Boxer Gilbody still in the ring!
TWENTY five years after being crowned British Bantamweight Champion Warrington boxer Ray Gilbody is still in the ring, coaching local youngsters.
Despite retiring from the game after failing to claim the European title Ray never lost his passion for the sport.
But now reflecting back on his glittering boxing career he would never have turned professional if he could have his time over again.
"Representing your country at the Olympics and Commonwelath games is the ultimate honour," said Ray.
Now aged 50, he is still fit and recently completed the Mancester 10k in an impressive 58 minutes, raising funds for the David Lewis Epilepsy Centre in Knutsford, where he works as a painter and decorator.
After retiring from the sport he settled down and married his sweetheart Sally Ann, helping raise two sons Ryan, 18 and Liam 16.
But he never lost the love of boxing and now helps coach youngsters at the Hook and Jab club on Bridgefoot, three evenings a week.
Gilbody was crowned British champion three times, once at flyweight and twice an bantam weight. He represented Great Britain as a Bantamweight at the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games. He was eliminated in the second round by Daniel Zaragoza of Mexico, losing on points. He was also the 1979 ABA Flyweight champion, and ABA Bantamweight champion in 1980 and 1982. He won a bronze medal at the Commonwealth Games in Brisbane in 1982.
After turning professional he was crowned British Bantamweight Champion on June 13 1985 when he defeated John Feeney at Borough Hall, Hartlepool, County Durham.
He successfully defended the title the following November beating John Farrell at York Hall, Bethnal Green, London.
The following year he just missed out on the European title losing on points in controversial circumstances to Italian Ciro De Leva at Cosenza, Calabria, Italy.
Replays of the game clearly showed several rounds exceeded their time limits, allowing the Italian to get on top.
His final fight was in February 1987 when he lost his British title to Billy Hardy.
Boxing was clearly in the Gilbody family with his elder brother George was also an accomplished amateur, competing at the Olympics and Commonwealth Games while their father was a member of the British army boxing team.
"I was never hungry enough or aggressive enough as a professional fighter," added Ray.
He never made a fortune from boxing, winning £2.5k when he lifted the British title. His biggest purse was £12k for the European title but in reality he ended up with a lot less after paying all his overheads.
Ray Gilbody is a relative and I would like to make contact but have no idea how!
My grandfather (Derek Gilbody) and father (Keith Gilbody) always speak of him and George who also seek to gain contact!
The Gilbody family has been spread wide unfortunately due to military commitments!
My grandmother and grandad are now ill but I always remember the my grandad speak highly and very proud of our family name!

Due to increasing energy costs and environmental concerns, there has been strong motivation for using waste heat recovery technologies in Marine application to increase the overall system efficiency. The paper proposes an energy harvesting system that could be applied to marine engine exhaust system, based on thermoelectric power generator (TEG). The TEG system is designed based on string-converter system concept in order to overcome the challenges of mismatch power losses and difficulties of operating all TEGs at their Maximum Power Point (MPP) for large-scale application. In this paper, a string converter system based on Single Ended Primary Inductor Converter (SEPIC) power converter is proposed. The effectiveness of the proposed TEG system in generating electrical power from waste heat under various temperature gradient scenarios was verified using a two-string power converter system prototype. Experimental results clearly show that the proposed converter system is able to extract 24% more power from the waste heat source compared to a conventional single converter system.

is the time in the parking lot between driving and walking- where you stop the car and the radio is silent and the key is dropping into your purse while the other hand opens the door and your face feels the motion of the outside air for the first time.
Is a kiss and not a word.

"the idyllic era of cushions was at an end": 20th century lyric genres
June 19, 2013 § Leave a comment
Some twentieth century lyric genres [1]:
1. poem written on cigarette pack lining and buried, Makronisos, Greece, c.1948:
"even under the harshest conditions on Makronisos [an island detention centre for political prisoners after the Second World War], Ritsos was constantly writing, on whatever scraps of paper he could find, including the linings of cigarette packs, which he hid or buried in bottles in the ground" — "Introduction," Diaries of Exile p.viii Translators Karen Emmerich and Edmund Keeley
1a. variant: poem written on cigarette paper, the Small Zone, Barashevo Labour Camp, Mordovia, USSR, c. 1983:
"In minute letters, I write out my latest poems on four-centimetre-wide strips of cigarette paper. This is one of the our ways of getting information out of the Zone. These strips of cigarette paper are then tightly rolled into a small tube (less than the thickness of your little finger), sealed and made moisture-proof by a method of our own devising and handed on when a suitable opportunity presents itself." — Grey is the Color of Hope Irina Ratushinskaya p.75
1b. variant: poem placed in glass preserving jar and buried in the garden, by night. USSR, c. Stalinist Russia:
"[Andrei Sinyavski] tells how, at the height of the Stalin terror, Alexander Kutzenov used to seal his manuscripts in glass preserving jars and bury them in his garden at night-time." —The Government of the Tongue, Seamus Heaney, p.97
2. poem hidden in cushion or saucepan, Stalinist Russia, c.1934:
"I began to make copies and hide them in various places. Generally I put them in hiding-places at home, but copies I handed to other people. During the search of our apartment in 1934 the police agents failed to find poems I had sewn into cushions or stuck inside saucepans and shoes….Voronezh [where Osip served part of his sentence of exile after writing the "Stalinist epigram"] marked a new stage in our handling of manuscripts. The idyllic era of cushions was at an end — and I remembered all too vividly how the feathers had flown from Jewish cushions during Denikin's pogroms in Kiev. M.'s memory was not as good as it had been, and with human life getting cheaper all the time, it was in any case no longer a safe repository for his work…." — Nadezhda Mandelstam, Hope Against Hope, p.324
3. poem in a burnt notebook, Moscow, c.1938-41
"…suddenly, in mid-conversation, [Akhmatova] would fall silent and, signalling to me with her eyes at the ceiling and walls, she would get a scrap of paper and a pencil; then she would loudly say something very mundane: 'Would you like some tea?' or 'You're very tanned', then she would cover the scrap in hurried handwriting and pass it to me. I would read the poems and, having memorized them, would hand them back to her in silence. 'How early autumn came this year,' Anna Andreevna would say loudly and, striking a match, would burn the paper over an ashtray…" — Lydia Chukovskaya, The Akhmatova Journals Volume 1, 1938-1941, (p.6)
4. poem remembered during the night shift at the textile factory, Strunino, USSR, c.1950s:
"Working on the night shift and running between one machine and another in the enormous shop, I kept myself awake by muttering M.'s verse to myself. I had to commit everything to memory in case all my papers were taken away from me, or the various people I had given copies to took fright and burned them in a moment of panic — that had been done more than once by the best and most devoted friends of literature. My memory was thus an additional safeguard — indeed, it was indispensable to me in my difficult task. I thus spent my eight hours of night work not only spinning yarn but also memorizing verse." — Nadezhda Mandelstam, Hope Against Hope p.411-2
5. poem scratched onto Styrofoam cup, Guantánamo Bay, early 21st century:
"Many men at Guantánamo turned to writing poetry as a way to maintain their sanity, to memorialize their suffering and to preserve their humanity through acts of creation. The obstacles the prisoners have faced in composing their poems are profound. In the first year of their detention, they were not allowed regular use of pen and paper. Undeterred, some drafted short poems on Styrofoam cups retrieved from lunch and dinner trays. Lacking writing instruments, they inscribed their words with pebbles or traced out letters with small dabs of toothpaste, then passed the "cup poems" from cell to cell. The cups were inevitably collected with the day's trash, the verses consigned to the bottom of a rubbish bin." — "Poems from Guantanamo" Amnesty International Magazine Fall 2007

The Plastics band
The Plastics started in late 2007 when the Righini brothers decided to expand their old punk band HOAX, and reform it with a fresh take on music.They released their first self-titled EP, The Plastics, in 2007 and a second EP, called Kiss The Plastics, in 2008 by way of mass production and distributed a 1000 copies of each release for free.
We live in your dreams to make them seem real. We are the sounds of silence and the yellow submarine.
The Plastics are a live performance orientated band and have already performed with the majority of South Africa's most sought after musical acts. In their first year on the local music scene, The Plastics claimed 1st prize at The Redbull Radar competition at Rocking the Daisies in 2008 and were finalists in 'The Road to V-Fe…st' competition for the best unsigned band in SA.
In sound, The Plastics pay homage to retro-rock and classic pop imagery. Been constricted for too long by boundaries and bursting with new ideas that wouldn't fit into any mould, they set about creating The Plastics. Soon after they started this endeavour, classically trained guitarist Karl Rohloff joined the band on bass and Arjuna Kohlstock on lead guitar to create the retro blend of bluesy indie, disco-punk sound that is known as The Plastics today.
The Plastics have been given a recording sponsorship with Sound and Motion Studios and started off 2010 by writing new material and exploring new sonic landscapes for their highly anticipated debut album. The album is the biggest project the band had ever embarked upon and because of this, they have enlisted the services of internationally acclaimed music producer, Gordon Raphael.
In January 2010 The Plastics flew in Raphael from Berlin. Raphael, best known for his work with The Strokes – producing their first two albums "Is This It" (which was voted best album of the decade by NME in England, and number 2 best of the decade in USA by Rolling Stone) and Room On Fire, produced and recorded with the band during January at Sound and Motion. The album, entitled SHARK, was released on the 31st of July 2010 at The Assembly in Cape Town and since then it has received acclaim and praise from music critics in countless reviews and media features. The first single from the album, Caves, was sent out to radio stations nationwide early July and has started to receive extensive campus radio airplay as well as being play listed on many commercial radio stations countrywide. The Plastics will be touring all over SA in the next few months to launch SHARK nationwide.

Joy Division - Closer (40Th Anniversary Limited Crystal Clear Ed) LP
Closer is the second and final studio album by English rock band Joy Division, released on 18 July 1980 by Factory Records. Produced by Martin Hannett, it was released two months after the suicide of the band's lead singer and lyricist Ian Curtis.
The album reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart peaked at No. 3 in New Zealand in September 1981, and No. 2 in Greece during August 2020. Closer was also named NME Album of the Year. It was remastered and re-released in 2007. Today, Closer is widely recognised as a seminal release of the post-punk era.
Following the release of the non-album single "Love Will Tear Us Apart" in June 1980, the remaining members re-formed as New Order.

Encyclopedia > RuPaul
RuPaul Charles first came into the public eye in the early 1990s as a drag performer in New York City. Initially participating in what is called "genderfucking," he made many famous friends and even appeared in the music video for the B-52s[?] video Love Shack.
Eventually he was signed to a modeling contract for MAC cosmetics[?], making him the first transgendered supermodel. He began releasing pop albums starting with Supermodel of the World[?] which spawned the #1 dance hit Supermodel (You Betta Work). He landed a talk show on VH1, appropriately called The Rupaul Show[?] where he interviewed celebrity guests and musical acts. Because his fanbase largely consisted of the gay community, he mostly performed at gay pride events and gay venues. He released a Christmas album entitled Ho, Ho, Ho and had guest appearances in many films including The Brady Bunch Movie.
RuPaul was nominated for an Emmy award when he appeared as, of all things, a male, alongside Linda Hamilton in the made-for-TV Movie A Mother's Prayer[?]. In the late 1990s he released his autobiography, Lettin' It All Hang Out[?]. He has since faded into relative obscurity, taking bit roles (often as himself) in film and television.

ECON (not to be confused with companies in other countries with the same name) was a Greek conglomerate, named after its founder Christos Economides. It was founded in 1950 as an engineering company but it progressively diversified in other areas including defence equipment, focusing during the 1980s on electronics and electro-optical system development and production. By 1995 it had rapidly evolved into a major defence group with four factories involved in high-tech constructions, including mechanical engineering, optics, electronics, digital imaging equipment, explosives etc. However, this growth was followed by an equally rapid collapse only a few years later, leading to one more dark page in the history of Greek defence industry. Parts of the company were reorganized into Thalis sensors (later Theon sensors).

Since 1964, the Ferrari Club of America (FCA) has held an Annual Meet in North America. This is a multi-day, national FCA event held in a different location each year, always near to a renowned road racing track. Last year in 2015 it was held in Monterey, CA after Pebble Beach Week; see 2015 Concours and 2015 Laguna Seca for write ups.
This year in June 2016, the Ferrari Club National Meet was held in Columbus, Ohio near the historic Mid-Ohio Sports track. The Ferrari Club Concours d'Elegance was held on the 18th hole at the Brookside Golf and Country Club in Columbus. The theme for the Meet was: Honoring the Ferrari 275 and its 50th Anniversary. The weather was perfect, the cars were spectacular, Ferrari North America (FNA) brought some additional eye candy, as did Ferrari dealers Cauley and Continental.
Ferrari Club members came from all over to attend the impressive FCA Concours d'Elegance. Logistics were smooth, attendance was good, and tickets were available at the gate for the public (with proceeds going to charity). In addition to the Concours, there is a Competitive Rally & Pleasure Drive through the countryside, multiple days of racetrack activities, a vendor market (Mercato di Ferrari), seminars, receptions, charity auction and banquet with award presentations. Hats off to the FCA Ohio Chapter and Central States Region for organizing this feat.
Here is a walk through the Ferrari Club Concours
1967 Ferrari 365 California Spyder, s/n 10327. This is one of just fourteen 365 Cal Spyders produced, shown in its original Rosso Chiaro color.

This was among the very last California Spyders produced, and one of just two that were not originally constructed with pop up fog lights, however, the lights have been retrofitted. The price tag for the Ferrari Cal Spyder was about $21,000 in 1967. This one sold for $2.97M at auction in 2013

Britain set for a month's worth of rain in 24 hours before heatwave kicks in
Martine Berg OlsenSunday 23 Jun 2019 4:11 pm
A heatwave will reach Britain after a big washout (Pictures: Metro.co.uk/PA)
An extensive heatwave is on the way, but first the country is getting a big washout as a month's worth of rain could land in just 24 hours.
The Met Office has issued one yellow weather warning for rain and two for thunderstorms across the UK on Monday, when as much as 80mm of rain could fall between 12am to midnight on Tuesday.
The heavy downpour will continue to the end of Tuesday for some, but temperatures above 30C should make up for it all by the end of the week.
Britain could even beat its 35C June temperature record later this week as a 2,000-mile wide African air plume is set to heat up Europe.
Forecaster Simon Partridge told Metro.co.uk: 'There's a weather warning in place on Monday, from midnight to midnight, which will cover 20-40mm quite widely and up to 80mm locally, which will count as a month's worth of rain, if we see all of that.'
Britain will be hit by thunderstorms (Picture: Getty Images)
He also said a series of thunderstorms could lead to up to 60mm of rain in other places of the country, which will also count as a month's worth in just one day.
The heavy rain could cause floods and disruption across England and Scotland tomorrow.
Partridge added: 'We are expecting a couple of days of pretty unsettled weather.'
But, the UK will still experience high temperatures up to 28C.
The Met Office forecaster said many will avoid the rain and enjoy some 'decent dry and sunny weather – as long as they avoid the showers'.
After a warm weekend, rain will hit the UK (Picture: PA)
But temperatures up to low 30s will make up for it by the end of the week (Picture: PA)
He added: 'On the plus side it will be a lot better for the second part of the week, high pressure will be in charge of the weather and it will continue to get warmer, day by day.
'On Friday and Saturday, areas such as Bristol and Somerset will experience low 30s, while many parts should expect low to mid-20s, and the south high 20s.'
However, he said the warm could lead to some 'very difficult nights' as overnight temperatures will remain just below 20C and stay very humid.
Partridge said the heatwave will gradually ease away to average temperatures for this time of the year as we approach the following week.
Bookmakers Coral cut odds to 4/5 on breaking the 35.6C June record, set on June 29, 1957, in London, and June 28, 1976, in Southampton.
However, it's not only Brits who will be sweating this week, as Germany is set to break its 40.3C record.
Monday's weather forecast (Picture: Met Office)
The first Government heat health warning of the year put hospitals on alert for an increase in admissions and ordered health and social workers to prepare to make daily contact with the ill, vulnerable and elderly.
Glastonbury, which begins on Wednesday, faces a roast and mud after double the usual rainfall – 91mm – soaked Somerset so far this month.
Partridge said: 'Glastonbury has wet ground and risks thundery showers before the festival and occasional showers during the event, but will be in the region with the hottest temperatures – so pack wellies and sun cream.'
Despite a wet start, the Met Office said summer is 10 times more likely to be much-hotter-than-average than across June, July and August.
Partridge said: 'Warm air from north Africa will bring an extensive heatwave to large parts of western and central Europe, with highs into the 40s in Germany and France.
Up to 80mm of rain could fall in one day (Picture: PA)
'The UK will see highs build through the week after 28C on Monday and Tuesday.
'By Friday and Saturday sees the chance of 34C, and possibly warmer if there is more sunshine and less cloud in the west, which is forecast to be the hottest area.
'It will be very humid, with thunderstorms until Tuesday bringing the risk of localised flooding, and showers popping up later in the week.'
The Met Office three-month forecast said: 'For June-August as a whole, the probability UK average temperatures will fall into the warmest of our five categories is 45-50 per cent. The coldest category is five per cent.
'The probability of higher-than-average pressure, associated with warmer-than-average conditions, is increased by North Atlantic sea surface temperature patterns. These are similar to, but not as marked, as last year.'

Duke Energy Announces 20 Megawatt Solar Power Project in North-Carolina
Driving green since 2004
Michael Graham Richard Michael_GR
Distributed Photovoltaic Solar Power
We've written a lot about thermal solar power lately (a few examples: Ausra, Brightsource, Torresol, Acciona Energia, etc), but photovoltaic solar power is also in very good health. The latest announcement comes from Duke Energy Carolinas: a $100 million, 20 megawatts plan to install solar panels not just in one or two big solar power plants but at over 850 sites all over North-Carolina.
Where Will the Solar Panels Go?
The 850 sites include homes, schools, stores, and factories. All kinds of places that have large unused roofs. People who agree to have solar panels installed on their buildings will get rewards based on the size of the installation and the amount of clean electricity it produces.
One of the benefits of this kind of distributed generation is that the power is produced near where it is used, reducing transmission losses and the infrastructure costs that would be required to build new power lines.
If the plan is approved by regulators, the solar panels will be going up over the next two years. Once finished, it should provide power to approximately 2,600 homes.

Ti m Tebow has character.
In next Sunday's Super Bowl football game, Tim Tebow and his mother will be doing an ad opposing abortion. He has a personal stake in being anti-abortion. Tim's parents were Christian missionaries in the Phillipines. When Tim's mother was pregnant with Tim, there was a problem and she was advised by a doctor there to abort Tim.
Being a Christian, she and her husband chose not to do that. They let Tim live.
Tim grew up to be perhaps the greatest collegiate football player ever. He played on two national championship teams and was the first sophomore ever to win the Heisman, awarded to the year's best player. The winner is chosen by vote of sports writers, and journalists are notoriously liberal. Had it not been for his openly Christian religion, Tim likely would have won it more than once, which only one player has ever done. Tebow was the first quarterback in history to rush and throw for more than twenty touchdowns in a season. He set the Southeastern Conference record for rushing touchdowns.
What made Tim the great player that he was, though, was more than athletic skills. It was character. In the national championship game last year, his leadership was very apparent when he led his team to victory over Oklahoma. He tried harder and he made his team try harder.
Now his character is again apparent. Focus on the Family is paying over two million dollars for the Super Bowl anti-abortion ad featuring Tim and his mother. The pro-abortion liberals are about to have a calf over the ad, and they want to abort the calf and the ad. They are protesting mightily to CBS and threatening to file a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission, which is under the control of the Obama administration. CBS still intends to run the ad. After all, in these tough economic times, they can use the two million bucks. Obama acts like he is dictator of the country, so it will be interesting to see if he intervenes in some way to get the ad canceled.
By opposing this ad, the liberals basically are taking the position that Tim Tebow should have been killed. That's really the bottom line of the two positions. Those who favor the ad and who oppose abortion think that Tim should not have been killed. Those who oppose the ad and favor abortion think that Tim should have been killed.
Understand that Tim Tebow has a secure financial position . He could have gone professional and joined the National Football League last year, but he chose to play one more year of college ball at Florida. He had a great season and is still in good health with no career ending injuries. Now a senior, he is ready to sign with an NFL team and that will make him a multi-millionaire. But he is willing to put that at risk to whatever degree by appearing in this anti-abortion ad. America has a lot of devoted anti-Christ people, mostly thanks to the left wing schools. Some teams will not be interested in bidding for him simply because he is an open Christian. This ad may cost him millions of dollars and will certainly have an effect on his professional career.
Yet he's willing to make this stand. That's character.
Tim Tebow was homeschooled. Very few people realize just what that means. When they think of schooling, they only think of math and language and social studies. They do not think of character as being part of an education because they are used to the mindless mediocrity of the soulless institution that is the public schools. Yet teaching character, responsibility, service and leadership is the most important part of an education. Institutions cannot teach character. Parents can.
And that's what Tim was taught in his homeschooled education. His parents showed character when they did not kill him when his life first began. Now he shows character in standing up for what they did.
The whole nation will be watching next Sunday when Tim Tebow and his mother appear on national television to oppose abortion, and to affirm that they are glad that little Timmy was not killed. Tim is showing great character just be being in this ad. Homeschooled students do well academically. Their scores on average are highest. They do well socially. They make the best citizens. But when we see Tim Tebow standing against abortion, standing against stabbing infants, standing against his own murder, it must be remembered that what homeschooling teaches best is character.

I think it's safe to say that 2014 has been the year of the blogger. Everyone seems to have finally taken note of the talent that is on offer online through blogs or YouTube and I couldn't be happier! I find it really refreshing and feel strangely proud that many of the people in our little corner of the internet have become household names and have warranted such success that they have been able to launch their own brand and product lines.
This year has seen multiple launches from bloggers, only some of which are photographed above! Zoella's unbelievable success has reigned head and shoulders above the rest this year with the launch of her beauty line and book. All the bad press that has been directed towards her makes me quite simply furious. She seems just a really lovely, normal girl who has achieved this unbelievable success stemming from making videos in her bedroom and yet so many people seem to want to bring her down? Jealous, much?
Tanya Burr also extended her beauty range of lip glosses and nail polishes, adding lashes to the offerings. Ruth Crilly from A Model Recommends launched her dry shampoo range Colab that, honestly, it the best I've ever used – my favourite is the 'Paris' scent. Estee from Essie Button has also just created her own limited edition range with eLuxe, consisting of pyjama tops and a make up bag!
I wonder what 2015 will bring? I'm hoping for a Lily Pebbles nail or hair care range for curly hair, or perhaps workout clothes or matte lipsticks courtesy of Anna from Vivianna Does MakeUp? Fingers crossed.
Which bloggers would you like to see launch their own products?


We are a tour operators. We book hotels on behalf of our clients outside India. The hotel in the other country raises bills on us as tour operators and We in turn raise bills on our clients in India. Shall we be liable for GST on the invoice received from the hotel outside India for booking on behalf of our clients. Kindly guide in view of section 11 (3) of IGST act, 2017.
Under GST, supply of goods and/or services in the course of import into India is be deemed to be supply in the course of inter-State trade or commerce, attracting the levy of IGST. Thus, all import of services into India will be treated as deemed inter-State supplies and would be subject to GST.
The default rule for place of supply in case where either service provider or service recipient is outside India shall be the location of the service recipient.
RCM payable and Input Tax Credit allowed.
Please cast your view on section 13 (5) of IGST Act. in connection with this query.
I agree with Sh.Parveen Nair Ji. I add that the tour operator is covered under Section 13(8)(b) of IGST Act as he is also performing Intermediary Services. No doubt about applicability of GST under RCM. In my view, sub-section (5) is not applicable here as suggested by Sh.Ganeshan Kalyani Ji. Other experts may intervene.
In my view it is not a case of section 13(5) of the IGST as it covers admissions to or organisation of events. it is also not the case of 13(4) as the recipient of service in the instant case is tour operator and not the client who stays in hotel. it thus falls under 13(8) of IGST hence taxable .RCM should apply.
Sh.Shukla Ji, Sir Thanks for clarification.
(iii) The Place of Supply is in India.
The place of supply of services supplied directly in relation to an Immovable property, including services supplied in this regard by experts and estate agents, supply of accommodation by a hotel, inn,guest house , club or campsite , by whatever name called, grant of rights to use immovable property, services for carrying out or co-ordination of construction work, including that of architects or interior decorators, shall be the place where the immovable property is located or intended to be located.
Accordingly, If I am a tour operator and booking accommodation in hotel for my customer outside the India than in that case one of the conditions mentioned under section 2(11) i.e The place of supply must be in India is not being satisfied and hence we can hold that it shall not be considered as Import of Services and No RCM leviable on such services.
The issue raised is interesting.I feel that intermediary services are performed for any Principal service provider. Is it the hotelier or the client ?
Hi Experts, considering present scenario, in case if vendor present out of India is raising the invoice for Tour in Tour operator's name, will the IGST paid on RCM basis on it be allowed as deduction . Tour operator is charging 5% GST on Tour package services.


Today's passage is 1 Kings 18:30-46. Let's go!
30 Then Elijah said to all the people, "Come here to me." They came to him, and he repaired the altar of the LORD, which was in ruins.
On verse 30: What does the writer of 1 Kings mean when writing that Elijah "repaired the altar of the Lord, which was in ruins"? It means that Elijah was re-establishing a culture of worshiping the Lord, a culture that had disappeared in the face of rampant and ongoing idolatry in Israel.
What can we learn from this? Before you can experience much of the Holy Spirit, you need to repair and re-establish a life of worshiping the Lord. That includes prioritizing weekly worship with your church community, spending regular daily time with God, and trying to live each day for God's glory.
32 With the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD, and he dug a trench around it large enough to hold two seahs of seed.
On verses 31-32: Elijah took 12 stones, representing the 12 tribes of Israel. Putting them beside and on top of one another, Elijah used those stones to build a new and simple altar on which he would make a sacrifice to the Lord. Likewise, the Bible describes you and me as living stones which God is using to build a spiritual house of worship (1 Peter 2:4-5).
What can we learn from this? If you want to experience much of the Holy Spirit, you first need to be connected to others in Christian community. Like stones set beside and on top of one another, you and I were meant to be connected with other stones — i.e. other Christians in close Christian community. Christian community is essential if you want to experience the greatest miracles God wants to do in and through your life.
By the way, why did Elijah build a trench around the altar? I'll get to that when we look at verse 34.
On verse 33: Elijah slaughters a bull and lays it on the wood on top of the altar as a sacrifice to God. Similarly, before you can experience the fire of the Holy Spirit, you first need to recognize and accept the sacrifice of Jesus for your sins — how this perfect lamb of God was slaughtered and laid on a wooden cross for you and me.
34 "Do it again," he said, and they did it again. "Do it a third time," he ordered, and they did it the third time.
35 The water ran down around the altar and even filled the trench.
1. Sometimes God will do things that seem like He's digging a hole (or a trench!) for Himself and making it harder for Himself. Sometimes it might seem like God is extinguishing His own flame by dousing it with water. Yet the reason God seems to make it harder for Himself sometimes is so that He can accomplish an even greater miracle than we could imagine and leave no doubt that it was Him who accomplished it.
Is God seemingly making your life harder these days? If so, don't despair. It's not because God is cruel or wants to punish you. It's because He wants to display His power in and through your life in greater ways than you yourself can imagine.
2. Elsewhere in Scripture, God's Word is likened to water. See for example Ephesians 5:23 where Christ cleanses His church "by washing her with water through the word". When Elijah drenches the sacrifice with so much water, it's a reminder to me that if you want to experience the fire of the Holy Spirit, you first need to be cleansed, filled and drenched with the Word of God.
36 At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed: "O LORD, God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command.
On verses 36-37: At the time of the sacrifice Elijah opens his mouth and prays. Elijah is clearly not just a spectator to worship, but an active participant. Likewise, if you want to experience the fire of the Holy Spirit, you need to draw near to God in prayer. As Colossians 4:2 says, "Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful". Much prayer, much power; little prayer, little power; no prayer, no power.
that's when Elijah and the Israelites (and we also) experience the fire of the Holy Spirit descending upon the offering. That's when the people's faith in the Lord is ignited. That's when false prophets are silenced and revealed for the impostors that they are.
If you want to experience the fire of the Holy Spirit, then be connected in Christian community, recognize your need for Jesus to cover your sin, drench yourself in the Word of God, pray, and trust Him even when it doesn't make sense.
45 Meanwhile, the sky grew black with clouds, the wind rose, a heavy rain came on and Ahab rode off to Jezreel.
46 The power of the LORD came upon Elijah and, tucking his cloak into his belt, he ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel.
On verses 41-46: After experiencing one of the most amazing miracles in the Bible, Ahab eats while Elijah prays (v41-42). Then Elijah tells his servant to look toward the sea, and after a long time of seeing nothing, his servant finally reports that a cloud as small as a man's hand is rising from the sea (v43-44). Elijah tells Ahab that a strong rain is coming. So Ahab hitches up his chariot to go home, while Elijah is supernaturally empowered and runs even faster than Ahab's chariot.
Heavenly Father, thank You for making it possible for us to experience the fire of the Holy Spirit in powerful, tangible ways. I want more of You Holy Spirit and to experience You more. Thank You for showing through Your Word that there is no magic to experiencing Your Holy Spirit. Rather help me to take the steps explained above so that I am well positioned to experience the Holy Spirit in my life. In Jesus' name, AMEN!

Two dead in separate weekend crashes on the East Side
Columbus police are investigating two separate fatal crashes on the East Side over the weekend.
On Saturday morning, officers were called to East Broad Street in the area of Cardinal Park Drive just west of Interstate 270 on a report of a man lying in the road.
The police Accident Investigation Unit determined the man, who had not yet been identified by police at midday Monday, was riding a bicycle in the right lane of East Broad Street, headed east, when he was struck from behind by a vehicle.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics at 7:40 a.m. Saturday.
The driver did not stay at the scene. However, investigators have determined a possible driver and vehicle of interest. The vehicle has been impounded to be analyzed as possible evidence, police said.
On Sunday, officers were called again to the city's East Side on a report of another serious crash, this one involving a motorcylist.
Around 5:40 p.m., police said 36-year-old Patrick Young, of the East Side, was driving a 2016 Suzuki GSX motorcycle east on East Livingston Avenue.
Police said a 2016 Hyundai Veloster driven by 26-year-old Kristen Wright, of the Far East Side was attempting to turn left from westbound East Livingston Avenue onto Bairsford Drive.
Wright struck Young's motorcycle, ejecting him into the intersection, police said.
Young was transported in critical condition to Mount Carmel East Hospital, where he died at 8:17 p.m. Sunday.
The deaths are the fourth and fifth traffic fatalities in Columbus in 2021. The first three deaths were all pedestrians killed in hit-skip crashes.


I have followed the new bike thread relating to the purchase of the Triumph street twin with some envy.
I test rode and ordered my BMW F850GS sport in July. Predicted delivery was late August or first week of September.
That seemed a long time, but I recalled my last new BMW being at the dealer 3 weeks ahead of prediction last time.
The following week I remembered I hadn't opted for the comfort touring seat.
A phone call to the dealer revealed that it was too late. The only way of adding it was a separate order, costing over £200 more than an ordering option!
I declined and told them I'd get the supplied seat, refilled by bootleg seats at Preston.
They phoned back to tell me they could cancel my first contract and submit an alternative order, including the comfort seat. Fantastic.
A further phone call instructed me the new delivery date was week beginning 24th September! Further delays could see me having a 19 plate!
I figured new bike, new helmet. I ordered it via Amazon. Ordered Wednesday evening, delivered Saturday morning. From Italy! BMW, take note.
Bike and matching helmet...... Eventually.
Nobody, will build me a mid size shaft drive bike.
At least it will have a three year warranty and European recovery included.
Austria next year looks tempting.
BMW move the goal post yet again.
Delivery date now extended to week beginning 08/10.
Any further delay could see the bike in Christmas wrapping paper!
E-mailed BMW UK this morning to express my disappointment.
By midweek next week I'll have no road bike whatsoever.
Has the classic VFR750 gone too?
No that's tucked up securely in next doors garage.
First letter to BMW UK was responded to with, a sorry, but outside our control, pointing me back at the dealership.
I then forwarded a copy of the same letter to BMW in Germany.
The following day, the sales principal phoned from my dealership. BMW would have my bike at their premises on Tuesday next week.
The registered number would be YC68... and was my fully specified build.
The moral of the story. Never accept the first fob off you encounter.
FPM and I will collect the bike on Wednesday next week.
It has been a long wait since ordering the bike in early July, but finally the eagle has landed.
Thus far only the short ride home from the dealership, but the optional comfort seat feels like a wise decision.
The wider, deeper seat, in combination with the compliant suspension resulted in a sublime ride home.
I think my blunt end detects the presence of a gel pad in there.
I have fitted a temporary universal Givi Monokey plate to allow use of my top box, until Givi can be arsed into manufacturing the alloy purpose built plate they announced in late July.
I also routed the wiring loom for the satnav and created an above the clocks mounting location.
Old enough to know better, but still too young to care.
Is the gel pad the difference then? The stock seat looks perfectly fine too.

Q: How to initialize Spring bean with dynamic arguments at run-time which is not prototype bean? I'm trying to initialize Spring bean with request scope, and lazy initialization from another object (attributes) that are not managed by Spring.
Here is the bean definition :
@Component
@Scope(value = "request")
@Lazy
public class LazyClass {

 protected String name;

}

How do I init the 'name' attribute at runtime ?

A: It may not be the best solution but you can set the value of name into a System property and get it where you need it in your class.
Setting the value somewhere in a non-spring class:
// myProperty is the name of the property
// name is the value you want to store
System.setProperty("myProperty",name);

Getting inside your class:
// Caution: the name of the property must be the same as it was when it was set
String name = System.getProperty("myProperty);

The getting method can be called in the constructor of your bean class as it is marked as @Lazy.
EDIT:
Another way is to create a setter for the field name and set its value when you need it.
