Don't Fly In Chinese Nationals, Centre Informally Tells Airlines
Monday, December 28, 2020 by Indian Defence News
NEW DELHI: In a strong retaliatory push, India has asked all airlines informally not to fly Chinese nationals into the country. This comes after China's not-so-subtle move to stop Indians from flying into their country, something that has only tightened since November.
While flights between India and China are currently suspended, Chinese nationals eligible to travel as per current norms for foreigners have been doing so by first flying to a third country with which India has a travel bubble. And from there, they fly to India. In addition, Chinese nationals living in air bubble countries have also been flying to India from there for work and business.
Over the past weekend, airlines — both Indian and foreign — have been specifically asked not to fly Chinese nationals to India. At the moment tourist visas to India remain suspended but foreigners are allowed to travel here on work and some other categories of non-tourist visas. Industry sources say a majority of Chinese nationals flying to India have been coming from air bubble countries in Europe.
Some airlines, it is learned, asked the authorities to give them something in writing so that they can give reason for denying boarding to Chinese nationals booked on flights to India as per current norms.
New Delhi's response comes when Indian seafarers are stranded in various Chinese ports because China is refusing to allow them on shore, or even to change crew. This has affected almost 1,500 Indians serving on international flag merchant vessels as they can't even come back home.
Though the target is Australia, whose coal is now banned by China, Indians seafarers have taken a big collateral hit and Beijing does not seem to be willing to organise immediate relief. Questioned this week, the Chinese foreign ministry lobbed the ball back in the courts of local authorities. But officials say there are no permissions forthcoming from any local authority. The Chinese government has given a list of steps to be followed, but, Indian officials say, they are designed to frustrate efforts.
In early November, China had suspended the entry of foreign nationals holding valid Chinese visas or residence permits from some countries including India due to the pandemic. "The Chinese embassy/consulates in India will not stamp the health declaration forms for the holders of the above-mentioned categories of visa or residence permits," the Chinese embassy in India had said in a statement on its website on November 5, while exempting some categories of visa holders like diplomats.
"The entry into China with visas issued after November 3, 2020 is not affected… suspension is a temporary measurement that China has to adopt to deal with the current pandemic. China will make further adjustment and announcement in accordance with the ongoing pandemic situation in a timely manner," the statement had said.
China's decision had come after almost 20 passengers of an Air India Vande Bharat Mission Delhi-Wuhan flight of October 30 had tested Covid positive and another 40 were found to have Covid antibodies on arrival.
China's special administrative region of Hong Kong suspends airlines for 14 days if five or more passengers on any single flight test positive on arrival. Hong Kong has so far barred AI four times and Vistara once during the pandemic for this reason.

This blog entry will be one of a more personal entry. Today is Mother's Day and I'm at spending the day at home doing some paperwork for the club and preparing food for week two of my nutritional cleanse. Last week I made beef bone broth. This week I'm making my broth with chicken bones. The house smells of good, old-fashioned chicken soup. Chicken soup and Mother's Day…the two seem to go hand-in-hand. Today I'm reminded of my mother who passed on 14 years ago May 10th. The last time I saw my mother alive was on Mother's Day. She died the next day after battling a long illness. Mother's Day is always a tad bittersweet. However, I'm was lucky. I was blessed with an amazing human being whom I had the privilege to call mother.
My mother, like many good mothers, taught me from right and wrong. She taught me to respect myself and others and pressed the great importance of always demonstrating good manners and being polite. She always said that, "…it cost nothing to say please and thank you." The value of these lessons are immeasurable and have been the underpinning of me becoming the man I am today.
Always look at life with the innocence of a child. Like a child, always see the world as a giant playground–endless and breathtaking.
Open your home as generously as you open your heart.
Always share what you have with your friends and family.
Don't save your good or favorite things for a special day. Make everyday special and use the things that you love and bring you joy.
Everyone is beautiful. See the good and beauty in everyone. Take the time to tell them what you see.
Never turn a blind eye to someone who is hungry, tired or lonely.
Money can bring out the worst in people. Never let it control your life. In the end it's just paper.
When you feel surrounded by darkness, always focus on the light. Sometimes the only light may be in your own heart.
Thank you mom. I've learned your lessons well and practice them everyday of my life, and most importantly, I pass them on to the world around me.
I love you. You are missed.

Are All Troll Cases Exceptional?
Posted on January 25, 2017 by bwheelock
In Iris Connex, LLC, v. Dell, Inc., [2:15-cv-1915-JRG] (January 25, 2016), district judge Gilstrap, after granting summary judgment to Dell, awarded attorneys fees, noting Dell's arguments that Iris Connex's claim construction position was unsupportable, that its infringement position was not plausible, that its litigation was primarily settlement driven; and Iris Connex was an intentionally empty shell company and, as a consequence, had no capacity to pay such fees even if the case were ultimately declared to be exceptional.
Judge Gilstrap took the extraordinary step of ordering further discovery into the extended identity of Iris Connex, because the court was concerned that the structure would effectively avoid any deterrence from an award of attorneys fees. In Judge Gilstrap's words "[a]s the post-judgment discovery progressed, it became obvious that Iris Connex was not simply a non-practicing entity seeking to vindicate its patent rights—albeit with an
exceptionally bad infringement case." Judge Gilstrap found that Iris Connex is the first level of two shell corporations which were intended to shield the real actor, Mr. Brian Yates, from personal liability. Judge Gilstrap found that Mr. Yates and those in active concert with him exploited the corporate form to operate largely in secret and to insulate the true party in interest from the risk associated with dubious infringement suits—that risk being fee shifting under Section 285.
Judge Gilstrap made 28 specific findings, including:
Iris Connex has no assets except for the '950 patent and it holds no working capital.
Iris Connex has no employees.
Iris Connex was formed for the sole purpose of enforcing its lone asset.
Iris Connex paid no cash value for the '950 patent.
Iris Connex pays no rent, (and shares its office with 15 to 20 other entities owned directly or indirectly by Brian Yates,
There is no sign for Suite 600-A displayed on any door in the building
identifying Iris Connex as an occupant.
After a detailed analysis of the law, Judge Gilstrap identified a general and uncontroversial principle: that the corporate form cannot be used as a shield to insulate officers and parent corporations against liability for
their own tortious conduct or tortious conduct they control. Judge Gilstrap rejected a narrow view of his authority to award fees under Section 285.
Judge Gilstrap noted said that the case "crossed the Rubicon of exceptionality" when the Court concluded that Iris Connex's case was so weak from the outset that it lacked any real merit. Judge Gilstrap has "its fair share of claim construction arguments" and found that Iris Connex's "clearly stand out."
Moreover Judge Gilstrap's finding of exceptionality was not based solely on the weak merits of the case, or litigation conduct. Judge Gilstrap found two additional factors supported the finding: First, that Mr. Yates made an intentional decision to create and undercapitalize Iris Connex as an empty shell, and second, the admitted sloppiness in prosecuting this case, brought about predominantly by Mr. Yates. Judge Gilstrap found and held Iris Connex and Mr. Yates are jointly and severally liable for $355,000 of fees pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 285.
Not finished dispensing Eastern District of Texas justice, Judge Gilstrap also sanctioned one of the more culpable counsel $25,000, and Mr. Yates an additional $152,000.

Well, here we are, in the sunny dark of winter… that little snowstorm looks to be all the proper weather we're getting this season. It's shaping up to be a record drought year, unless the rain comes soon — time to wash the car, hang some laundry, and break out whatever other rain-charms you know, please!
I also spent some time this year working at the University of California Cooperative Extension, with our local Foothill Farming program. The Extension is an incredible resource for local farmers, and one that we have turned to again and again for advice and information, so it was a great experience to see it from the inside — and an office that regularly hosts mozzarella-making demos, visiting livestock dogs, baby chicks, and recipe-testing is my kind of place!
One of my projects at the Extension was to produce the first in a series of short films about local farmers and their work; we wanted to find a way to share with consumers the story of our food, the work and care that goes into producing it, the history of farming in our region, and the power of that direct connection between farmer and consumer. My assignment was to start with the farm I know best — the B H Ranch! Here's the final product — enjoy this glimpse into What We Do… and keep an eye out for future "Farmer Stories" episodes this year!
And, last but not least, we'd like to send out a giant Thank You! to all the stores, markets, and restaurants that featured our fruit this year. From high school cafeteria to CSA to ice cream parlour, our pears get around!
Thank you all for a spectacular and delicious 2013! Happy New Year!
Hi there! Long time, no blog! It's been a busy summer around here — school tours at the Farm, cooking demos at the State Fair, some exciting news coming soon for the Homestead Radio Hour, and now the getting-ready for farmer's market season — not to mention all the sundry regular business of farming…. so, in celebration of all that is Summer, I thought a visit to our new hedgerow would be a nice way to ease back into the Blogworld!
So, what's a "hedgerow," anyway? The world conjures up bucolic English country lanes, lined with damsons and sloes, the kinds of thorny shrubbery whose obscure fruits inevitably end up in jellies, wines, or gin. All fine and well, but what's it got to do with a sunny California fruit ranch?
Borage, an all-time favourite with the bees, of both the honey and bumble sort!
First, let's start with a bit of background. Simply and broadly put, a hedgerow is a planting of shrubs, trees, and/or herbaceous plants, for a reason. They're typically dense, hence the "hedge," in a linear layout, the "row," and serve a purpose other than decoration or simple food production. In fact, hedgerows of any description play multiple roles: sure, they're attractive, and can include plantings of edible and useful shrubs and plants, but their utility goes beyond mere ornamentation.

Ben uses もし and そうなると to indicate that he is hypothesising.
Note the sentence ぼくはラグビーをしていても. To be more accurate, Ben should have completed it with いるが.
Ben writes たいへんだし、けんこうによくないと思う, saying that such busyness is not easy on families. While it would have been more correct to say 生徒もいそがしいし、かぞくもたいへんだと思う, Ben still manages to communicate his ideas.
While he does not directly explore the views of others in this text, these views can be taken as implicit, given the considerable public discussion on the subject. Ben's text prompts readers to consider what their own views might be.
He uses そうなると、ので、と思う and emotive language such as さんせいできない to express his views.
なぜなら, もし, そうなると to explain and extend ideas and to sustain the text.
Relative clauses and joining verbs are also used to extend the text, for example, through the use of し.
Ben uses the acronym NCEA assuming that his readers will understand its meaning.
He also uses the expression 'Rugby World Cup' in his text, writing it in katakana (ラグビーワールドカップ) to indicate that it is foreign. The expression is translated into different languages in different ways; here it is a direct borrowing.

Sleeping less than six hours a night may boost risk of cardiovascular disease, says study

We often do healthy things with our eyes wide open, but some behaviors we think are healthy could be hurting our sleep. Buzz60
Sleeping less than six hours every night could increase your risk of cardiovascular disease, said a study.
The study focused on 4,000 people with no known history of heart disease. Their average age was 46, and two-thirds of participants were men.
Participants wore an actigraph, a tool used to measure activity, for seven days to study their sleep. They also had 3D heart ultrasound and cardiac CT scans performed to look for heart disease.
Results of the study published Tuesday in the peer-reviewed Journal of the American College of Cardiology showed people who slept fewer than six hours a night were 27 percent more likely to develop atherosclerosis – a buildup of plaque in the body's arteries – compared to those who got between seven and eight hours of sleep.
"This study emphasizes we have to include sleep as one of the weapons we use to fight heart disease – a factor we are compromising every day," said senior study author José M. Ordovás, a researcher at Madrid's Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (CNIC), in a statement.
The quality of sleep matters, too, said the study. Participants with a poor quality of sleep were 34 percent more likely to develop atherosclerosis than those who had a good night's rest.

This is not the first study to suggest poor sleep or a lack of sleep could hurt your body. Three studies presented at the annual meeting of the European Society of Cardiology last September found getting between six to eight hours of sleep a night could lower the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Meanwhile, a study published in April suggests when you go to bed is important. The joint study by researchers at Northwestern University and the University of Surrey in the United Kingdom found people who stayed up later had a higher mortality rate than those who go to sleep early.

Pork politics key to Bruno reign
JAMES M. ODATO Capitol bureau
Published 1:00 am EST, Friday, November 20, 2009
Ex-state Sen. Joseph Bruno at the Federal Courthouse in Albany during his 2009 trial. (Paul Buckowski/Times Union) (
ALBANY -- Under Senate Majority Leader Joseph L. Bruno's rule, $85 million a year in discretionary funds known as member items were doled out by senators with political considerations in mind, a high-level Senate aide said Thursday under oath in Bruno's federal criminal trial.
The revelation came as no shock to lawmakers or state budget watchdogs who long suspected such motivations were behind who got what in grants to hand out in their districts. But the jury in the Bruno fraud trial found out from veteran finance official David Natoli something few people have ever heard out loud -- why some senators had such robust portions of pork compared to relatively paltry sums provided others.
"Sen. Bruno decided the allocation," Natoli said about the nearly 14 year reign of Bruno. He said about $8 million would be provided to the Democratic minority, no matter if the Democrats fielded 25 or 30 senators, to split up.
The average Republican senator, Natoli said, would get $2 million "with adjustments for seniority."
"Politically marginal members" would also get a bump above the standard, Natoli said, explaining such senators would be Republicans with a difficult re-election expected. With what was left over, some $4 million to $7 million depending on the election cycle, Bruno would add to his already ample pot, said Natoli, a veteran of three majority leaders.
The member item money for the Senate came from a bigger pot of $200 million typically in the state budget with $85 million for the Assembly to split up, where Democrats are in the majority and keep the lion's share, and $30 million for the governor. Gov. David Paterson has broken from the tradition and declined to budget member items funds for himself.
The Bruno jury heard member items described by Natoli under direct examination by Assistant U.S. Attorney William C. Pericak. The prosecutor sought to build testimony about Bruno's grants to a for-profit company in Troy called Evident Technologies, whose principals have paid Bruno tens of thousands of dollars a year for consulting services to other companies they ran.
The Evident principals, Jared Abbruzzese and Wayne Barr, also co-owned thoroughbred horses with the former Brunswick Republican leader. Natoli said member item money usually went to groups, unlike Evident, that were not-for-profits.
Bruno's trial involves his allegedly illegal concealment of his business arrangements from the public. Natoli's computer spreadsheets were made evidence in the trial and showed how he tracked Bruno's grants.
They included $65,000 to Teamsters Local 294 in 2002 and $200,000 for a hazardous material program for unions including Laborers' Local 190 in 2000. Bruno had introduced leaders of the pension plans of the two Albany-based locals to investment firms paying him to solicit union business.
"For many, many years we have talked about the misuses of member items -- the inequity of member items, the non-transparency of member items and the political motive of member items, " said Barbara Bartoletti, legislative director for the League of Women Voters.
"To have someone come out and say that this is indeed the case shows this is political walking around money that members in the majority get to keep their majority and minority members don't get and it's a nefarious political plan to keep incumbents in office."
She said the issue became one of many focused on during the coup this summer that threw leadership in the Senate into chaos as members complained publicly about inequities. Senate Democratic Conference Leader John Sampson, D-Brooklyn, responded to Natoli's testimony this way: "There is no level of surprise. My issue has always been we represent the same number of constituents so why should any constituent be short-changed of member items which is their tax dollars?"
He said now that the Democrats control the member item pot, he will work toward "a level of equality." He said he recalls getting just $100,000 in member items allocated for his district his first year in the Senate, 1996, while Republican colleagues had pots of $2.5 million. Last year, when Republicans still controlled the spigot, his total was $250,000, he said. Natoli learned the inequities of the spoils system directly.
A year ago, when he was working for the Republican majority, his annual salary was $125,341. Since the Democrats took control of the Senate this year, Natoli still works for the GOP, whose allocation for staff salaries is well below the level available for Democratic staff, but his pay fell to $85,232.

Literary studies: plays and playwrights
I thought you would find this interesting: Sophocles: Electra March, Jennifer R. Aris & Phillips Classical Texts (2001)
FormatHardback
King Agamemnon is long dead and his murderers rule at Argos. His son Orestes returns from exile to kill themuhis own mother Clytemnestra and her seducer Aegisthus. Thus he will release his sister Electra from oppression and reclaim his home and kingdom. This is the only episode from Greek legend treated in surviving plays by all three of the great Athenian tragedians of the fifth century B.C.uAeschylus in his Libation-bearers (part of the Oresteia trilogy), Sophocles and Euripides each in plays called Electra. Together these plays give us a unique opportunity to compare and contrast the very different treatments by the three playwrights of a central Greek legend. In SophoclesÆ hands the focus of the play is on Electra herself: her endurance and loyalty to the dead Agamemnon while oppressed and persecuted by Clytemnestra and Aegistus; her intense grief when she believes Orestes dead; her equally intense joy when she discovers him actually at her side; her final deliverance through his triumphant execution of vengeance on the murderers. But is there more to the play than this story of triumphant revenge and restorations? The introduction of this book includes a survey of the main interpretative issues, as well as a summary of other treatments of the myth and a discussion of the problematic question of dating. The commentary, which is based on the translation, elucidates the action.
this is a splendid edition, a good read for anyone interested in the play and a good text for students at any level.'

GCHQ 'Have Form' When it Comes to Snooping on Ireland
NEWS FROM THE CELTIC LEAGUE
Documents released by the 'whistleblower' Edward Snowden in late November 2014 revealed that the UK spy facility at GCHQ was targeting undersea cable communications between Ireland and the United Kingdom.
As is usual when such revelations emerge the Irish government (i.e. its Departments of Justice and Communications) wanted to say as little as possible about the issue.
However, was anyone really surprised by the 'revelations' as the UK 'has form' in relation to this kind of 'crime' (because that's what it is).
In the late 1980s and for well over a decade the British used a facility at Capenhurst in Cheshire ('the Capenhurst Tower) to tap into microwave traffic between Ireland and the UK. Fair game you might say in 'the war against terrorism' however it turned out that not just anti-terrorist information was being sought but just about any information of an economic, political and personal nature was being 'trawled up' by the spooks at GCHQ.
The Microwave link from Dame Court (Dublin) to Holyhead in Wales passed on via Llandona and Prestatyn (Gwaenysgor) to Pale Heights in Cheshire. The Capenhurst intercept tower was constructed almost equidistant between the last two legs, Gwaenysgor – Pale Heights, of the link and gathered every item of communications from what was effectively the main microwave communication system between the two countries.
You have to hand it to the British spooks they are 'cheeky buggers'. Because as the Celtic League had revealed almost a decade earlier (as part of our military monitoring) the same route that they later bugged was used for many years by their own military forces drafted into the North of Ireland in huge numbers in the 1970s.
Communications were vital for the Army and Intelligence Services but unfortunately the main Microwave link from Ireland in that period had to go through the 26 Counties (there was a link to Enoch Hill in SW Scotland but this did not have huge capacity).
So from the mid seventies until the late eighties encrypted messages were sent South from links at Ballygomartin, Standing Stones Hill to Deadmans Hill then across the six counties border and on to Mt Oriel, Cappagh and Dame Court thence across to Holyhead.
The Dublin government knew this British military and intelligence communications traffic was going through the Republic but did nothing and of course they were paid!
Once news of the matter had leaked the British stepped up plans for a more 'secure' link via 'British' territory and the microwave link from Dalton in Cumbria to Creg ny baa on the east of the Isle of Man was extended to Carnagrie (IOM west coast) and on to Bishops Court in Co Down and Ballygomartin. (The Celtic League Mannin branch launched a planning appeal against the Carnagrie transmitter but nothing stops the spooks!).
So don't expect the Dublin government to get to animated about the Snowden revelations as we have revealed the British 'have form' on this type of snooping and the Dublin government 'have form' on letting them abuse Irish communications facilities!

Storing gas power tools for an extended period of time it's important for making sure your tools are ready to go the following season. If you won't be using your chainsaw over the winter, follow these steps to properly winterize your chainsaw.
There are a couple ways you can empty your fuel tank. Most fuel today has a short shelf like because it contains ethanol. Some high quality, high octane fuels or fuels treated with a treatment such as Star Tron Enzyme Treatment can be stored safely for up to 2 years, but generally speaking, you will want to remove the fuel both for safety reasons and because fuel can thicken over time, doing damage to your carburetor.
Remove the fuel from your tank and add a small amount of high grade, ethanol free fuel, or fuel that has been treated with a fuel stabilizer back into your tank. Start the chainsaw 10 feet from where you were removing and adding fuel, and let it run until the engine stops.
What's better than firing up a freshly cleaned chainsaw next season? Cleaning your chainsaw and all its components might not be entirely necessary, but it will ensure that your saw is ready to go next season. At the very least you will want to remove the bar and chain and wipe them down to prevent any rusting or corrosion. You will also want to wipe the bar and chain down with WD-40 or another rust preventing oil. Check out our chainsaw cleaning guide for more tips on getting your saw in top shape.
Storing your saw in a dry place is crucial to keeping all of the components corrosion free. In addition to keeping moisture away from your saw, you don't want any dust or debris building up on your chainsaw throughout storage. If your chainsaw came with a case, store it in the case or find a relatively air tight container to put the saw in that will keep dust out.
If you follow these steps, by the time next season rolls around, your chainsaw will be ready to go!

Roxy-Pacific to buy Dragon Mansion in en bloc deal
Thread: Roxy-Pacific to buy Dragon Mansion in en bloc deal
This year's first en bloc sale hits the market
Owners of 72-unit freehold property on Spottiswoode Park Road are hoping for $120m
By UMA SHANKARI
(SINGAPORE) Dragon Mansion on Spottiswoode Park Road has been put up for collective sale - the first development to be launched for en bloc sale this year.
The owners are hoping for $120 million - or $1,020 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr) - for the freehold project, including a development charge of about $400,000.
The en bloc market here has shown little sign of life since the onslaught of the global economic crisis. A total of 116 collective sales were completed at the height of the property boom in 2007, but the figure fell sharply to just eight last year. And no sites have been bought en bloc since the start of the year.
Analysts said that the owners of the 72-unit Dragon Mansion could have chosen to market their property now to ride on the current upswing in sentiment in the residential market.
'As the outlook for the residential property market improves, land values will rise and sellers might find it viable to sell collectively to get a premium for their properties,' said Karamjit Singh, managing director of Credo Real Estate.
If the sale of Dragon Mansion goes through, it will be the first property to be sold en bloc in 2009. However, market watchers said that the asking price is steep.
For comparison, said one market watcher, one can look at the June 2007 collective sale of nearby Oakswood Heights on Spottiswoode Park Road at the peak of the property boom. Then, UOL paid $132 million for the 63,700-sq-ft freehold site, which worked out to $740 per psf ppr.
Dragon Mansion has a land area of 41,874 sq ft and is designated for residential use with a plot ratio of 2.8. The new development could potentially yield a maximum gross floor area of 117,000 sq ft, which translates to an estimated 120 units of 1,000 sq ft each, said CKS Property Consultants, which is marketing the property.
Consent has been obtained from more than 80 per cent of the owners to proceed with the sale. The asking price is based on the 'limited availability of such freehold residential land near the central business district'.
More projects could be launched for collective sale in the rest of the year, analysts said.
Credo's Mr Singh said that owners of some projects are now checking to see if it is the right time to launch a collective sale: 'They don't want to start too early. They are hoping to time it right.'
En bloc transactions may return in a significant fashion when the unsold supply pipeline falls, said Credit Suisse in a June 19 note. This comes about as developers deplete their existing land banks and need to replenish them.
'On a current run rate of 1,200 developer units sold per month, land bank replenishment may happen in the next three months,' said Credit Suisse property analyst Tricia Song.
In 2006 and 2007, demolitions created an artificial vacuum in supply due to 'en bloc fever', resulting in a steep hike in rents and prices amid a population boom. In addition, owners of older properties with higher redevelopment density ratios get more on a per unit space basis, creating a wealth effect in the property market.
However, the caveat emptor this time could be oversupply of prime housing from previous years. Nevertheless, the trend bodes well for land prices and real estate owners, Ms Song added.

$120m target for first en bloc site this year
This would mean $1.7m each for the 72 unit owners of freehold site
By Joyce Teo, Property Correspondent
Dragon Mansion, near Outram and Tanjong Pagar, is the first en bloc launch in Singapore in about nine months. The estate can be redeveloped into about 120 apartments. -- BT FILE PHOTO
PROPERTY market observers are probably rubbing their eyes in disbelief but it is true: an en bloc sale is under way at asking prices akin to boom times.
It is the first tender in about nine months and reflects improved buyer sentiment although the sale launched yesterday will certainly test that sentiment, given the price levels it is shooting for.
The freehold Dragon Mansion at 18 Spottiswoode Park Road, near Outram and Tanjong Pagar, has an asking price of about $120 million or $1,020 per sq ft per plot ratio. This is significantly higher than the transacted enbloc sale prices in the area during the 2007 boom. If this price is achieved, the estate's owners will get around $1.7 million for each of the 72 units.
The estate has a land area of 41,874 sq ft and can be redeveloped into about 120 apartments of 1,000 sq ft in size.
Dragon Mansion owners had wanted to sell collectively at the height of the boom in mid-2007 but their attempt was delayed when collective sale rules were tightened later that year. They had to restart the process at the beginning of last year but they also revised up their price.
In the Spottiswoode Park area, developer UOL bought the 92-unit Spottiswoode Apartment en bloc for $79.5 million or $732 per sq ft per plot ratio in April 2007 - a price that was above earlier indicative sale levels. It later bought Oakswood Heights for $132 million or $740 psf per plot ratio.
Property experts said the Dragon Mansion price target of some $1,020 per sq ft is more suitable to the boom times.
Mr Nicholas Mak said the market is not ready to support such prices as the buyer will have to sell the redeveloped units at more than $1,800 psf.
'There is still a disparity between today's land levels and the price in 2007 when most of the en bloc sales were priced,' said Credo Real Estate managing director Karamjit Singh.
'Owners will need to adjust their price expectations. The market is looking up but it's still a question mark whether land prices will go back to boom time levels,' he said.
Owners at Laguna Park in the east have high expectations as well and Credo Real Estate might launch the estate for collective sale next month.
The asking price is at $1.2 billion. The development obtained the 80 per cent approval from owners late last year but the price they are hoping for was decided back in late 2007.
Credo will launch other en bloc sites this year if the estates can obtain the 80 per cent approval soon, Mr Singh said.
En bloc deals shot through the roof in 2007 when 111 transactions worth a record $12.4 billion were sealed but sales fell through the floor last year with only seven sales worth $371 million done, according to CB Richard Ellis.
Ms Chia Mein Mein, manager for investment at CKS Property Consultants, said Dragon Mansion obtained the required 80 per cent approval to sell early this year but it waited for a good time.
'It's because of the run-up in property prices recently. Recent launches are doing very well. Some developers have sold off their existing stock and are looking to land bank at this point,' she said.
'We think there's a window of opportunity now as we really don't know how long this rally is going to last.'
Meanwhile, new unit sales remain robust. There has been a flurry of project releases and demand has been strong. The 272-unit Sophia Residence in the Mount Sophia enclave sold nearly 85 per cent of 88 units released at a weekend preview at $1,500 psf on average.
Singaporeans accounted for 60 per cent of the buyers, with the rest being permanent residents and foreigners.
These buyers included the previous owners of Sophia Court, who sold the site en bloc to developer GuocoLand.
Tender for collective sale of Dragon Mansion launched
http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stori...442249/1/.html
By May Wong, Channel NewsAsia | Posted: 14 July 2009 1557 hrs
SINGAPORE: The tender for the collective sale of Dragon Mansion has been launched, the first such sale this year.
The property is located at 18 Spottiswoode Park Road.
In a statement, CKS Property Consultants said it has obtained consent from more than 80 per cent of the owners to proceed with the sale.
The collective sale is expected to achieve in excess of S$120 million or S$1,020 per square foot per plot ratio. This includes the development charge of about S$400,000.
The redevelopment site has a land area of about 42,000 square feet and it is designated for residential use with a plot ratio of 2.8.
CKS Property Consultants said the new development could potentially build up to 36 storeys, accommodating some 120 units of 1,000-square foot apartments.

Yes! Finally, Dragon Mansion has done what no other has done this year - a successful en bloc! Since the tender was announced way back in July 2009 there have been few takers, but now this small District 2 condo along Spottiswoode Park Road has breathed hot fire into the en bloc market!
RL Developments, a unit of Roxy-Pacific Holdings (the people who own Grand Mecure Roxy Hotel and developed Balestier's Nova 48 and Nova 88), has shelled out about $100.8m for the condo. Sadly for the owners, it was much less than the $120m they were asking for. But still, under the circumstances, at least they managed to sell the place!
$100.8m for 117,247 sqft of potential residential space works out to $860 psf ppr.
<$100.8m for 117,247 sqft of potential residential space works out to $860 psf ppr.>
Not too bad for a FH piece of land ... Roxy sure knows how to bargain (maybe the unidentified local buyer not matching Laguna's reserved price trying to do similar twisting).
echotrain
It is a win-win situation at this price.

not all dragon mansioners are happy ...
cos there are 2 Dragon mansions ... only one was enbloc ..
Dont understand.. got 2 dragon mansions ??

So which of the 2 Dragon Mansions is the one that was put out for sale? Was the offered price for the Dragon Mansion that want to sell?
This is so interesting and confusing, haha..
Hi SL, welc back to this thread ... still need to count down to the "official" success for this enbloc
Thought there is only one dragon mansion? Unless it's another dragon something ... ....
ROXY-PACIFIC Holdings has signed an agreement to buy Dragon Mansion for $100.8 million via a collective sale - some 16 per cent below the owners' previous asking price of $120 million when the property was first put up for sale in July.
However, the deal is conditional upon obtaining agreement from an 80 per cent majority of the owners on the purchase price. BT understands that a fresh round of agreements have to be obtained as the price offered by Roxy-Pacific is below the owners' reserve price in the collective sale agreement.
When the tender for the collective sale of Dragon Mansion was launched in July, it marked the first collective sale offering of the year. If Roxy-Pacific buys the freehold site for $100.8 million, it will be paying $863 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr) including an estimated development charge of about $400,000. The owners' original asking price, on the other hand, translated to about $1,020 psf ppr including the development charge.
The site has a land area of about 42,000 sq ft and it is designated for residential use with a plot ratio of 2.8.
Roxy-Pacific chief executive Teo Hong Lim said that the company inked the deal to buy the site as he 'found the price reasonable'.
The developer, which was listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) in 2008, is looking to replenish its land bank after launching a number of projects over the past year. It recently acquired two freehold sites - one at Joo Chiat Place and the other at Tembeling Road. Said Mr Teo: 'We are constantly on the lookout for new sites, but the price and location have to be right.'
The company took part in recent government tenders for the sale of state land, but it was 'too competitive', Mr Teo said. Recent tenders for government residential land sites have drawn 12-15 bids each.
The acquisition will be fully funded through proceeds from the company's initial public offering (IPO), internal funds and/or bank borrowings, Roxy-Pacific said in a statement. The acquisition is not expected to have any material effect on the net tangible assets per share or earnings per share of the company for the current financial year.
Dragon Mansion en bloc sale sees lower offer
October 21, 2009 Wednesday
Roxy-Pacific's $101m offer is below the $120m that owners are asking
By Joyce Teo
THE first significant collective sale in Singapore this year is on the cards - if the condominium's owners will agree to a price that is lower than what they are hoping to achieve.
Boutique developer Roxy-Pacific has agreed to acquire a site at Spottiswoode Park, but at a price that is below the estate's original reserve price.
In an announcement to the Singapore Exchange yesterday, the developer said it has offered to buy the freehold condominium site of Dragon Mansion for $100.8 million, or $860 per sq ft (psf) per plot ratio.
The asking price for the site, with land of about 3,890 sq m and a maximum plot ratio of 2.8, is $120 million, or $1,020 psf per plot ratio. As the price is below the reserve, a fresh set of signatures is needed, so the deal is subject to obtaining the consent of at least 80 per cent of the owners. After that, a sale order from the Strata Titles Board may be necessary, said a Roxy-Pacific statement.
When Dragon Mansion became the first en bloc site to be launched for sale in July this year, market watchers said the asking price was more suitable to the boom times.
They said developers might not be prepared yet to pay at that level. The price of $1,020 psf per plot ratio is significantly higher than the transacted collective sale prices in the area during the 2007 boom.
Even at $860 psf per plot ratio, it is still above the area's boom-time prices, said Ngee Ann Polytechnic lecturer Nicholas Mak. The break-even price is about $1,300 to $1,400 psf, he added.
Yesterday, CKS Property Consultants, the site's marketing agent, would only say it was working towards closing the deal.
A few collective sale sites have been launched since Dragon Mansion came on the market, but there have been no sales yet. Last week, the collective sale tender for the 528-unit Laguna Park closed unsuccessfully. It had two offers, but neither bore fruit. Its reserve price of $1.2 billion works out to $844 psf per plot ratio.
Roxy-Pacific said the purchase would be fully funded through its initial public offering proceeds, internal funds and/or bank borrowings.
Its managing director Chris Teo said the company needs to replenish its landbank. If Roxy-Pacific manages to close a deal, Dragon Mansion will be its third land site. The other two sites were acquired just last month. One is a 910.8 sq m freehold site in Tembeling Road, while the other is a freehold site of 1,055.5 sq m in Joo Chiat Place.
Andrewz
so which dragon mansion is it?
is it 14, spottiswoode park road or 16 spottiswoode park road?
Dragon Mansion sold for $100.8 million
Dragon Mansion at 18 Spottiswoode Park Road has been sold to Roxy-Pacific Holdings Limited's wholly-owned subsidiary, RL Developments Private Limited, for $100.8 million or $863 psf ppr (inclusive of development charge).
This is the first collective sale site sold this year.
Roxy-Pacific had in Oct 2009 entered into an agreement to acquire the collective sale site at $100.8 million, conditional upon the obtaining of the agreement by 80% majority of the owners to the sale price.
The said 80% majority agreement has now been obtained, said CKS Property Consultants, which brokered the sale.

SINGAPORE: Dragon Mansion at 18 Spottiswoode Park Road has become the first successful en bloc sale in Singapore this year.
The property was sold to a unit of Roxy-Pacific Holdings for S$100.8m including the development charge. That translates to about S$863 per square foot per plot ratio.
CKS Property Consultants launched a tender for the site in July, after it obtained consent from more than 80 per cent of the owners to proceed with the sale.
The collective sale is subject to approval from the Strata Titles Board. Each owner of the 72 units of 3-bedroom apartments is expected to receive S$1.4m in sale proceeds.
The freehold site has a land area of about 42,000 square feet and is designated for residential use with a plot ratio of 2.8. CKS Property Consultants said the new development could potentially accommodate some 120 units of 1,000-square-foot apartments.
The brokers said the sale price sets a new benchmark for the Spottiswoode Park area, and reflects the limited availability of such freehold residential land near the Central Business District.
CKS Property Consultants is also the marketing agent for Mayfair Gardens in the prime Bukit Timah area. It said consent has already been obtained from more than 80 per cent of the owners to proceed with the sale and the collective sale tender will be launched soon.

While visiting some friends in Denver, we climbed from the Guanella Pass Trailhead to the summit and back. Stopped for Beau Joe's in Idaho Springs on the way back. What a day!
Had a long layover in Denver, spent the morning on Bierstadt!
Nice hike to summit before noon on a beautiful cool and clear July day. In order to get a early start, the night before I slept in the back of my Prius a few miles below the trail head at the Clear Lake campground.
Decent hike, lots of people and if you can curl 5 lbs, drink water, add 2 and 2, dress yourself and sing the first line of Happy Birthday you can tag the summit of this mountain made out of a stack of rocks.
Arrived in Denver for a work trip with an afternoon to spare. Rented a car and arrived at Guanella Pass trail head around 4 pm. The weather was good, so I headed up. 2:38 round trip.
Bagged Bierstadt from the Guanella Pass trailhead. Beautiful day without a cloud in the sky. Approximately four hours round trip. The trail was busy but manageable. Great to say I have a fourteener under my belt!
Second fourteener, on a weekend lots of people it was fun.
I, Jared, have endured the atrocities of the swamp trail or whatever you want to call it on the way back to Guanella Pass from Evans. I almost wish I would've resummited Bierstadt to avoid that. Unavoidable sticky mud under muddy puddles await those that veer off the main route. It was raining and was the first time I felt hypothermia setting in above 32 degrees. Learn from my mistakes, please.
Needed to get back at altitude.
From Guanella Pass TH left at 3:20 / Down by 9:15. Enjoyable well groomed trail.
Either in winter with tons of snow, or later in summer with none would be better.
Left Guanella Pass Campground around 7:30am. The road is closed for winter from the campground to the trailhead (adding about 2 miles each way). The snow was hard packed so no snowshoes necessary - we just bare booted the whole way to the summit. Didn't bring an axe or other traction. Took us 3 hours to ascend - 5.5 hours total. We had to navigate through a storm on the way down and got a little sidetracked. Lucky enough to have clear skies when we summited though!

There are bad things out there but they don't stop us.
This advert by insurance provider Allstate is rather cute. It has a simple message and a really beautiful voice over by a child. There are bad things in life, but rather than avoid them, people every day go about living their lives and enjoying them rather than being fearful. Accidents do happen. Be prepared but don't stop what you are doing. This ad is like a little bit of therapy isn't it?
Using a child VO I think is clever. We automatically listen to what kids have to say. We are ready to be charmed.
Nice work Leo Burnett Chicago.

REVIEW: "RICHARD JEWELL" (2019) Warner Bros.
Follow peggyatthemovies on WordPress.com
The title of this film "RICHARD JEWELL" is our subject matter as well. Jewell is a security guard who was hailed as a hero for finding a pipe bomb and thus preventing a bigger tragedy in 1996 during the time of the Atlanta Olympics. The film focuses on the events of the bombing itself and what takes place in the life of Richard Jewell post-bombing.
Imagine being falsely accused of a terrorist act that killed and injured people. Imagine that you are the FBI's primary suspect. Imagine your name and face are spread across every possible media outlet. Imagine your belongings have been searched and seized as evidence – right down to your mom's underwear. Lastly, imagine all of this occurs mere days after your actions actually saved lives and you were hailed as a hero across all of those same media outlets. Well that imaginary man is actually Richard Jewell (Paul Walter Hauser), a humble but rather over-zealous security guard whom yes, imagines himself a law enforcement officer as he never fails to tell us.
We first meet Richard as a supply clerk at a law firm in 1986. His awkward ways and surprising efficiency catches the eye of attorney Watson Bryant (Sam Rockwell), a quasi-connection that comes into play a big part in both of their lives a decade later. We then jump ahead 10 years to find Richard being fired from his campus security job at a college due to not only his odd behaviour, but his escalating over-zealous focus on following protocol to a point of pulling people over off-campus as a police officer would. Fortunately for Richard, the Olympics are coming to Atlanta, so finding work as a security guard is pretty easy.
Pan to Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Park. Crowds of people are dancing at a Kenny Rogers concert and two days later we have Sly & The Family Stone and people dancing the Macarena. As one of the on-site security guards, Richard spots a suspicious backpack that turns out to be holding the pipe bomb that detonates minutes later, creating turmoil and tragedy at the site. In hindsight we see that thanks to Richard, it wasn't worse and as the viewing audience, we know that Richard's actions saved lives and he definitely is not responsible for planting the bomb. And it's because of knowing this, that we have the feeling of being in Richard's shoes – thanks in part because of the Oscar-worthy performance here by Hauser as well. Every time we hear Richard say "I'm law enforcement too", it's heart-breaking to us and gives an opening for the FBI to try and manipulate him. The scenario of a single white male living at home with his mom, carrying his gung-ho dreams of a career in law enforcement while collecting guns, knowledge on bombs and police procedure, makes Richard Jewell the perfect patsy.
Two key supporting roles come courtesy of Oscar winner Kathy Bates as Richard's mother Bobi, and Nina Arianda as Bryant's paralegal Nadya. Bates starts out as a loving and simple mother to Richard, but her press conference captures the character in a new light. It's a strong and heartfelt performance. Arianda on the other hand, brings some warmth sprinkled with welcome sarcasm to her role. Once again, Hauser is spot-on in every scene, and when the four are all together, it's a pleasure to watch. Hauser and Rockwell are especially good in their scenes together as the 'wronged man' contrast with the take-no-bull attorney and somehow actually gives a touch a humour in this otherwise not so humourous story.
With Jon Hamm having perfected the role of the cocksure agent-man and this one being no different as he plays FBI Agent Tom Shaw, the man totally focused on proving Richard Jewell was the perpetrator. The depiction of Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Kathy Scruggs (Olivia Wilde) is a bit curious, being that the uproar is over what some interpret as a reporter trading intimate relations for a scoop, yet the contempt here seems focused more on the idea of trying this case in the public eye while lacking any real evidence outside of a profile. Perhaps the viewer reaction to this is just a sign of the times we are now in.
Leading me into the fact that with four-time Oscar winner Clint Eastwood directing yet another story of a working-class hero, or essentially as he would like us all to see it. While the film deserves to be commended, the story being true as it is, as well as the wonderful performances by the entire cast, it was not lost on me on or many I saw the film with-of the political propaganda side of this film in the times facing us in our present situation. Staunch Republican that he is, Mr. Eastwood was sure to make note at what could be construed to believe to be perfect timing of the fact of the FBI made a huge error is their assessment of Richard Jewell and as such are not to be trusted. Same point being made with the media – aka 'fake media'. Perfect timing Mr. Eastwood for more political rhetoric to keep in tune with the division of this country. Taking the hero story to the next level as we all know human beings make mistakes – and while there is cause to find total fault with the mishandling of this case, it goes without saying that they are not always wrong. No one would want to find themselves in Richard Jewell's shoes, hence this story does deserve to be told even if it feels like a two-headed coin spin by Eastwood here.
Both Richard Jewell and Kathy Scruggs have passed, him in 2007, her in 2001, so we will never know their take on all this today.

REVIEW: "BOOKSMART" (2019) Annapurna Pictures
Every decade comes with its own teen movies. 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High', 'Clueless', 'Superbad' or any and all of John Hughes films can be par for the course of this genre. Most are fun and years later you can give them a watch as a reminder of fun moments in life.
"BOOKSMART" might be another one that some will no doubt, add to their list. Early word of mouth was mostly positive so going in early also and fully expecting to enjoy it, I was dismayed when the film was making "Funny, huh? Wasn't that funny?!?" noises despite nothing particularly funny happening. Olivia Wilde gets points here though, for making a very colorful and energetic movie that might indeed convince a lot of people through sheer high spirits that it's a great comedy. But instead it felt just strenuous to me, trying too hard to cover the fact that the funny, clever, witty material you found in all those John Hughes films, wasn't actually there.
The premise is while some might find ridiculous, can actually happen. Two bookworm protagonists Molly (Beanie Feldstein) & Amy (Kaitlyn Dever), are horrified to discover that after all their sacrifices for the future, all the party-hearty types at their high school ALSO got into Ivy League schools. This would make sense if it took place in a wealthy community where everyone was a "legacy" student thanks for their family's donations. But the movie makes a point of singling out two characters as the only "truly rich" ones here. Those two, Nick (Mason Gooding) & Gigi (Billie Lourd), like every character save the two lead girls, are complete "SNL"-style caricatures. What's worse, they all also seem to be played by actors who are about a decade too old, once again apart from the two lead girls. Add in the trying to be cool character Principal Brown (Jason Sudeikis), who side-lines as a Uber driver role, the crazy girl Triple A (Molly Gordon), who actually is one of the few that brings along the laughs, the poor rich kid with no friends and has to buy them routine character Jared (Skyler Gisondo), and wrap it all up with the lonely oddball teacher Miss Fine (Jessica Williams), (who's name can explain the entire character to you) that ends up at a school party and sleeps with the over-aged 19 yr old senior student Theo (Eduardo Franco) that really is just weird and oh-so-wrong!
Even so, the premise and the casting and everything might have worked if "Booksmart" were an outright farce. But it seems to be aiming to be sorta-kinda "real," while the characters nonetheless behave like no teenagers past or present. Everything here is so over-amped and contrived for effect, yet the ingenious comedy situations and bright lines that approach might have served are nowhere to be found.
While it's can be very lively and somewhat well-crafted movie, it nonetheless felt completely phony and unfunny for the most part. It's not boring, but I have no idea what people who like it are responding to, beyond the fact that its being lauded as the "'Superbad' for high school senior girls" which is probably good enough for many, though it should be aiming for more. You could say it tries for a mix of "Superbad" and John Hughes, but those movies do a much better job turning recognizable teenage life into farce with some heart, and if Wilde intended something similar, on the whole she misses the mark.
'A' for effort, in the 'C+' average range for derivative/uninspired content and it's no brilliantly put together film like last years brilliant 'Eighth Grade' . It's like a student paper with a very splashy cover but nothing original or thoughtful inside.
Grade: C+ @pegsatthemovies

The European Union is failing to respond effectively to the problem of illegal drug use and the spread of 'new psychoactive substances', states an EESC opinion voted on 21 January.
Well-known "old" psychoactive substances include cannabis, cocaine, heroin, ecstasy and morphine. These are controlled – in principle – by Member States under long-standing United Nations conventions. But there are many other unlisted substances often sold to individuals without medical supervision or any form of risk assessment. These are called 'new psychoactive substances' or NPS. More than 300 are already known, and new ones are being identified at a rate of about one a week. Because they are not recognised and have not been evaluated, they are not, technically, illegal. But that does not mean they are safe.
These 'legal highs' are sold to young people as alternatives "hard drugs", often via the internet, and are especially popular in Ireland, Latvia, Poland and the UK. Sadly, they can lead to addiction, serious illness, and in the most tragic cases, death.
"Two of the main obstacles to a coherent and effective response across the EU are a lack of reliable data, and widely varying public and political attitudes in different countries. In addition, the EU has little legal influence over health policy, which is decided by individual Member States. The Commission's proposal is under-resourced and unrealistic compared to what's needed", said David Sears, rapporteur of the EESC opinion "New psychoactive substances".
Drug control is always a highly controversial issue, with attitudes towards best policy developing all the time. Some governments are tending towards a more liberal approach. "They are considering other strategies, recognising that simply banning things doesn't work," says Mr Sears.
Regulating supply is therefore only part of the answer. A better understanding of demand is equally important, and that means working with experts to collect more accurate information on all aspects of NPS use.
"We have got to treat the use of NPS as a social and health problem, not a criminal activity. The last thing we want to do is send more young people to prison, where they learn even worse habits," argues Mr Sears. Criminal sanctions should be limited to dealers looking to profit from the sale of illegal or dangerous substances.
Relative risks also need to be recognised. Alcohol, tobacco and caffeine all meet the psychoactive substance criteria, and in excessive doses the first two certainly cause greater social and health damage than most NPS, and yet they are specifically excluded by EU and UN definitions. "Any response should be proportionate and based on data, not just on winning votes among the general public," Mr Sears insists.

Daniel Cohnitz, Professor of Theoretical Philosophy, Utrecht University.
Conspiracy theorists are typically skeptical about the trustworthiness of central governmental institutions. Some philosophers have argued that, therefore, conspiracy theorists play an important role in modern democracies. Their scepticism may lead to the exposure of actual governmental conspiracies and it strengthens institutions of open societies that control the different branches of government. We argue that this optimism is misplaced. Believe in false conspiracy theories doesn't make one interested in strong controlling institutions. On the contrary, it is not surprising that the conspiracy theorists that voted people like Trump into office don't mind at all when the president questions the very legitimacy of such institutions.
