Technology makes our lives better to the extent we don't have to think about it. Robert Pirsig makes this point in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, and it's still true: technology that draws attention to itself has failed (except to a very hard-core audience of which I am probably part 😉 ).
For the last two years, I have been using Google Chrome to view PDFs at work. Dozens a day, usually with at least five open at a time. For the last two years, every time I have rotated the view clockwise or counterclockwise, my page has shifted off-screen and I have had to scroll to get back to it. Has that stopped me from doing my job? No. Has it drawn undue attention to the underlying technology? Yes. Very yes.
I cannot express my delight at finding, after a recent Chrome update, that I wasn't the only one with this problem — and that it has been fixed! I rotated my PDF and reached for the scrollbar, but then I noticed the underlying technology in a good way: I was still looking at the same page I had been. Now each day is a bit smoother, and my job is a bit easier, because the fix has reduced, rather than increased, my mental workload.
My sincere thanks to everyone involved in pdfium bug 116297. Special thanks to thestig at chromium.org for making the fix! If you read this, thestig, please know you have succeeded.
Note to programmers: sometimes small fixes are big wins. It took thestig two lines of code to save me several minutes of wasted effort per work day, every work day, possibly for the rest of my career. Fix the small things — your users will thank you!

I don't know about you, but I am a cheese and charcuterie board fan. There's just nothing quite as fabulous as pulling together an epic cheese board for some easy entertaining. Everyone likes it and most of it is straight from the grocery store.
I love to grill some sliced ciabatta bread with just a little olive oil, add some plain and sesame water crackers for serving.
I also usually set out some fabulous marinated olives and some type of good mustard to compliment the cheeses and meats.
The cheeses and meats are definitely the best part. Always start with cheeses that you love. I try to always include a few soft kinds of cheese, semi-hard, and hard cheeses. Starting with the soft cheeses I always include a goat cheese (my favorites). I'm completely obsessed with this Haute Goat Fig and Black Pepper cheese. It's sweet and tangy–a perfect goat cheese. I also am really a fan of the Capricho Rosemary Mitica Goat Cheese.
The Fromager d'Affinois Double Cream cow's milk cheese is also a great choice for a soft cheese. This cheese is super light and creamy. If goat cheese isn't your favorite you can substitute it with a brie or creamy blue.
Next, choose a semi-soft cheese. A great choice is this truffled gouda. It's a light cow's milk cheese with the perfect amount of truffle. Perfect with a slice of sopresatta and berries. Again, substitute with what you like. You could use a Gruyere, Swiss, or even a Monterey Jack.
The hard cheeses are next. I love, love, love the Sartori Herb de Provence cheese and the Mimolette Isigny St. Mere. Both are harder cow's milk cheese with rich, distinct flavors. A beautiful addition to any cheese board. Here you could substitute with a Parmesan cheese or some type of Pecorino-Romano.
Lastly, finish up the cheese board with some thinly sliced meats including spicy sopresatta, salami, olive oil marinated Marcona almonds, and dark-chocolate-covered figs. I'm always going for the sweet-spicy-salty combo.

It's been a hectic year for the industry giant, Yggdrasil Gaming. All from the venture into new markets to a new brand partnership deal with Nitro Circus. And we can guarantee that you will read some impressive numbers because of that. So, it's with excitement we have the pleasure to bring you some of the highlights as Q3 has come to an end.
Highlights from the past months
Let's start with a crowd-pleaser, the brand partnership with Nitro Circus! This deal marked the first branded slot ever created by the studio. And with Nitro Circus anticipated success we can only imagine what Yggdrasil can do and the kind of new partners they'll attract!
But that's not all! In fact, during this quarter they managed to release three new games, Penguin City, Hanzo's Dojo, and Wolf Hunters. In addition to being busy with game development, Yggdrasil Gaming has signed 13 more license agreements. Plus, they made an entry into Taiwan with the social gaming operator XSG. But more importantly, two certificates of operation to launch in Spain and the Czech Republic were issued. And the bow that ties everything up was the creation of the UK legal entity.
What the CEO had to say
The fantastic quarter can best find its explanation in the hard work, quality, and deal-making skills the organisation possesses. So, let's hear what the quarter has meant to the revenue, from the CEO's perspective, Fredrik Elmqvist.
"On behalf of the whole team at Yggdrasil, I am pleased to announce yet another eventful quarter. Where end-user activity measured by player rounds reached 1,534 million during the quarter. Representing an uptick of 51% from the same period last year. Revenues for the quarter grew by 62% compared to 2017 to £6.1 Million." He added, "We continued to fully emphasise our expansion focus by making investments for the future, both in the business and into new products."
What to take out of the figures?
Yggdrasil's games a sure gaining in popularity! It's not every operator that can say they've handled over 1.5 million bets in a quarter! Admittedly, these figures are likely to increase for Q4 as the seasonality sees to affect the industry.
What's also impressive is that during this quarter no major technical issues were reported from a games perspective. So, Yggdrasil product is not only excellent, but it's also very stable too. And players are noticing it!

Well…how was everyone's first day of the NEW YEAR? If you have today off….I hope that you enjoy it and I am happy that many are able to have several days off….we all need our batteries re-charged!
I loved and appreciated your comments yesterday and I can clearly see some areas that you would like to see more of….and trust me, I will do my best to help you with these specific needs. One thing that I will say is that one of the new papers in the Occasions Catalog really lends itself to masculine cards…so that is where I will start!
Before we get to this INCREDIBLY SIMPLE card…..we have a winner…..so come on – let's meet those resolutions and DO THAT DANCE….the WOOT-WOOT for stamper Dee 🙂
Way to go and many thanks for popping onto my blog and giving feedback! Happy New Year to you and please email me with your address. It seemed like Sympathy and Masculine are hot topics and I can honestly say that these are the (2) requests that my dear husband asks for. He likes to keep a stash of my cards to send to clients but does not like them to be too frilly!
I will put my hat on and pray to the "creative gods" for inspiration and be back to help! I appreciate and truly love when you share with me ideas that you would like to see ~ I aim to please! 😀
Now let's get to this super sweet, super clean, super easy Valentines Card. It actually does not have to be "Just for Valentines" as sending a "Love You" card is appropriate all year long……have fun changing up colors to give it a different feel!
We have a super sweet Valentines Stamp and Framelits coming out on Wednesday with the new Catalog but I thought…."let me see with what we already have to work with and see if I could come up with a cute card."
Well, I think I did and it is just like I like it….clean & simple! The overall card is a 4 1/4″ square card and the white piece that I used the embossing folder on is a 4″ Square.
The Red Mat is a smidge larger, 4 1/8″ square and you can cut the heart right out of the center. (LOVE THIS when this can happen). I admit, I forget about the Sweet & Sassy Framelits….why???? ~ not sure but the shape of the heart is just stunning!
You know that I adore using fun foam and I used a smaller heart framelit to cut a piece of fun foam to place on the back of the one I heat embossed. I love it that the shape fits it and it is just the perfect lift over the embossed hearts.
REMEMBER….use your embossing buddy before you stamp the versamark – you'll be happy!
Making an envelope is a cinch using the envelope punch board but jot this down…..the size for a 4 1/4″ size is NOT on the measurements so here you go. You need a 7 1/8″ square and then you press and score at 3 5/8″ – and PRESTO – perfect envelope! I have taped these measurements on the bottom of the punch board…as I love this size of card.
I admit, I was happy with the end result of this card mainly because I was able to use a stamp set that I have from the annual catalog and that is it a stamp set that is not specifically for just Valentines. I have used it many times in previups posts and I love the small images in this set ~ they come in handy for "filling in areas" (you all know I love dots)
Have a great day and again, if you are off…..ENJOY the time (maybe you can find some "me time" to stamp!)
I told Daisy that she was a hit….and I gave her some Strawberry Tops for all of you! She was so funny yesterday…she was "chilly" as I forgot to put her in the tack room and when I went to the barn late yesterday afternoon to bring Oscar in…..I heard her making a nasty noise….a noise like I AM MAD AT YOU THAT YOU LEFT ME OUTSIDE….and she had made a nest in Oscars Stall and had a PUFF of shavings all over her!
She was Casper, the PIGGY GHOST!

Mothers all over the world dread hearing their teenager make the comment, "Mum, what's the big deal? All my friends' parents let them." It's a saying that makes all mums cringe every time they hear it.
Before you get into a fight with your teenager, stop and think back to when you were their age. You wanted to be popular. You wanted to do the things your friends did. And you thought your parents were too strict. They're probably thinking the same things you thought then.
It helps if you've had a good relationship with your child prior to the time they reached their teen years. Having established family rules about activities and expectations is also helpful when your child starts pushing the boundaries that have been set. If you already have the boundaries set, it is easier to keep your child within them.
What are some of the family rules you may have already set? Here are some common ones:
Remind your pre-teen or teenager that they are your child and you are ultimately responsible for them. They are still minors and, according to the law, under your protection. This may sound trite, but as long as they live under your protection, they have to live by the pre-established rules.
Take some time to really talk with your teen. Let them explain why they want to do whatever it is their friends are doing. Get all the information you can about the topic before making a decision. In other words, find out all you can so you can make an informed decision based on what you know, not based upon your fears.
After you've talked with your child, see if there's a way that you can compromise. Can your child's friend come to your house where you'll be, rather than going to the friend's house where there will be no adults? Can you drive them to a particular location rather than letting them go with their friend? See if there is a way to give your child some freedom without completely giving in.
Let your child know how important they are to you, how much you love them, and that you only want what's best for them. Sometimes wanting what's best for your child means having to tell them "no" and having them not be happy with you. It's a normal part of being a parent with a child that's growing to adulthood.
"Mum, what's the big deal?" is a question that nearly every mum will hear at one point before their child leaves home. Be prepared by having established rules, compromising where possible, and making sure to keep communication lines open.

One of the surest signs that somebody does not understand anti-Semitism is that he talks about defeating it, destroying it, or otherwise ending it. For many Jews, and anyone else who has had to take note of anti-Semitism, such inflated claims elicit only a dark laugh. Imagining you might end anti-Semitism is like saying you might forever postpone the aging process. An ambition, certainly, but one perpetually condemned to disappointment.
Yet as though to demonstrate their unfamiliarity with the whole concept, this is the language that the Left has begun to adopt when it is forced to tackle this resurgent challenge in its midst. In the United Kingdom it can be heard since Jeremy Corbyn's takeover as party leader of Labour. Corbyn had swum among the most vicious anti-Semites all his campaigning life. But after his election as leader — as member after member, from the party's grassroots to Parliament, got caught in the milieu their leader had lived in — those who still aspired to moral hygiene attempted to make a stand. Corbyn joined them. Like the party members, whenever evidence emerged of yet another anti-Semite in the ranks, he stressed that this demonstrated that "anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and all other forms of racism" must be defeated once and for all.
At one moment of especial panic last year, one of Corbyn's principal cheerleaders even called for the Labour leader to deliver "a definitive speech on anti-Semitism."
Yet of course no definitive speech can be given on anti-Semitism, any more than a definitive piece can be written about it, for the same reason that talk of ending anti-Semitism once and for all is so revealingly ignorant. Anti-Semitism can never be fully explained for the same reason it cannot ever be fully defeated. Because it is a shape-shifter. It is a virus that endlessly mutates, taking advantage of environment, locale, host, events, and more. To survey the number of its ostensible causes is to survey accusations that themselves encompass everything.
At times in their history, Jews have been hated for their religion. In other periods they have been hated for their race. In our own time they are most acceptably attacked for their state. And in the variety of these moves, as well as their multiplicity, we see the ineradicable origins of this evil into which the Democratic party has also begun to sink.
In March, I happened to be in Israel. It was a good vantage point from which to watch Ilhan Omar become the first American politician in generations to be visibly enjoying her Jew-baiting: a shallow person demonstrating a deep problem. Her rejoinder on Twitter about American support for Israel was to write, "It's all about the Benjamins baby." After another similar innuendo, and another insincere apology, Omar was questioned by reporters. "I'm pretty sure that was stated in my statement," she said repeatedly, as she chewed gum and smirked at what she was getting away with.
In our day and age it is no longer acceptable to hate people openly because of their race. Hating people because of their religion has also come to be deemed unacceptable and bigoted. So what route in is the anti-Semite to use to make an acceptably plausible claim against the Jewish people? The best is to reframe ancient hatreds in the guise of modern-day political obsessions, as Omar and others of her generation of Democratic newbies have done. To their way of thinking, Israel is a colonialist, bigoted, racist state. And one that — to boot — is guilty of the generalized modern crime of "punching down." For them, Israel stands out as so obviously evil that it should most properly be compared to apartheid South Africa. In that vein, Representative Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) supports BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanctions) measures against Israel, measures that were taken against South Africa in its apartheid era.
Yet here we are, more than seven decades after the establishment of a Jewish state in the historic homeland of the Jewish nation, and what are Jews found guilty of this time but of not being unrooted? Of having a place. Of being at home. Of not wandering. Some footage of Jeremy Corbyn recently resurfaced from 2013 in which during a speech he remarked that some "Zionists" had not imbibed the British "sense of irony." In fact almost any Jew can see the irony of the situation the Jewish people now find themselves in. It is one familiar from thousands of years of Jewish history: a situation in which they are allowed to make no move for which they will be applauded, only to make another move and be hated in another way.
There is a fine example of this in Gregor von Rezzori's luridly titled masterpiece Memoirs of an Anti-Semite (1979). In "Youth," one of the five stories that make up that magnificent novel, he details a proud young man's relationship with an older Jewish woman. For all the benefits she brings him, this "Black Widow" can never fully win over her young gentile lover. For she is on one hand to him an embodiment of a type of Jewish shop owner of the Central European pre-war stripe, and for this he hates her. Where she goes with him, people know whom he is with and that she is a Jew. He worries about being seen with her and is mortified when people he knows from the rest of his life see them at a restaurant. Yet whenever she attempts to bridge the canyon in any way, to adapt, to integrate into the world of her proud young gentile, she makes another mistake. The only thing worse than a Jew who refuses to integrate is a Jew who makes even the slightest effort to integrate. A Jew who is attempting to integrate looks "suspicious," "artificial," and "unsuitable." Rezzori's narrator reveals that "we saw the so-called assimilated Jew as aping us." To be Jewish is to be different. To try to be the same is to be Jewish. It isn't that the accusations and hate can come from a couple of directions. The problem is that they can always come from every direction imaginable.
Europe has been relearning this lesson. Last year one of the heads of the Jewish community in Berlin warned German Jews not to wear a kippa or other sign of their faith in public in the major German cities. Of course it is not as though Germany has had any deficit of anti-Semites. But the warning struck an icy chord for at least two reasons. The first was surprise that this situation, of Jews being at risk of attack in public places for being identifiably Jewish, had come about so swiftly again in Germany. The second was that everybody knew, though few wanted to say, just what was the cause of this resurgence in threats to Jews. On this occasion the cause was not the neo-Nazi movements that still bubble in the subterranean recesses of that country. The threat came from the fact that Germany has taken in a large number of migrants from Muslim countries in recent decades and that not all of these people viewed Jews with the eyes of most post-Holocaust Germans.
Such shifts are enormously painful for a society to acknowledge. And even in their mildest manifestations, they cause an equal level of discomfort in modern America. Because like Europeans, Americans are very familiar with a number of anti-Semitic types. Not just the remaining anti-Semites of the Klan variety but the anti-Semitism that has lingered in America — as in Europe — among people who would like to think themselves as (in a specific sense of the word) rather "smart." A certain type of country-club set. People who think that looking down on Jews might make people look up at them. It is a type. But we know them by now, and know how to avoid them. Unfortunately this is not the case with the group of people now most permitted to swim in these waters.
There is naturally something profoundly depressing in the fact that the first two Muslim women elected to Congress should be two women so willing to play to the worst crowd of all. But it might have been expected, because a similarly depressing trend occurred in Britain. When David Cameron was the Conservative-party leader, he fast-tracked for promotion a British woman of Pakistani descent who became the first Muslim woman to serve in a British cabinet. Sayeeda Warsi still sits in the House of Lords but no longer sits anywhere near cabinet. That is because during the 2014 war between Israel and Hamas, Warsi believed that the British government should not be remotely close to supporting Israel. She resigned from her position as a Foreign Office minister and has used her energies in the years since to — among other things — urge that British citizens, or dual-passport holders, who serve in the Israel Defense Forces be treated in the same manner in which Britain would treat those who went to fight for ISIS.
If Cameron had fast-tracked a reformist Muslim, or one of the many Muslims who now feature successfully in British political life, this would not have happened. But the first person in held fast to the most predictable priorities. Now the pattern repeats itself with the arrival of Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar in the U.S. Congress. If the first Muslim congresswomen had been not them but a brave Muslim progressive such as Asra Nomani, an American author and scholar born in India, then the message that would have been sent to the American public about the diversity of the Muslim communities and the possibility that the best people would prevail could have been profound. Instead the American public has had to watch as Omar chooses to try to use a bully pulpit to attack, defame, and silence a patriotic American Jew, Elliott Abrams. Did she look like she had the wind in her sails during that period of questioning? Certainly. Did the online chorus who want to be as openly anti-Semitic as possible but are looking for examples of how to do it celebrate? You bet. But to this and her other provocations, America — like Britain and Europe before her — does not know quite how to respond.
The Democrats thought they did. After Omar failed to go another week without releasing another anti-Semitic meme, Nancy Pelosi and colleagues seemed ready to denounce anti-Semitism wherever it occurred. But then the Democrats got caught in the same zugzwang that their European neighbors had struggled with before. If a Muslim attacks a Jew, what are those who are neither Muslims nor Jews to say or do? In particular, how might they condemn the Muslim's anti-Semitism without appearing to be Islamophobic? In this situation it becomes impossible to single out anti-Semitism for specific condemnation. The only way to do it is to condemn, as Corbyn does, "anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and all forms of racism."
And so when Omar — like Warsi across the pond — chose to mull on the theme of Jews and dual loyalty, there was some expression of concern from the Democratic party. But the concern got caught in the moral jam, and sure enough Pelosi and Co. managed to respond to Omar's anti-Semitism only by condemning anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and white supremacy, as though there were any doubt on the last and any agreed-on meaning for the second. When Steve King was accused of flirting with white nationalism nobody had any trouble criticizing that, or felt much need to spread the censure around further or search for semantic excuses. Pelosi herself was reduced to wittering about Omar's perhaps having "a different experience in the use of words" and not understanding "that some of them are fraught with meaning." Which is one way to suggest that a Muslim immigrant such as Omar is not necessarily like other Americans but may be different in ways that Nancy Pelosi would ordinarily refuse to explain.
Still, it is possible that Pelosi is right in one way. Anti-Semitic memes are additionally troubling because people can indeed imbibe and excrete them without apparently realizing it. On the far right and the far left these days, you can witness people jabbering about Rothschilds and financiers and rootless figures and be all but certain that they have no understanding of the historical or present meaning of what they say. But among their number will be others who very distinctly do know what fever swamps they are swimming in. Is Omar ignorant, or clever? Experience so far would suggest that she is clever. One might even say smart. And a certain portion of the Left clearly delighted in her remark that "Israel has hypnotized the world" and in her denunciation of a "push for allegiance to a foreign country."
Of course both they and she will have get-outs. They will find "good Jews" to cite. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has already been careful to meet with the fanatical, minority, and extreme anti-Israeli Jews of Neturei Karta, a small Haredi sect opposed to any Jewish state until the Messiah arrives. It's a cover that her new friend Corbyn has long hidden behind. And her supporters will continue to find a few people who attack her and Muslims in the most reprehensible ways imaginable. This will continue to allow them to claim that anti-Semitism is to be tackled only if the fight against it goes hand in hand with the right of Omar to say whatever she likes, on a regular basis, about the deeds of Jews. Though it is unclear how this helps get through the Chelsea Clinton conundrum. She turned up at a memorial event in New York for the New Zealand mosque massacre only to be condemned by some of those present, the condemnation being that she was responsible for the massacre because she had recently highlighted, mildly, Ilhan Omar's anti-Semitism.
And that is why the description of anti-Semitism as a virus is so accurate. It gets into hosts who aren't always aware of what they have let in. It cannot be conquered, for one day it will come from one direction, the next from another, with the charge sheet changing as swiftly as the direction of assault. Yet it still has to be fought, of course. For a society that gets lax about trying to keep the virus down is likely to develop a full-blown contagion in due course.

Empowered by a White House that employs and coddles them, white nationalists marched through the small Tennessee town of Shelbyville. But protesters were on hand to drown out their message of hate.
In a scene that is becoming all too common in the Trump era, white supremacists, empowered and inspired by the current occupants of the White House, took to the streets to spew their vile messages of hate and bigotry.
But their display was just as pathetic as it was repugnant, and counter-protesters lined the streets to mock and denounce them.
According to one reporter, counter-protesters outnumbered white supremacists by roughly two-to-one.
The hate groups gathered in Shelbyville, Tennessee, for a so-called "White Lives Matter" march, which was dwarfed by protesters carrying positive messages and blaring music.
The message from those opposing the neo-Nazis was clear, as Shelbyville resident Debbie Hettish noted: "There's more of us than there are of them."

— Dave Boucher (@Dave_Boucher1) October 28, 2017
The march was planned to start at 10 am local time, but was delayed due to the Nazis and Klansmen having to go through metal detectors.
In response to the delay, the counter-protesters, who appeared to have greater numbers than the marchers, had a soundtrack to offer:

As marchers made it through security, they were met by more creative antics from the protesters lining the streets: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have A Dream" speech blaring from a public address system.
Counter protesters play I Have A Dream speech. Nazis start Blood and Soil chant. Wait to the end of the video. #Shelbyville pic.twitter.com/wi94m7fggQ
— Christopher Mathias (@letsgomathias) October 28, 2017
At the end of the video, from Huffington Post reporter Christopher Mathias, the white supremacists start chanting "blood and soil," a racist chant right out of Nazi Germany.
And in an intimidating display targeting immigrants, white nationalists also chanted, "Closed borders, white nation, now we start the deportation."

This violent racism and bigotry are increasingly visible in the Trump era. White supremacists have been empowered by Trump's refusal to condemn them, and his horrifying claim that some among them are "very fine people."
But at this march in Tennessee, the counter-protesters carried the day, particularly whoever was in charge of the loudspeakers.
The counter-protesters #shelbyville playlist is dope as hell. La Bamba blasted so loud rn that you can't hear the Nazis chanting.
— coops (@passthehooch) October 28, 2017
Whoever is MCing the counter-protest is hilarious. "Okay open mic! Who wants to talk to the master race?!" #Shelbyville
— Christopher Mathias (@letsgomathias) October 28, 2017
Pretty hard to hear the Nazi speech over the Bob Marley counter-protesters are blaring #Shelbyville pic.twitter.com/0U2t9qsz5C
— Christopher Mathias (@letsgomathias) October 28, 2017
The Greatest Generation fought and died to protect the world from the horrors of the Nazis. As long as Trump and the Republican Party embrace the "very fine people" who march alongside Nazis, hatred and division will fester.
But the counter-protesters in Shelbyville proved that messages of love and acceptance will always win out over bigotry and violence.
And a little well-deserved mockery goes a long way, too.

1. This is a reference under Rule 17 of the Rules and Orders relating to the Kumaun Division, 1894. The fads briefly are as follows--One Niazi Begam was the owner of certain encumbered shares in three villages, one of which was Meghawala Mahal Sufaid. Her share in it was 6 1/4 biswa which was encumbered as follows: Rs. 7,474 were due to Fardausi Begum and Rs. 3,169-8 G were due to Lala Chheda Lai. Niazi Begam, on the 9th of November 1906, through her guardian, Dost Muhammad, executed a sale-deed of all her shares in the three villages in favour of Basdeo Lal. The real consideration for the sale as has been found was that the vendee would pay off all the incumbrances on the shares sold and that he would deliver possession of 1 1/2 biswa in Meghawala Mahal Sufaid, free from all incumbrances, to the vendor. Chheda La1 brought an action to pre-empt the share of 6-1/11 biswa in Meghawala Mahal Sufaid. The Court of first instance gave him a decree which directed him to pay all the incumbrances on the shares in the three villages without specifying the period within which he had to do so. He appealed to the Deputy Commissioner of Kumaun and the learned Deputy Commissioner modified the decree of the first Court ordering pre-emption in respecb of 6 1/4 biswa on condition that the pre emptor was to pay into Court the sum of Rs. 7,471 due to Fardausi Begam within two months and was to make over 1 1/2 biswa to Dost Muhammad, guardian of Musammat Niazi Begam. A further appeal was taken to the Commissioner of the Kumaun Division who affirmed the decree of the Deputy Commissioner. The pre-emptor Chheda Lal then moved the Local Government to refer the case to this Court for an opinion and in this application he expressed his willingness to restore 1 1/2 biswa in Meghawala Mahal Sufaid to the vendor and to discharge such incumbrances on the property pre-empted as would be found legally enforceable against the said property. The substance of the referring letter is to the following effect: Is the decree passed by the learned Commissioner correct, or is the pre-emptor entitled to a decree in respect of 6j biswa in Meghawala Mahal Sufaid subject to the incumbrances thereon? Is the decree to be in respect of 4 2/4 biswa or in respecb of 6j biswa on condition of delivering possession of 1 1/2 bisawa out of 6 1/4 biswa free from all incumbrances to the vendor
2. A preliminary objection has been taken to this reference by the learned Counsel for the judgment debtor that there is no valid reference, inasmuch as the whole final decree of the Commissioner has not been referred to this Court. There is no force in this objection because the very first question formulated in the letter of reference is whether the decree of the Commissioner is correct and this clearly shows that the entire final decree has been referred to this Court. Coming to the merits of the case, we are of opinion that the decree passed by the learned Commissioner is not correct. It is a well settled rule in this Court that the right of pre-emption is a right of substitution See Tejpal v. Girdhari Lal 30 A. 130 : 5 A.L.J. 112 : A.W.N. (1908) 42 : 3 M.L.T. 223. That being so, the pre-emptor has a right to be substituted for the vendee subject to all the rights and liabilities created by the terms of the sale-deed dated the 9th of November 1906. In this case we are concerned with two points of that sale deed. One is, that the pre-emptor is entitled to pre-empt the share in Meghawala amounting to 6 1/4 biswa subject to the incumbrances thereon. The second is that he has to restore 1 1/2 biswa out of 6 1/4 biswa in Meghawala to the vendor Niazi Begam free from all incumbrances. A proper decree, having regard to the circumstances of the case, in our opinion, will be as follows: Lala Chheda Lal pre-emptor is entitled to possession of 6 1/4 biswa in Meghawala Mahal Sufaid by enforcing his right of pre-emption provided he pays off the two incumbrances already mentioned within six months and provided als) that he delivers possession of If biswa out of 6 1/4 biswa in Meghawala within the said period of six months to Musammat Niazi Begam free from all incumbrances. If he fails to perform the above two conditions within the prescribed time, his suit for pre-emption shall stand dismissed. Having regard to all the circumstances, the pre-emptor is entitled to his costs in all Courts provided he fulfils the condition imposed on him within the time fixed. If he fails to fulfil the conditions, he will have to pay the costs of the opposite party.
3. Our answer to the reference, therefore, is that the decree of the learned Commissioner is wrong and that the pre-emptor is entitled to take 6 1/4 biswa in Meghawali Mahal Sufaid subject to his discharging the two incumbrances within six months from this day and to his restoring free from all incumbrances within the said period 1 1/2 biswa out of the pre-empted property to Musammat Niazi Begam. The pre-emptor is entitled to his costs throughout, provided he fulfils the conditions imposed on him within the time fixed. If he fails to do so, his suit should stand dismissed with costs in all Courts. The costs in this Court will be certified.

It was the first of this years Toy and Train Fairs at my daughter's school today and so I went along to take a look and to seek some inspiration. Nothing to report on the ship search but I was able to acquire a brace of firing artillery pieces for the long term Little Wars style project. Usually this show is awash with such items but today, despite being packed to the rafters with visitors and several new dealers, the artillery was minimal - or more accurately, either too expensive or in need of too much restoration to be worthwhile (sorry Tim, nothing useful to report!). My acquisition was a pair of 'Britains' (yeah right!) firing pieces which look suspiciously like 25 pdrs although are quite basic models which leads me to believe they may be copies. I am not hugely keen on the wheels as they look a little on the modern side but beggars can't be choosers. The gun barrels are fixed with no means of elevation and the muzzle brakes are missing. The paint is a little chipped around the edges and so a repaint will be called for - probably in a shade of grey.
The firing mechanisms for both pieces are absolutely fine and the obligatory matchstick round fired from each reaches to a very respectable 9 or 10 feet. The pair of pieces cost £5 which is pretty good value and with a little work they will be added to the artillery park of my Little Wars collection. In fact, at the moment they are my Little Wars collection....;-)
At the moment....;-)

It seems odd to me that all winners are less than 1R for a system with no profit target. Are you using a pre-supplied system or a custom trading system? Another thing that jumps out is the Expectation is 0.0 and Average Risk Percent is N/A. There could be a bug in your code, data, or both.

Trading Leech, You can trade with $10,000. You can't trade as many products and be as diversified as someone with $1M+. You need to watch out for commissions and account fees eating away at your account. But you can trade! I am in a similar situation to you. I have a "relatively" small stake for tra...

Majors vs. Crosses vs. Exotics Portfolio Selection
I primarily trade spot forex with LTTF systems. I selected the six majors to include in my portfolio due to small spreads of 1 to 2 pips and good data to test on. This past year was the first full year trading my systems and with such a volatile 2011, I am happy with the system's performance of ju...

A good resource for checking the financial data of some of the forex brokers is the cftc website. It should keep you away from the smaller, less established fx brokers. --> http://www.cftc.gov/MarketReports/Finan ... /index.htm

I have made a scan, and it finds a lot of old deleted files, but only one of the today deleted files. I have a lot of space on my C Drive (and also D drive), but don't know which drive deleted recycle bin files are hidden. Can somebody clarify, and is there any way I can recover the deleted files. Are deleted recycle files hidden in a specific folder on the C/drive? Michael Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every day, we're surrounded by pollutants. Microscopic contaminants, such as mold spores, dust mites, pet dander, pollen and even cooking fumes, contaminate the air we breathe. Unfortunately, the size of these particles is also what makes them hazardous to our health, allowing us to breathe them in unnoticed, so they can find their way into our lungs.
Because Americans spend the majority of their time indoors, both at home and at the office, their exposure to pollutants is as much as 5 times higher than it would be outdoors. It's more important than ever to maintain a healthy indoor environment, and air purifiers can play an important role by improving the air quality in your home or office. To keep them working at optimal performance, it's critical to understand how they work and how to clean them.
The purpose of an air purifier is to filter air and reduce airborne contaminants for a healthier living environment. To accomplish that, air purifiers have fans, which channel the air through an intake grate. Prefilters and filters then trap allergens and other pollutants as the air passes through, leaving the air cleaner. Eventually, other powerful fans direct the purified air out of the unit and back into the room.
Some air purifiers also contain ionizers, which release negatively charged ions into the environment. These ions attach to impurities in the air to form larger particles, which can be more easily trapped by the machine's filters.
- Soft, damp cloth
- Small, soft brush
- Garbage bag
- Vacuum (either with attachments or handheld)
- Screwdriver (for some models)
- Replacement filter(s) (for air purifiers that don't have permanent filters)
Like most other equipment, air purifiers need to be cleaned and maintained regularly to keep them running smoothly. While cleaning and maintenance requirements may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, you can follow these steps to get started cleaning your air purifier.
- Turn off and unplug your air purifier. Unless specifically directed to do so by the manufacturer, you should never attempt to maintain or clean electrical appliances while they're connected to electricity.
- Inspect your appliance. Check for damaged plugs and frayed or loose cords. If you discover problems with your air purifier, contact the manufacturer for instructions on getting the unit repaired or replaced.
- Clean prefilters. If your air purifier contains exterior prefilters, vacuum away collected debris, such as dust bunnies, fibers and pet hair. Once the surface is free of debris, wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth. If your model contains a washable foam prefilter, remove the filter and handwash it in warm, sudsy water. Let it dry thoroughly before replacing it.
- Open your air purifier. Generally, you'll find an access panel on the back of your machine. Many units have easy-open access panels secured by tabs, while some models require a screwdriver. For specific instructions on accessing the interior of your particular model, consult your owner's manual or contact the manufacturer directly.
- Discard the used filter (If your air purifier has a reusable filter, skip to Step 6). Carefully remove the main filter. If your air purifier has done its job well, the old filter will be heavily soiled. Make sure to have a garbage bag ready so you don't release dirt and other contaminants from the used filter back into the air. Before throwing out your filter, check local recycling guidelines to determine the appropriate means of disposal.
- Clean your filter (only for units with permanent filters). While it's always best to follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning, generally, permanent filters can be vacuumed to remove trapped debris. Using an attachment, make sure to clean both sides of the filter and don't forget to vacuum thoroughly between the pleats. Don't use water, detergent or household cleaners on permanent filters. It's normal for permanent filters to show discoloration even after thorough cleaning.
- Install the new filter. (For units with permanent filters, simply reposition your filter in the unit.) Most importantly, make sure the new filter meets the manufacturer's guidelines. Before installing it in your air purifier, make sure the filter cartridge is oriented correctly for appropriate air flow. Then simply set it in place. For more complex air purifiers, including those with multiple levels of filtration, users should follow the manufacturer's instructions.
- Close up the unit. Once you've made sure that the filters are properly in place, close the unit and fasten the access panel to your air purifier.
- Clean the exterior. Your machine's external surfaces can be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth. Small brushes work well for detailing vents and intake grates.
- Test for performance. Now it's time to plug in your air purifier and turn it on to make sure it's working properly. Advanced models may include self-diagnostics to let you know if everything is installed correctly and working properly.
Unless your owner's manual states otherwise, most standard air purifiers should be cleaned every 3 to 6 months. If your unit includes a permanent filter, the filter should be vacuumed thoroughly at least every 3 to 6 months. Many air purifiers with permanent filters have an indicator to let you know when the filter needs maintenance.
Exterior prefilters should be checked every 2-3 weeks to determine cleaning needs. For units with washable foam prefilters, these inserts should be taken out and washed at least once every 30 days.
While cleaning your air purifier can be time-consuming, it's essential to keep your machine running properly. Regular maintenance and filter replacement can not only extend the life of your air purifier but will ensure better overall air quality to help keep your family, friends or coworkers healthy.
