Counsel for MPCB Mr. D.M. Gupte, Adv. Ms. Supriya Dangre, Adv. DATE : 11th December, 2013 JUDGMENT
1 This application arises out of Civil action initiated by Applicant-Lokmangal Sanstha. Originally, Lokmangal Sanstha, filed Civil suit bearing Regular Civil Suit No.55/2003 against the Respondents in the Court of Civil Judge (J.D.), Chamorshi. Because the suit involves substantial civil dispute pertaining to environmental issues and in view of jurisdictional bar under Section 29(2) of the National Green Tribunal Act, 2010, the suit was transferred to this Tribunal.
(J) Application No.22/2013 (WZ) 2 2 The suit filed in the Civil Court was for declaration that permission dated June 29th, 2001 granted in favour of Respondent Nos.1 and 4 is void and therefore, construction of Sai Rice Mill in the proximity of Lokmangal Sanstha is illegal and void-ab-initio. In addition, Applicant Lokmangal Sanstha also prayed for permanent prohibitory injunction restraining the said Respondents from operating Sai Rice Mill unit or alternatively to take preventive measures to stop the nuisance caused by the air and noise pollution created due to running of the Rice Mill. 3 According to Applicant-Lokmangal Sanstha, it is a registered institution dedicated to upliftment of women in general and for their financial empowerment in particular. The Applicant runs a Training Institute which caters vocational programmes such as Typing skills, sewing, bamboo handicrafts, and preparation of herbal medicines, literacy classes, so on and so forth. The training institute is being run on land bearing old Survey No.396/2 and 396/3 (now S.No.8 and 9) which were originally owned by one Dilasagram Society. The latter gave that land on lease to Applicant Lokmangal Sanstha for a period of 30 years in or about 1997. Applicant Lokmangal Sanstha thereafter constructed building for the training institute as well as staff quarters on the said land. There is a big well of about 20 ft. diameter in the campus of institute for drawing potable water to be used by the inmates of the institute and staff members. (J) Application No.22/2013 (WZ) 3 4 It is the case of Applicant Lokmangal Sanstha that the Respondents Nos.1 to 4 made certain encroachment over agricultural lands bearing S.No.6 and 7 and have constructed Sai Rice Mill at a short distance of about 10 ft from the residential quarters. So also, the construction of Rice Mill is in the close proximity of the premises of vocational classes of the training institute. The construction permission was granted by Respondent No.2 Gram Panchyat without calling of objections and without following the relevant Rules. The Rice Mill is being run constantly for 24 hours. The constant pounding sound and banging sound emanating from the Rice Mill causes serious sound pollution, which creates disturbance in the work of the training institute. The husk emanating from the Rice Mill fly helter-skelter. It floats in the nearby area and ultimately gets deposited in the kitchen and other parts of the institution as well as into the well which provides drinking water to the in-mates. The frequent flow of solid particles of chaff/husk also causes health hazard to the trainees, staff members, and others who are required to be in the premises of Applicant-Lokmangal Sanstha. The institute of Applicant-Lokmangal Sanstha is a social welfare organization, situated at village Ghot, Tq. Chamorshi, District Gadchiroli.
5 All the Respondents were duly served with the Notices. It appears that original Respondent No.4 died during pendency (J) Application No.22/2013 (WZ) 4 of the suit. His Legal Representatives were brought on record as Respondent No.4(a) to 4(e).
6 Respondent No.1 filed W.S./reply-Affidavit and resisted the Application. He denied all the material averments made by Applicant Lokmangal Sanstha. He contended that the application is barred by limitation and as such, this Tribunal should not entertain the same. He denied the allegation that the Rice Mill is constructed on encroached portion land no.6 and 7. He also disputed that Lokmangal Sanstha has been given agricultural land bearing Old S.no.396/2 and 396/3 (now S.No.8 and 9) by Dilasgram Society on lease for a period of 30 years. He flatly denied that unit of the Rice Mill causes air pollution and sound pollution, particularly, endangering the rights of Applicant Lokmangal Sanstha. He emphatically denied that Applicant Lokmangal Sanstha has raised any substantial environmental dispute by way of filing the present Application. 7 According to contesting Respondents, inside the Rice Mill, pipes are fixed for emitting of the husk which is collected near inner wall of the Rice Mill, within its premises. The husk is useful for power generation plant as a fuel and hence it is immediately disposed of. There is no possibility that husk emitting from the Rice Mill would fly in the air, and will get deposited in the premises of Applicant Lokmangal Sanstha. There is no harsh sound created due to running of the Rice Mill and therefore, there is no substance in the allegation that there (J) Application No.22/2013 (WZ) 5 is noise pollution because due to running of the Rice Mill. According to the contesting Respondents, the Rice Mill is not manufacturing unit as such, but it is only processing unit. In this processing, grains of the rice are mechanically separated from paddy and thereafter are polished. The Polishing work is done mainly by rubber rolls and separators are used for segregating husk from polished rice. No heavy machinery or furnace is used in the Rice Mill. The material collected while polishing the rice is subsequently used for extraction of edible oil, popularly known as "Rice Bran Oil". Thus, it is contended that there is no waste material left out nor any Pollution is caused by the Rice Mill. In nutshell, it is the case of Respondents that Rice Mill does not cause any actionable nuisance or environmental harm for which the Applicant Lokmangal Sanstha can ventilate grievances through the present Application. Hence, the Respondents sought dismissal of the Application. 8 We have heard Learned Counsel for the contesting parties and MPCB. Though MPCB has not separately contested the matter, yet, it being regulatory and monitoring agency, we had directed the MPCB to place on record the status report of juxtaposition. That Report is filed by the MPCB. We have perused the relevant documents including depositions recorded in the Trial Court.
9 The relevant issues, culled out for determination, may be stated as follows :
(J) Application No.22/2013 (WZ) 6
1) Whether the application is barred by limitation and liable to be dismissed for such a reason?
2) Whether Applicant Lokmangal Sanstha has made out a case to demonstrate substantial environmental dispute and existence of actionable nuisance of air pollution/noise pollution on account of running of adjoining Sai Rice Mill, run by contesting Respondents?
3) Whether Applicant-Lokmangal Sanstha is entitled to claim relief of declaration and injunction or of any other nature? If so, to what relief Applicant Lokmangal Sanstha is entitled?
For reasons discussed hereinafter, we have recorded our findings in the last but one paragraph of the judgment.
10 Before we proceed to deal with the environmental issues, arising out of the installation of the Rice Mill, let it be noted that there are certain guide-lines issued by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) for installation of such industries. These guide-lines are required to be followed by the State Pollution Control Board while granting Consent to Rice Mills. The handling, storage and transport of the rice husk are the subject matter of mandatory guidelines issued by the CPCB which needs to be implemented through the consent mechanism. One of the main recommendations is that there shall be a close enclosure for blowing of rice husk. It is mill type enclosure which shall be closed from all the sides and have an access for loading and handling of the rice husk. Obviously, no activity regarding blowing and storage of rice husk shall be carried out, outside the said enclosure. (J) Application No.22/2013 (WZ) 7 11 The important points in these guidelines are mentioned here. Rice husk is the largest byproduct of Rice Milling Industry which amounts to 22-24 per cent of the total paddy. The unit needs to handle large quantity of husk and store them within the unit premises till husk is used or sold. During the Milling of the paddy, rice husk is mechanically separated out in the de-husker machine and husk is conveyed to the storage yard through the husk conveyance system. This conveyance system varies based on the size of the Rice Mill. CPCB has categorized the rice mills with the capacity less than three tons per hour as small mills, 3 to 15 tons per hour capacity as Medium and greater than 15 tons per capacity at large. In most of the small mills, husk from the de-husker is simple blown to the storage yard with the help of blowers. In Medium and large mills, the husk is extracted from the de-husking machines and taken through the conveyance system to the cyclone where fine dust is separated out. The environmental issues in the Rice Mills are mainly related to the Management of the rice husk and the noise pollution due to the operation of the mechanical equipment. Central Pollution Control Board has already published guide-lines for: i. Siting of rice Sheller's/Mills, ii. Handling and storage of rice husk, iii. Handling storage and disposal of husk generated in boiler using rice husk as fuel in 2012. The Rice Mills employ mechanical equipment for cleaning and milling activities for de-husking of the paddy. These mechanical equipments can cause significant noise pollution, particularly in (J) Application No.22/2013 (WZ) 8 Rural site CPCB has already carried out study and following noise Pollution prevention measures have been recommended. Various generating sources in Rice Mill, Rotary, vibratory screen bucket, elevator, screw conveyors and grinders, motors etc. need to be provided with adequate noise prevention control measures including following :
1) Provide vibration dampening pads to prevent noise generated due to vibration.
2) To provide rigid enclosure for Rotting/vibrating screen.
3) All transfer points to be covered with rigid enclosures.
These guide-lines are quite elaborate and the chapter 10 proposes the siting criteria for the rice mills which should be considered by the State Pollution Control Board while granting consent to establish for the new Rice Mills. This section also gives guide-lines for handling storage and transport of the rice husk which shall be mandated by SPCB through the consent mechanism. One of the important recommendation is unit shall be mandated to provide a close on enclosure for blowing and storage of rice husk. This mill type enclosure shall be closed from all the sites and have an access for loading and handling of the rice husk. No activity regarding blowing and storage of rice husk shall be carried out, outside the said enclosure.
(J) Application No.22/2013 (WZ) 9 12 The grains of rice are required to be separated from the chaff by mechanical process. The Small Scale Industrial Unit needs to handle large quantity of husk and store the same within the close premises till it is sold away or otherwise disposed of in appropriate manner. During the milling of the paddy, rice husk is separated out in de-husker machine and husk is conveyed to the storage yard through the husk conveyor system. The conveyor system varies as per size of the Rice Mill. In most of the small Rice Mills, simple blower system is used which throws the husk to the storage yard with the help of wind blowers. The noise pollution is required to be minimized with the help of mechanical equipment. Any chance of mixing of the husk with water is likely to cause foul small. 13 Considering the above background, it is important to note that the Training institute of the Applicant (Lokmangal Sanstha) was already being run much prior to installation of the Rice Mill of the Respondent Nos.1 and 4(a) to (e). We are not much concerned with the issue of encroachment over S.nos.6 and 7. The fact remains that they started the Rice Mill in the premises of said agricultural land somewhere in or about 2001-02. The training institute of Applicant (Lokmangal Sanstha) was being run about 10 years prior to installation of the Rice Mill. It appears that consent to establish the Rice Mill was issued on 8-12-2003 (Ex.D/1) by the MPCB. The MPCB granted consent till end of December 2005. One of the conditions imposed on the Respondent Nos.1 and 4 was that they shall take adequate measures for control of air pollution so as (J) Application No.22/2013 (WZ) 10 not to cause nuisance to surrounding area arising from bad smell, gaseous or particulate emission.
14 There is an elaborate affidavit of Miss Annies Pappu Parapilly in support of the Application. She is a Social Worker. She has categorically stated that the Rice Mill emits husk which causes water pollution due to its falling in the adjoining well of the Training institute. Her version further shows that due to continuous running of the Rice Mill, the Training institute suffers from noise pollution. The husk blows out of the Industrial unit and causes health hazard to the staff members and inmates of the Training institute. She states that running of the Rice Mill has causes nuisance to the Training institute. The Learned Counsel for the Respondent Nos.1 and 4 has pointed out, from cross-examination of Miss A.P. Parapilly, that in village Ghot, there are two other Rice Mills in the residential locality. It is also pointed out that she does not know location of place where the Rice bran falls. She also admits that she has no knowledge whether the Rice bran is used for manufacturing of edible oil. She does not know where the polished rice falls from the out-let of the Rice Mill. These admissions of Miss A.P. Paralpilly are not sufficient to dislodge her version. Nothing of much importance could be gathered from her cross-examination so as to disbelieve her version. One cannot be oblivious of the fact that she has no personal interest in the matter. She is more interested in the social work and benefit of the welfare activities of the Training institute. She has no business rivalry (J) Application No.22/2013 (WZ) 11 against the Respondent Nos.1 and 4. It is true, however, that solitary statement of Dr. Siddheshwar Naringe is not sufficient to establish the fact that the rice chaff/husk had triggered any epidemic disease in the near-by area.
15 We have perused the photographs filed along with the Application. It is an admitted fact that the Rice Mill is situated hardly at a distance of 10 ft. from the rear wall of the Training institute run by Applicant Lokmangal Sanstha. This fact is clearly seen from photograph No.2 (D-11). It appears that although the Respondent Nos.1 and 4 have erected a middle wall between the Rice Mill and the Training institute, yet, that wall is only a Kachcha wall without foundation. It is but natural that the said wall may collapse during rainy season and the husk will be exposed to the rain water.
16 That the contesting Respondents have not entered the witness box. From the record, it can be gathered that on 24 th October 2013, the authorities of MPCB visited the site of the Rice Mill and the Training institute as per directions of this Tribunal. We had called upon the Regional Officer, Chandrapur to give the status Report. The status Report dated 28th October 2013 reveals following information:
A) The Sai Rice Mill is located very close to the residential building of President Lokmangal Sanstha (about 4.0 mtrs.). The institute main building is about 52.0 m away from the Rice Mill. The open well located in the premises of Lokmangal Sanstha is about 16.0 m away from the Rice Mill.(J) Application No.22/2013 (WZ) 12
B) The noise level monitoring is carried out though the industry is not in operation, to assess the normal noise level within the premises of Lokmangal Sanstha. The readings are as follows :
(a) 57.8 dB(A) (b) 55.3 dB(A) (c) 57.8 dB(A) (d) 56.9dB(A) (e) 56.9 dB(A) (f) 58.0dB(A) (g) 58.4 dB(A) (h) 58.2 dB(A) (i) 59.7 dB(A) (j) 60.0 dB(A).
From the above readings it is observed that, the normal noise level is within, 55.3 dB(A) to 60.0 dB(A).
C) The Rice Mill is located adjacent to the premises of Lokmangal Sanstha. The distance between the Wall of the Rice Mill and Wall of the building of residence of President Lokmangal Sanstha is about 4.0 mtrs.
D) The rice husk storage shed, roof was found damaged. The proprietor Shri Sanjay Waddetiwar informed that, due to heavy rain the roof has been damaged. He further informed that, before starting the mill the same will be repaired and open portion between roof and wall will be plugged.
E) About 5 to 6 Ton of rice husk was found stored outside the rice husk shed. The Proprietor Shri Sanjay Waddetiwar told that, the rice husk will be removed within 15 days.
F) During the Inspection, the consent copy was not made available. However, from the office records it is observed that they are having consent to operate valid up to 31/12/2008. The industry has submitted the application for consent to operate (Renewal) on 25-10-2013 at Regional Office, Chandrapur.(J) Application No.22/2013 (WZ) 13
17 Perusal of the above report clearly indicates that the rice husk was found stored outside of the rice husk shed, though the Rice Mill was not in operation. So, it cannot be believed that when the Rice Mill is in operation, the husk totally falls within the enclosed area of the rice processing unit. It was also noticed that the roof of the rice husk storage shed was damaged. The proprietor of the Rice Mill informed the authority that due to heavy rains, the roof was damaged. Still, however, in spite of fact that the rainy season had been over at least 3-4 months back of the said visit, no steps were taken to repair the roof. The fact that the Rice Mill was not being operated, did not give any opportunity to examine the issue of noise pollution. The report is silent about the noise abatement measures implemented by the industry. We are surprised to see as to how same Sub Regional Officer of the MPCB Chandrapur observed that the normal noise level was within permissible units. It is nobody's case that even for temporary purpose the Rice Mill was made functional during the short duration of the said limits dated 24th October 2013. Another status Report dated 2nd December 2013 submitted by the Sub Regional Officer, MPCB Chandrapur is also dis-satisfactory. The Report shows that the Rice Mill was not in operation during the visit dated 22nd October 2013. The Report further shows that the old rice husk was under process of lifting. The representative of the Rice Mill (Shri Sanjay Waddetiwar) verbally informed that the maintenance of all the machinery including oil and greasing work was conducted. (J) Application No.22/2013 (WZ) 14 We do not find whether the MPCB verified correctness of such information.
18 It is difficult to place implicit reliance of such top-sided status Report submitted by the MPCB. The Learned Counsel appearing for the Respondent Nos.1 and 4 submitted that rice husk is valuable by-product of the Rice Mill and immediately sold away to bran oil manufactures. He placed reliance on some payment receipts (D-14 to D-29). These payment receipts are for the period from 13-12-2011 to 1-1-2012. So also, these receipts do not indicate that the entire stock of the husk produce from the Rice Mill is sold to the Rice Bran Oil Manufacturer.
19 All said and done, it cannot be overlooked that due to proximity of the premises of the Rice Mill, there is more possibility that the husk separated from the grains after process of the paddy may flow away towards premises of the training institute run by the Applicant. The running of the Rice Mill causes constant pounding sound which also amounts to nuisance. Thus, the Applicant has made out a case of actionable nuisance. The MPCB has not has so far granted consent to operate the Rice Mill. Consequently, we find it necessary to ensure that without appropriate measures taken for arresting the air and noise pollution, the consent to operate may not be renewed.
20 Coming to the question of limitation, it may be noted that the application is transferred to this Tribunal and was originally a suit filed in the Civil Court. The suit was based on the cause of (J) Application No.22/2013 (WZ) 15 action which was stated in the Notice issued U/s. 80 of Code of Civil Procedure. Moreover, running of the Rice Mill continued during the relevant period. The nuisance gave recurring cause of action. The suit was not barred by limitation. The continuity of the nuisance and air pollution as well as noise pollution amounts to continuity of cause of action. Hence, the suit cannot be deemed as barred by limitation.
21 In view of the foregoing discussion, we record our findings on the issues mentioned earlier as follows: Issue No.1 : No, Issue No.2 : Yes, and Issue No.3 : Yes.
22 In the result, the application is partly allowed with costs of Rs.25,000/- (Rs. Twenty five thousand only) each by the Respondent Nos. 1 and 4 to the Applicant Lokmangal Sanstha within period of four (4) weeks.
23 The Respondent Nos. 1 and 4(a) to 4(e) (Legal Representatives of deceased Respondent No.4) shall pay compensation of Rs.50,000/- (Rs. Fifty Thousand only) to Applicant Lokmangal Sanstha for causing noise pollution and air pollution during the period for which the Rice Mill was being operated, the amount which has been arrived at, has been founded on general assessment, having regard to the fact that the Rice Mill is a small unit and is a seasonal industry.
24 We direct that the MPCB shall not grant renewal of consent to operate the Rice Mill run by the Respondent Nos. 1 and (J) Application No.22/2013 (WZ) 16 4(a) to (e) unless it is duly satisfied that adequate measures are taken by them to install modern equipment in order to control the noise pollution by way of proper insulation of the unit and to ensure that the chaff/husk will not flow outside the unit's premises. The Rice Mill shall install a conveyance system or conveyor belt to carry the chaff/husk to adequately covered cellar/storage from which it can be carried out for sell/disposal. Unless such facilities are adequately provided, the application for renewal of grant for consent to operate shall not be processed by the MPCB. In case the Rice Mill is found running without consent to operate or any breach of conditions envisaged in the consent to operate is noted, action under Section 31-A of the Air (Prevention & Control Pollution) Act 1981 may be taken by the MPCB against Proprietor.
The Respondent Nos.1 and 4 shall bear their own costs. The Application is accordingly disposed of.

TIMELINE #JLP76 | We're in no haste, says Montague over calling election
Amid anxiety over the date of the next general elections, Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) chairman Robert Montague has told party faithful it is a bit too early.
"We are not there yet," Montague told a packed National Arena in Kingston at the party's 76th annual conference.
He said there were several standard bearers to be installed but the JLP secretariat was ensuring that they are all fit and proper.
According to Montague, the party is checking out the background and financing of the prospective candidates.
"We are in no haste," he said.
Here are the highlights of the events so far:
1:42 p.m: Prime Minister Andrew Holness enters the National Arena under his usual security escort for the party's annual conference. Holness wore a jacket with the word 'builder' written on the back. Party chairman Robert Montague has said among the issues Holness with address today is that of corruption.
1.15 p.m.: Jamaica Labour Party General Secretary Dr Horace Chang says the party is aiming to win 45 seats in the next general election. The JLP now holds 34 of the 63 seats in Gordon House. Two of them were won in by-elections in constituencies that were being held by the People's National Party. In South East St Mary, Dr Norman Dunn beat Dr Shane Alexis in a poll called after the death Dr Winston Green. In Portland Eastern Ann-Marie Vaz beat the People's National Party's Damion Crawford in the by-election earlier this year.
12.15 pm: Desmond McKenzie, the Kingston Western MP and chairman of the public session of the Jamaica Labour Party’s annual conference does the roll call of Members of Parliament and standard bearers for the 63 electoral constituencies. Absent is Shahine Robinson, the ailing St Ann North East MP. McKenzie asks Labourites to remember her in their prayers.
11.40 a.m: Juliet Cuthbert Flynn, the Member of Parliament for St Andrew West Rural hits out against abuse of women in Jamaica. “Gender equality is a human right and we need to empower our women and girls and let them know they are loved and treasured,” Cuthbert Flynn told the massive gathering of JLP supporters in the National Arena. The first time legislator said she was focused on bringing greater awareness and action for women issues through her engagement with regional parliamentarians. Cuthbert Fynn said a national campaign was required to address some of the major issues affecting females to ensure they reach their full potential and contribute fully to national development.
9.30 a.m: Thousands of Jamaica Labour Party supporters file into Kingston's National Arena for their 76th annual conference, expected to be the final one before general elections, constitutionally due by 2021. The conference coincides with high public support for the ruling party as its rival People's National Party seeks to recover from the bruising presidential election between incumbent Dr Peter Phillips and Manchester Central MP Peter Bunting. But, for the second consecutive year, Holness is facing party faithful at an annual conference after losing a Cabinet minister under a corruption allegations.

Inspiration comes with a simple to use administration panel. You can access it by navigating to Appearance > Theme Options. The theme options are conveniently spread over a number of tabs. Each tab contains the options that pertain to a particular area of the theme.
Inspiration comes with unique possibility to create as many widget areas as you want. All of them can be used there. They can be found under Appearance > Widgets. Widget areas are as follow:
You can use any of created sidebars as you want. Place different sidebars on each page of your website.
Inspiration comes with styles for five popular plugins which you may wish to use. Should you wish to do so, make sure to download latest version of them, install them in your /wp-content/plugins/ directory and activate them in the Appearance > Plugins menu.
In both cases you simply need to activate the plugins and the theme will do the rest.
The Inspiration theme comes with three inbuilt custom page templates: 1. With right sidebar, 2. with left sidebar, 3. fullwidth page. These templates can be used on individual pages to alter the display or functionality. See the screenshot below where to choose layouts (right under the editor you can see "Layout options"):
The Inspiration Premium WordPress Theme supports the use of over 30 shortcodes for styling purposes. To know how to use them please visit the demo page here then press Shortcodes menu item. Also there you can find many samples of their using. Later I'll create a section for them where will be a tutorial on how to use them. I have also in my plans to realize all the shortcodes in visual editor.
Feel Free to contact us if you will have any questions.
The Inspiration Premium WordPress Theme supports the use of Post Thumbnails. Note: you must have WordPress version 2.9 or later to use this feature. The theme supports auto-resizing of the post thumbnails and so there is only the requirement to specify a single image. Auto-resizing will only occur however when the image is uploaded for the first time, images that have previously been uploaded will not be resized.
To ensure the correct display of images across your site, ensure you specify an image with dimensions of 930 x 450 or larger.
To upload a post thumbnail, go to Posts -> Add New or open an existing post in editing mode. Locate the Featured Image module and click the Set featured image link. If you are using WordPress 2.9 it will refer to it as a Post Thumbnail.
Clicking the link will open up the usual WordPress image uploader where you will upload the image as usual. Simply make sure that it is either the same size or larger than what the final thumbnail will be. Once you’re done uploading the image, simply click the link that says “Set Featured Image”, which is next to the button to insert it into the post.
Once you’re done, a preview of the image should appear in the right-hand box and you are free to insert the image into the post as with any other image.
For more on how to use the WP2.9+ Post Thumbnail feature you can view this article - http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/
The Inspiration Premium WordPress Theme includes 9 CSS files that are used at various times depending on user-controlled options that determine the site's display. All CSS files, with the exception of the main CSS file (style.css) can be found in the theme's /stylesheets/ folder. There are 2 main folders for both black and light theme. (dark/ and light/). Each of them contains its own styles, see them below:
When modifying the theme's CSS it is advised to use "style-yourcolor.css" as this will make updating to a newer version of the theme much simpler without overwriting your changes. You may need to use the !important declaration to overwrite any other styles in the theme for the same elements.
/* Example: Change the background colour to black (!important is used to overwrite any duplicate classes in styles.css) */ body { background: #000!important; }
The main stylesheet is organised by section and includes a styles index for quick navigation. To locate the styles for a particular section, view the index and locate them by comment title.

25 August 2003
An outbreak of respiratory illness in an aged care facility in Canada has now been extensively investigated for SARS and WHO concludes the disease is not SARS.
On 14 August, Canadian public health officials reported to WHO that an unidentified respiratory disease in a Surrey, British Columbia health care facility had infected 143 residents and staff. Some initial testing suggested the SARS coronavirus may have played a role.
Now, WHO and Canadian health authorities have gathered enough evidence to conclude that the outbreak in British Columbia is not SARS. Analysis from laboratories in Canada and the United States did not confirm the initial concern that SARS had mutated into a milder disease.
Two lines of evidence have converged to dismiss the SARS concern.
Clinically, the disease itself was strikingly different from the SARS outbreak in the spring. The features of the current outbreak included a low case fatality, runny nose, lack of fever in most patients, and no SARS-like changes in the lung seen on X-ray.
Now, sequencing of a portion of the virus causing the outbreak has led to the finding that it was not the SARS coronavirus but another human coronavirus known as OC43. This virus, which is one of the causes of the common cold, has been associated with respiratory outbreaks in aged care facilities in other countries.
In terms of SARS, Canada continues to be a safe destination for travellers and travellers from Canada pose no exceptional risk to other countries.
This outbreak has no international public health implications.

A web page is a text document written in a language called HTML. Web browsers read these documents, and then interpret and display them.
Coding happens when programmers write text in a language that a computer can understand. The computer can then follow the instructions the programmer wrote.
This video gives a good overview.
Programmers need to write exactly the way a computer understands (also known as writing with correct "syntax").  And that's okay. If you forget how to make text italic in HTML, you can always just look it up at Google
You will be using HTML in the next few lessons, so it will be helpful if you're comfortable with the jargon
-Tag: An HTML tag is always contained within angled brackets. Most tags have an opening tag and a closing tag,. Some tags (called "void" tags) do not require a closing tag.


This post presents my work on creating an interactive musical installation called “Birds on wire” .It tries to explore the gap between the physical and digital. The work was done as a part of my TA duties under Prof. Ravi at IDC.
The idea came from seeing crows sitting on electric transmission lines or cloth drying wires. There is so much man-made symmetry in wires and natural randomness in the movement of the crows. But we never ‘interact’ with these crows. We just shoo them away. Through this work, we wanted to bring the attention of the crowds to the subtleties of these crows and allow them to make music with them. Imagine the wires as strings from the guitar. :)
The installation allows users to tease virtual birds sitting on a series of wires and create music in the process. The music reflects the mood of the birds.
The architecture of the system was as shown. We had tried several approaches like minim, sound fonts and other ways of generating sound (but not ChuCK). The reason to choose SFML was due to the audio being mastered as loops by a “renowned” audio designer for each wire separately. So, the need was to play all of them in sync to make an ensemble of instruments that sound great together. We tried to manipulate the gains of each stream based on user’s interaction.
I fabricated the capacitive sensors and the frame in the size of a large TV.
In the final installation, we had processing handling the beautiful animations (rendered using sprite-sheets) by Vajra and Pranisha. The processing program communicates with a custom audio server written in python over telnet/OSC. One of the pre-final tests in shown in the below video.
The final video, unfortunately, cannot be released at the moment.
I had lots of fun working on the project. We experimented with tons of approaches. This was one of the earliest projects, I had done with Prof. Ravi and team. I learnt a lot about working at the intersection of design and technology. The ways of communicating with artists are things, I often recollect from this project. It taught me a great deal about system networking too.
Cheers,
Rohit

Usually when we join data and HTML elements with the .data() function, they are linked by index, meaning that the nth element is joined with the nth data-item.
Often we don't want elements to be joined by their index, but we want the same element to be joined to the same data item, no matter what happened to the data. This has efficiency advantages and also helps create beautiful animations.
To achieve that we can give the .data() function an additional anonymous function, called the key function, as argument, specifying by what criterion the HTML elements and data item should be joined.
Letting the key function return the data item itself, or one of its attributes that uniquely identifies it, allows us to make the joins exactly as stated above.

.data(data, function(d) { return d; });

I'm a single, independent developper. I've worked many years in the game industry before leaving my current job to start my own independent studio to make the games I like. Solar Rogue is based off an old ASCII based space roguelike prototype I made years ago updated for todays graphics while also trying to keep the traditional roguelike look. It's being developped using the Open Source Godot Game Engine. I also have a youtube channel where I post developpement progress for the game and various deep dive into the programming challenges of game making.

iSensor-SPI-Buffer
1.11
Firmware for the STM32F303 to enable full throughput buffered data capture on Analog Devices IMUs
|
The iSensor SPI Buffer is a hardware and software solution designed to buffer iSensor IMU data, enabling asynchronous sampling systems (specifically embedded Linux systems) such as the Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, Nvidia Jetson, etc. to capture IMU data at high sampling rates with accurate timestamps and without data loss.
The firmware is architected around an STM32F303 to enable full-throughput, buffered data captures as well as an ADG1611 analog switch IC to enable routing SYNC and DATA READY signals from a host processor directly to the IMU. The SPI buffer board is designed to be compatible with all current and future iSensor IMU products.
A custom PCB was designed to fit the profile and form factor of an ADIS1649x IMU. This profile allows the iSensor SPI Buffer to act as a drop-in solution for existing, high-performance solutions. The buffer interface is designed to mimic the iSensor page convention and SPI settings out-of-the box.
Additional hardware and software resources are linked below.

Firmware Documentation (Doxygen)
A video walkthrough and tutorial of the SPI Buffer Board's features is hosted on YouTube. Click on the image below to check it out!
This firmware is designed to operate in the STMicro processor family - specifically the STM32F303 processor. The STM32F303RET6 variant of the processor family was chosen for this application because of its large SRAM and low cost.
Revision B of the PCB design includes the following features:
The iSensor SPI Buffer was designed to sit between an iSensor IMU and the SPI host without changing any existing PCB designs.
The code contained in this repository was developed using the freely available STM32 Cube IDE. A compatible project file is also included in this repository to make getting stared as easy as possible.
A TC2030-IDC cable must be used to interface with the SWD pads on the Rev B PCB. Development was originally done on an NUCLEO-F303RE development board. When programming a buffer board, we've continued to use the NUCLEO as the SWD programmer.
This buffer firmware includes a feature that allows the host SPI peripheral on the buffer board to be reconfigured to suit the host's needs. Because of this, it's possible to lock yourself out of the buffer board.  Note that the buffer board returning 0xFFFF or 0x0000 could be caused by other issues (no power to the buffer board, bad connection to the IMU, etc.) A bad SPI configuration will look similar to the image below.
Recovering from a bad configuration requires using the USB CLI to communicate with the buffer board's firmware. While not mandatory, we recommend changing the jumper on the buffer board to USB power mode. The jumper just needs to be repositioned as shown below.
Using a terminal program such as TeraTerm or PuTTY in Windows, connect to the board using the enumerated COM port. The virtual USB port will automatically detect the host serial settings, so additional configuration is usually unnecessary.
Once connected to the CLI, you can verify that the board is communicating correctly by typing help
into the console. You should see a message like the one shown below.
After you've verified that the CLI is working correctly, type the following command, followed by a carriage return.
freset
This will execute a factory reset command followed by a flash update command. The board should now be reset to SPI Mode 3 with CS active low. The default register settings will have also been committed to flash, so they should persist throughout reboots.
Support for the SPI Buffer Board in Linux was developed by spalani7. His repository is located here.
The iSensor-SPI-Buffer firmware will utilize two hardware SPI ports. One operating as a master (SPI buffer to IMU communication) and the other as a slave (SPI buffer to host)
The iSensor-SPI-Buffer communications handling will be interrupt-driven to remove as much influence from the ST processor as possible. A main cyclic executive loop handles command execution, interrupt generation, and diagnostics.
User SPI Interrupt
There will be an ISR to handle user-initiated SPI transactions (slave interface). If the active register page is not one of the SPI buffer pages (253 - 255) all SPI transactions will be forwarded to the IMU downstream.
SPI transactions will be classified as "read" or "write" by the SPI buffer board the same as the iSensor IMU SPI protocol. A write operation is signaled by setting the MSB of each 16-bit word. The upper 8 bits of the 16-bit transaction contain the register address to be written to as well as the read/write bit. The lower 8 bits of the 16-bit transaction contain the data to be written.
A single read request transmitted to the SPI buffer on the slave interface will result in two SPI transactions sent to the IMU on the master interface. The first transaction sends the register read request to the IMU and the second reads the requested register contents data back from the IMU. The requested IMU register is then loaded into the SPI buffer user SPI transmit buffer so that it is available to the user on the next user SPI transaction. For write transactions, a single write command will be sent to the IMU. The data resulting from the write transaction is then loaded into the SPI buffer user SPI transmit buffer. Unlike the read operation, a write operation will not automatically generate an additional SPI transaction. The diagram below shows the IMU SPI passthrough process for a register read operation.
Autonomous Data Capture
When the currently selected page is 255 (buffer output register page), the iSensor SPI Buffer firmware will begin to monitor a user-specified GPIO interrupt for data ready signals pulses. Once a data ready pulse is detected, the firmware will transmit the data contained in page 254 (buffer transmit data) in the order specified by the user. Data received from the IMU during each 16-bit transaction will be stored in a new buffer entry in the iSensor-SPI-Buffer SRAM. The firmware will use DMA and timer peripherals to perform the SPI transactions with minimal CPU intervention while giving control over the SPI SCLK and stall time.
The data capture ISR will be triggered by a user-specified GPIO, corresponding to the IMU data ready signal. The data capture ISR will configure a timer peripheral (which drives SPI word transmission timing) to trigger a DMA between memory and SPI. A DMA done ISR will handle cleaning up the DMA transactions and incrementing buffer pointers following a complete data set acquisition from the IMU. If the selected page is changed off page 255, the IMU data ready interrupt data capture functionality will be disabled (can be re-enabled by writing 255 to the page ID register on any page).
User Interrupt Signaling (to host)
Each of the four DIO lines from the iSensor-SPI-Buffer to the master device can be configured to operate in one of four modes
The state of each interrupt signal is checked and updated on each iteration of the main cyclic executive loop. This ensures quick response time to changes in the buffer state while maintaining a simple program flow.
Command Execution


SETEUID
Section: Linux Programmer's Manual (2)Updated: 2007-07-26
Index Return to Main Contents
NAME
seteuid, setegid - set effective user or group IDSYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>#include <unistd.h>
int seteuid(uid_t euid);
int setegid(gid_t egid);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
seteuid(), setegid(): _BSD_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600
DESCRIPTION
seteuid() sets the effective user ID of the calling process. Unprivileged user processes may only set the effective user ID to the real user ID, the effective user ID or the saved set-user-ID.Precisely the same holds for setegid() with "group" instead of "user".
RETURN VALUE
On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.ERRORS
- EPERM
- The calling process is not privileged (Linux: does not have the CAP_SETUID capability in the case of seteuid(), or the CAP_SETGID capability in the case of setegid()) and euid (respectively, egid) is not the real user (group) ID, the effective user (group) ID, or the saved set-user-ID (saved set-group-ID).
CONFORMING TO
4.3BSD, POSIX.1-2001.NOTES
Setting the effective user (group) ID to the saved set-user-ID (saved set-group-ID) is possible since Linux 1.1.37 (1.1.38). On an arbitrary system one should check _POSIX_SAVED_IDS.Under libc4, libc5 and glibc 2.0 seteuid(euid) is equivalent to setreuid(-1, euid) and hence may change the saved set-user-ID. Under glibc 2.1 and later it is equivalent to setresuid(-1, euid, -1) and hence does not change the saved set-user-ID. Similar remarks hold for setegid().

An sensible alternative to Object.defineProperty()
. Available in npm and Ender as prr.
Set the property 'foo'
(obj.foo
) to have the value 'bar'
with default options ('enumerable'
, 'configurable'
and 'writable'
are all false
):
prr(obj, 'foo', 'bar')
Adjust the default options:
prr(obj, 'foo', 'bar', { enumerable: true, writable: true })
Do the same operation for multiple properties:
prr(obj, { one: 'one', two: 'two' })
// or with options:
prr(obj, { one: 'one', two: 'two' }, { enumerable: true, writable: true })
But obviously, having to write out the full options object makes it nearly as bad as the original Object.defineProperty()
so we can simplify.
As an alternative method we can use an options string where each character represents a option: 'e'=='enumerable'
, 'c'=='configurable'
and 'w'=='writable'
:
prr(obj, 'foo', 'bar', 'ew') // enumerable and writable but not configurable
// muliple properties:
prr(obj, { one: 'one', two: 'two' }, 'ewc') // configurable too
Anywhere! For pre-ES5 environments prr will simply fall-back to an object[property] = value
so you can get close to what you want.
prr is Ender-compatible so you can include it in your Ender build and $.prr(...)
or var prr = require('prr'); prr(...)
.

Icthus 1.2
Today Icthus 1.2 is available for download. In it you’ll find some new features including:
- Support for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus screen sizes
- Support for landscape orientation
- Support for handoff
- Icthus is now open source!
Icthus is a labor of love. I’m the sole developer and don’t make any money from the work I do for it. That said, the decision to make Icthus free is an easy one because having a Bible designed for reading is something that everyone should have access to.
For the same reasons, making Icthus open source was also an easy decision. This allows other developers to read the code, offer improvements, use Icthus as a starting point for their own app, or even redistribute copies of Icthus itself. If you’re intereseted, you can find the source code for Icthus on Github.

Recently we have came across the awesome UI of Firefox OS 2.2 and also we have came across awesome Firefox OS based PC which is only book size. So now the biggest awesome Open source Firefox OS moving to another platform. This time it is for TV.
Panasonic has recently joined hands with Mozilla and launched the first 4K HD TV at International Consumer Electronics show 2015.
[caption id="attachment_373" align="aligncenter" width="660"] Panasonic 4K Firefox OS TV is very big is aweome[/caption]
Panasonic has partnered with Mozilla a year ago to bring Linux based Firefox OS to TV's. The hard work and the dream came true during this event, Panasonic team are very excited to released this awesome 4K HD display TV. Giagom had opportunity to capture the working TV at CES.
Previously Firefox OS had the opportunity to bring similar to Chromecast with the help of Matchstick which is having both open hardware and open software.
“We’ve made it easy to find your favorite content and applications or customize the user interface on our Life+ Screen 4K Ultra HD Smart TVs, powered by Firefox OS,” said Yuki Kusumi, Director of the Home Entertainment Business Division of Appliances Company of Panasonic. “Firefox OS uses open Web technologies, which allow us to maximize compatibility with other devices like smartphones and laptops to send content (such as your favorite photos or videos) to your TV.”
Before it was only for Mobile devices, then came Matchstick and now 4K HD Panasonic TV and next is Firefox OS based watch and then also consumer device. It is possible only with One web.


We are researchers from [blind review]. We want to find out how participants seek and get help during the Global Game Jam 2020, most importantly, how people with different demographic data collaborate. To do so, we conducted a survey with participants of the Global Game Jam (GGJ) 2020. Initially, we collected information from participants around the world through the email information made available on the events’ website on which people willing to participate in the jam had to sign up before the event. We then distributed an online survey to these participants. We received in total 3197 answers that agreed to participate (as a volunteer) in our research.
This is a purely academic research project with no commercial interests. We will openly publish the results so everyone can benefit from them, but will anonymize everything before doing so. We will handle the responses confidentially.

The Program
We know that there are a lot of options when it comes to self-defence courses. Here's a little bit about what you'll learn from ours.
What we're focusing on
The Stay Safe Course covers 4 critical areas.
Falling
This may seem like an odd one, but learning how to fall safely is a skill that is applicable to a range of situations, throughout your lifetime!
Striking
While striking does encompass what you might imagine, well strikes! We also show you how it can help with making space and maintaining your personal space (catchy mnemonics included!).
Blocking
In this segment we cover knowing where the more vulnerable areas are on your body and how to try to best protect them – from standing and on the ground.
Throwing
Our personal favourite, learning a few basic throws is helpful not just as a tool in your toolbox, but also offers alternative ways of dealing with a situation and helps introduce higher levels of physical contact in a more comfortable, fun way.
Outside The Program
We'll also provide some situational examples of when these could be applied during the course.
Stick around after to come and grab some coffee at the local café with us!

The APIs introduced by this document provide authors with a way to determine and interact with the properties of the visual viewport.
TODO
Some user agents have split their viewport into two conceptual viewports, colloquially
known as the visual and layout viewports. This separation is useful in
enabling a user agent (UA) with a small screen to allow the user to zoom in on parts of the page
without causing the page to respond, for example, by obscuring the user's view with
position: fixed
elements. As another example, mobile UAs often provide an on-screen
keyboard (OSK) for user input. Without the visual/layout split, a position: fixed
element would be pushed up when the OSK is shown, obscuring the user's view. Informally,
the layout viewport is what the web page uses when laying out its UI while the visual viewport
is the box on the page that the user can currently see, accounting for transient UI features like
pinch-zoom and the OSK.
The existing APIs provided by UAs are ambiguous about which viewport they're relative to. For
example, document.scrollingElement.scrollLeft
returns the scroll position of the
visual viewport while document.scrollingElement.clientWidth
returns the width of
the layout viewport. getBoundingClientRect
returns the rect relative to the layout
viewport while positioning non-fixed elements relative to the layout viewport is difficult. This
makes building UI that responds to scrolls across mobile and desktop UAs difficult. Worse still,
there's no way for the developer to be notified when the visual viewport changes. For example,
the only way to know when the user has zoomed is to poll or listen to touch events and continually
check window.innerWidth
.
The Visual Viewport API is designed to provide an explicit mechanism for developers to query and potentially modify the properties of the visual viewport. It also introduces events that allow the page to listen for changes in the visual viewport, allowing UX that explicitly wants to react to these changes to do so. For example, the page could keep a small text-formatting bar above the OSK.
VisualViewport
interface
A VisualViewport object represents the visual viewport for a given window
.
Each window
on a page will have a unique VisualViewport
object representing
the properties associated with that window
.
interface VisualViewport : EventTarget { readonly attribute double scrollTop; readonly attribute double scrollLeft; readonly attribute double pageX; readonly attribute double pageY; readonly attribute double clientWidth; readonly attribute double clientHeight; readonly attribute double scale; };
partial interface Window { [SameObject, Replaceable] readonly attribute VisualViewport visualViewport; };
The user agent must fire an Event named resize
on the window.visualViewport
object if any of the clientHeight, clientWidth, or scale attributes change (e.g. in response to user interaction).
These events follow the procedure defined in section 12.1 of the CSSOM View module.
The user agent must fire an Event named scroll
on the window.visualViewport
object if either the scrollTop or scrollLeft attributes change (e.g in response to user interaction, by an API, or by the resize of the visual viewport).
These events follow the procedure defined in section 12.2 of the CSSOM View module.

In this package tag handler classes for defining beans in a Jelly script can be
found. For each of the constructs defined in the dependency injection
framework corresponding tag classes exist. Using these tags a
BeanContext
can be populated with complex bean definitions. Because
all of Jelly's standard features are available in such a script, this can even
happen in a dynamic way.

Akira Sone becomes first judoka to make Japan's 2020 Olympic team
OSAKA – Akira Sone became Japan’s first judoka for next year’s Tokyo Olympics on Sunday.
The All Japan Judo Federation named the 19-year-old to next year’s team after she won the over-78-kg championship at the Grand Slam Osaka. The federation had announced it would hold a vote on reigning world champions who also won this weekend in Osaka.
Sone is now bound for her first Olympics after receiving the approval of at least two thirds of the federation’s development committee officials.
In her final at Maruzen Intec Arena Osaka, Sone needed extra time to defeat 2012 London Olympic champion Idalys Ortiz of Cuba by waza-ari.
“Even though I won the championship, I couldn’t relax until it (my Olympic spot) was decided,” Sone said. “And when I did hear, I was kind of in a haze.
“I’ve come a long way, and for the most part it’s been really hard.”

Chapter one of Search Inside Yourself book taught me the importance of EQ or Emotional Intelligence to achieve success in workplace or life. Which most people still measuring IQ to measure each individual's success rate.
Moreover, the six out of four competencies key success even in the tech sector are coming from EQ. This includes, strong achievement standards, ability to influence, self-confidence and initiative on taking challenge. Therefore, to achieve those four competencies each individual needs to have self-motivation, resilience and self-regulation.
Other than that, two minutes mindfullness taught me how to let go stress if I got stuck at some point. This is very similar to what I usually do, I called it QiGong, a meditation technique that I learned from Thailand. This meditation allows me to organise my breath within 30-40 minutes and let go off my stress and anxiety. Which helps me to get all of my tasks done.
