What is Stereotype Threat?
Stereotype threat is the threat being seen as a negative stereotype or the threat of confirming or fulfilling the stereotype. When you perceive stereotype threat, your cognition is impaired by the constant vigilance you feel necessary to guard against the threat. You are intimidated by the stereotypes against you. Furthermore, you can be in a protracted state of mistrust and anxiety. These impairments may be one reason why negatively stereotyped students receive lower marks than their stereotypically positive or neutral peers.
When Does Stereotype Threat Arise?
Stereotype threat arises when what is salient to you appears to apply in the context. For example, in a study conducted by Claude M. Steele, blacks students performed significantly worse than their white counterparts on a exam made up of questions from a verbal section of the GREs when the exam was presented as a cognitive test. When the same exam was presented as a puzzle, the black students performed virtually at the same level as the white students.
When the exam was presented as a cognitive test, the black students became aware of the stereotypes that blacks don't perform well on these types of exams. As a result, the saliency of these stereotypes allocated their cognitive resources to defending against the negative stereotypes leaving them with lesser ability and concentration for the exam itself. The students who saw the exam as game never saw their negative stereotypes come into play and so they did not feel stereotype threats that would impair their ability to perform on the exam.
What Can We Do About Stereotype Threat?
Having strong emotionaly intelligence (EQ) is one key way to heighten your ability to detect and combat stereotype threat. To have strong EQ, you must practice awareness of yourself and others. One way to practice awareness is to find analogous experiences in your own life that may apply to someone who is experiencing stereotype threat.
Another way to practice awareness is to practice communicating with others about how you are feeling. Often times when you share your thoughts, feelings, and stories, you'll find that all of us experiencing the same things despite how differently we identify ourselves. In other words, sharing our thoughts, feelings, and stories can dispel the belief that negative experiences are due to some fulfilment of a negative stereotype and instead may just be because of improper instructions, unjust laws, having an off day, etc.


There once was a penguin who was ungry. He seached far and wide for food.
 He said "Have thouest any food kindly dog?"
The dog sais, "Yes, but you must give me an egg."
The penguin said, "I'm a guy."
The dog said, "I know the male penguin carries the egg."
Penguin said, "Fine." The penguin took out his eggs and "accidentally" made them fall towards a bunch of rocks. Then he went and collected them and handed the dog an egg. The dog handed the penguin some carrots and said, "Thanks for the egg." The penguin said, "No problem" then quickly took off.

Me: 120mg 2ci, 125lbs
Boyfriend: 130mg 2ci, round 30mg 2ce, 160lbs.
Empty stomachs
Both somewhat experienced trippers, my boyfriend more so than me.
So this is a long report; if you don't want to read all of it here are the basics: Planning a light trip, we dose the 2ci wrong by a factor of ten - yes TEN. Each of us find ourselves on over 100mg which is more than I've ever heard of being taken. This is scary. We make another huge mistake and go to the hospital, realise we're OK, and then aren't allowed to leave.
 But since 2ci is so recent and I've never heard of anyone dosing above 100mg, I wanted to write it up because I was amazed that, although the trip from terrifying, disorienting and way, way too intense, it didn't last much longer than usual, didn't seem hugely dangerous and didn't leave any lasting effects (I don't see any visuals now). It seems like it might be useful to document such a high dose trip of a relatively new chemical. (That said, I'm not EVER dosing this high again. and thank god, thank thank god, we decided not to snort it.)
_________________________
So, I'm well aware of the recriminations and scolding that I'm sure I'll deservedly get after this report, not just for dosing but for our ridiculous panic, but leaving that aside for the moment, the facts:
My boyfriend and I planned a light trip, fun evening, a concert. We'd recently received a decent amount of 2ci and some 2ce and were looking forwards to trying them again after a break. We decided on 11-12mg for me, 13ish for him with a tiny bit of 2ce thrown in. He measured it out carefully on a good scale accurate to the nearest mg; I remember thinking it looked like a bit more than I had taken before, but after asking if he was sure about the dose, I (yes, yes, foolishly) shrugged it off. (NB we had considered briefly insufflating on a smaller dose but didn't, thank god, or I'm not sure either of us would still be here.) We put it in water and drank it down on empty stomachs at about 4.30pm (nothing but a bowl of cereal to eat the whole day).
T- 10mins: Feeling a bit out of it. Expecting to do about 40mins work before the trip came on, I'm finding myself unable to continue even to make whole sentences.
T-15mins: Holy fuck, I can feel myself coming up, FAST. The familiar tight feeling, body feeling a little wobbly/heavy. I get up from my computer and go into the next door room where my boyfriend has just quickly ended a phone conversation with his brother, unable to continue. 'I'm already starting to trip,' I said. We look at each other, a little alarmed. Maybe we'd received something a hell of a lot stronger than we're used to. It was ordered online after all.
T-20mins: We decide to take a walk, hoping going outside will reduce the intensity. As I struggle to find my key I'm already having full-on tracers on everything.
We go for a walk. Walking seems difficult. At first it's just a normal dreary day. The brickwork of all the buildings is starting to flitter around like crazy, we pass some huge church doors; the grain of the wood stands out fantastically, a little carved row of saints look like they are moving in formation. It's cool.
T-25mins: I'm beginning to feel pretty damn anxious. This is coming on way way stronger than anything I've ever felt before. It's difficult even to walk. I'm starting to feel completely overwhelmed and trying to focus on staying functional. We'd planned to walk up and down the river. Instead we amend to do a short loop.
T-30mins: My boyfriend isn't sure he can even keep walking. He says we need to go back to the apartment, NOW. This scares me, since he's usually the steady, never ever anxious one. I start to get reeeally anxious. Walking back along a street very suddenly the color all separate out and become fully saturated. Everything is fluruoescent - the painted houses are fiery crimson, the blooming trees are luminous, every conceivable pattern of brickwork, sidewalk, wood etc is swirling and looping and moving like crazy.
T-35mins: We arrive back at the apartment, worried, not sure what the hell is going on. We discuss the dosage and I ask if he could have at all got it wrong. He starts to look panicked. 'I don't know, I don't know... It seems so stupid.. how.. could I have, really?' There's a certain sense of disbelief as we start to realise that it's possible - no, even PROBABLE, that we've dosed ourselves wrong by a FACTOR OF TEN. In other words we're both going into an 8 hour trip on a higher dose of a research chemical than I've even heard of anyone taking. I start to think that it's possible we might die, or at least do ourselves serious damage.
T-40mins: We run upstairs, gather food, water, take 10mg of valium each. In retrospect we should both have taken a ton more than that, but we were scared and no longer trusted ourselves, having just poisoned ourselves to the tune of 120mg.  Both of us are quickly losing functionality. We try to sit on the lawn and relax but I can't escape the anxiety that we've completely fucked ourselves and my hammering heart is panicking me.
T-45mins: So, the second huge, huge mistake. We both did something we'd never imagined we'd do, something I've only read about with scorn: off to the university hospital.
T-50mins: Within minutes of our arrival there are ten-twenty people. They have no idea what 2ci is; we tell them to look it up on erowid. We tell them we need benzos and probably food (despite the possibility of vomiting). They listen to not a word we say. As soon as we tell them the vague basics of the situation that's it, into the ambulance with you. We ask for water, they give us none. They strap us down. We say no, please, that's not necessary. It's too late.
T-1hr: We're stuck in the hospital, tied to heart monitors, intravenous needles,
The memory of getting there is patchy. We've both lost all sense of time. At least we're together and can chat.  The hospital staff are snarky with us and then tell us that obviously 2ci must be an amphetamine because it's sped up our hearts. We say no, it's a hallucinogen, and we just need some sedatives. Not listening.
For the next 2-3 hours we're there unable to leave. Various nurses and doctors pop in and out with forms for us to sign.  I'm disoriented and confused and I feel like a little creature from the Matrix, tied up to legions of machinery. It's pretty horrible. I'm aware that we've been abandoned somewhere in the hospital, but unsure if further (or any) 'treatment' will be forthcoming. It takes me a long, long time to realise that they know fuck-all about anything, and that we're steadily coming out of the worst of it. I feel like I've been run over by a truck.
We try to leave the hospital. Nothing doing. Apparently, because we're intoxicated, we're not allowed to make that decision for ourselves. We're carted up to different rooms. All the letters of signs and the clocks in my room are twirling around in little circles like something from Alice in Wonderland. At least I still have my phone. Soon enough, we're plotting how to make a break for it. I attempt to cogently persuade the doctor to release me, but although I'm now lucid I'm still not 100% functional and anyway it's too late.
T-7h30: We make a break for it, successfully, and meet outside. The night is beautiful and calm and the visuals are stunning. Blossoms are swaying in the wind, gnarled tree branches winding and twisting around one another, the bright green new buds on bushes form intricate moving patterns of swirling dots. We walk back to our apartment fast. Back at home, we eat some sandwiches. It's starting to fade, finally, though there are still some great visuals. Try to watch an old movie; it's hard to follow but the aesthetic of it is gorgeous.
T-11hrs: We're both pretty much sober. A strong flashlight suddenly shines into our window. Fuck, it's the police. We try to hide our stash of drugs and run down. Thankfully it's only the university police. They threaten me with disciplinary action if I don't go back to the hospital. My boyfriend is allowed to stay because he's no longer a student. I go back and spend 4 hours waiting for the hospital bureaucracy to deem me sane and release me.
Finito.
Lessons learned: Of course, these are all blindingly obvious but for me at least there's a difference between knowing something and experiencing it.
- NEVER trust someone else to measure out your dose.
- If you have even the slightest, tiniest doubt about the amount, check!
- NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, go to the hospital unless a) you're convulsing, and (or) b) you're having problems with a drug they might conceivably know anything about (coke, heroin, shrooms etc). It'll just make completely awful what would otherwise be a scary but endurable trip.

6.0 Ground Movement
A player can move as many (or as few) of his ground units as he likes during the Movement Segment of his Movement Phase. Subject to mode restrictions, a player can also move them during the Movement Segments of his Reaction and Exploitation Phases. A unit can move as many hexes as desired, subject to MA, mode, fuel requirements, and terrain.
6.1 How to Move Ground Units
Move units individually or in stacks. Movement must follow a contiguous path of hexes. A unit can move in any direction or series of directions. Finish movement of one unit (or stack) before moving another. Regular combat does not occur during movement, but units can make overruns (a combined form of movement and combat) while moving.
6.1a Movement Points (MP). Each unit expends MP for each hex entered and hexside crossed according to the Terrain Effects on Movement Chart. Keep a running MP total as each unit/stack moves.
6.1b Movement Allowance (MA). A unit’s MA is how many MP it can spend in a single phase. Modes can modify a unit’s MA. Some units (including SP, ports, air bases, and hedgehogs) have no MA and thus cannot move or retreat.
6.1c If eligible to move in a phase, a unit without enough MP can always move a minimum of one hex. Units can never use this rule to overrun, violate restrictions imposed by their mode, or move into or through prohibited terrain. Only units with an MA greater than zero can do this.
6.1d A unit can move from hex A to hex B only if it could also move from hex B to hex A. For example, a unit prohibited from entering mountains could not move from a mountain hex to a clear hex through a non-road hexside. Note the possible impact on overruns, which cannot make use of roads (8.1c).
6.1e The MA of units in a stack are independent of each other, as are the expenditures of stacked units of different mobility classes. A player cannot transfer MP (even if unused) from unit to unit, or save them for later use.
6.1f A stack can begin moving together and then split up by dropping units off as it moves. Once dropped off, a unit cannot move further, even if some of its MA remains unused.
Player Note: Do not start moving as a stack if you want the separate units to split off and move elsewhere!
6.1g Players cannot move units part of their MA, move some others or conduct an air mission, and then return to finish the movement of the earlier (unfinished) units. Once a unit begins to move, it must continue until it is finished. Note the minor exception for Transport Points in 13.2a.
6.1h The MA of units in certain modes can be doubled, halved, or quartered (see 5.7, 5.8, and 5.10). Never round a reduced MA (retain the fraction).
6.2 Terrain Effects
Per the Terrain Effects on Movement Chart, each hex and hexside feature costs a specific number of MP. To enter a hex, a moving unit must pay the full required cost. (Exception: minimum moves, 6.1c.) The hex or hexside MP cost will vary depending on the mobility type (3.1a) of the unit: Leg, Tracked, or Truck.
In all cases below, the word “road” encompasses every kind of road-like feature (tracks, railroads, and roads of various quality):
6.2a Roads can be used if moving units are following a continuous road path. A unit then pays the road movement cost and ignores other features in the hexes or hexsides crossed. There is no requirement for the roads to intersect within a hex in order to leave it via any of them—roads and railroads are considered to be linked in a common hex even if it is not literally shown as such on the map.
6.2b Add the cost of hexside features— these have additive costs (such as ‘+3’) on the Terrain Chart—crossed to that of the hex entered. (Exception: units moving along a road 8 hexside features.) Note that Bridging (13.8b) can be used to reduce the cost of rivers.
6.2c Ground units cannot enter or cross prohibited hexes and hexsides (unless using a bridge or road). Destroy units forced to do so. See also 6.1d.
6.2d Multiple Terrain Types. Some hexes contain more than one type of terrain. Use the terrain in the hex which is most costly for movement (unless following a road, per 6.2a). The amount of symbol in the hex does not matter (so even a little nub of mountain makes it a mountain hex). Exception: Ignore city and village nubs.
Water terrain has a few exceptions:
- A moving unit ignores water terrain along a shoreline if there is any land terrain on the hexside crossed.
- A moving unit uses the cheapest water terrain along a hexside being crossed, such as when a hexside is part lake and part river.
- Rivers are intended to fully cover hexsides, so ignore nubs.
6.3 Restrictions on Movement
6.3a Only the designated player can move his ground units during a given phase. For instance, only the non- phasing player’s units can move during the Reaction Phase.
6.3b Enemy Contact. Unless negated, an enemy ZOC stops movement of a Truck MP unit (see 4.5a). Units can sometimes move into hexes containing enemy units (see 4.8c).

Learn about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning and how to incorporate AI into your programs and projects. This webinar provides an introduction to two practical implementations of AI in the conservation context, highlight lessons learned from some of the early implementations of AI in our sector, and inspire new ideas and partnerships. Mapping Ocean Wealth (MOW) is a global initiative to map coastal and ocean ecosystem services and the benefits nature provides to people. AI techniques in image recognition, such as Deep Learning, were used to classify geo-tagged photos from Flickr combined with global data provided by the tourism industry to map tourism benefits provided by coral reefs in the Caribbean region. Developed by The Nature Conservancy in partners with UCSC and Critigen.
This video demonstrate the use of Tangible Landscape for the collaborative management of devastating forest epidemics, such as Sudden Oak Death (SOD) in California.

 But do not exploit the benefit that can play a critical role in accepting or rejecting a job offer nowadays – work from home option.
Frankly, hi-tech companies do not differ much in their work conditions and available perks, so if a software engineer gets two equal or slightly different job offers, statistically priority will be given to the one that offers remote work opportunity. This is why at the job interviews, only the lazy don’t ask about the possibility to work from home, if not from the first day, then at least in the future.
In 2019 remote work or work from home is not a hype or a trend anymore. This one of the available forms of teams and work process arrangement. Even must-have in the modern urban environment for the generation with a work-life balance as a top priority.
And it is crystal clear why for many people it is an indisputable motivating benefit – the bonuses it gives can not be compensated in any other way. Here are the most frequently named:
- Saving money and efforts. Commuting time with rush-hour traffic jams (some locations seem to have never-ending congestions) absurdly increased and gets people stressed and tired before they even get to work. Also, working from home one can expect to give away less money on food and clothing.
- The retained time can be spent on self-development and education.
- Avoiding the disrupting atmosphere of open-plan offices with its continuously accelerating time waste and sustained anxiety.
- Flexible schedule which enables people to have more qualitative rest and work on their own productivity peaks (though the room for manipulation is not that big here as may seem at the beginning, but still), which increases both efficiency and creativity.
- Work-family balance. It was proved that being able sometimes to make personal issues priority decreases stress levels and improve general well-being and happiness level.
However, work from home is not a “one-way street” case. There are also distinct benefits for companies, such as:
- Measurable financial and resource savings. Money usually outlay for rent, furniture, equipment and utilities can be invested in company development and retained space can be used for creating a comforting atmosphere in the office (arrange extra facilities like meeting rooms, rest zones, etc.)
- Faster, easier and cheaper recruitment. Companies offering work-from-home option face less competition and their chances to hire great talents double or even triple. So, they hire faster and cost per hire decreases. Moreover, they can enjoy passive recruitment more than anyone else. However, what is the most beneficial, they may start working with “best of the best” because with work from home option only the sky is the limit.
- Differentiation amongst those employers that don’t implement work-from-home practices, the company that does, can become kind of a unicorn, mystical, desired and well-recognised.
- More mature and developed workers. Well, it is not a secret that work from home is not for everyone: despite the physical possibility to stay at home and arrange a working place there, it requires a certain level of maturity and cast-iron self-discipline. And most issues companies have with remote workers can be eliminated with the help of the right hires – people ready to take responsibility for their action and continuously develop competencies.
- Happier, more satisfied and loyal employees. Such a conclusion was reached by researchers of Pennsylvania State University, who surveyed and analysed 13 thousand remote workers. I do not see any grounds for mistrust, do you?.
- Productive employees = met deadlines. No doubt that happy, satisfied, mature employees produce greater results!
Despite the obvious advantages for both parties, working from home is still the job dream situation for millions of IT specialists. Only certain companies attained to the idea, and workers at limited job positions (primarily senior-level specialists) can enjoy the privilege of working from home.
The most frequent reasons/fears/myths mentioned are:
- Underwork (working less than 40 hours weekly). Frankly, do all office busy bees work 40 hours a week sharp? No.  Over the course of an eight-hour workday, the average employee works for about three hours states Business Insider.
So, in this respect, work from home is not that bad or ineffective.
And, well, you can always introduce remote Scrum meetings, daily calls, use Slack or any other chat to see what is going on during the day. Plus, task tracking systems will help ensure the job is done on time. Anyway, you buy their talent, not their time.
- Communication mishaps. Communication is probably one of the key reasons for all the problems in any company. Distance may intensify them, but not that much. With modern world opportunities, communication means and channels, this gap can be reduced to a minimum. Moreover, the unresponsiveness of teammates is always a more personal issue. Hence, well- establish processes, and overall communication will go swimmingly.
- Roadblocks in management. Some employers believe that if the employee does not have a manager behind the back, monitoring them round the clock, then they bungle a job and miss deadlines. However, when in the office, do the managers continuously look at the workers’ computer screens and ask what they are doing every half an hour? If yes, then it is not a manager and hyper controlling micro-managing moron with an inferiority complex. Autonomous, well organised, professional adults do not need constant supervision. So, here, stakeholders should decide whether they want to excel and provide corresponding freedom and trust?
- Staff turnover. Come on. Retention of tech talent is a troublesome issue worldwide. And not because specialists can go to job interviews uncontrollably during work hours, but because something is missing or not done correctly by a current employer. So, do not blame work from home, but start at home!
Definitely, there much more objections against implementing work from home practices, but mainly they are lame excuses to cover companies’ reluctance to learn and change.
As there is always room for negotiation, alternatives and agreements. For example, companies may start offering a mixed schedule (1-2-3 days from home) or offer work from home option only for high performers, suggest some kind of work-from-home probation period or test people for the need skills, whatever. In my opinion, options here are limitless here and worth trying, and bonuses – competing for.

"Nobody’s born smart. We all start at 0. Can’t talk, can’t walk, certainly can’t do algebra.
Adding, reading, writing, riding a bike. Nobody’s good at anything at first.
There was a time when Einstein couldn’t count to 10.
And Shakespeare had to learn his ABCs just like the rest of us.
Thankfully, we are born to learn.
Slowly. Surely.
Frustrating. Confusing. Trying. Struggling.
Until one day, you walk.
 One idea on top of the next.
Each wrong answer making your brain a little bit stronger.
Failing is just another word for growing. And you keep going.
This is learning.
It’s not that you don’t get it.
You just don’t get it, yet. Because the most beautiful, complex concepts in the whole universe
are built on basic ideas that anyone, anywhere can understand.

You only have to know one thing:
You can learn anything."

They are the ones who disbelieved (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism), and hindered you from Al-Masjid-al-Haram (the sacred mosque of Makkah) and the sacrificial animals, detained from reaching their place of sacrifice. Had there not been believing men and believing women whom you did not know, that you may kill them, and on whose account a sin would have been committed by you without (your) knowledge, that Allah might bring into His Mercy whom He will, if they (the believers and the disbelievers) should have been apart, We verily had punished those of them who disbelieved, with painful torment. |
| 048:025 Maulana | : |
It is they who disbelieved and debarred you from the Sacred Mosque -- and the offering withheld from reaching its goal. And were it not for the believing men and the believing women, whom, not having known, you might have trodden down, and thus something hateful might have afflicted you on their account without knowledge -- so that Allah may admit to his mercy whom He pleases. Had they been apart, We would surely have chastised those who disbelieved from among them with a painful chastisement. |
| 048:025 Pickthal | : |
These it was who disbelieved and debarred you from the Inviolable Place of Worship, and debarred the offering from reaching its goal. And if it had not been for believing men and believing women, whom ye know not - lest ye should tread them under foot and thus incur guilt for them unknowingly; that Allah might bring into His mercy whom He will - If (the believers and the disbelievers) had been clearly separated We verily had punished those of them who disbelieved with painful punishment. |
| 048:025 Rashad | : |
It is they who disbelieved and barred you from the Sacred Masjid, and even prevented your offerings from reaching their destination. There were believing men and women (within the enemy camp) whom you did not know, and you were about to hurt them, unknowingly. GOD thus admits into His mercy whomever He wills. If they persist, He will requite those among them who disbelieve with a painful retribution. |
| 048:025 Sarwar | : |
It was the disbelievers who kept you from the Sacred Mosque and prevented your sacrificial offering from reaching its proper place. God would not have kept you from fighting the disbelievers, had there not been believing men and women (among them) whom you did not know and whom you might have unknowingly harmed. God did this because He grants mercy to whomever He wants. Had they been distinguishable from the believers, We would certainly have punished them with a painful torment. |
| 048:025 Shakir | : |
It is they who disbelieved and turned you away from the Sacred Mosque and (turned off) the offering withheld from arriving at its destined place; and were it not for the believing men and the believing women, whom, not having known, you might have trodden down, and thus something hateful might have afflicted you on their account without knowledge-- so that Allah may cause to enter into His mercy whomsoever He pleases; had they been widely separated one from another, We would surely have punished those who disbelieved from among them with a painful punishment. |
| 048:025 Sherali | : |
It is they who disbelieved and debarred you from the Sacred Mosque and also prevented the dedicated offerings from reaching their place of sacrifice. And had it not been for some believing men and believing women who were then in Mecca and whom, not having known, you might have trampled down, and thus might have, on their account, incurred an unwitting guilt, HE would have permitted you to fight, but HE withheld you that HE might admit into HIS mercy whom HE will. If they had been clearly separated from the disbelievers, WE would have, surely, punished those of them who disbelieved with a grievous punishment. |

They are the ones who denied Revelation and hindered you from the Sacred Mosque and the sacrificial animals, detained from reaching their place of sacrifice. Had there not been believing men and believing women whom ye did not know that ye were trampling down and on whose account a crime would have accrued to you without (your) knowledge, (Allah would have allowed you to force your way, but He held back your hands) that He may admit to His Mercy whom He will. If they had been apart, We should certainly have punished the Unbelievers among them with a grievous Punishment. |

CSPICE_GFRFOV determine time intervals when a specified ray intersects the
space bounded by the field-of-view (FOV) of a specified instrument.
Given:
Parameters-
All parameters described here are declared in the header file
SpiceGF.h. See that file for parameter values.
SPICE_GF_CNVTOL
is the convergence tolerance used for finding endpoints of
the intervals comprising the result window.
SPICE_GF_CNVTOL is used to determine when binary searches
for roots should terminate: when a root is bracketed
within an interval of length SPICE_GF_CNVTOL, the root is
considered to have been found.
The accuracy, as opposed to precision, of roots found
by this routine depends on the accuracy of the input
data. In most cases, the accuracy of solutions will be
inferior to their precision.
SPICE_GF_MAXVRT
is the maximum number of vertices that may be used
to define the boundary of the specified instrument's
field of view.
SPICE_GF_MARGIN
is a small positive number used to constrain the
orientation of the boundary vectors of polygonal
FOVs. Such FOVs must satisfy the following constraints:
1) The boundary vectors must be contained within
a right circular cone of angular radius less
than (pi/2) - SPICE_GF_MARGIN radians; in other
words, there must be a vector A such that all
boundary vectors have angular separation from
A of less than (pi/2)-SPICE_GF_MARGIN radians.
2) There must be a pair of boundary vectors U, V
such that all other boundary vectors lie in
the same half space bounded by the plane
containing U and V. Furthermore, all other
boundary vectors must have orthogonal
projections onto a plane normal to this plane
such that the projections have angular
separation of at least 2*SPICE_GF_MARGIN radians
from the plane spanned by U and V.
Arguments-
inst the string naming the instrument, such as a
spacecraft-mounted framing camera, the field of view
(FOV) of which is to be used for an target intersection
search: the direction from the observer to a target
is represented by a ray, and times when the specified
ray intersects the region of space bounded by the FOV
are sought.
[1,c1] = size(inst); char = class(inst)
The position of the instrument designated by 'inst' is
considered to coincide with that of the ephemeris
object designated by the input argument 'obsrvr' (see
description below).
'inst' must have a corresponding NAIF ID and a frame
defined, as is normally done in a frame kernel. It
must also have an associated reference frame and a FOV
shape, boresight and boundary vertices (or reference
vector and reference angles) defined, as is usually
done in an instrument kernel.
See the header of the Mice routine cspice_getfov for a
description of the required parameters associated with
an instrument.
raydir the ray pointing toward a target. The ray emanates from
the location of the ephemeris object designated by the
input argument 'obsrvr' and is expressed relative to the
reference frame designated by 'rframe' (see descriptions
below).
[3,1] = size(raydir); double = class(raydir)
rframe the string naming the reference frame associated with
the input ray's direction vector 'raydir'.
Since light time corrections are not supported for
rays, the orientation of the frame is always evaluated
at the epoch associated with the observer, as opposed
to the epoch associated with the light-time corrected
position of the frame center.
[1,c2] = size(rframe); char = class(rframe)
Case and leading or trailing blanks bracketing a non-blank
frame name are not significant in the string 'rframe'.
abcorr the string indicating the aberration corrections
to apply when computing the 'raydir' direction.
[1,c3] = size(abcorr); char = class(abcorr)
The supported aberration correction options are
'NONE' No correction.
'S' Stellar aberration correction,
reception case.
'XS' Stellar aberration correction,
transmission case.
For detailed information, see the geometry finder required
reading, gf.req.
Case, leading and trailing blanks are not significant
in the string 'abcorr'.
obsrvr the string naming the body from which the target
represented by 'raydir' is observed. The instrument designated
by 'inst' is treated as if it were co-located with the observer.
[1,c4] = size(obsrvr); char = class(obsrvr)
Optionally, you may supply the ID code of the object as an
integer string. For example, both 'EARTH' and '399' are
legitimate strings to supply to indicate the observer
is Earth.
step the step size to use in the search. 'step' must be shorter
than any interval, within the confinement window, over which
the specified occultation condition is met. In other words,
'step' must be shorter than the shortest occultation event
the user wishes to detect; 'step' must also be shorter than
the shortest time interval between two occultation events that
occur within the confinement window (see below). However,
'step' must not be *too* short, or the search will take
an unreasonable amount of time.
[1,1] = size(step); double = class(step)
The choice of 'step' affects the completeness but not
the precision of solutions found by this routine; the
precision is controlled by the convergence tolerance.
See the discussion of the parameter SPICE_GF_CNVTOL for
details.
'step' has units of TDB seconds.
cnfine the SPICE window that confines the time
period over which the specified search is conducted.
'cnfine' may consist of a single interval or a collection
of intervals.
[2m,1] = size(cnfine); double = class(cnfine)
In some cases the confinement window can be used to
greatly reduce the time period that must be searched
for the desired solution. See the Particulars section
below for further discussion.
nintvls the maximum number of intervals to return in 'result'.
Note: this value should equal at least the number of expected
intervals. Recall two double precision values define
an interval.
[1,1] = size(nintvls); int32 = class(nintvls)
the call:
result = cspice_gfrfov( inst, raydir, rframe, abcorr, ...
obsrvr, step, cnfine, nintvls)
returns:
result the SPICE window of intervals, contained within the
confinement window 'cnfine', on which the specified
constraint is satisfied.
[2n,1] = size(result); double = class(result)
If the search is for local extrema, or for absolute
extrema with adjust set to zero, then normally each
interval of result will be a singleton: the left and
right endpoints of each interval will be identical.
If no times within the confinement window satisfy the
constraint, 'result' will return with cardinality zero.
Any numerical results shown for this example may differ between
platforms as the results depend on the SPICE kernels used as input
and the machine specific arithmetic implementation.
This example is an extension of the example in the
header of
cspice_gftfov
The problem statement for that example is
Search for times when Saturn's satellite Phoebe is within the
FOV of the Cassini narrow angle camera (CASSINI_ISS_NAC). To
simplify the problem, restrict the search to a short time
period where continuous Cassini bus attitude data are
available.
Use a step size of 10 seconds to reduce chances of missing
short visibility events.
Here we search the same confinement window for times when a
selected background star is visible. We use the FOV of the
Cassini ISS wide angle camera (CASSINI_ISS_WAC) to enhance the
probability of viewing the star.
The star we'll use has catalog number 6000 in the Hipparcos
Catalog. The star's J2000 right ascension and declination,
proper motion, and parallax are taken from that catalog.

This routine determines a set of one or more time intervals when
the specified ray in contained within the field of view of a
specified instrument. We'll use the term "visibility event" to
designate such an appearance. The set of time intervals resulting
from the search is returned as a SPICE window.
The Search Process
==================
The search for visibility events is treated as a search for state
transitions: times are sought when the state of the ray
changes from "not visible" to "visible" or vice versa.
Step Size
=========
Each interval of the confinement window is searched as follows:
first, the input step size is used to determine the time
separation at which the visibility state will be sampled.
Starting at the left endpoint of an interval, samples will be
taken at each step. If a state change is detected, a root has
been bracketed; at that point, the "root"--the time at which the
state change occurs---is found by a refinement process, for
example, by a binary search.
Note that the optimal choice of step size depends on the lengths
of the intervals over which the visibility state is constant:
the step size should be shorter than the shortest visibility event
duration and the shortest period between visibility events, within
the confinement window.
Having some knowledge of the relative geometry of the ray and
observer can be a valuable aid in picking a reasonable step size.
In general, the user can compensate for lack of such knowledge by
picking a very short step size; the cost is increased computation
time.
Note that the step size is not related to the precision with which
the endpoints of the intervals of the result window are computed.
That precision level is controlled by the convergence tolerance.
Convergence Tolerance
=====================
Once a root has been bracketed, a refinement process is used to
narrow down the time interval within which the root must lie.
This refinement process terminates when the location of the root
has been determined to within an error margin called the
"convergence tolerance." The convergence tolerance used by this
routine is set by the parameter SPICE_GF_CNVTOL.
The value of SPICE_GF_CNVTOL is set to a "tight" value so that the
tolerance doesn't become the limiting factor in the accuracy of
solutions found by this routine. In general the accuracy of input
data will be the limiting factor.
The user may change the convergence tolerance from the default
SPICE_GF_CNVTOL value by calling the routine cspice_gfstol, e.g.
cspice_gfstol( tolerance value in seconds )
Call cspice_gfstol prior to calling this routine. All subsequent
searches will use the updated tolerance value.
Setting the tolerance tighter than SPICE_GF_CNVTOL is unlikely to be
useful, since the results are unlikely to be more accurate.
Making the tolerance looser will speed up searches somewhat,
since a few convergence steps will be omitted. However, in most
cases, the step size is likely to have a much greater affect on
processing time than would the convergence tolerance.
The Confinement Window
======================
The simplest use of the confinement window is to specify a time
interval within which a solution is sought. However, the
confinement window can, in some cases, be used to make searches
more efficient. Sometimes it's possible to do an efficient search
to reduce the size of the time period over which a relatively
slow search of interest must be performed.

Mushrooms - P. cubensis
I am 16 years old. This happened over a year ago so the details are a bit fuzzy, but I think this experience is worth sharing. My previous experiences with drugs before this were lots of reefer, Hawaiian Baby Woodrose, and alcohol.
It was a day after Thanksgiving in 2004.  My dealer called me up in the afternoon and asked me if I wanted some 'shroom bars', which were ice cube sized chocolate bars with chopped mushrooms inside of them. I got 1 shroom bar for 20 bucks. I was told that there was about an eighth in the bars but I later concluded from my experience and from the accounts of everyone else I knew who purchased the shroom bars that there was probably a little bit less than that, but that wasn't important.
When my parents fell asleep, I pulled the shroom bar out of the freezer and let it thaw in my room for a few minutes. I took a butter knife and carefully sawed (it was frozen) the bar in half. I was given specific instructions from the man I bought it from to eat half a bar and an hour into it, if I wanted to trip harder, go ahead and eat the rest. I ate the first half.
I hung out in my room for about forty five minutes with no noticable effects except for increased sensitivity to light. After about an hour, I was kind of pissed that I wasn't tripping yet. Later I learned that this was not the right attitude to have. But anyway, I ate the rest of the shroom bar, expecting little to no effects. About an hour and fifteen minutes after ingesting the first half, I decided to get on my computer and chat with some of my more drug experienced friends. I talked to my two pseudonymous friends, Tom and Kevin. Tom loved drugs. I figured he would be a good person to talk to about the effects of mushrooms. The strongest drug Kevin ever tried was alcohol. Kevin is a good friend of mine though and was pretty tolerant to people that do drugs. Here's how my online conversation went with Tom (summarized and shortened):
Tom: You eat them shrooms?
Me: Yeah, man I ate them like a half an eighth bout an hour ago. I wasn't feeling anything so I decided to eat the rest.
 In about a half hour, you'll be brain dead.
Me: The good kind or the bad kind?
Tom: The good kind
This was comforting. I was having a conversation with Kevin, which consisted mostly of him poking fun at me and typing trippy things to me. And suddenly, while I was talking to him, the text on the screen shuddered. Suddenly it was very difficult for me to read, similar to trying to read text in a dream. I explained to Kevin that I was gonna go to my room and trip. I walked into my room, with a feeling of sudden euphoria and it felt like my body weighed less. I was surprised at how abruptly the effects kicked in. Tom's words seemed almost prophetic.
I laid down on my bed and just stared at the ceiling with a feeling of total well being. Not a care in the world. I was just so HAPPY! I slowly drifted farther and farther into this world of euphoria. I closed my eyes for just a minute. Instantly, I felt my existence spill into the cosmos. My spirit became part of the eternal, singular consciousness that is the universe. I realized it was this consciousness that created me and everything that can be considered something. I saw everything and I saw nothing. I had some closed eye visuals. They were pretty intense but I still consider them secondary to this whole experience. It's very difficult to try to explain what I saw. It was like flying through a black and white striped tunnel at a very high speed. I opened my eyes. I must be peaking, I thought to myself. Once again, I closed my eyes and experienced this shared awareness with the universe for about an hour. This was the single greatest experience of my life.
I opened my eyes and realized I was crying because I was so happy. So filled with joy. I saw the world as a whole. I knew there was so much good, but at the same time I did not deny the bad. But it just all made sense. Everything made sense. I spent the next hour, analyzing my own psyche. I pointed out to myself specific childhood events that made me what I am today. To this day, I still have a better understanding of myself. I spent the rest of the trip just thinking about my future. I thought about all the opportunities I had. After all I was 15 years old and still had decent grades in school.
Also, for the remainder of the trip, I noticed that I had this really cool feeling where everything my brain perceived from my five senses would register as one sensation. This was disorienting but at the same time, it was really cool. After a while, I came down. I still had an afterglow which kept me slightly above baseline, but still able to function for the most part. I wrote a few philosophy rants and just hung out. The afterglow kept me up until five in the morning. Every time I fell asleep it felt like I was tripping again. But eventually I fell asleep and in the morning, I just felt drained. I was pretty apathetic to everything that went on, but luckily it was an uneventful day.
This was the most rewarding trip I've ever had on any drug. It endowed me with so much insight. I learned some crucial lessons that night. One was that I learned why I am who I am. Secondly, I could imagine what a spirit is. A spirit is the raw core of a human being. Whether it exists psychologically or supernaturally is something I couldn't distinguish. But that wasn't really important. A spirit is the essence of a human being. Even though a person's psychology can change, the spirit never changes. I believe that our minds, at a core, structural level revolve around the spirit.  I dunno. And finally, I learned that reality is TOTALLY subjective. The only thing that makes it what it is to me is how I perceive senses. Of course there is some raw, physical reality, which is the container of all that is tangible and material. But reality as I know it is entirely dictated by my minds and my senses.

Usage: qiime deblur denoise-other [OPTIONS]
Perform sequence quality control for Illumina data using the Deblur
workflow, including positive alignment-based filtering. Only forward reads
are supported at this time. This mode of execution is particularly useful
when operating on non-16S data. For example, to apply Deblur to 18S data,
you would want to specify a reference composed of 18S sequences in order
to filter out sequences which do not appear to be 18S. The assessment is
performed by local alignment using SortMeRNA with a permissive e-value
threshold.
Inputs:

PKGENPACK(1) [FIXME: manual] PKGENPACK(1) NAME pkgenpack - PackageKit Pack Generator SYNOPSIS pkgenpack [--help] [--verbose] [--with-package-list] [--output] [--package] [--updates] DESCRIPTION This manual page documents briefly the pkgenpack command. pkgenpack is the command line client for PackageKit for creating service packs.  A service pack is a tarball which contains a set of packages and their dependencies. The user can reduce the dependencies to be packed using the --with-package-list option. Along with the dependencies, a service pack has a file named metadata.conf which contains the information about the distribution and creation date of the pack. CREATING A SERVICE PACK? A service pack is created using the command pkgenpack. OPTIONS This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. --help Show summary of options. --verbose Show extra debugging information. --with-package-list Set the filename of dependencies to be excluded. Generally, the file list of packages is generated when doing a PackageKit refresh on the target system. If not specified, pkgenpack uses /var/lib/PackageKit/system.package-list by default. --output The directory to put the pack file, or the current directory if omitted. --package The package to be put into the ServicePack. --update Put all updates available in the ServicePack. NAMING A SERVICE PACK The only valid extension for a service pack is ".servicepack". EXAMPLES 1. Tim is facing problems with his Internet connection at home. He needs a service pack with valgrind and it's dependencies for his system. He asks James to generate a pack for him. Both know James's system should contain similar packages as Tim's system, as both of them have installed Fedora 9 two days ago. James simply runs: [james@jamesbook:~]$ pkgenpack --output=/media/USB/TimPacks --package=valgrind This generates a file /media/USB/TimPacks/valgrind-fedora-9-i686.servicepack on the USB key Tim gave to James. Tim can now go home, insert the USB key and double clicks on the valgrind-fedora-9-i686.servicepack file to be prompted to install these packages. 2. Bill wants to create a service pack named kdegames-fedora-9-i686.servicepack for his new system which does not have an internet connection. He generates a list of packages on his system using pkcon list-create and copies that list to his USB key. He then gives that USB to Rishi who has a good internet connectivity. Rishi runs the following command on his system: [rishi@devils-temple:~]$ pkgenpack --with-package-list=/media/USB/bill.package-list \ --output=/home/rishi/Desktop --program=kdegames This generates a service pack, kdegames-fedora-9-i686.servicepack, on Rishi's Desktop, which can be distributed to Bill and users with similar requirements. INSTALLING A SERVICE PACK Service Packs can be installed using pkcon. For example: [hacker@tim-lounge:~]$ pkcon install /media/USB/TimPacks/valgrind-fedora-9-i686.servicepack SEE ALSO pkmon (1). pkcon(1).

IOSpec is a library containing a pure specification of several functions in the IO monad. You can use these specifications to test, debug, and reason about impure code. IntroductionTo get a taste of what you can do, consider an implementation of an 'imperative' queue that uses pointers to build a linked list: import Test.IOSpec data Queue = Queue {front :: IORef Cell, back :: IORef Cell} data Cell = Cell Int (IORef Cell) | NULL emptyQueue :: IOSpec IORefS Queue enqueue :: Queue -> Int -> IOSpec IORefS () () dequeue :: Queue -> IOSpec IORefS (Maybe Int) |
Values of type IOSpec IORefS a
correspond to
computations that use IORefs, but no other parts of the IO monad,
and return a value of type a
. By convention, a
trailing 'S' is used to denote a specification. For example,
values of type IOSpec MVarS a
correspond to IO
computations using just MVars.
These specifications are pure functions, running on a pure Virtual Machine, that behave the same as their IO counterparts. Using tools such as QuickCheck and the GHCi debugger we can test and debug our implementation of queues as if it was pure. For example, we may want to check that the following property holds:
fifoProp :: [Int] -> Bool fifoProp xs = evalIOSpec enqDeq singleThreaded == Done xs where enqDeq :: IOSpec IORefS [Int] enqDeq = do q <- emptyQueue forM_ xs (enqueue q) unfoldM dequeue qThat is, starting from an empty queue, enqueuing and subsequently dequeuing any list of integers should return the original list. Note that this property does not require
unsafePerformIO
or any such hacks: the
evalIOSpec
function is entirely pure. It is
parameterized by the scheduler, allowing you to test your code with
different scheduling algorithms to maximize code coverage. Once we
are satisfied with our implementation, we can import
Data.IORef and use real IORefs, instead of the pure
specification provided by IOSpec.
The IOSpec library is not restricted to IORefs. There are also
pure specifications of concurrency, STM, and teletype primitives.
These specifications can be combined as you see fit: you can
define your own IOSpec
monad à la
carte. For example, when writing concurrent code you may
want use just MVars and forkIO
:
type Concurrent a = IOSpec (MVarS :+: ForkS) aFunctions of type
Concurrent a
may use IO
functions such as newEmptyMVar
or forkIO
.
But using putStr
in the Concurrent
monad,
for example, will cause a type error. You may want to
browse the API to get a better idea of how the library is
organized.
Haskell's careful treatment of IO shows how being precise about effects can help you write more reliable code. I'd like to think that the IOSpec library takes some of these ideas one step further.
A tarball containing the sources is available.
Alternatively, you may want to check out the following darcs repository:

Browse the Haddock-ed source code.
The examples directory that comes with the sources contains several well-documented examples.
The ideas underlying the implementation are described in the following papers:

This page allows you to change some options for templates that apply to all files.
The default template display options are no longer settable here. Use the Save As Default button on the Document General Options page after setting the template display from the Template View Display.
Number of fixed array elements
For large arrays (with constant element size) it may be faster to display only the first few elements of arrays. This setting allows you to change how many elements are displayed.
Change Templates Folder
Click this button to change the location that HexEdit Pro uses to load and save templates By default this is under your Application data area. For example in Windows XP this is something like:
C:\Documents and Settings\<login>\Application Data\ECSoftware\HexEdit
Under Vista it is something like:
C:\Users\<login>\AppData\Roaming\ECSoftware\HexEdit
Note that if you move the location of the folder you need to copy several required template files into it (as well as any other templates that you want to use). You can copy them from the previous templates folder, but they are also present in the folder where HexEdit Pro is installed (usually C:\Program Files\HexEditPro).
The files you need are BinaryFileFormat.DTD and Default.XML. If you use the C/C++ source parser you also need _standard_types.XML, _common_types.XML, _windows_types.XML, and _windows_constants.TXT (all these file names start with an underscore). If you have saved constants and/or types from earlier parses you can copy these in the files _custom_types.XML and _custom_constants.TXT.
Default format strings
These strings determine how data elements of a template are displayed if the template file does not explicitly specify the format. For example, you may want to see unsigned integers displayed in hex (%x) rather than decimal (%u). Refer to C language printf format specifications for more information, and strftime for date formats.


In the High Court of Judicature at Madras Dated: 22/03/2004 Coram The Hon'ble Mr. Justice P. SATHASIVAM C.R.P.(PD) No.2218 of 1999 and C.R.P. (PD) No. 2219 of 1999 and CMP.No.12289 of 1999 1. The General Manager Telecommunications, Trichy. 2. The Accounts Officer Telecommunications, Trichy. 3. The Deputy General manager Telecommunications, Karur. 4. The Divisional Engineer (Urban) Telecommunications, Karur. 5. The Sub Divisional Officer (Phones) Telecommunications, Karur. 6. The Junior Engineer Telecommunications, Karur. .. Petrs. In CRP.2218/99 The General Manager Telecommunications, Trichy. .. Petr. In CRP.2219/99 -Vs- K. Natrayan .. Respondent in both the CRPs., Revision Petitions filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India against the common order of the learned District Munsif, Karur dated 29.04.1999 made in I.A.Nos.121 and 166 of 1999 in O.S.No.107 of 1999. !For petitioners : Mr. K. Kumar,A.C.G.S.C. ^For respondent : Mr. K. V. Sundararajan ..
:COMMON ORDER Aggrieved by the common order passed by the learned District Munsif, Karur dated 29.04.1999 made in I.A.No.121 and 166 of 1999, the General Manager, Telecommunications, Trichy and others have preferred the above revisions under Article 227 of the Constitution of India.
2. The respondent herein - former Member of Parliament has filed a civil suit in O.S.No.107 of 1999 on the file of District Munsif, Karur, praying for declaration, declaring the action of the defendants in disconnecting the suit telephone connections as illegal, arbitrary and also prayed for decree of mandatory injunction directing the defendants to restore the suit telephone connections. The plaintiff has also prayed for permanent injunction restraining the defendants from disconnecting the suit telephone connections without giving any show cause notice. Pending disposal of the said suit, the petitioner / plaintiff filed I.A.No.121 of 1999, praying for mandatory injunction restraining the respondents / defendants to restore the suit telephone connections till the disposal of the suit and also prayed for adinterim mandatory injunction to the same effect. The said application was resisted by the Telephone Department by filing counter affidavit. Since the Court below has granted interim injunction, the respondents / defendants filed separate petition for vacating the said injunction order. Both the applications were heard together. As many as Exs.A.1 to A.11 were marked on the side of the petitioner / plaintiff and Exs.B.1 to B.18 on the side of the respondents / defendants. By the impugned order dated 29.04.1999, the learned District Munsif disposed of the said applications by referring the matter in dispute for arbitration under Section 7-B of the Indian Telegraph Act, 1957 (in short "the Act"). In the same order, the learned Judge directed the parties to maintain status quo and not interfere with the usage of the telephone connections by the petitioner. Questioning the said common order, the Telecommunication Department has filed the above revisions.
3. Heard the learned Additional Central Government standing counsel for the petitioners and the learned counsel for the respondent.
4. Even at the foremost, Mr. Kumar, learned Additional Central Government standing counsel appearing for the petitioners would submit that in the light of the fact that the issue raised / questioned relates to dispute concerning telephone, as per Section 7-B of the Act, the proper course is to agitate the same by way of arbitration proceedings and the same cannot be entertained by the Civil Court. He also contended that no direction of any nature can be granted by the Court. On the other hand, the learned counsel appearing for the respondents would submit that till award being passed, as per Sub-section (2) of Section 7-B of the Act, he is free to move the competent civil Court to vindicate his grievance.
5. I have carefully considered the rival submissions.
6. There is no dispute that the respondent / plaintiff is a former Member of Parliament and the dispute relates to suit telephone Nos.60 777 and 63777. The dispute arose due to disconnection of the above telephones on 16.02.1999 for non payment of charges. In this regard, it is useful to refer the relevant provision, namely 7-B (1) and (2) of the Indian Telegraph Act, 1957.
" 7-B. Arbitration of disputes.-
(1) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Act, if any dispute concerning any telegraph line, appliance or apparatus arises between the telegraph authority and the person for whose benefit the line, appliance or apparatus, is, or has been, provided, the dispute shall be determined by arbitration and shall, for the purposes of such determination, be referred to an arbitrator appointed by the Central Government either specially for the determination of that dispute or generally for the determination of the disputes under this Section.
(2) The award of the arbitrator appointed under sub-section (1) shall be conclusive between the parties to the dispute and shall not be questioned in any Court. "
7. By drawing my attention to the said provision, particularly sub-section (1) of Section 7-B of the Act, the learned Additional Central Government standing counsel submits that inasmuch as the dispute relates to telephone disconnection / non payment of the dues, in view of the bar under sub-section (1) referred to above, the same cannot be agitated and considered before the civil Court; the only remedy available is by way of arbitration proceedings. The learned counsel also refers Section 9 of the Code of Civil Procedure (in short "CPC"), which says that the civil Courts have jurisdiction to try all suits of a civil nature excepting suits of which their cognizance is either expressly or impliedly barred. In view of Section 9 of CPC and in the light of the bar provided under sub-section (1) of Section 7-B of the Act, it is contended that the civil Court has no jurisdiction to entertain a suit of this nature, particularly filed by the plaintiff.
8. Before considering the objection raised by the learned counsel for the respondent, based on sub-section (2) of Section 7-B of the Act, let me consider the decisions relied on by the learned Additional Central Government standing counsel appearing for the petitioners. In the case of G.P. Chovatin vs. C.G.M., Gujarat Telecom Circle reported in A.I.R. 1996 Gujarat 153, Division Bench of the said Court, after referring the very same provision, namely 7-B (1) and (2) of the Act has held, "9. The learned single Judge was therefore, right in coming to the conclusion that an adequate alternative remedy, under the Telegraphs Act by way of arbitration, was available. In fact, due to the existence of Section 7-B, even the jurisdiction of the Civil Courts under Section 9 of the Code of Civil Procedure would be regarded as impliedly ousted. Therefore, even a civil suit challenging the correctness of the bills so raised would not be maintainable in a Civil Court. .... "
9. There is also a judgment of this Court in the case of G.M., Madras Telephones vs. Dr. Mrs. Irfana Hameed reported in A.I.R. 1999 Madras 228, in which the Division Bench had an occasion to consider whether the dispute relating to excess telephone billing can be agitated by way of writ petition exercising jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. In the light of Section 7-B of the Act, the Division Bench after considering the relevant statutory provision as well as earlier decisions of the Apex Court has concluded that, "19. .... The power to refer the dispute has been given by Parliament only with a view to see that the authority acts within reasonable limits and that when the subscriber disputes the correctness of the meter reading or operation of the apparatus etc., instead of litigating the dispute in a Civil Court, it should be decided by the Arbitrator under Section 7-B. Obviously, pending proceedings the Act intended to operate without undue delay to secure public revenue and also flow of electrical operation envisaged under the Act. Under those circumstances, we are of the view that the Court is right in directing that the authority under the Act is enjoined to make reference under Section 7-B without any direction by the Court and if need be it is for the subscriber to approach the Court. "
10. Yet another decision relied on by the learned Additional Central Government standing counsel is of the Supreme Court in the case of Munshi Ram vs. Chheharta Municipality reported in A.I.R. 1979 S.C. 12 50. The said decision relates to civil proceeding, questioning the demand of profession tax under Punjab Municipal Act.
11. It is also worthwhile to refer the unreported decision of this Court dated 13.12.1996. The said decision arose under Water Act. After referring Section 58 of the Water Act, the Division Bench has concluded thus, "5. ..... Therefore, it is clear that in respect of any matter which is required to be dealt with by the Pollution Control Board and the Appellate Authority constituted under the Water Act, no suit can be entertained by a Civil Court. Similarly, no injunction can be granted by any Court or Authority in respect of any action taken or to be taken in pursuance of any power conferred by or under the Water Act on the Pollution Control Board or the Appellate Authority. "
Similarly, after referring Section 46 of the Air Act, the Division Bench has concluded, "6. .... It is also clear from the aforesaid provision which is similarly worded as that of Section 58 of the Water Act that the matters which are required be dealt with by the Pollution Control Board and the Appellate Authority are not taken away from the cognizance of the Civil Courts. No injunction also can be granted by the Civil Courts or any other Authority in respect of any action taken or to be taken, pursuant to any power conferred under the Act.
Similar conclusion has also been arrived based on Section 22 of the Environment Act.
12. If we consider these decisions with reference to Section 7-B (1 ) and (2) of the Act as well as Section 9 of CPC, it leads to an irresistible conclusion that for any dispute relating to telephone line, appliance or apparatus arises between the telegraph authority and the person for whose benefit the line, appliance or apparatus, is, or has been provided, the dispute shall be determined by arbitration and the same cannot be agitated before the civil Court. No doubt, the learned counsel for the respondent would submit that inasmuch as no award has been passed by the Arbitrator appointed under Sub-section (1) of Section 7-B of the Act, till such award being passed, the subscriber is free to challenge the same before the civil Court. In the light of the embargo with reference to subject in question which has clearly spelt out in sub-section (1) and as explained and interpreted by this Court as well as the Apex Court, I am unable to accept the said contention. Though the sub-section (1) provides that it is for the concerned authority to refer the dispute fo r an arbitration, if there is any doubt or dispute regarding the subject provided under subsection (1), the subscriber can very well request the authority concerned to refer the question for adjudication by way of arbitration proceedings. In such a circumstance, though the plaintiff withdrew the suit subsequent to filing of the revisions, I hold that in the light of specific bar under Section 7-B and in view of Section 9 of CPC as well as as explained by catena of decisions that in respect of any dispute relating to the matter specifically provided in sub-section (1), the only remedy for the affected person to resolve the same is by way of arbitration proceedings and the civil Court has no jurisdiction to entertain the suit of this nature.
Under these circumstances, the impugned common order passed by the learned District Munsif in I.A.Nos.121 and 166 of 1999, is set aside. However, it is brought to my notice that the dispute in question is now pending before the Arbitrator under Section 7-B of the Act and in view of the order passed by this Court on 28.08.2003 in W.P.No.558 0 of 2002, the Arbitrator is free to pass final award as directed in that order. With the above observation, both the revisions are allowed. No costs. Consequently, connected CMP., is closed.
