Aas, Nils
Ingeborg Wikborg
(Sigurd)
(b Inderøy, Nord-Trøndelag, April 21, 1933).
Norwegian sculptor, designer and medallist. He became familiar with handicraft in his father's furniture workshop. In 1954 he began five years' study as a commercial artist at the Håndverks- og Kunstindustriskole in Oslo and from 1957 to 1963 he worked as an illustrator for a newspaper. He studied at the Kunstakademi in Oslo from 1959 to 1962 under the sculptor Per Palle Storm (1910–94) who advocated naturalism in sculpture. As an assistant to Arnold Haukeland from 1961 to 1964, Aas lost his apprehension of the untried and cultivated his sense of daring, as he gained experience with welding techniques. Highly imaginative and versatile, Aas worked in both abstract and figurative modes and is reckoned one of the foremost sculptors in Norway; in 1990 he was honoured with St Olav.
Aas's first sculpture was an equestrian monument in snow, made in Inderøy while he was a schoolboy. His first public project was the abstract steel figure ...

Silvery white metal. The third most abundant element in the earth's crust (after oxygen and silicon), aluminium is found only in the form of its compounds, such as alumina or aluminium oxide. Its name is derived from alumen, the Latin name for alum, and in the 18th century the French word alumine was proposed for the oxide of the metal, then undiscovered. The name aluminium was adopted in the early 19th century and is used world-wide except in the USA, where the spelling is aluminum, and in Italy where alluminio is used. Following the discovery of processes for separating the metal from the oxide, at first experimentally in 1825, then commercially in 1854 and industrially in 1886–8, aluminium rapidly came to be valued as an adaptable material with both functional and decorative properties. Thus in addition to being used in engineering, transport, industrial design and household products, it was also widely adopted in architecture, sculpture and the decorative arts....
Amberg, Adolf
Freya Probst
(b Hanau, July 1874; d Berlin, July 3, 1913).
German silversmith, sculptor and painter. He attended the Zeichenakademie and the Kunstgewerbeschule in Hanau then studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule, Berlin, and the Académie Julian in Paris, before finally becoming a student of the sculptor Louis Tuaillon at the Kunstakademie, Berlin. From 1894 to 1903 he worked at the renowned silverware factory of Bruckmann & Söhne in Heilbronn, modelling goblets, cutlery, sports prizes and medals etc. In collaboration with Otto Rieth, professor at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Berlin, Amberg made a silver fountain (h. 3.2 m) for the Exposition Universelle, Paris, in 1900.
After designing the silver for the Town Hall of Aachen (1903) and spending a year in Rome (1903–4), Amberg completed his most important work, the design of the Hochzeitszug (Berlin, Tiergarten, Kstgewmus.), a table centre for the wedding of Wilhelm (1882–1951), Crown Prince of Germany and Prussia and Herzogin Cecilie von Mecklenburg-Schwerin (...
Anatsui, El
Lisa M. Binder
(b Anyako, Ghana, June 13, 1944).
Ghanaian sculptor, active in Nigeria. He earned a bachelor's degree in sculpture (1968) and a postgraduate diploma in art education from the University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana (1969). After graduation he taught at the Specialist Training College (now University of Winneba), Ghana, in a position vacated by the eminent sculptor Vincent Kofi. From 1975 he was Professor of Sculpture at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Anatsui's practice often makes use of found objects including bottle caps, milk-tins and cassava graters. However, he is not concerned with recycling or salvaging; instead he seeks meaning in the ways materials can be transformed to make statements about history, culture and memory.
His early work consists of ceramic sculptures manipulated to reconfigure pieces of memory. In 1978 he began his Broken Pots series, which was exhibited the following year at the British Council in Enugu, Nigeria. Several of the ceramic works were made of sherds that were fused together by a grog-like cement of broken pieces. Making art historical references to ...
Armstead, Henry Hugh
Philip Ward-Jackson
(b London, June 18, 1828; d London, Dec 4, 1905).
English sculptor, silversmith and illustrator. He was the son of a chaser and attended the Royal Academy Schools, London. At first he gave his attention equally to silverwork and to sculpture, exhibiting at the Royal Academy from 1851. An early bronze, St Michael and the Serpent, cast in 1852 for the Art Union, shows him conversant with the style of continental Romantics, and his debut in metalwork coincided with the introduction into England of virtuoso repoussé work by the Frenchman, Antoine Vechte (1799–1868). In the Outram Shield (London, V&A), Armstead displayed the full gamut of low-relief effects in silver, but its reception at the Royal Academy in 1862 disappointed him, and he turned his attention to monumental sculpture. Among a number of fruitful collaborations with architects, that with George Gilbert I Scott (ii) included a high degree of responsibility for the sculpture on the Albert Memorial in Kensington Gardens, London. Here Armstead's main contribution was the execution of half of the podium frieze (...
Suzanne Tise
Descriptive term applied to a style of decorative arts that was widely disseminated in Europe and the USA during the 1920s and 1930s. Derived from the style made popular by the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes held in Paris in 1925, the term has been used only since the late 1960s, when there was a revival of interest in the decorative arts of the early 20th century. Since then the term 'Art Deco' has been applied to a wide variety of works produced during the inter-war years, and even to those of the German Bauhaus. But Art Deco was essentially of French origin, and the term should, therefore, be applied only to French works and those from countries directly influenced by France.
The development of the Art Deco style, or the Style moderne as it was called at the time, closely paralleled the initiation of the 1925...
Michèle Lavallée
[Fr.: 'new art']
Decorative style of the late 19th century and the early 20th that flourished principally in Europe and the USA. Although it influenced painting and sculpture, its chief manifestations were in architecture and the decorative and graphic arts, the aspects on which this survey concentrates. It is characterized by sinuous, asymmetrical lines based on organic forms; in a broader sense it encompasses the geometrical and more abstract patterns and rhythms that were evolved as part of the general reaction to 19th-century historicism. There are wide variations in the style according to where it appeared and the materials that were employed.
Art Nouveau has been held to have had its beginnings in 1894 or 1895. A more appropriate date would be 1884, the year the progressive group Les XX was founded in Belgium, and the term was used in the periodical that supported it, Art Moderne: 'we are believers in Art Nouveau'. The origin of the name is usually attributed to ...
Alan Crawford
Informal movement in architecture and the decorative arts that championed the unity of the arts, the experience of the individual craftsman, and the qualities of materials and construction in the work itself.
The Arts and Crafts Movement developed in the second half of the 19th century and lasted well into the 20th, drawing its support from progressive artists, architects and designers, philanthropists, amateurs, and middle-class women seeking work in the home. They set up small workshops apart from the world of industry, revived old techniques, and revered the humble household objects of pre-industrial times. The movement was strongest in the industrializing countries of northern Europe and in the USA, and it can best be understood as an unfocused reaction against industrialization. Although quixotic in its anti-industrialism, it was not unique; indeed it was only one among several late 19th-century reform movements, such as the Garden City movement, vegetarianism, and folksong revivals, that set the Romantic values of nature and folk culture against the artificiality of modern life....
Ashbee, C(harles) R(obert)
(b Isleworth, Middx, May 17, 1863; d Godden Green, Kent, May 23, 1942).
English designer, writer, architect and social reformer . He was educated at King's College, Cambridge. As a young man he was deeply influenced by the teachings of John Ruskin and William Morris, and particularly by their vision of creative workmanship in the Middle Ages; such a vision made work in modern times seem like mechanical drudgery. Ashbee played many parts and might be thought a dilettante; but his purpose was always to give a practical expression to what he had learnt from Ruskin and Morris. An intense and rather isolated figure, he found security in a life dedicated to making the world a better place.
In 1888, while he was training to be an architect in the office of G. F. Bodley and Thomas Garner (1839–1906), Ashbee set up the Guild and School of Handicraft in the East End of London. The School lasted only until 1895, but the Guild, a craft workshop that combined the ideals of the Arts and Crafts Movement with a romantic, apolitical socialism, was to be the focus of Ashbee's work for the next 20 years. There were five guildsmen at first, making furniture and base metalwork. In ...
Ball, Tompkins & Black
American silversmiths, active in New York. The company was founded by the silversmith Isaac Marquand in 1810, and traded as Marquand & Co. In 1839 the company was bought by Henry Ball, Erasus Tompkins and William Black, and was known as Ball, Tompkins & Black until 1851, when it became Ball, Black & Company. In ...
Ballin, (Francesco) Mogens
Rigmor Lovring
(Hendrik)
(b Copenhagen, March 9, 1871; d Copenhagen, Jan 28, 1941).
Danish painter and metalworker . He trained at private schools of painting in Copenhagen. In 1889–1904 he travelled to Paris and Brittany several times and between 1892 and 1906 was often in Italy. Mette Gauguin (b 1850) inspired in him an interest in French art, and it was she who introduced him to Paul Gauguin and Paul Sérusier in Brittany. He was encouraged by his friend the Dutch painter Jan Verkade to convert from Judaism to Catholicism in 1893. Ballin introduced French Symbolism and Art Nouveau to Denmark, and he was valued for his knowledge of the work of Gauguin, Sérusier, the Symbolists and the Synthetists. Symbolist inspiration is apparent in one of his few paintings, At the Beach (1900; Copenhagen, M. Bredholt priv. col.)
After his conversion to Catholicism, Ballin became interested in religious artefacts and abandoned painting for metalwork. In 1899 he opened a metal workshop with the sculptor ...
Banner, Fiona
John-Paul Stonard
(b Merseyside, June 23, 1966).
English sculptor and conceptual artist. She studied at Kingston Polytechnic, Surrey (1986–9), and at Goldsmiths' College of Art in London (1992–3). She had her first solo exhibition at City Racing, London, in 1994, and in the following year was included in General Release: Young British Artists at the XLVI Venice Biennale. Banner came to prominence with her 'wordscapes', large text works that recount the plots of feature films or other events. The first of these was Top Gun (pencil on paper, 2.13×4.57 m, 1993), a hand-written account of the film Top Gun presented on a cinematic scale. The 'wordscapes' led to the publication in 1997 of The Nam, 1000 pages of continuous text describing the Vietnam war movies Apocalypse Now, Born on the Fourth of July, Full Metal Jacket, Platoon, Hamburger Hill and The Deer Hunter. This unreadable text points to the excess of violence in such films, the numbing of critical faculties, as well as the mythologizing and fictionalizing framing devices used to interpret historical events. Towards the end of the 1990s she became interested in the implications of punctuation signs, dwelling on their qualities as abstract marks that give structure to text. By selecting a variety of fonts, enlarging the full stop signs to ...
Baseman, Jordan
Francis Summers
(b Philadelphia, Dec 17, 1960).
American sculptor, active in England. He obtained a BFA from Tyler School of Art, Philadelphia, PA, and an MFA from Goldsmiths' College, London, in 1988. Exploring his interest in the government of behaviour by social constraint, he first used clothes and hair as materials before turning to animal remains and casts of human organs for his increasingly unsettling work. His The Cat and the Dog (1995; London, Saatchi Gal., see 1996 exh. cat., p. 4) consists of two skinned animal hides with perfectly reconstructed heads and feet. Described by the artist as frozen smiles, the animal objects act as abstract surrogates for socially repressed bestial tendencies. Be Your Dog (1997; see 1998 exh. cat., p. 10), consisting of scalped dog ears mounted on a wall as an invitation to wear them, illustrates this theme even more forcefully. Other works by Baseman represent human body parts. Muscle (1997...
Baudichon, René
(b Tours, March 24, 1878; d 1963).
French medallist. He studied first at the school of art in Tours and then at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He was an able and prolific follower of such medallists as Frédéric de Vernon and Oscar Roty: his decorative and sentimental plaquettes, among them Wedding (1902), First Step...
[Bauhaus Berlin; Bauhaus Dessau, Hochschule für Gestaltung; Staatliches Bauhaus in Weimar]
German school of art, design and architecture, founded by Walter Gropius. It was active in Weimar from 1919 to 1925, in Dessau from 1925 to 1932 and in Berlin from 1932 to 1933, when it was closed down by the Nazi authorities. The Bauhaus's name referred to the medieval Bauhütten or masons' lodges. The school re-established workshop training, as opposed to impractical academic studio education. Its contribution to the development of Functionalism in architecture was widely influential. It exemplified the contemporary desire to form unified academies incorporating art colleges, colleges of arts and crafts and schools of architecture, thus promoting a closer cooperation between the practice of 'fine' and 'applied' art and architecture. The origins of the school lay in attempts in the 19th and early 20th centuries to re-establish the bond between artistic creativity and manufacturing that had been broken by the Industrial Revolution. According to Walter Gropius in ...
Bayes, Gilbert
Philip Attwood
(b London, April 4, 1872; d London, July 10, 1953).
English sculptor and medallist. He was the son of the painter and etcher Alfred Walter Bayes (1832–1909) and brother of the painters Walter Bayes (1869–1956) and Jessie Bayes (1878–1971). He studied at the City and Guilds Technical College and the Royal Academy School in London. His early work consists of reliefs and decorative objects, and bronze statuettes, some partly enamelled, which show the influence of Alfred Gilbert and the New Sculpture. After World War I his work became more stylized. He executed a number of large-scale reliefs including History of Pottery through the Ages (polychrome stoneware, 1938; London, V&A) for the headquarters of Doulton's, the ceramics manufacturers, on Albert Embankment, London, and History of Drama through the Ages (artificial stone) for the Saville Theatre (now the MGM Cinema), Shaftesbury Avenue, also in London, works which exemplify the artist's eagerness to experiment with new materials. He worked closely with ...
Beattie, Basil
(b West Hartlepool, Cleveland, Jan 9, 1935).
English painter and printmaker. He studied at West Hartlepool College of Art (1950–55) and at the Royal Academy Schools, London, from 1957 to 1961. He taught at Goldsmiths' College, London, for much of the 1980s and 90s. An initial interest in the paintings of Walter Richard Sickert gave way to influences from the late work of Picasso and paintings by the New York artists associated with Abstract Expressionism. Beattie's mature work can be situated within the context of the abstraction practised by other English painters such as John Hoyland, Albert Irvin and Gillian Ayres, all of whose sensual and physical use of paint owes some allegiance to the recent American tradition. Beattie's work of the 1980s was very gestural and characterized by its use of dark colours, as in Circus (1984; London, Tate). He later became interested in dividing the pictorial space into defined sections. The abstract forms that Beattie used were often organized into shapes resembling ziggurats, as in ...
Begg, John
Philip Davies
(b Bo'ness, 1866; d Edinburgh, Feb 23, 1937).
Scottish architect, active in India. He was educated at the Edinburgh Academy and Royal Academy Schools. At the RIBA he was a Silver Medallist (1894). After a period articled to Hippolyte Blanc (1844–1917), he worked with Alfred Waterhouse and R. W. Edis before going to South Africa as architect to the Real Estate Corporation. In 1901 he became Consulting Architect to the Government of Bombay, before succeeding James Ransome (1865–1944) as Consulting Architect to the Government of India in 1908, the first to be employed outside the ranks of the Public Works Department engineers. He remained in this post until 1921.
He was proficient in a wide variety of styles. He designed barracks and housing for the new cantonment at Delhi and devised a standardized design for the Post and Telegraph departments, of which the Nagpur Post Office and Agra Post Office (1913...
Bellosio, Eugenio
Donna Corbin
(b Milan, 1847; d Magreglio, 1927).
Italian silversmith. He was known for his complex designs of flatware, chalices and inkwells. His flatware designed c. 1885 was Renaissance Revival in style, while that designed c. 1887 (Milan, Castello Sforzesco) is more reminiscent of the Mannerist style of Benvenuto Cellini and Antonio Gentile, the handles being adorned with the forms of nymphs and satyrs. Bellosio is also well known for his work exhibited at the Turin Exhibition of ...
Benson, W(illiam) A(rthur) S(mith)
Joellen Secondo
(b London, Oct 17, 1854; d Manorbier, Dyfed, July 5, 1924).
English designer. He was educated at Winchester and Oxford, and in 1877 he was articled to the architect Basil Champneys. Encouraged by William Morris, in 1880 Benson set up his own workshop in Hammersmith specializing in metalwork. Two years later he established a foundry at Chiswick, a showroom in Kensington and a new factory at Hammersmith (all in London), equipped with machinery to mass-produce a wide range of forms, such as kettles, vases, tables, dishes and firescreens. Benson's elegant and spare designs were admired for their modernity and minimal use of ornament. He is best known for his lamps and lighting fixtures, mostly in copper and bronze, which are fitted with flat reflective surfaces (e.g. c. 1890; London, V&A). These items were displayed in S. Bing's Maison de l'Art Nouveau, Paris, and were used in the Morris & Co. interiors at Wightwick Manor, W. Midlands (NT), and Standen, East Grinstead, W. Sussex. Many of Benson's designs were patented, including those for jacketed vessels, which keep hot or cold liquids at a constant temperature, and for a 'Colander' teapot with a button mechanism for raising the tea leaves after the tea has infused. Benson sold his designs, labelled 'Art Metal', through his showroom on Bond Street, which opened in ...

Senators rejected on Tuesday the "invalid" order of the Bureau of Internal Revenue's (BIR) to tax health card premiums.
Senator Francis "Chiz" Escudero, a lawyer, explained that only Congress, not the BIR, has the power to tax.
"Only Congress has the power to tax. Not the BIR," Escudero told INQUIRER.net in a text message.
"Nowhere in RA 10963 did it state that it was the intent of Congress to so tax health card premiums," he said.
The senator was referring to Republic Act No. 10963 or the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (Train).
"RMC (Revenue Memorandum Circular) 50-2018 is a usurpation of Congress' inherent power to tax and is therefore invalid," Escudero went on.
"At a time when we are trying to curb inflation, the BIR is not helping at all…," Escudero said.
Senate President Pro Tempore Ralph Recto echoed Escudero's opinion, saying there was nothing in the law that says health card premium should be subject to tax.
"The BIR taxing health card premiums will not further the government's objective of having a healthier citizenry. BIR should refrain from taxing health insurance premiums," Recto said in a separate text message.
"It's not in the law to tax them (health card premiums)," he stressed.
What they should implement instead, Recto said, is a provision of the law, which exempts maintenance drugs for the heart, diabetes from value-added tax starting January next year.
"One of my amendments. That's what they should implement," he further said.
Senator Sonny Angara, chair of the Senate committee on ways and means, also asked the BIR earlier to withdraw its order.
Under the BIR's memo, Angara said premiums on health cards paid by the employer for all employees would l be included as part of bonuses and benefits which are subject to the P90,000 tax-exempt threshold.
"In effect, the circular reverses previous BIR ruling and regulations that premium on health cards shall be tax-free," he said.


In this SBIR project, we present LifeGames, a set of sensor-enabled, multimodal, NGSS aligned, validated formative assessment games for biology and health education. Our emphasis will be on high engagement, deeper learning of the heart and cardiovascular function and diseases, and valid formative feedback to guide next steps for teachers and to allow student to assess themselves.
US science education, in general, is facing critical challenges in terms of global competitiveness and workforce development. When it comes to biology and health-education, lack of education further exacerbates the situation by placing a heavy economic burden on the U.S. taxpayer in excess of estimated $200 billion per year. Estimated 36% of US adults have limited health literacy skills (HL) such as the ability to "evaluate information for quality," "interpret test results," and "analyze relative risks and benefits" (http://nces.ed.gov/naal).
Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), which have been designed to address these challenges, call for major changes in instruction, curriculum and assessment, with assessment being the driver. Availability of engaging and valid formative assessment games with a strong professional development program will facilitate NGSS implementation, learning outcomes and foster health literacy (HL). It will also positively impact teachers' content knowledge and effectiveness.
a modular extensible framework for development of future games for high school NGSS biology and health education topics.
Public Health Relevance: LifeGames, a set of sensor-enabled, multimodal, NGSS aligned games will deeply engage students in studying biology and motivate them to pursue biomedical careers. US science education is facing critical challenges in terms of global competitiveness and workforce development. Furthermore, low health literacy also contributes to a burden of $200 billion per year to the US taxpayer. By making it easier to implement NGSS and by enhancing students' health literacy skills, LifeGames will help address these challenges, while greatly reducing the cost of sensors and expanding availability of games to the vast underserved population in the US.


Returning on October 24th for its 5th Year!
For the 5th year in a row, runners taking on OktobeRun Half Marathon and 5K race will be coursing through Redwood City on October 24 in their attempt to improve their personal best times, while enjoying a beautiful fall day on the San Francisco Bay Trail.
Proceeds from OktobeRun support programs funded by the Redwood City Education Foundation (RCEF), which motivates many runners, but the race is also coming into itself as a well-regarded event drawing participants from around the Bay Area and across the country. Race director Rick Hunter credits Redwood City's Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department with helping to build the race's success. "The City has been nothing short of amazing, working with us every step of the way to make an event that can be enjoyed by our full community." Hunter said.
Volunteers from high schools and community organizations in Redwood City have also been integral to the success of OktobeRun. Runners in the half marathon and 5K races appreciate how well OktobeRun volunteers tend to their needs and enjoy the home town, community feel they provide. While the half marathon appeals mostly to serious runners, the 5 K is well-suited for families and also attracts a strong contingent of students. The participation of this group falls into one of the RCEF's key strategies for promoting wellness in schools. "We have been funding wellness programs since 2005," said RCEF president Judie Gutierrez. "OktobeRun and our 4th of July Parade Run are important elements of our mission. We strongly believe healthy kids learn better!" To encourage student participation this year, OktobeRun has dropped fees for students to $10.
Runners also love the mostly flat, incredibly scenic course. Well-stocked goodie bags, finishers' medals, and 13.1 car magnets for half marathoners add to their experience. OktobeRun concludes with a lively post-race expo featuring food and drink samples, information booths, and other attractions.
October 24th promises to be a good day for OktobeRun runners, the RCEF, and Redwood City. To learn more about OktobeRun, visit:www.oktoberun.com. To learn more about RCEF, visit www.rcef.org.

Realty rates rising in GDA colonies
Ghaziabad, October 21
Of late property in Ghaziabad has been on the upswing, making more sense of investments in land and flats in the GDA colonies besides other areas. Development of better infrastructure, including about a dozen flyovers planned to be built in the Mahanagar, has also helped Ghaziabad colonies promise higher returns. The saturation in Gurgaon has helped shift the influx of realtors and buyers to this west UP district.

Man acquitted of rape after girl sides with him
A Delhi court acquitted a man accused of raping a 16-year old girl after her deposition in court that she had gone with him of her own free will.
Acting on the report submitted by the Central Road Research Institute (CRRI), Delhi High Court today ordered for the demolition of the cloverleaf of the Akshardham flyover at NOIDA crossing in Trans-Yamuna area in the Capital due to structural defects.
A Division bench of Justices Ravinder Jian and R S Sodhi asked the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to submit a report by its technical committee by November 11, stating the time and money it would take to complete the project.
Expressing anguish, the Judges said, "The court would pass an appropriate order on the next date of hearing on the faulty cloverleaf, which was executed to save a petrol pump. It is sheer wastage of public money due to the act of some negligent officials of the DDA".
The Court also asked the CRRI official to state in an affidavit the amount of funds required to rebuild the slip road. The IB Petroleum, which has a petrol pump at the mouth of the cloverleaf, filed an application for the impleadment in the case.
The Counsel appearing for DDA said that the project was executed on the plan submitted by the public sector RITES. "'RITES should be held responsible for the faulty plan," he said.
On the direction of the court, the RITES had prepared a modified plan to construct again the cloverleaf which had been impeding traffic bound for the Mayur Vihar and NOIDA.
The Court also said action might be taken against the officials who truncated the plan to allegedly favour certain private persons.
In May this year, the High Court had directed the CRRI to inspect the Akshardham flyover and submit a report specifying whether the cloverleaf was constructed in accordance with international specifications or not.
The court had appointed scientist Subhash Chand as court officer and asked him to visit the spot to examine the lapses in constructing the flyover allegedly to extend favour to some "vested interests".
The DDA Counsel said that no rule was violated and the curve of the cloverleaf was made at 36 degree radius.
The cloverleaf was made 36 degree radius instead of 60 degree radius to save a petrol pump on the high way and 69 buildings, said the counsel who had filed the petition. The Project Officer of the DDA, who designed, sanctioned and approved the project was also present in the court to explain the difficulties in executing the project. Due to the faulty construction of the approach road, the traffic had been held up at the approach, the Judges observed.
The approach and the end of the clover-leaf should have been much broader for the smooth traffic of the vehicles towards NOIDA and Mayur Vihar Phase-I.
"It is a serious matter and the guilty should be punished," said the Judges.
The main flyover was constructed by the DDA connecting the approach road of NOIDA to Yamuna bridge at Laxminagar.
A Division Bench of Justice Vijender Jain and Justice and Justice R S Sodhi said if it was not done, the DCP, ACP and SHO of the area concerned shall remain present in the court on October 28.
The court asked the police and DDA to ensure that the squatters did not encroach upon public land within five km of the place they were evicted from. It also asked DDA to fence the 1.5 acre land secured from encroachers. The Bench pulled up the authorities for allowing squatting on road, particularly after the encroachers were evicted on court orders.
"If this is the state of affairs in the Capital of the country, what will happen elsewhere," a Division Bench of Justice Vijender Jain and Justice R S Sodhi observed.
The demolition order was passed on a contempt petition filed by Retreat Cooperative Group Housing Society near which 128 'jhuggis' were constructed on belonging to DDA and PWD. Earlier, the court had on December 17 last year ordered removal of the 'jhuggis'. While PWD removed 38 jhuggis from its land, DDA failed to implement the order forcing the petitioners to file a contempt petition.
Petitioners' counsel Pushkar Sood submitted that due to squatting on road, people were facing lots of problems.
The third stage of voting for the Panchayat and area elections recorded 64 per cent voting in Dankore Block, amidst strong police bandobast. However, there were minor clashes at various polling booths. The fate of 77 BDC and four district Panchayat members was sealed in the ballot boxes.
Voters had started queuing up at Ward No. 10, 12, and 13 at 7 am yesterday at the polling booths for electing 77 to 86 members for the area Panchayat and 4 Zila Panchayat. Ward No.11 had recorded only 20 per cent polling by 11 am in Bilaspur, Dehat, Kanarsi, Chahula, Mehmoodpur and Girarpur and for Ward No.10 in Navada, Salempur, Atai Ladpura, Kasna, etc.
By the afternoon, 70 to 80 per cent voters had cast their votes and by the evening about 65 per cent voting had been recorded at almost all the booths. Two groups had clashed in Lalra, Mehmoodpur, Makhanpur, Khander and in Emlya for area Panchayat voting. Heavy police and PAC jawans had been deployed in the area.
SSP Piyush Mordia, SP City Soumitra Yadav, CO Sewak Ram Yadav and CO Sarvanand and SDM Sadar Satya Prakash Patel had all toured the area which had been divided into five zones and 19 sectors each of which were put in the charge of a zonal magistrate.
There were still many untoward incidents causing tension in several villages. A voter in Chahula village had his name entered twice in the voters' list. This led to a lot of tension.
The authorities had termed 13 polling centres out of 98 as super sensitive and 23 as sensitive. Four special zonal magistrates had also been deployed. Besides 19 sector magistrates, seven police officers, 151 SIs, 225 head constables and 1,199 constables, apart from PAC and home guards had been deployed which ensured peaceful and fair voting.
Students from the formal education system, who fail to clear two or more subjects, will no longer have to repeat an entire academic year. As per an agreement between 24 educational boards and the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) these students can transfer their credits to the NIOS and take the re-examination in only those subjects, which they have failed to clear.
This initiative is part of an attempt being made to change the image of the NIOS as an inferior alternative to the formal education system. In a significant move to bolster the NIOS, these 24 education boards, including the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), have agreed to share their resources and grant equivalence to students from NIOS.
"We had invited the boards to promote cooperation between the formal and the non-formal modes of education. For us to grow and be able to cater to a larger mass of people, it is necessary for the other boards to collaborate with us," said the Secretary, NIOS, Mr Dinesh Singh Bist.
Listing the steps being taken to bridge the divide between formal and distance education, Bist said, "according to the agreement these boards will share their resources with us and will grant equivalence to our subjects and course material".
Officials are hopeful that allowing the sharing of credits will prove to be an impetus to popularise distance education. "For instance if a CBSE student fails in two subjects out of the total five, we will allow him to take the examination in the remaining three without having to repeat the other two. At the end of the successful completion of all five subjects, the student will be given a certification from both the boards," explained Bist.
"We want the others boards to reciprocate this arrangement, but as of now we are yet to firm up things," he added.
Referring to the equivalence clause, he said, "we publish and create our own study material, which is sometimes considered inferior by the other boards, we have now agreed that our course material and the subjects will be treated at par with the formal system".
Through the sharing of resources with the boards, NIOS hopes to strengthen their outreach programme. "There are at present six crore out of school children, NIOS aspires to reach out to a larger section of students and to be able to do that we need the support of these education boards in their respective states," pointed out Mr Bist.
Lamenting that despite being the forerunners in the area of examination reforms, the NIOS is still considered an inferior system of education, Mr Bist said, "even the NCF (National Curriculum Framework) has acknowledged that NIOS with its flexibility of time and place is more humane way of certification."
Of late property in Ghaziabad has been on the upswing, making more sense of investments in land and flats in the GDA colonies besides other areas. Development of better infrastructure, including about a dozen flyovers planned to be built in the Mahanagar, has also helped Ghaziabad colonies promise higher returns.
The saturation in Gurgaon has helped shift the influx of realtors and buyers to this west UP district.
Thanks to these recent developments, a commercial plot in Indirapuram was auctioned at an unprecedented rate of nearly Rs 72,000 per square metre, which was more than double the rate of Rs 34,000 per square metre prevalent about two months ago on which a commercial plot was auctioned in Kaushambi. Of three other plots auctioned along the highest bid, the final bid for the one that went cheapest was Rs 43,100 per square meter, which is still higher than the last highest bid at Kaushambi.
According to GDA Vice-Chairman D.P. Singh, the spurt in the city's property rates due to modern development schemes will further push up the values of land in the city. These include about a dozen more flyovers likely to come up in about two or three years, an expressway from the Meerut Road triple-crossing to Pratap Vihar and the broadening of the road from Maharajpur to Dabur to 10 lanes. The flyovers to be taken up first are those at ALT Centre, and the Chowdhary More Triple Crossing in Ghaziabad city.
A Swarna Jayanti Park is coming up in Indirapuram, on the lines of Delhi's India Habitat Centre, to be built on 16 acres. Underpasses are also to come up at Pratap Vihar and Hindon. With all this likely to take shape soon and two flyovers already complete, Mr D.P. Singh said, "An uptrend in the city's land prices was to be expected."
Earlier, in GDAs land auction last month, plot number 'C' of 321.49 square metres, in Abhay Khand 3, went at the rate of Rs 71,600 per square metre setting up a record of sorts in the history of Ghaziabad and GDA.
Cracks in Secretariat building declared
'minor' in nature
The PWD Superintendent Engineer, Mr Mohan Joshi, who was the project manager of the Players' Building, said that the seismological advisor to the Union Government and National Institute of Disaster Management Fellow, Mr A. S. Arya, and a building expert from IIT Delhi examined the cracks yesterday and said that they were all hairline ones and in no way threatened the Secretariat building.
These cracks were not structural but usual minor plaster or thermal ones that could be repaired during routine maintenance works, he said.
Most of the cracks were found to be old while some of them could have come to surface because of the quake, he added. Cracks become dangerous when they are more than 1/8 of an inch or 1/16 of an inch depending on the place they are found, or if they are diagonal or cross shaped, Mr Joshi said.
In fact all buildings in North India that have experienced quakes measuring 4 or more on the Richter Scale should be checked for cracks and accordingly repaired and strengthened, he suggested.
The Players' Building, which houses the secretariat, was constructed on Yamuna river's alluvial soil in 1980 for sportspersons during the 1982 Asiad in the Capital. However, it remained unoccupied for 20 years before the Delhi Government shifted into it in 2001.
This also happens to be one of the five important buildings that were in the process of being retrofitted to withstand tremors as part of a pilot project in cooperation with US Government.
"Engagements of a lawyer arises out of a contract and a vakalatnama is signed by the parties and it does not mean that it casts statutory obligations under the Act upon an advocate to perform certain functions by way of service," observed the commission comprising president Justice J D Kapoor and member Mahesh Chandra.
Elaborating further, Justice Kapoor said, "if the services rendered by a lawyer are brought within the services contemplated by the Consumer Protection Act, then every client will file a complaint by taking a plea that his counsel had assured success and since he lost the case, he is guilty of deficiency in service".
The order came on an appeal filed by Anisur Rehman wherein he sought compensation against his advocate Sagheer Ahmed alleging that his counsel failed to appear in one of his case even after taking the fees in advance.
Dismissing the appeal, the Commission distinguished lawyers from the doctors and said "legal profession is such a profession which is quite different from medical profession and it involves a lot of arguments and counter arguments and it is not like operating a person with scissors and knife or admitting a person who may suffer from illness".
The commission felt that there are different forums like Bar Council of India and Bar Associations for initiating action against a lawyer and a civil suit can also be filed.
Talking tough on the growing trend of filing frivolous Public Interest Litigations (PILs), the Delhi High Court today warned that it would impose heavy costs on people approaching it with unclean hands and ulterior motives.
"PILs have become a nuisance. Ninety five per cent of PILs are frivolous. We are not able to discharge our normal judicial function due to this kind of litigation," a Division Bench headed by Chief Justice Markandeya observed dismissing a PIL filed by People for Social Reforms seeking ban on import of poultry products.
"It is disturbing the delicate balance of power between the three organs of the state devised under the Constitution. The time has come to check frivolous PILs," the Chief Justice said.
The petitioner had sought a complete ban on import of poultry products in India in view of the spread of bird flu in some countries.
Demanding a blanket ban on the import of poultry products in India, the NGO had challenged a government notification which banned such import only from the countries affected by the avian flu.
The police resorted to lathicharge to disperse villagers who were protesting against death of a woman who had fallen from a tractor trolley on NTPC premises here. The woman was one of the labourers who had gone to the fields for the grass-cutting job.
The agitators were demanding compensation for the victim's family. After lathicharge, police sent the body for autopsy. The woman's mother lodged an FIR against the tractor driver.
Police said Pushpa Devi of Pyali village had come for cutting the grass on Thursday morning as usual and was returning at 4 pm in a tractor trolley packed with other labourers. Driver Naresh was driving the vehicle very fast.
Pushpa Devi fell down from the trolley suddenly and its rear wheels crushed her to death on the spot. Hundreds of villagers rushed to the spot on hearing the news of her death. They placed her body at the NTPC Colony gate and blocked the entry.
Dadri Dy DM Ghanshyam Singh CO police, Treveni Singh tried to pacify the protestors who kept demanding compensation for Pushpa Devi's death.
The Delhi High Court today directed the MCD Commissioner to take appropriate action against a Licensing Inspector who backed out from the instruction given to the civic body's lawyer in court. Taking strong exception to the conduct of Licencing Inspector Jaichand, a Division Bench of Justice Vijender Jain and Justice R S Sodhi asked the MCD Commission to take action against him and file an action taken report before the court.
Hearing separate applications filed by two kiosk owners near Uphaar Cinema in Green Park Extension area of South Delhi, Jaichand instructed MCD counsel Vinay Sabharwal that the kiosks were not obstructing the vehicular or pedestrian traffic and the latter accordingly made his submission.
However, when the Bench sought to know the name of the official, Jaichand blatantly denied having given any such instruction to Sabharwal.
The court took a serious view of the matter observing that it was on the conduct of these officials that the execution of directions of the court and the MCD depended. Later, Jaichand apologised to the court for his conduct but the Bench did not change the order.
The court also dismissed the two applications in view of the fact that the applicants had gone to the Supreme Court which dismissed their SLP against the High Court order.
Earlier, the Bench had directed the MCD and city police to remove all squatters — licensed or unlicensed — from Green Park Extension area of South Delhi.
The court said only PCOs and taxi stands could be allowed to operate on footpaths and not others.
The court has also ordered the authority to file an affidavit in the matter and order an inquiry in the said allotment.
The two-member bench of Justice Sushil Harkoti and Justice Sanjay Mehra has pronounced this decision in the case filed by Sunita Rani and others through their advocate Amit Khemka.
The court has asked the Greater Noida authority the basis of cancelling these plots.
Greater Noida authority had come up with an ambitious residential scheme of 376 plots last year and a draw for these plots was held on January 17 and 18 this year.
During the draw for 38 plots, a man was caught red-handed with a fake chit. After this GNIDA had cancelled the 37 plots and held a redraw on January 18.
These 37 applicants had gone to the court. On October 5, GNIDA Chairman Rakesh Bahadur had cancelled the allotment of 37 plots. The successful allottees had again taken the matter to court.
The High Court had ordered Greater Noida authority not to issue allotment letters by October 25 to all applicants who had been successful on January 17 and 18. The court had also asked the authority to make the video recording of draw held on January 18 for 37 plots.
In a memorandum to the President, Mr Heera Lal Jawaddi, general secretary of the Punjab unit of the Sangarsh Committee, alleged that BSP leader Mayawati had kept Mr Kanshi Ram "under confinement on the pretext of his being ill" and supporters of the BSP founder were not being allowed to meet him. — TNS

The BSES vigilance team apprehended two individuals, identified as Ravi Kumar and Naresh Kumar, employees of M/s Flexione, in Shakarpur with certain official documents. During interrogation, they confessed their involvement in the extortion racket.
The individuals confessed to threatening consumers to pay around Rs 400-500 in exchange for favorable reports in cases relating to temporary/permanent disconnection.
Additional Session Judge Narottam Kaushal dismissed charges of kidnapping and rape against Sumeet holding that "the alleged victim did not support the prosecution case and stated that she had gone of her own free will and was not enticed by him".
"Neither did she depose that the accused had misbehaved or misconducted with her," the court further observed.
The prosecution examined 12 witnesses. However, even the medical evidence was found insufficient to convict Sumeet.
The girl's mother, who worked as a domestic help in Pushp Vihar, South Delhi, reported to the police that her daughter was missing on September 29, 2004.

With the housing market collapse and credit crunch, the real estate market shifted to a buyer's market, with favorable real estate prices tipping toward those in the market to buy.
Due to these changes, Pillar To Post (PTP), a home inspection company in 43 states, sought to align its messaging to better include sellers. After a first phase throughout 2007 that developed the home pre-inspection trend, the company looked to 2008 to garner media attention.
With the support of AOR Diboll & Associates, PTP sought to generate a conversation about these programs, with particular attention paid to real estate and trade press, says Dan Steward, president of PTP. "We were very [interested] to get two targets: real estate brokers and consumers who had a home up for sale, and who our services would help shorten the days on the market and [achieve] a higher price," he says.
Since the first phase had set up the trend, the second phase aimed to capitalize on the nationally publicized pre-list inspection trend.
To ensure national and local coverage, the agency created marketing materials, including talking points, techniques, and releases, made available to about 500 local home inspectors, which became more important as the market went into free-fall, according to Diboll's president Alison Diboll.
Over the course of the campaign, Steward notes this offering "has grown from zero awareness to now [several] inspectors finding upward of 10% to 20% of their business coming from this line." This communications strategy helped the business become "more valuable" to realtors, Steward says. Also, it achieved placements in outlets like The Wall Street Journal and ABC News.
Diboll and PTP plan to continue with these programs, Steward says.

Holy Fire in California: Evacuations in effect as fire in Cleveland National Forest burns
By: KGTV
CLEVELAND NATIONAL FOREST, Cali. — Evacuation orders remained in effect Tuesday in light of a fast-moving wildfire that erupted in the Cleveland National Forest the day before.
The blaze dubbed the Holy Fire is zero percent contained and has burned at least 4,000 acres as of Tuesday morning, according to the U.S. Forest Service.
According to fire officials, the Holy Fire erupted at around 1:30 p.m. Monday near Holy Jim Canyon and Trabuco Creek roads. It initially burned 7-10 acres in the Trabuco Canyon area, but exploded in size to at least 4,000 acres by 8 p.m.
The fire was moving at a moderate rate of speed as of early Monday evening, but flames have destroyed at least one structure and threatened several communication towers at the top of a nearby hill.
At least 600 firefighters from multiple agencies were assigned to battle blaze. Cal Fire air tankers and water-dropping helicopters were requested to conduct aerial fire attack operations after sunset, even though night flying is regarded as inherently dangerous and not all water-fighting helicopters are configured to operate in darkness.

— Cleveland NF (@ClevelandNF) August 7, 2018
Precautionary evacuation orders were issued for the sparsely populated Holy Jim community and Trabuco Canyon area, home to dozens of weekend cabins. All campgrounds in the Trabuco Ranger District were closed and forest road closures were in effect for Trabuco Creek, Maple Springs, North Main Divide, Bedford and Indian Truck Trail. Also, Blue Jay Campground and El Cariso Campground off Highway 74 were evacuated.
Two people hiking near a canyon when the fire erupted had to be rescued and are now safe, according to fire officials. Officials also said two people were treated due to heat-related injuries.
The Holy Jim trail, near where the fire is burning, is a 2.8-mile trail that connects several other mountain trails together. Summertime temperatures in the area regularly climb into the triple digits.
Fire officials said they believe the area has not burned since 1980.

It's the hardest conversation to have, and the last thing anybody wants to talk about. However, our latest TV campaign and integrated content strategy tackles death head-on, by using a relatable and popular brand ambassador in Debbie McGee.
The integrated TV campaign aims to get people talking openly about funerals, because once they do, they'll recognise how important it is to them and their family - especially when it comes to paying for it.
However, that requires changing the conversation to something people can relate to.
Strategically, we went back to basics - talking to 'consumers' as people, and thinking about the simple emotion of death and what it means to the most important people - your family. The trouble is, unlike many cultures, we simply don't talk about death.
That makes it difficult to gain credibility as a brand in the conversation. So, rather than talking 'at' consumers about funerals in our content, we opened a conversation, and made it personal...
Debbie McGee is not only a recognisable figure in her own right, but she is synonymous with her husband, Paul Daniels who sadly passed away. This made her the perfect brand ambassador for Promis Life. We are attaching passions, memories and emotive moments to the conversation, all built around the credibility of a real situation, and a real family - immediately heightening the integrity in the TV and across every brand content touch-point.
This alongside the Feefo rating, helps cement brand trust in what is a sensitive area. With branded captions and a clear CTA, we're making sure the creative works hard in converting and generating solid ROI.

"The Friends of Israel Initiative." It sounds innocent enough. Hey, I'm a friend of Israel too. But with "Friends" like these - an international network of hard-core neoconservatives - Israel doesn't need enemies. Though they claim to be apolitical and take no positions on the specifics of the Israel-Palestine conflict, these neocon Friends are clearly out to bolster Israel's right-wing policies, which would condemn Israelis as well as Palestinians to an endless round of conflict, insecurity and suffering.
The Friends first organized themselves in Europe. Their chief spokesman (or is it front man?) is former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar. Their supporters include the one-time progressive hero of Czech freedom, Vaclaw Havel, as well as Northern Ireland's Nobel Peace Prize winner David Trimble and Alejandro Toledo, who was a self-proclaimed liberal as president of Peru. Old neocons don't die, it seems. They go global.
Their latest and most importance appearance was in Washington, where Aznar was very busy addressing the Council on Foreign Relations, hosting a dinner for the neocon elite, giving copious interviews and talking with friendly members of the House and Senate. Opening doors for Aznar was the most prominent American supporter of the Friends, John Bolton, who once carried the neocon flag proudly as G. W. Bush's ambassador to the UN.
It begins with a simplistic version of Samuel Huntington's "clash of civilizations" fantasy: "We believe in the West, in the values we all share," Aznar proclaimed. Now "it is necessary to enforce" Western values, because "the threat to our way of life from radical Islamists is real.... There are those who would like to destroy our system to impose their vision, like the revolutionary ayatollahs in Iran, or the jihadists led or inspired by Al Qaeda."
Reflecting the racism of the neocon worldview, Aznar scorned Osama bin Laden for "reveal[ing] the Arab mind" when bin Laden said, "if someone has to choose between a strong horse and a weak horse, he will invariably choose the strong one."
Yet, Aznar immediately revealed the neocon mind's own obsession with strength and its fear of weakness. "For decades if not centuries," he said, "the strong horse has been the West.... The threat is the weakness of the European system, the Western system of values.... Our weakness, perceived or real, is the strength of our enemies."
However (and this is a point the neocons' critics often miss), the war they want to wage is not primarily the old-fashioned kind, fought with guns and bombs to gain territory or resources: "If we want to prevail over our adversaries we must start reinforcing ourselves, starting with the ideological front and the war of ideas.... We can counter-attack, defend ourselves and strengthen our values.... It is indispensable to defend our moral values."
The overriding issue for neocons is what Aznar called "moral clarity.... There is still right and wrong in this complicated world." Their greatest fear is not Iran or al-Qaeda, but what they see as the blurring of moral absolutes, the moral chaos, in the West: "If we allow those fundamentals to be blurred and eroded and confused, we will all be dangerously adrift."
The argument begins by affirming precisely the fact that drove so many Arabs to resist Zionism from the beginning: "We consider Israel not as a Middle Eastern country, but a Western country in the Middle East. We share the same traditions, roots, values.... Israel is a corner stone of our Western civilization," because "Judeo-Christian values form the roots of our civilization.... Therefore, the interests of Israel are our interests."
And Israel, it seems, is now the place where Judeo-Christian values are most under attack, making it the front line in the global battle of values: "Israel is the first line of defense against global jihadism.... Defending Israel is ultimately defending the western roots, the western values that many in Europe and some in America, seem to have forgotten. They are not obsolete. And the best proof is precisely Israel and its people."
Why is Israel the best proof? I'll skip over Aznar's fulsome praise of Israel's Western-style democracy, not only because that democracy is so flawed (even in Israel itself and much more so in the occupied territories), but because neocons have never seriously cared very much about democracy anyway. Their main concern has always been preserving the traditional values that (they imagine) are the only thing standing between us and total anarchy - especially the value of self-restraint, as shown in strong (masculine) will power and a readiness for self-sacrifice. Israel is so valuable in the neocon's eyes because, Aznar claimed, "it is one of the few nations willing to pay a price for your survival, a nation that will do whatever it takes to defend itself."
In this weird tangle of twisted thinking, one contradiction is especially glaring. Aznar said over and over that Israel must be treated as a legitimate, normal country, just like any other. Yet, over and over, he treated Israel as a unique country that carries a distinctive and heavy weight of symbolic meaning unlike any other. It's precisely because Israel and its right-wing supporters constantly insist on the unique symbolic value of the "Jewish state," and claim unique privileges for their state, that they've run into the problem that they call delegitimization in the first place. Most of Israel's critics would back off if Israel presented itself and behaved like an ordinary normal nation.
Aznar went deeper into illogic by offering a new version of the old domino theory: "Israel is under a new kind of attack - an attack on Israel's legitimacy, on her right to exist.... Delegitimizing Israel undermines our identity, warps our values and put at risk what we are and who we are.... if Israel at one moment disappeared or was attacked as a consequence of threats, the next territory to be confronted directly would be Europe.... Letting Israel be demonized will lead to the deligitimation of our own cherished values. If Israel were to disappear by the force of its enemies, I sincerely doubt the West could remain as we know it.... If Israel goes down, we all go down ... the West as we know it would cease to exist."

Mountain type
by Walter Crookall and Geoff Chapman
Mount Anne is a mountain located in the Southwest National Park in south-west region of Tasmania, Australia. The mountain lies within the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Tasmanian Wilderness.
With an elevation of 1,423 metres (4,669 ft) above sea level,[1] Mount Anne is within the forty highest mountains in Tasmania, and is the highest in south-west Tasmania, adding to its appearance of prominence.[2] It dominates the area surrounding Lake Pedder.
Location and features
Although a primarily dolerite structure, it has a large sub-structure of dolomite, which contains an extensive cave system. This system includes the famous 'Anna-a-Kananda' cave -- one of the deepest caves in Australia.[3] Several cavers have been killed trying to explore its depths.[4]
Mount Anne has a superb region of ancient Gondwanan-type vegetation on its north-east ridge, some of which are amongst the oldest surviving plant species on the planet.[]
Mount Anne was named by George Frankland after his wife, Georgina Anne in 1835.[5] Henry Judd reached the Mount Anne Plateau from the Huon Valley in 1880.[5] Walter Crookall and Geoff Chapman, members of the Hobart Walking Club found a way to the top on 25 December 1929.[6] The long hike from Maydena or Huonville became a day-walk after the construction of the Scotts Peak Dam Road in 1970.[6]
A hut was constructed on the nearby Mt Eliza by the Hobart Walking Club in 1974 to ease access to the mountain.[7]
Mount Anne is a common bushwalking destination for experienced walkers, the Mount Anne circuit is a 4-day walk that can include summiting Mount Anne.[8]

I really can't say what board this is but its a beta sample. What i can show is the killer memory performance it has compared to what i have seen with NF4.
There will be more, this is VX, my EB does even better.

Just to show what i am running here.
Nice Everest scores you got there! DDR2-800 . Are those results on Intel or AMD system?
Edit: Got the message. It's AMD.
This is ddr1 m8...its upthere with what ddr2 800 scores.
its a 939 rig..so AMD.
Do you think is better than DFI then?
So its not NF4 most be ATI's new chipset??????????
Man, thats some NICE bandwidth!
U.K. overclockers: Represent your country, bench for EP-UK! Unite and show the world there IS a U.K. scene!
Without giving away the mnfr, can we assume that we will see an ATI board that actually supports overclocking in retail channels?
Wow, it looks like even though the next few months will be quiet on the CPU and Video card front, it's becoming more and more obvious it's going to be a great time for motherboards.
Impressive results, Tony, specially unbuffered.
How much VDimm on VX?
I've got Supermicro boards that lasted longer than one of my marriages!
Bigtoe, why aren't you getting better write speeds on NF3/4's?
Mine does 3150mbs with crappy TCCD @ 260x10 1:1.
I see alot of peeps with thier write speeds lower than mine on the same board with same timings?
I doubt it's any kind of glitch, it's been the same results with the last 3-4 new OS's.
This is why I want the DFI to have bank interleaving. I doubt it will however.
I wonder if this is a DFI based ATI chipset board? Hmmm... wondering if I should hold off on the Lanparty and get an ati chipset.
Well these are some pretty amazing numbers here. Looks like ati hinted enough that it is an ati based board.
I cant wait. Would love to have an all ati system over the nf3. Beeng wanting ati to coem out with a worth chipset.
Very interesting results. Will be nice to see what the ATI Chipset(s) are capable of, and what the mobo manufacturers will give us as options with these boards.
Me want ATI board Nooooow. Oh sorry.
Wow.....would that mean that ATI has resolved it's issues with the South Bridge, unless they are utilizing Uli's ummm I wonder ? Beta board...ummm....probably not out for a few months then...crap can't wait any longer.
On thing for sure, certainly seems to hold ground against nvidia at first look.

Can you say how much CPU utlization the USB eats up ? And what the USB read and write speeds are ?
I don't understand, what's the difference between the unbuffered and buffered benchmarks? Are they any kind of indications on real world performance?
The latest DFI nForce4 BIOS DOES add bank interleaving.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2020/376
of 5 March 2020
concerning the authorisation of Norbixin (annatto F) as a feed additive for cats and dogs
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition (1), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the re-evaluation of additives authorised pursuant to Council Directive 70/524/EEC (2).
Norbixin (annatto F) was authorised without a time limit in accordance with Directive 70/524/EEC as a feed additive for dogs and cats belonging to the group 'colourants, including pigments', under the heading 'colouring agents authorised for colouring foodstuffs by Community rules other than Patent blue V, Acid brilliant green BS, and Canthaxanthin'. This colourant was not specifically authorised but entered in this generic entry. The additive was subsequently entered in the Register of feed additives as an existing product, in accordance with Article 10(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of Norbixin (annatto F) as a feed additive for dogs and cats. The applicant requested the additive to be classified in the additive category 'sensory additives' and in the functional group 'colourants'. The application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
The European Food Safety Authority ('the Authority') concluded in its opinion of 22 March 2017 (3) that, under the proposed conditions of use, Norbixin (annatto F) does not have an adverse effect on animal health. It also concluded that the substance is a strong alkaline solution that makes it corrosive and therefore harmful for the user. Therefore, the Commission considers that appropriate protective measures should be taken to prevent adverse effects on human health, in particular as regards the users of the additive. In accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 429/2008 (4), phase I of the environmental risk assessment has determined that Norbixin (annatto F), as an additive intended for non-food producing animals, is exempted from further assessment due to the unlikelihood of a significant environmental effect, there being no scientifically-based evidence for concern having been identified by the Authority in its above-mentioned opinion. The Authority further concluded that the additive concerned is effective in adding colour to feedingstuffs. The Authority does not consider that there is a need for specific requirements of post-market monitoring. It also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the European Union Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. The report of the European Union Reference Laboratory for Feed Additives (EURL-FA) showed that the applicant did not submit any experimental data for the quantification of Norbixin (annatto F) in feedingstuffs. The applicant was requested to provide such data and the method was validated and included in an addendum of the EURL-FA report.
The assessment of Norbixin (annatto F) shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the use of that additive should be authorised as specified in the Annex to this Regulation.
Since safety reasons do not require the immediate application of the modifications to the conditions of authorisation of the substance concerned, it is appropriate to allow a transitional period for interested parties to prepare themselves to meet the new requirements resulting from the authorisation.
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
The substance specified in the Annex, belonging to the additive category 'sensory additives' and to the functional group 'colourants', is authorised as an additive in animal nutrition, subject to the conditions laid down in that Annex.
1. The substance specified in the Annex and premixtures containing that substance, which are produced and labelled before 26 September 2020 in accordance with the rules applicable before 26 March 2020 may continue to be placed on the market and used until the existing stocks are exhausted.
2. Feed materials and compound feed containing the substance specified in the Annex which are produced and labelled before 26 March 2022 in accordance with the rules applicable before 26 March 2020 may continue to be placed on the market and used until the existing stocks are exhausted.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Done at Brussels, 5 March 2020.

Q: How can I force-update HP printer drivers? After updating to Big Sur, one of my three Mac Minis doen't recognize my HP6980 LAN-printer (neither on WiFi nor ethernet). It thinks it is a PCL-laser printer. Duplex recognized but it only prints black/white (status color cartridges not shown). The other 2 Mac Minis have no issues.
How do I try to fix this?
Edit 20 dec 2020: The Mac giving the issue has a driver version 2.3
The Macs without issues have driver version 4.0.5. Even after "forcing" BS to choose the correct deskjet instead of the PCL-laser the wrong driver persists.

A: We have had luck connecting a HP printer to the mac with USB, adding it to a local print queue and then letting software update install the drivers. The drivers are mostly monolithic so any update to any HP generally gets them all updated in one shot.
In the past, they had used a certificate to sign their helper app and when it was revoked, many chose to go get the driver and install it but I haven't needed that procedure since a month after that event.

Q: MAMP server not working after OS Sierra update I recently updated to the latest version of macOS and can't get an old MAMP-dependent project I have to run. It was working fine right before I upgraded. I googled my way around thinking the upgrade might be something simple like the previous OS upgrade fix that required simply renaming the file but I couldn't fine anything.
Has anyone else had any MAMP issues with the latest macOS update or what are some common local environment fixes to look into after an OS update?

A: I was also having trouble with MAMP after having upgraded the Mac operating system to the High Sierra. The Apache Server was not starting. My MAMP is an old version (version 1.9). To solve I just created a folder called logs inside the Library folder. Only that and MAMP returned to normal operation.
I found this solution by seeing in the logs folder. In the Apache log (apache_error_log) I saw that it was looking for the "logs" folder inside the "Library" folder, which did not exist. So just creating this folder solved.
