The controversy surrounding sexual harassment accusation against the Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi got more complicated yesterday after a special bench of the Supreme Court addressed the affidavit submitted by Advocate Utsav Bains on the same. While a Supreme Court panel headed by Justice S A Bobde issued a notice to the former employee who sent her affidavit to 22 judges alleging sexual harassment, directing her to appear before the court on April 26, matters before the special bench led by Justice Arun Mishra regarding Bains’ affidavit raised eyebrows. Bains’ affidavit unveiled a man, identifying himself as a relative of the former SC employee, offering him up to Rs 1.5 crore to file a false case against CJI. However, when Bains asked him to be specific regarding his relationship with the former employee, the man grew evasive. Bains claimed that he is in possession of reliable information citing a larger plot at play against CJI where vested interests expressed interest in bringing down CJI through a false case which will enforce his resignation. Bains withheld more crucial information which he wanted to convey by filing a second affidavit but was abstained from doing so by Justice Mishra who advised him to pen it down so that there is not even a remote chance of the confidential details getting doctored. Justice Mishra implicitly referred to the recent dismissal of court staffers Manav Sharma and Tapan Chakravarthy for doctoring a court order in a contempt case between Anil Ambani and Ericsson. He further acknowledged the fact that CJI had been courageous and independent in leading SC cases and his nature might have irked some interests. He also observed how CJI’s unprecedented move to sack two court masters – Manav Sharma and Tapan Kumar Chakraborty – for tampering with orders of the Supreme Court in Ericsson’s contempt plea against Reliance Communications and Anil Ambani. Justice Mishra credited CJI with something that no other CJI had done and by his observation, it is natural that this sort of independent behaviour has upset some quarters. The contents of the affidavit submitted by Bains were considered so disturbing that the bench did not reveal its contents to anyone, not even senior counsel Indira Jaisingh. Receiving pertinent advice from the Attorney General (AG) and Solicitor General (SG) present in the court, the bench inquired about credible personnel to discuss this confidential matter behind the closed door. Bains was specifically irked by AG’s constant interest in a Facebook post by him that he will file an affidavit in SC with evidence of “conspiracy against the CJI by a lobby of disgruntled judges, SC fixers, corporate scamsters, and a few corrupt Politicians – All who have meticulously planned the conspiracy to force the CJI to resign as their ‘Corrupt works were not going through in SC”. But AG highlighted how Bains’s affidavit filed in SC has no mention of the alleged lobby of disgruntled judged and corrupt politicians. Twice, AG pursued this and twice Bains had an outburst as he complained that AG was doubting his integrity. Justice Mishra asserted that the materials submitted by Bains alleged that the disgruntled employees of the SC had tried to frame the CJI. Connecting it to what CJI did with the court masters, this was a likely outcome. Also Read – A compounding difficultyWhile Bains’ courage to come up directly before the law (judges) and trust them with the highly sensitive and confidential matter, which he believes would not have been appropriate to be taken to police or CBI reflects the seriousness of the issue. Asserting how CBI in the past has been used as a political tool and Police comes under the state (executive), Bains countered SG’s advice of having the matter probed by SIT. Bains rightly stood on denying the involvement of anyone but law. The independence of the judiciary is under threat as asserted by CJI and given Bains’s disclosure, it seems likely that some conspiracy is there which is yet to see the light of the day. While the Court said that it will decide if privilege can be claimed over the communications between Bains and the alleged conspirators, it remains to be seen what exactly this confidential information is. Bains’s concern over the sensitivity of the issue was rightly reciprocated by the learned bench who will now dig to the root of the issue. This will certainly be instrumental in the alleged accusation against CJI and for “the independence of the judiciary”.
Du nouveau sur le cancer colorectalFrance – Une étude sur des rats publiée le 7 juillet met en évidence un lien entre la consommation de charcuterie et le cancer du côlon.On soupçonnait depuis longtemps l’effet cancérigène de la charcuterie, l’Institut français de recherche agronomique (Inra) de Toulouse l’a démontré en menant une expérience sur des rats. Pour que la charcuterie ait des conséquences néfastes, il faut qu’elle combine quatre facteurs : la cuisson, la richesse en hème (composant naturel qui donne sa couleur rouge à la viande), l’ajout de nitrites (éléments contribuant à la saveur et à la conservation) et enfin l’oxydation. C’est la transformation de l’hème qui serait responsable.Cette connaissance nouvelle acquise, les producteurs pourraient être appelés à revoir leurs processus de fabrication et de conditionnement. Du côté des consommateurs, des mesures peuvent également être prises. Tout d’abord, il faudrait freiner son goût pour la charcuterie. Cela semble difficile dans l’hexagone où elle est profondément ancrée dans les habitudes alimentaires. Il faudrait également préférer acheter la charcuterie sous plastique et la consommer rapidement afin de limiter son oxydation. Le 11 juillet 2010 à 11:37 • Emmanuel Perrin
L’App Store d’Amazon provoque la colère d’AppleLa marque à la pomme veut porter plainte contre Amazon, coupable à ses yeux d’usurper l’appellation App Store.Apple ne veut pas partager le nom “App Store”. La firme de Steve Jobs doit pourtant faire avec une concurrence déterminée à également utiliser cette fameuse appellation. C’est le cas du site de vente en ligne Amazon, qui a lancé aujourd’hui son Android App Store, une plateforme de téléchargement des applications pour smartphones fonctionnant sous le système d’exploitation de Google.À lire aussiPour sauver Internet, la Silicon Valley envisage d’installer ses serveurs dans l’espaceHier soir, Apple a donc annoncé avoir déposé une plainte en Californie contre Amazon pour violation de propriété intellectuelle. Une injonction destinée à interdire au site d’utiliser ce nom, explique le Wall Street Journal. “Les consommateurs d’applications logicielles pour mobiles risquent d’être confus quant à la caution ou l’approbation d’Apple apportées au service de téléchargement d’Amazon”, explique ainsi Apple. Déjà en conflit avec Microsoft, la marque à la pomme compte donc bien obliger Amazon à retirer l’appellation “App Store” dont elle est propriétaire depuis juillet 2008.

L’iPhone 5, pas avant octobre ? Malgré l’évocation d’une sortie en septembre, le nouvel iPhone d’Apple pourrait bien ne pas débarquer dans les boutiques avant fin octobre selon les dernières rumeurs.Il semble qu’il va falloir attendre un peu plus que ce que certains espéraient. En effet, selon les dernières rumeurs, l’iPhone 5 ne sortirait plus en septembre mais fin octobre. C’est ce que vient tout juste d’indiquer le blog All things Digital. “Certaines rumeurs parlent d’une sortie de l’iPhone en septembre ? Elles sont fausses” a écrit John Paczkowski sur le site qui explique que les rumeurs sont parties du fait que l’opérateur AT&T aurait empêché ses employés de partir en vacances les deux dernières semaines de septembre en vue de la sortie du nouveau smartphone très attendu. “Je ne sais pas pourquoi AT&T rappelle ses hommes sur le pont pour cette période, mais ça n’a rien à voir avec un lancement d’iPhone” peut-on encore ainsi lire sur le blog, comme le rapporte Clubic.com. Pour l’instant, le mystère plane donc toujours sur la date de sortie de l’iPhone 5. Celle-ci pourrait être prévue pour octobre mais plus vers la fin du mois que le début, précise le blog All Things Digital. Une chose est sure, il va encore falloir attendre un peu avant de savoir enfin ce qu’a concocté la marque à la pomme. Le 2 août 2011 à 09:13 • Maxime Lambert
By MUHAMMED SAILU BAHThe Ministry of Energy with support from the ECOWAS Center for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE) on 12 August, 2015 opened a two day workshop to validate the National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP) and National Energy Efficiency Action Plan (NEEAP) for the Gambia.The objective, according to organizers, is to present the action plans to the national stakeholders and gather their feedback on the targets and measures integrated in the plans and to officially validate the two action plan documents.In his opening address, Dr. Sarja Sanneh, Minister of Energy, said his ministry has been looking inwards to utilize the indigenous energy resources to reduce the country’s dependence on imported fossil fuels.Dr. Sanneh said these resources include renewable energy and energy efficiency, adding that these are sustainable energy resources if judiciously exploited will go a long way to support the country’s economic development.“This is why under the umbrella of ECOWAS member states came together to cooperate in the development of energy resources of the region and it is under this cooperation program. ECOWAS, through its special agency on renewable energy and energy efficiency called ECREEE, is working with member states for the development of national action plans for renewable energy and energy efficiency within the framework of SEE4ALL,” said the energy minister.He said the availability of a reliable system of energy supply that is efficient, affordable and environmentally sound is one of the vital components of The Gambia Government’s development agenda which focuses on poverty alleviation and the achievement of Visions 2016, 2020 and MDGs.With the recognition of the vital role played in the socio-economic development of the country, Minister Sanneh said, the Government of The Gambia has been doing all what is possible to provide the vital services of energy to the doorsteps of the communities in the country.Hyacinth Elayo, Energy Policy Analyst from ECOWAS Center for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE), on behalf of the Executive Director of ECREEE, thanked the Gambia government for the impressive strides taken in the area of sustainable energy development.“The partnership between ECREEE and The Gambia Government will complement The Gambia’s efforts to increase energy access for our homes, businesses and industry and lead to greater socio-economic development,” said Mr. Elayo.He noted that the ECOWAS Regional Renewable Energy Policy aims to ensure increased use of renewable energy sources such as solar, winds, small-scale hydro and bioenergy for grid electricity supply and for the provision of access to energy services in rural areas.The success of these action plans, said the ECREEE official, will require that they are based on national potentials and socio-economic assessments underpinned by concrete laws, incentives and measures as well as clear financing strategy and technically well designed interventions.He reiterated ECREEE’s firm commitment to supporting The Gambia to successfully implement action plans that are relevant to the country’s sustainable energy development aspirations thus promising that they will continue to encourage all stakeholders, particularly the private sector and civil society to engage with this process.The validation was held at the Boabab Hotel Resort in Bijilo. ]]>
FortisTCI reveals Education Week winners Recommended for you Related Items:eddinton powell, fortis tci, urban green environment ltd Rave Reviews for National Science Fair ideas Facebook Twitter Google+LinkedInPinterestWhatsApp TCI Police looking for candy & electricity thieves Facebook Twitter Google+LinkedInPinterestWhatsAppProvidenciaes, 01 Sept 2015 – A significant milestone was yesterday announced in the move to see renewable energy introduced in the islands as FortisTCI has signed a Memorandum of Understanding to run an industrial-sized solar energy test. The country’s lone electricity provider yesterday announced the deal which CEO Eddinton Powell says will not cost more and will not risk the quality of the power being supplied. Eddinton Powell, CEO FortisTCI: “The Company is very enthusiastic about the potential of this project and partnering with this potential IPP in the generation of green energy. This project, and soon to be launched renewable energy programs for residential customers, will usher in a new era of green energy in the TCI. We know that this will not happen overnight, and we realize that this is still an expensive proposition. However, the Company believes that renewable sources of energy will play an increasing role in the Country’s energy mix…” FortisTCI says in the near future, this apparent second phase of an initiative started a year ago with Urban Green Environment Ltd will mean both utility and residential scale solar systems can be supported with the solar systems interconnected to the grid within proposed limits. For now, wind power is out because of some restraints placed on FortisTCI by the Planning Department; those restraints were not named, but this new MOU with Urban Green Environment Ltd is being hailed as a revolutionary next step.

Clark County commissioners gave a sneak preview this week of the debate to come on a proposal by the owners of the Class A Yakima Bears to bring the minor league baseball team to Vancouver. Just as a team’s performance during spring training doesn’t necessarily indicate how their season will go, commissioners could end up in another place after hearing more public input and working out details.Commissioners have yet to even have a work session on the proposal. They know they will likely be asked to impose a 5 percent countywide admissions tax and issue bonds to cover 70 percent of capital construction costs for a stadium at Clark College.Based on Wednesday’s discussion, it sounds as though Commissioner Tom Mielke, R-Battle Ground, will vote no, Commissioner Steve Stuart, D-Vancouver, will vote yes and Commissioner Marc Boldt, R-Hockinson, will be in his usual position as swing vote.Both Stuart and Boldt have said they want to hear the full proposal. Mielke asked why the county’s bothering with the issue.Revenue, jobsStuart has dropped pro-baseball clues, such as bringing up the fact owners are willing to finance 30 percent of capital construction costs — and all maintenance and operations costs — of a $23 million stadium they’d use for 38 games a year.

A University of Washington researcher says a strong desire to pass down traditional knowledge may be related to high levels of optimism that he’s found among homeless Alaska Native elders. (Photo by Heather Bryant/KTOO)A University of Washington professor has found high levels of optimism among homeless Alaska Native elders living in Seattle, and he’s connected the finding to a strong desire to pass on knowledge and experiences to future generations.Download AudioAs an Aleut who grew up in Naknek, Jordan Lewis knows a little something about Alaska Native culture. Whenever he’s back home, Lewis says he likes to talk to elders and soak up traditional knowledge.“They tell stories about how Naknek used to be when they were kids, because it’s changing so much now,” he says. “And I think just the fact that they talk to you and share their experiences, and pass on recipes, or how they used to make things, or where they used to pick berries, is this idea that they are hopeful that you’ll take that knowledge and use it to benefit your own life, but then pass it on again.”Lewis is an assistant professor at the University of Washington’s School of Social Work. His research focuses on Alaska Native communities and generativity, a concept developed by psychologist Erik Erikson. It says that as we grow older, humans tend to want to pass on their experiences and knowledge to future generations.“The first generative act most people have in their lives is having kids,” Lewis says. “That’s going to secure your future. But as you grow older there’s this need to pass on your legacy, write your memoirs, storytelling for elders, and passing down stories you heard to your grand kids.”Lewis has studied how generativity helps Alaska Natives age well and become role models, as well as overcome addictions.He says he became interested in the homeless because it’s an underserved and often overlooked population. Years ago, he says, his family had a relative involved with the Chief Seattle Club, a nonprofit that provides meals, housing assistance and other services to low-income and homeless Alaska Natives and American Indians. That’s where he and a student interviewed 14 Alaska Native elders last year. He says the results surprised even him.“All of the elders talked about the importance of giving back and teaching others,” he says. “Whether it’s through sharing a sandwich, giving extra change if they had extra change to someone who wasn’t doing as well as they were. Volunteering at the Chief Seattle Club was almost everybody’s response. That’s what made them happy, that’s what got them up every day. And they all said that they did that because it’s going to come back to them in a positive way.”He says other themes of the interviews included the importance of laughter and religion.In addition, each of the elders – ages 45 to 70 – filled out surveys to measure generativity and optimism. Lewis says 12 of the 14 individuals scored very high in both.“That kind of complimented the qualitative interviews. So I could say, you know, 85 percent of the people I interviewed are very optimistic and like to give back and teach the young people, and then here we have specific examples of what they do to do that,” Lewis says.While he’s excited about the early results, Lewis admits more research is needed to confirm his findings. He’d like to do more than 100 interviews, and has considered expanding to include American Indians.He’s planning to present his research at the Chief Seattle Club, and ask officials there for ideas on how to do a broader study of Native homelessness.“How could we either help the people who are homeless, or how do we prevent homelessness, or how do we make their lives more enjoyable from these experiences of what these elders are doing for themselves,” he says.Lewis also hopes to publish his findings in a peer-reviewed journal. The initial study was part of an online Stanford University program on successful aging that he participated in last year.

Mr. Spock, Dr. Bones, prepare yourselves for gadget lust. And the rest of us, too. A new gadget promises to act as a handheld scanner that can read a person’s vital health signs in virtually an instant. For all of you Star Trek geeks, it’s sort of like the tricorder scanner used by the crew of the Starship Enterprise.The new tool is called Scanadu Scout. It can measure your temperature, heart rate, and other vital signs just by touching your forehead. Yes, a simple touch to your head is all it needs. The device then connects wirelessly to an app on your smartphone to provide you with analysis of the data it collected.”Learn ways that different people, locations, activities, foods, beverages, and medicines affect your body,” the California-based company says on its website. “Sick or well. Discover connections. Watch trends. Spot side effects. Catch problems early. And track them.”The idea is to provide users with basic yet important health information that can be used to better inform doctors about any conditions you may have. This potentially could be useful for people who suffer from chronic illnesses. Or for anyone else who wants to avoid a needless trip to the doctor or the emergency room if your symptoms can easily be diagnosed.Another device, called Scanadu Scanaflo, is a urine test kit that the company says can test for levels of glucose, protein, leukocytes, nitrates, blood, bilirubin, urobilinogen, specific gravity, and pH in urine. It will also test for pregnancy. All from a person’s home, or wherever it is used.Being able to access information about your own health seems like a logical next step in our always-connected, mobile-obsessed culture. But, to me, there seem to be at least a couple important flaws — at least initially. First, I understand that this device could save time in the doctor’s office since it essentially eliminates the need for anyone to take and read your vitals. But, realistically, I don’t know any doctors who would trust the self-administered findings from an outside device without checking a person’s vitals themselves anyway.Second, the Scanadu Scout makes your health information portable over your smartphone, so it’s easy to share with your doctor or other health-care workers. But doesn’t this also pose a privacy issue? What if your phone is lost? Can someone have access to even some of your health information? Does Scanadu harvest the information it collects about you?Unfortunately, not much is officially known still about the technology behind the Scanadu Scout. The “Tech Specs” section of the website is still listed as “Coming Soon.”But there seems to be a swell of enthusiasm for the device in the market. The Scanadu Scout recently raised $1.66 million on crowdfunding site Indiegogo from more than 8,500 funders in 110 countries, AllThingsD reported. Not bad for a little device inspired by Star Trek, eh? Free Webinar | Sept. 9: The Entrepreneur’s Playbook for Going Global 3 min read Growing a business sometimes requires thinking outside the box.
