Actual Play – The Sword (9/1/2012 10AM)
GM: Shaun Hayworth
Players: Sean Nittner and three peeps leaning the wheel.
System: Burning Wheel
Shaun and I were running demos of Burning Wheel HQ in the Games on Demand room for the Burning Wheel booth. The hope was to do a variety of game, but we had some misfires and only ended up running three games (Shaun 2, me 1).
Shaun ran the first game, which started with only two players. I hopped in bumping it to three. Later we had a 4th add to complete the roster.
The sword is a fun scenario, it's a single scene where each character is presented with conflicting beliefs. They each want the sword for themselves but none of them want to fight for it. The Elf and the Dwarf because of personal moral codes, The Roden because he still hasn't been paid, and the Human because he sucks in a fight.
What I love about the game is that it forces players to make a decision about which belief to adhere to. The one demanding they take the sword, or the one honoring (or fearing) the other PCs.
Who gets the sword?
I played Brechtanz, which probably wasn't a good pick. As an experienced burner and player who is comfortable getting aggressive at the table Brechtanz was a bit too easy. I should have gone for Robard (the human) or Ssisz (the Roden). End result, I ended up with the sword, despite refusing to take it until others accepted my claim to it.
We also had one hiccup on the game, which was Robard convincing all of us that the sword was a fake. I didn't really know where to go with that. We planned to explore the ruins more, looking for the real one, but none of us were about to leave the sword behind. Even as a "fake" it looks amazing. Shaun was gracious and gave me a Steel test (for Greed) when the blade was finally drawn from the scabbard, failing that I claimed the "It must be mine result" and sought it anyway. That sort of worked, but it didn't honor the Let it Ride rules in spirit. I had effectively negated the lie by saying "well, this might not be the sword of my ancestors, but it's a beautiful blade and I'm not giving it up anyway!" So, not great on my part.
Teaching the System
One thing I really enjoyed about playing in Shaun's game (and later having him playing in mine) was that we work together pretty well to teach the rules. Thought we didn't hit a Fight! we did have a Duel of Wits (over the Roden getting paid) and it was fun to see new players interact with the DoW mechanics. I thought they got a hold of it just fine and were really good at acting out the moves without letting the mechanics eclipse role-playing. Anecdotal evidence shows that if people don't think Burning Wheel is "too hard" or that they should "fix it", it plays out just fine.
The woman playing the dancing, prancing elf was a stereotype but very fun. She abhorred the idea of conflict of violence but was positively delightful with her singing. Oh, and she revealed her grubby, greedy ways when it came time to barter with Ssisz. It was great!
Games on Demand had a lot of misfires. People who were told to come back in two hours when GMs were just minutes away. Or players that said they would come back, but never did, or came back after a game was full. Coordination could use a two things to help this.
A white board to record GMs names, games they would offer, time slots coming up and players who want to play in those games.
Central communication via text, tweet or email. Some way for the organizers a) know the GMs they had on staff and b) let them know when them when players arrived.

Elite Performance has been an invaluable program for my 16 y/o son who underwent ACL repair last June. My son has been very involved in athletics, specifically track and field, so this was a devastating injury. The folks at Elite are the best…they are positive, motivating, engaging, extremely knowledgeable and always professional and compassionate. By working with Elite as soon as a month after his surgery, he is now, 9 months later, ready for competition. More importantly, he is psychologically ready. Ben, the Physical Therapist at Elite, maintained contact with my son's PT and was able to come up with a program that built him up and brought him to a point where is better than 100%. All of the trainers are exceptional. Not only are they expert at what they do, but they are positive and motivating. Everyone at Elite has been very understanding of my son's situation, very flexible and available. I highly recommend this program to not only those who have had an injury, but to those who wish to get in the best shape possible. Thank you Elite for what you have done for my son!

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Judges at the highest U.N. court ordered Japan on Monday to halt whaling in the Antarctic, rejecting the country's argument that the catch was for scientific purposes.
The International Court of Justice sided with plaintiff Australia in finding that the scientific output of the whaling program was modest in comparison with the number of whales killed.
It said no further scientific whaling licenses should be issued.
"In light of the fact the JARPA II (research program) has been going on since 2005, and has involved the killing of about 3,600 minke whales, the scientific output to date appears limited," Presiding Judge Peter Tomka of Slovakia said.
Japan signed a 1986 moratorium on whaling, but has continued to hunt up to 850 minke whales in the icy waters of the Southern Ocean each year, citing a 1946 treaty that permits killing the giant mammals for research.
Whaling was once widespread around the world, but Japan is now one of only a handful of countries that continues the practice. The meat is popular with Japanese consumers who consider it a delicacy.
Judges agreed with Australia that the research - two peer reviewed papers since 2005, based on results obtained from just nine killed whales - was not proportionate to the number of animals killed.
While the judgment is an embarrassment to Japan, which has committed to abide by the court's ruling, Tokyo is free to continue whaling if it withdraws from the 1986 moratorium or the 1946 International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling.
"All eyes are now on Japan to respect this decision," the London-based World Society for the Protection of Animals said in a statement. "This decision sends a clear message to governments around the world that the exploitation of animals will no longer be tolerated and animals must be protected at the highest level.

ERNIE BALL Offers METALLICA Fans The Chance To Hang with KIRK + JAMES with The "HETFIELD + HAMMETT Experience"
Posted on September 7, 2017 by Ernie Ball and Metallica
ERNIE BALL, the iconic maker of SLINKY guitar strings and instrument accessories, has announced the launch of the "Hetfield + Hammett Experience," a partnership with longtime Ernie Ball artists and legendary guitarists JAMES HETFIELD and KIRK HAMMETT that will grant three lucky winners the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hang with the guitarists at METALLICA Headquarters in San Francisco, CA. See Hetfield and Hammett talking about "The Experience," below.
Winners will also take home their choice of a Hetfield or Hammett Signature ESP Guitar as well as an Ernie Ball Prize Pack complete with their favorite gauge of SLINKY guitar strings and other prizes. The contest launches today, September 7, and runs through October 31.
"I have to say that HQ is kinda like NASA," says Kirk Hammett. "You need the right credentials to get in, you need to know the right codes to get through the door. There are constantly people around making sure that whoever is there is there for a purpose. It's pretty tight because it's like the brain control…the mission control for all things Metallica."
This is a pretty cool opportunity to get into Metallica's creative space and see what it is, why it is, and what is in there that inspires us, said James Hetfield. "For me, as a fan of other bands, it would've been pretty awesome to have shown up in Phil Lynott's writing space. This is gonna be a very special moment for whoever gets to show up at HQ."
"To have artists like Kirk Hammett and James Hetfield trust our strings for over 35 years is something the Ernie Ball family is incredibly thankful and proud of," says Ernie Ball President Brian Ball. "It also means our strings have been along for the epic ride of 'Seek & Destroy,' 'For Whom The Bell Tolls,' 'Sad But True' and many of the band's biggest hits. We're excited about this contest and looking forward to connecting the band and a few lucky fans in a special way."
Fans can enter Ernie Ball's "Hetfield + Hammett Experience" by purchasing qualifying packs of Ernie Ball Strings at Guitar Center or from Musician's Friend, then entering the codes found inside the packs at ernieball.com/metallica for a chance to win.
ABOUT METALLICA
Metallica formed in 1981 by drummer Lars Ulrich and guitarist and vocalist James Hetfield and has become one of the most influential and commercially successful rock bands in history, having sold 110 million albums worldwide while playing to millions of fans on literally all seven continents. They have scored several multi-platinum albums, including 1991's Metallica (commonly referred to as The Black Album), with sales of nearly 17 million copies in the United States alone, making it the best-selling album in the history of Soundscan. Metallica has also garnered numerous awards and accolades, including nine Grammy Awards, two American Music Awards, and multiple MTV Video Music Awards, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in 2009. In December 2013, Metallica made history when they performed a rare concert in Antarctica, becoming the first act to ever play all seven continents all within a year, and earning themselves a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records. Metallica's latest album Hardwired…To Self Destruct was released on November 18, 2016 on Metallica's own Blackened Recordings record label and debuted at No. 1 around the world, selling over 800,000 copies worldwide in its first week.
ABOUT ERNIE BALL
In 1962, Ernie Ball revolutionized rock music with the introduction of Slinkys®, the iconic light-gauge electric guitar strings widely revered by some of the most important artists in rock history, including Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Jimmy Page, Pete Townshend, Jeff Beck, Slash and of course, Metallica, to name but a few. Ernie Ball strings have been used to write, record and perform some of the most important music in rock history. With its founder's dedication to preserving the musician's playing experience and delivering superior sound quality through the development of new products, the company continued its pursuit of innovation." Fifty-five years after giving us Slinkys, Ernie Ball is changing the landscape once again by creating PARADIGM, the world's strongest, most durable and technologically advanced guitar strings. Kirk Hammett was one of many rock guitarists who accepted Ernie Ball's challenge to try and snap the break-resistant strings – you can watch the results in this Billboard piece. Unlike their competitors, who are all corporate-owned, the Southern California-based company remains a family-run business. They employ a "techie artisan" approach that combines cutting-edge technology with handcrafted techniques and as pointed out by Adweek and Inc., they've become a high-quality content creator securing brand loyalty on the level of a major media organization. As Blink 182/Angels & Airwaves' Tom DeLonge recently said at the premiere of his "Ernie Ball: The Pursuit of Tone" television special, "Who would've thought that a company that makes guitar strings would be so influential? It's crazy." As covered by the Huffington Post, the company recently announced a new line of guitars, which they designed with Grammy winner St. Vincent.

I don't know if I've told you, but I'm writing a book. I might have mentioned it once or twice…or a hundred times.
The thing is, I really believe in this book. I've been working on it a long time…and by long time I mean more than a decade. Oy. I have started and stopped, re-written and tossed. I have had two characters remain at the core of the novel this entire time. They are my friends…at least I think they are. They may hate me since I've taken so long to tell their story.
How's that for deflection? I'll blame my ficticious characters for my unfinished novel.
This latest draft, however, is The One. You know how people always say you'll "just know" when you meet the person you're going to marry? Well, I just knew the second I wrote the first sentence of this version that I had finally tapped into the core of who my characters are.
Now, the challenge is to keep them moving and flowing forward in a cohesive manner.
Stephen King, my writing guru, says that when writing a novel you need to get it out as fast as you can. Don't stop to make edits, don't get hung up on the details – just write. You can go back later and fill in the holes.
I am finding this very difficult, Mr. King. I see the validity of this and want to follow this advice, but the temptation to edit is powerful. Because, you see, there are some moments in the book that are wonderful. I love how they read and the imagery is powerful and I was obviously in the zone when writing.
There are other moments in the book, however, that are worthy of no more than kindling for a chilly night. The rest of the book falls somewhere in between brilliant and suckalicious.
The problem with having worked on a book this long is I know exactly where I want my characters to go. For the most part. Some of them have already surprised me a bit. But it's the getting there that is slowing me down. I'm so impatient to get to the exciting part – the part of the story that I know – that I'm frustrated with the journey the characters are taking to get there. I am bogged down in the details.
Life in general is full ofsimilar ups and downs, isn't it? We have moments of excitement – first day of school, graduation, college, wedding day, birth of a child and so on…We live for these moments and anticipate them never really realizing the journey we take to get to those moments is every bit as important. Those important moments are the peaks and after every peak we must descend for a bit before we reach another milestone.
But don't we so often find ourselves impatient in the valleys and plateaus of life? We get bored and frustrated. We lose sight of the good of right now and only long and hope for the joy of the next big moment. But we need the valleys and the plateaus. They are, in fact, what builds…character.
It's the same with writing a book. The journey to the peak of each character's story is so important, but in the anticipation of the big moment, I am impatient. I'm bogged down in the details and the climb to the big moment feels endless and frustrating.
I just want to get to the good part.
But if I'm willing to relax, take a deep breath and enjoy the process of each step these characters take toward their individual peaks, I may actually learn a little something along the way. And in the end, the story of their lives will reveal so much more beauty through the toil of their climb to the top.
And yes, as I wrote that sentence I totally started singing this song.
Post edit: There seems to be some confusion by some to my statement that I won't allow my children to be alone with anyone outside of family members or friends who have earned the highest level of trust. The operative word in that statement is alone. My kids will, and do, go to homes to play with people that I don't know well. But there is still a level of trust that I've developed even with those families and I know that my kids are in a group and are safe. There are also a number of wise, godly men that have no relation to us that have earned such a level of respect with me that I want and desire them to have an influence on my boy's lives. But even those men would agree that taking my kid on a weekend trip alone would be unwise and outright foolish. When my boys are teenagers, a little more freedom will be given to them to meet with godly men who have earned my trust. But, in my mind, no matter how trust worthy a man (and yes, I have singled out men in this case because I am specifically talking about male leadership and its effect on my boys) there is never any reason for my boys to be meeting with him in private some place. Not only does it open the door to speculation, but it leaves them vulnerable. I won't do that to them. I don't distrust men. In fact, most people I meet earn my immediate respect and trust after just a few minutes. That doesn't change the fact, however, that I don't want my boys alone with them.
I read the Grand Jury report against Jerry Sandusky the other day. I wish I hadn't. I'm not linking to it here on purpose, but if you want to read it for yourself it's a short Google search away. But I'll warn you that it is both graphic and disturbing. So disturbing, in fact, that I was sick to my stomach for most of the day after reading it.
I am not a big college football follower so to be really honest, I had no idea that Joe Paterno was a college football coach. I knew his name by the mere fact that I live with Lee Stuart who is pretty much an expert on all things sport. I just figured Paterno was some famous Pro-team coach. That's how deep my level of college football expertise runs.
Today, however, I know more about Mr. Paterno and the things that I know, I do not like. Great football coach? I guess. But he's also a man that put football before a child. He put a game and a program before a little boy. He and several others chose silence and somehow they were able to sleep at night.
I don't have a lot of repect for Joe Paterno.
The devastating details of abuse at Penn State go beyond football obsession. It is more than just money and prestige that kept numerous people from doing the right thing and going to authorities and making sure Sandusky never had access to small children again. The problem is deeper than that.
The root of the issue is a selfishness so dark and wicked and ugly that it allows a man to remain silent after witnessing an act so heinous. Love of a game? Nah. Love of life? Nope. Love of self? I do believe so. The very idea that Sandusky was caught more than once makes me so deeply angry I find it hard to see straight. What stops someone from going to the authorities after seeing such evil? What resides in our hearts that allows us to choose right over such wrong?
Where was the respect for human life? Where was the simple act of putting the interests of someone else – a child, no less – above your own? It's baffling to me and yet somehow I know that I possess the same ability to cover up wrong to protect…me. Perhaps not to this horrific of a degree, but that type of self preservation resides in all of us. And I hate it. With every fiber of my being, I hate it.
Reading the report only confirmed to me the thing which I had already determined in my heart the second I found out I would birth a boy. My sons will never, under any circumstances, be alone with another man other than their father or close family members in whom I have placed my fullest trust. No youth worker, no teacher, no pastor or leader – no one at all will do anything alone with my boys.
I've long since held this position, but reading the report confirms it and then some. Jerry Sandusky gave every appearance of being trustworthy and good. Heck, he seemed downright admirable. Look at all the work he did for underprivilieged and at risk kids!
Yes, look at all the work he did for underprivileged and at risk kids.
There are kids who will never be the same because of Jerry Sandusky and the network of men who silently supported his sick addiction. How can we sit silently through this madness? At what point does our silence add to the problem?
How did those boys feel, knowing someone saw but nobody came? Silence can be deafening, you know.
I can understand why those young boys were allowed to spend time with Jerry Sandusky. Most of them were in need of a male figure and why not let your child spend the night in the home of a seemingly upright man with a heart of gold? I don't really blame the parents, though I wonder why they missed the signs. One mother tried. She noticed, she knew and she reacted but to what end?
For my part, I won't ever leave my child in the care of a man alone. My children won't sleepover at anyone's house unless I know the people extremely well, I know what goes on in that household and I have the topmost amount of respect for the people in whose care I'm placing my child.
The risks simply don't outweigh the benefits.
My sons won't go to lunch alone with another man. They won't participate in Bible studies where they are alone or secluded with another man. A public place? A group? Yes, provided I know and trust the person they're with. But alone? Never. It just won't happen. You see, these boys? They're mine. And I'll protect them at all costs.
So here I remain, a woman who knows little about college football but too much about a "legendary coach." I pity Joe Paterno, but I do not feel sorry for him. My heart breaks instead for the young men who were violated by his silence. Young men who were shown as boys no more than a blind eye and a blank stare.
What are your thoughts? What rules and guidelines do you have for your children regarding who they spend their time with and how they protect themselves from predators?
The kids and I are in St. Louis for the week. It's been an amazing, wonderful, refreshing week filled with many emotions. How blessed I am to have amazing mentors who love me and pour into me. It is humbling.
Sine I didn't bring my computer and tapping a post out on the iPad would be terribly painful, I instead would love for you to visit the Compassion site and read some of the amazing stories coming out of Ecuador. They are hilarious and beautiful and very, very moving.
Please check the bloggers out and consider sponsoring a child through Compassion. The experience is one you will never, ever regret.
Blessings everyone! I'm off to try and warm up. Four months in Florida and I think my blood may have already thinned. I'm freezing up here. Of course, I did leave my warm coat at home in the interest of traveling light. I miss St. Louis….I don't miss frigid air.

Q: javascript sql builder with quotes handle I am building my sql queries with squel, a lightweight library for building sql queries. Here is an example:
var s = squel.insert();
s.into("events");
s.set("admin_id", adminId);
s.set("start_date", startDate);
s.set("end_date", endDate);
s.set("group_id", groupId);
s.set("title", title);
s.set("location_id", locationId);
s.set("location_name", locationName);

The problem is that squel doesn't support entries with quotes. (i.e. for example, setting a value for a field to "O'Brien").
Can anyone recommend a javascript library that supports this?

A: I'm very surprised that SQUEL doesn't handle this because string delimiters in strings is a pretty common occurrence, but, how about using DONTQUOTE and handling the quoting yourself where necessary?
s.set("location_name", locationName, { dontQuote: true });

Zooming in on Asteroid Bennu
This set of 16 images shows the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft's steady approach toward the asteroid Bennu during the last half of October 2018. From Oct. 12 to Oct. 29, the long-range PolyCam camera took one optical navigation image per day, except on Oct. 16 and 17 when PolyCam was not scheduled to take images. The spacecraft was approximately 27,340 miles (44,000 km) from Bennu for the first image – a distance several thousand miles greater than the circumference of the Earth. The last image was taken from a distance of around 200 miles (320 km), or slightly less than the distance between Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

Layering bedding adds a fun pop to your bedroom. Mix bold colors and fun patterns to create your own design style.
This layered bed uses tone-on-tone pattern, textured pillows, a curvy art deco headboard and cotton voile quilt. In addition to being incredibly soft and stylish, this quilt features a different pattern on each side for a beautiful extra pop of pattern when it's folded back.
Everything needn't be matchy-matchy. Instead, play with the scale of your patterns and mix in bold colors. For instance, if you have a large print on your duvet, choose a smaller geometric print or stripes for the accent pillows. Repeat a bright color, such as yellow, from the duvet in accessories.
Sometimes it's hard to find just the right, mass-produced bedding. So skip the store and create custom bedding inspired by a favorite fabric. Here, an expensive patterned silk damask was the starting point, paired with solid, textured fabrics that were much less expensive. Sewing your own duvet is actually quite easy, or nearly any neighborhood seamstress or tailor can do it for you.
When making the bed, folding back the duvet to reveal a quilted silk coverlet lends a soft, inviting feel. A coordinating toss pillow with dark flowers echoes the bold wallpaper behind the bed and polishes off the look.
A ready-made duvet set will look anything but ordinary if you know how to mix it up. This duvet and sham set is given a high-end update with the addition of simple, hotel-style Euro shams with coordinating embroidered stripes. A small, graphic pillow ups the room's whimsical attitude and makes it a touch less girly.
A king-size bed is especially cushy with the addition of three Euro pillows and a custom-made bolster. A single orange accent pillow brings in a pop of color without interfering with the room's calming neutral palette.


Sentiment tag on this cute card front says, "Especially For You", there is also a blank alternative, so you may add your own wording. Insert has three options, one with a greeting that says: "Happy Birthday Wishes"; the other says "Happy Mother's Day"; the third is blank for personalising. A freebie Gift Box is included with this set, which has a tag on the back to add the recipient's name etc. and a heart embellishment to 3d onto the lid. Instructions included.


For embolized cerebral aneurysms, the initial occlusion rate is the most powerful parameter to predict aneurysm rerupture and recanalization. However, the occlusion rate is only estimated subjectively in clinical routine. To minimize subjective bias, computer occlusion-rating (COR) was successfully validated for 2D images. To minimize the remaining inaccuracy of 2D-COR, COR was applied to 1.5T 3D MR imaging.

FC BARCELONA EXTENDS HIGH-FLYING SWINGMAN HANGA
FC Barcelona reached a new agreement with swingman Adam Hanga to keep working together for three more years, with an option to extend it until the end of the 2022-23 season, the club announced on Tuesday. Hanga (2.01 meters, 30 years old) averaged 8.8 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 27 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague games last season, his second with Barcelona. He has helped Barcelona win back-to-back Spanish Copa del Rey titles. Hanga had a stellar 2016-17 season with KIROLBET Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz, averaging 10.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.3 steals in 33 games that season, and being chosen as the EuroLeague Best Defender by the competition's head coaches. In 128 career games over five EuroLeague seasons, Hanga has accumulated 1,117 points, 521 rebounds and 141 steals. He proved a major contributor to Baskonia reaching the EuroLeague Final Four in 2016 for the first time in eight years as he was the EuroLeague's fourth-best stealer and shot-blocker that season. Hanga started his career with Albacomp-UPC Szekesfehervar of his native Hungary and also played for Basquet Manresa of Spain and Sidigas Avellino of Italy. Hanga is a member of the Hungarian national team.

Q: How to avoid Fatal signal 6 (SIGABRT) on android I'm using HttpURLConnection to get a web service, the server is in the same network but the responce can be delayed to 60000ms (bcs of some complicated causes i must set it to 60000ms), when i hit listview item to call the webservice and waiting for the responce and loose the wifi signal and continue clicking the list my app crash with no exception the error is A/libc(9052): Fatal signal 6 (SIGABRT) on android at 0x000001e5 (code=0), thread 9052
more clear: webservice call+ wifi lost+ clicks = Fatal signal 6 code=0
I'm trying to avoid this by:

In this paper, the experimental investigation ofsolubility and initial absorption rate of CO2 gas in methanol and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethylsulfate, [emim][EtSO4] solution of amine-functionalized imidazolium based ionic liquids, namely 1-(3- aminopropyl)-3-methylimidazolium, [apmim], with tetrafluoroborate, [BF4], hexafluorophosphate, [PF6] and trifluoromethanesulfonate [OTf] anions are presented. All ionic liquids in this work are synthesized according to literature procedure and all experimental trials were carried out at T=303.15 K and pressure from atmospheric to 40 bar.

The refusal of the court to instruct the jury at the close of the plaintiff's evidence that he is not entitled to recover cannot be assigned for error if the defendant afterwards introduces evidence.
"this insurance shall not extend to death or disability which may have been caused wholly or in part by bodily infirmities or disease, or by suicide, or self-inflicted injuries,"
covers a death by hanging one's self while insane.
Statements in an application for a policy of insurance expressing the applicant's understanding of what will be the effect of the insurance cannot control the legal construction of the policy afterwards issued and accepted, although the application warrants the facts stated therein to be true, and the policy is expressed to be made "in consideration of the warranties made in the application."
"In consideration of the warranties made in the application for this insurance, and of the sum of fifty dollars, this company hereby insures Edward M. Crandal, by occupation, profession, or employment a president of the Crandal Manufacturing Company,"
wholly disable and prevent him from the prosecution of any and every kind of business pertaining to the occupation under which he is insured, then, on satisfactory proof of such injuries, he shall be indemnified against loss of time caused thereby in the sum of fifty dollars per week for such period of continuous total disability as shall immediately follow the accident and injuries as aforesaid, not exceeding, however, twenty-six consecutive weeks from the time of the happening of such accident."
"Provided always that this insurance shall not extend to hernia, nor any bodily injury of which there shall be no external and visible sign, nor to death or disability which may have been caused wholly or in part by bodily infirmities or disease or by the taking of poison or by any surgical operation or medical or mechanical treatment, and no claim shall be made under this policy when the death or injury may have been caused by dueling, fighting, wrestling, unnecessary lifting, or by overexertion or by suicide or by freezing or sunstroke or self-inflicted injuries."
"The undersigned hereby applies for a policy of insurance against bodily injuries effected through external and accidental violence, said policy to be based upon the following statement of facts, which I hereby warrant to be true."
external and visible sign, nor to any bodily injury happening directly or indirectly in consequence of disease, nor to death or disability caused wholly or in part by bodily infirmities or by disease, or by the taking of poison, or by any surgical operation or medical or mechanical treatment, nor to any case except when the accidental injury shall be the proximate and sole cause of disability or death."
The assured died July 7, 1884, and the plaintiff soon afterwards gave to the defendant written notice and proofs of the death which stated that the assured, while temporarily insane, hanged himself with a pair of suspenders attached to a door-knob in his bedroom. At the trial, the plaintiff introduced evidence that the death of the assured was caused by strangulation from his so hanging himself, and, against the defendant's objection and exception, was permitted to introduce evidence tending to show that he was insane at the time. At the close of the plaintiff's evidence, the defendant moved the court to instruct the jury that under the law and the evidence in the case, the plaintiff was not entitled to recover. The court overruled the motion, and the defendant excepted. The defendant then introduced evidence, and the case was argued to the jury.
The jury, under instructions to which no exception was taken, and in answer to specific questions from the court, returned a special verdict that Edward M. Crandal made the application; that the defendant issued the policy; that the premiums were fully paid, and the policy was in force at the time of his death; that he hanged himself on July 7, 1884, and thereof died on the same day; that he was insane at the time of his act of self-destruction, and that due notice and proof of death were given to the defendant; and, according to what, upon these facts, the opinion of the court in matter of law might be, found for the plaintiff in the full amount of the policy, or for the defendant. The court overruled a motion for a new trial and rendered judgment on the verdict for the plaintiff. 27 F. 40. The defendant sued out this writ of error.
policy was in force, the assured died by hanging himself, being at the time insane, and that due notice and proof of death were afterwards given.
"this insurance shall not extend to death or disability which may have been caused wholly or in part by bodily infirmities or disease, or by suicide or self-inflicted injuries"
covers a death by hanging oneself while insane.
top of a house." Horn v. Anglo-Australian Ins. Co., 30 Law Journal (N.S.) Ch. 511, 7 Jurist (N.S.) 673. And in another case, Chief Justice Appleton said that "the insane suicide no more dies by his own hand than the suicide by mistake or accident," and that, under such a policy, "death by the hands of the insured, whether by accident, mistake, or in a fit of insanity, is to be governed by one and the same rule." Eastabrook v. union Ins. Co., 54 Me. 224, 227, 229. Many of the cases cited for the plaintiff in error are inconsistent with the settled law of this Court, as shown by the decisions above mentioned.
In this state of the law, there can be no doubt that the assured did not die "by suicide" within the meaning of this policy, and the same reasons are conclusive against holding that he died by "self-inflicted injuries." If self-killing, "suicide," "dying by his own hand," cannot be predicated of an insane person, no more can "self-inflicted injuries," for in either case it is not his act.
Nor does the case come within the clause which provides that the insurance shall not extend to "death or disability which may have been caused wholly or in part by bodily infirmities or disease." If insanity could be considered as coming within this clause, it would be doubtful, to say the least, whether, under the rule of the law of insurance which attributes an injury or loss to its proximate cause only, and in view of the decisions in similar cases, the insanity of the assured, or anything but the act of hanging himself, could be held to be the cause of his death. Scheffer v. Railroad Co., 105 U. S. 249, 105 U. S. 252; Trew v. Railway Passengers' Assurance Co., 5 H. & N. 211, and 6 H. & N. 839, 845; Reynolds v. Accidental Ins. Co., 22 Law Times (N.S.) 820; Winspear v. Accident Ins. Co., 42 Law Times (N.S.) 900, aff'd, 6 Q.B.D. 42; Lawrence v. Accidental Ins. Co., 7 Q.B.D. 216, 221; Scheiderer v. Travelers' Ins. Co., 58 Wis. 13.
of mind often, if not always, is accompanied by or results from disease of the body, still, in the common speech of mankind, mental are distinguished from bodily disease. In the phrase "bodily infirmities or disease," the word "bodily" grammatically applies to "disease" as well as to "infirmities," and it cannot but be so applied without disregarding the fundamental rule of interpretation that policies of insurance are to be construed most strongly against the insurers who frame them. The prefix of "bodily" hardly affects the meaning of "infirmities," and it is difficult to conjecture any purpose in inserting it in this proviso other than to exclude mental disease from the enumeration of the causes of death or disability to which the insurance does not extend.
In the argument for the plaintiff in error, some stress was laid on the fact that the concluding paragraph of the application differs in form of expression so as to include mental as well as bodily diseases. It is by no means clear that this is so, but if it were, it would not affect the case. The whole application is not made part of the contract, and the only mention of it in the policy is in the opening words, "In consideration of the warranties made in the application for this insurance." This does not include all the statements in the application, but only those which are warranties. Some of them may be; others clearly are not. The statements as to the age, occupation, previous state of health, and present habits of the assured, and as to his other insurance, may be warranties on his part. Those as to the amount, terms, and payee of the policy applied for certainly are not. The statements expressing his understanding of what will be the effect of the insurance are statements not of fact, but of law, and cannot control the legal construction of the policy afterwards issued and accepted.
of what the injury is "caused by," but it looks only to the "means" by which it is effected. No one doubts that hanging is a violent means of death. As it affects the body from without, it is external, just as suffocation by drowning was held to be in the cases of Trew, Reynolds, and Winspear, above cited. And according to the decisions as to suicide under policies of life insurance before referred to, it cannot, when done by an insane person, be held to be other than accidental.

Indian Express Newspaper v. Union of India
In the Supreme Court of India
Name of the case INDIAN EXPRESS NEWSPAPER PRIVATE LTD. v. UNION OF INDIA
Citation (1985) 2 S.C.R. 287
Year of the Case 1985
Appellant INDIAN EXPRESS NEWSPAPER PRIVATE LTD.
Respondent Union of India
Bench/ Judges VENKATARAMIAH, E.S. (J), REDDY, O. CHINNAPPA (J), SEN, A.P. (J)
Act Involved Customs Act, Constitution of India
Important Section Article 19(2), section 25 of the custom act, Article 19(1)(a) and (g), article 13(3) and article 14
The Supreme Court of India guided the central government to reconsider its tax assessment strategy by assessing whether it established an inordinate weight on papers. The solicitors, including news organizations and workers, contended that an import obligation prompted an expanded expense of papers and a drop available for use, consequently antagonistically influencing the right to speak freely of discourse and articulation. The Court contemplated that an administration can impose charges on the distribution of papers, anyway inside sensible cut-off points to not endless supply of articulation. However, the Court saw that neither the candidates nor respondents demonstrated the inordinate idea of taxation rates, along these lines calling upon the administration to rethink its tax collection strategy with respect to the papers.
In the case of Express Newspaper v. Union of India, a statutory wage board had established a minimum wage that newspapers must pay to all the working journalists compulsorily. Thus, the regulations of the wage board violated Article 19(1)(a).
Background of The Case
These petitions on behalf of certain newspaper establishments challenged the constitutional validity of the Working journalists (Conditions of Service) and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1955, and the legality of the decision of the Wage Board, constituted thereunder, purporting to act under s. 9 of the Act. The impugned Act, which was passed in order to implement the recommendations of the Press Commission and had for its object the regulation of the conditions of service of working journalists and other persons employed in newspaper establishments, provided, inter alia, for the payment of gratuity to a working journalist who had been in continuous service, whether before or after the commencement of the Act, for not less than three years, even when he voluntarily resigned from service, regulated hours of work and leave, provided for the payment of retrenchment compensation with retrospective effect in certain cases and by s. 9(1) laid down the principles that the Wage Board was to follow in fixing the rates of wages of working journalists. Under those principles the Wage Board was to have regard to the cost of living, the prevalent rates of wages for comparable employments, the circumstances relating to the newspaper industry in different regions of the country and to any other circumstances which it might consider relevant.
The petitioners contended on various grounds that the provisions of the impugned Act violated their fundamental rights under Arts. 19(1)(a), 19(1)(g), 14 and 32 Of the Constitution and that the decision of the Wage Board fixing the rates and scales of wages, which was arrived at without any consideration whatsoever as to the capacity of the newspaper industry to pay the same, imposed too heavy a financial burden on the industry and spelled its total ruin, was vitiated by a wrong approach and non-application of the proper criteria and transgressed the principles of natural justice and was, therefore, illegal and void:
Held, that the constitutional validity of the impugned Act, with the sole exception of s. 5(1)(a)(iii) of the Act which infringed Art. 19(1)(g) of the Constitution, was beyond question and as that section, severable as it was from the rest of the Act, must alone be declared ultra vires. Section 9(1) of the Act, properly construed, made it income-bent on the Wage Board to take into consideration the capacity of the newspaper industry to pay the rates and scales of wages recommended by it and as there was nothing to indicate that it bad done so, its decision was void and inoperative.
The Petitioners, in this case were companies, employees and the shareholders thereof just as trusts occupied with the distribution of papers. They challenged the import obligation on newsprint under the Custom Tariff Act 1975 and the auxiliary duty under the Finance Act 1981, as altered by the notices under the Custom Act 1962 with impact from March 1, 1981. Preceding this notice, newsprint had delighted in exemption from customs duty.
The petitioners fought that the burden of this duty adversely affect the cost and circulation and, in this manner, crippling effect on freedom of expression under Article 19(1)(a) of the Indian Constitution and the freedom of practice any trade and occupation under Article 19(1)(g). they further justified that no public interest supported such an obstruction with these fundamental rights in light of the fact that the foreign exchange position of India was aggregable at that point. At last, they submitted that the order of newspaper into small, medium, and large newspapers disregarded the rule of non-arbitrariness under Article 14 of the Constitution (Equality before law).
The government contended that the burden of cost borne by the newspapers and the position of foreign exchange reserves were unessential considerations. The public interest associated with tax collection was to expand the revenue of the government, a burden that is borne by all the residents of the nation. It stated that the exclusion granted to newsprint was not justified and, therefore, could be expelled by the government.
Whether in the name of public interest, reasonable interference is justified.
Whether Article 14, classification of newspaper for imposing customs duty is discriminatory.
Whether government should be more cautious about the people's right to know the imposition of the tax.
Whether a sole guide help in understanding the principles of freedom of speech and expression.
Is freedom of press restrictions is included under article 19(2)
Tax on knowledge, persons right to know the imposition of the tax government to be more cautious.
Related Provision
The provision involved in this particular case were as follows:
Article 19(2) states that "Nothing in sub clause (a) of clause ( 1 ) shall affect the operation of any existing law, or prevent the State from making any law, in so far as such law imposes reasonable restrictions on the exercise of the right conferred by the said sub clause in the interests of the sovereignty and integrity of India, the security of the State, friendly relations with foreign States, public order, decency or morality or in relation to contempt of court, defamation or incitement to an offence"
Article 19(1)(a) states that "freedom of speech and expression"
Article 19(1) (g) states that "practise any profession, or to carry on any occupation, trade or business"
article 13(3) states that "In this article, unless the context otherwise requires law includes any Ordinance, order, bye law, rule, regulation, notification, custom or usages having in the territory of India the force of law; laws in force includes laws passed or made by Legislature or other competent authority in the territory of India before the commencement of this Constitution and not previously repealed, notwithstanding that any such law or any part thereof may not be then in operation either at all or in particular areas"
article 14 states that "Equality before law The State shall not deny to any person equality before the law or the equal protection of the laws within the territory of India Prohibition of discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth"
section 25 of the custom act talks about the power to grant exemption from their duty.
Related Case Laws
The cases cited and relied by both the parties in this case were as follows:
Sakal Papers Pvt. Ltd.& Ors v. The Union of India
Attorney General v. rimes Newspapers
A.K. Gopalan v. The State of Madras
Ch. Tika Ramjidas v. State of U. P.
The State of Madras v. V. G. Row
The State of West Bengal v. Subodh Gopal Bose
Virendra v. State of Punjab
Dr. N. B. Khare v. State of Delhi
Ourbachan v. State of Punjab
The SC of India observed that the government was in reality enabled to exact charges influencing the distribution of newspapers in light of the fact that such distribution could be characterized as an industry and must be dependent upon the same levies as other industries. It also permitted that the characterization into small, medium, and large based on financial distribution had a normal nexus with the goal of tax assessment and could not be viewed as arbitrary. In any case, where the power of tax collection infringes upon the freedom of expression under Article 19(1)(a), the limitation on the freedom must be within reasonable limits.
Reasonable limits have been illustrated in the Article 19(2) of the Indian Constitution, wherein "Public Interest" is a ground that might be taken to restrict freedom of expression. The court inferred that two fundamental principles must be borne in mind: firstly, newspapers appreciate the advantage of taxpayer government services like every single other industry and should contribute a sensible portion of government income through tax collection; and secondly, the weight of taxation must not be extreme.
Yet, the court observed that neither the respondents nor petitioners demonstrated the excessive nature of tax burdens, in this way calling upon the government to rethink its taxation policy regarding the newspaper.
Concepts Highlighted
This case takes note of that the media's job as the fourth home is important to majority rule government and, along these lines, must be shielded from official obstruction. It noticed that an unreasonable weight of tax collection could not be put on the media. This standard extends the opportunity of the press to measurements past direct guideline of substance to financial control. The weight of tax collection on papers must be with the end goal that they can be plausibly released. This standard shield the press from demands that would injure the business and controls the capacity of the legislature to influence flexibly of papers inside the nation. It is concluded that the two principles must be put in mind that:
Newspaper appreciate the advantage of taxpayer government services like every single other industry and should contribute a sensible portion of govt. income through tax collection.
The burden of taxation must not be extreme.

Industrial Fans Vs. Commercial Fans ...
Industrial Fans Vs. Commercial Fans: The Pros and Cons
March 18, 2019 popadmin Uncategorized No comments
The oldest thing that is constant in our history books and probably one of man's first simple tool is a fan. Fashioned from a simple tool, a humble fan evolved from fashioned feathers and what-not to a mechanized solution of the modern times. Even with the invention of an air-conditioning unit, a fan remains as the most basic and energy efficient cooling system we have as of today. As opposed to an aircon unit, a fan simulates wind and natural airflow creating a pleasant breeze for anyone.
Although a typical person would easily describe a fan mainly based on the material used, there are big differences between a commercial fan and an industrial fan. The differences between the two lies in terms of its size, variation, typical use and durability. Industrial-grade fans usually consists of two types: centrifugal and axial fans -usually centrifugal fans are ones where the air is concentrated towards its core (flow and pressure) whereas axial fans are directed outwards (flow). Although both are produced commercially for different uses, the fans we normally use are axial fans
Axial fans consist of several parts –the motor where the shaft is connected and the blades where air is distributed through. Here it would be easier to discuss the difference between the two in terms of material, construction, motor, airflow speed and function indus.
The easiest thing to note between the two are the materials used for each. Commercial fans or general-purpose fans are made usually made from light gauge sheet steel. Although nowadays, plastic and metal are commonly used. As they are usually made from light materials, construction is easy -it is bolted and mounted into its base motors. These base motors are resilient although they are less durable than industrial grade ones. In terms of design and flexibility, the advantage of using a commercial fan is that there can be a variety of design, material finishes or pattern that can be incorporated into blades. This allows commercial fans to be easily fabricated with a range of design and color.
Meanwhile, an industrial fan, often bigger in size and capacity comes with a limited set of finishes. Made from heavy gauge cast aluminum or stainless steel, industrial grade fans are often more functional looking than commercial ones. There is also a big difference in terms of range and length of blades as commercial ones have less reach than an industrial fan. As it is made for heavy duty and continuous work, industrial-grade fans are welded as to ensure strength and longevity of the material. Contrary to the commercial fans, an industrial fan is more rigid and not easily repackaged and reassembled. But having such a rigid construction can also have its benefits. Despite more expensive than commercial ones, industrial fans outperform them in terms of durability. Where a general-purpose fan has a span of 4-years at max, industrial grade fans can be used for more than 10 years.
Depending on the Fans Location
Also, you must note that these two types of fan also vary in the way they are used located. Commercial fans can be placed on a wall as well as a ceiling whereas industrial fans are an industrial fan have shorter fins attached to the wheel and a smaller motor giving them performing at a higher speed than industrial grade fans. Meanwhile industrial fans, having thinner blades distributes air slower than typical fans. Due to this, commercial fan also tends to wear out easily and produce more noise than industrial one despite needing the same amount of electricity. In terms of function, a general-purpose fan is often used for medium sized facilities and residential spaces as it has limited and concentrated effectivity. Meanwhile, heavy duty ones are commonly uses for facilities such as factories and spaces requiring a large volume of air needed for circulation.
Overall, the total efficiency of a fan depends on its capacity to perform for its intended use. Often than not, most consumers look based on the aesthetic of an equipment. Some fashion lighting together with a fan making it a integrated feature in fan. Many of commercially available fans today have different materials ranging from wood finish to sleek white blades. Some are manually controlled while some are controlled with a remote. Small spaces, specially places with low ceiling can benefit from power and speed of commercial fans while for spaces with high ceilings, an industrial fan is a better option to maximize the volume of larger spaces. Consider also the attachment point for your fixture, will it hold up? Can it withstand the movement from the fan? There are a lot of things to consider in choosing a fan that is function-able and efficient for each use.
Servicing the Fan
Another, consider the serviceability of the equipment, would it require frequent dismounting? Or are you willing to utilize an equipment or hire someone to maintain it? These are few questions often overlooked by the consumer. Both types of fan have its pros and cons that's why knowing the size of the space, the volume of people and ceiling height are all crucial elements in achieving the perfect solution for any space. But if you are looking in terms of durability, a better option is an industrial grade fan that despite its initial cost would save you more in the long run. Today, these fans are usually recommended as it requires less maintenance and replacements versus its counterparts.

Wilhelm Faxe, född 18 maj 1767 i Kvistofta prästgård i Skåne, död 22 september 1854 i Lund, var en svensk biskop.

Han blev 1782 student vid Lunds universitet, 1787 filosofie magister, 1788 docent i latin och 1791 notarie i Lunds domkapitel. Samma år kallades han till docent i teologi och prästvigdes 1793. År 1800 utnämndes han till adjunkt i grekiska och österländska språk, en befattning som han behöll, även när han 1804 blev kyrkoherde i Södervidinge och Annelövs pastorat i Lunds stift. År 1809 blev han professor i teologi samt seminariedirektor och utnämndes till teologie doktor samma år. År 1811 blev han biskop i Lunds stift och prokansler. Dessa ämbeten behöll han till sin död.

Faxe var gift två gånger, från 1795 med Agneta Sophia Lindman (1770 - 1805), från 1806 med Helena Johanna Billberg (1773 - 1845).

Faxe var även från 1843 och till sin död ålderman i Sankt Knuts Gille i Lund.

Esaias Tegnér, som vistades mycket hos Faxe, skrev flera dikter till honom och hans hustru.

Den 10 november 1829 blev Faxe hedersledamot av Kungliga Vitterhets Historie och Antikvitets Akademien.

'Gorditas' translates to literally mean 'little fat ones'. Traditionally made with lard, they are an indulgence to be enjoyed in moderation!
Preheat oil in a deep pan. Mix lard into masa dough, beating until smooth. Form the gorditas in the same way as picadas.
Fry the gorditas in the hot oil, constantly basting the top with oil until golden brown and puffed up.
Drain well and serve immediately with chilli sauce and refried beans.
Add ½ cup mashed black or kidney beans to the masa dough before forming the tortillas.

Bianca Ojukwu Defends Marriage And Children's Inheritance - "I Am The Only Wife He Wedded"
Bianca Ojukwu has spoken out in a rare interview with Ekerete Udoh about her wedding to Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu in 1994, and the fallout with his older children. She defends her marriage but is realistic about the inheritance fights which she insists started way before she joined the family.
"I came into a deeply divided family – a lot of my husband's relatives, I never saw physically before he died. Ojukwu Transport Company issues have been in court, they still have not resolved the issues concerning their father's wealth, and this was an issue that started in 1966.. I am very comfortable if not for anything, for being the daughter of Chief C.C.Onoh, and my father took care of me, so the issue is not just about their family. But my husband was also a very serious person, so he anticipated all what is happening now by making sure that the most of my inheritance is bequeathed to me by the Deed of Gift, so prior to his death, most of those gifts had already been registered under my name.
But I will say that at the end of the day, it's not a question of acquisition, all I am saying is that I am the only wife that he wedded, first and foremost, at the Kaduna registry as witnessed by his friend, the late Clement Akpamgbo, and we had a small reception after the event at Apo Quarters, in Abuja. After the registry marriage, we went through the Catholic marriage at Our Lady Queen of Nigeria Catholic Church in Abuja, and it was officiated by the then Arch Bishop Onaiyekan- then the Archbishop of Abuja Diocese.

Of the VERY many prayer poems that we Jews recite during the High Holy Day period, one of my favorites is entitled, "Achot Ketana, Little Sister." It is a metaphor for our People Israel, referring to the original poetic language used in that great love-song of God and the Jews, Shir HaShirim, the Song of Songs. Achot Ketana, an acrostic penned by Avraham Chazzan of Gerona, Spain, in the 1200s, reflects on the vagaries of Exile, Galut, and bemoans the Little Sister, Israel, who has been buffeted about by the winds of that exile for millennia. In its recurring refrain, the poem asks God to give us surcease from sorrow: "Let the Old Year end, with all its curses, Taychel shana v'killeloteha." In the final strophe, however, it lifts us with this inspiring message: "Let the New Year begin, with all its blessings, tachel shana u'virchoteha." We are a very optimistic People, no?
As we ended the year 5777, we certainly saw manifest many kellalot, curses. We, in South Florida, were buffeted by Hurricane Irma, and it was no "gentle repast." So many other tragedies loomed over the horizon, as we all well know. And, as we began 5778, even more challenges beset us: Las Vegas' Massacre, the massive wildfires, and so many more. It may seem like more of the same, a carryover from 5777. Still, we summon our courage and gird up our faith; we await the blessings, and many berachot, which the year just begun will surely vouchsafe unto us. We NEED to have faith – in God and in our selves.
As I write this, we are in the waning days of Chol HaMoed Sukkot; we will begin the reading of the Torah anew on Shabbat Bereshit. And in that Torah, we may think of our faith in God in our time of trouble, yes. And that is a good thing. But more than our faith in God, let us also think of the flip-side, which I believe is the essence of our Torah: God's unfaltering faith in US. We CAN be better; or, as the Latin phrase would have it, let us strive for "imitatio Dei," the imitation of the Divine.
Yes, we all know that there are many curses in the world of humanity, but let us never forget that there are many blessings, too. These often emerge in times of crisis and despair, when we actively take a role in making this world a better place, and ourselves better people, by our own positive actions. Imitatio Dei, writ large.
May the year 5778 summon us to such noble activism. May we act as "shitufo shel haKadosh Baruch Hu," God's partner – or Little Sister, if you will — and Imitate the Divine by our own noble deeds, daily. In so doing, we will not only do honor to God, true, but moreover, we will validate that faith which God forever places in each and every one of us. And that, my friends, is God's unfaltering blessing for us all, throughout ALL our years.
