younger people as well, it is a sign of the body wearing out, so its association with aging is fairly unassailable.
Judging by the audience's reaction, everyone in the room took his comment exactly as it was intended. Further, given that the international press unflinchingly ran Stallone's quote as a headline, it's safe to say that they did not see the remarks as anything other than humorous.
Can we really blame them? Think about it. Did you know that juvenile arthritis existed before your child was diagnosed? We certainly didn't. Nor did our friends and family.
May was National Arthritis Awareness Month. The fact that the biggest headlines by far about arthritis were Mr. Stallone's comments just speaks to the dire need for much, much, much more awareness. Juvenile arthritis isn't a new disease, but it may as well be for all that people have heard of it. Efforts to raise awareness of juvenile arthritis have ostensibly been ongoing for more than 60 years, but have obviously been unsuccessful to date.
Albert Einstein said that the definition of insanity is "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." So, how do we get different results? How do we make the world aware? For starters, we suggest a simple yet significant change in messaging:
We need to stop telling the world that kids get "arthritis." Kids don't get arthritis, as most people think of arthritis. Kids get juvenile arthritis.
The biggest obstruction to juvenile arthritis awareness is the constant conflation of all forms of arthritis. Juvenile arthritis constitutes little more than one half of one percent of the arthritis population, and it's completely different from osteoarthritis, and yet we keep saying that kids get arthritis. Messages that kids have "arthritis" confuse the public and rob our children of the attention, urgency and funding that they deserve.
When the average person hears, "kids get arthritis," what goes through his head? Probably something like this: "Huh. Weird. So, do these kids have the disease in that Brad Pitt movie where they age really fast?" (Note that progeria, which affects just 250 children worldwide, has gotten more press than JA.) Then perhaps he thinks: "I guess they must have trouble opening jars until they pop a Tylenol, like in the commercials. But kids shouldn't be opening jars anyway. Their moms can do that for them. Glad that's solved." The end.
Have you ever noticed that no one ever talks about kids getting diabetes? They use the term juvenile diabetes. The two words are joined at the hip— always together.
However, that wasn't always the case. Forty or fifty years ago, "diabetes" might have been used as shorthand for "overweight," and people scratched their heads at the notion of kids getting this disease. That's because, much like the situation with arthritis, 90% of diabetes is the lifestyle-related type 2, and 80% of those with type 2 diabetes are, in truth, overweight.
In 1970, some parents founded the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation to raise funding and awareness specifically for juvenile diabetes, the autoimmune form that affects kids. For the past forty years, JDRF worked diligently to differentiate juvenile diabetes in the public's mind from the general term "diabetes." And the results speak for themselves. Today, no one confuses the two forms. There are no jokes at press conferences. Juvenile diabetes is taken seriously and regarded as a disease worthy of attention — and funding.
Currently, juvenile diabetes receives $200 million in private funding annually —over 100 times the funding going to juvenile arthritis, which affects twice the number of kids. Messaging matters. The proof is in the pudding.
Juvenile arthritis may constitute just a tiny fraction of the arthritis population at large, but in terms of children's diseases it's a monster. It's one of the most prevalent diseases affecting kids. And yet virtually every other children's disease stands on its own, often out-fundraising its adult counterpart.
The fact that juvenile arthritis has almost zero public awareness — and receives only a miniscule fraction of the funding it should — is testament to the fact that the current terminology and awareness tactics are simply altogether ineffective.
Until we stop conflating all forms of arthritis, juvenile arthritis will never get the attention and funding it deserves. We are unnecessarily encumbering ourselves with the stigma and ingrained associations that come with the term "arthritis" — associations that we will likely never succeed in changing, because they are based in fact. And those associations are costing our kids millions of dollars in research and support each year.
So, here we are… at the end of Arthritis Awareness Month … with newspapers around the world publishing headlines about children with arthritis… except the "children" they are promoting are aging action stars in combat gear.
But unlike Hollywood, our heroes are real. They are our children, and they are certainly not expendable. We owe it to them to make sure that the world knows their story, takes their disease seriously, and helps to generate the funding that will give them every chance at a bright future.
No one is suggesting that this will be easy. Change is always hard. And juvenile arthritis is an "underdog" disease. But, as Sylvester Stallone has shown better than anyone, an underdog with enough heart can go the distance.

Resolutie 789 van de Veiligheidsraad van de Verenigde Naties werd op 25 november 1992 met unanimiteit aangenomen.

Achtergrond
Nadat in 1964 geweld was uitgebroken tussen de Griekse- en Turkse bevolkingsgroep op Cyprus, stationeerden de VN de UNFICYP-vredesmacht op het eiland. Die macht werd sindsdien om het half jaar verlengd.

In 1974 bezette Turkije het noorden van Cyprus na een Griekse poging tot staatsgreep. In 1983 werd dat noordelijke deel met Turkse steun van Cyprus afgescheurd. Midden 1990 begon het toetredingsproces van (Grieks-)Cyprus tot de Europese Unie, maar de EU erkende de Turkse Republiek Noord-Cyprus niet.

Inhoud

Waarnemingen
De Veiligheidsraad:
 overweegt het rapport van de Secretaris-Generaal over zijn werk in Cyprus;
 is tevreden dat alle kwesties in de ideeënset besproken werden en dat akkoorden bereikt werden;
 verwelkomt het akkoord om opnieuw bijeen te komen in maart 1993 om de ideeënset af te werken.

Handelingen
De Veiligheidsraad bleef achter de ideeënset en de territoriale aanpassingen erin staan als basis voor een algemeen raamakkoord. Het huidige status quo was onaanvaardbaar en een akkoord moest er snel komen. Recente bijeenkomsten
hadden niet tot het gewenste resultaat geleid door standpunten van de Turks-Cyprioten. Zij werden aangemaand om zich in lijn te stellen met de ideeënset. Alle betrokkenen moesten op volgende manieren
bijdragen aan een vertrouwelijke sfeer:
 Het aantal buitenlandse troepen sterk verminderen.
 De militaire autoriteiten moesten samenwerken met de VN-vredesmacht zodat alle smalle delen van de VN-Bufferzone konden worden ontmand.
 Het uitbreiden van de VN-zone met Varosha.
 Contact tussen beide gemeenschappen bevorderen door reisbeperkingen te verminderen.
 Het verminderen van reisbeperkingen voor buitenlanders.
 Het voorstellen van gemeenschappelijke projecten.
 Het houden van een volkstelling over heel Cyprus.
 Een studie inzake de verhuizing van mensen die betrokken zijn bij de territoriale aanpassingen.

Our Head of Design and Strategy, Sara Phillips-Dowsett recently did Tokyo and this is her take on it.
It's hard to go past the amazing temples when you think of iconic Japanese architecture but for me it is all about the cute minimalist houses and buildings in cute colours with colour-blocked tiles, brass panels and modern floral panels adorning the facades.
Japanese fashion stores are also next level amazing. A few of my favourites are Prada in Aoyama, designed by Herzog & de Meuron. Next to Prada there is Miu Miu and Stella McCartney that are both equally as beautiful and unique in their architecturally modern facades.
I loved walking around the streets of Omotsando, Daikanyama and Toyama. The best Japanese houses are mid-century modern in style with contemporary colouration and design. Some are candy-coloured, some are covered in miniature tiles, and some have amazing metallic wooden accents.
This has to be the famous Shibuya crossing. I've never seen more people on one stretch of pavement in my entire life and I can tell you navigating this with a pram was not the easiest of tasks. I was on a mission to find the last cherry blossom trees still clinging on for dear life after the season ended four months earlier. Next time we go to Japan I would love to see the blossoming trees in full effect. It has to be one of the most iconic scenes in the world.
Tokyo has one of the best vintage scenes in the world (better than Paris or NYC, in my opinion). The best Japanese fashion stores for vintage are Ragtag or Kinji. Chicago is great for vintage kimonos, while BerBerJin is great for rare designer finds. There's something so effortless and cool about Japanese style. Beams is a long-time fave and Curensology is a recent obsession.
In terms of Japanese fashion trends, it's all about elongated, textural layers. For example, a silk cami with an over-sized mohair cardigan worn over a flowing maxi skirt. Layering is definitely the key with longer lengths in both tops and bottoms. I also saw a lot of strutted bucket bags on the streets from the likes of Nico Ganni or Staud.
A floral, kimono-style print with lots of beautiful, sun-faded pastel hues and lovely blooming florals.


One of the great joys of Christmas is seeing the reactions of children during the holiday season, and it seems a lot of parents will do whatever they can, even lie, to make sure their kids don't lose the excitement and wonder that comes with the holidays.
A new UK poll, which could easily translate here, finds that 86% of parents feel that it's important to keep Christmas magic alive for their kids, with three quarters of parents resorting to telling white "lies" to do so. Overall, parents will tell, on average, eight white lies over the holiday season, and they can cover a whole host of things, including that Santa's sleigh is driven by Reindeer, that Santa keeps a list of good and bad kids and more.
In addition to fibbing, parents will take lots of steps to make sure their kids believe in all that Christmas has to offer. In fact, 40% of parents say they post their kids' Christmas lists to the North Pole, while 25% will use elf on the shelf to keep them in line. And to make sure their kids still believe in Santa, 30% will track the big guy using an app.

Won't let ISIS rebuild its "terror caliphate" in Afghanistan: NATO
NATO can't allow ISIS (Daesh) to rebuild its "terror caliphate" it lost in Syria and Iraq again in Afghanistan, said NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg as reported by TOLOnews
NATO can't allow ISIS (Daesh) to rebuild its "terror caliphate" it lost in Syria and Iraq again in Afghanistan, said NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg as reported by TOLOnews. The comment came while the secretary-general was addressing the 66th NATO Parliament Assembly on Monday. Stoltenberg said the alliance is committed to supporting Afghan forces in Afghanistan.
"One of the reasons we need a strong military is for our fight against international terrorism. As we have been doing in Afghanistan for almost 20 years," he was as saying by TOLOnews.
Recently, the United States announced a further drawdown of the US troops from Afghanistan, leaving its NATO alliance in a fix. NATO which reiterated its commitment to support Afghan forces would face significant operational restrictions due to US withdrawal.
"We will be faced with a difficult choice," Stoltenberg said. "Either stay – and pay the price of a continued military engagement. Or leave – and risk that the gains we have made are lost. And that the peace process falters."
Experts suggested even if NATO decides to remain militarily engaged in Afghanistan, its presence won't be as effective as it was earlier when it had operated along with US troops.
NATO relies on the US for air support, logistics support, and medical support to operate in Afghanistan. Also, the cost of being engaged without US would be too high.
Under the US-Taliban deal signed on 29 February, the Taliban was expected to reduce violence in Afghanistan and the group was asked not to capture or attack provincial centres in Afghanistan.
The Taliban, however, departed from both the promises made in the February deal and attacked almost half a dozen provincial centres in Afghanistan.

Consumables for filter bag units.
The unit serves for rapid separation of large quantities of solid-liquid-mixtures. The sewage water flows downward through the inlet duct where it is deflected and then flows upwards through a lamella package. On this path the particles in suspension settle down onto the inclined lamellae (sedimentation) and slide subsequently into the slurry hopper. After having flown through the lamellae, the medium is cleaned from solids such that the water in the process can be used again.
By addition of minor quantities of flocculants it is possible to remove even very tiny particles (turbid matter) from the water. Moreover, due to more rapid sedimentation of the flakes, a smaller type can be chosen.
Inclined clarifiers have a high efficiency.
Inclined clarifiers are dimensioned and manufactured in accordance with their use or application.
Inclined clarifiers are robust and easy to maintain. The design materials such as the plastic materials offered by us are resistant to most chemicals and are selected according to the existing flow media. Advantages of the inclined clarifier: 85% less space requirement due to inclined settling surface compared with conventional settling tank. Simple slurry removal.


All over the press we are hearing about Black Friday, it is all everyone is talking about this week. This American tradition has really taken the UK by storm in the last couple of years and looks like it is here to stay. It is the day after Thanksgiving where retailers cut prices, creating a huge frenzy amongst shoppers looking for the best bargains in town. Retailers will set record breaking sales figures and the general public get to buy their Christmas gifts at a fraction of the recommended retail price.
This sounds like a win win situation for everyone, but the scenes on the news last year were utterly shocking. Customers were actually fighting over TVs in supermarket aisles just to bag themselves a great bargain. The shops turned into a war zone which was very frightening to observe. This year retailers have tried to combat this by starting Black Friday deals earlier to try to spread the foot fall slightly, but we will still see most of the best deals coming out on Friday.
Imagine this chaotic scene of shoppers vying for the best deals, but with the addition of overflowing drains threatening to close your premise down for the day. It could be something simple like an overflowing toilet or a much bigger problem like a burst water mains, causing problems not just for your business but also other businesses in the area. It just doesn't bare thinking about. Closing your business down on potentially your best sales day of the entire year could have a serious impact on the finances your business.

Q: How to determine whether colour is within a range of shades I am not sure if this is possible as I have been looking for a few hours and cant find what I am looking for.
What i am doing is taking a color from a game panel which is semi translucent so the color which I am taking is always subtly changing. What is need is a way to check if it is +/- 10 or so shades of my desired color.
Something like
If color1 is +/-10 of 0x?
I have tried using the image search to do similar but that didn't work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

A: In addition to Robert's answer, you can compare the colors mathematically.
First start by separating the Red, Green, and Blue values.
ToRGB(color) {
    return { "r": (color >> 16) & 0xFF, "g": (color >> 8) & 0xFF, "b": color & 0xFF }
}

Then we need a function that compares the colors.  Each of thee variables holds a number representing the difference in the two color values.  For example if red is 255 in c1, and 200 in c2, rdiff will be 55.  We use Abs so that we don't end up with -55 when c2 has a higher value.  Then we make sure the difference for each of these is less than our vary.
Compare(c1, c2, vary=20) {
    rdiff := Abs( c1.r - c2.r )
    gdiff := Abs( c1.g - c2.g )
    bdiff := Abs( c1.b - c2.b )

    return rdiff <= vary && gdiff <= vary && bdiff <= vary
}

Here's how it can be used.  We take some numbers, and then compare them to each other with the default vary of 20.
light_pink := ToRGB(0xFFAAFF)
darker_pink := ToRGB(0xFAACEF)
purple := ToRGB(0xAA00FF)

MsgBox % Compare(light_pink, dark_pink) ; True
MsgBox % Compare(light_pink, purple) ; False

A: I assume that your read about the limitations of PixelGetColor: Known limitations:
"A window that is partially transparent or that has one of its colors marked invisible (TransColor) typically yields colors for the window behind itself rather than its own.
PixelGetColor might not produce accurate results for certain applications. If this occurs, try specifying the word Alt or Slow in the last parameter."
When using ImageSearch, you can specify the Delta of the colours. Example:
ImageSearch, FoundX, FoundY, %SearchRangeLeft%, %SearchRangeTop%, %SearchRangeRight%, %SearchRangeBottom%, *20 %ImageFile%

Here the *20 indicates the variation in the range from 0 to 255 of my search colour. When searching for a pixel inside the image of 100,100,100 (RGB), it will match anything between 80,80,80 and 120,120,120. Hope this helps, but matching transparent colours is difficult and prone to errors. The smaller the image and search range the better (and faster)


In fact we are all bloggers each time we speak, just that its verbal and not written down. By writing it down, formulating articles it lets other in on the conversation, lets then talk about it, lets their knowledge grow, and lets them share it with others.
Why are articles important for your website?
Could you imagine switching the TV on and there is always the same show playing, day after day. How long would you keep switching the TV on? Before long you will be just hiring movies and skipping the usual TV show. You website is the same. If the shopping comes back several times and find everything the same, they would stop visiting, you would loose a potential client.
By generating a blog or writing and article you generate an interest and give reason for return visitors. Because of this Google gives more attention to a website that is updated frequently, which a blog does. You give reason for return visitors and might even became known at the guy or gal to follow, for the needed information that your articles bring.
Shoppers are well known for not waiting time on things they not interested in. By generating a commentary you could enlist an interest on your website, which in tern enables readers to spend more time on your website. This extra time helps you build a relationship with your potential client and build trust.
When it comes to the brand of your company and the products and services you offer, by spending more time it helps build the needed awareness to grow your bottom line.
As with anything there has to be a start, and with blogging its about what you know. Select a topic you are knowledgeable or familiar with. Ensure its in line with your brand or service. Shoppers visit your site to learn about cars and having a blog about squirrels would be way off topic and waste your shoppers time.
Even if you a high paid professional, lets say law. An article about how to drive your car so as not to be prosecuted would be informative and create and interest in you and your services, not detract from the fact you get paid for your services and knowledge. General knowledge is free - offer freely.
Remember to that you don't know who will be reading your articles so keep it readable, informative and user friendly. If you offer a direct service in answer to the topic you discussing hyper-link it. That way if your reader needs assistants for your exact article they know where to get it.
How do you improve your blog?
Sometimes less is more and seeing is believing. Showing photos or diagrams to highlight a point in the article will drive it home. Quotes and percentage facts are also a great way to interest the reader. Also a great aid would always be a video or two.
Is there an advantage to getting a professional blogger?
Its a yes and a no! You have the knowledge yet they know how to write and the formulation of words into sentences is what makes for a good blog. YOU need to build a trust with words, and the audience needs to believe in you and your message. If there are spelling mistakes or grammatical errors it can detract from that. It all depends on what your topic is and who your reader is. If you writing about 1st century France and its relation on modern day English, there had better be no mistakes. But them again it might be over a simple bloggers head LoL.
Its all up to you how professional you want your blog to be. If you want to keep it light and friendly them most likely you can do it yourself. Just get someone to proof it first before publishing. Don't attempt to write in German if you can't speak the language, don't think Google Translate will do the trick. A professional would definitely be required.
Just like Rome your blog can't be built within a day. It takes time to settle in and attract an audience. If you get inspiration and a quick desire to blog, first write down the title, the key points and the message you want to convey. Spend some time developing the idea before just writing and publishing.
Do your research, see what other have to say about the same topic. Be accurate and not opinionated, yet if something is just your opinion then say so ... well that how I feel.
You can also offer the service to your readers to email them when you publish a new article. A newsletter could pave the way and tantalise them before they get to read your words. Most of all make it easy for your readers to share with their friends the articles. Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Sumbleupon and LinkedIn are free resources to get your word out.

Paines Plough and Drum Theatre production
Nuffield Theatre, Southampton, and touring
Love, Love, Love production photo
Love has certainly been in the air with the Royal Wedding this week and love, marriage and family are the themes of Mike Bartlett's new play Love, Love, Love.
The play begins in the late swinging sixties, with the music of the Beatles, free love and the heady days of pot smoking students. Oxford undergraduate Kenneth (Ben Addis) is chilling out at his older brother, Henry's, London pad. A sleazy flat littered with the detritus of bachelor living, clothes everywhere, glasses and plates littering the floor. Wearing a dressing gown his life is about getting stoned and drinking heavily.
Henry aged 23, solidly played by Simon Darwen, is the complete antithesis to his brother, stable, and hard working with a preference to classic rather than pop music.
He has arranged a date with the vivacious Sandra, a splendid performance from Lisa Jackson, who quickly decides she prefers the free wheeling Kenneth to his staid brother, especially since they discover they both are students at Oxford.
The play fast forwards to the 1990's to a terraced house outside Reading where Sandra and Kenneth have married and have two teenage children. Rosie Wyatt perfectly captures the petulant, stroppy Rose who is about to celebrate her sixteenth birthday, whilst her younger brother Jamie (James Barrett) is into heavy rock music.
These privately educated adolescents have been thoroughly spoiled with little communication between them and their parents.
There is much tension in the family with dad hitting the whisky and mum swigging wine from the bottle. The dialogue sparkles and the pace is frenetic as Kenneth and Sandra both admit they have been having affairs and, to the consternation of the children, she announces that they are getting divorced. Rose's birthday has ended in an explosion of emotions.
The third act is set in the smart living room of Kenneth's country house, very minimalistic and chic. Designer Lucy Osborne had created rooms that impeccably suggested the transition of the family through the years.
Rose has called the family together to make an announcement whilst Jamie has become emotionally disturbed, living with his father in a fantasy world, drifting aimlessly through life.
Rose is feeling bitter, she is now thirty -seven and her career as a musician is failing and she needs money. She implores her parents to buy her a house. She is desperate to get her hands on some of her inheritance.
The answer from her parents is a resounding no. They have worked hard for forty years to get to where they are and now and they fully intend to enjoy the fruits of their hard labour.
Sandra hoped her children would be heroes but instead they wanted everything on a plate. Slowly Kenneth and Sandra flirt with each other as they dance to the Beatles All You Need is Love completely oblivious to Rose's frustration and tears.
Bartlett's clever and witty exploration of the baby boomer generation questions whether they are to blame for the debt -ridden state we are now in and what will be the consequences for the children and the future generations. Love, Love, Love is thought provoking and absorbing theatre.
"Love, Love, Love" tours to Citizens Glasgow (11- 14 May), Hull Truck Theatre (17 - 21 May), Royal and Derngate Northampton (24 - 28 May), Cambridge Arts Theatre (1 - 4 June), Oxford Playhouse (7 - 11 June).

Choju Giga" is said to be the roots of Japanese MANGA.
The picture-scroll, one of the national treasures, was drawn about 700-800 years ago, from the earlyKamakuraperiod to the late Heian period.
It consists of four volumes of Kou,Otsu, Hei, and Tei.
And we can see the social conditions of those days, at the anthropomorphic rabbit, frog, monkey and fox in it.
For a match between rabbit and frog, the frog became a sumo winner. Frog put up a good fight, standing firmly on the ground.
It was the moment that the frog brilliantly flung the rabbit. Then the rabbit turned over on his back. Fellow frogs exulted the victory, looking up to heaven. Each facial expression is vividly depicted.

HomeGovernanceExplainer: When can you sue your municipal body for accidents due to potholes?
Explainer: When can you sue your municipal body for accidents due to potholes?
January 17, 2022 Utkarsha Srivastava
LAW OF TORTS IN RELATION TO ROAD CONDITIONS AND ACCIDENTS
File pic of a busy Bangalore road riddled with potholes.
Despite the dangers they pose to life and limb, Indians have learned to live with the potholes that abound in most roads in every city. According to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, potholes accounted for 3,564 road accidents in 2020, though the the exact number of deaths from these accidents is not known. But despite these appalling numbers, there is a complete lack of explicit or specific legislation dealing with accountability for deaths or injuries caused by potholes that are the result of poor quality work and lack of maintenance by the municipal authorities concerned.
Can government or its agencies be sued for compensation?
The liability of the state for work done by its servants is known as Tortious Liability. According to this concept, the state is liable for the acts of omission and commission, voluntary or involuntary and brought before a Court of Law in a claim for unliquidated damages (damages claimed for losses unforeseeable) for such acts. This is also known as Vicarious Liability or Liability of a person for an act committed by another person, with such liability arising due to the nature of the relation between the two. Relationships such as principal agent, master-servant, owner-independent contractor etc. can be sued for damages under this principle.

Under the Indian Constitution, two Articles, Article 294 and Article 300 contain explicit and implicit provisions regarding Tortious Liability of the State and suits filed against the state under these articles. In the State of Rajasthan vs. Mrs. Vidyawati, a vehicle owned by the state of Rajasthan met with an accident causing the death of one person due to negligence of the driver. And the state was held liable as the said accident could not be associated with the state's sovereign powers, which are making laws and implementing them.
The Court further held that there can be no difficulty in holding that the State should be as much liable for tort in respect of a tortious act committed by its servant within the scope of his employment, and wholly dissociated from the exercise of sovereign powers of the state. It was thus made clear that the ambit of Article 300 included tortious liability of the state and its scope is not limited to contractual liability only.
In 1996, the Supreme Court in Achutrao Haribhau Kodwa and another v. State of Maharashtra and others, held that running of hospitals not being an exclusive function of the government, maintaining a hospital by the government would not be an exercise of sovereign power so as to enable it to claim immunity from liability for the tortious acts of its hospital employees. In the case, a government doctor and the state were held liable, because of the negligence of the said doctor in the hospital resulting in the death of the patient.
The liability of the state has gone beyond the traditional principles in view of changing laws and the Constitutional mandates. In fact, legally, the state would be liable to pay compensation to aggrieved persons because of negligent and careless acts done by its employees during the course of their employment. In fact, according to the law and the courts, the master would be liable even for acts which he has not authorized if he can be connected with the acts themselves.
Municipal Corporation can be held liable for pothole related accidents
Maintenance of roads is the duty of the city's municipal corporation and accidents because of poor road conditions, resulting in deaths or injuries, can be considered to have occurred due to their negligence. These corporations act as agents of the government, wherein it can be sued under the principle of Vicarious Liability. The argument being that such accidents could have been controlled if the municipal corporation exercised more vigilance.
Negligence, in layman terms, means carelessness. Various laws, doctrines, and principles could be evoked to prove negligence and the lack of care by the public authorities responsible for maintaining these roads, thus making them liable for the occurrence of these accidents.
According to Law of Torts, negligence is the breach of duty caused by any one of the following:
(a) the omission to do something which a reasonable man, guided by those considerations which ordinarily regulate the conduct of human affairs, would do, or
(b) The commission of (act of doing) something which a prudent and reasonable man would not do.
This implies the existence of a legal duty to take care of roads, for instance, owed to the complainer. Torts is a civil wrong wherein an act or omission, other than breach of contract, gives rise to injury or harm to another, and amounts to a civil wrong for which courts impose liability.

The question of liability arises when there is presence of carelessness by the defendants, if the damage caused could have been foreseen. However, this principle can be taken into consideration only if the defendant owes a duty of care to the plaintiff or if it is a clear breach of duty. When the damage caused is recognized and explicit, then the right to claim damages from the defendant is legally available.

To bring suit under negligence, in Klaus Mittelbachert v. East India Hotels Ltd., in 1997 the Delhi High Court considered the question of liability of a five star hotel to a visitor who got seriously injured when he took a dive in the swimming pool. The Court established three conditions, which once proved to have occurred, established negligence. The defendant was in exclusive control of the situation that caused the injury, the injury would not have occurred if the defendant was not negligent, and the plaintiff's injury was not even partially due to his own negligence /action.
Applying the Court's conditions to 'accidents caused by potholes', once the victim of the accident states that the injuries sustained were due to a pothole owing to the negligence of the concerned public authorities, then general damages or compensation could be demanded.
For instance, in Sh. Debayan Mitra V. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi, the Court held that general damages of Rs 10,000, special damages of Rs 1240 and costs of the suit was to be awarded to the plaintiff by the municipal corporation. It was further stated that victims can and must demand damages when there's a failure in the performance of its duty by any public authority/government/public works department. In the above case, the plaintiff had stumbled upon a pothole filled with water while returning home and had sustained severe injuries.
In Madhu Kaur v. govt of NCT of Delhi & another, the Court held that damages can be awarded to persons who have suffered the loss of a near and dear one, due to negligence and failure to maintain roads.
In Raj Kumar versus Union of India and Another, MCD and Delhi Jal Board were held guilty as they were required to maintain and repair manholes. The compensation was awarded to the victim who fell and died because of a manhole which was three inches below the road surface.
In another case, negligence was brought in holding the public authority responsible, when a person had fallen into a manhole, which was unfinished by the authority concerned, and had lost his life. It was held that he was deprived of his fundamental right under Article 21 of the Constitution as the state or its instrumentality failed to discharge its duty of care cast upon it. Thus the Court held that Article 21 could be attracted and monetary compensation could be claimed under Article 226 of the constitution as a compensation/penalty for deprivation of a fundamental right.
Thus, through precedents, it has been properly laid down that the authority and the government responsible for maintaining roads and highways can be held liable for any breach of duty from their side. There have been several tests for determining the relation of master and servant and the Courts have also applied their discretion according to the facts of the case to determine such a relationship.
Legal precedent clearly holds that the relevant governments and authorities responsible for maintaining roads/highways are always obligated to ensure care and safety towards the citizens and commuters. Unfortunately, however, when it comes to compensation for injury caused due to potholes, no legal provisions or steps related to seeking compensation for the said injury are mentioned in any law.
