\section{Introduction}

Understanding the origin of the electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB)
and the nature of cold dark matter (CDM) is the most important question
in high energy physics in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) era.
In particular, it is an open question whether all the masses of fundamental
particles can arise from new strong dynamics
\cite{Hill:2005wg,Wilczek:2005ez,wilczek}.
In our previous work \cite{koetal}, we considered a model with a  strongly
interacting hidden sector, where a new strong interaction has such properties as
confinement and chiral symmetry breaking like ordinary QCD:
\begin{equation}
{\cal L}_{\rm hidden} = - {1\over 4} {\cal G}_{\mu\nu} {\cal G}^{\mu\nu}
+ \sum_{k=1}^{N_{h,f}} \left( \overline{\cal Q}_k i D\cdot \gamma
- M_{{\cal Q}_k} \right) {\cal Q}_k
\end{equation}
plus interactions between the hidden sector and the SM
sector due to some messengers which were not specified clearly.
Using the Gell-Mann-Levy's linear sigma model as a low energy effective
theory for the hidden sector technicolor interaction, we made two
important observations in Ref.~\cite{koetal}.
The first point was that dynamical scale $\Lambda_H$, which is generated
in the hidden sector by dimensional transmutation (alalogous to
$\Lambda_{\rm QCD}$), can play a role of
(or contribute to) the Higgs mass parameter in the SM.
Another point was that the lightest mesons, the hidden sector pions
can be good candidates for CDM.
It is stable due to hidden sector flavor conservation, which is an accidental
symmetry of hidden sector strong interaction.
Note that we don't impose any ad hoc $Z_2$ symmetry for stability of CDM.
However in Ref.~\cite{koetal}, the mass of the CDM (the hidden sector pion $\pi_h$)
originated from explicit chiral symmetry breaking from nonzero current quark
masses in the hidden sector [ $M_{{\cal Q}_k}$ in Eq. (1) ], and we did not
ask the origin of those hidden sector current quark masses.
It is important and interesting to investigate if the CDM mass can also
arise from new strong dynamics through dimensional transmutation
\cite{koetal}.

In this letter, we show that it is in fact possible to show that all the
mass scales including the CDM mass arise quantum mechanically through
dimensional transmutation and the hidden sector chiral symmetry breaking.
For that purpose, we start with classical lagrangian without any dimensionful
parameters, which then possesses classical scale symmetry.
The scale symmetry is broken only in the logarithm, which is related with
the trace anomaly.
For that purpose,  we have to introduce a real singlet
scalar $S$ and modify the SM lagrangian as follows:
\begin{eqnarray}
  \label{eq:sm}
  {\cal L}_{\rm SM} & = & {\cal L}_{\rm kin} -
{\lambda_1 \over 2}~( H_1^{\dagger} H_1 )^2
- {\lambda_{1S} \over 2}~S^2 ~ H_1^{\dagger} H_1
- {\lambda_S \over 8}~S^4
\nonumber  \\
  & + &
\left( \overline{Q}^i H_1 Y^D_{ij} D^j
+ \overline{Q}^i \tilde{H_1} Y_{ij}^U U^j
+ \overline{L}^i H_1 Y^E_{ij} E^j   \right.
\nonumber   \\
& + & \left. \overline{L}^i \tilde{H_1} Y^N_{ij} N^j
+ S N^{iT} C Y^M_{ij} N^j + h.c. \right)
\end{eqnarray}
The hidden sector lagrangian is also modified  as follows:
\begin{equation}
{\cal L}_{\rm hidden} = - {1\over 4} {\cal G}_{\mu\nu} {\cal G}^{\mu\nu}
+ \sum_{k=1}^{N_{h,f}} \left( \overline{\cal Q}_k i D\cdot \gamma
- \lambda_{k} S \right) {\cal Q}_k .
\end{equation}
Note that all the mass terms are replaced by $S$ or $S^2$
[including the mass  terms for the hidden sector quarks ($M_{{\cal Q}_i}$)
by Yukawa coupling ($\lambda_{i} S$)] so that the classical lagrangian
is scale invariant without any mass parameters at tree level.
In our model, all the masses will be generated by quantum mechanical effects.
Also $S$ will play a role of messenger connecting the SM and the hidden
sectors.

In fact the lagrangian (2)  was considered in  Ref.~\cite{Meissner:2006zh},
where the radiative EWSB was studied a la Coleman and Weinberg \cite{coleman}.
In the following paper \cite{Meissner:2007xv}, the same authors showed that
this lagrangian is renormalizable in a sense that the counterterm structure
is the same as the classically scale invariant lagrangian when dimensional
regularization and mass-independent renormalization scheme such as
$\overline{MS}$ scheme are used.
Our approach is different from Ref.~\cite{Meissner:2006zh} in that we include a
hidden sector with new strong QCD-like interaction, so that we can discuss
CDM and dynamical mass generation even without radiative corrections to the
effective potential.

Note that the hidden sector has exact global
$SU(N_{h,f})_L \times SU(N_{h,f})_R$ chiral symmetry in the limit $\lambda_k =0$
for $k=1,2,...N_{h,f}$, which will break into diagonal $SU(N_{h,f})_V$ with massless
Nambu-Goldstonte (NG) bosons. Due to strong interaction in the hidden sector,
hidden sector quarks will condense with $\langle {\cal Q}_k {\cal Q}_k \rangle \neq 0$,
and a linear term in $S$ will develops, leading to a nonzero VEV for $S$.
After $S$ gets a VEV, one has $M_{{\cal Q}_i} = \lambda_i \langle S \rangle$.
The hidden sector quarks are light if
$M_{{\cal Q}_j} \equiv \lambda_j \langle S \rangle \ll \Lambda_{h\chi}
\equiv 4 \pi \Lambda_H$, where $\Lambda_{h\chi} $ is the hidden sector
chiral symmetry breaking scale.
If there are $N_f$ light hidden sector quarks, there would be approximate
$SU( N_{h,f} )_L \times SU( N_{h,f} )_R$ global chiral symmetry.
This chiral symmetry is explicitly broken, so that the resulting hidden
sector pions become massive with
$m_{\pi_h}^2 = \mu_h M_{\cal Q} \ll \Lambda_{h\chi}$.
If $n_{h,f}$ of $\lambda_i$'s are
approximately equal, the $SU ( n_{h,f} )_V$ will be a good approximate
global symmetry to categorize the pseudo NG bosons.

This picture is similar to SUSY models, where SUSY is broken spontaneously
by hidden sector gaugino condensation. The SUSY breaking effect is
transimitted to the MSSM sector by messengers. Likewise,  in our model,
classical scale symmetry is broken in the hidden sector by dimensional
transmutation in our model, and its effect is transmitted to the SM sector
by messenger (real singlet scalar $S$ in our model).
Chiral symmetry breaking in the hidden sector is the same as
the usual technicolor models, except that the hidden sector quarks are
SM singlets rather than the SM doublets,  thereby the constraints from
$S$ and $T$ become milder in our scenario.
We still do have a fundamental Higgs scalar $H_1$ in the SM sector, but
its mass parameter is determined by the hidden sector chiral symmetry
breaking scale, and thus naturally suppressed relative to the Planck scale,
as the proton mass in QCD is naturally smaller than Planck scale by
dimensional transmutation.

To illustrate our main points, let us consider $N_{h,f}=2$ with small
current quark masses $M_{{\cal Q}_{i=1,2}}$ and $N_{h,c} = 3$,
as in the ordinary QCD with two light flavors.
In this case, the low energy degrees of freedom would
be the hidden sector pions ($\pi_h$) with decay constant
$v_h \approx \Lambda_H$,  its scalar partner $\sigma_h$,
and the hidden sector nucleons $N_h = ( p_h , n_h )$.
To simplify our discussions, we assume that both hidden sector scalar
$\sigma_h$ and nucleons $N_h$ are much heavier
than the hidden sector pions, or the hidden sector scale $\Lambda_H$,
and integrate them out.
Then the low energy dynamics of the hidden sector
can be described entirely in terms of the hidden sector pions.
This description is sufficient for  calculting the relic density and the
direct detection of $\pi_h$'s, since $\pi_h$'s are almost at rest in
these calculations.  However, we will keep in mind that the hidden
sector baryons would be also stable by hidden sector baryon number
conservation, and make another CDM. Their relic density and direct
detection rate is more difficult to calculate than those of hidden sector
pions, and so we do not include them in this letter.

Within this picture, physics of the hidden sector pions and its interactions
with the SM sector and the real scalar $S$ can be described by the
following effective lagrangian:
\begin{eqnarray}
{\cal L}_{\rm hidden}^{\rm eff} &=& {v_h^2 \over 4} {\rm Tr} [
\partial_\mu \Sigma_h \partial^\mu \Sigma_h^\dagger ]
+ {v_h^2 \over 2} {\rm Tr} [ {\bf \lambda} S
\mu_h ( \Sigma_h + \Sigma_h^\dagger ) ]
\nonumber   \\
{\cal L}_{\rm mixing} & = & -v_h^2 \Lambda_{h\chi}^2 \left[ \kappa_H
{H_1^\dagger H_1 \over \Lambda_{h\chi}^2 } +\kappa_{S} {S^2 \over
\Lambda_{h\chi}^2} +\kappa'_{S} {S \over \Lambda_{h\chi}} \right.
\nonumber  \\
&+ & \left. O( {S H_1^\dagger H_1 \over \Lambda_{h\chi}^3} , { S^3
\over \Lambda_{h\chi}^3 }) \right]
\\
{\cal L}_{\rm full}&=& {\cal L}_{\rm hidden}^{\rm eff}+{\cal L}_{\rm SM}
+ {\cal L}_{\rm mixing}
\nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
In deriving ${\cal L}_{\rm mixing}$, we used the naive dimensional analysis,
and ignored openrators that are suppressed by powers of $v_h / \Lambda_{h\chi}$.
Dimensionless couplings $\kappa_H$, $\kappa_S$ etc. are of $O(1)$ according
to the naive dimensional analysis.

Since we have to use an effective lagrangian for the hidden sector
strong interaction, it is mandatory for us to discuss the effects of higher
dimensional operators and power counting rules. Here one can adopt the
naive power counting rule proposed by Georgi and Manohar
\cite{Manohar:1983md}.
We have already showed some terms that connect the SM Higgs and $S$
to the hidden sector pions. We can also consider interactions involving
the hidden sector pions and the SM fermions and gauge fields.
The basic principle is exactly the same as that in chiral lagrangian.

The tree level scalar potential in the present model is given by
\begin{eqnarray}
V&=& \frac{\lambda_1}{2} ( H_1^\dagger H_1 )^2
+\frac{\lambda_{1S}}{2} H_1^\dagger H_1 S^2 + \frac{\lambda_S}{8} S^4
\nonumber\\
&&+ \mu_{H_1}^2  H_1^\dagger H_1 + \frac{1}{2} \mu_S^2S^2 + \rho^3 S
\end{eqnarray}
where $\mu_{H_1}^2$, $\mu_S^2$ and $\rho^3$ are defined in terms of
the parameters in the lagrangian:
\begin{eqnarray}
 \mu_{H_1}^2 &=& v_h^2 \kappa_H, \\
  \mu_{S}^2 &=& 2 v_h^2 \kappa_S,\\
  \rho^3 &=& v_h^2\{ \Lambda_{h\chi} \kappa'_S
  -\mu_h(\lambda_u + \lambda_d)\}.
\end{eqnarray}
We are interested in the phase:
\[
H_1 = \left( 0 , {(v_1+h_{\rm SM})\over \sqrt{2}} \right)^T,~~~S = (v_S + S ).
\]
The scalar mass matrix is given by
(EWSB condition: $M_{11}+M_{22}>0, M_{11}M_{22}>M_{12}^2$)
\begin{equation}
{\cal L} \supset -\frac{1}{2} \begin{pmatrix}h_{\rm SM} & S \\
\end{pmatrix}
 \left(\begin{array}{cc} \lambda_1 v^2_1  & \lambda_{1S} v_1v_S \\
\lambda_{1S} v_1v_S & \lambda_S v^2_S -\rho^{3} /v_S \end{array}\right)
\begin{pmatrix} h_{\rm SM} \\ S \\
\end{pmatrix}
\end{equation}
The mass eigenstates $h$ and $H$ are defined as
\begin{equation}
\left(\begin{array}{c} h \\ H\end{array}\right)=
\left(\begin{array}{cc}\cos\alpha & \sin\alpha \\
-\sin\alpha &\cos\alpha\end{array}\right)
\left(\begin{array}{c} h_{\rm SM} \\ S \end{array}\right) ,
\end{equation}
which diagonalizes the scalar mass matrix.
The hidden sector pion get masses if $S$ develops a VEV:
$m_{\pi_h}^2 = v_S \mu_h ( \lambda_u + \lambda_d)$.

Our main point can be best illustrated for the simplest case,
$\kappa_H= \kappa_S = \kappa_S' = 0$. In this case a reduction in the
number of parameters occurs, and we obtain
$\lambda_{1S}$ and $\lambda_S$ in terms of $\lambda_1$ and $v_S$:
\begin{equation}
 \lambda_{1S} = - \frac{\lambda_1 v_1^2}{v_S^2}, ~~
 \lambda_{S} = \frac{\lambda_1 v_1^4 + 2 m_{\pi_h}^2 v_h^2 }{v_S^4}.
 \end{equation}
Trading $\lambda_1$ with $m_h$, we use the following set as input
parameters: $\tan \beta \equiv v_S/v_1$, $v_h$, $m_{\pi_h}$, $m_h$.
For numerical analysis, we consider two cases:
(a) $v_h = 500$ GeV and $\tan\beta = 1$ and (b) $v_h = 1000$ GeV and
$\tan\beta = 5$, and scan over other two parameters with
$m_{\pi_h} \lesssim 0.5 \Lambda_{h\chi} \sim 5 v_2$,
so that the hidden sector pions can be still regarded as a pseudo
Goldstone bosons.
For $\lambda_1$, we scan upto $\sim 4 \pi$, and check
if the perturbative unitarity for $W_L W_L$ scattering is satisfied.
The most important constraints on our model come from the Higgs
boson search and the relic density of the DM, the latter of which
is calculated by modifying the micromega \cite{micromegas} suitable
to our model.

In the low energy, there are two scalars $h$ and $H$ which are linear
combinations of $h_{\rm SM}$ and $S$, and both are assumed to be fundamental
scalar bosons.
Note that $h_{\rm SM}$ couples to the SM gauge bosons and SM fermions.
Therefore the couplings of $h$ and $H$ are modified by $\cos\alpha$
and $\sin\alpha$ of the SM couplings.
On the other hand the scalar $S$ couples to the SM Higgs boson,  the
right-handed Majorana neutrino through Majorana mass term, and most
importantly to the hidden sector pions. In particular its coupling to the
hidden sector pion increases as the hidden sector pion mass increases,
which is characteristic of the model with classical scale symmetry.
It is easy to copy the results from the SM case, with a few important
things to be emphasized in our case.
$h (H) \rightarrow \pi_h \pi_h$ will open up the
invisible decay channel of Higgs bosons $h$ and $H$, whose
decay rates depend on the $\pi_h$ masses and other parameters.
This will make more difficult to observe the Higgs bosons $h$ or
$H$ using the visible final states.
If $m_{H} > 2m_{h}$, then a new channel $H \rightarrow h h$ can open
up, and the decay width of $h_2$ will be increased.
The production cross sections of $h$ and $H$ at the Tevatron or LHC
are the same as the SM Higgs boson production rate, except that
the rates are scaled by the $h(H)-t-t$ couplings,
which are $\cos^2 \alpha$ and $\sin^2 \alpha$, respectively.
Therefore the production rates of $h$ and $H$ are  always suppressed
relative to the SM Higgs production of the same mass.

In Fig.~1, we show the branching ratio for $h$ with $m_h = 120$ GeV
for (a) $v_h = 500$ GeV and $\tan\beta = 1$ and (b) $v_h = 1$ TeV and
$\tan\beta = 2$. As in Ref.~\cite{koetal}, the invisible decay width of
$h$ is large as long as $h \rightarrow \pi_h \pi_h$ is kinematically
allowed ($m_{\pi_h} < m_h / 2 = 60$ GeV). Otherwise $h$ decay follows
that of the SM predictions.

functions of $m_{\pi_h}$ for (a)$v_h = 500$ GeV and $\tan\beta = 1$,
and (b) $v_h = 1$ TeV and $\tan\beta =2$.}
\end{figure}

The hidden sector pion $\pi_h$ can be a good candidate for the CDM
of the universe.
In Fig.~2, we show the relic densities of $\pi_h$ in the
$( m_{\pi_h} , m_h )$ plane for (a) $v_h = 500$ GeV and $\tan\beta = 1$,
and (b) $v_h = 1$ TeV and $\tan\beta = 2$,
with different colors for $\log_{10} (\Omega_{\pi_h} h^2)$ between
$-4$ and $0.5$.
We imposed only $\Omega_{\pi_h} h^2 < 0.122$  (the WMAP bound), since there
could be additinoal DM's, namlely the lightest hidden sector nucleons or
axions. The white region is excluded by direct search limit on Higgs boson
and the correct EWSB vacuum for the SM sector. In a certain parameter
space, the relic density is somewhat large, but not so large as in our
prevous paper \cite{koetal}
where the hidden quark masses are given by hand, and not by scalar VEV.

\end{figure}

In Fig.~3, we show the spin-independent dark matter scattering cross
section with proton $\sigma_{\rm SI}$ for $( v_h , \tan\beta ) =
(500 {\rm GeV}, 1)$, and $( 1 {\rm TeV}, 2)$,
with the current bounds from CDMS-II and XENON
as well as the projected sensitivities of XMASS and SuperCDMS.
Within particular parameter space with all $\kappa$'s equal to zero,
there is an approximate linear relationship between $\log \sigma_{\rm SI}$
and $\log M_{\pi_h}$. Blue and green dots denote the relic density
$0.096 < \Omega_{\rm DM} h^2 < 0.122$ and $\Omega_{\rm DM} < 0.122$.
Note that our model predicts $\sigma_{\rm SI}$ just below the recent
bound from XENON-10 experiment, and could be tested by the near future
experiments.

the lower one is for $v_h = 1$ TeV and $\tan\beta = 2$.}
\end{figure}

In this letter, we presented a renormalizable and scale invariant
extension of the SM with new QCD-like strong interaction in the hidden sector.
The scale generated in the hidden sector by dimensional transmutation
is transmitted not only to the EWSB scale, but also to the hidden sector
pion mass through $\lambda \langle S \rangle$.
Therefore all the mass scales (except for the cosmological constant)
have their origin in a single scale $\Lambda_H$ in the hidden sector
strong interaction.
A new element of the present work compared with our previous work
\cite{koetal} was that the hidden sector quark masses also arise from
scale invariant interaction and its breaking due to $\langle S \rangle \neq 0$.
Further the present model is renormalizable, with $S$ being a messenger
connecting the hidden sector and the SM sector.
As a concrete example to show this idea really works, we considered
the $SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R$ chiral symmetry breaking, and dynamics
of the resulting two scalar bosons and the CDM ($\pi_h$'s) using
effective chiral lagrangian technique. The details would depend on
the number of hidden sector quark flavors, but the qualitative features
must be similar to our example based on two flavors in the hidden sector.
Since we have assumed that $\langle S \rangle \lesssim 4 \pi v_h$, its scale is
$\sim $ TeV. Therefore neutrinos get masses through TeV scale seesaw
mechanism, and the Majorana masses for $M_R$'s are $\langle S \rangle$
dependent. Interest in low energy seesaw models is being renewed these
days for various reasons.

We can extend this work in various directions.
The lightest hidden sector baryons could be additional dark
matter candidate, and its phenomenology and relic density are interesting
subjects.  We can consider an extra $U(1)_X$ gauge boson as a messenger,
by introducing a new $U(1)_X$ under which both SM and hidden
sector matters are charged \cite{Strassler:2006im,progress}.
Finally one can study the one loop radiative corrections a la Coleman
and Weinberg \cite{coleman}.
Such calculations have been done recently for the SM plus righthanded
neutrinos by Meissner and Nicolai \cite{Meissner:2006zh},
and it was shown that the realistic EWSB could be possible.
In their scenario, there is no CDM candidate, and it would be interesting
to extend their calcualtions to our model with vectorlike confining gauge
theory in the hidden sector.
More detailed discussions on the topics presented here will be
presented elsewhere \cite{progress}.

The beautiful country of Egypt has come under the spotlight recently, though sadly for reasons of unrest. With it being such a popular destination for holiday makers, many people are wondering if it is still a viable option for them at the moment. But actually, though there are certain parts of Egypt where it is advisable to wait to visit, the country's large area means that many destinations are as welcoming and as peaceful as ever.
Mount Sinai is one of the most hallowed spiritual destinations in the world. St. Catherine's Monastery at its base is built on the supposed site of Moses' burning bush, and the summit is where he is believed to have received The 10 Commandments. Whether you are religious or not, if you climb the mountain in time to watch the sunrise, you are bound to feel the majesty of the place.
Egypt's most famous sites may be the Pyramids and the Sphinx of Giza. But, in fact, the area around Sharm El Sheikh will show you a whole different side to the country. Travel into the Sinai desert to see stunning scenery, like the mind-boggling White and Black deserts. Then go diving in the Red Sea to see all the exotic sea-life that makes up the most exciting of nature's entertainment shows.
The Egyptian coast is always the perfect place to relax on a sunny beach and recharge. But the general media noise has put off some tourists unnecessarily, which means that many resorts are quieter than usual. Should you head for the Red Sea coast, you'll find yourself receiving the best service from Egyptians who are thirsting for your custom, and you might even find a deal to get you there.
The desert is the world's best natural playground, and if you visit Sharm El Sheikh, you must book some outdoor activities, like white-knuckle dune-bashing in Jeeps, sand-boarding, or even just the more traditional camel-riding. There's no better way to appreciate the staggering colours of Egypt's natural landscape than with your adrenaline pumping, out in fresh air.
The holidays where you simply enjoy sitting on the beach are wonderful. But the ones that will create memories you'll cherish forever are the holidays where you experience something new. You never learn as much as you do from a foreign culture, and that of the Bedouin tribes people, who live in the desert around Sharm El Sheikh, is about as foreign to Western culture as it could be. Share a meal with the welcoming locals, or browse through and buy some of their beautifully beaded, handmade jewelery. Small gifts, such as pens and paper, are always appreciated, and perhaps the children will teach you some of the traditional sign language in exchange.

India: Whether The Bar Of Jurisdiction Under Section 42 Applies To An Application Filed Under Section 11 After The Arbitration & Conciliation (Amendment) Act, 2015
Article by Yaman Kumar and Gunjan Chhabra
Singhania & Partners LLP, Solicitors and Advocates
By way of the Arbitration & Conciliation (Amendment) Act, 2015 (herein after referred to as the Amendment Act), inter alia, a significant change that has been brought about in Section 11 of the Arbitration & Conciliation Act, 1996 (Hereinafter called the Act), is the insertion of the words "High Court" and "Supreme Court " instead of "Chief Justice" and "Chief Justice of India".
This particular amendment has a direct bearing on the interpretation of Section 42 of the Act which envisages exclusion/bar of all courts other than 'Court' before which any application under Part I has been initially made with respect to an arbitration agreement. Section 42 of the Act reads as under:
"42. Jurisdiction � Notwithstanding anything contained elsewhere in this Part or in any other law for the time being in force, where with respect to an arbitration agreement any application under this Part has been made in a Court, that Court alone shall have jurisdiction over the arbitration proceedings and all subsequent applications arising out of that agreement and the arbitral proceedings shall be made in that Court and in no other Court."
To examine the issue the definition of "Court" as defined under Section 2(1) (e) would be relevant which is as under:
""Court" means:-
in the case of an arbitration other than international commercial arbitration, the principal Civil Court of original jurisdiction in a district, and includes the High Court in exercise of its ordinary original civil jurisdiction, having jurisdiction to decide the questions forming the subject-matter of the arbitration if the same had been the subject-matter of a suit, but does not include any Civil Court of a grade inferior to such principal Civil Court, or any Court of Small Causes;
in the case of international commercial arbitration, the High Court in exercise of its ordinary original civil jurisdiction, having jurisdiction to decide the questions forming the subject-matter of the arbitration if the same had been the subject-matter of a suit, and in other cases, a High Court having jurisdiction to hear appeals from decrees of courts subordinate to that High Court"
What clearly follows from the above definition is that as regards arbitrations, other than international commercial arbitrations, the principle Civil Court of original jurisdiction in a district, which has the jurisdiction to decide the question forming the subject-matter of the arbitration if the same had been subject-matter of a suit, would be the competent "Court" for the purpose of this Act. It specifically includes the High Court which has ordinary original civil jurisdiction, like Delhi High Court.
Prior to the amendment of 2015, the question as to whether application U/s 11 falls within the purview of Section 42 had been deliberated upon and answered in the negative in catena of judgments. In the judgment of M/s S.K. Brothers Vs. Delhi Development Authority1 the Single Bench of Delhi High Court was confronted with the question as to whether this court, notwithstanding the amount in the execution application of an arbitral award being below the minimum pecuniary jurisdiction of Rs. 20 lakhs, would have exclusive jurisdiction to entertain the said execution application by virtue of Section 42 merely because this court had exercised the jurisdiction under Section 11 (6) of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 by appointing the arbitrator earlier.
The Hon'ble Court while elaborating the aforesaid issue had placed reliance upon the following judicial precedents:
Rodemadan India Ltd. Vs. International Trade Expo Centre Ltd2.
It was held in the said judgment in Para 8 that the power under Section 11(6) of the Act (1996 Act)is the power of a designate referred to under the section and not that of the Supreme Court, albeit that it has now been held to have judicial characteristics by reason of the judgment in SBP & Co. Vs. Patel Engg. Ltd.3. It was further held in Para 25 of the judgment that neither the Chief Justice nor his designate under Section 11(6) is a "Court" as contemplated under 2(1)(e) of the Act and further that the bar of jurisdiction under Section 42 is only intended to apply to a "Court" as defined in Section 2(1)(e).
Union of India Vs. S.R. Constructions Company and Another4
It was held that mere passing of an order under Section 11(6) of the Act (1996 Act) by this court would not vest this court with the exclusive jurisdiction under Section 42 of the Act to entertain the objections under Section 34 of the Act, if otherwise this court did not have the pecuniary jurisdiction to entertain the said objections.
Pandey & Co. Builders (P) Ltd. vs. State of Bihar and Another5
It was held that Section 42 only applies to applications and not to appeals under Section 37 of the Act. Applying the same reasoning, Section 42 would also not apply to execution applications. The execution application is not "arbitral Proceedings" within the meaning of Section 42 of the Act and is not a subsequent application arising out of the agreement and the arbitral proceedings. In fact, the arbitral proceedings come to an end when the time for making an application to set aside the arbitral award expires and the execution application is an enforcement of the award which takes the colour of a decree under the C.P.C., by virtue of the provisions of Section 36 of the Act.
Taking note of the ratio laid down in the aforesaid judicial pronouncements, the Hon'ble Delhi High Court, in M/s S.K. Brothers (Supra), had turned down the reason propounded by the decree holder and concluded that execution application does not lie before this Hon'ble court.
A similar question had arisen for consideration before the Division Bench of Delhi High Court in the matter of Vijay Gupta vs. Renu Malhotra6 wherein the Hon'ble Court had reaffirmed the view taken in M/s S.K. Brothers (Supra) and denied the benefit of Section 42 on the basis of the rationale that the expression "Chief Justice" as contained in Section 11 of the Act (1996 Act), is not synonymous with the term the "Court" as defined in Section 2(1)(e) of the Act, and therefore merely because an arbitrator has been appointed by the chief justice, the same in itself would not be sufficient to vest jurisdiction with the High Court to entertain any other/subsequent applications relating to the said arbitral proceedings in which the arbitrator was appointed, irrespective of the pecuniary limits on its jurisdiction.
The Hon'ble Apex Court in its recent (pre-amendment) judgment in State of West Bengal vs. Associated Contractors7 had distinguished the treatment of Section 9 and Section 11 applications Vis-�-vis Section 42 and held that while applications under Section 9 and 34 fall within the purview of Section 42, the applications under Sections 8 and 11 would be outside Section 42. The Hon'ble Supreme Court had inter alia had arrived at the following conclusions (a) Section 2 (1) (e) contains an exhaustive definition marking out only the Principal Civil Court of original jurisdiction in a district or a High Court having original civil jurisdiction in the State, and no other court as "Court" for the purpose of Part-I of the Arbitration Act, 1996 and (b) Section 42 applies to applications made under Part-I if they are made to a court as defined. Since applications made under Section 8 are made to judicial authorities and since applications under Section 11 are made to the Chief Justice or his designate, the judicial authority and the Chief Justice or his designate not being court as defined, such applications would be outside Section 42.
From the foregoing decisions it is amply clear that the reason of taking the application under Section 11 out of the purview of Section 42 of the Arbitration Act, 1996 was that the expression "Chief Justice" as contained in Section 11 of 1996, Act was not synonymous with the term "Court" as defined in Section 2(1) (e) of the Act.
However, with the amendment to Section 11 which has done away with the expression "Chief Justice" and has rather conferred the power under Section 11 (6) on the "High Court", the question which arises for consideration, post amendment, is whether the application for appointment of arbitrator under Section 11 would be sufficient to vest exclusive jurisdiction with the High Court to entertain any other/subsequent applications relating to the arbitral proceedings in which the arbitrator was appointed.
Will the amendment to Section 11 replacing the word "Chief Justice" with the "High Court" result in the applicability of Section 42 to the application under Section 11 as such application would no longer be made to the Chief Justice but to the High Court i.e. a Court as defined under Section 2(1) (e) of the Act?
Though the answer to the aforesaid question has to be in the affirmative, however, the effect of the amendment to Section 11 vis-�-vis the bar of jurisdiction under Section 42 is yet to be seen in light of a precedent dealing with this issue post amendment.

A girl spends all her spare time with the horses of her tribe, feeding and caring for them. One day there is a sudden, terrible storm. The girl jumps on the back of one of the horses just as the whole herd starts to stampede, galloping far away from home. They find themselves in the far-off hills, where a magnificent stallion appears. He is the king of the wild horses and invites them to join his herd. The girl is delighted to live with the wild horses. After a year her people find her and bring her home, but she convinces them that she will only be happy if allowed to live with the wild horses forever. The tribe agrees and shower gifts upon the wild horses. It is thought that after many years the girl finally turned into a wild horse herself.
This story follows a common theme among Native American legends, that of the human girl who goes to live with animals. (Ie. The Frog Princess; a Tlingit Legend from Alaska.) This story is particularly satisfying because there is no strife between human and horse. (Typically the girl's father declares war on the animals, who retaliate, etc etc.) This book is a peaceful one, focussing on the affection and admiration the Plains Indians had for their horses.

Ben Crane should have known what was coming when he rolled in a 30-foot birdie putt on the first hole of the day. He kept right on pouring them in until he had a 7-under 65 and a one-shot lead in The Players Championship.
May. 8, 2009 4:03 p.m.
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Ben Crane should have known what was coming when he rolled in a 30-foot birdie putt on the first hole of the day. He kept right on pouring them in until he had a 7-under 65 and a one-shot lead in The Players Championship.
Crane made four birdie putts longer than 20 feet, kept his ball on land throughout another wild opening round Thursday on the TPC Sawgrass and wound up atop a leaderboard devoid of the biggest stars.
Tiger Woods couldn't make a putt outside four feet.
Phil Mickelson ran off three straight birdies early in his round, then couldn't keep the ball in play.
Defending champion Sergio Garcia opened with a 71 and already was looking forward to going home to Spain.
He had a one-shot lead over John Mallinger, Alex Cejka and Richard S. Johnson of Sweden, with a large group at 67 that included Retief Goosen, David Toms, Camilo Villegas and Scott Verplank, who had two eagles — one of them from 150 yards out on the 15th fairway, another with a putt that seemed about that long on the par-5 second.
Calgary's Stephen Ames is tied for 23rd at 2-under after shooting a 70, while Mike Weir, of Bright's Grove, Ont., is tied for 58th with an even-par 72.
Woods opened his round with four straight birdie chances inside 12 feet and missed them all. He wound up with a 71, keeping alive his streak of never breaking 70 in the opening round at this elite event.
Mickelson hit iron off the 18th tee but it worked out beautifully with an approach to five feet for birdie to salvage a 73.
That can happen on one of the most exciting courses in golf, where small mistakes can turn into big numbers.
Brian Gay made a small error by trying to reach the fourth green from the left rough, coming up short and into the water. He took a drop, dumped it in the water again, finally got on land and three-putted for a quintuple-bogey 9 on his way to an 80, one of five players who failed to break 80.
Or take the group of Steve Lowery, Daniel Chopra and Paul Goydos. They played the par-3 17th in a combined 18 shots, with four balls in the water — and Goydos made a par. Lowery put two in the drink and three-putted for an 8, while Chopra rinsed two and made 7.
But there were times that Sawgrass was forgiving.
Villegas was cruising along at 3 under early in his round when he punched a six-iron from under the trees to just short of the green, then chipped too hard and watched it roll off the green and into the water. He dropped on the edge of the putting surface and holed a 35-foot putt to walk off with a par.
Crane got his day off to a slow start. His wife had the car, so he rode to the Stadium Course on the back of his caddie's moped. Then, he was off to the races. He opened with consecutive birdies starting at No. 10, made the turn in 33, then ran off five birdies in a six-hole stretch along his back nine. The hole looked the same size, but it seemed like a magnet for his ball.

Full Information in Blog Condensed Info Below.
A pure-blooded high elf daughter born to the lead huntress of the Morilain, and one of the royal guards of the city. Both with long lines within the Kiazare clan. Kirai raised in comfort and class. She an outspoken girl when she grows comfortable with people, however shy when faced with those she doesn't know though warms up quickly as she never had to worry of being harmed, high elves not known for their bullying, nor their violence she grew up shelter and loved.
However when she reached her milestone to pass to the next stage of her childhood her way of life would be changed. One of the clans exiled from her city long before her birth invaded, joining forces with those of dark origins they slaughter her home, while she had gone off to play, she spent two days in the forest, avoiding returning home, as no doubt there would be hell to pay from her mother when she returned.
However that would never be a worry again. When she finally got hungry and was willing to give up her freedom for months no doubt she returned home, the fighting was still going on to defend her home, though the battle a losing one, many of the elves lay dead, their bodies, eaten on by some of the creatures who invaded. The sight scared her, though she in denial of what was happening returned home, it set ablaze her parent's dead bodies resting within. The child would run from her homeland.
Away from her homeland the elf child would begin to grow in an accelerated pattern for her breed, matching the speed of a mortal child in aging. This would be painful for her, as her bones would grow quickly, however, the magic of her world that help slow it gone, A defensive power for elvish children to allow them to grow quickly if away from their kin.
Kirai had learned to look more human, how to hide her ears, and to wear hats to hide her hair often attaching horse hair to her hats to work as a wig to hide the blue hair of her breed. She slowly growing skilled in stealing moving on from just poorly watched food items, to stealing coin from pockets or bags, as she grew older, her skills stronger, her breeds power of seeing even hidden enchantments upon items as if they in plain sight grew. She found herself drawn to them she stealing from homes, and stores, until one day, she failed to make the escape.
The Elf captured by a band of mercenaries, they would spend months trying to break the elf, they would use many techniques to try, but the elf would hold to the memory of her family, her people, and as she sunk into the darkness of the abuse, and humiliation of their attempts, a new part of her formed, a new strength, If humans and lower beings could do this to her, what could she do with planning to those who had wronged her? A new strength born hatred, and defiance, a new part of her personality formed from her years as a thief how to manipulate.Though a gift also, she never suffered what they could truly do to her, She rare her breeds power of sight useful, they needed her, she would not face the threats of death the others did, as she was more valuable even unbroken alive.
She would be sold after almost 2 years of them trying to break her, they keeping her blinded folded, and gagged, her powers sealed by a collar as they sent her to be sold, after all the elf was a lovely creature, her scars from training hidden by her dress, she would be sold to the highest bidder, her fate unknown.
Re-Sold once more Fighting Pits Kirai the high elf- Grown into her powers would be sold to the fighting pits, they trading her for a new slave from the pit, one who would be grateful for the chance not to be fighting for their lives every day. She would spend years doing just that, fighting for her life, and earning her place in the fighting pits, here they did not just deal with mortals and creatures of their domain but creatures of the mystic. The Entry fees much higher.
After many years serving she would be free to explore the world as she saw fit, A new master of the fighting pit taking favor with her, and offering her coin and setting the high elf free. She would spend a few weeks within the city that held the fighting pits, she learning of how the world had moved on in the years of her confinement.
The Vengeful Wanderer Kirai would be out for blood, now, she had learned a good bit from the pits, including who had attacked her home, demons had attacked her home, she would use every coin she had if needed to find them, and she would take out any and all slave traders she could find while she was at it, she had grown stronger in the pits, and she had no problem lopping off a head to prove a point anymore, no longer the soft woman who had been caught all those year ago.
In her wanderings, she would hear of artifacts of her people. Her eyes falling upon them the unique shine that to her eyes elvish magic gave off she would hunt them down, any and all of her kind she could find would be hers. She having spent most of her coin on avenging them she hadn't thought of the pieces of them that remained, the pieces of her home that had been plundered she would regain them all.
She returning to her homeland a cart of items from her land she would bring them back, She scared to see, fearful of what she would find, though since she re-woke she couldn't help but return, To see what remains of her people what remains of her home, her cart loaded with valuables as she moved she ever cautious and ready to defend Her items.
Her eyes see not only the world before her but powers held within artifacts, her gaze can see the aura of magical artifacts.
If she Favors the dark, her powers for destruction will grow her healing powers diminishing to nothing.
A blast of light escapes her hand can only be done twice a day, and hits no harder than an adult punch, with minor effects of purification added to it.
Healing touch has the ability to heal minor wounds with the touch of her hands, on herself or others, It cannot heal major damage but could potentially lessen the wound enough for survival.
User can restore organic organisms to their optimal health, curing damaged or withered organisms, wounds, broken bones, low vitality, and diseases/poisoning. Though the user may potentially heal any form of bodily damage, the patient must be alive, even if hanging by a thin thread, in order to be healed; once the patient has died, it would transcend healing.
User becomes stronger, faster, more durable when focusing healing powers upon herself. By offering constant healing to push the body beyond it's usual capabilities.
A blast of her purifying aura will surround her hand briefly before it is forced at her enemies. It can only be done 10 times a day.
The energy hits with a concussive force.
Using her aura she can protect items to protect them from damage, this will result in a light glow around the item, or person she is using the effect on.
Kirai's can use no other power when this is in place.
A blast of her purifying aura will surround her hand briefly before it is forced at her enemies.
Size is adjustable, number of usage depends on size and force of blast.
Kirai can place her unique Aura within items, pressing it through her hands, this will leave a small seal upon them, that locks them to her aura.
This will allow her to locate, Project her voice through the seal, and ease drop on conversations through it, She can also if the imprinted item in question is under 5 pounds she can call it back to her using her aura.
To install imprint she had to touch with the palm of her hand for 10 seconds.
I have a 3 paragraph minimum expectation.
however I would prefer 6-16 personally, but I do not require it!
I do accept random starters, I also accept discussions, I do offer some playable plot points(Starters) that are pre-written and ready to go, I can and will also write personalized ones. I enjoy having options.
Activity I am not on a lot, replies will be slow Please understand this.
I am open to any kind of RP, and have little limits in what I will write so long as it does fit in with the tale. I love intricate stories, I want to be challenged. I want to press my creativity to the next level and battle my written word against yours in a waltz that carries our epic tale into the stars.
Kirai has a cannon tale, however, I am more than happy to join yours. Transplant her into your characters domain.
Also last but not least; Keep RP as RP and RL as RL.
I often tend to wander about the viewing of profiles myself. I do not get to role-play much anymore so I don't have my hands tied down to anything but rl responsibilities. So I often search around for some novelists and try to hash ideas with them until I can spark my muse up. Sometimes its good to get fresh ideas. I've actually been trying to put together this story that I have happening in my head lately but I'm having the hardest time trying to get the intricacies together for it. Heh. Sorry, I do tend to ramble a lot. Anywho, I completely understand the Discord thing. Perhaps later on, you can venture off and add me. I tend to be a bit more responsive over there. Lol.
I was reading the rules on your profile because it said you viewed me, and it turns out we might actually be a pretty good fit! I'm a very intuitive and intricate story-teller. I use my story-telling to vent and just gain some freedom of expression. Do you have a discord?
Also I don't mind either way.
Am I writing the starter or are you?
Sassy lil elf aren't you!?
Hmmm... I guess that would depend on the story. You have so many different variants on your character it's hard to pick one. How about you pick one and we can role with that.
That is not rp XD do you have any ideas?
And awesomesauce! You shall recieve the reply soon in the next day or so!
Ooc- Hello friend! :3 Seeing how this is literally the first message that hasn't been a roleplay let me just say this has been the best turn out for a random roleplay ever! xD Typically when I send random starters its because I'm unsure or doubtful if the person is very adamant about actually roleplaying and it doesn't usually turn out super well. But this one has been pleasantly surprising and is heading towards some interest stuff!
The reason I am messaging you is because I plan to reply by tomorrow or Wednesday and theirs something I want to do. However I feel it only respectful to say something first. Now I'd like to keep the actual thing I plan to do a surprise for when you get to read it but it does however take free will away from your character for a short moment and will implicate a big change in her. I know we are doing the slave thing and technically would get to do anything, but I still feel it be best to ask first :3 Now I'm completely fine if you'd like to keep said change only in our roleplay and not extend it to your actual character for everyone else to see. That's typically how I do things unless the roleplay is captivating to me. Also if you'd rather know what I plan to do then I will tell you. Otherwise just give the green light and I will go on ahead with it~ I mostly ask because it wont be a singular action. I'll be doing a few different things before I end the reply.

Sunderland under-23s surrendered a two-goal lead in their second pre-season friendly last night.
Shildon found themselves trailing 2-0 at the break after goals from Jack Diamond and Alex Storey put the young Black Cats in full control of the game.
But a valiant second-half comeback saw the lads' lead gobbled up as Shildon came back to claim a draw.
On Saturday, Elliott Dickman's young guns got their campaign off to a flying start as they defeated Silksworth CW at the Academy of Light. Fast forward four days and there was a new face in the ranks as former Liverpool youngster Jordan Hunter featured on the bench after securing his Wearside switch on Monday.
Sunderland under-23s picked up where they left off on the weekend, swiftly going in front through Diamond before Storey doubled their advantage before half-time.
Billy Greulich-Smith pulled one back shortly after the midway interval before he later converted a penalty to seal the comeback.
Next up for Sunderland under-23s is a visit to Sunderland RCA next Thursday.
Sunderland U23 starting XI: Trialist, Gamble, Kokolo, Bale, Tasylor, Storey, Diamond, Connolly, Shields, Hackett, Kimpioka.
Subs: Young, Patterson, Dunne, Evans, Connelly, Hunter, Brotherton.

The G400WCU-T4F generator has a prime power rating of 322 kW. It uses a Cummins QSG12 diesel with 513 horsepower. The generator provides 20 hours of runtime at 100 percent load, the company says, with a 505-gallon fuel tank paired with two diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) tanks to ensure DEF supply matches the available fuel supply.
The CoolBox Plus enclosure features a variable speed cooling fan that allows enhanced performance in extreme ambient temperatures, improved fuel economy, and lower noise levels, the company says.
The operator panel includes the TG410 controller and a full array of analog gauges. A link board panel allows multi-voltage configuration, including 480V-3Ø; 240V-3Ø; 208V-3Ø; and 120/240V-1Ø. A dual-frequency switch allows operators to power 50-hertz applications.
An environmental containment system prevents potential fuel or oil spills outside of the package.

COMMENTS: These are great bottles. Bought them in the 4 and 8 oz size. They look so high quality!!
"Nice "Men" Colored Bottle-Compare to "Crew""
COMMENTS: My son said these bottles look like the Crew products come in. Very professional and classy. Great for men.
COMMENTS: Great way to package product.
COMMENTS: These bottles look great and are sturdy. Good buy.
COMMENTS: I use this to package some of my men's lotions and shower gels. Dark color creates a nice effect on the product.
"Gives Products a Professional Look!"
COMMENTS: I purchased this product because I ran out of 8oz Amber Bullets and after looking through the selection WSP had to offer I decided to try something new. I was not disappointed. In my opinion, this bottle gives my products a sleek, more professional look when compared to the Bullet bottles. I can't wait to see my customers reactions to the change.
COMMENTS: Zero complaints! These bottles are lovely and functional.
COMMENTS: Love this for my body wash! Nice to have a different shape bottle, wish it came in more sizes! As all WSP products, great amber color and durability!
COMMENTS: I love the look of theses for my products. I have tried the clear ones, but these just look classier to me. I would use the clear if you want something visible, like shower beads, kids toys, etc. but theses are great! Plan on using WSP's amber bottles for most of my products. They come in lots of sizes and colors, but I love the Amber with Black tops!
COMMENTS: These bottles work perfectly for the lotion I make. The amber color looks professional and gives it a spa quality. I like to use them with the black disc closure. The bottles have a nice shiny finish - not cloudy. I would definitely recommend these bottles.
COMMENTS: I originally began using WSP due to their reasonable pricing on high quality packaging for products. Now I buy everything I can here! These are the PERECT color for my beer lotions! After spending time trying to figure out how to make my lotion itself a deep brown, I thought of looking at bottle color selections from WSP. I am extremely pleased that they have so many color choices of bottles, jars, and tops as this has really helped me to customize and differentiate between my products. I am going adding more to my shopping basket as soon as I finish this review.
COMMENTS: Easy to use as all your bottles!
COMMENTS: I love these Amber Cosmo bottles. The price is competitive, but the free shipping and service is unbeatable!
COMMENTS: These bottles are wonderful for oils! Get the matching twist tops!
COMMENTS: Use them for my Goat's Milk and Honey lotions! Excellent bottles, and love the amber!
COMMENTS: I just love the look of these amber colored bottles....so professional and upscale looking. I love this specific shape for body lotions. Highly recommend!!
COMMENTS: I love these bottles! Just made a batch of body lotions this morning with the black elite ribbed pumps. It makes my lotions look "classy".
"More flexible than bullet bottles"
COMMENTS: I like the look and feel, make my lotions look notable. These squeeze better than the bullets, which was important to me for top options. The shape lends a certain clas to the overall presentation. I think I will replace my other bottles where appropriate with this style.
COMMENTS: I love this bottle and have used for years because they look so professional.
• Easy labeling and durability!
COMMENTS: Is just perfect for shower gel...use it with the cedarwood oil. Makes a nice gift, too.
COMMENTS: I use this when making facial cleanser for my family. Very sturdy product.
"I ordered the 95x55 shrink wrap bands as suggested for this product. But they shrink up so small that you can either open the pump or unscrew the whole pump from the bottle, which is what I am trying to avoid. My products are on sale at several different other shops and even though I have testers available, people keep opening new bottles. "
Staff Answer The shrink bands come in standard sizes and we choose the best band to fit each bottle so they are not made specifically for each bottle. You can try two different sizes - one for the cap area and then another for the bottom. We also checked the 102 x 102 band which is longer. This would fit the top area and part of the bottle but you will have excess around the top because there is such a difference in the width of the top and the bottle.
"What is a good measurement for labels on this size bottle?"
We recommend receiving the product prior to printing labels.

Garmin Introduces Tandem Cockpit
Cockpit device can be modified to fit a variety of training missions.
By Pia Bergqvist
A variety of Garmin avionics systems can be incorporated into the tandem cockpit device.Garmin
Garmin will display a new training system at the Farnborough Air Show set to take place July 16 through 20. Being a tandem trainer, the system appears best suited for military and defense applications, but Garmin says it can be tailored to fleet operators in the air transport and business aviation market as well. "We're excited to offer this premium cockpit experience at Farnborough, which demonstrates just how versatile our systems can be while providing state-of-the-art capability and reliability in a value-added avionics package," said Carl Wolf, vice president of aviation marketing and sales.
The system can be tailored to accommodate specific operations and a variety of aircraft types including multi-role and supersonic aircraft. While not a full flight simulator, the system includes controls for hands-on flying. It can be designed and configured for a specified aircraft cockpit. Night vision goggles and head-up displays can be incorporated.
The scalable system includes a large, high definition display, which can show terrain, ADS-B and TCAS traffic, weather and more. The system on display at Farnborough is equipped with Garmin's G3000 display and two Garmin touchscreen controllers. However, it can support other Garmin avionics systems as well. An interface between the integrated flight deck and the L3 ForceX Window mission computer is also provided.
Because there are so many options with this system, Garmin is not yet releasing a price point.

Cardinal Memorial Scholarship in Honor of Joe E. Smith
A brilliant red cardinal landed in the empty hallway of Parkersburg South High School on a sunny Saturday afternoon in May. The cardinal allowed the son and granddaughter of an amazing man to pick him up, gently stroke his feathers, and release him into the great outdoors where he flew away peacefully. The meaningful and heartwarming symbol of the red cardinal's visit is a gentle reminder that, in spirit, we are never far apart from those we love. The Cardinal Memorial was then created from this encounter to celebrate the life of a truly wonderful person.
Joe Smith was that amazing man - intelligent, witty, loving, faithful, kind and unforgettable. He was devoted to his wife, Sherry; his sons, Ryan (Ashley) and Zac, and his beautiful grandchildren, Nola Rosie and Jonah. He loved his family beyond measure. He grew up in Parkersburg, the son and brother of a loving family, and graduated from Parkersburg High School and Marshall University. He worked for thirty-seven years in Wood County Schools as a teacher, school counselor, service personal facilitator/tester and Director of the Caperton Center for Applied Technology. He was involved in his church and community through coaching sports teams, leading church youth groups, tutoring disadvantaged students and counseling kids from troubled circumstances. He never met a stranger and lived life to his fullest, always enjoying company and conversation wherever he went.
When he passed away in February 2021 of Covid Pneumonia at the age of 68, his family was unable to celebrate his life completely because of community health concerns with the disease. The Cardinal Memorial was established out of his family's unending love, devotion, and desire to commemorate his life. With this fund, The Cardinal Memorial Scholarship will be forever awarded to a graduating senior with plans to pursue a degree in education and share their love for learning.

R. N. Gaggar Family Scholarship Fund
The R. N. Gaggar Family Scholarship Fund was established in memory of Ram Nath (R. N.) Gaggar, who was born in a small village in India in 1903 with limited educational opportunities. He lived a simple life and strived to continuously help the underprivileged members of his community by providing financial assistance and by emphasizing the importance of education. Within his own family, R.N. Gaggar encouraged his younger son, Satish, to pursue higher education in the United States and to continue to support educational opportunities to those needing it the most. R. N. Gaggar passed away in 1983.
Satish and his wife, Mithlesh, settled in the Parkersburg area to raise their family and to continue R. N. Gaggar's philanthropic passion to support others. Their two children, Amit and Anuj, are both Parkersburg South High School graduates. The family credits this region, their education, and their determination to do good work to their achievements. To say, 'thank you' and to support others who seek to pursue education past high school, the Gaggar family created the R. N. Gaggar Family Scholarship Fund.
The scholarship is available to two graduating Parkersburg South High School seniors who are enrolled or plan to enroll in a two-year or four-year college or university. The recipients shall have a cumulative high school grade point average of a least a 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. Recipients will also be selected on financial need with preference to be given to first-generation college students. The fund will make its first award spring of 2022.

I was directed to this fantastic video. Probably not the safest or most efficient method to get up the river but pretty funny indeed.

Infomart is een van de grootste gebouwen in de Amerikaanse stad Dallas.

Geschiedenis
Infomart werd gebouwd op de plaats waar het P.C. Cobb Stadium lag, het stadion waar in 1969 de in 1981 opgeheven voetbalclub Dallas Tornado de thuiswedstrijden speelde. Infomart kostte 97 miljoen dollar en werd geopend op 21 januari 1985. De eerste jaren werd het gebouw gebruikt als permanente handelsbeurs voor bedrijven op het gebied van informatietechnologie (IT). Heden is Infomart in gebruik als datacenter en kantoorgebouw voor meer dan honderd informatietechnologie- en telecommunicatie-bedrijven.

Het gebouw heeft zeven verdiepingen en een vloeroppervlak van circa 150.000 vierkante meter.

Ontwerp
Het gebouw heeft een staalskelet met vliesgevel van metaal en glas. Het ontwerp is gebaseerd op het Crystal Palace, een groot doorzichtig gebouw dat werd gebouwd voor de wereldtentoonstelling van 1851 in Hyde Park (Londen). Infomart is door het Britse parlement tot de officiële opvolger van het Crystal Palace benoemd.

Jag har varit inne pÃ¥ vargar förut, och nu kommer det igen. "Trophic cascade" är nÃ¥got som svenska myndigheter borde fundera över… Det är DEN mest fantastiska vetenskapliga upptäckten som gjorts under det senaste halvseklet. Faktum är att det tog sÃ¥ lÃ¥ng tid innan det sjönk in… Som det är nu är det sorgligt till den milda grad vad som görs mot den svenska naturen. För att förstÃ¥ vad fler vargar i Sverige skulle innebära, och speciellt om man kallar sig naturvän, sÃ¥ krävs det att man tittar igenom den här filmsnutten. Gör man det förstÃ¥r man att i Sverige har vi snart ingen natur kvar. Det är bara en enda stor park där vi odlar brädor pÃ¥ rot. När man sett filmklippet och betänker rubrikens innebörd svindlar tanken. Hur skulle Sverige kunna se ut i framtiden?
A phenomena appeared one day, and boy am I happy I got a camera handy!!
More details about this mornings Earth-quake has now been released on radio and tv news. Under swedish circumstances it was a very powerful quake. Apparently it was the most severe for over 100 years. Reports are now pouring in from the whole country about the effects. Still no damages have been reported but seismologists say that houses may have developed cracks in the facades.
The epicenter was located some 30 or 40 kilometers south of the Ministry and was felt widely around south Sweden, northern Germany and parts of Denmark. Seismologists also say that we might experience secondary quake/s within in a couple of days.
At around 6.21 (local time) this morning a minor earth-quake hit the Ministry. So far no physical damage has not yet been detected but it's still pitch black outside so it's hard to say. The quake hit the Ministry personnel in the morning rituals and was quite severe. It shook the house and sounded and felt almost like when a huge chunk of snow on the roof starts gliding and fall to the ground. That was also the first notion that went through my head. The only thing is that there is no snow at all for the moment, and it was going on quite too long for that. It was a surreal feeling and another thought that hit me was why the authorities hadn't made it known that there was an earth-quake to expect this morning. Very sloppy. It seems we aren't that developed (as we might be led to think sometimes).
Rumors this far has it that it was a 4.7 on the richter scale, which isn't much compared to all the other big ones that has hit on a global scale. But it sure was enough to rattle your bones and make you nervous.
Some time ago now the Ministry increased it's fleet of vehicle possessions with a heavy duty work machine. This makes it now possible for heavy lifting and moving at the Ministry. It makes jobs much easier now and it's almost impossible to grasp how the Ministry managed without such capacities before. The latest news concerns some sort of land art project at the Ministry.
The inventor, Robert Adler is dead, at the age of 93. One of his best known inventions, the remote control, was introduced in 1956. (In Sweden the invention got a wider spread around 20 years later…).
In his lifetime, Adler was granted 180 patents for electronic devices. During World War II, he worked on high-frequency oscillators and electromechanical filters for aircraft radios. He is also known for his work in surface acoustic wave technology used in color televisions and touch screens.
But the invention Adler is best known for is however the wireless remote control for televisions. While not the first remote control, Adler's remote control used sound to communicate with a television set instead of using light. In the 1960's, Mr. Adler modified the remote control to use ultrasonic signals.
In 1980 Robert Adler was awarded the IEEE's Edison Medal. In 1997, he and his co-inventor Eugene Polley were awarded an Emmy by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. His latest patent application was filed on February 1, 2007 for work on touch-screen technology. Mr Adler died on Februari 15, 2007.
The Solar system has lost a planet!
Prague – Our solar system has lost a planet! It's the smallest and most desolate planet, Pluto, that is no more!
The most amazing thing about the news is the fact that first news was that the solar system was to gain three new planets (under a revised definition). So the first news proposal was for the solar system to be expanded to contain 12 planets (in two tiers), but now the IAU found that there is only eight!
For a week, an assembly of 2,500 delegates at the International Astronomical Union (IAU) has been debating Pluto's future, as well as the status of three other bodies: Ceres, until now regarded as the solar system's largest asteroid; Charon, one of Pluto's moons; and a newly discovered object called 2003 UB313 – nicknamed Xena after the television warrior princess played by Lucy Lawless.
A seven-strong IAU committee that has spent two years deciding the criteria that command planetary status. This semantic issue has caused bitter disagreements between astronomers for years, as there has been no official ruling on what constitutes a planet. Broadly, large round objects that are not stars and which orbit the Sun rather than another planet have been considered planets, but no upper or lower limit has been set for size.
Pluto was discovered in 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh, a 24-year-old American astronomer, Pluto's status as the ninth, oddly small planet had been in jeopardy since the 1990s – one of the longest-running controversies in astronomy. Pluto's right to be called a planet was questioned when powerful telescopes revealed objects just as large also making distant orbits in the darkness beyond Neptune.

The Nasdaq index with less than an hour left in trading, is trading higher by 76 points or 1.08% at 7260. Solid gain, but off the high at 7303.12. That high was able to extend above the indexes 100 day MA at 7287.75. The inability to keep the fire above that MA, may be a warning flag.
The projected upper bound is: 7,660.35.
The projected lower bound is: 6,904.03.
The projected closing price is: 7,282.19.
During the past 10 bars, there have been 7 white candles and 3 black candles for a net of 4 white candles. During the past 50 bars, there have been 28 white candles and 22 black candles for a net of 6 white candles.
A rising window occurred (where the top of the previous shadow is below the bottom of the current shadow). This usually implies a continuation of a bullish trend. There have been 5 rising windows in the last 50 candles–this makes the current rising window even more bullish.
One method of interpreting the Stochastic Oscillator is looking for overbought areas (above 80) and oversold areas (below 20). The Stochastic Oscillator is 73.5525. This is not an overbought or oversold reading. The last signal was a sell 7 period(s) ago.
The RSI shows overbought (above 70) and oversold (below 30) areas. The current value of the RSI is 62.35. This is not a topping or bottoming area. A buy or sell signal is generated when the RSI moves out of an overbought/oversold area. The last signal was a buy 24 period(s) ago.
The CCI shows overbought (above 100) and oversold (below -100) areas. The current value of the CCI is 204.This is an overbought reading. However, a signal isn't generated until the indicator crosses below 100. The last signal was a sell 3 period(s) ago.
The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence indicator (MACD) gives signals when it crosses its 9 period signal line. The last signal was a buy 20 period(s) ago.
NASDAQ COMPOSITE closed up 98.658 at 7,281.737. Volume was 21% above average (neutral) and Bollinger Bands were 9% narrower than normal.
NASDAQ COMPOSITE gapped up today (bullish) on normal volume. Possibility of a Runaway Gap which usually signifies a continuation of the trend. Four types of price gaps exist – Common, Breakaway, Runaway, and Exhaustion. Gaps acts as support/resistance.
NASDAQ COMPOSITE is currently 2.3% below its 200-period moving average and is in an upward trend. Volatility is extremely low when compared to the average volatility over the last 10 periods. There is a good possibility that there will be an increase in volatility along with sharp price fluctuations in the near future. Our volume indicators reflect moderate flows of volume into .IXIC (mildly bullish). Our trend forecasting oscillators are currently bullish on .IXIC and have had this outlook for the last 15 periods.


The UK been has ranked the 3rd most congested in Europe – drivers spend an average of 32 hours a year in traffic jams during peak times, according to a report by traffic information company Inrix.
Over 1,000 cities worldwide were included in the study, and London was named the seventh worst for congestion and number one in the country, followed by Manchester, Aberdeen, Birmingham and Edinburgh which make up the UK's five most congested cities.
The direct and indirect costs of traffic jams cost London drivers £6.2bn last year, that's £1,911 each. Meanwhile in other parts of the country, the average is significantly lower at £968 per driver.
Though it may seem bad for us in the UK, North America cities dominated the top ten most congested cities in the world list, with five major cities making an appearance.
Los Angeles was seen to be the most congested with over with drivers spending a average 104 hours in traffic, followed by New York, San Francisco, Atlanta, and Miami took the tenth spot.


I'm an anchor baby. Born in the U.S. while my Canadian father was in rabbinical school, I was supposed to be born in Toronto. Indeed, my mother had plane tickets for Canada three days after my sister and I came a month early, surprise twins. I'm not supposed to be an American. But I am, even though I grew up in the Great White North. When we unexpectedly moved back to the U.S. in 1993, the border guards asked my twin and I (now all of 14), "Have you ever renounced your citizenship?" With a negative answer, we were ushered right in. Welcome home.
Unlike the U.S., Canada requires both current residency and citizenship to vote, and here in the U.S., my politically-minded parents found themselves completely disenfranchised. It was equally frustrating for them to realize just how many people didn't care and didn't vote.
As a younger voter, I took that mandate seriously. I voted in the first election I could, some school board election that I knew nothing about, and I continue to feel guilty whenever I miss a chance to vote. As my justice work has turned increasingly political, I actually feel like a fraud if I don't vote. How can I demand changes to a system that I fail to engage with in the most basic way? And yes, I vote even when I don't love the candidates. Those of us who can vote have a responsibility towards those who can't.
I've always been politically engaged, and not just about Jewish issues. As a child, I wrote to the Canadian government about the plight of Soviet Jews but I also followed the collapse of the Soviet Union from my Walkman radio at Jewish summer camp. My bunkmates teased me because of how indignant I would get at times about the news from the outside world. I can't help myself from engaging.
But I understand the temptation to withdraw. Younger voters are struggling in the moment—jobs, loans, families, deep uncertainty—and it can be hard to look past the immediate to delve into the root causes. Or we look too far away: I recently entered a conversation among friends about the upcoming Presidential election to discover that none of them knew about the profound effects of a recent Congressional redistricting decision on our town. It was going to require significant political infrastructure to deal with the consequences, a commitment greater than laughing over verbal gaffes in the primaries. But who has the time or the energy?
As an activist, I am also aware of the irony that push to engage younger Jews in Judaism via social justice has been so profoundly apolitical: we can teach kids via service learning but we can't teach them advocacy or mobilize them to meet with their members of Congress.
But each time we have the chance to vote, we can change that dynamic. Voting should be low-hanging fruit: it is local, fast, and not that hard to do.
And it's a privilege. I can't quite call it a mitzvah, but it is a privilege. People around the world are dying for the right to vote. Many people here—immigrants, children, former felons—can't vote either. Decisions are made by those willing to engage. With so much at stake, how can we afford not to?
My parents are citizens now, having finished their naturalization process in the shadow of 9/11. When my dad was sworn-in, we joked that he had lost one of his better sermons. But the message remains.
