Pacino, DeNiro.
PacinoDeNiroPacinoDeNiroPacinoDeNiroPacinoDeNiroPacinoDeNiro.
Who could fail to be awed? What could be mightier than the coming together of these two titanic forces of nature? Was not the day we heard these two would be paired in HEAT akin to the day we were told Jack Nicholson was to play the Joker? Pacino - the top cop; DeNiro the chief thief. What could we expect but a cinematic apocalypse of galactic proportions?
Michael Mann.
Michael Mann must have thought the same thing. Michael Mann is the director of HEAT. He is also its screenwriter. Michael Mann is the creator of TV's Miami Vice and the director of several action movies, including LAST OF THE MOHICANS. Michael Mann must have said to himself, "This is going to be my GOODFELLAS. No. This is going to be my GODFATHER. No this is going to be my GOODFELLAS *and* GODFATHER rolled into one!"
Let me begin by saying, Michael Mann is neither Martin Scorcese nor Francis Ford Coppola. But I knew that going in.
The movie started off *fine*. DeNiro and his crew (which includes Val Kilmer) knock over an armored car - literally. It's a brilliantly hatched and well executed plan. Pacino arrives on the scene and catches the scent; the chase is on. It was what I expected from Mann.
But then, instead of focusing on the hunt and the heists, he repeatedly returns to family life scenes concerning Pacino and Kilmer's characters and an unlikely romance for DeNiro's. A side plot develops in which DeNiro's gang makes deals with the guy whose bonds they stole from the armored car. More characters are introduced and given scenes. Another side plot with a serial killer opens up. As the minutes piled up and the footage rolled on, a metronome began ticking in my head, softly, "dull.....dull.....dull...."
Don't get me wrong. There's nothing wrong with a rich plot or showing a character's family life. But the bulk of the scenes and the characters in them were so contrived and the editing so loose and dragging, I couldn't understand why Mann didn't just stick to the core story.
Slowly I realized what he was out to do. He was going for ... Epic.
Eventually, we come to the bank job. The screen that had been quiet almost since the opening, exploded with automatic weapons and shotguns. Glass shattered, cars crashed, people screamed. It's a great, climactic scene. A climax you could go home from and say, "That was a good movie."
But it wasn't the climax! It wasn't the end! HEAT dragged on for more than an hour afterwards. I was writhing in my seat. At one point, a cop says, "I'm going to get some coffee and we're going to sit until this thing is over with." I felt like saying, "Get some for me, too." As the credits finally rolled, someone behind me muttered, "That was so long, DeNiro could have gone to prison in the first scene and finished his sentence before the movie was over."
The funny thing is that even though Pacino and DeNiro were the leads in this movie, they shared only three, maybe four scenes. One of those scenes was dialogue; the rest were gunplay. And in all of those scenes, you never once see both Pacino's and DeNiro's faces on screen at the same time. It is entirely conceivable that these two men never acted together in making this movie.
I mentioned Val Kilmer as one of the supporting stars in HEAT. The rest of the supporting cast seems like a list of every performer ever mentioned on Film Flicks & Video Pix. There's Tom Sizemore, John Voigt, William Fichter, Wes Studi (Magua from LAST OF THE MOHICANS and the title character in GERONIMO), Hank Azaria (of TV's "The Simpsons"), Ashley Judd, even Henry Rollins and the guy who played the knife-throwing hit man in DESPERADO.
HEAT is two minutes of trailer material and 2 hours and 43 minutes of filler. It will be left to a future generation to harness the combined power of Pacino and DeNiro and put it to constructive use for humanity.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
weinre was originally designed so that each user that wanted to use weinre would run their own weinre server. The system has since been enhanced to support muliple users using the same server.
To use a multi-user server, you'll need to select an id for yourself. This id will be used in the client and target URLs of weinre to scope your clients and targets from the clients and targets of other users.
There is no password, just an id. There is no real security here. The id is a secret shared between your debug target and client, but it is sent in the clear when your target and client connect to the server. If someone else knows your id, they can connect to clients or targets you are running with that id.
So don't give your id to anyone else that you don't want to share with.
To keep your id's familar but non-guessable, you might use a string consisting of your typical userid, followed by a dash, followed by another string not likely to be guessed by other people.
If you are paranoid, you can change your id every time you start a debug session, of course.
Typically when start a weinre client session by visiting a URL like
http://some.server.xyz/client/
To start
a client with a particular id, append the hash character (#
) and
the id you want to use the URL. For instance, to connect with the id
itsReallyMe
, launch the client with the URL
http://some.server.xyz/client/#itsReallyMe
The id which is used will be displayed in the connected clients list for each connected client.
As with the server, append the hash character (#
) to the
URL of the script being injected into your web page. If you had previously
used a <script src> element of:
<script src="http://some.server.xyz/target/target-script-min.js"></script>
use this script element to connect with id itsReallyMe
<script src="http://some.server.xyz/target/target-script-min.js#itsReallyMe"></script>
anonymous
will be used for the id.

REPORTABLE IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA CRIMINAL ORIGINAL JURISDICTION 1 WRIT PETITION (CRIMINAL) NO. 135 OF 2008 Ms. Mayawati .... Petitioner (s) Versus Union of India & Ors. .... Respondent(s) 2 J U D G M E N T
P.Sathasivam,J.
1) The only question raised in this writ petition, filed under Article 32 of the Constitution of India, is as to whether FIR No. R.C. 0062003A0019 dated 05.10.2003 lodged under Section 13(2) read with Section 13 (1) (e) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 (hereinafter referred to as “the PC Act”) against the petitioner herein to investigate into the matter of alleged disproportionate assets is beyond the scope of the directions passed by this Court in the order dated 18.09.2003 in I.A. No. 376 of 2003 in W.P. (C) No. 13381 of 1984 titled M.C. Mehta vs. Union of India and Others, (2003) 8 SCC 696?
2) The case of the petitioner as stated in the writ petition, is summarized hereunder:
(a) On the date of filing of this writ petition before this Court, the petitioner was the Chief Minister of U.P. Earlier also, the petitioner had been the Chief Minister of U.P. for three times. The petitioner had also served as a Member of Parliament many a time both as a Member of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha and had also served as a Member of Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council of the State of U.P. The petitioner is a law graduate and had been a teacher from 1977 to 1984. At present, the petitioner is the President of a National Political Party called as “Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP)”, which is one of the six National Parties recognized by the Election Commission of India.
(b) This Court, by order dated 16.07.2003 in I.A. No. 387 of 2003 in Writ Petition (C) No. 13381 of 1984 titled M.C. Mehta vs. Union of India & Ors. directed the CBI to conduct an inquiry on the basis of an I.A. filed in the aforesaid writ petition alleging various irregularities committed by the officers/persons in the Taj Heritage Corridor Project and to submit a Preliminary Report.
(c) By means of an order dated 21.08.2003, this Court issued certain directions to the CBI to interrogate and verify the assets of the persons concerned with regard to outflow of Rs. 17 crores which was alleged to have been released without proper sanction for the said Project. When the case was taken up for hearing on 11.09.2003, a report was submitted by the CBI and it was directed to be kept in a sealed cover in the Registry.
(d) This Court, in its further order dated 18.09.2003, on the basis of the report dated 11.09.2003, granted further time to the CBI for verification of the assets of the officers/persons involved. The CBI- Respondent No. 2 herein submitted a report on 18.09.2003 before this Court which formed the basis of order dated 18.09.2003 wherein the CBI was directed to conduct an inquiry with respect to the execution of the Taj Heritage Corridor Project under Taj Trapezium Zone (TTZ) Area at Agra.
(e) Pursuant to the orders of this Court, an FIR was lodged on 05.10.2003 being RC No. 0062003A0018/2003 under Section 120-B read with Sections 420, 467, 468 and 471 IPC and under Section 13(2) read with Section 13(1)(d) of the PC Act against several persons including the petitioner herein. In the said FIR, certain details and several developments which took place with regard to the aforesaid Project have been given. As per the allegations contained in the report dated 11.09.2003, several irregularities were allegedly being found in the aforesaid Project. Pursuant to the same, investigation has been completed and the report was forwarded to obtain the sanction from the competent authority, namely, the Governor for prosecuting the Chief Minster of the State. The Governor, by order dated 03.06.2007, declined to accord sanction to prosecute the petitioner.
(f) According to the petitioner, in the aforesaid FIR, it was stated that this Court also directed the CBI to conduct an inquiry pertaining to the assets of the officers/individuals concerned in the aforesaid Project as mentioned in the judgment passed by this Court in the aforesaid case in order to ascertain whether any mis-appropriation of funds have been done with regard to outflow of Rs. 17 crores released for the construction of said Project. A perusal of the order dated 18.09.2003 would reveal that whatever directions were issued by this Court were only in respect of Rs. 17 crores alleged to have been released without proper sanction and there is not even a whisper about making an investigation into any other assets of the persons involved in general. In other words, the scope of the order of this Court was limited to the extent of money released in the said Project and not otherwise. This is clear from the order of this Court dated 18.09.2003 wherein it had specifically observed about lodging of FIR only with regard to Taj Heritage Corridor Project case. That order nowhere mentioned about lodging of second FIR in regard to the disproportionate assets of the petitioner.
(g) It is the further case of the petitioner that contrary to the orders of this Court, with mala fide intentions, the CBI registered another FIR being R.C. No. 19 of 2003 on the same date i.e. 05.10.2003 only against the petitioner alleging therein that in pursuance of the orders dated 21.08.2003, 11.09.2003 and 18.09.2003 passed by this Court, they conducted an inquiry with regard to the acquiring of disproportionate movable and immovable assets by the petitioner and her close relatives and on the basis of this inquiry lodged the said FIR, whereas there was no direction or observation by this Court to inquire into the assets of the petitioner not related to the said Project case.
(h) The said FIR has been lodged by Shri K.N. Tewari, Superintendent of Police, CBI/ACP, Lucknow, however, in the column of complaint at page No. 2 of the FIR, the name of the complainant/informant has been mentioned as Shri Inder Pal, Assistant Registrar, PIL Branch, Supreme Court of India, New Delhi even though no such order or direction issued by him for registration of the case. It is further pointed out that Shri Inder Pal has not signed any such FIR as complainant/informant. Pursuant to the impugned FIR - R.C. No. 19 of 2003 the CBI conducted raids, search and seizure operations at all the premises of the petitioner and her relatives and seized all the bank accounts.
(i) The petitioner has made several representations to the CBI officials, the State Minister of Personnel and the Hon’ble Prime Minister who heads the Personnel Department drawing their attention that the Supreme Court had not given any such direction or authority to the CBI to lodge an FIR in respect to the alleged disproportionate assets and investigate the entire assets of the petitioner from the year 1995 which have no relation with the case of Taj Heritage Corridor Project which came into being only in August, 2003. In spite of several reminders and further representations, till date no communication has been received from the CBI. The absence of any reply by any of the authorities including the CBI shows that there was no direction or authority to the CBI in the order dated 18.09.2003 to lodge an FIR or to investigate into the assets of the petitioner which are not related to the said Project. Hence, it was incumbent upon the CBI to comply with the provisions of Section 6 of the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act, 1946 (in short ‘DSPE Act’) which makes it obligatory to obtain the consent of the Government of the concerned State to confer jurisdiction on the CBI to investigate in any case arising within the jurisdiction of a State. In the present case, FIR was lodged and investigation was conducted without obtaining consent of the State Government which is in flagrant violation of Section 6 of the DSPE Act. In the absence of the consent of the State Government, the whole exercise of the CBI about lodging of FIR and investigating into the assets of the petitioner not related to Taj Heritage Corridor Project is without jurisdiction and, therefore, the same is non est and void ab initio.
(j) It is further pointed out that this Court in its order dated 25.10.2004, after perusing the investigation reports filed by the CBI, held that no link was found between the irregularities alleged to have been found in respect to the assets matter and the Taj Heritage Corridor Project which was the subject-matter of the reference before the Special Bench.
(k) The fact that this Court had stopped monitoring the assets case was again reiterated in the order dated 07.08.2006 passed by this Court.
(l) On 27.11.2006, this Court finally decided the issue in respect to the FIR being R.C. No. 18 relating to the Taj Heritage Corridor matter reported in M.C. Mehta (Taj Corridor Scam) vs. Union of India & Ors., (2007) 1 SCC
110. In the said judgment, this Court observed that it should not embark upon an enquiry in regard to the allegations of criminal misconduct in order to form an opinion one way or the other so as to prima facie determine guilt of a person or otherwise. When the matter came up before the Governor of U.P. to grant or refuse sanction for prosecution, he sought legal opinion from the Additional Solicitor General of India and based on his opinion and on appreciation of entire materials, the Governor has concluded that the petitioner was not even remotely connected with the sanction of the said Project or the payment released for the same. After the above order of the Governor, the directions given by this Court in the order dated 18.09.2003 were fully complied with including in respect to consider violations of the provisions of the PC Act. After this, there was no justification or authority with the CBI to continue with the investigation in other personal assets of the petitioner.
(m) On 05.06.2007, the CBI moved an application before the Special Judge, Anti Corruption Bureau, (CBI), Lucknow informing that the Governor had refused to grant sanction. On perusal of all the materials including the order of the Governor declining to grant sanction, the Special Judge held that in the absence of sanction to prosecute the petitioner, the Court has no jurisdiction to take cognizance.
(n) The order of the Governor was also challenged before this Court in Writ Petition (Civil) No. 434 of 2007. However, this Court, by order dated 06.08.2007, dismissed the same as withdrawn. Even thereafter, the petitioner has made several representations to the Director, CBI to drop the investigation on the basis of the aforesaid FIR. However, the CBI is bent upon harassing the petitioner. Hence, she approached this Court by filing the present writ petition.
Stand of the CBI-Respondent No.2:
3) Pursuant to the notice issued on 15.05.2008, the CBI-Respondent No.2 herein has filed its counter affidavit wherein it was stated that in the order dated 18.09.2003 of this Court, there was a clear direction to register an FIR for investigating into disproportionate assets of the petitioner on the ground that in the said order it was mentioned that “apart from what has been stated in the reports with regard to the assets, the learned ASG Mr. Altaf Ahmad has submitted that further inquiry/investigation is necessary by the CBI”. It is further stated that the validity of the aforesaid FIRs was not disturbed by the Allahabad High Court by its order dated 22.10.2003 on the ground that the FIR in question was filed as per the directions of this Court. It is further stated by the CBI that the FIR No. RC 19 dated 05.10.2003 under Section 13(2) read with Section 13(1)(e) of the PC Act reveal the details of huge amount of disproportionate assets possessed by the petitioner and her family members beyond their known sources of income.
Further case of the petitioner:
4) A rejoinder affidavit, supplementary affidavit and supplementary counter affidavits have also been filed wherein subsequent developments which took place during the pendency of the writ petition, especially, passing of various orders by the Income Tax Authorities, Income Tax Appellate Tribunal and the Delhi High Court in favour of the petitioner for different assessment years have been mentioned holding that all income shown in her accounts in the form of gift or otherwise are genuine and legal, covering from 1995 to 2004 of which period the assessments were reopened, investigated and reassessed.
Case of the intervenor:
5) During the pendency of this writ petition, which was filed in 2008, one Mr. Kamlesh Verma has filed I.A. No. 8 of 2010 claiming that he is a social worker and petitioner in Writ Petition No. 2019 of 2009 (M/B) concerning FIR being RC No. 18 dated 05.10.2003 for intervention in the above matter and to assist the Court. By pointing out that it was he who challenged the order of the Governor declining to grant sanction in respect of FIR No. 18 and filed Writ Petition No. 2019 of 2009 which is pending in the Allahabad High Court, Lucknow Bench, sought to intervene to put-forth certain factual details. In the said application, the intervener has also highlighted various earlier orders of this Court. The said I.A. was resisted by the petitioner by pointing out that in the present writ petition the petitioner seeks quashing of the second FIR i.e. R.C. No. 19 only on the ground that there was no such direction in the order dated 18.09.2003 passed by this Court. The intervention application is therefore, misconceived. It is also pointed out that the intervener has filed his writ petition in Lucknow in 2009 and his intervention application was filed on 08.09.2010 whereas the petitioner had filed writ petition in May, 2008 and this Court had issued notice on 15.05.2008. It is also pointed out that the intervener was not associated with the Project matter before this Court at any stage when orders were passed on several dates commencing from 2003 ending with 2009.
6) In the light of the above pleadings of the parties, we heard Mr. Harish Salve, learned senior counsel for the petitioner, Mr. Mohan Parasaran, learned Additional Solicitor General for the Union of India and CBI and Ms. Kamini Jaiswal, learned counsel for the intervener.
7) The relief(s) sought for in the writ petition are reproduced hereunder:-
“I. Issue a Writ, Order or direction in the nature of certiorari quashing the FIR No. R.C. 0062003A0019/2003 dated 05.10.2003 lodged by Superintendent of Police, CBI/ACB, Lucknow and investigation proceedings being made in pursuance thereof.
II. Issue a Writ, Order or direction in the nature of Mandamus restraining the respondent no.2 and 3 from proceeding further in pursuance to the said FIR and direct them to close and drop the said proceedings;
III. Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing the release of all seized bank accounts of the petitioner which have been seized by CBI in pursuance to the impugned FIR.
IV. Issue an appropriate writ, order or direction declaring that this Hon’ble court under Article 32/136/142 of the Constitution of India or the High Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India can not direct the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), an establishment created under the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act, 1946 to investigate a cognizable offence which is alleged to have taken place in a State without the consent of the State Government under Section 6 of the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act, 1946.
V. Issue any other Writ, order or direction which this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper in the circumstances of the present case.”
8) It is clear from the narration of facts as well as the relief(s) sought for in the writ petition that the petitioner is aggrieved of second FIR being No. R.C. 0062003A0019 dated 05.10.2003. It is also clear that the petitioner has assailed the said FIR on the ground that there was no direction by this Court in its order dated 18.09.2003 which could have empowered the CBI to lodge two FIRs, namely, (i) FIR No. R.C. 0062003A0018 dated 05.10.2003 under Section 120-B read with Sections 420, 467, 468, and 471 IPC and Section 13(2) read with Section 13(1)(d) of the P.C. Act against the petitioner as well as 10 other accused persons in respect of Taj Corridor matter and (ii) FIR No. R.C. 0062003A0019 dated 05.10.2003 under Section 13(2) read with Section 13(1)(e) of the P.C. Act against the petitioner only. It is the specific stand of the CBI that in the order dated 18.09.2003 passed by this Court in I.A. No. 376 of 2003 in Writ Petition No. 13381 of 1984 - M.C. Mehta vs. Union of India and Others, (2003) 8 SCC 696, there was a clear direction to register an FIR for investigating into disproportionate assets of the petitioner on the ground that in the said order, it is mentioned that “apart from what has been stated in the reports with regard to the assets, the learned ASG Mr. Altaf Ahmed has submitted that further inquiry/investigation is necessary by the CBI”. It is also their stand that the validity of the aforesaid FIRs was not disturbed by the Allahabad High Court by its order dated 22.10.2003 on the ground that the FIR in question was filed as per the directions of this Court. It is further stated that the second FIR being No. R.C. 0062003A0019 dated 05.10.2003 revealed the details of huge amount of disproportionate assets possessed by the petitioner and her family members beyond their known sources of income.
9) As against the abovesaid stand of the CBI, the petitioner, in the form of rejoinder and supplementary affidavits, has pointed out that all income shown in her accounts in the form of gift or otherwise are genuine and legal covering from 1995 to 2004. It is further pointed out that all orders passed by the Income Tax Authorities have been brought on record and all of them attained finality and no further appeal is pending against them and all the assessments were reopened investigated and re-assessed.
10) The petitioner has also filed a consolidated compilation of orders passed by this Court commencing from 16.07.2003 ending with 27.04.2009. Mr. Harish Salve, learned senior counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Mohan Parasaran, learned ASG took us through all those orders. Among those orders, we are very much concerned about the order dated 18.09.2003. Before going into the various directions issued in the said order, it is also relevant to refer the earlier orders dated 16.07.2003, 21.08.2003 and 11.09.2003. It is clear from those orders that this Court by order dated 30.12.1996 in M.C. Mehta (Taj Trapezium Matter) vs. Union of India and Others, (1997) 2 SCC 353 issued a number of directions to protect the national and world heritage monument, namely, the Taj. Thereafter, a number of interim applications were filed by the persons concerned who were required to shift their business or manufacturing activities. This Court has also appointed a Monitoring Committee to report whether those directions issued by this Court are complied with or not.
11) In the order dated 16.07.2003 – M.C. Mehta vs. Union of India and Others, (2003) 8 SCC 706, this Court, in order to find out who cleared the project, i.e., construction of the ‘Heritage Corridor’ at Agra and for what purpose it was cleared without obtaining necessary sanction from the Department concerned and whether there was any illegality or irregularity committed by the officers/persons, came to the conclusion that inquiry by CBI is necessary. Accordingly, in para 16 of the said order, this Court directed the Director of CBI to see that inquiry with regard to any illegality/irregularity committed by the officers/persons be conducted at the earliest and directed to submit a report to this Court. This Court also directed the CBI to submit Preliminary report within four weeks and final report within two months from 16.07.2003.
12) In the next order dated 21.08.2003, M.C Mehta vs. Union of India, (2003) 8 SCC 711, this Court, after going through the Preliminary Confidential Report submitted by the CBI, directed the higher officer of CBI to interrogate four, five or six more persons who are involved in the decision-making of granting contract for construction of the Taj Heritage Corridor. In the same order, this Court observed that it would be open to the CBI officer to interrogate and verify their assets because it was alleged that Rs. 17 crores were released without proper sanction.
13) The next order is dated 18.09.2003 - M.C. Mehta vs. Union of India and Others, 2003 (8) SCC 696. In this order, this Court referred to the earlier directions and orders, more particularly, the direction to CBI to interrogate the persons involved and verify their assets in view of the fact that it was alleged that an amount of Rs. 17 crores was released without proper sanction. After going through the report of the CBI submitted on 11.09.2003, further time was given to the CBI for verification of the assets of the persons/officers involved. In the course of hearing, the CBI has pointed out that income tax returns of various persons including the petitioner were collected from different income tax authorities. In the course of the said proceedings, apart from various reports with regard to the assets, the learned ASG - Mr. Altaf Ahmed submitted that further inquiry/investigation is necessary by the CBI. Based on his request, this Court issued the following directions:
“13. Considering the aforesaid report and the serious irregularities/illegalities committed in carrying out the so-called Taj Heritage Corridor Project, we direct:
(a) the Central Government to hold immediate departmental inquiry against Shri K.C. Mishra, former Secretary, Environment, Union of India;
(b) the State of Uttar Pradesh to hold departmental inquiry against Shri R.K. Sharma, former Principal Environment Secretary, Shri P.L. Punia, former Principal Secretary to Chief Minister, Shri D.S. Bagga, Chief Secretary and Shri V.K. Gupta, former Secretary, Environment;
(c) NPCC or the competent authority including the Central Government to hold inquiry against Shri S.C. Bali, Managing Director of NPCC;
(d) the State Government as well as the officers concerned of the Central Government are directed to see that departmental inquiry is completed within four months from today. The State of U.P. and the Central Government would appoint respective inquiry officers for holding inquiry, within a period of seven days from today;
(e) it would be open to the State Government if called for to pass order for suspension of the delinquent officers in accordance with the rules;
(f) for the officers and the persons involved in the matter, CBI is directed to lodge an FIR and make further investigation in accordance with law;
(g) CBI shall take appropriate steps for holding investigation against the Chief Minister Ms Mayawati and Naseemuddin Siddiqui, former Minister for Environment, U.P. and other officers involved;
(h) the Income Tax Department is also directed to cooperate in further investigation which is required to be carried out by CBI;
(i) CBI would take into consideration all the relevant Acts i.e. IPC/Prevention of Corruption Act and the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 etc.;
(j) CBI to submit a self-contained note to the Chief Secretary to the Government of Uttar Pradesh as well as to the Cabinet Secretary, Union Government and to the Ministry concerned dealing with NPCC.”
14) A perusal of the orders prior to the order dated 18.09.2003 and several directions in the order dated 18.09.2003 clearly show that this Court was concerned with illegality/irregularity committed by the officers/persons in carrying out the Taj Heritage Corridor Project. The main allegation relates to an amount of Rs. 17 crores which was released by the State Government without proper sanction. It is also clear that in order to find out who cleared the project and for what purpose it was cleared without obtaining necessary sanction from the Department concerned and whether there was any illegality/irregularity committed by the officers/persons, this Court thought an inquiry by CBI was considered necessary. In such a situation, the CBI was directed to interrogate and verify their assets. As rightly pointed out by Mr. Harish Salve, there was no occasion for this Court to consider the alleged disproportionate assets of the petitioner separately that too from 1995 to 2003 when admittedly Rs. 17 crores were released in September, 2002.
15) A thorough scrutiny of all the orders including the specific directions dated 18.09.2003 clearly show that the same was confined only in respect to the case relating to Taj Corridor Project which was the subject- matter of reference before the Special Bench. It is relevant to point out para 13(f) of the order dated 18.09.2003 which makes it clear that the CBI could have lodged only one FIR No. R.C. 0062003A0018 dated 05.10.2003. In other words, inasmuch as there being no consideration of alleged disproportionate assets at any stage of the proceedings while dealing with the Taj Corridor matter, there could not have been and in fact there was no such direction to lodge another FIR being No. R.C. 0062003A0019 dated 05.10.2003 exclusively against the petitioner under the P.C. Act.
16) In this regard, learned senior counsel for the petitioner pressed into service a Constitution Bench decision rendered in the case of State of West Bengal & Ors. vs. Committee for Protection of Democratic Rights, West Bengal & Ors., (2010) 3 SCC 571. After considering various constitutional provisions relating to the State and the Union as well as Section 6 of the DSPE Act, the Bench has concluded thus:
“69. In the final analysis, our answer to the question referred is that a direction by the High Court, in exercise of its jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution, to CBI to investigate a cognizable offence alleged to have been committed within the territory of a State without the consent of that State will neither impinge upon the federal structure of the Constitution nor violate the doctrine of separation of power and shall be valid in law. Being the protectors of civil liberties of the citizens, this Court and the High Courts have not only the power and jurisdiction but also an obligation to protect the fundamental rights, guaranteed by Part III in general and under Article 21 of the Constitution in particular, zealously and vigilantly.
70. Before parting with the case, we deem it necessary to emphasise that despite wide powers conferred by Articles 32 and 226 of the Constitution, while passing any order, the Courts must bear in mind certain self-imposed limitations on the exercise of these constitutional powers. The very plenitude of the power under the said articles requires great caution in its exercise. Insofar as the question of issuing a direction to CBI to conduct investigation in a case is concerned, although no inflexible guidelines can be laid down to decide whether or not such power should be exercised but time and again it has been reiterated that such an order is not to be passed as a matter of routine or merely because a party has levelled some allegations against the local police. This extraordinary power must be exercised sparingly, cautiously and in exceptional situations where it becomes necessary to provide credibility and instil confidence in investigations or where the incident may have national and international ramifications or where such an order may be necessary for doing complete justice and enforcing the fundamental rights. Otherwise CBI would be flooded with a large number of cases and with limited resources, may find it difficult to properly investigate even serious cases and in the process lose its credibility and purpose with unsatisfactory investigations.
71. In Minor Irrigation & Rural Engg. Services, U.P. v. Sahngoo Ram Arya this Court had said that an order directing an enquiry by CBI should be passed only when the High Court, after considering the material on record, comes to a conclusion that such material does disclose a prima facie case calling for an investigation by CBI or any other similar agency. We respectfully concur with these observations.”
17) As rightly pointed out that in the absence of any direction by this Court to lodge an FIR into the matter of alleged disproportionate assets against the petitioner, the Investigating Officer could not take resort to Section 157 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (in short ‘the Code’) wherein the Officer-in-charge of a Police Station is empowered under Section 156 of the Code to investigate on information received or otherwise. Section 6 of the DSPE Act prohibits the CBI from exercising its powers and jurisdiction without the consent of the Government of the State. It is pointed out on the side of the petitioner that, in the present case, no such consent was obtained by the CBI and submitted that the second FIR against the petitioner is contrary to Section 157 of the Code and Section 6 of the DSPE Act. It is not in dispute that the consent was declined by the Governor of the State and in such circumstance also the second FIR No. R.C. 0062003A0019 dated 05.10.2003 is not sustainable.
18) Mr. Mohan Parasaran, learned ASG as well as Ms. Kamini Jaiswal, learned counsel for the intervener after taking us through the order dated 18.09.2003 and other orders submitted that the CBI was well within its power to pursue the second FIR No. R.C. 0062003A0019 dated 05.10.2003. Among various directions, Mr. Mohan Parasaran, learned ASG very much pressed into service the direction in para 13(g) of the order dated 18.09.2003. The said direction reads as under:-
“(g) CBI shall take appropriate steps for holding investigation against the Chief Minister Ms Mayawati and Naseemuddin Siddiqui, former Minister for Environment, U.P. and other officers involved;” According to Mr. Mohan Parasaran, liberty was granted by this Court to proceed against the petitioner. He also relied on para 9 of the order dated 25.10.2004 – M.C. Mehta vs. Union of India and Others, (2007) 1 SCC 137, which reads as under:-
“Re: FIR RC 0062003A0019
9. The further investigation report filed by CBI in this connection while indicating large-scale irregularities does not in fact show any link between such irregularities and the Taj Corridor matter which is the subject-matter of reference before the Special Bench. CBI therefore is at liberty to proceed with and take action on the basis of their investigation in respect of this FIR. In the event any link is disclosed in the course of such investigation between facts as found and the Taj Corridor Project, CBI will bring the same to the notice of this Court. In any event, CBI will be entitled to take action on the basis of the investigation as it may think fit.” In addition to the above, he also pressed into service para 4 of the order dated 19.07.2004 – M.C. Mehta vs. Union of India and Others, (2007) 1 SCC
136. The said order reads as under: -
“4. CBI is permitted further eight weeks’ time to complete the investigation in respect of FIR No. RC 0062003A0018. As far as FIR No. RC 0062003A0019 is concerned, three months’ time is granted.” In view of the argument of Mr. Mohan Parasaran as well as Ms. Kamini Jaiswal relying on the above directions, we have gone through all those orders meticulously. According to us, the entire issue revolves around the order dated 18.09.2003 passed by this Court as the FIR was filed immediately thereafter on 05.10.2003. The said FIR as well as the counter affidavit filed by the CBI states that the FIR has been filed as per the directions contained in the order dated 18.09.2003. A perusal of the same shows that the Assistant Registrar of this Court has been described as the Complainant. On going through all the orders, we are of the view that the said objection of the petitioner cannot be rejected. A perusal of the series of orders passed in W.P. No. 13381 of 1984 - M.C. Mehta vs. Union of India and Others clearly show that the order dated 18.09.2003 is preceded by other orders issued from time to time only in connection with Taj Heritage Corridor Project. While considering the directions issued in the order dated 18.09.2003, it is incumbent to refer the orders dated 16.07.2003, 21.08.2003 and 11.09.2003. We have already noted that those previous three orders passed by this Court state that the CBI was directed to interrogate the persons involved and also to verify their assets because it was alleged that the amount of Rs. 17 crores was released without proper sanction. It is relevant to mention that in the order dated 25.10.2003 (which we have already quoted in the earlier paras) this Court mentioned that it was not monitoring disproportionate assets case since no link could be found between the Taj Corridor matter and the assets of the petitioner.
(para 9 of the order dated 25.10.2004) It is also relevant to refer the next order dated 07.08.2006 wherein the same was once again reiterated. It is true that in the order dated 25.10.2004, liberty was granted to the CBI that in the event any link is disclosed in the course of such investigation between the Taj Corridor Project and the assets, CBI is free to bring it to the notice of this Court. The fact remains that the investigation report filed by the CBI before this Court which was considered on 25.10.2004 shows that large-scale irregularities does not show any link between such irregularities and the Taj Corridor matter. The said finding/conclusion by this Court was based on the investigation report of the CBI. In view of the same, we are satisfied that CBI cannot be permitted to take the view that two cases, namely, Taj Corridor and Disproportionate Assets case are same and the investigation was done in both the cases as per the directions of this Court. After reading the entire orders dated 18.09.2003 and 25.10.2004, the stand of the CBI is to be rejected as unacceptable.
19) It is also brought to our notice that merely because various orders of this Court including the order dated 18.09.2003 has been communicated to various authorities in terms of the provisions of the rules of this Court, the CBI is not justified in putting the Assistant Registrar of this Court as informant/complainant. Further as rightly pointed out by Mr. Salve, the complainant/Assistant Registrar would not and cannot be a witness in the case to corroborate the statements made in the FIR No. R.C. 0062003A0019 dated 05.10.2003. As rightly pointed out, proceeding further, as if the said Assistant Registrar of this Court made a complaint cannot be sustained.
20) We have already pointed out after reading various orders of this Court which show that Taj Corridor was the subject matter of reference before the Special Bench. Various directions issued in the order dated 18.09.2003 have to be read in the light of the previous orders dated 16.07.2003, 21.08.2003 and 11.09.2003 as well as subsequent orders dated 25.10.2004 and 07.08.2006 wherein this Court has clarified that it was not monitoring the disproportionate assets case. We are satisfied that reading of all the orders of this Court clearly show the direction to lodge FIR was issued only with respect to Taj Corridor matter, more particularly, irregularities therein. In fact, the direction was confined to find out as to who cleared the project of Taj Corridor and for what purpose it was cleared and whether there was any illegality or irregularity committed by officers and other persons concerned in the State. We have already noted all those orders which clearly state that the CBI is free to interrogate and verify the assets of the officers/persons relating to release of Rs. 17 crores in connection with Taj Corridor matter.
21) As discussed above and after reading all the orders of this Court which are available in the ‘compilation’, we are satisfied that this Court being the ultimate custodian of the fundamental rights did not issue any direction to the CBI to conduct a roving inquiry against the assets of the petitioner commencing from 1995 to 2003 even though the Taj Heritage Corridor Project was conceived only in July, 2002 and an amount of Rs. 17 crores was released in August/September, 2002. The method adopted by the CBI is unwarranted and without jurisdiction. We are also satisfied that the CBI has proceeded without proper understanding of various orders dated 16.07.2003, 21.08.2003, 18.09.2003, 25.10.2003 and 07.08.2003 passed by this Court. We are also satisfied that there was no such direction relating to second FIR, namely, FIR No. R.C. 0062003A0019 dated 05.10.2003. We have already referred to the Constitution Bench decision of this Court in Committee for Protection of Democratic Rights, West Bengal (supra) wherein this Court observed that only when this Court after considering material on record comes to a conclusion that such material does disclose a prima facie case calling for investigation by the CBI for the alleged offence, an order directing inquiry by the CBI could be passed and that too after giving opportunity of hearing to the affected person. We are satisfied that there was no such finding or satisfaction recorded by this Court in the matter of disproportionate assets of the petitioner on the basis of the status report dated 11.09.2003 and, in fact, the petitioner was not a party before this Court in the case in question. From the perusal of those orders, we are also satisfied that there could not have been any material before this Court about the disproportionate assets case of the petitioner beyond the Taj Corridor Project case and there was no such question or issue about disproportionate assets of the petitioner. In view of the same, giving any direction to lodge FIR relating to disproportionate assets case did not arise.
22) We finally conclude that anything beyond the Taj Corridor matter was not the subject-matter of reference before the Taj Corridor Bench. Since the order dated 18.09.2003 does not contain any specific direction regarding lodging of FIR in the matter of disproportionate assets case against the petitioner, CBI is not justified in proceeding with the FIR No. R.C. 0062003A0019 dated 05.10.2003. In view of the above discussion, we are satisfied that the CBI exceeded its jurisdiction in lodging FIR No. R.C. 0062003A0019 dated 05.10.2003 in the absence of any direction from this Court in the order dated 18.09.2003 or in any subsequent orders.
23) Regarding the intervention application - I.A. No. 8 of 2010 filed by Shri Kamlesh Verma, though an objection was raised about his right to intervene in the matter, it is not in dispute that against the rejection of the sanction to proceed against the petitioner by the State, he had preferred a Writ Petition (C) No. 2019 of 2009 in the Allahabad High Court which is still pending. It is pointed out that intervener was not associated with the Taj Corridor matter before this Court at any stage when the orders dated 16.07.2003, 21.08.2003, 11.09.2003, 18.09.2003, 19.07.2004, 25.10.2004, 07.08.2006, 27.11.2006, 06.08.2007, 10.10.2007 and 27.04.2007 were passed. It is true that the intervener has no legal right to intervene in the matter of this kind where CBI has been prosecuting the case vigorously against the petitioner. Inasmuch as the intervener has challenged the order of the Governor of U.P. declining to grant sanction to prosecute the petitioner and the said matter is pending in the Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court, in order to assist the Court, we heard his counsel Ms. Kamini Jaiswal. It is true that this Court has held that when investigating agency like CBI and Union of India are contesting the matter effectively, the third party was not permitted to canvass correctness of the judgment by way of PIL (Union of India & Anr. vs. W.N. Chadha, 1993 (Supp) 4 SCC 260) and Janata Dal vs. H.S. Chowdhary & Ors., (1991) 3 SCC 756. While accepting the above principles reiterated in those decisions, in view of the peculiar facts that the intervener - Kamlesh Verma is pursuing his writ petition against the petitioner in the High Court, we heard his counsel to assist the Court. In view of the above special circumstance, we allow I.A. No. 8 of 2010 and the same cannot be cited as a precedent for other cases.
24) In the light of the above discussion, we hold that in the absence of any specific direction from this Court in the order dated 18.09.2003 or any subsequent orders, the CBI has exceeded its jurisdiction in lodging FIR No. R.C. 0062003A0019 dated 05.10.2003. The impugned FIR is without jurisdiction and any investigation pursuant thereto is illegal and liable to be quashed, accordingly quashed. The writ petition is allowed.

This nation is no longer like a wife to me,
and I am no longer like a husband to her.
Tell Israel that they must stop acting like a prostitute; she must stop worshiping idols.
Israel must stop worshiping idols. She must stop acting like a woman who leaves her husband and goes to other men.
3 If she does not stop,
I will take her clothes off her and make her naked like she was when she was born.

Israel decided to hurry after these idols whom she loved, to worship other gods.
She thought that it was those gods who gave her bread and water.
She thought that it was those gods who gave her wool, linen, and olive oil, and also wine to drink.
6 So I will block Israel's road with thornbushes,
and I will build a wall around her,
so that she cannot find the path to take.
7 Israel will run after her idols
but she will not find them.
She will search for her false gods,
but she will not find them.
Then, like a prostitute who wants to return to her husband, she will say to me, 'I will go back to you, the one I loved at first,
because my life was better with you than it is now.'
8 The people will say this, because they did not know that it was I, Yahweh, who had given them their grain, new wine, and olive oil.
It was I who had given them much silver and gold so they would become wealthy.
But then they made all that gold and silver into objects to use in worshiping the idol Baal.
9 Therefore I will take away from Israel all the grain I gave them.
When the wheat is ready for harvest, I will keep them from getting it.
The new wine that I gave them, I will take it away.
I will take away from them all the wool and linen I gave them to make clothes for themselves,
the clothes that covered their nakedness.
10 I will treat Israel as a man treats his wife when he finds her with other men.

No one will be able rescue her from what I will do to her.
11 I will make the people in Israel stop holding their celebrations;
they will stop holding their festivals every year.
They will no longer celebrate the beginning of every month.
They will no longer celebrate the Sabbath days.
They will no longer be able to hold the festivals scheduled throughout the year.
12 I will destroy all of Israel's grapevines and fig trees.
This is because Israel is like a woman who says, 'These were the things that my lovers gave me in payment.'
I, Yahweh, will turn those places into a forest, a thicket in which no vines can grow,
and where wild animals will devour any fruit that grows there.'
13 I will punish this woman named Israel for all the times that she burned incense to worship the Baal idols.
She decorated herself with rings and jewelry, as a prostitute would adorn herself for her lovers.
She used to follow her lovers—like Israel has gone after the Baals—those false gods that she worshiped.
And she forgot about me." This is what Yahweh says.
14 "I will lead her into the wilderness and tell her that I love her.
I will persuade her to love me again.
15 I will give her vineyards back to her once more,
and in the Valley of Achor I will cause her to hope once more.
She will answer me with love and delight, as it was back in the first days when we first loved each other—
when I set her free, and she came up out of Egypt.
16 At that time,
Israel will call me, 'My Husband,' as a woman would say to her human husband.
She will no longer call out to a god, 'My Baal,' but she will call out to me as 'My Husband.'
17 I will not allow Israel to speak the names of the images of Baal that she used to worship.
My people will forget the names of those Baals and their idols, and my people Israel will never worship them again.
18 At that time I will make a covenant for them:
it will be with all the wild animals and birds,
and even with the little animals that crawl along the ground.
They will never harm my people again.
I will promise to remove all the weapons that are used for fighting battles,
the bows and arrows, and the swords, and every war, I will take them all away and destroy all of them.
And I will let all of my people rest in peace;
they will be not be afraid anymore.
19 You will be like my wife forever, Israel.
I will promise myself to you, by doing what is right, and by loving what is just.
I promise to love you and to show you kindness even when you do not deserve it.
20 I will keep my promise to you, Israel. I will never lie to you;
and you will come to know me—my name is Yahweh.
21 At that time,
I will help you," says Yahweh.
"I will give a command to the sky,
and the sky will pour out rain onto the ground.
22 And the ground will provide grain, new wine and olive trees, and they will grow in the Valley of Jezreel.
23 At that time, I will take care of the Israelite people
as a farmer plants his own land and takes care of his crops.
I will show my love to those people whom I called 'Not my People'.
And those whom I called 'Not my People',
I will now call by a new name: 'You are my People'.
They will say to me, 'You are our God.'"

Map It!
DBC Week 4: Challenge #7
May 22, 2015
So you want to know about the enumerable map method, eh? Well, first let's talk about what an enumerable is. And please, if at any point you are reading this and you feel that I, well, could use some help, just stop reading. Go ahead and click the Contact link up above, send me an email and tell me what you think. Please.
So then, I've been looking at it like this:
An enumerable is a method that can count across a list
of elements. It can take that list and do something to each element in turn. By
the way, the enumerator is the thing that you are counting across, yup, the
array, the hash or the range. These enumerables work similarly to a loop, but
there's not the risk of the loop spiraling out of control and running on forever.
The enumerable is going to take some action on each element once, or in the case of some methods it will
take the action only as many times as you tell it to. There's a bunch of these
enumerables and although they all act in a similar fashion they all have a
specific job that they do. And please, focus, we're only going to talk about
the enumerable method map here.
Let's look at it with an example, so that all these words that sound so similar don't look like the same thing.
So there's an enumerable method called map. Now what map does is return an array containing the results of running a block of code once for every element in the enumerator. I know that didn't help, but think of this:
You just got a new puppy, and he's so damn cute. But you took him to the dog park, he got in a scuffle and now has a nasty infection. You went to the vet and got antibiotics for him.  Good thing you have started programming! You now have the tools to keep track of the times that you have to give him the meds.
First thing you do is write down all the hours when you are going to give the puppy his meds in a simple array:
med_times = [9, 12, 3, 6, 9, 12, 3, 6]
So there you have the med schedule stored in a simple array (an enumerator). But what good is that you say? Well it's 2:30 and you can't remember what the next med time is. But you know that you have an enumerable method called map that you can call on the array. If you call the method on your array without a block of code it will return an enumerator.  What you just did, in the simplest terms, was tell your array to output a "map" of the elements in the array. Because you didn't supply map with a specific action to take on each element, the array was returned.
Turns out you woke up and gave him meds at 8, and now you need to change all the times in your list. No problem! This is what map was made for. Remember? If you call it with a code block, it will do something to each element of the list. You need to subtract 1 from each of the elements in the list. Map it!
p med_times.map { |i| i - 1 } #=> [8, 11, 2, 5,
8, 11, 2, 5]
You just told your list, through the method map, to take every element, pick it up, and subtract one from it. The bonus happens to be that map is going to take the result of subtracting one from each time in the list and return it in a new list. The beauty of map is that it doesn't change the original array, it returns a new one.
Now, you get home from the market and your roommate accuses you of not having given the pup the meds all day.  Check it out:
med_times.map { |i| puts "Chico got his meds at
#{i}" } #=>
"Chico got his meds at 9"
"Chico got his meds at 12"
"Chico got his meds at 3"
"Chico got his meds at 6"
"Chico got his meds at 9"
"Chico got his meds at 12"
"Chico got his meds at 3"
"Chico got his meds at 6"
How 'bout that, eh?
That part in between the curly brackets is the code block. What you did was take that your original array med_times and used map to tell it to take every element and place it in the sentence provided. Map then outputs the sentence in the code block with the times from the list placed into it. Now your roomate can see that you are on top of things.
This is just the start, just a quick tease into the powers of map and what an enumerable method can do. Once you dive into the Ruby Documentation you will find that there are other enumerable methods that you can use to keep track of your various schedules and wow your friends with. Just remember some important things. You have to call the enumerable with a block to get it to do something, and keep in mind it is going to do that something to every element, not just a few. If you don't give the block you are going to get back some big number, unless you "p" it. You will not change the original enumerator with map unless you add an "!", but that changes with some methods. Do yourself a favor and go read the documentation: Ruby Enumberable Doc. Happy Reading!

Logan Paul hits LA club after losing KSI boxing match
Logan Paul isn’t letting his recent boxing match defeat at the hands of KSI (or his subsequent wish for the result to be appealed) dampen his mood.
Indeed, the controversial YouTuber put his sporting woes to one side as he was spotted partying at an LA night spot last night.
The 24-year-old was kicking back at Hyde nightclub, weeks after the boxing extravaganza on 9 November at the Staples Center.
Also spotted at the nightspot was I Can’t Feel My Face singer The Weeknd and Kylie Jenner’s ex Tyga.
Logan’s night out follows comments in a recent video posted to social media that he’s not a ‘sore loser’ since losing the high profile fight.
Explaining why he was launching an official appeal against the result after being deducted two points (‘the punishment simply did not fit the crime’), Logan said: ‘My team and I have decided to file an official appeal for the fight because we don’t believe the outcome is right.

‘It just resonates with me to my core.
‘I really had to check myself and make sure I wasn’t doing this because I was afraid of losing.’
He went on: ‘Historically I’ve taken big Ls. By no means am I afraid of losing.
‘I welcome it because it’s the only way I tend to experience growth in my life.
‘But I truthfully, 100 per cent believe I did not lost this fight.’
Logan’s appeal is now being formally investigated.

Understanding Preliminary Reports
After months of searching, you’ve finally found it -- your perfect dream
home. But is it perfect?
Will you be purchasing more than just a beautiful home? Will you also be
acquiring liens placed on the property by prior owners? Have documents
been recorded that will restrict your use of the property?
The preliminary report will provide you with the opportunity, prior to
purchase, to review matters affecting your property which will be
excluded from coverage under your title insurance policy unless removed
or eliminated before your purchase.
To help you better understand this often bewildering subject, the Land
Title Association has answered some of the questions most commonly asked
about preliminary reports.
What is a Preliminary Report?
A preliminary report is a report prepared prior to issuing a policy of
title insurance that shows the ownership of a specific parcel of land,
together with the liens and encumbrances thereon which will not be
covered under a subsequent title insurance policy.
What role does a Preliminary Report play in the real estate process?
A preliminary report contains the conditions under which the title
company will issue a particular type of title insurance policy.
The preliminary report lists, in advance of purchase, title defects,
liens and encumbrances which would be excluded from coverage if the
requested title insurance policy were to be issued as of the date of the
preliminary report. The report may then be reviewed and discussed by the
parties to a real estate transaction and their agents.
Thus, a preliminary report provides the opportunity to seek the removal
of items referenced in the report which are objectionable to the buyer
prior to purchase.
When and how is the Preliminary Report produced?
Shortly after escrow is opened, an order will be placed with the title
company which will then begin the process involved in producing the
report.
This process calls for the assembly and review of certain recorded
matters relative to both the property and the parties to the
transaction. Examples of recorded matters include a deed of trust
recorded against the property or a lien recorded against the buyer or
seller for an unpaid court award or unpaid taxes.
These recorded matters are listed numerically as “exceptions” in the
preliminary report. They will remain exceptions from title insurance
coverage unless eliminated or released prior to the transfer of title.
What should I look for when reading my Preliminary Report?
You will be interested, primarily, in the extent of your ownership
rights. This means you will want to review the ownership interest in the
property you will be buying as well as any claims, restrictions or
interests of other people involving the property.
The report will note in a statement of vesting the degree, quantity,
nature and extent of the owner’s interest in the real property. The most
common form of interest is “fee simple” or “fee” which is the highest
type of interest an owner can have in land.
Liens, restrictions and interests of others which are being excluded
from coverage will be listed numerically as exceptions in the
preliminary report. These may be claims by creditors who have liens or
liens for payment of taxes or assessments. There may also be recorded
restrictions which have been placed in a prior deed or contained in what
are termed CC&Rs- covenants, conditions and restrictions. Finally,
interests of third parties are not uncommon and may include easements
given by a prior owner which limit your use of the property. When you
buy property you may not wish to have these claims or restrictions on
your property. Instead, you may want to clear the unwanted items prior
to purchase.
In addition to the limitations noted above, a printed list of standard
exceptions and exclusions listing items not covered by your title
insurance policy may be attached as an exhibit item to your report.
Unlike the numbered exclusions, which are specific to the property you
are buying, these are standard exceptions and exclusions appearing in
title insurance policies. The review of this section is important, as it
sets forth matters which will not be covered under your title insurance
policy, but which you may wish to investigate, such as governmental laws
or regulations governing building and zoning.
Will the Preliminary Report disclose the complete condition of the title
to a property?
No. It is important to note that the preliminary report is not a written
representation as to the condition of title and may not list all liens,
defects, and encumbrances affecting title to the land, but merely report
the current ownership and matters that the title company will exclude
from coverage if a title insurance policy should later be issued.
Is a Preliminary Report the same thing as title insurance?
Definitely not.
A preliminary report is an offer to insure, it is not a report of a
complete history of recorded documents relating to the property. A
preliminary report is a statement of terms and conditions of the offer
to issue a title insurance policy, not a representation as to the
condition of title.
These distinctions are important for the following reasons: first, no
contract or liability exists until the title insurance policy is issued;
second, the title insurance policy is issued to a particular insured
person and others cannot claim the benefit of the policy.
Can I be protected against title risks prior to the close of the real
estate transaction?
Yes, you can. Title companies can protect your interest through the
issuance of “binders” and “commitments”.
A binder is an agreement to issue insurance giving temporary coverage
until such time as a formal policy is issued. A commitment is a title
insurer’s contractual obligation to insure title to real property once
its stated requirements have been met.
Discuss with your title insurer the best means to protect your
interests.
How do I go about clearing unwanted liens and encumbrances?
You will wish to carefully review the preliminary report. Should the
title to the property be clouded, you and your agents will work with the
seller and the seller’s agents to clear the unwanted liens and
encumbrances prior to taking title.
Who can I turn to for further information regarding Preliminary Reports?
Your real estate agent and your attorney, should you choose to use one,
will help explain the preliminary report to you. Your escrow and title
company can also be helpful sources.
CONCLUSION
In a business which is directed at risk elimination, the efforts leading
to the production of the preliminary report, which is designed to
facilitate the issuance of a policy of title insurance, is perhaps the
most important function undertaken.

Functions¶
Sources¶
This lesson is partly based on the Software Carpentry group’s lessons on Programming with Python.
What is a function?¶
A function is a block of organized, reusable code that can make your code more effective, clearer to read and easier to handle. You can think functions as little self-contained programs that can perform a specific task which you can use repeatedly in your code. One of the basic principles in good programming is “not to repeat yourself”, i.e. you shouldn’t have duplicate lines of code in your script. Functions are a way to avoid such situations and they can save you a lot of time and effort as you don’t need to retell the computer what to do every time it does a common task, such as converting temperatures from Fahrenheit to Celsius.
Anatomy of a function¶
Let’s consider again the task of converting temperatures from Fahrenheit to Celsius. Such an operation is a fairly common task when dealing with temperature data.
Let’s define our first function called celsius_to_fahr
:
>>> def celsius_to_fahr(temp):
... return 9/5 * temp + 32
The function definition opens with the keyword def
followed by the name of the function and a list of parameter names in parentheses.
The body of the function — the statements that are executed when it runs — is indented below the definition line.
When we call the function, the values we pass to it are assigned to the corresponding parameter variables so that we can use them inside the function (e.g., the variable temp
in this function example).
Inside the function, we use a return statement to define the value that should be given when the function is used.
Calling functions¶
Let’s try running our function. Calling our self-defined function is no different from calling any other function such as
print()
. You need to call it with its name and send your value to the required parameter(s) inside the parentheses:>>> freezing_point = celsius_to_fahr(0) >>> print('Freezing point of water in Fahrenheit:', freezing_point) Freezing point of water in Fahrenheit: 32.0 >>> print('Boiling point of water in Fahrenheit:', celsius_to_fahr(100)) Boiling point of water in Fahrenheit: 212.0
Now that we know how to create a function to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, let’s create another function called
kelvin_to_celsius
:>>> def kelvin_to_celsius(temp_k): ... return temp_k - 273.15
And let’s use it in a similar way as the earlier one:
>>> absolute_zero = kelvin_to_celsius(temp_k=0) >>> print('Absolute zero in Celsius:', absolute_zero) Absolute zero in Celsius: -273.15
What about converting Kelvins to Fahrenheit? We could write out an own formula for it, but we don’t need to. Instead, we can compose it by using the two functions we have already created and calling those from the function we are now creating:
>>> def kelvin_to_fahr(temp_k): ... # Kelvin in celsius ... temp_c = kelvin_to_celsius(temp_k) ... # Celsius in Fahrenheit ... temp_f = celsius_to_fahr(temp_c) ... # Return the result ... return temp_f
Let’s use the function:
>>> absolute_zero_f = kelvin_to_fahr(temp_k=0) >>> print('Absolute zero in Fahrenheit:', absolute_zero_f) Absolute zero in Fahrenheit: -459.66999999999996

Abstract: We present an algorithm that uses multiple cues to recover shading and reﬂectance intrinsic images from a single image. Using both color information and a classiﬁer trained to recognize gray-scale patterns, each image derivative is classiﬁed as being caused by shading or a change in the surface’s reﬂectance. Generalized Belief Propagation is then used to propagate information from areas where the correct classiﬁcation is clear to areas where it is ambiguous. We also show results on real images.

Burna Boy’s Grammy Nomination: Watch the moment his grandfather prayed for him to win a Grammy award
by Nana YawBurna Boy’s album, African Giant was yesterday nominated in the Best World Album category at the next edition of the Grammy Awards slated for January 26, 2020.
Social media users praised him for his enormous work but a video that surfaced after the nomination is what caught our attention that the spoken prayers of the old play a major role in the lives of the young.
In the video, it was seen that Burna Boy’s grandfather was praying for him to win a Grammy award and the video we learnt is a video that surfaced a few months ago.
In the video, the singer’s grandfather prayed for him that his next award is going to be a ‘Grammy Award’ and indeed he’s on the road to winning a Grammy’s.
His grandpa’s prayer will become a reality should he win that award category.
Burna Boy’s album, African Giant got nominated in the Best World Album category alongside Altin Gün for Gece, Bokanté & Metropole Orkest Conducted By Jules Buckley for What Heat, Nathalie Joachim With Spektral Quartet for Fanm D’Ayiti, and Angelique Kidjo for Celia.

Just had the first day of the Scottish Ruby Conference. The venue was awesome, there'll doubtless be lots of good pictures up on places like flickr in due course, but here's a couple I snapped with my Nokia n900. The three track rooms were the Conference Hall, the Great Hall and my personal favourite the "new" library.
The talks were interesting as always, personal highlight for me had to be Jim Weirich managing to go from particle physics to functional programming seamlessly in a single talk!
my talk was on breaking things with ruby and was a pretty quick look at the world of penetration testing and some of the cool projects (primarily Metasploit) which use ruby in this area. My slides can be found here and if people are interested in more information on the topics I covered here's some good linkage to start with.
Metasploit
The Main Metasploit Website . This is the best place to start. There's also a wiki and source code repository on their redmine site here
Metasploit Unleashed. This is a free training course from Offensive Security which offers a good place to start with Metasploit, and covers a lot more ground than I could today.
Blog-wise there's a couple of places I consistently find good information on Metasploit. Carnal0wnage's blog and the Dark Operator blogs have lots of posts on what can be done with Metasploit, as well as the Official Metasploit Blog of course.
Also on twitter following @hdmoore, @carnal0wnage and @egyp7 is a good place to start.
Lastly if anyone's looking for videos demonstrating Metasploit, there's quite a few on Security Tube amongst other places.
