Hans Raj Khanna

Hans Raj Khanna ( 3 July 1912 – 25 February 2008 ) was an advocate , jurist and judge .

He entered the Indian judiciary in 1952 and subsequently was elevated as a judge to the Supreme Court of India in 1971 where he continued till his resignation in 1977 .

Two of his judgements form the basis of modern constitutional law in India , even decades after those were delivered .

He is noted for his minority judgement in the highly publicized Habeas Corpus case during the Indian Emergency , in which the remaining four judges of the bench , Chief Justice A. N. Ray , Justice M. H. Beg , Justice Y. V. Chandrachud and Justice P. N. Bhagwati , agreed with the governmental view that even the fundamental rights enshrined in the Constitution of India like the right to life stood abrogated during the period of national emergency .

Khanna 's judgement was the only dissenting vote , and his opinion , claiming that the Constitution could not possibly intend to make the fundamental rights to life and liberty to be subjected to executive decree for these are inalienable to one 's life and dignified existence , is widely extolled as a show of judicial valor in defending the fundamental rights to life and liberty in the Indian democracy .

In January 1977 , after delivering the Habeas Corpus judgement , he was superseded for the post of Chief Justice by Justice M. H. Beg at the behest of the then Prime Minister of India Indira Gandhi , despite being the senior - most judge in the Supreme Court and as a result of this , he promptly resigned from the court .

Khanna had previously authored the basic structure doctrine of the Constitution of India in Kesavananda Bharati v. State of Kerala , which curtailed Parliament 's seemingly unfettered amending power under article 368 , restricting its scope of amendment in areas which were part of the Constitution 's " basic structure " .

After resigning from the Supreme Court on getting superseded by Justice M. H. Beg to the office of the Chief Justice of India , he served as the central minister of law and justice for a very short period and was later made a combined opposition - sponsored candidate for election as President in 1982 , losing to Zail Singh .

In 1999 , he was awarded the Padma Vibhushan , the second highest civilian honour given by the Government of India .


The Young Ones (video game)

The Young Ones is a video game based on the British comedy television series , The Young Ones .

The game takes place in the students ' home .

The player can choose to play as either Vyvyan , Rick , Neil , or Mike to explore the house and enter different rooms .

The other characters become computer - controlled players .

All characters can move around the house , pick up and drop objects , as well as break and fix things .

The characters often talk , giving the player clues as to what the character is intended to do .

The aim of the game is to try and move out of the house with all the character 's belongings in the shortest time possible .

This is not so easy , because these possessions are typically not in their preferred condition , or are hidden around the house , and players need various tools to get to them .

The other characters will move around the house , behaving in - character , occasionally moving around or further damaging the possessions - making the task harder .

The game was published by Orpheus Software , based in Hatley St George in Bedfordshire , UK .

The concept of the game was created by Orpheus director Paul Kaufman ( previously director of Oric software house , Tansoft ) .

The majority of the game was programmed by John Marshall , with input from Geoff Phillips .

The characters of The Young Ones were licensed from the owners of the BBC television series , Ben Elton , Rik Mayall , and Lise Mayer .

Due to difficulty in licensing the original series music from the BBC , an alternative music sound track was commissioned to sound similar to the original theme .

Over 10,000 copies of the game were sold , mainly through Boots stores , Woolworths and independent computer stores .

Critical appraisal of the Book of Abraham

The Book of Abraham is an 1835 work produced by the Latter Day Saints ( LDS ) movement founder Joseph Smith that he said was based on Egyptian papyri purchased from a traveling mummy exhibition .

According to Smith , the book was " a translation of some ancient records ... purporting to be the writings of Abraham , while he was in Egypt , called the Book of Abraham , written by his own hand , upon papyrus " .

The work was first published in 1842 and today is a canonical part of the Pearl of Great Price .

Since its printing , the Book of Abraham has been a source of controversy .

Non - LDS Egyptologists , beginning in the late-19th century , have heavily criticized Joseph Smith 's explanations of the facsimiles , with many stating that his interpretations are entirely inaccurate .

They have also asserted that damaged portions of the papyri have been reconstructed incorrectly .

The controversy intensified in the late 1960s when portions of the Joseph Smith Papyri were located .

Translations of the papyri revealed the rediscovered portions bore no relation to the Book of Abraham text .

LDS apologist Hugh Nibley and Brigham Young University Egyptologists John L. Gee and Michael D. Rhodes subsequently offered detailed rebuttals to some criticisms .

University of Chicago Egyptologist Robert K. Ritner concluded in 2014 that the source of the Book of Abraham " is the ' Breathing Permit of Hôr , ' misunderstood and mistranslated by Joseph Smith . "

He later said the Book of Abraham is now " confirmed as a perhaps well - meaning , but erroneous invention by Joseph Smith , " and " despite its inauthenticity as a genuine historical narrative , the Book of Abraham remains a valuable witness to early American religious history and to the recourse to ancient texts as sources of modern religious faith and speculation . "

Also , a live version of " Vital Signs " appeared as the B - side to Rush 's " New World Man " single in 1982 ( Mercury # 76179 , US edition ) .

It is also noted for being played during the encore of the Grace Under Pressure Tour ( documented on the Grace Under Pressure Tour Live album and video ) .


Letters from the Earth

Letters from the Earth is a posthumously published work of celebrated American author Mark Twain ( 1835 – 1910 ) collated by Bernard DeVoto .

It comprises essays written during a difficult time in Twain 's life ( 1904 – 09 ) , when he was deeply in debt and had recently lost his wife and one of his daughters .

The content concerns morality and religion and strikes a sarcastic — Twain 's own term throughout the book — tone .

Initially , another of his daughters , Clara Clemens , objected to its publication in March 1939 , probably because of its controversial and iconoclastic views on religion , claiming it presented a " distorted " view of her father .

Henry Nash Smith helped change her position in 1960 .

Clara explained her change of heart in 1962 saying that " Mark Twain belonged to the world " and that public opinion had become more tolerant .

She was also influenced to release the papers by her annoyance with Soviet reports that her father 's ideas were being suppressed in the United States .

The papers were selected , edited and sequenced for the book in 1939 by Bernard DeVoto .

Historian Thomas A. Bailey argues that dollar diplomacy was nothing new , as the use of diplomacy to promote commercial interest dates from the early years of the Republic .

However , under Taft , the State Department was more active than ever in encouraging and supporting American bankers and industrialists in securing new opportunities abroad .

Bailey finds that dollar diplomacy was designed to make both people in foreign lands and the American investors prosper .

The term was originally coined by previous President Theodore Roosevelt , who did not want to intervene between Taft and Taft 's secretary of state .

The concept is relevant to both Liberia , where American loans were given in 1913 , and Latin America .

Latin Americans tend to use the term " dollar diplomacy " disparagingly to show their disapproval of the role that the U.S. government and U.S. corporations have played in using economic , diplomatic and military power to open up foreign markets ,

Of all the films he has starred in , only Sovann Pancha is known to have survived and remained intact .


Private company limited by shares

A private company limited by shares is a class of private limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales , Scotland , certain Commonwealth countries , and the Republic of Ireland .

It has shareholders with limited liability and its shares may not be offered to the general public , unlike those of a public limited company ( plc ) .

" Limited by shares " means that the liability of the shareholders to creditors of the company is limited to the capital originally invested , i.e.

the nominal value of the shares and any premium paid in return for the issue of the shares by the company .

A shareholder 's personal assets are thus protected in the event of the company 's insolvency , but any money invested in the company may be lost .

A limited company may be " private " or " public " .

A private limited company 's disclosure requirements are lighter , but its shares may not be offered to the general public and therefore can not be traded on a public stock exchange .

This is the major difference between a private limited company and a public limited company .

Most companies , particularly small companies , are private .

Private companies limited by shares are usually required to have the suffix " Limited " ( often written " Ltd " or " Ltd. " ) or " Incorporated " ( " Inc. " ) as part of their name , though the latter can not be used in the UK or the Republic of Ireland .

may be used by Welsh companies in a similar fashion .

In the Republic of Ireland " Teoranta " ( " Teo . " )

may be used instead , largely in Gaeltacht areas .

Fall Dog Bombs the Moon

" Fall Dog Bombs the Moon " is a song written by David Bowie in 2003 for his album Reality .

According to Bowie himself at the time of the album release , " It came from reading an article about Kellogg Brown & Root , a subsidiary of Halliburton , the company that Dick Cheney used to run .

Basically , Kellogg Brown & Root got the job of cleaning up Iraq .

What tends to happen is that a thing like an issue or a policy manifests itself as a guide .

It becomes a character of some kind , like the one in Fall Dog .

There 's this guy saying , ' I 'm goddamn rich ' .

You know , ' Throw anything you like at me , baby , because I 'm goddamn rich .

Biographer Nicholas Pegg wrote his own interpretation of the song : " The key on this occasion is the fearful predicament of global politics at the time of the Reality sessions .

The album was recorded during the preamble to , and the prosecution of , the Iraq War , and it 's impossible to hear lyrics like ' I do n't care much , I 'll win anyway ... /I'm goddamn rich , an exploding man / When I talk in the night , there 's oil on my hands ' without pondering their most obvious resonance .

It would n't be particularly extravagant to surmise that the ' Moon ' of the title suggests the Crescent Moon of Islam , thereby narrowing down the candidates for ' Fall Dog ' fairly decisively . "

Pegg concludes writing that the song cocks a " contemptuous at the increasing predilection of political parties to find ' someone to hate ' while jumping into bed with business corporations " and that dialogue with other Bowie 's songs like " Fantastic Voyage " , " Loving the Alien " and " I 'm Afraid of Americans " .

" Fall Dog Bombs the Moon " is based on short melodic motives , the kind that seemed to permeate his previous album , Heathen .

A live performance of the song , recorded in November 2003 during the A Reality Tour , is included on the A Reality Tour album , released in 2010 .

The statute did not intrude on federal jurisdiction over inter - jurisdictional railways , under s. 91(29 ) and s. 92(10 ) of the Constitution Act , 1867 .

Destroyer escort

Destroyer escort ( DE ) was the United States Navy mid-20th - century classification for a warship designed with endurance to escort mid - ocean convoys of merchant marine ships .

Kaibōkan were designed for a similar role in the Imperial Japanese Navy .

The Royal Navy and Commonwealth forces identified such warships as frigates , and that classification was widely accepted when the United States redesignated destroyer escorts as frigates ( FF ) in 1975 .

Destroyer escorts , frigates , and kaibōkan were mass - produced for World War II as a less expensive antisubmarine warfare alternative to fleet destroyers .

Other similar warships include the 10 Kriegsmarine escort ships of the F - class and the two Amiral Murgescu - class vessels of the Romanian Navy .

Postwar destroyer escorts and frigates were larger than those produced during wartime , with increased antiaircraft capability , but remained smaller and slower than postwar destroyers .

As Cold War destroyer escorts became as large as wartime destroyers , the United States Navy converted some of their World War II destroyers to escort destroyers ( DDE ) .


Midnight at the Lost and Found

Midnight at the Lost and Found is a 1983 album by Meat Loaf .

This would be the final Meat Loaf release under Epic Records until The Very Best of Meat Loaf ( 1998 ) .

Following a dispute with his former songwriter Jim Steinman , Meat Loaf was contractually obliged to release a new album .

According to Meat Loaf , Steinman gave him " Total Eclipse of the Heart " and " Making Love Out of Nothing at All " for the album , but Meat Loaf 's record company refused to pay for Steinman .

The songs Steinman had given to Meat Loaf were then given to Bonnie Tyler and Air Supply respectively , which both became hits in their respective countries and worldwide .

Struggling for time and with no resolution to his arguments with Steinman seemingly on the horizon ( eventually , Steinman and Meat Loaf would sue one another ) , he was forced to find songwriters wherever he could , including writing the songs himself .

Meat Loaf is credited with being involved in the writing of numerous tracks on the album , including the title track .

However , as Meat would later admit , he was not much of a songwriter and did not like the songs he had written for the album .

It was also regarded by fans and critics alike as a poor effort whether compared to previous releases or on its own merit .

Those same fans and critics were disappointed to see that the iconic pictures on the covers of Bat Out of Hell and Dead Ringer were replaced by a black - and - white photograph of Meat Loaf .

( On some later re - releases , a color image of a screaming Meat Loaf was used as the cover image . )

In the early part of the 20th century , Nesbit 's figure and face appeared frequently in mass circulation newspapers and magazine advertisements , on souvenir items , and calendars , making her a cultural celebrity .

She had the distinction of being an early fashion and artists ' model in an era when both fashion photography ( as an advertising medium ) and the pin - up ( as an art genre ) were just beginning their ascendancy .

Nesbit achieved worldwide notoriety when her husband , the multimillionaire Harry Kendall Thaw , shot and killed Stanford White on the rooftop theatre of Madison Square Garden on the evening of June 25 , 1906 , leading to what the press would call the " Trial of the Century " .

During the trial , Nesbit testified that as a stage performer , and while still a 14-year - old , she attracted the attention of the then 47-year - old architect and New York socialite Stanford White , who first gained her family 's trust then sexually assaulted her while she was unconscious .
